Wayne lost the Ryder Cup bet (again) ... plus the week 6 preview with Phil Steele Oct 01, 2025

Show notes

Just like Europe went on the road and won a Ryder Cup in hostile territory last weekend, there was some elite quarterback play on the road from a handful of guys who get praise on today's show. Dante Moore, Julian Sayin, Ty Simpson, and CJ Carr all had to get it done away from home - and just like Europe - they did the thing. Don't worry, this is not a golf show. Far from it. Wayne empties the notebook on his observations from the good quarterback play (and the bad - see Drew Allar), plus we get into the week 6 card with Phil Steele who gets choked up talking about Vanderbilt football. Yes, really. It's October, people! Fall is here! Let the football and the leaves wash over you! Bathe in it!

Why isn't College Gameday going to Tallahassee? Sep 30, 2025

Show notes

On the surface it's a simple question, but what does it really say about the ACC when two of your power brands are hooking up in a primetime game and instead you're getting passed over for Alabama versus ... wait for it ... Vanderbilt? Lots of reaction from the weekend that was with Roddy, Hartzell, and Tripp. The Doc is obviously still butt-hurt about his 'Noles losing in somewhat controversial fashion (atleast according to Tripp), plus plenty of other observations from the ACC (GT/Wake, VT/NC State, et al.). We dive into the SEC with Brad Crawford from CBS Sports to talk about the coaching vacancy in Fayetteville and some others which might be opening very soon in this league. Plus plenty of on-the-field thoughts on LSU/Ole Miss, Alabama/UGA, and what to do with Texas A&M. All that plus Rodstra taking a peek at the week 6 slate and giving us a baker's dozen of picks to close out the show.

Felder Friday - buckle up, kids Sep 26, 2025

Show notes

You got twelve ranked teams hitting the road this weekend and there is a potential for Friday and Saturday to get off the rails. We got a lot to talk about on the show - including the Felder Five - where we dive into some of these monster games. Penn State hosting Oregon, Georgia taking on Alabama, and LSU at Ole Miss, just to name a few. All that AND the Ryder Cup going at the same time makes for a busy sports weekend and we're here for it. We got Zach Berry from AtoZSports in the house with us to talk about the heavy SEC slate and give us his perspective on Texas heading into their bye week with some momentum and the Ole Miss/LSU matchup in Oxford. Picks segment gets spicy because Tripp has some reckless takes and wants to go to head-to-head with Hartzell on this weekend's card. We're absolutely loaded for week 5, come ride with us!

The Ryder Cup show ... plus a week 5 preview with Phil Steele Sep 24, 2025

Show notes

Yeah there's some golf talk on the show today. Sorry not sorry. Wayne had to send Hartzell a dozen golf balls two years ago and the wager is back on the table for Bethpage which starts on Friday morning. There's also copious amounts of college football talk because Tuesday was a busy day for the news cycle; there's another P4 job opening (in Stillwater), and the Heisman race just got flipped on its head because John Mateer is going to miss a few weeks after hand surgery. The guys talk about all of that and then some...plus Phil Steele stops by for his normal run through the top-25 dance card for this week which might just be the best of the season so far. Lots of ranked teams on the road Saturday, who does Phil think is on upset alert? Come for the football talk, stay for the USA vs the Euros discussion at the end of the program!

Is Miami the best team in the country? Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

According to Roddy Jones the answer is emphatically yes that Miami is the best team in the Southeast. Hartzell says no ... and Tripp is just here to see a good fight. Does winning road games factor into this equation at all? Because if so Miami has yet to leave their backyard. That's got to count, right? A spirited debate ensues with the fellas. Plus Roddy's takeaways from the weekend in Oxford, talking ball with Lane Kiffin and where Ole Miss projects as a top-tier SEC team this season (we're about to learn because LSU is in town Saturday). Week 4 takeaways with contributions from the whole group, plus a lookahead to this weekend's massive card, including FSU on potential upset alert Friday night and some big boy football on Saturday in the B1G and SEC. Tripp asks Hartzell about Phish and micro-dosing. Yes, really.

Felder Friday - these seedlings still need water Sep 19, 2025

Show notes

Week 4 is upon us and don't let these folks fool you, we are NOT a quarter of the way through the college football season. Far from it. Plenty to talk about this week including the Felder Five (TM) which does not shy away from the big games. Felder is full of metaphors today - including why Georgia is like a bacon cheeseburger, and which college team has big front porch energy because they can't close at the end of the date. Tripp and Hartzell are back with another round of picks but the real star is our boy Felder who has given out back-to-back double digit underdogs who have won outright the last two weeks. This man is seeing things so clearly that you're going to want to stick around and check out his week 4 'dog because when you're hot you're hot.

Wayne's Week Threezer Review and Phil's Down the Week 4 Number Lines Sep 17, 2025

Show notes

Hartzell has fled the pod for a night to see his beloved Phish in concert - yes the title of this episode has two song references in it.

Phil Brame steps in to hear from Wayne Cook on the heels of the end of the Deshaun Foster era in Westwood while Brent Pry was also shown the door in Blacksburg. From there we thankfully have some fantastic week three games to review with Wayne before Phil Steele drops by with his view of the lines for week four. We close the pod with a look at the imbalance in conference schedules - and how it's not a new problem - before sneaking in a quick golf chat and get a vibes check from Wayne ahead of next week's Ryder Cup. Sincerest apologies to those of you who enjoy Phish, we're just here to give Hartzell a hard time.
