College Football's New Reality | Late Kick Live Ep. 229 Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

Late Kick Live Ep. 229 features Josh Pate discussing the very latest on the changing landscape of College Football as it becomes easier by the way to overhaul a roster when a new coaching staff comes in. How much quicker could we see Brian Kelly at LSU and Lincoln Riley at USC remake their teams than they would have been able to do under the rules a decade ago? We also check the Transfer Portal and the latest whispers and intel surrounding several big names still out there including Caleb Williams and Jaxson Dart. The Mood Tracker series continues tonight with a deep dive into the fanbase temperature at South Carolina. How are things around the Gamecock program? Will an infusion of talent via the Transfer Portal be what the doctor ordered for Shane Beamer and his staff? All that plus we add some Late Kick Extra flavor to the show by diving into the mailbag.

Could we be seeing other contenders besides USC involved in the pursuit of Williams? The Mood Tracker series continues tonight with a deep dive into the fanbase temperature at Penn State. How are things around the Nittany Lions program? Will an infusion of talent via a highly ranked recruiting class be what the doctor ordered for James Franklin and his staff?

Is the transfer portal out of control? | Late Kick Live Ep. 222 Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

Late Kick Live Ep. 222 features Josh Pate counting down to the National Title game next Monday night in Indianapolis with a look at what Nick Saban has done at Alabama and how he has warped the perception of the sport for so many people. Has the greatest dynasty in the history of College Football fooled too many into thinking the sport is broken? Speaking of titles, Josh also takes a look back at the 2005 Rose Bowl between USC and Texas. Was this the greatest title game ever? Was it also the pinnacle of College Football? We also take a look at what has already been an insane week in the world of the Transfer Portal with Oklahoma QB Caleb Williams entering his name while Dillon Gabriel exited UCLA before setting foot on a practice field to head to Norman instead. Are there checks and balances needing to be inserted into the equation or will we continue to see free movement unchecked? Additionally we take an in-depth look at the evolving nature of the SEC East. Could one OR several programs finally be adjusting to the dominance UGA has shown in recent years?
