College football season is here and the one thing we learned after Week 0 is that Jim Harbaugh and Caleb Williams are complete frauds. 

Cesar lays claim to the MFOTW claim by thinking the group TLC was a reference to tables, ladders, and chairs. So Mike tries to knock him off the mountain with a series of shady college football stories. First up, Brian Kelly and LSU tried to move their week 2 opponent to week 0 so that their star DT could serve his suspension and be available for their match-up against FSU. Next, Caleb Williams, who won’t be in college when the next NCAA game drops, whined about the $500 that EA Sports is reportedly offering players to be in the game. Finally, Jim Harbaugh calls out everyone that makes money off of college football players working for free, while ignoring that he, too, makes money off of college football players working for free.

The convo shifts to the Trey Lance trade and nobody is really excited about it.

The guys talk about the shooting at Guaranteed Rate Field and how a woman that was “grazed” by a bullet in the shooting was actually the one who snuck the gun past security by hiding in her body fat to get past the metal detectors. Plus, the guys laugh at the Nationals for the Strasburg contract.

Cesar is excited that Jaylen Brown used his left in the Big 3 All-Star game, and the fellas laugh at the Indiana man that was arrested for DUI in a Power Wheels.

Just a few topics to get to today as we discuss Bill Self's homecoming. First and foremost, we love this idea and hope more coaches can find creative ways to help Maui. We're excited to see Bill Self head back to Illinois and can Hunter Dickinson beat the Illini for the first time? Then we had to shout out our guys Mike Burgomaster & Reuben Williams. Two of our favorites got promoted this off season and are on to bigger and better things. We end it on a somber note talking about the sudden & tragic passing of Reggie Chaney. Reggie epitomized and personified everything about Houston Cougars hoops. RIP, Reggie.

Lou Holtz released a Top 16 for the college football season (for some reason) and Sisqo had never seen a thong until right before he recorded Thong Song. This week was packed full of useless trivia, borderline offensive accents, and stupid jokes.

The fellas discuss the Ravens preseason win streak coming to an end, and Scott feels like the Commanders are nothing to be worried about, claiming they’ll be lucky to win 5 games. The guys talk about the rumored Super Bowl Halftime Show, an all boy band Halftime Show featuring NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, Boyz II Men, Bel Biv DeVoe, Color Me Badd, and a K-Pop group. Mike then breaks down the backstory of Sisqo’s Thong Song and blows everyone’s minds. 

The conversation shifts to Lou Holtz and his college football Top 16. Beyond being terrible, it’s just a weird list coming from a guy nobody asked for it. So Mike decided to give his own Top 16 list: the Top 16 teams he wants to hear Lou Holtz pronounce. Hilarity ensues.

The guys shift to baseball, as the fellas discuss how baseball needs to incorporate the custom bats from the Little League Classic into everyday play. 

The crew discusses the Cuban coach who defected in the middle of the Little League World Series, and then rail on Pete Alonso for throwing away Masin Wynn’s first hit ball, and end the show with Scott going full OWG on Gunnar Henderson’s decision to leg out a double instead of staying at first base and getting the cycle.

The guys are back to talk about the QMJHL’s new anti-fighting policies, what it may lead to, and how the direction that hockey is going in may not be a good one. They then talk opt out clauses in sports contracts and how it would be good for all leagues. They have some laughs on how the reactions are when their team favorite team stinks and finish things off with a "Would You Rather?"

Rowdy TICH today as we chat about the developing news with Michael Oher. Did you know that Sean Tuohy was actually a basketball player for Ole Miss? Was that discussed in the book or film? I had no idea. Guy was an assist machine. He very well could be a terrible person as well but he could dish the pill in the SEC. Then we talk about the latest obstacle that Louisville & Kenny Payne will have to overcome. Trentyn Flowers has decided to play in Australia and leave the Cardinals. What does this mean for Louisville and for Kenny Payne's future? Not gonna lie... it looks bleak. Then we round it out with arguably the best day of the regular season... 12/16/2023

This Michael Oher story is crazy, and the fellas can’t believe that Blind Side got Blind Sided like that. Mike, Scott, and Cesar get into the wild story from Oher, claiming that the Tuohy family duped him into a conservatorship and that he hasn’t seen a dime from the Blind Side movie.

After briefly derailing to talk about Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Simpson, Mike floats a conspiracy theory past Scott about Kyle Shanahan purposefully tanking Trey Lance’s chances at being the starting QB. Plus, the guys laugh at the idea of Phillip Rivers joining the Niners had they beat the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.

The guys talk about CJ Okoye getting a sack, and the NFL raiding Africa for talent and spreading CTE to other countries and Mike unveils the Wiseguy’s Preseason Top 10 rankings.

The conversation shifts to basketball, as Cesar breaks down James Harden ripping Darryl Morey in an attempt to get out of Philly.

Mike discusses Lucas Glover’s swamp ass and how it overshadowed his back-to-back PGA tour wins, and the guys laugh at Cotton Eye Joe interrupting an important point at the Canadian Open.

The show wraps up with everyone talking about the Wander Franco story, and how tone deaf the Rays were to keep their kids snapback hat giveaway in place as the story started gaining steam.
