Tailgate on the Quad

Dabo Doubles Down, Brian Kelly Uses AI, & Big Ten Logos


Listen Later

College football is getting stranger by the week, and Ciarnan and Kev are here to break it all down.

This week, the guys dive into the latest chaos around the sport, including playoff expansion debates, Dabo Swinney’s recruiting philosophy, Brian Kelly reportedly using AI in his job search, and why international college football games somehow became a real thing. They also react to the Big Ten Conference continuing to dominate financially, plus candid comments from coaches about quarterbacks Drew Allar and Fernando Mendoza.

Then the conversation turns into a full-on Big Ten logo history deep dive. From iconic block letter brands to cursed redesigns, forgotten mascots, and legendary logo eras, the guys break down what works, what absolutely doesn’t, and why some schools refuse to leave the 1990s behind. Featuring discussions on the infamous “Sun Dodger,” Maryland’s buff turtle, and some unoriginality from programs (looking at you Michigan).
