Blu and Geoff discuss extreme weather tips, the difference between watches and warnings, space weather, Coastal Carolina's free concession plan, stats (or the lack thereof) on doping in college football, and speculate on the causes of such.

Blu and Geoff continue their offseason shenanigans with a discussion of journalistic corrections, a correction, the Ship of Theseus, the USS Enterprise (real), the Starship Enterprise, Kent State's Kenni Burns administrative leave, Stanford's firing of Troy Taylor, a lot about Andrew Luck, the oldest mascots, and talking about both weather and climate.

Blu and Geoff enter fine offseason form with a guest appearance from our favorite sports law professor to discuss an anti-climatic legal action from the state of West Virginia, efforts to revive the IU Bison mascot, the history of the Bison, and a very long sidetrack into Greek mythology, including asking if the Minotaur can block, Geoff forgetting Polyphemus has a name, building a defensive line out of mythological figures, and maybe the meanest thing Blu has ever said about Pete Carroll (Jason is a shitty person and we are not afraid to say it).

Blu and Geoff start with a whopping 45 minute cold open on schools having men's and women's basketball success at the same time, and then do a bit of March Madness themed discussion of an ideal tournament format (spoiler: if you are a selection committee, some things you here may be disturbing).
