  • Ep. 7 -5.14.20: FSU/Miami ‘02 Praise, Missing NCAA Video Game, Recruiting Dead Period Continues
    I spent a good chunk of my Thursday night watching a classic on ESPN, Miami and Florida State in 2002. God bless Ken Dorsey but how do you watch Miami weekly and vote Dorsey above McGahee for the Heisman? I discuss. Memory lane got me missing the NCAA Football video game so that gets a mention. Pac 12 about to be left even further in the dust? It’s discussed before we go over few recruiting notes over the last couple of days. Thanks for listening as always and thanks for sharing/rating and reviewing.

    Will the Pac 12 be playing football in 2020 or will they be waiting until spring? That gets discussed as news comes out late Tuesday night in regards to it. The MAC did something cool for non-football sports that deserves praise and Maurice Clarrett is back in the news and this time for good reason.

  • Ep 5 - Pac 12’s Proposal for 2020, Massive Recruit Picks Purple and Notre Dame Gets a Grad-Transfer

    Welcome back to the work week and to a day closer to college football - whenever that may be. Episode 6 includes: 

    Recap and thoughts on the Pac 12’s proposal for the 2020 season that would mean a few of the biggest non-conference games of the 2020 season would be cancelled.

    A very strong southern program lands the highest rated recruit they've ever landed.

    And Notre Dame gets instant relief at a position they desperately need it.

    Listen for all of that and for plans for the rest of the week on the College Football Morning Announcements.

  • Ep 4 - Harbaugh proposes NFL Draft Changes, NFL Schedule Day is lame & Oregon’s empty stadium rule

    In the fourth episode of Nick Shepkowski’s College Football Morning Announcements:

    Jim Harbaugh speaks and actually makes a lot of damn sense Thursday when he writes a letter to the college football world calling for drastic changes to the NFL Draft and NCAA eligibility.

    Oregon and Oregon State appear to be headed towards a September where their home games will feature no fans...if those games are even played at all.

    Who are the top 25 college football coaches today?  247 Sports did their list and I think for the most part, did it well. A few thoughts on it in here.

    And finally, Notre Dame adds the 10th commitment to their 2021 recruiting class.  We give you the information on Jason Onye here.

    Listen, rate, review, subscribe and share -- please and thank you!!

    Have a great weekend.
