Let Them Eat Takes

College football has its blue bloods. Soccer, the sport of the world, also has blue bloods, and all the weird prejudices and stereotypes that entails. This week, we dive into why NFL scouts incorrectly assessed Brock Osweiller for very similar reasons that a mediocre striker from Brazil might get picked up by a European club. We also diagnose the ass-kicking that happened in Athens, why Vol fans on twitter are insane, and why we're not as confidant as they are that Tennessee would beat Georgia in a rematch.

We're getting straight to the point in this episode and discussing the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs and the No. 1 Tennessee Volunteers playing in Athens Saturday. What calamity might ensue? Plus, Scott gives us some thoughts on the long-term outlook of Josh Heupel's Tennessee program. We mention the World Series, but we don't linger too much because we're still really vexed about Robert Manfred's primetime ban on the Braves. Jonathan's son is terrified of Blooper, the nation is sick of John Smoltz's color commentary, plus Taco Bell is promising its fans the return of a favorite, as well as booming business for folks who work in sanitation. The World Cup is happening, and that statement encapsulates our feelings toward it. Also, we share some stories about people we know who played fullback at the University of Georgia (back when they still had those on the roster).

Coaches love winning, but do they love winning more than winning their way? We ask this question as it looks like Jimbo Fisher is going to have to put down "War and Peace" and instead read "Who Moved My Cheese?" if he wants to stay in Aggieland. Same sentiment applies to Kirk Ferentz, who is very lucky to be coaching Iowa and not asking questions about why his son's offense stinks. The 2008 Florida Gators are finally getting a docuseries; speaking of the Gators, Kirby Smart hates them so much he has players who haven't lost to them in their Bulldog careers mad about the last loss in the series. MAC has blessed us with scheduling enough Tuesday and Wednesday night games that we don't have to worry about no football on until after Thanksgiving. Plus, Scott gives a rundown of the NBA to Justin (a casual fan) about what's going to be fun to watch this season. 

This week, we dunk on the Mets for failing to sell out a primetime postseason elimination game, Jimbo Fisher's red zone offense, Brian Snitker's bullpen management, Iowa's offense (again), and Bryce Young's inspiring Facebook post after the 24-20 win over Texas A&M. We also ask important questions like: do NFL coaches really overuse analytics? How bad is Oklahoma right now? Is it Stetson Bennett's fault that Georgia doesn't have a reliable X-receiver? Can college football really handle the Vols being back? Plus we take a look back on Phillip Fulmer's career as a Shakespearean backstabber. 

This week, we talk about some of the big moves in Madison, Jimbo Fisher's buyout (should that line of total insanity be pursued by Texas A&M), Tom Brady getting an extra finger available for some hardware, and we'll react to the Braves sweeping the Mets en route to winning another NL East pennant. Justin shares the darkness he discovered while watching Georgia struggle against Missouri and we all share what we're looking forward this next weekend in college football.

On this one, Kevin and Jonathan talk about the Braves, college football, and lament the Falcons. Jonathan pretends he is a therapist and gives Kevin a safe space to vent his frustration about his two favorite college programs (GA Tech & Auburn) being fully ablaze in a dumpster fire right now. We end by reminiscing on how we came to support the programs and teams we love.

Today, we're talking about one of college football's most celebrated dynasties (not Alabama, though we'll get to them). Jonathan asks the most important question in the sport: how bad is Iowa's offense, really? Kevin thinks there's something wrong with Stetson Bennett, Scott reassesses Greyson Lambert's record setting game that made Steve Spurrier want to quit, and Justin found another baffling case of public domain laws being exploited to horrifying ends. We'll also talk about that performance which is the Atlanta Falcons surrendering leads (and whether Kenley Jansen wants to jump on that bandwagon).
