Let Them Eat Takes

In this edition, Scott and Justin recap week 1 of college football, look ahead to what might be interesting down the road this year, and also talk about what's going on in the division races of the MLB. Scott braces himself for his first Atlanta Falcons season since moving back from California (and for the first time since Matt Ryan finally escaped), Justin struggles to get good audio again, plus our dynamic duo gets hyped for a new horror movie that breaks ground on some spicy copyright laws. 

It's only week 1 but it's never too early to talk about what coaches are getting fired this year. Will Scott Frost make it to to Halloween? Will Geoff Collins get 4 wins for the 404? Who's helping Bryan Harsin get his buyout this year? So many possibilities! Week 1 has already been a blast and we're excited for the weekend games. 

Bet you didn't think we'd get one out before the CFB season started, did ya? We are talking exclusively college football this episode and we're excited to be dropping it just days before Week 0 begins. And what a week 0 it is! Nebraska and Northwestern in Ireland, Austin Peay and Western Kentucky, Hawaii and Vandy... why, it's murderers row for gambling addicts! We'll talk what storyline we think are interesting this season, what teams will disappoint, which ones will dominate, and we'll get into a neat dive on some college football history: why does Auburn have so many mascots? How come no one gives grief to Bama for being the Crimson Tide but also Elephants? How did Georgia steal the G logo from Green Bay?

We're back... again! We've emerged from our championship-induced comas and we're back in the saddle again to talk sports (and this time, more than just college football!). We'll talk NBA, NHL (kind of), some soccer, a soccer player who bit people, a horse who bit other horses after winning the Kentucky Derby, baseball, and of course a little CFB. More importantly, well will be giving you, the listener, a peak into the future of developing college quarterbacks (and it's not what you think). Have I given enough clickbait descriptions yet? Go listen to the episode. It's gewd. 

In this episode, we're talking all Dawgs. There is no barking in this episode but we will revel in the glory of a National title finally making its way back to Athens for the first time since 1980. We'll talk about our favorite moments from the game, what we think it will mean for Georgia going forward, and of course we'll spend a decent amount of time talking about the man of the hour Stetson Bennett IV. We'll talk about his Good Morning America appearance, a good restaurant to go to in Blackshear, GA if you're ever passing through, plus the kind of party Athens needs to throw if Stetson rides off into the sunset. If you're tired of hearing about the QB (because screw that casual fan stuff!), we'll also talk about how Georgia's offensive line evolved halfway through the natty and what makes this defense special beyond the stats. Oh, and in case you're in close proximity to Bama fans, we'll also talk about why the injury excuses need to be thrown right back into their faces. 

Today's episode is brought to you by grits- the official food of offensive linemen in the college football playoff. Just kidding, it's brought to you by podcasters like us (but for listeners like you!). 

Today we're zeroing in on the big game Monday. We'll tell you how we think it's gonna go, and also how we're going to cope if our team doesn't win (if you're new around here, welcome to the homercast edition). 

Scott will explain to Justin all the drama around Caleb Williams, Jonathan will be sliding in late after a Kroger run that didn't go as planned (much like Georgia's defensive effort in the SEC title game), and Justin will talk about a hallucinogenic tea he will drink should the Dawgs get rolled by the Tide once more. 

But to wrap it up, we'll unite over the career of a certain NFL coach that ended much too soon. 

Today we're diving into the deep end to explore the depths of human darkness which Georgia fans find themselves in (and hopefully rescuing a few poor, unfortunate souls in the process). What went wrong for Georgia? Can they do any better in a potential rematch? How crazy is it that Cincinnati made the playoff? We'll also talk Georgia's quarterback situation; would playing JT Daniels have made any difference in the SEC title game? 

Other tidbits:

It's championship week! We're devoting extra airtime to the game of the week, the one we've all been waiting for... Oregon vs Utah in the Pac12 Championship!

Just kidding, we're talking about the SEC Championship mostly, please keep listening. Other talking points:

Everything this episode is about is in the title.... just kidding, we're not spending all our time today talking about funerals. As is customary, we will talk a lot of college football, some of us will give some takes that aged well, others not so well (Clemson has defied our expectations!). This episode was recorded before Dan Mullen got the sack but don't worry, we'll come back after Thanksgiving to talk about that delightful story. If you're a futbol fan you'll enjoy this one because we'll also be discussing the World Cup Qualifiers. And to wrap us up in a nice bouquet of unity, who is Scott Boras and why did no one care when Chipper Jones killed this man in broad daylight?

Sorry it's been two weeks but we've just riding the sweet, sweet high of that Braves World Series win. In case you forgot the wise words of Joc Pederson, we are those motherf*ckers.
