Semple Fi Podcast

The gang's all here, baby.

Following some quick recruiting notes including a silent commit and Hykeem's next visit to campus, we talk about the preseason AP Poll, who got snubbed, who was overrated, and did they get Pitt right at 17? We welcome on @B1G_Ryan from Flipping the Field and Meet at Midfield on to the pod to do some recon on our conference and to figure out who are enemies are in the ACC. Make sure to follow the pod on twitter @semplefipod and to follow and rate 5 stars if you like it!

Another Zack solo show, but this time I bring a new friend on the podcast. You read it right, we were lucky enough to have Kayla Lund to come on to the show to talk about Pitt Volleyball and answer some questions about the program, rivalries in the sport, how special the Fitzgerald Field House is, and what the future holds for both her and the Pitt Volleyball program.

9:30 - Interview with Kayla begins

Narduzzi went on a car dealership's podcast and just started talking shit like someone's alcoholic uncle from Mckeesport. And then doubled down at ACC media days. So yeah, we've got to cover all that in the middle of conference previews. Fuck Mark Whipple.

We also hit on the ACC Preseason Media Poll, where Pitt has not been picked to defend the crown, and then finally get to previewing the big, bad, SEC.

Delayed talk about the Heinz Field name change (RIP Ketchup Bottles) and we invite friend of the pod & Ohio State University correspondent Isaac Bloch (@isaacbloch20 on Twitter) to preview the Big 10.

It's still called Heinz to us, damn it.

We were in the middle of some lovely conference previews when the Big 10 had to go Sicko Mode and assimilate USC and UCLA into the conference. The year of Chip Kelly continues. The boys talk about what they expect the B10, P12, and B12 to do in the immediate future, and what the future looks like for the ACC. We're sending Syracuse fans to hell and their football team to the MAC. Play in an outdoor stadium and maybe you wouldn't be here, cowards.

The latter half of the episode is about gambling. We talk some interesting win total over/unders (found here https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/odds/win-totals/ ) and way-too-early Week 1 point spreads ( https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/odds/las-vegas/ )

Our inaugural round of season previews move forward here at Semple Fi as we move eastward across the country towards the ACC. This week we welcome on Jawn Iver (@jawn_iver on Twitter) from the QB Draw Podcast to help us with this week's conference:  the Big 12. We might go off the rails a couple times, but we would never forget to slander WVU and the Burnt Orange along the way. Suffice to say, if we were playing in the Big 12, we'd be getting several penalties for throwing some obscene horns downs.

In ACC news, the new 3-5-5 schedule dropped! The boys open the episode talking about Pitt's three new permanent opponents and how we feel about them, as well as looking around the rest of the league to see who got shafted and who made it out without harm. This episode may or may not include the potential welcoming of Saudi dark money in order to carry out a coup within the FTF air force. You'll never know without listening.

The boys return from an unplanned hiatus to bring you the most riveting show in college football podcasting right now: talking about the Pac-12 and how bad these teams can suck. Other topics (before the preview) include the news of the Big 12 expanding in 2023, a recap of Pitt's official visits and recruiting halfway through June, and how many aborted fetuses would be a trade-in equivalent for an on-campus stadium.

We host our first game on the show, but first...

This week, we welcome on our third host of the show, Mason!

We start the show by wrapping up the Addison Saga before diving into the new ACC 3-5-5 scheduling proposal.

The second half of the show, we invite you to a Tuesday night party at the Sigma Phi frat house, where we are joined by friend of the show Isaac (@issacbloch20) to draft a team of specialists. Drinking specialists that is. We're doing a super case race, and we're taking five sitting head coaches to prove their worth by downing a 30 rack of beer, a bottle of wine, and a fifth of liquor as fast as their bodies can handle.

EMERGENCY POD. JORDAN ADDISON HAS TRANSFERRED TO USC.

Solo Show from Zack. Topics today were breaking down his transfer, telling morons on the internet to can it, a look at the offense post-Addison, and a note from the recruiting trail that involved a classic Pat Narduzzi cryptic tweet.

It's been a pretty crazy week since our last episode. We cover the highs of draft night with Kenny's NFL expectations, and then jump right off the deep end into the Jordan Addison saga that happened over the weekend. Death to the NCAA. We talk about two other Pitt transfers in Bub Means and the exodus of Joey "Satan" Yellen. The epsiode finishes talking about 4-star QB Kenny Minchey's commitment to Pittsburgh. Thanks for listening! Be sure to follow the show on Twitter @semplefipod.
