It's the time of year when you, college football fan, crave deep, detailed, football-focused previews for the multitude of bowl games that are fast approaching. But we didn't do that last year, or the year before, and we're not doing it this year. This is 40 FOR 40, the series in which we give every bowl game as much time as we think it merits and talk about whatever even slightly bowl adjacent topics occur to us. It will always be this way and never improve. Games featured on this episode:

1:26 - THE NEW MEXICO BOWL

11:09 - THE CURE BOWL

17:59 - THE LAS VEGAS BOWL

29:15 - THE CAMELLIA BOWL

30:39 - THE NEW ORLEANS BOWL

I'm gonna be straight with you: I (Ryan) am pretty sleepy this morning so I did not go through the podcast for timestamps of what we discussed. I do know that we hit every conference championship game in some form or another, and that we did not let Iowa State almost losing to Drake escape our watch, and that this episode is brought to you by our friends at LEGO.

But I still love you and want you to do great things and I will hopefully time stamp the next episode!

Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson thought something was up when the Louisville defense read the Demon Deacons’ plays like they knew what was coming — even with plays Wake Forest had never used before. Teams have had spies for as long as college football has existed, but Wake was dealing with something entirely new: The plays were being stolen by someone standing on their own sideline.
