Shutdown Fullcast

The Clemson-Alabama rematch was so entertaining and interesting that this might be our least joke-filled episode...ever? We got too caught up admiring Deshaun Watson, and Clemson's receivers, and how their defense played spectacularly for so long that the offensive line could pick itself off the mat when they needed to. We even have lots of positive things to say about Alabama! It's all very confusing and probably a sign that we need to sleep way more.

One game remains in this college football season, so, appropriately, we spend a bunch of time on this episode talking about fried chicken restaurants. Theoretically there is also discussion of:

- Ohio State's very poor showing/the Clemson Credit Card

- New coaches that may be headed for rough first years

- Press box fighting rankings

- Teams that are likely to be hyperinflated by bowl success

- Notre Dame OH YEAH WE FOUND A WAY SUCKERS

- My one and only goal for 2017: to become the Bloomin Onion Mascot.

Number 39 of 40 bowl previews, in which we may not discuss the Rose Bowl or the teams playing in it whatsoever! Actually, this one is confusingly positive, about the bowl venue and the players involved and shoot even the coaches. 2016 has been a very trying year.

Number 36 of 40 bowl previews, in which we may not discuss the Fiesta Bowl or the teams playing in it whatsoever! This one has some actual football discussion, which, I'm sorry, I know that's not why you're here and we'll try to do better.

Number 35 of 40 bowl previews, in which we may not discuss the Peach Bowl or the teams playing in it whatsoever! I mean, it's a playoff game, so we're probably going to talk about the teams and the game. But this is a pretty bad and pointless podcast, so there's a chance we won't.

Number 34 of 40 bowl previews, in which we may not discuss the TaxSlayer Bowl or the teams playing in it whatsoever! Kentucky and Georgia Tech have explore the whole football spectrum this year, from "beat Louisville and Virginia Tech" to "lost to Southern Miss and barely beat Duke." So if you know what's going to happen in this game, you are a liar or a time traveler. If you're a time traveler, why are you listening to this podcast? (That's true of non time travelers as well, to be fair.)

Number 33 of 40 bowl previews, in which we may not discuss the Citrus Bowl or the teams playing in it whatsoever! Wait, no, this is a bowl that has Coach O and Lamar Jackson in it. Of course we're talking about the teams. (And Todd Grantham, Emotional Defensive Coordinator.)
