The Bench Boys

You didn't think we would leave you hanging after that incredible weekend did you? We brought in friend of the show Scott Watkins to talk about the Sun Belt Pages, as well as the incredible games we saw this Saturday. Football is BACK!

A few return guests join us for our first double interview! South Alabama head coach Terry Fowler and Coastal Carolina coach Jaida Williams spoke with us about two major issues in this two-part special! Today, we're talking about the systemic issues of racism and police brutality.

A few return guests join us for our first double interview! South Alabama head coach Terry Fowler and Coastal Carolina coach Jaida Williams spoke with us about two major issues in this two-part special! Up first, the pandemic that ended last season and still plagues the beginning of this season—the coronavirus outbreak.

We talked about his work last week... now we meet the man himself! Braden Gall is a writer for Athlon Sports, a radio host and a fellow podcaster! Now we get to pick his brain about our world... the Forgotten 5! We also ask him how the pandemic impacts his work for Athlon's magazine, and he gets a chance to share how much he knows about college football!

...or is it the train? Thomas and Colin break down exactly what it would take logistically and financially for a team to play a game even 6 hours away. We're also looking at what programs are doing in the sports drought.

The Boys sit down with friend of the show Robby Baker from WKRG in Mobile! They talk South Alabama football, Sun Belt changes and creating content when there is none!

The NCAA is giving spring student-athletes another season of eligibility! That sounds great, but it's actually pretty awful—there's several million reasons why, and we'll give them all to you. Also, the Sun Belt is rebranding! How the world found out, and why they've been so silent about it. Finally, the Draft is going Digital! How the NFL is holding its big event... without the war room!

Yeah, it's a pastiche of Seinfeld, which is itself a pastiche of sitcoms. A pastiche's pastiche. Capeesh? Look, there's no sports going on, so we had to figure something out. Thankfully, the Draft is still happening. But what about Pro Days? We found the answer. Also, we're doing a bracket, and we need your help with it!

Friend of the show, former Troy quarterback, Memphis Express legend and the man who threw the XFL's first touchdown pass joins the show! Brandon Silvers opens up about the transition to the XFL, keeping up with old teammates and how his new team dealt with the coronavirus news!
