Welcome back to The Grey Zone, the college football podcast that reminds you to savor every snap from every game every fall Saturday (and Fridays, and most Thursdays, some Sundays, and occasionally on Wednesdays, and Tuesday last week, but who's counting?).

My guest this week knows how to show up and have fun, Georgia Super-fan William Dent!

We're changing things up with this one, so consider this the extra credit episode because, well, why not? We love it & don't need an excuse to do it, just talking UGA, the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, & the Bulldogs' past, present and future. 

It's way too much fun savoring absolutely every snap you can, but if you gotta get mad at anything, get mad at February when college football is over, & until then hang ten in The Grey Zone!    

Welcome back to The Grey Zone, the college football podcast that reminds you to savor every snap from every game every fall Saturday (and Fridays, and most Thursdays, some Sundays, and occasionally on Wednesdays, and even TUESDAY this past week, but who's counting?).

My guest this week is, well, ME! Or you can maybe pretend I'm talking to my twin brother, Bennett.

I've mostly recovered from The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party after a few gallons of fluids & some trauma therapy, but then the season's first-ever official College Football Playoff rankings came out this week and brought me right down into the gutter. It's not enough, not even close, to take away from the inspiration & passion this sport celebrates every single weekend in the fall.

My guest this week is repeat Grey Zone offender & Georgia superfan Matt McGahee! 

We're hitting the road on our way to the Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party no matter what anyone else says we can't call it! The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs are looking to avenge their loss to the Gators from last season. Let's drink!

Welcome back to The Grey Zone, the college football podcast that reminds you to savor every snap from every game every fall Saturday (and Fridays, and most Thursdays, some Sundays, and another Wednesday this past week but who's counting?). 

My guest this week is repeat Grey Zone offender & Notre Dame super-fan, Chad Filchak! 

We're back, later than ever, but sincerely better late than never. I don't take this opportunity for granted, and this was my first social venture out since recovering from COVID-19 & it couldn't have hit harder. What a day, what a weekend we're about to have, and what an amazing blessing the 2021 college football season has been every single week to-date. I guarantee it doesn't stop this weekend, so savor every snap!

Welcome back to The Grey Zone! It's the college football podcast that reminds you to savor every snap from every game every single fall Saturday (and Fridays, and most Thursdays, some Sundays, and another Tuesday this past week but who's counting?).

Even Alabama loses football games, so get up and get ready for even more chaos as this week once again we're guaranteed another loss from another undefeated team! Here's a hint, though: it ain't Michigan!

My week 6 picks were more improved than Tennessee's football program has been in over a decade, but this week I've got more film, more data, & even more reason to believe I'll never be more wrong than I was in week 1.

Speaking of Tennessee, can Ole Miss win in Knoxville with Tennessee's best coach since 1999 coaching the Rebels? (hint, yes, but my God, take the over).

What do Michigan, Georgia and Texas San Antonio have in common after this weekend? (hint, it doesn't start with the letter "L").

Beavers and Bears and Bearcats, oh my!

Now that Syracuse finally has air conditioning in a dome named after an air conditioning company (& promptly removing its name...?), does Clemson look more like who we expected them to be in August? (hint, you can literally overdose on too much Vitamin C).

It's way too much fun savoring absolutely every snap you can, but if you gotta get mad at anything, get mad at February when college football is over, & until then hang ten in The Grey Zone!  

Welcome back to The Grey Zone, the college football podcast that never forgets how much fun this golden age of the sport will always be every single Saturday in the fall.

My week 4 picks were more inconsistent than an Alabama fan's bowels during halftime of a Lane Kiffin-led Ole Miss team in Tuscaloosa after a Guthrie's & Taco Casa binge, but this week I've got more film, more data, & even more reason to believe I'll never be more wrong than I was in week 1. 

Can Ole Miss win in Tuscaloosa after a bye-week? (hint, yes, yes, & take the over)

If Ole Miss beats Alabama, can anyone BUT Matt Corral win the Heisman? (yes, but not really)

Bearcats or Fighting Irishmen?  What the actual hell is a Bearcat anyway? I went to school there & still don't know...

Did the ACC make Miami play on a Thursday just to ensure another loss in the month of September?

It's way too much fun savoring absolutely every snap you can, but if you gotta get mad at anything, get mad at February when college football is over, & until then you're in The Grey Zone!  

Welcome back to The Grey Zone!

My week 3 picks were better than Coach Lane Kiffin's alarm clock on a bye-week before traveling to Tuscaloosa, and this week I've got more film, more data, & even more reason to believe I'll never be more wrong than I was in week 1.

Does NC State have a real chance to be the first team to score an offensive touchdown on Clemson or even pull off the upset in Raleigh? (hint: hard no)

Is Notre Dame the best team to play in Chicago this year?

Can Georgia win on the road at Vanderbilt? (hint: Vanderbilt will have more points in the game than home fans in the stand)

It's way too much fun savoring absolutely every snap you can, but if you gotta get mad at anything, get mad at February when college football is over, & until then you're in The Grey Zone!

This week's tremendously special guest is Notre Dame superfan, Gerald Knight!  Gerald is an incredible representation of how college football can be used to deliberately enhance your life & he absolutely puts his money where his mouth is. Spending time in Gerald's Irish-themed mancave was a sincere treat for me (check out the pics on Twitter).

My week 2 picks were less consistent than a coaching search in Southern California, but this week we've got more film, more data, & we've got even more reason to believe I'll never be more wrong than I was in week 1 (d'oh!). 

Penn State's having a white-out for Auburn, or is it a white flag? (hint: Bo Nix has 5 kids to feed)

Does Georgia Tech score a the first offensive touchdown against Clemson this season? (no, but you knew that)

It's way too much fun savoring absolutely every snap you can, but if you gotta get mad at anything GET MAD AT FEBRUARY when college football is over, & until then you're in The Grey Zone!

To the victor go the spoils, as they say, and the Georgia Bulldogs were certainly victorious Saturday night in Charlotte against Clemson. That's why Georgia Matt's back this week.

But hey, we've BOTH got Clemson beating the Bulldogs this weekend in Death Valley, so that's something! 

My week 1 picks were nastier than my internet browsing history, but this week we've got film, we've got data, & we've got all the knowledge we can never have before the ball is snapped for the first big weekend of college football. 

Can Texas eat Hog in Fayetteville (hint, YES)?

It's way too much fun NOT to savor absolutely every snap you can, so if you wanna get mad at anything, GET MAD AT FEBRUARY when college football is over, & until then you're in The Grey Zone!

The 2021 Week ONE (is it?) College Football Kickoff Show with Bennett Thompson!

If you think you're hearing double this week, that's because this week's guest is none other than my genetic duplicate & absolutely stunning twin brother, Bennett Thompson!

We don't always agree as twins, but we do agree Clemson wins vs. Georgia, so that's something! We also don't love giant helmet stickers, but we love almost everything else about this completely stacked "opening" weekend of college football, including 5 straight days worth of gridiron madness. Truly, we are blessed. 

As always, find me on Twitter @ColorofGrey & Instagram @ColorofGreyStudio if you're interested in being on the podcast or producing one of your own.
