Verbally Committed

Another wild week of football just took place and basketball is right around the corner. But we took a sharp left turn this week in what we decided to talk about. When we started this podcast we could have stuck to just football or just basketball. But instead we made an oath to cover all collegiate sports and by god we did that this week. 

This week for the first time ever we dipped our toes into the waters that is college hockey. And we did this thanks to Brian Brewster who has a connection to one of our hosts. (He's Connor's Uncle). The secret has been revealed. 

But he is the head athletic trainer for the University of Michigan Wolverines Men's Hockey team. And during this unprecedented 2020 season that includes trying to play a season through a pandemic. He makes for an incredibly interesting conversation. 

We ask him the hard hitting questions like 

- On a scale of 1/10 how feasible did he think it would be for the season to be played, and even now even as the season has started how does he feel?

- What could we see continue in college sports when we get to the new normal in a post-COVID world. 

- His reaction to successfully navigating everyone to be healthy and play a game in 2020.

- TB12 method, does it work?

- Admittedly none of us were probably at our healthiest in college. Whether it be heavy drinking, poor eating or bad sleeping habits, how does he keep these kids in top physical shape?

- All the feels when it comes to injuries, a funny experience he had during a gruesome injury but also a sad one. 

- His favorite Big Ten town to visit when he is away from Ann Arbor

- What it's like to be playing hockey with no fans in the stands

- He also gives his takes on Nebraska football, Michigan football and how he feels about a certain team playing in Bedlam this week. 

Great episode, we hope you all enjoy, we had a lot of fun making it as you will hear.

For the first time in 2020, college football is finally in full swing with the MAC and Pac-12 returning to play this weekend. It sucks that it took till the first week of November to get there... But hey, we're here now! We break down a ton of topics this week. 

- Michigan and Penn State lose. Ohio State's only real opponent in the B1G Ten? Themselves... 

- Wisconsin has a second straight game canceled against Purdue. Let's assume they can't play in the Big Ten Championship Game. Who instead comes out of the Big Ten West Division?

- No Trevor Lawrence this week for Clemson due to COVID, does that open the door for Justin Fields to run away with the Heisman?

- Down go the Pokes! Who is the favorite to win the Big 12 now? Does Oklahoma sneak up on everyone? Can Iowa State hold them off?

- What is the possible path to the playoff for non Power Five schools like Cincinnati and BYU? 

- Picks for who will win the Pac-12. Will it go chalk? Or will it be unpredictable like the rest of 2020 has been. 

- Halloween was last week, so we play a game in which we pick perfect Halloween costumes for select coaches. 

- Tommy Tuberville, remember him? He's a politician now and won a senate spot in the state of Alabama. Who are some other coaches we could see end up going from the sideline to Washington?

- Previews of big games this weekend, Clemson-Notre Dame, Georgia-Florida, BYU-Boise State and many more

- Of course we have locks, and we were hot last week, looking to keep the streak rolling.

In case you haven't noticed, Halloween falls on a Saturday this year and apparently there will also be a full moon? That should give us an absolutely weird week of college football coming up. We have much to discuss. 

- The famous Foxwoods jingle, has it subconsciously made us the gamblers we are today? 

- Gilli dips our toes into the college basketball waters, discussing PC dodging URI? Or PC's chances in the Big East?

- Is Michigan actually the team to beat in the Big Ten for Ohio State rather than what we thought a week ago was Penn State? 

- Is Oklahoma State, despite being undefeated, still the actual front runner for the Big 12?

- Is there a conspiracy theory between Nebraska, the Big Ten and the refs?

- Should Justin Fields be your Heisman favorite?

- Locks and picks for Halloween week, it's going to be weird!

This weekend, after long last, Big Ten football is back. And we break down everything you need to know for week one of the Big Ten. We also break down last week's ball games as well as discuss some blog ideas from our brethren at Couch Guy Sports.

- Can Alabama be beaten? How impressive was their victory over Georgia? Fun playoff possibilities.

- Is Penn State truly Ohio State's biggest threat in the Big Ten? 

- Last week's games, our locks SUCKED.

- South Carolina, the king of "Meh"

- Locks, although we shook it up officially. We picked one favorite and one dog. And someone steals somebody else's lock... And we love the board again.

- Getting you ready for week one in the Big Ten. Nebraska vs. Ohio State in the "We Want to Play Bowl", Wisconsin dominance on Friday nights? Or Illinois and Lovie Smith have their number? Iowa and Purdue, classic B1G to start it off. Battle for the Little Brown Jug in week one.

- Rest of the board, easy winners across the slate this week, it's a good week to win some games and some money.

It has been an absolutely bonkers season for College Football already. And the Big Ten and Pac-12 haven't even started playing yet. What was up the week before is now down, what was down two weeks ago is now up and you don't even want to get into what's sideways. So we do our best to break down what was another wild week of college football and do our best to "predict" what could happen this week. 

- Red River Shootout was a SHOOTOUT. OU beats Texas, both are now unranked, but it was still awesome

- What is Mississippi State,  LSU, Florida, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Pitt? Too Many teams that are simultaneously promising, disappointing and exciting all at the same time. 

- Is Boston College legit? 

- Among Us is dominating our brains, who inside the top ten is super sus? 

- Locks? For next week. Gilli still feels good about his picks, Connor is throwing darts at a wall he's so lost. 

- Nick Saban has COVID, how does it affect the Alabama vs. Georgia game this weekend? 

We recap what was yet again another wild weekend of college football and look ahead and try to attempt to predict what we might see this week. Although that is proving to be really tough this year. And we talk about prime basketball player numbers. 

- Best Basketball player numbers 

- The Big 12 is upside down, Oklahoma and Texas both lose. We tried to tell you that Ames is weird. 

- Kentucky lost because a guy threw up deuces?

- Mississippi State, hot and cold, where is the happy medium?

- Locks for this week

- Red River Rivalry game, maybe the most downtrodden version of it but hey we're still going to talk about it! 

Sorry, didn't mean to get political on you all, we're just using this title for clicks and as a joke from the debate from the other night. Which was worse? Watching that or a Florida State football game? Okay on a more serious note we break down this week

- How our Dad's write emails

- Oklahoma upset by Kansas State, are their playoff dreams done? 

- Texas pulls off a miracle

- Is Mississippi State better than we thought or is LSU worse than we thought?

- LOCKS of the week, we each provide you with two distinct locks of the week, we're getting bold

The SEC is back this week giving us our biggest and best slate of games to date. So what better way to celebrate that by bringing on Chris Jones of the Chasers Podcast. A gambling based production on Couch Guy Sports. And after Gilli and Connor finally hitting their locks last week we can now get serious. 

- Notre Dame is a mess...

- B1G schedule, is Nebraska really being punished? 

- MAC and Mountain West coming back? 

- One word game for last week's contests

- Locks and best bets for this this upcoming week
