Missed us over the holidays? We’re back at the table and starting with a simple ask: help us grow by sharing the show with five friends. From there, we plunge into a chaotic trivia sprint—beaver mayors, molasses floods, and ketchup-as-medicine—that warms up the mics before we tackle what’s really on our minds: how to make college football sane again.

We break down why a disciplined, veteran roster can dismantle brands built on hype, and why the first rounds of the expanded playoff belong on campus. Home fields change everything: tempo, substitutions, coaching decisions, and the energy that TV money can’t fake. Then we go straight at the messy middle—NIL, opt-outs, and the transfer portal—offering solutions that value both players and programs. Move portal windows after the season ends. Tie high school NIL deals to two-year commitments so there’s real development and return on investment. Incentivize postseason participation with transparent contracts. Wrap it all in a calendar that delivers a January finish without coaches and athletes juggling teams.

It’s equal parts fandom and practicality: we love the sport too much to watch it drift. Recruiting rankings matter less than age, cohesion, and repetition. The best teams are older, deeper, and built on reps that a carousel of coordinators can’t provide. We also share plans for the year ahead—listener shoutouts, a shift toward video, and more ways to bring you into the room.

If you care about better football, smarter incentives, and real playoff stakes, this one will hit home. Share the episode, leave a review, and tell us your fix for the NIL-portal-postseason mess. And yes—campus playoff games: for or against?
