The Nico Iamaleava Fiasco + John Kurtz on Kansas State & the Big 12

4/15/2025
In this episode, we tackle the breaking news of Nico Iamaleava transferring from Tennessee after an (alleged) failed NIL renegotiation.

We break down what went wrong, where he might land, and whether Tennessee could turn its sights toward a Big 12 starter. Later, John Kurtz from The John Kurtz Show and the Open For Business newsletter joins the show to preview Kansas State’s 2024 season, the development of quarterback Avery Johnson, and share broader thoughts on how the Big 12 fits into an increasingly chaotic college football landscape.

The Upset Bracket: Part 1

3/20/2025
Let's take a stroll down memory lane and discuss some of the wildest upsets over the last few seasons! In Part 1 of this two-part episode, and in honor of March Madnes, we unveil our Upset Bracket, pitting the biggest stunners from 2024 and 2021 against each other. From Michigan’s improbable triumph over Ohio State to Kansas’ overtime insanity against Texas, we break down the chaos, the stakes, and the moments that left fans speechless. Which upsets should be in our Final Four? Key Topics: Michigan’s 2024 upset over Ohio State: How a limited Wolverines squad stunned the eventual national champs in Columbus, with a huge point spread and a Sicario-inspired vibe. Kansas’ 2021 OT thriller vs. Texas: A 57-point explosion from a 2-10 Jayhawks team that humiliated the Longhorns in Austin—third-string QB heroics included! Vandy’s historic takedown of #1 Alabama in 2024: Diego Pavia and the Commodores rewrite 40 years of history, complete with goalpost-tossing madness. Northern Illinois stuns Notre Dame in 2024: A MAC team’s gritty road win over the Irish—a "ticker game" that defied a near-30-point line. Stanford’s OT gut punch to #3 Oregon in 2021: A 3-9 Cardinal team derails the Ducks’ season in a lifeless Stanford Stadium. Jacksonville State's takedown of Florida State in 2021: How a loss against an FCS program nearly upended Mike Norvell's rebuild. Bowling Green's upset on the road against Minnesota in 2021: The Falcons overcame a 30+ point spread to dump the Gophers in Minneapolis. Bubble upsets and honorable mentions: Kentucky over Ole Miss, Kennesaw State’s FBS debut win, and more chaos that almost made the cut.

Spring Diagnosis: Fixable Flaws for 10 College Football Teams

3/18/2025
In this college football podcast episode, we dig into a very specific list of ailments for 10 college football teams. From Illinois’ third-down struggles to USC’s late-game woes, we diagnose teams’ glaring issues from 2024—including Wisconsin’s explosiveness, Colorado’s run game, Air Force’s slip—and their 2025 cures. 0:00 - Intro 6:11 - Illinois 13:14 - Wisconsin 20:12 - Colorado 25:41 - Kansas State 30:57 - Arkansas 34:23 - Texas Tech 41:59 - USC 49:35 - Virginia Tech 55:52 - Wake Forest 58:04 - Air Force **Key Topics Discussed** Illinois’ Third-Down Blues Illinois shined in 2024, but abysmal third-down defense (100s nationally) left wins on the table—new DL transfers from Wisconsin aim to boost havoc and get off the field. Wisconsin’s Explosion Deficit Wisconsin’s offense fizzled (bottom 5 in explosiveness)—injuries (Tyler Van Dyke) and a mismatch with Phil Longo sank chunk plays; Jeff Grimes and Billy Edwards Jr could provide a spark. Colorado’s Run Game Riddle Colorado leaned on Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and a good crop of receivers, but its leading rusher ran for just 373 yards. Is Kaidon Salter’s dual-threat style in conflict with Pat Shurmur’s offense? Kansas State’s Turnover Tangles Kansas State’s Avery Johnson dazzled but tossed double-digit picks—turnovers (BYU, Iowa State) cost winnable games. Johnson's development should mean better results in 2025. Arkansas’ Fumble Fever Arkansas’ Taylen Green fumbled 8 times (lost 4) and threw 9 picks—fuelling a negative-8 turnover margin, which sank the Hogs in close games (Mizzou, Oklahoma State); ball security drills loom large. Texas Tech’s "Slipnosis" Texas Tech’s tackling woes (133rd in success rate) led to a low havoc rate and plethora of other black eyes for the Red Raider defense—new DC Shiel Wood and portal DBs/DL aim to steady a defense that leads the nation in returning production. USC’s Killer Instinct Void USC faltered in late game situations in 2024. Did Lincoln Riley reset the team's culture this offseason? Virginia Tech’s Narcolepsy Virginia Tech went 3-and-out on 33% of its drives in 2024—a shaky OL and banged-up Kyron Dones dulled the attack, Will Phil Montgomery as offensive coordinator and a battery of West Virginia transfers equal better consistency. Wake Forest’s Line Woes Wake Forest’s lines cratered in 2024—new HC Jake Dickert grabbed 22 transfers (7th in FBS), beefing up the OL/DL. Air Force’s Possession Slip Air Force’s formula (possess the ball, suffocate with defense) faltered in 2024 with 7 straight losses (Weeks 2-10) and a young defense that was exposed.
