Week 2 2018 Predictions

Tommy, Andrew, Logan, and Artem make their predictions for week 2 college football action

Week 1 2018 Recap

This week Tommy, Logan, Andrew, and Artem (with some input from Artem's daughter Nora) discuss the overreactions we can easily make from week 1 of the college football season in 2018

Week 1 Predictions 2018

This week Andrew, Artem, Logan, and Tommy (in spirit) discuss some of the games in the week 1 college football season.

 

Intro: We pay brief homage to Clint Dempsey as he retired yesterday.

 

2:15 We talk about the Zach Smith controversies (since we may have lost the audio data from our ontrovery episode). Zah Smith did not abuse his wife (according to Zach Smith) but will not comment on sleeping with his secretary, ordering dildos to Ohio State stadium, or masturbating in the white house bathroom.

 

9:30 We discuss what we're most looking forward to this season, including teams and games we're excited to see.

 

17:45 NW @ Purdue: Purdue hasn't beathen NorthWestern since 2010. NorthWestern has a great QB prospect but with injuries for NW and a surgin Purdue program will this be the year Purdue breaks their losing streak?

 

21:00 Wake Forest @ Tulane: Tulane is a struggling program. Will a homefield advantage give them the edge over a young Wake Forest team?

 

24:25 Syracuse @ Western Michigan: Tim Lester (the WMU head coach) has a long history with Syracuse from his days as an Offensive Coordinator. Can Tim's experience overcome Syracuse and their talented QB Eric Dungey?

 

28:41 Army @ Duke: Duke has a stout defense which showed it can stop the veer offense against GT last year. Can Army overcome this defense and stop Duke's offense?

 

31:31 SDSU @ Stanford: Stanford is a 15.5 point favorite over a team they lost to last year in San Diego State University. Will this game be closer than the experts think? Also Andrew gives us information on the history of Wake Forest University... while we're talking about Stanford.

 

35:15 Colorado v Colorado State: Was Colorado State's performance last week against Hawaii, representative of how they will perform in this game? Also Andrew doesn't know how to gamble.

 

39:30 Texas v Maryland: Maryland has alot of off the field issues. Can Maryland overcome these issues and compete against a talented Texas team?

 

44:45 Ole Miss v Texas Tech:Are Landsharks better than Tortillas?

 

47:40 Washington v Auburn: Tommy makes some poignant arguments in a game no one else wants to pick because we have no idea what to make of Auburn.

 

52:45 Tennessee v West Virginia: do any of us really expect WVU to lose this game after seeing how UT played last year?

 

54:35 North Carolina @ Cal: UNC has one of the weirdest set of opening games in all of college football as they go to the west coast to face down Cal.

 

56:53 Michigan @ Notre Dame: The highlight matchup this week. Which team will boost their playoff chances by winning this matchup?

 

01:01:30 Bama v Louisville: Why do people talk shit before playing Bama?

 

01:05:00 BYU @ Arizona: Can BYU snap their losing streak?

 

01:08:00 Navy @ Hawaii: Can Hawaii keep the upsets going over a tough Navy team? Also we discuss how coach Kenny is coming back home.

 

01:12:20 Miami v. LSU: Can Miami get the turnover chain going against LSU?

 

01:15:05 VT @ FSU: Will we see much offense in this game?

 

01:19:10 We make our personal picks and Andrew spikes the Microphone.

Drunk Moustache Episode 11: Compass Rose Brewery, Halestorm, Mike Shinoda, and Gorrilaz

The Drunken Moustache has returned. This episode we bring on two new personalities in Ozzy and Kevin. Ozzy, Kevin, and Logan discuss the beer and experience at the Compass Rose Brewery before discussing the albums "Vicious" by Halestorm, "Post Traumatic" by Mike Shinoda, and "The Now Now" by Gorrilaz. Additionally, Ozzy can't stop banging on tables, Logan likes But Rock, and Kevin doesn't listen to lyrics because who needs them.

GT and TAMU Talk

This week Andrew, Logan, and Artem discuss their favorite teams. With the season waiting just around the corner we talk about the team rosters, their new offensive and defensive styles, and what games we are most looking forward to this season.

2018 SEC Predictions

This week the whole crew is here to cover the SEC and expectations for teams going into the 2018 season.

 

1:44 Vandy is the perennial "weak point" of the SEC. this year they lose some talent on defense but return a decent young QB. Can Vandy take advantage of what may be a down year for some major SEC East opponents.

 

5:14 Kentucky has a tough scedule to stae down and many questions at various positions, especially QB. The question on everyone's mind this year is can they finally beat Florida?

 

9:11 Dan Mullin steps in at Florida. He was the offensive coordinator who coached Tim Tebow. Florida has alot of talent, but will be enoug to over come hated rival uga?

 

15:04 Tennessee had one of the craziest offseasons for any team in recent memory. After last year this storied program will see if they can get their feet back under them and start rebuilding.

 

18:50 South Carolina returns alot of players this year, but do they have the talent to compete with other teams in the SEC east?

 

23:56 Mizzou is the clear frontrunner to win the SEC east (no sarcasm). Defense was their biggest weakness last year. Can their defense give enough support to Drew Lock to win some big games?

 

29:34 Arkansas hired Chad Morris from SMu, they do have some position battles but its fair to say expectations are low for the upcoming season. What might we see out of a developing new offensive system.

 

33:18 Artem bashes Arkansas (which is a very Texas A&M thing to do) and then discusses what changes we can expect at TAMU now that Jimbo Fisher is at the helm of the program.

 

39:12 We ponder whether Gus Malzahn is disrespected as a coach given his recent performances in seasons at Auburn. Also Big Kat Bryant is an awesome name.

 

44:11 Miss State is a lowkey darkhorse to win the SEC west if they can get their offense running.

 

48:00 LSU has been in a downhill slump as a program since they last won the national championship. Is the influene of the fanbase causing a negative impact on the program?

 

54:01 uga is gonna be good this year

 

59:34 Bama is also gonna be good this year

 

1:07:30 Ole Miss has a new mascot

 

1:09:14 We make or conference championship picks.

2018 ACC Previews

This week the gangs all here to cover the the teams in the ACC. The conference looks like its Clemson's for the taking, but strange things have a tendency of happening in the ACC, and you can expect this year to be no different.

 

8:09 mark we cover the big boy in the conference. Clemson probably has the best defense in college football this year, the question becomes how their position battle at QB will be resolved considering a tough early season schedule.

 

17:22 FSU has plenty of talent but they have to dea with a coaching transition and a potential position battle at QB of their own.

 

22:43 NC State exceeded expectations last year to many people's surprise. The admisitration at NC State has put a larger focus on improving the football program and it seems to be paying dividends. With that said we'll have to see how they handle some serious set backs this year, especially on defense where they lose most of their talented athletes.

 

26:33 Papa is no longer in the house for Louisville, and neither is Lamar Jackson. How far should we expect these losses to set them back.

 

30:19 Wake is loaded with players that are waiting to prove themselves. If the players succeed Wake might see a bowl game, or potentially more, in their future.

 

34:10 BC needs to prove themselves on offense if they want to pull off some potential upsets this year.

 

37:30 Miami is dealing with some fan unhappiness regarding their current starter at the QB position, however it might be more useful for them to focus on how the team performs on defense this year if they want to make it past Clemson.

 

41:48 VT had high expectations this year... until they lost many of their players and perssonnel this offseason to a combination of injuries and scandals. This may be a year VT will have to be happy with making a bowl game.

 

47:01 GT has a new D-coordinator. The ACC Sports Journal seems to think he will have 13 players on the field based on their draw up of his offense. What can fans realistically expect to see on the field.

 

54:58 Virginia made a bowl game last year. They have to replace a QB but this may give Mendenhall a chance to go back to a zone read offense he is familiar with. We'll have to watch closely to see how this plays out.

 

57:50 Duke should not be underestimated, especially with Cutcliffe at the helm. with what may be a down year in the ACC Coastal could we potentially see Duke in the Top 25 this year?

 

1:01:18 UNC fell apart last year due to injuries. They have talent this year if they can stay healthy, but can they find leadership on a team that had most of its more experienced members graduate last year.

 

1:05:15 Pitt may be interesting to watch with many weapons on offense to take advantage of.

 

1:08:08 We almost forgot about Syracuse... that's all I have to say about Syracuse
