    Why talking about Colorado is unlike anything else in college football

    Why talking about Colorado is unlike anything else in college football

    It’s time for an offseason check-in with the most watched, most controversial 4-8 team in college football history. Richard, Godfrey, and Alex weigh in on the four different conversations that happen at any given second about Deion Sanders and Colorado: the one about the actual football team (5:30), the one about Deion as a leader of men (21:54), the one about race (52:20), and the one about disruption (1:09:00). Production: Anthony Vito.

    We get a lot of questions about how we keep up with the wide world of college football to bring you this podcast. How do we try to figure out where the interesting stories are? How do we keep eyeballs on a sport with so many teams at so many different levels? In the spirit of transparency and it being April, let’s talk about how to process a sport with a million things happening at once. These are our tips from years of covering the sport professionally, but they aren’t just for media members. We hope they can help anyone get more out of CFB.

    USC’s Cautionary NIL Tale + Spring Portal Window Breakdown

    USC’s Cautionary NIL Tale + Spring Portal Window Breakdown

    USC reporter Luca Evans of the Orange County Register joins Alex to talk about the many challenges facing the Trojans in the NIL and collective space (4:19). How does a rich school with a blue-blood football history run into difficulty in this new world? USC is the best window into that question. Then Richard and Alex talk about the unusual buildup to the April transfer portal window (33:32) and break down interesting position groups to watch over the coming weeks: Michigan’s QBs, Penn State’s WRs, and more at Miami (x2), UNC, USC, and Washington. To close, they discuss the different ways that football institutions decided to remember (or not) O.J. Simpson (1:04:02). Production: Anthony Vito.

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com

    Welcome to The Single Wing, where Steven Godfrey takes subscriber questions on a wide range of college football topics. This week, Godfrey's officially issuing a Gangster AD badge (Go Vawls), and we're also discussing the come-up at Virginia Tech, the veteran plains-ish states head coach most likely to sneak into a title game (Go Utes), and the delightful mash-up of the Nick Saban and Bill Snyder eras. Plus, let's talk about an X-Men cartoon. Why not?

    How a pro football personnel director sees college football

    How a pro football personnel director sees college football

    Richard has a conversation with Eric Galko, the director of football operations and player personnel for the East-West Shrine Bowl. It’s wide-ranging: Eric shares his 2024 NFL Draft hot takes and QB rankings, then talks about how the NFL views college players—and how well their programs are developing them. Eric tells us whether NIL actually ruined the third day of the draft. And having developed the XFL kickoff plan that is now part of the NFL, Eric shares whether college football is ready to implement the same thing.
    Production: Anthony Vito.

Godfrey has lost the plot

I hope espn has hired this man because the playoff water carrying during the last month is absurd

Alex has good politics

I’m just in it for whenever he inserts them into the show. Don’t know much about cfb, just watch enough to know it’s dubs down forever.
