It's happening! Washington knocks off the playcalling genius and master of deception Steve Sarkisian and Texas to advance to the National Championship game vs Michigan! As the late Pup would said, "Holy fuckall!"

    I'm really fucking annoyed that Google is killing their podcast app.

    I’m not sure truer words have been said on the pod than when Woolley said being a college football fan is all about finding the measuring stick that works for you.

    Listening while at the bath house. 2 incredibly good points made early on

    1 - Blue chip ratio <<<<< your best 11 players. Who gives a fuck if Texas's 3rd string LB is a 5 star and ours is a walk on.

    2 - The comment on how well this staff has done with the talent they have. Every player is playing to their absolute highest potential. Reminds me of Chip Kelly's best teams where you had guys like Jeff Maehl making acrobatic catches in the end zone and 2-star linemen like Nick Reed playing at all-american levels. Gives me a ton of hope for the future.</p>

    1. Matters during the regular season when injuries happen. We? Definitely struggled because of this but managed to get through. Call it luck, fate, or determination but 1 more critical injury could have meant 1 loss and an Orange Bowel. Teams with tons of talent deal with attrition better.

    Lucky for us? We made it and had a month to get healthy. Still may matter with DJ.

    With the TP the era of stacking REAL talent 3 deep is probably dead.
    Injuries popped into my head. It was one of the worst seasons ever for dinged up injuries - whatever happened to Penix, Rome's ribs, the flu or whatever the fuck it was, Tuli, McMillan, DJ's foot, the safety situation, but other than basically McMillan the no one lost for the season thing is great for the second year in a row.

    It's hard for me to get excited about HS recruiting as much. It's still fun and despite me having reservations about the Wild Wild West nature of NIL I think it's made it possible for cellar dwellers to hustle their way out of the bottom. We were 4-8 two seasons ago and we're a freaking good game away from winning the Natty. Crazy times.

    I think successful HC are going to focus on maintaining relations with the kids for that Portal lifeline. If Rainey-Sales commits to FSU and decides he hates huge southern cockroaches you make it easy for him to land back at home.

    I agree with @WoolleyDoog in that you need about 4-6 studs on each side of the ball and technically sound players to fill the gaps and a good HC will find a way to win.

    Somehow, no. I’ve listened to pretty much every pod this year too.

    We probably haven't bantered about that since maybe 2021

    2021 was a lost season for me. I pretty much tuned out after we lost to Montana. Definitely didn’t listen to any pods that year

    So am I.

    What are you switching too? I've been using pocket casts and it seems pretty good. have to pay for premium for it to work in a browser though, which is annoying.

    Spotify. I don't think any of my subscriptions aren't on there.

    Glaring pod omission, any greased level report. Record another.

    Same as the Alamo Bowl last year I actually liked playing a team that didn't seem greased up. Texas takes everyone's best shot every week so they're not some loser team like the Pac-12 dregs whose Super Bowl is beating Washington. Oddly, Oregon didn't feel greased up in the rematch either.
