PODCAST AIN’T PLAYED NOBODY: Hawaii to the Pac-12! and other dreams

In which we finally establish who are the Nirvana, Germs, and Pixies of college football. (WARNING: This podcast features heavy doses of Wyoming, Hawaii, and Illinois football. Approach with caution.)

In the 30th! edition of Podcast Ain’t Played Nobody, Bill & Godfrey decide to commemorate the occasion by recording with awful audio quality. It was the only way*. We also covered the following topics.

  • Cormac McCarthy college football
  • Great hires to make you good and good hires to make you great
  • Hawaii to the Pac-12! and scheduling conundrums
  • A coaching job that shows you the world
  • Who are the Nirvana, Germs, and Pixies of college football?
  • Illinois’ Lovie Smith hire and message board fanfic
  • Who’s in the Big Ten’s middle class?
  • The viability (or lack thereof) of a MST conference
  • That time Bobby Petrino and Michael Vick almost changed professional football
  • The Sloan Conference
  • Heat maps
  • Stats that can’t measure heart

* Okay, fine, it wasn’t intentional. Our recently adopted method of recording failed, and we had to go back to the old, shitty method. One day, we will get our act together.
