PODCAST AIN’T PLAYED NOBODY: Don’t fall in love with a dreamer

The 17th episode of PAPN covered acres of ground. Acres. A sample:

  • Is Navy’s winning streak over Army bad for the rivalry? Do we care who wins?
  • DON’T OVERREACT TO BOWL RESULTS.
  • The Celebration Bowl should be a lot of fun.
  • Is Arizona going to play actual, engaged football in Albuquerque?
  • BYU-Utah’s going to be U-G-L-Y.
  • Is it possible for Appalachian State to be disappointing at 10-2? Probably not?
  • Good for Georgia State, man.
  • Seriously, Louisiana Tech-Arkansas State is going to be fun. And drunk.Lots of hidden story lines for WKU-USF.

READER QUESTIONS:

  • How angry are we at ECU?
  • Here’s how you hire assistants:
  • YOU WOULD TOTALLY WATCH AN NIT OF 5-WIN TEAMS (eight teams, 30-minute games, quarterfinals and semis in the same day, Nebraska and ECU in the finals).
  • What’s worse: missing out on QB recruits or missing out on assistants when building a staff?
  • Maryland threw the most catchable INTs of all-time this year.
  • Who are we rooting for in the FCS semis?
  • Don’t accept Godfrey’s embed requests. You’ll lose.
  • Don’t fall in love with a dreamer.

Songs sung by two members of the Highwaymen don’t count as duets, right?
