  • 4-year olds at football games
  • HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT: Tell us your best spring game memory
  • AN ANNUAL BRONCO VS. FUENTE BRAWL
  • The death of (interesting) noon kickoffs
  • Improving game experience by ... turning it into a staying-at-home experience
  • BREAKING: BILL AND GODFREY BICKER ABOUT BOBBY PETRINO (27:30)
  • LAST WEEK’S HOMEWORK: Here are the absolute worst full college football games on YouTube
  • Replacing a solid quarterback with your freshman son
  • Why isn’t Kentucky good?
  • USF vs. Florida State and the AAC
  • We all have a jam band phase in college.
  • The WAC lives on in our hearts

Enjoy.

And in case you need some musical accompaniment...
