PODCAST AIN’T PLAYED NOBODY: Baton Rouge needs your help

If you think PAPN is worth $5, or you want to see Godfrey in full Saints regalia, send some money/goods Baton Rouge’s way.

It was a given that this week’s PAPN would take on an SEC theme because Bill is almost done previewing the SEC (and all of college football!!!!!) this week. But before we get to any of that, let’s talk about the Louisiana floods. Baton Rouge has gotten hit really, really hard. Let’s help out.

Please consider helping out, even if it’s only a few bucks.

Once you’ve listened and considered that, here’s your regularly scheduled PAPN. Topics include...

  • Cord cutting (still hard to do!)
  • Power rankings (PAPN PRO-AAC BIAS!)
  • Ole Miss (always crazy!)
  • South Carolina (probably pretty bad!)
  • LSU (can’t develop quarterbacks!)
  • Big 12 expansion (if they don’t do it this time, Bob Bowlsby and David Boren aren’t allowed to speak in public ever again!)
  • Our everlasting hatred of ambition (Arkansas State should apply for the Big 12!)
  • 2016 vibes (not quite as many QB changes this year!)

And here’s this week’s Blind Box Score Bingo entry.
