It’s September 28, the phones won’t stop ringing, the dogs won’t stop barking, and we’re already well into coaching search silly season. Good times.

Today’s PAPN breaks down...

  • Silly season starts earlier, and gets grosser, every year.
  • Forget Ed Orgeron, Permanent Interim Head Coach ... we want Steve Spurrier, Permanent Interim Offensive Coordinator.
  • Cord cutting, over-the-air DVR, and the Pac-12’s ... successful long game?
  • What does the Big Ten and SEC making a ton more TV money actually mean?
  • Buy PAPN air time! NC State did!
  • Your weekly reminder: Divisions are stupid. Pods for life.
  • Steven Godfrey’s Michael Caine impression
  • Now prove it again, Tennessee
  • Minnesota’s an upset away from a Big Ten West run
  • Baylor! OSU! Box Score Bingo!
