This week’s PAPN is even more grab-baggy than normal.

The topics:

  • South Carolina as ACC basketball school
  • Young, loud coaches and old coaches as no-personality hockey players
  • Moving on after P.J. Fleck
  • The MAC needs a heavy dose of WWE (~23:30)
  • The Las Vegas Raiders, the Nevada-UNLV rivalry, and why Bill hates Jay Norvell (~28:30)
  • Will Temple win with Geoff Collins?
  • When will Miami beat Florida State? (~42:00)
  • Penalties of aggression creating procedural penalties
  • TWITTER QUESTIONS (~50:30)! The best multi-OT Arkansas game, disappearing positions, the assistant coaching carousel, incorrect sources, Army’s ceiling, loading up on graduate transfers, Mike Riley’s legacy in 10 years, and the “I can get you to the NFL” card.
  • Texas Football in the 2000s — the trickiness of the Texas job, Mack Brown’s heyday, Roy Williams (OU version), and the “wish we had Twitter” moment
  • Pick your 15-minute segment! Let’s hear some pitches!
