Whiskers & Whiskeys

Do you hate a state so much that you would rather die than let a doctor from that state save your life? Then this is the rivalry for you! Most rivalries think they are heated but most don't have Civil War veterans representing both sides of the war on opposing sidelines. Nicknamed the Border War, this rivalry extends beyond football and the W&W beat the drum ;) and implore everyone to ignore these two schools mediocre football histories and come learn about one of the most historic and heated rivalries we've covered to date. Cheers!

Last episode of the regular season, and the boys went out in style. Not sure if it was because of the holiday silly season or the anticipation of Auburn getting their butts whooped yet again, but we were busting up laughing from the jump. Come have a laugh with us for the last episode of the regular season, but stick around for we're far from done for the year. Enjoy the turkey and rivalry week, boys & girls. Cheers.

Passing Fancy. Gotcha Twice. Immaculate Deflection. Back to Campus. The Stand. The Pick & The Kick. Number 100. The Comeback. The Egg Brawl. The Piss, The Miss, & The Double Dismiss. With this many notable names, you know this rivalry is one for the ages. Join the W&W Boys and recurring guest Nathan as we talk about the Egg Bowl.

This trophy is definitely one of the most popular and prominent in the SEC - and for good reason. It wouldn't be a stretch to call this the gold standard, and it's creator is the mind behind many other awesome trophies (including one we already reviewed this season). Come with me, my fuzzy little man peach - pour yourself a little Bailey's and drink it out of a shoe as you learn about the boot. I'm Old Greeeeeeegggggg!!!

Yess, things move a little bit slower down in South Carolina, but the hatred still runs deep and burns hot. These two fan bases have hated each other before Clemson was even a school! Come hang with us and learn about the crown jewel of the Palmetto Series that's hotly contested between South Carolina and Clemson.

This is the second episode this season wherein the powers that be take a stand against consuming mass quantities and engaging in excessive revelry, but the W&W boys won't have it. It's still the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party to us, damnit. And the boys celebrate with a power rankings of tailgating essentials. But we can't be too hard on the folks from Florida & Georgia - with the name change also came a PHENOMENAL trophy. Could this be a contender for the Szn 2 champ? Tune in and find out!

If at first you don't succeed, try again - and then try one more time. That's what the good folks of Oxford and Baton Rogue say, because buddy, the first couple tries at the Magnolia Bowl trophy died on the vine. The current iteration? See it in full bloom this Saturday, and catch this episode beforehand. Oh, and, uh, Mike talks about the third Saturday in October.

Whiskey Joe and Nick Doyle are back as we talk about THE college football rivalry that defined the 90s hailing from the sunshine state. We talk citrus fruits, crab legs, sketchy coaches and the sketchy players who played for them, and craziest Florida Man headlines. We also get side tracked talking stadiums and hockey but ultimately circle back to an awesome trophy to match an awesome rivalry. It's Seminoles fighting Gators a true battle for dominance in the sunshine state. Cheers!

There's something about these rivalries that go back to the turn of the century, with the roots that run deep as an oak and loathing passed down from generation to generation. Rivalries mean more when they're built on decades of hate that burns hotter than a thousand suns, and they sure down get much older than this. Pair it with a nice cocktail with equal parts history, and MWAH *chef's kiss*

We always love when we get an alum to join us for their perspective on a rivalry, and our pal Jimmy did not disappoint. The hate is real between the Cards and the Cats - and please believe it starts well before basketball season tips off. This is a long one, so grab a mint julep of your own (add some brandy if you want to be like ol Teddy) and come hear the tale of the Governors Cup.

An age-old rivalry from a bygone conference renewed in the House That Jerry Built. WOO PIG SOOOOOOOOIE vs Midnight Yell (not a cult, btw)! This year's matchup is a bit more high-profile than previous iterations, but don't be fooled - no matter where these team rank, they always show up for the Southwest Classic.

Battle Lines have been drawn - or rather, etched out of solid steel - in the rivalry between the Tigers and the Razorbacks! This is a trophy we knew very little about, but we agree absolutely needs more eyes on it. 

Wrapping up the last bit of Hard Knocks and the first bit of the NFL season. Thanks for joining us for OTAs, folks. You all showed true toughness and grit - and you're ready for this football season!

I know what you're thinking - no, we're not talking about a weekend in the Sigma Chi house. We're talking a rivalry built on tasty chicken, country music, and some of the best whiskey on God's green earth. 

Folks, not much better than watching some college football while talking NFL. We had the Backyard Brawl on in the background while breaking down this week's episode. EJ ended up having technical difficulties at the end, so Joe and Mikey went rogue - stay tuned at the end for the debut of our new segment: ROTW

Season 2 of Tales of the Trophies is officially underway. This season, we dig into the SEC, and we start the essence of any true rivalry - hate. Clean, old fashioned hate. EJ's got some new segments for the fellas, and we've got an updated trophy ranking system. Football is back. Tales of the Trophies is back. Hearts and glasses are full. Cheers boys.

The whole crew is together for the first time in a long time for E3. Stay tuned for some HUGE announcements at the end of the episode...

Whiskey Joe is back as we breakdown our review of  Episode 2 of Hard Knocks. Come join us down memory lane as we talk about own childhood fandom,  Hockenson's and Jim Harbaugh's locker room antics, Mr. Universe, and create a tracker for the rest of the series. Cheers!

Folks, much like a Choco Taco or a Bomb Pop, this episode is an absolutely delightful summertime treat. We recorded on a Friday and EJ didn't have a script to read, so the whiskey was able to flow freely. If you've never checked one of our episodes on YouTube before, this is the one. Not only will you get to catch a look at our dope new hats, but you'll also have a handy visual aid for our first ever DRAFT. EJ and Mike do their own conference realignment, creating two superconferences - and a possible peek into the future for college football??? Be sure to watch/listen and then check out @whiskers.whiskeys on Instagram later this week to vote on the winner!
