From Texas to Tennessee: Power Plays and Pigskin Politics: A Conversation With Ian Boyd
Description
This week on Across The Pond College Football, Gareth and Tony are joined by a special guest - Ian Boyd, the mind behind America's War Game, a substack exploring football’s strategies and its deeper cultural roots. Ian also covers the Texas Longhorns for Inside Texas on the On3 network and is the author of "Flyover Football: How the Big 12 became the frontier for modern football."
Together, they dig into Ian’s background, the shifting fortunes of Texas and Oklahoma, and the concept of “Neander-ball.” Is Tennessee’s Nico Iamaleava caught in a deeper power struggle? Ian weighs in.
Plus, a fascinating detour into Albion’s Seed and how America's founding cultures still echo through today’s college football landscape. Predictions, provocations, and a proper football chat—not one to miss!
