Nobody likes you when you're 23.But when you turn 33, and enter your Jesus year, the world is your oyster, brother.As Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) becomes clearer than Larry Bird in Space Jam, John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) helped him make sense of all the nonsense they did to entertain themselves in the first week of May in college football.From college football rev share, to putting Shedeur Sanders on a team, bruh, they've got you scattered, smothered and covered, man. If you loved The Sleevies, get ready for The Freshman 15, some Just Like Novocaine with blink-182 and an extra special surprise...They don't own the rights to 30 for 30, so 32 for 33 seemed like a fair way to go. Who knew that Buhler was an aspiring graphic designer? Who knew Cody was a noted art critic? False Start, Episode 72 was as off-the-rails as you could have ever imagined.
Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are the lightning rod in a hurricane of the college football offseason and the transfer portal, with the social media receipts to prove it. Meanwhile, former Florida State and now-Bills receiver Keon Coleman is blaming... checks notes... Georgia (?) for the Seminoles' hapless plight in the CFP. Plus, the spring transfer portal window in college football is hard to figure out, Matt Rhule is singing on stage at concerts and vibes are high for Nebraska, and then we break down betting on Dave and Busters games along with some evaluations of things we've learned and things we refuse to learn. Spoiler: It's more than just math for the latter!John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) are deep into the college football offseason and may not even see the rails to be on at this point.
We could stomach one last slice of pumpkin pie.While Mel Kiper Jr. can never get his fill of pumpkin pie filling for breakfast, the guys tied a bow on what was an eventful 2024 NFL Draft for everyone involved.In a shocking twist of fate, Nick Saban got to see one of his kickers get drafted while devouring his second of two oatmeal creme pies for breakfast, or an afternoon snack in this case.In between shoveling shepherd's pie down their gullets, Dubliners need to have the Busch Light ready for Farmageddon in 2025. Kansas State and Iowa State will drink that town dry ahead of their Week 0 kickoff game in two years.John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) were more America than baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet on the 70th episode of False Start. It has been a long draft season, and the boys need a nap badly.
The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is now in the books and we're breaking down the our favorite picks in the Top 32 along with our head-scratchers and a whole category of its own going to Buhler's Atlanta Falcons leaving everyone shocked and appalled by picking Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8. Plus, Jaden Rashada portaled to Athens as the Georgia QB in waiting. Then we're joined by the great Adam Weinrib to talk NFL Draft memories, Antonio's Spring Break, and our college football connections to the catalogue of Sublime. Love is what we got!John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) are joined by Adam Weinrib (MLB Director, FanSided) for a NICE episode of False Start. Maybe the nicest yet!
A promise is a promise.Jim Harbaugh is a man of his word, and got the cheapest Michigan 15-0 championship tattoo $110 can buy. He may be a champion, but Jerry Kill has better arm ink, bruh.Deion Sanders is getting lapped by Joey McGuire in the Big 12 recruiting race. The man won't leave Boulder, resulting in his sons to recruit players over social media in the transfer portal.As Kadyn Proctor walks back to Alabama with his tail between his legs, we wonder where guys like Jaden Rashada, Damien Martinez and Cormani McClain will transfer to.Plus, Arch Manning's Texas spring game has people losing their minds. Take a chill pill.John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) read and react to all the madness the college football world provided them in the latter part of April.
You've been served, Michigan!The attention you ordered was a grease-soaked bag of hamburgers carrying a three-year probationary period. Just wait until the monkey's out of the bottle with regards to the sign-stealing scandal.Pandora doesn't go back in the box, Coach Prime. He only comes out! More and more players are getting out of Dodge in Boulder like somebody pulled the plug on the groovy tunes, man, at a South Park Music Festival.What do you mean, the battery's dead, Mario Cristobal? For over $22 million in '22, you'd think we'd get more than five wins out of the Miami head coach. Talk radio and not taking knees will put multiple full-grown men to sleep in the woods somewhere.John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) successfully avoided the heat-seeking missiles, foxes, bloodhounds and barracudas that got the best of Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) out there in the Santa Fe desert. No, Yams did not get run over by a Daewoo, so he will be back on the program for Monday's show. Enjoy Buhler doing his best Dale Denton and Jeff Goldblum impressions as he rocks onto Electric Avenue in this Pineapple Express/4-20 episode of some False Start!
The Spring Transfer Portal window is open in college football, and Kalen DeBoer has to have Alabama working the lines in the worst way for the Crimson Tide to compete atop the SEC. And in the Big Ten, Ryan Day thinks Ohio State is closer to glory than they've actually been -- maybe he's just making excuses?Plus, the SEC lied to Texas A&M and little brother is not happy, might Yell Practice about it. Ole Miss had Joey Chestnut and mountains of hot dogs at the spring game, which might be the new blueprint for CFB. We also recap our spring break with Antonio Banderas and take a trip on Route 66 with the vibes for every program along the road. John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) aren't taking spring breaks unless Antonio is there and are here to navigate your college football offseason.
Hello, friends. And welcome to an episode unlike any other. It's Masters week, so we're comparing the favorites at Augusta to college football programs. We also dive into the spring transfer window, which already has drama with USC DL Bear Alexander and Oregon State RB Damien Martinez.Plus, big updates out of spring practice for LSU with the secondary, and bigger updates from Ohio State about the QB battle with Will Howard and Julian Sayin. And don't forget about Caleb Williams, because the hackers and Greg McElroy sure haven't!Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) flies solo and gives the college football goods we need in mid-April.
Are you buying what Drake Maye is selling?Maye may be Cody Williams' guy but he is one of the most polarizing quarterbacks prospects in this draft. John Buhler may not love the guy, but he's certainly no Merril Hoge.While Caitlin Clark was the best thing to ever happen to Iowa Hawkeyes' women's basketball, Brian Ferentz was the worst thing to ever happen on the gridiron at Kinnick.And not to be outdone, John Calipari leaves Kentucky for Arkansas like he is Jimbo Fisher or something.Episode 64 of False Start was a wild one. John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) touched on those three subjects, as well as very important Nintendo 64 things, a brief dive into The Beatles' song catalogue and who could ever forget about Spring Break with Antonio Banderas?!
The College Football Super League has a proposal and it's... way better than you're probably thinking. And hey, maybe that will get Washington State back into the forefront of CFB! Braulio Perez, our guest for the week, sure hopes so. Plus, DJ Burns might somehow be a legitimate NFL Draft prospect as a basketball player, Bo Nix ain't about this SEC life, Little Giants is the peak of cinema, and the New York Giants are a turning point for the 2024 draft. John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) are joined by the legend Braulio Perez (Senior Editor, GMenHQ.com) and break down a wild offseason week in college football and much more.
Chris Low knows all the right people in all the right places.The noted ESPN college football writer got an exclusive Q&A with Georgia head coach Kirby Smart. It is certainly worth the read, as it is dissecting all the breadcrumbs he left.Michael Penix Jr. had a great Pro Day at Washington. While he should be a first-round pick, not everyone is the biggest fan of his game. His draft status is certainly polarizing.Also, we have arrived at the Final Four of Buhler's March Madness bracket. It was something, alright. Not sure if we are better for it, but the exercise was definitely a time.John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) flew solo on this one, as Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) got his teeth cleaned or something. He may have descended into madness after North Carolina lost to Alabama in the Sweet 16. We can only hope he found our good friend Antonio somewhere outside of Park City, Utah on the way down.
Nick Saban is retired from Alabama, but not from figuring out how to be a human being thanks to the Ten Commandments of Ms. Terry, including how to send an email. Meanwhile, another former college coach and national champion, Jim Harbaugh, is starting his Chargers career living in an RV with Greg Roman. Because of course he is. Plus, the J.J. McCarthy hype train is getting out of control, even for two guys who think he's better than most. Does the expanded College Football Playoff ever have the chance to rival the excitement of March Madness? Ohio State had flashbacks thanks to an NIT game against Georgia. And we celebrate Opening Day by going totally off the rails (and with some Hot Ice). John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) are loving the gifts that the college football offseason is giving and are here to guide you through it all.
Why "pull an Eli" when you can do it twice?That might be the ace (or two) Deion Sanders has up his sleeve regarding his son Shedeur Sanders and fellow Colorado football star Travis Hunter's NFL futures. Eli Manning's NFL legacy is complicated, but Coach Prime reads from the Book of Eli.Bad things always come in threes, as Georgia had a no good, very bad weekend on the college football front. Does Kirby Smart have a culture problem or is it something else?Plus, John Calipari looked exceptionally Jimbo Fisher during March Madness. Is he the college basketball equivalent of the fast-talking former snake oil salesman of Texas A&M?Also, the boys continued their Spring Break with Antonio by venturing to Provo, Utah.John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) covered all that and then some on the 60th episode of False Start. We are so far in the weeds of the offseason that it is totally awesome, brother. Enjoy!
Kadyn Proctor is heading back to Alabama after spending mere months back in the corn of Iowa, which is forecasting a potentially insane spring transfer portal window. And Kalen DeBoer is earning the bag getting Proctor back as Bama's $10 million man. Plus, J.T. Daniels is college football's Van Wilder and won't leave the sport, Troy Dannen only spent 5 months in Washington before leaving to be the Nebraska AD, Clemson is joining Florida State in giving the ACC a middle finger, and we enjoy some Nickelback like any good American should. John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) are off the rails as we get deeper in the college football offseason.
There is only one way to fill out a March Madness bracket.While Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) is a college basketball savant, having grown up in North Carolina and all, John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) is an absolute stooge buffoon with these sort of shooty hoops shenanigans.Because they are ... them, the guys decided to fill out a March Madness bracket, based strictly on their college football knowledge. The results were as surprising as they were comical.Plus, the CFP has a new deal in the works with ESPN.Also, the program ended with two Guys Rememberin' Dudes.These Diaper Dandies are all grown up now, but do they have the Onions or the Big Tickers necessary to cut down the nets for their One Shining Moment? The guys had a blast doing this one. Hope you enjoy it!
Nick Saban talked NIL and the future of college football on Capitol Hill, but the Alabama legend didn't bat 1.000 in his takes in front of Congress. And in the future, the College Football Playoff will expand again, this time to 14 teams, which could quite drastically change the sport's postseason. Plus, Trev Alberts is leaving his alma mater at Nebraska to become the new Texas A&M AD -- Good Bull or not? Sherrone Moore poaches an Ohio State position coach, Antonio Banderas is ready for Spring Break and Spring Games, and which CFB coaches are clearly huge Parrotheads?John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) give you the offseason goods for college football.
Greg Byrne wants everyone to know that Alabama hiring Kalen DeBoer was so good.The fact he is overselling us on the former Washington head coach leads us to believe that he could be set up to underdeliver. We wonder what is to come for the Alabama program.With Drew Pyne transferring to Missouri, he could be the quarterback of the future in CoMo with a staggering three years of eligibility left.The guys celebrate 3/11 Day as any crunchy dude from a certain generation would do.John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) had a blast recording this one during the heart of the college football offseason.
Texas backup QB Arch Manning doesn't want distractions like being in EA College Football 25 and getting $600. How in the world did the Manning camp think this was a good idea? We also break down On3's Andy Staples proposal for a 48-team College Football Super League with our likes, dislikes, and overall vibes. Plus, Zach Arnett flips sides in the Egg Bowl, Ohio State QB Devin Brown will take your lunch money if you tell him to hit the transfer portal, Texas A&M should be disavowed for their crimes against peppers, and which CFB coaches are the best and worst riding mates for a road trip?John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) break down the biggest news in college football and get off the rails with peak offseason CFB debates.
So the NFL Scouting Combine happened...As expected, Texas WR Xavier Worthy was fast and his DL teammate T'Vondre Sweat tipped the scales. But what wasn't expected was UGA WR Ladd McConkey looking more like Garrett Wilson than Hunter Renfrow ever wish he could.Also, Amarius Mims looked like a Greek god spitting gospel to us mortal peasants about how his non-titanium ankle changed the game for the worse last season.Plus, the guys decided to honor Barry Odom's valiant effort to ride the bull better known as Widowmaker by giving some of their favorite CFB head coaches with some Top Gun call signs because why not?John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) had the task of delivering y'all some extra sweet and delicious audio content while enjoying some metaphorical Mel Kiper Jr. pumpkin pie.
