Podcast Ain't Played Nobody

Repurposed old baseball stadiums, paranoid coaches, chips on shoulders, the overdone Bad SEC QBs meme, and the ultimate Georgia anxiety scenario.

A look back at the nutty, spectacular French Revolution that was the 2007 college football season.

Hugh Freeze didn't exactly disprove the "The louder you scream about being pious, the more you've got something to hide" theory in Oxford. Also: coaching search lists and FSU's psychological ownership of Miami.

SB Nation's Matt Brown joins PAPN to discuss his new book (What If?), historic conference realignment scenarios, college football parity, and the ACC's fluctuating middle class.

PAPN is back, and just in time to tackle SEC Media Days, lazy NY Times writers, Florida-LSU, fun teams, making friends with Michigan fans, Big Ten power rankings, and Bronco Mendenhall.

Local teams vs. local media, BIG TEN PREVIEW TIME (the tricky Illinois job, Michigan State's youth movement, Michigan's quickly-rising bar, Wisconsin's odd defensive coordinator hire), and reader questions (Mike Gundy's got tenure!).

Ole Miss is not done fighting the NCAA (or Mississippi State), Bob Stoops' first few years of big-game performances were amazing, Bo Pelini to Kent State and Mike Stoops to Youngstown State, USC vs. Washington, Boise State's CFP path, and parachute payments.

Athlon managing editor Mitch Light joins Bill and Godfrey to talk about early publishing dates, fact checkers, USC vs. Washington, life as a sideline reporter, and the 50 best players of the last 50 years.

This week's PAPN goes deep on UCLA, Cal, traffic in LA, Mississippians in wine country, the expiring stigma of the 4-2-5, Bill's socialist college football plea, and the AAC's short- and long-term goals.

Godfrey's back, and we're diving head-first into the Big 12 pool -- WVU's impending disappointment, KSU's post-Snyder future, and Texas' lone chance to play underdog.

Bill and Bud Elliott discuss potential improvements for college football recruiting and review Bill's platform as he mounts a bid for college football commissioner (https://www.sbnation.com/a/college-football-commissioner). You know, the normal offseason stuff.

Miami defensive coordinator Manny Diaz serves as guest host and talks "what" vs. "how," FCS preseason games, influential defensive coaches, the benefits of havoc, analysts with bunsen burners, and stopping the run-pass option.

Bill and guest host Steven Gaither discuss all things HBCU football: the best rivalries, dancing moms, the Celebration Bowl, graduate transfers, ceilings, floors, Division I vs. II, Grambling's resurgence, and our knowledge-free president.

Today's PAPN topics: Oklahoma's Big 12 unhappiness, realignment in an era of cord cutting, Memphis as AAC king, Hulu's news, and the blatant hypocrisy of complaining about players sitting out bowls.

On ESPN layoffs (and the focus of them), Year 0 mulligans, turnover in the Bear Raid, Steve Spurrier as formative football experience, why Florida doesn't leave the state, Larry Coker, and shut up, Missouri's quite happy in the SEC.
