This week’s episode of Not A Football Podcast is brought to you by Lane’s Secret. Add some Juice to your wardrobe with looks that will never leave you feeling like you’ve been fired and stranded at the airport. Turn your closet into a transfer portal to style. Lane's Secret
Why Do We Talk About Lane So Much?: It’s getting a little weird honestly. When are we going to stop talking about Lane? People are wondering.
Alabama Takes The Wheel: Georgia narrowly avoided an upset by unranked Missouri which puts Alabama a bit more firmly in the top spot. Does this really matter? Maybe?
The Curse of Kansas Being 5-0: Grace points out that Kansas is 5-0 for the first time since 2009. Coincidentally, the (OR NOT?) the last time the Yankees won the World Series. Some magic may be afoot, but for the sake of non-Yankees fans everywhere, I sure hope not.
Utilizing the Transfer Portal: Former Nebraska QB Adrian Martinez (22 years old) played at Nebraska for four years before transferring to Kansas State, who are now 4-1 overall and in second place in the Big 12. This is just one case that makes use of the transfer portal interesting as players have more agency in their college football journey. What responsibility do players and schools have in holding up their end of the deal?
Oklahoma is in Sad Town: Oklahoma is currently 3-2 overall and 0-2 in conference games. They may have a chance next weekend as they take on Texas, who are also 3-2 but 1-1 in conference games. No matter who wins, someone is going to be in Really Sad Town after that game.
Is UConn Good?: Okay, maybe UConn is not good, but they are maybe competent with a 2-4 overall record (2-1 at home). They are in fourth place out of the independents, right under Notre Dame. How the tables have turned!
Is Iowa a PsyOp? Is it Performance Art?: Britt asks what we are all wondering. What exactly is Iowa? Iowa lost to Michigan, 27-14, last weekend and will face Illinois next weekend, where we expect more of the same.
Nick Saban Hates Dogs, Otters, and Puppies: Please don’t sue us for libel and/or slander. This is theoretical, but it really makes you think, right?
Ohio State’s Boring Cult of Personality Thing: Urban Meyer, Jim Tressel, and Woody Hayes are just a few vile henchmen that are part of Ohio State’s continuous cult of personality. Britt hangs the title on this episode with a beautiful three-word phrase. If you listen to nothing else, tune in for that.
*dings dinner bell* IT’S BETTIN’ TIME: Pony up! This week we are betting on Kansas (vs. TCU), Tennessee (vs. LSU), Texas (vs. Oklahoma), and Purdue (vs. Maryland). Jesse shares that he has made money. I think he should give me a cut of that since I was super confident and bold about the Falcons winning against the Browns last week. The bankroll stands at $63.92.
Join us next week to see if Alabama stays in control, we prepare for Michigan (4) taking on Penn State (10), and LANE LANE LANE.
