Buckeye Bombast with Belhaven & the Boy

That's right, the Big 12 has gone all Randy Parker with their overall disdain for the fineries of defense.  The only thing worse than a Big 12 defense is the ability of your hosts to make successful picks.  But hey! The sound quality is marginally better!

This could be like, you know, one of the best episodes ever?  Well,  we think its purty-good.  But the sound kinda blows.  So, we are going to lie a little bit....really just to put you in the right mind-set.  We went down to the deep south to put this one together and had to battle the elements.  That is why the sound is, as stated on Beavis and Butthead....Raw and V...

The boy and I commiserate over our deplorable predictions.  We also continue our bombast regarding the Big 10 leaving no room for error with their "triumphant" return to football.  As the incomparable Nacho Libre once said, "when you are a man, sometimes you wear stretchy pants...in your room.  Is for fun."

October 24 kinda feels like John's reluctant signing of the Magna Carta.  Alas! who are we to question to regal benevolence of the Big 10 administrators?!?

The wicked rumors....as I publish this there are mysterious Big 10 forces supposedly (no....not supposubly) preparing to meet in order to.....cast votes! This episode may have actually gone negative-budget if that's possible.  But we have faith you'll get over our poor decision on a make-shift recording space.  Besides, we brought in a bit of Monty Python for good measure. Enjoy!

This was recorded on Aug 29, 2020 just after the announcement that the Big 10 is considering a Thanksgiving start.  Oh Big 10!  You are so benevolent!  We, the unwashed masses, will consider our bounty as we bow in thanksgiving to your eminent wisdom!  Or.......not. Thanks to all the new listeners!  It is humbling and frightening to know there are so many out there who are...

In 2002, the boy and I went to see Ohio State take on Washington State.  Pre-game, outside the Schott, there was an inflatable goal-post.  I kicked a perfect field-goal through it.  Harbaugh has had his eye on me ever since.  He came over before the recording of this episode.  He wanted to see if I had any eligibility and......he wanted to spend the night....heard we were...

This episode was recorded just after the Big 10 announcement of the 10 game, conference-only schedule.  Will they really have the season?  Predictions for, you know, just in case.  Plus, how much of a complete tool is Jim Harbaugh?  Pure _ichigan.

Big 10 only schedule?  Will we really have College Football?

In the wake of the cancelation of March Madness and the realization that Spring football was done as well, this is a bombastic look at what might lie ahead.

This episode begins with the first portion of the Playoff Loss Reaction.  When we put that together in the week after the loss to Clemson, we discovered that much of the audio was corrupted.  We salvaged the first piece and have concatenated with our Pre-spring Podcast.  Although much time has elapsed, it is interesting to listen to these in the lead up to Covid and to where we are...

It's go time!  With the 1978 Gator Bowl playing in the background, the boy and I give our analysis on the playoff matchups and offer our predictions.

Merry Christmas!  You'll have to forgive the boy.  He is recovering from a cold and what not.  His voice is a bit off.  However, it doesn't stop him from giving his bowl confidence picks!  The boy and I are squaring off in our Bowl predictions.  You not only get our picks but you get to learn about the "SEC pivot"!

We agree that the Righteous Bucks got screwed out of #1.  I regale the boy with another epic SEC rant.  We discuss the merits (or lack thereof?) of Georgia at number 5.  And....are Clemson fans scared of their playoff matchup?  You bet!

The boy and I lay it all out with regard to the pre-conference championship playoff rankings.  We also do a quick dive to give our thoughts on each of the conference title matchups.

The traditional season comes to an end with a familiar bang.  The Boy and I give our thoughts on Ohio State's thorough beat-down of the lowly LOLverines.  We also cover a few of the other key matchups from the weekend and cast an eye to the Week 15 Playoff rankings.

The boy and I have descended upon the "forward-focused" metropolis of Kansas, Ohio for our first "in-person" broadcast.  We preview the big game between Ohio State and the wLOLverweenies.  We discuss our predicted outcomes as well as the potential aftermath for each team, should they lose.  

The boy and I make fun of the pathetic SEC (Bus Stop Bullies).  They have further bolstered there out of conference record by feasting on FCS teams....way to go SEC (eye roll)!  We also wax poetic about the outcomes of the week 13 games.

Although the righteous Bucks are ranked #1 in the latest poll, we still take issue with some inconsistencies in the Committee's list.  In addition, we give our thoughts on the "rivalry week" matchups.

In addition to our preview of the key week 13 matchups, the boy and I introduce the "Salieri" Trophy for the winner of the ACC Coastal Division.  And....How do Gary Patterson's trouser issues correlate to team performance?...AND....the SEC - The bus stop bullies.

Over a smooth Belhaven (or 3), the boy and I discuss the inconsistencies of the playoff committee.  We then discuss the upcoming game with Penn State and give our "analysis" and predictions.

The boy and I give our reactions to week 12 action and set the stage for the upcoming breakdown of the College Football Rankings.

The boy and I unload our bombastic wisdom on this week's key matchups.

Listen as we cover a data-driven analysis that illustrates the deficiencies in the Football ranking committee's latest rankings.  We argue that the committee fails at its base - that the SEC is the strongest conference in the 2019 season.  Our data shows that the SEC is actually the 3rd strongest of the Power 5 conferences.  By adjusting accordingly and using a point driven system t...

We get off to a grand, bombastic start by railing against the SEC with our illustration of why the Big Ten is the better conference.  We talk about the key matchups from the weekend and take a very brief look into the future matchups.
