The Carla and Crappy Show

Then there was one. Just one lone game remains on the college football schedule for the 2025 season. Yet somehow, yes, we still manage to talk for more than an hour. Welcome to the final Carla and Crappy Show of Season 14. We begin by discussing our player and coach of the year picks (and there are a lot of good candidates!). Then, as promised, we take a look back at just how wrong we were in our...

The end is near, friends … unless you’re the Sugar Bowl, that is, and then you’ll have one second left for three plays and two stage moves. But as bowl season has now come to a close, there are just three FBS games remaining on the college football calendar. And in a year where we’ve rooted for chaos, we’ve gotten just that. Of the four remaining teams in the CFP, two have never won a national tit...

We’re in that glorious stretch between holidays where no one knows what day it is, there’s college football on at 2 p.m. on a weekday, and Pop-Tarts are seemingly everywhere. Welcome to a slightly chaotic CFP quarterfinal edition of the Carla and Crappy Show. Before we get to the four games on the agenda, AJ catches us up on Michigan’s coaching hire, and we dive into our highlights so far of bowl...

Every Carla & Crappy Show fan liked Bowlapalooza a lot. But the Grinch, who lived somewhere up north, for some reason did NOT! The Grinch hated Bowlapalooza! The whole freaking Bowl season! Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason. We were joined by Braden Gall and Jake Rose, the regular crew; Also, Kelly Krieg and Avocado … and Dylan Simmons, who was new. The conversation was...

College football bowl season is in full swing. The holidays are just around the corner. What more could we ask for? How about playoffs? (Playoffs?) Yep, it’s time. Welcome to the CFP First Round edition of the Carla and Crappy Show. Before we get into our prognostication, we must take yet another spin on the coaching carousel, which took a funny … then absolutely not funny at all … spin over the p...

Well, friends, we’re here. After 14 weeks of chaos, there are just nine games standing between us and the college football postseason … and potentially even more chaos. But we’ll get to that in a moment. Before we dive into all of the title games happening this weekend, we take a spin on the coaching carousel, including Lane’s grand exit to Baton Rouge, a Mormon cookie caper, and UCLA’s shrewd mov...

We did it. The final week of the FBS schedule. And after all the chaos of the regular season, it’s still about as clear as mud. FCS, D2, and D3 begin their playoffs, while FBS wraps up their regular season with WIVALWY WEEK. Next week is Champinchip Week, and there are so many scenarios still in play (except for Western Michigan. They punched their ticket to the MAC Championship mid-recording), an...

As the college football regular season begins to wind down, it’s tempting to look ahead to the ridiculously amazing uniforms for the Army-Navy Game, the six (SIX!) edible mascots for the Pop-Tarts Bowl, and what is bound to be chaos in the coaching carousel. But not yet, friends. We still have work to do. Because in Week 13, the Carla and Crappy Show will once again be sitting in as the celebrity...

It’s Week 12 of the college football season, friends, and we have a confession to make. Despite being a Pittsburgh-centric podcast, we don’t often talk about Pitt football. But this week? We have to talk about Pitt football. Prepare your kids accordingly. Before we get to that important conversation, though, we look back at what ended up being a weekend of season-defining drives. Four teams had th...

Ohio University has an official spray tan sponsor. We thought Wisconsin led the nation in stadium beer sales. (A correction was issued the day after we recorded this episode, and it’s actually Nebraska. Also not surprising.) Oh, and Highland Cows are soft. And those, friends, are just the first of what is a show full of crucial college football insights as we’re all incredibly distracted in Week 1...

It’s Week 10 of the college football season, and we’re not giddy just because New England College picked up its first win in 51 YEARS last weekend. Nor are we giddy simply because MACtion is back(tion) next week. But friends, it’s officially November Football season. And if that doesn’t bring a smile to your face, we’re not sure what will. Welcome to the Carla and Crappy Show. Before we get ahead...

It’s Week 9 of the college football season, and for the first time in nearly a month, the gang’s all here. To celebrate, we go completely off the rails. (Dordt!) It’s good to be back, friends. We begin by analyzing the curious case of Billy Napier and the Florida Gators, and transition into our recap of what was a crazy weekend of football. Stanford won and North Carolina lost in the most ridiculo...

It’s Week 8 of the College Football season. AJ and Crappy are off on Fall Break, but as we all know, there are no breaks in college football. So Carla is here holding down the fort and attempting to keep her emotions in check after an eventful weekend in Not-So-Happy Valley. Joining her as guest co-host is Dylan Simmons, former anchor and now graduate assistant with MTN Sports and Blue Raider Extr...

Welcome to Week 7 of the Carla and Crappy Show, where Carla has given up on college football in favor of hockey, and Crappy’s out sick. Is AJ our only hope? (Well, yeah, but if you’ve been around here for a while, you knew that already.) After AJ regains Carla’s focus, we recap last weekend’s action, including a bunch of games that were much closer than their final scores indicated, and the disast...

Alabama absolutely must beat Vanderbilt, or Kalen DeBoer will feel the temperature rising again. Bill Belichick could put Dabo on the hot seat this week. Virginia is nationally ranked and appears to be a legit contender in the ACC. Crappy has abandoned college football for a few days to be a baseball fan. And those are just a small handful of the abundance of weird sentences that we utter in the W...

After five weeks of the college football season, we find ourselves firmly unified around one question: What in the name of Mike Gundy is going on? Thus, friends, we begin the Mystery Grab Bag edition of the Carla and Crappy Show. Welcome to the chaos. AJ is back and joins Carla and Crappy live as we recap last week and discuss the latest breaking news, including the aforementioned Gundy. How did i...

Last week, we all needed channel guides, streaming passwords, multiple devices, and apps for a weekend of college football watching. This week? Just grab a dictionary. Welcome to Week 4, friends, where Carla and Crappy have decided it’s time to start defining some key terms. College Kickers: The most unpredictable aspect of college football. Just ask Tennessee and Notre Dame. Cool Under Fire: The...

It’s Week 3 of the college football season, which means it’s time to start answering some important questions. Is USF for real, like really? Can Florida recover? Is Notre Dame a national contender? What about LSU? But the most important question for this week might actually be this: That game’s on what channel? Yes, friends, this week brings us more restored rivalries, obscure broadcast locations,...

Well, friends, we survived Week 1 … unless you’re North Carolina, that is. And what a weekend it was. Florida State put a giant exclamation point on the scoreboard over Alabama. Boise seemingly collapsed under the weight of … USF? And we’re not entirely sure, but Tennessee and Syracuse may still be playing. And despite all of that … and how really wrong we really were on a lot of things … Carla, C...

No more appetizers, friends. It’s time for the full college football buffet. And if last weekend’s opener in Ireland is any indication, the Big 12 is going to be mighty tasty this season. Welcome to the officially official kickoff weekend of the 2025 season … and yes, five (FIVE!) straight days of college football. That’s not to say that Week 0 was meaningless. In fact, the exact opposite is true....

The sounds of snare drums and whistles echoing across college campuses can only mean one thing: It’s time, friends. The best sport in the entire world … and our moment of joy … is back. Welcome to the 14th season of the Carla and Crappy Show. The gang’s all here for our extended season preview episode. Carla, Crappy and AJ begin by recapping our offseasons and answering questions about Mannings an...

Well, friends, here we are again. There’s just one final game remaining in the college football season, which means that this is the final show of the 13th season of this here little pod. One of us is still feeling the agony of defeat in the semifinals. One of us is feeling anxious over the chance of winning a national title. And one of us is in a hotel room already excited about Week 0 next seaso...

A new year is upon us, and as this new era of college football continues, there are many important questions still to be answered. How rich can the lore and canon of the Pop-Tarts Bowl truly become? What happened to Alabama? How good is the Big Ten? (We’re looking you squarely in the eyes, SEC.) And, most importantly, is it a valid marriage if a Cheez-It officiates the wedding? Yes, we’re being ju...

We’ve reached the time of the year when, as the meme suggests , “we don’t know what day it is, what we should be doing, and we’re full of cheese.” While that list is nearly perfect, it doesn’t include that you can turn on your TV at almost any time and find a college football bowl game to watch.   Hi, friends. We hope you’re enjoying your holiday and Bowlapalooza seasons and basking in their glory...

Hi, friends. We interrupt your Bowlapalooza viewing (and we do hope you’re enjoying the early bowl games!) for, well, something that we’ve never done before on The Carla & Crappy Show. And that’s because these games have never been played before … in some cases, literally in multiple ways. Welcome to our first-ever #CnCShow CFP First Round preview. Because we have just four games to evaluate,...
