The Carla and Crappy Show

The conference championships have been decided. The College Football Playoff field is set. And so that can mean only one thing: It’s time to debate which coach we’d like to see get doused in mayonnaise. Yes, friends, it’s time for the 11.5th Annual Carla & Crappy Show Bowlapalooza. This year, in addition to being joined by long-time Bowlapalooza staples Jake Rose and Braden Gall, we add two ne...

It’s Week … oh, you know what? Who cares what week it is? We only care about one thing: It’s Champinchip Week, friends. The dust has finally settled. (We’re looking at you, Big 12.) The matchups are set … and some are unexpected. And at least five of this weekend’s nine games have playoff implications. It’s gonna be a fun one. But before we get into breaking down every title game this weekend, we...

It’s the final week of the college football regular season, and you know what that means — it’s rivalry, or, uh wivalwy week. And while of the conference drama has settled down since last weekend, there are still plenty of scenarios — we’re looking at you, Big 12 — to be decided on Friday and Saturday.   Week 13? It was utter chaos, and it left Alabama likely out of the playoff picture and cemente...

It’s Week 13 of the college football season … and AJ is deep into spreadsheets, if/then formulas, and opponent cumulative winning percentages. And that can mean only one thing: Either he’s got way too much time on his hands … or we’re getting close to the end of the season and conference title games. (Hint: It’s the latter. Mostly.) Hi friends. Yes, believe it or not, there are just two weeks left...

Have you ever tried to record a podcast while a MAC game is in full-on MACtion mode, resulting in an overtime contest with a combined 99 points?  Neither had we. Until this week. Hi, friends. Welcome to Week 12 of the college football season. And if Tuesday night is any indication, we’re in for a wild ride. But that’s what usually happens when the slate appears to be a little lackluster. And guess...

It’s Week 11 of the college football season … and nothing makes sense. Sure, MACtion is back, and we’re as excited about it as ever. And yes, the Big 12 looks like it’s definitely going to enjoy a potential buffet this weekend. So why, then, is Carla wearing a “Yay Feetball” sweatshirt during the week when she hates college football? What was Penn State’s fourth-quarter goal-line play calling all...

It’s Week 10 of the college football season and friends? For what we believe to be the first time in the 13-year history of The Carla and Crappy Show, there are no games that kick off after 8 p.m. ET Saturday. Yes, really. No, AJ is not OK. But when we reflect on last weekend’s action, AJ starts us off on a good note, as his week was bookended by two spectacular wins by Kennesaw State (on Tuesday)...

It’s Week 9 of the college football season, and boy, was last weekend a lot of fun. North Texas at Memphis was the fireworks factory that we expected. Georgia went full beast mode and dominated in Austin. And even the home radio announcers were incredulous about Indiana’s throttling of Nebraska. Also, we now live in a world where Indiana and Vanderbilt are ranked, and The Team Up North isn’t. Ever...

Crappy may be ready to talk baseball, since his Buckeyes had a less-than-successful trip to Eugene last weekend, but Carla and AJ — with the help of an Aaron Judge homer — brought Crappy down to earth in time to go through another week of college football, when several teams seem destined to FAFO (if you don’t get the reference, our friends at Urban Dictionary can help you, uh, find out ). We alwa...

During last week’s Week 6 edition , we low-key mentioned that it’s the “underwhelming” weeks on the college football schedule when chaos and weird stuff can happen. And then … boy, did it ever. So the gang’s all here live this week as we break down the first “ blood week ” in college football since 2022. It arguably started with SMU knocking off Louisville and continued with Texas A&M demolish...

It’s Week 6 of the college football season, and friends, it’s time to catch our breath. As expected, last weekend was a wild ride. And we’ll just go ahead and say it now: You’ll want to clear your schedule for next weekend.  But this week? While there is a bunch of intrigue on the slate, there aren’t a ton of marquee matchups.  As always, before we look ahead, we look back at last weekend and go l...

It’s Week 5 of the college football season, and what we know for sure is this: You’ll need as many screens as humanly possible for the primetime window on Saturday. We have a jam-packed slate ahead of us with so many games with intriguing storylines, we had a super hard time whittling them down. And also … add the extremely likely possibility that a bunch of these games will be impacted by heavy r...

It’s Week 4 of the college football season, and we’re getting into the beginnings of conference play. This means that yes, the gang’s all here as AJ joins us live because we all need to remind ourselves of which teams are in which conferences. And in 2024, it also means locating the CW on your channel guide.  Before we get into this week’s action, we look back at what was a busy weekend of, well,...

Welcome back to the Carla and Crappy show, the title of which Crappy apparently just remembered this week — and with it, a mini Wivalwy Week right here in the middle of September and some breaking news from the West Coast, courtesy of our #GroupOfFiveAfterDark correspondent AJ. We look back before we look ahead, and Week Two was huge for the Mid-American Conference, with one massive upset and one...

It’s officially college football’s Week 2, and AJ joins Carla and Crappy live as we attempt to will a bunch of things into being for the remainder of the 2024 season. Vandy in a bowl game? Diego Pavia and Jerry Kill on another war path to Jordan Hare? Notre Dame losing a game? Robert Morris to the FCS playoffs? We say yes, please, to all of these things and then some. Also, MTSU wins a rain-soaked...

It’s the official full start of the college football season, and Crappy has apparently decided to introduce a new segment into the show: The Group of Dark After Five Report.  This may have been a freudian slip, though, because what lies ahead of us this weekend is a thing of beauty: Five. Straight. Days. Of. College. Football. We start this week by reviewing the limited action from Week 0, which i...

The sounds of drum cadences are in the air, which can mean one of two things: AJ is playing EA Sports College Football 25 nearby or college football is back, baby. (Actually, who are we kidding? Both things are true.) Yes, friends, welcome to Week 0, otherwise known as the “What the heck is my Fubo password?” weekend. (Seriously. Go find your passwords. Set up your football-watching environment. T...

It’s a whole new year — happy 2024, kids — but the weirdness of the 2023 college football season may not be letting up any time soon, going all the way through Monday’s national championship game.   But before Carla and Crappy get to Washington and the Wolverines, they take a look back at more bowl games — Can we get them all to be sponsored by food products? It makes the postgame that much more a...

It’s still the most wonderful time of the year, and as bowl season continues along its merry way, Carla and Crappy are more than happy to revel in its glory. And boy, has this season been the gift that just keeps on giving. We’ve seen Western Kentucky erase a 28-point deficit to win the Famous Toastery Bowl … and then make “toast angels” on the field. We enjoyed watching Appalachian State beat Mia...

We love us some brown sugar-cinnamon Pop-Tarts. And we love us some Bowlapalooza. Together? You get nearly two hours of college football podcasting fun. The bowl game season begins Saturday at 11 a.m. (#OUOhYeah), continuing through the next few weeks. And as we do here at the Carla and Crappy Show, we gathered up a few friends – and an avocado – to pick some of the games we thought will be intere...

And somehow … we’re at Championship Week. Erm, ahem. Excuse us. That’s Champinchip Week. To celebrate, the gang’s all here as AJ – the nation’s foremost expert in Group of Five football – joins Carla and Crappy live to break down all 10 conference title games happening this weekend. But before we get into the fun, we discuss some not-so-fun stuff, as Middle Tennessee head coach Rick Stockstill, a...

When we reach the point of the season where we refer to weeks by names and not numbers, that’s when things are getting good. And with that, it’s Wivalwy Week. Carla and Crappy both got to watch a ton of feetball last weekend; Carla was impressed with Washington holding off a late charge by Oregon State in a heavy rainstorm, and Crappy was happy that Luke Fickell won the Wisconsin-Nebraska eligibow...

It’s Week 12 of the college football season … and my goodness, how thankful are we for West Coast football this week?  Because if you’ve taken a look at the slate, there are a lot of cupcakes. Except for the West Coast, that is. Dang it all, we’re going to miss you, Pac-12. Before we get into this week’s offerings, though, Carla and Crappy dive into actual college football news, including a slew o...

Oh, hi there, boys and girls. It’s Week 11 of the college football season. Carla’s voice is just about gone and Crappy is distracted (for the first time this year) by midweek MACtion and his Ohio Bobcats. So, yeah … just your normal week around these parts. Before we get into some interesting stuff coming up this weekend, we look back at some fun results from last week. Clemson had an improbable w...

Hi there, boys and girls. It’s Week 10 of the college football season, Carla and Crappy are both in some semblance of Halloween attire … and Brian Ferentz no longer has a job. But before we get into that, we take an almost-live look at the first College Football Playoff rankings — hint: They don’t mean much yet — before reviewing how absolutely wrong we were about just about everything last Saturd...
