The Carla and Crappy Show

It’s Week 9 of the college football season and Carla and Crappy are both wearing black. One of us likes black jerseys; the other one is in mourning. (We’re willing to bet that you can guess who is who here.) Carla, though, is more than happy to talk about the chaos that was the ACC last weekend. She absolutely, definitely, under no circumstances however wants to talk about that other little footba...

It’s Week 8 of the college football season, and yes, Ellie, “yay, feetball” indeed. It’s here. The weekend that Carla and Crappy have been anticipating since … oh, the end of last season.  Penn State. Ohio State. Drew Allar. Kyle McCord. Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen. TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr. And … Daequan Hardy? (Who?) But before we get completely lost in t...

It’s Week 7 – the midway point of the college football season (if you can believe that already). Which means only one thing: It’s time for midterms. In true academic fashion, Carla grades her performance after last week’s parity-filled picks. (She passed, but barely.) Crappy, on the other hand, doles out failing grades to the USC defense as well as the Miami coaching staff. (Take a knee! Like, for...

It’s Week 6 of the college football season, and Carla and Crappy decide to attempt a fun exercise: Name the best five teams right now in college football. It proved to be a much more challenging task than it originally seemed. We’re not sure Carla ever actually settled on five teams – it was more like six or seven – and Crappy had similar struggles. Looking back at last weekend’s action alone, Car...

Kentucky. Kansas. Duke. Wait … did this become a college basketball podcast? Nope. These are schools looking to shed their basketball-school reputations in some big time football games this weekend. But before we get to the Week 5 action, Carla and Crappy recap the spectacularity (if that’s not a word, it should be) that was Week 4. Carla questions whether Florida State is as good as we initially...

It’s Week 4 of the college football season … and if you’ve taken a peek at the slate for this weekend, your head may be spinning as much as ours are. So. Many. Big. Games. But we don’t want to jump ahead of ourselves. True to form, last weekend’s schedule was lackluster on paper but ended up full of crazy, causing Carla to question whether this is the most parity we’ve seen in college football in...

Hi friends! It’s Week 3 of the college football season and, well, let’s just say the schedule isn’t quite as enticing as the past two weekends have been. So much so that AJ has declared this weekend “Be A Family Person Weekend,” and given himself the week off. Crappy and Carla are … kind of in agreement. So instead of a normal show this week, we shift into “Games We Care About” mode and get a litt...

We did it, everyone. We survived the mini-bowl week that the opening weekend of the college football season has become. And boy, was it a fun one.  Carla had so many thoughts about Week 1 — including an undefeated uprising on the west coast — that she had to write about them . Crappy, meanwhile, was underwhelmed by — but not overly concerned about — Ohio State’s line play. But, here’s the thing. T...

Uncle Crappy <yourcrappyuncle@gmail.com> 3:54 PM (1 minute ago)     to Michael This is the week of a lot of exciting beginnings. Five straight days of college football. Teams and conferences on new television channels. (The 3:30 CBS song is ours now , thank you very much.) We get to see new offensive schemes. New quarterbacks. Heck, Colorado is going to show us a whole new roster. Fun times....

Howdy, boys and girls. It’s time. There are Actual. College. Football. Games. on the schedule for this weekend. And that means the gang’s all here to make Season 12 of the Carla & Crappy Show officially official. But first, we have some housekeeping to take care of, including a quick update on the Pac-4 and conference realignment situation … which, of course, changed shortly after we recorded...

For the third year running, college football has blown up with some big news as the season approaches — and even though we’d already done a summer show, the demolition of a century-old storied conference nudged AJ, Carla and Crappy to get back together and assess the new lay of the conference land.    The migration of Oregon and Washington to the B1G and Utah, Arizona and Arizona State to the Big...

The Fourth of July weekend is still in our rear-view mirror, so it’s the height of summertime — which makes it perfect for the Summer 2023 edition of the Carla and Crappy Show. And what a show it is. Prompted by a prediction that Crappy’s Bobcats will play the show’s beloved Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders in the pinnacle of postseason destinations – that would be the Bahamas Bowl – Carla got in tou...

A thing we say every January: We can't believe it's over. There's just one more college football game on the schedule (unless you're counting the FCS title game and the all-star game, which you should absolutely do). While we're always sad to see a season come to its end, this year feels especially painful due to just how spectacular the final week of bowl games has been. The CFP semifinals were t...

Bowlapalooza season is still underway -- and it's been a good one so far. Carla was quite pleased with Middle Tennessee's big win in Hawaii, while Crappy was impressed by Fresno's complete domination of Washington State.  But now it's time to turn our attention to the big-time bowl games. While the schedule is a bit strange this year thanks to New Year's Day falling on a Sunday, we expect all of t...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, kids. A whole mess of meaningless college football on your television nearly every day of the week. And that can only mean one thing: Welcome to Bowlapalooza 2022. In addition to the full crew of Carla, Crappy, and AJ, we’re thrilled to be joined by a cast of thousands (or, OK, maybe three others who love this time of year as much as we do) – defending Bow...

It’s Champinchip Week in college football, and Carla, Crappy and AJ are pumped for a massive slate of games spanning Friday and Staturday. Well, Carla and AJ are pumped — after last weekend, Crappy might be happier discussing the World Cup. Outside of Columbus, Rivalry Week was as good as advertised — ask AJ, who watched 39 straight hours of football, through the end of the Apple Cup in Pullman. A...

It’s Week 13 of the college football season, and Carla and Crappy have a guest sit in for the initial discussions of Wivalwy Week — Cornell running back Drew Powell. Cornell’s season wrapped last weekend and the Big Red finished at 5-5; Drew wrapped up his season injury-free (mostly, anyway) and on a high note, with the most offensive contributions he’s made all season.   Drew hung out for our loo...

It’s Week 12 of the college football season, and we should all keep Carla in our thoughts — because #MACtion continues to test Uncle Crappy’s attention span, and because the game with the round orange ball kept her up waaaay past her bedtime. But once the hoopage FINALLY ended, we got our rankings, we got through a discussion of last weekend’s craziness on the West Coast and we learned that Kurtis...

It’s Week 11 of the college football season, and we have a problem. We’re well **TOUCHDOWN** into November and #MACtion is in full swing — meaning that there are potentially important games being played **WOOOOO** as we tape on Tuesday nights.   How important? How’s about the annual rivalry game between Crappy’s OU **THAT’S NOT HOLDING** Bobcats and the cake-eaters at Miami — it’s THAT important....

It’s Week 10 of the college football season, when some players inevitably have to play hurt — and that’s the case with Uncle Crappy, who has been living in the Nissan COVID House all week. As such, Carla steps up again to lead this week’s ambitious show — and by “ambitious,” we mostly mean “long.”   After recapping last weekend’s events — including an insane finish on the West Coast, the results o...

It’s Week 9 of the college football season, but be very careful: There are traps ahead. Multiple teams this week face the dreaded “trap game” situation, which seems exceptionally dubious on the weekend before Halloween. But before we carefully tip-toe around this week’s schedule (because, you know, traps), we take a look back at last weekend, including Syracuse looking the part, UCLA/Oregon not li...

It’s Week 8 of the college football season, and we’re breaking new ground. For the first time ever in the 11-year history of this little podcast, Crappy’s not here, Carla’s playing the role of host, and AJ recommends that we all go to bed early this week. Wait. What? Yep, Carla and AJ are holding down the fort this week, looking back at last week’s incredible games (other than the ones Carla had r...

Do you have questions about college football? This weekend’s college football has answers. Week 7 of the season has what we need to finally figure out a whole bunch of teams. Ranked on ranked games? Got those. Matchups of undefeateds? Got those too. This is when we’re going to eff around and find out. Carla was not super impressed with the endings of the last two games she watched Saturday (Jimbo?...

Crappy is enamored with the ACC. Carla’s watching the Big 12. What in the name of college football is going on? You know this answer: We have no idea. What we do know, however, is that it’s Week 6 of the 2022 season, and we’re having so much fun following all of the intriguing storylines that we’ve decided to do yet another speed round. After recapping last weekend, including Crappy’s recent obses...

Meep = University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners. Middle = Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. Mortable = A combination of the words “mortal” and “beatable,” coined totally intentionally by Uncle Crappy in this week’s show. And with that, it’s Week Five of the college football season, and boys and girls, the fun is only just getting started. Carla and Crappy had more fun than most last weeke...
