The OG Kickoff w/ Connor O'Gara and Will Ogburn

The guys dug into something they brought up plenty of times on the podcast. That is, how many SEC teams would've beaten 2012 Notre Dame? The guys have plenty of thoughts on the Irish and how they would've matched up with the 5 teams who are part of this discussion. They also hit on some things they forgot since the Irish's 42-14 drubbing at the hands of Alabama in the BCS National Championship. Ho...

Well, the guys decided to let the listeners decide our next "It Just Meant More" game and low and behold, they settled in 2019 Georgia State-Tennessee, AKA when a 2-win Sun Belt team stunned Tennessee in the season opener. The guys recapped a bizarre day on Rocky Top, and they got a special guest to add some context to what turned out to be a historic day. This one will definitely go down as one o...

The guys decided to each consume a form of entertainment of their co-host's choosing. For Connor, that was watching Marler's favorite childhood movie "Hook." For Marler, that was listening to several songs from Connor's favorite country artist Jon Pardi. Let's just say the guys have a lot of thoughts. They dig into that, plus some 4th and Wrong questions. And hey, they even had time for some "Stum...

After doing a Debates Down South podcast about the SEC's most disappointing teams of the 21st century, the guys took the other side of the coin. Who's the conference's most surprisingly good team of the 21st century? Is it obvious? They map out a few parameters before settling on a Top 6. The guys discuss why we thought these teams wouldn't be good, and why they proved us wrong. Did they agree on...

Because of a deal that Connor and Marler made, it was Marler's turn to settle on a game of his choosing for It Just Meant More. Not surprisingly, Marler went with 2013 Alabama at Texas A&M. A pair of national title contenders faced off in a shootout for the ages. The 2-time defending champs squared off with Johnny Manziel following his Heisman season and wild offseason. The guys have tons and tons...

For the second week in a row, the guys got into some real stuff. Former Tennessee receiver Jayson Swain joined the guys to talk all things Tennessee, racism, Johnny Majors and much more. The guys closed the show out with an edition of Stump Marler that, let's just say, went a little too smoothly. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris MarlerLearn more about your ad choices.

The late Tennessee legend was the subject of today's Debates Down South. The guys talked about an extremely controversial year in which Paul Hornung took home the award despite his 3-13 TD-INT ratio for the 2-8 Irish. So did Hornung deserve to win? Or was there somebody else who got an even tougher deal? Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris MarlerLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoic...

The guys have an all-time game to look back on. In honor of the late Pat Dye, the guys decided to dig into the game that became a launching point for his time at Auburn. In a showdown with Bear Bryant, true freshman Bo Jackson's 4th-down score gave the Tigers their first Iron Bowl win in a decade. The guys looked back on the circumstances surrounding that, as well as the characters who played a pa...

We've got tons to get to on Casual Friday. The guys led off the pod with a discussion of Jake Fromm's poorly-worded text that went viral. They were joined by former Kentucky linebacker Kash Daniel, who opened up on his mental health issues, the Kyle Trask incident and much more. The guys closed Casual Friday with Stump Marler with Jay Woody. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris MarlerLearn more about your...

Let's stay on the 2020 theme and talk about disappointment. The guys have an interesting discussion to dig into as it relates to that. Who was the SEC's most disappointing team of the 21st century? There have been plenty of them. The guys narrow the list down to a "Flopped 5" and look back on the preseason buzz and postseason autopsy of each of their seasons. And of course, they answer the most im...

We picked the longest game in NCAA history to recap because it was all sorts of wild. The epic 7-overtime thriller in the 2018 regular season finale was the last game that LSU lost, and ironically, it was probably the most important game that Jimbo Fisher won. The guys have a full recap of all the people and moments that fueled a crazy, unpredictable, never-ending game. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris...

The guys are back with ... actual football news? At the time of the recording, there were reports of J.T. Daniels committing to Georgia (he committed immediately after they stopped recording). The guys break that down, plus, we've got a full Casual Friday with a golf edition of 4th and Wrong and Stump Marler. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris MarlerLearn more about your ad choices.

The guys have an interesting discussion to get you through your post-Memorial Day weekend hangover. Excluding Nick Saban, who's the SEC's best coach of the 21st century? With a couple of key parameters in place, the guys break down a list of 7 candidates. They go in-depth with the cases for them and the cases against them as the SEC's No. 2 coach of the 21st century. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Ma...

We have an all-time game to look back on, folks. Tennessee's national championship season had many moments of uncertainty, perhaps none quite as significant as the wet, rainy November game against unbeaten Arkansas. The guys look back at a game and a season that forever made Phillip Fulmer a legend in Knoxville. What went wrong for Houston Nutt? And why can't we stop thinking about Clint Stoerner'...

It's about time. The guys finally had SEC Network analyst Jordan Rodgers on the pod to talk all things Twitter beef, The Bachelorette, quarantine hair, his Pitch Perfect 2 appearance and much more. Originally, the guys were going to record another edition of "Stump Marler," but technology was not in their favor. Instead, they saved that for next week and read the quarantine 5-star reviews on iTune...

The guys danced around this subject before, so they decided to dig into an all-important debate. Who is the greatest SEC quarterback of all-time? They narrowed the list down to 12 ... and then to 8 ... and then to 6. What did people say about this debate? What's the worst take one can have about this debate? What did we forget until revisiting this? And where do the guys stand? They dug into all o...

Let's go back to the golden era of Vandy football. The 2013 season was James Franklin's third in Nashville, and it didn't take off until this game against Georgia. Aaron Murray, playing without Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, struggled to hold off the Commodores in what turned out to be a monumental win for Franklin. The guys ran through all the usual categories to recap a wild day in Nashville. L...

In honor of Mother's Day this past Sunday, the guys answered a slew of questions devoted to all things moms. Best TV mom? Best SEC mom? Moment you realized your mom was proud of you? The guys dig into all of that. Plus, we've got a special edition of Stump Marler devoted to his favorite rivalry, The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris MarlerLearn more about your ad choices. Vi...

Yes, we're talking Bama today. It's a debate that many college football fans had during and after the 2017 regular season ended, but the Crimson Tide won the last Playoff spot. Obviously, we know what happened after that (the Sugar Bowl win, 2nd and 26, etc.). Today, however, is strictly devoted to examining the Playoff-worthiness of Alabama and Ohio State in 2017. OK, we've got a little UCF, too....

Let's take it back to when Mizzou surprised the college football world by winning the SEC East. The Tigers clinched it by taking down Johnny Manziel in the 2013 regular season finale. The guys set the scene with all of the great nuggets that you probably forgot about. And let's just say the "what would've happened if the result was flipped" resulted in a whole lot of Marler pain. Hosts: Connor O'G...

It's birthday week, and the guys have a fitting way to close it out. They've got a 4th and Wrong with all things birthdays/parties. The guys talk about what they did for their respective birthdays and much, much more. Also, Jay Woody joined the guys for another edition of "Stump Marler."Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris MarlerLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more abou...

We've got a classic debate to discuss involving a pair of SEC programs (South Carolina was independent in 1980). It's Herschel Walker vs. George Rogers for the 1980 Heisman Trophy. Ask Georgia fans and they'll tell you it wasn't much of a debate. Herschel didn't even finish second that year, but in his attempt to become the first true freshman winner ever, many felt that age was the lone factor wo...

Let's go all the way back to ... last November? Yes, the 2019 Egg Bowl was that good. The battle between Ole Miss and Mississippi State ended in the most bizarre, impactful fashion possible. Go figure that it was a Thursday night game involving a pair of teams at the bottom of the SEC West standings. The guys detailed the craziness that unfolded and looked back at some of the events that followed...

Starting in 2021, college athletes are going to be able to profit from their name, image and likeness (NIL), which prompted the guys to answer some NIL-related 4th and Wrong questions. Best future ad deals? Best NCAA Football video game teams/players? Richest SEC player because of future ad deals? Plus, Jay Woody joined the guys for another edition of "Stump Marler."Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Mar...

What gets people upset? Talking about claimed national titles. Fanbases get defensive in a hurry. In addition to discussing some NFL Draft takeaways, the guys debated the 3 most egregious claimed national titles from SEC programs. They break down why it was/is a debate, what people said about them at the time, the worst take one can have about this, what we forgot/didn't know until researching thi...
