The Virtual Tailgate

This is the week, dear listeners, where we truly fail you.  We let a sleep deprived Jarred take over and turn the show into a nearly 2-hour bout of inanity.  But it's actually kind of fun.  Sorry for the low quality, too, but it's hard to fit in 2 hours on a budget that expects 1 hour/week. Music: Whatever Jarred used, Price Is Right I believe. There is no Plinko, sadly. Hosted on Acast. See acast...

Jarred reveals the big secret of our recording night by talking about the election, but the inane facts might just be a ruse. We ramble for a while, and the intro music is Hootie because Jarred mocked them in the pre-show, so I'm making him listen to them on here now. Music: Hootie and the Blowfish Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Andrew survived Hurricane Sandy up in Jersey, but he can't charge his phone; Jarred calls in from a hotel right outside Randy Edsall's office; and the guys take stock of the ACC with only a few weeks left to go. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A short, crazy and fun show this week. David calls in from a concert, and Jarred actually prepped his "interview" ahead of time this week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was a small week for the ACC, but next week, everyone's finally playing each other.  And you'll never guess who Jarred talks to this week, on the newly named "He went to Jarred" segment. Music: We are Sex Bob-Omb by Sex Bob-Omb Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jarred is MIA, and Andrew took forever to get the show up (though you won't here about that in the show).  In the show, you'll hear more of the ACC lament, and you'll find out why we need Jarred around: he makes the unexpected picks the rest of us won't. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

While Andrew moves from one apartment to another up in the heart of ACC country (New Jersey), the 3 Virginia guys goof off, sound off, and (finally) sign off.   Topics this week include the awful state of defense around the league; struggles in Atlanta, Blacksburg, and Charlottesville; and questions about just how good Miami really is.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're a man down, but we soldier on.  FSU Clemson was a big deal, but not the game of the week.  Geoff gives that to Miami-Georgia Tech. Also, stay tuned for another of Jarred's "celebrity interviews" (or Jarred finds a new soundboard, as some of us call it). Music: From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come) by Bruce Springsteen Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'll just say it here, this thing came off the rails well before the recorded parts you will hear.  I've got another whole podcast in that recording about 80s TV and what shows were for "girls" versus "guys" I promise we get to some football, but there are a lot of newly-minted inside jokes there too. Game of the Week: Jarred copped out - the rest of us try to go with UNC-Louisville. Lots of Notre...

A rough cut this week with some of our favorite Jarred clips to get us started, and a long, strange, rambling story by Jarred to end it.  Hopefully he won't get us in trouble. Somewhere in the middle, we talk about ACC football, though, and have a good time doing it. Game of the Week: UNC-WF Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back in the saddle after the first week of action on the field. David's Game of the Week: Georgia Tech @ Virginia Tech Music: Down Today by Johnathan Coulton Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're Back! New season, same tune.  We discuss offseason troubles and the upcoming games.  Some wild predictions about the season get tossed about, and Jarred has already refused to pick a winner in our Pick'em.  The more things change, you know? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Who's going where? Is the ACC going to be a basketball conference? Is it already?  We don't know the answers but we like to speculate! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How did the ACC do this Bowl Season?  Can Jarred do impressions? Find out inside!

For so few games to discuss, we sure can ramble on!  The Bowl picture is still pretty fuzzy to us, but at least we know who's playing for the big time now.

This week, Jarred's connection goes walkabout, Geoff regrets firing his old stats guy in the middle of the season, and we all lose it during a discussion of Central Michigan. Before we get started on the football, we give Jarred a chance to make amends over his disbelief in the existence of the Golden Panther.  Results were....less than ideal. We finally get to last week's games: Georgia Tech @ NC...

Our best show ever! Or at least that's what we think. Find out which team is dead to Jarred, and which game he refuses to make a pick on.
