The Virtual Tailgate

We thoroughly apologize for such a long episode.  We didn't have enough time to make it any shorter.  (with apologies to TJ for the paraphrase) Enjoy on your Labor Day drives! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We get the crew back together to review the ACC's departing talent, see who did well, and who didn't.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's late, but still good!  We run down the 2014 ACC classes and catch up on offseason football talk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jarred quizzes the guys on Country music's relationship to the ACC teams, and we try to celebrate FSU's big win without getting distracted by our hometown teams failures. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jarred gets into the holiday spirit (or perhaps just some spirits during the holidays) and we break down all the bowl games, eventually. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hi Ho Gavel, Away! Judge Jarred asks the rest of the crew to defend some of the more embattled ACC coaches, and then steals off into the night, surely for some nefarious purpose.  Afterwards, we spend 20 minutes trying to come up with some hope for the Blue Devils again Famous Jameis and his crew, to no avail. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Geoff is away this week, which just gives Jarred more room to run around.  We do try to talk serious for a minute about Jameis Winston and Duke's 10-win potential, but by the end, Jarred just goes Gaga over Randy...... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Judge Jarred makes an early debut, but he gets confused about his intro music.  We talk coach of the year, and a bunch of late-season fluff games. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jarred tries to analyse a game using a 10+ year old song, and 3 of us call a pick audible on the same game.  We start discussing bowl bids, and whether Maryland will get one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We try to talk about early picks for season superlatives, and, well, we just keep talking.  Some time later, we finally get to the games, but Jarred's had a few by then, so we're all just hanging on for dear life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As always, we've saved the best for last, with our preview and predictions for the big Miami-Florida State game on Saturday.  But the biggest question of all remains:  Can you help Jarred name that tune at the end of the show? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Another David-less week, but we soldier on.  Jarred has technical difficulty, and we dissect the biggest eggs laid last week.  Here's hoping everyone plays a bit better this coming week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

David's off on exotic travels this week, so Geoff and I try to keep Jarred in line.  This far into the furlough, things are not looking good, folks.  Let's all be glad that next week, Jarred will have been working.  We talk the big games of the week, and someone makes an about-face on the FSU-Clemson game! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Look, everyone, I'm sorry.  I completely lost track of time and everything this week, and here it is Sunday morning, and I'm just now getting around to posting this thing.  I know it's too late to be useful for insight on your large money bets in Vegas, but it's still a good show.  Well, Jarred's a little crazy, but you expect that, right?  New show this week soon! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/p...

Jarred opens up about Government furlows and personal issues.  David begins the next conference realignment campaign, and Geoff tries his best to actually talk about football.  I'm just the recorder. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After we wrapped this show, Geoff proclaimed "Despite everything, it was a pretty good show," and we hope you agree.  With so many mis-matched games this week, and even the close ones having ridiculous scores, it was easy to get off track, but we try to talk about what we learned, and use none of that knowledge to inform our upcoming picks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informati...

I try to keep the viewership numbers from Jarred, but he somehow finds these things out, and get clips to go with them, too.  Wake slides right in to the new whipping boy role, with room to spare, and Jarred fuzzes out mid-analysis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Everyone is back, and we managed not to let it get too long! In between the cheers and the jeers, the gameballs and the picks, enjoy hearing Jarred fall apart as his 'Skins slowly surrender to the Eagles.  Maybe we should record on Monday all the time? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With Andrew and Geoff on IR tonight, David and Jarred muddle through by themselves.  Surprisingly, they actually manage to talk a little ACC football, celebrate big wins from Clemson, Florida State, and Virginia, and hand out gameballs from some impressive opening week performances.   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back for another season of maybe, kind of, talking about ACC football.  In this episode, Jarred creates a pretty good game.  Too bad he didn't tell us about it until the middle of the show!  We break down the teams, get lots of facts wrong, and listen to our favorite clip again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's a new year, and college football is finished, with the pros close behind.  Catch one last look at the ACC's year with us, and question how Jarred can make such good connections between Britney Spears songs and ACC football games without anyone mocking his comprehension of Britney's catalog. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After a quick wrap-up on the championship game, it's time to play the bowl preview game. Pay close attention (or not really) and see how Jarred doesn't have to report on any of the upcoming games! Also, we welcome our silent, unofficial 5th panel member, Micah Vaughan! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Don't delete this show just yet!  While we figure out our schedules for the bowl preview show, here's a little more conversation to tide you over.  Last week, we did some pre-show while waiting on Jarred to finish up something offline, and decided to share it with you here.  It's much rougher, as we run through our discussion topics and aren't able to hold back and "save it for the show". Hope you...

If you listen to one show this week - well I don't know to tell you.  But if you've downloaded this one, stick around to the end, because Jarred gets really fired about the current state of VT football, and though we don't much agree with him, it's a fun conversation. The ACC continues to screw us, both on the field (dropping 4 to the SEC) and off (dropping all it's big new the day after we record...

We're mostly back on track, and we've got a fan-favorite discussion topic: Conference Expansion Rumors! We recorded early, so we miss on the Miami self-imposed bowl ban and confirmation of Maryland leaving, but definitely talk about it all Music: I'm Your Moon by Johnathan Coulton (he's got a christmas album out, go give it a look:  https://secure.jonathancoulton.com/ocaat/ ) Hosted on Acast.
