Description

Andy and The Athletic's University of Tennessee keyboard clacker, David Ubben, react to storylines from the opening days of SEC Media Days. Who has been the most entertaining coach so far according to David? Bryce Young might make HOW MUCH MONEY from his NIL partnerships? Tennessee receiver, Grant Frerking, is among few others who is completely exploiting NIL benefits to its fullest. John McDaid, SEC coordinator of officials, expressed conference adjudicators' intent to crackdown on players faking injuries. How do flag throwers intend to judge whether a player is truly injured? Deion Sanders....umm...or maybe just Coach, dipped out of SWAC media day after being referred to by his first name. Andy and David remind us that there was a similar controversy in the SEC not too long ago. Also, is Sanders distracting from his team with, presumably, these publicity stunts? Lastly, the guys help an overseas listener pick a college football team to root for.

Andy Staples breaks down the beautiful mess that is college football with his friends from The Athletic's loaded college football staff. He'll celebrate the walk-ons, break down all the fat guy TDs and freak out every time a coach punts on fourth-and-1 from the opponent's 45.
