The Shutdown Fullcast, the world's only college football podcast, is only about college football when there are no weirder topics available. However, there are not many topics weirder than college football. Hosted by Spencer Hall, Jason Kirk, and friends.

Sorry about the Toad thing! WEEK 4 PREVIEW
The world's most prophetic podcast continues to speak abominations into existence, most notably that news about erotic Super Mario associates. What Week 4 horrors can we create?

Which truck is your school? Lifehack: lose to Kentucky! AL.com reporter Tow Mater! Bet actual money on Buffalo-Rutgers! Honestly it's mostly more Lewd Nintendo Content.

F**K THEM - Week 3 Review
Ed Orgeron did a cuss, but BYU won in Madison despite specifically not doing cusses, so it remains to be seen whether or not cusses are the way to win football games. Arkansas and Northwestern and USC all probably did some cusses, though you can't really blame them for that. Also there's way too much sexual discussion in this episode related to the Mario universe. Sorry. P.S. Kansas scored 55 points in a football game in 2018 and Rutgers is now a cuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Vans, Severed Legs, and Toledo - Week 3 Preview
Why aren't vans cool anymore? Is Steve Addazio actually Poseidon's personal trainer? What happens if Bama has to score 60 points to beat Ole Miss? Why did Jason bet real American money on UMass? What is up with Miami's road schedule? Who's gonna get a big ole dose of self-confidence this weekend by beating up a bad team? Where does Spencer think Woody Hayes's severed leg would have ended up? Why do we rely on this question structure as if it will be the thing to convince you to listen to the episode? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Week 2 Review: The Old Sickly Men of College Fo...
USC, come here and have some tea. Texas, we brought you epsom salts. Florida, you look like - oh, you're dead? Apparently you're dead. That's fun. Week 2 had plenty of pain and suffering for the shuffling crusty former titans of college football, as well as fun performances from Clemson-Texas A&M, USF-Georgia Tech, and Michigan State-Arizona State. Also, Jason was the only non Iowa or Iowa State fan who watched all of El Assico and in doing so he discovered a MASSIVE ESPN MEDIA LIESPIRACY. Learn more about your ad choices.

Shutdown Fullcast Live in Atlanta
You would think the three of us being in the same physical space, recording our show with the assistance of actual experts in the field, would mean this is the crispest, best sounding Fullcast episode ever. WRONG. One of our colleagues told us it sounds "like the Allied invasion of Germany." We have no plausible explanation for this, but we had a very good time with those of you who came out to the show and if you have the ear strength to muscle through, we think those of you who couldn't might enjoy this episode as well.

Week 2 Preview: Pitt's Butt Approaches
On paper, Week 2 is not as interesting as some other weeks of college football might be. Do not be fooled! These are the weeks when potential disaster awaits, like Georgia letting South Carolina hang around way too long and Georgia fans getting all worked up online. Or Kentucky could beat Florida! Or your cable box could get stuck on Virginia-Indiana! Important topics we cover include: - Ryan's proposal for Anxiety Week - Holly's breakdown of a Philadelphia insect theft - Spencer gets excited about the first Jimbo-Dabo showdown - Everyone else calls Spencer an idiot - Fun facts about the Iowa State coach who proved gambling and telecommuting go together perfectly - Penn State faces Pitt in Blake Bortleseseses ancestral spawning grounds - How Arizona State can win and lead to Mike Shanahan, Ohio State Head Coach - Tales of Overnapping - Liberty-Army, Your Facebook Uncle's Most Anticipated Game - Horse Skeletons and Matt Leinart's bartering success story - Again, Philadelphia Insect Theft Learn more about your ad choices.

Boss Baby Nick Saban: Week 1 Review
I, Ryan Nanni, write the descriptions for these episodes, but I was not available for this one, so I'm going to guess that Jason, Spencer, and Holly talked about:Scott Frost Day, on which Nebraska allowed no points and, shoot, no yards BLACKSHIRTS BACKTexas's commitment to making the Big Ten a deeper conference before the Longhorns themselves join the Big TenMaybe some earnest talk about Washington-Auburn, idkSpencer fawning over Ole MissConsiderably too much talk about...Hawaii, maybe? Let's say HawaiiMinimal talk about West Virginia-Tennessee because fearPondering Miami fans dressed up like Canes Iron Giant or whatever going back to their hotel in full costume just totally bummed Also, this was recorded before the FSU-VT game, so if there's no talkin' bout the Noles, that's why.

MERRY CHRISTMAS IT'S WEEK ONE
The first full week of the 2018 season is here, and that means it's time to talk about Defending Split National Champions UCF and Alabama, Spencer doing actual research to hate on Auburn's chances against Washington, Virginia Tech's 5 man defense, a list of extremely Texas names on Texas Tech, Boston College's most perfect dude, San Diego State beating Stanford because it's part of a narrative arc, Ryan insisting Notre Dame should never have scheduled Michigan again, and Jason reminding you that Kennesaw State's approach to turnover paraphernalia is the purest and best. (Also UAB was way better than Florida and Tennessee last year even though they were basically in the "toddler who just got out of the hospital after a scary illness" stage of college football program development.)

Bill Connelly joins us to assess, approve, reject, and come to terms with BOLD PREDICTIONS submitted by our listeners about Lovie Smith's coaching prowess, an LSU-Florida SEC Title Game, West Virginians fighting Bill, FCS teams triumphing over their richer brothers, and the unsolvable mystery of the ACC Coastal.

Backyard Disasters II: The Backyardening
The second annual edition of the Fullcast's open call for your worst backyard catastrophes did not disappoint, as our listeners spent their summers setting hornet's nests on fire, watching their fathers drive lawnmowers into bodies of water, burning evergreen trees and discovering why they are called "nature's portable dynamite," taking children to the emergency room after horrific family football games, and knocking out the power to whole swaths of their hometowns by throwing used sports gear at vulnerable pieces of public infrastructure. You are all very stupid, and we are so happy about it right now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Michigan Football, The Audiobook
Ok, we didn't set out to make another NPR episode but when you pretend to be a certain kind of Michigan fan you inadvertently kind of make another NPR episode. Anyways, we think Michigan's going 9-1. Listen to the episode and you'll probably put together why. BONUS: This is probably the only podcast anywhere that considers the possibility of Rutgers winning the Big Ten East.

The Best Not-Football Things We Experienced
Here we are, rapidly approaching the end of the Not-Football. In this period of time, we, your hosts, have immersed ourselves in culture so that we might ignore our families unless they would like to watch us play video games. We have also done this so we can tell you about our experiences - the books, movies, TV, music, and so forth that we enjoyed the most during Not-Football, some of it hilariously dated because we're all living on dad time. Also, if you need to do a book report on The Great Gatsby but haven't read the book, just listen to this episode and you'll get a C. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Talkin' Bout The Noles
Florida State had inarguably their worst season in almost a decade, and yet they still handled Florida easily, needed a miracle to finally lose to Miami, and probably shoulda beat Clemson according to our patented Nolemetrics. They remain the kings of the ACC, a conference that is both very deep and total trash that the Seminoles are way better than. This is TALKIN' BOUT THE NOLES, the world's second FSU podcast because we're afraid Bud Elliott will sue us and win if we claim otherwise. Also the Bowden sons suck. Learn more about your ad choices.

2018 Big 12 "Preview," by THE TEX-FILES
You've probably heard people complain that the Big 12 rigs the outcome of games. What you haven't heard is that they rig them to hurt the University of Texas - because the truth is so dangerous to those in power that they must protect their anti-Longhorn strategies at every turn. But here at The Tex-Files, we don't kneel before those conference power brokers. We only worship one thing; unsubstantiated, crackpot, paranoid truth. Learn more about your ad choices.

Questions, Answers, and a Farewell to Papa
As a token of our...shame? Contrition? Acknowledgment that we have put you, our audience, through some things lately? Yeah, that one feels right. As a token of that, we have a bonus episode that has no concepts or bits strung out for far too long and is just us being jackasses answering your questions for OVER ONE HUNDRED MINUTES. Also, we find out during recording that Papa John has fallen from his greasy pedestal. Please support our effort to install Jon Bois as the new Papa John. Learn more about your ad choices.

Put Pitt In! (Our 2018 ACC Coastal Preview)
Pitt has long been the darling of the Shutdown Fullcast, and now it's time for that love to bear fruit in the form of PUT PITT IN, our Panther-focused podcast hosted by Jason Kirk (who has never been to Pittsburgh to my knowledge), Jeff Goldblum (or at least a very poor impersonation of him by Ryan), and Alex Kirshner (who does a Yinzer Bane speech and is basically the most important part of this episode). You can also listen if you would like to hear approximately 1.7 things about Miami, Virginia Tech, UNC, and probably fewer things about Georgia Tech and UVA. I honestly can't remember.

Feast On Our Corn-Heavy Big Ten West 2018 Preview
Welcome to WACORNDA, formerly known as HARDCORE CORNOGRAPHY, a limited edition Nebraska fans only podcast. We respect two teams: Nebraska, the greatest team in college football history, and Illinois, a humble, reliable team that doesn't try to be better than it is. Every other team in the Big Ten West is an embarrassment to itself and the sport. TOM OSBORNE WILL LEG WRESTLE YOUR DAD INTO SUBMISSION IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE. Learn more about your ad choices.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION: The History of Fun on the...
You've played the popular NCAA video game series - but did you know there's an obscure, little-played NFL version of the same game? Madden is arguably more of a fantasy RPG, since it allows you to explore impossibilities like "Florida produces a viable pro quarterback" or "the Chiefs win a Super Bowl." The History of Fun, made by our friends at Polygon, explores the weird and wild origins of the video game series. We hope you like it, if only because it's not another round of Fullcast horseshit!

Cocks and Friends - A Completely Botched 2018 S...
We decided to try something different for this year's preview episodes, and, per Fullcast tradition, trying something different means failing at something different. Welcome to COCKS AND FRIENDS, our single episode South Carolina-focused podcast, through which we preview this year in the SEC East. By preview, I mean continually drop the act on accident, and force Holly to play Rocky Top on an adjacent computer, and generally provide little actionable information. Welcome!
