The preview edition of the Fullcast may have gotten mad at EXTREMELY SERIOUS Iowa fans? And might have told them to eat an extremely unclean part of the Fullcast's body? That may have happened, in addition to these other topics of great interest for the upcoming weekend of college football. --Why you should go out and get into a fight with a random stranger over the first set of college football playoff rankings. --Reader questionl, including Jason absolutely nailing the coach who currently looks (and acts) most like their team's mascot. --A look ate the week ahead, including all of us realizing that after Florida State comes to town Clemson gets an easy toboggan ride into the ACC Conference Championship game where they will definitely have to play "another football team."

WEEKEND REVIEW AND FRANK BEAMER APPRECIATION EPISODE. Oh hell yes, what you wanted in the Fullcast was even more wandering and discussion of that time Frank Beamer's kin shot up a courthouse. Topics (besides courthouse shootings) include: --That thing that happened in Duke/Miami, and why you could not pay any of us enough money to deal with any of that mess ever --Hey, remember when Minnesota shifted eight times and had three players in motion during a clock play against Michigan? That happened, too. --Oh, another thing that happened: the time Georgia got bored and made their quarterbacks all do things they weren't good at --Georgia lost. To Florida. We talk about that for a while, because we can. Because Georgia lost 27-3 to Florida and made their second-string quarterback their punter. (He was pretty good! But still!) --No really Georgia made their running quarterback throw 33 times in his first start and only rushed him four times. --An appreciation of Frank Beamer, the only person who could make you think a 12-10 ACC game was cool and worth watching Learn more about your ad choices.

The midweek Fullcast accomplishes all the following in the mere breezy tiny span of 55 minutes: --Listing all the things that DEFINITELY CAN'T HAPPEN after we said on the last podcast that there was little chance Miami would fire him this week.

The quick reaction edition of the Shutdown Fullcast was made obsolete just an hour after it was recorded thanks to the firing of Al Golden at Miami. We publish nevertheless, with reactions and hearty guffawing at the idea of how good Al Golden's hair looked at even the lowest points of his Miami tenure. Topics include: --The aforementioned assbeating of Miami at home, and yes how great Al Golden seemed to look the whole time despite that. --Did you see Florida State lost? YOU SHOULD PROBABLY LISTEN TO HOW BAD FLORIDA STATE LOST. --A discussion of how optimistic Tennessee fans could and should be despite losing to Alabama again. --A quick review of how bad USC whooped up on Utah, and why this undoubtedly means USC loses next week because the Pac-12 is full of gremlins and everyone must lose a fight to at least two of them in a full season.

The Shutdown Fullcast talks mostly about the time we cooked food on a redneck shopping cart grill on a fire made from burning furniture stolen from a Haverty's dumpster. This may seem odd, but the idea of a dominant victory over a good team by the Florida Gators?

Topics: --We get immediately to the question: "How shocked are you that Florida was really good for one game?" --A brief recollection of Florida horrors of the past --A warning against pitying Ohio State fans, ever --Why Alabama beat Georgia, and why Ole Miss lost to Florida, and a further discussion of styles making fights --A lengthy discussion of the most Florida moments in our lives!

The Fullcast mostly makes fun of Texas this week, but covers a few other topics with this week's guest, Georgia fan and NPR host connoisseur Doug Gilett (aka @captainannoying.) --A quick audit of NPR hosts and the services they have to provide to you because they are technically your employee --An answer to the immortal question "Why is Big Boi wearing nothing but Mets gear in the 'Rosa Parks' video?" --Discussion of how in three days New York City will invent Chick-Fil-A --An extensive mockery of the Texas Officiating Conspiracy, and a historical recollection of the time Texas kicked the saddest field goal ever kicked --And then, a little more mockery of Texas --Doug defends the idea of Georgia somehow beating Alabama this weekend --A review of the rest of the games coming up this week, including a brief discussion of the "Petrino Family Birthin' Hut" --An ending conversation where Ryan gets groceries delivered to his apartment and also about New York finally getting a Chick-Fil-A, a new fad and trend they invented Learn more about your ad choices.

The Fullcast is back to do what we do best, which is make fun of a.) Alabama losing, and b.) people from Ohio telling anyone what is good about anything in life. There's also the following topics, each covered with the usual Skype-glitching and happy negligence. --How a loss for Bama ensures their appearance in the playoff --An examination of the great pride people from Ohio can feel about Ohio while living several thousand miles away from Ohio --A brief appreciation of the short happy career of "Cooper Batman" --Why there are things to watch in the fourth week of the season, and how almost none of them are taking place in the SEC --How Gus Johnson is calling the Texas Tech/TCU game and that's perfect because all it requires is loud, indistinct hollerin' --Is Hawaii lost in the Midwest? --AT 51:30 OR SO: Jason Kirk casts King of the Hill as a live-action movie with college football coaches, which is really the kind of question we desperately try to avoid, but in this case works like syrup on bacon on hotcakes on a pile of unmarked bills.

The first completely competitive and interesting weekend of the college football season gets...well, it gets us starting off by talking about a man dying a horrible death in a New York utility tunnel.

Because there is a fresh reason to shit on Texas." -- A proposal about Auburn struggling being a sign they will inevitably end up in the national title game -- How Houston Nutt is orbiting the earth like Felix Baumgartner waiting for that call from a willing school as a signal to drop in and save Arkansas -- More petty swipes at Will Muschamp (cut and paste from every week) -- A painful recounting of the times each of us watched a game that left us so angry we wept blood (except for Jason, who is the Dr. Manhattan of college football) -- Proposed: a campus full of yellow jackets would actually be a deeply uncomfortable place, and a campus of Brutus Buckeyes would be pretty much the same as Ohio State's campus right now -- Why BYU is dirty as hell (and that's just fine) -- Proposed: sponsoring a Shutdown Fullcast bowl game Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's Shutdown Fullcast covers the Big 12, a conference of such astonishing depth and interest we didn't have time to get to reader questions. We'll double down on them next week, but we apologize: Iowa State is JUST that fascinating.

The Fullcast goes way, way long this week, eclipsing the hour mark mostly because SOMEONE found Chris Berman's IMDB page halfway through the broadcast. (He was in The Program AND Necessary Roughness! He's practically the Jean-Paul Belmondo of '90s football films!) Topics: --Why "Hoosiers" sucks and how George Lucas is going to put CGI Jabba into a remastered "Birth of a Nation" --Why "Rudy" and most other college football movies suck, but also why "Rudy" sucks more than others, mostly. --A diversion into Werner Herzog narrating Syracuse football documentaries --A promise to buy someone a beer if they actually listen to a certain mysterious point in the podcast (which we will honor) --Seriously, you can get two free beers for listening to this whole podcast provided you see us in real life --Things that do not change year to year in college football, like Ohio State being good or our fictional Woody Hayes living in Hell because "Heaven's soft". --A discussion of "which program is the most Jon Bois" (it's Iowa State) Learn more about your ad choices.

PURE FOOTBALL EROTICA. That's not an exaggeration, we discuss pure football erotica this week, or at least what we find to be erotic in the game of football.

Also the cleaning crew did not come last night and there's some pretty disgusting stuff on these benches. In addition to the following suspiciously football-like topics. --Gus Malzahn suggesting a freshness seal and/or born-on date for SEC teams is a necessary thing --Houston Nutt appearing at Big 12 Media Days either looking for a job or scouting the Mary Kay Convention across the hall --A list of things Art Briles could say out loud and not get prosecuted for --A record total of coach imitations and serial killer references --How Ryan and LaDainian Tomlinson are basically the same person Learn more about your ad choices.

This week's Shutdown Fullcast is not only late, it's recorded on the road with relatively poor audio quality! Obviously you should listen to every terrible second of it. Topics covered: 1. Rivalries updated, i.e. can you make up a rivalry out of thin air? Should you even have rivals? Which rivalries actually matter, and which ones do people even really care about? Why are the most intense rivalries between the most similar types of people? Remember that time South Carolina and Clemson had a head-kicking brawl that cost South Carolina a bowl game? You should probably remember that more often than you do. 2. Is Les Miles sort of doomed at LSU? Beyond the usual ambient level of doom one might associate with LSU? 3. What teams are you really, really unwilling to admit you enjoy watching? And not "oh, it's a guilty pleasure!" level watching, but "oh god please don't let even my wife know I enjoy watching them" kind of shame or discomfort. Learn more about your ad choices.

Charlie Strong poses with baby tigers named Bonnie and Clyde, an examination of states that will allow you to own a tiger without any paperwork whatsoever, Kliff Kingsbury remaking the "Tip Drill" video as a recruiting pitch, Texas A&M making up eight new exotic animal-based traditions in order to compete, a pitch for an SEC Network show called "Aggie Court," and Kevin Sumlin quietly wondering when he can take the Chargers job. 29:01--41:00 Where we discuss UAB coming back, how your school has never done anything wrong, Ryan making a dubstep highlight video of the 2014 Idaho/Florida game, how we really aren't saying the worst things you can say about Birmingham when we say bad things about Birmingham, Bill Clark is coming back to UAB for ROLL DAMN VESTED PENSION, and what college towns do not have a Joseph A. Bank and thus cripple college coaches' ability to purchase the same suits. 41:01--END Reader mail, including the saddest games you can watch in 2015, the seasick feeling of being in Tampa in October, and how global warming as a Big Ten domination plot might backfire on them spectacularly.
