When you put it like that ...

Love having SZD to forensically break down this move in ways that I hadn't thought of before. Good podcasts always do that.

That’s why the move for 2026 for coaches looking for easy PR will be CAT DADDY

We saw a vibe shift in performative dogs in college football

The best 10 bucks a month I spend, without question. Kudos to Alex & Richard (and friends of the program) for creating the best sports - not just CFB - podcast out there. Delighted to hear the state of SZD is in good health 🤝

Appreciate everyone's feedback on the state of the union. Glad we did this. See you in the podcast feed on Monday

unbelievable that Richard (and apparently multiple listeners) have rejected "the Zonies" in favor of "the Splitty Dees"

NEW EPISODE The 2025 Zony Awards, feat. guest @rodger.bsky.social. In feeds or here: www.splitzoneduo.com/p/2025-cfb-a...

Charlie Becker found the guy he was gonna go after

Indiana's championship run is real and it still boggles the mind

Carson Beck was really good until he wasn't, which was during important moments.

LAST HURRY-UP OF THE YEAR IS OUT Pictured: You diving into your podcast app to listen to it

Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers are champions But the success story you've been told is backwards youtu.be/YpHCzVWo8iU

Who does national champion Indiana receiver Charlie Becker remind you of?

So happy for this guy. Since we were both just little brands in brand kindergarten, he's been so genuine, making sure all the other brands would play with us and that we understood the importance of meeting deliverables. And now this!

This was how I started my day today, excellent stuff
