Oh hey, episode came out today. Bama over Mizzou, Hoosiers make a statement, so long James Franklin, the refs are terrible and so is Auburn's 2nd half offense, we do rankings, the NFL is fun as long as you're not a Ravens or Cowboys fan (😶), Aces dynasty, MLB playoffs, stuff.

Programming note: Greg is on a new work schedule, so our release schedule is gonna get a little wonky for the time being. We will record tomorrow night, and the show will release Tuesday. Next week, we’ll record as usual on Sunday and the show will post Monday. It’ll alternate like that for awhile.

Today begins the glorious time of year when we are blessed with 49 straight days of football. May this holy season bring you joy.

Lololololol

Delay of game and then you follow with a WR screen to burn your only TO? Woof.

I’m told there’s an audio glitch in the episode where our outro song starts playing midway through the show. I’ll fix that this evening when I get home from work.

Y’all already know what we’re talking about this week. Bama rides a dominant 2nd half to a revenge win over Vandy (still feels weird to say), Florida drowns the Horns in the Swamp, and Penn State suffers one of the worst losses of our lifetime. Other stuff, too. Put your ears on it.

Oh hey y’all, started a new job today so totally didn’t do our usual Monday episode reminder. This week we talk the Tide rolling in Athens, big wins from Oregon and Ole Miss, the end of the Sam Pittman and Mike Gundy eras, some NFL, MLB, WNBA and more.

Hugh Freeze, offensive mastermind.

This has been an absolutely outstanding night of college football.

Big 12, baby

Oof, bad returner, don't play hero ball.

TCU defender gets facemasked while tackling the RB by his sleeve... and gets flagged for a horsecollar? Christ officiating is so bad right now.

God Tim Brando is an obnoxious twat.

We appreciate Auburn and Oklahoma State for waiting until after our usual recording time to break their coaching news. That way when we come back this weekend it’s appropriately timed.

Holy shit the SEC did the right thing and gave Bama Auburn, Tennessee, and State.

Reminder that there’s no show this week while @td2kool.bsky.social is out of town.

Whole lotta gamblers pissed off at Oregon after that series. Line 34.5, lead is 34.

This week we talk a lot of football, obviously. Because it’s football season. Specifically, we cover Alabama, A&M’s grand theft in South Bend, Florida’s terrible night, UGA finally looking like UGA, and more.

Ugly series after that great catch, though. Dropped pass, false start, dropped pass, sack. Woof.

The Ravens strategy of signing DeAndre Hopkins to make one Grown Man Catch per week is paying off so far.

I know UCLA has been bad, but what exactly have they put into the program? Foster is clearly a scapegoat for a program that clearly doesn't care to invest that much into football.

We did indeed put out an episode this week, just been dealing with kid stuff all day. We react to the first 2 weeks of the college season and the opening weekend of the NFL. You can even hear the exact second TD goes numb from watching yet another Ravens 4th quarter collapse.

Yesterday’s results saw Blaine, Mal, and Greg all go 1-2, while I snuck out with a 2-1 day. Today, both Blaine & Mal have the Bills +1, Greg has the Ravens -1, and I stayed far away from that game and took the Bengals -5.5.

Does anyone know why we can have YoutTubeTV multiview on our phones but not our laptops?

No show this week with TD out of town. Plus, it gives the guys a chance to compose their thoughts about yesterday’s debacle, and not just shout expletives for 90 minutes straight.

Time is running out to sign up for our college pick ‘em group, where you’ll take on fellow Takers for a chance to win some TOS merch! Exciting! fantasy.espn.com/free-prize-g...

Of all the things I could say about the Parsons trade, I'll say this: thank god he stayed in the NFC. As a Ravens fan I absolutely DID NOT want him in Buffalo. Now, what Greg might have to say...

Don’t forget to sign up for our pick ‘em group and compete with fellow Takers to win some TOS merch. fantasy.espn.com/free-prize-g...

OK, as promised the Alabama/SEC Preview episode is up. It is a LONG one, unsurprisingly, clocking in at just under 2 1/2 hours. There's also a little Week 0 chatter, some reactions to the CFP and SEC news from last week, and a review of our predictions for this season.

Had some work stuff come up, I'll get this episode up in just a bit.

Just wrapped up our Alabama/SEC preview show, and boy is it a long one. Might not get it fully edited tonight, but I'll definitely get it done as soon as possible in the morning. In the meantime, check out our predictions for this season: thealabamatake.com/blog/2025-co...

Coming next Friday is the against-the-spread column! Before then, here are your two chances to play college football pick 'em! thealabamatake.com/b...

As promised, our predictions for the college football season are up on the site. We didn't do half bad last season, let's see if we can do even better this year. thealabamatake.com/blog/2025-co...

Now that we’re done arguing about whether the SEC should add a 9th game, we can start to argue about everyone’s protected opponents.

This week we preview the wild wild west of the Big 12. Is it possible to have an entire conference of wild cards? Yes, yes it is.

Next time Tony Pettiti holds a press conference I want a reporter to ask him why he took a job as Big Ten’s commish when he so clearly hates the sport of college football.

26 auto bids in this idea. Why even have a playoff at that point? In a sport full of dumb ideas, this is by far the stupidest nonsense I’ve seen yet.

In case y'all missed it on this week's episode -- or if you haven't listened yet, in which case just what the fuck is your problem? -- the TOS College Pick 'Em group is up on ESPN. Like last year, I'll send a t-shirt/hat/whatever to the winner. Join here: fantasy.espn.com/free-prize-g...

Ok, show is posted and should be in your podcast feeds soon if not already. This week we talk ACC football.

We recorded our ACC preview last night, but when I went to edit the last half hour of my audio was gone. Working with Squadcast now to try to recover it. Keep y'all updated.

Does he? His best finish was second in the west with a 6-2 record in 2015. His biggest accomplishment was beating Bama back-to-back — but neither of those wins prevented the Tide from winning the conference. His two career conference titles came in ‘09 at the NAIA level, and ‘11 at Arky State.

OK, show is up. There's the Big Ten preview, of course, and a little MLB, NFL, and Summer Slam talk at the end.

Editing now.

We record our next college football preview episode tonight, focusing on the Big Ten. Like in the past, we’ll break down the conference into contenders, wild cards, and basement dwellers.

We’re back with the start of our yearly college football preview series. This week we tackle the G5 conferences, highlighting one point of interest each in every league.

We return on Monday with our G5 preview! In the following weeks we’ll preview the P4 conferences, Alabama, and do our yearly predictions (which actually were pretty solid last year).

In a career full of dumb takes, this might be the dumbest one yet.

Unless his source is Miss Terry, it ain’t happening.
