Week 0 – wow, what a freaking week. So many things to cover but lets consolidate it to just a couple moments. Not only did we get the youtube-trained kicker draining an end of game winner to topple Stanford but we also had an international brawl after Farmageddon. Wait, hang on, did we see that right? Is that purple on purple crime? Let’s just quickly break this down. Not only does Avery Johnson’s brother have to put up with being less successful than his carrottop look-alike brother, but now he publicly gets his ass beat by his dad and it goes viral? I mean, how do we top that for the rest of the season?! FSU Defensive back enters the chat….I guess you could stay things are getting pretty serious.
Week 1 Pro Tips:
- Shocker, Cracker Barrel caved. It was clearly inevitable, but here is our ‘stay woke’ for the week. Are we on the heels of a commercial where Shane Gillis and Post Malone sit down at a Cracker Barrel <insert some banter about the peg game> and Peyton Manning walks up to be their waiter. This is the one year anniversary of the Bud Light rebrand with Shane Gillis and the chess not checkers move here would be rinse and repeat just as football season kicks off to drive a major comeback after a minor setback.
- Never underestimate the business savvy of Coach Prime. The man will always find a way to seize an opportunity. In this case, the newest sponsor of the Colorado Buffaloes will be Depends – yes, the adult diaper company. Based on some new NIL deals, toilets on the sideline might quickly become a growing trend.
- Supposedly conference alignment will continue to be a hot topic over the next 5 years with the Big 10 supposedly expanding to 20 teams by 2030. Could somebody point them in the direction of Heidi Montag and remind them that continuing to grow bigger and bigger isn’t always the right decision?
TOS GAME OF THE WEEK
Marshall at #5 Georgia (-39.5) 2:30PM CDT
What we like about this game: I realize you’re wondering how a game with over a 35 point spread could be our game of the week, but hear us out. First off, you’re already pumped about the marquee matchups so you’re welcome for giving you a reason to pay attention to this game. Second, Marshall is ALL ABOUT THAT SMOKE. No really, they want ALL THE SMOKE. Ok, we’re listening…..
What we love about this game: Look we’d be crazy to say we think Marshall is going to go into Sanford Stadium and walk out with a W, but when we start talking about the cover things really get interesting. Marshall might have the most turnover in the entire country, which means there is zero film to help with preparation and every dude out there is fighting every snap for more reps in the future. Couple that with the fact that Kirby Smart notoriously uses these automatic Ws to see new guys and keep things vanilla. All of a sudden we have a slam dunk cover. Book it!
