Parkside Podcast

Oklahoma, L. LSU, L. No one is safe this season. Miami is rising. Mississippi State is out to show that they really don't care about who you are. Like a great basketball coach once said "Pass the damn ball!". And pass they did. Next week Oklahoma could lose again and we don't know if we can take it. Did we also mention that UCF is still winning? Just wanted to remind you incase you forgot. Thanks for listening and follow us on Twitter. 

Oklahoma State was an absolute joke Saturday. Why and how the hell can Notre Dame consistently be ranked in the top 10 when they don't play like a top 10 team?   If you have a good reason, hit us up on Twitter. Next week the SEC starts to play, which means goodbye to some lesser schools. Also, why hasn't UCF made the CFB PLayoff yet? As always, thanks for listening! 

When you poorly plan a college football season, you get this joke of a season. I also talk about how bad Iowa State is at football. Also, how do you decide a national champion this year? Seriously, I don't know. Hit us up on twitter and tell us. Just type in "Saturdays In The States" and tweet or message us. We need ideas. 

Due to the state of where we are with COVID-19, I felt that it was time to address the possibility of not having a college football season as well as what the plan is if the season is pushed back. Stay safe everyone! 

LSU. Clemson. Tigers. Tigers. Death Valley. Death Valley. Lawrence. Burrows. We break down the most anticipated game of the yer and make our bold prediction! and I accidentally call Joe Burrow Justin. 

This past week we were exposed to some great bowl games. We got also got to see on a national stage how the word "defense" is not well known by the Big 12 at all. On the other side of things we witnessed arguably one of the greatest college football playoff semifinal games ever. The good news is that we can rest for some time as we get set for what could possibly go down as one of the greatest college football games ever- Clemson vs. LSU

Well at this point in the bow season we are at a miserable 3-5 start to our bowl predictions, but in our defense, we had no clue Washington would roll over Boise State. Going on with our predictions, we see some easy wins and some games being closer than others. The best bowl game to watch this week will probably be the Holiday Bowl. Yet, at the end of the day, all most of you care about is what we think will happen in the two semi final games. If you skip ahead to the 25:30 mark, we break both games down and why we think those teams will win. SPOILER ALERT-  It's LSU against Ohio State for all the marbles! 

Regardless of the score, the Army-Navy game was beautiful in every way. From here o out it is nothing but bowl games. Here at SITS we will be picking every single one to see how much or how little we know about each program. After each weeks slate of games we will update you on our record. Hopefully we finish above .500. And lastly, some guy from LSU won the Heisman. Whatever that means.  

This weekend we saw who were truly champions as well as who were not. We discuss how to judge each final four team after their performance in their championship game as well as how each one will compare to one another based on how they did over the entire season. We also remind you to tune into the Army-Navy game! 

This past rivalry weekend we sat and watched as another piece of the playoff puzzle was put into place. Michigan showed us how mentally soft they were once they got down, and Ohio State Showed us how dominant they can be off of mistakes. The Iron Bowl was a block buster of a game and for some, it made them even more happy knowing that Bama will not be in the playoff this year. With how all of the games ended up this past weekend, it set the stage for the Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC championship games to feel as first round playoff games. Win and your in.....as long as Georgia loses to LSU.  All of that on this weeks episode! 

This past weekend, we saw Ohio State beat a quality opponent while we watched Oregon lose to one they never respected in the first place. That puts Oregon out of the playoffs and Utah in. For now. This episode we talk about what things need to happen in for there to only be one SEC team in the playoff. Trust me, it's not that unreasonable. We then break down the big time rivalry games that will take place this weekend, from The Game (OSU vs. Michigan) to The Iron Bowl (Bama vs. Auburn). With all of the great rivalry games that take place this weekend, all we can do is sit back and watch the madness unfold! 

A lot happened that will effect the fate of the season as it goes on. Tua is out for the rest of the season, which pretty much puts Alabama out of the playoffs. Alabama could end up with 2 losses! Minnesota failed their second test at Kinnick, but now they must switch their focus on the Axe. Michigan is getting hot at the right time, which could ed up putting them in a great position to compete against Ohio State. Oklahoma completed an amazing comeback, but how legitimate was the competition? Speaking of competition, Utah and Oregon could both make the playoffs. One of the two are guaranteed the opportunity for a spot, but who will come out on top? All this on this weeks episode!   

COULD COLLEGE FOOTBALL GET ANYMORE CRAZY!? LSU beat Bama to prove that they are out to kill, as well as potentially take away some recruits. Minnesota beat Penn State, the funny thing is that they still have two more challenges ahead of them-  go on the road and win at Kinnick Stadium as well as beat Wisconsin. Speaking of Wisconsin, could they be anymore excited to ruin Minnesota's season? Also, the Big 12 is a joke. Oklahoma should not have let Iowa State even get close to smelling victory, but that's what happens when you have a conference with NO DEFENSE. This next Saturdays slate of games still has a lot at stake- UGA vs Aubun. Wake Forest vs. Clemson. Now is when we start to see who is a legitimate contender.  

This past Saturday SMU fell to Memphis which left the golden ticket available for a ton of teams to still potentially get into the new years six bowls, such as talented Cincinnati or SDSU squad. Nebraska lost another close game, which means we found out one more thing wrong that coach Frost must fix- he needs to continue to recruit more talented players. Willie is gone after he failed at beating The U, hopefully Harbaugh does better when he faces Ohio State. While we are on the subject of winning, next week could be the biggest week of the entire season. Undefeated PSU at undefeated Minnesota. #1 LSU at #2 Bama. Rivalry match up between #18 Iowa against #16 Wisconsin.  With this much going on all in one day, I suggest you don't blink. You might miss it. 

The Big 10 is running the table with the most ranked teams this far into the season. This has made some upcoming games very interesting as well as important when it comes to playoff implications. Nebraska fans should be happy as Scott Frost now knows exactly what to fix going into year three. Ever since LSU fixed their offense, they have become red hot and appear to be the only team that can beat Bama. Speaking of getting beat, Oklahoma's loss showed the nation what is wrong with how the Big 12 plays football. With the next few weeks proving to be very important in terms of the playoff, I would say that no team looks perfect, except for Ohio State. Oh, and SMU, App. State, Baylor, and Minnesota are still undefeated. In case you forgot. 

This past weekend in college football we learned a lot. Georgia and Wisconsin are  not who we thought they were. Alabama and Clemson are showing some signs of imperfection. The only teams that seem to be winning consistently are LSU, Penn St., Ohio State, and SMU. That's right, SMU is still undefeated. Another thing that we need to acknowledge is that Jim Harbaugh could be on the hot seat next season. While we are talking about things no one wants to accept, I'll put it out there- In the next two to three seasons, Kansas could be playing in a new years six bowl game. All this and much more on this weeks episode!  

This past week we got our answer- LSU is DBU. For as great as we thought Georgia was, we learned that it is hard to be a perfect team. Penn State got a big win at Iowa to separate themselves from the rest of the pack, more of that to look forward to next week from other teams. When it comes to Nebraska, we need to be patient, it is slowly coming together. Give it time. Also, Minnesota hasn't lost a single game yet(but they haven't played anyone yet). Jalen Hurts proved a lot this week, especially to me. hats off to him. this and more on this weeks episode!

A lot happened this past week. UCF lost AGAIN. Michigan won an ugly game that only made them look worse. Iowa won, even though they lost. Nebraska is slowly improving, and while we are at it, we are going to say it now- LSU will beat Bama. But before they do that, they need to beat a very strong Florida team that is slowly earning my respect. While we are on the subject of respect, have you ever looked at SMU lately? All this and much more on this weeks episode!

On this episode we talk about how this past weekend we saw various aspects of what it takes to be a successful football coach and program throughout the episode. From here on out, it is nothing but quality football, the paid games are over (0:10)! The Clemson game was definitive of how every team has no more guarantee wins for the rest of the season(6:08). For as horrible as the Nebraska game went, this will still be a great season for coach Frost (15:10). Ohio State is near perfect (20:23). we then go over this weeks coaches poll (sorry, the AP poll had not come out yet)  and then go over the implications of next weeks games! Thank you for listening.   

On this episode we go over why it is important to not give credit to those who don't deserve it (LSU, Bama). Kansas will be a real threat, but not for the next couple of seasons, no seriously. Michigan needs to spend more time in the film room while Wisconsin needs to get ready for a historic season. Even though UCF lost, they still need our respect. Yes, the title is right, Bama could miss the playoffs this year. To find out more about the past week in college football, have a listen and just be thankful your team isn't paid to lose to bigger schools. all this and more on this weeks episode!
