The crew is a little light this week with the Sandman bowing out last minute due to an emergency, but no worries because the incredibly talented Brandon Lewis, a big friend of the show and one half of the amazing St. Louis Syndicate, steps in and delivers. With Week 1 of college football in the rearview mirror, the guys have plenty to be happy about but they still have to kick things off not with celebrations but with some rants and things that irritated them in week 1. They cover pundit overreactions, unfair criticism of stars after one bad game, and one host’s least favorite broadcast duo in the business, Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt. From there it is time for Hot Takes, a much more positive segment, with plenty of love handed out. The guys highlight standout quarterbacks like Garrett Nussmeier and Carson Beck, surprising wins from Miami and Florida State, and an Ohio State team that looks every bit like a defending national champion. They also discuss whether Kalen DeBoer is already on the hot seat, show love to Lee Corso in his final GameDay appearance, and agree on who now stands as the face and voice of college football (spoiler alert: their choice won’t surprise you). Next comes Stone Cold Locks, where everyone drops three of their best bets for the coming weekend, mixing in some NFL action this week for good measure. Finally, they wrap up with a fun and nostalgic Top 5 countdown of their favorite childhood toys. The list includes classics like Etch A Sketch, Yes and No Invisible Ink games, and the legendary Super Soaker. Even without the Sandman himself, the boys soldier on and deliver another classic episode filled with insights, breakdowns, betting tips, and plenty of laughs. So hit that play button and let’s get rolling.
