College Football 2017 Offseason: We're Not a Football School Anyway
- Thread starter Monroeski
- Start date
I accidentally posted the same thing in the OmahaGAF thread Haha.
It's great to be a Florida Gator.
Feels good to win our first baseball National championship.
So, Fox just gutted its CFB coverage, including a podcast I quite like, The Audible.
Sad day.
After the ESPN layoffs and now this, the Patreon/sub model needs to come to the sports journalism industry ASAP. The Audible is one of the few podcasts I listen to reliably, and I'd gladly throw a few bucks at them. Always have great coverage and Stewart/Bruce are some of the best CFB writers out there.

Yeah I saw that and did enjoy the Audible a lot as well. I think the Patreon model is going to eventually come but I feel like people getting laid off are going to try to exhaust conventional avenues. They're not quite where games press are but it's getting there.
From what Godfrey was saying on last week's Podcast Ain't Played Nobody, local beat writers aren't in much better shape. They're underpaid and overworked. Lot of the schools are involving beat writers less and less as they have their own media departments.

First of all, The Decided Schematic Advantage is the ONLY podcast you should ever listen to and the only podcast you need
Oh, snap.
Who?

go ok state. go pokes. woo.
Those are the two others in my CFB rotation. They're both great but the Audible filled a different niche since it was well accomplished journalists discussing the sport- no offense to Dan, Ryan and the rest of the SB Nation crew.
I think they'd all admit that the only one doing actual journalism on those SB Nation podcasts is Steven Godfrey. Though I do listen to them for entertainment.
Godfrey does do good work, and I appreciate what Bill tries to do with advanced stats.
Shutdown Fullcast pointed out how some lawyer podcast talked about the Stoops retirement sooner than they did. But I do consider them essential listening/reading for the casually-serious college football fan.
Solid Verbal is hit or miss. I tend to get easily annoyed with their game picking shtick, but their off-season stuff is generally better.
The other podcast I'll listen to is the Bullcast from GoodBullHunting (A&M SBNation site), mainly because they rag on TexAgs and other A&M oddities a bunch.

Pre-roll ads on youtube make "Rick Rolling" and other variants almost impossible in this day and age. Plenty of time to close the window during the advertisement

Not when you have Google Music sub and no ads on Youtube. Thankfully I saw mre fell for it so I don't have to.

Or when you have a specific add on thats 100% fake an no way real and would obviously never be used that makes ads not happen on youtube.
These are markedly better than the DSA.

Let that be lesson 2 to you kids out there. Never get for free what you already get for free.
I get it free because of my music sub. Locked in at $7.99/month for that too.
High five.

One day I'm going to make a youtube video that just says "Alexa! Play Rockytop by the Osbourne brothers!" and then i'll post it here in disguise. I'll also make a Okay Google version for those without the Echo. Technology warfare baby.
And Hopefully your headphones aren't plugged when you click it
Sorry, but our "Oklahoma State Fan" slot has been retired in memoriam. You'll have to choose somebody else.

For any uniform people out there, Toledo signed a 6 year deal with Nike for all their uniforms school wide. Football was previously Under Armour and the new designs are starting to come out. Best I have at the moment.
They kept the 2 tone helmet which I don't really like at all along with moving the "Toledo" font from the chest to the leg. They also reduced the size of the shoulder straps. Not a lot of yellow either. Hopefully we get a combination like this in the future though.

We're almost there. The Dark Days are almost over
Why did I know it was that song before I even clicked on the link?
Shit let's see...
It's gonna be a Zedd song that I like that they're gonna make me hate
Or go the NBA route and use rap, not K.Dot per se, but someone. Maybe Gucci
Or a pop song I like that they'll make me hate
Or maybe Way Down We Go by Kaleo
