The biggest villain of college football is us, the fans. The only time a segment of fans are happy is win their team wins. When that doesn’t happen, you hear everything from it’s the refs fault. The head coach doesn’t know football. I would have made that play. The system needs to be burnt to the ground. We are never happy, we tear each other apart, and we are all football experts. Source- comment section.

How can anyone hate Big Noon? I get to watch a big game at Noon, 3:30 and 7:30. The worst weekend are when all the games I WANT to watch are played at the same time.

[@williamwagner79]

My thoughts exactly, the fact that they're gonna say that Big Noon is some kind of villain, all because of Penn state that probably 95% of the country could give a crap less about.

[@Barefootseal_66]

Because I’m a Buckeye fan I have other things to do on my Saturday’s. No one was in big noon prison more than we were this year, it makes it impossible to use Saturday’s for anything other than TV watching and in the fall there is plenty more to do than sit in front of the TV.

[@captainspartan04]

Because games are better late in the day because it gives you time. Even if you try to go to a noon game at 10 you’re already stuck in traffic

[@Nowledgeman]

​@@Barefootseal_66I was gonna say this... As a vol fan, almost all my games were in the late evening window so this was the first year in a long time that I didn't have to miss a game for work

[@Braeden.F]

Because we big ten teams have to play EVERY big game at noon. If it was shared amongst the entire league it would be fine. But as an OSU fan, we are forced to play at noon for literally every top 25 matchup we ever have. It's horrible

Not a ND fan at all, in fact I have two horrible memories of ND UT games. It is truly good for CFB to have ND back in the top. I was wrong about their team too. I said they were going to get demolished in the playoff because they lost to NIU but then they go beat Georgia and Penn St

[@derekjancart215]

I know focus is not NFL, but wondering what NIL and Portal impact could have on NFL draft. With players deciding to take another year of NIL vs going to JETS or Cleveland and etc. I get the feeling a group of players that were jumping early in the past will be inclined to stay in college football longer.

Josh, Tim Tebow was a villain the same way Kurt Angle was one when he started in WWE. The audience rejected the clean-cut, upstanding guy encouraging people to do the right thing because they wanted a baby face in the mold of Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Rock.

[@rockytoptom]

Kurt Angle played the Heel though. And Tim Tebow was a part of a team of thugs, drug dealers, rapists and even a murderer but he played with them anyway and everyone KNEW the whole time they were getting paid under the table.. that's a lack of character. All that religious bs was clearly a show from him for a persona build

Nah, I knew who President Frank Underwood was. Nice reference and nice catch with the town. Pretty quick on the uptake. Don’t blame you for clarifying who it was though, because I wouldn’t be surprised for any number of people to have no idea who that was and think you just imagined some fictional president from history that doesn’t exist.

[@kylecheney347]

What is your coaching grade on Aaron Roderick, BYU's offensive coordinator?

[@spidey475]

You should probably mention Brady Quinn coming out and saying he was mad at BK for leaving ND and saying they didn't have the support to win a Nation Title and how he started a collective so ND could go buy players. Might have something to do with them winning again.

[@hopefulamerican]

I'm thirty so a bit younger of a fan, lol. But I really enjoy the noon kickoff. It's my favorite time slot, but it's just my opinion. Michigan fan for reference

[@JH-sj4pf]

The term dynasty however, can be divided into two categories, modern dynasties (say in the last 20 years) and historic dynasties (60-100 years) So many of the teams on that list would qualify as historic dynasties.

[@stevelenores5637]

I can't what until Tuesday. Then all we have to worry about is high school player commitments, the NIL, the NFL draft, and speculate on the UM sanctions. However I don't see any of the proposed rule changes making officiating better, so I'll settle for a change to NFL style kickoff to reduce injuries.

[@charlottejerde1021]

I drunk texted in the live chat and completely missed this entire episode.

[@Makusa-qc2qd]

I grew up in Nebraska in the 80s and we loved to hate Bosworth. As obnoxious as he was, he wasn't a bad guy (unlike, say Bill McCarthy at Colorado). And he was brilliant. There were enough stories going around that most people knew "The Boz" was a character that he played. I knew an O lineman on the Nebraska team who Bosworth trash talked in the media. (I won't say his name because he's never told this story publicly.) When OU played Nebraska, the Boz had a bad game and the lineman showed him up a little, and the lineman made a few gestures on the field to let Bosworth know that he was getting the better of the Boz. But a few weeks later, the two happened to get seated on a plane next to each other. The lineman said Bosworth was extremely nice and funny in real life. They became good friends for many years later. Bosworth was a brilliant marketer. The Boz is certainly a villain, but Brian Bosworth isn't.

[@robryno]

1:08:50 "Which friend? I got four of em" Underrated LMAO comment ❤ []_[] JOSH

It's always better when a team raises the bar for a few years. It elevates everyone. Auburn doesn't have two SEC titles and a natty without Saban raising hell with Alabama

Im gonna sound like Josh for a few sentences. The golden age of college football was before I was born, or when I was a teenager. College football is undeniably in a good state rn, I’m a Michigan fan and these playoffs have been controversial, exciting, unpredictable, inconsistent, isn’t that what college football is?

The only thing that ND has ever meant to me was when I watched Rudy. I mean, maybe Brian Kelley coming from ND when he joined the LSU coaching staff meant something in terms of ND. But even when that happened, i was more into his sudden southern accent and the fact that we didn't have Cookie Monster as our head coach. And to be fair Coach O did get us Burrow and a Nat'l Title. But Brian Kelley was breath of fresh air. Regarding that sudden southern accent, all i can say is we tend to rub off on them yankees. We can't help it. Lol, LorT this comment when off on a tangent.

As far as villans go, people seem to hate a winner. It's a sad statement of their lives, but it holds true when someone just keeps winning. Jealousy is an ugly character trait. So is envy. One can be both a villian and a dynasty, a hero so to speak, at the same time to different people/fan bases.

just remembered the time josh ranked florida state as the "best program in the acc" a year ago around this time

[@Onetime614]

A lot of people did though.

[@Andrew-pm9ws]

There’s always doubt Josh, but I along with a lot of faithful felt freeman was the guy from the moment he was introduced to the team. That player reaction was just different than everything we’ve known for 3 decades. Charlie Weis close for half a minute but couldn’t sustain it or run a defense. Freeman is different and this team is differwnt

[@GoatedAtNFS]

everyone bashed Ole Miss for losing horribly to Florida, in which they did. but I keep stressing to people how good Florida was once healthy and when Mertz went down for the season. Florida beat LSU Ole Miss and would’ve beaten Georgia if DJ Lagway hadn’t of gotten hurt. all this happened in a BAD year, especially in the start. they started with the #1 SOS and ended with the #3 SOS. they return the same schedule next year. unless FSU somehow turns it around, Florida goes 10-2. remember: a lot of freshman started in the SEC last year. a lot of those freshman are part of the loaded 2027 QB

[@Edward_USMC13]

No doubt Florida is loaded with talent and is on a very good trajectory but you act as if people actually care about ole miss. They are perennial losers and a threat to nobody at the end of the day 🤷

“Time and its passage changes all things. One place, however, has sustained a spirit and a tradition for so long that its story has evolved into legend.” -NFL FILMS’ JOHN FACENDA. When you ask, ‘What is a dynasty?’ Let me propose another viewpoint. 100 years ago this month, Jan 1925, Notre Dame won the Rose Bowl and a national championship. Flash forward, it’s Jan 2025. Notre Dame is once again playing for a natty. Between these two dates, 11 national championships, and a chance for #12 on Jan 20th. That’s averaging > than 1 natty every decade FOR THE LAST 100 YEARS.
