The Carla and Crappy Show

The sounds of snare drums and whistles echoing across college campuses can only mean one thing: It’s time, friends. The best sport in the entire world … and our moment of joy … is back.

Welcome to the 14th season of the Carla and Crappy Show.

The gang’s all here for our extended season preview episode. Carla, Crappy and AJ begin by recapping our offseasons and answering questions about Mannings and the Big Ten. (Any surprises there...

Well, friends, here we are again. There’s just one final game remaining in the college football season, which means that this is the final show of the 13th season of this here little pod.

One of us is still feeling the agony of defeat in the semifinals. One of us is feeling anxious over the chance of winning a national title. And one of us is in a hotel room already excited about Week 0 next season. Yep. That seems about right.

We ...

A new year is upon us, and as this new era of college football continues, there are many important questions still to be answered.

How rich can the lore and canon of the Pop-Tarts Bowl truly become? What happened to Alabama? How good is the Big Ten? (We’re looking you squarely in the eyes, SEC.) And, most importantly, is it a valid marriage if a Cheez-It officiates the wedding?

Yes, we’re being just a bit ridiculous here, but that’...

We’ve reached the time of the year when, as the meme suggests, “we don’t know what day it is, what we should be doing, and we’re full of cheese.” While that list is nearly perfect, it doesn’t include that you can turn on your TV at almost any time and find a college football bowl game to watch.

Hi, friends. We hope you’re enjoying your holiday and Bowlapalooza seasons and basking in their glory. AJ, Carla, and Crappy certai...

Hi, friends. We interrupt your Bowlapalooza viewing (and we do hope you’re enjoying the early bowl games!) for, well, something that we’ve never done before on The Carla & Crappy Show. And that’s because these games have never been played before … in some cases, literally in multiple ways.

Welcome to our first-ever #CnCShow CFP First Round preview.

Because we have just four games to evaluate, Carla, Crappy, and AJ take some tim...

The conference championships have been decided. The College Football Playoff field is set. And so that can mean only one thing: It’s time to debate which coach we’d like to see get doused in mayonnaise.

Yes, friends, it’s time for the 11.5th Annual Carla & Crappy Show Bowlapalooza.

This year, in addition to being joined by long-time Bowlapalooza staples Jake Rose and Braden Gall, we add two newcomers to the frivolity: Steve Cav...

It’s Week … oh, you know what? Who cares what week it is? We only care about one thing: It’s Champinchip Week, friends.

The dust has finally settled. (We’re looking at you, Big 12.) The matchups are set … and some are unexpected. And at least five of this weekend’s nine games have playoff implications. It’s gonna be a fun one.

But before we get into breaking down every title game this weekend, we take a look back … which is easier ...

It’s the final week of the college football regular season, and you know what that means — it’s rivalry, or, uh wivalwy week. And while of the conference drama has settled down since last weekend, there are still plenty of scenarios — we’re looking at you, Big 12 — to be decided on Friday and Saturday.

Week 13? It was utter chaos, and it left Alabama likely out of the playoff picture and cemented Kansas as the scariest 5-6 team i...

It’s Week 13 of the college football season … and AJ is deep into spreadsheets, if/then formulas, and opponent cumulative winning percentages. And that can mean only one thing: Either he’s got way too much time on his hands … or we’re getting close to the end of the season and conference title games. (Hint: It’s the latter. Mostly.)

Hi friends. Yes, believe it or not, there are just two weeks left in the regular season … and approx...

Have you ever tried to record a podcast while a MAC game is in full-on MACtion mode, resulting in an overtime contest with a combined 99 points? 

Neither had we. Until this week.

Hi, friends. Welcome to Week 12 of the college football season. And if Tuesday night is any indication, we’re in for a wild ride. But that’s what usually happens when the slate appears to be a little lackluster. And guess what we have this week? Yeppers. B...

It’s Week 11 of the college football season … and nothing makes sense.

Sure, MACtion is back, and we’re as excited about it as ever. And yes, the Big 12 looks like it’s definitely going to enjoy a potential buffet this weekend.

So why, then, is Carla wearing a “Yay Feetball” sweatshirt during the week when she hates college football? What was Penn State’s fourth-quarter goal-line play calling all about? What happened to Clemson? An...

It’s Week 10 of the college football season and friends? For what we believe to be the first time in the 13-year history of The Carla and Crappy Show, there are no games that kick off after 8 p.m. ET Saturday. Yes, really.

No, AJ is not OK.

But when we reflect on last weekend’s action, AJ starts us off on a good note, as his week was bookended by two spectacular wins by Kennesaw State (on Tuesday) and Hawaii (technically on Sunday)...

It’s Week 9 of the college football season, and boy, was last weekend a lot of fun.

North Texas at Memphis was the fireworks factory that we expected. Georgia went full beast mode and dominated in Austin. And even the home radio announcers were incredulous about Indiana’s throttling of Nebraska.

Also, we now live in a world where Indiana and Vanderbilt are ranked, and The Team Up North isn’t. Everything is weird in 2024.

And now th...

Crappy may be ready to talk baseball, since his Buckeyes had a less-than-successful trip to Eugene last weekend, but Carla and AJ — with the help of an Aaron Judge homer — brought Crappy down to earth in time to go through another week of college football, when several teams seem destined to FAFO (if you don’t get the reference, our friends at Urban Dictionary can help you, uh, find out).

We always look back before we look forward,...

During last week’s Week 6 edition, we low-key mentioned that it’s the “underwhelming” weeks on the college football schedule when chaos and weird stuff can happen.

And then … boy, did it ever. So the gang’s all here live this week as we break down the first “blood week” in college football since 2022.

It arguably started with SMU knocking off Louisville and continued with Texas A&M demolishing Mizzou. But it didn’t stop there. ...

It’s Week 6 of the college football season, and friends, it’s time to catch our breath. As expected, last weekend was a wild ride. And we’ll just go ahead and say it now: You’ll want to clear your schedule for next weekend. 

But this week? While there is a bunch of intrigue on the slate, there aren’t a ton of marquee matchups. 

As always, before we look ahead, we look back at last weekend and go lightning-round style in our recaps ...

It’s Week 5 of the college football season, and what we know for sure is this: You’ll need as many screens as humanly possible for the primetime window on Saturday.

We have a jam-packed slate ahead of us with so many games with intriguing storylines, we had a super hard time whittling them down. And also … add the extremely likely possibility that a bunch of these games will be impacted by heavy rain from a tropical system. That al...

It’s Week 4 of the college football season, and we’re getting into the beginnings of conference play. This means that yes, the gang’s all here as AJ joins us live because we all need to remind ourselves of which teams are in which conferences. And in 2024, it also means locating the CW on your channel guide. 

Before we get into this week’s action, we look back at what was a busy weekend of, well, a lot of things. Despite AJ spendin...

Welcome back to the Carla and Crappy show, the title of which Crappy apparently just remembered this week — and with it, a mini Wivalwy Week right here in the middle of September and some breaking news from the West Coast, courtesy of our #GroupOfFiveAfterDark correspondent AJ.

We look back before we look ahead, and Week Two was huge for the Mid-American Conference, with one massive upset and one mighty uncomfortable game in Happy ...
