The Carla and Crappy Show

It’s still the most wonderful time of the year, and as bowl season continues along its merry way, Carla and Crappy are more than happy to revel in its glory.

And boy, has this season been the gift that just keeps on giving.

We’ve seen Western Kentucky erase a 28-point deficit to win the Famous Toastery Bowl … and then make “toast angels” on the field. We enjoyed watching Appalachian State beat Miami of Ohio in the Avocados from Mex...

We love us some brown sugar-cinnamon Pop-Tarts.

And we love us some Bowlapalooza.

Together? You get nearly two hours of college football podcasting fun.

The bowl game season begins Saturday at 11 a.m. (#OUOhYeah), continuing through the next few weeks. And as we do here at the Carla and Crappy Show, we gathered up a few friends – and an avocado – to pick some of the games we thought will be interesting. 

It’s our 10.5th year of doi...

And somehow … we’re at Championship Week. Erm, ahem. Excuse us. That’s Champinchip Week. To celebrate, the gang’s all here as AJ – the nation’s foremost expert in Group of Five football – joins Carla and Crappy live to break down all 10 conference title games happening this weekend.

But before we get into the fun, we discuss some not-so-fun stuff, as Middle Tennessee head coach Rick Stockstill, a guest this past summer on this very...

When we reach the point of the season where we refer to weeks by names and not numbers, that’s when things are getting good.

And with that, it’s Wivalwy Week.

Carla and Crappy both got to watch a ton of feetball last weekend; Carla was impressed with Washington holding off a late charge by Oregon State in a heavy rainstorm, and Crappy was happy that Luke Fickell won the Wisconsin-Nebraska eligibowl (thank you, Sickos Committee). Co...

It’s Week 12 of the college football season … and my goodness, how thankful are we for West Coast football this week? 

Because if you’ve taken a look at the slate, there are a lot of cupcakes. Except for the West Coast, that is. Dang it all, we’re going to miss you, Pac-12.

Before we get into this week’s offerings, though, Carla and Crappy dive into actual college football news, including a slew of firings – one of which was really...

Oh, hi there, boys and girls. It’s Week 11 of the college football season. Carla’s voice is just about gone and Crappy is distracted (for the first time this year) by midweek MACtion and his Ohio Bobcats. So, yeah … just your normal week around these parts.

Before we get into some interesting stuff coming up this weekend, we look back at some fun results from last week. Clemson had an improbable win. Texas and Ohio State won … but ...

Hi there, boys and girls. It’s Week 10 of the college football season, Carla and Crappy are both in some semblance of Halloween attire … and Brian Ferentz no longer has a job.

But before we get into that, we take an almost-live look at the first College Football Playoff rankings — hint: They don’t mean much yet — before reviewing how absolutely wrong we were about just about everything last Saturday, particularly the dud that was t...

It’s Week 9 of the college football season and Carla and Crappy are both wearing black. One of us likes black jerseys; the other one is in mourning. (We’re willing to bet that you can guess who is who here.)

Carla, though, is more than happy to talk about the chaos that was the ACC last weekend. She absolutely, definitely, under no circumstances however wants to talk about that other little football game … but somehow manages to ta...

It’s Week 8 of the college football season, and yes, Ellie, “yay, feetball” indeed.

It’s here. The weekend that Carla and Crappy have been anticipating since … oh, the end of last season. 

Penn State. Ohio State. Drew Allar. Kyle McCord. Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen. TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr. And … Daequan Hardy? (Who?)

But before we get completely lost in that game, there are other matters a...

It’s Week 7 – the midway point of the college football season (if you can believe that already). Which means only one thing: It’s time for midterms. In true academic fashion, Carla grades her performance after last week’s parity-filled picks. (She passed, but barely.) Crappy, on the other hand, doles out failing grades to the USC defense as well as the Miami coaching staff. (Take a knee! Like, for real!) In the Big Red Bears Report...

It’s Week 6 of the college football season, and Carla and Crappy decide to attempt a fun exercise: Name the best five teams right now in college football.

It proved to be a much more challenging task than it originally seemed. We’re not sure Carla ever actually settled on five teams – it was more like six or seven – and Crappy had similar struggles.

Looking back at last weekend’s action alone, Carla questions Georgia and Notre Dame...

Kentucky. Kansas. Duke. Wait … did this become a college basketball podcast?

Nope. These are schools looking to shed their basketball-school reputations in some big time football games this weekend.

But before we get to the Week 5 action, Carla and Crappy recap the spectacularity (if that’s not a word, it should be) that was Week 4. Carla questions whether Florida State is as good as we initially thought, while Crappy gives us the ...

It’s Week 4 of the college football season … and if you’ve taken a peek at the slate for this weekend, your head may be spinning as much as ours are. So. Many. Big. Games.

But we don’t want to jump ahead of ourselves. True to form, last weekend’s schedule was lackluster on paper but ended up full of crazy, causing Carla to question whether this is the most parity we’ve seen in college football in years. Meanwhile, Crappy takes the ...

Hi friends! It’s Week 3 of the college football season and, well, let’s just say the schedule isn’t quite as enticing as the past two weekends have been. So much so that AJ has declared this weekend “Be A Family Person Weekend,” and given himself the week off.

Crappy and Carla are … kind of in agreement. So instead of a normal show this week, we shift into “Games We Care About” mode and get a little personal.

Before that, Carla rec...

We did it, everyone. We survived the mini-bowl week that the opening weekend of the college football season has become. And boy, was it a fun one. 

Carla had so many thoughts about Week 1 — including an undefeated uprising on the west coast — that she had to write about them. Crappy, meanwhile, was underwhelmed by — but not overly concerned about — Ohio State’s line play.

But, here’s the thing. There’s no rest for the weary. There ...

This is the week of a lot of exciting beginnings. Five straight days of college football. Teams and conferences on new television channels. (The 3:30 CBS song is ours now, thank you very much.)

We get to see new offensive schemes. New quarterbacks. Heck, Colorado is going to show us a whole new roster.

Fun times. And to ...

Howdy, boys and girls. It’s time.

There are Actual. College. Football. Games. on the schedule for this weekend. And that means the gang’s all here to make Season 12 of the Carla & Crappy Show officially official.

But first, we have some housekeeping to take care of, including a quick update on the Pac-4 and conference realignment situation … which, of course, changed shortly after we recorded this show. (Typical.) On Wednesday,...

For the third year running, college football has blown up with some big news as the season approaches — and even though we’d already done a summer show, the demolition of a century-old storied conference nudged AJ, Carla and Crappy to get back together and assess the new lay of the conference land. 

The migration of Oregon and Washington to the B1G and Utah, Arizona and Arizona State to the Big 12 apparently came together with bl...

The Fourth of July weekend is still in our rear-view mirror, so it’s the height of summertime — which makes it perfect for the Summer 2023 edition of the Carla and Crappy Show.

And what a show it is.

Prompted by a prediction that Crappy’s Bobcats will play the show’s beloved Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders in the pinnacle of postseason destinations – that would be the Bahamas Bowl – Carla got in touch with Middle’s sports information...
