Surprise! Back after a two-year hiatus, and this time with a co-host! Meet Karlee from TikTok and Instagram's "The Girlies Guide to Surviving College Football" series. This podcast is your SparkNotes version of everything happening in sports - no four-hour deep dives, just what you actually need to know to be part of the conversation.

In This Episode:

The Cowboys Tie Drama: We break down last weekend's Cowboys-Packers game that ended in a 40-40 tie and apparently sent fans into a psychological crisis. We explain the controversial NFL overtime rules, why ties even exist, and why a psychologist had to weigh in on fan reactions.

College Football Tea: From the LSU vs. Ole Miss game (where the Ole Miss coach's daughter is dating an LSU linebacker) to the Bill Belichick/UNC situation that's not going as planned, we're serving all the behind-the-scenes drama you actually care about.

Fantasy Football 101: Karlee shares her journey from knowing absolutely nothing about football to joining a dynasty league (yes, it's as intense as it sounds) and creating her own fantasy team based entirely on NFL nepo babies.

What to Watch This Weekend: We preview the upcoming games worth your attention, including Florida vs. Texas in the Arch Manning era, Alabama vs. Vanderbilt, and why the TCU vs. Colorado game has us stressed.

Plus: Why ChatGPT failed us during research, conference realignment chaos, rushing the field gone wrong, and why Georgia just cannot beat Alabama no matter what.

Whether you're brand new to sports or just need a refresher after ignoring football for two years (guilty), this is your safe space to ask questions and get answers without feeling lost in the jargon.

Questions or topics you want covered? Send them our way—no question is too basic!
