Broken College Football Rivalries

Ball and Order ·

2020/12/04

For college football rivalry week, Gabe and Alex try to find rivalries that have been broken recently. These traditions may be broken due to the games not happening anymore (West Virginia-Pitt, Miami-Florida, Kansas-Missouri), a trophy being taken away (Kentucky-Tennessee), or just one team being way worse than the other (Michigan-Ohio State). We go deep into all of these rivalries and more. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at

BYU is back in championship contention in a very weird 2020 college football season. But it's not nearly as crazy as the year where BYU actually won the championship in 1984. Gabe Ibrahim and Alex Lange get into how stupid the 1984 season was, how BYU ended up with the trophy, how much they miss independent teams and, of course, talk extensively about Syracuse and Kansas football. They also make fun of the Trump Campaign's last stand at Four Season Total Landscaping. See Privacy Policy at

Many have claimed that the 2020 College Football season will be unprecedented. However, college football has already been through a pandemic-riddled season in 1918 when the "Spanish" Flu ravaged the country.

In his first NBA playoff action, Luka Dončić put up historic numbers for the Dallas Mavericks that can only be compared to the greatest players in NBA history. So that's what we did.

Manute Bol was a larger than life figure, both literally and figuratively. Alex tells Gabe about Manute’s story and Gabe tries to decipher what is true and what is not. As the hosts of Ball Through The Ages watched Bol Bol tear it in up in the NBA bubble for the Denver Nuggets, they started thinking about Bol’s father: Manute Bol. Manute, at 7’7”, stood out to NBA fans due to his height. But, he also stands historically for the tall tales about him, such as why he once hit a reporter in the head

When Lebron James took his talents to South Beach, he was supposed to lead the Heat to not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 championships.

The United States Men’s Soccer team is not a football/soccer powerhouse (to say the least). But in the 2014 World Cup, the USMNT led by head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and goalie Tim Howard brought the team to the precipice of greatness. The US got through the group of death and advanced to play Belgium in the Round of 16. On paper, the Americans had no chance against the Belgians. But after 92 minutes, the score was tied and the ball fell at the feet of Chris Wondolowski right in front of a relatively
