Felder Friday - Has the lock been picked?

College Sports Now ·

2025/09/05

You guys already know the drill by now; on Fridays, we bring in Felder to talk ball alongside Hartzell and the Doc. No guest today because we got beaucoup games to break down and talk through. The Felder Five is loaded, plus Hartzell has some 'and-1' games that not enough people are talking about. Picks segment gets spicy because the so-called Lock Doctor either can't get his prescriptions filled or maybe the lock has been broken. Either way, the big fella needs to get back on track after a

Week Two Preview with Phil Steele - And why is Wayne...

College Sports Now ·

2025/09/03

Wayne's alma mater lost 43-10 last Saturday so we all know why he's cranky. But the real story is how well Devon Dampier played - so we ask Wayne to hand out some grades from notable week 1 QB performances and Professor Cook hands out some pretty lofty grades all things considered. Phil Steele swings by for his run-through of the week 2 card, including the real main event on Friday night between Louisville and JMU. Wayne and Hartzell talk Alabama, Michigan, and Oklahoma on the way out the door.

2025/09/02

We all saw the same thing Monday night. UNC is down bad. Let's move on, no need to beat that into the ground for the full show. What did Roddy think about LSU's win at Clemson? Texas' slow start at the 'Shoe? Notre Dame going down in a close game in South Florida? We got a lot to get to and not a ton of time (because Hartzell actually works for a living ... supposedly). Tripp gets his victory lap because the Noles are back? People are saying. Some of the West coast, late-night QB play from

2025/08/27

It's happening, people. The loaded slate of games that is Week One starts tomorrow and doesn't stop until Monday night in Chapel Hill. The only question now is, do you enough Diet Mountain Dew like Phil Steele does to get you through all these games? Phil stops by for a 30-minute jaunt through the dance card, plus offers some thoughts on value plays outside of the top 25 - which involve the MAC so I highly suggest you tune in for those. Wayne has some thoughts on Chapel Bill that must be heard

A heavy dive into the Southeastern Conference is on deck today, thanks to Chris Phillips from SEC Unlimited dropping by with his preseason takes. Who does Chris like to make it to Atlanta?

Summer is over, folks. Kids are back to school, college football season is a little more than two weeks away, and our man Wayne Cook has a lot to say about the sport we all love. The guys are breaking down Wayno's top-5 storylines going into the season, and Hartzell is doing his best to NOT talk about a certain school in LA coming off a 5-win season.
