Hosts Blake Giles and Jim Hardin preview a big weekend in college football, including Alabama at Georgia, Oregon at Penn State, LSU at Ole Miss, Georgia Tech at Wake Forest, and Notre Dame at Arkansas. Blake quizzes Jim on the top 10 Heisman candidates, as listed on ESPN.com. How is it that David Weeks did not mention that his son Whit, an LSU linebacker, is dating Landry Kiffen, daughter of Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffen? And LSU plays at Ole Miss this week. Landry says she’s pulling for her dad’s team. How did Oklahoma get away with what Jim calls the Lonesome Polecat, which was his first suggestion for the name of this podcast. Auburn’s quarterback got sacked for nine time, because he held on to the ball too long. Clemson looks like toast after its loss to Syracuse. But the Orangemen were fined for faking injuries to slow play down. Jim asks about Dabo Sweeney’s defensiveness around the media. Kirby Smart is in his 10th season and is at the pinnacle of his profession. Mark Schlabach does an excellent profile on ESPN.com, which appears that Smart gave Schlabach access that he normally does not give to the local print media. On the high school front, Hebron Christian rocketed to No. 1 in the private class with a win over a strong Blessed Trinity team. Prince Avenue Christian won 59-34 over Westside of Anderson, S.C., which came to the area for the first time since the late 60s, when it played Burney-Harris, the black high school in Athens. Blake found an old story that mentioned some Burney-Harris players. Athens Academy’s Josh Alexander won his 100th game as a head coach. Jackson County beat Clarke Central by 50. Cedar Shoals lost to unbeaten Walnut Grove on a late field goal. East Jackson goes to 5-0 and gets ranked for the first time ever, just in time to play No. 1 Hebron Christian. Oklahoma State fired its head coach, Mike Gundy. Jim and Blake reminisce: Mike Rozier was a questionable role model. Bruce Pearl was a great basketball coach at Auburn. They remember Georgia’s great win over Alabama in 1976. Also, the 1965 flea-flicker win, when Blake was sitting in the high school bleachers. $2 seats where the president’s box is now. Would instant replay have overturned the play? What about in 1968 when Tennessee scored a TD and two-point play at the end of then game to tie Georgia? Channel 5 got tricked into running a bulletin on TV that the SEC Committee for Fair Play had reviewed the play and reversed the call and given Georgia the win. Turned out to be a hoax that the station put on the air.
