    RIP Tony the Tiger

    College bowl season just got a little less GR-R-REAT. The Sun Bowl is waving goodbye to Tony the Tiger, and Cheez-It’s jumping ship from the Citrus Bowl. Are the days of absurdly named, snack-sponsored bowls coming to an end? Kevin and Ciarnan are back with the “dumb fan” rundown on what these vanishing brands mean for the sport – and who’s next on the chopping block (defend the Pop-Tarts Bowl at all costs). The guys get into college football chaos, from legendary sponsorships and hilarious bowl name history to the week’s wildest upsets and self-inflicted losses (Oklahoma and Oregon, looking at you). Plus: sideline drama between Steve Sarkisian and Holly Rowe, savage fan bets, and Oregon & Dan Lanning's new James Franklin energy. Is Kevin actually cursing teams with his bad betting luck? Find out which squads have become his latest victims. Subscribe for banter on sideline interview etiquette, fans eating their own (literally), Alabama’s offensive woes, and a closing debate about Miami’s break-up with Adidas. College football is never boring – and the shenanigans just keep piling up. Timestamps 00:00:00 – Goodbye Tony the Tiger: Snack sponsors leave iconic bowls 00:04:10 – Bowl name history, Cheez-It vs Citrus, and why the Pop-Tarts Bowl must survive 00:11:45 – Oklahoma and Oregon: Collapse central, QB carnage, and quarterback numbers no one respects 00:20:00 – Coaching chaos, firings, and the art of being “consistently confused” on the sideline 00:35:00 – AP poll meltdowns, mid-team misery, and why Kevin can’t pick a winner 00:54:40 – Dabo’s $57M buyout: What could he really buy? 01:00:00 – Miami escapes Adidas, Nike nostalgia, and closing takes Website: https://bellyupsports.com/quad-tailgate/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/QuadTailgate Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/quadtailgate Bettor Vision: https://bettorvision.us/

    SEC to Ban LSU and Week 0 Was a Dud

    Is LSU still trying to bring NFL players back to college football? The circus in Baton Rouge hits new lows as the SEC looks ready to explode, coaches get roasted, and the only thing crazier than the rules may be the boosters’ side bets. College football’s wildest offseason kerfuffle lands at LSU’s feet, and drags the rest of the SEC into the muck with them. This week’s episode dives deep into LSU’s legal loopholes, alleged betting schemes, and the ripple effects threatening the very sanity of college football. The conversation focused on disastrous attempts by SEC powerhouses to wage war with eligibility rules, why school-wide punishment isn’t off the table, and how coaches like Dabo Swinney and Lane Kiffin get themselves tangled in the mess. One concept discussed was the dangerous precedent set when conferences and courts clash, opening the floodgates for more chaos. 0:00:10 – LSU's SEC disaster and legal wackiness 0:04:42 – Why school-wide bans aren’t just talk 0:11:08 – Betting on bonuses, boosters gone wild 0:13:19 – Lane Kiffin’s notorious side, Saban’s warning 0:18:35 – Dabo Swinney finds himself… right?! 0:20:50 – Week 0 recap: Chaos from Idaho to USC 0:31:37 – TCU’s off-field meltdown and media blackout 0:35:55 – Winners, losers, and attendance shame 0:40:02 – Week 1 bets + Ciarnan's weather 0:47:11 – Should we crowdfund a trip to the Kibbie Dome? 0:50:00 – Meme-worthy college football rosters
