False Start - College Football Podcast John Buhler and Cody Williams

Episode 73 calls for a celebration of the 1973 Almost Famous Tour with Stillwater. John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) pay homage to Cameron Crowe's cinematic classic featuring their doppelgängers Russell Hammond and Jeff Bebe and a true masterpiece. 
How does Almost Famous help us talk about Lane Kiffin being the hunted, middling college football programs, Deion Sanders and Brian Kelly on the recruiting trail, and the early college football hot seat watch (with replacements!)? Guess you'll have to come along for the tour like William Miller and then catch us again in 1974... or at least Episode 74 next week. 

Nobody likes you when you're 23.

But when you turn 33, and enter your Jesus year, the world is your oyster, brother.

As Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) becomes clearer than Larry Bird in Space Jam, John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) helped him make sense of all the nonsense they did to entertain themselves in the first week of May in college football.

From college football rev share, to putting Shedeur Sanders on a team, bruh, they've got you scattered, smothered and covered, man. If you loved The Sleevies, get ready for The Freshman 15, some Just Like Novocaine with blink-182 and an extra special surprise...

They don't own the rights to 30 for 30, so 32 for 33 seemed like a fair way to go. Who knew that Buhler was an aspiring graphic designer? Who knew Cody was a noted art critic? False Start, Episode 72 was as off-the-rails as you could have ever imagined.

Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes are the lightning rod in a hurricane of the college football offseason and the transfer portal, with the social media receipts to prove it. Meanwhile, former Florida State and now-Bills receiver Keon Coleman is blaming... checks notes... Georgia (?) for the Seminoles' hapless plight in the CFP. 
Plus, the spring transfer portal window in college football is hard to figure out, Matt Rhule is singing on stage at concerts and vibes are high for Nebraska, and then we break down betting on Dave and Busters games along with some evaluations of things we've learned and things we refuse to learn. Spoiler: It's more than just math for the latter!
John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) are deep into the college football offseason and may not even see the rails to be on at this point. 

We could stomach one last slice of pumpkin pie.

While Mel Kiper Jr. can never get his fill of pumpkin pie filling for breakfast, the guys tied a bow on what was an eventful 2024 NFL Draft for everyone involved.

In a shocking twist of fate, Nick Saban got to see one of his kickers get drafted while devouring his second of two oatmeal creme pies for breakfast, or an afternoon snack in this case.

In between shoveling shepherd's pie down their gullets, Dubliners need to have the Busch Light ready for Farmageddon in 2025. Kansas State and Iowa State will drink that town dry ahead of their Week 0 kickoff game in two years.

John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) were more America than baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet on the 70th episode of False Start. It has been a long draft season, and the boys need a nap badly.

The first round of the 2024 NFL Draft is now in the books and we're breaking down the our favorite picks in the Top 32 along with our head-scratchers and a whole category of its own going to Buhler's Atlanta Falcons leaving everyone shocked and appalled by picking Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8. 

Plus, Jaden Rashada portaled to Athens as the Georgia QB in waiting. Then we're joined by the great Adam Weinrib to talk NFL Draft memories, Antonio's Spring Break, and our college football connections to the catalogue of Sublime. Love is what we got!

John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) are joined by Adam Weinrib (MLB Director, FanSided) for a NICE episode of False Start. Maybe the nicest yet!

A promise is a promise.

Jim Harbaugh is a man of his word, and got the cheapest Michigan 15-0 championship tattoo $110 can buy. He may be a champion, but Jerry Kill has better arm ink, bruh.

Deion Sanders is getting lapped by Joey McGuire in the Big 12 recruiting race. The man won't leave Boulder, resulting in his sons to recruit players over social media in the transfer portal.

As Kadyn Proctor walks back to Alabama with his tail between his legs, we wonder where guys like Jaden Rashada, Damien Martinez and Cormani McClain will transfer to.

Plus, Arch Manning's Texas spring game has people losing their minds. Take a chill pill.

John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) read and react to all the madness the college football world provided them in the latter part of April.
