    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/

    Michigan is Still Cheating and LSU Lacks Institutional Oversight

    Is Michigan’s football legacy built on scandal? This week, Kevin and Kiernan take no prisoners, torching the Big Ten officiating circus after Michigan’s jaw-dropping "phantom second" win, roasting conference corruption, and asking: is Dabo Swinney finished at Clemson? Plus, conference chaos, wild upsets, and the freshest takes on the most controversial week in college football. FCS upsets, power grid disasters in Tallahassee, and Big Ten shenanigans are just the start. The guys rant on everything from replay catastrophes to why college football media might secretly hate the sport. They count their winners and losers, break down fresh AP polls, and close out with unfiltered betting advice you won’t get anywhere else.

    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

    What is Going on in Baton Rouge?

    Chaos breaks loose as Week 0 arrives! Did the SEC and Big Ten just declare war on pro athlete transfers? Kevin and Ciarnan return from break to tackle college football’s off-season disasters, the mad NIL world, and the most hilarious AP preseason poll moments you’ll hear all year. If you think college sports are wild, buckle up! This episode brings SEC and LSU madness, gambling scandals, Twitter beefs, and the dumbest NIL deal in ages. With riffs on everything from TCU’s Irish mapgate and the “Axis of Evil” at LSU to Rice’s prophecy against Notre Dame and the strategic brilliance (or saltiness?) of Ohio State’s rivalry reset, you’ll get sharp takes and signature banter. The duo also drop season betting picks and reveal their “mid-teams” of the year, putting their “vibes over logic” reputations directly on the line. 00:00:00 – College football chaos erupts, the latest NCAA and SEC scandals, and post-vacation hot takes 00:07:00 – Baton Rouge goes nuclear, FBI bug sweeps, LSU’s “Axis of Evil,” and NIL lunacy 00:15:00 – TCU’s Ireland mapgate, Twitter beefs, and meme-worthy school social media fails 00:21:00 – AP preseason poll roast, Notre Dame’s hope (and pain), plus Indiana’s disrespect 00:33:30 – Betting picks, wild season-long bets, and mid-team reveals 00:44:42 – Closing vibes, Brentford/Tottenham suffering, and off-the-rails banter   Website: https://bellyupsports.com/quad-tailgate/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/QuadTailgate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/quadtailgate Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@quadtailgate

    Tulane Brings the Mardi Gras Heat and Purdue's New AD is an Idiot

    This week, Ciarnan and Kev break down Purdue's new athletic director and his questionable comments about Indiana, the Hoosiers' rise to the top of college football, and why Michigan apparently isn't that interested in its biggest rivalries anymore. They also roast Texas Tech for calling itself the "most hated" team in college football, celebrate Tulane's new Mardi Gras uniforms, and discuss why anonymous coaches might be the worst trash talkers in the sport (or at least the biggest cowards). The guys also dive into conference and national championship odds, including some absolutely ridiculous longshots, before debating which underrepresented teams they might cover this season. College football is almost here. The takes are already flying.  0:00:00 – Back in the saddle: College football hype, intro rants, and conference stupidity 0:06:00 – Purdue AD’s wild comments, Indiana’s big flex, and athletic department shade 0:12:00 – Michigan and Ohio State rivalry hot takes, Underwood’s $10M question, and hate-fueled football 0:18:00 – Joey McGuire’s villain origin story, Texas Tech’s “most hated” delusion, and Tulane’s jersey drip 0:24:00 – National championship odds, sleeper picks, and mid-table mayhem 0:30:00 – Conference champion odds: Big 12, ACC, Big Ten, and SEC debates and disrespect 0:36:00 – Dark horse SEC chatter, LSU’s schedule gauntlet, and picking underrepresented teams 0:42:00 – The “mid” curse, bowling for sadness, and closing chaos

    The Indiana Hoosiers are Cowards and We Hate Paul Finebaum

    College football is finally here... well, almost. This week, Ciarnan and Kev get into everything happening before Week 0, starting with the latest scheduling drama as more home-and-home series disappear from the sport. They also discuss the growing influence of prediction markets, why that could change the way fans consume college football, and the dangers that come with it. The guys also react to Vanderbilt's latest uniform reveal, Akron's wild promotion that lets a random fan call the team's first offensive series, the preseason Coaches Poll, Nick Saban's latest comments, Paul Finebaum stirring the pot, and another round of NCAA legal drama. Plus, they debate whether Notre Dame should finally join a conference before wrapping things up with a few completely unnecessary rants. We are so back.  0:00:00 – Back in college football month! Jersey patch drama, series cancellations, hype videos, and preseason feels 0:06:00 – Home-and-home cancellations: Indiana-Notre Dame, cowardly scheduling, and rivalry returns 0:12:00 – Akron lets a fan call the first series: chaos play-calling theories and Zips marketing genius 0:18:00 – Legal news: NCAA 5th-season injunctions, transfer chaos, and conspiracies 0:24:00 – Jersey patches out of control, Vanderbilt’s unbranded look, and hilarious merchandising mishaps 0:30:00 – Breaking down the preseason Coaches Poll: snubs, surges, the Penn State “sweet spot,” and portal panic 0:36:00 – Top 5 teams: Is Ohio State scary?
