atlantic coast conference

The Hornets hosted their first-ever ACC Night, highlighting the rich college basketball history of the region. But unfortunately, Buzz City wasn't able to pick up a win, dropping a 113-92 decision to New York. Sam Farber and Rob Longo break down the game and highlight their silver-lining performances, while Sam sits down for a special one-on-one interview with ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips.

Friend of the Show & Returning Guest Mike joins us to talk basketball after a HUGE week. Blake Hinson went nuclear in Cameron Indoor to take down #7 Duke on the road to snap Pitt out of a cold funk of losing 4 games in their last 5. Of course we've got to talk about it! Pitt follows it up with a solid win against GT, so we're back discussing the expectations and realistic goals of the team, how they've grown, Jaland Lowe/Bub Carrington, Fede, and what we want to see going down the stretch (and uniforms).   

Pitt football also got two gifts this week. A starting QB in spring ball (Nate Yarnell), and their schedule was released from the ACC offices and we're salivating over it. We're getting our hopes up way too early. Again. Also discussing Eli Holstein and Pitt's QB decisions in depth with Mike on the show.

If there's only four spots... SOMEONE'S going to be an unhappy #5... but do they have a point this year?

Solo show from Zack. UNC punked us and we're staring down a toilet bowl in Lane Stadium on Saturday. Not much to preview here (both teams fucking suck) so we're leaning on the audience to give us their dumbest predictions for the game on Saturday.

Nothing matters, fire Frank Cignetti, follow the show on twitter, eat at Arby's.

Sally Brown is a former neighborhood developer, philanthropist, lover of horses, mother, and wife to Mack Brown, who is in his second stint as head coach of the University of North Carolina's football team. Sally reflects on the 16 years she and Mack spent coaching at the University of Texas, and the decision they made to get back into coaching in 2018 after a 5-year hiatus. She and Kristi bond over unusual places they've sat to watch games and share their do's and don'ts for coaches' wives.

The boys pick apart the Louisville loss and give their read on what's not working for Pitt offensively, why it's not working, and what might have to change. We also recap the rest of ACC action and other important games from Week 8 of the college football season.

The gang's all here, baby.

Following some quick recruiting notes including a silent commit and Hykeem's next visit to campus, we talk about the preseason AP Poll, who got snubbed, who was overrated, and did they get Pitt right at 17? We welcome on @B1G_Ryan from Flipping the Field and Meet at Midfield on to the pod to do some recon on our conference and to figure out who are enemies are in the ACC. Make sure to follow the pod on twitter @semplefipod and to follow and rate 5 stars if you like it!

We were in the middle of some lovely conference previews when the Big 10 had to go Sicko Mode and assimilate USC and UCLA into the conference. The year of Chip Kelly continues. The boys talk about what they expect the B10, P12, and B12 to do in the immediate future, and what the future looks like for the ACC. We're sending Syracuse fans to hell and their football team to the MAC. Play in an outdoor stadium and maybe you wouldn't be here, cowards.

The latter half of the episode is about gambling. We talk some interesting win total over/unders (found here https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/odds/win-totals/ ) and way-too-early Week 1 point spreads ( https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/odds/las-vegas/ )

Our inaugural round of season previews move forward here at Semple Fi as we move eastward across the country towards the ACC. This week we welcome on Jawn Iver (@jawn_iver on Twitter) from the QB Draw Podcast to help us with this week's conference:  the Big 12. We might go off the rails a couple times, but we would never forget to slander WVU and the Burnt Orange along the way. Suffice to say, if we were playing in the Big 12, we'd be getting several penalties for throwing some obscene horns downs.

In ACC news, the new 3-5-5 schedule dropped! The boys open the episode talking about Pitt's three new permanent opponents and how we feel about them, as well as looking around the rest of the league to see who got shafted and who made it out without harm. This episode may or may not include the potential welcoming of Saudi dark money in order to carry out a coup within the FTF air force. You'll never know without listening.

We host our first game on the show, but first...

This week, we welcome on our third host of the show, Mason!

We start the show by wrapping up the Addison Saga before diving into the new ACC 3-5-5 scheduling proposal.

The second half of the show, we invite you to a Tuesday night party at the Sigma Phi frat house, where we are joined by friend of the show Isaac (@issacbloch20) to draft a team of specialists. Drinking specialists that is. We're doing a super case race, and we're taking five sitting head coaches to prove their worth by downing a 30 rack of beer, a bottle of wine, and a fifth of liquor as fast as their bodies can handle.
