Single Wing: New Conference Expectations for Everyone from Texas to Army
Godfrey's insisting that everyone pick a Sun Belt team to ride and/or die with in '24. Plus, did the NFL kill USC's L.A. vibes? And let's set an expectation for every single FBS team changing conferences this season. The Big 12 is a Las Vegas buffet, and it's 3 a.m., baby. Production by Anthony Vito.
Throughout May, The Single Wing is free for everyone thanks to Magic Mind. If you’d like to hear The Single Wing all year and ask the questions that help Godfrey build the show, become a paying subscriber to SZD today.

College Football's Unwinnable But Righteous TV War With the NFL
College football (including its TV partners) usually gets out of the NFL’s way. But when the 12-team Playoff arrives this December, the two levels of the sport will be head-to-head in a way they almost never are, especially since college’s powers that be made a tactical retreat from Thursday night. Is it surprising that the Playoff and ESPN would counterprogram the NFL? Was it avoidable? Should we, as fans of the sport, care? And why is CFB finally so comfortable existing on its own, even on the same day as the NFL? Production: Anthony Vito.

Single Wing: Clemson's bottom line, UCF's shopping aisle, and a battle with impostor syndrome
In this solo show, Steven Godfrey's trying to figure out why Clemson's O-line can't match its D-line, why BYU was (is?) dirty, if Army/Navy has a Rose Bowl mentality, and how NFL markets affect local college teams. Production: Anthony Vito.

How golf is college football
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com
As a postscript to last week’s newsletter about college football coaches’ golf handicaps, Alex and Richard discuss several football-adjacent golf topics. Has golf supplanted college football as the sport that’s most being harmed by its executive leadership? Is Hugh Freeze really that good? (Trent Dilfer definitely is.) Why is this the preferred offseason hobby of two-thirds of Split Zone Duo? And what, exactly, will happen at this week’s PGA Championship?

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com
Ohio State played host to one of the most bizarre commencement speeches of all time this month, when alumnus Chris Pan pitched graduates on Bitcoin and attempted to lead the Buckeye crowd in multiple singalongs. D.J. Byrnes writes The Rooster, a newsetter covering Ohio and its politics. Last week, Byrnes’ publication broke the news that Ohio State’s president, Ted “Slapshot” Carter, broke with recommendations from an advisory committee to select Pan. What was happening there, and what does it reveal about the leadership structure bewteen one of the most powerful institutions not just in higher education, but college sports and the entire Midwest? D.J. joins Alex to talk about it.

Godfrey has lost the plot
I hope espn has hired this man because the playoff water carrying during the last month is absurd

Alex has good politics
I’m just in it for whenever he inserts them into the show. Don’t know much about cfb, just watch enough to know it’s dubs down forever.
