Saturday Down South Podcast

Remember when LSU won its first national title in 4 decades? Well, it wasn't without controversy. The Tigers splitting a national championship with USC, who was No. 1 in the AP Poll, doesn't sit right for plenty of LSU fans. The guys got into that discussion with all sorts of takes from the bizarre set of circumstances that the BCS created.

The guys have a classic game from a classic rivalry. When Georgia rolled into Jacksonville in 2005, the Dawgs were unbeaten, but a bit out of sorts without starting quarterback D.J. Shockley. Both defenses showed off why the SEC was loaded with elite players in 2005. The guys break down all of the characters and storylines that led to one of the great chapters in this rivalry. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

The guys dug into something they brought up plenty of times on the podcast. That is, how many SEC teams would've beaten 2012 Notre Dame? The guys have plenty of thoughts on the Irish and how they would've matched up with the 5 teams who are part of this discussion. They also hit on some things they forgot since the Irish's 42-14 drubbing at the hands of Alabama in the BCS National Championship. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

Well, the guys decided to let the listeners decide our next "It Just Meant More" game and low and behold, they settled in 2019 Georgia State-Tennessee, AKA when a 2-win Sun Belt team stunned Tennessee in the season opener. The guys recapped a bizarre day on Rocky Top, and they got a special guest to add some context to what turned out to be a historic day. This one will definitely go down as one of the most unique games that the guys have done, but they certainly had some fun with it. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

The guys decided to each consume a form of entertainment of their co-host's choosing. For Connor, that was watching Marler's favorite childhood movie "Hook." For Marler, that was listening to several songs from Connor's favorite country artist Jon Pardi. Let's just say the guys have a lot of thoughts. They dig into that, plus some 4th and Wrong questions. And hey, they even had time for some "Stump Marler." Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

After doing a Debates Down South podcast about the SEC's most disappointing teams of the 21st century, the guys took the other side of the coin. Who's the conference's most surprisingly good team of the 21st century? Is it obvious? They map out a few parameters before settling on a Top 6. The guys discuss why we thought these teams wouldn't be good, and why they proved us wrong. Did they agree on their No. 1 choice? Stay until the end. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

Because of a deal that Connor and Marler made, it was Marler's turn to settle on a game of his choosing for It Just Meant More. Not surprisingly, Marler went with 2013 Alabama at Texas A&M. A pair of national title contenders faced off in a shootout for the ages. The 2-time defending champs squared off with Johnny Manziel following his Heisman season and wild offseason. The guys have tons and tons of takes from a classic game in College Station, including a special surprise in the middle of the episode. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

For the second week in a row, the guys got into some real stuff. Former Tennessee receiver Jayson Swain joined the guys to talk all things Tennessee, racism, Johnny Majors and much more. The guys closed the show out with an edition of Stump Marler that, let's just say, went a little too smoothly. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

The late Tennessee legend was the subject of today's Debates Down South. The guys talked about an extremely controversial year in which Paul Hornung took home the award despite his 3-13 TD-INT ratio for the 2-8 Irish. So did Hornung deserve to win? Or was there somebody else who got an even tougher deal? Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

The guys have an all-time game to look back on. In honor of the late Pat Dye, the guys decided to dig into the game that became a launching point for his time at Auburn. In a showdown with Bear Bryant, true freshman Bo Jackson's 4th-down score gave the Tigers their first Iron Bowl win in a decade. The guys looked back on the circumstances surrounding that, as well as the characters who played a part in this monumental game. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

We've got tons to get to on Casual Friday. The guys led off the pod with a discussion of Jake Fromm's poorly-worded text that went viral. They were joined by former Kentucky linebacker Kash Daniel, who opened up on his mental health issues, the Kyle Trask incident and much more. The guys closed Casual Friday with Stump Marler with Jay Woody. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

Let's stay on the 2020 theme and talk about disappointment. The guys have an interesting discussion to dig into as it relates to that. Who was the SEC's most disappointing team of the 21st century? There have been plenty of them. The guys narrow the list down to a "Flopped 5" and look back on the preseason buzz and postseason autopsy of each of their seasons. And of course, they answer the most important question at the end of the episode. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

We picked the longest game in NCAA history to recap because it was all sorts of wild. The epic 7-overtime thriller in the 2018 regular season finale was the last game that LSU lost, and ironically, it was probably the most important game that Jimbo Fisher won. The guys have a full recap of all the people and moments that fueled a crazy, unpredictable, never-ending game. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

The guys are back with ... actual football news? At the time of the recording, there were reports of J.T. Daniels committing to Georgia (he committed immediately after they stopped recording). The guys break that down, plus, we've got a full Casual Friday with a golf edition of 4th and Wrong and Stump Marler. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler

The guys have an interesting discussion to get you through your post-Memorial Day weekend hangover. Excluding Nick Saban, who's the SEC's best coach of the 21st century? With a couple of key parameters in place, the guys break down a list of 7 candidates. They go in-depth with the cases for them and the cases against them as the SEC's No. 2 coach of the 21st century. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
