On this early-November day in Tuscaloosa, Johnny Manziel became Johnny Football. The A&M star cemented his Heisman Trophy campaign with a performance for the ages against an all-world Alabama defense. The guys look back on a wild, coming-of-age performance and outline all the usual cast and story arc details. Plus, they've got some thoughts on how everything went down with Manziel. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
We've got a loaded Casual Friday pod with not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 of our friends joining the pod. The guys caught up with Peter Burns, Jacob Hester and Tom Hart, and they talked all things quarantine life. Plus, Jay Woody joined the guys for a new trivia-based segment "Stump Marler." Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
This might be the most heated Heisman Trophy debate ever, both then and now. Charles Woodson's 1997 Heisman Trophy victory over Peyton Manning still gets Tennessee fans' blood boiling. The guys attempt to go down that road by digging into why it was/is a debate, what people were saying, the worst take you can have about his debate, what we forgot about this debate and where we stand. Let's talk it out. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
It's Casual Friday, so let's talk about something everyone has an opinion on — celebrities. The guys answer all sorts of questions about famous people and share some stories about some encounters they had with celebs. Plus, Facebook group moderator Jay Woody joined the guys to tell his backstory and how he found SDS.
The guys did something a little different today. Yes, they did a full recap of the classic 2013 LSU-Georgia game, but before they dug into that, they talked about the circumstances surrounding Mike Leach's tweet. With so much discussion about the reaction, the guys wanted to share their thoughts on that. As for the 2013 LSU-Georgia game (19:35), they went through everything that made up one of the games of the year that season. From the cast to the superlatives, this game was star-studded with a Hollywood script thanks to Zach Mettenberger's return to Georgia. The guys offer up a full breakdown of the wild afternoon in Athens.
The guys made up a debate. That's right. Why not? In a week in which we'd be talking about crowning the winner of the NCAA Tournament, the guys debated the merits of Florida basketball's repeat in 2006-07 vs. Alabama football's repeat in 2011-12. Why did they do this debate? What were people saying at the time? What's the worst take you can have about this debate? What did we forget until revisiting this? And where do the guys stand? They answer all of those questions. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
The 2014 season was bananas. Absolutely bananas. Instead of just recapping one game from that year (which the guys did last week with Auburn-Ole Miss), they went into the entire year that was in the conference. From the coaches and the A-Listers to the breakout performers and prominent extras, there were no shortage of those. The guys recap the Katy Perry College GameDay and break down the first ever Playoff show. Plus, they have the typical "Jadeveon Clowney reminder that normal human beings don't play this sport" and the "Trent Richardson I can't believe they didn't make it in the NFL." They close with what they forgot until researching, what would've happened with flipped results and the play/image they'll always remember. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
What a fitting discussion topic for Casual Friday. The Netflix doc "Tiger King" is all the rage, so the guys decided to devote an entire 4th and Wrong to discussing it. They dig into a variety of subjects. They go down the road of conspiracy theories, whether Carole Baskin fed her husband to her tigers, what the most messed up thing they saw was and everything in between. Let's get weird. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
One of the great "what-ifs" in SEC history in th 21st century is about 2004 Auburn, so the guys tackled the Tigers' anticlimactic ending to that year. Specifically, not playing for a national championship. The guys dig into why the Auburn-Oklahoma debate was and is relevant. Plus, they discuss what people said at the time, the worst take to have about the debate, the thing I didn't know/remember until researching this and what side of the debate they fall on. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
Let's get weird. On Casual Friday, the guys have a full slate of 4th and Wrong questions related to the hardwood. They answer a variety of basketball-related questions from the Saturday Down South Podcast group on Facebook. Oh, and they end with something that you're just gonna have to hear to believe. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
The guys take a trip back to 2014 to revisit the thrilling showdown between No. 3 Auburn vs. No. 4 Ole Miss. The game that became synonymous with Laquon Treadwell's devastating injury and fumble on the goal line was one that the guys had to dig into. They outline the cast (directors, A-Listers, breakout stars and prominent extras) and outline their choices for a variety of categories, including the favorite line from the broadcast, the coldest take from the broadcast, the Jadeveon Clowney reminder that normal people don't play this game and the Trent Richardson I can't believe they didn't make it in the NFL. Plus, they discuss what they forgot about until researching this, what when the losing team blew it and what they'll always remember from this game. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
In this week's debate, the guys dig into a debate they've discussed many times. Should Darren McFadden have won a Heisman Trophy? In order to answer that question, the guys look back at both the 2006 and 2007 races that saw him finish as runner-up. They discuss why they were/are a debate, what people said at the time, the worst take one could have about the debate, what we forgot until researching this and ultimately, where we stand. Troy Smith supporters might not enjoy this podcast. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
In their first-ever "Casual Friday" podcast, the guys do something that's in their wheelhouse — power rank the characters on "The Office." There was some healthy debate, and ultimately a consensus on who the best characters on the show were. Who had the better list? Also, the guys answer 10 questions in an extended 4th and Wrong to close out the week. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
Because you're probably missing college basketball right now, the guys offered up something that will hopefully ease the pain. They looked back at the bizarre circumstances that led to Georgia's 2008 SEC Tournament run. The unprecedented tornado that ripped through downtown Atlanta and hit the Georgia Dome meant that the Dawgs, as the worst team in the SEC, had to win 3 games in 2 days. The SEC Storied documentary "Miracle 3" set the stage for the recap the guys offered up. They dug into the characters (director, A-Listers, prominent extras) and the story arc (favorite line from the doc, thing you didn't know or forgot until re-watching this, what would've happened if the result was flipped and the image we'll always remember from this). Take a stroll down memory lane with a recap of one of the strangest SEC events of the 21st century. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
Y'all, we've got you covered during #SocialDistancing. In a revamped SDS Podcast, we have some exciting news to share. In our first installment of this sport-less time, we've got an all-time debate to discuss. The guys break down the 2015 Heisman Trophy with Derrick Henry and Christian McCaffrey. Why was/is it such a great debate? What did people say at the time? Where does Marler stand on it? Also, the guys break down the worst takes about the debate and what they didn't know/forgot until researching this. Connor closes by sharing which side of the argument he falls on. Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
