Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson thought something was up when the Louisville defense read the Demon Deacons’ plays like they knew what was coming — even with plays Wake Forest had never used before. Teams have had spies for as long as college football has existed, but Wake was dealing with something entirely new: The plays were being stolen by someone standing on their own sideline.

No, we don't talk much about the actual games this week. Maybe that's a mistake and they'll all be really good and have a bunch of upsets.

Because we continue to be plagued by "we can't actually send new podcast episodes out to anyone for some reason" problems (which we do explain to the best of our ability in this show), we made the brave and brilliant decision to embrace a new and emerging form of technology: the conference call. What you're about to hear is us and 700 muted guests* doing something roughly like our usual weekly review, except this time we couldn't edit anything out. Fun! *There is a hell moment at the end where they are all simultaneously unmuted. You have been warned. Learn more about your ad choices.

That's right, the Red River Ramblin' Rigatoni Ruckus is back, with both teams ranked and looking to grab control of the Big 12. So we talked about weird food and miniature cattle and big ole rabbits. It's also the anniversary of Auburn 3-Mississippi State 2, either Rutgers or Illinois is gonna get a Big 10 win, and Miami will probably unveil some way too sexual prop just to prove they're the manliest man in mandom. Granted, we didn't talk about any of that for the first 15 minutes or so, the designated non-football portion of this podcast. This show will never get any better, no matter how much you or I would like it to. That's fun. This is all fun. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sure, James Franklin maybe could have called a better play at the end of the Ohio State game. And sure, maybe Bobby Petrino blew a chance to beat Florida State for almost no reason.

Ed Orgeron did a cuss, but BYU won in Madison despite specifically not doing cusses, so it remains to be seen whether or not cusses are the way to win football games. Arkansas and Northwestern and USC all probably did some cusses, though you can't really blame them for that. Also there's way too much sexual discussion in this episode related to the Mario universe. Sorry. P.S. Kansas scored 55 points in a football game in 2018 and Rutgers is now a cuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

USC, come here and have some tea. Texas, we brought you epsom salts. Florida, you look like - oh, you're dead? Apparently you're dead. That's fun. Week 2 had plenty of pain and suffering for the shuffling crusty former titans of college football, as well as fun performances from Clemson-Texas A&M, USF-Georgia Tech, and Michigan State-Arizona State. Also, Jason was the only non Iowa or Iowa State fan who watched all of El Assico and in doing so he discovered a MASSIVE ESPN MEDIA LIESPIRACY. Learn more about your ad choices.

You would think the three of us being in the same physical space, recording our show with the assistance of actual experts in the field, would mean this is the crispest, best sounding Fullcast episode ever. WRONG. One of our colleagues told us it sounds "like the Allied invasion of Germany." We have no plausible explanation for this, but we had a very good time with those of you who came out to the show and if you have the ear strength to muscle through, we think those of you who couldn't might enjoy this episode as well.

On paper, Week 2 is not as interesting as some other weeks of college football might be. Do not be fooled! These are the weeks when potential disaster awaits, like Georgia letting South Carolina hang around way too long and Georgia fans getting all worked up online. Or Kentucky could beat Florida!

Important topics we cover include: - Ryan's proposal for Anxiety Week - Holly's breakdown of a Philadelphia insect theft - Spencer gets excited about the first Jimbo-Dabo showdown - Everyone else calls Spencer an idiot - Fun facts about the Iowa State coach who proved gambling and telecommuting go together perfectly - Penn State faces Pitt in Blake Bortleseseses ancestral spawning grounds - How Arizona State can win and lead to Mike Shanahan, Ohio State Head Coach - Tales of Overnapping - Liberty-Army, Your Facebook Uncle's Most Anticipated Game - Horse Skeletons and Matt Leinart's bartering success story - Again, Philadelphia Insect Theft Learn more about your ad choices.

I, Ryan Nanni, write the descriptions for these episodes, but I was not available for this one, so I'm going to guess that Jason, Spencer, and Holly talked about:Scott Frost Day, on which Nebraska allowed no points and, shoot, no yards BLACKSHIRTS BACKTexas's commitment to making the Big Ten a deeper conference before the Longhorns themselves join the Big TenMaybe some earnest talk about Washington-Auburn, idkSpencer fawning over Ole MissConsiderably too much talk about...Hawaii, maybe?

The first full week of the 2018 season is here, and that means it's time to talk about Defending Split National Champions UCF and Alabama, Spencer doing actual research to hate on Auburn's chances against Washington, Virginia Tech's 5 man defense, a list of extremely Texas names on Texas Tech, Boston College's most perfect dude, San Diego State beating Stanford because it's part of a narrative arc, Ryan insisting Notre Dame should never have scheduled Michigan again, and Jason reminding you that Kennesaw State's approach to turnover paraphernalia is the purest and best. (Also UAB was way better than Florida and Tennessee last year even though they were basically in the "toddler who just got out of the hospital after a scary illness" stage of college football program development.)

The second annual edition of the Fullcast's open call for your worst backyard catastrophes did not disappoint, as our listeners spent their summers setting hornet's nests on fire, watching their fathers drive lawnmowers into bodies of water, burning evergreen trees and discovering why they are called "nature's portable dynamite," taking children to the emergency room after horrific family football games, and knocking out the power to whole swaths of their hometowns by throwing used sports gear at vulnerable pieces of public infrastructure.

Florida State had inarguably their worst season in almost a decade, and yet they still handled Florida easily, needed a miracle to finally lose to Miami, and probably shoulda beat Clemson according to our patented Nolemetrics.

You've played the popular NCAA video game series - but did you know there's an obscure, little-played NFL version of the same game? Madden is arguably more of a fantasy RPG, since it allows you to explore impossibilities like "Florida produces a viable pro quarterback" or "the Chiefs win a Super Bowl." The History of Fun, made by our friends at Polygon, explores the weird and wild origins of the video game series. We hope you like it, if only because it's not another round of Fullcast horseshit!

Fun note: I (Ryan) somehow super screwed up recording my part of this so the first 10 minutes or so are just Jason and Spencer. I'm sorry/you're welcome, depending on how you feel about me as a part of this show. Also, we had to cut the whole part where we conclude Cloud City is a free love colony and Lobot is its greatest lover. Again, sorry/you're welcome. Learn more about your ad choices.

Holly Anderson joins us to discuss our greatest academic achievements, such as treating an entire semester like Notre Dame's NCAA-approved 2012 record -- as in, only showing up for the final, then failing. Also, Spencer took a judo class at Flori- stop laughing. Spencer took judo at Flo- please. It's time to make fun of each conference's academic rankings. Spencer took judo a- fine. It's funny.

Gambling on sports is now (potentially, depending on the state in which you live and the timing and a lot of other stuff) legal!

What parts of college football history actually matter? What is the triple option? Why are Michigan Men the way that they are? Are refs actually different depending on conference, and what is the purpose of the one point safety's continued existence? These questions and more are answered, often by just talking about Star Trek in ways that don't connect to the questions themselves. Also, Spencer unveils the worst accent in show history. I hate it so much. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Two of us have seen Avengers: Infinity War but the other hasn't, so we only get to talk about superheroes in a really vague and meandering and nudity-focused way. Dave Wannstedt is a superhero for our purposes. Fred Durst is not. Again, this is the only college football podcast. Please treasure it accordingly. Learn more about your ad choices.
