Purple Yeti Roar 30: Laid Back 30s

Yeah when you get to be 30 episodes in, things tend to slow down a bit.  So I’m going to lean back an lay down some good ‘ole fashioned football talk.  Let’s have a fresh ginger ale and reminise about the week’s events in college football.  We’ll be going over Oklahoma, Landry Jones, Kansas State, Big 12, West Virgrinia, Dana Holgorsen, Penn State, Colorado, Tyler Bray, Tyrann Mathieu, LSU, Denard Robinson, and Usain Bolt.

Purple Yeti Roar 27: A Cold Wind A Blown’ From Up North

It’s getting chilly down here in Austin in the middle of July.  Wah, you say?  Yes, but not that kind of chill.  It’s the kind that’s blowing over college football and it’s coming from Happy Valley.  This week I try to stay warm and protected from the goings on at Penn State as well as talking about Joe Paterno, Jerry Sandusky, NCAA, Iowa, Big Ten, SEC, Big 12, Missouri, Gary Pinkel, Kansas State, and Collin Klein.

Purple Yeti Roar 24: Celebratin’ ‘Merica and Happy Things

I’m kicking of the festivities early this year and celebrating Independence Day a little early.  Why you ask?  Well, it could be that after all of the NCAA playoff announcements, Notre Dame will still be independent.  Or it could be Erin Andrews heading to Fox Sports to host a college football pregame show.  Or it could be that West Virginia and TCU are officially in the Big 12.  Nope.  It’s that Texas A&M and Missouri are gone from the Big 12.  Happy Days!  Time to celebrate with some Colorado Buffalo beer.

Purple Yeti Roar 23: Reckless Irish Eyeballin’

So this week I’m excited to present my takes on college football with a tasty sun drenched backlight!  Besides my production glee, I delve into Notre Dame’s batted eyes for another conference.  Namely the Big 12.  But if that gets too sappy, I’ll talk about UCLA, Kansas State, Texas, Texas Tech, Harvey Updyke, and College Football Playoffs Continue reading Purple Yeti Roar 23: Reckless Irish Eyeballin’

Purple Yeti Roar 22: Stooping to New Levels

Hey I’m back this week and I bought another copy of Phil Steele’s College Footbal Preview for 2012.  Click through to find out why!  I also talk about Charlie Weis, Kansas, Kansas State, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Tom Osborne, Big 12, BCS, UTEP, ESPN, and a whiny Bob Stoops.

Purple Yeti Roar 20: Looking Through Some Steeley Eyes

This week I get caught up on all of the wacky conference meeting action.  If you though realignment was a massive piss contest, wait until you hear about what the Pac 12, Big 12, Big 10, and SEC are sprinkling on now.  Plus we talk Kansas, Northern Iowa, Bob Bowlsby, Steve Spurrier, and I hold a very special grudge against Phil Steele for picking on my Kansas State Wildcats.

Purple Yeti Roar 19: Remembering On Memorial Day

I took some time out of my busy weekend remembering out troops and grilling out some hamburgers to pop on and tell ya what happened in the week that was college football.  Quick answer: not much.  But tune in and see about Clemson, Miami, ACC, Big 12, Florida State, Memorial Day, Craig James, SEC, Alabama, and Chuck Neinas.

Purple Yeti Roar 18: Bigger and Better Bowls(by)

Yeah I’m not sure if Bob Bowlsby (new Big 12 Commish) had anything to do with what happened in the last week, but I’m giving him credit.  Not in the video, just in this note about the video.  I was too busy gushing about the new bowl series matchup between the Big 12 and the SEC, Florida State’s (and Clemson’s) apparent move to the Big 12, Notre Dame courting, the ACC and other weak conferences like the Big East, and realignment swankiness.  It’s good to be a Big 12 fan this week.

Purple Yeti Roar 17: Getting Ready To Rain Down

Yes, this week I get a little wet, with emotion.  And by wet, I mean sweat.  Sweat for all of the realignment rumblings that involve the Big 12 and teams going _into_ the conference.  I’ll talk about some of the teams that fall in to that latter category as well as some Texas, South Carolina, Notre Dame, Bill Byrne, West Virginia, Aaron Green, and Dan Beebe. Continue reading Purple Yeti Roar 17: Getting Ready To Rain Down

Purple Yeti Roar 16: It’s Me, Really

Alrighty it’s another week and I have a shocking revelation.  You won’t believe your eyes when you find out.  I also talk about some ESPN, Kansas State, Big 12, Notre Dame, and Conference USA.  TMZ eat your heart out! Then dot dot dot about it. Continue reading Purple Yeti Roar 16: It’s Me, Really

Purple Yeti Roar 13: I Hate To Break It To Ya

Ahahah ho man.  I couldn’t resist that pun for Alabama’s BCS Championship trophy breakage this week.  There were other things going on as well.  Among the other stories that broke (ba doom ching): Kansas and all it’s Domer Glory, the Cy-Hawk Trophy is back to being cool, Barry Sanders (I said Foster HA) comes back from my childhood, Tyler Lockett practices full speed for Kansas State, an Auburn fan gets punched, and Oliver Luck wants it big.  Let’s shuffle through the damage. Continue reading Purple Yeti Roar 13: I Hate To Break It To Ya

Purple Yeti Roar 12: Get Your Motor Running

Let’s head out on the highway and talk a little bit of the ole college football.  This week I talk about the Bobby Petrino saga, Iowa’s nepotism, Ricky Williams stoned bronzer, and some Kansas shenanigans.  Oh, I also pitch hard for some Bill Snyder Family Stadium ornaments. Continue reading Purple Yeti Roar 12: Get Your Motor Running

Purple Yeti Roar 06: Road to Recovery

I’m back and I’m better than ev….better than last week.  My cold is almost gone and I’m jumping out of my chair with excitement.  No it’s not the drugs, or TCU’s drugs, mind you.  It’s the fact that West Virginia settled their suit with the Big East and is officially joining the Big 12!  And if that didn’t get you jumping, too, then the released Big 12 football schedule for this fall should.  Yup, things are getting better everyday.
