Tyler Buchner is absolutely in his bag, dawg.

After transferring back to Notre Dame from Alabama to play lacrosse, the newest lax bro national champion wants to walk onto the Fighting Irish's football team ... as a receiver. As long as Marcus Freeman is okay with it, you do you, man. Rudy!, Rudy!

If you thought about playing with Iowa in EA College Football 25, good luck. Oh, the Hawkeyes will be stellar defensively, but you will feel like you're playing with a CUSA offense otherwise.

Also, Brett Yormark is bragging about the expanded Big 12 pulling in more revenue than ever. Unfortunately, he failed to realize that he has 16 mouths to feed instead of 12 or 14. You missed, Yormark...

Plus, Northwestern is actually going to go through and play some of its home games in a temporary practice field set-up. Can you say high school football stadium on the lake, bruh?

The SEC converged in Destin over Memorial Day Weekend.

Whether it was Josh Heupel dunking on his alma mater, Billy Napier addressing the Jaden Rashada-sized elephant in the room, or Steve Sarkisian hating every notion of an SEC injury report, the league's head coaches and athletic directors gave us the content we craved.

Plus, Tyler Buchner is a champion ... on the lacrosse field.

Also, Jim Phillips may have fallen off his rocker trying to win a game of ACC Risk with Utah as his military stronghold.

John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) were back at it again with the kind of False Start shenanigans you were most definitely expecting in the 79th episode of this here sports program.

Cody also breaks down Nyck Harbor's ridiculous speed and value for South Carolina, the Elite 11 list of attendees, the next college football coaches to watch for the 2024-25 carousel, and pays homage to the legend Bill Walton.
John Buhler is on vacation, and this is a solo Cody episode of False Start to walk you through the CFB world.

James Franklin is in hot water at Penn State for truly awful behavior regarding players' medical situations. Florida isn't in a good spot either as former 5-star and current Georgia backup QB Jaden Rashada is suing the Gators over NIL payments that were never made.
Plus, Jim Harbaugh might've stayed at Michigan if not for Warde Manuel, TNT is getting a piece of the College Football Playoff (and hopefully bringing Charles Barkley along), Florida State AD Michael Alford isn't doing the Seminoles any favors in the public eye, and we finish by comparing all 32 NFL franchises to their college football counterparts.
John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) navigate a shockingly busy week in the CFB offseason and let you know what it all means.

With Scottie Scheffler getting arrested outside of Valhalla Golf Glub in Louisville ahead of round two of the PGA Championship, the guys tried to figure out what college football head coaches are most likely to suffer the same fate of being so anonymous looking.

Dabo Swinney would honestly probably rather die than to use the transfer portal at Clemson. His latest comments on the matter will make you want to tear all of your remaining hair out.

Plus, you can also buy a piece of Rynearson Stadium's turf if you can afford a Prius.

Also, Michigan will allow alcohol sales this season. With Jim Harbaugh leaving for the NFL, many Michigan Men are going to be appreciative of the in-game suds for sure.

John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) tried to put this thing back on the rails during another crazy train edition of some False Start locomotive action.

Alicia de Artola Castillo joins the program to talk early College Football Playoff contenders from every Power 4 conference, Big Ten win totals for the 2024 season, and which CFB programs are living a Semi-Charmed kind of Life (baby, baby)!
Plus, Buhler and Cody break down Ohio State wanting Michigan's title to have an asterisk, chaos in the ACC, and the ups and downs of the SEC on ABC reveal that will have us all quite confused to start the season.
John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) are joined by Alicia de Artola (Editor, FanSided.com) for a deep look into what the college football world is giving us right now.

The dang vidya games...

Yes, EA Sports has given us an EA College Football 25 deluxe edition cover to talk about, one that may or may not have the right six college stars prominently featured on it. If you look hard enough, you can see Noah Fifita right in front of Carson Beck, as well as Bill Walton and Big Bird leading the way out of the tunnel.

As UCLA reluctantly left the Pac-12 for the Big Ten, the Bruins now have to pay Cal some alimony for their UC Regents divorce. Five annual payments of $10 million might be enough to cover some of their cross- country travel expenses.

Also, Pete Lembo was running court as the unofficial host of Buffalo's Oozefest, which apparently has been a thing now for 40 years, just like Scooby-Doo. Where were you?

John Buhler (Staff Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Senior Editor, FanSided.com) pay homage to Cameron Crowe's cinematic classic featuring their doppelgängers Russell Hammond and Jeff Bebe and a true masterpiece.
How does Almost Famous help us talk about Lane Kiffin being the hunted, middling college football programs, Deion Sanders and Brian Kelly on the recruiting trail, and the early college football hot seat watch (with replacements!)? Guess you'll have to come along for the tour like William Miller and then catch us again in 1974... or at least Episode 74 next week.
