You jest but the bit about "the only person who knows my pronouns is me and even I ain't so sure" is LITERALLY my exact gender situation
Speaking of objectively silly DIII school mascots, my school's mascot is a mountain range
Go Shox! The scariest mascot in sports!
What I wouldn't give for just an episode about sports team mascots.
Washington really lost an oppurtunity by not picking up the moniker "Sentinels"
Loosing it over Friar Dom/Sub/Switch
Lapsang Souchong is my number-one go to for favourite tea. Nobody ever has it, and asking for it does make you sound like a goddamn snob—but it's a delicious fucking tea, and I'm not apologizing for having taste.
Minor point: UNC won at least one basketball natty with players that were later ineligible due to those paper classes. Anyway, fuck the NCAA.
"Trans flag thin blue line" please don't lathe that, guys
worse than the pride colors version of the pinkerton logo? really?
Roz was right about Men’s Rowing, it is governed by the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) and not the NCAA. However if you are at a major conference school their rules mirror the NCAA so you still have to prove how you got your car to be eligible. I understand that this is due to a number of factors but the big ones are: we gamble on races the winner gets the shirt off the back of every crew they beat and certain big programs cough cough Washington cough cough have resided to adhere to any type of scholarship limit.
Can't copy a picture here so I hope this is okay, but man alive, I hope you don't need this photo for a future episode, US rail infrastructure at its best. A bridge at Colona held together using the classic polyester safety bracket method. https://www.facebook.com/streetfx/photos/a.10150339732250112/10167120874830112/
The reason Purdue Pete is so dead-eyed and dumb is that he's not really Purdue's mascot: Sometime in your first campus experience as a Boilermaker, you're told the truth that the actual mascot is the Boilermaker Special (the friggin' train in our larger logo), whereas Pete came from our University Book Store as their mascot/logo. He just happened to be semi-adopted by the school later on.
You all should bring a no-shit train to games.
Some one tell Alice about Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster PA
Oh man we used to camp at the rv place next door. Loved the Amish pie cart that would come through in the afternoon.
“Tactical Tea” makes me think of how British main battle tanks specifically have a water boiler in the crew compartment as standard equipment, so you can have a brew while guarding the Fulda Gap or invading Iraq or w/e
Those Human Mascot Costumes kinda had an old, melty, 40k miniature look to them. Also Adeptus Ridiculous is a fun podcast that people should listen to.
Giant 28mm is about right. Also that is a great podcast
solar farms actually do destroy fragile habitat, not just for birds but a ton of other irreplaceable creatures, and the real solution would be rooftop solar
You know what else also actually does destroy fragile habitat, not just for birds but a ton of other irreplaceable creatures, is climate change. The real solution all the gods damn renewable power we can make as fast as possible.
I spent a few hours in west layfatte in the back of a cop car just for driving through bein a long hair, so I understand why Pete’s got the dead eyes
the only (and i mean only) thing that makes me a proud UChicago alum is that we are undefeated against Notre Dame because we knee-capped our sports program to fund more research and the revived program is so far out of ND's league that we'll never face them again
Thank you 💕
Can someone drop the link to the video? I'm unable to open it on mobile

Yay Liam!
(sighs, digs out two bucks from the couch cushions) I can only hope we get a PODCAST BUSINESS song out of this.
Speaking as someone who did ride a manatee (I was 12, sue me) they are gentle, friendly creatures and I'm glad the law forbids people touching them.
Floaty potatoes are great critters.
For anyone who wants a true left critique of the NCAA, the place to start is Jack Scott’s “The Athletic Revolution.” Easy enough to find online. From there, you can find out about lots of other amazing shit (no spoilers, but it involves the Panthers, the SLA, the Oberlin Experiment, MK-Ultra and more!).

Holy shit y'all got Spencer? Not a crossover I expected but a welcome one
Hell yes the Duck rules.
As a younger viewer who doesn't know what paper is, but does know who Mr. Krabs is, thank you for the explanation.
👏 GET 👏 LIAM 👏 A 👏 LAV 👏 MIC
There is no link to the guest's twitter in the description
Spencer Hall is @edsbs (for Every Day Should Be Saturday, a blog he wrote in olden times)
my alma mater Johns Hopkins University takes huge advantage of the D3 exemption that allows 1 sport to be D1. For us its lacrosse. Its probably he only college where lacrosse is bigger than football.
The fact that you chose the piss and miss as your thumbnail reminded me I chose the right podcast
It sure is gratifying to know that basically fuck all has changed in sports since the Nika riots.
The best part of the pod is the discussion of mascots.
Beefsquach be posting yo
Spencer didn't mention it but he wrote an awesome book, half history of the NCAA and half Western fiction, about this very subject
Co-wrote, along with Richard Johnson, Jason Kirk, Alex Kirshner, and Tyson Whiting: https://mooncrew.gumroad.com/l/xwUYa
rss feed coming soon 🥹🥹🥹
all I know about NCAA as a brit is that the fencer race imboden had to drop out of university because the NCAA said his modelling work was advertising. Fencing is a pretty darn expensive sport as well. so yeah I'm predisposed to their disaster status
absolute name alert
Some clarification on if rowing is an NCAA sport. Woman's rowing is an NCAA sport, but men's rowing did not opt into the NCAA. The Men's rowing conference, the IRA, was founded in 1895 and I think that is what they were referring to when they mentioned rowing having one of the oldest conferences.
Speaking of CTE, you could probably do a bonus episode on boxing cos you have a bunch of corruption, organised crime and the race and class politics of poor kids giving each other brain damage for money. If that doesn't sell you on it, I will point out the handbook for amateur boxing in England has a 21 point list of all the things you ain't allowed to do during a bout and 2 sentences on how the scoring works that amounts to "eh, whoever you think won the round did"
Not to mention the way things used to be before the implementation of Queensberry rules. “120 round fight that lasts 19 hours, sure, fuck it.”
I actually get a wee buzz when these feckers post now!
oh my god they're doing sports again
YAY LIAM!
My cousin played for SMU in the 50s, I wonder if he was one of the "yee haw, pay them Mustangs" boosters...
please do not touch iheartradio with a 500 foot pole, good call Liam
I assume we have Liam to thank for the beautiful thumbnail of Elijah Moore peeing on the Mississippi State student section. Hotty toddy

football! yeah!
Never would've imagined this collab. Yall really found that dawg in ya
well there's your problem, they ain't played nobody pawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwl
Racasan makes toilet cleaner,
yessss!!! My two favorite tastes, tasting great together
i'm a british guy who gave himself CTE (probably) from playing american football which is one of the most hipster ways to ruin your life
Make the players more rigid
stick to sports nerds
