FCS Week 1 Preview: Sac State vs South Dakota State & Can Montana State Pull Off An Upset Against Oregon?

·30 min·3 clips

A pipe bursts during a chaotic intro before hosts debate which FCS game is most important this week.

The episode begins with a chaotic scene of a pipe bursting and an insurance ad, setting an unconventional tone. Hosts Joe DeLeone and Sean Anderson immediately dive into FCS Week 1 previews, arguing about which game deserves focus. DeLeone pushes for Montana State vs Oregon, while dismissing Lehigh vs Richmond as irrelevant due to lack of fan interest. The hosts candidly admit they are 'hacks' who choose topics based on viewership to 'save our jobs'. They criticize Richmond, calling them 'cowards' for leaving the Colonial Athletic Association. Sac State vs South Dakota State is repeatedly emphasized as a crucial game with intrigue, though no specific analysis is provided in the transcript. The conversation shifts to listener feedback, with mentions of a listener named Brendan possibly being doxed. Hosts discuss cursing on their show and share personal anecdotes, including a disappointing $170 dinner date. The episode concludes with contact information, a sign-off, and a request for ratings and reviews. The format is a casual, unscripted discussion between two hosts, blending sports analysis with off-topic banter. Recurring themes include editorial bias, audience engagement, and self-deprecating humor. Key moments include the chaotic intro, the 'hacks' admission, and the Richmond criticism. The episode lacks in-depth game analysis, focusing more on host dynamics and tangential stories.
