"The Blind Spot" & The SECSE: Buy, Sell, or Trade with Davey McNightThis UNC story goes deeper than the Pacific. We're also starting a new series this week, the Stock Exchange. Who do you buy? Who do you sell? Who do you keep? We're starting with half the SEC this week & this was a blast! #GVLMedia
The Tiers of Unfathomable Sadness w/Davey McNightDon't cry, have hope! These are TIERS, not "tears," & they're all hopeful if not likely to make the College Football Playoff or even content for a national title in 2025. Is it early? Yes. Is it better than talking about the Derby & Bill Belichick? Well, yes, but we do that, too. #GVLMedia

If only there was a league called the BIG12 that actually had 12 teams, we could have done this in one go.Instead, we gotta split it up. Today, it's the Hateful Eight of the BIG12. This is the last of all the power-four groups, & we've covered them all! It's been a great thought experiment for sure, & we're still gonna do at least the MAC. Here come your grades!#thegreyzones #GVLMedia

B1G New Money: The 2024 Review with Davey McNightWho was the B1G this year? Well, for one thing, they were far too big to cover in a single episode (BIG20 has a nice ring to it), so we're going with "the old money" this time, those the blue bloods & bordertown Midwesterners, plus Purdue exists.#thegreyzones#GVLMedia
B1G New Money: The 2024 Review with Davey McNightWho was the B1G this year? Well, for one thing, they were far too big to cover in a single episode (BIG20 has a nice ring to it), so we're going with "the new money," those former-PAC-12 teams & nouveau riche alike. This was fun! #thegreyzones#GVLMedia

The College Football Playoff Round 1 Preview with Davey McNight Without spoiling anything, the best advice we can generally agree on is simply this: don't bet on bowl games... @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online

Let's Celebrate a Brilliant Regular Season: The 2024 College Football Championship Review with Davey McNight The Playoff is set (now stop saying "playoffs") & we're happier than a pig in mud. The 2024 regular season was a stamp on everything that makes college football so great, imperfect, passionate & amazing. As a TV show, you could never script it better or ask for anything more. As a post-season, we're tremendously excited. But for a conference championship weekend, it felt like a stamp on what makes college football the greatest sport with the shortest season & we're gonna celebrate it! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
Nine football games. Just nine. No team in any of them is favored by more than 4 points. Surely you can find time for at least 8 of the championship games, no? Who will win? What will a loss mean? Who's in the "playoff?" Who cares, we still have football! Savor every snap. @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
WHA' HAPPENED?! The Week 14 College Football Review Show with Davey McNight Wivalwy Week certainly did not disappoint in being relentlessly entertaining, if nothing else. No football on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday this week means you've got plenty of time to listen to a jam-packed review of a wild wivalwy weekend! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
What's a Wival? The Week 14 College Football Preview with Davey McNight Gotta savor absolutely every single snap of rivalry week & the last game for many programs & players. Celebrate it! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
WIVALWY WEEK! The Annual Rivalry Drop-In Show from Hans & Franz What do you hate? No, I mean really hate? Your rival in football? That's nice. Apparently not everyone is into that, even this week?! Still, thankful for (alleged) Clemson fan Lord James Spivey, Gamecock superfan Gerald (G.A.), "Bulldawg" Brian Bishop & Dan Waugh who actually hates his rival, plus ever-thankful for the recording hut at Hans & Franz Biergarten. @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
BAKER'S DOZEN: The Week 13 College Football Preview with Davey McNight & Bennett Thompson There's one more regular-season Saturday after this. BE AFRAID.

Savor every snap. @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online

November Is for Contenders! The Week 11 College Football Review with Davey McNight Fall For Greenville kept me from (most of) the games on Saturday.

TWINS ARE SCARY! The Week 10 College Football Preview with Bennett Thompson & Davey McNight We have a special guest! Special needs as he's left-handed, but a stunning specimen nonetheless, it's my twin brother coming to you from the central slime zone in New GOREleans, Bennett Thompson! Also joined by my favorite zombie, GRAVE-y McNIGHT! There are fewer games on this week than any since week 1 (scary!), but we're here to help double your mortgage to make up for buying the king-size candy bars for trick-or-treaters. Bobby Petrino will rise, Tennessee's wearing black 'cause they're going to a funeral, Cardinals become an endangered species, and moooooore! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
So Spooky! The Week 9 College Football Review with Davey McNight We did a great job on the week 9 preview last week! Great as in great radio, albeit not great in our picks. I got a few on Davey, but man, if you wanted chaos & weirdness, 2024 is for you, & the Earth is still flat. We're running out of weeks, so savor every snap! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
Secure your grave so you've got a place to stay when your picks die! There are few things as scary as getting your picks wrong, so we're here to help (probably). Devils, Demons, howling Huskies, oh my! Joined once again by Davey McNight, we're making some remarkably logical guesses for our picks, but the way this season is going nobody can even be sure the Earth is round & the alphabet is real. @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
Alabama Is a Basketball School: The Week 8 College Football Review with casual Notre Dame well-wisher Davey McNight. Davey's gut was right. Mine no longer exists. Might need surgery. It's cool, because at least we can all be distracted by the relentlessly tremendous TV show that is the 2024 college football season. @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
They low down. They dirty. They some snitches. It's not even that orange that you can sit with.

MIDTERMS: The College Football Week 7 & Mid-season Review Seven weeks of college football down & it's flown by faster than a migrating hummingbird. We're halfway through the regular season, y'all. Savor every snap! Joined once again by Irish Davey McNight, we're breaking down some tremendous football, getting more picks right, finally ranking (almost) all the undefeated teams & more! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
Six weeks of college football down & it's flown by faster than a migrating hummingbird. Doesn't mean we can't get excited about week 7 & finally rebuilding a mortgage, especially now that the most competitive games are about to get a lot more common. Rivalries, conference games, bowl-ineligibility, oh my! Joined once again by Irish Davey McNight, we're making some remarkably logical guesses for our picks, but the way this season is going nobody can even be sure the Earth is round & the alphabet is real. @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
Alabama lost a football game (allegedly)! The 2024 college football season is drunk. We've said it before, but now it's Nashville drunk thanks to the Commodores putting the Anchor all the way down on Alabama (special thanks to the authorities for not getting in the way of the 2+ mile walk to the river to deposit the goal post). As a result, 5 of the top-15 teams losing is a borderline afterthought, Arkansas beating Tennessee is a footnote & Clemson beating a perennial league rival on the road is full-on crickets. I haven't watched football in two weeks thanks to hurricane Hell-ene but thank Christ for Irish Davey McNight to help fill us all in on what actually happened in the college football world. P.S.: The band was "Certainly So" playing "Alabama Blues" at Albino Skunk Fest as Vanderbilt won.

The 2024 college football season is drunk. There is simply no better way to describe it. Drunk can be good, it can be fun, it can be bad, it can be atrocious, and it can be scoring more points than basketball (literally, you'll see). It's certainly not boring, that's for sure. We've got the digs on history-making performances, heart-breaking finishes, and absolutely abysmal catastrophes, often on home fields. There's simply nothing better than college football, that's the only thing we can say with absolute certainty, but we have a lot to say anyway so get in The Grey Zone! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
OKLAHOMA IS AMERICA'S TEAM I'm not picking Oklahoma to win, but I will love it if I'm wrong! Mortgage bets are few and far between this week, but that doesn't mean you can't double-up. Matt & I are here to help! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
1/4 of the regular season is gone and it ain't coming back. Shed your tears for the missed picks, the 1/2-point covers & the atrociously-late bad beats. Celebrate the history-making, back-breaking, booty-shaking beauty that was week 3! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
How are you gonna make your family happy? Hopefully you took them to Moe's last week so you can't do that this week. But doubling-up on your mortgage could be just the trick! Then again, it is a bit of a sickos' week, so beware (weather may be an issue). There's a big game on for every time slot while Clemson sits on a bye-week, but there's plenty to do & plenty of ways to make some of that paper back we all lost in week 1, let's get it! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
Introducing Georgia-Davey McNight! That's right, growing up in South Bend, Indiana is more meaningless than a field goal to end the game down by 70. Week 2 was supposed to be boring. Instead, it was drunk. Not just drunk, but stumbling-down-the-entire-King's-Mile-in-Edinburgh drunk. Drunk can be fun! See Clemson. Drunk can be messy and gross. See Notre Dame (& pray for them), Auburn, Iowa & FSU (who was on a bye-week). Drunk can be hard to reach before it feels good. See Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon & Penn State. Crushed my picks this week, at least. Hope y'all bet the mortgage on Clemson like I begged you to! We're dealing with some absolute demons on this one, but doesn't drama make good radio? @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
Yes, we are here to save your marriage AND tell you where to bet the mortgage. It's gotta be week 2! Welcome to the week TWOO HOO! The Week 2 2024 College Football Preview with Irish Davey McNight! It's a relatively boring week. But every week is an opportunity! This week's opportunity is doubling your mortgage while saving your marriage. You'll get lucky at home & blessed in the bank. You're welcome. @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
The Week WON 2024 College Football Review Show is here to answer all your questions & end all debates! Half the teams lost, but the weekend of 5 straight days of football still felt like a win overall, didn't it? OK, maybe not, but the future's so bright I wear sunglasses at night. Hopefully none of y'all made any mortgage bets (except for the Irish) but we know more than we've known for the last 9 months (even if I forgot who the Road Runners are). Week 1 is mistake week. On to the buffet. Let's go! Joined once again by my salacious guest, Irish Davey McKnight, we're going over the week one action! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
"Chaos" Is a Sport Best Served With a Faucet of Drama and a Side of Pigskin! Welcome to the Week Zero Review & Week One College Football Preview with Irish Davey McNight! Hawaii wins! Nerds in Atlanta own Ireland! SMU survives! My picks are already in the drain like season two of "The Acolyte," but we're just getting started. We've arguably never seen as much change in a single off-season, & none of us could be any less prepared. But we're here to help! Just don't bet week one, because week one bets are what they mean when they warn you to "bet responsibly." Joined once again by my salacious guest, Irish Davey McNight, we bury the week so we can rise again once more to face the bitterness of our own hope & celebrate the best sport in this sensational golden age. @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online
Got a bunch of people together at the sensationally salubrious Hans & Franz Biergarten to talk trash, make bold predictions & otherwise just act a fool & pray the wasps away. Three microphones, four guests, zero pants allowed. Is Grey high for being high on Clemson this year? Do the Wyoming Cowboys have a good horse or a pretty good horse? What the actual hell is wrong with Tennessee & why do they live? Is Georgia Tech beating Florida State really an upset? And y'all, it's late August, which means we have real, live college football this Saturday! Salvation! Big thanks to all the guests who came out & jumped right in to get weird this week, including Jay Spivey (sext me), GA (Cocks!), & Brooklyn's own #1 Clemson fan & first-time guest, Marty Winsch, sláinte! @ColorofGrey on Twitter @ColorofGreyStudio on Instagram #TheGreyZones #FeteGreenville www.GVLmedia.online

"Chaos" Is a Sport Best Served With a Faucet of Drama and a Side of Pigskin! Episode with Irish Davey McNight. Is this the last time we'll see conference title games like this? Yes. Did we break all-time records in multiple meaningful categories? Yes! Did people notice? Don't know, they're too mad to be able to tell! The regular season is over. It was something special this year but the time to celebrate it was from midnight after the conference title game to noon on Sunday when our conglomerate overlords sacrificed the entire Seminole nation for an anonymous Twitter handle in the Midwest to be right about everything. Just kidding, we're literally & actually talking about the games that happened. Hey, someone's gotta do it, & football games are my favorite part about football!
