The time machine is open, and MSU football is the destination. What would we change if we could go back in time, from Big Ten Conference alignment to avoiding the path to the ill-fated RedBox Bowl in 2018. We're joined by Austin Smith of The Only Podcast to break it down. We then talk about MSU basketball, from what is driving us the absolute craziest to what Tom Izzo had to say about his handling of Xavier Booker in a recent quote.

This week, he sits in front of the mic and we talk about the famous Redbox Bowl trip to Milpedas, CA, we parlay that into what college sports is doing about COVID-19 and the strange seeming duality of the NCAA. From there we talk about the Righteous Gemstones and whether or not we could ourselves become Kenneth Copeland.

Readyforthedraft.com's Gregg Schutze shares his passion for the NFL draft and takes you on a journey leading up to the 2019 NFL Draft. Episode 15 is part two of the two-part series dedicated to Bowl Season. Gregg takes a look at the second half of the bowls beginning on December 28 and calls out the draft-eligible prospects to watch out for along with a few underclassmen of note. The 28th will feature the likes of Derrick Brown and Jarrett Stidham of Auburn, David Sills V of West Virginia and Iowa State's David Montgomery and Hakeem Butler. Before we get to the CFP semifinals on the 29th, the Peach Bowl features defensive standouts Jachai Polite, Jabari Zuniga and Chauncy Gardner-Johnson of Florida and Chase Winovich of Michigan. Deebo Samuel, Jake Bentley and South Carolina look to take out the Virginia Cavaliers in the Belk Bowl, while Justice Hansen leads the Arkansas State offense against Malik Reed and the Nevada Wolfpack defense in the Arizona Bowl. New Year's Eve bowls feature Cincinnati's dynamic DT's Cortyez Broughton and Marquise Copeland in the middle against Virginia Tech, Stanford's Bryce Love and JJ Arcega-Whiteside look to outscore Qadree Ollison, Darren Hall and the Pittsburgh Panthers in the Sun Bowl and Justin Herbert and the Ducks faceoff against Kenny Willekes, Joe Bachie, Justin Layne and Michigan State in the Redbox Bowl.

The Gator Bowl will feature explosive RB Trayveon Williams of Texas A&M and NC State's standout QB Ryan Finley in what should be a high-scoring affair. Finally, January 1 brings us Montez Sweat and Jeffery Simmons and MississippI State against Noah Fant, TJ Hockenson and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Outback Bowl; LSU's vaunted defense led by Devin White and Greedy Williams look to spoil another undefeated season from Central Florida in the Fiesta Bowl; and Kentucky All-Americans Josh Allen and Benny Snell lead the Wildcats into the Citrus Bowl against Trace McSorley, Amani Oruwariye and Penn State.

Bowl season is upon us, which can only mean one thing … it's time for our #CnCShow annual roast of the 3,613 meaningless (but ridiculously fun) college football games that will happen between now and early January, in a show that we lovingly call Bowlapalooza. In addition to our #GroupOfFiveAfterDark correspondent AJ Kufic, we're typically joined by a cast of thousands. This year, however, we apparently needed to work on making more friends, because the only person we could bribe to return is Carla's husband, David Fox, a recovering sports journalist. But we've regrouped and carried on. (At least that's what we keep telling ourselves.) After a conversation about the existing College Football Playoff and our desires for a new version of said playoff, here are the bowl games that made the cut this year: DXL Frisco Bowl (8 p.m ET Wed., Dec. 19, ESPN) San Diego State (7-5) vs. Ohio (8-4) Crappy gets the first bowl game this year as his Bobcats are playing a bowl that is somehow (remarkably) not in San Francisco. Ohio has won four of its last five games … SDSU has lost four of five. Hmm. Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl (12:30 p.m. ET Fri., Dec. 21, ESPN) Florida International (8-4) vs. Toledo (7-5) David takes this one because don't these two teams play each other every year? Isn't FIU in the MAC South? We kid. Only slightly. Jared Birmingham Bowl (12 p.m. ET Sat., Dec. 22, ESPN) Memphis (8-5) vs. Wake Forest (6-6) David's second pick. A Group of Five team finally plays a team from a major conference … and it's Wake Forest. (Insert sad trombone here.) Also, who the heck is Jared Birmingham? Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl (3:30 p.m. ET Sat., Dec. 22, ESPN) Houston (8-4) vs. Army (10-2) As an Army veteran, Crappy takes this bowl … and the Black Knights, a team that's riding high after another win over rival Navy. Houston has a prolific offense … but Army runs the triple-option and has the ninth-best defense in the country. Cheez-It Bowl (9 p.m. ET Wed., Dec. 26, ESPN) California (7-5) vs. TCU (6-6) Carla takes this game because … snacks! Seriously, you may need a box of Cheez-Its to get through this game, which features two lackluster offenses. This is Cal's first bowl appearance since 2015. Walk-On's Independence Bowl (1:30 p.m. ET Thurs., Dec. 27, ESPN) Temple (8-4) vs. Duke (7-5) Nope. This is in fact not a basketball game. It's an actual college football game that Carla picked because Temple interim head coach Ed Foley is an amazing human being who happened to give one of the best press conference speeches ever in mid-December. Camping World Bowl (5:15 p.m. ET Fri., Dec. 28, ESPN) West Virginia (8-3) vs. Syracuse (9-3) Oh, hey … AJ finally gets a game! Despite Will Grier sitting this one out, there's still a lot of intrigue here. Dino versus Holgo? This could get stupid silly. Redbox Bowl (3 p.m. ET Mon., Dec. 31, FOX) Michigan State (7-5) vs. Oregon (8-4) AJ picks this game for many reasons, but two in particular stand out — it's sponsored by a physical media company in the heart of Silicon Valley, and no one will see it because it's being played in Santa Clara during rush hour. But if you ever wanted to attend a bowl game for $25, this is the game for you! As always, we're incredibly grateful to David and AJ for joining us. The #CnCShow will be back with our first of two College Football Playoff preview shows at the end of the month. Happy holidays … and enjoy this most wonderful football time of the year!
