Proper Hardcore - The Gridiron Breakdown
Jay is joined by longtime collaborator Brian for a no-holds-barred look at the college football landscape as we reach the two-month mark of the season. It's time to revisit those preseason predictions, confront the things we got spectacularly wrong, and offer a few mea culpas. There's even a chance for the other guy to challenge your excuses. Because accountability is important. Unless you picked Oklahoma.Check out Brian's Work:Brian's Vinyl Records BriansVinylRecords on FB, Threads and InstagramBrianThomas BVR on XBox Cards & Collectibles on FBboxcardscollectibles on Tik Tok, Instagram and ThreadsWe'll also hand out our midseason honors, debating the most impressive team and player of the season before diving into The Weekly Six, our breakdown of six games worth watching:BYU at Utah: The Mountain Showdown.

Is Miami the nation's best team, and can Notre Dame keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive?And because there's always more football to discuss, we'll wrap things up with a look at the NFL season so far.Coaching changes, playoff implications, preseason predictions gone sideways, rivalry games, and a healthy dose of football nonsense.Proper Hardcore.
