Brent is, once again, out for this episode; so Roman and Jake continue to hold down the fort in his absence. They begin this episode by finally discussing what is perhaps the biggest story in sports right now: college football and conference realignment. Both see this as mostly a negative for college football, with Roman going as far as to predict that college football will eventually make up of two super-conferences, those being the SEC and the BIG 10, that form their own playoff separate from the NCAA. Jake, while still being pessimistic, brings up the point that while super-conferences eliminate parity, the competition within them will be at a high level and, perhaps, better than ever before. They also mention that while this is disappointing for the University of Memphis, Tiger fans shouldn’t be concerned, since basketball is Memphis’ moneymaker and will remain largely unaffected by the realignment. The conversation then moves to a quick discussion on the end of the Summer League. Afterwards, the guys break down the AFC South. Roman still sees this as the Titans’ division with the Colts having another disappointing season, while Jake believes that Indianapolis finally gets over the hump and Tennessee falls off. The episode ends with a recap of Roman and Jake’s weeks. Roman and his brother cared for their puppies with their parents out of town, while Jake went to a leadership conference in Washington DC. Enjoy the 11th episode of the Men in Hoodies Podcast! (PS, please send your prayers and condolences to Brent and rest of the Lyons family, as they have just lost Brent’s grandmother)
