Houndstooth Heroes: Recent Episodes
Houndstooth Heroes
It's Iron Bowl Week, and for the first time ever, your boys are coming to you in front of a live studio audience! Even some audience participation (for better or worse). We talk about Goo Goo Clusters, Dabo's dumbness, and that time Ellis put on the Ole Miss under. RTR.
After a hiatus of...months? years? your boys are back and ready to make up for lost time...once we remember how to podcast and who the Tide is playing. SORRY IN ADVANCE FOR OUR GRAPHIC VOCABULARY, but we got a little carried away.
IT'S HATE WEEK, Y'ALL. The boys are here to give thorough breakdowns of the UGA game and the myriad of reasons a person should hate a Vol. #TennesseeHateWeek
Stay til the end to hear a new voice -- someone who actually researches their pick!
Everything's awful, and for once we're not just talking about our podcast! Seems like just last week your boys were innocently dropping nudes on the TL. (Thanks, Najee...) Hear your boys' ramblings in the wake of Coach Nick Saban's COVID diagnosis, and...whatever else we figured out to talk about.
It's Rebel Hate Week...but we still love you, Lane. Your boys are back for Week 3, as the undefeated Tide (led by a CERTAIN Heisman Trophy-deserving wide receiver) travel to Oxford (MAYBE) to play football (BEFORE THE GREAT RAIN). And don't miss a certain shocking promise made at the end of the episode that could pay horrific dividends for us all...
THIS WEEK: One of your boys is podcasting live under a bridge after the wagering bloodbath that was Week 1 in the SEC. We discuss who might be good, who might be bad, and how many days until Jaylen Waddle raises the Heisman Trophy.
GUESS WHO JUST GOT BACK TODAY! Yes, yes, it is indeed those wild-eyed boys who'd been away. But things HAVE changed, and we are excited to bring you the latest updates on our sad lives, as well as the hottest Alabama football takes this side of the Cahaba. We'll get into the Will Anderson hype, the QB battles, and as always...a special new segment to start the season. :)
It is Thanksgiving! And your boys are thankful for...mostly each other, it turns out, and also joggers. Anyway, as our crimson-clad Heroes prepare for the Iron Bowl, we talk about what Mac Jones and the offense will have to do, and take a look at the Dave Matthews tour schedule to get a sense of where Pete Golding's head is. The sound quality is horrible, the takes are worse, eat Arby's.
Licking ourselves (which is something we do very regularly but especially after a loss), your boys are back to break down Game of the Century Part Dos and look down the road to Alabama's potential path to the College Football Playoffs. We hate everything, including intro and exit music. GET OVER IT.
GAME OF THE CENTURY, PART DEUX. Your boys welcome longtime friend of the program Rob Brown to break down this year's Tide vs. Tigers game. We talk Tua's health, of course, as well as our own mental health, and we guarantee you some lost monies with our HATES OF THE WEEK. As always, enormous shoutout to Producer Ian (#H2P) for making something out of our undeniable nothingness.
It's the third week in October, which can only mean one thing: your boys are fired up and full of hate to take on the Tide's biggest rival. We'll take a look back at some highs and lows of the rivalry, talk about its biggest villain (and wonder just how fat he is these days), and of course wildly speculate over some upcoming SEC games this weekend. Go to hell, Tennessee.
Time to get weird, y'all. Not us, per se, but the Tide is heading to Aggieland, and you know what that means: WEIRDO WEEK. Your boys break down what the Tide needs to do to prevent 39th-year senior QB Kellen Mond from a big day, AND discuss which SEC environments are most intimidating for opponents.
The jokes aren't funny, the sound quality is atrocious and the picks are guaranteed to lose your house. Finally, a podcast truly deserving of the bye week.
(As always, an enormous shoutout to Listener-turned-Producer Ian who turned the unintelligble recordings we gave him into, well, something. He's great. We are not. #H2P)
It's #OleMissRespectWeek, and your boys' observances (and sound quality) are half-assed like everything else we do. We give the hottest takes you're guaranteed to hear in an arbitrary time period (Rock, Paper, Scissors!). We hate (Moo U!). We apologize (for all that we've ever done).
The hated Golden Eagles are flying toward T-town, and your boys have set up RAMPARTS OF HATE to protect our fair city. Prior to that, we'll recap what happened when the Tide played a QB named after somewhere in Finland and, as always, confidently give you the hottest take you'll hear during this arbitrary time period.
After a brief hiatus, the boys are back! With opinions and sound quality as terrible as ever. This week we examine the Cocks and take a not-too-deep look at every angle from which they can be beat. You see where this is going.
Your boys are back! And still washing down the bitter taste of last season’s not-so-happy ending. New year, new us? Unfortunately not. Nevertheless, join us as we preview the 2019 college football season, which has already gotten off to a horrid start, and we debut a sexy, sexy new segment (with staying power!). Stick around til the end to lose your shirt on our trademarked HATES OF THE WEEK.
It's National Championship time (again), Tide vs. Clemson (again), and your boys are here with all of the scorched-earth takes you could ever want (again). We made zero Hunter Renfrow jokes because he is a liar but also because he is an active AARP member and we respect those of retirement age.
It's playoff time, and your boys are as turnt as Tua's ankle. Join us for a brief but hearty (see: drunk) discussion about the many story lines surrounding the Tide's matchup with the Okies, as well as the Clemson-ND game and some breaking news about the religious affiliation of Notre Dame's quarterback. Do not miss.
Better late than never, your boys always say. Persisting through adversity like only Saban-era Alabama football fans can, we are back this week with loads of hate and bad takes for the upcoming rematch of the 2018 CFP National Championship game. Alabama won that, by the way.
It's time travel, y'all! Your boys celebrate Thanksgiving week with a double helping of takes and hates, After one (very nice) perfectly correct prediction of how the Citadel game probably went, your boys turn their sights to the cow college across the state, whose quarterback has a tail and whose coach has (praise be!) at least one more year on his contract. Let us all be thankful for Tua.
Along with special guest Meathead Justin, your boys take to the beverages to breakdown the Tide's handsy handling of the LSU Tigers and Da Coach O's pathetic pregame prancing. Gregory gets fired up about Moo U, Ellis is educated about keto, and there's 1.5x the hates (and money-losing) at the end. EAT MORE PROTEIN, RUN LESS.
As the Tide (and one of your boys)get ready to roll in Baton Rouge, we have everything you need to properly prep for the 7pm kickoff time: the world's best hype song, a branded-food review from @shulasjumboset, jokes on Joe Burrows plus lots and lots of HATE.
No Tide? No matter. Your boys show up in the bye week to relive another wondrous Third Saturday in October and sprinkle in some Scott Hunter stories along the way. Then we segue right onto Rat Poison and a made-for-the-bye-week debate segment about a few of our favorite things.
IT'S HATE WEEK, and your boys are joined by a very special guest to give you thrice the hatred. We tried to stick to a gloriously organized outline but in fact could not contain the hat in our hearts that kept bursting through at every turn. If you need to turn your hate dial up -- and maybe call your doctor, if you do -- this pod's for you.
Like Dixieland Delight, your boys are back by popular demand with stern censorship and a 100% of being pulled off the air next week. You wish. What we actually have for you: Tua showing out (again). Jerry Jeudy: a product of the system?? And yet another genius and fully-baked segment introduction from one of your boys.
Fresh off a trouncing of the not-so-ragin' Cajuns, your boys are back to talk PIGGIES. With plenty of takes on our entitled student section, the still-beleaguered kicking game and answers to your #AskAHero questions, you don't want to miss it. Or maybe you do. You probably do.
With special guest and COMEDY LEGEND Adam Condra, your boys bring the takes and the in-depth analysis Listener Fred has come to expect. Between resurrecting a classic segment and properly shaming one of your boys for actually picking a Vawl last week, this one has all the makings of something you'll want to forget you ever listened to.
In the face of great adversity, much like the Tide faced in exactly one (1) play against the Ole Miss Rebel Black Bear Landsharks, your boys deliver one of their most mediocre performances yet. We recap our time in the Grove, the hilarity of the game that was, and tell you all you need to know (assuming that is very little) about the upcoming game against the Jimbaggies.
Among the many philosophical topics your boys try to deconstruct this week: a pass-first Alabama offense, the 2018 kickoff rules and #AlabamaRespectWeek. Most importantly, devoted Hero @shulasjumboset takes on our Talkin' Turkey Challenge, critiquing a branded turkey leg outside Bryant-Denny Stadium, and HE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. Come for the poor gambling advice. Stay for the turkey talk.
Better late than never! Enjoy this awful podcast where we drank too much and hated on everything.
Your boys are back in town! And here to remind you that cardinals don't have teeth. They don't see much bite in this bunch of Bobby Petrino-led birds, either, despite all the chirping they've already done. Don't miss the new 2018 segment, or the mainstay: our HATE(S) OF THE WEEK.
Happy New Year, Heroes! Your boys are here in 2018 with a mini or not-so-mini cast breaking down the CFB Playoff Semifinals and Finals. Among the most pressing questions: Who showed out? What up with Bo? And who can absolutely NEVER ONCE take the field if the Tide wants to win?
Your boys get together to have a nice little chat about Tide basketball, donkeys, Grumor SZN and Phil Fulmer in his underwear. Pretty standard run of events, really. Not much else going on, so, ya know. Oh, there's also some talk about the (SOON TO BE RENAMED??) Iron Bowl. Get your takes here.
It's Clownshoes Week, and you can bet your boys have the appropriate amount of dander up. We talk about the brutal injuries (including: what was in LSU guy's pants?) and where our pets' heads are at this point. Plus, as always, hates and donkeys. Hates and donkeys.
Your boys are back after the bye week and ready to talk animal-on-animal forni-- WAIT no, football. Ready to talk football, we are. Anyway, it's Gweechay week and there's plenty of hate in our hearts for Da Coach O and his kitty cats.
TENNESSEEHATEWEEK IS UPON US AND YOUR BOYS ARE FULL OF TEQUILA AND HATE. Tune in for tales of Third Saturday traditions such as child abuse and cussing at old ladies, as well as our favorite pastime: beating the hell out of Tennessee. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
In another award-worthy podcast, your boys reflect on the disaster that was victory in College Station and bestow possibly the best Alabama football nickname to date for a freshman D-lineman. Don't miss this week's Donkey of the Decade of the Week, as well as a throwback to one of our all-time most (least?) popular segments.
Would you look at that? A podcast! Your boys are back this week and ready to atone for last week's absence by delivering talk of donkeys and hate. We recap #ReunionWeek in Nashville, the thrashing that was the Ole Miss game, and look ahead to a trip to see the weirdos in College Station.
Take two at a Reunion Week podcast for your boys before the throwdown in bachelorette town.
ALSO: Keith Holcombe remains on the UA baseball team. Roll Tide.
Good news: The sound quality is improved! Bad news: The takes are still trash. Join your boys as we rehash a victory over Fresno State, the donkey is calling from inside the house, and #MooPoints come up as an issue.
Fresh off a win of tragic proportions vs. FSU, your boys turn at least a shadow of their attention to the upcoming showdown with the Fresno State (that's in California) Bulldogs. Also discussed: Butch Jones's checkboarded trashcan (it's a metaphor)and Jarrett Stidham's tail (not at all a metaphor). Plus, as always, our HATES OF THE WEEK.
Your boys are back, and the offseason has not dimmed the molten glow of the takes. Actual radio guy @TheRobBrownShow joins the program to talk about the Noles, #FSUTwitter, clowns (Dabo, but others too) and a other hate-worthy Tallahassee notables. Don't miss this year's new, sexy segment as well as the old favorite, HATE OF THE WEEK.
Gloom, despair and agony on me. Your boys return from a month-long mourning period to breakdown the "big game," a particular coach's hype video, and what is possibly the greatest recruiting class in history. (We would only make such a claim based on the most respected of metrics: their Twitter profiles.)
Just because it's 2017 doesn't mean your boys' takes have cooled a bit. In the Sark Week edition, we offer differing opinions on last week's playoff victory against Washington AND on this week's NCG vs. Clemson. The conversation goes "four-fingers deep" regarding white linebackers and recent on-the-field antics (talking about #ButtStuff), as well as what the OC switch means for the Tide.
Your boys are joined by FOTP Carter Spires (who brings some actual football knowledge to the podcast!) as we break down the college football playoff matchups and other bowl games of note around the SEC. And just because it's the holiday season, don't think we neglected to announce our HATES OF THE WEEK!
The Tide is in the playoffs, and your boys are in the drink! We'll look back on the walloping that saw the SECCG and look ahead to an offense that could perhaps crack the code to Alabama's defense. (Or perhaps not.) PLUS: a pick-6 from the Falconer and a life-changing game from the Dothan Antelope.
Fresh off doling out a whoopin' in the Iron Bowl, the Tide rolls into Atlanta to play Florida for the second consecutive year of this SECCG matchup, and your boys discuss all the important topics leading up to the game: Applebees' rolls, Coach Mac's drugs, #KickersWithSwag, and the HATES. OF. THE WEEK! Of the week, of the week, of the week......
Your boys are back from a blizzard-induced hiatus to warm up with some takes! We look back on the Mocs, and even discuss what a Moc is, before diving face-first into the Iron Bowl. And we're joined by special guest: LISTENER FRED. As we've always said, the Heroes are a family program.
The Tide plays a team that lost to South Alabama and Kentucky this week, and your boys do their best to make it sound interesting. We recap a big W in Death Valley and talk about #LifeAfterEddie. ALSO: Find out what special guest cancelled on us this week.
Your boys wrap up #LSUHateWeeks with special guest Charlie Pond talking baseball, some questionable Billy Joel analogies and, of course, plenty of hate to go around. We'll recount some LSU-Alabama classics during Heroes History before gracefully swan diving into our Hate(s) of the Week.
Your boys open #LSUHateWeeks by recapping Bo Day 2016 at Druid City Brewing and re-emphasizing that Houndstooth Heroes is a FAMILY PROGRAM. We mourn Eddie, celebrate Mack, and take a long and hard look at the Alabama coaches who connected the Bryant era to Coach Saban.
After a rousing #TennesseeHateWeek, your boys come back for another dose of hate-fueled takes as the Tide prepares for the Aggies. We're also joined by special guest David Goldstein, who tells us all about the Nissan Heisman House and even pays us a compliment! Among the other items discussed: open-field tackles, milkmen, and a feud between an adult film star and a black bear.
It is #TennesseeHateWeek, and your boys covered a lot of ground. Stingray? Dead. Mascots? Live, preferably. Maybe. Human tramplings, Josh Dobbs' balls (and eyebrows) and all the hate that's fit to cast.
In the Brandon Chicken Edition, your boys praise the return of Tim Williams and give some legal lessons in the meantime. We also recount the Tide's 1964 (hilarious, hilarious) national championship over the Jerry Jones-led Hogs. And, BREAKING: Suddenly, at least for the time being, Stingray is one of the good guys.
Your boys are back after a highly publicized one-week hiatus, and they brought a friend! Noted LSU man Rob Brown (@TheRobBrownShow) joins to talk about Les Miles' unceremonious departure and what's next for the Bayou Bengals. We'll talk injuries, hates, and an important lesson from Houndstooth History: Coach Bryant did. not. play.
It's #OleMissHateWeek, and your boys certainly do our part to bring the hate. Channeling the late J.T. Bowtie, we recount the history of the Ole Miss-Alabama series and explain why THIS IS (STILL) NOT A RIVALRY. We also address one of our most important questions of our time: Would you have chewed that ass?
With the same A+ sound quality you've come to expect, your boys hop on the podcasting machine to break down to Tide's dominant 52-6 win over Southern Cal and look ahead to the Hilltoppers of Western Kentucky. After a disastrous start for our Hates of the Week (shoutout to Les Miles and Hugh Freeze), we're back with 2.5 picks that are stone. cold. locks!
Game week is (finally) upon us, and your boys take to the airwave with a Houndstooth Heroes first: RESEARCH! Learn about Alabama's storied history vs. Southern Cal, as well as what happened this week with Steven "Stingray" Ray, with whom your boys are officially beefing. Plus, a full slate of horrible picks, including your Hate of the Week.
Noted national recruiting guru Mark Jennings joins your boys to break down some of the Tide newcomers. He doesn't watch the college game, but Mark's knowledge of high school player development and the mechanics of a good longsnap are unmatched.
Your boys are back! Breaking the monotony of the offseason, this episode tackles a whole slew of Alabama football topics — from kickoffs to quarterbacks to the name of Kent State's football field. PLUS: How much would it take for you to enter the ring with Deontay Wilder?
With the A-Day game in our rearview mirror, your boys reunite for a 4/20 special to discuss all the news that's fit to pod out of T-town. Important questions of note: Whatcha drinking? Is Greg dying? Who won the spring QB race? Can we #MakeRightFieldGreatAgain? All that and much more.
Your boys talk beer (in particular: mouthfeel) before getting into the horrible state of all Alabama athletics. It's decommitments galore over at the football complex, most notably from QB1 Jake Fromm and X-Wife1 Layla Kiffin. The basketball team has dirtied its proverbial tourney linens, and the gymnastics program has crawled into a dumpster and lit a match. Baseball remains strong though, and your boys have takes to match.
Your boys are joined by a special guest to discuss the Tide's upcoming baseball season. Along the way, we get a firsthand account of Alabama's basketball victory over LSU and details of Greg's now-famous picture with Coach Les "Leslie" Miles. We also discuss plenty of other sports, Nazis, and whether Bobby Williams was actually fired into the sun. Don't miss it.
It's Crootmas Time, and Saint Nick has yet filled the stockings with five-stars and phenoms galore! From Bert's hilarious shock to Mullen's silly string, we have all your National Signing Day headlines covered. PLUS: We'll talk shooty hoops, the new HoundstoothHeroes.com, and which of this year's recruiting class are 5* tweeters.
Your boys forego listing the horrible things in their lives, because the Tide is back on top. Recount with us our favorite plays of the game, and learn why one of us missed the second half. PLUS - Senior Bowl is coming back to Mobile Bay, and we have equator-in-August hot takes on what Alabama folks to watch. (Hint: It's the ASU Honey Bees.) Roll Tide!
The year may be new, but it's still the same time-tested hate from your boys on The "Holy $#&@, We're in The National Championship Game" Edition. This week brings tales of living next to Dabo (and his mom), homeless babies, and fraternizing with the enemy. Plus, we bask in the glory of a fallen star (Connor Cook) and deliver the hottest CFB NCG takes this side of Corso and the boys.
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nick will soon open a can. As the playoffs draw slowly near, your boys have been busy refining their hate for Michigan State. Learn how the teams stack up, who we hate, and the common word Sparty fans just can't say right. PLUS -- basketball, baseball and all the news that's horrible.
Takes abound as your boys dive headfirst into bowl season, after dipping their dainty toes into some philosophical Heisman banter and the fiasco that is #KickersWithSwag. Some free locks are handed out, and we ain't talking about the YMCA gym room. Don't miss it.
Your boys look back on a "workmanlike" performance from the Tide in Atlanta, and recount some of the horrible Gata fans they ran into. Sober SEC venues, "Bama fatigue" and girly cars are among the many lamented topics.
The SECCG is here, which equates to the yearly Player Haters Ball for your boys. We'll talk jorts, the Iron Bowl, and Dabo Swinney's pizza parties. PLUS, we divulge our #sources' takes on where Kirby, Lane and poor Mark Richt end up.
It's Thanksgiving, and your boys are certainly thankful for a 55-6 win over Charleston Southern last week, but more pressing matters are at hand. We breakdown the upcoming game against Alabama's second-biggest rival, the cow college itself, and give some HOT TAKES for what to expect.
Think the Charleston Southern Buccaneers are un-hatable? No says we. Did you know they play in NORTH Charleston? That, and many more hate-worthy facts, on this week's show.
This week: the most hate-filled speech given toward the state of Mississippi since Ross Barnett was in office. Listen in as your boys break down a glorious success over LSU and prepare for the task at hand in Starkville. PLUS: Don't miss our Hate(s) of the Week and the highly anticipated WHAT ARE THOSE Award,
Game of the Century? Maybe not, but your boys pull out all the stops to break down this week's matchup between the fourth-ranked Crimson Tide and the No. 2 Bayou Bengals. We hate some things (Fournette), we don't hate some things (Eddie Jackson), and we discuss the reasons Mark Richt may be ready to leave UGA (immigration laws).
In their off week, your boys reflect on BEATING THAT TENNESSEE BEE-HIND and how horrible things have been lately. Plus, two Hate of the Week picks that'll make us all millionaires.
Hate Week is upon us, and your boys didn't miss the memo. We recount tales of Third Saturdays past, plan for this weekend's epic Roll Bama Roll tailgate, and compare Butch Jones to Caitlyn Jenner. Don't miss it!
Only briefly interrupted by a lightning strike, the Heroes look to the Aggies. Stops along the way include hates and do-not-hates from the Arky game, Cubs baseball, plus a sad announcement from a beloved magazine.
Your boys bring the heat (and innuendo) tonight. Hate for Arkansas, mocking the Dawgs and picks galore.
We are horrible people. On the other hand, Mark Richt is a good man. Are we worried? Nahhhh.
Hate fills the air, as your boys hope the Tide can gain an advantage in its all-time series vs. Louisiana-Monroe.
