We Are Maroon and Gold Episode 002

Chandler comes back from winter break to talk football with his friend Aaron. In this episode, they go over their favorite games from bowl season, take a detour to discuss the quarterback draft class, and then discuss what we want in a college football playoff system.

A few notes:

At around 24 minutes, I say that Baker Mayfield "drunkenly punched a police officer last summer, or something like that." The story was in fact far closer to "something like that." Mayfield was drunk in Fayetteville, Arkansas and ran away from some officers, who then tackled him. Mayfield was charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and fleeing and resisting arrest; and he pleaded guilty to all three charges. However, Mayfield did not punch any officers. I must have mixed up his story with another person's.

After we mentioned that the men's hockey team was still on track to make the NCAA Tournament, they promptly got swept by Michigan. At home. The Gophers are now 13th in the USCHO poll and tied with Michigan for 15th in PairWise, which means they are on the bubble unless they turn things around. I don't have a ton of confidence that they will.

At the end, we say we are going to talk about my rankings of albums I listened to in 2017. Instead, things end abruptly, as the studio in which we were recording would not allow us to go more than 90 minutes. (We started recording a little before we started talking, and I always edit the podcast for concision.) That conversation did occur, but it will be released next week.



The next episode should be released next Tuesday, but as the semester begins, I want to figure out my schedule and what time works best for me to record the podcast, so do not count on Tuesday as being the regular day.
