The Alabama Crimson Tide

A preface: these interviews were recorded before Alabama lost a bowl game to Michigan. All the same, we got Jamie Howard, Demetri Ravanos, and Matt Scalici on to talk about the first year post-Saban, the lasting cultural importance of Bear Bryant, the relationship between Paul Finebaum and Bama fans, the Iron Bowl, and a lot more.  We're Not All Like this is produced by Michael Surber and sponsored by Homefield Apparel - use offer code LIKETHIS to get 20% off your first order at homefieldapparel.com

This episode is not 100% about the art of throwing a tortilla at a Texas Tech football game, but it does have quite a bit on that subject. We also talk about the urgency of finding success in women's basketball again, the motley crew of men's basketball coaches, the strangeness of Lubbock as a place, and Patrick Mahomes. Many thanks to RC Maxfield, Hasan Masood, and Brice Paterik for appearing on this episode.  We're Not All Like this is produced by Michael Surber and sponsored by Homefield Apparel - use offer code LIKETHIS to get 20% off your first order at homefieldapparel.com

We're trying something different on this episode, talking to three different Heisman Trophy voters - Sam Khan Jr., Jon Wilner, and Spencer Hall - about how one gets to vote on college football's most famous award, whether it's harder to pick a winner or a cutoff for the top three, if a defense-only player will ever claim the Heisman, and much more.  We're Not All Like this is produced by Michael Surber and sponsored by Homefield Apparel - use offer code LIKETHIS to get 20% off your first order at homefieldapparel.com

We're joined by Chris Vannini, Matt Sheehan, and Jeremy Dewar to talk about the Michigan-Michigan State relationship, how that rivalry changes on a hockey rink, the past, present, and future of Tom Izzo, how Spartan fans have wrangled with the Larry Nassar scandal, and whether there's such a thing as a Michigan State Man.

Pitt Football has staked a claim to nine national championships and can point to ten alumni in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Panthers also have complicated relationships with two teams not in their conference, an NFL stadium that they call home, the number one volleyball team in the nation, and a whole host of anxieties. We discuss all of that with guests James Santelli, Jonny Gamble, and Obnoxious Pitt Girl (her name, not ours).

College football is a weird sport, and Texas A&M might be the weirdest school in it. We sat down with Kacie Rowlette, Jay Arnold, and the elusive String to talk about traditions, expectations, the meaning of the Texas rivalry, and what the world will look like only if the Aggies manage to avoid further stumbles this season.   We're Not All Like this is produced by Michael Surber and sponsored by Homefield Apparel - use offer code LIKETHIS to get 20% off your first order at homefieldapparel.com

JMU Football made a big splash upon entering the FBS ranks in 2022, going 19-5 in their first two years (while not being allowed to play for the Sun Belt title). Then, head coach Curt Cignetti and several top players left for Indiana - where things have also gone pretty splendidly. So what does all this mean for fans of the Dukes? Amidst all this success, what have been the moments of JMU struggle? And which women's program gets the most attention at a school that had women's sports before men's? Listen as Jessica Black, Rob Abbott, and Stephen Hartzell walk us through the JMU experience.

Like the USF cousin it doesn't really want to visit anymore, UCF is a young school and an even younger athletic department. We talked to Jeremy Taché, Eric Thompson and Christian Simmons to learn more about what the Knights want out of the Big 3 schools in Florida, the pros and cons of the move to the Big 12, what the 2017 season means today for the fanbase, and how softball is setting an interesting new standard.

In the last fifty full seasons of Ohio State football, the Buckeyes have won nearly 80% of their games, and they've had 22 years where they either went undefeated in Big Ten play or only lost one game. But the life of an Ohio State fan is not stress free, and we have Ramzy Nasrallah, Ben Teaford, and Matt Brown explain the significance of the Michigan rivalry, what to make of the school's prominent costumed fans, and the Ohio-ness of being a Buckeye.  We're Not All Like this is produced by Michael Surber and sponsored by Homefield Apparel - use offer code LIKETHIS to get 20% off your first order at homefieldapparel.com

Virginia Tech's fans have some good things going for them - a beautiful stadium that's always energetic, a women's basketball team that recently made a deep tournament run, an in-state rivalry that they dominate in football, and a legendary coach who's still a big part of the program. They also have some challenges to deal with, like the actual football results, the coach and two key players leaving the women's team, and the "what even is the ACC" thing. I talked to Pete Bertheaud, Mark Umansky, and Andy Bitter about the experience of rooting for the Hokies to find out more (and get some turkey leg tips).
