As we are now just about 10 days from college football season, Aaron continued his month long podcast preview series on Monday, breaking down the Big East with Mark Ennis of CollisionCourseBlog.com. To download this podcast on iTunes, please click here.
This was Aaron's most entertaining preview yet, as he and Mark spent an hour discussing:
- How new Louisville coach Charlie Strong is changing the culture of losing at the school
- What Butch Jones needs to do to maintain success at Cincinnati
- On a bit of a side note, why former Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly will find success at Notre Dame
- How Pittsburgh has finally found stability in the Dave Wannstedt era, and why Mark- hesitantly- has them pegged as his favorite in the Big East
- Why winning the 2008 Fiesta Bowl may have been the worst thing to ever happen to Bill Stewart and West Virginia
- If Stewart can finally get his team over the nine win hump and back into Big East contention
- Why UConn may be the most dangerous team in this conference
As we head toward college football season, Aaron continued his look at all six BCS conferences on Wednesday night, when he was joined by Adam Silverstein of OnlyGators.com.
In this action packed preview of college football's top conference, Adam and Aaron discuss:
- Why it will be nearly impossible for Alabama to have a third straight undefeated regular season
- Who are the new faces at Florida that every fan needs to know
- Why Georgia no longer strikes fear in the rest of the SEC
- If Arkansas' comically bad defense has finally caught up with their high scoring offense
- If LSU's Les Miles is really on the hot seat at LSU
- What the differences are between new quarterbacks Cam Newton (Auburn) and Jeremiah Masoli (Ole Miss), both of whom have had trouble with the law
- What Dan Mullen will bring to Mississippi State in Year 2...

Earlier this week, Aaron continued his conference preview podcasts by discussing the Pac-10 with Washington Huskies beat writer, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times. Bob was nice enough to take a few minutes out of his schedule to talk with Aaron about the following topics:
- How new Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott almost turned the college football world upside down this summer with expansion.
- What were Scott's true motives behind the Pac-10's east coast media road trip a few weeks ago.
- Why Oregon should still be the favorites in this conference, despite the loss of Jeremiah Masoli.
- What Jake Locker needs to do, not only to get Washington to a bowl game, but to put himself in the Heisman Trophy discussion.
- Why, even with the loss of Toby Gerhart, the Stanford Cardinal are still a threat in this conference.
- How recent injuries may have hampered UCLA's season before it even began.
- And much, much, more....
Folks, college football season is right around the corner, and now is the time to start doing your homework. Join Aaron and Bob for a comprehensive Pac-10 debate today!

On Thursday, Aaron continued his breakdown of all six BCS conferences by talking some ACC Football with former North Carolina Tar Heels cornerback and current football analyst Michael Felder of InTheBleachers.net.
Michael and Aaron had a great conversation all things ACC, with Michael giving incredible insight on the following things:
- Why Virginia Tech has to beat Boise State on opening night.
- What the status of North Carolina defensive tackle Marvin Austin is, and why it might not be as big a deal as many think heading into the season.
- How the Miami Hurricanes are different than last year, and what they need to do to win their epic Week 2 clash at Ohio State.
- Why Georgia Tech quarterback Josh Nesbitt is college football's most important player, yet the Yellow Jackets MVP might be new defensive coordinator Al Groh
- What the flaws of the three Atlantic Division favorites- Florida State, Boston College and Clemson are- and why each is suseptible coming into 2010.
With college football camps opening nationwide Monday, Aaron will be breaking down all six major conferences in the coming weeks, with experts from around the country.
On Monday, Allen Kenney of Oklahoma Sooners site BlatantHomerism.com, stopped by for an in-depth breakdown of the upcoming Big XII football season. In this hour long podcast, Aaron and Allen discuss...
- Big XII Conference realignment, and whether the conference is viable long term.
- The Oklahoma Sooners: They're the preseason favorites. But is Landry Jones ready? Can DeMarco Murray stay healthy?
- The Texas Longhorns: Are we overvaluing Garrett Gilbert's performance in the BCS National Championship Game last year? Despite the losses on defense (Earl Thomas, Sergio Kindle, Lamarr Houston) is this still the best unit in the conference?
- The Nebraska Cornhuskers: Are we overrating this team based on the last few games of 2010? Can this offense put up enough points?
- The Texas A&M Aggies: Will this defense get better? Can they hang with the big boys of the Big XII?..
- The Texas Tech Red Raiders: What should we expect in year one of the Tommy Tuberville era?
- Allen's Big XII sleepers and busts for 2010 and much, much more.
On Tuesday, Aaron was lucky enough to sit down withOakland Raiders Rookie Defensive Tackle Lamarr Houston. This is a must listen for any Texas Longhorn or Oakland Raiders fan, including Lamarr talking about the following subjects...
- His unconventional route to the defensive line after being an All-State running back in high school.
- What it was like for him to come to Texas just months after the Longhorns captured the BCS National Championship
- How Texas Defensive Coordinator (And Head Coach in waiting) Will Muschamp helped him reach the NFL level
- His discussions with fellow Oakland rookie and former Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain about last year's BCS National Championship Game
- What he hopes to learn from veteran Oakland defensive tackle Richard Seymour
- How Jason Campbell has already made his presence felt in Oakland
- What Lamarr's expectations are for his new team heading into the 2010 NFL season
On late Thursday afternoon, I was lucky enough to sit down with Rashad Mobley, Washington Wizards beat writer for HoopsAddict.com.
Rashad gave incredible insight into the playoffs, but started with the NBA Draft process discussing the following subjects:
- How he found out that his beloved Wizards ended up with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. It's not how you think! - How much different Washington will look next year, regardless of who they take with the No. 1 pick - Will a potential backcourt of Gilbert Arenas and John Wall work? - What the Wizards need to do going forward to make themselves a playoff team again
We continued our conversation about the NBA Playoffs, as Rashad broke down each of the four remaining teams. Amongst his insights:
On Thursday, Tom Finn formerly of CBS Sports stopped by for another jam packed baseball podcast.
Amongst the many topics discussed, included:
- The race for the AL East - What the heck is going on in Boston - Why the Yankees aren't playing nearly as well as they're capable of - What the Mets have done to emerge from the shadows in the NL East - His division favorites going forward - And much, much more...
Folks, if you're a hardcore or casual baseball fan, or someone who is just getting into the season as the summer is starting, this is an absolute must listen!
Finn and I covered a lot, and I promise you won't leave disappointed!
On Monday, Oklahoma football expert Allen Kenney of BlatantHomerism.com, stopped by to engage in a lively debate with Aaron on the 2010 NFL Draft. The conversation initially started with Allen making the case for Sam Bradford as the No. 1 overall pick, and Aaron making the same argument for Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen.
Amongst the many topics discussed regarding the two top quarterbacks were...
- The intangibles that separate Bradford not only from Clausen, but everyone else in this draft - Whether Bradford's shoulder injury should concern Rams fans - Whether Clausen's pedigree as the "LeBron James of Football," will help him handle the NFL pressures - If Clausen simply won enough games in college to prove himself worthy of a No. 1 overall pick
The conversation then turned to the remainder of the draft, where Allen and Aaron discussed additional subjects such as...
On Wednesday night, I had the opporunity to talk a whole lot of college hoops with BlatantHomerism.com's Allen Kenney.
