The Wheel Route - 25.18 (WEEK 12 RECAP)

The Wheel Route - 25.17 (WEEK 12 PREVIEW)

The Wheel Route - 25.13 (WEEK 9 RECAP)

The Wheel Route - 25.13 (WEEK 9 RECAP)

Week 9 was one for the sickos, as action on the field was often lacking in crispness and pizzazz but there was certainly some entertainment to be found if you were watching through a certain lens - we also take a dive into LSU’s firing of Brian Kelly which broke ~30 minutes before recording.

Not our best picks this go-around but a fun weekend of sport spectating - UVA takes down FSU in 2OT, Team Europe wins the Ryder Cup, Arkansas joins the coaching carousel, and more (including discourse on Buc-ee’s cuisine).

The Wheel Route - 25.3 (WEEK 3 RECAP)

Week 3 brought us some ups and some downs with mixed results dear to our hearts, but perhaps most-notably the coaching carousel has already begun spinning with both UCLA and Virginia Tech releasing their respective big whistles.
