Bob Bowlsby’s recent comments on college football transfers sparked the first segment of discussion in this week’s edition of the Saturday Blitz Podcast.

One of the beauties of college football is that it is a language that translates across regions. You can take just about any topic and fire up a discussion on the matter, whether your partner in the conversation is from the Deep South or the Midwest or the Rockies or one of the coasts.

We test that theory in the latest edition of the Saturday Blitz Podcast. With John unable to join the conversation this week, we turn to Saturday Blitz editor Connor Muldowney as a guest for today’s discussion.

Connor and I start by talking through a subject that has become a personal favorite for the podcast: transfers. In light of Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby recently suggesting that there should be a uniform, all-sports, no-exceptions, one-year transfer rule put into place by the NCAA, we could not pass up the opportunity to dive once again into that well of conversation. A new voice in the mix offers some new perspective on the matter.

Then the conversation turns from the theoretical to the subjective, as Connor and I riff a bit about some of the things that have us most excited about the upcoming 2019 season. With college football approaching its 150th anniversary, there are plenty of storylines that have the potential to turn this year into another season of chaos in the mold of 2007.

In our final segment, we go into some of the personal topics John and I have covered throughout the podcast series to date. This time Connor is in the introspection seat as he gets a chance to look back on his own set of most painful losses, most enjoyable victories, stadiums he would like to visit in person, and bowl games he wishes he could go back in time to see live.

So tune in as our fearless editor puts himself into the conversation.

Next. Remembering the Chaos of the 2007 Season. dark
