Iowa is the best team in college football to follow because they make people so angry by winning while being terrible on offense

I love this Iowa team so much because they make people so angry. They're so bad for their offense... People are going to be so, so angry about them playing in the Big 10 championship game. They have found, they've hacked the system. Offense is irrelevant. You could just win games in the Big 10 West by just playing defense and special teams.

Iowa did indeed win the Big 10 West and reach the Championship game with a historically bad offense, frustrating many fans.

The Phillies will destroy the all-time postseason record for team home runs

The all time record for Homers in a playoff, it was the Tampa Bay Rays in 2020 with 34 home runs in those playoffs. These Phillies are on pace to destroy that record. And it's unreal.

The Phillies finished the 2023 postseason with 24 home runs, falling short of the 2020 Rays' record of 34, primarily because they were eliminated in the NLCS.

I would rather the Phillies play the Rangers than the Astros in the World Series

I would rather play the Rangers. [than the Astros]

The Phillies did not reach the World Series, losing to the Diamondbacks in the NLCS.

Justin Herbert is basically Kirk Cousins in powder blue

I think we just need to intentionally recalibrate our Justin Herbert expectations. Like officially right now, Justin Herbert is basically Kirk Cousins in powder blue.

Herbert struggled with injuries and inconsistent play in 2023, failing to reach the elite status predicted by some, though the 'Kirk Cousins' label remains a point of heavy debate.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
