Episode 549: The Crazy Sheet Podcast: Aggie Panic, Arch Support & Underdogs With Bad Intentions

Texas A&M is fighting with the internet, Texas is looking for the quarterback-development receipt, and Scott and Marc are building an underdog card that needs an emergency contact. THIS WEEK’S CHAOS • Aggie anger management: Scott dissects the head coach’s confrontation with Aggie media and the apology that followed. Picking a fight with the people connected to your boosters is certainly a fundraising strategy. • Texas needs Arch support: What’s happened to Arch Manning’s development? The guys question Sark’s offense, play-calling and whether stalled progress could affect Manning’s draft stock—or future address. • SEC survival school: Alabama–Georgia officiating, ejections, sideline accountability and the weekly conference bruising. Another Bama–Georgia championship meeting could be coming. Everybody else: please return your visitor badge. • The weekly review: Georgia, Indiana, Nebraska, Kentucky and LSU get airtime, along with JMU’s coaching transitions, Billy Napier’s future, Oregon State’s Pac-12 positioning and praise for Boise State’s staff. • The playoff penthouse: Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Notre Dame and Miami lead the contender discussion. Expensive neighborhood. Aggressive homeowners association.
