College football season preview, from Manning family lore to Bill Belichick’s coaching debut at UNC, with Jessica Smetana

Madeline and Charlotte are thrilled to welcome a guest that they’ve been wanting to have on the show for a LONG time — Jessica Smetana! Jess is a sports commentator and analyst. She currently hosts The Echos podcast with Mike Golic Jr., and you may have seen her on Vice TV’s Sports Gone Wrong or on a Meadowlark Media property. Jess and Charlotte have also been friends and colleagues for almost 10 years, and used to host The Most Valuable Podcast together (RIP). The gals covered a lot of ground together for this college football preview. How well will Belichick and UNC actually perform this year, and will his personal life be a distraction? Why is college football historically the messiest sport? They also discussed the lore of the Manning family (and why Archie Manning is the Kris Jenner of college football), NFL nepo babies in college football, the story of Houston Nutt, Hugh Freeze, and an escort service (yes, those are names of real people), and much more!
