Carla and Crappy Show: The Be A Family Person Edition

Hi friends! It’s Week 3 of the college football season and, well, let’s just say the schedule isn’t quite as enticing as the past two weekends have been. So much so that AJ has declared this weekend “Be A Family Person Weekend,” and given himself the week off.

Crappy and Carla are … kind of in agreement. So instead of a normal show this week, we shift into “Games We Care About” mode and get a little personal.

Before that, Carla recaps what was a fairly chaotic Week 2, thanks to a bunch of weather delays (Did Notre Dame/NC State ever end?) and a pretty impressive slate of evening games. Crappy, meanwhile, offers Carla a pop quiz. 

We also get our first Big Red Bears Report of the year as Cornell (and Crappy’s nephew, Drew Powell) kicks off its season this weekend. Hooray for the return of Ivy League football!

Here are the games that Crappy and Carla care about this weekend: 

No. 7 Penn State at Illinois (Big Nude, FOX): The Nits offense has been spectacular. This is a game to check the defensive side of the ball.

Iowa State at Ohio (Noon ET, ESPNU): A Power 5 school travels to Athens to face what has become a stellar Ohio defense. Raise that flag, Bobcats!

Cornell at Lehigh (Noon ET, ESPN+): Seriously, you want to watch Jameson Wang play football. He’s super fun. Go Bears!

Western Kentucky at No. 6 Ohio State (4 ET, FOX): A weird start time for this one, but the Bucks should get some good reps before a big game next weekend.

Murray State at MTSU (7 ET, ESPN+): Middle just couldn’t quite finish off Mizzou last week. They should handle Murray in their home opener. (Also, listen to Jake Rose call a football game!)

We’re also both always excited about the return of the Backyard Brawl – Pitt at West Virginia (7:30 ET, ABC). This game’s at night in Morgantown. Weird things are going to happen.

Other games that have Carla’s attention are No. 14 LSU at Mississippi State (Noon ET, ESPN),  No. 15 Kansas State at Missouri (Noon ET, SECN), and Minnesota at No. 20 North Carolina (3:30 ET, ESPN), as we’ll start to see which of these teams are for real this season. Also, just for fun, Wyoming at No. 4 Texas (8 ET, Longhorn), because this might be the last chance you have to watch a game on the Longhorn Network.

Crappy, meanwhile, is maybe a bit too interested in Central Michigan at No. 9 Notre Dame (2:30 ET, Peacock), as he starts to look ahead to a huge game in South Bend next weekend.

So, yeah, the schedule’s a bit lighter. But you should still watch college football. As we all know, it’s weeks like this when weird stuff happens.

We’ll be back to our normal programming next week. Cheers, yinz!
