Carla and Crappy Show: The Stockstill Summer Edition

The Fourth of July weekend is still in our rear-view mirror, so it’s the height of summertime — which makes it perfect for the Summer 2023 edition of the Carla and Crappy Show.

And what a show it is.

Prompted by a prediction that Crappy’s Bobcats will play the show’s beloved Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders in the pinnacle of postseason destinations – that would be the Bahamas Bowl – Carla got in touch with Middle’s sports information director … and that’s how we landed an interview with Middle head coach Rick Stockstill.

You’ll want to listen to this, because Coach Stockstill isn’t just talking Xs and Os. In the 20-minute interview, we cover the challenges of weeknight games, the fun of playing college football’s big boys and the time he torched Ohio State (and then-DB assistant coach Nick Saban) for 300 yards passing in Columbus.

What else? The Pac-Soon-To-Be-10 doesn’t yet have a new TV deal, an issue that could – or could not – be influenced by where San Diego State goes when it departs – or doesn’t depart – the Mountain West.

The Big Ten’s schedules for 2024 and 2025 made sure that Penn State is truly unrivaled, much to the chagrin of Carla and Crappy, who think their two adopted schools need to play every year.

And are we buying or selling? Sorry, Coach Prime, but at the very least, you and Colorado are on layaway for a couple years.

And with a stern warning for Ryan Day about losing streaks, that’s the Carla and Crappy Show for this summer. But fear not, boys and girls – Week Zero is just six weeks away. Enjoy the rest of your summer, yinz guys, and we’ll see you then.
