Tonight’s episode will be about the beginning of the 2023 College football season.

Nebraska lost their first game to Minnesota in horrible fashion, allowing the Gophers two turnovers and a 10-point comeback.

Colorado won their first game 45-42 over TCU. Their offense lead by Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter looked much better than anyone expected.

Then there is the issue of the games being shortened. Look at this:

Breaking down the TCU/CU broadcast:

Game length: 3 hrs 36 mins 42 secs
Ads: 49 mins 27 secs
Ad breaks: 25
Ratio of game to ads: 3.4:1

1st/2nd Q had a stretch of 1:17 on the game clock that had 9 mins 30 secs of ads.

Approx mentions of Deion Sanders/Prime: 56
Sonny Dykes: 10
