Big Game OTRH Podcast

I was not a happy camper on the drive home.  Have a listen:

Washington OTRH Podcast

Well, it wasn’t exactly one for the record books, but that never stopped anyone from podcasting. Here my thoughts on the way home from the game:

Colorado OTRH Podcast

Again I’m struggling with getting these posted promptly. I record it on the way home and it only takes 10 minutes or so to post, but for whatever reason, it always seems to slip. Here it is:

Big Game OTRH Podcast

Here’s your Thanksgiving gift from me to you:

USC OTRH Podcast

It looks like Thursday is my day. Here it is:

Arizona OTRH Podcast

Dang, I thought I was on a positive trend. Back to Thursday…

Here it is:

Washington OTRH podcast

Slowly moving it back up in the week again. By the end of the season you might get one on a Monday. 🙂

Here it is:

Oregon State OTRH Podcast

Late as per usual. But here it is:

UCLA OTRH Podcast

This is the delirious edition of the podcast. 10+ hours of driving in addition to going to see the space shuttle in LA and getting the family down to Anaheim before heading back to the game made for a LONG day, one that started at 3:45 AM.

WSU OTRH Podcast

I was “just a tad” frustrated on the way home from the game on Saturday. Listen if you like to hear a guy fighting with himself over how frustrated to be:

Ohio State On The Road Home Podcast

Alright! Making progress. Putting up a podcast on Tuesday… woohoo!

This is the “smooth Jazz” version of the podcast as I didn’t actually record it on the way home having forgotten the recorder and headset at home. So instead it was recorded late at night after the wife and kids were in bed. Thus my voice is… different.

Here it is:

Portland State OTRH podcast

Don’t worry, I won’t say “better late than never” again. 🙂

Looks like Thursday seems to be my day for the podcast so far… and that needs to change. There’s nothing like 5 day old commentary, right? If it helps, I’ve got a good excuse this time. I was in a car accident on Sunday (some idiot cut me off), and dealing with the insurance company and the such has sucked what little free time I have out of my week. Luckily no one was hurt.

In any case here it is:

Northwestern OTRH podcast

Late is better than never…

Right? Right? Right?

Big Game OTRH Podcast

Late again… I guess that’s my theme for this year. I’ve been REALLY busy at work. Up at 4 AM, working hard all day sorta busy. When one adds the evening commitments for the Church and the kids, and there just isn’t much time.

Here it is:

WSU OTRH Podcast

Ridiculously late OTRH podcast. Although the Bears seem to be winning the games I’m late on posting. So let’s hope that I’m as busy next week as I have been, and I’m late again, yes?

Here you go:

UCLA OTRH Podcast

OK, I know this is way too late. Nevertheless, there are at least a couple of people out there who indicated they’d still listen to it, so here it is.

ASU OTRH podcast

OK, not quite 2010 Washington off-the-rails, but also not my happiest podcast ever. Enjoy:

Southern Utah OTRH Podcast

Here’s the latest podcast.

It’s interesting how much things changed in the Pac-12 from when I last had data on it at about 3 PM and the end of the day. All of a sudden it looks like the Pac-12 may be stronger than we thought. Other than that, most of what I said sounds reasonable in retrospect.

Nevada OTRH Podcast

Get my positive thoughts and my negative thoughts, some about the new stadium, some about the game… I’ll let you guess which subject gets the majority of the negatives:

(One thought I had that I didn’t remember on the road: The tackling sucked! Way too little emphasis on wrapping up during the tackles. There was a lot of shoulder diving. If I was Pendergast, I’d spend AT LEAST a half of my time in the first full-pads practice focusing on tackling drills.)

Arizona State OTRH Podcast

After technical difficulties put the kibosh on the Big Game OTRH podcast, I’m back on track this week. In addition to ASU thoughts, you’ll hear about 7-5, the Pac-12 standings and bowl possibilities. Enjoy:
