It's the college football offseason. It's February. It's cold and miserable outside, and there is no college football to watch, and Tim and Mike are deeply depressed. In this episode of the TCFA Podcast, Tim and Mike discuss their aforementioned winter depression, review Alabama's beatdown of Notre Dame, talk about the generally boring bowl season and, of course, look ahead to the 2013 season. Which is now only eight months away.

Hey, it's time to talk about bowl games. Because it's bowl season. In Episode 68 of the TCFA Podcast, Tim and Mike talk about how they're coping with the the end of college footall season, how they are occupying their Saturday hours now that they're not watching college football for 12 hours at a time and, of course, how they feel about all of the bowl games that will be played in the days and weeks to come. Enjoy, all. Because it's almost over. Seriously. And then we'll be left with awful things like basketball.

Also: Bret Bielema to Wisconsin! I mean, really!

Maryland to the Big Ten! Rutgers to the Big Ten! And no, we're not kidding. In Episode 65 of the TCFA Podcast, Tim and Mike discuss the staggering and nearly unbelievable news that the Big Ten has decided to expand by adding two of the most staggering mediocre football programs in the history of college football. They also explain why Maryland fans aren't happy about the move, explore where conference realignment may turn next, and dispel the notion that this move by Jim Delany proves that college football is evil. Because it's not. Really, it's not.
