For the first time in more than a decade, EA Sports finally -- FINALLY!! -- dropped a new version of the old NCAA football video game this week. College Football 25 going live is a big moment for those of us of a certain age, and Craig wasted little time diving in. We've got lots of thoughts about an institution that has made its triumphant return!

Also included this week: The long-awaited Ol' Crimson Legendary Lager review, and the appearance of a special guest — Michael Preston, the former host of The CougCenter Hour, joins us for some podcast bloviating during our Q&A.

Topics of discussion

• CFB 25 …

  • How does the game compares to past iterations?

  • WSU’s treatment in the game;

  • How to have some fun by screwing UW and the other Pac-12 defectors;

  • And a curious omission from the WSU gameday experience.

• New AD: We’re really excited about Anne McCoy taking over after her formal introduction earlier this week.

• Beer: Jeff and Craig — Ol’ Crimson Legendary Lager (Pike)

• Q&A! What do we think about replacing Matt Chazanow, is mayo good, and more!
