    Mar 30 2026

    Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!

    Be seen or heard or whatever...

    On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) were reunited after a week or so apart.

    The guys looked at the college football world through a very transactional lens, as well as through the lenses of some really cool liars of note.

    Curt Cignetti has been noisy this offseason. So has Jeremiah Smith.

    All the while, Will Wade is calling Baton Rouge and Matt Rhule is definitely costing Nebraska trips to the Elite Eight.

    What's corn got to do with it? Absolutely everything, because this is False Start!

    Mar 26 2026

    Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!

    It is all happening!

    On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) flew solo like a cup with Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) making moves.

    Buhler did not disappoint on this episode by touching on Jon Sumrall's harsh comments after spring break at Florida, Kalen DeBoer's decision to bring A-Day back to Tuscaloosa, and Kirby Smart's appreciation for not having a transfer portal.

    After that, Buhler discussed the best CFB and CBB head-coaching pairs in the sport and where returning production really matters across the Power Four, all before remembering some dudes who had great playoff runs.

    When there is nothing sweet about 16, it's gotta be False Start!
