The Shirts & Skins Podcast

This one gets real — fast. We’re joined by Jim Seaney, legendary Eagle High video tech teacher, Emmy winner, golf content creative director, and longtime Boise State fan. From Christmas vibes to absolute football therapy, this episode covers it all. We break down Boise State’s bowl loss, the ongoing Mad Dog quarterback debate, Spencer Danielson’s loyalty, NIL myths, development vs. reality, and whether the program’s ceiling has quietly dropped. We also hit college football’s shifting landscape, portal chaos, coaching culture, and why winning the Mountain West doesn’t feel like it used to. Plus: wild stories, gas station food confessions, Nate Bargatze run-ins, Shady Acres nostalgia, and one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had about Boise State football. Funny. Frustrated. Thoughtful. Long. Worth it. 🎄 Merry Christmas from Shirts & Skins.

Boise State survives a ref show in Logan, backdoors its way into the Mountain West Championship (again), and somehow we’re still arguing about who should start at QB. Welcome to another chaotic week of Shirts & Skins. Matt, Brandon, and Mark break down the wild win over Utah State, rant about the Earby PI and targeting calls, give flowers to Max Cut Forth, Riley & Gaines, and Penry, and then look ahead to a chilly title game rematch vs UNLV on the blue. We also hit the coaching carousel (hi Lane Kiffin), the absurdity of the college football calendar, an all-time Yale comeback, and a live review of Matt’s cursed “mashed potato stuffing waffle” suggestion.
