The Shirts & Skins Podcast

Matt, Mark, and Brandon are back and live for the first time in two weeks — and there’s a lot to get to. Matt was on the field at Boise State Media Day (as officially “non-traditional media”), Brandon survived the Spudman triathlon in 100-degree heat, and the Broncos have quietly changed their team goal to something a whole lot bigger than a CFP win. We get into whether “win the national championship” is a standard or a fantasy, why the wide receiver room had to change, the Rasean Jones hype, Ben Ford’s unshakable Paris Hilton take, and Mark’s hot take on the Nate Potter / Zak Hill offensive coordinator situation. Plus: SEC and Big Ten breakaway rumors, what promotion/relegation would actually mean for a Group of 6 school, and whether a respectable loss in Eugene counts for anything. Fall camp starts in two weeks. Let’s go. ▶ WHAT’S IN THIS EPISODE – Boise State Media Day recap — who impressed, who didn’t – The new team goal and whether it’s attainable – SEC/Big Ten super league talk and what it means for the Broncos – The wide receiver room after Matt Miller – Week 1 at Oregon as 24-point underdogs – Why the OC setup might not survive the season 0:00 Live and fighting the controls 1:50 100-degree swim meet in Mountain Home 3:20 Brandon survives the Spudman triathlon 7:30 Heart rate zones and knowing your limits 9:45 The Twin Falls In-N-Out situation 11:15 Matt goes to Boise State Media Day as “non-traditional media” 13:50 Getting Spencer Danielson on camera 15:30 No snacks, no chairs — was Media Day worth it? 17:15 Max Stege, the iCarly theme song, and the best interviews 19:00 How we got invited to Maddox’s wedding reception 20:20 Boise State’s new team goal: win the national championship 21:30 The triathlon analogy — is the natty an attainable goal? 24:30 SEC and Big Ten media days and the breakaway threat 26:15 Calling the SEC’s bluff 30:00 Would a reset — or promotion/relegation — be better for Boise State? 33:15 Could Micron build a dynasty with NIL money? 38:15 The wide receiver room after Matt Miller 39:00 Rasean Jones is the name everyone is saying 40:00 What actually went wrong at receiver last year 43:00 Ben Ford, Paris Hilton, and sticking to your guns 46:00 Offseason highlights: North End Zone and the new blue turf 48:00 The indoor facility lighting problem 49:20 Terrious Favors and the freshmen to watch 50:40 Is anyone actually taking Maddox’s job? 52:20 Sneak peek at the new merch 53:00 What do we even call a fifth-year player now? 54:00 Media Day superlatives, mustaches, and mullets 58:30 Smoke season means football season is close 1:00:00 Fall camp starts — be careful what hype you buy 1:03:00 A history of season openers, and then there’s Oregon 1:04:00 24-point dogs: is a respectable loss okay? 1:06:00 We’re 3-1 all-time against Oregon 1:06:45 Looking back at Notre Dame and scoring 7 points 1:07:30 Hot take: the Potter and Zach Hill OC problem 1:10:00 The Fresno State stat line that says it all 1:12:45 Win predictions — is 10-2 the standard? 1:13:40 The Alabama NIL story 1:15:00 Who quit on the team last year? 1:18:00 What we’re watching in the receiver room 1:19:00 Wrap-up: help us get to 1,000 subscribers 💬 Drop your Boise State win prediction in the comments — we’re formalizing predictions before the opener. 🔔 We’re chasing 1,000 subscribers.
