Ep 1185 - New Year's Episode Part 1: College Football Narratives

CrimsonCast

Part One of a two-part episode to ring in 2025! This first podcast talks through some of the narratives we saw and heard throughout the first two rounds of the College Football Playoff. Were Indiana fans right to feel aggrieved and picked upon in the process? Why did ESPN (and others) persist in pushing a narrative that has been undone by reality? GC goes solo on this as he talks through some of the key elements of what we've been exposed to over the last couple of months, and discusses the importance of narrative and framing in a sport as nakedly political as college football.
