When CFB25 dropped, it was for the long suffering fans who waited a decade for the series to return. When CFB27 was released, it felt like it was for the long time fans of the series, and rewarded smart playcalling and strategy. When CFB27 arrived, it should have had a warning label on the cover that said if you didn't play D1 or haven't spent the last three years of your life as a defensive coordinator in a Power 4 conference, you are in trouble. CFB 27 is the most in-depth college football game ever made, from control of your players...

Sometimes we just feel fated to lose. FCS West comes out hot, and we can't stop them no matter what. We convert a 3rd and 15, and our idiot left guard gets a holding penalty. We take the lead with 51 seconds to go, and the computer completes six straight passes and scores easily.

It's B.S. It's heartbreaking. It's frustrating as hell. But is the computer cheating?

We are stoked to have Matt Brown back for another interview. He's an expert on the financial side of college sports, and he gets the inside scoop on EA NCAA Football thanks to his contacts in the gaming industry and in collegiate athletic departments. He is also the two-time host of the Extra Points Bowl, a Division III football bowl game. In this fast-paced interview, we cover all these topics and more.

Long before Anthony got married, he and Trever Helgren went to Cancun. It was a life changing trip for Anthony, and he took advantage of it. What followed was 10 days of drinking, a sun burn for the ages, nights at Coco Bongo, and an insane amount of stupid fun.

The first three days after his cancer surgery were WAY more painful than Alan Gegax was expecting, which makes them WAY more fun for the listener. In this episode, we hear how the surgery went, and what it was like being poked full of holes by a robot that looked like doctor octopus. It's the most fun you can have without your own prescription of Oxy.

A couple months back Alan and Anthony were invited to Moscow, Idaho, to visit the Breusen farm and brewery. Over a dinner and more than a few beers, we were told an incredible story about how the family came from Poland to Idaho. We knew after listening we had to bring the Scafachiverse that same story. Welcome to the Scafachiverse and welcome the Breusen Family as Sponsors.

Join us for another kickass journey into the Scafachiverse as we bring Season 2 of the show to it's official close.

In this fun as hell episode, Alan and Anthony welcome Trever back to the Scafachiverse. This time we go down a pretty funny and sometimes wildly dark road of our Intrusive thoughts. Turns out were not so different from everyone else. Have some fun!

In this amazing episode, Anthony and Alan break down which 3 star teams are the best ones to start a competitive 3 star dynasty! But wait there's more.! So much more... So much lore.... So much of Alan talking about trains. Information, banter, lore-- this episode has it all.

This episode was nearly lost. The audio didn't record properly. Luckily, we had a backup running, so the single most entertaining and revealing and embarrassing story ever told on our podcast can still be heard. Don't miss this one. Trever joins us in studio for this wild ride, as Alan tells story of how he finally lost his virginity at the age of 22.

We have all been there in a league where 1 guy just ruins it for everyone. The question always comes up, should we get rid of this guy? It's not always as straightforward as it seems so now Anthony and Alan will break it down for you so you know exactly when to whack em.

Did Alan get a handy from a Masai Prostitute while on safari? No. When his flight was delayed and he had to spend a night in Amsterdam, did he partake of the delights of the red light district? No. When an opportunity presented itself for Alan to ride a hot air balloon over the Serengeti, did he go? Again, no.

But he DID face off against some elephants, encounter some shocking anti-Semitism, and catch AIDS. So that's something.
