College Football Chaos and Coach Corso Farewell

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 185 - College Football Chaos and Coach Corso Farewell

This week on Church Pew Sports, we dive into the best of college football week 1, NFL headlines, and a few unforgettable life stories.

The panel kicks things off with Michigan football drama, the debut of Bill Belichick at North Carolina, and the debate over expanding the College Football Playoff. Bill Hobson questions the SEC’s push for 28 teams, while Joshua Gilmer (fresh off a dramatic wedding day hospital trip) argues for 6, and Pastor Scott Tinman—a longtime youth pastor and first-time guest—makes the case for 16.

Week 1 highlights get plenty of attention, from Devin Hester Jr.’s kickoff return to Tulane’s emotional (but denied) Katrina tribute uniforms. The group also analyzes quarterback debuts at Ohio State and Michigan, while laughing about questionable walkout songs echoing across Big Ten stadiums.

The conversation takes a heartfelt turn with a tribute to Lee Corso and his farewell from ESPN’s College GameDay. From his legendary headgear picks to his family’s involvement in his later years, the panel reflects on Corso’s unique impact on the game.

Off the field, Joshua shares how his wedding reception was cut short by an emergency endoscopy, while Pastor Paul Miller recalls officiating a ceremony where a golden retriever wrecked expensive decorations. Scott adds his perspective on navigating sports loyalties as a Chicago fan raised in a Michigan household.

The episode closes with NFL stories, including Tyson Bagent’s inspiring rise, Micah Parsons’ trade drama, and even Matt Leinart’s kids Googling their dad’s career. As always, Bill and Paul tie it back to faith with a challenge from Psalm 119: stay consistent in both sports passion and spiritual direction.

Whether you love Michigan, Ohio State, or just football in general, this episode is packed with energy, humor, and meaning.
