Summary
The Sports Gossip Show is back with a special episode ahead of the College Football National Championship. Madeline and Charlotte break down everything you need to know to make your viewing experience the most fun when Notre Dame and Ohio State take the field on Monday night. Do you ever watch a big game and think, who is that player dating? Where is this coach from? Why does this college kid endorse this company that sells clothes for dads? The gals have the answers for you.
The Sports Gossip Show also provides you with the information you need to know about the recently changed College Football Playoffs, and the history that got everybody here. Madeline and Charlotte also break down the vibes between the teams, conferences, and general landscape of college football.
Most importantly, SGS gives you a comprehensive list of the main characters in this drama. Did you know that Ohio head coach Ryan Day and his offensive coordinator Chip Kelly are both from…New Hampshire? Or that Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard and running back Jeremiah Love are sponsored by Stanley? Or that ND head coach Marcus Freeman went to Ohio State and has failed to beat them twice as a head coach? SGS has all the juicy storylines you need before kickoff.
