Cecil 'The Diesel' Collins burst onto the college football scene at LSU in the mid-90s and looked like he would become the next great SEC running back alongside Kevin Fault in Baton Rouge. Despite off-field problems, Collins still got a chance in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins thanks to his incredible size and speed. Collins' career never materialized due to his issues away from football and he would eventually serve 13 years in jail.

Opening Night at the Dean Dome - #1 UNC vs #3 Duke - January 18, 1986
Today we go back to January 18, 1986 for the first game played inside the newly-constructed Dean Smith Student Activity Center on the campus of the University of North Carolina. Opening a new arena 18 games into the season seems odd but having an undefeated matchup between Duke and UNC made this a game every fan wanted to be in attendance for. This might not be a game everyone talks about in this series but it had a lot going for it, including Dean Smith vs Coach K, Johnny Dawkins and Kenny Smith, and another tight rivalry game. Here's some of what we will get into: Early ESPN College Basketball coverage with Alan Massengale anchoring in studio. College starts Tito Horford and Scott Skiles in the news. Manual scoreboards Johnny Dawkins living up to the hype he still gets to this day from Duke fans. Jay Bilas as a 6th man for the Blue Devils. The legend of Steve Hale and an unexpected journey post basketball. Go back and watch the game for yourself here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnM9R3DhAWA

2023 Alabama Baseball Betting Scandal - Brad Bohannon and Bert Neff
On paper, the 8-6 win by #1 LSU at home against unranked Alabama seemed like another Friday night college baseball game in the SEC. But in the following days, sportsbooks around the country stopped taking bets on Alabama baseball and head coach Brad Bohannon would be fired before the team's next series. This is the story of the betting scandal that shocked the sport last year. Now that the NCAA has released its finding in the Negotiated Resolution document, we know more about how a man named Bert Neff tried placing a $100,000 bet in Cincinnati with incredible recklessness. Get all the details on how this day in April brought down a promising head coach and the darker side of legalized sports betting.

September 30, 2018 - Ryder Cup Singles: Rory McIlroy vs Justin Thomas
On the eve of the 2023 Ryder Cup, we go back to the final day of the last Ryder Cup played in Europe. The 2018 competition was 10-6 in favor of the Euros heading into Sunday and play began with as good of a singles match as you'll get at the Ryder Cup. Rory McIlroy, ranked 6th in the world, faced Justin Thomas, ranked 4th in the world, in a match both teams hoped would set the tone for the rest of the day. We went back to watch that 2018 singles match and look back on Thomas' 1-up win. Here's some of what we discuss after seeing it again: Who was on those two teams compared to this year, including world-beater at the time Francisco Molinari. The setup and home course advantage Europeans are so great at. Was that first hole one of Justin Thomas' best-ever? Rory being Rory on the greens at big moments. Rahm vs Tiger in singles was the nail in the coffin for the US. You can watch the 2018 Ryder Cup match for yourself here: Subscribe to us on YouTube for more old games and true crime sports:

'Hand of God' - The Game and a Jersey That Sold for $9 Million
There aren't many sports fans that won't know what you're talking about if you mention the 'Hand of God.' It's arguably the most famous single moment in soccer history because of who was involved and the stage where it took place. Diego Maradona's 51st minute goal for Argentina against England in the quarterfinals of the 1986 World Cup gave Agentina a lead that they wouldn't relinquish. Argentina would roll through the rest of the tournament and claim its second World Cup title. But what's really crazy about this story is the English player who made the mistake that allowed Maradona to have the opportunity to score that goal would later earn more than $9 million because of that infamous moment. In this epsiode, we'll tell you that story and more. What else is in this episode? Maradona's 'Hand of God' goal might not even have been the most notable he scored in that game. A few facts about that 1986 World Cup hosted by Mexico. A short recap of that infamous game. Resources: Record Setting Auction: Watch the 'Hand of God' play:

On the heels on Peyton Manning being enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we decided to cover maybe his most memorable moment as an NFL player for the podcast. Today we go back to the 2006 AFC Championship in the RCA Dome that featured two of the best quarterbacks of all-time, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. This New England Patriots team had won 3 of the past 5 Super Bowls and were looking to knock the Indianapolis Colts out of the playoffs once again.

In this episode we discuss: Where the Manning vs. Brady rivalry was at this point How both teams advanced to the conference championship BOB SANDERS and the media's love affair with him The pressure on Peyton Manning to "win the big one" The Patriots dearth of offensive playmakers around Brady and what it led to Mike Vanderjagt reference Mike bringing up the Jets parallels which will make you laugh The Alabama connection Ben makes that Mike didn't see coming We'll cover all this and more on this episode.
