Feeling the need to pick out the perfect holiday gift for diehard college football fans, The Solid Verbal invited a special guest on this week’s pod: ESPN’s Chris Fowler.

Fowler reflects on some of his favorite moments from the 2011 regular season and also rehashes the meteoric rise of College GameDay, which is now the preeminent college football show on television. Plus, Ty Hildenbrandt and Dan Rubenstein chat with Fowler about direction of his alma mater’s football program, the controversial ending to the 1991 Orange Bowl, and the future of American tennis.
