Allendale Analytics Presents: Man Vs. Movie

Our first episode of the season. Kenny and Casey preview the Group of 5 conferences. Not only do they give you their conference winners, they break down the bottom dwellers of the conferences. It is such great fun. Get ready for an awesome season of College Football. Let us help you make some money. Listen, Enjoy, Like and Share. 

Surprise! Surprise! Bet you didn't anticipate this, Legion. That's right we breakdown the Spring for Nebraska Football. Why, you ask? Because we want to and we didn't pay attention to any of the other teams during the Spring. So, here you go. Look for some conference previews coming this summer. Enjoy, Like, Subscribe and Share

Forgive us, Legion. Our galloping stupidity resulted in the ruination of our live episode. But fret not, we are releasing this episode just in time for it to be totally irrelevant to your bowl picks. Oh well, better late than never. You can still gain financially from our picks, and if you listen to the end Dr. Loud and the Colonel call in to drop some hella bowl game hilarity. Cheers. 

Well legion, this is the penultimate episode of Man vs. Model for the 2016-17 season, and your faithful predictioneers are once again joined by Dave Wacker, who is in studio to help us predict championship weekend. In this episode we break down all the conference championship games, Kenny and the Colonel unveil some of the content on their joint Grinder account, and Mr. Wacker proposes an interesting outfit choice for himself when he hosts next week's live podcast (at Brewsky's in the Haymarket...Wednesday...8:30 pm...go there legion. Do it.).  

The most important story of the week: The quest for two has ended, legion! Kansas goes over the 1.5 win total set by Vegas at the beginning of the season, and thus begins the quest for three. In this episode we break down the Kansas win, we predict tons of rivalry games, we discuss multiple universe hypothesis in the context of kicking field goals with...unexpected...body parts, and Timmy Fireballs drops by with his Flip Dingus to pick some games. Mr. Fireballs may not wow you with his football knowledge, or his dingus, but he can flip "heads" with the best of them. 

In this episode we are joined by the first leftenant of the human resistance, r2r0, who was one of our best pickers last year. This year, however, he and his leader are sucking hind tit to the Dingus and the Road Warrior. That's right legion, math is winning both sides and totals by a large margin, and your days of sentient beings, defined a will that is free and thirst for really bad leaders are coming to an end (seriously, legion, you make really, really bad choices [see Casey as your leader, the president elect, your picks this year, etc.]). 

In this episode we are joined by elite legion member, DP, who is in studio along with his prediction model the DPDNDD20DRDVDA (wanna go get some sushi?). Though DP's official stance is that his DVDA model is a 20-sided die, we suspect it may be an isosahedral shaped alien lodestone that when thrown grants the thrower perfect knowledge of the future. Either way, it turned out some pretty reasonable predictions.

In this episode we are joined by college football aficionado and one of the newest members of legion, Dave Wacker. Dave is in studio not only to share the wisdom of his picks, but also to bear witness to the amazing week the Original Dingus turned in for week nine...and to make a very big announcement concerning the second annual "I Shaved My Bowls for This? Bowl Pick 'Em Extravaganza". (Spoiler alert: We are doing that podcast live at Brewsky's Bar and Grill, Wednesday, December 7th at 8:30 pm).

In this episode the Colonel gets a little loose after beating a serious case of Scarlet Fever, the Pick Dingus and the D2000 are still dropping bombs on the human pickers, and the Benevolent Dr. Loud calls in with the most interesting pick of the week...in the world.

Things are trending upward for the robots as both Dinguses turned in +70% performances in week seven. Also, for the first time in Man vs. Model history--which is not particularly lengthy--we are joined by a very familiar picker...our old producer. That's right, the Benevolent Dr. Loud calls in from halfway around the world via the "sat phone" to talk about everything from Pikas, to his sherpa lady friend, to the Cal Bears this weekend. Buckle up, legion, things are going to take turn for the weird. 

Half way through the college football season and the Original Dingus is back on top of the totals game (no surprise there). What is an absolute marvel is that the worst picker from last season--the guy who had an algorithm created in his (mirror) image that simply reversed his picks last year because they were so bad--Taber Dale is actually leading all human pickers, and just throwing darts this year. In this episode, Taber kindly agreed to join us in studio to do battle with the Dingus, "man to machine"...and fight they did. Tune in to see who picked what, and then watch the games this weekend to see if Taber was able to #BeatTheDingus. 

In this episode we are joined by the current leader in the totals game, Meekman, who takes a break from doing "Denver things" to discuss his picks for week six and to explain to legion why he couldn't #BeatTheDingus this week. We also hop into our brand new Nebraska Football time machine (tentatively named, "The Husker Du") to take a stroll down memory lane...and guess what we found out? The Huskers have been "marring" their victories with "bad and inexcusable fumbles" for 115 years. Buttholes. 

The Dingus is finally here and dropping official picks this week. So it is all hands on deck for the human resistance, and leading from the front (at least in the totals game), the Colonel has fully recovered from his bout with superhauntaaids just in time to make fun of Casey for getting beaten for the second straight week by his little sister [I mean...ouch, dude].  

The machines are coming! We set our sights on releasing official model picks for next week, and with the Colonel out of commission due to a bout of superhauntaaids, Casey is left to stare down the barrel of the Dingus by himself. Oh and Lamar Jackson just scored again...and again.   

In this episode we review what turned out to be a moderately interesting football weekend after all (unless you're Oklahoma State that is), Casey reads legion a bedtime story, the Colonel reveals his Grinder handle for anyone interested, and yet another team on Casey's laundry list of preseason undefeated squads falls to an unranked opponent. Yikesers.   

In this, the inaugural episode of Cornholing with the Colonel, the Man vs. Model crew breaks down the Husker performance and makes some predictions about this weekend's game against Wyoming. 

In this episode we learn the shocking truth about the future of Husker recruiting (spoiler alert: SETI is helping the Huskers recruit aliens). We also discuss how to play the Dingus against the money line, we break down the best opening weekend of games in recent memory, and after Casey's full-throated dismissal of the Dingus's Wisconsin upset pick, our human resistance leader comes face to face with the full power of the computer algorithm. 

At the very last minute, D. Myron Duncan suddenly left the state in an unofficial capacity as an ambassador of the Big Red apparently in search of defensive linemen. So, bringing you this week's sure fire picks fell upon your stalwart and always professional core of Man vs. Model hosts/co-hosts. In this episode, we break down the Cal vs. Hawaii game and offer predictions about this weekends slate of amazing games (best opening weekend ever?). 

COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS BACK!!! And not a moment too soon. There are only so many tremendously awful Netflix movies a man can watch. So, we are hanging up our movie-critic pantaloons, grabbing our mouth guards, and donning our jock straps in preparation for Season Two of Man vs. Model. We are joined this season by Colonel D. Myron Duncan, the host of Man vs. Movie, and in this episode we breakdown the 2016-17 college football landscape.     

Four men. One Casey. Eighteen beers. Eighty minutes. ALL FORTY BOWL GAMES!!! [Drops microphone like a boss; enormous explosion fills the air]
