Flag on the Play: Are the Refs in on It?

This week, we’re talking about all the yellow flags we see in college football. From “Vegas controls the spread” to “the refs protect the big-name programs,” Alysha breaks down the wild fan theories making the rounds — and explains the real football rules behind those controversial calls. We’ll unpack the truth (and a little drama) behind flags, fines, and fan outrage — plus a quick crash course on the most common penalties like offsides, pass interference, and targeting. Because in college football, sometimes the refs make mistakes… and sometimes it just feels a little too convenient.

Protect Your Peace (and Your End Zone)

This week on Pick Me Podcast, we’re getting defensive — literally. Alysha breaks down what the defense actually does (and why they’re just as important as the offense), introduces you to the key players on the field, and explains what makes special teams the ultimate underdogs. From “blitzes” to “pick sixes,” we’re covering all the football buzzwords you can finally use with confidence. Plus, a life update, some relatable football-wife/girlfriend commentary, and how to sound like you totally knew what that interception meant. 💌 Send your listener questions to thepickmepod1@gmail.com 📱 Follow us on Instagram: @pickme.pod
