  • FRIDAY SPORTS TALK | Build Culture before Talent (Reaction to Cole Cubelic Rant)
    Jan 23 2026

    In this episode, Bo and Cartwright dive into a passionate discussion about the current state of college football, particularly focusing on Auburn's recent player departures and the mindset surrounding them. They reference a notable rant by Cole Cubelic, emphasizing the flawed obsession with individual players who have not significantly impacted the team's success. They highlight the changing landscape of college football, where success is increasingly tied to the maturity and cohesion of the team rather than just star recruits.

They conclude by stressing the importance of prioritizing culture over talent, arguing that a strong foundation will ultimately lead to better performance on the field.
