About this listen

Welcome to the Pick Me Podcast, a college football podcast for anyone who feels like they lose their partner to football every fall.

Think of this as your playbook for making Saturdays (and every other day that pigskin is on your television screen) more fun. I'll explain the game in plain English, share the drama and traditions that make it entertaining, and give you jsut enough knowledge to join the conversation.

So, if you've ever rolled your eyes when apple picking got cancelled for a 'big game,' this podcast is probably for you. I will help you survive football season and, who knows, you may even enjoy the ride.

  • Flag on the Play: Are the Refs in on It?
    Nov 8 2025

    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)
    Oct 31 2025

    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

Plus, I’m sharing a quick life update and what’s been going on behind the mic.
