  • Episode 285: Dusty May Michigan exit brings Warde Manuel into focus, Paul Finebaum doesn’t care for Texas Tech at all
    Jun 25 2026

    Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!

    For every transaction, there is an equal and opposite transaction.

    On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) once again flew solo like a cup, as Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) continues to try to presumably pull Mjolnir out of the earth itself.

    Buhler discussed the potential ripple effects that could manifest from Dusty May leaving Michigan for the Dallas Mavericks.

    This puts Michigan AD Warde Manuel into focus, as well as paints Duke AD Nina King in a positive light, as Jon Scheyer did not head to the NBA.

    After that, Buhler gave his thoughts on the toughest college football stadiums to play in, reacted to Paul Finebaum's thoughts on Texas Tech, and if Kalen DeBoer's unique recruiting plan for Alabama is going to work or not.

    He finished up the show with some Fore! For Four/Definitely, Maybe, as well as loosened it up a bit with Iowa State finally able to enjoy some libations.

    Kick back and relax because this is False Start!
