And this is what is on the Tony Barnhart Show on Tuesday on CBS College Sports.
RADIO HOST AND COLUMNIST PAUL FINEBAUM AND
TV NEWS PERSONALITY JACK FORD THIS WEEK ON
“THE TONY BARNHART SHOW” ON CBS COLLEGE SPORTS NETWORK
Barnhart Asks: Will Boise State Be Overlooked in Post-Season Bowl Games?
CBS COLLEGE SPORTS NETWORK’s THE TONY BARNHART SHOW, a new weekly one-hour primetime college football talk show, features influential radio host and columnist Paul Finebaum, and television news personality Jack Ford, who was a standout defensive back at Yale, on Tuesday, Nov. 24 (9:00 PM, ET).
“Mr. College Football” Tony Barnhart hosts the show along with Brian Jones. The hard-hitting program will debate and analyze the hot topics and issues facing college football both on and off-the-field. This week, Barnhart and Jones look at undefeated Boise State. Boise State is currently ranked sixth in the BCS, but will they be overlooked in the post-season Bowl Games?
Throughout the season Barnhart will invite a variety of high-profile guests from the college football community, including coaches, administrators, writers, broadcasters and former players to the program. The distinguished guests will offer in-depth, lively, opinionated, topical discussions on the world of college football.
The TONY BARNHART SHOW will air each Tuesday throughout the college football season at 9:00 PM, ET. Mike Aresco serves as Executive Producer. Tyler Hale and Stefan Van Engen produce.
We’re done with this post. Fell asleep with the computer, lights and glasses on. It’s why this is being posted at 7:30 instead of 12:30 a.m.
