Ringer Tailgate

The Ringer

Welcome to Ringer Tailgate—the college football show where sharp analysis, wild banter, and just the right amount of chaos collide. Van Lathan, Joel Anderson, and Tate Frazier are your sideline squad for SEC showdowns, Big Ten brawls, West Coast weirdness, and everything in between. It’s your ultimate CFB hangout: smarter than your average fan forum, but way more fun than your coach’s press conference. New episodes drop every Wednesday, and you can catch the crew live on YouTube every Saturday evening throughout the season.
