Coach Duggs is BACK...Playoffs Style!

One of your Black Friday gifts is opening early this Christmas season, as Big Cat & the whole coaching staff return to try for a national championship in 2025-26. In a collab between Pardon My Take & Stella Blue Coffee, we get to see Coach Duggs take on the newly announced college football playoff bracket.

A quick little history lesson for those newer stoolies: Coach Duggs began his career via Big Cat way back in the COVID days, as he dusted off the ole Xbox & EA NCAA Football 14 game. Most likely starting as just a way to get through the lockdowns & lack of sports, it soon turned into must-see content. Whether it was untimely interceptions or forgotten timeouts leading to late-game collapses, he always kept things on the edge. Fans of Barstool & college football became entranced with the Duggs quest for a national championship.

Then Duggs found his way back to the coaching ranks with the return of NCAA Football to the video game world in 2024, again captivating hearts & minds across the nation. I know for a fact that many were bummed not to see his return this past summer as well. Now it all leads to another quest to reach the pinnacle of college football. There will be a whole staff by his side to help this run.

The fans can also get in on the winning today via Stella Blue Coffee, Big Cat announced today of this chance for 3 winners!

Also, as an avid player myself, here are 5 plays that work at about a 75% rate for first downs or better & are simple quick hitters.

Crossers are open if you're patient

IF you get the outside its 1st down or TD!

TE clears out for the HB on the angle route

TE is open for 1st down, best on 3rd & medium/short

Throw to the RB in motion right after the snap its automatic 10 yards or more...video below

The Duggs story has not always been pretty... rooted in conspiracy, wins, losses, & heartbreak everywhere will fill up the biography. Through all the bad, he has found a way to get back to being the face of this sport. The fans all can’t get enough of him. The question always will be: is your team better or worse with him… yet can you live without him? For all the highs & lows we have seen in his historic career, another chapter of the Duggs book will be written tonight at 8:30 ET / 7:30 CT.
