  • SEC homer…

    There’s plenty of space in the podcast world for people who want to support their team or conference. However, Mcelroy tries to make people think he’s playing it down the middle when he is such a homer. Still thinks SEC should have had more teams in the playoff.

  • Great Insight

    I like that Greg can compartmentalize his love for the University of Alabama and be realistic about their deficiencies and what they did great. He gives great insight and lets you know what it is like in these games from the quarterback’s perspective.
