  • Birm is a sad character

    He is so serious, never laughs, etc. Takes himself way too seriously. Hope he lightens up a bit.

  • Not interested

    Not sure why so many people loved these guys on THE Podcast. The best thing about them is they made me appreciate how good Bill Landis is. Funny that the show description says they’re “trusted insiders.” They may be insiders, but I don’t know trusted is a word many would use about them anymore.

  • Love it but…

    Love it but… I need the Notebook back in my life. I know Adam’s got his post game show and that likely complicates things. But we gotta figure out a way to make it work!

    (I reserve the right to be wrong about its lack of existence and will happily be pointed to another channel in this case, as I only listen to audio)

  • Good but Biased

    Birm and Ward are as connected as they come on the OSU beat but if you’re looking for in-depth X’s and O’s analysis or anything resembling an unbiased opinion I would look elsewhere. This pod needs Landis back to bring them back to reality.
