  • Awesome Show

    Hey guys love the show! I was listening to on old episode of until Saturday after Michigan won the national championship and Ari and David came to the conclusion that it would be a long time before we saw an undefeated national champion! Either way the show is awesome, but I was thinking maybe it would be cool to do a

    n episode or two this offseason about college football history. Dynastic programs, defining figures, all-time players, etc.

    Thanks for a great show boys H2P

  • Love the Pod

    Huge fan of the pod, I’ve been listening for a while now. I’m really happy you guys are keeping it going, it’s absolutely my go-to college football podcast. I’m a longtime Utah fan, curious to hear your take on the Whittingham Michigan situation. Michigan got a great coach, we’re definitely going to miss him. Feeling optimistic about Morgan Scalley though, hoping we can keep at least some of our offense. Interested to hear your thoughts, Merry Christmas!
