  • CAA gameday - Jimmy Sexton’s boys

    Dan Wetzel was once on a good podcast- football enquirer with Ross and Pat, I’ll never understand why he gave it up to join these jabronis.

    Sure, money, that’s why.

    This pod generally goes nowhere. Kind of talks in circles and generalities, as CAA’s network does.

    Rece is good on telecasts!

  • Wetzel

    Dan was amazing on college football inquiry. When he and Pat left, it was devastating. Glad to hear him on this show now. Should definitely be the host. Him and Tamil also used to work great on the inquiry and could do so again here.

  • Ignore the negativity. This is a great podcast.

    I don’t care anything about all the anti-ESPN foolishness, this is my favorite college football podcast for both information and entertainment.

  • I give up

    I remember when the conferences made the move to their new networks that ESPN personnel stated they would still be nationally focused. Instead every cast (and especially the one I’m listening to) is ESECN. I give up with you guys and now this podcast. The only objective people on your network is Herbstreit and Fowler. I’m deleting your podcast, and App, and will add Foxsports (even though I’m anti Fox News).
