  • Dan Wetzel and Pat Forde now!!

    Updating review to keep Pat Forde and Ryan McGee on podcast if you want to improve ratings and want me to listen every week!!!!! …original review: Please please please give the reins of leading this podcast to Dan Wetzel!! Just take a look at the reviews and ratings of College Football Inquirer compared to this podcast. There are already enough generic CFB podcasts and ESPN needs to let Wetzel take over or start new podcast venture.
