  • Entertaining and Authoritative

    Kevin and Stone (Saluki Legend) team up to give you all the latest from Real College Football. They deliver recaps and forecasts in an enjoyable, conversational way; just as if they were two guys having out in the garage discussing the action over a couple of beers. The difference is they provide a unique perspective that only insiders with their experience and connections like Kevin and Stone can. If you like FCS College Football, then this show is a must listen.

  • Meh

    One of the least entertaining and informative fcs podcasts out there. Clear from their overall social media presence that they donโ€™t care about objective coverage and just want to stir the pot with very little actual coverage based on facts and statistics. Literally every other fcs podcast you can find is likely to be better than this one.

  • Wish I could get this sooner in the week

    Great podcast about FCS. Just wish Iโ€™d get it sooner in the week. I know thereโ€™s a lot of content and that probably why itโ€™s take awhile for them to post it.

    But, by the time I get this in my feed, itโ€™s late Friday and I usually donโ€™t have time to listen on Saturday.

    Overall, like the show!
