  • Patience/friendliness

    If Tyler mocked the fans a little less that would be great. I get it, fans can be, well, FANatic, and you get tired of it, but they are also why you can have a podcast. So, show your frustration with them/us a little less. Thanks.

  • The opposite of hard hitting

    This podcast is the opposite of hard hitting. They offer fluffy non critical analysis. They did the same when Kelly was the coach. They only got “tough” on Kelly after Kelly left for LSU. Irish Sports Daily and Irish Breakdown and more hard hitting and really tell you how things are.
