  • Great quality and we love Doug

    I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship with Doug because he pisses me off but I always come back no matter what show he’s doing. He’s just the best podcaster on the Osu/ greater big ten beat. He’s driving Midwest football right now. He’s always been an innovator in a world where everyone else does the same 3 pods on repeat every week.

    To say the 5 part series was GREAT !!! would be a understatement also Kings of the North pod is a must listen for me now

    Would have missed it if I did not hear you guys on The On3 pod

    As Michigan fan it was hard to see The Ohio State win another national championship but glad they kept it in the the BIG10 and the North

    GO BLUE!!!

  • Irritating

    Hard to get behind a show, as a buckeye fan, that produced a show about how awful it’s been from a quality perspective for northern football. I believe I heard you say the north was terrible at football for 25 years. Is this SEC trash? I’ll keep listening because it’s still college football. I am really bothered by the 25 year trash and skip ahead in the pod every time it’s referenced.

  • The north is back!

    Fisrt of all you guys do a great job on the pod. The new mini series on Southern dominance and the recent north resurgence got me thinking…. We are so back!

    I coach 11u football in Northeast Ohio (NEO Flight). We won the Pop Warner Superbowl last December over the undefeated Ft Myers Firecats (search it up on youtube). Everybody had us losing because of the bias you cover in your show. Other teams from Ohio won the 10u bracket in Pop Warner (Richmond Fastbreak) and the 12u bracket in anothe... more

    Doug owed listeners some account of what happened with Austin and Birm, instead of acting like he and Bill had just been taking a week off from the pod.
