  • Occasionally, a good listen

    Listening to Sly reference only reference BYU as “team down south” is really cringey for radio.

    Go Utes!

  • JJ and Alex is terrible

    This new show is so boring. I cannot listen to it. I loved Unrivaled and Alex and Scott’s banter. Please bring back Scott Mitchell.

  • Poor Show - Lack Of Preparation And Partisan

    Scott Mitchell doesn't prepare well and isn't as familiar with teams as he should. It's really hard to listen to. Hans and Scotty should replace them.

And they’ve just been so woefully behind the news cycle on every issue, that I don’t know what fresh perspective or analysis they bring to anything. Sometimes they have good guests and th... more
