  • 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.

  • Not the worst, just don’t see the show’s draw

    Firstly, “Unrivaled” portrays the show as a good Utah/BYU split opinion show, which is not remotely true. Mitchell is unquestionably a Ute homer which would be fine if the opposite side of the coin is represented, but Kirry does zero to ever push back and comes off as a Ute partisan himself more times than not. 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
