  • Misleading headlines/ click bait

    This show has just turned into the worst click bait national inquiry type of headline show. I used to like it, now every time I read a show I’m like oh what’s that about, nothing that’s what it’s about, nothing but Craig’s commercials and advertisements.

  • Sponsored on team pages

    The podcast itself is fine. But to sponsor episodes on the Locked On Nebraska page with a title implying you discuss the team in any way then making zero mention—not even in passing—of the team is a scummy move that taints the brand. Be better.

  • Like audio sandpaper

    This has got to be one of the least pleasant listens in all of podcasting. It’s a bunch of boring, uncharismatic, smooth brained imbeciles bickering about sports. They have no chemistry or interesting insight so the show is wholly unpleasant. I wish it would stop ending up in my queue.

  • Locked on < HALF of the B10

    I tuned in to see if there was anything valuable on this podcast. Turns out it’s nothing but a handful of local podcast guys who rarely speak about the rest of the Big Ten if they’re not on the current podcast. Waste of time, won’t be back

  • Hit or Miss with a OSU bias, but Mainly a Miss

    I’ve bounced back an forth from this podcast for over a year plus. I often come across football season with the hosts just going at each other which isn’t fun to listen to. Plus it seems like theirs a strong bias against Michigan by most of the people on the show and a strong bias towards Ohio State. This podcast is very hit or miss and mostly is a miss for me. I know the B10 is huge but it would be nice to listen to and hear about all the schools instead of just a few “top” brands. I guess my o... more
