  • Enjoy the show but the audio is beyond bad

    Taking a break from the show. I listen to podcasts every day and have never seen a podcaster refuse to fix their microphone or other audio issues.

  • Great Podcast (even with the sound issues)

    Found this pod recently and I really enjoy hearing it, but I don’t know if it’s just me, but for some reason, the guests that appear on the show (not Marc) have like a weird “digital echo” as they speak. I’m not sure what else to call it…it’s like digital garbled sounds as they speak. Makes it a bit tough to listen to. Maybe it’s just me. Not sure.

    Fight on!

  • Locked On podcasts tend to be amateurish in general, but this one is BY FAR the worst I've listened to. The host has neither the voice nor the speaking style for the medium, and the listener is often subjected to him stumbling over his words, repeated takes without editing, and a disgusting variety of his bodily functions (no kidding). The whole thing is an embarrassment. USC fans deserve better!

Talking Points

Freshmen Football: How USC’s Freshman Lineup Could BEAT San Jose State
Q: Marc, could USC start a freshman lineup on both sides of the ball and still beat San Jose State?
Yes, the host argues that with first- and second-year players only, including true freshmen, USC could potentially beat San Jose State, especially given the roster size and weight advantage on both lines.
Chad Bowden Leading a Recruiting Surge: USC's No-Visit Policy Is Working!

The host compares current roster size to past eras, noting a significantly larger and more athletic team and suggests the overall trend shows USC's recruiting and size have improved markedly.
