  • Scott Wood

    The way Scott Wood described fans of other teams was spot on. I have been a State Fan all my life, my Father graduates from state in the late 60’s. I had no choice and I love the Pack. Love this run and the joy I have probably rivals that of Scott. I remember 83 and 74. Go Pack!!!!

  • fan feedback

    I am not a fan of the fan feedback during the podcasts. IMO, doesn’t add anything and breaks up the continuity. Go Pack!

    Content is good but here’s a new drinking game. Take a drink every time some one says “like”. Too many ti count!

  • I want to like it

    As much as I like Cory’s analysis I can’t tolerate Michaels negativity. It seems like there is constructive criticism and there’s just constantly pointing out what’s wrong. If there is criticism there needs to be a balance. Michael can’t just sit and say “I’m just going to be brutally honest” and have freedom to just say whatever he wants. I really want to like the podcast and I appreciate Cory’s work.
