  • Shane is good

    But all the predictions are wrong. Jc is just bad for the show. Get rid of him. Why would he be qualified to talk about Gators football?

    This show. Would be considerably better without JC. I have no idea who he is and he is boisterous and rude. I don’t know why anyone cares what he says!
