  • 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?

  • Get Rid of JC

    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!
