Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 1.9k ratings
  • Great analysis

    I just listened to this show for the first time and it’s very well done. Chris and Damien are both very knowledgeable and not afraid to drop criticisms without sounding like they’re desperately seeking attention like so many others in sports media today. Definitely a new follower and probably this is probably my go to show for CFB now.

    Thanks to the 3 lads for a brilliant show from a UK fan. Great to hear honest opinions & none of the “great coach no matter what” that other shows spout

    This has gotten so bad the last few years. Used to be good when it was the A.S.S. Even was fine with Ari. Now it’s just three dudes who all think they’re the smartest person in the room, who all have terrible opinions and even worse chemistry. Can’t even tell what the content is half the time cuz it’s one person or the other just talking over everyone else.

  • Ignorant analysis

    Calling the FWAA freshman defensive player of the year “that freshman from Notre Dame,” while confidently announcing it is impossible to cover OSU in man when ND did so last year and held Harrison to less than 45 yards shows how little you bother to study beyond the surface level of OSU star power. OSU is better and will probably win, but try to put a little effort into your analysis.
