  • Highly Unfortunate

    One of these guys (maybe Stu?) has the most annoying habit of saying ‘right’ after almost everything sentence he utters. ‘It was a tough environment, right?’ Penn St is this and that, right?’ Right right right….so wrong. Unbearable.

  • 3 hosts are mot better than 2

    the chemistry seems off with the addition of Ralph. I like what he has to say but he takes too long to get to the point and there are times that the three hosts talk over each other. got back to 2 hosts and have the third as a occasional guest.

  • Are u serious

    I was skeptical about adding a 3rd guy. Then after week 2, his AP ballot has an 0-2 Notre Dame ranked at #15. Lost all credibility. Good Lord.

  • Question about the last episode

    Real question- did Ralph go to Notre Dame? After his defense of them, he immediately was critical of Indiana and the former Notre Dame head coach who decided to leave for LSU. Curious those were the two points he wanted to make after his defense of an 0-2 team ranked 15th

  • Great show, but get rid of Ralph

    Love Stu and Bruce they know college football. The show is better as a two man show. Ralph should have his own show he brings a different vibe and throws off the chemistry. Bring back the old theme song too.
