Ralph is just not a good add. In love with the sound of his own voice. At least Bruce mentions Miami sometimes
This was a great podcast till this Ralph dude came on. Doesn’t like talking coaching changes, won’t go out on a limb at all, he just bup bup bup all the time. He is very ivory tower, & just wants to “grade” & criticize everyone else. When he didn’t have internet this show was great. Please get rid of this Ralph guy.
I used to listen to the AP podcast with Ralph. And he is so Alabama centric it’s not funny. It came towards the end of the most recent episode, but he just had to say something about Alabama.
Hey Ralph, Saban is retired. Find a new team to pump up way beyond what they deserve.
And hey, why use 20 words to describe something when you can use 100? Looking at you, Ralph.
Question for Stew,is there ever a chance you could make an updated version of Bowls Polls and Tattered Souls with CFB getting even more chaotic and weird and crazy?
We cannot state too strongly how much Ralph needs to go. He has made a good show literally unlistenable.
Previous comments: I’m sorry to say that all of the commenters are correct. Ralph talks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much. He bizarrely thinks he’s the star of the show. He is quirky to the point of infuriating. He ruins the balance and pace of every show. He has crazy takes — despite supposedly being a decades-long expert. He is highly irritating in many, many ways. He needs to go.
