  • Best podcast episode ever!!

    Doug’s episode ranting about the SEC narrative is by far the best episode I have ever heard from him. It was a fair and detailed breakdown of the false narrative that SEC fans and media personalities have been pushing since Texas lost to Ohio State. I hear this nonsense everyday living in Georgia and I have now listened to the episode multiple times. Thanks Doug!
