  • Entertaining

    I used to be a regular listener to the UCLA channel on the 247Sports network. Unfortunately, the hosts from 247Sports network seemed to fire them, so I started looking for a new “go to” reporter.

    I then stumbled into this show. Dave Woods and Tracy Pierson were MUCH better than those on the 247Sports network. David and Tracy, unlike the hosts on the 247Sports network have a great chemistry. Plus they are the definitive experts of all things UCLA sports.

    The only thing the 247Sports network h... more

  • Brilliant analytical mind

    My son and me are USC fans. I went there for six years and my dad went there before me. However, we both agree that Dave Woods is the first podcast we go to after a Bruins football game on Saturday. Yes his sarcasm these days is at its peak over. UCLA’s complete drop into football misery brings that out, but overall Dave’s takes thrill us both. He just gets it. He understands it. I’ve thought of trying to find a way to meet Dave so that I can tell him that he needs an agent because he should be ... more

  • Brilliant analytical mind

    This guy’s football acumen and his ability to see, digest, and unpack virtually everything in a football game is astounding. Most people with this guy’s intelligence go into nuclear physics or teach graduate level Shakespeare.

    Listening to this guy break down a game and then listening to Lincoln Riley and you just can’t believe whose making the big money, Woods is at Herbstreit level (easily) but he’s much smarter, no doubt a Mensa. Get rid of that Moron frat boy McAfee and his tank tops and b... more

  • Delusional show

    Decent show but anytime they start talking about the Big Ten they are unbelievably ignorant. If Bruin fans are listening to these guys we are in for a rude awakening because they make it sound like any PAC 12 school can win 9 games in the new league without even trying. I know they’re Bruins but I thought there would at least be some attempt at journalism happening on the show
