  • Very solid content

    The Sunday sprint episode with the guest was awesome. I felt like I was chopping it up on the couch with the boys talking ball. Fun and balanced conversation. I would like just a bit more talk about the smaller guys. West Virginia, Michigan state, NC state, etc. Great job though. I’ll tune in more often.

  • Pate 2.0

    It’s Pate 2.0. He’s even now doing stuff “only for podcast” the way Pate does. Shannon Terry really does have a type and just goes above and beyond using it.

  • So much filler content

    Shows should be 30min max. So many silly analogies and filler content. Not for the serious CFB fans, another POD for the casuals

  • Bama hate

    Really get tired of all the Georgia and Texas love. You guys are circling those two teams and yeah Kaleb Deboer was a good coach at Washington, but he ain’t nothing now I guess. JD Baker you are now Clickbait like all the other wannabe Talking Heads.
