Love the show fellas. Followed you here from DW. Does the hometowns of the players factor in? These national brands are paying players from all over who didn’t grow up with the rivalries. How many Ohio state and Michigan players are from Florida or Texas? Did they really grow up caring about that game? It matters in the rankings and it’s something that bothers me about the Big Ten’s ascendancy now that they can pay players. It’s not state or regional pride anymore. It’s money.
Love the show. Would love to see you guys do more hockey.
Old format was better. I was definitely telling people about this show for years. This new format with On3 is a 23 minute episode that is 8 minutes of commercials so it’s like 15 minutes of sports. I get it’s not college football season, but this isn’t even the dead season for sports yet. Hope they can find some footing. I will gladly come back and give it five stars if the show improves.
Really like you guys, but unfortunately I’ve stopped listening the last year or so because it’s only college sports. Wish you talked more about the NFL and NBA, even MLB..
It’s a great sports show overall and they are now purely college football which is fine. I liked when they covered the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, and other sports when they were part of DW. Still a great show and I will continue to listen to them
