  • Applaud the effort

    These guys are consistent about coming out with podcasts, but when you try to have the angle over covering an entire conference, they should do better to hide their fandom. It clouds their opinions on every team that isn’t their own and it, to a neutral, can come off that the other schools don’t mean anything.
