  • College Ball

    Paul should be a national college football show instead of just the SEC, specially now. But basically his show describes the passion in college football nearly every day. Yeah, he gets annoying with some of his takes but this is one of the main shows in the sport where many fans gravitate.

  • Sham show. SEC homer

    This guy is an embarrassment. Someone who couldn’t make it as a waterboy now has “knowledge” about CFB. He is a paid SEC smoke show. Starve him so ends up where he belongs

  • Gaslighter

    I used to like Paul but lately it just feels like he’s a grumpy old man who talks gibberish and gaslights his audience. His takes aren’t rooted in any truth and he flip flops more than a Waffle House cook. I gradually stopped listening and now I unfollowed this hallow old man.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 2: Matt Brown Joins the Show
Q: What is the connection between Washington politics and the college sports bill, and has there been any meaningful movement since the hearing?
Brown explains that while there are arguments tying the Senate bill to broader political dynamics, there hasn't been a decisive shift yet; the bill could progress if coalition dynamics tighten, but many unrelated factors in Washington complicate passage.
Hour 2: Matt Brown Joins the Show
Q: Matt, what were the big topics at the meeting in Las Vegas and how did they frame the gambling debates in college sports?
Brown describes gambling as a central topic discussed with athletic directors and NCAA leaders, noting the visceral anger from administrators about other schools' decisions and the broader worry about enforcement, athlete compensation, and the future regulatory landscape.
Hour 3: David Dellucci
Q: What are the key pitching concerns for Georgia and Oklahoma tonight?
The guests and host emphasize how the second-start pitchers and bullpen usage will shape the game, with the need to get three solid innings from the starter before turning to the bullpen to preserve arms for the potential championship run.
Hour 2: Connor Riley, DawgNation
Q: First of all, Connor, I think we know Georgia's problems, but in terms of what's happened since we last saw them in New Orleans, what has changed?
Connor highlights the need for better pass rush, the adjustments on offense with Gunner Stockton, and the return of experienced players along the lines, while noting personnel losses and how Bobo will be tasked with maximizing talent.
Hour 2: Jake Crain, Crain and Cone
Q: What can you tell us about the Bama quarterback situation?
Both quarterbacks have shown potential, they are still green, and the competition will hinge on who can stabilize the offense and protect the ball, with the offensive line's improvement being critical to maximizing whichever passer wins the job.
