  • Lev good, Take Spears

    I enjoy this podcast and Lev is wonderful. Very balanced. He doesn’t sugarcoat things but he also doesn’t bash everything. I wish I could say the same thing about Justin Spears. I don’t know if he owes something to Brennan or what but he prefers the “rah rah” reporting as opposed to actual reporting. I don’t need you to bash Brennan (although warranted) but his constant making excuses for him is getting old. I often don’t make it through the emote podcast because of it.

  • Never say Fisch again

    Read Lev column today on the guy who’s in Washington now who had Noah Fifita on the bench behind de Laura. An injury saved the Stanford game and the season for Arizona.

    Best podcast for Arizona fans by far.

  • Can’t hear

    I don’t know what’s going on with Justin Spears microphone but I cannot hear him at all. Then up the volume and Lev is blasting through the speakers. For being an audio show you would think that’s important. And I WANT to hear the podcast. Please fix it! Been like this for a bit.
