  • Remove Blutman

    Blutman is such a ball knower it’s great, but his personality and “I know everything” defeatist, college football is dead takes are so unbearable. He legitimately throws tantrums every week and ruins the flow and vibe of the podcast. Get him training in the offseason how to be a normal podcast host without whining every two minutes over most topic and saying everyone else knows nothing.

    Everyone else great.

Q: T-Bob, what was your gut reaction from this game?
This game was the seventh circle of hell for Jackson Arnold.
IS DABO SWINNEY A TOP 5 COACH IN CFB?
Q: Are you pulling the trigger on calling your guy number one? Are you holding a little bit in the tank for when he eventually becomes number one?
I think he’s earned it over a guy, just a slight edge over a guy like Freeman, who's won some big games now, but still a guy who's won two national titles.

While I think it's great to hear coaches be honest, I understand why it could ruffle feathers.
