Very solid content

The Sunday sprint episode with the guest was awesome. I felt like I was chopping it up on the couch with the boys talking ball. Fun and balanced conversation. I would like just a bit more talk about the smaller guys. West Virginia, Michigan state, NC state, etc. Great job though. I’ll tune in more often.

College football podcast

Very good podcast lots of useful information

Pate 2.0

It’s Pate 2.0. He’s even now doing stuff “only for podcast” the way Pate does. Shannon Terry really does have a type and just goes above and beyond using it.
NoleFan1123

So much filler content

Shows should be 30min max. So many silly analogies and filler content. Not for the serious CFB fans, another POD for the casuals
opie52269

Bama hate

Really get tired of all the Georgia and Texas love. You guys are circling those two teams and yeah Kaleb Deboer was a good coach at Washington, but he ain’t nothing now I guess. JD Baker you are now Clickbait like all the other wannabe Talking Heads.

Extra pickels, please

I enjoy JD’s muscly arms

Amazing

SOOOO talented. Definitely a positive light in this profession! Super fun to listen to even if you’re not super into football!

I hate curren$y

5 Star

Great vibes! Dude really prepares well and honors the tradition and richness of the sport.
$m&m$mattingly

5 Star

Like how you really don’t show favorites. An learning from this guy what to expect from other team facing off with the team you support. Either way I enjoy learning more about college football not just from the SEC . Thanks shout out from Bardstown, KY (BOURBON CAPITAL OF THE WORLD ) Matt Mattingly the name Go Cats!!! BBN#1 lol
Jcb_197

Same song and dance EVERY WEEK

Only talks about the same 5-6 teams every single week and just changes the script you listen one week the next week you won’t miss anything if by some chance you miss the show just remember what you heard last week and it’s the same thing as the upcoming week, I can tell you next Thursdays show right now on June 21st I can tell you every teams this dude will talk about the 22nd.

Solid

I enjoy this guy but it gets annoying how much he tries to be like Josh Pate… even uses same phrases
