I like the host, he asked great questions. Unfortunately the guest didn’t answer the questions very well, and didn’t give much insight into USC.
Good insights and good interviews

Clemson 10 win season streak

Oak City Native

On the Alabama, Clemson & TCU stand out episode: it was stated that Clemson has had a 10 win season every year since 2009. That is false, they went 9-5 in ‘09 and 6-7 in ‘10. They’ve had a 10 win season every year since 2011.

georgia blackout both ways

After the CFP semis while talking about the UGAvsOSU game: lots of mention of how great OSU was (which they were fantastic) their only mention of UGA was how lucky they were MHjr got hurt and that Jalen Carter was contained. Not a single word about AD Mitchell’s impact or Stetson Bennetts 190 yds w/ 2 TD’s in the 4th to win it.
