Lifelong CFB Fan. I love this podcast

I’m a Georgia fan so it pains me to say this but Greg does an amazing job. If you’re looking for top tier analysis and insights into the CFB world this is a podcast you should listen to.

If you’re confused why it has less than a 5 star average, it got review bombed by angry fans of a certain team. If the rating reflected the quality properly it’d be 5 stars. Again, I’m a UGA fan. If anyone has merit to hate a bama football player it’s me but I don’t and you won’t.

Thanks for keeping me informed while I’m living in this wasteland for CFB called Los Angeles.

FSU fans softest fan base in all CFB?

What a bunch of babies FSU fans are for rating this pod 1 star because their team got left out of the playoffs. GROW UP! If you don’t like what is being said don’t listen.

This show has been on my podcast rotation for 2 years now and I haven’t missed an episode since I started listening. Also listen to Mac and Cube as well.
