Cover 3 College Football

Travis Hunter is just Adoree Jackson with better PR

Bud. We know you love football. But dude control yourself on the reaction show interrupting people to say “wow BYU!” Or just narrating a big play for whatever 11pm game is on during the live show. It makes for pretty bad podcasting. It really brings nothing to the table and just distracts from the actual games being talked about. Everything else is great though. Love the pod and will always listen.

I love the pod, and all episodes are a part of my weekly listening routine. Since 2021 the locks pod has been one of my favorite shows because it’s been a great combination of game previews and gambling insight (I get that second part isn’t for everyone). This year I’m starting to lose interest because of the addition of the Mackenzie segment. I’m no Mackenzie hater, I think there can be a place for her on the show. However, her popping in and throwing out random picks before the big games have been discussed completely throws me off as a listener. Guys are agreeing with some picks, fighting others, and then these games don’t get the conversation they deserve because there’s no order to things during her segment. When she popped on with one pick, no big deal. Now she has several at once and they don’t follow the format of the rest of the show. Why can’t her picks come later after big games have already been discussed? Hoping for some format changes in the future or this may not be as big of a priority for me.

The best show each week is the reaction pod. The Locks episode has become way too convoluted. There has been a precipitous drop-off from last year. Generally more Bud + Tom and less Danny Kanell/regular guests.
