Pate State Material

Where else can you get a healthy dose of real college football content fans want from a true fan, a dose of storm chasing stories, the knowledge that Forrest Gump contained ping pong, Fleetwood Mac and football; info about the former girlfriend of the storm chaser who is now the Atlanta Hawks billionaire owners wife… enjoy it all so much like you just had a conversation with your best friend? It’s a rhetorical question - you can’t touch this (immunity)!

Awesome College Football Show!

Josh is great. He still really tries to focus on college football as a sport, and really maintains a focus on sport as a whole, as opposed to just micro-focusing on the game’s current elites. College football has always been a community-driven sport, where 60,000 people will sell out a stadium to watch two 4-3 teams play head to head on a random Saturday. Josh feels like one of the last of a dying breed, who still sees the sport for what it is, as opposed to just another season of Alabama vs. Georgia for another national title. Keep it up Josh!
