Love the show.
Great college football talk and keeps me informed about the big games each week. Great insight from veteran guys.
Pete’s microphone does need a bit of help.

I have listened and subscribed to this podcast from the very first episode. The only other time I sent in a review (also five stars), it was to ask David Pollack a question about what he’d eat on a deserted island, which you guys actually addressed on the show! However, I have to write in and ask you guys to please, please acknowledge the other bowls besides the Playoff games. I get it that those are by far the most profitable and consequential games, but if you’re going to kick off the bowl season with a podcast, I (and others) actually tune in to hear your thoughts on WVU vs. Memphis, not *just* conversations about the playoff for the millionth time. Love you guys, will always be a loyal fan, just please don’t forget about the “little” guys (even those from the B1G and SEC)!

I listen to Rece ask to rate, review, and subscribe every podcast and I never have until now and I apologize. I just so happened to scroll and see a 2.9 rating and my jaw dropped. I don’t miss an episode. Rece is the best, period. He’s intelligent, insightful, and informed. Pete is great too other than the fact he went to Syracuse haha #GoUConn! I honestly don’t understand how anyone could say something bad about this podcast. Simply put, it’s phenomenal and I appreciate what you guys do.

I like podcasts like this where they can debate about the games formally and share opinions. These guys know each other so they can joke around and make it enjoyable as well. Great balance of debate, casual conversation and great stat dives.
