Unnecessary Roughness - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Unnecessary Roughness is my favorite podcast, and if you love college football it will be your favorite, too. Brandon and Kayce are great co-hosts and their genuine passion for the sport and their schools comes through every time. This is an immediate must-listen for me every time a new episode is released.

The podcast gives you 4 unique perspectives, all of which I enjoy and each bringing something different to the podcast.  I'm a college football fan, but don't watch games all day Saturday, but listening to this podcast keeps me in the loop on what is happening and also gives ideas for betting on games.  Not necessarily from the picks they give directly but based off of the 4 opinions you'll get while listening to the show.  Awesome job- Kayce, Jack Mac, Katie Stats and BFW.  Can't wait until next season.  

The show has been night and day since the switch-up of the cast (miss Katie Stats tho). Big Ev while an arrogant Ohio State fan, is incredibly knowledgeable and will give Michigan credit when due. Liam Blutman is a bizarre enigma but informs the masses on teams you don’t know about (G5, FCS, weaker P5 teams). After PMT this is the show I make sure to check out each week, just wish the upload schedule was a little more consistent as it never seems to be known when new episodes come out on days they say they’re uploading.

I’ll start by saying I NEVER leave reviews, this is my first review on any podcast ever. I love the bickering between Kayce, Brandon, and Katie. Even when Katie just backs up Kayce for no reason at all. However, Jack over speaking, giving terrible takes, taking credit for takes he didn’t have, and having takes for the sole purpose of going against the grain with nothing to back them what so ever besides just “I have a feeling.” Ruins it. Kayce and Brandon are great stars of the show and of Barstool, Katie knows the right time to give her takes and opinions and when to let Brandon and Kayce go at it, but Jack just injecting himself in arguments and takes he has no business being in ruins some great arguments. Please replace him as soon as possible, it would make the show much more enjoyable. His weird take on girls and his love life make it even more awkward at the beginning of shows. Please remove him from the show. Other than that, absolutely love the show and takes.

I heard this podcast was great so I decided to give it a chance. I listened to the beginning of several episodes. I say the beginning because the first 20-25m of each episode was cringe-worthy and I had to just stop the episode completely. There’s a dude with some strong southern accent that seems to yell at everyone and complains about everything. He threatened to completely end this podcast altogether if one of the other hosts admitted the movie, The Blindside, was a good movie. The other hosts quickly quieted down when that threat was made. I’m assuming the strong southern accent guy that complains about things is the boss? It seems like they discuss everything but football. The sound is dreadful as some other reviewers pointed out. I often had to adjust the volume levels. The female host and other males were good. The strong southern accent guy seems easily offended and easily triggered and weighs this show down. Late Kick AND ESPN Gameday are great college football podcasts. There is also a new one called, Until Saturday, that is decent.

The woman on the show likes to act like she has some sort of insight to give but her opinions on college football tend to be generic and with little substance. Also she somehow will bring any discussion back to Texas AM. The loud guys opinions have at least some thought put behind them a majority of the time. Not sure why the other guy (Jack I believe) is there. He doesn’t seem to contribute anything of value. The audio is also weird and not the same level which needs to be fixed by someone who knows what they are doing.
