just happy alabama is playing... traveling 9 hours to be there
I liked this podcast at first. A few weeks later it's gotten really old. The one guy is okay and seems knowledgeable, he's obviously a sports writer and knows his stuff. He does have some good insights on topics. The other one - the comic relief - is just obnoxious. Everything he says is strictly opinionated and is always biased toward Alabama. He talks entirely too fast and never says anything of substance. If you took the actual sports writer and paired him with someone else, this podcast might be better. Until then, there are much better college football and SEC podcasts out there. Give this one a pass. Oh, and guys, if you're reading this: The Office went off the air almost ten years ago and it wasn't even that funny when it was relevant. Get over it. I seriously thought this podcast was sponsored by NBC or something.
Connor missed several breaths defending Moorhead....damn impressive sir. not a State fan, Go Gators
