    This show would be better without Kayce
    Get rid of Kayce and this show is 4.5 maybe even 5 stars. To her a team with more than 1 loss is awful, she meat rides every top team and has no good takes whatsoever. Liam and Brandon know the most ball out of the group and are usually pretty spot on with their takes. Ev is just a homer nothing bad to say about him tho. But man this show would be so much better without a woman who knows NOTHING about college football

    Friends but Oil and Water
    So I’ve listened for years, the change to Liam and Ev was huge but there’s something missing/off and I think I’ve got it after this weeks episode: Kayce and Brandon don’t do well together. Kayce as the lead by herself and Brandon as the lead by himself make the show so much better. Maybe it’s when they’re together or in a group of 4 but having them not talking over each other makes the show so much better. If creators read this I hope you can consider this information :)

    I like the show but…
    They just have wayyyyy too many commercials. I get it they have to pay bills, but they put ads in literally every 5 minutes. It’s getting way out of hand. And also, Brandon is annoying lately, I don’t know exactly why. It’s almost like he got an adderall prescription or something.

    Good, but needs to get the chemistry right
    I’ve been listening for a couple of years and wanted to give the new hosts a chance. I’ve come to appreciate Liam and think he’s a good fit, but Big Ev tries too hard to match Brandon’s angst and he comes across as a try hard. I get what other critics have said about Kayce parroting takes, but I still think she adds value to the show. In short, send Big Ev somewhere else on Barstool where he isn’t Brandon, Jr and bring back or someone milder.

    Need to change host
    Gina so down hill so c Katie stats and Jack Mac left.
  • JHsWholeMilk
    Big Ev is destroying this show
    This show recently changed hosted. They brought in Big Ev. Respectfully, this guy needs to work on his analysis. He’s a homer, which is fine, but forgets that we have OSU focused shows for this. It’s wrecking the show. Which is unfortunate. Because the rest of the hosts are alright.
  • PCbnbnbjgg
    Not professional quality
    This pod insults its viewers with commercials often slapped into the show mid-sentence. Come on guys, take five minutes and make an attempt at editing. The commercial grab is too much. Kayce does not know anything about college football. I honestly don’t get her appeal at all. She clearly doesn’t prepare for the pods. Her takes are embarrassing.
  • The GreyHost
    Keep up the good vibes
    I enjoy the show’s hosts. I laugh, smile and sometimes I disagree. Their voices are easy to hear..Keep up the good vibes. I can find articles online, if I need more. I listen to podcasts to be entertained and this show hits the mark.
  • Esqifty50
    Stick to a take.
    Two weeks ago KC said UGA was scary across the board and head and shoulders above the field. This week she said she has concerns about UGAs weapons and doesn’t know if they have what it takes to run the board… what lol? She mostly interrupts people so it doesn’t seem like she is repeating what Brandon says. Brandons fine. Ev better than I thought he’d be. Blut butt is smart, but he eats scoops of peanut butter before he speaks so it can be hard to understand him. Need Brandon to stop betting on Florida bc he keeps mushing them.
  • lopez918
    Why is Jack Mac and Katie gone?
    Show has been downhill since they left. Ev tries way too hard to be Ohio state Save Portnoy.
  • A_C_S_44
    Overreaction Merchants
    Good show. But they are big time overreaction merchants.
  • BWalkFamly
    New Cast less enjoyable
    Bwalk and Liam are good. K.C. Just repeats what someone else says and Ev just says cuss words as a point. Let Brandon and Liam drive and the other two maybe do stats when asked. Bring in Big T, toss out Ev and let KC just read ads.
  • Hbuck278
    Brian Kelly
    It is horrible to say Brian Kelly killed a kid the way you guys did. Make all the hot takes you want cause that’s about all you guys do but that is genuinely a terrible thing to say.
  • VLSKMS
    Please make improvements
    This show was very good when they were all able to be in studio together with the remote show on Saturday night. Now that it’s an entirely remote show it’s really killed the product. Please fix that!
  • taxablebaldy41
    Solid CFB show
    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.
  • The gamerski
    Just dumb.
    The three people I’ve heard on the show are legit idiots. The show is self is just dumb.
  • DfcNy
    Terrible
    I always give this pod a chance the beginning of every season. I usually make it 15 mins before remembering why I don't listen. Kayce is terrible. Doesn't know anything. Spews nonsense the entire time. Fake laughs the entire show. Brandon is too soft to do what he needs to do and kick her off the show. If he brings back his solo BFW College Football show, I would listen to that. Otherwise, I'll stick with Josh Pate's show until Kayce is gone
  • Gmoney2474
    Change it up
    Can we get Brandon a new microphone? It gets worse and worse each show. Blutman needs to go
  • Don'tWorryBout it
    Unlistenable
    This show is for hot takes and clicks.

    Katie and Jack
    Miss these 2 more than I would have thought. Absolutely love Kacie and Brandon, keep building chemistry with the 2 new ones. Be a little more consistent and keep up the great work. Love y'all!

    Unnecessary review
    No Brandon walker and it would be perfect. New additions are great fits and the queen KC can do no wrong( has the best takes on the show)
  • Big T is Gay
    Why did you hire a guy who can’t talk
    Blutman go see a speech therapist your rich dad can pay for it I mean good god you guys nobody wants to hear a fattie with a speech impediment talk about the backup QB for Montana State
  • bspellz
    Volume levels need to be better

    Five stars
    Brandon has the best opinion of college football! Thanks for keeping me entertained and informed.
  • TK ATL
    Love this show
    This show is freaking hilarious, there needs to be more college football content like this
  • quinncy5
    Caps
    All caps is desperate click bait……………….@Brandon I know you love/know college football. Please please pleaseeeeee distance yourself from the others on this podcast.
  • Jags156
    Walker is soft
    I messaged Walker “you don’t know football if you think Milroe is good” and he blocked me. Been listening since episode 1. Officially unsubscribing. Tell your guy Brandon he shouldn’t treat loyal fans like that. Bad look.
  • CoachO5010
    Days
    I get there was a show on Sunday, but feel like it’s been a little inconsistent past few weeks, also understand things happen. Used to be Tuesday and Thursday, is that still the case now or did we change up times? Appreciate yall.
  • Rmb84
    Walker has knowledge but none of them are likable
    Two stars only because of Walker and Jack Mac (kind of). I have nothing against women talking ball but they better be elite if you’re going to have them, much less two of them. They do have a good dynamic and chemistry between them but it’s such an unserious show. Also, none of them have much inside knowledge.
  • slm94_
    It’s an Umkaay
    Clearly nobody on this podcast has a clue what they’re talking about, but it’s a fun listen on occasion. Stay adorable kids.
  • Buckeye from Indy
    Not good
    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.
  • AJustice70
    Great show
    Have listened from the beginning! Brandon, Kayce, Jack and Katie know their stuff and very informative and entertaining.
  • AUIH22
    1st Time Listener
    I listened to this podcast for the first time today as I was podcast surfing reaction shows to Jimbo Fisher getting fired…………What a ridiculously low rent show with hosts who know little about the sport and what a low class show!! You clearly have young children in near proximity to one of the podcast host’s since you hear them screaming close by. Additionally, the child’s mother is screaming the f-bomb out loud along with other curse words! Just unprofessional all around.
  • daddymonstercock
    GO TIGERS
    Brandon is my favorite Clemson hater. Jack Mac knows ball and the ladies are the glue of the show.
  • a nickname.............
    They don’t stop
    No one is better at beating a dead horse than Brandon. If you try and refute Kayce she has to say “No” 20 times before she can say another word. Jack thinks this is a political podcast. Katie is depressing to listen to when talking about her own team. Live a little
  • SingleHighisDead
    No More Chances
    I’m a very avid college football fan and I can’t understand how Barstool hasn’t figured this market out. I give this show a chance every month or two and every time I decide to listen, I just get reminded how ill-informed this group is on college football. It’s just tough to listen to when you compare to other CFB podcasts
  • 123321123321467
    Kayce and Jack Don’t Know Anything
    Left when Kayce called Catholicism a cult. Gave them a second chance and man are Kayce and Jack uninformed about anything involving football. Specifically dismissing Michigan’s actions. If everyone’s doing it please present an iota of evidence, please. Otherwise you are fools fighting windmills.
  • TonyB507
    “Creda” bility
    It’s accountability Kayce. ❤️
  • Deven Jackson
    yikes
    the “heart and soul” of this podcast, brandon walker, spends most of his time calling people p***y. he’s not funny or interesting, but will waste no time in letting the audience know he’s right. what else would one expect from barstool
  • Curtisvalero
    Jack is horrible
    Get rid of him and I’ll start listening again. If you want to have a different opinion than everyone at least make a cogent argument. Saying ND lost the game shows it perfectly. Not even an Ohio state fan but that take is so bad and the explanation was even dumber. You’re not edgy, you are just terrible. Brandon is good.
  • heiwjdbsjsiebe
    No likable personalities
    Brandon — steam rolls and dominates the show, heavy SEC bias. Kayce — can tell she loves college football but doesn’t really know ball Jackmack — negative energy cloud. Saying anything positive sounds like it’s paining him. Katie — nice girl, not a podcast personality
  • chipwood
    Good podcast
    Been listening for three years now and love to listen to the podcast every time a new episode comes out listen to it during work or before I go to bed really insightful and gives a look into the sides of college football. I don’t see because I’m completely biased towards my own team. Keep up the good work and go cyclones.
  • jbbolton23
    You’re letting the emotional hillbilly drive the show?
    The girl has better takes than the Proud Boy spraying his feelings all over all his analysis. 2⭐️’s, one for simply talking about CFB, one for the girl .
  • gggjjjksjdhhs
    Exhausting
    All the semantics discussion is just so exhausting.
  • FatzMcGillicutty
    You retired “don’t know ball?”
    I retired from listening to sanctimony from sports pods.
  • LoserwithSocks
    Utah in the PNW
    I want to believe Utah is physically located in the Pacific Northwest. Only because the experts told me so.
  • Not a tween girl
    Get Brandon a real cohost
    Love Brandon, he clearly cares a lot. But Kayce reminds me of the kid in class who didn’t do the reading, so they just rephrase other peoples answers when they’re called on. I don’t think Kayce watches college football because she just parrots EVERYTHING Brandon says. It’s become unlistenable
  • Lead and conquer
    Leadership
    First off love the show. Only problem I have is how much emphasis is placed off of roster talent. I get it you want great athletes, but what makes football so good is the underdog always has a legitimate chance to win. If it weee all about roster TCU does not beat Michigan last year. Everyone assumes OSU would have beat TCU but they were beat by Michigan. Talent sure but team wise TCU was simply better. Nobody was stepping on the field with Georgia and staying within 20 points last year on that particular day. Great coaches identify great leaders that is why the best QBs we’re not on the field on that game. One was a walk-in the other didn’t even win the job to start the year. What they could do is motivate their teammates.

    More football
    The show is mid. They spend so much time talking about nothing. We are here to listen about sports.
