I had a stupid interview which meant that this is the first show I haven't watched live in months, maybe even years. Oh well, Josh, you're awesome and have had a long time fan in me. Keep up the great work! Gig-em!

I feel like TA&M at LSU is going to be like Oregon at Penn St, close win by the road team that just kills their opponent and causes their season to spiral with a coach firing.

It is extremely toxic in Madison with Fickell rn and if he is back next year, fan apathy will be at an all time high. You cannot go 2-10 and get blown out every week in year three and expect to be back the next year. It’s looking more and more like that those coordinators he had at Cincinnati was the real reason for his success there
