What's the best rivalry in college football?⬇
I followed Boston college for almost all my life except for about the past 10 years and then this year I saw that they won on opening day against Florida State and I was kind of shocked because back when I was watching them, Florida State was really good. Then I found out that Boston college was really good this year and I had no idea that Bill O'Brien was their coach till now. That's why they're so good
Pats need to get offensive tackles in the draft next year. Wide Receiver too! We need a great o-line or Maye is gonna get beat up and might lose his confidence. I want to know why the Patriots haven't had any good receivers for the past 5 years? Not only that, but they haven't even tried to get some. Yes, we draft some players but they're not going to be any good if the quarterback can't throw them the ball. Over the past 5 years it's been a ton of free agent wide receivers and the Patriots just don't bring them in. Our best receiver was Jacoby Myers and he went to Vegas. I like Kendrick Bourne And demario Douglas but they're still learning and won't always be open. We need that reliable receiver That can move the chains. We need a Julian Edelman or Wes welker!

This is my favorite podcast hands down
Also, anyone want proof of how good a guy Bill O'Brian is watch Hard Knocks when he was the Texans head coach. Such a great guy, great values and a family man. BC is fortunate to have him there.
Hey Julian Bama had some great success under Gene Stallings. Even a national championship
Just keep him out of the NFL as a HC and we're good. Good ol' tea kettle 😂🤣😂🤣
A friggin great show today. Fun and informative 👍👍
I like this podcast but the.camera angles are so lame focusing on there shoes. And then gronk one when he was wearing socks. It's like there catering to the foot fetish people which makes me not want to watch this any more.
We want ocho
Great episode as a fellow niners fan would love to see Jerry rice and or frank gore
Didn’t pan out in Houston but I love coach O. Real old school football man.
Bro, no bullshit, I jump around to other casts. Guy’s, you guys are almost unmatched, dude. the guest have amazing stories. The questions are handled correctly with enthusiasm and laughter. Popeyes is doing a great job over there. Congratulations.😊
Would love 2008 Utah vs TCU with Brian Johnson. Such a huge game, first blackout, big step towards the Sugar Bowl win over Alabama!
He needs to just show up and start questioning Brady and Belichick so they can’t run
Very excited Eldernuts has a Podcast ❤😂😊
