  • Good, but eye eye

    Good, been listening for years but I skip the episodes where the one knowledgeable and good guy keeps saying "eye eye" as sentence pauses. Maybe it only drives me crazy.... can't not hear it

  • Very disrespectful of listeners

    They meander, sound high half the time and do little preparation. Horka talks about himself like anyone cares about him. Listen to locked on to get a sense of the alternative. Hopefully with new owners they’ll get someone professional.

  • Best in the biz

    Been listening to B&G and other competing pods for ~5 years. I most look forward to BGI b/c of it’s balanced coverage with recruiting, coach, player and analyst takes, unpretentious guys in Mike S, Gools, Tim, Tyler, Kyle and Jack. Beat writers are prodigious, good personalities and rapport. Like ☘️ fb, future’s looking bright.
