  • Falling down hill fast

    This used to be a top notch college football podcast but in the last couple years the duo has really gone down hill. Their sec bias has become untenable and you can just hear the superiors at the athletic who they both work for coming through. Analysis and rhetoric have overtaken everything they used to do and it’s just become unlistenable at this point.

  • The only CFB program for me

    While some pregame shows have gone the way of pro wrestling, this podcast contains good analysis and commentary. Does it need its own Lee Corso? Not so fast, my friend!!!

  • Through every era

    I found PAPN as a sophomore in high school. 10 years later, I have a journalism degree and enter my second year working in sports media. This podcast I grew up with helped nudge me toward the career I now pursue. Every iteration continues to put out excellent content. Go Cougs.

Q: You just heard the Eli Bowen 87-yard interception return. What do you think about that play about the game?

Q: Richard, it was your first day as a sideline reporter. How was it?
It was a lot of fun; it's funny how fast it just goes. You come into this game with so many stories prepped, but many don't make it in because of how the game flows.
