    Tried the Oregon pod before reading your assessment. Wish I would have seen it first. Didnt make it to Oregon State.

    I listened to the in-depth look at Oregon and Oregon State. Oregon portion was a waste of time. I did learn that the dude they talked with is part of another podcast "The Solid Verbal"

    I've never heard of it but I'm on a quest to find good Pac-12 content. I didn't like the Oregon dude (Dan Rubenstein) so I question my sanity wanting to try his podcast, but what the fuck, maybe the other guy is good? Anyway, if you listen to this you can jump ahead the first 9 minutes to chip away at the 1:51 run time. If your time is of any value at all, skip the Oregon part altogether.

    The OSU part is listenable. The chick doing the talking (Angie Machado?) does a good job. Lots of facts, numbers and stuff. Some interesting talk about Gary Andersen. Apparently there are tons of rumors floating around Corvallis ranging from alcohol to infidelity. I kind of thought Gary was hitting the booze only because he had that classic, big red I'm-an-alcoholic nose. His hand picked staff was not communicating and often fighting. Gary was in too deep to flip it so he bailed. (That's Angie's quick assessment, sounds reasonable) That's it for the salacious details, other than that, OSU is fucked, always has been and always will be, but not a bad listen.

    Podcast of Champions isn't exactly blowing me away, I keep waiting for it to get good, but there just isn't anything else out there that I'm aware of.

    Ironically, Rubenstein has been the biggest name to join for this series. All the other guests have been a contributor for the affiliate 247 site.

    I agree, the podcast is far from good but unfortunately there's very little Pac 12 content out there, especially this time of year. Jon Wilner has a Pac12 podcast but the frequency is sporadic in the offseason.

    Poadcast of Champions is better during the season. The 247 goof they had on to preview Cal expects them to win at least 8 and probably 10 games in 2018.

    Dan Rubenstein sucks and the Solid Verbal is a shit podcast. The Oregon and Cal segments were bad. The others were better.
