Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Podcast of Champions in depth series

They are doing a school by school podcast on the infrastructure and support system of each of the Pac-12 schools. Pretty interesting listen so far. Unfortunately since they are 247 affiliated, they'll probably have Kim or Fatters on to represent UW.

    How much tim does each one run, tim is of the essence with my schedule? I don’t know if I’ll have the tim to listen, But if it’s 30 or less I might dedicate the tim to go in depth on each school.

    I listened to the Utah/CU podcast. Looks like about 45 minutes per school. You pick up some interesting things. For example, I never knew there was a travel restriction placed on schools when they host recruits. It's something like a 20 mile restriction, so it limits some of the things a school can show regarding the uniqueness of the area surrounding a school. Utah always takes kids snowmobiling. Pretty cool experience for kids who have never seen snow before and showcases that you're minutes away from wilderness. Florida and Texas kids love the mountains, have no clue what they're missing until they're convinced to visit.

    CU- it's pretty much 45 minutes of how fucked they are, how fucked they've been and how fucked they are in the future.

    I'm going to find the time to listen Oregon/OSU and whatever comes out after that. I'm sure some will be better than others. One bitch I have regarding the Utah segment was that Dan Sorensen, formal Rivals turned Scout turned 247 wasn't sure if Utah was the only team to not win the south. He wasn't sure if one of the Zonas hadn't won the south yet. Motherfucker has been a so called Utah football TBSer, bored moderator for 10 something years. One of the many reasons I can't stand a lot of my fellow Utes. This pin head motherfucker could tell you every little nuance regarding BYU but doesn't know jack shit about the Pac-12.

    I'd like to the the TSIO boys step up and do this kind of thing, but for now, podcast of champions is the only one choosing to fill this void.

    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"
    https://www.solidverbal.com/
    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.

    As usual, Fatters comes across as a blowhard who loves to hear himself talk. He was by far the worse guest they brought on and that's saying a lot.

    I’m not going to listen, but Fetters biggest problem is he always tries to be the smartest guy in the room. That and he’s a pussy who never actually has an opinion.

    Compare the dawgman takes to the ones here. Even the ones you disagree with here are better than the dawgman ones.

    It’s amazing to me that there are actual fans who can’t talk honestly about their team and just want pollyanna takes and comments.

    agreed. he always is quick to respond to other peoples' opinions by telling them they're wrong but he never goes out with actual opinions and interpretations of information that you would expect from someone who has the title "editor". He's just a peanut gallery commenter.

    This was actually done in Year 1 of the pod ... it was then realized that by and large nobody gave a shit about 8 of the other 11 schools in the conference.

    http://pac12podcast.com/pac-12-spring-football-updates

    This pod from last week is pretty good if you're desperate for some Pac-12 football talk. It's just under two hours. A few things that stood out was Stanford only has some walk on dude QB for spring. How can you hold a spring practice with a QB that will never see the field? Stanford's spring is a total waste.

    Chip Kelly's install is going very slowly. UCLA's offense is going to look like Philadelphia's offense during Chips first two years there. I have no clue what that means, I don't know shit about Philly's offense during Kelly's first two years. Pod guys said it will not be like his offense at Oregon. Not nearly as fast paced but kind of fast paced.

    USC is fucked at QB. Jack Sears did not complete a single pass during the scrimmage USC pod guy observed. Something like 0 for 6. Fink wasn't much better. Fink's arm strength was only about 2/3rds Browning. High School Senior JT Daniels will probably earn the start when he arrives or a few games into the season, too young to be any good next year. USC guy thinks USC will be heavy on the run.

    Arizona spring ball is closed with the exception of a 20 minute observation. Nothing really coming out of AZ.

    ASU is going to run a 3 3 5 defense. Someone on staff has some fucking connection with Rocky Long so they're all over this 3 3 5 business. Good luck. Oh ... and Herm is running practices like a pro team, "very loose". Teens and young adults thrive in these "loose" environments. Just axe the US military.
