I appreciate there being a national(?) sports media talking head who preaches patience and understands that program building takes time.

[dillonlail]

I enjoyed the subtle use of the old "Throw it in reverse, Larry." Instead of the iconic, "Throw it in reverse, Terry." 😂

[johnmulichak]

Very interested for the Ryan Day interview. Also, really hope Josh makes it to South Bend to interview Marcus Freeman. He is building something special at ND and I'd love the rest of the CFB community to get a view of it thru Josh's great interview style.

A LOT of us appreciate you taking that much time to tell your story about it. You nailed it! See you Tuesday!

[protocol]

You gonna catch hell for that USC take JP.

[jakefromstatefarm]

There’s a portion of every fan base that thinks JP is against them. He’s just honest with his opinion, and I’ve learned he’s as right as you can be when speaking of things that haven’t happened yet.

"Why stay in Nashville when you can get out on the road?" Love it!🚗

40:00 "This USC defensive revolution is missing players" This is such a laughably bad take that I will disprove by listing the 2023 season PFF grades of every single starter on the USC defense. For reference, a PFF grade of 60 is considered average.

DL Bear Alexander: 64.2 overall grade; 64.9 run defense grade; 71.3 pressure grade
DL Nate Clifton: 67.4 overall grade; 72.9 run defense grade; 61.5 pressure grade
DE Braylan Shelby: 71.3 overall grade; 73.5 run defense grade; 72.8 pressure grade
DE Jamil Muhammad: 65.4 overall grade; 66.1 run defense grade; 72.8 pressure grade
LB Eric Gentry: 71.0 overall grade; 72.8 run defense grade
LB Easton Mascarenas-Arnold: 66.4 overall grade; 78.5 run defense grade
CB Jacobe Covington: 81.0 overall grade; 83.2 coverage grade; 70.7 run defense grade
CB John Humphrey: 79.0 overall grade; 77.8 coverage grade; 79.1 run defense grade
NB Greedy Vance Jr: 80.3 coverage grade; 77.0 run defense grade
S Akili Arnold: 80.3 overall grade; 85.7 coverage grade; 65.0 run defense grade
S Kamari Ramsey: 80.2 overall grade; 77.7 coverage grade; 83.8 run defense grade

As you can see, there is not a single starter on USC's CURRENT defense that has a below average grade not only overall, but also in the relevant subcategories. We also have an entire spring portal window to add more players. Do your homework Josh.

USC didnt lack talent the last few years. According to Rivals usc had 3 top 100 defensive kids in 21. A top 25 end, a top 50 lb and a corner. In 22 the had two top 25 secondary players. 23 they had two top 50 linebackers.

We need a full lore documentary on pate state and it’s rich history

[SteveKilgore]

I have a new favorite team: Oklahoma, simply for the classy move of honoring Toby Keith with a turf decal yesterday.

[Pinnedon]

Am a big fan Josh..Wish that I could attend your live show in Columbus OH. Would you ever consider allowing a live audience to spectate?

[davidmesser]

Mizzou fan here. I am here to tell you that there have been times when you and I disagreed. Still, I didn't let that bother me. I believe that you are the best in the business at what you do. ✨️ Whoo, look at that glitter! Keep up the good work! Vaughn

[Alana-to]

Huge fan of yours from Cottage Grove, Oregon.

[averagedonnie]

Yeah you definitely didn’t watch USC spring game. Multiple starters missing and the secondary looked good. It’s also a scrimmage

[connorgeoghagan]

As an FSU fan, I will admit that when the flip flopping comments happened I was super upset. Mainly because I loved this show so much, and felt like Josh’s takes were awesome. But then the constant jumping back and forth was a turn off for sure. But everyone is allowed to change their opinions. Still a good show, just didn’t appreciate that. Go Noles

[johnmcdaniel]

Ol’ Josh doing what he does best: riding both sides of every fence and being noncommittal about EVERYTHING. Fear of commitment? Except when he was hardcore about Texas Tech is going to shock the football world in 2023! Keep being you, Josh. I disagree with you 75% of the time, but you entertain me.

USC's defence was so bad that even with Caleb they barely sqeezed by a bad CAL team 50-49. it was a miracle they won 8 games last year with the defence. Caleb had to lead them to a minimum of 35 points a game or it was a loss!!!
