I think he’s become click bait since deal with On3 and ESPN. I used to love listening to him. He has become buddies with coaches and staffs and leans his picks toward those guys (Florida and Billy)(Bama and his Wife’s crew there). Still has honest takes, but you can see the bias and need for clicks.

Yeah, I used to listen to him religiously during the season, but his shtick is just tiresome.

Good for him on the new deals though. Someone must be listening.

With this roster, 8-4 would be a cataclysmic failure. FTR, I don't think LSU goes 8-4 barring a barrage of key injuries.

Maybe he just has different thoughts and opinions than you and I. Y’all gotta quit thinking people are out to get LSU just because they don’t have LSU going 10-2.

Pate has always been a clickbait/schtick guy, you just didn’t mind it because it was favorable to LSU.

Why is everyone crying about 8-4? That sounds close to what most realistically expect, which is 9-3

He’s going to take a bath on UF this year, but it won’t be the first time. He loves to hang on fringe takes and then ride them if he’s right. But when he’s wrong, no one calls him on it and he just calls anyone who tries a casual.

He was all-in on Sam Pittman and his “culture fit” at Arkansas during his first two seasons there. We see how that turned out once that staff moved on. All that talk disappeared as soon as his talking point evaporated on him. So this is just par for the course.

He still has a lot of good info, guests and content on his show, but his takes and his stupid power ranking that he pumps non-stop get old. That’s why it’s better to listen to the podcast than watch on YouTube. Those segments are an easy skip.

I think we’ll do better. But 8-4 wouldn’t shock me.

That doesn’t seem like click bait to me

I think if you ask 10 people, I think you’d get 10 different answers.

Kelly could go 0-12 and not get fired. 50 mil buyout is a preposterous number.

frick Josh Pate. He comes off as a smug, arrogant prick. He’s not some industry insider.

He outed himself as a complete dick riding hack during the FSU playoff bullshite.

Also, this fool doesn’t have Nussmeier in his top 5 quarterback list going into this season. Not even top 3 in the SEC.

Nussmeier is only the leading passer returning in the fricking nation this season.
