Does anybody know who his people are that are close to decision makers at LSU? I feel like he has absolutely missed on every LSU take since becoming famous. Y’all think it’s Scone or Jordy? lol

I like Pate. I really do. And I think he does know stuff.

But he acts high and mighty on a lot of LSU stuff where it's clear he has no clue and/or shaky takes at best.

Also, I don't care for the way he talks as though he knows whats best for teams mores o than their own fan base at times.

He said he feels Florida is leading for Kiffin on yesterday’s show. Wonder if he’s heard anything today that is genuinely credible.

Well that’s just wrong. He called this season out from the beginning and got bashed because it wasn’t what we wanted to hear.

He became famous jumping on the LSU train before anyone else in 2019.

This is my uneducated guess, but I think he gets information through coaches. Coaches know what's going on behind the scenes because the agent pool is so small.

Josh Pate is 100% bought and paid for. He used to have great takes and I’d hit on a lot of his pick. Then I started losing my arse. Now I literally take the opposite of his picks and started winning again.

I call him Hot Take Pate. His hype for the 2022 A&M signing class, Lincoln Riley to USC & Arkansas being better than their 5-7 Record ruined him for me. He likes to use sophisticated words to make himself sound more intelligent. Any grown man that posts his Softball Homers is dog water

He reads TD. I'm amazed at how many X posts that say "according to sources" and they are directly quoting posts here.

1000%. Just because people didn’t want to hear it doesn’t make him an idiot. He was right.
