He called USL "Louisiana," so you know his opinions are garbage.

His wife also worked for Bama football operations.

Y’all know his wife literally has a degree from LSU and also worked for LSU football right?

Every college football media personality is going to have bad takes, not sure why people care so much about his. But to answer your question, he basically admitted that he was totally wrong and owned up to it. You’ll probably love him and say he knows what he’s talking about in a couple of weeks when he predicts that LSU will win the SEC.


He gets extra scrutiny because of his power ranking that he pimps endlessly over polls and because he not only embraces fringe takes at times on season predictions, the playoffs, the sport in general, he then responds to many of those who disagree as casuals, even if they have well-reasoned takes. He brings it on himself.

Pate used to feel more different than the typical college football media crowd, in a good way. But the longer his show goes, the more and more it lines up with everything else out there. More sensationalism and self-promotion over good content. There’s some level of forced alignment with his current home (now On3) no matter how much he wants to claim his independence. It’s watered down the product a bit, in my opinion.

He still has great access and news, but I much prefer the podcast version because it’s really easy to just skip past the bullshite.

If you really judge sports media types by what they get right or wrong then you’ll never be satisfied and are just waiting to hate. They’re never right, they know they’re never right, and they never expect to always be right. They guess. It’s the nature of the business and few do it better than Josh Pate. So he didn’t dick ride LSU. Who cares?

And I watched his show. He’s fine. And was impressed. Did you expect him to sulk?

I like Pate, just the way he presents himself and thinks about things but he needs to be brought into the LSU fold.

LSBoosie, you are in charge of this. I’m not saying him being a Homer or anything, he just needs to be keeping the Tigers in his mind frame for being a top program.
So get it done.
Thanks.

The hit that knocked Daniels out at Bama was targeting.

His bias REALLY showed in that moment.

He can EAD.

Y’all get way too caught up in some of these predictions. Especially preseason predictions.

I usually agree. But this year has been particularly trying. I don't recall a preseason with more consensus bad takes.

Use Bama as a consensus playoff team (and to win the NC for several) as a good place to start.
