A lot of folks here on the B1G board seem to dislike Klatt, whereas I find him to be among the better college football talking heads/analysts.

At the very least he forms his own opinions and is willing not only to buck the trends, but call others out when they're engaging in lemming/sheeple behaviors.

He's still one of the only guys to ever call out the SEC for its schedule and poll manipulation with their 8-game conference schedule and FCS cupcake weekend.

I like Klatt. It's his partner that makes my skin crawl.

How do you rank the months?

Factor in weather, holidays, sports in season, along with any other criteria that you deem relevant.

I'll go tiers. But only consecutive months (so spring/fall can't be together despite similar weather):

  • March->May - great weather, coming out of the cold months so it's nice and warm
  • Nov/Dec - holidays, football
  • Sept/Oct - great weather, you're finally out of the summer heat
  • Jan/Feb - I like the weather, but it's often dealing more with rain than the rest of the season here, and I hate the short days especially with Standard Time so it's dark at 5 PM
  • Jun->Aug - too hot for me


Obv SoCal weather plays into it. No real winter.

I’m not a fan of the tone of his voice, and I don’t feel like he makes a ton of super salient points. But I have to admit I am more annoyed at his sort of sports radio blowhard stuff outside of games.

that said, I’m pretty lukewarm on most commentators unless they provide some interesting schematic stuff or are just fun.

Barney Jr. was a versatile performer for Coach Mike Manasco at Miami Palmetto High School. A two-way player for the Panthers, he saw time on offense at quarterback, running back and wide receiver.

Barney was rated as a four-star recruit by Rivals, which ranked him among the top 60 wide receivers in the country. He was also ranked among the nation’s top 25 athletes by 247Sports.

Manipulation?

Fer fuck sake.  If there's not a rule saying you have to play 9, then what are you bitching about?
