Maybe, I ignore them.  I did tune into Game Day this past Saturday, I wanted to see where they were set up.  After about ten minutes of partially listening, I had to leave.

Granted it was "Week Zero", but they really had zero to say worth hearing.

Pollack is like a trained parrot, who can only root for the SEC, and Georgia. He offers nothing in the area of football analysis, or wisdom to pass along. SEC/ESPN celebrates David Pollack’s ignorance, while they destroy the sport we love, for money.

Eh. I think it's more that Herbie was getting old, so ESPN needed a younger model to make the ladies swoon.

Friday, I'm looking forward to UNC-VT.  I'll have to rush home because it starts at 3:00 for some reason.
Saturday, I'll start with PSU-Wisconsin.....then Bama-Miami.  Then I'll watch Florida play and UGA-Clemson during commercials.  None of the late games interest me.
And I really hope EVERYONE tunes in on Sunday to watch ND pants FSU.

I like the big lineman guy with the big nose.  Idk his name or where he played or anything, but he usually talks about actual football.

I'm torn. All I really care about is Purdue beating Notre Dame in week 3...

But do I want them to beat an 0-2 Notre Dame that everyone laughs at? Or do I want them to beat a 2-0 Notre Dame that is top ten and [as usual] overrated?

Gameday COULD have some actual "experts", like some folks around here, and their ratings would quickly go into the dumpster.  The show is about ratings, and splash and flash, it's not for "serious" fans.  I'm not saying the hosts are completely clueless, but the focus is on optics and imagery.

I don't think the old "Coach" is going to make it through the season.

I enjoy rooting for an 0-12 Notre Dame each and every year, so I'm not torn at all.  I get why Florida fans pull against FSU, but most of the rest of the country dislikes ND a lot more than FSU.  Personally I have no feelings whatsoever about FSU, wouldn't bother actively rooting against them unless they were playing my own team.

Yikes, talk about leaving the cupboard bare.  Didn't their returning starter transfer to Northwestern, only to not beat out Hunter Johnson?

Ouch, that is tough.  They already were a shambles anyway rivaling Tenn.

The only team I root to go 0-12 is Eastern Michigan of course.

I like the Domers to be 8-4 and lose in a minor bowl game.
