  • NoMoreMarler
    Love the Pod/Fix the Breathing
    I really enjoy Connor’s takes, stats, interviews, etc. I’d much rather have Will as the cohost than Marler, so thank you for that. But, the last few shows all I can hear is Will’s breathing while Connor is trying to talk. I couldn’t finish the show because of it.
  • Sasquatch Jones
    Texas fanboys
    Less of a sec show more of a a Texas glazing podcast
  • Jimbo092290
    1/2 Good
    Connor is really solid. Hard to imagine a worse podcast host than Will, though. I think he only watches LSU games because that’s the only team he can talk about.
  • jarronpaul
    Will kills this podcast
    I used to listen to this podcast regularly. I’ve been trying to get back in to it because Conner does a great job of breaking down games but I just can’t listen to Will anymore. Not only does he CONSTANTLY talk over Conner but he will take for 2 solid minutes and say nothing of value… he will constantly say “at the end of the day.. anyways… what I mean… but the point is… anyway… “ I’m cool with dudes that have podcasts that love their schools but his LSU bias is too much… SDS, save this podcast and let Conner go solo or get a new co-host
  • GaGator86
    Different co-host
    Conor I been listening for years but I’m sorry your co-host is not good. He sounds like he talks to fast and start laughing it’s crazy. But he’s not good sorry to say it. POD is good.
  • Tigerhhhhhhhhhhh
    Downhill
    This show used to be a must listen to! Connor seems like a good guy and is a very professional media representative. The co-host Will on the other hand comes across and someone who wants to get his personal biases out on this platform. I hate that SDS got rid of 4th and wrong
  • MMPELE
    Good show but needs a new cohost
    I really like this podcast. I listen almost every Sunday/Monday during football season but it really needs a new cohost. Will speaks over Connor non-stop and doesn’t allow time for actual game analysis due his over the top impassioned diatribes. For Connor’s sake, get someone else in there or let Connor go at it alone.
  • Clogan1
    It’d be better Solo
    Connor can be long winded, but he puts in the time and knows what he’s talking about for the most part. I’m not sure if Will watches the games, or has it playing on TV while he’s looking at his phone. Between his ear shattering laughs at his own jokes, I normally just catch myself asking, what is he talking about?
  • Fairview Vol
    Good, but Could Be Better
    Connor is great. Will makes it worse. Replace Will and it would get better!
  • CharlieBravo1
    Just alright
    This show is usually just fine. Content is decent, though I skip the lengthy interviews. However, the show would be MUCH better without Will. He doesn’t really add any substance and his voice and laugh is just so annoying. Not to mention the simping and excuse making for LSU.
  • Wertmel
    Great host, but co-host homer not so much
    One of the better college football shows. The main host does a great job objectively providing SEC centric news. His co-host though is a ridiculous LSU homer who can’t get out of his own way. Would be a lot better if he could check his fanboy card at the studio door, but he can’t seem to do it.
  • just0425
    Solid Show!
    Connor is great. If you want a fun game, take a shot every time his co-host Woody the Woodpecker goes out of his way to make the topic about LSU
  • flbadgers
    Will
    Does the guy think the reviews about his laughs are merely suggestions? Just awful.
  • dawgmatic
    Garbage
    Pure garbage.
  • D Gregorio
    Connor great, Will is not
    Connor does a great job with show prep and makes some great points but the co-host Will acts and talks like some random fan you would run into at a game and would immediately be annoyed by. The podcast seems to replace Connor’s co hosts fairly regularly, so I’ll take a break until they move on from Will since he makes the podcast not worth your time.
  • comeonump
    Hard to Listen!
    Connor provides good takes and would be a much better podcast if he did it solo! Will provides nothing and the laugh is intolerable.
  • MatteoJF
    Volume issue
    I can handle the laugh because I like the content from Connor but the low to high volume from Will just shreds my ears. Actually causes physical pain when I’m wearing air pods. Please clean that up because I wanna listen for the content. Thanks

    I'm here for my .99cents. Was promised a 1$ to write a 5🌟review. My Cash app username is @easyMoneyMarler.
  • 404Macon
    Gram Mertz??
    Bottom line up front: Watch the game and how the QB really played. I don’t get it the QB actually played well given their issues up front!!! Guys Gram was running for his life. Running backs had no holes. Mertz’s one interception hit the receiver right in the chest. Had he not played well they would not have scored 11. He threw fir 333 yards. I do t have a dog I. The fight but blaming everything on the QB is crazy. The guy did all he could given the situation just ask the South Carolina QB about no offensive line. Oh yeah Mertz was sacked 6 times with about eight rushes throws due to pressure. QB can’t solve all issues. Keep up the good work though enjoy the show.
  • Phanner817
    Media day interviews audio
    All the audio on the sec media day interviews is unlistenable.

    Will: I agree with your remarks on Threads. Nice job. You are one of the few commentators able to see the truth about this. Jon
  • hoops4Lifebball
    Mind numbing
    If there was reason to avoid a low brow, low IQ podcast do yourself a favor and skip. This guy Will is a mouth breathing buffoon.
  • A e s op rocK

    Been a 5 star blue chip pod since Will came on
  • Braves Stoolie
    Terrible
    Worst “Southern” podcast I’ve ever heard. Dude is just another Ohio State D rider. Avoid.
  • himdon hooker
    Heisman
    I do enjoy this podcast and your takes the the game we love. But I was very disappointed that the first year you have a heisman vote you do exactly the reason people don’t care about this reward anymore.
  • Dubc718
    Solid podcast
    Connor & Will offer great insights & have a very in-depth knowledge of the SEC. I learn something almost every time I listen. I give it three stars because far too often Connor gets caught up in people on Twitter or will go on a rant about Gary Danielson, Joel Klatt, David Pollack, etc. All the animosity is just off-putting. It's ok to dislike a CFB personality or someone's take without mentioning it in every single podcast. If he didn't get so upset over things that don't matter & constantly throw dirt on people I'd like this a lot more.
  • JVDinSF
    Ehhh….
    If you wanna hear a Cajun homer not even attempt to hide his biases, tune in! 🤢🤮
  • Reginald fairfield
    Ugh that Co Host though
    Connor is great, but Will is unlikable. Its a shame because Marler and Connor were great together but Will kills the show. He offers very little substance and what he does is negated by the worlds most distracting laugh. It’s a shame cause I love(d) this show.
  • VA Trav
    The giggling
    Barely made it through the first and second segment due to Will laughing after every sentence he comes in with. Glad Conner told him he was “on another level” because he could tell it was too much. Definitely miss Chris on the show.
  • 19815m
    The laugh is too much
    Stopped listening because of the laugh. I tried.
  • KYRebel357
    They do a good job
    Until they start talking about Tennessee, then they need a pair of knee pads and some mouthwash.
  • GoGators411
    These guys are the best
    Since going to Florida for college I’ve been a huge Gator and SEC fan. This podcast and the Gatorcountry podcast are my go-to. These guys are fun, knowledgeable, and passionate. Great commentary and perspective. This is can’t miss for SEC fans.
  • GoDawgsYahhh
    Just not a good podcast anymore…what happened to Marler???
    Man, I wouldn’t call myself a Chris Marler “FAN”, but Jesus did he do so much for the listenability of the SDS Podcast when he was on it. I think he made Connor loosen-up a bit. I came back to listen again recently (usually get back into CFB podcasts in August), and holy cow is this podcast boooorrrriiiiinnnnnnggggg. Even if the content is factually-correct, the delivery and tone of the entire show is just so…slow? I feel like Connor is trying to impress people with the way he talks about CFB. Dude, just talk. Stop trying to sound hyper-professional *ALL THE TIME*, because it makes you come across as an 80-year-old in a 30-year-old body. It’s very strange, and not at all enjoyable by the average CFB fan, I promise. I don’t really know what else to say. A good show can be ruined by a bad host, and that’s what’s happening here unfortunately.
  • gridironjay
    Good Info, but with some negatives.
    They are verbose, and I cannot get past the laugh.
  • FL-Eagle
    Great content, greater references
    I love all things college football, and while the topic of conversation usually gets away from that by the end, I appreciate the depth of the conversation. They also make great references, especially including The Office, but the one that earned my 5* review was the segment on Arkansas being America’s team and the reference to Sam Pittman being as Hufflepuff as they come. As a Gator fan and self proclaimed Hufflepuff who can’t help but root for the Razorbacks, I appreciated it and look forward to more eye opening revelations!
  • PersonalFinanceNYC
    Excellent content, but super long episodes
    Connor produces some awesome content regarding SEC football, but shows are entirely too long and have unnecessary fluff for the later half of each podcast. Would be 5 stars if more targeted podcast. Otherwise, really enjoy the first 30 mins of content.
  • GaMntHunter
    Carpetbaggers
    If you want to hear a couple of Yankees try to ruin sec then this is for you.
  • Mongolas
    I want to love it
    I love Connor’s takes and his insight. However, Will’s weird giggling just makes these podcasts unlistenable to me. I’m just not up to it at 5:30 in the morning on the way to work.
  • Brownie9735
    Awesome stuff!
    This is awesome stuff guys!!!
  • Aikiwaza
    Ugh
    I wish Will could say 3 words without chuckling like an idiot.
  • bstrickland80
    I used to love this Pod…
    I listened to it religiously prior to the split. It wasn’t perfect because Marler was too loud, but at least Marler and Connor balanced each other out with their view points. Connor and Will are a disaster. Between Connor’s long rants and Will’s awkward laughs and bad takes, it’s just not worth the listen, and that’s too bad. I’m out boys, I hope SDS gets it right next time.
  • Tim Chamberlin
    Mostly Average
    Decent show for SEC fans. The one guy giggles at everything he says which is pretty annoying
  • Kevin willie 123
    Nothing close to what it used to be
    This show is a shell of what it used to be when Chris Marler was the co-host. Connor spends most of the show gushing over Malik Willis and power 5 schools and the new co-host just laughs and giggles the whole episode and brings nothing to the table. Incredibly boring with little to no insight into the sec games. Also incredibly dull and lacks any sort of humor.
  • Brian LaFevre
    Fellas, I Gotta have more Marler
    I saw another review from some chode with the username “NoMoreMarler” (NMM). I haven’t listened to the episode so I don’t know what was said about. But I’m willing to blindly disagree with a guy who takes time/effort creating a username just to bash the (former) co-host of a free podcast on here. …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …. Whatever it was cut him deep, though. Twisted him apart like soft bread. Probably because he knew it was true. This level of acute sensitivity & fragility towards a pro-Bama rhetoric could only come from a few fanbases… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …. LSU? No, preoccupied w coach search & arguing why LSU is a better job than USC . •Auburn? No, lose to the 5th best team in the Big 10, you’re not competing in the SEC •UK? No, this kind of vitriol doesn’t come out til basketball season + the too literate …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …. Georgia? Fanbase that identifies as a championship program even tho their last title was closer to WW2 than to 2021. They know this is best team they’ve had in years, best chance for a title, know Kirby has to beat Saban to make it happen. And so far, daddy’s neva lost. Georgia’s D is elite but defense doeent championships. Offense wins championships, but not with Stetson Bennett at QB? Will Daniels be healthy? I dunno… hasn’t been in a while. I’d be nervous. …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …. Anyway… 5-stars, highly recommend this pod & CFB Uncensored. Just wanted to do my part to cancel out numbnuts’s rating. . Keep doing your thing Marler. …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …. Go Gamecocks! (And apologies to any Georgia fans who read this. Double apology if this dude isn’t actually a Georgia fan. Still, it’s all true)

    Bring back the original duo
    Chris and Connor are a much much better listen, together. Bring it back. Reunion pod every week.
  • #1TigerFan95
    Reunion Pod
    Absolutely loved the Reunion Pod ! Was so good to have Marler back. Will is awful and I can not listen to episodes he is on anymore. Please find ways to get Marler back on or just have Connor do it by himself. MIZ

    Reunion Show
    The reunion show made me remember why I subscribed to this show years ago. Wish we could get this back full time.
  • Suckhead connoisseur
    Decent.
    Not a bad podcast but it would be better without the obnoxious dude with that ridiculous laugh who really doesn’t add much to it.
  • CJ70612
    Ehh
    Was the best before the split. Really like the interviews. Unlike a lot of people in these ratings I really like Connor and think he’s super organized and has good stats even if it doesn’t sound as casual as some people like. Will doesn’t seem to add much and his laugh is annoying.
