Hey guys. You know I’m I fan and think the pod is outstanding, but I do have some constructive criticism. Opening your latest pod with a list of NU transfers and being excited that they “will play for LSU!” or “be a nickel-back in the semi final!” is a little tone-deaf.
It seems like you guys are taking the “well, they graduated from NU, so let’s root for their new teams” approach. I think the fanbase isn’t there. I know I’m not, especially with ND and their former head coach. I actually couldn’t care less where Rod Heard or Josh Thompson are playing unless it’s at Northwestern or for an NFL team (if they announce their allegiance to us during starting lineups).
During a time where we’ve had a good deal of news (positive and negative), you made a footnote the lead story. If we’re just talking about like 6 dudes, why focus the lead on them and not the awesome players that are returning and/or coming too us next year?
Sometimes it seems the 3 of you get a bit “groupthinky”—totally fine and natural—but there might be room for another voice from time to time to keep you in check.
Overall, pod was great though as usual. Go ‘Cats!
