Pair and a Spare podcast: Fan vs Observer


Justin G. went off today on their podcast today. A True fan vs an "Observer". I'm in total agreement with him. I'm all for more fans getting excited about Gopher football, but I have no time for the Observer's.

I haven't listened to the podcast yet (I will this evening).

I have been thinking about the whole concept of sports fans as opposed to sports analysts/sports critics. Some of us like to simply root for the team, and not try too hard to analyze, critique and/or second guess. The folks who enjoy analyzing, criticizing and second guessing are entitled to follow their own bliss, but sometimes it can be nice to just be a homer and cheer for your team.
 

I have no problem with those Observers who just want to be a homer and cheer for you team. But those who then jump on to social media and complain about; NIL, transfer portal, recruiting, play calling, coaches moves, player personal, etc... Those are the "Obervers" who I take issue with.
 


JG isn’t a great mind on almost anything. He has the wingman schtick down with DB on the FAN but he’s not great on Gophers stuff. Burns is the go to for that I’d like to see him have a larger role in Gophers football coverage all around.

I thoroughly enjoy JG. He has good relationships with the coaches and represents the U well

Agree 100%.

I'd like to see more Gaard-led Gopher football content on KFAN. I'd love it if he and Mike Grimm had a mini-show dedicated to covering Gopher sports. I know they do the show with Fleck, which I enjoy, but let's have some more, please.
