A college football podcaster is going viral for a brutal roast of a wannabe insider over a string of freezing cold takes about the future of the PAC-12. He posted a video on YouTube showing the receipts from the “insider’s” Twitter account which have aged very, very poorly over the last week.
The social media drama has provided followers with peak comedy as we grind through talkin’ season.
College football has given us with a few headlines this offseason, some of which include locker room scandals, head coaching changes, and media day wars.
Hazing accusations at Northwestern and reports of a “toxic culture” at Minnesota have made headlines of late, one of which led to the firing of Wildcat coach Pat Fitzgerald. All of this occurring in the midst of Big Ten media days.
Down south at SEC media days, Lane Kiffin was seen waging a war of words with radio personality Paul Finebaum. But his “Angry Little Man” comments are nothing compared to the vicious trolling of YouTuber Greg Flugaur.
Flugaur, who hosts a college football podcast, was bizarrely called out by a man named Tony Altimore for the odd reason of discussing aliens on his sports show (?).
Taking offense to the jab, he fired back at Altimore, who appears to believe he’s a PAC-12 insider based on his Twitter activity.
Over the last few months of the offseason, with realignment talks picking up steam, Altimore has consistently claimed that the league remained strong despite rumors that it was in danger of losing members.
This, of course, all stemming from USC and UCLA’s departure for the SEC.
One example of the dozens of PAC-12 related tweets is below for reference.
Once again:
Nobody is going from the Pac to the Big 12, and they never wereEvery single school is on record, and the below should be utterly humiliating for CBS & Endeavor, where #Big12Karen keeps lying to the public
Kudos to Utah and Pac leaders for repeating it:

His obsession with throwing jabs at Big XII media is concerning.
Haha… could have fooled most other fans, then… lol
I haven’t found a single Big 12 media source in months who devotes less than 75% of their time to talking about fake Pac-12 rumors…
…even during their own media days!

He also seems to have a strong distaste for Flugaur, possibly due to his being one of the first to report USC’s decision to join the Big Ten last summer.
Altimore’s hopes of a stable “Conference of Champions” fell apart on Wednesday when reports surfaced about Colorado’s pending return to the Big XII. That move has since been confirmed by the school as the Buffaloes intend to leave the PAC-12 after this season.
Those cold takes are now coming back to bite him.
Podcaster bodies “insider” over string of freezing cold takes.
Remembering that jab about his YouTube show, Greg Flugaur created an epic slideshow of Altimore’s past tweets aptly accompanied by Green Day’s “Good Riddance.”
Enjoy.
A number of notable college football personalities reacted to the video, as did Flugaur’s followers.
Brett McMurphy wrote, “Hello, operator: I’d like to report a murder.”
Jim Williams, who’s followed this realignment throughout the offseason, simply said, “Crazy!”
Others noted the utter brilliance of the incredible piece of art created by Flugaur.
A cinematic masterpiece. Brilliant.

Peak Twitter, if I do say so myself.

Well done, Greg. Well done.
