The Pate State / About
The Pate State
Not the biggest site in college football. The closest one.
The Pate State isn't trying to out-headline anybody. It's a place — built around Josh Pate's shows and owned by the people who live for Saturdays in the fall. The citizens vote the poll, write the tailgate guides, fill the mailbag, and keep the leaderboards honest. Josh keeps the receipts. Everything here runs on one bargain: no debates, no hot takes, no paywalled opinions — just the sport, all year, together.
