  • Love it!

    Great podcast guys! As a current student, I love the weekly updates about LU athletics, especially regarding sports less focused on around campus. The three of you have great chemistry and the right amount of humor. The podcast also features some great interviews with coaches, athletes, and alumni. Keep up the good work!

  • Great guests

    The guests have all been super good but the best episodes are the ones when Emily is on vacation. She never even completes a sentence, just freelances and doesn’t seem prepared or know much about sports. And she always interrupts Matt and Rhett. Matt is really knowledgeable and Rhett adds good information that your average fan doesn’t know. 4/5 stars.

  • Magnificent Host

    This show is nothing without its hosts. Awesome energy, great content, always well prepared, and led by an incredible female lead. Happy I found this nugget of a podcast on all things Liberty athletics. You’ll never regret listening and anytime they have a guest, I’m pleased to discover new info and insight into that coach or players team.
