  • Thanks

    I listen weekly. Always great to listen to Tom and Keith on FSU. And great to hear the stories from the good-ole football days when Keith was on D and catching punts! I was there, but in the bleachers. Good memories.

    Keith Jones is clueless. Listen to Wake Up Warchant or the Nolecast instead.
