4.5 out of 5 stars from 63 ratings
  • Great Content/Bad Audio

    Love the show and all is the Rutgers content. However, the poor mic or broadcast audio makes it difficult to listen to. Fix that and I’d give it 5 stars!

  • Nothing short of great

    If you are a die-hard fan of Scarlet Knight football, basketball, or even wrestling, this is your fix. The only bad part of it is that each episode eventually ends.
