Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 26 ratings
  • Great show covering all sports

    Although there is a lean towards college football they cover all Women’s and men’s sports at UF and also get into Pro sports as well. They treat all callers with respect and it is easy to call in and give your opinion. Their guests are some of the biggest names in college and pro sports because Steve has been around a few centuries and has trained 20% of the broadcasters doing sports.

  • Go Gators

    I love Steve’s professionalism and his great coverage of UF. I especially enjoy the “Inside the Huddle” segment with Shane and the HBC. This is great if you can’t listen to live.
