  • True fans, well produced, talented on the mic

    This is very professional considering that it's a fan podcast. The hosts are genuinely funny with real talent for this. They are also true fans; no lame over the top negative reactions or hot takes. Just good, fair analysis of our team.

  • The Place for Everything Illini Athletics

    What impresses me most is their depth of knowledge on everything Illini. The 4 guys seems to be a walking encyclopedia which is an awesome resource as someone who is just a normal fan.

    Plus the people they have on the show are fantastic, pretty big names as well.

    Great listen, very fun, informative, great PI!
