  • How is this show still independent?!

    I don’t understand how this show hasn’t been scooped up by someone huge. The content, the quality, and the CFB community these guys have built up seems like the gold standard that a lot of people could learn from. Been listening for a couple years now and it continues to get better each season.

Q: What is the underlying story of how Kentucky got to this place?
