  • Football season is unbearable

    This show has evolved over the years. What used to be a fun mix of WVU sports, candy review, and restaurant recommendations is now propaganda propping up a dirtbag head football coach. Two of the three guys are sycophants for Rich Fraud. Hope springs eternal for a return to reason come basketball season.
