  • I was told I could say what I want if I leave 5 stars

    Sorry Robbie and Brian. I am not going to listen anymore until basketball season starts up. Why should I subject myself to this? I should not have to listen to you all have to talk about how close we are. You all should not have to be saying how close we are. This is unacceptable and I am not going to keep up with football anymore. Don’t even care. Good luck on the podcast guys, you all are great. So much better than Pississippi State Football
