The episode is historic because it holds the creation on a brand new section: Fan Forum Findings (working title). Yes, we stroll through the drama of a certain Mercer fan page discussion to cap off a Three Man Thoughts section that includes soap boxes on Gonzaga, Luka Garza, and more. Heavy Loyola and Loyola-adjacent episode!
