CONGRATS TO VALERIA VAZQUEZ GOMEZ ON 1,000 CAREER KILLS BECAUSE I FORGOT TO SAY IT ON THE EPISODE!

Friend of the show James Santelli (author of the Bandwagoner's Guide to Pitt Volleyball) joins Zack to talk all things Pitt Volleyball - their dominance this season, their multiple player of the year candidates, the Bre Kelley difference, Dan Fisher's curveballs with Nisa Buzlutepe (Zack cannot pronounce that last name), and looking to the future for this team - both looking to this December in the postseason and to the future addressing new Pitt Athletic Director Allen Greene's comments about the program. It's time to tap in to what Dan Fisher has built on the hill.

Former Pitt QB (2005-2009) Bill Stull joins Semple Fi to talk ball. Zack gets to pick Bill's brain on what this offense does well and why it works so well, how Eli looks like a veteran four games into his career, Big East football, and how to get psyched to play WV.

Bill is also a part of Pittsburgh Men Wear Pink, and they're putting on a fundraiser at Southern Tier on the North Side on October 3rd. If you're able to, be sure to stop by the North Side for a fun night and to support the American Cancer Society.
