Semple Fi Podcast is joined by friends of the podcast David and Taylor (of Bucket Problem/Meet at Midfield notoriety) for a fun off season game! We're each drafting a full football team (11 offense, 11 defense, 2 specialists) with our friends we've made along the way from the world of Pokémon. This was a really fun episode to record, regular Pitt coverage will resume with our next episode.

Check out Taylor @seltzermom on Twitter and check out her writing at Meet at Midfield.
