On this episode of ACCNation Podcast we are joined by Thomas Shults of Orange Fizz and Kevin Connelly of Ball Durham. Shults and Connelly bring us up-to-date on Syracuse and Duke football, basketball and more. The countdown is on. Will we have a college football season? Both guests have thoughts on the topic right up front.

Contrary to some hog slop that a select group of dimwits are trying to feed sports fans, the media definitely wants the season. But, it's got to be done smart and with the health of all involved considered. We can say with certainty that everyone at ACCNation wants all sports to return. To top that comment off, we collectively have never heard anyone in sports say otherwise.
