It's been a while since we've talked football, so we had to catch up on Pitt's pro day, spring practices, and the '24 recruiting class. Although we enjoyed the basketball team's run, it feels right to be getting overly excited about highlights from Spring practice hype videos. Also, Will Levis caught multiple strays throughout the episode.
