Well, due to some technical difficulties not associated with bourbon this time, this show has been a few weeks in the making. But here it is: the totally wonderful mess that is Episode 6! Pay no attention to the audio quality of Ken’s microphone. In spite of what he might say in the pre-show disclaimer, there is nothing weird or goofy to hear here...at all.

We open the show with the festivities surrounding Scott's first wedding anniversary, improving the internet connectivity in Petey (my '02 Peterbilt), discuss the hiring of Trev Alberts, and then dissected the OU-Texas move to the SEC.

Our main topic features another Top 5 list; namely our favorite five players we've watched. 5 on offense, and 5 on defense.

We finish the show with our Fun Fact Segment, where we talk about our favorite football movies. So kick back, pardon the audio issues, and enjoy our second-to-last episode before the 2021 season kicks off on August 28th!
