Show notes

It’s your favorite time of the week; Collin Sherwin, Senator Giggity and Anthony Vito recording your favorite podcast live from The WaVe Studios once again while Nathan Bond is being responsible and covering the Men’s Basketball game, a little earlier than he wanted to. This week’s podcast is a little more ranty than usual, but we won’t tell Nate it’s because he wasn’t there with an agenda or anything. Topics discussed include how our Gasparilla went, the week that was in Men’s and Women’s Basketball, preseason softball expectations, more love for star Basebulls starter Shane McClanahan, what to expect from the hopefully quiet National Signing Day next Wednesday and take some of your #AskTDS Facebook and Twitter questions. Since there weren’t that many, mostly because we asked you guys as we were recording, we then asked ourselves about our own USF experiences. So what say you? If you listened to the whole pod what was the easiest class you took at USF? What was your strangest or most memorable moment at USF?
