Show notes

With Kevin still out in Hawaii, Gary steps in with Drake and Tyler to talk more from the Super Bowl.

Towards the end some banter about Drake losing his scholarship to a no name receiver and a look back at how Kluver's starting spot was once in jeopardy. A bunch of other topics get touched on as well.

Football Comes To An End | WUW 394 Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

Dedication to the podcast is called into a question in this riveting episode 394. Kevin experiences a major life event, Drake falls ill to some random sickness, and the Chiefs defeated the Eagles in Superbowl 57. We discuss the operational behavior of our Walkon social accounts and why responding to every DM and mention is part of our brand, and we talk about the reaction to some of our recent Brian Ferentz clips, one of which ended in somebody getting bodied and deleting their account. We discuss a potential rebrand and what that would look like on Gary's resume, if the NFL has regulation and bias in place to allow for Offensive based teams to succeed both on and off the field, and we talk about why Iowa wouldn't work in the league. Loads of other discussion topics as well.
