BRANDON WALKER AND KAYCE SMITH DELIVER A THROWBACK EPISODE

Welcome to Unnecessary Roughness Old School Edition. If you've been with us for six years since, or seven years now, since 2019, this is how the majority of the shows went early and then middle and then whatever, but it is me and Casey Smith, just the two of us back together again for this episode. 

T-Bob, Big Ev, and Blutman are joined by Mike Katic to ring in the College Football offseason as they talk CFB scheduling, the ever developing new era of College sports, and whether or not Alabama Football has lost its luster.
