Been listening to you on and off since middle school. Gotta admit, I really wasn’t listening as a youth but as a grown man now? You continue to deliver. Deliver the goods, deliver the fact, and the opinion. Bring good energy is always and I appreciate what you do not only for this community but for the Uva community and just the football community in general. I love how accessible you make yourself, and I appreciate the work you’ve put in. I hope this never ends and no matter who has the rights to the show. This is still the ballhawk show to me, and it’ll never change. Keep going Black man.🫡
