    Bonus Episode! Butler, Notre Dame Legend Terry Hanratty's Chat With Steelers Great Bill Cowher

    We have a special treat for football fans this weekend. Legendary Butler and Notre Dame quarterback Terry Hanratty, friend of the pod, is back and brought some early Halloween candy for "Eye on Sports." The former Steeler had a conversation recently with Super Bowl champion and former Pittsburgh head coach Bill Cowher on his own podcast, "Hanratty's Huddle." The two football greats talked about the Steelers, coaching styles, the game's evolution and a whole lot more.  And we're here to bring it to you as well with the Steelers sitting at 4-2 entering the weekend. It's absolutely worth a listen. And it's great to hear Hanratty, who has been battling cancer for more than a year, is still doing well and cracking jokes.
