Go Orange!

As a born and raised Syracusan and off and on season football ticket holder now living near Philly, Brent’s Syracuse sports knowledge and ability to be concise helps me follow my home team even better. Awesome podcast!

John🤘 ,

Great 👍

Brent is one of the best (if not the best) Syracuse sports journalist. These past few years he has done a great job at really capturing the attitudes of our disillusioned fanbase. He bleeds Orange. Go Cuse.

Rocco II ,

Superb podcast for the Syracuse sports nut!!!

You have to be crazy to love Syracuse with how much pain we have been through in the past decade but if you want quality, unbiased, and intelligent reporting this is the place. Brent tells it like it is and Emily is fantastic with her in depth analysis. Way to go team!!!
