    Episode 44: Double Quatro and Double Shots

The Double quarto episode (thought of that all on our own).  - Our go to coffee orders - Gilli is a coffee nut, Connor's order is that of an extremely basic white girl.  - Would you rather be a somewhat high end college basketball coach, or a coach for a mediocre, average NBA team?  - Julian Edelman retired, one of the great college quarterbacks that switched to a professional receiver stories. So who else should have changed positions after college and into the NFL? - Tim Tebow was not as bad of a pro baseball player as one would think.  - The NFL might change the numbers rule, who would we like to see go back to their original college number?  - Which NFL stars would we most want to see go back to playing baseball?
