TheSabre.com introduced a new podcast partnership to be featured here on the site and through our social media channels. It’s time for Episode 5.
Hosted by two people named Michael – ACC fans by birth, degenerate gamblers for mirth – The Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast is a college sports podcast through the lens of the ACC. Michael McGraw is a University of Virginia graduate and fan, while Michael Shutt is a life-long NC State fan. Both grew up watching the ACC and have insights on the history and present of the conference … plus plenty of healthy ABC – (Anybody But Carolina) bias.
This episode focuses on playoff games, bowls, and recruiting for college football plus college basketball heating up:
- Shutt’s experience at the Duke’s Mayo Bowl (0:00-9:19)
