Preferred Walk-Ons Podcast: The Ball Is Tipped

The show took a vacation last week, but there are no more days off for the foreseeable future. College football enters the final stretch of the season, while basketball returned on Monday.

With both sports now in action, the hosts discussed what to watch this weekend on the gridiron and previewed the season ahead on the hardwood. That includes the state of ACC football, a preview for the Virginia-Louisville game, and more. Also, what are the expectations for the league’s basketball teams this season?
