All American & Louisville legend, Russ Smith was kind enough to join the show this week. We talk about his venture, Mr. & Mrs. Bourbon, which is growing by the minute. He keeps us updated on his professional career, while also talking us back down memory lane, discussing some of the best years in Louisville basketball history. We break down the TBT team, which is formed of UofL Alumni and playing at Freedom Hall in late July. He seemed very excited to reignite the Siva-Russdiculous backcourt. He also talks about the current state of our program and why he believes in Kenny Payne.

AB is back and we start our show with 25 minutes on my trip to Death Valley. The scenes, the screams and the heroes… what a night. We then jump into this weekends slate of games: Louisville-Clemson, LSU-Arkansas, Texas-TCU & much more. We give out 5 NFL and 5 NCAA picks for the weekend, hoping that the good luck can continue for another week.
