What better way to start Season 2 of TPP than to welcome in the man who introduced Coach Kovo to podcasting! He was Coach Kovo's Nose Guard on his best team at Ridge Point and now he is coaching at Nolan Ryan Junior High in Shadow Creek Ranch, welcome Mike Obi to the show!

• Growing up in the legendary Pearland Oiler/Dawson Eagle feeder system before moving to another up and coming football power at Ridge Point HS in Missouri City as a freshman.

• Obi shares what it was like behind the scenes as a player on that magical 12-1 Panther team in 2014.

• Coach has a lot of interests outside of the work day including his collaboration with Coach Kovo on a Houston HSFB/Roughnecks/Gamblers podcast (please help us by subscribing at: youtube.com/@HTownPickEm) but perhaps his biggest passion is his love for fragrance. Mike shares how he started this journey including to the point where he started a fragrance line of his own!
