This week's nostalgia file is a tribute to John Blalock's celebrated tenure in the Gardner-Webb University admissions office. Next, Wofford College basketball staff member Adam Sweeney discusses his journey playing and coaching college basketball. He also answers hard-hitting questions about what it's like to room with Paul Hemrick during road trips and why Paul is no match for him in one-on-one. Then, longtime friend of the show Joseph Laurent, the car king of East Tennessee, comes aboard to revisit some greatest hits stories from our college days and beyond.
