Run, Pint, Option: Recent Episodes

Brendan Lyman

RPO is devoted to the traditions of college football. Some friends talking through what makes college football great and well... not so great...over some choice pints. Every episode is devoted to one football issue, where they will most definitely not agree where the conclusion ends. This isn't your hot takes transfer message board discussion - this is a long drive through the culture, history, and identity of the greatest American sport.
