Gate City Podcast

After an incomplete season 2, what better time to bring GCP back than football season? We are joined by Ross Martin (our first 2-time guest) to talk a little App State UNC and to figure out what's going on with Hog's hair. Tox gives his thoughts on the upcoming Panthers season during Keep Podding. Has he changed his thoughts on head coach Matt Rhule? And if you haven't seen the Netflix shows about the Rise and Fall of And1 or the Manti Te'o catfishing, take a trip down nostalgia lane with us and watch those over the weekend. A little life reset is good every now and then. It feels good to be back. Hang with us as we get back into it, and continue to learn, grow and progress..
