Bates College quarterback Brendan Costa joined Matt Noonan for a brand new Noontime Sports Podcast -- yes, it is Friday, so that means it is a "Football Friday" Podcast. On today's show, Costa and Noonan discuss his team's exciting win over Tufts University last weekend, which resulted in the Bates signal-caller earned the New England Gold Helmet (for Division II/III). Additionally, the two discuss Costa's final season with the Bobcats, which happens to be this fall, and his team's upcoming matchup on Saturday, October 16 against Trinity College.
