Mike Murphy, Scott Hudson, DH, and the Intern debate on of the biggest hot button topics in sports today: the college athlete and the issue of being paid:

Mike Murphy, Scott Hudson, and Dave McKenzie continued their countdown to the high school football season beginning on Saturday.  A pair of area schools had to cancel their varsity football seasons, Masyn Winn's Cardinal debut, the struggles Adam Wainwright is going through in his final season, and more!

After an 11-2 season and just the program's third semifinal appearance, the Murphysboro Red Devils were selected as the John A. Logan College Team of the Year.  The Red Devils walked in to the year knowing they would have an elite defense but had question marks all over the offensive side of the ball.  Coach of the Red Devils, Gary Carter, talked with Matt Varney about the season, how things look for the 2024 season and beyond, and the catch heard round Southern Illinois that got Murphysboro past Harrisburg in the quarterfinals.
