Then, it’s portal madness for BYU: from the Bachmeier brothers joining the football squad to a men’s basketball roster rebuild that looks... terrifying in the best way.

Finally, Matt takes Microsoft to task for jacking up Xbox prices and $80 games — offering a passionate rant on why AAA gaming is starting to suck and what you can (and should) play instead. Steam Deck gang, rise up.
