2/25 DFly & Dixie: Nirvana with Jacksonville's John Galloway

Feb 25, 2022, 01:04 PM

D-Fly is joined by IL Editor-in-Chief Matt Kinnear this week as Dixie is sidelined by life’s 10-man ride. Dan and Matt get you ready for a heady Week 3 that features a stunning SEVEN Top 20 matchups with previews of each game, a brief recap of the previous week and the success of the Big Ten, a fantastic interview with Jacksonville head man, John Galloway, and much more.

In the Galloway interview, they discuss No. 13 Jacksonville’s hot start and first national ranking, what’s behind the rise of the SoCon on a national level, recruiting in the age of COVID redshirts and the transfer portal, the growing legend of Max Waldbaum, this weekend's Rocky Mountain double dip, Galloway’s retirement after a remarkable playing career and, of course, the reason why he always wore those sweatpants in the cage.

GIVE & GO
Freed from Dixie’s rudimentary and limited knowledge of music, this week’s Give and Go is a tastefully-themed discussion and definitive ranking of Grunge Era bands. With Pearl Jam a consensus No. 1, Matt gives his nuanced Top 5, tells how he nearly blew his ear drums one time at a Tool concert this week and they also compare the parallel careers of Dave Grohl and Larry David.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
