Summary
The Cover 3 crew answers listener questions and welcomes Barton back to the show.

Then Barton Simmons, general manager of Vanderbilt football, returns to the show (35:30) and talks why GMs are important for college football programs (40:55) , an outlook for the Commodores in 2023 and beyond (51:02) and much, much more.
