Summary

On this episode Melanie and I talk about - wait for it - COLLEGE FOOTBALL. It's the week of SEC Media Days, and that always sparks a little football reflection (and also hope!) in the two of us. Given that, we enjoy a little pre-season analysis of A&M's September schedule before we recap our weekends and discuss a movie that we both unexpectedly adored. What a time.

Melanie also brings some rom-com concerns to the forefront, and it's her turn for Five Favorites.

Hope you enjoy!
