Adam Taxin Show #7

Wed, 02 Jan 2008 15:50:02 -0500

New Years Day was probably the last day that I wanted to wake up early to do a radio interview, but I manned up and talked some college football with Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch and NFLPA agent/radio host Adam Taxin on 1540 AM WNWR in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Crouch and I had faith in Illinois, I was convinced that Florida would win (totally forgetting that Michigan would allow Lloyd Carr to coach the game…not like that should have mattered), and I was looking forward to watching a great Hawaii vs. Georgia game. My only correct prediction was that Illinois runningback, Rashard Mendenhall, would impress. Crouch and I disagreed on how we think the Ohio St. vs. LSU game would turn out. Can you guess what team each of us picked? Make sure to listen to the .mp3 interview to find out! To listen to the mp3 version of my interview with Adam Taxin and Eric Crouch: CLICK HERE I am driving back up to Gainesville, FL today. Winter break has commenced and I am ready to start my second official semester of law school this Friday. I aim to post another Book Review tomorrow, so hang tight. I wish you all a very Happy New Year.
