Podcast #10 – Beast Mode

by The Rush

Once again down to 3 men, the Rush presses forward in this week’s edition of the podcast. Jim and Dave square off in what is essentially a consolation match of the Alma Mater challenge, while Jim voices his unusually strong opinion of Reggie Bush. After one full week in the books, Dave and Kirill weigh in on Modern Warfare 3, and Jim impresses the crew (mainly Kirill) with his Gimley impression.

This week’s superhero bracket matchups feature two heavy favorites (Silver Surfer and Dr. Manhattan), but only one will live to fight another day.
