We're back after a 20-day hiatus and we brought a guest — Carley Pitts joins the show as the first female guest in Shirts & Skins history! She came locked and loaded with opinions, hashtag drama, and open DMs for tech billionaires. We wrap up the Boise State basketball season, get into what needs to change, and shift to spring football — Maddux Madsen, the QB room, a brutal schedule breakdown, and whether this team is an 8-4 or 7-5 squad. Plus: BYU's $14M NIL spend, Utah State losing their coach (again), student section struggles, trivia with Carly, and the eternal debate — is Mark the truth?🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode.💬 Comment below: Is Mark the truth?
