Legendary... it can mean so many different things. For the group of young men and coaches who suited up in the blue and white football uniforms in 1984 for the Marshall County Tigers, the idea of being Lengendary was probably the furthest word from their minds. However, in striving for excellence, pushing themselves, and playing the kind of hard nosed defense that could both excite their crowd, as well as silence their opponent's crowd... these Tigers may have found themselves worthy of legend. Bob Edens, Joe George, Jeff Lyttle, Danny Pickle, and Keith Stacey joined the History Club to help tell the story of the '84 Tigers! (And be sure to subscribe so you don't miss our Bonus episode this summer of the complete Tigers Round Table!) We also hear from Lewisburg's Director of Economy and Community, Greg Lowe. This month's alumni spotlight is current UT-Knoxville freshman Gracie Steely.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
