Jim Zorn on Sirius Radio

Just before I pulled into my house after work our coach made an appearance. So I stayed in my car to hear what he had to say to radio hosts Tim Green and Ross Tucker (former Skin)

Chad Rinehart has another pick the host love, primarily for value and versitility. He manned the G/T postions at N. Iowa and according to the Insider will be taking some snaps (literily) at the C postion.
