History is a fascinating subject. If we don’t learn from it, we are doomed to repeat it. What better than to take history and apply it to the sports we love. History draws us closer to the teams we love and gives us a reason to hate the teams we hate. It’s also riddled with mysteries and questions of what might sports look like if one decision or outcome went a different direction.
Our Youtube channel is the place were we not only explore history but also ask those questions. What if Bear Bryant didn’t leave Kentucky in 1954? What if Bo Jackson never broke his hip? These are just a few of the questions we ask that we believe would create a very interesting alternate reality.
So, below we’ve put the link and description to a few of those episodes, but if you want to see everything we have about sports history head here:
