Every year, at the end of regular season in college basketball, the HoriZone Roundtable invites fans from each conference school to participate in a two-episode, no-holds-barred forum to discuss the past year, the state of Horizon League, and, of course, some trash-talking between fans.
Starting in 2020, the event has been renamed the Jimmy Lemke Fan Battle Royale, in honor of the founder of the HoriZone Roundtable. It will also be recorded on the first Sunday in May, beginning in 2020, to mark the first-ever recording of what was then called the Horizon League Roundtable, in which Jimmy hosted with guest Jon Durda.
The 2023 Fan Battle Royale will take place on Sunday, May 7th at 12:00pm ET, and will be hosted by Bob McDonald and Jimmy Lemke. If you are interested in participating, please complete the form below, e-mail horizoneroundtable@gmail.com or DM the HoriZone Roundtable on Twitter (@HoriZoneRT).
