Story behind the story: Toby Keith’s everlasting bond with the Mud Dogs
Sellout Crowd's Sam Hutchens talks to Guerin Emig on The Mind Games Podcast about how the story came together about Toby Keith's Mud Dogs
Toby Keith touched many more lives than we can imagine. Among them: 21 elementary school-aged boys in Norman who played on Toby’s Mud Dogs football team. Sam Hutchens wrote the story for Sellout Crowd after Toby’s passing. Here, he comes on Mind Games to reflect on how the story came together, something that began with a call to Mud Dogs team member Joe Castiglione, Jr, and how Toby’s influence on those kids resonates to this day.
