Everyone's got an opinion. Ours is just better.
Despite Covid taking the best game of the year away from us we’re back to recap what happened last week in the college basketball world. We also look forward to a scrumptious slate of games this upcoming week and we introduce a new segment: “Gamblin & Griswoldin”
The Shark and Taylor will give you their best gambling picks and you’ll either become rich or poor. No in between. We also are back with TWIT and Hugs plus the Shark gives us some wise words: “What A Time To Have Time” Write that down.
The guys chop it up and give their predictions for the Grizzlies through MLK day, round-table style (6-8 was the prediction). Each of us came up with our own starting lineup that we would like to see and we closed it out talking the Wall/Westbrook trade.
We’ve officially made it back but that doesn’t mean all is well. The Shark & Subbi hash some things out before we dive into topics like Luka Garza dominating already, 3 top 10 teams losing, Gonzaga being a wagon (Gonwagon? Gonzagan?) workshop with me. And of course Calipari comes out hot with an impassioned/absurd sound byte. Then we interview long time listener and avid Dukie, Jimmy McGuinness to get his thoughts on the Blue Devils and we try to figure out why the Duke big man went from the great looks of Christian Laettner to Ryan Kelly and Matthew Hurt. Then we wrap up with Hugs.
The Crossover Classic was a disappointment for Memphis fans. In a weak field, Memphis failed to win more than a single game. Here are some thoughts on where things stand from my seat.
College Hoops Is Back. Only thing left to say: Theater
The gang’s all here to discuss the Grizzlies moving up in the 2020 NBA Draft not once, but TWICE, and the ensuing moves that were made in Free Agency. This is part 1 of a 2 part pod.
The Titans came away with a well fought win over the ravens on Sunday, showing that they still have what it takes to win games as long as they can get all the pieces working together.
Can you feel it? Taste it? Smell, See, Hear it? College basketball is back in one week, my sweet sweet theatergoers! We talk about Indianapolis hosting all rounds of the tournament. Subbi might have to drive on over from Chicago. Then we discuss Gregg Marshall’s resignation and we allow Taylor to two step as he basically called that he wouldn’t survive this. We also talk Rick Pitino wanting to delay the season and introduce May Madness. Honestly, you can call it whatever the hell you want just give me tournament basketball. Then we bring back an oldie but a goodie segment: This Week In Theat and round it out with Hugs
Taylor takes the ball and goes iso this week while Subbi and the Shark ride the pine. The initial AP Preseason Top 25 was released and some notable teams are discussed, as well as some daunting schedules ahead of the top two teams in the country. Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo has contracted Coronavirus and Taylor discusses how that situation might impact other teams throughout the season. Referee Ted Valentine made comments about how he referees games in loud arenas and names a few of his favorites to which our host has nome not-so-positive thoughts on. Resident Duke fan Cody Hoxie is brought in to discuss his view on the college basketball season, Duke’s outlook and some notes on the ACC. Where Am I? and a hug to Wisconsin-great JD Wise round out the program.
The Titans were handed a resounding loss on Thursday going down to the Colts 34-17. Things were looking great in the beginning of the season when the team started out 5-0 but now things don’t seem as rosy, even though they are still on top of the division at 6-3 things are looking rough, and the road to the playoffs isn’t going to get easier.
