Things discussed: Some people on this podcast have never seen Brady Bunch, or Seinfeld, or both! Long NIL discussion: The NCAA is in "We gotta do something" mode but have no ability to actually do something. They can't do anything because they're hamstrung by their own legal arguments that deny them a way to have players sign contracts, and hamstru…

Things discussed: Miggy Theater 3000 Terrence Shannon would be a perfect fit—Charles Matthews with better outside shooting and not as good at bad shots. 97%ile on spot-ups, is a 6'6" wing defender who played for TTU. If Diabate goes to the NBA, you bump up Houstan to the four and Shannon is a three. Admissions? That seems to be the real question. H…

Things discussed: Michigan draft picks: DE production in college translates. Love Dax on the Bengals—fixes a major "you drafted a Buckeye cornerback" mistake. Nice to have the Ravens to snatch up any leftover Michigan players. So many Georgia picks: and the best player on that defense slipped to the 3rd round. Why? College football's playoff system…

Things discussed: Hunter Dickinson: This is why NIL is good for the game. In college he's the cornerstone of a very good team, a heel, and a constant presence; no NBA fans are going "Ah man, I hope my team drafts you." Illinois is falling apart: nobody wants to play for Brad Underwood. NCAA vs NIL: They're going to lose—their latest fig leaf just g…

Things discussed: The end of hockey: not just randomness. We didn't love the conservative approach—got scared by the end of Quinnipiac perhaps? Who's back, what's the program look like long-term? Mel's contract: Waiting for the WilmerHale Report. We don't know what they'll turn up; what's out there doesn't seem like a firing. Juwan/Lakers? Doesn't …

Things discussed: Spring Game standouts: We like what we saw on the DL: Benny and Rooks are coming on, Jenkins impressed, can see how the Mike Morris/(read: Chris Wormley) style of pass rush is going to happen. Sainristil at nickel is more of a Blake Countess than a Dax Hill, but you can certainly make that work. They're going to be more subby than…

Things discussed: Villanova game: Hunter Dickinson, hit the shots you always hit. What are you gonna do? Hoops future: guys we like in the portal, Frankie was the difference between a first round exit and a Sweet 16 team. Not looking good for getting back either Diabate or Dickinson, so now what? Can Jett give them the three they need? Can Bufkin g…

Things discussed: Did anyone predict Michigan over Tennessee? Colorado State breakdown: after the luck tap ran out Michigan had the Frankie Collins game. Tennessee breakdown: Frankie's defense, and Eli Brooks hitting us in the feels. The guy who steps up. Also stepping up: Terrance Williams. Find more minutes for him because he's a winner. Villanov…

Things discussed: Our brackets: We like Arizona, Auburn, and...oh no Iowa? Lots of chalk to the Sweet 16, then things get interesting. Purdue out a messy East because VT is such a hot upset pick you get high value. Davison vs MSU? We like Foster Loyer here, because the more Izzo coaches the worse State can be. Women's: Tell me how Leigha Brown's fe…

Things discussed: At Ohio State: The Devante' Jones Game. Craft in his game finally adapted to the Big Ten. His shooting changed OSU's plan to go under screens. T-Will: Unlocked by transition. Officiating was unacceptable. Not the usual bad Boroski stuff: They let Liddell get away with everything. Michigan defense: brought doubles from the baseline…

Things discussed: Illinois just hit shots: not too worried about that performance. What was Izzo doing? Not taking responsibility for an insane gameplan. Why did Bingham only play 9 minutes when he was holding up against Hunter? Michigan went under screens. Craig: it's not drop coverage. Frankie: rest of the team has to catch up to his speed too. G…

Things discussed: The brawl: punishment for Juwan was appropriate, lack of accountability from Wisconsin was terrible. NCAA should have suspended the UW assistant coaches, especially the one who tackled Terrance Williams. Wisconsin fans don’t get to talk about Juwan unless their embarrassment of Brad Davison. Rutgers game: It’s the shooting. Caleb …
