In our latest podcast, we talk about the latest development in a tough stretch for a legend-turned-coach, the many questions that still remain about the near future of college athletics, a surprising firing and some player transactions of note. We also close by looking back on earlier times in recruiting in light of the recent retirement of a legendary talent evaluator.
It’s been an interesting first season for Juwan Howard at his alma mater, with a lot happening from the beginning to Sunday’s blowout of Indiana. Plus a former Wolverine head coach appears to not be long for his current job, the Aztecs continue to win, and a Husky goes down early to the chagrin of many, including an opposing player.
The remarkable work Scott Drew has done at Baylor continues with a nice road win on Tuesday night. Plus some key results in the Big Ten, road teams rule the SEC, and a Big East team is now finding its stride.
The result of a big in-state rivalry is ripe for over-reacting on either side, and we look at how one might do that as well as how we should read the result. Plus another good win by a conference trying to bounce back, a Spartan gamely battles after tragedy, and a very rough start down south.
The ACC openers are in the books, with the defending champs looking just fine and a freshman breaking a record. Plus one conference has started out well, and there’s also some coaching news.
As the season gets closer, some burning questions come to mind, and we take a look at them as well as what to expect in a few more conferences this season.
Tennessee toughed out an SEC road win at Ole Miss that had a big-time feel, maybe appropriate since March is just a day away now. Villanova did the same at home against Marquette, Texas should be in serious trouble, and the wacky MVC race will come down to the final day.
On a day where a football team in the same area grabbed everyone’s attention, an ACC team got their first conference win in fine fashion. Plus a healthy win this time around in the Big East, the Hawkeyes seemingly couldn’t miss, and one team continues to dominate of late in a Pac-12 series.
Steve Alford’s firing at UCLA was no surprise. That still doesn’t make it right in the middle of a season.
After the last day without a Division I game for a few months, we look at how the conferences shape up since non-conference play is just about in the books. Plus a story from the gridiron that seems to unbelievable to be a coincidence.
