Episode 101: The Pop-A-Shot Championship

Click here to listen to Episode 101

This week, we celebrate last week's 100th Episode with a live segment at Dave and Busters.  We talk briefly with Tobin Shepherd about the Ohio State sanctions, and then...the highlight of the episode.

The official Scooterb and JJ Pop-A-Shot Championship.  You don't want to miss Tobin's commentary.

After that, we retreat back to the studio and talk about a lot of topics.

We start with more on the Ohio State rulings.  We move on to a weird story about NCAA greed and the bands of LSU and Alabama.  We then break down the Gator Bowl just a bit, before segueing (sort of) into ranting more about the Bluejackets.

We round up the show with some Tebow Time, the Bengals and Big Ten Basketball talk...

BUT THERE'S EVEN MORE!  We have BREAKING NFL NEWS during the episode.  You don't want to miss this.

Thanks for listening.

Episode 100: We made it!

Episode 100: Click here to listen!

Well, we made it!  And how do we celebrate?  By doing a pretty normal show.  Note: this was recorded Monday night, so there is nothing about the NCAA's ruling about the Buckeyes in this episode.

What you will hear is some ranting about the Bluejackets, and fans in the press box.  You'll hear BOLD NBA PREDICTIONS!  You'll hear me actually congratulating some football teams.  And more of our usual nonsense!

We really appreciate both of you that listen...

Here's to at least 5-10 more shows!

Episode 52: No Way But the Hard Way

Welcome back everybody!

This week, we welcome Columbus Wired's Columbus Blue Jackets beat writer Dave Seaman to the conversation, to go in depth into what is ailing our beloved, but struggling Columbus Blue Jackets.

After that, Justin and I talk about the #1 ranked Ohio State men's basketball team (yes, they play other sports there).

We then do some quick hits about Joey Votto's new contract, the NFL playoffs, and Brett Favre retiring...again.

Fun show, especially if you are interested in the Bluejackets.

Also, for even more Bluejackets fun, come live chat with other Bluejacket fans during the game Tuesday Jan. 18 at 7:15 PM. I've been in the last 2 chats, and it's a lot of fun.

Talk to you later.

Episode 50: Drive to the Sugar Bowl

Welcome back everybody!

This week, it's football, football, football, with some basketball mixed in.

We spend a lot of time in college football debating the horrible Big Ten New Year's Day Massacre and a new controversy surrounding the Ohio State Buckeyes.

We then go to the NFL to discuss the early fallout of "Black Monday" and we briefly look at the wild card round of the playoffs.

We then wrap up the show with the UConn women's basketball streak being snapped and sadness in Cleveland...again.
