  • Just a tiny DC school.

    If there’s one on the way I apologize that being said it is okay to talk about Georgetown in one of these summer schools. I will take a mention about the program period.

  • Them Behavior, Norlander

    Have listened to every episode of this podcast. I’m one of us, though not nearly as often as I would have liked back in those days. Love the show. But Norlander has become an interruption machine. Insufferable and needs to chill. Literally jumps people’s sentences like Larnell jumps bags. Stop it, Matt. Get help. It’s “them” behavior.

  • Grammar 101

    It is past conditional tense: “Could have gone”. Not “Could have went”

    You’re not the only sports broadcaster that continually makes this flagrant grammatical foul.

  • I finally had to unsubscribe

    By and large, it's a good podcast. I just got overly tired of hearing them refer to "Ken Pom" over and over. They refer to KenPom like an old fashioned evangelist preaching from the Old Testament. For me, I need a break. May check back next season and hope they slobber over another source besides KenPom.
