  • negativity about unrivaled

    is your employer making you be negative about unrivaled or are y’all on the podcast just republicans? as a wbb fan unrivaled is the perfect league. by players for players and i watch every single game.

    because there’s no angel, sab, and less hype than the start y’all are gonna dunk on it for less viewership?

    the league is better than it was last year. they fixed a lot of the issues. regardless of the change in viewership (only been a couple weeks btw) talking about the league negatively is ... more

  • Just an excellent show

    Super well informed hosts who are genuinely good reporters. It’s the best source of WNBA news and analysis you can find.

    I get if others prefer ex player pods, but this is clearly the best of the “regular people” pods.

  • LSU strength of Schedule

    I have problems with the SOS for wbb and baseball, but what do you do when they have both won Championships in the past 3 years.

    If we could get some road games against decent teams (wbb top 100), I would be happier.

    But would you get in the coach’s face if you were a LSU fan?
