D-Fly and Dixie are back with another episode commenting on the week that was and previewing the key matchups of Week 2. There’s an enticing slate of games this weekend, including the long-awaited return to competition for many top programs.





The guys answer listener mailbag questions throughout the show and spend some time reacting to the news from the Ivy League, focusing on the short-term and long-term consequences of the League’s decision. They also discuss the best helmets in college lacrosse, policies surrounding spectator games, the B1G broadcast schedule and more.





In a music-themed Give and Go, the fellas review and comment on the 2021 nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and make their personal Hall selections from the list of nominees.

How did we get here so fast? 



As we leap into the last weekend of April, we need to mentally come to grips with the crazy fact that this will be the last game of the season for a large number of teams. Sadly, it will be the end of dreams and a reminder of the harsh reality of the finality of a lacrosse season. Time flies.



For others, this weekend is an opportunity to better position themselves for post-season glory. They get to continue to chase their goals and be together for another week.



That makes every game on the schedule MASSIVE this weekend. As always, D-Fly & Dixie are here to get you pumped up for marquee games, and we’ll talk to Georgetown’s All-American Graham Bundy ahead of the Hoyas regular-season finale against Villanova on Friday night.

4/25 DIII: Conference Races and Predictions

It's Rivalry Week, huge crowds are showing up and IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello are back to examine two huge games with contrasting identities.



First, to Syracuse, where Foy was in the building for the Orange's 18-17 win over Virginia in the latest entry for Game of the Year (a very crowded ballot). Then, to a Homewood Field that revised its attendance total to become the biggest crowd of the college lacrosse season so far, and where the Blue Jays completed a 7-5 win over their archenemy Terrapins to claim the Crab Trophy. Wrapping up the rivalry talk, they dive into Ohio State's frantic comeback that fell just short and set up a rematch vs., you guessed it — Michigan.



It wasn't all rivalry action, though, and they dive into Mike Gianforcaro's goalie goal, Loyola's win over Navy and what it sets up in the Patriot League, Jacksonville's big ASUN win over Air Force and Yale's win over UAlbany on Friday night that may or may not have laid out the blueprint for Merrimack to beat the Great Danes in Sunday's showcase game, which Ossello attended (after this podcast was recorded).  

4/22 The Tailgate: That One Time… In the Carrier Dome…

It’s Rivalry Week in the college lacrosse season as teams jockey for position in their respective conference tournaments. Expect big crowds, intense action and maximum effort. Are you ready?

In the interview with Degnon, they talk about his unusual recruitment and journey to being a two-time team captain, living up to the standards at Homewood, the 2024 Blue Jays, playing in the sport’s best rivalry, and much, much more.

From there, they bring on former Brown star Larken Kemp to discuss the Bears' win over Princeton.
