We’re already blessed with a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup in a standalone TV window. You can bet D-Fly & Dixie are excited. With a couple of other Top 20 matchups on tap, this is a loaded show. They are joined by long-time friend of the pod and guest analyst Christian Swezey, who shares insights on why this is Georgetown’s year and discusses his new book, “The Long Red Line.”

This week’s interview is with Maryland’s All-American lockdown defender, Will Schaller. They discuss his hockey background, why he chose Maryland, the benefits of knowledgeable parents, his relationship with Coach Bernhardt, the high expectations for Terps defensemen, pit beef and much, much more. You won’t want to miss it.
