We are officially back from our long winter's rest!  Hope everyone had a great holiday and it's time to dive into the first episode of 2023 of the KOGpod!

On this episode #108:

- Since we've been out, the Kansas City Chiefs grabbed the #1 seed in the AFC and will have a bye going into the divisional round.  Blake and Tommy discuss their confidence level for KC in the playoffs and what it might take for them to make a Super Bowl run and who could possibly get in their way.

- The Kansas State Wildcats finished out a phenomenal season with an unfortunate loss in the Sugar Bowl to Alabama.  With Will Howard returning next year, a great recruiting class coming in,, but the loss of top performers Deuce Vaughn, Malik Knowles and Felix Anudike-Uzomah all declaring for the NFL Draft, what should the expectations for the Cats be next season?

- The Kansas Jayhawks fell in a highly entertaining Liberty Bowl to Arkansas in 3 OT's 55-53.  Defense should be the focus of this program to improve in 2023, but Blake and Tommy talk about how far off the Hawks are in being a complete team next year.

- Our Wichita Whiparound has an update on All Metro HS football, plus a new, but familiar face running the Wichita Wind Surge and a permanent home for the NBC World Series for the next two seasons.

- The show wraps up with quick updates on all 3 area Division 1 basketball programs, namely how the Jayhawks are one of the best teams in America, the Shockers are struggling to find their identity and win conference games, and the Wildcats are one of the biggest surprises on the hardwood in the country this season.
