Our hockey season is in full swing and we can gladly say, AI hasn’t taken our jobs yet. With CoPilot going 1-5 on it’s picks, we all take an early lead. Know who else took an early lead? Penn State! The Nittany Lions get a big sweep over ASU, in one of the biggest series of opening weekend. Badgers start off strong with a sweep over Lindenwood, and Michigan Tech steals one from Minnesota! Is this year a hot seat year for Motzko? More big matchups this week as the weather is cooling down, but the season is sure to heat up. Tune in!

The wait is over…we have HOCKEY this weekend! Tune in as we dive into the matchups that are kicking off the 2025/2026 season. We go over the PairWise name change, still dumb, news around the NCAA, and as always, make our picks on some intriguing matchups! New this year, we are testing our skills against the power of…..AI. That’s right. Microsoft CoPilot will be making picks against us this season. Can our expertise fight the knowledge of technology, or will our jobs be taken away by AI? Tune all season long to find out if we will become unemployed!

Ladies and Gentlemen, WE ARE BACK! The 5th season of Light the Lamp Podcast is here and in our debut episode, we dive headfirst into the madness of the transfer portal (spoiler: it’s basically free agency now), unpack the latest NCAA news that’s shaking up the rankings, and make our preseason picks for every conference champion, including a few that might make you question any sort of knowledge we have. Welcome back!

You thought we’d just leave you hangin?!? We are back for our final episode of the year, a few weeks after the 2025 National Championship matchup. A huge congratulations to the Western Michigan Broncos for winning it all in St. Louis. We break it all down with a VERY special guest, Western Michigan Superman, Chris Wheeler! We talk about his fandom, his experience at the National Championship, and his thoughts on his Broncos.

This is it! Tune in boys!
