Did you scroll through Twitter last weekend wondering, "What's the XFL?" If so, and if you're questioning if this league will even work, you're not alone! The hosts break down everything you need to know, including the league's opening weekend, its unique "fan-centered" approach and the creators behind it all. Then, the hosts relive the overtime excitement of Mizzou men's basketball beating Mississippi State; can the Tigers run the table? Listen as they discuss how far Missouri can go in the SEC Tournament...and beyond. Finally, the hosts share their unrelated but equally entertaining sports recaps including watching Missouri upset Auburn in gymnastics and lots of cars race around a track or something...just kidding, race cars are cool! As always, thanks for listening! 

The Chiefs are Super Bowl champions...again! Before Blaise unpacks all his Super Bowl LVII excitement, the hosts discuss Derek Carr's future after parting ways with the Raiders.

What's a tennis show without a little tennis talk?

After debating whether the NFL Divisional round really "went crazy" as Blaise argues, the hosts talk all things AFC and NFC championship and sneak in some (surprising?) Super Bowl predictions. Make sure to listen until the end when the hosts unpack the NBA. Thanks for listening y'all!

Abigail and Blaise are back in the studio for a new season of Mixed Doubles! After sharing some awkward "syllabus week-style" ice-breakers, the hosts jump on the roller coaster that is Missouri sports, including the struggling ballers and the ranked Tiger teams lighting up the Hearnes Center!
