Spring football starts soon for Mizzou with Eli Drinkwitz on the hunt for a QB. Ben Frederickson of the Post Dispatch visits to discuss whether or not, that player is already on the team. Coach Drinkwitz has said if there's a quarterback somewhere that he thinks is a fit, that he would go get him. Could that be Jayden Daniels? We also chat about the Cuonzo Martin debate and how to improve the Missouri basketball program. Yuri Collins and SLU are rolling through February and have looked really good lately. We talk about them in the A10 and potentially playing in March. St. Louis Blues playing great hockey and could have a goalie battle down the stretch. Will it be Binner or Husso? And will the team get some defense help in front of them?

Eventually the Cardinals will play this year and when they do, where does Alex Reyes fit? Ben talks about keeping him out of the closer role.  We recap the challenges Marmol faces in taking over this year with offense and more. Listen here:

In this week’s edition of the Inside the Lines Prep Sports Podcast with Jim Powers, we talk hoops with two of the great coaches in the area as they get their teams ready for district action. First, we chat with Eureka’s head girls basketball coach James Alsup about the Wildcats’ year and how they have made a lot of noise this season. Then, we sit down with Westminster head boys coach Dale Ribble to talk about his Wildcats and the terrific season that they are having as they prepare for the district tournament.

The guys talk takeaways from Riviera and look ahead to the Honda Classic. Some are talking about Tiger's potential return. Does he get back to the Masters? Or rather play a flat course like Old St. Andrews?  Jay and Dan talk strategy and equipment changes for players because of Tiger's competitiveness. Phil Mickelson has made some news lately too. Our thoughts on that plus picks for this weekend. Listen here:

A lot to talk about this morning with Ben Fredrickson of the St. Louis Post-dispatch. With the Missouri Tigers basketball team sitting at a 10 and 15 record, what is on the horizon for Coach Martin? Is a bad year at year five a death sentence? We talk about if the team could rebound by getting more into the NIL scene. Also, how quickly could the team turn around with help from the transfer portal?

We talk too about the Blues and how the club leadership has established a consistently winning team. They seem to always be in the hunt and have fans engaged. Will the same go for the city’s new soccer team? Ben talks to us about the news this week of stadium naming rights. The timing was good showing that a huge corporation in Centene sees this investment as a worthy one.

Some St. Louisans may have had a hard time watching the Rams win the Super Bowl last weekend but at least the parade turn out didn’t show us up. Listen here:
