Welcome back to another year of SMAAC Talk. Alexis (@clutchmarp) and Zach (@zgoody23) sit down on September 19, 2019 to talk about the end of the MLB season. They discuss whether they think the injuries to Trout and Yelich will affect the voting for MVP and then break down the wild card races in each division.

Alexis (@clutchmarp) is joined by Jason (@JasonW513) and Zach (@ZGoody23) to discuss some of the proposed MLB rules changes and give some of their own suggestions on what can be done to increase engagement with the Sport. They end by giving some horrible takes on Machado and Moustakas in free agency (this was recorded Friday, February 15 before either signed) and hopefully what will be good takes on Harper.

Alexis (@clutchmarp) is joined this week by Sports Communication majors Antoine (@yeehawtwan), Chris (@ChrisStrauss343), and Kyle (@g6_kyle) as they break down the 2018-19 NBA season, discuss their postseason predictions, make some bold statements about who will be MVP and Rookie of the Year. Finally they debate Derrick Rose's ability to win either Most Improved or 6th man--they might have been on to something as this was recorded the day before Rose scored 50 points!

Alexis is joined by Christian Dahncke (Business Administration with a minor in Sports Communication), Jason Wright (Double Major in Economics and Sports Communication), and Dan McGuire (Journalism) to break down the upcoming NHL season. After breaking down the Eastern and Western Conference, everyone goes out on a limb with predictions for the Stanley Cup Champion, MVP, and Defensemen of the year.
