The Gametime Guru

During the Boise State home opener against Troy, I realized that something was happening to my body. I was either getting old, or I simply didn't prepare for the season as I normally do. As a fan, there are a few things that you must do to be able to contribute to the team's success for the length of the entire season. 

Make sure you listen as I discuss different things to take into consideration as a fan: 

-Weather

-Screaming

-Standing Up

-Away Games

I'll help you prevent making the same mistakes that I did by going through some experiences that I've had and helping you understand what it takes to be a true fan. 

I think everyone knows the UFC is on top of the MMA World as a top-tier organization. The question is, do you know how they got there? I'll talk about FIVE different MMA Organizations which the UFC has taken over and discuss how they made it to the top of the industry.

Here are some of the organizations which the UFC has taken over in the past 15 years:

- WEC (World Extreme Cage Fighting)

- PRIDE

- IFL (International Fight League)

- Strikeforce

- WFA (World Fighting Alliance)

The argument of whether or not Collegiate Athletes should be paid has been going on for years now. The NCAA makes a major profit off of the mainstream sports, but should the athletes truly receive compensation for this? Maybe they already are receiving compensation, not only through scholarships but other things as well (Experiences, Networking, etc.) We even touch base on the scenario of "taxes." Could the athletes truly even make enough to get by if they are receiving a paycheck? Listen in and we'll break it all down for you today.

Special thanks again to Myles for joining me for another episode.

C.C. Hawkley brings it again with some information about the sport of Hockey. Idaho Steelheads, NHL Free Agency, International Play for Hockey Players, Future of NHL players in the Olympics, etc.

Most people also don't understand that in Idaho, we have a MAJOR soccer / baseball fanbase. This is why we talk about the new plans for the Boise Hawks' Stadium in Boise. Can we get a soccer team to Idaho? Would we have enough support for the team?

Episode 20: G-League Discussion with Victor

Victor from "The Rebound" and "The Daily Rebound" Podcasts, joined me to talk a little "G-League." Follow him on Twitter @thereboundfm and Instagram thereboundfm. You can also find his podcast "The Daily Rebound" on iTunes: The Daily Rebound

Questions we address are:

-What was the "G-League" (formerly the D-League) designed for in the first place

-Why do players go overseas rather than playing in the G-League

-Benefits and disadvantages of the G-League compared to Overseas (transition to the NBA, Money, etc)

- What has the G-League and the NBA done to try and keep the players here in the states?

Stay tuned for the end as Victor does a "rapid fire" Q&A to finish the show.

Hope you enjoy!
