It’s Inauguration Day! While the nation braces for a peaceful transition of power, the internal power struggles within the Weave continue. Was the NCAA tournament schedule change up necessary? Are conference tournaments necessary? What IS necessary? That’s just the tip of the iceberg of this ‘sode's banter…

*DISCLAIMER: Minor sound cracks are due to internet connectivity issues in Matthew’s STL home WiFi network (AT&T, be better). This WILL be addressed going forward*
