Mid-Major Madness Podcast: A salute to the unbeatens

January 13, 2021 • 44 mins
With reduced schedules, constant pauses, and more, teams have not played as many games as they normally would have by mid-January. This has left us with a handful of undefeated teams, and some of them with a real chance of finishing the season unblemished. We take a look at each one of them (minus Alabama State, sorry) and talk about their chances moving forward. Then, we move on to Dayton before having some fun at Hannah's expense...

Mid-Major Madness Podcast: Northern Iowa and San Diego State head in opposite directions

December 15, 2020 • 46 mins
This week, Northern Iowa announced that it would forgo the remainder of its non-conference schedule to try and get healthy. The Panthers are 1-4 and have now lost star AJ Green for the season, so the balance of power has shifted significantly in the Valley. We break that down, then look at the San Diego State Aztecs who are somehow even better than expected. The gang also touches on Grand Canyon, Rhode Island, Western Kentucky, and...

Mid-Major Madness Podcast: A Mercer Bears and Ohio Bobcats appreciation podcast

December 8, 2020 • 48 mins
It's been, well, a week in college basketball. The most anticipated game of the weekend (Gonzaga vs. Baylor) was called off and the Bulldogs are now paused due to positive COVID-19 case(s) within the program. So instead of breaking that game down, we discussed the Mercer Bears and why they are Sam's mid-major crush of the week. Then, Russ challenged Sam and Lance to a game about Ohio's 40-0 run before we started speculating about t...

Mid-Major Madness Podcast: Over-reacting to Northern Iowa, Western Kentucky, and Richmond

November 30, 2020 • 49 mins
There’s no better time to make reckless claims about the quality of college basketball teams than after precisely five (5) days. It’s science. Western Kentucky and Richmond are awesome. Northern Iowa stinks. Gonzaga is basically the ‘96 Bulls. Most importantly: Grant Golden remains our son. Sam and Russ were on again this week, while Hannah Butler made her podcast debut to help break it all down and more. Learn more about your ad c...

Mid-Major Madness Podcast: Examining how COVID-19 will dictate college sports in 2020-21

July 9, 2020 • 52 mins
It takes a lot to bring us out of our offseason bunkers, but a global pandemic sure did the job (after like 4 months). We've hit the point in the summer where it's time to start seriously looking at what sports will look like in the fall and winter. The Ivy League has announced it will not play until January at the earliest and Stanford has cut a bunch of athletic programs. It's not looking good! Russ and Cam talk about what needs ...
