    Who Wore It Best? 11-20

    Think of a number. Any number. What does it mean to you? Is it the age of your youngest child? Is it the number of pizza slices you ate one night at a frat party? Or, is it the number worn by your favorite athlete when he, or she, made their way into your personal Hall of Fame? In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani take a look at the numbers 11 through 20 and decide which athletes were the greatest of all time wearing each of those numbers.

    Who Will Be the Next Indiana?

    Last season, the Indiana Hoosiers won their first ever football National Championship, but what seems to many people as an overnight success, really took 2 seasons to build which in itself was no small accomplishment. The question is can it happen again? In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani discuss which teams out there have the potential to be the next Indiana and go from nothing to a Natty in 2 years. First, they'll discuss some rule changes that will most certainly affect which team will have next. #collegefootball #rules #Indiana #CFP For information about the podcast and links to further details on the issues we discuss, go to matterofsports.com and send us your feedback at matterofsports@gmail.com.

    Craig Way and the State of College Football

    If you have listened to a Texas Longhorn Sports radio broadcast in the last 30 years then you know this man's voice. Whether it's football, men's or women's basketball, or baseball he has been the "Voice of the Longhorns" longer than the current crop of athletes has been alive. He's seen wins, losses and championships and probably remembers every single one of them...as well as the mascots of every high school football team in Texas. Go ahead...quiz him. In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani talk to our friend Craig Way about his career in broadcasting, the state of college football today and where it might be going and his favorite concerts of the summer. #longhorns #collegefootball #highschoolfootball #uil #nil #Texas For information about the podcast and links to further details on the issues we discuss, go to matterofsports.com and send us your feedback at matterofsports@gmail.com.

    The Future of LeBron James (and a little World Cup)

    By now we have all heard the news...LeBron James will be a Philadelphia 76er next season. How did he decide to do that? Well that's a great question. In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani try to figure out which team LeBron will pick (we recorded before the announcement) and why he would pick that team (Hint...Jon was right). They also look at this decision in the bigger picture of the near and distant future of the NBA. Oh, and of course they had to wrap up the World Cup just a bit.

    The WNBA

    The last couple of years have been big for the WNBA. Big TV contracts, breakout stars, greater attendance, but does that mean the WNBA is a truly viable league that has a firm future, or could it be that some of the numbers just aren't there they way they need to be? In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani talk WNBA. The positives, the negatives and what can be done to make "save" the league and secure its future. Oh, and of course Jon gets to brag about his World Cup prediction...

    The World Cup

    It is, without question, the biggest sporting event in the world...that's probably why they call it the World Cup. Unlike the World Series of Baseball, this event is truly world wide and has almost the whole world tuning in to watch. This year, the games are being hosted by North America: Mexico, Canada and the United States, a place where soccer, or football as its known around the world, is not the premier sport. How is America taking to the games of the World Cup? Kent Koen and Jon Madani take a look at how its being received and try to answer a few questions about the game and figure out why its not the top sport in the US and if that might change.

    The NBA Finals

    Depending on who you are, this was the greatest NBA Finals in recent memory, which seems like most of the country and every celebrity out there...or if you are from San Antonio, then not so much. This could easily have been the Spurs year except for one thing: The Knicks, who just seemed to want it more, and the City of New York who really seemed to need it. In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani take a look at the 2026 NBA Finals, taking advantage of Jon's unique perspective as a courtside producer. They discuss what this means for both teams now and in the future and who might be there next year.
