    National Championship Recap + Coaching Carousel on Steroids

    National Championship Recap + Coaching Carousel on Steroids

    A full recap from Monday night's natty in Phoenix with the guy who was courtside sitting next to Ian Eagle. Our man Matt Norlander checks in after a solid night's sleep to talk all things UConn and Purdue after the Huskies go back-to-back and win their 6th national title in the last 25 years. A dynasty according to one - but not both - of our hosts. There's still a coaching vacancy in Lexington, and Hartzell has a name that nobody has thrown out anywhere in the national media. An epic Now Spinning segment and Masters picks to close the show. Do you know where Robbie Avila is going to go in the portal? Norlander does.

    South Carolina achieves immortality. On the season's final Gauer Hour presented by the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce recap Final Four weekend in Cleveland, culminating in the Gamecocks' third national championship and its first undefeated season. They talk about the game itself, the legacies of this USC team, Dawn Staley and, on the other side, Iowa and Caitlin Clark. They also run through the post mortems for the other Final Four participants, NC State and UConn, before delving into the coaching carousel and the portal. Then after they recorded the episode Tara VanDerveer announced her retirement from Stanford, so the show wraps up with Rob talking about her Hall of Fame career as a pioneer of the sport.

    Purdue vs UConn it's actually happening

    A Sunday show - the rarest of birds - to get you ready for the natty on Monday and folks, we're getting a helluva game tomorrow night. UConn and Purdue will hook up for the whole enchilada, and we're talking about it with Matt Norlander from CBS Sports who is on the ground in Glendale (or is it Phoenix?). Saturday night recap plus a look ahead to what's coming at 9:20 PM ET on Monday night. A proper preview, plus some picks and predictions from the guys. And while we're talking hoops - is Arkansas going to name a head coach today?

The Only National CFB Podcast that Mentions GT every week

I was initially hooked with Roddy on the schedule and remembering Hartzell from every GT halftime and postgame show on Leerfield, but have come to enjoy Stephen’s take on everything. I enjoy Hand in the Dirt, but I find Stephen to be the most relatable and enjoyable dude. He is great and the man for CSN.
