The story of star wrestler Gable Steveson is very odd at Minnesota…right? Mar 25, 2025

Show notes

-Yesterday we mentioned that heavyweight wrestler Gable Steveson was upset in the national finals by Oklahoma State’s Wyatt Hendrickson---snapping a 70-match win streak

-The weirder thing is that Steveson last wrestled at Minnesota in 2022…and was allowed to come back this year due to a COVID rule giving another year….he’s 24 years old and an Olympic champion…why was he wrestling again in college to begin with?

What’s more likely to happen going forward….canceled Spring Games or scrimmages vs. another school? Mar 25, 2025

Show notes

-It’s been a long-time debate on the show with a familiar ending of it not being something worth the potential fallouts for whoever loses---but in a time where revenue means everything, maybe Deion Sanders’ idea will work

-Matt Rhule’s angle on the Spring Game has been mocked to a certain extent by other coaches….we’ll see if this is a one-year thing for the “Husker Games” or not

Is NIL truly the death of Cinderellas in the NCAA Tournament? Mar 25, 2025

Show notes

-As we pointed out yesterday, this is the first year since the Sweet 16 was named in 1975 that it’s only Power conferences represented---only the SEC, Big 12, B1G and ACC are alive still

-It’s also the first year since 2007 with no 11-seed or higher in the Sweet 16…is Cinderella dead or is this just a different year?

The B1G seems to have gotten better (on paper, at least) the last few days with 3 significant hires in men’s hoops Mar 25, 2025

Show notes

-We heard of Darian DeVries leaving West Virginia for Indiana last week, which wasn’t Earth-shattering news but still should be a decent hire…then we heard of 2 more hires yesterday

-The news of Ben McCollum heading to Iowa happened during our show, and a few hours later, Minnesota announced they’d be hiring Colorado State’s Niko Medved---if you’re keeping track at home, all 3 of these coaches were the 3 previous head coaches at Drake
