5/21 D-Fly & Dixie: Surging Scourge
May 21, 2021
Show notes
Maverik May Madness is in full swing, and D-Fly and Dixie are here to get you set for Quarterfinal Weekend. They’ll talk news of the week, preview the four monstrous games and share a conversation with Maryland head coach, John Tillman, as he prepares his undefeated Terrapins for a game against Notre Dame in South Bend. First the guys talk about how they enjoyed watching the first-round games, and Dixie manages to slide in a humble brag about his new set of wheels. Dixie gives a parting shot on the eight teams that exited after the first round, and Dan questions what went wrong on a promising Denver season that fell short of its goals. Next they talk about the Inside Lacrosse Media All-Americans and share some of their thoughts on the selections. D-Fly can’t help but bring up, again, the lack of love for the Big Ten this season. They jump into the game previews and there are two tremendous doubleheaders on tap beginning at noon each of Saturday and Sunday on ESPNU. Maryland head coach John Tillman was kind enough to spend a good deal of time with the guys, and they cover a wide-range of subjects. They discuss Maryland’s season through the COVID-lens, the unique history of wearing the No. 1 jersey in College Park, Jared Bernhardt’s greatness, and the repercussions of playing a B1G-only schedule. They also discuss the tremendous recent success of Maryland alumni in the pros, how the Maryland defense begins with baby-faced Logan McNaney and also the unsung stalwarts of the potent Terrapin Offense outside of the two stars, Jared Bernhardt and Logan Wisnauskas. In the usual closing question, we learn that restaurant managers Fear the Turtle as the Terps always 86 Italian restaurants, and we learn of a cool, under-the-radar team meal tradition that owes its roots to coaching legend, Richie Moran.

5/14 D-Fly & Dixie: May Madness
May 14, 2021
Show notes
Let's get it. D-Fly and Dixie help you get ready for the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. In addition to talking about the tournament field and seedings, they preview all eight games and bring in High Point head coach Jon Torpey to set the tone for the weekend. First, they look at the bracket and talk about the selection show. In particular, they discuss Loyola’s inclusion, seeding questions and the little respect shown to the B1G. The two also talk about the NCAA’s sideline limits and an unusual schedule of one game per venue per day. Despite these petty concerns, they’re both grateful for May lacrosse and excited for the games. Then they start breaking down the games. Prior to the Duke vs. High Point preview, they sit down with Torpey to talk about the Southern Conference champions. As always, they start with a look at pandemic perseverance at High Point. Fascinated with the Panthers social media accounts, Dix asks about the inspiration behind the entertaining content. As the conversation turns to the team, they all discuss the specialness of this particular senior class, how the season pivoted in the middle, the brilliance of Asher Nolting and the star contributions of Kevin Rogers and Brayden Mayea. In the final question, we learn that the Panthers are Maggiano stans even as Torpey stays true to his Baltimore roots as a Little Italy man.
