Let's hope this is rock bottom for the season but that seems unlikely

Happy holidays #mubb and soon to be happy new year in 2026. We weren't planning to pod prior to this weeks games, wanting to take time off during Christmas and all, but well, the program had other thoughts. As I'm sure you are aware it was announced that Zaide Lowery is no longer with the team which while not good isn't entirely surprising. However, the way it was announced and then the program responded to a troll post has turned it into a whole thing. So we chat about that, then we talk the games this week. We close out the pod with a new and, we hope, fun segment for fans. Enjoy!

Festivus for the rest of #mubb

 The season has gotten dark so we're just gonna have fun from here on out. First we're gonna talk about the game results and any takeaways. Then we talk roster issues and challenges with current players but also a bright spot. Lastly, we are having an airing of grievances, starts angry but gets fun. Enjoy!

This was foretold

 Unfortunately, nothing surprising happened for #mubb this week. Only one game this week so we spend a lot of time breaking it and the overall non-conference experience down. We then turn to the last seaming change for a win for the squad in a while, Georgetown coming to town Wednesday. We also talk about Creighton and what we think the conference schedule means for #mubb. Enjoy!

Artax and The Swamp of Sadness

 It what has to be the most depressing #BadgerHateWeek result in the last 2+ decades of #mubb, we have a lot of unloading to do. We talk about the game result but also have a frank discussion about the teams performance to date, the reality of an uncompetitive Big East campaign, and challenges across the roster. Very challenging couple of months ahead for the program but we hope you still find the podcast entertaining. Enjoy!

We're all looking for who did this

 In some ways it was a new way to lose this season and in some ways it echoed previous #mubb loses but the Oklahoma loss was a tough one nonetheless. We have to chat through the results of that game but more than anything we are really using it as a context for evaluating where this season has gone wrong. We talk through expectations for the rest of the season, what we'd like to see the team do, and where changes can be made in season. We then preview Valpo and very half heartedly preview the Wisconsin game. Enjoy!
