  • Where Have My Bubs Gone
    May 8 2024

    We've successfully completed the #NoPodApril Challenge, where we forget to drop an episode for the entire month of April. Hand up, my bad. However, that means there's a lot to talk about. We've got some big news in Pitt Hoops to catch up on between Bub, new transfers, and what should be a new-look offense. We've got NFL draft news to cover (and Mason somehow thinking Hunter Renfrow is a Saint), we've got a spring game recap, and we've got football transfer news. Which led to bulletin board material. Let's Boogie.

  • Bid Thieves Have Stolen Our Joy
    Mar 19 2024

    The 2023-24 Pitt Hoops season has come to an end at the hands of the bid thieves. Come join the fellas as we lament the selection committee, tobacco road refs, upsets in the conference tournament, and Joe Lunardi. The ending wasn't what we wanted, but the outlook for Pitt Hoops hasn't been this bright since we were in the Big East.

  • The Rollercoaster of Pitt Hoops
    Feb 27 2024

    I Blacked Out At The Oakland Zoo And All I Got Was This T-Shirt

    It's the final push for March from the Panthers, we're talking about how they've bounced back from the Wake Forest loss and how important this game against Clemson has become. Recapping a huge two weeks in Pitt Sports: Cat Flood's back at the Fitz to run it back, Pitt Hoops has been a rollercoaster, Blake Hinson went nuclear (again), Zack Austin is a freak, the NCAA game is back, and Drake repped the Dinocat. Also, Madame Web was the worst movie we've ever seen and Kyle Filipowski is a crisis actor.
