  • The Pit of Despair
    Feb 5 2025

    Gonzaga blows yet another opportunity for a quad one win with a particularly excruciating loss in Moraga on Saturday. We're easy-going, happy-go-lucky sports fans so this pod isn't at all melancholy, depressing, or sad. Or is it?!

    Can Gonzaga still win the WCC regular season title? No. Can they still get a 5 or a 6 seed in the big dance? . . . maybe. Hope springs eternal, even from the pit of despair.

    Yvonne Ejim is poised to break all the records and the Gonzaga women remain on a hot streak with two more conference wins to remain in 1st place in the WCC.

    Let's hug it out, friends!

  • Into the Fires of Moragador
    Jan 31 2025

    Gonzaga gets a couple of blowout wins over the Beavers and Broncos and appear to be back on the right track. On Saturday the Gaels will attempt to derail them with deplorable basketball tactics and a snail's pace.

    We celebrate the wins, but want to see this team get a big win on the road in Moraga. The biggest key to that game? Limit offensive rebounds.

    Lots of swears in this one . . . sorry mom.

  • New York Blues
    Dec 18 2024

    Gonzaga traveled all the way to New York to go toe to tits with the UCONN Huskies and come away with their second L in a row. Lots to say about this one, but little to the good. We'll go over our frustrations with you. Come, be cleansed, and allow the Nichols Bucknells sacrifice wash over you.

    The ladies snap a 4 game skid and while they're at-large chances appear cooked, their hot shooting lately is a thing of beauty.
