We’ve got the whole crew here today! Amtrak Ry, Tags, Nicky10Milli, Spin Doc, and MyDoggy, who is back from quarantine with a new name; you can call him Tatanka from now on. In this full house episode, we’re talking what everybody got up to during spring break before moving onto the NCAA and the Big Ten Conference. Tuning into this basketball heavy recap, you’ll hear us reflect on the Baylor Bear’s capturing their first national title, our opinions on the performance of the Michigan Wolverines, UCLA Bruins, and Gonzaga Bulldogs, as well as some incredible stats about our tourney favorite, Johnny Juzang! Then we’re not getting into politics. No, really, we’re not getting political! In fact, you’ll find out why we think politics and sport should stay separate and, finally, this week’s Making Hay, where we discuss feel good news from UFC, high school baseball, a record-breaking eight-for-eight, and how a forgotten copy of a Super Mario Bros. game fetched seven figures at auction. All this and more, including our weekly picks, so make sure not to miss this episode of Barnstormer Sports!
