Join us as we break down the highs (and lows) of this week's tournament insanity, mock schools that are on the coaching carousel (couldn't be us), and discuss ongoing NCAA shenaniganizers.

Sour Grapes 2.18: BUBBLE GAMES....BUBBLE, BUBBLE, BUBBLE GAMES

Sweet Sixteen bound with lots of time to play wholesome bubble games and ruminate on JOY.

Sour Grapes 2.17: ONE SLEEP TIL MADNESS

This is one of those fun episodes that Amy didn't listen to while editing, so WHO KNOWS what pops up in this extended cut of Sour Grapes with Amy & Etta. It's an adventure!    Possible topics:    -Bracketology -Scott Drew, newest IU Head Coach (nope) -Baylor WBB CHAMPS -Anxiety -Best (unless you're on the receiving end) 1st round upsets in recent history!   

Sour Grapes 2.16: RELEASE THE HOODIE

For the first time EVER, the Baylor Bears are Big 12 Champs! Amy & Etta discuss the win against WVU, the fact that both Baylor Basketball teams are CHAMPIONS, and reflect on what this means in the context of Baylor Basketball history.    Also discussed:  The Magical Hoodie of Hope Scott Drew is the inspiration for Ted Lasso The "stick to sports" crowd MASK-WEARING March Sports Anxiety  Why rape jokes are STILL not okay (and never will be) 

Sour Grapes 2.15: Another carousel spins to an end.

New coaches. Weird firings. And, as ever, we are thankful for the distraction of sports while democracy dies! 

Sour Grapes 2.14: "Ain't no one in this room alone."

Weekend in review? A bunch of sad.    Baylor Basketball has paused program activities due to COVID. The Baylor Football team's season ended in a less-than-illustrious manner. Charlie Brewer is transferring. A recent Baylor football player has died. Contention abounds! 

Sour Grapes 2.13: It's the hope that kills ya.

The past week in Baylor sports fandom had a lot of potential, and then everything fell apart! After an invigorating win against KSU, the Baylor football offense once again sputtered! The BIG basketball match-up with Gonzaga was called off at the last possible second! And the Lady Bears dropped a game against Arkansas! Not great, Bob! 

Sour Grapes 2.12: Ok, cool. Sic 'Em.

It was an eventful week in Baylor sports! After a COVID rollercoaster, Baylor MBB emerged 2-0 from Vegas. The Baylor WBB team dismantled Central Arkansas. And! Baylor Football won a game and, apparently, now owns the state of Kansas. We think that's how it works!

Sour Grapes 2.11: Gobble 'Til You Wobble?

Baylor Football did not lose a game this week! It's Thanksgiving week, so this episode is a free-for-all wheels-off one (unlike all others, wink wink!). We answer listener questions, we rant about Dabo, and we drink wine! Cheers! 

Sour Grapes 2.10: Barely 2 Effs to Rub Together

Join Amy & Etta on another literary adventure with some football talk mixed in! Baylor lost another game on Saturday BUT we are definitely going to get a win this weekend against BYE. Also featured in this episode: Jimbo's athleisure wear, Will Muschamps is fired from South Carolina(?), and the insanity of Baylor "fans" sending death threats to Charlie Brewer (or anyone!). 

Sour Grapes 2.9: Thick Meat and Quixotic Journeys

Another weekend of Baylor football is in the books, and things are still not great! This podcast, as with life, is about the journey and not the destination, though. Join Amy and Etta as they process Baylor's outing in Ames, discuss the Charlie Brewer issue, and imagine a world in which the Big 12 coaches are engaging in a conspiracy to save Tom Herman's job.    Other highlights:  Quixotic is a stupid word.  How foolish was Amy's decision to go to a theme park in a pandemic? Are Gary Pa...

Sour Grapes 2.8: A Vibe Check

Join Amy & Etta as they process a range of emotions following a rough week for Baylor Football. It's 2020, and everything is still meaningless! Are we okay? Who knows! 

Sour Grapes 2.7: Things Fall Apart

Amy & Etta discuss Baylor's ill-fated Austin trip and speculate about all the things! Will Trestan Ebner and John Lovett play again this season? Or ever again in green and gold? WHO KNOWS! Also, what's the deal with Baylor's offense ? Things aren't great, but, of course, it's 2020 and everything is made up and meaningless! 

Sour Grapes 2.6: Hex Tex?

It's game week (allegedly)! Amy & Etta discuss a lackluster weekend of college football, anticipate (with a little bit of dread) Baylor's upcoming game against Texas, and go completely off the rails, as usual.    Highlights:  -PELOTON CULT TALK  -Book talk with Amy & Etta -Amy says "accolades" when she meant to say "acolytes"  -Is the Mike Leach SEC experiment a failed one? -Amy & Etta discuss their divergent views on football trash talk -HEX TEX As always, follow us on Twitter (@am...

Sour Grapes 2.5: The Purge of the Malcontents

Join us for another week of pandemic football! This episode is ... a journey, and that's all that can really be said. Highlights include (but are not limited to): Ted Lasso shaming, how Lane Kiffin got his nickname, CJK5H, and (inexplicably) Fake Dan Beebe. Enjoy! 

Sour Grapes 2.4: This is allegedly a sports podcast

In the fourth episode of 2020, Amy & Etta do a deep dive on some of #BaylorTwitter's favorite conspiracy theories, recap another weekend of Big 12 Football, and spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out the difference between a sickle and a scythe.  Some highlights: -That one time we agreed with Gary Patterson -Beefy Fred Armisen  -Etta is a not-so-secret Bo Pellini Stan  -Tom Herman definitely drinks chardonnay  -How to wash your Homefield Apparel gear  JOIN THE BAYLOR ...

Sour Grapes 2.3: It's our podcast, and we can say what we want!

Baylor football finally happened! Amy and Etta discuss the opening weekend of Big 12 football and revel in certain conference rivals' failure. Did you know that Kevin Sumlin's son is a walk-on at OU? NEITHER DID WE. Also, Baylor Football got its first win of the Dave Aranda era, and Trestan Ebner will make you regret kicking the ball to him. We make non-evidence-based predictions about the upcoming weekend's slate of games, go off the rails at several points, and discuss a potential theme so...

Sour Grapes 2.2: Rankings are MADE UP and STUPID

In a week where many things happened and also nothing happened, Amy & Etta devote their mental energy to the important things: Pandemic Things, The Saga of Tathan Martell, bewildering college football rankings, and the (alleged) start of conference football. Of note in this episode:  -We desperately need a theme song.  -Amy butchers her Tiger King opener. -Etta does a cuss -Fiddler on the Roof references. -A Brief discussion of Gary Patterson, Famous Musician.  -PLEASE SUBSCRIBE and R...

Sour Grapes 2.1: Now with more pandemic!

Kicking off a whole new season of Sour Grapes, and in the midst of a global pandemic no less. This episode has EVERYTHING : Deleted Jerry Harris comments, trashy TV talk with a decidedly Baylor bent, Amy forgetting the name of that one Louisiana team that embarrassed the Cyclones, wine, our tributes to Butterfly FX, and Holgo jokes! Much like the year 2020, this episode is rough, BUT WE DID IT.
