In the fifth episode of Around The Waves on KCOU 88.1 FM, Luca Vitale and Ryan Waelterman welcome Boca Raton, Florida native and KCOU host of Start Your Saturday's Harrison Vapnek. Harrison predicts a blow out loss between the LSU Tigers and Mizzou Tigers with a score of 45-10 LSU. Ryan predicts a closer score due to Connor Bazalek's performance last Saturday. Harrison then debates Luca on the firing of Houston Texans GM/coach Bill O'Brien. Luca mentions that O'Brien should've never been hired as the GM as the team was already heading in the right direction. For their second guest Ryan and Luca welcome back Nick Winkelman from Plaino IL. With the Cleveland Browns hot start, Luca credits coach Kevin Stefanski for utilizing Odell Beckham Jr. and Baker Mayfield appropriately. Ryan believes the Browns have potential of the second seed in the division but Luca and Nick shut that claim fast. Furthermore, all three members debate on what the Chicago Cubs should do next after an early exit in the wild card. All three suggest the core needs to be broken up and players that the Cubs should sign via free agency. Luca wants former Cub DJ LeMahieu to sign while Nick and Luca agree with Trevor Bauer signing. Last topic of the day, Nick and Luca discuss Thursday Night Football between the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both believe the Bears can come on top if they display their strong defense and score a decent amount of points. Next week we'll invite our next guest Ethan Polak on the show and potentially tennis coach Chris Wootton for an interview, so stay tuned!
