Buckle up boys and girls! Time for a brand new episode of the Wildly Underqualified, Yet Mildly Entertaining Sports Podcast for Wichita & Beyond - Keeper of the Games!! Tommy Castor is joined this week by the one and only Blake Cripps, voice of the Newman University Jets! Also, Weston Mills is back on the program this week as he awaits the birth of his brand new daughter!! It's a jam packed show, so let's get right into it.
(02:51): We start the show with probably the most controversial and troubling story that we've ever discussed on this podcast and that is the situation surrounding Gregg Marshall at Wichita State University. Tommy, Weston and Blake try to unpack and tackle the disturbing allegations of physical and verbal abuse by the Shockers head coach against players, other coaches and community members. WSU is in the middle of an internal investigation. The guys debate what's going on, what the outcome may be and who else, outside of the coach himself is to blame for this whole situation. Easily our longest one topic discussion on this show, it may be polarizing but it's important.
(50:43): Weston, Blake and Tommy recap the 40-32 loss on Sunday for Kansas City against the Las Vegas Raiders. Tommy called it a trap game the week before and was it ever for KC. The guys discuss how Patrick Mahomes can't always look superhuman, plus lapses on defense contributed to the loss. The guys look ahead to the next Monday afternoon matchup against the Buffalo Bills and recap some injury news for KC.
(1:12:39): Another big win on Saturday on the road for the Kansas State Wildcats as they defeat TCU 21-14 to move to 3-1 on the season and 3-0 in the Big 12. Tommy thinks the Wildcats are for real as they lead the Big 12 standings, Weston and Blake are still not so sure. The guys debate that and also K-State's effectiveness without Skylar Thompson who is out for the season.
(1:23:15): If things couldn't get worse for KU football, Les Miles tested positive for COVID-19, but still plans to coach Kansas on Saturday against West Virginia. Also, Brent Dearmon says Miles Kendrick will start at QB for the Jayhawks, however Thomas Macvittie will be available, so more QB carousel news for KU.
(1:27:45): A quick KU basketball update as the Border War with Missouri, scheduled to start this season has been cancelled for this year and will actually start next season, due to COVID-19.
(1:29:22): Our #WichitaWhiparound's is another prep football update around the Wichita metro from this past week and a look ahead to the prep action this weekend.
