The thefinalscorenetwork‘s PodcastThe Final Score Podcast - 2.23.26March is nigh and hoops is heating up. The NCAA Selection Committee unveiled it's top 16 seeds and a slew went and lost. This is why March is mad. Let's just hope they don't screw it up for real. But it wasn't just a great week of hoops, Team USA wins hockey gold for the first time since 1980 and goes full patriot in the process. The golf has been pure theater. It's a great time to be a sports fan. Not you NBA. Not you NFL. Yes you hockey and golf and kinda, sorta men's college hoops...
2026-02-2455 minThe thefinalscorenetwork‘s PodcastThe Final Score Podcast - 2.16.26Football may be finished but never fear, full time hoops is here. Except the NBA. HARD PASS.

2026-02-1754 minThe thefinalscorenetwork‘s PodcastThe Final Score Podcast - 2.9.26And with that, football season is finished. And boy was it a lame finish to the season. Except the K9 MVP, which is a just due after he got screwed for the Heisman... but we digress. Big Ten hoops is heating up. The two best teams in hockey went toe to toe with the Spartans snagging 4 of 6 weekend points. Golf is already getting good too. And March is just around the corner!
2026-02-1055 minThe thefinalscorenetwork‘s PodcastThe Final Score Podcast - 2.2.26It's Groundhog's Day, and like the movie it feels like we're stuck in a repeating time capsule filled with incessant nonsense from our friends down the street. We get plenty into a great college basketball game but not before a double podium calling a spade a spade. We talk some Big Game, who's got "it" in the Big Ten this year, a little golf, a little MSU hockey, and more...
2026-02-031h 01The thefinalscorenetwork‘s PodcastThe Final Score Podcast - 1.26.26And then there were two. Is this Super Bowl exciting to you or nah? College hoops is heating up and has plenty more ridiculousness OFF the court to fire us up. Golf is back and so is Scottie. Man is a machine. Detroit sports teams are rolling, the Spartans are rolling, we just need to get the weather to behave...
2026-01-271h 02The thefinalscorenetwork‘s PodcastThe Final Score Podcast - 1.21.26We've crowned the most incredible national champion in NCAA football history. We're down to four in the NFL.

I'd say there is plenty to cover this week in the TFS pod...
2026-01-221h 04The thefinalscorenetwork‘s PodcastThe Final Score Podcast - 1.12.26Football is on fire right now... the CFP is down to the finals and perhaps the greatest season (and already turnaround) in college football history.

That's a lot of to and too! The Lions season officially went bust. Michigan State forgot how to play defense for 30 minutes but closes out 2025 in good shape.

We've got a last golf review of the season before that topic gets shelved.
