Hate the Player Not the Game

This week on Oct. 15, 2021, I talk about the college football landscape and how things have changed this year. I move on to a very sad edition of MLB talk before diving in to this week's episode of Survivor 41.

This week I go through college football action, the MLB playoffs, and Survivor 41 Episode 3

This week, I go through both college football recaps and previews, of which my opinions and foresight was hilariously wrong, then it is time for Stealing Signs with the last week of MLB Regular Season games and the protagonists of baseball, the Seattle Mariners. I finish things off with Math With Sticks, talking about episode 2 of the creatively named Survivor 41.

This week I look in depth at Ohio State's loss to Oregon, USC's coaching search after Clay Helton got fired, the Oakland A's struggling, football previews, and what the MLB playoffs look like now.

This week I look at the current college football landscape, why the NL West is so much fun, why the Padres have a tough road ahead, and the Ben Simmons problem in Philly.

Welcome back to Hate the Player Not the Game! This week I look hard at why Scott Frost at Nebraska is the way he is, the Big 12 expanding to add UCF, BYU, Cincinnati, and Houston, College Football Week 1, and Major League Baseball. Other topics include the Gus Malzahn Bus getting going at UCF, the huge series between the Giants and Dodgers, and my upset picks for Week 1.

This week I start by discussing why I hate Draft Day, why I love the NFL Draft, then get into Stealing Signs-MLB talk, before finishing up by looking in the general direction of the NBA

This week I take a brief look at Patrick Marleau breaking Gordie Howe's all time games played record, the Ben Askren-Jake Paul fight, Mizzou returning to the Big 12 for Wrestling, MLB The Show 21, and finally delve into the NBA and MLB.

This week I take a long look at how and why the transfer portal appears so filled this year, before diving into MLB and NBA talk as usual.

This week I take a long look at what March Madness was like this year, before diving into talking about the NBA and MLB.

This episode I run through my March Madness bracket and why I picked those teams. Obviously the Wichita St. pick was wrong, pick USC there.

Note: Baseball section struck out due to technical issues. This week I look at what happened to Duke basketball and the rest of the conference tournaments, then look in the general direction of the NBA All Star Game and round things out with a well meaning message of warning for Chicago Bears fans

This week I go further in depth on the entirety of Mizzou sports and why Mizzou fans should be excited about Mizzou Softball, steal some signs with MLB spring training, and continue my complaints about the eastern conference.

This week in an abridged form of the show, I look at why Kevin Mather got fired by the Seattle Mariners and look at how the NBA playoff picture is finally starting to calm down.

This week I go in depth on why I think Gus Malzahn to UCF is a good move alongside one of my most awkward transitions to date, as well as the usual suspects of college football, Stealing Signs, and Looking in the General Direction of the NBA

This week I talk about the Nolan Arenado trade and why the Colorado Rockies are so poorly run, in addition to the usual suspects.

This week I do the usual talk about college football and the NBA, but at the end talk about Drew Robinson's and Andrelton Simmons' battles with mental health and how they made an impact on me.

This week I go in depth on what happened at Tennessee during their coaching search, look in the general direction of the NBA, remember Hank Aaron, and look at the Hall of Fame discourse.

This week I look at the end of the college football season and the start of both the NBA and NHL

This week is pretty much just me saying 'I told you so' about Miami football, but brief talks about college football over the last week and conference championship weekend, with some discussion about the Negro Leagues finally being in the MLB Record Books and NBA Preseason

This week, over the loudness of working from home, I talk about the college football landscape over the last few weeks and how ridiculous it is that Iowa State is ranked where they are.

This week I come to you from the 'my house' studios with an abridged episode detailing college football this week.

Returning from the depths of finally finding where I put this podcast, it is time for some very old news talk. I look at the downfall of Texas football and other madness in this very irrelevant show that I am posting from the shallows of the St Louis Airport

NBA Draft, Indiana, Cincy, OH MY

This week I talk about college football last week and this week, highlight my hometown San Jose St Spartans yet again, look at MLB Free Agency, and complain about Chris Paul leaving the Thunder.

This week the alternate dimension versions of Lucas and Joe take over the show to talk about all things political, from the Presidential race to 270, to Senate elections from Montana to Arizona to Georgia, to some interesting Fox News exit polls. Yours truly, Mark the Moderate.

This week I bring up how different Mizzou football is this year compared to last, look at San Jose State, recap the last week in college football and preview this week. Then I discuss Mizzou Volleyball and the potential loss of Tyanna Omazic, and finally complain about Justin Turner

This week I take a look at the crazy week 2 in college football, including three wins by Sun Belt teams over teams in the Big 12, preview the American Athletic Conference in week 3, take a deep dive into how the MLB playoff picture is shaping up, and briefly talk about the disappointment of the Clippers.

This episode I talk an issue close to home, college football week 2, MLB, and NBA playoffs

Join me as I take you through the Nets' hiring of Steve Nash as head coach, the MLB Trade deadline, week 1 of the college football season, and the NBA playoffs. Sorry about the weird audio, I was dealing with an audio bug and this is the best I could reasonably manage.

In this special Sports Saturday edition of the show I look at the upcoming MLB Trade Deadline and give my thoughts on the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman.

Welcome back to another season of Hate the Player, Not the Game. To start off this year, I talk about accountability as related to the Coronavirus, social justice and sports, the MLB trade deadline and current state of the standings, and the NBA. Make sure to follow me on Twitter at @LucasAOwens for podcast updates and other stupid content, I guess.
