Men's Basketball vs Howard and Saint Louis Starts at 0:51 This is part one of a part two podcast! Which Robbie Avila nickname was your favorite? Of the last ten times Michigan has made the tournament they've been in the Sweet Sixteen nine. Were Beilein teams built better for the tournament than for the Big Ten? Howard shot 48% from three, the only reason they were able to get to 80 points. What Wisconsin nonsense is this? Michigan shoots 84% from two, one of those misses was from Oscar Goodman. Roddy Gayle was uninspiring in the Big Ten Tournament but returned to his March form. Moving on to Saint Louis, they're a dangerous offensive team but there was no way they were going to be able to check Michigan. Somehow Saint Louis was the #1 field goal efficiency defense in the country, it's a good sign that Michigan shot 1.35 PPP. Avila fell for Mara's fake pass. Since they started counting blocks Michigan is the first team to have all starters score 10+ points and have a block. The Mara we're seeing now is night and day from what we saw at the beginning of the season. Could you convince him to come back another year? What was up with that non-flagrant foul that ended up being a foul on Burnett? Technically it was a cylinder foul. High Point isn't a real school, you should only schedule real schools.  [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Spring Football Bits Starts at 34:37 There are finally enough bits coming out of the spring! Ron Bellamy is back as director of player personnel, which makes all the sense in the world. Apparently Whittingham wanted to come back to Utah but he wouldn't have as much control over decision making so he left. What exactly happened here? We thought he was retiring but clearly he didn't. Manuel Beigel moved to offensive line, this is concerning because there are plenty of offensive lineman and this team needs defensive tackles. In more positive news, Savion Hiter is already running with the ones. His built is like Jabrill Peppers. The defense will "resemble the 2023 defense" in terms of style, according to Jay Hill. It will depend what they can get out of Zeke Berry and Rod Moore. Injured guys are still injured. Receiver depth is Marsh, Ffrench, Moa, and Buchanon. Defensive tackle tea leaves are... uhhh... concerning? You need four decent defensive tackles, they currently have three and there's no guarantee that any of them are good. Maybe that's why Hiter is getting so many yards in practice. The NDSU linebacker captain needs to simmer for a bit, he just got here. If one of the best offensive line coaches in the country is excited then we're excited. If Babalola actually starts he'll be an All-American. Sounds like they're kicking Link inside?  3. Hot Takes and Hockey Tournament Starts at 1:02:51 Takes hotter than Howard for the last 10 minutes of the first half. Michigan gets the #1 overall seed in hockey, their reward is a game against Bentley in Albany. They also won the Big Ten Tournament after a 7-3 win over Ohio State. They get medals but not stoats. Playing a team with tournament lives on the line was really good practice. They were so excited to win a banner. Did you know Gonzaga used to have a hockey team. Bentley is 23rd in NPI which is better than their conference usually does. Doesn't look like a team that will threaten Michigan but anything crazy can happen in this tournament. The matchup is there against Penn State but the vibes are annoying since Michigan has already played them five times (and lost once). Will the building have 12 people in it? Minnesota-Duluth had a really good nonconference run but fell off towards the end of the season. They swept Minnesota which doesn't mean much this year. Congratulations Western Michigan, you are a #1 seed and you probably get to play Denver at altitude if you win your first game. The committee doesn't want schools to have home games but then they either give schools "home" games or play in empty rinks. This game should be at Yost and it would be nuts, Michigan deserves the home advantage that they earned. If Wisconsin gets goaltending they're a top four team, if not they'll lose in the first round.  MUSIC: "Hard Dreaming Man"—Drugdealer "Honey Drip"—Long Island Railroad, Smushie and Ryan Gebhard “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra

March 18, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 108 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike McCarthy making his first pro day appearance of 2026 at Georgia. We discuss several of the top Georgia draft prospects in this early portion of the podcast. The Penn State pro day, like Georgia's, is also taking place on Wednesday so Alex and I discuss the top draft 2026 draft picks from that college. Washington WR Denzel Boston had his pro day a few days ago and now he reportedly will be coming to Pittsburgh soon for a pre-draft visit with the Steelers. Alex and I discuss what that means in addition to our early thoughts on his college play. The Steelers also recently brought in Miami QB Carson Beck and San Diego State CB Chris Johnson in for pre-draft visits this week, so we go over the significance of that news and our views on both players. Might the Steelers consider selecting Kentucky WR Kendrick Law in the later rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft as the second of two wide receivers chosen? Alex and I address his recent pre-draft visit with the Steelers as part of attempting to answer that question. Alex and I also address a few recent pro day sightings related to the Steelers during this show. The contract details related to new Steelers WR Michael Pittman Jr. have finally surfaced so Alex and I go over everything related to that three-year deal. We also discuss the finer details related to the new contracts signed by RB Rico Dowdle, S Jaquan Brisker, and DL Sebastian Joseph-Day. Throughout this Wednesday podcast, Alex and I discuss a few things related to the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft as it relates to prospects the Steelers might have interest in. We also discuss some recently awarded 2025 performance-based pay totals of Steelers players. With Brisker and Joseph-Day both recently holding their introductory press conferences, Alex and I go over what stood out from those. This 85-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the above recap and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Just when you thought it was over…BAM! More snow. Ugh. I know it wasn't much during the overnight…but seriously. Can it just be Saturday already with a high of 70° in the forecast? Did you see the meteor that rocketed across the sky in Ohio yesterday? Impressive stuff. Also in the news this morning, a wild story about Pokémon Go, Kid Rock responds to the joke about him during the Oscars, and a former Baywatch star gets arrested in Wisconsin! In sports, the Bucks lost to the Cavs last night and Giannis is injured again, the results of yesterday's "First Four" games in the men's NCAA tourney and a look at today's games, Team USA lost the championship game of the World Baseball Classic to Venezuela last night, the Badger women's hockey team is getting ready for their game against Penn State on Saturday, and the Badger men's basketball team plays tomorrow against High Point. We talked about what's no TV today/tonight including the new episode of Survivor featuring Zac Brown! A list of signs that your co-worker has no clue what they are doing, and a look at how often Americans are having sex and how long does it last on average. Elsewhere in sports, the Dolphins trade Jaylen Waddle to the Broncos, an update on Aden Holloway, the Brewers announced that they'll be showing ten of their games on over-the-air stations this season, and if you're going to the season opener next Thursday…the Brew Crew is going to show a sneak peek at the upcoming Bob Uecker documentary. Nice story out of Canada about firefighters rescuing a golden retriever who fell through the ice on a frozen pond, and a woman in Georgia living with cerebral palsy just got a bunch of help from people on the internet so she could attend a special needs prom. We also played our interview with Patrick Stone of Hairball!! They'll be at the Onalaska Omni Center on Saturday night. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a patient that refuses to leave a #Florida hospital, first cousins getting married in #Florida, a guy who tried to use fake money to pay is bail, and a dude who drove from Arizona to Alaska to try & kill his ex-wife.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1 Hour and 45 Minutes With David Nasternak and Alex Drain This Podcast Has a Sponsor: Michigan Law Grad Jonathan Paul is the guy with the C you want skating next to the ref and pleading your case. He's also a good guy to sit next to at the hockey games. Segment 1 How often do you get a haircut? Catching up on the World Baseball Classic, U.S. and Dominican Republic go down to the wire. Did the tournament structure itself for a U.S. vs Japan final? Anyways, Michigan dominated Notre Dame 6-1 in the Big Ten quarterfinals. A Notre Dame player runs into Ivankovic again, leading to a fight and a game misconduct. Credit Michigan for standing up for their goalie. Overall this game wasn't really close.   Segment 2 Michigan beats Penn State 5-2 to make it to the Big Ten championship game. Penn State was aggressive early but Michigan settled in. Michigan had a lot of penalties but the power play held strong, but eventually they had a lengthy 5-on-3 that gave a 4-2 lead. T.J. Hughes sealed the game after Michigan's goaltender almost scored an empty netter on himself. That goal might've been Hughes' last goal at Yost, many of the seniors stuck around on the ice late. Time to wrap up the season of our old friends. WMU will get a 1-seed but lost to Denver in their conference final. Still some conference tournament games left, let's talk NCAA tournament scenarios.   MUSIC NHL on ESPN Theme "Spark" -- Fitz and the Tantrums Ice Hockey (NES) theme

The Tourney Draw, Midwest Region Preview Starts at 0:51 Overall a fine draw for the 3rd one-seed, with several teams that did not want Michigan as their one-seed. Alabama as a four-seed is a fine draw. They have some big wins because they can shoot their way to a W in any game, but they're also a tempo team that gave up 40%+ ORebs to the three teams they faced with major bigs. The 5-seed is Texas Tech which lost star center JT Toppin but shot their way to a win over ISU without him. We think they're a good upset pick in a 5-12 with Akron but we are impressed with the Just-a-Shooterness of Donovan Atwell. The 8-9 are Georgia and Saint Louis. We want Georgia, another tempo team that's a year away from its maximum and has a center who just makes buckets and blocks shots, versus Saint Louis which is where Robbie Avila went; they're five-out, #1 in the country in average 2PT distance, but opponents also get to the rim (Avila is no defender). On the other side is 2-seed Iowa State, which doesn't block shots but they turn you over and sniper Milan Momcilovic can shoot over guards—a team with three bigs might be their kryptonite (see: 79-70 vs Cincy). Joshua Jefferson is a Danny Wolf (28 assist, 17 TO) PF. 3-seed Virginia has a couple of ogres they rotate at center that might prove tough, and their own Yax-like in Thijs De Ridder, who's not from New Jersey. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Hot Takes and Men's Basketball vs Purdue Starts at 33:39 Takes hotter than Brian when they refused to call a 5th foul on Oscar Cluff the fifth time. You're not insane; it was a ref show, and a clownish end to DJ Carstensen's career. But that only explains why Purdue won—they played Michigan evenly because Michigan had their worst defensive performance, unable to stop the PnR two-man game between Smith and TKR. M's offense is off the hook for the 1st half since Purdue was just fouling and getting away with it, but what's their excuse for not having any plans for a stretch in the 2nd half when Purdue pulled ahead? Hoping against hope that May has been saving all of his real sets for the Tournament. Brian's giving up on Gayle and his Knoblockian adventures at the rim. 3. Men's Basketball vs Wisconsin and Ohio State Starts at 1:01:40 Wisconsin goes 7/23 from two but 16/38 from three once they've given up on Boyd and Blackwell drives that worked for them in the first meeting. Their twos were earned—pushed back and forced to shoot over Mara. Only the Aussie going nuts from three got this competitive again, but we were still dismayed over Michigan's offense. They had a Mara advantage they only ran in the 2nd half, and didn't really give him help off of that. Tschetter minutes are not working. The OSU game was annoying for all the little reasons, but the big one is something from the whole Tourney, which was Morez Johnson not playing up to his standard. He got the first two series and second was a fallaway jumper. He's a bit limited when backing up people have found. Bruce Thornton was limited by length but his eyes lit up whenever he got Cadeau, who seemed to be tiring late, but Michigan is a TO machine without him. Maybe they're saving Yax usage for the Dance. 4. Hockey vs Penn State and Tournament Lookahead Starts at 1:22:35 They're now locked into the 1st overall seed with Ohio State knocking MSU out of the tournament, and North Dakota losing, which means YAY we don't have to play Denver in a Denver Regional (stupidest playoff format ever). Michigan-NoDak-MSU-WMU will be the 1-seeds, in that order, and Michigan will draw the worst the #16, IE the Atlantic Hockey champion (Bentley most likely?) and the worst #2 seed (Duluth? Cornell? Penn State?) in, likely, Albany. Penn State hockey is James Franklin Penn State football: can beat anybody except the big bads in their conference. Not afraid of facing them again after a thoroughly dominant semifinal. Good to see a snipe from Hage, and what Moldenauer has become.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down the Cleveland Browns' roster needs heading into the NFL draft and whether the team will target an offensive lineman at pick six. They also examine Drew Allar's legacy at Penn State and project how many games the Browns can win following their recent free agency moves.

At essentially the midpoint of the season, IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello hop on to discuss Maryland's triple-OT win over Virginia, North Carolina's win over Penn State (including whether the webstream's commentator Booker Corrigan had a hand in video replay review), Yale's impressive showing in a loss to Princeton, a rock fight in South Bend and more.For intermission (and in honor the Oscars), they take a quick look at how the Tewaaraton race is shaping up.

What do FanDuel's newly released over-under totals say about the Indiana Hoosiers in 2026?In this episode of CrimsonCast, Galen Clavio breaks down Indiana football's projected win total, how it compares to the rest of the Big Ten, and what the national title odds suggest about the Hoosiers' place in the college football landscape. From Indiana's favorable schedule to the respect Curt Cignetti's program is getting from oddsmakers, this is an early look at how Vegas views IU heading into the new season. Galen also examines where teams like Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Miami, Texas, and others stack up in the betting market — and what those numbers reveal about conference strength, public perception, and playoff expectations.

Penn State football enters a new recruiting era as Matt Campbell seeks to expand the Nittany Lions' footprint beyond traditional boundaries. Can Campbell achieve what James Franklin never did—winning elite battles nationwide for top talent? Recruiting expert Brian Smith and Zach Seyko highlight Penn State's push for elite quarterbacks Will Mencl and Peter Bourque, amid stiff competition from Oregon, Auburn, and Miami. The conversation spotlights Penn State's evolving recruiting strategy, Midwest and New Jersey pipelines, and the ongoing debate: should powerhouse programs prioritize high school prospects or proven transfer portal quarterbacks? With spring practice set to trigger a wave of commitments, listeners gain insider perspectives on NIL impacts, quarterback battles, and the next moves for Campbell's staff.

Pennsylvania parents and families who have lost loved ones to drug overdoses and addiction say there’s a need for grief support services specifically tailored to this kind of loss. They’re calling on county and state agencies to use settlement money won in national lawsuits against opioid manufacturing companies to fund grief programs. Penn State’s president was the target of pointed questions during a state House appropriations hearing Wednesday. It comes as the university moves forward with plans to close seven campuses including York and Mont Alto. A U.S. Secret Service police officer is charged with sending sexually explicit text messages, photos and videos to a Lancaster County girl, according to police. Cleanup continues following a massive fire at a York County salvage company, two weeks ago.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steelers reporter Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick, a Pitt grad, said he is ‘beat down' by the news of Jeff Capel coming back to the basketball program next season. Nick doesn't think another ‘big' free agent will be signed by the Steelers after the Jaquan Brisker acquisition, but some smaller moves will be made. Nick said the expectation is for Aaron Rodgers to come back, but you just never know. Nick pointed out that Patrick Queen got paid by the Steelers today, the third day of the league year, so a trade for him is very unlikely.

Dr. Nichols opens by outlining her background in protein nutrition research spanning Canada, the Netherlands, industry R&D, and now academia at UC Davis. Her research has focused on mammary amino acid metabolism, nitrogen efficiency, and the interaction between protein and energy supply in dairy cattle. (1:00–4:05) Dr. Räisänen shares her path from Penn State to Finland, Switzerland, and now Aarhus University, where she is leading research within a large, multidisciplinary project focused on lifetime nitrogen efficiency in dairy systems. Her current work examines early lactation protein supply and rumen nitrogen balance. (7:32–10:07) The discussion begins by establishing why protein nutrition plays a central role in sustainability. Ruminants are net protein producers, converting low-value feeds into high-quality milk and meat protein. However, inefficiencies in nitrogen utilization lead to urinary nitrogen excretion, contributing to ammonia emissions, nitrous oxide production, and nitrate leaching. Improving nitrogen efficiency, therefore, directly impacts environmental outcomes. (12:28–14:17) The group discusses geographic differences in nitrogen regulation. European countries like the Netherlands and Denmark face intense scrutiny due to high livestock density on limited land. Similar regional challenges are emerging in concentrated U.S. dairy regions such as California's Central Valley and parts of the Midwest. (15:17–18:19) Dr. Nichols introduces the concept of metabolic flexibility—the ability of ruminants, and especially the mammary gland, to utilize different nutrients and metabolic pathways depending on supply. This flexibility helps explain why responses to protein supplementation are not always black and white, and why traditional limiting amino acid theory does not consistently predict milk protein responses. (24:58–26:23) The conversation explores early lactation “protein boost” strategies inspired by post-ruminal amino acid infusion studies. Dr. Räisänen describes ongoing work using targeted concentrate supplementation to mimic infusion responses. Preliminary data suggest substantial early lactation milk yield responses, similar to infusion studies, when protein is delivered in a separate concentrate rather than blended into a TMR. (28:33–31:16) Dr. Nichols discusses three key areas of flexibility highlighted in her webinar: Energy source interactions (glucogenic vs. lipogenic supply),   Rumen nitrogen balance, and   Mammary gland amino acid metabolism. (32:21–33:50)   The panel explores how feeding systems may influence metabolic responses. PMR systems with separate concentrate feeding may allow temporal and metabolic “choice,” potentially improving efficiency compared to uniform TMR feeding. Robotic milking systems and automated concentrate feeders offer opportunities for more individualized protein nutrition strategies. (35:00–37:57) Amino acid discussions highlight how flexibility challenges the traditional limiting amino acid model. Milk protein synthesis is not consistently limited by one amino acid, and mammary uptake patterns show that amino acids can serve multiple roles beyond direct incorporation into milk protein. Lysine, leucine, and histidine are discussed as examples of amino acids whose responses may vary depending on metabolic context. (41:07–45:25) The group also examines energy source effects on nitrogen partitioning. Lipogenic diets (e.g., supplemental fats) may alter amino acid metabolism differently than glucogenic diets, but more research is needed to fully characterize these interactions. (49:24–53:11) Dr. Räisänen emphasizes the importance of rumen microbial protein synthesis and improving prediction models for digestible amino acid supply. Better understanding and measurement of microbial protein output could significantly improve feed evaluation systems and nitrogen efficiency modeling. (54:04–56:05) Dr. Nichols highlights endogenous nitrogen recycling and urea transport back to the rumen as another underexplored area. Improved mechanistic understanding of recycled nitrogen could refine models of rumen nitrogen balance and reduce overfeeding of dietary protein. (1:00:46) The episode closes with a discussion of cow-to-cow variation in nitrogen efficiency and the potential for individualized feeding strategies to optimize the marginal efficiency of protein use.

(1:16:44-1:27:01) – The Big Ten Tournament seedings are set! IU will face off the winner of Penn State and Northwestern on Wednesday, and then potentially face Purdue on Thursday. Jake discusses what is going on with Purdue and comments on the professionalism and maturity of Trey Kaufman-Renn following the senior day loss to Wisconsin. (1:27:01-1:34:35) – Hour number two of Query & Company concludes with Jake and Eddie highlighting the details of Alec Pierce’s contract with the Indianapolis Colts. Could they sign Kyler Murray to save some money instead of Daniel Jones? (1:34:35-2:00:03) – The Indianapolis Colts have been very busy since Friday’s show. They traded Zaire Franklin and resigned Blake Grupe over the weekend. Today, the Colts inked Alec Pierce to a historic contract and traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Steelers. Jake and Eddie discuss every angle to those deals Chris Ballard and company have made. (2:00:03-2:16:17) – Jake and Eddie continue the Colts conversation by trying to figure out why Alec Pierce would come back to the Indianapolis Colts without a definitive answer on Daniel Jones. Does he really love Indianapolis that much or is the Jones contract coming soon? Plus, could the Arizona Cardinals be the frontrunner for Anthony Richardson now?

For decades, developmental psychologist Jay Belsky has focused on one of the biggest questions in human development: how do early experiences shape the lives we go on to live? In this conversation with Michael Shermer, he explains why childhood adversity can leave deep marks, why some children are far more affected by experience than others, and why averages often hide the most important part of the story.    Belsky revisits the old nature-versus-nurture debate, but pushes past the usual framing. His argument is not that childhood determines everything in some simple, uniform way. It's that children differ in how developmentally "plastic" they are. The same divorce, the same stress, the same family conflict, or the same support can have very different effects depending on the child. The discussion moves through attachment theory, father absence, family conflict, puberty, epigenetics, and the evolutionary logic of development.  Belsky also returns to one of his central ideas: the children who are most vulnerable under harsh conditions may also be the ones most likely to flourish when conditions improve. That insight has major implications for how we think about parenting, intervention, and social policy. Jay Belsky is a developmental psychologist and one of the field's most influential and highly cited researchers. Over a four-decade career at Penn State, the University of London, and UC Davis, he studied how early-life experience shapes attachment, family relationships, and child development. His new book is The Nature of Nurture: Rethinking How Childhood Adversity Shapes Development.

The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with Shotgun Spratling and new co-host India Otto breaking down the latest news and recent struggles of ⁠USC⁠ men's and women's basketball. The Women of Troy finished the regular season dropping their final three games after their worst loss of the season, giving up a career-high 40 points to Kiyomi McMiller and falling on the road at Penn State before losing at home against No. 2 UCLA after giving up 22 offensive rebounds. On the men's side, things have been even worse as the Trojans dropped their fourth and fifth consecutive games the last week, including losing by 19 points to UCLA and then giving up 51 second-half points to let No. 12 Nebraska rally from a halftime deficit and roll to an easy victory. But the bigger news came the day after the Huskers handed USC's men their fifth straight loss when the athletic department released a statement that active leading scorer Chad Baker-Mazara was no longer a member of the program. The USC Triple-Double looks at all the latest in the Triple-Double segment before taking a look at where the USC men's and women's teams stand at this point in the season, seeing where they stack up in the standings and what is the latest bracketology involving the Trojans. Finally the podcasting duo moves into ta preview of the week ahead where both programs try to right the ship as the USC men try to turn around their fortunes and move back up the bubble pecking order while the Women of Troy head to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Tournament. Both teams will face Washington first and then if USC's women win their opening conference tournament matchup, both teams will face off against UCLA.
