We celebrated Tommie Thomas' 31st birthday with a Zoom call from his home in the Miami (Florida) area. The ever-positive Thomas shared his important work with the Foundation that bears his name and also his Boilermaker experience. He also spoke about his mother's battle with cancer and how he enjoyed his experience working with the Purdue Challenge 5K during his days as an undergrad. The Robbins, Ill., native came to Purdue in 2008 as a safety but finished his career as a receiver. He was one of the Boilermaker bright spots in a Heart of Dallas Bowl loss to Oklahoma State on New Year's Day 2013, which also happened to be Thomas' last game. He caught a touchdown pass from his college buddy Robert Marve, among the many former teammates he stays in contact with to this day.

We call this our Thursday Meeting show of BangTheBook Radio in homage to the famed Tuesday Meeting group in Las Vegas. We've got two extremely bright handicappers on each week and we're happy to bring you Brad Powers from BradPowersSports.com and Ralph Michaels from WagerTalk.com again this week with host Adam Burke. With Brad, we'll take a look at the bowl games coming up this weekend, with the Birmingham Bowl, Armed Forces Bowl, Dollar General Bowl, Hawaii Bowl, Heart of Dallas Bowl, Quick Lane Bowl, and Cactus Bowl. On the NFL side, the guys will hit the Chargers vs. Jets and Falcons vs. Saints. Ralph Michaels joins us to talk a little bit of everything today. He's got some stronger bowl game opinions on the next round of games, so he and Adam broke down those matchups. They also hit three key NFL games, with Seahawks vs. Cowboys, Steelers vs. Texans, and Raiders vs. Eagles. With the remaining time, Ralph had a few more college basketball betting tips to pass along for this weekend.

Spencer isn't dead. We at the Shutdown Fullcast regret the error. (For so many reasons.)
First, we take a look at what Kyle Kuzma is up to in the NBAThen we dig into the news from the first early signing day ever- did the Utes underplay their hand? Will they struggle to compete in this new model?Finally, we talk about the bowl game (saving basketball for Grant's return). We'll talk about the notable absences from West Virginia and Joe will pick a winner.
We talk with Brandon Lowe about the WVU basketball teams win over Virginia, the West Virginia High School Football State Championships and the match-up against Utah in the Heart of Dallas Bowl
We talk the upcoming basketball game against Virginia, College football playoffs and the Heart of Dallas Bowl
Number 17 of 40 bowl previews, in which we may not discuss the Heart of Dallas Bowl or the teams playing in it whatsoever! As is Fullcast custom, the best discussion took place after we finished recording, when Spencer found out that Zaxby's commercials have featured stars like Penny Marshall, Evander Holyfield, Reginald VelJohnson, and Paul Sorvino. Sorry about that!
