Damn, I was looking forward to this show this year as it was great when Jen Lada did it last year. No thanks if Homer is back doing it.

I know I'm in the minority, but I find her grating on the coaches show. Asks Shaka questions he's been asked a hundred times.

Jen is still doing the show this year, this was a one-off that Homer did while they were in the Bahamas to take advantage of non-US location for Ben's NIL benefits.....I'm not sure I understand the "hate/dislike" of Homer, I enjoy him on the radio call with Tony Smith but guessing his X-Twitter musings don't vibe well with a lot of folks

A good amount of the time I have no idea what is going on in the game listening to Homer.

That's half the fun. You have no idea what is happening and then randomly hear "Marquette lead is 8." Exhilarating.

It was a rough listen during the Georgia game. The other part of it is Tony struggles to make a concise point while play is happening.

Fluffy interview.  Getting to know Ben, youth, family, New Zealand, mostly.

"Marquette down 2. The Sheriff takes a no-footer. (Opponent) brings it up court. Marquette has it. Third, fourth, fifth floor! OH BABY! Time out on the court. Marquette shooting free throws when we return.  Marquette 89, Opponent 82"

Nice interview.
Sounds like physically, don't have to worry about Ben being intimidated.

Has homer been under a rock? Even the most casual sports fans know NZ dominates in world rugby.

Also how do you guys even listen to the radio now days? The espn app always says per ncaa rules the broadcast isn't available check leargiekd for more information

I use the men's b-ball schedule on gomarquette to get the link to the varsity network radio feed.

I guess because rugby isn't on a lot of people's radar.  Not on mine, and those who know me would never call me a casual sports fan.  (Geez, don't you watch anything besides sports Romey?)

I couldn't tell you the favorites for the Stanley Cup this year either.
