Highly Disputed

Shepherd got smoked by a bunch of nerds in the national semis. We look at just what the hell happened, appreciate the fun we’ve had this season, and take a good, long look at what’s ahead next year. Who’s back, what new faces we could see, and what to expect. Somehow we found time to fix the NBA schedule too.

The play-by-play voice of Shepherd Rams football and men’s basketball on TV10 and WRNR TV Nick Verzolini joins us for one last retrospective on the party of a regional championship game that was the 48-13 win over IUP for the Rams before giving you the whole-hog breakdown of Shepherd’s national semifinal matchup against Colorado School of Mines. How do you stop John Matocha? How healthy are Shephe...

Dylan and Ryan are joined by the man, the myth, the legend Travis “The Beast” Bagent, the father of Shepherd quarterback Tyson Bagent to talk with him about Shepherd making it back to another regional championship game in a PSAC title rematch against IUP. Also on the docket: the legacy of Tyson at Shepherd, his path to the NFL, and the potential future of Tyson’s younger brother Ezra as his high s...

Happy Turkey Day Eve. First piece of business: why on earth do the Lions play on Thanksgiving every year? Why are we keeping up this charade? The Cowboys too, who cares. Also, who does Zach Wilson think he is? After our NFL talk, we get back to more important matters: Shepherd vs Slippery Rock in the D2 round of 16.

Our resident D2 football expert, former Shepherd QC assistant Russell Goodacre joins the show to give us a full-fledged preview of all 4 regions of the D2 football playoffs, including Shepherd’s chances through each round after we give our analysis of the Rams’ first loss of the year in the PSAC title game. Before that: an impromptu preview of Shepherd basketball as we complain about our ability t...

HD is live on the scene at the QFs of the PSAC volleyball tournament as Shepherd hosts West Chester. You know what that means: for the first time in a while, it’s volleyball talk! Then we break down the PSAC football title game vs IUP on Saturday and find out live on air that Tyson Bagent has made the Senior Bowl.

Logan Rothstein makes a triumphant return to the show with his Tennessee Vols coming in at #1 in the first CFP ranking ahead of their big matchup with Georgia on Saturday, so obviously we spend most of our time discussing Tom Brady’s plastic surgery, CFB bowl game sponsors, and grading XFL team names. Actual timely topics such as the NFL trade deadline, The Nets being the Nets, and of course, the...

The Ringer’s Steven Ruiz makes his return to become a Friend of the Show in record time and actually talk about real football this time, specifically his weekly QB rankings that have had the internet yelling at him every week. After he departs, we check in on the NBA and CFB before looking forward for Shepherd football and Dylan calls his shot on their trajectory.

Justis Mosqueda of SBNation’s Packers site Acme Packing Company joins the show to give a diagnosis of the problems in Green Bay before The Ringer’s Steven Ruiz and Yahoo’s Charles McDonald drop in unannounced to bully Justis about our online Madden franchise after Justis finally won a Super Bowl after years of disappointment. There’s some other stuff sprinkled in, actual IRL football, the New Orle...

The fellas are back and here to break down all of your favorite parts of football - that’s right, logos, Grand Valley State vs Ferris State, the Utah Tech Trailblazers, and the Chadron State Eagles. Oh yeah, Tennessee vs. Alabama and some NFL talk as well. Also, the NBA starts next week? Where’d that come from?

Kansas is good at football. JMU might be even better. The Fun Belt is back. Shepherd is still much better than WVU. We also figure out what we’ve actually learned about the NFL through 4 weeks: the Ravens are losing games they shouldn’t, Mitch Trubisky is bad, the Jaguars aren’t, and Tom Brady doesn’t have the cholesterol to be out here.

Resident Texas Expert Terrance Anderson returns to the show once more to talk to us about his Falcons, his horrific fantasy football lineup, the frauds of the NFL, the smooth sailing Shepherd Rams, Florida Georgia Line I guess, and, of course, the weather. He’s got mail coming for us apparently. It’s a bit frightening. But also…exciting.

The Shepherd Rams continue to be the only good football team at any level other than the Bills. And the Eagles I guess. Expanded CFB Playoff talk kicks us off before diving into Tyson Bagent’s draft stock, trouble in Indianapolis, the inevitable cliff Derrick Henry is barreling towards, and much more.

Football is back, and so are we, with some special guests: Friend of the Show Nick Arguelles and co-host of the Sports Mix on WRNR Spencer DuPuis. We talk about the beginning of the NFL season including Commander Carson, the ugly Steelers-Bengals game, and the Joe Flacco non-revenge game. Then we let our frustrations with Neal Brown out, let Spencer let loose about Marshall, and wonder whether Ron...

This long-awaited special is here. Friend of The Show Mikayla Gilmer makes her return to take over the show and breakdown the first half of season 19 of The Bachelorette with us. We go through episodes 1-5 including the reel of shitty gag entrances, Dylan calling his shot on Tino, oh damn Rachel’s crying again, and The Logan Tier. Idk how long we expected this to take but here’s our feature-length...

The unthinkable has happened. The face of professional wrestling Vince McMahon has retired…or resigned in shame, depending on who you ask. We bring along our good pal Jake Long to bring some extra wrestling fan knowledge to the table as we discuss what this means for WWE and the pro wrestling industry at large, expectations for Triple H as the new head of the WWE creative team, and the legacy of V...

We’re back to follow up on our previous episode in which it was laid out to us why Coach Jenna Eckleberry left Shepherd University. We address the fallout from our interview in which sone feathers were ruffled and give our take on the entire situation more so than we were able to in real time.

Friend of the Show Marley McLaughlin, now graduated from Shepherd women’s basketball captain to now Frostburg State assistant women’s basketball coach, joins the show and she has…a lot of things she wants to get off her chest. She takes us through just how Shepherd foolishly allowed Coach Eckleberry to depart to Frostburg, along with her transition from basketball player to basketball coach, the B...

Live from Ryan’s car, it’s our worst idea yet: a podcast from a moving vehicle. We had to get our takes off about Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving being on the verge of being traded. We also confront Garett about his lack of movie knowledge, get an F1 report from him, speak on the trades and potential future trades of the Jazz, and list our favorite MCU movies & video games.

Abby Beeman makes her triumphant return to HD to become an official Friend of The Show and with another new title as well: Marshall University Point Guard. We get the lowdown on her transfer from Shepherd up to the Division 1 level, revisit the stunning burger revelations from her last appearance, and find out why she hates LeBron. After Abby departs, we take a look at the NBA playoffs as we appro...

Welcome to potentially the final episode of the WSHC era of Highly Dipsuted, and our last episode for a while in general. It's our final preview of the 2022 NFL Draft literally just a few hours away. Dylan gives his top 10 mock for perhaps the wildest, most unpredictable draft of our lifetimes and discuss the apparently very obvious paths the Steelers and Ravens are going to take tonight in Round...

Ryan is out this week (or is he?), so Logan Rothstein and Cody List step into the studio to try to help Dylan project the top of the NFL Draft to help us win some cash on props. just 7 days out before getting to arguing about whether Arby's and Sheetz are actually good or actually bad.

Our first-ever guest (we think) Derrik Klassen returns to the show to continue our yearly tradition of asking him for his takes on the quarterback class in the upcoming NFL Draft. We make sure to get the unfiltered versions of every take he's got on the likes of world-renowned cheater Kenny Pickett getting to the bottom of his hatred of Matt Corral, and examining exactly why Travon Walker is happe...

It's baseball's Opening Day, and we decided to actually talk about the sport! Bad news: we talked about what's wrong with it and why it's dying. What happened? What changed? Was it always this way? How do we fix it? We answer these questions, and more, including the question everyone wants to know: why aren't there anymore new and good game shows and why is Pawn Stars so great?

This is April. That means we're coming down the home stretch of the NBA regular season. After spending months bogging ourselves down in football and Shepherd basketball, we finally get to dive deep into the NBA fold and let our takes loose as we look at the current playoff picture. Kyrie is back for the Nets, but will it be enough? Will the Celtics survive the Robert Williams injury? Can anyone st...
