Bourbon and Buckeyes

We are finally here . . . the Sweet Sixteen!  Should be an interesting tournament from here on out - ALL #1's are still in.  Will we have two ones playing in the finals, or will there be an upset along the way?  I think there's at least one upset in the making.   Spring ball is in April, the portal is open for college basketball and today, which I forgot to mention in the podcast, is ope...

Title?  Self explanatory!  It's that time of year and MJ walks through her bracket, so far, and talks about the games that have been played so far and, because hockey season is still on . . . a little update on the Columbus Blue Jackets. Here's to not getting your bracket busted and your team going ALL THE WAY! Sidebar - I had a little technical difficulties so please make sure your volu...

An update on shutuptony, the final AP Poll, some big losses over the weekend and The Columbus BlueJackets!   That just about sums it up for last/this weeks epidsode! Conference play starts Wednesday-Saturday,  Selection Sunday and then we DANCE Have a Great Week and until next time!

Happy Friday Ya'll!!!! It's that time of year . . . AGAIN where we are heading into March Madness, the NFL combine and draft and the NHL is getting "warmed" up for the Stanley Cup.  So much to watch! Enjoy MJ's insights on all three, and of course you know she has strong opinions! She hasn't declared a top pick for any of them, especially basketball because . . . . ....

It's been a minute and a lot has happened since our last episode - so we pick up after the Buckeyes make the final game of the Championship Playoffs!   Of course the hot topic was the UK vs Arkansas game!  Lots of turns and twists in that one for sure and as expected, MJ has words about all of it!!! February 4th is #shutuptony's birthday, KY plays Ole Miss and we'll be watching, bir...

The CFP Championship game is almost upon us . . . .  who is your pick to win?  It is going to be a tough game, in my humble opinion. A little basketball chat, hockey and tennis - all around 11:30 pm!  Yes kids, it was a late recording. Happy Friday Ya'll, and may your colors fly on Monday night!

Happy New Year and Happy Friday Ya'll! It was a CRAZY Christmas here at MJ and #shutuptony's so of course, I have filled you in on all the madness - some of it funny and some not so much! Football, basketball (the not so much fun, at least for me), the playoffs are so far so good for OSU . . . and so it goes! I hope your holidays have been amazing and the New Year the best yet!

I think the title speaks for itself, but I explain it all in this episode of Bourbon and Buckeyes #shutuptony. The 12 game Football Playoffs are here and Ohio State starts with Tennessee (which, thankfully, is here in Columbus at the Shoe).  Play like you got nothin to lose, OSU!  Of course, if they win that one, the next is Oregon.  D this committee stack the deck or what?  I know how it feels -...

Happy Friday Ya'll! A quick recap of the weekends big games and how they all stand in the rankings as of Monday.  It's rivalry week and OSU vs  ichigan and Kentucky plays Louisville - now I do realize I talked about Kentucky's new QB a couple of times (one was in context of the Texas game and one in context of the Louisville contest coming up) but I am just THAT excited about him!!!...

Happy Friday Ya'll! The title is in reference to a certain basketball game this week (Not giving it away) that left me VERY happy and hopeful! A little talk about the CFP and how all that is gonna work (which I have no clue - it seems to me "they" are making it more difficult than it needs to be . . . just sayin. A little coach talk, especially one Mark Stoops, and a little Clevelan...

Happy Friday Ya'll! Today, meaning yesterday (Thursday), is Sarah's Birthday so she took the night off to celebrate.   Conspiracy Theories . . . yes, sometimes they go so far out on a limb that you know it's not real.  This is kinda out there, but not so much that it can't be believed. College basketball has started and you can bet I give you my honest to goodness truest though...

Sarah returns for this episode because she has ALOT to say about the OSU "fan" base and as she said, "I sound like you talkin about the Kentucky basketball fans!" So, needless to say we cover OSU, Kentucky and some of the other names in college football . . . most of it is not so good!  There is some NFL chatter (bring in the Porn Stash) and tons of talk about the lack of good...

It was a rough weekend - the Guards started off great and then it was all downhill from there!  MJ talks the Bucs, the Wildcats and, unfortunately, Little Ricky Pitino. I have calmed down by all the antics of all the games . . . but not by much! Here's to a better weekend (at least the Bucs are on a bye week) for the Cats and to the Guards beating those Damn Yankees!

If you are a Kentucky Wildcat Fan . . . then it is a glorious day!  MJ recaps the Kentucky vs Ole Miss game and does so with the greatest of joy!  WHAT A GAME! She recaps the week in collage football, the NFL, the MLB playoffs, a little tennis and a tribute to Mr. Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Big Red Machine.  We lost Pete this week and MJ talks a little about him and the controversy that dogged hi...

Sarah and MJ, well MJ returns from a long Summer break (Sarah is still on hiatus, but may join in here and there). This episode is short, sweet and filled with MJ's opinion on the Kentucky vs Georgia game and ready for Stoops to hit the road. We also wanted to say a HUGE thank you to our listeners for all of the downloads this last week - BLEW ME AWAY!  So, THANK YOU! Glad to be back for anot...

Rhoda, the cat and sometimes producer, was really giving us a run for our money! We've got the NBA, WNBA, NHL, NCAA basketball, baseball and the Women's World Series Softball . . . a little something for everyone! Hope you enjoy this weeks episode and as always . . . HAPPY FRIDAY YA'LL!

It's almost post time for the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby!  There are some interesting stats on some of the horses,  their trainers and their post positions -  so listen close if you're betting on the race, which includes two horses from Japan and one of them is F A S T! Happy Derby and, as always, Happy Friday Ya'll!

Yes, a very bizarre title, but it WILL make sense . . . I promise! A little pre-derby conversation before we really get into it next week.   The NFL Draft will be partly over by the time this comes out, but we'll see how good our resources were with the picks. Just a tad of College basketball talk, this is were the "go back into your coffin" comes in, and a little NBA. Enjoy and as...

Sarah fill  us in on all things baseball, The Crew and the WNBA .  MJ, of course addresses the "white elephant" in the men's basketball world, the ever evolving saga of the state of  The University of Kentucky Men's Basketball  team and the departure of a beloved Coach.  It's a sad day for all of us. So as usual . . . . Happy Friday Ya'll! cSarah catches us up on , Th...

The title sort of speaks for itself . . . . at least if you're from Kentucky! All kinds of topics this week:  Tournaments, women's and men's, who will come out on top, why are female athletes still targets for fodder, and one of my favorites . . . The Vampire/slick Rick or whatever you call him - he is at it again! The Crew, the Columbus Women's Volleyball team (yes, we have on...

Ok, MJ told a little white lie . . . she's fine, but not really! It's been a rough couple of weeks for MJ, but it's getting better.  Sarah and MJ talk it out and make their picks for who is left in this thing called the Road To The Final Four.  We've got the men and we've got the women's and from here on out . . . it's a free for all.   We sincerely hope your bra...

Let's just cut to the chase . . . MARCH MADNESS HAS BEGUN! Sarah and MJ have made their picks, and the brackets will probably be blown the first night!  Here's to everyone making their brackets winners. Happy Friday Ya'll and . . .  Let the Dance Begin!

We have a new segment . . . SHAME ON YOU!  and tonight there are plenty of SHAMES ON YOU to go around!   So much going on this time of year.  Football players movin around like checker pieces, coaches getting fired and hired, women basketball players (and their brother) and their coaches fighting like it's the WWE! And of course, the best for last . . . conference games are being played all g...

Sarah and MJ are back after a week of Sarah being out-of-town and MJ's foot surgery  Catching up on the state of College Basketball (MJ has a few surprise stories to tell)!  It's almost time for the big Dance, but we've (as in Kentucky) have one more major hoop to jump through namely one Tennessee and it won't be easy!!!! Caitlin Clark breaks a scoring record, but is it Apples...

Don't fall off your chairs, but MJ is standing behind Little Nicky Sabin as he offers up his help to the SEC Commissioner and Alabama's AD in setting the guidelines  and regulations for NIL, etc.  He doesn't like the turn college sports is taking either, but I think he knows it is what it is, and will be a steady influence and a voice of reason.  Of course, Sarah and MJ couldn'...
