Good news, everyone - it's Olympic season!! We recap the early results and the main story lines involving the Games. Also, we have a special guest: Illini Wrestler Isaiah Martinez comes in to discuss his career and MORE. So sit back, relax, and come jump on the Bandwagon.
It's a Travis Tate version of the Bandwagon, which means at least 25% more awesomeness - plus tennis, Winter Olympics, the NBA and a lot more!
The latest ep has John, Lisa, and Brian firmly ensconced in the season. Which season, you ask? So many possible seasons! Football (which doesn’t come up), soccer (which also doesn’t come up, weirdly), baseball (which does)… but special guest Travis Tate takes us up and down the court, so basketball it is.
In this, the 23rd episode of the Bandwagon, we interview Cubs relief pitcher Spencer Patton. Also: Fantasy Sports 101, a rivalry almost all of us of a certain age watched on Sunday afternoon TV back in the olden times, and more social media items of note, including the soon-to-be-regular (?) "Famous Person Who Liked Our Tweet" segment. Hop on!
We do ONE LAST (for real) Olympics check-in, discuss the Paralympic Games for a few minutes, entertain Illinois soccer head coach Janet Rayfield in the friendly confines of Studio A, talk about the Lovie Effect on U of I sports, and Lisa confesses her obsession with a ping-pong playing cat.
