The Sportists celebrate one year of podcasting magic by revisiting the Texas A&M visit to Columbia. Is it a bad thing when the defense is calling out your plays before the snap? If Drink goes elsewhere, will he take talented Tigers with him?

Suddenly, Mizzou isn't the only 6-3 BCS team in Missouri -- hello Missouri State! And, it's officially a mess in Baton Rouge as Bryan Kelly and LSU are having a less-than-amicable parting.

The third-place Chiefs (yes, third!) head to Denver for a crucial AFC West matchup and Blue Horseshoe leads the gang through five college and five NFL picks. Trap games and steel buildings are involved.

The Blues are better, but not good and the condensed NHL schedule isn't helping. But the guys agree that Monty is the right coach for the job.

The hammer comes down on two Cleveland pitchers in the MLB edition of "The 2025 Gambling Scandal." The Cardinals are open for business at the Winter Meetings with some surprising names surfacing.

All of this and early season college hoops and eager anticipation for a return to action for Jameis Winston. The Sportists thank YOU for being part of season one ... and hopefully many more!

Joe, Doug and Ron talk about MIzzou's upcoming game with Texas A&M and ponder what happens if the Tigers lose another QB? Is it wishbone time? They also look at the Mizzou record with the first playoff rankings out. Is there such a thing as a quality loss?

Elsewhere, the coaching carousel continues to spin and Hugh Freeze cancels a standing tee time. U-Mass is 0-9 and Joe says they are worse than their record indicates. Dabo Swinney is having a very interesting Fall and Indiana has not regressed to the mean (they would invite you to Google it).

The Chiefs have a rough trip to upstate New York. They're still the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl, yet they would not make the playoffs if they began today. It's all in the script. The Steelers keep winning by playing "varsity football." Blue Horseshoe leads the team through the college and pro picks for the week and, well, improvement is needed.

It's getting late early for the St. Louis Blues and giving up five goals per game is not a way to improve their situation. The World Series was a classic and America was watching.

It's college basketball season and Doug does his best to start an international incident. We apologize to any of our Belarus friends. All this and a reminder that a late-night "FedEx delivery" may end badly on this week's edition of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

The entire gang is back together to review the Mizzou loss in Nashville to Vanderbilt. Is the Pribula era over in Columbia or just taking a pause to recover? Tom's pre-season prediction of the dismissal of Brian Kelley at LSU comes to pass, and the governor of Louisiana is involved in picking a replacement. Huey Long would be proud.

The Chiefs deliver a second-consecutive home win and now travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills. Lamar Jackson returns for the Ravens, and all may not be lost for Joe and Ron's pre-season Super Bowl pick.

Blue Horseshoe leads the team through five college games and five pro games and a strong bias against Atlanta is revealed.

The St. Louis Blues are a factory of sadness, and the goaltending is a primary culprit. Can things get worse? Never say never.

An entertaining World Series is unfolding, and the Dodgers and their ample resources are hanging on as the teams head back to Toronto. All of this and more, including a surprising case of chasing gambling losses on this week's episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

Joe, Doug, Keith, and Ron take on one of the busiest seasons in sports. The Blues are off to an inconsistent start, and Coach Jim Montgomery is frustrated.

Mizzou wins an ugly game on the road on The Plains of Auburn and looks forward to a seismic matchup against Vandy this week, which will feature College Game Day. Where has their rushing attack gone?

College coaches are playing musical chairs with 10 vacancies out of 136 FBS schools. Time to start tracking flight paths and tail numbers?

The Chiefs dismantle the Raiders, and the Broncos accept a gift from the Giants. The Sportists take their weekly visit to Blue Horseshoe's Corner and pick five college games and five pro games. One Sportist insults Mizzou and then picks them.

CITY wraps up a frustrating season and the guys ponder, when is a backpack actually a wallet? All of this and women's baseball on this week's episode of The St. Louis Sportists podcast.

In the 50th episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast, April, Joe, Keith, and Ron talk about the Missouri Tigers taking a run at the Crimson Tide, and coming up short. Will they right the ship this weekend on The Plains of Auburn? And Ron goes on a rant with some life-improvement advice for Mizzou fans.

Lots of coaches are feeling their seats get very warm in both the college and pro ranks. James Franklin is out, but in the words of Dire Straits, he can look forward to some Money for Nothin'. Arch Manning and the Longhorns give opposing teams a "not so fast, my friend" with a decisive win in the Red River Rivalry. Also rising -- the Kansas City Chiefs -- who have gone from struggling to top form surprisingly quickly.

The Blues begin with a clunker on opening night, but rally in Western Canada. And the new roster additions are meshing nicely with the existing base.

Blue Horseshoe leads the team through college and pro picks for the weekend and Keith and Ron review a disappointing season for St. Louis CITY. All of this and how to handle it when a player on an arch-rival turns out to be a really good person on this week's episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

Tom, April, Keith, and Ron break down critical matchups for Mizzou and Illinois. Can the Tigers prove they're for real against Alabama? What can Illinois do to stop Ohio State? And who saw the Belichick story at North Carolina going sideways by early October?

The Chiefs have a night to forget in Jacksonville and high-powered Detroit comes to GEHA Field this weekend. And what's up with the rest of the league when the last two undefeated teams fall on the same weekend?

The St. Louis Blues begin the regular season and The Sportists have predictions - most all of them trending in aa positive direction. Can the Blues use the strong finish from last season as a springboard to an even more successful season?

City has won three out of their last four, but too little, too late. And Keith says to hold on the parade. All of this plus marketing genius and Ed Orgeron is even more serious about a comeback.

Tom, Joe, Doug and Ron find a new leader in charge of the Cardinals. While wholesale changes may be in the offing, some people will need to stick around.

Joe considers his pre-season Super Bowl favorites the Ravens and determines that the Bandwagon is Injured. The Chiefs regain their old form and a former Chief (unfortunately) joins the "Joe Theisman Hall of Fame."

Mizzou takes a break while Illinois wins a tight one against USC. And in Fayetteville, Bobby Petrino rides again.

In-game betting has become HUGE and shows no signs of abating. The Sportists uniformly agree - don't chase money.

The Ryder Cup had a definite New York Feel, that is New York cab driver. Was the European team simply ... better?

Before the baseball season began, the guys offered very specific Cardinal predictions. And, well, we have receipts.

All of this and the philosophical question - what would Len Dawson do? Find out on this episode of The St. Louis Sportists podcast.

Joe, Doug, Tom, and Ron survey the pro and college football landscape in this episode of The St. Louis Sportists podcast. Mizzou and the Chiefs score big wins while Illinois "declines to participate" against Indiana. The "permanent" opponents in the SEC are around for at least four years and Mizzou winds up with a regular appointment against the Aggies. Clemson is in a tailspin and Mike Gundy gets the news we all expected.

Jaxon Dart time comes for the Giants before anyone expected and the Chiefs-Ravens matchup will give us one AFC favorite with a 1-3 record. The guys deliver their pro and college picks with a visit from a Looney Tunes favorite.

The Ryder Cup is upon us and the European team has deployed an interesting training technique to handle New Yorkers. John Mozeliak and Miles Mikolas receive polite applause, but is it celebratory or are fans applauding their departure? Robot umps are coming to baseball, and the Sportists would like to welcome our new robotic overlords and remind them that as podcast hosts, we can be useful.

CITY wins again and moves ahead of Kansas. We look back at records that will not be broken with appearances from Cal Ripken (and Kevin Costner) and Bobby Moore. So, join us - you don't have to be a man, and 40 to enjoy this episode of the St. Louis Sportists Podcast.
