Welcome in Slumpbusters! On this episode the Slumpbuster podcast, Ju-Ju & Kyle give you the latest sporting headlines in the world of the NBA, College Football and the NFL.
The NBA 2021-2022 season has officially passed the Christmas Day mile marker. We take a second to look at Kyle's ranking update posted this past Sunday. The Los Angeles Lakers remain a Top-10 team according to Kyle. Why are they ranked higher than the Nuggets, Grizzlies and Cavaliers? (3:00) Kyle has the Boston Celtics ranked no. 17 as their record continues to slide below .500. Is it time for the Celtics to move on from Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown? (22:00)
College Football has experience a surge of cancelled bowl games due to the ongoing pandemic. We remain on course though for our stories New Years Six Bowl Games. Penn State will take on Sam Pittman's Razorbacks in the Outback Bowl. Mike Gundy will try and motivate his Cowboys against the Fighting Irish in the Fiesta Bowl. How will Lane Kiffin's Rebels do against the Baylor Bears in the Sugar Bowl? Will Kyle Whittingham coach his last game with Utah as the Utes take-on Ohio State in the Rose Bowl?
