My guest had to cancel last minute, but the show must go on! Plus I had already set everything up.

It's a preview of the football Gold Ball games, including who Sports Illustrated thinks will win.

Recorded with Streamyard.

Basketball season is finally here! But first we've got a couple more football games.

Facing a massive upset, Windham's soccer team found an equalizer with 3 minutes to play and then won on a penalty kick in overtime. But was the call correct? Maybe?

Then, Ryan McLaughlin of the Ellsworth American joins me to talk about week 8 in football, plus some more soccer, and half marathons.

The big news today is that Ace Flagg has committed to the University of Maine, giving the Black Bears their biggest commit in what seems like forever. Can he take them to the Promised Land (a 16 seed) or beyond (winning a game in the tourney)?

Then, I go region by region and pick a Cinderella for each one.

Every basketball season, I pick against the odds and try and find a team in every region that can pull off an upset. People like it, or at least they like to be mad about it. So today I go region-by-region through girls soccer in advance of the quarterfinals kicking off today.

Plus, we have a little bit of clarity on the Lisbon situation.

A tie in the Heal Points is super-rare, but you know what's even MORE rare? A tie that isn't a tie. Let me explain.

That, plus the updated football rankings!

I took my kid to his first-ever football game and he did not like it, but the winner joined this week's top 10 and pulled into a 3-way tie at the top of C North.

I go over this week's rankings, then WHOU's Rob Kennedy joined me for the Week 6 overreactions. We talk about broadcasting, the growth of WHOU, do a roundup of games from around the state, and Rob reveals the best mozzarella sticks in the state.

Plus, a correction from last week's episode.
