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.
