Michigan football introduces the world to the double-top-secret clock visible only to Big 10 officials. LSU pushes the buttons of the SEC and punches out Dabo and Clemson. Mizzou prepares for the Border War and oddsmakers expect a close game. The Cardinals sputter but continue to promote intriguing prospects and CITY is a major story in Major League Soccer.

Need a bar trivia question? The answer is Max Muncy. The guys pick five college and five pro games in Blue Horseshoe’s Corner and more trouble at the new stadium in Buffalo. All of this and much, much more in this week’s episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

The St. Louis Sportists celebrate their 100th episode.

College Football is here and there is no controversy whatsoever. Mizzou kicks off Thursday night – only a 54.5-point favorite – and it’s the return of Blue Horseshoe to make sense of it all. Missouri State goes deep in the heart of Texas – and someone better be sure to check on the check.

There’s chaos in Baton Rouge and across the SEC as teams (including Mizzou) aren’t sure who’s eligible just hours before their seasons kick off. And Mizzou gets a returning hoopster that they didn’t expect.

The Cardinals are picking up as many injuries as wins lately, and are still somehow only 3.5 games out of the Wild Card. Yet another exciting prospect is called up from Memphis and Joshua Baez looks to be back on the rise.

CITY notches a draw that feels like a loss, but may score big with two new players joining the team at the close of the transfer window. They face a tough Vancouver team this weekend as every point becomes critical.

All this plus the travels of Tommy Pham and the Blues have a new captain on this week’s episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.

The Cardinals have their worst weekend of the season and quite likely end their playoff contention. But never fear – Nolan Gorman is BACK!

St. Louis shines in the national spotlight at the BMW Championship – we’ll have a Sportist-on-the-Scene perspective. Also, hand, foot and mouth disease seems to be something to avoid.

All this plus St. Louis CITY marches on, the NCAA is back in court (and not a basketball court), and betting on golf is easy and fun – on this week’s episode of The St. Louis Sportists Podcast.
