It is a month of hoops, last second buzzer beaters and ultimately one shining moment.

For us here at the Historically Speaking Sports podcast, the month of March also means looking back on the best that the sport of college basketball has to offer From the Indiana Hoosiers perfect season to Christian Laettner's game winner against Kentucky and the unrivaled dominance of the UCLA Bruins led by Lew Alcindor (Later Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), Bill Walton and the "Wizard of Westwood" John Wooden.

Yet in this episode --- we are going to be treading into dangerous waters.

In this special March Madness edition of the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast Co-hosts Dana Auguster and Charles Combs will share their takes on basketball history that will certainly spark debate among the listeners as well as possible outrage.

Those so called dangerous waters that the hosts will be drifting into in this episode is putting together the starting five, one bench player and the coach of 12 of the most prestigious college basketball programs in history.

Some of the questions we will be tackling, who starts at point guard for Georgetown, Allen Iverson or Eric Sleepy Floyd.

Who will team up with Michael Jordan at the University of North Carolina?

Which two supremely talented guards will make up the back court for the University of Arizona which has a very rich history at those positions.

And which of the five Kentucky coaches that have won championships in Lexington be tapped to be the head coach of the ultimate collection of Wildcats.

All those questions and much more will be answered in this episode.

But there is a point to all of this. this is only part one of a two part series.

After the teams are constructed with lineups filled with legendary players, the second part of the series will feature a 12 team bracket and Charles and Dana will predict the winner of the tournament.

Then with the help of artificial intelligence it will determine a winner and we will compare our predications with AI.

Now how close they will come is yet to be seen. But....in this episode.... Charles and Dana will discuss and in some cases debate who is most deserving to be on their alma maters greatest collection of hoops talent.

So sit back and prepare to either be in agreement or in total outrage on who we select for the first annual Historically Speaking Sports Alumni Basketball tournament... right here on the sports history network.

During that time of conference growth of both prominence and popularity, the team most emblematic of that growth in national prestige was located in -- of all places-- Baton Rouge Louisiana. And the leader of this team from the sidelines hailed from the hinterlands of North Dakota.

In his episode of the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast, Co-hosts Dana Auguster and Charles Combs highlight the era of LSU Tigers basketball under the direction of Head Coach Dale Brown.

During his tenure with the Tigers, Brown didn't just coach basketball at LSU, he made it matter in a football crazed state and made it a national brand.

He took a program that had flashes of relevance and turned into a powerhouse that would go toe-to-toe with anyone in the country.

This was the era of superstars such as Chris Jackson who would later become Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, whose scoring brilliance electrified the country and garnered comparisons to Pete Maravich. It was also the era of the unstoppable force of Shaquille O'Neal, a once in a generation talent who turned LSU into must see TV.

And before them there was Rudy Macklin leading the Tigers to the final four, for the first time since the early 1950s

But the Dale Brown era wasn't just about wins and NBA draft picks .

It was about personality, passion and conviction.

Brown was outspoken, emotional, sometimes controversial -- a coach who wore his heart on his sleeve and fought fiercely for his players. He believed LSU could compete with the blue bloods of college basketball and for stretches from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s ... it absolutely did.

Along with the College Football semifinals taking place, there is also the Wildcard matchups in the NFL postseason.

Unlike in previous seasons, there is no clear cut favorite to reach Santa Clara for Super Bowl LX.

Yet what's really cool about this weekend in the NFL, the Playoff games are rematches of past postseason matchups. Some determined who reached the Super Bowl. We had one that was talked about for a week, not for this teams performance, but the peculiar absence of a certain star quarterback.

There is one matchup this weekend that is a rematch of one of the few postseason games in NFL history that went to double overtime. There is also a rematch of a championship game from the American Football League and a game between two football rabid fanbases whose team's matchup in the late 1970s brought about instant replay.

A team built on grit, not glamour.

History often remembers the champions, yet the 1985 New England Patriots didn't win a championship. Yet in this case, they are remembered for the journey, a journey that was one of the most memorable in NFL History.

In this episode of the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast, the place where we give you sports from back in the day, Co hosts Charles Combs and Dana Auguster will bring you back to the mid 1980s.

In this edition will will talk about Patriots' first AFC Championship team that posted three, count them, three postseason upsets that included ending a losing streak that dated back to the Lyndon Johnson administration.

This was a team that was devoid of big names and huge stars. But was comprised of several solid individuals that was the personification of blue collar teamwork.

Leading this group was a head coach who had made his own way into Canton as a Hall of Fame receiver, but his quiet understated style was the trademark of this great team.

Later in the show we will send a shout out to a former Patriot great, whose clutch performance that season made him a New England legend plus a discussion on who was actually the worse Super Bowl participant.

We breakdown in our opinion the Top Five Best Sports Cites, where celebrating championships come second nature. Places where championships, culture, loyalty and sheer sports madness collide to create something both unforgettable and special. These cities live and breathe their teams and often have the championship banners to prove.

then here is the other side of the coin where we also rank in our humble opinion out Top Five Worst Cities, where heartbreak come standard, expectations go unmet, and hope is often the MVP. Whether its a lack of success, fan apathy, bad ownership or just years of pure misery, these cities have earned their place -though not the one their fans were hoping for.

In this episode of the podcast, we will travel back to the year 2002 in College Football in our first episode of the series we call "A Year in the League" where we talk about all of the headlines, best teams and memorable moments that made that season so memorable.

In addition of the Larry Coker coached Miami Hurricanes, there were other teams that included the USC trojans that were on the rise who were led by head Coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Carson Palmer who went on to win college footballs most coveted trophy.

Another team that was making noise in college football that year was Oklahoma who had returned to glory after years of struggle that followed the exit of their legendary coach Barry Switzer and also will revisit one of the most improbable finishes in college football that fans have called the "Bluegrass Miracle".

Yet that season climaxed in the desert of Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl when a team with a second year coach and a freshman running back pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year in one of the best national championship games ever and brought a national title to a place that hadn't celebrated one for more than a generation.

As with a lot of sports fans, we like to think and wonder what would have happened if this thing happened or that event would not have happened, how would have history been different.

In this episode Auguster and Combs discuss three scenarios that possibly would have changed NBA history as we know it.

Titled "Jordan Era What Ifs" we discuss various questions:

What if Len Bias and Reggie Lewis both had full careers with the Boston Celtics in the late 1980s and 1990's?

What if Arvydas Sabonis would have come to the Portland Trail Blazers when he was drafted in 1986 instead of having to wait almost a decade to join the team because of political instability in the former Soviet Union?

And finally, how dominant would the Houston Rockets would have been after reaching the NBA Finals in 1986 if Ralph Sampson would not have been lost to injury and two of their stars, Lewis Lloyd and Mitchell Wiggins had not been suspended for drug use?

We will attempt to answer these questions as well as send a shout out to one of the most underrated NBA drafts ever, the 1986 NBA Draft.

The 1978 NBA Season has it own distinctive flavor from the New York Nets moving to Piscataway from Long Island and becoming the New Jersey Nets to the Washington Bullets winning their only NBA title.

Yet were there were two other events that took place during 1978 NBA regular season that set that year apart and in both cases forever linked two pairs of players together in NBA history.

In one instance, two future basketball Hall of Famers had a season long scoring duel that ended with a climatic finish on the last day of the regular season that rewrote the record books.

Yet there was another event that happened in the early stages of the 1978 regular season that became one of the league's most infamous. So infamous in fact that it actually prompted an investigative report from legendary CBS Evening News anchor Walter Cronkite.

The incident was known simply in the annals of NBA history as "The Punch".

There was little to be expected from the team from southern California. After all, the Chargers did lose their top running back and receiver from the season before on offense and their best defensive back to retirement.

Yet with a stunning rally against the rival Denver Broncos in the opening game of the regular season, the San Diego Chargers began the season 6-0 and eventually winning and AFC West title after sweeping the season series against the Kansas City Chiefs led by the great Joe Montana who experts predicted were going the win the division in 1994

One of the games that we are talking about is one from the1998 playoffs that established a new superstar wide receiver that was the heir apparent to the greatest receiver of all time and submitted a fitting sequel to one of the greatest moments in not only the history of his team but the entire league itself.

Meanwhile with thanksgiving next week, it is appropriate to celebrate one of the most memorable games ever to take place on Turkey Day.

On Thanksgiving Day 1974, a superstar quarterback goes down with a concussion and replacing him is a little known rookie signal caller that leads a miracle comeback against one of the NFL's elite teams at the time.

Another game that we will highlight we’ll have to go back to the early 1960s that most NFL analysts at the time considered a major upset.

In this memorable game this franchise that would later become one of the most consistent winners in the National Football League, would accomplish something that wouldn’t be done again in the NFL for another 41 years.

And finally we go from the sublime to the ridiculous.

In perhaps the strangest moment in the 1982 regular season that in itself was strange, a game came down to not a key play or player or a key play call or even a crucial penalty.

In this game between two long time bitter divisional rivals, it came down to of all things, a convicted felon and a John Deere Tracker.

In this episode of the NFL Historical Matchups for Week 11, we have four games that we are highlighting.

The first one may be one of the most famous and the most important games in NFL History. It may not have been a classic as for as a close game or having a fantastic finish, but Super Bowl III between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Jets helped create the current NFL.

It was more than the biggest upset in Super Bowl history, it added legitimacy to the upstart American Football League as the merger between the AFL and NFL was on the horizon.

The second game was the 1981 AFC Championship game between the San Diego Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals.

The game played in conditions that were better suited for the Iditarod Sled dog race in Alaska, saw the Bengals advance to their first Super Bowl by winning the game known as the "Freezer Bowl".

The third game we are remembering was referenced in a Sports Illustrated article that previewed the game at the time as Super Bowl 8 1/2 .

But after it was over, the game had earned another name that has lived on to this day.

The 1974 AFC Divisional playoff game between the Miami Dolphins and the Oakland Raiders is remembered as the "Sea of Hands Game".

Rounding out our games that we are looking back on is the 1966 AFL Championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills.

The Bills were looking to win their third consecutive AFL Championship game but more importantly play in the inaugural Super Bowl. But it would be the Chiefs that would advance to the first Super Bowl in a muddy, cold day at the stadium known as the Rockpile.

We are heading into week 9 of the NFL regular season and this week we will look back at three games that are rematches from famous games from the NFL's glorious past.

The first game is the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Atlanta Falcons. In the 1980 divisional playoffs, the Falcons were playing Cowboys in their first ever home playoff game.

this epic game became known as the "Duel in Dixie".

the other two games were regular season games that defied both defenses and explanation as both were high scoring affairs.

The first was in 1969 as a former Canadian Football League star quarterback became a member of the exclusive "seven touchdowns in a game" club, joining the likes of George Blanda and Sid Luckman.

The second high scoring game that we are highlighting this episode took place three seasons earlier between long time rivals the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants.

Taking place at then DC Stadium, New York and Washington face off in the highest scoring game in NFL history.

That is what is on tap here on this Historically Speaking Sports Historical NFL matchup episode here on the Sports History Network.

Dana Auguster, the host of the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast is back once again for the Historically Speaking NFL Matchups, where he is back to highlight the best of Pro football from back in the day.

In this mini-episode, we examine a few games that are on the NFL Schedule that are rematches of famous games from years past. This is our way of getting you ready for NFL action for the weekend.

Now if there is a theme for the games this weekend, it would be rivalry week and these four games could be considered rivalry games in one form or fashion.

Two of them are long standing rivalries that are part of the firmament of the History of the league. The first that were are going to talk about is the feud between the Cowboys and 49ers now everyone knows "The Catch" and the many instances in the 1990’s they met for the NFC title.

But the game that will be highlighted is a playoff game from the early 1970s that saw the Cowboys erase a 17-point deficit by a "back-up" quarterback to hand the Niners another postseason defeat.

The second is a rivalry that started in the American Football League and it was appropriate that these two teams would meet in the very last AFL Championship game before the AFL and NFL would merge in 1970.

About a week before the final AFL title game there was a NFL playoff game that started one of the great postseason rivalries that dominated the decade of the 1970’s in the NFC.

And finally, one of the oldest games that we will talk about, and it is still considered one of the biggest blow outs in NFL History.

To contact the show, you could e-mail us at Historically.Speaking.Sports@gmail.com

One of them is a playoff game from the early 1990’s that featured possibly the most memorable touchdown run in this Hall of Fame running back's career and was his team's first postseason win in over 30 years.

We will also talk about another playoff game, this one from the 1970’s that saw this team, led by a popular head coach finally lead his team to a Super Bowl after several disappointing finishes.

The third game is perhaps one of the most famous regular season games ever.

To give you an idea how famous this game was, take this into account, the coach of the losing team stated afterwards, "What a nightmare, it was the worst experience of my coaching career. We’re all ashamed for our people, for our fans and for our organization."

The loss was so catastrophic for this Hall of Fame coach, he was fired the next week and never coached again.

This is what is going on here on the Week Six edition of the Historically Speaking Historic Matchups here on the Sports History Network .

This week we will begin with a game that a lot of people including myself, consider as the most important game in the history of the New Orleans Saints.

Not only it was significant for the team, but after certain events that happened to the city of New Orleans, it was so important for that city.

And of course against of all teams, the Atlanta Falcons.

Speaking of important games, there was another game on another Monday night, that put another southern city on the map thanks to a Heisman trophy rookie running back that still remains as a lone star legend and also introduced a very colorful era for an NFL franchise.

Finally a pair of frigid playoffs games.

One of them features a famous play call that became the bane of that city's existence now for close to 50 years.

Then another post season game, an NFC championship game that not only saw a traditional loser reach the promise land but also closed the door on one of the NFL’s most infamous stadiums.

Moving chronologically, we have a game from the sixties that features a team that is off to a quick start here in the 2024 season. The game we will highlight was this teams first ever win in franchise history that took place in one of football’s most famous stadiums.

The game from the 70s features a pair of teams that have started  2-0 on this young season. Yet back in 1973 when these two teams faced each other, both teams were going in total opposite directions.

This game, which was a total blowout marked the end of a career for one Hall of Fame quarterback who was replaced by another signal caller that would end up in Canton who sparked a comeback that fell short.

And finally in the game from the 1980’s, we have two long time NFC rivals meeting in the playoffs for the first time ever and in a conference championship game no less.

In this short podcast episode, we will take a look at three memorable postseason games from NFL history that are part of the NFL schedule for week two.

One of the games that we will focus on is a recent super bowl that is considered one of the greatest games in Super Bowl history that featured a controversial coaching decision and one of the biggest defensive plays ever.

Also we will look at one of biggest post season upsets during the decade of the 1980s and rounding out the show will be the first ever post season game for a team that over the years would make a lot post season appearances and made a star of a little known linebacker from Louisville.

All of that on the week two edition of the Historical NFL Matchups here on the Sports History Network.

This practice has gone on seemingly since the beginning of the modern NFL. Everyone has an opinion including myself.

In this episode, we will take a look back at some predictions that were made by analysts on who would end up in the Super Bowl going back some 40 years.

We will go through some magazines and online articles on who were teams that were supposed to be in a particular Super Bowl and fell short while others surprised the so called experts in one way or another.

Later in the show, I will reveal my predictions for the upcoming NFL season. Who knows, maybe my own predictions will be featured on someone's future podcast.

Paris. The City of Love and the capital of fashion.

Also Paris is the city of Olympic dreams this summer. Over the last two weeks the eyes of the sporting world have been fixated on the city along the river Seine and everyone for the most part have been entranced with the competition and the spectacle that we know as the summer Olympics.

In this edition of the Historically Speaking Sports Podcast host Dana Auguster looks back at the two previous Olympics to take place in Paris. The second summer Olympics in 1900 and the Eighth Summer Olympiad in the summer of 1924.

Over the years, along with fierce competition and brotherhood through athletics, the Olympics have also been known for controversy - both on and off the field of play. Later in the episode we take a dive into some of the more controversial moments in the games that include, the Ben Johnson doping scandal during the 1988 games in Seoul, the Black Power salute during the 1968 games and one of the earliest Olympic scandals which took place during the games of 1912.

Finally we will send a shout out to British runner Derek Redmond who was ultimately disqualified in his semifinal 400 meter race made him just as famous and as identifiable as the US dream team in those Olympics.

Alot like 1984 when both teams reached the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup respectively.

In this edition of the Historically Speaking Sports, host Dana Auguster will revisit the summer of 1984. That year the Boston Celtics, led by Larry Bird took on the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA finals and for the first time Bird and Magic would duel for the Larry o'Brien Trophy.

Later in the episoide, we will send a shout out to the 1974 NBA Finals.

The Boston Celtics, in thier first NBA Finals since the retirement of Bill Russell, faced off against the Milwaukee Bucks, led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson.

One of the teams that brought the NHL to the Pacific coast was the California Golden Seals along with the Los Angeles Kings. The Seals were hockey's representative in the San Francisco Bay area although they played mostly in the East Bay in Oakland.

Later in the show, in keeping with the hoops theme, we will take a look at the best rivalry in the 1990s in the NBA, Pacers and Knicks.

The Knicks and the Pacers are embroiled in a exciting seven game series currently in this years postseason. Yet the matchups between these teams in the 1990s were simply epic and incredible.

Also we will examine pro sports' new loveable losers, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

It is hard to believe that a team that has as much history as the Maple Leafs haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1967. This episode takes a look at English-Speaking Canada's favorite team and how it compares to other teams in the mist of championship droughts in other leagues.

To conclude the show, we will send a shout out to the first round of the 1999 Western Conference playoffs between the Utah Jazz and the Sacramento Kings.

Back then the first round of the NBA playoffs was best three-out-of-five series and it was between an established NBA power and a team that came out of nowhere and became in subsequent years, one of the most popular and exciting teams in the league.

The series itself was an absolute classic, one of the best over the last 30 years. And it was in the first round.
