  Episode 28: Big 10 Preview

  Aug 18, 20261h 6m

  With only 12 days left until the kickoff of the college football season, the boys tackle the preview of the Big 10 who is looking to defend its three-peat national championship run! What would you even call that? A four-peat, four-fecta, foursome? Nothing fits just quite right, but the Big 10 will attempt it all the same. So who in the Big 10 has the best chance of being that fourth national champion. Will it be a repeat champion? Or a unique fourth champion? Will it be a favorite or a sleeper? Also, in honor of Jayden Daniels, the first four minutes ONLY were attributed to his latest battle with LSU, the playoff races are heating up as the MLB season winds down, and we begin our new tradition of checking in on the current status of the home run race. All this and more on this episode of The Coastal Launch Sports Talk.

  Episode 27: Big 12 + ACC Preview

  Aug 11, 20261h 29m

  After a few weeks off to give the MLB Trade Deadline the attention it deserved, the boys are turning their attention back to college football previews. With just 19 days remaining till the start of the college football season (at time of recording if you are lucky enough to root for a team playing in week 0), there is some catching up to do if we plan to cover all conferences by the start of the season. For that reason, this is a two conference episode as we preview both the Big 12 and ACC...and beyond that we attempt to debate the question of which conference takes that spot as the third strongest conference in the sport. Plus, the NFL preseason is underway after the Hall of Fame game between Carolina and Arizona last week, and the Rays and the Astros have carried the vibes of their trade deadline into the week that followed. All this and more on this episode of The Coastal Launch Sports Talk!

  Episode 26: MLB Trade Deadline Recap + FIFA For Sale

  Aug 5, 20261h 35m

  The MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone and it was a doozy. The evil empire got more evil, the Rays got more Ray-y, teams with hope went all in, while others with hope watched it walk out the door. We had it all and we even have accusations of Doncic-like trade behaviors. The boys have been here the last few months to prime you for the Trade Deadline and now they bring you the recap.  Also, attempts to sell FIFA off to private equity were thwarted by the resilience of European soccer fans, the Texans are making waves in training camp, and the Protect College Sports Act finds its feet to move forward.

  Episode 25: All Alone in the SEC and MLB Trade Deadline Check-In

  Jul 29, 20261h 33m

  As the SEC threatens to break away from the rest of college football, the boys imagine what that reality would look like...and they look to a shining beacon of hope coming out of Stanford, California. Maybe instead of breaking away, the sport can come together for a better governing model. Plus, the MLB Trade Deadline is mere days away and with only one series remaining before the deadline, we will tell you where we think each team should stand regardless of where they are saying they do stand. Also, LeBron James joins the Philadelphia 76ers, Macklin Celebrini becomes the highest paid player in the NHL breaking Leo Carlsson's two week chokehold on the title, and the NFL opens training camp.

  Episode 24: PAC-12 Preview and Bubblicious MLB Trade Deadline Teams

  Jul 21, 20261h 52m

  In the South, it doesn't feel anything close to like fall outside...but on the football calendar, fall lingers just around the corner! As today marks only 40 days to the kickoff of the college football season, the boys reunite to deliver their first conference preview. Join us for a look into the new-look PAC-12 who is bringing us a new look at scheduling as well. The PAC-12 isn't what it used to be but it certainly deserves more respect than what its getting. Also, we sit only two weeks out to the trade deadline and half the league still needs to figure out if they are buying or selling. We take a look at the trends surrounding 10 bubble teams and let you know if they should buy or sell. All that and more on this episode of The Coastal Launch Sports Talk!
