About this Episode
Coral Gables, Hattiesburg, Omaha.
The site seems to make no difference to the red-hot Ole Miss Rebels, who have now won seven NCAA Tournament games, mostly by lopsided scores. The Clevelands caught up with Mike Bianco, Tim Elko and Hunter Elliot to talk about the Rebels’ latest and most important conquest, the Monday night victory over Arkansas, which kept Ole Miss in the winners’ bracket and sent the Razorbacks to the losers’ bracket. Ole Miss is now three victories away from a national championship.

And then there were two, the Chiefs and the 49ers…
The Clevelands recap the NFL conference championship games and look ahead to the Super Bowl, plus some college basketball thoughts. Father and son agree on two things: Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the game, and all the fuss about Taylor Swift is comical.

Smash-mouth football rules the day as Michigan claims national championship.
Most college football teams play an offensive style that pundits have started calling basketball on grass. They spread the field, go fast, and throw it constantly. But Michigan showed Monday that old school smash mouth football, on both sides of the ball, still can win games and championships. The Michigan offensive and defensive lines mauled Washington. The Clevelands also discuss the Saints winning – and losing – on the same day and a promising college basketball season in Mississippi.
