New name, same great content! On the first re-branded Gauer Hour with Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce, they go in-depth on all of the high-major conference tournaments, pick winners for each (shockingly, they had very similar picks, because they always do). And they detail how the injuries to Elizabeth Kitley, Mackenzie Holmes and Molly Davis impact their respective teams as their statuses for this week and beyond remain unknown.

THERE'S A LOT HAPPENING THIS WEEK IN COLLEGE SPORTS! Weekend #3 on the diamond is in the books - Texas got smacked, LSU and Vanderbilt returned to form, while Arkansas, Texas A&M, Alabama and Wake Forest held serve, and UC Irvine crept their way into this week's Top 25. Kyle Schassburger and David Kahn break down all the action, brainstorm the best nickname for baseball's potential next home run king in Georgia Tech freshman, Drew Burress, discuss which rivalry is more HEATED (Clemson-South Carolina or Florida-Miami), and update their Power 10. Plus, Kahn educates us all on the history of college baseball's strikeout king, Buddy Schultz, and both boys give a shoutout to Michael Surber for shredding his show over the weekend before detailing where they will be calling games this week. It's a packed 60 minutes on Dugouts, Dumbbells & Dingers!

Sleep later. It's March, and we've got a ton to get to. All of the high major conferences have their regular season champs already, so our weekend focus is on bubble teams - who NEEDS a win, who could use a win, who can get away with a loss? Her Hoop Stats' Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce break it down, plus break down the final top-16 reveal by the NCAA Tournament selection committee and react to the news of Caitlin Clark's impending departure to the WNBA. And we have a guest! Ohio State HC Kevin McGuff jumps on to talk about the red-hot Buckeyes before they head to Iowa City on Sunday for a top-10 showdown with the Hawkeyes.

How about a power-hour Leap Day show for your listening pleasure? Hartzell and Norlander bring the gas for 65 minutes and help set up a legit A+ weekend of hoops coming down the line this weekend. There is plenty to discuss from the mid-week games, including some heroic performances from RJ Davis, Reed Sheppard, and Dalton Knecht (with sound), plus some Guster and Phish talk in Now Spinning.

And oh yeah, turns out Kyle Filipowski's knee is just fine.

The 2nd weekend on the diamond featured one of the more dominate pitching performances we've ever seen. But Arkansas & Oregon State weren't the only ones exchanging haymakers Friday night as ECU & North Carolina delivered all weekend long. This week on Dugouts, Dumbbells, & Dingers, Kyle Schassburger & David Kahn take inventory of the entire weekend, provide their Power 10 in 3D, hat tips, dudes and scan the upcoming Lineup Card that features even more heavy hitters in the midweek and this weekend.

Plus, Joe Healy from D1Baseball.com stops by to discuss Virginia's triumph at the Jax Classic, Brian Green's pledge to put Wichita State back on the map, Auburn's balance, & Iowa's bullpen issues. And, Joe decides whether or not all these showcase tournaments prior to league play are good or bad for the game. And, was Healy as big a wrestling fan as the D3 crew?

And of course, Schass gives us a tase of his freestyling affinity for Love is Blind.

So ... yeah, we're going to talk court storming to start the show. When Duke is involved, the story takes on a different type of life, so Norlander and Hartzell talk Deacs and Devils for the first 20 minutes. Terrence Oglesby from Field of 68 and CBSSN hops on to give his takes, plus a surprising detour into some heavy MWC discussion. A lookahead to the weekday games of note, plus our first Walter Sobchak drop of the season (just in time for March). You love to see it.

If you're a ranked team in college basketball, odds are you're playing a road game this weekend against someone who's unranked. It could be a wild next couple of days on the hardwood, and we got Hartzell & Norlander to recap what was and preview what's coming. Evan Miyakawa - of EvanMiya.com fame - joins the show to talk analytics and expand on how his site emphasizes the players (and lineups) on the floor and not just the team. Fascinating stuff from one of the smarter guys in the sport. Plus Super Bowl predictions on the way out (spoiler: we got a consensus pick).
