However, to help us get over two tough losses, Tom walks us through his 7-step therapy plan which begins with reflecting and accepting the losses. But no fear, by the end we had parked the negativity, visualized success and were setting our short-term goals. Tune in as we look ahead to the last week of the regular season, including a big road match up with Susquehanna, a celebration of our seniors on Saturday vs Moravian, and a motivational speech by Biz where he drives is all to grab Bull by the cojones!

Today’s guest might be one of the more important building blocks in the Coach Curley Juniata Era. Class of 2004, Craig Biller led the program to its first winning season in 13 years finishing with back to back records of 13-12 in his junior and senior seasons. He was a MAC All-Conference performer leading the team in scoring his final two years and graduated with 807 total points. Biller talks to the fellas about watching the cultural change of the program occurring over the course of his time at Juniata, gives his advice to next year’s squad and reflects back on the infamous “Basketball House.” All that and a shoutout to the program for earning the NABC Team Academic Excellence Awards for the 22-23 season.

After what was our most somber show of the season following two consecutive conference losses, the fellas, and the team, bounce back with a commanding win over Goucher on Saturday. But that’s just where the fun begins this week on the nations best D3 Basketball Podcast. A few great listener questions lead to Tom letting us all know exactly how he feels about the other Landmark conference team nicknames and how Coach Curley identifies potential recruits. Biz calls out the Juniata cheerleaders, pep band and students to show up in all white this week and may even do so himself in his “white tights”… O’ boy now that would be a sight we soon wouldn’t forget.

It has been an outstanding stretch of basketball for the Juniata Eagles. Nine game winning streak, including 5 straight conference wins with two this past week. The first win came Wednesday vs Susquehanna 66-53  – which oddly enough was the exact same score as the eTown game at the Palestra – and then 71-65 on Saturday vs Scranton. It begs the question, what exactly is in the water up there, Coach Curley?

In the second episode of my series on the apocalyptic, I talk to Brian Francis Slattery about his novel Lost Everything, which won the 2012 Philip K. Dick award. 

The novel follows two friends on a mission up the Susquehanna River, in an apocalyptic not-too-distant future, in which climate change and civil war have transformed the Northeast of the United States into a tropical wasteland, replete with monkeys climbing over post-industrial ruins.

Slattery and I discuss the canoe trip he took along the Susquehanna with two biologist friends to research the book; his discussions with a religious friend that helped shape the novel, which he says he wrote so that it could yield both secular and religious readings; and his work as a journalist, which provided insight into the human and material costs of war. 

We also compare notes on the apocalyptic in popular culture - why some people like it; what Slattery thinks is good (and isn’t) and the kind of mental and emotional work it faciliates.
