Well, well, well, remember when the Milwauke Bucks were off to a horrible start to this season? Fast forward a couple of months and we get to see Giannis dominating the paint, Lopez in great defensive form, and Dame Time showing up with perfect timing from beyond the arc to overwhelm Oklahoma City's league leading turnover margin and walk away in the fourth quarter for a win in the 2nd annual mid-season tournament! But, despite our hometown victory, does anyone really care about the NBA Cup?

And surprise surprise, the MLB hot stove season has lead to more talent being traded away from the Brewer's due to high costs of retaining baseball's best bats and arms, but are we doomed to remain a develop+dimiss enterprise? Thankfully we have special guest host Hebrew Hammer on the show this week to walk us through all of the trade talk and rumors happening across the big show's offseason this winter.

Plus how could we forget about something happening for the first time in the history of our show, a 12 team college football playoff! So we'll preview all of the first round playoff games with predictions and statements on which matchups are the most intriguing, let's goooooooo!!!

At long last the first ever 12-team college football playoff bracket has been set and released for us all to debate over, except there really isn't much to disagree with regarding who was left out vs who was accepted into the tourney. Instead, the current preferences for conference champions earning a bye week has caused consternation for those who think top seeds deserve the easiest path, but Black and White James will delve into all of the details!

But somehow this historical expansion of the collegiate post season isn't the only historic event happening this week with 6x Super Bowl Champion Head Coach Bill Belichick shocking the entire football world by deciding to take a job leading the University of North Carolina football team! Wow! So buckle up while we discuss the pros vs cons of such a bold career move, and take bets on how long it takes before Chapel Bill drops out of college! Let's goooooo!

Absolutely shocked! The entire world was counting out the Wolverines in this year's version of "The Game" going up against an Ohio State team literally built by millions of dollars and hyped across the nation as a contender for the College Football Playoff championship, but somehow someway Michigan marched into the Horseshoe of Columbus and walked away victorious for the 4th straight time in this rivalry series, wow! But Thanksgiving delivered far more than leftovers for folks, with TONS of football drama taking place throughout the week - da Bears find yet another way to lose at the last second by failing to manage the clock, Georgia gets pushed around by Georgia Tech for 8 overtimes, and MNF is graced by the full Jameis Winston experience.Tune in folks, White James has plenty to share about how to improve the current CFP format and Black James has plenty of thoughts about the state of gamesmanship following a weekend filled with brawls and fisticuffs. Lets gooooooo! Visit us at https://www.blackannndwhite.com/

What a wild weekend in football, we saw three SEC teams lose when it mattered most, and we saw Indiana make crucial self-defeating mistakes when it mattered most against Ohio State, so Black James has plenty to ponder as the 2024 regular season of college football draws to a close across Thanksgiving weekend, wow! But stick around because that means White James has a full slate of recommended basketball and football matches to watch in between your first, second, and fourteenth helping of stuffing this holiday weekend, let's goooo!

Look who snuck back into the Midwest, calm down folks Black James is back on the pod to recap his trip to NYC with White James, who himself has some big new to share consider his entrance into the transfer portal, uh oh! But don't worry folks, the pod is sticking together because we have a lot to discuss regarding the current controversy of college football playoff predictions trying to balance the look of Indiana against the record of Georgia. Then we review the ugly yet bodacious Packer victory against Chicago last week, and preview the treacherous matchup against our foes San Fransisco who are headed to Lambeau Field this weekend. Get ready folks, the football season is coming into focus!

Then of course White James will update us on the big rivalry game between the Bears and Packers this weekend, can Love+company keep up the winning streak against the team down south? Plus we continue to monitor the Bucks situation, can Milwaukee maintain any strength in the east or is it time to consider wild trade options?? Tune in folks, let's goooo!

We got some very unexpected results this past Tuesday...from the College Football Playoff committee! For the first time in history the field of play has expanded from four to twelve teams, so White James and Black James begin to predict how much of the field will be stuffed with B1G Ten and SEC teams versus the rest of the saturday league. And unfortunately the results last Sunday were of no surprise with the Detroit Lions continuing to dominate in Lambeau of all places, so we need to take a step back and wonder if they're doing something better than us, instead of playing the blame game, otherwise the NFC North will be lost forever. But that won't stop White James from reconsidering the blame he put upon coaching for the Bucks horrific record to start the NBA season, maybe just maybe the personnel needs to be replaced, they did great in the recent past but time has caught up with them.

At the time of posting, Black James would like to extend an immense congratulations to the LA Dodgers for winning this year's World Series in dominating fashion. It's always nice to see a team with a history of victory live up to the hype...unlike Wisconsin football continuing to find ways to give away games this season, or the Bucks already looking like a listless shiip mere days into the new NBA season. But it's okay, White James is going to make some bold upset predictions about the upcoming weekend of college basketball, and Black James makes mid-seasons projections on multiple NFL team's chances to reach the playoffs (or beyond, spoooooooky!).
