4 Quarters Radio: November 18 4th Quarter


The fourth-quarter curriculum for November 18:
--The situations in Dallas, Minnesota, and Washington get scrutinized to determine whose is the most dysfunctional in the NFL. The "Mike Shanahan = racist" theory gets checked for holes, as well.
--Scott, Bobby, and Dylan weigh in on whether they would have extended Donovan McNabb's contract...especially for five years.
--Scott shares the official all-time ranking of Michael Vick's spit-roasting of the Redskins.
--After an unfortunate false alarm, the 4Q crew actually DOES get its first-ever listener call-in. The caller also has a comment about McNabb's past and future.
--In the Epic Fails, Dylan gets on Chiefs coach Todd Haley for leaving Josh McDaniels hanging post-game, and Bobby gets on a defensive back having the worst possible luck on a deflection. Scott's Epic Fail goes to the kicker of the Pittsburgh Steelers...well, okay, the ex-kicker of the Steelers. Also, an international soccer striker keeps the receipt and returns a gift.

4 Quarters Radio: November 18 3rd Quarter


The third-quarter curriculum for November 18:
--Bobby mans up and admits that college sports hurt his mind. This while Scott is continuing to discuss the College Hoops Marathon.
--Bobby gets the verdict from his UFC 122 picks, including a fighter feigning illness rather than go in and try to prove the MMA Authority wrong. He then delivers the new round of choices for UFC 123.
--The guys offer guesses (well, two of the three are guessing) on which NBA players are playing surprisingly well this season.
--The 2006 NBA Draft gets put under a microscope for ; just how terrible a group was selected that season.

4 Quarters Radio: November 18 2nd Quarter


The second-quarter curriculum for November 18:
--Scott and Logan discuss their definitions of excessive blowouts. (Hint: Wisconsin 83, Indiana 20 doesn't qualify.) The bigger question is why college football's system encourages blowouts.
--For a bonus, the granddaddy of all blowouts gets a mention.
--The College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon gets analyzed, and winners/losers get called out.
--The Sun Belt conference gives some postseason respect to the MTSU volleyball team, including Logan's girl Izabela. Logan offers congratulations in his own distinctive way.
--In Whodaman, Logan gives mad love to Mike Vick, and Scott suggests mad security for his Canton-bound jersey. Scott's Whodaman nominees include a QB fighting through the firing of his dad and a former NFL offensive lineman not letting paralysis stand in the way of his wedding.

4 Quarters Radio: November 11 1st Quarter


The first-quarter curriculum for November 11:
--Scott and Logan speak with North Texas beat writer Brett Vito of the Denton Record-Chronicle (Denton, Tex.) regarding the MTSU-North Texas football game.
--Brett tells the guys about the status of UNT's new coach, and how the son of the old coach is operating since his dad's firing.
--Logan's unshakeable optimism leads him to seriously ask if North Texas would overlook MTSU.
--For all MT's injury problems, UNT has them trumped, and Brett runs down the litany of aches and pains.
--Moving into basketball, Scott asks Brett to put UNT under the magnifying glass and spell out some factors that might slow the Mean Green's roll to another NCAA Tournament.
--North Texas's upcoming recruiting class gets a look, and from the sound of things, the rest of the Sun Belt should be afraid. Very afraid.
--In scoreline predictions, no one has any faith in their own teams, as Brett picks MT, and Scott and Logan pick UNT. One of the three picks an absolute blowout, no points for guessing who.
