The first-quarter curriculum for March 25:
--If it's March, college basketball leads off the show. Logan pretends that he's a real man, while everyone else wonders how theirs went so drastically wrong.
--Kemba Walker gets some respect for beautifully camoflaging his flop against San Diego State, while the fellas wonder exactly why the West Coast can't compete in basketball anymore.
--The Ohio State/Kentucky game gets an examination from the angle of what eventually came to look like a mismatch.
--Finally, the main event: Logan Propst tears into Mike Hamilton for the Bruce Pearl and Lame Kiffin fiascos. Seriously, you must hear this. Logan wishes no harm to people or animals, but envisions a painful, fiery death for Mike Hamilton's Shake Weight.
--Meanwhile, Scott wonders where all the good, juicy recruiting violations went.
--The fellas measure some potential candidates for the Tennessee opening, and oddly, the one who actually did get hired doesn't come up.

The fourth-quarter curriculum for March 18:
--Mack's bracket gets examined as he runs and hides from comment. Logan draws a highly apt comparison to the insanity of repeatedly filling out brackets.
--Los Guys ponder the NFL lockout and note guys who are losing money and others finding ways to spend their time.
--Potential NFL rules changes get examined as well, and Scott admits to mishearing something that would strike him as a pretty good idea.
--Bobby makes his quick picks on UFC 128, including a roundabout reason for his choice between Shogun Rua and Jon "Bones" Jones.
--In the Epic Fails, Bobby and Mack both have their sides drawn in the NFL labor dispute. Logan is unsurprising in his choice, considering the source of his glum mood. Meanwhile, Scott drops the hammer on a WNBA player failing foreign relations.

The fourth-quarter curriculum for March 11:
--CBS Sports basketball blogger Matt Norlander checks in with 4QR from the Big East Tournament. He begins by waxing rhapsodic about Kemba Walker's buzzer-beater and the Big East's final four. He's not so keen, however, on Kemba's chances of strapping the Huskies to his back and driving them to Houston.
--Matt was in the arena for Refgate, and gives his perspective of when and how the story really exploded.
--Matt has a rough time picking a potential upset victim among projected top-four regional seeds, but he finally comes up with a compelling answer.
--Duke v. UNC: who's more likely to make the Final Four? Matt provides an answer to that one, as well.
--Matt throws out rationale for why Wisconsin may be as dangerous as anyone in America.
--The words "show cause" and "Bruce Pearl" get mentioned in the same sentence, undoubtedly dismaying Logan, wherever he may be.
--In the Epic Fails, the Miami Heat once again get a great deal of attention. Drew wonders what his favorite NFL player is thinking about with his offseason plans. Scott notes that the NCAA's justice is highly selective, and also that some guys need to learn when time is up.

The first-quarter curriculum for October 28:
--Scott and Logan interview Sporting News college basketball columnist Mike DeCourcy as the season draws ever closer.
--Of course, Scott has to start with Purdue and their prospects post-Hummel. Included is a stern judgment on the concept of having JaJuan Johnson explore playing further from the basket.
--DeCourcy discusses that cases like Kentucky's Enes Kanter are not without precedent. Kentucky's prospects if Kanter's found ineligible may be somewhat...un-Kentucky-like.
--Once Logan gets his mic turned on (sorry, Logan), he gets to ask Mike about the Bruce Pearl situation at Tennessee. DeCourcy's a little bit more optimistic than most, it seems.
--Mike gets heavily fired up when Scott turns the discussion toward the Sun Belt's new scheduling mandate. This is probably the most passionate you'll hear anyone about Sun Belt hoops all season, folks.
--MTSU's prospects get a cursory glance, as Mike wonders if they'll be able to beat the conference's "heavyweights."
--Mike ponders the commitment of Isiah Thomas at FIU as Scott wonders if Isiah's bosses should pull the want ads out of his morning paper.
--Scott throws out a Final Four of questions, some one-liners about UConn, Boston College, Memphis, and Florida before letting Mike roll.

The second-quarter curriculum for September 16th:
--We get to know the new intern a bit, finding out which teams we can bust his chops over.
--The MTSU soccer team's headed into a meat grinder of a weekend, and some national honors come to a Lady Raider volleyballer.
--In college football, the guys discuss Reggie Bush's Heisman and whether the Downtown Athletic Club will replace Bush's picture with a nice potted plant or something.
--Florida player Chris Rainey's aggravated stalking case comes under scrutiny as well, as Florida fans start to put the "Get 'er" in "Gator."
--A pair of SEC college basketball stalwarts are having their own issues. The troubles of Bruce Pearl and John Calamari draw some discussion. No points for guessing which one gets made fun of harder.
--In Whodaman, Scott's a bit conflicted. One of his choices makes him very happy, the other not so much. But, being the dedicated professional he is, game still recognizes game.
