The Skinny on Sports

$10 Menu

It’s Garrison Financial Friday, and we’ve got a packed show breaking down the business and buzz of sports. We’re looking at the massive economic impact of the NCAA Tournament in OKC, and what that number could explode to when the Final Four hits Indianapolis. Plus, what does $10 actually get you to eat at The Masters? On the court, we dive into the Sweet 16 from last night, including a head-scratching moment from Fred Hoiberg, a wild stat out of the Arizona game, and whether this could’ve been the final ride for Kelvin Sampson. And we wrap it up with a look at Opening Day results across Major League Baseball as the new season gets underway.

2026 MLB Preview

The Oklahoma City Thunder take a hit in Boston as the NBA storyline heats up, while the Houston Rockets land on the wrong side of history with a record they’d rather forget. We roll through a full Major League Baseball season preview, breaking down division winners in both leagues, wild card picks, Cy Young and MVP favorites, plus our Championship Series matchups and World Series winner. Then it’s all eyes on NCAA Tournament action as the Sweet 16 tips tonight. Which result would shock you the most? And one more twist… is North Carolina’s next head coach still coaching in this tournament right now?

Heads Carolina Tails Kansas

We start with high school baseball, breaking down results from yesterday and who’s heating up early this season. Then to the college ranks, where Ryder Cowan comes up just short in a playoff, but still makes a strong statement for Oklahoma Sooners men's golf. In college hoops, the coaching carousel is already spinning as Hubert Davis is out at North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball. That opens the door to a bigger question, could Bill Self be next at Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball? And if both jobs were open at the same time, what’s the football equivalent of that kind of chaos? We debate which job you’d actually want, Carolina or Kansas, and what makes each one elite. Then we wrap with March Madness, ranking the final 16 teams left in the NCAA Tournament.

The Coliseum

Spring sports are heating up across Western Oklahoma, and we’ve got plenty to dive into. From strong starts in baseball and slow-pitch softball to a notable streak coming to an end in Elk City, we break down what we’re seeing early in the season and which teams are standing out. In the NBA, the Thunder stay red hot with 12 straight wins and get a boost with J-Dub back in the lineup. We talk about OKC’s biggest question mark heading into the playoffs, what to expect from a young San Antonio squad getting their first taste of postseason basketball, and just how wide open the Eastern Conference really is. Plus, a cool moment from Texas Rangers spring training.

March Chaos

March Madness is already delivering chaos. We break down the best games so far, the biggest surprises, and which teams are actually for real. Plus, a look back at our brackets, what we nailed, what completely blew up, and the one pick we’d take back if we had a mulligan. We also preview the best matchups coming up this week as the tournament heats up. Then we shift to the NBA. J-Dub returns for the Thunder in Philly as OKC faces a brutal final stretch. Can they hold on to the 1 seed, and how many wins will it take to lock it up?

RIP Chuck Norris

It’s Garrison Financial Friday and we’re diving into the madness. From the massive money being wagered on March Madness to dreaming up the ultimate Masters Champions Dinner menu, we’ve got it all. We break down early tournament chaos, including a few upsets and one that almost shook everything, plus a look at how our brackets are holding up. The Huskers showed out in OKC, and we’re scanning the slate for the best games ahead this weekend.

40/20 Rule

We start with a look at Rory’s Masters menu, then dive straight into the madness as March Madness tips off. Breaking down early matchups, surprise teams, and whether SMU really earned their spot, plus Skinny admits where he missed on Miami (OH). In the NBA, the Thunder keep rolling and Jared McCain continues to be must-watch. We also break down the 40/20 rule and what it means for contenders this season. Then it’s a look ahead to college football. Which teams are ready to crash the playoff, who could make their first appearance, and which programs are primed for the biggest jump this year.

March Madness and a Shoe

Last night was EVERYTHING baseball needed. USA vs Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic came down to the wire. Now the question is simple… can baseball carry this kind of energy into the regular season? Plus, the Oklahoma City Thunder keep rolling, even with Alex Caruso losing a shoe. And it’s bracket time. We go region by region through the NCAA Tournament, picking favorites, calling out potential Cinderellas, and locking in our Final Four and national champion.

First Four

March Madness is here and we’re diving all the way in. From Nate Oats and the big question around Alabama and Holloway, to where the NCAA Tournament still ranks among the best events in sports, we’re breaking it all down. Are you riding one bracket or spreading the risk? Plus, we pick the double-digit seed most likely to crash the Sweet 16 and call out the top teams on upset alert. Then we switch gears to the World Baseball Classic. Why are these international showdowns hitting so hard right now? And what about ABS challenges coming to the game, are they a win or not? Brackets, chaos, global baseball, it’s all here.

Brackets and Blowouts

High school hoops just wrapped up with a level of dominance we honestly haven’t seen before. We’ll talk about the teams that ran the table, the atmosphere at the State Tournament, and whether the Coliseum really was big enough for all that action. Plus, with spring sports around the corner, we’ll share what we’re most excited to watch this season. Then we jump into college basketball as the NCAA Tournament bracket is set. The Sooners end up the first team out, and we’ll talk about the decision surrounding Porter Moser and what it means moving forward. We’ll also break down which bracket looks like the toughest road, which one feels wide open, and some dream matchups we’re hoping to see as March Madness unfolds.
