Quarter Circle Backboard: Recent Episodes
Chris Mitchell
Hi, I'm Chris! Don't you hate it when you're listening to sports shows and not once do they ever talk about video games? Behold, Quarter Circle Backboard! It's a solo show dedicated to the sports that you like and the video games that I like coming to you live every Thursday at 10am CST on KCOU 88.1fm and kcou.fm. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing(?)
Friend of the show Nabil Azzouzi hops on the mic to talk about the regular season finale of the NBA and the first round of the playoffs. Who's got the most upset potential? Who's gonna cruise to the second round? Tune in to find out
SPORTS ARE BACK. AT LEAST FOR NOW. ALTHOUGH THAT'S ALSO KINDA ON SHAKY GROUND. Friend of the show and PFF's own Matthew Terry stops by QCB to talk about how the different sports are handling the pandemic, what's working and what's not working, and to talk a little bit of shop about wrasslin'. After the break another KCOU legend and friend of the show Trent McCrae hops on the mic to talk about the FGC Roundtable, the state of the fighting game genre, and the games he's been getting into during these quarantine hours. It's a beefy episode so strap in.
NEW SHIT HAS COME TO LIGHT, MAN. As American sports try to get themselves up and going, friend of the show Josh Neighbors hops on at the top of the episode to talk about how confident we are in any of these leagues actually starting in 2020 and how good we think Cam Newton might be on the Patriots. The last 90 minutes are dedicated to that pure uncut gamer talk with frequent guests Andy Mitchell and Brian Woods. I honestly didn't think we would go on recording for that long but here we are anyways. Enjoy this extra beefy episode while we wait and see if we actually get some more sports and video game content to talk about.
BACK AT IT AGAIN FOR ROUND TWO. Once again Quarter Circle Backboard is back to do your favorite team's GM's job for them. Who needs a big stupid complicated draft board and scouts when you have experts like friends of the show Andy Mitchell, Zach Berman, and first timers Nabil Azzouzi and Carson Jenkins? It just doesn't get any better than that partner, that's why we've tried to tap into the minds of every front office in the NFL, and it only sometimes went ass-up. Woohoo!
Behold, the first episode of QCB brought to you live from...my closet, I guess. Friend of the show Andy Mitchell hops on to try and break down what little has happened in the world of sports since the last time we recorded in KCOU studios. I might take this opportunity to mess around with the format of the show just to see what sticks. We'll see what happens.
I don't actually talk about the Heat much this episode. In fact there's more baseball talk this episode than Heat talk. And that's major.
The XFL is here! We get ten more weeks of football, guys! Is the football actually good? Does it matter? Plus some EVO news and NBA trade deadline chatter.
AT LONG LAST THE BOYS REUNITE TO TALK ABOUT THEIR FAVORITE MOVIES OF THE YEAR/DECADE! What will be their best picture of the decade? Peep this extra long and extra good episode of QCB to find out.
The National Title Game is tonight! Mike Leach is in the SEC! The NFL playoffs are crazy! Battlefront 2 is actually good! A lot happened over the one month hiatus so strap in and enjoy the season premiere of QCB!
Whoo buddy if you didn't think the past five or so Iron Bowls had enough action, have you tried smashing them all into one? That's what this year's Iron Bowl was, and it's probably one of the best ones ever(?) Plus we got more crazy bowl happenings and coach firings and all that good stuff
This was a week of reckonings this week in college football as we had two (2) matchups involving undefeated teams, so you already know something's gotta give.
Got a pretty well-rounded episode this week, featuring IR stints, head coach firings, and DLC for Super Smash Bros. Catch the action!
QCB is back on Sports Saturday and, like last time, Chris isn't alone! Friend of the show Andy Mitchell hops on to chat about the biggest games on Saturday plus some previews of the NFL slate. Good times!
That's right, everybody! QCB fell on Halloween this year so you know what that means? Experience a genuine house of horrors featuring Ohio State not squandering their incredibly talented defense, private equity firms slicing and dicing media outlets, and the Kansas City Royals hiring Mike Matheny! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
When you're a program with College Football Playoff aspirations like Georgia, the worst thing you can do is lose to a mediocre conference opponent that they weren't too plussed about winning, either. Please Richt responsibly.
Playoff baseball fever is sweeping the nation, folks. So much so that I spend roughly the first ten minutes of the show talking about how crazy the NLDS was. Enjoy it while it lasts because baseball talk's about to get super rare.
SEPTEMBER IS OVER. For this week's ep we dive into the last September matchups of the football season, plus some California legislature and some bold NBA predictions
It's an extra-special jumbo Sports Saturday Edition of QCB this time around. Special guest Kyle Jones hops on the mic to talk about Houston/Tulane, USC thumping Utah, some fun NFL matchups, and some live Michigan/Wisconsin takes. Woohoo!
Iowa/Iowa State was an attrition-fest befitting of the rivalry's reputation. Plus Clay Helton's seat is definitely burning his cheeks, Lamar Jackson is still #good, and so is Alan Wake and Link's Awakening. Peep the new show promo and potential new intro, too 👀
ALL YOU FOOLS WHO DOUBTED LAMAR JACKSON'S CANNON ARE GONNA BE HUMBLED THIS YEAR. BOOK IT AND MARK IT. PAY RESPECTS.
Week 1 of college football was kinda a whirlwind of mess! On top of that we got some potentially good week two matchups in college football, plus NFL talk because oh yeah the NFL is back, and some fresh news coming off the latest Nintendo Direct.
We dive into some of last week's slate of college football, some matchups on the Thursday night slate and the Saturday slate, Yakuza 7, Andrew Luck hanging up the cleats, and more!
College football is back this weekend! This week we delve into Florida/Miami, Gamescom in Germany, and just wanting to play 2K
Last stop on the QCB pre-season college football preview train is the Big 12! Will Oklahoma stay on top? Or will a scrappy Texas team put the pieces together and figure out how to attain Big 12 supremacy again? Psshhh idk guess you'll have to tune in and find out
This week's episode of QCB is extra beefy, which if you ask me is very on trend for a Big Ten preview episode. Special guest Garrett Jones and I dig into some of the more important games for some of these Big 10 teams and talk about some pre-season football, the misadventures of Antonio Brown, Evolution 2019 results, E Honda, and the NCAA's "Rich Paul Rule"
SUNS OUT GUNS OUT for the third (fourth?) stop on QCB's college football preview tour. Will the Pac 12 stand a chance in terms of getting into the Playoff? Tune in to find out.
Doing one division per episode was going to take way too long so instead this episode is going to be dedicated to the entire ACC.

It's Draftsmas Eve! What better way to celebrate than to do a quick last-minute mock draft with some bat flip discourse, expensive peripheral discourse, and probably the dumbest mock draft you'll ever hear so that's how you know it's 100% gonna happen
