  • Catching up on lost time, PLL season takes, previewing San Diego Weekend
    Jun 26 2026

    We're back after a long time off!

    We're catching up and making up for lost time a bit. A few quick words on the Tewaaraton (because it's been that long), a few quick words on UVA which is messier every day, and then into the PLL.

    We spend a few minutes hashing out how the first month or so of the season has gone, and the challenges that come with schedule overlap, roster turnover, injuries, and everything else the league and fans have had to deal with in the early going. We touch on the PLL Fieldside II card set, and the mess it has become, and a few other things, before taking a positive turn.

    Then we get into this weekend's games, previewing all four matchups for Redwoods homecoming weekend.

  • Championship Weekend! PLL recaps, semifinal talk, and the keys to beating Adelphi and Tufts
    May 22 2026

    We're back! After some time off we've got a Championship Weekend episode. First, a few notes about that time off and the future of the pod and Sticks In.

    Then, we recap some of the PLL action so far. We talk about game quality with so many players missing, guys seizing opportunities, and where each team was good and needs to improve after two weeks.

    Then, it's Championship Weekend. We talk about each of the matchups. Can Duke find the depth to handle all of Princeton's threats? Can Johnston be productive against a tough matchup? Will Johnny Mullen tilt the field again? Does the winner of Lyght vs Spallina get the Tewaaraton? Can the Cuse SSDM's play their best game of the year?

    Plus, breakdowns of both the D2 and D3 title games, and the keys to upsetting juggernauts like Adelphi and Tufts.

  • Recapping the regular season and NCAA bracket talk
    May 5 2026

    The regular season is over, and it's NCAA tournament time.

    We start by looking back at the conference by conference predictions that we made before the season started. What did we get wrong, who did we miss, and what about the few things we managed to get right?

    Then, it's bracket talk. After shaming the NCAA a bit for letting it release early, we look at some of the stories. Princeton is the one seed, and it was clear by Sunday night why. Duke is in, despite the light schedule. Maryland is out for the first time in decades. UVA is as hot as a pistol, Richmond gets to host Duke, and a more resumes and games to look forward to.

    Finally, my final Top 20 until the end of the year. We had a media poll out today, I reveal how I voted.
