Against the Grain

Last year we never would've thought that we'd end up talking so much about hockey, but lo and behold! We also preview the upcoming World Baseball Classic and give our Owls their flowers as Swim and Dive wins their second consecutive American Conference championship and the Rice women's basketball team wins their 20th game in a row headed into the final stretch of the season. Tune in next Saturday at 9 AM to KTRU 96.1 FM for another episode of Against the Grain!

We sure do! Whether it's ski jumping, curling, the NBA tankathon, or MJ and the alleged dollar hot dog night at Rice baseball, there's plenty to talk about this week on Against the Grain. As the final weekend of the Olympics approaches, we broke down the biggest storylines and results from sports you may not have even known existed. Rice Women's Basketball goes on the road looking for their 19th straight win, and resident hoops experts David, Garret, and Fox generate their best plan to save the NBA. Stay tuned every Saturday at 9 AM on KTRU 96.1 FM for more sports news from Rice, Houston, and the world!

Do your local Whataburger employees know your name? Here at Against the Grain, they absolutely do! Today, we break down an NBA trade deadline chock-full of moves. Are people sleeping on Jared McCain to the thunder? Should you be sound-asleep on the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade? Is Grand Theft Alvarado 6 going to drop this year? We answer all these questions and take guesses at who the absolute worst front office in the league is.

If you weren't aware, there is a football game happening this Sunday. We deep dive the Gatorade color that will be dumped on the winning coach and whether we'll see heads or tails in the coin toss. We also mention Drake "Drake Maye" Maye and the ginger to end all gingers, Sam Darnold. Tune in for another episode of Absolute Cinema!

Going forward, we'll still be airing live on KTRU 96.1 FM, but our time has moved to 9 AM. I repeat, we're broadcasting live every Saturday at 9 AM. There will be no episode next week due to midterm recess, but we will be back on February 21st! Follow us @KTRU.sports on Instagram to stay in the loop!
