Episode 25 - Old Foes Meet on CFB's Biggest Stage

We're back after a layoff and ready to chop it up about Atlanta sports. This week, we're joined by Jack Gale, a friend of the show and big time NBA follower to give our way-too-early awards and postseason predictions and to discuss the Hawks hot start through the early part of the season. 

In the first episode of the fall, Isaiah gives the season outlook for the Dawgs before previewing Saturday's Top-10 matchup with Oregon and its implications fo the upcoming season.  Be sure to tune in next week for The (40Forum)'s Fantasy Football Special + we'll take a look at the Falcons ahead of their season opener and update you on the Braves in the midst of the NL East Pennant Chase.

At the start of an eventful NBA Free Agency period, the Hawks land a massive addition to their squad for the upcoming season. Isaiah discusses this, as well as other moves the Hawks could consider to help improve the roster. He also discusses the drama in Brooklyn as two of their stars have requested trades and looks into how the Hawks could potentially land one of the disgruntled superstars.

This week, Isaiah breaks down what's gone right during the Braves 14-game winning streak and gives the keys to the team's summertime turnaround. Then, he dives into the NBA Finals before giving his Game 6 prediction and peeking into the Hawks draft interests next week.

Eric Gould joins the show this week to talk about the Hawks offseason and discusses different scenarios the team could explore to upgrade its roster. And in the second half of the show, Isaiah and Eric react to the Falcons' offseason thus far and give predictions for the upcoming season with a host of new blood on both sides of the ball.

To kick off the show, Brice Lewis joins to discuss the Hawks recent hot streak and tells what they must do to keep rolling through the All-Star Break and get firmly back into the playoff conversation. He and Isaiah also evaluate John Collins' value through the first half of the season, as well as discuss possible trade targets with the deadline nearing.  And after the break, Isaiah gives a 404 Flyover before recapping the Falcons' inaugural season under Arthur Smith, and he begins discussing what the team's offseason may look like.

For the first time in 41 years, the University of Georgia Bulldogs are College Football's National Champion, and we're breaking down the National Championship victory over Alabama in the first half of the show. And later, Isaiah jumps into the Atlanta Hawks struggles and takes a stab at finding the solution to get this team back on the right track and into playoff discussions.

Happy New Year!
