Radio DePaul Sports Podcast

Does this episode need to be in video format? Of course not. But you know what? As this station continues to grow, we are going to try new methods to entertain and showcase what RDPS is all about.

This is one of those methods. Don't expect a ton of these in the immediate future, but except some more in the future.

Here on Radio DePaul Sports, we highlight the major sports news from the major teams in Chicago. You know, the Bulls, Bears, Cubs, Sox, sometimes even the Fire. But there are plenty of minor league teams in the Chicagoland area that are also fighting for your attention, and it's important that we highlight all the hard work they do as well.

In this edition of RDPS Chicago, Vice President and General Manager of the Kane County Cougars Curtis Haug gives us a peak inside his 30+ year career with the Cougars as well as get you excited for the upcoming 2023 season.

In the first Special episode of RDPS Chicago , we are proud to have Chicago-born PxP Announcer for the Gary Southshore Railcats and The University of Vermont Women's Basketball (As well as a big Cubs fan) Ryan Zimmerman talk with our host Brandon Bowens, about his career, the team, and what to look forward to as Opening Day for the Railcats season is just five days away!

If an alien only watched Jordan Poole highlights and not all the missed shots, they would think he was the greatest basketball player who ever lived. The same could be said about a number of NBA players, but how many young stars have the ability to learn from the best? Jordan Poole could take all the good things from Steph and be even better, you never know. Even though he is from the Bay Area, this is Chioke’s first year as a Golden State Warriors fan. (let me hear it) Bandwagon!! Booooo! Tomato! Tomato! You heard it here first, Golden State Warriors 2023 NBA Finals Champions. Watch. Top 5, Top 5!

Chioke goes over a couple notable top fives he saw from this week, then gives his own NBA top 5 and all time starting 9 for an MLB all star lineup. See if you agree with his lists on the March 31st episode of What You May Have Missed.

Chioke’s bracket was perfect for almost 3 hours of the tournament, sooooo, he is basically a March Madness expert. Kidding!  but I heard the most accurate brackets were those picked on ‘random’ this year. Since they won, maybe his coach was not upset, or maybe it was staged… but K-State’s point guard waved off his coach and threw a no-look alley oop pass to his cutting teammate who finished with a reverse slam in one of the most entertaining NCAA March Madness games ever played. The MLB isn’t back yet, but we got something we have yet to see. They play on the same team in the MLB, but in World Baseball Classic delivers something baseball fans have been dreaming of since we learned who Ohtani was. Also what if we had a basketball database created for matchups so we can see the best bets of the night? Money Glitch. Chioke gets to it all on the March 24th episode of What You May Have Missed.

Welcome back to Demon Time! This week, we are highlighting our Dance Squad. Despite what you may think, a lot of work goes into promoting team spirit for Volleyball and Basketball games here at DePaul. The dance members have worked all year long to perform at their best each and every game. This team has also completed their competitions for the year. Tune into the episode to hear about their season and how they did at nationals!

Welcome back to the first Demon Time episode of Spring quarter here at DePaul University. We're starting the quarter off by highlighting the DePaul cheer team. These athletes put in just as much time and effort as all other athletes which is why we wanted to highlight them on this episode. Their sport is nowhere near easy, actually a lot more challenging than you may think. So sit back, relax and learn about the sport of cheer from your very own cheer team.

On March 15th episode of What You May Have Missed... : As ya'll know, Chioke usually takes the mic on Fridays, but this week we had a treat. What You May Have Missed this week starts with Chioke taking a deeper dive into The Pat Bev Podcast in contrast to some of the legends of our game like Chicago’s own Kevin Garnett. Next he gives a short Spring Break PSA (god bless). After that is a 2023 NCAA March Madness tournament preview and even drops us a few of “Chi’s Locks®”. Following this, an NBA almost wrap up and some predictions of how the 2023 season is going to shake out. Lastly we go into a World Baseball Classic highlight for the ages. What a Time to Be Alive.

World Sports Roundabout is back on the pod! This episode, we deal with the most Peruvian country out there: Peru! Take special note of the host host fumbling the Peruvian Football System.

With the DePaul Basketball wrapped up, we at RDPS want to highlight some of the games that stuck with us as a station this past season.  The next game we want to highlight is a game that happened just eight days after the Villinova game. January 18th our Blue Demon's went up against the then #8 ranked Xavier Musketeers.

Xavier entered the game on an 11-game win streak that started November 30th. Meanwhile, DePaul just a close game to Seton Hall and hadn't won a game against a top ten team in January 18th, 2020 against Butler. A win would also mark first for the Blue Demons all-time against Xavier inside Wintrust Arena, the first at home since 2015, and the first time DePaul has won back-to-back games in the series against Xavier since 1973-74.

Jack Theil and Marie Kane, with James Stowell engineering, called this game.

With the DePaul Basketball wrapped up, we at RDPS want to highlight some of the games that stuck with us as a station this past season.  The first game we would like to highlight is the January 10th game against Villanova.

DePaul entered the game 7-9, with a 1-4 record in the BIG EAST. Additionally, DePaul had not won a game against Villanova, home or away, since Jan 3rd, 2008. That's a totally of 22 all-time meetings that DePaul had not won against DePaul.

Jack Theil and Marie Kane, with Ryan Hinske engineering, called this game.

It's our final Demon Time of the quarter! Our very Ryan Hinske, host of NBA Tomorrow, give a brief recap of the DePaul Men's and Women's regular season, spitting words of harsh truths and encouraging optimism for next season!

Boo! Did you miss us? Jacob and Trenton are back with a special kickoff to Season 3 with a Halloween episode before resuming the usual weekly flow of content. For once, the pair manage to stay mostly on track besides a quick detour from Halloween to Thanksgiving. In a new quiz segment, Jacob tries to trick Trenton into wrong answers while Trenton utilizes preschool-level multiple-choice tactics to his advantage. All this happens whilst the pair are climbing a building and talking about the spooky sport of buildering (except for Trenton, who was only climbing virtually because he's scared).
