PLAYER OF THE WEEK:
This week’s player of the week was Destiny Thurman. Thurman, who wears #2, plays for the women’s basketball team. She earned this week’s player of the week with her 29 point, 6 assist and 6 three-pointer outing in the team’s 84-67 win against Nevada on January 19. As the second leading scorer for the team, Thurman has immense value for the team and makes the Rams perform much better every time she steps on the court.

KCSU SPORTS QUIZ:
In this week’s edition of the KCSU Sports Quiz, the Ramblers team hosted KCSU’s play-by-play announcer Kaleb Allen. Allen scored 20/21 on the quiz, answering every question besides “How many teams are there in MLS?” correctly. Allen is now officially in first place on the Sports Quiz Leaderboard.

GREATEST (DEBATE) SHOW ON TURF:
This week, your hosts debated the topic: Are there too many swimming events? DJ Webz debated that there are too many swimming events while Eliza debated the opposite. DJ Webz brought up that there are 20 different swimming events at the Olympics, arguing that it is unfair that swimming gets that many while sports such as basketball only get the one event. Eliza argued that each event is valuable and if there’s too many swimming events, that would also mean there’s too many track events. Eventually, they winded down and DJ Webz admitted that he lost the debate.

RAMBLERS CHOICE (ELIZA):
For Eliza’s Ramblers Choice segment this week, the two Ramblers hosts talked through a top 25 list of sports movies. The two talked about movies like Rocky, A League of Their Own, Remember the Titans and Hoop Dreams. They talked about how the sports movies in the list impacted them and how they feel about sports movies in general.

RAMBLERS CHOICE (DJ WEBZ):
For DJ Webz’ Ramblers Choice segment, the hosts started a new long-term segment called Fantasy Draft. In this segment, the two “draft” their own five-player teams of a category of living things, objects, concepts or something other than sports players. This week, the two had a pool of all animals to draft from. Eliza’s team was made up of the tiger, a soft-shell turtle, the platypus, the honey badger and the red slider turtle. A very diverse and agile group of animals. DJ Webz went with a team consisting of the killer whale, the grizzly bear, the silverback gorilla, the peregrine falcon and the arctic wolf. The two agreed that the teams would be parts of their own water polo teams. They also concluded that it is likely that the killer whale would probably squish the opposing team if they were in any man-made pool.

The Ramblers show is live every Thursday from 7-9 p.m. More information on all-things KCSU sports can be found here.
