A Soaring Season: Aaron Bracy and the 03-04 St. Joe's Hawks

Aaron Bracy of Big5Hoops.com joins the podcast to talk about his new book, “A Soaring Season: The Incredible, Inspiring Story of the 2003-04 Saint Joseph’s Hawks!” St. Joe’s and its star guard Jameer Nelson, dubbed that year by Sports Illustrated as “The little man from the little school that’s beating everyone,” shocked the college basketball world with a 27-0 regular season record and consensus No. 1 ranking. Aaron’s book explores the perspectives, both local and national, and stories that made that season so special. The book will hit shelves March 1, but you can preorder now! Aaron also talks about this year’s St. Joe’s squad and gives an outsider’s perspective on Atlantic 10 charter member UMass’ departure from the conference and how college basketball as a whole has been impacted by these football-based decisions. Also, Meghan provides her Joke of the Week and for Maza’s Mickey Minute, Chris offers some insight on where to catch the Super Bowl while on a Walt Disney World vacation!
