Hi, I'm Stephen Fatsus, the author of Word Freak and a few seconds of panic and this is Hang Up and Listen for the week of December 30th, 2019.

On this week's show, Spencer Hall of Banner Society will join us to discuss the Major College Football Semi-final Games,

LSU's Irradiation of Oklahoma, and Clemson's VAR and Bad Coaching Assisted win over Ohio State.

We've got an extended interview with Matthew Goodman,

the author of The City Game, a new book about the point shaving scandal

that rocked college basketball 70 seasons ago and remains relevant today.

And finally, we'll blow the final whistle on the 2010s

by discussing our and thanks to an outpouring of replies on Facebook,

your favorite sports moments of the decade.

Josh Levine is Slate's national editor and the author of The Queen.

He comes to us from New Orleans.

Because where else would LSU's number one fan have been for the

NCAA Division 1 football bowl subdivision semi-final chick-fil-a peach ball than New Orleans

except of course for at the game, which was in Atlanta or perhaps in

Baton Rouge where LSU is.

Congratulations, Josh.

Thank you, Stephan, but I'm not a fan.

I'm a dispassionate journalist.

And I'm always in a notional press box,

so I never cheer for anything.

Never experienced joy.
