Join the Starting Lineup crew as Chris Parker recounts his much-needed, completely unplugged family vacation to Disney World, sharing pro tips for visiting the parks in January. But the calm doesn’t last long, as the conversation shifts to the approaching 41st annual Bass Pro Tournament of Champions and what may be the deepest, most unpredictable field the event has ever seen.

The crew breaks down marquee matchups, national contenders, and why this year’s bracket feels primed for chaos. From headline clashes like Bartlett vs. Wheeler to elite prospects still flying under the recruiting radar, the episode explores how local programs like Kickapoo measure themselves on a national stage — and why this tournament could reshape reputations long before March arrives.
