I sat everywhere there was to sit in Van Andel to let you know where the best and worst places are to take in a Grand Rapids Rise game! Unfortunately, though the team is playing much better than at earlier points in the season, it was not enough as the Rise fell to Dallas at home before going on the road to Omaha where they fell to the Supernovas. What keeps you watching as the Rise find themselves squarely out of the playoff conversation? I would love if we knew who was returning next season so we could get invested in their development down the stretch of the season, but that's just how it goes in a league which is still new on the scene. Sound off and let me know what you think!

The Rise pull off a 3-1 stretch to make things slightly more interesting, but even if they continue at that pace, will it be enough? Listen to hear my thoughts about a 3rd offensive option and thoughts about the different lineups the Rise have been deploying. A special thank you to the best listeners around-- listener Tom predicted some changes!
