In this episode, we start with last Saturday's game vs the Midwest Assailants with Coach O.  We discuss what the coaches got out of the exhibition game, and how hard it is to get a shutout like the Liberty did.

Then we move onto looking ahead to the Omaha Beef game this Saturday, their organization, and what it will take to beat them.

Finally, we sit down with newly named QB1 Evan Lewandowski.  We discuss his path from HS football to stops in Italy and Germany before ending up in Salina, KS.  You will find out all about Evan, including his pre-game ritual, his special talents, and what he thinks about Salina.

In this episode, we talk to Coach O about his offseason, transition from AF1 to NAL, and what is in store for this upcoming season!  We also discuss some of the rule differences between AF1 and NAL, and what fans can expect this year.

After Coach O, we meet the 2 new coaches, Coach Jermaine Hampton (DC) and Coach Dom Logan (OL/DL).  Wait until you hear what Coach Hampton shared with us about his high school teammates!

In this episode, Kevin and Phil discuss retirement and what is next for a fixture with Salina indoor/arena football DeWayne Autrey, and discuss what is next in life for Ballhawk.

We also sit down with Coach to discuss the end of the 2025 season and reflect on the season from the 0-4 start to the 6-1 finish.  We also discuss what the next few months look like for Coach, when he starts looking at the 2026 season, and what is next for the Salina Liberty.

We have tried all season, and in this episode Kevin and Phil finally got The REAL Coach O (Coach's Wife Nisha) on the podcast.  Find out all about Coach's wife; from what she does on Gamedays, to how she handles life as a Coaches wife, how negative media about her husband affects her, and her feelings about the game of football!

And she does give us some insiders info on things about Coach that not many people know!  Some will surprise you (pew pew)!

We also interview K Bailey Hale in this episode.  Bailey resides in OKC, so we interviewed him during the week from his home...after the first game winning kick but before the second game winner in a row.  He is on a roll!

We had so much fun on this podcast...lots of laughs and good information!

We had to wing it again due to some phone calls, so Kevin and Phil started off with Coach Martinez talking about the win against SWKS, the bus ride home, and the stellar special teams play the past few weeks.

Then we have Kerry Starks join us to talk about his journey to Salina and his plans after football, as well as the bus ride home from SWKS.  Find out who the DJ on the team is, and who brings the speakers!

Finally we have Coach O on to discuss the big win, the controversial ending and Coach's challenge that was ruled in Salina's favor, and moving forward to playing the same team in back to back weeks.  Want to know Coach's superstitions?  We cover that as well.

Lots of laughs in this one!

In this podcast, we are literally and figuratively winging it!  Take a listen, you will understand.  Not only do we talk to Coach O about the butt kicking they put on Washington and the upcoming game against SW Kansas, but we have a scheduled and a few unscheduled guests.

We start with #16 Desmon Epps and talk about his path to Salina through the Univ. of Idaho and what his future plans are.  Then we pivot to #99 Torrence Williams and what he brings to the table for the Liberty and any other football team he plays for in the future.  Lastly, we talk to #55 Torree Boyd and let him tell his story about how he quit football and what brought him back.

We never knew what was going to be thrown at us next, but we rolled with it!

This episode was a blast!   In this episode, Kevin and Phil talk to Coach O about the Billings butt whipping, upcoming game against Washington this weekend, and the changes in the team the past few weeks.  

We also finally get to interview the Equipment Manager Jimmy Stevens!  We have waited a long time for this one.  Find out what his responsibilities are, what a game day looks like for him, some of his favorite players and memories with the Salina Liberty, and what happens when he forgets something on a road trip (like coaches headsets).  He also gives us a surprise at the end!

In this episode, Kevin and Phillip sit down with Coach O to discuss the second week of the back to back bye weeks, and look ahead to the Billings game on Saturday and what is at stake.  We talk about the playoff picture, some personnel changes, and what the rest of the season looks like.

And on top of that, we have Amanda on to discuss catering for the football team!  She talks about what goes on behind the scenes to shop, prepare, and feed everyone.  If you want to know how many hams she had to make for Easter dinner for the team, this is the episode you have been waiting for!  We even have a short cameo by Malik Honeycutt to tell us what his favorite foods are that Amanda cooks for the team.

Don't listen to this episode on an empty stomach!

In this episode, Kevin is solo while Phillip is out on a cruise.  We lead off with a quick interview with QB Rakeem Cato to talk about his 300+ yard 8TD game against Albany.  Then Kevin and Coach O review the Billings and Albany games, and what the schedule looks like over the next couple of weeks with back to back byes.  We also discuss the end of the Albany game and the changes the league is making to ensure the same situation doesn't happen again.

AF1 Mid-Season Awards are out, and there are quite a few Liberty players on the list, so we discuss those players and what the awards mean.

And why do all the players that are new here like Taco John's so much?

With Kevin out this week, Phil was planning on talking to Coach O.  But Coach was busy finalizing some transactions, so Phil started the podcast interviewing players RJ Jarrett and Toree Boyd.  Then Phil talked to Coach Martinez and QB Javin Kilgo.
