A wild week to recap and another one up ahead. One golf championship down, one to go. Should we have been in the FCS Playoffs, who's to say really (yes we should have)? The Govs go for some tennis titles this weekend. Baseball postseason still hasn't come into focus, while the softball picture is shaping up nicely with the Govs near the top of the league. We discuss the Super Duper Colossal League of Extraordinary Soccer Gentlemen that ultimately didn't happen. This week's guest is Garrett Bell of the football team, with a nice fresh brace courtesy a torn labrum. He shares plenty of thoughts on podcasting tips, redshirting, offensive line cohesion and more.

Honors, awards and more this week as football gets All-OVC and Hampshire Society honors. Colby photographs some chonky sheep. Casey survived The Happy Meal Incident. Our guest is Katie Keen of the softball team, who talks entrepreneurship (that's a word I just looked up) and softball as the Govs enter another big OVC weekend.

Audio Intro: Waylon Jennings, "Good Ol' Boys"

The Nate James Era at Austin Peay is off to a rollicking start, as the former Duke associate head coach takes the reins as the 13th head man in program history. His pedigree? Unimpeachable. His goals? Lofty. His expectations? High. He sits down with Colby Wilson to talk about the importance of family, culture, his favorite memories of Durham, the Final Four and much, much more.

Hello friends. This is a fun one. We get to talk about Nate James as new head coach, discuss taking down a nationally-ranked Murray State at Fortera Stadium on Senior Day, speculate on baseball and softball and talk about what's happening down in Augusta. For a guest, Seth Johnson of the football team joins us to talk about winning titles, believing in Austin Peay and we try to join him in his minute-or-less trick of destroying a Happy Meal. It does not go well for one of your intrepid hosts.

A new era is underway for Austin Peay women's basketball with the arrival of Brittany Young, the 11th head coach in program history. A former Academic All-American at Francis Marion, Young has risen quickly in college basketball, helping Nikki McCray-Penson lead a revival at Old Dominion before spending last season at Mississippi State. She sits down with Colby Wilson for a look at her past experience, her excitement for the future and what intrigued her most about the chance to lead this program.

Young Intro/Outro: William Murphy, "The Anthem"
