PeayCast

It has been a whirlwind few weeks for our buddy Shaun. OVC Champion. All-OVC. Engaged to former APSU soccer player (and OG PeayCast guest) McKenzie Dixon. Friday, he adds college graduate and FCS Playoff quarterfinalist to the list. Since Shaun can't make the big walk Friday (and since no one in their right mind would ask him to give a commencement address), we spend the first half of this episode on his wild life ride over the last few weeks and the last half allowing Shaun to put his own spin on a commencement address. You will not want to miss it.

Intro/Outro: Wild, "Vagabond"

Welcome to the PeayCast!

It is December 12 and we’re still talking about the 2019 Austin Peay football season in the present tense. So this is new, as is our guest—long snapper Nic Screnock, one of myriad unsung heroes of a season no one will ever forget. All that plus hoops, track and the Mandalorian in a semester-wrapping episode.

Audio Intro: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, “Runnin’ Down a Dream”

Screnock Intro/Outro: Cascada, “Every Time We Touch”

Audio Outro: Big Tymers, “Still Fly”

Welcome to the PeayCast!

Harley Mullins of the softball team is our guest. Casey still hasn't seen The Irishman or the Mandalorian because he's too busy learning. Colby went to Arkansas. And believe it or not, we'll talk a little Austin Peay football with the Govs set for a second-round journey to Sacramento State in the FCS Playoffs.

Audio Intro: 2Pac feat. Dr. Dre, "California Love"

Mullins Intro/Outro: Mountain, "Mississippi Queen"

Audio Outro: Johnny Cash, "Tennessee Stud"

Welcome to the PeayCast!

Eschewing tradition, this is an all-football episode; given that our football team broke with tradition and is making its first-ever FCS playoff appearance, this felt appropriate. Casey and Colby break down a historic contest, look back at last week’s historic win to clinch the conference title and briefly touch on other aspects of the week. Happy Thanksgiving and looking forward to having you in the Fort on Saturday.

Audio Intro: T.I. feat. Rihanna, “Live Your Life”

Audio Outro: The Blue Stones, “Shakin’ Off the Rust”

Welcome to the PeayCast!

If, somehow, it has escaped your notice, there is a football game of massive implications occurring at Fortera Stadium this weekend. Many people (Casey) are calling it the biggest game in Austin Peay football history and there’s a pretty good chance they’re right. All the hullaballoo makes it a great time to have a member of the football program as our guest, a role which JP Batarseh fills admirably.

Audio Intro: Chuck Berry, “Johnny B. Goode”

Batarseh Intro/Outro: Childish Gambino, “Feels Like Summer”

Audio Outro: Joyner Lucas ft. Timbaland, “10 Bands”

Welcome to the PeayCast!

The Governors football team could do something it hasn’t done since 1977, and it could happen as early as this weekend. We don’t want to jinx it, but it should be noted, along with big basketball weeks and potentially a wild final weekend of volleyball. But this show centers around Maddie Morstad of the cross country team and her incredible story.

Audio Intro: The Chainsmokers, “Push My Luck”

Morstad Intro/Outro: Dominic Fike, “3 Nights”

Audio Outro: Frank Ocean, “In My Room”

Community. It's the group of people who help make you... you. For student-athletes, community comes in many forms, from teammates to academic advisors and everyone in between. There are a lot of choices for student-athletes when it comes to who they surround themselves with. How do they make the right calls?

More Than A Game is a new offering from LetsGoPeay.com which focuses on issues relevant to the student-athlete. Colby Wilson of the athletic department moves the discussion along, while Shaun Whittinghill of the football team offers the student-athlete perspective.

Intro/Outro: Wild, "Vagabond"

Welcome to the PeayCast!

No time to waste this week. It's Homecoming, UT Martin is visiting and a win would put the nationally-ranked Govs football team as the frontrunner for the OVC title. All the details, plus hoops, a swan song for soccer and cross country and Taylor Dedmen of women's golf as this week's guest.

Audio Intro: Lil' Flip, "This Is the Way We Ball"

Dedmen Intro/Outro: Fleetwood Mac, "Dreams"

Audio Outro: Third Eye Blind, "Jumper"

Welcome to the PeayCast!

I mean... it's all here now, right? Basketball regular season tips off in a couple of days, soccer and cross country are in their respective championship seasons and both volleyball and football have a lot left to play for in 2019. So too does Fabienne Schmidt of the women's tennis team, this week's guest and a player eying a repeat of last season's OVC Championship runs.

Audio Intro: Henry's Funeral Shoes, "Same Boat, Different Sail"

Schmidt Intro/Outro: Pharrell Williams, "Happy"

Audio Outro: Drake ft. Rick Ross, "Money in the Grave"

Identity. Finding it, maintaining it, cultivating it. How does a young person navigate their development of self, and how does a student-athlete stop identifying as student or athlete when the end of the road comes?

More Than A Game is a new offering from LetsGoPeay.com which focuses on issues relevant to the student-athlete. Colby Wilson of the athletic department moves the discussion along, while Shaun Whittinghill of the football team offers the student-athlete perspective.
