PeayCast

For this, the debut episode of More Than A Game, co-hosts Colby Wilson and Shaun Whittinghill discuss Andrew Luck's sudden retirement from the NFL, playing through pain, how to listen to your body and the toll it takes just to get on the field each and every week.

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!

Big week. Big, big week. Nationally-ranked Central Arkansas is coming to Fortera Stadium and the boys need your support. And while that may be the only home event, there’s plenty more to digest from soccer, volleyball and golf, including a wide-ranging discussion with Garrett Whitfield of the golf team, who discusses the expectations of a veteran team, Fortnite addictions and Stacheville ‘staches the golf team is putting together for the fall.

Audio Intro: Sloan, “Money City Maniacs”

Whitfield Intro/Outro: Drake, “Over”

Audio Outro: John Denver, “Rocky Mountain High”

Welcome to the PeayCast!

We record hours after the Govs thumped North Carolina Central in a big season-opening win at the Fort and we have reactions (good!) from Mark Hudspeth’s first win as head coach. We touch on soccer and volleyball, Tyler Rogers ascent to the Big Show with the San Francisco Giants and still more football as we peer into the future next week. Colby also tells a story of husbanding failure. Our guest (one of the greats, tbh) is Drew Dudley of the softball team, a sparkplug for a program that has become one of the best at Austin Peay and discuss, among other things, her ever-pleasant demeanor, her dad ditching her during ding-dong-ditch and her healthy fear of flying.

Audio Intro: Rush, “Tom Sawyer”

Dudley Intro/Outro: John Williams and the Boston Pops Orchestra, "Imperial March"

Audio Outro: Simple Creatures, “Thanks, I Hate It”

Welcome to the PeayCast!

Everything starts next week. Everything. Football. Soccer. Volleyball. We released a bunch of schedules in the last few weeks in advance of the return of our student-athletes. Colby and Crigger talk about that, a pair of NFL prospects with Austin Peay ties and welcome in Shaun Whittinghill--the first repeat guest--to talk about a new podcast he and Colby are looking to get off the ground in the coming weeks. The 2019-20 academic year is just beginning. Get ready for a fantastic ride!

Audio Intro: Faces, "Stay With Me"

Whittinghill Intro/Outro: Lecrae, "Blessings"

Audio Outro: Blackjack Billy, "Born to Ride"

The PeayCast is back! Not officially, not really, not yet. But soon. Very soon. So we took the opportunity to introduce our new cohost, Casey Crigger, talk about some late-summer developments around Austin Peay and interview Kentel Williams, a preseason All-American heading into his senior season on the gridiron for the Govs. Our first on-campus event is less than a month away!

Welcome to the Peaycast!

With Colby flying solo, we bring you an update on everything that's happened around Austin Peay since the end of the academic calendar, including baseball, softball and track at the OVC Championships and myriad coaching hires to watch for in the upcoming year.

Welcome to the Peaycast!

An exhausted Bobby Head showed up on little sleep for this week’s episode to talk a little about his vision (poor), hitting his first career homer at Clemson (awesome) and his sports fandom (befuddling). Dylan and Colby wax poetic on tennis’ watch ending for the 2019 season, Parker Phillips mashing homers and look ahead to track and softball championship weekends.

Head Intro/Outro: Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, “Old Town Road” (Remix)

We lament our failures in GoT deaths, discuss the NFL Draft and the ESPEAYS and spend a lot of time (but somehow, probably not enough) on the 22-0 OVC Champion women’s tennis program. Natalie Schilling is this week’s guest—she’s a really good guest, too. Stay past the end music for a Very Special Natalie Story.

Audio Intro: Oasis, “Wonderwall”

Schilling Intro/Outro: Blac Youngsta, “Booty” (Instrumental version)

Audio Outro: Vince Gill, “One More Last Chance”
