  • The Seahawks Went Down to Georgia

  • KENTUCKY UPSET EDITION feat. Trazarien White

    And it just happened to be the program with the greatest tradition in college hoops.
    Bill, Hunter and Brant break down the Seahawks' incredible gameplan, a huge night for Trazarien White and what this win means for the UNCW program.
    Trazarien joined us by phone for a minute, too!

  • Podcast Gold and Fun Facts with Mike Vaccaro
    A little long, but that's because there's a lot to learn about UNCW play-by-play man Mike Vaccaro!
    We start by reviewing the Fort Myers trip in detail, including Mike's unique courtside perspective and spending time with the team.
    After a quick preview of ECU, the conversation turns toward Mike's reflections on his career, from his time as a student manager for the Syracuse football program to working at Campbell, then finally landing in Wilmington in 2004.
    Mike shares memories on his favorite Seahawk moments, players and teams along with some perspective on how media has changed around college athletics.

  • The Duality of Florida
    In a matter of 24 hours, the Seahawks got the full Florida experience — a truly magical day in a beautiful place (Murray State) followed by something so incredibly strange (Appalachian State) that the headline seemed like a typo.
    With the Fort Myers Tip-Off behind us and a matchup with Florida Gulf Coast to come on Saturday, Bill and Brant touch on:
    - The defensive issues are pretty clear at this point. Is there a fix?
    - Explaining the stretch that changed Tuesday's game.
    - Transition troubles and why pressing probably isn't the answer right now.
    - A recent history of bounce-back games, including the famous 2021 Jacksonville loss.
    - An incredible team effort + win on Monday that will unfortunately be overshadowed.
    - The one thing they'd like to see on Saturday vs. FGCU.

  • Threes and O! (and D, too)
    With the Seahawks off to a 3-0 start, Bill and Brant get into UNCW's ridiculous offensive firepower last week, plus a look ahead to what awaits in Fort Myers.
    They'll also touch on:
    - Donovan Newby's value beyond the box score.
    - Microwave scorer Nolan Hodge.
    - Shykeim Phillips will be your CAA Defensive Player of the Year
    - Eric Van Der Heijden is back! Where does he fit in?
    - What's wrong with Charleston, and can it be fixed?
    - A rough start for #CAAhoops.

  • Pickled the Olive, Onward to Asheville
    Perchcast is back for the 2023-24 men's basketball season!
    In our return episode, Uncle Bill and Brant discuss UNCW's season-opening win over Mount Olive, what KJ Jenkins means to the Seahawks and the wealth of offensive talent on the roster.
    Then, it's time to look ahead to Saturday's matchup with Big South favorite UNC Asheville and dynamic scorer Drew Pember. We'll likely get a good look at one of UNCW's biggest strengths in this one.

  • Let's Run it Back! - April 7, 2023
    Kyle and I had been talking about starting a podcast for a while, so we figured the big 'Run it Back' announcement would be a good time for the revival.
    In this episode, we hit a quick rundown on the 2022-23 basketball season, what the return of Amari Kelly (and almost all of his teammates) means for the Seahawks next season.
    Also, we touch on the transfer portal, where UNCW can find the most value and how the rest of the CAA sets up at the moment with rosters far from complete. (Drexel seems like a good pick, though.)

  • Baseball Preview 2022
    UNCW Baseball Coach Randy Hood stops by to preview the 2022 Seahawks, which feature several key returners while breaking in a new pitching staff.
