STATE of Atlanta - Discussing Georgia State Sports

David, Ryan, and Tim break down the newly released Sun Belt basketball schedule before turning to Georgia State football’s 2026 home game promotions—and debating whether some of them actually qualify as “themes.” From ’90s throwbacks and Boo & Brew to tailgating plans, old Panther logos, and Ryan spending his birthday talking schedule, the guys get dangerously close to football season.

David, Ryan, and Tim kick off the 2025 Georgia State football season with a realistic look at what Panther fans should expect. From preseason win predictions and national rankings to the new Centennial merchandise collection, the guys debate whether this team can outperform expectations—even if nobody is drinking quite as much blue Kool-Aid as last year.

Along the way, they discuss ticket promotions, travel plans for UCF, and plenty of the usual STATE of Atlanta off-topic detours. If you’re wondering why Georgia State might surprise people this fall, this is the episode for you.

Plus, they hit Georgia State basketball scheduling, realignment chatter, college football player unions, and, naturally, take a few shots at Georgia Southern along the way.

David, Ryan, and Tim react to Georgia State being picked last in the Sun Belt preseason poll before diving into a bigger question: what keeps Panther fans coming back year after year?

The guys share how they each became Georgia State fans, discuss the unique “Panther Family” culture that has grown around the program, and debate whether campus revitalization can build stronger school pride.
