The First Roar – Episode 2: We Finally Have Football

Chicago State football is officially here. Kylie and Mike were at SeatGeek Stadium for the Cougars’ first-ever game, and now it’s time to talk about what they actually saw.

The 44-28 loss to Roosevelt wasn’t the start we wanted, but there was plenty to react to. The first touchdown, the early lead, Ashton Pannell showing some promise, a brutal second quarter, costly turnovers, defensive concerns, and yes, that kickoff everyone is talking about.

The countdown is officially on.

Join hosts Mike and Kylie as they prepare to cover every step of Chicago State football’s inaugural season. From roster updates and coaching storylines to game-week coverage and the historic opener against Roosevelt on August 29, The First Roar is your home for Chicago State football.

Listen to our trailer, then join us on August 17 as we begin the final countdown to kickoff.

Chicago State football is no longer just an announcement. It is becoming real.

In the debut episode of The First Roar: A Chicago State Football Podcast, Mike and Kylie lock in on the birth of Cougar football from the inside. They talk roster additions, Bobby Rome II’s builder staff, early fan momentum, SeatGeek Stadium, and what it means for Chicago State to launch Chicago’s only NCAA Division One football program.

This is not a national college football preview. This is a show for Chicago State football fans from day one.

The first team.

The first season.

The first roar.
