  • Fix TTH

    You gotta get Vad off the TTH podcast. Grateful for him as a player at JMU, but he’s got about 50% accuracy on any JMU fact or topic each episode - and that’s being generous. Delvin is great though.

  • Best pod covering the dukes

    Insightful, entertaining, and genuinely funny jmu sports podcast. Bennett and Jack have great chemistry and offer great takes about all things jmu. Love the addition of Delvin Joyce and Vad Lee with the To the House pod during football season. Go dukes!

  • The Best for a Fair JMU Perspective

    Bennet and Jack give fair takes on all things JMU sports. They’re not sycophants like another podcast, and they’re knowledgeable about recruiting/portal news for the main four sports. They also speak knowledgeable about the other seasonal sports. Keep it up fellas. Oh yeah and To the House is a nice addition to the lineup… of two shows.

  • Solid Perspective

    I previously would hate-listen to these guys and I’m still not 100% sold on if I like them. But, their takes our way more fair than the purple propaganda podcast with that cornball PR guy on the mic. They are also benefiting from the old man Libs over at jmuSB who are too sensitive and run to bluesky. Thanks for keeping a unique perspective boy. Oh, and keep calling out the fact that the local media doesn’t ask a single injury question.

  • Great pod for JMU sports fiends

    The titular pod provides thoughtful and entertaining insight—and To The House takes this feed to another level. It’s can’t-miss-content to hold you over until the Dukes play their next game.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

JMU Survives Liberty in Hurricane Bridgeforth: QB Controversy, Defense Stuffs the Run | To the House
Q: What were your impressions of JC Evans's performance in the first half?
Evans looked efficient and confident, showing pocket presence and making decisive throws, which helped him earn the starting role for the half with a favorable mix of accuracy and mobility.
JMU vs. Liberty Preview: Vad Lee Breaks Down the QB Battle Before His Hall of Fame Induction
Q: What would you want to see from the team to raise expectations for the season?
A dominating defense, an offensive identity, and a capable turnover game; more explosive plays and better ball security while keeping emotions in check in a high-pressure, high-visibility environment.
JMU vs. Liberty Preview: Vad Lee Breaks Down the QB Battle Before His Hall of Fame Induction
Q: If you're Billy Napier, who are you starting at quarterback and why?
Vad leans toward JC Evans as the starter due to his fit for Napier's run-game plus-one dynamic and the ability to drive explosive plays, while acknowledging Cam Coleman brings mobility and modern arm talent; the choice hinges on consistency, leadership, and the coach's assessment of who gives the team the best chance to win.
JMU Game Week Preview: Napier's QB Answer, Sunbelt "Vampires" & Game Week Predictions
Q: Do you think Napier will name a starting QB before the Wagner game?
They are clearly not naming a starter and emphasize having a plan and a pulse; it seems likely they will use a two-quarterback approach or at least keep options open through Week 1.
JMU Football Defensive Preview + Interview with NFL & Liberty Alum James McKnight | To the House
Q: What conference will JMU be in in 2030?
The host suggests it may not join a Power Four conference but could align with a strong Group of Five program coalition or a restructured conference, potentially within the American or a new G6 arrangement that includes several well-resourced programs.
