  • Love listening to this!

    I try to listen to this on the way to/from work! Love hearing updates about the Dukes and our competitors! I don’t have the time to research everyone else in the Sunbelt 24-7, so this is very useful to keep my knowledge up to date!

    Also love the LinkedIn posts!

  • A Go-To Podcast for Sun Belt Sports

    Dave is a lot of fun. I appreciate the effort he puts into making an almost daily show, not to mention the updates he issues between shows (YouTube).

    Go Dukes! Go Sun Belt!

  • ULL bias

    Does the guy realize that there are other teams in this conference, other than Louisiana?

    Might as well rename this Cajun podcast because that’s what it is for all intents and purposes.

  • Content

    I give 3 stars because the interviews are good and it’s daily content for sunbelt which is hard to come by, but some of these are rough. 10 seconds of dead air and clearly having no knowledge of the game that was played. Just reading off computer. Quantity sacrifices quality.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TAKE THE STAIRS: How Scott Cross Transformed Troy and who takes the REIGNS?
Q: Who are the likely candidates to replace Cross, and what qualifies them for Troy?
Candidates discussed include Ben Fletcher and Flynn Klayman due to their Troy connections and coaching experience, plus other coaches with regional ties and familiarity with Sun Belt competition. The priority is finding someone who can maintain performance, recruit effectively, and stay connected with Troy's culture.
TAKE THE STAIRS: How Scott Cross Transformed Troy and who takes the REIGNS?
Q: Why did Troy keep Phil Cunningham around for an extra year, and what changed after Cross arrived?
It wasn't just about one coach; it was about the overall direction, contracts, and opportunities to rebuild. Cross brought better recruiting, motivation, and game planning, which gradually shifted Troy from a middling team to a sustained winner, leading to tournament appearances and conference success.
TAKE THE STAIRS: How Scott Cross Transformed Troy and who takes the REIGNS?
Q: What moment did you think the program turned around under Scott Cross?
The turning point seemed to be a combination of steady leadership, strong retention of key players, and a first major breakthrough with a 20-win season, which established Troy as a consistent contender rather than a one-off. This created momentum that the program rode for several seasons.
RELENTLESS: Troy Trojans and Scott Cross, PROVE They BELONG in the NCAA Tournament
Q: What did you learn from last year's NCAA tournament experience to take into this year's run?
Cross emphasized selflessness, ball sharing, and defensive energy as the keys to competing with top teams; with focused execution and better shot selection, they believed they could win a game or two.
CONTENDERS: Can Marshall Baseball SHAKE UP The Sun Belt? Greg Beals Reveals Game-Changing Moments
