  • Best There Is

    This is as good of a team-specific podcast as there is in the country. Billy played at SMU. So his passion and emotional investment is a different level. And you can feel it. He has all the best inside sources, from staffers to the billionaire donors. So nothing happens without him knowing about it.

  • Must listen for SMU fans

    Billy is a godsend for SMU fans as there are simply very few good options for consistent, insightful coverage of the Ponies. Billy is plugged in and provides great intel on top of your standard news. Love the pod.

  • Best Place for SMU Coverage

    Absolute best place for SMU revenue sport coverage and recruiting coverage. No replacement for signing up for the excellent behind-the-paywall coverage (sign up if you’re an SMU fan) but still an outstanding source of coverage and insight for both subscribers and other fans.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

All-Access AM: Virginia, North Carolina survive in ACC play | NC State Football Offseason Review
Q: What are you watching closest in spring for NC State, and do they have a breakout player on the defensive side to watch from the transfer portal?
Spring watch focuses on receiver depth and offensive line depth, plus the defensive line and linebacker groups with several new pieces. King Mack at safety and Raul Aguirre at linebacker are among the players to watch for leadership and impact, with the defense potentially taking a step forward under the new scheme.
All-Access AM: Virginia, North Carolina survive in ACC play | NC State Football Offseason Review
Q: Take us behind the scenes a little bit. What went into keeping quarterback CJ Bailey with NC State?
NC State moved quickly on the portal, prioritizing Bailey as a franchise QB and leveraging relationships to ensure his return. Their approach focused on signaling stability and building the offense around him with surrounding weapons and experienced transfers, setting the spring practice up for momentum.
SMU Mailbag Podcast: BJ Edwards injury, recruiting buzz, SMU Basketball Transfer Portal
Q: What's your best guess on Tomes and O'Neill staying next year versus a possible portal go?
I think they'll be retained. They're a major, major piece. Their major piece is to the long term future and plan for Andy Enfield.
SMU Mailbag Podcast: BJ Edwards injury, recruiting buzz, SMU Basketball Transfer Portal
Q: How much did the loss to Cal impact our NCAA tournament chances?
It doesn't kill you, but that's when you start to get the uneasy feeling. Because then you go Miami, good capable team, but a quad two game, at least from what I saw this morning, quad two game at Moody, senior night against a good team.
All-Access AM: Inside Miami's Transfer Portal Class | ACC Basketball Flexes + Bracketology for March Madness
Q: What were a couple of key positions that really impressed you as far as what Miami accomplished in the transfer portal?
Miami made significant strides by landing key players like Darian Mensa as a quarterback and building a strong offensive line with players from the transfer portal, indicating a solid strategy for success.
