  • 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.
