  • Tighten it Up

    Great podcast and I appreciate AJ and Big C putting this together. However, AJ needs to tighten it up. No one has time for a long podcast (latest GS preview show is 1:56). AJ, please get to the point when speaking. Use fewer words and be concise.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026-2027 Men’s Basketball Preview
Q: Do you seek something like that out, not knowing when you may tip off, or does the event reach out to you because you're close, and it's like, all right, they can make it easy?
Kerns says the Field of 68 reached out after Appalachian State had an opening in its schedule. He accepted the 6 a.m. slot for the opportunity to play a strong opponent and be part of a special event, then planned early-morning practices and a simple locker-room breakfast.
2026-2027 Men’s Basketball Preview
Q: How have practices gone? How are we feeling about the team?
Kerns says the team improved through a closed scrimmage and two open exhibitions. He likes the roster mix, expects better shooting and scoring, and says defense remains a work in progress.
Beat Georgia State
Q: What is keeping Fu Quay there?
Brown says head coach Sean Elliott and defensive coordinator Fu Quay have a close personal relationship, but he would not be surprised if Georgia State changed defensive coordinators after the season.
Beat Georgia State
Q: Tell us about this team, what you think Georgia State's strengths are, what their weaknesses are, and what you think will happen.
David Brown describes Georgia State as having a capable, well-rounded offense but a consistently weak defense, particularly in pass coverage. He expects Appalachian State to win by a significant margin, especially if it can throw effectively.
Beat ECU
Q: What are the biggest question marks heading into the ECU game?
The main concerns focus on the offensive line health and consistency, the quarterback situation with Chase Bryce, and how the team will perform in pass protection and run blocking, with an emphasis on letting the QB play and evaluating performance across multiple games rather than fixating on a single stat line.
