Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, the premier podcast delivering raw analysis, exclusive breakdowns, and unfiltered passion for everything Nittany Lions! In this post-holiday special – recorded December 29, 2025 – hosts Shawn Kane & Cory Lestochi celebrate the end of a turbulent 2025 season while looking ahead to the Matt Campbell rebuild. Fresh off a gritty bowl win, we're dissecting the victory over Clemson, the blockbuster hire of D'Anton Lynn as defensive coordinator, the impending transfer portal opening, and answering your fan questions. From on-field heroics to offseason strategy, this episode is your roadmap to PSU's 2026 resurgence in the Big Ten. Despite a sloppy, error-filled game on both sides, PSU (finishing 7-6) dominated with a stout defense and timely plays, holding the Tigers (also 7-6) to just one touchdown. We discuss interim coaching impacts, fan reactions in the Bronx cold, and how this win provides closure to the James Franklin era while boosting morale for Campbell's takeover. Big news from Happy Valley – Matt Campbell has landed USC's D'Anton Lynn as PSU's new DC! The former Nittany Lion letterman (a standout player in the early 2010s) is returning home after two successful seasons transforming USC's defense. Shawn dives into Lynn's coaching pedigree – son of NFL coach Anthony Lynn, with stints at UCLA and the Ravens – and why his aggressive, player-development-focused schemes are a perfect fit for PSU's talent-laden unit. We explore the pursuit (Franklin chased him last offseason), contract buzz, and potential staff additions like Rob Ryan. The offseason heats up as the NCAA's new singular winter transfer portal window officially opens this Friday, January 2, 2026, running through January 16! With the spring window eliminated starting this cycle, this 15-day frenzy is make-or-break for roster building. Our hosts preview PSU's strategy under Campbell: Targeting QBs, OL reinforcements, and defensive depth to fill gaps from graduations and NFL declarations. We discuss early announcements (players can signal intent now), NIL implications, and rivals' moves. Cory warns of potential outgoing transfers like underutilized backups, while Shawn spotlights portal gems that could flip the script for 2026. You asked, we deliver! In our extended mailbag, we tackle your top queries from social media and email – What does Lynn's hire mean for the scheme? Who's PSU's top portal target? Bowl MVP debates? And more. If this episode has you pumped for the Campbell era, smash LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and enable notifications for instant drops! Comment below: Biggest win from the bowl, or most excited about Lynn?

Notre Dame targets former Michigan State and current Transfer Portal receiver Nick Marsh. The Irish aim to supercharge their quest for the 2026 national championship. Can Marsh's playmaking ability give the Fighting Irish the edge to run the table next season? Brian Smith spotlights Marsh's potential impact, breaking down key offensive pieces like CJ Carr, Jaden Greathouse, and Aneyas Williams, plus why Notre Dame's boundary receiver situation will be the x-factor to score over 40 points per game.Key topics include Notre Dame's positions of need—kicker, an elite wide receiver, defensive tackle, nickel corner, a veteran quarterback for depth, tight end, and possibly a running back. Smith assesses how NIL dynamics are reshaping recruiting, especially at defensive tackle, where overpaying may become essential for a title run. Insightful analysis of Notre Dame's retention rate, roster strategies, and schedule strength rounds out this Portal Podcast episode. Will the Irish's NIL evolution be enough to secure elite talent and championship dreams?Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it's time to make it official.

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot break down the massive Seahawks–49ers matchup, laying out the stark difference between winning the NFC's top seed versus entering the playoffs as a road-bound wild card. They debate San Francisco's battered defense, Seattle's dominant defense, and whether Sam Darnold can rediscover the early-season form that once put him in MVP conversations—especially after scoring just 18 total first-half points over the last four games. Mitch floats a classic emotional hedge: bet the 49ers money-line so a Seahawks win feels priceless and a loss at least comes with consolation cash. Mitch and Brady Henderson break down Seattle's 27–10 win over Carolina, praising another elite defensive performance while sounding alarms about the offense's habit of slow starts and turnovers, with just 18 first-half points over the last four games. They preview Saturday night's NFC West showdown in Santa Clara, weighing a battered 49ers defense against Brock Purdy's red-hot offense and debating which version of Sam Darnold shows up. The segment closes with Taco Time honors for DeMarcus Lawrence and Zach Charbonnet, as Seattle stands one win away from the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye. Rick Neuheisel joins Mitch for a wide-ranging College Football Playoff preview, diagnosing Clemson's 7–6 collapse as the moment NIL and the portal finally "happened" to Dabo Swinney, and reacting with surprise to Kyle Whittingham leaving Utah for Michigan as a potential cleanup hire. Neuheisel breaks down all four CFP games, backing Ohio State to survive Miami, Texas Tech to upset Oregon, Indiana to knock off Alabama, and Ole Miss to take down Georgia. He locks in Ole Miss plus the points as his official pick, staying hot at 8–6 against the spread while handing out Taco Time honors along the way.

The Husker Doc Talk Podcast wraps up the year with a festive, wide-ranging post-Christmas episode that blends holiday humor, sponsor shoutouts, and deep college football analysis—exactly what Husker fans have come to expect from Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka. The episode starts off lighthearted, and then the conversation turns serious with an in-depth breakdown of one of the biggest coaching stories of the season: Kyle Whittingham's stunning move from Utah to Michigan. Travis and Dr. Rob examine the timing of the decision, the rumored friction with Utah's administration, and what it means for Utah's bowl preparation. They also debate whether Whittingham's departure removes emotional fuel—or creates new motivation—for the Utes as they prepare to face Nebraska. The discussion naturally pivots to Nebraska football and the upcoming bowl game in Las Vegas. With key players opting out and a new coaching staff still settling in, expectations are tempered. Dr. Rob explains why this bowl game should be viewed through a developmental lens rather than a win-or-else moment, outlining Nebraska's current roster gaps, particularly along the offensive and defensive lines. The two also explore how the transfer portal and NIL have reshaped roster construction—and why player evaluation and development matter more than ever. Quarterback play, portal strategy, and long-term program building dominate the second half of the episode, including a thoughtful debate about Nebraska's future at QB and whether stability might be more valuable than chasing a one-year rental. The episode closes with a broader look at college football's shifting power structure, comparing development-first programs like Iowa with big-money NIL schools, and questioning whether the Big 12 can truly keep pace with the Big Ten and SEC. It's a candid, thoughtful, and entertaining year-end conversation—equal parts football breakdown, industry insight, and holiday camaraderie—making Episode 23 a perfect way to close out 2025 on the Husker Doc Talk Podcast.

On Christmas Eve, Mo Bati posted on his Strava that the NCAA stripped him of his remaining eligibility after community members raised money ($6k) to help him pay tuition. Because it wasn't a scholarship or used for an NIL deal, it was viewed as a competitive advantage.We talked with Mo about how he's handling the situation, learn more about what happened, and gave him a place to speak on the matter.On a brighter note, we talked about his runner-up performance at D3XC nationals, his 2:12 marathon at CIM, and what is next for him in his marathon career.Support D3 Glory Days!A big thanks to Bombas for supporting D3 Glory Days for our regional coverage.

HEY! We encourage you to listen to this show as part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out!Merry Christmas Eve Eve!Go ahead an unwrap our Happy Hour with John Gaskins early Christmas present to you — nothing much different than any other Tuesday with Sioux Falls Live's Matt Zimmer on the show.No "Top 5 Christmas Movies" or "Most Overrated Christmas Songs" lists, or "Egg Nog — Yea or Nay?"No "Year in Review" chronological stroll down memory lane of the biggest sports stories of 2025. (That's for tomorrow's Happy Hour — our Christmas Eve present!) Instead, Zim and the host give the gift that keeps on giving the whoooooooole year for the last five years of the weekly "Nobody's LIstening Anyway" podcast — brutal honesty and candor (with some humor) about the most intriguing current sports topics of the Sioux Empire and South Dakota.In this week's case, yet another discussion about what the future may look like for both NDSU and SDSU in college football, thanks to the latest internet whispers about the Bison's "playing footsie" with the Mountain West Conference. While nothing has been confirmed as fact, it's an open door to discussing which level of football is more desirable for NDSU and SDSU — the FCS or FBS.Did the humiliation of James Madison and Tulane by Power Four schools with far more resources and NIL money signal the beginning of the end to a "seat at the table" for the "rest of the FBS" beyond the Big 10, SEC, ACC, and Big 12? It certainly appears so.If that's the case, do the Bison and Jackrabbits really have a reason to move up? Well, maybe if there is ever the splitting of P4 from Non-P4, creating a new sub-level Div. I fusion of Group of Six FBS programs with some of the more established FBS-ish operations in the FCS like NDSU, SDSU, Montana, Montana State, and USD. As usual, Zim moves to the beat of his own drum on this topic. Then, a dive into the splashiest early pre-transfer portal headlines — heavy hitters who have announced they are staying at SDSU (Chase Mason, Quentin Christensen) and leaving USD (L.J. Phillips and Larenzo Fenner).It isn't just a conversation about the retention of players, but the types of players the two South Dakota programs recruit. Nuance is necessary and provided.Nuance would have been nice as rumors exploded about the possibility that Kalen DeBoer would ever leave Alabama for Michigan. Zim, a former teammate of DeBoer's in South Dakota amateur baseball who also covered DeBoer's five-year run of NAIA dominance at the University of Sioux Falls, sheds his own light on watching the speculation ignite in a ball of flames during the Crimson Tide's 17-point comeback playoff win at Oklahoma.Stocking stuffer — a glimpse into a weekend of South Dakota State's women's basketball that featured the two marquee games on the non-conference schedule within four days of each other. Duke and Texas both soundly beat the Jackrabbits. What might this mean in March for SDSU's possible NCAA Tournament seeding? Is it too early to just assume the Jacks will reach the Big Dance, which feels like an annual rite of passage? Stocking stuffer II — Now what for Minnesota Vikings fans like Zim if J.J. McCarthy is done for the season with his new hand injury? It seemed like tracking the quarterback's progression to see if there is something to be optimistic about in 2026 has likely been replaced with the QB quandary that has stunted the team's growth for most of our lives.Merry Christmas. Bah Humbug!
In today's episode, we dive into some of the biggest conversations surrounding college sports, professional leagues, and the business side of the game.We start with UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor's comments on players opting out of bowl games, and what his perspective says about how college football continues to evolve in the NIL and transfer-portal era.Next, we break down the developing legal battle involving Vanderbilt quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist Diego Pavia, who is suing the NCAA over whether time spent at a junior college should count toward a player's eligibility. Could this case reshape eligibility rules across college athletics?From there, we shift to basketball and discuss Nigerian player James Nnaji, who has already been drafted to the NBA but may still have the option to play college basketball. Is that fair? And what does it reveal about the inconsistencies in amateurism rules?To close things out, we talk about the Kansas City Chiefs' decision to move their franchise from Missouri to Kansas, what led to the move, and what it means for fans, funding, and the future of professional sports cities.We discuss all of this and more—so remember, if you didn't hear it from the horse's mouth, stop listening to the ass who told you.SONG OF THE EPISODE: Shane Eagle- AlchemyFollow us on All Platforms: Bryce Olden: https://www.instagram.com/brycedavidoldenBryce Davis: https://www.instagram.com/bruc3l3royBryce Olden: https://www.facebook.com/bryce.oldenBryce Olden: https://x.com/BryceSFHMShow
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comFor your holiday listening, Alex and Richard take on dozens of questions from SplitZoneDuo.com's paid subscribers. Let's start with the juicy but sad breakup of Notre Dame and USC, move to the coaching carousel, and then have some fun. A rough listing of the questions featured in this episode, in order:* What's actually going on with Notre Dame and USC breaking up their football rivalry, and whose fault is it?* What is Michigan's realistic play in the coaching carousel, and who could they actually hire?* Is Michigan likely to have a coach in place by the bowl game, or is that assumption wrong?* Is a bridge coach (specifically Biff Poggi) a viable or sensible option for Michigan?* Kyle Whittingham vs. Brian Kelly: Who is the better “CEO” head coach?* With so many Power 4 openings, is the best path to a top job now being a successful P4 coordinator?* What happened at Ohio, how should they move forward, and why did they handle it better than Michigan?* Why does Warde Manuel still have a job (pending investigation)?* Is Pat Fitzgerald possibly a worse pure football coach than Jonathan Smith but better positioned because of NIL and donor buy-in? Is “coach who can unlock donor money” now a core hiring archetype?* Will Michigan State's new $400 million donation allow them to immediately spend big on the roster?* What are agency “speed-dating” events for coaches and athletic directors?* Does the modern college football calendar make it harder for FCS programs to reset or fire coaches?* Will the calendar lead to more long-tenured FCS coaches staying put at big programs?* What are the chances Ed Orgeron resurfaces on LSU's staff?* Why didn't Dan Mullen come up for any of the open head coaching jobs?* What's really wrong at Florida State beyond portal hits and misses?* If an AD tried to reverse-engineer Curt Cignetti, what traits would they be looking for?* What goes on your CFB trip bucket list?* New York or LA: The better CFB city?* Why do national college football narratives so often default to NY/LA logic when the sport itself doesn't?* What are our goals for this podcast in 2026?Thank you so much for being part of what we do. We'll see you around New Year's Eve to get you set for the CFP quarterfinals and FCS title game.Producer: Anthony Vito

In this week's basketball coaching conversation, Radford head coach Zach Chu joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on winning in the margins.Zach Chu is in his first year as the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Radford University. Currently the youngest head coach in NCAA Division I men's basketball, Zach Chu brings nine years of experience in the NBA and a deep analytical background. Chu capitalizes on a deep analytical background, uniquely positioning him to navigate the rapidly changing landscape of college basketball with an end-to-end application of analytics from portal management, roster composition, and individual player development to game strategy.After accompanying Coach Rick Carlisle to Indiana to manage game strategy, following five years in the Dallas Mavericks' organization, Chu helped the Pacers leverage a data-driven approach to engineer one of the most efficient offenses in the NBA and an appearance in the Eastern Conference finals by their third year.Recognizing the potential impact of this differentiated strategy in the NIL era, Chu accepted the role as Chief Strategist at SMU last year, where he implemented the same conceptual approach proven at the NBA level, producing the 20th ranked offense in the country while being one of only two schools in the nation to have six players average double figures. The Mustangs posted a 24-11 record, including a 13-7 finish in their inaugural season in the ACC.

Send us a textA holiday thank you turns into a masterclass on building a champion when Gary Gilmore, the recently retired head coach of Coastal Carolina, joins us to unpack how a mid-major beat the blue bloods in Omaha. From overlooked recruits to a dogpile on the final out, he takes us step-by-step through the strategy, the culture, and the belief that changed everything.We start with the foundation: recruit athletes, not résumés; redshirt for strength and skill; and teach the details that win close games. Gary breaks down why regionals are a bullpen marathon and why Omaha rewards clarity and roles, then shows how Coastal became brutally hard to beat—leading the nation in home runs and sacrifice bunts while stealing bags, defending cleanly, and placing pressure in every inning. If you care about baseball player development, college baseball culture, or winning in the NIL and portal era, this conversation is packed with takeaways you can use tomorrow.Then we go inside the moments that defined the run: the LSU Super Regional ninth inning where a freshman error threatened to derail everything, the bold 3–1 slider call, the perfect steal break, and the sequence that sent them to Omaha. Gary shares the postgame locker room where he asked his players to lock hands and eyes, then laid out a plan that unfolded almost pitch-for-pitch in the championship—converting an All-American reliever to start, bridging with the best inherited-run stopper in the country, and trusting a career starter to record the final strikeout as a reliever. Woven through it all is his why: lead with love, hold a high standard, and let belief carry talent further than pedigree.If you're a coach, parent, or player, you'll leave with practical tools for culture-building, recruiting overlooked athletes, and preparing staffs for postseason stress. If you're a fan, you'll relive the chills of a true David vs Goliath story. Follow the show, share it with a baseball friend, and leave a quick review to help more coaches find it. What part of Gary's plan will you try first?Join the Baseball Coaches Unplugged podcast where an experienced baseball coach delves into the world of high school and travel baseball, offering insights on high school baseball coaching, leadership skills, hitting skills, pitching strategy, defensive skills, and overall baseball strategy, while also covering high school and college baseball, recruiting tips, youth and travel baseball coaching tips, and fostering a winning mentality and attitude in baseball players through strong baseball leadership and mentality.Support the show Follow: Twitter | Instagram @Athlete1Podcast Website - https://www.athlete1.net Sponsor: The Netting Professionals https://www.nettingpros.com

Highlights: The big question: Is Shedeur Sanders the Browns' long-term answer at quarterback? His development is a work in progress amidst a poor offense. A compelling case for the Browns to use a high draft pick on a "sure thing" wide receiver like Carnell Tate instead of a risky QB, providing a reliable weapon for the next decade. The offensive line is a top priority for a complete overhaul, with a need to invest heavily in the draft and free agency to find a cornerstone "10-year left tackle." Jerry Jeudy's disappointing season raises questions about his future with the team given his large contract. After a shaky start, kicker Andre Szmyt has become a reliable and above-average weapon, solidifying a key position for the Browns. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel is largely viewed as a long-term backup, a role highlighted by fan reactions during a recent game appearance. A debate emerged comparing the calm demeanor of Browns coach Kevin Stefanski to the fiery, culture-changing style of Indiana's Curt Cignetti, questioning which approach is better for a struggling team. The modern college football landscape, with NIL and the transfer portal, allows for much faster program turnarounds than the more structured team-building environment of the NFL. Cavs guard Darius Garland has shown a recent resurgence, playing more like the dynamic, aggressive offensive player he has been in the past. Despite a recent win, the Cavs' defense remains a major concern, as they continue to struggle with transition defense and rebounding. The Cavaliers are criticized for their heavy reliance on high-volume three-point shooting, with suggestions they should focus more on attacking the paint. There's a belief that the Cavaliers' offense functions best when center Jarrett Allen is happy and actively involved as more than just a screener. Fans expressed grave concern over MLB's official partnerships with sports betting companies, fearing it compromises the game's integrity. Frustration is mounting over MLB's slow action in the gambling case involving Guardians players, especially when compared to the NBA's swift response in similar situations. A top offseason wish for the Guardians is to trade from their pitching depth to acquire a much-needed right-handed power-hitting outfielder. The system allowing wealthy MLB teams to sign "ready-made" international players is debated as unfair, sparking ideas for creating more parity for smaller markets. The lack of playing time for offensive lineman Zak Zinter, despite numerous injuries, raises questions about his future with the Browns. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
“I was at the highest point of my career, signed a max contract, all NBA team, top 3 player in East to boom, hit rock bottom. And I got through it. Life isn't going to be easy, there's a lot of adversity and challenges, just don't quit.” John Wall In one of the most authentic and powerful conversations of the year, John Wall opens up on pulling himself out of a dark place and the moment he chose life and light over a frightening alternative.

He reflects on what the game has taught him about loyalty, mental toughness, and finding purpose beyond the spotlight.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT gives his thoughts on why the Alabama Crimson Tide are being wildly underestimated heading into the second round of the College Football Playoff. JT explains how the Alabama Crimson Tide matchup with Indiana is being distorted by recency bias, why Alabama's talent edge and playoff experience matter, and how the Alabama Crimson Tide don't need perfection to win. JT also breaks down why Miami is a nightmare matchup for Ohio State, why Georgia is poised to overwhelm Ole Miss in the rematch, and why Oregon vs Texas Tech could reshape the future of the NIL era. This episode challenges national narratives, questions conference supremacy, and explains why playoff football is about who you are now — not what you were in October.
On this episode, we recap the College Football Playoff first round and talk through what worked, what didn't, and why the weekend felt underwhelming at times.

RUNDOWN Did you see Anthony Joshua knocking out Jake Paul in a Netflix spectacle that somehow guaranteed both fighters $92 million? While relieved to see Paul finally get hit for real, Mitch is stunned that global interest was strong enough to justify such an enormous payout for an eight-round exhibition. The segment becomes a blunt look at influencer economics, Netflix's business model, and why modern fame—not boxing legitimacy—now drives sports entertainment. Hotshot relives an on-air argument about whether Andy Gibb was a Bee Gee, while Mitch tells the story of getting yanked off a Syracuse DJ shift for interrupting a song to announce Andy Gibb's death. They pivot to Thursday night's Seahawks win over the Rams—Hotshot admits the overturned two-point conversion still feels "cheap," and Mitch argues the lack of urgency proves Seattle believed the play was designed as a forward pass until it wasn't. The segment ends with Mr. Playoffs logic: even if Seattle grabs the NFC's top seed, the Rams likely become the dangerous 5-seed and could boomerang right back into Seattle's divisional-round path. Ray Roberts joins Mitch for an intense Upon Further Review debate, rejecting the idea that the Rams are clearly better and arguing the two teams are neck-and-neck, winning in different ways. He points to Seattle's resilience, defensive toughness, and locker-room connectedness as unmeasurable traits that data and "eye tests" often miss, especially when a team keeps finding ways to win close games. The conversation drills into the overtime drive, the two-point conversion, Sam Darnold's growth, and whether the real breakthrough may be Clint Kubiak learning how best to deploy his quarterback under pressure. Henderson and Bevens dissect the Seahawks' improbable comeback over the Rams, with both pointing to belief, crowd energy, and elite special teams as the real difference-makers in a game Seattle otherwise struggled to control. The conversation zeroes in on Sam Darnold's fourth-quarter and overtime composure—ugly early, elite late—and whether that drive permanently shifts his ceiling against top competition. They also credit Sean McVay's adjustments for the Rams' offensive surge while arguing Seattle's defense and special teams ultimately tilted the outcome. Neuheisel reacts to the opening round of the College Football Playoff, arguing the Group of Five's lack of competitiveness will force structural change, possibly toward a separate championship or play-in model.
