Arizona State football is one step closer to an indoor practice facility thanks to an eight-figure donation from a previously untapped source. This donation shows how much ASU football's overall brand has grown in the Kenny Dillingham era. Later on (23:00), Mark talks about the end of the season for both basketball programs, a potential replacement for Bobby Hurley, and highlights the early-season success of the Sun Devil baseball team.

One of the major storylines of the 2025 Sun Devil season was injuries. That, in turn, gave way to opportunities. When star safety and team leader Xavion Alford was lost due to injury, there was a significant void left in the secondary. But newcomer Adrian "Boogie" Wilson stepped in, stepped up, and helped ASU to a successful season. He's now poised to be a key and veteran presence on the revamped Sun Devil defense. On this episode, we discuss how he took advantage of the opportunity, the origins of his nickname, the new-look secondary, and much more.

Most B2B marketing fails for one simple reason: it forgets how persuasion actually works.That's why Mad Men still hits. Beneath the suits, pitches, and personal drama, it's a masterclass in what actually moves people. In this episode, we break down its B2B marketing takeaways with the help of our special guest  Fahad Muhammad, Former VP of Marketing at TealBook.Together, we explore why fundamentals matter more than tactics, why emotion drives demand, and how originality is the only real advantage left in modern B2B marketing.About our guest, Fahad MuhammadFahad is a revenue-centric and data-driven marketing leader with 17 years of experience in strategic marketing at severalSaaS/Tech companies ranging from start-ups, SMBs to enterprise organizations. Specializing in demand creation and generation, he takes a data driven approach to identify unique growth opportunities in order to drive revenue and foster meaningful connections with customers. He is a diehard college football fan (Sun Devil for life!) and attends ASU's homecoming game each fall. An avid reader, he loves to read with a cup of his favorite coffee in hand.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Mad Men:Anchor on positioning before you touch tactics. Fahad's biggest takeaway from Mad Men is that modern B2B often skips the hard thinking and jumps straight to execution. The show strips marketing back to its core, and the lesson is uncomfortable in its simplicity. As he puts it, “This discipline is around three core things. It's about positioning, it's about having a very compelling piece of creative… and then the last piece is really understanding who your audience is.” The danger for B2B teams is mistaking activity for strategy. If positioning is fuzzy, no amount of optimization will save it. Get the foundation right first, or everything else is just noise.Emotion is the real differentiator. Fahad makes it clear that cutting through the noise is about resonance. He says, “Something that does speak to us, no matter what medium [it's in], is always going to cut through the noise.” Mad Men works because it understands human psychology hasn't changed, even if the channels have. For B2B marketers, the lesson is simple: logic might justify the purchase, but emotion earns attention. If your message doesn't connect at a human level, it won't survive the noise long enough to matter.Originality beats borrowed playbooks. Fahad warns that one of the fastest ways for B2B brands to disappear is by copying what already worked for someone else. Mad Men celebrates originality because it shows how differentiation is built through conviction, not consensus. As Fahad puts it, “They're not taking the shortcut route of copy pasting or referencing creative… they are elevating themselves and going through their own version of creative.” In a world where everyone has access to the same tools, the only sustainable advantage is saying something true in a way only you can. That's what people remember.Quote“  Everybody has the same access to the tools now. They can do the same thing. And the playing field is more level than ever. So how do you now cut through the noise? It still goes back to the core elements of: How strong is your positioning? How strong is your creative? Are you really thinking [that] this is going to cut through the noise and is it going to move people?”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Fahad Muhammad, Former VP of Marketing at TealBook[01:37] Why Mad Men?[04:28] Role of VP of Marketing at TealBook[05:20] Behind-the-Scenes of Mad Men[09:21] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Mad Men[32:08] The Role of AI in Marketing[42:43] How to Connect Content to Your Marketing Strategy[45:44] Advice for First-Time VPs of Marketing[47:19] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Fahad on LinkedInLearn more about TealBookAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

2026 will be a new era for Sun Devil quarterbacks, and all eyes will be on the position in spring and fall camps to see who will take the reins. Among the hopefuls is redshirt freshman Cam Dyer, who is the only returner in the group. His high school career saw him put up video game numbers, a four-star recruiting rating, and two Gatorade Player of the Year awards in his home state of New Mexico. He committed to ASU prior to his senior year, interestingly as a wide receiver, not a quarterback. However, a torn ACL near the end of his prep days had him begin his time in Tempe rehabbing. Making the switch back to quarterback, he put in the work, recovered, and ended the year as the Sun Devils' top backup. He'll now get a chance to make his mark on the offense this offseason. On this episode, we discuss the lessons and growth through his rehab, his football journey, the developing rapport of the quarterback room, and much more.  

The college sports landscape continues to be a wild mess. Several months into the post-House and revenue-sharing era, where do things stand? We talk with NIL agent and founder of Activate Sports Management Peter Boyle for an in-depth look into what's changed, what's right, what's wrong, and what's up next (13:33) We allso get to know two new Sun Devil transfer portal additions: Running back David Avit (2:46) and tight end Kristian Ingman (1:08:05).

From Melbourne, Australia to the brightest lights in American college basketball, Last-Tear Poa has one of the most powerful journeys we've ever featured on SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next.In this episode, KT and B Jones sit down with the Polynesian Princess herself — a former national champion at LSU, now a Sun Devil at Arizona State, and a player who's built her name on lockdown defense, big-moment confidence, and a fearless mindset that travels anywhere.This isn't just a basketball story.This is a story about betting on yourself, staying rooted in your culture, and turning every transition into fuel.Last-Tear takes us back to the beginning: growing up in Australia, falling in love with basketball around age nine after watching her cousin play, and realizing the game could become something bigger than just a hobby. She talks about the pride of representing her roots, how family support shaped her, and why keeping her identity and accent matters — because forgetting where you came from was never an option.She didn't get handed a straight-line path. She chose the hard route.One of the most inspiring parts of her story is how she came to the U.S. during a chaotic time (including the COVID era) and took the JUCO route — not as a backup plan, but as a calculated bet on herself.JUCO gave her a chance to grow, build her name, and earn options — and that mindset is what separates her.Because once she got her opportunity… she didn't just join a program.She joined history.Last-Tear breaks down what it was like stepping into LSU during a major roster transformation under Kim Mulkey, where the outside world had opinions, expectations, and plenty of doubt.But inside the locker room? It was all business.She shares what it felt like being part of that championship run and how preparation + belief created something unstoppable. And yes — we talk about those big-time moments that live forever, including:the pressure of competing on the sport's biggest stagebeing trusted in defensive matchups when it mattered moststaying ready as a contributor who could change the game in a few possessionsThat's what champions do: stay ready.After experiencing what it takes to win at the highest level, Last-Tear opens up about the decision to transfer to Arizona State, what she wanted next in her journey, and why this move is about growth, leadership, and writing the next part of her story with purpose.She talks about her fit as a Sun Devil, what she's bringing into that culture, and how her “unselfish, relentless, do-whatever-it-takes” style impacts the team.This episode also hits deeper than hoops. Last-Tear speaks on what it means to represent Polynesian athletes, especially young girls who don't always see themselves in this space.

Jordan Simone joins Luke and Jody Jackson for Sun Devil Sessions to discuss how Arizona State football can continue on the path that they are on, what he expects from Jeff Sims against Duke, and what he thinks about bowl games in college football.

Recorded: April 15th 2023 | On this episode of Best of the Bus, the boys were on the road for their 2023 Spring Tour in Tempe and sat down with Kenny Dillingham, head coach of the Arizona State Sun Devils. Coach Dillingham breaks down the idea behind naming Will Compton and Taylor Lewan as head coaches for the ASU spring game, and explains why creativity and innovation are essential when recruiting elite, five-star talent to Arizona State. He talks about changing perceptions, building belief, and showing recruits that ASU is a destination worth buying into. Dillingham also reflects on his coaching journey, including how Assistant Head Coach Charlie Ragle helped get him started, and why the Arizona State job is his dream role. He makes it clear this is where he wants to be, and where he plans to stay. From facility upgrades and NIL growth to long-term vision and culture, Coach Dillingham lays out his blueprint for the future of Sun Devil football. His energy, passion, and belief in the program are impossible to miss, and by the end of this episode, you just might find yourself rooting for Arizona State. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the world slows down for the holidays, the rumor mill is speeding up. Could Kenny Dillingham really leave Arizona State to coach the Michigan Wolverines? We discuss and outline what ASU's homegrown coach may actually be saying and what he's purposefully not. We also talk with two talented young Sun Devil defenders, linebacker Martell Hughes (24:56) and cornerback Joseph Smith (28:45).

2025 was my 15th season covering Arizona State football. Over that span, there are few—if any—players that I've covered more impactful, on and off the field, than Xavion Alford. Despite being ruled ineligible by the NCAA in 2023 after his transfer, he was a key part in establishing ASU's culture. He then took the field last year and was an All-Big 12 first team performer. Although an injury kept him sidelined for most of this past year, he still contributed in an off field role and recently declared for the NFL Draft. On this episode, we discuss his decision, his career at ASU, how his time as a Sun Devil shaped him, and more.  

The Sun Devils are El Paso bound. We breakdown the news of ASU's Sun Bowl matchup against Duke, get the latest from the recruiting trail and transfer portal, and talk with Sun Devil defensive tackle Jacob Kongaika (1:01:41), wide receiver Malik McClain (1:05:54), and new cornerback signee Jalen Williams (25:51).

Jordan Simone joins Luke and Kellan Olson to discuss Sam Leavitt not showing up to Arizona State's football banquet, if Sam Leavitt will actually leave Arizona State, and what ASU does if Leavitt does end up leaving.

It's time for the Duel. Before the Sun Devils and Wildcats battle it out, we discuss the latest injury news, identify the key ASU players who need to step up, and in the spirit of the holiday, share what Sun Devil things we're thankful for this season. Plus, hear from Arizona State wide receiver coach Hines Ward.

Another season, another dominating run by Sun Devil volleyball. As the ladies enter a key late-season battle against rival Arizona, they are ranked in the top 10 in the country and in prime position to repeat as Big 12 champions. A major reason for the success is the impact of Noemie Glover. A transfer from Oregon, she's already racked up multiple Big 12 Player of the Week awards and was recently named as a semifinalist for the AVCA National Player of the Year. On this episode, we discuss growing up in an athletic family, making the move from basketball to volleyball, the keys to ASU's success, and more.  

Homecoming is here. After a look at the news, we have an insightful conversation with ASU center Ben Coleman about his season-ending injury, still controbuiting to the team, and the impact being a Sun Devil has had on him (14:42). Then we go behind Mountaineer lines with West Virginia insider Keenan Cummings (36:38) to get a detailed look at ASU's Homecoming opponent. We then dive into our game preview and predictions before talking with Sun Devil cornerback Keith Abney (1:19:25) and left guard Maki Stewart (1:22:03).
