    #24: Wake Us Up When September Starts

    WE’RE BACK! The long offseason grind is almost over, and it's time to talk some App football! In this episode, we dive headfirst into the 2026 App State offseason after one of the most intense roster resets in Sun Belt history. With over 66 total newcomers hitting Boone—including the #1 ranked signing class in conference history and 35 transfer portal additions—there is a whole lot of new excitement, but just as much uncertainty. What needs to go right for this team to click, and how do we navigate the dog days of August before Maine arrives at Kidd Brewer Stadium?

Win, and we are guaranteed a top 2 spot in the Sun Belt conference tournament. We also discuss baseball's hot start out of the gate and their upcoming schedule as Spring is near!
