  Episode 82: 2026 Check in with Coach Matt Burleson

  Sep 8, 202641 min

  Many Trojan fans were not expecting to have a losing season in 2025. But honestly, who is ever expecting that to happen? The 3-7 season was the end result of not "finishing the drill" as you'll hear Burleson mention. The team lost a handful of older, key players that include the entirety of the offensive line among other positions. So the team is young and in need of finding their footing. Yet, optimistic coaches are what you'll see on the sideline for Telfair. Join us here to see his full opinion on his team's condition & his outlook on the 2026 season going forward from here.

One bad play or decision led to some unnecessary losses and unmet expectations. Coach Phillip Brown talks about what he and the staff thought went wrong and what's being done to avoid the same mistakes in the future. the eagerness and optimism still very much present, and things seem to be looking up going by the words spoken in our meeting.

  Episode 79: Defiers of Logic

  May 31, 20261h 1m

  Despite being a team that is constantly riddled with either injuries or players struggling to produce satisfactory results, the Atlanta Braves have found themselves leading the NL East alongside leading in other statistical categories in 2026. After such a terrible start last year, they've turned a 180 and caught some people by surprise with the start they've gotten out to. With the lack of any huge offseason moves to bolster the roster, would you blame anyone if they expected a slow start? That is why they can rightfully be dubbed logic defiers.
