We sit down with Ryan to talk through hawk and barrel, all the evidence of how Jill has mishandled the last six years, how Billy’s departure makes him the worst coach in Saint Joe’s history, what the players era news past week means for scheduling and recruiting, and if tearing down the whole basketball admin would actually help, along with the fears that come with that idea.…

St. Joe’s isn’t going to be on the MainStage in 2025 in Vegas, but they are in the Players Era JV bracket — and that matters too :) NIL is already shaping how the program recruits, builds, and brands, and playing in a tournament like this (fingers crossed 2026) is key to building for the future. We talk NIL, roster moves, and what identity means for SJU in 2025. Guests Ryan MBA and HHHardwood join for a great convo on Player Era news, communication surrounding the players era, and more. Enjoy!…

Tony and Pete break down the Hawks’ rough 1-2 start to non-conference play and dive into what’s gone wrong, including double losses in the A10 and why the conference needs to ditch these lower-tier teams like GW and UMass. Plus, they discuss the Hawks’ new red room/practice space, preview upcoming games, and tackle the NBA’s three-point problem with Pete’s unique take and Tony’s controversial fixes for basketball. Later, they touch on Phil Martelli’s legacy (while making it clear they don’t care… or do they?), Tony’s recap of the Mummers Parade, and Big Cat’s “Mr. Chicago” reveal—raising the age-old question: What does it really mean to be a fan? All that, and more unfiltered opinions, because that’s what we do. Sorry, Phil.…
