STATE of Atlanta

David, Ryan, and Tim react to the Atlanta Olympic cauldron moving from the Summerhill/Center Parc Stadium area to Centennial Olympic Park, including whether Georgia State ever really had a chance to make it part of its own game day identity. Then they get into the Sun Belt reportedly raising exit fees, what that could mean for Georgia State, and whether football recruiting momentum changes the pressure around Del McGee. Plus: Troy baseball, World Cup weirdness, bridge-versus-arch debates, and the birth of a true Atlanta icon — lemon pepper legacy.Follow usWeb: http://stateofatlanta.comFacebook: http://facebook.com/STATEofAtlantaTwitter: http://twitter.com/STATEofAtlantaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@STATEofAtlantaSupport the showPatreon: http://patreon.com/STATEofAtlantaRock our swagMerch: http://merch.STATEofAtlanta.com

David, Ryan, and Tim break down the growing uncertainty surrounding Georgia State athletics as rumors swirl about Charlie Cobb’s potential exit and silence from the university fuels more questions. The guys debate what a leadership change could mean for the future, whether Jonas Hayes is officially on the hot seat, and how the basketball program’s slide reflects a larger identity crisis within the department. Is this a reset moment — or is the ship still taking on water?Follow usWeb: http://stateofatlanta.comFacebook: http://facebook.com/STATEofAtlantaTwitter: http://twitter.com/STATEofAtlantaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@STATEofAtlantaSupport the showPatreon: http://patreon.com/STATEofAtlantaRock our swagMerch: http://merch.STATEofAtlanta.com

David, Ryan, and Tim give thoughts on the CFP Championship Game and what it means for Georgia State football and the Sun Belt, question what the Panthers’ big win over Monroe means, and react to the basketball cheating scandal at Kennesaw State.Follow usWeb: http://stateofatlanta.comFacebook: http://facebook.com/STATEofAtlantaTwitter: http://twitter.com/STATEofAtlantaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@STATEofAtlantaSupport the showPatreon: http://patreon.com/STATEofAtlantaRock our swagMerch: http://merch.STATEofAtlanta.com

David and Ryan react to the 2026 schedule shake-up, then dig into Georgia State’s new defensive setup with Cam Clark (Duke) and John Haneline (Youngstown State)—what co-DCs could mean on game day, recruiting, and identity. On the hardwood, they ask whether the Panthers are turning a corner after a 64-point second half and an 11-threes heater, and preview the home stand vs App State and Marshall (plus a lookahead to the NIU date). There’s portal and NIL reality, a kicker heading SEC-ward, and the usual fan-experience notes—all wrapped in a “Schedule Bomb” kind of week.Follow usWeb: http://stateofatlanta.comFacebook: http://facebook.com/STATEofAtlantaTwitter: http://twitter.com/STATEofAtlantaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@STATEofAtlantaSupport the showPatreon: http://patreon.com/STATEofAtlantaRock our swagMerch: http://merch.STATEofAtlanta.com

David, Ryan, and Tim react to the College Football Playoff fallout and the growing media backlash against G6 programs after the latest CFP games. From Nick Saban’s comments to ESPN’s shifting narratives, the guys break down why the “they don’t belong” argument doesn’t hold up — and why the G6 isn’t the problem. They also hit on Georgia State basketball picking up a road win, debate what actually makes playoff games “boring,” and vent about playoff gatekeeping, auto-bids, and why every Division I program should have the same path to a championship. As always, expect sarcasm, strong opinions, and plenty of frustration from a Georgia State fan perspective.
