Soft Schedule Truth for JMU Football, Napier Year 1 Expectations & New Podcast Network Schedule | JMU Sports News Podcast

Bennett and Jack are back for Year 9 of the JMU Sports News Podcast — and there's a lot to get into. They rant on the fall wedding discourse taking over college football media, call out On3 and Bud Elliott for ignoring G6 programs, and break down why national perception still doesn't respect JMU's schedule or last year's Oregon result. Plus: what actually defines a successful Year 1 for Billy Napier, a look back at some of the show's worst-ever takes (RIP 2018 Mike Houston "greatest team ever" take), Liberty week one starting lineup predictions, and a rundown of the new JMU Sports News Podcast Network schedule — including To The House Season 3 and the brand-new Purple Perspective. ️TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Fall wedding discourse rant 2:15 – On3, G6 coverage 7:10 – Podcast network update: To The House S3 + Purple Perspective launch 9:41 – Listener Qs: Richie (hater to liker) & defining a successful Napier Year 1 26:03 – WR room depth 27:33 – Predicting the Liberty week one starting lineup 28:34 – Year 9 of the pod: our QB1 prediction track record 29:18 – Blast from the past: our worst-ever takes 55:03 – Is JMU's 2026 schedule actually soft? 57:23 – National vs. JMU fan perspective on the Oregon result 59:39 – Other JMU sports: women's soccer on SEC Network Got a take, question, or worst-take submission?
