Bio:

Drinking and talking about Georgia State in that order. STATE of Atlanta is a more unconventional approach to college sports podcasting.  Imagine you’re at a bar and you overhear three drunks loudly debating Georgia State sports, that’s probably David, Ryan, and Tim.  We admit to not knowing anything we’re talking about but will emphatically assure you we have it all figured out. Trust us.

    David and Ryan dig into the growing chaos around Georgia State basketball as rumors swirl about Jonas Hayes’ future and the athletic department says absolutely nothing. From the now-infamous “95% fired” line to buyout speculation, coaching search chatter, and frustration over the lack of communication, this episode is a full unpacking of the Panthers’ latest mess. Plus: some March Madness pettiness, roster-building reality, and why college basketball increasingly feels like a box of scraps.
