We’re a group of ODU alums and supporters who have one goal: to get everyone as excited about ODU athletics as we are. We put on a variety of events for all ODU sports teams throughout the year. Our biggest events to date are our football tailgates in Blue Lot, including our annual Toys for Tots drive for the last home game of the season. That’s right – we’re about charity, too. In addition to raising funds for our student-athletes, we also give back to the community around our beloved school. And don’t forget about our podcast. The Monarchists Podcast covers all things ODU athletics: general coverage of all sports, in-depth football analysis, interviews with coaches and players, and gives details on our events and fundraising efforts.

  • Monarch Prep – EP17
    by ODU Monarchists on March 7, 2026 at 3:00 pm

    Old Dominion’s season comes to an emotional close in the Sun Belt Basketball Tournament in Pensacola, and we break it all down on this episode of Monarch Prep on The Monarchists Network. The Monarchs entered the tournament as the 11-seed, defeated ULM, and then battled Georgia Southern in a dramatic second-round matchup. The night will forever belong to Jordan Battle, who delivered a historic performance with 45 points — the highest scoring game in Sun Belt Tournament history. We recap the tournament run, analyze the key performances from KC Shaw, Robert Davis Jr., LJ Thomas, Scottie Hubbard, and look back at the impact of the five Monarch seniors whose careers just came to a close. We also discuss: • Jordan Battle’s historic scoring night • KC Shaw’s leadership and highlight-reel season • The impact of graduating seniors on the roster • What ODU needs in the transfer portal • Early excitement around ODU commit CJ Lyons • What the future of ODU Basketball could look like next season This episode also celebrates the players who gave everything in Hudson Blue and reflects on what Monarch Nation can look forward to moving forward.
