un Belt Podcast dares to ask the most penetrating queries in the Sun Belt, and we’re not afraid to rough-up anyone to crack the case. In Episode 5, we bring Brant Freeman in for interrogation, and believe me, he cracked! Oh, yeah. He cracked.
Fun Belt Podcast dug deep into the mysteries of the Sun Belt in Episode 4, recruiting Chris Vannini of The Athletic to parse the tea leaves of realignment, the USA Today Coaches Poll, and something about SBC Commissioner Keith Gill personally wooing Marshall

After all, the Sun Belt is a conference on the rise, and we don’t need anchors from a failing ideology dragging us into mediocrity’s lukewarm depths.
New Arkansas State head football coach Butch Jones isn’t in New Orleans to ghost write Shakespeare.
