We caught up with Marcus following a week one loss by the Falcons. They've since started to right the ship by defeating Urbana in week two. From on the field to off the field...this interview runs the gamut. And get this...Marcus isn't the only Porter on the team. His little brother Michael is his teammate and roommate! Hope you enjoy the interview.

We look back, and forward, with Paul Tortorella, head coach at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In his first season as head coach, Tortorella brings years of experience and knowledge to the position, spending the last 22 seasons as IUP’s defensive coordinator.

Before coming to Fairmont State, Coach Woodman worked at LSU under coaches Nick Saban and Les Miles. After LSU, Jason followed Jimbo Fisher to Florida State and spent some time under legendary coach Bobby Bowden. Hope you enjoy this episode. The previews continue next week!

I CANNOT wait. Between Penn State and the NFL, I've lost count as to how many camps I've been through. Suffice to say it was a lot. And because of that I think I have a pretty good feel as to what goes into it, both as a player and coach. So that's what this episode is all about...what's going through the minds of the coaches and players as they know they've basically got just a few days...

2017-06-2824 minThe DII Sports PodcastEp. 033 - Syfter App with Bryan KeysSometimes the truth hurts. And the truth of the matter when it comes to college athletes is that most won't make it to the big time. After college, they'll be done. Then what? What's next? What are they going to do for the rest of their lives? That's what happened with Bryan Keys, our guest this week on the show. Bryan played DII football and spent some time in NFL training camps and even played in the arena league. But eventually he was facing the reality of life in the real world. So what did he do? He created an...
2017-06-2123 minThe DII Sports PodcastEp. 032 - Brandon on Summer Training RegimensWell, after a recent heat wave in the Northeast, some of which I experienced without air conditioning, suffice to say that summer is officially upon us, which means that things have gone dark on campuses across the country. Okay, not entirely dark. While the games may be over for a while, the training continues...heck, it never really stopped. With football just around the corner coaches and player are undoubtedly preparing for the long grind. I've been there and done that so I know what goes into it. And that's what I want to share with you guys, because I've...

Nowadays it's basically a year-round process. With the season just around the corner, you can be sure that coaches are out there trying to lock up those final recruits as they get ready to open training camp in just a couple months. To talk about the recruiting process, we're going to rerun an interview we did with Bill Zwaan from West Chester University. Coach Zwaan was really able to shed some light on the challenges facing coaches across the...

This week we're talking with Jerry Baltes, head coach of both the women's and men's programs at Grand Valley State. That fact is what drew me to Coach Baltes. What's it like coaching both programs? What are the differences? The similarities? The biggest challenges? He's obviously got it down to a science because both programs are usually near the top of the pack in the rankings.

As the school year winds down, we thought we’d get in a little track and field before it all wraps up. Who better to educate us than a four time Olympian? And that’s exactly what Jud Logan is, as well as the head coach at Ashland University. As you’ll hear, Jud runs his program like a finely tuned machine, so it’s no surprise the results are top notch. Hope you enjoy learning about a new sport…I know I sure did. FYI, we could use some more ratings/reviews in iTunes…so how about it...
2017-05-2429 minThe DII Sports PodcastEp. 028 - Wayne Cavadi: Writer for NCAA.comFor the second time in a couple weeks we're joined by Wayne Cavati from NCAA.com. Why you might ask is he already back on? It's because the baseball and softball playoffs are upon us and no one knows this stuff better than Wayne. That's no exaggeration. After talking to him for 20 minutes my head is spinning trying to figure out how he has all this knowledge about the DII sports scene. It really is impressive. Hope you enjoy the conversation!

I tell ya, the NFL has done a masterful job of staying relevant year-round. Over the next few days dreams will come true and dreams will be shattered. Sure, most of the names called out by Roger Goodell will come from the major programs like Alabama, Florida, USC, Penn State, etc. But trust me when I tell you that there will be quite a few players from DII programs that get drafted into the big time. In many ways I think those players have an edge because they've had a much harder...
2017-04-2622 minThe DII Sports PodcastEp. 024 - Mike Davenport: Softball Head Coach at North GeorgiaThis week we're sticking with softball and talking to Mike Davenport, the longtime head coach at North Georgia. Going back to my days of playing for Coach Paterno at Penn State, I'm always impressed by coaches who stay at one program for years or even decades. I always wonder how they can keep doing it at the same place for so long? How do they keep it fresh? Do they change things up or keep it the same year after year? We discussed all this and more with Coach Davenport. Hope you enjoy it. Let us know by leaving a...

Parnell: Defensive End from North AlabamaWith the NFL Draft being held later this month, we wanted to dip back into football this week by interviewing E.J. Parnell, defensive end from North Alabama. I had the chance to work with E.J. earlier this year as he was preparing for the draft. Coming from DII, the cards are really stacked against any player trying to make it to the NFL. Hearing this interview I think you'll come away with a sense of just how much these kids go through to get a crack at the big time. E.J. has an amazing story and it's...

We were lucky enough to have both head coaches, Robyn Fralick and Ben McCollum, on the podcast earlier in the year. If you didn't hear them the first time around we're going to rerun them this week. It's no small feat to win a national title and I really think it's worth hearing their stories again. How Ashland didn't lose one game, not ONE, all season long. And how NWM did it by NEVER playing any zone defense...

Up until now we've felt like a curse for some of the players and coaches that we've had on...here's hoping that we break that curse and the Bearcats win three more games and cut down the nets! Enjoy this interview...

Not only the season, but the basketball career for Hadyn. And I think that's what you'll hear in this episode. It wasn't so much about the season but more about life in general. What happens when it's all over...
