The Dragons Head Coach speaks Dragon with Nate and Dan. From the transfer portal to NIL, a whirlwind of topics are covered, and the table is set for a productive summer in West Philadelphia (and Italy).
Nate, Bill and Dan wrap up the season finales for the Drexel men and women, and turn the page to 22-23. A discussion of the Portal, Cam Wynter and Xavier Bell, and why it is easier to figure out who is a Dragon right now than who isn't. A Spiker outlook comes in and all in all...
Nate and Dan give their thoughts ahead of the CAA Women's Basketball Championship that will be hosted in the DAC this weekend. Led by Hannah and Keishana, the defending champion Dragons walk in with six seniors and a number one seed as they set out to go back to back.
The guys also talk about the all tourney teams, and drop some hints around the men's programs offseason.
It's tourney time at the DAC!
Nate, Dan and Eric talk about end of season awards and the tourney to be. Does it get better than a first round rivalry game with the conferences big dog on deck for round two?
The guys preview the entire bracket and pick a winner next - actually each guy picked a different winner.
They then pivot over to talk about the Drexel Women's Basketball team that clinched the regular season title on Thursday night and looks to complete an undefeated season on the road today. Undefeated in true road games but lost to teams at home? Yeah, that comes up as well.
One thing is for sure this weekend. It's a great day to be a Dragon!
Nate breaks down the 2-1 Drexel weekend, Dan and Eric talk about some of the best senior classes this school has ever seen and then Eric baits Dan into talking about attendance at the DAC. Apologies for our first explicit lyrics but as Nate said, sometimes it is deserved.
Then we start looking onto March Madness which starts this weekend! More to come this week, stay tuned!
Nate, Dan and Eric are joined by Bill Martin to breakdown the week in Drexel hoops. They add some thoughts on Robert Battle and later a certain Dr. Z's name comes up. With the tournament around the corner tag along and see how the teams are shaping up (hint: it's very well)
Nate and Dan are joined by Bill Martin this week, and get a chance to speak with Drexel great Robert Battle. Robert takes us through the winding road that took him to Drexel, as well as highlights of his playing career under two different coaches in two different conferences.
The guys also spend some time speaking to Robert about the current years edition of the Dragons, and what Amari Williams' ceiling might be - and why. And everyone agrees with what the University of Delaware now knows - Keishana Washington is trouble if you're in an opposing jersey.
Thanks to Robert for joining the Pod, and we look forward to having him back again in the near future to fill us in about his pro career!
Nate, Dan and Eric talk about, well, just about everything:
Drexel men go 2-2 over the past eight days
The ladies recover and roll through a road trip with an easy 2-0, going into their BIGGEST GAME OF THE SEASON
There's good Japanese food in Newark, De??
Jill Axel and the Drexel front office does right by Nate (and others!)
A whole section on just what Villanova has in Denise Dillion, and she also does right by Nate (and his kids!)
Eric Zillmer gets a shout out!
Dan riffs on the difference between IUC and JMU (hint, its money)
It's everything that you want to hear and so much more. Welcomeeeeeeee, to the big show!
Nate, Dan and Eric discuss the week that was for the Dragons, including a big road win for Coach Spiker's team and a historic streak snapped (maybe a good thing?) for the Drexel women. At the half hour mark Nate takes it off the court for his first rant of the year. Then, at @39:34 the gang is joined by Long Island based sportswriter and Hofstra alum, Jerry Beach, who talks Hofstra, Stony Brook and who he thinks the top dogs in the CAA are as the season hits the stretch run.
For more from Jerry: https://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/
And for a direct link to the referenced piece on James Madison: https://defiantlydutch.blogspot.com/2022/02/james-madisons-caa-goodbye-filled-with.html
Brian Mull joins the crew to walk through the CAA as we hit the season's halftime. Additionally, he discusses realignment with a focus on the southern end of the conference, and the strengths and areas of opportunity for the league as major changes begin. Then, Nate, Dan and Eric pivot to yet another 3-1 weekend for Drexel basketball, featuring a number of highs, and a really tough low.
It was homecoming weekend on campus and it began in dominating fashion for the men and women's team both.
And that stopped abruptly. Nate, Dan and Eric go over the week that was, and what it means for a VERY important week to come for both squads.
Next week: Sportswriter and guy we really like Brian Mull joins us to go around the CAA as we hit the halfway point in conference play
Former NU manager Mike Brodsky and former DAC Pack President Anthony D'Angelo join Nate and Dan to try to figure out all the angles on realignment. Who comes and who goes? A very fun and enlightening discussion ensures, ending with predictions - of mayhem?
PLUS: Two minutes on why we have it better (we should do this every episode!) and a rundown on why we're not going to talk long about whether or not there was a travel in the women's game Tuesday night. Two teams entered undefeated, only one left that way.
Nate and Dan break down a busy 3-2 week among the Dragon programs. Then, prior to looking at the week ahead, a brief conversation on conference realignment, including the how, the why, maybe some of the who, and what it all means for Drexel
Special guest Marshall Fleming joins us to talk about a three win week as both the men's and women's team begin conference season with wins. Sometimes it doesn't need to be pretty, good teams find a way to win, and Drexel has two defending champs who are getting it done.
Drexel kicks off the CAA season from the comfy confines of the DAC vs Towson on national TV. Also, we talk JMU's departure, FloSports, Dirt Track Racing and why the Dragons need to throw a punch tomorrow.
It’s happened 19 years in the making if you’re counting DAC Pack years and 25 since the last time the Dragons men danced. So we got the band back together to celebrate!
We review the Top 3 Players on the Roster in 2019-20 Season and mostly agree on them but debate whether the Second Best Player in 2019-20 should remain in that spot for 2020-21. Also we have some feelings about FloSports.

We return after the missing season catching up on what happened last season both in terms of our podcast and the Drexel Basketball season, the CAA Tournament in DC, the roster changes going into the next season and have a deep discussion on Bill level optimism.
We believer in the Black Lives Matter movement and here's how you can help
Leading up to the 2019-20 Season of Drexel Basketball, we sit down with Coach to continue talking about the schedule, replacing lost scoring and what to expect. This is the second of two parts of our chat.
Leading up to the 2019-20 Season of Drexel Basketball, we sit down with Coach to talk about new faces, recruiting and the regular season schedule. This is the first of two parts of our chat, the second part will published next week.
We are back after over a month to discuss what we all consider to be a successful about the season, a season with its fair share of adversity highs and lows and going into the tournament with no expectations. We'd like a Monday game but that would be icing on the season, lets go Dragons!
Marshall and Bill interview junior Bailey Greenberg, star forward for the women’s basketball team discussing everything from being recruited by and choosing Drexel, performing through adversity, and what kind of legacy she wants to leave when her playing career is over.
Leading up to the half way point game against SUCKS we discuss what we liked and didn't like in the last few games before we answer tough questions like ...
Can we shake this injury bug? Will we able to finish the second half as strong as our .500 start? Will Coach Spiker use timeouts in the first half? Has the DAC been taken back? Who needs to step up for us to finish strong? Will Hofstra get an at large bid if they pull a Drexel circa 2011-12? And most important of all, when do you storm?
Post game thoughts after a loss against William & Mary where we discuss the CAA opponents thus far and what we need to do with our defense to get back into the swing of things and how realistic that goal is. We also debate whether Alihan is/could be a top 5 Drexel Big Man and wish on our lucky stars that the next game sees Troy Harper back.
We also have a special guest join Marshall at the end to preview the College of Charleston game, from the CofC podcast Holy City Hoops, Tommy Glasgow.
Post game thoughts after losing a “home” game against Temple at the Palestra where we struggle to make sense of the turnover problem, scoring droughts and missed opportunities. We also take solace in that none of our players dunked on their own basket and look ahead to our first CAA Matchup.
We hope this holiday season finds all of you and yours merry and well. A Very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us!
