Big thanks to Saluki interim athletic director and SIU Foundation CEO Matt Kupec for making time for us. The former record-setting North Carolina QB joined us in-studio tonight for an inspiring interview.

Marion quarterback Hunter Simmons announced his intent to sign with SIU on May 7th.  On May 19th he made it official and signed his letter of intent.  Simmons and Matt Varney talk about his single year at Marion, getting the opportunity to be the next local star to make it to SIU, and more!

Carbondale Athletic Director Mark Albertini and Matt Varney discuss the Carbondale Holiday Tournament's fate and the new Route 13 Christmas Tournament.  We also get an update on the Carbondale Basketball Head Coach search:
