We’re officially in preseason mode, and Leah Klenke and Kate Phillips are bringing the heat. In this episode, the duo breaks down what those early matchups actually teach a team — from tough lessons vs. Kansas State and Indiana to figuring out how to get the freshmen locked in and game-ready.
They get into the nitty gritty of film review (spoiler: it’s not always pretty) and talk about how seeing the big picture helps shape team identity before the real grind begins.
Plus, they unpack what rankings really mean — or don’t. Leah’s team sits at #2, but she’s keeping it real: "Preseason polls really don’t mean anything." It’s all about showing up and proving it on the field.
With big games ahead against Western Michigan and Arkansas, the energy is high and we wish both our fantastic new hosts a great season to boot!!
