EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. — The ESU football team is gearing up for the PSAC Championship game, and the men's basketball team is five days away from kicking off the 2026-27 season. Before either team gets going, they'll join the ESU Coaches Show tonight at 5 p.m. at Teddy's University.
 
Fresh off clinching the PSAC East title, HC Jimmy Terwilliger joins host Chuck Seese to start the show, recapping the Warriors' 54-14 win at Millersville. They'll also look ahead to a rematch against No. 6 Slippery Rock next week, with chances at both revenge and a championship on the line. Afterwards, offensive linemen Pat Reynolds and Nico Ippolito hop on the table to discuss what's worked for the Warriors up front offensively, even with the late-season injuries they've faced. Wrapping up the show's football coverage, DL Jake Williamson and DB Leyden Hertz talk about what's changed for the team's defense since their first meeting against The Rock and how they'll be ready for the second meeting.
 
Hitting the road this weekend as well, the men's basketball team opens its season in Petersburg, Va., for a pair of games against Bowie State and Virginia State. Picked second in the PSAC East Preseason Poll, HC Jeff Wilson talks to Seese about the prospects of the upcoming campaign, with plenty of veterans returning from previous squads. Last year's captains are the same, and they'll be back on the show, too. Guard Davon Lee and forward Jalen Pichardo sit down with Seese to talk about the preseason and how the team is ready to get the season going this week.
 
As always, we'll close the show with AJ Moncman for AJ's View.
