3 OCT 2026 · October might just be the BEST month on the sports calendar — and Episode 102 of The Inside Drive Podcast is packed with MLB playoff baseball, college football, NFL talk and Bay County high school football!
Ryan Mulvey is joined by former MLB pitcher and Chapman Wealth Management owner Jaye Chapman for an hour of sports talk, stories and debate.
⚾ MLB PLAYOFF BASEBALL
Jaye brings a former Major League pitcher's perspective to October baseball as we break down what really wins in the postseason.
We discuss:
• Why the hottest team can be more dangerous than the best regular-season team
• Rest vs. rhythm for teams earning a first-round bye
• Starting pitching vs. bullpen management
• Analytics vs. a manager trusting his gut
• Situational hitting in playoff baseball
• Managing pitchers through a long postseason series
• Stars vs. roster depth
• The pressure of being a championship favorite
• What makes a great playoff atmosphere
• Jaye's October predictions
Jaye also shares firsthand insight into the physical toll bullpen work can take on a pitcher — including the impact of repeatedly warming up even when you never enter the game.
🏈 COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEKEND PREVIEW
We break down several of the biggest games on the college football schedule, including:
🔥 Alabama vs. Mississippi State
🔥 Ohio State vs. Iowa
🔥 Florida vs. Missouri
🔥 Miami vs. Clemson
🔥 Virginia vs. Florida State
One of the biggest debates centers on Alabama's decision to travel to Starkville the morning of its 11:00 AM game against Mississippi State.
Is traveling on game day a smart way to keep the players in their normal routine — or an unnecessary risk before a major SEC matchup?
Ryan and Jaye discuss the decision, the challenges of game-day travel and how preparation can affect performance.
🏈 BAY COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
The conversation then turns local as we preview another big week of Bay County high school football, including:
🏈 Freeport at Rutherford — Rutherford Homecoming
🏈 Bay High at Madison County
🏈 Arnold at Blountstown
🏈 Rocky Bayou Christian at Bozeman — Bozeman Homecoming
We discuss what Rutherford needs coming off its open week, whether Bay High's ability to win close games makes the Tornadoes more dangerous, how Arnold can create more offensive consistency and what Bozeman needs to do to bounce back.
We also look ahead to the growing excitement surrounding the Mosley vs. Bay High matchup on October 30.
🎙️ PLUS: RAPID FIREJaye faces some tough sports-pressure scenarios:
Would you rather attempt a game-winning 45-yard field goal or hit with two outs in the ninth?
Shoot two free throws or sink a five-foot putt to win the Masters?
Take the deciding penalty kick in a World Cup Final or try to stop it?
And what's more intimidating — catching a punt with defenders closing in or facing a 100 MPH fastball?
👇 JOIN THE CONVERSATION
What is the best month on the sports calendar?
Was Alabama's decision to travel to Mississippi State on game day a good idea?
Who are you picking in this weekend's biggest college football games?
And which Bay County football matchup are you watching?

17 SEP 2026 · Were the 1990s really better, or do we just remember them that way? On Episode 98 of The Inside Drive Podcast, Ryan Mulvey is joined by Jay Hendley of GolfWithJay.com for a trip back to one of the most memorable decades in sports, music, movies, video games and pop culture.
Ryan and Jay break down what made growing up in the ’90s different — from Blockbuster nights and pickup games to Nintendo 64, GoldenEye, Mortal Kombat, ’90s country, grunge, TGIF television and life before smartphones and social media.
