To The Top Talk is a Southern Miss sports show with the feel of a familiar pregame table in Hattiesburg. Jason Bailey hosts, and Patrick Lowry is the steady voice in the conversation, bringing the quick agreement, side comments, and local shorthand that keep the show moving. The center of gravity is Southern Miss athletics, but the recent run shows how wide that can get. One episode is racing the clock before Mississippi State. Another is catching its breath after Alabama and looking ahead to baseball season. Another is sorting through basketball results, free throws, three-point shooting, and the reality of legs fading late. The show is casual, but it is not vague. It names games, opponents, roster concerns, and the texture around the program. Baseball gets special attention. Opening weekend at The Pete, The Roost, hats from Golden Standard, and the mood around another season all become part of the coverage. Football still matters, especially when Scott Watkins joins to talk roster needs, quarterback questions, defensive backs, linemen, and transfer movement. Interviews can stretch into memory and routine, as in the conversation about pitching preparation, tournament days, and the mental side of taking the ball again and again. The show also makes room for the small community signals: Nitro birthday mentions, local ads, listener mail, social handles, merch drops, and the push toward more video. That looseness is part of its charm. It starts with chatter because the chatter is not separate from the fandom. It is how this fan base talks itself into the next game. The result is warm, inside-baseball coverage for people who care about Southern Miss beyond the final score. It is best for listeners who want local feeling with their analysis, not a polished national-sports gloss.
Made for: Built for Southern Miss fans who follow the games, the roster movement, the ballpark rhythm, and the Hattiesburg context around it all. It especially fits listeners who enjoy conversational fan analysis more than studio-clean sports radio.
What sets it apart: The show stands out through its local density: The Pete, The Roost, Golden Standard hats, birthday shoutouts, guest drop-ins, and week-to-week Southern Miss mood all sit beside actual game and roster talk. It feels close to the program without pretending to be detached.
