August 24, 2026-With the college football season starting this week, it is time for a new season of Hornet Talk. Emporia State's weekly coaches show held live at 627 Bar & Grill in downtown Emporia and available on KFFX 104.9FM as well as the Emporia State YouTube channel.
 
The first show of the season will be on Monday, August 24. This year the show will move upstairs to the 627 Event Space. The upstairs location will allow for a more dedicated experience for the show, while still being able to show it on the TVs downstairs.

Each show will feature insight from Hornet Football Coach Garin Higgins, an assistant coach and player and combined with 627's delicious menu, great drink specials, and lively crowd, Hornet Talk is set to be a can't-miss weekly tradition. For more information about 627 and to check out the menu, follow them on Facebook here.

The football version of the show will continue through November 16 before transitioning into basketball mode.
