Off the Rails Episode 122: We have four primary systems

Recorded September 5, 2025

The AV SuperFriends are back with two special guests, Casey Sisco (UTSA) and Atkins Fleming (Texas State). This one covers it all: from facial recognition at football stadiums, to the never-ending challenges of digital signage. 

The highlight of the show is our Weekly Rivalry segment, where Texas State and UTSA face off in a sports-style showdown for AV & IT bragging rights. With Casey and Atkins representing their campuses, the panel covers standards, design strategies, and the quirks that make each team unique. Touchdowns are scored, safeties called, and by the end we’ve got a winner crowned in the I-35 Showdown.

It’s rivalry, it’s comedy, and it’s AV therapy, all rolled into one.
