THE ROOST PODCAST: Houston Preview with the Scott & Holman Pawdcast Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

UH is a "power conference team" now and have bailed on us going forward (cowards!), but we've got one more Bayou Bucket to look forward to! So of course, Matt and Carter had to have our pals Sam and Bobby from the Scott & Holman Pawdcast to talk the crosstown Cougars. Can Willie Fritz get the offense functional this year [this is how you know they're not in the American anymore]? Is there anything sillier than bailing on the Bucket for a contrived, space-themed rivalry with UCF (no)? Plus, an extended intro, on The Conference Formerly Known as the AAC going for a rebrand, and preseason poll silliness.

Old Men podcast: Chatting with UH Sr. Assoc AD Alvin Franklin Jul 23, 2025

Show notes

Welcome to another "Special Edition" offseason Episode (#53) of the No Conference for Old Men Podcast.

Two of the 3 Old Men had the privilege to sit down and chat with Alvin Franklin (Sr Associate Athletics Director / Executive Director of Development at the University of Houston). The landscape in college athletics has shifted beneath our feet with the House Settlement finalizing on June 6th, and fans and listeners have questions amid the ensuing confusion. We spoke to Alvin about all things NIL, revenue sharing, and the Deloitte-led Clearinghouse as it relates to UH. Our questions went far and wide, so hopefully we hit the mark in clarifying some questions for folks (as well as dispelling some of the myths that are out there).

- No Conference for Old Men is available for free via Spotify / Apple Podcast / SoundCloud & the GoCoogs.com website; we're also available via the Republic of Football Podcast feed from the folks at Dave Campbell's Texas Football as their only basketball-centric offering.

- Intro / Exit music: Ground Zero provided by FreeBeats.io
