The Flagship: Breaking down the Big 12 ahead of fall camp Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

Fall camp is right around the corner as the Big 12 conference continues to wait to make plans for the upcoming football season.

In this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes dive in deep into the Big 12 Conference and teams that pose the most threat to Texas as the Longhorns look to finally turn the corner and make a Big 12 title run. Texas has the talent on the roster and Tom Herman's revamped coaching staff ready to lead the team to a successful 2020 season, but it will be far from easy navigating through this year's Big 12 Conference, which is expected to field some solid teams this season with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State leading the preseason pack as the league's Top 2 teams, according to Big 12 media votes.

But the conference is far from a three-team battle. Iowa State returns a bevy of talent from last year's team including quarterback Brock Purdy, while Kansas State proved in Year 1 under Chris Klieman that the Wildcats are still going to be a team to look out for even without Bill Snyder leading the charge.

The Flagship then turns the focus to the weekly 'Love it or Leave it' segment, with this week's topics including trap games on the Longhorns' schedule, what to expect from Baylor this season, if Oklahoma will continue its dominance or take a step back with a first-time starter at quarterback and revisit some of our favorite hilarious memories from previous Big 12 Media Days.

Catch all of that and much more in this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast.

The Flagship: Catching up with former Texas DL Casey Hampton Jul 27, 2020

Show notes

Former Texas All-American Casey Hampton knows what it takes to be great, and he proved that during his time spent with the Longhorns. A two-time leading tackler for the Texas defensive, Hampton remains one of the most talented defensive tackles to ever suit up in burnt orange, and his professional career proves just that.

After leaving Texas, Hampton was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 19 overall in the first round of the 2001 NFL Draft and spent the following 12 seasons with the organization in a time-frame that included five Pro Bowl selections and two Super Bowl rings.

Hampton officially hung up his cleats in 2012 after he spent all 12 of his professional seasons in Pittsburgh. During his time with the Steelers, Hampton saw action in 173 games, with 164 starts, and racked up 398 tackles, 39 tackles for loss, 12 QB hurries and nine sacks.

In this week's Monday episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown sits down with Hampton in an exclusive one-on-one with the Longhorn Legend. The two discuss everything from him calling out Chris Simms after he threw a pick-six to Kansas to what it was like to play for one of the best Steelers' teams in recent history and much more.

Catch all of that and more in this week's Monday episode of The Flagship Podcast.

Longhorn Blitz: Maximizing Sam Ehlinger's final season at Texas Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

The latest Longhorn Blitz podcast examines how the end result of Mike Yurcich's debut as Texas offensive coordinator can be a maximization of Sam Ehlinger's final season with the Longhorns. What lesson can Yurcich and the offensive braintrust on the Forty Acres learn from LSU's success watching Joe Brady elevate Joe Burrow to the Heisman Trophy and the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft that can help take Ehlinger's game to another level?

The Flagship: Texas proceeds with plans to limit football stadium capacity to 50 percent Jul 22, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to another episode of The Flagship Podcast. After taking a week hiatus for vacation, The Flagship returns with a loaded show Wednesday as Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes dive in to some of the hot topics to make headlines over the last week.

One of the most significant headlines that appeared this week came from the University of Texas athletic department when Texas AD Chris Del Conte submitted a letter to season ticket holders detailing the current plan to limit fan attendance to 50 percent for home games at Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium this season in accordance with state guidelines. But how will this work for the Longhorns if other teams are not doing the same? Chip and Taylor also turn their focus to the Big 12 Media Preseason Poll, which had Texas picked No. 3 in the conference by the league's media members. The show then turns its focus to news that went down over the weekend when redshirt junior cornerback Kobe Boyce announced his intention to step away from football for mental health reasons. Boyce's departure adds another blow to the secondary after junior cornerback Anthony Cook entered his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal earlier this month, but what long-term impact could this have for the position and first-year cornerbacks coach Jay Valai?

The Flagship returns our weekly segment, Love it or Leave it, with this week's topics centered around Texas fans level of concern following the Longhorns losing out on legacy recruits Tommy and James Brockermeyer — whose dad played at Texas and brother is a current member on the Longhorns' roster — after the Top247 prospects committed to Alabama over Texas, changes Texas has brought to the football program in the renaming of the field to Campbell-Williams field and erecting a statue of Julius Whittier, if the Big 12 media got the Longhorns' preseason ranking right and more.

The Flagship: Catching up with former Texas RB Jeremy Hills, who's training Greg Kelley in his journey back to football Jul 20, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to this week's interview episode of The Flagship Podcast, featuring special guest and former Texas running back, Jeremy Hills.

After Hills hung up his football cleats, he has focused his attention on training football players and athletes, including one of his clients who is also the subject of the new, shocking Showtime documentary "Outcry," Greg Kelley. A former Leander high school safety, Kelley was stripped of his football future when he was wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit and subsequently spent three years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

After Kelley was exonerated of all charges and released from prison, he has set his focus back on achieving what the justice system wrongly took away from him: the chance to play college football. Kelley was among the group of potential Longhorns looking to walk-on at Texas before the COVID-19 shut down halted the walk-on tryouts for the Longhorns.

Hills has spent the last three years training Kelley during his journey back to the football field, and has nothing but glowing remarks about Kelley the person and Kelley the football player, who's tragic story has become part of the national spotlight on Showtime's documentary, "Outcry."

Catch all Hills had to say about Kelley, including his work ethic and motivation on his journey back to football, and Hills latest ventures training football players on this week's Monday episode of The Flagship Podcast.
