August 11, 2025 - Linebackers Preview Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns boast one of the most talented groups of linebackers in the country, several of whom are looking to make a splash both for the team and to position themselves for the NFL.

Anthony Hill leads the charge, but with a room six deep that is the envy of most in the country, expect Pete Kwiatkowski to mix things up and have fun with his scheme.

August 7, 2025 - UTEP Miners Preview Aug 07, 2025

The No. 1 Texas Longhorns are just a few weeks away from starting the 2025 season, meaning we are into the non-conference portion of our previews.

UTEP is in the second year of a new coach, with new coordinators on both sides of the ball, hoping to improve on 3-9 from a year ago. What do the Miners look like with all of the new talent and coaching in the Sun Bowl?

August 5, 2025 - Defensive Line Preview Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

We have officially moved onto the defense, with the Texas Longhorns defensive line once again looking to reload after losing an elite pair to the NFL.

Pete Kwiatkowski and Kenny Baker added a ton of talent from the portal to man the interior, while LaAllen Clark leads one of the deepest homegrown units in the country. What advantages does this afford Texas heading into a year where expectations are high?

July 29, 2025 - Offensive Line Preview Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

Our self-scouting continues as we take a dive into the Texas Longhorns' offensive line.

Texas lost the majority of its production from a year ago, replacing both tackles, a guard and a center -- all of which are now on NFL rosters. The remaining players are talented, but have yet to live up to their full potential, as they try to gel with a group of relatively inexperienced, yet talented newcomers.

July 24, 2025 - Florida Gators Preview Jul 24, 2025

Show notes

We are inching ever closer to the kickoff of the 2025 season and this week we preview the SEC opener against the Florida Gators.

This time last year, Billy Napier was on the hot seat, and while he did enough last year to stay around he will need another step forward to keep interest high in the Swamp. How will DJ Lagway's development help that and what will they do at the skill positions to support him?

July 22, 2025 - Pass Catcher Preview Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns once again saw their top pass catchers make their way to the professional ranks with early draft picks, meaning they once again are looking for who will be the top player in the wide receiver room. There is a ton of talent in the room, with top-100 recruits from the last three cycles populating that room, but none of them have been the top guy at Texas yet.

July 17, 2025 - Oklahoma Preview and Recruiting Wins Jul 17, 2025

While prepping for the upcoming season at SEC Media Days, the Texas Longhorns landed a massive recruiting blow to defending champion Georgia with the additions of Tyler Atkinson and James Johnson to the 2026 cycle. We break down what that means for Texas and how they can continue to build a championship-level roster.

We also welcome back to the show Kamiar Mehrabian of the Bud, Barry, Bob, and Beers Podcast to help us preview the Oklahoma Sooners.

We also take time to break down what we hope for the Longhorns at the running back position as they try to get healthy for 2025.

July 10, 2025 - Kentucky Wildcats Preview Jul 10, 2025

Show notes

The season rapidly approaches as we continue through the Texas Longhorns' upcoming schedule week by week.

This week, we land on the Kentucky Wildcats, who are looking to rebound from their worst season under head coach Mark Stoops. They were hit hard during the Transfer Portal window, but also tried to rebuild through it as well -- reshaping their roster from a team that won just won SEC game.
