July 16, 2024 - Oklahoma Sooners Preview Jul 16, 2024

Show notes

We continue to inch closer to the college football season and we continue to work through the Texas Longhorns' schedule with one of the marquee matchups in all of college football, the Red River Showdown against the Oklahoma Sooners.

There's offensive turnover for the Sooners, trading out Dillon Gabriel for sophomore phenom Jackson Arnold. With an offensive line that still has questions, how will the new quarterback fare in the new conference? And what can we expect in 2024 and beyond?

July 9, 2024 - Previewing the Georgia Bulldogs Jul 09, 2024

Show notes

We are in the heart of the summer, which means we are in the heart of our preview series and we've landed on one of the marquee matchups of the year -- the Georgia Bulldogs.

After back-to-back national championships, the Bulldogs fell short of the CFP after a 13-1 season. What are the expectations for the Bulldogs in the new-look SEC?

July 5, 2024 - What do we expect from Quinn Ewers Jul 05, 2024

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns head into the SEC with one of the most experienced quarterbacks in the country, third-year starter Quinn Ewers.

Ewers has been battle-tested, leading Texas to a win in Tuscaloosa and being a one throw away from victory in the CFP semifinal game against Washington. He has seen part of his sophomore and junior seasons derailed by injury, which is part of why he returned to Austin for another season.

So do we think QE has what it takes to stay healthy for 12 regular season games and more? And just how successful do we think he can be?

July 2, 2024 - Vanderbilt Commodores Preview Jul 02, 2024

Show notes

As we continue our trip through the Longhorns' schedule, we come to one of the few road games in the conference schedule as the Longhorns head to Nashville to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores.

It's year four under the new coaching staff and it's hard to draw a straight line of progress for the 'Dores, so what are expectations for 2024 and beyond?

June 28, 2024 - Florida Gators Preview Jun 28, 2024

Show notes

We continue the march through the 2024 schedule, landing on one of the marquee matchups of the year when the Longhorns square off against the Florida Gators.

Part of the reason why Texas changed conferences was to have matchups like this regularly, so what do the Gators bring to the table in 2024? How will Billy Napier's crew look when they come to town in the last third of the season?

June 27, 2024 - Arkansas Razorbacks Preview Jun 27, 2024

Show notes

After taking a week off, we are back into our season preview series with another rival -- the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Sam Pittman's hogs have struggled as of late, specifically on the offensive side of the ball, leading to troubles in recent years. While not on the hot seat yet, Arkansas has a tough road ahead of them that could quickly land Pittman on the hot seat.

To help us preview Arkansas, we welcomed in the hosts of Hogs on the Hill -- a part of The College Huddle -- and got the latest.

June 26, 2024 - Texas Hires Schloss from TAMU Jun 26, 2024

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns made a change at the top of the baseball team, letting go of David Pierce after eight seasons and replacing him with Texas A&M's Jim Schlossnagle.

It was a massive coup for Texas, taking its biggest rival's head the day after they competed for a national championship. Schlossnagle's relationship with Texas athletic director Chris del Conte dates back years, and the Longhorns AD hopes his friend can right the ship at the Disch quickly.

June 13, 2024 - Kentucky Wildcats Preview Jun 14, 2024

Show notes

It's summertime and our preview series continues, with the Texas Longhorns taking on a brand-new cast of foes with the move to the SEC.

Opponent No. 11 on the schedule for Texas are the Kentucky Wildcats, with Mark Stoops -- one of the longest-tenured coaches in the country. What are the expectations for Stoops and his squad in 2024 and what should Texas fans look out for when the two squads square off?

June 11, 2024 - Texas Claims the Director's Cup Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

For the third time in four years, the Texas Longhorns claimed the prize for the top athletics department in the land with the Director's Cup.

The season didn't quite finish off how they hoped, with the softball team falling in the WCWS final to the Oklahoma Sooners, but still one of the best years in school history. Led by championships in Volleyball and Rowing, all but two of the varsity sports finished the season ranked.

We also dive in on coaching changes for the women's golf team and the rest of the All-Americans on campus.

June 6, 2024 - 2024 Schedule Preview: Texas A&M Aggies Jun 06, 2024

Show notes

We are drawing closer to football season every day and that means it's time for our summer previews, going through each week of the Texas Longhorns' schedule with those who know them best.

Starting with Week 12 means we start our preview series with an old rivalry renewed on the field -- the Texas A&M Aggies.

While the other sports have faced off on the courts, it has been more than a decade since the football teams have crossed paths. What could be a pivotal matchup in the rivalry game for both schools, well beyond the rivalry, faces two teams hoping to be the premiere SEC school in the state.
