July 6, 2023 - Running Backs Preview Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns are in the unenviable position of having to replace both Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson, two players who drove the offense a year ago.

That being said the Longhorns have a stable of young, talented, but unproven backs to try and fill the two massive holes left from a year ago. In every year as a head coach, Steve Sarkisian has had a 1,000-yard rusher so what will it look like and will that streak stay alive in a post-Bijan/Roschon world?

July 4, 2023 - Kansas State Preview Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

We continue our preview of the Texas Longhorns' 2023 season and have made our way to the defending Big 12 Champions, the Kansas State Wildcats.

A year ago, KSU won just its third conference championship ever post-World War II and the first one coached by someone other than Bill Snyder. In year five, Chris Klieman may face one of the toughest challenges of his tenure in Manhattan, replacing Malik Knowles and Deuce Vaughn as expectations for the program rise.

So what can we expect from Kansas State in 2023?

June 30, 2023 - Quinn Ewers' Expectations Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

As we move into the dog days of summer, we start to dive into our position-by-position preview for the Texas Longhorns starting with the quarterback.

Quinn Ewers led the charge for Texas a year ago, looking like a different quarterback before his injury against the Alabama Crimson Tide and through the rest of the season. So what do we expect for the junior signal-caller in his second year in the program and what will happen

June 28, 2023 - TCU Horned Frogs Preview Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

We continue through our weekly schedule preview with the TCU Horned Frogs and Melissa Triebwasser of The Frogs Insider Podcast.

We dive in on what the mood and expectations are like following an unexpected run at a national championship, how TCU will replace key talent -- and a coordiantor -- on the offensive side of the ball, and how good can the defense be as they try to figure it all out.

June 22, 2023 - Iowa State Preview and Director's Cupdate Jun 22, 2023

Show notes

As the academic and athletic season comes to a close, we take a moment to pause on a successful year in spite of a few disappointing endings to the year and finishing behind the Stanford Cardinal in the Director's Cup standings. We bring on Brett Wilkinson, the man behind the Director's Cupdates Twitter account, to help us look back at where things could have gone differently.

We also move onto week two of our season preview series with Game 11, the Iowa State Cyclones. We welcome back longtime friend of the show Levi Stevenson to help us dive in on an Iowa State team dealing with something brand new for them -- uncertainty.

June 20, 2023 - Recruiting Roundup and Tech Preview Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

As we start the summer, so does the big recruiting season for the Texas Longhorns. With one of two marquee recruiting weekends out of the way and one more on the horizon, we welcome in Hudson Standish of Horns247 to help us break down the recent and coming events. We dive in on the weekend's two big commitments, what momentum Texas is building, and what they hope for this coming weekend of recruiting.

We also begin our summer preview series, diving in on the final opponent on the schedule, the Texas Tech Red Raiders with the help of Jeramey Dane from the Tortillas and Takes podcast. We discuss expectations in year two for Joey McGuire, what consistency at the QB position will mean for the Red Raiders, and how they can reload the defense.

June 15, 2023 - Capping the Athletic Year Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns baseball team went to Palo Alto for a Super Regional for a matchup against the Stanford Cardinal for a shot to advance to Omaha for the College World Series.

After a come-from-behind win in the opener, the Longhorns couldn't get over the hump and dropped back-to-back games to the Cardinal, ending their season one win shy of Omaha. The loss to the Cardinal officially brings an end to the Longhorns' 2022-23 athletic year, with a second-place finish in the Director's Cup standings behind the aforementioned Cardinal. The strong finish wouldn't have been possible without the efforts of the women's track and field team, turning in yet another national championship headlined by the stellar performance of Julien Alfred.

June 6, 2023 - Regional Sweep Jun 06, 2023

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns are once again finding their stride on the diamond after going 3-0 in the Coral Gables regional and advancing to the Super Regional once again, making it one step closer to a return trip to Omaha. Texas seemingly put it all together on the road, highlighted by a career pitching performance in game two and a huge offensive explosion in game 3 to seal the deal. Now Texas heads to Palo Alto to take on Stanford, the only other team left in the tournament that made it to the College World Series a year ago.

We also take a look at how Dillon Mitchell's return impacts the basketball team next year and dive in on the commitment of blue chip quarterback KJ Lacey to kick off the summer recruiting season.

June 1, 2023 - Postseason Roundup Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns were in action across the postseason landscape, with baseball, softball, track and field, rowing, golf, and tennis all competing for team and individual championships at both the conference and national levels. It wasn't as successful of a weekend as it has been in years past. Still, there's plenty to take pride in as Texas officially becomes one of just two schools in the country to send a team to the postseason in football, baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball, volleyball, and softball for the 2022-23 academic year.

We cruise through the results, as well as some staffing moves, roster updates, and run down the recently-released game times so you can start planning your fall. All that, plus our streaming recommendations in the Godzillatron segment and what we're watching on the national sports landscape as we Bang the Drum.

May 24, 2023 - Top Seed in the Big 12 Tournament May 24, 2023

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns needed to sweep the West Virginia Mountaineers to get a share of the Big 12 title and did just that, locking down the top seed in the conference tournament with the help of the Oklahoma Sooners. Now, Texas is in prime position to not only claim another title but position itself to host a regional with a few good wins in the Big 12 Tournament.

We also dive in on the softball team's big winning weekend, men's tennis and women's golf falling short in the NCAA Tournament, some basketball roster updates, and of course our streaming recommendations in Godzillatron.
