January 28, 2020 - Texas Basketball Continues to Struggle Jan 28, 2020

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns' struggles on the hardwood continued, at least for the men, as their losing streak extended to three games after falling to the LSU Tigers during the Big 12/SEC Challenge. The Longhorns' look to be headed for another lost season, as they currently sit two games below .500 and will likely be underdogs for the rest of the season. On the women's side, Texas is flying high on a four-game win streak after a come-from-behind victory over the Oklahoma State Cowgirls. Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

January 23, 2020 - Ground Game Retrospective Jan 23, 2020

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns found some success on the ground this season, but the production in the ground game could not be called consistent. With injuries leaving Keaontay Ingram as the only healthy, proven running back, quarterback Roschon Johnson stepped into the role and was able to make big contributions. But what are the other stories from the ground game and how does that spin forward to a 2020 season where the running back room should be more stable? Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

January 16, 2020 - Texas Passing Game Retrospective Jan 16, 2020

Show notes

With the college football season officially in the rearview mirror, it's time to take a step back and look at the season that was. The Texas Longhorns may not have had the season fans expected, but the Longhorns managed to put up several solid performances in the passing game. Sam Ehlinger continues to put his name among the top quarterbacks in school history, while Devin Duvernay had one of the greatest receiving seasons in school history.

January 9, 2020 - More Coaching News Jan 09, 2020

Show notes

The coaching situation for the Texas Longhorns football team continues to change as interviews take place with the new coordinators. Reports came out Wednesday that interim defensive coordinator and safeties coach Craig Naivar is moving on, while defensive line coach Oscar Giles would remain for the staff. That means that at least one coaching spot is filled with three left to go for new defensive coordinator Chris Ash. On the offensive side, new offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich did not call plays for the Ohio State Buckeyes, but ran the show for six years for the Oklahoma State Cowboys. We welcomed in Phillip Slavin of Cowboys Ride for Free and the Ten12 Podcast to give some insight into what fans should expect from Yurcich. Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.
