December 26, 2019 - Alamo Bowl Preview Dec 26, 2019

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns are a week away from squaring off with the Utah Utes in the Valero Alamo Bowl. Texas is in transition with both coordinators replaced after struggling with consistency on both sides of the ball this season. Utah is one game removed from being in contention for the College Football Playoff, but the Oregon Ducks dominated the Utes and took the Pac-12 spot in the Rose Bowl. How does Texas compare to one of the best defenses in the country and how can the Longhorns hope to stop the Utah running game? Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

December 24, 2019 - Potential Coordinators and NSD1 Dec 24, 2019

Show notes

Stadium's Brett McMurphy reported Sunday that Ohio State Buckeyes passing game coordinator Mike Yurcich is the lead candidate for the Texas Longhorns' vacant offensive coordinator position. Prior to Ohio State, Yurcich spent six seasons as the offensive coordinator for the Oklahoma State Cowboys, calling plays for high-powered Mike Gundy offenses. Whoever ends up as the offensive coordinator will have plenty of players to slot into his system, as Texas secured the signatures of 17 athletes as part of the early signing period. How do they fit into the short and long-term at Texas and who will contribute early? Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.

December 10, 2019 - Bowl Selection and Basketball Beats TAMU Dec 10, 2019

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns drew a tough matchup in the Alamo Bowl, taking on the No. 11 Utah Utes, coming off of a disappointing showing in the Pac-12 Championship game against the Oregon Ducks. Texas hopes a good performance against Tyler Huntley and the Utah offense, while Sam Ehlinger needs another good performance to close out the season. On the hardwood, Texas took care of business against rival Texas A&M Aggies to improve to 8-1, but remains unranked with three non-conference games left.

November 25, 2019 - Baylor Recap Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

The Texas Longhorns went into their matchup with the Baylor Bears with a lot to prove and seemingly left without proving anything as they walked away with a 24-10 loss. The defense continued to look solid while the offense once again regressed, struggling to get anything going and saving some face thanks to a last-second touchdown. What does Texas do now as they try to lock in a winning record, which feels like a disappointment following the 2018 season? Connect with the show on Twitter and Facebook.
