The Republic of Football podcast is a must-listen for any college football fan, especially those with a particular focus on the teams in the great state of Texas. Hosted by two knowledgeable and passionate presenters, this podcast offers thoughtful analysis, entertaining discussions, and in-depth coverage of both major and smaller football programs. Whether you're a Longhorn grad or an avid supporter of a smaller school like UTSA, this podcast has something for everyone.
One of the best aspects of The Republic of Football podcast is the great content it consistently delivers. The presenters are well-informed and provide insightful analysis on everything from game recaps to player performance and coaching decisions. They dive deep into the details while also offering valuable perspective on the bigger picture of college football in Texas. It's clear that they have done their research and are dedicated to providing listeners with accurate and up-to-date information.
Furthermore, the presenters are articulate and engaging throughout each episode, making it easy to stay engaged with the content. They have a good rapport with each other, striking a balance between casual conversation and informative discussion. Their enthusiasm for the subject matter shines through, adding an extra layer of entertainment value to every episode.
However, one aspect that could be improved upon is the excessive use of certain filler phrases such as "you know," "I mean," and "again." While these phrases may help fill gaps in thoughts or transitions, they can become repetitive and distract from the otherwise compelling content being presented. Finding alternative ways to smooth out transitions or reducing reliance on these phrases would make for an even better listening experience.
In conclusion, The Republic of Football podcast is a top-tier show that offers great insight into college football in Texas. It provides informative analysis from knowledgeable presenters who have a genuine passion for the sport. While there could be some improvements in terms of filler phrases, overall it's an excellent podcast that is definitely worth checking out for any avid college football fan.

Welcome to Episode #51 of the No Conference for Old Men Podcast. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" as the Houston Cougars ended the season 35-5. After an epic comeback win to beat Duke 70-67 in the semis (inflicting a bit of revenge for last season), it all came crashing down in a last-minute 65-63 loss to Florida in the championship game, where UH led by 12 early in the second half. We were all hoping for a deserving "storybook" ending that would result in our 1st National Championship, but this is the beauty & cruelty of sport. It cannot be scripted like a movie. So the three old men summarize the two final games in a historic season for our Cougars. And then look forward to what could be another Championship run next season, with 3 5-star freshmen joining the team to pair with Emanuel Sharp & Jojo Tugler. Please have a listen as the 3 Old Men summarize the wonderful season & look forward to next year. - No Conference for Old Men is available for free via Spotify / Apple Podcast / SoundCloud & the GoCoogs.com website; we're also available via the Republic of Football Podcast feed from the folks at Dave Campbell's Texas Football as their only basketball-centric offering - Intro / Exit music: Ground Zero provided by FreeBeats.io - Please follow us on gocoogs.com/old-men/ Learn more about your ad choices.

UH is 34-4 and in the Final Four for a 7th time (tied for 10th all-time across all programs)! To make it to San Antonio, it took an exquisitely executed, last-second BLOB play against Purdue, followed by a blasting of Tennessee by 19 points in the Elite Eight. After two de facto road games, Houston now gets to reap the benefits of being able to make this final push in our backyard. The 3 Old Men recap the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games, and break down the upcoming Duke game (as well as the potentially looming Auburn/Florida game for the National Championship).
