Jeff Howe and Gerry Hamilton sat down with new Texas Longhorns head coach Sean Miller for an in-depth, wide-ranging interview. With his first season at Texas about to tip off, Miller laid out his philosophy, roster insights, and expectations for the journey ahead. Building the Foundation: Miller stressed the importance of pace, detail, and defense. His offense will emphasize fast execution—not just quick shots—while the defense starts with a strong man-to-man foundation. The key this season? Don't try to do everything at once—get really good at the essentials first. Analytics Meets Instinct: Miller explained how modern analytics help him identify the best lineups, balance offense and defense, and “fix leaks” when certain combinations don't work. But he still leans on instinct and proven coaching principles to guide decisions. The SEC Challenge: Miller called the SEC “the best conference in college basketball”—loaded with athleticism, physicality, and elite coaching. He compared it to the old Big East but with more speed and defensive playmakers. Scheduling & Growth: Balance is everything. Facing Duke, Maui's gauntlet, and true road games will harden the team, but Miller said November and December aren't the measuring stick. His goal is for Texas to peak in February and March when it matters most. The interview wrapped with Miller's vision: this year is about building steadily, maximizing depth, and molding a team that fans will love to watch because the whole will be greater than the sum of its parts. Season tips off November 4th vs. Duke—and the Miller era begins!

There are certain Saturdays that feel like they were built for college football: the lights, the noise, the choreography of a crowd that feels like it's part of the playbook. This week's conversation at Y-Option, presented by 76–keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, welcomes back Todd Blackledge. On Saturday night, Todd will have the best seat in the house as he broadcasts the Oregon v Penn State game in Happy Valley during the Nittany Lions annual White Out.We dive into what it is like to broadcast a White Out, the match-ups he is looking forward to seeing play out and analyze both Drew Allar and Dante Moore.Todd shared the origin of his own career and how there is a unique connection between the start of his illustrious career and the famed White Out. He also shared how he prepares for a game like this, as he has known for months that NBC and his crew would be on the call.He also shared his truth on what Drew Allar needs to do in this environment and what this top 6 match-up will come down to.I've known Todd since he was calling Big East games back when I was playing and he's been a constant source of inspiration and support since we met in the early 2000s. Be sure to tune into the White Out this Saturday night as this rematch of the Big Ten Championship game from last season may be a classic. And to both fan bases, win or lose, your season is neither complete or ruined. Yes, it's a massive data point but it's only week 5, and we have a lot of ball left to play.I'm off to Minnesota to call one of the most intriguing games of the weekend as Rutgers and Greg Schiano visit P.J. Fleck, who once worked on Schiano's staff. I have a feeling we will kick off your Saturday with a four quarter game that will come down to a few plays, a few decisions.Enjoy Week 5 and as always, much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

We made it! Football is here! Week 0 may only be a small sample size, but if you ask Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey, they don't care because we finally get to watch games. Even with Week 0 being only a few games, we are already getting a Top 25 matchup in Ireland.

With Paul Catalina & Craig Smoak Aaron Torres joins 365 Sports to push back on the growing calls to expand both the College Football Playoff and March Madness.

He also sounds off on NCAA tournament expansion, calling it a move no fans want and a cash grab in disguise. Plus, we dive into the Memphis-Big 12 situation and why their rejection despite a major financial offer highlights the cold business of conference realignment. Torres compares Memphis' dilemma to UConn's painful but strategic path after Big East collapse. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Marco Langon went from prepping meals in a back kitchen to torching NCAA record books as one of the fastest middle-distance runners in collegiate history.We're talking 3:33.38 in the 1500m (2nd-fastest in NCAA history); 3:54.60 in the mile; 7:36.87 in the 3,000m; and 13:14.11 in the 5,000m. And he is still a junior at Villanova.But the stats are just the start. Marco's a 2025 NCAA 5000m bronze medalist (13:21.17), a multiple-time All-American(indoor, outdoor, and cross country), and the anchor of Villanova's record-breaking 4×Mile relay at the Penn Relays (15:51.91). He's also a 3-time Big East 5000m champ, each with record times, and he brought home a World XC U20 bronze with Team USA in 2023.Currently ranked Top 3 in Villanova history across four distances (1500, mile, 3,000m, and 5,000m), he's running times that prove he may be a serious player for many years to come. Oh, and he just made history off the track too: Marco became the first NCAA track athlete to sign with Diadora, using his NIL deal to help set himself up for the future.And now, the USATF Outdoor Championships (July 31–Aug 3, Hayward Field) could be his next launching point, and maybe even to Worlds in Tokyo.From the kitchen to the track, Marco's story is pure fire. In today's conversation, Marco walks me through his remarkable journey and coming out of great adversity growing up as a kid, going to Villanova on a full scholarship, and what that meant to him, what motivates him, why everyone has doubts, why he's so honest, and so much more.This is a must-listen to episode. Tap into the Marco Langon Special.  If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

“I think it's really important to celebrate the intermediate steps along the way because if you're only thinking about the highest level of the NCAA…it gets overwhelming. You have to have those goals along the way.”We're back with more Office Hours episodes. My guest today is someone that's become synonymous with Hoya distance running — Brandon Bonsey, the head men's cross country coach and longtime leader of Georgetown's storied middle-distance program.He's more than a decade into his coaching career on the Hilltop — Bonsey has guided the Hoyas to dozens of All-America honors, multiple Big East titles, and a steady presence at the national level across cross country and track. A proud alum himself, Bonsey competed for Georgetown from 2004 to 2009, and since returning to his alma mater, he's played a pivotal role in both honoring the program's legacy and evolving it for today's generation.In this episode, we talk about what it's like to coach at the place that shaped you, what he learned from mentors like Pat Henner and Chris Fox, and how he's helping develop two of the most exciting young middle-distance talents in the country — Tinoda Matsatsa and Abel Teffra. We also get into recruiting at a high-academic institution, what sets the Georgetown culture apart, and how Bonsey blends emotional investment with long-view composure as a coach.This is a great one for anyone who loves hearing how tradition meets innovation in today's NCAA coaching landscape.Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠@chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Brandon Bonsey | @thebonz21 on InstagramSUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Olipop is a prebiotic soda that tastes like a throwback to your favorite childhood drinks, but it's loaded with benefits that your body will thank you for.
