The SEC's bowl season struggles raised plenty of questions — and we break down what went wrong, why it matters, and whether the conference's dominance is being overstated.Then, we turn to the Big 12 transfer portal, handing out Week 1 winners and losers as teams reshape their rosters heading into the 2026 season. Who helped themselves early? Who still has work to do?Heartland College Sports' Pete Mundo delivers honest, independent college football analysis you won't get anywhere else.
A significant opportunity awaits the Mountaineer basketball team Saturday afternoon. West Virginia hosts the Kansas Jayhawks inside Hope Coliseum, with a chance to secure its first victory over a nationally ranked opponent this season—and a third straight win over Kansas. While the names on the jerseys may be familiar, the rosters are not. Both teams have been almost entirely rebuilt since last season's meeting, with just one player—Kansas forward Flory Bidunga—appearing in that game. In this episode, the “Guys” preview the matchup with the Jayhawks, review Tuesday's important win over Cincinnati, and discuss what has changed—and what still matters—when these programs meet. Listener questions and comments complete the episode with Textual Healing.
