I feel safe in saying this is the longest UTSA Baseball podcast of all time, but it's so warranted following the wild past two weeks in the program's history. The Roadrunners made their first Super Regional trip, but strange news about Pat Hallmark's contractual status with UTSA quickly overshadowed the narrative around the program. In this episode we discuss UTSA's showing in their Super Regional loss to UCLA for the first 30 minutes of the pod before diving into the drama around Hallmark's contract for the rest of the show. Let's hope this episode is very quickly outdated with a new contract for UTSA's skipper!

The Roadrunners are two wins away from Omaha as they head out West to take on the UCLA Bruins in UTSA's first-ever Super Regional appearance. Can the bats stay red hot after taking down Texas last weekend in the biggest series win in program history?

The band is back together. Coming off his NCAA Regional win, UTSA's James Taussig is back with Dylan Campione & Nicho Fernandez talking all things UTSA Baseball. James updates the guys on how the season is going, what's next in the Super Regionals and of course some Yankees baseball. Looking forward to having JT back on a regular basis this summer but first a couple more wins for the Roadrunners.
In this episode, we speak with Singer/Songwriter/Producer Jim Messina. We discuss how he came about partnering with Kenny Loggins as Loggins and Messina in the early 1970s and selling 16 million albums. We also discuss his earlier career with Buffalo Springfield, Poco, his post-Loggins and Messina solo career, and his current tour with his band, The Road Runners.
Pat Hallmark, UTSA Baseball Coach joins 365 Sports to discuss his thoughts on what the past 24 hours has been like for him and the UTSA baseball team, his thoughts on the familiarity of playing their regional at Texas, his thoughts on how the Road Runners are preparing for the Supers and more.

UTSA Baseball completes back-to-back wins over Texas in the Austin Regional to eliminate the Longhorns from postseason play and advance to the program's first-ever Super Regional. In an electric Regional weekend where the Roadrunners won three games straight, UTSA was firing in all phases: hitting, pitching, fielding, and baserunning. We saw this team at their absolute best when they needed it most. Is this the greatest feat in all of UTSA sports history? Dan talks to us on his drive home from Austin for an unlocked immediate reaction episode.
With the Roadrunners having earned their first-ever at-large bid to an NCAA regional, UTSA will now look to scratch another "first" off the list -- winning a game in a regional for the first time ever. First up for the Roadrunners will be a Kansas State team that lives and dies by the home run. Can Zach Royse avoid hard contact to put up a quality start and give UTSA a shot at another marquee win?
The Southeastern 16 crew of Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee break down the Austin Regional. Topics include: Texas faltered down the stretch and lost the overall No. 1 NCAA Tournament seed (falling to 2) after threatening to run away with the SEC regular-season title. The Longhorns still got the title thanks to the margin for error they built in March and April. Texas will be without No. 1 starter Jared Spencer and reliever-turned starter (and UTSA transfer) Ruger Riojas faltered late, but the Longhorns have plenty of talented pitchers in Luke Harrison, Max Grubbs, Kade Bing, Jason Flores, Thomas Burns, Andre Duplantier II and Grayson Saunier to take up the slack. Maybe the biggest question is whether the offense, which should get a boost with preseason All-American Max Belyeu back from injury and more at-bats under his belt. Can Rylan Galvan and Will Gasparino hit better in the tournament after their numbers declined late in the year? Can freshman sensation Adrian Rodriguez step up? The Longhorns are the team to beat, even if not clicking on all cylinders. UTSA looks to be the biggest challenger in the regional, with a lineup full of All-AAC players that included conference player of the year Mason Lytle. The Roadrunners have .400-plus on-base guys throughout the lineup (and had a .425 mark as a team) but can arms like Robert Orloski and Connor Kelley carry UTSA to a regional title? Kansas State rode home-run hitters Dee Kennedy (11 HR), Maximus Martin (14), Keegan O'Connor (16) and Seth Dardar to an at-large bid but top-end pitching might hinder the Wildcats' advancement hopes. Houston Christian will have its hands full and needs Parker Edwards to throw a great game to have a shot at a win. Texas beat Houston Christian earlier in the season.
UTSA Baseball's postseason will begin on Tuesday as the Roadrunners play their fourth straight game against the Rice Owls. With the Owls' ace on the mound, expect a tougher fight from Rice than we saw in the past weekend's series. We also zoom out a bit to talk about UTSA's chances at winning the tournament, as well as receiving an at-large bid. Lastly, we drop a much-anticipated new merch item with a special discount code at the end of the episode! Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s56sKfy_ZA

The Roadrunners will wrap up their regular season this weekend with a chance to set a new program record for wins.

Dan is joined by the ever-insightful Matthew Bartlett from At The Roost to preview this crucial Thursday-Saturday series for both teams.
Annie and Jenn wrap up our chat about the season 8 Vince Gilligan penned "Roadrunners."
Derek Shulman was at the heart of two great transformations – Simon Dupree & the Big Sound switching to psychedelia, and then sensing the prog-rock trade winds and becoming Gentle Giant. One minute he was singing Kites, the next Pantagruel's Nativity (Gentle Giant's rebooted ‘Playing The Fool: The Complete Live Experience' is just out). After which he was a record label president signing Bon Jovi, Slipknot and Nickelback and rebooting AC/DC and Bad Company. It's a phenomenal story and involves … … three pieces of advice for any band today. … playing the ‘64 circuit in his R&B band the Roadrunners. … the fictitious character he invented as Simon Dupree. … when Dudley Moore was their session pianist. … memories of Marc Bolan (“flat on his back playing guitar”), Tony Iommi, Tony Visconti, Don Arden, Gerry Bron and “the English mob”. … what they borrowed from Traffic in the Great Psychedelic Scare of 1967. … auditioning for George Martin and the lab-coated sound engineers at Abbey Road. … being phoned on a ship returning from Sweden to be told ‘Kites' was Top Twenty and doing Top Of The Pops with Status Quo and the Kinks. … “cars and bags of jewels”: the advantage of being “the darlings of the Isle of Wight Mafia” (which included the Krays). … watching Bowie recording The Man Who Sold The World at Trident. … Elton John's advice that helped form Gentle Giant. … the catastrophic US tour with Black Sabbath (on their “chemical romance”) where the audience threw cherry-bombs onstage: “you learnt how to work a crowd!” … George Underwood's cover for the first Gentle Giant album. … what he saw in Slipknot and why he signed them.

31 runs later, the Roadrunners walked out of San Marcos with a crazy win over Texas State. The wind was blowing out and balls were flying out of the park right and left. Despite some command struggles from UTSA's pitching staff, the Roadrunners proved they were a better team by fighting back from a large deficit to sweep the season series against the Bobcats.

UTSA will look to keep the Memphis Tigers' bats cold this weekend as they welcome Memphis to the Bird Bath. The Roadrunners will be a heavy favorite on paper, which means anything less than a sweep could drastically hurt UTSA's RPI and chances at a potential at-large bid.

Annie and Jenn tackle a season 8 MotW for the very first time-- Vince Gilligan's "Roadrunners!"
Our diet and fueling habits are setting important examples for our kids. Are we doing it right? Joining me is coach Michele Pettinger. She's a Level 2 certified coach through the Road Runners' Club of America, a certified specialist in fitness nutrition through the ISSA, and she's the author of the new book The Young Runner's Guide to Nutrition. We discuss how young runners should be fueling and approaching nutrition (which during the teen years is a formative time period). It's critical we get the basics of sound nutrition habits right early so that we can set kids up for success. We also chat about practical strategies for families and coaches, the impact of puberty on our nutritional needs, simple ways to make optimal fueling easy, and why Michele thinks my tradition of bringing my kids to McDonald's after a hike in the mountains is just fine. As a dad, this topic is really important to me. I've been around young runners and unfortunately, disordered eating is not rare. Hopefully this conversation will help you navigate food, nutrition, and fueling in a more thoughtful way with the young people in your life. You can also download a bonus episode with Registered Dietitian Anne Mauney on fueling / diet Q&A here. Thank you Previnex!

The Roadrunners are off to their second best start in program history, but there's little room for a let up as UTSA will need to protect their high RPI to give themselves a chance at an at-large bid to a regional. Before previewing this weekend's series against Tulane, we take some time to survey the American as we reach the halfway point of conference play.
Be careful of writing off this weekend's series against Wichita State as a slam dunk for the Roadrunners. The Shockers have played one of the most difficult schedules in the country this season, though they have struggled to find their footing since conference play began. Can UTSA's pitching staff get back on track to lead the Roadrunners to sole possession of first place in the AAC?
