Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South react to Steve Sarkisian declaring Trevor Goosby “good to go” for Texas' season opener against Texas State. The crew debates whether the All-American left tackle should receive meaningful snaps or be protected with Ohio State approaching, while explaining why Andre Cojoe has earned an opportunity to play regardless of Goosby's availability. The guys also break down the competition between Lance Jackson and Zina Umeozulu opposite Colin Simmons, Justin “Juice” Cryer taking control of the defense's green-dot communication and Texas' plan to rotate extensively in the heat. Plus, they examine how freshmen and transfers could contribute on special teams and confirm that Michigan remains on Texas' reshuffled 2027 schedule. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We conclude our summer preview series with the team the Texas Longhorns start their season with: the Texas State Bobcats coming to Austin.The Bobcats return a ton to one of last year's best offenses as they head west as part of the new-look Pac-12. What do we expect from the high-powered offense paired with a new, aggressive defensive coach?

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel explain why Texas State's explosive offense presents a dangerous opening test for Will Muschamp's new Texas defense. Dual-threat quarterback Brad Jackson returns after rushing for 17 touchdowns, while 1,000-yard receivers Beau Sparks and Chris Dawn Jr. headline a unit that combines elite tempo, extreme spacing and one of the nation's biggest offensive lines. The guys break down what Texas must do to survive the Bobcats' pace, from communicating and rotating defenders in the heat to maintaining gap discipline and tackling Jackson in space. They also examine the risks within Muschamp's aggressive scheme, the challenge facing Texas' secondary and why this matchup could provide a valuable preview of what awaits against Ohio State, LSU and Tennessee. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton and Rod Babers examine the remarkable rise of Texas' roster under Steve Sarkisian. The Longhorns now have 47 active NFL players—nearly double the 25 they had before Sark arrived—and Texas State head coach G.J. Kinne says NFL scouts believe as many as 15 players from this year's team could be drafted. The panel explains how elite talent at premium positions, including Arch Manning, Colin Simmons, Trevor Goosby and Ryan Wingo, has placed Texas among college football's premier programs. The crew also discusses the maturity separating freshmen such as Richard Wesley, Derrek Cooper, Jermaine Bishop Jr. and Kosi Okpala, along with which young Longhorns could see the field against Texas State. With Steve Sarkisian averaging 11 true freshmen in season openers, Saturday represents a critical opportunity to strengthen the depth chart—but Texas must first control an explosive Bobcats offense before turning its attention to Ohio State.

Horns247's David Eckert, Jason Suchomel, Chip Brown and Eric Henry are back with the Tuesday edition of the Horns247 Podcast. The guys give the latest on Trevor Goosby's status, talk season predictions and more. Enjoy!

Texas State head coach and former Longhorn G.J. Kinne previews his return to DKR for a massive season opener against Texas. Kinne calls Steve Sarkisian arguably the best play caller in college football, says this may be Sark's most talented roster and explains why Arch Manning is far more dangerous than the traditional pocket passer many expect. Kinne also reveals how the Bobcats are preparing for Will Muschamp's new defense, a crowd of more than 100,000 and a Texas roster featuring approximately 15 projected draft picks. Texas State plans to rotate heavily, limit explosive plays and lean on veteran quarterback Brad Jackson while playing with nothing to lose. Kinne makes the goal clear: the Bobcats are coming to Austin to win. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton deliver the latest Texas practice intel after the Longhorns completed a full mock game at DKR. Starting left guard Laurence Seymore is expected to be available against Texas State, although he could share snaps with Dylan Sikorski. With Andre Cojoe preparing to replace Trevor Goosby at left tackle, Texas must establish communication, avoid costly penalties and prove its rebuilt offensive line can dominate the running game before Ohio State arrives. The crew also clarifies that Colton Vasek has not moved to linebacker full-time and breaks down the rotation behind Rasheem Biles, Justin Cryer and Brad Spence. Plus, Kosi Okpala continues to rise. Bobby also explains why Texas is extremely unlikely to add another player before the season begins. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Texas State football concluded its fall camp with two weeks left before the 2026 season kicks off for the Bobcats. Keff Ciardello has 5 takeaways coming out of Texas State's fall camp, plus a depth chart and a season record prediction, before ending with a few revisions and additions to the Bobcats All-Time 2-Deep from episode 241. *Sponsored by thegalindocollective.com, FamilyFirstCremationServices.com, BHIHats.com  

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton and CJ Vogel assess where Texas stands after two fall-camp scrimmages. Will Muschamp's defense has established itself as a havoc-producing unit capable of generating pressure and forcing turnovers, led by Colin Simmons, Rasheem Biles and emerging playmaker Graceson Littleton. The Longhorns also possess enough defensive-line depth to attack opponents in waves throughout the season.   The biggest remaining question is whether Arch Manning and the Texas offense can consistently carry strong practice performances into game-like situations. Explosive plays and encouraging signs from the running game are present, but slow starts and turnovers remain concerns with Texas State and Ohio State approaching. Which version of the offense will show up when the season begins? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There's a corner of real estate most investors never think to look: properties tangled up in tax liens and clouded titles. Logan Fullmer built his entire business there. He's built a portfolio of companies around a strategy most investors have never even considered: solving problems for property owners who are stuck with tax liens and clouded titles, then turning those situations into real estate opportunities that cost a fraction of market value.   After graduating from Texas State's McCoy College of Business, Logan spent time in project management and oilfield services before moving into real estate, where he's worked as principal, LP, and GP across flex/industrial income property, land development, and distressed asset turnarounds. Today, his companies specialize in moving assets from inefficient to efficient markets through value-add strategies, ownership aggregation, workouts, and title curative solutions, essentially fixing the messy, complicated situations most investors walk away from.   In this episode, Logan breaks down what a tax lien actually is, how they end up attached to a property, and why they represent one of the most overlooked entry points into real estate investing. We talk about how he identifies these opportunities, what it actually takes to resolve a lien and unlock the property behind it, and why this strategy can be one of the lowest-capital ways to get started in real estate. If you've ever wanted a way into the market that doesn't require competing on price with everyone else, this conversation lays out a real, practical path.   In this episode:   What tax liens are and how they end up on a property Why "curative title" work is a massive, underused opportunity in real estate How Logan buys distressed and clouded-title properties for far less than market value What it actually takes to resolve a lien and turn it into a usable asset Why this strategy works with less capital than most real estate investing How Logan built a portfolio of companies around solving problems other investors avoid Download our new AI Rental Property Calculator Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCESGet business funding - Revenued.com/juice

Seth Woolcock and Scott Bogman make their final college football conference championship predictions and identify the best futures bets, values and dark horses before Week 0 kicks off.

After opening the show with some Texas State defensive notes from fall camp (0:00-21:15), Keff Ciardello cracks open the mailbag and takes on questions from the Bobcats Sickos out there (22:00-45:00). The final question was so good it could have been its own episode when Keff is asked to construct an All-Time Texas State/Southwest Texas State Bobcats two-deep depth chart (45:30-1:16:00). *Sponsored by thegalindocollective.com, FamilyFirstCremationServices.com, BHIHats.com

Today we take our first look at the study of nonsense with a discussion of logical fallacies - some familiar and well-worn, and some that I dare to invent and name like I'm a real bigshot scholar. We'll also talk about my expectations for good writing - which makes sense in a class about writing.Readings for today include "On Bullshit" by Harry Frankfurt and the Informal Fallacies site on Texas State's philosophy page.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds and Chris Fetters - were on hand Thursday for day six of Washington's fall training camp, and we're at the point now in camp where the days start to bleed into one another and you not only lose track of what day of fall camp it is, but also what day of the week it is.The easiest way to remember is that we're just two days away from Washington's first big scrimmage of fall, which will take place Saturday night (5:45 pm) inside Husky Stadium. Hopefully a ton of UW fans will be able to make it.Today's practice was very much in service of that upcoming scrimmage. There was more competitive periods inside Husky Stadium, and we got to see the first 'live' snaps taken by the Huskies so far this fall, meaning defenders could take the ballcarriers to the ground.Kim and Chris talked about the players that weren't able to participate in those team periods, some that were finally let off the leash a little bit, and others that stepped up to the challenge and made plays.On offense, Kim thought Christian Moss was his standout player, while Justice Williams made the play of the day. Chris thought Gavin Day was the standout player for a goal-line interception and fumble recovery.And finally they wrapped up the practice review with an appreciation of transfer kicker Tyler Robles. The former Texas State star went 8-8 on his kicks to finish practice, including the last two 'fire drill' kicks where the whole kicking unit had to rush from the sidelines, get in formation and quickly kick the ball because they were unable to stop the clock. They went 2-2 during the 'fire drill' kicks.

Romey Swanson is the Executive Director of the Devils River Conservancy, and he wears a lot of other hats too—wildlife biologist, naturalist, writer, photographer, and a leader in just about every corner of the Texas conservation world. The Devils River is generally considered the most pristine stream in Texas, and maybe in the entire Southwest—remote, spring-fed, and held together entirely by private landowners. The county it runs through leads all 254 counties in Texas in privately conserved acres, and none of it was required by regulation. If you've ever wondered how conservation gets done in a place with almost no public land, Romey and his community have built a model worth paying attention to. Romey grew up in rural West Virginia as part of what he calls the last generation of feral children—turned loose outside with instructions to be home before dark, with the creek behind the house as his best friend. His family moved to Texas when he was in junior high, and like most teenagers, he traded all of that for sports and a social life. He was a first-generation college student headed toward sports medicine when he walked past a flyer at Texas State advertising a Wildlife Society meeting—free pizza and live animals. He went for the pizza, met a faculty advisor, and changed his major that week. I've known Romey for six or seven years, and we cover a lot of ground here—his early days filling deer feeders and checking bird nest boxes, why he says waiting tables taught him as much about this work as his degrees, and whether leadership can actually be taught. We get into the threats facing the Devils River—data centers, transmission lines, and energy projects that can undo decades of voluntary conservation—and his work with the mountain lion stakeholder group in Texas, which has some obvious parallels to the wolf situation here in Colorado. There's also a good stretch on his passion projects, including his owl research in the mountains of far West Texas, and why he decided to use social media to push out something positive instead of more conflict. We wrap up with a few book recommendations and his encouragement to all of us to just pay attention. I loved this conversation...

Jeff Howe, CJ Vogel and Hank South examine three critical questions Texas cannot truly answer during fall camp. Will a more experienced offensive line finally protect Arch Manning and create movement in the running game? Can Laurence Seymore master the Longhorns' wide-zone scheme and win the left guard job? And if Arch is forced to miss time, is KJ Lacey ready to lead Texas through a meaningful game?   The crew also evaluates whether Will Muschamp's aggressive defense can fix the coverage breakdowns that plagued Texas late last season. With Colin Simmons creating pressure and Bo Mascoe, Graceson Littleton and Kade Phillips playing tighter coverage, the secondary possesses major upside—but the unresolved safety battle remains a concern. Texas State will provide the first test, but the answers may not become clear until Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith and Ohio State arrive in Austin. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Boise State and Texas State quarterbacks headline the Pac-12 MVP race—can Brad Jackson's eye-popping stats outshine Maddox Madsen's veteran presence and Boise's winning pedigree? With concerns over Texas State's defense and Boise's shifting offensive weapons, the quarterback battle fuels debate as fall camp approaches. Christian Rauh and recruiting expert Brian Smith spotlight Fresno State's top 2027 recruits, including versatile lineman Manese Brown and power receiver Bayon Harris, analyzing how these future Bulldogs could shift the conference landscape. The episode also breaks down San Diego State's dynamic wide receiver room, led by Jacob Bostick and Jordan Napier, and considers whether Sean Lewis's offense can make the Aztecs true Pac-12 contenders.

Texas produces roughly a quarter of the nation's elite gymnasts. Until this year, it had zero Division I women's gymnastics programs. That just changed. On this episode, Texas coach and judge Justin James joins GymnasticsVille to break down Texas State University's historic launch of the first D1 women's gymnastics program in state history. Justin is the Head Girls Gymnastics Coach at Highland Park ISD, Director of Recruiting for the Texas Armadillos GymACT team, and a member of the Texas and National Gymnastics Judges Associations, with nearly 14 years as gymnastics director at Kingwood High School before that. We get into: - The Oklahoma connection behind Texas State's decision, and why the school's president credits OU head coach K.J. Kindler with helping him see it through - Why it took 40 years for a Texas school to go D1, from football economics to Title IX - Inside the Aggie Ascension, the group working to bring a varsity program to Texas A&M - Why Texas State's location makes it a recruiting goldmine - McMurry's surprise new program and the murky history of Houston Christian's old varsity status - Justin's read on the men's gymnastics scene heading into the Xfinity U.S. Championships and LA 2028 Read more at gymnasticsville.com  Watch the full video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gKQSq5vRzU8  Follow Justin James: Instagram: @justinwjames X: @TheJustinJames Follow GymnasticsVille: Instagram: @gymnasticsville TikTok: @gymnasticsvillehq

This week on THE DAWN, we caught up with Texas State head coach GJ Kinne as the Bobcats enter their first season in the Pac-12.I've been tracking Coach Kinne since his recruiting days as a big-time QB prospect, and he's been on a rocket ship in the coaching profession from the moment he traded his cleats for a whistle. After sitting down with him it's clear he has an ‘It Factor' that's translated straight into coaching, and that comes through during our conversation in the limited series, THE DAWN, presented by the Pac-12 and Y-Option.Coach Kinne inherited a program that had never reached a bowl game, never beaten rival UTSA, and never notched a Power Four win. He got all three done in year one, and he credits it to instilling confidence and an aggressive, swing for the fences mindset from the start.Coaching runs in GJ's blood. His father spent decades as a Texas high school coach, and GJ played and worked under a run of respected names including Todd Graham, Gus Malzahn, Chad Morris, Mike Norvell, Chip Kelly, Ryan Day, Bill Musgrave, and Jeff Stoutland. But it was Super Bowl winning coach Doug Pederson who gave him advice early on that stuck: just be yourself.That philosophy has carried him through head coaching stops at UIW and now Texas State as they enter the reimagined Pac-12.Watching Coach Kinne build this thing from the ground up, I keep coming back to the same thought: the rocket ship isn't slowing down anytime soon.Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

Jeff Howe and CJ Vogel break down why Texas' early-season showdown with Ohio State could define the entire 2026 season for Steve Sarkisian, Arch Manning, and the Longhorns. The guys discuss SEC win totals, why Texas' over/under sits at 9.5 wins, how much pressure is on Sark to beat one of college football's elite coaches, and why a win over Ohio State could launch Texas toward a 10- or 11-win regular season. The conversation also dives into Arch Manning's growth from a shaky first half of last season to one of the SEC's best quarterbacks down the stretch, what Texas should expect from Texas State in Week 1, and why Will Muschamp's defense will be tested early. Plus, Jeff and CJ debate the offensive line's physicality, whether Texas has the right pieces up front, the importance of building a reliable run game, and what Tom Herman's move to Florida State says about his coaching career arc.

The previous post covered my grades on how the strength of today’s four largest college athletic conferences compare with their previous versions twenty years ago in 2006. Here's a brief recap. In my estimation, only the SEC (which expanded from 12 to 16 teams over that 20 year period) has shown an upgrade in competition levels since 2006.  I awarded the SEC a “B” grade. The Big 12 (which lost four of its prominent members to the SEC) received a C+ for their nimble addition of several relevant regional sports schools. A “D” grade was handed down to the Atlantic Coast Conference.  Their nonsensical addition of West Coast newcomers Cal (Berkeley) and Stanford in 2024 crashed the ACC's overall score. Speaking of lousy grades, I awarded a D- to the Big Ten Conference as its recently-annexed properties have resulted in a BIG thud.  From the east (Maryland and Rutgers) to the west (Nebraska, Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington), the Big Ten’s new coast-to-coast configuration has failed to improve this conference for either sports fans or student/athletes. How have the five mid-major conferences fared with recent expansion issues? These other conferences (nicknamed the “Group of Five”) can be quite entertaining but rarely win national championships.  They must compete against the “Big Four” major conferences featuring the wealthiest college sports programs. American Athletic Conference (AAC) The AAC has only been around since the year 2013.  There were 10 initial AAC members and now 14 in 2026. Only Memphis, South Florida, and Temple remain from 2013.  The ACC raided Conference USA to obtain several of its new members. Army and Navy – What's not to like about these two additions?  They bring the focus of the entire college football world to their annual game played in early December.  Grades – A Charlotte – The 49ers have been perpetual cellar dwellers in most sports.  Charlotte, North Carolina sports fans are more likely to follow UNC, Duke, and Clemson.  Yawn.  Grade – D- East Carolina – The Pirates have made the NCAA baseball playoffs ten times since 2013 and have occasionally contended for the AAC title in football.  A hearty fan base makes ECU a fun place to watch sports.  Grade – B Florida Atlantic – A member of the AAC since 2023, this school is best known for its men's basketball team and having a great beach nearby.  Sadly, most local sports fans don’t give a hoot about the FAU Owls yet.  Grade – C- North Texas – The Mean Green had a brilliant 12-2 football season in 2025 in the school's third year as part of the AAC.  The other sports are lagging behind.  Grade – C Rice – Another third year AAC member, the Houston-based Owls have been an athletics flop in their new conference.  Grade – D Tulane – Green Wave football program has rejuvenated Tulane athletics down in the Crescent City.  Unfortunately, the remainder of the school’s sports teams rarely lead the AAC.  Grade – C Tulsa – Golden Hurricane football and men's basketball programs have been on the decline in the past decade.  That's a shame, because Tulsa fans desperately want to get behind the city’s lone major college athletics team.  Grade – C- UAB – Try as I might, I'm having trouble remembering any recent sports successes for the Blazers.  Grade – D- UTSA – Like Tulsa, the Roadrunners have the entire San Antonio market ready for their athletics programs to take off.  Other than some recent success in football, UTSA sports still appear to be taking a siesta.  Grade – C- AAC overall grade for expansion: C- Conference USA (C-USA) I am not going to provide individual grades to Conference USA member schools.  It is not their fault that C-USA management has done such a lousy job of keeping this conference together and relevant in major college sports. The conference has seen a 100% turnover in the past 20 years. Schools being added have generally been former FCS top teams such as Delaware, Sam Houston, and Jacksonville (AL) State. Things have declined so badly in Conference USA (“How badly have they declined?”) that longtime member Louisiana Tech recently agreed to pay a reported $8 million to buy its way out of C-USA.  The Bulldogs’ jubilant athletic department and fans are rejoining the Sun Belt Conference this fall.  Louisiana Tech will save more than $1 million annually in travel costs formerly required to travel to schools within the far-flung Conference USA. Longtime C-USA holdovers Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee State deserve a better fate.  Save your money and call the Sun Belt in a couple of years! C-USA overall grade for expansion –  F- Mid-American Conference (MAC) In contrast to Conference USA, the MAC has remained remarkably stable for the past 20 years. Eleven of the dozen MAC members in 2006 remain a part of the conference today.  Northern Illinois (which had been part of the MAC for 30 years) is leaving this fall to become part of the Mountain West Conference. In a couple of curious moves, the Mid-American Conference has added two new members recently. UMass – The 2025 addition of the University of Massachusetts (which is at least in regional proximity to longtime MAC member Buffalo) was rather questionable.  Athletic success at Umass has been nearly invisible over the past decade.  After just one year in the MAC, the Minutemen have been a net negative in sports for the Mid-American Conference.  Grade: D- Sacramento State – Seriously?  Yes, the Mid-American Conference will add this longtime FCS member from California to its football schedules this fall.  Sacramento (the #20 TV market) is 2,500 miles from the middle of Ohio. The Hornets will be a football-only member of the Mid-American Conference.  For the usually stable MAC, this is a rather bizarre expansion move.  Grade: F MAC overall grade for expansion:  D- Mountain West Conference (Mountain West) The Mountain West has survived a few departure tremors in recent years.  Of the nine Mountain West members 20 years ago, only Air Force, New Mexico, UNLV, and Wyoming remain.  Let’s review the teams which have come aboard since 2006. Hawaii – The Rainbow Warriors (2012) have posted winning football records in just four of their 14 seasons in the Mountain West.  The other athletic squads are nearly invisible in the post-season tournaments.  Hawaii remains a dream road trip destination for visiting teams and their fans, though.  Grade: C- Nevada – At least the men’s basketball team has appeared in the NCAA March Madness event five times over the past nine seasons.  Otherwise, fans of the Nevada Wolfpack (which joined the Mountain West in 2012) haven’t had much to howl about lately.  Grade: C- North Dakota State – This former FCS division powerhouse football program is stepping-up to play against the big boys beginning this fall.  The move is for football only. The Bison are a terrific geographic fit for the Mountain West Conference, too.  This makes sense.  Grade: A Northern Illinois – The Huskies will join the Mountain West this fall after 30 years in the Mid-American Conference.  Northern Illinois’ sports resume has weakened in recent years.  Other than bringing the #3 TV market (Chicago) to the Mountain West, this move makes little sense.  Grade: D San Jose State – The Spartans (members since 2013) have appeared in four bowl games over the past decade.  On the other hand, the men’s basketball team has won just 33% of its conference games over the past 13 years.  Grade: C- UTEP – This longtime Conference USA member joins the Mountain West this fall.  UTEP’s football team has been downright awful in recent years.  Despite a sports slump, UTEP bring strong fan support from the El Paso area.  They should be a fine geographic fit for the Mountain West.  Grade: C Mountain West overall grade for expansion:  C Sun Belt Conference (Sun Belt) The Sun Belt has been nicknamed the “Junior SEC”.  This conference has grown from 10 members in 2006 to 14 today. Only Arkansas State, Louisiana-Lafayette, South Alabama, Troy, and UL-Monroe remain from 2006. Appalachian State – The Mountaineers (members since 2014) have been a top football contender in the Sun Belt.  Their enthusiastic fans make road trips to Boone, North Carolina a fun stop.  Grade: B Coastal Carolina – Speaking of fun stops, how about a visit to Myrtle Beach to play Coastal Carolina?  The 2017 Sun Belt addition of the Chanticleers has been a terrific addition for the conference.  Coastal’s football team has played in six straight bowl games.  The baseball team won the men’s College World Series in 2016.  Grade: A Georgia Southern – Would it surprise you to learn that the Golden Eagles from Statesboro, Georgia have played in seven bowl games over the past eight seasons?  The other sports programs at Georgia Southern need to step it up.  Grade: B Georgia State – The 2013 addition of the Panthers from Atlanta has not added a lot of sports notoriety.  However, the men’s basketball program has earned four invitations to March Madness in the past 11 seasons.  Grade: C Louisiana Tech – The Bulldogs paid dearly ($8 million) to escape Conference USA beginning this fall.  Louisiana Tech brings several highly competitive sports teams. They are a perfect geographic addition to the Sun Belt Conference Western division.  Grade: A Marshall – This begins Marshall’s fourth year in the Sun Belt Conference.  The Thundering Herd has been a top football competitor and competes well in other major sports.  Grade: B Old Dominion – ODU came into the Sun Belt in 2022.  The Monarchs from Norfolk, VA posted a nifty 10-3 football record in 2025.  Old Dominion has been relatively quiet in its other sports, though.  Grade: C Southern Miss – The Golden Eagles (Sun Belt members since 2022) have been a dominant team in recent NCAA college baseball post-season tournaments.  Last season’s 2025 football team improved from a miserable 1-11 record in 2024 to a hopeful 7-6 mark.  Grade: B Sun Belt overall grade for expansion:  B+ Bonus Conference!  The newly revived Pac-12 Conference “states” its case in 2026 The most prominent names of the long-time Pac-12 Conference bolted for better TV money into the Big Ten and ACC in 2024.  That left holdovers Oregon State and Washington State “homeless”.  The Beavers and Cougars have bagged a few top teams from the Mountain West Conference to help them rebuild the Pac-12 starting this fall. Boise State is the biggest name coming to the new Pac-12.  The Broncos have fielded a nationally ranked football program several times in the past few decades. Other Mountain West migrants include Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Washington State. Texas State (formerly of the Sun Belt Conference) will also join the Pac-12 this fall. In case you didn’t notice, each of the eight new Pac-12 schools has the last name of “State”! Summary Only the Sun Belt Conference has earned a positive score (B+) from SwampSwami among the “Group of Five” mid-major conferences. The Sun Belt is the only major college athletic conference opting to maintain two divisions (East and West) to minimize travel expenses for its member schools and lessen the travel impact on their student/athletes.  Bravo!

In this college football podcast episode, we continue our 2026 Group of Six conference previews by breaking down the resurrected Pac-12, the new-look Mountain West and a wide-open Conference USA. We start with Boise State’s move into the Pac-12 and discuss whether the Broncos are truly a College Football Playoff threat or simply the best team in their new neighborhood. From there, we examine the cases for Fresno State, San Diego State, Texas State and Washington State, along with the conference’s unusual plan to flex matchups during the final week of the regular season. The Mountain West has undergone an even more dramatic transformation, with North Dakota State making the jump to FBS and Northern Illinois and UTEP entering the league. Can NDSU immediately contend with UNLV and New Mexico? Does Hawaii have enough around Micah Alejado to make a run? And can Air Force, Wyoming or one of the conference’s rebuilding programs force its way into the race? We also venture into Conference USA, where Western Kentucky may be the preseason favorite, but Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State, Liberty and several recent FBS arrivals give us plenty of reasons to question the established order. Finally, we bolt independent UConn onto the end of the preview and explore Jason Candle’s attempt to rebuild a roster that lost nearly everything from last season.

The final Group of 6 conference preview episode hits the Sun Belt, the American Athletic Conference, and the rebuilt Pac-12 with full 2026 picks, predictions, betting angles, title-game projections, surprise teams, disappointment picks, and schedule notes.The Sun Belt enters a transition year with James Madison trying to survive another coaching change under Billy Napier, Old Dominion and Marshall pushing in the East, and a chaotic West led by Troy, Louisiana, Arkansas State, and newcomer Louisiana Tech. Gary explains why JMU is the champion pick, why Troy and Louisiana Tech carry betting value, and why Southern Miss may be the biggest fade in the league.The American looks wide open after major coaching and roster turnover. Navy has the cleanest path, UTSA has the best quarterback profile with Owen McCown, Memphis has the transfer upside under Charles Huff, and ECU, Army, USF, Tulane, FAU, and Tulsa all bring different paths and problems.The new Pac-12 is back as a rebuilt Group of 6 power league, with Boise State as the overwhelming favorite. San Diego State, Fresno State, Texas State, Washington State, and Utah State all have challenger cases, but the real question is whether anyone can make Boise State uncomfortable.

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for another episode of Last Call, featuring a wide-ranging discussion about Alabama football, the transfer portal, conference realignment, the College Football Playoff, NIL and the changing structure of college athletics. Jake and Mick break down the rebuilt Pac-12 and attempt to name the schools joining the new-look conference, including Oregon State, Washington State, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, Texas State and Gonzaga. Can the relaunched Pac-12 become a legitimate college football conference after losing programs such as USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington? The conversation then turns to Notre Dame's special position in the College Football Playoff. Should the Fighting Irish receive a guaranteed CFP bid for finishing inside the top 12 despite not competing in a conference championship game? Jake and Mick debate whether Notre Dame's independence gives the program an unfair advantage over teams from the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12. Jake also explains why Alabama's recruiting strategy may increasingly focus on experienced players from the transfer portal, Group of Five programs and the FCS. Are proven veterans with toughness, fundamentals and college experience more valuable than highly rated high school prospects? The guys discuss how NIL and revenue sharing could turn smaller programs into a “farm league” for college football's biggest brands. Plus, Jake shares his Independence Day plans at “the camp,” Mick prepares to watch fireworks at the ballpark, and the guys discuss the massive “flood mosquitoes” invading the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa areas. They also preview the 76th annual Choctaw Indian Fair in Philadelphia, Mississippi, featuring traditional stickball, concerts, cultural events and more. Let us know in the comments: Should Notre Dame receive an automatic College Football Playoff bid for finishing in the top 12? Is Alabama smart to prioritize experienced transfer portal players? Can the new Pac-12 become nationally relevant again?

Happy Pac-12 Day! The Pac-12 revival became a reality at midnight and the Texas State Bobcats made sure to count down in style. Plus, 5 more commits puts the Bobcats at 21 for 2027, and an interview with Stuggart HS QB and Texas State football commit Cain Price.*Sponsored by thegalindocollective.com and FamilyFirstCremationServices.com* 

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's unreal run through the loser's bracket in the College Station Regional, winning four games in a row to be able to take the title and advance to the program's first super regional since 2005. At the end of the show, the podcasting duo also previews this weekend's Chapel Hill Super Regional where USC is two wins away from a trip to the College World Series in Omaha.But in between, special guest USC freshman outfielder Walter Urbon joins the show to talk about the wild weekend in Texas where the Trojans dropped their NCAA tournament opener in heartbreaking fashion to Texas State only to have that light a bonfire under the Trojans. USC's offense caught absolute fire, scoring 55 runs in four blowout wins to take home the regional."It kind of felt like we were playing and scoring and I didn't even know who we were playing against," Urbon says. "We just went and scored runs and beat them."Urbon also discusses the atmosphere in Blue Bell Park where the home-standing Texas A&M fans didn't have much to cheer about the final two nights of the regional as the Trojans thumped the Aggies twice, including how USC knew they were going to take care of business once it forced the winner-take-all Game 7"After we did that that [Sunday] night with their fans there, we had zero doubt," Urbon says. "We were totally going to win. We just fed off the energy."Urbon also discusses his journey this season from the unfamiliar territory of not playing every day to getting his chance because of an injury and then running with it and never looking back. The Los Angeles native also discusses his defense and how an activity like the Brazilian dance fighting exercise capoeira helps him stay grounded and athletic.Prior to Urbon's appearance, Shotgun and Kasey break down the regional win and what it means for the Trojans as they note three positives, including a full roster of players stepping up and quieting some of their critics. They also look at the loss of pitching coach Sean Allen after he was named the next head coach at Lamar...three days after the Trojans eliminated Lamar from the NCAA tournament.
