Baseball season will be here before we know it, and today's release of the Roadrunners' 2026 schedule brings us that much closer to first pitch. Dan is joined by UTSA Baseball alumnus James Taussig to discuss this season's schedule, highlight some key matchups, and discuss the flawed RPI system in college baseball.

Alamodome magic showed up once again as the Roadrunners smoked the ECU Pirates 58-24, giving UTSA their sixth-straight season of bowl eligibility, while the Pirates were eliminated from American Conference championship contention. We had to spend some time in this episode searching for answers around why the Alamodome has been such an unfriendly site for opponents. 00:00 Dominating Victory Over EC...

The Roadrunners finally earned their first conference road win in two years with a too-close-for-comfort win over Charlotte. Can UTSA now extend their home conference winning streak? It'll be a big challenge against an ECU team who is still in the hunt for a bid to the conference championship game. 0:00:00 UTSA's Road Win: A Mixed Bag 0:06:07 The Importance of Bowl Eligibility 0:09:08 Coaching and...

7Alex Golesh and his Bulls down-right decimated the UTSA Roadrunners, then had a lot to say about it. It's just the latest entry in a frustrating cycle for the program where the Roadrunners secure a big win at home and look to be turning the corner before falling flat on their face when they step into another team's stadium. Can UTSA put their road woes to the side to beat a deeply struggling Char...

Tune in to hear how Rylan got his start covering UTSA Baseball and how he developed such a passion for the program. Rylan and Dan also share some hints on scheduling, as well as break down the action from the UTSA Fall World Series.

Don't count out the Roadrunners in the Alamodome, especially in their black out unis. UTSA felt disrespected by Tulane, and responded in kind of a shocking 48-26 shellacking on ESPN. We break down how the Roadrunners were able to turn things around, and discuss the improving health of the offense. Next up is another super formidable opponent, as USF boasts what may be the deepest roster UTSA has e...

The outlook for both UTSA Men's and Women's basketball looks tough to tip off the 2025-2026 season. Austin Claunch has to flip his entire roster (again) in his second season, while Karen Aston will need to nurse up an extremely injured roster. We examine the roster on both programs and preview the upcoming schedule. 00:00 Season Preview: Excitement and Expectations 03:19 Roster Reconstruction: A F...

Andrew provides an absolute wealth of knowledge around the conference and the sport as a whole, including some great inside information gleamed from on-site visits to several programs. Dan and Andrew discuss which teams are win...

Jeff Traylor's UTSA program has failed to show up in three games under Traylor's tenure. All three have been in rivalry games, with the most recent being a disgusting 55-17 beat down from the UNT Mean Green. This is the type of loss that points to deep cultural issues, as the head man himself ate his own cheese following an impressive but anticipated big win against Rice. The program is quickly he...

The Roadrunners let some steam loose on the Rice Owls with a record-setting performance that saw UTSA knock three different Rice quarterbacks out of the game. UTSA's offense found a new level of explosiveness thanks to some home run plays through both the ground and the air. Meanwhile, UTSA's defense wouldn't be left out of the scoring party as they pitched in 16 points of their own. We recap this...

The Roadrunners looked to have corrected some issues coming out of the bye week, then halftime happened. Temple Head Coach K.C. Keeler ripped into his team at the half then took control of the contest to overcome an 11 point deficient. UTSA looks to be in deep trouble as the toughest part of the conference slate looms. Can the Roadrunners turn things around against a new look Rice offense? We intr...

Both the Roadrunners and Owls will be fresh off of bye weeks on Saturday as they get the pads popping to begin conference play. UTSA has looked shaky through their 2-2 start, while Temple hasn't played an evenly-matched opponent yet.

The guys recollect on their journey to UTSA, culminating in a trip to regionals against Oregon State. All three guys are now very involved in bolstering support for the program today as the Roadrunners seek to build the facili...

Road wins against FBS opponents are never something to take for granted, but man was this offensive performance was hard to swallow. UTSA returns almost all of their offense, yet they look less cohesive than the defense where zero starters returned. We break down the performance against the CSU Rams and what needs to change in the bye week. 00:00 Introduction and Season Overview 03:08 Game Recap:...

The Roadrunners handled business against Incarnate Word with a boring offensive game plan and a knack for generating turnovers against an overmatched opponent. Now UTSA has to build off of their first win with a challenging road trip to face an opponent they are 0-2 against historically. CSU's passing offense is in shambles, and UTSA has one of the worst secondaries in the country. Something's got...

For the second straight year, Texas State looked like the better coached and more well prepared team in the I-35 rivalry. It was the Bobcats who stepped up each time a big play was needed, and never wavered in the face of adversity from the Roadrunners. Jess Loepp's secondary was torched, while the offense struggled with consistency. Where do things go from here? The answers are harder to find on...

While the Roadrunners weren't able to pull the upset against #19 Texas A&M, UTSA sure looked the part against an SEC foe. Winning in the trenches and mostly avoiding penalties, Jeff Traylor feels like his team has the right stuff to compete for a championship. UTSA will have a chance to prove their progression over the offseason this week as they welcome Texas State to the Alamodome for the home o...

Football season is back! The Roadrunners look to follow up on a hot finish to the 2024 season with Owen McCown back under center, but they'll need a rebuilt defense to step up. UTSA's first test will be a tough one as they'll travel to Kyle Field to face Mike Elko's Aggie squad.

We're back in the swing of things as the 2025 season creeps up! We break down UTSA's newly minted 210 Triangle of Toughness, and give a preview of UTSA's fall schedule. An imposing out of conference slate gives way to a fairly manageable American Conference schedule. Video: https://youtu.be/IZBa1ElupVM

Coach also opens up to share how his hard-nosed coaching style builds lasting connections with his players, how next year's roster is looking, and his staff's plan on leveraging increased revenue sharing to build a lasting program. Video: https:...

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...

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? UTSA will need to ride the high through the jet-lag and cut up home plate to make the baseball carry through California's crisp, coastal air. 

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 mos...
