The Scott & Holman Pawdcast

After a lengthy absence, it's time to take stock of the state of Cougar athletics, and everything that entails. From the positive of seeing student-athletes wielding their societal power, to the shock of having symptomatic student-athletes test positive for COVID, and the huge questions facing UH leadership in the wake of their decision to begin workouts without universal testing. In more run-of-t...

You asked for it and we're doing it, Sam reads the first 24 pages of a former UH baseball parent's completely unhinged rant against Rayner Noble and late 00s Houston Cougar baseball.

We're putting aside our trivia-asking caps for a moment to process the latest in Cougar roster news. We talked about how excited we are for Nate Hinton's future after he decided to stay in the NBA draft, as well as what this means for the Cougar program in the short- and long-term future. Plus Cougar football adds Ta'Zhawn Henry at a position of need, and UH baseball adds a big bat from the JuCo r...

This week we asked you the listener to send us questions for a mailbag episode, and as always you did not disappoint. As per usual, the questions were interesting enough and large enough in number that it took us 90 minutes to cover everything from volleyball expectations to football recruiting to the men's basketball rotation to how many heads are on Mount Rushmore. See Privacy Policy at https://...

The guys are back (safely > 6 feet apart) this week to dive into the big college sports news of the moment: specifically NCAA changing its tune on Name, Image and Likeness right and not really changing its tune on Division 1 transfer policy for certain sports. In addition, there's been Cougar football and baseball roster movement that we discuss this week. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/p...

What's better than 1 episode in a row where we interview a UH head coach?! Very little, but we'd hazard a guess that 2 episodes in a row with a UH head coach fits the bill. To that end, we had on Cougar swimming & diving head coach Ryan Wochamurka. How did Wochamurka get into coaching swimming? How do you build a program that wins 4 straight conference titles? We pick the brain of a great coach fo...

When you get the chance to talk to a successful UH head coach, you jump at it, so we're thrilled to bring your our interview with UH volleyball coach David Rehr, coming off an impressive first year in charage. He gives his remarkable coaching backstory, goes behind the scenes on the successes and challenges of year one, and says the Coogs can be even stronger in 2020. Plus we're catching up on the...

In part 2 of our look back at the greatest Coogs of the 21st century, we created and debated our teams of the most prolific men's basketball and baseball players to don the scarlet and albino.

With the 21st Century now two decades old (and with the sports content desert very much a real thing) it's time to put our debate hats on and duke out who's the best of the best of the 2000s. Kevin Kolb or Greg Ward? Matthew Adams or Phillip Steward? And is Brandon Wilson the best Brandon to play CB for Houston? Or the best Wilson? Or both?? Or neither?!?! We have all these answers and more. See P...

(Language warning on this one) In our annual completely off-topic and non-sports-related episode, your hosts came together to wax poetic about one of their other shared passions: 1990's alternative rock. From Radiohead to Limp Bizkit, from Depeche Mode to Blink 182, we love it all, and we talked for entirely too long about all the things we love about it. And since we are still ostensibly a sports...

Having had some time to put the year into perspective, your hosts are back to give the 2019-20 year the send-off it deserves. We're going sport-by-sport to talk highs, lows, and so many storylines left unfinished. Fans of late '90s Conan, and fans of podcast hosts hurriedly making up and immediately dismissing Game of Thrones analogies, will be in for a treat. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.c...

The global coronavirus pandemic has canceled sports (and, you know, public gatherings) as we know them for the foreseeable future. We got together and tried to put words to the surreal situation we find ourselves in.

The Houston Cougar men's basketball regular season has come to an end, with the good guys claiming a second consecutive AAC regular season title. We're reflecting on the tremendous accomplishment, and also looking ahead to this week's conference tournament, and beyond. Plus Track is headed to NCAA championships, women's hoops has its season come to an end, the bat and ball sports wrap up their non...

It was a week with no shortage of highs we're excited to talk about in the world of Houston Cougar sports. First, HTownSpeedCity added 2 more pieces of hardware as both the women's and men's track teams won their respective AAC championship this past weekend in Birmingham, Alabama. The Coogs dominated in the usual events and had the greatest day in program history for some others. We also take a l...

We're running out of words that can be used to decribe the extent to which Cougar swimming and diving has dominated their AAC competition, but we gamely tried to come up with some to describe Houston's 4th straight conference title. Plus men's hoops had a bipolar week, thrashing Tulsa and falling flat vs Memphis. We break down the impossibly tight conference race, and Houston's huge matchup with C...

Despite once again being separated by over 1,000 miles and 2 time zones, the guys try to unpack the week that was and the week to come from 10 (!!!!) different Houston Cougar sports teams in action from the past week. Some highlights: - Cougar men's basketball shows resiliency to get a road win, but sees some old problems rear their ugly head in a tough, road loss to a rival. - Baseball struggles...

Your special bonus episode this week is all about Cougar baseball, which opens its season on Friday. To better get a grasp on the 2020 Coogs, we spoke with UH baseball alum Bubba Maxwell to get his take on players coming back from injuries, the strengths of this year's team, and the grittiness it takes to play junior college ball.
