The Scott & Holman Pawdcast

What a difference a week makes! After seeing the Cougars finally play a game with a full week of rest, we're feeling a lot better! Clayton Tune, Patrick Carr, the special teams, and Grant Stuard and the defense all gave us reasons for optimism up in Denton. And as always, we included your #FourWordReviews, and surveyed the rest of the AAC. Plus, Cougar volleyball cannot stop winning dramatic 5-set...

After an absolute whirlwind of a Monday afternoon, we finally caught our breath long enough to record. Are D'Eriq King and Keith Corbin really coming back next year? Will anybody else follow them on the redshirt route? Will Houston begin a new college football trend of redshirt tanking? You best believe we're wildly speculating about all that and more. And then, oh, hey, there's an actual football...

We can't avoid it any longer, we talk in detail about the Coogs' conference opening loss to Tulane, along with YOUR Four Word Reviews.

Cougar football is less than 48 hours away from opening American Athletic Conference play, so we're diving into the Green Wave, talking to our old friend JP from Fear The Wave to get the scoop on Tulane. We also discussed why we're both feeling cautiously optimistic about a game in which Houston is the underdog. Plus, Cougar volleyball closes up non-conference play, soccer hits the road to face a...

It was a frustrating game, but one with lots of interesting points to chew on (not all of them negative) as Cougar football came up short Friday night to the Washington State Cougars at NRG Stadium.  We talk over that game in depth, your 4 word reviews from the WSU game, plus updates around the week that was in week 3 for AAC and general college football. ALSO a couple big tests for Volleyball aga...

We roll on through this challenging Cougar football non-conference schedule, taking an in-depth look at this week's opponent: the Washington State Cougars. To better understand the Cougs of southeastern Washington, we enlisted the help of Michael Preston of CougCenter.com who gave us his thoughts on the Crimson & Gray through 2 weeks.  In addition, we gave our own thoughts about WSU and how they m...

It was a Rorschach test of a football game where what you took away from it might say more about you than it does about UH football, but we're dissecting what went right and what went wrong nonetheless. We also read your Four-Word Reviews, and found out that the Cougar fan base is equal parts confident and concerned. Plus we talked about a surprisingly entertaining weekend in college football, and...

It was a tough on field result, but we got to learn a lot more about the Coogs after their 49-31 loss on the road to the #4 Oklahoma Sooners.  We go in-depth on all aspects of the game: good, bad and ugly, as well as taking your Four Word Reviews on the Coogs' week 1 game. There's also the matter of the Prairie View A&M Panthers: the Coogs' week 2 opponent.  There's also our thoughts on week 1 and...

IT'S FINALLY GAME WEEK!! This episode may contain one or more instances of your hosts breaking down and squealing out of sheer excitement. We did hold it together long enough to interview Kegan Reneau of Sooners Wire to get the scoop on the 2019 Sooners, and the gameday experience in Norman. Plus we had 4-year Cougar football standout David Hunter on the podcast to talk about the good old days, gi...

We're opening up this week's episode with our interview with one of the greatest running backs in Cougar history, Bryce Beall! He told us about his experience playing for Dana Holgorsen, about making that catch up at Oklahoma State, and about the time that Case Keenum got angry enough to use curse words. We also had the next part in our football season preview series, as we take a deep dive on the...

It's less than 3 weeks until Cougar football, which means it's time to preview the UH defense and special teams. How much can the Coogs improve upon a woeful run defense from the end of last season? Can new DC Joe Cauthen lead a defense that creates more havoc? We went position-by-position to find answers (or at least wild speculation) to these questions. We also have actual Cougar (exhibition) re...

Oh hey we're back for our 2nd (!!!) episode of the week to open our 5th season.  We take a look back at our 'bold predictions' from the 2018-19 season and see which one of us was better than a coin flip. In addition, we look ahead and make some bold predictions for every UH Cougar team for the 2019-20 season.  Cougar men's basketball also gets a (literally) BIG commitment from Kiyron Powell of Eva...

As we count down the days to the return of college football, Sam and Dustin tried their hand at handicapping the AAC football race for 2019, discussing who are the favorites, the contenders, the dark horses, the bowl hopefuls, and UConn. We also talked a little assorted Cougar news, including Sean Bretz returning to Cougar baseball for his senior season. But first, we have Matthew of At The Roost,...

We're kicking off this offseason the right way, inviting back the one and only Joseph Duarte to talk about all things Houston Cougar athletics from the 2018-19 year. We got his (somewhat surprising) pick for MVP of the athletics department, his take on the emerging pseudo-scandal around UH soccer, and much more. We also took a look at Cougar football's latest recruiting efforts, and see who has co...

It's our very first episode of the off-season, with the 2018-19 Cougar athletics year finally behind us, but make no mistake, this was a jam-packed episode.

We're almost to the end of this incredible season with no shortage of highs and lows, this week included.

There was also a frustrating trip to Clearwater, Florida that Cougar baseball u...

The Cougar softball team made an inspired run in the Austin regional this past week before ultimately coming up just shy of advancing to Super Regionals.
