The Scott & Holman Pawdcast

It's a Dustin solo episode (feel better soon Sam) and it's the last game of the Cougar football regular season, with everything coming down to one game for the AAC West. In Houston's way stand the smack-talking Memphis Tigers. With D'Eriq out, and Ed returning, what are the odds the Cougars pull one out? On the hardwood, Kelvin Sampson's squad is 3-0, and getting its first big test of the year wit...

In a game that left us scrambling to look up the definition of a Pyrrhic victory, the Cougars came out with an A-effort on both sides of the ball, and kept their AAC West title hopes alive with a blowout win over Tulane. But unfortunately, Thursday's game also saw D'Eriq King tear his meniscus, meaning he's out for the rest of the year. We're here to break it all down, including what to expect fro...

Well, it's come to this: with 2 regular season games left any hope of a division title and resulting glory rides on a Thursday night showdown with the Tulane Green Wave and we brought on our good friend JP Gooderham of FearTheWave.com for a SIXTH time to discuss the Tulane Green Wave. In addition, the guys lean fully into the existential dread of Cougar Football at the moment and the remaining sea...

The bad news is we have to talk about a Cougar football loss that featured a frighteningly familiar slow start on offense and a nonexistent defense, this week to the surging Temple Owls. But the good news is we not only discuss the football game (+your Four Word Reviews) but we get the happier task of discussing the opening game(s) for Cougar men's and women's basketball. See Privacy Policy at htt...

It's D'Eriq King's world, and we're all just living in it. We're back to bask in the glow of an offensive performance for the ages from Houston's dynamic QB, leading the Coogs to ruin USF's perfect season for the 2nd year in a row. We trot out all the superlatives we can think of for #4, as well as give the defense credit for responding in a game without Ed Oliver against a high-powered offense. O...

It's USF game week, so we're previewing Houston's first conference game against a team with a detectable pulse. As the undefeated Bulls make their way to TDECY Stadium, we check in with our friends from The Daily Stampede/The Bulluminati Podcast for the lowdown on why that undefeated record may be deceiving, how the match-ups will shake out on Saturday, and why a school in the central part of Flor...

In as instant a react as can be managed, the boys are back to discuss a decisive win in the former 'house of horrors' that was Annapolis.

For the third straight week, it's a conference game against a team that's struggling. In this case it's Navy, so of course we spoke to Michael James of TheMidReport.com for the lowdown on why that option offense just isn't optioning right. We also hit the big AAC East showdown of the coming week, Case Keenum hearing boos in Denver, Cougar soccer having a critical week against top competition, and...

Did you miss Houston's 42-20 win over ECU on Saturday because you were watching the Astros? You're not alone. And that's why we're here. Dustin and Sam flew all the way out to East Carolina (fun fact: East Carolina is not a state) to watch the Cougars flip the script and dominate the Pirates with a strong defensive performance, while the offense sputtered. We're breaking down how Ed Oliver and com...

It's ECU game week, which means that Sam and Dustin are asking the question, are we going to see the version of the Pirates that knocked off UNC, or the one that just got obliterated by Temple? We're talking to 5-time guest Clip Brock of Pirate Radio 1250 about East Carolina's odds of pulling an upset on the suddenly AAC West-leading Cougars. We also took the pulse of the AAC (including a huge UCF...

Eschewing temporarily their twice-a-week schedule, the boys return to look back on whatever meaning can be squeezed from a 70-14 Cougar football win over Texas Southern, including your Four Word Reviews. There's a new basketball commitment, which the guys discuss Marcus Sasser and the big picture roster building strategy of Cougar hoops. Not to be missed, the guys also discuss Cougars in the NFL a...

Truly back on 'terra firma' and far away from Lubbock the boys return and discuss this week's Cougar football opponent: the Texas Southern University Tigers.

Tech passed for a lot of yards, we drove up for it and bring ourselves to talk about it and how maybe all hope isn't lost. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

The Cougars are renewing an old Southwest Conference rivalry this weekend as they square off with Texas Tech. We talked to Zach Mason from Viva the Matadors to get the inside scoop on all things Red Raiders, and broke down what looks to be a high-scoring affair. Plus we took a look at what's going down this weekend in the rest of the AAC and the rest of Texas, and got caught up on how all of the C...

In the biggest statement game of Major Applewhite's young head coaching career, the Coogs embarrassed Kevin Sumlin on a national stage and effectively ended the Heisman candidacy of Khalil Tate. We're back and breaking down who impressed the most, and which areas the team can actually still improve upon after a 45-18 victory. And the Coogs weren't the only AAC team knocking off P6 competition. We...

With the Bayou Bucket in the rear view, we turn our attention to Houston's week 2 opponent: Arizona. With a familiar, unwelcome face at head coach, and an electric talent at QB, the Wildcats present an interesting challenge for the Cougars. To better get to know the enemy, we spoke with Gabe Encinas from AZDesertSwarm.com. We also previewed the coming week in football elsewhere, including a match-...

The wait is finally over...it's game week! The Cougars are taking on the rival Owls, so we caught up with Matthew from The Roost to get the lowdown on all things Rice football.

This week we talked with Cougar football alum, high school coach, and more-successful-than-us podcast host Rowdy Harper! He talked about the wins that put UH on the map for Oklahomans, Case Keenum chucking a ball at a showboating defender, and the overnight success of Run The Power. We also broke down the offense position-by-position, from a more-experienced offensive line, to what to expect from...

Back for the 2nd time this off-season is Joseph Duarte, with whom we talked all things 2018 Cougar football. That was our jumping off point to do a unit-by-unit preview of the Cougar defense and special teams. Apparently this Oliver kid can play a little? There was also good news on the professional Coogs front, as Rob Gray signed a 1-year contract with the Rockets. And last but not least, #HTownS...

We ended our third year of pawdcasting in style with two of the biggest guests in pawdcast history. We talked to Kellen Sampson about the exciting crop of newcomers, that damn Jordan Poole shot, and the program-altering implications of avoiding last place in '14-'15. We also spoke with 3-time NCAA champion Cameron Burrell. He talked about his Olympic hopes, made a bold prediction for next year's U...
