Everyone Gets a Trophy

Have a road trip this week? Planning on a two and a half hour hike? Good news! Paul and Randy drop an epic post Red River Shutout podcast to keep you entertained and informed. They break down the massive Texas victory against OU, Quinn Ewers, Sark's play calling, the Horn D, preview Iowa State, and then indulge any number of topics and flight of fancy, to include how a 11-2 Texas could earn a play...

Hate week is no time to be weak. Paul and Randy are feeling confident about Texas-OU, which history proves is not a great mental state to be in before the Red River Shootout, unless the Longhorns deliver the goods. In which case, it's a glorious mental state to be in. They go in depth on the great performance against West Virginia and then preview what they've seen of OU this year. How does Texas...

Hogs saved our bacon in Week 4 and Paul blinked at the possibility of maximizing his KSU will beat OU in Norman predictions he's been making since July. Lost nerve meant lost money. What about Week 5? 

"Fundamentals are the crutch of the talentless." - Kenny Powers.   Paul and Randy Boone break down the Texas loss in Lubbock and look to the future. They also talk about the Ovie Oghoufo incident and how cooler heads prevented a really bad scene, what's going on with the Texas D, and maybe Sark needing to not be afraid of going to the well again. Then it's a full on BS session: which of Randy...

Paul gives a quick overview of where the Big 12 conference race stands and then goes hard in the paint on the Overshown targeting suspension. Then it's on to previewing Texas Tech in Lubbock and the Big 12 conference opener for the Longhorns. Who will start at QB - for either team? What are the keys to the game? Has Texas Tech's improved and retooled defense actually played anyone?   The time...

Is Texas gonna get it done in Lubbock? Is Paul really betting a college football game with a 35 point over/under?  How long will we ride the Kansas, Ole Miss, Kansas State and USC trains? 

USC comes through in Week 2 and still loving the Wildcats. It is heart/head week and Paul has big bets on Miami, Texas and defense. 

Paul and Justin talk Bama post Saturday disappointment and longer program optimism. What are the big picture takeaways from the Tide heartbreaker? Texas found its QB, but that's on hold. Texas also found a defense - can it stick around? Bama can't beat us twice, so it's on to breaking down UTSA's football team and mining Justin's brain for what makes Jeff Traylor such a unique and powerful culture...

Paul and human glue Joe Cook break down the 52-10 Texas win over ULM and then discuss the biggest game in college football: Texas vs Alabama. Bama is a 20+ point favorite in Austin. How can Texas hang with the Tide? How many tricks does Steve Sarkisian have up his sleeve on Saturday?

5-1 in Week 1. Let's talk Week 2. 

Texas Football is finally upon us. The Longhorns get set to open up Year 2 of the Sark era tomorrow night against the Warhawks of ULM. What should we expect from Quinn Ewers in his Texas debut? What needs to happen for you to have confidence going into the Alabama game next weekend? Who needs to impress this year for the Horns to make a run at a Big 12 championship? Joe Cook & BK discuss all o...

Paul and Ian Boyd have a wide-ranging conversation about UL-Monroe, how to get Ewers comfortable, the optimal Texas defense and personnel groupings, the larger Big 12 race (with special emphasis on TCU, West Virginia, Baylor, KSU) and the implications of the portal and NIL in remaking and sustaining a program.  The time is now for your new mortgage or refi with Gabe Winslow at 832-557-1095 or...

Wanna pitch some bets every week? Sure you do. Due to my mediocre abilities as a handicapper, I'm drafting everyone so that we may all lose win together. In the same vein as Shark Tank, pitch your bets and we will all evaluate them critically. Do your best Mr Wonderful and Mark Cuban. My focus will be on college football, but I'm willing to hear pitches on obscure secondary sports like major leagu...

Paul and Powerful Joe Cook (fresh off of the monkeypox beat) talk a little poetry and why pole dancers are more talented than divers, before getting into the Texas depth chart (or lack thereof), old journalists failing at hot takes, monkey slander, and some general thoughts about the looming season opener against Louisiana-Monroe. Joe also breaks down press box culture, answering the questions we...

Joe & BK are back! On this week's episode, the guys recap the nightmare-ish scrimmage from this past weekend. How will the Longhorns overcome injuries to a couple of key players on offense? Plus, are we concerned that Sark hasn't named a starting QB yet? Finally, the guys give updates on some of the most contentious position battles going on in fall camp. Thanks for listening! 

Paul and Ian continue their discussion: Guilbeau Baggins at nickel, the decisive aspects of the QB battle, Paul's crackpot theory about where Card may be best vs. Ewers, Keilan Robinson's limitations in 21 personnel, the prospects of starting freshman OL. Ian does an instructive breakdown of the play action passing game, specifically RPOs. Why is it a tactic that you either want to flirt with or c...

Paul and special guest Ian Boyd drop Dad jokes and quickly segue to a discussion about how Texas will deal with the catastrophic season losses of Isaiah Neyor and Junior Angilau and several other minor injuries to Texas starters. How does the offensive approach change and what are the knock on effects at other positions?  The time is now for your new mortgage or refi with Gabe Winslow at 832-...

Paul & Joe discuss the Longhorn QB battle, beginning with a Maalik Murphy overview, before exploring the pros and cons of Quinn Ewers and Hudson Card. They also try to provide some context for growing pains and learning curves in Longhorn QB history. Paul attempts a MMA/Boxing comp for Hudson Card's struggles in the transitional part of the game, which may be completely off, but if it made any...

That title could only mean that Paul is joined by Powerful Joe Cook of Inside Texas, a recent victim of cruel accountability memes. In this podcast, Paul attempts to make Joe take accountability for anything - anything at all - while discussing khaki jeans, Lord of the Flies summer camps, how Joe should treat any media member foolish enough to sit in his seat, and the season opening press conferen...

Paul Wadlington and Bobby Burton continue their discussion about the team site industry, On3's innovations, why they like Steve Sarkisian as a player and coach, the potential outcomes for the '22 Longhorns football team, the dangers and merits of comps and why Inside Texas is the place to be. How about an offer you can't refuse? Buy the 2022 Thinking Texas Football preview and new subscribers can...

We share some great recruiting stories along the way, guaranteed to make you laugh...or maybe wince. Bobby has an instructive origin story and you'll find out why he's continued to iterate throughout his car...

Recruiting sage Gerry Hamilton is back to talk about the Malik Muhammad commitment, DFW talent, Aggie desperation, and to set the Texas Longhorn big board. Paul and Gerry go over a dozen or more different elite recruits still on the Longhorn board, from the sure things to interesting long shots. Find out why there's a good chance that Texas has 23-25 recruits committed by the time the Horns kick o...

Joe & BK give their biggest takeaways from Big 12 Media Days. What did new conference commish Brett Yormark have to say about Texas leaving for the SEC? Did someone really ask Sark about jumping to the NFL? The guys weigh in on those questions and many more. Plus, why are Oklahoma fans so confident going into this season and how tough is Texas Basketball's non-conference schedule in year two o...

The Prince of the Piney Woods Justin Wells is back with a breakdown of Big 12 Media days and to talk about the Longhorn recruiting board. The vibe is good for the Longhorns at Big 12 Media Days - what has changed? Brent Venables was as awkward in person as he seemed during his televised media time. Who are the team leaders right now? Why does this team feel a little different than last year? Then,...

Powerful Joe Cook is back and the guys have a fun conversation breaking down the future of each conference: SEC, Big 10, Pac 12, ACC, Big 12 as well as discussing the gap between Big 12 talent (low) and Big 12 innovation (very high). If you don't have much talent, develop a great personality. Finally, they end on an optimistic note discussing Steve Sarkisian and his management of the program thus...
