The eyes of Texas are upon us on the Thursday night of this recording. Texas enters year four under Tom Herman with some big-time expectations, just like they normally are for the Longhorns.  In this episode you'll hear Nick Shepkowski's interview with Patrick Conn of Longhorns Wire as they cover: Coronavirus wiping out the Texas locker room What went wrong for the Longhorns in 2019 and how does that get fixed in 2020? Joseph Ossai's coming out party last year and how sky-high his potential is for this year and what the defense has to do in order to fix their issues from a year ago. What else is there to get excited about with the Texas offense in 2020 besides Sam Ehlinger and can one superb offensive tackle be enough to help out a talented backfield? We also find out Texas's biggest issue on offense before discussing the pressure that's on Tom Herman in 2020 and how close these Longhorns might be to catching Oklahoma and before we say goodbye, I had to ask a Big 12 man like Patrick about whatever the hell is going on in Stillwater, Oklahoma right now.

Ep. 14 - 6.18.2020: Talking Texas Longhorns with Patrick Conn of Longhorns Wire

Johnny Majors was a legend in the world of college football, specifically at the University of Tennessee where he starred as a tailback before eventually returning as the Vols head coach and leading them to three SEC Championships.  Dan Harralson runs the VolsWire and was kind enough to join me to remember Majors and talk a bit about how close Jeremy Pruitt and this Vols squad are to turning the corner and becoming a big-time player on the national stage again. Dan shares memories of Majors before we get into a conversation about the Vols turnaround from 1-4 to 8-5 last season.  What changed and can Tennessee challenge for an SEC East title as early as this fall?  Dan discusses exactly that and he and Nick share some of their favorite memories from the old Notre Dame/Tennessee series that both agree needs to be picked back up again.
