Wed, 17 Dec 2025 11:00:00 -0000

National champions Mack Brown and Vince Young join CBS Austin's Bob Ballou to talk all things Longhorns! They start the show by discussing the Texas players who are expected to enter the transfer portal, roster management in this era of college football and the increasingly complicated questions surrounding bowl games. Should players travel with the team even if they opt out? Are the players making the decision to opt out themselves or is it coming from someplace else? And do bowl games still matter at all?

Then, the guys evaluate the Longhorns’ 2025 season. What left you feeling good? What left you feeling disappointed? And how does that all leave you feeling about what’s to come in 2026?

Next, Mack and Vince reminisce about Vince’s 2005 trip to New York when he was a finalist. Vince divulges just how disappointing it was not to win, what he said to his teammates in the immediate aftermath and why he declined to accept the trophy after Reggie Bush was stripped of the award later on.

Finally, they dive into Michigan firing Sherrone Moore, give out their Underdogs of the Week, preview the first round of the College Football Playoff & discuss Texas' 2026 schedule.

Preparing for Ohio State, Arch Manning vs Julian Sayin & Week 0

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 10:00:00 -0000

National champions Mack Brown and Vince Young join CBS Austin's Bob Ballou to dive into all things Texas Longhorns. They start the show by looking back at last episode's interview with Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian. Then they discuss the Longhorns' second scrimmage, the tough decisions a head coach has to make at this point in preseason camp and the keys to red zone success.

Then they look ahead to the Ohio State game by talking about Texas' road success over the last two seasons, how Vince used to stay loose on the road and newly-named Ohio State starting quarterback Julian Sayin.

They look ahead to Week 0 with Underdog of the Week, and debate whether or not they would want to be part of an international game, like this Saturday's game in Ireland between Kansas State and Iowa State.
