4.4 out of 5 stars from 495 ratings
  • Informative and interesting aside from Mark Ingram

    Urban and Rob Stone come prepared to talk about the topics, but Mark Ingram’s juvenile foolishness makes this a little difficult to listen to at times

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Texas Head Coach Steve Sarkisian Joins, The Sorsby Saga Ends at Texas Tech, and World Cup Fever
Q: How should a program handle a top quarterback's departure due to off-field issues while maintaining championship expectations?
Focus on health, depth, and culture; develop the next-man-up mentality, recruit for character as well as talent, and implement leadership development to sustain performance despite personnel changes.
Texas Showdown, Alabama AD Greg Byrne Joins, Mike Leach's Hall of Fame Chances, and CFB 27 Cover
Q: What do you think about the current path to the College Football Hall of Fame for Mike Leach?
The hosts and Byrne reflect on Leach's impact on the sport and whether a slightly lower win percentage should disqualify his candidacy, ultimately arguing that lasting influence and innovation should count toward Hall of Fame consideration.
Texas Showdown, Alabama AD Greg Byrne Joins, Mike Leach's Hall of Fame Chances, and CFB 27 Cover
Q: What was it like growing up around athletic directors, and how did your father influence your career path?
Byrne discusses learning from his father and choosing his own path, emphasizing mentorship, work ethic, and the importance of earning opportunities rather than being handed them, which shaped his approach to leadership at Alabama.
Texas Showdown, Alabama AD Greg Byrne Joins, Mike Leach's Hall of Fame Chances, and CFB 27 Cover
Q: What was a game you would have liked to schedule if a free week opened up, and why?
Byrne explains the value of scheduling flexibility to maximize broadcast value, alumni engagement, and the overall health of the program, suggesting that strategic non-conference scheduling can elevate a program's profile without sacrificing competitiveness.
Rebel Reunion, NCAA President Charlie Baker Joins, and Vanderbilt Goes Hollywood
Q: Do you think you can get an antitrust exemption without government help?
No, the government is the only entity that can grant such an exemption, and it's a big deal because it would allow the NCAA to write rules with the force of law in limited, carefully defined areas to create consistency and fairness across the membership.
