Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MAILBAG: 5th Anniversary | No. 222
Q: Do you expect that we will have a new men's and women's basketball coach as we enter the PAC 12?
It depends on how the season plays out, but if the results stay below expectations, a change might be needed after this season depending on performance during the tournament.
MAILBAG: 5th Anniversary | No. 222
Q: When does the 2026 PAC football schedule get released?
It should be released soon, but the exact timing is still up in the air due to various factors including scheduling and legal issues.
MAILBAG: 5th Anniversary | No. 222
Q: Do you think the clubhouse and facility upgrades will be enough to help Coach Trout get baseball back to where fans and alumni expect it to be?
Facility upgrades are needed, but they won't achieve wins alone. The program has to show improvement, as the last two seasons have been below expectations.
MAILBAG: 5th Anniversary | No. 222
Q: What are your expectations for Texas State Baseball this season?
I believe the baseball team has the potential to have a big season, but they've got a lot to prove after two subpar seasons and require significant improvement this season.
MAILBAG: 5th Anniversary | No. 222
Q: With as many talented running backs as Texas State always seems to have, why do you think we never see any 20 or 21 personnel?
That's kind of a forgotten science, art form, whatever you want to call it, in college football. You see it a lot in the NFL, and I think it starts a lot with the offense not lining up under center, limiting the use of a fullback position.
