  • ETX Bobcat alum.

    Being all the way up in northeast Texas, how lucky was I to find this podcast several years ago to keep me up with The Cats. Keff does a phenomenal job covering Bobcat sports. SWT/TXST alum like myself are fortunate to have this pod to turn to.

Texas State Bobcats at No. 5 Texas Longhorns Game Preview with Mike Hardge | No. 248
Q: What does Arch Manning need to do to prove the doubters wrong this season?
He needs to start faster, lead an opening drive, and maintain consistency after a strong late-season stretch last year, showing leadership and improved decision-making.
Texas State Bobcats at No. 5 Texas Longhorns Game Preview with Mike Hardge | No. 248
Q: What are the expectations for Sark? If he doesn't make the college football playoff, are people going to be asking questions for his job?
Hardge suggests that while there will be questions, it's not necessarily in jeopardy this season given the roster, but the move to maximize returns and the new defensive leadership will be under intense scrutiny as they aim for postseason success.
Pac-12 101: Fresno State Bulldogs with Al Scott | No. 244
Q: What are you hearing about the Fresno State quarterback battle in fall camp?
Al Scott explains that it's a tight 50-50 competition between Kristian Martin and Jayden Mandal, with Martin currently viewed as the likely starter but the decision kept flexible until near game time, reflecting depth and the coaching staff's willingness to adapt based on performance.
Texas State Bobcats at No. 5 Texas Longhorns Game Preview with Christian Rauh and Eric Henry | No. 249
Q: What is the overall perception of Texas State as they move to the Pac-12?
Christian Rauh explains they're seen as a sleeping giant with dark-horse potential, capable of surprising factors in a parity-rich conference, especially if their offense can sustain success with the personnel returning.
Pac-12 101: Washington State Cougars with Jamey Vinnick | No. 238
Q: Who looks like the frontrunner at quarterback, and what are the main concerns?
Caden Pinnock is the leading candidate but has not definitively separated himself; Eshelman and Dugger provide depth, with Dugger offering more dynamic ability but less consistency, making fall camp pivotal for QB1.
