The latest episode offers a comprehensive update on the Texas Longhorns football team as they approach the 2025 season, just over 25 days away. The show begins with unfortunate news about Andre Cojoe, a promising young offensive tackle who suffered a season-ending ACL injury, significantly impacting Texas’s tackle depth. The discussion delves into the challenges this injury presents for the offensive line, particularly the right tackle position, and highlights Brandon Baker’s promising development as a potential replacement.
The conversation then shifts to Texas being ranked number one in the preseason Coaches Poll for the first time ever, with Ohio State at number two. This ranking reflects growing respect for Texas under Steve Sarkisian’s leadership and sets high expectations for the team, although insiders believe the Longhorns are already internally motivated to win a national championship, so external rankings add little extra pressure.
The hosts analyze the Coaches Poll in detail, noting the presence of nine SEC teams in the top 25, the absence of Oklahoma, and some surprising inclusions and exclusions. They express skepticism about teams like BYU and Illinois, which seem overrated, while noting that the ACC appears weak this year. The discussion also touches on the lack of respect for some teams, including Auburn and the service academies, and the impact of transfers on those programs.
Finally, they celebrate Texas offensive lineman Trevor Goosby making Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List, a prestigious annual list recognizing extraordinary athletic traits in college football players. Goosby’s unique combination of size, speed, and athleticism is highlighted, though the hosts critique some of the choices on the Freaks List and debate its selection process.
