Battle for the Texas Crown: #14 UTSA Heads to Austin With Everything to Prove | Audio Blog

The Battle for the Texas Crown is here. No. 14 UTSA heads to Austin to face No. 11 Texas in one of the biggest tests of the Stonewall Merritt era. After humiliating Baylor and burying Texas State 69-0 in San Marcos, the Roadrunners now walk into Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium with something bigger than a regular nonconference win on the line. Respect. Texas is the old kingdom. UTSA is the young champion tired of being told its rise does not count until it happens against the Longhorns. In this audio blog, Frankie “The Horn” Calderón sets the stage for UTSA vs. Texas, the history between the programs, the weight of Austin, and why the scoreboard is the only language Texas respects.

Group Stage Glory, Florida Shockwaves & Bucket List Dreams | FEOTB EP. 280

Episode 280 is the last main show before our Vegas break, so we are emptying the notebook. The USMNT is on a historic World Cup heater, winning back-to-back games for the first time since 1930 and locking up Group D before the final match. We break down the knockout bracket, possible USA paths, and whether this run can change American soccer for real. Then Florida takes over the sports world: Giannis and Bobby Portis to Miami, Brady Tkachuk reunites with Matthew on the Panthers, and chaos hits the NBA and NHL. We also check PLL standings before San Diego weekend, build our bucket-list sports events in VS, and close with Player and Benchwarmer of the Week. Main show is off next week, but Rise of the Roadrunners S2E3 still drops Sunday. #FEOTB #USMNT #WorldCup #NBA #NHL #PLL #SportsPodcast
