Welcome to Episode #68 of the No Conference for Old Men Podcast.

After shutting down in-state rivals Texas Tech and Baylor last week, the Coogs are now 15-1, 3-0 in the Big 12, and ranked #10 in KenPom.  After some stellar team defense in those wins, we discuss the question, "Is Jojo Tugler now back to last season's DPOY-level?"  Two home conference games against West Virginia and Arizona State await this week.

Please have a listen as the 3 Old Men break down the wins over Tech and Baylor, and discuss whether Jojo Tugler has regained his elite form from last season.  We then preview next week's two games as well, so fans can be well-informed headed into the games.

The Texas Longhorns capped off the 2026 campaign with a decisive win over the Michigan Wolverines, propelled by the heroics of quarterback Arch Manning.

Aiding the effort was a defensive performance from the Longhorns, harassing quarterback Bryce Underwood and stymying their offense late. What does this do for Texas as they head into a pivotal 2026 season?

Welcome to Episode #67 of the No Conference for Old Men Podcast.

Happy New Year, everyone!  After critical wins over Arkansas and Cincinnati (with a sloppy MTSU win sandwiched in between), this Cougar team is 13-1 and 1-0 in XII play.  It was a statement win on national TV vs Calipari's Arkansas team, where the Cougar offense was fast, flowing, and in peak form.  Two more wins ended 2025 and opened conference play to start January.  The Coogs are now ranked No. 7 in the AP, with two in-state rivals on deck in Texas Tech & Baylor.

Please have a listen as the 3 Old Men break down the 3 games played over the holidays and provide some thoughts on the upcoming games vs Tech & Baylor.
