Welcome to Travis Take Two! Hosted by brothers Jordan Travis (FSU & NFL Quarterback) and Devon Travis (FSU & MLB Second Baseman), this episode features an emotional conversation with Houston Astros infielder Cam Smith about his rookie season in Major League Baseball and the journey from Palm Beach County to the big leagues.

The discussion opens with Jordan sharing a powerful encounter with a young fan who lost her brother Mason, offering perspective on what truly matters beyond wins and losses. The brothers then break down Florida State's 3-2 start, passionately defending Coach Mike Norvell and quarterback Tommy Castellanos while addressing fan frustrations about NIL, recruiting, and the losses to Virginia and Miami.

The episode centers on Cam Smith's inspiring story, from not starting as a high school sophomore to reaching the majors in just 32 games, the third fastest in history. Cam opens up about the mental challenge of showing up every day during a 162-game season, how faith became his foundation during struggles, and the parallel between his freshman year at FSU (.257) and sophomore year (.387) that gives him confidence for year two in the pros. All three Palm Beach Central alumni reflect on perseverance through failure, dealing with criticism, and why embracing the struggle is what defines true athletes.

You may not know the name, but you’ve definitely seen their work.
Empire Netting & Fence built the Tunnel Walk gates at Memorial Stadium — an iconic part of every Husker fan’s game day.

They’re also behind netting at ballfields across the country, including Waverly High School and Haymarket Park — home of the Huskers and the Lincoln Saltdogs.

And here’s the cool part: they’re not slowing down. Empire’s Waverly campus is one of the fastest-growing in Nebraska, and they just launched HotKote Powder Coating — a state-of-the-art facility that’s one of the only ones like it in the entire country.

Nebraska Head Football Coach Matt Rhule confirms there is no beef with On3’s Andy & Ari. There’s nothing but three guys who love football and love to talk about BBQ. As Coach prepares to take on Michigan State, he sits down with Husker Defensive Back DeShon Singleton, and talks about his commitment and persistence in coming back for his senior year at Nebraska.
