Host Carter Yates and senior writer Mike Craven are joined by Jared Kalmus of the Alamo Audible to preview UTSA's 2025 season!

(2:30 – 4:07) Did UTSA do enough in the backhalf of 2024 to get fans hyped for the 2025 season?

(4:07 – 7:50) Why did UTSA take a step back in 2024? Did UTSA ever correct the dumb penalties? Was the lack of discipline in 2024 a blip on the radar, or a sign of something bigger?

UH is a "power conference team" now and have bailed on us going forward (cowards!), but we've got one more Bayou Bucket to look forward to! So of course, Matt and Carter had to have our pals Sam and Bobby from the Scott & Holman Pawdcast to talk the crosstown Cougars. Can Willie Fritz get the offense functional this year [this is how you know they're not in the American anymore]? Is there anything sillier than bailing on the Bucket for a contrived, space-themed rivalry with UCF (no)? Plus, an extended intro, on The Conference Formerly Known as the AAC going for a rebrand, and preseason poll silliness.

Welcome to another "Special Edition" offseason Episode (#53) of the No Conference for Old Men Podcast.

Two of the 3 Old Men had the privilege to sit down and chat with Alvin Franklin (Sr Associate Athletics Director / Executive Director of Development at the University of Houston). The landscape in college athletics has shifted beneath our feet with the House Settlement finalizing on June 6th, and fans and listeners have questions amid the ensuing confusion. We spoke to Alvin about all things NIL, revenue sharing, and the Deloitte-led Clearinghouse as it relates to UH. Our questions went far and wide, so hopefully we hit the mark in clarifying some questions for folks (as well as dispelling some of the myths that are out there).

- No Conference for Old Men is available for free via Spotify / Apple Podcast / SoundCloud & the GoCoogs.com website; we're also available via the Republic of Football Podcast feed from the folks at Dave Campbell's Texas Football as their only basketball-centric offering.

- Intro / Exit music: Ground Zero provided by FreeBeats.io

UTSA feels good? Or at least as decent as most of the teams that consider themselves among the upper tier of the AAC conference, as we continue on with our season preview series.

- Owen McCown might be the best quarterback in the AAC by default? And Also because he's actually good, even if he's not Frank Harris. The rest of the skill players should be fun too.

-As has been the case with the rest of the conference, nobody is going to play defense. We almost forgot to talk about the secondary, but that was somewhat by design.- UTSA's best kicking option will probably be kicking for Rice football this fall, which leaves the Roadrunners in a bind.

- Jared and Matt get on a soapbox about supporting independent media like this. If you like what you hear (and read) make sure you're supporting financially where you can to keep the lights on at places like this.
