    Clynch was solo for episode 31, a lonely outing for him. Big Mike and Coach Mo both had personal and professional obligations. 

    So, Clynch lined up a couple of interviews with 2nd year Texas college football coaches. Both are sons of football coaches. Both were accomplished players, and both are intense recruiters. 

    Jake Spavital from Texas State University and Colby Carthel from Stephen F. Austin State University. Both Spavital and Carthel will face Shane Buechele and SMU in September.

    Spavital is part of an impressive coaching family tree and developed eight NFL quarterbacks.  Carthel won a national title as a head coach of Texas A&M-Commerce prior to accepting the job in Nacogdoches.

  • Episode 29: The Julius Whittier statue idea with Jimmy Saxton & Todd Hunt

    Send us Fan Mail

    As of today, the college football season will look much different due to Covid19.

    The Power 5 conferences will mostly play a league only schedule. Big 12 Conference commissioner, Bob Bowlsby adopted a 9 plus 1 format meaning each program will face each Big 12 opponent plus one non-conference opponent. 

    This was revealed after the Big 12 cancelled the annual Big 12 Football Media Days in Frisco, TX and also cancelled the virtual media days.

    A topic the guys discussed at length while acknowledging the fact this decision is not one any of them would want to be in position to make. 

    Gone are marquee games such as Texas at LSU and OU vs Tennessee. 

    In segment two, the two members of the Texas Longhorns football fraternity, Jimmy Saxton and Todd Hunt, who initiated the idea to create a statue to honor the late great, Julius Whittier on the UT campus joined the guys to discuss how the idea came about and how it became a reality. 

    During the latter portion of the Darrell K. Royal era as head football coach of UT, Whittier became the 1st black letterman in the storied football program's history. Whittier played from 1970 to 1972, helping win a national title in 1970 and three Southwest Conference championships.

    Saxton was a legacy at UT from Westlake High School and played both quarterback and defensive back at Texas. His late dad, James Saxton is a legendary Longhorn who was a Heisman Trophy finalist his senior season. Jimmy Saxton now runs his own State Farm Insurance agency in Austin. 

    Hunt was a defensive tackle for the Longhorns in the early 1990's and is now a Global Account Manager for Dell in Round Rock. Hunt also plays a key role in managing a UT football alumni group.
