Cal is joined by Jake Schaefer from the Play The Fight Song Podcast to preview the 2026 football season for both Oklahoma State and Iowa State.

The guys discuss new coaches, transfer portal additions, quarterback battles, expectations for both programs, the culture changes taking place in Stillwater and Ames, and the massive Halloween matchup when Oklahoma State travels to Iowa State.

Can the Cowboys get revenge after last season's heartbreaking loss? How good can Drew Mestemaker be? Is Iowa State rebuilding or reloading? Jake gives the Cyclone perspective and helps preview one of the most intriguing games on Oklahoma State's schedule.

On this episode of The CGA Tour, Calvin and Trey discuss two major topics impacting Oklahoma State athletics and college sports.

First, the guys break down the new scholarship and roster changes coming to college baseball. Could Oklahoma State Baseball be one of the biggest winners in the country? How will the Cowboys stack up against programs in the SEC, ACC, and across the Big 12 under the new rules?

Then, Calvin and Trey discuss the Brennan Sorsby eligibility controversy after the Texas Tech quarterback was granted an injunction allowing him to play during the 2026 season despite NCAA gambling violations. What precedent does this set? Has the NCAA completely lost control of eligibility enforcement? And what does this mean for future cases across college athletics?

Oklahoma State had a MASSIVE weekend across the board, and Calvin is joined by co-host Trey for a full recap on this episode of The CGA Tour.

We start with Oklahoma State baseball absolutely exploding offensively, including a 7 home run game against Arizona State in one of the craziest performances of the season. What does it mean for the Cowboys heading into postseason play, and can this offense carry them into a Big 12 Tournament run?

Then we shift to Oklahoma State softball, where the Cowgirls officially earned the chance to host an NCAA Regional in Stillwater. We break down the weekend, what OSU did right, and why this team has the tools to make a deep postseason push.

Finally, we dive into the Big 12 drama as Kenny G ripped the conference over the Co-Big 12 Pitcher of the Year decision — and we discuss whether OSU got disrespected once again.

A must-listen for every Oklahoma State fan.
