On this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes open the show discussing the remaining 2021 signees who will start to make the move to Austin, Texas this weekend in time for summer workouts. Chip and Taylor weigh in on whom, if any, of the 2021 freshmen enrollees could see early playing time for Texas this upcoming season and guys to keep an eye out as potential difference makers in the future. 

The Flagship then takes an in depth look at the Longhorns' 2021 Big 12 Conference schedule, which could be a challenge to get through for Steve Sarkisian and Texas. The Longhorns will face some of the toughest opponents in conference play, including back-to-back road trips at TCU in Fort Worth and against Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl the following week before returning home to face Mike Gundy and the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Chip and Taylor weigh in on what to expect early on in Big 12 play and how this year's Texas team is in a similar boat as Oklahoma was last season — being tasked with facing a tough early conference slate while also breaking in a first-time starter at quarterback.

The show then shifts focus to the Texas baseball team after the Longhorns clinched the Big 12 title last weekend with a series win over West Virginia. Texas enters the Big 12 Tournament as a No. 1 seed and is expected to host post-season action at UFCU Disch Falk field upon completion of the conference tournament. Chip and Taylor discuss what they like about this baseball team and why this team has the chance to go deep in post-season play if the Longhorns continue down their current path.

After a short break, The Flagship returns with our ‘Love it or Leave it’ segment, with this week's topics focused on where Texas football needs to improve the most before the start of the 2021 season, which team could give preseason Big 12 favorite Oklahoma a run for its money and give some love to the UT women's tennis team after the Longhorns took home a NCAA national championship over the weekend.

Texas fans won't want to miss this loaded episode of The Flagship Podcast.
