The boys are back and its that, the most welcome of Houston Cougar offseason topics, an episode with a ton of good men's hoops offseason news which is included in a number of different Cougar sports topics covered in this episode, as follows:

• Milos Uzan officially returns to the men's basketball program! What Uzan's return means for the 2025-26 season & Pop Isaacs' corresponding de-commitment from the program
• Kelvin Sampson's extension becomes official
• Appropriately honoring Antoine Jean's incredible 2025 baseball season & the team's season ends at the Big 12 tournament
• Looking ahead to Cougar athletes competing at the NCAA Track & Field West Prelims

Just because the boys have reached the end of Houston Cougar regular season sports for the 2024-25 season doesn't mean there isn't a ton to talk about from sports in and out of their respective seasons, as Bobby & Sam kick around the following topics:

• A really encouraging 'ahead of schedule' performance from Track & Field (primarily, but not exclusively the men's team) at the BIg 12 Outdoor Championships
• Recapping the final regular season baseball series vs Arizona & looking ahead to a die or die week in Arlington (are there any other kind) at the Big 12 Baseball Championship
• The FINAL 24-25 Cougar Golf Corner, talking Moa Svedenskiold's NCAA Championship appearance & the latest commitment to the women's golf program
• Tennis has its first offseason roster movement with 2 interesting transfers commiting in the past couple of weeks
• Eddie Nuñez drops some interesting men's basketball news items
• A teaser of the otherwise Patron-exclusive '2025 Coog Vibe Check, Part 2' episode that's dropping this current week

We're partying like its an early season Pawd episode, because both co-hosts are in person in Vegas with the following Houston Cougar topics on offer:

• Bobby gets the chance to weigh in on UH moving on from Kristin Vesely, bigger picture thoughts on everything uncovered in the past 12 months, and talking specific candidates for UH's newest vacancy
• Baseball clinches (maybe?) at least a trip to the Big 12 postseason
• Another Golf Corner featuring the Coogs in an NCAA Regional
• Previewing the Coogs at the Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field championships
• SNEAK PREVIEW of our premium "Cougar Athletics Vibe Check, Pt 1" pawd

The original co-hosting duo returns to discuss UH letting go of longtime softball head coach Kristin Vesely, including returning to reporting last summer of a toxic environment in the Cougar softball program, things the co-hosts have learned in the time since, and what UH did right (very little) and didn't do right (lots) institutionally in reaching today's outcome and what the program should look for in its next leader.

The boys are back, as the lazy days of May certainly don't equate to the lazy Pawdcast co-hosts of May as there are a number of Houston Cougar sports topics to discuss on this show:

• Baseball finally earns their way to lead the show, with a 4-0 week that puts the team in prime position for the Big 12 postseason & looks ahead to a big road series in the Valley of the Sun
• Golf Corner: checking in on women's golf at the NCAA Columbus Regional and the men's trip early next week to the NCAAs in Champaign-Urbana
• Men's Hoops makes a rare outsider hire for new assistant coach Mike Ekanem
• Bobby has Sam rank five songs that'll be near and dear to all Coogs' hearts
• Checking back in on an unsurprisingly poor softball season & telling ourselves some variation of "surely Kristin Vesely can't be the coach here much longer" 

For the last time in the month of April 2025, the boys have returned to discuss a mixture of Houston Cougar sports topics, both of the in season and offseason news variety, including the following:

• A triumphant Golf Corner following an impressive 4th place finish by the men's team at the Big 12 championships & the women's team learned their postseason destination and Bobby gives a listener refresher on the golf postseason format
• Football sees 4 new transfer arrivals and more departures from the defensive backs
• Talking Matthew Mitchell's first 3 transfer adds to the women's basketball program
• Catching up with the standout performances from the last few weeks of the Outdoor track & field season
• A 2-2 baseball week that the boys don't feel terrible about & a BIG weekend series with Utah looming

You better believe the boys are back for a late April Pawdstravaganza of Houston Cougar sports content... sports in their offseason (or spring season), sports in the business end of their seasons, sports right in the middle of their season. What we're saying is we're talking Cougar sports, including the following topics:

• JoJo Tugler, Emanuel Sharp, and others confirm their very welcome returns to Cougar men's basketball
• Diving into the '25 spring football practices, position groups/players the guys are most intrigued by, and some notable recent transfers in and out of the program.
• A Big 12 championship Golf Corner as the men have a solid first couple of rounds and the women are doomed by a poor final round after a strong start
• Our final in season Tennis Corner of 2025, with things we're encouraged about and areas the team can improve after year 1 of Kat Adamovic's tenure
• Baseball completes a season sweep of Rice and splits games in a weather shortened series at OK State and looks ahead to a big road series at K State

The boys are back here at the beginning of the hot part of the year with a variety of interesting Houston Cougar sports topics, including the following:

• A Cougar Golf Corner featuring the women's team winning an event in Dallas that Bobby caught in person & beginning competition at Big 12 championships & an encouraging event finish in Arizona from the men's team ahead of Big 12s next week
• A Cougar Tennis Corner where Sam finally got to watch the Coogs in person for 2 very different matches in Utah that showed how far the team has to go & also the positive signs of the culture Kat Adamovic has started building in year 1
• Baseball gets swept for the 2nd time in 3 home Big 12 series and it feels like another week of 1 step forward, 2 steps back
