The boys talk about a disastrous Houston Cougar football Big 12 opener against the TCU Horned Frogs, and other topics that are all varying degrees of less painful, such as the following:

• Week 3 Big 12 football recap and week 4 lookahead... which may actually feature some teams that feel as bad about their 2023 prospects as our team of choice
• The debut of our new, Cougar golf segment
• Volleyball's encouraging bounceback week to close out non-conference play
• Soccer opens Big 12 play for the athletic department and why we're not sweating the 3-0 loss to Texas Tech too badly

LANGUAGE WARNING: We have to talk about it, don't we? The surprising and upsetting loss to Rice was the first topic of this latest pawdcast... but far from the only topics of Houston Cougar import to talk about tonight, including the following:

• Yes, recapping the Rice game, what happened and what it means
• Week 2 Big 12 football recap and Week 3 lookahead
• Anthony North of FrogsOWar.com and the Frogs Up podcast joins the show to preview the TCU Horned Frogs football program
• Season openers for both Cougar golf programs & a team title to talk about already!
• Volleyball gets another top 25 challenge and beats an old familiar foe
• Soccer opens Big 12 play for all of UH athletics this week
• COUGAR HOCKEY TALK! COUGAR HOCKEY TALK! COUGAR HOCKEY TALK!

The boys are back in a gridiron-focused, but not gridiron exclusive episode that talked about the following Houston Cougar, Big 12 and college football topics:

• Cougar football survives the UTSA Roadrunners in a 17-14 game with plenty of defense and special teams highlights... and some offensive questions to answer.
• Week 1 Big 12 football and larger CFB thoughts
• Previewing the Rice Owls and the 45th Bayou Bucket game
• Looking ahead to the Big 12's Week 2 football slate & the hosts' non-Big 12 games to watch
• Volleyball gets more top 25 tests this coming weekend in Indiana
• Soccer continues a high-scoring, undefeated and encouraging start to 2023

The boys are back and WITH AN ACTUAL HOUSTON COUGAR FOOTBALL GAME TO PREVIEW... but as you know we talked about all things current in the UH sports world including the following topics:

• Volleyball goes up to #13 with a 3-0 statement opening weekend in Houston
• Soccer takes care of business & remains unbeaten after 2 weeks of play
• Some quick football depth chart talk & Holgorsen's existential approach to the two-deep
• Jared & Adrian from Alamo Audible return to the pawd to preview the 2023 version of UTSA Roadrunners football
• The boys give their thoughts on UTSA, along with the week 1 Big 12/CFB slate

With a heavy heart we return this week to process the loss of a beloved Cougar athlete and someone who left us far too young. And acknowledging most topics are trivial in comparison to life and death, we talked about the following topics:

• Donovan Smith being named Cougar football's starting QB
• Soccer's fairly positive 1st week of games
• Previewing the preseason #19 volleyball program & what their 2023 could look like
• Also previewing the 2023 Big 12 football season, looking at each of the 11 (you read that right, 11) non-Houston programs in the league

The boys are back, just the OG host duo of Dustin & Sam, this week to talk about the following Houston Cougar topics:

• A quick look at the men's hoopers' tour in Australia and the basketball that was played amid some once in a lifetime experiences down under
• Preview the football offense, big picture thoughts and by unit breakdowns for a promising group with no shortage of unknowns, plus some 2024 and future schedule talk
• Aaaand last but not least previewing the 2023 Cougar soccer season, slated to start its 2nd season under Jaime Frias this week with a number of new, interesting transfers

The boys are back, with a burning (okay, maybe one step below that) desire to talk about the Big 12 Conference for the 2nd week in a row adding programs to its future ranks and take a passing look at what Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah bring to the table. PLUS, the beginning of the annual football previews: this week looking at the Cougar football program's defense and special teams units.

The boys are back, the boys are back for a 9th season and officially the boys now can be taken to mean Dustin, Sam and officially minted co-host Bobby. 

On this season debut all of these fine topics were discussed on this Wednesday evening:

• The addition of the University of Colorado to the Big 12 Conference
• Where does conference realignment go next, who are the most likely schools to join the Big 12, and what this means for college sports at large (spoiler: not great stuff!)
• And of course the main topic: bold prediction(s) by sport for the 2023-24 UH athletics season and of course for all Cougar programs.

The boys had the pleasure of welcoming on Houston Cougar volleyball head coach David Rehr to talk about the exciting past, present, and future of that program.

Additionally, the '23 edition of Summer Pawd Talks concluded with 1st time K State guest and Ten12 network pal Scott of Boscoe's Boys and return guest (and other Ten12 network pal) Andy from the Rock Chalk Pod talked all things Kansas Jayhawks.
