This was the 308th episode we've done of this #Pawdcast! How did we celebrate? By talking all things Houston Cougar sports from a busy past week that was both for off-season roster additions AND in-season action, including but not limited to:

• Cougar men's basketball adding 2 more D1 transfers to the mix! (Plus bonus alumni content)
• Women's basketball adding 2 transfers of their own, putting our offseason hype gear in overdrive!

Transfers are the name of the game, as the Cougar men's and women's basketball team both picked up impressive senior bigs, while the men also lost Cam Tyson to the portal. We've got a breakdown of how Josh Carlton and Fatou Diagne will look in the red and white.

Plus volleyball bowed out in the AAC semis to end its impressive season, with a slew of postseason awards to show for their effort. Plus the women's track team put up a national top-5 mark in the 4x100 relay (among other impressive performances from the homestanding Coogs), and soccer picked up a dominant conference win.

Lastly, we finally have a long-avoided conversation about the fact that the Cougar bat and ball sports just aren't very good this year.
