About this episode

Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton discuss Texas' SEC path and key storylines from SEC Media Days.

Bobby Burton and Gerry Hamilton are live from Day 2 of SEC Media Days, breaking down the biggest storylines around Texas’ 2026 schedule and the conference race. The crew dives into Oklahoma’s confidence under Brent Venables, John Mateer’s need to cut down on hero-ball mistakes, why OU’s defense could be one of the best in the country, and how the Red River matchup is shaping up as one of the biggest Texas-Oklahoma games in years. The show also covers Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy’s status, Tennessee’s quarterback battle ahead of Texas’ SEC opener in Knoxville, Kirby Smart’s confidence in Georgia, and which SEC coaches are under the most pressure entering the season.
