The Triple Option

Who wins in a fight, a Longhorn or a Red Raider? Coach Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II, and Rob Stone break down the back and forth between Texas and Texas Tech and whether there is a way to ensure more cross conference major matchups or if they are a thing of the past. Mike Leach is on the College Football Hall of Fame Ballot and Urban discusses their sleepover years ago...no there weren't any pillow fights. Alabama Athletic Director Greg Byrne joins the guys to discuss the extensions for Kalen DeBoer and Nate Oats, managing a championship factory like Alabama, and if conference championships still have a place in college football. Finally, we raise our glasses to the new faces of college football, or at least of CFB 2027 and Mark talks about what it was like to be on the cover after his Heisman season in 2012.
