7Alex Golesh and his Bulls down-right decimated the UTSA Roadrunners, then had a lot to say about it.

Can UTSA put their road…

Don't count out the Roadrunners in the Alamodome, especially in their black out unis. UTSA felt disrespected by Tulane, and responded in kind of a shocking 48-26 shellacking on ESPN. We break down how the Roadrunners were able to turn things around, and discuss the improving health of the offense. Next up is another super formidable opponent, as US…

The outlook for both UTSA Men's and Women's basketball looks tough to tip off the 2025-2026 season. Austin Claunch has to flip his entire roster (again) in his second season, while Karen Aston will need to nurse up an extremely injured roster. We examine the roster on both programs and preview the upcoming schedule. 00:00 Season Preview: Excitement…

Jeff Traylor chose to stood pat over the bye week after the Roadrunners were humiliated against rival North Texas.

Jeff Traylor's UTSA program has failed to show up in three games under Traylor's tenure. All three have been in rivalry games, with the most recent being a disgusting 55-17 beat down from the UNT Mean Green. This is the type of loss that points to deep cultural issues, as the head man himself ate his own cheese following an impressive but anticipat…

The Roadrunners let some steam loose on the Rice Owls with a record-setting performance that saw UTSA knock three different Rice quarterbacks out of the game. UTSA's offense found a new level of explosiveness thanks to some home run plays through both the ground and the air. Meanwhile, UTSA's defense wouldn't be left out of the scoring party as the…

The Roadrunners looked to have corrected some issues coming out of the bye week, then halftime happened. Temple Head Coach K.C. Keeler ripped into his team at the half then took control of the contest to overcome an 11 point deficient. UTSA looks to be in deep trouble as the toughest part of the conference slate looms. Can the Roadrunners turn thin…

Road wins against FBS opponents are never something to take for granted, but man was this offensive performance was hard to swallow. UTSA returns almost all of their offense, yet they look less cohesive than the defense where zero starters returned. We break down the performance against the CSU Rams and what needs to change in the bye week. 00:00 I…

The Roadrunners handled business against Incarnate Word with a boring offensive game plan and a knack for generating turnovers against an overmatched opponent. Now UTSA has to build off of their first win with a challenging road trip to face an opponent they are 0-2 against historically. CSU's passing offense is in shambles, and UTSA has one of the…

For the second straight year, Texas State looked like the better coached and more well prepared team in the I-35 rivalry. It was the Bobcats who stepped up each time a big play was needed, and never wavered in the face of adversity from the Roadrunners. Jess Loepp's secondary was torched, while the offense struggled with consistency. Where do thing…

While the Roadrunners weren't able to pull the upset against #19 Texas A&M, UTSA sure looked the part against an SEC foe. Winning in the trenches and mostly avoiding penalties, Jeff Traylor feels like his team has the right stuff to compete for a championship. UTSA will have a chance to prove their progression over the offseason this week as they w…

Football season is back! The Roadrunners look to follow up on a hot finish to the 2024 season with Owen McCown back under center, but they'll need a rebuilt defense to step up.

Coach also opens up to share how his hard-nosed coaching style builds lasting connections with his players, how next year's roster is looking, and his staff's plan on leveraging increased revenue…

I feel safe in saying this is the longest UTSA Baseball podcast of all time, but it's so warranted following the wild past two weeks in the program's history. The Roadrunners made their first Super Regional trip, but strange news about Pat Hallmark's contractual status with UTSA quickly overshadowed the narrative around the program. In this episode…

The Roadrunners are two wins away from Omaha as they head out West to take on the UCLA Bruins in UTSA's first-ever Super Regional appearance.

With the Roadrunners having earned their first-ever at-large bid to an NCAA regional, UTSA will now look to scratch another "first" off the list -- winning a game in a regional for the first time ever. First up for the Roadrunners will be a Kansas State team that lives and dies by the home run. Can Zach Royse avoid hard contact to put up a quality …

UTSA Baseball's postseason will begin on Tuesday as the Roadrunners play their fourth straight game against the Rice Owls.

We also zoom out a bit to talk about UTSA's chances at winning the tournament, as well as receiving an at-large bid. La…

The Roadrunners will wrap up their regular season this weekend with a chance to set a new program record for wins.

Dan is joined by the ever-insightful Matthew Bartlett from At The Roost to preview this cruc…

The House Settlement is on the horizon, bringing a new era of revenue sharing to college athletics. We know that UTSA will opt-in to the settlement, meaning they'll be paying their student athletes. But how will UTSA strategize their movements around this opportunity? Which sports will see the most investment? How does Runners United tie into the e…

31 runs later, the Roadrunners walked out of San Marcos with a crazy win over Texas State. The wind was blowing out and balls were flying out of the park right and left. Despite some command struggles from UTSA's pitching staff, the Roadrunners proved they were a better team by fighting back from a large deficit to sweep the season series against t…

UTSA will look to keep the Memphis Tigers' bats cold this weekend as they welcome Memphis to the Bird Bath. The Roadrunners will be a heavy favorite on paper, which means anything less than a sweep could drastically hurt UTSA's RPI and chances at a potential at-large bid.

The Roadrunners are off to their second best start in program history, but there's little room for a let up as UTSA will need to protect their high RPI to give themselves a chance at an at-large bid to a regional. Before previewing this weekend's series against Tulane, we take some time to survey the American as we reach the halfway point of confer…

Be careful of writing off this weekend's series against Wichita State as a slam dunk for the Roadrunners.

We're back from a few week hiatus to look back and take stock of the Roadrunner's up-and-down 2024 season after having some time to process the year that was. UTSA certainly didn't meet their potential, but there's also a lot to be happy with as Owen McCown showed us that life after Frank Harris may not be as frightful as we feared. We grade the co…

UTSA sure didn't play their best against Temple, but it was still more than enough for the Roadrunners to comfortably defeat the Owls and secure a perfect record at home in the Alamodome. We explain why UTSA's 51-27 win still felt a bit underwhelming, especially in light of an extremely tough matchup against #25 Army this Saturday. 0:02:08 - Apprec…

The Roadrunners continued their winning ways in the Alamodome in November as they skated past their AAC rival on the back of a record-setting performance from the offense.

Jared leads a solo pod to preview UNT ahead of Friday's matchup on ESPN2. Both programs have very strong passing game, no real rushing attack, and a very young secondary.
