Blindsided By the Birds: UTSA Wins Its First Game in Austin, Trouncing Texas 49-3. AudioBlog
#14 UTSA walked into Austin with the state crown on the line and left with a 49-3 statement win over #11 Texas. In this audio blog edition of Roadrunners Rising: The Stonewall Merritt Era, Frankie “The Horn” Calderón breaks down how the Roadrunners won their first game in Austin, why Wayshawn Parker’s 258-yard, 4-touchdown explosion changed the conversation, and how Mekhi Anderson, Owen McCown, Vic Shaw, Bob Toone, and the Southwest Sack Exchange turned a top-15 matchup into a public correction. Texas had the brand, the crowd, and the history. UTSA had the better football team. Read the full blog: feotbpod.org Watch Rise of the Roadrunners on YouTube: @FeOTBpod Birds up. Beep beep.

Group Stage Glory, Florida Shockwaves & Bucket List Dreams | Audio Blog
Episode 280 of The Far End of the Bench hits the summer sports chaos from every angle. In this audio blog, we break down the USMNT making World Cup history by winning back-to-back matches for the first time since 1930 and taking control of Group D, then look ahead to the knockout-stage possibilities. From there, the focus shifts to Florida, where Giannis Antetokounmpo heading to Miami shakes up the NBA and Brady Tkachuk joining Matthew Tkachuk with the Panthers makes Florida even more dangerous in the NHL. We also touch on the PLL’s San Diego weekend, the best bucket-list sports and arena events from this week’s VS debate, and the Episode 280 Player and Benchwarmer of the Week awards. This is the audio companion to Group Stage Glory, Florida Shockwaves & Bucket List Dreams | FEOTB EP. 280.

Battle for the Texas Crown: #14 UTSA Heads to Austin With Everything to Prove | Audio Blog
The Battle for the Texas Crown is here. No. 14 UTSA heads to Austin to face No. 11 Texas in one of the biggest tests of the Stonewall Merritt era. After humiliating Baylor and burying Texas State 69-0 in San Marcos, the Roadrunners now walk into Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium with something bigger than a regular nonconference win on the line. Respect. Texas is the old kingdom. UTSA is the young champion tired of being told its rise does not count until it happens against the Longhorns. In this audio blog, Frankie “The Horn” Calderón sets the stage for UTSA vs. Texas, the history between the programs, the weight of Austin, and why the scoreboard is the only language Texas respects. Read the full blog at FEOTBpod.org. New Rise of the Roadrunners episode premieres Sunday, June 28th at 9:30 AM MST. #UTSA #TexasFootball #RiseOfTheRoadrunners #CollegeFootball #FEOTB
