Episode 170: The West runs through UTSA

Woke up Sunday morning and yep… that had really happened. The UTSA Roadrunners used a storybook ending to secure their first divisional title in program history, snapping a three season streak for UAB. We talk about the emotions and schematics surrounding the game before previewing a North Texas game that’s about ten times more interesting than we thought it would be a month ago.

00:00 – UTSA followed the original blueprint for the program to win their first ever divisional championship

07:43 – Jeff Traylor has had so much good fortune at UTSA we can only assume he’s been visiting a southside curandero

13:12 – A Texas hero was sitting just one row above Jared and Adrian and spoke some words of wisdom that ended up playing out on the field

23:56 – Some key seniors did not participate in senior day festivities, perhaps giving us an indication of UTSA’s plans to bring back players for super senior seasons.

32:34 – We take a deep dive into the X’s and O’s, penalties, officiating, and coaching decisions which played into the final score of the UAB win.

44:14 – Oh we doing Birds Down now???

54:13 – UNT has their backs against the wall. They’ll miss out on bowl season if they lose, and it might cause their head coach to be fire. Can the Roadrunners defeat a Mean Green team playing for survival without looking ahead to the conference championship?

1:11:30 – Karen Aston earns her first win at UTSA, while UIW and SFA prepare for a huge FCS playoff matchup in San Antonio
