  • Saving College Sports?
    Oct 24 2026

    The U.S. Senate has passed the Protect College Sports act and its anybody's guess if it will actually protect anything. According to some people, college athletics (mostly football) are so out of whack that lawmakers need to step in and lay down some rules. However, other people say that college sports (again, mostly football) are the strongest they've ever been. In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani talk about this new potential law and whether its even necessary. Are college sports broken or are they stronger than ever? Oh, and its video now... #collegefootball #protectcollegesportsact #nil #transferportal

In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani take a look at the numbers 11 through 20 and decide which athletes were the greatest of all time wearing each of those numbers.

  • Who Will Be the Next Indiana?
    Sep 12 2026

    Last season, the Indiana Hoosiers won their first ever football National Championship, but what seems to many people as an overnight success, really took 2 seasons to build which in itself was no small accomplishment. The question is can it happen again? In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani discuss which teams out there have the potential to be the next Indiana and go from nothing to a Natty in 2 years. First, they'll discuss some rule changes that will most certainly affect which team will have next.

  • Craig Way and the State of College Football
    Aug 29 2026

    If you have listened to a Texas Longhorn Sports radio broadcast in the last 30 years then you know this man's voice. Whether it's football, men's or women's basketball, or baseball he has been the "Voice of the Longhorns" longer than the current crop of athletes has been alive. He's seen wins, losses and championships and probably remembers every single one of them...as well as the mascots of every high school football team in Texas. Go ahead...quiz him. In this episode, Kent Koen and Jon Madani talk to our friend Craig Way about his career in broadcasting, the state of college football today and where it might be going and his favorite concerts of the summer.
