    Will Muschamp Is Back in Austin, Biff Poggi Joins the Show & Devin Gardner Previews the Citrus Bowl
    Dec 24 2025
    National champions Mack Brown and Vince Young join CBS Austin's Bob Ballou for a Citrus Bowl preview extravaganza! But first, they discuss Will Muschamp’s return to Austin as the Longhorns' new defensive coordinator. The guys weigh in on why this reunion makes sense, Pete Kwiatkowski's time as Texas' defensive coordinator and the difficulty of moving on from a coordinator as a head coach. Then, Michigan interim head coach Biff Poggi joins the show. Poggi details the difficult situation Michigan’s players have been thrust into and how he unfortunately expects many of them to opt out of the Citrus Bowl. Poggi also provides his perspective on the current state of college football, discussing how the game has changed, how it needs to continue to change and what challenges the current state presents for both players and coaches. Devin Gardner, former Michigan QB and current co-host of The Blue Print: A Podcast on the Michigan Wolverines, joins the guys as they continue to preview the Citrus Bowl. Devin talks about how he modeled his game after Vince, how Michigan QB Bryce Underwood has developed over the course of his freshman season, how Poggi is aiming to bring stability back to Ann Arbor and how the CFP needs to improve its format. Finally, the guys give out their Underdogs of the Week, look ahead to the CFP quarterfinals and provide their final thoughts on Texas' Citrus Bowl matchup with Michigan. ___ Chapters (00:00) Will Muschamp's Return (27:44) Biff Poggi Joins the Show (51:23) Devin Gardner Joins the Show (1:29:12) Underdogs of the Week (1:33:22) CFP Quarterfinals (1:38:49) Final Citrus Bowl Thoughts New episodes of THE STAMPEDE will be released weekly.

    Bowl Game Uncertainty, Evaluating Texas’ 2025 Season, Heisman Memories & a CFP Preview
    Dec 17 2025
    National champions Mack Brown and Vince Young join CBS Austin's Bob Ballou to talk all things Longhorns! They start the show by discussing the Texas players who are expected to enter the transfer portal, roster management in this era of college football and the increasingly complicated questions surrounding bowl games. Should players travel with the team even if they opt out? Are the players making the decision to opt out themselves or is it coming from someplace else? And do bowl games still matter at all? Then, the guys evaluate the Longhorns’ 2025 season. What left you feeling good? What left you feeling disappointed? And how does that all leave you feeling about what’s to come in 2026? Next, Mack and Vince reminisce about Vince’s 2005 trip to New York when he was a finalist. Vince divulges just how disappointing it was not to win, what he said to his teammates in the immediate aftermath and why he declined to accept the trophy after Reggie Bush was stripped of the award later on. Finally, they dive into Michigan firing Sherrone Moore, give out their Underdogs of the Week, preview the first round of the College Football Playoff & discuss Texas' 2026 schedule. ___ Chapters (00:00) TX State Championship Games (04:04) Managing the Roster (12:37) Bowl Game Opportunities (22:21) Evaluating the 2025 Season (34:24) Heisman Memories (50:00) Michigan Fires Moore (1:02:08) Underdogs of the Week (1:05:44) CFP Preview (1:14:04) The 2026 Schedule New episodes of THE STAMPEDE will be released weekly.

They also get into why Ole Miss was seeded ahead of Texas A&M, the toughest part of the bracket and the news that starting next season Notre Dame will automatically receive a playoff bid if it's ranked in the top 12. The guys wrap up the show by picking their Underdogs of the Week, talking about the first wave of roster movement for the Longhorns and providing their initial thoughts on Texas' Citrus Bowl matchup with Michigan. ___ Chapters (00:00) Michael Huff's Hall of Fame Induction (05:04) Reacting to the CFP Selections (08:40) Texas' Approach to Bowl Season vs Notre Dame's (34:10) What Does Indiana's Success Tell Us?
