## Resource

ESPN's Paul Finebaum had some high praise for the 2026 Texas Longhorns, saying he believes the Longhorns are a "fascinating" team that can make a real run at a national championship this season. Do we agree? Plus, he claims that Steve Sarkisian is getting too much disrespect after last season. After that, BK gives the latest recruiting updates for Texas Football in the Class of 2027. Can the Longhorns land some of the biggest names in the country before December's National Signing Day? Also, BK reacts to Dylan Volantis getting snubbed by the SEC, while giving some love to the other Texas Baseball players who took home postseason awards. Thanks for tuning in!
