## Resource

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.
