- Episode 279: UTSA's road win over Colorado State raises serious concerns with the offense (00:48:13)
Road wins against FBS opponents are never something to take for granted, but man was this offensive performance was hard to swallow. UTSA returns almost all of their offense, yet they look less cohesive than the defense where zero starters returned.

- Episode 278: UTSA's secondary needs to fix itself against Colorado State (01:12:08)
The Roadrunners handled business against Incarnate Word with a boring offensive game plan and a knack for generating turnovers against an overmatched opponent. Now UTSA has to build off of their first win with a challenging road trip to face an opponent they are 0-2 against historically. CSU's passing offense is in shambles, and UTSA has one of the worst secondaries in the country. Something's gotta give. 00:00:00 UTSA did what they had to do against UIW 00:06:58 Defensive Performance and Turnovers 00:10:54 Offensive Strategy and Passing Game 00:25:07 Defensive Adjustments and Coverage Issues 00:28:14 Emerging Talents in the Defensive Line 00:32:12 Linebacker Performance and Team Discipline 00:36:27 Special Teams Areas for Improvement 00:41:38 Introduction to Colorado State University Rams 01:01:11 Predictions Video: https://youtu.be/eU7SlY3ZDas
- Episode 277: GJ Kinne wins his second straight over Jeff Traylor (01:06:17)
For the second straight year, Texas State looked like the better coached and more well prepared team in the I-35 rivalry. It was the Bobcats who stepped up each time a big play was needed, and never wavered in the face of adversity from the Roadrunners. Jess Loepp's secondary was torched, while the offense struggled with consistency. Where do things go from here? The answers are harder to find on the defensive end. 00:27 Texas State was the better team on the field, are they a better program now? 06:08 The Bobcats were so much more resilient in the heat of the contest 10:40 Pushing back on the narrative of the portal explaining UTSA's struggles 17:18 UTSA had some serious procedural complications on the offense 23:15 Let's be honest, this roster has some glaring holes 32:31 Special teams is a train wreck for UTSA 40:12 Highlighting positives for UTSA coming out of the loss 44:20 Previewing UIW ahead of the Hometown Showdown 55:40 UTSA's secondary will need to show improvement against a similar offense they struggled with last week 59:43 Score predictions Video: https://youtu.be/_EhCBPCf0tA
- Episode 276: UTSA seeks revenge against TXST after a promising showing against A&M (01:16:00)
While the Roadrunners weren't able to pull the upset against #19 Texas A&M, UTSA sure looked the part against an SEC foe. Winning in the trenches and mostly avoiding penalties, Jeff Traylor feels like his team has the right stuff to compete for a championship. UTSA will have a chance to prove their progression over the offseason this week as they welcome Texas State to the Alamodome for the home opener. Can UTSA avenge last year's awful loss in the I-35 Showdown? 04:20 A&M performance recap 34:08 Listener voicemails 46:03 Previewing the Texas State Bobcats 1:11:00 Score predictions Video: https://youtu.be/9MGWFtoFNK0

- Around the Bird Bath: Pat Hallmark takes UTSA to a Super Regional on an expired contract (01:28:49)
I feel safe in saying this is the longest UTSA Baseball podcast of all time, but it's so warranted following the wild past two weeks in the program's history. The Roadrunners made their first Super Regional trip, but strange news about Pat Hallmark's contractual status with UTSA quickly overshadowed the narrative around the program. In this episode we discuss UTSA's showing in their Super Regional loss to UCLA for the first 30 minutes of the pod before diving into the drama around Hallmark's contract for the rest of the show. Let's hope this episode is very quickly outdated with a new contract for UTSA's skipper!
- Around the Bird Bath: UCLA vs UTSA Super Regional Preview (00:39:57)
The Roadrunners are two wins away from Omaha as they head out West to take on the UCLA Bruins in UTSA's first-ever Super Regional appearance. Can the bats stay red hot after taking down Texas last weekend in the biggest series win in program history? UTSA will need to ride the high through the jet-lag and cut up home plate to make the baseball carry through California's crisp, coastal air.
- Around the Bird Bath: Roadrunners eliminate Longhorns, advance to Super Regional (00:28:41)
UTSA Baseball completes back-to-back wins over Texas in the Austin Regional to eliminate the Longhorns from postseason play and advance to the program's first-ever Super Regional. In an electric Regional weekend where the Roadrunners won three games straight, UTSA was firing in all phases: hitting, pitching, fielding, and baserunning. We saw this team at their absolute best when they needed it most. Is this the greatest feat in all of UTSA sports history? Dan talks to us on his drive home from Austin for an unlocked immediate reaction episode.
- Around the Bird Bath: UTSA head to Austin seeking the program's first win in a regional (00:42:29)
With the Roadrunners having earned their first-ever at-large bid to an NCAA regional, UTSA will now look to scratch another "first" off the list -- winning a game in a regional for the first time ever. First up for the Roadrunners will be a Kansas State team that lives and dies by the home run. Can Zach Royse avoid hard contact to put up a quality start and give UTSA a shot at another marquee win?
- Around the Bird Bath: 2025 AAC Tournament Preview (00:58:22)

- Episode 273: The future of NIL at UTSA with Athletic Director Lisa Campos (01:13:47)
The House Settlement is on the horizon, bringing a new era of revenue sharing to college athletics. We know that UTSA will opt-in to the settlement, meaning they'll be paying their student athletes. But how will UTSA strategize their movements around this opportunity? Which sports will see the most investment? How does Runners United tie into the equation? We welcomed UTSA Athletic Director Lisa Campos back to the show to discuss all of these things and more in a very fascinating conversation that Roadrunner diehards will love. Video: https://youtu.be/200Gq7xOB3A
- Around the Bird Bath: UTSA comes out on top of a slug fest in San Marcos (00:24:09)
31 runs later, the Roadrunners walked out of San Marcos with a crazy win over Texas State. The wind was blowing out and balls were flying out of the park right and left. Despite some command struggles from UTSA's pitching staff, the Roadrunners proved they were a better team by fighting back from a large deficit to sweep the season series against the Bobcats.
- Around the Bird Bath: UTSA looks to pounce on a weak Memphis pitching staff (00:24:42)

- Around the Bird Bath: Can UTSA pull off sweeps in consecutive weekends? (00:44:11)
The Roadrunners are off to their second best start in program history, but there's little room for a let up as UTSA will need to protect their high RPI to give themselves a chance at an at-large bid to a regional. Before previewing this weekend's series against Tulane, we take some time to survey the American as we reach the halfway point of conference play.
- Around the Bird Bath: UTSA prepares to face off against Wichita State (00:26:49)
Be careful of writing off this weekend's series against Wichita State as a slam dunk for the Roadrunners. The Shockers have played one of the most difficult schedules in the country this season, though they have struggled to find their footing since conference play began. Can UTSA's pitching staff get back on track to lead the Roadrunners to sole possession of first place in the AAC?
- Around the Bird Bath: UTSA loses a road nailbiter to TCU (00:20:21)
Despite several opportunities to take a commanding lead, UTSA couldn't muster a road win against TCU in Fort Worth as the Horned Frogs' pitching staff recorded 10 strikeouts on the night. Our recap looks into those missed opportunities as we recap the midweek game and take stock of the Roadrunners' impressive RPI.
- Around the Bird Bath: UTSA avoids a blown lead in the I-35 Showdown (00:24:20)
Roadrunner field was packed on Tuesday night as UTSA set a program attendance record while grabbing their 20th win of the season against the hated Texas State Bobcats.
