Bear with me on the long post but wanted to wrap up "Playbook‑Gate" with 4 takeaways from my POV: 1) I said on Monday that a leaked call sheet wouldn’t tilt the field. Talk to any FBS staffer: every formation, motion and protection is already charted, cross‑scouted and repped by…

I guess this is the “big” UTSA Nike uniform reveal. This is a low energy uniform release. I would’ve took the low hanging fruit to build some excitement around this but that’s just me. Either way I’m ready to see the Runners hit the field. How do yall feel about this uniforms?

UTSA Football fans should know they're appreciated. UTSA's Daemian Wimberly stopped by my live show yesterday & talked about how UTSA always keeps 2-1-0 at the forefront of everything they do and how impactful the fans are in the dome. Traylor has brought real culture to UTSA
Diehards and I can criticize UTSA all we want but I take it personal when outsiders throw shade. I’m always respectful but I won’t mince words…. ever. That being said, my confidence meter is at 8/10 on UTSA having a BIG season in 2025. Where is y’all’s confidence meter at?

It’s almost as if the “American” Conference schools all decided to start fires 🔥 this week so the coaches can have a hard time during media day. - Tulane bringing in controversial ex-BYU QB - Memphis offer $200M to enter the Big 12 - “Playbook-gate” involving Memphis & UTSA
Since I’m covering college sports more broadly now, I’ve had to give an elevator pitch about UTSA’s football journey to non-UTSA fans a lot. I’ve found that key points that I like to highlight about UTSA, people don’t care about lol. 😂 So yall tell me what I should include 😅

As a UTSA football fan, which game are you anticipating the most this season? - UTSA vs Texas State - UTSA vs Tulane - UTSA vs North Texas - UTSA vs Texas A&M

Im going to set UTSA vs Memphis “playbook-gate” on fire in Monday’s article. Until then, I’m putting a team together to cover the G6 in a unique way over at @TheReadHQ. We’ve already gotten started! Would appreciate your follow over there. 🙏🏾 Have a great weekend everyone!
