Episode 65 – Previewing the 2013 Arkansas Razorbacks

Derek — Fri, 17 May 2013 04:07:34 +0000

In Week 1 of our Around the SEC series, we talked with Doc Harper from SBNation’s Arkansas Expats. We ran Doc through the ringer to get his opinions and expectations on the 2013 Razorback Football team, thoughts on the Aggies and Razorbacks taking the series away from college campuses, and we made him pick a winner of the Alabama vs. A&M matchup on September 14th. The Razorbacks have a killer schedule next season, and they’re facing a lot of similar situations as the Aggies during the move to the SEC.

We also dropped a bomb about a possible Good Bull Hunting radio road tour. Slow your racing hearts, we’ll get you more details on those plans shortly.

Episode 64 – SEC and Manziel Haters, and Von vs PETA

Derek — Fri, 10 May 2013 02:56:26 +0000

This week’s news reel is basically the polar opposite of last week. One thing is for certain though, there is never a lack of things to talk about in the SEC. We attempted to make sense of Bob Stoops’ rambling comments about the mediocrity of the SEC. If you didn’t catch the garbage article by NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks about Johnny Manziel’s pro prospects, just listen to us talk about it. Nothing else needs to be said. And really PETA? PETA? It’s going to take a lot more than the tears of a chicken to stop Von Miller, a.k.a. the Poultry Mogul.

Episode 63 – New Kyle Field, SEC Network, and Jay Arnold

Derek — Fri, 03 May 2013 04:12:40 +0000

There is certainly not a shortage of Texas A&M sports news to cover this week. We gave recaps and reactions to the announcements of both the Kyle Field redevelopment and the SEC Network. 2013 Aggie signee Jay Arnold joined us at the 1:18 mark to fill everyone in on what he’s been doing since football season, what he’s looking forward to in Aggieland, and which current Aggie player he’d like to challenge in the cage.

Episode 62 – Aggies in the NFL Draft & Face Punching

Derek — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 03:26:48 +0000

Congratulations to Luke Joeckel on being selected with the 2nd overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. Luke will without a doubt be a future Pro Bowler for the Jacksonville Jaguars. We broke down the other Aggies that have a shot at making NFL rosters over the next few days. At the end of the show we featured our newest segment, the Good Bull Voicemail. This week, we heard who you guys want to punch in the face.

Episode 61 – M&W Recap, SEC Network, and Dookie Journalism

Derek — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 04:44:29 +0000

There were plenty of good things to take away from the Maroon and White game this past weekend, so we talked about the things we liked from the Aggie on Aggie showdown. We also talked about the business of the SEC Network and some of the things we expect to see from the cash cow that it will be. Lastly, we did on of our favorite things in the world. We took an absolute garbage article from a Longhorn writer trying to reach for the stars and stating 5 reasons the Longhorns could be better than the Aggies next season. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Episode 60 – The Maroon and White Game Preview

Derek — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 04:00:43 +0000

Who Really Cares About Online Classes

Derek — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:52:41 +0000

Does anyone really care if Johnny Manziel is taking online classes? I think the better question is how dense are sports writers who want to act like he’s the only superstar athlete taking online classes.

National Signing Day Special

Derek — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 18:31:50 +0000

We caught up with Taylor Hamm from GigEm247.com, Courtey Roland from Rivals, and Sam Khan Jr. from ESPN.com’s Gig ‘em Nation to review the newly signed Texas A&M Football recruiting class.
