HornsCast - Podcast Channel for Longhorn Sports

A day away from a date with Destiny at Fair Park (Destiny being the most statistically common stage name for OU graduates), a frustrated and divided Longhorn fanbase can come together around a singular, unifying and inescapable conclusion - F*** OU. Jason Chilton (@KnowTheGame60), Jacob Detamore (@kipsbigboy) and special guest/OG Barker Steve Ross (@srr50) break down this year's matchup, revisit perhaps the hatin'-est game in the history of a hate-filled rivalry and ponder why Mila Kunis won't date any of them. Filled with X's and O's, a sense of history, a sense of drunkenness, a couple of guest sponsors from north of the Red River and some surprising anatomical facts about dolphins, this is one Hate Week podcast that you'd hate to miss. It's (whatever time you chose to download and listen to this podcast,) and OU still sucks.

Mike Roach left Will Baizer alone again. So Will invited his good friend Allen Kenney of BlatantHomerism.com to preview the biggest rivalry of the all, the Red River Shootout (it's Shootout, I don't care what they call it now). They talk about where each program is at the point, how similar these two teams appear to be, and what they expect to happen in a game where the unexpected happens.

The inaugural edition of the Barking Carnival Unplugged podcast comes at a dark time. The Longhorns' defensive debacle in Stillwater meant crossing a watershed line, as Charlie Strong finally lost The Rationals. Barking Carnival's Jason Chilton (Nobis60) and producer Jacob Detamore (KipsBigBoy) discuss Defensive Whack-A-Mole, recount enough different flavors of defensive failure to stock a Baskin-Robbins and take an advanced stats-driven view of just how far Charlie's D has fallen from a championship trajectory. When you lose The Rationals, it's a bleak sign for your future coaching prospects. Can Charlie win them back?

Texas lost to Oklahoma State last weekend, and once again it was the defense and poor management that cost the game.

While Mike Roach was off covering Texas High School football, Will Baizer devised a wondrous idea.

So he gathered up GoodBullHunting.com's StringSays and TelcoAg as well as BarkingCarnival.com's Nobis60 to talk about subjects like: Who is at fault for the end of the Longhorns and Aggies' rivalry on the field? How do Strong and Sumlin compare? Whattaburger or Dairy Queen? All that and more!
