Two of the usual three boys are back in town, with Dustin and Bobby taking the Cougar discussion to the following topics:

• Willie Fritz continues to fill out the new Cougar football staff and getting to know the new coaches
• Looking at the 2023 football signing class: D1 transfers and the usual high school/junior college signings
• A quick volleyball and soccer recruiting transfer update
• Men's Hoops gets a big non-conference win over Texas A&M, unfortunately sees an end to Terrance Arceneaux's 2023-24 season & holding Texas State to its fewest points in 10 years
• A less inspiring week for women's hoops who got massively outclassed by Wazzu, hut redeemed themselves a bit with a rivalry win over Rice

The boys are unambiguously back, with the following Houston Cougar sports topics to talk about from the week that was and will be:

• Willie Fritz's new Cougar football staff starts to take shape
• A number of key players enter the portal, including but not limited to: Matthew Golden, Tyler Johnson, and Chidozie Nwanko and the first commit of the Fritz era
• Men's hoops takes care of 2 outmatched opponents and look ahead to the first head to head with Texas A&M in 10 years
• Women's hoops also goes 2-0, including their first road win, and get 2 varying degrees of road tests in UTSA and Wazzu

It feels like 2 days ago that we were here pawding about a new football coach, but there's so much going on in the world of Houston Cougar sports that the full compliment of co-hosts wouldn't dare miss talking about the following topics:

• Willie Fritz won the opening press conference and we talked about things that caught our attention from the presser, plus: Fritz/staff contract talk, staff additions, and early portal talk
• Cougar volleyball had an incredible final weekend of the 2023 season: comprehensively beating a very good UCSB squad and then giving #2 Stanford everything they could handle. We also look ahead to 2024 and beyond for David Rehr's program
• Men's basketball passes its first road test over Xavier, overcoming overjudicious officiating and some offensive cold spells
• We reevaluate women's basketball's start to 2023-24 after a disappointing 25-point home loss to Middle Tennessee

Willie Fritz is officially the 16th head coach of the Houston Cougar football program and the 3 co-hosts are pretty stoked about it. Talking the news as its arrived, re: Fritz and the following related topics:

• Why specifically we're so excited about Willie Fritz coming to UH
• A quick biography of his ~30 years as a college football head coach
• Early vs long term expectations for what Fritz can do at a UH program in the Big 12 conference
• Roster and staff super duper early speculation.
