Welcome to Episode #36 of the No Conference for Old Men Podcast. The Houston Cougars are 8-3 after two thorough beatdowns over Toledo and Texas A&M-CC. With pre-conference games completed, we better understand every team's identity heading into Big 12 Conference play. Oklahoma St is first up on the schedule for the Cougars. So the Old Men will preview the game and tackle the week's question: "Is the Big 12 still the #1 Conference in the Land"? Lots of chatter on Twitter around this topic, and the Old Men try to separate fact from potential media bias. Please listen as the 3 Old Men weigh in and discuss the topic of the week and provide some quick-hit game summaries and previews. - No Conference for Old Men is available via Spotify / Apple Podcast / SoundCloud & the GoCoogs.com website; we're also available via the Republic of Football Podcast feed from the folks at Dave Campbell's Texas Football as their only basketball-centric offering. - Intro / Exit music: Ground Zero provided by FreeBeats.io - Please follow us on gocoogs.com/old-men/ and x.com/NoConfForOldMen Learn more about your ad choices.
