It was Clynch and Hardge holding the fort down while "Big MIke" and "Coach Mo" were swamped with business obligations.

The former Texas Longhorn football running back great from Kirbyville, Texas was candid and open about this story in segment 1 with Clynch and Hardge.

Hadnot delivered some entertaining stories about his upbringing in East Texas and the resurgent 1990 Texas football season called, the Shock the Nation Tour. A freshman season in which Hadnot rushed for 500+ yards and contributed to UT's 1st conference championship since 1983 that season. Only to experience an embarrassing frigid morning at the Cotton Bowl against "The U", the Miami Hurricanes.

A game if Texas would've won, the Longhorns may have captured the national championship.

Butch experienced some drama after his sophomore season. A misunderstanding about the reasons why he was on the Texas A&M campus, dropping off friends of his who played on the Aggie football team. It was portrayed as he was inquiring about transferring to Texas A&M.

According to Hadnot, that was not the truth.

Hadnot experienced some academic issues which is why he took summer classes in 1992 after John Mackovic was hired to succeed David McWilliams. Hadnot signed with the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts, then found out he was reinstated academically with UT. But, it was too late to continue playing college football due to signing to play professionally. 

Butch offered his take on the Name, Image, & likeness and how that would've benefitted himself and student-athletes during his era.

Hadnot's story included becoming a mentor to youth and youth sports all while returning to finish his degree at UT.

In segment 2, Clynch and Hardge discuss the NLI subject and how fellow co-host, Mike Murphy, the owner of Last Stand Hats, are educating prospective student-athletes how to partner with the right companies. 

The boys delivered some energy about Austin's 1st true high level pro sports team, Austin FC scoring the franchise's 1st goal(s) at their home Q2 Stadium last week vs Portland.

Clynch and Hardge closed it out with the "Tell Me Something Good" segment.
