Entertaining, intelligent, and thought provoking discussion about Texas Football from Rod Babers (2002 All-American as a Longhorn), Jeff Howe (Texas Football beat writer), and Matt Butler. 

The identity of our show is most easily summarized as guys who bring unfiltered thoughts and opinions while being as entertaining and insightful as possible. In addition to finding our weekly show here, you can also listen to all of our archived interviews with more than 50 Texas Football players over the past few offseasons.  Even though we work as hard as we can to do our job each week, I'd say that normally whoever our guest is easily outperforms us.  

If you haven't been able to listen to many of the interviews then I suggest just checking out the Best of Longhorn Blitz with Horns247 Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 episode...  Or if you want to listen to an entire episodes check out the 2005 National Championship Told by Kasey Studdard and Tim Crowder.
