Welcome to our Season 4 kick-off & Episode #85 of the No Conference for Old Men Podcast. The 3 Old Men bring back fellow GoCoogs.com contributor, Jayme Hollingsworth, to preview the Houston Cougars Men's Basketball team heading into the '26-'27 season.  We recorded this episode before most preseason rankings & analytics site updates occurred.  But even with just 1 of 5 starters running it back, that 1 is still Jojo Tugler (national DPOY candidate).  Add to that a number of highly experienced & hungry non-P4 stars coming in from the Transfer Portal, plus the #1 HS Center, and we believe this year's team is going to bring us back to those J'wan Roberts-type Houston teams! Please have a listen as we provide detailed breakdowns of the team in advance of the season opener just around the corner.  The team is experienced,  loaded with hungry dawg-type personalities, and poised to return the Coogs to our Offensive Rebounding/Defensive Demon  roots that signify Coach Sampson teams.  So fans should be prepared for another fun & exciting journey towards March Madness! - No Conference for Old Men is available for free 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 https://gocoogs.com/old-men/
