On our vodcast, Hear Me Out, sportswriters and columnists from four major Texas newspapers — including our Kevin Sherrington — will provide sage analysis, spirited debate and hot takes on everything Texan and college football each week, whether that’s College Football Playoff worthiness or best tailgating options.

This week’s episode kicks off with last week’s poll question: What Texas college team do you love to hate the most? The traditionally reviled big boys (by those outside their circles), Texas and Texas A&M, vied with Texas Tech, the new kid on Loathed Lane, in our poll. The burnt orange behemoth came out on top, but our audience found plenty of disdain to go around. Our lads didn’t dally, however, quickly moving to a discussion of the consequences of last week’s losses by SMU and Texas A&M and offering there opinions on this Saturday’s showdowns.
