March 2 The PodSpring is in the air for Bearkat AthleticsSpring is in the air—and Bearkat Athletics is in overdrive. Cory Hogue and Ben Sorrells open with a tribute to Austin Farmer and share how fans can support his family, then sprint through a packed Sam Houston sports week: track & field highlights, bowling’s runner-up finish, women’s tennis momentum, year-two beach volleyball, golf updates, softball’s weekend results (and a key injury watch), and an encouraging early tone for Bearkat baseball behind improved pitching depth.

2026-02-1956 minMarch 2 The PodSigning Day, Softball Expectations, and a Big Hoops WeekendSeason 3, Episode 23 of March 2 The Pod (presented by Eternal Roofing) covers National Signing Day and Phil Longo’s press conference, including what Sam Houston’s 2026 class means for the roster—especially the young QB room. Then Cory and Ben dive into a full Bearkat softball preview: an elite pitching staff returning every inning, key defensive pieces, portal additions, and why the expectation is to compete for a championship. The episode wraps with women’s and men’s basketball standings, injury/storyline notes, and game predictions—plus a Kat Fund update after the Champions Dinner and golf auction supporting Bearkat golf.
2026-02-0557 minMarch 2 The PodBearkat Hoops Picks: Liberty/Delaware + Portal TalkMarch 2 The Pod returns for Season 3, Episode 21, presented by Eternal Roofing. Cory and Ben catch up after the break (including Cory’s hacked Twitter situation), then dive into Sam Houston football portal movement — departures, early additions, and why offensive line + quarterback depth are the biggest flashing concerns.
On the hardwood, Bearkat WBB is off to a strong CUSA start and faces a tough road swing at Liberty and Delaware. We run through national/conference stat comparisons, matchup keys (turnovers vs rebounding), and make picks using ChatGPT lines.
We also check in with Ben’s Kat Fund update, includ...
2026-01-081h 05March 2 The PodSam Houston Football Report Card & 2026 Fix ListSam Houston just crawled through a 2–10 football season, so it’s time for the annual March 2 The Pod report card. Ben and Cory go position by position and hand out honest grades for the 2025 Bearkats — quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, offensive line, defensive line, linebackers, defensive backs, special teams, and yes, head coach Phil Longo. We talk about where things completely fell apart, who actually earned passing marks, and what absolutely has to change in 2026 if Longo wants to quiet the noise in Huntsville.
Before we dive into the carnage, we start with something a little...
2025-12-041h 00March 2 The PodKats Survive Delaware, Hunt Blue Raiders NextSam Houston finally turned “almost” into another win, and now the question is whether the momentum makes it to Murfreesboro.
In Season 3, Episode 19 of March 2 The Pod, presented by Eternal Roofing, Cory Hogue and Ben Sorrells open with a loaded Bearkats Weekly ReKap: historic men’s basketball signings, a key frontcourt addition for the women, a near-upset at Utah, and what’s ahead against Wyoming, Schreiner, and at the Idaho Classic. On the women’s side, we talk about a defense doing exactly what we expected – and an offense that’s finally catching up.
Then we dive deep i...

Sam Houston finally breaks through—98-yard Tim Burns kickoff return, Lyric Smith’s blocked punt TD, and takeaways from Wilson/Bailey fuel a 21–17 win at Oregon State and a $1.2M payday. We unpack the turning points, the “3rd-and-Longo” moment, and what the film says about the offense. Then we preview Delaware (Saturday, 6 p.m. CT, Shell Energy Stadium, ESPN+): QB Nick Minicucci, WR Kyre Duplessis, LB Gavin Moul, Carty-era tendencies, and the keys for SHSU with Mabrey Mettauer starting and Landyn Locke in the mix while Hunter Watson is out. Plus: Kat...
2025-11-131h 00March 2 The PodBeavers, Beatdowns, and Bearkats: LA Tech Recap and Oregon State PreviewWe keep it real after a 55–14 thud at Louisiana Tech. The run game flashed (hello, Elijah Green), but red-zone choices and tackling told the story. We talk availability reports, injuries up front, and why context matters when you give up chunk plays all night. Then it’s on to Corvallis: Oregon State is stabilizing under an interim and toggling two different QBs; here’s how that stresses a defense that’s thin at DT. If Mabry Matoyer starts while Hunter Watson mends, expect a different menu.
Also on deck: women’s soccer’s penalty-kick thriller (Bond’s saves, Murray’...
