This week, "The Thing" Brian Fitzgerald and Chad Hastings break down the preseason Coaches' Poll highlighting Ohio State at number one, where the Aggies and Longhorns sit, and how—based on the number of teams in the top 25—the road to the national championship goes through the state of Texas.
They also discuss how a possible MLB or NHL expansion could land a team in Austin. They each share which sport they think has a better shot to succeed in Central Texas reflecting on the history of local minor league sports in the area including the Texas Stars (AHL) and the Round Rock Express.
