Andy examines the newest info drop from EA Sports. This time, it’s Dynasty Mode. What kind of coach will Andy choose to be? Will he try to recruit more from the high school ranks or take the Coach Prime/Lane Kiffin route? The possibilities look very intriguing.

Next, UTSA coach Jeff Traylor joins the show to discuss the transition from high school coach so good they named the stadium after him to college head coach. Traylor explains the pros and cons of the transfer portal at his level, and he discusses how to hang on to good players when other programs come knocking. He also talks about how different it will be without stalwarts Frank Harris and Rashad Wisdom, who started all four of Traylor's previous seasons at UTSA.

Then it’s time for your questions.

Will the video game make people better fans or more annoying fans?

Is finishing No. 16 (or No. 17 or No. 18) in a conference grounds for automatic firing?

Which school has the tastiest mascot?
