What does it take to climb to the #1 ranking in college baseball? The Pass Rush welcomes special guest Ty Harrington, former Texas Longhorn player and legendary Texas State head coach, to break down the remarkable rise of Jim Schlossnagle's Texas baseball program in their inaugural SEC season.

Harrington delivers fascinating insights into what makes this Longhorns squad special, highlighting their second-ranked pitching staff (3.03 ERA) and their uncanny ability to capitalize on opponents' mistakes. "When somebody gives you something like a walk or hit batsman, they do a tremendous job of transferring your mistake into your fault, into your loss," Harrington explains. The conversation reveals how Schlossnagle's forward-thinking approach and detailed preparation have Texas positioned for a deep postseason run despite minimal time to build this roster through the transfer portal.

The episode also covers spring football developments, with Stevie sharing observations from practice about the impressive defensive line under Coach Becton. Sean and Stevie discuss NIL challenges facing college athletics, including the high-profile departure of Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava. The hosts wrap up with reflections on Rory McIlroy's emotional Masters victory and Austin lifestyle recommendations, including Stevie's "staycation" wisdom at the Thompson Hotel.
