Cowboys Are BACK, Survivor Pool MASSACRE & Put RESPECT on Jeff Traylor | In the Building | EP. 647

Episode 647 Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

The Cowboys morning after starts with some love for Dak Prescott. Dallas handles Washington 37-20, Dak reaches a major Cowboys touchdown milestone and the guys discuss his remarkable run against NFC East opponents at home. They're still waiting for postseason success, but Mike argues Cowboys fans can appreciate what Dak is doing without comparing every quarterback to Tom Brady or every season to the glory days.

Then it's football chaos everywhere. The ITB Survivor Pool gets massacred, Mike renounces his Baker Mayfield fandom, the against-the-spread competition comes down to Monday Night Football, and the guys rip through the NFL in the 2-Minute Drill. On the college side, Texas A&M catches serious heat, Lane Kiffin gets a hostile reception in Oxford, and Mike and Rudy say Jeff Traylor deserves far more respect for what he's built and sustained at UTSA.
