After a week off for Christmas, we're back with the podcast -- we even were able to dig up Grady for this one! (Although we did have a few issues with Grady's audio. Not too distracting, I don't think.)

We spent the first half of the show looking back at the nonconference schedule, including how surprised we were that the team wrapped up nonconference play 10-2 and some awards for the first 12 games of the season. The second half of the show is dedicated to looking at expectations for the team in Pac-10 play, as well as previewing this weekend's matchups with Oregon and Oregon State.

As usual you can listen to the audio via the player below, or visit our podcast page for myriad subscription options. You can also find us in the iTunes directory under keyword "CougCenter." The advantage of subscribing? Besides having the audio directly delivered to your player of choice, I often upload the audio to the podcast site before posting it here.
