New Year, New Against The Grain

from Against the Grain

2026 is here, and your Against The Grain hosts are prepared to tell you exactly what will happen in sports this year (just don't bet on it)! Rice Women's Basketball is flying through its conference schedule, and we break down the secret to its 9-game win streak. Outside the hedges, we're preparing for a classic CFP final (or another Indiana route). We discuss the biggest storylines from this year's electric CFP and reveal who we see raising the trophy! Lastly, we talk about the hottest thing in Houston right now. No, it's not Ian Kleppinger. Instead, we break down what your hometown Houston Texans must do to advance past the feared Drake "Drake Maye" Maye! Tune in for our best episode this year.
