4th and 5 breaks down what Texas fans expectations should be for the Texas football team after their first two weeks of practice, the 2022 class after the dead period ends on June 1st, and Texas basketball recruiting under Beard with Maligi and Howard leading the way.
Pretend We're Football gives you an introduction to the new Texas basketball coach, Coach Beard. What will his offense and defense look like, what are the make-ups of his teams, and what kind of guy is he? Then they give their opinion of the hire and the process Texas took to landing on Coach Beard.
4th and 5 is back to talk about what the biggest question marks are going into Spring practices for the Longhorns and what they think will be the end results for each question mark. Then they take a look at what appears to be a giant recruiting month in June for the Longhorns.
Josh and Noah are joined by the guys from Fanatic Perspective, Steven and Tran, to talk about all the story lines heading into Steve Sarkisian's first spring practice as head coach of the Longhorns including the impending QB competition, breakout candidates, and of course plenty of hot takes.
They also previewed basketball because this was recorded before the weekend, so late partial credit for the slight optimism that Noah refused to edit out.

Then they dig into the big questions: how to deal with Shaka Smart, whether something may happen this off-season, and where it would leave Texas.
The Texas Longhorns are the Big 12 champs. Pretend We're Football doesn't really know what to do with themselves, but do their best to breakdown every bit of the championship while also looking ahead to March Madness with the #3 seed.
Then they bring on Joe Schwartz to talk about his time on the team and what this championship means to them.
Pretend We're Football looks back on the season to see what they absolutely called and can rub in your face and also what surprised them. Are the guys satisfied with the way it played out? Then they take a look at the Big 12 tourney, how it can play out, and if it even matters.
Pretend We're Football breaks down how great the Kansas series sweep is, where it puts Texas, and what is up with the streaky play from the Longhorns. Then they take a look at the next three games to end the season and just how much OU sucks.
4th and 5 goes over every one of the February commits, what they bring to the table and where that leaves their position group for the 2022 or 2023 class. Then they list out who is next and how Texas will attack the trenches in 2022.
Pretend We're Football stops you from losing your head over Texas absolutely collapsing vs WVU. Yes, it sucked, and they go over what happened, but they also refocus fans on what really matters. After that they break down the games coming up vs Kansas and Texas Tech.
