## Resource

Today is “Longhorn Monday,” the Texas Longhorns football team lands another explosive athlete to its depth chart, gaining another running back to its backfield with another recruiting commitment. We had a plethora of games in the NBA Playoffs over the weekend, and who fell and who moved on. The Major League Baseball Automatic Balls and Strikes System has been a benefit to the game. Texas Baseball and Softball have had an up-and-down weekend as we get close to the end of the season. The Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans are impressed with some of their draft selections. We have some WNBA preseason talk. The Kentucky Derby had an historic winner. “The World’s Strongest take!” Plus, Zach Symm of Orangebloods.com joined the show to talk Texas baseball. You can hear it all here on “The Morning Kickoff Show!”
