## Resource

Today is "Way Back Wednesday," the SEC Quarterback rankings came out, and Texas Longhorns QB Arch Manning is once again at the top of the list. Head Coach Steve Sarkisian talked to Marshawn Lynch. We talk about Texas football's strength-of-schedule rankings, with the Longhorns ranked as the toughest going into the season. The San Antonio Spurs fall to the Portland Trailblazers 106-103, with Victor Wembanyama suffering a concussion earlier in the game. The Los Angeles Lakers handled the Houston Rockets 101-94, with LeBron James going into the bag with a 28-point night. Also, Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard shot a combined 8-13 from behind the arc. We are a day closer to the NFL Draft, and we discuss the Dallas Cowboys' mock drafts and what they need to do to get the talent they want. Longhorns' softball continues to play great, with Vivian Martinez winning the SEC Player of the Week Award with a batting average of .700, an on-base percentage of .727, and an on-base slugging of 1.427. "The World's Strongest Take!" Plus, a conversation with Danny Davis of the Austin American-Statesman to talk Longhorns' baseball, football's spring camp, and women's basketball addition in the transfer portal. You can hear it all here on "The Morning Kickoff Show!"
