## Resource

Today is "Way Back Wednesday," with more details on the Texas Tech Quarterback Brendan Sorbey's gambling scandal, and he may be finished with college football. Texas Longhorns Head Coach Steve Sarkisian spoke with "Voice of the Texas Longhorns" Craig Way yesterday, and we played and shared our thoughts on the interview. The Longhorn baseball team had a comeback victory last night behind four home runs, including a walk-off by Catcher Carson Tinney. The NBA Playoffs are narrowing down their first round with the Spurs handling the Trailblazers. Are they destined for greatness? The 76ers survive another day, and the Knicks handle the Hawks to tie the series 2-2. Lakers Guard Austin Reeves is likely to play game five against the Rockets, while Kevin Durant is not likely to return for the Rockets. "The World's Strongest Take!" Plus, Austin American-Statesman's Danny Davis joins the show to talk about Texas baseball, football, and women's basketball. You can hear it all here on "The Morning Kickoff Show!"
