## Resource

Today is “Way Back Wednesday,” the New York Knicks' comeback from a 22-point lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime, 115-104, with Jalen Brunson scoring 38 points. Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has high expectations coming into this season. We discuss what level of play is required for a successful season. Texas baseball and softball teams are cleaning up the awards. We take a look at the NFL's AFC West: which teams do we expect to take the division, and which team will exceed expectations? Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rasheed Rice violates his probation, testing positive for marijuana. NCAA Basketball needs to do something about the rules, as Will Wade and LSU are ruffling some feathers with the latest string of moves forming their roster. The San Antonio Spurs, with a 1-0 lead, get ready to play game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. We will give you a preview of the game. Danhousen is delivering another sports curse. “The World’s Strongest Taker!” Plus, a conversation with Danny Davis of the Austin American-Statesman talking Texas football and Texas baseball. You can hear it all here on “The Morning Kickoff Show!”
