## Resource

Today is “Way Back Wednesday,” and Texas Longhorns Head Coach Steve Sarkisian had a lot to say in a USA Today article. He talks recruiting, NCAA rules, and takes a shot at another SEC school. The start times of two major Texas college football games were announced. The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 126-97 with Victor Wembanyama scoring 27 points and 17 rebounds. The Philadelphia 76ers drop their president of operations. The NBA free agency speculation will start, and LeBron James is still the big fish. Major League Baseball is at its halfway point; we talk midseason awards. We have the latest in NFL news. “The World’s Strongest Take!” Plus, we have Danny Davis of the Austin American-Statesman talk about Coach Sarkisian’s comments in the USA Today article, Texas Football, and Texas Baseball. You can hear it all here on “The Morning Kickoff Show!”
