Episode Description from the Publisher

Today is Thirsty Thursday. The NBA Playoffs are on fire, with the Rockets surviving the Lakers 99-93 to make the series 3-2. The Cavaliers beat the Raptors 125-120, and the Pistons beat the Magic with Cade Cunningham and Paolo Banchero dueling with 45 points. The way-too-early NFL Mock drafts are coming out, and four Texas Longhorns are listed in the top ten picks. Panic alarm is going off among Lakers fans. "The World's Strongest Take!" Plus, Eric Henry of Horns 24/7 joins the show to talk about Texas Football, his article on the team's expectations, Texas men's basketball, and the Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby's gambling scandal. We also have Texas Baseball Head Coach Jim Schlossnagle joined the show to talk about last weekend's series with Vanderbilt, Tuesday's comeback victory over Sam Houston St, and the upcoming series against the Mississippi St. Bulldogs. KVUE's Anne-Parker Coleman joins the show to talk about Texas baseball. Our buddy Ike Coronis also joins to show us our two favorite words, free and food, to talk about his new venture into an upcoming food truck. You can hear it all here on "The Morning Kickoff Show!"
