Charlie talks about the big Verlander news and spends a couple segments with college football expert Phil Steele to go over the weekend's slate of games.

Charlie begins the show with last night's UH Cougar basketball matchup vs Virginia. He also touches on Coach K's recent issues with his program, and he touches on Steph Curry and his early MVP bid in the NBA season.

Charlie goes over the current Carlos Correa free agency, the UH Cougars big win over Virginia, and talks with Dan Shaughnessy about his latest book, Wish it Lasted Forever, on the Larry Bird era Celtics.

In the final hour of the show Charlie talks about how long the Rockets rebuild could take; what the Astros will do now that Jake Meyers will be out until at least Opening Day; and Phil Steele joins the show to preview this weekend's college football matchups.

In the first hour of the show Charlie talks about the Rockets falling short against the Detroit Pistons; Astros Outfielder Jake Meyers had surgery on his shoulder Wednesday and will be out for some time; and is Stephen Silas too nice of a coach?
