It was an exciting week in Cougar athletics, as men's track & field put together a top-20 team finish at Outdoor Nationals, and because Outdoor Nationals signified the final event of the 2021-22 Cougar athletics calendar. And since the past week also saw *official* confirmation that UH will be joining the Big 12 next summer, we are officially in our last off-season as a member of the American Athletic Conference. So we're back and we're talking track, and we're talking Big 12, and we're also talking baseball players in the transfer portal.

You didn't think we (the royal 'we') wouldn't have an instant react on the return of Cougar men's basketball star Marcus Sasser? Then you were sadly mistaken.

Sasser wasn't the only Cougar men's hoops topic as a 2023 local recruit committed *and* the first D1 transfer of the offseason joined.

PLUS! Cougar baseball makes a run in the conference tournament (+ big picture end of season thoughts) and Cougar track & field goes to Prelims and sends athletes/relays to NCAA Outdoors.

We're back, somewhat overdue, and boy howdy do we have a lot of Houston Cougar goings on to talk about:

- Intriguing transfer portal additions for Cougar football and women's basketball

- The latest updates on Marcus Sasser's workouts at the G League Elite Camp and NBA Combine

- Track & Field goes up 35 for AAC Outdoors in Wichita

- Softball and both Golf programs end their seasons

- Baseball finishes up an improved season on  a sour note at home

In our second episode of the week, we're taking listener questions, and providing answers on subjects like the Robertson Stadium End Zone Facility, hypothetical lottery winnings, Star Wars, Rice sucking at baseball, and much more. What are the odds Marcus Sasser plays for UH next year? We have no idea, but we sure threw out some guesses.
