Shoulder surgery can feel like a full stop, but for Stevie Lee, it's just a comma on his journey to full health. As your host, I'm taking you through Stevie's road to recovery before we transition onto the field where the UT football team is firing up for the season. We've got a playbook full of insights from the spring game, where the offense showcased depth galore and a thrilling potential with a trio of quarterbacks ready to take the reins. But it isn't all smooth sailing; we navigate the choppy waters of a possible quarterback controversy and what it could mean for the team's dynamic.

On defense, the Longhorns are no less impressive, the spotlight and a secondary that's as deep as Texas is big. We've got our eyes on the front lines too, as leadership vacancies leave room for new stars to emerge and shape a defense that can withstand the offensive onslaught of the SEC. Speaking of which, we don't just throw around the football; we tackle the Longhorns' impending move to the SEC with candor, dissecting whether they're ready for the big leagues and if they can shoulder the weight of expectation.

But we're more than just football fanatics here; we're storytellers at heart. From the youngest number one seed in NBA history to the resilience of the UT baseball team, we cover the bases of sports news with the same passion. And in perhaps our most personal segment, I open up about my own adoption story—a narrative that's shaped my life and finds echoes in the experiences of so many others. It's an episode that's as rich and varied as life itself—a testament to triumph, struggle, and the enduring spirit of sports.

Masters week unfolds with the soul of Austin at its core as local legends Todd Leonard and Charlie Crenshaw VI join me to swing through heartening tales and insider golf insights. We tee off reminiscing about the verdant fairways of Augusta National, where long hitters like Bryson DeChambeau are favored, and where tradition is as rich as the history threading through our own Saxton family tales. Our conversation is more than just about the swing mechanics or the leaderboard standings; it's a heartfelt homage to the deep connections fostered in the Austin golf community, and the spirit of sportsmanship we cherish.

As we navigate the mental contours of the game, we spotlight Scottie Scheffler's strategic "no's" that echo beyond the green—a lesson in focus and balance that's vital across life's fairways. Hear how this simple yet powerful approach has become a linchpin for success. We also tackle the complexities introduced by the LIV Golf series, stirring the pot of tradition and evolution within the sport. And for those who love the lore as much as the links, we pay tribute to the legendary Vern Lundquist, whose masterful commentary has left a lasting impression just as indelible as the most iconic Masters moments.

Wrapping up our Masters celebration, we share a toast to the selfless acts that define the Austin community, with Todd Leonard's recent display of altruism spotlighted. The warmth of friendship and shared experiences underlines our discussion, as golf is not merely a game but a conduit to life's most profound bonds. So, whether you're an avid golfer or someone drawn to stories of human kindness and connection, this episode promises to be a memorable round through the cherished traditions and vibrant community of Austin's golf enthusiasts.
