• North Carolina and NC State are playing a non-conference game? What manner of madness is this?

• Friend of the show and UAB coach Andy Kennedy takes on a new job at his alma mater. Talk about job security! For now, at least.

• Saying farewell to another member of That Little Old Band From Texas. Chris listens to a soul-funk pioneer—on vinyl, no less.
