He also outlines the situation at LSU, where the firing of head football coach Brian Kelly has led to a major contract dispute and ongoing legal action, raising questions about expectations and decision-making in college athletics.
The episode concludes with a look at the WVU women’s basketball team’s upset victory over #15 Duke, achieved despite significant player ejections, and Tom reflects on how moments like these connect to broader themes of hope, faith, and managing expectations.
