Prediction Thursday: Longhorns Prep for Mississippi State, NBA Action, and Weekend Picks

Today is "Prediction Thursday," just two days away from the Texas Longhorns' trip to Starkville, Mississippi, to play the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Head Coach Steve Sarkisian met with the media to discuss adjustments ahead of Saturday's game. How will the defense adjust to Michael Taaffe being out for the game, and what should we expect from the Bulldogs? More NBA games last night, and Victor Wembanyama is scary. Cooper Flagg had his rookie struggles, and former Longhorn Tre Johnson was lights out shooting for the Wizards. A breaking story is that an NBA coach and player were arrested this morning in an illegal gambling ring tied to the mafia. We make our predictions for the weekend in college football and the NFL. Sean Payton is still taking shots at Russell Wilson, but Russ is not having it. Plus, a conversation with Eric Henry of Horns 24/7 to talk Texas football and Texas Women's basketball, and "Legend of the Locker Room" Lifetime Longhorn Rod Babers joins us to talk about the Longhorns football team and what needs to be done moving forward. You can hear it all here on "The Morning Kickoff Show!"
