The world is mourning the passing of Willie Mays, one of the greatest (some would say THE greatest) baseball players of all-time. It turns out that FAU has a connection to the icon via a 70-year old scouting report housed just feet from FAU Stadium at the Avron B. Fogelman Museum. Mr. Fogelman answered questions about the scouting report, how it got to FAU and gave his memories of the baseball legend. Also, with sniping taking place between the FAU and USF football programs this week, we went back to discover why there's so much buzz surrounding USF and looked back at their 2023 season...which needs some serious context to tell the FULL, maybe not so spectacular, story of their 7-6 finish.

FAU head basketball coach John Jakus has a friendship with Celtics boss Joe Mazzulla that spans well beyond basketball. From, first, coaching him, to coaching with him, to standing up in his wedding to developing a connection that could be described as a "brotherhood", Jakus is extremely proud of his now NBA champion friend. Sitting down with Ken LaVicka, Jakus provides an insight into how Mazzulla was able to find success with the Celtics, how to the two met and then continued to cross paths, why significant, sometimes self-inflicted adversity that Mazzulla faced in college helped shape him and cement his bond with Jakus, and why he thinks Mazzulla has a lot more winning to come in Boston. Also, Ken acknowledges a massive oversight from the "Most Impactful People in FAU Sports history" episode and tells a funny story about the naming of FAU's basketball arena.

If you're a Rory McIlroy fan, or just a golf fan, watching Rory meltdown at the U.S. Open was gut-wrenching. For FAU fans, chances are they've also felt that feeling at times during the course of their fandom. Schnellenberger era, Pelini era, Partridge era, Taggart era, maybe even the Herman era, doesn't matter. Heartbreak has always felt like it's right around the corner. In this episode, it's time for a little counseling session as we discuss the most gut-wrenching FAU Football losses over the years.
