The World Series delivers one for the ages — an 18-inning epic as Freddie Freeman’s solo shot sends L.A. past Toronto in what many are calling the greatest World Series game ever. Larry breaks down the drama, from Dave Roberts’ dugout chess match to Shohei Ohtani’s record-setting night reaching base nine times.
Then, we pivot to Provo. Darnell Dixon of the Provo Daily Herald joins to talk about BYU’s unbelievable 8–0 start, freshman QB Bear Bachmeier’s poise, and how the Cougars have become a national power across football and basketball.
Plus, Tom Izzo unleashes a passionate rant about the NCAA’s latest eligibility chaos — raising big questions about amateurism, the transfer portal, and the future of college hoops.
