Another great week, with the weekend to come...

I'm very excited about what we've accomplished this week.

We've tried to stay ahead of the curve on the various coaching staff changes within the Baylor football program.

We had the nugget during Thursday's show the day before it was announced Phil Bennett would be the defensive coordinator. We had the note on Twitter very early on Friday morning before that release as well.

And, we were able to get a lengthy one-on-one with Phil Bennett on Monday afternoon and the response was nuclear in a good way on the various message boards and on our talk show. Bennett has given Baylor Nation a little "kick in the pants" with his various quotes.

Paul Catalina and I were live from the American Football Coaches Association Convention on Tuesday at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas and grabbed Art Briles to talk about the Bennett hiring and the pending changes on the defensive staff.

And, on Wednesday, we continued to stay ahead of the curve with the nugget about Jim Gush as linebackers coach and Carlton Buckels as cornerbacks coach. Sicemsports.com had a note about Gush on Tuesday evening and I had three sources give me confirmation on his eventual hiring on Tuesday night.

We were able to line-up Coach Buckels on Wednesday's show, and Coach Gush today (Thursday).

We've also had a nice run this week involving segments with former Astros All-Star OF Jimmy Wynn and Cowboys Hall of Fame DB Mel Renfro.

I'm headed to the Killeen/Fort Hood/Copperas Cove market on Friday morning to meet with a school or two about the football season and to dig around on some potential sponsors.

We're hosting You Make The Call at Automax Hyundai in Temple.

It's been another really good week, and our sales for this month have surpassed a number that was once the threshold during a good month. And, for it to come during January, normally a very slow month in radio sales, makes it even more special.
