• Frank Harris Joins the Pod

  • Frank Harris, described as “UTSA royalty,” joins the Area 210 crew for a lively, insightful conversation.

  • The crew is short one member—Mike—who’s out celebrating his birthday (and maybe recovering from too much fun).

• San Antonio Spurs Deep Dive

  • The hosts and Frank Harris break down the Spurs-Nuggets game:

    • Spurs led most of the way, but the Nuggets surged back in the fourth, outscoring the Spurs 42-25 to win 136-131.

    • Wemby’s absence was felt; the team “ran out of gas.”

    • Shout-out to Stephon Castle for a triple-double (30 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists)—”absolutely cooking.”

    • Discussion on the evolution of the team, from early-season miscues to becoming a talked-about contender.

    • Frank Harris and the host reflect on the team's depth, improved camaraderie, and the exciting, athletic brand of basketball reminiscent of (but different from) the “Beautiful Game” era.

• The New Spurs Vibe

  • The crew and Frank Harris laugh about in-game traditions like the “drum and clap” celebration which, despite growing on some fans, Frank Harris jokingly refuses to participate in.

  • Commentary on the passionate Jackals supporter section—Frank Harris is all about “watching good basketball,” not distractions.

    • Frank Harris discusses the team’s “rebuild season,” new coaching staff, and redefined culture under Coach Traylor.

    • A humorous yet candid take on why facing Army’s football team is such a challenge (“it’s like playing keep away,” and “refs never throw flags against the military!”).

• Life After Football

  • Frank Harris shares his newfound passion for golf—a perfect weekend for him now means a relaxing round with friends, music, and good vibes.

  • Encourages skeptics to give golf a chance (just watch out for Sean trying to hustle you out of some money on the course!).
