Finally, professional women's basketball corner on It Happened One Year! Only hinted at before, the listeners are finally exposed to the full mania Sarah & Joe experience in recent years, by way of the hometown Chicago Sky and their super dramatic off-season. This is all a conduit to head back and take a look at the fourth season in the league's history in 2000, with such defunct teams as the Houston Comets, the Utah Starzz, and the Charlotte Sting, and the stars of yesteryear like Sheryl Swoops and Tina Thompson! We all learn some deep-buried lore around the WNBA, why it took so long to reach the current pinnacle of its popularity, what became of the numerous early franchises that disappeared, who the upcoming expansion teams will be, and some basic speculation about what kind of season the Sky should have here in the South Loop. 

Is the New York Liberty's championship window still open heading into 2026? Gotta Get Up tackles the team's future as the WNBA's new CBA rewrites the rules of engagement. Hosts Erica L. Ayala and Brian Florentin break down the potential impacts of increased max salaries, the introduction of developmental roster spots, and vital changes for player movement—including trade protection clauses for pregnant players. They weigh in on the franchise's strategies with Brianna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, Sabrina Ionescu, Banijah Laney Hamilton, and Natasha Cloud all in the free agency and expansion draft mix.Reactions to a fast and furious off-season, a Final Four recap, and the looming arrival of new expansion teams—like the revived Houston Comets—keep the stakes high. Can Chris DeMarco steer the Liberty through roster shake-ups and a longer season? The show examines what the Liberty must do to remain true contenders as they chase glory in the WNBA's milestone 30th season.

This week, hosts Cathryn & Freddie recap their bracket challenge, and preview the final four from the lens of who will win in the group. Then, the Connecticut Sun is sold to Houston, and the Houston Comets are back. What does this mean for fans in both cities and for the legacy of the WNBA overall? Then, in our FFQ (Freddie's Fun Question), they ask what investments we have made that paid off. Follow Us:@thepickupwnbapod@itsme_cathryn@freddierivas / @freddienoelrivas Hosted on Acast.

What happens when one of the most respected minds in women's basketball returns home to build something historic? You get the incredible story of Coach Damitria “Coach D” Buchanan — a proud Houston native, visionary recruiter, and leader on a mission to bring the H-Town heat back to the hardwood.From her roots in Houston's basketball culture to her rise as one of the sharpest assistants in the college game, Coach D's story is built on faith, fire, and fearlessness. Now, after 14 years of coaching success, she's back where it all started — ready to lead the University of Houston Women's Basketball program into a new era in the Big 12.Growing up during the days of the Houston Comets and Rockets dynasties, Coach D's path to basketball wasn't typical. She was a musician first — until seventh grade, when a basketball and a spark of curiosity changed everything.At 6'3”, she became a defensive powerhouse in Texas AAU basketball, eventually earning a scholarship to Texas A&M, where she helped lay the foundation for the Aggies' championship culture. Though she graduated a year before the team's 2011 NCAA title, her fingerprints are all over that winning legacy.Coach D's coaching résumé is a masterclass in grit. From Stephen F. Austin to Auburn, and now back home in Houston, she's built programs that reflect her signature — energy, empathy, and excellence.“Basketball has taught me resilience,” she says. “You don't get everything right the first time, but you grow through every challenge.”Her coaching philosophy centers on relationships — creating space for players to be competitive and confident, tough and authentic.With Houston's move to the Big 12, the competition is fierce — but so is the opportunity. Coach D knows the city's overflowing talent pool could make the Cougars unstoppable.“If we can get Houston kids to stay home, we'll be dangerous. We've got the resources, the facilities, and the family atmosphere to compete with anybody.”From the Jordan Brand partnership to a deep community connection, Houston is more than a basketball program — it's a movement. And Coach D is leading the charge to make H-Town hoops electric again.Away from the sidelines, Coach D is every bit as authentic. She's passionate about mentoring young women, championing diversity in sports, and representing her city with pride. She wants the world to know that Houston basketball — and HBCU-bred excellence — belongs on the national stage.Her message to the city: “There are 4 million people here. If we can get 10,000 of them in the building, we can change the game.”Coach D isn't just coaching for wins — she's building a legacy. Her goal: turn the University of Houston into a perennial powerhouse and create opportunities for the next generation of women who love the game.

Today on The Ride we take a look at the history of the WNBA and the founding players who helped shape the league into what it is today. The league was founded i n 1996 and began play in 1997 as the women's professional basketball league in the United States. In this episode we will look at the growth of the league over the years with teams relocating and rebranding. We will also look at the challenges the league faced such as competition for viewership, financial hurdles, and establishing a strong fanbase. Also we take a look at some of the players that help laid the groundwork for the league such as: Sheryl Swoops: often called female "Michael Jordan."

These players, among others helped establish credibility, inspire young athletes, and attract fans to the league. Their performance, leadership, and advocacy have been crucial in elevating the WNBA's profile.

On Tuesday's show: So close…and yet so far. The Houston Cougars fell two points short of a men's college basketball national championship Monday night, falling 65-63 to the Florida Gators.In a near-reversal of Saturday's come-from-behind win in their Final Four matchup against Duke, this time it was the Coogs who led most of the way. They built a 12-point second-half lead only to see the Gators charge back to take a last-minute lead and hang on.Kris Gardner of Houston Roundball Review recaps the game for us. And Houston Public Media's Mark Norris describes the atmosphere as University of Houston fans descended on the Alamodome. Among the fans in attendance was sportscaster and UH alum Jim Nantz. We revisit our 2023 conversation with him about how his alma mater shaped his career.Then, to keep the basketball theme going, we hear from Cynthia Cooper, retired star of the WNBA's now-defunct Houston Comets and herself a former college basketball coach.Plus, we talk with attendees of a recent conference dedicated to helping women start and further their careers in STEM industries.Also, Houston Youth Poet Laureate Lucas Fang shares a poem about his mother's experience as a Vietnamese refugee.And we hear from political activist Nadya Tolokonnikova, the creator of Pussy Riot, the feminist protest and art movement, who's speaking at an event at the University of Houston on April 17.

In this episode, we welcome Michael Reynolds, the General Manager of the Lancaster Stormers, who has led the team since 2016. Michael's extensive career in sports management includes roles as Team President for the Reno Bighorns, Director of Sales for Madison Square Garden, and the Houston Comets, as well as starting his journey with the Connecticut Sun of the WNBA. Under his leadership, the Lancaster Stormers have won two Atlantic League Championships, and the stadium has earned the title of “Best MLB Partner League Stadium” three times. Michael was also honored with the “Jon Klein Executive of the Year” award in both 2019 and 2023. Beyond ticket sales and business success, Michael is deeply passionate about creating lasting memories for fans and fostering community inclusivity. The stadium has become a hub for over 320 events each year. Outside of his professional accomplishments, Michael enjoys spending time coaching his children's sports teams and cherishing life at home with his wife, Nicole, their four children, and their two dogs.

Remember the days when clubbing was all about letting loose and dancing the night away? We do, and we miss it! The club scene has drastically changed, transforming from lively dance floors into spaces filled with couches and sections. The real human interaction we used to enjoy has been replaced by technology, and we're not fans of it. Join us as we look back nostalgically at the golden times of clubbing and express our longing for the days when you could actually find your girl in a club or church.Furthermore, our old-fashioned love for dance floors leads us to a broader conversation about the impact of social media and online platforms on human interaction and dating. How have these digital platforms altered our behavior and expectations? Let's take a moment to ponder on the responsibility that comes with having a platform, especially when expressing opinions without causing offense. Does anyone remember the times when college football was more about the game and less about the politics? We do too. Finally, we shift our focus to music, specifically Drake's new album 'For all the Dogs' Are we the only ones who think he's not quite up there with J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar? We invite you to join us as we dissect his music and ponder on what his potential collaborations could mean for his career. So get comfortable, tune in, and let's indulge in a bit of nostalgia together.

#aaronjudge hit his first walk off HR last night and @yankees swept the @bluejays this afternoon 5-3 with #gleybertorres knocking in all 5 runs.  Yanks have won 17 of 20 and are now 22-8.  Judge turned down a $200M+ extension before the season started.  Leads @mlb with 10 HR's. @mets beat @nationals last night and are 21-10.  2nd no-hitter of the year by @angels rookie #reiddetmers last night. Hope #kimmulkey son #kramerrobertson gets a real shot with the @cardinals this season. RIP #boblanier @brooklynnets don't give #kyrieirving an extension.  #nbaplayoffs #jamorant could be done with knee bruise and it wasn't caused by #jordanpoole @sixers blown out by #jimmybutler and heat last night. Same for @dallasmavs by #devinbooker and @suns Would love to have Mike Evans as an WNBA owner and bring back one of their original franchises, the Houston Comets.  Tonight could be the end for the @nyrangers at MSG to the @penguins #archmanning down to @alabamafbl @georgiafootball @texasfootball I know where @partylikearochkind wants him to go.  Former @jaguars kicker #joshlambo is suing the team and former coach #urbanmeyer and I was thinking they could settle it like on the most recent episode of @bettercallsaulamc in the ring.  #gymnasticscanada is being sued by a former gymnast #ameliacline in a class-action lawsuit.  The abuse she suffered mentally and physically caused her to leave the sport in 2003.
