On Sports Spectrum Saturday we talk about the pressure of playing September baseball with a World Series winner from last season, relief pitcher, Brad Lidge of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Sports Spectrum chaplain Bill Crowder talks about the bond of friendship in sports, even among coaching rivals.

And, it is a U.S. Open weekend in tennis. We get an eternal perspective on how fleeting fame can be from longtime tennis pro, David Wheaton.

As an athlete, it is one thing to get cut from a team. But what happens when the whole league goes away? Bill Houston talks with former Arena Football League player Ahmad Hawkins, formerly of the Grand Rapids Rampage.

Finally, it is the opening weekend of college football and we talk about the teams with longtime Big 12 and PAC 10 television broadcaster, Ron Thulin. We take your phone calls for Ron as well—we’d like to know the game you will be following and why.
