  Speaker 1: getting up to leave Raleigh for South ben I had
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: three days, three times in a four day span where
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I had a three am wake up call to get
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: out by four at the latest. In the case of
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: leaving South Bend on Friday morning, I actually left for
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the airport about three forty in the morning. But anyway,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: flipped South Bend, did the game, snow everywhere and all
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: other kind of stuff.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: It was messy.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I wasn't quite ready for snow, it wasn't dressed for
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: didn't have the winter clothing. Tight, hard fought game, Texas losing,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Texas Women losing in overtime to Notre Dame and the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Women's SEC A SC Challenge. They lost eighty seventy in overtime.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: And then, like I said, at a six am flight
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: on Friday morning into Atlanta, and there were various and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: sundry issues, mainly with a hotel and getting checked in
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and other things like that.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: But we got all that out of the way, and.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Then Saturday it was the SEC Championship game, as we know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and going over time in Texas Falls. We got back
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to the hotel Saturday night to fly back Sunday morning. Meanwhile,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Cameron was traveling with the women on Saturday. Now, did
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you have a do you have issues on the outbound
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: or just on the return with the women from Harrisonburg,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Virginia because of yesterday afternoon's game with James Madison.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Just on their return.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, everything went smoothly on the way up.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: On the way up as fine. You know, there's some
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: you know, it's reigning here in Austin. We went up
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: and got in. Now, we did have one of our
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: tires blow out on the charter bus in Harrisonburg yesterday
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: on the way the morning shoot around, and thankfully James
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Manson University helped us out and got us to the universe,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: to the arena and back and forth and outbound there
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: was a ground stoppage, of course, and we were delayed
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: about thirty minutes, forty minutes.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I think we got back in about ten pm last night.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: So okay, all right, but that's than three Aye, yes
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: it is, yes, it is. And then the women looke good.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Yesterday I blew out James Madison. They did Maddy Booker
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: twenty one points, Roy Harmon nineteen now over one thousand
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: career points. In Jordan lay with twenty points. I think
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: her it was her career high just a freshman, but
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: also knocked down six three pointers in her career high
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: at that point for three pointers made in the game
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: was just two against Lamar, So she had a coming
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: out party. And you know, the freshmen did not play
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: too much against Underdaine. I think, you know, Fix Shaeffer
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: kind of said, I got to get the freshman more
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: minutes and that included Breonna Preston and Jordan Lee and
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Justice Carleton and Jordan Lee had a fantastic game. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: you know Maddy Booker, I think she had seventeen points
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: in the first half and James Madison just could not
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: defend the guard played from Texas. So a good bounce
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: back victory after that tough overtime loss. The number ten
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Next action for the women comes Wednesday night at home
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: against Southern It's their first home game since.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: That's been a bit.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: I think it's been a month, that's what coach said.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Carter was telling us, Yeah that it's been it's been
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: about a month. Because that's a game on November thirteenth.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: They've been gone for five straight games. It looks like
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: they're their last home game. Let's see, because they Thanksgiving
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: week they were gone. So Charlton stated, oh the kids
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: game Kids not exactly a month, yeah, but close to
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: that was the twentieth they play on with the fifteenth, eleventh, eleventh,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: so about three four weeks.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they've been living out of a suitcase pretty much.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I know that feeling. I'm tired of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: packing and unpacking that heavy fold over rolling garment bag
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that I was having a toted around of Raleigh, in
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: South Bend, in Atlanta, and then back home. I did
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a quick change in the manor garage yesterday.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Of close.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: That's nice, that was fun. Yeah, you didn't want to
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: do it inside the Moody.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to drag that bag in there, so
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I just I just kind of between a couple of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: parts cars, you know, threw on a shirt and yeah, yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: changed my pants too, changed trousers, pulled out the jeans.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: But I was pretty well tucked away. You would have
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: had to have been looking for me to see me
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: standing in my box for short. Yeah, yesterday, it was
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: just it was a real quick thing. It was in
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the shadow of my door and everything, and just put
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it once we've all been there, we had to do
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a quick change and all that. So there was all
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: of that, So all of the things that happened. There
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Now one other personal note just to because I've already
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: been asked about it many times already, like Facebook, Messenger
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and then some Facebook things and even a couple of
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: emails and some text people wanting to know how the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Texas Clemson playoff game effects my availability for the UIL
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: High School State football Championship telecast that I work annually.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Well, it definitely affects it. Obviously.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: The Texas Clemson game is on Saturday, December twenty. First,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that's the same day as State Championship Saturday the l
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: in At and T Stadium. But as we also know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it's state championship week, it's not just about the three
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: games are on Saturday, because there's nine other games that happened.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: So I will be up there and I will be
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: calling games. I just won't be there Saturday. And he said,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we'll wait a minute, and then when the two six
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: A games are yes, and it will be the first
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: time that I will not have called a six A
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: state championship game for television in fourteen years. The last
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: time I didn't call a six A game was twenty
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: ten because there was a Texas Michigan State men's basketball
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: gave a huge Top ten matchup with who'ser man from
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Michigan State for Golden State Public Enemy number one. Draymond
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Green was playing for Michigan State that day and Texas
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: dominated him, dominated him.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: That game and long Orench won that game.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: But I had to do that game, so I missed
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the six a's that that's the last time I missed
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: calling the six A state championship games. But I am
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: calling half of the games. I will be there next week.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I'm calling both six man state championship games. And they've
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: already determined the finalists for those. By the way, those uh,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: those six man state championship game, they've already they've already
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: determined the finalists for those, and and I was trying
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to pull that up here so I can tell you
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: there's only there's really there's only one returning state champion
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in the in.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: The six man classification.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: That's Gordon, the Gordon Longhorns in one A Division one,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and they're going to be facing white Face, Wow, white Face,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the Anelopes from the Panhandle, and then the and then
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the Division two bracket Jaydon is favored substantially over Oakwood.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Oakwood is a huge surprise. They haven't been playing six
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: man that long. They used to be an eleven man program.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: In fact, the last time Oakwood was in a state
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: championship game, I called it on radios a one to
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: A back then what would now be two A state
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: championship game against Memphis from the Panana back in nineteen
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: ninety one. Folks around here high school football fans may
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: remember Matt Montzingo. He was the coach for several years
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: at Connolly, then he went down to Canyon Lake. He
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: was the coach of that Memphis team and they won
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the state title. They beat Oakwood. But anyway, I'm doing
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: both of those six man games, and then that night
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: calling the two A Division two game, which will match
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the winners of this week's semi finals Groover against Munster
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and Brimond against Shiner. So I'm doing those two games
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Thursday Thursday night. I'm gonna do the three A Division
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: one state championship game Wednesday night, Thursday night, three Division
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: one state championship and it should be a doozy. I
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: think it's probably gonna be Malakoff and Columbus the number
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: one and number two teams in the state, but Malakoff
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: has to be Paradise and Columbus has to knock off Edna,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: So we'll see. That's Thursday and then Friday have two
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: games for A Division one could be the big Cinderella
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Canyon West Plains and pulled the shocker last week beating Stephenville.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: They're playing Salaion and Slide is number one in the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: state and I think they'll win that game. And then
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the other game is Kilgore against Lavernia, who had knocked
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: off LBJ in the playoffs and they're still playing, but
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I think it'll be Sliona and Kilgore in the four
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: A Division one. Then I'm doing the five A Division
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: two Friday night, the winner of Argyle and Dallas South Oakcliff.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: They play this week Sock, trying to make it to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: its fourth consecutive state title game.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: They won two in a row and then lost to
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Fort and Aachis Guards.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: They got the revenge last week they obliterated PNG in
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the quarterfinals. So our Guyle plays Sock. The winner that
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: gets winner of Richmond, Randall and Bernie for the five
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: A Division two. So I'll be doing those games six
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of I I will not have any of the six a's.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I am doing six A game this Saturday afternoon on
