  Speaker 2: My name is Craig Way. Thank you much, very much
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: for joining us.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: The producer is Jay Herman, and we've got several things
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: coming up on the program. First and foremost here in
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a few minutes, working continue our SEC football previews, we
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: were visiting with every single play by play voice in
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the Southeastern Conference. It started week before last, went Monday
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: through Friday, then all of last week and this week.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: We have five remaining Ole Miss Alabama, Auburn, Oklahoma, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Texas A and M. And the play by play voices
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of those five schools will be joining us this week.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Today it'll be David Kellam, the play by play voice
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of the Old Miss Rebels. He'll join us coming up
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: here in a few minutes, and we're going to give
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: away three more copies of Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: We do that each hour of the program week before, last,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: last week, and this week, so three copies one per
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: hour throughout the course of this final week of those giveaways.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: But before we get to those.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Things, there's two topics we need to get to there.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: There's we're going to get to the AP pole which
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: has come out and just so you'll know, SPI Texas
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: number five in the AP Pole, and we're to get
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to that. But over the weekend, the Dallas Cowboys won
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a preseason game. Yes I know, preseason, but they won
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: their preseason opener and Scotty Scheffler back in the win
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: column for the first time since January and won it
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: going away, won by eight shots, hammering the field there
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: at the FedEx Saint Jude Classic there, so he's on
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you might say, the home stretch of winning another FedEx Cup.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So when it comes to the Cowboys, when it comes
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to Scotty Scheffler or the PGA tour as a whole.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: We have to ask Cameron Parker to join the program
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: just for a moment. Let me start with the Cowboys.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Did you last year have you lifted your boycott of
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: not watching the Dallas Cowboys.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Was that just one year suspension that you did? No?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: No.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: I think the deal was Craig, that I would not
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: watch the Cowboys full game in my fandom would not
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: resume until they made the conference championship game.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I think that was the deal.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But there's a difference between fandom and than just
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: watching them.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I consider it the same thing, really.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, even as even as a as a displaced person
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: with suspended fan support that it also includes even watching
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: them on television.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I think there may be a game last year late
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: in the season, Washington game Washington that was crazy back
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: and forth that I did watch, and that was more
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: for you know, entertainment purposes. But I think they open
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: the season what New York right Thursday. I will not
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: be on a Sunday night. Sunday night, I will not
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: be watching No Offense to Mike tree Kill and Chris Collinsworth.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I will not be watching. Okay, So if you ask
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: me Monday morning to come in top of the Cowboys, Craig,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I I'll have nothing for you.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I have nothing. Yeah, but you're following online, you're reading
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I am bruising Twitter. I am bruising Twitter.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: And of course we do carry the Cowboys right here
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: on ninety eight one kvet. So you know I am
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: listening to Brad and Babe making sure we're on the air.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Course.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, you know I love their broadcast team, but watching it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: The whole reasoning for this was because, you know, every
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: year as a Cowboys fan, you know it feels like
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: this time right now training camp. You know, Jerry's doing
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: his press conferences. Every Cowboys reporter is, you know, live
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: tweeting every single touchdown thrown by Dak Prescott, every catch
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: from CD Lamb, all the great types of plays. All
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, you buy yourself in and then you
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: spend five hours every Sunday devoted to this team, thinking
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: that maybe they'll get over the hump, Craig. And then
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: you get to the first round of the playoffs and
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: you get smacked by Green Bay or Los Angeles or
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: San Francisco, and it's like I just wasted eighteen nineteen
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: weeks devoted to this Cowboys team that has the same
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: problems every year, and Jerry Jones refuses to acknowledge that. Now,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: I'll give you this after having what the worst defense
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: in modern NFL history. Yeah, the Christian Parker, which I
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: think came from from Brian Schottenheimer. And by the way,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: I think Jerry kind of lucked into Schottenheimer because you
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: wanted McCarthy to come back, and I think McCarthy was,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: you know what, I'm out of the circus and kind
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: of lucked in the Schottenheimer, who I think is going
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: to make a great head coach. And I think the
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Christian Parker hire so far seems to be solid. But
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: of course we haven't played any meaningful football yet. So
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: that's the reason why Craig was just I was just
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: tired of devoting so much time on my Sundays to
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: this Cowboys seem to kept letting me down. So if
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: you want to call me fake fan, that's fine. I
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: consider myself apathetic. But we also talked about this too
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: that I think you've asked me before. The Cowboys won
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: a Super Bowl, which you feel fulfilled, and I told you,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I don't think I could even enjoy it because of
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: how frustrated.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: It's spent as a Cowboys fan in just my lifetime.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I understand it. And I was like that for
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a long time as a Rams fan until I finally won,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and then you know, and then they had a bleak
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: period for a long time, and then of late obviously
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: there has been good in terms of getting the pieces
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: in place, and Sean McVay is a really good coach.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: So it's a lot easier to be a fan in
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: happier times. I will grant you that. Okay, PGA Tour
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Scotty Scheffler looked like the Scotty He was so.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Dominant last year and for folks, she said, boy he
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: had down here.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: He's only one one time had five second place finishes,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: what three in a row, which was a PGA Tour record.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: There was no second place finish yesterday. He blew away
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the field, a good field that had some contenders and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: he blew us. So I think Trevor immermm was asked
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: could he be dominant the rest of the way, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: he said absolutely. When he says some of the things
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: he's saying, and he's doing hitting shots the way he's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: The thing I noticed is he's hitting Fairway shots a
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: lot better than he was earlier.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly obviously putting You're exactly right, Craig.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: His iron play has gotten better than it was mill
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: of season and this putting was lights out yesterday. It
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: felt like anything from ten to fifteen feet, whether it
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: was for Birdie Parr, he was going to make it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I think he's to run away with this. You know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: he struggled a little bit at Atlanta at the Tour Championship.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I don't think that course really fits his game that well.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Bell Reeve next week, which is or this week, which
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: is where the PJ was at in what twenty I
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: was it eighteen when Bruce Kepta won uh held off
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: tiger Woods.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: That course sets up very well for Sky.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: So I think he wins this week, and I think
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: he wins the Tour Championship as well, and that would
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: be as what second FedEx Cup, third FedEx Cup Championship?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Not sure back to back? Right? Did he win it
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: last year? I don't think so. Did he win it
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: last year? I don't remember.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: You think it's you know again, it's like, does anybody
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: really care about the Tour Championship? He doesn't care. Roy
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: McRoy eight over par for the tournament. I don't think
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: he knew he was even playing in it, you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: he was, he still faded from his weekend in Abiza
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: a week ago.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And I feel bad for Jordan Speed, who opened with
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: a sixty five and he looked like he might get
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: inside that cup line of fifty to get to go
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to Saint Louis and what fifty second.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I think he was just a couple of spots out
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was, he needed to get the seven under par,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: and just just too many costly mistakes, and that's kind of,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: you know, summed up Spef's last couple of season is
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: where he'll have it for brief stretches, and he still
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: has that terrible hole. I mean, he hit it in
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: the water at least once yesterday, hit hit his t
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: shot and a part three under the bridge ended up
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: making bogie from there. Just little mistakes that over the
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: course of a season really add up to what's been
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the kind of a microcosm of Space's career lately. Coming
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: up just Shy Pierson Coody two, who I think he's
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: been dealing with some he I don't think he's one
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: hundred percent healthy right now. A few spots shy, but yeah,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Scotty's in line for I think running away with the
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: with the FedEx Cup season.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Fleetwood last year.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: That's right, Scotty either in I think Hovelin May won
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: it in twenty four to twenty three, and then Scotty
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: won it one of those other years.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we may only have it one ones, right,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Jake check on that? Okays one?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: And and you mentioned Belle Reeve, Gary player won his
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: one US Open nineteen sixty five at bell Okay, Uh,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: it's it's one of those historic golf courses.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: But you say it sets up well for Yeah, it
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: does just the ones. Yeah, I think it's twice. Yeah,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: if it sets up well for him. And honestly, not
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: many courses you know, don't set up off for Scotty.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And I think now.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Out of the out of the current PJ Tour stops
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: and this may change, you know, once they swapped to
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: the tour the two tour level in two years. I
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: think Scotty's only has not won only I think five
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: or six courses currently on the tour.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I mean think about that, correct.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: I mean it reminds me of like a NASCAR when
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: at one point Jeff Gordon had won I think at
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: every single track except for Kentucky, and Kentucky had just
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: come on to the scene. It's like that, that's crazy
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: to think about that he's had success at every single
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: every single track. And the same thing for Scotty is
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: a lot of golfers, well, they set up well on
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Pola Greens, but you know Bermuda, they struggle or vice
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: first or you know, they're better at this part of
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: the country versus that. For Scotty, doesn't matter where it's at.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Put him on the course, give him a golf always
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: going to find a way to win. And in the
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: courses he hasn't won at like Houston, He's finished runner
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: up at Charles Swap pretty sure, he's been a runner
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: up there.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: So I don't even think he's played at Greensboro. Has he?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: I don't think so either, because it's always been the
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: week before and he's already usually number one or number
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: between the FedEx Cups, So he hasn't played there yet,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: and I think he would do well there. That course
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: sets up well for him. But again you know the sounding,
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: you know, repetitive. Every course seemed to set up well
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: for Scotty chefferin all right, quick final question, where do
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: the Cowboys play this week?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I do not know that's true.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I was checking your lack of fan not know they
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: play the Arizona Cardinal Saturday night, nine o'clock if you
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: want to what?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think I'm gonna skip there.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Mark Henry of course the morning kickoff now at six am,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: was talking about Joe Milton, and that's when I thought,
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: maybe it's time for me to go back to bed.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna win the division this year. You're
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: out before it starts.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm in Okay, you're completely out in Philadelphia.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm not completely yet. I just think it'll
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: be closed and maybe Dallas gets them by a game.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: How the roles of think about it's changed, Craig. You
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: give a producer who now thinks they're going to win
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: the division, and for me, I just refuse to watch
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: the Cowboy Jason Commanders sort of say all the while
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: was a commander's face.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Commander's commander.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Season's over, so lright, that's Cameron Parker up next. We'll
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: continue our SEC previews, will visit with David Kellum play
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: by play voice of the Old Miss Rebels.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I'm thirteen under the zone.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Why not on a Monday roll back with a well
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the real banger, Mississippi Queen. It's perfect because it goes
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: right into our SEC football previews.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: We've continued.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: We started it a week before, laugh went all the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: way through and then last week and this is the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: final week. And we've been really blessed and privileged to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: be joined by the play by play voices of each
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: of the Southeastern Conference schools, and that includes our next guest,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: one of you might say, one of the most decorated
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and senior members of our crew. It's the good Man
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: that is David Kellen, play by play voice of the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: old Miss Rebels, who we have to start off with
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: by wishing a happy anniversary. I was told that you
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and your wonderful bride Mary have been married how many years?
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: DK, A bunch man A forty six years? That was
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: a very appropriate psalm, Miss Hippy Queen.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: By the way, Yes, I had it all.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, forty six years.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Were high school sweethearts, so we've known each other for
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: a lot longer than that.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: And she's gone.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: I tell everybody she's my better four fifths h and
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: I just advise you, if you've been married that long,
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: you need to, you know, change that from better half
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: to a better percentage towards your wife, that's for sure.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: But yeah, we've been together a long time.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: That is great.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: And I got a chance to meet her during baseball
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and she's a wonderful lady as well, So that is
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: that's that's tremendous, and congratulations on that.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: When we go into the off season.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Or as we prepared to emerge from a college football
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: off season and get ready for a brand new school,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: how many years has this been for you?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Now you've been at it a bit there.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this will be my thirty ninth year for football,
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: which is kind of crazy. I started Craig right out
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: of high school when I was a freshman old Miss
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: Colling baseball, So I was eighteen years old.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I keep telling me I started was eighteen's. Everybody thinks
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I'm ninety.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Something, but I'm getting on up there, long in the
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: tooth at sixty seven.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: But you know, it's really weird in our league.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: Years ago, you had John Ward at Tennessee, you know,
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: Munson was at Georgia. On and on it went, just
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: these incredible announcers. Crystal was at State when I came
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: Amen and Wes Durham, who now calls for Fox, was
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: at Vanderbilt at the time. We were in this meeting
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: with all these guys, and he looked over to me
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: and he said, are you intimidated?
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I said, yeah, big time.
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: And of course you know, Wes is dad's legendary announcer
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: too at North Carolina in Woody Durham.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: But now I'm that guy. So it's kind of weird,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: to say the least.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: But I still feel very young at heart, and I've
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: just seen some incredible things throughout the years, not only
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: in the SEC, but some of the teams we played
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: outside of the league as well. But I've done football, basketball,
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: and baseball in some form of fashion, women's hoops since
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: nineteen seventy eight basically, and I gave up men's basketball
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: this past year. The overlap kind of got big on us,
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: and we were very fortunate to have Gary Darby in
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: our area, who I hired and worked.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: With for years.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: He'd moved back in here and instead of filling in
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: for me, we decided to let him to do.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Hoops, and so he's doing hoops now.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: So I've slowed down a tad, but really excited about
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: the upcoming season. Get things rolling again. I'm not working
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: as much as you. I mean, were you ever at home?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: When do you go home?
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Summertimes, they're a little slower, gets a little busier once
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: we ramp up, you know, but once we get on
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: into September.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I totally agree with you on that.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: And by the way, having grown up in North Carolina,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I grew up idolizing Woody Durham. He was, Yeah, he
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: was wonderful. And I told him that when I met
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: him years later. I think when Texas was playing North Carolina,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: like I think it was a year they won the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: national title, ninety three, ninety two, ninety three season, and
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I told him in Charlotte and he goes, you really
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: need to set your sights a little higher, you know
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: that sort of thing.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: So what a great guy. And when he.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Retired, Wes Wes called me and he said, hey, look,
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: I know this is a weird request, but dad and
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: mom want to come to the grove.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I said, really, And he made a great point.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: I'd never called a game from North Carolina, which is
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: weird you would think across the league. But I'd never
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: called a game well, would he never called him from
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: Old Miss, and of course he goes back further than me.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: And so we had this team doctors in North Carolina
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: grad and he set him up in a cabin. We
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: put him on a pregame show and before he passed away,
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: and his wonderful wife came down to Oxford and just
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: did the Grove routine and it was part of our
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: pregame show. It was such an honor and privilege for
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: us to get to see him in that capacity after
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: he had retired from North Carolina.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. That is awesome, all right.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: So David Callum's running US play by play voice of
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the Old Miss Rebels. Let me start with what I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: think had to be one of the most dynamic and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I will add the word unusual seasons in college football.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Last year Old Miss winning thirteen ball games, getting to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the Final four, and losing its head coach. As we
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: all know during the course of this end, I thought
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Pete Golden did a fabulous job of shepherding things through.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: And now he gets ready to take it on in
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: his first full season. I'm not sure your overview of
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: how that all went down the stretch as you get
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: ready to lead in the twenty twenty six.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Well, it was wild and a combination of things. I mean,
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: my relationship with Lane was very, very good, and I'd say,
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: you know, pretty decent now too. He's he was a
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: fantastic coach for US, brilliant offensive mind. And you know,
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: regardless if you want to blame it on the scheduling
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: or you know, leaving for what he thinks is a
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: better situation, the bottom line was leaving a playoff team
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: kind of threw me for a loop. I thought that
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: was kind of strange, but nonetheless it worked out great.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Pete did a fantastic job.
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: There's always been the debate if if Lane had been
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: able to coach through and that's just not going to happen.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: That would be you know, for those fans out there
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: that are A and M and Texas fans, you know
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: that you're not going to let the A and M.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Future coach finish out the seasons, you know that kind
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: of thing.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, uh, and so the rivalry just that was not
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: going to be allowed. And I thought, I'm like you,
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Pete at a fantastic job. Beat Georgia played Georgia straight
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: up in the Sugar Bowl. I'm not so sure Lane
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: would have done that. Lane they have you know, had
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: a different style and struggled with that game. Who knows
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: how that would have come out. But to get to
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: it's basically a play away from making it to the
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: national championship with all of that turmoil going on, was
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: really really cool. But we were very, very talented. They
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: had a fantastic team and a lot of those key
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: pieces are going to be back.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Forth this year. Oh and started quarterback.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Let me start with Trinidad because uh, not only was
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: he fabulous last year, but then to to understand the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: legal battle that was they had and went through and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: charged for it and got that extra year of eligibility.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: That's had to be a big relief.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Not only for coach Colding, but really for Old Miss
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Nation overall to see their leader, their quarterback is going
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to be a senior and clearly a Heisman Trophy candidate
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: as well. Taking the snaps. Yeah, it's a it's a
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: weird world.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: You gotta love, you know, the sports world where we
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: came He came in here last year. Craig and Harry Harrison,
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: our color commentator on the network. Now, so let's go
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: over to the offense. We would practice. So let's go
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: on to the offensive side and and see about this
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: backup quarterback. You know, something should happen to Austin Simmons,
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: would he be capable of running the show? And we
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: go over there and watch him, and he makes a
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: great sideline outpass and breaks and runs for a little bit,
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: hits a deep ball and we both said, yeah, he'll
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: be okay, Okay, Well, Simmons does get hurt. He ends
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: up having an unbelievable year, and so he's making a
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: whole lot more money this time around than he did
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: at the beginning of last season. But he's a great kid,
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: wonderful you know, individual, in addition to being a tremendous talent.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: So we're very fortunate to have him back.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: And we got Lacey back in the backfield with him too,
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: So that's going to be really cool, one two punch
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: to have back in the offense.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to ask you about Lacey and
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the fact, I mean, he's obviously the bell Cowvin it
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: comes to run in the football for them, and really
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and truly I think also having some veterans back on
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: your offensive line certainly helps as well.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: The then, right, we got the three interior guys.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Back.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: Teres Davis will be at left tackle for US, and
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: he had pretty much won the position, or at least
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: was gonna be in the mix going into the last
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: season transferred from Maryland, but he got hurt in the
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: very last scrimmage before we started the season, so he
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: missed the year, basically didn't get to play a lot.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: And he's back and we'll be at left tackle. It's
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: still kind of working on the right tackle thing. But
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: I think, you know, without getting too much coach speak
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: and throwing a bunch of names at you, defensive line,
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: we're gonna have more depth. We've improved in the linebacker
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: corps a good bit. Defensive backfield also picked up some
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: extra pieces there. And on the offensive side, you know,
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: totally new receiving room kind of with some really good
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: talent there as well. And just having watched some practice,
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: I think we're gonna be fine, but you know, it's
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: really weird, Gray. I think this team is gonna be
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: better in a lot of ways, but the schedule's tougher too,
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: and you know, you know this league, you can't just
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: start checking off wins, so it's interesting. It could be
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: a better team than the one last year. But the
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: schedule is gonna make it a difficult run. But who
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: knows who's gonna merge out of the league. But I
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: do feel good about the position we're.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: In going in. Yeah, And I would say also, it
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: looks like the back seven for you for your defense
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: with all that veteran leadership returning, could make a real
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: big difference.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Right, No doubt.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: Echols in the middle is where you start, and he's
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: just a fantastic player. I think he'd potentially be a
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: first round pick coming out of this season. And you know,
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: you know how it is you get if you got
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: the depth and the pressure on the defensive front, boy,
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: that solves a lot of problems and really takes some
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: heat off of your linebackers and your defensive backs.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: And so we had a really really good rotation there.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: Two years ago in twenty four, we were running about
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: nine defensive linemen at Old Miss.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: We've never been able to do that.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: That's one of the things that portal has helped our
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: program get better, as you're able to get the depth
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: that you need. And then last year we didn't have
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: quite as much, and so we'd.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Faded a little bit late.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: But Nonetheless, I think we're back to having a good
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: rotation about eight or nine defensive lineman.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: David Kellen, play by play voice of the Ole Miss Rebels,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: joined us here for a couple more minute. I've asked
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: every guy with whom we visit in this league about
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: the nine game conference schedule. In the case of Old Miss,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I think it's rather intriguing because you know, in the past,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: we've been able to say, Okay, there's like three games
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: before you got conference playing. Then you'd have the late
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: season game and you have the late season non conference
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: game against Watford, but there'd be three weeks to warm up.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Now it's only two weeks to warm up because of
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the ninth conference game and the first run out of
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the gate that Sunday game a Labor Day weekend against Louisville.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: It looks like the Rebels we have to hit the
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: ground running on this. Yeah, no doubt.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: I was looking at the top twenty five this morning, Craig,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: and we're playing like six of the top twenty five teams,
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: including Louisville. It's like twenty fourth in the nation. So
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: it's a former little schedule to say the least. But
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: my thoughts about the nine From a fan standpoint, you know,
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: I think you'd rather see an SEC matchup another one
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: as opposed to maybe some of the cupcake matchups that
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: you might get. I get the coaches point two, though,
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: I think if the playoff had been expanded this time
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: around a little bit, we wouldn't even be having the
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: conversation because you feel comfortable that, you know, a nine
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: and three SEC team probably would get into an expanded playoff.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: But it's gonna be interesting at the end of the
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: year to.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: See because we may have several in our league that
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: could be nine and three. Well how does that compare
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: to an eleven one from somewhere else or ten and
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: two from some other conference.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna be interesting to see.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: But I think just going to the game, you know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: I kind of like the journey. If you're going to
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: games this year, you get an extra SEC game to
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: go see. For those of us that are hosting five games,
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: I think that's going to be cool too.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mentioned this.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I was on a show with some folks in Arkansas
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: this morning and they asked me about it, and I said,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and I think somebody made this comment last week as well.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: That was on this show, one of the play by
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: play guys.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: That fans and even the media probably really enjoy the
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: thought of that ninth game. And like you said, I
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: can understand where the coaches come down on this, and
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I think the key on this thing is you just
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: kind of alluded to, is I think folks would rather
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: see if it was a Vanderbilt or a Mississippi State
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: or a Missouri whatever as an extra opponent on the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: schedule than playing someone. To borrow the phrase from our
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: women's basketball coach here in Austin, Vick SHAEF three named
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Directional State University, you know that kind of thing.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: So it.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Really does, I think, add more value for the fan
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: who's buying the ticket. Whether you have a high profile
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: non conference game at home or not in a given year,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you know you've got a quality opponent coming in in that.
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: Place, right exactly. And I see both sides of it,
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: but I kind of lean towards the fan side. I
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: think the you know, the difference of having five home
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: games four home games is not.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: A cool thing, for sure.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: You know, we're fortunate we got to come to Texas
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: and Oklahoma again where we won last year. But you
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: can't guarantee that to happen again by any means. So
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: we've got some really difficult games to deal with. But
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: those that have got to go out on the road
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: five times in the league, that makes it a little
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: bit more difficult, obviously, But I still think that it'll
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: be fun to have that extra SEC game in some
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: former or fashion.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: No doubt about it.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: He's David Kellhaen, play by play voice of the Old
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Miss Rebels DK. I got to give you you probably
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: already know this. The weekend that you're coming in October
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: twenty fourth a little bit busy in this town. It's
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: half one weekend, so you've got the Formula one race
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: going on, So you got people from all over the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: world coming in for that out at Kotah circuiting the Americas.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: The Rockets and Spurs are playing a regular season game
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: at Moody Center that Friday night, the day before the game,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and there's other things going on too.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: And the Manning Bowl on top of everything.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Then on top of everything else, you got that going on.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: So yeah, quick quick story.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: Last time he got the Cooper Cooper and our friends,
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: and when he came to Old This he signed with
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: us as a receiver. I'm one of the few people
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: that actually saw him practice before he had the next issue.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: Why I'll get into all that, but he was very
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: fortunate to not have some serious issues with that and
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: kind of fought through his health.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: But he ended his football career.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: But you know, I watched him run routes, had great hands,
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: and everything about Cooper was like, he's a heck of
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: a football player's receiver, not a quarterback like the rest
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: of them. But when he got recovered from his next surgery,
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: we used him as a road reporter and the coaches
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: show funniest.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Guy in the world.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, even at that age, at that young
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: age in college, personality just unreal. And we had so
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: much fun working together for a few years there.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: And hey, you can tell Sarga about.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: The the the.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Basket weaving comment or whatever.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: I had to take it twice because there's an underwater
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: element to it, you know, so it's very difficult.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: I bet Coop had to take it three times.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: That was the grad level, right, Yeah, probably at the
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: grid level.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Take you all of that, okay, But I love Coop.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be interesting because he and you know, Grandad
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: or both on this guys and arch playing for Texas.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: That'll be a fun weekend for both schools.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And you're exactly he is a great dude. Cooper is
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun to listen to and just just
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: hilarious to be around.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: So that that's great. Uh, that's that's awesome.
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: DK, I appreciate the time, look forward to seeing you
• 27:37

  Speaker 2: So we'll we'll do that coming up.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Long Worn football team had a scrimmage on Saturday.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: It was a little bit limited in terms of the
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: totality because and you'll hear Sark talk about a little
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: bit of a flute bug that was sweeping through the
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: team and what they were trying to do is get
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: guys healthy and all that kind of stuff. But uh
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: here here's what Sark had to say after the scrimmage
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: on Saturday, their first of a full on, full padded
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: fall camp scrimmages.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: I wanted to be able to get to you guys
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: after scrimmages because I know it's a long time so
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: I see again, you know, kind of into next week.
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: So you know a couple of things from today that
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: were that you always have to manage and deal with
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: in training camp with any team. We kind of got
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: a little bit of a flu bug hit our team
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: here heading into heading into the scrimmage this weekend, so
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: we had some guys out you know that uh weren't
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: able to go. Rashem Biles Brad Spence, just as Terry
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: to Anthony Smith, Dayla mccutche and John Meredith. Uh, those
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: guys were down heading into the scrimmage.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: And then naturally when you scrimmag you're gonna have some guys,
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: you know, kind of get bumps and bruises as we go.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: But I did think, I did think there were some
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: real highlight plays, so that Jonah Williams had a nice
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: interception in the end zone on the first drive, Grace
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: and Littleton had a had An had a really nice
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: seventy five yard interception return in the red area later
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: in practice. You know, I thought, I thought a couple
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: of the quarterbacks all kind of through you know, through
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: touchdown passes, made big plays.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: Wingo had a long touchdown, Cam had a long touchdown,
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: nice touchdown to releak Brown from from kJ and uh
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: D Bell hit hit Colin Brown on a touchdown.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: So some give and take there.
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: I thought the running game was pretty good offensively and
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: saw some from the young guys that that showed some
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: things there. I thought from a special team standpoint, I
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: thought we punted the ball very well today, and I
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: think Geo was four or five on field goals or
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: maybe even five or six with a long of forty nine,
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: you know, missed his first one.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: We got to look at the snaphold operation, but I
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: thought that was good. Again, you know, it was warm
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: out today. We put our guys in some taxing situations. Naturally,
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: we've got to fight through, and we got to learn
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: how to fight through.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: We had a halftime, we came back out in the heat,
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: and I thought, I thought we.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Managed it well.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: But again, I think this is why our depth is
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: so important.
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: Days like today, you get a flu bug hit your
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: locker room, it's hot, guys start, guys start falling out
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: a little bit. Other guys got to step up and
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: they need to be ready to play. And so hopefully
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: this served as a great example of that.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: All right, So that was some opening comment for me.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: He was asked during the Q and a part about, uh,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: how much of the linebacker depth is he seeing develop
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: and how much did he see on the field in the.
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: Scrimmage, younger guys who stepped up and kind of took
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: advantage of their opportunities.
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: I think it was Yeah, I think it was great
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: reps for you know, you think about Tyler Atkinson, Cozy Oak, Paula,
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: Rocky Cummings. I mean, these reps are invaluable for those guys.
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: You know, you think you take a guy laid in
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: the portal of Darius snow days like today, you're really
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: really glad you got him because he's a smart football player,
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: he's savvy, he can get in there and go play.
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: And again, we weren't trying to We weren't trying to
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: overdo it with with with Justin Cryer. You know a
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: lot of our guys when we were live in the
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: first half of the scrimmage, we limited those guys a
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: Ton Crier, Colin Simmons, you know, Arch Cam Coleman, Wingo,
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: Emmitt Moseley.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: So there was.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Already added opportunities for guys.
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: But but at linebacker, clearly a lot of the young
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: guys got got plenty of reps today.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, Uh back to that deal about the flu outbreak
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and and you know, what kind of impact does it have,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: like on a scrimmage and the performance on both sides
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: of the ball and mixing and matching and those kinds
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: of things.
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't I don't know an exact number of
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: Kirk and I'm I'm anticipating we may have a few
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: more that that fought through today. You know, we'll see,
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: we'll see what happens. We have obviously an off day tomorrow.
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: But that's hey, that's that's part of life, you know.
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: And and there's no telling we couldn't get a flue
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: bug in any.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Game this season.
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: And you know, how what do we do to our
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: best of our ability as a staff to manage that
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: keep guys hydrated so that they can contribute. From a
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: ballgame standpoint, you know, I would probably just say first
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: scrimmage out. I would probably would lean to the defense.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: Again, you know, a couple of red zone turnovers, I
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: thought they got off the field. Again, that's not to
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: take anything away from the offense, because I thought there
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: was some explosive plays. Like I said, the run game
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: I was encouraged by. But again, you know, when you
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: don't have a game plan, we were just trying to.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Work ourselves through some stuff.
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: But again, I didn't see anybody today that I felt
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: like the moment was too big. And that's big going
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: into our first scrimmage. Now, we need to be better
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: next Saturday. And I just told the team that you know, individual,
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: we've all got it. We've all got to take a
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: step forward. We've all got to continue to improve so
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: that we can get better as a team because we're
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: not a finished product. But but I do think for
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: a week and a half into training camp, today served
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: as good kind of barometer for where we're at, Where
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: are where our weaknesses are, where we need to improve,
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: where our strengths are that we can lean into. But
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: I would probably say the defense was was a little
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: bit ahead.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Today, okay.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: And so on the opposite side of that, how did
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: he feel his offensive line performed?
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I was.
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: I was really encouraged with the first offensive line unit
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: in that. You know, we've been harping on physicality and
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: we've been harping on running the ball all off season,
• 36:28
  Speaker 8: and I thought they did that today. I thought they
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: played a physical brand of football. I thought they protected
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: the quarterback well. I thought they showed good continuity with
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: one another, you know, which is always something, you know,
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: how do they work with one another? Now, granted, in
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: the second half, we made some we made some changes
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: and Gooseby's you know, we pulled him out, we pulled
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: Melvin out, and we get a couple of penalties with
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: those with those two's that were in there, and so
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: you know, how do we how do we bring our
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: twos along as well? You know those linemen that are
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: maybe seven eight nine kind of in the rotation so
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: that if their numbers called, they can they can function
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: and operate at a high level if their numbers called
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: as well.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: All Right, we'll hear some more from Sark coming up
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: next hour, including his thoughts on arch Manning and his
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: performance and a surprise in the backfield as well. So
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: we'll hear some more from Sart coming up next time,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: and we'll hear more from him tomorrow as well as
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: a follow up to today's practice. Before we get to
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: the break, I wanted to get to the brand new
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: preseason AP Top twenty five College Football poll. It was
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: released today, and here's something historic to note that Ohio
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: State and Oregon are one and two in the poll.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: What is historicis is that.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Those two, obviously both out of the Big Ten, gives
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the Big ten and the top two teams in the
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: preseason rankings for the first time in sixty five years,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: so first time since nineteen sixty one and just the
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: second time ever. If I'm going off the top of
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: my head that might have been. You can check check
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: me on that, Jake. It might be Minnesota and Iowa,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: or Minnesota and Ohio State. Maybe because I think Minnesota
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: was coming off a national championship. Off of that nineteen
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: sixty one preseason AP poll, I'm going to guess Minnesota
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: was one of the.
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: Two nineteen sixty one. Yeah, Iowa and Ohio State.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Iowa, oh I said to mentioned three, and I said, Okay,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Iowa and Ohio State. It's only it's the first time
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: since then, and only the second time ever that it's
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: happened that two Big Ten teams are preseason number one
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: and two. Sixty nine media members cover college football, and
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: so here's how the poll broke down. Ohio State is
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: number one. They got forty of the sixty nine votes.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Oregon is number two. They becoup fourteen first place votes. Georgia,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: without a first place vote, was third. Notre Dame was
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: six first place votes was fourth. Texas checks in at
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: number five. No first place votes for the Long Mornings. Indiana,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: the defending national champions, number six in the rankings, and
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: they had eight first place votes. Miami with one first
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: place vote is number seven, and there's no other first
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: place votes below that. Texas A and M was eight, Ole,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: miss nine, and Oklahoma ten to round out the top ten.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Then in the second ten, it starts off with LSU.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech is twelve, Alabama is thirteen, EYU fourteen tie
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: with USC Southern California both are fourteen. Michigan is number sixteen,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Washington seventeen, Penn State eighteen, SMU at nineteen. Tennessee finishes
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: out the top twenty, and then the final five in
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: the rankings. You taught number twenty one, Iowa is twenty two,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Houston twenty three, Louisville number twenty four, and Missouri is
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: twenty five. So there's your ap top twenty five. And
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: if you're wondering how many of those top twenty five
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: teams is Texas playing well, start at number one with
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Ohio State. Then you get Texas A and M is eight, Ole,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Missus nine, Oklahomas ten, LSU is eleven.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: All of those are on the Texas schedule.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Tennessee is number twenty and Missouri is twenty five. Seven
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Top twenty five ranks schools on the Texas schedule.
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: And five of the top ten that are not named Texas.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: That's unbelievable. Yeah, how about that five at the top eleven?
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Really but yeah, yeah, exactly, So uh anyway, that's that's
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: just so you'll know that that's where it is.
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: Zero first place votes Craig for SEC teams. So that
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: might be a reaction to the playoff struggles the conference
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: has had over the last couple of years. There's not
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: one of the sixty nine reporters who essentially is picking
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: an SEC team as it's preseason number one. It doesn't
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: mean nobody will pick him to win the national championship,
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: but the logic would follow.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Well, and Miami gets a first place vote, I guess
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: for getting into the National Championship game a year ago
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: and playing Indiana better than just about anybody did during
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: the course of the season. Indiana got eight, and as
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I've said on a couple of occasions, that could be
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: in some measure due to just being the defending national champion.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: That happens a lot Notre Dame, a lot of people
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: high on Notre Dame. Great bull game showing right. They
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: opted out, all right, So we're gonna hear more from
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: next hour, and we have more on this. Jake and
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: I will do a little more of a breakdown on
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: the science of the voting and what goes into the
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: minds of those doing the voting, and what does it
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: really mean does it is it truly meaningless or might
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: it carry some influence.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that coming up in the next hour. Influencers.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't say TikTok influence. I just said people influencing.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Start's influence all up. Next, we're gonna take a look
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: back at the weekend for the Cowboys and Texans when
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: we continue on thirteen under the Zone. It just started
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: up on a Monday. This tune will take me back
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: concerted vending days. I worked this some of the shows
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: on the Steel Wheels tour from nineteen eighty one Rolling Stones,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: including in the Cotton Bowl where the first hack was
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: the fabulous Thunderbirds that the Vaughn brothers had Stevie Ray
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: and Jimmy Vaughn and it then's Ezy Top, then the
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Rolling Stones in a driving rain, pouring rain at the
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Cotton didn't bother anybody. They were all out there to
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: see it. And then then at the superdomin New Orleans
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: early December of eighty one, I think the Neville Brothers
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: opened for them, and then they did this, and then,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: like I said, I always marked that occasion, remembering that
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: it's the first time I've ever been, ever seen anybody
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: shoot off fireworks, a large fireworks inside a dome stadium.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I wonder about the health and safety concerns in that.
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: I always think about. Well, I'll get back to the
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: song in a second. I always think about it. Michael's
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: at the start of the second half, when the smoke
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: hasn't cleared.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: He'll let you know about it.
• 44:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, there's there's some lingering pyrotechnics out there.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, true enough, true.
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: But that that song, yeah, gets you fired up for
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: a week, gets you fired up for the start of
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: football season. It's also the song that was playing the
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: walkout music, if you will, for the pitchers at Nationals Park.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: It was the choice of Max Schurzer.
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: I always associate this song with being so excited to
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: watch him pitch for the first time.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, Uh, let's let's have a little recap of the
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: weekend in the NFL in the preseason?
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Uh, did you did you watch much?
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: I'm not a preseason guy, and I'm not afraid to
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: admit it. I mean, I'll watch highlights I see. Of course,
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: my my algorithm on Twitter knows me too well. It
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: knows I'm gotta I'm in too many fantasy football leagues,
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: so it's showing me content about look at this highlight
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: for this rookie, you know, pick him up in Dynasty.
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: I try not to read too much into the preseason,
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: and I enjoy the games when they're on. I'm not
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: going to turn it off if it you know, if
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: it's out somewhere. But I've taken the last couple of
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: weekends to little, you know, ease up on the football
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: before it takes over my life.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we I did watch some of the
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Texans on Thursday night. I was not very impressed with that,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: and neither was Demiico Ryans. We'll hear more from him
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: coming up in the next segment. And then on Saturday,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I watched a little bit of the Bears and Brown
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: simply because it was on and it turned on and
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: it was live at the time, and I watched some
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: of that, and I was kind of interested to see
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson versus Shadeur Sanders thing.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think either one lit it up.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Deshaun might have looked a little bit better Chaudeur through
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: an interception.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: I saw a lot of underthrows on Twitter from DeShawn.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I had that and he and he lost
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: to fumble too, So so there was that.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Did you see ty Simpson?
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: I did because I watched the Rams and Chiefs and
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: and I had it on and I didn't watch it
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: with rapped attention, but it did. I saw Stetson Bennett
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: and playing, and then and then ty Simpson. You know,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: because obviously Matthew Stafford is not going to take a
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: snap at the preseason.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: That is Sean mcvay's wait.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Even though Joe Burrow played him for the Bengals the
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: other night.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: I never understand that.
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: And every year Zach Taylor puts his starters in the preseason,
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: and every year they start slowly.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen played the other night, played some snaps, but uh,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Sean McVay, no dice, you're not going to see any
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: starters out there or it, other than maybe in special teams.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: The only thing I saw from the Commanders who season
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: I had declared over in the two o'clock hour today
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: is that Marcus Mariota suffered a non contact injury.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that that's not good, not good.
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: And the offensive line didn't look good in that they
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: couldn't get any kind of a run blocking push going. Now,
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: you don't want to read into a preseason, right, but
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: the defense is supposed to be vanilla Craig, Yeah, supposed
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: to be easy covered two, straightforward. See if you can
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: push the Dolphins defensive line backwards, and the Commander's starters
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: didn't do that.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: I watched a little bit of the Rams and Chiefs,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: and again, key players on both sides were not in
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: action in that. So yeah, I did see a little
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: bit of Ty Simpson and then he didn't look bad.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: And Stetson Bennett moved the ball on a couple of
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: drives as well. The big question in the Rams is
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: you know whether Aaron Donald. He has worked out with
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: the team twice, but he has not announced if he's
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: coming back. There's a lot of people excited about that,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: so we'll see. And the Cowboys, of course had Von Miller,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: who was a teammate of of Aaron Donald. When the
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Rams won the Super Bowl. The Cowboys just signed Von Miller.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: He had been a free agent wasn't on a roster,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: so they did do that.
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: Do you think it's smart for both sides to just wait?
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Well, Donald and the Rams, the Rams for sure are
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: not in any hurry.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: They're okay on their defensive front. You know. They got
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Miles Head, yeah, more than ok.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they've got other guys as well, so they're
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: in no hurry. But if Aaron Donald stays in shape
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: and maybe the need comes around to do it, he's
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: got one year left on that deal. If you were
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: to come back, thirty million bucks, you know. So we'll
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: see if it turns out that way or not.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: Could turn out to be quite a year for Craig
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Way's teams.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see, we'll see. The Dodgers aren't exactly impressing
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: anybody right now. They look they are struggling.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: That's true, Catcher of the defense, all of it.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's it's a struggle, all right. Let's hear
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: from Ryan shot Number, the Cowboys head coach. They did
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: look impressive again, a lot of backups seeing action. You
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: didn't see the main ones out there on either side,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: either for Dallas or for the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: See.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: But the guys who were out there for the Cowboys
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: looked impressive in the seventeen to seven wins, and Brian
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: seoan Hammer was asked for his thoughts on it.
• 49:07
  Speaker 10: I thought the second half was really really well played.
• 49:11
  Speaker 10: I thought defensively they were amazing. I think three or
• 49:14
  Speaker 10: four three and four and outs. I thought they were awesome.
• 49:18
  Speaker 10: A couple of the red zone stops. Jonathan Mingo thinks
• 49:21
  Speaker 10: the first half made incredible play, you know, on a
• 49:23
  Speaker 10: punt return, stopped it, and then obviously we muffed the
• 49:26
  Speaker 10: fumble there late.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Defense goes right back out there.
• 49:30
  Speaker 10: A little bit of training camp football, a little sloppy,
• 49:33
  Speaker 10: that's kind of what you deal with. But overall, I
• 49:35
  Speaker 10: thought the team effort to get the win against a
• 49:38
  Speaker 10: good opponent was was really good.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Things. We obviously need to clean up the penalties.
• 49:44
  Speaker 10: They threw a lot of penalties really on both teams,
• 49:47
  Speaker 10: but you know that's what the preseason four work on
• 49:49
  Speaker 10: your hand placement get better.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: But the overall is really really proud of our guys.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Every year, it seems like in Cowboys' training camp there
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: is a name that pops up seemingly out of nowhere,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: like Hey and you take note of this guy, whether
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: he makes the team or not. You know, this year's
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: name I submit to is Camden Brown, wide receiver from
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Texas Southern who caught two touchdown passes in the game
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: and not easy catches either. And he was asked about
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Camden Brown's two touchdown performance.
• 50:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, you know, the game's not too big
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: for him. He does that every every every day in practice.
• 50:26
  Speaker 10: We see it all the time. And you know, I
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: thought it was a really really good throw by Sam
• 50:31
  Speaker 10: tight coverage, but they trust him. And then you know,
• 50:33
  Speaker 10: Joe's throw on the fade, he gets blasted and uh,
• 50:37
  Speaker 10: the one and to catch me. But he's been doing
• 50:39
  Speaker 10: that the whole time. And what I love about him is,
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: you know he does the little things too. You watch
• 50:44
  Speaker 10: him on special teams and one on one drills, things
• 50:46
  Speaker 10: like that. He realizes that, you know, that's how you
• 50:48
  Speaker 10: make this football team. When you've got a receiver room
• 50:51
  Speaker 10: that's filled with George Pickens, Ceedee lamb Ryan Florida, people
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: like that, you know that stuff matters. So you know,
• 50:58
  Speaker 10: really good day. But he's got to keep stacking on
• 50:59
  Speaker 10: my he's been doing.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that includes uh, continue to perform getting some
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: first team reps.
• 51:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean we've wanted to get him in there
• 51:06
  Speaker 10: a little bit with the first team, and when we
• 51:09
  Speaker 10: put him in there, he's done a really good job.
• 51:12
  Speaker 10: We actually moved him over to that position for the
• 51:14
  Speaker 10: second one, you know, because he normally plays flanker and
• 51:17
  Speaker 10: we moved him over there. And like I said, the
• 51:20
  Speaker 10: throw from Joe was terrific, but you know, the catch
• 51:23
  Speaker 10: was incredible as well. And but yeah, he's just consistent, man,
• 51:28
  Speaker 10: And that's what we want as coaches.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: We want people that are consistent.
• 51:30
  Speaker 10: They're the same every day and yeah they might have
• 51:32
  Speaker 10: a bad day or a dip, but then they bring
• 51:34
  Speaker 10: it right back.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so we Yeah, he caught a touchdown
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: passed from Sam Howell and he called one also from
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Joe Milton in the game. And if you only give
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: up seven points, even in a preseason game, you've probably
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: done a pretty good job. And that includes in the
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: red zone where shot. He was asked about his team's defense. Yeah,
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: I mean the defense. The defense's job is to keep
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: people out of the end zone. I mean, that's what
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: we're tasked to do. And you know, I'm fine winning
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: games seven to three, ten to seven. I don't care,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: but I thought they were terrific. I thought, you know,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: we were a little sloppy early on, you know, and
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: we gave them some hitting yards with penalties early on.
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: But I thought they really buttoned down, and I thought
• 52:14
  Speaker 10: the pass rush was really good. We let Milroy get
• 52:17
  Speaker 10: out a few times, which he's very athletic, but overall
• 52:20
  Speaker 10: I was very, very pleased. Anytime you can get three
• 52:22
  Speaker 10: and ounce and four and outs in the red zone stops.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: So what you want?
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did good there. Well, here's some more from
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Shotty coming up next hour. Up next, we're gonna hear
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: from Demiko rants. But here we're gonna hear from somebody
• 52:35

• 53:53
  Speaker 1: game film from their loss on Thursday night to the Chargers,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Demiko Ryans.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: That's next. When we continue on sports trading on my mind,
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: I can't go along.
• 54:12
  Speaker 7: And we're back to show. I have a message for Craig.
• 54:16
  Speaker 11: Share it by you seeing the talk back feature on
• 54:18
  Speaker 11: the Ihearts radio app one of.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: The greatest rock bands of all time for you, what
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: mat I'm trying to remember is is this song also

• 54:33
  Speaker 2: song is not a part of rum I mean I
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: didn't think so.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, man, this is because of all of
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: the mega hits and huge gigantic hits. Young Rumors were
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: one of the best selling albums of all time. If
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: this one's on there, I think this predated End of
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: the Day. This might be the one on the same
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: album as Rhiannon's.
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: Things from their self titled out in nineteen seventy.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and also on that album, what are the other tunes.

  Speaker 1: Fleetwood back the Kingdom so.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: Gigantic, got Landslide on there too. Yeah, heck of the deal?
• 55:22
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: The Monday went back to the practice till for the
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Houston Texans. They were they practiced inside Reliance Stadium today and.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Uh or what is it called NRG. I guess yes,
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: set Reliant Park. The whole thing.
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm sorry, it was Houston Stadium. Over the summer
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: now it's NRG Stadium.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: That's right, it's back to RG. They practice inside the
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: stadium today.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: They have the Raiders coming in for joint practices tomorrow.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: But before that, in review of the loss on Thursday
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: night of the Chargers and with the roster moves that
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: need to be made, Graham Mertz was injured, Brett Rippon
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: has been signed as another quarterback.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Demico Ryans asked about that move.
• 56:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah, really unfortunate news for Graham for him to have
• 56:10
  Speaker 9: torn acl and see he's battled. He's done a good
• 56:14
  Speaker 9: job all camp past two years. He's done a really
• 56:16
  Speaker 9: good job of handling his role.
• 56:17
  Speaker 7: The proper way.
• 56:19
  Speaker 9: But he's encouraged, he's taking it the right way. So
• 56:23
  Speaker 9: I'm just excited to see him on his.
• 56:25
  Speaker 7: Road to recovery. He'll do a great job with that.
• 56:27
  Speaker 9: We signed Ripping today, So getting him in, guy who's
• 56:31
  Speaker 9: bouncing around a few different teams, had some experiences played
• 56:34
  Speaker 9: in games. Son, He's already you can see he's very
• 56:37
  Speaker 9: sharp guy. He's picked up on the offense, ready to
• 56:40
  Speaker 9: take some reps. So thankful to be able to get
• 56:43
  Speaker 9: him in at this time to help us out during camp.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Brett Ripping that's a good way to describe. He's
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: bounced around a few teams, including the Rams. He was
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: with the Rams last year as well, son of Mark Ripping,
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: the former Washington Super Bowl MVP.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: The last Washington quarterback to the Super Bowl. How about that?
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: They went back to work then obviously they were traveling
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: back or not traveling back. They had the day off
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: Friday after the Thursday night game, but then they went
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: back to work on Saturday with the practice, and Ryan's
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: was talking about the intensity he saw on the field.
• 57:17
  Speaker 9: Saw a lot of good intensity they had practice. Guys
• 57:20
  Speaker 9: were flying around, Guys were.
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: Just having fun playing football.
• 57:24
  Speaker 9: He could sit and feel the energy from our guys,
• 57:26
  Speaker 9: you know, all across, all across the field. Thought the
• 57:29
  Speaker 9: guys had a really good day to day. Today was
• 57:31
  Speaker 9: primarily our first group getting most of the reps because
• 57:34
  Speaker 9: they didn't play in the game. So really good energy
• 57:37
  Speaker 9: at practice, good start to the week. We'll see how
• 57:39
  Speaker 9: we continue to progress throughout.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: You know, there's still a great deal of curiosity, great
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: deal of curiosity surrounding Jadevi and Cloudey. Of course, started
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: with the Texans and then went to other teams, including
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys last year. We had to think nine sacks
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: last year for the Cowboys. Now back with the Texans
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: sign and the Demiko Ryans was asked, what's the exact
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: act has he brought to camp and to the defense.
• 58:03
  Speaker 7: Jadaymian's done a really good job.
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: He's still picking up the scheme and how we do things,
• 58:07
  Speaker 9: but he's done a really good job with the rest.
• 58:09
  Speaker 7: That he's given.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: Another guy who's made an impression is a rookie safety
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: from USC Kamari Ramsey, and he had an interception of
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: the game and it You know, anytime you make a
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: play like that and you're a rookie, you're going to
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: attract the notice of the coaching staff, and Ramsey certainly
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: did so with regard to the head coach and the staff.
• 58:32
  Speaker 9: With Kamara's growth, what I've seen as a guy who's
• 58:35
  Speaker 9: very smart. We're starting to throw a couple more things
• 58:39
  Speaker 9: at him, seeing if he can handle dual position roles,
• 58:41
  Speaker 9: so try to mix it up, try to get him
• 58:43
  Speaker 9: down and nickel.
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: A little bit.
• 58:45
  Speaker 9: Moving back to safety, he's handled both well in the
• 58:48
  Speaker 9: classroom in a meeting setting, so just have to come
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: out and do the physical rests. But he's a guy
• 58:52
  Speaker 9: you can put a lot on mentally, he's absorbed it
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: really well. Got one pick in the game with his
• 58:58
  Speaker 9: great sid have had another one on the sideline, but man,
• 59:02
  Speaker 9: on that particular play, you talk about excellent technique from
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: him being exactly where he's supposed to be, reading the
• 59:08
  Speaker 9: quarterback the proper way, pushing through as a buzz defender.
• 59:11
  Speaker 7: A really great job by him.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Now, remember I mentioned they're gonna have a joint practice
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: with the Raiders, joint practices, and the Cowboys said had
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: one with the Rams last week, and I think they're
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: gonna have another one with him. Joint practices can be
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: a mixed blessing or mixed back. First of all, you're
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: not having to go up again, You're you're actually getting
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: to hit someone in a different color jersey, a different
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: a different team, So there's a there's a positive out
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: of that. And I will also say this, the coaches
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: kind of know they share with one another what they're
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: each working on, so it gives equal opportunity for success,
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: whether it's one team's offense against the other team's defense
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: and vice versa. So it's worked out that the mixed
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: blessing part comes in sometimes the intensity can ratch up
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: to a point where you have out and out fights,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: and there have been guys who've been hurt in training
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: camp scuffles with players of other teams. So that's one
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: thing the coach has always tried to monitor and make
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: sure the intensity plays through. Is they like to say
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: to the echo of a whistle and then it stops
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: right there, and then they go back to the rules
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: and they go back to work. So against that backdrop,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Demico Rans was asked about what this preparation will be
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: like for this joint practice with the Raiders.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 9: Today and this week, for us to be typical to
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 9: our in season week. That's why we're here a little
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 9: later in the afternoon when all our guys get used
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 9: to our inn season schedule and how we operate. So
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 9: we'll go through a normal in season week up until
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: it's that Tuesday to our joint practice, and we'll have
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 9: a really good competitive practice versus the Raiders.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 7: I mean, they're gonna give.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 9: Us a lot of good, good lunks, good competition, really
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: good talent, especially the running back position is talented.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: A tight ends their offensive line.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 9: Fast, so we got a defensive end as well.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 7: All Right, Max Crosby.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 9: So for our guys to be able to go against
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 9: a really talented team is going to be very beneficial
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 9: to us and really helping.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 7: Us progress and get better as camp.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 9: Is going on.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, he did even mention Fernanda Mendoza, right, and Mendoza
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: has a pretty good debut for at quarterback for the US.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll be in there before long.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: It'll be interesting to see him go up against this
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: Texans front. You heard everything Brian Schottenneimer had to say
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 5: about his O line facing the Rams. How about how
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: this how this young Raiders remade Raiders offensive line and
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 5: obviously Mendoza look against the Texans front, which is to
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 5: me the best in football stadium.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it can be.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: And how about the overall message that Demico Ryans would
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: have for his team coming off that preseason opening loss. Now, again,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: it's a preseason game. More's the point. It was a
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: preseason opening game, So there's not going to be much
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: in the way of the information on your regular game
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: by game starters that comes out of that, other than
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: perhaps on special teams as well. Still, in all, you know,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: they always talk about the attitude and intensity that they
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: want to have from their guys, and so Ryan's was
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: asked what was his message to the team following that
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: loss to the Chargers.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 9: My message to most of our guys was we got
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 9: to pick it up from a play style standpoint of
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 9: how we're swarming to the football and how we're finishing
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 9: on the football.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 7: I thought, you know, Chargers ran.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 9: The ball efficiently versus us, and they were very effective
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 9: of knocking us off the ball. We didn't have finished
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 9: the right way, and I feel like we left a
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 9: lot out there, especially on the defensive side and offense.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 9: In the second half, it was too many three and
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 9: out so we didn't sustain any drifts. So for all
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 9: of our guys who played, it was not good enough
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 9: and we got a lot to improve upon. And so
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 9: it's it's not telling two and that's the starting point,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 9: right and you can only go up from what we've
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 9: displayed on Thursday night. We can only get better and
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 9: grow from it. And our guys have already shown they
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 9: taken those steps today.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: All right, that's Demico Ryans the're talking about that that
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: was after practice or the weekend, coming off that preseason loss. Again,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: later in the final hour, we'll hear some more from
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Brian Chottenheimer, the Cowboys head coach. We'll be back to
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: wrap up an hour number two right here on thirteen
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: under the zone works better if I push the button properly.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: Thought I hit it, didn't hit it well enough.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 7: But.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: You know it'll be third and final hour on sports radio.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: You remind me of an MLB umpire right there, Craig.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, really well, the pushing and you know, trying to
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: try to get the the challenge announced, but instead of
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: the full thing, you kind of get like at your
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 5: challenging the pitch.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, there is some of that in and out.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: By the way, how do you feel about all of
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: that about the ABA system.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 5: I've really enjoyed it, especially because we're starting to see
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: teams really differentiate themselves in terms of the strategy of
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 5: using the ABS challenge.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: And it's also fascinating to me.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 5: Baseball's always been really a sport that has really drawn
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: me in, even over the long dog days of summer
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: of one hundred and sixty two days, because there's no
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 5: two batters who stand the same way and swing the
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: same way, there's no two pitchers whose stuff and whose
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: delivery is exactly the same, and there's also no two
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 5: personalities that are the same, and to see how that
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: has interacted with this new innovation in the game is
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: really really exciting for me.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, one thing that.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: People know that I'm a fan of the Dodgers and
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: watching how they've been stumbling and struck along of late
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: that sort of thing. But their television network, and I
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: know that's that's been a big, you know, big part
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: of the discussion with regard to revenues and all this
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: other kind of stuff.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: But I will tell you this.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: Their television network, which is Spectrum Sports net LA, is
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: their their TV network has a stable of announcers.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: The lead announcer is Joe Davis play by play announcer,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: but Joe is limited to about I think I read
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: about ninety games a year because of his duties and
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: responsibilities with Fox what he's doing on that, and then
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: there's some off days I think also, and then when
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: you get into September, he's got an NFL package that
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: he does on Sunday for Fox.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: He's like with the number.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: Two team, Yeah, Greg Olsen, Yeah, him and Greg Olsen
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: the number two team. So so they mix in a
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: couple of other play by play guys. In fact, I'm
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: trying trying to count it the other ones. Steven Nelson
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: is usually the plug in there. Tim Neverett also is
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: plugged in on some of the telecasts, and they have
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: a rotating cadre of analyst. Oral Herscheizer is the main analyst,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: but he doesn't make that many road trips. He'll go
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: to the really you know, the high profile ones like
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Wrigley Field or Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park, but if
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: he's in Pittsburgh, he's probably not going. You know, it
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: might it might be Eric carros Uh there, or it
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: could also be Jessica Mendoza. She's one of the rotating
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: analysts there. Rick Munday even comes off radio and works
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: as an analyst on occasion. The point of all of this,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, is is that they all have different
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: opinions of the ABS system and the umpires, and that
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: includes Oral Hirschheiser, who thinks this is his take on this.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: He believes that that the that the ABS system shows
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: how good the umpires are. He says, you know, he
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: says this, this, this only shows you how good they are,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: by and large.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: I agree with him.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: But when they miss, they miss badly on some I
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: mean they're missing by two full inches below the plate
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: or outside the plate, you know, or high. I've seen
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: that a lot.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: That doesn't bother me so much, especially early in the game.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 5: What will bother me is throughout a game if they're
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: missing the same types of pitches to the same handedness
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 5: of the batter, and that's when managers will bark at him.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah, yeah, well even if the team is getting
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 5: the overturns, right, yeah, right.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right exactly, because they don't want to have to
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: waste a challenge or risk a challenge if you will,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: that sort of. But it does make me wonder how
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: often an umpire looks at that when he says, like
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: you said about the chadite, Mike is cutting out, you know,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: whatever catcher is challenging.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: The pitch.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Catchers are right far more often than batters are, and
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: pictures are the worst, by the way, when they've called it.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: I think that other than shoe a Otani, who rarely
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: does it, I think none of the Dodger pitchers are
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know if loud is the right word, but
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: I think they've been instructed don't challenge show a. I
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: think he almost never challenges when he's at the plate
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: let alone on the mound, And of course he hasn't
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: pitched since June, so so that has in facted in.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: But it does make me wonder about some guys should
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: never challenge.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: Andy Pie has should.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 5: Never challenge, should never challenge?
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: And I heard who was it?
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: I think it was it might have been Dan Patrick
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: on this show or on one of the guys on
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: the National Network, said that there should be a penalty
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: that if you challenge, whether you're the catcher or the hitter,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: God forbid it to be the pitcher.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: But if you're the catcher of the hitter.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: And you challenge and you're off by more than an inch,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: the team should lose all the rest of its challenges.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: If I can't remember if it's Dan, I don't want to.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: I don't want to definitely put it on him. If
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: it wasn't him, the penalty's already there. You lose the challenge.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, to get to it's like, you shouldn't be
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: that daft, you shouldn't be.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: That that far off base.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 5: Imagine it's more than an echin inside the umpire goes
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 5: by the way, that's an extra strike.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: Wring them up.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's another way to look at it possibly,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: So you know, I guess I guess that's one way
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: to think of it as well.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: But it it's amazing when they did.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: Now I understand in the high leverage moments in the
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: late innings, what have you got to lose? Right if
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: you're in the eighth or ninth it's kind of like
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: time out. Some football can't take him with you anyway.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 5: In my mind, I'm thinking, oh, the like the catcher,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 5: he's gonna he's gonna mess up his his challenge percentage. Well,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 5: sometimes you have to use a challenge because I've also
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 5: seen it though, to where the catcher challenges a pitch
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 5: and kind of tilting his head already knowing he probably
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 5: got it wrong. But you've got a chance to end
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 5: the game on that pitch, so why not use it?
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: And then I've seen the game continue and things get
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 5: wacky and they run out of challenges in the ninth inning.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, I've seen that happen a lot or somebody
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: and they'll say, well, they're out of challenge, even though
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: had they been able to challenge, it would have been overturned.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: It would have gone in their favor. But if you
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: spend am Erley, well you want to get somebody mad
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: Rick Monday, who can be irascible, eighty years of age.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: He's the he's the radio analyst on the on the
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: Dodgers broadcast, and he's really really good. But he can
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: really be you know, get off my long guy too.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: He hates when batter's challenge like before the third inning,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: same thing, Eric Carros on TV. They hate that, right,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: And my view on that is, if it's really that
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: obvious and really that blatant, go ahead, because if there's
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: a runner in scoring position, you got two outs. I
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: don't care if it is top of the first inning.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: If that pitch is way outside and the umpire calls
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: of a strike, you go ahead and you challenge.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: Well, who not all first inning or third inning challenges
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 5: are created equally, right? Are you facing Mislerowski with a
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 5: base runner on? That might be one of two innings
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: you get a base runner on that afternoon, So if
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 5: it's a high leverage count, why not.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you bring that up because on Saturday
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: there was a pitch that was missed by Missowski in
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: that Saturday evening game. To Otani but he didn't challenge it.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, challenge it, that's going to be
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: strike too. Sure enough, he winds up strike it out.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: You know, you never know how it might change to
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: get back.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 5: And I've seen people lose ball games, actually lose ball
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 5: games during at bats in which they kept challenges in
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: their pockets. So that sometimes goes to the opposite extreme
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 5: of it. Look, it's been so much fun. It's almost
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: like what we're missing now with all the automatic line
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: calls in tennis. You combine the accuracy of the machine,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: which does show the umpires how good they are most days,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 5: which does help you get key calls right in big situations,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 5: but you don't lose the human element and you don't
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 5: slow down the game into the mud like basketball replay does.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got to do something to fix.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: That, really, really, really badly. Yeah.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 5: I just TV partners don't hate it. They're airing more commercials.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 5: I can say that we're on the radios.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: You can, but yeah, it gets tedious. I don't think
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: there's any doubt about that. Okay, we want to give
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: away another copy of the magazine, Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: Like I said, we're giving away three per show, and
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: so this one's going to be random.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: Here's a random b number four, number four.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Today on this Monday afternoon, be number four here in
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: the four o'clock hour to reach us via the talkback
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: microphone the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Again to review,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: you download the iHeartRadio app on your smartphone. Whether it's
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: an Android or iPhone, doesn't matter. You just you download
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: the app. Really easy to do. You go to your
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: app store whatever, and just you know, iHeartRadio and push
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: the button says get and then maybe your a little
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: double click on the side to install or however that
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: works for you. You download it. It's free, doesn't cost
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: you a penny. So you download the iHeart Radio app.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: Then afterwards you do a search for AM thirteen under
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: the zone. You just enter AM thirteen under the zone
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: and you'll search Windows, search, bar, search, magnifying glass, whatever
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: it is. It'll pop straight up. And then when it does,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: then you'll see the little red button with the white microphone,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: that other white button that's kind of triangular shape like
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: an arrowhead whatever, that's just to listen to what's going
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: on the air. The one that you need for the
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: purposes of our magazine giveaways. Is the little red button
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: with the white microphone. So it's the red button with
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: the white microphone. You tap that button and then you
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: leave us a message. It automatically leaves us a voice
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: message there and a talkback microphone. The message is easy
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: when we do it random, you don't guess anything on
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: the trivia. All you have to do is say I
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: want the magazine. That simple, I want the magazine. So
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: you do that, I want the magazine, and if you're
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: the fourth person to do it in line, to do that,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: and again it's completely random, so whoever the fourth person
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: is to enter, then you're going to get the magazine.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: So good luck to you. All right.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna hear more from Loggorne's head coach
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: Sarkasian and uh we're gonna also here's some more NFL
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: sound Cowboys and Texans coming off their games of the weekend.

  Speaker 2: I gotta admit you have the advantage of me. Here,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: Jay Krman, your selection here? Why today? Happy birthday, Belinda Carlisle.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 5: There you go of the go Gos fame and turning
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 5: sixty eight today?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Is she really I didn't think she was older than me,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: but she is older than me. But you know, it's.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Funny when they hit big, which was like eighty two
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: I think it was. It was when Linda and I
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: were first dating the first time around.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: And again people will know my story.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: Know that my current wife, Linda, and we dated in
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: the early eighties when we were both quite young, and
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: then we parted as good friends. We each went their
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: separate ways. We each got married and went on with
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: our lives and stuff. And I was married for thirty
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: years and my wife passed away almost ten years ago,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: and Linda, her first marriage, had ended, and then we
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: happened to run into to one another randomly at an
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: event to see a friend of ours play, and it's
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: first time I'd seen her ever thirty years. And then
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: we got together and we started talking. Next thing, you know,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: we start dating, and then blah blah blah, we wind
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: them getting married. We've been married four years now point
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: was we were dating the first time back in the eighties.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: She was a huge fan of the Go Gos. Really,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: in fact, we were gonna go see them in concert
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: now again we'll remember this, Jake, this is in my
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: concert vending days. But I was not going to work
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: the show that was going to be at Reunion Arena.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: I was going to just take her. We were just
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: gonna go and watch it.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: And one of them, I don't remember which one of
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: the band members might have been Jane, got very ill
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: and they had to like either cancel or postpone the show,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: so we ended up not going at the time. But
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: Linda was always a fan of Blinda and of the
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: Go Gos as well, So happy birthday there to Belinda.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: All Right, the let's hear a little more from Sark. Then.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: I have some thoughts on this ap pole that has
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: come out college football. First of First of all, Start
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: got a big laugh out of this last year.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: The whole thing about the depth chart.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: Now, on a certain level, the depth chart is important
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: to have it. It does matter, but the coaches know
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: who's going to be doing the playing and what's going on.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: So when there was this crush in this mania by
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of outlets to put a depth chart out there.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: Start got a chuckle out of it and said, really, okay,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: we'll see how that works out. He was asked on
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: Saturday after the scrimmage if there was a timeline for
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: producing a depth chart.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I would say, you know, coming out of next
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 8: week scrimmage, I think we need to be really defined
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 8: in our too deep right, and that's not only on
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 8: offensive defense.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: I think that's special teams now, but in the same.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 8: Breath, I want that everybody on the roster's got to
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 8: understand nothing set in stone. You know, players earn opportunities
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 8: throughout a season at any at any juncture, at any moment,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 8: and so we're never gonna stop pushing.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: We're never gonna.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 8: Stop trying to develop those developing those guys to become,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 8: you know, what they can be. And we've seen that
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 8: time and time again. We've seen injuries occur at all
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 8: the different stuff that that we've seen go on as
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 8: the season goes on. So but I think coming out
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 8: of next Saturday, you know, being being pretty defined of
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 8: what are two deep looks like in all three phases
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 8: I think is important. Today we started with with with
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 8: Trevor Trevor, Lawrence Connor, Brandon Baker, and Melvin. But again,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 8: Dylan played a ton and got his opportunities.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: But a lot of guys got opportunities today.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 8: I mean we we we rolled with three different offensive
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 8: line groups, so a lot of guys got reps today.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: One other thing that came out of the Saturday scrimmage
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: was a really impressive look on some say and really
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: and truly it hasn't just been the Saturday scrimmage, but
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: as the competition has heated up for the log worns
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: at the running back spot. And while folks have dialed
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: in on and zeroed in on Hollywood Smothers or Elaked Brown,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: that sort of that, Michael Terry, his name's been brought
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: up a lot, Derek Cooper's been brought up a lot,
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: and Start pointed out that there was good reason for
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: Derek Cooper's name to be bandied about a little bit
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: because he showed out a little.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: Bit on Saturday.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I really loved Coop.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 8: You know, he's a hard charging guy. You know, he
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 8: plays physical, he plays fast. You know, he's a he's
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 8: a very natural football player. I don't know if you've
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 8: seen any of his high school film. But he's a
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 8: he played defense, he played offense, you know, whatever was
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 8: needed to be successful, So the game comes pretty naturally
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 8: to him. I think the area where he had to
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 8: take the biggest jump was really understanding pass protection, right,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 8: and that's like any young runner, right of what that
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 8: looks like from from uh, you know, it's easy to
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 8: I don't say easy to run the ball, but running
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 8: the ball and catching the ball. But but his his
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 8: understanding of the offense has been very impressive for a
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 8: young player. I think his physicality, the speed in which
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 8: he plays the game has been very impressive. But as
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 8: impressive I think has been his knowledge and willingness to learn.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 8: And uh, you know, he's he's done a really good
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 8: job of of you know, again learning from Real Leak
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 8: in Hollywood and Ryan Nibblett. But at the same time,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 8: not in a negative way, but not taking a back seat,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 8: pushing and going forward and and and trying to earn
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 8: his opportunities.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: And what will did scrimmage be without a review of
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: the performance of the quarterback? Now, there were several you know,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: they they they looked at more obviously than Arch Banning,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: and Arch didn't really even participate that much, and I'll
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: let Sart do the explaining on that, but he was
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: asked for what he thought of what Arch did when
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: he was out.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 8: There on the field, right, you know, I felt I
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 8: felt for Arch and Ryan and Cam and Emmett because
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 8: they played the first series, then they sat because I
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 8: didn't want him to be live, uh, And then they
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 8: played one series in the red zone and then they
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 8: said and then they didn't come back and play until
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 8: the second half.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: So it was a little, I guess would say, a
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: little up and down.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 7: Today.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 8: I don't think that's really indicative of him not being
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 8: out in the spring. I thought he's had a great
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 8: first week and a half of training camp and extremely impressed.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 8: Probably wasn't as fair to him today. I wanted them
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 8: to almost feel like a preseason NFL game season, you know,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 8: preseason one game. But at the same token, when we
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 8: went to thud tempo and it wasn't live, I wanted
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 8: to try to get him reps, and those reps didn't
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 8: come until the second half. So I think he can
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 8: play cleaner than he played today and a little bit
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 8: more efficient, a little bit more accurate. But there was
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 8: also some high level plays that were made too. Again,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 8: it's the level of consistency that we're fighting for, and
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 8: I've seen it right the first week and half. And
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 8: again I think probably you know, blame coach Sark for
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 8: not being quite as fair to him where I was
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 8: one one series and then sit for you know, thirty minutes,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 8: and then one series and then sit again.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: So next week we'll be a little bit different format.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: We'll hear more from Sark coming up tomorrow, and that
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: is following up on today's practice, So we'll hear more
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: from Steve Sarkisian coming up tomorrow, and a little bit
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: more of a follow up on the health situation of
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: the team since they've had that flu bug go through
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: them a little bit. So we'll get some thoughts from
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: Sark on a variety of topics tomorrow. Now, I wanted
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: to go back to the ap pole a little bit
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: because it probably didn't really surprise too many folks the
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: way it was released. Ohio State is going to be
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: number one, so we do know this, assuming assuming the
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: log Worns take care of the business in that season
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: opener coming up two weeks from this Saturday at dk
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: R Texas Memorial Stadium against the Texas State Bobcats. If
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: they win that season opening game, there'll be one to zero.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: And assuming Ohio State its business in the Horseshoe against
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: Ball State to open up the twenty twenty six season,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: Ohio State is, assuming they beat ball State, the number
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: one team in the country will be coming into Austin
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: for that matchup. I don't think anybody was really surprised
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: by that. It was probably going to be that way
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: that they were going to come in And Ohio State
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: managed to draw forty first place votes in that and
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: there were sixty nine votes by sixty nine media members
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: who cover college football for the AP and other news organizations.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: In fact, by a large it's other news organizations. They
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: just happen to have an AP vote, But forty of
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: the sixty nine votes went to Ohio State. So clearly,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: clearly it was going to be, you know, in the
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: minds of the voters that ohiost he was going to
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: be the team to beat. And you know which you know,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: where the Longhorns are concerned. You know, Sark was fine
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: with that. He was he didn't have he didn't have
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: any issues with that fact that there was a quote
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: from him where he said, I love the polls for
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: college football fans, for the excitement for the marquee matchups,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: all of those things.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: But the polls internally, they just don't matter. They're really irrelevant.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: I think we've gotten to a point now as a
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: team to understand that what matters now is how we
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: play in each and every Saturday, and pretty much all
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: of the coaches in college football echo those sentiments. Now,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: I will add this because I think there's some merit
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: in it. It is the considered opinion by many, well,
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: a great many fans, but also many media, including media
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: who might have a vote on the AP Pole or
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: don't have a vote on the AP Pole, But it
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: is the considered opinion by many media members and I
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: think a great many fans at the AP Pole and
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: to a far lesser extent, the Coaches Bowl, but certainly
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: the AP Pole influences the College Football Playoff Committee when
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: they release their initial rankings in November. Now, a lot
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: can happen between you know, September fifth, even August twenty
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: ninth for those playing on the zero week.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: A lot can happen between now and then when you
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: get to.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: Those first rankings coming out of November, and it can
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: shake up the rankings quite a bit. But for the
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: teams at or near the top of say the ap
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: pole and we ran down the rankings earlier. But even
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: the top five Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia, Notre Dame, Texas,
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: and the defending national champion the number six, and the
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: rest of the top ten Miami, which actually garnered a
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: first place vote, There's seventh A and m Ole Miss Oklahoma.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: For those schools that are ranked that, I if they're
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: playing well by the time you get to November, and
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: there will already have been some showdown games. Clearly Ohio
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: State Texas will be one of those games. Texas OU
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: will be one of those games. Texas Ole Miss will
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: be one of those games. Ohio State, Indiana, Right is
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: Ohio State? Yeah, October seventeenth. I want to make sure
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: that I had.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: The date right off. I say it is a hard
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: schedule this year. Yeah.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So between now and by the time the first
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: rankings are released, I don't know that it's that it's
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: you know, that big an impact, even if it does
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: have some sort of an impact.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 5: How about this, though, Craig, for all of the voters
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 5: last year who put Texas at the top of their
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 5: ballots to start the season, and then maybe be felt
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 5: a whole lot of remorse in between the time that
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 5: they made their preseason votes and over the first half
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 5: struggles the Longhorns had to where the Longhorns were nowhere
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 5: near the top twenty of the eight people when the
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 5: first CFP rankings right came out. How much of that
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 5: kind of voters giving up on Texas or measuring Texas
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 5: against what they expected of them in the preseason, how
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 5: much of that went on last year, We'll.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: Never really know.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: I started say, you're talking about the AP voters or
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: the College Football playoff voters.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 5: Both, especially if you're talking about the way one could
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 5: influence the other.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, the Ohio State loss was not
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: that damaging a thing to drop to third after they
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: lost to Ohio State.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 5: The Florida loss that was the killer, right. They completely
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 5: buried Texas after that.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: And then the close calls, albeit wins, but close calls
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: in over time on the road at Kentucky, on the
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: road at Mississippi State did nothing to to help their
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: status until they got in the last couple of games,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: and then and then obviously the win over A and
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: M certainly helped where they got close, just not close
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: enough and didn't get enough help from some other ones
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: that might have lost ahead of them.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I don't recall A and M getting
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 5: penalized for close wins last year.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: No, No, And and.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: You know it's not a you know, it's a zero
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: sum science really for Texas and what they have to do.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: My point about all of this is that even if
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: you feel and I don't blame you if you do,
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: and I don't blame AP voters if they feel this way,
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: Even if you feel that the College Football Playoff Committee
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: in its first rankings, if Ohio State is still unbeaten,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: if they come to Austin, beat Texas, and they win
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: at Indiana, they'll probably deserve to be in that number
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: one spot. But even if Texas defeats Ohio State and
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: defeats Oklahoma, but Oregon and Georgia are both the head
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: of Texas and the Ape pole right now, if they're
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: still in front, even though Georgia will have had a
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: win over Alabama, you know, and Oregon would have had
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: wins as well. If it's like that, then you might
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: have some merit in saying the AP thing you know,
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: might hold a little more water. That theory might hold
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: more water because then at that point you're comparing impressive wins.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: And if you're comparing impressive wins, then probably you know,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: wins over Ohio State and Oklahoma and even Ole Miss
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: for Texas, assuming those three schools hold up their end
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: of the bargain in their other games, it'd be hard
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: not to envision them being his number one and the
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: reg But because Oregon and Georgia and Notre Dame or Ahead,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: if they have impressive wins, then maybe there might be some.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: Merit in that.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 5: And you talk about zero sum math, right, and people
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 5: comparing wins if these teams were to kind of hold
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 5: so in the voter's minds, based on what this preseason
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 5: ranking lays out, you've got A and M eight, Ole
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 5: Miss nine, Oklahoma ten, LSU eleven. The math says there
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 5: is no way that all four of those teams can
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 5: stay in the top eleven.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's no way.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: There are no ties in college football anymore, as we
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: know still are in the NFL.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: There was a tie the other night in preseason. Did
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: you see that? I miss that. I don't don't I
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: don't watch love preseason. Is it the colch Patriots. There
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: was a tie. That's why I don't watch the preseason.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: Craig Hey, it's still a living, breathing entity in in
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: the regular season.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 2: In the NFL, well, that's Truil. There are still ties.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 5: That's a whole separate discussion. But anyway, it's it's interesting.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 5: It'll be interesting to see when we get to measuring
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 5: stick season, when you have a good body of work
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 5: to compare these schools by, does this original AP ranking
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 5: get reflected in the way teams view a team like
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 5: A and m Ole, Miss Oklahoma or LSU, who are
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 5: starting in the top eleven, who the voters think highly
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 5: of the talent and the roster. But by virtue of
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 5: the SEC's now nine game schedule, you're gonna see one
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 5: of those teams lose three games.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and may still get into the playoff, right,
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: depending on depending on what happens.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: So I'm in agreement with you. I you know, it's
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: it's it's.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: Early days, and I usually say a lot of this
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: is going to sort itself out, you know, Like I said,
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: Texas has Ohio State on the schedule, They've got Oklahoma
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: on the schedule, they have a road game at LSU
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: on the schedule. They have a home game against ole
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: Miss on the schedule.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: They play five of the top eleven. They have a
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 2: road game at A and M on the schedule.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: So that's why, that's why I don't really work up
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: too much about it. And again, if you're a diet
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: in the wood long worn't fan, I completely get it
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: and probably am not in disagreement with you. If by
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: the time the first college Football playoff rankings come out
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: in November, if Texas is unbeaten, meaning by then they
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: will have beaten Ohio State, Oklahoma, and ole Miss just.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: To name those three.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: And if they're still like number five, number four, you know,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: if they still are, then then I think you have
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: a point.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: They will be.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 5: Well, so they will be if they if they beat
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 5: all those teams and then drop a game.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: Because the AP voters love counting the lost.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: Column, yeah, they do, absolutely, And that's that zero something
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: we're talking about.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: But for example, here's what I mean. What I mean.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: Oregon opens with Boise State on the FED. They go
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: to Stillwater where they should beat up on Oklahoma State.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: They have a Friday night game against Portland State, and
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: before November, they do have that road game at USC
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: there is that, then they have UCLA at home.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 2: Nebraska at home could.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: Be tricky going to Illinois in late October, and then
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: and in order, so the first rankings I think would
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: come out before their game in Columbus at Ohio State
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: on November seventh.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: Those first rankings have come out before then, right, So
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 2: what are you going to evaluate that on? Exactly?
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: So, if let's say they're unbeaten in Texas is unbeaten
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: before that Ohio State game in the rankings come out,
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: if Texas is behind Oregon, then you have a case
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: those of you are arguing about it, because Texas will
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: have had three top ten wins at that point.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: Of course, three.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: Top ten wins didn't get them in the playoff last
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: year they had three blocks.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: You're right, though, Craig, I mean bookmark this.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 5: That will be the proof in the pudding for folks
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 5: that say the AP pole has influence, or we could
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 5: be talking about this as a completely irrelevant conversation.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: That's why I say, don't get too worked up about
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: it right now. Number five and the AP number four
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: in the coaches zero first places votes surprised me yeah, yeah,
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: especially since what Notre Dame drew six and they're in
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: the number four spot in the ATAM. Now, Indiana got
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: a first place votes and a lot of and A
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: they're really really good. B they get Ohio stayed at home.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: And see in the minds there's a lot of old
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: school people. This is more evident in the coaches that
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: you're you're the champ till somebody beat you.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well why not? Why not trust Kurt Signetty. We
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: just saw him do it.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: Last year, right, and we'll see what he can do
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: with Josh Hoover this year as opposed to Fernanda Mendoza,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: so that that's a big part of it.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and the losses for them up front are a
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 5: big part, right exactly, and the secondary.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, We've got more coming up when we
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: continue here on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred, The Zone
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: and the IHEARTRADIOU.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I always liked Jeopardy.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: I always liked this show.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 5: Well, I'll be a fan of it for my entire
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 5: life because Allison has played on it twice.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: Oh that's right, you told me about that. I remember that.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: That's great. The reason why We bumped back with this.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: Obviously, we had that trivia question last hour about Texas
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: winning a bowl game to complete Mac.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: Brown's first season, and.
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: I said it was a team on the Texas schedule
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: this season, so the first correct answer would win a
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: copy of Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine. I didn't think
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: we'd have such a variety of responses, but here's a couple.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: For example, Craig, is Riley be out of here in Taylor, Texas?
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 7: That would be Missouri.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: It would not be Missouri Riley and Riley. Remember, you're
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: not eligible. You've already won Double Bot one. You can't
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: win again, you know what, can't win again inside of
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: thirty days. But you can play for fun, but you
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: can't win. Yes, that's right, You're welcome to play, you
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: just can't collect the prize. After that, somebody else had
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: a different idea, right.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 3: Craig, Way, that would be the Texas A and M.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: Haggis no non Texas A and M. Remember that was
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: a comp.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 5: Friends, That was a you need to hook up, get
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 5: the hook up for that.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: Can't hook at. Texas A and M was a conference.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: In fact, it was the game Texas played before this
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 1: ball game Chris Stockton the walk off field goal. They
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: won twenty six to twenty four. Ricky Williams broke the
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: college football all time rushing record in that game. It
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: was the next game after and it was a bowl game.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: And we did get the correct response on the next person.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 3: This is Robert Baker. The answer is Mississippi State.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: Very you did win, Robert, So congratulations Mississippi State coached
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: by Jackie Cheryl, and Texas won that contest.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: I score thirty eight to eleven.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: Ricky Williams had a final big game as a collegiate
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 1: on that So, Robert, you'll win a copy of Dave
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: Campbell's Texas Football Maxine. And did we get the caller
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: the random winner in the four o'clock hour on the
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: fourth I think.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: It was on the fourth call. We were doing that
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: for this for this four o'clock hour on the magazine?
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: Do we not? Do we not get that?
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: We may have got wet to look it back up
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: and see you've got it somewhere.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll have to. I'll have to check the off
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 5: to check it out. The grid that's right, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 5: check the grid.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: I forgot about that, Okay, Now back to Brian Shotneiner,
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys head coach, was asked to evaluate his quarterbacks.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: And of course, remember Dak Prescott did not play in
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: the win on Saturday, Uh, but he did see both,
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: uh Joe Milton and Sam Howell play.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: So how about his review.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 10: It's hard to speak on quarterbacks when you don't watch
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 10: the film, but both guys function upstanding. You know, they
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 10: both were tasked with going out there and playing against
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 10: heavy pressure. You know, a Mike McDonald aidender day. You know,
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 10: defense is going to be a heavy pressure team. And
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 10: they brought a bunch of things against us that, you know,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 10: not that we weren't prepared for, but that maybe we
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 10: didn't handle very well. So they were taking some shots,
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 10: but they just hung in there and made the throws
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 10: when they had to make them. And they were both
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 10: very efficient, you know, and that's what we want, you know,
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 10: we want to we evaluate quarterbacks, but a couple of things,
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 10: one moving the team scoring points and then to protecting
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 10: the football.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: And I thought both guys did that.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 10: Joe with his legs, I mean, you know, he's pretty
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 10: much unstoppable on quarterback sneaks, and uh so it didn't
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 10: take me long to figure out that I wasn't gonna
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 10: do anything different.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: I was gonna let him sneak it. And uh, you know,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 2: a big, powerful man. But they both played well, all right.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: And then one about the running back position.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: Is it difficult to evaluate the running back spot when
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: the offensive line didn't get quite the push he wants
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: to see?
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean you know you got to you gotta
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 10: get what was blocked. And again I thought all of
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 10: our guys ran hard. I mean, give it up from
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 10: Elie Davis. I mean, you know, just the holiday horror.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 10: I mean, it just it wasn't a it was a
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 10: Holida day. All day was a holiday.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: But I mean he's.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 10: Amazing Christmas Day, Thanksgiving Day, whatever.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 2: The day is, fourteenth August. I love that. I love
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: that guy.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we'll be back to wrap up today's
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: edition of the program. I'm thirteen under the Zone.
