• 2:03
  Speaker 1: It's the Writer's Roundtable for a Monday brought to you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: by Intec and First Financial Bank.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Guys, I like this A & M defense right now.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you think.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But, I mean, I realize they gave– I get that. But, hey,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: when you get two pick sixes in a game, you're
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: doing okay.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Okay. And what are their problems? See, they hadn't gotten
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: turnovers in the last few years.
• 2:29
  Speaker 8: No, but I'm kind of concerned you give one guy
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: 200 yards that's... You're talking about the receiver?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. He was good. Reed Harris is still open somewhere.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I know, he was good. He's over in England right now.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: So is Jeremiah Smith, by the way.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, sometimes you get beat, and I'm
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: not defending giving up 200 yards to.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: A receiver, but.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I feel like this guy's going to play at the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: next level, and he's going to do this to a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: lot of teams this year. And a lot of those
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: 200 yards are negated by the fact that you had
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: two pick sixes.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: I get that. You're not always going to get that.
• 3:03
  Speaker 9: I tell you what, that pick six couldn't have come
• 3:06
  Speaker 9: at a better time right after the punter drops the ball.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Yep, absolutely. I mean, I have done that as a punter.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: There's nothing worse.
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: It's such an easy. And the ball was a little
• 3:16
  Speaker 9: to his left, but he has to make that catch.
• 3:18
  Speaker 9: I remember the last game.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I ever played. It was like a high school football game.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I'm punting, and we've got this game wrapped up, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I just dropped the stinking ball.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I was like, how do you do that i mean
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: i make that catch a hundred thousand times and then
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: people drop the ball every every game i watch.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah well i mean he bailed him out like.
• 3:37
  Speaker 9: He did next play he did because there was about
• 3:40
  Speaker 9: to be a big old momentum shift yeah you're right.
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: They show white all the way in the camera because
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: he's down you know this is a turning point and
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: then yes before he could even say oh crap uh
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: it's going the other way and it's pretty funny but
• 3:53
  Speaker 8: What's funny today about today's football, Chip, when you said
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: that guy will play on Sundays, I think in the
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: Power Four conferences, the way it is, everybody has about
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: three or four that should play in the next level
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: since you're paying them already to be an NFL salary.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: And you know what?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: That's going to make, and we've already seen it, it
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: is going to be crazy. And I don't think, I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: think going forward, as long as this system's in place,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and as a fan, I'm going, hey, sign me up,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you know, because I think there's going to be a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: lot more Oklahoma State's beating Oregon's.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: And I just, because as you mentioned, Cease, this quarterback
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: at OSU, he can play for anybody, right? Including the NFL.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: He can play, yes. Here's the deal. North Texas. North
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Texas kid, yeah.
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: I was listening to you coming in, and I chuckled
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: when you said, and everybody's saying this, this is why
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: you love college football. Not if you're from Oregon or
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: Oklahoma this week.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: No.
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: And then what happens is, are we going to see
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: these games? Because you hit it in the head.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: If you watch that Sarkissian, if they lose that game. Oh,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: my gosh.
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: If Manning and Sarkissian, the way he acted after the game,
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: if he lose, you can't tell me he wasn't feeling
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: the pressure.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Wait a second. You said if you're from Oklahoma.
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: If you're from Oklahoma and you like Oklahoma State, it
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: was the perfect weekend.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So I texted a friend, and she reminded me of that.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: It's like, hey, and Oklahoma loss. Because she had gone
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to Texas and Oklahoma State, so it was a great
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: weekend for her. And I wasn't even thinking of it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: She goes, and Oklahoma loss.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I go, oh, what a weekend.
• 5:32
  Speaker 9: Hey, you know, go back to the two pick sixes.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: A & M did a great job of creating things.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: And the Sam in Pimba, is that how you– Yes, yes. Yeah,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: he was terrific.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: That punch was, I mean, perfect. He created 94 on
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: pro football focus, by the way. Man, it was just–
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, the punch was perfect. You could not have
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: hit the ball better than what he did.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And that's why you're trained, right? Yeah, exactly. That's why
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: you practice. A & M generated those turnovers. Yes, they did. Which, again,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: we have not seen that much of late.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Ten last year. Ten turnovers this whole year. And I've–
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I thought T.J. Searcy, and he talked about him today,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I thought he was the best player on defense personally
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: on Saturday.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: He was terrific.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: I think A & M' s defensive line is a lot
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: better than the offensive line.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: No doubt.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And we'll see how it goes.
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: No doubt.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: And it's also deeper than I think.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: But once again, it's hard to judge. The linebackers have
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: been good.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Hard to judge.
• 6:23
  Speaker 10: It is.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It is. This is always overreaction Monday. And here's the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: deal is the way the schedule set up. I feel
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: this is really a and M's first game, the second game,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: because Mississippi state, Missouri state was just a scrimmage. Yes.
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: Now interested to see what adjustments they make on the quarterback,
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: what adjustments they make on, on everything else on running
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: the ball.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Well, I will say this.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Kentucky was really good in the first half. Now they, that, that, Crowd,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: they were lit up on Saturday. They had Alabama in,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and normally, and that tells me a couple of things, Cees.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Number one, when Alabama's coming to town, you just know
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you're going to get your butt whipped, right?
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: And the crowd is not that. No, I'm serious. You're right.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And now, this is what it's changed. People know they
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: have a shot to get Alabama now, right? And Kentucky,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: with a brand-new team, a brand-new coach.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: They were lit up. And you know what?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Kentucky gave them reason to be throughout the first half
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and into the second half. That game was not dissimilar
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to this A & M game, right? You look at
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the score and you go, well, they wiped them out.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And you go, well, the third quarter, it's a four-point game.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: You know, same thing happened in Lexington. until Alabama's just
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: had more athletes, better defense, got turnovers.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: When you're playing a team like that. Kentucky panicked, too.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're going for it on fourth down. That
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: was stupid. That was dumb. That was a stupid play.
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: I thought it was dumb for Elko to go for
• 7:49
  Speaker 9: that as well. It got bailed out. I did not
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: like that call at all. I didn't like the call.
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: I didn't like A & M going for it. Obviously,
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: they got the penalty that bailed them out.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't like Sark going for it on fourth and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: eight early in the fourth quarter.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I did not either. And he's on his own 35-yard line. Right. Pressure. Pressure.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: You're right, Cease.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, when you saw that release and people are
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: making a thing over this Holly Rowe thing, and it's like, man,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you could see Arch's.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Face, his face, just released, right?
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: And....
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: They've got a gauntlet to go through. And they're not
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: going to go unscathed by any stretch. But that one game.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You're exactly right. You could see that just drain from
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: their faces. It was so intense. I thought the worst
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: call was Ryan Day going for it on fourth down.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: He's got the lead. You can't– don't give the other
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: team– Terrible call. And he ran off tackle.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Terrible.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: You need two yards.
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: And I said to Jessica, we don't want– Pressure. I said,
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: if he already hadn't won a national championship, they'd want
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: to fire him because they were on his butt before
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: he won that. He– He is a terrible play caller.
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: Or whoever's calling him. I mean, that's the best team
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: in the country, I think.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Ohio State is. Oh, that receiver. Oh, my gosh. But,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, Texas outplayed him. Texas outcoached him.
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: In the second half, you talk about coaching matter or whatever.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: In the second half, Texas could do no wrong. Ohio
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: State could do no right. Well, I will say this.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I thought Ohio State got gassed in the fourth quarter.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I think Texas ran almost 40 plays in the fourth quarter, right,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: with all those long drives.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: They were gassed at the end.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Because Texas could not run the football on them again
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: this year in the first half, right?
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: They couldn't, right?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Of course, they didn't have the ball very much because
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: they kept giving it away. But they still couldn't run.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: By the fourth quarter, and especially those last two drives– Man,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: they're gashing them.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And their tongues are hanging out because that heat, you
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: know how hot it was on Saturday.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: And you could tell. They withered. You saw that last
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: night in the NFL game. If you hear the ball,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I don't care what level, if you have double digits,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: you're going to wear down the other team. And guess what?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I think Oregon withered too, guys. They are not used
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: to playing. It was 100 degrees up there too, right
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the afternoon.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: You know what? See, I have to say this.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: When you're down 14 points and you taunt while you're
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: going into the end zone, give me a break, Cowboys.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: That was the stupidest play. Well, I didn't watch it,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: so I don't know. That shows you what's wrong. Williams,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: the running back, they're down 14 points. Cowboys, you're talking
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: about the Cowboys. Cowboys, yeah. He's going into the end zone.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: He shoves the ball towards the defender. Did he get
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: a flag?
• 10:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: And then they missed the extra point because they had
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: to do it 15 yards. 47-yard extra point. You know what? Karma, baby.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: The Cowboys deserve to lose that game. Well, you talk
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: about people not having discipline. Same old Cowboys. It's just unbelievable.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: You want to say something about that? Same crappy Cowboys.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I've already seen your text. You almost want to fire
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: somebody in that. When you go like, really?
• 11:00
  Speaker 10: Really? Yeah.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: You just gave away a point. I waited seven months
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: for this?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I rewatched. No, I didn't rewatch.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I watched games that I missed on yesterday because I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: typed a bunch of games, right?
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Because I knew I couldn't see all of them. I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: knew I was going to be at the game. I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: knew I was going to see some of the games.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I watched a lot of college football.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: While I'm thinking about it, let's do this. I mentioned
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: it in the first hour. They moved Texas up to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: number one. In my mind, I said this last week,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I know they haven't played anybody yet. The best team
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I've seen so far this year is the Miami Hurricanes.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: They are the best college football team I've seen.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen them, sir. But they've got talent. We
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: know they've got talent. And Georgia would be number two.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And if you want to put Texas at three, I
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: won't argue with you, but you can throw about three
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: or four other teams in that mix. You know, Ohio
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: State is still right, I think, is still right there,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: especially with that quarterback and that receiver. They're going to
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: cause problems. They've got a good run back.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's okay. I don't think he's great. They've got
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: line to go with it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: But, you know, they're obviously going to be good. Now
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that I've seen Oregon play, I think they play Oregon
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: on their schedule.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: That was going to be a big game. I'll tell
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: you what, if I'm an Oregon fan, I'm a little
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: bit concerned. Oh, I'm real concerned.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Because remember, we talked about how– But I do think
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Boise is still good.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: What did we do? We give Boise State credit for
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: playing Oregon. We did.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: We did.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: But Oklahoma State had lost, what, 12 straight Division I games?
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I would have taken– They are on the schedule?
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Oregon plays Ohio State November 7th. Okay, later in
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: the season. We were talking about– I was talking with
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: a friend of mine who's an Oregon guy, right?
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I go, you can name your score this week, right?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, Oklahoma State's terrible.
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: And then to see that, like, unbelievable. But you know what?
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Guess what? They have a quarterback. Yeah.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: And that's what, coming in, you know, you looked at
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the spread, go 14, you know, but that kid was
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: better than I expected him to be for the most part.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: I know he threw two pick sixes.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give A & M defense a little
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: credit for that. It wasn't like he just threw it
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: right to the guys. They had to make the play.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: He was pretty good. We've already said that receiver's pretty good.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: The running back broke one long play, I think, Cease. Yeah.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: But they weren't... You know, Bowley's got a history of
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: being great, then all of a sudden it turns. Yeah, yeah.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: And he got hit, and the ball went up in
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: the air. That's a fluke. Well, you can't give away
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: four turnovers. You can't give away... I don't care who
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: you are. Exactly. Unless you're SMU in Florida State. You know, I'm.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Watching, and I think... You know, this Arizona State is
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a good team, particularly in offense.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I think they're pretty decent.
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: And I was impressed how their defense flied the ball
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: and they had a lot of energy.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, they did. That coach did a play for them.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Yes, he did.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: But how good are they? I don't know.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I don't either.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: That Julio Humphrey catch was unbelievable. He was good, right?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: That guy was a great catch. Oh, yeah. I mean,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I don't see how he did it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: I went back and watched that over and over again.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's skill-wise right there. Put
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: the foot down, just da-da-da-da. Pretty amazing.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the offensive line season, and you wrote a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: column about that, I think, today, about your concern for
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: that and how that's going to have to pick up.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: Well, you look at what's happened when I turn things around.
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: The year they were 8-5, they were still able to
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: run the ball, and they wouldn't have been 8-5 if
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: Moss wouldn't have got hurt. You remember he got hurt.
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: He's going to get 1,000 yards against South Carolina. They
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: go down. The offensive line, all those guys came back
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: the next year. Zune, Adams, whatever. And the offensive line
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: was really good last year. And I don't expect this
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: offensive line to be as good as last year.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: If it is, then better for A & M. But
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: I think everything around them is better. I spent three
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: quarters going, how in the world is A & M leading?
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: I'm with you. It wasn't clean and it wasn't pretty
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: for three quarters.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, for three quarters, the best weapon A &
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: M had was stupid mistakes by Arizona State.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Yes. Penalties and the muff punt. And, you know, I mean,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: they gave A & M every opportunity. They did. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: finally in the fourth quarter, A & M just said,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: all right, fine, you're going to give us opportunities. We'll
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: take it.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're going to have to be better. I don't
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: think anybody thinks otherwise, right?
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: It was Mona Lisa for a quarter, but it was
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: not a work part for three quarters.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: No, it wasn't great.
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: I was impressed Arizona State seldom came in and ran
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: three and punted. They picked up first downs.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: They did.
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: That little deal where they faked the running back. froze everybody,
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: and then he hit the wide-open receivers. And A &
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: M never really adjusted until the second half.
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: I thought A & M was being outcoached for three quarters, too.
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: I mean, I thought that, you know.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I'm with you. And their offense did so well.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: When you looked at it, they come in and it
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: looked like A & M' s defense was tentative. And any
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: time you're tentative on either side of the ball, there's
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: too many good athletes out there. And if– Arizona State
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: wouldn't have fumbled that punt, that first punt. You talk
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: about one key play because they were picking up yards.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: 92 yards rushing, generally speaking. That was their net rushing
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the ball. See, she wrote about this. It's 2.6 average,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: 10 yards from the Tyler White fumble.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: You know, that took away rushing. Along with two kneel downs. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: But what I found that was interesting, and I didn't
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: have time to expound on it, do you realize, looking
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: at their games last year, almost all, all games for
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: A & M was in the high 60s in snap.
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: You know, how many snaps do you get? And they
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: had 60. And, you know, that's not a lot, but
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: there's not a lot in the game if you have
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: these 10-play possessions because the clock runs. And now it's
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: kind of interesting. It's not what you do because Miami
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: only needed 45 plays to beat A & M.
• 16:51
  Speaker 9: You had two pick sixes and then a five-yard drive.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I mean, that's why you have so few plays.
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: But then they didn't have that many either. It's just
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: like– You can make stats do anything. That's one thing
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: I want to get at.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: 60 plays, and Arizona State had, let me see, 29-30.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: They had 63 plays. Yeah, mostly during the 60s. It's amazing.
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: It's what you do with those snaps. It gets back
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: to what can you do? A & M at first. And,
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: you know, we talk about this a lot. Wiggins is
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: still settling in to be an offensive coordinator. I mean,
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: I'm not saying he called a bad game or a
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: good game. They just were discombobulated. And I definitely thought
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: Marcel Reed was just average. I didn't think he had
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: a great game.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I thought he was average, too.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: He did not.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: You look at all these things, because I love that
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: new freshman running back. He comes in. He looks like
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: he could run forever.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Edwards? I really like those freshmen running back. Both of them.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Much more so than the veteran. I like the way
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Edwards runs over Owens. That's what I'm saying. Those guys
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: are better than Owens, I believe. But the deal is, all.
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: The pieces are there. And I'm thinking, why is A
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: & M so good on defense? Because their defensive line's
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: that good. On A & M on offense, I'm waiting
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: for that offensive line. I think that holds the key.
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: Because when you go on the road, boy, it's tough to.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Win on the road. Those two freshmen have breakaway ability.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I don't think Owens does. He falls down a lot.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: He runs so hard sometimes.
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: There was a play during that game where I was like,
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: I mean, if he had a little bit more– he
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: would have broken that thing wide open and instead he
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: got six yards. He just doesn't have that breakaway home
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: run threat.
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: And, you know, like I said, they played one game,
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: and I think Arizona State's a good team. We'll know
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: a little more this week because I want to see
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: what adjustments they make because I think, you know, Elko.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Plus, it's an SEC game. You know, Elko talked about that.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Everything changes Saturday night. It does.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: I want to see them hammer Kansas.
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: I want to see everybody hammer Kansas after that stupid
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: social media thing.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: That was stupid. Who approved that? The stupid slavery stuff?
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: It was stupid. Oh, gosh.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: It was crazy.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: But I will say this, guys. I said it before.
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: What?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: The new college football, the worst thing that's happened is
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: we've done away with a lot of these rivalries. We
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: saw it for 13 years around here. These rivalries aren't playing,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and the fact that Missouri and Kansas aren't playing now scheduled,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I think, for another six or whatever years, that is
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: tragedy because there is no deeper hatred, hatred, You can
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: talk about A & M in Texas all you want,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: but it does not go back.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: To the Civil War, okay?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: This goes back 200 years almost to the Civil War,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: They're still fighting the Civil War in Missouri and Kansas.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Those fan bases are still fighting it. That video that
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: surfaced that they put out, Rusty.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: I loved Eli Dreekwitz. Oh, he was great. He was fantastic.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: He was fantastic afterward. He's like, hey, you know, it's 9-11.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: We need unity. He's like, I don't care if we
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: ever play them again. He's like, you know what? I
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: tried to embarrass them because they embarrassed themselves. Yeah, yeah.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Good for him. No, it was awesome.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Eli's not a loss for us. But I sure wish
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: they'd play again.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I'm just glad Missouri beat them. It was stupid. And
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: I hope Arizona State hammers them in England. Yeah, this week,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Arizona State didn't go home. They flew to England. To England,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: to the pond. What about their classes? Classes?
• 20:36
  Speaker 11: What?
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Are we talking about classes? Come on, man. It's hot.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: They're all student athletes. I have these moments. It gets
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: so hot out there, you know. 92 yards rushing. Yeah.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Got to be better.
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: Got to get up about 120 because they got all
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: the– their wide receivers are so good because I think
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: Phil Horton was a great add. He fills in for Concepcion.
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: Bossy is playing a lot better than he played last year. Craver,
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: they probably didn't use him enough. When you have those options.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: He was targeted five times, and you're right.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of different weapons, but I would like
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: to see him targeted at least ten times a game.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I'd actually like to see him get ten touches a
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: game because he's electric, and I don't think we've seen...
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: And again... I started to say we haven't seen enough
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: of it. They couldn't save anything Saturday. It was a
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: four-point game. Like you said, Rusty, they were in danger
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: of losing that game for three quarters. Early in the
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Had they gotten that punt, had they marched
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: in there, who knows what the game turns out.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Cause you're at home. You're supposed to win. You're supposed
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: to win easily. I want to see Mario Craver touch
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: ball 10 times. I do too. I mean, he nearly
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: busted that one punt return. Um, I like the little
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: inside handoff to him. He got the first down on
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: that little inside.
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: Other than the drop punt, they're good on special teams.
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: The field goals are finally a given inside the 40.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about what's going to happen.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: That was nice to see.
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: They have a lot of the ingredients. I'm just hung
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: up about the offensive line.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I want to see what happens.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: I don't think, and I've heard it said many, many
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: times by many coaches, You cannot microwave an offensive line.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: It has to gel. It takes time to gel. I
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: believe that. Four newcomers. Did you ask?
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Somebody asked about that today, Cease. Everybody asked about it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't ask questions. I just waited and listened because
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I knew everybody was going to ask about the offensive line.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: About getting better, right.
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: And, you know, a lot of people, let's face it,
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: the media is always, you know, the coaches in waiting.
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: You have to ask yourself if indeed– Naboo is the
• 22:54
  Speaker 8: best lineman, would be better suited at guard or tackle. Now,
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: Cushing gets paid a lot. He's the old line coach.
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: But if you have who's your best player, where do
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: you put them? Like you said, Jalen, sometimes maybe you
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: move one guy here and one guy there, and suddenly
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: they play a lot better. I don't know if that's
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: the case, but it'll be interesting to see moving forward
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: what they do.
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: You know, I watched some of that Alabama-Kentucky game, and
• 23:16
  Speaker 9: it was a tale of two halves right there.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: No doubt. Same kind of game.
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: So Alabama had five yards rushing at about the half, right?
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: They ended up with 155 yards rushing.
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: Do you realize in their last three games last year,
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: they rushed for like.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: 28, 23, and minus three. Couldn't run the ball.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: They had less than 50 yards in three games combined.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Couldn't run the ball. And then they ran for five
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: yards in the first half. Alabama is soft. I never
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: thought I would say that.
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: Here's what happened, Rusty, is the new way– Nick Saban
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: had prayed all Americans waiting to play in the offensive line.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right.
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: Now with NIL, they go, oh, I can get half
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: a million dollars and I can go play in Penn State.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: I'm out of here.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Who cares about Alabama? Nick Saban took a really good
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: time to leave.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I was talking to my family about this last night.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: We were discussing this, and he knew. He saw it
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: coming because he's very smart. He knew what it was
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: going to do. He knew that he was no longer
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: going to be able to dominate because of the money.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Because that's what he said.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: He has everybody in right to talk about the season.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And right before he retired, he has his whole team
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: in and every player. He said every player asked, what
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: are you going to do for me? He said, that's
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: when I knew it was time to quit because it
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: was widely known and publicly. that players were coming there
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: and getting the, quote, Nick Saban discount because they knew.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: They were going to the NFL.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: And that's what he did. He turned out NFL players.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: And now it's like, hey, I can go to the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: NFL and go play at UC Davis if they give
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: me enough money.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: I like his commercials now. I mean, I really do.
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: Exactly.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: This is a very talented guy. He's building his own shelves.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: You know what? I wouldn't put it past him.
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: They can get NFL money right now by just switching schools.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I don't need Nick Saban.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: But, I will say again, it's going to be a wild,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: crazy season. In two weeks, we've already seen what can
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: happen and what's going to happen, it's going to be nuts.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like that Oklahoma State game. What does that
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: rank on your all-time upsets? Oh, it's way up there.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Because they just lost to Tulsa. I know. How bad
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: is Oklahoma State? It's Appalachian State, Michigan.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's up there. Oh, I laugh because when
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: you— Or Appalachian State A & M. Ah, you didn't
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: have to go there.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: You look at it two ways. Sorry.
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: Because, you know, when Oklahoma State lost last week to Tulsa,
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: you go, Oklahoma State, when you think they couldn't hit
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: rock bottom, they just did.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: They lost to Tulsa.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: And you're thinking, like, they can't even beat an in-state sister.
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: And then next week, now you've got a top five
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: team coming to town.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, so while we're on Oklahoma State season, you follow
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: this stuff.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma State opened this week.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Did you see this? 57.5 points over Murray State. I
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: have never, and you may have, I don't remember ever
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: seeing a spread at 57.5. See, it's already gone down
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: two points, which, as you know. It means there's been
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of money put on Murray State after that
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: 57-and-a-half came out. It's now 55-and-a-half.
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: It's the way the game's being played because you put
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: your subs in, and they're going to run up the
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: score because they want to throw the ball. They want
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: to catch the ball. They're not there to take the
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: knee and just run off tackle.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't see that anymore.
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: And it's pretty funny because I was reading somebody last,
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: whoever Kent State, I think it is, played in South Carolina,
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: like Kent State, had given up like 50 points or
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: more to like four or five power fours. The guy,
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: people said, just jump all over. And, of course, they
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: ended up losing by that many. I mean, the game
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: is just played. No one goes, oh, I'm going to
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: take the knee. We're just going to run straight in it. No,
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: you're going to put points up. But 57 and a half.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: That's a lot.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I don't bet, and there's a reason for that. But
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I would have seen that. That would have tempted me.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: And I know that's why they put the line out there.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: That's why the line's out there.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: So you will bet.
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: And I chuckled when you talked about the money coming
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: in on the money line. For Oregon, a lot of
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: big gamblers say, oh, you know, hey, I'm only going
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: to get like X amount back on my $ 10, 000.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: But it's a sure thing. I don't have $ 10, 000. How
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: many people lost $ 10, 000 and $ 100, 000?
• 27:55
  Speaker 13: 95%.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable. That's amazing. But like you said, that's why we
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: love college football.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: The reason Aggie fans are so happy right now is
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: they've covered two weeks in a row.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: They've not only won. Yes, they have. But they've covered
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: two weeks in a row. It's 15-16, I think I saw.
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Right at 15 or 16 with Kentucky.
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: It's the world of the NIL because everyone knows, even
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: the players know what the line is.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: There are some really good games coming up this weekend, though.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: There really are. We've got a few. We'll talk about
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: some of that. 16 and a half.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: 16 and a half right now with Kentucky. Stay tuned
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: for Chip Howard's line. That's two more than it was
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: against Arizona State. Hey, Lake Walk development is going on.

  Speaker 1: It's the Writer's Roundtable for Monday. Brought to you by
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: First Financial Bank and InTech.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: LSU Ole Miss this week. Is it going to get
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: better than that?
• 32:33
  Speaker 10: Maybe.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I think SMU and Louisville is going
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: to be really entertaining. Oh, I think that's going to
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: be a good game.
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Entertaining game.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: There's not going to be as much hatred. Let's talk
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: LSU Ole Miss first. Yeah. You know, you get concerned
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: because fans being fans and this game being at night
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: and there's already a lot of alcohol involved.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: They have alcohol in Mississippi? Oh, man. The Grove? Moonshine, man.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: They got good stuff. There's two places that stick out
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: to me for drinking. Okay. LSU?
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: No, no.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: LSU, okay, three.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: But Bush Stadium in St.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Louis, I've never seen so much beer consumed before, during,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and after any game in my life, ever.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Well, it's named after a beer. I understand.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: They come by it honestly. The Grove at Ole Miss, oh,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: my gosh. And they have those rules. Everything's got to
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: be in a solo. There's some weirdest drinking rules I've
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: ever seen in the city of Oxford, right? Right.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: And at the game.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: But it is crazy the amount of alcohol that's available there.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: And they're going to have all day. It's going to
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: be a night game. The emotions are really, really, really high.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: And you just, you hope that cooler heads prevail, right?
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not predicting anything. I don't want to
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: see anything ugly, but you just, all the ingredients are
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: there for things to get ugly. And if LSU were
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: to get a big lead or something in that game,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just, I'm seriously concerned about what could happen at
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: that game Saturday night.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's a good point.
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: You would hope that, I mean, the best thing that
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: could happen for an Ole Miss fan.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Is to win. No doubt. Just win the game. No doubt.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: He's gone. He ain't coming back.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: And you don't want him back because he chose LSU
• 34:29
  Speaker 9: over your school.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: So just beat him. And then dissed you on the
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: way out the door. Yeah.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of emotion in that game. And
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I saw LSU as an early three-point favorite in that game.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I thought it might be the other way just because
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: the home field. Because we've seen Ole Miss win some
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: games at home that they wouldn't have won anywhere else.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: Historically, they have.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: I think one year they beat LSU. What was the score?
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: It was unreal. And Alabama a couple of times. And Alabama.
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: That being said, you'd think Kiffin would be smart enough
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: not to go to the Grove four hours at a
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: time and see his buddies.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: He's probably not going to do that. That's what I'm guessing.
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: But if one guy can handle that circus on the
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: other side, it's Kiffin.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: I think he thrives on it. He's going to love it.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I think he thrives on it. I tell you why
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I like Ole Miss. Not only the emotion, but sometimes
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: there can be too much of that. But I still
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: love the quarterback. I think Levitt's going to have a
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: rough time. I think he will. I still love the quarterback.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: I'm with you.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, when in doubt. Okay, you mentioned
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: SMU Louisville, Rusty. I think that's going to be a
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: highly entertaining, high-scoring football.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: Of course, I saw Louisville and Ole Miss play, and
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: that was a really entertaining game.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: What's the spread on that? It is minus one and
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: a half. By who? Probably Louisville. Oh, Louisville is favored
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: by a point and a half. Okay.
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: Man.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: I think that's going to be a heck of a
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: football game. Well, Louisville really impressed me when they played
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss. They did.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: And that quarterback in the second half, he got better.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: He showed he can play, right? We know the SMU
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: quarterback can play, but he gives the ball away.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's turnover prone.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's very turnover prone. But he's also prone to make.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Up for those turnovers. He takes chances. He does. That's
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: how he scores. Houston, Texas Tech.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: And love it.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised to see.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: We know that's a hard place to play. But I
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: think this is an afternoon game. Would you check that
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: for me? I also think it is an afternoon game. Okay,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: so Houston got a break on that.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: It's a Friday night game. Oh, it is night game.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: It's Friday night? Yeah, Friday night. That's a hard place
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: to play. In the fact that Tech's coming off a
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: poor outing. Tech was not impressive to me. So I
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: think Tech will be out to prove.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Do you know that's the first non-conference road game Texas
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Tech has won in like seven or eight years? Really?
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: I don't believe it.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because their schedule has always been directional schools at home,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: their non-conference schedule. They hadn't won a non-conference road game
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: since 2017, I believe. And they almost lost that one
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: to a really, really average or below Oregon State. Without
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: a doubt, Oregon State's not that good. So they did
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: not impress me. Without a doubt, not that good.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Their quarterback did not impress me. So Miami plays Friday night, too.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: They play at Wake Forest. That's their second Friday night game. See,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: people are missing out on Miami. Did y'all happen to
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: see Purdue in Wake Forest? No, but I saw that online.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, Purdue fans are celebrating because they think they
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: won the game.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Right, right.
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: And then Wake Forest gets the first down. They go
• 37:33
  Speaker 9: back and they review the first down.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: That was overtime, wasn't it?
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was.
• 37:37
  Speaker 9: It turned out to be overtime, two overtimes. It was overtime,
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: second overtime. And they thought they got it even short
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: of the first down. Matter of fact, they ruled it first,
• 37:45
  Speaker 9: short of the first down. They got it right when
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: they reviewed it. And then saw all those fans who
• 37:50
  Speaker 9: had been cheering and, you know, Purdue's first win.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, we've got to get used to
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: this this year. I'm just telling you. It's going to
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: be wild. I'm waffling on Houston and Texas Tech. I
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: love Willie Fritz. I think Wegman is a better quarterback
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: than Texas Tech has right now. I was astonished because
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Tech's defense is supposed to be what they're hanging their
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: hat on. I'm telling you, Oregon State has an NFL player.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: This freshman kid, Legree, caught like 240 yards worth of
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: passes on Saturday. I mean, they could not cover him.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Wow. Could not cover him. Yeah.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Well, he has to stay. He can't go to the NFL,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: but he won't be at Oregon State.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: By the way. He'll be making a lot of money.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Talk about drinking places. They do some drinking in Lubbock.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: They do a little.
• 38:42
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they do a little drinking in Lubbock.
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: At night.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: It's a night.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Game, but it is on Friday. But that won't matter.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: That will be drinking all day in Lubbock on Friday anyway.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Even though you have to go outside the city limit.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: That's why you text it like a 7.5 point favorite
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: in that game. Something like that. I may have to...
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: They opened at 12.5 and now it's 7.5. Wow! I
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: think that's because of text. Mattress Mac.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I think it's the Tech-Oregon State game.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you're right.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, you watch that game and you're going, they're
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: not as.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Good as I thought they were. I wouldn't touch that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: But again, it's only game two. I know. It's only
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: game two.
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: You know another good game that is underrated is BYU
• 39:29
  Speaker 9: and Colorado State.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: I didn't know Colorado State was good. But they always
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: play well against BYU.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Did Colorado and Colorado State play this year? Because I've
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: always loved that game, too. Yeah. They don't like each other.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: They don't like each other. It's always an underrated game.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: They do not play. Oh, man. That's a shame. Save
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: it for the playoffs.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: All right, we're going to take a break. It's the

  Speaker 15: Corey Seager got the scoring kicked off early with a
• 41:28
  Speaker 15: two-run homer in the first inning.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: And to the plate, and there's a swing and a
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: blast deep right center field. This one's way back, and
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: that one is history.
• 41:37
  Speaker 15: Call courtesy of Eric Nadel and the Rangers Radio Network.
• 41:41
  Speaker 15: Arizona would cut the lead in half in the fourth,
• 41:44
  Speaker 15: but the Rangers went on to score four unanswered runs
• 41:47
  Speaker 15: in the fifth and sixth innings. Arizona would manage to
• 41:50

  Speaker 15: Rangers held on to win their first road series since June.
• 41:56

  Speaker 3: Love is a burden. That's the great John Arkash.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: It is the Writer's Roundtable for a Monday. Aggie football,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: college football on the bill. A lot of things happening
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: and a little better slate of games this week. I
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: tell you, I played some Eric Morris, the Oklahoma State coach,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: in his postgame, watched his postgame. Really impressed just with
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: his demeanor. after winning such a huge game. It wasn't
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: anything like Sarkeesian, by the way. He was calm. He
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: was collected. He said, look, we were really, really hard
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: on them after last week. He said, you know, as
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: hard as I've ever been. And he said, guess what?
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: They did respond the right way. And he said, so
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: now we know how we're going to coach this team.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: And I love that.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: He said, I know how this team is going to
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: respond now, and this is how we're going to coach
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: going forward. And I don't know if Oklahoma State's any good.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I really don't. But I know they have a quarterback.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: I know they have a shot to win most of
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: the games.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, when he was, what he did
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: at North Texas Impressive. Impressive, yeah.
• 44:05
  Speaker 8: And then when I took like 20 players with him,
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: I said, oh, that's going to be a big improvement.
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: Then they lay a neg against Tulsa, and I just
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: basically mentally turned them off.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: No doubt, cross them off, right?
• 44:16
  Speaker 8: But they're at Kyle Field watching. They go, look what
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: Oklahoma State's doing. And I go, holy cow.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Actually, they lost to Tulsa. I even said, I mean,
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: how bad? How far rock bottom can they get?
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: But again, they had started that slide under Gundy. And
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: we've talked so often how hard it is to get back.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: And especially for the Oklahoma States of the world. And
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: especially after T.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: Boone died. They don't have his money anymore.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: And they didn't have it about the last two years
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: because Gundy really angered him.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: And it started that kind of slide.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Now, I know there's other oil people in Oklahoma that
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State can use, but I like the hire right now.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: They may be one in ten for all I know
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: when the season's.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: But like I said, if Mestermaker is healthy, they're going
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: to have a shot.
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: Here's the deal. Think about college football today. I think
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: it was like 20 players you brought with them.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Yep, from North Texas. Winning culture in North Texas.
• 45:18
  Speaker 15: Yep.
• 45:19
  Speaker 8: You've got to remember, they came to Oklahoma State to
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: get more money. They got more money. Now, even if
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: they lost that first game. It's just like Curt Cignetti
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: did at James Madison. They lost that first game. They're
• 45:29
  Speaker 8: still really workers. I mean, they're getting paid. And they
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: probably said, hey, you're not earning your money. And I
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: get it. College football is.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: Still in motion when you look at the home crowd.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: That place they say was electric. Oh, I want to
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: speak to that.
• 45:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: And the deal is, but these guys are really professionals.
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: These guys that came from North Carolina State, North Texas,
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: call them a little bit of carpetbaggers. But I give
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: them credit because they come out and they did the job.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: So that's a great point.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm thinking about this when I'm watching games
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: all day and I'm seeing.
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: All these emotions, right? And these are.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: A few of these guys, not all, and I don't
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: want to paint it as all, but a few of
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: these guys are millionaires, right?
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: They're multi-millionaires. There's more than a few.
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: There's more than a few.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: More than a few, yeah. But you look at them
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: and you see how important it is for.
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: Them to win.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Now, they may not be playing for the old hometown
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: team anymore, right?
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: But they're still really passionate about the game, right?
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: And they seem to be passionate mostly about the team
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: that's paying them a lot of money. And, you know,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: as a fan, you look down, if you're losing. What
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: are you going to say? We're paying this guy $ 3 million.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: He's terrible, right?
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: That's what these guys now are going to deal with.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Like you said, Cease, just like professionals. They're going to
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: get booed like professionals because they're professionals.
• 46:54
  Speaker 9: Well, you're watching anymore, and you're like, Isaiah Horton, okay.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: He played for Miami. Oh, he played for Alabama. Now
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: he plays for Texas A & M. It's like boom, boom, boom.
• 47:05
  Speaker 8: But if you're also Horton, think about it. You come
• 47:08
  Speaker 8: to Cal Field. You come to one of the meccas
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: of college football. More than likely, he's going to have
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: a better environment there than he does wherever he gets
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: picked in the NFL. And he's already making NFL money.
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: He's just excited. Think about if he loves the game,
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: there's not a better place to play than Kyle Field.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: And he's making X amount of dollars. This is a
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: great deal for him. Well, yeah, I mean, you've got
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: millionaires all over the field. I mean, it's like guys
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: that are making more than the coaches. I mean, more
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: than the position coaches.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure.
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: Like Smith, he's got to be the highest-paid college football
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: player maybe, and he proved it.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith?
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: Saturday, that guy's a man of my voice. Yeah, they're
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: underpaying him. Somebody else will pay him more if he
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: doesn't make the year left. But you're lucky. But?
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: He dropped two passes in the second half.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, he did. And he didn't do anything in the
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Of course, they didn't throw the ball a lot, but
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: whatever kid that was that they put on him, they
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: found somebody that could give him some problems, finally. Right?
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, but yeah, he's a man.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: I've already said Malachi Toney's already jumped up in my Heisman,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: you know, balloting the first two games. He did nothing
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: last Friday, and I watched him again last Friday night.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: They're playing a terrible team.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: I get it. Terrible team.
• 48:25
  Speaker 8: I'll watch this Harris guy from Arizona State, see what
• 48:28
  Speaker 8: he does in the next five or six games.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Reed Harris was good.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: He may have been the best player on the field.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: Bottom line, as a college football fan.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: T.J.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: Searcy was pretty good Saturday.
• 48:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he was.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of good games out there. We hadn't
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: even really talked about Marcel. I thought he was just
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: pretty average. He was average Saturday. There's no doubt about it.
• 48:48
  Speaker 9: He focuses on his receivers too much. Like that interception
• 48:53
  Speaker 9: first play.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: Out of the half.
• 48:54
  Speaker 9: I mean, he was looking at the receiver the entire
• 48:58
  Speaker 9: way and didn't even see the safety over there.
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: Didn't have good form either. I've got to.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: I've got a theory on Marcel and most college and
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: pro quarterbacks.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: It's a really hard position to play. It is.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: It is a really hard position to play. And one
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: of the reasons it's hard is because we're sitting here
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: on Monday going, you know, you didn't play very well.
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: You need to pick things up.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: I know your team won by 28, but you didn't
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: play very well.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: You're going to have to be better. It is a
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: really difficult.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: But now, again, These guys, if you're playing here or
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: whatever big school in college football, you're going to pay
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of money to produce.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: And that's, you know.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I bet he makes more than you do. Yeah, a
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: little bit more. That's how you're going to be judged.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. I mean, that's just, that is.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: The nature of what we're dealing with today, right? Because
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: you're going to be judged by it. It's like, hey,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: we're paying you not.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: To be judged.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: 15 of 25 or whatever.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: For 163.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: We're paying you to be 20 of 25 for 300.
• 50:07
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: And, you know, again, I don't know. Maybe there were
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: a couple of bad routes run, right? Maybe the guy
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: missed a.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: Block on somebody. Well, he was under pressure. There's no doubt.
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: And luckily, we know Marcel Reed would be the first
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: to tell you he didn't play well.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: You know, the kid, it's hard not to like this kid.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: He's a straightforward guy. He is a high-character kid. The
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: team loves him. That's what you want playing quarterback. That
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: is who you want as your quarterback. And that's who
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: you want representing your university.
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to tell you right now.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: They're going to lose some games this year, and people
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: are going to be pissed off about it. And he's
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: probably going to be right at the top of their
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: target list. But I will tell you again, if I
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: represent that university, I want this kid on my side.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: Here's the deal. Coaches and quarterbacks, they probably get too
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: much blame. And they probably don't get enough credit.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Which is why they make all the money and get
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: all the publicity.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about that defense, too.
• 51:06
  Speaker 9: And I liked Saka almost getting to the quarterback a
• 51:10
  Speaker 9: couple times.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. He's twitchy. Speaking about him, man. He is twitchy.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Man among boys. Yes, he is.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, he is.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: He's a beast.
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to block him. He is twitchy. Was
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: that Pat Forty's list of freaks?
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: Who does the freak list?
• 51:24
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: He was on that list. I'd say, here's $ 1, 000.
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: Go hit the guy beside me.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. He stood out as well.
• 51:33
  Speaker 8: You know, Phil Mickelson used to bet during what the
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: round was going on.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, he bet with everything.
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: If I had a guy like Saka coming over me,
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: I'd say, hey, how much do I got to pay.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: You to go the other side? You don't want to
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: face him. No, he got real close to a couple sacks. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: So I think he's going to get there.
• 51:51
  Speaker 10: Did he?
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: You guys probably didn't watch. You were watching the Rangers.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: You didn't watch any U.S. Open tennis, did you?
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: I did not. Okay. So the great Jimmy Connors was
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: there yesterday.
• 52:00
  Speaker 12: Oh, wow.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: He handed out the trophy. I hadn't seen him in
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: so long. I'm just a huge Jimmy Connors guy because he.
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Was my age. Has he got long hair yet?
• 52:09
  Speaker 11: No.
• 52:10
  Speaker 12: No.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: But he's still got his hair, and he still looks good.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: I had some– we're rocking some glasses, but he looked good.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: But I hadn't seen him in forever. Can he be
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: bored yet?
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: You know, McEnroe is up in the booth, right? Uh-huh.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: And everybody has said they would love to see him
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: back in the game in some form or function.
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: Sure.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Because McEnroe is right in the middle of the game, right?
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: And Andy Roddick. Now, Andy Roddick, you need to listen
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: to him do color in tennis because this guy's a star.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 52:43
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: He's like Romo when he first came up. You understand
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying?
• 52:48
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Everybody's raving about Romo. And Andy Roddick is brilliant as
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: a color analyst.
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: He is really good.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: And what makes, in my opinion, color analysts good, Johnny
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Miller was one of the best ever. He's not afraid
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: to criticize, but he's not doing it just to get headlines.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: He's doing it from a perspective that you look at,
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: and he's doing it matter-of-factly. He's not trying to get
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: clicks or any of that. He's just telling you what happened.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: That's what makes a good color analyst, in my opinion.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: The golfers hated Johnny Miller.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, they did. Because he used the words chose.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Spoke the truth. And he spoke the truth. They hated
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: him because they're used to not getting all of that.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Because all the golf people are.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: Like, oh, this guy's the best, blah, blah, blah. Johnny Miller,
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: come on. He'd tell people what he thought. He's got
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: the hips. Yeah, he's got the yips.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: You brought up a good point. We're going to see
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: Tony Romo this year. He's going to have to sit
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: out a year. I think he's going to sit out
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: a year. I think he'll be at some other network
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: next year. That's what I think. I don't think you're
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: going to see him this year.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: I read his apology. Yeah, I hate it for him.
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: Of course you do.
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: I hate it.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: But, you know, you have to– there's consequences for your actions.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: You have to have consequences. For his family, but he
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: should have hired a driver. Okay.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: That kills me with these guys. Of course, Tiger now
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: has to have a driver for, what, five years? He
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: got his license suspended, I think, for five years. He
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: has to have a driver. These guys, why don't you
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: hire a driver? Now, I know Tiger's cheap. He's notoriously cheap.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: But it's like, hey, get a damn driver, Tiger. Right?
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: And quit drinking so much.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Right. I mean.
• 54:35
  Speaker 8: You see these guys have everything, and you go, like,
• 54:38
  Speaker 8: how could you do that? Well, people can say the
• 54:40
  Speaker 8: same thing about us.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: I think people say that about me every day. What
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: are you talking about, you idiot? I might as well
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: be a quarterback, but I just don't make the money.
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: A quarterback makes. So you're saying, like, Johnny Miller would
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: call out Greg Norman for choking?
• 55:03
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, he would have been Greg Norman's worst nightmare at
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: that Masters.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that.
• 55:08
  Speaker 9: Because Greg Norman choked it off quite a few times.
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: He did. He'd have gray hair. Bless his heart. He did.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: But you know what?
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: I will say this about Greg Norman. No one likes
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Greg Norman. I don't know him, and I don't care.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: But he was always, after a dreadful loss, he was
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: always up front. He would always look in the camera
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: and answer the questions.
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: You know, not too many people do that anymore. Steve
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: Sarkeesian wouldn't do it, and he won the damn game
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: on Saturday night. You're right.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, not everybody has the grace that that guy,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: and he had experience.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: I give you, but you know what? He had the choke, baby.
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: He had the choke. But he had.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: The grace every single time to answer people's questions.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: I like Greg Norman. So I'll always, being in.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: The business, I'll always admire him for that. I don't
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: know what kind of person he is, but for that,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: I'll always admire him.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: I had a couple Greg Norman golf shirts, too.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, a lot of people did, which is why he's
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: living where he is and has the yacht that he
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: does and the toys that he does.
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: And he was a nice guy, and that's part of
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: why he was able to do that. And you know what?
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: They pay second place pretty good money, too. Yes, they do.
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: He made a fortune on that kind of stuff. He
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: made a lot of second place money. And he was
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: a smart businessman. Yes, he was. Gentlemen. We'll have more
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: games to talk about Monday. That's the beauty. I'll have
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: another game under my belt. I'll be better next week.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: I'd like to say I would, but I'm sure I won't.
