  Speaker 1: As we continue to navigate your way through a hump
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: day a yacht rock Wednesday reminder Tonight Texas Women's basketball
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: at seven o'clock from Moody Center, as the Longhorns will
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: be taking on the Jaguars of Southern University. We're gonna
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: hear from Vic Schaeffer. He did his media zoom. It
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: was extensive enough to where we wanted to. We split
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: it up in the parts we're worrying you, one part
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of it coming up in the next segment and then
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: one in the four o'clock hour as well, So we'll
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: do that. Just updating you on a couple of baseball things.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: The Winter meetings are going on a big trade between
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox and the White Sox. See, I don't
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: know that Gene Watson was necessarily playing possum with us
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: on Monday was two days ago, but we'll get into
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: recap it all and it's done. They did send left
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: hander Garrett Crochet to the White Sicks. You know, Crochet
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: was the guy the Dodgers wanted when they made the trade,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that three way trade with the White Socks and the Cardinals,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: which proving to be I'm gonna say in Los Angeles
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Dodger history. One of the greatest trades I've ever made,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the prospects they sent when they got Tommy Evan from
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals. All he did was be the MVP of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the NLCS when they won the Nation League Championship Series.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And then the other guy they got was the closer,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Michael Kopak, and it turned out to be great. Kopek
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: did a heck of a job for them the rest
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of the regular season in the postseason, but that was
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: they took Colepeck because they couldn't get Garrett Crochet and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: they you know, had had to alter their thinking a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: little bit, and so they ended up getting Crochet or
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: did not get him. They ended up getting Copek. And
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: so now the White Sox have traded Crochet to the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Red Sox in exchange for catcher Kyle Teal, outfielder Braden Montgomery,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: remember Braid Montgomery, infielder Chase Maydroth, and right hander this
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: is really his name, Wicklman Gonzalez.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Wickleman Gonzalez is his name.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: So anyway, there's the that's the one big deal that
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: has happened so far. Today, there's a lot of rumor
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: about Nolan Aronado. He may wind up with the Yankees
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: or a couple others. Hey, yeah, happy that Nathan Vivaldi's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: going back to the Rangers.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Three year deal. I am. I think seventy five million.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: That's a little bit over what he was projected to
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: get going into this off season. But hey, he was
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: a huge part of the twenty three year old Series championship.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Excited to have him back in the fold next year.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: How about getting Jake Berger from the Marlins. Rangers got
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: him too. They got him in exchange for two shortstop prospects,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is Dry Vargas and Maxicosta. Uh and Max a Coosta
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: played a round rock, didn't didn't you?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I thought, I remember listening to Brian.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think he was there, Okay, Max Acosta and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a young left handed starting pitcher in Brian Mendoza. Berger,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: who's twenty eight years old, is as controllable as they say.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: For four years, he had sixty three home runs with
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the Marlins and the White Sox over the past two years.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Dude was a Dodger killer.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Every time the Dodgers played the Marlins, Jake Berger was
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: hitting a freaking home run or two.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He was.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: He was something else. So anyway, I think that's a
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: good pick up for the Rangers. Corner endfielder, who can
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: who can belt the ball a little bit. I think
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: that's that's that's pretty good for Texas.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, getting some offensive help for this next year's team
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: is top of the priority list because the offense last
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: year was not great and so improving that, but then
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: their bat is huge.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. A couple of awards.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Now, a long time Cleveland Now Guardians broadcaster Tom Hamilton,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I'm been doing it thirty five years was he won
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the Ford Frick Award. That means he'll be inducted into
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the Baseball Hall of Fame. So congratulate and by the way,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: congratulations my good friend, play by play voice of the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Baylor Bears, John Morris. He was awarded with the Christiankle

  Speaker 1: banquet out in Las Vegas. So congratulations to Jamo. Great
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: well earned and all around great guys as we always know. Okay,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: here's the story that I saved, and I didn't want
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to get into it. I'd originally thought I might put
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it an inconceivable because it's that goofy, but I decided
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: not to it deserved its own special place.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Here's the headline.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Cam flag planting at Ohio State would be a felony
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: under a proposed law.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Oh gos.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: You know, there was two two events today. There was
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: this and then did you see the thing that I
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: think yesterday the Georgia dude, Yeah, that was yesterday. Who
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: voted for that?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Georgia congressman who said wanted a resolution of Texas
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: be sent back to the Big twelve.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: He was grand standing because Georgia won the game. Okay,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: that's cool whatever you said that Georgia smoked Texas. Yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: and overtime.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well it's political rhetoric as we know.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: But anyway, how about this one.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: If Ohio state representative, not Ohio State University a state
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: representative Josh Williams gets his way, teams attempting to plant
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: their flags in the middle of Ohio Stadium during Ohio
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: State games will be dealing with more than.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Just the pepper spray like they had at the deal.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Williams introduced to bill yesterday that would classify flag planting
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: at Ohio Stadium around Buckeye's football games as a felony.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: The dot H DOT I dot Dot Sportsmanship Act, authored
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: by Williams, comes in response to Michigan's attempt to plant
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: its flag after a November thirtieth win at Ohio State
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that set off the brawl between the teams, and police
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: had to employ pepper spray to separate players another team personnel.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Ohio State University Police are investigating the incident, which involved
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: multiple law enforcement agencies and resulted in an injury to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: an officer. According to Williams bill, no person shall plan
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a flag pole with a flag attached to it in
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the center of the football field at Ohio Stadium of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the Ohio State University on the day of a college
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: football competition, whether before, during, or after the competition. Whoever
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: violates this section is guilty of a felony of the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: fifth degree.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: It's the LAE severe in Ohio.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Kerrey is a penalty of six to twelve months in prison,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: up to twenty five hundred dollars fine, and up to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: five years pro bation.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: So yeah, So.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: The the two year General Assembly closes next week, so
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: this Sportsmanship Act likely will need to be reintroduced in
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the next cycle.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Again, it's a grand standing thing, is what that is.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: So what's what's the downside of a flag planning?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Just might lead to a fight on the football field,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: But that happens all the time, anything in.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Danger and all that kind of stuff.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And there was pepper spray to boy said, an officer
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: was injured and all that other kind of stuff. And
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: they're saying this is more about just being a little
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: bit but hurt, just a little bit, you know, a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: little bit upset about that deal. So anyway, that's it's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: all Baker Mayfield's fault because he was the first thing
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to do it, right, he is the first to do
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: it Wio State, you know, waved the flag. Yeah, he
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: was the first to do it. And remember who opens
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the season in Columbus next year. I'd be here Texas
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: long orangs they would not be trying to plan a flag.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: They didn't even they weren't even trying to plant a
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: flag in College Station, which by the way, is natural grass,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: so that would have been easier to do that on
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: field turf. But they weren't trying to. They were just
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: kind of gathering around and Makuba kicked up some dirt
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: or where there was something thing, but there was a
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: sark got out there quickly and because no, no.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: No, we're not doing that. We're not doing it going
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: in take it on in, and they did and they
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: did so.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Uh anyway that I just thought it was an interesting,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: uh an interesting take on all of that. All Right,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: coming up, we're gonna hear from Loghorn women's head basketball
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: coach Vick Schaeffer on the eve of tonight's matchup with
• 8:35
