  Speaker 1: a few minutes. We're here from Matthew Golden, and uh,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: excuse me, Andrew mccuba. We heard from Golden last hour.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Andrew mccouba. We'll hear from and Jake Major's the Long
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Worn Center. There's coming up, but we want to hear
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: a little more from Long Wort's head coach Steve Circassian.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Now as he has turned his attention toward the Ohio
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: State Buckeyes, one of the areas certainly for him to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: be concerned about is the play of their quarterback. And
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: everybody knows their quarterback very very well. Will Howard and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the challenge that he would bring for Texas And you
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: know what, what has he seen from Will Howard and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: what makes a difference for the Long Worn defense?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say the first thing is he's a
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: He's a much better athlete than people probably give him
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: credit for. He snapped off a shoot about a seventy
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: yard touchdown run against us A few years ago. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: he has a good speed, he's got great poison composure
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: in the pocket. You can tell he's very bright. You know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the system they ran at Kansas State put a lot
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: on the quarterback and knowing coach Kelly and coach Day
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and what they do, so him managing you know, the
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: offenses that way. So he's got he's got intelligence, he's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: got athletic ability, and then his ability to throw a
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: catchable ball. You know, I've seen that now for a
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: few years. You know, he throws passes where they need
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to be thrown, and guys make plays for him, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: his poison composure in critical moments is something that has
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: been very impressive as well.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, on the defensive side, we've heard an
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: awful lot about that Ohio State pass rush. So he
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: was asked about to what stands out to him about
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: that Buckeyees pass rush.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I just hope we're good enough to guard him, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: these guys are really good players.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: We'll find out.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, short and sweet to that start. Talked about this
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: all the way back in June and July. In August,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: we talked about the fact that Texas conceivably could play
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: sixteen maybe even seventeen games, which, by the way, if
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they win this week, the National Championship game would be
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: game number seventeen for the Longhorns. They will have played
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: more college football games than any other program because neither
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Penn State nor Notre Dame played in the conference. Is
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that right?
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: In the conference? Y? No, no, no, Penn State State play.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They lost to Orgon That's right, Penn State did, so
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: they would be tied to If Penn State beats Notre Dame,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they would both be on their seventeenth game. If Notre
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Dame defeats Penn State and Texas wins, then yes, Texas
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: will have played will be playing in their seventeenth game,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: more than any program in college football history. So Sark
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: was asked if this thing started to feel as they
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: moved on forward and now into to their sixteenth ball game,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: much more like an NFL schedule.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Well, it definitely feels like that, you know, and you
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: think about, like I said, we're going into game number
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: sixteen here, and so how you manage the players, how
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: you utilize your time, how you you try to keep
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: them as fresh as you can, not only physically but mentally,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: but also put forth, you make sure you've got a
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: good plan that you can execute against. You know, the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: further you go into the playoffs, the better quality opponent
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you face, and so your quality of play has to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: continue to improve. The coaching has to improve, everybody's got
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to improve. We've always got to continue to strive to
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: get better, all on the same time trying to get
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: everybody fresh and back and putting them in the best
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: position to have success. And so it's it's a challenge,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: but that's the beauty of it, right, That's that's like
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to be in this stage and to be it with
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: this opportunity. You you embrace it and you try to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: balance it as best you can so that when the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: balls kicked off, you're putting everybody, your staff, your players
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: in the in the best position to have some success.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And then one final bit of sound from Sark. Even
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: though each team was allotted thirteen thousand tickets and sold out,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it's a lot, but the game is in, after all,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the state of Texas. It's in Arlington. It's about two
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: hundred miles from Austin, a lot closer than it is
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to Columbus, Ohio. There would be the opportunity for those
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to access the secondary ticket market to pick up tickets.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So Sarka was asked, does this feel kind of like
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a home game for his team? Yeah?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I think both schools get
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the same number of tickets. I'm not certain Bianca might
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: be able to answer that for you, but I think
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I think everybody gets the same number of tickets. And
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: then from that point, who's going to buy the rest?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: And I know we've got a great fan base that travels.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I know Ohio State's got a great fan base that travels.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: If it was at DKR, i'd probably say something that'd
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: be like a home game, But you know, it is
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: what it is.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And you're throwing the one other factor, the weather,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the possibility. And then you mentioned cam. When we were
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: first looking examining the ticket market, the secondary ticket market,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it was looking like crazy things like four thousand dollars
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: for fifty yard line seats even upper deck. We're over
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: three hundred, well in excess of three hundred dollars, four
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars the face value including fees, taxes, all, it's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: about two hundred and forty bucks per ticket. But I
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: know the skyrocket, but then I'm hearing and I think
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you mentioned it. It's kind of fallen back a little bit,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: mainly because I think folks are worried about the weather.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Looking at seatkeet right now, Craig one hundred and fifty
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: dollars including fees to get it in. Wow, So it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: plumted from the cheapest resell ticket, which is your ear
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: in the fourth row, you know, or the fourth deck.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Excuse me, So you're steering right at the jumbo tron
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: but to get in looking at four hundred dollars now
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: it's one fifty and I'm assuming it's going to continue to.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Drop along with the temperatures, yes or outside, So there
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you go, all right. Of course, our coverage will begin
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: at three thirty on Friday afternoon from Boomer Jacks with
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Cam and with my cardball Harge and with Mark Henry.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: It's really at I thirty and one fifty seven I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I thirty and Collins, near the entertainment area, not about
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a mile from the stadium. It's pretty close, so it
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: would be a great place to start up.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Now. I know you've had some issue with the name
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: boomer Jacks because it says, you know Boomer in it
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: does that mean, like, will you still join us for
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: our our pregame segment on the show that's still gonna
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: happen even though we will.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I will be on. I will be on with you regardless.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I might even venture out to Boomer Jacks at some
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: point during the week. My son's all about Boomers. I've
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: just kidded with him and said, you won't. You won't
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: see me stepping there because it's got the name Boomer Now,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I just I get it. I think the owner lives
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in Dallas. It's not I don't think it's an okay,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I think he lives in Dallas. But anyway, all right,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So it starts at three thirty, Network pregame at five thirty.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: The kickoff is going to be about six forty five
• 7:52
