0:40
Speaker 1: We are paying tribute to the great John R. Cash today.
0:45
Speaker 1: This is birthday born February twenty sixth, nineteen thirty two
0:51
Speaker 1: in poverty at Arkansas. We'll be playing some John R. Cash.
0:56
Speaker 1: But that's probably not the lead. I probably buried the lead.
1:00
Speaker 1: We are live at the Taste of Aggie Land at
1:03
Speaker 1: the Presidents County Expo Center. It is an annual occurrence
1:08
Speaker 1: for US and for some reason, they keep inviting me back.
1:12
Speaker 1: And I finally figured out. You know, I've been thinking
1:15
Speaker 1: about this and I think I've finally figured it out.
1:18
Speaker 1: I really don't eat very much, you know. They they
1:22
Speaker 1: kind of bring little servings to me, and I scooped
1:27
Speaker 1: those down, and after about the third little cup, they go, Okay,
1:32
Speaker 1: you're done, could you leave now? And I do. And
1:35
Speaker 1: so that relationship has worked out well for twenty plus
1:39
Speaker 1: years for us. So however long it's been, they keep
1:43
Speaker 1: inviting me back, and and I'm you know, I'm glad
1:46
Speaker 1: they do. Coming up, we're gonna hear from Coach cal
1:51
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Bucky on the game last night.
1:54
Speaker 1: We have got a high school report, we have got
1:57
Speaker 1: Clark Eisenhower Outdoors show in the second part of the program,
2:04
Speaker 1: and we're going to be here with you. The doors
2:05
Speaker 1: open at five o'clock. You can come buy tickets here.
2:10
Speaker 1: They're about forty restaurants represented, restaurants, dessert and sweet shops,
2:18
Speaker 1: coffee places. Did I leave anything out? All the major
2:23
Speaker 1: huh food trucks, all the major food groups are represented
2:29
Speaker 1: here at the Expo Center. And if past years are
2:34
Speaker 1: any indicationion and I believe they are. We'll be talking
2:39
Speaker 1: to some of very important people before the show is over.
2:47
Speaker 1: So last night in Vietnam, Arkansas, BATA and M ninety
2:51
Speaker 1: nine eighty four the agg He's got twenty nine from
2:56
Speaker 1: Zach Clements. He was eleven of four team from the field,
3:01
Speaker 1: three of six beyond the arc. Scored twenty two of
3:06
Speaker 1: his twenty nine in the second half. A and M
3:10
Speaker 1: shot over fifty percent in the second half. They shot
3:14
Speaker 1: almost sixty percent. But Arkansas had a plus fourteen and
3:20
Speaker 1: second chance points had plus thirteen. In offensive rebounds they
3:29
Speaker 1: were minus depending how you look at it. A and
3:33
Speaker 1: M had sixteen turnovers, Arkansas had nine. So and they
3:42
Speaker 1: had you know, nineteen two hundred people there at Bud
3:47
Speaker 1: Walton Arena in Arkansas. And we'll hear from Bucky later.
3:50
Speaker 1: But this team is loaded, and I'm telling you I
3:56
Speaker 1: think they have Final four talent and Final four ability.
4:02
Speaker 1: And once Scott Clinton and I talked about on Monday,
4:05
Speaker 1: came true again. I don't get it. Trayvon Brazil just
4:12
Speaker 1: sees maroon and goes crazy quiet the rest of the
4:16
Speaker 1: year except for maybe a game or two. Last night,
4:20
Speaker 1: fourteen and eight and plus twenty three. I mean, how
4:26
Speaker 1: does that happen? I don't know. It's just one of
4:31
Speaker 1: those oddities, but it did happen. Florida came from behind
4:36
Speaker 1: beat Texas last night in Austin. Vanderbilt took down Georgia,
4:42
Speaker 1: Alabama took down Mississippi State, and I don't know what
4:46
Speaker 1: happened in the old Miss LSU game. I'll have to
4:49
Speaker 1: check that out. I haven't looked at the score. I
4:52
Speaker 1: don't really care. So the SEC and the Big Ten
4:58
Speaker 1: are throwing their weight around again. They're distributing to congressional lawmakers.
5:03
Speaker 1: This week, according to Yahoo Sports, a white paper taking
5:09
Speaker 1: aim at those arguing for the consolidation of media rights,
5:15
Speaker 1: and there specifically after Cody Campbell, the Texas tech sugar
5:22
Speaker 1: daddy who has started a saving college sports movement. It
5:28
Speaker 1: works to refute a theory that consolidating the TV rights
5:35
Speaker 1: and reconfiguring football schedules would generate enough additional revenue to
5:42
Speaker 1: quote save college sports from its current financial situation. Now
5:48
Speaker 1: that's kind of weird, because these schools are generating billions.
5:54
Speaker 1: I didn't know they had to be saved. I didn't
5:59
Speaker 1: know that they were going broke. They were going to
6:03
Speaker 1: file bankruptcy charges. Campbell released a statement saying I haven't
6:08
Speaker 1: read the whole thing yet, can't, for the life of
6:11
Speaker 1: me figure out why they released that. Right now, we're
6:15
Speaker 1: trying to get an Amended Score Act passed in the House,
6:19
Speaker 1: if nothing else but to show some progress and momentum.
6:24
Speaker 1: This version of the bill does not include mention of SBA,
6:31
Speaker 1: so this is a distraction that makes passage even more difficult.
6:39
Speaker 1: So you know, look, college sports doesn't need to be saved,
6:47
Speaker 1: it just needs to be saved from itself. And as
6:51
Speaker 1: long as everyone is more concerned about their own interest,
6:57
Speaker 1: sec pig ten, nothing's going to happen because they got
7:04
Speaker 1: a lot of money, and again, I don't know what
7:07
Speaker 1: we have to save them from. In their language, the
7:11
Speaker 1: NCAA Rules Subcommittee proposed a one year trial rule to
7:14
Speaker 1: modify targeting. Under a new recommendation, players disqualified for targeting
7:22
Speaker 1: for the first time during the season will be allowed
7:24
Speaker 1: to play in their next game, which is long overdue.
7:31
Speaker 1: I would like to see some clarification on how that
7:33
Speaker 1: rule is officiated. I don't know if we'll get that.
7:39
Speaker 1: The University of Cincinnati is suing former quarterback Brendon Soresby
7:42
Speaker 1: for breach of contracts, seeking a million dollar buyout for
7:47
Speaker 1: his transfer to Texas Tech the Athletics as Cincinnati claims
7:51
Speaker 1: Soresby broke a revenue sharing agreement with the school, owes
7:55
Speaker 1: the university money under the conditions of the deal. The
8:00
Speaker 1: lawsuit claims Soresby signed an eighteen month, two season agreement
8:04
Speaker 1: with Cincinnati which ran through December fifteenth of twenty twenty six,
8:11
Speaker 1: with a million dollar buyout do within thirty days if
8:13
Speaker 1: he transferred to another university before completion of term. Apparently
8:20
Speaker 1: got four million from Texas Tech. Normally I wouldn't mention this,
8:27
Speaker 1: but they're doing the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis. Thirteen
8:33
Speaker 1: Aggies were combined at the combine and invited. If you
8:40
Speaker 1: really care, then you know what's going on. You can
8:44
Speaker 1: watch the NFL network. There's all kinds of If you
8:48
Speaker 1: want to know what Albert Regis's forty yard dash time is,
8:54
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can find out. This is disturbing. The
8:59
Speaker 1: philadelph Inquirer found dangerous chemicals in the astra turf of
9:06
Speaker 1: the now demolished Veteran Stadium. Six Phillies who played on
9:13
Speaker 1: that turf including Tug McGraw, Darren Dalton, John Vukovich, John Oates,
9:23
Speaker 1: the former Rangers manager Ken Brett, and David West, have
9:29
Speaker 1: all died of a rare and aggressive brain cancer in
9:35
Speaker 1: their forties or fifties, roughly three times the rate of
9:40
Speaker 1: the average adult population, gleo blastoma. The Phillies sold pieces
9:48
Speaker 1: of the turf and sealed four by four inch bags.
9:52
Speaker 1: The Inquirer purchased for those on in eBay and analyzed
9:58
Speaker 1: samples by two separate labs that found sixteen types of
10:04
Speaker 1: dangerous chemicals in the turf. They are referred to as
10:08
Speaker 1: forever chemicals because they don't break down and can last
10:13
Speaker 1: in the human body for years. The US government estimates
10:20
Speaker 1: twelve thousand artificial turf fields contaigned forever chemicals. So yeah,
10:31
Speaker 1: that's that is a disturbing story. Max Schurzer put the
10:38
Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays in position to win Game seven last
10:41
Speaker 1: year and left after four to thirty innings with a
10:45
Speaker 1: two ren lead. And Schurezer has re signed with the
10:51
Speaker 1: Blue Jays a three million dollar base salary with up
10:55
Speaker 1: to ten million in incentives. So we got that going
11:02
Speaker 1: for us, which is nice. Okay, we're gonna take a
11:08
Speaker 1: break tomorrow. Tomorrow, Jared and Jason are sitting in for Ryan,
11:18
Speaker 1: who fills in for me on Fridays. That's the show tomorrow.
11:24
Speaker 1: Kirk Bowls will join me with our usual Friday chat
11:29
Speaker 1: tomorrow on the program. We are live at the Brazenes
11:33
Speaker 1: County Expo Center. It is Taste of Aggie Land Thyme.
11:37
Speaker 1: Tickets will be sold at the door for forty dollars.
11:41
Speaker 1: You can sample food from up to forty businesses restaurants
11:47
Speaker 1: that are represented here. This evening always a cool event.
11:52
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break, We're going to come back.
11:56
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Coach Cal and his postgame comments
12:01
Speaker 1: from last night. After this for and co Insurance.

12:35
Speaker 5: It's tech SAgs Live, brought to you by David Garters
12:38
Speaker 5: Jewelers JB.
12:39
Speaker 6: Moss joining us from somewhere in the DFW Metroplex.
12:42
Speaker 7: I have never seen something like this. I mean the
12:45
Speaker 7: numbers on the page are just unbelievable. Sixty three innings
12:48
Speaker 7: pitch as a staff only five walks. I mean truly,
12:51
Speaker 7: I have never seen that. And all my years of
12:53
Speaker 7: baseball to go with seventy three strikeouts. So those are
12:56
Speaker 7: kind of the key metrics you look for, right you
12:58
Speaker 7: want to look at, you know, free bases, you want
12:59
Speaker 7: to look at strikeouts. You want that number to be
13:01
Speaker 7: above innings pitch. That kind of gives you a key
13:03
Speaker 7: indicator if the staff has wipeout stuff or not, which
13:07
Speaker 7: they do.
13:07
Speaker 5: Techsag's Live weekdays from eight to eleven on the Zone.
13:20
Speaker 1: Love gis a burning thing and it's making We're honoring
13:28
Speaker 1: the late great Johnny Cash today. It's his birthday. He
13:32
Speaker 1: was born on this day in nineteen thirty two, and
13:38
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear some John Cash on the show today.
13:41
Speaker 1: Scotlanden and sent me this, No wonder, I didn't know
13:45
Speaker 1: it was double overtime in with LSU o Miss. Max
13:53
Speaker 1: McKinnon scored eleven of his season nine thirty four in
13:56
Speaker 1: the second overtime, and Shoes snapped a five game losing
14:02
Speaker 1: streak beating Ole Miss one oh six nine. So there
14:12
Speaker 1: you go. A and M finishes the year against LSU
14:21
Speaker 1: the regular season, and they need to beat LSU in
14:25
Speaker 1: the regular season unless I think they could still get
14:30
Speaker 1: away with losing the LSU if they take down Texas
14:36
Speaker 1: and then Kentucky next week. But let me, let me
14:43
Speaker 1: check this real kick, because Lunardi has dropped A and
14:48
Speaker 1: M to like the last team in the last four buys.
14:58
Speaker 1: Let me let me look at this real quickly. You
15:04
Speaker 1: know we talked about this yesterday. We know this from experience.
15:09
Speaker 1: You do not want to leave anything in the hands
15:15
Speaker 1: of the committee, right you just don't. I beg your pardon.
15:22
Speaker 1: Texas is the last team just behind Texas, A and
15:27
Speaker 1: M Georgia, Missouri, A and M Texas all in the
15:33
Speaker 1: bubble with the last four buys. Last four in Auburn, TCU,
15:40
Speaker 1: Santa Clara, Indiana. The game Saturday is important, three o'clock
15:49
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon. That'll be an important game. Texas led Florida
15:54
Speaker 1: the half last night, but they could not keep up
15:57
Speaker 1: with the Gators in the second half. They blocked eleven
15:59
Speaker 1: shop shot the ball like crazy. Those who saw them
16:05
Speaker 1: here know how good they are. And I think A
16:12
Speaker 1: and M should win the game Saturday. But the shoulds
16:17
Speaker 1: you know, in conference, they just can't leave it up
16:20
Speaker 1: to committee. They just need to win, all right. We talked.
16:26
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about last night in Fayetteville.
16:29
Speaker 1: The Aggie's going down to a really good Arkansas team,
16:33
Speaker 1: a team that's getting better, which coach Cal's teams do
16:37
Speaker 1: in February and March always the sign of a good coach.
16:42
Speaker 1: And let's hear from Cal following the win last night.
16:48
Speaker 8: To have only nine turnovers in the game that's played,
16:51
Speaker 8: the way that game was played, it's kind of amazing.
16:56
Speaker 8: To take what they gave us and then pull out
16:59
Speaker 8: when you haven't played a game like that against the
17:02
Speaker 8: team like that.
17:03
Speaker 9: Was pretty impressive. How we played down.
17:05
Speaker 8: The stretch, what Darius did, what the other guys did
17:10
Speaker 8: playing through him, pretty amazing. DJ Wagner woo and he
17:15
Speaker 8: will only get better. Billy Richmond woo. Malik Thomas. The
17:21
Speaker 8: biggest play of the game. In my mind was that
17:23
Speaker 8: rebound he grabbed with two hands because they were making
17:26
Speaker 8: a little run, and he went and got that ball,
17:29
Speaker 8: and then we ended up scoring huge play. And then
17:33
Speaker 8: he comes down the stretch and he makes shots. Somebody
17:36
Speaker 8: just told me Darius was one for twelve in the
17:39
Speaker 8: first half. Probably should have subbed the mountain sat him,
17:44
Speaker 8: but I gave him a break. But I look, I'm
17:47
Speaker 8: just watching guys, and I just want confident guys that
17:50
Speaker 8: you're confident when you shoot it, you're shooting it confidently,
17:54
Speaker 8: and he does, but nothing phases him. I'm just look,
17:59
Speaker 8: I'm a little disappo and I'm not trying to put
18:01
Speaker 8: more on the kid. Why isn't he in the equation
18:04
Speaker 8: in the player of the year in the country.
18:07
Speaker 9: What are you saying? Why would you say he's averaging
18:10
Speaker 9: as many as all those people.
18:12
Speaker 8: He's got six assists, he's got three rebounds, he's doing
18:15
Speaker 8: things in the guts of games.
18:17
Speaker 9: Yeah, maybe they are, but he is too.
18:19
Speaker 8: So why isn't he being mentioned He's playing when he
18:23
Speaker 8: could probably take some time off games, and he's playing anyway.
18:28
Speaker 9: I mean, he goes through.
18:29
Speaker 8: The shoot around and only does half of it, So
18:31
Speaker 8: he has enough to play the game.
18:34
Speaker 9: Like should he play down in Florida?
18:37
Speaker 8: Probably not, But I'll tell you right now, if I
18:39
Speaker 8: said you're not playing down there, he busts out laughing,
18:41
Speaker 8: You're out of your mind. So I'm a little disappointed
18:45
Speaker 8: in that, but happy for TB. How about Malik Ewan.
18:49
Speaker 8: We need to get Nick doing a little bit more,
18:52
Speaker 8: and he will. He's a great kid. But DJ's big,
18:57
Speaker 8: you know, being able to go and go to him
18:59
Speaker 8: and we get better big.
19:03
Speaker 10: Yeah, you guys forced thirteen turnovers in the first half,
19:06
Speaker 10: sixteen overall. I guess just in the first half in particular,
19:09
Speaker 10: was there anything you guys were doing defensively to cause
19:12
Speaker 10: them issues, especially as they were trying to get it.
19:14
Speaker 8: We were crowding the court a little bit and we
19:17
Speaker 8: got active guys. What we're getting them to do is
19:21
Speaker 8: play with their arms like this. So instead of playing
19:24
Speaker 8: with your arms like this and you're small, just be
19:27
Speaker 8: like you're in a zone. And now they're getting their
19:29
Speaker 8: hands on balls, they're tipping it, their arms are closer
19:33
Speaker 8: to a contested shot, or their arms closer to go
19:37
Speaker 8: get a rebound or a loose ball. We've been working
19:40
Speaker 8: on that for about three weeks now and we'll continue.
19:43
Speaker 10: Yeah, you mentioned Billy obviously had the twenty three points
19:46
Speaker 10: tonight and hit a couple of jumpers as well.
19:48
Speaker 11: When the jumper is.
19:49
Speaker 10: Falling for him, I guess just how much I guess
19:52
Speaker 10: more difficult? Do you think that makes it for the
19:54
Speaker 10: opposing team to guard him?
19:55
Speaker 9: He's a great layup shooter.
19:57
Speaker 8: The only thing he's doing some these other guys are
19:59
Speaker 8: putting shoulder down and driving you into the cheerleaders without
20:04
Speaker 8: any thought of making the shot, and Nick called file.
20:07
Speaker 8: He's now getting bumped and trying to lean to make
20:10
Speaker 8: the shot, and I keep telling him, you got to
20:13
Speaker 8: play through it like everybody else is and just keep
20:15
Speaker 8: shooting free throws.
20:17
Speaker 9: But he makes those. So it's hard for me to say,
20:21
Speaker 9: change what you're doing.
20:23
Speaker 12: Thirty fast break points against a team that likes the
20:25
Speaker 12: full court press and try and slow you down. How
20:28
Speaker 12: vital is that maybe to the offense to be able
20:29
Speaker 12: to get some easy buckets and not let them set
20:31
Speaker 12: up that press.
20:32
Speaker 8: The only thing that I was kind of mad at
20:34
Speaker 8: when a team plays you that way and speeds you up,
20:37
Speaker 8: and you're skilled like us, I say, let's score one
20:40
Speaker 8: hundred and we didn't.
20:44
Speaker 12: Leak you in eighteen and nine. You know, a back
20:47
Speaker 12: to backstrong game. What kind of different layer does he
20:49
Speaker 12: bring to the team.
20:50
Speaker 9: How about the dunk?
20:52
Speaker 1: You know what he'd do?
20:53
Speaker 9: He do some kind of reverse do He just went
20:56
Speaker 9: up and dunked it. So what would you say to him?
20:58
Speaker 9: If you can do that, why not do that all
21:02
Speaker 9: the time? Just go out and dunk it.
21:04
Speaker 8: And the same with what he did rebounding the ball.
21:09
Speaker 8: He's getting more confident. I want him to shoot some jumpers.
21:12
Speaker 8: He can shoot. I'm not letting him shoot lefties anymore
21:17
Speaker 8: because when he shoots right ees, he goes and rebounds
21:20
Speaker 8: his miss. When he shoots lefty, he never rebounds. He
21:23
Speaker 8: shoots it, but he goes righty. He'll go get it
21:25
Speaker 8: and bang it in, go and score. But you know,
21:30
Speaker 8: I'm happy for him.
21:31
Speaker 9: It has been rough.
21:31
Speaker 8: If you remember last year with john Nell Nelly, it
21:35
Speaker 8: was rough for a while and then he kicked it
21:38
Speaker 8: in and by the end of the year.
21:40
Speaker 9: He was what we all thought he would be.
21:42
Speaker 8: Let's hope that's the same for Malik Ewan because he's
21:46
Speaker 8: he has made unbelievable strides in all areas, in everything.
21:51
Speaker 8: He's doing so I want him to be rewarded with
21:54
Speaker 8: what he did today.
21:56
Speaker 13: Yeah, he and TV combined for eleven of those thirteen
21:59
Speaker 13: offensive ps, and TB said earlier that they've kind of
22:03
Speaker 13: recognized that they've struggled in that department, but they've taken
22:06
Speaker 13: a little bit more onus on that. Just what do
22:08
Speaker 13: you think about their efforts on offensive glass?
22:10
Speaker 8: And well, you know what it is, it's offensive rebound attempts.
22:15
Speaker 9: So we keep track.
22:17
Speaker 8: So if there were twenty opportunities for you to go
22:21
Speaker 8: offensive rebound and you only go eight times, that stinks.
22:27
Speaker 8: If there's twenty opportunities and you go seventeen or eighteen,
22:30
Speaker 8: you're really good.
22:32
Speaker 9: But you know what, that's hard. It's easier to just
22:35
Speaker 9: run back.
22:37
Speaker 8: And so now I'm just showing him here's your rebound
22:40
Speaker 8: attempt numbers. Just go attempt to rebound and you know
22:44
Speaker 8: what you find out, Oh my gosh, I'm dunking this.
22:47
Speaker 8: You know, I'm laying it in. So TB did some
22:50
Speaker 8: good stuff today. He's going to be fine. Made his
22:53
Speaker 8: free throws, did all the stuff, made a three or two?
22:59
Speaker 8: We only made four four threes? What if we had
23:02
Speaker 8: made eight instead of four? So we're still not quite
23:08
Speaker 8: making the numbers that we want to make. But if
23:11
Speaker 8: you're going to score ninety nine, it's okay to make
23:15
Speaker 8: four and only shoot seventeen.
23:19
Speaker 14: Back to moly, Hew and I mean two really good
23:22
Speaker 14: games back to back. Can you envision a scenario where
23:25
Speaker 14: he you know, kind of shifts into that starting rotation.
23:28
Speaker 9: Yeah.
23:30
Speaker 8: I started him in the second half, and he played
23:34
Speaker 8: most of the minutes in the first half, So who
23:35
Speaker 8: really cares in the.
23:38
Speaker 14: First half Areas Molie combined and go one for fifteen.
23:41
Speaker 14: The rest of the team was twelve for twenty one
23:44
Speaker 14: with the two freshmen. Kind of that carried you guys for
23:47
Speaker 14: big portions of games. How big was it for you
23:50
Speaker 14: to get you know, for the rest of the guys
23:52
Speaker 14: to carry that well.
23:53
Speaker 8: The last game, I sat Darius out the last five
23:56
Speaker 8: minutes of the half and we went on a nineteen
23:58
Speaker 8: to six run with Darius sitting. But here's what I
24:02
Speaker 8: will tell you, at the end of the game, the
24:05
Speaker 8: last six minutes, who did the most damage Darius in
24:12
Speaker 8: the league.
24:14
Speaker 9: So I want you to think about this.
24:16
Speaker 8: Here's a freshman that goes one for twelve and then
24:20
Speaker 8: at the end of the game has enough hutzpah to
24:26
Speaker 8: say I'm winning this. I'm gonna win this, and Malik
24:30
Speaker 8: Thomas absolutely the same. There's no one gonna convince either
24:34
Speaker 8: one of those guys that they're not what you're seeing.
24:39
Speaker 8: They know it, they're not afraid of it. If I
24:42
Speaker 8: miss some shots, I'm making some shots. I'm not gonna
24:45
Speaker 8: miss and then miss seven, eight, nine, nine. Believe me,
24:48
Speaker 8: when it's time to make shots, I will make them.
24:52
Speaker 8: Last one guys, so I can get home.
24:54
Speaker 6: Billy has an eighteen point six points per game over
24:56
Speaker 6: the last seven games. At the start of the year,
24:58
Speaker 6: even at the start of SEC play, did you envision
25:01
Speaker 6: that he turned into the score that he has been
25:03
Speaker 6: over the last seven games.
25:05
Speaker 8: What he's doing is he's really working on a three
25:07
Speaker 8: point shot in practice, and I'm having him we do
25:11
Speaker 8: some shooting things. I'm having him do two of them,
25:16
Speaker 8: and he's look, I told him, the way you attack
25:20
Speaker 8: the basket, you make a couple threes. How do they
25:23
Speaker 8: guard you but let you keep making threes? No, they
25:27
Speaker 8: come out and all of a sudden he's attacking. The
25:29
Speaker 8: only one I was the one where he went in
25:32
Speaker 8: and did this and they said he didn't get fouled.
25:34
Speaker 9: I don't know, maybe he didn't, but I'm like, you
25:37
Speaker 9: were right there. Just go through the guy.
25:39
Speaker 8: They're going to call that a foul, and so that one,
25:43
Speaker 8: I said, you didn't need to do the extra.
25:45
Speaker 9: But I'll tell you he plays.
25:49
Speaker 8: People don't even know is scoring because of all the
25:52
Speaker 8: other stuff he does.
25:53
Speaker 9: They don't even know until the game ends. What did
25:56
Speaker 9: he have? Wow? He had?
25:57
Speaker 8: What because they see the dive on the floor, tough rebounds,
26:01
Speaker 8: to passing, all the things that he's doing. So, yeah,
26:07
Speaker 8: we're a tough game. I mean, you're going it's game
26:10
Speaker 8: day down in Florida. They're they're the best team in
26:13
Speaker 8: our league right now, and we got to go on
26:15
Speaker 8: the road.
26:15
Speaker 9: We got two days.
26:17
Speaker 8: We cannot practice tomorrow and guess what, we cannot practice Friday.
26:22
Speaker 8: So we're gonna do tapework, walk through some stuff, show them,
26:25
Speaker 8: let's throw it up and see where we are.
26:29
Speaker 1: That's that's Cal. Always enjoy listening to coach Cal. And
26:38
Speaker 1: you know, Darius a Cuff was one for ten in
26:41
Speaker 1: the first half, and I don't think A and M
26:47
Speaker 1: took full advantage of that, for sure. I know they didn't.
26:53
Speaker 1: They allowed that big run after they were up eleven
26:55
Speaker 1: to two. They should have taken more advantage of the
27:01
Speaker 1: fact that a cup was off, and Kyle didn't. He
27:06
Speaker 1: kind of alluded to him and he said, what do
27:07
Speaker 1: you want me to do? Take him out? Well he
27:08
Speaker 1: did take him out. You know, I'm watching early in
27:12
Speaker 1: the second half and he sits him down, and he
27:15
Speaker 1: goes over there and just yells at him. He gets
27:17
Speaker 1: in his face, and so he sat him for about
27:20
Speaker 1: two minutes, maybe three, And when he comes back in,
27:25
Speaker 1: he's Darius A Cuff again. He's one of the top
27:27
Speaker 1: five or six players in the United States. He is
27:31
Speaker 1: going to be getting an even larger check next year.
27:36
Speaker 1: And in the second half he was nails, So you
27:40
Speaker 1: know that was an issue for sure. I already talked
27:45
Speaker 1: about Trayvon Brazil. I don't know what it is about
27:49
Speaker 1: A and m. Billy Richmond has been he's been great.
27:56
Speaker 1: But this is a team that only played last night
28:00
Speaker 1: seven players. They do not have any depth. Brazil played
28:05
Speaker 1: thirty Richmond played almost thirty four minutes, Malik Thomas played
28:11
Speaker 1: almost thirty a Cuff played thirty seven of the forty minutes.
28:17
Speaker 1: Okay Ewan played thirty three and a half minutes. DJ
28:22
Speaker 1: Wagner played twenty nine minutes, and that's it. They don't
28:29
Speaker 1: have much depth. To me. That's an issue at tournament time,
28:37
Speaker 1: you know, with the with the two games in what
28:40
Speaker 1: three days, But and they're talented, that's a good team.
28:47
Speaker 1: They are at Florida. Cali alluded to that, and they
28:53
Speaker 1: are at Florida Saturday. That game is in the evening.
28:59
Speaker 1: It is seven point thirty on ESPN. It's gonna be fun.
29:05
Speaker 1: That will follow by ways, unless something weird happens. Texas
29:11
Speaker 1: and A and M are on ESPN. Two Alabama Tennessee
29:16
Speaker 1: are the five o'clock game, and then the seven thirty
29:19
Speaker 1: game is Arkansas and Florida. And those are gonna be
29:26
Speaker 1: really three really good games. So there you go. Coming up,
29:35
Speaker 1: we've got a high school report. Caleb's gonna be here.
29:38
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Bucky as well. We've got Clark Eisenhower. Addition,
29:45
Speaker 1: in the second hour, we've got a couple of really
29:48
Speaker 1: bad animals attacking that we will be talking about. So
29:53
Speaker 1: we've got that going on. I'll mention again tomorrow. Jared
29:57
Speaker 1: and Jason are filling in for Ryan, who fills in
30:01
Speaker 1: for me on Fridays, but I will have my weekly
30:05

Speaker 21: this year? You know, you kind of set the expectations
34:26
Speaker 21: pretty high for yourself.
34:27
Speaker 16: Yeah, Hey, just trying to do what we've always done
34:30
Speaker 16: is try to play a good brand of baseball, try
34:33
Speaker 16: to be excited about getting after it every day and
34:35
Speaker 16: just just playing our hardest, to try to play our
34:38
Speaker 16: best ball at the right times and just try to,
34:41
Speaker 16: you know, try to do what we can to give
34:43
Speaker 16: ourselves the best opportunity to maybe even do something like
34:46
Speaker 16: we did last year.
34:48
Speaker 21: So last year, one of the biggest pieces of that
34:51
Speaker 21: team did graduate, Jake Pineda.
34:53
Speaker 20: Your star shortstop and picture.
34:56
Speaker 21: Yeah yeah, he is actually a played games at Army
35:01
Speaker 21: in West Point. I've noticed he's got a couple of
35:03
Speaker 21: bats up there. But how has it been this year? Yeah, yeah,
35:08
Speaker 21: I saw that. How has it been this year? Trying
35:10
Speaker 21: to fill that void?
35:12
Speaker 16: Oh well, I told the guy the other day, there's
35:15
Speaker 16: not a lot a lot of Jake Prenata's just walking
35:17
Speaker 16: around everywhere.
35:18
Speaker 11: He's a he's a really a really good player.
35:21
Speaker 16: And hopefully just having a bunch of guys that are
35:24
Speaker 16: a year older and a year more experienced that are
35:28
Speaker 16: better or better because of the experience they had last
35:31
Speaker 16: year and the years before with playing with a guy
35:34
Speaker 16: like Pineda, and hopefully all of us together will make
35:37
Speaker 16: up for that, not just you know, depending on one
35:40
Speaker 16: person to put all that on his shoulders, you know
35:43
Speaker 16: what I mean?
35:44
Speaker 21: Yes, sir, and y'all were pretty fortunate that he was
35:47
Speaker 21: one of the only seniors that graduated last year. So
35:51
Speaker 21: a lot coming back from that state championship winning team.
35:55
Speaker 21: Who are some of the players that stand out for you?
35:57
Speaker 16: Well, we we graduated, actually graduated four, but Jake was
36:02
Speaker 16: the only starter.
36:04
Speaker 11: They they're graduated. But uh, I want.
36:08
Speaker 16: To give shouts out of those, uh, those those other
36:10
Speaker 16: three guys that weren't starters because they were they were
36:13
Speaker 16: leaders every day, they worked their butts off every day
36:16
Speaker 16: and practicing in the weight room and and uh you
36:19
Speaker 16: know some of them would spot play here or run
36:22
Speaker 16: basis for us, and uh they were just as much
36:25
Speaker 16: a part of it as anyone.
36:27
Speaker 11: So so I appreciate those guys.
36:29
Speaker 16: But but uh, uh, I don't I don't.
36:33
Speaker 11: Get to and involved in in naming names. But uh,
36:37
Speaker 11: but we just have we just have a good group.
36:39
Speaker 11: We have kids that like that, like playing ball. They
36:42
Speaker 11: get after it.
36:43
Speaker 16: They uh they and uh and uh they look forward
36:47
Speaker 16: to this season as do I and uh and and
36:51
Speaker 16: they they they kind of lay it on the line
36:53
Speaker 16: for me.
36:53
Speaker 11: And I appreciate him for it.
36:55
Speaker 21: So already played in a couple of tournaments in the
36:57
Speaker 21: midst of one right now. Yeah, yeah, this morning, got
37:01
Speaker 21: got two wins over Clifton and Malakoff respectively. So how
37:05
Speaker 21: have you felt about the team's performance and how they're jelling.
37:08
Speaker 11: Well, Uh, they're just they're just trying to do what
37:11
Speaker 11: I asked him to do.
37:12
Speaker 16: Uh we uh we of course we got some We
37:16
Speaker 16: got some good pitching performances from uh and uh since
37:20
Speaker 16: uh the name names, uh we got we got some
37:23
Speaker 16: good pitching performances from both uh Blake Boyd and Remyton
37:28
Speaker 16: Duck and and uh in game one, and then in
37:32
Speaker 16: in game two, uh why Kelly came out and did
37:35
Speaker 16: a great job of setting the tone on the mound
37:37
Speaker 16: force and then uh Cooper Wilson came in and finished
37:40
Speaker 16: it out for us on the maund So so uh,
37:43
Speaker 16: uh it's been kind of some some good good pitching
37:48
Speaker 16: performances and some good defenses, some good defense, and then
37:52
Speaker 16: then some kindly hitting kind of kind of came up
37:55
Speaker 16: with some barrels when we needed.
37:57
Speaker 21: Yeah, that's kind of always seemed to be Your style
38:00
Speaker 21: of play is strong on pitching and defense and timely
38:04
Speaker 21: hitting like you mentioned, which is really exciting brand of
38:07
Speaker 21: baseball to watch.
38:08
Speaker 11: Yeah, he trust me. I love I love to just
38:10
Speaker 11: crush the ball all over the place all the time.
38:12
Speaker 11: I'll take it and we can get it.
38:14
Speaker 16: But but you know, hey, we faced some good teams
38:17
Speaker 16: with good pictures, and uh, they get outs and they
38:20
Speaker 16: miss barrels, and and uh we have to we have
38:24
Speaker 16: to take.
38:24
Speaker 11: Them where we can get them, you know.
38:26
Speaker 16: And and keep giving ourselves a chance by playing solid
38:29
Speaker 16: on defense.
38:31
Speaker 20: So looking at how the district's shaping up so far this.
38:33
Speaker 21: Year, you know, Love Lady always going to be one
38:36
Speaker 21: of the biggest competitors for that district title, along with
38:40
Speaker 21: y'all and some of the other schools in there.
38:43
Speaker 20: So what are your thoughts on your schedule this year?
38:45
Speaker 11: Hey, as far as district.
38:48
Speaker 16: Uh, I was talking to h to one of the
38:52
Speaker 16: actual coaches today, and I was telling him that that
38:56
Speaker 16: that that's a That's one thing about our district. It's
38:59
Speaker 16: always you know, it's always very evenly matched. We always
39:03
Speaker 16: we always have a UH.
39:05
Speaker 11: And I think it prepares us for the playoffs, you know,
39:09
Speaker 11: with us and Love.
39:10
Speaker 16: Lady and Normandy and Leon and and UH and those
39:16
Speaker 16: those guys, they all we all like, we all get after,
39:19
Speaker 16: we all get after each other and and UH and
39:23
Speaker 16: and also you know it's even a step higher.
39:26
Speaker 11: Probably with with UH.
39:28
Speaker 16: You know, Love Lady kind of became a rival of
39:31
Speaker 16: ours when we moved in the district with them some
39:33
Speaker 16: years back. But you know, Leon and Normangy are both
39:37
Speaker 16: both county schools in the same county, so you know,
39:42
Speaker 16: our kids all know each other. The parents all know
39:44
Speaker 16: each other, so so we have good rival robberies with
39:47
Speaker 16: them too. So so so you know, whenever we play
39:51
Speaker 16: each other, you can kind of throw us the throw
39:54
Speaker 16: the the the records out the window.
39:57
Speaker 11: You know, it's just baseball. We're getting after you show.
40:01
Speaker 21: Yeah, that's always one of the great things about you know,
40:03
Speaker 21: the small schools, they're usually grouped a little closer together
40:06
Speaker 21: than some of these big schools when you get out
40:09
Speaker 21: into the four.
40:10
Speaker 20: A and five A situation.
40:12
Speaker 21: But that's my favorite thing about two A football is
40:14
Speaker 21: that you really are to a sports in general. Uh,
40:17
Speaker 21: you have that close connection with your rivals and it's
40:20
Speaker 21: always a good battle every year.
40:21
Speaker 16: We can't you know, we can't forget about it about
40:23
Speaker 16: Grape Grapeland as well. I don't want I don't want
40:26
Speaker 16: to leave any of those guys out because we've had games.
40:29
Speaker 11: We've had games those guys, I know.
40:31
Speaker 16: Uh, we thought thought we were we had a pretty
40:34
Speaker 16: good group going and uh oh some years back, the
40:37
Speaker 16: year we went to the semifinals, the first time we
40:40
Speaker 16: went to the semi finals, we played Grape one over
40:42
Speaker 16: there the first district game. Then they put it on
40:44
Speaker 16: this man. So so it's a it's always it's always
40:48
Speaker 16: tough in our district.
40:50
Speaker 20: Yeah.
40:50
Speaker 21: That's another great thing about baseball is that you never
40:53
Speaker 21: know any given day what team's going to show up.
40:57
Speaker 20: It's it could always go it could always go either way.
41:00
Speaker 20: Like you said, Yeah, y'all were one of the best teams.
41:03
Speaker 21: Yeah, y'all were one of the best teams in the
41:04
Speaker 21: state that year. And sometimes it just happens that way.
41:07
Speaker 21: But it's one great thing I've noticed about your Centerville
41:10
Speaker 21: teams is that you always get back up off the mat.
41:14
Speaker 11: We try to be consistent.
41:17
Speaker 20: All right, coach, Well that's all I've got for you today.

Speaker 1: the Rockport area for speckled trout. So we've got all
46:49
Speaker 1: of that coming up for you here this evening. Right now,
46:55
Speaker 1: we're gonna hear from Bucky from the postgame show, from
46:59
Speaker 1: Andrew and John Thornton last night after the Aggies ninety
47:04
Speaker 1: nine eighty four loss to Arkansas.
47:08
Speaker 26: Oh, they're a good team. They're talented, they're good. We
47:13
Speaker 26: didn't play with enough of aggressive, enough aggressiveness on offense.
47:18
Speaker 26: We played a little two passive to start the game
47:20
Speaker 26: and it resulted in too many turnovers.
47:23
Speaker 9: The game was lost in.
47:24
Speaker 26: That in that segment there, you know, just taking ourselves
47:27
Speaker 26: a hole. We came back after them cut it down
47:28
Speaker 26: to four, was that right?
47:29
Speaker 9: Yeah?
47:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, sixty?
47:31
Speaker 26: And then they made some big, big plays obviously you know,
47:34
Speaker 26: you got a lottery pick on their team that made
47:37
Speaker 26: some big plays late. We had it right there, missed
47:39
Speaker 26: a couple of free throws, and other than that, I
47:42
Speaker 26: was proud of the fight the second half. They're a
47:44
Speaker 26: hard team to beat in here. Not me, people get them. No,
47:47
Speaker 26: you got to put two halves together right there. You
47:48
Speaker 26: just can't have these many turners we did to start
47:50
Speaker 26: the game. But all in all, they probably wouldn't have
47:53
Speaker 26: lost a lot of teams tonight in here right the
47:55
Speaker 26: way that they they their their key players played down
47:57
Speaker 26: the stretch.
47:58
Speaker 27: Well you started the game when they overplayed and then
48:00
Speaker 27: getting the pass and think that really kind of cut
48:02
Speaker 27: them up a little bit. I mean, got the back door,
48:04
Speaker 27: got the pass, lot of assists. But defensively, they they are,
48:07
Speaker 27: they're length and their ability to get up there and
48:10
Speaker 27: force the issue. Uh, we got adjusted to it in
48:14
Speaker 27: the second half, but didn't handle it well just to start.
48:16
Speaker 26: Yeah, I agree, it's a it's a it's a good
48:20
Speaker 26: team with a lot of good players. And then they
48:21
Speaker 26: will coach you know what they're doing. So we we
48:25
Speaker 26: knew that they take a good game from us. And
48:28
Speaker 26: you can't help them out. You can't help them be good.
48:31
Speaker 27: You can't help them with turnovers through going to the
48:33
Speaker 27: free throw line as much as they did.
48:34
Speaker 26: Yeah, you can't, you know, and getting in there and
48:37
Speaker 26: and we're a little underside of some of that.
48:39
Speaker 1: I get it.
48:40
Speaker 26: But you know, we played good enough defense the first
48:43
Speaker 26: half to win and good enough offense the second half.
48:47
Speaker 9: Put those together, you know.
48:48
Speaker 26: That's how it was. I mean, it's it's uh. We
48:51
Speaker 26: ended up shooting fifty three percent from the field from
48:53
Speaker 26: the game thirty two percent from three. But if you
48:55
Speaker 26: look at this they had uh we had we had
48:59
Speaker 26: sixteen turns, they had none, and then offensive rebounds they
49:02
Speaker 26: doubled us up there. So you just get too many
49:05
Speaker 26: shots at there at the basket.
49:06
Speaker 22: And you talked about paint being important as well, those
49:09
Speaker 22: paint points and they're fast break points.
49:11
Speaker 9: They're so good they sometimes go hand in.
49:13
Speaker 22: Hand with those turnovers and the and the fast breaks
49:15
Speaker 22: as well.
49:16
Speaker 9: Well.
49:16
Speaker 26: We looked at in the first half at one point,
49:18
Speaker 26: you know, and and they had not scored a lot
49:20
Speaker 26: of points against our set d. It was mainly off
49:23
Speaker 26: our turnovers, and that's where you helped where we helped them.
49:25
Speaker 26: We just gave them two many Now we got back
49:27
Speaker 26: in the game right there, playing aggressive and then today
49:34
Speaker 26: a little late that they won their match up there. Yeah,
49:36
Speaker 26: you know, Daris just he was a good player in
49:38
Speaker 26: those moments and the next game, maybe we win that matchup, right,
49:41
Speaker 26: And that's kind of what it comes down to sometimes
49:43
Speaker 26: those games is that he went off. They made the
49:46
Speaker 26: last twelve baskets. Yeah, and and I'm gonna say some
49:49
Speaker 26: of those we play good defense.
49:51
Speaker 1: Yes, sometimes they take the shots.
49:52
Speaker 9: They wanted them to.
49:52
Speaker 27: Well you said that all the time. Hey, it's gonna
49:54
Speaker 27: be the individual matchups. When he stepped back and made
49:57
Speaker 27: that three late shot clock, hey pat him on a
50:00
Speaker 27: I mean you make that kind of play, Hey, we'll
50:02
Speaker 27: power to you.
50:03
Speaker 26: That's exactly right, you know. But I really was. I
50:05
Speaker 26: was proud of the fight and.
50:07
Speaker 27: Well that that battle when the crowd was in it.
50:10
Speaker 27: You're still pressing, You're gonna always do that. You even
50:13
Speaker 27: ratchet it up a notch. Yeah, and got right back
50:16
Speaker 27: in that thing. But they just explosive as they are.
50:18
Speaker 27: It's just it's a hard thing to contend with in
50:20
Speaker 27: this building.
50:21
Speaker 26: Well, their potential final fourteen, that's for sure, you know,
50:25
Speaker 26: in a neutral site or at our place and maybe
50:27
Speaker 26: a different outcome there, right, I mean, you know we'll
50:29
Speaker 26: have that opportunity hopefully in Nashville, right or then say tournament. Yeah,
50:33
Speaker 26: but what we can't do. We can't let this game
50:35
Speaker 26: effect the next game, right. You know, this is a
50:38
Speaker 26: hard to get wins on the road, and I've been
50:39
Speaker 26: pleased with what we've done on the road. I've had
50:42
Speaker 26: an the sec play, but you've got to protect home court, yep.
50:45
Speaker 26: And we got two really big games coming up here
50:47
Speaker 26: at home. We've got to learn from things we could
50:48
Speaker 26: have done better here and carry it over to the
50:51
Speaker 26: next game.
50:52
Speaker 22: Talk to me about Zach Clemons. He's not the same
50:55
Speaker 22: player who started this year, Bucky, not even close.
50:57
Speaker 26: He was great, and he played fearless, and he aggressive,
51:01
Speaker 26: and I mean he was athletic. He's powerful. It's a
51:05
Speaker 26: matchup nightmare right now for the teams because he can
51:07
Speaker 26: shoot it and he can drive.
51:08
Speaker 9: It, he can post up.
51:10
Speaker 11: Yeah, so free throws.
51:11
Speaker 26: Makes free throws. So he's playing really good. I mean,
51:14
Speaker 26: he certainly looked like he belonged out there, that more
51:17
Speaker 26: than belonged to that game.
51:18
Speaker 27: Yeah.
51:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you need it.
51:20
Speaker 22: And that was part p And and Diba Cary gave
51:23
Speaker 22: you a good second half. But those guys back to
51:26
Speaker 22: that fearlessness and when you got it to four, they
51:29
Speaker 22: seem to be involved in all of it.
51:31
Speaker 26: They did for you, they did we got right back there.
51:34
Speaker 26: You know, the stats are not too one sided if
51:37
Speaker 26: you look at it. They've made thirty three shots, we
51:39
Speaker 26: made thirty. We had eighteen assists, they had eighteen assists.
51:41
Speaker 26: But the difference was we had sixteen turnovers to their nine.
51:45
Speaker 26: Right and that's that's you can't do that. And then
51:47
Speaker 26: they h made more free throws and that more offensive rebounds, so.
51:51
Speaker 1: They get that.
51:52
Speaker 27: You know, the four we had fourteen turnovers I think
51:55
Speaker 27: at halftime. Now it only had three in the second half.
51:57
Speaker 27: But like you said, we could have matched their defense
51:59
Speaker 27: in the first step offense of the second half. You know,
52:02
Speaker 27: it's one of those kind of deals.
52:03
Speaker 26: Yeah, well, it's uh, not too many teams. I don't
52:07
Speaker 26: think any set C team an SEC team won in
52:09
Speaker 26: here this year. I don't know, but Kentucky's the only
52:12
Speaker 26: Kentucky got one. That's right. I'll watched that game, that's right.
52:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, uh, you know, it.
52:17
Speaker 26: Is what it is.
52:18
Speaker 11: Yep.
52:19
Speaker 26: But I was proud of our guys and they're never
52:21
Speaker 26: gonna they're never gonna stop fighting and and we're never
52:24
Speaker 26: gonna stop coaching. We're gonna call timeouts all the way
52:25
Speaker 26: to the land to play this thing out. I mean,
52:27
Speaker 26: we're trying to get under single digits, and you know,
52:30
Speaker 26: anything can happen in those spots.
52:31
Speaker 27: Yep.
52:32
Speaker 22: But pretty big one Saturday, pretty big one next Tuesday, both.
52:35
Speaker 26: At ried Arena, both at Reed. We got to have
52:37
Speaker 26: everybody there. I mean, you know, we know what time
52:38
Speaker 26: of year this is, and all these games matter a
52:40
Speaker 26: great deal. We know that, and we got to play
52:43
Speaker 26: good basketball, and you particularly got to do our job
52:46
Speaker 26: at hont absolutely.
52:48
Speaker 1: All right, that's uh, Bucky. Post game, I got this sense,
52:54
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, everyone knew this was a really
52:59
Speaker 1: really hard game against a good team in a really
53:03
Speaker 1: difficult outing. You know, they're going to play hard, which
53:06
Speaker 1: they did throughout right. I mean that they're not gonna
53:12
Speaker 1: stop playing hard. They they cut the lead down to
53:19
Speaker 1: four at one point, but as I mentioned earlier, Darius
53:24
Speaker 1: a Cuff turned into Darius a Cuff in the second half,
53:28
Speaker 1: which he wasn't in the first half. And they've got dudes,
53:35
Speaker 1: and it is it's difficult. Now they just have to
53:39
Speaker 1: flush that, which they've been very good at doing. And and
53:42
Speaker 1: by the ways, four and four on the road, and
53:46
Speaker 1: that's you know, except for Florida sitting at you know,
53:52
Speaker 1: you look, Tennessee is four and four on the road.
53:58
Speaker 1: I think Alabama. Let me let me double check this,
54:01
Speaker 1: but yeah, Alabama was home last night. I mean, four
54:08
Speaker 1: and four, you'll take that. You just got to hold
54:10
Speaker 1: on to home court, and they have a chance to
54:13
Speaker 1: do that. Against the Longhorns on Saturday afternoon. And then
54:20
Speaker 1: you've got Kentucky coming to town. And Kentucky is uber
54:25
Speaker 1: talented like they always are, but they've been inconsistent and
54:30
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're getting from them, you know,
54:33
Speaker 1: from moment to moment, you just don't. So they are beatable.
54:39
Speaker 1: You got play well, but they're beatable at rit Arena.
54:43
Speaker 1: So should be good crowd, sat, really good crowd Saturday,
54:46
Speaker 1: really good crowd the following week against Kentucky on Tuesday
54:53
Speaker 1: night next Tuesday night. By the way, let me mention,
54:56
Speaker 1: I've got three books sitting here with authors, some of
55:01
Speaker 1: whom I've had on the show, some of whom I haven't.
55:04
Speaker 1: So if you're coming down to the Expo Center, we've
55:08
Speaker 1: got a few people waiting for the doors to open
55:11
Speaker 1: right now at five. You can get tickets at the door.
55:16
Speaker 1: You can come in and take one of these books
55:18
Speaker 1: home if you read it all. Oh my gosh, all
55:22
Speaker 1: the stars are here. We need a break to close
55:26
Speaker 1: out the first hour and we will be back with
55:31
Speaker 1: the Clark Eisenhower Outdoors Edition. I want to send you
55:35
Speaker 1: over to Brandon and Chuck Morrow at Brasis Valley Flooring
