  Speaker 1: Here this afternoon, and us, of course includes our producer
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Cameron D. Parker. The D on the birth certificate stands
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for Dallas, as in the name of his favorite football team,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: which still has yet to name a head coach any
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: more intel on that from you. Cam on what Jerry's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: planning to do, He has no idea. He doesn't know
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: what's going on.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: He interviewed Brian Schottenheimer for a second time for some reason,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: who has never been a head coach. I don't think
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: so things are going great in Dallas. It's gonna be great,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: you know. Aaron Glenn's been hired, Robert Saal has been hired,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: and Johnson's been hired, Mike Crable's been hired.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's been hired. It's not good. It's not good.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I'm extending I think my Cowboys hiatus for probably the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: next decade. If they hire Brian Schottenheimer. I'm more than.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Out on the Dallas cowb For those of you who
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: are unfamiliar with the quote unquote hiatus of which Cam
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: just spoke, it is his favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: but out of frustration after their playoff loss at home
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to the Packers last year. He vowed not to watch
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: them this season. This just concluded season, and by and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: large he held to that. There was there was one
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: game you did watch the whole game. I forgot which one.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It was not the whole game. I watched the very
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: end of the Redskins Cowboys game. Commanders, excuse me, whatever,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: when you know Turpin had the kickoff return touchdown and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: then McLaurin had that last second touchdown and the Cowboys
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: came back and yeah, scored again or whatever. It was
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: that crazy finish. I watched that. Yeah, there was another
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: game after that that you want? No, Okay, all right,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So he he has decided, you know, he wasn't going
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to watch them now, unlike most disgruntled, disenchanted, disaffected Cowboy
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: fans who have moved on and said I'm on to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: another team. I'm not rooting for this team ever. Again,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: he still claims the Cowboys as his team, but he's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: kind of estranged from them emotionally. Is that a proper
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: way to describe it? Sure? Okay, So in other words,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: you do have hope, No, there's no hope. Hope's gone. Okay,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I sort of say there's still hope. You're still hoping
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that they figure out something and get it turned.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Unless the whole Jones family perishes, then we're stuck in
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: this the next couple decades.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, So that then begs the question, why would you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: continue to root for them? I'm not rooting for them,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not, I'm not a fan them. Why
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: would you not then move on and adopt a new
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: team as you're baking to do that? That's you grew
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: up with the team because of your ties to it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I don't have any ties any other teams, and I'd
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: rather just be able to enjoy watching the NFL as
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a as a fan.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I kind of went down that road with the Rams
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: through a couple of decades of futility. They were still
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: my team, but I didn't actively follow them. Even when
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I had a NFL Sunday ticket, I didn't. I didn't
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: watch him as much or whatever because it was frustrating
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to watch him. But that still kind of hung onto
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and clung the hope even as Georgia Frontier was owning them,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that eventually a new owner might come in and might
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: turn And that's exactly what happened with the Rams. Now
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: we know that not to be the case with the Cowboys,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: because Jerry will own the team until he perishes, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: then Steven is going to run the team and be
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: true belief that he's not going to do anything different
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: than how Jerry.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It kind of sounds like he's already somewhat running the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: team from everything I've read, And if that's the case,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: then he's a big part of why the Cowboys are
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: where they're at right now.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So I just wanted to lay that out there.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: You know, that's that's where Cameron stood with his team,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: because I know I've had several people say, well, Cameron
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: sounds miserable. I said, well, he's not really miserable per se.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: He watches other thing, but he is completely disenchanted with
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: his team. And they're like, well, why did he switch teams?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: But you say, that's not the way to do it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You can't do that as a sports fan, just gonna
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: switch teams because your team is bad. Now, my son's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: done it twice. My oldest he was he was a
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Jaguars fan when he was little, and and he he
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: reconciled his in his mind when they weren't good that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: he became a fan mainly because of the uniform, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that was by large, as I do remember it, although
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: he did really like Mark Brunell and Fred Taylor back
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in those days. But then he said, you know, I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: live in Texas, I should be a Cowboys fan. Uh.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So then he put all of his emotional equity into
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, which I warned him not to do, and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: he rooted vociferously for them for many years, bought the merch,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: went to the uh went to games. He was at
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that Green Bay playoff game. And so then finally, I think,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: also in conjunction with the young lady that he has
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: had as his girlfriend for over a year now. She's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: from Wisconsin, but she's not necessarily a big Packer fan.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: So they decided on their own to adopt the new
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: NFL team and make it their favorite team. And they,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason picked the Miami Dolphins. So because they
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: think there's some hope on down the road for the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Dolphins or whatever who just missed the playoffs, and they
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: like Mike McDaniels, the head coach. So yeah, you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: so they went that. Rob. But you're saying, you can't
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: emotionally divorce yourself from the Cowboys.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You can't quit them. No, you know, I don't think so,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I mean quit them. I had no emotional attachment to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys this season. I felt no feelings this year
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and continue to do that until some Mets drastic changes happen.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: And it's just not going to happen currently with the
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: way Jerry and Steven have been operating this Cowboys team.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: And you say that, you know because in some folks
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: mind what you just said. They said, well, they're already
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: dead to him, he might as well move on to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: another team. But you're saying you can't invest your rooting interest,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in your emotions in another team because of that, You're
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: just you're just kind of in purgatory right now as
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a fan because the team that you grew up rooting
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: for and through all of these years in into your
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: adult life has disappointed and disenfranchised you to the point
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: where you cannot root for them, but you cannot find
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: some other flare in your heart to be able to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: root for another team. Is that right? Well? I enjoy
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: watching football.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed the football this past weekend, and it's fun
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to be able to watch a game without having rooting interest.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, Phil's Ravens with a lot of fun that
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: came down to the very end. The same thing for
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Commanders and Lions. So Ramsey or Ramse Eagles really enjoy that.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Chiefs Texan So you know the Rob lowme with him
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: watching the football game with the NFL haad on, that's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: me and he'll continue to be me the foreseeable future,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: and I'm okay with it. It's you know, I'm excited to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: see if Mahomes can win three straight. I'm excited to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: see maybe if Bill's Mafia and Josh Allen can can
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: finally get over the hump again.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: But you're rooting for either one to beat the other.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: You know, I think I have a little bit more
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: rooting interest for the Chiefs probably sixty forty now Eagles
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Commanders that that one's tough because they are arrival with
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Now, I still hate the Eagles.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I can't stand Nick Siriannie, so Commanders and it's and
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of on dan Quinn's side, especially because he
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: was let go by the Cowboys. So that would really
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: just stick it to Jerry Jones, just really stick with
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: dan Quinn going to the Super Bowl. Half of the
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: defense is former Cowboys players, that'd be funny. And of
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: course Sam caused me. He's a long horn even though
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I think he got banged up pretty bad and they're
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the Vision a round win.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Hope he's okay.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I thought some prayers with him, but it'll be fun
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: to see, you know, and you know, Chiefs have I
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: think they have one long horn on their team. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: think the Bills have anybody and Eagles of course more
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Ojabo got his first sack of the season and that
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: was the final drive.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well, uh okay, you know, I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: just thought it because they get asked a lot about this.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: People ask me about you, but then and some people
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: feel for you, and then some people are just curious
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: as to how you can completely cut off your allegiance
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to one team without transferring allegiance to another, that you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: can just kind of float out there and do it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: But you're saying it's it's really.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Not that diff If your partner is abusing you, yeah,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: you know, emotionally, is the best team to just cut
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: them off?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you do, But then they usually go and they
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: find another partner. Sometimes some they don't.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe you don't, you know, maybe that's just just you know,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: be single for life.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So there it is that's out there
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: that they're okay. We've got other things that are gonna
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: get do. We will talk some more about the NFL playoffs.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Arthur Kaluma, the long worn basketball team.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: What a big win for Texas last night beating Missouri
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: twenty second rand Missouri at Moody Center sixty three and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Kluma had a double double in the game. We'll hear
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: from him this hour. We do have Inconceivable, got a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: couple of fast food junk food related items and then
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a couple other bizarre stories that could only fall into
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the file of Inconceivable. We'll have that. We'll talk more
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: college basketball of the men's and women's vari who's a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: big game tomorrow night for the Texas women at home
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: against Tennessee. And we'll also hear from Rodney Terry Longhorn
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: men's coach. That'll be coming up to the four o'clock
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: hour as well. So we've got a lot on the table.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: As always, we're more than happy to welcome your input,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: your questions, your thoughts, your comments. You can do that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a couple of different ways. One you can reach us
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: via text on the text line. You text the word
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: texas followed by your question of comment to eight one
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: five three zero. So text the word texas follow by
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: your question or comment to eight one five three zero.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Standard messaging and data rates may apply. And the other
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: way is our talkback feature. If you have the iHeart
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Radio app downloaded on your smartphone, really easy to do.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: If you don't, you can do it. It's free and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: easy and all that. And then you just search in
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the little search window. AM thirteen under the Zone pops
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: right up, and there's a there are two buttons there.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: One's a little white arrow butt and that's if you
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: just want to listen to what's going on the air.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: But there's a red button with a white microphone inside it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You tap that button. That's our talkback feature and you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: can leave us a voice message of up to thirty
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: seconds and we'll play it on the air. That's another
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: way to reach out to us there on the talkback
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: feature on the iHeart Radio app. So a lot of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: things to get to that's coming up here on AM
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: thirteen under the Zone and where you always listen to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: us for free on the iHeart Radio app. Last night
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: at Moody Center. Texas kind of went over Missouri sixty
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: one to fifty three, and it came at the night
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: with a long word shot only thirty four percent from
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the floor, only twenty percent from three point range. There
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: were four of twenty. But they did several things very well.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: First of all, they defended a Missouri team that came
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: into the game shooting thirty eight percent as a team
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: from three point range. That's really impressive if you know
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: how the math works. If you're if you're shooting forty
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: percent from three point range, that's the same as fifty
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: percent from inside the arc, and most teams shoot around
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: thirty thirty one, thirty two, thirty three. I think the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: long Run shoot thirty four percent, although that percent has
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: probably went down last night since they only had four
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: out of twenty, but most teams shoot in the low
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: thirty percent tile off that the better ones can shoot
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: toward the mid Well, they shoot thirty eight percent as
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a team, but they miss some shots early from beyond
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the arc, and the long Runes did a good job
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: depending on the perimeter. Julian Larry did a really good
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: job working against Caleb Grill, the former Iowa State guard
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: who camera noticed. You know, look, how old did you say?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Caleb Grill looked to you in the game last He
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: was a six year senior.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I thought he was my age for a second. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: actually googled. I actually googled his name, and it was like, Okay,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: he's got to be twenty seven years old. He's twenty four. Yeah,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: but it's funny. One of the director of player recruiting
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: at Texas, Tristan Lacone's been the staff for a few years,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: actually played against him when he was at Iowa State.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: When Tristan when Chris Pierre was the coach and Tristan
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: was on the team. Yeah, Christan was on the team.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: That was three years ago, and he had already been
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: there for a bit, had Caleb girl. And then he
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: wound up being dismissed from the team, and then he
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: came back, and then he winds up transferring. So anyway,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: all of that happens, and so the lord Wards had
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: a good job defending the three. The other thing they
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: had to do was really dig down and have some
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: resilience because they went through a stretch in the second half.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I told her their shooting percentage wasn't great and neither
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: was Missouri. In fact, if you watch the first part
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: of the game and you'll hear Rodney Terry talk about
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: that was it two to one at the first time out? Yes,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: it was two to one at the first time out.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I think it was six to five. No, it was
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: five to four at the second because they they changed
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the call on what they originally called a goaltending call,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: which was a bad call. The ball was still well
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: on the rise and wasn't in the cylinder and they
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: called goldtending at first. But they're able to go back
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and review that, and they did that during the second
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: time out ruled that it was indeed not goaltending against Texas,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: So it took a basketbak from Missouri. It was five
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to four at that point at the under twelve time
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: out of the first half, and then late in the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: first half, long Runs did hit some big shots down
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the tragic got some stops and they were up seven
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: at the half thirty two to twenty five. But Missouri
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: right out of the gate attacked him the second half,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: hit a three, hit some other shots, eventually took the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: lead and held the lean most of the second half.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: In fact, they had a foot It wasn't a big lead.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Their largest leave was four points, but the Longhorns were
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: really struggling to make shots. It was forty five forty
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: one Missouri with eight minutes to go in the game,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and then the Longhorns went on a run. They closed
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: out the game on a twenty to eight run to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: win the contest sixty one to fifty three. Arthur Klume
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: had a lot to do with it. He had fourteen
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: points twelve rebounds, his seventh double digit rebounding game of
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the season, his fifth double double of the season. He
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: had a gigantic put back bucket off a miss down
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the stretch of the game that widened the Longhorn lead
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to five at that point, and was just a big
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: party and he was a big leader. And that's one
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: thing that folks had wondered about this Texas team. Who
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: are the leaders of this team? Well, Kaalum was definitely
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: one of those. And we visited with him after the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: game to talk about the impact of this win and
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: how they went about achieving it. Because I know it
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: took an awful lot from you and your teammates to
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: turn this thing around tonight. But if you've got a
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: chance and that's some determination. How about your faults on
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: boots that I lost.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was an offensive game for us tonight,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: but still being able to grind it out, you know,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: really crash the glass hard even though shots aren't falling
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: and getting second team he grew up.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: As a team today you definitely do. How important is
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: it when shots aren't falling to.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Especially in the league like this. I mean, you're gonna
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: be playing time every night. There's no chance that you
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: can't win without d games.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: And as the games go on, I see you guys
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: getting close. Now, you guys you're young, you've been now
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: together and you see like this team's really coming together.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: As far as leadership.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: There, I mean, we got a lot of older guys
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: on our team, me, Treymont and Kayden said, especially with
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Julian Larry and Jason Kent, we're a pretty old team.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I mean that leadership portion has to come in and
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: as young players that are really gonna make the impact.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you about that work you did on
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: the glouts on that lous when you were not gonna
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: let anybody get close to you.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, that one was fine, but hit back
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: on and I knew it was gonna bounce off a
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: certain way.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I was like, Yeah, that's my boy. How important is that?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And then be knowing that you gotta know was shot
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: at the he's cooking in on Saturday.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I know we saw had the last time we paid
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: against him, and now they come home.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: All right, Hey, great job that I appreciate the time. Yes,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: all right, Arthur Kaluma and well traveled player. By the way.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: You know, the long Ones faced him three years ago
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: when he played for Creighton when they came in and
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: that and uh, they were ranked very highly and Texas
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: won that game at uh uh at the Irwin Center.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: And that was three years ago. And then for two seasons, uh,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: they went up against him when he was playing for
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Kansas State, and I was always impressed by how hard
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: that guy works and how he can kind of be
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: a beast and he also hit a big three and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and uh, and I think
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Texas is fortunate to have him. He's he's really provided also,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of doing the dirty work that didn't
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: attract much attention. Kayden Shedrick had nine points, nine rebounds
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: in the game and a block shot and and also
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: just here's the tallest guy, the biggest guy on the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: floor for Texas Cam and he just completely disregard for
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: his own body crashing before it. This guy has had
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: double shoulder surgery and ankle issues and things like that,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: diving Todd the floor to get a big tie up
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: when the long wornes were making their push down the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: stretch of the game. He's another guy that just kind
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: of gave all out effort last night.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I thought he played one of his best games of
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: the season last night against Missouri in terms of the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: way he attacked the glass, the way he battled down low.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was a grind of a game last night.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: It was a tough game and the team that was
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: going to be tougher was going to win it. And
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I thought, maybe for the first time this season, we
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: saw that out of Texas from start to finish. I mean,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: there was a chance Craig Missoo went up by four
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: in the second half, and we saw this against A
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: and M and Missouri I'm sorry, Florida and Tennessee. All
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: three games where it was close in the second half,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: one possession games, and all of a sudden the game
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: was in the balance. Texas just either ran out of
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: gas or sort of settling or just started giving up
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: offensive rebounds and the other team was able to pull away.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I thought, for a second, Okay, here we go. This
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: is gonna end up just like Tennessee in A and M.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: And it flipped, and we heard Klumas say it, we
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: heard our tea say it. The team grew up last night.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: And it's a huge win, A huge win in a
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: huge credit Caden Shaddick the way he battled down low
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: and Tremon Mark didn't. He struggled to shoot the ball
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: well one to six, but defensively he played great and
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: he was hustling as well. Where we're starting to see
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: that out of these guys kind of grow together as
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: a team.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Because if you want to.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Win in this league, and you want to make it
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: BENSA a tournament team, you got to play like that
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: almost every night.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Crag.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, seven of the first eight games in Conference
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: player coming against top twenty five teams. That's an insane
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: start to the season. So Texas a huge win last night.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: They jumped to thirty three in the net ranking, and
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: I think the cogn to the coaches, they think seven
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: wins will get them in the tournament. Seven wins in conference,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: but two and five right now, a tough one on
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Saturday against A and M. You got Ole Miss, two
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: and four, two and four, you got Ole Miss coming
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: up next week on the road, an Ole Miss team.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: It's very well coached under Chris Beard.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: So to be able to pick the pick up that
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: win last night, I think that was a must win
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: game and Long Horns got it done.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, beating a ranked opponent, quad one victory, all of
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: those kinds of things. They do have another shot at
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the Gaggi's and a chance to build some more minimum
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: because that has escaped them this year. Come up with
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a big win like the one at Oklahoma. Unfortunately, this
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: schedule had them traveling the face fifth ranked Florida on
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: the road and they lose to Florida, a team which
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: by the way, lost at holding the Missouri Florida did.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: But the long Horns are able to beat Missouri at home,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a ranked opponent, and to get a quad one win.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: So a chance to build on that with A and
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: M coming in on Saturday afternoon, that's a one thirty
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: tip off, one o'clock pre game start time here on
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the Zone. They'll have that before they go to Oxford
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: to take on Ole Miss. So yeah, there's the opportunities
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: there if they can continue to try to build on that.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, we'll move on to Inconceivable.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: We have some inconceivable and we will talk more about
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: this Texas victory and any questions or comments you have
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: on that, you can hit us on the text line
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: for that or on the you know, on the talk
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: back feature you can do that as well. So we'll
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: get to those. We've got pro football to get to.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: And yeah, some closing thoughts on the college football season
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: now that that game is in the books. Cam and
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I were both on a plane coming back from Newark,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: New Jersey on Monday night when that game was being
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: decided in favor of Ohio State over Notre Dame. But
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about all of those things and more. We'll
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: continue here on The Craigway Show on AM thirteen under
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the Zone. Craigway alongside the producer Cam Parker, glad to
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: have you with us here on this Wednesday afternoon, weather
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: warming up a little bit kind of nasty, obviously. Would
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: you like to tell people about our arrival back in
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Austin late Monday night, not that they would care, but
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: just you know, with a different, a different on how
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the weather placed in all of this, you know.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: And Sunday we landed in Newark about one pm Eastern time,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: that's right in New Jersey. And I had texts from
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: from friends who were in New Jersey who I was
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: going to meet up with, saying, you still coming. We
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: got a winter storm. It's going to be an omen
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: of mine, be a blizzard. But yeah, flight's still good,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: So we're good. And you know, we landed and the
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: flurries were coming, and then we got about what five inches,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: and we drove We drove through it on the way
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: to the team dinner and on the way back.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: It's kind of inside. Yeah, you know, I had a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: lot of people I posted a picture of that, folks like,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh. You know, it was like what you
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: don't understand is what a lot of people didn't understand, uh,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: was how up there they're equipped to handle that deal. Yes,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: they have snowplows out stuff like, but they had human
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: beings out on the street working for the city whatever,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: shoveling snow out those those roads. You could almost eat
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: off of them even in it with five inches of
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: snow falling.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know, eating part by very clear at the
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: see that. Yeah, they're prepared for that type of stuff,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: whereas you know Texas, eh, five inches, it would probably
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: shut down the state for like a month, but you know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: for them, that's nothing like a drizzle rainfall. So yeah,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: we got back what Monday night about one am, one
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: thirty am, I think close to that, and of course
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the snow was falling, so you know, I landed. It's
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: twenty eight degrees outside and it's like, man, I thought
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: we left New York, but we got home Roland. I
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: don't know what day it is, Craig, I don't know
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: what time zone I'm in, but it's it's been a
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: fun week.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: You know. We had some wins, had some losses.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: We saw Texas Woman's take down a very good Maryland
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: team by thirty eight points, you know, out their second
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: win by thirty points or more against a top twenty
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: five team, which is pretty impressive.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Now, of course there's some masteris.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: You know, Alabama didn't have Sarah Ashley Barker all SEC
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: and Maryland lost Shyenne Sellars, the Big Ten player of
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: the week in the second quarter. But still there are
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: two teams that are really good, you know, losing a
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: player or not. Every team's got injuries on the men's side.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Well, and by the way, Texas already at a huge
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: league when Sellers went yeah that injury.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Still felt like Texas, just with a size advantage, was
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: gonna win that game on the men's side, Craig, I
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: think that we're seeing the schedule part of it play
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: a factor. And you know, I think Texas fans, you know,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: how do you lose to Florida by twenty points? You know, like, ah,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: here's the thing. And I think Artist said this in
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: this post game press conference yesterday. I think I saw
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Eric Henry from two four seven right about it. We
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: played Oklahoma or Texas play Oklahoma last Wednesday nine pm.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Tip ridiculous but TESPN tribleheader. It's how at work. So
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: we got back at three in the morning, right, those
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: guys probably get back to their dorms three thirty four am,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: wake up a little bit over. Twenty four hours later,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: they're back at the airport. You fly to Florida, you
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: lose an hour, and then you play a Florida team
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: that's been at home all week. Right, I know they
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: lost the Missouri by one point, but they have been
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: home all week. You get in play a top ten
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: team and a team that I think is the second
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: best to you in the Southeastern Conference, and the second
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: half of that game, it was pretty.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Clear that Texas ran out of gas.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Now, you know, there's some things they need to work on,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: right Still, obviously it's part of it, and traveling is
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: part of the schedule, but you kind of see it,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: right you kind of. I mean, was it Iowa who
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: it was one of the ACC schools? Think maybe been
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Stanford on their East coast trip and you know they
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: got blown out, blown out because you know, this west
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: coast east coast travel is a lot and it's taking
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: effect I think on the student athletes. The student part
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: for sure, but also I mean, all this travel, it's
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: tough on these guys. And when you have a school
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: that's been at home all week versus a school that's
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: been traveling all week, there is an advantage. And I
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: think we're going to see that, not just with Texas,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: but also with a lot of other SEC schools. So
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: you know, I think we're going to see some Saturday
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: games where the scores there's gonna be a big blowout.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Right. We saw with Tennessee, right, they got destroyed by Florida.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think tennis See is worse than Florida by
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: twenty plus points, but they caught him on the right week.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: And we're gonna see that throughout the Southeastern schedule. You're
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: gonna see it with the ACC and in the Big Ten,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: with how these schools are traveling. We're gonna see it
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: in the entire year, and we're gonna get the tournament
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: time and you're gonna be fill out your bracket and
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be wondering, how did this team lose by
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: twenty but then they beat this other team by twenty
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: It's like, well, look at the travel schedule that week.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: So things that keep in play.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: You know, we always heard about the NBA in the
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: back to backs, and for a while it was always
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: on Twitter. NBA Twitter people were making money off gambling
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: because they realized, Hey, a team that's playing on a
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: back to back on a West coast trip is probably
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: gonna get killed because their legs are gonna be tired.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: And now the NBA's on a good job of scheduling
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: and there's limited amounts of back to back and there's
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: more rest days.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: But for a while there.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Under the David Stern era when he was trying to
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: get as much basketball in as possible in a limited
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: amount of time, the travel caught up to the NBA
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: teams and NBA players, and not just the ones in
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: big cities like Houston or Atlanta where James Harden to
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: go to and go out club the night before.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: West Coast, East coast. It plays a.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Factor, and I think it played a factory in Texas's
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: week this past week and they're lost to Florida and
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: we're going to see it down the road another school.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: So just a thing to keep in mind of a
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: good bounce back win for a Texas team that you know,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: by the way, had went forty eight hours home forty
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: and they got back late Saturday night about ten eleven pm. Probably,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: so a quick turnaround for them.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: And maybe, just maybe they may be starting to get
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: a break with the schedule a little bit, because after
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: going Saturday Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday Tuesday, with a lot
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: of those quick turnarounds, road follow by home, follow by road,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: follow by road again, those things, they are now going
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: into a period of the next three weeks where they
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: will go Saturday Wednesday, Saturday, Wednesday Saturday before their next
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Tuesday game, which will be a home game against a
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: really good Alabama team. But really they get that extra
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: day the Saturday to Wednesday. That helps. Meanwhile, on Saturday
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: at home, they'll play Texas A and M. Now the
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Aggies have only to bust over on Friday night or
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Friday afternoon to Friday evening. But they're going to be
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: coming off a game in Oxford tonight at sixteenth ranked
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Old Miss, which by the way, is where the long
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: wrns will be Next Wednesday is at sixteenth ranked Old Miss.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Chris Beard's team Miss fifteen and three. They come off
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: an overtime loss at a good Mississippi State team, and
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: so they host Texas A and M tonight. The Aggies
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: are fourteen and four, they're three and two in the SEC,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and Ole Miss is fifteen and three and they're four
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: and one in the SEC. So that's going to be
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: interesting to see how all of that goes down.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: They that schedule, Craig A and M. Was it now
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: going to be three straight games? Begats the top twenty
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: five teams? Yeah, and possibly on a three game Losing
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Street coming into Austin on Saturday.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: True, so big game. It's always big obviously when it's
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Texas against A and M. Cotton Holdings Lone Stars Showdown,
• 27:59

  Speaker 1: Did I fix it? Ryan? I can't say as I
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: personally went out there and fixed those satellite dishes. I
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: did find out today, However, I did get an answer
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: on that. We had a conference call recapping the football
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: season I'm talking about next year with folks with lear
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Field and with our Long Horn Radio Network crew, and
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: did find out it was a satellite power outage that
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: caused those problems early. They hoped they had that all
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: addressed and fixed. With regard to your second question, the
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Saturday game will not be on ninety eight one because
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: that's a day game that the games that are on
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: ninety eight one are evening contest right after seven pm
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: seven pm.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: On as long as it as long as it tips off,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I think before seven thirty were good.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so so there there you go. So that's
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: that's the case with that last night scheme was on
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: ninety eight one, yep, yep. When I was talking about
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the giant bug, that that Darth Vader bug off the
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: coast of Vietnam, somebody said, that story reminds me of
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the movie Tom Horn. Steve McQueen staring at a lobster
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: on his plate. What's the matter, Tom, I've never eaten
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: a bug that that big before. That's good, so he'll say, hey,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: it tastes like chicken.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Uh. Music trivia because this is a yacht rock Wednesday,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: and we were playing Rosanna. So Rosanna Arquette is the
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: only person to have not one, but two number one
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: songs written about her Rosanna, which I think most everybody knew,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and if you didn't know, in fact, we'll come back
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: with it because it fits into yacht rock. It does
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the great Peter Gabriel in your eyes. So there, we'll
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: bring it back on that when we get to the break,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: which we're up at right now. So we said thank
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: you for returning to air and sparing us the exploits
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: of Doug Gottlieb and its hapless basketball team. Now we
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to hear, you know, Doug Gottlieb
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: is on Fox Sports Radio. And when this program isn't
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: on the air, when we have and we're going to
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: have a couple more situations like that due to travel
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: and or weather entanglements, it does happen. And so the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb Show is still happening. But there are many
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: of you who do not realize he's now the coach
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: of the Division one basketball team. He's the coach at
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Green Bay. And would you say the Phoenix were or
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: is something like two and fifteen or something? They've lost
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: fifteen street games? Wow, I mean double check. Yeah, I
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: think it started. Actually, sorry, I think eighteen street games
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: eighteen straight two eighteen two and eighteen.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: No, I'm sorry, So well, hold on exhibit games. They
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: So they've lost fifteen straight games. They started out two
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: and three. I've lost fifteenth streets.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, they're two and eighteen for the season, but they've
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: lost fifteen in the row. Yes, and yet he's still
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: doing his radio show too. Maybe that's the issue. I
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: don't know. Uh so no. So anyway, that's that's the deal.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: So we're here, we'll be here tomorrow, we'll be here Friday,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and we'll see how it is going forward. You know,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: some of the travel dates for Cameron, because you know,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Cameron is a road engineer for a long worn men's
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: basketball broadcast, and so it takes both of us out
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: of a show on occasion. So that does happen on occasion.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: But we will have We have not had Andrew Zimmele.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: We haven't had the simple hours, but we will have
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: him next week. We'll be out I believe, Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: and Friday of next week traveling for Oxford and for
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Baton Rouge. Right, but Andrew Zimmel the similar hours, similar hours, Yeah,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: simile days with the six man as we call it.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Andrew Zimmel. I went off the bench. Yeah, there we go.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Hey, coming up, We've got some more NFL
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: notes and college football to get to when we come
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: back here on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Speaking of basketball, have you kept up with Greg Popovich lately?
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, so the update today about him and his return,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: and they're still just you know, not being sure. I
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: mean he had a stroke, Greig, So yeah, you know,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: first things first, take.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Care of yourself. RC Buford, the CEO, said that he
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: is getting better. He's been aggressive in his recovery from
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the stroke. The Spurs are in Paris to play the
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Pacers this week, a couple of games, of course, kind
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of homecoming for Wimby. On that Youfford said, quote, all
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I can share is he's attacking his rehab in a
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: way that you know Pop, You've observed him for years.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: That is what he said today. The same resilience that
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: he's shown over the course of our career as a coach,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: He's approaching his return and his rehab in an incredibly
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: unique way. The relationships that he's having our former players
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: and the care they're sharing with him is amazing, and
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: his improvement continues. Nobody knows when or even if Papovitch
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: will be back on the sideline, and Buford says there's
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: no timeline in place. He said, quote, I don't know
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: that we have any way to judge the clock. Predicting
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: what's to come is just to function where Pop's rehab goes.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: So they're saying he's still he still calls, said Chris Paul.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: There's still communication going on and things like that. So anyway,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: that's an update there on Greg Popovich. I wanted to
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: get to college football briefly here. We didn't get a
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: chance to see most of the National Championship game between
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Ohio State and Notre Dame, given that we were in
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the air flying back from the door. We did see
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: what most of the the second quarter right, a good
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: chunk of the first half, and we saw when Ohio
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: State kind of took command of the game of those
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: two second quarter touchdowns, but didn't Notre Dame didn't make
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: a push late in the game. They got it back
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to within eight and then before before Ohio State was
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: able to make the stop and get the field goal
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: to make it a two score game and put it
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: out of reach. So Final AP Poll comes out a
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: lot of conversation about this, although I don't think it
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: really matters that much. Ohio State number one, Notre Dame
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: number two, Oregon third, Texas fourth, Penn State fifth, first
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: time in AP history the three Big Ten schools have
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: been ranked in the top five of the final poll.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Then it finishes with Georgia, Arizona State, Boise State, Tennessee,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: and Indiana to round out the top ten. Second ten
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Ole miss is SMU at number twelve. It's the highest
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: finish they had since they were number eight in nineteen
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: eighty four, forty years ago pre death penalty. Then BYU Clemson,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Iowa State, Illinois, Alabama, Miami, South Carolina and Syracuse. The
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: final five in the pole Army Missouri, un L V.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Memphis and Colorado or there or the way is how
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: that finished up. So anyway, Longhorns finished number four in
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: the poll. I don't think it matters whether they're three
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: or four, really doesn't matter. Some folks that I should
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Organ him been in organ only lost one game. The
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: common thread they both lost to Ohio State. It's a
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: common threat of Notre Dame. They all lost to Ohio
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: State there. I know some folks from grumbling about how
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Texas could finish ahead of Georgia when Georgia beat the
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: long Worns twice. But you know, Georgia got knocked out
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: by Notre Dame in the quarterfinal or the semifinal, whereas
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: or in the quarterfinal, whereas Texas had the opportunity there
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: in to win that semifinal against Ohio State or at
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: least get it to overtime before it got away again.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think it matters that much. It's more talking
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: points I think for fans probably, and they can put
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: in there it was a top five finish in the
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: polls and things like that, and number four, I think
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the more significant number out of this for Texas. It's
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: something I mentioned last week. The Longhorns in the last
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: two years have gone twenty five and five and er
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Sark and I saw and I don't remember. Maybe Billy
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Luci had it with it its A and M Side,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I can't remember. But some other folks posted this as well,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: and they were showing comparisons between Jimbo Fisher and Sark
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: after four years, and they were like real close, and
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Jimbo had like better numbers on a couple of things.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: What is glaringly left out of that is that those
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: the most impressive of those numbers for Jimbo were in
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: the first couple of years. It was already on the
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: downslide by year four. It's just the opposite with Sark
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: where it was started five and eight, then five and seven,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: then eight and five, and then twelve and two and
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: thirteen and three after that. So they've gone twenty five
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: in five the last couple of years, and I think
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: that's the more significant thing, the upward tick, the upward trend,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: not the overall tally of four years. Jimbo Fisher is
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: what a snake oil salesman in Steve Sarkisian. He won
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: a national title.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he did with a fantastic team, and that was
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: like a decade ago. I mean, how many college football
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: playoff berts the Jimo Fisher have zero? How many the
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: sarkav two? If you want to say, well, well they
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: expanded for okay, the top four format Sark one, Jimbo zero.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: So that that that that makes me ill hearing people
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: compare Jimbo Fisher to Steve Sarkisian. Watch Jimbo's offenses the
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: last decade in watch Sarks and then you'll realize, Okay,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: these are not the two same head coaches. Give them
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: credit Florida State, but I think he kind of just
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: struck gold there with Jamis Winston and the amount of
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: talent that team had on both sides of the ball.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: But at A and M no night and day difference
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: between him and Steve Sarkisian. Oh, okay, I wanted to
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: get that note in before we went back over to
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: the NFL. Uh here and uh discuss what we're looking
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: at this weekend. We'll conference championship games two weeks ago,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: I guess it was. I think it was two weeks ago.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Who knows, who knows?
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: It's been a blur the last Wednesday right on the air,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: and what a decade like last Tuesday we did a
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: show or something like that.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: No, because we were in Norman last Tuesday, last Monday.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Last Monday was the last time we were in the studio.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, folks, you know we're sorry.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Did we I'm trying to think, did we do a
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: show because we.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Left Tuesday for Norman? We were gone the entire week.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Because we got back Thursday. We didn't have a show Thursday,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: because I believe rod Babers filled.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: In for us. Oh that's right. I I well Monday,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I had. I had Long Worn Weekly on Thursday, and
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: we will have that tomorrow night. A couple of things
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: happening tomorrow. LongRun Weekly with Rodney Terry will come away
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: from Pluckers Live the West Campus location. Will have that
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: at six o'clock. Roger Wallace will step in for me
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: on the Texas women's game. They tip at seven at
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Moody Center against seventeenth rank Tennessee. That should be a
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: good matchup on that really good. Yeah, But we will
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: have daily shows obviously today and then Tomorrow and Friday,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: and then I will go to Oxford, Mississippi, to call
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: the Texas women's game against a good old Miss team
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon, come back, and then we'll be in
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: studio on Monday before we leave Tuesday for Oxford for
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: the men's game. Correct, Yes, because we have the men's
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: game at home on Saturday against A and m then
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: off to Oxford. I'll go to call the women's game Sunday,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: come back, We have a show Monday, then Tuesday, we
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: go to Oxford whether Tuesday Wednesday, and we come back
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: after that. When do we tip out against Ole Miss?
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: What?
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Probably? Nah? I think it's the atm Yeah, it's another
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: eight of car Yeah, so there'll be some more of that.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I would love if we get one of these
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: six pm tips. Please throw us a bone here.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be nice. But they know what TV ratings
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: say about Texas. It's funny bring that up because a
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: little radio business for you on a conference call that
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: we had today or a teams meeting with folks from
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: lear Field and the network and everything. They pulled up
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: a graphic, a chart, a spreadsheet showing what listenership was
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: just online online, not here on thirteen hundred the zone,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: not on not ey of one kvit FM, but just
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: online listeners meaning apps or listing online. Uh, to long
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: run football games. The numbers were astronomically big. Uh. Texas
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: was number uh one, two or three in about every category.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: There were a couple of categories were like Arkansas and
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: West Virginia had some larger numbers. When you think about
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: they're no pro sports teams in those states, uh, you
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: know that kind of thing. No NBA teams, no NFL teams,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: no NHL teams, no Major League Baseball teams, none of
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: those in those states. So obviously they're gonna they're gonna
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: have the Lion's chair of the listing audience on those
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: kinds of things anyway, But even on some categories, Texas
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: outpays some of those. So obviously there's a great deal
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: of interest in the Longhorns and the long run football program.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: So uh, yeah, it was. It was pretty significant off
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: of that all right. Up next, we've got a couple
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: of NFL and will gather together and get to you
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: when we continue here on thirteen under the Zone. I
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: have to confess I am neither a fan of nor
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: nor a non fan of In other words, people who
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: root against this team all the time, I'm neither. When
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: it comes to the Kansas City Chiefs, I'm not fat.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I remember one of the first Super Bowls I remember
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: as little kid, was there upset of the Vikings in
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl four. That was really cool. And I remember
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: rooting for the Chiefs of that, and I always kind
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: of liked the Chiefs a little bit, but it was
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: never really a huge fan of theirs, or non fan
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: or whatever. And even as they got good and as
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: have come up with what three super Bowl titles in
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: the last five years, I guess I don't you know,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel any antipathy toward them or to Patrick Mahomes.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for pasta trick Mahomes
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: game and the way he plays the game, and several
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: of the Chiefs. Now there's some guys that I don't
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: necessarily for that played for Kansas City, but they're guys
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: who did and there were Longhorns that played for the
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: Chiefs that I really admired, Guys that I've gotten to
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: know all through the years, like obviously Derek Johnson, Alex
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: okafor recently Jamal Charles, guys who played in Kansas City.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Always had great admiration and respect for the Hunt family
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: and what Lamar Hunt did in his founding of the
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: AFL in nineteen fifty nine and how it started, and
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: he started the franchise in Dallas as the Texans, and
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: they were even out drawing the Cowboys in their early
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: expansion years in the NFL. And the Texans actually won
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: the AFL title over the Houston Oilers in nineteen sixty
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: two and still the longest NFL game ever played to
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: this day, well into the second overtime and getting near
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: the end of the second overtime when they won it
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: on Tommy Brooker's twenty five yard field goal to win
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: twenty to seventeen. You know so, And then being the
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: guy who grasped the big picture of it, Lamar Hunt
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: knew that in order for the league to survive, he
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: had to have healthy franchises, and he didn't have They
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: didn't have healthy franchises. In every city. The Oakland Raiders
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: very nearly folded. The New York Titans went bankrupt before
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Sunny Werblin bawmb out and transformed them into the Jets,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: and that was another major chapter involved there. The Chargers
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: had to move from Los Angeles to San Diego and
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: eventually back to LA There were teams that were really struggling.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: The Texans were doing okay at the gate. In fact,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: they were out drawing the Cowboys. But in order for
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: the greater good of the American Football League, Lamar Hunt
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: moved the Dallas Texans to Kansas City and they became
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs of nineteen sixty three, fresh off winning the
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: AFL title, and then three years later they won the
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: AFL Championship, lost to the Packers in Super Bowl one,
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: and then three years after that they won Super Bowl four,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: beating the heavily favored Minnesota Vikings. They didn't win another
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl until Mahomes and the Chiefs beat the forty
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: nine Ers the first time. And they've had this great
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: run Kansas City, and Kansas City is trying to become
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: the first team in NFL history to win three straight
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls. The Packers won three straight quote unquote NFL
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: titles in sixty five, sixty six, and sixty seven, but
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: they didn't start the Super Bowl until after the sixty
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: six season, so Leny only won two Super Bowls back
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: to back. The Dolphins won two Super Bowls back to back,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl seven, Super Bowl eight. The Steelers won two
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls on back to back on two different occasions.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: The Patriots, as we know, have done that as well.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: But no team in the his tree of the NFL
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: has ever won three consecutive Super Bowls, and the Chiefs
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: are trying to get there now, and there are many
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: who feel that they're still kind of the odds on favorite.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: Then there are those who feel that the reason that
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: they are the odds on favorite is because they are
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: the odds on favorite of the officials in the NFL.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Cam, I don't even say that.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: It's just social media is just avalanched after every Chief's
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: game with how much the NFL is in it with
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: the officials to ensure the fact that the Chiefs win
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: and Mahomes is protected and the hit that he took
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: the other day should not have been flagged by will
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Anderson and Anderson said, what where we have to go
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: up against everybody? And he was talking about the officials
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: as well. So there's a lot of that that happens,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: and I've seen memes of I think it was Bill
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Vinovich the official wearing red white like Kansas City colors.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Uh and and and so there's a lot of frustration
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: out there from fans who feel that the Homes and
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs are getting favorable treatment by the officials.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing we went through with Tom Brady
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: and the Patriots, where in the postseason, you know theyough
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: always find the way to win, and you know, of
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: course there's going to be some big penalties, and it's like, yeah,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: the NFL just wants Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: the Patriots to win. I remember that when they beat
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Casey or Brady's last Super Bowl ring in New England.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: You know, there was a huge offside penalty against d
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I want to say D Gordon, but I don't think
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: that's his name on the defensive lineman. And I believe
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: there's a past interference called too both coming on like
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: third and fourth downs, I think, and a lot of
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: people thought, yeah, it's the NFL wants them to win.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Now it's the Chiefs turn. And it's because there when
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: you when a team gets so good and successful, thank you.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: You know, everyone wants them to lose, right, I think
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: more people now are anti Mahomes and the Chiefs than
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: they were, you know, three years ago. And you know
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: that's that's part of being successful. You know, some people
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: want them to lose. And now it's kind of turned
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: into this. Now here's a stat for you. I heard
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. Okay, I think in the playoffs, in
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: this playoff run for the Kansas City Chiefs in the
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter, their opponents have been flagged for forty eight penalties.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Do you know how many even flags against the Kansas
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: City Chiefs. No, forty seven, So it's that close, that close,
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: but based off Twitter, it's forty eight to nothing. Yeah, right,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: So for those of you who think the NFL is
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: in cahoots with the Chiefs, they've been called for one
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: less penalty than their opponents in the playoffs, all right,
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: one less penalty. They actually are one of the most
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: penalized teams in NFL. They're always they're an awful team
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: when it comes to penalties, but they just keep winning.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: So people are like, yeah, they're just getting all the calls. Yeah.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: So here's where I was going with this headline. Today.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes disagrees Chiefs are getting favorable calls. His quote was,
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: I don't feel that way. At the end of the day.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: The referees are doing their best to call the game
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: as fair and proper as they possibly can, and all
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: you can do is go out there and play the
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: game that you love as hard as you can and
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: live with the results. I think that's what we preach
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: here in Kansas City. You get new referees every year
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: because he needs officials. There's only one referee at a
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: time on the field anyway. You get new referees every
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: year in new circumstances, and you can never really tell
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: because every play is different, and that's what makes the
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: NFL so special. I feel like I've just continued to
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: play the game and I just try to win and
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: whatever kind of happens happens. Will Anderson said, we knew
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: it was going to be us versus the refs going
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: into this game. I didn't see if he got fined
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: for that, but it doesn't matter. I know Chris Boyd
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: may or may not have the texanss goofy with him
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: going over there to the sidelline and the shoving the special
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: teams coach. But that's Chris Boyd. We saw him on
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: display in Austin anyway. So the Chiefs are saying, I
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: don't you know, it's not like that. It's not like that,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: even though others are saying that it is like that.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: I would just say this, Mahomes is a different and
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: yes special kind of quarterback. He can make some plays
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: that other quarterbacks just cannot make. I think Matthew Stafford's
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: done a fine job as the Rams quarterback for the
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: team I root for. And by the way it was reported,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: think Kelly his wife, and he played those last last
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: game and a half with broken ribs in that game,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: and I thought he played really well against the Eagles.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: I walked away from that game as a Rams fan. Yeah,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: disappointed that they couldn't win in it. But if you
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: told me before, hey, they're going to have it inside
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: the twenty yard line inside the final minute, needing only
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: a touchdown and extra point to win the game in
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Philly in the snow, I would have said, give it
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: to me. I'll take that. I'll sign up for that
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: you know, eight days a week do that well. Anyway,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Stafford had a heck of a game, he had a
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: heck of a postseason. But he's not Patrick Mahomes. He
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: can't make the moves that Mahomes may, and the late
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: decisions that Mahomes can make with the football, whether to
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: keep or throw it. It's those late decisions that quite
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: often throw a defense out of balance and they wind
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: up getting called for a late hit, sometimes unfairly, and
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I think it was unfairly in the Will in the
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: case of the Will and Ers something. But to say
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: that the officials are in it for the Chiefs, No,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: I don't see that. And your number backs that up
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: what we were just talking about. All right, we'll be
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: back to wrap up our number two here. I'm thirteen
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: under the zone. Craig Way, the producer, Cameron Parker alongside
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: glad to have you with us. A couple of college
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: football notes and wanted to get to and then some
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: NFL notes as well. Okay, there were some rankings, final
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: rankings and early rankings and all the other kind of stuff,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: because we do live in a world of rankings, folks.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Like the rankings. ESPN had its top one hundred college
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: football player rankings of the twenty four twenty five season,
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: starting all the way with number one hundred with Barrett Carter,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: the Clemson linebacker, and then rolling on down the list.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Andrew mccouba checks in at number ninety three on the
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: top one hundred. Quinn Viewers ninety one. It's Quinn yours
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: and a lot of folks will go what ToJ Brooks
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: from Maynor? Number ninety The Texas Tech running back Jordan Tyson,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: who we did not get to see, is Brooks the
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: all time leading rusher for Texas Tech. I think he is.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Let me see, Yeah he is? For him yep, and
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: the only power for running back the top one hundred
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: yards in every game he played this year. It's only
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: good enough to be number ninety.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: And I believe they added another major product in the
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: transfer portal. Yeah, with a former USC running back cut
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: and Joiner. That is correct, all right?
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: So just skipping through a couple of other ones as
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: we moved down the list, like Blake Horvat, the Navy
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: quarterback was number eighty four. Trevion Henderson. Lorn fans are
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: familiar with Trevion Anderson, the catch and run seventy five
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: yards for the touchdown. In fact, that's the picture they're
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: showing up him. Number eighty three wasn't touched on that
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: play and was not touched on that play. Number eighty
• 53:41

• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Said those Twohow State players will not be playing in
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: Texas next year.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: That is correct. Several of these players are not going
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: to be back. That This was for the twenty twenty
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: four season. Riley Leonard, the Notre Dame quarterback, was number
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: seventy six. Matthew Golden, who will be off to the NFL,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Number seventy four in the list. Just rolling on that.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Diego Pavia who will be back to play for Vanderbilt
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: because he got his legal He was able to get
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: his lawsuit correctly interpreted by the NCAA and so now
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: he's going to be back. He'll be back. He was
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: number sixty nine on the list. And these were the
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: top one hundred college football players of the year. Lathan Ramsen,

• 54:54
  Speaker 1: K club Nick Clemson quarterback from west Lake, number fifty
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: three on this list. The guy who I thought was
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: as good a wide receiver as there wasn't all of
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: college football this year. Xavier Verstrepo in Miami called sixty
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: nine passes for eleven under twenty seven yards and eleven
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: touchdowns finished number fifty ranked fiftieth. Next, let's see and

  Speaker 1: that was the top one hundred players as ranked by
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: ESPN okay, so there was that. Now on the heels
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: of that comes the way too early rankings for next year.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: I've never been a big fan of these the way
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: too early thing, simply because it's just that it's way
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: too early because we don't know what guys might get hurt,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: which guys might be in the portal, which guys might
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: come into a team from the portal, So they have
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: the way too early rankings. So just going in reverse
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: order off of these way too early rankings, number twenty
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: five is Navy, twenty four is Vanderbilt, twenty three is Michigan,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: twenty two is Iowa State, Texas A and m is
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: number twenty one, SMU is twenty, Indiana nineteen, BYU eighteen, Ole,
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: miss seventeen, Florida is sixteen, Kansas State fifteen, Arizona State fourteen,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: Illinois thirteen, Alabama twelve, Miami number eleven, Tennessee number ten,
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: South Carolina number nine, LSU number eight, Georgia number seven,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: lost a lot off that team, Oregon number six, Clemson
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: number five, Notre Dame number four, Penn State number three,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: Ohio State number two, yep, Texas. Wow. Really number one
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: in the way too early ranking.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: So one versus two the start the twenty twenty five season. Man,
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: who would have thought that when that game is announced
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: a few years ago.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is NCAA dot COM's rankings, by the way,
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: that picked this. Stan Beckton, the writer for that and
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: his rite up on the Longhorns is quote. Texas has
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: something a lot of elite college football teams don't entering
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. A scene commodity a quarterback. It'll be
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: the Arch Manning era under center at Texas with longtime
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: starter Quin Viewers off to the NFL. Manning showed flashes
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: of greatness when he filled in in twenty twenty four,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: winning two starts against Louisiana Monroe Mississippi State. He finished
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: with nine hundred and thirty nine passing yards, nine passing touchdowns,
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: and four rushing touchdowns. Manning won't be alone, as Texas
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: will have plenty of talent. Wide Receiver Ryan Wingo was
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: one of the top freshmen in his position, and the
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: running back room is deep with players like CJ. Baxter
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: schedule to return. Defensively, linebacker Anthony Hill is a top
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: five defender in the country and defensive end Colin Simmons
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: looks like the future twenty twenty seven number one overall
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: pick in his freshman season. Malik Muhammad on the outside
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: can hold his own two. So yeah, the way too
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: early thing as Texas number one for what that's worth.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: And again, I'm not a big fan of way too
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: early rankings ever, but from a Texas perspective, yeah, that's hopeful. Yeah,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, way too early rankings are a
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: little bit ridiculous, especially since the transfer portal. You know,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: we still have the spring cycle to go through, there's
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: still injuries. I mean, we we do not really know
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: how these teams will look. But I'll tell you what
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: when when Texas goes up to Columbus, Ohio State will
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: look a lot different than what we saw at the
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: Cotton Bowl. No Will Howard, no Travon Henderson, likely quin
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Shawn Judkins will go to the NFL.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: No book cut. There will be Jeremiah Smith, I'll tell
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: you that. But Jack Sawyer, the two defensive linemen are gone,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: and basically their entire offensive line is gone. But also
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: on the Texas side, you could say the same thing, right,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have one offensive lineman back as a starter, sorry, Campbell,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: and you know Trevor Gooz being Colot's and have some experience,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: but you're not sorry not starting experience in the defensive line. Two.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: Obviously, Vernon has been brought in. Is will be gone,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: Alfred Collins will be gone, but you know Trey Moore
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: will be back, Colin Simmons will be back, Anthony Barren
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: Serell will be gone. Barren Scerell will be gone to Norton.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: Basically all the defensive tackles will be gone except for
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: Alex January. We've got some playing time, so it'll be
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: completely different teams. But I then you feel good about
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Texas going in the next season.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, all right. So there's some way too early stuff
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: to look at when we come back. I've got a
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: couple of NFL notes. And then we're gonna hear from
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Rodney Terry long worn men's basketball coach. Following that win
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: last night of the Missouri Tigers here on a Wednesday
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: afternoon on AM thirteen, out of the zone. Are you
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: familiar with this Tom you're serving by Karl? All right?
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: Do you know who it's about? Toothy Leary no, it's not.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: It's not it's not either. No, no, no, it's the
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: way that Carly Simon explained that it's it's kind of
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: an amalgam of several people. However, two people in in
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: specific come in for mention, and people clever guessers were
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: able to identify two of them. One of them was
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: David Geffen, the longtime record producer produced so many big,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: big name albums, produced John Lennon's final album before he
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: was killed, and several others as well. He was one
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: of the ones. And then the other one was the
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: actor Warren Batty, and interesting and when asked about it
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: because of her different relationships with different ones. When asked
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: about it, Carly Simon said, when asked about Warren Batty,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: she said, well, definitely the third verse. She admitted to
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: that the third verse verse. The third verse starts off
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: with the lyrics, Well, I heard you flew your lyric
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: jet her you went to uh up to Saratoga and
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: your horse naturally won. That's at the Saratoga you know
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: where they have the travers stakes and your horse naturally won.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: Then you flew your leared jet up to Nova Scotia
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: to see the total eclipse of the Sun. Where you're well,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: you're where you should be all the time, and when
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: you're not, you're with some underworld spy or the wife
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: of a close friend. So supposially that was about Warren
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Baty that that that third verse. Yeah, but it was
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: a big hit for Carly Simon, who and a little
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: one trivia there. Carly Simon grew up as a next
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: door neighbor to Jackie Robinson, the Jackie Robinson Yeah in
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: in uh in Connecticut, when when Jackie had I think
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: just retired and was a vice president for Chock Full
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: of Nuts Coffee, And she grew up next and she
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: said her dream if you if you watch the The
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Ken Burns documentary on Jackie Robin, she said her dream
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: was to be the centerfielder of the Dodgers. I was
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: playing her dream, she said. I was a tomboy, I
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: wanted to play baseball. He kind of taught her out
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: to play baseball, and she wanted she wanted to be
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: the center fielder for the Dodgers, she said. Ultimately she
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: diverted off to other pursuits. But yeah, grew up as
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: the next door neighbor to Jackie Robinson at least when
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: she was in her very young age. All right, I
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: want to get to a couple of things here, the
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: NFL note that I wanted to point out, and this
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: was I meant to do this last hour. And then
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: I got, as my late mom used to say, sidetracked.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: I got sidetracked a little bit, and I started going
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: off in a different direction because people know, I'm, you know,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: full admission to this that I can go around the
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: garage to get to the barn with the best of
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: them to drag out a story. But in this case,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: I just flat for God. But it was a couple
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago, Kim, when I saw the times had
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: already been established for the NFC Championship Game and the
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: AFC Championship Game. I haven't even looked at those. Well
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: it bothered me. Uh oh. It bothered me, uh oh,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: because at the and you know, whatever, the wisdom and
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: the luck of the NFL, this is going to work
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: out perfectly for them. Of the two games there that
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: are scheduled for this Sunday, which game would you say
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: should be the first game? The undercard?
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: So the primetime game would be the best game, right right,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: So I would say the first game would be Philadelphia Washington.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: Exactly at two o'clock and then at five point thirty
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: Chief spills. So that works out NFC and AFC. But
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: two weeks ago when they made that call, I'm sitting
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: there thinking, and I'm more about geography and clock and
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: things like that. I'm thinking, what if the Rams beat
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, which almost happened, and the Commanders beat the Lions,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: which did happen, and he had a game in LA
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: and then let's just say what if Kansas City gets
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: upset and Buffalo is host. Now you got a team
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: in the Eastern time zone and a team in the
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Pacific time zone, and you're gonna have the Eastern time
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: zone in a frigid environment kickoff at night when you've
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: got a West Coast indoor thing going off as the
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: early game. Well, the NFL, you win, you always do.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: They got what they wanted. I think that's the Mahomes effect.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: And yeah, if you want to argue they knew, Hey,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: they already know Mahome is going to be there, becauere
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: you know what I think it is.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's less Mahomes and it's more alternating CBS
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Fox giving them the primetime windows on that deal. Fox
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: is going to have the Super Bowl, so CBS is
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: getting the primetime window on the Conference championship game. Now,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: as it turns out, makes more sense right Buffalo, Kansas City.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: Now it'll be frigidly cold in case, but makes more
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: sense to have that game. And it'll be at five
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: Central time when that kicks off, and the Eagles game
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: against the Commanders will kick off at three o'clock local
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: time of the East, it'll be three and six thirty.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Of course, it alreadys gets It gets dark in Philadelphia
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: in the winter about two forty in the afternoon. I mean,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: it's already practically dark when you do that. So anyway,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: so that was just something that was bugging me because
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: I let things like that bother me sometimes. But doesn't matter.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: It's working out the way it's supposed to.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: You're gonna miss most of the of the AFC Tunnle game, yep,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: because he'll be well on a bus. And then do
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: you guys fly into I know people don't our listeners
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: probably don't care about travel schedule, but are you flying
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: into Memphis or two plow the where's the team flying?
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: The team is flying in and out of two Polo. Okay,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: So that's where the charter flight will be. Saturday night.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: When I'm going in commercial, I have to go into Memphis,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: then drive and pick up a rental car and drive.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: It's about a little over an hour drives for about
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: an hour ten minutes something like that. I'll be going
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: down the highway where Eddie Orrin has been pulled for
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: eating on several occasions, he's been.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: Pulled out off by his hair. He said he to
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: as his u given name, Yeah, Ralph, Ralph uh, he said.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: The officer thumped him on the head time after stopping
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: him for speeding, thumped him on the head. I'm gonna
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: tell you, Ralph, I'm gonna follow you to the state
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: line the Mississippi, and if you go one mile over,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: he said, you're gonna be so far into the jail
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: that Ralph's senior won't be able to bail you out.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: And he said, my hens, we're at ten and two
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: on the wheel. I was going fifty five miles an
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: hour all the way to the state state line, and
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: when I crossed the border, the cop turned around and
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: went back the other way. So I'll keep that in
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: mind as I drive down to Oxford. All right, that
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: that that'll be Sunday the Texas women at Ole miss
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I'll be flying back while that game's going on.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: That AFC Championship. Long Warn men's next action will be
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon at home against Texas A and M.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: And they will be coming off. That will be big
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: win of the Missouri Tigers had some big moments, big stops.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: You know, as we mentioned some unheralded contributions from Cayden
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: Shedrick and Julian Larry. They were real big with what
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: they did. Larry guarding Caleb Grill, the outstanding three point
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: shooter from Missouri, Arthur Klumba with the double double and
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: the big put back Bucket Lake. That was all in
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: the conversation that I had after the game alongside Eddie
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: Orn with head coach Rodney Terry visiting with long Oarts
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: head coach Rodney Terry. You we're just talking Arthur Kluma
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: about this, and Art was talking about having to dig
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: down deep and find some stuff. And you know, four
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: points is not an insurmountable deficit, but when shots are
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: tough to come by and you're down for forty five
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: forty one with eight minutes to go and missed eight
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: in a row. All of a sudden, you saw your
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: guys really dig down and find something extra, didn't.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: No great Dennis has done a great job with this team.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: I thought coming into this game, they were the hottest
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: team in the league, to be honest with you went
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: on the road and beat a really good Florida team,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: and ready to handle those guys that they're at Florida's
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: home court. You know when you're coming in, these guys,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: couple of games have been scored over fifty points and
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: a half, you know, so to hold him the twenty
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: seven at the half and hold.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 5: In the fifty three for the game.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: I thought I got played really, really hard on defense.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: And the thing I challenged them with the last couple
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: of days is, you know, you know, find a way,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: but you have to make a way, and.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 5: Then to play selfish, play.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: For each other, have each other's back, play together, and
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 4: just play hard.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 5: That's Texas basketball.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: We talked about the fact and you and I have
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: talked about this several times about finding a way when
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: your shots are not falling, don't let it carry over
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: to your defense. And you guys didn't do that. Down
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: the stretch. He kept you in the ball gain.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 5: No we didn't.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 4: I mean we had the de freezer last night and
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: we felt like we had a freeze to start the
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: game right, no one could make a shot. But I thought,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: again we needed that was a really good defensive team
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: to those guys, they switch everything, they're in the passing lanes.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: They make it really hard for you defensively. We knew
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: we were gonna have to try to engage to hit
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: the open guy. You weren't gonna get a lot of
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: great open looks. And when you got an open look,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: you have to be shot ready to score the basketball.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: Still need to get some points in the pay so
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: we need to put.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 5: That ball in the side.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: I thought the guy's executed a couple of times down
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: the stretch, especially against his own not settling and put
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: the ball in the paint. And we got to the
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: file line.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you about some contributions. Arn't we know
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: what a monstrous came he at for you fourteen points,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: twelve boards. But also I thought Kayden really gave of himself,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: hit the deck, got to tie up key block shot
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: nine points, nine boards. And I thought Julian Larry really
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: gave you a lyft too with what he did for you.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: Defensively, Both of those guys did I'll tell you Cay
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: and played physical, you know, played some tough defensive force,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: picked up some files early there in the first half.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: A wee had to send him a little bit columb
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: in the last two games. I mean, he's he needs
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: a day or two just to count for the recovery piece.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's nicked up all over the place. You know,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: if you name it, he's got to he's got an
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: aching bone somewhere. So just trying to must them through
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: it was just big for him being able to do that.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 5: And then Larry came in and really got it for us.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 5: Grills a really big threat out there from the perimeter.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: I thought he did a great job of go outing
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: to the premierive players over there.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: You wanted to go in and you talk about transition,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: they get two buckets transition.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: You talk about they're shooting three half their shots for three,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: held four for twenty two. Great job on both those areas.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 4: No, absolutely, and they were keys to the game. Eddie
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: were plus eight on the glass. He's got been shooting
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: lights out from three that they had ten threes and
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 4: gets Arkansas the other night, and Grills in particular has
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: been shooting the ball really really well. He made one
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: tough one in the first half that was closer contested,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: but good shooting team and a team that if they
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: can turn you over, they'll play really fast in transition
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: and make you pay. I thought we did a pretty
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: good job of taking care of the basketball. We had
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: ten turnovers. We always strive to have at least ten
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: or less to what we don't beat ourselves. There's gonna
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: be some basketball turnovers in there from time to time.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: But I thought we played really really hard and protecting
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: the ball well.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: You brought up the facts about getting Arthur some rest.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: One thing I noticed about the schedule. It looks like
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: it turns a little bit before you in that you
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: get a little more time, a little more rest. In
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: that you've got a Saturday Wednesday. Saturday Wednesday, you get
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: that won the electrare day can make a difference case.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 5: It's a huge us right now, I'll tell you what this.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: You know, the gun that we just came off of,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 4: we had to go to hold you and play at
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: nine o'clock game, get home at three in the morning,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 4: and go to bed at four. You know, you got
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: one day prep, you know, because you can't do anything
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: on Thursday, and then you got to get back on
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: the plane at noon and play a good Florida team.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: At four, I thought our guy's battle. I thought we
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: ran out of gas a little.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 5: Bit over there.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: We cut into a two position game twice and couldn't
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: get over the hump. But we don't make any excuses.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 5: We deal with what we deal with. We live where
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 5: our feet are.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: And I thought tonight we had great effort and attention
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: to detail.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: Day off tomorrow.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, they need a day we all needed the Ultimore.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: All right, congrat states.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 5: That's great.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they all could use that day off and they
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: earned it obviously. With that, hart Fault went over the
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: Missouri Tigers. Next action is Saturday afternoon against the Aggies
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: of Texas A and M and that Cotton Holdings Lone
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: Stars Showdown Rivalry Series matchup. It's a one thirty tip off.
• 1:13:58

  Speaker 1: We've got some other basketball news to get to when
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: we continue here on thirteen under the Zone. I was
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: going to get to a couple of NBA questions for you,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: since you are such the NBA honk. By the way,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: if Clay Bennett turned out to be a big tool
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: and started screwing up the Oklahoma City Thunder, would you
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: disavow your fandom for the Thunder the way you have
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys. It's a loaded question. I know it's hypothetical.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: Thunder them went team in the Western Conference. There has
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: nothing to complain about, right, Okay, Now, if you want
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: to argue he refused to pay the luxury tax, and yeah,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: he's the reason why James Harden was traded the Houston
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: for a bag of peanuts and Kevin Martin's corpse, then
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: sure you can you can point to that.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: But he's been he's been fine since. Because they've got
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: one appearance in the NBA Finals in their history, and.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: The franchise have been around since two thousand and eight
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: and seven, Yeah, one finals appearance since then, the Cowboys
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: have zero and Oklahoma City has let's see Western Conference
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: Final appearance in twenty sixteen, twenty twelve, twenty eleven. So
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: what three times? Three times had been to the actually
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: sorry four times, right because oss of the Mavericks beat
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: the Spurs, loss of the Spurs, and then lost to
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: the Warriors in seven So four Western Conference Finals appearances
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: and Dallas Cowboys have how many since I was born
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: in zero?
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, and just just ask and just check
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: it on that and I don't think it would happen anyway,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: but I was gonna ask him anyway. It was going
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: to bring up a couple of NBIA things, and then
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: I just see the story of his breaking news coming down.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: But to Miami heater planning to suspend Jimmy Butler again,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: this time for two games. He missed the team flight
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: today and he had plans to join the team tonight.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: Now they're saying, no, you just stay home. You weren't
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: there for the to get on the plane with everybody else.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: He had just come back Friday from a seven game
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: team suspension. What are you gonna do with him? I mean,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of money involved as to
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: getting in the way of a trade. He wants out.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: He wants to be out. The Heat say, they have
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: to have fair market value for him. Somebody's going to
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: pick up a big chunk of change on that kind
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: of deal. But are are they going to just get
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: a bag of peanuts for him?
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: It's tough because they don't only have a lot of leverature.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: It seems like Jimmy Butler only wants to play for
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: a team that's willing to give him a contract extension.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: Miami is not willing to do so. I think, you know,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: pat Riley and Jimmy had that blow up in the
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: off season. He says, you know, we're not going to
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: give you an extension, and Jimmy Butler did not react
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: to that well, and that's why they're in the pickle
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: they are in now. I think they wanted to move
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: off of Jimmy Butler. They should have done a last season,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: wanted to keep him, and it's not worked out.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: He's obviously he's not with the team. He's been suspended
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: for the second time this season, and if you're a
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: team that wants to trade for him now, unless there's
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: a team out there that is willing to trade for
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: him and give him a contract extension on the dot,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: which you know may or may not be. There's only
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: a couple teams I can think of that would be
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: interested in signing Jimmy Butler long term. Maybe the Grizzlies,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: maybe the Suns, maybe the Warriors, but also Craig. It's
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: important to keep in mind now with this new CBA,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: the way the first Apron works and the second Apron works,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: trading for superstars is not easy anymore. I think we're
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: what we're gonna see in these trade deadlines, kind of
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: like last season where you know, the big trade move
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: was when okay See traded for Gordon Hayward and I
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: think the Nick traded for Bogdanovitch.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: We're gonna see that a lot. We're not going to
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: see these superstars, Karl Anthony Towns.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: That was an off season though. That was that was
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: you're saying, yeah before the trade deadline.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I think it's impressive your use
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: of the word term apron. Yeah, I'm still not sure
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: what that entirely means.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: I just know that if you're in the second apron,
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: it's not good for the first apron the first for
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: the second yea dead. But imagine if the first cut
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: of the rough is like Bethpage Black. So I'm not
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: sure what either sides are going to do here. If
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: Butler does get traded, it's it's not You're not going
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: to get a big haul for it. But at this point,
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: if you're Miami, I would just want to get rid
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: of him. But also, you know, if you finish out
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: this season, you let them walk, You're not going to
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: get anything in return. There's no way they can repair
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: the situation. So you know it basically, you know, what
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: do you Is it worth him just getting rid of
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: him now? In like, you know, would you do it
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: for Marcus Smart? You know, I think Marcus smartest better
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 2: than just letting him walk. But yeah, Miami, it's one
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: of the few mistakes I think we've seen pat Rally
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: make with this. And I thought, I think pat Raley
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: kind of thought he could have toughen Jimmy Butler up.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: He thought that, Okay, the hard love would work on
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler, And it's not it's not and everywhere Jimmy's gone.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: I know he's taking Miami to two NBA finals, but
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: you know they weren't really close in those finals. They
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: got watched against the Lakers in the bubble, and you know,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: that's a weird circumstance with the pandemic and the bubble,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: and then against the Nuggets, Butler played awful in the finals.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: Now since then, you know, he's been nicked up.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: You know, he hasn't played well in the playoffs since then,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: and I don't see the point in keeping him around.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: But it's a situation that Miami probably could avoid it
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: by just dealing him last last summer. They did not,
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: and now they're stuck with the repercustoms.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: Bad news for the Mavericks. Looks like Derekliveley's going to
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: miss two to three months. Yeah, he was listed questionable
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: for the night's game against the Tea Wolves. I saw
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: that ankle injury suffered. I was watching the other night,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: and it looked like it was just a sprain or something,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: and he'd been listened to question of them and then
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: they had further testing the day. It's a fracture, a
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: stress fracture in the right ankle. He's going to be
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: reevaluated in four weeks. This guy was averaging nine points,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: eight boards, three assists, two blocks, shot seventy percent from
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: the floor, you know, and he was he was really
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: big for them, and they run to the finals. Yeah,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: he's a huge player.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: Last year, he was a big reason why they beat
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: Okay See in the semi finals without him him.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: Being out now and he got Luca being out.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like, you know, I still like the
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: Mavericks a lot.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: He did him the four to be healthy. You just
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: want them to be healthy.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: And you're starting to get a little bit anxious here
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: because Luca's not coming back to what the All Star break.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: They say they're going to reevalue him and reevaluate him
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: in the coming days. No firm timetable.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: Set, yes, because right now Dallas is in the playing
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: spot right and so you keep dropping these games. You mentioned,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: what's their record, another three of the twenty.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: They've lost ten of fourteen since Luca's been out there
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: twenty three and twenty and that was that strain left calf.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: And I've had this conversation where our brothers like, he's overweight,
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: he's not playing well. I said, no, he's got cankles.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: He doesn't if you look at if you look at Luca,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: he doesn't really have true calves and true ankles. He
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: has cankles. One just goes right into the other. So
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: you know that's it's it's hard, and that's why he's
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: had so many injuries throughout that his calves are different
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: and he'd actually lost weight coming into the season.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: And I think Dallas will be fine. I think there's
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: if right now the playoffs started and if they were healthy,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: if Luca and Derek Lively were healthy, I would say
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: that Mavericks and they just got Kyrie back, are the
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: second team they'll beat in the Western Conference behind Oka See.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: But you know, if they keep on this trend losing,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: you know, they're twelve and a half back from the
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: one seed, a game out of the six seeds, so
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: they're in the play in right now, but five games
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: back from the two seats. So now you're looking at
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: a spot depending on how much they can can make up,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: and you're gonna be playing on the road in the
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: first two rounds of the playoffs. Now, I know they
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: you know, they were able to beat okay See without
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: home court advantage and still make it to the NBA Finals.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: But you know that could play a role because the
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: playoffs are going to be tough, especially with Houston or Memphis,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: are possibly Denver lurking in that first round. I mean
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: right now at the playoffs started, they're playing at Houston,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: yeah to start, and then from Houston you're playing either
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: possibly Memphis or Denver. That's a real tough stretch to
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: go to the NBA Finals. So I think you'd like
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: to see them get healthy.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: We'll be back to wrap up today's edition of the
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: program here on thirteen under the Zone.
