• 1:46
  Speaker 4: we'll give away.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: A weekly prize for our Friday's Fearless as well.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Mike Elko met with the media today.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: If you were paying attention to The Zone, you should
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: have heard that along about 1.30 this afternoon.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Some of you work. I get that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Elko reiterated that Marcel Reed is still his quarterback. He
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: said they have to figure out ways to rush the passer.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And Other things that were, honestly, it seemed like he
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is at a little bit of loss with this team
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: because I don't think what he's getting certainly is what
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: he expected from this 2026 version. The Aggies losing 35-6,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of course, in Baton Rouge. And I think the stats
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: were probably even.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Worse than the score.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Over 500 yards.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Of offense for LSU. Less than 200 yards of defense,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: of offense, I'm sorry, for the Aggies. 506 to 197
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: to be exact. Reed was just 10 of 26 passing.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: With an interception, the team rushed for 142 yards. No,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah, that's right, 142 yards. No, net yardage
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: was 91 yards because they lost 51 yards.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: So they rushed for.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: 91 yards net, 106 yards passing.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: That wasn't great.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: When asked for an area of the team that was
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: doing well today, Elko picked out the special teams. So
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: we're punting well. Our field goals have been good. We're
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: covering kicks well.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: All of that, true.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from Dalton Brooks and Marcel Reed
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: coming up here in a little bit To that end,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: on punting, Tyler White selected as one of Ray's eight
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: for week four. The Ray Guy committee, that's the second
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: time that's happened. Six punts, 51.9 yards. Ten of White's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: 15 punts this year have been more than 50 yards.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And he leads the country at 50 yards a punt. Now,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that's a decent stat. You just don't want a lot
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of punts. It's okay to average 50 yards a punt.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: You don't want to be punting the football a lot.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Of course, this Saturday at 6 o'clock, it's the Piggy people.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: They beat Tulsa this last weekend. And the league has
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: announced that A & M' s game at Missouri October 10th
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: will kick off at either 11 a.m.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Or 11.45 a.m.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: That will be either on the ABC or the SEC Network.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: This is looking like kind of an SEC Network game
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Um, Missouri hosts Florida.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon at 2.30 on ABC. The league says Florida
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: running back Jaden Baugh is the offensive player of the week.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: He was really good, by the way.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Um, Chris Cole of Georgia, defensive player of the week.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Deuce Geralds, defensive tackle of LSU, is the freshman of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the week. LSU's got him some D-linemen now. We kind
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: of knew that before the game. This is an interesting deal.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Texas Senator Ted Cruz says the Senate's expected to pass
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the Protect College Sports Act this afternoon. And the president
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: could be signing it on game day. He mentioned ideally
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: it would be in Tuscaloosa with A & M Alabama
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: October 24th, but the Aggies being 2-2 are probably not
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a game day draw. The House still has to approve
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the bill. Cruz said House members could return before the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: elections to sign the bill. And he expects the vote
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: could be done in a day. Most people don't think that's,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: by the way, going to happen.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Devon A.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Chain, former Aggie receiver, returner, running back, out for the year.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Tore his ACL this last Sunday in the loss to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs. He had rushed for 127 yards on 34
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: carries last year. 1,838 yards from the line of scrimmage
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: in a Pro Bowl appearance. Yesterday, the AP announced its
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: top 25. The first three teams are the same. Texas, Georgia,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Miami up two spots to four. Ohio State
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: up two spots to five. Indiana down a spot to six.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Alabama at seven. Florida jumped five spots to number eight.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss dropped four spots to nine. BYU at 10.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Then LSU at 11. Texas Tech at 12. Then Utah, Iowa,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and Oregon. Mississippi State is 16. Tennessee is 17.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Houston is 20. SMU is 21.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Kentucky 24. And Missouri at 25. The Aggies out of
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the poll. 10. Still, SEC teams in the top 25.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: The SEC issued an apology today saying the officiating crew
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of the Texas-Tennessee game made an error and that the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: onside kick that was recovered by the volunteers should have
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: been a five-yard penalty for being an illegal onside attempt.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: The ball should have been flagged because while a drop
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: kick is legal, the ball has to bounce at the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: 35-yard line. The kicker cannot move from his initial position.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Tennessee's kicker moved to the left hash before the kick,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: dropped the ball on the 34. Two rules were violated.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: You know, it's the same crew. that did not call
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the hideout play when Oklahoma beat Auburn last year and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: frankly cost Auburn its coach. Auburn was screwed out of
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: three games by the officials last year.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: This was one of them.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And three of those officials were at the Texas-Tennessee game.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Maybe you should get some new officials.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I know that's a radical thing to say. I'm just
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: saying that maybe you should get Some new officials. Dylan
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Stewart punched an Alabama player late in the loss. South
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Carolina was getting blown out. Stewart, a projected top 10
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: NFL pick, punched tight end Josh.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Ford in the helmet after a fourth quarter touchdown.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: He was flagged but not ejected. He was confronted on
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the sideline by Shane Beamer, was slow to leave the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: field following the penalty. and Beamer suspended him indefinitely. I'll
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: make the decision on what his future looks like beyond
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: this week. Still having some meetings and talking with him,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: but he won't play this week versus Kentucky. Speaking of that,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: What did I do with... I think we're going to
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: hear from Sarkeesian. But he spoke today on Texas having
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: 11 penalties for I don't know how many hundreds of yards.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: The end.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Collins, did I get that right?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Who simulated on the field, as the official said, urination.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and got flagged 15 yards. He has been talked to,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: according to Sark, and it will be dealt with internally.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Is that right? Colin Simmons. Colin Simmons, yeah. Colin Simmons. So, yeah.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Except that he had five sacks, so... They're not going
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to sit him down. The NBA, like I cover the NBA.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: The Major League Playoffs begin tomorrow. The Astros made it again.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And I got to say, eight AOS titles in ten seasons.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Nine postseason berths in ten years. Fourteen division titles. And
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: 19 playoff berths in Astros history. 10 of 12 years
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: for the Astros.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: The Rangers, on the other hand, have had a losing season.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Not playoffs.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: A losing season in 10 of the last 11 years.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: But Ranger fans will always have Phoenix. The Astros host
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the White Sox for a three-game series. Phillies and Braves
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: begin things at noon tomorrow. The Astros game will be
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: on Willie. That's a 3 o'clock start.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: NBC, 6 o'clock. Cubs, Padres, follow that. So four division games.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Jordan Alvarez wins the batting title with a 3-16 average.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Led the league in slugging, total bases, war, on-base percentage.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Offense plus slugging was second in home runs, second in
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: RBIs to Pete Alonso. I'm telling you, he should be
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: the MVP. My thought is Pete Alonso is going to
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: be the MVP. That's what I think. But Alvarez should
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: be the AL MVP. Unbelievable year. One of the reasons
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the Astros beat the Rangers is because Their superstar played
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: like a superstar. Corey Seager was four of his last
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: 25 down the stretch when the Rangers needed him the most.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And they have big-time decisions to make. They have $ 68
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: million invested in Corey Seager and Jacob DeGrom.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: That's a lot of scoons.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to take a break. We're going to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: hear some postgame coming up with Marcel Reed. We're going
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: to hear from him. Dalton Brooks, we're going to hear

• 16:15
  Speaker 4: You learned at the feet of the master. Oh, yeah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: I'm one of those boys that you dove hunted with
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: a long time ago.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, my gosh. Okay.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: James is 9-1 this week, won the tiebreaker. His only
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: loss was Ole Miss-Florida. I lost that game. In fact,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I lost two other games this week. It was not
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: my finest. But when do you make your picks during
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the week, James?
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: Usually I don't have them made, but I was off

  Speaker 1: That's a big problem I have. So I got to
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: talk to somebody who knows how to do this, apparently.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to quit doing that stuff. Although there's
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a couple of picks I don't like already that I've

• 20:35
  Speaker 10: has to do their job.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I think there was a timeout right before they hit
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the fourth and one touchdown pass.
• 20:40
  Speaker 14: What was the discussion in the huddle? Were you all
• 20:42
  Speaker 14: anticipating a run?
• 20:43
  Speaker 15: What was the breakdown in that play for you guys?
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: Fourth and short, you always anticipate something, but you can't
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: ever guess on what's going to happen. I mean, if
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: you guess most of the time in football, you're going
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: to guess wrong.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Stoltenbrooks, and that was the play, really, that honestly I
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: thought the game was over before that play, quite frankly,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the way things were going. But that's just, you know,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that's the way it is. But that one, you know,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: kind of did them in. Then you have, you know,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the fourth. fourth down play that's the second week in
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: a row but i i get it you're trying to
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: make things happen you're you're behind you're not going anywhere
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: um but two weeks in a row have been stuffed
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: on fourth and short you know and you're in your
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: own territory uh and and the opponents have scored touchdowns
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: on on each of those right so um So yeah,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Marcel Reed was not good. 10 of 26. 106 yards.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: He was sacked four times. The offensive line was not good.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Ashton Bethel Rubin played a little bit, obviously. And then
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: you had Craver, who was hobbled. I don't think Horton
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: got any He didn't make a catch.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Did he? I think he did. Yes, he did.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Of course he did. Isaiah Horton made some catches. He
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: was targeted eight times. Three for 43. In that situation,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: probably needed a little bit more. But, hey, you only completed, right,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: ten passes. So, it's hard to say, hey, this guy
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: needs more. This guy needs more. You know, when they
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: ran the ball, Owens– Average five and a half yards
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: to carry. Edwards averaged over five yards to carry. So
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: between three guys with Carson Baker, there were 20, 18,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: 22 rushes for 83, 98 yards. I mean, that's not terrible, right?
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: They didn't have the ball that much, and they were behind, right?
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Second half, they're behind, so they're throwing the football. But
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the pass protection wasn't great.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Let's hear from Marcel Reed postgame.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Marcel, just why do you think the passing game never
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: took off tonight? You guys just had so much trouble.
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: Getting it going.
• 23:37
  Speaker 14: I mean, we had trouble up front, and, you know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 14: some of that's on me. Yeah, we really just couldn't
• 23:43
  Speaker 14: get it going. And as simple as that, you know,
• 23:46
  Speaker 14: we executed stuff in practice. It just didn't translate to
• 23:49
  Speaker 14: the game.
• 23:53
  Speaker 13: What was the.
• 23:53
  Speaker 12: Biggest difference in this LSU team from the one you
• 23:55
  Speaker 12: played last year?
• 23:58
  Speaker 14: They had a different coach. I mean, they got a
• 24:02
  Speaker 14: couple players as a portal, but, I mean, that's college
• 24:04
  Speaker 14: football nowadays. So, I mean, you know, obviously they played
• 24:08
  Speaker 14: better than us this year, and that was obvious.
• 24:11
  Speaker 16: Wilson, you were so effective running the football against LSU,
• 24:15
  Speaker 16: particularly the past two years.
• 24:16
  Speaker 15: Was that maybe not as big of a part of
• 24:18
  Speaker 15: the game plan tonight, or was there something that just
• 24:20
  Speaker 15: made it not quite as effective?
• 24:22
  Speaker 14: I mean, I'm sure they knew and understood that I
• 24:24
  Speaker 14: was effective running the ball the past two years. So,
• 24:29
  Speaker 14: you know, they had people around for me whenever I
• 24:31
  Speaker 14: did run the ball. But, you know, still had a couple,
• 24:34
  Speaker 14: you know, good games. But, you know, couldn't get it
• 24:38
  Speaker 14: all the way going. You know, things didn't open up
• 24:40
  Speaker 14: like it did last year. So, you know, I had
• 24:43
  Speaker 14: to play the game, you know, with what they showed
• 24:45
  Speaker 14: me and what I was called, and that's what I
• 24:48
  Speaker 14: tried to do.
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: Carson, do you think the problems today for you in
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: the passing game was similar to the Kentucky game, or
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: in what ways maybe were they different?
• 24:58
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, I don't think they were similar to
• 25:01
  Speaker 14: the Kentucky game. You know, Kentucky, it was just me
• 25:05
  Speaker 14: more missing throws and, you know, not making throws that
• 25:08
  Speaker 14: I could make, you know, today, I think. for the
• 25:11
  Speaker 14: most part, I tried my best to put the ball,
• 25:13
  Speaker 14: you know, where it needed to be, and, you know,
• 25:16
  Speaker 14: they just were incomplete, so.
• 25:19
  Speaker 17: How big of a killer were some of those penalties,
• 25:21
  Speaker 17: and how do y'all kind of clean.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Up those penalties next week?
• 25:23
  Speaker 14: Yeah, the penalties were, you know, definitely killers. You know,
• 25:28
  Speaker 14: we just got to play smarter. I mean, that's all
• 25:30
  Speaker 14: it is, and it's not like it's one of those,
• 25:33
  Speaker 14: you know, holding penalties or, you know, they were, you know,
• 25:36
  Speaker 14: illegal man downfields or offensive pass interference, so We just
• 25:42
  Speaker 14: got to be smarter and use our technique the way
• 25:46
  Speaker 14: we're supposed to use it and not try to get
• 25:48
  Speaker 14: away with plays like that because obviously the flag gets thrown.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: After they put Brady in and your night was done,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: what made you go through your head on the sideline
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: or as you're coming off the field after.
• 26:00
  Speaker 14: A game like that? I'm just trying to figure out
• 26:04
  Speaker 14: what's the issue. That's the biggest thing that I think
• 26:08
  Speaker 14: that's what we're trying to figure out as an offense
• 26:09
  Speaker 14: right now, what's the issue, and we're going to come
• 26:12
  Speaker 14: back tomorrow and have some talks and figure it out
• 26:16
  Speaker 14: and try to get this thing rolling.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Travis, do you feel like any of this is a
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: rhythm issue?
• 26:22
  Speaker 12: I know early in the game it was kind of
• 26:23
  Speaker 12: hard to find, and what do you feel like you
• 26:26
  Speaker 12: can do early in the game to try to find
• 26:29
  Speaker 12: that touch a little bit?
• 26:31
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, definitely wouldn't say it's really a rhythm issue,
• 26:37
  Speaker 14: you know, but it would be good to kind of
• 26:43
  Speaker 14: get in the rhythm, but it's not, I mean, like,
• 26:45
  Speaker 14: we get in the rhythm sometimes, and then, you know,
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: kind of the momentum shifts and stuff like that, and
• 26:52
  Speaker 14: there's a bunch of stuff that goes into it, and, like,
• 26:55
  Speaker 14: I just told him, we're trying to figure it out.
• 26:56
  Speaker 14: We're trying to, you know, figure out what the problem is,
• 26:59
  Speaker 14: and we will, and we're going to get this thing
• 27:02
  Speaker 14: changed and turned around.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Got it.
• 27:04
  Speaker 14: What do you tell your teammates and.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Your team after this?
• 27:08
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, really the only message I've given after
• 27:13
  Speaker 14: this game is show up. You know, we still got
• 27:14
  Speaker 14: to show up to practice every week and prepare for
• 27:19
  Speaker 14: the next opponent. You can't just give up on it
• 27:22
  Speaker 14: just because of, you know, how you feel. You know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 14: right now it's where it's bad. We're at rock bottom. But,
• 27:28
  Speaker 14: you know, we got to dig ourself out of this hole.
• 27:31
  Speaker 14: We'll send more weapons up in the back.
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: Marcel, how do you feel now about the SEC raising.
• 27:39
  Speaker 14: The chances from CFP? I still feel confident. We're early
• 27:43
  Speaker 14: in the season. There's a lot of other games that
• 27:46
  Speaker 14: go on where you see wins and losses, close games.
• 27:50
  Speaker 14: The SEC is the SEC. Everybody in the SEC is good.
• 27:56
  Speaker 14: You watch the Florida and Ole Miss game today. Ole
• 27:59
  Speaker 14: Miss is a good team. They beat LSU last week
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: and then uh, lost to a Florida team who has,
• 28:05
  Speaker 14: you know, jumped up a little bit. So, uh, you
• 28:07
  Speaker 14: never know what you're going to get. Um, it's competition
• 28:09
  Speaker 14: weekend and week out, but you know, we just got
• 28:11
  Speaker 14: to keep preparing for, you know, the next opponent we have.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: You know, uh, when you listen to Marcel and you
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: listen to Mike Elko, there's a lot of uncertainty. It's,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: you don't hear, Hey, this is, if we fix this,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: you know, we're golden. Um, You know, that's a little bit.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Disturbing.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk with the writers. We'll have time
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: to kind of break all of this down. It's so
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: much deeper than the play of the quarterback. The play
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: of the quarterback is one of the big issues.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: There's no doubt about that.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: You have to look at the new coordinators, both offense
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: and defense. I mean, you have to look at that
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: without question. You have to look at offensive line play.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: They lost some good linemen a year ago. You have
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: to look at defensive line play, which early on I
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: thought looked pretty good, but the secondary has been very troublesome.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: That's a unit that we thought was going to be
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: this strength of the defense and that Elko thought was
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: going to be the strength.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: Of the defense. It has not been.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: And at this point, you see a team that doesn't
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: have a lot of confidence either. And, man, confidence is–
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: we talk with the writers about this every week. It
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: is a touchy thing, you know. It comes and it goes.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: And that's with athletes on every level. It comes and
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: it goes. And right now, this doesn't look like a
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: team that has a lot of confidence in what they're doing.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Nor should they after the last couple of weeks. They may,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and I emphasize just may, have an anecdote coming in Saturday.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Because Arkansas hasn't been very good.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: But you know what?
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: The way A & M' s playing... And the way this
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: series has been, I asked Elko about that today, these
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: games have been coming down to the wire every time
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: they play Arkansas. I mean, every time. It's been late
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter games with Arkansas.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: We're going to come back and talk a little baseball.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: I hate to do it. It sucks. I'm not happy
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: But You know, when it's bad, it's bad. I'm going
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: to say it's bad. And for Ranger fans, it is bad.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: The problem is, I don't know if it's going to
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: get any better anytime soon. That's the problem. As a
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Ranger fan, I have little hope to begin with. And
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I have a lot less hope right now.
• 31:24
  Speaker 18: Galleria.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Well, give us all hope because they're really good at
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: what they do. They're not like the Rangers. They win
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: every year. For 33 years, they have been winners. They've
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: won every kind of best of award that you can
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: win because of how they run their business. Maybe I
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: can get Ronda up in Arlington and straighten things.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Out up there. I believe she could do that.
• 31:53

• 34:49
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday. We've got our Clark Eisenhower outdoor show Thursday,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Kurt Bowles, Tony Catalina on Friday. Um, and, um, Probably
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: some surprises, not probably, always some surprises thrown in in between.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Yesterday, the Astros and.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Rangers went into the final day of the season tied up.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: And it was, what, 80 and 81. They were both
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: 80 and 81. The Rangers had to win.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: The Astros had to lose because the Astros had the
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: tiebreaker over the Rangers. In fact, they pounded the Rangers
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: this year. None of this is easy for me, honestly.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I would just as soon forget all about it. But
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: I have to face up to it, and I'm willing
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: to face up to it. the Rangers have pretty much
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: been terrible. It has not been a good streak. The
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: only saving grace as a Ranger fan will always have 2023.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: And you can't take that away. But man, the other
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: 10 years have been awful. I will say again, that
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: when you fire a Hall of Fame manager and you
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: cut $ 33 million from your payroll, you pretty much get
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: what you deserve. And this team got what it deserved
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: They have some okay pieces. Obviously not enough.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Last year, they, last year, I mean, I still don't
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: know how this happened. They led the league in pitching, ERA,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: and in defense. And normally speaking, in baseball, if you
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: lead the league in pitching and defense, not only are
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: you going to win more games than you lose, you're
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: going to be in the playoffs with a chance to
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: do some damage.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: And They couldn't hit a fastball.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: So they go out this year and they try to
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: get a couple of players that can hit fastballs.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: That didn't work either.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: And the bullpen was just horrible from start to finish.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: And because of the pitching and some injuries, I will
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: grant a few injuries.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Everybody's got injuries.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Everybody.
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: Everybody.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: The Astros have had more than their share of injuries, okay?
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm not using that as an excuse. They overcame that. Look,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: they weren't good either. They were 81-81, which makes this.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: Year even more frustrating.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: This is a division that 500 gets you in the playoffs.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: Never happened before. That's how bad this division was. And
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: the Rangers was like, well, we were in it until
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: the last day. I'm going, well, that's bull. Again, a
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: good manager is worth three to four games a season. Okay?
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, a really good manager is worth three to
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: four games a season. That's really undeniable if you know baseball.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I believe Bruce Bochy wins the West.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: With this team and this pitching staff and this division
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: this year. I believe that. Because if he gets three
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: or four more games, the Rangers win the division. Simple
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: as that.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: And like I said, you cut $ 33 million from your payroll,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and there's no hope on the horizons.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: That Ray Davis is going to increase his payroll. No hope.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: And for Ranger fans, that's disappointing, disturbing, dejecting, whatever you
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: want to say.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: It's not good.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Defeating, um, The thing with the Astros is they are battle-tested,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: and they have guys on the roster that are battle-tested.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: And you expect the White Sox to win because the
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Astros haven't been great all year either. But as Bill
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Parcells always said, just get in the tournament, as he
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: called it. Just get in the tournament. The Rangers parlayed
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: that three years ago to a world championship as a
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: wild card with no hope.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: No hope.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I would argue that the Rangers had less hope limping
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: in three years ago than the Astros do right now.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: So they have a chance because they have one of
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: the best players in baseball, right?
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: They've got a closer. They have a chance. I don't
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: think they'll go very far, but hey, don't know. They're
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: in the tournament. It all starts tomorrow.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: And I got to tell you, I love me some baseball,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: and it sucks not to have your team in the playoffs. Now,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: it's easier on me, quite frankly, because I don't care.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: As long as the Astros lose, I don't care who wins. But, man,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: I hate not having a dog in the fight. But, hey,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: as a Rangers fan, I'm used to that. I miss
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: being able to go up to Arlington for playoff baseball.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: That stinks, too. The whole thing stinks.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: And by the way, some of you Astro fans who
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: we hadn't heard from since the All-Star Breaker before because
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: you're so terrible, and now.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: You're The Rangers are losers. Look at the Astros.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Where were you the last three months talking smack? Well,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: you couldn't because you were terrible. So shut up. This
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: is our last Astros report of the year, thankfully. Brought
• 42:01

  Speaker 18: I'm Judd Nelson with your Houston Astros report. The Astros
• 42:39
  Speaker 18: are playoff bound after a dominant win over the A's.
• 42:42
  Speaker 18: Details coming up next.
• 42:44
  Speaker 21: Hi, I'm Dallas tax attorney Jamie Flores from the law
• 42:46
  Speaker 21: offices of Namath and Flores. We've successfully resolved IRS cases
• 42:50
  Speaker 21: for thousands of clients like Michael. Here's his story.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: Hi, I'm Michael.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I had not filed a tax return in almost a decade.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: I was worried that the IRS would freeze my bank accounts.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: Jamie's team did not stop until everything was filed and
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: I was in good standing with the IRS.
• 43:05
  Speaker 21: Like Michael did, call the law offices of Namath and Flores,

• 43:14
  Speaker 18: The Houston Astros ended the regular season with a bang
• 43:17
  Speaker 18: as they became playoff bound with the American League West title.
• 43:20
  Speaker 18: Yesterday's 9-0 win over the Athletics gave the Astros a
• 43:23
  Speaker 18: series win in Sacramento and fully eliminated the Texas Rangers
• 43:27
  Speaker 18: who were previously tied with Houston. The Astros used six
• 43:30
  Speaker 18: pitchers in order to keep arms fresh for the postseason,
• 43:33
  Speaker 18: and everyone did their part by only allowing five hits combined.
• 43:36
  Speaker 18: Ethan Pecco received the win due to having the longest
• 43:38
  Speaker 18: outing of three innings. The offense operated like clockwork against
• 43:41
  Speaker 18: the A's with four runs scored in the third inning,
• 43:43
  Speaker 18: followed by three consecutive scoring efforts in the six through
• 43:46
  Speaker 18: eight frames. Now the Astros get today off, but return
• 43:49
  Speaker 18: to the field tomorrow as they host the Chicago White
• 43:51
  Speaker 18: Sox in the first round of the postseason. Houston performed
• 43:54
  Speaker 18: well against the Sox this season, taking the season series
• 43:57
  Speaker 18: four games to two. First pitch from Dyke and Park
• 43:59
  Speaker 18: is set for four tomorrow afternoon with coverage on NBC
• 44:02
  Speaker 18: and Peacock. With your Houston Astros report, I'm Jett Nelson.
• 44:06
  Speaker 16: Howdy, this is Aaron Fletcher with Citizen State Bank fighting

  Speaker 16: We're proud to support the Texas A & M Aggies
• 44:28
  Speaker 16: this season. Citizen State Bank, local people, local decisions since 1925.
• 44:33
  Speaker 16: Member FDIC.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain. Too
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: much love drives a man insane. You broke my will,
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: but what a thrill.
• 44:46
  Speaker 20: Goodness gracious, great balls of fire.
• 44:50
  Speaker 22: That's the killer.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: Welcome back. Thanks for being with us. It is a Monday.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: We've got the Writer's Roundtable coming.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: Up in 15 minutes or so.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: Over the weekend.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Texas scraped by Tennessee 20-17. They look like the same
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: team we watched last year with all the penalties and
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: boneheaded mistakes and just stupidity.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: The first two games, and they weren't playing anybody, but
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: they were pretty clean. The last two, they've had 18 penalties,
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: including 11, including 15.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Just some of the stupidest and most embarrassing. The Colin
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Simmons situation could have cost them the football game, right?
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: Easily.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: Could have cost them the football game. We're going to
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: hear from Sark about that.
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: It's 19 penalties in the last two weeks. We've got
• 45:55
  Speaker 9: to get back to the emphasis as a coaching staff,
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: the discipline in which we need to play the game.
• 45:59
  Speaker 9: I know there's been a lot made of Colin's penalty.
• 46:02
  Speaker 9: There probably could have been a couple more, truthfully. But
• 46:05
  Speaker 9: that's not who we are as a team, and that
• 46:07
  Speaker 9: behavior is unacceptable. I've met with the team about it.
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: I've met with Colin individually. I've met with Relique individually.
• 46:14
  Speaker 9: And so we'll handle those things internally. We take a
• 46:17
  Speaker 9: lot of pride in the way we play the game.
• 46:19
  Speaker 9: We take a lot of pride in us playing as
• 46:21
  Speaker 9: a team. We've got to learn from that. I think
• 46:23
  Speaker 9: Colin will. I don't think any of those actions are
• 46:26
  Speaker 9: indicative of the character of the young men. And I
• 46:28
  Speaker 9: think we'll see that as the season unfolds of who
• 46:31
  Speaker 9: these guys really are. And so can't let the emotions
• 46:33
  Speaker 9: of the game get the betterment of us because we're
• 46:35
  Speaker 9: going to be in other hostile environments as the season
• 46:38
  Speaker 9: goes on, as we all know.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: So here's the deal. I'm not the coach, and I'm
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: not getting paid $ 12.
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: Million a year to win, and you have to win.
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: I get that.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: If I had been the coach, and it's easy for
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: me to say this, as they replay some of the
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: SEC action this week, but.
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: When Colin Simmons pulled that trick, You remember the Mississippi
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: state Ole Miss game where that happened and it cost
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: them the football game, right? The kid simulating a dog
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: peeing right in the end zone. This, it was vulgar.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: It was Kirk Herbstreet.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Call it idiotic. He would have been on the bench. Now,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: if he's on the bench, I could make an argument.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Texas doesn't win that game. I, I don't remember exactly
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: when this happened. I'm thinking it was in the third
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: quarter of that game. I'm pretty sure it was the
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: third quarter of that game. And Texas was hanging on.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: And I can make a case that if you bench
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: Colin Simmons, who ended up with five sacks, maybe Tennessee
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: wins that game. But I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Again, I
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: don't have the pressure on me to win, so I
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: can say that. But I'm benching him.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Beamer benched his best player, right, and just said indefinitely,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: we'll discuss, he ain't playing this week. And his seat
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: is much harder than Sark's seat right now, right? He's
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: probably going to lose his job. And maybe you can say, well,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: he's going to lose his job. He might as well
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: make a statement in the process. I don't see that.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: But I guarantee I put his rear end on the bench.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: If we lose, you let the players deal with him
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: being stupid. Or, and maybe they will, I doubt it,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: you run the whole defense until their tongues hang out today. Or,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: even better, early Sunday morning after they get home at
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: 1 a.m.
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: Sunday morning, Saturday night. You say, boys, 6 a.m., everybody here.
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: In the morning.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: We're going to run a little bit. And you make
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: the whole defense run, and you make him be out
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: in front.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: That's just me.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know, you can say we're not going to
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: tolerate it. You can say I'll deal with it, and
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: maybe they will.
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know that. Maybe they will.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: But that won't fly. his butt's on the bench if
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: I'm the head coach. Like I said, am I willing
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: to give up a game for my principals? I mean,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: tough call, but hey, are you or are you not? Okay,
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: we're going to hear from Lane Kiffin now.
• 50:04
  Speaker 17: You're playing the SEC, what, two teams that were ranked
• 50:08
  Speaker 17: coming in in the top 25, and so They win
• 50:11
  Speaker 17: 35-6 and really kind of dominating numbers, 500 yards to 197.
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: Like I said.
• 50:18
  Speaker 17: In the first game, when those things happen, that's a
• 50:20
  Speaker 17: lot of people doing things right. That makes me feel
• 50:22
  Speaker 17: really good as a coach that they responded well and
• 50:25
  Speaker 17: that they prepared really well. You'll hear me up there.
• 50:28
  Speaker 17: We'll probably have some games some days that I think
• 50:30
  Speaker 17: we don't play very well, and the kick goes in
• 50:32
  Speaker 17: at the end. That doesn't mean that we were really
• 50:34
  Speaker 17: prepared well or guys were really focused when that happens.
• 50:38
  Speaker 17: So this, much like the opener, which was a challenge
• 50:41
  Speaker 17: to them to just forget everything else, forget last week,
• 50:44
  Speaker 17: forget rankings. You know, I felt like our guys played
• 50:46
  Speaker 17: great in the opener because they were just excited to play.
• 50:50
  Speaker 17: They were excited to come together as a team and
• 50:52
  Speaker 17: go out there and play in their first game in
• 50:53
  Speaker 17: Tiger Stadium. And I feel like, in a way, they
• 50:56
  Speaker 17: played very similar today to that, suffocating defense, which is
• 50:59
  Speaker 17: what we talked about all week to try to put
• 51:02
  Speaker 17: this quarterback in and did a really good job defensively.
• 51:08
  Speaker 17: You know, I think that that was big for the
• 51:09
  Speaker 17: few people that were here last year, especially Blake for
• 51:12
  Speaker 17: the last two years, you know, to play that way
• 51:15
  Speaker 17: and limit Marcel, whatever he had on here, minus yards rushing,
• 51:19
  Speaker 17: I think. Good game plan and guys doing a lot
• 51:22
  Speaker 17: of things right. And guys fighting through injuries. I mean,
• 51:25
  Speaker 17: like we kind of joked, but it really happened. The
• 51:27
  Speaker 17: injury helped that too. If I know I can't run,
• 51:31
  Speaker 17: I told him, you now are like the old school
• 51:33
  Speaker 17: pro style passer that knew.
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: He couldn't run. He better throw it on time or
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: he's going to get sacked.
• 51:38
  Speaker 17: And so, you know, we say all the time some
• 51:42
  Speaker 17: things happen that have a cost but also have a benefit.
• 51:45
  Speaker 18: Coach, Witt had his procedure today.
• 51:48
  Speaker 12: Do you guys have a better idea of his timeline
• 51:53
  Speaker 12: now that that's over with?
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: I don't exactly. I just know he'll be out a while.
• 51:59
  Speaker 17: And that's a tough one, not just because obviously the
• 52:02
  Speaker 17: impact of the team.
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, look to last year. Look at this one.
• 52:06
  Speaker 17: Points per game when he played versus when he didn't
• 52:09
  Speaker 17: last year. It's not just because of the player that
• 52:11
  Speaker 17: he is, it's the mentality and what he brings around
• 52:13
  Speaker 17: him and how he is. That's really probably why I
• 52:18
  Speaker 17: was in the mood that I was in after the game,
• 52:21
  Speaker 17: just knowing the impact and feeling horrible for him after
• 52:24
  Speaker 17: him coming back to have this great year to get
• 52:28
  Speaker 17: LSU fixed, to get the defense fixed, and then here
• 52:31
  Speaker 17: it is right in the middle of being fixed and
• 52:34
  Speaker 17: playing great and And this happens in, again, a freak
• 52:38
  Speaker 17: injury of.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: He's talking about Whit Weeks, the linebacker, the green dot guy,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: the quarterback of the defense.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: Dusty and I had this conversation.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: You know, probably not the best player on defense, certainly
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: not the best athlete on defense, but.
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: He's the quarterback guy. He's the glue guy. Huge loss.
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: Broken fibula. Probably be out a month at least. Maybe more.
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: As we mentioned, had surgery this morning.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: They were already down defensive back and the star guy's safety.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: So they're banged up. There's no doubt about it. I
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: still don't know how good this LSU team is. I'll
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: be honest with you. Their D-line is good. They were solid.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: They're much better coached, you can tell, than a year ago.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: But And Kiffin was talking about the fact that Sam
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Levitt was playing on one leg and it may have
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: helped him because he knew he couldn't scramble. He had
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: to stay back there and find receivers. And, you know,
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: he ended up having a really good game. But there
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: were also guys running free there again. We saw that
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: last week with the secondary defense. Levitt was 17 for
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: 23 for 312 yards and two touchdowns.
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Scrambled five times for 22 yards. Fortunately for LSU, they
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: play McNeese this week. So they'll get to rest some guys,
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: you would think. But they're banged up a little on
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: the defensive side already. That Ole Miss game was physical.
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: You could tell from how Ole Miss ended up against
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: Florida this week. They just got run over by Florida.
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: I mean run over.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: It kind of looked like A & M and Kentucky
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: a week ago, quite frankly.
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: They just got bullied. And without Kiwan Lacy, huge loss.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: In my mind, the best running back. You can make
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: a case for Jaden.
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: Baugh as well, for sure.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: But if Bob's not the best running back in the country,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Lacey is, and they're missing him big time. I thought
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Trinidad Chambliss would overcome that because he's that good, but
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: he could not. And Florida looks like a different team.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: So there you go. That's a little, uh, wrap up. Uh,
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: we're getting ready for the writers round table coming your way. Um,
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: We've got lots of questions.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: I can't guarantee we're going to have answers, but it
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: is Overreaction Monday, and this is what we do. Oliver
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Brothers has been part of our community for well over
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: 50 years. When Gary and Lawrence Oliver opened a business
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: from Waco to come to Brian, in the middle of
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Brian on Cabot Avenue, where they've been for over 50 years.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: Larry Haygood and the staff are going to give you
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: free diagnostic testing, quality rebuilt services on automatic transmissions, manual
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: transmission service, customer care, ASE certified mechanics. They're going to
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: make sure everything is the way it's supposed to be.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: And that's the way they've been running things.
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: All these years.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: 2107 Cavett in Bryan. See why they say no one
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: knows transmissions like we do at Oliver Brothers.
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: Fall in Aggieland means Messina Hoff. Cheering on the Aggies,
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: enjoying a vineyard tour and tasting, or staying overnight at
• 56:46
