  Speaker 1: Greg, I want you to know I chose this particular title,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: this is it by Kenny Lowkins, because this is it
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: for handful of state title teams this week. That's all
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it is, right, yep.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Now, well, now we're down the ten games left. There's
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: been the first two games here in Arlington and Jerry
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: World have been completed and in abbreviated fashion, you might say,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: and that's exactly what we kind of thought. What happened.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: The one A six man Division two game kicked off
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: at eleven o'clock this morning. The Jay and j Birds
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: won it in you could say, run rule fashion, forty
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: five point mercy rule. They blew out Oakwood to win
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: in the first game and had it done by halftime.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: The second game, which featured Gordon, the defending champions in
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: one A six man Division one, built a big lead
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: against White Face, who continued to push back and they
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: got some school, but they just couldn't stop Gordon. By halftime.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: It was a forty point lead at the half. At
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: fifty let's see, I guess it was sixty sixty to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: twenty four, so I guess it was a thirty six
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: point lead a half or something like that. But anyway,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: they were up. It was sixty four to twenty four.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: They were up by forty. So the director saying to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: us in our headsets, how much longer do you think
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: this game goes? And Granger Huntress, the six man guru
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: who worked with me on the telecasts, in one play
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and that's exactly what happened. There was the kickoff, they
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: tried an onside kick and white faced it and Gordon
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Feller on the very next play striker Ree went forty
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: five yards per touchdown. That was that. So two forty
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: five point mercy rule games and your first two state
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: champions crowned are Jaydon the jay Birds from the South
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Plains in six man Division two, and then in six
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: man Division one in Class one A the Gordon Longhorns,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: making it back to back Stone title. So the six
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: man games have been contested, completed and they're now getting
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the field ready for the rest of the weekend, which
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: will be eleven man games starting tonight with what we're
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: calling cam the beer Cheese Bowl, a China against Munster.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: So we're saying it's the beer Cheese Bowl, but it'll
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: be Shiner and Munster. In the two day Division two game,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: tonight at seven.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Well, awesome congrats to Jayden and Gordon on their state championships.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: If you could estimate real time, how long do those
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: games take?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Well, the first game took about an hour twenty five minutes,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: and the second game took a little longer than that
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: because there was a twenty minute half time. But I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: will tell you this. Here's the crazy numbers. I think
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I mentioned this during the week that Gordon out of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: fourteen games, they'd played fourteen games, so that means a
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: possible fifty six quarters of football. They had only played
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: thirty one quarters because they had mercy ruled everybody except
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Habot last week in the semi finals. Wow, so they
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: wind up playing only thirty three out of sixty possible quarters.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Not only that, they scored. I think about this. They
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: ran sixteen plays in the first half. That's all sixteen plays,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and they average over seventeen yards per play. They had
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: sixty four points on the board, so they averaged four
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: points per snap, four points per play, and they wound
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: up running only seventeen plays, so that average went up afterwards,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: winning seventy to twenty four. It was some mind boggling
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: numbers put up by Gordon in that second game.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: That's a fantastic nugget. Thirty one quarters. I mean, those
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: boys were ready to go and they want to keep playing.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Well, they have two guys. Several guys are good, but
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: they have two guys whose last name is Red and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: they're not related. The head coach's name is Reid and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: he's not related to him. Striker read and Ryland or
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: RYE Reid as they call him. Ry Reid, by the way,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: has a scholarship offer from North Texas. He's that dangerous
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: and he was named the defensive MVP, but he was
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: our jacket the box player of the game because he
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: also ran for ninety nine yards in three touchdowns on
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the offensive side, which kind of dovetails into what we're
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: going to see tomorrow night, obviously, with Grayson Rigden moving
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to Columbus after three straight years of dominating six men
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and he's rushed for almost two thousand yards and that'll
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: be tomorrow night. So there's a lot of good football up.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: But do you see some eye popping.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Numbers with the six man striker Read, Now that's a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: football name, that's a football Well, why of course, R?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Why k E R? Striker Actually you mentioned the Beard
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Cheese Bowl Munster Shiner seven o'clock. That game is going
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to start on FANDO Sports Network. What are you looking
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: forward to in that matchup? The two way Division two
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: state title game.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It's a contrast. Munster is much more conventional and the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: son of the head coach. You got a coach's kid
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: playing at quarterback, and that makes a big difference. Shiner
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: is a throwback. You remember the last time you saw
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: somebody run a beer offense. Veer run the veer. They
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: run a split back veer offense. So you know, option football.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It's a throwback certainly when you see the smaller classifications.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: And I think that's part of what makes this such
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a really cool event is because you see different you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: town size of small groups, little big bands come in,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you know for some of these schools, and then teams
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: run they'll run wishbone or they'll run veer offense in
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: this case, so you'll see a lot of that, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: then is it. You know, as it moves on out,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: you'll see more pro spread and you'll see a lot
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: more of other things too, and so it makes it
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: makes a big difference. You'll see a lot of different
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: offensive looks as the classifications grow larger.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Three games tomorrow Stanford, Gnado and two A Division one
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: eleven Gun sure Woodville at three pm three A Division
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: two and then seven pm three Division one Mallen Coffers, Columbus,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: who of course features Grayson Rigdon, the NC State commit
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: who I believe is going for Will this be his
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: fourth state championship ring or.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: It will be as it will be his four state
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: championship ring because he won. He won at his third
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: different school by the way, So he won one it's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a freshman, and was the state championship MVP at Strawn
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and six man. Then he won back to back at
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Benjamin where he won offensive MVP in twenty twenty two.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Last year he won offensive and defensive MVP for Benjamin.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: So he has three state championship rings and four state
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: championship game MVP awards three offense, one defense and then
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and then so we'll see as he transitions to eleven Manamar.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: By the way, he was offered by NC State. He
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: signed with Wyoming on signing day. Oh wow. So yeah,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: so he's winding up one mountain. So he ended up
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: signing with Wyoming. So so that's one six man guy
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: who's got a D one ride and like I said,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Ry Reid who's just a junior. He has one more
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: seasonal with Gordon, has an offer on the table from
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: North Texas and h and just about all of that
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Gordon team is coming back, so they're going to be
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: a prohibitive favor to make it a three peat next year.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: So four rings on three different teams. What does that
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: call the Robert Horry. I'm trying to think of anyone
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that has won. Yeah, has one at least four with
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: three different teams.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's something else. He's been a star
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Wars going to I think the most impressive thing that
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: he has done is he has melded with his teammates. Well,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: he did it when he went to Benjamin and now
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: he's done it at the eleven Man. There are a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: lot of people that looked at him a little suspiciously
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and thought, well, he's all about himself. In truth, the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: parent his parents did one. His dad, Jamie Rigdan, who
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: had been a coach at Strawn, wanted to get him
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: more visibility of the to enable him to have an
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: opportunity to get a college scholarship. Well it worked, first
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: he got offered by air Force, then he got offered
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: by NT State, and then he got offered by one Wyoming,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: and he accepted the offer and signed with Wyoming. So yeah,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: it's and he has just molded in nicely. Remember Columbus
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: was preseason number two in the state, behind the team
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: they're playing tomorrow night in the title round, Malakoff. Malakoff
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: won the state title last year. And they got a
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: veteran team and a good quarterback in Mike Jones. So
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: but then you've got you know, the showbl family with
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Matt Shobel as the head coach, Aaron Shoble, both of
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: them played in the NFL. They both played at TC,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: they both played in the NFL. You have Adam Shobel
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: is the quarterback and John Shobel plays on the defensive side.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And they have one of the best restaurants in South
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: central Texas. You'll find if you go to Showbules Restaurant
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: right there off Highway seventy one in Columbus.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: So you're at Jerry rold At and T Stadium. I'm
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: curious when you're walking around, have you seen the tours?
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Have you taken a tour? Have you spoken to what
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the holograph of Jerry Jones. What's going on up there?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Now? It's kind of quiet on that. They pretty much
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: have the AT and T staff running things. I will
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: tell you this, however, as I speak to you right now,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I'm in what's called the Founders Club Lounge, which is
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: right near where the Network TV booth is and all
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: that sort of stuff. So it's right there. But there's
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: like this big long bar and it's unattended. There's no
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: alcohol served at the UI Elevents, but there's this big
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: long bar. And if you walk up to the bar,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: they have tumblrs for sale. YETI tumblers, would you hear? A?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Guess what the Dallas Cowboys YEDTI tumbler goes for.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: So the logo is on it, the Dallas Cowboy logo
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Yep, it's got that D on it. Remember when Tom
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Landry used to wear that hat with the D on
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: the the on the royal blue hat. Always thought that
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: was pretty classy look. And I like that cap. All
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: it has is that block letter D on it. No
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: cowboy logo, no, no star, no, you know that cartoon
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: initial looking thing with the dude on the horse. None
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: of that. It's just got the block letter D. It's
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: really really kind of a cool looking yetti. You know
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: what it goes for. Take a guess sixty? Yeah, hey,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you're pretty good. It's fifty five dollars. Fifty five dollars
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: and from what I'm told, fifty five dollars. And that
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't include what you would put in it. So if
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: you got a beverage in it, it would it would
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: cost me. But it's but it's fifty five dollars.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: See what I did there. I think a normal one
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: goes for about thirty So I just figured Jerry math
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: is just double it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: He just double it, right, I think I think I
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: was told the one at the Long Worn Games goes
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: for forty dollars, but that comes filled with a beverage.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a better deal and a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: better logo and a winning team.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: This was fifty five dollars empty. So yeah, so we
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: are in the land of the fifteen dollars chicken sandwich.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Well it is a chicken sandwich, so you need to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: know that. So yeah, we're here. And I did make
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: this comment on the air that as the game of
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: course ended, and I mentioned that they didn't have to
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: worry about the sunlight issues that started to come through
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: right now. It didn't get to that point because Gordon
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: finished the job and by the time Munster and Shiner
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: kick off, it'll be dark. It'll be seven o'clock.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Craig, I'm worried for your safety. If you make that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: comment on the air again, just saying I'm worried for you.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: He might come and kind of fire me and get
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: somebody else in there.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he might try and threaten you for that or
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: before I let you go. Is the medium mill is that?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Does this still cost money if you're a media member
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to eat there? Because last time was there?
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yes, But fortunately the FanDuel Sports Network crew, you know,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: they take care of the TV crew. And so after
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: we get done with this, I'm going to go downstairs
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: grab whatever it is they've got. It's usually like box
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: lunches or something like that. And they do have the meal, yes,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: and they do charge for it upstairs in the press box.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Your memory serves you well.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, Texas basketball last night, of course you called the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: woman's inaction defeeding lessal and I thought it was interesting, Craig.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: We heard we heard quote Schaeffer and the post team
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: talk about how in Fick and the pregame talking about
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: how they weren't happy with the level effort in practice,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and we saw that with the labs that were displayed
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: last night.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: He used eleven players in the first half an all score.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, so he wasn't real happy with what
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: he's seen. But I think he also realizes because I
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: asked him about the fatigue element of all the travel
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: and that's when he said, well, we're going to see
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: what we have to night because we did to have
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: a good practice yesterday. So I know he was unhappy
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: about that, and Blair Shafer mentioned it as well. She
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: said on the post game, you know, hey, we'll get
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: five out there who can give us the heart and
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the effort that we need because we're not going to
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: We're not going to coach hart. We'll coach your mind,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: but we are not going to coach the heart of
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: these players going out there. So we'll see if if
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: that is going forward, where it goes from there.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: All right, Craig Way. You can hear the night seven
