  Speaker 1: hear from the anim athletic director after the final light.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Brought to you by Chad Jones Law.
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: I'm Chad Jones. We know sports injuries hurt, and so
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: do injuries from car rex. But you didn't sign up
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: to being a car wreck with someone who wasn't paying attention.
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: It was their fault and now you're left to deal
• 8:53

  Speaker 7: Call Chad Jones Law at ninety seven nine five to
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: nine five five thousand, or go on line to Chad
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: Jones Wall dot com.
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: Joey Logano is on and he's talking tires, specifically the
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: red option tires that we saw this past weekend at
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: Phoenix for.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: The better of the sport.
• 9:24
  Speaker 10: I think this what we've been doing with the tires
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: has been a really big game lately, right whether I
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: mean last week, you've seen a lot of fall off there.
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: It was just great and the way we're introducing it
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: is a pretty you know, safe way to do it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: And you know, we did this at Richmond and I
• 9:38
  Speaker 10: think it's cool. I kind of like the option thing.
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: I know it's kind of hit or miss for competitors
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: and maybe even fans, whether they like it or not.
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: I think some people see it as possibly gimmicky, but
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: I don't see it that way at all. I see
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: if everyone has the same amount of tires, and how
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: do you want to call the race? I do think
• 9:55
  Speaker 10: it's better for the sport to have. You know, if
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: this tire does work, are able to implement more places
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: and keep doing.
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: This and his thoughts on Austin Cindric's penalty from CODA.
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I think all of us just go
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: and look back and say, Okay, what is acceptable and
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: what is not? And how is things called right?
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: Because it's case by case right. It's just what they say.
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: So yeah, now we know what that means. And that's
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: how I when it interprets the rules is you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: it's one thing to be written in the rule book
• 10:26
  Speaker 10: and sometimes it's a lot of it's really hard to
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: understand it because it's a lot of legal mumbo jumbo
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: in there. But when they make a call on something
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: and it's this way, you expect, Okay, next time you
• 10:35
  Speaker 10: should look like that if it's a similar scenario. Right,
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: So it's a I guess it's case by case.
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: This is the final app.
• 10:44

• 10:46

  Speaker 1: some media types.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Here's part of what he had to say.
• 13:05
  Speaker 14: Really, how proud I am to have the pleasure to
• 13:08
  Speaker 14: get to serve with an amazing athletic department and coaches.
• 13:12
  Speaker 14: Obviously you just heard from coach Elco and the job
• 13:15
  Speaker 14: that he and his staff.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Are doing with our football program is pretty remarkable.
• 13:18
  Speaker 14: But across the board, it's been really fun to watch
• 13:21
  Speaker 14: the game tonight for volleyball and coach Morrison that was
• 13:25
  Speaker 14: referenced is going to be really awesome.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: So to see that all of our programs work really hard.
• 13:30
  Speaker 14: In supporting young people and achieving at a high level
• 13:32
  Speaker 14: has really been a great fall so far. We got
• 13:34
  Speaker 14: to keep it going, keep working doing all the right things.
• 13:36
  Speaker 14: But proud of each of our program and all of
• 13:39
  Speaker 14: our student athletes with.
• 13:41
  Speaker 15: That, we'll start their row on the right side with
• 13:43
  Speaker 15: David Jeff.
• 13:44
  Speaker 16: Can you take us through the timeline how this so
• 13:46
  Speaker 16: al kind of unfolded with the timing with coach Elco
• 13:48
  Speaker 16: getting his and yours kind of similar win did the
• 13:50
  Speaker 16: talks kind of begin and take us through that.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, happy to do that. And I'm not.
• 13:54
  Speaker 14: Going to give you actually specific dates because I'll probably misspeak,
• 13:57
  Speaker 14: but you know, a lot of these things kind of
• 13:59
  Speaker 14: sort of happened organically. I think, as Mike has always
• 14:03
  Speaker 14: talked about, partnerships are important. You know, you know, at
• 14:07
  Speaker 14: the end of the day, you're sort of just spending
• 14:09
  Speaker 14: some time trying to understand, you know, where is the relationship,
• 14:13
  Speaker 14: you know, how do you feel things are going? Mike
• 14:15
  Speaker 14: and I talk all the time, but I think in
• 14:17
  Speaker 14: about early October, you know, you start seeing and some
• 14:21
  Speaker 14: of the affirmation of things that we thought was happening.
• 14:24
  Speaker 14: You know, you could see the cultural change, you could
• 14:27
  Speaker 14: see a team that was responding in a way that
• 14:29
  Speaker 14: perhaps maybe hadn't done before. And you saw the team
• 14:32
  Speaker 14: and I, you know, I watched the very small nuances
• 14:36
  Speaker 14: of things like what does springball look like?
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: What is fallbook?
• 14:39
  Speaker 14: Like, you know, what is the physicality going to look like,
• 14:42
  Speaker 14: what's the togetherness of the team going to be Because
• 14:45
  Speaker 14: during the course of a football season, every team is
• 14:47
  Speaker 14: going to go through a whole lot of adversity, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 14: sometimes it happens in the middle of a game. Football
• 14:52
  Speaker 14: is all about momentum, and so when you see our
• 14:55
  Speaker 14: team be able to respond in the moment to some
• 14:58
  Speaker 14: of that type of adversity and the momentum challenge, I
• 15:01
  Speaker 14: think it's an affirmation of the culture. And so initially
• 15:05
  Speaker 14: it's just, you know, an easy conversation between two families
• 15:09
  Speaker 14: that kind of talk about a You know, are you
• 15:11
  Speaker 14: still seeing the same things that Angela and I saw
• 15:14
  Speaker 14: when we were looking at Texas A and M. You
• 15:16
  Speaker 14: see the opportunity. You see a place given the realities
• 15:19
  Speaker 14: of the changes in college athletics and where this thing
• 15:21
  Speaker 14: is going.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: You know, being an athletic.
• 15:24
  Speaker 14: Director at a place like Texas A and M, who
• 15:27
  Speaker 14: has always been an incredible honor, right but in the
• 15:30
  Speaker 14: change and the modernization that's happening, it's probably an even
• 15:34
  Speaker 14: different job. And I mean that in a positive way.
• 15:37
  Speaker 14: Same thing for the football coach. So we started in
• 15:39
  Speaker 14: early October just talking philosophically. You know, at the end
• 15:42
  Speaker 14: of the day, these jobs are hard, and so if
• 15:45
  Speaker 14: there is an alignment between the athletic director and the
• 15:48
  Speaker 14: head football coach, it's hard.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: And we continue to see things the same way.
• 15:51
  Speaker 14: And so we kind of started there, and ultimately, as
• 15:55
  Speaker 14: we continue talking, Mike and I have enough of relationship.
• 15:58
  Speaker 14: It's not one of those deals where it's like, k
• 16:00
  Speaker 14: go talk to my agent, come talk to me later.
• 16:02
  Speaker 14: I mean, Mike and I philosophically had a general idea
• 16:06
  Speaker 14: and you know, the market's sort of the market. That's
• 16:08
  Speaker 14: really an easy thing for me to figure out. And
• 16:10
  Speaker 14: then ultimately, I think there was a couple of conversations
• 16:14
  Speaker 14: with Mike and then I sat down with Mike's agent.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: It took about an hour.
• 16:18
  Speaker 14: I mean, generally, when things are meant to be, they're
• 16:21
  Speaker 14: not really hard to get done, right. It just happens
• 16:24
  Speaker 14: sort of organically, and simply Mike wants to be here. Again,
• 16:28
  Speaker 14: not speaking for Mike, but I think, you know, sees
• 16:32
  Speaker 14: the opportunity. We're really fortunate to have him leading our
• 16:35
  Speaker 14: football program. But yeah, I think early October and then
• 16:38
  Speaker 14: as it kind of materially moves forward, it just felt
• 16:42
  Speaker 14: right and was obvious that that we needed to get
• 16:44
  Speaker 14: this done right now. Well, yeah, similar deal, you know.
• 16:49
  Speaker 14: But at the end of the day again, right, like
• 16:51
  Speaker 14: you want to make sure and not just a football coach,
• 16:54
  Speaker 14: but all of your coaches, look all of us in
• 16:56
  Speaker 14: these positions like I'm perfectly imperfect.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 17:00
  Speaker 14: Some people may love working with you, some people might not.
• 17:02
  Speaker 14: But at the end of the day, you're looking for
• 17:03
  Speaker 14: cultural fit. You're looking for to make sure that you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 14: are we doing the things that you all as coaches
• 17:09
  Speaker 14: need to be successful. I've always believed that, you know,
• 17:13
  Speaker 14: at the end of the day, it's you know, you
• 17:14
  Speaker 14: have to have a servant leadership perspective in these types
• 17:17
  Speaker 14: of jobs. And you know, because we're not going to
• 17:20
  Speaker 14: win every game, right David, as you know we're you know,
• 17:23
  Speaker 14: there's gonna be times where so we've really worked hard
• 17:26
  Speaker 14: as a department coach.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Alco has been a leader, but.
• 17:28
  Speaker 14: All of our coach has been leaders about this idea
• 17:31
  Speaker 14: of unity of purpose and being a family and being together.
• 17:34
  Speaker 14: And it's really easy right now, right when people are winning,
• 17:37
  Speaker 14: to feel good about each other and be part of
• 17:40
  Speaker 14: a family.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: But there's going to come a time when it's not always.
• 17:42
  Speaker 14: So easy, and you're ultimately you know that that cultural
• 17:47
  Speaker 14: piece that a lot of our coaches are trying to
• 17:49
  Speaker 14: create within our own teams, we need to have as
• 17:51
  Speaker 14: an entire department and have each other's backs, and so,
• 17:56
  Speaker 14: you know, for us, it was it was never a doubt.
• 17:58
  Speaker 14: I mean, the place has always spend and has affirmed
• 18:01
  Speaker 14: what we thought it could be and is a remarkable,
• 18:04
  Speaker 14: remarkable place with a remarkable trajectory. But really what makes
• 18:08
  Speaker 14: this place different is the people. Kyle Field's incredible, right,
• 18:14
  Speaker 14: but it's the people. And you know, past leadership here
• 18:17
  Speaker 14: deserves a lot of credit for the type of people
• 18:19
  Speaker 14: that have been brought into this university and I just
• 18:21
  Speaker 14: get the privilege of getting to work with them.
• 18:24
  Speaker 15: We'll go front row on the right side to Travis
• 18:25
  Speaker 15: and then try there's.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: A really long answer to a very simple question.
• 18:28
  Speaker 17: Sorry, it drove with I know a lot of talk
• 18:32
  Speaker 17: about alignment between all the leadership with a new chancellor
• 18:36
  Speaker 17: and interim president. Was there any more challenges in getting
• 18:39
  Speaker 17: any of this done or was it seemingly in line?
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: Well, there really was, in Travis, it's a great question.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: I'm glad you brought that up.
• 18:46
  Speaker 14: I do really want to thank the Board of Regions.
• 18:49
  Speaker 14: You know, there's a there's a whole group of people
• 18:52
  Speaker 14: that are working really, really hard, and it's not just
• 18:55
  Speaker 14: for Texas, A and M, it's the entire system. They
• 18:58
  Speaker 14: don't get it paid a lot of money to be
• 18:59
  Speaker 14: read by the way, In fact it's zero. So Chairman
• 19:03
  Speaker 14: Bob all Britton and Vice Cha Jay Graham really led
• 19:06
  Speaker 14: the way. But all of the regions were just wonderful.
• 19:09
  Speaker 14: We need that type of leadership. We need those folks
• 19:12
  Speaker 14: working together, being unified, which they were and I got
• 19:16
  Speaker 14: to engage with them very early on. Chancellor Heger has
• 19:19
  Speaker 14: been fantastic and very supportive. Interim President Williams in his
• 19:23
  Speaker 14: short time, has been at a head coaches meeting, He's
• 19:26
  Speaker 14: been at the all staff meeting, He's met individually with
• 19:29
  Speaker 14: some of our coaches. So we've had the necessary support
• 19:32
  Speaker 14: from leadership and it's really really mattered.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: So I'm glad you brought that up.
• 19:36
  Speaker 14: At the end of the day, if you don't have
• 19:38
  Speaker 14: that type of support, that dialogue and that sort of
• 19:41
  Speaker 14: just everybody all in, especially with what's happening as you
• 19:45
  Speaker 14: know in college athletics, now is not the time to
• 19:47
  Speaker 14: be sitting in silos. Now is the time where everybody
• 19:51
  Speaker 14: is grinding together and putting our very best the middle
• 19:54
  Speaker 14: of the table to say what do we do long
• 19:56
  Speaker 14: term for what's in the best.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Interest of Texas A and M.
• 19:59
  Speaker 14: And that's exactly what happened in this process and it
• 20:02
  Speaker 14: made me feel again. It even affirmed more that this
• 20:06
  Speaker 14: is the right place for the future. This place can
• 20:09
  Speaker 14: become whatever it wants to become, and that's pretty exciting
• 20:13
  Speaker 14: to be.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: A part of that.
• 20:14
  Speaker 17: Of course, there's reports out there that Elko would have
• 20:16
  Speaker 17: been on some wish lists of some different schools, where
• 20:18
  Speaker 17: you ever approached by any of their schools to talk
• 20:20
  Speaker 17: to him? And how much did any of that play
• 20:22
  Speaker 17: into trying to make sure this got done.
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: No, I was never approached by anybody.
• 20:25
  Speaker 14: And this was not a reflection of us doing an
• 20:29
  Speaker 14: extension with Mike Elko to try to play defense from
• 20:32
  Speaker 14: other folks trying to hire our coach. This is a
• 20:34
  Speaker 14: reflection that it didn't take us very long to watch
• 20:37
  Speaker 14: what Mike has done for the program to recognize that
• 20:41
  Speaker 14: this is exactly the leader that Texas A and M
• 20:45
  Speaker 14: needs to take this program to place as it's never
• 20:48
  Speaker 14: been okay, And so when I look at a lot
• 20:50
  Speaker 14: of different things, First of all, he really wants to
• 20:53
  Speaker 14: be here, and that may not seem like much, but
• 20:56
  Speaker 14: that's really really important. Nobody's a hostage here, right Like,
• 21:00
  Speaker 14: he really wants to be here. So all of the
• 21:02
  Speaker 14: things that makes Texas a and m unique he embraces,
• 21:06
  Speaker 14: which I think is wonderful, he and Michelle and their
• 21:08
  Speaker 14: entire family.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: But it's the other pieces. And so what I think
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: a lot.
• 21:13
  Speaker 14: About is and I've said this maybe a little bit before,
• 21:16
  Speaker 14: but you know, I really believe the job of a
• 21:19
  Speaker 14: head football coach at this level in college is just
• 21:22
  Speaker 14: way different than it was fifteen to twenty years ago.
• 21:25
  Speaker 14: So the profile of a coach that perhaps would have
• 21:27
  Speaker 14: been very successful, you know yesteryear, may struggle today.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: And I believe that Mike has a skill set today.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: You guys, you talked to you today about the margins.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: He's very slim margins.
• 21:40
  Speaker 14: And I think it takes a special person who understands
• 21:44
  Speaker 14: things like complementary football, time of possession, like flipping the field,
• 21:49
  Speaker 14: all those little hidden yardages within the course of a game,
• 21:52
  Speaker 14: and the culture and all those things.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: And a lot of coaches have that.
• 21:54
  Speaker 14: I'm not saying that Mike's the only one, but Mike
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: has it in space, and so I think, you know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 14: for me, it was this is the right coach. This
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: is the person that we need leading this program for
• 22:06
  Speaker 14: a long time, and we need stability and but but yeah.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: I mean it's it's not lost on me.
• 22:11
  Speaker 14: This is about as wild of a coaching carousel as
• 22:14
  Speaker 14: I think we've ever had in college athletics. And now
• 22:17
  Speaker 14: I think Cal has an opening as well. Right, so
• 22:19
  Speaker 14: when you think about the number of jobs, I would
• 22:22
  Speaker 14: just tell you I'm not sure that there's enough coaches
• 22:24
  Speaker 14: to fill all these jobs, right, And so we have
• 22:27
  Speaker 14: an awesome coach.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: We have a coach that.
• 22:29
  Speaker 14: Fits our culture spectacularly, and we're just privileged that he
• 22:34
  Speaker 14: and Michelle decided to make this home for a long time.
• 22:37
  Speaker 15: We'll stay on the front road of Carter Treuv.
• 22:40
  Speaker 18: What did you make of what Elko wanted for his
• 22:43
  Speaker 18: assistance and what do you think that will do for
• 22:45
  Speaker 18: the program? Just kind of the resources, not just for him,
• 22:48
  Speaker 18: but for everyone else too.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 22:49
  Speaker 14: I think it says a lot about his character. I
• 22:51
  Speaker 14: think about it says a lot about who he is
• 22:53
  Speaker 14: as a person. You know, Mike's not about Mike. Mike
• 22:58
  Speaker 14: is about Texas A and M in Texas A and
• 23:00
  Speaker 14: M football. That's a really important thing. And I really
• 23:03
  Speaker 14: appreciate that about Mike. Travis to your earlier question, you know,
• 23:07
  Speaker 14: in light of this scenario, we had a lot of drama, right,
• 23:12
  Speaker 14: the thing I said a lot about Mike and who
• 23:14
  Speaker 14: he is as a man that we didn't engage in that, and.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: I really respect him for that.
• 23:19
  Speaker 14: So, look, he cares deeply about the people that touches
• 23:23
  Speaker 14: the football program, and I think it says a lot.
• 23:28
  Speaker 14: Like you know, I think about this a lot, but
• 23:30
  Speaker 14: the price of success will always be less than the
• 23:32
  Speaker 14: price of failure, right, And so if you believe you
• 23:35
  Speaker 14: have the right people to lead, then you surround them
• 23:40
  Speaker 14: with as much support and care as you possibly can.
• 23:43
  Speaker 14: And I think Mike has that same philosophy. Again, it
• 23:45
  Speaker 14: feels like I'm speaking for me. I'm not trying to
• 23:46
  Speaker 14: speak for Mike, but just from my perspective and watching
• 23:50
  Speaker 14: I think that sort of action sort of displays the
• 23:53
  Speaker 14: same type of thinking, right, And so.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: We got the right coaches.
• 23:56
  Speaker 14: The point now is let's make sure that they have
• 23:59
  Speaker 14: what they need to win at a level that's demanded
• 24:02
  Speaker 14: by the twelfth Man, and that's the effort.
• 24:05
  Speaker 18: Do you think with maybe the buy out put in
• 24:07
  Speaker 18: place and everything else, that it'll maybe keep future programs
• 24:11
  Speaker 18: from you know, wanting to poach them or being able
• 24:14
  Speaker 18: to poach them.
• 24:15
  Speaker 14: Well, you know who knows. Again, like I said earlier,
• 24:18
  Speaker 14: you only want people who want to be here. Obviously,
• 24:22
  Speaker 14: buyouts are part of that, right, Like we're making a
• 24:24
  Speaker 14: significant investment into a head football coach.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: We do that with all of our coaches.
• 24:28
  Speaker 14: They do the same thing with me, and so when
• 24:30
  Speaker 14: you have that type of investment, there has to be
• 24:32
  Speaker 14: some sort of protection on that. But again, at the
• 24:34
  Speaker 14: end of the day, I think what's really important is
• 24:37
  Speaker 14: this is a unique place. Every place is unique, and
• 24:39
  Speaker 14: you want people that really want to be here, and
• 24:42
  Speaker 14: Mike wants to be here, and we're grateful for it.
• 24:45
  Speaker 14: We're really blessed and fortunate to Mike elco Is our
• 24:47
  Speaker 14: football coach.
• 24:48
  Speaker 15: We'll go second row on the right side to Brian.
• 24:51
  Speaker 15: Try it first.
• 24:51
  Speaker 19: An easy one is any part of the negotiations did
• 24:54
  Speaker 19: you commit more money to the nil pool for football.
• 24:57
  Speaker 14: No, we really never talked about I've read a lot
• 25:00
  Speaker 14: of reports about commitments to nil and a lot of
• 25:04
  Speaker 14: the reports that I've read, I'm not sure.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure that that's legal or at least the
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: way it lays out.
• 25:10
  Speaker 14: The point is only this all Mike and I talk
• 25:12
  Speaker 14: about is he and I am, and we are is
• 25:16
  Speaker 14: Texas A and m committed to making sure that we're
• 25:19
  Speaker 14: doing everything we can to have the resources necessary to
• 25:21
  Speaker 14: compete at the highest level. Of course, that's our commitment.
• 25:25
  Speaker 14: I understand the importance of football here. I understand that
• 25:28
  Speaker 14: football drives all of the athletic department in terms of
• 25:31
  Speaker 14: our economic future and.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: All of that.
• 25:33
  Speaker 14: So we will make whatever is necessary in terms of
• 25:37
  Speaker 14: investment with football to ensure that Mike Elco has the
• 25:40
  Speaker 14: tools he needs and his staff to be successful.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: And then kind of a bigger picture question.
• 25:45
  Speaker 19: I mean, when you were at Nebraska, I mean, that's
• 25:47
  Speaker 19: the only show in town, right, It's the only game going, right.
• 25:50
  Speaker 19: You come here, and you know, for many, many years
• 25:53
  Speaker 19: there was an obsession with, well, what's happening in Austin.
• 25:57
  Speaker 19: We got to match that or do that or whatever.
• 25:59
  Speaker 19: And it's sort of feels like that that has gone away,
• 26:02
  Speaker 19: you know, Mike driving that Mike doesn't really talk about
• 26:05
  Speaker 19: Texas and all that, and do you feel like that
• 26:07
  Speaker 19: from administration, from hager On down, there's finally a feeling
• 26:12
  Speaker 19: of how to become the best version of Texas A
• 26:15
  Speaker 19: and M and not worry about what anybody else is doing.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'm glad you brought that up too.
• 26:19
  Speaker 14: Look, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Chris
• 26:22
  Speaker 14: del Conte, my colleague at.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: Texas, and they've done an outstanding job.
• 26:26
  Speaker 14: I had the privilege of getting to compete in some
• 26:28
  Speaker 14: of these rivalries, right, I mean, we played Oklahoma every
• 26:30
  Speaker 14: year and for us that was a really big rivalry.
• 26:33
  Speaker 14: And I think the thing you learn is if you
• 26:35
  Speaker 14: spend all of your time there's that famous thing on
• 26:38
  Speaker 14: X now.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: I think it's Michael Phelps and his.
• 26:40
  Speaker 14: Chief competitor, where Michael Phelps is swimming straight ahead and
• 26:44
  Speaker 14: the competitor's looking at him, and winners focus on winners,
• 26:46
  Speaker 14: Losers focus on winners. Right, that's a caption. At the
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: end of the day, our job is no, not worry
• 26:51
  Speaker 14: about anybody else. Our job is to become the best
• 26:53
  Speaker 14: Texas A and then that we can and by the way,
• 26:55
  Speaker 14: we have plenty of hard work to do to become
• 26:58
  Speaker 14: great at Texas A and M. We don't have to
• 26:59
  Speaker 14: worry about anybody else. So these rivalries are awesome for
• 27:03
  Speaker 14: college athletics. What makes college athletics. We have a tremendous
• 27:07
  Speaker 14: amount of respect for all that they've done. But yeah,
• 27:09
  Speaker 14: we're really not focused on anybody but ourselves.
• 27:12
  Speaker 15: We'll go second row on the left side to Alex.
• 27:14
  Speaker 17: A little bit of a different note, just curious how
• 27:16
  Speaker 17: your soccer coach search is going and just kind of
• 27:18
  Speaker 17: what you're looking for.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: I saw you applied, and I appreciate you applying.
• 27:23
  Speaker 14: You're down on the list right now, but we're going
• 27:24
  Speaker 14: to keep knowing it's going well. Obviously, you're right, you
• 27:28
  Speaker 14: have a job to do in spite of all the
• 27:29
  Speaker 14: other things. And so I'm really fortunate again to have
• 27:33
  Speaker 14: a great team around me, and so we're working through
• 27:36
  Speaker 14: that process. Obviously the soccer season still going, but we're
• 27:39
  Speaker 14: very confident we're going to be able to hire a really,
• 27:42
  Speaker 14: really great soccer coach to take over for coach G
• 27:44
  Speaker 14: And I should say, and I know many of you
• 27:46
  Speaker 14: have a relationship with him, and what he invested here
• 27:49
  Speaker 14: and what he accomplished here is pretty remarkable. So We're
• 27:52
  Speaker 14: grateful for him, and he has left this soccer program
• 27:55
  Speaker 14: here at Texas A and M in great shape, and
• 27:58
  Speaker 14: so we're gonna have an opportunity, I believe, great, great interest,
• 28:01
  Speaker 14: and we'll hire a great.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Coach, that's Trev Alberts. If we have time.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: We'll hear a little bit more from him tomorrow on
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the program coming up. Armajorie Adams spoke with reporters today.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: We'll hear some of that. We're going to hear from
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Chris Young.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: The president of baseball operations of the Texas Rangers, on
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: his decision to trade Marcus Simeon to the Mets for
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Brandon Neimo. Brandon Nimmo, the outfielder, a beloved player for
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the Mets, by the way, and we'll hear the process
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: on that, the process of getting rid of Adulis, Garcia,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Joonah Him, Josh Bores. It is going to be a
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: new team, not necessarily bad, we'll see, but there's plenty
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of holes to fill them, plenty of things for Chris
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Young to be occupied during this off season. And we're
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: gonna hear from Sark in the second hour sep Check
• 29:10

• 31:51
  Speaker 13: with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the

  Speaker 1: We do not have a high school report today due
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: to Sports Talk failure, but we will have one on
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: next Tuesday. In the meantime, we're going to hear from
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Rangers President of Baseball Operations Chris Young.
• 32:34
  Speaker 23: Hey, Chris, I guess you just walk us through kind
• 32:38
  Speaker 23: of how this trade materialized. I know, what's the GM
• 32:40
  Speaker 23: meetings you mentioned. You know, it wasn't your goal to
• 32:43
  Speaker 23: come into this offseason.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: And and move you.
• 32:46
  Speaker 23: Know, one of your bigger contracts, one of your your
• 32:48
  Speaker 23: bigger players. Kind of how did this happen and what
• 32:51
  Speaker 23: made you know this trade a specific fit for you guys?
• 32:56
  Speaker 24: Yeah, Sean, the trade sort of developed over the last
• 33:00
  Speaker 24: couple of weeks as we had our normal check ins
• 33:04
  Speaker 24: really with every club about our off season priorities and goals,
• 33:09
  Speaker 24: and you know, hearing from the Mets what they were
• 33:11
  Speaker 24: looking to accomplish, and then kind of brainstorming and talking
• 33:15
  Speaker 24: through concepts that may work for both sides. And as
• 33:18
  Speaker 24: we you know, talk through this conceptually over the last
• 33:22
  Speaker 24: several weeks, I think it started to make sense for
• 33:26
  Speaker 24: both parties, and then we had to find common ground
• 33:28
  Speaker 24: in terms of, you know, what the value of the
• 33:31
  Speaker 24: deal is and and UH. In the end, we were
• 33:33
  Speaker 24: able to to land on a spot that we felt
• 33:36
  Speaker 24: like was fair and and good for both sides and UH.
• 33:40
  Speaker 24: And so that's how it materialized in terms of why
• 33:43
  Speaker 24: we felt it was necessary. Obviously, you know, the last
• 33:46
  Speaker 24: couple of years, our offensive performance has not been where
• 33:50
  Speaker 24: we needed it to be. We we made a decision
• 33:53
  Speaker 24: a few days ago on Adolas Garcia, uh, in terms
• 33:56
  Speaker 24: of non tendering him, and we felt like part of
• 33:59
  Speaker 24: our all season objectives is to get back to being
• 34:02
  Speaker 24: a team that really has one through nine very high
• 34:07
  Speaker 24: quality at bats, and Brandon Neimo offers that Brandon Nemo
• 34:11
  Speaker 24: is a very very tough at bat. He's a grinder.
• 34:15
  Speaker 24: He is a very smart, intelligent player, well prepared, knows
• 34:20
  Speaker 24: how to work in it bat, work in opposing pitcher,
• 34:22
  Speaker 24: and we feel like fits the profile of player that
• 34:24
  Speaker 24: is going to be very very good for our lineup.
• 34:26
  Speaker 24: And so, you know, it was a tough decision to
• 34:29
  Speaker 24: move on from Marcus. Obviously, we're giving up something in
• 34:31
  Speaker 24: second base, but we felt like we could backfill that
• 34:34
  Speaker 24: internally or potentially externally if the right opportunity is there.
• 34:38
  Speaker 24: But adding Nemo to our lineup in our outfield, we
• 34:41
  Speaker 24: felt like gives us one of the better outfields in
• 34:44
  Speaker 24: the big leagues with Wyatt, Langford, Evan Carter and Brandon Nemo.
• 34:48
  Speaker 25: Thank Chris, Jeff Wilson, hik, Chris, So, Brandon Nemo is
• 34:56
  Speaker 25: now your right fielder.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: Is that correct?
• 34:59
  Speaker 24: Yeah, Jeff, we're not one hundred percent committed to that.
• 35:01
  Speaker 24: I think it's likely where he'll play, but that's conversations
• 35:04
  Speaker 24: that we'll have with Brandon, with Skip, with Wyatt and
• 35:07
  Speaker 24: and really making sure that we understand all aspects of
• 35:11
  Speaker 24: this and where they're most comfortable. And but but I
• 35:14
  Speaker 24: do think we have three very good, talented, very talented outfielders,
• 35:18
  Speaker 24: you know, at the outset. I think it's likely Brandon plays, right,
• 35:21
  Speaker 24: But I think that's a further conversation.
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 35:24
  Speaker 25: And and then you mentioned the internal guys. Do you
• 35:28
  Speaker 25: have a pecking order for or is it a mixture
• 35:33
  Speaker 25: of Josh Smith, Cody Freeman, Zekial duran or maybe somebody
• 35:37
  Speaker 25: else I'm leaving out.
• 35:38
  Speaker 24: Yeah, I think that I think there's actually beyond that, Jeff,
• 35:40
  Speaker 24: And and no, there is no pecking order. This is
• 35:42
  Speaker 24: a right now. It stands as a competition. I think
• 35:45
  Speaker 24: competition for the roster is a wonderful thing. And uh,
• 35:48
  Speaker 24: you know, Josh Smith, Zeke Durant, Cody Freeman, Sam Haggerty,
• 35:53
  Speaker 24: Michael Hellman all can play second base, all can play
• 35:56
  Speaker 24: the infield. And so you know we're looking at right now.
• 35:59
  Speaker 24: I think certainly you know it's wide open, and these
• 36:04
  Speaker 24: guys all have opportunities to come into camp hungry and
• 36:08
  Speaker 24: to win a job.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And then.
• 36:13
  Speaker 25: I mean, in the last four days, you guys have
• 36:16
  Speaker 25: parted with two guys who were three guys who are
• 36:19
  Speaker 25: four guys who are instrumental in the World Series. I know,
• 36:22
  Speaker 25: it's a business. Is how difficult were these decisions though,
• 36:27
  Speaker 25: based on the memories that they helped create.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Jeff, it's extremely difficult.
• 36:34
  Speaker 24: And I don't want that to get lost in this
• 36:36
  Speaker 24: because these are really really tough decisions. And Ross and
• 36:40
  Speaker 24: I and other members of the front office have had
• 36:42
  Speaker 24: you know, really sleepless nights over the last you know,
• 36:45
  Speaker 24: week to ten days as we've contemplated these decisions, and
• 36:48
  Speaker 24: ultimately we're tasked with doing things that we feel like
• 36:52
  Speaker 24: are in the best interest of the organization moving forward
• 36:54
  Speaker 24: and putting a winning team together, and a winning team
• 36:56
  Speaker 24: that fits a style of play that is necessary for
• 36:59
  Speaker 24: us to win with our manager, with our personnel that
• 37:03
  Speaker 24: we have, and in a ballpark that you know, has
• 37:05
  Speaker 24: played a little bit differently. And so you know, it's
• 37:08
  Speaker 24: not lost on us what these players accomplished and their
• 37:11
  Speaker 24: connection to our fans, and it's it's really really hard
• 37:14
  Speaker 24: to make these calls knowing that we're going to upset people.
• 37:17
  Speaker 24: And I hate that because our fans, you know, matter
• 37:20
  Speaker 24: immensely to us. I've said it before, my connection to
• 37:23
  Speaker 24: this community in this fan base, and so I don't
• 37:26
  Speaker 24: take that lightly, but I do think that we are
• 37:29
  Speaker 24: focused on winning moving forward. The last two years have
• 37:32
  Speaker 24: been very difficult as we feel like we have not
• 37:34
  Speaker 24: lived up to our expectations. And when you don't need expectations,
• 37:38
  Speaker 24: you have to make tough calls and that's part of this.
• 37:41
  Speaker 25: Thank you, Chris Kennedy.
• 37:45
  Speaker 15: Jeff asks all my questions.
• 37:50
  Speaker 25: Okay, Steven, I just want to ask.
• 37:53
  Speaker 26: I mean, we all are were aware what Marcus said
• 37:56
  Speaker 26: late in the season kind of raised some eyebrows and
• 37:58
  Speaker 26: he said he kind of knew what kind of team
• 38:00
  Speaker 26: he wanted to play for, and it raised question to some.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: People on what he met. Did you ever talk to
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: him about that and get you get an idea of
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: what he really meant.
• 38:07
  Speaker 24: Yeah, and look, when Marcus said that, I don't think
• 38:09
  Speaker 24: the full context was really considered Marcus. Marcus has a
• 38:13
  Speaker 24: tremendous heart and Marcus wants to win. And sometimes when
• 38:17
  Speaker 24: you know sound bites are said, they can be misinterpreted.
• 38:22
  Speaker 24: I you know, we did get clarity from Marcus what
• 38:24
  Speaker 24: he meant by that, and it had nothing to do
• 38:26
  Speaker 24: with not wanting to be here and not believing in
• 38:28
  Speaker 24: the Texas Rangers, and that had no bearing whatsoever in
• 38:31
  Speaker 24: our decision. This was a straight baseball decision. Marcus Simians
• 38:35
  Speaker 24: a champion player, and like I said, we'll always be
• 38:39
  Speaker 24: grateful for what he's achieved and accomplished.

• 41:21
  Speaker 30: Texans All Access about what makes this Colts team so tough.
• 41:24
  Speaker 12: Their offense is is operated very efficiently. They've been very
• 41:28
  Speaker 12: explosive Pierce. I don't think he talks about enough like
• 41:31
  Speaker 12: he's the down the field, targets, the deep shots.
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: Then you have the.
• 41:35
  Speaker 12: Running game Withhijnothan Taylor. He's always been one of the
• 41:39
  Speaker 12: top backs in our league just for his explosiveness his
• 41:42
  Speaker 12: home run playmaking ability, and I think Daniel Jones is
• 41:46
  Speaker 12: playing the best that he's played like in his career.
• 41:48

• 41:51

  Speaker 1: sometimes there are like winter songs, are Christmas music, songs
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: that aren't necessarily Christmas carols that that we say we
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: should play.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: That all your life on.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: That's the one probably we should play all year long,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: for sure, all Right, we're gonna hear from our march
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Reid Adams he is, uh getting ready to take on
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: the Longhorns on Friday night in Austin.
• 45:18
  Speaker 10: For itself this week, just how does it feel to
• 45:19
  Speaker 10: be here and just see the emotion going into a
• 45:22
  Speaker 10: rivaly again like this with what's at stake?
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: It feels good.
• 45:25
  Speaker 26: You know, it's the big it's the biggest game of
• 45:27
  Speaker 26: the season because it's the next game of the season.
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: So we're gonna do every day that we've been doing.
• 45:32
  Speaker 26: Shame you know, there's no added pressure to us, for real.
• 45:35
  Speaker 26: It's just it's a robbery game. So it's a little
• 45:38
  Speaker 26: bit more hatred, a little bit more emotion, and a
• 45:40
  Speaker 26: little bit more attitude. So we just gonna try to
• 45:42
  Speaker 26: control that, stay in the greenhouse and you know, do
• 45:45
  Speaker 26: what we're supposed to do, because that's all that matters.
• 45:47
  Speaker 32: How do y'all run effectively against the team like Texas
• 45:49
  Speaker 32: that's at least statistically pretty.
• 45:52
  Speaker 26: Good on one defense, Yeah, statistically they are, So just
• 45:56
  Speaker 26: challenge them, uh uh, you know, try to single out
• 46:00
  Speaker 26: a few players and you know, take our matchups with
• 46:02
  Speaker 26: where we can and and then just honestly winning.
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: I went on ones.
• 46:06
  Speaker 26: Uh, that's the little main goal of our UH group
• 46:08
  Speaker 26: to UH this week. Because they do a lot of stuff,
• 46:11
  Speaker 26: they'll isolate a lot of players.
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: So just winning I want on ones.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: So or if you've ask you this before in the
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: pastor where did where did the chair come from?
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: And what?
• 46:18
  Speaker 13: What?
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 46:18
  Speaker 17: How? How how you are you in the UH interested?
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: Is it that how as much is taken on.
• 46:29
  Speaker 26: The chair came from just uh something that MafA used
• 46:33
  Speaker 26: to help us UH get hyped for upcoming game.
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: First of appointed that.
• 46:37
  Speaker 26: We had that week and uh it's just a mentality
• 46:41
  Speaker 26: that we had that whole week after he did it.
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: So UH some just.
• 46:44
  Speaker 26: Told me, uh run out with the chair and then
• 46:47
  Speaker 26: we started winning and added stickers to it, so it
• 46:48
  Speaker 26: can't go away the.
• 46:50
  Speaker 25: Chairs running out of room for stick ers. Ya got
• 46:51
  Speaker 25: y'all got room for one more.
• 46:53
  Speaker 26: Uh definitely got a room for fomo.
• 46:56
  Speaker 33: What do you think at Oco smash it up?
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah? That was a that was a crazy moment, right, Yeah.
• 47:00
  Speaker 26: I mean it's just cultivation of our UH y you know,
• 47:03
  Speaker 26: everything we do, our UH community here, our UH teammates
• 47:06
  Speaker 26: and our coaches. We all in the line. So it's
• 47:09
  Speaker 26: pretty cool to see one you know join in on
• 47:10
  Speaker 26: the train.
• 47:11
  Speaker 32: Do you think all the guys who are from out
• 47:12
  Speaker 32: of state and even have the country on the team
• 47:15
  Speaker 32: understand what uh this rivalry means to maybe some of
• 47:19
  Speaker 32: the I if not some of the players would takes.
• 47:21
  Speaker 26: But you know the fans here, of course, you know,
• 47:24
  Speaker 26: they come in to this program understanding everything that we
• 47:28
  Speaker 26: trying to accomplish. It's not just just because we from
• 47:32
  Speaker 26: here we understand it. It's because we in this program.
• 47:34
  Speaker 26: We understand it because we have a great culture here
• 47:37
  Speaker 26: and a great unit, great unity. So uh yeah, I'm
• 47:40
  Speaker 26: pretty sure they understand what's the state here?
• 47:42
  Speaker 6: You guys talk about the mantra was finished this year,
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: you're eleven to zero heading until the final week.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: How vindicating is it to say, like, hey, everything we
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: said we could do, we did it.
• 47:49
  Speaker 26: Well, the job's not done yet. We ain't did everything
• 47:52
  Speaker 26: we said we can do yet, So job's not done.
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: Everybody talks about the culture here, especially this season.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: How much do you feel like that's it's different from
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: your prime.
• 48:00
  Speaker 26: Another teams, your family It's different here because uh, it
• 48:04
  Speaker 26: just means more, Uh everything, every detail, every month, my
• 48:08
  Speaker 26: new thing, it just means more here. And we got
• 48:10
  Speaker 26: the ability to accomplish everything that everybody in the comfi
• 48:14
  Speaker 26: uh country want to accomplish.
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: So it just give us a little bit of extra
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: motivation as.
• 48:18
  Speaker 25: One of the vocal leaders on this team.
• 48:19
  Speaker 24: How do you how do you channel emotions correctly in
• 48:21
  Speaker 24: a rivalry league game like this where you don't necessarily
• 48:23
  Speaker 24: play emotional out on the field.
• 48:25
  Speaker 26: Uh huh uh it starts with a build a relationship
• 48:27
  Speaker 26: with your teammates and know and what get them going
• 48:29
  Speaker 26: and what calms them down. But a lot of these
• 48:31
  Speaker 26: guys here are built for uh wars, built for these
• 48:34
  Speaker 26: type of games. So like I already know, like, uh,
• 48:38
  Speaker 26: we might have to calm people down instead of pick
• 48:40
  Speaker 26: people up this week, but uh just doing a good
• 48:42
  Speaker 26: job of m uh reminding people, you know, don't get
• 48:44
  Speaker 26: too how it get too don't get too low, stay
• 48:46
  Speaker 26: level headed until uh it's our zeros.
• 48:48
  Speaker 6: On the clock and we up by a hundred you.
• 48:50
  Speaker 33: Uh it said earlier, uh before the year, like you
• 48:53
  Speaker 33: guys wanted to be the Joe Moore Award winners and
• 48:56
  Speaker 33: Yard City finalists probably gonna be finalists. I think, why
• 49:00
  Speaker 33: should this team be the uh early sool ligne dealer
• 49:03
  Speaker 33: that you're more work or.
• 49:04
  Speaker 26: Winner, uh for starters, you know, for for office alignment,
• 49:08
  Speaker 26: physicality is a uh one of the highest things on board.
• 49:12
  Speaker 26: And I feel like we the most physical and most
• 49:14
  Speaker 26: dominant offensive line unit in the country, not just uh
• 49:17
  Speaker 26: each position, but as a unit, we do it better
• 49:20
  Speaker 26: than everybody else. And then our attentions to detail the
• 49:24
  Speaker 26: schemes we run, we good and we can run any
• 49:26
  Speaker 26: type of scheme zone gap, uh downhill, and we pass
• 49:30
  Speaker 26: p take so.
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: N we don't give up sacks.
• 49:33
  Speaker 26: So like everything you want from a elite office a line,
• 49:36
  Speaker 26: we check off the list.
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: Now we just gotta check off to Joe more.
• 49:39
  Speaker 18: You don't have guys have been so deep playing eight
• 49:42
  Speaker 18: sometimes either nine alignment.
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: Uh what benefits for you?
• 49:46
  Speaker 33: Cause you you'll come off for entire drives, Like what
• 49:49
  Speaker 33: benefits you feel like it gives the whole group and
• 49:51
  Speaker 33: then also for you.
• 49:52
  Speaker 26: They give us confidence to know that, uh, this next
• 49:55
  Speaker 26: guy up and then we can't still do whatever we
• 49:58
  Speaker 26: needs to do no matter who we onna fiel it.
• 50:00
  Speaker 26: Just I command everybody in their room, cause I know

• 50:22
  Speaker 26: Game, Yeah, I I I it don't phaze me pretty much.
• 50:26
  Speaker 26: I've been doing this a lot, but yeah, I I
• 50:28
  Speaker 26: can see just few things on my body after the
• 50:31
  Speaker 26: end of the games, being a little fresher.
• 50:33
  Speaker 13: Do you practice it's one of your first memories of
• 50:36
  Speaker 13: this pride Over year.
• 50:37
  Speaker 15: Did you happen me early on memory?
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: Uh? Yeah, uh? Uh.

  Speaker 26: He was my on line coach at the point of time,
• 50:43
  Speaker 26: Coach Grohm's he was a uh offensive line here, offensive
• 50:46
  Speaker 26: lineman here just to photo the iconic photo of him
• 50:49
  Speaker 26: standing in front of the Texas player and just yelling
• 50:51
  Speaker 26: and cussing, and uh I always uh j talked and
• 50:55
  Speaker 26: joke to him about it, and we talked about this
• 50:57
  Speaker 26: game before it just uh that was one of my
• 50:59
  Speaker 26: f his memory and then that awful kick.
• 51:03
  Speaker 32: If I have a lot of things to play for,
• 51:05
  Speaker 32: uh obviously try to get to the SEC championship game
• 51:08
  Speaker 32: and to robbery you know, the the the the the playoffs,
• 51:11
  Speaker 32: stuff like that. But I also wonder do y'all ever
• 51:14
  Speaker 32: hear among yourself have much conversation about you know, Marcel
• 51:17
  Speaker 32: and this heis and raise and things like that, and
• 51:19
  Speaker 32: then if you do, what kind of discussion is it?
• 51:22
  Speaker 26: Oh yeah, in the office aligning room is Uh, we
• 51:24
  Speaker 26: got on a mission project get Morselle to Heisman.
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: So just like if we just do our job and
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: keep him clean, he gonna do it hisself.
• 51:31
  Speaker 26: So it it ain't no real conversation, cause we already know,
• 51:33
  Speaker 26: like if we out there on the field and Marcel
• 51:36
  Speaker 26: out there, he got a chance to win every award
• 51:37
  Speaker 26: in the country.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: This game means a lot to a lot of you.
• 51:40
  Speaker 15: But what does it mean to train?
• 51:43
  Speaker 26: It means a lot to trade. You know, he's been
• 51:45
  Speaker 26: the starting tackle, uh, you know, the pillar at this
• 51:48
  Speaker 26: offense for a long time. And uh, just having this
• 51:50
  Speaker 26: conversation with the tray a minute ago, just telling him
• 51:52
  Speaker 26: how much I appreciate him, how much he does for
• 51:55
  Speaker 26: us and me personally. Uh just allow me to uh
• 51:58
  Speaker 26: have a voice in here, cause he being the leader
• 52:00
  Speaker 26: here for uh since he got here. So it's it
• 52:03
  Speaker 26: means a lot to trade. Uh just being able to
• 52:06
  Speaker 26: fill up that ring box.
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: You know, if you still got that upside down long
• 52:09
