• 2:47
  Speaker 3: y DC things, especially given the heat with that in

• 3:00
  Speaker 2: And your mom, who is homecoming all the food for

  Speaker 2: you there is fortunate You're fortunate enough, and that she's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: aware of your twenty seven food allergies or whatever it
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: is something like that, so she always navigates all of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: that so that we don't have any incidents or accidents.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: All right, Right, I'm just saying that's a good thing, right, Yeah.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Well, she's used to it, and she's you know, it
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: used to be that there were times in my upbringing
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I had to be even more limited with my diet
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: than I am now. And luckily those times are behind us.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: But gosh, I mean, I'm incredibly grateful for that. That's
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: a story for another show. The time I had to
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: eliminate all eight major food groups from my diet.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Luckily most of them are back in the fold.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, i'll tell you what you compile your listen tomorrow
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: in the program, I want to hear all about this.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll do that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: In fact, we could almost do it in place of inconceivable,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you know, we could almost almost do that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Sure my health history for my doctor's listening, because.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It's kind of fascinating really with some of the stuff,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the things you can eat, the things you can't, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the stages and preparation.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Of some things that you can consume and others that
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you cannot.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: And but look, because of that, right, because of the limitations,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I've tried to pick up some of her best recipes
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and taken forward here. So you know, one of the
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: one of the things she makes just a delicious arto
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: choke dipping sauce. Okay, it's extremely it's a random it
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: just you could dip everye anything, and you could dip
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: you know, any kind of cooked vegetable, sure, or a
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: piece of steak.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Or cracker or whatever. Yeah, it is like a good
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: spinach and art choke dip.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's not an Arto choke dip that is
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: also a favorite. That's something I need to learn. How
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: this is a sauce. It's a sauce that is, it's
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: like a tangy sauce. So I was trying to pick
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: that up a little bit. But there are things like
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: her bowlin aise recipe, which I mean that it goes
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: right up. It's it's my mom's and it's Linda's head
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: to head to the best through the best home cooked
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: bowlin as rescues I've ever had.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: You've been trying to make progress on your consumption of fish, right,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: how's that going?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: That that hit a bit of a wall on this
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: trip because it just, yeah, it just wasn't the main
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: focus with it. My my sister doesn't eat fish, so
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: that wouldn't have exactly been the best family meal setup.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Then okay, all right, I was trying to remember you
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: may be able to help me with this, But the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: place I think may have been long gone.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: In my day, he's of broadcasting Major League Soccer and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: doing what is now called FC Dallas back then they
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: were called Dallas Byrne and they would played DC United
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and he had played Old That's where I got to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: work at old RFK Stadium and an outdoor broadcast area
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: near the top of the upper deck with the pigeon
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: poop all around and all that other kind of stuff.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but I did get to work at RFK
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Stadium call games. I went to a restaurant that somebody
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: took me to, and I want to say it was
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: down in the Georgetown area, but but I also remember
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: being near water, and I don't know if it's near
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the Potomac or whatever, but it was called something like
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Joe and Tony's or Tony and Joe's. I don't remember,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and I'm sure the place doesn't exist anymore. But it
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: was really really good.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: It was seafood and steaks and stuff like that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: And of course when I go up to that the
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Tony Joe's in Georgetown, I guess it's Tony and Joe's
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: at the Washington Harbor. Maybe they've moved.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, good day.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I remember going growing up, biking down to that harbor
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: from the Capitol Crescent Trail in Bethesda, seven miles downhill
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: or to Georgetown, we get a little scoop of ice cream,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and then I have seven miles uphill.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the unfortunate thing, is just having to go
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: back uphill on that. But and then of course in
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: subsequent trips it was important and coming upon me to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: make a pilgrimage up to Baltimore and go a Fill's
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: on the Inner Harbor for crab Gake, So you know
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: that kind of thing. But anyway, we digress, which we
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: figured we would since it's Shakes first day back. But
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: here's what we have coming up on the program this afternoon.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: We are going to continue to give away copies of
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine. We're doing three per day,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: one per hour for three weeks. So here we are
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: on day four of week one and we have three
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: more copies we're going to give away. We have mixed
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: it as a combination of on some hours there'll be
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: a trivia question, other hours it'll just be the random
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: person to contact us via the talkback microphone.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: More on all of that in a moment.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: This first hour of the program is going to be
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a trivia question, and the four o'clock hour is going
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: to be a trivia question. Three o'clock hour will be
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a random thing. We flip flopped this every day, so
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: there's equal amounts of representation on that. You may be
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: a huge long worn football fan, but you might not
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: necessarily you might be a huge long worn football fan,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: but you might not necessarily be steeped into the trivia
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: part of it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I understand that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: That's why we also do the random thing where if
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you're like the eighth person like we had yesterday to
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: contact us, and George Hawthorne I think was the eighth
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: person yesterday when we did in the four o'clock hour
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to contact us on the talkback microphone, then you can
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: win that way when we do it on those hours
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and today that'll be in the three o'clock hour at
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: trivia this hour, and we have a trivia coming up
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: in the four o'clock hour as well to give away
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: a copy of the magazine. And the way you do
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: it is for those of you who already know the drill,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: just indulge me. For the folks who don't you download
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app on your smartphone. Got to have a smartphone,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: you know, it's important to do that. Our man Seatpala
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: said he didn't have an iPhone there, and we're like, man,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I feel your seat pal because he's a he is
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a he's a regular in terms of texting us on
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the text line, his questions, his thoughts, his comments. Yours
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: are welcome as well. On the text line. All you
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: have to do is text the word Texas follow by
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: your question or comment to eight one five three zero.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: So you text the word Texas follow by your question
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: or comment to eight one five three zero.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Standard messaging and data rates may apply.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: But for the purposes of our contest, and even if
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: you just want to leave us a voice message offering
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: up your opinion or asking a question, you can do
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: that on our talkback microphone. It's the talkback feature from
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the iHeart Radio app. In the way that works is
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: you download the iHeart Radio app. Really easy to do
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and it's free, whether on your smartphone, whether you're talking
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: about an iPhone or an Android. You download the app,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: you know, from your app store or whatever. You download
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the app. Once you get it downloaded, the next thing
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you do is you do a search and we'll search
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: a search micro magnifying glass or window, whatever your search
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: bar you enter AM thirteen under the zone, it'll pop
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: straight up. And when it does, then you're gonna see
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: two buttons. One it's a little white one triangular shape.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: That's to listen to what's going on the air. The
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: other one is a red button with a little white microphone.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: That's the one you want for the talkback feature.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: And so download the iHeartRadio app, you search AM thirteen
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: under the zone it pops up. Then push that red
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: button with white microphone because it activates the talkback microphone
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and you leave a direct message for us with your voice.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: That's why I say, for folks who want to do it,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: you know, just to ask a question, we always welcome that.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Just try to keep it fair and keep it clean.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: And it is a family program since we are airing it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: But for a contest, you absolutely have to do it.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: So that's that's how you do that. You do it
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: with the contest. So that's coming up in a couple
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: of minutes. I'm gonna give you the trivia answer that
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: coming up here in a few minutes. We're gonna hear
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: from Long Ones head coach Steve Sarkeesian. Sark addressing the
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: media after the first practice yesterday. Now they're not quite
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: on the field yet this afternoon. They're gonna get on
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: the field probably a little in an hour from now,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: and for second day of practice. Now they're not in
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: pads yet, they're in the shells and the helmets and shorts.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: But he will will hear from Sark talking about the
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: first day of practice yesterday and the ongoing progress of
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: the team. Also this hour, we will have inconceivable, as
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: we do every day on the program.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: That'll come up a little bit later this hour.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: We are also in the three o'clock hour going to
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: hear some Dallas Cowboys conversation. You canna hear it from
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: the offensive and defensive coordinators from the Cowboys. You know,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Clayton Adams the offensive coordinator, Christian Parker the defensive coordinator.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You're gonna hear from them. Coming up in the second hour.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Also in the second hour, we continue our Southeastern Conference
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: football previews, our SEC football previews. We look at a
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: different school every day as a preview of what's to
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: come in the SEC. And to help us do that,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I've called upon all my fellow play by play brethren
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: around the Southeastern Conference and ask for their input. So
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: on Monday, Jeff Dantler, the play by play voice of
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the Georgia Bulldogs, the defending conference champions, was with us. Tuesday,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Chuck Barrett, the play by play voice of the Arkansas Razorbacks,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: was with us, and yesterday Sean Kelly, play by play
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: voice of the Florida Gators.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: There's no.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Particular rhyme or reason to the days that we're presenting
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: each team because it's not like based on where we
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: think they're going to finish, or where they finished last
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: or any of that. It's not based on any of that.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: The only thing that's based on is the availability of
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: my friends on a given day to be able to
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: join us. So we try to work a few days
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: out and schedule the fellow play by play voices of
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the Southeastern Conference to join us on the program.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: That's how it's worked the first three days.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Today we take a look at the Kentucky Wildcats and
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: we'll visit with Tom Leach, the voice of Big Blue.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Now it is by sheer coincidence, nothing more, because again
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: this is all about announcer availability. Sheer coincidence that this
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: is the third consecutive day where we will visit with
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: a play by play voice who is starting work with
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: a brand new head coach. That's how it was with
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Arkansas with Ryan Silverfield the head coach there on Tuesday,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: and then yesterday Sean Kelly, play by play voice of
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the Florida Gators and his new head coach talking about
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: his new head coach, John Summral Today it's as I mentioned,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Tom Leach is the play by play voice of the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Kentucky Wildcats, and it's gonna be really interesting to.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Get his.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Perspective on will Stein, the new head coach of the
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Kentucky Wildcats.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Why you ask, you may remember will Stein.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Will Stein was the offensive coordinator for Hank Carter at
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Lake Travis here for a brief time, and so he'll
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: take over a program that went five and seven and
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: had their i think longest tenured head coach at Mark Stoops.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: But we'll get Tom Leach's thoughts on that. That's coming
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: up in the three o'clock hour as well. All right,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: here's your trivia question, and then we'll take a break
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: and come back and hear from Sarg.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: But here's your trivia question.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: And I've patterned this at least to this point about
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: opponents that the long range are facing We've talked about
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Texas State. We mentioned that the first time that these
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: two teams played, I wanted to know the decade that
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: they played. It was the decade of the nineteen thirties.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: In fact, it was the year nineteen thirty and the
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: guy who got it right knew the year. And I
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: didn't even ask for the year. I just asked for
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the decade. So I've asked about that and asked about
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Ohio State. As I mentioned, you know, in the Fiesta Bowl.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Texas will open play in the Southeastern Conference on Saturday,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: September twenty sixth in Knoxville, Tennessee. They'll take on the
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Tennessee Volunteers. Now, this will be the fourth meeting between
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Texas and Tennessee.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: They've met three other times.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Oddly enough or ironically, however you want to look at it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: On all three prior occasions Texas played Tennessee in a
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: bowl game.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: They didn't play them at home.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: They played them in a bowl game that on all
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: three occasions was in the Cotton Bowl that they played them.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: The last time Texas played Tennessee was nineteen the nineteen
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: sixty nine January first, nineteen sixty nine Cotton Bowl game.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: That was the first year of the sixty eight season,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: when Darrel Royal had Emery Ballard install the wishbone offense,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: and after the Longhorns had started off I think won
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: one in one, they kicked it in the high gear,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: went on one in the Southwest Conference, and they beat
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Tennessee thirty six to thirteen in the Cotton Bowl. Of course,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: that Texas team in nineteen sixty eight was coached by
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Darrel Royal, and it set the stage for the thirty
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: game winning streak, part of the thirty game winning streak
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: that carried through the undefeated nineteen sixty nine season.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: The national title. The winnver Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: The next season nineteen seventy, going ten and zero the
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: regular season, being proclaimed the UPI National champions there before,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: they were upset by Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: but they'd already won the UPI National title. Nebraska ended
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: up winning the AP title after Texas lost to Notre
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Dame that day. Those teams were coached by Darl Royal.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: In the other two wins over Tennessee, they were coached
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: by two different coaches. So all I need is one
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: tell me one of the two head coaches who coached
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a Texas win over Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl. Be
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the first one to correctly do it. You will win
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a copy of Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine. All right,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: up next, we'll hear from Sart talk some Long Warren
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: football here on thirteen under the Zone in the iHeartRadio app.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: Ft aby with.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Us here on this Thursday afternoon. What pray chill? As
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: a producer Jay Herman heard through the Great Gun.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Well, you were setting up our last trivia question right
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: with the last meeting between Texas and Tennessee on the
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Gridiron coming on January first, nineteen sixty nine. That's correct,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: this would have been the number one song.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I can't help but think of the movie The Big Chill.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen The Big Chill?
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I have not. Oh, that's a period piece you need
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to see.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of at the time current and then
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: later former or or later future bigger stars in the
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Hollywood industry who are in that film. A pretty young
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Jeff Goldbloom, Kevin klem is kind of right in this thing.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Glenn Close, who directed it, I've forgotten, but it's it's
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: it's a tremendous movie and little since we were talking
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: about trivia, a little known trivia fact.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: It opens with people going to a funeral.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: We're going to a funeral procession, and all you see
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: is like the tie being straightened on the body that's
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: in the in the casket and all this stuff. And
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: you see these these sleeves being pulled down over a
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: wrist where a wrist had been split, had been slipped,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: so someone had bled out. And it turns out it's
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: a friend, a mutual friend of this entire group that
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: gathers to memorialize him. The you never see the face
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: of the person, but the trivia question is the body
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: that was used in there?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Kevin Costner's body?
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Wow?
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know he was a relative unknown at the time.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: This was This was pre bull derm and pre dances
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: with wolves and all that other stuff. So it's in it.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: But it's it's it's really a good, great ensemble cast
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: and just about you know, people gathering together years after
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: college and what are we doing with our lives and
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: where are we headed now?
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: You know, that kind of thing.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: So very seventies, Hugh, even though it was nineteen sixty nine.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and and and well it was the
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: music is just playing as the as the movie's opening,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: but that's not the music that was played at the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: memorial service.
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: One of the friends goes over to play the Oregon
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: at this very solemn occasion, and he talked about how
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Alex is one of his favorite songs, and it was
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: you can't always get what you want. And she's playing
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: in in the organ, you know, the Rolling Stones classic.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: So in any event, that's that's that's from that. But
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I always think about that when I hear heard it
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: through the great part. Do we have a winner yet?
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Not yet?
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, see it's not that difficult. But if you're a
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: long one fan, you probably wouldn't know it. So again,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: we just want to know either one. It doesn't have
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: to be both.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Well, we get somebody on the text line, but we
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: do we need to talk back now.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: It's got to be talk about yea, we need wait,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: that's what we were instructed and required to do. You've
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: got to do it through the talk back line. So
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: all you have to do is, you know, download that
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app and then and then search AUM thirteen under
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: the zone, push that red button with a white microphone
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: and then just tell us either name of either the
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: head coach who coached a Texas win over Tennessee in
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: either of those prior Cotton Bowl victories. There there was one. Well,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I will say this, let me amend this. One coach
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: to victory, one coach to defeat. But I wanted to
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: know the name of either coach who coached Texas against
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl. One coach to victory, one
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: coached a defeat. So it's two different names, and I'll
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: accept either name off that. Meanwhile, let's hear from the
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: current head coach, Steve Sarkisian, what do you have to
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: say after the team's practice yesterday.
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: You know, as always, it's.
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: Great to be back on the grass with the team,
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: you know, and as much as things have changed in
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: some of the rules and being out with the guys
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: in the summer, there's nothing like putting helmets on and
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: being on the grass and practicing. And so I think
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: for us as a team, one thing we talked to
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: the team about is getting back to the intent in
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: which we need to practice and transition out of what
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: we were into the summer to who we need to
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: be in camp, and so it's our first day. I
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: didn't expect us to be perfect. We got a long
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: way to go. There were some bright spots, there were
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: some rough spots. But in the end, it's like I said,
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: it's the first day. Was great being back out. There's
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: great sweating with everybody and going through it.
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: So that's that, all right.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: So naturally, if Sarty is going to mention that there
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: were some rough spots to go with the right spots,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: folks who.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Are going to know tell us a little more about
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: those rough spots.
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: I'm more concerned.
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: If they're the continually same rough spots throughout practice and
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: or we don't fix them and they show up again.
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: Tomorrow and the next day and the next day.
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: Right, that's our job as coaches, and that's where our
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: players need to be coachable so that we don't make
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: the same mistakes time and time again in any phase offense,
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: defense or special teams.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Yeah, that's that's certainly a way to
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: look at it. And you know, and again, this is
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: just the first day.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Obviously in practice, they're not even in pads yet. But
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: it's gonna spark some curiosity, some questions. For example, those
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: new faces in specific right here, the transfer guys who
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: came through the portal. You know, guys, you know, like
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: a Rachie Bio, Rachine Bios coming in, or let's just
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: say a Hollywood Smothers or a Release Brown, somebody like that,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Bo Masco. The transfers who came into the program. How
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: about their first day of fall camp.
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: Well, I think, you know, I think they were good.
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: You know, I thought we were in good shape. This
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: is probably one of our least cramp days of first
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: day of practice. I think we had five I can
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: tell you our first year here, I think we had
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: thirty eight, So that number has gone down every year.
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: And so I just think the intensity of practice, the
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: way they worked, you know, I think them understanding of
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: kind of how our practices go. That that helped them
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: being in springball and now being back for training camp.
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: So all in all, you know, I get again, I
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: think we've been really fortunate to have some really good
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: additions and then see how much they can grow into
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: being a real part of the team and how they
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: can contribute.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting brought up that whole thing about
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: the cramping and how much cramping, they had his first
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: year and all that kind of stuff. Veteran players who
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: have been through it and understand it are more likely
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: to be able to lead some of the younger guys
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: to go through those first few dog days of summer.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: And Sark was about asked about the importance of having
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: guys like that to help lead some of the others
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: through these dog days of practice.
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: Well, I think I think it's it's hugely important. You know,
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: we talked to even about, you know, media day, the
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: fact that I had Arch, I had Trevor, I had
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: calling guys who have been in the program, and then
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: you think about a lot of these other guys that
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: Jelani McDonald who's been in the program. You know, those
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: those types of guys I think serve as a good
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: model for Hey, this is how you approach it. And
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: it's not just when we're on the field, it's how
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: do you approach your recovery right now? And you when
• 24:59
  Speaker 9: you get in a lot, when you're in the training room,
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: you know what you what are you fueling your body
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: with for dinner tonight so you can get a good
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: night's sleep and be ready to go again tomorrow and
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: the next day and the next day.
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: So I think it's all that.
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: It goes from your preparation from a football perspective, it
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: goes to how we practice, and then it goes to
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: from a recovery standpoint.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, Next ask for updates Kobe Black the corner, and
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: then Cole Hudson still trying to earn that extra year
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: of eligibility through the legal channels.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Kobe.
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: Kobe's been a nice addition for us there because he
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: gives us position flexibility, right, his versatility to you know,
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: obviously play man coverage being a corner. I think he's
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: a very smart player. He's savvy, he's got good instincts,
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: and so you know, so far, so good, right with
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: that move there, I don't really have much of an
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: update yet. I think we'll find out more about Cole here,
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: probably within the next week or so. I think there's
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: some positive signs to that thing coming to fruition, but
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: we'll see what happens.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Next asked about the possibilities of other
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: players who might join the team.
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: I don't worry about it.
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: I just can't you know, I've got one hundred and
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: eleven other guys that I'm trying to get ready to
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: go play a game here in less than a month.
• 26:13
  Speaker 9: When those things present themselves, I mean, I think that's
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: where our you know, Brandon Harris and his team, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: they're doing all that backwork for me, and then when
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: things come to light, then you make decisions on it.
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: But you've got to trust the people.
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: And We've got great people on an organization, and so
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: I've got to trust them to do their job so
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: I can focus on our team right now.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Brandon Harris one of those guys I mentioned the
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: other day. He's listed in Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: as one of the forty under forty. There's a bright
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: young minds in college football, and he's the general manager
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: of the Texas program. Now, I know it was only
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: one practice and they're not in pads yet, but Sark
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: was asked, or were there's some players that had some
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: really good practice?
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: You guys always hit me with that one in mine.
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: You know, I thought Arch had a good day. I've
• 27:00
  Speaker 9: seen a lot of rough quarterback days. First day of practice.
• 27:02
  Speaker 9: The defenses have seen all these same plays all, you know.
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: I feel like all summer long, I thought he looked good.
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: I thought a couple of runners Hollywood had some nice runs.
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: I thought Michael Terry showed up running the ball. I
• 27:15
  Speaker 9: thought defensively, you know, Rashem Biles was flying around, you know,
• 27:19
  Speaker 9: so a lot of positive, positive stuff. It was good
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: to have see Jermaine back on offense too. I thought
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: he did a couple of nice things for us there.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, next, ask about players trying to be
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: more disciplined. You know, penalties were an issue last year,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: no question about it. So he was asked about the
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: team's intent and the coaching staff's intent and the program's
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: intent to cut back on all the penalties.
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: He's real fresh, He's real.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Sorry, I did play quite the right. I guess I'm
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: a little rusty after all. Right here it is.
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: Well, I mean, we make it as intense as possible
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: between you know, coach Muschamp, coach Flood. I mean, everybody
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: screaming and doing their stuff. I think, like I touched
• 28:01
  Speaker 9: on it media day. I think it's group punishment too,
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: and I hate saying it like that, but.
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: That's the reality of the situation.
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: Everybody's got to feel the effect of a penalty because
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: that's what happens in a game. One guy doesn't get
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: flagged and he's the only foul.
• 28:15
  Speaker 8: It's all of us.
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: Well, we all feel that, and so I think that
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: in innately has helped. And I think across the ball,
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: a little bit of the banter has helped. You know
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: that they're they're digging into each other because both sides
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: of the ball know how important it is for us
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: to reduce our penalties. And so the little bit of
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: that banter, I thought showed up today. I thought I
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: was healthy.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: It was good too, all right.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: And one more from start this hour. A program of
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: this magnitude that has this much national visibility, just like
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Alabama Wood or Georgia Wood, or Ohio State Wood or
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: usc Wood or Oklahoma Wood or Michigan Wood. You get
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: the idea in Texas being one of those programs, it's
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: gonna be an awful lot of outside noise. Always is
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: that's talked about here. The players talk about trying to
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: block it out and go forward.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: And Sark once again asked about it first day of practice,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: about the outside noise and do his players feel as
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: though they have to prove things either right by those
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: who are hyping them or wrong. By those who are
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: downplaying them.
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: Well, I think that was really my message to the
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: team last night, you know, and was the outside noise
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: is just that focus on what we need to do.
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: Prove us right, rather than trying to prove other people
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: wrong or right outside of the building, prove us right
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: inside of our building. And I think the older of
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: the Vets get it. And now it's trying to teach
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: some of the younger guys to not read your articles,
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: you know, and focus on what their position coach is
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: saying in their meeting room and how they can get better.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right there it is from Sark.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Before we get to the break, jac Han mentioned somebody
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: try to answer trivia question on the text line, and
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I said, we can only take the answers through the
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app the talkback feature. The guess that someone put
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: on the text line was incorrect. But I want to
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: make sure that people understand what I'm saying here. I said,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: when Texas defeated Tennessee in that nineteen sixty nine Cotton Bowl,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Darren Royal was the head coach. What I wanted to
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: know was who the Texas coach was the other two
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: times that Texas played Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl. Not
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: who the Tennessee coach was. Somebody guess Doug Dickey, and
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: that would be a correct answer if I said who
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: was the Tennessee coach? That wasn't the question. The question
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: was who was the Texas head coach? The other two
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: times that Texas played Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: One was a win, one was a loss.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: All you have to do is give me either one
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: either the coach, the one who coached the long runs
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: the victory, the one who was the coach when they
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: lost to Tennessee. And you do that on the talkback
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: line on the iHeartRadio app there and search AM thirteen
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: under the Zone and pressed that right that red butt
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: with a white microphone, and then you just tell us
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: who the correct answer was.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Coming up inconceivable here on thirteen under the Zone. Second
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: hour on the program, here on thirteen Under the Zone,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Craig Way joined by the producer Jay Carman.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Coming up in a few minutes, we'll continue.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Our SEC football previews, and so we'll have our SEC
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: football previews continued by a look at the Kentucky Wildcats,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: and we'll visit with Tom Leech's played by playvoice of
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Kentucky coming up here in a few minutes. We have
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: a winner. Are we able to play his winning injury?
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: We did some of this last week.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we sure can.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: On on the talk back feature on the iHeart Radio app,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: we again we asked the question, Texas is playing Tennessee
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: three times? It's it just three times? In all three
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: times that happened in the Cotton Bowl. The most recent
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: time was January first, nineteen sixty nine. Texas won thirty
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: six thirteen. They were coached by Daryl Royle. I wanted
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: to know either of the two head coaches that coached
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Texas in either of those prior to Cotton Bowl games
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: against Tennessee. One was win, one was a loss, and
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: the first guy out of the box got it.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 32:24
  Speaker 10: Blair Cherry lost to the Tennessee. And that was way
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: long time ago. But it wasn't nineteen sixty nine. Texas
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: beat I in sixty nine, and our old friend Derrel
• 32:35
  Speaker 10: Wurro was the head coach there.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: That's exactly right, and that's Thomas Kleinda.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Thomas Kalenda, our winner.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Thomas was correct. How far back he said? It was
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: way on back yeah, it was. It was nineteen fifty
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: the season Blair Cherry was the coach. The Loghorns lost
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: one regular season game, that was to Oklahoma, who was
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: number three in the country. They lost by one point
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: fourteen team, but they won the Southwest Conference. Played fifth
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: ranked Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl January first, nineteen fifty one.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: They lost to Tennessee twenty to fourteen. The other answer
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: we would have accepted was the nineteen fifty three season
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: for Texas when the log Worns went seven and three
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: during the year, and this was like a real Cinderella thing.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: And Texas in nineteen fifty three went seven and three.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: They lost their opener at LSU, they lost to fifth
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: ranked Oklahoma, and they lost to Rice, but they only
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: lost the one Southwest Conference game, so they won the
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Southwest Conference title and they go into the Cotton Bowl
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: against Tennessee. They and they beat Tennessee. Actually was the
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: nineteen fifty two season when nine to two, they lost
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: to Notre Dame and they lost to Okla Homa, but
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: they didn't drop a Southwest Conference game. They went into
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the matchup with Tennessee, who was number eight in the country.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Texas was number ten and the Logorns shut out the
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: volunteer sixteen to nothing, so they had one with a
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: win and one with a loss. And Blair Cherry was
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: the coach in nineteen fifty when they won the Southwest Conference,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: lost to Tennessee and the Cotton Bowl twenty to fourteen.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: At Price was the other name he would have accepted
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: because he coached the nineteen fifty two team that beat
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Tennessee and shut them out in the Cotton Bowl sixteen
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: to nothing. In fact, at Price took over after the
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: nineteen fifty season. When Texas defeated Tennessee to win the
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Cotton Bowl, Blair Cherry announced he was going to leave
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: because of the critical nature of the Texas fan base.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, that was nineteen fifty. But surely they've never
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: been critical of anyone.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Here's here's my favorite quote from a Texas coach. And
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Blair Cherry, by the way, was a tremendous high school
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: football coach, won three consecutive state championships at Amerrill in
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: the thirties and then went on and coached at Texas.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: But he left because of the criticism that was heaped
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: upon him. But my favorite quote from a Texas coach
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: about that sort of thing. Was one coach who said
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: he was resigning as head coach from the University of
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Texas football program due to the highly he called it
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: suspicious and critical nature of the Texas fans. That coach
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: was Dave Allerdice in nineteen fifteen. Imagine nineteen fifteen. Due
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: to the suspicious and critical nature of the Texas fans.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: I can't take one more telegram telling me I'm doing
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: a bad job.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: She was a little over one hundred years ago.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: So anyway, it was radio even widespread. No, so where
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: is this is just newspapers?
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, and probably people writing letters and the
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: ingrey and all that other kind of stuff.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, unbelievable.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: The first radio broadcast of a sporting event was in
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: nineteen twenty one Harold Arlind doing a Pirate's Phillies game
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: from the stands on a telephone instrument. That was the
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: first ever baseball game ever broadcast off of that. So yeah,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Matt Brant always liked that. He got a good chuck
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: out of that as well. The highly suspicious and critical
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: nature of the Texas fan base.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: It's in our DNA.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so there you go.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna visit coming up here in just
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: a few minutes with the play by play voice of
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: the Kentucky Wildcats. That's Tom Leech, whose programs undergone a
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: coaching change. But it's gonna be a little fascinating the
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: folks down here because Will Stein is the new head coach. Now,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Stein an accomplished offensive mind, most recently at Oregon, but
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: there are folks around here remember not too long ago
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: when he was the offensive coordinator Frank Carter at Lake Travis.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna be interesting to hear Tom's thoughts on
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: that as well. We're going to give away another copy
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: of Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine. We'll do that, and
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: that's going to be of the lottery version variety this hour,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: and then in the four o'clock hour we'll give away
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: one more copy and that'll be another trivia question. So
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: we'll do that, But up next we'll visit with Tom Leach,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: the play by play voice of the Kentucky Wildcats, when
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: we continue on this Thursday afternoon on Sports Radio AM
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: thirteen under the Zone at the IR Radio app on
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: the program here on thirteen under the Zone. So I
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: just went through all of this this deal of of
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: laying out some incredibly complimentary comments for our next guest here,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: but I'm more than happy to repeat those I said,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: if you are. We were talking about the wildly popular
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Kentucky native Chris Stapleton, and I said, and if you
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: go into the Bluegrass, you will Encalorie. No end of
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: wildly popular commentary about our next guest. Tom Leaks, play
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: by play voice of the Kentucky Wildcats is with us.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: I appreciate the time and glad you were able to
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: stick with us there through the staff foos.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: How are you, my friend?
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: I am doing well. I know what happened. Yeah, we
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: both know what happened.
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: My friend Mark Stoops is trying to scuttle disappearance on
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: the Craig Show.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Well, i'll tell you what. You know what the first
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: thing I was going to do.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: I was going to hop into the fact that you
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: know that that long tenure certainly that Stoops had there
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: at Kentucky and had a lot of success, and that
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: was a great game in lection last year that went
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: overtime and all this kind of stuff, and we get
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: in our business, and then we'll jump to talk about
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: a guy I knew when he was the offensive coordinator
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: over here Lake Travis a few years ago.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Your new head coach, Will Stein.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: But you bring up an interesting point that we do
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: establish these relationships with our coaches and work very closely
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: with them, and then if one leaves for another opportunity,
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: or one's contract is not renewed, or for whatever reason,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: if the coach doesn't return, there is a little bit
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: of a sense of loss and then there's some readjustment.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Isn't there a time when it comes to a new
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: head coach coming in.
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: Yes, and you can appreciate this, I've caught a break
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: with coach Stein. Normally have just kind of a get
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: to know you period with a new coach and you know,
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: learning you.
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: Know who they can trust, who they can all that
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: kind of stuff.
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: But Will his dad played at Kentucky in the eighties,
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: so he grew up coming to games with his mom
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: and dad and listening to the.
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: UK network, So we already had a little head.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Start on a relationship with him. Thankfully.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: That always helps, That always makes it makes a big
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: difference on that all right. So the first question was
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: going to ask you is a similar question the way
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: this has worked Tom with when I've been doing these
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: sec previews I mentioned I made a point I wanted
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: people to know that it's been by, you know, just
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: by the scheduling when it worked out for the different
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: guys to be on with us. And it is a
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: sheer coincidence that after a Monday's conversation with Jeff Dansler,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: who of course is going to take over the football
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: play by play duties for Georgia this fall, but Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: and today all of our conversations are with veteran play
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: by play voices who will be working with a new
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: head coach. It was Chuck Barrett with Arkansas on Tuesday,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: it was Sean Kelly with Florida yesterday, and now here's
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: you with will Stein. So I'll start it by asking you,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: although there's a little more familiar ground than with regard
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: to will Stein for you and even a little bit
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: for me as opposed to say John some Roll at
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Florida or at Arkansas with Ryan Silverfield as well, but
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: what have you been able to notice just in the
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: dimeintor demeanor, whether it was through the spring practices and
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: then and then now as fall camps are getting underway,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: any noticeable differences in what you're seeing in how will
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Stein is preparing to run his football program.
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: You know, he's more The main thing you I think
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: probably think about is he is more of an off much.
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: Much more of an offensive background.
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: He was a quarterback as a player and has been
• 41:29
  Speaker 7: an offensive guy and a coordinator. Sees come up through
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: the ranks where Mark was on the defensive side and
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: came to it from from you know, just an offensive
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: guy and a defensive guy. Uh, are a little different.
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: I have not seen a lot of very much practices yet.
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: A much of the practices they just a Factultucky just
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: started today. They're what they call training camp face and
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: in the spring with the duties with the keeman and
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: then finishing up with basketball season and then they get
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: started a little early.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: I did not see a.
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: Lot of spring practice. One thing I did notice that
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: he did, and you know from the beginning, Mark was
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: you know, opening open and welcoming of former players and
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: all that. But Will is I think actively sought them out.
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: And maybe it's because it's you guys that he grew
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: up watching. So you see a lot of these former players,
• 42:21
  Speaker 7: Tim Couch, Derrik Abney, these guys showing up at practices
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: and Will will have them talk to the team. So
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: he's very much trying to connect his current players, even
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: this in il Ah and all the transfer that transfers
• 42:34
  Speaker 7: that go on, trying to connect them with famous players
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: from Kentucky's past that did great things.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Well, you brought up and I'm thinking it was a
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: very good point when you're talking about the offensive direction
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: of the deal, because everywhere else that Will has been
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: be at UTSA obviously most recently in Oregon. And then
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I said, when he was the offensive coordinator on one
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: of the most prolific high school football programs in the
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: state of Texas right here in Town Lake Travis where
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield win and several other Garrett Wilson with the Jets,
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: all of these different players that have come through this
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: incredible offense and their head coach ain't Carter more defensive minded.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: And so when Will was here, the offense.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Was left to his devices to try to tinker with
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: and get better, and they did and it made him very,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: very successful, and he was able to parlay that, obviously
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: into what he's done at the collegiate level. Is what
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: is it correct, accurate safe to say that Will is
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: one of those offensive minds savants the way we've heard
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Steve Sarkisian you know now and several other guys, you know,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Garrett Lincoln, Riley, several of the other coaches who were
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: head coaches on the national scene. As this guy steps
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: into his first head coaching collegiate job.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I think that's definitely true.
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: Now, I had a healthy respect for the importance of
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: the other side of the ball because he played for arguably,
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: year in and year out, the best program here in
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: Kentucky and Trinity High School, and so their program that's
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: you know, built on you know, those old time football
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: fundamentals of defense and physicality and running the ball. So
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: between playing there for coaches at Trinity High School and
• 44:12
  Speaker 7: then coming up at U of L as a walk
• 44:15
  Speaker 7: on quarterback under Charlie Strong, who was a great defensive mind.
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: There's has been for a long time. You know, he's
• 44:20
  Speaker 7: been around guys that, uh, you know, value defense, and
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: so he does. But you know, he's a former quarterback.
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: You know, those those guys think offensively, and you know,
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: I think their mind's always kind of working on you know,
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: what's what's new in the game, what can they learn
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: he hired Joe Sloan as his offensive coordinator, who had
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: been at LSU, and you know, he said they used
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: to to talk uh in the you know, in the
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: off season or coaches gatherings, just talking offense. Offensive guys,
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: I think especially like to pick each other's brains. And
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: it was like that when I was first starting here,
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: and you know, coach Mummy and Mike Leach were here,
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: and you know, those guys with that offensive mindset love
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: to talk offense.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: Visiting the Tom Lea's played by play voice of the
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Kentucky Wildcats here on thirteen hundred the Zone. Since we're
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: talking about quarterbacks last year when the log Ones had
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: that overtime game there in Lexington, the heck of a
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: football game that went down there, and that sixteen thirteen
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: ball game, Cutter Bowlly gave a lot of trouble and
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: then of course Bully ended up transferring the Arizona State.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: But Kenny Minsch, he was a guy with some quarterback experience.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Is he the guy who's kind of in the lead
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: to be the starter in this first season under coach Tein.
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: Most definitely, there's note any question about who QB one is.
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: Never started a game but it was a similar situation
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: with Will Levis when coach Dukes was trying to upgrade
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: his offense and he hired Liam Cohen out of the NFL,
• 45:57
  Speaker 7: and Liam found this guy who was a talented quarterback
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: who was just buried behind another player at Penn State
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: and brought Will Levis to Kentucky and it really worked.
• 46:09
  Speaker 7: And so different staff hoping it plays out the same way,
• 46:12
  Speaker 7: and that Kenny Minshee, by all accounts of people I've
• 46:15
  Speaker 7: talked to a Notre Dame, took it right down to
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: the wire with Car last year, and they were would
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: have been very confident in going with Minshee, but he
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: was a close runner up. And so now he's been
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: around college football for three years, but this is his
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: chance to get the keys to the car. And he
• 46:34
  Speaker 7: had committed to Nebraska, but once he got the chance
• 46:37
  Speaker 7: to come and play for Will Stein and Joe Sloan,
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: with their reputations of what they've done with quarterbacks, he
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: seized on that opportunity. So he is most definitely the guy,
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: and now.
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: It's up to him to take it and run with it.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: I want to ask about a couple of other transfers
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: on the offensive side. One is Dick Anderson, wide receiver
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: who when he played at Oklahoma cause Texas problems even
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: as the long O Wrens had been success full three
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: of the last four years.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Again, so you but the one they lost Anderson was
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: a big factor.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: The other is a name we know well, Cedric Baxter Junior, CJ.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Great guy. Uh and Uh.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: There was a you know us table of backs here
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: and CJ saw an opportunity there and transferred it.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: How about what you know so far of c J.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Baxter and and also Nick Anderson, there is transfers on
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: the offensive side.
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: At the preseason news conference media day earlier this week,
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: coach Stein said that Nick was going to be a
• 47:33
  Speaker 7: little late getting started just we He didn't get into
• 47:38
  Speaker 7: specifics about what it was, but I think there's just
• 47:41
  Speaker 7: a little some kind of physical issue of some type
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: that they expect him to be in the mix here
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: very soon.
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: Practices of us had just started today and.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: Then I talked to c J. Baxter at media.
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: Day and he said he's one hundred percent good to go.
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: And you know, he the the you know, number one
• 47:59
  Speaker 7: slot and running back is there for him to take
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: if he takes the opportunity takes advantage of the opportunity.
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: He did not go through a spring ball and they
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: were they knew what they had and just wanted to
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: make sure that they got him to fall camp and
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: to the start of the season. And so he said
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: he's one hundred percent healthy. So we're looking forward to
• 48:23
  Speaker 7: seeing what he does with his opportunity. And then Anderson
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: Stein has built an outstanding offensive lines. Yes Sports ranked
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: them third best in the country. That would be quite
• 48:36
  Speaker 7: a new level back to some of the.
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: Glory days of coach Stoop's term in that area.
• 48:44
  Speaker 7: With what they termed the big Blue Wall here. If
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: they're that good, then they feel very good about the
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: O line. They have an All SDC candidate at tight
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: end and Willie Rodriguez in his third year. But the
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: wide receiver room there's I think I think the feeling
• 48:59
  Speaker 7: is there's a lot of talent there, but they're waiting
• 49:01
  Speaker 7: for you, somebody to demand to be the guy with
• 49:06
  Speaker 7: his play in practice and then when the games starts.
• 49:08
  Speaker 7: So I think there's talent in the wide receiver room,
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: but there's not a defined pecking order yet. And with
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: Anderson being you know, a step late, maybe out of
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: the gate to start fall.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: That gives other.
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: Guys even more of an opportunity. So we'll see how
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: that one plays out. CJ, I think is the guy
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: to start with it running back when when he's healthy
• 49:29
  Speaker 7: and he says he is.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: I got to ask you about this schedule because one
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: thing that I've talked about teams that play in this
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: day and age now with the nine conference games, teams
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: that play a traditional rival at the end of the
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: regular season a non conference game. We were talking about that
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: with Georgia Georgia Tech, Florida Florida State obviously the same
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: with the Cats having to play.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Louisville on Thanksgiving weekend.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: The other two it is like you only have two
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: weeks of non conference play to get in gear. In
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: the case of Kentucky you got one, You've got Youngstown
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: State and oh Alabama comes to town on that followed
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: by a road trip to College Station before the next
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: non conference game against South Alabama. So I get the
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: feeling there's that sense of urgency there to try to
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: make sure that the guys are rammed up and ready
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: to go. Because yes, the Youngstown State Penguins are the opener,
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: but the Alabama Crimson Zider week two.
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: Yes, and you know Kentucky is looking to this new staff,
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: and you know they are certainly looking.
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: To be as.
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: Good as they can be in year one.
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: But I think certainly understand that it's.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: Going to get better.
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: The way that they're recruiting their their talent based So
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: the way you even you know, improve that talent procurement
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: is to pull off an upset. And certainly it's like
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: the line from the Herbs Brooks character played by Kurt
• 50:55
  Speaker 7: Russell and miracle, great moments are born from great opportunity.
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: And they have great opportunity for.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: Sure, no doubt about it.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: He's Toime Leeds, play by play voice in the Kentucky Wildcats. Tom,
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: I know we don't see each other in the regular season. Hey,
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: maybe both teams get on the running, meeting in Atlanta
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: for the SEC Championship. Otherwise, I know I'll see you
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: when you come down here to Loustin for basketball, so
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: we're looking forward to that as well. And then in
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: basketball obviously a much anticipated pastime there in the Commonwealth.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you taking the time and we'll look forward
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: to seeing you down the road.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us.
• 51:32
  Speaker 7: Look forward to getting back down to Austin, and best
• 51:35
  Speaker 7: of luck to the Longhorns this season, and do coach
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: stoops and hope they have a since they don't play
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: the Cats, they can win all their games.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: That's true. There you go, Hey, thanks, appreciate it all right.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: That is the play by play voice of the Kentucky Wildcats,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: and that's Tom Leech Kentucky. Yes, I mentioned they open
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: their season against Chunkstown State at home, Dennik play Alabama
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: at home second week of the year and that's a
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: conference game, and then go to College Station and play
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Texas A and M. Before they have another non conference game.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: It's against at home against South Alabama. Then they go
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: to South Carolina and then get this LSU at home
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: at Oklahoma, Vanderbilt at home, then after an open eight
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: at Tennessee Florida home at Missouri, and then can they
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: conclude with their blue Grass state rival, the Louisville Cardinals.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: Funny schedule because you missed the top two in the
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: preseason poll with Georgia and Texas not on there. But
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: you also, if you're Kentucky, don't get to see Arkansas.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: Who's your kind of your consensus bottom of the SEC
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: preseason Power rankings. So it's an interesting schedule. They don't
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: play back to back road games all year, so that's something.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll certainly help as well. And our thanks to
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Tom Leech joining us. The the SEC previews will continue tomorrow,
• 52:54

• 54:03
  Speaker 2: on the program so far our first four days of
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: the three weeks of SEC football previews, there are sixteen teams. Obviously,
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: any preview you're going to have on Texas is going
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: to come from this spot right here, but the other
• 54:17

• 54:22
  Speaker 2: five per week for three weeks fifteen. So that's going
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: to be the case there, and we'll continue to do
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: that tomorrow. Tomorrow we visit with a play by play
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: voice to talk about a team that did not make
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: a change with its head coach. As I mentioned, Neil Price,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: the voice of the Mississippi State Bulldogs, will join us
• 54:44

  Speaker 3: That's j Moya.
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: Jay, be glad you were not the first person. Be
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: glad you were the fourth, because we said it was
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: going to go to the fourth person to check in.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: But Jay, you are the fourth to do it. So
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: you get a copy of the magazine. Like we said,
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: we'll alternate it between some trivia questions and the luck
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: of the draw the lottery. Therefore you as well, and
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: we'll give away another copy next hour with using the
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: talkback line through a trivia question. All right, let's hear
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: some more from Longhorn's head coach, Steve Sarkishan, and that
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: would include the player's conditioning element. And this is another
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: question media asked pretty regularly, especially at the start of
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: the fall camp.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: I remember Mac Brown used to.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Talk about this a lot about you could tell the
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: players who had worked really hard during the summer to
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: keep themselves in physical condition and to improve upon their
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: physical conditioning. So Sarker was asked are there players that
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: he could tell that they bought into the summer conditioning
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: to continue to improve the physical nature of their presentation.
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: You know, I was.
• 56:43
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you who I was impressed with. The other
• 56:45
  Speaker 9: way was Ian Jafard. You know, where his weight is at,
• 56:48
  Speaker 9: what his body looks like right now, and his ability
• 56:50
  Speaker 9: to move.
• 56:51
  Speaker 8: That's super encouraging for us.
• 56:53
  Speaker 9: Like this guy's down almost twenty five pounds now, you know.
• 56:57
  Speaker 9: And so I look at it. I look at it
• 56:59
  Speaker 9: both ways. You know, the guys who built up Colin
• 57:01
  Speaker 9: Brown looks phenomenal. I mean, you talk about a guy
• 57:03
  Speaker 9: who's bought into a college program, and I always forget
• 57:07
  Speaker 9: guys after the fact if I should have said him
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: or said him and Derek Cooper for a guy who's
• 57:11
  Speaker 9: just should you know, just to get in here, looks
• 57:13
  Speaker 9: looks great.
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: So a lot of the guys that bought.
• 57:16
  Speaker 9: Into it, Like I said, I think coach Beckton and
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: his team do a great job with our guys all
• 57:20
  Speaker 9: summer long. And I thought this team bought into the summer,
• 57:23
  Speaker 9: you know, they were really committed to the summer.
• 57:25
  Speaker 8: I thought it was helpful.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, Next, another question that's always asked right at the
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: start of fall camp workouts, which starting spots would start,
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: say at this point on August sixth, are up for grabs, a.
• 57:39
  Speaker 8: Lot of them, you know.
• 57:40
  Speaker 9: I mean, I think this team is really deep, and
• 57:43
  Speaker 9: we're gonna need a lot of these bodies.
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 57:46
  Speaker 9: You guys know what our schedule looks like, and you
• 57:49
  Speaker 9: know you're playing playing nine conference games now with Ohio State,
• 57:52
  Speaker 9: Texas State, and UTSA both probably gonna be bowl teams
• 57:55
  Speaker 9: this fall. So we've got a we've got a real
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: challenging schedule. We're gonna need as many bodies as we can,
• 58:01
  Speaker 9: and the goal is to be a quality too deep
• 58:04
  Speaker 9: at every spot with hopefully you got a third guy
• 58:06
  Speaker 9: that can play if he needs to, and so hopefully
• 58:09
  Speaker 9: we can develop all of that, you know, it all
• 58:13
  Speaker 9: three phases, you know, because special teams is going to
• 58:15
  Speaker 9: be a crucial in that aspect as well.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Toward that end, he was also asked for the updates
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: on guys like Andre Kojo and ty Anthony Smith coming
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: off of injury.
• 58:28
  Speaker 9: They're out there, you know, I mean, this first day
• 58:31
  Speaker 9: it is tough, you know, because I'm trying to watch
• 58:34
  Speaker 9: We've got two spots going on. I'm trying to see
• 58:36
  Speaker 9: everybody there. I noticed him today. I don't know exactly
• 58:39
  Speaker 9: how well they did. It's great to have him back.
• 58:40
  Speaker 9: I can tell you that we need both those guys.
• 58:44
  Speaker 8: But you know, got a look at the tape and
• 58:45
  Speaker 8: see how they did.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's that's certainly fair.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: He was asked if there were some new practice structures
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: in place on field for some of the new additions
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: to the program.
• 59:01
  Speaker 9: I don't think so, you know, I mean, I think
• 59:02
  Speaker 9: that you know, one thing I was impressed with today
• 59:05
  Speaker 9: and I know this sounds you know, it's day one,
• 59:08
  Speaker 9: of course it should be. I thought our coaches were
• 59:10
  Speaker 9: really good today. They coached and they were getting after it.
• 59:13
  Speaker 9: And that culturally is something that I think is important
• 59:15
  Speaker 9: for the players to understand that our coaches are going
• 59:18
  Speaker 9: to be demanding and we're going to push them to
• 59:20
  Speaker 9: try to be the best that they can become. And
• 59:22
  Speaker 9: I felt our coaches today and I think that is
• 59:25
  Speaker 9: part of our culture that we've got to really get
• 59:27
  Speaker 9: into that the players understand how hard we're going to
• 59:30
  Speaker 9: coach them to try to get them to become the
• 59:31
  Speaker 9: best players they can.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, A couple other areas one environment, the spirit, the
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: nature of the brain work, and the emotion that goes
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: into a practice session.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: What is he looking for there?
• 59:50
  Speaker 8: I mean, there should be a real level of intensity.
• 59:52
  Speaker 9: It is football, right, and we got helmets on and
• 59:55
  Speaker 9: we'll get pads on here in a couple of days.
• 59:57
  Speaker 8: There's got to be a level of intensity.
• 59:59
  Speaker 9: But through the intensity, there should be a relative sense
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: of calm that we can execute through that level of
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 9: intensity and through those stressful moments, because games are going
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 9: to present stressful moments to us.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, how about what the players and for that matter
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: of the coaches have learned from the experience of all
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: of this?
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, experience is great at anything that we do,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 9: especially when we can learn from that experience that we
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 9: can get better from it. I think that lends itself
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 9: to that sense of calm. Right, Guys who've been in
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 9: the fire, when those stressful moments present themselves, they don't
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 9: get overwhelmed with it. And so that experience is huge,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 9: you know that that hopefully we can reap the benefit
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 9: of that when the season does roll around.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: All right, the end of the yang on that is
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: the freshman. How much patience you have to have? What
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: do you look for in the freshmen those types of
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: things and what can you expect when you have freshmen
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: on the field.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 8: Do they know what to do?
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 9: Like this is a very you know, day one, it's
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 9: really pared down. So can they process the information from
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 9: the eating room, take it to the practice field and
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 9: apply it. I don't expect them to be perfect, but
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 9: that is the best indicator because the skill set is
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 9: a skill set.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 8: We know what that is.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 9: But that's the best indicator of what it might look
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 9: like down the road that they can take in information
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 9: process and go do learn in the meetings tonight, apply
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 9: some of the things that they need to be coached
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: on to get better at, and then show me that
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 9: they can do that again tomorrow. And that's that's the
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 9: key to the drill with those guys as they kind
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 9: of work their way through training camp.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: How about for start what's stay one?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 7: Like?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: For him?
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 9: Fun sweat and it was great, it was hot. But
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 9: I love training camp. You know, we do so much
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 9: right now in our profession that when you get two
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 9: hours on the grass with your team, like I eat
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 9: that up and.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 8: It was fun for me.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 9: You know, I tried to really watch our team today
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 9: and not just be so enamored with just the quarterback
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 9: and the receivers. I was trying to watch it a
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 9: little bit more get a sense and a feel, Like said,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 9: I wanted to see our coaches, coach. We got some
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 9: new faces, and so I enjoyed it.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 8: I had a blast.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right. Next he was asked about more questions
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: about arch. There's always going to be multiple questions about
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: Arch Banning. So to Sark, what would a successful camp
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: look like for arch Banning?
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 9: I think being really efficient, you know, having having really
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 9: good rapport with with the receivers, the offensive line. His
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 9: ability to continue to take care of the football I
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 9: think is huge for him, and then his ability to
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 9: find those explosive plays that I think we want to
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 9: be as an offense, and a lot of that's going
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 9: to come from him.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: Well, one thing that we've seen is Jelani McDonald be
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: able to be versa whether it's corner safety, nickel, whatever
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: it might be. And so Sark was asked what is
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: the expected role for the senior Jelani McDonald.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 9: I hope a big one, you know. I think Jelani
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 9: is a great player. You know, I don't know if
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 9: he's getting enough notoriety for how good he really is.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 9: I thought he had a great year last year. I
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 9: probably thought he probably deserves some some All Conference honors
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 9: and even at the end of last year, so hopefully
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 9: he can build off of that season. I think this
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 9: defense with coach Muschamp really fits Jelani. I think Cavin
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 9: coach Gideon Back is great for Jilani as well. And
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 9: I think he's had a really good offseason. I've been very,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 9: very impressed with him. I mean, he coach Beckton gives
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 9: out certain grades for guys in the summer and he
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 9: was a gold You know that that a gold star
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 9: for him?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 8: Is that that's.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 9: Huge from where he's you know, where he's grown in
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 9: our program over the last three four years.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: One thing that Sark has talked about over the course
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: of his now going into his sixth season at Texas
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: is getting bigger, faster, stronger, obviously, but deeper, developing the depth.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: It was going to have to take stacking recruiting classes,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: signing classes in order to build the depth that he
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: wants to see out of his program. And so he
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: was asked, where does he see the progress and the
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: meat are going here for the depth as opposed to
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: some of his prior teams.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 8: It feels good. You know, we'll see you know again.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 9: I think that the portal in some ways helps because
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 9: you can fill very specific spots. From a debt perspective,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 9: it hurts too, we lost a lot of guys, you know,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 9: and so how it all ties together and leaning into
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 9: who are gonna be the young players that are gonna
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 9: step up and maybe not be frontline players on offense, defense,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 9: but play on two or three special teams. Are covered
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 9: on kickoffs and doing those types of things, because that's
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 9: where your depth can show up as well. When you
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 9: can have you know, you're not just bringing guys on
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 9: the trip when you go to Knoxville that they can
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 9: contribute in some capacity when we go on the road.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: A couple more from sark one.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: How big is the fall camp for this class, for
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: the class of twenty twenty five, now those recruits coming
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: in forward.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 9: It's big for all those guys, you know, because I
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 9: think we live in a society of like instant gratification.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 9: The guys a five star and they're supposed to show
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 9: up and be freshman. Every guys supposed to be a
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 9: freshman All American and it really doesn't work like that.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 9: There's a developmental aspect to a player in our program.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 9: And so when you when you just hit three awesome names, right,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 9: because I think these guys are poised to take a
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 9: huge step on our program. From Justice Jonah, Nick Townsend,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 9: Amari Winston, a bunch of these guys, Kate Phillips, this
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 9: is this is a big moment for them, right to
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 9: see where they've gotten from year one to year two.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 8: And we need them.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 9: We're as much as we tried to get older as
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 9: a team, we're still relatively young. I think we're like
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 9: the fourth youngest team in the country. It's like crazy,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 9: I go to the portal and I'm still young, you know.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 9: So you know we're gonna be counting on those guys
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 9: to contribute.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 8: To for us.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, And then one more from Start asked about the
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: Senate bill, the save College Sports thing, and the the
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: big ten in the SEC are finally on board that
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: are still working through some wrinkles, but it looks like
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: that's going to pass as well. Does Sark see that
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: Senate bill bringing some stability to the whole specter of
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: nil where everybody can be competing under the same set
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: of rules.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 8: I think.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 9: So, you know, I think anytime I've been saying this
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 9: all along, I think anytime we have structure, it's good.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 9: And we've been operating for the last year and year
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 9: and a half with very minimal structure, and I just
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 9: don't think that's healthy, all right, So I think if
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 9: this bill goes through and some of these things, you know,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 9: get streamlined in a sense where it provides structure for
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 9: all of us, I think that's healthy, you know, and
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 9: we're not all just kind of living in the wild,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 9: wild West.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's good to know. And we'll see.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: Because remember this bill. While many were all in favor
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: of it and thought that it was going to be
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: the best thing for college football, in its original structure
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: the way that it was drawn up, it was not
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: too especially some of the top line power for conferences,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: most notably the Big ten in the SEC, and they
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: pushed back on it until there were adjustments made with
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: regard to nil and not only that, with regard to
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: television rights and things of that nature.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: So apparently there was enough.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: Tweaking of it, a massaging of it, to get it
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: to a point where the bill was something that everybody
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: could live, at least the decision makers in college football.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up, we're gonna hear more from the
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys, more from sark as well, or more Longhorn players,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: or excuse me, long Horn head coach team Sarcasian, and
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: we'll hear from Cowboys coaching staff. So stayed with us.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: One more hour of the show to go. Right here,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: I'm thirteen under the.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 11: Zone Furman final hour of the program here on sports
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 11: Radio AM.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: Thirteen hundred The Zone Craig Wade, joined by the producer
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: Jay Carman. Back in the house today, back in the saddle.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: By the way, I hadn't mentioned this earlier, you know,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: when we're doing this.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: There, my my wife Linda, who has yet to meet you,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: has never met you, nevertheless, feels that on some level
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: your kind of kindred spirits. So she says, she said,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: she said, I love Antone. She goes, I also feel
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: kind of connected to Jake too, just kind of kendred
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: with some of your philosophies on things and your sense
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: of humor and stuff like that.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: I wonder, yeah, I wonder what specifically made her say that.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: First of all, I can't wait to have the chance
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: to meet her at some point.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's just.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: Conversations that you and I have had on the air,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: And so I think she kind of almost pictures herself
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: in some of the conversations that she and I have
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: and some of the some of the give and take this.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: Oh I see, I'm her stand in on some of
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 3: these things.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe you may be they I don't know, but she
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: uh but she is uh uh but but she does.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: Feel kind of a kinship to you on that. Maybe
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: it's the I have to put up with this guy motif.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's something like that, I don't know.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: Am I that curbudgety does that come through?
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: No?
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: No, no me?
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where she's like I have I.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: Linda have to put up with this and and and
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: so too does Jake. So maybe it's that, I don't know,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know what could be. Could be. I'll give
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: her the benefit of the doubt on the deal. Anyway.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: We will continue, uh our giveaways of Dave Campbell's Texas
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: Football magazine. Uh So we've already uh, you know, given
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: out a couple of copies, and we're gonna give away
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: another copy, uh at the end of this first segment
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: or at least I'll toss it out there. We've had
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: we've had it's been interesting. Uh so far as we've
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: given away three copies a day, one per hour, and
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: to do this for you know, like I said, a
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: total of three weeks. We're past the midway mark of
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: the first week of the giveaways, and we've had a
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: lot of people, a lot of different perspectives and people
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: winning it.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: And we've mixed it both with some trivia and also
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: we mixed it just going random. Be the whatever eighth
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: person to reach us on the talkback line, because that's
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: what you have to do. You have to use the
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: talkback microphone to access us. We'll repeat it every time
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: just in case some folks aren't up to speed on it.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: What you do is you download the iHeartRadio app. It's
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: very easy and it's free. So you download it and
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: then you search in your search bar or search window however,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: whatever you have on your smartphone, be it an iPhone
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: or an Android, whatever you search AM thirteen hundred the zone.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: When you put that in there, AM thirteen under the zone,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: it's going to pop straight up. And when it.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: Does, then you will see a couple of buttons. There's
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: a little white button that's triangular shape that's just to
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: listen to what's going on the ear. It's that red
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: button that you want to pay attention to, the red
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: button with the little white microphone inside of it. You
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: tap that button and then you leave us the voice
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: message with your answer. And as I pointed out, you
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: know a lot of folks, you know, like to reach
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: us instead of using the text line. They like to
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: have their voices heard on a topic, and so they'll
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: use the talkback mic and say, hey, you know, I
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: don't think the long worns a conference schedule is as
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: difficult as a lot of folks think it is. Let's
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: talk about you know, something like that they have thirty
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: seconds to state their case. You don't even need thirty
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: seconds when all you need is that when we do it,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: you're either an answering a trivia question like you'll do
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: here in a few minutes, or when we do random,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: let's just say, I say we're going to take the
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: eighth person doing it. And when you contact us on
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: the talkback mike, you're all you have to say is
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: I want the magazine with your name and phone number.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: That's all you have to do. I want the magazine,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: so you do that. That's when we do it randomly.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: That's what we did last hour. But this hour we'll
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: have another trivia question coming up. All let's hear some
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: more from longrn's head coach Steve Sarkisian. This was following
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: yesterday's practice, and of course they have the second one
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: going on right now. As we speak, coaches quite often
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: talk about, uh, you know, getting everybody united.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: On the same page.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: Aligned is a popular word these days, all those kinds
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: of things, and so sark was asked about what is
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: the biggest challenge of getting a talented, very talented group
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: of players to congeal and play together as a team.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 9: I think that's the challenge, you know. I think you
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 9: answered your own question. I think that's the biggest challenge
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 9: we have as a coaching staff is to take the
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 9: talent and give them to play as a team right
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 9: and and to be a great team, and to understand
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 9: that they need each other to be as successful as
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 9: we want to be. And we say it all the
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 9: time around here. Team success is what then provides individual accolades,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 9: awards and honors.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 8: It doesn't go the other way around.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 9: And so I think us playing as a team is
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 9: the that's the secret sauce, you know that that we got.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: To get right, very very important. And as I mentioned
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: the other day, the other thing is kind of important
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: is for coaches, and I talked about this with the
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: Cowboys training camp, that yes, the macro is to get
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: everybody together, to to be able to blend together and
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: build into a really good unit. Within the framework of that, however,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: as monitoring the individual progress of certain players, and that
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: might even hold a little more you might say, might
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: might might even hold a little more meaning for the newcomers,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: whether you're talking about a freshman coming in or if
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: you're talking ones who have come in through the portal,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: and that would include rushing Biles coming into the linebacker spot.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: And what has he seen that Biles has brought to
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: the team.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 9: Well, I mean he's athletic, he's fast, he's versatile, he
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 9: can rush the passer. He's really good in pass covers.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 9: He made a great play in pass coverage today about
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 9: forty yards downfield. So that versatility is huge. I was
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 9: fired up about him when I turned on his tape,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 9: you know, and it was like, this guy's picking off
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 9: balls and running back for touchdowns and sacking the quarterback.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 9: I was like, that's our kind of guy, right, you know,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 9: creates turnovers, creates those havoc plays. And so I think
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 9: it started when I watched the tape, probably even before
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 9: we got on the phone with them.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: Continuing with some of the requisite questions with regard to
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: the quarterback, sar College Dress addresses plenty of those in
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: every media availability, and one of the ones that he
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: was asked about Arch Manning was the whole thing about
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: the layup throws, of the throws are going down there,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: and would he expect to see arch.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: Improve on that? Would he be surprised if he didn't
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: improve on it?
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 9: Well, I would be surprised because I think that he's
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 9: put in a lot of work and I've seen the
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 9: progress that's been made by him, and that's a credit
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 9: to him and the time and effort he's put into
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 9: this thing. So my goal and hope for him is
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 9: that he just does what I've been watching him do,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 9: because I think if he can take that next step,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 9: we know the big play potentials there.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 8: It's like I say, making your layups is huge.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: Certainly a big part of it all right.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: Additionally, there's always going to be the question with the
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: backup quarterback. You know, I've joked about this, but it
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: was true. It was true that Donovan Forbes, who was
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: a backup quarterback in the late eighties for Texas, who
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: coined that very popular phrase, the most popular man on
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: campus at the University of Texas is the backup quarterback.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: So maybe that's not the case with everything that everyone
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: is hoping for and expecting of Arch Manning. But how
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: does Sark balance the development and the continued progress for
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: Arch Manning while investing in his backup quarterbacks?
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 5: That's what we do.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 9: I mean between coach Millwy, Coach Bamonte, and myself. You know,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 9: I think you know, kJ and Dia have got bright,
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 9: bright futures and they've made huge strides, and so we
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 9: pour into all those guys. You know, it's not just
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 9: about Arch around here. We're going to pour another those
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 9: guys too.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: And one more from Sark, And this particular one would
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: go to the intensity of his team. Now, you know,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: you would expect your football team to be intense, and
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: much has been made about the intensity of say Will Muschchamp.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: With those of us who've been here long enough, remember
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: that from the first go round, and obviously Will is
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: going to.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 5: Be like that.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: So that's one thing. But additionally, how about the rest
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: of the coaching staff and does the intensity of this
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: coaching staff trickle down to the players overall?
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 9: I think so, you know, I mean, I think about
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 9: all of our guys. I was saying today, I took
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 9: a moment in team period and I just watched our
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 9: coach's coach. I was so I was really impressed, you know.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 9: And we're fortunate we've got a great coaching staff. These
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 9: guys do a tremendous job in preparation of getting not
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 9: only the players prepared and ready to go, but themselves too.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 9: And I just think that they coach hard, you know,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 9: but I think they coach out of love, and I
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 9: think our players understand that.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So there it is.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: Some things from sark As we've had throughout the course
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: of the program. And there'll be another media availability today.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: Have to practice. We'll hear some more tomorrow following today's practice,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: and that media availability will hear tomorrow. Okay, we need
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: a break.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: When we come back, we're gonna talk to more Dallas Cowboys,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: but we're gonna give away another copy of Dave Campbell's
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: Texas Football Magazine. Like I said, we kind of just
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: alternate between doing a trivia question and then just taking
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: the random person checking in through the talkback microphone. So
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: first hour we had a question, and the second hour,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: last hour, we had the random person checking in. So
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: now it's back to a question again. And this goes
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: back to bowl games. Now, we mentioned the other day
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: about Texas, in fact, yesterday about Texas beating Ohio State
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: in the two thousand and nine Fiesta Bowl. After you
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: know the heartbreaking way that two thousand and eight went,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: and with the loss of Texas Tech, and through that
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: bizarre tiebreaker that the Big Twelve head that nobody else used,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: they didn't get a chance to play Missouri, a team
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: they'd already throttled during the year for the Big Twelve
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: Championship and a chance to go on and faced him
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: Tebow in Florida for the National Championship. Oklahoma, by virtue
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: of that tiebreaker, then went on the beat Missouri and
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: then lost to Ou and Tebow in the championship game.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: But Texas of course went on and won the Fiesta
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: Bowl over Ohio State. The next time they would play
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: Ohio State in a bowl game was of course that
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: summifinal in the Cotton Bowl a.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: Couple of years ago when they lost twenty eight to fourteen.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: But to do that, to do that, they had to
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: get past Arizona State in the Peach Bowl.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: And we know what an epic game that was. What
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: I want to know is what's the final score? What
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: was the final score.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: Of that Peach Bowl win in the College Football Playoff
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: over Arizona State? And if you know it, be the
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: first person to reach us on the talkback microphone. So
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: you download the free and easy, easy to download iHeartRadio app.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: You search AM thirteen under the Zone. It comes up.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: You press that little red butt with a white microphone
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: there and you tell me what the final score of
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: that Peach Bowl was in the.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four season.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: So you do that, and then you'll have the opportunity
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: if you're the first one to pick up a copy
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: of Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine. Up next, we'll talk
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: to more Dallas Cowboys when we continue on thirteen under
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: the Zone.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: All right here on a Thursday, sus Ramones.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: Sure is yeah, I thought so on the thirtieth anniversary
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: of their last performance. Really this according to on this
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: day dot com who they performed at the Palace in Hollywood, California,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: and it was apparently their last performance today in nineteen
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: ninety six.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 8: Wow, who would have who would have thought?
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, did I know?
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: Um?
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: Again, that was tossed out there our trivia question to
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: give you a chance to win a copy of Dave
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: Campbell's Texas Football Magazine. And that question was when the
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: log Worns won the Peach Bowl over Arizona State. And
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: give you a hint if you haven't already, it went
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: double overtime. What was the final score of that Peach
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: Bowl game? Get it correct? Me the first one to
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: get it correct, and you'll win a copy of Dave
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: Campbells Texas Football Magazine.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, let's see who remembers their overtime rules?
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: Not only that, if you don't, let's just say, you know,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: because we've been given away three copies per day, you know,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: throughout the course of this week, and we'll do it
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: all next week and all the following week after that.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: Let's say you haven't won yet and.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: You're thinking I don't know that I can win. I
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: don't know the answered trivia, and I'm just not lucky. Whatever.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: The nice thing is is that you'll still have opportunities,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: You'll still have chances to win over the course in
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks. So I would say, do
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: not lose hope on that. You know, Cowboy fans certainly
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: haven't lost hope despite the fact that it's been now
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: gonna go be thirty one years when you get into
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: this season. Since that, since the Cowboys have last even
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: appeared in an NFC championship game, let alone made it
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: to a Super Bowl or won a Super Bowl. But
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: you know, hope, spring's eternal every year, and.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: I've probably heard more.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: Optimism, not just from Cowboys fans. In fact, maybe even
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: some more from the fans than the players themselves. But
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: they but the players have all exuded their optimism. You've
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: heard Dak Prescott talk about the whole Super Bowl or
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: bust thing, and other players mentioned it as well. Cede
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: Lamb we heard him during the week talking about it
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: as well, and Brian Chottenheimer, for his points his part,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: said that's that's the mindset he wants his team to have.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: That goes to his coaching staff as well. He wants
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: them to have that. Christian Parker's a Cowboys defensive coordinator
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: and if you're going to think about Super Bowl, you
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: got to get your players, especially your younger defenders. He's
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: the DC ready to contribute quickly, and Parker knows that's
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: a responsibility.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 5: It's a lot.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 12: I think you want to number one, be as detailed
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 12: as you can, but also make it simplistic for them
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 12: and do things in buckets so they can, you know,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 12: compartmentalize the information that you need them to know. Everybody
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 12: has learned a playbook at some point in their career, right,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 12: and some college defenses are more advanced from a sense
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 12: of volume and things like that than they are in
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 12: the NFL and in some instances, so the difference.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 5: Is the level of detail.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 12: He doesn't have to They don't have to worry about
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 12: study hall and you know, doing those things that college
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 12: students have to do anymore. You know, if they still
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 12: have to do them anyways now, but you know, they
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 12: don't have to worry about those things. So then it's
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 12: the NFL one on one as we call it. You know,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 12: what are the rules? You know, there's gonna be a
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 12: dB in every preseason game, you know, every year, not
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 12: every preseason game, but every year in the preseason. You know,
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 12: receiver catches the ball, he doesn't get touched down.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 12: So those NFL one on one principles, formation awareness, situational awareness,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 12: field awareness, all of those different things that it takes
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 12: to play the NFL style game.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 5: You want to advance that with them so.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 12: Then they can play with a clear mind and focus
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 12: on their detail and fundamentals schematically.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: Parker also understands that if you're going to be better,
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: and especially if you're going to be a contender for
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: a playoff spot, division title, whatever conference title, super Bowl,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: whatever that might be, if you're going to be a contender,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: you have to be here's that word again, aligned.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: And part of that is the communication.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: And he talked about the importance of buying in from
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: his and the staff overall into improving their communication on
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 12: I mean, I think if you step in our meeting
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 12: room and you hear how loud it is, you might
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 12: think something wrong is going on. And that's a good thing.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 12: You know, guys are understanding what needs to be said.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 12: And I think you know, communication is two parts, right,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 12: So it's giving and receiving. So I can't just be
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 12: aimlessly yelling and saying a bunch of things if I
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 12: don't know who I'm talking to, what those words mean.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 12: How that changes things when we can adjust something when
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 12: we can't. So I think they're taking that next step
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 12: in terms of who am I speaking to?
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 5: And also if I'm receiving.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 12: That communication, I got to make sure my ears are
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 12: open eye and even know who I'm listening for. But
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 12: they're definitely taking that to heart. And we still have
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 12: a you know, more to go, but there's a lot
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 12: of encouraging things that are happening from a vocal standpoint.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: A lot of conversation about Caleb Downs, the rookie from
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Ohio State, and he's already flashed some things early on
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: in camp, even though they've only been in pads for
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: three days.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: But Downs is impressive, folks, And.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: So Christian Park asked, how has Caleb Downs embraced his
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 2: first opportunities to contribute as a professional.
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 12: I think he's embraced it from what we expected. You know,
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 12: he's very willing, he's very curious, and I think that,
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 12: you know, going to the previous question, curiosity is one
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 12: thing for young players that you really look for.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 5: They want to know the why behind everything.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 12: We give them that up front, the intent behind each
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 12: thing that we're trying to do. And so I think
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 12: with him, he has that natural spirit about him for sure,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 12: and I think that he's managing both positions well, you know,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 12: we kind of have a certain plan for him each
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 12: day in terms of how that looks. We do that
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 12: for every player, but he's really embracing, you know, what
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 12: we're trying to do with him and overall as a defense.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: The offensive side, Clayton Adams is the offensive coordinator for
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys, and there's a lot of conversations about how
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 2: they improve the running game and can they be better
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: at it? Can they be more effected? Most importantly, and
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: this is that old coaching thing about if you can
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: run the ball when the opponent is expecting you to
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: run the ball and you're still effective running the ball,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 2: that's that's critical.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: That's important. And so Adams was asked about.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: Or if there is something more that he and the
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: offensive staff can do with say Javonte Williams in the
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: run game.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I think obviously the guy is pretty
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 13: good on direct runs and he's hard to get down
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 13: behind the line of scrimmage. But I think that he
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 13: is a more diverse runner than he probably gets credit for.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 13: I think the guy does a really nice job with
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 13: some of the outside zone stuff, particularly the weak side.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 13: He's got really quick feet, He's able to get in
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 13: and out of cuts really well, and he's one of
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 13: those dudes it's not scared to run through the smoke,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 13: and that's what you're gonna have to do on some
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 13: of the what some people would call mid zone, which
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 13: I don't believe in. I don't think it exists, but
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 13: some people call it that. I think he's good at.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 13: I think he's good at a lot of things.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: And then it comes down to the sum of the
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: parts of the running game, and that means having a
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: lot of guys who can contribute. One of those is
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: the former long horn Jada and Blue, and we heard
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: Jayden yesterday discuss how he can be better and what
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: he's got to do and what's important for him to
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: be able to earn the trust of his teammates, and
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: Blue was saying, you know, understanding my assignments, knowing where
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: I'm supposed to be, having a ready response, not you know,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: not just showing up and hoping that it all works
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: out well. Clayton Adams was asked where has he seen
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: the most growth from Jaden Blue.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 13: I mean, you know, so far, it's been consistency, which
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 13: is really what we were looking for last year was
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 13: to get a professional every day and I think he's
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 13: had some growth in those areas.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 13: I try to make sure that I talk to him
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 13: every day and give him some feedback on what I
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 13: think he's doing good and what he's not doing good,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 13: and try to make sure that you know, some of
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 13: these guys are twenty two, twenty three, twenty four years old,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 13: and so I just think having to having the ability,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 13: you know, which not everybody does, to have like adults
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 13: on your roster to say, you know, like you think
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 13: Dak would do that, you know, how do you think
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 13: that that he's carrying out his day, how do you
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 13: think he prepared to show up today? Is a very
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 13: positive thing for us. And so those are the things
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 13: that we just got to continue to grow and look for,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 13: and so far there's been a lot of growth.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: So there are some more Dallas Cowboys for you there.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: Let's talk a little more INFL. Since we were talking
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: on the subject of running backs, we've seen running backs
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: in recent days coming up with big deals, none bigger
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: than that of Beejon Robinson, the former Longhorn, getting a
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: record setting deal of an extension with the Atlanta Falcons,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: who's coming up near the end of that first contract.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: And they went ahead and a deal that may be
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: on the highest paid running back in the NFL. Fifty
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: one million guaranteed and as much as seventy five million
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: dollars overall with.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: The incentives and the things like that. If it all
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: works out.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: The Lion's running back, Jamir Gibbs is trying to get
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: a new deal. He's one of those, as they like
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: to say, hold ends how to hold out. He's in camp,
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: just not taking part in the physical part of it. Well,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: the Colts decided to go ahead and get away from
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: any of that deal. They did an extension with Jonathan
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: Taylor two years, forty four million dollars. The deal has
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: a maximum value of forty seven million, and that's thirty
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: nine million guaranteed. That's the third largest deal for a
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: running back in NFL history. Now, Jamiir Gibbs deal win
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: and if it you know, ultimately gets done may earn
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: Gibbs as much even if not more than Beehon Robinson.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: It might be in that neighborhood, so it may push
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: Taylor's total deal down. Taylor was asked if he saw
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: Robinson's deal that could jump start the talks with the Colts,
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: and he said, hopefully. I've got to talk to my agent.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: I need to go talk to him and see where
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: things are at. I'm just trying to focus on getting better,
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: but I have faith I'm gonna tap it and check
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: him with him now that you guys broke the news
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: So then they went and they got a nude.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: So he is now under contract with Indianapolis through the
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight season. So Jonathan Taylor with that extension
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: for him, So more and more running backs are getting,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: you know, a little more love in terms of the money.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 2: Wide receivers. Odell Beckham Junior, remember him. Remember what a
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: playmaker he was. Remember how big he was in the
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl for the until he blew out his knee,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: laid in that first half and then had to recover
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: and then went through a couple of deals last year
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: and and you know, ended up on the sidelines for it.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: So now he's trying to get his game back in gear.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: He had another really strong day of practice yesterday with
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: the New York Giants, the team that drafted him like
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: twelve years ago. So I'm not surprised by this. OBJ
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: as they know him, Modell Beckham Junior is a guy
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: who kind of fashions his career path, let's just put
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: it that way, similar to and a football version of
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: what Lebron James.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: Has gone through. Now here's the difference.
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, he says, quote, I'm just trying
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: to be present each and every day and prove to
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: myself that I am who I know I am.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: Everybody likes to talk about is he going to be this,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: He's going to be that?
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, hey, Lebron James used to take off
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: for the free throw line, and now if he's taking
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: off of his right foot in front of it, he's
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: still got a different game.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: But he's still playing at a high level. I believe
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: that can play the high level.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: So it's probably a good thing that the comparisons stopped there,
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: because whereas Lebron can get into the argument with folks,
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: his career can be you might say, really discussed at
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: length as to whether he's the greatest to write there
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: with Michael Jordan or one way or the other.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: You don't even.
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: Make that comparison with Odell Beckham junior with even receivers
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: really good, yes, but has not put together Hall of Fame.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: Total yet.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: And by the way, a Hall of Fame game is tonight,
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: the first NFL game if you want to call it
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six preseason, you have any plans at
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: all to watch Panthers and Cardinals.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 3: Tonight, you know, if I get desperate enough, I will.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: I was really hoping a couple weeks ago. I mean,
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 3: I couldn't have dreamed it a couple months ago, but
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: I was really hoping a couple of weeks ago that
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 3: Nationals Baseball would be able to take precedent on the
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: TV over preseason football, because I haven't been able to
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: say that in the last few years.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and now that they went through the fire sale,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: it's a different story.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 3: I think it's a different story. I think we're watching
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 3: Carson beck and Kenny Pickett after all, Okay, and.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: You know who else I think we're going to see tonight.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 2: I think we're gonna see Haines King tonight. Haines is
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: on the Panthers roster and at the recent Coaching School,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: a Texas High School Coaches Association's annual coaching school, and
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: the convention that I was at down in Houston, John King,
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: who is the head football coach at Longview and Haines's dad,
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: he was getting two honors. He was being inducted into
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: the Texas High Coach Association's Hall of Honor, and he
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: was receiving an additional award as well for his.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: Meritorial service and things of that nature.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: So I visited with him, and I knew that Haines
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: was on the Carolina roster, but I asked him, how
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: you know how things are going?
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: He said, He's been great so far.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: He's he's been really good, and he's probably going to
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: play in that first preseason game. Okay, one hour if that, yeah,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: it's it's probably about an hour hour after that banquet
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: is over done. I walked back from the George R.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: Brown Convention Center and of a skybridge thing. The walk
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: over connects to the Marriotte Marquee where the where the
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: headquarter hotel was. The Coach Association and that's where I
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: was staying. So I go over there and I get
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: a text from Greg Tepper, the editor in chief of
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: Dave Campbells Texas Football magazine who's on with us every
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: Tuesday with his Tuesdays with Tepper thing and TEP and
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 2: I had kind of tentative plans to meet up after
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: the banquet. Uh, TEP had company dinner and meetings and stuff,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 2: so he couldn't he couldn't attend the banquet, but we
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: said we'll catch up backwards. And so he texted me
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 2: and said, hey, we're down in Bigio's, which is the
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 2: sports bar inside of the Marriott Marquee of course owned
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: or at least his name is on it, Craig Bigio,
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Famer from all those years with the Asterids.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: So he said we're down there, and I said, okay,
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: I'll be right down. So I changed clothes, get out
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: of my suit and get more comfortable, and I go
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: down into the bar and Temper is there, and so
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: is the rest of the staff, Ashley Pickle and several
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 2: of the other ones from Dave Campbell's Texas Football. So
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: we're out there and we're just we're just having a chat.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 2: And having a beverage in our hand. And that's when
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: I mentioned I think I mentioned this run on a
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: campig when Jerry Maguire comes up and bear hugs me
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: from behind and we have a we have a chat.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: For a few minutes with him and tepper me.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 2: We have good chat, and then he leaves and we're visiting,
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: and near the end of the time down there, I decide, Okay,
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: I'm going to head back up get some sleep because
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: I've got a busy day tomorrow.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: What would the panel discussion all that?
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 2: I turned around to go out and who is standing
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: there visiting with one other person but looking at me,
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: squareing the guy, but Haines King.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 1: So I come up and visit with him.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: He looked bigger, stronger, all that kind of stuff like
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of folks are saying about Arch Manning.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: And I said, how you doing great?
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 4: Great?
• 1:37:29

  Speaker 2: That that you know, Stevie wonder alive and doing quite well. Anyway, Hey,
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: there was another pro football note I wanted to get to.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: What do you think about Stefan Diggs being a Washington commander.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a it's a homecoming of sorts. Look at
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 3: Diggs being from the greater DMV area. I told the
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 3: story of my middle school basketball DC Maryland, Virginia. But
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: it doesn't extend maybe all the way up to Baltimore.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 3: It's just the greater DC metro area that's in those
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: three states. Okay, A lot of people think it's Delaware. No,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: it's not Delaware.
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: Delaware. Does it include then I'm trying to figure out
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: what the dividing line. Does it include College Park, Maryland?
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 3: That would be on the free Yes, that's very much
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: of the DMV. Okay, all right, silver Spring, yes, Silver
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 3: Spring is like on the Beltway.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, right, Uh not Frederick.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 3: No, that you're really reaching going.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: For Frederick, all right, And if you get much below Arlington, Virginia,
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't you're surpassing the southern border.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can go a little bit further out past Arlington.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 3: Arlington is you know, squarely in the DMV. But you know,
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 3: you can get out to towards Burke and Alexandria and Fairfax. Yeah,
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 3: if you're getting closer to Manassas, you're starting to push it.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: What about East Annapolis.
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 3: Annapolish, that's not really the DMV.
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, So the cutoff is somewhere along I ninety seven
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: before you get to Anapolis, then on the east side.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because then then you're you're you know, those are
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 3: some of those are Baltimore suburbs.
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: I got you, Okay, all right, So Stefan, Now where
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: was he from?
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs? I know, I know, I think he went
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 3: to Good Council. But had he gone to public school,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 3: he would have gone to my rival high school, Thomas
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: Wooten in Rockville, Okay.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: And and he did, by the way, go to Maryland's
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: first fall practice yesterday, and the university shared a video
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 2: message on Instagram where he said, shout out on my
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: turps and go commanders, let's go.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: Well, look, he's still able to play at a high level.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 3: We saw that last year with the Patriots. So I
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 3: think it's a great safety blank get as a second
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: wide receiver for Jaydon Daniels. It made a ton of
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 3: sense and it was cheap.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: Here's a personal note, personal aside. When the Longhorns played Maryland,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: Oh I remember this, yeah, well at two ignominious defeats,
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: the one at home Tom Herman's first game in twenty seventeen,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: and then the next year when they played them at
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: then it was known as FedEx Field.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was worse. That was my first game as
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 3: a student that I watched. Okay, And of course my
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 3: Maryland friends are just setting the verbal slings and arrows, of.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: Course, of course.
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 2: And I think the final was like thirty nine thirty
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: four or thirty four to twenty nine if something like that.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: Horns were down big though, they were big, and then
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: Ellen ger let him on the comeback and they almost
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: caught him. And the other thing that comes here was pouring, driving,
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: pouring rain at one point, and our broadcast booth was
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: not I've talked about this before, not in a good
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: position when directly in the end zone and low. So
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: we're trying to call some of the action that was
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: down at the far end of the field off. A
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: real grainy monitor in the booth, and the loot and
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: the roofs leaking. Now, we weren't getting the sewage that
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: apparently some other folks did. We've heard about from Washington
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: Pro football games with the sewage leaking from the upper deck.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: You remember those stories.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 3: Leaky sewage glass staircases for people to look up at it.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 3: There's so much wrong with that building. It's haunted, collapsing
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 3: bleachers that almost injured jail.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: It hurts. Yeah.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: So anyway, my point was going to be was in
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 2: retrospect looking, guy, I wish they had play that game
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: at Bird Stadium in College Park. Now I do kind
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: of quote unquote mentally collect stadium and arenas that are.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: Pro venues to call games on. So that's one checked
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 1: off the list.
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: I'm only glad that I won't have to go back
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 2: there because they do not have Maryland on the horizon.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: All right, the end of the program is on the horizon.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 2: We'll be back to wrap up today's edition of the
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: show here on sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone
