  Speaker 1: On the text line, somebody said Texas and Texas A
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: and M need to take Thursday back from the NFL.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: You know, Chrystalcante says he'd like to see a return
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of Friday. Yeah, Black Friday.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Don't think Thursday's ever happens with the three NFL games. Yeah, Now,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the NFL is kind of I wouldn't watch.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Listen year well yeah, yeah next year when we're in
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: nowI yeah, you don't want to listen. I've done that deal,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: that red Eye overnight and then he'd call the game
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the next day and all that. So yeah, I wouldn't
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: mind Friday, but I'm okay with Saturday a little bit too.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Somebody else said the SEC is cannibalizing with eight either
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: competitive go back to division that they will not go
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: back to divisions.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: That's not happening.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Do you think the tire breakers just to figure out
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: h two teams for that or the tar the divisions?
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it'd be nuts.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Well, we've seen it obviously, you know, in the Big
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Twelve and the way it's been, so it's nuts. All right,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: let's hear some more from Vic shafor Texas women's basketball coach.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: You heard him talking about the Texas Texas and rivalry.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: This guy graduated from A and M, who coached as
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: an assistant or Gary Blair that national championship team at
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: twenty eleven, the one there.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: He was asked if.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Aggie's viewed long Worns differently than long Worns view Aggies
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: from that perspective, because he's seen it now from both sides.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Maybe, you know, I think there's I think you could
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: you could say that.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: You couldn't say that.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I think each year's you know, it's different, you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: it just it kind of depends you and I both know.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: For instance, when I was at Mississippi State, Ole Miss
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: was supposed to be our rival. We beat him like
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: six straight years, twice a year. Well, my kids, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: couldn't even It wasn't even a matter of trying to
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: get them up. We had a lot of other teams
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: on our schedule that were got our attention a whole
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: lot more than that particular game. I think with this
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: game between these two schools, you know, each team has
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: had its moment, But I'm just talking about the overall
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: rivalry between the two schools, and I've obviously been on
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: both sides. I think just depending on the year and maybe.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: The previous years.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: You know, each place maybe puts a little more emphasis
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: on it than others. I think this game Saturday Night,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: you can forget the rivalry. The game itself, it has
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: so much riding on it, you know, with the opportunity
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: to play for the SEC Championship, that in and of
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: itself is enough, right.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's what the kids are going to be thinking.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: They don't have any idea what happened back in the
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: sixties and seventies.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: And probably don't care.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Right what they care about is playing for the SEC Championship.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: My kids I have on my team when we have
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: to go over there and play in January, they're they're
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: going to be more worried about, more in.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Tune with It's an SEC game and we need to
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: win it, period.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: You know, they they haven't you know, you and I
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: were part of the SWC, you know, the Southwest Conference.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: We know you know what all that entailed.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: We know how how dominant Texas was for so long,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: and so it's you know, in today's world, it probably
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: has a little different meaning.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I think you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, there
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: you go.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Some thoughts here from Big Shaffer let's hear from a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: couple of long worn men's players. And this might be
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: especially poignant here based on what Cameradge just told me,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: But Kenda Weaver long words Guard played really well there
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in the In the tournament, New York was was asked
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: not about playing Delaware State, but about playing Yukon, the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: two time defending national champions the following week. And of course,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: remember they played Yukon last year at Madison Square Guard
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: lost to Yukon by ten, and he was asked his
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: thoughts about matching up against Yukon again and what did
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: they learn from last year's game.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to, you know, bonding my team, you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: off the court mainly. You know that's going to help
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: us on the court against Yukon. And I think last year,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: you know, we weren't at our full capacity. You know,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: we were missing a couple of guys. So I feel
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: like this year, you know, we'll be ready to play them.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, And you just told me yesterday we were talking
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: about Yukon losing an overtime incredible game of Memphis and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: just got beat again.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: In Maui just lost to Colorado after leading by eight
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: points at halftime end up losing seventy three to seventy two.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: So the defending national champion Yukon Huskies have now lost
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: back to back games in Mali by a combined three points.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that means they're going to be playing for
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: seventh place in that event tomorrow. Let me also tell
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you this, if they keep the bracket the way they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: normally do it with the times, it's it's kind of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: funny the way they do it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: The championship game.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Is the last game obviously of the tournament, and it
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: would be tomorrow night. But the next game is not
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the third place game. At least it wasn't for years
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and years. The next last game was the seventh place game,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and part of it was because the years they had
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: shamanat in the field, so because the logo, it was
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a local And then they would play the third place
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: in the fifth place earlier in the day because those
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: teams could catch commercial flights off the island and get
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: out in time. I don't know that that's still the case,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: but they would put that seventh game next to last,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: they would play it later.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's the case with the brack
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: looking at it, and.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: They may have changed it, especially with Shamana not in
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the field anymore, so that may that may have changed it,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: and it would have made sense if they did.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: So.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing they're going to play the loser of Iowa
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: State Dayton, which would be what's today, It would be
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: tomorrow at seven o'clock at night.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, yes, that is correct, all right, tomorrow at seven o'clock.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: M Okay.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: That sounds like the next to last game, is what
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it sounds like. Yeah, that would be the seventh place game.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, actually, well hold on twenty seven, seven pm. Yeah,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that actually might be the very last game, Craig. Yeah,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: they've done it that way before too. It looks like
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: it's the very last game of the tournament.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Yep. That's what they used to do. The championship game
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: is at five pm. Yep. That makes sense.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: That makes sense because again, teams that play in that
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: deal have a chance to get out that night, like
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the Red Eye or whatever. But if you play in
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that seventh place game, and that started because of having
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Shamanad in it, they were a local so you only
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: had to worry about one team, and they knew Shamana
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: would always be in that game, although they weren't always
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: in that game. The biggest upset in college basketball history
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: happened in that tournament. Actually it wasn't in that tournament
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: was over in Maui, I mean over on the mainland
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: when shaman I beat the number one team of the country,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Virginia with Ralph Sampson. That was that was amazing that
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that happened. But I remember also when they beat Texas
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: long words too lost to meause I think that was
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: twenty ten or twenty eleven, twenty twelve, twenty twelve was
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: when they played in that thing.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: It was Yeah, it was not good.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Remember looking at it on the ESPN app and Shamana
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: didn't even have a link on ESPN dot com and thought,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: uh oh, this isn't good.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's not good? How about from Arthur Kaluma, here's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: something Arthur was asked about playing, you know, a road game.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: It's almost like a true road game playing Syracuse because
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: they had and we were both there, so they had
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: they had their band there, they had fans there. Did
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: it help the team prepare for a pro QS crowd
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: helped the team in terms of preparing what they might
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: see from ukon Man?
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Well, first and foremost.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: We treat all competition the same, all teams the same,
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: but those are big time games we really want to win.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: And if feel like the team level of preparation has
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: been at a very high level, and that obviously makes
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: us closer together, and we just got to go out
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: there on the court there and do act every day.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: We'll hear some more from those guys coming up tomorrow
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and some more from Vick Schaffer as well. We'll be
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: back to wrap up today's program here on Sports Radio
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: AM thirteen under the Zone.
