  Speaker 2: be West Texas State one in Canyon. It's going by
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: East Texas A and M. The Chancellor John Sharp said,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and I agree with this quote. This is long overdue
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and it returns to the original tradition of E T
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: as the university's symbol while raising its prominence. This university
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: has always been bigger than one town in Texas. So
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: East Texas A and M they will hence falls, they
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: will be known as East Texas A and M. On
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: a John Cougar Mellencamp then, huh, John Cougar Mellencamp, because
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: then he dropped the Cougar, just went by John Mellencamp,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you know, and changed his name. Yeah, it was first
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: first he was John Cougar, then it was John Cougar Mellencamp.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, and then then for a while he was just Mellencamp.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Now that's going back to John Mellencamp, which kind of
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: makes sense. He's good to see in concert. Have you
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: ever seen him in concert?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I'm actually, if we did the music survey, I might
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: change him to the most overrated.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Oh ridiculous. I'm not a Mellencamp fan at all. Okay, okay,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: all right, Jack.

  Speaker 2: I saw him at the Urine Center. Is good, it's good.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: He's still turning. I think out there it's.

• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, they helped create farm Aid because he cares
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: about farm aid. Yeah, the concert series when they were
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: trying to help all the farmers, that's a real thing.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You ever heard of farm aids Okay? I remember Live
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Aid Okay, it was an offshoot of Live as Farming.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: You're so young, Okay, farm Maid.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: If I ask you this question, it's a band playing
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: at emos to stop it.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Uh uh. This was a Heather Dinni's question.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I put it to you who will be the last
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: meeting team between Oregon, Miami, BYU, Indiana and Army. This
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: included going into the Differens Championships are after let's just
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: say going into the conference champions I would say Miami
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: most likely. Well, what's Oregon schedule? Me pull up Oregon schedule.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's a cruise.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: From here Maryland.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin has got a bunch of injuries in Washington, so yeah, Oregon,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: because Miami's had a little had some close calls. So
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: think it would be Oregon and Miami both will probably yeah,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: probably be that.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: You think Army will lose to Notre Dame.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And then looking at by u's upcoming schedule, they
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: still have Utah home for Kansas at Arizona State, who's
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: got maybe the most underrated running back with the best
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: name in college football Skataboo Kim's Kataboo Skataboo. And then
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: home for Houston.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Houston, by the way, beat Kansas State is best week
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: they did. How about the cap they did and that
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: damaged Kansas State and the Big twelve terms of the playoff.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: All the text lines when he said, hey, I just
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: saw that Pony Pony Express documentary as it was called
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Pony Excess. It's fun to watch Ron Myers knows actually
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: grow in five gs. That's that's a pretty compelling ESPN
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: thirty for thirty. If you haven't seen Pony Excess, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: then somebody else had come in on.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: You, youth is wasted on the young gem dot ag. So
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: there you go.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: All right, let's let's let's hear from Longhorn's head coach
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Steve Sarkisian in discussing this matchup with the Florida Gators.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: But first of all, he was asked, does he change
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I think I already said this though, the one about
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the lagway, But here's what here what Here's what I
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: wanted to say. How does he keep the team focused
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: on the singular game while not losing sight of the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: overall goal which he set all loong is to reach
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the SEC championship game.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we always try to recognize, you know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: what the end goal is and then and then kind
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: of leave it there and then work my way back
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: to what's happening today.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: We use the adage be where your feet are.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Okay, what are you doing today to put yourself in
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: position for that end result? What are you going to
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: try to do Saturday? Put to put yourself in position
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: for that end result. So we really just focus on
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: the task at hand. We really want to make sure
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: that we play our brand, our style of football. We
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: all we use the adage you know that the games
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: in November the ones they remember, And so you know,
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: how are we going to play Saturday? How are we
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: going to start this this November runoff? This phase three
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: of the season off at eleven am kick, and so
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: there's a lot to talk to this game. It's an
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: eleven am kick, is the first one we've had since
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Week two. It's a home game at eleven am, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: so our schedule adjusts a little bit, So there's a
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: lot to talk to that way that I don't have
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: to talk to too much about the end result right now,
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: because I think we all kind of know the mission
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: that we're on now. The focus is really on what
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: do we need to do today, what do we need
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: to do this week to continue that journey.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Then he was asked about the challenge that Desmond Watson,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: who's a nose tackle.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: For the Florida Gators.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: If you haven't heard about Desmond Watson, Desmond Watson is
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: six feet five inches tall. He weighs, according to Florida
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Media Relations, four hundred and forty nine pounds four hundred
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and forty nine pounds, and Sark was asked about him, say, Hey,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: that four hundred and forty pound dude. You know Desmond Watson.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: How do you deal with him?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: They listening for forty nine, not even for forty and
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: that might be generous.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm fired. I recruited him in high
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: school and I.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Remember vividly going to Armwood High School with Coach Banks
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: and seeing him in person.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: It's like, Wow, that is a really big person.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: But but the thing about him, he's got suddenness, he's
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: got quickness, and uh, He's not like a guy that
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: just stands there and you know, puts his arms out
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: in two gaps of center or something they call movements,
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: they call pressures with pressures with him, and so I
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: think that's one of the things that could that can
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: cause you issues. It's like trying to go to hit
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: somebody and you just know you're winding up and you've
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: got to hit this guy. You think he's a stationary
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: target and he's not, and then he gets on an
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: edge and he gets a tackle for a loss.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: And so I think.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: We've really got to, you know, trust our fundamentals, our
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: techniques in this game because he's not the only big guy. Naturally,
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: they only have one guy over four hundred pounds, but
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: they've got plenty of three thirty three forty guys on
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: that interior defensive line that that we're gonna have to
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: contend with.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: But he said they only have one guy over four hundred,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: over four hundred.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: But got other big guys.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Is one of the guys who might have to go
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: up against Desmond Wise and is Cam Williams, And Sark
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: was asked about Cam, who has been starting throughout the
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: season but has had some difficulty with penalties either a
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: false starts or holds, or there was an unsportsman like
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: conduct when he got an altercation. So how about what
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: it's been like working with Cam Williams to try to
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: reduce the number of penalties and keep him effective on
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the offensive front.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, I think again, it's it's a
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: it's him playing with the utmost confidence. You know, he's
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: a first year starter, you know, who's you know, he's
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: going to be making his ninth career start Saturday, and
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: so you know a lot of times when a guy's in,
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: you know, year three of your program, we think, well
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: he's experienced. Well he's experienced on the practice field, Maybe
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: there wasn't as much experience on game day and some
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: of those things that come along with game day. And so,
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: you know, I think just maintaining that that mental intensity,
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: maintaining that focus, and maintaining that confidence uh to play
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: the way that he's capable of playing the game.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: He's very talented young man.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: He's a great teammate, and so you know, I'm looking
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: forward to him seeing the growth in him in the
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: second half of this season.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: All right, coming up, we're gonna hear Sark.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he finally was asked about the college football playoff rankings.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I asked him about Actually MS Jean, who was there,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: had the question card about his impressions that you can
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: hear that A long warned weekly coming up at seven
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: o'clock tonight, but from the media Zoom today we'll hear
