• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the NBC Sports Network. You got that going on. Tomorrow's
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: game is at 2 o'clock. If necessary, Wednesday's game will
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: be at.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Let's see, is it 2 o'clock?
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: It doesn't say.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Game time to be determined if there is a necessary
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: game three on Thursday.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I told you A.J. Bluebaugh is getting the start. Hagan Smith,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: his first career start today. You know, with the playoffs
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: starting quickly and these teams were vying for spots, A
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: lot of pitching worn out. Apparently that was not the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: case today in Atlanta, which the runs came late today
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta. Aaron Judge will not be in the wildcard
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: series for the Yankees, but Giancarlo Stanton will be. Stanton
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: hadn't played in over five months. He was activated from
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the 60-day injured list today. Outfielder Trent Grisham also on
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: the roster. Judge has not played since training a right
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: calf muscle injury. on the 16th a couple of weeks ago.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Athletics outfielder Zach Geloff has filed a lawsuit against the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Detroit Tigers for damages after his right knee slammed into
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Comerica Park fence during a game last summer. The Tigers
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: said they're aware of the lawsuit but won't comment. The
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: lawsuit does not specify an amount but seeks compensation for
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: severe pain and suffering. I've got some severe pain and suffering.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I may call and see if I can get part
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of this class action deal. Emotional distress, check. Economic loss, check.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Significant medical bills, attorney's fees, and other things.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: G-Loft was hurt in the third inning of a loss
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: last July. No, this July, making a sliding catch in
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: foul territory and colliding with a metal fence.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Tyler White has probably been the best player A &
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: M has so far this year. He was named today
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the Ray Guy Punter of the Week. He earned the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: honor after punting seven times.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: You don't punt that much during the game.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: While averaging 51.9 yards per punt. Three punts inside the 20.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Two fair catches. He had six of them over 50.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: The longest went 58. Through four games, he's punted 15 times.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and is averaging 50 yards per punt, which leads the country. Again,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you want your punter to be good.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Tyler White had not.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Really performed up to level, frankly, the last couple of years,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: but this year he has been. And again, you don't
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: want to be punting seven times a game. Former Auburn
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: football staff member has been accused of stealing trade secrets
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: from the Tigers and sending them to at least 11
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: other teams. Court records show David Rudolph Ginrath, who's 24.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: By the way, when you get a report on somebody,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: you never want the middle name. When you get the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: middle name, you know he's in trouble. General 24 turned
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: himself into authorities yesterday, was charged with theft of trade
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: secrets and computer tampering, both felonies. He's being held on $ 15, 000.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Bond in Auburn.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: A police department news release today said, quote, a business reported.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that sensitive information was stolen from the business and distributed
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to their competitors. The business reported that one of their competitors...
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Are they calling college football a business?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Is the Auburn police calling college football a business?
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Come on now.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: The business reported that one of their competitors received the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: information and turned it over to them. So if there
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: were 10 teams, 11 teams and only one of them goes, yeah,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: we don't think this is right. The police report did
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: not identify the schools that received the stolen information. A
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: complaint alleges the incident occurred July 19th at the Auburn
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Athletics Complex. Auburn officials have declined comment. What did this
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: guy not get the raise he asked for? Did he
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: not like the new coaching staff? Did he sell the information?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I feel like there's a movie of the week coming up.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: At the least a 30 for 30. In basketball, Florida
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: guard Denzel Aberdeen was granted, by the way, Aberdeen's 102
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: years old, was granted a temporary injunction against the NCAA today.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: clearing the way for him to suit up for the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Gators for this coming season. He transferred from Kentucky to
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Florida earlier this spring in hopes of being granted a fifth.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Year of eligibility.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Todd Golden released a statement, said, We're pleased with today's ruling,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: especially happy for Denzel. The first AP Top 25 poll
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: will be released sometime next month. Florida is projected to
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: open the year as the preseason number one. The Gators
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: return their entire starting lineup after winning the program's.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: First national title. Okay, we'll go with that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: It's almost basketball season, and I've already heard some rumblings
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: around here from Aggie fans that they're looking for. forward
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: to basketball season already.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Football season's not over yet.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: We've only played four games. We've got a long way
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: to go. I know some of you are concerned about
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: that very fact. There's a long way to go. As
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I count it, eight games left in the schedule. So
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: including six o'clock against the piggy people on Saturday night.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: And I haven't checked ticket prices lately. I got to
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: get on StubHub and check me some ticket prices. I'm
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: guessing that there are probably a few seats available.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: We're going to look at that. Two tickets, cheapest.
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: 108.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: 108 is the cheapest?
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: That'll go down. I'm guessing. We're supposed to get rain,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: but it may be out of here by Saturday.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Look, I'm not a meteorologist, but I darn well could
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: be the way most of these guys are. Because I
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: can actually tell you right now it's partly cloudy outside.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I don't think the meteorologists anywhere can tell me that.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: They keep telling me it's going to rain. But I'm
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: kind of a see it when, I'll believe it when
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I see it kind of guy. So we'll see how
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: that works out. I did check the radar before I
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: came in. It is raining in New Mexico, which is
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: a ways from College Station.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: We'll see how that works out for us. We need it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I don't have a lot of faith. Okay,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: we're going to take a break tomorrow. Scott Clendenin will
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: be with us. We'll have some topics. Mallory is due
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: in tomorrow.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe we'll hear from Jeff Levy tomorrow. Maybe we'll hear
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: from an Aggie football player tomorrow as well on the show. Thursday,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: we'll have another high school report. In 20 minutes, Caleb
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: will have one today. And we'll have our Clark Eisenhower
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: outdoor edition. Lots of sharks in the news already this week.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I'm just throwing that out as a warning. This portion

  Speaker 12: after every Aggie football home game here on The Zone.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And thanks for joining us. It is Tuesday.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Astros playoff baseball is on Willie. I wouldn't advise you
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: turning over there right now. You'll miss our show, number one.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Number two is the Astros, so who cares about that?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: So just keep it here. Or you could turn on
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Da Peacock if you have that. Or the NBC Sports Network.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't they carry the Dan Patrick show for a while?
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe they still do. I don't know.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure NBC Sports Network carries Dan Patrick. And
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I believe this is also correct, that Dan has announced
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: that next year will be his last in the media business.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: No, they don't carry it anymore. I know they used to,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: didn't they?
• 15:02
  Speaker 13: Yeah, they stopped doing it in 2021.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, so it's been a little while.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: So did they carry, did he have his own, does
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: he have his own, like, is it your tube or
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: is it something else that carries Dan Peck? Because I
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: know it's, you know, I know it's videoed as well
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: as audioed.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Peacock. No way. So they moved it to Peacock, huh?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: They want you to pay for Dan. I like Dan.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: But I'm not paying for the peacock. Sorry.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: But as we've said many, many times before, you people
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: better get used to paying for your sports that you've
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: enjoyed for free all your lives.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I get you're already paying for it. If
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you have dish or.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Satellite or you're streaming, you know, so you're kind of
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: already paying for it.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, you're going to be paying individual
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: So like in a few years.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: The A & M Arkansas game, if you want to
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: see it, will be on the Peacock or some other
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: streaming platform that if you don't have, you're going to
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: have to pay for. If you don't believe that, I've
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: got some desert land in the middle of the Pacific
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: I can sell you.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: It's going to happen. Because, you know, college football needs
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: more money. You've got to have more money. not making
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: enough money.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: This Protect College Sports Act, I'm still not convinced that
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: it's going to become law. It's obvious that the House
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: is not going to take it up until after the elections.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: It's not obvious that if they do take it up,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: it will be passed. So while everybody is high-fiving that
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: this act has been passed in the Senate, it has
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: a long way to go. It's certainly not a slam dunk. Okay,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: coming up this Saturday, Alabama, Mississippi State, in Stark, Vegas.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Here is Bama Coach Kalen DeBoer.
• 17:34
  Speaker 14: I just thought the improvement in a lot of areas
• 17:38
  Speaker 14: for our football team from week three to week four
• 17:40
  Speaker 14: showed up.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: You heard from the coordinators.
• 17:44
  Speaker 14: I think the common theme that you continue to see
• 17:48
  Speaker 14: from this team, I talked about it after the game,
• 17:50
  Speaker 14: is just... A couple things, I think their composure and
• 17:54
  Speaker 14: just how they are with their emotional maturity, the critical
• 17:57
  Speaker 14: situations and not getting caught up in it and going
• 18:00
  Speaker 14: out and focusing on executing, making plays, even the emotional
• 18:04
  Speaker 14: piece of the game when things flare up and it
• 18:09
  Speaker 14: gets a little crazy there.
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: I thought our guys just respond.
• 18:12
  Speaker 14: We've been mentally disciplined and physically sharp. I think our
• 18:18
  Speaker 14: physicality shows up. Just proud of the guys in a
• 18:21
  Speaker 14: lot of those areas. Obviously, there's always things we've got
• 18:23
  Speaker 14: to improve, but I thought it was our most complete
• 18:26
  Speaker 14: game up to this point. We're going to get challenged
• 18:28
  Speaker 14: here this next week against a very, very good Mississippi
• 18:31
  Speaker 14: State team. Coach Levy's done an awesome job bringing these
• 18:34
  Speaker 14: guys together. They're off to a great start, going to
• 18:37
  Speaker 14: go into an environment we know that will challenge us.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: Just got to continue to focus on our process, focus.
• 18:47
  Speaker 14: On us, And, you know, I think our guys really
• 18:50
  Speaker 14: believe and continue to evolve and continue to refine individually
• 18:54
  Speaker 14: the things throughout the week that help them play at
• 18:57
  Speaker 14: the highest level they can.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: And, you know, it's just a hard reset.
• 19:01
  Speaker 14: And kind of some of the catchy phrases that we
• 19:05
  Speaker 14: refer to and, you know, resetting and starting over and
• 19:10
  Speaker 14: just working through Tuesday, Wednesday, you know, Thursday. I don't
• 19:14
  Speaker 14: care if it's meetings, practice, walkthroughs, stretch, training room. nutrition, sleep, uh,
• 19:20
  Speaker 14: it's all of it. And I think our guys, you know, um,
• 19:23
  Speaker 14: take care of themselves. And I think they also challenge
• 19:25
  Speaker 14: each other to, to make sure that, that, uh, those
• 19:29
  Speaker 14: things are all taken care of. So special teams, I
• 19:30
  Speaker 14: thought you hadn't heard from a coach Nunez, but, uh,
• 19:33
  Speaker 14: just thought they did a nice job. It wasn't this
• 19:36
  Speaker 14: game where he had big returns, um, but, uh, coming
• 19:40
  Speaker 14: from and facing a team that has a lot of, uh,
• 19:44
  Speaker 14: in times in the past where they've, they fake kicks and, uh,
• 19:48
  Speaker 14: had big returns for touchdowns. Um, I thought we were
• 19:51
  Speaker 14: very intentional on making sure, uh, those things were kept
• 19:55
  Speaker 14: intact and, uh, still got our opportunities to go make
• 19:58
  Speaker 14: some plays as well.
• 19:58
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 19:59
  Speaker 16: Do you, do you have an update on the, uh,
• 20:00
  Speaker 16: two injured offensive lineman, Javon James, Will Sanders, where they're
• 20:03
  Speaker 16: at right now?
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 20:04
  Speaker 14: Um, Will upper body, uh, injury during the game. Um,
• 20:10
  Speaker 14: I would expect that he would be able to play
• 20:12
  Speaker 14: on Saturday. So working through it here, but I would
• 20:14
  Speaker 14: expect that he'll be ready to go. And it just
• 20:18
  Speaker 14: kind of depends on what the week looks like. And
• 20:19
  Speaker 14: then Javen, lower extremity, I would say he's very much
• 20:25
  Speaker 14: questionable at this time. And so, again, we'll see how
• 20:28
  Speaker 14: the next 24, 48 hours, and I think that will
• 20:30
  Speaker 14: help kind of understand what that looks like at the
• 20:34
  Speaker 14: end of the week.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: But I would say he's very questionable at this time
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: to play. Just sticking with that theme, you had two
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: edge rushers miss the game.
• 20:43
  Speaker 14: Just where do things stand with Justin Hill and Desmond Umazulu?
• 20:45
  Speaker 14: What's the status? Both of them will continue to miss
• 20:51
  Speaker 14: some time. Justin will not be as long. Des will
• 20:56
  Speaker 14: be a little further into the season. Justin's a lower
• 21:01
  Speaker 14: extremity as well as Des. Both happened in the Florida
• 21:05
  Speaker 14: State game and so Just, you know, those guys obviously
• 21:10
  Speaker 14: play valuable snaps for us, you know, get some other
• 21:12
  Speaker 14: guys to play some snaps that haven't got as many reps. And,
• 21:17
  Speaker 14: you know, other guys that are on the field played
• 21:19
  Speaker 14: played more snaps. So just, you know, it's unfortunate for
• 21:22
  Speaker 14: those guys because they're playing some good football for us.
• 21:25
  Speaker 17: What do you see from Mississippi State's defense from what
• 21:27
  Speaker 17: you've seen on film so far?
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: What do they look good at?
• 21:30
  Speaker 14: Yeah, just complimentary football. I think getting the ball back,
• 21:34
  Speaker 14: getting off the field, you know, getting the ball back
• 21:37
  Speaker 14: to the offense and just timely stops. Just I think
• 21:41
  Speaker 14: it's a group effort, flying guys flying around. And, you know,
• 21:46
  Speaker 14: they're going to be multiple in what they show you.
• 21:49
  Speaker 14: You know that, you know, for us, we just got
• 21:52
  Speaker 14: to continue to challenge and, show different looks and keep
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: everyone involved, threaten the vertical, horizontal stretching of the defense.
• 22:02
  Speaker 14: But a lot of respect for what they're doing right
• 22:04
  Speaker 14: now at this point of the year. I think just
• 22:07
  Speaker 14: complementary team football is what they're doing really well at
• 22:10
  Speaker 14: Mississippi State.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: Explosive.
• 22:13
  Speaker 14: Obviously, their defense has to face that offense every day
• 22:15
  Speaker 14: in practice.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: High level across the board. Go to Katie on the
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: back left.
• 22:21
  Speaker 18: You talked in your opening, you liked the emotional maturity
• 22:24
  Speaker 18: and response from your team in that game. But as
• 22:26
  Speaker 18: you're entering a tough stretch of SEC play, some road games,
• 22:28
  Speaker 18: how do you make sure that guys keep their cool
• 22:31
  Speaker 18: as you're going to be facing some maybe testy environments?
• 22:34
  Speaker 14: Well, we take every opportunity that we see within things
• 22:38
  Speaker 14: that happen to us in games and how our opponent responded.
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: We look at.
• 22:45
  Speaker 14: college football, NFL, uh, showed multiple clips across the country of,
• 22:51
  Speaker 14: you know, just things that, um, we don't want to
• 22:54
  Speaker 14: have happen within and, uh, what we want to, what
• 22:57
  Speaker 14: we don't represent. And so, uh, we use those examples
• 23:00
  Speaker 14: to make sure, uh, we're always on top of it
• 23:03
  Speaker 14: and don't take it for, I don't take it for
• 23:04
  Speaker 14: granted at all. And so just, uh, again, I think
• 23:07
  Speaker 14: our guys have handled themselves very well. Uh, we have
• 23:10
  Speaker 14: a group that is intense. Uh, they, uh, They play hard,
• 23:16
  Speaker 14: but we really take a lot of pride in doing
• 23:18
  Speaker 14: it the way the game's meant to be played, and
• 23:20
  Speaker 14: that's between the snap and the whistle at the end
• 23:23
  Speaker 14: of a play. I like the way our guys play.
• 23:27
  Speaker 14: I'm sure with Josh, his intensity has raised the level
• 23:31
  Speaker 14: of a lot of other guys around him. You couldn't
• 23:34
  Speaker 14: have a nicer guy as a person, but just nasty
• 23:38
  Speaker 14: on the football field and you know, we love that
• 23:41
  Speaker 14: about him, but he knows how to keep it within
• 23:43
  Speaker 14: the confines of what the game is supposed to be
• 23:45
  Speaker 14: played at and the parameters, uh, with the rules.
• 23:53
  Speaker 19: You've had a number of transfers make an impact this
• 23:55
  Speaker 19: early point in the year. How would you just assess
• 23:57
  Speaker 19: how Courtney Morgan, his team was able to identify these guys,
• 24:01
  Speaker 19: bring them in and then be able to acclimate them
• 24:03
  Speaker 19: in a way where they can't make an impact?
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you bet.
• 24:06
  Speaker 14: Uh, I think Courtney just does a great job of
• 24:09
  Speaker 14: seeing the big picture.
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: We're meeting every single week.
• 24:14
  Speaker 14: His staff with the offensive side of the ball, his
• 24:17
  Speaker 14: staff with the defensive side of the ball. We wrap
• 24:19
  Speaker 14: up on the weekend as a full staff and how
• 24:24
  Speaker 14: recruiting is going and anything that everyone needed to know
• 24:27
  Speaker 14: because we do it as a full staff. That's the
• 24:30
  Speaker 14: way we want our recruiting to be. That's the way
• 24:32
  Speaker 14: our team is. It's all in together. But I think
• 24:36
  Speaker 14: just communication. I think there's great evaluation. I think there's
• 24:39
  Speaker 14: an understanding of what our team is and what we need,
• 24:44
  Speaker 14: you know, from year to year, whether that's.
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: The high school level, a couple of transfers.
• 24:50
  Speaker 14: But, you know, and then just the process of of
• 24:54
  Speaker 14: going through and, you know, kind of working through the
• 24:57
  Speaker 14: character piece of it. You know, there's a lot of
• 25:01
  Speaker 14: phone calls that are made to people to find out,
• 25:04
  Speaker 14: you know, because everyone can turn on the film and
• 25:06
  Speaker 14: see what pops off the screen and why everyone around
• 25:09
  Speaker 14: the country wants certain prospects.
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: It doesn't matter what level. It's the other pieces.
• 25:15
  Speaker 14: And we've brought in some guys that I think really
• 25:19
  Speaker 14: have adapted well. We would have anticipated that because of
• 25:22
  Speaker 14: our research and understanding of these guys and their character, but, uh,
• 25:26
  Speaker 14: they've come in and made an impact with their effort,
• 25:29
  Speaker 14: with their, you know, just the energy, um, just, you know,
• 25:33
  Speaker 14: putting the team first and, um, you know, the guys
• 25:36
  Speaker 14: in our program, uh, it made it really easy for
• 25:39
  Speaker 14: them to be open arms for guys that like that,
• 25:42
  Speaker 14: that wanted to help our program and also be their best.
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: Go back to the front left and.
• 25:46
  Speaker 20: Go to Colin.
• 25:47
  Speaker 21: Hey, Alan, this is, this is a game that y'all
• 25:49
  Speaker 21: haven't seen, um, in this regime, uh, against Mississippi state.
• 25:52
  Speaker 21: I'm wondering, um, Because Alabama has seen Mississippi State more
• 25:57
  Speaker 21: than a lot of teams. The renewal of this rivalry
• 26:01
  Speaker 21: or this back and forth against this team, what's the
• 26:05
  Speaker 21: relationship between focusing on this as well as recognizing the
• 26:09
  Speaker 21: historical impact?
• 26:10
  Speaker 14: Yeah, just personally, this is one of those stadiums I
• 26:12
  Speaker 14: haven't been in, played in, no matter where I've been.
• 26:16
  Speaker 14: And so just what I hear from the people that
• 26:20
  Speaker 14: I trust, it's going to be an absolute crazy environment.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: And, uh, we're going to be prepared for that.
• 26:25
  Speaker 14: We talked about it as a team this morning and, uh,
• 26:28
  Speaker 14: you know, we're looking for that challenge that we got
• 26:30
  Speaker 14: to improve on the, the, the way we started, uh,
• 26:33
  Speaker 14: the last road game. I think we've made a lot
• 26:35
  Speaker 14: of strides in that way and we've, we've learned and
• 26:37
  Speaker 14: grown since then. And so, um, you know, the week
• 26:41
  Speaker 14: of preparation and us being our best, uh, is, is
• 26:45
  Speaker 14: going to be important for us to go out there and,
• 26:47
  Speaker 14: and do what we need to do, uh, to have
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: success on Saturday against Mississippi state who, again, you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 14: playing really good football.
• 26:55
  Speaker 22: Kalen, I think four of the next five teams that
• 26:57
  Speaker 22: you guys will play are currently ranked right now.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: Just how important is this stretch for your team here
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: this season?
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's this week.
• 27:07
  Speaker 14: You know, you see the schedule in the offseason and,
• 27:11
  Speaker 14: you know, just the way we looked at it, there
• 27:13
  Speaker 14: was no teams that were just going to, you know,
• 27:18
  Speaker 14: roll over for us or anything like that right and
• 27:20
  Speaker 14: so you got to pour everything into that particular week
• 27:24
  Speaker 14: and that's what our guys have done I think a
• 27:26
  Speaker 14: really good job of so far when anticipating anything different
• 27:30
  Speaker 14: and then we focus on the next game and that
• 27:32
  Speaker 14: next game becomes the most important one and so you
• 27:35
  Speaker 14: know I just all efforts will be on Mississippi State
• 27:38
  Speaker 14: this week but it's one game at a time, you know,
• 27:41
  Speaker 14: just a year ago, we would have looked at a
• 27:43
  Speaker 14: slate of games and felt the same way. And you
• 27:46
  Speaker 14: can't even, I couldn't even tell you the order of
• 27:48
  Speaker 14: the games that we have to play here in October.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: Um, I know which one is this weekend.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Is there anything you've changed in how you handle these
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: new road environments from when you first got here?
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: Uh, no, I think, I think, um, you know, the,
• 28:05
  Speaker 14: the crowd noise and everything we're doing during the week, uh,
• 28:09
  Speaker 14: is important. Um, and how we incorporate that in, you
• 28:12
  Speaker 14: want to be able to, I mean, you know, every
• 28:15
  Speaker 14: coordinator does a little different between, uh, you know, even
• 28:18
  Speaker 14: coach Womack has to work on. And we had to
• 28:20
  Speaker 14: have issues that we worked through a little bit, even
• 28:22
  Speaker 14: with our home crowd noise. We want that now keep
• 28:24
  Speaker 14: that going.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 28:26
  Speaker 14: And we'll figure that out, but, uh, just little pieces
• 28:28
  Speaker 14: of communication that we got to clean up.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: And that's where, you know, from.
• 28:32
  Speaker 14: Week to week, um, you know, we know that, uh,
• 28:36
  Speaker 14: this week we've got to work on that crowd noise and,
• 28:39
  Speaker 14: probably a lot of cowbells that we'll be hearing during
• 28:40
  Speaker 14: practice in one form or fashion. So, uh, just, you know,
• 28:44
  Speaker 14: this week, I think the other thing is just an
• 28:46
  Speaker 14: early game, you know, 11 o'clock kickoff. And so, you know,
• 28:49
  Speaker 14: we're a morning practice team. And so I've had success, uh,
• 28:53
  Speaker 14: I think with those morning games, but, um, we've got
• 28:55
  Speaker 14: to go on the road and travel that morning.
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: So it's going to be a little different, uh, get
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: different set up that way too.
• 29:00
  Speaker 14: So, uh, just being intentional and, uh, challenging our guys,
• 29:04
  Speaker 14: these guys, uh, They all care. They care so much,
• 29:07
  Speaker 14: and so they'll put the work in.
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: They'll be intentional.
• 29:10
  Speaker 14: They'll bank some sleep, some extra hours throughout the week
• 29:13
  Speaker 14: to make sure they're ready to go on Saturday.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: It's Kalen DeBoer. They've got quite the schedule, by the way.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: They're at Stark Vegas this week. Then they host Georgia.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Then they go to Tennessee. They host A & M.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: They go to LSU. They end with Auburn. Pretty good
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: stretch of games. May not look quite as daunting, except
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: for that Georgia game and then LSU. I'm guessing that'll
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: be a night game. But Alabama has a history with Georgia.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: They do well against Georgia. They're the only school in
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: the SEC that does well against Georgia.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: So, and I like the quarterback. I like this Alabama team.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I told you, did I not, in August, when we
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: did our preview, that Tide was ranked, came in like
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: preseason fifth or sixth, something like that.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I go, nah. Alabama's not going to finish sixth in
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the SEC this year. I'm going to stand by that.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I hadn't seen anything that would change my mind on
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: that deal. We'll see how that goes. This just in,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: by the way. The White Sox won the Astros nothing.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: First inning, Houston. Won nothing, White Sox. They are on
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: their way. Sevchek Service Center, open right now until 6 o'clock.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: I was talking to a friend this morning. He was
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: giving me a Pat story.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: And how Pat has a habit of helping people. And
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I go, you know, Pat's just a dead ringer for
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: his dad, Leon. That's how Leon started the business. It's
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: like he is going to take care of the customer
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: every single time and still doing it. Pat is still
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: doing it, carrying on that Sevchuk family tradition every single day.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Whether you need a flat tire fixed or you need
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: some extensive work done to your car, foreign or domestic,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: gasoline or diesel engine, the people at Sevchuk's have been.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Doing this for over a half century now.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: And I've been part of that for most of that time,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: to be real honest with you. If you hadn't figured
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: that out yet, it's past time. They're open 7 to 6,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Monday through Friday and Saturdays, 7 to 4, at Sevchek

• 33:38
  Speaker 13: Welcome into the high school report. I'm Caleb Rapley, and
• 33:41
  Speaker 13: today we're jumping out to the Polaris Fun Center phone
• 33:44
  Speaker 13: line to visit with the head coach of the Normandie
• 33:47
  Speaker 13: Panthers football team, Mr. Chris Sexton. Coach, thanks for joining
• 33:50
  Speaker 13: me today.
• 33:51
  Speaker 24: I appreciate it. Thank you.
• 33:54
  Speaker 13: Absolutely. Well, it is everybody's favorite time of year here
• 33:58
  Speaker 13: in Texas as football season is fully underway with all
• 34:02
  Speaker 13: three levels of football in action. Almost halfway through the
• 34:08
  Speaker 13: regular season, For high school football now, as crazy as
• 34:11
  Speaker 13: that is to say, your Panthers sitting at 2-3 on
• 34:15
  Speaker 13: the season just got done with the first week of
• 34:18
  Speaker 13: district play. So what have you seen from your team
• 34:21
  Speaker 13: so far in 2026, Coach, and what are some of
• 34:24
  Speaker 13: your takeaways from the first half of the regular season?
• 34:26
  Speaker 24: Our kids, I've been super proud of how our kids
• 34:30
  Speaker 24: play on Friday night. They play really hard. They never
• 34:34
  Speaker 24: back down. And we play four quarters hard. Right now
• 34:38
  Speaker 24: what we're trying to figure out how to do is
• 34:39
  Speaker 24: execute at a higher level. And we're trying to figure
• 34:42
  Speaker 24: out how to become a championship practice team. For a
• 34:46
  Speaker 24: lot of high school teams and high school kids, practice
• 34:48
  Speaker 24: is not the funnest, but we've got to learn that
• 34:50
  Speaker 24: practice is important. And in order to get the execution
• 34:53
  Speaker 24: that we want on Friday night, we have to execute
• 34:57
  Speaker 24: and make practice important Monday through Thursday. The season so far,
• 35:01
  Speaker 24: we started out 2-0. Everybody was excited, and then the
• 35:05
  Speaker 24: injury bug hit us. We lost our starting quarterback and
• 35:09
  Speaker 24: backup quarterback in the first game. Our starting quarterback came
• 35:13
  Speaker 24: back last week and picked up. Ray left off, had
• 35:17
  Speaker 24: a couple of rested touchdowns through for, I think it
• 35:20
  Speaker 24: was 170 yards or so. Had a pretty decent game
• 35:25
  Speaker 24: in his game back. But it wasn't enough. Defensively, we
• 35:30
  Speaker 24: have played pretty well all season long. Very physical style
• 35:35
  Speaker 24: of defense. And we've been a team that can make
• 35:41
  Speaker 24: stops when we need to. We've been bend but don't break.
• 35:43
  Speaker 24: It's kind of just whatever we needed that week for
• 35:46
  Speaker 24: it to be. And so I've been super proud. The
• 35:50
  Speaker 24: turnover bug has kind of hit us a little bit.
• 35:53
  Speaker 24: Especially in our home games, we've turned the ball over.
• 35:56
  Speaker 24: In our first home game against Alto, in our first loss,
• 36:00
  Speaker 24: we turned the ball over eight times. And last week,
• 36:03
  Speaker 24: we turned the ball over four times. And our defense
• 36:07
  Speaker 24: has stepped up in a big way after some of
• 36:08
  Speaker 24: those turnovers in order to get some stops. But if
• 36:11
  Speaker 24: you keep giving the other team the ball enough times,
• 36:13
  Speaker 24: they're going to find a way to put it in
• 36:14
  Speaker 24: the end zone.
• 36:16
  Speaker 13: So this is your first season as the head coach
• 36:19
  Speaker 13: at Normandie.
• 36:20
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 36:21
  Speaker 13: You know, it's a pretty experienced team overall, I think,
• 36:25
  Speaker 13: bringing back, I think it was seven starters on offense,
• 36:28
  Speaker 13: eight on defense. But for you, you know, these are
• 36:31
  Speaker 13: all new players as far as you're concerned. So how
• 36:34
  Speaker 13: has that impacted your first year as the coach at Normandie?
• 36:39
  Speaker 24: A lot of learning has taken place by everybody. The kids,
• 36:42
  Speaker 24: the new coaches, me learning the kids, learning the coaches,
• 36:45
  Speaker 24: learning how they respond to different things, learning how they
• 36:49
  Speaker 24: respond to being coached. But the biggest deal is we're
• 36:53
  Speaker 24: still trying to learn our offense. The defense is ahead
• 36:56
  Speaker 24: right now. We're pretty simplistic on defense, but we fly around. Offensively,
• 37:02
  Speaker 24: we're still trying to pick it up. We're still trying
• 37:03
  Speaker 24: to learn our reads, blocking rules, blocking assignments when we
• 37:07
  Speaker 24: get different looks up front. So it's just a process,
• 37:11
  Speaker 24: and that's what I told them it was going to
• 37:12
  Speaker 24: be from the beginning. I had an interview early on
• 37:15
  Speaker 24: where I told them, and they put it out, Rome's
• 37:18
  Speaker 24: not built in a day. Um, and another thing that
• 37:21
  Speaker 24: has been something that we've had to overcome is that
• 37:24
  Speaker 24: I'm their third head coach in three years. So, uh,
• 37:27
  Speaker 24: we're still, it took a long time to start trying
• 37:30
  Speaker 24: to build that trust. And I think we've done a
• 37:32
  Speaker 24: pretty good job, uh, both kids and coaches of learning
• 37:35
  Speaker 24: to trust each other. Um, and we still got some
• 37:38
  Speaker 24: room to grow there, uh, but it's come a long way.
• 37:42
  Speaker 24: We've taken a lot of steps forward, um, with some
• 37:45
  Speaker 24: steps back here and there, but we've I've been proud
• 37:50
  Speaker 24: of the trajectory we've been on. Yeah, we've lost our
• 37:56
  Speaker 24: last three, but I've gotten nothing but compliments from people
• 37:59
  Speaker 24: about how well our kids played, how well they looked prepared,
• 38:03
  Speaker 24: how well we handled ourselves. Those are the big steps
• 38:10
  Speaker 24: that we are taking forward, but we've got many more
• 38:13
  Speaker 24: steps to take forward in order to become a championship
• 38:16
  Speaker 24: program like we want to build here.
• 38:18
  Speaker 13: So the back half of the schedule, all district games,
• 38:21
  Speaker 13: of course, three games on the road, two at home.
• 38:25
  Speaker 13: And this district, this is a group of teams that
• 38:28
  Speaker 13: has largely stayed the same, even though realignment did shift
• 38:32
  Speaker 13: this district from Region 3 to Region 4. But the
• 38:35
  Speaker 13: core teams, Normandie, Centerville, Leon, Corrigan, Camden, have all stayed
• 38:39
  Speaker 13: the same. And in your experience as a coach, you know,
• 38:44
  Speaker 13: spent a lot of time in East Texas as an
• 38:46
  Speaker 13: offensive coordinator, so I'm sure you're familiar with a lot
• 38:49
  Speaker 13: of these programs, even though it's your first year as
• 38:51
  Speaker 13: the head coach at Normandie. But what are your thoughts
• 38:55
  Speaker 13: on District 14 and some of the challenges you might
• 38:58
  Speaker 13: face in the last five games of the season here
• 39:00
  Speaker 13: as you try to get the Panthers back to the playoffs?
• 39:03
  Speaker 24: There are no easy games in this district. This week
• 39:07
  Speaker 24: we have Centerville, and Centerville is going to be a
• 39:10
  Speaker 24: tough physical team like they always are. Leon has been up.
• 39:15
  Speaker 24: Coach Thomas has done a great job over there. There's
• 39:19
  Speaker 24: no easy weeks in this district. I feel like this
• 39:22
  Speaker 24: district is continuing to get tougher every year. It's just
• 39:30
  Speaker 24: a tough district. I don't know how else to put it.
• 39:33
  Speaker 24: I don't really know much else to say. All the
• 39:35
  Speaker 24: coaches do a pretty great job with their teams, getting
• 39:38
  Speaker 24: them prepared for each school each week. The kids everywhere
• 39:43
  Speaker 24: in every for every district team is going to play
• 39:47
  Speaker 24: hard because we're all in kind of close proximity to
• 39:50
  Speaker 24: each other so all the kids know each other so
• 39:53
  Speaker 24: they all want to beat each other when they're not
• 39:56
  Speaker 24: uh hanging out or friends wherever else they are they
• 39:59
  Speaker 24: all want to beat each other so you're going to
• 40:01
  Speaker 24: get everybody's best shot every.
• 40:02
  Speaker 13: Week you mentioned uh the centerville tigers which of course
• 40:05
  Speaker 13: is a not just a district game that's crucial to
• 40:09
  Speaker 13: the season for y'all, but also, like you said, there's
• 40:11
  Speaker 13: some rivalry there with having three teams in this district
• 40:14
  Speaker 13: all in Leon County, Leon, Centerville, and Normandy. So what
• 40:18
  Speaker 13: do you expect to see from the Tigers? What are
• 40:20
  Speaker 13: going to be some keys to success for your team
• 40:23
  Speaker 13: on Friday night?
• 40:25
  Speaker 24: We have to stop the run. That's When it comes
• 40:29
  Speaker 24: to being on defense, we have to stop the run.
• 40:30
  Speaker 24: They do a really good job and Coach Hardy's been
• 40:33
  Speaker 24: doing a great job over there for years. Those kids
• 40:37
  Speaker 24: know their offense inside and out. So we've got to
• 40:41
  Speaker 24: stop the run. We've got to find a way to
• 40:42
  Speaker 24: stop the run. We've got to match their physicality because
• 40:45
  Speaker 24: one thing you can count on with Centerville is that
• 40:47
  Speaker 24: they're going to be physical up front. The running backs
• 40:50
  Speaker 24: are going to be physical. The running backs do a
• 40:52
  Speaker 24: great job of finding the holes and understanding where the
• 40:55
  Speaker 24: blocks and understanding where everything is going to open up.
• 40:58
  Speaker 24: And we got to find a way to fill and
• 41:02
  Speaker 24: make those holes disappear as soon as possible. So it's
• 41:07
  Speaker 24: going to be what I said the other day, I
• 41:09
  Speaker 24: told somebody it's going to be a rock fight and
• 41:11
  Speaker 24: it's turning. It looks like it's going to be even
• 41:13
  Speaker 24: more of a rock fight. Now that we've got this
• 41:14
  Speaker 24: rain coming in, it looks like it's going to be
• 41:16
  Speaker 24: raining and um come friday night it looks like we're
• 41:19
  Speaker 24: going to have rain all weekend long so um even
• 41:23
  Speaker 24: more of a reason that we've got to find a
• 41:24
  Speaker 24: way to stop the run or it could turn into
• 41:26
  Speaker 24: a long night for us all.
• 41:28
  Speaker 13: Right last question for you here coach circling back to
• 41:31
  Speaker 13: what we were talking about earlier with all these kids
• 41:33
  Speaker 13: knowing each other um they're very familiar these towns are
• 41:36
  Speaker 13: all pretty close together uh how much do you think
• 41:38
  Speaker 13: that helps the environment on friday nights and the that
• 41:41
  Speaker 13: sense of you know kind of the school pride when
• 41:43
  Speaker 13: you're going up against uh one of your rivals.
• 41:46
  Speaker 24: The environments are awesome, especially here at Normandy. When I
• 41:51
  Speaker 24: first got here, man, they'd been down, not a lot
• 41:55
  Speaker 24: of winds. And when I got here, our first scrimmage,
• 41:59
  Speaker 24: our stands are full. And so... the support that we
• 42:03
  Speaker 24: get here in Normandy alone is awesome. But when you're
• 42:06
  Speaker 24: talking about, we have a community that I live in
• 42:10
  Speaker 24: here at Hilltop lakes, where a bunch of the kids
• 42:12
  Speaker 24: that live there to also go to Leon. I mean,
• 42:16
  Speaker 24: these kids, everybody's going to show up Friday night because
• 42:19
  Speaker 24: everybody knows each other. You're, you might be a next
• 42:21
  Speaker 24: door neighbor to somebody that you are playing that night,
• 42:25
  Speaker 24: but net and on that night, you've got to sit
• 42:27
  Speaker 24: across the field from them. So, and everybody's got to
• 42:31
  Speaker 24: work with each other. So the parents and the people
• 42:34
  Speaker 24: that work with each other want the bragging rights when
• 42:36
  Speaker 24: they go into work on Monday morning about how well
• 42:39
  Speaker 24: their team did and who won. So the environments on
• 42:43
  Speaker 24: Friday night have been awesome, and I just expect them
• 42:47
  Speaker 24: to get even better as we get deeper into the
• 42:50
  Speaker 24: district schedule.
• 42:52
  Speaker 13: All right, Coach. Well, I appreciate your time today, and
• 42:54
  Speaker 13: good luck to your Panthers the rest of this season.
• 42:56
  Speaker 24: I appreciate it. Thank you.

  Speaker 11: The Houston Texans are reeling after a heartbreaking loss to
• 45:39
  Speaker 11: the Indianapolis Colts this past Sunday. The Texans went into
• 45:42
  Speaker 11: the season with sky-high expectations, but are now 0-3 on
• 45:47
  Speaker 11: the year. Head coach D'Amico Ryan spoke yesterday on needing
• 45:50
  Speaker 11: to adjust the offense going forward.
• 45:53
  Speaker 27: The thing for me about offensive football is you have
• 45:56
  Speaker 27: to make sure you move the ball and try to
• 45:59
  Speaker 27: score as many points as possible. How that looked to me,
• 46:02
  Speaker 27: it really doesn't matter. You can think or want to
• 46:04
  Speaker 27: be a certain thing, right? But if you're shown that
• 46:07
  Speaker 27: that's not the case and it's not getting done, then
• 46:10
  Speaker 27: you have to adjust, right? And that's where we are.
• 46:12
  Speaker 27: We have to adjust some things. Of course, it's not
• 46:14
  Speaker 27: going right.
• 46:15
  Speaker 7: We're 0-3, not where we want to be.
• 46:17
  Speaker 27: So we got to adjust and rethink all the things
• 46:20
  Speaker 27: that we're doing to put us in a better position
• 46:22
  Speaker 27: to win.
• 46:23
  Speaker 11: The Texans' next game will be this Sunday when they
• 46:25

  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Glad to have you with us on this Tuesday. If
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: I'm asked about this, I will deny it. But we're
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: going to play a bit of Jeremy Pena. Now, he's
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: busy right now, losing to the White Sox 3-0. But
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: the reason I'm playing this is because he's spending a
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: lot of time talking about Jordan Alvarez, who has carried
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: this Astros team into the playoffs.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: And, you know.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: I was just listening to somebody. maybe it was MLB,
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: talking about the four must-see players in baseball, and Jordan
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: was not on that list. And the reason he's not
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: on the list is I'll just say he's from the Astros.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, if he was with the Yankees or the
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Dodgers or You know, Tani was.
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: On the list.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Aaron Judge was on the list. The pitcher in Milwaukee
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: was on the list. And there was one more somewhere,
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: and I can't think of it right now. But, you know,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: this guy is without question one of the top players
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: in the game and probably should be the MVP this
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: year of the American League. I'm not sure he's going
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: to make it, but he should be. Here is Jeremy Pena.
• 50:08
  Speaker 28: You've seen a lot of great players come through here,
• 50:11
  Speaker 28: but what he did this season, what set him apart?
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: Special.
• 50:16
  Speaker 22: You know, if there was one word to describe the year,
• 50:18
  Speaker 22: I would say it was special. He was so consistent
• 50:21
  Speaker 22: from the beginning to the end, you know, and he
• 50:26
  Speaker 22: carried us. You know, he carried our offense, and he's
• 50:29
  Speaker 22: one of the key reasons why we're in the postseason
• 50:30
  Speaker 22: right now. Christy in the front.
• 50:37
  Speaker 17: Jeremy, obviously you've been to the playoffs before, but does
• 50:40
  Speaker 17: this one feel different or maybe mean a little bit
• 50:41
  Speaker 17: more because you guys had to work through so much
• 50:43
  Speaker 17: adversity and go through so much.
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: Just to get to this point? There were definitely ups
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: and downs.
• 50:49
  Speaker 22: Last year was tough for us to miss the postseason,
• 50:55
  Speaker 22: and this year we had a lot of ups, a
• 50:58
  Speaker 22: lot of downs.
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: But we're in, and that's what matters. So we go
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: from here. Chandler on the left.
• 51:08
  Speaker 17: Jeremy, hitting ahead of Jordan, especially when you get on base,
• 51:11
  Speaker 17: I guess where's the balance in wanting to be aggressive,
• 51:14
  Speaker 17: wanting to maybe steal if you can, but understanding that
• 51:16
  Speaker 17: if you do, they may walk him, or if you
• 51:18
  Speaker 17: get thrown out, it could be one less runner on base.
• 51:22
  Speaker 17: Where is that balance, and does the playoffs maybe change
• 51:24
  Speaker 17: that mindset when you do have to be more aggressive?
• 51:28
  Speaker 22: I mean, you're on first base with Jordan hitting. You're
• 51:31
  Speaker 22: in scoring position. He's special with the bat. You don't
• 51:37
  Speaker 22: want to take the bat away from him. But at
• 51:38
  Speaker 22: the same time, I feel like if I could be aggressive,
• 51:41
  Speaker 22: I have the green light to be aggressive. We just
• 51:45
  Speaker 22: got to see the situation in the game and play
• 51:48
  Speaker 22: by that.
• 51:54
  Speaker 28: Joe just talked to us about how you guys have
• 51:56
  Speaker 28: constantly been able to overcome adversity. What is it with
• 52:00
  Speaker 28: the makeup of this team, the veterans and the young guys,
• 52:03
  Speaker 28: that's allowed you guys to do this and see it
• 52:05
  Speaker 28: through to the postseason?
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: I'd say it's a culture.
• 52:09
  Speaker 22: We have players that as soon as they step foot
• 52:11
  Speaker 22: in the clubhouse, they know what's expected.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: They know the standard.
• 52:17
  Speaker 22: Everyone's on the same page. We all show up with
• 52:25
  Speaker 22: one goal in mind, which is to win ballgames. Everyone
• 52:28
  Speaker 22: always puts their part into it.
• 52:36
  Speaker 29: Jeremy, I know you talked about you guys are in now,
• 52:39
  Speaker 29: but talk about this team's opportunity and if all that
• 52:42
  Speaker 29: you went through this year gives you kind of a,
• 52:45
  Speaker 29: I don't know, a leg up or a boost to
• 52:46
  Speaker 29: face whatever comes next.
• 52:49
  Speaker 22: I say everyone starts from zero. Everyone starts from zero.

  Speaker 20: are you feeling kind of at, the plate right now
• 53:26
  Speaker 20: compared to where you were maybe two three weeks ago
• 53:27
  Speaker 20: and what do you feel like has been the biggest

• 53:42
  Speaker 22: the preparation we're putting in before the games the plans
• 53:45
  Speaker 22: that we come up with to attack the day to

  Speaker 22: attack the pitchers and you know it's just the flows
• 53:50
  Speaker 22: of the season you know you're gonna have ups you're

• 54:04
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs, how much do you.

• 54:25
  Speaker 22: And do what you've been doing all year. You know,
• 54:27
  Speaker 22: you need to just focus at the task at hand.
• 54:31
  Speaker 22: Ignore all the outside noise. It feels like every game
• 54:35
  Speaker 22: gets magnified. But just keep it simple. Play a game.
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: Have fun.
• 54:41
  Speaker 7: Compete.
