  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Brian man is being held on over a half million
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: dollars bond after a drug arrest Saturday. College Station police
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: were making a traffic stop in the 500 block of
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: University Drive East just before 1.30 Saturday morning. Their suspicions
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: were aroused when the driver seemed excessively nervous. 27-year-old Brian
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Roman of Bryan refused consent for officers to search his vehicle.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: After a canine alerted from outside his vehicle, officers were
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: able to conduct a probable cause search that revealed over
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: four pounds of marijuana, more than 500 Xanax, over 900
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: units of LSD, more than 150 THC vape cartridges, and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: over 1,300 grams of Adderall. Nearly $ 6, 000 in cash was
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: also confiscated. Roman was charged with seven counts of manufactured
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: delivery of a controlled substance, three counts of possession of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a controlled substance, and one count of possession of marijuana.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: His bond was set at $ 640, 000, but he is also
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: being held on an ICE detainer. ICE agents conducting an
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: operation in Bryan contacted 911 after they encountered aggressive drivers.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: The Brazos County Sheriff's Office says the ICE agents contacted
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Brazos County 911 just before noon on Saturday, reporting that
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: they were being followed by several individuals who were driving
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: recklessly and attempting to block the path of their vehicles.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Agents met members of the Sheriff's Office and the Bryan
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Police Department at the Brazos County Jail. The Sheriff's Office
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and Bryan PD say they were not involved in the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: ICE operation. A woman crashed into a fire truck near
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Northgate over the weekend. The College Station Police and Fire
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Departments were on the scene of a wreck on Welburn
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: near University just after 2.30 a.m. Saturday morning. The fire
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: truck was blocking a lane of traffic to allow responders
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to safely work the scene. That's when 21-year-old Kylie Davis
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of Midland drove her pickup into the fire truck. No
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: one was injured, but the impact was enough to cause
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: significant damage to the fire truck's bumper. Davis failed a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: field sobriety test and was charged with driving while intoxicated.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: She was released Sunday on $ 5, 000 bond. One man is
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: jailed after pepper spray and a handgun came out during
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: an argument Saturday night in Bryan. Reports say 35-year-old David
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Lamb and 49-year-old Christopher Alvarado were involved in a verbal
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: altercation outside of the Los Cucos on Highway 6 near
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Boonville Road just after 9 o'clock Saturday night. Lamb says
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that Alvarado threw a drink at his vehicle. Alvarado says
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Lamb tried to run him off the road. Both men
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: ended up outside of their vehicles in the restaurant parking
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: lot where Lamb was pepper sprayed by Alvarado. Lamb says
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: he unholstered his handgun only after he was pepper sprayed.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Alvarado claims he responded after Lamb drew his weapon. After
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: interviewing both men, police arrested Lamb for aggravated assault with
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a deadly weapon and Alvarado was released from the scene.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Lamb is being held on $ 50, 000 bond. Lamb has previous
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: offenses for evading arrest, theft under $ 500 and unlawful carrying
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of a weapon. And it's worth noting that Alvarado was
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: sent to prison in 1994 for attempted murder. More news
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: on the way at 630 or anytime at WTAW.com. I'm
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW. How was your weekend? It was a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: great weekend. I had a great time with family celebrating
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the oldest daughter's birthday. She was in town.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I know!
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And that was fantastic. I did, however, Tucker, I experienced
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a divine miracle on Friday night.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: A miracle?
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: A legitimate. Let's go. I've had friends that have experienced real,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: true miracles, and I'm counting this one as a miracle.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Friday night, go to the football game for A &
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: M Consolidated over at Cedar Park.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Right on.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It is delayed 30 minutes due to lightning, which is great.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: And it was nice. It was cool. It was beautiful. Yes.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: It could have been a lot worse. Could have been
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a lot worse.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: More on that in a minute.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So the game ends, and I'm looking at my watch,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and I'm realizing that I'm on about hour 21 at
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: this point in time, 22 approaching.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: What was up with that? Okay, so we've got to
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: rewind the clock because Friday comes around, and Will mentions, obviously,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Daughters in Town, big birthday celebration. You're going to go
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: watch the football game for, you know, console season. And
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: you're like, well, yeah, okay, I'm going to do this,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: do this, and get a nap. You kept on rattling
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: off stuff that you wanted to do.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Stop.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Clear.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Clear the schedule. You got an afternoon trip.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Could not go somewhere. There was no room for siesta.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Trash.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we leave the game. Honestly, about the time
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I get outside of Austin, between Austin and going through
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: all the little towns there, Manor and whatnot. We are
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: coming back that way. I don't. I don't really recall much.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I clearly do not recall. I was plainly delirious. I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: don't recall going through Caldwell. I mean, legitimately, I was
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: as weary as I've ever been behind the wheel.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: What were you doing driving?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Well, due to the same situation occurring in the past,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I fully realized that, number one, my wife does not,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: she will not drive my truck. She just won't do it?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: She won't do it. And number two, I've asked her before.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, look, honey, I'm really fatigued. I need you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to drive. And she has actually refused. And that was
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a different circumstance, right? So she was passed out completely
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in the passenger seat. Oh, so I'm, I'm legit.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: There's multiple fouls.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I was, I was just about to pull over and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: run some laps around the truck. Cause literally I was,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I was, my head was nodding.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: It was, I know I've, I've been, I've been there. It's,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: it's the worst feeling on the planet. So bad.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So then Tucker, something happened and, and, This is something
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that has happened to me in the past, but when
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: it happens, it is very, very rare. I mean, maybe
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: once every couple of years that I can remember. And
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: when it does happen, the duration is very, very short.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I was blessed with a divine case of the hiccups
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that hit me in Caldwell. And for 35 or 40
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: minutes until I got to the house, I had the hiccups. Which... Wow,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you can't fall asleep with the hiccups. You cannot fall
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: asleep with the hiccups. You can't fall asleep with the hiccups.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: The good Lord got me home working in mysterious ways
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: through the hiccups. And it sounds funny, but legitimately.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: No, I'll tell you, that's... It's better than the alternative,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: which everyone is... I don't know if you guys have...
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Some of you absolutely have to have strategies for how to...
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: stay awake when that's happening.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: It's never a problem if i'm in the car by
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: myself if i've got a passenger and i can't crank
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: up the music and roll down the windows wait wait wait.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Okay okay i wow okay so so you didn't have
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: the ability to drop the windows.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Right couldn't do any of that because because why passenger
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: princess must sleep she had her pillow and her blankie
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: yeah and.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's hard, man.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: It's real hard. But legitimately, that was I woke up
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and I felt like hell on Saturday. I don't know.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what blew in with that front.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: You got it. You got to invest in a driver, man.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: But when I when I got up Saturday, I was invincible.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I was like, look, the Lord spared me for something.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Because he clearly could have taken me.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: You know what? The hiccups are that I have never
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: seen a more welcome case. Genuinely.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: And it ended right after I got home. I mean,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it was so spooky, but it was, it was, I mean,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: it was a complete blessing.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: That is absolutely terrifying.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: The rest of the weekend was fantastic. We went out
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to dinner with my daughter's boyfriend and his family. They
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: share a birthday. So we went out to dinner on
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Saturday night on Sunday, had some family come over. We,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: we had some burgers. We swam all the nieces and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the nephew were there just a big time. We shot
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: some Shot some clays out in the backyard because we're
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: going to be doing some dove hunting next weekend.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, get a little bit of warm-up.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, got a practice missing. So I did that very well.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: And a fantastic weekend. But the legitimate thing was a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: divine hiccup intervention.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: That is so terrible. And, again, like for those of
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: you that have been in this situation before, if you
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: want to share how you get out of that situation,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: some advice.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Because that's– I used to drive. fairly regularly from San
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Antonio back to College Station, like on the weekends, right?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: And it would be about that same thing, especially if
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I was on there, you know, I was like coming
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: straight back after a week, tired and whatever. And there's
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: just like, I mean, it's enough. It was enough to
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: get me to consider buying a Tesla. But what stopped
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: me was the fact is like, well, how's that going
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: to help, bro? You're just going to fall asleep. And
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: then the Tesla is going to keep right on going.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that's worse. Yeah, they don't build
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that for that reason. Usually, you know, a good five-hour
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: energy shot would have happened. I did not have any
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: with me, and if I had picked one up at
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: that point in time, I would have been up until
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: 3 a.m.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, man, yeah.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: You've got to have an emergency Red Bull. Yeah, because
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: it was this point in time. I mean, we got
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: home just after 1 in the morning.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I will also say this, and again, I don't. There
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: are rules of the road. There are rules of the
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: road that we all abide by. One of the rules
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I've always been told, and I have abided by as well,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: is if it is a late night and you are
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: not doing the driving, you are not allowed to sleep.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: No, well, you're not allowed. That is my wife. My
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: wife knows it.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I know it. If I'm not driving, it's like, okay,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: you're staying up.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I would challenge you. I would challenge you to keep
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the women in my life awake during any length of
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: car trip. They bring their sleeping materials.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Jason texts in, Aggie. Car Service is available for private rides.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, I get it. That's fantastic.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: You have a radio show. That's what I'm saying is,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: you know, perhaps a deal can be arranged, right? The
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: benefit of will survival that a driver could ferry. the
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Welch's to and from some of these away games, which
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there will be numerous during Friday Night Lights season. Because, uh,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: good lord. Mike Guidry. That sounds like a country song
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: waiting to happen, sir.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: We'll throw that into AI later.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I already wrote it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, sure enough.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: They were spaced out a little bit, just about every
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: time I dozed off. Yeah, that's the way it would hit.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sweating now that you told me. It was truly,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, I saw the light. Little blessings, bro. Yeah,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: little blessings.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Night.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: We got to love it.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get you a pack of five.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Hours to sit in your truck. I usually have a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: four-pack of the five-hour energy shots in the truck, but
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I did not resupply my most recent dosing of five-hour energy. Beautiful,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: beautiful day, beautiful weekend. We've got rain chances this week, y'all.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: More on that coming up.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around, and then
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: I found Schulte Roofing.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: And boy, I'm glad I did.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: The folks at Schulte guided me every step of the way.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: They showed me my options. They told me what my
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: out-of-pocket cost would be after insurance. They took the complication
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They took off
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: the damaged roof, put on the.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: New roof, did all the cleanup, and I had my
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: new roof in one day.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Schulte Roofing, the home of the bulletproof roof.

• 14:10
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of moisture in the Gulf heading towards

• 14:24
  Speaker 1: of my buddy whose motorcycle was covered in love bugs.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about it. Yeah, well, we didn't talk
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: about this on the radio, but you have a theory that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the old-timers, when I was with Texas Task Force One,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the old-timers there would tell you that the love bugs
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in an area indicated that that area was going to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: be impacted by some sort of tropical weather.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Called a harbinger, right?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Right, right, exactly.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: It's like, you see the love bugs, you know, coming later, or.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: One of these guys. It's not a hurricane.
• 14:52
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: No, it's not going to be a hurricane.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be a hurricane. But when I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: saw that picture, I was like, well, this one's not
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: going to work because what did we have at that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: point in time? We had the beginnings of Dolly.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Dolly way out.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And I was like, this is not going to hit
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: during that time frame.
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe the bugs are wrong. The bugs were not wrong
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: because here comes Eduardo. Not named yet, but it's going
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Well, we're going to see because I– you know, I'm hopeful.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: The weather, as far as the forecast goes, last night,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I would have said it looked pretty hopeful, but I
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: look for these little wrinkles, like the temperatures, the high
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: temperatures associated with it. If you're going to get a
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: direct hit, it usually goes down to like 90, 89,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: and it was like 90 last night, but now they're
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: forecasting Tuesday, 96, Wednesday, 93, Thursday, 94, Friday, which is like,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: but it's also not dry side, which would make it hotter,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: so I don't really know where this is going. They've
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: put us on this forecast, at a 40% chance of
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: rain starting tomorrow and then ending on Friday. Basically, just
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: a flat 40% chance. It was at the 60s last night.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: None of the meteorologists in Houston who can pontificate were
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: awake when I got up to deal with the 1 a.m. data,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: so I'm sure you'll start to see all of the
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: The Travis Herzogs and.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: The Space City Weathers. Yeah, both of them I checked
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: this morning.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: I don't read Travis for hurricanes.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Do you not?
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I do not.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I take him into consideration.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: He is too jumpy during a hurricane. A little bit.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Too jumpy.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: But the eye wall, the Space City Weather, both of those.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Space City Weather is phenomenal. So we will be watching that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: They tend to concur on this one right now.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: And the best part about this is, well, they're keeping
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: a 30% chance on Saturday for what it's worth. I
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: was thinking we were going to be free and clear
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: of that for game day, but whatever.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Who cares?
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: We need the rain.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I'll take five straight days of it. No problem. But yeah,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: so we'll keep watching that throughout the weekend. It's still early,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: but I usually like to see that cone. a little
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: bit further south, like to be east of us or
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: west of us.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: So we get that rain.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Time to hook east.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Not that dry side.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Because I, for all I know, it's going to be
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: a Beaumont problem, and that just makes me sad. They
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: ain't got no problems like we got them. Like, they're
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: still green. We're crispy.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: We're bad crispy.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: You know, need a little help. Weather brought to you
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: by Ballack Service Company and the Texas Heat. Your air
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: conditioner works overtime. Well-tuned AC will save you money and
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: keep you comfortable. Turn to the experts at Malik and
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Carrie to keep your AC running properly. Malik, feel the difference.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: And off we go with reasons to celebrate for today.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: I guess I should take a second and check back
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: in with the text messages because, Will, I saw a
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: big bike at Cooper Mart a few days ago just
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: covered with love bugs. He had traveled the country and
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: only hit them just east of town.
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: And that's from Jay. So, again, adding some fuel to
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: the fire. Let's get started. Not a ton on the
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: national day today. It's Eat Outside Day, which there's a
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: lot of patios you can go to. Still haven't tried hobbies.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: And I need to. That might be a way to
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: check in on that. Or you just, you know, get
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: outside and eat your lunch on a bench or something
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: like that. I would say save that for October.
• 18:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: But, hey, do whatever you want. Love Litigating Lawyers Day.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: It's a day to salute trial lawyers and litigators, specifically
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: the ones that get up in front of the jury
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: and do their thing. It's all different kinds of lawyers.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: There are.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Trial lawyers are my kind of thing.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I was with a lawyer on Friday evening at the game,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and we were visiting. He's a friend, right? A listener
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: of the show. And I was asking him about what
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: kind of law he practices, right? Because I really didn't know.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: And he's like, I stay away. If you see me
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: in a courtroom... It's because I have to be there.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: He dodges the... He's not a courtroom litigator.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Many lawyers are that way. It's like that is the
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: option of last resort. They hate doing it. They're going
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: to try to get out of it at any opportunity
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: up to that point. And then there's some of them
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: that just.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: They live for it.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: They'll just, please get me in front of a jury.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Also today, Motorist Consideration Monday. This is basically just a
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: day where you are pleaded with to... Just take five
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: minutes to be less of a jerk on the road. However,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: that manifests itself. Just five minutes of your drive. Try
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: to be a little less horrible when you are on
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: the road.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: If your commute is 15 minutes, you've still got 10
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: to be a jerk.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Trail Mix Day, a day to salute one of the
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: greatest foods ever. Well, for the hiking crowd. Trail Mix
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: does nothing for me.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I like some of them.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: It's like kibble.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Like the sweet and salty or the sweet and sassy
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: mix from H-E-B. I like that a lot.
• 19:49
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: That's what we got. What do you have on birthdays? Birthdays.

  Speaker 3: I remember L. Fitz making a trip. He scorched us. Yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: he was a.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Freak.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Terrifying. I didn't get to see a lot of his games.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: The pros play West Coast. You don't usually see a
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: lot of Arizona games when you're living in Texas. But, yeah,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: in college, that was a.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Beast.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Maybe one of the most talented individuals I've ever seen.

  Speaker 3: Love that.
• 20:40

  Speaker 3: There was a rumor at one point that they might

  Speaker 1: I will never forget when I was working rock radio
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: and Little Rock and the Scorpions would come through basically annually.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And Rudolph Shanker would get on stage and every single
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: time he came through, the first thing he'd grab the mic,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Little Rock sounds like ladder rock to me. In a

• 23:10
  Speaker 13: Hello, Brazos Valley. This is Brandon Eisman with Dean &
• 23:13
  Speaker 13: Draper Insurance. I don't know about you, but it seems
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: to me that inflation has really taken a bite out
• 23:19
  Speaker 13: of our lives over the last couple of years. It
• 23:21
  Speaker 13: feels like everything has increased, from groceries to vehicles and
• 23:25
  Speaker 13: from property taxes to, yes, insurance. And speaking of insurance,
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: the cost of home and auto insurance has risen more
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: in the last two years than I've witnessed in my career.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: And it's absolutely impacting our budgets.
• 23:38
  Speaker 13: It can be very frustrating. At Dean and Draper Insurance,
• 23:41
  Speaker 13: we can't promise to solve the inflation problem, but we
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: can shop several high-quality insurance companies to provide you with
• 23:47
  Speaker 13: a competitive solution tailored to your specific needs. So if

• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Two quick questions.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Would you describe your current wireless service as five-star? Are
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: you paying more than $ 34. 99 a month for unlimited data?
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: I only ask because in a recent industry survey of 120,000
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: wireless customers, PureTalk was the only wireless company out there
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: to receive five stars in every category, coverage, support, value,
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: and data. And now for just a few more weeks,
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: PureTalk's offering unlimited data for just $ 15 a month, for
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: your first three months. After that, you'll get unlimited data
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: for as low as $ 34. 99 a month with no contract
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: and no commitment. Just dial pound 250, say micro, and
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: Pure Talk's five-star U.S. customer service team will switch you
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: in minutes. And at just $ 15 a month for your
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: first three months, there really is no better time to
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: switch to Pure Talk than right now. Dial pound 250,
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: say micro, and switch to a five-star American wireless company.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: One more for you guys in the back on 1620, 94.5 WTAW.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: We are watching the Gulf of Mexico this week and
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: praying the Gulf does its job, gives us an Eduardo.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: We'll see. We'll see. We expect an Eduardo. The question
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: is how much are we going to get wind? Yeah,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: somewhere around half an inch is what I was seeing forecast.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, our area, the last forecast I saw this morning
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: was an inch. Oh, and so we went up.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I'll take an inch. I'd honestly need more than that. But,
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: you know, beggars can't be choosers. Houston talking about five,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: you know, three to five inches at the last check.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: But we're going to be looking at pretty much solid
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: 40 percent chance of rain every day. from Tuesday all
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: the way through game day on Saturday. So just plan
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: to keep an eye on that. And again, when we
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: find some stuff about the track, which is what we
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: all watch when one of these things happens, like when
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: you bowl, and you're just kind of like.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Come on, man, come on.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: You're waving at it, trying to motion it fair. Yeah,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: that's the situation we're in weather-wise today. And it's brought
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: to you by our friends at United Roofing and Sheet Metal,

  Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW Newsroom. I'm Will Welch. College
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Station Police made a major drug bust during a traffic
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: stop Saturday. Officers making a traffic stop in the 500
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: block of University Drive East just before 1.30 Saturday morning
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: were suspicious when the driver was overly nervous. After dispatch
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: confirmed previous arrest for distributable amounts of narcotics, they asked
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: 27-year-old Brian Roman of Bryan for consent to search his vehicle.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Roman denied their request, so a canine was brought in
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: that alerted from outside his vehicle. A probable cause search

  Speaker 1: charges later on.
• 32:55
  Speaker 16: After the investigation plays out, those charges will be reviewed

  Speaker 16: appropriate in this case.
• 33:02

  Speaker 3: 1620-945-WTAW. Just spending some time on the text line at 979-695-1620.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Reliving some of your victories over the weekend. Like this
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: person who says, On Friday I had 0.97 inches of
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: rainfall in the Blackjack community east of Hearn.
• 35:20
  Speaker 13: God.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Lucky.
• 35:21
  Speaker 18: This is the.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Friday afternoon. Friday we left the show, and we were
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: both saying, It's.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Not going to happen. Yeah, I downplayed it.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, look outside, and it's dark.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: About the time we were headed to Cedar Park, it
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: started raining all over the place.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: It was starting to get excited, and my God, was
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: there ever a better example of the Aggie Dome?
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: You sent me the radar picture. It's just ridiculous.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Another text message. this person says they got one and
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: a half inches out in Rambarone's Prairie. That's, again, that's great.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: A lot of y'all did. To the north, to the south,
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: to the east, to the west, we got nothing. And
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: then all that stuff that kind of just disappeared when
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: it crossed over Bryan College Station, it came back together,
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: was the rain that troubled you for a bit for
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: a lightning delay, and then They absolutely just curb stomped
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: the city of San Antonio with like 70 or 80
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: mile an hour winds, knocked out power. A couple of
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: friends down there still don't have power. If you want
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: to see some wild videos, Friday night in San Antonio
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: was some of the wildest weather videos I have seen
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: out of South Texas.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: In a long time. Like, it looked like a hurricane
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: coming through. And what did we get here? That's it.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Got nothing.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Diddly squad.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Now, what will we get this week? Will it be nothing?
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I hope not. I hope not.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: We don't want the wind.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Because the Gulf is doing its job.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: But we need to take that moisture.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we need a pipeline of just, you know, those
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: pop-up showers that happen every afternoon because the Gulf has
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: just said, all right, let's go.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Can we have a referendum and vote down the Aggiedome?
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Well, first thing, Will, if you're talking about the Aggie Dome,
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: the first thing is to convince half of the population
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: that the Aggie Dome actually exists.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I don't care if you believe or not.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: I've seen it. It exists! What do you want me
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: to say? Do I understand it? Can I articulate why
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: the Aggie Dome is a thing? Absolutely not. I'm not
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: a scientist. I'm not a meteorologist.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: But it exists. It confuses scientists and meteorologists because they
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: can't figure out why.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Like you'll talk to a meteorologist like, well, no,
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: it's not possible. Here's this, that, that.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: It happens.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: But yet you were telling me to not believe my eyes.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: And I've lived here a long time, and it has
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: always been a problem for the cities of Bryan and
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: the city of College State. Not for Navasota, not for Hearn,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: not for Caldwell, not for Huntsville, but right here, it's real. Now, yeah,
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: once you get over that hurdle, you know, then we
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: can start to figure out how to solve this thing,
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: which I would turn to the big school, Shirley. Surely
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: there's some money in it.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: With all the government grants that are out there to
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: count cow farts or whatever else, surely we can get
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: an Aggie Dome grant.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Just someone write a dissertation on the Aggie Dome. Just
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: start working on it. You will be paid. Text message
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: again at 979-695-1620. And you can send these in any time.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: We'll read these all day long. It's in reference to
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: the news story that you.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Were reading earlier. About the guy busted on University Avenue.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: That dude was operating a mobile pharmacy with everything he
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: was arrested with.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: It was a staggering variety.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: I would encourage you, go to our Facebook page. Just
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: search News Talk WTL.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Or on our website.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the picture's probably on the website, too. The picture
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: for this... is one of the best bust pictures I
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: have ever seen in my life.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: It looks like the Luby's cafeteria line of drugs.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I was amazed because of the retail nature of it.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: Because you have all of the usual little.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: The things you can buy in Colorado and New Mexico
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: and then a ton of what is clearly packaged marijuana
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: for sale that probably came out of one of those states,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: I guess. I don't know. And then all of... the
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: other drugs but the but the best part about this
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: story is when i saw it over the weekend is
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: the idea if you missed this by the way they
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: pulled them over on like university drive with i mean
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: I cannot describe this as anything other than a car
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: full of drugs. I don't know what vehicle he was driving.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: A car full of drugs. And again, you will need
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: to go look at the six and a half foot
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: table that is piled three feet high with every kind
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: of drug you've ever seen in your life. Like literally,
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: the Walmart of drugs in this guy's car.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not his first rodeo.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: They pull him over. A traffic stop. Pull him over.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: And then they walk up to him and he's nervous. Imagine,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: imagine being an 18 year old kid, an 18 year
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: old kid in a car full of drugs and you
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: roll down the window, which the smell in that thing
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: could only have been described as a whole burning man
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: and probably a Woodstock 94 thrown in for good measure.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: And the first thing you see, Is this smiling face.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: That dog.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: And I point to a monitor for Will with the
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: canine who was the goodest boy. If you go and look,
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: zoom in on that dog's face.
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: He's happy.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: He is so proud.
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he is.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: He is just, he's like, he done good.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: What do y'all do? Where are my officer friends that
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: have worked canines? You know canines, probably.
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: What do you do when they do a bust like that?
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: What did they get? The same thing that they get
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: every time that they work. Stop it.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: You don't take them to McDonald's for a double cheeseburger.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that there's some additional treats.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: You've got to have something.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: But those dogs, and I speak specifically about the search
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: and rescue canines. I'm assuming that it's the same for
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: the drug interdiction canines. They all believe that they... They
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: do their job. I'm going to get to play with
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: my toy.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: Play with the toy, yeah.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: They all have this toy drive. They obviously give him
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: the toy. Oh, absolutely.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: That's part of their routine.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a little extra Alpo in the bowl
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: at night.
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: Alpo?
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: He just took a million dollars of drugs off the streets.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, there's a little extra Wagyu.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Take him to the Republic. Take him to the Republic
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: and get him a plate like a good boy and
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: let the entire restaurant give him some thanks.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: With that load and with his history... And the fact
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: that ICE has him on a retainer.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: He's on an ICE retainer.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I think there's probably cartel involvement someplace.
• 42:08
  Speaker 12: It is.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: And honestly, a quick shout out to, I don't know
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: what you guys are doing. I don't know what's going
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: on with y'all in the law enforcement community in the
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: area in the past couple of months, but there have
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: been some, I don't know if y'all found someone who's
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: willing to work with you or whatever, you know what
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: I'm saying?
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Y'all have had some.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: While.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: There's been some great ones. I mean, some really, really here's,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: here's a tip for you. If you're transporting drugs, okay.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: If you're transporting drugs, that.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Was a long drive.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: The last mile home.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Don't drive down university drive on the weekend at one
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: 30 in the morning. I mean, the chances of you
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: getting pulled over a good, the chances of the cops
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: being suspicious. Yeah. You're out at one 30 in the
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: morning on in a college town. Use a little common sense, dealers. Well,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: we love to see the results. Yes, we do.

  Speaker 7: some grasses that do very little more than simply look good.
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: In Texas, we've been blessed with several outstanding species that

  Speaker 7: demand our attention. Most are at their prime in the fall,

  Speaker 7: Pappas grass is the most common ornamental grass in Texas.
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: It's been that way for decades. It's a large clumping
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: plant with showy white plumes from late summer on. It's
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: been a popular southern plant for many decades, but it
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: still isn't reliably winter hardy in the northern parts of Texas.
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: It may make it through a few winters only to
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: be dashed to the ground in an extended but not
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: too abnormal cold spell. You see, it's evergreen, and if
• 45:40
  Speaker 7: you get really cold weather down into single digits and
• 45:43
  Speaker 7: below zero as it can be in the panhandle, Pampas
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: grass isn't going to do well. Maiden grass is a
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: far better alternative. It has a finer bladed leaf, but
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: the plants grow almost as tall as pampas grass. However,
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: maiden grass is reliably winter hardy, clear to the Canadian border,
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: so it has no winter troubles in Texas. Now it
• 46:02
  Speaker 7: dies to the ground with a first hard freeze and
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: you will get seedlings.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: That's a big negative. You will get seedlings.
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: But many people like the appearance of the bright brown
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: foliage and they leave it in place in the winter
• 46:12
  Speaker 7: and they're willing to put up with those seedlings. Variegated
• 46:16
  Speaker 7: Japanese Silvergrass is another great choice, another Miscanthus. It's slower
• 46:21
  Speaker 7: and lower growing than Maidengrass. It also has a tendency
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: to sprawl open, but it's still very pretty. Variegated Japanese
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: Silvergrass and Zebragrass is a third relative.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Its leaves are.
• 46:32
  Speaker 7: Much wider, often almost an inch across, and each leaf
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: is cross-banded across the leaf with showy yellow stripes, hence
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: the name. Dwarf fountain grass is really popular, and of
• 46:44
  Speaker 7: course purple fountain grass. That's one we use as an
• 46:47
  Speaker 7: annual in Texas landscaping. Three of the most popular of
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: the ornamental grasses, and I'll start with Lindheimer's mealy. It
• 46:53
  Speaker 7: may be my favorite of all. It gets about waist high,
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: and the plumes are not especially showy. It's more the
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: drama of how they're placed. The leaves are rather thin
• 47:03
  Speaker 7: and rather wiry looking, but just as a package, Lindheimer's
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: mealy makes a beautiful statement in a landscape. Of course,
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: Mexican feather grass is everywhere in Texas landscaping now, and
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: I like it too. I'm with everybody else, except I
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: don't like the way it's brown all winter long. And finally,
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: Gulf Muley, beautiful plant with pink plumes in the fall. Oh,
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: the ornamental grasses, they are nice. I'm Neal Sperry. I'll
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: have basics of Texas gardening in our next Plant Talk Texas.
• 47:32

• 49:03
  Speaker 21: Aggie volleyball team opened up the Texas A & M
• 49:06
  Speaker 21: Invitational with a 3-1 win over GCU Friday morning at
• 49:10
  Speaker 21: Reed Arena. Head coach Jamie Morrison shared thoughts on the
• 49:14
  Speaker 21: Aggies' performance.
• 49:15
  Speaker 11: Talked about the way that we compete, the way we
• 49:16
  Speaker 11: have to come into these matches, and the expectation is
• 49:18
  Speaker 11: that we're trying to take something from our opponent. and
• 49:20
  Speaker 11: i thought we did a really really good job of
• 49:22
  Speaker 11: that for the first 10 to 15 points pretty much
• 49:24
  Speaker 11: every single set so i think i was really pleased
• 49:27
  Speaker 11: with that the way we came out the way we
• 49:28
  Speaker 11: served aggressively we got after the right people and i
• 49:30
  Speaker 11: thought it put them in a little bit of chaos
• 49:32
  Speaker 11: and disarray and then we took advantage.
• 49:34
  Speaker 21: Of it The team also swept Arkansas State 3-0 on
• 49:37
  Speaker 21: the program's 2025 Banner Drop Celebration game Friday evening at
• 49:42
  Speaker 21: Reed Arena. Coach Morrison talked about the atmosphere of the
• 49:45
  Speaker 21: game and recapped the match.
• 49:47
  Speaker 11: First of all, and I'm going to use the word we,
• 49:50
  Speaker 11: but look what we built. I would say I'm not
• 49:52
  Speaker 11: going to throw the people in this room.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: It's everything.
• 49:53
  Speaker 11: It's a really cool, rocking atmosphere that's fun to be
• 49:55
  Speaker 11: a part of. And I think it fires up our girls.
• 49:58
  Speaker 11: I think the student section got me a challenge overturned
• 50:01
  Speaker 11: that I wasn't necessarily going to go with, but they told.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Me it was in.
• 50:03
  Speaker 11: So I was like, all right, we'll go with it.
• 50:04
  Speaker 11: And it's a cool rocking atmosphere and it's fun. And
• 50:08
  Speaker 11: I think it's an amazing thing. And I think our
• 50:10
  Speaker 11: girls played along with that a little bit. So again,
• 50:12
  Speaker 11: when I say all of this is intertwined, it helps recruiting.
• 50:16
  Speaker 11: It helps bring people in. It helps the way that
• 50:17
  Speaker 11: we play right now. And we get to enjoy it.
• 50:19
  Speaker 11: So I just wanted to say thank you to the
• 50:21
  Speaker 11: 12th man. I talked in the last press conference about
• 50:23
  Speaker 11: what I wanted to see, and I thought I saw that.
• 50:25
  Speaker 11: I thought we were playing with joy. I thought we
• 50:26
  Speaker 11: were playing a little bit more ferocious than we were
• 50:28
  Speaker 11: this morning and I thought we stayed aggressive throughout and
• 50:30
  Speaker 11: I'm proud of them for the response that they had.
• 50:33
  Speaker 21: On Saturday evening, the Aggies played their third and final
• 50:36
  Speaker 21: game of the Invitational where they swept Cal Poly 3-0
• 50:40
  Speaker 21: behind a dominant offensive showing spearheaded by Natalie Ring's 15 kills.
• 50:45
  Speaker 21: Coach Morrison spoke about the team's performance throughout the weekend.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Proud of our girls.
• 50:50
  Speaker 11: I think we got better with every single match and
• 50:51
  Speaker 11: We had to cram a lot of matches in just
• 50:53
  Speaker 11: with the way the preseason works and our RPI reasons.
• 50:56
  Speaker 11: But I think the best thing for this group is
• 50:57
  Speaker 11: to play as much live volleyball as humanly possible. Just
• 51:00
  Speaker 11: every time we step on the floor, I'm seeing growth
• 51:01
  Speaker 11: in different people in the entire group.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm proud of the way we played.
• 51:05
  Speaker 11: I think we out-offensed a really good offensive team. which
• 51:09
  Speaker 11: is hard to do. And Cal Poly is a really
• 51:11
  Speaker 11: good volleyball team. And I know they don't have a
• 51:13
  Speaker 11: number next to their name in a ranking. They probably
• 51:15
  Speaker 11: should based on the preseason rankings and what they did
• 51:17
  Speaker 11: last season and the amount of talent that they brought back.
• 51:19
  Speaker 11: So I'm really happy we were able to sustain. I
• 51:21
  Speaker 11: talked to our team. I knew we would get pushed
• 51:23
  Speaker 11: by them. And I talked about the response that we
• 51:25
  Speaker 11: would have. And I think you saw that in the
• 51:27
  Speaker 11: first set when all of a sudden they tied it
• 51:28
  Speaker 11: up late and we responded. I think you saw that
• 51:30
  Speaker 11: in the third set when we were down and we responded.
• 51:33
  Speaker 11: So I'm just really proud of the growth that we've
• 51:35
  Speaker 11: had in that area over these three matches.
• 51:37
  Speaker 21: Up next, the Aggies head to West Lafayette, Indiana for
• 51:40
  Speaker 21: the Big Ten and SEC Volleyball Challenge Week, where they
• 51:44
  Speaker 21: will face No. 9 Purdue on September 1st, followed by No.
• 51:48
  Speaker 21: 16 Indiana on September 2nd. In the MLB last night,
• 51:53
  Speaker 21: the Texas Rangers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-4. Rangers manager
• 51:57
  Speaker 21: Skip Schumacher recapped the game.
• 51:59
  Speaker 22: I mean, it was a tough first inning, you know,
• 52:01
  Speaker 22: them getting two runs against Rocker and then just some
• 52:04
  Speaker 22: long innings after that and Went right to the bullpen.
• 52:07
  Speaker 22: Alexander was fantastic. Kind of kept him at two runs.
• 52:10
  Speaker 22: And then our offense came back. And it's going to take,
• 52:12
  Speaker 22: you know, we've talked about offensive identity and, you know,
• 52:15
  Speaker 22: what that means. And it's going to take some heart
• 52:17
  Speaker 22: and guts to fight back and to start getting more wins.
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: And that's exactly what happened today.
• 52:22
  Speaker 22: These guys are working hard to get it right, and
• 52:24
  Speaker 22: it was a really good offensive performance. So really good
• 52:27
  Speaker 22: job with the bullpen and obviously the offense coming alive.
• 52:30
  Speaker 21: The Houston Astros also won their game last night against
• 52:33
  Speaker 21: the New York Mets, beating the Mets 6-3. That's your
