Speaker 1: was better than him, even though you just retired recently.
1:39
Speaker 1: But hey, glad to be on the air, and you
1:42
Speaker 1: could be on the air as well. Like I said,
1:45
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a little couple of things here. We
1:47
Speaker 1: did get some email Texas if you want to Texas
1:50
Speaker 1: sixty nine three eleven fifty pound eleven fifty or whatever,
1:54
Speaker 1: sick notes nine nine nine three eleven fifty. That's you
1:57
Speaker 1: want to text that. If you want to call, you
1:58
Speaker 1: could call that same number. Chris Riley's falling asleep out
2:03
Speaker 1: there and standon, man who is trying to learn. You
2:06
Speaker 1: got to learn. Wake up the girl that's taken the
2:09
Speaker 1: calls in case they fall asleep. And then we got
2:12
Speaker 1: Religious Caleb on the board with us and read we
2:17
Speaker 1: did get a text.
2:19
Speaker 8: Yeah, so Chris in Somerville says what's up cease? I'm
2:23
Speaker 8: Brian High class of ninety three. What happened to Brian
2:25
Speaker 8: High athletics?
2:28
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for listening, Chris, and congratulations on being class
2:32
Speaker 1: of ninety three. Wow, you're you're getting up there as well.
2:35
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're well established there in Somerls. That's a
2:38
Speaker 1: good deal. Like a lot of things, the landscape changes
2:42
Speaker 1: when you look at Rudder coming in. Eventually A and
2:47
Speaker 1: M has been mean, A and M s. It's so
2:48
Speaker 1: tough to fight stupid habits. Brian is basically what I
2:53
Speaker 1: feel the last decade or so fighting the numbers. You know,
2:56
Speaker 1: you've got to go ahead and the numbers have to
2:59
Speaker 1: be in your favor, and the numbers haven't been in
3:02
Speaker 1: and they don't have enough athletes, So you look at
3:04
Speaker 1: numbers don't work for you, you don't have enough athletes. You
3:08
Speaker 1: think about how good they were in softball for decades.
3:12
Speaker 1: And I went out and covered I want to say,
3:15
Speaker 1: a season opener last year and they played Rudder and
3:17
Speaker 1: it was it was bad softball, it was. And you know,
3:21
Speaker 1: you look at football zero to ten. I my wife
3:25
Speaker 1: can attest to this. I love I love high school football.
3:30
Speaker 1: Nothing to me is better than going out and see
3:34
Speaker 1: a high school football playoff game between two towns or
3:39
Speaker 1: two communities, because we have so much spread anymore, where
3:43
Speaker 1: they love their pride and the two communities gone at it.
3:49
Speaker 9: Uh.
3:49
Speaker 1: You know, if you give me example, you can go
3:51
Speaker 1: to West Texas, you can go a lot of places.
3:53
Speaker 1: You can go in Houston. I don't care they're they're there,
3:55
Speaker 1: those are that's just great football. What's happened is I
3:59
Speaker 1: always my wife, I never want to see a team
4:02
Speaker 1: go oh and ten. It has to be one of
4:04
Speaker 1: the worst things in the world because I'm old enough
4:08
Speaker 1: now when you've got I don't care what level of
4:12
Speaker 1: football you're in. It takes a lot of players to
4:14
Speaker 1: make a team. And that's a lot of Friday nights
4:18
Speaker 1: when you go home and if your parents weren't able
4:20
Speaker 1: to go to the game because they're working or whatever,
4:23
Speaker 1: or that night or later that day, that I'd probably
4:25
Speaker 1: be at the game. The parents lose with you, and
4:29
Speaker 1: they try to say you did the best you could, son,
4:32
Speaker 1: But when you've got an zero to ten to deal with,
4:36
Speaker 1: I sympathize with all those players in their family because
4:40
Speaker 1: there's so much you could do to get in trouble
4:42
Speaker 1: and be a jerk and do you're out there football?
4:46
Speaker 1: I never played football, and uh, football to me is
4:49
Speaker 1: one of the ultimate team players. When I get to
4:51
Speaker 1: know the coaches, when I get to know the players,
4:54
Speaker 1: you need. If you're in three eight and you got
4:58
Speaker 1: forty eight players, some of those players in the forties,
5:02
Speaker 1: better contribute that year. You're not going to be good.
5:05
Speaker 1: You gotta have everybody step up. Why College Station come
5:09
Speaker 1: in and win because they got My son was on
5:12
Speaker 1: College Station because because of because of number one to
5:18
Speaker 1: number forty, they all contributed to consolidated whise. I can remember, Chris,
5:23
Speaker 1: thanks for the text, but I can remember when Console
5:27
Speaker 1: was called conslopidated.
5:29
Speaker 6: So my dad was in high school and when.
5:31
Speaker 1: I first got here, you couldn't meet better people than
5:38
Speaker 1: Jack Churchill, James Geezy, the track coach, you know, Drew Blanks,
5:48
Speaker 1: I get old. But the longtime girls basketball coach, Sue Kennedy, Uh,
5:55
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just Sue that sort of but great coaches.
5:58
Speaker 1: But they didn't have enough fleets. And they did. They
6:01
Speaker 1: come on, they Keip Corey. They had some good athletes,
6:03
Speaker 1: but they didn't have enough Bob Casky whatever, conslopidated, and
6:09
Speaker 1: but then Ross Rogers came along. They got the numbers.
6:12
Speaker 1: They were the best in the state and for a
6:14
Speaker 1: one of the best. Brian and Curtis Dickey in the seventies.
6:18
Speaker 1: Whatever you think about the Gerald Carter uh the they
6:21
Speaker 1: won two state championships in basketball. You're not gonna win
6:24
Speaker 1: without talent coaching. In softball, I mean, I mean in
6:28
Speaker 1: uh high school, you gotta have numbers. And suddenly you're
6:31
Speaker 1: you're getting these new communities starting like College Station and
6:36
Speaker 1: what do you see a great rivalry college Station and consolidate.
6:39
Speaker 1: I hate, I hate the towns are split, but that's
6:42
Speaker 1: the way life goes now. And Console gets something, college
6:45
Speaker 1: Station gets something, Console wins, College Station wants to win.
6:49
Speaker 1: That's what it's about. Brian and Rutter. I feel for them.
6:52
Speaker 1: They don't have the numbers, they don't have enough athletes,
6:54
Speaker 1: and how do you do that? How do you get that? Well,
6:57
Speaker 1: you gotta have it, got a start at the top.
6:59
Speaker 1: What do you got to do? And I don't care
7:02
Speaker 1: what you do? Why is A? Why is A? And
7:05
Speaker 1: m went under Mike Calco and they don't win under
7:06
Speaker 1: Jimbo Fisher, not with the way they did. It's it's
7:09
Speaker 1: a lot of things. And if everybody could win, they
7:12
Speaker 1: would they can't.
7:14
Speaker 6: Well, And you know, I was in school at a
7:17
Speaker 6: time when all four locals were in the same district
7:21
Speaker 6: and that was the best of the best. You had it.
7:25
Speaker 6: You had it pretty made. All three of the four
7:28
Speaker 6: were very competitive, split district championships two years in a row.
7:33
Speaker 6: And you know, one of the one of the best
7:37
Speaker 6: players at that time was Brian running back Keikey Johnson.
7:40
Speaker 6: He was he was a man among boys. You did
7:44
Speaker 6: not want to meet him in the hole. Uh. And
7:48
Speaker 6: you know, my buddy Andrew, he'll still mention to this day, Hey,
7:52
Speaker 6: what was my record? What was Brian's record against you?
7:55
Speaker 6: By the way, you know, those are the things that matter,
7:59
Speaker 6: right right, and so you know it's tough and and
8:05
Speaker 6: what was tough too was you know, Brian's enrollment went down.
8:09
Speaker 6: And the crummy part though, was that the UIL cutoff
8:14
Speaker 6: went down even further. Had Brian turned in the enrollment
8:18
Speaker 6: they did this cycle for the realignment, they would have
8:20
Speaker 6: been in five A Division one, they would have been
8:22
Speaker 6: in the same district as and of consolidated college station
8:26
Speaker 6: and that that would have been a lot of fun.
8:28
Speaker 6: That would have been a lot of fun. But you know,
8:31
Speaker 6: that's a that's an onion that has a lot of
8:33
Speaker 6: layers to it. But the fact of the matter is
8:36
Speaker 6: that Brian's one of the smallest six A schools and
8:42
Speaker 6: it's hard to compete. And you know it's tough too
8:44
Speaker 6: because you look at that twelve six A. Okay, you
8:48
Speaker 6: make the playoffs, well, congratulations, you get to go play Duncanville. Right.
8:53
Speaker 6: I can remember the last time Brian played in the
8:55
Speaker 6: playoff game. They went and played Duncanville and it was
8:58
Speaker 6: not very pretty. And so it's tough, and you talk
9:03
Speaker 6: about numbers, it is numbers. And then it's unfortunate because
9:08
Speaker 6: Brian has had a storied history. And the good thing
9:11
Speaker 6: is there's always hope of next year. And what do
9:15
Speaker 6: we got tomorrow? Ces We got our High School Football
9:18
Speaker 6: Media Day, twelfth annual and Brian High once again their
9:22
Speaker 6: gracious hosts at the field house and Blake Joseph and alumnus.
9:27
Speaker 6: It's his first year as head coach, and I think
9:29
Speaker 6: we're all curious to see what the Vikings have in
9:31
Speaker 6: store this year.
9:32
Speaker 1: Hope spring's eternal, because you know, where is the turning
9:37
Speaker 1: point and the beauty of our high school media day
9:42
Speaker 1: is Bremont comes in Rockdale, comes in Madisonville, Novasota. And
9:47
Speaker 1: over the years, we've seen Bremont have a three state
9:52
Speaker 1: state championships. We've seen Franklin win state championships. That one
9:58
Speaker 1: year we had three T teams playing in state championships, Cameron,
10:04
Speaker 1: Ramon and Franklin that one year. But Rockdale's also one state.
10:10
Speaker 1: But it can be done. But like I said, is
10:14
Speaker 1: you could say why hasn't Caldwell won recently? You could
10:17
Speaker 1: say why hasn't you know, it's tough. It's tough because
10:21
Speaker 1: you got to get everybody and on the same page.
10:24
Speaker 1: You got to have the community. What does the community want?
10:28
Speaker 1: Because I know Blake Josephs, but I hear he's out
10:32
Speaker 1: trying to get athletes, He's trying to get got kids
10:34
Speaker 1: out of the out of the classroom. Because here's the deal, gang,
10:39
Speaker 1: you want to go out and I make jokes of
10:41
Speaker 1: one hundred degree temperatures, You want to go out and
10:43
Speaker 1: practice for a team that was zero to ten last year?
10:46
Speaker 1: Or maybe you want to go ahead, hang out or
10:49
Speaker 1: just stay at the house, get on the internet, Facebook,
10:52
Speaker 1: what have you. Once again, I admire the people out
10:55
Speaker 1: there sweating to try to make a team to win.
11:00
Speaker 1: And that's and Chris, obviously you were part of a
11:04
Speaker 1: time when they won. Like I said, Brian won a
11:06
Speaker 1: couple state championships back to back with basketball with Keller,
11:11
Speaker 1: and you think of Bernstein and all that crew they had,
11:15
Speaker 1: and they had all those good football teams, they weren't
11:18
Speaker 1: able quite to put it together. And you think when
11:20
Speaker 1: Ross Rogers came in and like Alex said, they had
11:23
Speaker 1: the great back to back years with Johnson and others.
11:27
Speaker 1: You gotta have a great coach, which we've seen a
11:29
Speaker 1: lot of great high school coaches in this area. Oh
11:32
Speaker 1: my gosh when you think of the head ricks and
11:34
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to I'll start leaving people out,
11:38
Speaker 1: but there are so many of them. And I'm a
11:41
Speaker 1: firm believer in high school sports because Nick Saban wouldn't
11:46
Speaker 1: be successful if he didn't have all these prep all
11:49
Speaker 1: Americans that were at some dang good high school programs
11:53
Speaker 1: that produced them and made them men. And they were
11:57
Speaker 1: good boys and then they go to college and make
12:00
Speaker 1: a man. Football is a team sports.
12:03
Speaker 6: Speaking of prep standouts and Brian High I was really
12:07
Speaker 6: sad to hear that Nick Gorton tore his ACL last week.
12:11
Speaker 6: I mean, he he had a pretty solid rookie campaign
12:14
Speaker 6: with the Panthers and by all accounts, it seemed like
12:17
Speaker 6: he was primed for a pretty big season in year
12:20
Speaker 6: two and just first day of practice torn ACL. That
12:25
Speaker 6: just sucks. And in Nick's such a fantastic story. I mean,
12:29
Speaker 6: you talk about guys that we covered him in high school,
12:32
Speaker 6: we talked about Russo earlier. I mean, we can we
12:35
Speaker 6: can go back and think about the time when you know,
12:38
Speaker 6: Nick was kind of this guy that he was being recruited,
12:41
Speaker 6: but like running running back, linebacker, he was kind of
12:45
Speaker 6: all over the place. He signs with Purdue and then
12:48
Speaker 6: all of a sudden he's leading the Big Ten Conference
12:50
Speaker 6: in sacks, and then he comes to A and M.
12:52
Speaker 6: And but you know, good news is Nick's got a
12:56
Speaker 6: lot of football ahead of him, and I'm sure the
13:00
Speaker 6: Panthers are going to make sure that he gets right
13:02
Speaker 6: because he's a talented dude, and so I'm hoping he
13:05
Speaker 6: gets a good recovery.
13:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny you should mention that, because, like you said,
13:08
Speaker 1: we run into our co arts around at media days.
13:12
Speaker 1: And of course some people think I'm older than you,
13:15
Speaker 1: for example, a lot older people. And I was talking
13:17
Speaker 1: to one guy and he asked me about staying at
13:19
Speaker 1: one place that long. He goes, that's going to be
13:22
Speaker 1: pretty nice. I said, well, you know, not only am
13:24
Speaker 1: I covering kids of players, I'm covering now grandchildren of
13:29
Speaker 1: players that I saw. And uh, Nick Gorton is a
13:33
Speaker 1: good example. I wasn't covering high school's full time that time,
13:36
Speaker 1: but his senior year I had to go out to
13:38
Speaker 1: their signing a deal, and I remember talking to him vividly,
13:41
Speaker 1: and Ross says, this is the guy you need to
13:43
Speaker 1: talk to a and m should have should have signed him.
13:46
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna you know right about him, and
13:49
Speaker 1: you know, you know it is as you get older,
13:50
Speaker 1: you get a little skeptical. And h Ross knows what
13:54
Speaker 1: he's talking about. And I'm thinking, well, we'll see if Nick,
13:57
Speaker 1: and at that time his name wasn't Scorton, Nick Carraway.
14:01
Speaker 1: I said, well we'll see, And like you said, he
14:03
Speaker 1: goes up and tears it and he was able to
14:06
Speaker 1: get a great anil deal. He's he made money by
14:08
Speaker 1: going up and proving who he was. And once again,
14:12
Speaker 1: is high school sports, whether it's any sports, softball, whatever,
14:16
Speaker 1: you prove yourself, you're gonna be make some money and
14:21
Speaker 1: make a name for yourself. But it is nice to
14:23
Speaker 1: watch these kids over the years. I did see Rod Bernstein.
14:28
Speaker 1: I always have to laugh people when I first met
14:32
Speaker 1: Kip Corrington and that's maybe that's that's name's too old
14:35
Speaker 1: for you guys. He was a pretty good safety at
14:38
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. But I was playing with my
14:42
Speaker 1: boss at the time, was the sports eder, Joe Kamla,
14:45
Speaker 1: and Kip Corrington was out at the A and M
14:48
Speaker 1: golf course. He was twelve years old and he said,
14:50
Speaker 1: could I play along with you guys? And of course
14:52
Speaker 1: he could beat us at age twelve, and then of
14:54
Speaker 1: course he went on to be such a great athlete.
14:56
Speaker 1: And you just laugh about the beauty of living in
14:59
Speaker 1: assault community and seeing these kids and absolutely absolutely phenomenal. Uh,
15:07
Speaker 1: we need to take a break right now. We're okay,
15:09
Speaker 1: We're okay for talking, aren't we. Yeah, let's talk about
15:12
Speaker 1: the Big ten media days.
15:14
Speaker 6: Uh.
15:14
Speaker 1: Big ten's going on, Alex. I don't know if you
15:16
Speaker 1: noticed this there three days in Chicago. Had to laugh.
15:21
Speaker 1: They're doing six teams a day, so they get it
15:25
Speaker 1: done in three days, as opposed to the SEC doing four,
15:33
Speaker 1: four and four. You know, they got eighteen. I'm thinking,
15:35
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that would that be a beatdown?
15:38
Speaker 10: Or what?
15:39
Speaker 6: Well six and three or four over four? You get
15:45
Speaker 6: to that Thursday at SEC Media Days, and especially I
15:48
Speaker 6: think we were feeling it because A and M went
15:50
Speaker 6: on Wednesday, and so that was that. That's that's showtime,
15:54
Speaker 6: and it's a long week. But the good thing is
15:58
Speaker 6: it's so spread out that you feel like you do
16:01
Speaker 6: have actually you actually have ample time to write and
16:05
Speaker 6: not feel completely rushed and try and get a coherent
16:10
Speaker 6: thought together here and there. The big news today though,
16:16
Speaker 6: is that, look, the SEC and the Big ten, they're
16:20
Speaker 6: in negotiations with lawmakers over the Protect College Sports Act,
16:24
Speaker 6: and you look at some of the national reports, sounds
16:28
Speaker 6: like they've gotten till nine am Wednesday morning to basically
16:32
Speaker 6: give their vote of approval. And so there's a lot
16:36
Speaker 6: at stake with this act, and it's not even guaranteed
16:40
Speaker 6: that it's going to get to the Senate floor for
16:42
Speaker 6: a vote, and even if it does, then it's got
16:45
Speaker 6: a long way to go from there. But you know,
16:48
Speaker 6: this is probably This is probably as far along as
16:52
Speaker 6: something's gotten when it comes to federal legislation and college athletics.
16:56
Speaker 6: And it's something that you know, the the conferences, university officials,
17:02
Speaker 6: they've been they've been up in DC lobbying for this
17:04
Speaker 6: stuff for years. And it's something that anytime you have
17:09
Speaker 6: media days, you got coaches and administrators saying we need,
17:13
Speaker 6: we need, we need these guardrails, we need, we need
17:16
Speaker 6: like federal coverage, and and it just hasn't happened.
17:21
Speaker 1: Right.
17:22
Speaker 6: Uh So I'm really curious to see what comes a
17:25
Speaker 6: bit and uh if this actually gets moving forward, and
17:29
Speaker 6: if it doesn't, then where do they go from here?
17:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, because last thing I was reading last week,
17:36
Speaker 1: all the sources are saying they were betting it wasn't
17:38
Speaker 1: gonna get done. And you're right, the deadline is tomorrow
17:40
Speaker 1: and we don't know.
17:41
Speaker 6: Because on how hard is that deadline?
17:43
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, and we've heard you know, last week I
17:47
Speaker 1: read a lot of reports said that the sources told
17:50
Speaker 1: at ESPN whatever it wasn't gonna happen. But then Sankie said,
17:55
Speaker 1: you know, things can be worked out at the last minute.
17:57
Speaker 1: You know, you never know really what's going on. Uh,
18:00
Speaker 1: but but we know this, it hasn't happened.
18:03
Speaker 6: Something that stood out to me though, with what Sankie
18:06
Speaker 6: said last week. He made it pretty clear in his mind,
18:09
Speaker 6: there's one shot at doing this, and once it gets
18:12
Speaker 6: once this stuff gets codified, it's not like they're going
18:15
Speaker 6: to go back to d C and be able to
18:17
Speaker 6: change all of it. So I think the SEC is
18:20
Speaker 6: only going to give the thumbs up if what's in that,
18:23
Speaker 6: what's in the language of the bill matches up with
18:26
Speaker 6: more or less what they want, because they it's kind
18:31
Speaker 6: of it's kind of the one bullet deal here.
18:34
Speaker 1: I I like that, and I don't like that because
18:37
Speaker 1: can the SEC survive on it. Of course it could.
18:40
Speaker 1: I mean SEC so is powerful when you look at
18:43
Speaker 1: all sports. I mean, oh my gosh, we could just said.
18:46
Speaker 1: I could talk for four hours about how great this
18:49
Speaker 1: conference is. But you need more, you need more people
18:52
Speaker 1: to play, you need you need more sports, you need
18:54
Speaker 1: more things. And I think for them taking their ball
18:58
Speaker 1: and go home in the long run wouldn't be great.
19:01
Speaker 6: See I'm I'm an I'm in the camp of I
19:05
Speaker 6: don't know if the SEC would completely break away. I
19:09
Speaker 6: think it would be maybe a partial breakaway where where
19:14
Speaker 6: the SEC and maybe the Big ten. They they're still
19:18
Speaker 6: part of the n c Double A and they you know,
19:20
Speaker 6: they're still gonna be in the March Madness n CUAA Tournament.
19:23
Speaker 6: They're still gonna compete for the College World Series, go
19:25
Speaker 6: to Oklahoma City, go to Omaha.
19:27
Speaker 4: Uh.
19:28
Speaker 6: But maybe maybe there are guardrails that they can do
19:31
Speaker 6: on their own. If they could do that, if they
19:33
Speaker 6: could do that.
19:33
Speaker 1: They could do that.
19:34
Speaker 6: I don't know how exactly that all shakes out, but
19:39
Speaker 6: I think that maybe that's I don't know, if it's
19:42
Speaker 6: a complete breakaway. I don't know. I just I'm not
19:45
Speaker 6: I'm not fully convinced on that. Could they do it, sure,
19:48
Speaker 6: but I'm not convinced on it. But I haven't really
19:51
Speaker 6: you know, thought through all of it. You don't. You
19:54
Speaker 6: don't want to get the you don't want to go
19:55
Speaker 6: to assume land on things and just start going down
19:58
Speaker 6: rabbit holes thinking what could be.
20:00
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to be. I don't even
20:04
Speaker 1: know what should be. I firmly believe they can't go
20:09
Speaker 1: the path they're on. I think eventually there's going to
20:12
Speaker 1: be problems. When you look at the money, the way
20:15
Speaker 1: it's distributed, the nil deals, the transfer portal. I just
20:21
Speaker 1: don't think they can continue to go this way now.
20:25
Speaker 1: Like I said, that being said is when you look
20:28
Speaker 1: at all the money being thrown around, and I just
20:30
Speaker 1: want to talk to you because I know you're a
20:32
Speaker 1: big guy in the uniforms and all this. Ohio State
20:37
Speaker 1: struck a partnership with JP Morgan Chase Chase Bank logo
20:43
Speaker 1: on all the jerseys of thirty six varsity sports, worth
20:49
Speaker 1: more than fifteen million a year just for a patch.
20:53
Speaker 6: It's pretty good.
20:55
Speaker 1: And of course that's all sports, so everybody gets their
20:58
Speaker 1: hands in it, whether it's water, pistol or whatever ross
21:01
Speaker 1: sports up there. But think about this, that's a lot
21:03
Speaker 1: of money.
21:03
Speaker 6: Think about this. I'd be curious to know the number
21:07
Speaker 6: of Division one schools whose total athletic budget is seventeen
21:13
Speaker 6: million dollars or less. Good point, I bet it's a
21:16
Speaker 6: pretty good percentage. I bet it's a pretty good percentage.
21:19
Speaker 6: And uh look, Ohio State, it's one of the best
21:23
Speaker 6: brands in all of college sports. All right, name name
21:27
Speaker 6: schools that have a bigger and better brand than Ohio State.
21:31
Speaker 6: The list is pretty short.
21:34
Speaker 8: So Notre Dame just also announced the Jersey Patch sponsorship.
21:38
Speaker 8: I saw it was so fine, even more than the
21:40
Speaker 8: Ohio state. It's eighteen to twenty million dollars.
21:43
Speaker 1: They top the highest SAT. Of course, they did well
21:46
Speaker 1: in Notre Dame.
21:46
Speaker 8: It's like I think it was about an hour after.
21:48
Speaker 1: Is that all their sports or.
21:51
Speaker 6: It says Notre Dame athletics so well, and Notre Dame
21:55
Speaker 6: would probably be on the list of that would be
21:57
Speaker 6: on the short list of teams that are schools that
21:59
Speaker 6: I would probably see.
22:00
Speaker 1: Who else USC? What about USC? I don't think so.
22:04
Speaker 1: I don't know.
22:04
Speaker 6: Maybe Texas is probably in the mix. Tax's is probably
22:09
Speaker 6: in the mix. About Oklahoma, I don't know about Oklahoma.
22:13
Speaker 1: I don't either see I'm just out because I don't
22:15
Speaker 1: I don't think I put Oklahoma on there.
22:17
Speaker 6: I would think that Notre Dame in Texas are probably
22:20
Speaker 6: the only two. That's what I would say. That's what
22:23
Speaker 6: I would say, uh alaema, no, okay, no way. My
22:29
Speaker 6: question now is I think it's inevitable that A and
22:33
Speaker 6: M will do this. Eventually, the question becomes who does
22:38
Speaker 6: AM partner with and what's A and M's value? Because
22:41
Speaker 6: A M's probably in the top twenty.
22:44
Speaker 1: They're probably working on some kind of deal.
22:46
Speaker 6: They're probably working on some kind of deal, and they're
22:47
Speaker 6: probably in the top twenty. I don't know if they're
22:49
Speaker 6: top five, top ten.
22:51
Speaker 1: But okay, am I am. I naive, Alex, but I
22:55
Speaker 1: think if someone would work a deal with A and
22:58
Speaker 1: M where A is right now, we just talked about
23:01
Speaker 1: how good volleyball is, women's tennis has done good, men's
23:04
Speaker 1: basketball is improvement, softball's.
23:06
Speaker 6: Good baseball is Typically, wouldn't you get.
23:10
Speaker 1: A steal if you're a company that you could work
23:12
Speaker 1: when we're I'm not saying these kinds of money, but
23:15
Speaker 1: maybe that's why A and M's holding up. But I
23:17
Speaker 1: think if I'm some kind of whatever business and I
23:21
Speaker 1: could tie A and M in, I think A M's
23:23
Speaker 1: going up.
23:23
Speaker 5: Now.
23:24
Speaker 1: I might be wrong, but I think you want to
23:26
Speaker 1: buy low and get more for your buck. I think
23:29
Speaker 1: invested in A and M would be really good.
23:32
Speaker 6: I definitely think it would. And you know, I'm thinking
23:36
Speaker 6: about what are some of the big Texas based companies are.
23:40
Speaker 6: What are companies that are owned by Aggie's that that
23:44
Speaker 6: A and M could be a part of We talked
23:47
Speaker 6: about in the office. Be great to see a Bucky's
23:51
Speaker 6: logo on on the A and M jersey. But I
23:53
Speaker 6: just don't think that's realistic because by all accounts, Beaver Applin,
23:59
Speaker 6: he's done business with A and M, and he's probably
24:02
Speaker 6: had ample opportunity to do things with A and M
24:05
Speaker 6: athletics and maybe forward facing, maybe behind the scenes he has,
24:09
Speaker 6: but it hasn't been necessarily forward facing with athletics. They're
24:12
Speaker 6: building that entrepreneurship building on A and M's campus. But
24:16
Speaker 6: I just I don't I don't think that's gonna be
24:18
Speaker 6: I don't think that's gonna happen. I also don't think
24:21
Speaker 6: something like Waterburger is gonna happen because I don't think
24:23
Speaker 6: AM is gonna put an orange logo on a maroon jersey.
24:26
Speaker 6: I just don't think that's gonna fly. Uh Now, somebody
24:29
Speaker 6: did point out that, you know, Ohio State they just
24:33
Speaker 6: struck a deal with Chase. They're gonna have the Chase logo.
24:36
Speaker 6: Chase's logo is blue, and who's Ohio State's main rival.
24:40
Speaker 6: It's Michigan in blue. But if you look at the jersey,
24:43
Speaker 6: Chase is doing like a special scarlet logo on the
24:48
Speaker 6: Ohio State uniform. So it's would would Waburger do a maroon.
24:53
Speaker 1: They put maroon instead of oranges? They put them.
24:55
Speaker 6: They put the maroon strike here on the on the
24:58
Speaker 6: on the restaurant. So maybe maybe. But you know, think
25:03
Speaker 6: about some of the big the oil companies that are
25:06
Speaker 6: based out of Houston. You know, something like Southwest Airlines
25:10
Speaker 6: or American Airlines is based up in Dallas, right at
25:14
Speaker 6: and T is based up in Dallas. Elon's got all
25:17
Speaker 6: kinds of things here in Texas.
25:19
Speaker 1: We would be great.
25:20
Speaker 6: I mean, he's build a thing in the backyard of
25:23
Speaker 6: in Grimes County.
25:24
Speaker 1: So I'd go for Elon. I'd go I'd go at
25:26
Speaker 1: the top and work my way down right. I mean,
25:28
Speaker 1: come on, let's be honest.
25:28
Speaker 6: I mean, could you imagine if Tesla's on a and
25:31
Speaker 6: in Jersey?
25:33
Speaker 1: Does the media get those cars too? I mean, it's
25:36
Speaker 1: just coverable. What about I know, did you see a
25:39
Speaker 1: lot of new uniforms this year? A lot of teams
25:41
Speaker 1: going to what And I know you're a uniform guy
25:43
Speaker 1: and these kids today, Oh do I need to take
25:46
Speaker 1: a break first there? Because like I said, we'll talk
25:48
Speaker 1: about uniforms. We'll get back.
25:51
Speaker 5: Summer is here, the weather is hot. The animals need

29:22
Speaker 1: not here. You find you've been listening. It's been over
29:24
Speaker 1: an hour. Robert Sesta, along with Alex Miller the Ego Cards,
29:30
Speaker 1: got a call from one of my sources saying the
29:33
Speaker 1: anim men's basketball teams looking really good. I said, I'll
29:38
Speaker 1: keep them between us, so we took the break. I
29:44
Speaker 1: know you're big in the uniforms, Alex uh and I
29:47
Speaker 1: saw that there's like a dozen you know, I'm sure
29:50
Speaker 1: a lot of schools change their uniforms and no one
29:53
Speaker 1: cares until the opening not day because they don't get
29:56
Speaker 1: any kind of money. But I saw some of these
29:59
Speaker 1: and one of them's new Nebraska.
30:01
Speaker 4: Uh.
30:02
Speaker 1: Whose uniforms do you like right now? Besides A and M?
30:05
Speaker 1: Since a m's out of the out of the loop,
30:07
Speaker 1: you cover A and M. So I'm not gonna throw
30:10
Speaker 1: either one of us underneath the.
30:11
Speaker 6: Bush that's got like kind of a different look.
30:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, any any uniform jumps out at you.
30:17
Speaker 6: No, I feel like a lot of the SEC teams
30:21
Speaker 6: they keep it real simple. You think about Alabama, Alabama's
30:25
Speaker 6: gonna have the most simple Jersey.
30:28
Speaker 1: Penn State they redid their They redid their saying to
30:31
Speaker 1: redid their uniforms. It's one thing. I went to it
30:32
Speaker 1: because I love Penn State's uniforms. And then the guy said,
30:35
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny is they've they've changed them. But what
30:38
Speaker 1: they've done is they've really not changed them. And I
30:41
Speaker 1: love that is So that is so Penn State. You
30:44
Speaker 1: know they're not gonna they're not gonna change it. But Ohio,
30:46
Speaker 1: they got Ohio State, Notre Dame down.
30:48
Speaker 4: Uh.
30:50
Speaker 1: They said that the new uniforms basically it will look
30:53
Speaker 1: like the old ones and Penn State deal from Nike
30:57
Speaker 1: to Adidas is worth three hundred million over the next
31:01
Speaker 1: thirty million a year. I'll change my uniforse with Okay.
31:04
Speaker 6: Someone who I think does a good job with changing
31:08
Speaker 6: up looks Missouri. I think they do a really good job.
31:14
Speaker 6: It seems like every week they've got some different combination
31:16
Speaker 6: and then you know they've they've got they've got a
31:19
Speaker 6: different helmet decal with a different helmet color. It seems
31:23
Speaker 6: like every week they've got, you know, the traditional tiger.
31:27
Speaker 6: I think the block m looks good. They've got the
31:31
Speaker 6: old school kind of cartoony tiger with the sailor's hat.
31:35
Speaker 6: I think they do a good job. And I've always
31:39
Speaker 6: thought that black and Gold.
31:41
Speaker 1: Looks pretty good.
31:42
Speaker 6: It looks good. It's hard to mess up black.
31:43
Speaker 1: And Gold said. Notre Dame's bringing back their Shamrock series
31:48
Speaker 1: this season and the opener against Wisconsin. The thing I
31:54
Speaker 1: don't like about going back to retros, like when the
31:56
Speaker 1: Pirates do it and my Steelers do it, they look
31:59
Speaker 1: after horrible. It's like, luckily we've moved forward from that.
32:03
Speaker 1: Sometimes when we go back to I know they're just
32:05
Speaker 1: trying to sell uniforms to young kids that's never seen them.
32:09
Speaker 1: Why go back to something that didn't workly work?
32:11
Speaker 6: So we mentioned the red, White, and Blue game earlier
32:14
Speaker 6: on the show. I'm curious A A and M. In
32:18
Speaker 6: the past, they've they've done it where they'll wear a
32:21
Speaker 6: white helmet with kind of an American flag decal ATM logo.
32:26
Speaker 6: I'm curious if they'll do that for that game.
32:29
Speaker 10: Now.
32:29
Speaker 6: The thing that I'm curious about now that we're talking
32:32
Speaker 6: about it is what is A and M's alternative uniform
32:36
Speaker 6: going to be this season? They brought in the black
32:40
Speaker 6: uniforms again. And if you go back and you remember,
32:45
Speaker 6: Mike Elko last season told us that this year's alternative
32:50
Speaker 6: uniforms this was the first one that he had his
32:53
Speaker 6: hand in. And so what's that going to be? I
32:58
Speaker 6: have no inside knowledge. This is just Alex guessing.
33:01
Speaker 1: Alex Miller.
33:02
Speaker 6: Okay, uh. What's something that Elko's really gravitated toward during
33:08
Speaker 6: his time at A and M. It's the old Sarge
33:12
Speaker 6: logo he brought. He brought in the old Starge logo.
33:16
Speaker 6: I'm curious if they'll do an old Sarge logo on
33:21
Speaker 6: the helmet. Interesting that that that is something that I'm
33:24
Speaker 6: curious about. I don't have any I don't have any
33:27
Speaker 6: inside knowledge and so, but that's something that Elko seems
33:31
Speaker 6: to really like. And if he's got his fingers on it,
33:35
Speaker 6: is that something that they go toward. I'm just curious.
33:38
Speaker 6: I'm just curious.
33:39
Speaker 1: That's funny you should mention that because I have the
33:40
Speaker 1: laugh gone way back in the old days. I can
33:43
Speaker 1: remember when A and M won certain big games, those
33:47
Speaker 1: of Bob would come down and go put put the
33:49
Speaker 1: put the old Sarge logo on the paper, whether on
33:52
Speaker 1: the cover or on sports you know that you're right.
33:55
Speaker 1: Sarge was a big winner. He didn't throw them out
33:58
Speaker 1: there all the time. And I'm probably gone back forty
34:02
Speaker 1: years fifty bring old Sergeant.
34:04
Speaker 6: The script agis has been a hit. It seems like
34:09
Speaker 6: every sports team that a M has has done some
34:12
Speaker 6: form of the script aggies and it's been it's been
34:16
Speaker 6: a huge success. And I thought it looked really good
34:19
Speaker 6: on aem's helmets the last couple of years, whether they
34:21
Speaker 6: did it with the blackout game or they had the
34:24
Speaker 6: white uniforms against Notre Dame last year where they had
34:27
Speaker 6: the script aggies on that helmet decal. Uh, that that's
34:30
Speaker 6: been a good one. And I think what's good about
34:34
Speaker 6: A and M is aam's got good traditional uniforms. But
34:39
Speaker 6: I think they've done it right where once a year
34:41
Speaker 6: they kind of change it up, but it's not it's
34:44
Speaker 6: not overtly flashy that it's just like what are they doing?
34:48
Speaker 6: Like this just doesn't feel right. I'm still disappointed that
34:53
Speaker 6: when during the Johnny years they didn't do the zebra
34:56
Speaker 6: jerseys that they said they were gonna they tease about,
35:00
Speaker 6: you know, they had they photoshopped the swag copter with
35:04
Speaker 6: with the zebra adida stuff, that would have been hilarious.
35:08
Speaker 1: Well, I think one thing about the uniforms. Oregon had
35:13
Speaker 1: the market there cornered for a while. Then I think
35:17
Speaker 1: everybody's pasted him. Oregon can't shock anybody like there for
35:21
Speaker 1: a while it was like, oh, what's Oregon going to
35:22
Speaker 1: do next? You know, because all Nike whatever, I think
35:26
Speaker 1: everybody else is kind of caught up. When's the last
35:30
Speaker 1: time he said, Oh what's what's what's Oregon going to do?
35:34
Speaker 1: And I think the fact that they went into Big ten,
35:38
Speaker 1: I don't know if that really helped them or not.
35:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, I could give you a list of alternative jerseys
35:43
Speaker 6: that I've not liked, but I won't subject chips listeners
35:47
Speaker 6: to that one.
35:47
Speaker 1: Oh well, I did want to talk a little bit
35:51
Speaker 1: about the Big ten going on today. Bret Bellima. I
35:58
Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard what he said today, but
36:01
Speaker 1: but Brett Billiba go back to his days at the
36:04
Speaker 1: at the SEC media days. Remember he's the one that
36:08
Speaker 1: come in with that. He was upset at the running
36:11
Speaker 1: running shoot, wanted the ground the game, you know, him
36:13
Speaker 1: and him and Sabman kind of a little bit and
36:16
Speaker 1: uh say, Billimo was was pretty good. Uh let me
36:21
Speaker 1: see if I can get.
36:22
Speaker 6: Mike today that he wants you, I'll let you do it.
36:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's his quote. I know SEC Commissioner Greg Sank
36:29
Speaker 1: has got to protect the se SI SEC and they
36:33
Speaker 1: kind of want to live in two thousand and five forever.
36:37
Speaker 1: But I think the forward thinking of where we are
36:40
Speaker 1: in college football is an awesome thing. Okay, I want
36:47
Speaker 1: to read that again, but I kind of read that
36:50
Speaker 1: the first time and said, huh, then I look at
36:52
Speaker 1: what the guy wrote. Billima was asked to further expand
36:57
Speaker 1: on that, which I'm glad he did. And of course
37:00
Speaker 1: Billama said, I think I just made the headline, right, Okay,
37:06
Speaker 1: I get it live. I guarantee you the SEC is
37:09
Speaker 1: not living in twenty five. Give the Big Ten props
37:14
Speaker 1: for winning three national championships, but this is when it
37:20
Speaker 1: But uh, Billima obviously studied this because the SEC won
37:25
Speaker 1: thirteen championships from twenty six to twenty two. Okay, get that.
37:29
Speaker 1: That's thirteen out of what sixteen or seventeen? And now
37:33
Speaker 1: the Big Ten's won two three in a row. That's
37:37
Speaker 1: to say that that they've won for three years. Billama
37:41
Speaker 1: should kept his mouth shut. I mean, that's gonna come
37:43
Speaker 1: back on him and be honest. When he was at
37:47
Speaker 1: the SEC, I always wanted to go listen to him
37:49
Speaker 1: because he was controversially. He's going to say something.
37:52
Speaker 6: Oh man, but they had some great ones.
37:54
Speaker 1: But that being said is this guy couldn't beat Kevin someone.
37:58
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, would it? Right right down to it?
38:01
Speaker 1: He never could beat Kevin Sumlin.
38:03
Speaker 6: He probably should have never left Wisconsin.
38:05
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there's a lot of truth to that. Here's
38:11
Speaker 1: the one that I wanted to get to about Billima. Billima.
38:16
Speaker 1: Uh got a lot of Billa Billima described knealing down
38:26
Speaker 1: while beating running out the clock in their victory against
38:30
Speaker 1: Texas in Night in twenty fourteen, he described as watching
38:37
Speaker 1: that bordered on was borderline erotic. Okay, yeah, we all
38:42
Speaker 1: remember that one and you go like, oh, and so
38:45
Speaker 1: I'll give all the credit to one of our former
38:50
Speaker 1: colleagues at The Eagle, ol In Buchanan, who now works
38:54
Speaker 1: for Texaggs the falling year at SEC Two years later
38:58
Speaker 1: at the SEC Me to Days, this was Olan's question,
39:02
Speaker 1: coach two years ago, here you described a win over
39:06
Speaker 1: Texas as being borderline erotic. I was wondering, if you're
39:11
Speaker 1: able to beat A and M with the way things
39:14
Speaker 1: have gone in your series with them, how do you
39:16
Speaker 1: think you would describe that? Got to give Olan, and
39:20
Speaker 1: I can remember Bill was saying like, oh man, and
39:23
Speaker 1: this is how he answered. I know you guys are
39:26
Speaker 1: all looking for quotes. I don't think I can go
39:30
Speaker 1: much further than that one that was in a small
39:33
Speaker 1: group session, and that was before I had a child.
39:37
Speaker 1: So I'll just leave it all there. These coaches don't
39:41
Speaker 1: some of them realize that. Some of them don't man,
39:43
Speaker 1: that that quote stick. These quotes stick with you every
39:48
Speaker 1: time and of course they immediately pulled out that when
39:52
Speaker 1: Billman also said at Arkansas once we're not built sexy,
39:57
Speaker 1: We're just a work in progress. We need a lot
40:01
Speaker 1: of time in the bathroom to get ready and come
40:03
Speaker 1: out and look great. But once we do, we stop time.
40:08
Speaker 4: You know.
40:08
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, you had to think about that
40:11
Speaker 1: stuff before, he says, and this is when they're gonna
40:16
Speaker 1: play Michigan. I understand how the Michigan Notre Dame things
40:20
Speaker 1: sound sexy to everybody else, but I think Michigan and Arkansas,
40:24
Speaker 1: Arkansas sounds sexy. I was very excited about the Big
40:28
Speaker 1: Ten versus s EC. I made a comment in the spring,
40:31
Speaker 1: I'd love to see an SEC challenge at the front end.
40:36
Speaker 1: My commission gave me a josh back and said, that's
40:40
Speaker 1: called a bowl game, you know. And you know it's funny,
40:44
Speaker 1: is Alex You look at the SEC Media Days. I
40:47
Speaker 1: want to say about three coaches got up there and said,
40:51
Speaker 1: I was watching SEC Media Days yesterday because a lot
40:55
Speaker 1: of them just flew in for one day, and I
40:57
Speaker 1: was amazed at how many coaches watched the other coaches
41:01
Speaker 1: just to see what they have to say. Sar Kissington
41:04
Speaker 1: was one of the ones that said he watched what
41:06
Speaker 1: they were saying the other day, and I think sarkissing
41:08
Speaker 1: went late.
41:09
Speaker 6: They all listens, whether they admitted or not. So they're
41:12
Speaker 6: all listening. They're all watching, and of course or their
41:16
Speaker 6: right hand person's listening and watching and passing what they
41:19
Speaker 6: need to know.
41:20
Speaker 1: And of course I plump we were talking. Of course
41:24
Speaker 1: we talk all the time. He's in my room, he's
41:26
Speaker 1: got to he's got to listen to me. But I
41:28
Speaker 1: plumb forgot about Elcho making the comment somewhere among us whatever,
41:33
Speaker 1: which they brought up up on the which Texas showed
41:38
Speaker 1: on the video last year at the game after the
41:41
Speaker 1: game was over, when I think it was uh, Elko
41:44
Speaker 1: said that they wanted to be the lead universe.
41:47
Speaker 6: They wanted to be the flagship university of the state.
41:49
Speaker 6: And when they Texas took the final knee, they played
41:52
Speaker 6: that video and then they said psych and it was
41:55
Speaker 6: like a montage of all the Longhorn pluy.
41:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the deal is.
42:00
Speaker 3: Love.
42:00
Speaker 1: This is why I love college sports. What else do
42:04
Speaker 1: you expect Elko to say, we want to be second
42:07
Speaker 1: or third in the state. I mean, he's hired to
42:11
Speaker 1: win championships, so he's going to say that. And if
42:16
Speaker 1: you're Texas and uh sar kissing. If you want to
42:21
Speaker 1: be offended, great, but just do what you have done.
42:27
Speaker 1: You won two games. It's it's all about winning. And
42:29
Speaker 1: I chuckled because a couple of our co works were
42:32
Speaker 1: with us in the scrums, Kirk Bowles of the Houston
42:36
Speaker 1: Chronicle and Cedric Golden of the Austin merg Statesman, asking
42:42
Speaker 1: questions of Mike Elko whatever. And I loved when Kirk asked,
42:47
Speaker 1: have you arrived? And I even loved Elko's answer better
42:53
Speaker 1: because he said they hadn't done nothing, anything, anything yet.
42:56
Speaker 1: And I like that because someone and Jimbo Fisher, I
43:04
Speaker 1: might be wrong. I thought they felt they accomplished something
43:08
Speaker 1: when they beat Alabama that year and went ten and
43:12
Speaker 1: two or eleven two whatever it was someone in his
43:15
Speaker 1: first year, and when Jimbo went dining and wan and
43:18
Speaker 1: went to the Orange Bowl, I think they thought they
43:20
Speaker 1: accomplished something, but they didn't really accomplish anything. Until you
43:24
Speaker 1: win some big hardware, you haven't done anything. So I
43:28
Speaker 1: like the fact that Elko's not going to take a
43:31
Speaker 1: champion what I call championship light let's see.
43:34
Speaker 6: No, No, absolutely not. I think they understand that. You know,
43:39
Speaker 6: there's a big fish to catch. They've caught some small fish,
43:42
Speaker 6: they're on their way to catch the big fish. And
43:45
Speaker 6: I think they are on their way to catching the
43:47
Speaker 6: big fish, but that big fish is still in the
43:49
Speaker 6: pond and they got to reel them in so well,
43:53
Speaker 6: and just.
43:53
Speaker 1: Once again, is you love the SEC and then you
43:58
Speaker 1: throw in the rivalry because you know A and them
44:02
Speaker 1: at Texas. I mean, you just think about I'm thinking
44:05
Speaker 1: about after Thanksgiving. Oh my gosh, I don't know what's
44:08
Speaker 1: going to happen until then. I think that's going to
44:10
Speaker 1: be a huge game. Even if it doesn't turn out
44:13
Speaker 1: to be a huge game on both sides nation nationally,
44:17
Speaker 1: it's going to be a big game. Texas has beat
44:19
Speaker 1: A and M twice, and suddenly, in our era of
44:22
Speaker 1: instant communication, it seems like A and M hasn't beaten
44:26
Speaker 1: Texas forever. I get it, you've got to go back
44:28
Speaker 1: to the Big twelve. But I mean, just in the
44:32
Speaker 1: SEC two years is a long time. Now you're gonna
44:35
Speaker 1: start playing nine games. The years are going to seem
44:38
Speaker 1: longer just because they mean more. And speaking about me,
44:41
Speaker 1: and more. We'll be back with more right after this.

Speaker 17: in Texas and if you're a hunter or outdoors enthusiasts,
45:27

45:55
Speaker 16: win over the Seattle Mariners yesterday, final score seven to two.
45:59
Speaker 16: Jock Peterson and opened the scoring with his six leadoff
46:02
Speaker 16: home run of the season. After Seattle responded with a
46:05
Speaker 16: solo blast of their own to tie it up, Peterson
46:08
Speaker 16: cranked a three run blast in the bottom of the
46:10
Speaker 16: second inning to retake the lead.
46:12
Speaker 4: By those two.
46:13
Speaker 14: Not having a big, huge collision here, Peterson lights into
46:17
Speaker 14: one down the right field line.
46:19
Speaker 6: This ball coming down and over the world.
46:22

48:11
Speaker 1: cheap car. I usually listen it's a Brian broadcasting. I
48:17
Speaker 1: usually listen to one oh seven point seven. My soul
48:20
Speaker 1: needs all the help it can get. But we go
48:22
Speaker 1: on the road trip to Naples. I turn on Syru's sixties.
48:26
Speaker 1: Even though my wife's more of an eighties girl. Whatever,
48:30
Speaker 1: I listened to sixties, so I get like thirty hours
48:33
Speaker 1: of bad bed Leroy Brown, you know, and boats sitting
48:36
Speaker 1: on the dock of the bay and all them. So
48:39
Speaker 1: the time flies by the way I drive. And when
48:41
Speaker 1: you're going ninety five and one hundred, you need some
48:43
Speaker 1: good music, you get on I seventy five and forty
48:46
Speaker 1: and it's bye bye car. Here we go. Okay, we're
48:50
Speaker 1: back here. I guess we're back here leftovers along with
48:54
Speaker 1: coworker Alex Miller, always like listening to the new coaches
48:59
Speaker 1: coming in every year. I've been blessed to be able
49:01
Speaker 1: to go now to fifteen sec media days, uh, Lane
49:07
Speaker 1: Kiffin when it comes to talking for that many years
49:10
Speaker 1: in the in the U, Nick Saban's world and Stick
49:13
Speaker 1: particularly Steve Spray or God bless him, because they were
49:17
Speaker 1: meant to have a microphone in front of them.
49:19
Speaker 14: But the New, the New.
49:20
Speaker 1: Breed Man, we had four and you know, I hate
49:23
Speaker 1: to say this, I didn't really count. You never count,
49:25
Speaker 1: Lane Kiff, and Ken that was the seventh and he
49:28
Speaker 1: was so subdued he was it was like he was
49:30
Speaker 1: on kueludes.
49:31
Speaker 6: Also, his whole thing about we're all gonna die, that.
49:34
Speaker 1: Was I immediately said, I got a scoop. We're all
49:38
Speaker 1: going to die. And I've covered teams that died really early,
49:41
Speaker 1: you know, so as far as that's concerned. But I
49:45
Speaker 1: also said I was gonna say that, uh uh pete, Pete,
49:49
Speaker 1: Golding wasn't gonna count because he wasn't new. But Golding
49:53
Speaker 1: was good, gold was great. He was counted. And here's
49:57
Speaker 1: how things have changed, Alex. And you can agree you're
49:59
Speaker 1: going because you even know your new school, you under
50:03
Speaker 1: understand old school. The quote media that clapped when he
50:08
Speaker 1: came in and left, you don't do that at a
50:10
Speaker 1: press conference. You can't clap, even though he was worthy
50:13
Speaker 1: of clapping.
50:14
Speaker 6: See, I wasn't in there when that happened. Okay, And
50:18
Speaker 6: so no, yeah, no, obviously that's a big no.
50:22
Speaker 5: No.
50:22
Speaker 6: What I'm curious is, as we know, there are school staffers,
50:29
Speaker 6: school peep officials that oftentimes will tag along.
50:33
Speaker 1: On the payroll.
50:33
Speaker 6: And I was curious if that those that happened to
50:38
Speaker 6: be maybe some of them.
50:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can guarantee you that, uh uh Pat forty.
50:46
Speaker 6: Or hey, but drink WIT's made sure to tell Pat
50:49
Speaker 6: forty forty. You gotta say zo u or.
50:52
Speaker 1: The other guy from on three that saved my bacon
50:55
Speaker 1: on my question.
50:56
Speaker 6: Uh oh Andy Staples, Andy Staples.
50:58
Speaker 1: They weren't clapping, they But anyway, the new the new
51:02
Speaker 1: guys overall, I like, like, I give them all pretty
51:05
Speaker 1: high marks. Who did you like the best?
51:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean Golding was just so funny, and you know,
51:13
Speaker 6: he was asked about a lot of prickly subjects, whether
51:17
Speaker 6: Lane Kiffin, some of the tampering allegations that he specifically
51:22
Speaker 6: has faced, some of the other things, and I mean
51:27
Speaker 6: he was just the responses were amazing. It was Golding
51:32
Speaker 6: was Golden in Maya po Now a guy that caught
51:38
Speaker 6: me by surprise was Ryan Silverfield of Arkansas just a.
51:44
Speaker 1: Little just I mean ted dry.
51:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was dry. But he had his moments, like
51:50
Speaker 6: he had a reporter asking him, hey, you were five
51:54
Speaker 6: and one against the SEC and he goes, wait, wait
51:57
Speaker 6: a second, can you repeat that? What what's my record
51:59
Speaker 6: against the And so I mean this is a guy
52:04
Speaker 6: who's stepping into probably the worst job in the SEC
52:09
Speaker 6: right now by far. And you know he's got to
52:12
Speaker 6: sell hope, He's got to sell something, and he did,
52:18
Speaker 6: speaking of which you know, he talked about he's got Aura.
52:21
Speaker 6: Do you know what Aura sees?
52:25
Speaker 1: Isn't there an Aura Colorado?
52:28
Speaker 6: Uh? Yeah, you got Aura wearing that Hawaiian tropic shirt.
52:34
Speaker 6: But no, I thought Silverfield was great. Let's see uh
52:39
Speaker 6: some raw holy cow. That guy. He he's he's a
52:44
Speaker 6: ball of energy. I mean, and we got to see
52:47
Speaker 6: him kind of chop it up with Elko in the
52:49
Speaker 6: back hallway before we talked with Elco, and you and
52:54
Speaker 6: I went back and forth. The bottom line is somebody's
52:57
Speaker 6: device went off in the main media room during his
53:00
Speaker 6: press conference and he basically joked that he'd throw a poet.
53:04
Speaker 6: If it was the team meeting, he'd throw the podium
53:06
Speaker 6: at him. I mean, and it was. It was really good.
53:10
Speaker 12: Uh.
53:10
Speaker 1: And then silver came back into it.
53:14
Speaker 6: Don't worry at I won't throw I won't throw the
53:17
Speaker 6: right So he was watching watching the will Stein from Kentucky.
53:24
Speaker 4: Uh A.
53:25
Speaker 6: The fact that I had my hand raised the entire
53:28
Speaker 6: time and didn't get to ask a question while he
53:30
Speaker 6: was founding and the fact. The thing, the thing that
53:34
Speaker 6: stood out to me was he was asked like, what,
53:37
Speaker 6: what what makes you think that you can win big
53:40
Speaker 6: at Kentucky And he goes, this is going to sound
53:44
Speaker 6: a little wrong, but because of me, and I mean,
53:48
Speaker 6: that's awesome. Look Kentucky. If Kentucky, by God's grace, is
53:55
Speaker 6: in Atlanta for the SEC Championship, which my grandpa would
53:59
Speaker 6: be a huge fan of because he went to Kentucky.
54:01
Speaker 17: We know that.
54:03
Speaker 6: If Kentucky makes the SEC Championship, and if that is
54:07
Speaker 6: not the lead clip and a hype video, then they've
54:10
Speaker 6: done it wrong.
54:11
Speaker 1: Well, you're right about one thing. I plumb forgot about that.
54:13
Speaker 1: You know yesterday so much to do because you don't
54:17
Speaker 1: he when he said that here, remind me Chuck Lee
54:19
Speaker 1: or Leigh how you pronounce his name? Clark him too?
54:22
Speaker 1: The Vanderbilt coach basically said the same thing at his
54:25
Speaker 1: first and I got this guy is so dry, dry
54:27
Speaker 1: he'll never last. And you know, of course he knew
54:29
Speaker 1: how to recruit. He remind me of him. But before
54:32
Speaker 1: we rune out of time, I always ask forget about
54:36
Speaker 1: wins and losses. If you had to cover one of
54:39
Speaker 1: those new coaches, all their press conferences all year. Which
54:43
Speaker 1: one would you pick?
54:44
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go with the guy that we did not mention,
54:47
Speaker 6: and that is Alex Golish of Auburn. Oh real, okay,
54:51
Speaker 6: and talking with a couple of guys that cover Auburn,
54:53
Speaker 6: he's been great to deal with. It sounds like, uh,
54:56
Speaker 6: you know, I felt like he he gave genuine on
55:00
Speaker 6: answers and you know, as someone who's got to write
55:02
Speaker 6: and cover people every day, uh, that that goes a
55:06
Speaker 6: long way. And I think that it helps our readers
55:09
Speaker 6: that people like Mike Elcho or Bucky McMillan and Michael
55:13
Speaker 6: Early and Tricia Ford and Joni Ta they will they'll
55:16
Speaker 6: tell you how it is. Jamie Morrison will tell you
55:18
Speaker 6: how it is, and it helps our readers understand what's
55:22
Speaker 6: going on just a little better.
55:24
Speaker 1: I would probably pick Summer off. For years it was
55:27
Speaker 1: just Kiff and you know, even saving a couple of times.
55:29
Speaker 1: And I liked less Miles too, So Spray or Spray
55:32
Speaker 1: was the greatest. My time in fifth Sprayer is the greatest.
55:35
Speaker 1: But I'd probably picked Summer off because I knowing me,
55:38
Speaker 1: he'd have to throw a podium at me sometime because
55:41
Speaker 1: my my phone will go off because I don't know
55:43
Speaker 1: how to work at half the time.
55:44
Speaker 6: Did happen last year?
55:45
Speaker 1: Yeah? And Elcho didn't throw uh. And one time I
55:49
Speaker 1: came in to the press conference one minute early and
55:52
Speaker 1: they started early, and he didn't say anything because it
55:54
Speaker 1: was like he really also realized it was on time.
55:57
Speaker 1: But I want to see if Summer would probably throw
56:00
Speaker 1: a podium at me, because I've been known to go
56:02
Speaker 1: off off the rail off norm once in a while.
56:06
Speaker 1: I know it's hard to believe, but okay, I'll tell
56:09
Speaker 1: you what. We're winding it down here. My sympothies go
56:14
Speaker 1: out to the hannout Rap who lost her life. I
56:18
Speaker 1: was able to interview twice on phone. Tragic deal, just
56:23
Speaker 1: just she'd probably be a world champion in boxing if
56:28
Speaker 1: she her life wouldn't have been taken. I know she's
56:31
Speaker 1: gonna have some deals back home in Indiana. But July
56:34
Speaker 1: twenty night's a big day. Or remember her. Take a walk,
56:38
Speaker 1: do something, give some money to a charity, or go
56:41
Speaker 1: for a bike ride and remember her life, because you
56:45
Speaker 1: know you I heard that we were at SEC medias
56:48
Speaker 1: or whatever. I like, all, wow, she'd been twenty seven
56:51
Speaker 1: this week. You think about. I'm not in charge, but
56:55
Speaker 1: make make make the most out of your life every day,
56:59
Speaker 1: make every mispronouncing you can do. Want to thank Jacob
