1:30
Speaker 6: not the most important album of the Texas music era,
1:38
Speaker 6: Viva Terlingua, was recorded on this date fifty three years
1:45
Speaker 6: ago in nineteen seventy three in Lukenbach, Texas, and Jackie
1:54
Speaker 6: Jack Walker became a star. He had already obviously had
1:58
Speaker 6: Mister bo Jangles and it obviously, as this album will
2:04
Speaker 6: tell you, had written some great songs, but this one
2:10
Speaker 6: put him into orbit. Recorded on and we've talked about
2:16
Speaker 6: everything that happened in all the craziness. It put Lukenbach,
2:23
Speaker 6: Texas on the map. It put Hondo Crouch the unofficial
2:28
Speaker 6: mayor of Lukenbach. It made him a national star. A
2:33
Speaker 6: lot of things happened on this date in Lukenbach fifty
2:38
Speaker 6: three years ago. We're going to be playing the album today,
2:41
Speaker 6: Welcome in. That will probably be the highlight of the show.
2:47
Speaker 6: But we've got other things we've slapped together, including our
2:53
Speaker 6: friend Kurt Bodenhausen, who has been with us for years
2:57
Speaker 6: talking about the finances of sports. He is going to
3:01
Speaker 6: join us in the second hour.
3:03
Speaker 7: We have got an SEC preview, We've got a high
3:07
Speaker 7: school report. We're going to hear from Mike Elko. I
3:12
Speaker 7: have my own personal Entertainment edition. My gots this sounds
3:17
Speaker 7: like a pretty good show. Actually, it could be that
3:21
Speaker 7: you're here on a decent day. This portion of the
3:23
Speaker 7: program is brought to you by Radiant Dentistry. Yesterday AP
3:29
Speaker 7: released it's preseason Top twenty five pole, which is meaningless.
3:33
Speaker 7: Today they released the preseason AP All American First Team,
3:37
Speaker 7: which is equally meaningless. Now, don't tell Kurt Boles I
3:41
Speaker 7: said that he will fight me on that, but it's true.
3:49
Speaker 8: I'll just nay.
3:50
Speaker 7: I'll just tell you that the first team quarterback is
3:52
Speaker 7: Dante Moore, Kewan Lacy of Ole miss and a mad
3:56
Speaker 7: Herty of Missouri, which is interesting because he got shot
3:59
Speaker 7: in the offseason. We don't know if he's even going
4:01
Speaker 7: to play in the first game or two or three
4:04
Speaker 7: preseason All American And I have a story on the
4:08
Speaker 7: preseason All American offensive tackle Trevor Goldsby from the University
4:13
Speaker 7: of Texas, who has been injured in practice. Yesterday, Kirk
4:21
Speaker 7: Is reporting that the six to seven, three hundred and
4:24
Speaker 7: twenty five pounds projected first round draft pick suffered a
4:30
Speaker 7: bone bruise. Don't know yet the extent.
4:40
Speaker 8: Of the injury.
4:41
Speaker 7: Okay, if they're fortunate and that's what is being reported
4:46
Speaker 7: as a bone bruise, they he won't miss significant time.
4:53
Speaker 7: If he does, huge loss to the fighting Sarcesians, tred
5:01
Speaker 7: S Green, LSU All American tied end. In fact, we're
5:04
Speaker 7: going to hear from him tomorrow on the show because
5:08
Speaker 7: we're doing LSU tomorrow. We're doing A and M today,
5:10
Speaker 7: by the way, so phone the kids and wait the neighbors.
5:15
Speaker 7: Jeremiah Smith, Malachai, Tony cam Coleman, First Team All Americans.
5:24
Speaker 7: Let's see all purposes way night at UCLA should be
5:29
Speaker 7: Mario craf but hey, that's just me. Defense. There's quite
5:37
Speaker 7: a few SEC guys represented. Two from Texas, Colin Simmons,
5:41
Speaker 7: Rahie Biles the linebacker, edge rusher Dylan Stewart from South Carolina,
5:48
Speaker 7: tackle David Stone from Oklahoma, Linebacker Xavier Atkins from Auburn,
5:55
Speaker 7: cornerback LS Robinson of Georgia, safety kJ Bold of Georgia.
6:02
Speaker 7: So the SEC is well represented. Defensive back Bray Hubbard
6:07
Speaker 7: from Alabama. We heard from him during our preview of
6:11
Speaker 7: the time. The Aggie football team worked out again this morning,
6:18
Speaker 7: practiced outdoors. Coach Elko made available afterward. We will hear
6:25
Speaker 7: from him coming up. They will practice tomorrow, they will
6:29
Speaker 7: be off Thursday, they will practice Friday.
6:34
Speaker 8: It's Saturday and Sunday. It's the grind right now. It
6:45
Speaker 8: is the grind.
6:47
Speaker 7: Rangers announcing a couple of transactions. Catcher Danny Jansen has
6:52
Speaker 7: been activated from the sixty day injured list. He's missed
6:59
Speaker 7: the last sixty four games with a right four arm strain.
7:08
Speaker 7: Let's see, he's been at Triple A Round Rock where
7:11
Speaker 7: he hit three point thirty three. Getting ready to come back,
7:16
Speaker 7: and they have DFA catcher Austin Wins. Rangers tonight are
7:25
Speaker 7: taking on the Nationals. Kyle Quantrell scheduled to pitch for
7:32
Speaker 7: the Rangers Astros tonight against the Angels at Dykin Park.
7:40
Speaker 7: Christian Javier expected to pitch for the Astros. We will
7:46
Speaker 7: have that game beginning at six forty here on the zone.
7:53
Speaker 7: Pete Crow Armstrong was pretty good last night in Chicago.
7:59
Speaker 7: He had a two run walk off home run in
8:01
Speaker 7: the bottom of the tent to breath their crosstown rival
8:04
Speaker 7: White Sox seven to five.
8:09
Speaker 8: That was the second of the game he hit a
8:13
Speaker 8: first inning home run.
8:17
Speaker 7: He became the seventh player in MLB history to hit
8:21
Speaker 7: a leadoff home run and a walk off home run
8:24
Speaker 7: in the same game, and by the way, he reached
8:27
Speaker 7: the thirty thirty.
8:29
Speaker 8: Club last night. He is a candidate for MVP.
8:37
Speaker 7: The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed second basement Cotel Marte on
8:41
Speaker 7: the restricted list that was announced prior to the game
8:46
Speaker 7: at Boston last night. Marte was placed on the list
8:50
Speaker 7: after he failed to show up at Finway Park for
8:53
Speaker 7: the game. Manager Tory Lavello confirming but saying Martel was
9:00
Speaker 7: quote fine, he said afterward, it's been a crazy day.
9:06
Speaker 7: All I know is he's dealing with a personal issue.
9:10
Speaker 7: We're trying to figure that out. He didn't show up today,
9:14
Speaker 7: was placed on the restricted list, saying he's had very
9:18
Speaker 7: little communication with him and was doing my best to
9:23
Speaker 7: reach out to him. Marte was the subject of some
9:29
Speaker 7: I believe racial slurs a year ago, and I believe.
9:35
Speaker 8: He may have missed a game or two during that time. Stan,
9:40
Speaker 8: you have something to add to that, So it.
9:43
Speaker 9: Was borderline racial.
9:44
Speaker 8: What happened was a fan was making horrible remarks about
9:49
Speaker 8: his mother.
9:49
Speaker 7: That's right, that's right. His mom had died, yes, and
9:53
Speaker 7: the fan was heckling him very very badly.
9:58
Speaker 8: So anyway, this this guy's a heck.
10:00
Speaker 5: Of a player.
10:01
Speaker 8: He's really a heck of a player. This may be
10:05
Speaker 8: a surprise, but maybe not.
10:08
Speaker 7: Bucky has poached a second Longhorn basketball player. This one
10:16
Speaker 7: has played some ball. Jordan Pope, after being given an
10:23
Speaker 7: extra year, is coming to College Station. He's had a
10:29
Speaker 7: one hundred and thirty career starts. He's averaged thirteen and
10:34
Speaker 7: a half points a game. He has shot forty three
10:37
Speaker 7: percent from the field. Pope wrote on social media he
10:43
Speaker 7: wanted to return to Austin, but Sean Miller had already
10:48
Speaker 7: finalized his roster by the time the ruling was complete.
10:57
Speaker 7: Great pickup for Bucky, by the way, And I want
11:01
Speaker 7: to say that Jordan Pope was instrumental in the Texas
11:08
Speaker 7: win here last year in College Station. I believe that
11:17
Speaker 7: he had a pretty decent game against A and M
11:20
Speaker 7: last spring here. Streaky shooter, but mad great pickup for
11:30
Speaker 7: bucket Ball. And Bill Rasmussen has died. You may not
11:37
Speaker 7: know that name, but you know the organization. He created,
11:46
Speaker 7: the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network in nineteen seventy nine ESPN.
11:55
Speaker 7: Rasmussen and his son conceived of the twenty four our
12:00
Speaker 7: National Sports Network idea. How'd that turnout? He has been
12:07
Speaker 7: battling Parkinson's. He maxed out his credit card with a
12:14
Speaker 7: nine thousand dollars advance to acquire the space on a
12:20
Speaker 7: satellite to put ESPN on the air. And I don't
12:27
Speaker 7: know enough about this, but I'm guessing ESPN became wildly
12:37
Speaker 7: more successful a than he ever dreamed, and then b
12:43
Speaker 7: got away from what made him that way by turning
12:47
Speaker 7: to politics. In the last ten years, Bill Rasmussen was
12:54
Speaker 7: ninety three and a pioneer of sports programming. Okay, now
13:02
Speaker 7: ESPN controls the world. We're going to take a break
13:08
Speaker 7: where you've got a high school report coming up. We
13:11
Speaker 7: are previewing the Aggies on our SEC preview. We're going
13:16
Speaker 7: to hear from Mike Elko. We're going to talk to
13:19
Speaker 7: Kurt Bodenhausen of Sportico. Still working on either tomorrow or Thursday.
13:29
Speaker 7: The co directors and producers of a documentary called If
13:34
Speaker 7: These Walls Could Rock, the untold story of the legendary
13:41
Speaker 7: West Hollywood Sunset Marquee Hotel when rock and roll stars
13:48
Speaker 7: were accused of throwing furniture out the window and all
13:51
Speaker 7: around drugging, drinking and debauchery.
13:56
Speaker 8: The sunset. Marquee was in the middle of it.
14:00
Speaker 7: But quietly, believe it or not, we'll hear the story
14:04
Speaker 7: from these guys. It's quite the story either tomorrow or Thursday,
14:10
Speaker 7: which made you have to listen both days. I'm sorry,
14:13
Speaker 7: that's just the way it is. All right, we're gonna.
14:15
Speaker 8: Take a break. This portion of the program is brought
14:18

15:41
Speaker 1: Mean this old man, thisprid fading.
15:48
Speaker 7: For I believe this is my all time favorite Cherry
15:54
Speaker 7: Jeff song. He didn't write it, Ky Clark wrote it, uh,
15:58
Speaker 7: based on a very true story, true relationship with a
16:02
Speaker 7: West Texas oil man that he had with him surrogate father.
16:06
Speaker 7: When I heard this song man, and when he did
16:11
Speaker 7: it in concert. Man, we are highlighting Vivaterlingui today because
16:20
Speaker 7: it is the fifty third anniversary of this album. I
16:26
Speaker 7: will say again, if not the most important album, which
16:32
Speaker 7: I think I could make a case for, certainly in
16:35
Speaker 7: the top two to three of the most important albums
16:39
Speaker 7: in the history of Texas music and singing and songwriting.
16:45
Speaker 7: And that's I got no qualm saying that at all. Okay, Caleb,
16:54
Speaker 7: Ha's a high school report for us.
16:56
Speaker 13: Welcome into the high school report. I'm Kayler Rapley, and
16:59
Speaker 13: today we are umping out to the Polaris Fun Center
17:01
Speaker 13: phone line to visit with the head coach of the
17:04
Speaker 13: A and M Consolidated Tigers football team, mister Brandon Schmidt coach,
17:09
Speaker 13: thanks for joining me today, absolutely, thanks for having us. Yes, sir,
17:14
Speaker 13: we are on the home stretch of the preseason, getting
17:19
Speaker 13: ready for Week one of the Texas high school football season.
17:24
Speaker 13: And it's been a long summer and spring without football,
17:27
Speaker 13: but it is almost here.
17:29
Speaker 14: How has this off season been for your tigers?
17:32
Speaker 15: Really good off season? You know for us it goes
17:35
Speaker 15: all the way back to boot camp in January and
17:37
Speaker 15: then our you know, off season program and into spring
17:40
Speaker 15: ball and then in the summer strings and conditioning camp.
17:42
Speaker 15: So you know, I think kids have been great, made
17:44
Speaker 15: a lot of progress, you know, bigger, fast, or stronger,
17:47
Speaker 15: and you know, see if we can get it to
17:49
Speaker 15: pay off this season.
17:51
Speaker 13: So you are going into your fourth year as the
17:54
Speaker 13: head coach at AM Consolidated, and in two of your
17:58
Speaker 13: three seasons you've won at least ten games, a very
18:01
Speaker 13: successful program and you inherited a very successful program as well,
18:05
Speaker 13: a team that's had a lot of success in five
18:08
Speaker 13: A Division one. So does that put pressure on you
18:11
Speaker 13: and your kids to keep up that winning tradition?
18:15
Speaker 15: You know, one of the things our kids here a
18:17
Speaker 15: lot is the pressure is a privilege, and you know,
18:20
Speaker 15: we're all you know, me included, our kids, included, our
18:23
Speaker 15: coaching staff included, we're all. We're all blessed and fortunate
18:26
Speaker 15: enough to be a part of a program that's been
18:28
Speaker 15: a really strong program for a really long time. And
18:31
Speaker 15: so with that, I think come high expectations. But I
18:35
Speaker 15: think that's what you want. I think you want to
18:36
Speaker 15: have those high expectations to help push you and drive you.
18:40
Speaker 15: And you know, I think the expectations are are a
18:44
Speaker 15: good thing. I think they build they build stronger programs.
18:48
Speaker 14: So this year will look a little bit different.
18:51
Speaker 13: It is still a nine team district in District twelve,
18:55
Speaker 13: but only retaining four of the teams from the past realignment,
18:59
Speaker 13: so a lot of new teams that you will be
19:01
Speaker 13: having to go up against.
19:03
Speaker 14: How much of a challenge is that going to be
19:04
Speaker 14: for you and your team?
19:05
Speaker 15: Well, you know, I think you know number one, the
19:08
Speaker 15: nine team districts, which are actually a little bit familiar
19:10
Speaker 15: with because our last realignment was also a nine team district,
19:13
Speaker 15: but nine team district, so you know, it's top four
19:17
Speaker 15: teams to go to the playoffs. And there's districts out
19:19
Speaker 15: there that have six teams in them, So you know,
19:20
Speaker 15: when you're in a nine team district. It's it makes
19:23
Speaker 15: things a little bit tougher. It makes every week a
19:25
Speaker 15: little bit more important.
19:25
Speaker 5: I think.
19:27
Speaker 15: And then you know, lastly, you only have two non
19:29
Speaker 15: district games, and so you know, by week three, you know,
19:32
Speaker 15: you've got to be clicking on all cylinders because we're
19:34
Speaker 15: going to play a really tough district schedule. So I think,
19:38
Speaker 15: you know, the move, you know, realignment was I think
19:42
Speaker 15: put us in a stronger district overall, from top to bottom.
19:46
Speaker 15: And I think there's some really really quality opponents in
19:48
Speaker 15: our district College Station and Wife and Georgetown and Shoemaker,
19:54
Speaker 15: and so I think from top to bottom, our district
19:57
Speaker 15: is probably as tough as any districts in the state.
19:59
Speaker 13: So your Tigers are going to be a pretty experienced
20:02
Speaker 13: team this season, bringing back twelve total starters, and did
20:08
Speaker 13: lose a couple of big names from the skill position
20:11
Speaker 13: on the offense, but overall that group seems to be intact.
20:15
Speaker 14: How much of an advantage is that for you as
20:17
Speaker 14: a coach.
20:18
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, I think on the offensive side of
20:21
Speaker 15: the ball, we return a lot of kids who played
20:23
Speaker 15: last year, both starters and backups, who are big contributors offensively.
20:29
Speaker 15: I feel like we're, you know, on August twelfth or thirteenth,
20:33
Speaker 15: whatever today is. I think we're in a good place. Offensively,
20:36
Speaker 15: we just got to continue to work and get better,
20:39
Speaker 15: and I expect us to execute at a high level. Defensively,
20:43
Speaker 15: I think we still got a couple of holes that
20:44
Speaker 15: we're trying to fill, but we have some kids who
20:47
Speaker 15: are trying to step up and fill those roles for us.
20:49
Speaker 15: But same thing defensively, We've got a lot of kids
20:52
Speaker 15: who got a lot of playing time last year, and
20:54
Speaker 15: I think when you return that leadership and when you
20:56
Speaker 15: return those kids who have been there and done that
20:58
Speaker 15: on Friday night, I think it leads to high expectations.
21:02
Speaker 15: But I also thinks it's kids who are ready to
21:03
Speaker 15: meet those expectations.
21:05
Speaker 13: So looking at your schedule this year, we mentioned that
21:09
Speaker 13: it is going to be a very tough district once again.
21:13
Speaker 13: But the fun thing with the two college station schools
21:17
Speaker 13: being in the same district is that you always get
21:19
Speaker 13: to play your biggest rival every single season. You've won
21:22
Speaker 13: that game two of the three seasons that you've been
21:25
Speaker 13: the coach at Kansol. Are the emotions around that game
21:28
Speaker 13: different from a normal week?
21:30
Speaker 15: You know, I mean, I'd love to say no, but
21:32
Speaker 15: that's not true. You know, Yeah, the emotions are different,
21:36
Speaker 15: and I love, I love the rivalry game. Coach Pryor
21:39
Speaker 15: and his staff are phenomenal. They run a great program
21:42
Speaker 15: over there, and I think just the community involvement that
21:48
Speaker 15: we get from that game. It's very much a small
21:50
Speaker 15: town Texas field to it. It's going to be a
21:53
Speaker 15: packed house, and it's going to be two really good
21:55
Speaker 15: football teams getting after it and so and the kids
21:59
Speaker 15: they all know each other. So I would say it's
22:02
Speaker 15: a rivalry, yes, uh, And I think to a large extent,
22:05
Speaker 15: it's a it's a friendly rivalry. Our kids know their kids,
22:08
Speaker 15: and their kids know our kids, and they hang out
22:10
Speaker 15: some and and all of those things. So I think
22:13
Speaker 15: I think the game it's it's just a lot of fun.
22:15
Speaker 15: It's it's a great experience for our kids. But it's
22:18
Speaker 15: a great experience for our community too.
22:20
Speaker 13: And with the nine team district that you are in,
22:23
Speaker 13: you only get two non district games, and this year
22:27
Speaker 13: they're both on the road. I know, in your non
22:29
Speaker 13: district you want to play teams that are going to
22:32
Speaker 13: challenge you and get you ready for the district games.
22:35
Speaker 13: But on the other side of that, you only have
22:38
Speaker 13: these two games before the real meat of your schedule
22:42
Speaker 13: gets started. So what goes into choosing the teams that
22:44
Speaker 13: you play in the non district I.
22:47
Speaker 15: Mean, really a lot goes into it. Sometimes it's the
22:50
Speaker 15: answer is are simple at finding someone who's willing to
22:52
Speaker 15: play you. But you know we're gonna you know, you
22:58
Speaker 15: mentioned that. You know, we've been a successful program for
23:00
Speaker 15: a long time, and I've been doing this long enough
23:03
Speaker 15: where I'm not trying to schedule wins for us in
23:05
Speaker 15: non district games. I'm trying to schedule teams that are
23:07
Speaker 15: going to be tough, quality opponents that are going to
23:10
Speaker 15: make us better. You know, for us, the season is
23:13
Speaker 15: not about weeks one and two. It's about, you know,
23:15
Speaker 15: weeks eleven, twelve, thirteen and into the playoffs. And so
23:19
Speaker 15: we want to play teams that are going to be
23:22
Speaker 15: a challenge for us. They're going to make us work,
23:23
Speaker 15: they're going to make us get better, teams that are
23:25
Speaker 15: going to be well coached. And both of those teams,
23:28
Speaker 15: Cedar Park and Huntsville both really really, really tough opponents
23:33
Speaker 15: that that are going to be good games. And so
23:36
Speaker 15: we're excited about playing those two games.
23:38
Speaker 13: And like I said earlier, and am consolidated pretty experienced
23:43
Speaker 13: squad this season, but there are still holes to be
23:47
Speaker 13: filled from seniors that left. So who are some players
23:51
Speaker 13: that you expect to take a step up and fill
23:54
Speaker 13: those fill those holes this season?
23:57
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, I think you know, offensively, I only
24:01
Speaker 15: return to really really one starter on the offensive line.
24:06
Speaker 15: Uh and so uh, you know, really just a new
24:09
Speaker 15: group up front. So I'm gonna need all those guys
24:11
Speaker 15: to step up and perform well. But amar and Moore
24:15
Speaker 15: at receiver is uh is potentially going to be a
24:17
Speaker 15: really special receiver. Uh and it's going to have a
24:20
Speaker 15: huge year for US. So he's he's transitioning from quarterback
24:24
Speaker 15: to receiver and uh and I think he's going to
24:26
Speaker 15: be special for US.
24:28
Speaker 16: Uh.
24:28
Speaker 15: So kids like Mariy you know, Chunky are running back
24:31
Speaker 15: to Marlon Mooring. He's been on varsity since his sophomore
24:33
Speaker 15: year and he's been really solid running back. I expect
24:37
Speaker 15: him to have a breakout year this year. Joe Young
24:41
Speaker 15: Uh at tight end, UH need him to need him
24:44
Speaker 15: to step up and have a big season for US.
24:46
Speaker 15: And then uh, defensively, Jackson Solomon's a returning starter who
24:50
Speaker 15: needs to step into a leadership role. Leo Beffert, same
24:53
Speaker 15: type of deal. Returning starter needs to step into a
24:55
Speaker 15: leadership role. And then you know, really we need to
24:59
Speaker 15: find and a d lineman or two that is ready
25:02
Speaker 15: to step into a you know, not a big time role,
25:05
Speaker 15: but somebody who's going to step in there and play
25:07
Speaker 15: a bunch of snaps for us and be a solid
25:09
Speaker 15: player for us.
25:10
Speaker 13: All right, coach, last question for you here. After going
25:14
Speaker 13: two rounds deep into the playoffs last season nine to
25:17
Speaker 13: three finish before getting knocked out by Port Arthur Memorial,
25:21
Speaker 13: who also knocked out the college station Cougar's in the
25:24
Speaker 13: next round, So what is success going to look like
25:28
Speaker 13: for the Tigers this year and what are.
25:30
Speaker 14: The keys to get there?
25:31
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know, we tell our kids our program, we
25:35
Speaker 15: want our program to be, you know, one of the
25:37
Speaker 15: top you know eight programs in the state of Texas
25:40
Speaker 15: year in and year out. We want to be playing
25:42
Speaker 15: in December. We want to be a team that's mentioned
25:46
Speaker 15: a year in and year out as a team that's
25:48
Speaker 15: got an opportunity to play for a state championship. And
25:51
Speaker 15: right now, that's not where our program is we haven't
25:53
Speaker 15: I would say, we haven't reached that status yet. And
25:57
Speaker 15: so you know, for us, a successful season on the
25:59
Speaker 15: field is going to be playing in December. It's going
26:01
Speaker 15: to be you know, getting to the quarterfinals and be
26:04
Speaker 15: playing games in December. That that's really kind of where
26:08
Speaker 15: we want our program to be.
26:09
Speaker 17: Uh.
26:09
Speaker 15: You know, in order to get there, it takes a
26:11
Speaker 15: lot of things. Number one, it takes uh, it takes
26:13
Speaker 15: staying healthy. Number two, it takes a little bit of
26:17
Speaker 15: luck on the draw from you know, your your playoff opponents.
26:20
Speaker 3: Uh.
26:20
Speaker 15: And I think number three and maybe most important is
26:23
Speaker 15: is your players. Your team has to love each other
26:28
Speaker 15: and love playing football with each other. I think so
26:31
Speaker 15: many times, you know, teams that that lose in the playoffs,
26:33
Speaker 15: they are teams that are really good, and they are
26:35
Speaker 15: teams that are talented and can win, but when they
26:38
Speaker 15: get to you know, November, they're they're tired of playing football.
26:42
Speaker 15: You know, the seasons are grind and it's a it's
26:44
Speaker 15: a long tough season, and the kids have to love
26:46
Speaker 15: each other and they have to be close knit, and
26:48
Speaker 15: they have to want to play football. So uh, you know,
26:51
Speaker 15: for me, those those three things are always the things
26:54
Speaker 15: when you see teams who play in December. Uh, they're healthy,
26:57
Speaker 15: and they love each other, and they love playing football
27:00
Speaker 15: with each other, and they got a good playoff draw.
27:02
Speaker 13: All right, coach, Well, I appreciate your time today. Good
27:04
Speaker 13: luck this season.
27:05
Speaker 15: Absolutely, I appreciate you. Thank you.

33:27
Speaker 22: Uh.
33:28
Speaker 8: Terry Hendrix was terrific.
33:31
Speaker 11: It was just.
33:33
Speaker 8: It was a great evening and really really fun to
33:42
Speaker 8: to have those folks with us.
33:44
Speaker 5: And and.
33:48
Speaker 7: I hope you can get out there, uh, and what
33:51
Speaker 7: they're doing for for singers and songwriters. And I learned
33:55
Speaker 7: last night there's gonna be a singer songwriter festival in October.
33:59
Speaker 7: That's going to be and there are some great people
34:02
Speaker 7: coming in for that for two days. All right, onto
34:08
Speaker 7: our SEC preview. You know, the Aggies were on their
34:11
Speaker 7: way to a really special season last year, but faltered
34:14
Speaker 7: in their last two games. They were turned five starters
34:18
Speaker 7: on offense, but also add needed offensive line experience from
34:23
Speaker 7: the portal. The biggest issue is Marcel Reid's development at quarterback.
34:28
Speaker 7: Reid says he knows he has to improve in several areas.
34:33
Speaker 21: I want to go up in, you know, passing touchdowns
34:36
Speaker 21: and rushing touchdowns definitely ours, and completion percentage as well.
34:40
Speaker 21: I think all that being said, need I need to
34:43
Speaker 21: eliminate the turnovers for sure. It's been talked about and
34:47
Speaker 21: I know it. It's obvious. So just that eliminate turnovers
34:51
Speaker 21: for myself and not making bad plays worse.
34:53
Speaker 7: Defensively, the secondary has a chance to be special, but
34:57
Speaker 7: the team suffered heavy losses up front, and linebacker Damian
35:01
Speaker 7: Sanford is recovering from a spring game injury and it
35:05
Speaker 7: remains to be seen if we'll play in the first
35:07
Speaker 7: few games. Sanford understands that it or to be better.
35:11
Speaker 7: This unit has to be focused every play.
35:14
Speaker 3: I feel like if you stay more consistent, like you
35:16
Speaker 3: have a lot more success. You know, like not being consistent,
35:20
Speaker 3: you got a lot of like things happened during during
35:22
Speaker 3: the season. You have you know, ups and downs during games,
35:27
Speaker 3: you have like that, you create bad habits and stuff
35:29
Speaker 3: like that. So I feel like being consistent this year
35:31
Speaker 3: is gonna help us progress.
35:33
Speaker 7: A and M has five road conference games and at
35:37
Speaker 7: Gauntlin November, at South Carolina, at Oklahoma, home games against
35:42
Speaker 7: Tennessee and Texas. Elko says finishing strong will be the
35:46
Speaker 7: difference this year.
35:47
Speaker 22: We know we've got a challenging schedule. Everybody in this
35:50
Speaker 22: league does. As we've added the ninth game. We're playing
35:53
Speaker 22: five on the road. That's going to make for big challenges,
35:56
Speaker 22: but those are challenges as a program that we're ready
35:58
Speaker 22: to meet head on. We're excited for the opportunity to
36:01
Speaker 22: go out and compete, to finish at a better clip
36:04
Speaker 22: than we have the last two years, and to start
36:07
Speaker 22: bringing trophy and hardware to college station.
36:09

Speaker 27: The Houston Astros continue their home stand against division opponents
41:17
Speaker 27: tonight as they welcome the Angels for a three game series.
41:20
Speaker 27: So far, the Astros have the season series lead over
41:23
Speaker 27: the Halo six games to four, with the Astros sweeping
41:26
Speaker 27: their most recent meeting in late July. The pitching battle
41:29
Speaker 27: will be interesting as George Classon takes the mound for
41:31
Speaker 27: La against Christian Javier for Houston. Both right handersavres well
41:36
Speaker 27: over five and then well over six for Xavier. While
41:38
Speaker 27: the Angels don't look scary by their record, their offense
41:41
Speaker 27: can still deal some damage, with Mike Trout and Zach
41:43
Speaker 27: Netto tied with twenty home runs, but neither stand in
41:46
Speaker 27: comparison to yord On Alvarez, who's betting three twenty one
41:49
Speaker 27: on the year with thirty six over the fence for Houston.
41:51
Speaker 27: The key for the Astros will be limiting home runs,
41:54
Speaker 27: as the Angels are twenty and eight when they hit
41:56
Speaker 27: at least two home runs. First pitch is set for
41:58
Speaker 27: seven to ten from dyke In Park with coverage on
42:00
Speaker 27: the Space City Home Network. With your Houston Astros Report,
42:03

42:07
Speaker 7: College football offenses are going back to old school tempo
42:12
Speaker 7: is dead.
42:13
Speaker 8: Defenses have caught up. Have you seen that? Have you
42:16
Speaker 8: noticed that?
42:17
Speaker 28: Yeah? Well, o' Conwelly had a really good story late
42:20
Speaker 28: last week about trends in college football, and that was
42:24
Speaker 28: one of them too. You know, Ohio State famously on
42:28
Speaker 28: a famous thing and a lot of people realized it
42:29
Speaker 28: until late in the year. They were the second slowest
42:32
Speaker 28: team in college football, and it kind of goes against
42:36
Speaker 28: conventional wisdom because if you've got the best team, you
42:39
Speaker 28: want the most plays. One interesting thing about that, which
42:42
Speaker 28: I hadn't thought about, but it makes obviously makes sense,
42:44
Speaker 28: is teams going for in. Part of the story too,
42:48
Speaker 28: was how there's less drive, teams are going slower and
42:52
Speaker 28: there's less offensive possession, and part of that is because
42:55
Speaker 28: teams are going forward on fourth down more and having
42:57
Speaker 28: greater success.
42:58
Speaker 4: Hang out with Louie Day's eleven to two and was
43:01
Speaker 4: only eleven and fifty am and ninety three point seven
43:04
Speaker 4: that film.
43:20
Speaker 1: A Little Bird, Don't see the Bone now INDUSU sady
43:29
Speaker 1: to falling? Watch the over on no indusive?
43:42
Speaker 5: So the thoughts, the go back.
43:49
Speaker 11: Picture of that, the.
43:53
Speaker 7: Window game, Welcome back, thanks for it big with us.
43:58
Speaker 7: You're here on a good day. We are celebrating the
44:01
Speaker 7: recording of Viva Terlingua and Lukenbach, Texas. On this date,
44:07
Speaker 7: August eighteenth, nineteen seventy three, the birth of an entire
44:16
Speaker 7: music scene was launched. The birth of a town basically
44:25
Speaker 7: was launched. Nobody knew anything about Lukenbach, Texas. Maybe maybe
44:34
Speaker 7: a few people who lived in Fredericksburg, but it it
44:41
Speaker 7: became a hangout.
44:44
Speaker 8: Jerry jeff knew about it.
44:46
Speaker 7: He and Hondo Crouched, the unofficial mayor of Luke and Bach,
44:49
Speaker 7: were great friends.
44:52
Speaker 8: And he picked this old old dance hall to do
44:58
Speaker 8: this album.
45:01
Speaker 7: They drove a production truck with all the equipment from
45:06
Speaker 7: New York. It barely made it. Plugged it in outside
45:11
Speaker 7: because there wasn't room inside, put up some posters. By
45:17
Speaker 7: the way, that poster is iconic and will cost you
45:19
Speaker 7: a fortune if you can get a hold of one.
45:24
Speaker 8: And it made the cover of the Viva Lingua album.
45:30
Speaker 7: So the rest, as we like to say, is history. Okay,
45:38
Speaker 7: Mike Elco met with reporters today and we want to
45:45
Speaker 7: thank coach Elco for making players available, for making coaches available,
45:49
Speaker 7: for making himself available on a regular basis. We have
45:55
Speaker 7: had years many around here that that wasn't always the case,
46:00
Speaker 7: so it's nice to have a coach who understands media availability.
46:07
Speaker 5: I think you could see a lot of things in practice, obviously.
46:10
Speaker 22: I think you can identify a lot of things just
46:14
Speaker 22: from years of experience doing it and knowing what it
46:16
Speaker 22: should look like. I think the biggest challenge you always
46:19
Speaker 22: have in fall camp. And this is I think is
46:21
Speaker 22: our biggest as we're battling through This is is there's
46:24
Speaker 22: not a lot of relative comparison that you've played with
46:28
Speaker 22: on a field in SEC football, right, And that's where
46:31
Speaker 22: you know, if you had just lost the old line
46:33
Speaker 22: and you knew what the D line was, or you
46:35
Speaker 22: just lost the D line and you knew what the
46:36
Speaker 22: old line was.
46:37
Speaker 5: We've got two groups battling that are all.
46:40
Speaker 22: Relative unknowns, right, And so I think until you get
46:42
Speaker 22: to September fifth and start rolling it out there against
46:45
Speaker 22: competitive people's it'll be a little bit of a wait
46:47
Speaker 22: and see, we'll go to the.
46:49
Speaker 27: Right Alex, you know, just what was kind of your
46:52
Speaker 27: evaluation of the scrimmage this weekend?
46:54
Speaker 12: Things you thought you guys did well and things are
46:56
Speaker 12: trying to talk with your guys about continuing to improve as.
46:58
Speaker 22: Fall Campington, Yeah, I thought, you know, typical first scrimmage
47:01
Speaker 22: in fall camp.
47:02
Speaker 5: I thought, operationally, we did good. I think one of
47:04
Speaker 5: the things about the way we.
47:06
Speaker 22: Run camp is is we start operationally from day one,
47:09
Speaker 22: moving at a pace and a speed that is game like.
47:12
Speaker 5: And so you know that hopefully means.
47:14
Speaker 22: That there's not a big shock when we get in
47:15
Speaker 22: there for scrimmage one and there wasn't And so I
47:17
Speaker 22: thought both sides of the ball functioned operationally at a
47:20
Speaker 22: really really good level. I thought there was inconsistency both
47:24
Speaker 22: sides of the ball. I think that's that's naturally what
47:26
Speaker 22: happens in a first scrimmage.
47:28
Speaker 5: And so now you've got, you know, a marker of
47:30
Speaker 5: where you are, and now you've got two weeks to
47:32
Speaker 5: really grind through to kind of you know, get everything
47:35
Speaker 5: where you needed to be for the season to start.
47:38
Speaker 29: Kind of the left will use folk very highly about
47:42
Speaker 29: your thoughts on the secondary. So I want to ask you,
47:44
Speaker 29: how is that fronts that come along particularly you gotta
47:47
Speaker 29: touched some of the interior, because that.
47:51
Speaker 5: Was an interesting question to you.
47:54
Speaker 22: Started with the secondaries, I was ready to answer a
47:57
Speaker 22: secondary question.
47:58
Speaker 5: Then we rolled into the D line front seven. On defense,
48:00
Speaker 5: I think it's good.
48:01
Speaker 22: I think we have a lot of bodies that are
48:03
Speaker 22: capable of going out there and helping us. I think
48:05
Speaker 22: the competition has been really really intense. Uh, it's playing
48:08
Speaker 22: out like we hoped it would, which was, you know,
48:11
Speaker 22: we felt like we had to go elevate the whole
48:13
Speaker 22: level of everything, and so you brought in some guys
48:16
Speaker 22: and you want to see them compete.
48:17
Speaker 5: And so you see Ray Cooney and Noah McHale and.
48:19
Speaker 22: Jordan Lockhart out there competing every day trying to earn
48:23
Speaker 22: opportunities to play this year. And I think because of that,
48:26
Speaker 22: all three of them are elevating every day. I think
48:28
Speaker 22: you got the same thing at end, you got the
48:30
Speaker 22: same thing at de tackle, and so it's been good.
48:33
Speaker 22: It's been really competitive. I think we're starting to see
48:35
Speaker 22: it rise and the level rise to where we want
48:37
Speaker 22: it to be. And you know, we're, you know, getting
48:39
Speaker 22: close to halfway through camp and it's got to keep
48:41
Speaker 22: going r.
48:45
Speaker 5: S O the rest of camp.
48:47
Speaker 22: When you may want to ram down and when you're
48:49
Speaker 22: going to get kind of depth.
48:51
Speaker 5: Chart somewhat yeah, I don't the depth chart is.
48:54
Speaker 22: I don't know. She'll put it out at some point
48:56
Speaker 22: and it won't be right. But in terms of like
48:59
Speaker 22: ramp down, we're still in the grind of it. I
49:02
Speaker 22: think this week is the challenging week in my opinion,
49:05
Speaker 22: because you know, the the time between the first scrimmage
49:08
Speaker 22: and you know we'll go in the stadium again on Sunday.
49:10
Speaker 22: We want scrimmage, but we'll go in the stadium again
49:12
Speaker 22: and do a situational practice and and I think between
49:16
Speaker 22: the two that's the hardest part of camp because that's
49:19
Speaker 22: the you know, dead smack in the middle. Nothing seems
49:21
Speaker 22: like it's it's uh on the horizon. The game still
49:24
Speaker 22: seems pretty far away. And you know, for two practices,
49:26
Speaker 22: I think we handled it really well and so we
49:29
Speaker 22: got to keep going the rest of the week.
49:30
Speaker 5: It's a big challenge.
49:31
Speaker 22: What are leftronics like, uh, what's the competition like been
49:35
Speaker 22: at the place taking and especially those two.
49:38
Speaker 4: Guys that you're kind of cheerleader in the camp.
49:40
Speaker 5: What's step out?
49:41
Speaker 22: Yeah, I think they've been really really good. I think
49:43
Speaker 22: they've been more consistent. I think you know, we've got
49:47
Speaker 22: range and depth, which has been really good. And so
49:50
Speaker 22: I think both those guys are kicking at a really
49:51
Speaker 22: high level the right.
49:53
Speaker 30: Tony Wood last week at Taco or Ashtans or Sakoo
49:56
Speaker 30: just putting full heads on and how that kind of
49:58
Speaker 30: reaches the elevation of like the tensity and he really said,
50:01
Speaker 30: you know, because we go so hard, it doesn't really
50:03
Speaker 30: ramp it up that much from your perspective, you see
50:05
Speaker 30: it that way and just the way guys worked that
50:07
Speaker 30: maybe it's just kind of you know, is what it
50:09
Speaker 30: is when.
50:10
Speaker 5: The fullhead or on.
50:10
Speaker 22: Yeah, that's the hope, you know, the the hope for
50:12
Speaker 22: us is is whether we're in helmets, whether we're in uppers,
50:15
Speaker 22: whether we're in full pads, at the pace and the
50:17
Speaker 22: tempo that we're going at it never drops, never changes.
50:21
Speaker 5: And I think, uh, we have a group that I
50:23
Speaker 5: think understands that.
50:24
Speaker 22: Obviously year three, certainly the guys that have been with
50:26
Speaker 22: us all the way through have a good feeling for
50:29
Speaker 22: what the expectation and what the standard is. And certainly
50:32
Speaker 22: the new guys, I think having gone through spring and
50:34
Speaker 22: now into fall camp a little bit, I think understand
50:37
Speaker 22: kind of what the pace and what the tempo is.
50:39
Speaker 22: And you know, we think that for us is an
50:41
Speaker 22: advantage for for why we've been able to start well
50:43
Speaker 22: in seasons, will stay in the right.
50:46
Speaker 7: That like all what do you people on all things
50:49
Speaker 7: like specifically, it is a little bit more unique to.
50:51
Speaker 22: Hearing them see in the past, home in Wiggans is
50:55
Speaker 22: calling plays and so that's unique because that hasn't happened before.
50:59
Speaker 22: Now with them choking a little bit like Yeah, it's
51:02
Speaker 22: gonna look to the to the Native Ey, it's going
51:04
Speaker 22: to look very very similar. And so I think we've
51:06
Speaker 22: got a lot of weapons. I think we're trying to
51:07
Speaker 22: figure out creatively how to get the ball to the
51:10
Speaker 22: guys that we think can help impact the game. And
51:13
Speaker 22: I think, again, at those skill positions, you've got a
51:16
Speaker 22: lot of capable people fighting and scratching for touches, you know.
51:19
Speaker 5: I think home It will do a really really good.
51:21
Speaker 22: Job of finding creative ways to make sure we're getting
51:24
Speaker 22: the ball in the right people's hands.
51:27
Speaker 14: Maybe the coordinators or so the new roles and what's
51:30
Speaker 14: the big teams are.
51:33
Speaker 22: Yeah, I think both guys are doing a really really
51:35
Speaker 22: good job. I think again, there's a lot of organization
51:38
Speaker 22: that goes into camp. It's a little bit different than
51:41
Speaker 22: actually being a game week coordinator. I think when you
51:44
Speaker 22: talk about training camp, you're talking about organizational, You're talking
51:49
Speaker 22: about mentality, setting the right mindset. I don't think being
51:53
Speaker 22: an OC in training camp is what anybody outside of
51:55
Speaker 22: this building actually thinks it is. It's not about calling
51:58
Speaker 22: plays at all in training camp. So I think both
52:00
Speaker 22: guys are doing a really really good job. And I
52:03
Speaker 22: think the mindset for both sides of the ball is
52:05
Speaker 22: really coming into what we wanted to be.
52:07
Speaker 14: That great harder just kind of.
52:11
Speaker 24: Quarterbacks and scrimage and more self particular event.
52:14
Speaker 5: And not a big versus big part of Hamas. What
52:18
Speaker 5: are you seeing difference?
52:18
Speaker 22: WI, Yeah, I think I think, first of all, he
52:23
Speaker 22: took care of the football better last year than anyone's
52:25
Speaker 22: given him credit for it.
52:26
Speaker 5: So I think, first of all, I think.
52:27
Speaker 22: That nobody's ever actually asked me that, but a lot
52:30
Speaker 22: of his picks last year that took that number to
52:32
Speaker 22: where it went. We're end of game, pressing games, trying
52:35
Speaker 22: to catch up, and I think there's times where in
52:37
Speaker 22: those situations you're going to put the ball at risk
52:39
Speaker 22: more naturally. And so you know, for a large part
52:43
Speaker 22: of the season last year, I thought he protected the
52:45
Speaker 22: ball really well, and even down the stretch outside I
52:47
Speaker 22: thought the worst game was South Carolina. I thought, outside
52:49
Speaker 22: of the South Carolina game, a lot of that was
52:51
Speaker 22: pressing type situations. But I think he's taken the step
52:54
Speaker 22: we hoped he would take. I think he's much more comfortable,
52:57
Speaker 22: much more confident, knows the reeves, knows what the progressions
53:00
Speaker 22: need to look like. I think his footwork looks cleaner,
53:02
Speaker 22: the ball delivery looks cleaner, and so.
53:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, again excited for him.
53:06
Speaker 22: And then I think Brady continues to grow and develop
53:08
Speaker 22: and you know, excited for what he's doing and how
53:11
Speaker 22: he's working out there.
53:12
Speaker 25: We'll wrap up with Alex.
53:13
Speaker 22: You're right, Ho's dang it continued to progress throughout this
53:16
Speaker 22: preseason really well.
53:19
Speaker 11: Thank you.
53:20
Speaker 5: Yep, thanks guys.
53:24
Speaker 8: Love the two word answers and the sparring.
53:33
Speaker 7: I think he enjoys that. That was coach Elco. We'll
53:37
Speaker 7: hear from Homan Wiggins tomorrow. He also answered questions in
53:41
Speaker 7: the media today following practice. Next week they will make
53:47
Speaker 7: defensive coordinator a little Himphill available again. There'll be some
53:52
Speaker 7: players yet to be announced that that we'll be able
53:56
Speaker 7: to visit with on Friday.
53:59
Speaker 8: And not too long.
54:01
Speaker 7: It's just it was a halfway point of fall camp
54:05
Speaker 7: today and Elko talked about it. Man, it's it's grind
54:08
Speaker 7: city right now. It is hot, it is not game
54:12
Speaker 7: week there in the middle of all of this, and
54:16
Speaker 7: it's that's just that's part of it, man, That's that's
54:20
Speaker 7: the way it works. We're gonna close out the hour.
54:24
Speaker 7: I want to say again, Thank you to Kyle the
