  Speaker 3: He's up a Arlington, Texas for the Texas Coach's Leadership Summit,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: where he spoke at today, so get a rundown for him.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: A busy weekend for Craig, of course, he was in Columbia,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: South Carolina for the Texas men's basketball team as they
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: suffered a billow big blow to their NCAA tournament chances,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: falling to the South Carolina eighty four to sixty nine
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: at Colonial Life Arena. Trey Johnson had twenty nine points,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: a game high, but with Texas lost just the third
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: time these two schools had met since the nineteen eighty
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: one or sorry, the third time meeting overall first time
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: since the nineteen eighty one season. Trey Johnson eleven of
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: twenty one, three to seven from beyond the arc, four
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: or four at the line, three rebounds, really the only
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: long Coruner with a sign of life shooting the basketball
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: in that game. Kidd and Shedwick five blocks, went away
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: from a career high nine rebounds, eight points and thirty minutes.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: But it was a Texas team that just got kind
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: of outplayed from the beginning. In South Carolina kind of
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: played with urgency, the sense of urgency that Rtie has
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: talked about, came out firing from the gate and played
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: like a team that had nothing to lose. It in
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Texas just kind of came out slow. You know, it
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: had not played since the Saturday before that huge win
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: over Kentucky, had the midleweek break and we hoped it
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: would be a good time for the team to kind
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: of heal up. But still no Kindle. He continues the
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: miss games with that hip fluxure injury. Arthur Arthur Klumba
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: did come back, but only played off the bench. The
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Von Pryor got some playing time as well. But Texas,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: you know, they had a five to four to lead
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: in that game, and then that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Was pretty much it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: South Carolina would score eight straight points the next three
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and a half minutes to grab a twelve to five lead.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Jason Kent made it a twenty to twelve game with
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: just over seven to play before South Carolina scored back
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: to back buckets would go up twenty four. The twelve
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Colin Murray Bows had a big dunk just under the
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: six minute mark Jason Kent a lamp would cut it
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: to a ten point game with just over ninety seconds
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: to play in that opening half, but the game clocks
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: would finish the last minute and forty seven seconds on
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: an eight to nothing run. Would go in the halftime
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: leading by eighteen points, all the momentum in the game,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: and then kind of just cruised on through the second half.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Led by twenty two points in the second half, with
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: just under seven minutes to play in the contest, Texas
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: would go on a little thirteen to two scoring spurt
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: would cut it to an eleven point game, which is
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: over three minutes to go, but that was it. South
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Coolin would go on the win eighty four to sixty nine. Texas,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: now sixteen and eleven have dropped to five and nine
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: in conference play and we'll take on Arkansas Wednesday night.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: After the game, Craig Way and Eddie Orron visited with
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Texas Long Worn's head coach Rodney Terry.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Visiting with the head coach Rodney Terry.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Arnty, you said it before the game, and you've said
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: the last few days that this was a dangerous team,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: that they were coming to bed at some point, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I guess it's a combination of them doing a lot
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: of things right and then your ballclamb unable to get
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: the momentum going that you need in the first half.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Well, every game we go into I make sure I
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: guess it's prepared for what they're about to go into.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Theo's a physical team that's had a chance to win
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: a lot of games in this building and realistily have
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: about five wins in conference. Playing at don't but they
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: played great at home. We didn't play really physical at home.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Yew physical does our toughness in the first half, and
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: we didn't respond.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: We didn't respond.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: You know, we have to again, you know, come in
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: and put it on emphasis on deepest play as hard
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: as we can play, and we didn't do that tonight.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: How difficult is that?
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: For for you and for the coaches when you see
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: it happening early and maybe they don't get the indication
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: of it early on the floor when that physical Uh,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: you might say the dominance is being established by South Carolina.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: And what and what you were trying to get your
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: guys to do to respond.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, we call time out to try to get
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: that point across. And again, you know, they had a
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: really good player on the floor there tonight. He's I mean,
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: he's one of the top five best players in this league.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: And when you're going in, we got to try to
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: do a good job with them. I mean, he's he's
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: a herd. He's a hard matchup, you know. And then
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: we didn't. We didn't have that match up very well.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: You made a push second half, you cut a twenty
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: two point deficit in half down to eleven at one
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: point in the second half. There, I saw some energy
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: out of your guys. Is that kind of what the
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: what has to be stressed during the course of the
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: week as you get ready for that game back in Arkansas.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's out about it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: This week is about trying to play tournament basketball right now.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: You know, in terms of understanding that you have one
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: bad half. You know, you don't play a forty many games, then.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Your season's over. And understanding the urgency you have to play.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: With this time of the year.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: You can't wait for March to try trying to play
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: that way. Really try to impercize that the guys on
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: the boy it want to start playing that way right now.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Against a team that we knew that plays really well
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: at home.
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: Well, you got some big games come up. You got
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: to put this one behind and go forward.
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: And you know, good shooters have short memories, good teams
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: have short mambor. We've got to go put these next
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: few games ahead of us and make some hate.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Keep it for one night, but you got to you
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: got to come and compete in this league every night.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Any team can beat you on any given night if
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: you're not ready to play.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: And you know, we weren't ready to play in the
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: first half or whatever reason to get off.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: We didn't get off to a great start. But you
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: got to still continue to.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Work the game.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: So where does that leave Texas's chances of making the
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: NCAA tournament.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Well nil.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Paint from the ESPN posts today a bracket bubble update
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and list the Texas chances of making the tournament right
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: now at just fifty two percent. No paying rights to
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: the long runs, keep taking one step forward and then
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: two steps back. Had that huge win over Kentucky. After
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: entry that game on a three game losing three game
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: losing skid, but then losing to South Carolina in a
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: game that they were favored, they went from being a
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: sixty seven percent chance of making the tournament that just
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: fifty two percent. Net ranking is still in the thirties,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: but the Texas Longhorn strength to record is barely top fifty.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: They're three to nine against top fifty teams in South
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Carolina delt them a second loss to teams outside the
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: top fifty, which won't help their case with the committee.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Texas now will take on Arkansas on Wednesday night, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Arkansas comes in at just a forty three percent chance
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: of making the tournament. So this game tomorrow night not
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: only is a must I'm sorry, Wednesday night not only
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: a must win for Texas, also a must win for Arkansas,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: who will be at home and already has beaten Texas.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: So an Arkansas team that came out very physical, very
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: aggressive against the Longhorns at Moody Center earlier this season
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: had a double edgiit lead in that first half. Texas
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: was able to trim it down the single digits, but
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Arkansas would eventually go on to win that game. So
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: it's an Arkansas team that probably is not afraid of Texas.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: You know, we've already beat them before. We're at home,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: we're on our court, and we got to win this game.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: So that's going to be a real uphill bat for
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: the Longhorns.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Of course, Texas coming off lost South Carolina, maybe that
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: will lad a fire underneath them. You heard our tea
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: talk about having that sense of urgency. Taxes run out
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: of time here, it's only only four games with the
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: go in the season, and they are not a lot
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: for the tournament. And now four games left, and three
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: of the four games are playing against Oklahoma, Arkansas and
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: then Georgia. Those three teams are fighting for their tournament's lives.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: They're fighting for the live to make the tournament. So
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: every game for me here now is a must win game,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: not only for Texas but pretty much for the team
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: they're playing.
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: And the other game at Missippi State, you.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Know, a team that's been in the top twenty five
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: rankings all season long. A're gonna be hosting Texas at home.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: You know, they're fighting for a better seed in the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: conference tournament and also a better seed in the NCAA Tournament.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: They're probably the only team on the Texas schedule that
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: has a lock for the NCAA Tournament. So Texas does
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: trouble ahead and it starts with Arkansas Wednesday night against
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: a very well coached Calipari team in the Arkansas Razorbacks.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: They blasted Missouri was it last week? Were not really blasted,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: but beating by seven at home. Came down to the
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: wire against Number one Auburn earlier in the week, lost
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: by ony seven points. So it's an Arkansas team that's
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: been you know, it's a very good team. It's a
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: tough conference. And I did not think their record when
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: they came in the Texas really indicated how much they
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: have on the team. I mean, they have a couple
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: of guards that gave the Longhorns back court some trouble.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Janelle Davis, the former FAU owl we went to the
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: final four before the Atlantic. He's fast, he's physical, six
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: foot four, you know, he's a big dude. And then
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Dj Wagner, you know who transferred to Kentucky. He's also
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: six foot four, so the length in the size, in
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: the height of Arkansas's backcourt gave Texas a lot of trouble. Now,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: one thing Texas didn't have Kendall Weaver in that first meeting.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: It's Arkansas.
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: That's the key.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Ken Texas get Kendall Weaver back next week, and the
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: last thing we heard from Marte was he was still
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: out indefinitely. I think the hope was to get him
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: back last weekend and not get him back in time.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: It's a hip luxure injury. So hopefully we'll get kend
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: the Weaver back on Wednesday night because Texas will definitely
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: need him against a really talented Arkansas backcourt. But just
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: four games up to go, Texas is in must win
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Terry troth. They were already in it, but now well,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: there is no margin for air. After the loss to
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: South Carolina last Saturday night mentioned the Texas women's basketball
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: number one for the first time in twenty one years,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: will take on Georgia tonight. You can listen to that
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: on one O three to one, Austin's eighty station five
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: forty five airtimes six o'clock tip off. Roger Wallace and
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Kathy Harston on the call. You can also watch the
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: game on SEC Network. We're through the first hour and
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: now almost the second hour. We'll be back to wrap
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: up hour two and we're gonna give away some tickets.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: So stay tuned to that and get that iHeart app
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: ready for a chance to win. Greig Wait show continues
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: after this. Okay, let's pivot from college athletics to the NFL.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: What is the most popular or sorry, let me rephrase it.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: What is the most polarizing play in the NFL?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Right now?
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: It's a touch push, right, or if you're an Eagles fan,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: you might call it the brotherly chef Well, an NFL
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: team that has been identified by the Athletic as the
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Green Bay Packers have submitted a role proposal to ban
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: the tush push a quarterback sneak. On Monday, Troy Vincent,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: the NFL's executive vice president of football Operations, told reporters
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: so they had the scouting Combine that a team, which
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: he did not identify, had made the proposal during a
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: break in between meetings between the NFL officials and the
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Competition Committee. To the Washington post in the NFL Network. Now,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: the Athletic came out about twenty five minutes ago that
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: it was Green Bay that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: Has submitted the role change. So how does this work?
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Well, NFL owners could vote on the proposal next month
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: at the spring owners meeting in Paul Meats, Florida, unless
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: the Packers decide to withdraw its proposal. If it goes
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: to a vote, twenty four of the NFL's thirty two
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: owners would have to vote in favor for it to pass.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Keyboard his owners, it's not coaches, it's not players, it's
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: NFL owners have to vote. So twenty four of the
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: thirty two NFL team the owners have to vote in
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: favor for the rule to pash to pass. Oh, pash,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: pash rush, Little Collins Wort there teams all. You know,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: every season we have teams voting for different rule proposals
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: each year. Last season was what the the hip drop
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: tackle rule that was made illegal. Well, we see the
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: tush push become illegal. Troy Vincent said, we do have
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: a club playing rule proposal around the tush push. It's
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the way they deemed it, the tush push. It's on
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: our agenda. The club proposal is we need to make
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: some adjustments to that. Is that a viable football play?
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: End quote Now, this rule or this this play has
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: been examined by the NFL and the Competition Compittee Committee
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: in the last two seasons, but no action has been taken.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: The Eagles and the Bills have combined to run the
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: tush push or the quarterback sneak one hundred and sixty
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: three times in which they deem this play in which
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: a team lines up one or more players behind the
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: quarterback to push them forward against the defense. Keyword, there
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: is one or more players. So not just a quarterback
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: and I formation or sorry, quarterback in the gun by himself.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: It's when you have a running back, a full back,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: of tight end. The Eagles usually have Hurts behind center
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: and then you got what two tight ends and then
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: a running back behind them, so you got four guys
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: in the backfield. That's their version of the tousch push.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Now the role change here is one or more players
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: behind the quarterback. Out of these past three seasons, the
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Eagles and Bills have run the play the most of
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: the NFL combined. They've scored a touchdown or achieved a
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: first down on this play. Eighty seven percent of the time,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: while the rest of the NFL has been successful in
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: just seventy one percent of the time. Of course, remember
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: when the Eagles played the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game. Frankieluvu,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: the former Panthers linebacker now and the Commanders what He
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: jumped over the Eagles offensive line twice to try and
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: stop the play. Sean Hockyley came out and said that
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: he did it a third time. They were gonna get
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Philadelphia touchdown. Before the Super Bowl. Nick Sirianni, the Eagles
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: head coach, noted that and he said it in a statement,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: the success that we have had is not always replicated
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: throughout the entire league. Added, I'm lobbying to never change
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: that role just because we're successful at it. Vincey would
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: also say in the NFL Network quote hip drop and
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: the tush push were in the same conversation three years ago.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: A year ago, we felt like, let's just focus in
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: on the hip drop tackle and the tush push. Just say, hey,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: the Eagles, they do it better than everybody else. But
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: there are some concerns. Our Health and Safety Committee has
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: laid out today with a brief conversation on the injury report.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: There's some challenges, some concerns that they'll share with a
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: broader group tomorrow with the toush push will become a
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: topic of discussion moving into March. End quote Again, the
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Packers could withdraw this role proposal, but if they do not,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: it will go to a vote in March, and again
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: twenty four to thirty two NFL owners have to agree
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: to ban it. This could have some huge implications going
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: forward because it's not just the Eagles and the Bills.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: It's the quarterback sneak and based on the verbia's here,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: it's when one or more players line up behind the
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: quarterback to push them forward. So now some quarterback sneaks
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: right under center and you go, that's it. But the
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Eagles and the Bills have turned it into where you
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: got the you know, two tight ends, running back, full back, whatever,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: and they're the ones that end up kind of, you know,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: helping the quarterback push forward across the line. Now, I
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: think the only angle in which this could you know,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: really get taken away is the health side of it, right,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: is this is this play jeopardizing the health of the
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: offensive lineman, the quarterback defensive lineman. I mean, that's what
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: happened with the hip drop tackle, right, all these roles
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: surrounding the health and safety of the quarterbacks and the players,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: you know, with the hip drop tackle and head the
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: head contact. Only way I can see this play getting
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: becoming illegal is if they focus in on the health
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: safety part of it. Right, if maybe the NFL Competition
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Committee comes in and says, hey, we're finding out the
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: players are getting injured running this play. But so far
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: we have not had that data. And I do not
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: know if we're going to get that data. And I
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: do not think this rule will be overturned or this
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: play will be turned into an illegal play. My thoughts
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: on it, just stop it, you know. It's how what's
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: different between that and quarterback and a running back run. Like,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: if you can't stop it, you can't stop it. I
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: understand it's probably maybe it's a little bit boring, right
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: fourth and one hurt, So here we go. They're going
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: to get it. I mean, it's not one hundred percent
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: of the time. They get it. Eighty seven percent of
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: the time according to ESPN research. But I think you
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: just got to figure out a way to stop it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: That's just part of the game. So we'll see what
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: will happen with this. It does are this will go
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: to vote sometime in March with the NFL owners. Okay,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: let's continue with some more baseball conversation. I promised we
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: would get to Jim Sloschningles postgame interview with Keith Mortlanter.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Texas swept Dartmouth yesterday on the baseball field that UFCU
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Dishwalk field after two just bad days of weather. We
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: finally got some sunshine yesterday after near freezing temperatures on
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Friday and Saturday, but Texas improving to four and one,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: and what stood out was the pitching. Freshman left handed
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: pitcher Dylan Falants pitched four and two thirds scoreless his
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: first career win. Balantis retired twelve of the thirteen batters
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: he faced and retired the first eight he faced. Flants
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: by the way six foot six, two hundred and twelve pounds.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Eithan Mendoza, with three for four, had that solo home
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: run and two runs batted in. That fifteening solo shot
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: was pround to be the co run off the right field.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Foul Pole then added another insurance run in the eighth inning.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: With a RBI single. He's had some fantastic plays at
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: second basement Defensively, Mendoza also got the third base off
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: of era by Dartmouth Tier Rodriguez and then Max Blue
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: would follow that with an run scoring base hit to
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: tie it up one apiece. Kate Being scoring or pitching
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: the first four in a third innings no decision on
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: him being allowed one run off a two hit, struck
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: out two batters. A good bounce back performance for Kate
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: being who started it against Oklahoma State last Sunday, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: I think coach loss said that he was just too
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: fired up too much drennine, but a much much improved
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: outing on Sunday against Dartmouth, allowing only just one run
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: in his second start of the season. Max blou By
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: the way reached four times. Adrian Rodriguez registered his third
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: multi hit game the last four contests. He's playing fantastic
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: baseball in Texas. Now looks to take on incarnate word
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: and improve to five and one and keep that windstreak
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: going after the game, and I apologize the first part
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: of this interview a little shoppy between coach Tim Slashnagle
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: and Keith Mullen, but here Slash and Keith Mullen after
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: the win yesterday at the dish, a.
• 19:23

• 19:41
  Speaker 11: Fishfalk fans, you know, being awesome, great today. But yeah,
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: milanis he's good man, No, he's special. Just trying to
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: do everything with Ken. You know, I got to use
• 19:51
  Speaker 11: my experience and our experience on trying to set a
• 19:55
  Speaker 11: freshman picture up for success in.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: The sec you know.
• 19:57
  Speaker 11: And uh, you know, just trying to get the right
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: role for him to start the year, to give him
• 20:03
  Speaker 11: some confidence and you know.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe he can do some other things later in the year.
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and then you know you've rested a guy yesterday.
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: He comes back today, has a magnificent performance in Sega
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: base It's the ball, the ballpert when you look at Mendoza,
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: look at and you're just trying to find each guy's
• 20:16
  Speaker 10: spot so far.
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you're just trying to figure out who can do
• 20:19
  Speaker 11: what You're trying to give guys opportunities like we did
• 20:22
  Speaker 11: with Bor but yesterday, you know, I'd like to get
• 20:25
  Speaker 11: do plant a Jayden in there some you know, and
• 20:29
  Speaker 11: you're trying to also, you know, the guys that have
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: proven it at some level in the past, or or
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: have the actual physical skills, like like in Easton Winfield,
• 20:36
  Speaker 11: like trying to give him as much rope as he
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: can because I've seen him do it, I've seen him
• 20:40
  Speaker 11: be great. And you you you especially know how this game,
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: when you want to do so well, you can over try.
• 20:47
  Speaker 11: And then when that starts out and then it doesn't
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: matter who you're facing, you can't.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: You it's o to when you wake up in the
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: morning and you know that.
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: It's so important to have victories and do things, but
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: it's got to be fun as well.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: And then that's one of the things you're talking about.
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: You just relax.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: When you have fun, you can be successful.
• 21:03
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you're certainly had My challenge in the team before
• 21:05
  Speaker 11: the game was you know, how would you play this
• 21:07
  Speaker 11: game if you were in Little League? I mean you
• 21:08
  Speaker 11: would just play a care free and really one of
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: the only guys on our team that does it right
• 21:12
  Speaker 11: now is the guy who should be the least care
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: free and next Rodriguez because he's never played before him.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: But he's just playing.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: You know, he's just playing. If he makes a mistake,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: moves on. Other guys were just you know, they're super pressing.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: And then you know last week was was awesome.
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: But you can see how this game can flip around
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: on your heartbeat thinking as we pitch and play a defense. Well,
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: Congressions of the Victor will season two tonight right thanks,
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: Youth Texas back in action tomorrow night at the dish
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: six fifteen Eritime six thirty.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: First pitch. It's a Longhorn's host the University of Incarnate
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Word at the dish. Okay, up next, Craig Way, we'll
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: call into the show get his thoughts on this past
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: weekend here as we continue our number three of this
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Monday program.
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: And it's good afternoon, Creig.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: How you doing, Hey, I'll be home for one night.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Good night. Isn't that a great thing? You know? I
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: had somebody asked me this morning in Arlington.
• 22:04
  Speaker 12: What.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: You have a busy schedule right now? As wow, Yeah,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: because we have the overlap between men's and women's basketball
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: and baseball and some other events. They said, well, what
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: would a typical week look like. I said, well, no
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: week is typical. They're all different. I said, For example,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: I said today, I said, I mean, if you go
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: back to Saturday, there was the game in South Carolina
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: and came back and we got back about two fifteen
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: in the morning, and then there was a new baseball game,
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: so I had that, and I drove up to Darlington
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: last night to him see the leadership summit, which is
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: a fabulous event, and went up to do that and
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: did that today and driving back tonight, and then tomorrow
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I'll fly with men's basketball the Padel, Arkansas and they'll
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: play Wednesday, and then I'll come back late late Wednesday night,
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: and then Thursday I will do Long Worn Weekly, which
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: with Rodney Terry, but andrews Imma will sit in on
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: the show for me because I have to repack and
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: recheck basketball and baseball equipment and then get that to
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: the airport, then come back, do the show, then go
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: to the airport and play to Las Vegas to do
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: the Privy baseball game against Washington Man. We'll be back
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: on a five am Saturday flight and then we have
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: men's basketball Saturday night against Georgia and women's basketball Sunday
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: against Florida, and then Monday you'll be with me. We'll
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: fly to start Bill for a Tuesday night men's game
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Assissippi State. So anyway, Yeah, the road goes on and
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: the party never ends. As Robert Earl Keen would say, right, I.
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: Listed the events happening with Texas this week.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: There is literally something happening every single day this week,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: and I'm not sure we've had it before because we
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: have a women's basketball game to night, baseball game tomorrow,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: men's basketball Wednesday, women's basketball and Longhorn weekly, Thursday, softball
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: and baseball, Saturday, softball and baseball, men's basketball, sorry, softball,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: baseball Friday, softball, men's basketball, baseball Saturday, and then Sunday
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: women's basketball, baseball and softball.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Well, you've heard me from referred to it as the overlap,
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: and it's really overlap Roman numberald two because the first
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: one starts about.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: The tenth of November.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: It actually started the fourth this year early to start
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: ever for men's basketball when we were out in Las Vegas.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: But it usually starts around the tenth of February tenth
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: of November, and then usually ends up about mid to
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: late late December, usually for the bowl game. But now
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: football of course went all the way to January kienth
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: with a Cotton Bowl, so you had that. So that
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: was between football and men's women's basketball. And then the
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: second overlap usually starts around Valentine's weekend, and it did
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: with baseball joining men's and women's basketball, and that goes
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: for a solid six weeks up until about the end
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: of March. If basketball is really successful, obviously the women
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: have a chance to make a deep, deep run in
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: the tournament. We'll see about the men if they can
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: get in and what they can do from there. But
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: you know, it runs so anyway, it's a big part
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: of you know why I got into the business on
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: back way back when I was in college in the eighties.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: I love games. I like to be at the game.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: For anybody to ask if I love the travel, the
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: answer is no, because it does get to be a drain.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I like some of the cities and destinations we go to,
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: but the travel itself can be a bit of a grind.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: But anyway, it's all part of the job. It's part
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: of the deal and it's what I signed up for,
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: so I'm fine with it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: So basically, for the next month or so, there's gonna
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: be a lot of days were Andrew Zimmle, He'll be
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: filling in for you and myself.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: There's a reason he's the six man. Uh, you know.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: And and even though and let me say this, and
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: today's an example, Uh, even though there week days when
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: I'll be out of the studio, uh, in all probability,
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: in most of those days, I'll be checking in for
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: like a segment or two whatever, like like right now.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: So there's place that. Now, Tomorrow is gonna be difficult
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: because because of the takeoff in the afternoon, So I'll
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: probably miss out on Tomorrow. But Winsday obviously I'll I'll
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: be on. I'll check in from Fayettville and then and
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: then I've got art show on Thursday from Pluckers and
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: uh and then Fridy will be in Las Vegas and
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: hopefully I'll be at the mall park and hooked up
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: and check in there. But see, and that's part of
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: this whole thing, Cameron. And You've learned this now as
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: an engineer producer about more than just going to the destination.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: You got to make sure that you're at the facility,
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: that you've got what you need and test and hook
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: up and so on and so forth. And for men's
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: basketball and for football, we have engineers to do that,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: and you're the engineer, primary engineer on men's basketball, women's basketball,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: and baseball. We're kind of a one man man now.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: In the case of the Thursday for you and Roger
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: that's in Starkville, Roger will have the luxury of having
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: you alongside the engineer and be the analyst. But by
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: and large, when we go on the road to do
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: a women's game or a baseball game, it's down to
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: us to make sure we get things soaked up. But
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: I'm used to it. I mean, we've been doing it
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: a long time and so that's okay. So there's definitely
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: not a complaint. It's just it's a statement of how
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: the routine is, and you get into the routine and
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: you do what you gotta do.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: A busy weekend on the baseball front men's basketball as well.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Of course, you traveled to Columbia, South Carolina. Not the
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: result Texas wanted to see, neither the rt But I'll
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: call of lead it up to you, Craig, what do
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: you to get to first and kind of what was
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: your biggest takeaway from both the Jim's lost angles home
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: opening weekend a swee with Dartmouth and then Texas men's
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: basketball really hurting their chances of making the tournament with
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: the loss of South Carolina.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Well, we can start chronologically, uh, And you experienced it
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: firsthand on Saturday, Keith and Roger experienced it on Friday
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: as I was traveling at Columbia, and that was just
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: mind numbing cold. And listen, I always lean on what
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Key says Ufcu. Deshawk Field can be singularly the coldest
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: place on the planet and the hottest place in the
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: same season, because you start in February when that north
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: wind kicks in, and if you've got any kind of precipitation,
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: it can be like that. And it was miserable on
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: Tuesday from when they couldn't play the game, and then uh,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: and then it was bad again obviously on Friday, but
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: it was just mainly and largely cold and then and
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: then obviously it was better on Sunday. Long words, did
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: what they had to do to get the win and
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: to get to win in all three cases, and they
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: nixed some good pitching in with enough enough timely hitting
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: to garner all three wins. Now, clearly Schloss is looking
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: for more out of his offense, but they did enough
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: to do that take a step forward. We'll see if
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: they take another step forward tomorrow when they play UI
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: W Before they had the Las Vegas because they're gonna
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: get tested by Washington, they're gonna get tested clearly by
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Texas Tech, and they're gonna get tested by Illinois, so
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: you ramp up in your tests. And then they have
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: one more home non conference series that'll be Santa Clara,
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: and then you're in the belly of the beast. You
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: start off with duty Noble there in Starkville against Mississippi State,
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: and that's gonna be quite.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: A test with him.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: So you had that in between that. On Saturday was
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: the men's basketball game at Columbia, and I'm sure I
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: saw it with my own eyes that Rodney Terry and
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: his staff have been just pouring over every detail, going back,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: looking every cut up digital video of that deal. They
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: were doing it on the plane. We didn't get home
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: until to fifteen in the morning, late late late Saturday, night,
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: and they were all in it, but they are every
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: game win or lose. If they were diving into it
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: to find out why it wasn't there. The level of
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: physicality they needed wasn't there. South Carolina Robbie been mourning
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: everybody about it. I'd said something about it. They were better,
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: but that the record, you know, Bill Parcell says your
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: record you are, which your record says you are. They
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: were all with thirteen in the conference, but if you
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: look behind the numbers, they had lost six of those
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: games by a combined twenty points. Lost in Florida by
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: one point, in Florida down fourteen in the second half,
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: they lost to A and M. I think by a
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: narrow margin. They lost to Auber by four. So they
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: were right there in some games, but they hadn't got
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: over the hump. But if you gave them a door
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: to walk through, especially with an NBA caliber player that
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: they have at power board, they could want for it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: And they did, and so it did put Texas at
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: a tough spot. Now, I wouldn't say they're on the
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: outside looking in, and I think Toelnardi will do another
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: update tomorrow. But remember they were at the top of
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: the last four byes. I think at the very least
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: they may slide them to the bottom of the last
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: four buys or they might be in the last four
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: in What does that all mean, I don't know, but
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: I know this. They have four games left, two at home,
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: two on the road. Without question, they need to win
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: the two home games because Georgia and Oklahoma are in
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: a worse predicament than the log warns. And if they
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: could find a way to win on Wednesday and Fayetteville
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: or the game in Starkville would be good because they
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: both beat Q one wins. I would submit to you that
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: Arkansas is still in a little more of a dire
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: predicament than Texas, but they're playing that right now. And
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: got that big road win at Missouri that was important
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: for them, and they played Auburn tough, and of course
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: they beat Texas by eight and Austin that was one
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: of those games where they won the physical battle. So
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: I bet that's being preached and coached here starting yesterday
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: and then today it'll be tomorrow as well, because this
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: is gonna be a tough challenge. On Wednesday night in Fayettville.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: And three of the four teams they finished the season
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: against are all in the bubble Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia. So
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Texas is battling those three teams for a tournament spot perhaps,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: and one way to make sure to make the tournament
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: is by beating those three teams. So for Texas, these
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: next four games, I don't know if each single one
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: is a must win, Craig, but you think you got
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: to go possibly at least three and one in the season, Well,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: it would.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Make a big difference if they could do that, I
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: would tell you that. And if they go to and
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: two and only win the home games, they're probably going
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: to have to win a game that you might not
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: expect them to win in Nashville at the tournament to
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: get him in, or they might wind up in Date
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: in the first or something like that. Here's the other
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: thing about all that can And you know this, not
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: only does ESPN do a bubble watch and CBS Sports
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: does that at USA today, I look at several bracket
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: of logical prognostications all the time, and there's always a
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: bubble watch. Well I've been watching that over the weekend.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Now I know for a lot of longhorn pants it
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: doesn't resonate with them. They're not looking at other teams,
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: but I'm watching how teams like wake Forest and SME
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: and some other teams lawns and so that makes a
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: big difference if some other bubble teams are suffering misports.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: But you still have to handle your own business to
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: make it work.
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: He is Craig Way.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: He is on the road again, and we'll be on
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: the road again tomorrow and on Wednesday, and on Thursday
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: and on Friday and pretty much every other day from
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: here on out until ju And hey, Greg.
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: I will not see you tomorrow. I will not see
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: you until next week.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Perhaps.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's that's entirely possible. You might have, By
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: the way, one quick word I want to say about
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: this leadership summit that I am seen. It's a great
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: event in high school coaches from all over the state
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: come in and it's a chance to hear some of
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: the Stinger speech speakers. There's one speaker named Steve Jones
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: who spoke today, and he's really, really inspirational, and he
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: sounded like he sounded like a guy that would be
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: just like what a guy like Kim las Legal would
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: need or somebody else who would need a motivational guy
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: to help guys steer away from fear. Come to find out,
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: the guy is on Matt Lafore staff at Green Bay
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: as a consultant. He has an office, uh and so,
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: and he's written the best selling book called The Two
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: Thieves about and the Thieves are the negative feelings that
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: have a fear of failure and the peer of the
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: of the negative criticism you get from that. It was
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: really really unique and inspiring stuff about all them. Yeah.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Well, we know Slash hired Brian Kane who is kind
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: of like a mental performance coach who he has a
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: book I think called a Mental Performance Mastery. So we're
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: seeing coaches in the sports world kind of gravitates to
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: bringing on mental coaches to help, you know, strengthen up
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: the mental aspect their players in their locker room.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're seeing the mental side. Sark has always
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: said that he has really been intrigued by the mental
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: side of the game, of psychological side of the game.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: And that's a lot of what that that that education
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: summit is that leadership summit. It's about fostering leaders of
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: coaches and what they're trying to uncover in their student
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: athletes to try to inspire them to do bigger and
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: better things. It's a really great event.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Last thing for you, BUCkies, check stop where are you
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: stopping at before you get home to Georgetown, Texas.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I just made a stop at Starbucks a few
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: minutes ago. I was feeling a little tired, so I
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: got an espresso trappaccino and that all to be able
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: to get me all the way back to northern Williamson County.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: All right, well, hey, we will see you, I think
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: next Monday, and we'll get on a plane the Starkville
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: so safe travels to Vadeville.
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: Keep an eye on Eddie Orn for me and best
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: wishes this week.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, And I'll check in with Zimmel and and
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: then obviously we'll hope for the best for basketball and
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: then baseball tomorrow night against UIW with Roger and Keith.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: And like you say, it's it's going onward and upward
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: now as we kind of head Ford March.
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: It's the busy time. All right, Craig, we'll see him.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: You bet you can hear Craig Wednesday night as Texas
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: takes on Arkansas and Fayetteville.
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: He will not be on The Craigway Show this week.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: It will be Andrew Simmo starting tomorrow through Friday, and
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: then next Monday will also be out because well, Craig
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: and I will be in Starkfille, Mississippi, as Texas takes
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: on the Bulldogs. So Craig will be gone from the
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Craigway Show for a little bit. I believe next Wednesday
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: we both will be in studio, but we'll have to
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: double check our travel schedules. We'll continue here on this
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Monday afternoon on thirteen hundred the Zone, and we're back.
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: To the Craigway Show.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Have a message for Craig, share it by using the
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app.
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: Thanks to Craig Wave for.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Calling in on his journey back from Arlington, Texas to Austin, Texas.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: A short journey, a short stay in Austin. He's gonna
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: be here for one night, and then the men's basketball
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: team of Texas travels to Fayetteville, Arkansas. Speaking of traveling,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: our own Roger Wallace is joining us from Things Georgia
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: as a Texas women's basketball team takes on the Bulldogs
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: tonight five forty five pm airtime, six o'clock tip off
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: from Athens, Georgia, and in the break Roger and I
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: we were discussing. Now Craig makes his stop on the road,
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: usually it's going to be a Starbucks. But Roger Wallace,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: I think you would have stopped somewhere differently.
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: Well, we figured out at least I think I know
• 38:21
  Speaker 12: where he stopped. And he'll go to Starbucks and I'll
• 38:24
  Speaker 12: run across the parking lot and I'll go over to QT.
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: I get the cold drink. He likes to get the
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: warmer drink.
• 38:30
  Speaker 12: But yeah, we we spent a lot of time on
• 38:31
  Speaker 12: the road together and kind of getting in each other's
• 38:34
  Speaker 12: rhythm of what we like. But yeah, we've done that
• 38:37
  Speaker 12: more than a couple of times.
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: And your cold drink diet coke.
• 38:41
  Speaker 12: Right, yeah, yeah, I'm ashamed to say too much of it,
• 38:44
  Speaker 12: but you know, everybody's got to.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Have some vice.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: It's not a nice coffee, it's not a mocha frappe,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: it's a diet coke.
• 38:51
  Speaker 12: It's all about the ice. CAM got to get the
• 38:53
  Speaker 12: good crushed ice.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: So Texas takes on Georgia tonight, and Texas finds themselves
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: the top the polls for the first time in twenty
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: one years. Roger course with Notre Dame losing the NC
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: State and overtime. I'm curious. I don't know if you
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: guys had landed yet by the time in NC State
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: to pull off the upset, But did Vic Shaffer and
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: his staff make any note about be number one yesterday
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: or today leading up to this game?
• 39:17
  Speaker 12: You know, It's funny because yeah, we left kind of late,
• 39:19
  Speaker 12: so the game was over. But I talked to Vic
• 39:21
  Speaker 12: last night after their shoot around and you know, asked him,
• 39:24
  Speaker 12: you know, how does that play into anything? And basically
• 39:28
  Speaker 12: he said, it's naive to think that our kids aren't
• 39:31
  Speaker 12: aware of it and all that. But other than that,
• 39:33
  Speaker 12: you know, I don't think there's been any discussion other
• 39:35
  Speaker 12: than you know, all the all the cliches bs B,
• 39:39
  Speaker 12: Texas and things like that and everything will take care
• 39:41
  Speaker 12: of themselves. But sure it's on their mind. It's all
• 39:43
  Speaker 12: over social media, first time in twenty one years, so
• 39:47
  Speaker 12: you know, these kids are only human coaching staff as well.
• 39:50
  Speaker 12: Taking on a Georgia team cam obviously struggling. I think
• 39:54
  Speaker 12: that's the more important thing, is keeping that focus like
• 39:56
  Speaker 12: they had for that stretch of games against ranked teams.
• 39:59
  Speaker 12: Now you're taking on it team with just two conference wins.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so seven days off because last time Texas play
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: was against LSU that come from behind victory. I don't
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: think Texas could have shot the ball worse, but still
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: somehow pulled off the win over number five LSU an
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: entire week off, and we saw the effect it could
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: have because the Texas men seem go to Columbia South
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: Carolina after a week off, a team that had not
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: won a game yet in league.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: Play, and they end up losing by fifteen points.
• 40:25
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm sure he's pulling out everything being Vick Schaefer
• 40:29
  Speaker 12: that he can to make sure they're motivated.
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: They went really hard this morning.
• 40:33
  Speaker 12: Fortunately for Texas, as we know cam, they can win
• 40:37
  Speaker 12: in a lot of different ways, and they can win
• 40:38
  Speaker 12: shooting the ball poorly because their defense is so suffocating.
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: They can shoot.
• 40:43
  Speaker 12: Twenty one out of twenty one from the free throw
• 40:45
  Speaker 12: line like they did against LSU. So I think the
• 40:49
  Speaker 12: fact that they have a lot of different ways to
• 40:51
  Speaker 12: beat you help the interesting to see the start that
• 40:54
  Speaker 12: Madison Booker gets off to, because again it's just been
• 40:58
  Speaker 12: against these top ten teams. Is shooting has been a
• 41:01
  Speaker 12: little bit more of a struggle from the field for Booker,
• 41:04
  Speaker 12: but you know, she's so good in so many different
• 41:07
  Speaker 12: ways that just be interesting to see how she gets
• 41:11
  Speaker 12: out of the gates here. And it's gonna be one
• 41:13
  Speaker 12: of those games where, you know, it's another cliche, you
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: don't want to let Georgia hang around and get some confidence.
• 41:18
  Speaker 12: They've you know, just have one conference winning like their
• 41:21
  Speaker 12: last seven. They had a buzzer beater against Missouri and
• 41:23
  Speaker 12: they beat Arkansas. But I'll be interested to see how
• 41:26
  Speaker 12: the first five six minutes goes because, as you mentioned
• 41:29
  Speaker 12: with the men, that didn't go well, and you know, you,
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: I don't know if you attributed to the layoff or whatever,
• 41:34
  Speaker 12: but I'm sure the coaches will be keeping a close
• 41:37
  Speaker 12: eye on that.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, especially considering Texas goes from playing four straight top
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: twenty five teams, three inside the top ten, two inside
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: the top five and winning all four of those games,
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: and what was probably very physical games but also emotional games.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Fic Schaeffer came over to us
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: postgame for South Carolina LSU with tears in his eye,
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: So you have an emotional impossible to be a physical
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: layover to now facing a Georgia team that comes in
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: maybe under the radar.
• 42:05
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and George's played a lot of good competition. This
• 42:07
  Speaker 12: is their fourth top ten opponent in the last five,
• 42:10
  Speaker 12: so you know, on the flip side, they're probably a
• 42:12
  Speaker 12: little bit banged up mentally because they haven't had much success, losing,
• 42:17
  Speaker 12: like I said, nine of their last ten and this
• 42:20
  Speaker 12: is just one. All things equal, you would think Texas
• 42:24
  Speaker 12: is the better team by a significant amount. But what
• 42:27
  Speaker 12: happens early? Does somebody get into foul trouble? You know,
• 42:30
  Speaker 12: something unusual happen to allow Georgia to hang around. They've
• 42:34
  Speaker 12: got a couple of really good freshmen, the Trinity Turners,
• 42:37
  Speaker 12: a freshmen leading them and scoring that hasn't happened in
• 42:40
  Speaker 12: twenty one years. So you know this is this is
• 42:43
  Speaker 12: a great chance for Georgia.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: What do they care?
• 42:45
  Speaker 12: You know, they got a chance to knock off now
• 42:47
  Speaker 12: number one. I'm sure they were thrilled that Texas moved
• 42:50
  Speaker 12: up to number one. Now they've got their their shot.
• 42:52
  Speaker 12: And you know, this is one of those standalone SEC
• 42:54
  Speaker 12: women's games because typically everybody plays on Sunday except one game,
• 42:58
  Speaker 12: and they hold that for Monday and Texas is only
• 43:00
  Speaker 12: other Monday game.
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: During this you know.
• 43:03
  Speaker 12: Second half of the season's been that Maryland game in Newark,
• 43:06
  Speaker 12: so it wasn't a conference game, so that's another reason
• 43:08
  Speaker 12: why the layoff has been a little bit longer.
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: But you know, we'll see if.
• 43:13
  Speaker 12: Texas just too good or if somehow Georgia finds a
• 43:16
  Speaker 12: way to hang around.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: And then even after this game to night, Roger, I'm
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: guessing you guys are gonna get back into Austin probably
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: around midnight one am. The team leaves Wednesday at noon
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: for Starkville and what will be an emotional return for
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: fix Schaefer. So it's going to be a tight travel
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: schedule the long Horns this week.
• 43:33
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and you know you close out the regular season
• 43:35
  Speaker 12: with three and seven and then an emotional Senior Day
• 43:38
  Speaker 12: on Sunday against Florida. And oh, by the way, if
• 43:41
  Speaker 12: they take care of their business, they're guaranteed at least
• 43:44
  Speaker 12: a piece of an SEC championship. So, you know, so
• 43:48
  Speaker 12: much on the line for this team, and one little
• 43:50
  Speaker 12: slip up and things can kind of change dramatically, including
• 43:54
  Speaker 12: you know, the overall seeding where Texas, let's be honest,
• 43:56
  Speaker 12: they want to be in Birmingham. Assuming they win their
• 43:59
  Speaker 12: first two games in the tournament rather than going out
• 44:01
  Speaker 12: to Spokane. If they can hold on to this ranking,
• 44:04
  Speaker 12: they should get that slot in Birmingham. Of course we
• 44:06
  Speaker 12: got the SEC tournament. Not sure what happens there. And
• 44:09
  Speaker 12: then other thing is you could have three number one
• 44:11
  Speaker 12: from from this part of the country, you know, Texas
• 44:14
  Speaker 12: to the east, and what do they do. They got
• 44:15
  Speaker 12: to send somebody out west, you assume with UCLA is
• 44:18
  Speaker 12: as a number one, So you know that'll be a
• 44:22
  Speaker 12: concerning thing. I think, because I think VIC finally thinks, okay,
• 44:25

• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Leadership Summit where he spoke at today, so get a
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: rundown for him. A busy weekend for Craig, of course,
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: he was in Columbia, South Carolina for the Texas men's
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: basketball team as they suffered a billow big blow to
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: their NCAA tournament chances, falling to South Carolina eighty four
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: to sixty nine at Colonial Life Arena. Trey Johnson at
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: twenty nine points a game high, but with Texas lost
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: just the third time these two schools had met since
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: the nineteen eighty one or sorry, the third time meeting
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: overall first time in nineteen eighty one season. Trey Johnson
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: eleven of twenty one three to seven from beyond the
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: arc four to four at the line, three rebounds. Really
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: the only long runer with a sign of life shooting
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: the basketball in that game. Kidd and Shederick five blocks,
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: went away from a career high nine rebounds eight points
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: in thirty minutes. But it was a Texas team that
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: just got kind of out played from the beginning. In
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: South Carolina kind of played with urgency, the sense of
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: urgency that Artie has talked about, came out firing from
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: the gate and played like a team that had nothing
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: to lose it in Texas just kind of came out slow.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: You know, it had not played since the Saturday before
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: that huge win over Kentucky, had the midleweek break, and
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: we hoped it would be a good time for the
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: team to kind of heal up. But still no Kendall Weaver.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: He continues the miss games with that hip fluxure injury.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: Arthur Klum Arthur Kluma did come back, but only played
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: off the bench. The Von Pryor got some playing time
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: as well. But Texas, you know, they had a five
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: to four lead in that game and then that.
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: Was pretty much it.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: South Carolina would score eight straight points in the next
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: three and a half minutes to grab a twelve to
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: five lead. Jason Kent made it a twenty to twelve
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: game with just over seven to play before South Carolina
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: scored back to back buckets would go up twenty four.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: The twelve Colin Murray Bows had a big dunk just
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: under the six minute mark. Jason Kent a lamp would
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: cut it to a ten point game with just over
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: ninety seconds to play in that opening half, but the
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: game clocks would finish the last minute and forty seven
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: seconds on an eight to nothing run. Would go in
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: the halftime leading by eighteen points, all the momentum in
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: the game, and then kind of just cruised on through
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: the second half. Led by twenty two points in the
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: second half, with just under seven minutes to play in
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: the contest, Texas would go on a little thirteen to
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: two scoring spurt would cut it to an eleven point
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: game with just over three minutes to go, but that
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: was it. South Carolina would go on to win eighty
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: four to sixty nine. Texas now sixteen and eleven have
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: dropped to five and nine in conference play, and we'll
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: take on Arkansas Wednesday night. After the game, Craig Way
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: and Eddie orr and visited with Texas Long Wordn's head
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: coach Rodney Terry.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Visiting with the head coach Rodney Terry.
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: Arnt. You said it before the game, and you've said
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: the last few days that this was a dangerous team,
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: that they were going to be due at some point,
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: And I guess it's a commination of them doing a
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: lot of things right and then you're ball clumb unable
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: to get the momentum going that you need in the
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: first half.
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: Well, every game we go into, I make sure I
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: guess it's prepared for what they're about.
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: To go into.
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: There's a physical team that's had a chance to win
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: a lot of games in this building and realiship have
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: about five wins in conference playing at don't but they
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: played great at home.
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: We didn't play really physical at home.
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: Now physical does our toughness in the first half, and
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: we didn't respond.
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: We didn't respond.
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: You know, we have to again, you know, come in,
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: put on emphasis on deepest play as hard as we
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: can play.
• 48:57
  Speaker 6: And we didn't do that tonight.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: How difficult is that for you and for the coaches
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: when you see it happening early and maybe they don't
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: get the indication of it early on the floor when
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: that physical Uh, you might say the dominance is being
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: established by South Carolina, and what and what you were
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: trying to get your guys to do to respond.
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: I mean, we call time out to try to get
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: that point across.
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: And again, you know, they had a really good player
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: on the floor over there tonight.
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: He's I mean, he's one of the top five best
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: players in this league.
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: And when you're going in, we got to try to
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: do a good job with him. I mean, he's he's
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: a hard he's a hard matchup, you know. And and
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: then we didn't we didn't have that matchup very well.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: You made a push second half, you cut it a
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: twenty two point deficit in half, down to eleven at
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: one point in the second half. There, I saw some
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: energy out of your guys. Is that kind of what
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: the what has to be stressed during the course of
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: the week as you get ready for that game back
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: in Arkansas, Oh.
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: We talked about it.
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: This week is about trying to play tournament basketball right now.
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: You know, in terms of understanding that you have one
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: bad hab. You know, you don't play a forty many
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: games and your season's over and understanding the urgent you
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: have to play with this time of the year. You
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: can't wait for mart to try to time to play
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: that way. Really try to emphasize that the guys on
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: board it was to start playing that way right now
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: against a team that we knew that plays really well
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: at home.
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: Well, you got some big games comes. You got to
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: put this one behind and go forward.
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: And you know, good shooters have short memories, good teams
• 50:19
  Speaker 9: have short memory. We got to go put these next
• 50:21
  Speaker 9: few games that a head of us and make some hay.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: Keep it for one night, but you got to You
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: got to come and compete in this league every night.
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: Any game can beat you on any given night if
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: you're not ready to play. And you know, we weren't
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: ready to play in the first half or whatever reason,
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: didn't get off. We didn't get off to a great start.
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: But you got to still continue to work the game.
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: So where does that leave Texas's chances of making the
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: NCAA tournament. Well, Nil Paint from the ESPN posts today
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: a bracket bubble update and list the Texas chances of
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: making the tournament right now at just fifty two percent.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: No pain rights.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: The long runs keep taking one step forward and then
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: two steps back. Had that huge one over Kentucky. After
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: entering that game on a three game losing a three
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: game losing skid, but then losing to South Carolina in
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: a game that they were favored, they went from being
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: a sixty seven percent chance of making the tournament to
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: just fifty two percent. Net ranking is still in the thirties,
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: but the Texas Longhorns strength to record is barely top fifty.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: They're three to nine against top fifty teams. In South
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: Carolina delt them a second loss to teams outside the
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: top fifty, which won't help their case with the committee.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: Texas now will take on Arkansas on Wednesday night, and
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: Arkansas comes in at just a forty three percent chance
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: of making the tournament. So this game tomorrow night not
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: only as a must I'm sorry, Wednesday night not only
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: a must win for Texas, also a must win for Arkansas,
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: who will be at home and already has beaten Texas.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: So an Arkansas team that came out very physical, very
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: aggressive against the Longhorns at Moody Center earlier this season,
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: had a doublegile lead in that first half. Texas was
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: able to trim it down the single digits, but Arkansas
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: would eventually go on to win that game. So it's
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: an Arkansas team that probably is not afraid of Texas.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: You know, we've already beat them before. We're at home,
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: we're on our court, and we got to win this game.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: So that's going to be a real uphill bat for
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: the Long Gordons. Now, of course, Texas coming off lost
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: South Carolina, maybe that will light a fire underneath them.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: You heard our tea talk about having that sense of urgency.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Tax has run out of time here. It's only four,
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: only four games with the Gold in the season, and
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: they are not a lot for the tournament. And now
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: four games left, and three of the four games are
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: playing against Oklahoma, Arkansas and then Georgia. Those three teams
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: are fighting for their tournament's lives. They're fighting for the
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: life to make the tournament. So every game from here
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: on out is a must win game, not only for
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Texas but pretty much for the team they're playing. And
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: the other game at Missippi State, you know, a team
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: that's been in the top twenty five rankings all season long.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: We're gonna be hosting Texas at home. You know, they're
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: fighting for a better seed in the conference tournament and
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: also a better seed in the NCAA Tournament. They're probably
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: the only team on the Texas schedule that has a
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: lock for the NCAA Tournament. So Texas does trouble ahead
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: and it starts with Arkansas Wednesday night against a very
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: well coached Calipari team in the Arkansas Razorbacks. They blasted
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: Missouri was it last week? Were not really blasted, but
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: beat them by seven at home. Came out of the
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: wire against Number one Auburn earlier in the week, lost
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: by on the seven points. So it's an Arkansas team
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: that's been you know, it's a very good team. It's
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: a tough conference. And I did not think their record
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: when they came in the Texas really indicated how much
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: talent they have on the team. I mean, they have
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: a couple of guards that gave the Longhorns backcourt some trouble.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Janelle Davis, the former FAU owl we went to the
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: final four before the Atlantic. He's fast, he's physical, six
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: foot four, you know, he's a big dude. And then
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: Dj Wagner, you know who transferred to Kentucky. He's also
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: six foot four, So the length in the size, in
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: the height of Arkansas's backcourt gave Texas a lot of trouble. Now,
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: one thing Texas didn't have Kenda Weaver in that first
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: meeting at Arkansas. That's the key Ken Texas get Kendall
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: Weaver back next week and the last thing we heard
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: from Marte was he was still out indefinitely. I think
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: the hope was to get him back last weekend. Did
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: not get him back in time. It's a hip luxure injury.
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: So hopefully we'll get kend Thel Weaver back on Wednesday
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: night because Texas will definitely need him against a really
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: talented Arkansas backcourt. But there's four games up to go.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: Texas is in must win. Terry Troth, they were already
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: in it, but now there is no margin for air.
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: After the loss to South Carolina last Saturday night, mentioned
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: that Texas women's basketball number one, for the first time
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: in twenty one years, will take on Georgie. It's You
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: can listen to that on one O three to one
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: Austin's eighty station five point forty five eretimes six o'clock
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: tip off Roger Wallace and Kathy Harston on the call.
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: You can also watch the game on SEC Network. We're
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: through the first hour and now almost the second hour.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: We'll be back to wrap up hour two and we're
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: gonna give away some tickets. So stay tuned to that
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: and get that iHeart app ready for a chance to win.
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: Greig Wait show continues after this. Okay, let's pivot from
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: college athletics to the NFL. What is the most popular
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: or sorry, let me rephrase it, what is the most
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: polarizing play in the NFL?
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Right now?
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: It's a touch push, right or if you're an Eagles fan,
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: you might call it the brotherly chef. Well, an NFL
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: team that has been identified by the Athletic as the
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: Green Bay Packers have submitted a role proposal to ban
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: the tush push quarterback sneak. On Monday, Troy Vincent, the
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: NFL's executive vice president of football Operations, told reporters so
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: they had the scouting combine that a team, which he
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: did not identify, had made the proposal during a break
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: in between meetings between the NFL officials and the competition committee,
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: to the Washington Post. In the NFL Network, Now, the
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: Athletic came out about twenty five minutes ago that it
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: was green Bay that has submitted the role change.
• 56:28
  Speaker 7: So how does this work?
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: Well, NFL owners could vote on the proposal next month
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: at the spring owners meeting in Paul Meets Florida, unless
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: the Packers decide to withdraw its proposal. If it goes
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: to a vote, twenty four of the NFL's thirty two
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: owners would have to vote in favor for it to pass.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: Keyboard is owners. It's not coaches, it's not players, it's
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: NFL owners have to vote. So twenty four of the
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: thirty two NFL team the owners have to vote in
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: favor for the role to pass. To pass, Oh, pash Rush,
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: little collins Worth there, teams all. You know every season
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: we have teams voting for different rule proposals each year.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: Last season was what the the hip drop tackle rule
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: that was made illegal. Well, we see the tush push
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: become illegal. Troy Vincent said, we do have a club
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: playing role proposal around the tush push. It's the way
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: they deemed it, the tush push. It's on our agenda.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: The club proposal is we need to make some adjustments
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: to that. Is that a viable football play? End quote?
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: Now this rule or this this play has been examined
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: by the NFL and the Competition Compittee Committee in the
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: last two seasons, but no action has been taken. The
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: Eagles and the Bills have combined to run the tush
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: push or the quarterback sneak one hundred and sixty three
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: times in which they deemed this play in which the
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: team lines up one or more players behind the quarterback
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: to push them forward against the defense. Keyword, there is
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: one or more players. So not just a quarterback and
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: I formation or sorry, quarterback in the gun by himself.
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: It's when you have a running back, a full back,
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: of tight end. The Eagles usually have Hurts behind center,
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: and then you got what two tight ends and then
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: a running back behind him, so you got four guys
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: in the backfield. That's their version of the touchbush. Now
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: the role change here is one or more players behind
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: the quarterback. Out of these past three seasons, the Eagles
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: and Bills have run the play the most of the
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: NFL combined. They've scored a touchdown or achieved a first
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: down on this play eighty seven percent of the time,
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: while the rest of the NFL has been successful in
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: just seventy one percent of the time. Of course, remember
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: when the Eagles played the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, Frankieluvu,
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: the former Panthers linebacker now in the Commanders what he
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: jumped over the Eagles offensive line twice to try and
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: stop the play. Sean Hockeyley came out and said that
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: he did it a third time. They were going to
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: give Philadelphia touchdown. Before the Super Bowl, Nick Sirianni, the
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: Eagles head coach, noted that and he said it in
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: a statement, the success that we have had is not
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: always replicated throughout the entire league. Added, I'm lobbying to
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: never change that role just because we're successful at it.
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: Vincent would also say in the NFL Network quote hip
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: drop and the toush push were in the same conversation
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: three years ago. A year ago, we felt like, let's
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: just focus in on the hip drop tackle and the
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: tush push. Just say, hey, the Eagles, they do it
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: better than everybody else. But there are some concerns. Our
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: Health and Safety Committee has laid out today with a
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: brief conversation on the injury report. There's some challenges, some
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: concerns that they'll share with the broader group tomorrow with
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: the toush push will become a topic of discussion moving
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: into March. End quote. Again, the Packers could withdraw this
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: role proposal, but if they do not, it will go
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: to a vote in March, and again twenty four of
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: the thirty two NFL owners have to agree to ban it.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: This could have some huge implications going forward because it's
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: not just the the Eagles and the Bills. It's the
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: quarterback sneak and based on the Verbia's here, it's when
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: one or more players line up behind the quarterback to
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: push them forward. So now some quarterback sneaks right under
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: center and you go, that's it. But the Eagles and
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: the Bills have turned it into where you got the
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: you know, two tight ends, running back, full back, whatever,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: and they're the ones that end up kind of, you know,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: helping the quarterback push forward across the line. Now, I
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: think the only angle in which this could, you know,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: really get taken away is the health side of it. Right,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: is this is this play jeopardizing the health of the
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: offensive lineman, the quarterback, defensive linemen. I mean, that's what
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: happened with the hip drop tackle, right. All all these
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: roles surrounding the health and safety of the quarterbacks and
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: the players, you know, with the hip drop tackle and
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: head the head contact. Only way I can see this
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: play getting becoming illegal is if they focus in on
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: the health safety part of it. Right, if maybe the
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: NFL Competition Committee comes in and says, hey, we're finding
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: out that players are getting injured running this play, but
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: so far we have not had that data. And I
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: do not know if we're going to get that data.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: And I do not think this rule will be overturned
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: or this play will be turned into an illegal play.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: My thoughts on it, just stop it, you know, It's
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: how what's different between that and quarterback are in a
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: running back run? Like if you can't stop it, you
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: can't stop it. I understand it's probably maybe it's a
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: little bit boring, right fourth and one hurt. So here
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: we go. They're going to get it. I mean, it's
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: not one hundred percent of the time.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: They get it.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: Eighty seven percent of the time according to the ESPN research.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: But I think you just got to figure out a
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: way to stop it. That's just part of the game.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: So we'll see what will happen. Will this It does
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: appear that this will go to vote sometime in March
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: with the NFL owners. Okay, let's continue with some more
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: baseball conversation. I promised we would get to Jim slowchn
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: Engles postgame interview with Keith Morlanter. Texas swept Dartmouth yesterday
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: on the baseball field that UFCU Dishwalk field after two
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: just bad days of weather. We finally got some sunshine
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: yesterday after near freezing temperatures on Friday and Saturday, but
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: Texas improving to four and one, and what stood out
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: was the pitching. Freshman left handed pitcher Dylan Falantes pitched
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: four and two thirds scoreless, his first career win. Atalantis
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: retired twelve of the thirteen batters he faced and retired
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: the first eight he faced. Flantas by the way six
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: foot six, two hundred and twelve pounds Eithan Mendoza was
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 3: three for four, had that solo home run and two
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: runs batted in That fifth inning. Solo shot was pronound
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: to be the go ahead run off the right field
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: foul Pole then added another insurance run in the eighth
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: inning with a RBI single. He's had some fantastic plays
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: at second basement. Defensively, Mendoza also got the third base
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: off of error by Dartmouth Tier Rodriguez, and then Max
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: Blue would follow that with an run scoring base hit
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: that tie it up out one apiece, Kate being scoring
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: or pitching the first four in a third innings no
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: decision on him being allowed one run off a two hit,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: struck out two batters. A good bounce back performance for
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: Kate being who started it against Oklahoma State last Sunday,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: and I think coach Loss said that he was just
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: too fired up, too much drenaline. But a much much
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: improved outing on Sunday against Dartmouth, allowing only just one
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: run in his second start of the season. Max Balou,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: by the way, reached four times. Adrian Rodriguez registered his
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: third multi hit game the last four contest. He's playing
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: fantastic baseball and Texas now looks to take on incarnate
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: word and improve to five and one and keep that
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: windstreak going after them. And I apologize the first part
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: of this interview a little shoppy between coach Tim Slashnagle
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: and Keith Mullen. But here Slash and Keith Mullen after
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: the win yesterday at the dish, a.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 10: Couple of thanks, a great fans a good day and
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 10: you look at it, it all starts with me of
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 10: what happened coming.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: Out of your bull fen.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 11: I was just an outstanding performance. Yeah, I mean, first
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 11: of all, thanks to the fans coming out as the
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 11: first day's Paul Park times. On the other end of it,

• 1:04:32
  Speaker 11: But yeah, milanis he's good man, No, he's special.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: Just trying to do everything we can.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 11: You know, I got to use my experience and our
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 11: experience on trying to set a freshman pitcher up for
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 11: success in the sec you know, and uh, you know,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 11: just trying to get the right role for him to
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 11: start the year, to give him some confidence and you.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: Know, maybe you can do some other things later in
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and then you know you've rested a guy yesterday,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 10: he comes back today has a magnificent performance in Sega
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 10: basis of all the ballpark. When you look at Mendosa,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 10: look at you're just trying to find each guy's spot
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 10: so far.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 11: Yeah, you're just trying to figure out who can do what.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 11: You're trying to give guys opportunities like we did with
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 11: Borva yesterday.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I'd like to get do plant a Jayden
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: in there some.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 11: You know, and you're trying to also, you know, the
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 11: guys that have proven it at some level in the past,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 11: or or have the actual physical skills, like like in
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 11: Easton Winfield, like trying to give him as much rope
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 11: as he can because I've.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Seen him do it. I've seen him be great.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: And you you you especially know how this game, when
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: you want to do so well, you can over try
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: and then when that starts happening, it doesn't matter who
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: you're facing.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: You can't. You it's o to when you wake up
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: in the morning and you know that.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 10: It's so important to have victories and do things, but
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 10: it's got to be fun as well. And that's one
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 10: of the things you're talking about, is you just relax.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 10: When you have fun, you can be successful. Yeah, you're certainly.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 11: My challenge in the team before the game was, you know,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 11: how would you play this game if you were in
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 11: a little league? I mean, you would just play a
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 11: care freedom And really one of the only guys on
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 11: our team that does it right now is the guy
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 11: who should be the least care free and next Rodriguez
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 11: because he's never played before him.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: But he's just playing. You know, he's just playing. If
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: he makes a mistake, moves on.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 11: Other guys were just you know, they're super pressing, and
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 11: you know last week was was awesome. But you can
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 11: see how this game can flip around on your heartbeat
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 11: thinking as we pitch and play a defense.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 8: Well, congressionates the victor will season twos to night.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: Thanks Youth, Texas back in action tomorrow night at the
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: dish six fifteen eritimes six thirty. First pitch, it's a
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: Longhorne host the University of Incarnate Word at the dish. Okay,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: up next, Craig Way, we'll call into the show get
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: his thoughts on this past weekend here as we continue
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: our number three of this Monday program.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 7: Hey, it's good afternoon, Craig.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: How you doing.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: Hey, I'll be home for one night tonight. Isn't that
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: a great thing? You know? For I had somebody ask
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: me this morning in Arlington, what what you have a
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: busy schedule right now as ow Yeah, because we have
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: to overlap between men's and women's basket ball in baseball
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: and some other events. They said, well, what would a
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: typical week, look like, I said, Well, no week is typical.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: They're all different. I said, For example, I said today,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: I said, I mean, if you go back to Saturday,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: there was the game in South Carolina and came back
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: and we got back about two fifteen in the morning,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: and then there was a new baseball game, so I
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: had that, and I drove up Darlington last night to
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: MC the Leadership Summit, which is a fabulous event, and
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: went up to do that and did that today and
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: driving back tonight and then tomorrow I'll fly with men's
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: basketball the Fandela Arkansas and they'll play Wednesday, and then
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: I'll come back late late Wednesday night, and then Thursday
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: I will do Long Worn Weekly, which with Rodney Terry,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: but Andrews I Emma will sit in on the show
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: for me because I have to repack and recheck basketball
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: and baseball equipment and then get that to the airport,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: then come back, do the show, then go to the
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: airport and play to Las Vegas to do the Privy
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 4: baseball game against Washington Man. We'll be back on a
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: five am Saturday flight, and then we have men's basketball
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 4: Saturday night against Georgia and women's basketball Sunday against Florida,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: and then Monday you'll be with me. We'll apply to
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: start built for a Tuesday night men's game Atssissippi State.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: So anyway, Yeah, the road goes on and the party
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 4: never ends. As Robert Earl Keat would.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: Say, right, I listed the events happening with Texas this week.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: There is literally something happening every single day this week,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: and I'm not sure we've had it before because we
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: have a women's basketball game tonight, baseball game tomorrow, men's
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: basketball Wednesday, women's basketball and Longhorn weekly, Thursday, softball and baseball, Saturday,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: softball and baseball, men's basketball, sorry, softball, baseball, Friday, softball,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: men's basketball, baseball Saturday, and then Sunday women's basketball, baseball,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: and soootball.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, you've heard me referred to it as the overlap,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: and it's really uh overlap Roman numeral two because the
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 4: first one starts about the tenth of November. It actually
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 4: started the fourth this year early. It start ever for
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 4: men's basketball when we were out in Las Vegas, but
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 4: it usually starts around the tenth of February tenth of
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: November and then usually ends up about mid to late
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: late December usually for the Bowl game, but now football
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: of course went all the way to January tenth with
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: the Cotton Bowl, so you had that. So that was
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: between football and men's and women's basketball. And then the
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: second overlap usually starts around Valentine's weekend, and it did
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: with baseball joining men's and women's basketball, and that goes
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: for a solid six weeks up until about the end
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: of March. If basketball is really success, that's what. Obviously
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: the women have a chance to make a deep, deep
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: run in the tournament. We'll see about the men if
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: they can get in and what they can do from there.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: But you know, it runs so anyway. It's it's a
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: big part of you know, why I got into the
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: business on back way back when I was in college
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 4: in the eighties. I love games. I like to be
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: at the games. For anybody to ask if I love
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: the travel, the answer is no, because it does get
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: to be a drain. I like some of the cities
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: and destinations we go to, but the travel itself can
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: be a bit of a grind. But anyway, it's it's
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: all part of the job. It's part of the deal,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: and it's what I signed up for, so I'm fine
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: with it.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: So basically, for the next month or so, there's gonna
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: be a lot of days where Andrew Zimmel will be
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: filling in for you and myself.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: There's a reason he's the sixth man, you know. And
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: even though and let me say this, and today's an example,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: even though the week days, but I'll be out of
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: the studio, uh, in all probability, in most of those days,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: I'll be checking in for like a segment or two whatever,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: like like right now. So there's place that. Now, Tomorrow
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: is going to be difficult because because of the takeoff
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: in the afternoon, So I'll probably miss out on Tomorrow,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 4: But Winsday obviously I'll I'll be on. I'll check in
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 4: from Fayetteville and then and then I've got RT show
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: on Thursday from Pluckers and uh and then Priti will
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: be in Las Vegas and hopefully I'll be at the
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: mall park and hooked up and checked in there. But see,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: and that's part of this whole thing, Cameron, And you've
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: learned this now as an engineer producer about more than
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: just going to the destination. You've got to make sure
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: that you're at the facility that you've got what you
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 4: need and test and hook up and so on and
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: so forth. And for men's basketball and for football, we
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 4: have engineers to do that, and you're the engineer, primary
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: engineer or men's basketball, women's basketball, and baseball, we're kind
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: of a one man man. Now in the case of
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: the Thursday are you and Roger that's in Starkville. Roger
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: will have the luxury of having you alongside the engineer
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 4: and be the analyst. But by and large, when we
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: go on the road to do a women's game or
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: a baseball game, it's down to us to make sure
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: we get things soaked up. But I'm used to it.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've been doing it a long time, and
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: so that's okay. So there's definitely not a complaint. It's
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: just it's a statement of how the routine is, and
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 4: you get into the routine and you do what you
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: gotta do.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: A busy weekend on the baseball front, men's basketball as well,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: of course, you travel the Columbia South Carolina. Not the
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: result Texas wanted to see, neither the rt But I'll
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: calld of leave it up to you, Craig, what do
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 3: you want to get to first and kind of what
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: was your biggest takeaway from both the Jim's Los Angeles
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: home opening weekend a suite of Dartmouth and then Texas
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: men's basketball really hurting their chances of making the tournament
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 3: with the loss of South Carolina.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, we can start chronologically. H And you experienced at
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 4: firsthand on Saturday, Keith and Roger experienced it on Friday
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: as I was traveling at Columbia, and that was just
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: mind numbing cold.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: And and listen, I always lean on what Key says Ufcu.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: Dishawk Field can be singularly the coldest place on the
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 4: planet and the hottest place in the same season because
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 4: you start in February, but that north wind kicks in
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 4: and if you've got any kind of precipitation, it can
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: be like that. And it was miserable on Tuesday from
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: when they couldn't play the game, and then uh, and
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: then it was bad again obviously on Friday, but it
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: was just mainly and largely cold, and then uh, and
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: then obviously it was better on Sunday. Waltworts did what
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 4: they had to do to get the win, and to
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 4: get the win in all three cases, and they nixed
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 4: some good pitching in with enough enough timely hitting to Guarder.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 4: All three wins now clearly losses looking for more out
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 4: of his offense, but they did enough to do that
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 4: take a step forward. We'll see if they take another
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 4: step forward tomorrow when they play ui W before they
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 4: had the Las Vegas because they're gonna get tested by Washington,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: they're gonna get tested clearly by Texas Tech, and they're
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 4: gonna get tested by Illinois, so you ramp up in
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: your tests. And then they have one more home non
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 4: conference series that'll be Santa Clara, and then you're in
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 4: the belly of the beast. You start off with duty
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: Noble there in Starkville against Mississippi State, and that's going
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: to be quite a test with until you had that
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 4: in between that. On Saturday was the men's basketball game
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: at Columbia, and I'm sure I saw it with my
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 4: own eyes that Rodney Terry and his staff have been
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: just pouring over every detail, going back, looking every cut
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: up digital video of that deal. They were doing it
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 4: on the plane. We didn't get home until two fifteen
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: in the morning, late late late Saturday night, and they
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: were all in it, but they are every game win
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 4: or lose. But they were diving into it to find
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: out why it wasn't there. The level of physicality they
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: needed wasn't there. South Carolina Rove eve been warning everybody
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 4: about it. I'd said something about it. They were better,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: but that the record, you know, Bill Parcell says your
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 4: record you are? Which record says you are? They were
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: all with thirteen in the conference, but if you look
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 4: behind the numbers, they had lost six of those games
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 4: by a combined twenty points. The lost in Florida by
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 4: one point. In Florida down fourteen in the second half.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: They lost to A and M I think by an
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 4: arrow margin. They lost to Auburn by four. So they
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: were right there in some games, but they hadn't got
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: over the hump. But if you gave them the door
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: to walk through, especially with an NBA caliber player that
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: they have at power board, they could walk through it.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: And they did, and so it did put Texas at
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 4: a tough spot. Now, I wouldn't say they're on the
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 4: outside looking in, and I think Toellnardi will do another
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 4: update tomorrow, but remember they were top of the last
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: four bis. I think at the very least, they may
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 4: slide them to the bottom of the last four buys
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 4: or they might be in the last four h What
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 4: does that all mean. I don't know, but I know this.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: They have four games left, two at home, two on
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 4: the road. Without question, they need to win the two
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: home games because Georgia and Oklahoma are in a worse
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: predicament than the log warns, and if they could find
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: a way to win on Wednesday in Fayetteville or the
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: game in Starkville would be good because they both beat
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 4: Q one wins. I would submit to you that Arkansas
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 4: is still in a little more of a dire predicament
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 4: than Texas, but they're playing there right now and got
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: that big road win at Missouri that was important for them,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: and they played Auburn tough, and of course they beat
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: Texas by ad in Austin, and that was one of
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: those games where they'd won the physical battle. So I
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: bet that's being preached and coached here starting yesterday and
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: then today, and it'll be tomorrow as well, because this
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 4: is gonna be a tough challenge on Wednesday night in Fayetteville.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: And in three of the four teams they finished the
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: season against are all in the bubble Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: So Texas is battling those three teams for a tournament
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: spot perhaps, and one way to make sure to make
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: the tournament is by beating those three teams.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 7: So for Texas, these next four games.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know if each single one is a must win, Craig,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: but you think you got to go possibly at least
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: three and one end the season.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 4: Well, it would make a big difference if they could
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: do that, I would tell you that. And if they
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 4: go to and two and only win the home games,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 4: they're probably gonna have to win a game that you
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 4: might not expect them to win in Nashville at the
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 4: tournament to get them in, or they might wind up
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 4: in Date in the first four or something like that.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 4: Here's the other thing about all that can and you
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 4: know this, not only does ESPN do a bubble watch
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 4: and CBS Sports does that at USA today, I look
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 4: several bracket a logical prognostications all the time, and there's
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 4: always a bubble watch. Well I've been watching that over
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: the weekend. Now, I know for a lot of longhorn
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 4: pants it doesn't resonate with them. They're not looking at
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: other teams. But I'm watching how teams like wake Forest
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: and SU and some other teams lawns, and so that
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 4: makes a big difference if some other bubble teams are
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 4: suffering misforts. But you still have to handle your own
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: business to make it work.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 7: He is Craig Way.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: He is on the road again, and we'll be on
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: the road again tomorrow and on Wednesday, and on Thursday
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: and on Friday and pretty much every other day from
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: here on out until ju And Hey, Greig, I will
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: not see you tomorrow.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 7: I will not see you until wow, maybe next week.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 4: Perhaps, Yeah, yeah, that's that's entirely possible. You might have.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: By the way, one quick word I want to say
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 4: about this leadership summit that I seed. It's a great
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: event in high school coaches from all over the state
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 4: come in and it's a chance to hear some of
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: the steamer speech speakers. There's one speaker named Steve Jones
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: who spoke today, and he's really really inspirational, and he
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 4: sounded like he sounded like a guy that would be
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 4: just like what a guy like Kim Slasmegal would need
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 4: or somebody else who would need a motivational guy to
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: help guys steer away from fear. Come to find out,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: the guy is on Matt Lafour's staff at Green Bay
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 4: as a consultant. He has an office, uh and so,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 4: and he's written a best selling book called The Two
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: Thieves about and the Thieves are the negative feelings that
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 4: have a fear of failure and the fear of the
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: of the negative criticism you get from that. It was
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 4: really really unique and inspiring stuff about all.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we know Slaunch hired Brian Kaine, who's kind
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: of like a mental performance coach who he has a book,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: a thing called a Mental Performance Mastery. So we're seeing
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: coaches in the sports world kind of gravitates to bringing
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: on mental coaches to help, you know, strengthen up the
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: mental aspect their players in their locker room.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and we're seeing the mental side. Sark has always
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 4: said that he has really been intrigued by the mental
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 4: side of the game, of psychological side of the game.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: And that's a lot of what that that that education
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: summit is that leadership summit. It's about fostering leaders of
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: coaches and what they're trying to uncover in their student
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: athletes to try to inspire them to do bigger and
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: better things. It's a really great event.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: Last thing for you, BUCkies, check stop where are you
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: stopping at before you get home to Georgetown, Texas.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 4: Well, I just made a stop at Starbucks a few
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: minutes ago. I was feeling a little tired, so I
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: got an espresso frappuccino and that all to be able
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: to get me all the way back to northern Williamson County.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: All right, well, hey, we will see you, I think
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: next Monday, and we'll get on a plane the Starkville,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: so safe travels to Vadeville. Keep an eye Eddie Orn
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: for me and best wishes this week.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, And I'll check in with zimml and and
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: then obviously we'll hope for the best for basketball and
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 4: then baseball tomorrow night against UIW with Roger and Keith.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 4: And like you say, it's it's going onward and upward
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: now as we kind of head toward March.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 7: It's a busy time. All right, Craig, we'll see him.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: You bet you can hear Craig Wednesday night as Texas
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: takes on Arkansas and Fayetteville.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 7: He will not be on The Craigway Show this week.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: It will be Andrew Simmle starting tomorrow through Friday, and
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: then next Monday will also be out because well, Craig
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: and I will be in Starkfille, Mississippi, as Texas takes
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: on the Bulldog. So Craig will be gone from the
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: Craigway Show for a little bit. I believe next Wednesday
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: we both will be in studio, but we'll have to
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 3: double check our travel schedules. We'll continue here on this
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: Monday afternoon on thirteen hundred the Zone, and we're.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 7: Back to the Craigway Show.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: Have a message for Craig, share it by using the
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 7: Thanks to Craig Wave for.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: Calling in on his journey back from Arlington, Texas to Austin, Texas.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 7: A short journey, a short stay in Austin.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be here for one night and then the
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 3: men's basketball team of Texas travels to Fayetteville, Arkansas. Speaking
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 3: of traveling, our own Roger Wallace is joining us from Athens, Georgia,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: as the Texas women's basketball team takes on the Bulldogs
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: tonight five forty five pm airtime, six o'clock tip off
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 3: from Athens, Georgia, and in the break Roger and I
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: we we're discussing. Now Craig makes his stop on the road.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: He's usually it's going to be a Starbucks. But Roger Wallace,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: I think you would have stopped somewhere differently.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 12: Well, we figured out at least I think I know
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 12: where he stopped. And he'll go to Starbucks and I'll
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 12: run across the parking lot and I'll go over to QT.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 8: I get the cold drink. He likes to get the
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 8: warmer drink.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 12: But yeah, we spent a lot of time on the
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 12: road together and kind of getting in each other's rhythm
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 12: of what we like. But yeah, we've done that more
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 12: than a couple of times.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 7: And your cold drink diet coke, right.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, I'm ashamed to say too much of it,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 12: but you know, everybody's got.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 8: To have some vice.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 3: It's not a nice coffee, it's not a mocha frappe,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 3: it's a diet coke.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 12: It's all about the ice. CAM got to get the
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 12: good crushed ice.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 3: So Texas takes on Georgia tonight, and Texas finds themselves
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 3: to top the polls for the first time in twenty
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: one years Roger course, with Notre Dame losing the NC
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 3: State and overtime, I'm curious. I don't know if you
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: guys had landed yet by the time in NC State
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 3: to pull off the upset. But did Vic Shaeffer in
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: his STAF make any note about be number one yesterday.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 7: Or today leading up to this game?
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 12: You know, it's funny because yeah, we left kind of late,
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 12: so the game was over. But I talked to Vic
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 12: last night after their shoot around and you know, asked him,
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 12: you know, how does that play into anything? And basically
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 12: he said, it's naive to think that our kids aren't
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 12: aware of it and all that.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 8: But other than that, you.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 12: Know, I don't think there's been any discussion other than
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 12: you know, all the cliches bes B Texas and things
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 12: like that and everything will take care of themselves. But
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 12: sure it's on their mind. It's all over social media,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 12: first time in twenty one years, so you know, these
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 12: kids are only human coaching staff as well taking on
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 12: a Georgia team cam obviously struggling. I think that's the
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 12: more important thing, is keeping that focus like they had
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 12: for that stretch of.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 8: Games against ranked teams. Now you're taking on a team
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 8: with just two conference wins.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so seven days off, because last time Texas played
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: was against LSU, that comfort behind victory. I don't think
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: Texas could have shot the ball worse, but still somehow
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 3: pulled out the win over number five Bellas an entire
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: week off, and we saw the effect it could have
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 3: because the Texas men seem go to Columbia South Carolina
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: after a week off, a team that had not won
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: a game yet in league play, and they end up
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: losing my fifteen points.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and I'm sure he's pulling out everything being Vick
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 12: Shaefer that he can to make sure they're motivated.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 8: They went really hard this morning.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 12: Fortunately for Texas, as we know cam, they can win
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 12: in a lot of different ways, and they can win
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 12: shooting the ball poorly because their defense is so suffocating.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 12: They can shoot twenty one out of twenty one from
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 12: the free throw line like they did against LSU. So
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 12: I think the fact that they have a lot of
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 12: different ways to beat you help the interesting to see
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 12: the start that Madison Booker gets off to, because again
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 12: it's just been against these top ten teams. The shooting
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 12: has been a little bit more of a struggle from
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 12: the field for Booker, but she's so good in so
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 12: many different ways that just be interesting.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 8: To see how she gets out of the gates here.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 12: It's gonna be one of those games where, you know,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 12: it's another cliche, you don't want to let Georgia hang
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 12: around and get some confidence. They've you know, just have
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 12: one conference winning like their last seven. They had a
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 12: buzzer beater against Missouri and they beat Arkansas. But I'll
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 12: be interested to see how the first five six minutes
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 12: goes because, as you mentioned with the men, that didn't
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 12: go well, and you know, I don't know if you
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 12: attributed to the layoff or whatever, but I'm sure the
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 12: coaches will be keeping a close eye on that.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, especially considering Texas goes from playing four straight top
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: twenty five teams, three inside the top ten, two inside
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 3: the top five and winning all four of those games,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 3: and what was probably very physical games but also emotional games.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Fix Shaffer came over to us
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 3: postgame for South Carolina LSU with tears in his eye,
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 3: So you have an emotional and possibly a physical layover
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 3: to now facing a Georgia team that comes in maybe
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 3: under the radar.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and George's played a lot of good competition. This
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 12: is the fourth top ten opponent in the last five,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 12: so you know, on the flip side, they're probably a
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 12: little bit banged up mentally because they haven't had much success, losing,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 12: like I said, nine of their last ten and this
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 12: is just one. All things equal, you would think Texas
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 12: is the better team by a significant amount. But what
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 12: happens early? Does somebody get into foul trouble? You know,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 12: something unusual happened to to allow.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 8: Georgia to hang around.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 12: They've got a couple of really good freshmen, the Trinity Turners,
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 12: a freshmen leading them and scoring that hasn't happened in
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 12: twenty one years. So you know, this is this is
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 12: a great chance for Georgia.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 8: What do they care?
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 12: You know, they got a chance to knock off now
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 12: number one. I'm sure they were thrilled that Texas moved up.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 8: To number one. Now they've got their their shot.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 12: And you know, this is one of those standalone SEC
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 12: women's games because typically everybody plays on Sunday except one game,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 12: and they hold that for Monday and Texas is the
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 12: only other Monday game during this you know, second half
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 12: of the season's been that Maryland game in Newark, so
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 12: it wasn't a conference game, So that's another reason why
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 12: the layoff has.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 8: Been a little bit longer.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 12: But you know, we'll see if Texas just too good
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 12: or if somehow Georgia finds a way to hang around.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 3: And even after this game to night, Roger, I'm guessing
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 3: you guys are gonna get back into Austin probably around
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: midnight one am. The team leaves Wednesday at noon for
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 3: Starkfille and what will be an emotional return for Fix Schaeffer.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: So it's going to be a tight travel schedule for
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 3: long Horns this week.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and you know, you close out the regular season
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 12: with three and seven and then an emotional Senior Day
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 12: on Sunday against Florida.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 8: And oh, by the way, if they.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 12: Take care of their business, they're guaranteed at least a
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 12: piece of an SEC championship. So, you know, so much
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 12: on the line for this team, and one little slip
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 12: up and things can kind of change dramatically, including you know,
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 12: the overall seeding where Texas, let's be honest, they want
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 12: to be in Birmingham. Assuming they win their first two
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 12: games in the tournament rather than going out to Spokane.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 12: If they can hold onto this ranking, they should get
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 12: that slot in Birmingham. Of course we got the SEC tournament.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 12: Not sure what happens there. And then the other thing
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 12: is you could have three number one from this part
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 12: of the country, you know, Texas to the east, and
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 12: what do they do. They got to send somebody out west,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 12: you assume with UCLA as a number one, So you know,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 12: that'll be a concerning thing, I think, because I think
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 12: VIC finally thinks, okay, we've got the resume not to
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 12: have to go out to the west coast.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: There'll be a five forty five pm airtime, six o'clock
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 3: tip off Roger Wallace and Kathy Arson on the call,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: and you can listen to it on one on three one,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: Austin's eighty station.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 7: Roger, look forward to it.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 3: All right, Thanks Cam, All right, Roger Wallace joining us
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 3: live from the Stegman Coliseum in Aptons, Georgia. We'll be
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 3: back to wrap up today's edition to the Craigways Show
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 3: after this
