0:41
Speaker 1: our final show for twenty twenty five. This portion of
0:45
Speaker 1: the program is brought to you by Central Texas Sports Medicine.
0:48
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from outgoing offensive coordinator Colin Klyde. We've
0:52
Speaker 1: got a high school report. We're going to be joined
0:55
Speaker 1: in this hour by the winner of the Voice Aiden
0:58
Speaker 1: Ross so Phone the neighbors, Wake the kid, say Hey,
1:02
Speaker 1: that voice guy from Texas A and M is going
1:04
Speaker 1: to be on the radio. We've got our Clark Eisenhower
1:08
Speaker 1: outdoor edition in the second hour. Within the last hour
1:13
Speaker 1: on three sports Is, they're reporting a couple of big stories.
1:18
Speaker 1: Number one, the Aggies have signed Mario Kraver to a
1:24
Speaker 1: contract extension that Mario's agent says makes him the highest
1:29
Speaker 1: paid wide receiver in Texas A and M history. Now,
1:32
Speaker 1: I don't know how he knows that. You know, A
1:35
Speaker 1: and M has had some good wide receivers and we
1:37
Speaker 1: don't know what they were paid in the past because
1:39
Speaker 1: it wasn't entirely legal. But good news Mario Kraver's coming back,
1:47
Speaker 1: and this is a bit of a shocker. Steve Sarkesian
1:53
Speaker 1: has fired his defensive coordinator Pete quick Kowski and passing
1:58
Speaker 1: game coordinator Dwayne and Will Muschamp is returning as defensive
2:06
Speaker 1: coordinator at Texas. Sark released a statement saying, we appreciate
2:12
Speaker 1: all Pete Kwaitkowski has done for the program and his
2:14
Speaker 1: five years coordinating our defense, and are grateful for doing
2:17
Speaker 1: a Keena's efforts in returning to the program this past year.
2:21
Speaker 1: They're both tremendous coaches and people that worked extremely hard
2:24
Speaker 1: for Texas football and the players the coach. We've had
2:27
Speaker 1: a great deal of success. Are thankful for the roles
2:30
Speaker 1: they played. We wish them the best, but there's always
2:35
Speaker 1: a bunt when a coach gets fired. At this time,
2:37
Speaker 1: we felt it was best for our program to move
2:39
Speaker 1: in a different direction. Having the opportunity to hire Will
2:43
Speaker 1: Muschamp provides us the leadership to take our defense to
2:46
Speaker 1: another level. His defenses are relentless. He absolutely gets the
2:52
Speaker 1: best out of his staff and players, and is such
2:55
Speaker 1: an extremely well respected coach. I'm fired up to be
2:59
Speaker 1: bringing him back to Texas. He'll be an off awesome
3:03
Speaker 1: addition to our staff. Sark will be watching the playoffs,
3:09
Speaker 1: which begin tomorrow night in Norman with Oklahoma hosting Alabama.
3:14

Speaker 1: Field as the Aggies host the Hurricanes of Miami. The
3:31
Speaker 1: Football Writers Association, of which I am a member, have
3:38
Speaker 1: voted Ksey, Conceptsion, Mario Craver, and cash Is Hol to
3:45
Speaker 1: All American Honors. Conceptsione and how first team, Craver second team.
3:52
Speaker 1: And this is big. I'm just saying January and February
3:59
Speaker 1: of the months for Pitbull because the College Football Playoff
4:03
Speaker 1: announced today that Pitbull will headline the Capitol One Music
4:09
Speaker 1: Stage at All State Championship Tailgate, the event before the

4:41
Speaker 1: with partnering with CFP on several other fronts across National

Speaker 1: Championship weekend. He'll speak at at Extra Yards for Teachers
4:53
Speaker 1: Summit the Saturday before the game. How about that? That's Pitbull?
5:00
Speaker 1: Is there anything he can't do? He is everywhere. The
5:05
Speaker 1: former Michigan staffer in a relationship with former head coach
5:09
Speaker 1: your owned more alleged domestic violence. The coach had a
5:15
Speaker 1: long history of domestic violence during their time together. So
5:22
Speaker 1: we've got stuff going on, and Michigan's investigation goodly to
5:28
Speaker 1: findings of additional misconduct that might trigger more employment terminations,
5:32
Speaker 1: according to interim President Dominique cho Grosso in a video statement,
5:38
Speaker 1: Grosso described the week since the football firing no doubt
5:42
Speaker 1: a challenging time for our university community. We will take
5:47
Speaker 1: whatever steps necessary to ensure that conduct like this does
5:51
Speaker 1: not happen again. Make no mistake, We will leave no
5:57
Speaker 1: turn unstoned. Oh no, I'm sorry, that's no stone unturned,
6:01
Speaker 1: and any further action we take will be based on
6:05
Speaker 1: credible evidence and findings developed through a rigorous investigation. The

Speaker 1: Those are the team awards for the Texas Rangers who
7:04

7:26
Speaker 1: eight with the two nine seven e r A and

7:33
Speaker 1: want to be the comeback player of the year more
7:37
Speaker 1: than once in your career, I would think, frankly, you'd
7:41
Speaker 1: probably not want to be the player of the year,
7:42
Speaker 1: I mean the comeback player of the year.
7:44
Speaker 3: Ever.

9:06
Speaker 5: season champion.
9:07
Speaker 6: I was kind of losing my mind there for a minute.
9:09
Speaker 6: Just felt like, you know, there was so much going
9:11
Speaker 6: on and just such a balance of trying to manage
9:14
Speaker 6: tires all night and and it just got crazy on
9:17
Speaker 6: those couple of restarts. You know, that one restart was
9:19
Speaker 6: kind of a tipping point, but we had honestly some
9:22
Speaker 6: really good runs tonight. Was I was happy with, like
9:26
Speaker 6: the end of stage one, the beginning of stage two,
9:28
Speaker 6: and kind of throughout Stage two is pretty good. Beginning
9:30
Speaker 6: of stage three we kind of climbed for and then
9:33
Speaker 6: we just had that one set of tires that we
9:34
Speaker 6: put on that that we.
9:36
Speaker 7: Fell way back.
9:36
Speaker 6: But it feels great, you know, I think, like I
9:40
Speaker 6: said my interview, is really the best twelfth place finish
9:42
Speaker 6: I've ever had. And you know, we came in here
9:45
Speaker 6: and really just did a solid job. You know, we
9:49
Speaker 6: you know, we qualified solid. We always want more, but
9:52
Speaker 6: this is this is definitely our toughest racetrack and we
9:55
Speaker 6: just kind of came in here and had a solid
9:57
Speaker 6: plan and executed it. So feels really good. The team's
10:02
Speaker 6: worked extremely hard and all the guys have worked hard
10:04
Speaker 6: through the summer months and I feel like this has
10:06
Speaker 6: been the best summer we've we've ever had speed wise,
10:09
Speaker 6: and we had a lot of tough things happened throughout
10:12
Speaker 6: probably I guess really early July, like we had a
10:15
Speaker 6: lot of speed, but some crashes in practice and qualifying
10:19
Speaker 6: and then just some issue car issues and things that happened.
10:22
Speaker 6: But but yeah, just really really cool and looking forward
10:27
Speaker 6: to the playoffs.

Speaker 1: This is the final.

14:12
Speaker 1: for these ten games. Some people wanted me to pick
14:16
Speaker 1: on my usual fifteen games, but I just didn't want
14:20
Speaker 1: to grade that many games when I came back off
14:22
Speaker 1: vacation because it's going to take me a while, you know,
14:26
Speaker 1: to get back in the swing of things after being
14:30
Speaker 1: on some tropical beach for several weeks. The Bowl edition,
14:38
Speaker 1: like all the other editions every single day. Man we
14:42

Speaker 1: Contest Bowl Edition is brought to you by Them and
15:00
Speaker 1: Flooring and Chad Jones Law. All right, so the game
15:12
Speaker 1: is Saturday, right at eleven? Do I have that right?
15:16
Speaker 1: Have you checked the Have we checked seat keek lately?
15:19
Speaker 1: Because the prices went down a little bit yesterday there
15:22
Speaker 1: were apparently some tickets that were added. Well, they've gone
15:28
Speaker 1: up again. I think two thirty eight yesterday when I checked.
15:31
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that's gonna get much better.
15:36
Speaker 12: We'll see.
15:37
Speaker 1: For those of you holding out, you may have to
15:39
Speaker 1: hold out till after kickoff. I'm just saying. I mean,
15:43
Speaker 1: it's if you're if you're wanting to, you know, say
15:46
Speaker 1: a few coins. At this point, that's probably the only
15:50
Speaker 1: way that that's going to happen. So I'm thinking there'll
15:57
Speaker 1: be a real nice crowd there on Saturday morning and
16:01
Speaker 1: the weather should be really really good. All right. Speaking
16:05
Speaker 1: of that, the outgoing offensive coordinator Colin Klein spoke with
16:12
Speaker 1: the media dab before yesterday. I think it was sounded
16:17
Speaker 1: a lot like this.
16:19
Speaker 7: I'm good, Colin.
16:22
Speaker 14: Can you tell us how difficult it is to be
16:25
Speaker 14: trying to I don't want to get your get started
16:28
Speaker 14: as the head coach somewhere else and then keep your
16:32
Speaker 14: focus also on being the offensive coordinator here and we'll
16:36
Speaker 14: tell us why I can all these Aggie fans feel
16:38
Speaker 14: confident that you know you can still do the same job.
16:42
Speaker 15: Gotcha, No, I think. I mean it is definitely a challenge,
16:45
Speaker 15: There's no question about it. I mean, there's a lot
16:47
Speaker 15: of things that are moving really really fast. And when
16:50
Speaker 15: things happen in this world, they happened very very quickly
16:54
Speaker 15: and in a lot of ways out of the blue,
16:57
Speaker 15: very very fortunate in this situation that you know, Coach
17:01
Speaker 15: Holk and I we're able to communicate, make sure and
17:04
Speaker 15: kind of have a plan, and we're able to get
17:05
Speaker 15: a plan together pretty much right from the start of
17:09
Speaker 15: how we were going to walk things out and and
17:11
Speaker 15: uh to make sure that we were staying on top
17:14
Speaker 15: of things and doing it the right way, and and
17:16
Speaker 15: then also sending the right message to our team. You
17:18
Speaker 15: know that it's about finishing and being right in the
17:21
Speaker 15: now wherever we are and and have some really really
17:24
Speaker 15: good people and in both places that you know or
17:28
Speaker 15: have really helped me and and helped us stay on
17:32
Speaker 15: track and do the job how it needs to be done.
17:35
Speaker 14: Left side the second row to Alex Muller from the Eagle, I'm.
17:38
Speaker 16: Curious just you know, transfer portal starts in January. You
17:42
Speaker 16: guys have done high school recruiting, has the has the
17:44
Speaker 16: break and kind of the roster building aspect, help you
17:48
Speaker 16: guys that are kind of in this transition period kind
17:51
Speaker 16: of stay present in this in this moment between the two.
17:55
Speaker 15: I think it's definitely slowed it down. You know, like
17:57
Speaker 15: when we first coach Coach Ok and I when we've
18:00
Speaker 15: got down here, you know, two years ago, the landscape
18:02
Speaker 15: was different, right, and so it definitely quiets December down
18:06
Speaker 15: a little bit and creates a little bit more stability.
18:09
Speaker 17: But yeah, and then just from what you've seen from
18:14
Speaker 17: home and Wiggins, what do you think you've seen from
18:16
Speaker 17: him that maybe gives you confidence he can take the
18:20
Speaker 17: reins as offensive coordinator and be successful moving forward.
18:23
Speaker 15: Yeah, Coach Wiggins is awesome. I mean he's a dear
18:25
Speaker 15: friend and we've gotten extremely close to these last two years.
18:28
Speaker 15: And his attention to detail his care for the kids.
18:33
Speaker 15: You know, I mean, I mean he's an all around
18:34
Speaker 15: football coach. I mean he's not just a receivers coach.
18:37
Speaker 15: I mean he understands all three levels, how they all
18:40
Speaker 15: fit together, limitations and structures and how that all goes,
18:45
Speaker 15: understands quarterback play, and I respect the heck out of
18:48
Speaker 15: him in every area, and so proud and excited for
18:52
Speaker 15: him to be able to carry on kind of kind
18:55
Speaker 15: of what we've built here and what the kids have done,
18:58
Speaker 15: you know, to lay the foundation for what I believe
19:01
Speaker 15: is a lot of good years to come, and for
19:03
Speaker 15: him to be able to lead that. As you know,
19:05
Speaker 15: there truly is no one better.
19:08
Speaker 14: Right side front Carter Carrol's from two four seven and
19:10
Speaker 14: then Travis Hey Colin.
19:13
Speaker 18: There's been reports about Titian's coach, Christian Elsworth following you
19:18
Speaker 18: over to K State.
19:19
Speaker 7: Is that true?
19:20
Speaker 18: And just are there any other guys you expect to
19:22
Speaker 18: kind of follow you over there.
19:23
Speaker 15: There's a lot of things in flux right now, and
19:26
Speaker 15: you know, probably can't comment too much on this, you know,
19:28
Speaker 15: at this moment in time, but as things become clear
19:31
Speaker 15: kind of through this process, it'll it'll hopefully take shape.
19:35
Speaker 18: And then as far as levon Moscow is just how's
19:38
Speaker 18: he kind of handled his time off and what do
19:41
Speaker 18: you think he'd bring to the office offense if he's
19:43
Speaker 18: able to come back.
19:44
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean I love Lev, I mean, shoot all
19:46
Speaker 15: of those guys and in him, just how he's attacked
19:49
Speaker 15: his rehab, how he's attacked the process through it and
19:52
Speaker 15: like he always does head first, you know, and so
19:56
Speaker 15: seeing him be able to move around again and feel
19:59
Speaker 15: good about you know, where he's at and feel comfortable,
20:03
Speaker 15: you know, obviously really excited for him to be able
20:06
Speaker 15: to finish, you know, truly the way he wants to
20:11
Speaker 15: Travis Brown.
20:12
Speaker 7: From kep Tis and then Rob.
20:14
Speaker 19: Yeah, just on on film, what challenges does the Miami
20:17
Speaker 19: defense present.
20:19
Speaker 15: Their front seven is really really good. You know, they
20:22
Speaker 15: really get after the passer, they get off and shed blocks.
20:27
Speaker 15: You know, they pursue the football and you know, our
20:30
Speaker 15: our keep you on edge schematically that you know, you
20:34
Speaker 15: can't just fall asleep and take things for granted.
20:36
Speaker 7: So it's a it's a really good unit.
20:38
Speaker 19: And then I know we would talked to Mike about
20:41
Speaker 19: just kind of the calendar of the coaching carousel and
20:43
Speaker 19: where it falls in and how there's not really he says,
20:46
Speaker 19: much you can change from how difficult is it for
20:49
Speaker 19: to have to be making these changes in this time
20:52
Speaker 19: while everything is going around, both on the field and
20:55
Speaker 19: personally too.
20:55
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, I don't think there's I don't think
20:58
Speaker 15: there's a perfect time or a per calendar that that
21:01
Speaker 15: anybody could come up with. Change is always hard, you know.
21:05
Speaker 15: And and but at the same time.
21:06
Speaker 7: Like.
21:08
Speaker 15: It's what we preach to our players from day one,
21:11
Speaker 15: with all the distractions in their world that is in
21:13
Speaker 15: college football nowadays, that that wasn't the case even when
21:16
Speaker 15: I was playing of you know, hey, you've got to
21:19
Speaker 15: be in the now. You've got to be where your
21:20
Speaker 15: feet are, and you've got to do your very very
21:21
Speaker 15: best that you possibly can for those guys next to
21:24
Speaker 15: you because they're counting on you.
21:26
Speaker 7: And and so.
21:27
Speaker 15: That's that's kind of the mindset that we as coaches.
21:30
Speaker 15: And there's you know a few other people similar around
21:33
Speaker 15: the country that are kind of in this situation that
21:36
Speaker 15: you know, that's truly how you have to walk it
21:37
Speaker 15: out off.
21:39
Speaker 14: Said middle to Rob from Aline Illustrated How to Coach.
21:43
Speaker 20: So a couple of years ago, I'm on a golf
21:45
Speaker 20: course in Manhattan, Kansas. Guys, he's my Aggie bag and
21:48
Speaker 20: and he says, hey, take care of our guy. I
21:51
Speaker 20: know it's it's your dream to go back there about
21:54
Speaker 20: but what can you say? Did we take care of
21:56
Speaker 20: you here?
21:56
Speaker 13: What?
21:56
Speaker 12: What will you remember most about Aggie Lamb.
21:58
Speaker 15: Oh, my gosh, beyond I mean, our experience has been
22:02
Speaker 15: me and my wife shaling our family like it's it's
22:04
Speaker 15: been over the top. And and not that you ever,
22:07
Speaker 15: we had high expectations. You never know what you expect,
22:09
Speaker 15: but this place is special. It's it's blown every expectation
22:14
Speaker 15: we had out of the water. The people are incredible,
22:17
Speaker 15: the value systems incredible. Are our players and the people
22:22
Speaker 15: you know that that coach Hoko has brought into this
22:24
Speaker 15: program or our friends and family for life and and
22:29
Speaker 15: that that's gonna be really hard to leave because they're
22:31
Speaker 15: they're just it's it's family and could be more honored
22:34
Speaker 15: to have been a part of this this family the
22:36
Speaker 15: last two years.
22:38
Speaker 14: We're gonna take some questions from zoom, so no one
22:40
Speaker 14: in the back right, we'll read them.
22:43
Speaker 21: First question from the zoom feed is from Luke Cheney
22:45
Speaker 21: of Cane Sport. What stands out to you about Miami's
22:48
Speaker 21: secondary and what challenges might they present.
22:50
Speaker 15: Well, I think they have really really good length. You know,
22:53
Speaker 15: I think they run well. You know, I think they
22:56
Speaker 15: really are tied into quarterback eyes and are able to
23:00
Speaker 15: track the football. You can see that they pattern match
23:04
Speaker 15: and understand what teams are going to try to do
23:06
Speaker 15: to them in certain coverages. So they play smart and
23:09
Speaker 15: play fast, and you know, they play really hard.
23:14
Speaker 21: Next question is from Brian Davis at The Houston Chronicle.
23:18
Speaker 21: You're about to step away from A and M and
23:19
Speaker 21: leave Marcel Reid. What do you think about the progress
23:22
Speaker 21: he's made as a player, as a person and morphed
23:24
Speaker 21: into the leader of a CFP level program. What's going
23:27
Speaker 21: to be your main takeaway of his development?
23:31
Speaker 7: Well?
23:31
Speaker 15: I love Marcel, and you know, change is always bittersweet
23:35
Speaker 15: because he he and I and in our relationship and
23:40
Speaker 15: what we've gone through the last two years and the
23:42
Speaker 15: stepth of growth and progress that he's made and that
23:45
Speaker 15: he's helped lead our offense make and our program make
23:48
Speaker 15: is really hard to put into words, you know, to
23:51
Speaker 15: be honest, and that relationship will will last a lifetime.
23:58
Speaker 21: And then the next question is from Kirks of the
24:00
Speaker 21: Houston Chronicle. As you make the transition over to Kansas State,
24:04
Speaker 21: how aggressive do you plan to be in recruiting in
24:06
Speaker 21: the state of Texas in the future.
24:09
Speaker 15: Well, I think it's you know, I think most importantly,
24:14
Speaker 15: you know, when you're when you're leading a program, it's
24:17
Speaker 15: it's trying to find the right fits and the right
24:21
Speaker 15: people and the right type of players in those positions.
24:25
Speaker 15: And Texas has a lot of those, right and so
24:29
Speaker 15: you know, probably like most powerful programs anymore in this
24:32
Speaker 15: day and age, it's going to be a pretty national
24:35
Speaker 15: effort for sure, and there's definitely a lot of good
24:37
Speaker 15: players in Texas.
24:39
Speaker 14: Let's go back to TV road on the left side
24:42
Speaker 14: to Tyler from kt.
24:43
Speaker 7: X Colin Heaven. You know leyvon back for the playoffs.
24:47
Speaker 7: What kind of wrinkle does that add to this offense?
24:50
Speaker 7: I mean, something you haven't had in a few months.
24:52
Speaker 15: Well, I mean, it's always good to have a sledgehammer
24:55
Speaker 15: in the bag.
24:57
Speaker 7: No, I mean, he's awesome.
24:59
Speaker 15: I mean, and it's it's probably a little unfair just
25:01
Speaker 15: because I mean our running back room.
25:03
Speaker 7: I mean, we've been able to run the.
25:04
Speaker 15: Ball through the course of the season, even since he
25:06
Speaker 15: got hurt at a really really high clip, so obviously
25:10
Speaker 15: really excited about him, happy for him, you know, to
25:13
Speaker 15: be able to finish this season and be able to
25:15
Speaker 15: get back out there on the field, and want him
25:18
Speaker 15: to finish strong, and obviously he is. He's a difference
25:21
Speaker 15: maker when he's got the ball in his hands.
25:23
Speaker 14: Let's side front to Tony from the Austin American Statesman.
25:26
Speaker 12: And Coleton calling.
25:27
Speaker 22: You obviously practice against the best third down defense in
25:29
Speaker 22: the car trie you get it. But you know, Miami
25:31
Speaker 22: comes in as the top ten unit. When you look
25:34
Speaker 22: at a team that's so successful and third down, does
25:36
Speaker 22: it change your approach at all in first and second
25:38
Speaker 22: with how you kind of scheme and try to win
25:39
Speaker 22: those early downs.
25:41
Speaker 7: There are no doubt.
25:41
Speaker 15: I mean, then the best way to win third and
25:43
Speaker 15: longest stay out of it, and that is a that
25:45
Speaker 15: is a proven fact. But I think you know, I mean,
25:49
Speaker 15: their two edges put a lot of pressure on you,
25:52
Speaker 15: you know, as far as their ability to get to
25:54
Speaker 15: the quarterback. You know, and then if you try to
25:57
Speaker 15: chip or max protect or whatever it is you try
25:59
Speaker 15: to do well, then you take people out of the
26:01
Speaker 15: concept and kind of lose advantage. Down the field, and
26:04
Speaker 15: so it's a you know, it's going to be a
26:07
Speaker 15: back and forth game and trying to find the line
26:09
Speaker 15: of how aggressive we're able to be when to be aggressive,
26:14
Speaker 15: and you know, we have to stay on the field.
26:16
Speaker 7: So it's it's gonna be a big challenge for us
26:19
Speaker 7: on the left side.
26:20
Speaker 20: Colton from SI Party coach, I'm curious to see what
26:24
Speaker 20: you've seen from the tight ends these last couple of
26:26
Speaker 20: weeks at practice and what they've meant to this offense.
26:29
Speaker 15: Well, I think, first of all, every single one of them,
26:32
Speaker 15: I think are some of our hardest practice players on
26:35
Speaker 15: the on the roster. I mean every single day, every
26:37
Speaker 15: one of those guys. The way they approach their work,
26:39
Speaker 15: the way they attack their work, the way they finish
26:41
Speaker 15: every drill, every rep like it's a it's a credit
26:44
Speaker 15: to Christian and that entire room of of the edge
26:47
Speaker 15: that they have played with and brought to our offense.
26:49
Speaker 15: And they they do a lot of things probably behind
26:53
Speaker 15: the scenes that maybe are not front and center, that
26:55
Speaker 15: that make everything go.
26:56
Speaker 7: And so.
26:58
Speaker 15: And it's been a We've got very balanced production out
27:01
Speaker 15: of it too, where it's not just one guy, you know,
27:03
Speaker 15: and they've really embraced that to understand that it's a
27:07
Speaker 15: group effort and everyone's going to get an opportunity at
27:10
Speaker 15: some point and a very happy when the other person
27:13
Speaker 15: gets that opportunity, and definitely of glue and integral part
27:19
Speaker 15: of what we've done.
27:21
Speaker 7: We'll get a couple more zoom questions go back to No.
27:23
Speaker 21: One since from Adam Rittenberg of ESPN, What are some
27:32
Speaker 21: of the things you cut back on right now to
27:33
Speaker 21: save time given your added responsibilities of doing two jobs
27:37
Speaker 21: at once during the CFP period.
27:40
Speaker 15: Well, I don't think, you know, there's really a whole
27:44
Speaker 15: lot from a game planning perspective, because the routine is
27:48
Speaker 15: the routine, the process is the process.
27:51
Speaker 7: Being able to have two.
27:53
Speaker 15: Weeks to kind of put it together has definitely helped
27:56
Speaker 15: get ahead on some of that work.
27:58
Speaker 7: But really try not to.
28:00
Speaker 15: Make it any different for our players, any different for
28:04
Speaker 15: our staff. Just to try to stay in that routine
28:07
Speaker 15: because that is the now and that's what we have
28:12
Speaker 15: to have to focus on, all right.
28:14
Speaker 1: That's the OC Colin Klein getting ready for the Canes
28:21

Speaker 28: Polaris Fun Center phone line to visit with head basketball
31:35
Speaker 28: coach for the Magnolia Bulldogs, Dereck Kane. Thank you for
31:38
Speaker 28: joining us.
31:39
Speaker 7: How you doing today?
31:40
Speaker 29: I'm doing great.
31:41
Speaker 28: You've had an incredibly improved season so far this year
31:44
Speaker 28: compared to last year. What lessons did you take from
31:47
Speaker 28: last season into this season and why do you think
31:49
Speaker 28: this program has done so much better?
31:51
Speaker 29: Well, I think last year being the first year in
31:55
Speaker 29: sixth A, you know, there's a you know, it's basically
31:58
Speaker 29: a whole new level we had to surprised to and
32:02
Speaker 29: I think it kind of took a year for the
32:03
Speaker 29: kids to see with what uh, what it's gonna take.
32:07
Speaker 29: And we have a great group of kids that worked
32:10
Speaker 29: hard all summer, and uh, we're able to improve on
32:13
Speaker 29: what we what we did last year. Last year, we
32:17
Speaker 29: uh yeah, I think our our our record struggled, but
32:21
Speaker 29: uh but ultimately we were we were we competed in
32:23
Speaker 29: a lot of the games we lost, and so we
32:25
Speaker 29: knew we were right on the edge of being able
32:27
Speaker 29: to show beast improvement.
32:29
Speaker 27: Mm hmm.
32:30
Speaker 28: And what do you think really pushed you over that edge?
32:33
Speaker 29: Well, I think, uh, you know, I got uh, we
32:36
Speaker 29: have a senior does Solomon's playing really well, and we
32:40
Speaker 29: have a really good group of sophomores that are really
32:44
Speaker 29: uh really doing really well the first year of varsity
32:47
Speaker 29: players that are you know, kind of pushing us over
32:53
Speaker 29: that edge. And uh, you know, we're not doing a
32:56
Speaker 29: lot different than we were last year. It's just uh,
32:59
Speaker 29: it's just we we've worked hard and improved.
33:02
Speaker 28: M hm. And you mentioned that you entered six A
33:05
Speaker 28: last year. What do you think the biggest challenge of
33:07
Speaker 28: that transition has been.
33:09
Speaker 29: It's uh, you know, bigger, bigger, stronger, faster kids that
33:13
Speaker 29: are more skilled and so you know, when you're one
33:19
Speaker 29: of the smaller, you know, in six A, there's no
33:21
Speaker 29: limits to how many kids other schools have. You know,
33:23
Speaker 29: we're playing against really big schools and it's just everybody's bigger, strong,
33:29
Speaker 29: and faster. And then where in five A you might
33:32
Speaker 29: be able to you know, there's really athletic good teams,
33:35
Speaker 29: but the six eight teams have had plus the skills
33:40
Speaker 29: involved with that, there's not a lot of weaknesses out
33:43
Speaker 29: there to expose.
33:45
Speaker 28: Yeah, who graduated the last season that left the big
33:48
Speaker 28: shoes to fill? And who do you think has really
33:50
Speaker 28: stepped up this season to fill those shoes?
33:52
Speaker 12: Well?
33:52
Speaker 29: As far as graduate, I would say, I think we
33:54
Speaker 29: had nine seniors graduate last year. Week we we basically returned.
33:59
Speaker 29: We returned three, but we returned two that had any
34:02
Speaker 29: playing time. And so it's really a whole new season,
34:06
Speaker 29: a whole new team, and and they have just really
34:12
Speaker 29: meshed well together and they've been really open to learning,
34:17
Speaker 29: and we have a group of kids that wants to
34:19
Speaker 29: improve and they were willing to work hard for it.
34:22
Speaker 29: And so it's been been a lot of fun coaching
34:26
Speaker 29: this new group. Even though we lost so much, we
34:29
Speaker 29: didn't feel like we lost a lot in the like
34:32
Speaker 29: we knew the kids that were coming up were capable
34:35
Speaker 29: of filling those shoes that left and uh, and they've
34:39
Speaker 29: done a great.
34:40
Speaker 30: Job doing it.
34:40
Speaker 28: Yeah, and who do you think is leaving the season
34:43
Speaker 28: that's going to be difficult to replace on the court.
34:45
Speaker 28: Do you have a lot of seniors graduating?
34:47
Speaker 29: Yeah, we're have four and like right now Areseph Solomon
34:54
Speaker 29: has been our best player up to this point. He's
34:56
Speaker 29: he can't he played football and then he came over
34:59
Speaker 29: and he's really he's really completed our team. He's averaging
35:04
Speaker 29: twenty one points in district play so far, and he
35:08
Speaker 29: will uh, he brings the ball up for us. He's
35:11
Speaker 29: our he plays a great defense. He's been tough, and
35:15
Speaker 29: so he handles a lot of the pressure for the
35:17
Speaker 29: younger guys and allows him to the play the game
35:20
Speaker 29: without without as much pressure on him. And so that's uh,
35:24
Speaker 29: that's been uh that he'll be tough. It'll be tough
35:27
Speaker 29: to fill issues, but somebody always does. And and then
35:31
Speaker 29: we have a sophomore reached Settlemyri's six six teetering on
35:36
Speaker 29: six seven and uh, then uh, he has been an
35:40
Speaker 29: anchor for our defense and so really when we struggled offensively,
35:45
Speaker 29: he uh, our defense is held up and that's on
35:48
Speaker 29: a lot of our a lot of our wins. We
35:51
Speaker 29: we have struggled offensively, but we uh we've been able
35:55
Speaker 29: to hold teams from scoring. Uh and and uh that's
36:00
Speaker 29: really helped us to win win a lot of these games.
36:03
Speaker 28: Yeah, you faced clin Forrest and your last game, what
36:08
Speaker 28: do you think went well and where do you think
36:09
Speaker 28: your team was challenged.
36:12
Speaker 29: It's always tough to win on a road on the road.
36:15
Speaker 29: I don't think we won a district road game last year,
36:17
Speaker 29: and and and now we went to Clown Force, which
36:20
Speaker 29: is always a tough place to play. Uh and so
36:24
Speaker 29: uh we turned the ball over too much uh and
36:30
Speaker 29: uh and so that was a struggle to capitalize. It's
36:35
Speaker 29: hard to score when you're throwing the ball to the
36:36
Speaker 29: other team. But so we uh we were able to
36:40
Speaker 29: Like our defense went well. We were able to we
36:42
Speaker 29: were able to really bear down in the second half
36:44
Speaker 29: and get stops and and then we finally got our
36:47
Speaker 29: offense going and we shot really good from inside. We
36:51
Speaker 29: we won the battle of the points and the paint
36:53
Speaker 29: and uh and and we struggled to shoot from outside,
36:58
Speaker 29: but we we were able to to finish around the rim.
37:01
Speaker 1: That really helps up MHM.
37:03
Speaker 28: And you face Client Collins tomorrow, which is the nineteenth.
37:06
Speaker 28: What are you expecting out of them? And how do
37:08
Speaker 28: you think your team play styles will clash on the court?
37:12
Speaker 29: Uh, Client Collins is uh is really good. We think
37:16
Speaker 29: they're one of the best teams in the district. And
37:19
Speaker 29: uh they they think they can score a lot of points,
37:23
Speaker 29: so they have a pretty high powered offense. And uh,
37:26
Speaker 29: I think are it'll be interesting to see because we
37:29
Speaker 29: were pretty solid defensively and so they're very very good offensively,
37:34
Speaker 29: So we'll see how that clashes. And and then uh,
37:38
Speaker 29: I think to get this win, we're gonna have to
37:41
Speaker 29: We're gonna have to make we've been we've been executing
37:45
Speaker 29: well and getting getting the shots we wanted, and now
37:48
Speaker 29: it's time to beat a team like Clan Collins, We're
37:50
Speaker 29: gonna have to make make a higher percentage of those
37:52
Speaker 29: shots who've been taken, you know, So we need to
37:55
Speaker 29: we need our players to really step up and and
37:58
Speaker 29: and knock down those open shots we've been get.
38:00
Speaker 7: Yeah.
38:01
Speaker 28: Absolutely, last two questions for you here, coach, looking ahead,
38:05
Speaker 28: what are your biggest goals for the Magnolia basketball program
38:07
Speaker 28: the next three to five years?
38:10
Speaker 29: Three to five years, I mean, we're always trying to
38:12
Speaker 29: be uh uh district champions. We're trying to be city
38:16
Speaker 29: champions and and uh and then we're trying to make
38:20
Speaker 29: a playoff run after that, you know. So uh that's
38:23
Speaker 29: that's always our goal. And and really I I uh,
38:27
Speaker 29: I take it more of like a like a day
38:30
Speaker 29: to day, game to game approach for for for our goals.
38:34
Speaker 29: And I'm thinking, we're just trying to get get a
38:36
Speaker 29: little better every day.
38:37
Speaker 3: And so.
38:40
Speaker 29: Ultimately I want to see our kids improve from the
38:42
Speaker 29: last game to this game and always try to work
38:45
Speaker 29: in a year after year, just just keep getting better
38:48
Speaker 29: and so and I think if you do that, I
38:50
Speaker 29: think if you follow that process, I think the results
38:53
Speaker 29: will speak for themselves at that point for sure.
38:56
Speaker 28: And you kind of touched on this for this last question.
38:59
Speaker 28: How do you as a couch to find success both
39:01
Speaker 28: on and off the court besides just wins and losses.
39:04
Speaker 29: Yeah, I mean, we're we're trying to I think most
39:07
Speaker 29: people to get into coaching, you know, you know, are
39:09
Speaker 29: in it for the kids, and you know, they get
39:13
Speaker 29: four years at it and we'll be here long after them.
39:17
Speaker 29: But we want to give them a great experience and
39:20
Speaker 29: we want to make them great men when they leave us,
39:23
Speaker 29: and I really want them to. Uh. I think we,
39:27
Speaker 29: like I said, we we judge success on on how
39:31
Speaker 29: much we improve and and and did we maximize our
39:35
Speaker 29: God given abilities that we have, and so you know,
39:38
Speaker 29: you know, sometimes it might not result in a win.
39:41
Speaker 29: You know, sometimes you you know, some somebody's just better
39:44
Speaker 29: than you. But we are always going to compete and
39:46
Speaker 29: we're always going to try to try to get better
39:48
Speaker 29: the next day.
39:50
Speaker 28: Very well, put coach, thank you so much for your time.

Speaker 29: Hey, thank you anytime, sir.

46:04
Speaker 3: You know.
46:04
Speaker 35: The interviews helped, like honestly, like some people dread interviews,
46:08
Speaker 35: but honestly, like I'm thankful for them because obviously it's publicity,
46:11
Speaker 35: but also like on a deeper level, like like I
46:15
Speaker 35: they actually helped me reflect, Like the questions that I'm asked,
46:17
Speaker 35: I'm like, you know, like, like, I feel like I
46:19
Speaker 35: wouldn't have asked myself without having done.
46:20
Speaker 12: The interview, and I'm like, you know, that actually is
46:22
Speaker 12: a great question.
46:23
Speaker 35: I think it's really important that, like I know the
46:24
Speaker 35: answer to that, not just because like just in case
46:27
Speaker 35: people ask me, but also because it's important for me
46:29
Speaker 35: to know for myself.
46:31
Speaker 12: But yeah, it's been really great.
46:33
Speaker 1: So the question is this is finals week, Hereda, and

46:48

Speaker 12: Super excited about.
49:03
Speaker 1: So, with everything that's going on and with all of
49:06
Speaker 1: the schedule, have you had any time to write anything
49:10
Speaker 1: or will that have to wait a little bit?
49:13
Speaker 13: Man?
49:14
Speaker 35: Like, I'm a I'm a singer. I'm a performer. That's
49:17
Speaker 35: who I am to about my core. But a piece
49:19
Speaker 35: of who I am to my core is also being
49:21
Speaker 35: a writer. And so like I like, like, I like,
49:24
Speaker 35: even if I didn't have time, like I made time.
49:27
Speaker 12: Like that's something that I just do.
49:28
Speaker 35: Like it's not something I like, I I have to
49:31
Speaker 35: like really set up a set set aside time to do.
49:34
Speaker 12: It's something that I just do because it's who I am.
49:37
Speaker 35: So I have a lot of music that I'm excited
49:39
Speaker 35: to like be like producing and releasing and like showing
49:41
Speaker 35: the world.
49:42
Speaker 1: When we talked before the knockout rounds, I asked you
49:45
Speaker 1: about Nile. I think I read now that Nile is
49:48
Speaker 1: three and.
49:49
Speaker 35: Oh yeah, the man is undefeated on the show.
49:54
Speaker 1: So tell me about the process between that time when
49:57
Speaker 1: we spoke at Monday night. How did Nile approach that
50:02
Speaker 1: with you?
50:03
Speaker 6: Oh?
50:03
Speaker 35: Man, Nile, honestly, he did, like he did exactly what
50:08
Speaker 35: he should have done. I was I was ready to
50:11
Speaker 35: treat this like it was the NBA Finals and like
50:14
Speaker 35: it was like literally just like like it was like
50:17
Speaker 35: I was getting in my head about it and I
50:18
Speaker 35: was like I was taking it almost a little bit
50:20
Speaker 35: too seriously.
50:21
Speaker 12: But now grounded me and he was like, look, man,
50:23
Speaker 12: like your best performance is gonna be the one where
50:25
Speaker 12: you're having fun and where you love what you're doing.
50:27
Speaker 35: He was like, dude, like not that this isn't a
50:29
Speaker 35: big deal, but you got to treat it like just
50:30
Speaker 35: another performance, like like at the.
50:33
Speaker 12: End of the day, like why are you doing this?
50:34
Speaker 35: Like it's because you love it, because it's fun to
50:36
Speaker 35: you and like you want to spread joy to others,
50:38
Speaker 35: And so I just held onto kind of those three principles,
50:41
Speaker 35: and I think that's what really brought it home honestly
50:43
Speaker 35: above all else.
50:45
Speaker 1: You know, you you will have concert, you will go on,
50:49
Speaker 1: you will do stuff. But I can't imagine you will
50:52
Speaker 1: have more pressure than you had Monday night with that
50:56
Speaker 1: live performance.
50:58
Speaker 12: Oh man, yeah a lot.
