  Speaker 1: the seventy four Cowboys Thanksgiving game was not televised locally

• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the high school playoff matchup featuring Highland Park against Hennis

  Speaker 1: sophomore Matthew Stafford against senior Graham Harrell. Highland Park won
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: in a high scoring game. It was yeah, great, great
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: stuff there. And then somebody else mentioned my favorite Thanksgiving memory.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I remember this.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It was the first one that was in the state
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: of Texas, nineteen seventy nine Battle of Texas. Houston Oilers
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys in Irving, back in the good old
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: days of bum Phillips, Dan Pastrina, Carl Mark, Rob Carpenter,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Billy White, Hues Johnson, Kenny Burrow, J. C. Wilson, Robert Brazil,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Elan Bethay, Tony Fritch, Gift Nilsen, Clipped Parsley, and of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: course Earl Campbell, who he had a big touchdown run
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in a game, because a victory is still cheritcism as
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: an Oilers fan in the lovely blue.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Days and wished they could have gone on forever.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: By the way, see Powell also who he said a
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: friend of his sister in law's in college station saw
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: drone practice going on at Kyle Field today. Then he
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: said he really respects Vick and the way they go
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: at it, you know, hearing Vic Schaefer's comments on that,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: let's hear from some long worn men's basketball players as well,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and that would include Kendall Weaver, Longhorn's guard and Kendall
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: asked about a variety the guys yesterday in that media
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: session were asked because it was really the first time
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: with a lot of guys were catching up with a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: lot of the players. Were asked about the tournament in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: New York and winning in New York and and how
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: important it was for building team chemistry and all that
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: other kind of stuff. And so Kendall was asked about
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: how great it was to have won that tournament in
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: New York.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: It was great for our team. You know, we played
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: really two really good teams down there. It kind of
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: reminds me of the NCAA tournament where you get that
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: quick turnaround, you got another person out of the other team.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: But I felt like it was good. It was a
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: good experience.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and being on the road did that help out
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the team being able to close the gap and help
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: with the team bonding?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: It helps a lot, you know, knowing is Texas versus
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: everybody wherever we go. You know, everybody hates us. So
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: you know, we just got to stick together and pull
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: for one another.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right? And how about his mindset?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Because there's times when you just see him fly in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: from nowhere to make him play. Does he carry that
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in his mind when he gets on the floor.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Uh, you know, I'm always always thinking of crash you know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: be aggressive, just trying to get an extra possession for
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: my team. You know, every possession matters in games like
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: that or in every game.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: So just to be me, you know, go out there
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: and do my best. All right.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So the players, you haven't quite figured out the roles yet,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: as they still trying to symbole all this, should they
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: follow that same type of mindset?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Go out make some plays and see how you can help.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a few crashers and give back guys,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: you know, give back guys or when the shot goes up,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: we want them like off the screen nobody can see them,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you know, for our transition defense.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: But you know we have a.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Couple of guys like me, when the shot goes up,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you can just go down there and try to make
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: something happen.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: One of those guys is Tremon Mark, who just rejoined
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the team, and of course he'd have the the sore
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: ankle knock down a couple of threes in each game.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And he was asked about how the return of Tremont Mark,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the Arkansas transfer, has helped his team.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Uh, toomar, you know, he's a great leader in space,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: the floy he's a defender, playmaker, he does it all really,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: so I think he really helps us. You know, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: if I need a blow, Try needs a blow, he
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: can come in and fill those spots.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: If you saw the game against Saint Joe's, you saw
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: how physical it was. I mean bodies were hitting the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: deck really in both games, but certainly in that Saint
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Joe's game. And so Kenn Weavers asked if the physical
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: nature of that contest might help the team going forward,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: especially once it get an SEC play.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we know it was gonna be a very physical game.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: You know, they crash. I think one of the players
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: had like thirteen offense rebounds or something, and we emphasized crashing,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: but you know, we just got to hit them, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I think it helps us a lot in sec play.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: You know, we're gonna play big teams.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Bigger teams not are gonna go crash, and I feel
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: like Discott reporter, our messages crash and I mean, just got.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: To hit them and that might help.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Arthur Caluma was asked about the team kind of gelling,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: still trying to work on doing that we hear coach
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Rodney Terry and other players talk about.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: So he was asked, how will they know when they gelled?
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: From my experience, I feel like teams don't really start
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: playing their best basketball until January. And then once you
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: guys start playing your best basketball and you feel like,
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: you know, everybody knows the offense, knows their role and
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: what they got to do within the game in order
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: to be successful.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I feel like that's when you start playing your best basketball.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: So just as far as everything else goes, I mean,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: we're just in here and building our bond together as
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: a team.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Repractice and doesn't mean that the season is starting off
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the way that he wants it to go.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I mean smooth, I could say, yeah, yeah,
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: but For the most part, it's more like just being consistent.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: You know, I've been really focused on staying in the gym,
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: consistently working on every single aspect of my game that
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: I can, and then obviously a lot of the team
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: stuff comes from practice. I've been trying to be a
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: very vocal leader, and I'm just enjoying my time. Man,
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: It's my last year of college basketball. I gotta live
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: it to the fullest.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is so a little more specificity from Art
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: on what parts of his game he's still trying to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: get better at continues to work.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: They probably just my three point shot, and you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: I haven't really taken a lot of threes. But once
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: they start giving it to me and I start feeling
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: clean looks, I'm never going to force it. I feel
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: like I'll be able to have a good shot at
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: my percentage being high all right there.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: So there's some thoughts from both Kenda Weaver and Arthur Kaluma.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: The next game for the Long Orange Friday Nights, an
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: eight o'clock tip at Moody Center night before the Texas
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Texas A and M game.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: A good good fit right in the middle.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: If you want to come down to Moody Center and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: watch his Texas team play, and we'll also broadcast before
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you seven thirty year time eight.
• 7:35
