Texas Football's season ends in the CFP Semis, Texas Basketball suffers rough weekend, and the Dallas Cowboys part ways with Mike McCarthy · The Craig Way Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, and welcome to the program here on Sports
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Radio AM thirteen under the Zone.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: My name is Craig Wait.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us, and we're with you
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: each and every afternoon from two to five Monday through Friday,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: unless we're traveling or game or all that. There'll be
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: some of that stuff going on this week for us. US,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: of course, includes the producer of this program, Cameron D.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Parker.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: The D on the birth certificate stands for Dallas, as
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: in his favorite pro football team, who we learned just
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a little while ago, is granting Cameron's wish and is
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: going to have a new head coach. I was looking
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for confetti and streamers and horn sounding and all that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: other kind of stuff. God is good, is good. So
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the Almighty handle this.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: No, Yeah, he's a little bit busy with more things
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: important than Jerry Jones. But a lot, a lot of
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: ways we can go and quick cope with this, Craig
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: claud this finally happened. If only I had seen this,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Oh way, Yeah, I think all Cowboys fans knew this
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: after the last season that we were going to be here.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: So on the one hand, it's caused for celebration. The
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Cowboys and Mike McCarthy have parted ways. But also just
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: the fact that this whole thing could have been avoided
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: a year ago and kind of shows you that Jerry
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Jones and the Cowboys just don't have a plan they
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: have They have no idea what's going on. They have
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: no idea what they're doing. Well, their plan was hope.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: They were hoping that McCarthy could get it turned around.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: After all, they were the two seed last year, you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: before the collapse against the Packers, So there was hope
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: that they were going to build off of that. That
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: obviously didn't happen.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: There's great and then and then it was kind of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: weird because the Cowboys refused to grant the Bear's permission
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to talk to him.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: So that's what I understand, Craig, is if you're still
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: in negotiations with your head coach this week, what does
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: that mean? Like they couldn't come to a deal because
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: apparently McCarthy wanted something a little bit longer, the Cowboys
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: weren't sold on that. So what was what was your plan?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Because all these all these other teams either either they
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: have made their higher like the Patriots with Mike Frable,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: or you're a team like the Bears or Saints who
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: ideally is probably waiting on a coordinator like Ben Johnson
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: or Slowick with the Texans Jerry Jones, just like, let's
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: see what happens. I don't know, we'll see. So this
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: coaching starts going to be wild. Craig, It's gonna be
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: absolutely wild. If you told me the Marl it's gonna
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: be John Gruden, wouldn't be surprised. If you told me
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: it's Jason Whitnew wouldn't be surprised. Shoot, Kellen Moore Philadelphia
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: would not be a surprised. I don't think so, because
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I figured we would have heard more traction in the
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: years past. But maybe with the way Jerry I mean,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you know, you know how Jerry likes to operate. He
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: likes to have either a coach that has that Super
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Bowl resume so that screams John Gruden or Pete Carroll.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind Pee Koe. I'm not on Gruden or
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: someone that has a relationship with a franchise. Kellen Moore,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: who was obviously the OC here before going to Philadelphia.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Deon Sanders, who I don't know, you know, apparently his
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: camp has reached out to Las Vegas, Las Vegas that
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: we're good on that front. Or as we heard coming
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: into the show on the Callen Coward Show, Jason Witten,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: who I believe one of our listeners actually texted in
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: last week and said, Hey, what about Jason Whitten, who
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I believe is win back to back state championships.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: At the private school right level at Liberty Christian in Argyle. Yeah,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: between Dallas and Denton, just south of Denton.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he is done.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: All right, So that news is coming down today and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot of time to discuss it, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: we will.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about that. We'll talk about the NFL.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Wild Card weekend, which is weekend plus one because there's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: one more wildcard game that's tonight, Rams and Vikings playing
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in Glendale, Arizona. There's a whole lot of permutations around that,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and how the winner now will go to Philadelphia out
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Detroit because of what the Washington Commanders did last night.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. The review of the AFC stuff,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: which was traw and then some, so we'll get to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that obviously. We'll also have review of the long win
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: football season which came to its heartbreaking conclusion on Friday
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: night at the Cotton Bowl in the semifinal round of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff, and talk about that the players
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: who have decided they're moving on to the National Football League.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about the two teams remaining, Ohio State and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, and then there's Long.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: One basketball to talk about.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: They come off playing back to back games against the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: number two team in the country and the number one
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: team in the country. That's never happened before for Texas,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and they had two incredibly competitive games, especially the game
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Saturday against Tennessee. They were way down Auburn but came
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: back and cut it to three twice in the final minute.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: We couldn't get over the hump. And then Tennessee.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: They led a lot of the game, including they were
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: by five to nine minutes to go and Tennessee was
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: able to ease away and win it by four. And
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the Long Wrns leave tomorrow for Norman, Oklahoma to play
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: in Oklahoma team that start off unbeating it was red hot,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: but now the Sooners, just like the Long Words, are
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a win three and are trying to find their way
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in the SEC. And those two are in an important
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: matchup on Wednesday night at Lloyd Dobles Center. And by
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the way, I don't know if you've noticed, did you
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: see the tip off time for the game Wednesday?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I've noticed.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Did you notice on the itinerary what time we get
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: back home? It's the game ticks off tips off at
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: nine o'clock Central time, nine o'clock Central time.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: That's ten Eastern. That's in the Eastern.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And this is what this is one of the byproducts,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: one of the collateral things that happen when you join
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a new league like the SEC, which has a lot
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of Eastern time zoned teams, and what happens is television,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and of course ESPN is a slave to I mean,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the SEC is a slave to ESPN.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: We know that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And because of that, they want to have a triple
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: header on certain nights, including Wednesday. So there's a triple
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: header which would be at five o'clock Texas time, seven
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: o'clock Texas time, nine o'clock Texas time. And so they
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you know, with the two teams, and two of the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: teams in the Central time zone, there's more than just
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: those two that are in the Central time zone. Both
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Mississippi's l s U, Texas A and m Arkansas Vanderbilt,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: all of the all of those teams are in the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Central time Zone, but let's see Alabama and Auburn or
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: in the Central time zone. So in any event, as
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: it stands, it's it's one of those weird deals where
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you know you're going to play at the time that
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: television assigns you to play. So for those who are
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: mad about the schedule there so that that's all established
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: by the SEC in conjunction with and in conversation consultation
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: with ESPN. So the game on Wednesday night is at
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: nine o'clock and it's an important game for both of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: those teams. Neither side wants to go to Owen foreign
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: conference place. So that's Wednesday night at Lloyd Noble. Texas
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: women come off yesterday's test that they were unable to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: pass against the number two team in the country. They
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: lost at South Carolina sixty seven to fifty in and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: it had some of the most bizarre numbers that you'll
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: ever encounter, and looking at it, I couldn't believe it myself,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and I was calling the game. But we'll recap some
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of those we have inconceivable coming up and in an
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: inconceivable we've got a story. You know, we didn't have
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a show Friday because Friday was game Day. So on Friday,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you know, we usually a Florida man. Well, my wife
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: had a story brought to her attention about a Florida couple.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And this is as Florida man in Florida woman as
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: it gets because it involves robbery and defecation. Yeah, so
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: we'll have that coming up at Inconceivable. Plus, plus we
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: have the latest edition. It doesn't happen that often, but
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it does happen from time to time, the latest edition
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of the Inconceivable Craigway travel Story. And it happened yesterday
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: because and probably was a byproduct of all the travel
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of the past several days and just some absolute abject dumbassery.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: On my part.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: But you know, I'll own it and we'll just live
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: with that. Just deal with that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So that's coming to and Inconceivable. So understand we got that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Rodney Terry Long Worn Men's Coach
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: coming up. We've got a lot of other things we'll
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: get to. We'll open up the text line for your questions,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: your thoughts, your comments. All you have to do is
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: text the word Texas followed by your question or comment.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: To eight one five three zero.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: So you text the word Texas follow by your question
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: or comment to eight one five three zero. Standard messaging
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and data rates me apply. And also the talkback feature
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: is available if you like to avail your voice to us.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: All you have to do is have that working iHeartRadio
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: app downloaded onto your smartphone. Really easy to do. If
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you don't have it, you just download it on there.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: It's free, it's easy. Then you just do the little
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: search thing for AM thirteen under the Zone. It pops
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: right up. There's a little red button with a white
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: microphone in the middle. You tap that button, you can
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: leave us up to thirty seconds of a voice message went, yeah,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that was a dumb travel story, you d Greig, Or yeah,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys should go after fill in the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: blank whatever. That's how you do the talk back feature
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: as well. So we'll get to all that and more
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: coming up. It is a Monday here on sports Radio
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: AM thirteen under the Zone and where you always listen
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to us for free on the iHeartRadio app.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: It's the Craig Way Show with the voice of the
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Texas Longhorns in Hall of Vain broadcast there.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Craig, We're glad of you with us on a Monday
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: afternoon here. I know the hurt and the wound are
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: probably still fresh for a lot of Longhorn fans as
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: to what happened on Friday night at the Cotton Bowl
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: in Dallas. In Arlington.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, totally get it, totally understand it. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: think there's a lot of different perspectives, not only on
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the game and how it ended, but there are those
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: who have kind of, you might say, combined or just
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: kind of molded the game and the way it ended
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: on Friday night into their perception of the season as
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: a whole. And that's where I would probably differ with
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: those folks who would do that, because I think they
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: are two separate things. One ended the other, but it
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that the other was as tragic as the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: ending of the first as.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: You might imagined.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: The game itself obviously looked for a long time as
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: though the Longhorns were not going to be able to
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: muster much offensively against that Ohio State defense, and then
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the adjustments were made. Had the late first half drive
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and then you had gut punched Number one the screen
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to Trevion Henderson who takes it seventy five yards for
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. In the waiting seconds of the first half.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: That was the first cut punch. Then the long ORNs
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: fight hard and score in the third quarter, get the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: touchdown on the second pass to Jayden Blue to tie
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the score. And I know some of you have noticed this,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: but for those who had not, that was the first
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: third quarter touchdown for the Long Horns in six weeks,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: in six games. Now, ironically, in all six of those
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: prior games they led all of them, and in all
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: but one the Arizona State game the Peach Bowl, they
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: scored at least a field goal in the third quarter,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: but there were no offensive touchdowns in the third quarter
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: coming after the Florida game all the way through to
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that Ohio State game. Also, in those six games, the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Long Worns won five of them. The only one that
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: they didn't win was the SEC Championship. Now that was
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: going up to the third quarter of the Cotton Bowl
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and they get the touchdown to tie it, give up
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the touchdown the fourth quarter, they fall behind twenty one
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to fourteen. I know a lot of Long Run fans
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: who saw, especially those who were at the game and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: could look up at the jumbo tron and see Colin
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: simmons jersey being grabbed and he's clearly held when he
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: could possibly have had a sack instead of turning into
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: an eighteen yard play on third down and ten.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I believe those things happen.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: The college football game is an imperfect science, and officiating
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: is also that an imperfect science, and calls get missed,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and sometimes calls that should not have been called are called.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Those things happen. It is part of the game and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: we're all subject to it. I suppose, as followers of
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the game undawned, the long runs do start fighting back.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: They hit some big passes won the Wingo and then
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the other to Matthew Golden, and they get it down
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: there and then there's not one, but two pass interference
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: calls them back to back. It kind of reminded me
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: of I don't know if you remember this game the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, when the Rams played the Bengals. On that
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: final drive for the Rams, the Bengals kept committing pass
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: interference penalties right at there on Cooper Cup. They just
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: grabbing him, holding him, practically tackling him, and they just bam, bam,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Bam kept hitting him with the passing and then they
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: finally wound up throwing him a pass that he caught.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Anyway, in this.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Case, they get it down to the two yard line
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and have a pass interference call. So now they got
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: first and goal with to one. And if it's too
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: painful for you to recap, I got you understanding. You know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: cover your ears or however you want to dismiss this,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: but just to recap it, they bring in the jumbo
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: package and they have Jermaine Lolay back there.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: They have a big, big defensive.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Lineman there as blocking backs, and they give it to
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Eric Gibson. I've looked at it a couple of different times. Yes,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: it does look I know some folks thought this that
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Gibson kind of cut away from the blocks. He kind
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: of turned back inside a little bit, but it was
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: between the two blocks. But the second block did not
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: come through the way they wanted, so as a result
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: of that, he gets tackled short of the goal line.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Now it's second down. I also know the sentiments of
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: many saying, you just pounded away four times at the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: one yard line and if you don't get it in,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: then you said we didn't deserve to win. Well, if
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you don't get it in from the one yard line
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: on four downs, no matter what downs you use, you
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: didn't deserve to win anyway, regardless of how you spind
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the downs. Clearly, Sark felt that Ohio State's number one
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: run defense and number one defense in the red zone
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: was going to be as tough against the run as
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: long runs have been down like they were against Arizona.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Stayed in against Texas A and M against the run,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and that's why they went with the pitch out, which
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: you had one player miss a block. Caleb Downs makes
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a great play just shooting through the gap and Trey
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Wisner gets trapped for a seven yard loss. Now it's
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: third down. You get a tip pass when Wingo looked
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: like he might be open for a moment, but it
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: was tip. And then it brings up the fourth down,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and again it was another miss block and yours gets hit,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: ball comes loose, and the most catastrophic of all results
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: because even if you just sacked there and Ohio State
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: takes over, you still have your timeouts, and the two
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: minute timeout could have perhaps pinned him back and forced
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to punch.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: You never know.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But the worst of all possible outcomes. Obviously, the Strip
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: sacked the fumble, the eighty three yard return for the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: touchdown by Jack Sawyer, and that was it. So there's
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of ways to analyze it and talk about it.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of fault finding that that's part of
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the game, and as fans, you have every right in
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the world to play that blame game. It's the easiest
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: thing in the world is to second guest when you
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: get at the one yard line too, when things don't
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: go right. Even then, when not at the one yard line,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: hindsight's always twenty twenty. It's always going to be that way,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and it's okay to speculate. I think sargets that everybody
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: understands that he stands by what he went for, but
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: it wasn't properly executed and as a result they wind
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: up losing the game. Now here's the part where I
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: was talking about where it rolls back differently from the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: season itself. It's incredibly disappointing, obviously, and it was really
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: cool to see a lot of Longhorn fans so excited
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: there and it was a decided home field advantage to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the car. When you say so, Cam, you were in
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: there when you say.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I think we did.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: When I first walked into EIGHTE and D Stadium, it
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: felt like I was a DKR, not a burn Orange
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: on both sides of the field.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And so for those who say Texas fans are just
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: T shirt fans or this or that, and it'll show blah
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: blah blah. Those of you who are there pat yourself
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: on the back. You did a heck of a job.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: You made a lot of noise, and I know the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: players and the coaching staff appreciated.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: It as well.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: So that just means there's that much angst, heartbreak, disappointment,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: disillusionmant in some cases anger, frustration, all of those things
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: about how it ended then, and that's totally understandable. I
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: would differ with those who think it is micro cosmic
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: of the season. You don't win thirteen games and fifteen
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: tries going into that contest without doing the vast majority
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of things directly in terms of the coaching, in terms
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: of the play calling, in terms of the execution, all
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: of it. This is the season to be proud of.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: This is back to back final fours for this team.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: And for those who want to throw some stones, go ahead,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: but understand. The program that you're throwing the stones at
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: right now is twenty five and five of the past
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: two years, twenty five and five back to back trips
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to the Final four, including having to earn their way
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: back to the Final four this year by winning a
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: first round game and a Peach Bawl quarterfinal to get there.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: They were the only ones from the four teams that
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: were in the playoff last year even to get into
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the twelve team, let alone the final four. So they
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: have a lot to be proud of. Satisfied, No, of course,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: not still ways to go, and they're still building.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: And I would just say this, I don't know if
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: you saw it on social.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Media's Nick Benito, the former Sooner, just kind of clowning
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Michael taff Or, letting out a a primal scream of
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: anguish and frustration on his way to the locker room
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and and and getting emotional. And then there's Nick Benito
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: getting interviewed yesterday after loss to the Bills, and he's
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: getting choked up, you know, and and you know it's
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit different in both cases. One's making more noise, yeah,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: but the other one is supposedly the older veteran pro
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I think there's nothing wrong with either situation of being
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: choked up or expressing frustrations. You pour so much of yourself,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: your heart and soul. We visited with Taff. Taff wasn't
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: in the general news conference. He did visit with us
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: on the postgame, and he and his voice was shaky,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: and he was and he was upset with himself and
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: and and the how. But he was also very very
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: proud of the season and of his coaches and of
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: his teammates. And that says a lot, not only about
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: him and the kind of guy he is, because he
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: is that kind of guide, but not only that, but
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: also about this football program. So if you are indeed
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: a true fan of all of that, then I would say,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: you know, take some pride in what this football team accomplished.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Nobody said they've arrived or anything like that. But in
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: terms of that what had become the age old question,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: are they back? I would say back in terms of
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: being an annual contender. With the signing classes coming in,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: with what they have coming back, with what they're building on,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: it's a reason to be pretty optimistic about what's to
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: come in the future. All Right, Coming up next, we
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: have inconceivable, a couple of bizarre stories, and then just
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to kind of dumb travel story on my part, but
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: it does kind of fall into the inconceivable file. That's
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: next here on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Craig Way alongside the producer and Parker Glad to have
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you with us, and a lot to get to more.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Obviously on the Long Worn season, we'll hear from Randy
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Terry with regard to Long Worn Basketball, and a couple
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: other interesting takes on pro football, including the change that
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: is apparently not only imminent but I guess you might
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: say not only emminent but official with regard to Mike McCarthy.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: He is not going to return as the Cowboys head
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: coach in twenty twenty five. Jerry Jones made that announcement today.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: They had that exclusive negotiating window with him until tomorrow
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: at midnight, but he said, over the past week, Mike
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and I had the opportunity anyway, Mike and I had
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to conduct a joint review of all aspects
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: of the past season, our players and staff, and also
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: spent considerable time discussing seeing the road forward for the team.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: These discussions were thorough and received an appropriate amount of
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: time and depth to cover prior to reaching the point
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: of contract negotiations, though it became mutually clear that it
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: would be better for each of us to head in
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: a different direction. I think Mike and I wish him,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: his wife, Jessica, and their family the best. They've been
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: a wonderful part of our community here, and Jones added,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys will begin the search for the next head
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: coach immediately. So I know which you're thinking in many
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: of Cowboys times, Why did it take this long and
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: get to this point?
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Never even should have hired him in the first place.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: But also a lot of this is to blame on
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Jerry Jones in the front office. I mean, Mike McCarthy
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: was set up to fail this season. The roster got worse,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: they did not put any more money into it. Their
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: big free agency acquisition was Eric Kendricks, linebacker passed his
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: prime who was signed just because of his relationship with
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Mike Simmer and the Vikings injuries to not help of course,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Dak Prescott going down, Trevon Diggs was injured to got
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: injured before offensive line had issues. I mean, my biggest
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: concern going into the season Craig was you bring back McCarthy,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: but nothing else changed in terms of the roster. Roster
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: got worse. The coaching, I don't think it really changed
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: much going from dan Quinn to Mike Zimmer. I don't
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: think Zimmer had the right personnel on this team that
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: he would like to have had. I mean, this roster
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: was kind of built for dan Quinn of his defense,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: and I think we saw that throughout the year.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: The Cowboys defense.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Was all right, and then of course on the offensive end,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: the running back room maybe the worst running back room
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: in NFL history. Their big move was design Zekiel Elliott
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: and Dalvin Cook. I don't know if Dalvin Cook even
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: got to carry for Dallas this season. Zeke ended up
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: getting cut so he could join the Chargers, who got eliminated.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: By the Houston Texans. Shout out to Houston Texans graduations
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: playoff victory.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: So all of this, you know, you know, I took
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: about Mike McCarthy and I don't think he was the
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: right higher at all. But also the front office let
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: him down as well. It remains to be seeing who
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: this next head coach is, but he's gonna have a
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: tough test because it does appear that the Cowboys had
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: the same plan going into this offseason as they did
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: last season, which is, we're not going to spend money,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: We're gonna cut corners. We're gonna hope that some of
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: the players that you know, we drafted are going to
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: be able to turn into Pro bowlers and develop them.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: And sure, that's good, but you know, when you have
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: a season like this where injuries start to mount up
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, your death is being tested
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: and guys who shouldn't be starting on the NFL level
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: are starting, it's reflected when your team is getting blown out.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Honestly, each way, each week you said that Mike McCarthy
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: was set up to fail. Who was more set up
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to fail, Mike McCarthy or Gerrod Mayo.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's a that's a really good question. I would
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: say Cowboys definitely. I think have a better roster and
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: and Mayo had never been a head coach. Yeah, but yeah,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Mayo was put in a spot and even Robber Kraft
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: admitted he was put in the spot where he was
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: felt he was not going to succeed. He was obviously
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: not ready to be head coach, that's for sure. I
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: think you know, McCarthy at least took Dallas to the
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: playoffs a couple of times. Right, never got a playoff
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: win though, But for Mayo, I mean, the Patriots were
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: just awful and the coaching was awful.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: But Cowoys had a better roster, So that's good. That's
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: a good question.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Is Okay, let me hit you with his follow up
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: who is better suited to at this point on January thirteenth,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Who is better suited that of a better twenty twenty
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: five season. The Patriots with Mike Vrabel or the Cowboys
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: with head coach to be named.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: I think the Patriots.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: I think Rabe was going to get in there and
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: he's going to clean that place up pretty quickly. I
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: think Drake may is going to have a fantastic second
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: season if Rabel can hire the right offensive coordinator and
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: they go after like say, I don't know, T Higgins,
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: they got top ten draft pick. We'll see if they
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: go skill player, offensive line, maybe defense. I mean, I
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: think with the Cowboys roster there's still good enough to
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: be a playoff team. Maybe not the Patriots, but I
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: would trust the Patriots and Mike, I mean Mike Rabile
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: turn Tennessee around quickly right led him to an AFC
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Championship game with Ryan Tannehill right at quarterback, and their
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: defense was phenomenal and just unfortunately for the Titans. You know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: they made a Brandon dead move by moving on for him.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: And I don't think him and the GM got along
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: very well. But I think fra will if he can
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: win a Tennessee, he can win in New England. I
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: would just say New England. Okay, all right, So it
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: begs this question.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: And I also can open it up on the on
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the text line for those who have questions about this.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Who would you want to see be the Cowboys next
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: head coach? And I'll offer that up. You want to
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: throw it in on the tax line, you can do it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: All you have to do is text the word Texas
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: followed by your opinion on who the Cowboys next head.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Coach should be.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: And you know to eight one five three zero standard
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: messaging and data race may apply.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Anybody just leap off the page engine. Unfortunately they've all
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: been hired. Yeah, Belichicks, Well, I asked the question Sean Payton. Yeah,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: I would have loved those guys. Mike Frable would have
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: loved him as well. Out of the guys remaining, I
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: think you got to have a head coach who understands
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys circus. So I wouldn't be opposed to Dean
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Sanders just because I think he understands the media circus
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: very well, and he knows Jerry Jones farewell in that family.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Jason Witten, I know he knows it. Again, it concerns
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: me going from private school to the NFL. Now, maybe
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: he makes the right hires defensively and offensively. In terms
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: of coordinator spots, I would not want to see Kellen
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Moore as the next head coach.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Even though he's got an NFL assistant coaching experience, which
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the other two guys do not have.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: He does, but he also has a fantastic offensive line,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: a top two running back in Saquon Barkley, a top
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: five receiver in aj Brown, and he's got Dallas Goddard
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: who was phenomenal yesterday, and Devonte Smith and Jalen Hurts
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: is a good quarterback. So I don't you know, I
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: think this the thing with a lot of his coordinator position.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Craig is like, oh, go ahead and hire Ben Johnson,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: go ahead and hire this oc or that ocok how
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: good their offense was. Well, also look at how good
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: the roster was too. Like the thing that worries me
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: about Ben Johnson and hiring him from Detroit is Detroit's
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: got a fantastic offensive line, a great quarterback who can
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: manage the game well, and then you've got fantastic skill players,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: you know. So if you go from something like that
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: to a different a different team who might not be
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: as talented will there'd be a big drop off that
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: concerns me. Like if Ben Johnson went from the Detroit
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: offense the Las Vegas offense, I don't think it would
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: work out well. But go back to your answer, it's tough, Craig,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: I think I don't. I think these who I want,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: who Jerry's gonna hire is cann be vastly different.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Sure, that's why I asked you, because we know Jerry's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: going to probably do something different.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind Ben Johnson, I think.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: With Well, as long as you're talking to Troy, what
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: about Aaron Glenn?
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Is he not ready for the next step? There are
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: those who say he is based on what he's done,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and there are those who say he's no better than
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Todd Bowles.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: You can argue that it depends on and.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Had a nice season with Tampa Bay, but it ended
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: last night with an unexpected law home playoff loss to Washington,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: So you know, is is it because of that? He
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: is he hit the ceiling. Here's another thing, Mike Tomlin.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: There folks who say he's gone stale and it's worn
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: out in Pittsburgh.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: He's not had a.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Losing season, but been a long time since he's had
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: him make a deep run in the playoffs. So this
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: was a piece of sound from I guess it was
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: from yesterday's NFL NFL Today programming and or Fox NFL
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Sunday and what it's Terry Bradshaw and Jimmy Johnson and
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Michael Strahan, right, and they're talking about this Cowboys situation
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: that they're talking about Pittsburgh as well. Listen, listen to
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: this conversation from these guys talking about a theory that
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Jimmy would have about Pittsburgh and Dallas Houston.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: I can't get over the game last night when you
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: saw the Baltimore Ravens beat Pittsburgh Steelers. Steelers now lost
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: five straight games. I mean, that's just unheard of defense
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: was horrible, couldn't stop the run, couldn't stop the pass,
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: couldn't do.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Anything right last night.
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: And honestly, Jimmy.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: I'd have to go to you. You can't lose playoff games.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: This doesn't look anything like the Steeler teams we've seen. Yeah, yeah,
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: Terry Dow, I've got no inside information, but you know,
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: things are stale in Pittsburgh, things are stale in Dallas,
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: and just food for thought. How about a coaching swamp.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy's a Pittsburgh guy. Let him go to Pittsburgh,
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Mike Tomlin go to Dallas. Both franchises would be excited.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: But then the only problem med that.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: I mean you said he both stale, but one continues
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: to make the playoffs and the other one does it.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: That's not scale having more success.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Michael, all right, that's not entirely true. The Cowboys were
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: the number two seed last year in the playoffs, number
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: two in the NFC. Now they got beat in the
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: first round by Green Bay. So this thing about continuing
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: to not make the playoffs is not correct. That's why
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I've always said that when long worn fans gripe, make
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: sure you have your facts in order. And correct before
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: you take shots off of that, understand and don't in
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the case of straight and he's doing it, you know
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: obviously for a television program. What would you think about
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin if Pittsburgh was tired of him?
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Would you want him? Would you want him to in Dallas?
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: I love Mike tom but I don't think he could
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: mesh with Jerry Jones. Are you kidding me?
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: So there was that, okay, And and by the way,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: this I heard this sound this morning when I was
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: driving around and running some Marens, like running over the
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the rental car plation all that, and I heard Mike
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Hardball hard play that piece of sound. And that's why
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I wanted to reair it. If you were listening to
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the Morning kick Off, you heard Mike run it. And
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: then Harje also did this one.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: This had me laughing.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: This is Rex Ryan who still believes he has a
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: shot to be the Jets head coach, I guess for
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: some reason. And he was asked he was asked about
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Vrabel taking the New England job.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: The Coach of the Year in twenty twenty one is
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: forty nine years old, will be fifty when next season begins, Rex,
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: what's your reaction.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: Hey man, I mean, hopefully I get to kick this
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: guy's ask twice a year.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: Maybe your team, not my team, yes, but not me personally,
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: not him personally.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think he could take Mike Rabel if he
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: wanton on one to get I don't think he could
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: off of that. All right, we'll get some more of
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: your submissions.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: You have a suggestion, who would you want to see
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: as the Cowboys head coach? I we'll talk more about that.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: We're also going to hear from Roddy Terry, Texas men's
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: basketball coach. We had a lot to get too. Still
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: here on the program on AM thirteen.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: Under the Zone, We're back.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: It's the Craig Way Show with Hall of Fame broadcaster
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: and voice of the Texas Longhearts Craig Way.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: With you on a Monday afternoon here on AM thirteen
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: hundred Zone, when I was engaged in the text exchange
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: with the texter or said on how well Texas played
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: this season against the week SEC scheduled. The bottom line
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: is to try to win the games and if they
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: want to all the other games, all of the other
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: games that they played. They still you know, they won
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: thirteen games. It's going to because how else would you
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: characterize it. They played the games on their schedule. They
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: won the games on the schedule. Anyway, the reason I
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: was responding to that, and then somebody else said the
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: just texted and said, the chances that your team actually
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: wins a championship are low, so you have to enjoy
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the ride. It's part of being a fan. It could
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: be so much worse. I couldn't agree more. And if
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: you've been a fan for some time, you know this.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: You know this no matter what team you root for.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: But for the purposes of this conversation, you'd have to
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: do it as I mean, you were a student at Texas,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: and you were a student at Texas when things were
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: not so great on the football field, right, you.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Could say that craig first year was Texas is back,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: shout out Joe Tests when they were in fact not back.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: And then of course five and I was there through
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Tom Herman's tenure as well, and the highlighted.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing. Here's the thing about Tom Herman.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: He had four seasons here, did not have a losing record,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: and won four bowl games. But the high water mark
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: was that one New Year six Sugar Bowl win over Georgia.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: That was it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: And before then it's Alamo Bowls. There's a Texas Bowl
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: and an Alamo Bowl, and there's other Alimo ball I mean,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: it just it didn't plateau the way this has and
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: crescendo the last two years, is my point.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: And I think people forget too Craig that not to
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: strip anything away from that team, because that was a
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: fantastic team that did beat George and the Sugar Bowl
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: and they were the better team, but they also got
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: into that Sugar Bowl because Oklahoma got an automatic bid
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: into the College Football Playoff. Texas would have been I
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: think likely Craig either playing in the Almo Bowl or
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: maybe they put in the Alma Bowl that year if
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: not for the Oklahoma winning the Big Twelve.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: So that's I think that's the perspective that I was
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: trying to make about here. Remember where they were pretty recently.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking two decades ago or whatever. I'm talking
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: about within the last six seven years and leading up
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: to win, Sark took over. So I'm just saying bear
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: that in mind as you try to evaluate not only
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: this season, but what's happened in the past two years
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: where this team has gone twenty five and five, won
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: a conference championship, been in the final four two years
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: in a row, and beat two conference champions in the
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: playoffs this year.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: Knocking on the door, Sarcas, Texas knocking on the door,
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: and yeah you can. You can nitpick and go back
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: to the two failed drives and one against Washington and
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: one against Ohio State. But also Texas is right there
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: and it's not like crag that this it's going away
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: anytime soon. The waist Sark has built this program up
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: and the way he's recruited and use the transfer portal
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: and brought in this coaches there, Texas is in a
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: fantastic spot to be right back there again next season,
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: in the year after that and going forward.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, a couple of things, A couple of things on
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: the tech line. Somebody said let's get Sark for Dallas.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Someone had to say it. I hope that's not the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: And I don't think. I don't think Jerry Jones is
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Sarks kind of guy, as is me. But is Sark
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: good enough, qualified enough? I think the coach in the NFL.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Of course I do, but I hope he hope he doesn't.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Hope he sticks around.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: I think we would we would have known by now
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: Craig if he was wanting to get back into the NFL. Yeah,
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: and siding that we've already heard stuff about Dion's camp
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: reaching out to the Raiders, we have not heard anything
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: about that from Sark. NFL is a completely different animal
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: and the Cowboys are in their own different tier. As
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: we already have covered on this program many times.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Somebody said, what happened the night before last we're talking
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: about the I think the satellite dropout. So tried listening
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: to a portable ready one of the radio stations in Austin,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: but couldn't. My driver try to pick you up on
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: one of the stations in Dallas, but cannot find you either. Now,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: we were on ten eighty AM in Dallas on kild
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: But they could well have been afflicted by the same
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: satellite issues that happened there intermittently, that happened during the
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl and then during the postgame show as well,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: And I would say that might have been what you
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: encountered with some satellite issues. I'm not one hundred percent
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: certain about that, but that's possible that it could be
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: that all right with long worn basketball. Texas, of course,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: has played two close games against the number two and
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: number one team in the country, but they didn't win
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: either game. And in the post game on Saturday against Tennessee,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I was talking about those two games, the five point
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: loss to Auburn, number two in the country, and the
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: four point loss to number one Tennessee. Now Tennessee has
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: since dropped out of the number one spot after losing
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: to Florida a few nights prior to that, but it
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: was two close calls against two really good teams. First
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: time Texas had ever played number two in the country
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: number one in the country.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: I'm back to back games, and in.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: The evaluation of it, I referred to it as a
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: gut punch, and then I stop myself. Talked about the
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: gut punch last year, and I said, I might be
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: feeling a little PTSD. I said from last night meeting
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Friday night in Arlington with gut punches because of the
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: way it went down. Disappointment, yes, and trying to build
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: off that going to Oklahoma. So Rodney Terry was asked
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: first and foremost on a couple of injury updates. We
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: knew on Saturday that Kenda Weaver was going to be
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: out and definitely. In fact, Rodney mentioned it on Longhorn Weekly,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: which we recorded on Wednesday night and it aired on
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Thursday night last week. Now we're back into a regular
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Thursday night live six o'clock at Plucker's Mode, and so
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: this Thursday night at six o'clock will be live from
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Pluckers at six o'clock the West Campus location at twenty
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: two twenty two Reo Grand And in the show on
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: last week, Rodney said, coming out of that Auburn game,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: that's when Kenda Weaver hurt his hip area. It's like
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: a hip flexer thing, and they put an indefinite tag
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: on it because they don't know how long it could be.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Could be two weeks, three weeks depending. It's kind of
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: almost like that oblique thing. You just don't know. The
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: only thing that can heal it is rest and then
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: eventually some flexibility exercise things, and Warren Young the team
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: trainer and Darby Rich the strength coach, they'll work with.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Him on that.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: But he's out and definitely, and then Tremont and Mark
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: got banged up, but came back into the ball game.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: So the first question that went to Rodney Terry this
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: morning on the media zoom was how about updates on
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Kendal Weaver and from my market, if they aren't able
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: to play against Oklahoma, how will this affect the rotation?
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: Treymond was back to practice today and had a really
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: good practice for us today. So uh I wanted for
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: him to be pretty much for a tilt uh come
• 42:18
  Speaker 7: come Wednesday night.
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: Ware did a great job with him, Uh yesterday in
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: the recovery and rehabit and all that good stuff. Kendall
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: Weaver will will not be available still. You know he's uh,
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: he's sustained an interest. It's gonna take a little time
• 42:34
  Speaker 7: uh to get him back. Uh you know, one hundred percent. Uh.
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: In regards to playing other young players, UH, I do
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: like the way our young guys are practicing and competing.
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: Uh So, so there's always an opportunity uh for for
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: guys that suit up and dress for you know, on
• 42:53
  Speaker 7: every game day.
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: Uh So you know there's.
• 42:56
  Speaker 7: An opportunity I think at all times for all of
• 42:58
  Speaker 7: our guys.
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: We expect all of our guys be ready to play.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, next Rodney was asked what he's learned about his
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: team the way they were competitive and had opportunities to
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: win both games but did not win either game.
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: Well, I think the thing that we talked about over
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: the last two games.
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: You know, one, if you go back to the Tennessee game,
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: we really value taking.
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: Care of the basketball really well.
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: I mean, we had five turnovers in that game against
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: the number one defensive team in the country. And when
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: you're going into that game, they would they would do
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: a great job making it kind of a grind out
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: game where you had to value taking care of the
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: basketball and you had to have a physical mindset. Ray
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: Borders teams have always been good rebounding teams.
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: When you're going into that game that we were.
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: Gonna have to try to limit their second chance opportunities,
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: and in this league for that matter, over the course
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: of the three games, we've had to really try to
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: work harder trying to limit other teams second chance opportunities.
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: You know, just the physicality when that ball goes up
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: on the glass, that's when the game is on. It's
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: the game within the game, and I think that that's
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: where we've kind of had our shortcomings a little bit
• 44:03
  Speaker 7: and given teams opportunities for second chance, But our guys
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: have you know, been excited about trying to get better
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: with it.
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: I mean we worked. We worked almost every day that we.
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: Have an opportunity to have a physical practice. We worked
• 44:15
  Speaker 7: really hard at trying to get better with our blockouts
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: and finishing possessions with physical blockouts. But that's that's been
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: the toughest part there. I thought we won the fifty
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: to fifty game against Tennessee.
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: We were first to the floor.
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: We played, you know, Texas competitive basketball in terms of
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: trying to.
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: Win that part of the game.
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: And I think we've improved in that area from day
• 44:37
  Speaker 7: from from the first game of Conference player.
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: I thought Texas A and them got every fifty to
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: fifty ball at third place. And again, it's the game
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: within the game.
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: It's the battles within the battle of the game that
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: really in games like this have really been the the
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: siding factor in the games.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna hear some more from Rodney. We
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: need a break. When we come back. We'll hear some
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: more from Rodney Terry talking about this Texas team as
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: they get ready to leave tomorrow for Norman, Oklahoma, and
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: they have a nine o'clock tip off nine pm Central
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: time tip off from the Lloyd Noble Center against Oh You.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: We'll hear more from Artie coming up on AM thirteen
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: under the Zone.
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: Back to the Craig Ways Show.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Connect with Craig through the text.
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: Line by text Team Texas to eight one three zero follow.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: My data rates may apply.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: What the man was saying, with standard messaging and data
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: rates may apply.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: That's what he was saying. If you want to text
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: the program, always enjoy Have you text the program? So
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: that's cool, and uh, you know whatever you want to
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: hit us up with. I did open up say who
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: would you want to be if you're a Cowboys fan?
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: If you're not a Cowboys you probably don't need to
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: weigh in on that kind of thing, because that this
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: belongs to those long suffering Cowboys fans like Cameron Parker.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Cam. Let me ask you this.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: You you mentioned that when when last week, and it
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: was certainly understandable that Jerry Jones, when he refused to
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: grant the Bear's permission to interview Mike McCarthy. You said,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: and you weren't the only one. Many many including myself, said, well,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: that probably means that he's going to keep Mike McCarthy.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: And then you know, you have to remember Jerry. Jerry
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: exists on a totally different plane than us. You know,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: he's kind of like to borrow from sign Forel Bizarro Jerry,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: you know Bizarrow, Jerry duns. So every thought he was
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: going to keep Mike McCarthy's not going to keep Mike McCarthy.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Now at the time last week you said that means
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: I'm out again for all of twenty twenty five. So
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: so I put it to you, Cameron Parker, Cameron Dallas
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Parker does hit on the highre as to whether you're
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: back in on watching the Cowboys. So you know, if
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: it's if somebody you're not on board with, then then
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: you're not going to watch. Like who give me a name,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: You give me a name, Who would you?
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Who would you? If it's Kellen Moore?
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I might just check in out of curiosity, But
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to be like all in reading every
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: single report in training camp to do that. Oh yeah, okay,
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: all right, Oh yeah, I mean I even did it
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: sometime this past summer, and then I kind of realized
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: during the summer with the futility, this is not gonna
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: This team is not going to be very good. We're
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: talking about Ezekiel Elliott in training camp. So if it's
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: someone like Dion or Belichicks, somehow they pay that ten
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: million dollars buyout that one out of U n C,
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: and you know, we'll see how the off season goes.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: But okay, Aaron Glenn depends on who his coordinator hires.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: Are guys like Aaron Glenn. You know, it all depends
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: on who they hire as like the offensive coordinator.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, all right, So anyway.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: But I don't I don't think Jerry's smart enough to
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: hire a coordinator like that. If it's Pete Carroll, I
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: think I would be interested in it. But also Pete
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: might just be past his prime.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's interesting. That'll be interesting to see if that
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: indeed turns out. Hey, Sark and Austin, Pete and Pete
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: in Dallas. You know a lot of thinking, yeah, all
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: of that stuff.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Let's hear a little more from Longhorn's head coach, Rodney
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Terry talking to Texas Basketball. Okay, a few minutes ago,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: we heard him talk about Kenda Weaver's gonna be out
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: for a while. It's and I can tell you it's
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: it's a hip flexor thing, is what they're saying. Or
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: you know, it's with that muscle there in the hip area.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I have flucture issue, do you really?
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sucks.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: I didn't know you had that.
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: Remember when I was out for him back because of
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: my head flexer?
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Oh wow.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's the reason why Kenner weavers on crutches because yeah,
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: if you've hurt that thing, right my lord. Yeah, So
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: he's going to be out for a while. And Sark
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: was asked if he takes on a bigger leadership role
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: with regard to the team.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Kim is a big He's a big loss to
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: our team.
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: You know, he's Uh, he's one of our toughest guys
• 49:27
  Speaker 7: on the team. He's a guy that hangs his hat
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: on make him win and plays for us uh throughout
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: the course of games. Uh and and plays with the
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: chip on his shoulder, you know, their entire time doing it.
• 49:40
  Speaker 7: You know, I've asked him to stay engaged with our team.
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: Uh and see see the game through a coaches and
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: lins right now and try to help your players as
• 49:50
  Speaker 7: you as you see the game through a coaches lins
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: in terms of trying to help guys, seventy seven rebounds
• 49:56
  Speaker 7: went out the door.
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: When when uh when when Kendall's not.
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: Playing for us, That's what he had to this point
• 50:02
  Speaker 7: right now, and he's always one of those guys you
• 50:05
  Speaker 7: could count on that could give you some really impactful
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: and meaningful rebounds and key times you know, who can
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: emerge and do that for us? Right now, at this time,
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: I think we have a number of different guys that
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: are more than capable of doing it. They've they've got
• 50:20
  Speaker 7: to do it for us. Though, you know, Jason kenn
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: has a great physical body. We need him to be
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: a guy that rebounds the basketball for us, and and uh,
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: you know, kind of takes up that slack a little bit.
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: We need our we need our big wings, we need
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: trademond marks rebound down for us. And when he traded,
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: come down and get some rebounds as well. You know.
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: You know, so those guys, I think, by committee, we
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: know that we hold Art and and and Caten to
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: pretty high levels of of of trying to rebound for us.
• 50:49
  Speaker 7: A lot of times they're they're dealing with some of
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: the better rebounders, so they're they're really trying to hold
• 50:54
  Speaker 7: their blockout, so other guys that have opportunity to come
• 50:56
  Speaker 7: down and get rebounds.
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: Our guards have got to come down to help us.
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: Rebounders will the thoughts from there on all the others
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: who have to pitch in. He was also asked how
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: does he make sure that his message, and it's not
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: just Rodney's message.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: If you've been around the team as.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: We have, you know that the entire coaching staff plays
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: a plays a part in this, plays a role in this.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Steve McClain and Byron Jones and Brandon Chappelle and obviously
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Frank haith uh with with Darby rich the strength coach,
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: They're all kind of pitching in in terms of the
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: support of what they have for the players and instruction
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: and inspiring them and all that sort of thing. But
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: Roddy was asked, how does he make sure that the
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: message does not get lost to the players and that
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: the guys stay on board despite the early stumbles and
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: conference play.
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: Bob the the you know, our whole approach.
• 51:51
  Speaker 7: Is always about trying to encourage I as to be
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: everyday guys, you know, And I think that starts with
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: the topic thoughts with about thelf. They see me coming
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: in and I'm down and I'm moping and I'm not
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: feeling great about what we're doing, then they're probably gonna
• 52:04
  Speaker 7: be the same way, you know. But I like to
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: pride myself and being the same guy whether I'm winning,
• 52:10
  Speaker 7: whether I'm losing. Okay, you're having a good day, you're
• 52:12
  Speaker 7: having a bad day, I'm the same guy every day.
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: So I don't ever get too high. I'll never get
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: too low. And I strongly encourage him to be that
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: same way. And I'm a man of a lot of
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: strong faith. I know God's never brought me this far.
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: It or not.
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: Did I be with me through good times in bad times.
• 52:29
  Speaker 7: So you know, there's nothing you can't overcome. There's no
• 52:31
  Speaker 7: obstacles in life that you can't overcome that's put in
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: front of you if you have strong faith. And I
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: encourage our guys to have strong faith and.
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: Live by that every day. Not just why you're here.
• 52:43
  Speaker 7: Playing basketball at University of Texas. You're gonna have to
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: do it in life. There's gonna be a lot of
• 52:48
  Speaker 7: adversity coming your way in life.
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: But if you have strong faith and.
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: You're a believer, nothing you can't overcome and you can't
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: push through with.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: He was also asked that how much does that faith
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: get tested and how challenging it is right now with
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: so many injuries popping up and down from before the
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: season to early in the season to right now.
• 53:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not easy, you know, but that's that's team sports,
• 53:10
  Speaker 7: and that's what that's why you have a team.
• 53:12
  Speaker 6: You know, they're gonna be guys go down and.
• 53:15
  Speaker 7: Next man mentality where the next guy has to try
• 53:18
  Speaker 7: to step up and be rented and ready to play.
• 53:20
  Speaker 7: And you know, all you want in life is an
• 53:23
  Speaker 7: opportunity and a lot of our young guys and even
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: guys that are that are playing, all you want is
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: an opportunity. So but I think you have to be
• 53:29
  Speaker 7: prepared for that opportunity when it presents itself as well,
• 53:32
  Speaker 7: so you seize the moment. But hasn't been easy, and
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: I know, you know a lot of people deal with
• 53:38
  Speaker 7: in team sports. You have to deal with injuries. It's
• 53:40
  Speaker 7: all part of the game. It's all part of the sport.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 53:43
  Speaker 7: I think it's how you continue to push forward and
• 53:46
  Speaker 7: stay the course and continue to try to keep your
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: team moving forward, you know, Uh, with the guys that
• 53:53
  Speaker 7: you do have available to play at a high level.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll hear some more from Rodney Terry coming
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: up next hour as well, but we we have some
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: more pro football notes to get to next when we
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: continue on AM thirteen under the Zone thirteen under his
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: own camera. That I was just talking during the break
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: because a cute little puppy dog in the uh in
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: the station today. I believe it belongs to Gizelle, our
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: programming goddess, So I mean our promotions got us. So
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: she had a little pub cute little puppy in there.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: You said, it brought back memories and when we were
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Acrosstown and it was like a dog friendly.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Zonees good doggy daycare it was. There were all kinds
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: of dogs.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: There and then one of them took a dump in
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: the in the air study and that nobody even knows.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: It was on the corner.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Bucket got Bolt was over there and he's like, did
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: an entire morning show with with a pile of dog poop, right,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: that had happened over the weekend, and he didn't notice
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: in the left. Later Chad Hastings came in to do his.
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: Show and noticed it afterwards, So Anyway, we hope you got.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Through the weekend.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, As we mentioned, there's one other NFL game tonight,
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Rams Vikings. There are those of us who are Rams
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: fans have a little PTSD even it comes to the Vikings.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: They've met seven times in the playoffs, and the Vikings
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: have won five of the seven games. In fact, the
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Rams have won I think their two wins are two
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: of the last three, but maybe even I don't think
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: about it, just back to back. They won the year
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: they went to the Super Bowl in one I think, uh,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: and then it was and then they won a few
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: years after that or something. Anyway that when I was
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: a kid growing up, they were just continually frustrated by
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: those really good Viking teams that just could not get
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: over the hump at the Super Bowl. Our question on
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: the text line was with the announcement today that Mike
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: McCarthy's contract will not be renewed, and you could say
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: fired if you want to. That's that's okay. It's just
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: his contract expired. They're not renewing it. So call it
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: what you want, you know, whether firing or just not renewal,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: non renewal, whatever the deal is. And Jerry Jones talked
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: about it and said it was weird. The one thing
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: that he said, Jerry's always good for saying something that
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: just hits different with you.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: Here's the quote.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: He says, over the past week, Mike and I had
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to conduct a joint review of all aspects
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: of the past season, our players and staff, and also
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: spent considerable time discussing the road forward for the team.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: These discussions were thorough and received an appropriate amount of
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: time and depth to cover. That's all well and good.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: And then and then, and then.
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: He said this, prior to reaching the point of contract negotiations,
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: though it became mutually clear that it would be better
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: for each of us to add in a different direction.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not quite understanding it said they had
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: these real, thorough discussions, received an appropriate amount of time
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: and depth to cover, but prior to reaching the point
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: of contract negotiations, it became.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Clear this isn't gonna work out. So I'm trying to
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: figure out.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Where where it shaded into that, where it went from
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: having these in depth discussions. I think we need to
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: do this, we need to do that. Yeah, I don't
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: even think we need to talk about contract.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, where where was the gray area? Where did it?
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: Where did it become a parent?
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: He has been saying for days, as we know, going
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: on back to the end of the regular season, that
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: the hay was in the barn based on what he
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: was going to do and evaluating everything.
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: So if the hay was in the barn, then why
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: wasn't Mike McCarthy let go right right after the Monday
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: morning after the Cowboys lost to whoever? Yeah? Yeah, it's
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: so backwards it doesn't even make any sense to me.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to explain it, and I don't
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: know if Jerry Jones knows how to explain it. And
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he'll Does he have a radio hit tomorrow
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: on one O five three or over the ask them
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: about it, and I guarantee you'll give a four minute
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: answer that'll have like four different jerryisms in it. Maybe
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: the moon will be mentioned into it, who knows. And
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: it won't make any sense. It's just it's just Jerry's reasoning.
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: That's the way he thinks. And I don't know, correct.
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: I wish I had a better answer for you, But
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's any logic into what he's thinking,
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: because I don't understand why you just wouldn't move on
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: from him on Monday. And I don't know if, like
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: I guarantee you, he makes the move today, most teams
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: owners probably have a short list of coaches who they're
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: looking at before the even fire they're head coach.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: Right during the season.
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: I guarantee you some of these owners have an idea, Okay,
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: these are the five coaches I'm looking at if we
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: do move on. Jerry's probably just doing that list right now.
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: He's like, all right, you know, is he still around now?
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Reportedly the Bears and Saints are interested in McCarthy. Of course,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: the Bears had that request for permission to speak with
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: him denied. They don't have to ask permission anymore.
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: So there on the text line, I offered up the question,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: I said, you know, who, who would you prefer to
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: be the Cowboys head coach? And uh, one guy said,
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: you have to think about this now, any coach named Sean.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: So think about the Shawns that are out there. Peyton, McDermott, McVeigh, mcvayh.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: So there, so that's three Shawn's. I don't know if
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: there's any other se.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so and if you say any coach with
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: him c in his name, well, that would include McCarthy
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: because you have McVeigh and you have.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: Bills. Aren't firing McDermott. No, Rams are not moving away
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: from McVeigh. No, No, they're saying go after him, try
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: to get him. But you can't.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: You can't do that, you know, it'd be tampering. You'd
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: have to be after the seasons over and wouldn't do that.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: And Sean McVay would never go to Dallas, he would
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: never be the There's a better chance Lincoln Riley would
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: be the head coach and Sean McVay.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a better chance McVay would just retire.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's talked about it a couple of times and
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: then he gets energized again by his group. The guy's
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: thirty nine or forty whatever. You know, who's our guy
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: in Miami McDaniels. Yeah, see anybody with him ceing their name, Well,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: that would include McCarthy. Unfor you, McDaniels, who's in Green
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Bay on the floor the floor for now, that's all
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: that younger, that younger thing mm hm. You know it's
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: been really quiet, really quiet in San Francisco. There's been obviously,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I know they've been very very disappointed without
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: and they had a ton of injuries this year too,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: but uh, how you know, it's it's been feast or
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: famine with.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: Uh, with Kyle Shanahan.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: It's either make the Super Bowl or completely missed the playoffs.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: So it's been it's been weird in that respect.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: He's had them in the Super Bowl what three times,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: twice against the Chiefs, and maybe that's it.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: Just twice, Yeah, once with Jimmy g and then once
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: with Brock perty Right.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Jimmy G, by the way, did not look like a
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: super Bowl quarterback when he quarterback the Rams in that
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: season finale against the See's.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: You know, he's not gonna be the next Sam Donald.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: I don't see the next reclamation project. I don't see that.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: I didn't see Sam Darnald doing what he's done. Though
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: it's been it's been quite uh quite a thing to
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: view to see him doing it. Somebody else said at
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: this point, Jerry Jones should just make himself head coach. Yeah,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: he can kind of be the puppeteer without having to
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: be the head coach, though, that's he could argue was
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: the head coach. When Jason Garrett, yep, was the head coach,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: he would be the funniest, the funniest higher Do you
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: think it would be Jason Garrett? If Jerry Jones announced
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: right now Jason Garrett's bring will that be the funniest outcome? Yeah?
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: I don't. Why would Jason Garrett ever want to come
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: back and work for him again? Money?
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, although I imagine he's pretty well compensated.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: NBC.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: Yep, he says like five words on the broadcast because
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: they have a seven man halftime show. I am you
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: know that.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: Linda asked me the other day when I was talking
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: about that question that somebody asked me about if I
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: thought that the that quin Ewers was the most underappreciated
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: long one quarterback, And I said, at least going back
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: to Chris Simms.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: And then to ask me last time, she goes, what's
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: Chris Sims doing today? And I pointed to the television cities.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: He's on Sunday Night football doing good. He does, he does,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: He does a really good job.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: And I will say this, he liked Quen Yours was
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: always really nice, really.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: Easy to deal with. Was friendly. Was was never never
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: an issue.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: And I you know, a typically cap obviously to the
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: media relations staff at Texas.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: John Bianco does a great job in Thomas Stepp.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: You know, they do a grace to fullaw do a
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: great job with football, and of course Scott McConnell with basketball.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: You know, the splendid job with what they do with
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: the student athletes, not just in putting out cranking out
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: game notes and stuff like that, but working with those
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: guys so that they can give more than just you know,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: the easy answer. They can be a little more thought
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: provoking in the things they have to say. And and
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: they've done a good job with that. And Chris was
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: one of those guys. He was he was glib, he
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: was he was fun to visit with.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: Cole was a guy that it took some cultivation for
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: a while his first year starting quarterback.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: Cole will be the first today.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: It was kind of rough Monday press conferences because then
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: the players are coming afterwards, like to do now, and
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: it's it was a little difficult. It was very very short,
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: three and four word generic answers.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: It just wouldn't wouldn't good.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: Now. He's a big ten analyst about that this guy's
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: on YouTube podcast.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's He's got a long, long way and I'm
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: very happy for him.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: I think I think we'll look back Craig on Quinn's legacy.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: It'll get it'll get better. I mean, he's third in
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: at all time passing yards, in passing touchdowns. At UT
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: he won a conference championship, the same number of conference
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: championships won by Colton Vince Young, two playoff berths, two
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: playoff wins, got into the semi finals, and you know,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: I think you could argue he brought Texas back from
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: the dead, you know, a five win program, and in
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: a short amount of time took him back to the
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: playoff and back to back years.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: And here's how I feel about this, and I know
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: you agree about this part. He didn't do it all himself.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: And he also when they had misfortune, didn't do all
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: of that himself. That's part of that quarterbacks getting you know,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: too much credit for the wins and too much grief
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: for the losses. But he had a lot to do
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: with the elevation of the program, a lot to do
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: with the elevation. Now in one of the things working
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: against him was one of the things working against Chris Sims.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: There was another quarterback, although in a slightly different thing
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: because Sims came in after Major apple White was the
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: established starter. And then Major tour the the a c
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: L in the Y two K Cotton Bowl against Arkansas,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: and then that's when you know, uh, you know a
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: lot of the the uh. And that was coming off
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: of being the Big twelve offensive player of the year
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: and uh, but that's when Sims started playing more. And
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: then fans were choosing sides. And if you visit with
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: our friend Rod Babers, who's stepping in tomorrow, isn't he
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Rod's coming into stepping travel So uh, Rod b will
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: be in here tomorrow about and Rod is very close
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: to Chris Sims.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: By the way.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: That Brotherhood of the Wood or whatever they call them,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: the their their their agreement that.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: Those two guys and Bo Scafe and uh, there were
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: you know, anyway they'll he'll.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: Talk about that.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: And and and Kyle Shanahan, by the way, is one
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: of those guys, one of that five, that group of
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: five of those guys. But anyway, you know, there was
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: already that competition thing built in here. There was no competition.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Quinn Ewers was the established starter. He was the starting
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: quarterback of this football team. But there was so much
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: anticipation about Arch and his eventual time coming that it
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: shaped a lot of folks opinions about Quinn good or
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: bad based on the fact that Arch is waiting in
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: the wings.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: You don't worry about that anymore now, those who were.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: All about wanting Arch to take the preponderance of the snaps,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get your wish coming up. And I think
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: he could be great for Texas. But by the same token,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: I think it would be unfair not to credit Quinn
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: Ewers with everything he did with this offense and with
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: this program while he was here. All Right, we're gonna
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: hear more from Rodney Terry coming up when we continue
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: on AM thirteen under the Zone. We continue on Monday
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: here on a thirteen hunderd the Zone. And somebody asked
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: me about could you repeat what you said about the
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: night before last and talk about the Tennessee game. Well,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: we've heard Rodney Terry pretty much address a lot of that,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: and we're going to do some more of that here.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: And this was from the media zoom from this morning
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: where he recapped the Tennessee and Auburn game and a
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: look ahead to Oklahoma. So the next question for him
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: was you hear our team talk about we got to
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: play our a game against really good teams, have to
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: do that, and they've shown flashes of it. So USh
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: for him was how close is this team to playing
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: what he classifies as an a game?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 6: You know what I think?
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 7: You know, you get better sometimes and losses, you know,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 7: and you don't have the results to show for it.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 7: You know, we play a really good I mean, we
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 7: play a really good Auburn team, a team I think
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 7: that have the chance to, you know, be a Final
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 7: four type team, a team that could win the whole thing.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 7: And they're good enough to win the whole thing. You know,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 7: do you come back and you play the team that's
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 7: been ranked number one and underfe a big part of
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: the season, who prized themselves in being a physical team
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 7: that plays really good defense and rebound, and you know,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 7: give or take the game within the game and the
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 7: battles within the battles of the game, the games in
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 7: the battles, and it's the winnable.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 6: Games for you.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 7: So you know, you know, you use those addedge sometimes
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 7: getting close you can't keep saying you're close. You just
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 7: got to keep working the process, you know. And I
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 7: think I think our guys again had great attitude. Have
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 7: we been disappointed we're coming up short against really good teams,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: we have, but they've come back and like today, they
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 7: came back with really good energy and had a really
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: physical practice today and really competed with each other and
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 7: hold each other accountable at a very high level.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: It does also kind of remind me of something Vick
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: Schaefer said, I think in the press conference after the
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: loss of South Carolina yesterday about against a team like that,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: you have to play really really well and throw the
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: first punch in South Carolina through the first punch, and
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: he said, and the second and the third, you know,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: that sort of thing. But against a really really good
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: team that you're measuring yourself against. And both the men's
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: and women's basketball teams have played the number two team
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: in the country in the same week or within one
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: week's time, and both came up short. Ben lost by
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: five dollar and the women were beating soundly by really
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: good South Carolina team, which even though UCLA is still
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: the number one team in the country, and they had
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: their game postponed against Northwestern because the fires in southern California.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: I've watched UCLA play this year. I don't think they're
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: as good as South Carolina. And I also trust the
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: words of a long time basketball person in the basketball
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: world who was an outstanding player in high school, in
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: college and won a state championship as a high school coach,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: and it was a great assistant coach for many many
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: years at the collegiate level. And that's my broadcast partner,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: Kathy Harston, and Kathy said in the first five minutes
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: of the game at the first media timeout, she said,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: it didn't take me long to see this is by
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: far the best team we've seen this year. And they
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: played some pretty decent teams, including Notre Dame on the road,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: but she said by far, and you could tell it
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: at the depth of the roster. Their leading scores are
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: not their starters. By the way, they have a whole
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: bunch of players at average eight, nine, ten, eleven.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: They have a bunch of players who do that.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: So the point is get you really have to be
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: playing your a game and at the top of your
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: game in order to have a shot to beat a
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: team like that, and That's what Rodney Terry was starting
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: to Dave. He's also asked if he's had to alter
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: his practice routine and how hard they work physically because
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: of all the injuries.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no, Josh, you definitely had to, right, you run
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 7: across your mind because you need you guys in games.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, obviously, we know we we get better.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 7: In practice, and I think our practice habits are our
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 7: game habits, you know. Uh, And we try to go
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 7: hard every day in practice so we can go hard
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 7: in games. I think there's certain things at certain times
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 7: that that you know, like today, I want to do
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 7: a lose ball drill, you know, and you know Jason Kent,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 7: you know, has a major risk you know situation.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 6: No, probably not gonna be able to do that lose
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 6: ball drill.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 7: I kind of wanted to do it, but I felt
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 7: like we did a pretty good job of the battle
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 7: and within the ballot being first to the floor the
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 7: other day against the physical team, So I chose not
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 7: to do that.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 6: We put the bubble up to day though.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 7: We got to continue to try to fix what we
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 7: have to fix in terms of our rebounding and having
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 7: a physical mindset to make sure we hit first and
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 7: try to hold our blockouts and have guys come.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 6: Down and rebound.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 7: So you know, you got to kind of pick and
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 7: choose where you think you could try to continue to
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 7: get better and things we need to fix.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 6: And that's an area that we know we need to
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 6: fix and something.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 7: We feel like collectively as a team and as a staff,
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 7: we continue to work at it, we can continue to
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 7: get better with it. We've gotten better. We've just played
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 7: some really good teams that done a great job, you know,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 7: going to that glass. Just like I mean, we'll play
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 7: another really good team in Oklahoma. This is probably Porter's
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 7: best team at Oklahoma, you know, and they do a great.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 6: Job attacking the glass as well. This whole league attacks
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 6: the glass.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that goes without saying it certainly does. So you know,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: this is another question, and correct me if I'm wrong,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: But I think I remember this camp that during the
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: all the fault camp workouts, people kept asking the l
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: question leadership, leadership, who's the team leader, who are the leaders,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And that's been happening a lot with
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: the basketball team lately, asking who has been stepping up
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: as the leader, if there's one specific person in the
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: locker room.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I think we have a collection of
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 6: older guys.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 7: You know, some guys again that a new drive situation,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 7: new to each other, but they've got a chance for
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 7: a short amount of time, they spend a lot of
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 7: time with each other, you know.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 6: I think again I've said it from.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 7: All the Loan Holt season alone, I think this group
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 7: really likes each other. I think they really try to
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 7: compete to try to make each other better, and I
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 7: think they're getting better at holding each other accountable, especially
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 7: in moments throughout the court of the game. In terms
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 7: of trying to stay connected in that suplinter, I think
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 7: Cayden Cedric has tried really hard over the course of
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 7: the uh, the entire season of trying to do that.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 6: You know, he's, uh, he's.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 7: Quietly played uh, some pretty good physical basketball, you know,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 7: over the course of uh this season. He's getting guys
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 7: that he's having to deal with, especially over the last
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 7: three games that are that are real games. I mean,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 7: when he when he comes out of the game, well
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 7: he's finished playing a game, He's he's pretty beat up
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 7: the next day. In terms of the physicality. It's a
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 7: physical game. But I think he's really tried to do
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 7: it by example and and as well as trying to
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 7: be a vocal guy, I've challenged some other older players
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 7: to do that and understand the urgency that you have
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 7: to play with this time of year, knowing that you know,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 7: this is really your last year of collegiate basketball, and uh,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 7: you know, the memories you're making and the opportunities you have,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 7: you only get this one time here. You got to
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 7: try to to always tell our guys try to have
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 7: no regrets, you know, but I would I would say, uh,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 7: between Kayt and Cedric, I've challenged ought to be to
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 7: be a guy that does one that regards I think
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 7: from day one, I've challenged Junior Larry to trying to
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 7: be that be one of those kind of guys as well.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 7: They're again older players, Jason Kint, you know, to name
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 7: a few in terms of older players, you know, I
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 7: think I think Jordan Pope's done a pretty good job
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 7: of it as well. He's not as vocal as I
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 7: would like for him to be, but I think his
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 7: play and how hard he's trying to he's playing harder
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 7: than he's ever played in his life defensively, so you know,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 7: he's making a lot of strides in that area as well.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: All right, there's some from Rtie. I have a little
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: more from Rodney Terry coming up.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: I got about getting ready for this matchup with Oklahoma'
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: got some other topics we'll get to as well when
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: we continue on AM thirteen.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: Under the Zone, it's the craig Way Show with the
• 1:16:52

• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: and then maybe some rain h that the there was
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: another I brought this up last hour, this thing about
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: all of the the arrangements that had been made to
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: move that playoff game.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: From so far to Arizona, and the other side of that,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: you know, Sean.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: McVay had his getting his team ready to go and
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: all this other kind of stuff. The this change in
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: venue is almost unprecedented. And and that's funny, it says
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: according to ESPN Research, which is just looking it up
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: really at Pro Football Reference dot com or something like that,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: I knew this only because of my weird mind. The
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: way it works, this will be the second time the
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: second playoff game in NFL history that is not played
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: at a team's home stadium, excluding Super Bowls.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: The one other time.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: That I knew about this, or one other time this
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: has happened was the nineteen thirty six NFL Championship game
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: between the Green Bay Packers and the Boston Redskins.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: Now, this was before they moved to Washington.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: And there's a history lesson for you, by the way,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: if you're wondering about how did Washington ever come to
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: use that term Redskins, it was originally the NFL franchise
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: was in Boston. They took the name Redskins after the
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: historic event the Boston Tea Party in December of seventeen
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: seventy three, when they had a lot of Patriots disguised
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: as Native Americans, and we know the history story about
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: them breaking open the chests of English tea to protest
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: the taxation on the tee and dumping it into the
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Boston Harbor. They called it the Boston Tea Party. Well
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: that's the reason why they were called the Boston Redskins.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: And then the franchise would move after nineteen thirty six
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: to Washington in nineteen thirty seven, and they won the
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: NFL title in their first year in DC. But in
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: thirty six they were still the Boston Redskins, and they
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: were supposed to play at Fenway Park, and the ticket
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: sales were so bad that George Preston Marshall, the owner
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: of the team, said, we're not going to do this here.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: You guys don't want to see the game here. Fine,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: we'll move it to the Polo Grounds in New York.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: So they moved to game to New York, and then
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: a few days after the game, the franchise was moved
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: to Washington. So it made me think about that because sometimes,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: you know, I was joking about this with Linda the
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: other day. I was trying to remember something and it
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: popped out of my mind, and I said, this is ridiculous.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: I can tell you that in nineteen forty three, the
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 3: New York Yankees beat the Saint Louis Cardinals four games
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: to win and win the World Series, but I can't
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: remember blah blah blah. I said, For example, I knew
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: that in nineteen thirty six they played that game of
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 3: the Polo Grants. I know that in nineteen thirty three
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: it was the first time they used divisions East and
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: West and the Bears played the Giants in the NFL
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: Championship and the Bears won the first one. That was
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: the first championship game that was played prior to that
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: was just who ever had the best record at the
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: end of the season. And there's weird how your mind works,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: how you'll remember some things, but trying to remember what
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: I had for dinner last night, or you know, where's
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: the last play, the last the last time I gashed
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: up the car, those things don't resonate with you.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: So anyway, uh.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: They also because the fires, they said they can use
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: they would be able to use so Fi Stadium as
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: a as a shelter if they had to by moving
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: the football game. And so there's still going to see
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: you on how that ultimately goes. Somebody again to the
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: text who asked about not being able to hear us
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: on the radio, I'll repeat it to you because already
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: said this. This was because of there were satellite interference issues.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: That's what we were told. That's why it wasn't It
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: wasn't anything to do with our radio station, because apparently
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: it happened in Houston and Dallas as well. So I
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: hope that answers your question because I know You've asked
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: it a couple of times, so I just want you
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: to know that was that was the reasoning behind it,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: all right. A couple of other things from Rodney Terry.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: He was asked about what he thought was the biggest
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: difference in what he has seen so far. We play
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: in the Southeastern Conference versus play in the Big Twelve.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 6: Oh, this is a super duper physical league.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 7: You know. In the Big Twelve, you know, you probably
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 7: have a Houston that you could throw in there, maybe
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 7: in our state, and you can throw into that match
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 7: to kind of physicality that we've had over the last
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 7: three games.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, we've had some slug fests. Three teams we played.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 7: I mean, they they gonna they throwing some helpmakers at
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 7: you in terms of the bodies that they can throw
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 7: at you. You know, the thing about this league, you know,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 7: you got older bodies that are that are crashing in
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 7: the bodies on a regular basis, and you've got to
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 7: be the wish stand that that Maine, you gotta be
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 7: the main You got to match that physicality, you know.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 7: And for us first three games, it's been physical teams,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 7: you know, and I think the game we played Oklahoma,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 7: you got another. You got the best offensive rebound in
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 7: the league and got one. So you talk about another
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 7: physical player that has a great body. He's been in school,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 7: I don't know, four or five years. That's the thing
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 7: about he's got He's a grown men right now. So
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 7: these are not young boys we compete against right now.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 6: But this league is a physical league. They let us
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 6: play on both ends of the floor.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 7: And you know, you have to just have that, and
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 7: you got to have that mindset, you know, And I
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 7: think you know, as we continue to navigate through this league,
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 7: you have to try to recruit to that. You know,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 7: there's a lot of teams that recruited to that. Now,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 7: understand what this league is about in that regards, you
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 7: better have some you better have some grown men.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: You know that the guy he was talking about, Sam Godwin,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: the post player for Oklahoma. Uh, it's pretty interesting to
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: hear him bring him up and said, I don't know
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: how long he's been here, four or five years or
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: whatever he was talking about. He said, I don't I
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: don't know how long he's he's been here four or
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: five years. Uh, talking about it. I can remember when
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: Godwin was playing for see this is what I was
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: talking about. You remember one thing that trying to remember.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: Wafford was who I was trying to think of. He
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: was the center for Wafford when they played in the
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: Southern Conference championship game against East Tennessee State. This was
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty. This was five years ago.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: The reason why I know this is that I broadcast
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: that game for Westwood One. Southern Conference basketball championship game
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: was in Asheville. I did it for Westwood One, and
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: East Tennessee State won, and that got their coach the
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: wake Forest Steve Forbes, the head coach now at wake Forest.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: I got him the waite Forest job, and I flew
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: the next day to Kansas City. And the day after that,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: the Big Twelve Tournament was shut down because of the pandemic.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: So the last basketball game I did for a long time,
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: several months, was that Southern Conference Tournament championship. And Sam
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: Godwin was the center for Wafford in that game. That
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: was five years ago, and he's still playing playing for
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: the Oklahoma Sooners. So he's he's at the very least
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: a sixty year senior because that was five years ago
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: to played, so at the very least it's his sixt year,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: if not more than that.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: Rodney was also.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: Asked about the toll that playing these games can take
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: on a basketball team and on a coaching staff as well.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Cory, I mean we talked to that guys all
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 7: the time about this whole month of January. It's about
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 7: the grind.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 7: You start conference playing, you start playing teams, you got
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 7: a body of work right now where people know, we
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 7: know what they're gonna do, they know what we're gonna do.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 6: Now it's gonna get down to who's gonna.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 7: Put who's will on who for forty minutes, you know,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 7: and and you know, and persevere through adversity of the game.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 7: You know, the game for forty minutes. And so that's
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 7: kind of what it gets down to right now. I
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 7: think a lot of times, you know, it's the mental
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 7: o the physical, you know. I think it's the psychic
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 7: of your team that you've got to continue to.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 6: Work with every day, you know. I like where our.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 7: Team is right now, I mean we we've obviously haven't
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 7: got the results we wanted to this point right now.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 7: And any time you don't have those kind of results,
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 7: I think obviously you're you're disappointed, you know, in terms.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 6: Of of not.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 7: Not being able to close it out and finish it out.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 7: But but I think their attitudes and their approach hasn't
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 7: changed coming to practice. We don't have anybody moping in practice,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 7: soone not coming in practice giving it.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 6: They're all and trying to get better and trying.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 7: To fix the things that we have to try to fix,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 7: which for us has been been glaring the second chance opportunities.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah there, it is got to be able to take
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: advantage of those things.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: We'll be back to wrap up today's edition of the
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: program here on AM thirteen under the Zone.
