  Speaker 4: Instead of hearing eminence from from the Who, what you're
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: hearing there is the sounds of the guests who great
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: band from the late sixties to early seventies there and
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: I just kind of a moved the day because lind

  Speaker 5: In Fort Worth.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: A Dickey's are in a great concert venue. By the way,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: that building is kind of like a cut down version
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: of smaller sized version of the American Airlines Center Dallas,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: built by the same architecture firm on and I think
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: we've seen James Taylor Jackson brown in there. Had a
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: lot of fun calling the women's Sweet sixteen and Elite
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: eight games in that building last March, as well as
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: a December non conferencemaner for Baylor for Texas women in
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Routes are going to the final four. Longhorn Men play
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Texas A and M in that building several years ago,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: right after an opening got a win in that. It's
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: a really nice building and it's a really good concert venue.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: And the guests who are back together, Burton Cummings, Randy Bachman,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: they're there with the band, and so Lind and I
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: are trying to see as many of these elder statesmen
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: artists and bands before they hang it up and that's
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: why we over the past few years have seen Bob
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Seeger and Eric Clapton and Little River Band and ninety
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: two year old Herb Alperd.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: That's not classic rock.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: It's a totally different genre of music, but a lot
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: of fun with that. We're going to see Chicago and
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Sticks next month or the later this month and Doobie
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Brothers in Santana, so we try to do that. And
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: the guess Who are playing with Don Older formerly of
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: the Eagles opening for them. But of course, you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman put the guests Who together
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: and then when the band split up, Randy Bachman went
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: on to.

  Speaker 6: like I haven't spent a weekend in Austin in a while,
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: between going home to d C and now going out
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: there this weekend and spend some time with Allison.

• 4:13
  Speaker 5: What do they do with restaurant week in Houston?
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: They'll offer you a lunch, a fixed menu brunch, lunch, dinner.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Depending on where you go.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: There's different price ranges and you can essentially get a
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: really good deal on a three or four course meal.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Wow, are you listing Austin restaurant tours? It would be
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: nice to have something something like that. Yeah, so I
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: look forward to that. Okay, things to get to on
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: the program today, We're gonna give away three more copies
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: of Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine. We've been doing it
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: every day this week, we're gonna do it every day
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: next week, we're gonna do it every day, follow the
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: following week, the third week in August, three consecutive weeks,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: giving away three copies per day, one per hour on
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: the program, and we mix it up. We mix it
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: in terms of two different ways to win, but to
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: utilize one specific entity to qualify yourself to win. And
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: the two different ways to win is we mix either
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: a random entry or a trivia response, and so we
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: do it alternating. On one day, we'll do two random
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: entries and one trivia response, and then the next day
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: we'll do two trivia responses and one random entry. Today
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: it's two of the random sort, meaning this this is
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: how it works. For those of you who already know
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: the drill, indulge me a little bit, as I let
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: everybody else know. If you haven't already done it. On
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: your smartphone, be it an iPhone or an Android, you
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: download the iHeartRadio app. Just go to your app store
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: and your download. It's really easy to do and it's free.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: It doesn't cost anything. You just download the iHeart Radio app.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Once you have the app downloaded, you do a search,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: go into your search bar, search window, a little search
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: magnifying glass, whatever it is, your search window, and you
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: search AM thirteen hundred zone. The minute you search AM
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: thirteen under the zone on the iHeart Radio app, it
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: pops right up. And when it does, you'll see two buttons.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: One's a little white triangular button that's to listen to
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: this program and other programs there on the iHeartRadio app.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: It's the other one for the contesting. It's a little
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: red button with a white microphone. That microphone is the key,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: that's our talkback microphone. It gets you into the talkback feature.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: So what you do is you can leave us a
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: message by pushing that red button. You leave us a
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: message of up to thirty seconds. Now, for the purposes
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: of this contest, you don't have to do that. You
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: don't have to you know, you don't have to leave
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: us thirty seconds. All you have to do is give
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: us the answer that we're looking for. When we do
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: it randomly, as we'll do this hour, all you have
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: to do is say I want the magazine, and if
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: you happen to be the person doing it getting it,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: you'll get it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: And in this case, we're gonna do this right now.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Number two, Number two, whoever is the second person to
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: get in using the iHeartRadio app, and you download it,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: then you search AM thirteen under the zone.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: It pops up.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Then you hit that little red button with a white
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: microphone that cues the talkback microphone, and then all you
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: have to do is say I want the magazine. Second
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: person in the queue today, we'll get a copy of
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: the magazine.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: This hour.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: We're gonna do another random one like that in the
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: four o'clock hour. We'll have a not too difficult trivia
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: question for you to address coming up in the three
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: o'clock hour. So we've got that, as we have throughout
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: the course of this week. In the next two weeks,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: same story goes with our SEC football previews during this
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: three week time period, as fall camps are finally underway.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: We've heard from Sark, We're gonna hear from some log
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Horn players today. You have an opportunity to get a
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: preview of some of the other SEC programs, and what
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: we do is we'll visit with a different play by
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: play voice of the fifteen other SEC program Somebody texted
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: in on the text line yesterday Jake, And they said, Jake,
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: or are you going to be asking Craig about Texas? Since
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: he's asking all the other play by play guys about
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: their schools, It's not like we're not talking about Texas.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: What is it you think that we do here?
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we do.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: We have a lot of conversation about the laggards, certainly,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: but I appreciate the sentiment. On Monday of this week,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: we began the week by visiting with Jeff Danceler, the
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: newly installed football play by play voice of the Georgia Bulldogs.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: He'd been doing baseball, now he's adding football to his duties,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: and Jeff joined us to talk about the defending SEC
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: champion Georgia Bulldogs. On Tuesday, we visited with Chuck Barrett,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: play by play voice of the Arkansas Razorbacks. Now, I know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: I know you may be thinking, wait a minute, Georgia
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: was picked to finish first and Arkansas was picked to
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: finish last. What's the sequencing on that? There is no sequencing,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: it's just whoever is available a certain day. I've been
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I've been in touch with all of the guys, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: so we're working out a schedule that works out for
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: everybody where. A different play by play voice joins us
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: each day on the show, but it's up to their
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: schedules on how it works and the time frame and
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: all of that as well. So that's why it was
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Jeff Dantler, the Georgia play by play voice in the
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: first on the first day on Monday, and then on
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Tuesday it was Arkansas Razorbacks play by play voice Chuck Barrett.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: On Wednesday, Sean Kelly, the play by play voice of
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: the Florida Gators, joined us, and yesterday was Tom lee
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: each the voice of the Kentucky Wildcatching. Today we go
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: to Mississippi State Startville, Mississippi and what is with our
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: good friend Neil Price, the play by play voice of
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: the Mississippi State Bulldog. So we'll do every day we'll
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: have an opportunity and visit with a different play by
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: play voice around the SEC to get you into the
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: SEC mode with our SEC football previews. As I mentioned,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: we're gonna hear from Longhorn players. Today, We're gonna hear
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: from Jelani McDonald, We'll hear from Ryan Niblett, We'll hear
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: from Hero Canoe and their responsibilities and they're looking forward.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: To the coming football season.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Speaking of football, it returned last night Pro Football did
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: sort of you know it. It was the Hall of
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Fame game, and I decided that I wanted to watch
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: some of it because I normally don't really watch the
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Hall of Fame game because very few, if any regular
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: starters play hardly any reps at all. It's because coaches, certainly,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: first preseason game, you don't want to get a key
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: player hurt, so you're playing a lot of backups and
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: guys that are also trying to earn roster spots. That
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: was the case last night, But I was intrigued by
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: what I might see at the quarterback spot. Carson Beck,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: the former Georgia Bulldog and Miami Hurricane who had them
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: in the National Championship last year playing for the Arizona
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Cardinals and then for the Carolina Panthers.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: You had one guy that.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: We knew we were going to see for Carolina was
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Kenny Pickett, the quarterback there that formerly of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: But what I wanted to see was Haynes King, the
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Longview High School product who played for his dad, John King,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: a Hall of Fame coach at Longview. They won the
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: state championship in sixth A Division two. It called that
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: game back on TV back on twenty eighteen. He started
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: off his collegiate career Texas A and M and then
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: after injury, transferred to Georgia Tech. Became the A SEC
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Player of the Year last year, but went undrafted. So
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: signed as a free agent by Carolina and how would
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: he do? So that's why I wanted to watch some
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: of it, did you? I know you weren't necessarily kind
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: of dialed in mentally to trying to watch any of that,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: did you.
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: I was add at an event and we actually had
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: a pretty good two screen setup. We had the NFL
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: the Hall of Fame game on one and the Indiana
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Fever Las Vegas Aces game on the other, and the
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: sound was over there. I actually just finished Christine Brennan's
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: book Yeah on on Caitlyn Clark, uh huh.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: And so I really enjoyed watching that.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: Obviously, she had some highs and some lows down the
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: stretch of that game last night, but I did get
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: to see a good chunk of the game, including a
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: couple of really nice throws from Carson bag who maybe
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: I wasn't the.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Most impressed with coming out of school.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: But that game tells me he's going to get a
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: chance at some point this season to be the guy
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: for the Arizona Cardinals who want to see what they
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: have there in what will likely not be a very
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: good season.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: He has a chance to compete I think with Jacobe
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Brissett for the starting job there.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think when they get down to the
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: end of the year, it's just going to get to
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: a point where they got to see what they have
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: because they're going to be picking probably in the top
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: five or seven again and there's going to be good
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: quarterbacks coming out next year. So I think he'll get
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: a shot based on maybe this game. We'll see how
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: it looks going forward. But Haines King, I mean, did
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: exactly what you hoped he would, made a big impression,
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: competed his tail all that's never been a problem for him,
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: and it was really fun to watch.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Beck completed fifteen or nineteen passes for one hundred and
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: eighty yards in a touchdown. Had a QB rating if
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: you care to know about that one twenty five point four.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: The new head coach, Michael Lafleur, who'd been the Rams
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: offensive coordinator was impressed that he wasn't really surprised and
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: thought they might have an opportunity to do that. And
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Haines King not only through two touchdown passes, ran for
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: the game winning score on the.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Final play of the game.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: And as I mentioned yesterday, I got a chance to
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: visit with him down in Houston a couple of weeks
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: ago and had a really good chat with him, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: he was looking forward to having the opportunity to compete
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: and show what he could do for Carolina. And now
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: we know Bryce Shong is the starter there, but Haines King,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: and you know, did he do enough in the first
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: game to supplant?
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: Can he pick at his back up? Well? No, but
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: it's early days yet. That's the thing.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: They're gonna have three more preseason games, so he'll have
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: an opportunity to do that.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: So we'll see how that goes all right.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Up next Well, also want to let you know we
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: do have inconceivable, Jake. We know what inconceivable on a
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Friday means, even as you haven't had to deal with
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: it over the past two Friday.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we had a lot of liquid sunshine when I
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: was in DC. Funny enough, but this time we'll go
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: to the sunshine state of swampy Florida, where we will
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: grab the low hanging fruit in the most flaccid of
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: the lower forty eight for the Friday tradition that is
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: Florida Man and Florida Woman.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and we got some bad and good news there
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: for on a Florida Man Friday, So we'll get to that.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: So up next, we're going to hear from long worn
• 15:27

• 15:31

• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Cummings and the guests who there.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Okay, so.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: It's just talking about a girl who had unrealistic expectations
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: about a lot of things. And so there's a good
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: little guitar riff here from our end, and again the
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: guests who on Sunday night in fort Worth and having
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Randy Backman one of the co founders there. Also there'll
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: be some Bachman Turner Overdrive involved in that.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: We'll have some bt O for you today.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: But this particular cut undone, so it has like a
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: real guess who's sound, a lot of guitar works and
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Burt Coummings vocals editions here all right, so here comes
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: the part.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: It's not often you hear a flute right here.
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: It's not coming.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: It makes me think of anchor Man, what you're gonna
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: hear right here? Where the flute takes on a major
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: part in a rock song.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Can't you just see Ron Burgundy playing.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: The rock there the jazz, the jazz flutes.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Anyway, I'll tell you what.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: I heard this song Craig and instantly thought this should
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: be in a movie, This should be in a a
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: in a TV show, And it turns out that it
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: was recently in a TV show on Apple TV Plus
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: called Star City. It's an alternate history drama about the
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: space race from the Soviet perspective.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Really, they came out in May.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: So it's funny when you can picture something being in
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: a movie like I could see this as like a
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: you know, a montage song for somebody maybe seeing things.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Fall apart yep.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: And then he's got the ending right here.
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: Geez, come.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Here it is love that yeah, undone off of that.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: So yeah, we're hitting back with some guests who and
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: some bto today on the program, Let's hit hit you
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: with some Loghorn sound talking about it with Jelani McDonald.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Loghorn's veteran safety and one thing he's asked about. If
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: you watch Jolannie play, you know he's an energy guy,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: brings it and tries to inspire that amongst his teammates
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: I'm pretty much had that in my whole football career.
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: I've been that guy, you know, to get everybody going.
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: So did had none another day? Yeah.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Everybody likes to talk about the outside noise that's going
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: to come, expectations for the program, good, bad, and different whatever,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: and John was asked about it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: How do you go about blocking out the outside noise?
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: I just make sure you know, we stand tunnel vision man,
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: just making sure that we're we're on top of everything,
• 19:25
  Speaker 10: whether it's you know, our weight, whether it's you know,
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: our plays or.
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: Things like that.
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: Just making sure we're you know, technical, technical sound and
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: making sure like we take care of the small details things.
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: Of that nature.
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: Part of what a football team tries to do is
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: help the guys who are cross training or making adjustments
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: to other spots. Kobe Black falls into that category. He
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: played corner, he's played some nickel. He's making that adjustment
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: over to safety. And Julyannie was asked about the fact
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: that Black has had to make these adjustments.
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: Yeah, man, it was. It's awesome, man, seeing him come back.
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: He's joining the family. He's always been a part of
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: the family really, but it's just awesome to see him,
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: you know, developing a different position. You know, being able
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: to do multiple things is you know, always a good thing,
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: you know, in this league. So just been able to
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: see his development over you know, in the film room,
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: on the field, just overall as an.
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: Athlete and man.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: And it's not like Kobe Black has never played safety before,
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: pointed out by McDonald, he here's a guy who also
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: played it in high school.
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: He did, Actually, he did play safety in high school
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: around his single year, I believe, so, so yeah, he
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: already know his second nature all right.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: One the other the comment here from Jolani McDonald's has
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: about uh, coach Tory back then now if you if
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: you learned anything, and we've learned a lot more in
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I would say the past decade, maybe decade plus, about
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: the importance of strength and conditioning, and not only the
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: importance of the strengthen conditioning, but the importance of the
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: strengthening conditioning or you know whatever you call it athletic
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: performance coach or coaches and the bond they establish with
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: these players because they're around them more than the coaches.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: They're around them more than some of the other because
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: they're in the weight room, they're they're on the track
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: with them, they're on the field with them, they're around
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: them all the time. So yes, they're urging them to
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: improve their physical nature, but also in terms of their
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: mental acumen and the emotional part of that. And coach
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Tory Beckton has the gold star type of thing that
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: he does. And and one guy was asked about the
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: gold star was Jeelani McDonald.
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: I'm a great guy, great guy. So I mean it
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: means just keep working hard, man, and just keep going
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: to get.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: It for me.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: So Yeah, that's what a gold star means. You get
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: the gold star means you're a good guy. You're doing
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: your job. Another guy who is a good guy's Ryan Niblett.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: We got to know Ryan lash with what he did
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: in pump returns and kick off returns against Oklahoma, the
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: massive returns against Kentucky and Mississippi State.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: We also learned he had a new born daughter last year.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Was, you know, only a couple of months old, that
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: sort of thing, And it was fun visiting about with her.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: About that after games and he was asked about the the.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Teddy bear that he has with his daughter's name.
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: I just missed my daughter, man, I just feel like
• 22:27
  Speaker 11: I just hate being away from her. So I just
• 22:30
  Speaker 11: wanted me to I just wanted to bring something that
• 22:32
  Speaker 11: reminded me of her every day.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so he's got this teddy bear with her name. Now,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: how about the motivation that Nibblett derives from being around
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: his daughter.
• 22:41
  Speaker 11: It's crazy because I was playing this to my teammates
• 22:43
  Speaker 11: like all the time. It's like I say this even
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: on my bad days, Like I can come home and
• 22:47
  Speaker 11: she smile and it's like it'll make me want to
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: do it all over again. So it just pushes like that.
• 22:52
  Speaker 11: It just give me that extra m you know what
• 22:53
  Speaker 11: I'm saying.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: And as a new father, Ryan Nibble is not above
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: asking other people he knows on how to be a
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: better dad dad advice if you will.
• 23:06
  Speaker 11: Definitely Jayleen Gilbo because you know we was right in
• 23:08
  Speaker 11: the same area the same time, so they definitely get
• 23:11
  Speaker 11: Jayleen Gulbo.
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: We talked about it all the time. You know, his
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: daughter just.
• 23:13
  Speaker 11: Turned one, My daughter birthday in eighteen days, so I'm
• 23:16
  Speaker 11: getting ready for that.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: All right, back to the football. So what's different at
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: least what he might have noticed different about the team
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: this time this year, this time going around?
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: Overall, how together we are just a running back and
• 23:30
  Speaker 11: running backs included, just how together we are.
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: We can talk about anything.
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: Like last year I'll say, like you can tell there's
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: running backs over here and running backs over here we
• 23:38
  Speaker 11: would all together.
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: But this year, like we laughed, we joked.
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: Together, and we just we just put it all together
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: and make good friendships.
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: With each other.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, And with regard to special teams, his
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: specialty even though we can play running back receiver and
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: catch passes out of the back, that we saw that
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: he can run the ball as well, but where he's
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: been most dangerous is.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: In kick returning and pump returning.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: And he discussed how the staff is helping special teams.
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: One thing coaches say is like this special team is
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: one third of a game.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: It's not the full game, you know what I'm saying.
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: And they just overemphasized like everything the little stuff, especially
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: to the freshmans.
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: They want the freshmans to.
• 24:13
  Speaker 11: Start on special teams and to give the old guys break.
• 24:16
  Speaker 11: So it's like special team is very vital to the
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: young guys.
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: And then as I mentioned, this is a guy who
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: helped out both in terms of catching passes how the
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: backfield and even running the ball as well. So what
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: can Ryan Nibblet do on the offensive side in addition
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: to his special teams contributions.
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: I'm more of, like I say, like a gadget role
• 24:37
  Speaker 11: just to put me like lom me up out the receiver,
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: running bag or just anything like however they want to
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: use me.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: All right, So there's some from Ryan Nibley now that
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: the defensive side hero canoe being the defensivelyer coming back
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: for that fifth years to Sceenior. Remember he had transferred
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: in from Ohio State, and he was asked about you
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: know the preseason rankings. Ohio State is numberable one in
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: the coaches poll. Texas is number four. We've not seen
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: the AP ranking chet but we will. They're coming out soon.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: So when Ohio State arrives here on the twelfth of September,
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: and when the log Worns get ready to host them
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: on September twelfth, and of course Texas will open with
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Texas State, and if they handle their business and do
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: what they're supposed to do, they would be one to oher.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: And of course Ohio State, which is number one in
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: that preseason coaches poll, and good chance they'll be number
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: one in the AP poll as well. They open at
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: home against ball State. Quick trivia for you there, Jake.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: You know where ball State is?
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: Sure?
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: Do you do? You?
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: How should I reveal it? Or yeah? Sure?
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, go ahead and say it.
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: I've never been to the bustling metropolis that is Munsey, Indiana,
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: but I know that's where Ball State is.
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: I've been through Munsey one time.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: It was an in the middle of the night, driving
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: from South Bend after Texas had opened. The twenty fourteen
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: College football season in South Bend, Indiana lost to Notre Dame,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: and Roger Wallace and I had to fly back from
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Indianapolis because we both had to get back, and so
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: instead of waiting to fly from South Bend, we drove
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: during the deep night from South Bend to Indianapolis and
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: went and went right past months Hee, Indiana. But anyway,
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: they're playing ball State.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're play by play voice is another alum of
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: Beck Sports in Bismar, North Dakota. Really, that's how I
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: knew that for ball State, the ball State Mick Tindraw,
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: the voice of the Cardinals.
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: How long has he been doing that?
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Think about five six years?
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: Okay, so you've gotten no in then.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Just connected gotcha one.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Well, if Ohio State handles its business against ball State
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: and the long Worns handled their business against Texas State,
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: clearly they'll both be top five teams at the very
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: least in the coaches. Like I said, Ohio State's number
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: one in Texas is number four. There is a chance
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: in the ap pole that Ohio State could be number
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: one and Texas could be number three or number two
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: or whatever. They would almost certainly both be top five
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: ranked opponents. So a guy who has seen it from
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: both sides, hero canoe playing for Ohio State and then
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: for Texas. What does he think about all those preseason
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: rankings in Ohio State at number one.
• 27:26
  Speaker 12: I mean, you know, like all these like preseason stuff.
• 27:31
  Speaker 12: You know, it really doesn't matter because at the end
• 27:33
  Speaker 12: of the day, whoever wins that game. You know, if
• 27:36
  Speaker 12: we win that game, when we win that game, it's okay,
• 27:38
  Speaker 12: then we're gonna be above. Then they're gonna be dropping
• 27:40
  Speaker 12: the win another game in the regular season, they're gonna
• 27:42
  Speaker 12: be going higher, you know, and so on and so on.
• 27:44
  Speaker 12: So all the preseason stuff doesn't really matter to us.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: It's met us. What said at the end of the season.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah uh and good words spoken there, because you got
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: to handle your business and conference play.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: They have a chance to play for a conference title.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Listens, as Sark said last year, Ryan Day said, whoever
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: was going to win that game, Yeah, they get a
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: good national leg up, but the loser was not going
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: to be damaged by playing that game. And then of
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: course that leads into the debate about Texas and the
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: third loss and if they you know, the one side
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: saying you, well, if you hadn't lost to Florida, you'd
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: been in the playoff, And then the other side saying, well,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: if they hadn't played Ohio State and played a lower
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: level Division one FBS opponent, an opponent they could have played.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: At home in one off Indiana.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah right, they would have been ten and two, and
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: then they would have gotten in into the College Football Playoff.
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: That thing.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: We can go round and round chasing our tail on
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: that debate forever and ever and all that.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah comes, I mean not really, they would have been
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: above Oklahoma had both teams had two losses.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: So I don't really know how you can go round
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: and round about it.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, because the round and round refers to those who
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: very quickly point out, can't lose to Florida. If you
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: didn't lose to Florida, that were not having this conversation.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: They're exactly right. And so two are the people who
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: said what you just said, if they played somebody other
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: than somebody of that Aliburn played a directional was it
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: vic Schaeffer.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: Whits three.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Hops defense?
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: You're right right now, they're not going to play an
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: FCS opponent. They haven't played an FCS opponent since two
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: thousand and six, and that's when sam Houston was still
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: FCS and the only reason they played that game is
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: because I think it was Minnesota that dropped out late.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: And that was the year the schedule expanded to twelve
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: regular season games, so Texas had to scramble just to
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: find the twelfth opponent, and it was sam Houston. Since then,
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: they've not played an FCS opponent. They played only FBS opponents.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: But they could have played a lower tiered, lower rung
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: FBS opponent and gotten to win, played it at home,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: they would have been ten and two, and then like
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: you mentioned Oklahoma, and they'd have they had to ad
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: win over Oklahoma and Texas would have been in the playoffs.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: That's the one side.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: The other side is, yes, if you don't lose the
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: conference game, go a sub five hundred team in Florida.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: The conversation doesn't have I see both.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: Sides of it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: I understand both sides of it, and as much as
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: folks will dig in their heels on one side of
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: the issue, on the other those are It's that the
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: thing about two things can be true, both elements can
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: be true on that so a loss or a win
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: over Ohio State, a loss certainly wouldn't damage much. A
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: win certainly helps, but you still got to handle your
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: business in conference play. You still have to take care
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: of your conference games in order to qualify for the
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: SEC Championship, which raises your profile and also your national
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: profile for the playoff.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: One more from Hero Canoe.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: We were just hearing from Jelani McDonald, and Canoe is
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: one of those guys because Hero is a leader as
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: well as an imposing force on defensive front. But he'll
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: quickly tell you that Jelani McDonald has really emerged as
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: a defensive leader of this team.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: Oh he's vocal.
• 30:54
  Speaker 12: I mean, he's out there, he's behind me, he's behind
• 30:57
  Speaker 12: all the big guys. So he's trying to make sure
• 30:59
  Speaker 12: everybody's con unicating. Well, he's making sure backing is on
• 31:01
  Speaker 12: the same page. That's probably the biggest thing. He can
• 31:04
  Speaker 12: step up and lead, Like let's say we're gonna be
• 31:06
  Speaker 12: out there by ourselves.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: And you know there's some extra work.
• 31:09
  Speaker 12: He's one of the guys that can organize that, that
• 31:11
  Speaker 12: can get everybody together and he got everybody's respect as well.

  Speaker 5: You got some sticks it.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Well, but mostly from my dad.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: But you know, I started to say, and Styx was
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: one of the bands that I when I sold merch
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: when I was in college. I worked the Paradise Theater
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: tour in eighty one, the Mister Roboto Tour, worked a
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: couple of shows of that in nineteen eighty.
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: Have you ever seen the rest of development, Craig, Yes,
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: Buster getting his hook stuck in the staircase.
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Are absolutely so. Yeah, it's good that that calls that
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: to mind. So yeah, we'll do that. And whenever we
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: have a musical act coming to town, or one that
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: one of us is planning to see, as I will
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: on Sunday night in Fort Worth, that's why we hit
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: back with some return cuts today. And that one is probably,
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: believe it or not, it might be their most well
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: known hit American one.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: It was the one you knew, right, I was the
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: one that popped to mind to me this afternoon when
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: you said we're going with guests who and Balkwa turn
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: her overdrive.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: And I remember my sister had this single and I
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: think in nineteen seventy she had this single. She and
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: I was only like nine going on ten, but I
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: remember that. I remember my sister, who was my oldest sibling,
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: having that single at the time as a teenager. But
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: it was it might be about as well known as
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: any of their catalog and then it became kind of renown.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: It kind of got a resurgence. Who was that covered
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: it or somebody Lenny Kravitz maybe I don't remember. I
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: just remember somebody covering it later and I thought, Okay,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: it's not bad.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Lenny Kravitz has got the famous cover of it
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: from Uh it was it was in the Austin Powers soundtrack.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: That's it. That's it.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: I do remember that, but I'd rather have the guests
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: who a signal of that?
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Coming up here in this hour of the program, a
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: lot of college football to discussed, and also we'll give
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: away a copy of Dave Camil's Texas Football magazine.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Uh And and also.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: We'll hear from long worn players as well. But before
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: we do that here in this first segment, there was
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: a piece that was pinned by. And one thing I've
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: learned about ESPN is when they do their college football pieces,
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: they have some really talented writers, and what we have
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: referred to some of their articles, Bill Conley being one
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: of those, Jake Trotter being one of those as well.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Some of their best work, however, is when it's a
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: combined amalgam of several others.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: And so they did that with a piece.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Entitled college Football arch Enemies for every Power Conference team. So,
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: for example, when you're looking at who you know, as
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: they say, we compile a list of the arch enemies
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: of every school in the Power four and the stories
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: that make them public enemy number one on campus, be
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: sure to have your an acid or blood pressure medication
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: handy before reading on. Okay, for Alabama, you'd say, you
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: know who could be Arch's dominant as Aben Cam Newton.
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: That's right, That's very accurate for having grown up in
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: an Alabama household.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Was this was right?
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: You think about it.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: In twenty ten, Auburn trailed Alabama twenty four to nothing
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: in the second quarter and then Cam Newton passed for
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: three touchdowns ran for another. They came back when twenty
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: eight twenty seven it knows the cam back and Auburn
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: went on to win the national championship. For Arkansas, hey
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: take a number Texas Longhorns, right, they pointed out. Longhorns
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: coach Steve Sarkishan was introduced to Arkansas fans in his
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: second game of Texas in twenty twenty one at forty
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: twenty one Razorbacks win. After the long Horns moved to
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: the SEC and the Arkansas rivalry was renewed as a
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: conference game, Sarkisian quipped that he realized they hate Texas
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: more than they liked themselves, and Arkansas coach Sam Pittman
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: said he's probably right. Old Southwest Conference rivalry had its
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: darkest moment for the Hogs in the nineteen sixty nine
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Big shootout between number one Texas and number two Arkansas,
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: with the Razorbacks taking a fourteen to nothing lead into
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: the fourth quarter before losing fifteen to fourteen after James
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Street's heroics led Texas back and Arkansas's Bill Montgomery through
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: two interceptions. President Richard Nixon presented Texas with a national
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: title plaque at Razorbacks Stadium in nineteen seventy seven. Who
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: holds his Razorbacks finished number three in the country with
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: one loss to Texas.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: That's when they had Earl Campbell.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: You know, the other things that come to mind about
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: what they're saying about the Arkansas Texas bit is that
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: there's one moment that is as painful to at least
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: to the old school Texas fans as the nineteen sixty
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: nine memory to old school fans is for Arkansas with
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: them losing the Big shootout sixty four ward, Texas was
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: the defending national champion and they had Arkansas coming in
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: the town on a Saturday night game at DKR back
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: then just Memorial Stadium in Austin, and that night Ken Hatfield,
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: later an Arkansas head coach and Rice head coach, was
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: playing for the Razorbacks, had an eighty one yard punt
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: return for a touchdown and the margin of victory was
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: a missed extra point by Texas. They lost fourteen thirteen.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: It was the only game Texas lost that year. They
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: wound up going to the Orange Bowl and beating Joe
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Namath and Alibama, who had been crown national champions in
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: the Coaches Pole. Arkansas went on did not lose the game,
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: beat Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl and won what was
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: called the Football Writers Association National Championship Ball. It kind
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: of liked the AP although there was an AP pole
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: as well, But that was Arkansas's won national championship on
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: that Arkansas team. Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson, Wow, they
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: played on that nineteen six so they had their own
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: memory about that as well. Arkansas fans may also remember
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: the Y two K Cotton Bowl when they beat Texas
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: when Major Applewhite had then suffered the knee injury towards
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: ACL and Houston Nutt doing horns down the head coach
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: of Arkansas coming off the field, and of course the
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: long runs have had more of the last laughs. They've
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: beaten them more times, you know, over the years as well.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: For Auburn, it's Harvey Updyke, the tree poisoner. Yeah, the
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: tree poisoner called in on Paul five BOMs show about
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: poisoning the Conicoach tree of Tumor's Corner. He later pleaded
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: guilty to applying herbicide to the trees, was sentenced to
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: seventy days in jail eight hundred thousand dollars in restitution.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: He had a son named Bear in honor of Bear
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Bryant and a daughter named Crimson. He later told fire
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: to have too much Bammy and me. He died in
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty. For Florida, it's Lindsay Scott. That's the famous
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: call there by Larry Munson run Lindsay running the buck
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: Blue Pass in nineteen eighty and they went on to
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: win the national championship as well. For Georgia, it's Steve Spurrier,
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: because Florida dominated Georgia in that world's largest outdoor cocktail
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: party when they went eleven and one. For Kentucky, it's
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: Steve Spurrier they dominated then as well. For LSU, Nick
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: Saban really because remember they won a national championship with
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Nick Saban, of course, but then he he left after
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: that for the Miami Dolphins, didn't stay that long in
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: the NFL, returned to Alabama and built what they're calling
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: the greatest dynasty in the modern era. Beat twenty beat
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: LSU twenty one nothing for the national title after the
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: twenty eleven season, then won the next seven games in
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: the series. He went four and one against Alabama when
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: he was at LSU did save him, but he finished
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: twelve and five at l against LSU after joining the
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: Crimson Tide as well.
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and a couple of those losses were the early years,
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: the John Parker Wilson years.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, For Mississippi State, it's Jalen Walton and Jordan Wilkins.
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: That's going to be egg boll stuff.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: Losing to Ole, miss Wilkins had a forty one yard
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: run hit Cody Gore corp a thirty one yard touchdown
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: as they won that came back to beat to beat
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: them by a score of seventeen to ten. All right, Missouri.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: Curtis Lofton. Curtis Lofton was Oklahoma's linebacker. Two thousand season
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: was a good Missouri team. They lost twice to Ou,
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: including in the Big Teal championship game, which I think
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: was in the Alamodome that year, so they beat them,
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: or that one might have been in Kansas City, but anyway,
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: they beat him in the Big twelve championship. For Oklahoma,
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: it's Darren Royal because coach Royal, of course, was an
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: All American quarterback at Oklahoma for nineteen forty six to
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: ninety forty nine. He was from Hollis, Oklahoma, and then
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: of course he coached Texas beat Ou twelve the next
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: thirteen times. Remember later he accused as Sooners coach Berry
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: Switzer spying on his team, called him I think he
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: called him sorry bastards a thing or something like that.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: So it was quite a bit. His final game wound
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: up as a six to sixth tie off of that.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma fans, by the way, if they want to try
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: to take a jab at Texas fans, quite often we'll say, hey,
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: the best guy in your history came from our state, Oklahoma,
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: because Texas fans quite often point out that Oklahoma, you know,
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: raged Texas to get some of their best recruits, you know,
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: including that like Billy Simms coming from Hooks, you know,
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: that sort of thing. So for Oklahoma they list Del Royle.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: For Ole Miss, it's Lane Kiffin because he left Ole
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: Miss for LSU, and it's and it's what he said,
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: not just what he did exactly. For South Carolina, Marquez North.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: That was against Tennessee when it when they got hurt there,
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: when they had an opportunity when they had Gedevian Clowley,
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: they were a big favorite against Tennessee, ended up losing
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: twenty three twenty one.
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: For Tennessee.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Uh, there's that man, Againsteve Spurrier. Steve Spurrier was the
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: guy who said he kent spell Citrus without ut when
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: they were keeping them out of the Sugar Bowl by
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: winning the SEC when he was coaching Florida. You know,
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: Peyton Manning was thirty two and five as a starting
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: quarterback at Tennessee, but three of the five losses came
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: to Spurrier and the Gators. So it was that and
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: including being blown out in ninety five OS Tennessee's only
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: loss of the year.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: For Texas.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: It's only fair to say Barry Switzer if you for
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma can say dear Royal because Switzer never lost to
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: coach roy He.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Went three to oho to one against him.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: He finished with a nine to five and two record
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: against Texas. So h that's what they're they say, is
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: Texas public enemy number one for Texas A and M Well,
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: it's the Texas Longhorns, uh, just as it is for
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: Arkansas as the Longhorns. It's uh is it's seventy eight,
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: thirty seven and five. I think the record is talking
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: about the last time they met. His Big twelve Conference
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: moments when Justin Tucker hit the walk off forty yard
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: field goal then and then, of course the Long Horns
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: have won the first two games in that rivalry Vanderbilt.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: They call it institutional apathy as their biggest thing. They're
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: they're oh and sixty all time against ap top five
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: teams until they beat Alabama a couple of years ago
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: and finished with a ten win campaign for the first
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: time in one hundred and twenty two years. Things are
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: flipping there though. In Nashville they're renovating. They've been renovating
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: the football stadium when it was up there for baseball.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: It's gotten better and better in the football stadium and
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: what the renovations are going there. Just some other quick
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: ones in the Big Ten. For Illinois's Hayden Fried, the
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: long time Iowa coach. For Indiana's Joe Tiller, the long
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: time per Due coach, it really struggled against them. For Iowa,
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: Eric Ball, the.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: UCLA running back, thought it was going to say the
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: forward pass.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: They had a shot, did Iowa to win the national
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: championship in eighty five when they were coached by Hayden Fry,
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: and they got blown out by UCLA, which had the
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: second string freshman running back. Eric Ball ran for two
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: hundred and twenty seven yards and tied a Rose Bull
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: record with four rushing touchdowns. For Maryland Joe Paterno. Because
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: Maryland just could not beat Joe. They they dominated this.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: Paterno never lost to Maryland. Maryland had a tie with
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: him in nineteen eighty nine. From Michigan State, it's most
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: sham Beckler because of what he did all those years
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: coaching Michigan to their wins over the Spartans. He went
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: seventeen and four against them. For Michigan, it's what he hates.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: Ohio State, he dominated. Loved that quote that one time
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: when they win. They went up forty four to fourteen
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: in nineteen sixty eight and they scored touchdown late and
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: they go for two. And they asked him, why did
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: you go for two? He said, because I couldn't go
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: for three. What he hates into the four the Michigan Wolverines.
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: For Minnesota, it's Brett Beedelima, who's done a good job.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: Never lost to Minnesota, both in Wisconsin and now Illinois.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: For Nebraska, the Miami Hurricanes. You go back with that
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: nineteen eighty four Orange Bowl of failed two point conversion,
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: Miami winning its first national title for Northwestern keish On
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: Johnson when he was playing there for USC and they
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: beat them in the Rose Bowl. For Ohio State, it
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: was Jim Harball because they had four consecutive victories of
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: Ohio State before they were finally be able to break through.
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: For Oregon at USC.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: For Penn State, the national poll voters when they didn't
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: win the national title sixty eight, sixty nine, and eighty
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: two and they went undefeated, finished number two every time,
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: I mean day right now. In sixty nine, they could
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: have put that in their own hands. Texas was number one.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: Penn State was invited to play him in the Cotton
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: Bowl and they turned it down and went to the
• 46:33

  Speaker 4: I don't know, and it's okay to identify who it
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: is if you know, Jake, I don't know who's asking
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: the questions about the five star characters.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: This time either, Sorry, yeah, but.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: But somebody's asking that because somebody is doing a piece.
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: Whenever more than one student athlete gets the exact same
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: question and the specificity of this, you know they're working
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: on a piece for they're either for a newspaper piece
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: or a fan site piece. None, there's anything wrong with it.
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: It's just that's if you're hearing with there's somebody else
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: being asked about five star career.
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: Here here's somebody else being nothing wrong with it.
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: It just means you can take that as a sign
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: that somebody's working on a piece on the team having
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: five star character. And we heard already heard some of that.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: But here's Jeli McDonald being asked about it.
• 50:08
  Speaker 10: Like this offseason, we had team events, you know, we
• 50:11
  Speaker 10: went to we did pickleball, you know, just bonding with
• 50:14
  Speaker 10: each other.
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: We went like we did like.
• 50:17
  Speaker 10: Other things such as you know, we would like give
• 50:21
  Speaker 10: with each other as a position group and go eat
• 50:23
  Speaker 10: dinner or lunch or something like that. So just finding
• 50:26
  Speaker 10: a way to stay connected, you know, on and off
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: the field.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: So just a brother hood. Wait a minute, he mentioned pickleball.
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: Uh, So you know what's gonna happen next, somebody's gonna
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: ask who's the best and who's the worst when it
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: comes to pick a ball on.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: This team, best and the worst?
• 50:39
  Speaker 10: The best, I would say, Warren robertson surprisingly and the worst.
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: I feel like we we all cold.
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: It's just you know, it's always a better one, but
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: it's never just.
• 50:55
  Speaker 8: The worst one.
• 50:55
  Speaker 9: Were all good.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: You ever played pickleball, Craig, I never have. I've seen
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: it played before. You've played it, haven't you? I have
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: you like it? Yeah? It's fun.
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it looks like it would be fun.
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: I don't love the uh you know it people, some
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: people wanted to take over for tennis, Ted, I find
• 51:13
  Speaker 6: tennis more fun.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: Well, tennis has its own thing, but tennis is a
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: younger person's game, obviously with the amount of running, whereas
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: pick a ball has really ramped up its popularity for
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: older fans of the sport and certainly even senior citizens
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: to be a part of.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, though, I've played pickleball before.
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: This is up in North Dakota where a younger coworker
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: and I go up against an older team.
• 51:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: They show up with the you.
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: Know, with the goggles right, trustin paddles, ready to go,
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: and we're thinking, okay, you know, not gonna be I'll
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: take it easy, and we've getten.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: Get smoked, you get drilled. Wow, it's all about the positioning.
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: They know what they're doing.
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: Uh.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: Jelani McDonald was also asked, Uh, you know, does he
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: feel because he isn't really mentioned that much, does he
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: feel a little bit underrated when folks, you know, were
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: making those kind of ratings looking at defensive backs.
• 52:07
  Speaker 10: You can say that, but I mean I don't really
• 52:10
  Speaker 10: I let everybody else, you know, determine that. I just
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: got to put my work in and I'm stay true
• 52:16
  Speaker 10: to my work.
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: So that's what that's gonna be.
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, and that includes working with the other safeties,
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: the other ones who step up.
• 52:23
  Speaker 10: I was awesome having another big guy back to sis too.
• 52:26
  Speaker 10: You know, we all live tall, so having another big
• 52:28
  Speaker 10: guy back to being physical, you know, being vocal, stepping
• 52:32
  Speaker 10: into his new role on this on this team, and yeah,
• 52:36
  Speaker 10: he's his adjustment has been smooth.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm also talking about Kobe Black baking that swing
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: over the safety as well. Now, Ryan Nibblet, the special
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: teams specialist, uh said yeah, it's all great about you know,
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: returning kicks and punts and all that kind of stuff.
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: But special teams on both when they are punting and
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: when they were fielding punts, punt returned as well as
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: punt coverage. The hortons of staying penalty free and Nibbleck
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: talked about the strat the coaching staff and Jeff Banks
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: and specific the special teams coach.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Addressing those penalties definitely.
• 53:11
  Speaker 8: Been talked about.
• 53:12
  Speaker 11: He even put up stats, so how many penities we had,
• 53:14
  Speaker 11: how many yards we had on them penalties, So just
• 53:17
  Speaker 11: overall seeing the numbers is.
• 53:19
  Speaker 8: A different perspective. So yeah, we talked about that a lot.
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: As explosive as Niblock was last year, he feels maybe
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: he's got a chance to improve over time his technique
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: just having more experience.
• 53:33
  Speaker 11: I mean, yeah, it's definitely because as a young guy,
• 53:36
  Speaker 11: you know, you're trying to showcase your disability, so you're
• 53:38
  Speaker 11: trying to get extra aggressively ultimately allows penities and stuff
• 53:42
  Speaker 11: like that. But like when you're older, you're a lot
• 53:45
  Speaker 11: more of your technique and your coaching.
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: So yeah, all right, we've heard about coach Muschamp. We
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: know about coach Banks. Who's the most intense coach that
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: he feels is the most intense on this team.
• 53:56
  Speaker 11: I say Banks. I definitely say Banks, just because of
• 53:59
  Speaker 11: the fact that he don't he don't know how to
• 54:00
  Speaker 11: lure his voice.
• 54:02
  Speaker 7: He's a screamer. He's a screaming even.
• 54:04
  Speaker 11: When he loses his voice, hes gonna try to scream
• 54:06
  Speaker 11: it out. So yeah, Banks definitely.
• 54:08
  Speaker 5: Starks loud and continues loud.
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: Uh is there any pressure for Nibblet to match what
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: he did as a punt and kick returner of last year.
• 54:17
  Speaker 11: I wouldn't say so. I don't really look too much
• 54:20
  Speaker 11: in today. I try to be present in today, Tom.
• 54:23
  Speaker 11: I try to focus on today, make today my most
• 54:25
  Speaker 11: important day.
• 54:26
  Speaker 8: So yeah, that's how I try to take it in.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: So are there any specific goals for Nibblet?
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: I mean my goals just beat a business that I
• 54:33
  Speaker 8: could be sir.
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: Back to that penalty thing.
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: You know sometimes you know you could have a big
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: punt return, it's called back because of a blocking the
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: back or a hold, and he was asked does he
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: have to handle the frustrations that come about if you
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: have a big return nullified by a penalty.
• 54:48
  Speaker 11: I mean, of course I'll say something because at the
• 54:50
  Speaker 11: end of the day's a team sport. They I feel
• 54:52
  Speaker 11: like you need to be you need to hurt, you
• 54:54
  Speaker 11: need to hear the real but also ultimately don't take
• 54:57
  Speaker 11: offense because I know, hey, let's get it back another time,
• 54:59
  Speaker 11: Like I I want to put down on my teammate
• 55:01
  Speaker 11: just to have to do it again, and like he
• 55:03
  Speaker 11: down in his head.
• 55:04
  Speaker 8: So yeah, I just try to look them up.
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: Here's another thing too, about penalties, and I often say
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: this on broadcast. If you have a penalty a block
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: in the back or a hold that happens on a
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: pump return, and the pump return happens to go for
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: a big gainer.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: Seventy yard touchdown, fifty yards whatever.
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I want to say more often
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: than not, but quite often, the reason the pump return
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: went for fifty sixty seventy yards was because of the penalty.
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: So if the penalty had not incurred, there's a decent
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: chance that that return might not have gone certainly not
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: for the distance that it went, and may not have
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: been much of a return at all. And so that's
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: something that special teams coaches point out as well. For Niblett,
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: he's kind of a character. Are there some bigger characters
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: on this team?
• 55:57
  Speaker 11: Oh man, the whole room is a character. Oh Like,
• 56:00
  Speaker 11: especially relief release is the character. But the whole room
• 56:03
  Speaker 11: we left and joke all day. So I mean, like,
• 56:05
  Speaker 11: like he said, like the ultimately bring the team together, though,
• 56:08
  Speaker 11: so yeah, what's really really just say whatever's on his mind,
• 56:12
  Speaker 11: Just say whatever come to he.
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: Okay, he's talking about Releak Brown the Arizona straight transfer,
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: which gets us into the running back thing because remember Nibblett,
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: for all of his kick returning and punk returning all that,
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: he is by position a running back, and he did
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: carry the ball some last year, and they did throw
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: the ball to him out of the backfield. So now
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: with Relik Brown and Hollywood smothers coming in to help
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: bolster the backfield, Michael Terry is back there as well.
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: What's his impressions of this running back run?
• 56:39
  Speaker 11: Especially because pretty much all I guys knew we were young,
• 56:42
  Speaker 11: Like I haven't played the sport position in real will,
• 56:44
  Speaker 11: so I feel like it's coming together will actually, so
• 56:47
  Speaker 11: like we all talk to each other, we all give
• 56:49
  Speaker 11: each other feedback. So just the just the being able
• 56:52
  Speaker 11: to give each other feedback it helps a lot. So
• 56:53
  Speaker 11: we can I can tell him what he's doing wrong
• 56:55
  Speaker 11: on the play, he can tell me what's wrong, and
• 56:56
  Speaker 11: we can just opiately just put it together, all right?
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: Uh, he mentioned Relik Brown, how would he describe the
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: former Arizona State Sun Devil's running style, Releak is a
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: little different.
• 57:05
  Speaker 11: You know, he's short for run long, So it's like
• 57:07
  Speaker 11: it's crazy. He very fast, very quick, agile and releak.
• 57:11
  Speaker 11: You know, he's very fast. But I can't say, I mean,
• 57:16
  Speaker 11: I really, Hollywood, I can't say.
• 57:17
  Speaker 8: He's very smart.
• 57:18
  Speaker 11: Also, so him being very smart in the backfield just
• 57:21
  Speaker 11: allowed him to just see the feel more clear than
• 57:24
  Speaker 11: you know what I'm saying.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: Also, uh, the uh he was talking about Releak. Brown
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: Leak also is a nickname. The nickname is band Aid.
• 57:34
  Speaker 11: Why band aid for one, that's his Instagram name, band Aid.
• 57:38
  Speaker 11: And he liked to call it band aid because like
• 57:41
  Speaker 11: the bluestrip one hundred dollars.
• 57:42
  Speaker 8: So that's what he told That's what he told us.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's another way to look at that.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: He mentioned Hollywood Smothers as well.
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: How about the personalities of those two transfer running backs
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: relate Brown coming in from Arizona state, Hollywood Smothers coming
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: in from North Carolina state.
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: It's goofy. Oh, I mean, this is all of us.
• 58:02
  Speaker 8: We're just goofy.
• 58:03
  Speaker 11: We see each other, we just automatically laugh without saying nothing.
• 58:05
  Speaker 11: Just like that moments was like that.
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, that's a way to describe it as right,
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: here's that five star character question we're talking about, and
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: it was put as well, uh, to nibble it as well,
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: about this five star character thing to the team.
• 58:20
  Speaker 11: I mean five star character, it's like a multitude of things,
• 58:24
  Speaker 11: like it's culture, how you in the building, out the building,
• 58:27
  Speaker 11: how you greet and treat others. So just overall just
• 58:30
  Speaker 11: being being positive and just carrying yourself.
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: The right way.
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: All right, So you got all these younger players coming in.
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: What's the most important thing for younger players to learn
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: starting from the very start of fall camp.
• 58:42
  Speaker 8: Just leave high school where it's at.
• 58:45
  Speaker 11: This is a different ball game. Just one thing. I
• 58:50
  Speaker 11: one thing I coach would like to say. In order
• 58:52
  Speaker 11: to have a great leader, you got you gotta be
• 58:53
  Speaker 11: a great follower. So just ultimately just bond into the program,
• 58:57
  Speaker 11: is what I say.
• 58:58
  Speaker 8: Is the biggest team.
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: Well, look, we'll tell you that. And that also helped
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: me in his kick and pump return game as well.
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: Also what helps is working on your speed.
• 59:07
  Speaker 11: I mean most definitely I work on my speed a lot,
• 59:10
  Speaker 11: my get off, my agile, my cut, So I feel
• 59:13
  Speaker 11: like that's gonna play a lot, especially pun return and
• 59:15
  Speaker 11: stuff like that, running the ball when releaking stuff go down.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, Also other kick returning standouts.
• 59:23
  Speaker 11: Jermaine Bishop looks really good as a freshman coming in,
• 59:26
  Speaker 11: you know in Hollywood. Daty McCutcheon was behind me last year.
• 59:29
  Speaker 11: So all three of us are going back there working
• 59:32
  Speaker 11: every day after practice.
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and then finally the news came down that
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: Cole Hudson has been cleared and it has in fact
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: rejoining the log Worns along that offensive front. So he
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: was asked, even as it was eminent that it looks
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: like it was gonna happen, what it would mean to
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: have Hudson back on the field.
• 59:51
  Speaker 11: I mean, it was me and a lot to the program,
• 59:54
  Speaker 11: just more depth on an old line, just overall just
• 59:57
  Speaker 11: having more because you know, sometimes the line get a
• 59:59
  Speaker 11: little tired, so just having more dips so so we
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 11: can just continue to be the best team that we
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 11: can be as a whole.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 8: So that'll be great.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: And he is back, and where he fits in the
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: only time will tell. As he ramps back into the routine.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: All right, we're gonna hear from hero Canoe coming up
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: as we continue here, and uh.

• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: so I'm looking forward to seeing them on Sunday nights.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: Let's hear from the Longhorns senior defensive lineman, the fifth
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: year senior Hero Canoe is asked just how good is
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: this Texas defense or how good might they become?
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 7: It's good.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 12: It's it's really good, and the best thing about it
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 12: is it's deep. We got a lot of guys that
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 12: can play. A lot of guys that came in. Knew
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 12: in addition that it'd be a freshman, that'd be transfers.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 12: That are all he came They all came into one
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 12: of the players.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 7: So yeah.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: One of those guys that he says can really make
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: an impact is Josiah Sharma, who was a red shirt
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: freshman and works at that nose tackle spot as well.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 7: Hey, that's a big move, that's what we say.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 12: We call him the dancing bear because this big, but
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 12: you got such a feticism, it's it's unbelievable.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: How big is He's six four and three hundred and
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: fifty six pounds coming into camp. So what's his initial
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: reaction to seeing Josiah Sharma?
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 7: What about you, guy, big guy? What's your initial impression?
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 7: I was like, dang.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 12: I remember playing Arkansas. I was like, dang, that's a
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 12: big dude. I'm using obviously the nice words.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 9: I'm like, dang.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 12: I was like, this might be the biggest dude I've
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 12: ever seen. I play against some big dudes, like just
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 12: in high school guys like Maximus Games. He was like
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 12: he went viral one time, you know, four hundred pounds
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 12: six say sixty seven or something like that. I'm like, dang,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 12: I'm part with that. So he's one of the biggest
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 12: guys I've seen. But he had really sweet feet. He's
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 12: fast especially for his size, Like he can move.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 5: Okay, it's good to know there.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: All right, it's time for a trivia question for a
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: copy of Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine, and the two
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: o'clock Hour gave it away to the random second person
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: to dial in, and then one more coming up next
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: hour on a random person accessing us via the talkback feature.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: But we're doing one trivia question.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: When we were talking about the arch enemies piece in
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: on the ESPN article there they listed California's arch enemy
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: as being Mac Brown. This goes back to two thousand
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: and four and Mac Brown was, you know, obviously lobbying
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: for Texas to be in the Rose Bowl and Cal
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: did its own lobbying and Texas got in the Rose
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: Bowl instead of caw. Cal was quarterback by Aaron Rodgers,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: and he was very critical about it that that sort
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: of thing. But the inescapable reality is is that both
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: Texas and California had a common opponent that year and
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: the Loghorns throttled that opponent and California lost to that
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: opponent in the Holiday Bowl after not getting to go
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: to the Rose Bowl. First correct answer, Who was that
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: common opponent for Texas and col back in two thousand
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: and four. It was the difference in Texas going to
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: the Rose Bowl and Cal going to the Holiday Bowl.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 5: We'll be back to wrap up our number two.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: I'm thirteen under the Zone, third and final hours of
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: the program here on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 4: Zone and as we mentioned today, paying tribute to the
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: guests who and also Blackman Turner over Drive. They're appearing
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: in Forworths on Sunday night, and Yeah, I'm gonna be there.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: This is one of my favorites. This really what's a
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: two part song. It's almost like if you hear Billy
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: Joel's scenes from an Italian restaurant, which is, as he says,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: bits and pieces of different songs that are knitted together.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: Same thing.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 4: Kind of also with the backside of the Abbey Road
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: album for the Beatles, where it's just pieces of songs.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: Say a minute and this be goes. You're about to
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: hear the transition into the second part of this. What
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: do you think of the guests who's you weren't that
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 4: familiar with guests who going into today?
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: Were you?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: No, not all that much.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: I've been enjoying this so far, this one in particular.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: This is uh if if And then when it transitions
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: here into the second part of the song, momentarily you'll
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: hear the other thing. But of course, two great artists,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah I didn't come in today, only knew American woman
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 6: and now that's not even in my top five anymore.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good one, and that's what we let
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: all to three o'clock hour. But see, now this sounds
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: like it's going to be the exact same.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: Song, and it's not.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: You're gonna hear it's a completely different set of lyrics.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: And this is that this particular right is new mother Nature.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 8: And and then.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: The best part of this song is coming up here
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: in a moment when they combine the two pieces together.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: I'll give you another example Paul McCartney's Silly Love songs
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: where they do the round and they start bringing it
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: so it starts now you're gonna hear it coming, you know,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: up on this and and that's why I said it
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: between you know, uh guess who and and Bachman Turner Overdrive,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: which is Randy Bachman moved us and when he moved
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: on and did bt O after the breakup of guests,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: who's the two get back together? And so they're doing
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: this tour and you know how I am and and
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: Lendu's like this too. We're trying to see as many
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: of these old school, old style rock and roll stars
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: before they get you know, too old for wanting to
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: do it. And these guys are in their eighties but
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: they're still they're still cranking it out and.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 5: Uh and uh.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: So this is what's going to be on on Sunday
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: night in Fort Worth. So anyway, let's hear some more
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: Longhorn sound and then coming up, we're gonna visit with
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: Neil Price, the play by play voice of the Mississippi
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: State Bulldogs. As we continue with our SEC previews, also
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: will give away another copy of Dave Campbell's Texas Football maxim.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: And we've heard some from Jelani McDonald, so we want
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: to hear some more from him. Julani is one of
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 4: those guys who's made progress, took some definite steps forward. Now,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: what they're asking of him in addition to doing what
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: he does on the field and at the safety spot
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 4: and being versatile is the leadership thing. And so he
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: was asked about this, what about his leadership?
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 10: You have to understand, Like, for me, I make it
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 10: as if I don't say nothing, they don't know, So
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 10: I just assume they don't know.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 7: So that forces me to be on top of my game.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 8: So that's it.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, So if you are leading and you
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: are one of the elder statesmen as he is, then
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: you have to kind of help some of the younger guys,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: he said. If they're not asking, they probably don't know.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: And that includes the freshman.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 7: Recap of them.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 10: Just to keep a routine, man, stay hydrated, you know,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 10: go to sleep on time. You know, watch a little
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 10: more film if you need to eat, because that's all.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 10: That's what it comes down to. How much energy you
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 10: got it in back. If you ain't got no energy,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 10: then you can't you can't you know, produce at this level.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, and that would includes the guy who just
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: enrolled reclassifying.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 5: That's John Merit at the third.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 7: You can tell he's a very special guy.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 10: He's very competitive, very competitive, he gets physical. He'll look
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 10: quiet right now, but you know that's how all of
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 10: us was coming in and as a freshman, so that's
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 10: that's the norm. But just being able to see him
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 10: get in there with the amount of time that he
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 10: did have to learn and get in there and just
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 10: you know, have the confidence to run the things that
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 10: we run, the plays and coverages that we run, like
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 10: with the most confidence.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: Okay, when Will mush Champ was here the first time,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: is defensive coordinator.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: Quite often you'd hear a reference to what would be
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: called a must Champ moment when, in other words, when
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: he's either encouraging you or he's kind of getting on
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 4: you a little bit.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: Some days you're the marker, some days you're the whiteboard.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: That's the one, that's the one and so.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 4: And as a result of that, Jelani McDonald's asked if
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: he has encountered a much Champ moment yet.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 10: I can't say I've had a much Time moment, like
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 10: a real Muchchamp moment, but I've experienced it, and it's
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 10: like yiky mad.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 7: You know, he'll correct you this, that and third.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 10: But then guess what when you make that play right
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 10: there smiling?
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 7: Is he the first one? See he?
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 8: You know all that?
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: All that?
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, coach Herman, Okay, all right, So that's good to hear.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: The guys spent a lot of time around one another,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: both offensive and the defense. We've heard about the offensive
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: guys being down in New Orleans with ars. Defensive guys
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: spend a lot of time around as well, And so
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 4: Jelani was asked, what about the effect of this off
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: season bonding going into training camp.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 5: I have you know, when he gets hot.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 10: When when we get out the building, you know, you
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 10: see usually see people start getting on the knees, start
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 10: getting down, start getting you know, in their own space.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 10: But since we've you know, been together, I've seen you know,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 10: multiple people go pick somebody up, like you you could
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 10: lean on me.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 7: Here, get some water.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 10: I run fifteen yards that way just to bring you
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 10: water back this way. So this is you know, just
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 10: being able to put the team first, man, because at
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 10: the end of the day, this is for the team.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 7: This is just not for us.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: So and you heard him talking about, you know, going
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: to get water for other teammates and helping out all
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: this kind of stuff. That also when you are working
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: in this heat one hundred degree heat or whatever, ninety
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: eight degrees. Like I said, I had a lot of
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: fun with this the other day when folks were talking about,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: you know how hot it is, and I said, and
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: our meteorologists and I watch all of the local newscasts,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: and all of them, to a man or woman all
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: sing the same things that it's very very hot. The
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: the you know, it's one hundred degrees might cool down
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: to ninety eight cool down. Can you really know, notice
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: that much of a difference between ninety eight and one hundred.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: Maybe you can't. Maybe you can on the practice field
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: as well. But whether you can or not, Jelani McDonald
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: will tell you that coach Tory Beckton's off season conditioning
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: program certainly pays dividends.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 10: Here he ran us, so he ran us for one
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 10: and he ran us again. So just band in condition, man,

• 1:14:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was kind of that's the kind of clubby
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: side of Randy Bachman there. Uh uh. And that was
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: a bt O song, but it's funny you uh uh.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 4: I'm glad you did that. The a little spoiler alert
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 4: sneak preview.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 4: Taking care of business is what we have a little
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 4: bit later on in the program. But as we take
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 4: care of the business at hand. I saw coach Levy
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: at SEC Football media days and uh and you I've told.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 5: You this before. You know this. Uh.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 4: I've known him for a long time, even before he
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: was assistant coach. I knew Hi when he was younger
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 4: because I knew his dad was such a successful high
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: school football coach in Texas as well. And we hear
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: that you know coaches, certainly it takes him at least
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 4: a couple of years to start to ramp things up,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: and coming off getting to a ball game last year
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 4: and being able to do that and trying to improve
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: on the five and eight mark. Do you since get
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 4: the sense that not only for coach Levy but also
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 4: for the Bulldogs there is more of an implanted comfort
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: level now as they get ready to launch season number three.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 9: I think in terms of the expectation from the players, yes,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 9: I think the thing that is kind of always in
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 9: flux is that the staff changes. Now, that's not necessarily
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 9: a bad thing. Some of that needed to happen, and
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 9: I give Jeff a lot of credit because when you're young,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 9: sometimes you come into your first dad coaching job and
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 9: it's natural to want to put your stamp on something.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 9: You've got a plan. You want to show the world
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 9: that the people who have trusted you to run a
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 9: program have made the right decision, and you've got one
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 9: confidence in what you're going to do. And I think
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 9: Jeff had that when he came here two years ago
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 9: to plus, but I think he realized that he's got
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 9: to adapt and evolve, and some of that is you
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 9: have to bring in new people on your staff to
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 9: be able to make that happen. And and to his credit,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 9: he's been willing to do that. So vac Arnett, who
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 9: was the defensive coordinator here for Mike Leach and then
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 9: was the interim head coach for a season after coach
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 9: is passing, is back as the defensive coordinator. Matt Brock
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 9: is back with him, who was his co DC and
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 9: was a linebackers coach here with coach Leech. I think
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 9: those two guys are great additions and will help that
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 9: side of the ball. And then he brought a guy
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 9: like Philip Montgomery in, who has been a successful college
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 9: head coach, a guy that he knows, that he trusts,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 9: that gives him another set of eyes offensively that can
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 9: help him, you know, continue to build his scheme, try
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 9: to evolve in that way, and just give him some
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 9: experience that maybe he doesn't have. I think for somebody
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 9: to be willing to go out and make those kind
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 9: of moves and surround himself with the best people possible
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 9: says a lot about where Jeff is growing as a
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 9: head coach too well.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 4: And I see a commonality here what you just talked about.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 4: Jeff of course being an outstanding play caller, but yet
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 4: willing to have another, as you said, set of eyes
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: on the field, and coach Montgomery stark the same way,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: calling his own plays, but having enough offensive viewpoint from
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 4: others there, whether they're analysts or assistant coaches.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 5: Things like that.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 4: I think coaches are kind of getting to that point
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 4: where they realize Hey, I could still call a place.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 4: I just don't have to be the only set of
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 4: eyes on the field.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 9: Here, right. And I think if you're going to do that,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 9: and there are a lot of guys in college football
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 9: today who are the head coach slash play caller, I
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 9: think if you're going to do that, you need somebody
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 9: to kind of look at the big picture so that
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 9: you can focus on what your next play needs to be,
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 9: or you can focus on making an adjustment second drive,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 9: third drive as you begin to go deeper into the
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 9: game when you're trying to look at a big picture,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 9: plus be that guy when your offense is on the field.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 9: I don't know how guys do it. I don't. I
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 9: think it's a lot to try to balance it one time.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 9: So yeah, I mean people wonder why football staffs are
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 9: so big. Sure, the number of players is enormous, but
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 9: I just think you've got guys who have to specialize
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 9: so much within the game that you need those extra
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 9: eyes and ears out there to help you be successful.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 5: No doubt about it.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: Would you say it also not only on the offenses,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 4: because I know how fans think about this.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 5: A lot of media does as well.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: When they think Okay, the offensive play calling, maybe there's
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 4: some help there, whether somebody else is calling the plagues
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: or somebody. But on the defensive side, you mentioned Zach
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: Arnett returning, and then you've got Matt Brock who was
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: successful as a DC at Yukon as well. Having more
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: than one set of eyes in the coordinating role on
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: both sides of the ball would seem to be a benefit,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 4: and it looks like the Bulldogs are trying to capitalize
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: there as well.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and I think two guys who have worked together before,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 9: who understand each other in Zach Barnett and Matt Brock,
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 9: I think that piece is important too, because they know
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 9: how one another think when it comes to a lot
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 9: of things when you're talking about coaching defense. So I
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 9: think that piece is huge. And I don't know how
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 9: Jeff Levy will be compared to how Mike Leach was
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 9: with Zach Barnett and Matt Brock. But when coach Leach
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 9: was here, he basically told coach Barnett, look, I'm not
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 9: going to tell you how to do your job. My
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 9: job is to go score points. Your job is to
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 9: stop the other team. Now, I'm not going to tell
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 9: you that I won't go for it on fourth and
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 9: twenty from my own eighteen, and we'll turn it over.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 9: And I give you a pass because I've pinned you deep.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 9: You still got to go find a way to stop him.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 9: If I do that, that's on you. You know. I
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 9: don't know if Jeff's going to be that hands off.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 9: I think at least early on he will be. But
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 9: Zach has made it very clear too that look, you know,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 9: we'll call the plays, we'll get you in the best
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 9: position defensively we can. But if coach says this is
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 9: what he wants or this is his idea, it's his program,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 9: that's what we're going to do. So I think they've
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 9: got a really clear understanding. But Zach and Matt Brock
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 9: fit the culture of this place, Craig about as well
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 9: as anyone. I mean, they they are blue collar, hardworking.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 9: Both of them have earned everything that they've they've been
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 9: able to get in life, and I think that's something
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 9: that in this program has kind of always been the case.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 9: You know, whether it's players, coaches, they've all had to
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 9: have that blue collar kind of edge to him. And
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 9: those two guys fit this place really really well.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 4: Mississippi State play by play voice Neil Price joining us
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 4: here in our SEC previews here on sport Radio AM
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: thirteen hundred zon.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 5: All right, let's jump to the players.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 4: In a good place to start, always has at quarterback,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: and I know the Blake shape and adventure when up
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: and down in the injuries were a big part of that.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 4: But now is it safe to say this offense is
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: in the hands of Camaro Taylor?
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I think so. And you know, I'm not
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 9: trying to heap on too much with regard to expectation
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 9: on a guy who's a sophomore, but I think he
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 9: is a generational type talent. I do. They've had guys
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 9: play quarterback here in my ten years that have been
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 9: exceptional runners but have not been accurate passers. They've had
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 9: some guys that have been very accurate passers, but not
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 9: the most mobile when it comes to trying to extend
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 9: plays or get out of trouble. Camaro Taylor is a
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 9: guy who is an exceptional thrower who just happens to
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 9: be able to run at an elite level. And in
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 9: a small sample size last year, we saw him do
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 9: things that you just sit back and go wow. You know,
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 9: I mean weave his way through defenses, bring the team
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 9: back in spots and sec games where especially at Arkansas
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 9: where it wasn't looking great, look like State had lost
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 9: all the momentum and blake shape and got banged up,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 9: and Tomrio goes in the game and suddenly takes him
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 9: down the field and scores and he's a true freshman
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 9: and you're going, wow, that's not common. I think the
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 9: key for his success though, is that they've got to
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 9: have an offensive line that's capable of protecting him. And
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 9: what we saw at times last year, especially on the
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 9: left side of that offensive line, was that it wasn't consistent.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 9: So that's where they've got to take a big step.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 9: Is that group's got to be better. Give him time
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 9: to make the throws, but also keep him up right
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 9: and give him a chance to extend plays and use
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 9: all that talent. He's got to give this team a chance.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 4: Well, that's a great point, and we always talk about
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: the offensive line, you know, being that's important is a
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: guy like Cannon Boone, a guy who has to kind
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 4: of lead the charge there as well as some of
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 4: the younger guys there to step up and make sure
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: this whole line can keep Camrio Taylor upright.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and I think Cannon to. I think Cannon did
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 9: a good job of trying to be the leader. A
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 9: year ago. They just had so many injuries and you know,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 9: they had to revolve indoor. By the end of the year,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 9: they're down to seven guys and you're bringing a defensive
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 9: guy over trying to plug some holes there with regards
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 9: to depth on that offensive line. So they need people
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 9: to be healthy, they need a good leader like Cannon Boom,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 9: and they just need to be consistent do the very
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 9: basic things every day to because they've got great skill people.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 9: But you can have the greatest skill players in the world.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 9: Barry Sanders is the great exception. You know, he played
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 9: for bad teams you're in and you're out in the NFL,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 9: yet somehow found a way to get his yards and
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 9: overcome bad situation. It's hard to do that in college football.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 9: It just is. So you've got to have a group
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 9: of guys upfront that can be consistent and give those
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 9: skill guys a chance to be dynamic.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 5: I want to ask you.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 4: About a couple of offensive attorneys who I saw with
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: my own eyes in that epic game in startfield between
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 4: Texas and Mississippi State last year that overtime special and
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 4: that is Fluff Bothwell, who came in.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 5: Last year and he made an impact in that game.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 4: And then you have a veteran receiver in Anthony Evans
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 4: returning as well. And I remember those two guys specifically.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 4: How important will those two guys be in terms of
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 4: being able to direct the offense to be very productive?
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 9: Huge, because I think the ball is going to go
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 9: through both of them a lot. You know, so without
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 9: Brennan Thompson now who's moved on to the NFL, Anthony
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 9: Evans has to be your number one receiver and then
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 9: who emerges as that two guy behind him? Well, that's
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 9: what camp's for right now, and it's something that's going
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 9: to you know, play out, I think over the first
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 9: two or three games of the year, because you had
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 9: one A and one B with Brennan and Anthony Evans
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 9: last year. Now you know you got Anthony Evans, but
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 9: you don't really know who's going to step up and
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 9: be the guy with him or who that third guy
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 9: even is going to be with him there, So in
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 9: the passing game, he's going to be huge. Fluff is
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 9: a guy that. You know, I was even a little
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 9: surprised at how quick he was able to make the adjustment,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 9: and that says a lot about his talent. It says
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 9: a lot about his maturity level that he was able
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 9: to come in and make the impact he did a
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 9: year ago, and he was splitting carries a lot of
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 9: the year, and I think this year he's kind of
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 9: your bell cow guy when it comes to carrying the ball,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 9: so he's durable. What I like about him is that
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 9: he was not the fastest guy on the team a
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 9: year ago, but certainly he was capable of being a
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 9: physical runner with a fair amount of speed. And he's
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 9: a guy who catches the ball well out of the backfield,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 9: so you can use him in a lot of different ways.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 9: So in terms of the skilled people after Camrio Taylor, yeah,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 9: you're right on it. Those two guys are going to
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 9: be the two impact guys on this team.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 4: Neil probably has been said to stay played by playvoice
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 4: joined us for a few more minutes, let me jump
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 4: to the defense. And I know that with the influx
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 4: also of what he was doing with the coaching staff,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 4: coach Lebby felt like he had to get some guys
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 4: in there. Some playmakers, didn't he especially on the defensive front.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 4: You've got some transfers coming in. How do you see
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 4: that shaking down right now?
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 9: Well, I think Camp's gonna have a lot to do
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 9: with it. The guy they got back that I think
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 9: can make the biggest impact, who is sort of still
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 9: a newcomer I guess, considering only played in two and
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 9: a half games a year ago, is Will Whitson. They
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 9: brought him over from Coastal Carolina before last season. He
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 9: was really good in a small sample size, but unfortunately
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 9: it's been a trend in his career. Places he's been,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 9: he's had problems with injuries. You know, half a year's
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 9: kind of been what he's been able to do. They
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 9: hope they can get a whole year out of him
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 9: this year. And if you can take the numbers he
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 9: gave you in two and a half games last year,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 9: app to eate those out over twelve, and you think
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 9: you've got a really good rush in there who can
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 9: be a difference maker. I think he's going to be
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 9: the guy who has to anchor him up front, and
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 9: then you need the rest of that group to come
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 9: along and create some pressure. Because I do think they've
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 9: got some good cover guys. Kelly Jones is going to
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 9: be an NFL cornerback one day. They like Jet Jefferson.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 9: He's still a young guy who got banged up, only
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 9: played four games last year, but they like what he
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 9: can do as a cover guy in the secondary. So
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 9: I think they have some pieces to be good on defense,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 9: and I think they'll be different defensively this year because Backgard,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 9: that's a guy who comes off that Joe Lee, Duntree,
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 9: Rocky Long, not scared to get out there and blitz,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 9: and he may send sticks, he may send eight, he
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 9: may send ten. If you just don't know, you know
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 9: when you come from all directions. So it's a fun
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 9: defense to be a part of. And they just got
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 9: to find guys who want to get out there and
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 9: play and give them a chance to build some step before.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: We get done. Neil, I want to ask you.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 4: I always ask my fellow SEC play by play brethren
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 4: about their schedules coming up, and there's some that have
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 4: some easier rides early on.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 5: Than some others.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 4: I look at your schedule and say, Okay, there's definitely
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 4: a way to start at home a winnable non conference
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 4: game against ul Monroe, and then it looks like it's
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 4: quite a challenge having to travel up the Big Ten
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: country to play Minnesota, and it's back to back road
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 4: games because then the open SEC play the next week
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: against South Carolina on the road, and you've got South Carolina,
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 4: Missouri and then Alabama at home before you even get
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 4: a chance to catch breath. Then you've got road games
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: the Baton Rouge. You come here to Austin sandwiched around
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 4: a homecoming game against Oklahoma, and then obviously we'd never
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 4: want to leave out the Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving weekend.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: How do you see the important elements of this schedule
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 4: playing out for the Bulldogs?
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 9: Well, first of all, what else is new? I mean,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 9: that's just kind of yeah, that's just kind of the
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 9: way it is. I got to ask a similar question
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 9: the other day, and I said, remember, Mississippi State was
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 9: in the SEC West when divisions were still a thing,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 9: and they always ended the year with some combination of
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 9: some combination of Auburn, Arkansas Ole. Miss Alabama was usually
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 9: in there somewhere in that final month too. So it's
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 9: just part of it. I mean, it just is and
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 9: and and the reality is you and I understand how
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 9: tough it is. The coaches understand how tough it is.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 9: I think fans when they watch it, they just want
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 9: you to go win. They don't really care who you play.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 9: I think they have to find a way to stay
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 9: healthy against that that that middle third of that schedule
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 9: that starts. I mean, you talked about the front end.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 9: There's nothing easy about that. But when you're talking about
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 9: that stretch that starts with Alabama, I think there's a
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 9: bye week in there after that, and then you've got LSU.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 9: Remind Texas and remind me of the fourth.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 4: One at LSU, then Oklahoma at home, then Alcohol Access
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: and then and Vanderbilt, Auburn, Tennessee Tech and then close
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 4: with the egg Ball.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean there's that middle third. To me is
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 9: a murderer row. So you got to stay healthy because
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 9: we all know that's why depth is so important in
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 9: the SEC is you're going to hit stretches where guys
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 9: are going to get banged up because of the physical
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 9: demand of playing the schedule like that. So they just
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 9: got to find a way to stay healthy and get
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 9: through it, and you know, take advantage of your opportunities
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 9: at home as best as you can and go on
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 9: the road and see if you can scare somebody. I mean,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 9: that's just kind of what you have to do in
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 9: this week.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 4: He is the outstanding play by play voice of the
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 4: Mississippi State Bulldogs and all around great guy, Neil Price.

  Speaker 4: This, by the way, I like to say, continuing our
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 4: kind of a preview of sorts of the show that
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 4: I'll get up to see on Sunday. The guests who
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: and Backman Turner overdrive. This is laughing guess who with
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 4: Merton Cummings and Randy Backman and their great act and
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 4: Don Felder formerly of the Eagles, will be the opening
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 4: act for that on Sunday, So it'll be an awful
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 4: lot of fun off of that. All right, let's hear
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 4: some more longgorn football song. Ryan nibble of the Course,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 4: established himself last year as a kick and pump returner extraordinaire.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 4: Remember the two huge returns he had. We were just
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 4: talking with Neil Price a Mississippi State the two big
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 4: returns that Nibblet had in that overtime win against Mississippi State,
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 4: when it looked like the long orders are down and
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 4: might not be able to finish it off, he got
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 4: a big pump return for touchdown and got the ball back,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 4: got it in overtime.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 5: Nibble it a big, big part of it as well.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: So what does it take to be a great pump returner?
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 11: Trusting trust, Trusting your teammates gonna make their block So
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 11: so I feel like trust is one of the biggest things.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 7: Did you have a favorite one last year?
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 8: Favorite returns?
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 11: I feel like overall, I wouldn't say a favorite return,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 11: but I say my favorite game is Kentucky.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking that one as well. He's fast. We know
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 4: he's fast. You know what else is fast? We all
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 4: saw it last year, Arch Panning.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: So do the two of them.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 4: You know, we're got together as there's some speed training
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 4: that goes on with Ryan Nibblett and Arch Maanning.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 11: Not speed training we don't do. We don't do spree
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 11: training together, but any other type of training. Yeah, we
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 11: I mean we talk about speed a lot. We talk
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 11: about it. We always clown each other who the slowest,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 11: But like other than that, we don't talk.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 8: I mean, we don't train to get speed.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, last year he clearly took some people by surprise.
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 4: He realizes that even though we exploded on the scene
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 4: as a kick returner last year, he does not have
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 4: that element of surprise this time around.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 11: I mean, like I said, I really don't look too
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 11: much into that. I try not to get too far
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 11: ahead into the future trying to look and outside noise.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 11: I try to just stay focused on today and be prison.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 4: Back to that speed thing. Who are the fastest guys
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 4: on the team?
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 8: Coin?
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 11: Of course, Coin's definitely fast, I'll say Wingo and Warren
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 11: Warren robson, how about you. I don't like to put
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 11: myself in there.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 8: I'm very vil.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah he is, and he's very fast as well.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 4: Everybody's asking the media, I'm talking about the players about
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 4: what they've seen from march Manning, both in springball and
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 4: in the fall camp workout. It's both in the production
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 4: element and also as a leader.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 11: His mindset, how you approach. He's the first one in
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 11: and last want to leave every day.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 8: He career.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 11: He's not afraid to correct his guys. I'll just say
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 11: in that aspect of the game, and you know, he's
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 11: just moving much quicker.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 8: You see the game much slower, So that is very different.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 4: Remember last year, one of the fun things we had
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 4: in visiting with Ryan Nibblett was him talking about his
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 4: newborn daughter and how how great it was to be
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 4: around her, and how much fun and how much enjoyment
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 4: he hadn't we heard something on that earlier in the program.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: But how holds his daughter now?
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 4: And and and the really important question, can he change
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 4: a diaper?
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 11: He's eleven months right now, it's going to be one
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 11: in a couple of eighteen days. I'm great at change rivers.
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 4: That's an important thing for a new dad. You have
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 4: to be able to do that, all right. More from
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 4: Hero Canoe as well. The log coorts defensive lineman asked
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 4: about the intensity and the things that he's seeing, first
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 4: of all, starting with Will mush Champs defensive unit.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 12: I mean, we adapted a little bit of a different scheme.
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 12: You know, you've seen it just in the spring. But
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 12: I think we're really aggressive with the play calling and
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 12: you know, we obviously want to make place and he's
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 12: putting us in the right position to do that.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 4: So that intensity that everybody talks about with coach Boom,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 4: with coach mush.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 7: Champ, I probably say coach Muschamp.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 12: I mean he what I love about him is hees
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 12: the teacher in the classroom obviously in the meetings and everything,
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 12: but on the field, he's making sure we got the
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 12: right intent behind everything and make sure we run to
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 12: the ball, make sure we focus on our technique.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 7: And you hear him anywhere, like you know, he will.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 12: Be with the DLAs for a second, and he will
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 12: be with the with the linebackers next thing.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 12: It's like come on, you know, get your hands right,
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 12: you know, something like that. So I really loved it
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 12: about him.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 4: Also, folks have noticed the physical changes in canoe himself
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 4: and getting himself in the better shape.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 12: I'm probably wrong, like three eighteen, three twenty ish, so
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 12: I had to trim down a little bit, and naturally
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 12: you do that when it's like one hundred degrees outside.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I imagine it would getting down three eighteen to
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 4: that kind of How about what the physical changes to
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 4: him mean as opposed to coming off last year?
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 7: I mean, honestly, I think.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 12: Again, a little bit of way, little lean muscle, but
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 12: I mean it wasn't too significant.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 7: I was a little bit heavy in the spring.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 12: I lost a little bit away in the summer, probably
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 12: around three twelve, three fifteen, Right.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 4: Now, okay, all right, you know what you often to
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 4: hear about players being five star players and all that stuff.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 5: What about five star character?
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 12: To have a championship team, you need selfless people like
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 12: to do that job and make sure everybody's in the
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 12: same page, gonna have great communication. Excuse me, but you
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 12: want to make sure like that these guys care for
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 12: each other like we can't have it like for example,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 12: like everybody you know it's trying to make it to
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 12: the league, but I can't be focused I'm okay. I
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 12: don't want to help the younger guys develop because I
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 12: want to be the one that's playing at the end
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 12: of the day.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 7: You gotta have guys to come right after you. You
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 7: know I can't. I can't play seventy straight and play straight.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 7: You know, nobody can.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 12: So you gotta have guys who can rotate and just
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 12: kind of like building a culture, like we help each other.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 12: We want to be a great team. We want to
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 12: be the greatest to do it. So that's honest. See
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 12: what it takes, you know, just looking out for each
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 12: other and making sure you're selfless.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 4: Great stuff to hear from Hero Canoe. We'll be back
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 4: to wrap up today's edition of the program. I'm thirteen
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 4: under the Zone.
