  Speaker 1: Family owned and operated since 1972. Sevchak Service Center, 2200 Longmire,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: just down from the post office in College Station. It
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: is Throwback Monday. here on the big program. Don't worry
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: about how it was a little bit rough at the start.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: We have got like an award-winning show today. This portion
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of the program is brought to you by Central Texas
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Sports Medicine. We're going to hear from Mike Elko. Some
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: of you had to work. A couple of you had
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to work today, so you probably didn't hear him live
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: here on the zone a little bit earlier. We're going
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to hear part of that. We're going to Do Rangers
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: postgame with both the Brewers manager, Pat Murphy, and the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Rangers manager, Skip Schumacher? Yeah, I know, but never mind.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from one of the Aggie players,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I think. Well, no, think. Don't think. I know. It
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: is Jamari and Mauro. We are going in the second
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: hour to hear from Cease and from Rusty. It is
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the Writers' Roundtable. It's game week. And by the way,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I just looked and except for the Citadel in November,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: unless something is in October. Okay, except for that game
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in October, and we hope it might be cooler than
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: it will Saturday. This will be your cheapest chance. If
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: A & M does what everyone hopes they're going to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: do and wins the games they hope they're going to win,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Saturday will be probably your cheapest chance to see this team.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Right now... Forty two dollars in the upper deck. OK,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and I don't think you're going to. Which means and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a little hint here. If
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you'll wait until like Saturday and I know you maybe
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: make plans. You have people from coming out of town.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: You can't do that. OK, I get that. But if
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you can, I mean, to think tickets will be about
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: thirty dollars won't be unreasonable. Maybe even twenty five bucks.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And you're not going to do better than that this year,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think, even against Citadel. Look who's here. You
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: might just be able to pick one off somebody who's
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: passed out in the heat. That's not a bad idea.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: You're going to have to stay under the shade. But
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: everybody that's waiting around in the sun, and especially those
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: who are drinking extra.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Hydrating.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hydrating with alcohol on Saturday. You may get a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: free ticket. You know, it may be a little awkward.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You may have to ask the significant other or even
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the child standing next to the person, hey, since your
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: dad's not using... I'm just thinking there's opportunity. Since your
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: dad's not using... I mean, you wouldn't mind.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: You know, oh, he's in the suite. He's got the thumbprint. Look,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I've got a guy that can help carrying up like
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: James Bond to put his hand on the door that
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: opens to the suite. Oh, thank you. I mean, this
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: is why I need help.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, you could get in free on Saturday.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: If you don't, it's your own fault. Just kind of
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: hang around. And Saturday, honestly, there's always quite a few
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: people who don't go to the game. They just sit
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: under the shade trees. And whether they do or don't
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: have tickets on Saturday before halftime, I'm just telling you,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: unless Hurricane... Dolly hits or whatever it is, that's an E.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Yeah, I think we're on number five. Okay,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: so that's not going to happen. It's going to be hot.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And if it does, if we do get a little rain,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: God help us all, because it's going to feel like
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Baton Rouge, where they may or may not be playing
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: football on Saturday. I mean, you know, they're hosting Clemson.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And it's a big game, so I'm guessing they're going
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to play no matter what happens. There's all kinds of
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: stuff going on here. You know, I'm not smart enough
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to know. I know Ross Dellinger at Yahoo is a
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: pretty good college football reporter. He has a quote from
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a conference member representative, let's say. There are plenty of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: other schools who will take their place. Now look, LSU
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: ain't getting kicked out of the league. There may be
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: quite a few people in the league that wish LSU
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: would get kicked out of the league. SEC school executives,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: according to Dellinger, are exploring extreme measures to address LSU's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: plans to add former pro players, including... Boycotting competition. Who
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: else did that? And that didn't work at all. What
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: story came out in the spring like, oh, we're going
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to boycott women's softball? What team was that that made
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: people upset? I mean, everyone's boycotting Texas.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Tech, right?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech. It was Texas Tech.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: When they did Soar Speed. And everything.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're boycotting. How's that working out? As far as
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I know, Texas Tech's playing a full schedule this year.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And in fact, a pretty soft one at that. And
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: in fact, Cody Campbell has invited via Twitter, Mac Engel
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, whose credentials, along with all
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: his other fellow reporters, got revoked. And by the way,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: TCU is going to be handing out credentials to people
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: on the street before this year is over. They're going
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to be calling. They've probably already called the Star-Telegram and said, look,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: we made a huge mistake. You guys can bring.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: Your whole staff here to cover TCU football this year
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: because that press.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Box is going to be empty most of the year.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Holy moly. Remember how bad North Carolina was against TCU
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: last year? And you just said, good gosh, I thought
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Bill Belichick was a coach. And it didn't even resemble
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a junior high team. That was TCU on Saturday. And
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I tweeted this out, and I have no knowledge whatsoever,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: because according to Sonny, This is a close team that
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: love each other. Well, apparently two guys or at least
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: one guy did not love at least one of his
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: teammates because he beat him down in the locker room
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and he had to go to the hospital. Okay? So
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the only thing Sonny has said is this team loves
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: each other. This was a close team and it was surprising.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And I'm going... I don't know. After watching this team
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: play on Saturday, either A, the rest of the players
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: are looking over their shoulder in the locker room because
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: only one of the guys has been dismissed, and there
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: may be others. I'm not saying there is. I'm just
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: saying they played like something. Either A, something's wrong there,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: or B, this is a really bad football team, and A,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Even guys who know football were kind of excited about
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: this Ivy League transfer from Harvard at quarterback, and he
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: was terrible. I mean, he was just, I'll tell you
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: how bad he was. He was worse than Josh Hoover.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And I can't wait to see what Kurt Cignetti's staff
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: does with Josh Hoover. I think they will probably threaten
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: him with his life. every time he throws an interception
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: because he threw a lot of them at TCU. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: maybe they can turn it because he has an arm.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: He can make every throw. But you don't know if
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: it's going to your team or you don't know if
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it's going to the other team. And I'm anxious to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: see that staff at work because they obviously know what
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: they're doing. This staff, however, with the new offensive coordinator,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: which came from The T.C. offensive coordinator came from someplace
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: like a P4 school.– you know, I don't know. I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: don't remember. But it wasn't pretty. I mean– and North
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Carolina is– what's his name? Gordon Samuels? Samus. Samus.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And he was from– UConn.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: UConn. Okay. That looked about right on Saturday.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: But.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Look.
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: What if they trade Florida State?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: That's another one. Norville. And by the way, always been
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a Gary Patterson fan. I really think the guy can coach.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I do. But I mean, USC still looks like the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: visor is still coaching them. Because it was at San
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Jose State. Is that right? I mean, it was San
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Jose State. And, yes, they had a lead. And, yes,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: they were never threatened. But that's not the point. The
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: point is they gave up like 28 points to San
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Jose State at home. And, oh, it was hot. Ooh,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: there was only 40,000 people in the stands. I'm thinking
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it was hot.
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: I looked.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I said, I don't know, it's L.A. because sometimes it's okay. Look,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it was like 94 degrees. It was hot, okay? It was.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: And it was San Jose State. I get that. But
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: everybody within... They're excited about the Trojans this year. And, boy,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: we got Gary Patterson. And we know we can have
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: an offense. And this Maiva, and he was good. And
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: they've got talent. Because I've watched them like four years now.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Talent has not been the issue with the visor. I'm
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: just telling you. He, especially offense. Offensive talent. Okay, let me,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: let me. But you look on that defense. They've got
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: bodies there now. They look good getting off the bus.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And maybe Gary Patterson just hadn't been there long enough.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe he will turn them into a defensive unit. But
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, man, and you look at their schedule, and
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I mean, it's not easy. I mean,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at four losses with just a pretty good,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're a pretty good team, I'm looking
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: at four losses. I mean, Oregon, I think, will beat
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: them down. I mean, among others. And I'm thinking, I
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: don't know. From what the fans are expecting. And they've built.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: So they've given money. They have been. They showed this
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: on TV Saturday. They've built them a facility. Like almost
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: everyone has now. They've got new facilities at Florida State,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: which is why they can't afford to get rid of
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: their football coach, which, again, after this weekend, there's going
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to be more outcry. And after this coming weekend, they're
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: playing SMU. There's going to be a bigger outcry because
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I guarantee that quarterback and that offense, they'll put 31
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: on Florida State without thinking, okay? And the Florida State
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: team I saw Saturday said, Briefly, because it was so ugly,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I couldn't watch it. They can't. They couldn't put 31
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: on TCU right now. I mean, I'm just telling you.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Norvell is... But they can't afford it because they built
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: this brand new... Remember, that was the thing. Their facilities
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: were horrible. And everybody said that. Jimbo, you know, one
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of the reasons he left, other than the $ 280 million
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: or whatever, was, hey, they're not... keeping up. We don't
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: have the facilities to keep up in recruiting, and this
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: was before they were handing out millions of dollars. I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: would maintain that the facilities, while important, while still important,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: they're not as important as how big that check is
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: that you're writing, right? And I don't think Florida State, again,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: they didn't have money to get rid of Norvell, and
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what their NIL situation is. I really don't.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but I don't think it's... It's... Hey.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Didn't they just upgrade their.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Would you turn his... Turn Dusty on, please, Stan.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 14:35
  Speaker 10: There we go.
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: Up.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Didn't they just upgrade their football.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: The stadium itself and shrink it, take seats out? Ooh,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. It was sold out. It looked...
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, they had aerial views, so I couldn't tell.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I think they... More suites, maybe.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: They put more suites in and took seats out. Yeah,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that probably makes sense. I didn't see the attendance. Yeah,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: it's not a real big stadium. It was pretty big.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was a good. It's not tiny. No,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: it's not. But they shrunk it a little bit. Okay,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. But it was sold out. It
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: won't be much longer. If they play like that again,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: it won't be. I don't think it's going to be
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: sold out.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Thanks to Dusty, really, for my laugh of the day, honestly.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I think we've given you ample opportunity to be able
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to get into the football game on Saturday. If I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: do nothing else, this is what we've done for you
• 15:37

  Speaker 1: elko had to say today with the media.
• 20:06
  Speaker 14: Let's just start with things going on in and around
• 20:08
  Speaker 14: the program. Really excited for the R.C. Slocum statue reveal.
• 20:13
  Speaker 14: That'll be Friday at 2 o'clock. Really, really unbelievable accomplishment
• 20:18
  Speaker 14: for a guy who is the winningest head football coach
• 20:21
  Speaker 14: in Texas A & M history. A guy who won
• 20:23
  Speaker 14: six Southwest Conference championships, two Big 12 South championships. Big
• 20:27
  Speaker 14: 12 South Conference Championships and really a guy who kind
• 20:31
  Speaker 14: of epitomizes what being an elite coach here at Texas
• 20:34
  Speaker 14: A & M is all about. And so hopefully we'll
• 20:36
  Speaker 14: get a lot of people out for that. That's a
• 20:37
  Speaker 14: really cool moment. That'll be a really cool day for him.
• 20:40
  Speaker 14: I want to say congratulations to the 32 Aggies who
• 20:44
  Speaker 14: made football rosters yesterday. That includes a few guys on
• 20:47
  Speaker 14: IR and the PUP list, but we have 32 guys
• 20:50
  Speaker 14: still currently listed on NFL rosters. And so what a
• 20:54
  Speaker 14: great accomplishment for those guys yesterday. And then from our perspective,
• 20:59
  Speaker 14: it's finally game week. Finally, we get to stop talking. Finally,
• 21:02
  Speaker 14: we get to stop talking about what things can be,
• 21:04
  Speaker 14: what things can be about. And we get to run
• 21:07
  Speaker 14: out of the tunnel and go play somebody else. And
• 21:09
  Speaker 14: it's beyond past the time to go do that. Our
• 21:12
  Speaker 14: kids are really excited and fired up for it. opportunity
• 21:16
  Speaker 14: to take on a Missouri State team who recently made
• 21:19
  Speaker 14: the jump to Conference USA and really is one of
• 21:22
  Speaker 14: the hotter athletic departments in the country when you look
• 21:25
  Speaker 14: at some of the things they accomplished last year, football
• 21:27
  Speaker 14: being a bowl team in their first year in Division I,
• 21:30
  Speaker 14: the women's basketball team making and advancing in the NCAA tournament,
• 21:34
  Speaker 14: the baseball team qualifying for the NCAA tournament as an
• 21:38
  Speaker 14: at-large team, I just think this is a program that's really,
• 21:41
  Speaker 14: really on the rise, and they went out this offseason
• 21:44
  Speaker 14: and hired a new head coach, Casey Woods, who is
• 21:46
  Speaker 14: the offensive coordinator at SMU, a guy who is really
• 21:49
  Speaker 14: well-renowned as an offensive strategist, a young guy who has
• 21:53
  Speaker 14: been really, really hot on.
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: The OC market in the last few years, and so.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: It's an exciting program.
• 22:00
  Speaker 14: It's an exciting team to get a chance to go
• 22:01
  Speaker 14: out and compete against, and we're really looking forward to it.
• 22:05
  Speaker 14: I think when you talk about personnel, we've talked a
• 22:08
  Speaker 14: lot about how openers sometimes are very challenging. I think
• 22:12
  Speaker 14: when you're playing a new staff, it makes it even
• 22:14
  Speaker 14: more challenging. I think the amount of film that we're
• 22:17
  Speaker 14: watching in terms of teams, you're watching teams UTEP, SMU, TCU, Tulane.
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: Auburn, to try to get schematic.
• 22:27
  Speaker 14: And then that's to say nothing about all of the
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: players that you're having to watch and the different places
• 22:32
  Speaker 14: that they come from. And so trying to do the
• 22:34
  Speaker 14: best job we can of piecing it all together and
• 22:37
  Speaker 14: trying to figure it all out. But like a lot
• 22:39
  Speaker 14: of openers, it's going to really be about ourselves and
• 22:42
  Speaker 14: getting ourselves ready to go out and play our best
• 22:44
  Speaker 14: football to the best we can and hope that that
• 22:46
  Speaker 14: shows Saturday night.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: And so from there, we'll kind of open it up
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: to questions.
• 22:50
  Speaker 16: Coach, we'll go to the right, second row, David.
• 22:53
  Speaker 17: Coach, do you break, now that we've turned the page
• 22:55
  Speaker 17: to a game week, do you break the season into
• 22:57
  Speaker 17: micro-segments or phases and build towards November? I know you
• 23:01
  Speaker 17: guys don't try to peak. You want to be peaked
• 23:03
  Speaker 17: all season, but is there a micro-fraction to that?
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I always function in quarters.
• 23:08
  Speaker 14: I just think that's how, to me, football makes sense, obviously.
• 23:13
  Speaker 14: And so we talk about you have the first quarter,
• 23:16
  Speaker 14: your first three games, and then you've got that middle quarter.
• 23:18
  Speaker 14: stretch and then you have the fourth quarter which is
• 23:21
  Speaker 14: the last three but um you know right now i
• 23:24
  Speaker 14: think it's really just about focusing on us going out
• 23:27
  Speaker 14: there and seeing what we are seeing what we're capable
• 23:30
  Speaker 14: of doing it together as a team for the first
• 23:33
  Speaker 14: time in a live setting and then um you know
• 23:36
  Speaker 14: figuring out where the adjustments need to come and what
• 23:38
  Speaker 14: we need to do to become the best team we're
• 23:40
  Speaker 14: capable of being.
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: We'll stay to the right first row carter Mike, how.
• 23:45
  Speaker 16: Would you assess kind of what you've seen from your
• 23:47
  Speaker 16: offensive guards, and how close would you say you are
• 23:50
  Speaker 16: to kind of knowing what that group will look like?
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think we're getting closer to knowing what it'll
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: look like. I think....
• 23:58
  Speaker 14: It's been a very, very competitive battle, which has been really,
• 24:02
  Speaker 14: really good for us. It's been really good to see
• 24:05
  Speaker 14: some of the young guys that we've talked about this
• 24:07
  Speaker 14: a lot, but some of the young guys in our
• 24:09
  Speaker 14: program really elevate and then see some of the new
• 24:12
  Speaker 14: guys who have come into the program and really being
• 24:14
  Speaker 14: forced to elevate in order to, to win jobs and,
• 24:18
  Speaker 14: I still believe it's played out like we hoped it would.
• 24:21
  Speaker 14: You have a really, really strong competition where in the
• 24:24
  Speaker 14: end of the day, whoever runs out there for the
• 24:27
  Speaker 14: first snap, there's going to be a lot of guys
• 24:30
  Speaker 14: that get an opportunity to go out there and play
• 24:33
  Speaker 14: both inside at guard and center and then outside at
• 24:35
  Speaker 14: tackle as well. I think we're getting a little bit
• 24:39
  Speaker 14: closer to who the group will be that starts, but
• 24:42
  Speaker 14: The reality is we're still searching to figure out who
• 24:44
  Speaker 14: the best five is and what that will look like
• 24:47
  Speaker 14: because you don't really know until you get into those
• 24:49
  Speaker 14: live game settings what it's going to look like together.
• 24:52
  Speaker 18: We'll go to the left, second row, Alex.
• 24:54
  Speaker 19: Kind of going off Carter's question to that point, do
• 24:57
  Speaker 19: you anticipate maybe having a healthy rotation of guys going
• 25:00
  Speaker 19: in along that offensive line throughout the game this week
• 25:02
  Speaker 19: as you try and figure out those five?
• 25:04
  Speaker 14: Yeah, and I'm not saying because we're trying to figure
• 25:06
  Speaker 14: it out. I just think that's who we've been. Last
• 25:09
  Speaker 14: year when we had a lot of returning starters and
• 25:11
  Speaker 14: Nobody was unsure about who the starters were. We still
• 25:14
  Speaker 14: went into this opening segment knowing we were going to
• 25:17
  Speaker 14: rotate guys in.
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: I just think that's really, really important. I think the
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: more guys that.
• 25:23
  Speaker 14: You have involved, the more guys that you believe can
• 25:25
  Speaker 14: help you win, the better that is for everything.
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: It's better for morale.
• 25:29
  Speaker 14: It's better for lasting 12 games it's better for development
• 25:33
  Speaker 14: it's just literally better in every way shape or form
• 25:36
  Speaker 14: when you have enough guys that can go out there
• 25:38
  Speaker 14: and rotate and help now the challenge is making sure
• 25:40
  Speaker 14: that you have enough guys that the level doesn't drop
• 25:43
  Speaker 14: and they're capable of playing to the standard they need
• 25:45
  Speaker 14: to play at and i think that's what the competition
• 25:48
  Speaker 14: has shown and you know now we got to go
• 25:50
  Speaker 14: out in a game setting and show that we can
• 25:51
  Speaker 14: play at that level And then.
• 25:53
  Speaker 15: Just wanted to ask if you anticipate if Damian will
• 25:55
  Speaker 15: play this week.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Right now, yes.
• 25:57
  Speaker 14: Probably still a little bit of a game-time decision. But
• 26:00
  Speaker 14: if you were to ask me right now, yes, I
• 26:02
  Speaker 14: anticipate him being out there.
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: We'll go back over to the right, first row, Travis. Hey, Coach.
• 26:08
  Speaker 15: With everything you've seen in fall camp, what are some
• 26:12
  Speaker 15: characteristics that make you believe that this team might be
• 26:14
  Speaker 15: one that could potentially take a step forward from the
• 26:16
  Speaker 15: last two years?
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Um.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: That's a hard question to answer until you get out
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: there and play. I don't know that you see things
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: until you go out and you've got to play for real.
• 26:28
  Speaker 14: We've elevated ourselves to be a team that has made
• 26:31
  Speaker 14: the playoff, has competed to go to the SEC Championship,
• 26:33
  Speaker 14: has finished in the top ten. I think whether this
• 26:39
  Speaker 14: team can do that, I don't know.
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: We'll find out when we start playing people for real.
• 26:42
  Speaker 15: And now that we have a depth chart, can you
• 26:43
  Speaker 15: go a little bit into the kicking battle and what
• 26:45
  Speaker 15: separated David.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: And how close that was?
• 26:47
  Speaker 14: Yeah, he's a really good kicker.
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: I think he was hurt in the spring and so
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: he didn't really get to kick much. And so.
• 26:55
  Speaker 14: Asher got his opportunity and really did a nice job.
• 26:58
  Speaker 14: And then that created a competition, not because David didn't
• 27:02
  Speaker 14: do anything, but just because you had this other guy
• 27:04
  Speaker 14: really step up all spring.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: And so then they went back.
• 27:07
  Speaker 14: And forth and It was very, very close and very,
• 27:11
  Speaker 14: very tight, and tight because both guys were phenomenal. And
• 27:15
  Speaker 14: so I think we have a really, really strong kicking situation,
• 27:18
  Speaker 14: and we just decided to go with the guy who
• 27:20
  Speaker 14: maybe has done it a little bit more at the
• 27:21
  Speaker 14: college level at this point.
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: But both of them were really, really good this fall.
• 27:26
  Speaker 19: On the left, third row, Tyler.
• 27:30
  Speaker 17: Coach, how much are you realistically able to learn about
• 27:32
  Speaker 17: your team here in week one, and what kind of
• 27:34
  Speaker 17: the main things in the trenches are you going to
• 27:37
  Speaker 17: be looking at?
• 27:40
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, you guys are going to want to
• 27:42
  Speaker 14: make these massive overreactions because that's what we do, and
• 27:46
  Speaker 14: that's just kind of what we do in today's society.
• 27:50
  Speaker 14: I think we want to go out and we want
• 27:51
  Speaker 14: to see where we are, knowing that what we're going
• 27:55
  Speaker 14: to be is going to be way better than that
• 27:57
  Speaker 14: each week we go out there. And so I don't
• 27:59
  Speaker 14: know that you have these things that you're looking for
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: because I'm not trying to– I feel like sometimes in openers,
• 28:06
  Speaker 14: everyone's trying to identify, is this team going to be
• 28:09
  Speaker 14: good enough? I know we're good enough to compete. I
• 28:11
  Speaker 14: know we're good enough to compete. I know we have
• 28:13
  Speaker 14: enough talent to be in this thing. I know we're
• 28:15
  Speaker 14: going to have an opportunity. What we have to do
• 28:17
  Speaker 14: is be a team that focuses on what is important
• 28:20
  Speaker 14: to play winning football, and then that grows week to week.
• 28:23
  Speaker 14: And so for me, it's I want to go out there,
• 28:26
  Speaker 14: I want to play somebody, I want to see where
• 28:27
  Speaker 14: we're at. And then from there, it's going to be
• 28:30
  Speaker 14: really important, wherever that is, that we grow coming out
• 28:34
  Speaker 14: of it. And that to me is what makes really,
• 28:36
  Speaker 14: really good football teams over the course of the season.
• 28:38
  Speaker 14: But I'm not, I'm not sitting here on this podium, like,
• 28:42
  Speaker 14: oh my gosh, I need to see this or we're
• 28:44
  Speaker 14: in trouble.
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: Like I just, that's not really how, how we work
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: as coaches. We'll go over to the right, Rob.
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: Howdy coach.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: Howdy.
• 28:53
  Speaker 21: So long, hot summer, the last few weeks, the weather
• 28:57
  Speaker 21: has been just blooming hot. How do you kind of
• 28:59
  Speaker 21: navigate the weather and, and, having a good fall camp,
• 29:04
  Speaker 21: preparing for game one and game two and a 2.30 kickoff,
• 29:09
  Speaker 21: and make sure the guys are still fresh? How do
• 29:12
  Speaker 21: you kind of navigate that?
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: Run into it.
• 29:15
  Speaker 14: I think anybody who saw that video that came out
• 29:17
  Speaker 14: last night, you know, we don't. We don't sidestep it.
• 29:21
  Speaker 14: We had all three of our scrimmages or Saturday practices.
• 29:25
  Speaker 14: We had one weekend practice every week that was at kickoff.
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: Time in the stadium in the heat. It is what
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: it is.
• 29:34
  Speaker 14: Obviously, we're really intelligent about load management and how we
• 29:38
  Speaker 14: do all that stuff and making sure everybody's safe and
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: protected like we're not uh it's not the old days
• 29:43
  Speaker 14: but um but yeah I don't think you can hide
• 29:46
  Speaker 14: from it it's going to be you know we've got
• 29:47
  Speaker 14: two two kickoffs that are going to be right in
• 29:49
  Speaker 14: the middle of the Texas heat in September you know
• 29:51
  Speaker 14: we've got an opener that's going to be at six
• 29:53
  Speaker 14: o'clock and it's still pretty hot at six o'clock in
• 29:55
  Speaker 14: Texas in September and so uh it is what it
• 29:58
  Speaker 14: is and we just got to go play We'll.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Go over to the left.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Jesus.
• 30:03
  Speaker 16: Coach, what does it mean to you to have a
• 30:05
  Speaker 16: veteran kicker like Alano, especially after last year with some
• 30:10
  Speaker 16: of the kicking problems? I heard you speak at one
• 30:12
  Speaker 16: of the coaches' nights, and you said that was your
• 30:14
  Speaker 16: number one guy on your team. transfer portal board what
• 30:16
  Speaker 16: does he bring to your team and what does it
• 30:18
  Speaker 16: mean to have a veteran this year.
• 30:19
  Speaker 14: Yeah i mean we had a veteran last year and
• 30:21
  Speaker 14: so hopefully what it means is is consistency when he
• 30:24
  Speaker 14: goes out there but um again you know you don't
• 30:26
  Speaker 14: make a lot of statements on a podium you know
• 30:28
  Speaker 14: we got to go do it on the field and
• 30:30
  Speaker 14: so we're excited for david we believe in him but
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: um you know he's got to go out there and
• 30:34
  Speaker 14: he's got.
• 30:34
  Speaker 18: To do it we'll go to the back right chip Mike,
• 30:38
  Speaker 18: you mentioned the difficulty, especially early in the season, of
• 30:42
  Speaker 18: identifying the other team's personnel. What do you know offensively
• 30:47
  Speaker 18: about this team and maybe even one or two guys
• 30:50
  Speaker 18: that you have to pick?
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: Pay attention to yeah.
• 30:54
  Speaker 14: You know they've got a really talented quarterback that came
• 30:56
  Speaker 14: over from UTEP that started seven games who's got the
• 30:59
  Speaker 14: ability to hurt you with his arms and with his
• 31:01
  Speaker 14: legs and came with the offensive coordinator and so he's
• 31:04
  Speaker 14: going to be familiar with you know the offensive style
• 31:08
  Speaker 14: and what they're trying to do they've got a slot
• 31:11
  Speaker 14: receiver who is their leading receiver from last year who's
• 31:14
  Speaker 14: really really talented they got a big tall athletic tight
• 31:17
  Speaker 14: end who will be a matchup issue in the past game.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: I think that's what you know.
• 31:23
  Speaker 14: And then from there, it's a lot of transfers and
• 31:25
  Speaker 14: trying to piece together who's going to go out there,
• 31:29
  Speaker 14: what they're going to look like in the new system,
• 31:31
  Speaker 14: in a new program.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: That's some of what Mike Elko had to say today.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: The emphasis on the place kicker, David Alano, the transfer
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: from Illinois, fifth-year senior who won the job. over the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: freshman Asher Murray for now. And, yeah, that's another area
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: you're looking at where this team is going to need
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: some more consistency, and that's in the kicking game. Hey,

• 35:48
  Speaker 1: We've got Astros baseball at 640 tonight against the White Sox.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this or not. It's
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. Tennessee volunteers are going to have a helmet
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: patch with Dolly's butterfly logo on it this year. Really cool.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: You can look that up. We mentioned at the top,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a good weekend for TCU. And over the weekend,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Former safety Jacob Fields was charged with aggravated assault causing
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: serious bodily injury in a locker room altercation August the 13th.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Fields turned himself in Sunday morning and was released on bail.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: And it's a cluster in Fort Worth right now. And apparently...
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: USC is making excuses on the attendance, which was announced
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: at 51,000 in the Coliseum on Saturday. Well, it was hot.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: They kicked off at noon. We thank the fans that
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: showed up. Yeah, it was San Jose State, and it
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: was hot. And it was in the middle of the afternoon.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I believe A & M plays at 2.30 a week
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: from Saturday. I'm pretty sure that's true, right, against Arizona State?
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Against Arizona, they play at 11. Ooh, 11 a.m. At Kentucky,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: they play at 2.30. Okay. That's home, by the way,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: to Kentucky. So that's a 2.30 home game. So they
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: have an 11 a.m. game and a 2.30 game. I
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: think Texas kicks off at 2.30 Saturday. It's going to
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: be hot, but it's always hot this time of year.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Okay, I mentioned we got Astros.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: The Rangers still two games behind. They started the road
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: trip with a win, and they ended the road trip
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: with a win. In between, they were horrible. Kumar Rocker
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: is getting praised for pitching three innings yesterday. Well, he
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: struck out seven. Well, he pitched three innings in a
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: pennant race. And still didn't cover first base. And still
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: didn't cover first base. Skip Schumacher tried to defend him afterward.
• 38:37
  Speaker 13: I mean, it was a tough first inning.
• 38:39
  Speaker 20: Them getting two runs against Rocker and then just some
• 38:42
  Speaker 20: long innings after that. Went right to the bullpen. Alexander
• 38:46
  Speaker 20: was fantastic. Kind of kept him at two runs. And
• 38:48
  Speaker 20: then our offense came back. And it's going to take
• 38:50
  Speaker 20: you know, we've talked about offensive identity and, you.
• 38:53
  Speaker 13: Know, what that means.
• 38:54
  Speaker 20: And it's going to take some heart and guts to
• 38:56
  Speaker 20: fight back and to start getting more wins.
• 38:59
  Speaker 13: And that's exactly what happened today.
• 39:01
  Speaker 20: These guys are working hard to get it right.
• 39:04
  Speaker 13: And it was a really good offensive performance.
• 39:05
  Speaker 20: So really good job with the bullpen and obviously the
• 39:09
  Speaker 20: offense coming alive. I know I feel like a broken
• 39:12
  Speaker 20: record every time I talk about him. After a win,
• 39:14
  Speaker 20: it feels like he's involved somehow, either on the defensive
• 39:18
  Speaker 20: side or on the offensive side today.
• 39:19
  Speaker 13: Huge double with runners on base.
• 39:22
  Speaker 20: I know he got the home run, but I felt
• 39:24
  Speaker 20: like the double with runners on base is what you know,
• 39:27
  Speaker 20: the momentum changed and in such a big hit at
• 39:30
  Speaker 20: the time. And then we, you know, kind of, kind
• 39:32
  Speaker 20: of tacked on after that, but yeah, Zeke, you know, I,
• 39:35
  Speaker 20: He's been our most valuable player.
• 39:36
  Speaker 13: He's played every position.
• 39:38
  Speaker 20: At any league level, and I'm glad he's carried us
• 39:41
  Speaker 20: for most of the year. Yeah, such a weird road trip.
• 39:43
  Speaker 20: We won the first one and won the last one,
• 39:45
  Speaker 20: and nothing in the middle. So hopefully we can start
• 39:49
  Speaker 20: a winning streak. Always nice to win the last game.
• 39:52
  Speaker 20: It's a lot better jumping on a flight after a win,
• 39:55
  Speaker 20: and hopefully it starts something offensively for sure when we
• 39:58
  Speaker 20: get back home.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Ezekiel Durant, who he was talking about there at the end,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: has just been unreal. Evan Grant suggested that Ezekiel Duran
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: not to win, but at least should be in the
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: conversation of MVP. Not of the team, of the American League.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: He has been unbelievable. He should win a gold glove
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: as a utility player. He should win a silver slugger award.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's been unreal. Milwaukee's pretty good, by the way.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Best record in baseball. Pat Murphy, the manager, talked about
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: his starting pitcher, Dustin May, and the series with the Rangers.
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: He knew that he, you know, he needed to give
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: us some innings today, and he knew our bullpen situation,
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: and I thought he did some really good things, but
• 40:55
  Speaker 8: it's been kind of the nemesis for him, you know? Like,
• 40:57
  Speaker 8: I don't think he's 100% comfortable yet. We've got to
• 41:01
  Speaker 8: do a better job of helping him, too, and... Yeah,
• 41:04
  Speaker 8: I thought there was a lot of good, but it's
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: a good team. You know, it's a good team. There's
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: enough veteran presence there with Peterson, Seager, Nemo. There's Berger
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: and young kids like Freeman and Freeman, Duran, and Langford.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: They're really, really talented.
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: So, you know, they had a good game. Say what
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: you want. I mean, we had him at almost 90
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: pitches after three innings, but he did settle down and
• 41:32
  Speaker 8: retire I don't know how many in a row And
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: we didn't get another hit until like the sixth or
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: seventh inning. And maybe three hits after the– four hits
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: after the first inning. Got to do a little more
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: than that.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: That's Pat Murphy, the fine manager of the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Rangers begin a series with the Oakland A's. Maybe they
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: can beat Oakland.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: We said that the last time they were on the
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: West Coast, right? Never mind. Astros Report, brought to you

• 43:20
  Speaker 26: in the game yesterday to get the series win over
• 43:23
  Speaker 26: the New York Mets by a final score of 6-3.
• 43:25
  Speaker 26: Jeremy Pena wasted no time getting Houston on the board
• 43:28
  Speaker 26: with a leadoff homer to start the game. The Mets
• 43:30
  Speaker 26: took the lead right after in the bottom first with
• 43:32
  Speaker 26: a pair of solo homers from Francisco Odendor and Juan Soto.
• 43:36
  Speaker 26: Pena would add another RBI with a single in the
• 43:38
  Speaker 26: top second to tie things up, but then New York
• 43:40
  Speaker 26: would get the lead again after an RBI groundout in
• 43:42
  Speaker 26: the bottom fifth. Then in the sixth, Lamont Wade Jr.
• 43:45
  Speaker 26: would put the Astros in front for good with a
• 43:47
  Speaker 26: two-run homer.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Late night, Lamont.
• 43:50
  Speaker 13: In the middle of the daytime.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Top tank, two-run pinch hit, Homer.
• 43:55
  Speaker 26: Houston would go on to secure the win with another
• 43:57
  Speaker 26: pair of runs off throwing errors by the Mets in
• 43:59
  Speaker 26: the seventh. The Astros return home for a four-game series

• 45:35
  Speaker 1: when you think about it. Okay, let's do this. Let's listen.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: By the way, the other story from Coach Elko, besides
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: the place kicker, he did say if it were today,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Damian Sanford would start. He said it'll be a game-time decision,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: but he expects him to play the linebacker on Saturday.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: It's great news for the Aggie defense. All right, Jamari
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: and Mauro, let's hear from the running backs.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: This camp in life.
• 46:10
  Speaker 17: For you and like just what have you seen from
• 46:13
  Speaker 17: yourself mentally as opposed to maybe freshman year as you're trying.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: To get into it I would say mentally.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: Just taking on a bigger role this year. I feel
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: like I was just a freshman last year and now
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: I'm an older guy in the room. Just taking on
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: a bigger role, trying to understand situations that I'd be
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: in that I wouldn't be in last year. With the
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: older room, I've been getting a lot of those situations
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: because of that. So I'm just trying to learn the
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: situations that I'll be in now.
• 46:41
  Speaker 17: Has physically it kind of been the same kind of
• 46:43
  Speaker 17: rate of growth as well?
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: You said what?
• 46:46
  Speaker 17: Physically the same rate of growth that you had mentally?
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, bigger role as far as like, yeah, a lot
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: more hits, a lot more tackles, yeah, a lot more time.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: With the ball, yeah. You got to take on that
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: time to like recover and stuff like that, yeah.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: Give us an evaluation, your evaluation of that and running
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: back individually.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: I would say we got like....
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: A lot of explosive guys as far as, we got
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: Carson Baker, a lot of them young guys, they explosive.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: They got them young legs, yeah, they're explosive. We got
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: what we can do. Yeah, I'm just trying to find
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: my place in there. Who's the biggest big play threat
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: in that room? I said you. I said we all
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: make plays. We all make plays. I'm kind of interested
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: in the way that you complement each other. What makes
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: those skill sets different?
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: How good can it be to kind of change the base.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Once you're in it? I would say we play a
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: lot similar. He got a little more, you know, like,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to, like.
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: We play a lot similar, so, like, I don't think
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: it's a drop-off when somebody else gets in.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: It's pretty much the same.
• 47:43
  Speaker 24: Tariq, what do you think has been the biggest lesson
• 47:45
  Speaker 24: you're taking away from Hallman Wiggins, the offensive coordinator?
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: The biggest takeaway is, like, just the mentality that he has.
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: Just his mentality is a little bit different than what I'm.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: Used to in office equipment.
• 47:59
  Speaker 17: This offseason, it seemed you put in some work with
• 48:01
  Speaker 17: the work my receiver coach, what made you want to
• 48:03
  Speaker 17: do that?
• 48:04
  Speaker 15: And kind of just how beneficial was getting some of that.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: Work with him? I was just looking for extra work.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: I was just up here and AJ happened to be
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: here with him. And I just, yeah, I was just looking.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: For some work. And how much, how open does that work?
• 48:17
  Speaker 24: How much more full of a threat can you be
• 48:19
  Speaker 24: now as a pass catcher and somebody can run routes
• 48:22
  Speaker 24: on the backfield?
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I played a lot of receiver in high school,
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: so yeah, it was second nature.
• 48:26
  Speaker 19: What do you feel like has been maybe the biggest
• 48:29
  Speaker 19: points of emphasis for you this offseason, the ways you
• 48:31
  Speaker 19: wanted to grow and improve your game?
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: I would say mentally, as far as, like I said before,
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: trying to understand those situations that I would be in,
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: like those, like I went in a goal line a
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: lot last year, wasn't in those, like when a game
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: on the line type of plays, I went in.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: For those situations, just trying to prepare myself for those situations.
• 48:52
  Speaker 19: Reuben was pretty open with us toward the beginning of
• 48:55
  Speaker 19: fall camp, but just about some of the ways he
• 48:57
  Speaker 19: wants to improve as a player.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: What have you seen from.
• 48:59
  Speaker 19: Him this offseason, the way he's maybe grown on the
• 49:02
  Speaker 19: field and maybe as a leader as well?
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: I know balance was a big thing for him.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: He was trying to, like, get better on his balance,
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: and I feel like I ain't really seen him fall
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: much this whole camp or in.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: The spring, really. I know that was a big emphasis
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: And I just say that leader role as far as
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: him being an older guy now in the room, he
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: just took on that role perfectly.
• 49:20
  Speaker 15: Is Tiger Wright one of those guys that you can
• 49:21
  Speaker 15: see feeling like a power back role or you need
• 49:24
  Speaker 15: a couple yards.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: To get in? Yeah, Tiger, he's all around back as well.
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's really good when it comes to those short
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: yardage plays and those pass rotations.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been doing really well.
• 49:36
  Speaker 19: What is it about Carson and KJ in particular, the
• 49:39
  Speaker 19: true freshman guys, but seem to have the ability to
• 49:43
  Speaker 19: maybe impact you guys this fall?
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they've been catching on really well. They catch on
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: really fast, I would say. Just like me and Tiger
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: was our freshman year, I feel like they've been catching
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: on really fast, and they fast in general.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: You're talking about Ruben working on his contact balance.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: As a running back, is that something you can really
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: kind of work on, or is that more a natural ability?
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: I feel like he could work on it as well,
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: like just focusing in on it would definitely help, just
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: trying not to fall or just working on it.
• 50:10
  Speaker 19: How would you describe Ruben's leadership style and just kind
• 50:14
  Speaker 19: of the way he's grown in that area?
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: I'd say he leads by example. We don't nominate a
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: man a lot of words. Yeah, he leads by example.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: From your perspective, how's the offensive line been coming along?
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: And just how many guys in front have you really
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: seen working that could impact this team?
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: I feel like we have a lot of depth as
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: far as in our O-line room, and they've been moving
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: people as far as when they come to the run game.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: That's a big thing that I see from the O-line.
• 50:39
  Speaker 15: You've seen a lot of guys come in with a
• 50:41
  Speaker 15: lot of flashy cleats.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: Those are pretty old school. What about with that choice?
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Just practice. I ain't really looking to shine too much.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: That's Jamari and Mauro. And just looking at the depth chart,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: which– You take with a grain of salt, frankly, and
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: we know up front Elko is going to play a
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: lot of different guys, and he may move some guys
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: in position. He has always done that. Michael Riley, one
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: of the captains, Richie Anderson, Houston Thomas at tight ends.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Tyree Adams is listed as a starting left tackle. Blake Ivey,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Tyler Thomas at guard, Mark Naboo, of course, at center.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Cohen Echols is listed as the backup center, but also
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: a backup right guard behind Trevon Baugh. And then, of course,
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: Wilcom Formby at tackle. So that's the depth chart, along
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: with Reed Owens, Mario Craver, Isaiah Horton, Ashton Bethel-Roman. And
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: then returns Mario Craver, Terry Bussey, Isaiah Horton. all mentioned
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: as punt returners, and then Bussey and Ashton Bethel-Roman as
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: kick returners. Okay. So that's what we got there. Let
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: me look at the ESPN crew that's going to be here.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: See if I've got that written down somewhere. I don't
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: know if I've got that written down. Let me double
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: check on that. Oh, yeah, I do. Lowell Galindo, Kirk Morrison,
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: and Don Davenport. I don't know Don Davenport or Kirk Morrison.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: I know Lowell Galindo because he worked for the Longhorn
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Network before they went out of business with the SEC.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: But it has maintained play-by-play duties with ESPN. I will
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: have all of the games listed. I haven't printed all
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: that out yet. But I know we start on Thursday evening.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I know we've got Friday evening games. Obviously, all day Saturday,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: we've got Sunday game, and we have a Monday night game.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: And that Monday night game is SMU Florida State, I think.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: I put that on our Friday's Fairless. Is that Monday night, Stan?
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's Monday night before State.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought so. So that means I won't award
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: your weekly prize until Tuesday for those of you who
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: are playing The Feud. Okay. Labor Day weekend is usually
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: a pretty good weekend for For football, there aren't tons
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: of great games. I mean, LSU-Clemson, Louisville-Ole Miss, SMU-Florida State,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: in my mind, are probably the three best games involving
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: top 25 teams. I think those are probably the games
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: that we focused in on. There weren't a lot of
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: great games this weekend. There was, you know, there was
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: our share of ugly football this weekend. And I saw
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: where it, they had a graphic on the TCU game
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: in Dublin. It rains 200 and, let's see, 265 days
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: a year in Dublin. So two-thirds, almost two-thirds of the game,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: two out of every three days it's raining in Dublin.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Second year in a row they played in the rain,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: and the second year in a row the game hasn't
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: been real entertaining, let's put it that way. But it
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: may have to do with the teams. Last year was
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Iowa State and Kansas State. Those were two bad teams.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: This year is TCU and North Carolina, and I think
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: probably still two bad teams. Oliver Brothers has been part
