- 1:07Speaker 1: you text the word texas. Need to put that on
- 1:09Speaker 1: the front so it won't get sent off to an

- 1:22Speaker 1: We have a talkback microphone which has been very busy
- 1:25Speaker 1: over the past week to ten days, and it's going
- 1:27Speaker 1: to be busy again today because we use that line
- 1:30Speaker 1: also for our contesting, and it's not something that you

- 2:33Speaker 1: and what we've been doing with the contest when it
- 2:35Speaker 1: all last week, we're doing it all this week, and
- 2:38Speaker 1: we're gonna do it all next week, is to give
- 2:40Speaker 1: away copies of the brand new Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine.
- 2:44Speaker 1: And we do it through a variety of ways. We
- 2:47Speaker 1: do it both in terms of knowing the answer to
- 2:53Speaker 1: a question, a trivia question about long worn football. It
- 2:56Speaker 1: may not be too difficult. And then we do some
- 2:59Speaker 1: random where just the number seven person to reach us
- 3:04Speaker 1: on the talkback line. It's a random thing done and
- 3:07Speaker 1: you could win that way as well. So we'll give
- 3:09Speaker 1: away one copy of the magazine each hour. We're doing
- 3:12Speaker 1: it for three straight weeks, so it's fifteen copies a week,
- 3:16Speaker 1: so we're doing it for all of last week, all
- 3:20Speaker 1: of this week, and all of next week. Also, what
- 3:24Speaker 1: we've been doing last week, this week and next week
- 3:27Speaker 1: our SEC football previews. We look at a different school
- 3:31Speaker 1: in the Southeastern Conference every day and we visit with
- 3:33Speaker 1: their play by playvoice. So we're all the play by
- 3:36Speaker 1: play brethren I have in this conference are joining us
- 3:39Speaker 1: to do these previews. Today, we take a look at
- 3:42Speaker 1: the Missouri Tigers and Mike Kelly, whom I've known for
- 3:45Speaker 1: a long time, going all the way back to our
- 3:47Speaker 1: days in the Big Twelve together. Mike will join us
- 3:50Speaker 1: coming up here in a few minutes to talk about

- 5:14Speaker 1: In the four o'clock hour, we talk baseball. Geene Watson,
- 5:18Speaker 1: our MLB insider director of personnel for the Chicago White
- 5:22Speaker 1: Sox Joines say is I think Gina will be on
- 5:24Speaker 1: the road en route to Dyersville, Iowa. Now that town
- 5:32Speaker 1: name may or may not hold any meaning for you,
- 5:34Speaker 1: but you know this much field of dreams, that's where
- 5:37Speaker 1: the field of dreams are. You know, the cornfield of
- 5:39Speaker 1: baseball fielders will be baseball there going on. And Gino
- 5:41Speaker 1: is actually, I think coaching in a high school All
- 5:44Speaker 1: American type game, so we'll get his thoughts on that.
- 5:47Speaker 1: But we'll obviously we talk baseball with Geene Watson. That's
- 5:50Speaker 1: coming up in the four o'clock hour. So, like I said,
- 5:53Speaker 1: there's a lot on tap today and so we look
- 5:56Speaker 1: forward to bringing you all of that. As I mentioned,
- 6:00Speaker 1: the producer is Jay Carmon. You did say that you
- 6:04Speaker 1: saw the first episode of the brand new season season
- 6:08Speaker 1: four Ted Lasso.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Last night I did, and well, am I going to
- 6:12Speaker 2: spoil it for folks that haven't gone and checked it
- 6:14Speaker 2: out yet. I'm a little surprised, Craig that they didn't
- 6:17Speaker 2: just end the show right when we all thought they
- 6:19Speaker 2: had wrapped that up a couple of years ago with
- 6:22Speaker 2: it so when you went back to the US. But yeah, well, okay,
- 6:27Speaker 2: that's that. You're right, that happens at the end of
- 6:28Speaker 2: the original show. I was trying to run under wraps.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Well, not the original show. My god, they've had several
- 6:33Speaker 1: years to see it. If they hadn't seen it by now,
- 6:35Speaker 1: can't help them, you know. So I'm not giving away
- 6:40Speaker 1: anything with the new season. I just said, you know,
- 6:42Speaker 1: at the end of the original thing, you know, for
- 6:45Speaker 1: those who hadn't seen it, watch it. That's not going
- 6:48Speaker 1: to spoil it for you that much. So watch it
- 6:51Speaker 1: for that and then the new season starts. So you
- 6:53Speaker 1: watched you, did you? Without giving away any details? Did
- 6:56Speaker 1: you like the episode?
- 6:58Speaker 3: Didn't love it? Something was missing?
- 7:01Speaker 1: Okay, you're the first person I've come across that didn't
- 7:03Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, that's because you're too hung up on
- 7:06Speaker 1: the way it ended the last one. So what did
- 7:10Speaker 1: you think with the knowing what you know now about
- 7:13Speaker 1: the way that the fourth season ended or third season ended,
- 7:19Speaker 1: knowing what you know now, were you bothered by it
- 7:22Speaker 1: going in going wait a minute, wait a minute. I
- 7:24Speaker 1: thought everything was tied up and a neat little bow
- 7:27Speaker 1: and it was all done, And so that bothered you
- 7:29Speaker 1: as you watched the season premiere of the new season
- 7:35Speaker 1: season four.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Part of it is exactly what you said, Okay. Another
- 7:39Speaker 2: part of it is my gripes with the choices they
- 7:42Speaker 2: made towards the end of season three, And I felt
- 7:45Speaker 2: as though this episode of television from last week kind
- 7:49Speaker 2: of admitted that they made a couple of mistakes, you know.
- 7:55Speaker 2: So I'm like both vindicated and annoyed the same time.
- 8:00Speaker 3: But I'm gonna give it a chance.
- 8:02Speaker 1: It's a brand new world now for him and for
- 8:06Speaker 1: the rest of that group.
- 8:07Speaker 3: I'm trying not to be cynical and just think of
- 8:10Speaker 3: this as.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Sounds like sounds like you're being a little least coast cynical,
- 8:13Speaker 1: a little East coast, major market Megalopoli cynical here.
- 8:17Speaker 2: But is that not offset Craig by my love for
- 8:20Speaker 2: ted Lasso as a show.
- 8:21Speaker 3: I mean, that's the least cynical show out there.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Okay, So with that being the case, I would think
- 8:26Speaker 1: you would be welcoming an opportunity to revisit the characters
- 8:31Speaker 1: and the storyline, even though it's a different, different storyline now,
- 8:36Speaker 1: which it had to be based on what you were
- 8:37Speaker 1: talking about about the way Season three ended, So.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Better or for worse, I'm in Okay, we'll see how
- 8:43Speaker 2: long it lasts.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, very good, very good. All right.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna visit with Mike Kelly, played by
- 8:51Speaker 1: play voice of the Missouri Tigers, and like I said,
- 8:53Speaker 1: we'll take your thoughts and questions as well. On our
- 8:57Speaker 1: text line, we'll give away a copy of Dave Campbell's
- 8:59Speaker 1: text Football Magazine. This hour, we got a lot to
- 9:02Speaker 1: get to. Glad to have you with us. It's a
- 9:03Speaker 1: Tuesday afternoon here on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the
- 9:06Speaker 1: Zone and the iHeartRadio app.
- 9:13Speaker 2: I'm looking Boom My Baby, and No Wonder.
- 9:21Speaker 1: It's a Tuesday, a Texan Tuesday here on Sports Radio
- 9:25Speaker 1: AM thirteen under the Zone. The producer Jay Herman is
- 9:30Speaker 1: dedicated to the proposition that the return cuts in today's
- 9:36Speaker 1: program and every Tuesday, are not limited to but are
- 9:41Speaker 1: required to include a return cut from the King George
- 9:45Speaker 1: Straight in the four o'clock hour, in the three o'clock
- 9:48Speaker 1: hour from the iconic Willie Nelson, and here in the
- 9:51Speaker 1: two o'clock hour the immortal Stevie ray Vaughan. Just the
- 9:56Speaker 1: sky's crying? Is it raining outside? No?
- 9:59Speaker 2: Just when we I haven't come back with yet in
- 10:01Speaker 2: my coming up on one year here this is a
- 10:03Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five version.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Yep, the late great Stevie Raybon. We continue our SEC
- 10:11Speaker 1: football previews. One of the benefits I've always said is
- 10:15Speaker 1: of broadcasting the team's games play by play is getting
- 10:21Speaker 1: an opportunity to visit with and getting to know and
- 10:23Speaker 1: becoming friends with in some cases some of the other
- 10:26Speaker 1: play by play. This goes all the way back to
- 10:27Speaker 1: when I was on the broadcasting for North Texas back
- 10:30Speaker 1: in the eighties and that sort of thing, and when
- 10:32Speaker 1: I first started working in the Texas broadcast with Bill
- 10:34Speaker 1: Shooning in the nineties and then moving into the play
- 10:36Speaker 1: by play chair in the one to two Athletics season.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Prior to that, however, I've gotten a chance to me
- 10:43Speaker 1: get to know and then they call him a friend.
- 10:46Speaker 1: The longtime play by play voice and the Missouri Tigers.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Who joins us now from Columbia, the one and only
- 10:52Speaker 1: Mike Kelly Michael, how are you well?
- 10:55Speaker 4: I'm much better after hearing the late great Stevie ray Vaughn.
- 11:00Speaker 4: I mean, I was grooving, so Jake, you nailed it,
- 11:05Speaker 4: my friend. And in fact, let's do the listeners even
- 11:09Speaker 4: more of a pleasure on this Tuesday. I'll shut up
- 11:12Speaker 4: and let's go back to still.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Hey, we could either do that or or And this
- 11:17Speaker 1: is how I was going to lead off. For folks
- 11:19Speaker 1: who don't know. Uh, Missouri is going to open its
- 11:22Speaker 1: football season on September third, Thursday night game against Arkansas
- 11:25Speaker 1: Pine Bluff. And if you're going to the game in Columbia,
- 11:30Speaker 1: you're in for a treat because if you go to
- 11:32Speaker 1: Mutiger's dot on their website, you will see the one
- 11:35Speaker 1: and only Cheryl Crow Miszoo to perform the national anthem there.
- 11:42Speaker 1: And I'm guessing Mike is probably not the first time
- 11:46Speaker 1: that Cheryl's done it, and I know she's a very
- 11:48Speaker 1: proud Missou will love, but to have her lead off
- 11:51Speaker 1: the season with the anthem's pretty cool.
- 11:53Speaker 3: Yeah it is she?
- 11:54Speaker 4: Uh, I don't know that that she's done that, She's
- 11:59Speaker 4: done events. When we opened Missouri Arena, she did an event,
- 12:05Speaker 4: a little small concert for a group of a group
- 12:08Speaker 4: of donors some twenty years ago. When Massoo played at
- 12:14Speaker 4: Vandy last year, she was. She was there and on
- 12:16Speaker 4: the field, and uh, you know, I had a chance to,
- 12:20Speaker 4: uh to say hi to her. She was, she was
- 12:21Speaker 4: in the Athletic Director's booth which is next to the
- 12:24Speaker 4: visiting radio booth in Nashville. So, uh, you know, she's
- 12:29Speaker 4: made her way back to Columbia, you know, on multiple occasions.
- 12:32Speaker 4: And so yeah, I just I just got word of
- 12:35Speaker 4: that the other day, or actually earlier today when I
- 12:37Speaker 4: saw the saw the release.
- 12:39Speaker 1: That'll be that.
- 12:40Speaker 3: That'll be very neat to hear her do that.
- 12:42Speaker 1: And then it'll lead off into the season where the
- 12:45Speaker 1: Tigers are coming off an eight and five season a
- 12:47Speaker 1: year ago and getting to the Gator Bowl. What's with
- 12:51Speaker 1: with what Eli Drinkwitz has coming out And by the way,
- 12:56Speaker 1: just looking at that, thinking about it his seventh year
- 12:59Speaker 1: as the head coach, time does fly with with what
- 13:04Speaker 1: he has coming back, especially in the offensive side of
- 13:06Speaker 1: the football, I would imagine there's a great deal of
- 13:08Speaker 1: optimism about what's to come this season. Yeah, I think
- 13:11Speaker 1: there's optimism.
- 13:11Speaker 4: Obviously, the there's an upgrade in the schedule, you know it. Uh,
- 13:16Speaker 4: you know, Texas comes to Columbia, Missouri goes to Georgia,
- 13:19Speaker 4: has to go to Old miss you know.
- 13:22Speaker 1: So there's those are.
- 13:24Speaker 4: Some of the things that you know, you think about
- 13:26Speaker 4: as well as that the schedule is is much more difficult,
- 13:31Speaker 4: you know. But but yeah, there there, there's there's optimism.
- 13:34Speaker 4: But Craig, come on, man, we've been we've been doing
- 13:36Speaker 4: this a long time, my friend, and we all know
- 13:38Speaker 4: this that during this the you know, people call it
- 13:41Speaker 4: the talking season. I call it the Lions the Lion season,
- 13:45Speaker 4: because you know, every coach loves their team, every coach
- 13:48Speaker 4: loves their staff, every coach loves their a d. Every
- 13:51Speaker 4: fan base loves their team. It's like, you know, it's
- 13:54Speaker 4: the anticipation of this event that's going to arrive in
- 13:57Speaker 4: late August and earlier September, and that's the start of
- 14:00Speaker 4: the season that we all love so much.
- 14:02Speaker 1: You know, you have a unique schedule. And here's what
- 14:07Speaker 1: I mean by that. When I have visited and we
- 14:09Speaker 1: started this last week visiting with every play by play
- 14:11Speaker 1: voice around the Southeastern Conference continuing this week and then
- 14:14Speaker 1: through next week, where we'll hear from everybody. But in
- 14:17Speaker 1: the case of some of the guys, Kentucky comes to mind,
- 14:22Speaker 1: Florida comes to mine. There's a couple in this new
- 14:25Speaker 1: world that we have of nine conference games. Even with
- 14:30Speaker 1: nine conference games, usually the three week ramp up would
- 14:35Speaker 1: probably work out pretty well. Now you may have a
- 14:36Speaker 1: tough non conference game. Obviously Texas has Ohio was taken
- 14:39Speaker 1: in here second week of the year. But in several
- 14:42Speaker 1: cases they have the three weeks. But there are some
- 14:45Speaker 1: cases Florida comes to mine, Kentucky comes to mine. As
- 14:48Speaker 1: I mentioned, Georgia comes to mind, where they only have
- 14:51Speaker 1: the two non conference because they have a traditional rival
- 14:55Speaker 1: on the tail end of the regular season. In the
- 14:57Speaker 1: case of the Tigers, it's interesting you've got three non
- 15:02Speaker 1: conference games, and yet the middle one of those is
- 15:05Speaker 1: that border war that had gotten ramped up again with
- 15:08Speaker 1: the with the game of Kansas. So I guess that
- 15:10Speaker 1: kind of adds to the flavor of it.
- 15:13Speaker 4: Well, it does, and it will be a game that
- 15:15Speaker 4: obviously you know, Kansas has circled on its calendar because
- 15:18Speaker 4: it's the first time Missouri has played in Lawrence since
- 15:22Speaker 4: since leaving you know, the Big Twelve Conference, and if
- 15:25Speaker 4: you remember prior to leaving the Big Twelve when the
- 15:27Speaker 4: Zoo played KU, it was always a neutral side game.
- 15:30Speaker 4: But I think maybe the last eight ten years at
- 15:33Speaker 4: Arrowhead Stadium, so Missou and football has not been back
- 15:37Speaker 4: to Lawrence in quite a while. It's a game that
- 15:39Speaker 4: a year ago Missouri fell behind early by fourteen and
- 15:42Speaker 4: came back and won the game. So that's that's a
- 15:45Speaker 4: trip on a Friday night opening you know their new
- 15:49Speaker 4: stadium as well, that that'll be a that'll be an
- 15:54Speaker 4: interesting mission for Missouri that night in Lawrence, Kansas.
- 15:58Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Let me get your thoughts. We're
- 15:59Speaker 1: visiting with Mike Kelly, Mazoo Tiger's played by playvoice. Uh,
- 16:02Speaker 1: let me get your thoughts.
- 16:04Speaker 4: Uh.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Let's start with the offense. And I know a lot
- 16:06Speaker 1: of people and in these conversations quite frequently I've started
- 16:10Speaker 1: with the quarterback. I'll get to the quarterback in a minute.
- 16:12Speaker 1: But when you have arguably the best running back in
- 16:16Speaker 1: the SEC are right there amongst them, and one of
- 16:19Speaker 1: the best in the country in Amad Hardy, who I
- 16:22Speaker 1: saw when he was playing for ul Monroe when they
- 16:24Speaker 1: came in a couple of years ago in Austin. He's
- 16:27Speaker 1: a guy that can be pretty special and can really
- 16:29Speaker 1: transform an offense, isn't he He is.
- 16:35Speaker 4: The caveat being we don't know when he's going to play.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Yep, you know he was.
- 16:40Speaker 4: He was shot in May, in mid May and has
- 16:45Speaker 4: gone through a lengthy process to try and to to
- 16:49Speaker 4: to get healthy and and get back into football shape.
- 16:53Speaker 4: We're seven days into practice, or actually seven practices in
- 16:57Speaker 4: and he's yet to appear. And so, you know, the
- 17:01Speaker 4: ward has gone from midway in the summer. It's too
- 17:03Speaker 4: early to tell to you know, he will play at
- 17:07Speaker 4: some point during the season, or he will be regularly
- 17:10Speaker 4: ready to play at some point in the season. He is,
- 17:14Speaker 4: he has yet to appear in practice at this point
- 17:16Speaker 4: in time, and so and again that's that's no surprise.
- 17:20Speaker 4: He led drink. What's indicated in his preseason meeting with
- 17:23Speaker 4: the media that Hardy would not participate in at least
- 17:27Speaker 4: the first week of camp. The good news is that
- 17:31Speaker 4: you have Jamal Roberts, who I contend would start on
- 17:34Speaker 4: most teams in our league. Jamal Roberts returns a young
- 17:38Speaker 4: man from Saint Louis. They were able to go into
- 17:40Speaker 4: the into the portal and get a young man from
- 17:43Speaker 4: Houston Christian who ran for sixteen hundred yards a year ago,
- 17:45Speaker 4: and Zichean Edwards and then Malaya Fonote also was a
- 17:53Speaker 4: guy that they were able to pick up out of
- 17:55Speaker 4: the out of the portal as well, And so they
- 17:58Speaker 4: feel good about depth right now, even with with with Hardy,
- 18:04Speaker 4: you know, not practicing at this point in time. And
- 18:06Speaker 4: so you know, I've tried to tell people, Craig from
- 18:10Speaker 4: from my point of view is, you know, we all
- 18:12Speaker 4: get caught up in the transactional part of the relationship.
- 18:15Speaker 4: When's he gonna play, when's he gonna play, Let's getting healthy,
- 18:19Speaker 4: and you know I worry about the life and life
- 18:21Speaker 4: after football part of it. And let's make sure he's
- 18:24Speaker 4: at one hundred percent when when it's time for him
- 18:27Speaker 4: to to restart his pursuit of what certainly most people
- 18:32Speaker 4: anticipate being a professional career in football.
- 18:35Speaker 1: No doubt about it. And you followed dovetailed exactly to
- 18:38Speaker 1: where I was going to go next, and that was
- 18:40Speaker 1: to ask you about Jamal Roberts, because not knowing the
- 18:44Speaker 1: unknown thing with Hardy. What are the things about Roberts,
- 18:48Speaker 1: Like you said, he could probably start on most other teams,
- 18:51Speaker 1: And it looks like, depending on how things go with
- 18:53Speaker 1: Hardy and the continued work towards starting the season, that
- 18:57Speaker 1: Roberts at least will get the lion's share or a
- 19:00Speaker 1: good chunk of carries even when Hardy comes back, because
- 19:05Speaker 1: and they know it no better than right here in Austin,
- 19:07Speaker 1: it helps to have more than one healthy running back.
- 19:09Speaker 1: So to have Roberts there, it's not a big step down,
- 19:13Speaker 1: is it. It's not a big step down, is it.
- 19:16Speaker 3: No, it's not.
- 19:17Speaker 4: You know, he you know you were mentioning in the
- 19:19Speaker 4: Kansas gaming one hundred and forty three yards against Kansas
- 19:22Speaker 4: on thirteen carries a year ago in Missouri's comeback win,
- 19:27Speaker 4: you know, had seventy five yards on the road again,
- 19:29Speaker 4: or on the road against South Carolina, and so all right,
- 19:33Speaker 4: shut home against South Carolina. In a schedule from year
- 19:35Speaker 4: to years, sometimes it's confusing. But here's again that was
- 19:39Speaker 4: primarily early in his career a third down back and
- 19:42Speaker 4: now has progressed into a guy that can can be
- 19:46Speaker 4: an important part of the offense. You know, your best
- 19:48Speaker 4: pass catching threat as a running back. There are some
- 19:52Speaker 4: scouts that think that he's a better pro prospect then
- 19:57Speaker 4: Amott Hardy just because of his ability to not only
- 20:01Speaker 4: catch the football but do things after catching the football.
- 20:04Speaker 4: So guy that can run the outside zone, which you know,
- 20:06Speaker 4: as you know, and Eli Drinkwoitz's offense now with Chip
- 20:09Speaker 4: Lindsay as the offensive coordinator of the Missouri likes to do,
- 20:13Speaker 4: you know, and as a guy that is certainly I
- 20:16Speaker 4: think capable of tough inside yardage as well as evidenced
- 20:20Speaker 4: by the fact scored the game winner against aubign a
- 20:23Speaker 4: year ago on a little four yard run.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Let me jump the quarterback. Folks got to know Austin
- 20:28Speaker 1: Simmons when he was an old miss rebel a year
- 20:30Speaker 1: ago before getting banged up and then Trinidad Jamblers took
- 20:33Speaker 1: over the rains and hasn't looked back after that. But
- 20:36Speaker 1: he's viewed as being a quality guy. He was a
- 20:38Speaker 1: starter in the SEC before the injury. How about your
- 20:41Speaker 1: thoughts on Simmons and is he the guy right now
- 20:45Speaker 1: at transferring in as the number one quarterback from Zoom.
- 20:48Speaker 4: He was named as the starting quarterback during spring play
- 20:52Speaker 4: by Eli Drinkwitz in a competition that lasted a few
- 20:56Speaker 4: weeks during spring ball between he and Matt Zalers, who's
- 21:00Speaker 4: dollars as a freshman, you know, was forced into action
- 21:03Speaker 4: with the injury to vote rebuild the last year in
- 21:07Speaker 4: the game at Vanderbilt. But the thing you notice about
- 21:10Speaker 4: Austin Simmons, first of all, the left handed quarterback can
- 21:14Speaker 4: spend it. You know, the ball comes out differently than
- 21:16Speaker 4: it does for most guys that that we've seen here
- 21:19Speaker 4: over the last several years of Missouri has the ability
- 21:22Speaker 4: to throw the ball downfield with accuracy, you know. And
- 21:27Speaker 4: I think we'll give Missouri the ability to do something
- 21:29Speaker 4: they haven't done in the last couple of years in
- 21:31Speaker 4: this offense, and that is more seam patterns, try to
- 21:35Speaker 4: take the top off the defense with you know, stretching
- 21:38Speaker 4: the field on vertical routes and things like that.
- 21:41Speaker 5: Here.
- 21:41Speaker 4: Here's the thing though, that that that I look at
- 21:45Speaker 4: there are going to be growing pains. And why do
- 21:47Speaker 4: I say that Because he's only throwing one hundred and
- 21:50Speaker 4: seven passes in his career, So that tells you that
- 21:55Speaker 4: they're going to be growing pains along the way. He's
- 21:57Speaker 4: going to see things as the starting quarterback of Missouri
- 22:02Speaker 4: this year, particularly in those nine SEC games that he's
- 22:04Speaker 4: probably never seen before even his time during his time
- 22:07Speaker 4: into at Ole miss And so how does it react,
- 22:11Speaker 4: you know, as they say, when the when the live
- 22:13Speaker 4: bullets are flying. I think the good news is again
- 22:16Speaker 4: going back to the running backs he's got. Missouri hopes
- 22:18Speaker 4: it's got the ability to run the football to be
- 22:20Speaker 4: able to take some pressure off the quarterback. And the
- 22:23Speaker 4: one thing Craig, in watching the first seven practices I
- 22:27Speaker 4: will say is that Missouri has upgraded in terms of
- 22:30Speaker 4: its its depth and talent and wide receiver and so
- 22:34Speaker 4: that should help along with a corps of tight ends
- 22:37Speaker 4: that returns with guys like Brett Norfleek, Geordan Harris, and
- 22:42Speaker 4: jud James who have all been in the program for
- 22:44Speaker 4: the last several years.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Well, I was I'm glad you answered that question. I
- 22:48Speaker 1: was going to that and then I'm just going to
- 22:49Speaker 1: get to the offensive line, because even though Missouri's lost
- 22:52Speaker 1: two or three guys as starters on the offensive front
- 22:55Speaker 1: past couple of years, you've got some core guys back
- 22:59Speaker 1: and the I think has helped you out it in
- 23:01Speaker 1: terms of replenishing the numbers and the depth.
- 23:04Speaker 4: Yeah, it has, you know, if you look at the
- 23:07Speaker 4: makeup the returning guys, Caden Green returns at left tackle.
- 23:12Speaker 4: Dom Judicia transfer from Michigan a year ago. He'll move
- 23:16Speaker 4: from left guard to center, so he'll become Missouri's starting center,
- 23:21Speaker 4: replacing Connor Thomas and who graduated.
- 23:25Speaker 1: So then it's you.
- 23:26Speaker 4: Know, Curtis Pigler returns the right guard, so who moves
- 23:29Speaker 4: into the left guard position In the right tackle position,
- 23:32Speaker 4: Tristan Wilson is a kid from Lebanon, Missouri, about two
- 23:36Speaker 4: two and a half hours away from the Columbia campus.
- 23:38Speaker 4: It's been in the program for three years. He'll be
- 23:41Speaker 4: the guy that's going to start at left guard. Also
- 23:43Speaker 4: probably your number two center if anything happens to Judea
- 23:48Speaker 4: and then a transfer from Mississippi State and Luke Wark
- 23:51Speaker 4: has been the guy who's been operating as the starting
- 23:55Speaker 4: right tackle so far through camp. You know, they added
- 23:59Speaker 4: another transfer from Mississippi State and Zach Owens, who provides
- 24:03Speaker 4: you know, some depth on that offensive line. The guy
- 24:06Speaker 4: they had hoped to be the starter at right tackle
- 24:09Speaker 4: is a transfer from Arizona State and Josh Atkins, but
- 24:13Speaker 4: he suffered a knee injury in the spring, reinjured that
- 24:16Speaker 4: knee during the course of the summer, and you know,
- 24:19Speaker 4: I'm not sure if he'll get to play it.
- 24:21Speaker 1: All this season. Visiting with Mike Kelly voice on the
- 24:24Speaker 1: Missouri Tigers here for a couple more minutes. Let me
- 24:25Speaker 1: jump to the defense. Is it fair to say or
- 24:29Speaker 1: is this kind of being overlooked by folks who look
- 24:32Speaker 1: at things like returning numbers and key playmakers and say,
- 24:36Speaker 1: if the biggest question mark from a zoom might be
- 24:40Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the football, is that a
- 24:42Speaker 1: fair assessment or is this being overlooked the guys that
- 24:46Speaker 1: are there and the guys who have come in to
- 24:48Speaker 1: replenish on the defensive side of the ball.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Well, I think it's.
- 24:56Speaker 1: Did you say it? Yeah? I'm sorry I lost it
- 24:58Speaker 1: there for a second there, Mike, Did you say yeah?
- 25:01Speaker 4: No, it's fair because you have to replace eleven starters
- 25:04Speaker 4: and so you've got again guys that have been in
- 25:06Speaker 4: the program, a guy like a Marquise Grasil or a
- 25:11Speaker 4: Jalen Marshall, you know, two interior tackles who have been
- 25:14Speaker 4: in the program for for or four years. You know,
- 25:19Speaker 4: part of what made Gary Pinkel successful at Missouri is
- 25:22Speaker 4: that those guys that had been in the program for
- 25:24Speaker 4: a while, when they finally got their opportunity, they played
- 25:26Speaker 4: the best football of their life. And so can guys
- 25:30Speaker 4: like Garcial and Marshall do that? On the edge, Langdon
- 25:34Speaker 4: Kitchen is a kid that came in from Northwest Missouri
- 25:36Speaker 4: a year ago. He'll play at one of those defensive
- 25:39Speaker 4: end positions, replacing Zion Young who's now in the NFL.
- 25:43Speaker 4: Dearis Smith is a kid who transferred from Georgia a
- 25:46Speaker 4: few years ago and edge rusher on the joker side
- 25:49Speaker 4: of the defensive line. Dearris is a guy that a
- 25:52Speaker 4: year ago played at about probably two hundred and thirty
- 25:55Speaker 4: two hundred and thirty five pounds, and now he's two
- 25:57Speaker 4: sixty five and has been able to make maintain his
- 26:00Speaker 4: speed and quickness despite putting on an extra thirty pounds
- 26:03Speaker 4: and so again, a lack of productivity and experience up front,
- 26:09Speaker 4: But can those guys produce and have the best years
- 26:13Speaker 4: of their college careers? At linebacker, Nik Rodriguez returns He
- 26:18Speaker 4: started a majority of the games a year ago. Young
- 26:20Speaker 4: man out of Miami, Florida. Jeremiah Beasley is the guy
- 26:23Speaker 4: that played a number of snaps last year as another
- 26:26Speaker 4: inside linebacker, but again stepping in replacing the Jeremiah Trotter
- 26:29Speaker 4: who's now in the NFL. Nick Deluche the only returning
- 26:34Speaker 4: starter in the secondary at cornerback. But Missouri has been able,
- 26:37Speaker 4: I think to add some guys. Si La from the
- 26:42Speaker 4: University of Oregon is a guy, a big, rangy cornerback
- 26:45Speaker 4: at six'. Four Jalio florence is another kid that they
- 26:48Speaker 4: brought in that again a little bit of. Experience Chris
- 26:53Speaker 4: graves From ole miss has come in and secured i
- 26:56Speaker 4: think one of the starting positions at cornerback as. Well
- 26:59Speaker 4: then in the back In Trajan greco as a kid
- 27:02Speaker 4: that's been in the program for a few. Years Santana
- 27:05Speaker 4: banners is a returning.
- 27:06Speaker 6: Guy you, know those.
- 27:08Speaker 4: Two guys have solidified themselves as, starters but they've been
- 27:11Speaker 4: able to bring in depth from Jay Don blair is
- 27:14Speaker 4: a kid From Notre dame that you, know at six,' four,
- 27:16Speaker 4: you know looks the part of a of an sec
- 27:19Speaker 4: safety and so, you know it's a DEFENSE that i
- 27:22Speaker 4: think along the way has got, to improve right as
- 27:25Speaker 4: the as you hope that your defense and your entire. Team.
- 27:28Speaker 4: Will uh they've got some guys that they brought in
- 27:31Speaker 4: in the PORTAL that i think will help as they
- 27:34Speaker 4: continue to get more comfortable in. The program and Like
- 27:36Speaker 4: A malik bryant who came In from Miami And DeMarcus
- 27:40Speaker 4: johnson Who's a, Miami transfer and so, you know that's
- 27:45Speaker 4: that's what you gotta hope is the guys that have
- 27:46Speaker 4: been in the program play their best football ever and
- 27:49Speaker 4: guys that are newcomers can can play at. A level
- 27:52Speaker 4: is that that you hope they would when you get
- 27:55Speaker 4: them out of.
- 27:55Speaker 1: The Portal He's mike kelly play by play voice And

- 36:25Speaker 7: on in? Game time are guys going to be consistent
- 36:28Speaker 7: and they're going to take the same approach they've been
- 36:30Speaker 7: taking over the past several weeks of how we've been prepping,
- 36:33Speaker 7: the guys how they've been. Working right can they go
- 36:35Speaker 7: out and perform that under the lights under a little bit?
- 36:39Speaker 7: More stress? You know how do guys operate at a?
- 36:41Speaker 7: High level That's what i'm, looking for.
- 36:43Speaker 1: All right it's no secret That the texans defense really
- 36:46Speaker 1: has been the calling card, for them and that makes
- 36:49Speaker 1: it more CHALLENGING. On cj stroud And that. Texans offense
- 36:52Speaker 1: so How is stroud dealing with all that defensive pressure
- 36:55Speaker 1: on the.
- 36:55Speaker 7: Practice field the defense is making it very tough on,
- 36:59Speaker 7: us offensively and.
- 37:00Speaker 6: We, know that you know.
- 37:01Speaker 7: We're there our offense is up against the challenge every
- 37:04Speaker 7: single day Going Against will daniel On, THE edges, i,
- 37:07Speaker 7: THOUGHT see I think cj has grown from the aspect
- 37:10Speaker 7: of being, able to, you know really maneuver in, the
- 37:13Speaker 7: pocket and not, just maneuvering but it's keeping two hands on.
- 37:17Speaker 7: The football they's securing, the football it's stepping up in.
- 37:19Speaker 7: The pocket it's still keeping his, eyes down, feel right
- 37:22Speaker 7: making the, proper reads still throwing Strikes like that's what's impressive.
- 37:25Speaker 7: About him he's he's not getting flustered if things. Break
- 37:28Speaker 7: down he's still able to maneuver and make those plays
- 37:31Speaker 7: on the RUN that i talked about a couple of.

- 40:54Speaker 1: MIGHT have i might add off, of that off the
- 40:56Speaker 1: magazine and uh and what this the most commonly asked
- 41:02Speaker 1: question you get annually about? The magazine and is there
- 41:05Speaker 1: in does that include this year or are there's some
- 41:09Speaker 1: things about this year's magazine that you've been asked that might?
- 41:12Speaker 3: Be, Unique yeah so the QUESTION that i get asked
- 41:17Speaker 3: the most every year is how in the heck do
- 41:20Speaker 3: you guys? Do, this like how the heck do you
- 41:22Speaker 3: gather all of the information that goes into it with
- 41:25Speaker 3: fifteen hundred high schools and, you know, you know fifty
- 41:30Speaker 3: college football programs and stuff. Like that that's, the one
- 41:33Speaker 3: and that's when we go through and we talk a
- 41:34Speaker 3: little bit about the just the process of the questionnaire
- 41:38Speaker 3: and getting in the our relationship with coaches and stuff.
- 41:40Speaker 3: Like that the One that i've gotten the most this
- 41:43Speaker 3: year was about our cover and specifically about who isn't
- 41:47Speaker 3: on our Cover With brennan sorosby as opposed to It
- 41:51Speaker 3: To ben roberts and did where are we going To
- 41:54Speaker 3: Do Brendan sorosby, and yes, you know we pivoted and stuff.
- 41:57Speaker 3: Like that so that's been the THING that i. Have
- 41:59Speaker 3: done the most talk about in the lead up to
- 42:01Speaker 3: football season Has been so you did a photo Shoot
- 42:04Speaker 3: with britain's. SOURCE behind i, was, like, yeah yeah.
- 42:07Speaker 1: That's been the topic of the compensation and we unearthed
- 42:09Speaker 1: that tidbit a couple of weeks ago talking about the.
- 42:12Speaker 1: Backup play it always important to have a, backup plan no. Question,
- 42:16Speaker 1: about okay along the lines of what you just talked
- 42:20Speaker 1: about about compiling. The information and for folks who want
- 42:23Speaker 1: to copy, the MAGAZINE like, i said we gave away
- 42:25Speaker 1: a Copy Of, Last hour we're gonna give away a
- 42:27Speaker 1: Copy Of. This hour we're gonna give away a Copy Of.
- 42:28Speaker 1: Next hour the great FOLKS at dctf give us some
- 42:31Speaker 1: promotional copies to give away. Every year we did it all,
- 42:34Speaker 1: Last week we're doing it all, This week we're doing
- 42:37Speaker 1: it all. Next week one copy per hour on, the
- 42:39Speaker 1: show three, per day fifteen. Per week we're doing it
- 42:43Speaker 1: all the way up through the end of. Next week
- 42:46Speaker 1: one of the things that goes into, the compilation like,
- 42:50Speaker 1: you said the questionnaires and the information that. You get,
- 42:55Speaker 1: how DIFFERENT and i would imagine it's going to be.
- 42:58Speaker 1: Vastly different different is the questionnaire process with the high
- 43:04Speaker 1: school coaches COMPARED to, i like, FOR example i just
- 43:07Speaker 1: happened to just open the. Magazine randomly you open the
- 43:11Speaker 1: page one thirty six and it's On The southland conference
- 43:14Speaker 1: and the Predictions WHERE. Steven f austin is predicted to
- 43:16Speaker 1: win the league and so on and. So forth how
- 43:19Speaker 1: different is the information gathering and the questionnaires and stuff
- 43:22Speaker 1: like that the, collegiate level where they have media relations
- 43:25Speaker 1: departments as opposed to, high schools most of which have
- 43:28Speaker 1: nothing of.
- 43:29Speaker 3: The, kind yeah so the. Lion's share the large majority
- 43:34Speaker 3: of stuff that we get from from from high school
- 43:37Speaker 3: ranks comes straight from the, horse's, MOUTH right i mean
- 43:40Speaker 3: where we're. Reaching out, and yes in the high, school
- 43:42Speaker 3: ranks you've got some of the bigger programs which, will, say,
- 43:46Speaker 3: hey you, you know running, Backs coach you're going to
- 43:49Speaker 3: be the one who fills out. The questionnaire it's going
- 43:51Speaker 3: to be, on you but we'll tell you what to
- 43:52Speaker 3: fill out to do the actual, fill information but for the,
- 43:55Speaker 3: most part you're getting it direct from the. Head coach
- 43:59Speaker 3: you're getting it direct from the source because we can
- 44:02Speaker 3: just pull. Them up the college side requires more of
- 44:06Speaker 3: going through the jumping, through hoops, you know especially with
- 44:10Speaker 3: Bigger programs Texas AND texas A and M, and tech
- 44:12Speaker 3: and in some of, those programs you have to do
- 44:15Speaker 3: a little bit more due diligence on the back end
- 44:18Speaker 3: to make sure that you get the access that. You
- 44:19Speaker 3: need that's not the same, as like, you know if
- 44:23Speaker 3: we Go to tarleton or we Go To harden simmons
- 44:25Speaker 3: or something, like that we can more or less pick
- 44:27Speaker 3: up the phone and then call those guys and get
- 44:29Speaker 3: pretty much anything. We need so there is. A difference
- 44:33Speaker 3: one THING that i am growing more and more appreciative
- 44:37Speaker 3: of is that there are definitely some high school football
- 44:41Speaker 3: programs across the state that are run like, college programs
- 44:44Speaker 3: and they have got information departments and they've got people
- 44:47Speaker 3: that you go through to get in touch. With people
- 44:50Speaker 3: those are still fewer as opposed to that's not happened in,
- 44:53Speaker 3: that meridian right and it's happening maybe some Of the
- 44:56Speaker 3: Big six days is where you, get that but certainly
- 44:59Speaker 3: there has been more of a structural change in some
- 45:03Speaker 3: of the ways these high school football. Programs operate and,
- 45:06Speaker 3: you know we're Happy to we're just happy to. Get
- 45:07Speaker 3: information we just want to have the. Best information whatever
- 45:09Speaker 3: hoops we got to, jump through we're willing.
- 45:12Speaker 1: To do and YOU and i both know this from
- 45:14Speaker 1: having work state, championship games and our producers for these
- 45:17Speaker 1: telecasts do a fabulous job of trying to coordinate conference
- 45:21Speaker 1: calls or video calls with these coaches to. Do it
- 45:24Speaker 1: and some it's easier to line up than others with regard.
- 45:28Speaker 1: To that but there are some programs you Point out
- 45:33Speaker 1: katie an information Factory and Fountain when john k, was
- 45:37Speaker 1: coaching and even beyond That With. Willie gaston all of
- 45:40Speaker 1: the things we've Gotten when katie has been in state
- 45:42Speaker 1: championship this goes chap this goes all the. Way back
- 45:44Speaker 1: trust me on. This one the first to really do
- 45:47Speaker 1: it on a, wholesale level a big LARGE. Was Dw
- 45:50Speaker 1: Rut Legit. Commerce judson he was the FIRST and i, was, like,
- 45:54Speaker 1: Wow here i'm getting ready to call the nineteen ninety
- 45:57Speaker 1: five state championship Game between judson And And odessa PERMIAN
- 46:01Speaker 1: and i got this whole fileist, And, meanwhile permian, You
- 46:04Speaker 1: know i'm trying to just pull the information out there
- 46:07Speaker 1: BEFORE before i. Get it but we always appreciate because
- 46:10Speaker 1: it but because. It helps and and you're probably discovering
- 46:14Speaker 1: the more you work with the. HIGH schools i know
- 46:16Speaker 1: you're you're going to be calling games FOR d C
- 46:19Speaker 1: t f on a weekly telecast, this year that that the.
- 46:23Speaker 3: Head coaches more and more are.
- 46:25Speaker 1: Getting people designated to handle that, information dispensation.
- 46:30Speaker 3: Aren't, THEY yeah i think one of the things that's
- 46:33Speaker 3: just worth mentioning, Is that and and probably the core
- 46:37Speaker 3: of all this is that there's just more interest in
- 46:39Speaker 3: high school football from a variety of different outlets now
- 46:42Speaker 3: it used, to be, you know back in in YOU.
- 46:44Speaker 3: Know dw YOU. Mentioned Dw rev lage as being well
- 46:47Speaker 3: kind of on the on the bleeding edge. Of that
- 46:50Speaker 3: certainly that, is true and part of it is because
- 46:52Speaker 3: they were really good and and and certainly at that
- 46:54Speaker 3: point everybody in the state was trying to get information,
- 46:57Speaker 3: from them so it made it more of an official
- 47:00Speaker 3: to the most number of people to kind of institutionalize
- 47:03Speaker 3: all of that that. Information gathering now there, IS similarly
- 47:09Speaker 3: i think that there is just more interest and more
- 47:11Speaker 3: media outlets trying, you know they're covering high, school football
- 47:14Speaker 3: and that one of you information and, That's great like
- 47:16Speaker 3: that's the rising tide that raises all. The boats, you
- 47:18Speaker 3: know YOU and i, have, been uh we would be
- 47:21Speaker 3: covering it if we were the only two people who were.
- 47:23Speaker 3: Covering it but but but certainly there is a lot
- 47:25Speaker 3: more people who are Interested in texas high school football
- 47:28Speaker 3: because it's showing up on. Their doorstep because there's more.
- 47:30Speaker 3: Media interests that also has more requirements for coaches to
- 47:34Speaker 3: get more information to. More people and and, SO yeah
- 47:37Speaker 3: I don't i don't begruts these coaches for making it
- 47:39Speaker 3: easier on themselves and institutionalizing it and kind of streamlining
- 47:44Speaker 3: the information process SIMPLY because i understand that they're getting
- 47:47Speaker 3: pulled in a lot of different directions, that is by,
- 47:49Speaker 3: the way outside of the actual job that they have.
- 47:52Speaker 3: To do so that's one of the Things That I'm
- 47:54Speaker 3: i'm i'm sympathetic to them and certainly understanding, that, hey
- 47:57Speaker 3: coach you need, nextra day you need, you Know you
- 47:59Speaker 3: YOU'VE got i got jump thro a couple extra hoops
- 48:01Speaker 3: to make, your job your life a little. Bit easier
- 48:02Speaker 3: That's something i'm willing.
- 48:03Speaker 1: To, Do yeah and let me also give a tip of,
- 48:06Speaker 1: the cap not only historically to the People that I'VE
- 48:09Speaker 1: that i, worked with Whether It's Fox sports Southwest or
- 48:14Speaker 1: valley's and the different names that went went through a
- 48:17Speaker 1: fan duel and then Most Recently victory plus uh that
- 48:20Speaker 1: sort of stuff with what, they've done but even what
- 48:23Speaker 1: you guys have done with The Whole texan live uh, you,
- 48:27Speaker 1: know uh the grand exposition of it all across. THE state,
- 48:32Speaker 1: I mean i'm. A Producer jay carman here has worked
- 48:35Speaker 1: uh called Games For. Taxing Live cameron park of our
- 48:38Speaker 1: staffs called games Uh For texan YOU and i did
- 48:40Speaker 1: a game But For taxing live back a few years ago.
- 48:44Speaker 1: As well and and so those schools are getting more
- 48:49Speaker 1: and more used to having to work that information angle
- 48:53Speaker 1: because there's there's. More exposure WHEN THE U i l
- 48:55Speaker 1: after the pandemic said you can go ahead and keep live,
- 48:58Speaker 1: streaming telecast that just. Accelerated this uh you, might say
- 49:03Speaker 1: a disbursement of information everybody.
- 49:06Speaker 3: Exactly right AND now i think that because, of that
- 49:10Speaker 3: there is now coaches are getting better, At it coaches
- 49:14Speaker 3: are getting understanding of Like if jake were calling the game,
- 49:18Speaker 3: this weekend they would know more or Less what. Jake
- 49:21Speaker 3: needs jake is going to need a, depth chart he's
- 49:23Speaker 3: going to need a roster and then ideally he'd need
- 49:26Speaker 3: maybe five ten minutes of your time to ask a couple,
- 49:28Speaker 3: of questions you KNOW what, I mean and so they they.
- 49:31Speaker 3: Understand IT and i think what you're seeing now is
- 49:33Speaker 3: THAT with i think The me my guess, IS this
- 49:38Speaker 3: i want to be, VERY clear i don't know this for.
- 49:40Speaker 3: A fact i'm just. Speculating here my guess is that
- 49:44Speaker 3: the median age of head football coaches across the State
- 49:47Speaker 3: of texas has come, down recently like in the past
- 49:49Speaker 3: like ten years. OR so i think it's kind of.
- 49:51Speaker 3: Come down so there is this new generation of COACHES
- 49:53Speaker 3: that i think We're are this is more normal for
- 49:57Speaker 3: them that they're going to need to be able to
- 49:59Speaker 3: give the information uh to uh to somebody who's going
- 50:01Speaker 3: to be broadcasting, the game uh as opposed to, you
- 50:04Speaker 3: know back in, you know nineteen ninety when maybe if
- 50:07Speaker 3: you made to The state city Final Or may state,
- 50:09Speaker 3: championship game then they're gonna ask you for a ton.
- 50:11Speaker 3: Of information now it's it's it can Be their week.
- 50:13Speaker 3: Four game you know that they're going to have that information.
- 50:16Speaker 3: Out THERE so i think coaches are getting better at.
- 50:18Speaker 3: Understanding that and and and they've a lot of these
- 50:20Speaker 3: guys just have a package and, be, like hey go
- 50:21Speaker 3: here's here's everything. You need if if there's, something missing
- 50:24Speaker 3: to give me a. Call it but other, than that
- 50:25Speaker 3: like these these coaches have have in a lot of
- 50:27Speaker 3: ways met us part of the way.
- 50:29Speaker 1: As well true, true enough, you know like, you said
- 50:31Speaker 1: some of the, basic stuff roster, too deep, updated stats
- 50:35Speaker 1: and That's Where max preps has helped out because they
- 50:37Speaker 1: say all our stuff'sloaded On. Max preps go to max preps.
- 50:40Speaker 1: Dot com you can, find that so there's. A clearinghouse.
- 50:42Speaker 1: It helps AND then i used to always kind of
- 50:44Speaker 1: butter them up a little bit by Saying that i'd
- 50:46Speaker 1: like your. Bio too, it's funny, You know so we
- 50:49Speaker 1: talk about that on. The broadcast jake gets all of
- 50:52Speaker 1: this stuff as the voice of The Bass. Drop bears
- 50:54Speaker 1: he does he does the same thing. As well, all right,
- 50:57Speaker 1: let's uh let me get your thoughts as We moved CLASS.
- 51:00Speaker 1: Four a uh and and, you did you did the
- 51:03Speaker 1: the preview OF Four, a yeah it's a. Broken record
- 51:08Speaker 1: it's a broken record when we Talk about carthage every
- 51:10Speaker 1: year and FOR a d two it has become a.
- 51:12Speaker 3: Broken.
- 51:12Speaker 1: Record uh but in, this, case uh not only were
- 51:16Speaker 1: we Talk about carthage and FOR a, d two but
- 51:18Speaker 1: steven villein FOR a, d one got a pair of
- 51:21Speaker 1: returning undefeated, state champions and judging from what you have
- 51:27Speaker 1: laid out here in, grand detail there's probably not much
- 51:30Speaker 1: reason to think that those two won't be at or
- 51:34Speaker 1: near the top of. The, heap, AGAIN.
- 51:36Speaker 3: Yeah i think they deserve to. Start there sometimes you
- 51:39Speaker 3: can kind of talk think yourself into a more problem in,
- 51:44Speaker 3: the problems, whereas, like hey you've got two undefeated defending,
- 51:49Speaker 3: state champs each of them bring back a, fair amount
- 51:52Speaker 3: and each of them have plenty. Of pedigree don't overthink
- 51:55Speaker 3: and just stick them at, number one, you know in
- 51:56Speaker 3: Four a. Division two kind of the animating question for
- 52:00Speaker 3: probably the last decade has been is It a carthage
- 52:02Speaker 3: year or is it Not a? Carthage? Year right and
- 52:05Speaker 3: more often, than not it's Been a. Carthage year here
- 52:08Speaker 3: is a fun, fact that, For you carthage over the
- 52:11Speaker 3: last nine seasons is one hundred and thirty one and.
- 52:14Speaker 3: Four one they have won one hundred and thirty one
- 52:18Speaker 3: of their last one hundred and thirty. Five ballgames, and
- 52:22Speaker 3: look there is reason there are questions. ABOUT carthage i
- 52:26Speaker 3: want to, be clear this IS not i think last
- 52:27Speaker 3: year they looked like a runaway freight train with a
- 52:31Speaker 3: lot of what they. Brought back it Was pretty it
- 52:33Speaker 3: would have been pretty shocking if they had lost. This
- 52:35Speaker 3: year it's not. The case they were really hit hard.
- 52:37Speaker 3: By Graduation kJ edwards, Has Gone cleeve beck, Has Gone
- 52:42Speaker 3: carson crawford, Has Gone, junior henderson, Their coordinated they have a.
- 52:44Speaker 3: New quarterback with, that said a lot of things we
- 52:48Speaker 3: Really Like scot's. Sarada said he thinks it's the best
- 52:50Speaker 3: wide receiver corps they've. Ever had, a carthage which. IS
- 52:52Speaker 3: scary a lot of it to fall On Quarterback, jacob
- 52:55Speaker 3: dixon the. New guy and we know that that defense
- 52:57Speaker 3: is going to be. Very good outside, of them you
- 53:00Speaker 3: look at Teams Like pleasant grove going through a new
- 53:03Speaker 3: going through a coaching Change With josh. Gibson leaving they
- 53:05Speaker 3: promote from Within With. Jonathan darby their defensive line is
- 53:08Speaker 3: going to. Be Great West george stark is going to
- 53:10Speaker 3: be in that mix. As well, of course the team
- 53:12Speaker 3: that played for a state championship a year ago bringing
- 53:14Speaker 3: back their Running Back kelby jefferson For Coach Hiawatha Hippins.
- 53:17Speaker 3: Ball club And Then. Wakel Levega, WAKEL levega i think
- 53:20Speaker 3: is going to be really really good in all of
- 53:22Speaker 3: The wake. Levega ways they bring back a three year
- 53:24Speaker 3: Starter In courtney, parrk quarterback and their defense is going to.
- 53:27Speaker 3: Strike you there're gonna be a lot of fun at
- 53:29Speaker 3: THE Four a division. One level the same thing you Know.
- 53:32Speaker 3: For stephenville one of the INTERESTING things i think if
- 53:34Speaker 3: you go back and listen to like all the preview
- 53:37Speaker 3: stuff heading into the twenty twenty, five season one of
- 53:39Speaker 3: the Questions About steven bill's a, Oh, boy yeah they
- 53:42Speaker 3: got to find. A quarterback got a lot to like
- 53:43Speaker 3: they got to find. A, quarterback well all they have Is,
- 53:45Speaker 3: trot jordan WHO was i think one of the breakout
- 53:48Speaker 3: Stars of texas high school football. Last year he's back
- 53:51Speaker 3: in the mix Along with Zyler and clendon their star.
- 53:54Speaker 3: Running BACK and i do think what's interesting their defensive
- 53:58Speaker 3: line was such a outstanding playmaker for such an outstanding
- 54:03Speaker 3: you know unit for them last Year With Colton darth
- 54:06Speaker 3: vader their big defensive tackle leading, the way and their
- 54:09Speaker 3: defensive language was just Absolutely suffocated kilgore in that state.
- 54:12Speaker 3: Championship game there's there's some holes to, fill there but
- 54:15Speaker 3: their offense is gonna HUMT and I Trust turling dody
- 54:18Speaker 3: to put. It together the Team that i'm really interested
- 54:21Speaker 3: IN In foy division One is lyndale Out In, east
- 54:24Speaker 3: texas a ton, coming back a team that made a
- 54:27Speaker 3: state championship game back in TWENTY twenty i believe, it
- 54:30Speaker 3: was and so they've got that that that that history of.
- 54:33Speaker 3: Being there Their Quarterback david lindig has been a real
- 54:36Speaker 3: breakout start. For them that's a team to keep An
- 54:37Speaker 3: eyele but for now it looks like those boys From
- 54:40Speaker 3: The big Country And steven bill are probably the.
- 54:43Speaker 1: Early favorites see what you think? About THIS if i
- 54:46Speaker 1: like every year to HAVE what i call a category
- 54:48Speaker 1: of the, breakthrough teams teams that have never been in
- 54:51Speaker 1: the state or it's been decades or a long, long
- 54:53Speaker 1: time but they've been in the neighborhood over the past.
- 54:57Speaker 1: Several years and if this is going to be the,
- 55:01Speaker 1: breakout year it would be four and fill in the
- 55:03Speaker 1: blank and uh for For a. Division, two uh maybe
- 55:08Speaker 1: It's A, lumbic liberty which is a relatively. New program
- 55:10Speaker 1: most of the other ones have already been there at.
- 55:13Speaker 1: One point you could Probably to robinson into that and
- 55:16Speaker 1: then in FOUR a d one the two the thing
- 55:19Speaker 1: and you've got him. Ranked third springtown was one that
- 55:21Speaker 1: hadn't Mine and davenport from just off the north Side
- 55:24Speaker 1: Of san antonio a couple out of FOUR a.
- 55:26Speaker 3: D one i think those are those are really really good.
- 55:30Speaker 3: Pulls there, you know this Is The lubbic liberty for
- 55:32Speaker 3: those who don't know In in cooper id Outside, of
- 55:36Speaker 3: lubbock a fast. Growing, area actually one of the things
- 55:40Speaker 3: we talked About For, lubbic liberty this Is a i'm
- 55:44Speaker 3: actually really surprised they're still in FOR a. D two
- 55:46Speaker 3: i think they're right under. The. Cutoff uh they bring
- 55:49Speaker 3: up forty five lettermen for For a division, two team
- 55:52Speaker 3: which is a. To mean those are like six a
- 55:55Speaker 3: time numbers that you.
- 55:56Speaker 1: Bring.
- 55:56Speaker 3: Back uh they are a PROGRAM that i think kind
- 55:59Speaker 3: of announced their intent last year with a ten. Win
- 56:03Speaker 3: season they bring back. FIFTEEN starters i think that you
- 56:06Speaker 3: know they are going to be, a fast explosive team
- 56:10Speaker 3: that will be a ton. OF fun i would throw
- 56:13Speaker 3: in you know You. Mentioned robinson bryce mccurtry is the name.
- 56:16Speaker 3: To know their quarterback has been absolutely outstanding in a.
- 56:19Speaker 3: BREAKOUT year i believe he's. Committed somewhere brycem curtys is
- 56:24Speaker 3: a legit prospect out there As well springtown And fourtiest
- 56:27Speaker 3: vision One The. Porta pines, You know pojo has been
- 56:30Speaker 3: kind of knocking on the door for a couple, of
- 56:32Speaker 3: years and there's reason to believe that this is going
- 56:34Speaker 3: to be the year that they. Break through if they
- 56:35Speaker 3: can find some young skill guys who can.
- 56:37Speaker 1: Step up in a.
- 56:37Speaker 3: BIG way i think the nuts and bolts for them.
- 56:39Speaker 3: Are there and then. You're right You. Know davenport the
- 56:42Speaker 3: funny Thing about davenport is that they have been one
- 56:46Speaker 3: of those, you know we talked, about it those quick,
- 56:49Speaker 3: rising programs those programs that they don't take long to
- 56:51Speaker 3: get their feet. UNDERNEATH them i mean the last four
- 56:54Speaker 3: seasons they have won a grand total of forty. Four
- 56:57Speaker 3: games they've, been really, really good including a thirteen and
- 57:01Speaker 3: one run to a regional final a year ago when
- 57:03Speaker 3: they were when they came came up short to eventual
- 57:07Speaker 3: total To la vernium in the. REGIONAL final I think
- 57:09Speaker 3: davenport your. SPOT on i think that's a team that
- 57:12Speaker 3: now in a fifth, varsity season is going to be
- 57:15Speaker 3: really really dangerous there in region for in kind of
- 57:18Speaker 3: New look, region four where it's going to Be them
- 57:21Speaker 3: Lavernia And NYBE austin lbj in that next there And in.
- 57:24Speaker 1: Region four did you Say that carentage record of the
- 57:29Speaker 1: last nine years is one thirty one. And four is?
- 57:32Speaker 1: That correct?
- 57:33Speaker 3: That's, correct?
- 57:34Speaker 1: Okay correct. ALL right i just because my mind doesn't work,
- 57:38Speaker 1: FAST enough i pulled out the calculator. For folks when
- 57:40Speaker 1: it's one hundred and thirty five games divided, by nine
- 57:44Speaker 1: that's an average of exactly fifteen games. Per year so
- 57:49Speaker 1: they're playing fifteen games per year in. Some seasons that's
- 57:53Speaker 1: enough to be playing for the state championship if you
- 57:55Speaker 1: wound up with a nine game regular season. Or whatever
- 57:58Speaker 1: but fifteen games you're in the final fourth least. Every
- 58:02Speaker 1: year And. That's.
- 58:03Speaker 3: CARTTAGE yeah, i mean that's the thing and the Thing,
- 58:07Speaker 3: about carthage And and i'm sure we'll talk about it
- 58:10Speaker 3: whenever we get to. The playoffs. With them if you're gonna,
- 58:14Speaker 3: get them you gotta get. Them early if you're gonna,
- 58:16Speaker 3: beat them you gotta beat them, Generally speaking. Thanksgiving weekend

- 58:24Speaker 3: late i think they they LOST to i think they
- 58:27Speaker 3: Lost a gilmer in a. Regional Final But pleasant grove
- 58:30Speaker 3: has been a team that's been on the business end
- 58:32Speaker 3: of them for a number. OF years i can only
- 58:34Speaker 3: recall one time when they Lost, in december Because remember

- 1:17:09Speaker 5: have known, each other, you know ten fifteen. Years ago
- 1:17:12Speaker 5: but it's great being with, him now.
- 1:17:14Speaker 1: No doubt, about it and glad he's. Rolling alongside let
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: me jump right in and get your thoughts of what
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: you said we talked about right after the. Trade deadline
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: i've noticed some pieces today where people are doing a
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: further review of what's happened with the. TRADE deadline i want,
- 1:17:31Speaker 1: to get first, of all your take on the teams
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: that really have caught fire because you. Predicted this you,
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: said this keep, an eye continue to keep an eye
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: On The, red sox and then, you said keep. An
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: Eye the tigers are not. Yet done and and then
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: you Said the rangers are not not, dead yet and
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: they've been. Going well you Said the phillies would catch
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: fire again and they've been doing. Pretty well and then
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: and then you also Said, the padres we're not, dead
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: yet and all they've done is win seven of their
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: Last eight. Paul games what have you seen from those
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: teams that have stood out to why they were able to?
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: Catch fire here as we're going through the dark days. Of, summer.
- 1:18:15Speaker 5: Well with every team except For, THE tigers i would
- 1:18:17Speaker 5: say that it begins and ends with. STARTING pitching, i
- 1:18:19Speaker 5: mean it's going to be the currency of the. Game
- 1:18:22Speaker 5: forever we were actually just talking. ABOUT that i think
- 1:18:25Speaker 5: at some point the Loss of Scoobel and mize will
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: begin to take its toll as you begin to make
- 1:18:30Speaker 5: three and four turns around. THE rotation i don't think
- 1:18:33Speaker 5: you can Replace a Scoobol or. Amis now they Do
- 1:18:36Speaker 5: Have Jackson, joe back who is one of the best
- 1:18:39Speaker 5: young pitchers in the game, of baseball but even he's
- 1:18:42Speaker 5: going to have to be monitored down the stretch coming
- 1:18:44Speaker 5: Back From. Tommy john but with, everybody else it's really
- 1:18:47Speaker 5: been the. Starting pitching it is the summer months begin
- 1:18:50Speaker 5: to heat up and hitters starting to. Eat up when
- 1:18:53Speaker 5: you've got that solid starting pitching and having guys that
- 1:18:56Speaker 5: can go deep into games and you're not taxing, your
- 1:18:59Speaker 5: bullpen that's gonna be quite the advantage for. Those TEAMS
- 1:19:02Speaker 5: and i think that's what you've Seen, with Boston With,
- 1:19:05Speaker 5: san Diego with Phil. Delph is they've got bell cow
- 1:19:09Speaker 5: type starters that.
- 1:19:10Speaker 3: Can go deep in.
- 1:19:11Speaker 5: The games and when you have that and your bullpen's
- 1:19:13Speaker 5: not being taxed. Every night you got a chance to win,
- 1:19:16Speaker 5: baseball game no doubt.
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: About IT and i would be REMISS if i didn't
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: mention another team In The National, League, west arizona which
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: if the playoffs, began today would be in. The postseason
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: here's another team. That's pushing they at one time were
- 1:19:30Speaker 1: fifteen games back Of the dodgers In. The west they
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: cut exactly half of that depth set off there within
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: seven and. A half how About What tory leavello has
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: done with his guys here as the second half is.
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: Cranked up.
- 1:19:43Speaker 5: Truly amazing what, they've done especially with the injuries they've
- 1:19:46Speaker 5: taken on, the mound not only to their stars but to.
- 1:19:49Speaker 5: Their bullpen but they have a, very young. Productive offense
- 1:19:52Speaker 5: they play with a lot of excitement on, the field and, You,
- 1:19:55Speaker 5: know craig all we hear about is, competitive imbalance and
- 1:20:00Speaker 5: all we're seeing is a lot of teams that still
- 1:20:03Speaker 5: have a chance to go on a seven to ten
- 1:20:06Speaker 5: game streak and push their way into the playoffs and
- 1:20:09Speaker 5: those wild card those are really going to be great
- 1:20:11Speaker 5: races down to the, last week no doubt.
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: About It all right on the, other side, of that
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: eyebrows are being raised about the TEAM that i like
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: so much About, the dodgers who lost seven in, a
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: row lost eight. Of nine now they didn't win, Last
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: night and the things that are catching. People's eye you
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: said from the start and others have said it, as
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: well they're trying to get to the. Finish line last
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: year at this same Time, in august they went through.
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: A slump they lost seven in, a row just like,
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: this year kind of Recovered in september and ended up
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: not having a home. Field advantage way weren't even the top.
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: Two seed they were a three seed and had to
- 1:20:44Speaker 1: do it the, hard way and as it stands, right
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: now they would be a. Three seed they Do have
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: milwaukee coming to town, this weekend which will be. Really
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: big but the things that stood out to me and
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: what are standing out to people is the starting pitcheon
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: that was so good, for them has fallen off. Of Late,
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: justin Leski An, all star has lost three. Consecutive outings
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: they've had Other Even yama motor has not been able
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: to go as deep in. The games and the thing
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: that was really alarming for a Bit Was edwin diaz coming.
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: Off injury what going into coming out of the bullpen
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: last night was ohen one with a ten to. Four
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: oeer now he looked like The Old edwin dz last
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: night had his first one two three inning As, A
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: dodger bam, bam bam and closed, it out had that
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: slider work and then got the save off. Of that
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: and they Do get snell, back tonight so he'll go
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: back into the rotation tonight For. The dodgers but is
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: this a team still just trying to bite its time
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: to get to that or do they have to kind
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: of kick it in high gear a little, bit here
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: especially with Guys Like mookie betts bat in two twenty
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: nine and some of the other guys in the two
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: thirty five to two. Forty Range kyle tucker another one of.
- 1:21:51Speaker 5: Those, GUYS well i don't think you can ever turn
- 1:21:55Speaker 5: it off and turn it. BACK on i do think
- 1:21:58Speaker 5: there's a real tack to having two long seasons like
- 1:22:02Speaker 5: this team. HAS had i think the Addition of scooball
- 1:22:06Speaker 5: is tremendous, for them because whenever you have a team
- 1:22:09Speaker 5: that's won like they've won together for, two years you
- 1:22:12Speaker 5: kind of want to put, On top you want to
- 1:22:14Speaker 5: pile on with players that are really talented that haven't won,
- 1:22:18Speaker 5: world championships because they're going to be the driving force behind.
- 1:22:22Speaker 5: The ENERGY but i don't think you can begin. TO
- 1:22:24Speaker 5: panic i still think they're the favorites to Win The.
- 1:22:27Speaker 5: World series, you know we just came out of a
- 1:22:29Speaker 5: big statement series this past Weekend with cleveland coming, to
- 1:22:33Speaker 5: town and we were able to win two out, of
- 1:22:34Speaker 5: three which ensured the. Tie breaker should we they sweep
- 1:22:39Speaker 5: us the next time we, play them we have. The
- 1:22:40Speaker 5: tiebreaker this is a big statement Series for MILWAUKEE. And
- 1:22:44Speaker 5: la this Weekend to milwaukee will tell you they believe
- 1:22:48Speaker 5: they're the, most talented most fundamentally sound team, in baseball
- 1:22:52Speaker 5: and so they're coming in there with a. Real edge
- 1:22:55Speaker 5: so if Ever, the dodgers we're going to pick it
- 1:22:57Speaker 5: up and turn. It on this weekend's going to be
- 1:22:59Speaker 5: the we and where they want to.
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: Do that here's a, POPULAR, question gino how does a
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: Guy like miserowski throw as many one hundred plus mile
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: per hour pitches in. AND outing i think everybody's just
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: waiting for the other shoot, to drop and all of
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: a sudden you, hear alwa he's GOT a. Ucl issue
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: he's going to have To Have, tommy john but he
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: continues to go out night after night and just throw
- 1:23:22Speaker 1: a bucket full of one hundred mile per hour. Plus, Pitches.
- 1:23:28Speaker 5: Well i've said. It before mazerowski is from a small Town,
- 1:23:33Speaker 5: in missouri one one blinking Light.
- 1:23:36Speaker 6: In missouri and we all know.
- 1:23:38Speaker 5: Of a Hall of fame pitcher from a really small
- 1:23:40Speaker 5: Town In. South Texas And jacob mizerowski is as Close
- 1:23:44Speaker 5: To nolan Ryan as i've ever seen in. My life
- 1:23:47Speaker 5: if you could ever compare one young pitcher to what
- 1:23:50Speaker 5: a pitcher looked like young in, His Career jacob mizerowski
- 1:23:53Speaker 5: looks Just like nolan early in. His CAREER and i
- 1:23:56Speaker 5: think when you look at his size and strength and
- 1:23:59Speaker 5: leverage and the way he moves down the mound and
- 1:24:02Speaker 5: the athlete that he is and the cleanness to, HIS
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: delivery i think this one's a little. BIT different i
- 1:24:08Speaker 5: understand where you've got a lot of guys that are
- 1:24:11Speaker 5: effort off the mound and blowing it out and blowing,
- 1:24:13Speaker 5: and going and you, can, say yeah that guy is gonna.
- 1:24:15Speaker 5: Blow eventually i'm not so Sure with jacob because he
- 1:24:18Speaker 5: works down the mound, so well he's in his legs
- 1:24:21Speaker 5: in his delivery so good and that arm is just
- 1:24:24Speaker 5: so LOOSE that i think we're seeing the very beginning
- 1:24:28Speaker 5: OF what i think expect to be a great career
- 1:24:30Speaker 5: Out Of.
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: Jacob, Ezrowski okay so for the ogs out there, like myself,
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: you know so the, old timers they'll recall since you were,
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: talking about, you know fireballing pictures from what, you know
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: a very. Small town since you're headed to the State,
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: of iowa makes me think about that Guy From van Meter,
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: Or Iowa, bob Feller who nolan was compared to back
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: in the day because of. The, Heat now feller wasn't
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: as big As either nolan was in his Career or
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: Missosky as but that's that's all about that heat and
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: the way those guys conditioned themselves to be able to
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: throw that, that hard that long on a, regular basis.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: Isn't it?
- 1:25:09Speaker 5: It is and there was a different time back then
- 1:25:11Speaker 5: where guys are living in the weight room and living
- 1:25:13Speaker 5: in the. Pitch, labs now, back then these guys took
- 1:25:16Speaker 5: jobs and they were working in fields and they were,
- 1:25:19Speaker 5: you know they were doing a lot of manual labor
- 1:25:21Speaker 5: that kept their bodies. Into SHAPE and i was able
- 1:25:24Speaker 5: to get To Know bob feller toward the end of
- 1:25:27Speaker 5: his lifetime and just just an incredible human being that
- 1:25:30Speaker 5: that really loved to, talk about, you know the military
- 1:25:34Speaker 5: and his time in. The military then he did baseball
- 1:25:36Speaker 5: and it was honored to be able to get to know.
- 1:25:38Speaker 5: Him some but it's just, different time it's different ways
- 1:25:41Speaker 5: of getting to where you want to be as a
- 1:25:43Speaker 5: development of. A pitcher But But, jacob mazarowski, for me
- 1:25:46Speaker 5: is one of the throwbacks.
- 1:25:47Speaker 1: Right Now TEEN watson mlb insider forst From The Chicago
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: white sox for an office joining us here on thirteen.
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: Hundred zone, gin know let me get your thoughts In
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: The American LEAGUE west i Called the rangers in Action
- 1:25:58Speaker 1: last friday Night, against baltimore and it looks like they're
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: hitting better than they. Had now they took two or
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: three From. The oriols they Lost a, sunday game but
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: Seeing As corey seeger tries to fight his way back
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: through it to, See You, jack peterson he swinging the
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: bat better for that ball club, as well and several
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: of those guys have pitched pretty well for them lats
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: out of. The bullpen how About the rangers And the
- 1:26:24Speaker 1: astars who have clearly the guy who's gonna Win The AMERICAN,
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: league mvp barring some strange thing Happening In. Jordan alvarez.
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: Two sides to.
- 1:26:34Speaker 5: THE coin i Think, with texas you've seen in spurts
- 1:26:38Speaker 5: where they can go on a really good, run offensively
- 1:26:40Speaker 5: they can go a really good run with their, starting
- 1:26:42Speaker 5: pitching and they can go on a decent run with,
- 1:26:44Speaker 5: Their bullpen and the bullpen was the ONE area i
- 1:26:46Speaker 5: think they want to address. The most when they get
- 1:26:50Speaker 5: things going consistently with all three phases of, the game
- 1:26:53Speaker 5: they have a chance to be very Dangerous Because skip
- 1:26:56Speaker 5: schumacher is such a great young manager and they have
- 1:26:59Speaker 5: really good. Starting pitching so if they can get it
- 1:27:02Speaker 5: together and mess those, three entities they're gonna be.
- 1:27:05Speaker 3: Tough to Beat.
- 1:27:06Speaker 5: The astros it's all gonna be about.
- 1:27:08Speaker 3: Their starting pitching and can they.
- 1:27:09Speaker 5: Stay healthy on, the mouth, you Know obviously yourdell's the
- 1:27:13Speaker 5: best player In The. American League jeremy pinia is, a star.
- 1:27:16Speaker 5: You Know Adding dalton varshow has been kind of a
- 1:27:18Speaker 5: pick me up. For them but they've got to get
- 1:27:21Speaker 5: innings out of. Their starters they cannot continue to tax
- 1:27:24Speaker 5: the bullpen and so if they can, do that that's
- 1:27:26Speaker 5: gonna be a great race between those two teams down.
- 1:27:28Speaker 5: The stretch and we go in four big games the
- 1:27:31Speaker 5: first Week, of september looking forward to seeing what that matchup.
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: Looks like you bet, All Right, so gino let me
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: give you a chance to talk a little bit about
- 1:27:39Speaker 1: what exactly are you going to be doing with this
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: With This all, star game and tell folks a little bit,
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: about it because it's got to be a lot. OF
- 1:27:46Speaker 1: fun i would imagine to be a part of something
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: like this in the field of dreams There.
- 1:27:49Speaker 5: In, dyersville well anytime you can get the best high
- 1:27:53Speaker 5: school players together in, one spot not only do you
- 1:27:56Speaker 5: get a chance, to see like who of all the,
- 1:27:59Speaker 5: great player who's the guy that wants to stand up
- 1:28:02Speaker 5: and be? The guy and when you're talking about giving
- 1:28:04Speaker 5: players of millions of dollars in the draft to be
- 1:28:07Speaker 5: able to interact with the players and get a fill for.
- 1:28:09Speaker 5: Their MAKEUP and i think there's like six Or seven
- 1:28:12Speaker 5: texans in, this game but to see the best of
- 1:28:15Speaker 5: the best from across the country come together and who
- 1:28:18Speaker 5: are the? Secure players who are the? Insecure players who
- 1:28:22Speaker 5: wants to be?
- 1:28:22Speaker 6: The guy you.
- 1:28:24Speaker 5: Can create some separation in your mind from a, makeup
- 1:28:26Speaker 5: standpoint and then once you get in between the, white
- 1:28:29Speaker 5: lines you're just evaluating the tools and. The talent and
- 1:28:32Speaker 5: it's the very earliest event that there is for the
- 1:28:35Speaker 5: twenty twenty, seven draft and so this is really the
- 1:28:38Speaker 5: starting line in what will be a long journey into
- 1:28:41Speaker 5: the Draft. Next july but it's going to be a
- 1:28:43Speaker 5: lot of fun coupled With The major league Game.
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: On, thursday yeah what do you say to these kids

- 1:28:53Speaker 5: like to hear about what makes. Them tick, you know
- 1:28:55Speaker 5: there are some kids that have been through a great
- 1:28:58Speaker 5: deal of adversity in, their lives and those ones that
- 1:29:01Speaker 5: can tend to assimilate into pro ball a little better
- 1:29:05Speaker 5: because they've they've had. Some adversity the game means a
- 1:29:07Speaker 5: little bit more to them because they it's their means
- 1:29:10Speaker 5: for getting out of a tough situation in life for.
- 1:29:14Speaker 5: Their family but it's just getting to know the kids
- 1:29:17Speaker 5: and what makes them tick and what kind of competitors.
- 1:29:19Speaker 5: They are, you know are they driven by their own?
- 1:29:22Speaker 5: Personal motivation are they driven by the life, of comparison
- 1:29:26Speaker 5: which in the social media, world today so many of
- 1:29:29Speaker 5: these young players are driven by the life of comparison
- 1:29:33Speaker 5: and rankings by. Certain groups and so it's just sitting
- 1:29:36Speaker 5: inside in the heart and the mind of the player

- 1:32:08Speaker 1: last thirty minutes to ask if there's an update on.
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: It yet and the last that was out there was
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: that a Judge in waco was supposed to take a
- 1:32:24Speaker 1: look at the case this afternoon at one and then
- 1:32:30Speaker 1: rule whether the temporary restraining order that another judge had
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: granted in favor Of the tulsa team would be allowed. To,
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: stand so, in fact we may EVEN as, i speak
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: we may have the answer. On this. Right now i'm
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: pulling this up and let's see the. Answer is this
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: happened just a moment ago from Our Friend don harris
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: Down In. SAN antonio a judge has ruled in Favor
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: of Bernie And little league and it Has dissolved tulsa's temporary.
- 1:33:23Speaker 1: Restraining order and this is literally within the last. One
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: minute this just. Came down the official statement is coming
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: Soon From Little. League international it. Is over it. Is
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: official bernie Advances To Little League world series they will
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: leave this Week for williamsport with their first game coming
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: Up on august, Twenty first so. It's official tulsa's. Definitely
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: out there will be no game at. Six O'clock the
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: tulsa team that was disqualified for having ineligible players got
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: a tro last night to try to see if they
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: could go ahead, and play and a judge has dissolved
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: the temporary.
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: Restraining ORDER and, i know for folks that were with
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: us at the at the top of the two o'clock
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: hour when we talked about, THIS story i was a.
- 1:34:12Speaker 3: LITTLE incredulous, i mean what are we? Doing here what
- 1:34:15Speaker 3: are we?
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: Doing here two have, the gumption not, the gumption but
- 1:34:20Speaker 2: the gall therity.
- 1:34:23Speaker 3: At the rest, of it Like Steved.
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: A smith but to say That The little league of,
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: All Organizations little league can't enforce its, OWN rules, i
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: mean this is this is the classic example, of right
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: the adults in college sports maybe being bad role models
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: for the adults in this situation when it Comes To.
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: Little leagues are by, the.
- 1:34:45Speaker 1: Story are you saying that someone needs to be the
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: adult in? This room in, this case nobody needed to
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: be the. Adults room the way that it, worked out
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: somebody needed to have a proper judge in.
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: The room where where are the filters in people's minds
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: when they when they go through this process, and, Say
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: yeah I'm gonna i'm Gonna Sue.
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: Little, league well HERE'S what i would want. To see
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: If the tulsa national team had a, legitimate case don't
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: you think we probably would have heard it before it
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: got to this level that they would have SAID player
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: a and OR and i was told MAYBE, player B,
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: and c and MAYBE. Even d there was there was more,
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: than one according TO what i had, been told player
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: whose eligibility was called, into question whether or not even
- 1:35:38Speaker 1: even one would call for the expulsion, if, if if
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: if that one player played on that team and that,
- 1:35:45Speaker 1: team won they would be required to for of It
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: Under little. League RULES but i was told it was more.
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: Than one so my question for the folks in tuls
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: would be what grounds do? You have can you where's
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: the burden of? Proof here so you'd have to kind,
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: of prove, you know and it'd have to be actual
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: birth certificates and all that other kind of stuff that
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: they that they. Ask for and there's more ways even
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: just in birth certificates this day, and age to prove
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: someone's identity and when their. Birth is so THAT'S what
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: i would want to hear if it was going to get.
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: To that but there's your update That the burning team
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: is going to Go to williamsports and the first game
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: will be on the. Twenty first so there, it is,
- 1:36:34Speaker 1: All right let's hear a. Little MORE as i Mentioned From,
- 1:36:37Speaker 1: demico Ryans the, texans coach in getting his team ready
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: for their first preseason game, coming Up and demiko was
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: Asked About, noah whittington undrafted free agent, running back and
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: he's been impressed with what he's seen from him and
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: as he continues to work to try to earn a,
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: roster spot.
- 1:37:00Speaker 7: It seems to make a play every day where he
- 1:37:02Speaker 7: has a really good feel for pressing blocks and, his
- 1:37:05Speaker 7: vision just knowing when, to cut when to take the,
- 1:37:08Speaker 7: ball outside when to, you know make a cut back.
- 1:37:10Speaker 6: Up inside just you feel.
- 1:37:12Speaker 7: A guy i see a guy who has plays a really,
- 1:37:14Speaker 7: great vision great feel at the running. Back spot so
- 1:37:17Speaker 7: when you see guys that are lower run to depth
- 1:37:20Speaker 7: chart in these, preseason games some of those running backs are.
- 1:37:23Speaker 7: Gonna shine they're gonna make some. Nice plays noah won't.
- 1:37:26Speaker 6: Surprise. Me pittsonburg won't.
- 1:37:28Speaker 7: Surprise me those guys that have done at all camp
- 1:37:30Speaker 7: so excited to see.
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: Him, playing okay, all right that's that's. Very, Good next
- 1:37:36Speaker 1: ryan's was asked if he was pleased with what he's seen?
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: So far this was from. This morning has he been
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: pleased with what he's seen with the balance of staying
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: competitive and keeping. Guys healthy this was a question that
- 1:37:48Speaker 1: was Put To steve. Sarkisian yesterday start get to talk
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: about about. That balance you want to see, the physicality
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: you want to see, the intensity you want to see,
- 1:37:57Speaker 1: the competition but, above all you want To keep. God's
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: healthy this.
- 1:38:01Speaker 7: Is probably our best year with that balance of keeping
- 1:38:04Speaker 7: guys healthy but also playing.
- 1:38:07Speaker 6: Our.
- 1:38:07Speaker 7: Style right it is a lot of give and, take
- 1:38:10Speaker 7: THERE but i can never sacrifice the mindset and the
- 1:38:15Speaker 7: play STYLE that i want to exhibit when when we.
- 1:38:18Speaker 7: Play ball you want everybody to continue to talk about
- 1:38:20Speaker 7: how physical, we are, How relentless, like man why do
- 1:38:24Speaker 7: your guys run to the ball like?
- 1:38:25Speaker 6: They do how do you guys finish?
- 1:38:26Speaker 7: That way that's, our brand that's who we Are, as
- 1:38:29Speaker 7: texans and we will always. Represent that but the fine
- 1:38:32Speaker 7: line is we have to protect. The team when we're
- 1:38:34Speaker 7: practicing against, each other we are on the, same team
- 1:38:37Speaker 7: no matter how upset guys may get at. Each other
- 1:38:40Speaker 7: and it's that point of camp Right where i'm tired
- 1:38:43Speaker 7: of going against the same.
- 1:38:44Speaker 6: Guy over and. OVER again i know, his moves i know.
- 1:38:48Speaker 7: Everything that he's gonna throw, at Me and i'm just
- 1:38:50Speaker 7: tired of. Going In so thursday's game is coming right
- 1:38:53Speaker 7: on time.

- 1:38:57Speaker 1: depth linebacker and the fight for the starting third. Linebacker
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: spot we have.
- 1:39:02Speaker 6: A lot of great depth. At linebacker.
- 1:39:06Speaker 7: We have a lot of capable guys who can go
- 1:39:08Speaker 7: out and play, you know defense. For us but also
- 1:39:11Speaker 7: that that third fourth. Linebacker spot it comes down to the,
- 1:39:15Speaker 7: special teams right and how valuable are those guys being
- 1:39:18Speaker 7: able to play all four special teams? For us so
- 1:39:21Speaker 7: it'll be important for those guys in this game and go, Showcase.
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: That okay and then it was asked about another undrafted
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: free agent wide Receiver FROM Division, Fcs Colgate, trayvon sanders
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: and the impressions he has.
- 1:39:34Speaker 7: Of him trayvon has done a really nice job of just,
- 1:39:38Speaker 7: you know, being smart always aligning in the, right place
- 1:39:41Speaker 7: we throw a lot on the receivers when it comes
- 1:39:43Speaker 7: to alignments. AND motions i feel like he's handled that.
- 1:39:46Speaker 7: Really well and it's, a fast explosive guy who he
- 1:39:50Speaker 7: can make some plays with the football in.
- 1:39:51Speaker 6: His hands so we'll see how he does on, tomorrow night.
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: All right and then one, Other Guy, david montgomery The
