• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Too loud here on Thursday afternoon on sports Radio AM
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: thirteen under his own we miss him, Toby Keith and
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: uh and I know the uh the University of Oklahoma
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: community and the athletic community miss him as well. He
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: was a very loyal Sooner as well. And uh, some
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: might apply that question, how do you like me now
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to Skip Johnson? Their baseball coach and even today Brent
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Dinnables they had football coach to join us in our
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: SEC football previews. Are a good friend. Toby Rowland, the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: play by play voice of the Oklahoma Sooners, joins us. Now,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Tim raw was, you know it was all set to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: jump into football and target, but you and I haven't visited, uh,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you know much since the since the national championship. And
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and I would submit to you that even as long
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: worn fans don't want anyone but Texas to win a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: national championship, and especially if it's a rival school, I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: had more people happy for Skip Johnson and how this
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: worked out for Skip and winning his first national championship
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: at the College World Series as a head coach. So,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in case you didn't hear, I was saying I had
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: more long worn fans. Tell me how happy they were
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: about Skip Johnson winning the National Championships. It was almost
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: like a lot of Texas fans could live with that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: thing because of Skip and what a good man he is.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And I know it had be a happy time for you,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: for the program, for the community, and certainly for the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Johnson family.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm happy for a lot of people, and Skip
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Johnson is at the top of that list for George,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: just as Texas fans are well aware, as salt of
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the earth, as genuine as they come.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: And what a riot.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, completely out of the blue. Football was not
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: playing good baseball going into the NCAA tournament. They weren't
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: getting they weren't they were sloppy defensive. There was absolutely
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: no reason to believe that they would even make it
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: out of the Atlanta Regional. And for them to win
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: the National Championship is I think it's the most improbable
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: run that any ou team in any sport has ever
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: had to a title, and they get They went the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: hard way.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You know, they beat the greatest.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Georgia Tech team of all time, they beat the best
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Kansas team that they've ever had, arguably the best Georgia
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: team of all time, and arguably the best North Carolina
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: team they've ever had, and to win it so an
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: incredible accomplishment.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it. And like I said, a lot
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of longer events were happy for Skipping. Myself included about that,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and I texted him that night after the national title
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and the text to be right back and was really
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: really good. So I transitioned from that into the announcement
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: today for the contract extension or the new six year
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: deal for Brent Vinables. Now, you know, I thought that
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: he's he's gonna fine job there and obviously coach the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Sooners into the playoffs, but fans being fans, and it's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: like this in this town. It's like this in Athens, Georgia,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and Tuscaloose, Alabama, Baton Rouge, and then obviously in Norman
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: there's always going to be those who wonder, who question,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: who doubt, all that sort of stuff. I would imagine,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: at least for a good chunk of them, this new
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: deal for Brent Vennable's kind of puts a little bit
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of that to rest for a time. Wouldn't you think, Oh,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it's college sports, you know, I mean if they go
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: out and go seven and five this year or you know, worse,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: then they'll be calling for his head. So it certainly
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: increases the buyout you would think if something bad comes along.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: But I think there will be.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Some skepticism about that for sure, about this extension among
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a fraction of the fan base because us you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: two years ago they did not that that year and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: last year they went to the playoff, but they lost
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: their first game, and the expectations around here are national championships,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and so there will be a fraction of the fan
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: base that looks at this sideways. But I would say
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the overwhelming majority is very happy with the job that
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: he's done. They love Brent from the first time around
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: when he was a defensive coordinator. They love the culture
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that he has built at OU, and the defense has
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: been undeniably fantastic since he took over, and it's gotten
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: better every year. They have searched for answers to make
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the offense better, and we'll see whether or not they've
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: accomplished that this year. There's reason to believe they're going
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: to be better on that side of the ball. But
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the direction the program has gone in the last couple
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: of years, and especially what he has turned them into defensively.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Has everyone pretty excited? Would say that the vast majority
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: of the Ou fan base will receive this news today.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you brought up something, and like I said,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: both of us have seen this with our own eyes.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And you pointed out the expectation is for national championships
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: at Oklahoma. This is the same thing at Texas. The
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: expectations for national championships. Now you've seen it like I've
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: seen it on social media. There are people in places
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: like Athens, George and Tuscaloosa or wherever and said, why
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: do you guys expect so much? You know, Oklahoma had
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: one one since two thousand, Texas had one one since
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: two thousand and five. What is this quote unquote expectation.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: My response has always been the expectation is to be
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: in the hunt and to play for it every year,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and that's the expectation in the building where they have that,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and so fans of the teams, fans of Oklahoma, fans
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of Texas do come to expect that. And yes, maybe
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: either one of them has won one in more than
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: two decades, and LSU's won the one in twenty nineteen
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: before that, going all the way back to four, but
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: there hasn't been. It's not like there's been an awful
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: lot of national championships among all of the SEC other
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: than Alabama in Georgia. So expectation is a is a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: standard that comes out every year, don't you think, no
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: matter how long the drought might be.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: This is one of those places where it's never gonna
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: change and they don't care what conference you're in.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: And I don't I'm not even disagreeing with that, you know.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I think that if you are of blue blood status
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: and in football Oklahoma is, then that should be the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: goal every year. There has to be a realization that
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: goes along with it that this is a tougher conference.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, you know, it's not like
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the old days where you had to be in the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: top two to have a chance anymore. You know, you could,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you just got to make the playoff. And so I
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: don't think whoever the head coach is, whatever conference they play,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and it's never gonna change around here, nor should it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: They want to win a title, and it's been now
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: twenty six years since they won their last one, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: for a lot of Sooner fans, and they've had great
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: teams and great players in the last twenty six years,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: but they don't have that championship, and so there is
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: certainly a bubbling hunger.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Toby Rowland, play by play voice
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: of the Oklahoma Sooners, joining us here to preview the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Sooners here on thirteen hunderd Zone. Let me start where
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I've started with all the other guys starting at quarterback,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: and I would submit to that other than John Mattier
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: at Oklahoma, Arch Manning at Texas, Gunner Stockton at Georgia Trinidad, Shambliss,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I guess at Ole Miss those four you get below that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe Marcell Reed could be put in there as well.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: But there's question marks. Just about all of the other
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: play by play guys have mentioned that to me they
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: kind of have a question mark at their quarterback spot.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Clearly that question mark does not exist for Oklahoma, and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I would imagine it's a pretty anxious materier to take
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the rains again, being healthy, to try to take it
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: up another notch this season.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned healthy, and that's the key word. He
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: played two thirds of last season with a broken thumb
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: on his throwing hand, and it was you know, you
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: could tell. And the first game he came back. Obviously
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: was the Texas game, and anything beyond fifteen yards fluttered
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: on him, and even beyond that later in the year,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: he just didn't have the zip on any downfield passing.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: And what it did is defenses compacted on him. They
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: knew that the deep threat wasn't there, and so they
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: were able to play all eleven guys closer to line
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: of scrimmage and it made moving the football very difficult.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: He's healthy, that thumb is healthy, the zip is back.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: You know, the first four games last year before he
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: got hurt were fantastic and he was being mentioned among
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the early Heisman contenders. And so that is the hope
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that if he could stay healthy this year, that he
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: could be that level of quarterback again. He's experienced, he's
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: played a ton of college football. He's a running threat,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and with a healthy hand again, the hope is that
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: that'll be one of the pieces of the puzzle to
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: significantly improving that offense.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You have Isaiah Setania Baker receiver, and then and then
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a couple of intriguing portal additions there. Trella Harris coming
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: in second team all a sec of Virginia and oh,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: by the way, Parker Livingston, the former love Joy Leppard
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: as well as as well as long worn How what
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: have you been able to ascertain on how those guys,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: because that's always the question t Row about guys acclimating
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: through the portal into the system and getting comfortable and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: then productive.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where everybody's always excited to see the new guys,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: for sure. Trell Harris got deemed up in the spring
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: and was not fully healthy to start fall camp, but
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: he's back now and just starting to work his way
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: into the offense. He was a downfield playmaker for Virginia
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: and one of the better wideouts in the ACC last year,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: and so there's hope that he'll help stretch the field.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: And certainly the same for Parker Livingston. You know better
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: than I do what he brings to the field. But
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the size and the speed is something that Oklahoma really
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: didn't have last year. They had Dion Burks, who's little.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: They had Isaiah Setania who's little. They had a bunch
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: of mighty mites running around who were pretty good pass catchers,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: but there weren't a lot of big targets and they
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: certainly have changed that. And it's more than Parker Livingston
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: and many choice is six foot five.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: They brought in three tight ends.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Hayden Hansen from Florida is six 's eight, Rocky Beers
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: is six' five From Colorado. State by the, way that's
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the brother Of Reagan. Beers if you're a women's basketball.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Fan they brought In tennessee tight end who's six foot,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Four Jack Van. Dorsler so they really try to not
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: just add targets For, matier but add some size for
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: him in the passing game as, well and So livingston
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: is one of the examples of. THAT i think if
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: if you made me guess, TODAY i think your three
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: starting receivers would Be Setania livingston And Trell. Harris the
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: young man Named Elijah thomas who's a sophomore who's having
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: a fabulous, fall AND i think he'll push for a
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: starting spot as, well and maybe a couple of other.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Guys but the plan is For livingston And Trell harris
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: to be major impact guys for them transferring in this.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Year IF i were to say to you THAT i
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Envision Parker livingston as a, bigger little faster version Of
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Drake stoops with that with that great past catching, ability
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that wouldn't bother you too?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Much Would it wouldn't bother me at. All any comparison
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: To Drake stoops is met with a smile in these.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: PARTS i, mean he is one of the favorite sons for.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Sure so if he's, bringing you, know that type of
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: game and toughness to the, table then he will quickly
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: endear himself To sooner.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Fans Talking sooner football here With oklahom's played By Playboys
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Tobe rowland here for a couple More brando's here on
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: thirteen under the. Zone let me let me jump to
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the defense and get your thoughts on. There obviously some
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: familiar names back like A Kip lewis and The bowens
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and the secondary as, well and you, know H taylor
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: wand you had some guys some other guys who are
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: who are in there as. Well how do you assess
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: What oklahoma will bring to the? Party?
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Defend, well the direction this interview has gone is exactly
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: the way everything has gone in the. Preseason nobody is
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: really talking about the. Defense all the questions are on
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the offensive side of the, ball and justifiably, so there's
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: just kind of an expectation that they're gonna be good,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: there AND i think they're gonna. Be they were really
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: good last year AND i think they'll be really good.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Again the secondary on paper looks to be as good
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: as they've had in a, while going into a season
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: with The bowen brothers In, Courtland gillery And Michael boganowski at.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Linebacker Kip lewis is back who's been a big time
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: playmaker for. Them Owen heineke won his court case and
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: got a fifth year and he's back and he made
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: a ton of plays for him last. Year they brought
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: In Cole, sullivan who at five interceptions At michigan last.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Year he'll join that linebacking corps and probably play a
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: lot of the cheatah, position and then up. Front this
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: is kind of lines up to be the year That
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: David stone becomes a.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Star we'll.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: See he was a five star recruit out of high
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: school who's kind of been playing back up the last
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: couple of years and has made a lot of. Plays
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: but he's going to be a starter now Alongside jade
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: And jackson at defensive, tackle and they look really solid
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: across the. Board at the starting positions ARE nfl. Guys
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the question is the, depth AND i don't think they're
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: as deep as they were a year ago when they
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: had a rotation of four really good, tackles and so
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: staying healthy defensively is gonna be important this. Year if
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: those eleven and maybe thirteen guys could stay, healthy this
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: has a chance to be one of the best defenses
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: in the. Country if they absorb a few, injuries that
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: could be a different.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Story i've taken it down the home stretch with all
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the other guys by asking about the. Schedule a couple
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: of different, questions and one is a more generic macro
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: question about the nine game conference schedule on your overview on.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: That the other thing is looking at The sooner. Schedule
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: in some ways it almost matches The texas schedule, because
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: unlike several of the other, schools Both texas And oklahoma
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: start with the three non conference. Games both play a high, caliber,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: profile high Profile Big ten. School you'll be up in
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Ann arbor at The Big house for The michigan. Game
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Ohio state will be here on the same. Day both
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: play institutions in The university Of texas system long runs OF.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Utsa The sooners HAVE, utep and then you also Have
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: New mexico And texas Has Texas. State So The michigan
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: game is obviously a huge bell, weather it's a big,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: thing but yet it is still non, conference AND i
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: would imagine that Coach venables looks at that in a
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: similar way to the way That sark approaches The Ohio state. Game,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: absolutely you want to win, it and it gives you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a leg up on your direction and path headed toward the.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Playoffs but if you, look, oh it's not. Suicidal it
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Doesn't it doesn't kill. You just playing the game certainly.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: HELPS i think it's the trump.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Card you, know if you win a big non conference,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: game when you add it all up at the end
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: of the, year maybe that is what gets you.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: In and that's what happened last year FOR.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Ou they won that non conference game Against michigan and
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: then went ten and, two and that was good enough
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: to get. In, no it's not the end of the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: world if you lose, it but it puts a lot
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: of pressure on. You the story of THE ou schedule
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: is the first five games this. YEAR i, mean they they,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: have Like, texas one of the tougher schedules in the,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: country but it's so front. Loaded At michigan In week,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: two At georgia to OPEN sec play and then the
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: game after that Is texas In.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Dallas so three.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Of their first five games are against teams, ranked and
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: two of those in the top, five and the two
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: top teams in the PRESEASON Sec pole and none of
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: them are In. Norman so the Thing i've been saying
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: is if they could win two of those, three AND
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: i don't know if it matters which, two but if
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: they could win two of those, three they put themselves
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: in a really great position for the back half of
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the schedule to be a playoff. Team not that it gets,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: easy there's still some land mines in. There they got
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: to go To, florida they Got, TEXAS a AND m And.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Norman but the.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Confidence you would have coming out of that first half
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: of the schedule if you could win two of those
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: three would be a pretty good. Catapult so but, BOY i,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: mean it's they're gonna be underdogs at least right now
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: in all three of those. Games they're a slight underdog At,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: michigan they'll be an underdog In, athens and they're an
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: underdog right now against The. Longhorns so they've got to
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: survive the first half of the, schedule and if they,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: do then potentially they could be a playoff.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Team, again it's almost. Uncanny holly's schedules great because text
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: on the same day that The sooners are In, Athens
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Long wornes are In, knoxville and then both have the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: open date and then they face one. Another SO i
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: think it's, very very. Similar how do you feel overall
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: about the nine game conference?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Schedule you, KNOW i think of things as as a
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: fan and for, myself LIKE i love. It from an entertainment,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: value good on, them you, KNOW i understand if you're
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: trying to do the math about trying to make a
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: playoff and absorbing losses and all that kind of, stuff
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: maybe it makes it harder and we'll figure that out
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: as we. Go maybe they're going to expand the playoff
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: and hopefully all the conferences will be on an even.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Footing but from an entertainment, aspect the MORE sec games the.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Better and kudos To texas And oklahoma for maintaining this
• 18:55
