Good evening. How are you Evan? I am so excited to be

0:35
I want to open by telling you, guys something. The owner of this
0:39
station mid game last week came busting into the press box so excited to tell
0:47
me about the number of listeners that this show drew in to his pregame show.
0:53
Guys. Congratulations, welations boys, Congratulations guys, it's really Evan's voice
1:02

driving the car. ESPN Game Day's next, Phyllis, that's fine. Here's
1:11
our target, Dusty Duport, check Danny Canal if we can beat there.
1:17
Oh yeah, they're pretty good. They're pretty good. Yeah yeah, but
1:21
I think we're better. I think we are too. Absolutely, Pat McAfee,
1:25
here we come. You better look out. Oh buddy, Now,
1:26
I think most people know I've been releasing this deal on Thursdays, so do
1:32
we want to pick a Thursday game knowing that some of this air's Friday.
1:37
Sure, absolutely, yeah, okay, so so well, yeah, so
1:42
we're going so FYI if you're listening, this game may have already happened,
1:47
depending on when you're listening to us. So we'll start out with Kney Valley
1:51
at the Trojans are at Wine Doots, our first kind of Thursday night game
1:53
across the area. Trojans Man. They came close homecoming last week against Haskell
1:59
lost Haymakers twenty to twelve. Wind Dot they barely beat Oklahoma Union thirty two
2:06
to twenty nine. So the Bears will want to know Kenny Valley at wind
2:08
Dot tonight first game. I got a little information on the Oklahoma Union cookers
2:13
this year. Oh, I want to hear it. And do we want
2:15
to wait till their game or you want to go ahead? Well, they've
2:17
got a lot of kids out, Okay, so that's a good deal.
2:20
They're not pretty seven. Yeah, continue to increase, which is which is
2:23
good. But the problem is that they are still very very young. Yeah,
2:29
and they're really having a hard time with experience right now. But they're
2:32
getting those kids out, so they're gonna get better each week. But the
2:37
problem is they're so far behind because they're young, and also some of these
2:40
kids haven't haven't even played before. You know, this is their first time
2:44
ever to get on the football field. But they you know, they were
2:47
competitive last week against wind Up Black Bears, gotta beat thirty two twenty nine
2:53
and uh, Kenny Valley guys, they're they're gonna get a little better this
2:58
week as well. You know, they got hammered in week one. Week
3:00
two homecoming, they were competitive, got twenty twelve against the Haskell Haymakers.
3:06
Uh, this week should be a good game again. That Kenny Valley is
3:10
gonna win this game tonight. Philis I agree, I'm taking them. I
3:14
like it. I like it a lot too. Yeah. Are you sure
3:17
they're the Black Bears. They're the Bears? Call them black Bears. Okay,
3:22
they're just the Bears. They're just the Bears. Out of all that,
3:25
that's what you're doing. Well, I'm still he knows and Pawnee is
3:30
a Black Bears. Oh boy. So if they played yeah Battle of the
3:35
Bears, Yep. I agree with you. Those young kids they got hammered.
3:39
I always like seeing how kids and teams respond to adversity, came out
3:46
Pahaska obviously was the better team that night. That was a not a good
3:50
night, demoralizing. Yeah, and they come back. Haskell is pretty good.
3:53
Yeah, Haskell's always being good the hay Makers. So I'm gonna start
3:59
calling my Scots every time I can think of it. But came out lost
4:01
twenty to twelve, and this is really there. I am also taking Kenny
4:08
Valley. I think they beat him. Yeah, I like it. Uh
4:11
with night Train Lane, I don't know if you guys have heard him.
4:14
He's on KYFM. I know batchment him because he did color with me at
4:17
Book or Team remember him. He was a book public address announcer for like
4:21
forty years he's been anyway, he picked that game this morning on her sister
4:26
station, KYFM, and he said that wine dot is they're saying as if
4:30
you're not in the dot, you aren't squat. Oh Train said that at
4:34
night Train said, you have another show with other friends. We have another
4:38
radio stations up here, Craig, So you have four shows. Yeah,
4:43
yeah, unlimited amounts of shows. And apparently he does one with night Train.
4:46
Well, there's only one that matters, So that's all we care.
4:48
Well, there's only one going global training. He's probably not talking about that
4:53
on the other show. No, he talks a lot of Kansas football night
4:56
Train, Yeah he does, he does. He does a similar thing.
5:00
Do you gout? You guys? Should we don't podcast his You have to
5:02
listen to his life. He has a contract and that's the whole thing.
5:04
Oh boy, what was the name like that? Yeah? What is his
5:08
contract? Can't we come up with the name? Train is a cool names.
5:12
Train Lane is a good name, and he's got a great pa voice.
5:15
I'm telling you. Yeah, Friday mornings like six six forty. If
5:18
you want to listen to that, you should hear when they take the field.
5:24
It's cool anyway, So did all of you guys taken? Yeah we
5:28
did. Good luck. So what was the nicknames off step brothers? Remember
5:33
when I remember, Yeah, I'm gonna Nighthawk. I think I'm gonna be
5:39
nighthawk. Yeah. Can you guys just refer to me as night But it's
5:42
gotta go with Tate, It's gotta be you know, we'll think of it.
5:46
Okay, Kenny, Kansas. Our next ball game, bull Pups are
5:49
at home against Humboldt. Kanye is one to know. They beat Eerie last
5:53
week fifty two six. Humboldt beat Fredonia seventy eight to nothing. Last week
6:00
Humboldt beat Kenny a year ago, twenty eight nothing. So Kenny at home
6:03
against Humboldt. So we all three got the candy pick right, the pubs
6:08
coming out of the gate one and zero. Man, that's gonna be a
6:13
shootout. So you had a fifty to six victory and a seventy eight nothing
6:16
victory and they're home, they are home. Give me the pups, taking
6:24
the pups. I'm taking them this. You probably know more about Humboldt than
6:29
any of us were Scots. Seventy eight points. Actually wrote it on the
6:31
sheet for you there. Yeah, the Ups. They scored seventy eight points.
6:35
So many times they may scored seventy eight points. They obviously can score.
6:40
Yeah, I mean Ferdonia is not a terrible school. Traditionally. I
6:44
don't know a lot about them this year, but traditionally they they're typically competitive.
6:48
So Humboldts obviously got a good football team this year. Bull Pups win
6:53
fifty six. This is exactly what we talked about. They do it every
6:56
single year. They come out of the Gate. They're gonna win, you
6:58
know so, But I do think they have a challenge tonight against Humboldt,
7:04
and I'm going to go against the grain here and I'm gonna take humbold okay
7:11
enough just to be just to be a little bit different, all right,
7:15
all right, well Nighthawk, that's me. I agree. Who are you
7:20
taking? Nighthawk? I am taking Humboldt. They've got a really good quarterback
7:25
round for a lot of yards last week, good athlete. I think it's
7:30
gonna be a tough one, but it's at home. It's gonna be a
7:32
close one. Competitive, But I am going with Humboldt, all right,
7:36
Copin trying to get its first win. The Hornets are at Foil tonight,
7:41
Copin. I want to talk about this for a moment. They lost at
7:45
home last week twenty eight to twenty six to Welch, and I sent you
7:49
guys the video fella for Copan. They converted a fourth and thirty at one
7:57
point to set themselves up with a chance at one shot towards the end zone.
8:01
They completed the pass and it was like a one on one situation.
8:05
The Copan guy was trying to joke out a defender near the goal line and
8:11
did and he and did juked him out, and then he juked himself out.
8:13
He fell down at the two yard line. Had he stayed on his
8:18
feet, Copan would be one and one. But last they lost to Welch
8:22
at home twenty eight to twenty six. That was a game they lost last
8:24
year if you remember, fifty to six. And now they are taking on
8:28
a Foil club that is one and one. If you remember, Foil beat
8:31
South Coffeeville two weeks ago fifty to nothing. They lost to Barnesdall last week
8:35
fifty two to seven. The South Coffeeville game means absolutely nothing to me because
8:41
I didn't even know they were still playing football after they separated from Barnesville Westland,
8:46
So I mean none, I had no idea. Yeah, So that
8:52
that means absolutely nothing to me. But something that does mean something to me
8:56
is Copan horners are starting roll boys. You know they're getting They're some kids
9:00
that are playing. They're playing confidence. I know they're o and two,
9:03
but they're competitive games are games that they should have won. All they do
9:05
is need to win that one and that one will be tonight. They will
9:09
beat Foil tonight. Yeah, I agree with you. I think that Barnstall,
9:16
I think that was I mean, we all picked it that it was
9:18
gonna be a closer game, but it was gonna go to Barnstall. Ye
9:20
have. Last week they fought back. They I love watching them play because
9:26
they just, I mean, they just they don't quit. Coming from coach
9:31
Foreman, that's right. So I am picking them over a foil, and
9:35
I think it's going to be fourteen twenty one points. I agree. I
9:39
do too, a girl, And I gotta tell you, we know for
9:43
sure that we have one coach that listens to this show, because he told
9:48
us on Facebook that he does, and so I am. But that's not
9:50
why we're picking him. It isn't. But I am pulling hard for him.
9:54
And I'll tell you something else. His son's the quarterback, right,
9:56
That kid is a behemoth yea watching that video having said, that kid that
10:01
threw that pass was gigantic, and I like that kid. I liked me
10:05
a big old quarterback, So I'm taking yeah. I like I like Copan
10:11
big quarterbacks and he's just a sophomore. I love it. He's got two
10:16
more years ago. I love what Copan is doing. I'm telling you,
10:20
and I'm I'm rooting for him all the way. I think coach Coach Foreman
10:24
has been around so much football. I mean he I don't know how long
10:26
he's coached, but you know, I know that he's coaching the bars Bell
10:31
area, whether youth or high school level, for twenty something years and he's
10:33
always had a winning team. Yeah, yeah, he's he's good, right,
10:37
all right. Wesleyan Christian School at Claremore Christian Tonight Mustangs or They lost
10:45
to Webber's Falls last week, a fifty six to twenty seven. Talking with
10:50
Kurt Cloud, Kale Seamers is their quarterback for a few weeks, while tyrolle
10:56
Cloud their quarterback from the last several years. Heels up is non throwing in
11:00
hand and he said they really struggled an offense. He said, you move
11:03
your number one wide receiver to quarterback. All of a sudden, someone's playing
11:07
wide receivers not usually there. They have to have a new lineman and they're
11:11
moving a lineman or running back. And it's the same type of deal on
11:13
the defensive sides. He says, you look in the field and there's like
11:16
six guys playing different positions as usual. I said, they really struggled to
11:22
execute offensively in the first half, but he thought it got better. Fifty
11:26
yards offense in the first half had about two hundred and the second they'd end
11:28
up losing. As I mentioned to Webber's Falls by twenty nine, and they're
11:33
taking on a non ossa a school, and you, guys, is a
11:35
favorite Claremore High School Claremark Christian do either? Does anybody know where Claremore Christian
11:41
is? I think it's in Claremore. Oh, okay, it's idiots at
11:46
Church of Christs. Ninehawks. Thinks we're idiots. It doesn't matter. Kill
11:56
Seamers could go out and win this game by him. Agree. I mean
12:00
that's and may and should. Yeah, go out there and let kill take
12:05
over because he is good. It doesn't matter where you put him. He's
12:09
going to be the best player on the field and he's gonna have a fantastic
12:13
game. Just Westland, hang on, get to get the quarterback. Healed
12:18
up. You'll be just fine. I agree. And I heard from some
12:20
people that went to the game that Weber's falls is was really good. Yeah,
12:26
and so Weber's Falls is good. Fifty six twenty seven actually isn't you
12:30
know? Isn't crazy bad or anything. I think Western Christian will be fine.
12:33
I'm bad, all right, everyone takes the Mustangs. There was God
12:43
I was saving this. It's so there's a coach of saying, and you
12:46
know this, it's not about the exes and ohs, but about the Jimmy's
12:50
and Joe's. And Westland's gonna have the Jimmy's and Joe's tonight. So all
12:54
that changing around with the quarterback and receiver, they're gonna have the best player
12:58
on the field tonight and it's gonna show. That's right good, You're right.
13:01
I wonder where this game is at at Christian. Where do they play
13:07
their games? It's we're gonna figure that out for all our listeners because they're
13:16
just we'll figure out where Christian plays their games. Is that what you're saying?
13:20
Exactly? Yeah? And is it also a softball field? It could
13:24
be, and a baseball field it could be. I actually know where Summit
13:28
Christians a football field is. And they're hosting Barnes Doll tonight. Panthers for
13:31
two and oh they beat Foil last week fifty two to seven. We've been
13:35
talking about Easton Malone. He had three hundred yards on the ground last week
13:39
or two weeks ago, I guess it was now last week Malone had one
13:43
hundred and forty three yards rushing, three touchdowns on five carries. Oh so
13:50
he didn't go over He didn't know, but he only hadn't had five carries.
13:54
He had three touchdowns for about twenty seven a pop. Yeah, I'm
13:58
not smart guy. Uh. Barnes Doll still running to quarterbacks Lincoln Gott Brandon
14:03
Buyer's Summit Christian as Owen two. They lost handily to Drumwright and Garber as
14:09
Barnstall tries to get to three and oz and broken arrow at Summit Park or
14:13
Summit Christian plays their football games. Yeah, Stashes all the way. I've
14:16
already told you guys, it's it's gold ball season for the Stashes. Especially
14:22
with this Malone kid. I would love to see him play. I wonder
14:24
if there's a wonder if there's going to be a time when Bocus is on
14:28
the road that we could head over to Barnstall. This kid is legit.
14:31
Yeah, I want to see it. So when we all lost, we
14:35
did because we said the over Yeah, we said over him. If we
14:39
didn't know, I know, we didn't know he wouldn't play it. After
14:43
the first five minutes they were three touchdowns. And that's incredible. That's this
14:46
is what we need to do, is agree it's almost outbundant. I know
14:48
we need to go watch and practice. We need to pick high school.
14:52
Absolutely, we can go in and and I mean real mysterious of who's up
14:58
there watching no go down? How did you get his press credentials to the
15:03
barnstall practices? I think I can work out. Have you guys ever work
15:07
out security guys? Ever seen Kylie Sweeney? Oh? Yeah, either of
15:11
you guys. He's huge. He's all four of us wouldn't be as big
15:15
as he is. Exactly what his biceps he is. He's huge, and
15:22
he wears. He wears, he wears cut hurt. Don't he can't.
15:26
Don't make him. Don't makes into a T shirt, don't make nighthawks feel
15:31
worse than he already feels. He's got a hurt hobo. So does everyone
15:35
take? Yeah? I think so too. All right, let's go to
15:39
Oklahoma. Union Cougars mentioned they lost that tough one to wind Dot last week
15:45
thirty two, twenty nine, twelve losses in a row now still looking for
15:48
that first win since twenty twenty one. They're at Commerce Commerces oh and two.
15:54
They lost Woodland last week forty two to seven. They lost a closer
15:58
game to a club out of Missouri during the zero week. Man, I
16:03
like Union here. I'm telling you, I agree with what you said,
16:07
Rev and Evan with the numbers, and I'm it's gonna click, it's gonna
16:12
flip. And going against the oh and two team that got beat up pretty
16:15
good last week is probably the chance, I hope. So you know,
16:22
I think Oklahoma Union's on a fourteen or fifteen game losing streak twelve. It's
16:26
in the twelve twelve game, all right, So that's tough. They're having
16:33
a hard time. That's tough. And you know it's Commerce. I don't
16:37
know anything about the Missouri team, but I do know that Woodland is good.
16:41
Yeah, we don't mean they're they're pretty good. So and this is
16:44
at Commerce, and that's tough for these kids to go on the road and
16:48
uh play at Commerce. So I'm gonna take Commerce Tigers. I believe.
16:53
Let's fact check that they are fact checked it right now. Please commence Tigers,
16:59
blue and yellow. I am excited for Oklahoma Union, but I don't
17:04
think they're going to get their first win tonight. I think it's gonna happen
17:08
week four, week five, once they get in district. I think Commerce
17:12
at home, Commerce is God. They're just they're a good program up there.
17:18
Wind out well to all of them. They've had some great players coming
17:21
out there that went out and played some Division one football. I'm going Commerce,
17:26
but I'm not down on Oaklahoma Union. I think they've got a good
17:30
team. I think they're young, they got the numbers. I think it's
17:32
gonna click, but just not this week. Speaking of Commerce, and you
17:36
said Division one players, who is the last Division one player to come out
17:40
of Commerce? I can they get the last one that came out of Welch
17:44
and Lena Paul? But I don't know Commerce. His last name was Coyer
17:48
and he played at TU. He tied in at TU. You know who
17:52
the most famous? His daddy was Chris Collyer one state championship one time at
17:57
some small school. I've got some really bad news. What's that? They
18:02
are the Tigers? They are and they are blue? And how do you
18:06
know that? Though about Callier? Chris Carrier was a hit football coach at
18:10
do it at one time? Oh, I got you? Okay, can
18:12
I tell you what the first Uh? Can I tell you what? The
18:15
first thing that pops up on Google is commerce high School, childhood home of
18:22
Mickey Mantle. Yeah, in fact, that's fact, no doubt. I
18:25
didn't know that. You didn't know that. Wow, that's wild. Yeah,
18:27
welcome to Oklahoma. Nor we educate our listeners as well. We do.
18:30
We are you know Mickey Mantle played dungeons. I sent me knew that.
18:34
Yeah, yeah, all right, Let's go on to the next ball
18:37
game. Battle of the Osage right here. Sports Talk ninety nine point one
18:42
FM, KPGM Video Covertage KPGMTV dot com. Bajaska at Hominy. All of
18:48
a sudden, this looks like it's going to be a heck of a ball
18:52
game. Bahuska blew out cash And last week fifty four to six. Two
18:56
weeks in a row, the Huskies have had a running clock in the second
18:59
half. I think it was fifty nothing or forty eight nothing at halftime something
19:03
like that. Last week Hominy's two and oh beat Kellyville fifty forty nothing,
19:07
Cleveland forty one to twelve. Bahuska has not beaten Hominy since twenty twenty.
19:15
The Bucks have won the last two by pretty close margins one last year twenty
19:18
seven, twenty two and a two point win in twenty twenty one. I
19:22
love game of the Week. It is and I love games that have a
19:26
name Battle of the O Sage. And they've been publicizing it on the radio
19:30
all week. That is shit. Yeah right, yeah, this is gonna
19:34
be a great game. I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna ask you guys
19:37
a favor. I don't want to pick first here because I have no idea
19:41
who to take. I want to listen to you, guys. I got
19:45
a pretty good idea because Husky Huskies are for real this year. Boys.
19:48
I'm not sure they're not better this year than what they've been the last two
19:52
years. They're great. They are they are. Are you going to the
19:56
first half of this game? You know what? That's not a bad idea.
20:00
I haven't thought about that, But that's not a bad idea. Is
20:03
that his first? I think? So? The problem is this might be
20:11
such a good this is like a second half game. I will watch that
20:15
game, yes, because I really want to watch the Hyman kid play.
20:19
I may stream it while doing pa for Barblon. That's a good idea too.
20:23
But this this is gonna be a great game. I think Huska is
20:27
gonna win this game in a close game that's gonna come down to special teams.
20:32
Okay, and coach Craig take right over here. The Nighthawk said it
20:37
in week zero about the Puska Husky special teams. While they do every time
20:41
they score touchdown, uh, they go to that swinging, swinging gate.
20:45
They're going for two. He's coach, He's gonna line up in something crazy.
20:49
And that's what's gonna win this game, is the two point conversion.
20:52
He's not gonna kick an extra point, He's going for two. I agree
20:56
with you. I think Pahuska wins it. I think it's a little bit.
21:00
I think it's seven to fourteen point game. Though. I think Plastica's
21:03
defense is They've had some great teams over the last two or three years,
21:07
but their defense is really really good. They fly the football and Hennessee,
21:12
you know, played at KSE State, Eve was a he was defense first.
21:17
And is he getting back to his roots and making that and realize that,
21:19
hey, yeah, we've been able to score points always we got to
21:22
get our defense on line. I think it's a twenty it could be a
21:26
twenty eight, twenty one ball game. I think it's great. Special teams,
21:32
freaking swinging gate. You know, there's like eight different things you can
21:36
do out of that. You got to practice. He did it surprise either
21:38
of you to see that that's what Dion is doing at Colorado. That's that's
21:44
exactly what they're doing. Well, not because you're gonna run it, ye,
21:47
but what happens. It takes practice time away from the defense that you're
21:52
There are literally eight different scenarios. You got to know them all, and
21:56
so that takes away instead of kicking extra point and you know you take three
22:00
or four snaps on a defense trying to block extra points. Yeah, but
22:03
when you have a swinging gate, that takes twenty minutes of your practice.
22:07
Not only that it takes time, but if it's if they just ran the
22:11
swinging gate on a two point conversion, or they run the swinging gate and
22:15
you know they may throw it, they may run it, or they may
22:18
just swing over and kick it. Coach Chennessey doesn't do that. No,
22:22
he lines up in all kinds of different formations down there's options, there's passes,
22:26
there's the center can go out for and catch the ball. So I
22:30
would never tell coach Tennessey. I have an upmost respect for Hennessey. But
22:34
when you coach against him versus Muskogee and he does that, and you know,
22:38
you're just like God and they always beat us. But we implement it.
22:42
That was my trick play in youth football. Yeah, and they could
22:47
never get it because the center can go out for a pass because he's uncovered,
22:52
so he snap the ball, you throw it to him. It's tough
22:53
to cover. But he has so many different version versions of it. But
22:56
here's a deal. You can't just say, Okay, when they score,
23:00
they're gonna do this because he's not afraid to do it at the fifty.
23:03
He ain't scared. Now, it doesn't matter. He'll line up in it
23:07
on first and ten or third and two, it doesn't matter. Well,
23:11
I'm gonna take the Huskies. And not only because of everything you guys have
23:15
said, but I think we can all agree and have seen it over the
23:21
last couple of years. If coach Fantasy sets his mind to beating somebody that
23:26
continues to beat him, he's not only going to do it. He's gonna
23:30
put it to him, that's right. Yeah, and he is not gonna
23:33
like the fact that they have not been able to beat these guys in three
23:36
and it's ad hominy. It's a homony, that's everything. But Homedy's got
23:41
a great program. They all of a sudden telling you, w coach Harmon
23:45
left hominy. I think probably a lot of coaches dot man, it was
23:49
coach Harmon. Yeah, they had some really good athletes, but they didn't
23:55
miss a beat. That's a program tradition there, Yeah, a lot of
23:57
tradition. And they are they hominy bucks. Yep, all right, Dewey
24:03
Tonight Krigg one on four point nine video coverage krigtv dot com. Bulldoggers played
24:08
in the Game of the Week last week. They were down twelve. Nothing
24:11
looked like Nowada might get their first win over the Bulldoggers since twenty fifteen.
24:18
But do we scored fifteen unanswered and the second half took the lead. In
24:22
the fourth quarter, Nowada had a chance, had the ball at midfield but
24:26
fifty seconds left, but could not come from behind to win it. Dowe
24:29
beat the Ironman fifteen to twelve. They are at a o end one.
24:33
Vanita club Hornetts fell to JA last week thirty to eighteen. Evidently did lose
24:38
quite a bit to graduation. Vanitas won three straight in the series. Last
24:42
Bulldogger victory in the set came in twenty nineteen. I want to hear from
24:47
our boots on the ground that had eyes on the Bulldoggers, his former team,
24:52
his former school. But I gotta tell you when I announced that we
24:56
wanted to, you know, give scores of note from the area, and
25:00
when we announced that No Water was leading that game twelve, oh, you
25:03
should have heard the murmur in the crowd with the score came up. Everybody
25:07
was really really thinking No Water was gonna get it done. So let's say
25:11
first, let's let's talk just a minute about No Water. Excuse me.
25:17
Nowater is not bad, guys. They are much improved. Their quarterback,
25:21
Emerson's his name. He's a good looking kid. He can run the ball,
25:26
which I really wish they would have ran anymore. And they've got a
25:30
running back that's good. Got got one receiver that's that's really good. He's
25:34
number ten. I don't know what his name is, but he's really good.
25:37
He caught a ninety six yard touchdown pass. But that kid can play.
25:41
He can also play defensively, got deep a big defensive line that is
25:45
just a man child in there. So I watched the game, was there
25:51
till halftime, and I thought, there's no water is going to run away
25:56
with this thing in the second half. We talked about it on the show
25:57
that you know, he was gonna get hot, They're gonna retired, hadn't
26:00
played, hadn't played a game yet, So I thought, you know,
26:03
this game, this games over. Bulldogers couldn't move the ball very well.
26:08
They kept you know, had some turnovers, kept shooting themselves in the foot,
26:12
and just all the things that you would expect in a in a first
26:17
game and or scrimmage. So they didn't look very good. Second half.
26:23
I went to the Bartlesville game, watched the doing game on my phone.
26:26
They scored their first touchdown on a double pass, got up some momentum as
26:32
market. Yeah, because they can't do anything. Yeah, they needed to
26:34
think for about a fifty yard touchdown past a little double pass. Did they
26:38
go for two? Is that how they got fifteen points? On answer?
26:41
You know, I still don't know, because I think there was safety or
26:45
it's something weird. Something happened. I'm not real sure what happened because my
26:51
phone was buffering and I lost that part. Yeah, they in a long
26:56
time. It was thirteen twelve and then the final was fifty twelve. Yeah.
27:00
Well, in the fourth quarter, dude gets ball about. Oh,
27:04
I don't know, it's about the thirty or so, and they put together
27:07
a six play drive that I'm watching on my phone. It was yes,
27:12
my thirty and it was impressive. I mean, Moneger hit three different receivers.
27:21
The little Davis kid, guys, he's just a sophomore. He plays
27:25
their inside receiver. I bet he had seven or eight catches, and he's
27:29
good. He can fly around. What about the big tall receiver. Uh,
27:33
he had one good catch that I saw. They had a hard time
27:36
getting him the football. Look like Nowater was pressing him a little bit and
27:41
he was having a hard time getting off the presses. Uh. But regardless,
27:45
they go down and just score and the ending of it was wild.
27:48
Guys, this is what happened. It's fourth and I think eight seven or
27:55
eight inside the twenty. Noat of course goes for it. It's there a
28:00
minute left go in the game. Know what A fumbles the football Dowe.
28:04
He picks the ball up, takes off running Dow. He fumbles the ball
28:08
back. So now know what has got the ball again? First down?
28:15
Yes, stripped on the second funnel. I don't know what happened. You
28:18
know, the camera wasn't all that great, but he fumbled the balls to
28:22
get it. So they got another chance to try to win. The game
28:26
ended up coming up short. But both teams are definitely improved, especially the
28:34
Ironman. I was They're gonna win win some games this year, so I'm
28:37
excited for them. Bulldoggers are just gonna get better. This week, they're
28:41
playing the Vaneta Hornets. Vania Hornets graduated a lot of kids, but they're
28:45
still very athletic guys. They lost their whole coaching staff left. Matt Williams
28:52
and Jeff Williams brothers both left, so I don't know who the new coach
28:56
is or anything like that, but I know they are very athletic. He's
29:00
gonna win do He's going to Vanita, playing on the brand new turf there
29:06
Vanita Hornets. It's gonna be a challenge for him. I mean, because
29:10
they Banitas got a lot of speed. I hate to pick against my Bulldoggers.
29:15
But I'm gonna have to take really, I just don't think they can
29:19
keep up with with the speed of the Vanita Hornets. I think now that
29:25
they've got a game under their belt. Yeah, you could tell the difference
29:29
in the second half last week. You know, we knew that that they
29:33
were gonna come out, you know off, Yeah, because they've been sitting
29:37
so long. I like, I like the Bulldoggers. I got a bright
29:40
season. I think it's a bright season. They're just so young and inexperience
29:45
at the skill positions right now. They just they got a hard time.
29:51
Yeah, but they got a monitor at quarterback. He's you know, he's
29:55
a really good leader. I mean, guy shows both those I mean those
29:59
monitors boys, they just grow up being quarterbacks and great leaders. And I
30:03
think that showed last week versus Nowata who after they beat Chelsea week one,
30:07
you know, I my stock went way up on No Watta. I picked
30:12
Nowata last week. I'm on Dewey bandwagon. Now I think they beat Vanita.
30:18
I don't. I hope they do. I don't think Vanita is as
30:21
good as No Watt. I think Chelsea would beat Vanita by twenty Oh.
30:26
I'm yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm also I want to I want
30:30
to say, I know they're off this week, but I'm also on the
30:33
nowatter bandwagon. I that's impressive that they came out and did that at first
30:37
half. It's it's impressive. See what that young coach is doing over there.
30:41
I mean, he's he's coaching those kids up right, I mean they
30:44
are, They're doing a lot of good things. I Mean it's for for
30:48
such for a guy who's just been ahead football coach this this second year.
30:52
You know, some of the things that he's doing in decisions he's making u
30:55
within the game is is pretty impressive. I mean it's he's doing a good
31:00
well. And that's why I'm very impressed with the Dewey win last week,
31:03
to come to come from behind the first game. So Nighthawk is pick and
31:08
Dewey. Okay, all right, final game. We'll talk about high school
31:11
wise, Bartlesville and Sepulpa tonight from Custer Stadium. Bruins lost a tough one
31:17
a week ago against Claremore twenty eight twenty seven, so they're oh and one.
31:22
Sepulpa's one and one beat Taliquad. We're down sixteen and half came back
31:26
and beat Taliquad home forty one to thirty eight. They lost to sand Spring
31:32
sixty four fifty four, one hundred and eighteen points in that Highway ninety seven
31:37
rivalry is twenty four points more than those two teams that ever scored against one
31:42
another combined in like a hundred years. So that was a shootout of epic
31:47
performance portions there. I wanted to mention last time Bartlesville beat Sepulpa my color
31:51
commentator Kyle Pools, the Bruins head coach. That was that twenty seventeen Bartlesville
31:56
season. Bruins ended up going one and nine. If you remember, they
32:00
actually beat McAllister the first week, and then they had to forfeit that game,
32:02
which I forgot. I was looking at it and I was like,
32:05
didn't they beat McCalister, And I remember they had to forfeit it because of
32:07
some eligibility issue. So they ended up and they knew that going into Supulpa.
32:13
They ended up beating some Wood but nine to two. Late in that
32:15
season. I remember coach mckeeno, we're not talking about Bruins soccer, no
32:21
talking about football, game baseball, baseball. It was football. We actually
32:25
that night. I remember coach McKee texting me before that ball game. He
32:30
says, I'm listening to my first football game on the radio tonight, and
32:32
I said, okay, well, and then Bartlesville wouldn't up winning nine to
32:37
two. So anyway, it's the last time to Bruin's beat. Well,
32:42
let's go back to week one, so Pulpa and sand Springs, and I
32:45
talked to Bobby Clink the next morning at sand Springs because third grade youth football,
32:51
which we'll talk about here, and remember what do we beat sand Springs
32:53
said nothing? But I so coach cra Craper is the DC and at sand
33:00
Springs, and of course Clink. Tim Holt is at Sapulpa. He's an
33:04
ex Barswell, guy, I'm telling you they've got some offensive weapons. I
33:08
was talking to Craverer, who coached here as well. He was a DC
33:10
here. It's a craver. How do you give up that many points?
33:14
Seriously, he goes, hey, it doesn't matter what we won, but
33:15
he goes, hey, they are loaded offensively. Holt does a really good
33:19
job offensively. Came from Coweda to Sapulpa. Obviously, talk about the Barbsville
33:24
game last week. That's a tough loss. You know, Claire Moore,
33:28
I think is better than what we thought going in. You know, we
33:30
all picked Barzello last week, tough loss. I think this is gonna be
33:35
a tough night for Barbarsville as well. I think sub Pulpa, you know,
33:39
Barzela losing their quarterback, sub Pulpa, with their offensive weapons and just
33:45
their depth. They've got a lot of kids out and they've got a lot
33:47
of depths, so they're just gonna keep running through. I unfortunately, and
33:52
this pains me to say this, but I think I've got to go with
33:57
Supulpa to name Evan. What did Harry say on the on the Coaching Show
34:00
Wednesday about what they're going to do offensively? I mean it sounds like they'll
34:06
they'll. I mean, if you think about it, they rode p J.
34:08
Wallace when Nate Neil was in the ball game, right, They only
34:12
threw you know, Barb's only through six passes the entire game, So I
34:15
would guess you're going to see even more of that. You didn't get to
34:19
see Brett Eves run the ball any uh, probably just because they weren't prepared
34:24
to do that. I would guess he's going to do a little of that.
34:27
And I think with him back there being able to run, and also
34:30
that that other running backs, Stephen Williams who came in, They're just going
34:32
to try to try to get those three guys going on the ground and then
34:36
confuse sup pull up a little bit. I would not be surprised to say,
34:39
I mean, they're not gonna go wishbone, because that takes a long
34:42
time to implement. But I wouldn't be surprised to see them go with a
34:45
lot of pistol with three backs, with Aidan Pugh playing fullback and Stephen Williams
34:53
also in the in the backfield along with p J. Wallace. I'll bet
34:59
they do all three of those running backs together and I'm not sure it won't
35:02
work. Is that a lot of Burger bet that we'll see some pistol with
35:07
all three of those. I'd be tough put three backs back there. I'm
35:10
just telling you that with that offense, the biggest surprise of the game in
35:15
my opinion last week was Stephen Williams. He had a long touchdown run where
35:21
he smoked everybody. Was that in the second half? Did you see that?
35:23
And and he burst through the line and was gone. And so I
35:30
wouldn't be surprised to see them put him back there more. I don't.
35:34
I'm taking the Bruins like always. I'm always gonna be Brewined, loyal and
35:38
true and I but I'm telling you, I also think that they'll I also
35:45
think that they'll have bred Eve's throw a little more. He threw only two
35:50
passesdown. One was really nice ball. It was a beautiful ball. The
35:54
second one he was highly under pressure on the run and just kind of threw
35:59
it up. It was the end of the game. It was the end
36:00
of the game. I think he could throw it. And so I'm not
36:04
saying they're gonna throw it twenty times, but I you know right away that
36:10
Sepolpa is gonna have eleven guys on the line. I mean they are going
36:15
to try to stop the run. Yeah, and so he will try.
36:17
I think early on they will try to throw him a little bit and there'll
36:21
be somebody open. Well, they have to they have to throw more than
36:24
six times to have any chance of this ball game. Because I promise that
36:28
Halt and Supulpa is gonna say Wallace is not gonna beat us. We're gonna
36:32
make the backup quarterback beat us. So you've got to get the kid comfortable,
36:37
which another week and then you know, another week of practice and a
36:40
lot more reps. I mean they're gonna have to But I do think there's
36:45
gonna be I mean, he can run a little bit too, So I
36:49
think you're gonna see a lot of misdirection, a lot of I mean,
36:52
Wallace, they've got to write him, but they've got to be successful on
36:54
some of those zone keeps and get him out on the corner. And then
36:59
also a passing option off those zone keeps, with the short passes, the
37:04
three to seven yards, the outs. So but I think this week,
37:08
I think it's I think it's tough for bart It's tough. Well, here's
37:12
my take on it, guys. Is the best defense for a offense like
37:17
Sapulpa that's loaded with athletes and all that good stuff, the best defense is
37:22
your offense. Yep, keep your offense on the field, run the ball.
37:27
I would make this the shortest game, Yeah, Bartlesville has ever played.
37:31
We're not gonna snap that ball unless there's under five seconds on that play
37:36
clock. Yeah, I'm gonna make their offense stand over on the sideline and
37:39
then we're gonna run the ball and hope we get three yards and I'll go
37:44
forward on fourth and one, three yards and a cloud of dust. That's
37:45
right, And I'm gonna make it the shortest game ever and keep their offense
37:51
off the field. Hope you break one run, play action, lose something.
37:55
But there's another aspect of this game that we need to consider. This
38:00
is just the second game that's a non district game. You cannot run p
38:05
J. Wallace thirty six times against the Paupa. He can't that That is
38:09
you have so much more football to play this year. The worst thing that
38:13
happened is that he get hurt, get banged up something. Somebody else has
38:19
got to step in. We gotta do something else. The second thing is
38:22
the quarterback through a very nice ball for a touchdown. I think it was.
38:27
It might have been his first pass this game. It wasn't. It
38:30
was beautiful. The second one that was the end of the game. He
38:34
was throwing it up, you know that type deal. And you guys talked
38:36
about him running the football. I don't disagree with you, but I would
38:40
do it very carefully because he's all they got. Yeah, you know,
38:45
I don't know who the number three is, but you do not want to
38:49
go into you know, your third guest. He had district play with your
38:54
third team quarterback. You know, I don't know how long the other kids
38:58
out for anything like that, but it's so they need to proceed with this
39:02
game with caution, Shorten the game as much as they can possibly and get
39:09
better on special teams. This week the special teams that that that hurt them.
39:15
They had some big kickoff returns and all that good stuff. It's four
39:17
to six weeks broken collar bone. You know, they do heal quickly.
39:22
Yeah, you hear guys coming back from broken collarbone all the time. It's
39:24
his off it's his off collar bone. He was. It was on the
39:29
interception when he tried to go tackle the guy. I know you guys probably
39:31
coached do not do that. Let if you throw an interception, don't try
39:37
to go be an ero, especially down there on the seven where it was
39:42
or whatever the guy was. I was always coaching the defense, and when
39:45
the quarterback they're an interception, I told both my defensive bands to go to
39:47
kill the quarterback because yeah, yeah, there's no flags on this, I
39:52
know exactly. Yeah, any I think this game is gonna be closer than
39:59
what you know, a lot of people are anticipating, just because they're body's
40:02
looking at it as going, oh, they got their backup quarterback. You
40:06
know it's okay. It's not though. I mean, I guarantee they've got
40:10
them and they're gonna be They're gonna be, you know, better this week.
40:14
But they have got to keep Spulpa's offense off the field. They have
40:17
to because they're gonna score point when they're on the field, they're gonna score
40:21
points. You're hoping for a turnover, you know something. Limit the big
40:23
place, Yeah, I mean that's the thing. They got a limit the
40:27
big place. Make Sepulpa have an eight to twelve play drive. Keep your
40:30
offense on the field. Uh. That's why you were ahead head coach right
40:35
there, because he's listen to keep listen. Nighthawk came right out and made
40:38
a pick. Are you gonna make a pick? Yeah? I think I
40:42
think Bordesville is gonna win this game at home tonight. If this was at
40:47
Supulpa, I would take Subpulpa. But at home, I've just I got
40:52
I feel really energy is going to be there. I think the energy is
40:54
gonna be there. I think Coach Wright's gonna have a great game plan.
40:58
I think they're gonna be better a lot of areas this week, and I
41:04
like them. Okay, I really do you know some numbers from last week?
41:08
I'll just mention them. If you would have told me Bruins out gain
41:13
Claremore four forty three to two o nine. They had twenty one first downs
41:17
to clare Moore's thirteen, I would have probably thought, Yeah, that sounds
41:22
about right. Bruins win thirty five fourteen. Yeah, but I mean,
41:29
obviously, you guys were there, watched Claremore started every drive at the bruin
41:32
forty five, and Bartlesville started every drive at its own ten. And you
41:37
mix in a botched fumble on a snap or I botched a snap on a
41:42
punt, I'm sorry, and then a pick six and and then the extra
41:46
point. I think before I got there, they had a kickoff rand back
41:50
to Yeah it was. It was twenty one seven the third quarter, and
41:53
the three touchdowns Claremore scored as a pick six, the one off, the
41:58
fumbled punt snap at the twine, and the kick returned to the bruin thirty
42:01
exactly. And that's what scares me about some pulp. It is those big
42:05
plays, special teams, and that will be cleaned up, there's no doubt
42:08
Coach Wright and staff, great staff, they're going to fix that stuff.
42:12
But can they limit the big plays? And then offensively, can they change
42:17
there what they had set for the whole season? Can they change it to
42:21
where it's not the same offense that they've been braxted since? Yeah? How
42:27
many? Let's say they threw six passes the whole game. I mean they
42:30
too, I know for sure too. That's it in the second half.
42:32
They threw two in the sixth. It was a little more than that.
42:36
I can pull up the numbers. He was actually through two interceptions. He
42:38
threw one right when he first came in the game and then one at the
42:42
end as well. And then obviously Nate Neil had had one early. So
42:45
they actually lost the turnover battle three nothing and he and there were a couple
42:51
of pitch passes in there as well. I'm telling you, Mike Gundy has
42:54
said since he started coaching football that the team that wins turnovers wins the game
43:01
almost every single time. You cannot do that. You cannot lose. Yeah
43:07
that nothing. Yeah, that's football one on one. You can't lose turnover
43:09
battle. Officially, Eves is four of six eighty nine yards sixty seven of
43:14
those team in that one play, one touchdown on that past and ego two
43:17
picks. Neil was four of eleven for thirty nine and the picks. Yeah,
43:22
he and Neil had a twenty twenty five yard to throw over the middle
43:25
tiers. It went't a lot, but yeah, that that those were those
43:28
numbers are act. I don't think they have to change the game plan sports.
43:31
You know, are we going to draw up all this new stuff because
43:35
we got no, No, you ain't gotta do that. You're fine.
43:37
Now, it's just mesh points and all that. You know, when you
43:40
have a you know, a kid that didn't get as many reps with the
43:45
starting offense, and there's no doubt he got reps. But you know,
43:47
all that time in and mesh points from the quarterback to running backs is the
43:53
mesh points. I mean, all that timing starts to get thrown off a
43:57
little and it makes a big difference. I'm pretty sure on the touchdown,
44:00
correct if I'm wrong that he threw to Nicos sixty seven yards, there's play
44:05
action and he turned the wrong way. Uh yeah, the initially sad.
44:09
Yeah, he kind of went the wrong way, didn't flip back around,
44:13
and then he threw the touchdown sixty seventy. I'm not a beautiful ball.
44:15
Yeah, I agree with you guys, though, I bet we see some
44:19
misdirections some some you know, they may run eves a little bit that you
44:23
know on a naked bootleg, they may dump off to the fullback some.
44:27
I mean, yeah, I agree with you guys. Well, they love
44:30
running the zone. Yeah, so they're cautious. What's going to be backside
44:32
PG? Yeah, yeah, they need to be cautious with that kind of
44:37
like what you're talked about. I mean, these first three games are are
44:40
glorified scrimmages. Everybody wants to win them. But teams don't throw the panic
44:46
don't hit the panic alarm by not winning these non division games exactly it is
44:52
they I mean Week four was always our week one, That's what we called
44:55
it. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter what happens here. We are
