  Speaker 1: what else is going on around the SEC, but I

  Speaker 1: can tell you one thing. Kimball's Shustler is as deserving

  Speaker 1: is anybody in the conference for being SEC Player of
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the Week.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: It's a two.

  Speaker 1: Run game ending walk off homer and the Loghorns run
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: rule the Auburn Tigers and Kimball Schuschler was rewarded for
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: his efforts over the weekend. Good afternoon, everybody, Welcome to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the program here on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: My name is Craig Waite, Thanks for joining us. Highlight
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: montage so its spurtly crafted by the producer of this program,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Cameron D.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Parker.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: The D on the burst of certificate stands for Dallas,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: as in his favorite pro football team that he's giving
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the cold shoulder to these days for their misadventures and misdeeds.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: But the D could stand for any number of other things.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what other than the fact that the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Long Worners have delivered again another sweep as they sit
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: on top of the SEC baseball standings.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: And I think for the first time and I don't
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: know how many weeks, the number one team in college
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: baseball is the same number one as it was last
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: week because it's been so much overhaul the top of
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: the rankings as Texas has slowly climbed their way up
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: to number one. And after a perfect week including a
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: sweep of one of the hotter teams in the country
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: and the eighth ranked Dobin Tigers. What a weekend series
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: for the Texas long Gorns and now a real fun
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: one in Santa Marcus tomorrow night against Texas State. That's
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: always the labored action, that excellent baseball. And then I
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: forkid who's coming in next Oh, the Texas and m
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: agus well for their first conference series and quite some time.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: They are playing just as good as anybody else in
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the country.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah they are.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: They took two out of three from Arkansas in Fayetteville
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, and it's there's going to be There
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: was going to be great anticipation of the series. Even
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: if A and M would start a Conference play one
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and nine. They were one and nine in SEC play,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: but they've now won seven of their last eight SEC games,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: so they're eight and ten coming in and realistically, all
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: kinds of crazy things would have to happen for them
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to be a contender to win the conference time, but
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the mere fact that they flipped the script is kind
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: of put them back in the minds of people doing
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: projections and will run down some of those coming up.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: But the mere fact that they're hot and they're playing well,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that just adds to that. As as Cameron mentioned, Long
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Orange will play Texas State.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: That's there.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Only road midweek non conference game is tomorrow night at
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Bob cap Ballpark in San Marcus at say five forty
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: five pre game star time. It is a six o'clock
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: first pitch, which we will have for you on one
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: o three point one FM, and so that'll be tomorrow.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: More on that a little bit later.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things to get to and then
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to roll it back to college baseball after
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: our first break, but there's a lot of things to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: get to. NBA playoffs are underway. I would say you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: had to be pleased with a fifty one point margin
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: of victory for your team, the Oklahoma City Thunder and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: laying the Memphis Grizzlies to waste yesterday afternoon.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Playoff record largest game one victory in NBA history, and
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: there are seven points away from the largest playoff victory
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: overall in NBA history. And you know, I'll say this, Craig,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: the Grizzlies played two playing games. They went from Memphis
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: to Golden State to Dallas up the Oka C so
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: they played three games in what ninety six hours.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: And they got the host Dallas. But that's still what's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: going along Memphis back to Yea to Memphis, then a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: lot of travel. You could tell they were just tired,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: dead legs, weren't ready for it. But all in all,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: pretty embarrassing that a professional basketball team in the playoffs
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: loses like that. But hey, it's a testament to okac's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: depth and coaching. I mean, shake Gilders Alexander, who might
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: be the MVP this year. At least he was named
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to the top three finalists. He played awfully, he made
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: four shots from the floor in okase. He's still won
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: by fifty one points, So that kind of tells you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: how scary and how deep this OKAC team is and
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I think after watching the weekend of basketball, you know,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I feel a little bit better about their chances of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: making it to the NBA Finals and certainly contending. We'll
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: see what happens with Jason tatum'sself and the Boston Celtics.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: That was a tight game all the way up to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: about the third quarter in Boston able to use their
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: depth to run away from it.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: So we'll see about Tatum's risks. Hopefully he's okay. But
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: you know, Lakers did not look good defensive Timberwolves.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Which result was more surprising to you last night or
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: over the weekend Lakers Timberwolves or last night's Rockets Warriors?
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I would say Lakers t Wolves. I mean it's the
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: first playoff game for the Rockets, a really young team,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: you know, hosting Golden State, and Steph Curry, you know,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: had a crazy game and if not for STI being
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Steph Houston, you know, almost came back and won that game.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I think for me, I was more surprised by the
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: t Wolves and Lakers because the Wolves were just so
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: much more physical and looks so much more athletic than
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: the Lakers. Had A buddy text me that Luka Doncia's
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: defense is like the Golden Corral. It's always open. Yeah,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: and that's how it was. I mean, Luca just looked awful.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: He looked lost offensively, just lack of effort there. And
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: that series will probably go seven. I could see Rockets
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Warriors going seven, but I think both teams who lost
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Game one will turn it around in this series. I
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: don't know though, I don't know if they'll come back
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: and win it. But if I'm a Rockets fan, I
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: feel okay about our chances. And if you're a Lakers fans,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: you know you still got Lebron and Luke. They're gonna
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: have a game where they're gonna figure it out offensively
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: and they'll be okay.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. We'll have more on the NBA playoffs.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: We are three days away from the NFL Draft, and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: of course we have our annual big draft show coming
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: away from Twin Peaks and Round Rock will be there
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: on Thursday.

• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I were six fifty, So.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: We're there all the way up to at the time
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: when the draft is just on the cusp of getting underway.

• 13:07
  Speaker 1: a good series it was between the Dodgers and Rangers
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of the weekend. Three really well pitched, well played, hotly
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: contested games between those two and the Astros seem to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: becoming the life now as you know, they've been good
• 13:28

• 13:31

• 16:18
  Speaker 2: That that's kind of the timetable.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Other guys have healed quicker and so maybe there's an
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: outside hope that he could be ready to say by
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: that final series of the regular season in Norman against Oklahoma.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Don't know that yet. It'll just depend on his continued
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: ready to recovery. So he is still out of the lineup.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Adrian Rodriguez is back in the lineup, as we know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: came back last week, only able to He's a switch hitter,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: only able to swing the bat left handed right now
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: because of that hammate a demon that he had that
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: that bone bruise, bad bone bruise right on top of
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the hammock forcing Fortunately it did not break the bone.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: He is able to play the field now, and so
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: he has played at second base and he's playing left
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: field and he has d eight some So he's back
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: uh and and playing again, although he's not at full
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: tilt because he's not able to swing the bat right handed,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: but he is able to swing the bat left handed.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Uh then uh whom I leaving out?
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Thank you Mendoza who injured a shoulder a week ago
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: yesterday in the final game of the series of Kentucky.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: And it was a shoulder injury that he had originally
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: had in high school while playing at South Lake. Carolyn
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: had surgery on it, and Ethan uh missed out on
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: some action. He is back in the lineup swinging the bat,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: but he's going to have to serve as the DH
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: for a time because the shoulder is not healed enough
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: to where he can throw with it yet, So he
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: goes into the D eight slot because you need his
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: bat in the lineup. So it still opened up holes
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: in the outfield and infield. Now Jamee Deplantier is a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: guy who can swing back and forward wherever you need him.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: But as you heard in the highlight montage at the
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: top of the show, and what has been the talk
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: of the rest of the weekend starting on Saturday, starting
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: on Friday, in the Friday and Saturday games and that
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Thursday Friday Saturday series is the emergence of Jonah Williams.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Jonah had played had been in I think he'd had
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: two official at bats and there was one walk in there,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but he didn't have a collegiate hit.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: He'd been used very sparingly.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: So we got his first collegiate start on Friday, he
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: got his first two collegiate hits, and so that was cool.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: And then comes back with a couple of.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Hits on Saturday and drives in three runs, played well
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: en off the outfield, aggressive on the base pass, round
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a third, and came in home on a soft base
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: hit to center. So there was a great deal of
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: excitement about that. So he now, at least in Jim
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Slasnegel's words for the foreseeable future is the way the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: words were framed is the starter in left field. So
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: they're stepping up in that area and that has helped
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: a lot. Now, the other unfortunate thing, this is why
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I said it wasn't entirely the position players, but predominantly
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: is Jared Spencer because they're waiting on some more of
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: medical evaluation from him. Jared started the game on Thursday,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: had to come out of the ball game after only
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: forty three pitches, felt some soreness in the army. He
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: was coming back one day early. So in talking to
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Schloss about this, he said, it wasn't like one of
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: those alarming things where he felder we all heard a
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: pop or.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: A snap or anything like that. There was nothing like that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: He was just going along and he'd given up home
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: run and then came back to the next hitter and
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: was working. But they could tell with all of their
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: metrics and all of their technology his VLO was down,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: not significantly, but down a few miles per hour. So
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: then they went out to visit with him. He said
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: he felt a little sore. They didn't want to take
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: any other chances, and they pulled him out of the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: game and then piecemealed it from there. Max Scrubs did
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: a tremendous job, and then Dylan Lantis got the save
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: or finished it out. Yeah, he did get the save
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: on Thursday. Did a great job, did Grubbs. But the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: concern obviously will be for Jared Spencer until they hear more,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and Schlas said he couldn't really right now envision him
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: pitching this weekend against Texas and him they are going
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to air on the side of caution whenever possible with
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: their guys. So Spencer in a likelihood won't be on
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the mound this weekend. And what that also means is
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: it brings about a flip in the rotation. There will
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: be there will be other things done in the rotation.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: That's why when Ruger ri Ojas started the game on
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Saturday and was dominant through the three innings, only pitched
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: three innings. He did give up the one home run
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: like Iris, just you know, he teed off on everybody.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: If it had not been for Shustler and by the way,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: the guy who's going to be the co player of
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the week in the SEC, we'll tell you about that
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: coming up. It hadn't been for those two guys, Ike
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Irish would have been the SEC player of the week.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: He had, he had a weekend.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: It's just that Shustler out shining him there in the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: final in the final day of it. So you know,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Grubs pitch pitched well. Rugery Ohas pitched well, but he
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: only pitched only through thirty eight pitches. That is because
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the plan will be to move him forward in the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: rotation from the third weekend starter, either to the second
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: or the first. If I were guessing right now, I'd
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: say depending on how he responds again.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: The only three thirty eight pitches.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: He might be in line to be the Friday starter
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Friday night against Texas A and and with Luke Harrison going
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Saturday and probably Jason Flores on Sunday, that's kind of
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: how it would seem to set up right now.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: We'll know more.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: We'll know more after Tomorrow night's game against Texas State.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Kate Bing will start tomorrow and we'll just we'll just
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: kind of see who else works and things of that nature.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: So that's where that is, Okay, than the SEC Players
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: of the Week we were announced, and you heard me
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: say in the in the highlights that I don't know
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: what else who else is doing, you know whatever else
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: in terms of the individual exploits over the weekend, but
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: that that Kimball Schusler was as deserving as anybody was
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: four Player of the Week, and sure enough, Kimball Schuschler
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: did win Player of the Week.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: He won co Player of the Week. There was a
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: tie in the balloting.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Between Shustler, who hit seven fourteen over the weekend and
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: hit three home runs ten RBIs he had eight yesterday.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: He reached safely in thirteen of his seventeen played appearances,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: with four multi hit efforts going back to the Tuesday
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: game against UTRGV, and then of course had the two
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: homer eight RBI performance yesterday with the run roll win
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: over Auburn. He also had a two run double in
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: there with a pair of three run homers, including the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: game ending shot. Okay, but he's only the co player
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: of the week because Jace Lavalatte of Texas A and
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: m Loveolette hit five home runs, scored ten runs, drove
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: in eleven in the Aggies three in one week which
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: included the road series win at Arkansas. So how fitting
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: is it that Kimball Schusler and Jace Laviolette will go
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: mono almano or their teams will this weekend. They'll go
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: head to head this weekend. They're the players, the co
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: players of the week. Here's another interesting thing. The pitcher
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: of the week is Nick McKay of Kentucky. In seven
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: and two thirds innings, he only allowed two hits in
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: beating Tennessee and Knoxville on Saturday. This is a guy
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the Longhorns finally were able to get to in the
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Sunday game, and they were able to get to him
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and wind up winning the ball game the two freshmen
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: of the week. It was co freshman Brendan Lawson of
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Florida who hit four to twelve during the week, and
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Drew Dickerson of Oklahoma who went hit five hundred seven
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: to fourteen, three extra base hits, including a home run.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: So those were the SEC Player Awards. And then, as
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I mentioned, where does all of this stand in terms
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: of the SEC and the Longhorns place. Well, not only
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: did Texas handle its business, there were some other teams
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: that stepped back a little bit further away from them,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Arkansas being one of those by losing two out of
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: three at home to Texas, A and M. Now the
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Razorbacks are still in second place behind Texas, but the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: three games back of the long runs with twelve conference
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: games remaining, so there's still a long way to go
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: in Texas obviously has to go to Fayetteville weekend after
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: this one, the first weekend in May a Thursday Friday
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Saturday series. But Texas is sixteen and two in the league.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Arkansas is thirteen and five. Tennessee which dropped two of
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: three to Kentucky. And this is why when those are saying, well,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Texas really hadn't played anybody rough on the road.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: They really haven't done in.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: The taking two out of three in Lexington, with the
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: only loss being a fifteen inning game to Kentucky. That's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: agent pretty well after Kentucky went to Knoxville and took
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: two out of three from Tennessee. As a result, Tennessee
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: is twelve and six. LSU took two out of three
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: from Alabama. Of the weekend, the Tigers are twelve and six.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Those two teams are four games back of Texas. Vanderbilder
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: has read high. They just got through sweeping Georgia. Next
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: in fifth place, they're eleven and seven. They're five games
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: behind the Long Horns. Georgia, after being swept by Vanderbilt,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: dropped the ten and eight oh Missus ten and eight.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: They dropped two of three at South Carolina. Oklahoma has
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: been hot and they swept Missouri. They're ten and eight
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: in the league. Then you have Alabama at nine and nine,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Auburn at ninety nine, Kentucky and Texas A and M
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: are both eight and ten. Florida won two out of three.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Assissippi State Bulldogs won yesterday's game, but both of those
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: teams are six and twelve. And South Carolina's four and
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: fourteen in Missouri is oh and eighteen in the league.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: So as it stands, Texas a three game lead on
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Arkansas with twelve games to go in SEC play. And
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: we'll talk more about that, the updated rankings, tournament projections,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff a little bit later on
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: up next, we'll bring you inconceivable on a Monday afternoon
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: here on thirteen under the Zone, Craig w A alongside
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the producer Cameron Parker, glad to have you with us.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: How did you You stayed pretty busy during the weekend,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: didn't you? You had stuff going on, right?
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: It was a it was a fun and inter relaxed weekend.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: They will just to watch watch a lot of golf,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: watch a lot of professional basketball, watch a lot of
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Texas baseball.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: It was a fun weekend.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: And I had a couple of graduation parties for some
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: friends at a family in town.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: So it wasn't wasn't too stressful.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: You know, I get asked a lot now during this
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: time period, so what do you what do you do
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: now that you're not traveling for basketball?
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, you know, that's a fair question.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Usually I just you know, monitor the station and make
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: sure that you know, Craig and Keith sound good for
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: UT baseball, make sure Andrew sounds good with UT softball,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: make sure that Roland Cobra is everything he needs with
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: the Express and Lincoln Rose with the Austin FC. So,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: you know, it's kind of it's not it's still busy.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not traveling across the country with you, Craig, but
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: you know there's still work to be I.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Just got the feeling you were probably by the time
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: we got done a date in Ohio, you'd probably had
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: enough of travel for a while for.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: A little bit well.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: And then of course you went with me to Birmingham obviously, Yeah,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: for Women's Sweet sixteen and Laite eight, So you you
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: probably definitely had by the time we got done with that,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: and you had, by other obligations and responsibilities, had to
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: come back. You couldn't and of course we all flew
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: back from Birmingham, but you couldn't go on to the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: final four in Tampa because you had had other obligations
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: and responsibilities and things of that nature. But I also
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: have a feeling maybe by then maybe you were a
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: little travel weary.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, get used to the schedule, right, It's
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: kind of like, you know, year two, so I felt
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: like I was more routine adjusted for this time around.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: But you know, the month of March, you know, that
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: was crazy for us because we you know, that kind
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: of really started with the first trip to Starkfield for
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: me with women's basketball. But then we kept getting stuck
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: there and so the travel wouldn't have been as bad,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: but we kept that to spend an extra day, and
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: then you know, we came back and then we went
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: back and we get stuck again in Starkville. And then
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: from Starkville with the men's team, it was all right, Greenville,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: South Carolina, then Nashville.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: We also had with Old miss Yeah, in Oxford. Everything
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: in Mississippi. There's something going on in that state. Something
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: weird's happening in Mississippi.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: But you know, it's it's part of the job, and
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: it's honestly, the travel is really fun now. Of course,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: when you're waiting the tarmac and it's like, yeah, actually
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: we're going home. We're going back to the hotel. We're
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: not going home. We're going back to the hotel. We're
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: coming back home the next day, and it's like, oh
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: my goodness, which that's.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Part of it though, well, and to be fair, to
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: be fair to the state of Mississippi, it wasn't that
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: state or that airport's fault in Oxford. That was because
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: of fog here in Austin. I remember, we couldn't leave
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: because they said because of weather conditions here, and so
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: they weren't going to be able to leave until the
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: next day. And then that's when the decision was made
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: just to go ahead and go on to baton route.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: And that's right.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Stuff happened by going to the state of Mississippi.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: That did happen.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Long worn Baseball kind of squared all that up when
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: they when they went in there and swept that three
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: game series, including a double header sweep on Sunday at
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State. And even then, even then there was a
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: little bit of uncertainty, a little bit of nervousness because
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: they were worried about the length of the double header.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Because even though the airport in Starkville, I think it's
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: called Starkville Regional Airport, the airport is big enough, the
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: runways are long enough to accommodate like seven thirty seven
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: sized jets. That's how why and how football teams can
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: fly in there. Logworn football team have to fly in
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: there this fall, even though that's there. They closed the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: airport down at nine o'clock at night on Sunday night,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: and that word was made clear to the Long Run
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: baseball team that we're going to So you got the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: double header to play, and we were starting what at
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: eleven am I think we were, and then it was
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: a double header, so you had that, or maybe it
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: was noon and we had a double header working, so
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: it was you know what was gonna It was noon,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: but it was two seven inning games, so it was like,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: can you get it all done in time and get
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: everybody there? And they did get an assist from Mississippi
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: State who called over the airport went hey, we throw
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you guys a lot of business. How about you keep
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the doors open so they can fly out, and they're
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: like okay, And as it turned out, the Long Run's
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: played so well.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Things got done pretty quickly.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I mean it was done by even before I think
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock or not long after, and so they were
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: able to go over to the airport and we were
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: wheels up before nine o'clock anyway, so it all worked
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: out well. So travel does have its pluses and its minuses,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: and it was good to have a home weekend this
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: past weekend with Thursday, Friday, Saturday now as travel would
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: have it. Linda and I drove up to the Metroplex
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: on after the third game of Auburn, which we were
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: pleased if that was a new game. We still didn't
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: get out of town till about six thirty on Saturday evening.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: We drove up there, had dinner in Dallas Saturday night,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: and then spent yesterday with family with grandkids on both sides,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: with my daughter and son in law and their four kids,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: my four grandkids, and then that was in They lived
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: in Flower Mounts, so we met kind of in between
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Dallas and Flower mount and then over the Planeo where
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Linda's daughter and son in law and her grandson lived.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: So we went over there and had an Easter Sunday
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: dinner there. Needless to say, during the course of the
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: day we ate more than we needed to eat, but
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: drove back and of course, you know Easter on day
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: traffic is when you're driving down the High thirty five.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it gets slow for no reason at all,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: And I say, no reason, you know when so we
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: got bumper to bumper and I'm thinking, oh my gosh,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I guess there's been a bad rag. No just people
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: going slow for no reason. And it seems to happen
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the most when you're going you're getting to a rise,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: then you have to be a steep hill just to rise,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and people can't see immediately everything going to breaks. Then
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: if there's a curve and I know a lot of
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: you nodding your heads, like the big curve in Belting
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: when you're going around that curve, everybody just kind of
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: tenses up on that. So you know, you deal with it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: You go forward and move on to the next thing.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: NBA playoffs are under it.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Who impressed you the most first day of the game Once,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I'll say, okay, see yeah, just because you know last
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: season the Ones the youngest team in NBA history to
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: be the one seed in the Western Conference, and you know,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: they looked a little jittery against the Dallas Mavericks in
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: that second round series and just look like the moment
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: was too big for them. Ended up losing in six games.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Probably could have won.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: I probably could have forced a game seven if not
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: for that huge corner. Three from from PJ. Washington, But Mavericks,
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: you know, they went in six, and it felt like okay.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: You know a lot of times it takes at least
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: one one playoff for an NBA team that's super young,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: takes them, you know one. You know, it took Jordan
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: a few years with the Bulls before they finally were
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: able to get over that hump. And so you know,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: my question going this playoffs was is that does that
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: count or does OKC still need to at least prove
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: they can win a couple of series and then they're
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: gonna get their heart broken and then that'll set them
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: up for success later on.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: But what I saw yesterday was like, now this team's
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: ready to go.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: I mean they came out and just dominated from from
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: start to finish. You know, led by by thirty points
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: at halftime, ended up winning by fifty points. None of
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: the starters played in the fourth quarter, which is crazy.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Against the Grizzlies team that you know, I'm not gonna
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: sit here and say, hey, you know, their NBA Finals contenders.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: You know they of course they fired their coach, you know,
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: three quarters of the way into the season. There's all
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: the drama with John Moran and his celebrations, whether he's
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: shooting in AK forty seven or throwing grenades into the crowd,
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: there's loss of us still, you know, still it's a
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: grizzly team that you know, hey two three years ago
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: they were the two s in the Western Conference Finals
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: or the Western Conference, so you know there there is
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: that potential for them. But for the okay, see that
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: come in and is completely destroy them. I mean, very
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: impressive for me. Now, of course, you still got to
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: you know, take care of them and then you will see,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: you know, in the second round against whether it's the
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Clippers or Denver, and he still got up, you know,
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: play the Western Conference Finals to get there. But I
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: left yesterday feeling the most impressed about the Thunder out
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: of any of the other teams in the first round.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: I feel like with Detroit in Houston, it's two teams
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: just kind of like like, okay, see last season that
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: still have not been there before. You know, I don't
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: care who's playing for the next There is nothing Craig,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: nothing like playing a playoff game at MSG and the
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Garden was rocking in the fourth quarter to the next
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: twenty one nothing run. I think you kind of see
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: the Pistons players kind of all right, tense up a
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: little bit, got nervous because they were the better team
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: for three quarters and then the fourth quarters completely fell apart.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: In the next were able to go on that twenty
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: one nothing run and then shut the door on Detroit.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: In for Houston too, I mean at one point, they
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: had what like forty one points. Yeah, in the second half.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's just so low for an NBA team.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: But you know, I think they kind of you know,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Fenfleet was like oh for nine, oh for ten before
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: he hit that first three pointer, and Jalen Green really
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: struggled in that game against Golden State. Need more offense
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: out of him if you're a Rockets fan. But it
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: kind of felt like, Okay, you know, Detroit Houston two
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: teams that kind of just need to, you know, grow
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: up in the moment. Now, will they grow up in
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: the series or will they grow up next season? And
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: that's what I'm hopeful for. Okay, ses they're going to
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: grow up this season. Denver over the Clippers. It felt
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: like Denver had to win that game in overtime. Clippers
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: just a better team. They're up double digits for a
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: while and then Denver comes roaring back. You know, Westbrook
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: gets to clutch corner three and then Fellas get a
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: shot off the last player. Regulation I missed a couple
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: of big shots in overtime, but you know, Jokic was
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: just unstoppable overall. He's the best player in the planet
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: right now, and I think he's the serving of the
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: MVP Award. Even though I'm a thunder fan, I think
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Jokic is by far the best player on the planet.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: But for Denver, get that win is huge. I screg
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, I look at these series in the Western Conference,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: outside of OKC Memphis, I could see all of them
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: going possibly six or seven.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, all right, it's that close. Wow? Okay.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Well, and then in the East, I mean I thought
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Boston in Cleveland were very impressive.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, say with Boston, I think Orlando's defense is good
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: enough to maybe win them a game or two. Again,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: I'll you know, I want to see, like what's up
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: with Jill and Tatum's wrist will be okay, but outside
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: of that, their death is so big. I don't see
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: too much with that series. Indiana Milwaukee. Uh, I can't
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: believe Doc Rivers has a has a coaching job. I mean,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: it was a malpractice in the first half. In that
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: first game, Milwaukee kind of like Memphis just looked like
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: they had no idea what was going on outside of
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: what Giannis was doing. I think Indiana wins that series,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: possibly even five, maybe six, and then Cleveland Miami. You know,
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: that was a little bit tighter, and then Cleveland pulled
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: away in the fourth quarter. I think Cleveland's gonna breeze
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: through that series. So the only one that could really
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: see going seven right now in the Eastern Conference is
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: possibly Nick Pistons. So the Eastern Conference, they may have
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: all their series wrapped up well before the Western Conferences.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Interesting, Okay, all right, well I'm more on the NBA
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: playoffs later coming up some college baseball updated information for you,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: we'll do that.
• 40:07

• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Craig Way Show and the Voice
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: of the Longhorns.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Craig Way.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: Follow Craig on social media at Horn Voice Total.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: Monday afternoon, coming out of the weekend here, I hope
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: you're Easter weekend or your weekend overall was good.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Hope it all worked out for you there.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: I had mentioned that I was going to bring up
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: some college baseball things for you, first of all, and
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: we said this last hour that Texas is still obviously
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: on top of the SEC standings sixteen and two with
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: four series remaining, and there are some.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Historical comps.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: I guess is the best way to describe this simple
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: water here, Okay, Keith Morland, Roger Wallace, Ty Harrington, those
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: who have worked with me on Longhorn Baseball broadcast pretty
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: much share the same view, and ty will join us
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: tomorrow when we're down in his neck of the woods
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: down in San marcos As, Texas will play tex say
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: he'll be working the telecast with Brant Freeman tomorrow evening.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Keith Morlan be working with me on the Texas radio broadcast.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: But anyway, Tye and Keith and Roger and others have
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: largely said alive at Kendall Rogers d one baseball dot
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: com is pretty much said in the past, if you
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: have an above five hundred record in conference playing the SEC,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: which the Longhorns have clinted that now.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: I mean even if they lost all remaining twelve games.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: They finished sixteen and fourteen.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: But if you're at if you're at five hundred or above,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: pretty much you're almost locke to be in an NCAA regional.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: If you to in this case, it would probably be
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: twenty wins out of thirty, you're almost certain to be hosting.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: And if you get much more beyond that, you're gonna
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: be a top eight national seed. So Texas is obviously
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: well positioned to be in that kind of situation, and
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: normally it's this time of year where I start looking
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: at projections, and I usually wait until like late April
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: to do this, just to kind of get a better,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: you know, just a better feel for it and have
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: it not be.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Too Only four series left, but which is still a
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: lot a lot can happen.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Twelve games, twelve games. I would say this, If Texas
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: went six and six of the remaining twelve games, they
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: would have twenty two conference when they'd be twenty two
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: and eight conference play, I would say, and if they
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: they've got three non conference games left tomorrow night in
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: San Marcus, the following Tuesday against Prairie View, and then
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: the Tuesday after that against Lamar.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Lamar, by the way, pretty good ball club. They won
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: over thirty games.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: But if they won those three games and then split
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: the remaining twelve, so that'd be nine more wins. They're
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: at thirty three and five right now, they would be
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: forty two and eleven going into the conference tournament. I
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: would say, for sure, obviously they're in the field. I
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: would also say they're almost for certain to be a host,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: and they stand a real good chance to be a
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: top eight national seat. That's just if they go five
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: hundred the rest of the way. If they were to
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: say when eight of the twelve, I'd say they would
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: definitely be a national seed. Could they be the national seed? Well,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: according to the projections right now, they are the number
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: one national seat. And as Cameron just pointed out, there's
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: still some baseball to be played.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: There's twelve games for mating.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: They are a unanimous number one, well unanimous among the Poles.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: They're not not unanimous in the balloting, but they are
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: number one ranked.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking about the projections right now.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying that the voting polls, and they are
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: a consensus number one, number one in D one baseball
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: dot com, number one imperfect game, number one in the
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association rankings, number one in Baseball America,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: number one in the ESPN Usaday Coaches Balls. That's five
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: and they're number one across the board in those poles,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: which is all well and good, and I will readily
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: admit to you it's been in quite a while since
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: I can remember them being ranked at high. Josh White,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: who does a tremendous job in his first season. He
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: came in from Miami, so where they have their own
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: baseball tradition. But Josh does an outstanding job as the
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: media relations contact for Long Worn Baseball, and he does
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of digging and researching and things like that.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: He points out, I think in just about every set
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: of game notes that he does at the start of
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: a series, that Texas is off to its best start
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: through I think it was through thirty seven games. Now
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: it's through thirty eight games since two thousand and four. Now,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: what happened in two thousand and four? The Long Horns
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: were really, really good. They did not win the Big
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: twelf tournament. I think they won the regular season. He
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: did not win the Big twelve tournament. Oklahoma State actually
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: won that tournament. But Texas I'm pretty sure was the
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: number one overall seed that year, or they were in
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: the top two or three. They got all the way
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: to the National Championship series, did not drop a game,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: beat Georgia along the way. I think they beat Stanford
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: the law the way they didn't. They didn't lose any games.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: So they got to the championship and they ran into
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: a stone wall of pitching from cal State Fullerton where
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Ricky Romero and Jason windsor Kurt Suzuki was catching Justin
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Turner was playing for them, and they shock Texas and
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: they swept them two games. But that's the last time
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: they were kind of a consensus number one in that mindset,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: and that's where they are right now in the voting
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: polls and also in the projections. And back in two
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: thousand and four, I really didn't look at tournament projections much.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Those didn't really start coming into vogue until you got
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: around twenty ten or so, so I can tell you
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: this is the first time I remember seeing this in
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: every set of projections that I've looked at, that Texas
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: is the number one overall seed in all of those projections.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I'll give you some examples. D one baseball is the
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: one that most folks follow. Now, there are differences in
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: the minds of those who compile these projections as to
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: which teams would be coming here to Austin to play
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: in a regional and also the ranking and placement of
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: other teams out of the top sixteen who would get
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: to those regionals, including the top eight national seeds. So
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: there are differentiations there, but the one thing that is
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: unified is that Texas at the number one in all
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: of these projections. So for example, in D one baseball,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: they have Texas As they're overall number one.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: The other teams they have coming here.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: The two seed would be Kansas State, who's been kind
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: of sliding back because they just got swept by Cansas
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: of the weekend. Number three we just saw them ut
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Rio Grand Valley they project UTRGV to win the Southland Conference.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: And number four New Jersey Tech. That's a real school.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: It's a real program.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: It's not something where you can get you get your
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: degree online by calling an eight hundred number.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: It's an actual program of that aet.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: They're in Newark, New Jersey, and the winner of that
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: region would match up with the winner of a regional
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, where UCLA is projected as the number
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: sixteen overall seed with UC Irvine Duke Confession of State
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: the other teams there. The number two national seed they
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: have is Arkansas with Arizona the fifteen. The number three
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: national seed Clemson with Coastal Carolina the fourteen. Now don't
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: have an updated set of projection come out later this weekend.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: That might change based on the.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Fact that Clemson won two out of three I guess
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: over the weekend over Louisville and Arkansas dropped two or
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: three at home to Texas, A and M. They had
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Tennessee as the four and george is the five. Again
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: that could change. Auburn's the sixth, Georgia Tech the seven,
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Oregon State the eight. So that's like that's d one
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Baseball dot Com that they have that, and you say, okay,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: well what about some of the others. Well, Baseball America
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: another one that has been doing projections a long time.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: They have Texas is the number one, with the other
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: teams coming in. North Carolina State is a two. USC.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: It's just from the Big ten. It's so weird to
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: see that. Southern California for the Big ten. And again
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: New Jersey Institute of Technology New Jersey Tech as the
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: America East winner.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: When I see New Jersey Tech here they have they
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: have a decent baseball program. Remember Mike Tico and Tico
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: he played there.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah he played Saint John's right, Yes, yes, yes, he
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: did so. The Ricords are most still in bases in
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: the season of Texas baseball history.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so so anyway, he's uh, he played there, so
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: anyway in jiuh, they haven't matching up with a field
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: at number sixteen. See they have uc Irvine, whose list
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: is a two see behind UCLA.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: So they have Irvine. Is that.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: With Oregon in the two, Virginia the three president of
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: the four and again there could be changes later this
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: week because of Tennessee, Georgia and Arkansas two three four,
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: All three lost their series of the weekend. Georgia got
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: swept Vanderbilt, Tennessee lost at home in Kentucky, and Arkansas
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: lost two out of three at home to Texas, A
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: and M H North Carolina, Clemson, Auburn and LSU the
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: top eight. There with the other seed, they have TCU
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: hosting with A and M in the field. It's a
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: three seat. TCU dropped two of three at UCF. Not
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: a good weekend for the horn Frogs, losing to a
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: sub five hundred losing two out of three to a
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: sub five hundred team in UCF.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: So there's an example.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Then there on three has also its set of projections,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: and Texas is the number one overall number one seed.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Like you, like we said you might you might imagine that.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Uh so uh they I'm just trying to make sure
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: I pulled this up. But I just had this here
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: and let's see if I can get it.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: If not, I'll get it during the break. I'll look
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: during the break.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: But there's But the bottom line on this is what
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: I was saying, is that that they are the number
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: one overall national seat across the board.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Now there's a waste to go. We've pointed that out.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: My point about all of this is that it's been
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: a long time since Texas has been viewed in that
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: national prism. Can it change? Sure, Texas A and M
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: comes in here and has a big weekend, Yeah, it
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: could change. Remember Texas also has lost two midweek games.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: They've lost a UTSA at home at UTSA. By the way,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: really good team, good chances. They are going to be
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: in a regional that depends on what happens in the
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: American Athletic Conference.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: But there's that. And in addition.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: To that, they've got you know that the Texas State
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: lost and they have to play Texas State tomorrow in
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: sand Market. So we'll see how that all shakes out
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: over time. But obviously it trends up team wise for
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Texas individually. We ran this down earlier with the injuries
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: they've had to sustain in the latest being Jared Spencer,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: and we don't know what the situation is with him
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: yet until they get some more medical evaluation back. You know,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: that could change things as well. So we'll see how
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: it goes from there. But so far, they continue to
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: hunkered down, play well. They've responded to Jim schlos Nigles
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: coaching and the staffs coaching. Max Wieners done a heck
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: of a job with the pitching. Nolan Kane and Troy
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Tchilowitzky had done a tremendous job with the hitting with
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: the guy. So yeah, it's it's been impressive to see
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: so far. All Right, we got some other topics to
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: get to, which we will do when we continue on thirteen.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Out of the Owner, We're back.
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: It's the Craig Way Show with Hall of Fame broadcaster
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: in voice of the Texas Longhearts, Craig Way.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: On the text line, somebody commenting on the John Daly
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: windfull seven or eighty thousand dollars he took in last
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: year just hanging out at Hooters signing autographs, selling autograph
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: golf balls.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: It's American dream, craw just hanging out at Hooters and
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: getting paid for.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: It, right, Cigar boxes because he's a big cigar guy.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: So if you had an autograph cigar box from John Daily,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: that's something else. I wo'ld say its two hundred and
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: fifty bucks to get one of those hat for forty bucks,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: golf ball for ten dollars. So John Daily's worked it
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: out really well. There's a golf course at Myrtle Beach,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: and people know who know me, know that I really
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: enjoy golf. But the only time I really get the
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: plays when they go on vacation, like you know. And
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: I used to play a lot more than I do now.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: I used to go and I'd played three four days,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: and now I'm one two days. I guess, you know whatever.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: And then I play some miniature golf, but I mean
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: just regular golf. And there was there's a golf course
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: down there, and there's many There's one hundred and ten
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: in a thirty five mile stretch, and in fact, I
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: used to play four or five or six of them
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: religiously every summer for over twenty years.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: So it got.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: To the point where I have played like eighty of
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: Well, this goes back to like nineteen eighty still Okay,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: so I haven't played.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: I've really slowed down the pace on that.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: But anyway, the point I was gonna make is one
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: of the golf courses that I wanted to play. I
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: can't even remember the name of it now, but it
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: was a John Daily design and this was right in
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: his heyday when he won the Open in England and
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: then and then he won a PGA during that time
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: as well, so it was it was a really nice
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: golf course at the time there, and I planned to
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: play it, and naturally it was designed for long hitters,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: and my problem really isn't distance, it's accuracy. I mean,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: you know, I've got a bad slice, so it's you know,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: it's it's not good.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: I mean I can hit a long waist to the right.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: But anyway, somebody had pointed out on the text line
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: that with Daily making that kind of money, it says
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: that's enough for Daily for a trip to a casino,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: because he had that issue too, is going on with that?
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: So uh, we were just talking about regional projections of baseball,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: and I did find that other set that I was
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: going to go over. But somebody pointed out when I
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: was mentioning New Jersey Institute of Technology n J. I
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: t mister Mescott, it's something pretty basic. I'm guessing it's
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: like Nights. It's I mean, it's not like the Goodfellas
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. Oh, the Sopranos. I don't know,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: you know, it's what is it? Highlanders?
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Highlanders? That's is that basic? Yeah? Yeah, I don't know.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: I think I want to think of basically. I think
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: it like tigers. Yeah. Well it's put it this way.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: It's not unknown. Yeah you know, so it's not the catamounts. Yeah,
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: so Virginia, yeah, or from excuse me?
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: So pointed that out, and then somebody said, I think
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: Tony Masselli took uh night courses at New Jersey Tech.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: Tony Miscelli was the character played by Tony Dans And
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Who's the Boss?
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: Now that predates you. You're not old enough to I'm
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: familiar with the show. But okay, would Judith Light and
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: Tony Dan said, Who's the Boss?
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: Was on?
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: Who was the Boss? Right? Well, they tried to make
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: it sound like he was, but he really was. Was it?
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: Janet was her name? Was her name? What was her name?
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Judith Light was the actress's name, And then they and
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: then they they had the kid too there, So who,
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: indeed was it was the universal question on that anyway,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: I did locate that other set of regional projections, and
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: again it goes right to what we were saying that
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: it's unanimous about Texas. Now these projections are from on
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: three and they're a little more current than those other ones,
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: which was their latest ones at the end of last week. Now, again,
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: the weekend results like Tennessee losing two out of three
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: at home to Kentucky, Georgia being swept at Vanderbilt, Arkansas
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: losing two out of three at home to Texas, A
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: and M those were not reflected in those other projections
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: of it later in the week. It will be reflected
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: this week, and there'll probably be some shuffling around. The
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: point being made is there's going to be ongoing movement
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: and shuffling around, but for now, for now, Texas isn't
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: one of those teams. I mentioned this comment to Keith
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: Morland after the the other day about being in first
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: place in the league, and he could appreciate it because
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: he was a NASCAR fan. You could appreciate, Cameron, because
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: you're an NASCAR fan. And that was the term. If
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: you're out front like that, you're running on clean air.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: You're not you're not drafting others behind and getting the
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: dirty air coming off. You're running clean air. You're out
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: front of the field. And that's and that's where Texas
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: is right now. Well that includes in all these regional projections.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: So in these.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Regional projections coming from on three and they have a
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: staff that selects and follows and covers college baseball. They
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: have the SEC getting thirteen bids in the NCAA, followed
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: by the A SEC with ten. Other multi bid leagues
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: the Big Twelve with six, the Big Ten with four,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: of the Big West with three, the Sun Belt with three,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: in Conference.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: USA with two.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: I used to say that I thought the Southern Conference
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: back in the day was perhaps the best mid major
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: baseball conference in the country. I don't think that anymore.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: The Big West probably is, but the Sun Belt has
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: three ranked teams, so they're really good, and Conference USA
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: is good. And on the hosting line, the SEC has
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: five of the top eight and eight of the top sixteen.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: Half of the field of regional hosts coming from the SEC,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: the ACC with three hosts, the Big Twelve is two,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: the remaining hosts come from the Big West, the Sun Belt,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: and an independent. The independent is Oregon State. They're having
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: to play an independent schedule and it's kind of fascinating
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: to see what they're having to deal with because of
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: the dissolution and the complete, you know, breaking a part
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: of the PAC twelve. So Oregon State is having to
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: play an independent schedule. Now they were able to cobble
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: together and play some of the former PAC twelve teams.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: They've been able to play some other ones as well
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: that have helped the RPI and for an independent to
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: have what they've had, their RPI has been really good.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: In fact, today the RPI for Oregon stations they're number eleven.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: That's good considering what they've had to go through. By
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: the way, you'll probably still can found some people to
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: see how Georgia can get swept over the weekend and
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: be the number one RPI team. That that's the value
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: they place on road games, even though you lost all three,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: Long Run's number two in the RPI. Also, the strength
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: to schedule for Texas is twenty five. The strength of
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: schedule for Georgia is four, Vanderbilt is three. Auburn despite
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: getting SWEPT is number four in the RPI. They have
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: the number one schedule strength in the country. So those
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: are some of the things that go down. And so
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: that's where I mentioned how Oregon State is one of
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: those teams that are getting that all right, So with
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: regard to the rest of those regional projections, Texas is
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: the number one overall seed. And here's the difference that
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: I was talking about, how there are different teams projected
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: to come to Austin in these very projections. In this one,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: it's two of the branch campuses. You might say, ut
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: S A is the two, UTR GV is the three,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Bethune Cookman is the four. And their analysis of this
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: is there's no new top overall seed this week. That
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: honor still belongs to Texas, who improved the thirty three
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: and five overall, sixteen and two in the SEC and
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: number two in the RPI. If the log Worns go
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: on to win the SEC regular season, they are likely
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: to be the top seed. So there are people ask
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: that question, so, well, you know, what good does it
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: do to win the SEC?
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: Well, it positioned you to.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: Have a better run to try to get to Omaha
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: because the winner of the SEC, and Keith Morland said
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: this on Saturdays. I'm gonna tell you right now, ever
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: wins the SEC, whether it's Texas or Arkansas or Tennessee,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: whoever it is, whoever wins the SEC is gonna be
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: the number one overall seed with the strength of this league,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: and right now that belongs to Texas. It also says
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: they also have a big resume boosts with fourteen. They're
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: a fourteen and three quad one record. I remember we're
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: talking about basketball. Texas had the struggle with the quad
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: one wins and losses. Fourteen and three. That's the most
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Q one wins in the country at this point. So
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: for anybody wants to say, well, but they played at home,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: they did. They have fourteen quad one wins. The interesting
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: thing is they've got this. They've got Texas matched up
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: with the sixteen seats and say be the one. They
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: have Oklahoma as the sixteen seed with Kansas Southern missing
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: ball state there. So, like I says, Texas versus Oklahoma
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: would be a fun potential super regional matchup, wouldn't it.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: So they've got them there.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: They have Clemson as the two, Auburn would be the
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: fifteen dropping with TC as the two seed there. Du
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: can high point the other teams in that Auburn Regional
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: LSU is the three seed, with NC State, East Tennessee
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: State in Maine, they're matching up with a fourteen seed
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: Arizona which whatever UCLA you see, Santa Barbara and Grand Canyon,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Arkansas is the number four seed, with Western Kentucky, Miami
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: and Missouri State matching up with Vanderbilt the thirteen seed
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: with Louisville USC.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: And Rhode Island.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: Tennessee is the five seed in Knoxville, with Iowa Xavior
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Southeast Missouri matching up with wanted you see Irvine, You
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: see Irvine, Oregon and wait for it, Texas A and
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: M the three and Fresno State.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: As the four. As they have been climbing the Aggies.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: This weekend could do an awful lot for Texas A
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: and M for their chances to be in the field.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: After the dreadful start they had.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: If they have a successful weekend in Austin, Oregon State
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: is projected as the number six overall seat, pretty impressive
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: for a team having to play an independent schedule. With
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: Cal Polly, Arizona State, and Zaga the other teams they're
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: matching up with a regional hosted by West Virginia. They're
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: tops in the Big twelve right now, have them as

• 1:13:28

• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: atop the College Baseball polls. They remain number one in

  Speaker 1: all the NCAA regional projections right now, and maybe they've
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: developed the next budding star. This is our number three

• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: know how the rest of the SEC is doing. The
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: Kimball Schustler is as deserving as anybody to be SEC
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Player of the Week, and the voters who vote on
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: that agreed. But they also agreed that Jayce Laviolette of
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: Texas A and M was as deserving, so as a
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: result of that, they are the sec CO Players of
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: the Week. And he said, well, how could he have
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: done any better? At Schusler. Schusler batted seven to fourteen
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, and over the week three homers, ten
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: runs batted in. He reached safely in thirteen of his
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: seventeen plain appearances, four multi hit efforts, one in each game,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: highlighted by that two home run eight RBI performance on

  Speaker 1: Saturday in the run rule win over Auburn lavio Lette.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: You ask hit five home runs, he scored ten times,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: drove in eleven runs. He hit four to twelve, so
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: he hit about three hundred points left, but he hit
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: two more home runs. He homered in all four games
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: that matched a career high. He also had a multi
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: hit game in three of the four contests, and he
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: drove in multiple runs in all four games.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: Over the weekend, he had four home runs.
• 1:17:14

  Speaker 1: Oregon State three, Florida State four. Then it's Arkansas five,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: Tennessee six, LSU seven, North Carolina eight, Vanderbilt nine, Georgia ten.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: Second tim begins with Auburn at eleven, filed by UC Irvine, Oregon,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma at fourteen, then UCLA Arizona, West Virginia, Alabama at eighteen.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: Then it's Louisville, Troy, Coastal Carolina and Southern Miss three
• 1:18:57

• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: TCU dropped out after dropping two of three at UCF
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: of the weekend. But if you're counting from the SEC,
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: the Longhorns have four of the top seven, five of
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: the top nine, six of the top ten, seven of
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: the top eleven, eight of the top fourteen, nine of
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: the top eighteen, and ten of the top twenty three.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: So they have ten ranked schools.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: This week in this week's rankings. So impressive stuff there
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: that Texas had. I mentioned last hour about Walker Bueler,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: and he started today for the Red Sox. Of course,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: he went to Boston in the offseason, signed with them
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: after coming off the World Series Championship with the Dodgers.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: He's also three and one start. He's pitching well and
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: had longest outing. He went seven innings, he struck out nine.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: He threw one hundred pitches.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: And it was kind of a weird thing because today's
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: Patriots Day, so they had that early start in Boston
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: because of the Boston Marathon, and they start the game
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: at eleven am Eastern, so it starts at ten o'clock
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: in the morning. So I was watching the game in
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: my home while having coffee at ten o'clock this morning
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: and watching Walker Buller pitch, and he looks good.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: He looks looks healthy and looks good.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: And I mentioned this as a note going into the
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: top of the hour, but they didn't mention everything. He
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: was a little uptight because it was his first time
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: to be in Boston on Patriots Day and he was
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: concerned about traffic if he drove it.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: He lives in Newton, Massachusetts, not that.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: Far away, but was concerned about getting caught in traffic
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: or road closures or knee tours and all that other
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff when he has to pitch a game
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: at eleven o'clock in the morning, So he took his
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: family to a hotel near Fenway Park, and he said,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: I stayed at a hotel last night just so that
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't have just so that I kind of didn't
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: have to worry about it too much. My wife and
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: kids stayed with me, and everything was kind of normal
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: for us. We're all kind of used to sleeping in hotels,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: so we're all good. So he did that, and he
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: talked about, so, how did you prepare for the game
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: differently if you're at the hotel for a home game.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: Obviously on the road you're in a hotel, But is
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: it any different? He said, well, I had all my
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: stuff done. I took an iPad home and I read
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: it last night where I typically do. I scouted their
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: whole lineup and every guy on the bench, and then
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: he went to the hotel. He said he set his
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: alarm for six forty five in the morning. He got
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: to the park at seven fifteen this morning local time.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: It was the earliest game that Walker Buehler had pitched
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: in since he was pitching in Double A for the
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: Dodgers in twenty seventeen. That would have been Tulsa. The
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: Tulsa Drillers are Double A. And that was when he
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: was in the Dodgers farm system. And listen to this.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: They said, do you remember much about that? And he said, yeah,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: I was going up against Jack Flaherty. It was SpongeBob
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: square Pants Day that we faced each other in. He said,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about that earlier. So it was Detroit's
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: Double A that he was going up against, which is
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: the Eerie Sea Wolves there the Eastern League. So it was
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: that was the Dodgers Double A and he was going
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: on that. Okay, speaking of that, Every year there are
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: new minor league baseball teams. Now I'm not talking about
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: the independent minor leagues, and I'm glad those still exist,
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: because when Minor league baseball was contracted by I think
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: forty two clubs a few years ago by Major League
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: Baseball and it got cut from one hundred and sixty
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two of them to one hundred,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: I think it was Geene Watson.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: I've talked about this at length.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: It took away a lot of opportunities for what would
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: be later round draft. The draft's only a twenty round
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: draft now, so it was a problem for a lot
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: of guys. It also meant some reworking of teams. Our
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: friend Andrew Haynes, who's the voice of Long Worn Softball,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: he was the voice of the Ogden Raptors who were
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: in the Pioneer League.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: That whole league was contracted.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: It was a Rookie League team, and it was a
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: Dodger Rookie League team, and it got pulled out. So anyway,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: there had been a contraction and reworking of a lot
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: of the minor leagues, and some teams actually got promoted up. Greensboro,
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: my hometown, got promoted up into the Carolina League. Others
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: got promoted or demoted down. There's one other and every
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: year there's a new team. Have you heard, Cameron, since
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: you grew up in Charlotte, have you heard of the
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: minor league team in Spartanburg, South Carolina? Now they've had
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: off and on minor league teams for years.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: Spartanburg.
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: Keith Morland played there when he was in the Phillies organization.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: Oh really, Okay, yeah, they're no longer called Spartanburg. The
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: need that the team name is the Hub City Spartanburgers. Now,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: first of all, did you know that Spartanburg was known
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: as a hub city, the hub city.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: I guess because it's next to Greenville. I suppose it
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: says what is a hubs city? Well, it's good that
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: you mentioned that, because on their website says why hub city.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: Hub city is the primary most utilized nickname for Spartanburg.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: The reason Spartanburg was nicknamed hubcity is directly tied to
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: the rail industry and the importance it played for Spartanburg
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: as a community in the late eighteen hundreds of over
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: seven rail lines running into and out of the center
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: of Spartanburg.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: That's made Spartanburger true huh u for transportation of goods
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: and people across the southeast in the country. So that's
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: why it was called that. The only hub cities I
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: knew of Boston hub City. Boston is the other Lubbock
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: hub city. In fact, they had a summer league team
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: called the Lubbock Hubvers. Keith Moreland played for that when
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: he was coming out of high school, the Lubbock Covers.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: So anyway, they have I think they have a new
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: downtown ballpark called Fifth Third Park, named after Fifth Third Bank.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: But they're the Hub City Spartan Burgers.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: Interesting, yeah, is the name is the name of that team,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: So you're a minor league update for the day round.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: Rock Express off today, right, because the PCL is off
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: on Mondays, right, so they'll be back in action tomorrow night.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: All right, We've got some football notes. We gotta get
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: to NFL Draft just around the corner. We'll get to
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: that when we continue on thirteen under the zone.
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: We're back.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 4: It's the Craigway Show with Hall of Fame broadcaster and
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 4: voice of the Texas Longheards Craig Way.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: A couple of things before we talk from NFL.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: The NCAA Division One Board of Directors today, just a
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: little while ago, proposed deleting one hundred and fifty three
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: long standing rules from their handbook. Just strike them out
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: of the book. One hundred and fifty three. The reason
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: why it's that particular number is is that they are
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: all connected in one way or another to prevent schools
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: from sharing financial benefits directly with student athletes.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: So it's still.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: Contingent upon the approval of the House settlement. The nc
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: Board of Members board members met for about four hours
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: today and they emerged with nine major proposed legislative changes.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: Now listen to these. Here's what they're proposing to change. One,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: including permission for schools to provide direct financial payments to players.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: He said, well, what's the difference from what's going on
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: in al is different the way it's funneled and set up,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: and this would be just a school just writ in.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: The check.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: Also includes free use of their nil. NC leaders are
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: aiming to reshape the role of the organization. They are
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: poised to effectuate sweeping changes by July first. If the
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: settlement is approved. Schools have until June fifteen to decide
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: whether or whether to opt to provide benefits that would
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: be permission under the settlement for the coming academic year.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: Proposed legislation also includes sports specific roster limits, allowing full
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: scholarships to all student athletes on a roster. So don't
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: to worry about the eleven point seven anymore or whatever
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: to anybody that's on a roster gets full scholarship. The
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: NCAA said it's going to double the scholarships available in
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: women's sports. It would also align with this expected House settlement,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: and that it would allow the power for schools sec
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: ACC Big ten, Big twelve. It would allow the Power
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: four schools and others who choose to offer settlement related benefits.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: This is that number that we've been hearing, twenty million,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: twenty point five million dollars in direct financial benefits to players.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: Not all Division one schools are going to choose to
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: operate in that new system enabled by the settlement. The
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: IVY League is chosen to opt out and they will
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: continue to operate under the current structure. But the new
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: NIL clearing House and the enforcement arm that's aiming to coexist.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: This is Heather Dinnis who wrote this up for ESPN,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: and she always does find job it said. Was also
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: included that NIL clearing House, along with the rules, intended
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: to bring clarity instability of the NIL environment for all
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: Division one schools to prevent schools from trying to circumvent
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: that cap of twenty point five million, the NCAA has
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: proposed rules to help add stability and accountability.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: All players will be required to.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: Disclose their NIL agreements if they are greater or equal
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: to six hundred bucks. Like if you you know, if
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: you call a game Cameron for somebody and they pay
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: you six hundred and more, you got to clear that
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: on your taxes. So that's that magic number six hundred.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: Agreements between the player and the third party outside of
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: the school will be reviewed. The board also approved new
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: rules that would create technology platforms for the schools to
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: monitor their payments to players and for the athletes to
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: report their third party INIL agreements. There are also steps
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: the players can take if an NIL agreement is considered
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: outside of the range of compensation developed by the external
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: independent clearinghouse. Players will still be allowed to hire agents
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: for NIL purposes. An enforcement group that would be created
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 1: and operated by these conferences would aim to, as they say,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: provide oversighther rules relating to the terms of the settlement,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: including third party and NIL and the annual benefits cap.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: The NCAA will still use certain eligibility rules that have
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: been used to distinguish Division one athletics from pro sports.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: For the athletes to receive these benefits, the NCAA will
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 1: require them to be enrolled full time and meet Division
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 1: I progress towards their degree and are in the benefits
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: during the five year eligibility period.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: So that's what they came out of the meeting with today. Yeah,
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 3: So the NCAA is basically, you know, they're getting in
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: line with this potential house settlement. Yeah there, now they're
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 3: officially look like they're officially done fighting this and so
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 3: now accepting into Okay, let's go ahead and get in
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 3: a position to where when this gets approved, which should
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: be I thought it was going to be this past weekend,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 3: but I guess maybe a little bit in a couple
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: of days or so, maybe a little bit a couple
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: of weeks. But eventually this the hustlement, will get approved.
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 3: It's not if it's more about when it will get approved.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: The nca is going to have to be ready to
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: go because I mean, Craig, this is going to be
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: such a crazy period this next year or two and
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: just figuring out what the schools can do, and you know,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 3: with this twenty point five million dollar cap so to speak,
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 3: and house schools are going to decide to divvy up
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 3: you know which program gets what.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: Look, folks have been saying with this nil thing, it's
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: been wild west and that their need there's a real
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: need for guardrails on it. Well that's what this is.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: The NCAA is trying to put some guardrails down. Now
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: you can take this to the bank that some folks
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: will have a problem with it regardless. And I would
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: also tell you that the smaller Division one programs are
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: going to have a problem meeting that twenty zero point
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: five million dollar cap. But you know they're making an effort,
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: like you said, to fall in line with a house settlement,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: so that there are indeed some guardrails, like you've got
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: to be enrolled as a full time student, like you
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: have to have progress towards your degree, like the fact
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: you got to get it done in five years. Those
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: are some measures that they would put in while allowing
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: the money to flow a lot free or all right, Hey,
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: throughout the course of this week, you have a chance
• 1:32:56

  Speaker 1: True enough, the draft itself begins at seven o'clock, so
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 1: we will have just left there when it starts, but
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: we'll set the table for.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: You on that.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: So I'm always fascinated by the mock draft stuff because
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you, Cameron Parker, this would have
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: been a full eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve years before
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: you were even born, that I was producing the talk
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: show for Bradsham in Dallas on KRLD. I just started
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: out in full time there and he was the host
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: of Sports Central was the name of the show. And
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: Brad was the first one I ever heard in the
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: state of Texas do a mock draft, and this was
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: in the mid eighties. And what he would do is
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: he would get what was called the NFL Black Book
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: that had the names and phone numbers contact info for
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: the beat reporters, writers, broadcasters, and would turn that book
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: over to me and say line up. At the time,
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: I guess there were twenty six teams in the NFL.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: Line up, twenty six reporters. And he would give me suggestions. Hey,
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: you know, I usually.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: Use Jack buck to to pick for the Saint Louis Cardinals.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: I usually use.
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: Gary Myers to pick for the New York Giants from
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: the New York Daily News and all this. And so
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: when I would contact all these people and line them up,
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 1: and we would do it live mock draft over two nights,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: do the first thirteen picks the first night, and then
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: a second and it would just go bank bank bank,
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 1: like five minutes for each wine and roll it through.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: So that was in the early pioneering days of doing
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: mock drafts now mock drafts. And by the way, we'd
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: have Mel kiper On too. Mel was just really starting
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: out and he would send his draft guide in. He
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: was young and fledgling, but we would do this mock draft. Nowadays,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: mock drafts are done all the time by any number
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: of outlets, podcasts and websites and over the ear linear
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: ESPN and several others. So you can take your choice
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: on NFL dot com and NFL Network. I've followed Jordan
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: Reid quite a bit on ESPN plus on the deal
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: because his mock draft this is some exhaustive work. He
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: made all two hundred and fifty seven picks. Now, when
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: I used to do this mick draft for a Brad,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: we did the first round and he couldn't make trades.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: Just one round, twenty six picks took two nights. He
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: did his final mock draft two hundred and fifty seven picks,
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: and some of them are pretty obvious, like cam Ward
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: he has number one overall, one to Tennessee. I think
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: pretty much everybody's expecting that right that the Titans will
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: take Camore number one.
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been he's been doing a lot of uh,
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 3: he's been dropping a lot of name dropping a lot
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 3: of Tennessee Titan players and like his live streams and stuff.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 3: So it seems like he knows that the Titans are
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 3: going to take him.
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: Now Jordan Reid points out, he said, uh, he has
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: Abdul Carter, the edge rushier from Penn State and Travis
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: Hunter of Colorado both ranked higher on his board, but
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: he said the general manager, Mike Borgonzi, appears ready to
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: tie his early tenure to the top ranked quarterback in
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: the class. All right, So then he's got Travis Hunter
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: go winning Sacka to Cleveland. He's got Abdul Carter going
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: to the Giants, and number three Will Campbell to the
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: Patriots at four, Mason Graham from Michigan to the Jaguars
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: at five, Ashton Genty the Boys, he's stayed running back
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: to the Raiders at number six. So he goes on
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: down from some of the Jalen Walker for Georgia going
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: to Carolina. Number eight, Shador Sanders. He has going ninth overall,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: the Colorado quarterback Beyonsa going to the Saints. He's got
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: mikel Williams from Georgia going tenth over all to the Bears.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: He has Kelvin Banks going eleventh overall to the forty
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: nine Ers eleventh overall. Have you seen who he's got
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys taking at number twelve? Let me guess, Okay,
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's got to be a receiver.
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: So uh huh.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: The hot name that I've seen lately is our own
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: Matthew Golden. Is it Matthew Golden. It's not Matthew Golden.
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 3: It's a receiver. It is a receiver.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: Is it Tita Row McMillan. Yep, interesting, Yep, yep, he's
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: got him. He's got McMillan there at twelve, and then
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: he's got Jatte Baron going to the Dolphins the very
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: next pick at thirteen thirteen rather uh huh. Just scrolling
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: through a few, he has Matthew Golden going eighteenth overall
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: to the Seahawks, So that would be three long horns
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: in the first eighteen.
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: Picks if it happens that way.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: He's got the Steelers taking Jackson Dart, the Omens quarterback.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 2: At twenty one.
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: He has the Texas a and m edge rusher Shamar
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: Stewart going to the Packers.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: At twenty three.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: He's got the Texans taking Tyler Booker, the guard from Alabama.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: Twenty five.
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: He has the Rams taking Malachi Starks, the Georgia safety
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: at twenty six. There's many outside of this first round.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: It just kind of screams off the Josh Simmons, the
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: Ohio State offensive tackles of the Chiefs at thirty one,
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: and the last pick number thirty.
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: Two, he has Walter Nolan.
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: So anyway, he's got Jaylen Milroe from Alabama going to
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: the Browns with the first pick in the second round.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: Off of that, a couple other names.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: Travion Henderson, the running back from Ohio State going thirty
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: ninth overall to the Bears in the second round. Let's
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: see what it was it quin Shawn Judkins, the Ohio
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: State running back going to the Cowboys in the second
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 1: round at number forty four overall.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 3: I got a feeling it'll be receiver, running back, defensive
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 3: line or maybe receiver defensive line running back in the
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 3: first three rounds for the Cowboys.
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: He has the Chargers taking Alfred Collins at the fifty
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: fifth overall pick in the second round. So that's four
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: in the first two rounds for the for the Longhorns.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 1: And of course, like we said, they had eleven he's got.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: He's got the Giants taking Tyler Shuck, the Louisville quarterback
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: in the third round.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 3: He's I saw a thing today about could he go
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 3: in the first round? What do we do in your guys?
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 2: Kidding me? Tyler shuck. He's he's I'm almost the same
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: age as him. Yeah, I remember he was coming out
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 2: of high school, because yes, you're exactly right.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 1: My goodness, he's got He's got Andrew mccouba going to
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 1: the Bears early in the third round, seventy second overall pick,
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: so that's five. He's got the Cowboys taking Shamar Turner
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: from A and M the defensive tackle in the third round.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: So that's just kind of a cross section in in
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: uh looking.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: Uh He's got the Rams taking Jack Back, the wide
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: receiver from TCU in the third rounds got Devin ne
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: L the Kansas running back, going to the Texans in
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: the third round as well. Uh so that's kind of
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: a cross section of what that's just one one mock
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: draft pick there, just so you know. Also, let me
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: look for the Cowboys. Cowboys don't have a fourth round pick.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: I think it was given up in a trade if
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: I remember correctly. Yeah.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: Ye, he has the Cowboys taking Denzel Burke, the Ohio
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: State corner in the fifth round. Uh.
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: Then in round six, gosh.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 3: I got a lot of Rams, a lot, a lot
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 3: of compensatory compensatory, compensatory, compensatory that's a tough pick.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I got like two of those in the
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 2: sixth round.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: He has the Rams taking Dylan Gabriel and he has
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 1: the Chargers taking Jake Majors in that sixth So anyway,
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: there's that. And by the way, in case you're wondering
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 1: who mister irrelevant would be, last pick, Max and Hook
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: a safety from Toledo going to the Chiefs number two
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: fifty seven.
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: So there you are. There you all right. We'll be
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: back to wrap it up at thirteen hundred zone.
