Speaker 6: The SEC League office has announced the school's men's basketball opponents.
5:48
Speaker 6: Bucky let that slip yesterday in talking to the media
5:53
Speaker 6: Home games for the Aggies Alabama, Arkansas, A, Georgia, Oklahoma,
6:04
Speaker 6: Tennessee away at Florida at Kentucky at Ole, Miss at
6:11
Speaker 6: Mississippi State at Missouri out South Carolina, and the three
6:16
Speaker 6: home and away teams will be LSU, Texas and Vanderbilt.
6:24
Speaker 6: The whole schedule should be released fairly soon. Let's see
6:29
Speaker 6: if it says this doesn't give a date exactly. We
6:36
Speaker 6: know A and M will also play Stanford in the
6:40
Speaker 6: ACC Challenge. That still sounds weird. They'll play Oklahoma State
6:45
Speaker 6: at home. They will play Florida State in Houston, among
6:51
Speaker 6: others on their schedule. Let's see. Let's do this one
6:58
Speaker 6: because it has a little bit to do with basketball,
7:03
Speaker 6: although not a ton Caleb Williams. He's a quarterback, right
7:10
Speaker 6: Trey Caleb Williams. He wants to trademark the name Iceman, Well,
7:21
Speaker 6: he's an idiot. There's only one Iceman. There will only
7:26
Speaker 6: ever be one Iceman. That's George Gervin NBA Hall of Famer.
7:37
Speaker 6: The trademark is possessed by UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Ladell.
7:45
Speaker 6: The United States Patent and Trademark Office has refused the
7:49
Speaker 6: Bear's quarterback application. These marks are identical in appearance, sound,
7:55
Speaker 6: and meaning. Additionally, because they're identical, these marks are likely
7:59
Speaker 6: to engender the same connotation and overall commercial impression when
8:02
Speaker 6: considering connection with the applicants. This sounds like the government
8:05
Speaker 6: doesn't Lacrosse, an Oregon based footwear company, owns the trademark
8:14
Speaker 6: Iceman for one of its boots and boot liners. Again,
8:20
Speaker 6: there's only one Iceman. This kid is too young to know.
8:26
Speaker 6: In fact, when he dubbed himself by the way, I
8:32
Speaker 6: don't think you could dub yourself. I think other people
8:35
Speaker 6: have to do that. Okay, that doesn't work. Ice was
8:41
Speaker 6: given that name. He wears that name pry proudly. And again,
8:48
Speaker 6: you can't give yourself that name. This kid didn't even
8:51
Speaker 6: know who George Gervin was.
8:52
Speaker 7: That's a fact. They asked him about it. When he said,
8:55
Speaker 7: I'm the iceman.
8:56
Speaker 6: I think what happened this last season, didn't it? Trey,
8:58
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure all this during the season, I'm the Iceman.
9:02
Speaker 6: Now you're not get something else, go another direction. Chris
9:08
Speaker 6: Ever today on social media, posted that her ovarian cancer
9:14
Speaker 6: has returned, Ever, announcing she will not be part of
9:18
Speaker 6: the Wimbledon coverage this year, quoting I've already undergone surgery
9:24
Speaker 6: as the first step in my retreatment and recovery, and
9:27
Speaker 6: will begin chemotherapy in the coming weeks. Overian cancer is relentless,
9:35
Speaker 6: but I will stay optimistic and determined to continue to
9:40
Speaker 6: fight this battle. Connor McGregor is returning to competition in
9:47
Speaker 6: the first time in five years next month at UFC
9:51
Speaker 6: three point twenty nine. The Irish Stars admits he was
9:56
Speaker 6: derailed by success and fame over the past decade. You
10:01
Speaker 6: think it's his first appearance inside the octagon since he
10:05
Speaker 6: broke its leg during a TKA loss in July of
10:11
Speaker 6: twenty twenty one. In an interview with Paramount, McGregor says
10:15
Speaker 6: fame has its pitfalls. You better move carefully in this world,
10:20
Speaker 6: for sure, probably even more so now. I've taken a
10:24
Speaker 6: lot of lessons in my life. It's just about self discovery.
10:30
Speaker 6: I find myself even now still in a fight with
10:32
Speaker 6: an old version of me or old ways that don't
10:36
Speaker 6: serve me. Connor net never met a party or a
10:40
Speaker 6: drink he didn't like and the lear Field Director's Cup

15:32
Speaker 7: Okay, we're gonna talk. We're gonna hear from Bucky.
15:36
Speaker 6: He visited with reporters yesterday, opened up practice for a
15:40
Speaker 6: little while. Lots of new faces, just like there were
15:45
Speaker 6: last year, and just like there's going to be every
15:48
Speaker 6: year with nil.
15:49
Speaker 7: This is not anything.
15:51
Speaker 6: New, but he had a little time to get a
15:55
Speaker 6: team together. So let's hear from the Aggie basketball coach.
16:00
Speaker 3: Summer's starting to get rolling.
16:02
Speaker 11: Just what's been your observation about the group that you've
16:04
Speaker 11: put together.
16:05
Speaker 12: They work hard, I'll say that, I mean they grinders,
16:08
Speaker 12: They play hard, work hard. Last year's group had a
16:11
Speaker 12: bunch of new guys who are a little bit older.
16:13
Speaker 12: These guys aren't as old, but and sometimes we got
16:17
Speaker 12: an older group. They kind of understand they got to
16:19
Speaker 12: pace themselves a little bit, and this group has no.
16:22
Speaker 3: Pace to them. They got those younger legs, so they
16:24
Speaker 3: can rind and expect to be there now and at
16:26
Speaker 3: the end of the season. I think they you know,
16:29
Speaker 3: this time of your fun when you bring.
16:30
Speaker 12: A new team together, trying to figure out what role
16:32
Speaker 12: people can play, and I think it's exciting for the coaches,
16:35
Speaker 12: but it's also exciting for.
16:37
Speaker 3: The players just to kind of where they fit into
16:38
Speaker 3: the to the puzzle.
16:40
Speaker 4: Last year, you try to take the test player available
16:45
Speaker 4: from the lock that you have.
16:47
Speaker 3: This year, you were able to kind of look at
16:49
Speaker 3: different positions. How was it different for you?
16:51
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think we got a good balance of shooting
16:54
Speaker 12: and slashing and big you know, I mean, I think
16:56
Speaker 12: we've made had some big improvement just with our own guys.
17:00
Speaker 3: You know, I think Jamie Vince has come a long
17:01
Speaker 3: wrong way. It's really improved. But you know, last year
17:05
Speaker 3: we took a lot of shooting, not a lot of straight.
17:07
Speaker 12: This year we'll have a little more positional size, and
17:11
Speaker 12: we have true slashers and vanished creators and and you know,
17:14
Speaker 12: the ladies of the season goes, you're gonna need guys
17:16
Speaker 12: that can kind of get some bucket and I think
17:18
Speaker 12: we've got some guys that can do that.
17:20
Speaker 3: Go just interviewed one of them. You know that one
17:22
Speaker 3: of the religious scores knows.
17:23
Speaker 12: How to put the ball in the hole when the
17:25
Speaker 12: covers just really tight as a season go you wrong?
17:28
Speaker 5: And how how much you rotated guys last year?
17:30
Speaker 6: Do you feel like the deep is the same better
17:33
Speaker 6: than the last year?
17:35
Speaker 12: Well, you know, we still don't have McKenzie out there,
17:37
Speaker 12: and we still don't have.
17:38
Speaker 3: Zach out there.
17:39
Speaker 12: So you put those out there, and you know, you
17:41
Speaker 12: look like you got you can find ten good players
17:43
Speaker 12: that can play, you know, I mean, now that's to
17:46
Speaker 12: be determined.
17:47
Speaker 3: I mean, just on that floor.
17:48
Speaker 12: You got to have everybody buying into playing hard unselfish.
17:51
Speaker 12: We certainly have enough talent to play ten guys, you know,
17:54
Speaker 12: and so it's a that's.
17:56
Speaker 3: Up to them.
17:57
Speaker 13: How close is how close is McKenzie And just what's
17:59
Speaker 13: kind of sackback right now?
18:01
Speaker 3: He just he had the surgery aft of the season.
18:03
Speaker 12: He'll be back here like early July, and McKenzie's pretty close.
18:06
Speaker 12: He'll be back here in July as well.
18:08
Speaker 3: So he's been doing all this stuff with just non contact.
18:13
Speaker 3: He was unbelievable the practice before this one.
18:17
Speaker 12: He was just okay today, but he was really really
18:20
Speaker 12: one of the better practices I've ever seen to him have.
18:23
Speaker 3: But what I appreciate most of PJ Man he's trying
18:26
Speaker 3: to make the right play. Like he you know, is
18:28
Speaker 3: a lead.
18:28
Speaker 12: Return score in college basketball, so you would think he
18:31
Speaker 12: would just be searching for shots, but he's really tried
18:33
Speaker 12: to make the right play and play hard and on
18:37
Speaker 12: both sides of the ball. Like I mean, he came here,
18:39
Speaker 12: he wants to win, and I mean he knows if
18:41
Speaker 12: he wants to win, like you know, he's got to
18:43
Speaker 12: involve others and he's been trying to do that more
18:47
Speaker 12: and I think he's gonna pay off our team.
18:49
Speaker 6: What was his recruitment in the kind of process how
18:52
Speaker 6: y'all spotted that he could be interested and look that relationship.
18:56
Speaker 12: Yeah, well, you know, our coach is do a great job.
18:59
Speaker 12: Frank had a relationship a little bit with his father
19:02
Speaker 12: and you know he you know, he's.
19:05
Speaker 3: A Houston kids is right down the road.
19:07
Speaker 12: A lot of schools were after him and he when
19:10
Speaker 12: it comes to place he could win and this was
19:12
Speaker 12: close to home, which help play style matter, you know,
19:15
Speaker 12: because he was the best years or when it's an
19:17
Speaker 12: up and down system. But I mean, you know, as
19:20
Speaker 12: long as I've coached basketball, I've never seen players that
19:22
Speaker 12: are really happy if they don't win.
19:25
Speaker 3: They don't like the people they're doing.
19:26
Speaker 12: It with, and they don't see themselves playing in the
19:29
Speaker 12: role that they saw themselves.
19:30
Speaker 3: That usually relates to play style, right. If you're an
19:32
Speaker 3: up and down player.
19:33
Speaker 12: And you're playing half court basketball, it's husually difficult transition.
19:37
Speaker 12: So in his last year, he wanted to check all
19:38
Speaker 12: the box.
19:39
Speaker 11: You're looking at that port of class with there any
19:41
Speaker 11: I don't know, with any surprises.
19:42
Speaker 3: Surprise gets for you guys when you look back on
19:44
Speaker 3: to be able to bring in those these guys are
19:47
Speaker 3: what they what they were.
19:49
Speaker 12: We do obviously a lot of deep dive when we
19:52
Speaker 12: were recruiting players.
19:55
Speaker 3: You don't know how well some of the mid major
19:57
Speaker 3: guys will adjust until they're here.
20:00
Speaker 12: Sometimes it's just an adjustment for him until they can
20:02
Speaker 12: kind of get their sea legs under him. But you know,
20:05
Speaker 12: coming from mid major, you know you have Shelley who
20:09
Speaker 12: just had a we're going to practice two times, he's
20:11
Speaker 12: been out angered. Who's gonna be a really good player
20:13
Speaker 12: for US, art Tyshawn Archie Archie and he's a flaker.
20:17
Speaker 3: It reminds me of the kid at the Hollow Hilloway
20:21
Speaker 3: from Alabama, the little dude bomber. They were really shooting
20:24
Speaker 3: in Coach Lucas Wallash.
20:25
Speaker 12: He's a mid major kid in at Samford and he
20:27
Speaker 12: was always been a forty percent plus three point shooter.
20:30
Speaker 3: So the easiest thing for mid major guys when they transfer,
20:34
Speaker 3: and this is what I look at obviously, is shooting them.
20:36
Speaker 3: Always transfer right now. If you can shoot the ball,
20:39
Speaker 3: it's going to transfer.
20:40
Speaker 14: Now.
20:40
Speaker 12: If you were some mid major slasher, you know, sometimes
20:44
Speaker 12: besides of the sec can swallow you up and that
20:46
Speaker 12: don't translate as well. Indeed, but these guys can shoot it.
20:48
Speaker 12: And Shelley's an elite player because he can slash, but
20:51
Speaker 12: he can also see the floor a little well.
20:53
Speaker 3: Len is the.
20:53
Speaker 15: Approach this summer beas the last time he didn't.
20:57
Speaker 7: Have number five at least were the first.
21:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been good.
21:02
Speaker 12: I mean, we just started getting more into offense here
21:04
Speaker 12: this past four practices. We've done a little bit more defense,
21:08
Speaker 12: but so so it's just been it's been better. We'll
21:11
Speaker 12: be better earlier. I mean, let me just say this.
21:14
Speaker 12: We should be more rady to play earlier.
21:15
Speaker 3: In the season.
21:16
Speaker 12: And we're going to take a little trip to the
21:18
Speaker 12: Bahamas and play three games down there in August, and
21:22
Speaker 12: we got to be ready to play earlier.
21:23
Speaker 3: I mean, our non league schedule is going to be good.
21:25
Speaker 3: And then we just got the the SEC schedule.
21:27
Speaker 12: We'll have the second I think the SEC this year
21:29
Speaker 12: because of a lot of money we spent on rosters
21:32
Speaker 12: this year. I mean, and the SEC has been the
21:35
Speaker 12: last the best league the last two three years, will
21:37
Speaker 12: be the best league this year, and I think it'll
21:39
Speaker 12: be the best it's.
21:40
Speaker 3: Ever been this year. And when I look at it and.
21:42
Speaker 12: We just got the schedule back what our schedule be,
21:45
Speaker 12: and we'll have the second partest schedule in the league.
21:48
Speaker 12: So it's going to be a tough, tough schedule, which
21:51
Speaker 12: is I should wake the upbrate of practice, right, So
21:53
Speaker 12: I know we lost. So you know, our two play
21:55
Speaker 12: opponent in the years and last year was Oklahoma, will
21:59
Speaker 12: go to this year'll be Las, thank you Texas, and
22:01
Speaker 12: then we'll go to Vanderbilt. So at home for our games,
22:04
Speaker 12: we'll have, you know, Vanderbilts to project the top fifteen
22:07
Speaker 12: team in a lot of people's minds. LSU would be
22:09
Speaker 12: really good, tex waull be really good obviously, play all
22:12
Speaker 12: those teams at home, and then we got to come
22:14
Speaker 12: into the house Arkansas, we got Alabama, we got Auburn,
22:19
Speaker 12: we got Georgia.
22:20
Speaker 3: And we got Tennessee coming. I'm leaving a couple out.
22:23
Speaker 12: And then you go on the road to Florida, to Missouri,
22:26
Speaker 12: to Kentucky, all hard places to play, Ole miss Mission,
22:29
Speaker 12: the state, South Carolina.
22:30
Speaker 3: So very tough schedule.
22:32
Speaker 12: So these guys, that's what gets you going that last
22:36
Speaker 12: year's team, which you believe it because we're trying to
22:38
Speaker 12: eat I know it's Rainey but have.
22:39
Speaker 7: You seen anybody else kind of blossom into that role yet?
22:43
Speaker 12: You know, it really needs to come first from the returners,
22:45
Speaker 12: But unfortunately some of these guys haven't been out there
22:48
Speaker 12: besides Jamie. And then Niko is obviously here as a
22:51
Speaker 12: as a gray shirt freshman. But you know, we got
22:54
Speaker 12: to see Zach and McKenzie get back and take ownership
22:57
Speaker 12: in that. I've known Lucas Wall for a long time.
23:00
Speaker 12: He's gonna lead by example and vocal in Wasted. He
23:03
Speaker 12: knows our system. He played from at Stanford a couple
23:05
Speaker 12: of years ago. I recruited since he was sixteen years old.
23:08
Speaker 12: He can play in the SEC because he can shoot
23:12
Speaker 12: the ball and he's strong enough. And then I know
23:14
Speaker 12: Kate Phillip for a long time and he was a
23:16
Speaker 12: captain of the Tennessee team when they went to the
23:19
Speaker 12: lead AD a couple of years ago.
23:21
Speaker 3: So I expect big things from them.
23:23
Speaker 12: Known Jalen res actually coach Jalen Reese and the Jordans
23:26
Speaker 12: coach with his dad and the Jordan Classics.
23:28
Speaker 3: I've known his family a long time. He's got leadership
23:31
Speaker 3: as a point guard.
23:33
Speaker 12: And then Pj's obviously been a leader out here as well,
23:35
Speaker 12: so they're doing their different ways. Now Rashan had a
23:38
Speaker 12: different way of doing it. It's hard to replace with
23:40
Speaker 12: Sean a collective who We've got to find a way.
23:42
Speaker 3: You mentioned a lot of money he's spent across the
23:44
Speaker 3: se secret rosters. Do you have an idea of what
23:46
Speaker 3: a competitive rosters worked this year? Well, i'd say y'all
23:51
Speaker 3: go look at with Sean Miller said, I think that's
23:53
Speaker 3: pretty much accurate.
23:54
Speaker 12: You know what he said with where people are and
23:58
Speaker 12: just what people some places are spending. You know, my
24:02
Speaker 12: ovel and mentioned this the other day, is just where's
24:05
Speaker 12: the threshold for longevity of what we're trying to accomplish.
24:09
Speaker 12: And that's always a deal, of course for schools that
24:11
Speaker 12: want to be good at multiple sports, and so.
24:13
Speaker 3: I'm not even talking about us. We certainly wanted to
24:15
Speaker 3: get at multiple sports.
24:16
Speaker 12: But I think that's where, you know, that's where you
24:20
Speaker 12: really try to pay attention to where does where you
24:23
Speaker 12: and the green or where you becoming the red.
24:24
Speaker 3: At some point. But in a sport like men's basketball
24:27
Speaker 3: that for the most part is usually been profitable, we'll
24:29
Speaker 3: see if you can be profitable going forward price and
24:31
Speaker 3: officially then getting clearance spending in ci A. No, we
24:34
Speaker 3: we're waiting on his waiver status. So we're waiting to
24:37
Speaker 3: see right now, give an ideas when you don't make
24:39
Speaker 3: it that sometime in the next month we host Yell.
24:45
Speaker 6: Start the season stronger as a big part of that,
24:50
Speaker 6: and you think you guys will.
24:51
Speaker 15: Learn a lot about the team then.
24:52
Speaker 12: And then what do you hope the guds do? You
24:55
Speaker 12: get a little more practice time and then obviously playing games.
24:58
Speaker 12: You know, Uh, teams that I've coached, I don't know
25:02
Speaker 12: why the first two three games of the year, we've
25:05
Speaker 12: never we have a big jump after.
25:07
Speaker 3: The first three or four games. Literally every team I've coached.
25:09
Speaker 12: We've got to coach a team at Sanford years ago
25:12
Speaker 12: that lost our first two games and we were awful
25:15
Speaker 12: in the first couple, and then we went on around
25:17
Speaker 12: seventeen in a row. Last year we were very similar, right,
25:19
Speaker 12: we we about two at first four, then we you know,
25:21
Speaker 12: had a good run there.
25:23
Speaker 3: Hopefully we go to the Bahamas if we.
25:25
Speaker 12: Lose those first two down there because they don't count, right,
25:27
Speaker 12: and then we're ready to go.
25:28
Speaker 3: But now I think it'll be good. I think it's
25:29
Speaker 3: good team bonding. We say something. I'm sorry, pre did okay,
25:32
Speaker 3: the three non conference scheduling stuff. You could tell us
25:35
Speaker 3: six second team. Yeah, I can forget off the top
25:37
Speaker 3: of my head.
25:37
Speaker 12: I know we're gonna play in the Battle of Atlantis
25:40
Speaker 12: or the Return of the Bahamas.
25:42
Speaker 3: They guess untill wherever they had to do. They listen
25:44
Speaker 3: to Atlanta.
25:46
Speaker 12: We're gonna play Zavier and we're gonna play Marquette down there.
25:49
Speaker 12: We're playing TCU at TCU. We had the acc challenge.
25:53
Speaker 12: They gave us Stanford in that one.
25:55
Speaker 3: We got Oklahoma state here at home. Even one of
26:00
Speaker 3: the one of the power files out there, a state
26:02
Speaker 3: larda state larders state. We'll play them here here in Texas.
26:06
Speaker 3: They not, I believe Houston, right. Two trips to the Bahamas,
26:10
Speaker 3: two trips to the Bahamas.
26:13
Speaker 16: I know you'll still have a roster spot over in
26:16
Speaker 16: an if so are y'all are you all gonna do
26:17
Speaker 16: anything with it?
26:18
Speaker 12: We're kind of a waiting see. You know, we got
26:20
Speaker 12: a we got a roster spot. We're waiting to see
26:22
Speaker 12: and we may feel.
26:22
Speaker 3: It, we may not, you know, is Marcus the situation
26:26
Speaker 3: kind of dependent on that.
26:26
Speaker 6: In a way.
26:27
Speaker 12: We'll wait on Marcus situation, but you know, you know
26:33
Speaker 12: it's a half courts it's it's minimally a half courts
26:35
Speaker 12: shot for that one.
26:37
Speaker 3: Feel like the element of surprise is kind of.
26:39
Speaker 14: Gone with last year.
26:40
Speaker 17: We're all us learning Buck Bull.
26:43
Speaker 14: Feel like opponents, we're going to know.
26:44
Speaker 6: What Bucky Bull is and it is.
26:46
Speaker 12: You know, I think everybody's going to adjust and in
26:49
Speaker 12: their own way and be better. But hopefully we're better
26:51
Speaker 12: at what we do, right, you know, I mean i'd
26:53
Speaker 12: say this. I mean, uh, Nate went to the Ocean
26:57
Speaker 12: at Bama. They went to the first year in the league,
26:59
Speaker 12: they were pretty decent.
27:00
Speaker 3: The next year they won the SEC. Right, We're at Samford.
27:02
Speaker 3: We had our worst year was our first year, and
27:04
Speaker 3: then we went on to have our best years after that.
27:07
Speaker 3: So everybody gets more familiar to what to what you do.
27:11
Speaker 12: But the most important thing is are your players doing
27:13
Speaker 12: what they do the best And that's what matters the most.
27:15
Speaker 12: I can promise you, no matter who we play, gonna
27:18
Speaker 12: be more ready for what we.
27:19
Speaker 3: Do than our players are ready to do what we do.
27:21
Speaker 12: And that goes in reversed, right, I mean, you know,
27:23
Speaker 12: like we play Florida, like we can know what they do.
27:26
Speaker 12: But they're gonna know a pre day and good too,
27:28
Speaker 12: So we just got to find a way.
27:29
Speaker 18: To toughen up and stop them somewhere more curious for
27:33
Speaker 18: tonight at me a draft, like how badly do you
27:36
Speaker 18: like to build this stup to where you know you're
27:39
Speaker 18: getting that exposure from Aggie's getting drafted.
27:41
Speaker 6: Obviously it's kind of drought.
27:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to build. I want to build this
27:45
Speaker 3: up so bad that we've won won so much.
27:49
Speaker 12: So much here that every Aggie supporter wants to support
27:53
Speaker 12: this program so much. So we don't have any players
27:55
Speaker 12: go in the NBA Draft because we pay them so
27:57
Speaker 12: dang much here they never want.
27:58
Speaker 3: To leave, you know, that's the goal.
28:00
Speaker 12: Now, when the eligibility is done, I hope we'll hear
28:02
Speaker 12: them in that first round and early in that first round.
28:05
Speaker 7: That's Bucky and.
28:09
Speaker 6: I like that we're paying players so much they don't
28:13
Speaker 6: want to go to the NBA. A better schedule non
28:19
Speaker 6: conference this year, the Battle for Atlantis in Nassau with
28:27
Speaker 6: Xavier Marquette playing TCU, hosting Stanford, Oklahoma State playing Florida
28:35
Speaker 6: State in Houston.
28:37
Speaker 7: So six power five teams. That's good like that.
28:45
Speaker 6: And just we talked about the schedule earlier. Schedule is
28:50
Speaker 6: challenging in the SEC, very.
28:55
Speaker 7: Challenging.
28:56
Speaker 6: The league today announcing who is playing where, but not
29:04
Speaker 6: win quite yet. Nashville will still host the postseason tournament.
29:13
Speaker 6: They say the dates and times will be released at
29:16
Speaker 6: a later date. It shouldn't be too terribly long. Teams
29:22
Speaker 6: want to sell tickets and fans want to know when
29:26
Speaker 6: games are before I think they buy everything.
29:31
Speaker 7: But again, home and away.
29:32
Speaker 6: They'll play LSU twice, Texas twice, Vanderbilt twice. They will
29:38
Speaker 6: host Alabama, Arkansas, Uburn, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee. That is quite
29:43
Speaker 6: a home schedule. They will play at Florida, at Kentucky, Ole,
29:49
Speaker 6: miss Mississippi State, Missouri, South Carolina.
29:53
Speaker 7: So the schedule, it'll be challenging enough, that's for sure.
30:00
Speaker 19: Uh.
30:00
Speaker 7: This just in Trey.
30:07
Speaker 3: We have a.

33:50
Speaker 15: You're well now you all right?
34:02
Speaker 6: Welcome back, Thanks for being with us. Glad to have
34:04
Speaker 6: you on this Thursday edition of the program. As we
34:10
Speaker 6: mentioned earlier, it's going to be a Tuesday tradition with
34:14
Speaker 6: Riley visiting with Ryan Targosh. Hey, we had, we had
34:22
Speaker 6: Dusty and Rusty and they're going to be back. Actually
34:26
Speaker 6: a week from Monday. We will not have a program
34:30
Speaker 6: July the third week from tomorrow. It's the official office holiday,
34:35
Speaker 6: so there'll be no program a week from tomorrow. But
34:42
Speaker 6: Ryan and Ral, Ryan and Riley, it's easy for me
34:46
Speaker 6: to say, are going to be on Tuesdays. But since
34:50
Speaker 6: we didn't have a show because of Astro's, here's this week's.
34:54
Speaker 19: Version, right, Welcome back. In My name is Riley Dorsey
34:58
Speaker 19: and joining us again is the Brothers fellow Bombers head
35:00
Speaker 19: coach Ryan Targosh for our weekly Bombers check in. So
35:04
Speaker 19: Rian It's good to catch up with you again. Last
35:07
Speaker 19: week we kind of talked about how quickly this team's
35:09
Speaker 19: connected early on the season, and now that you'll have
35:12
Speaker 19: another full week of game behind y'all. Where have I
35:15
Speaker 19: seen the most growth from this team so far?
35:19
Speaker 17: I don't think there's really any one spot that the
35:22
Speaker 17: team has grown. I think it's been overall. To be
35:25
Speaker 17: honest with you, it's good to see just the guys
35:27
Speaker 17: play good baseball. I think that's what it's all about.
35:32
Speaker 17: The guys are doing a great job of going out
35:36
Speaker 17: there and just having fun, and that's that's what I
35:39
Speaker 17: stressed them in Michell. We don't have there to have fun,
35:41
Speaker 17: and normally when you're playing the game and having fun,
35:42
Speaker 17: that's whybe you get the best baseball out of them.
35:45
Speaker 17: So that's that's kind of where I've seen big growth
35:50
Speaker 17: in the areas of baseball that that they're playing at.
35:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.
35:56
Speaker 19: Absolutely, And so I will say there was this one
35:59
Speaker 19: game that stood out to me this past week that
36:02
Speaker 19: y'all were playing against Abilene. Y'all found y'allselves down seven
36:06
Speaker 19: to zero pretty early on, and y'all still found a
36:09
Speaker 19: way to come back and wins nine to seven. So
36:12
Speaker 19: what kind of impressed you the most about the way
36:14
Speaker 19: that the team responded in that kind of situation.
36:18
Speaker 17: I mean, I think you just said it right there.
36:20
Speaker 17: It was just a response. And I've told them that
36:22
Speaker 17: from day one that it's you know, sometimes you're either
36:27
Speaker 17: the one throwing the punches or the other teams don't
36:29
Speaker 17: throw a punch back. And that's just how the game launched.
36:32
Speaker 17: And of course the score showed that Eveleene started to
36:36
Speaker 17: throw those punches early on. And I don't think the
36:39
Speaker 17: guys are really they weren't worried. I think they were
36:42
Speaker 17: just going up there and still sticking to the game plan,
36:44
Speaker 17: and that's what we did. They just kept sticking to
36:47
Speaker 17: it and then up working out in our favor. And
36:50
Speaker 17: that goes to show you that you can't you can't
36:52
Speaker 17: count anybody out whenever, if it's early in the game,
36:56
Speaker 17: late in the game, you just have to play the
36:57
Speaker 17: full nine and just whatever happens is happens.
37:01
Speaker 19: Yeah, for sure, I feel like that kind of confidence
37:04
Speaker 19: just really helps just if you're down, you can come
37:08
Speaker 19: back up. And so do you think that kind of
37:11
Speaker 19: helps y'all with these next stretch up games? Just being
37:14
Speaker 19: more confident in general with knowing what y'all can accomplish
37:17
Speaker 19: with this team.
37:19
Speaker 17: I think so I believe that the confidence is built
37:25
Speaker 17: from your preparation, and so I believe that hopefully this
37:30
Speaker 17: last week show the guys that if we just keep
37:32
Speaker 17: preparing the way that we have been preparing for these games,
37:35
Speaker 17: that it's just going to translate into the game if
37:39
Speaker 17: they if they keep doing it and so and it's
37:42
Speaker 17: it's not taking a pitch off or it's not taking
37:44
Speaker 17: anything for granted. And I think as long I mean,
37:47
Speaker 17: I know I probably said this a million times, but
37:49
Speaker 17: as long as we keep playing the game the right way,
37:51
Speaker 17: I believe things will fall and are way more chances
37:56
Speaker 17: than not for sure that that.
37:59
Speaker 19: Makes complete sense. Is there anything in specific that you
38:02
Speaker 19: think y'all are trying to focus on for like the
38:05
Speaker 19: next step for this team, or are y'all just kind
38:07
Speaker 19: of gradually working together and becoming better.
38:12
Speaker 17: I think it's the second one. I think it's just
38:14
Speaker 17: overall just continue to grow and to be better. I
38:18
Speaker 17: also stress to these guys that it's also it's not
38:21
Speaker 17: really much about the opponent. I mean, from an outside perspective,
38:27
Speaker 17: you know, we are playing an opponent we're playing a
38:29
Speaker 17: different team, but we're also playing the game within the game.
38:34
Speaker 17: I think I've said this before on the first first
38:36
Speaker 17: interview that you still have to compete against yourself and
38:39
Speaker 17: both strikes as a pitcher, as a hitter, you still
38:43
Speaker 17: have to get the ball in the strike zone and
38:44
Speaker 17: swing a good pitches. And so as long as we
38:47
Speaker 17: can continue to grow and get better playing the game
38:51
Speaker 17: within the game, I think the outcome is or we're
38:54
Speaker 17: going to get the desired outcome and not try to
38:57
Speaker 17: force the outcome to happen. It's just going and play
39:00
Speaker 17: the game within the game.
39:02
Speaker 19: Yeah, for sure, definitely just still and confidence over anything.
39:07
Speaker 19: So before I let you go, for for fans who
39:10
Speaker 19: maybe haven't made it out to Naviasoda yet this season,
39:13
Speaker 19: what do you think they'd enjoy most about watching this
39:16
Speaker 19: group and kind of what do you hope they take
39:18
Speaker 19: away from coming to a Bombers game.
39:21
Speaker 17: I mean, so far with we've played eighteen games so far,
39:27
Speaker 17: and just the atmosphere and environment that you're going to
39:30
Speaker 17: get for a summer ball team, it's just in a
39:33
Speaker 17: really awesome environment. I've I've definitely played enough baseball to
39:38
Speaker 17: kind of get a feel for a good and and
39:42
Speaker 17: maybe not so good environment, but coming to a Bomber's
39:46
Speaker 17: ball game, it's it's really fun. You know, this this
39:49
Speaker 17: team as far as having their personality, they're having a
39:54
Speaker 17: they're having a funny and fun personality. So it's good
39:59
Speaker 17: to see kind of the players get into the game
40:02
Speaker 17: and the fans kind of feed off the players good
40:05
Speaker 17: emotions and reactions. And so I think as far as
40:09
Speaker 17: a fan experience and for family time, it's a super
40:13
Speaker 17: great time, and we're hoping to get get more and
40:15
Speaker 17: more fans out there every single game.
40:17
Speaker 19: Yeah, it definitely sounds like a great atmosphere for everyone.
40:21
Speaker 19: Let's see. So I'm going to kind of finish off here.
40:24
Speaker 19: What's the kind of thing that you're most excited for
40:26
Speaker 19: about the rest of the summer. Is it traveling to
40:29
Speaker 19: these other games or just trying to get this certain record?
40:32
Speaker 19: Is there anything in specific?
40:35
Speaker 17: I think just the most important thing is just I
40:39
Speaker 17: just call it when the day and because that's the
40:42
Speaker 17: most important thing. It's for right now, it's the most
40:45
Speaker 17: important thing. It's just today. And so if we just
40:47
Speaker 17: keep stacking good days on good days, I think are
40:52
Speaker 17: our desired outcome of wanting to win the first half
40:56
Speaker 17: and the second half and the whole the whole entire
40:59
Speaker 17: thing and when Anchior ship that's gonna come later down
41:02
Speaker 17: the road. That and then just keep having fun, keep
41:07
Speaker 17: making memories. I know as a ballplayer myself, the road
41:11
Speaker 17: trips are always the most fun. You know, you're you're
41:14
Speaker 17: only with a group of guys, and that's the I mean,
41:18
Speaker 17: you're with them every single day. So as as a player,
41:20
Speaker 17: you know, they kind of turn into family some sort
41:23
Speaker 17: of way. And of course as a for a new
41:26
Speaker 17: perspective for me as a coach, you know, I'm also
41:28
Speaker 17: with them every day, so they're also some sort of family,
41:33
Speaker 17: even though it's for a short time. Uh, I still
41:36
Speaker 17: care for them, just to look out for them and
41:38
Speaker 17: just want the best for them. And so it's just
41:40
Speaker 17: making sure that even though we're playing the game and
41:43
Speaker 17: we're competing, but we're also having fun and cherish.
41:46
Speaker 5: And every moment we can with them.
41:47
Speaker 19: Yeah one, and that that bond is just something that
41:51
Speaker 19: you really you have to have to be able to
41:53
Speaker 19: just work with as a team together.
41:56
Speaker 17: M hm for sure. Sure.
41:58
Speaker 19: All right, well, perfect, Well, I think that's all I
42:01

Speaker 13: took on the Toronto Blue Jays. Houston was able to
43:42
Speaker 13: score run in the first via Nissak Parade as double,
43:45
Speaker 13: but the Blue Jays would respond with the run of
43:47
Speaker 13: their own in the first. But after that it would
43:50
Speaker 13: remain tied at one up until the eighth inning, when
43:52
Speaker 13: Houston scored on a pickoff error.
43:55
Speaker 3: The nope, throw over to third pase and he throws
43:58
Speaker 3: it away. Don't come on to into the foul round
44:01
Speaker 3: on the left side.

Speaker 13: three to one victory. The Astras are now thirty nine
44:17
Speaker 13: and forty three on the season, and the team is

45:27
Speaker 6: We've got our Clark Eisenhower Outdoor Edition coming up in
45:31
Speaker 6: the second hour of the program.
45:33
Speaker 7: You want to stay tuned for that.
45:34
Speaker 6: We've got some weird, wild, wacky animals again today, I
45:39
Speaker 6: thought i'd replay this interview I did a few weeks
45:41
Speaker 6: ago with the director of the new movie Pressure.
45:45
Speaker 7: It is still out.
45:47
Speaker 6: It is an incredible story surrounding D Day. It is
45:50
Speaker 6: appropriate because two point fifty is coming up next Saturday,
45:57
Speaker 6: July the fourth. This movie I highly recommend. The movie
46:02
Speaker 6: is called Pressure, and the director is Anthony Morris.
46:08
Speaker 7: Anthony, how are you.
46:10
Speaker 5: I'm doing well, So how are you going?
46:11
Speaker 6: I'm doing great. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I went
46:15
Speaker 6: Saturday to see it and it was just terrific and
46:18
Speaker 6: congratulations to you.
46:20
Speaker 5: Thank you, and good day for seeing it on.
46:23
Speaker 6: The Absolutely, absolutely it was a great day for seeing it.
46:28
Speaker 6: I read a little bit that that this came from
46:31
Speaker 6: from a stage play. Am I right about that?
46:34
Speaker 3: Yeah?
46:35
Speaker 4: It was a stage play that did very well on
46:38
Speaker 4: London's West End and they even played scenes for the
46:41
Speaker 4: Queen and the presidents and prime ministers of all the
46:45
Speaker 4: Allied nations who came together at the seventy fifth anniversary
46:49
Speaker 4: of D Day. And so we know we're in great
46:53
Speaker 4: debt to a fantastic play that this is based on.
46:55
Speaker 6: And then you adopted the screenplay as I understand, did
47:00
Speaker 6: you night.
47:01
Speaker 4: Yes, yep, myself and the original playwright, David Hague worked
47:05
Speaker 4: on it together.
47:06
Speaker 6: And tell me what drew you to the project when
47:10
Speaker 6: when you heard about it?
47:13
Speaker 4: You know, I did consider myself a bit of a
47:16
Speaker 4: history buff and a bit of a student of World
47:18
Speaker 4: War Two. I had no idea that the lead up
47:23
Speaker 4: to the you know, one of the biggest invasions or
47:25
Speaker 4: amphibious invasions in history.
47:28
Speaker 5: Specifically so dramatic and exciting.
47:30
Speaker 4: I had no idea that, of all things, that came
47:33
Speaker 4: down to a bloody weather report and you know that
47:37
Speaker 4: ultimately decided the fate of millions of people. And yeah,
47:42
Speaker 4: I just I just felt that the clash of personalities
47:46
Speaker 4: of these really brilliant minds but also these really big
47:50
Speaker 4: egos in the days leading up to the invasion could
47:53
Speaker 4: be so captivating. And yeah, you've got these historical titans
47:57
Speaker 4: like Eisenhower and Montgomery that we know of, but you've
48:01
Speaker 4: also got these completely unknown figures like the meteorologist James Stagg,
48:05
Speaker 4: who looked these men in the eyes and basically told
48:09
Speaker 4: them the exact thing that they didn't want to hear
48:12
Speaker 4: forty eight hours out from D Day, which is, if
48:14
Speaker 4: you do what you're planning to do, you know most
48:17
Speaker 4: of your men, if not all of them, are going
48:18
Speaker 4: to die and it's something they didn't want to hear,
48:21
Speaker 4: and then the fireworks ensued. So that was that was
48:26
Speaker 4: a lot of what got me into it. Also, I
48:28
Speaker 4: just thought it was very relevant to today, like just
48:31
Speaker 4: in what it said about leadership.
48:32
Speaker 5: And with pressure and you know, all that sort of stuff.
48:37
Speaker 6: So, yeah, well you brought it to life beautifully. Brendan
48:42
Speaker 6: Fraser as ike was terrific, and you mentioned I think
48:47
Speaker 6: he captured the idea that the kind of the weight
48:49
Speaker 6: of the world was on his decision with a literally
48:53
Speaker 6: yeah and making a decision based on a weather forecast.
48:58
Speaker 6: And as you mentioned, I had no idea either as
49:01
Speaker 6: much as I've studied this that that this is what
49:04
Speaker 6: took place the day surrounding, And to me, that's what
49:07
Speaker 6: makes a story so compelling.
49:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is.
49:11
Speaker 4: It's it's you think what these characters are going through
49:15
Speaker 4: and they had none of the modern technology that we have,
49:18
Speaker 4: Like think of how think of how difficult it is
49:21
Speaker 4: to arrange your bloody wedding, let's say, and what's the
49:23
Speaker 4: weather going to be on the wedding? But now you've
49:26
Speaker 4: got you know, three hundred thousand soldiers and sailors and
49:30
Speaker 4: then ultimately a million men that you've got to cross
49:33
Speaker 4: the channel with, and you've got Nazis shooting at them,
49:36
Speaker 4: and you've got to make the call. Do we send
49:39
Speaker 4: them or don't we send them? If we don't, you know,
49:42
Speaker 4: we might lose If we do, we might lose our army.
49:45
Speaker 3: What to do?
49:46
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's when you when you look at it
49:50
Speaker 4: like that, it's it's kind of nuts. It's kind of dramatic.
49:53
Speaker 6: The other thing that I thought I knew was that
49:56
Speaker 6: that the weather certainly wasn't perfect on D Day. There
49:59
Speaker 6: were there were certain all kinds of issues with the
50:03
Speaker 6: low ceiling, with the wave height and trying to land
50:07
Speaker 6: men on the beaches.
50:09
Speaker 7: But you mentioned in the movie and.
50:14
Speaker 6: Andrew Scott, who plays James Stagg, said, look, you're going
50:17
Speaker 6: to have a window. I'm confident you're going to have
50:20
Speaker 6: a window. And that I mean that no telling how
50:24
Speaker 6: many lives that saved.
50:26
Speaker 4: Well, they were, it's you know, it's like the proverbial,
50:30
Speaker 4: you know, trying to pass, in this case an army
50:33
Speaker 4: through the eye of a needle.
50:35
Speaker 5: They had no room for error.
50:37
Speaker 4: If they had gone on the day that they had
50:39
Speaker 4: initially planned to, which ultimately was a day earlier, yes,
50:42
Speaker 4: they would have been wiped off the map. But you know,
50:45
Speaker 4: it was only till very late in the piece. It's
50:48
Speaker 4: not like when they delayed they said, okay, well we'll
50:50
Speaker 4: just go tomorrow. Yes, the point that they delayed, they
50:53
Speaker 4: didn't know when they could go. They might never be
50:55
Speaker 4: able to go, you know, they they said originally it
50:58
Speaker 4: might not be for another few and by then the
51:02
Speaker 4: Germans probably would have found out about it and there
51:04
Speaker 4: would be no d day. Ultimately, the next clear patch
51:08
Speaker 4: that they thought that they would be able to go on,
51:10
Speaker 4: which is when the tides were in a particular way
51:13
Speaker 4: and when the moon was a particular way, wasn't until.
51:16
Speaker 5: June nineteenth, Yes, June eighteenth, nineteen.
51:20
Speaker 4: And had they waited until that point, there was a
51:25
Speaker 4: once in a forty year storm that happened at that
51:28
Speaker 4: point that would have completely smashed them as well.
51:31
Speaker 5: So the day that they.
51:32
Speaker 4: Chose to go was like literally was it was the
51:37
Speaker 4: last opportunity that they had, and you know, they bloody
51:41
Speaker 4: got it right.
51:42
Speaker 6: So yeah, tell our listeners about the conflict, especially between
51:47
Speaker 6: James Stagg played by Andrew Scott and Irving Krik that
51:52
Speaker 6: the US meteorologist.
51:54
Speaker 5: Well, the thing is, both of.
51:56
Speaker 4: Them were really brilliant, exceptional meteorologists, so we're both highly intelligent.
52:01
Speaker 4: They just had very different ways of doing things. Krick
52:05
Speaker 4: had worked with had worked with the Allies all through
52:07
Speaker 4: North Africa. Was an extremely accomplished meteorologist, but he just
52:13
Speaker 4: had a very different way of doing things. He looked
52:15
Speaker 4: back to historical records and try to extrapolate from what
52:20
Speaker 4: the weather had done in the past, ye what it
52:21
Speaker 4: was going to do now, whereas SAG was taking massive
52:26
Speaker 4: amounts of data as much as they could from the
52:29
Speaker 4: current conditions and trying to basically predict the weather based
52:34
Speaker 4: on this. And ultimately one of them, SAG said, the
52:38
Speaker 4: weather is going to be an absolute didater. Krick said,
52:42
Speaker 4: you know, what are you talking about. It's going to
52:44
Speaker 4: be sunshine and the rainbows throughout that week.
52:47
Speaker 5: Yep.
52:49
Speaker 4: And then you've got Eisenhower forced to decide between these
52:52
Speaker 4: two completely different opinions, and you know he had.
52:57
Speaker 5: Reason to believe both of them.
52:58
Speaker 4: They both were exceptional meteorologists, both proven, but ultimately he
53:05
Speaker 4: had the wisdom to you to choose correctly. And the
53:09
Speaker 4: film takes us through how it is that he got
53:12
Speaker 4: to that decision. Like in many ways, you know, it's
53:16
Speaker 4: a war story, but it's also just a story about
53:19
Speaker 4: exceptional decision making, no doubt about about how a leader
53:24
Speaker 4: you know, really comes to a considered decision that hopefully
53:28
Speaker 4: will benefit the lives of millions as opposed to kill them.
53:33
Speaker 6: So what did you learn about k Summers Be played
53:36
Speaker 6: by Kerrie Condon as the Eisenhower's aid.
53:40
Speaker 5: Well, what I was shocked by was just how tough
53:43
Speaker 5: this woman was.
53:45
