• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Hey, yeah, yes, they were and his and and his
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: son was he was his son was in a horrible position.
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: You know, I felt I really felt sorry for him,
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: and he would and he's still coaching. I think, right, yeah,
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: I really felt sorry Brian because Brian was was playing right,
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: he was the coach's son. He wasn't Tony and Tony
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: because Tony Jr. Played today and consolidated and then didn't he.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: Just whidd came in.
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: Okay, No, I think you're right. Yeah, I think they
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: boked it. But but but you're right.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: It was Tony Jr.
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: Was the one that was just in the horrible position
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: because they weren't very good and he wasn't great, but
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: nobody else, you know, they didn't have a lot of
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: great players.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: But but he took the brunt of I think the criticisms, well,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: he's just playing his son.
• 8:59
  Speaker 8: I'm going to have just looked at the bench, you know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 8: I mean it did, you know, unfortunately, and that's.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: His fault too, because you weren't recruiting. But man at
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: in basketball was had really really terrible shape back in
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: those days.
• 9:11
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: I remember doing some stories when they tore down Giraleigh, Yeah,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: and some of the history stories, and I remember talking
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: to Eddie Sutton about how, you know what shame it
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: was that A and M didn't invest in basketball. It
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: took him for so long. And then of course they
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: built the palace on the prairie over there called rid
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Arena with no suites in it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: So in fairness, back back when Ried Arena was built,
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: it wasn't an automatic that you were putting suites in facilities.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: That's true.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: Okay, well they did that at Reunion too, but that
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: was in the eight that was nineteen the late seventies.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Now when Reid opened it was nineteen ninety eight. It
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: was like, come on now, yeah, you know, let's yeah.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: And I remember it fell down first. Yes, it did collapse,
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Yes it did. And it was a sign of things
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: to come. Yes, it was in basketball.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: They brought me.
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: First of all, the coordinating board denied the building car
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: met because Richards.
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: They were going to do that because Anne Richards. You know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: but we started but we.
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: Started out with Chip and I want to make emphasize
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: that A and M had two legendary icons there when
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: you mentioned Metcalf and you mentioned Crow and we we.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: They didn't get along.
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: I don't know today if you could have a university
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: where you have two polar opposites like that, one would
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: go a lot quicker.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: You know, the fact that.
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: A and M had to And I think I'm not
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: the only one who said they were friends with boast
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: or respected both of them. Yes, I don't think today
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: in college athletics you would have two powerful people like
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: that against each other, so to speak, or not seen
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: in the same mind.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Well, you remember, at one time every athletic director was
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: also the head football coach. That's how you paid, you know, yes, Jackie, Yes,
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: that was Emery. I don't think Tom Wilson was he.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: I think he was.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, okay, so he was.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: He might have been. Yeah.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: So back then you paid the football coach more and
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: you just threw the ad role on there because they
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: just didn't eighties didn't do that much, right.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I mean Marvion Tate, he just came up, that was
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: he was there for a while.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: He was not a football No, no, I'm.
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: Just talking about athletic directors. I'm trying to count here.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: So anyway, it's just a different era. I mean, now
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: the athletic directors have to be salespeople and they have
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: to really, man, they have to be business people. No,
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: there's no doubt it. Back then that was not the case.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Hey.
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: Their job back then, Rusty was to just play golf
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: with with some of the big wigs, right, yeah.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: No, it was.
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: It was that was That was the athletic director's job.
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: It's just hey, call up so and so. He just
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: sent us a check, go play golf with them.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: We had we had a board meeting, and this was
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: my early days with twelve Man Foundations, and we were
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: at a board meeting a nice resort you know, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: John David was still I don't know he's still involved.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: He wasn't the athletic director anymore, but he was to
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: the fundraising. Yeah, so this was he They created basically
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: a space for him to be a fundraiser, and so
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: did some good things. But I remember we were at
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: this really nice resort and John David have been playing
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: golf and he sat down with all these business leaders
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: and he took off his shoes and socks and put
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: his bare feet on the table like country man.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I loved I loved him.
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: You won't you won't meet more down down to Earth
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: and and and humble Heisman Trophy winners. I mean, if
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: if people didn't know who that was, you would never
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: know that, Hey, this guy won the Heisman Trophy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: He was about his aunt.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: He would always say when you ask him that, he's like,
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: you know, I didn't win the Heisman Trophy. Bear Bryant
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: won the trophy.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Sure, I get that.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: When he said, if you don't give the Heisman trophy,
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: and they stopped giving it, and so, I mean that's
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: the first thing he would ever say.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: I mean I heard him say it over and over
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: and over. Then he never had one at Alabama. Is
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: that crazy?
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Crazy?
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's nuts when you think about it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's down with them member one time or with
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: the fumous. He said something. He looked at me, he goes,
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: if you call me.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: I'll kill you.
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: You know what, in those days, you can do that,
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: you could do right, you can't. But because there there
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: has become And I never thought, uh, you know what.
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: I went to school right during and right after Watergate.
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: So so the job was you're going to be a reporter,
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: and I was going to be reporting, and I was
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: That's that's what I like to do. But it got
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: me in trouble, obviously a lot of trouble. But it
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: was never my job to be friends with the people
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: I was covering. It's not my job to be friends
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: with the athletes that I'm covering. I never thought that
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: it's nicer if you have a relationship with them. For sure,
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: you may get stories that you wouldn't get if you're
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: if you're trying to be their enemy and not their friend.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: But I I never approached and and I know you
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: didn't either.
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: Wasn't it's not your job to be their best friend
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: because you have a job to do.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, were you going to be Woodward or Burnstein? I
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: was gonna be both, Okay, I was going to be
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: one of the too. Yeah, And then the reality is
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: I was like, I can't make any money and exactly
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: for business, so I'm gonna go with PR and then
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna be a fan.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: And I've been a lot more money and a lot happier.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Well, it's a lot happier, and the relationships were a
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: lot more better relationships.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, But again I would.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: Be the first to tell people that for many, many
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: years I was not a journalist. I was a PR
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: guy promoting. Yes, now, I didn't try to blow smoke,
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: you know when when things were awful. But then I
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: just remember when I left The Twelfth Man, I was like,
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: I can say that I wont like, you.
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: Know, crazy Homer kind of bit his tongue in a
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: half a lot of times when it was on the
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: air with me because he knew he wanted to say things,
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: but he knew his job didn't permit him to do it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was I said something about the bad mouth.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Jake's babbodall pardoned me forgive me because the problem was
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: above that, and that just created more like Yeah, hysteria that.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Of course, I didn't realize at the time.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: What that little moniker meant because I had like I
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: was still twelve Man rusty, which I should have given up,
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: you know a long time ago after I left. Yes,
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: and that was a mistake that I made. It wasn't
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: me criticizing kem someone because oh my gosh, someone was
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: he needed to be criticized. But yeah, it was just
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: that role. I remember Dave South got real mad at
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: me and he was like, you should not be doing that.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: I was like, well, I'm not employed by twelve Man anymore.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: I can kind of say what I want right right,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: Oh he can't.
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: Luckily, for a long time I was a sports enter
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: but I was basically covered high schools. It helped out
• 15:59
  Speaker 9: on a him so I could write the tough columns.
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: I didn't want Larry because he was out there. It's
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: a tough situation because of a small town, yes, and
• 16:06
  Speaker 9: everybody read the paper, so you had to be careful.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: It was hard to say, like what you guys suck
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: and they go out there the next But you.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: Know, I always thought the coaches around here, for the
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: most part, for the most part, especially locally, sees they
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: had a much easier job than than you know, coaches
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: in bigger markets. Right now, there were other papers that
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: would come in and I think surprise some of the
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: coaches with their questions and how they approached their job
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: because they were coming in from Dallas and Houston, right
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: and their job was, you know, was a little bit different.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: But they didn't have to live here, right, They don't
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: have to live here. On the other.
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: Hand, what was interesting back in the like the Jackie
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: Sheryl days, is that he could pick up the phone
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: and call mytation owner or general manager and register a complaint,
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: which he did, but he would never do that in
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: Houston or Dallas because he would know better.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: He wouldn't.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: They would laugh at him, they go, so, what's your problem?
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: But we're the ones that sees and you know this
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: because we're local. They pick up the phone and call
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: you right or call your boss and say, hey, you
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: need to pull this guy off.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Have you read what he's writing lately?
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: And I think so much of the animosity between the
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: media and coaches can stem back to Dallas for Worth,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: and in the su well at tex A and m
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: first because they messed up. I can't remember I guess
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: it was Dale Hanson who said, you know, they sent
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Jerry Or down here to pin down Kevin Murray. And
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: basically they had a lot of things in line, and
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: apparently Kevin had a a Camaro that had been given
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: to him, but it was Jerry was camped out from
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: the wrong camaro and so Kevin Mercy, that is absolutely
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: not my car. And when they dug into it wasn't.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: So Jerry Or goes back to Dallas and he says,
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: you know that's where except we better have all of
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: our i's dotted and tease crossed before we go after
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: anybody else. So when they went after SMU, they had
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: so thoroughly investigated things that it was just a whole
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: different sce.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: So I know we've talked about this before.
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: It's one of my favorite stories, and Dell Hanson nobody
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: can tell it like del Hanson tells it. But when
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: all of this stuff was going on, and the final
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: blow was it was when they had Henry Lee Parker
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: with the SMU logo and the envelope with his initials.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: He puts his initials on there HLP and he shows
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: him this envelope. He goes, well, Dyvid Stanley says that
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: you sent this check on this envelope to him, and
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: and the look on Henry Lee Parker's face when that
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: camera is rolling and still priceless today and he looks
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: as his athletic director and nah, that's not mine. But
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: aren't those your initials in that the station letterhead? The
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: station let him try, okay, but Hansen goes all he
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: would have had to say in that situation is, yes,
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: that's mine. I had to send him an insurance form
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: for his mom to sign, but yeah, that's that's my initials.
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: That's that's my envelope. But he didn't do it, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: Hansen said, we would have been back at square one
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: in our investigation.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Back to the A and M. I think they kind
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: of told Tom Turville that they were going to interview
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: Kevin Murray for the game story. Yes, they did, and
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: then when they interviewed him, they they had nothing to
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: do with game, I mean Tom with it ide and
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: he was just like he was as stunned as Kevin
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: or anybody else. Yes, So, yeah, a lot of that
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: stuff I remember many years later, right in the early
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: days of the ticket up in Dallas for it worse, right, So,
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: they were doing a magazine also, and they had hired
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: me to do a magazine story along with Scott Monsrout,
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: who used to be my editor at the pot Worth
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Star Telegraphs. So Scott hired me to do this and
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: he's like, we need to come out with a good story.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Open up. So I did you know Lance mclhane. He
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: was a realtor in the Dallas there. I said, that'd
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: be great story. Where are you now? When are you doing?
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: So?
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: I asked Lats about those days and he, you know,
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: He's like, I'm not gonna throw everything out there, but
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: I will tell you this. This is my favorite story.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: It's like I'm at a bar with Craig James after
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: a big win. And Craig James is from Houston, very
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: very nice part of Houston, but I'm from Holland Park
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: and so we go out to a bar and we
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: see all these s m u lums and they all
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: know I'm from Holland Park and I shake hands with
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: some guys and I've got like a They give me
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: a ten dollar bill and Craig James is over there
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: and he just he comes over and he said, I
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: got like six one bills and he Michael Lane is like,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: what the heck did you tell him?
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: I said, I said, I'm from inner city Houston.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: So I just love that story.
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: What would it take to get a thousand?
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think they're just one hundred dollars bills
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: that they're handing out this far after.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: My favorite coach, Ron going into the.
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: Locker rooms of high schools with Ron with Ron Meyer
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: with one hundred dollars bill and his phone number on
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: their tacked to the bulletin board of these high schools
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: of players he was recruiting, and they asked him about
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: this years later, and it is just fantastic.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: And he looks and he goes, that sounds like something
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: I might have done.
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: And I tell you, if we were back in those days,
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: I think we'd be a lot better off. I think
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: college sports would be a lot better off.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: I think we're back in those days.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: No, except there were thousands.
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: It's legal, and now there's millions of dollars the stuff.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: But you know what I love the most when SMU
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: came out with the ACC poster is they had the
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: golden camaro on. Oh yes they did, so I embrace it, baby,
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: And they they had I don't.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Know if you saw the vidio.
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: They did promotions right, and they had James and Dickerson
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: in the in the car, in the convertible cross sing
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: the bridge into downtown Dallas, and it's like, what what
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: else are you going to do?
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: A and M thought they had They thought they had
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Eric Dickerson.
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: They did well, and in fairness, there were a lot
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: of teams that thought they had Eric Dickerson. Oklahoma thought
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: they had Eric Dickerson. LSU thought they had Eric Dickerson.
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: Eric did very well by himself, and you know what,
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: looking back on it, he was underpaid.
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: Well.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: I will say this too about John Davis. As we
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: brought this up to start, many of his teammates at
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: A and M would tell me that he took a
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: serious pay cut when he went to the NFL. I mean,
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying that.
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: That's look, we know this has been going on since
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: Teddy Roosevelt was oppressibly right, So it's not new.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: It's just if you think about what Bearon did to
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: recruit guys here too. Yeah, you know, sing sing on
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: the browses, yes, with no women.
• 23:51

  Speaker 5: Yeah, he said, we can't bring him to campus. We
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: got to recruit him in dolls.
• 24:00

• 28:18
  Speaker 4: As I told you.
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: In the first hour, I know you find this hard
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: to believe that we don't rehearse any of this or
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: talk ahead of time about the topics.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Remember you know that it sounds so professional.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: We're going to go back to the excellon radio network.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: I go back, I go back to the humble ceased US.
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: But current Tips was one of the reasons I went
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: in this. Mis Dale and Jack Dale was great. I
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: mean Jack Dale, Jack Frank Fallen. Oh, it's jack Dale's
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: fault that I'm I'm sitting in the seat today, it
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: really is.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: I I think I said that Frank Fallen had the
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: voice of God. I'm sure, he was amazing. It was amazing.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: I mean, I just will never forget him at that.
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: Oh, there just start many great people in this business
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: because they all have monstrous egos.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: But but Frank didn't.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: But I just remember when they used to do like
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: Frank always the better games. But then when they went
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: to tech, then Jack Dale would do it.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: If they would do the color that's correct.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: And so Dave South was on the A and M B. Yes,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: So just it was so good because you got the
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: perspective the guy yes, who beat but then you also
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: got the perspective from the other guys. It was balanced out.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: It was so good. It was so unbiased in a
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: lot of ways. Yes, and now it's you know, the
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: all the schools owned the radio day owners, so you
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: get the bias tapes unfortunately got on the radio networks
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: and they owned the publication.
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: Se that just spends the information right and and it's
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: it's a problem and and and cease fights that battle
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: every day I know because sees, I know, you have
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: to work twice as hard as as other people who
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: are like on the payroll and get and get paid
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: to put out information. And then you get criticized when
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: you have to run a story that maybe is in
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: the police blodder and they go, hey, we didn't we
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: didn't hear about that. You're going, well, yeah, because you're
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: not going to hear about that.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: It's just the way life is.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: Everybody, I know, I know, you have to adapt.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: Funny, we talked off the air. I mean, there's always
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: going to be problems, whether athletes are gambling, whether there's arrested,
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: there's always going to be something out there.
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: Right now. Quote, you're taking care of the money because
• 30:35

• 31:07
  Speaker 8: and a sharp kid, going, you know, let's set that aside,
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: because this NFL thing ain't gonna work all my life.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: Right, It's not gonna work all your life. And a
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: guy like that, he's smart, right, Fine, Hunter Goodwin, you
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: used to tell me over and over again how one
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: of his roles with Dolphins is like trying to advise
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: young people. I'm not going to last for long.
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: I had a friend that was an accountant for for
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: entertainers and for athletes and football players. And he had
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: one particular football player over in Austin who was making
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: a lot of money, and his girlfriend was living with
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: him and was stealing a.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Lot of money.
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: And this guy was spending, like most professional athletes, more
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: money than he was making. He said, I could not
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: get him to understand. He said, I finally brought him
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: poker chips.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: He said, I brought him poker chips. He said, I.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: I said, this is what your salary is. Okay, right here,
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: he piled up the poker chips. He started taking chips away.
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: He said, this is what you're spending on your house,
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: this is what you're spending on your cars. This is
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: what your girlfriend's bank account is taking from you.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Okay, And there were no poker chips.
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: Left, and he he finally understood what he was saying, Now,
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: unfortunately he didn't do anything about it, right, But that's
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: what it took for him visually, And I thought it
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: was brilliant on my friend's part, right to put it
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: that way. This is what you have left, which is zero.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've told you before that I remember driving down
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: to Galliston for my first job where Homer Jacobs had
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: hired me, and I literally remember thinking what am I
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: going to do with all that money? And I was
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: making seventeen to five a year.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, I got you beat. Yeah, but I know exactly
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: what you mean.
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like because I'd never paid my own expense,
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: is right.
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: Yeah, So I mean even in college it was like, yeah,
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: you shared a uh, you know, to rent you know guys,
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: and so it was a whole different ball game and
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: I didn't even know who fik it.
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: Was while taking this money out of my paycheck, I
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: want to talk to this guy.
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: My wife, the accountant, is at a place where there's
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: a lot of students, and she tells the story of
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: this student coming into the office after her or his
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: I don't remember first paycheck, and they go, there's this
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: money has been taken out of my check. She goes yeah,
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: they go, well, I don't want that. I don't like
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: that they're taking money out.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Welcome to.
• 33:53
  Speaker 8: All right, let's sucks to baseball, can't we Let's tuck
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: a little lagging baseball.
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: Watch most doubleheader. Wow, it's like I was thinking of,
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: is this team gonna hit twenty homers today? I mean,
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: you know, it was like it was like home run Derby.
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: Then I go, when it was thirteen to five or whatever,
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: I go, I need to go somewhere and get something
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: because the guesst game will come back.
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: They're gonna run roll this game. Yeah. Then they come back,
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: and then I go, they can't score.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Well, they scored.
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: They scored eight runs in their two losses. We talked
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: about this in the first hour. Eight total runs in
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: the two losses. I'm gonna give some you know, I'm
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: gonna give some credit to that olmost pitching staff.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: Right, they had three great guys, I mean they did.
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: And the number later hooks coming in two games and
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: saving right and eleven k's right.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: Uh the next day.
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, uh, so you've got to give credit
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: because we know the can hit.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: That's not an issue now. The issue right now is
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: some injuries and that's a problem, without a doubt.
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: You want to be getting healthy this time of year
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: and peaking at this time of year. Uh and you know,
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: unfortunately they've been hit with some injuries.
• 34:59
  Speaker 9: Well right now is no more what midweight games. You
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: down to the nitty gritty. You want to be playing
• 35:04
  Speaker 9: at your best. And I agree, it's a long season.
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: It gets grinding you look at all the games they played.
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: That being said is when you watch that last game.
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: The most amazing thing to me about a lot of it.
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: A and them did not walk one time in that
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: last game. And A and M is very good at
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: their batteries, are very good at swinging at strikes. First
• 35:23
  Speaker 9: one thing they do well is they throw. They swing
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: it strikes and you always felt like I'm watching after three,
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: five to five, A and M will get a big
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: hit'll they'll probably win this game somehow, But it never
• 35:35
  Speaker 9: came about after that one inning. And for them to
• 35:38
  Speaker 9: split that game, they had to feel almost double header.
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: I almost say, I feel like they lost to double header.
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: When you win by thirteen and then you can't buy
• 35:45
  Speaker 9: a hit in the last five innings of the second
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: the second game, that's tough.
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: That's tough.
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: They had seventeen strikeouts, guys, and no walks.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: The thing you worry about when somebody gets hit in
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: the face, O, man, the and you'll remember this name
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: chip Willie Calhoun. Yep, and he was the prospects thought.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: You were going to say Dicky Thoon, but well.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but but yeah, Willie Calhoun, the great prospect for
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: Rangers got for you, Darvish. Yes, and he was never
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: the same after he got hit in the face.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: If we need to go back, he was great and
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: then just awful. I'll be just awful.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Such a mental thing.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I can't imagine.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: You can't stay in the box.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, I mean it's so I can't imagine.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: I can't either. And so that's the thing you were
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: about first though.
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: They've had two Now what departida, Yes, and he came
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: right back and and hit hit.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Yes he did.
• 36:42
  Speaker 9: I watched the game, yesterda, I guess it was Tennessee whatever.
• 36:45
  Speaker 9: And the guy got hit and luckily in the helmet
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: ninety three miles per hour. You watch the way the
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: game's played now, everybody's swinging so hard to try to get.
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: On top, had to get on top of the plane. Yeah,
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: so you're on top of the plate from sixty feet
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: six inches. They're throwing ninety eight miles this hour.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's dangerous.
• 37:03
  Speaker 9: Hug a helmet you're in. You got to have your
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: eyes open to see the ball. You got to swing,
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: and it's it's a bad combination.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: You know, I'll never forget.
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: Tim Kertchin wrote up wrote a book about six or
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: seven years ago on baseball, and he's just a terrific
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: baseball guy, and he had a whole chapter on this.
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: He said, one of the things that nobody ever talks about,
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: especially in the major leagues, is that when you get
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: hit with a baseball, it hurts, right, I mean, and.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: Don't we don't tell you know.
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: I did t ball and little league for a while
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: when my daughters were young, and and I quit warming
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: up with with hardballs. These kids are little, they can
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: barely catch a ball. I had to, you know, use
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: tennis balls right right, because you don't want them throwing
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: because you don't know where they're throwing it. You don't
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: know if they can catch it. You can't be throwing
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: hardballs around to little kids like that, right because they'll
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: never touch a ball again.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: That if they get hit like that.
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: It's bad enough if they get hit the guy with
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: the tennis ball that they missed.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: But but you know, it hurts, I mean at major leagues.
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: And he talked about the fact that, man, you don't ever,
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: if possible, you don't ever want to show that picture
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: that even if he hit you in the arm or
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: the small of the back, or even in the rear end,
• 38:23
  Speaker 8: because the next day you're going to have an impression
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: of that baseball somewhere on your body where you were hitting.
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no doubt you have the laces, Yes, the
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: lace exactly, exactly.
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: That's just scary. When I saw that, you know, when
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: he got hit like that, it's just like, oh, man.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: Well, and the scary thing is too, We've seen pictures
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: get the comebackers too.
• 38:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: No, and they don't have helmet.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: No, yeah, yeah, yes, And so I.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Wonder at some point, you know, I mean, it's like
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: the guys who choose intentionally not to wear the protective helmets.
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: Now in the NFL, was there not a base coach
• 39:01
  Speaker 8: that got killed by a line drive, got hit in
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: the in the head.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there was? Uh uh cool ba cool Ba was
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: a coach? What his brother.
• 39:12
  Speaker 8: Somebody played at the University of Texas. This guy was
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: coaching third base got hit.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: By live drive. But from then on you had to
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: wear protective the NFL.
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: You in college, you have these helmets. Now you can
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: seriously reduce the concussions. But a lot of guys don't
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: think they're cool, They too heavy, whatever. But then you
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: look at softball and all these girls are wearing protective
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: face market you.
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Have to because the way they're swinging too, they're coming off.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: The same thing, right, you know, a lot closer to.
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: The food, closer to the plate, and they're hitting somebody,
• 39:43
  Speaker 9: mashing somebody in the runs and go back.
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: Joe Evans started wearing a helmet when she was here.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: She got she did, yeah she did.
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: And I look out there and I go, my gosh,
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: the picture. You need to have all that stuff.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, we're gonna take a break.
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: We're gonna come back, get back to the actual on
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: the field.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: No, no, it's fine, I'm fine with that.
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: But we're going to talk about on the field what
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: this team has to do.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: Do they have the top eight nailed down? What do
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: they have to do?
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: All right, well, you've already said out, but hey, We're
• 40:10

  Speaker 8: So I don't think there's another radio station anywhere in
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: the world, and especially any kind of talk format that
• 43:14
  Speaker 8: is playing Jerry, Jeff Walker and the Temptations in the
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: same show.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure that ship.
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: You are a trendsetter in so many ways.
• 43:22
  Speaker 8: To me, who I have said this for thirty three years.
• 43:26
  Speaker 8: Music most days is the best part of this program.
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: Now tomorrow I have a really good show. Daryl Ray's
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: Array of the Stars is with me and Tom Doyle
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: and his book Ringo and Ringo star tomorrow on the
• 43:39
  Speaker 8: program today in the second hour's Good Show, because we
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: got Robert Cessna and Rusty Berson in the studio, we
• 43:45
  Speaker 8: started in break going, what does A and M have
• 43:48
  Speaker 8: to do to solidify a top eight.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: Well, we can't get swept. They cannot get swept.
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: No way. You're right they can't. That would be disaster.
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: I don't think they will, but you're right, would be disastered.
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: I think that they would feel a lot more comfortable
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: if they win the series. Yeah, I think theoretically, I
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: think you could get a top eight seed if you
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: win one game, yes, But the fact that you lost
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: to those games, yeah, I said last week it would
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: be really nice to go three and three. Yeah, And
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: so now you need to win the series, yeah to
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: get to that.
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: Yet you know, I'm not convinced of that as as
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: well as they played, because it is the SEC and
• 44:29
  Speaker 8: and you're all on the road and I'm looking at
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: and I I talked about this in the first time.
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: But when you start looking at all these teams, I
• 44:36
  Speaker 8: don't know how many teams are gonna take cease when
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: when they start but it's gonna be a bunch.
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: That she's just jacking up to seventy six.
• 44:44
  Speaker 9: It was the same problem. It was the same problem
• 44:46
  Speaker 9: with softball. The SEC, which I don't like it is
• 44:49
  Speaker 9: unbalanced schedule. Yes, so you somebody like Ole miss.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: Who did not play will not play South.
• 44:54
  Speaker 9: Carolina or Missouri, right, so you you gotta judge them
• 44:58
  Speaker 9: so different you're right than somebody else that played those.
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: Sixteen right games.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: Yes, so you.
• 45:03
  Speaker 9: Said there, and you're the committee, and you go, okay,
• 45:05
  Speaker 9: this team, this team is seventeen and thirteen.
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: Well that's pretty good. But this team's fifteen and fifteen
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: and they didn't play any cupcakes.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, it's so tough, fair point.
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: It's so tough. So when I'm with Rusty and I
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: think they need to.
• 45:18
  Speaker 9: Win two this weekend, okay, and then go down and
• 45:21
  Speaker 9: win one, one and one and they'll be in the.
• 45:23
  Speaker 8: Top eight, Well I hope, I hope, and I'm not.
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: I don't know how they do it, cease I don't. Well,
• 45:30
  Speaker 8: you said they need to win too this weekend, Okay,
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: I'll buy that. But if they win to this weekend
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: and they lose the first round of a meaningless tournament,
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: and you tell me that's why they're not in the
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: top eight.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: I will be upset with that.
• 45:45
  Speaker 9: Because I don't know what the other teams are going
• 45:47
  Speaker 9: to do because there's so many clothes. If somebody goes
• 45:49
  Speaker 9: down there that's under the and they win three games
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: at Hoover.
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: There's five teams right now with sixteen wins, yes, which
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: is so amazing. Well, and it is amazing. And it's
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: like you for A and M State because I felt
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: like the way Aden was playing, had they gotten the
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: third game against Texas, they probably would have won that game.
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, so, yes, you know, I mean that's the
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: nature of baseball, right, Yes, I mean the nature of
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: baseball is you score eighteen runs one game and you
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: can't win either or the other games.
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: It's like, gosh, I wish we could, you know, spread
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: that out a little bit, right.
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: I just.
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: Man, I hope we're beyond after you've played and you
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: and you mentioned the metrics, but after you've played fifty
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: five games and you've played, you know, thirty conference games,
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: I hope we know who the best teams are for
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: the most part, right in this league, I think, I think,
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: and you're right, Sees you make a fair point because
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: not everybody plays everybody, but you can you can look
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: at who's played who.
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: You can certainly do.
• 46:55
  Speaker 8: That, and that's why they have the RPI, that's why
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: they have those metrics. Going in and you're looking and
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: you're going, well, we think, you know these these are
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: the top let's say eight teams in the SEC, and
• 47:08
  Speaker 8: then we'll go, well, four of those teams, you know,
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: with this league, for of those eight teams may be
• 47:15
  Speaker 8: in the top eight.
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: If you lost, like Cease is saying, if you lost
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: four of your last six regular season games, true, and
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: then you lost the first first game in the tournament,
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: So then you understand that seven. I understand that. This
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: issue now is that if you lose to three Mississippi State,
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: you're going to finish with the identical record as they have. Yes,
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: so they're fifteen wins, right, Yeah, they're fifteen and twelve.
• 47:38
  Speaker 5: So if you were to lose two three, both teams
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: would finish.
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you'd be, you'd be they both be seventeen
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: and twelve.
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: I'm like you, guys, I was listening to one of
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: the broadcast.
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: I guess I was wrong. Mississ State is seventeen thirteen.
• 47:52
  Speaker 8: No, no, they're the Mississippi State is fifteen and twelve
• 47:55
  Speaker 8: as well. Okay, so there's four teams with sixteen wins Georgia, Texas,
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: A and him in Auburn and Alabama. You said five
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: and Alabama, there are five teams with sixteen.
• 48:06
  Speaker 9: I was listening to those guys the other day and
• 48:08
  Speaker 9: they're in they're living, breathing, and suddenly what's his name,
• 48:12
  Speaker 9: the former Stanford pitchers was saying, well, yeah, yeah, I've
• 48:14
  Speaker 9: got these two ACC teams in the top eight.
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: I've got UCLA and they.
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: Ripped off four real quick, real quick, not only at
• 48:21
  Speaker 9: least four SEC teams and we know George is going
• 48:24
  Speaker 9: to be one. Yes, so suddenly you're down to like
• 48:27
  Speaker 9: you're down to the spots.
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you're right.
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: Isn't it ironic or crazy that we're talking about who's
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: gonna be in the postseason? We're not mentioning an LSU Vanderbilt.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: No, we are not.
• 48:35
  Speaker 7: When I saw I.
• 48:36
  Speaker 9: Saw those numbers about, like Vanderbilt A ninety two are
• 48:41
  Speaker 9: seventy two, was amazing, I go, I never would have
• 48:43
  Speaker 9: thought that would happen. Nom Corbin there, No, it's amazing,
• 48:48
  Speaker 9: and they're probably gonna win thirty games.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: They're twenty nine and twenty four right now.
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: I don't have the schedule.
• 48:53
  Speaker 8: Who they're playing LUs you is too Yeah, LSU's to
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: say twenty nine and twenty four, but they're nine and
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: eighteen in the league. R L s U is out
• 49:02
  Speaker 8: right now right, they're out there on the outside looking in.
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: Uh but wait, you're right poor occasions.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they're not going to be hosting.
• 49:11
  Speaker 7: They'll have to go through their their whiskey bottle somewhere else.
• 49:15
  Speaker 7: I don't know, Maybe get on the high school playoffs.
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: Maybe put this season they'll pay.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: I guarantee they'll be representing Omaha.
• 49:21
  Speaker 8: No matter what, your fans will be there right, exactly right,
• 49:24
  Speaker 8: their fans will be there.
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. LSU fans and Texas fans, they're
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: gonna be there no matter what.
• 49:30
  Speaker 9: You're right, But guys, it's better than to talk last
• 49:33
  Speaker 9: year at this time no doubt.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: So you're looking at no doubt.
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: Are there going to be a seventh seed and eight
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: to nine and ten?
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they're gonna put up against Texas.
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: And I will I will say again, we've had this
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: conversation it's like, hey, they're going to be in the
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: super Regionals, but they're going to be the super regional
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: and thinking, well, let's let's win the regional first and
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: then you know, and I understand the home home field,
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: I get that, right, but but let's let's let's see
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: what it.
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: Is is when you're going into the postseason. We know
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: this about baseball. It is not the best teams, who's
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: playing the best. So you don't want to have lost
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: five or seven going into the post And you're not
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: sure about the health, right, aren't sure about the pitching?
• 50:16
  Speaker 9: Yes, few years ago Montgomery got hurt here. Yes, yes,
• 50:20
  Speaker 9: you just never know about the injuries.
• 50:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you're right about you're right about pitching. I'm I'm
• 50:24
  Speaker 8: looking at at Hunter Bond. That would be a great
• 50:27
  Speaker 8: story because now he's had two good outings in a row, right,
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: and and maybe he's getting healthy.
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: And it was better out of the pin.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: He was better. Uh he's still not great, but he
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: was he was better out of the pin. Uh, So
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: I I you know, correct baby steps.
• 50:46
  Speaker 8: I think Gavin Lyones probably pitched a little much on
• 50:49
  Speaker 8: They asked quite a bit of him this weekend. But
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: but we know, but but you know you're you can
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: rely on him, you.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: Know, then Western muscuts let that.
• 51:00
  Speaker 8: But again, as we've said, that's baseball, right, I mean,
• 51:04
  Speaker 8: that's just that's the nature of the game.
• 51:09
  Speaker 7: They are where they are. They've done a lot.
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: Yes they have, and a heck of a year so far.
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: This should be a great series because we know Missiosi
• 51:16
  Speaker 9: State's no slots, our typical SEC team. They hit the ball,
• 51:20
  Speaker 9: they got a couple of pitchers. Yep, it's going to
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: be a hard fought series because they.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: Gave Texas all they wanted last weekend, and Austin.
• 51:27
  Speaker 7: Am going to win one or two. I don't think
• 51:29
  Speaker 7: either team sweeps. I might be wrong.
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: Well I'll tell you what. If A and M sweeps,
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna feel real good about where Oh.
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: So we've got a few minutes left.
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: You brought something up in passing with the seventy six
• 51:43
  Speaker 8: teams that the NCAA is going to expand the tournament.
• 51:47
  Speaker 7: Hat it. I just I'm old, grumpy.
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: I am too. I'm old and grumpy. Get off my lawn,
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: me too. But I don't know what the negotiation was.
• 51:56
  Speaker 8: I don't know how much extra money they got. Uh,
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: they wouldn't do it without what you know, without paying
• 52:04
  Speaker 8: paying for all of those offices they have in Indianapolis
• 52:08
  Speaker 8: and all of those people that they have hired up
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: in Indianapolis.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: So I you know, eventually that will come out.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: Here's my issue is that even with seventy six teams,
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: this is going to benefit the SEC is going to
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: benefit the ACC, not the little team. So here's my deal.
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: Even next year, if Miami of Ohio is undefeated and
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: they lose their in their conference championship games, yes, they're
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: still going to be debate ye whether they should be.
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: You're absolutely right. That's not going to change and.
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: Change because there's a fifteen to fourteen Rounderbilt team.
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: I mean, Vanderbilt is going to get in Sankey is
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: on record as saying we you know, I don't know
• 52:48
  Speaker 8: what the big deal is. We don't need all of
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: those little teams. You know, these are the teams that
• 52:52
  Speaker 8: play this schedule. I'm going, okay, well, this is what's
• 52:54
  Speaker 8: made the tournament so great as that first weekend with
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: all the other nothing better than the first weekend. Now
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: most of the time it's chalk after that. And I
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: would argue that in this nil day and age. It'll
• 53:07
  Speaker 8: be even more so because those little teams are going
• 53:10
  Speaker 8: to happen even harder time, you know, making it work.
• 53:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the second weekend is usually what everything works out,
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: you know. I mean, there's there's been some exceptions, we sure,
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, And again that's what makes.
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: Chicago a couple of years ago. Yeah, I mean, that
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: was a great story. But yeah, you're right, Chip, it's
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: gonna be less and less because those really good players
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: on those little schools are gonna be gone by the
• 53:38
  Speaker 5: time their junior year. They're gonna get a lot more
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: money from the big schools.
• 53:42
  Speaker 7: Yes, because Aubrey should have been in tournament.
• 53:44
  Speaker 8: And if and as you mentioned, if somebody does slip
• 53:47
  Speaker 8: through than that, and there will be players. There's always players,
• 53:51
  Speaker 8: right or for whatever reason, they end up in a
• 53:54
  Speaker 8: little school. That school gets to the tournament when he's
• 53:57
  Speaker 8: a freshman. Well, he ain't staying at that school, right,
• 54:01
  Speaker 8: he can't. He can't afford to it, unless he's just
• 54:04
  Speaker 8: an exceptional circumstance.
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: Well, I remember the coach from one of these little
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: small schools who clinched the bid early on. He was
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: complaining because there was an Auburn assistant sitting next to him,
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: or sitting next to one of his players, trying to
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: actively recruit that player while they were playing the game. Yes,
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: it's like for the following years, like, come on, have
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: some decency at least.
• 54:27
  Speaker 8: Wait till the first of all, this is basketball we're
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: talking about, so there's never been any decency. Correct, Sorry,
• 54:39
  Speaker 8: yeah that's fair, Yeah, fair, But you know, this is
• 54:43
  Speaker 8: a sport that's been ugly from long before football.
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: Uglier and long before football.
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: Right, a lot of AAU coaches have made a lot
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: of money.
• 54:52
  Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, just read just read Sonny Vaccaro's book.
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: It's awesome. You know, it was so much fun talking
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: to him.
• 55:01
  Speaker 8: And just read that book and you'll you'll know most
• 55:04
  Speaker 8: of what you need to know. All right, guys, we've
• 55:08
  Speaker 8: killed an hour of the station's time.
