  Speaker 1: So I am Andrew Simon fillingate for Craig Way the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: last day the Philly in He is in. That's right,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: six man from San Antonio, the all spot to match
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Craig webs to be joining the program here in about
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: seventeen minutes, three seventeen Synchronize your watches to the kid's.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: He will be joining the program.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Give us a update on Texas men's basketball from the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Big Apple as they take on Saint Joseph's tonight eight
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: thirty tip off right here on sports Radio AM thirteen
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: hundred zone. He will also give us an idea about
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Texas and Kentucky. We've been talking about it all week.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: It's the final regular season home game for the Texas Longhorns,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: as we hope. It's one of those questions, now, do
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you want the rest or, do you want the buye
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: with the rest or? Do you want to just play
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a home playoff game? And we'll get back to that
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: here in a moment. Other news in news, going on,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: other news, enough views. Daniel Jones cut from the New
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: York Giants. It does not come as a surprise to
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: many that he will not be the starting quarterback for
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the Giants going up the rest of the season. It
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: is a surprise that they decided to cut him. He
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: has one of the best jobs available right now. I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: don't think that he gets another opportunity to be about
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: twelve million dollars that they'd have to pay Daniel Jones
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: if you want him on your roster. I don't think
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of teams in the NFL who are
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: jonesing for some Daniel Jones.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. I just think that's a that's
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: a solid one.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I was trying to get our board up Ronaldo to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: give me anything and nothing, no laugh or anything.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: That's fine.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: So I don't think that anybody's gonna be going after
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones in the offseason. I don't imagine that his
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: career goes very far from here. He asked to be cut,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: he asked to be let go released from the Giants
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: after he got moved to fourth string. And I do
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: think that the news yesterday that he was playing did
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: not help the outward view of Daniel Jones. A lot
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of people are clowning him for his goodbye speech. He
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: gave a speech seven games left in the season, but
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: he gave a speech about how you know, hey, I
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: gave all my heart and stuff to the Giants organization.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I really wanted to win some games here. I don't
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: think he goes down as the worst quarterback in the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: history of a New York Giants football. However, he probably
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: goes down as one of the most disappointing contracts in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: NFL history, if you can believe that. So let's get
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: into it, because, like I said, the Texas Longhorns have
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a chance this weekend to put the hay in the barn,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to get the job done. To win this weekend means
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you own your destiny when you take on Texas A
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and M next week. If A and M gets a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: job done against Auburn, you have two teams who potentially
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the winner of that game will get a bye if
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you win the SEC championship. So if your Texas got
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to win two more games. But it was very interesting
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in conversation happened earlier today on the Pat McAfee show.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: They are on location for Indiana Ohio State. Pat McAfee
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: has legendary head coach Nick saban On and they were
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: debating a topic that we've been debating here for a while,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and that is would you rather have the buy or
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the home field advantage.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Would you rather have a buy or would you rather
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: have home field advantage? I mean, now, you would rather
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: have home field advantage?
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I think right, I would.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'd definitely rather have home field advantage and play
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: a game at home than having to buy, because you
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: have time at that point in the season to recover anyway.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: So is it an advantage to have more weeks off
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and try to get into the game, or play more
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: in a rhythm and go ahead and play and have
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: a home field game?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: So I love Nick Saban's idea here where he's saying, like, hey,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you know, I'd rather play another game than have the rest.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I have to imagine that this is coming from a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: spot of.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Nick Saban. He's a judge genius. He's the best college
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: football coach. Maybe.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Ever, what do you mean you'd rather play the extra
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: game in any other sport? I'd understand, basketball, baseball, I'd understand. Okay, Hey,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I want to keep the guys in the rhythm. I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: want to keep playing this extra game. But every single
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: snap there's a collision. It does not matter if it
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: is a small collision in the offensive defensive line, hitting
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: heads against each other padding up, or if it's a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: big collision, so wide receiver going across the middle of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the field getting lit up by a safety. Every single
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: snap in the NFL, there is a collision. Every single
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: snap in college football, there's a collision. Why are you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: wanting more of those? Julian Edelman said it best. Former
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: NFL A Pro Bowl receiver Super Bowl MVP said it best.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Every single Sunday I came off the field that was
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: in multiple car crashes. That's how my body else. Why
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: would you want a whole game of that? And it's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: very easy I think for Nick Saban, who's a head
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: football coach, and for Pat McAfee, who is a punter,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to say, oh, yeah, I know, we'd love to play
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: another game.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: We'd love to have No.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I think the only people who want that home playoff
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: game are, of course teams like Boise State. You'd want
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to have a home playoff game. I think teams that
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: have awful weather, the Big Ten schools like Penn State,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, Indiana.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Who you have an idea?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Did you see the game Thursday night in Cleveland, Ohio
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: for the Browns game. It's kind of nasty already in
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the Midwest. I think those teams, Yeah, a home playoff game,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: That's not the end of the world for us, but
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the rest of us, Like, if I'm an SEC school,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I want a home playoff game. All I'm asking for
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: at that point is just to get one of my
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: guys hurt. And you go through the list of teams
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: who potentially could have a home playoff game. So currently
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the teams with a bye would be Oregon, Texas, Miami,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and Boise State teams that would be hosting playoff games potentially. Again,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: this is how the it is right now in the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: bracket Ohio State, Penn State out or Notre Dame and Indiana.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: That's not to say that things could change. That's not
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to say that Georgia or Ohio or Old Miss or
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Alabama could end up hosting one of these playoff games.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: But why would I want to play that extra game
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: if I was any of these teams, And especially when
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: you again, I look at a team like Old Miss
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: with Jackson Dart who has had to be helped off
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the field in that Georgia game. He was able to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: come back and play well after that injury, But why
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: do I want to risk my quarterback, my five star guy,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the guy who if the game goes one where it's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: on his shoulders, Why would I ever want to put
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: him in a position where he could get hurt worse?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: To me, it doesn't make any sense. Now.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I understand Nick Saban saying, Hey, that's time of the season.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: There's gonna be a week, two weeks maybe in between
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: some of these games. You're gonna have a couple of
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: weeks after the end of the championship games, before these
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: first games are even played, to get healthy. I totally
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: understand that, But are we seriously asking for more? Are
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: we asking for more football on these kids' bodies? I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: had that problem when we expanded the playoffs, that we
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: were gonna add another game to the schedule.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I just think about.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: It and the long term, in the long run, I
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: had a really smart football guy tell me one time,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: for running backs in particular, that there is a shelf
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: life for how many hits of running back can take.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: That you don't really know what the the old.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: How many hits you can take.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: You don't know that number per se, but you know
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that there is a finite amount of hits that a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: running back can take.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I feel that way about every position. What are we doing?
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like a very smart take from one
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Nick Saban. And the other thing is when you go
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: through the sear they go through the college football slate
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: this weekend, there's one game in particular that matters more
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: than the rest of them. Yes, teams like Texas and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Texas A and M have to do a good job
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: against games like Kentucky and do job do well against
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: teams like Aliburn. But I look at the number one
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: game this week, and it's that stupid noon kickoff on
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Fox that they're ruining college football with. It's number five Indiana,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: number two Ohio State. It's a ten to zero Indiana team,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a nine to one Ohio State team. The winner of
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: that game. It's almost like a loser leaves town game
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: between these two teams. And it stinks that it's kind
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of this late in the season for both those guys,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: because you're not gonna be able to recover if you
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: lose this game. But if Ohio State loses this game,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: they might fall to eleven or twelve in the college
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: football playoffs. But at the same time, as a fan,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I love every minute of it all right, So when
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: we come back. Craigway joins us from Brooklyn. Brooklyn, we
