Speaker 1: media Friday. We've got a high school report Chase Besantes.
1:13
Speaker 1: We're going to hear from him Mallory in the second hour,
1:19
Speaker 1: and I'm going to replay an interview we did this summer,
1:23
Speaker 1: my couple of guys Martin Porter David Goggin called buzz
1:29
Speaker 1: me in the Untold Story of Record Plant Studios. It's
1:33
Speaker 1: wild crazy stuff. So Fhon the neighbor, wake the kids.
1:38
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, and I'm about to talk about Mike Gundy.
1:44
Speaker 1: You should have heard by now, but if you don't,
1:47
Speaker 1: he's out in his twenty first year at Oklahoma State,
1:52
Speaker 1: fifty eight, the second longest tenured FBS coach. They have
1:58
Speaker 1: midgod the last two years they're three and nine. Last
2:01
Speaker 1: year one and two and coming off a loss to Tulsa.
2:07
Speaker 1: In twenty one years, he's had two losing seasons, eight
2:14
Speaker 1: double digit wins, eighteen Bowl appearances, five New York six games.
2:23
Speaker 1: Thirty five of his fifty eight years has been at
2:26
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State as a player, assistant or a head coach.
2:31
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State had had four winning seasons in the sixteen
2:37
Speaker 1: years before Gundy got there. He lost his first year,
2:42
Speaker 1: and then it had had eighteen straight winning seasons, which
2:48
Speaker 1: is the ninth longest in NC Double A history. And yes,
2:53
Speaker 1: we're going to play the rant, but not until five o'clock. Okay,
2:59
Speaker 1: So tell your friends five o'clock. There he is He's
3:04
Speaker 1: never getting over that his son did an impression that
3:09
Speaker 1: went viral several years ago.
3:12
Speaker 4: Uh.
3:14
Speaker 1: Not good news for the Sooners down the road in Norman,
3:19
Speaker 1: John Matteir has suffered a thumb injury and could miss
3:24
Speaker 1: three to four weeks. We'll have surgery tomorrow. Stories indicate
3:31
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and its medical staff been working to find the
3:33
Speaker 1: best course of treatment to ensure a healthy return. The
3:38
Speaker 1: university confirming the injury after it was announced he will
3:42
Speaker 1: have surgery on his throwing hand. On his thumb, he
3:47
Speaker 1: injured it in the first quarter of the Auburn game
3:51
Speaker 1: and still went twenty four thirty six for two hundred
3:54
Speaker 1: and seventy one yards in a touchdown and scored the
3:56
Speaker 1: winning touchdown. Running the football is a huge loss for
4:02
Speaker 1: Brent Venables and the Sooners. TCU wide receiver Eric McCallister,
4:08
Speaker 1: who I talked about yesterday with the writers, is this
4:11
Speaker 1: week's Earl Campbell Tyler Rose National Player of the Week.
4:17
Speaker 1: McAllister had two hundred and fifty four receiving yards and
4:22
Speaker 1: three touchdowns.
4:23
Speaker 5: That is the second most in school history.
4:26
Speaker 1: He would have had over three hundred yards and four
4:31
Speaker 1: touchdowns if the officials hadn't blown an obvious touchdown pass
4:37
Speaker 1: catch in the second half. Bet MGM has released its
4:42
Speaker 1: odds to win a national championship. You ready, Ohio State
4:50
Speaker 1: plus five point fifty, Penn State plus six hundred, Georgia, Texas,
4:59
Speaker 1: Oregon plus seven hundred, LSU plus one thousand, Alabama plus
5:07
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred The U apparently they don't like the coach either,
5:14
Speaker 1: plus fifteen hundred. Oklahoma was plus fifteen hundred, but that's
5:20
Speaker 1: going down after the Materier injury and A and M
5:24
Speaker 1: stays where they were a couple of weeks ago when
5:27
Speaker 1: we talked about this at plus eighteen hundred. Detroit, once
5:33
Speaker 1: holder of the most comfortable division lead in baseball, could
5:40
Speaker 1: have the biggest collapse in the history of Major League Baseball.
5:45
Speaker 1: On July eighth, Detroit led Cleveland by fifteen and a
5:51
Speaker 1: half games. They lead by one game starting tonight. The
6:00
Speaker 1: race would be the biggest free fall in modern baseball history.
6:05
Speaker 1: Teams have come back from fifteen games before three times,
6:10
Speaker 1: but never.
6:10
Speaker 5: From fifteen and a half.
6:13
Speaker 1: The good news for the Tigers, Terrek Scubel is on
6:17
Speaker 1: the mound tonight. The bad news, Oh my gosh, if
6:21
Speaker 1: Terrek scooball loses this game. Not good, Yeah, Williams. They've
6:32
Speaker 1: been pitching like crazy. That's why Cleveland's gotten back in it.
6:35
Speaker 1: The Astros are on the left coast. They're in Sacramento,
6:38
Speaker 1: play in Oakland late tonight. I'm assuming we're going to
6:41
Speaker 1: carry that game. Yes, the Rangers are hosting the Twins.
6:50
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter, but I mentioned that the
6:53
Speaker 1: Astros are playing, so I'm mentioning that the Rangers are
6:55
Speaker 1: playing Ryder Cup. So Ryder Cup is supposed to start
7:04
Speaker 1: Friday morning. There's rocky weather forecast for Thursday, so the
7:10
Speaker 1: opening ceremony, instead of being Thursday, have been moved to
7:16
Speaker 1: tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock. Traditionally, the Ryder Cup captains
7:24
Speaker 1: announced their pairings for the first session at the opening ceremony,
7:28
Speaker 1: but since it's a day and a half before the
7:30
Speaker 1: matches begin, they're going to announce their pairings at three
7:35
Speaker 1: o'clock Thursday at a location TVD. My guess is the
7:41
Speaker 1: weather will be perfect and everything will be great, but
7:43
Speaker 1: they're moving it because, you know, weather people said it
7:48
Speaker 1: might rain. The rest of the week remains unchanged. Foursome's
7:55
Speaker 1: begin Friday morning at six ten am. Texas time for
8:00
Speaker 1: ball event to follow same schedule Saturday, singles matches Sunday,
8:06
Speaker 1: and of course it's televised USA Network Friday all day.
8:14
Speaker 1: NBC takes over Saturday all day and Sunday from eleven
8:20
Speaker 1: to five. The first singles match will start at eleven
8:24
Speaker 1: two am. That would be ten oh two am Texas
8:29
Speaker 1: time in CAP.
8:30
Speaker 5: You're keeping score about that. So a couple of.
8:35
Speaker 1: Things Next Tuesday. John Bacon, author of one of the
8:42
Speaker 1: best books I have read in a long time, called
8:47

Speaker 1: to estimate. Some of these stomachs are dragging under the
10:00
Speaker 1: water while they're you know, walking in the river. I mean,
10:03
Speaker 1: these are big, fat grizzly bears. Grazer estimated over twelve
10:13
Speaker 1: hundred pounds. That's a lot of salmon, my friends.

Speaker 7: NASCAR Truck Series race recap from New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
12:04
Speaker 5: I'm Kerry Murphy.
12:05
Speaker 7: Corey Heim started on the poll, led one hundred and
12:07
Speaker 7: twenty four of the one hundred and seventy five laps,
12:10
Speaker 7: swept both of the stages to win his ninth race
12:13
Speaker 7: of the season. I'd say that's total domination.
12:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I haven't really thought about it a
12:18
Speaker 4: whole lot. Yet I think it's more of a looking
12:22
Speaker 4: back in hindsight thing. You know, you look back and
12:24
Speaker 4: you know you're like, dang, like this was an incredible
12:27
Speaker 4: opportunity with an incredible team, and you know it's just
12:29
Speaker 4: something you look back on and say, like, you know,
12:31
Speaker 4: that was just everything it was was right, you know.
12:34
Speaker 4: I mean I feel like I've I've had enough experience
12:36
Speaker 4: at this point in my career to go out and
12:37
Speaker 4: you know, constantly contend for race wins in the Truck
12:40
Speaker 4: Series and my team, you know as well just giving
12:42
Speaker 4: me the equipment you know, necessary to do that. So yeah,
12:46
Speaker 4: I mean it's a special feeling now. I know it
12:48
Speaker 4: will be a special feeling when the year's over. Regreldless
12:50
Speaker 4: a result, but the goal, you know, so it remains
12:52
Speaker 4: the same, just trying to win the championship.
12:53
Speaker 8: Yeah.
12:54
Speaker 4: I mean, for the most part, I think our goal
12:55
Speaker 4: after we won Darlington the first race of the playoffs
12:58
Speaker 4: was to continue to get more playoff points. So to
13:00
Speaker 4: come here and kind of sweep the sweep the deal
13:02
Speaker 4: and get seven could potentially mean a lot. I hope
13:05
Speaker 4: it doesn't and we're easily in. But every single playofform
13:08
Speaker 4: and I mean it comes down to a very very
13:10
Speaker 4: few amount of points. You know, as most snow.
13:12
Speaker 7: All right, let's see here. Chandler Smith was second, followed
13:14

15:18
Speaker 1: Out of your season faster than the Gypsy Kings can?
15:22
Speaker 13: Seriously?
15:26
Speaker 1: Welcome back, thanks for being with us. So I meant
15:31
Speaker 1: to say this in our headlines and the story got
15:34
Speaker 1: caught up in the innverse somewhere. But Major League Baseball
15:38
Speaker 1: is going to use automated ball strike Challenge system next year.
15:42
Speaker 5: All season.
15:43
Speaker 1: Each team will get two challenges and can keep them
15:47
Speaker 1: if they're successful. They can only be initiated by the pitcher,
15:52
Speaker 1: catcher or batter and it has to be right after
15:56
Speaker 1: the pitch the signal of challenge, the pitcher, catcher, or
16:00
Speaker 1: batter will tap his hat to let the umpire know
16:03
Speaker 1: no help for the dugout or other players is going
16:06
Speaker 1: to be allowed. In each extra inning, a team will
16:10
Speaker 1: be awarded a challenge if it doesn't have any left.
16:17
Speaker 1: I wish they'd do this in college baseball. I think
16:19
Speaker 1: it would change things greatly. I mean greatly, you know,
16:25
Speaker 1: without Angel Hernandez anymore. I mean, these guys are successful.
16:31
Speaker 1: They say about ninety two percent of the time, which
16:33
Speaker 1: is pretty amazing when you think about it. But sometimes
16:36
Speaker 1: those eight percent, those are game changing calls, you know
16:40
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
16:41
Speaker 5: Game changing?
16:43
Speaker 1: Okay, speaking of baseball, little fall baseball at A and
16:48
Speaker 1: M Michael Early visited with the media on Friday.
16:51
Speaker 14: Do you guys begin Paul practices this week? What is
16:55
Speaker 14: the move like in the clubhouse and how is it
16:57
Speaker 14: different from this offseason or least?
17:01
Speaker 13: Hey, it's no, it's it's relatively the same.
17:03
Speaker 15: I think from a standpoint, everyone's excited, everyone's excited to
17:06
Speaker 15: get going, and the key is to keep that enthusiasm
17:10
Speaker 15: throughout the year, because how you feel the first day
17:12
Speaker 15: can be different than you feel the fourth day. Fifth
17:14
Speaker 15: day and one hundred and fifth days. So it's about
17:16
Speaker 15: just maintaining that level of focus and just true joy
17:20
Speaker 15: and want to be out here because the first day
17:22
Speaker 15: you feel great as far as health.
17:23
Speaker 13: And all of that.
17:24
Speaker 15: And it's about doing the same thing over and over
17:27
Speaker 15: again and no matter what the day is.
17:30
Speaker 14: How do you think your personal approach has changed from
17:33
Speaker 14: your one to year two?
17:34
Speaker 13: Well, you learn and growing everything you do.
17:35
Speaker 15: So I feel more comfortable sitting here than I did,
17:39
Speaker 15: not necessarily talking to you guys, but just you know,
17:41
Speaker 15: you do something new, you do something new right, You
17:43
Speaker 15: got to kind of learn on the job. But I'm
17:45
Speaker 15: very confident and what we're gonna do is coaching staff
17:47
Speaker 15: and his team and a lot of that's because of
17:49
Speaker 15: my assistant coaches and everyone in the organization pulled in
17:52
Speaker 15: the same direction.
17:53
Speaker 16: So do you turn?
17:54
Speaker 14: Do you turn the page right now? Last years got
17:57
Speaker 14: to wait to spring and play games. I mean, you know,
18:00
Speaker 14: how do you pull it up?
18:01
Speaker 13: I personally and all of us like last year's last year.
18:04
Speaker 15: I mean, I have no no comment on last year.
18:07
Speaker 15: It is what it is, and uh, you know, we
18:09
Speaker 15: learned from things.
18:10
Speaker 13: But I'm on.
18:10
Speaker 15: I'm onto this team in this season, and and we're
18:13
Speaker 15: doing the right stuff to get these guys prepared to play.
18:15
Speaker 15: And it's credits our players for you know, to this
18:17
Speaker 15: point doing exactly what we want them to do. So
18:19
Speaker 15: I've you know, last year's done and we're moving forward
18:22
Speaker 15: and we're looking forward. This a whole new team, a
18:24
Speaker 15: whole new team with a lot of new faces, and
18:26
Speaker 15: I'm focused on those guys.
18:28
Speaker 1: Speak about the new team there, But how how easy
18:30
Speaker 1: are how challenging is to mesh you know, guys together
18:33
Speaker 1: in like the transportal era like this, you know kind
18:35
Speaker 1: of everybody's working together.
18:36
Speaker 15: I've never found it to be tough because you bring
18:38
Speaker 15: in the right guys and there's pooral guys that we've
18:41
Speaker 15: started to recruit, or even high school kids that you know,
18:44
Speaker 15: when you recruit a kid, it's a two way recruitment
18:46
Speaker 15: for me, and it always has been. So we're bringing
18:48
Speaker 15: in the right guys and it's been easy transition, and
18:51
Speaker 15: once they're here for a day or two, you feel
18:52
Speaker 15: like they've been here for three or four years.
18:54
Speaker 14: So what are your objections going on the plane?
18:56
Speaker 12: What?
18:56
Speaker 14: What? What?
18:57
Speaker 8: What?
18:57
Speaker 14: What does the team to get out with.
19:00
Speaker 17: The script?
19:01
Speaker 8: Pa? Script?
19:02
Speaker 15: I mean not just from a rep standpoint. I mean,
19:04
Speaker 15: you got to be good at baseball. You got to
19:05
Speaker 15: play baseball. It's not a sport you can just drill, right,
19:09
Speaker 15: so you get those game reps.
19:10
Speaker 13: But we're just focused on doing everything right. We want
19:13
Speaker 13: to do.
19:13
Speaker 15: We want to be uncommon, we want to do the
19:15
Speaker 15: you know, uncommon things uncommonly. Well, like that is our focus.
19:19
Speaker 15: Everything we do is based on that. And it's not
19:21
Speaker 15: just playing. It's how you it's how you keep your locker,
19:24
Speaker 15: it's how you show up to class, it's how you walk.
19:26
Speaker 13: Into the building to how you get a bunt down.
19:29
Speaker 15: And that's our focus, and that's what you get out
19:31
Speaker 15: of the fall because you want to be able to
19:32
Speaker 15: do all those things when the games don't count, so
19:34
Speaker 15: to speak. So when you get there, you've done it
19:36
Speaker 15: before and the repetition's there and it just comes second
19:39
Speaker 15: nature to and you do what you do.
19:42
Speaker 14: When it comes to the pitching staff, you guys lost,
19:44
Speaker 14: guys like Brigger and Lampkin. So where does the staff
19:47
Speaker 14: sit on day one? And what are you hoping to
19:49
Speaker 14: see from the guys who revive for spots and the rotation?
19:52
Speaker 15: And it's gonna be a battle, right, and we got
19:54
Speaker 15: a We got a lot of good players that returned.
19:56
Speaker 15: Not only older guys that return, like we get Shane back,
19:59
Speaker 15: we get west And back, we get fresh cornback, and
20:02
Speaker 15: we also get those guys that were freshman last year
20:04
Speaker 15: that I thought threw really well for freshman, Gavin Lyons,
20:07
Speaker 15: Aiden Simms, Caden McCoy.
20:09
Speaker 13: And then you know, he did.
20:10
Speaker 15: A really good job in the transfer portal getting guys
20:12
Speaker 15: that can really pitch.
20:13
Speaker 13: So it's gonna be a battle, it's gonna be a grime.
20:15
Speaker 15: There's no guaranteed spot, there's no I don't have a
20:18
Speaker 15: Friday Guy, Saturday Guy, Tuesday closer set up guys.
20:21
Speaker 13: So it's about competition.
20:22
Speaker 15: What I want to see his strikes and being competitive
20:24
Speaker 15: and you know, just competing on a day to day basis.
20:27
Speaker 14: You mentioned Shane Sadeo as he comes back from injury.
20:30
Speaker 14: Where is he at as far as his rehout process
20:32
Speaker 14: and what would plan be for him this fall?
20:34
Speaker 15: So I think two days ago he was like a
20:37
Speaker 15: year anniversary and yesterday through a fifteen pitch bullpen was awesome,
20:41
Speaker 15: and you know he's on his progression. So I want
20:44
Speaker 15: to think you would see him live against one of
20:47
Speaker 15: the outside opponents, but possibly towards the end of hour
20:50
Speaker 15: fall and then he'll continue to throw some live into November,
20:54
Speaker 15: probably just to hour hitters. But we want to make
20:56
Speaker 15: sure it's a balance if he needs to pitch because
20:58
Speaker 15: it's been a really long time, but also we need
21:00
Speaker 15: him to be healthy, so we're gonna we're gonna balance
21:02
Speaker 15: that and make sure we're doing all the right stuff
21:04
Speaker 15: for what's best for Shane in his arm and then
21:07
Speaker 15: what's best for Shane and getting him ready to play
21:09
Speaker 15: in a baseball game.
21:10
Speaker 1: When you replace it, obviously you talk about the talent
21:12
Speaker 1: and replacing it leadership wise, you lost a lot of
21:15
Speaker 1: core culture guys there.
21:16
Speaker 18: How does that work as you come into this topic
21:19
Speaker 18: year trying to find.
21:19
Speaker 13: Those leaders here?
21:21
Speaker 15: I think leadership from players comes two ways. It's like
21:23
Speaker 15: empowerment from the coach a little bit, and then guys
21:25
Speaker 15: taking over and running with it and just leading by
21:28
Speaker 15: what they do. And I think leadership comes in many
21:30
Speaker 15: forms in fashion, some guys are vocal, some guys just
21:33
Speaker 15: get it done. The leadership can come from a freshman,
21:35
Speaker 15: like we got a couple that worked really really hard
21:37
Speaker 15: and pulling guys with you and holding guys accountable, so
21:40
Speaker 15: that happens a little bit organically.
21:42
Speaker 13: There's obviously guys you'd like to be your.
21:44
Speaker 15: Leaders, but a lot of that sorts of self out
21:47
Speaker 15: in the clubhouse.
21:49
Speaker 5: You thoughts of the president's stepping.
21:50
Speaker 15: Down general, I appreciate the opportunity he gave to me
21:56
Speaker 15: and being here.
21:57
Speaker 13: But other than that, man, I'm just here to talk
21:59
Speaker 13: about baseball.
22:01
Speaker 14: Ask you about Shane bler goat returning commentary, Gabu Rokovic.
22:04
Speaker 14: How has he looked? What is his health status?
22:06
Speaker 19: His fall get started?
22:07
Speaker 15: Gavin looks really good, really good, Like if you saw
22:10
Speaker 15: him hit, you want to know anything was wrong. So
22:13
Speaker 15: we're gonna be He's still on a plan. He's been
22:15
Speaker 15: doing some high speed machine stuff. Been fully cleared to
22:19
Speaker 15: hit from an at bat standpoint like today, not that
22:23
Speaker 15: he would get a multiple batschball not playing them any innings,
22:26
Speaker 15: but he'll go one at bat today, Sunday, he'll get
22:29
Speaker 15: two at bats and we'll kind of, you know, go
22:32
Speaker 15: from there and see how it is. I think the
22:34
Speaker 15: only there's gonna be a point where he's gonna be
22:37
Speaker 15: getting full at bats, and that should come soon. One
22:40
Speaker 15: thing we're not gonna risk, I think in the fall.
22:42
Speaker 15: We're definitely on a risk is he won't run bases,
22:44
Speaker 15: and I don't want him diving just I think the shoulder.
22:47
Speaker 15: As long as we can go on that shoulder not
22:49
Speaker 15: having impact, he'll be fine. He'll be able to catch
22:51
Speaker 15: up running the bases when we get back in January
22:53
Speaker 15: and dives and stuff like that. But he's about you know,
22:56
Speaker 15: I don't want to say he's full go, but he's
22:57
Speaker 15: you know, seventy percent go.
22:59
Speaker 13: But at the plate, he's gonna swing it.
23:01
Speaker 1: You know, if you guys playing in the KA COB
23:02
Speaker 1: League and other summer leagues, how valuable is that working?
23:05
Speaker 13: How much like assessment and attention do you pay that
23:07
Speaker 13: through the offseason. I think it's good. I think it
23:10
Speaker 13: can build confidence.
23:11
Speaker 15: Like Bear did really well out there, Kopian did really
23:14
Speaker 15: well out there. I think, like I said earlier, like
23:16
Speaker 15: playing baseball helps you play baseball, and if if your
23:19
Speaker 15: health and your body and the season allows you to
23:21
Speaker 15: play summer ball, I really like it. And some guys
23:24
Speaker 15: we weigh like some of these young pitchers, like how
23:26
Speaker 15: much did they throw? Is it more beneficial for them
23:28
Speaker 15: to put on weight? TK played really well in California.
23:32
Speaker 13: Far played out there.
23:33
Speaker 15: So I think if you're healthy and able to play,
23:35
Speaker 15: and it's not a detriment to your strength. If we
23:37
Speaker 15: think strength is more important to you than playing, I
23:40
Speaker 15: think it's a great thing. But I think, you know,
23:41
Speaker 15: bar did an awesome job, and obviously Chris did an
23:44
Speaker 15: awesome job.
23:44
Speaker 1: So that extra workload, Like, is that you handle them
23:47
Speaker 1: differently from this copy of year, like you know, from
23:49
Speaker 1: the extra work or is it kind of enough time
23:51
Speaker 1: to reset get ready for this type of year?
23:52
Speaker 15: It's time to reset, time to play, like you play
23:54
Speaker 15: here like there's no this isn't the big leagues, this
23:56
Speaker 15: ain't the minor leagues, like it's these guys are young,
23:59
Speaker 15: this is college baseball. Like you step in and you're
24:01
Speaker 15: doing the same stuff just like everyone else did anything
24:04
Speaker 15: else coach.
24:05
Speaker 14: To get enough great hair last year that you got
24:07
Speaker 14: to use hair cover or you.
24:08
Speaker 13: Okay, no, man, I feel I feel better than ever.
24:11
Speaker 15: I feel like I you know, this offseason, I went
24:13
Speaker 15: down in age, so we're we're fully energized and ready
24:16
Speaker 15: to go. So it was I loved everything that's happened
24:20
Speaker 15: to me at this point in my life because I
24:21
Speaker 15: think everything that happens to you happens for a reason.
24:23
Speaker 15: So I feel great, man, I feel like I could
24:26
Speaker 15: actually go out and play today.
24:27
Speaker 14: So transfers a little dead.
24:30
Speaker 20: What did you see from the Harland transfer Chris so far?
24:33
Speaker 8: Yeah?
24:33
Speaker 13: Speaking of Chris, he's been great.
24:34
Speaker 15: He's been awesome, awesome teammate, uh, freaking beast in the
24:38
Speaker 15: weight room, everything you think of he He's had a
24:41
Speaker 15: little setback.
24:42
Speaker 13: He had has a.
24:43
Speaker 15: Small fracture in his right hand, so he will be
24:46
Speaker 15: out for the fall at least hitting. He's taking ground balls.
24:49
Speaker 15: It's not anything that needs surgery, just something he needs
24:53
Speaker 15: four weeks to heal.
24:55
Speaker 13: You got to see him hit for two weeks. It
24:57
Speaker 13: was great.
24:58
Speaker 15: It was just one of those things he played then
25:00
Speaker 15: played summer. They said, just maybe just an over usage deal.
25:04
Speaker 15: Nothing major, nothing to be overly concerned about, especially for
25:08
Speaker 15: me as a hitter, being his top hand as opposed
25:10
Speaker 15: to his bottom hand. Other than that, I want to
25:12
Speaker 15: let you guys know that. But other than that, he
25:14
Speaker 15: is awesome, fitting, great. The guy's love him. He's really
25:17
Speaker 15: easy to respect. He came in and did what you
25:20
Speaker 15: should do as a new guy. I want to say
25:21
Speaker 15: he kept his mouth shut, so to speak. He's a
25:23
Speaker 15: normal guy, and he worked hard and he's a guy
25:25
Speaker 15: that I that I've talked to, like he needs to
25:27
Speaker 15: be a leader on this team. Like what he does
25:29
Speaker 15: is contagious. He works extremely hard. And yeah, I'm just
25:33
Speaker 15: really glad he's here. I mean he was portal comes
25:36
Speaker 15: out our personal opinion and a lot we thought he
25:38
Speaker 15: was the best not only hitter in.
25:40
Speaker 13: The portal, but overall player in the portal.
25:42
Speaker 15: And getting a guy like that in your program not
25:44
Speaker 15: only because he's a good player, but when we met
25:46
Speaker 15: him on the visitor, like, Okay, this guy fits what
25:48
Speaker 15: we do.
25:49
Speaker 13: He fits Texas A.
25:50
Speaker 15: And M, and we think he's gonna make us really
25:51
Speaker 15: really good.
25:53
Speaker 13: This his right hand.
25:54
Speaker 14: And then last week for the GOAJA, I know you're
25:56
Speaker 14: an Indiana guy. Last league beating good, I know you
26:00
Speaker 14: and your son went up there. What was that experience?
26:02
Speaker 13: Like that was all? I mean, that was absolutely incredible.
26:05
Speaker 15: I mean you know this, I mean, that's that's the
26:08
Speaker 15: second time I've ever rooted against Notre Dame. I mean
26:10
Speaker 15: I was up there with all the Aggie's and it
26:11
Speaker 15: was it was amazing. And then what a what a
26:14
Speaker 15: cool game to watch? And so we were up there,
26:17
Speaker 15: they had all it.
26:18
Speaker 13: A and M.
26:18
Speaker 15: We were kind of up in almost a U shape
26:20
Speaker 15: in the upper bowl and I'm I have some family
26:23
Speaker 15: by me that's Notre Dame fan, so you know, the
26:25
Speaker 15: whole game there, and then I've never seen, you know,
26:28
Speaker 15: the air get taken out of the stadium, like hearing
26:31
Speaker 15: it just stop. And then the touchdown was over there,
26:34
Speaker 15: so we're over here, so we are a little bit delayed.
26:37
Speaker 13: So he gets it. You don't really know if he
26:38
Speaker 13: has it.
26:39
Speaker 15: And you look at the video board and you look back,
26:40
Speaker 15: and he got it and it was just an explosion
26:42
Speaker 15: from the upper deck.
26:43
Speaker 13: So that was. That was cool. So about you know,
26:46
Speaker 13: moving forward, I'll be rooting for both teams again. But
26:48
Speaker 13: it was.
26:49
Speaker 15: It was unbelievable. I mean, the fan base traveling there
26:52
Speaker 15: was great. I had an awesome time, and I just
26:54
Speaker 15: I just a huge fan of coach Alca, like just
26:56
Speaker 15: massive fan of him and what he's doing. And I
26:59
Speaker 15: love seeing Mark Jones on kickoff just making sure he
27:02
Speaker 15: stays healthy and all those things.
27:04
Speaker 13: But yeah, it was, it was. It was a super cool.
27:06
Speaker 15: Experience and I'm just really glad that A and M
27:09
Speaker 15: came out on top.
27:10

Speaker 12: Egg thirty minutes after every Eggie football home gate, right here,
31:55
Speaker 12: right on the zone.
32:04
Speaker 18: Last part on that one, since they were going out
32:06
Speaker 18: to the BELAIRUS Fund Center phone line to visit with
32:08
Speaker 18: the head football coach for the Midway Panthers, Joseph Gillespie.
32:12
Speaker 18: How are you doing today?
32:13
Speaker 17: I'm doing well, Matt. How are you?
32:15
Speaker 18: I'm doing very well. Thank you so much for asking
32:17
Speaker 18: looking back at last season, what were some of the
32:19
Speaker 18: biggest takeaways for you and your team?
32:23
Speaker 17: Well, I think you know last season when laid it
32:25
Speaker 17: to the foundation, it was your one force as a
32:28
Speaker 17: staff and with these kids, and you know they've had
32:32
Speaker 17: a lot of change over the last they had fired
32:35
Speaker 17: to getting here over the last four or five years
32:37
Speaker 17: with just different coordinators offensively, defensively, and that gets tough.
32:42
Speaker 17: And it's not just on Friday nights. I mean it's
32:44
Speaker 17: all the way down to the seventh grade. And so,
32:46
Speaker 17: you know, it has some continuity and some consistency within
32:50
Speaker 17: among staff has been a huge plus. You know, all
32:54
Speaker 17: the verbiage and the dynamics of what you're trying to
32:58
Speaker 17: do strategically and stuff. You know, the kids are in
33:01
Speaker 17: year or two of it and kind of seeing some
33:03
Speaker 17: of the foods of the labor right now.
33:05
Speaker 8: Mm hm.
33:06
Speaker 18: And what was one area you felt like your team
33:07
Speaker 18: really grew during last season?
33:11
Speaker 17: Well, I think just trying to grow on the knowledge
33:13
Speaker 17: of the game and then and then what it takes
33:15
Speaker 17: to build a program and and you know, unfortunately, I've
33:18
Speaker 17: got to sprinkle some fairy dust out there and make
33:21
Speaker 17: it happen overnight. And you know, but it's a it's
33:25
Speaker 17: a bit of a process. And and h when you're
33:28
Speaker 17: starting to talk about, you know, building a full program,
33:31
Speaker 17: and you know, in our eyes, a full program obviously
33:35
Speaker 17: goes from seventh grade all the way through twelfth grade.
33:38
Speaker 17: May even starts before that, which you use programs and stuff,
33:41
Speaker 17: and so you know, there was a lot of footwork
33:44
Speaker 17: and still a lot of footwork to do, and but
33:47
Speaker 17: we've at least got it rolling in in a good
33:49
Speaker 17: direction and got pitched an entire village to do this.
33:54
Speaker 17: You got a lot of people on board.
33:56
Speaker 18: And which returning players do you think from last season
33:58
Speaker 18: have stepped up as the leaders this year?
34:00
Speaker 8: Yeah?
34:01
Speaker 17: Oh, I think there's quite a few. I mean you
34:04
Speaker 17: start talking from a defensive standpoint of Bax Mate and
34:07
Speaker 17: Laine Alexander, Uh, you know, guys like that Jadon Krause
34:11
Speaker 17: and you know that had just been playing really well,
34:15
Speaker 17: but they got a lot of experience under develop. And
34:17
Speaker 17: then a guy like Carl Simmons who's just a junior
34:20
Speaker 17: right now, but you know kind of got thrust into
34:22
Speaker 17: a safety role last year as a sophomore and and
34:25
Speaker 17: you know did a good job, but you know, had
34:28
Speaker 17: some games that he played like a sophomore too, and
34:31
Speaker 17: he's really playing him really well and a good leader
34:35
Speaker 17: for us. And then offensively, you know andrewmin there. You
34:39
Speaker 17: always got to start with your quarterback and and just
34:42
Speaker 17: his growth from year one to year two you know,
34:45
Speaker 17: ended up starting about the last year and four games
34:47
Speaker 17: for US last year and due to the injury, and uh,
34:53
Speaker 17: you know, just having that experience has done him an
34:57
Speaker 17: immense amount of good. And then getting to spend all
35:00
Speaker 17: all season in summer and fall camp and all that
35:03
Speaker 17: being the trigger guy. Uh, you know, it just votes
35:06
Speaker 17: confidence with you. And so he's been he's been really
35:09
Speaker 17: really good.
35:10
Speaker 23: You know.
35:11
Speaker 17: Offensive line wise, we've got a bunch of guys up
35:13
Speaker 17: there really kind of bell Cow is a guy named
35:16
Speaker 17: Land and Pope and and so those have been you know, uh,
35:21
Speaker 17: those guys have been very instrumental force.
35:25
Speaker 18: And how would you assess your team's performance to the
35:26
Speaker 18: first part of this season and how have you used
35:29
Speaker 18: challenges from last season to grow?
35:32
Speaker 17: Well, I think an assessment for the first part of
35:35
Speaker 17: the season, we've gone through four non district games. We've
35:37
Speaker 17: got district game one against the you know, defending district
35:41
Speaker 17: camp and and so that's a were we get our
35:45
Speaker 17: metal testing run off the bat, and you know, I
35:48
Speaker 17: think our football IQ and hope we're trying to do offensively, defensively,
35:52
Speaker 17: special teams wise, you know, we have you know, quite
35:57
Speaker 17: a bit better grasp of what we're doing now and
36:01
Speaker 17: still make our mistakes and stuff. You know, we played
36:04
Speaker 17: the first twelve quarters of the season were probably the
36:07
Speaker 17: cleanest first twelve quarters I've been a part of. And
36:13
Speaker 17: it wasn't nothing flashy or dynamic or entertain It's just
36:17
Speaker 17: good clean ball. You know. We were very limited and penalties,
36:21
Speaker 17: especially offensively, for we weren't shooting ourselves in the foot.
36:24
Speaker 17: We were scoring when we got the ball in the
36:26
Speaker 17: red zone. Special teams for the most part of them
36:30
Speaker 17: very very good for us, you know. And then unfortunately
36:35
Speaker 17: the first two quarters we played other not versus man
36:38
Speaker 17: still high. You know, it was it was a little
36:42
Speaker 17: launching and you know, we had five turnover verse three
36:45
Speaker 17: offensively and two of them special teams. And you know,
36:49
Speaker 17: to sit there and go five no in the turnover
36:52
Speaker 17: category or old five in the turnover category and still
36:56
Speaker 17: win the ball game says a lot about the team.
36:59
Speaker 17: And it says a lot of those kids, the coaches,
37:01
Speaker 17: their adjustments, their ability to adjust, and then just not panic.
37:06
Speaker 17: And uh, you know, we were fortunate to fight and
37:08
Speaker 17: call and scratching it ourselves back in the ball game
37:10
Speaker 17: and come away with big women.
37:12
Speaker 18: And what do you think is surprised you most positively
37:15
Speaker 18: or negatively about this year's group.
37:19
Speaker 17: Well, I don't think there's anything negative. You know, surprised
37:23
Speaker 17: most probably some certain individuals and just what they're you know,
37:27
Speaker 17: I knew that they were going to be pretty good.
37:29
Speaker 17: I didn't know they were going to be deck good
37:30
Speaker 17: this soon. You know, you're taking jadon films Vawn and
37:33
Speaker 17: I missed Carl Simmons earlier. Just you know Jaden Fields.
37:37
Speaker 17: Everybody talks about lath and Withington and then we've got
37:40
Speaker 17: another guy that you know, comes in to spelling and
37:43
Speaker 17: he's just this dynamic, just a different type of dynamic.
37:47
Speaker 5: You know.
37:48
Speaker 17: Lathan is a heck of a specimen, heck of a
37:51
Speaker 17: run back and stuff, but he much went and run
37:53
Speaker 17: through you, that around you, whereas bild Vaughn is a
37:56
Speaker 17: little bit more shifty and shaky and and you know
37:59
Speaker 17: a bit of a bugs. So you know, they complement
38:02
Speaker 17: each other because you get two different styles of running
38:04
Speaker 17: backs back there, and it gets hard defensively.
38:07
Speaker 18: Let's pivot here a little bit. What were your key
38:09
Speaker 18: takeaways from the last week's game.
38:13
Speaker 17: Well, I think the key takeaways are we're pretty good
38:16
Speaker 17: football team, but we can't help others. And I'm not
38:19
Speaker 17: going to take anything away from Mansfield High. They're very
38:21
Speaker 17: very well coached, talented football team. And you know, but
38:27
Speaker 17: we were kind of and they were creating some plays
38:30
Speaker 17: and stuff like that, and they did what they were
38:31
Speaker 17: supposed to do and they capitalized on the all five turnovers.
38:35
Speaker 17: And so you know, the biggest thing that we got
38:40
Speaker 17: to do is just understand, hey, if we'll go back
38:43
Speaker 17: in the second half, we did. We played very clean
38:46
Speaker 17: football in all three phases. We're getting out the field defensively.
38:50
Speaker 17: On third down, we had several three and outs there
38:53
Speaker 17: in the third quarter. We scored twenty one points, I
38:55
Speaker 17: believe in the third quarter. And then you know, and
39:01
Speaker 17: then just take care of the ball and you know,
39:04
Speaker 17: score when we have opportunities for points on the board.
39:06
Speaker 17: We liked a six point variety more than the three
39:09
Speaker 17: and they took advantage of that. And you know, the
39:13
Speaker 17: guys that they're just playing, you know, Goods Town playing football.
39:18
Speaker 18: M And what are the biggest challenges heading into this
39:21
Speaker 18: week's matchup?
39:23
Speaker 17: My other I mean, they do a wonderful job over there,
39:28
Speaker 17: and you know, Mark gumbold Is is a tremendous coach
39:33
Speaker 17: and Uh, he's got a tremendous program going. Like I
39:36
Speaker 17: said earlier, they are they defended district chance, they home
39:39
Speaker 17: the go ball right now, and uh, you know it's
39:42
Speaker 17: gonna be one of the most physical or challenging games
39:45
Speaker 17: that we've had, you know, so far this season. And
39:48
Speaker 17: so you know, fortunate thing is have time to our
39:51
Speaker 17: place and and so I'll take every advantage I can get.
39:55
Speaker 18: M And last question here for you coach, just being
39:59
Speaker 18: your can season.
40:03
Speaker 17: I'm not gonna be able to run from it.
40:05
Speaker 24: Math, So go ahead.
40:08
Speaker 18: Last question here. This is your second season as coach,
40:12
Speaker 18: and I'm just wondering what three to five years down
40:16
Speaker 18: the road, what would you define a success for this
40:19
Speaker 18: program culturally both on and off the field, for your staff,
40:23
Speaker 18: for your team, for the school.
40:26
Speaker 17: Oh, I just think, you know, and I kind of
40:28
Speaker 17: mentioned it earlier. I want some consistency. I want these
40:32
Speaker 17: kids to have some consistency and some constabuity. But we
40:35
Speaker 17: also want our staff to grow and have opportunities. And
40:38
Speaker 17: we've already had that. After year one. We had guys
40:40
Speaker 17: that you know, went on became head coaches, that went
40:44
Speaker 17: on to the collegiate level and stuff like that. And
40:47
Speaker 17: so you know, we always want them to grow professionally,
40:49
Speaker 17: but at the same time, we want some continuity here
40:52
Speaker 17: for these kids. And and so you know that's one,
40:55
Speaker 17: and then the one is just have a you know,
40:58
Speaker 17: the full program. I'm rolling and like I said earlier,
41:02
Speaker 17: you know from the youth all the way up and
41:05
Speaker 17: we're all talking the same lingos, same verbiage, and you know,
41:09
Speaker 17: all of the great programs around the state of Texas
41:11
Speaker 17: right now they have that. And it hasn't been just
41:14
Speaker 17: going for two three four years. It's been going for
41:18
Speaker 17: fifteen to twenty plus years. And that's why they're so successful.
41:22
Speaker 17: And so you know, three four or five years down
41:25
Speaker 17: the road, hopefully we're we're starting to scratch at some
41:29
Speaker 17: of that and get a lot better because of it,
41:31
Speaker 17: got a lot of kids out playing, and you know,
41:35
Speaker 17: a lot of community support, and so you know, we'd
41:39
Speaker 17: like to talk about championships and state championships and stuff
41:42
Speaker 17: like that. You know, there's so many variables that come
41:45
Speaker 17: into stuff like like went in state championships. I've been
41:48
Speaker 17: fortunate enough to be a part of a few of them,
41:50
Speaker 17: and you know, to get there and to do that,
41:54
Speaker 17: I think this is a place it certainly has the
41:56
Speaker 17: capability of doing it how soon, I don't know. You know,
42:01
Speaker 17: that's one of the reasons I took this job. I
42:03
Speaker 17: think it's one of the top ten jobs in the
42:05
Speaker 17: state of Texas. I've always sat there in mid way
42:09
Speaker 17: of the community, the school, just the legacy of excellent
42:15
Speaker 17: and so very fortunate to be a part of it.
42:18
Speaker 8: Very well.
42:18
Speaker 18: But thank you so much for your time.

Speaker 21: I'm go.
47:15
Speaker 13: One, no.
47:17
Speaker 8: One.
47:19
Speaker 5: You know, if I was a really lazy host. I
47:21
Speaker 5: just played this all the way to the top of
47:23
Speaker 5: the hour.
47:23
Speaker 1: Pot We're gonna hear a little bit from UH Chase Basontis,
47:28
Speaker 1: who visited with UH radio and TV and newspaper types today.
47:35
Speaker 14: Jayce, i't you just assess how the Elephants line is.
47:37
Speaker 2: Played through these first three games?
47:40
Speaker 8: Truly?
47:41
Speaker 29: I think we started slow the first two games this
47:43
Speaker 29: season because we were playing down to our opponent, and
47:45
Speaker 29: I think playing another Dame we had to pick it up,
47:48
Speaker 29: and I think we did that. And even so this week,
47:50
Speaker 29: the first SEC game, we're ready to show to SEC
47:53
Speaker 29: what the all lines about.
47:55
Speaker 14: I wis has legs and mitigating it's been this week.
47:59
Speaker 29: Yeah, No, We've been doing a lot of punishment, trying
48:01
Speaker 29: to minimize the penalties, trying to be a penalty free team.
48:06
Speaker 8: Uh, we feel like the only team that could beat
48:08
Speaker 8: us is us. So it's a big factor this week.
48:10
Speaker 1: What was it like beyond an offensive lineman and we
48:14
Speaker 1: had that he played the two backups.
48:17
Speaker 14: Before you were able to to get that with a
48:19
Speaker 14: a little little little bit of.
48:20
Speaker 29: Indication when that played with men, which just frustration. H
48:26
Speaker 29: But like, I think it shows a lot about our
48:27
Speaker 29: team and how we can overcome adversity.
48:30
Speaker 8: Well, just curious alight updowns. We've been doing a lot
48:35
Speaker 8: of updowns.
48:38
Speaker 21: Game you were.
48:41
Speaker 8: Yeah, how much motivation you have? Yeah, noah, big time.
48:50
Speaker 29: Just just it's been a long time coming, worked really hard,
48:54
Speaker 29: worked really hard to rehab.
48:55
Speaker 8: So I'm excited to go this week.
48:57
Speaker 2: Do you think the open leak was Uh?
49:00
Speaker 8: Was it been official for you?
49:01
Speaker 30: Or would you have rather just have to bend they
49:03
Speaker 30: come right back and play.
49:04
Speaker 8: The next week. I mean, we don't care who we play.
49:07
Speaker 8: We're ready to go. All right, That's all I got.
49:09
Speaker 14: So, Yeah, what have you seen from Auburn's defenses?
49:14
Speaker 1: You guys are getting to scout them.
49:16
Speaker 8: Uh.
49:16
Speaker 29: DJ Durkins great defensive coordinator. You know he was here
49:19
Speaker 29: in my freshman year. We've we've been putting in a
49:21
Speaker 29: lot of prep time, a lot of film time.
49:24
Speaker 8: They got a good defensive scheme, but we're gonna handle
49:26
Speaker 8: it well, yeah, go Chase pender can offs want to
49:30
Speaker 8: stuss outday and obviously fens what do you guys do
49:32

49:41
Speaker 29: So he's a great player. We know that we film studying,
49:45
Speaker 29: but uh, you know, we're gonna play our offensive scheme
49:48
Speaker 29: and we're gonna do what we could do.

Speaker 5: Right, What do you make of all going to talk
49:52
Speaker 5: about the Notre Dame.
