Speaker 2: nine seven nine seven seven eight six thousand.
0:42
Speaker 3: As far as I know the faces the stranger.
0:45
Speaker 4: I believe this is the very first Billy Joel to appear,
0:50
Speaker 4: at least when when I've been in studio.
0:54
Speaker 5: Well, I think that's as it should be. As it
0:56
Speaker 5: should be.
0:57
Speaker 4: Chip Howard Sports Talk on the Zone eleven to fifty
0:59
Speaker 4: eight ninety three point seven FM on this Thursday. Obviously,
1:03
Speaker 4: if you do not begin the show with Chicago beginnings,
1:07
Speaker 4: you know Chip's not in and normally on these days
1:11
Speaker 4: you will hear myself and my cohort Jason Cornelius, who
1:16
Speaker 4: might be one of the busiest people in Brian call
1:18
Speaker 4: station and is currently on a well deserved vacation. So Jason,
1:24
Speaker 4: enjoy the time off and the time away, but get
1:27
Speaker 4: ready to come back because I'm sure everyone's just piling
1:30
Speaker 4: up the stuff they're gonna want you to take care of.
1:32
Speaker 5: Hopefully he's sitting on a beach somewhere sipping a tasty bessach.
1:38
Speaker 4: He kept that very quiet as far as where he
1:40
Speaker 4: was headed, so I wonder if that's just so no
1:44
Speaker 4: bother him. But for our listening audience, which I do believe,
1:48
Speaker 4: if the number is holding steady, is currently made up
1:53
Speaker 4: of seventy four people thanks to my friend Curtis over
1:57
Speaker 4: at F forty five. The voice we are also hearing
2:01
Speaker 4: on the mic today is a new one and on
2:04
Speaker 4: the mic is Mike. Mister Mike Connor. Welcome, Thanks Jared.
2:09
Speaker 5: I appreciate the opportunity to be here. It's a lot
2:12
Speaker 5: of fun.
2:12
Speaker 4: So Jason and I have known each other probably since
2:17
Speaker 4: two thousand and four. Two thousand and five, we met
2:19
Speaker 4: through the chamber coincidentally, and I would dare say one
2:23
Speaker 4: of the few people who I've known longer than that,
2:26
Speaker 4: having met through the Chamber is mister Mike Connor, I.
2:31
Speaker 5: Think the exact same time. We went through Leadership brass
2:35
Speaker 5: two thousand and four, two thousand and five, that was
2:38
Speaker 5: our first first.
2:40
Speaker 4: Meeting that was and then got involved with the Ambassador program.
2:47
Speaker 4: Ran rough shot on that for any number of years,
2:50
Speaker 4: cont lots of shenanigans. You didn't succumb to this. I did.
2:55
Speaker 4: Lots of pounds gained because you never you don't realize
3:01
Speaker 4: until you're going to functions after work every day where
3:04
Speaker 4: there's food and tasty adult beverages. That kind of adds
3:08
Speaker 4: up after a while.
3:09
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, basically just check your liver at the door
3:11
Speaker 5: and you know when you start down that road.
3:14
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, in the infamous words of Glenn Brewer,
3:17
Speaker 4: who is now the CEO of the Chamber of Commerce. Uh,
3:21
Speaker 4: the motto of the Ambassador program was one more then
3:24
Speaker 4: I'll head home. Just one more, just one, just one more,
3:27
Speaker 4: just one more. But Mike, I do appreciate you being
3:30
Speaker 4: in here today.
3:31
Speaker 5: Uh.
3:32
Speaker 4: Mike, longtime uh with BTU, so you probably saw him
3:38
Speaker 4: around town. If you didn't know Mike in his days
3:41
Speaker 4: at A and m was one of the singing cadets
3:44
Speaker 4: and has UH has very much supported that organization UH
3:49
Speaker 4: since his time at A and m UH. He is
3:52
Speaker 4: also very steadfast involved, especially on Aggie Ring Day giving
3:58
Speaker 4: rings to the cadets they get their rings. So we
4:02
Speaker 4: have we have what I would I would dare say,
4:05
Speaker 4: a diehard red ass Aggie in studio today, and I'm
4:10
Speaker 4: glad he's here because we enjoy talking sports and that's
4:16
Speaker 4: one of the things we've done over the years, over text,
4:19
Speaker 4: over dinners, everything like that. One of the reasons I
4:24
Speaker 4: like Jason being in the driver's seat is because Jason's
4:28
Speaker 4: really good about keeping his eye on the clock. He's
4:30
Speaker 4: excellent at that. He does it so well when he's
4:33
Speaker 4: broadcasting football games or basketball games, and especially when he's
4:36
Speaker 4: doing it here. I, on the other hand, have to
4:39
Speaker 4: make a concerted effort to keep my eye on the
4:41
Speaker 4: clock to make sure I know when commercial breaks are
4:45
Speaker 4: coming up. And so that is going to be Mike's
4:48
Speaker 4: job today is to keep looking at me and making
4:51
Speaker 4: sure I'm watching the clock, because much like the timekeeper
4:55
Speaker 4: at auburnsman's basketball, apparently the concept of time sometimes is
5:00
Speaker 4: void of me. So I know this game happened two
5:03
Speaker 4: nights ago and I was watching it obviously knowing we
5:08
Speaker 4: were going to be in studio today to talk about it.
5:11
Speaker 4: Did not realize it was going to turn into one
5:14
Speaker 4: of the most acid reflux inducing games, especially towards the end,
5:21
Speaker 4: and then to just see the sheer insanity of what
5:24
Speaker 4: happened in those final few minutes is it's one of
5:29
Speaker 4: the most bizarre things. But it's something you almost would
5:34
Speaker 4: expect to see your in a random Tuesday night SEC
5:39
Speaker 4: basketball game, especially when it's held in Auburn, Alabama. So
5:44
Speaker 4: just real quick, and I want to thank longtime listener
5:47
Speaker 4: and good friend Arnold Crow for four providing this breakdown
5:51
Speaker 4: for those who don't know, because all I saw on
5:55
Speaker 4: the social media feeds that night and the next day
5:58
Speaker 4: was the SEC netw work feed that showed the superimposed
6:03
Speaker 4: clock during the final shot of the game that was
6:08
Speaker 4: that ended up being waved off by the officials. So
6:12
Speaker 4: here's here's Arnold's breakdown, which he did second by second.
6:15
Speaker 4: So ball goes out of bounds, Aggie's throwing it in
6:18
Speaker 4: with two point seven seconds left. We were fouled on
6:22
Speaker 4: the throw in with one point seven seconds left. Clock
6:26
Speaker 4: is adjusted to two point zero seconds left. We shoot
6:31
Speaker 4: a free throw clock is then adjusted to two points
6:35
Speaker 4: four seconds left, and then quite possibly the longest point
6:41
Speaker 4: six seconds ever on the inbound I get it, college
6:50
Speaker 4: basketball game, whatever, But there's also a part of me
6:56
Speaker 4: and this is just reckless speculation. Whenever you have a
7:00
Speaker 4: pearl coaching a basketball program, you just kind of have
7:04
Speaker 4: to wonder about some of the underhanded possibilities that are
7:10
Speaker 4: out there.
7:10
Speaker 5: And there's also the SEC officials, yes, yeah, involved as well,
7:15
Speaker 5: So that's possibly.
7:16
Speaker 4: Well and I do get I do give him credit
7:18
Speaker 4: because when the officials went to look at the replay,
7:20
Speaker 4: I believe they were looking at the fact that the
7:23
Speaker 4: light on the backboard goes red while the ball is
7:28
Speaker 4: still in And I apologize, I don't have the Auburn
7:30
Speaker 4: player's name on the top of my head. The ball
7:33
Speaker 4: is still in his hand, despite the fact the superimposed
7:37
Speaker 4: clock makes it look like there is still point I
7:40
Speaker 4: believe point three or point four seconds left. Yeah, point
7:45
Speaker 4: three at the time he releases the ball. So they
7:50
Speaker 4: were clearly looking at the backboard light, which my understanding
7:54
Speaker 4: is based on the official clock, not necessarily on the
7:59
Speaker 4: clock that may have been above the backboard controlled by
8:03
Speaker 4: the timekeeper. Right, So anyway, exciting win for A and
8:07
Speaker 4: M men's basketball first year under coach Bucky having a
8:12
Speaker 4: really good start.
8:13
Speaker 5: Yeah. Uh, surprisingly, actually.
8:15
Speaker 4: I know that was that was one of the one
8:17
Speaker 4: of the question marks coming into this year was could
8:19
Speaker 4: this team be as competitive as last year's team. New coach,
8:25
Speaker 4: new system, completely new system.
8:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, and how does that new system? It may work
8:32
Speaker 5: at the at the mid major level, but when you
8:36
Speaker 5: get up into the big boy basketball, you know, how
8:39
Speaker 5: does how is that going to play in when you've
8:41
Speaker 5: got you've got playing, as Gary Blair says, amongst the trees.
8:46
Speaker 4: Yes, and more importantly, probably one of the strongest basketball
8:50
Speaker 4: conferences in the country in the SEC now UH and
8:56
Speaker 4: have has a very big matchup against Oklahoma this weekend.
8:59
Speaker 4: UH really encouraging, especially as most students should be getting
9:03
Speaker 4: back since school starts back next week. So folks in
9:08
Speaker 4: folks in the BCS and Aguiland area just get ready
9:10
Speaker 4: to pack your patients on Highway six. It's actually been
9:14
Speaker 4: pretty nice this week, even with the school districts going back,
9:20
Speaker 4: because that's that's always my measure. I just I remember
9:23
Speaker 4: going back into the fall, first day of school and
9:27
Speaker 4: we've got to make the track from South Gault Station
9:30
Speaker 4: all the way up to Oakwood, so we're taking we
9:32
Speaker 4: have Highway six all the way into Texas Avenue. It
9:35
Speaker 4: was it was a parking lot. It's like no one
9:37
Speaker 4: remembered what to do. This week actually flowing pretty good.
9:42
Speaker 4: I just don't know if that's just no one from
9:44
Speaker 4: A and M is back yet, but I'm sure they're
9:47
Speaker 4: going to be heading back in here pretty quick. Back
9:52
Speaker 4: on basketball, based on what you've seen this year, and
9:59
Speaker 4: I know sample size is pretty small, especially against the
10:02
Speaker 4: competition we've played up to this point, how are you
10:06
Speaker 4: feeling as far as men's basketball this season compared to say,
10:10
Speaker 4: last season.
10:12
Speaker 5: Compared to last season. I think the jury is still out,
10:15
Speaker 5: but I'm pleasantly surprised by what I've seen so far.
10:20
Speaker 5: It's a fun team to watch, you know, you know
10:24
Speaker 5: love Buzz, you know, love what he brought to this
10:26
Speaker 5: to the program. But this team is a lot more
10:30
Speaker 5: fun to watch than a Buzz Williams passed the ball
10:35
Speaker 5: around and and then you know, dribble, drive to the basket,
10:39
Speaker 5: or throw up a three and have it, you know,
10:41
Speaker 5: clang off the right. But yeah, I said, they're a
10:45
Speaker 5: lot more fun to watch. I want to. Like you said,
10:49
Speaker 5: the sample sizes is small. We haven't really the teams
10:55
Speaker 5: that we should have beaten. We beat the the small
11:00
Speaker 5: conference teams. Losing to I think was it U c F.
11:06
Speaker 6: Was it?
11:07
Speaker 5: Who else do we lose to? Was it Ou? No?
11:09
Speaker 5: Not it was another Big twelve team. Anyway we played
11:14
Speaker 5: those two Big twelve teams, we would lose those games.
11:18
Speaker 5: And then SMU being in the a c C should
11:21
Speaker 5: have won that game. Absolutely should have won that game.
11:24
Speaker 5: But from a fans perspective, a ton of fun to
11:28
Speaker 5: watch they. I love the high energy, the full court
11:34
Speaker 5: press on defense.
11:35
Speaker 7: Uh.
11:36
Speaker 5: The the end of that game against the Auburn was
11:41
Speaker 5: kind of reminiscent of the that Northern Iowa a gain
11:45
Speaker 5: in the in the when they started.
11:47
Speaker 4: I think in both cases we came back from or
11:50
Speaker 4: let me rephrase that. Both games featured coming back from
11:54
Speaker 4: down fourteen in four quarter double digits.
11:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, some some double digit and within a matter of
12:01
Speaker 5: seconds we had, you know, cut that lead in half.
12:05
Speaker 5: So watching that kind of brought back some fun memories
12:08
Speaker 5: from that Northern Eye with tournament game.
12:10
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously I don't have the the bona fide
12:14
Speaker 4: expertise that Jason has, especially when it comes to college basketball.
12:17
Speaker 4: But one of the things that has been very remarkable
12:21
Speaker 4: to me, now granted again it is against the smaller team,
12:25
Speaker 4: the smaller conference teams, is just statistically the points and
12:30
Speaker 4: the scoring that this team is putting up, especially compared
12:33
Speaker 4: to previous And we're not just talking previous you know,
12:36
Speaker 4: the buzz Williams here. I mean we're talking previous campaigns
12:39
Speaker 4: from multiple coaches, Kennedy all the way back.
12:41
Speaker 5: To the lesson in anything.
12:43
Speaker 4: No, I mean, no nothing.
12:46
Speaker 8: I mean.
12:49
Speaker 4: I was gonna make a joke about the Walkins era,
12:51
Speaker 4: but never mind, we'll keep it classy here. But but seriously,
12:56
Speaker 4: for anyone who's in Agiland, college student locals, whatever, big
13:02
Speaker 4: game against ou Pack, read and get loud. It is exciting.
13:07
Speaker 4: Two o'clock, two o'clock, two o'clock clock two, and we're
13:12
Speaker 4: gonna we'll be talking football here in a moment, probably
13:16
Speaker 4: not going to interfere with any games. You're really going
13:17
Speaker 4: to care about it that time, because the afternoon slate's
13:21
Speaker 4: not not necessarily the most attractive. But uh, like I said,
13:27
Speaker 4: it is, Uh, it's great that, you know, coming off
13:31
Speaker 4: the success that that Aggie football had especially off the
13:34
Speaker 4: success that volleyball had. We're not we're not taking the
13:37
Speaker 4: winner off so far. Knock on wood.
13:40
Speaker 5: Uh.
13:40
Speaker 4: Men's basketball is pretty is exciting to watch, and like
13:44
Speaker 4: I said, it's it's a different Like you said, it
13:46
Speaker 4: is a different style than than what we've kind of
13:48
Speaker 4: become accustomed to over the past couple of years. All Right,
13:53
Speaker 4: we are coming up on our first break, and when
13:56
Speaker 4: we come back, we're gonna start talking the NFL because
13:59
Speaker 4: we've got the layoffs, we've got super wildcar weekend, we've
14:02
Speaker 4: got a coaching carousel that might be one of the
14:06
Speaker 4: craziest that we've had, at least in the modern era.
14:10
Speaker 4: And we've got so much more to talk about. So
14:14

Speaker 11: Having Kanty and Michelle are fun sportsmanlike you know.
15:56
Speaker 12: Who else just puts a lot of pressure on is
15:57
Speaker 12: Lamar Jackson. John Harbaugh is not there to take the
16:00
Speaker 12: slings and arrows and for everyone to point at him
16:02
Speaker 12: and say he didn't get it done. The pressure is
16:04
Speaker 12: going to move to Lamar in a big way. Yes
16:07
Speaker 12: he's a Hall of Famer, but he needs to win
16:08
Speaker 12: a super Bowl. And now all of a sudden, your
16:10
Speaker 12: voice is carrying more weight. This is uncharted territory for Baltimore,
16:14
Speaker 12: who's had the same guy in place for almost two decades.
16:17
Speaker 5: Unsportsman like listen in weekday mornings from five to eight
16:20
Speaker 5: of the Zone eleven AM and ninety three point seven FM.
16:25
Speaker 13: Oh already type things I like right already type goes right,
16:37
Speaker 13: don't you know how good do good dance?
16:49
Speaker 14: It's news.
16:51
Speaker 8: You'll think him.
16:54
Speaker 4: Blake if you're out there listening, Blake, that one's just
16:59
Speaker 4: for you. Oh man, he just got so annoyed the summer.
17:05
Speaker 4: I kept making him play dua lipa every time we guess.
17:08
Speaker 4: Host Chip Howard Sports Talk on the zone eleven to
17:11
Speaker 4: fifty A ninety three point seven FM. Mike Connor, Jared
17:14
Speaker 4: Hicks Jet running the board today, helping us out on
17:19
Speaker 4: the ones and twos.
17:21
Speaker 5: All Right, we're.
17:22
Speaker 4: Gonna talk the NFL, and we're gonna before we get
17:25
Speaker 4: to the playoffs, we'll talk about that, probably a little
17:28
Speaker 4: more in depth after the high school report. Coming up
17:31
Speaker 4: at the bottom of the hour, we're gonna talk coaching carousel,
17:34
Speaker 4: because coming into today you had seven teams in the
17:40
Speaker 4: NFL that were in the market for a head coach.
17:44
Speaker 4: The most shocking, well, let me rephrase, probably the most
17:47
Speaker 4: surprising decision came when Baltimore finally pulled the trigger and
17:55
Speaker 4: let go of John Harbaugh. Because despite the fact, yeah,
18:04
Speaker 4: they've they've underperformed, uh to a degree, he has in
18:11
Speaker 4: his period of time, he's only missed the playoffs I
18:13
Speaker 4: believe two of the years he's been there. But the
18:19
Speaker 4: word coming out is, uh, he was not seeing eye
18:22
Speaker 4: to eye with Lamar Jackson. He's somewhat lost the locker
18:25
Speaker 4: room and he I mean, he's been there for well,
18:28
Speaker 4: you know, for more than a decade, and so the
18:30
Speaker 4: argument could be made that, yeah, maybe it is time
18:33
Speaker 4: to to to kind of change course, but it's hard
18:36
Speaker 4: to deny the job he's done, right, super Bowl win,
18:39
Speaker 4: super Bowl, super Bowl win with Joe Flacco. I mean,
18:43
Speaker 4: he he's been able to to do well and probably
18:46
Speaker 4: in one of the toughest divisions, not always.
18:49
Speaker 5: The top the top.
18:50
Speaker 4: Toughest, but definitely one where you got to you know, claw,
18:55
Speaker 4: scratch and fight your way out between Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati.
19:00
Speaker 4: So that made him kind of the prize get in
19:02
Speaker 4: this coaching carousel and then this morning, and it's like,
19:08
Speaker 4: thank you forgiving us more things to discuss when we're
19:12
Speaker 4: filling in. The Miami Dolphins, which have been much maligned
19:18
Speaker 4: to the point where they have not won a playoff
19:22
Speaker 4: game in this century. Keep in mind, this is the
19:26
Speaker 4: team and I know it is a short, shorter schedule.
19:28
Speaker 4: This is the only team that had a perfect record
19:31
Speaker 4: nineteen seventy two. Dolphins. They still pop the champagne every year,
19:34
Speaker 4: you know, blah blah blah. One of the winningest programs
19:38
Speaker 4: in NFL history. Franchise Story, franchise up until this decade. Well,
19:45
Speaker 4: they finally said, you know what, earlier this year they
19:49
Speaker 4: let go of their longtime GM which it's kind of
19:52
Speaker 4: surprising that he was able to survive that he I
19:56
Speaker 4: believe he was the longest tenured GM to never win
20:00
Speaker 4: a playoff game in the NFL. They are currently in
20:06
Speaker 4: search of a new GM. Steven Ross, the owner of
20:09
Speaker 4: the Dolphins, has hired Troy Aikman, of all people, to
20:14
Speaker 4: help in this search, which there's some rumors out there that,
20:18
Speaker 4: you know, Troy may may as a consultant consult himself
20:23
Speaker 4: into that position, but you know that's neither.
20:25
Speaker 5: Here nor there.
20:26
Speaker 4: But the word that we got yesterday was that Mike McDaniel,
20:31
Speaker 4: coach of the Dolphins, was part of this GM search
20:36
Speaker 4: and that they had the Dolphins had narrowed their list
20:40
Speaker 4: down to four finalists as of yesterday, and then McDaniel
20:45
Speaker 4: gets the acts today, So that kind of makes you wonder,
20:49
Speaker 4: did he sign his own death warrant by agreeing to
20:52
Speaker 4: these four potential gms, because I mean, in the grand
20:57
Speaker 4: scheme of things, Yeah, the Dolphins have a multitude of
20:59
Speaker 4: problems to tackle. Aloa, who looked like he was going
21:04
Speaker 4: to be the breakout quarterback two seasons ago. With all
21:08
Speaker 4: the injuries, especially with the concussions he's had, he has
21:11
Speaker 4: regressed terribly this when the when he's not playing with
21:15
Speaker 4: the Dolphins, they are atrocious. And then this year, even
21:17
Speaker 4: when he was playing, they weren't that they they didn't
21:20
Speaker 4: They just could not get anything going. He has a
21:23
Speaker 4: massive contract. It's going to be near impossible to unload.
21:25
Speaker 4: So the Dolphins have a multitude of problems. I bring
21:28
Speaker 4: all this up because now with McDaniel being fired, twenty
21:32
Speaker 4: five percent of the NFL coaching positions are open.
21:37
Speaker 5: It's wild. Yeah, yeah, it's almost like the college football's
21:42
Speaker 5: the same going through the same thing. I read this
21:45
Speaker 5: earlier today. I found that interesting. What if the Ravens
21:51
Speaker 5: had made the field goal?
21:54
Speaker 4: Oh perfect, perfect, perfect talk, Yes, coach, it is tom
22:00
Speaker 4: it's Tomlin who gets who gets fired? I firmly believe
22:03
Speaker 4: that would probably that would be the case. In fact,
22:06
Speaker 4: when we when we start talking about playoff talk in
22:10
Speaker 4: two segments, I think there's a reasonable question to ask
22:14
Speaker 4: with the tech with Houston going to Pittsburgh to play
22:18
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh in the wild card game Monday night. If Pittsburgh
22:22
Speaker 4: loses that game, they do they fire Tomlin after that?
22:26
Speaker 4: Because again, the same issue we were talking about this
22:30
Speaker 4: in our pre show meeting Pittsburgh this stat I mean,
22:37
Speaker 4: this stat just still boggles my mind. Pittsburgh has basically
22:41
Speaker 4: had three coaches in its history, Chuck Knowle, Bill Kauer,
22:46
Speaker 4: and now Mike Tomlin. I mean, compare that to the
22:50
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys and how many coaches they've had just in
22:52
Speaker 4: the last two decades.
22:54
Speaker 8: But the problem with being.
22:58
Speaker 4: Moderately successful, which tom has, he has a Super Bowl win.
23:02
Speaker 4: For years, Pittsburgh's defense was the most one of the
23:06
Speaker 4: most out in the AFC, probably on par with the Ravens.
23:11
Speaker 4: But the problem with when you're consistently eight and eight,
23:14
Speaker 4: nine and eight, now with the seventeen schedule, you know
23:17
Speaker 4: you're right there in the middle. It's you're never drafting
23:21
Speaker 4: a top tier quarterback and you're typically not drafting a
23:26
Speaker 4: blue chip rookie who can come in and make a
23:28
Speaker 4: difference for your program. So what you do, what you
23:31
Speaker 4: have to do is you basically have to utilize free
23:34
Speaker 4: agency to make a difference. Look at the court, I
23:37
Speaker 4: mean since Roethlisberger went out, Look at the quarterbacks that
23:41
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh has had. I mean we're talking Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky.
23:45
Speaker 4: I mean, you bring in a forty year old Aaron
23:47
Speaker 4: Rodgers on a repaired achilles. I mean, it's really tough
23:51
Speaker 4: to do anything there when you don't have a top
23:56
Speaker 4: level quarterback guiding the program. But yeah, I firmly believe
24:02
Speaker 4: if that if the field, if the Ravens make that
24:04
Speaker 4: field goal on Sunday night, it's Harbaugh who keeps his
24:09
Speaker 4: job for this week obviously for the wild card game,
24:11
Speaker 4: and it's probably Tomlin. I don't know if he gets
24:13
Speaker 4: fired as much as it he agrees to step down,
24:17
Speaker 4: because no matter what, both of those guys are going
24:22
Speaker 4: to be highly sought.
24:24
Speaker 5: Out, absolutely absolutely, just just the resume that they bring.
24:28
Speaker 5: They're both Super Bowl winners, they were at their respective
24:33
Speaker 5: franchises for a good number of years and did a
24:37
Speaker 5: lot of good things, but like you said, just kind
24:39
Speaker 5: of fell into a level of mediocrity. Let's say, yeah
24:45
Speaker 5: in terms of and you know that doesn't put butts
24:47
Speaker 5: in seats.
24:48
Speaker 4: Well, and especially for the Ravens because you have a
24:51
Speaker 4: three time MVP uh with Lamar Jackson, you brought in
24:55
Speaker 4: Derek Henry last year, just terror on the field, rushing
25:00
Speaker 4: the ball, but you just still cannot get out of
25:02
Speaker 4: that first or second round of the playoffs, and you
25:04
Speaker 4: haven't been able to to make the leap, but circling
25:10
Speaker 4: back to some of the other coaching position I'm sorry, no, no, no, no,
25:12
Speaker 4: I was just circling back to some of the other
25:14
Speaker 4: coaching positions. So so for the Giants, the New York Giants,
25:19
Speaker 4: they let go of Dave Ball early in the year.
25:23
Speaker 4: Reports are they are they are going to interview former
25:27
Speaker 4: Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. You know, and I don't
25:34
Speaker 4: like to quo.
25:35
Speaker 5: He was also fired from the Packers.
25:37
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, just extreme mediocrity, especially when you have
25:41
Speaker 4: a generational quarterback like Aaron Rodgers. The Tennessee Titans are
25:46
Speaker 4: interviewing Jason Garrett, which.
25:51
Speaker 8: You know, again.
25:54
Speaker 5: What we we nice guy, nice guy.
25:56
Speaker 4: Okay, here's what I can I can make sense with
26:00
Speaker 4: Jason Garrett. Harvard educated, supposedly an incredibly gifted quarterback. Mine
26:08
Speaker 4: perhaps not an organizational leader. So yeah, at Tennessee, you've
26:13
Speaker 4: got You've got cam Ward at quarterback. You have a
26:16
Speaker 4: top level quarterback that maybe he can turn into something
26:19
Speaker 4: even greater. The problem is other than that, Tennessee ain't
26:22
Speaker 4: got nothing. So you're you're gonna have to bring in
26:25
Speaker 4: like an exceptional defensive coordinator and more importantly, probably someone
26:30
Speaker 4: who you're gonna have to have a strong general manager
26:32
Speaker 4: because again I do not think.
26:33
Speaker 5: Get the talent exactly.
26:36
Speaker 4: So you know, the Cardinals open position that's not gonna
26:42
Speaker 4: look attractive because again you're getting You're you're saddled with, uh,
26:46
Speaker 4: a quarterback who is questionable with a sizable contract, and.
26:51
Speaker 5: Do you play in a very competitive, tough division exactly
26:56
Speaker 5: with all three the other three teams are in the playoffs.
26:59
Speaker 5: The Cardinals are the only ones that are not exactly correct.
27:03
Speaker 4: Correct Cleveland let go of Kevin Stevanski. Supposedly the Giants
27:08
Speaker 4: want to interview him. That might actually be a good
27:10
Speaker 4: fit and definitely would be a big boost for a
27:13
Speaker 4: coach who you know, I firmly believe, uh, there's there's
27:17
Speaker 4: two to three spots in the NFL that are just
27:22
Speaker 4: a graveyard when it comes to being a head coach.
27:25
Speaker 4: It's Cleveland, It's Cincinnati, and it's.
27:27
Speaker 5: The New York Jets.
27:28
Speaker 4: I believe those three organizations they if you go there,
27:32
Speaker 4: you have to go there just being a glutton for punishment,
27:36
Speaker 4: because you run the risk of running your career into
27:40
Speaker 4: the ground trying to to turn the tide on something
27:43
Speaker 4: that just does not want to turn to the only
27:46
Speaker 4: the only one out there that is interesting but is
27:50
Speaker 4: kind of in is kind of in the same boat.
27:52
Speaker 4: And my apologies to Andreas if you're listening, it's the
27:55
Speaker 4: Las Vegas Raiders. Mark Davis is just he's definitely not
28:02
Speaker 4: his dad, not exactly sure what he is. He is
28:07
Speaker 4: apparently willing to spend money, but I again, I just
28:10
Speaker 4: don't know about when you have an owner who likes
28:13
Speaker 4: to be as involved as he likes to be, if
28:17
Speaker 4: you're going to ultimately have any kind of success on
28:20
Speaker 4: the stuff.
28:21
Speaker 5: Like other owners that are a few miles up the
28:24
Speaker 5: road northward.
28:25
Speaker 4: Well, that's the point I was going to go to,
28:26
Speaker 4: because Jerry decided to just give us a whopper of
28:31
Speaker 4: a quote this year or this week, letting us know
28:34
Speaker 4: that when he retires, which by the way, I believe
28:37
Speaker 4: will only happen when he is cured of that oxygen
28:39
Speaker 4: dependency that he has, he wants to retire as the
28:43
Speaker 4: owner with the most Super Bowl wins. He currently has three.
28:47
Speaker 4: Robert Kraft currently has six. Yeah, Mike is shaking his head.
28:54
Speaker 4: There is no way now, granted, if there's an NFL
28:58
Speaker 4: owner who may live to be a hun and fifty
29:00
Speaker 4: thanks to money and modern science.
29:02
Speaker 5: It probably Jerry Jerry Jones.
29:05
Speaker 4: But even with that, I still don't see the fact
29:08
Speaker 4: this team being able to win three Super Bowls before
29:11
Speaker 4: he quote unquote retires. So, all right, you should have four.
29:16
Speaker 4: He should have four. I agree, But you know what,
29:20
Speaker 4: he probably could have had more if he just would
29:22
Speaker 4: have let Jimmy Johnson do his thing.
29:23
Speaker 5: But no, that's what I'm saying.
29:25
Speaker 4: You know, he still doesn't recognize what the central problem is.
29:28
Speaker 4: All Right, we gotta take another break. When we come back,
29:31
Speaker 4: we'll have the high school report and this segment of
29:33

31:14
Speaker 3: gauge your squad's performance through non conference play and all those.
31:18
Speaker 7: Tournaments, Well, caleb we're a very young, team only two
31:23
Speaker 7: seniors and four sophomores and or five sophomores and a,
31:28
Speaker 7: freshman so very very. Young but you played twenty seven
31:34
Speaker 7: non district, games so the young kids aren't young.
31:37
Speaker 8: Anymore they've got a lot of, experience and it was.
31:42
Speaker 18: A good non district for.
31:44
Speaker 7: Us you, know if you, know as, coaches we sit,
31:48
Speaker 7: around you, know before the, season think, HEY i think
31:51
Speaker 7: we can probably win this.
31:52
Speaker 18: ONE i don't know if we can win this, one you,
31:55
Speaker 18: know SO.
31:56
Speaker 7: I going into, THIS i, thought you, know seventeen and
31:59
Speaker 7: ten would probab be kind of a high, mark at
32:02
Speaker 7: fifteen and twelve woud.
32:04
Speaker 18: Probably be a low. Mark so here we are right
32:05
Speaker 18: in the.
32:05
Speaker 7: Middle so, there you, know, uh there's games we probably you,
32:10
Speaker 7: KNOW i think we wish we could have could have. Back
32:14
Speaker 7: lost two games in overtime and both of them were
32:19
Speaker 7: we had the ball and it was in our hands
32:21
Speaker 7: and we could have won the ball.
32:22
Speaker 8: Game but then we won a.
32:24
Speaker 7: Couple of games that you.
32:27
Speaker 8: Know that we're bounced back.
32:29
Speaker 7: Games, so SO i think this team's got a lot
32:33
Speaker 7: of experience after the twenty seven games we played and
32:37
Speaker 7: we're on a two game winning, streak so we're ready
32:40
Speaker 7: for district This.
32:40
Speaker 3: Friday so you mentioned teams very young this, year AND
32:44
Speaker 3: i saw that y'all graduated six seniors from last year's.
32:47
Speaker 3: Squad so who are some of the girls that have
32:49
Speaker 3: stepped up in the absences of those seniors to lead
32:52
Speaker 3: the squad to the place it is right?
32:53
Speaker 8: Now, well, yeah and you're.
32:55
Speaker 7: Right we had six seniors and that was one of
32:58
Speaker 7: the biggest senior classes That i've had Since i've been.
33:02
Speaker 7: Here and this is my twenty eighth. Year hard to,
33:04

33:21
Speaker 7: year letter. Winner she's our leading. Scorer dakaya is our point.
33:26
Speaker 7: Guard both of them average and then double. Figures both
33:29
Speaker 7: of them have provided great, leadership which is what you
33:32
Speaker 7: want your seniors to. Do they just kind of go and,
33:36
Speaker 7: play and then those young kids kind of follow but
33:40
Speaker 7: the two, that like, say our two seniors Is Rihanna
33:43

36:06
Speaker 8: Opener.
36:07
Speaker 3: Uh looks like pretty tough district six teams that could,
36:11
Speaker 3: all you, know make some. Noise but what are your
36:13
Speaker 3: thoughts on the district schedule.
36:14
Speaker 8: And what are your?
36:15
Speaker 7: Expectations, well a couple of the preseason, polls which you
36:19
Speaker 7: can take, those and you, know because you, know being
36:22
Speaker 7: down here in The Brass, valley you, know you didn't
36:26
Speaker 7: EXPECT a AND m football to to do what they
36:28
Speaker 7: did based on the preseason. Poll so but we're picked
36:33
Speaker 7: third Behind, lagrange who has two of the three probably
36:39
Speaker 7: best offensive players in the. District and they consequently have
36:43
Speaker 7: have done kind of what they thought they were going to.
36:46
Speaker 7: DO i think they won seventeen or eighteen in non,
36:48
Speaker 7: district they're their top fifteen.
36:50
Speaker 8: In the state in FOUR.
36:51
Speaker 7: A they've they've their losses to have been against some
36:56
Speaker 7: really really quality. Teams so they're they were picked, first
37:00
Speaker 7: AND i would after the non district, Schedule i'd say
37:05
Speaker 7: they are probably the preseason's. Favorite after, that you Have,
37:08
Speaker 7: smithville who has the RETURNING mvp from last.
37:12
Speaker 8: Year she's a senior a.
37:13
Speaker 7: Guard anytime you have a player like, her she can

43:49
Speaker 11: Com loveday.
44:20
Speaker 4: So ruth to be told one of the one of
44:31
Speaker 4: when you get A tv now a SMART, tv like
44:34
Speaker 4: they have their own channel lineup and, uh they were
44:40
Speaker 4: showing this just Before. Christmas they were showing Like Sister
44:43
Speaker 4: act and Then Sister act two back to. Back AND
44:46
Speaker 4: i always Loved Sister act one and had maybe Watched
44:49
Speaker 4: Sister act two once in my, life and SO i
44:51
Speaker 4: decided to sit down and watch it first and. FOREMOST
44:54
Speaker 4: i forgot how many future big stars were In Sister act.
44:58
Speaker 4: Two but WHAT i didn't forget is that there was
45:02
Speaker 4: a REASON i only watched it maybe. Once it's not
45:04
Speaker 4: that good of a movie and it is Clearly. Disney.
45:11
Speaker 4: Uh coming off the success Of Sister act, one was,
45:13
Speaker 4: like if we do this, again we can make more,
45:16
Speaker 4: money and, no it just it didn't work.
45:19
Speaker 5: Out BUT i THINK i think in my lifetime the
45:21
Speaker 5: only sequel that has lived up to the to the
45:25
Speaker 5: original was the Original The empire strikes back in terms of,
45:30
Speaker 5: sequels true and and and then it just went downhill from.
45:34
Speaker 4: THERE i mean WHAT i WHAT i WHAT i would say, is,
45:38
Speaker 4: uh The Dark NIGHT i do believe is superior To batman.
45:43
Speaker 4: Begins so as a as a quote unquote, SEQUEL i
45:47
Speaker 4: would probably put that in the same category As. Empire have.
45:52
Speaker 4: YOU i don't want to get too much into. Entertainment
45:55
Speaker 4: did you watch And?
45:56
Speaker 6: Or?
45:57
Speaker 4: Yes, okay what do you?
45:58
Speaker 5: THINK i loved?
45:59
Speaker 4: IT i did.
45:59
Speaker 5: Too matter of, Fact i've liked the some of that's
46:04
Speaker 5: the series better than the last three.
46:08
Speaker 4: Movies oh, yeah you, know hands, down you.
46:10
Speaker 5: Know and also then to Watch then we watched And.
46:15
Speaker 5: Or and then as soon as we got through watching.
46:17
Speaker 4: And, or we Turn ongue.
46:19
Speaker 5: One WHAT i had already Seen rogue, One sheila had,
46:21
Speaker 5: Not and so we Got once we got done watching and, orsay,
46:26
Speaker 5: okay we gotta watch From one. Now and Watching rogue
46:30
Speaker 5: one a second, TIME i caught so much more THAN
46:36
Speaker 5: i THAT i didn't the first TIME i watched, it
46:39
Speaker 5: and so a lot of it made. It it really
46:41
Speaker 5: just tied it all.
46:41
Speaker 4: Again, well As jason put, it when you watch And,
46:45
Speaker 4: or it completely flips your interpretation Of rogue. One if
46:50
Speaker 4: you just Watched rogue one by itself the first time,
46:53
Speaker 4: exactly it's Like cassie and And or seems like he
46:56
Speaker 4: is just a small part character in this movie that
47:00
Speaker 4: might be a potential love. Interest you put those two
47:03
Speaker 4: seasons of And or in front Of it's, like, no, no,
47:05
Speaker 4: no he is a very complex, character and it breaks
47:09
Speaker 4: your heart to know the ending of And or knowing
47:13
Speaker 4: the ending Of rogue. One, yep, Yep, okay all, right we,
47:15
Speaker 4: digress we. Digress coming. Back Chip, Howard Sports talk on
47:18
Speaker 4: The zone eleven FIFTY, am ninety three point SEVEN, Fm Jared,
47:21
Speaker 4: Hicks Mike. Connor all, right we're gonna continue our discussion
47:25
Speaker 4: OF nfl because it Is super Wild card weekend coming,
47:29
Speaker 4: up and as we were talking about during the High score,
47:34
Speaker 4: report in order to watch all these, games hopefully you
47:39
Speaker 4: have set yourself up with just about every subscription service
47:43
Speaker 4: that's out, there because guess, what you're gonna need.
47:45
Speaker 5: THEM i don't See Paramount plus on, here.
47:51
Speaker 4: No they, yeah you do not have The Paramount plus exclusive.
47:56
Speaker 4: Game but when we get To, saturday, yep. Yep and
48:00
Speaker 4: you brought this up the afternoon Game La rams Against
48:06
Speaker 4: Carolina now for those who don't, know and you may
48:10
Speaker 4: not know this because you're not following THE nfl.
48:14
Speaker 5: As an intent this since since the demise of the
48:17
Speaker 5: my Beloved Dallas, KELVINS i don't really pay attention to
48:20
Speaker 5: THE nfl that.
48:21
Speaker 4: Much but, okay so just so you, know and just
48:25
Speaker 4: so the audience listening may, Know Carolina panthers come into
48:29
Speaker 4: the playoffs because of the outcome of The Atlanta New
48:36
Speaker 4: Orleans saints game this past.
48:38
Speaker 5: Weekend so they're basically backed Into.
48:41
Speaker 4: They backed in with AND i believe they backed in
48:45
Speaker 4: with a losing. RECORD i, mean if there's one THING
48:50
Speaker 4: i almost wish they would do away with or reorganize
48:55
Speaker 4: in THE, nfl it is the division, structure because this
48:58
Speaker 4: is it's. Nine not only did these teams get, in
49:03
Speaker 4: but they get to host the home. Game so The
49:07
Speaker 4: rams are going to be traveling across the country to Play, carolina,
49:11
Speaker 4: which as you pointed, out.
49:14
Speaker 5: They they The carolina won their their regular season, matchup.
49:17
Speaker 4: Correct so going to be interesting to. See now The
49:22
Speaker 4: rams have been playing at a much higher, level especially
49:25
Speaker 4: coming in to the end of the, season but, again
49:27
Speaker 4: you got to go across the. Country you're, playing you're
49:29
Speaker 4: playing in what used to be The Houston texans proverbial
49:33
Speaker 4: playoff game every. Year we'll talk about them a little
49:36
Speaker 4: bit more here in a, second but, yeah THE i
49:41
Speaker 4: Mean LA la is favored by ten and a Half vegas, usually,
49:47
Speaker 4: WELL i, mean for for AN nfl, game for any
49:50
Speaker 4: team to be favored by double, digits that pretty much
49:53
Speaker 4: tells you that the, money the money is is firmly
49:56
Speaker 4: on on them to. Win but as you pointed, out
50:00
Speaker 4: uh in our pre show, meeting probably the best game
50:03
Speaker 4: of the, Weekend.
50:05
Speaker 5: Bay In chicago old school THE Nfc Norris. Division you're throwing,
50:12
Speaker 5: There Chris berman in the reference in the third time
50:17
Speaker 5: they played each other this, year this year split they
50:20
Speaker 5: split the season. Matchups but if, if IF i recall
50:26
Speaker 5: both teams were a player or two, away oh in.
50:31
Speaker 4: Sweeping, Yes, now these games have been incredibly. Close in,
50:34
Speaker 4: fact the've probably been some of the most entertaining games
50:36
Speaker 4: of the. Year and that's why you see the line
50:37
Speaker 4: at this Green bay is only favored by a point
50:39
Speaker 4: and a, half which you, know typically the home team
50:42
Speaker 4: gets the advance in a.
50:44
Speaker 5: Close game home and gets to.
50:47
Speaker 28: This, so, uh.
50:50
Speaker 4: If you don't already have a prime subscription or A prime,
50:54
Speaker 4: membership as they've been advertising, Heavily hey do that thirty
50:58
Speaker 4: day free. Trial AND i will say, this for for
51:03
Speaker 4: as much bemoaning as we've, done, that you you have
51:08
Speaker 4: to do these subscription. Services the fact they have so
51:12
Speaker 4: much money and they put that into the production of
51:14
Speaker 4: these they look. Incredible. Absolutely in, FACT i would dare
51:18
Speaker 4: say The prime broadcast now that they're getting better, games
51:21
Speaker 4: because that first, year oh my, lord those. Stunk On thursday,
51:24
Speaker 4: nights with more competitive, games the presentation is probably probably top.
51:32
Speaker 4: Notch AND i would SAY espn has has definitely stepped
51:36
Speaker 4: up their game On Monday night football kind of as
51:38
Speaker 4: a result of. That all, Right so now we get To,
51:40
Speaker 4: sunday and we got three games On, sunday SO i
51:44
Speaker 4: had to say, this you're pretty much just parking yourself
51:47
Speaker 4: on the couch for the full. Day you ain't gonna be.
51:49
Speaker 4: Moving start off in the noon window ON, Cbs so,
51:55
Speaker 4: yeah you don't have to have the paramount plus. Subscription
51:58
Speaker 4: buffalo travels to Do Fall county to Play, jacksonville.
52:06
Speaker 5: And again they're they're the. Favorite they.
52:08
Speaker 4: Are they are the favorite by just a, point by
52:12
Speaker 4: a point and a. HALF i will say, this as
52:15
Speaker 4: as good As Josh allen has been this, season That
52:19
Speaker 4: buffalo defense. STINKS i mean They but for for those who,
52:27
Speaker 4: remember especially the glory days of The, Cowboys buffalo is
52:31
Speaker 4: infamous for one. Thing four straight h and four in
52:35
Speaker 4: The Super. Bowl four Straight Super, bowls four straight. Losses this,
52:39
Speaker 4: year you don't Have Kansas city And Patrick, mahomes you
52:42
Speaker 4: don't Have baltimore And Lamar. Jackson you, are by all
52:46
Speaker 4: accounts the, air the air. Apparent AND i hate to say,
52:53
Speaker 4: It jacksonville may be able to pull this off Because
52:57
Speaker 4: Trevor lawrence is actually playing really good and That jacksonville
53:01
Speaker 4: defense may give This buffalo offense a lot of. Trouble
53:04
Speaker 4: so it's gonna be interesting to see what happens. There
53:07
Speaker 4: get to the mid the mid, day the three point
53:10
Speaker 4: thirty On, fox the forty Nine ers Play, philadelphia go
53:15
Speaker 4: To philly to Play. Philadelphia forty Nine ers at times
53:20
Speaker 4: have looked incredible and then at other, times because of,
53:24
Speaker 4: injuries just have not been able to put. Together philly
53:29
Speaker 4: looked like they were going to be, dominant but they've
53:30
Speaker 4: dropped some questionable games this. Year and then finally get
53:36
Speaker 4: To Sunday, night ON nbc and if you have Your
53:39
Speaker 4: Peace crock, Subscription La chargers Against New. ENGLAND i don't
53:43
Speaker 4: think this the line is three and a, half BUT
53:46
Speaker 4: i firmly Believe New New england will roll on. This
53:49
Speaker 4: and so then we get to The monday night, Game
53:52
Speaker 4: houston Against. Pittsburgh what are we thinking on? This because
53:58
Speaker 4: This houston, DEFENSE i would dare say is probably one
54:00
Speaker 4: of the best in all of THE nfl this. Year
54:03
Speaker 4: but you just aren't confident in That houston offense from
54:07
Speaker 4: game to game.
54:08
Speaker 5: Right, exactly and going Into, pittsburgh like we talked about it,
54:13
Speaker 5: Earlier tomlin may be playing for his job in this.
54:17
Speaker 4: Game you know THAT i firmly believe he is because
54:19
Speaker 4: if you saw him at the end of the last,
54:21
Speaker 4: GAME i, mean he's shrugging his shoulders at that missfield,
54:23
Speaker 4: Goal so.
54:23
Speaker 5: You know he's he's this is he's in survival. Mode
54:27
Speaker 5: SO i think he's gonna coach him. Up as a
54:31
Speaker 5: as a lifelong Diehard cowboys, fan you know At, pittsburgh
54:36
Speaker 5: you know you never want to go Play pittsburgh in your.
54:38
Speaker 5: House the visions of the terrible towels and all, that
54:43
Speaker 5: that's gonna be a that's gonna be a tough game For.
54:45
Speaker 5: HOUSTON i know they're favored by, three BUT I i
54:49
Speaker 5: JUST i think that game is gonna be a lot
54:51
Speaker 5: harder For houston than than Most texans fans are gonna.
54:56
Speaker 4: WANT i WOULD i would agree with. That If houston
54:58
