• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Chris Batchelder, Coach Chris Rivard, Nighthawk with you. Hard to
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: believe this is the sixth of 11 scheduled regular season
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Tailgate Talk, so we are technically more than Halfway done
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: with this menagerie. Hominy, Pawhuska, Barnsdall, Dewey, Copan, Nowata, Caney Valley,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Kansas all got wins last week. More district action for
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the most part across the area this weekend. Caney Valley,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Ramona is really our only area team that's on a bye.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And I know we continue to talk about this, guys,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: but before we get into the individual games, Barnsdall is undefeated.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. The stashes.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Bahaska is undefeated.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Caney Valley, Kansas is undefeated. Shocker. Dewey is 3-1. Bartlesville
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: is 3-1. Copan is undefeated. Caney Valley, Ramona has two wins.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Nowata has two wins. Now Oklahoma Union is winless. But
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty good start. That's about as good of
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a start as we've had, I mean, maybe by many games.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: And Wesleyan is unbeaten.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Wesleyan is unbeaten.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: They are undefeated.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: That's a fact. And I was undefeated last week as well.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Not you two. Can we start by saying.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Guten tag, Nighthawk. Guten tag. Guten tag. I've been waiting
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: a week to tell Nighthawk that. Danku.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Danku.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Danku. Danku.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I'm just glad to have my feet back.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: On American soil.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I bet you are.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Air Nighthawk.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Hey, can I say something real quick?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: You know, last week we were talking about mascots. I
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: am not very smart because afterwards I put it in
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: chat GPT. What should my mascot be? And no one
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: said it in here.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Nighthawk. Of course.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: It shows a hawk. Of course. I'm like, you are
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: so smart. Nighthawk, Nighthawk. It said, you should, since you
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: reference yourself as Nighthawk, you should be a hawk. It
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: showed a big... And I'm like, oh.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: By the way, we can add Craig's Chat GPT as
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: another dedicated listener.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: And Rev, you switched the chair on me and I
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: don't appreciate it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I saw him almost go over.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I don't appreciate it. I did. You know my core
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: strength is not very good. I wanted you to.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Feel my weekly misery.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I had it all the last two years.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Now you can start complaining to Potter when he comes
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: walking in that door and start telling him.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: We'll switch it up.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Very good football. All of the local schools are just having,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: you know, exactly what you said, Evan. It's got to
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: be one of the best years. Yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: It's been a lot of fun.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I can't remember.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Don't forget there's another undefeated team.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: That's true, yeah.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: But anyway, yeah, they're playing well. They're playing well, all
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: of them.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Well, let's go ahead and hop into them. Again, Caney
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Valley Ramones on a bye this week. Everyone else plays.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Caney Valley, Kansas, they'll have their toughest game to date.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: They're at Neodoshay. Bullpups 4-0, beat Baxter Springs last week 64-26.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Game was a little closer than maybe you'd think by
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: looking at the score. Caney actually trailed for the first time, 8-7,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and it was right before halftime, 21-19 Caney Valley. Bullpups
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: attacked on a late touchdown in the second quarter after
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: a good kick return and subsequent 42-yard pass to Drake Roberts.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Bullpups then would outscore Baxter Springs 28-0 in the third
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: quarter to grab the win. Chase Buckley, Roberts combined for
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: seven of Caney's nine touchdowns. Nyota Shea, a big and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a tough one for them. Blue Streaks are 4-0. Nyota Shea,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: they've outscored their opponents 192-28, so pretty similar to what
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Caney has done as well. They've got one common opponent
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: in Eureka. Nyota Shea beat them 61-0. Caney won that
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: game 58-0. Bullpups, though, have won 10 in a row
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: in this series. Every meeting from 2016 through 2025, Nyota
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Shea's last win over Caney was in 2015. Caney Valley
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: has won 17 of the last 18. Last year's game
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: was a 22-6 Caney win and the closest of the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: current 10-game winning streak for the Bullpups. Caney Valley, Kansas
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: at Neodoshay in the blue streaks. Two 4-0 teams. Someone
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: going to get their first loss of the year.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Man, it sounds like the halftime speech during the game
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Friday night must have been really, really strong. I'm not
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: great with math, but that looks to me like it
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: was 43-7 in the second half.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe that's right.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So I would have loved to have been in there
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: I know it's on the road. I know it'll be
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: a test, but I got bullpups all the way. They're
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: post-season form right now.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Well, we talk about Coach all the time up there
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: about how good a coach he is, and that's exactly
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: what happened at halftime. They made some great adjustments. I
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: don't know what happened. I'm sure there was– fiery speech, whatever,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: but 27, nothing in the third, third quarter. God, you
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: talk about some adjustments that really worked. Um, yeah, I
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: think this is going to be a really good class, uh,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Friday night. It's at Neil to Shay. I mean, if
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: you look at the common opponents, gosh, I mean, you're
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: almost looking at, you know, at each other in a mirror.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: But I am also going to Canyon Valley. But I
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: think it's going to be a great game. I think
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a seven-point game. It's going to
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: come down to the wire. It's going to come back
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: to turnovers. But going to Canyon Valley.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: You know, I hope this isn't a season that teams
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: in the state of Kansas are either really good or
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: they're really bad. And that's like it appears both these
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: teams have played, teams who are not very good at all.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And now they're going to play each other. So, we
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: really don't know how good the Caney is. I mean,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I think they're really good. I mean, geez, looking at
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: their score, it's unbelievable. It's the same thing for Notre Dame.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to take Caney Valley because they beat
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: them the last 10 straight years in a row.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. 17 out of the last 18.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I know it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I know it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: So, I've got the bullpups.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah. They've got to be in different– are they in
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: different classes?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: No, they're in the same class.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Because they both have had very good programs. And for
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: that to be so one-sided, 22-6 was the closest out
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: of the last 18 times they played. But, you know.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I'll mention, in reference to what Coach Revard mentioned, Humboldt
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: is 3-1 with that 144-0 loss to Caney.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: They won every other game. They were 2-0 when they
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: beat them. They beat Fredonia last week 30-8.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: But that's the only one.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is the only one.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: All right, everyone takes the bullpups. Good luck to them
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: in Neodoshay. South Coffeyville and Oylton. Lions dropped to 1-3
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: and 0-1 in Class C District 3 with a 44-6
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: loss to Covington Douglas last week. Oylton is 0-4. Panthers
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: lost to Crossover Prep last week 32-0. Other Oylton losses
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to Yale, Bowlegs, Kremlin-Hillsdale, and Crossover Prep combined 189-0. to 36.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Oylton High School is playing football for the first time
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: in 34 years. They've not had a football team in
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: 34 years.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I would have lost that one. It seems like I've
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: heard about them in football before.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: First time in 34, I was reading an article in
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the Oklahoma about it. South Coffeyville, obviously they've been outscored
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: 156-86 in their ballgames. They're 1-3. Both teams are looking
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: to get to 1-1. in Class C, District 3. That
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: is Oylton at, sorry, South Coffeyville at home against Oylton.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you said Covington-Douglas, but you could have said Cove, Doug.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: All the listeners know what that means.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Chi-town and S-town.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Can I just say, if you were an alien, okay,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: and you had never experienced Oklahoma football or Oklahoma towns before,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: and you heard the sentence, Yale, bow legs, Kremlin Hills,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Hillsdale and crossover prep. That is an absolute summary of
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: everything about Oklahoma high school football. He just named kind
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: of the cross section of everyone.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I have to be sitting there going, what kind of
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: language is this? Exactly.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Um, it's South Coffinville here.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Uh, I, I think they're better than their record and, um,
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: they've just been at it a little longer.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And so I'm taking them.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: That's a good football.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Do you guys know where Oylton is?
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Isn't Oylton over by Drumwright?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: So do you know something about Oylton football? You looked surprised.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Do you remember them playing?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: No, no, I don't. I just drive through there occasionally.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know about it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Why else would we hear about Oylton?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Right. You know about it, and you figure they play football.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Central part of the state, right?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Cushing.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Drumwright, Cushing.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, east of Stillwater.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Batch, I will say that was a good aim.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I can imagine Troy Aikman before the game.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: You know what, guys? They've just been at it a
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: little longer. Like the Steelers playing Jacksonville or something, you know,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: one of the expansion teams. Guys, they've just been at it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: it longer. That's good analysis. Just math.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: You know, Batch, I think you said something. You said
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that South Coffeyville is better than what their record. I agree.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I think they are. I think they've played some tough opponents.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And I definitely agree with you. And I got South
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Coffeyville all the way.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I guess you're just going to cut right in front
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: of me.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I thought you were done. I figured you wanted to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: listen to my picks.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: That is true.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: So I was undefeated.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: That's a fact. I guess you're counting. I'm also going
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: South Coffeyville, and I agree with you guys. So that's
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: about all I'm going to add to there at this point.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: What else can you add?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they line up better.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Little Johnny's the best kicker.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: It was only one game.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I don't remember what game you and I picked different
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: from him, but it was only one.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: How do you guys not remember that?
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: But I knew that. I was trying to go with
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: the Cinderella story. I knew that running back for no
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: water would have a big name.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: He probably didn't even play. He did.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 6A1 running back coming down and playing.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: That actually wasn't even him. It's the other guy that
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: had five touchdowns.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: We'll get to it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get to it. So everyone take South Coffeyville.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Good luck against Oylton. Good luck to Oylton getting football back.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: That's a cool story. That is a cool story. It
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: was behind a paywall, and I couldn't read the entire thing,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: but I was reading about it a little bit in
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: some other publications. That's a cool story.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Is it the Oilton Oilers?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: No, I think I might.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Did you have it on here?
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: The Panthers, yeah.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Panthers. What a horrible mascot for Oilton.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think that they would have something better.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: The Oilton Panthers. Or the Owls or something. Derrick's or
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: something else.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: All right, Oklahoma Union at home against Fairland. Cougars dropped
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: to 0-4 and had their first district loss on Thursday
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: night of last week at Woodland, 63-8. Head coach Josh
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Middleton seemed positive, said they're slowly fixing some things. They
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: turned the ball over less, but had some big busts
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: on plays that caused them issues during that loss in Fairfax. Now,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Fairland just took unbeaten Barnsdall to overtime. Shocker. And a
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: 15-13 Barnsdall win last week. Owls are 1-3. One Fairland
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: win was over Holbert and two overtimes. Bahaska also owns
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: that win over Fairland on zero week. Oklahoma Union, 11-10
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: against the Fairland Owls in 21 previous matchups since 1999,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: including four in a row in In the series from
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: 2018 to 2021, the last Fairland win in that 21
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: matchups was in 2017. In total, Cougars have won six
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: of the last eight in the series dating back to 2014.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma Union at home against Fairland in Class A2 District 4.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Man, those guys know how hard we're rooting for them
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: to get this win. I just want them to get
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: off the schneid so bad, but I don't think it's
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: going to be this week. I'm glad it's at home.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: That gives them the best shot. Wouldn't be surprised if
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: it was homecoming and all that kind of stuff. But,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: you know, I think Fairland's just better. I think they're
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: going to win.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not homecoming. Their homecoming, I believe, was last week.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was two weeks ago.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Two weeks ago.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Yep. So it's not homecoming for them. So just because
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it's not homecoming, I'm going to take the Fairland house.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Yep. I'm also going to take Fairland. That game, I
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: know we'll talk about it here in a little bit,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: but I was shocked by that game. Double overtime versus Barnesville,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: which is a great, I mean, we all agree that
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: it's playing really good right now. But, yeah, Oklahoma Union
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: is going to have to wait another week before it
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: gets its first win.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: All right, everyone takes the Fairland Owls. Copan still in
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the non-district portion of its schedule. They'll go to Kremlin-Hillsdale
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: on Friday. Copan is 5-0, beat Yale 40-8. Got a
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: 21-0 lead really quickly. Touchdown drive, scoop and score. Got
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: an interception that then led to a touchdown. Then got
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: a couple TDs again late in that ballgame to get
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: that 32-point winning margin. Raiden Martin, two more rushing touchdowns,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: 175 yards on the ground. Tritton Kallenberger really shouted out
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Ashton Jeffers, who moved from tight end to center this
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: week after Copan had some personnel issues. They also added
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: a kicking unit for the first time. Jonah Hahn and
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Reed Hawkins, that's the kicker and holder respectively, guys that
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: have teamed up to kick, and they went 4-6 on PATs.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Also mentioned Gavin Barnes as a defensive standout with 14 tackles.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: So Copan, 5-0, a best start since that 2008 team
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: went 9-0 to begin the year. Quimlin Hillsdale is 2-2
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: at the Bronx, got a win over Winoka.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: 44-22.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: And Oylton, 67-16. Their losses are to Davenport and Medford. Again,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: about a two and a half hour road trip. No
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: real recent history between these two schools, Copan and Kremlin-Hillsdale.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Don't love the road trip again, Nighthawk, your theory, but
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: I'm taking them. I just, I think they're another team
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: that's just absolutely in another.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Gear right now. And when you've got all of your.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Offensive pieces playing well and then you add all of
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: all these great defensive plays um they're dialed in so
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: yeah i got them even on.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: The road at crimlin north of enid yeah copan obviously
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: playing really well right now i'm not concerned with the
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: road road trip you know they're a veteran team veteran
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: coach obviously he's got him dialed in um and Evan,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad because your note said fumble return. So
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you said scoop and score.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, good.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: That's more of the football, you know, insider terminology. Your
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: vocabulary is getting much better. Because I was sitting here
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: reading it with you. I'm like, don't say fumble return.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: It's scoop and score, scoop and score.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: You're doing great, Evan. Yeah, I appreciate that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Copan, obviously Coach Kallenberger's got him rolling up there.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: I really want to get up there at some point
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: and watch them play this year. So maybe I think
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: next week Barzell's out of town, so I might try
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: to make a trip up there. It's just that time
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: of year to where you've got to go out on
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Friday evenings. Copan?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: They're in a six-team district here, is that right?
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's actually now a five-team district because
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Wesleyan dropped.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, geez.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: They're almost like 6A. You can almost go 0-10 and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Before even playing a game. 6-8-2.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: 6-8-2.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Well, 6-8-1-2, actually.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Before even playing a game. Yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Still make the playoffs.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, without Wesley and Christian, the only district mates Copan has, Depew,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Pine Creek, Hunter, Welch, and Cave Springs.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Well, so I guess they'll start district play next week then. Yeah.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Right, okay. And who do they play?
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not 100% sure.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Well, guys, Copan's playing very well right now. Yeah. I mean,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: they're not tripping up. I mean, we just sat here
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and talked about some of these schools, and we talked
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: about Caney, Kansas, how they tripped up there in the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: first half.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Depew.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Depew, thank you.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: And so they tripped up a little bit at half,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: had to get a little do-better speech or maybe turn
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the ball over. I don't know what happened in the
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: first half, but Copan hasn't done that. And so that's
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: what's interesting about this football team. Like you said, they
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: are a veteran football team for the most part, and
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: then they also got these young kids that they're mixing in.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: remember they got 25 kids 20 some kids 23 24
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: yeah I mean that's gotta be the most they've had
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in years I mean it wasn't all that many years
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: ago we're talking about them consolidating and do they have
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: enough and where they're trying to talk a few more
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: out and.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: So they go up for two years in a row.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah look what the old coaches got out so congratulations
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to them I see no problems with them going to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Kremlin Hillsdale and winning this game at all I mean
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna go in there and roll um Now,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: maybe it's a test for them a little bit on
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the road and early, which will be good for them.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: They need that, and I hope they're pounding that in
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the kids' head, you know, that, hey, we need to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: start fast. Jump out, start fast, let's go. Let's get
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: it going. And then once they settle in, they'll continue
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to blow out Kremlin. So I look for a big
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: win by the Hornets.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: All right, good luck to Copan at Kremlin-Hellsdale, their final
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: non-district game. on Friday night. Interesting Osage County matchup. Barnsdall
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: at home against Woodland. This is our game on 100.1 KYFM,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: our game of the week. K1TV. com in Barnsdall on Friday night.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Class A2 District 4 game. Barnsdall 4-0 overall, 1-0 in
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: A2-4 after that overtime win over Fairland. that we just
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: talked about, 15-13. Game was back and forth throughout the evening.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Woodland Cougars just got their first win of the season.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: We mentioned that earlier, that Thursday night win over Oklahoma Union, 63-8.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Woodlands won the last two matchups in this series pretty
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: handily since Barnstall got back to 11-man football, beat the
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Panthers 62-15 in 2024. Of course, that was their state
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: championship team, then 50-0 last year. Barnstall had won three
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: of the previous four in the matchup from 2016 to 2019. Overall, though,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Woodland leads the series 14-5 since 1999. Barnes-Dolph 4-0 for
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: the first time since 2023 and the fourth time in
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the past 11 seasons that Kylie Sweeney has been there.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: As we've talked about, Woodland two years removed from that
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: undefeated state championship season, but much younger and now 1-3.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: under eighth-year head coach Casey Goad. Ty goes over to
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: talk to Kylie Sweeney on Wednesdays. That's when we record this,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: so I've not heard. from him on exactly the story
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: behind that Fairfax ballgame other than just score watching. It
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: was obviously low scoring and close throughout.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: A couple things.
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Just for your calendar, Nighthawk, next week the Bruins are
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: hosting Sand Springs. in not only a really important football game,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: but it's also Cancer Awareness Night with the pink jerseys,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: which I've seen, which are really cool. But don't plan
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: to go to Copan that night. Another thing is that
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: I'm taking the stashes all the way here. I think
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: they're going to absolutely roll Woodland.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Tell you, they've got some payback coming because.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Woodland has whooped them.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: The last couple of years. So they are going to
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: be pedal to the metal here. They're already playing really
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: well anyway. And I think the coaches have talked about
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: it over the years, but I think they got their
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: scare last week. And so I think they'll get, I
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: think there'll be more than ready for this game.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: And, and I'm taking them stashes big.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Surprising on that game. I'm also going to go Barnsdale,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: and I also think that they're going to be a
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: little extra motivated for the last couple years of what
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Woodland has done to them, you know, 50-0 and 62-15.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: I am curious. I mean, and I take that to
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: make sure that I'll be curious of what happened last week, right?
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think we all agree that they were
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: the better team last week, and for that score to
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: go to double overtime was just shocking. So hopefully no
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: one got injured. nothing of that. It was just a,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: you know, a thing that they can get cleaned up.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Maybe they had turnovers, whether it was interceptions or fumbles,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: or it was just, you know, maybe they were looking ahead,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: to be honest with you. So yeah, they kind of
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: got their scare last week, but I think they come
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: out and absolutely exercise a little bit of repayment to
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Woodland this week.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Exercise repayment. They were going to do that. That's a
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: nice way. It was. That is a nice way.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I will mention the only thing I didn't mention that
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: we knew beforehand is Barnsdall did not have Gavin Wood,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: their starting quarterback, in the first half. I'm not sure
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: if he played in the second half. He was ejected
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: from the game prior. So he did not. At least
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: they were without him for half the game. And I
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: know listening to what Kylie Sweeney had to say pregame,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: he wasn't. sure if he was going to play at all, obviously,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: within the program. He said they were just going to
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: fill it out.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Well, there's your problem. We'll see what Lonnie Tye has
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: to say. There it is. Guys, I'm going to disagree
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: with you here. They're not going to blow Woodland out.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: It's not going to happen. This is going to be
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: a really good game. Coach Goad's been there a long time.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: He's won a state championship there. He knows how to coach.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: He knows how to coach young kids. He does have
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: a young football team. Young football teams get better as
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: the year progresses here. And, you know, Woodland's also walking
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: in with confidence, too. You know, they have flogged on Barnstall.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: So I think Barnstall wins in a close game, another
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: close one, but I do not think it's going to
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: be a blowout at all.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be 14, 21 points is
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: my blowout, not 50 to nothing. Yeah, yeah.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I think it's more in line with a seven-point game.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Okay. Okay. All right.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: All right, so Barnsdall-Woodland should be a good one again. 100.1 KYFM,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: video coverage, K1TV. com on Friday night in Barnsdall. Bahuska and
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Morrison at the beach on Friday night. Sports Talk, 99.1 FM, KPGM, KPGMTV.com.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Lonnie Tai Loftus on the call. It's Class A1 District
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: 3 ballgame. Bahuska 1-0 in A1-3 after a 30-0 win
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: At Colcord, second shutout of the year. Jimmy Wildcat scored early.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: 50-yard run. Jaden Spicer got a 69-yard quarterback keeper. Could
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: have scored a couple more, but Bohuska lost a fumble
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: and had a turnover on downs inside the Colcord red zone.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: More to send is 3-2. Wildcats coming off a 48-13
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: win over Commerce to get to 1-0 in A1-3 last
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: week as well. But Huska had to have a 10-point
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: comeback against Morrison last year to grab that two seed
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: in the district. Morrison's losses are to Dibble and Sperry.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Their wins over Commerce, Perry, and Woodland. By the way,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Woodland is their one common opponent. Morrison beat Woodland 28-14.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: But Huska beat them 57-20. But Huska's 3-3 against Morrison
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: in six recent matchups since 2016. Huskies, though, have won
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: the last three, including that 30-20 win last year. and
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: 42-12 in 2024. Head coach Hayden Gerringer, second full season,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: took over as interim head coach during 2024 and got
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: the permanent job after that. He's a Morrison guy, was
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: part of four state championships as a player there. They're
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: coming off a 5-6 season and a playoff appearance, and
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: at 5-6 in the playoffs, they actually led Rejoice Christian
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: at halftime in the first round before losing that ballgame
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: 48-20 and falling to the eventual state champion. Pawhuska at
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: home against Mortison on KPGM and KPGMTV.com in Class A1,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: District 3.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Rejoice is who beat out Pawhuska last year, right?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: That's correct. And you win. Oh, yeah.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: That was a big game. I've got Pawhuska here. It'll
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: be a good game. I think it'll be.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: A test.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: And at this point in the season... Both of these
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: teams appear to be clicking into form. But I just
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: think Pawhuska is just enough better and at home.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Got him. Yeah. Boy, talk about a ball game. I
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: think this is going to be one of the, if
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: not the best game to watch next week or this Friday. Yeah,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Pawhuska at home. They're both playing well. Morrison's got the
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: strong tradition. Boy, this is going to be a Friday
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: night smash football game, I think. I think it's going
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: to come down to turnovers. Obviously, I know that sounds
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: so stereotypical. Everyone says turnovers, but 100%.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Got to win all three phases.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, exactly. But it is going to be
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: who can make the least amount of mistakes and also
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: try to minimize the big plays. But, yeah, I'm going
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Husky here. It's going to be a tight one. It's
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: going to come down to the fourth quarter.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Evan, sometime when you're bored, do a little research for me. Okay.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: See if Morrison ever won a state championship in 11-man.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I know they won multiple with Dennis Casey in 8-man,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: but I don't know if they've won them in 11-man. Yeah,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: when did they switch over? Dennis Casey won all his
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: in 8-man. Oh, man, they got a lot of trophies.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: They were winning every year. So we'll try to get
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: that by the end of the show. Heaven's over there
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: punching it right now. But, guys, I would think this
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: would be a– a really close game and may even
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: take Morrison if it was at Morrison, but playing at
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the beach is tough. We've all been to games there.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough. They, they'll bring a crowd.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: They're loud.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they are loud. And then they got the student
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: section there on the South end. I mean, it's, it's fun.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: It's a fun place to go watch a game. So
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I enjoy it. And I just don't think that it's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: going to be as close as probably what you guys
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: think it is. I think this is your, uh, 14,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: 17 point game.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Um, and, and, Like I said, Pawhuska's playing well. Coach
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: has got them going. It sounds like they're staying healthy,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: which is big. So I think they win this one easy.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Morrison has two losses.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: You would not have taken Morrison if it was at Morrison.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Pawhuska's the better team. You've got one to Sperry, guys,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: and Sperry's young this year. And I know Sperry is
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Class 2A.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: But, ooh. Mm-hmm.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: You know, they're a young team this year. But we
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: didn't talk about the Osprey Pirates. Coach Barkey got them
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: going over there.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, I believe 08 is their only 11-man state championship.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: That was their first season in 08.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: That was their first season in 11-man?
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. They were in Class B prior to 2008.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: They won a Class A state title over O'Keen in 2008,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: beat Afton, Stroud, Christian Heritage, and Hennessy en route to that.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: And they had won a whole bunch before that in
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Class B.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Evan.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: So, Pahuskin-Morrison should be a good ballgame. Lonnie Ty Loftus

  Speaker 2: and Blackwell, Class 2A1, District 1 matchup. That is our
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: game of the week on KRIG 104.9, KRIGTV.com. Dewey is
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: 3-1 after that big win over Crooked Oak last week.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Bulldoggers beat the Roughnecks 27-21. Dewey led 14-6 in the
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter, held on to win by that single score.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Braxton Braden threw for two touchdowns, ran for one more
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: at about 200 all-purpose yards, 48 on the ground. Kavery
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Weathers also had an interception in that game. So Dewey
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: is 3-1 and 1-0 in 2-1-1. Blackwell is 1-3. The
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Maroons fell to Casha Hall last week in their tough
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: district opener, 49-7. They also have losses to Watonga and Newkirk.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: 7-0 and 26-0. Their lone win was over Kellyville, 30-12.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: And that win over the Ponies snapped a long losing
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: skid as Blackwell was coming off an 0-10 season a
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: year in go. So that was their first win in
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: a couple of years. First year direction under Chad Slane.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: They made a coaching change following that 0-10 2025 season.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Dewey 7-1 against Blackwell in eight meetings since 2006. Bulldoggers
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: lost in 06, then had won the next seven meetings
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: in seven consecutive years from 2007 until 2013. Dewey and
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Blackwell on KRig 104.9, KRigTV.com in 2A1 District 1. God,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: who was that?
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Idiot coaching at Dewey for that one loss.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: No kidding.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: God, perfect record.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: What in the world?
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: What an idiot.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Idiot. I tell you, it was at their place sitting
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: right here.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Do you remember?
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. They had Frank Marsland. I'm going to tell you.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you about it. Frank Marsland, and goodness gracious,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I can't remember the head coach there, but we used
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: to send his pictures. I wish Coach Dillbeck was in here.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: He ended up at Holbert over there. Frank Marsland and
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the head coach at Blackwood at that time, They were
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: at Locust Grove together. Frank Marsland had a boy that
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: played quarterback at five different schools, high schools in four years.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: No way. That's right. That's right.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: And you know what?
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: We beat him at three of the four places, and
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the only place we lost to him was Blackwell.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: What an idiot.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: What even more.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Anyways, so, yeah, they all went to Blackwell. He moved
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: his son from Locust, which they were successful at Locust.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Moot transferred him over to Blackwell with his offensive coordinator.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: He gets a head coaching job over there. It's going
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: to drive me nuts what the guy's name is. But anyways,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: they beat us. And I remember sitting there. Their field's dark.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: It's crap. You know, it's a WPA field. It's just
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: not nice. And I remember just like, oh, boy. I'm
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: never going to hear the end of this one.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Nope. I'm still hearing it today. 20 years later.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Go ahead, Matt.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: No, all I was going to say was– I am
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: so excited for Dewey football. We've been talking about it
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: in here for so long. And I remember when Coach
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Sepulpa got this job and both of you guys said,
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you right now, keep an eye on Dewey
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: because he is going to make them better.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: He's a good coach. Nighthawk talks all the time.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: About getting the taste for winning. And it feels like
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Dewey has done that now and is.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Starting to figure it out.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: And not only do I think they're going to win
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: this game, I think they're going to win big.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to go to 4-1.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: And I would love to know the last time that happened, Evan.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: And they are– it's okay. But it's been a long
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: time is what I'm saying.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: And we all agree and know that. This is really exciting.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: And we've talked and talked about Washington County and how
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: great all the football is. And the Bruins– under Coach
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Hennessey have been a great story, and the turnaround here
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: has been great. But this story in Dewey has gone underreported,
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: and it's a big deal.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: And I hope that the.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Community really supports this football team because they deserve it,
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: and they are really playing well.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I'm excited.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: I got Dewey all the way. Yeah, Batch, along those
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: lines with Coach Sepulpa and the staff and what they're
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: doing up there, you can look at the games, you know,
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: look at game one that they dropped to how they
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: looked last week, and it's just a completely different– I mean,
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: you know, I look at the little things, like a
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: lot of coaches when they watch. You know, I look
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: at the offensive lines, really their first steps, and how
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: are they– you know, are they taking a 45? Is
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: it a flat step? Is it power? I mean– And
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: is it a power step? So all those little fundamentals
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: that really make things happen, um, mesh points between quarterbacks
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: and running backs and route running and blocking and all that.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: And if you look at week one compared to where
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: they are now, it's, it's not even the same team.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. Um, so that tells me, you know, just
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: a great coach, uh, great staff and the kids are
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: buying in the kids, you know, buying in and believing
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: in yourself. I'm telling you, it goes a long way. Uh,
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Football is a physical game. It's a physicality game. It's physical,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: but it's also mental. And when you get a bunch,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: if you get a locker room, start believing in themselves
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: and going out and buying into what the coach is selling. Boy,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: that's a good recipe to win a bunch of ballgames.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: But I'll take them this week four and one. And gosh,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: it's going to be great to see once they get
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: into their tough part of the schedule, which is coming
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: up on the back half. It's, you know, it's going
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: to be a great match, some great matchups to watch.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: But I'm going Dewey this week.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Hey, y'all, I need to first thank Coach Spalpa for
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: confirming the scoreboard.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, how about that? Yeah, still has the doors
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: That was unbelievable. Thank you, Coach Spalpa.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: It looked exactly how I pictured it. It did.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: I agree with you, Evan.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, man, that's exactly what I pictured.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Exactly what I thought it was going to look like. Yeah.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Been like that for years, guys. So the interesting thing
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: about the Bulldoggers this year is they can play some defense, guys.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: They're hardly giving up any points. You know, every week. And,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I was following this game. You know, I
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: was going. Then they, you know, tied up. And I'm going, oh, boy,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: what's going on here? And then Coach Sepulpa, he confirmed
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: my thoughts. A lot of times when you go places
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: like that, I never blame it on officials, but when
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: you go places like that, the officiating can be not–
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: it can be a challenge. And I talked to Coach Sepulpa,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: and he said it was. But that's okay. They went
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: into an unfamiliar place. and won a football game, won
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a district game, which is more importantly. All right, now
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: they're going to play Blackwell, guys. You know, I just
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: talked about the Bulldogs' defense being pretty good. Well, Blackwell's
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: offense is not very good at all.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, aside from, you know, they scored 30 points
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: against the Kellyville Ponies, which the Kellyville Ponies is not
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: a good football team.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: What a terrible nickname.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Ponies.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Be the Stallions. Be something else.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: That's really bad.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Ponies.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: That's SMU. I mean, SMU. That's fun. They're the ponies.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: That's fun.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Not all bad.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: But we got Blackwell. Maroons is not a good mascot either.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: It isn't. So, hey, I'm coming to Bulldogger Stadium. All
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: respect to Drew Eyrich, Blackwell, one of Blackwell's finest.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: But, yeah.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: But they're Maroons. Well, they're coming into Bulldogger Stadium for homecoming.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: It's a big homecoming night. So, you know, I've got
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: the Bulldoggers all the way here at home. Another District win,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: huge for the Bulldoggers. Keep it rolling and, you know,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: gaining confidence. And we'll get more into the confidence stuff,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: what you talked about. I'd like to get more into
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: that later on in the show. But they're gaining that confidence,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: and that's big. Stay healthy.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Yep. All right.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Good luck to the Dewey Bulldoggers, by the way. This
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: is their first 4-1 start since 2019. Went 7-4 in 2019.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: They lost their season opener in 19 against Adair. Then
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: got wins over Nowata, Bonita, Victory, and Haskell.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: You know, the Perry is also the Maroons, and they're
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: not far from black.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: No, they're right there by each other.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: What is a Maroon? Here we go. Well, it looks
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: like a Crusader holding up a sword. Blackwell's does.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Now, Perry's, I think, is something different. They just make
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: stuff up, guys. That's what I think. Yeah, I agree
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: with that. Yeah.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: All right, good luck to Dewey. K-Rig 104.9, krigtv.com against Blackwell.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: And that is homecoming for the Bulldoggers. Also homecoming over
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: in Nowata. Ironman at home against Summit Christian. This is
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Nowata's district opener in Class A13. Nowata improved 2-2. They
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: flogged Caney Valley last week, 48-0. I put that in
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: there just for Coach Rewards.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: I know, flogging.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Saxton scored five touchdowns in that game. Ironman defense
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: held Caney Valley to 69 yards of offense. Game not
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: really in doubt from midway through the second quarter on.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Adrian O'Dell, one pass, it was a 27-yard touchdown to
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Caleb Coleman. Other than that, it was all runs. Fourth
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: time since 2015, no one has been 2-2 or better
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: through their first four games. Summit Christian, their opponent Friday night, 1-3.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Eagles lost their opener in Class A-1-3 last week to Pawnee, 64-13.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Summit Christian just moved up to 11-man football two years ago,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: third season back in 11-man. They've gone 4-16, believe 2-8
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: each of the last two seasons in the 11-man ranks.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: No recent history in this matchup. Nowata Summit Christian, Class A1,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: District 3 opener for the Ironmen.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I got Ironmen.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: I think they're better. I think it's at home. And
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: they really, I got to, you know, right is right,
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: wrong is wrong. And I got to give credit to
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: Coach Rivard for using his head and not his heart
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: like me and Nighthawk.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: That's a great statement.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: And so, I think know what is better. They're going
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: to win this game because they're better. They're playing well,
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: and they really shocked me last week. I thought it
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: would be closer. But, yeah, so I got to support them.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: I was hoping it would be a closer game. You know,
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: my heart said Kenny Valley, but to be honest– I
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: kind of love their story right now, winning a couple
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: of games. So kind of got on that wave. But yeah,
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: I am know what is a better football team. They're
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: playing well. And I think Summit Christian and it's at
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: know what. And so got to go Ironman here.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got to know what Ironman here. Summit Christian, though,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: will be a really good football team here in a
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: couple years. They were a good eight-man football team. You
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: guys ever been to Summit Christian?
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: I have not. Don't even know where it's at.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: 91st and Memorial.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Memorial.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a neat place. I thought you called
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: a game there.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a Barnsdall game there. Yeah, you did.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I did, yeah.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: You got to walk over a little bridge.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: To get to the– Oh, yeah, you talked about it.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: They've got a beautiful turf football field.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: They flogged Barnsdall 50 to nothing at halftime.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: It was a flogging for sure.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Well, they're going to get flogged Friday night. They're not
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: coming into a turf football field with no track around
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: or nothing. There's a fence around there. If you're not careful,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: you'll run a player right into that fence too.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: So– Yeah, I've got the Ironman.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Well, it's at no water anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: That was a nice facility, though.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, we don't need to talk about their facility, really.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: It's just normal conversation. Hey, I want to say something.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Claremore Christian's facility.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: We should.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: We've talked this season about Coach Martin coming over from
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: northwestern Oklahoma State with some of that collegiate experience, and
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: As we're talking about these area coaches kind of turning
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: programs around, I think he's.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Doing a really good job.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: I think Nowata has traditionally, for whatever reason, kind of
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: been a tough place to coach recently, and he's doing great.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, they have such a good program. If
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: you go back the last 30, 40 years, they've always
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: had these spurts of really good football teams. So, yeah,
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Coach is doing a really good job over there.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, I've got to tell you a story about Northwestern
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: football here real quick. Is this going to be about
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: old Coach Dillbeck?
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: No, it's not.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Okay. So I stayed last Friday night at the Embassy
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Suites in Norman because the Bruins were playing, my daughter's
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: playing volleyball. In Moore.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: In Moore, at a volleyball tournament.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: So I stayed there. So I'm checking in, and here
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: comes Northwestern's football team.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: They come walking in, and their coaches come walking in.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: So one of their coaches stopped, and we start talking.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: And we were talking about their game last week, had
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: a big lightning delay. It was like a two- or
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: three-hour lightning delay. And we're talking about that. And I said, well,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: who do you guys play this week? And he goes,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And he's the running back's coach. And
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: he looks at one of the players and he goes, hey,
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: who do we play?
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: They said, East Central.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: How do you not know that? He legit didn't know?
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: He didn't know who they were playing.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: That's amazing.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: The running back's coach did not know who they were playing.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: He hasn't been studying film. What is going on here?
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: This is incredible.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I looked at Jimmer and I'm like. Did you hear
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: what just happened?
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Well, Coach, maybe it's one of those things. He truly
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: buys in. We're going to take it one week at
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: a time, one game.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: At a time, an hour at a time.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not worried about it.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: You even know what town you're– you think you're here
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: to play OU?
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: Well, I can tell you that staying in Norman to
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: play a game in Ada isn't exactly.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Normal, so he may not know.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Well, that's true.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: You're right. What's wrong with the hotels in Ada?
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: I've stayed at a hotel in Ada a couple times.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Let's not expound on that.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: For that Legion State Tournament.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: All right, last ballgame, Bartlesville and UConn. Friday night, homecoming,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Custer Stadium, Bruins 3-1 by week after that big 52-7
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: win over Enid. UConn, Millers are 5-0. They're coming off
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: a 37-18 win over previously undefeated Edmond Deer Creek.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: That's an impressive win. They've got two big wins this year.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got a win over Mustang earlier this year.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: They beat Putnam City 37-7, one-point win over Mustang. Beat
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Westmore 70-0, Edmond Santa Fe 42-20, then Deer Creek last
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: week on the road 37-17. And they've got a handful
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: of power forward Division I guys, including their quarterback. who
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: has played at high schools in Hawaii, California, Arizona, Alabama,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: and now Oklahoma. And he has offers from Oklahoma State, Arizona, Baylor,
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Iowa State, K-State. Already had a couple visits, I believe,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: with K-State. And Oklahoma State, they've got another defensive guy
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: who's a TCU commit defensive back.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's ranked nationally. He's considered the TCU. He's placed.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: And so– Most coaches in the state are saying he's
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: the best player in the state.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: And UConn has been a program that's been getting better
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: under Brett Barnes. They were 1-9 three years ago, then 3-7,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: then they were 6-6 last year. And you'd heard about
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: them getting some transfers and getting better. I don't know
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: if in July or August I would have thought this
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: was exactly what you were dealing with. I thought you
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: were talking about a better 6-1 program. You're talking about
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: probably the best 6-8-1 program on that side of the
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: state in the UConn Millers this fall.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Most of the.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Coaches that I've talked to have said that that win
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: over Mustang was eye-opening.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: The win over Deer Creek was, oh boy.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: And I want to add one thing that's not in
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: Evan's notes here that I think is potentially the thing
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: that's going to be most eye-opening for our listeners, which
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: is UConn, has a full-time NIL director. And his name
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: is Trent Smith, who was a standout tight end at
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: OU with no ties to UConn. They hired Trent Smith
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: because he is the man. And kids want to go
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: play for UConn when he's out selling them on it.
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: And he's literally selling them on it. They have a
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: full NIL program. This kid, I heard this quarterback.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he ain't selling anything. He's buying.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: I heard this quarter. That's right.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Good point. Really good point.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, you don't get a Division I quarterback to
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: move here from Hawaii.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: That's legit. And he's apparently really good.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's really good.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: And I got Bruins all the way. Bruins are going
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: to win this game during homecoming. It is going to
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: be a great, cool, finally a cool Friday night after
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: the storms are finished, which is going to be Friday morning.
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: And the Class of 91 is having our 35th reunion.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Best class ever to graduate from.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Marshall High School.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: It's remarkable.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Not even close.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: They didn't even win a football game in 91.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Go get your own podcast.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: It's going to be great.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, wasn't Wheeler the head football coach?
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: It was Coach Ripley.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: It was Ripley. 91 podcast.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Go talk about it. We're excited about this game.
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: Weren't you guys the year that got Ripley fired?
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's true.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Yes, because in 92, 100%, Wheeler was the head coach
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: in 92.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know that that's true.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: So claim to be the best class. You guys got
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: a legendary Hall of Fame. Mickey Ripley fired.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Not just in football. The best class ever to graduate from.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: High school basketball state championship. Let's not throw that into
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: the trash.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Come on. Big deal.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: Had it.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: Us too. Big deal.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: Bruins.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Go get your own podcast. Yeah.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the class of 91. We could.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Gosh.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: It's got to be the weirdest class out there.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Hey, listen. Guys, you brought up something a while ago,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: and I plan on talking a little bit about this,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: but one of the hardest things when you take over
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: a football program is we talk about getting the kids
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: to buy in and believe, but getting them to change
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: their mindset. Not just the kids, but the fans. They
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: have to change theirs. Teams who have been beat or
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: haven't had a lot of success– and including the kids
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: and the fans and the community, that's the hardest thing.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I took over a football team that was 3-37 in
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: four years. Two of those three wins came from Caney Valley. Yeah.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't the player's ability that was the challenge
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: at all. It was getting them mentally to believe they
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: could do something.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: And then getting the community to believe in the kids
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: that they could do something.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: And not have that, oh, we're going to get beat.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: We're going to be at beat. Oh, they're coming to town.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: We're going to get beat.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: That year that I took over, we played number two
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: Bristow Purple Pirates at our place. And they had a kid.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: His last name was Thompson, and he played at the
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: University of Oklahoma, played corner for them. And he was
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: one of the receivers, and he was good. I mean,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: really good. And we scored right before halftime with no
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: time left to take the lead. Brenton Smith jumps up.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: and tips the ball and Justin Rogers catches it at
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: the back of the end zone. So we take the
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: lead at halftime. We go on to beat Bristow that year,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: and that right there flipped the kids' brains that, wait
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: a minute, we can win. And this is the exact
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: same football team, guys, that it was either four or
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: five weeks earlier, we're playing no water in week one,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: and my center, who was a senior, had started for
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: three years, comes off the field, we just turn the
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: ball over, And we were winning. And he comes off
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: the field and he's like, Coach, it's over. We're done.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: We're done. And I'm like, wait a minute. What do
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: you mean we're done?
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: We're winning. Are you kidding me?
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: But those kids had never won before. They didn't understand.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: They were looking for something bad to happen. So after
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: we beat Bristow, they kind of changed. Their mindset changed.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: The community changed. And this could be one of those
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: deals for Coach Hennessy. Guys, everybody knows UConn's good. And
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: they got Division I kids. That's fine. But they're not
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: the only ones on that football team. They've got a
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: bunch of other kids too. So if the Bruins can
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: come out and just hang around as long as they
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: can and then sell out in the fourth quarter, they
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity. Don't not come to this football game
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: because you think Bruins are going to get waxed by
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: UConn UConn cheating Millers because that's what they are. They're cheating.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: That's a fact. This is a prime example.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: They should change the name of the mascot.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: 100%.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: It's not cheating. I hate it.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: It's cheating. No, it's not. You tell me. You guys
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: tell me that it's fair.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Let it go. It's not fair.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: I don't agree with any part of it at all.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: That's why I love 2A, 3A football. You've got to
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: move on. Because they don't have this nonsense. That's what
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: it is. It's a bunch of nonsense. But we're not
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: going to get into that. We're going to get into
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Coach Hennessy had a week off, him and his staff.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: They're going to have the boys ready to play. It
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: is homecoming, which doesn't bother me a lick. I know
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: you guys talk about, oh, the distractions and all that stuff. Well,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: if you've got a good head football coach and a
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: good staff, it doesn't distract them at all. They let
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: them have fun, let them get excited and all that
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: good stuff like that. So, guys, I'm not going to
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: say that the Bruins are going to win, but I
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: think this is going to be a good a really
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: good game. And if they can stick around till the
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter and keep it within a one score game
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, I say they win.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I do want to say the views and opinions
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: expressed in this podcast do not necessarily reflect those of
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: K1 Radio Management. All right, go ahead.
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Are you saying they're not cheaters?
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: No, I just.
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: They're cheaters. Well, it's not cheating.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Absolutely cheaters.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: You know, so you try to go so traditionalist. Which
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: I agree, and I'm with you on every bit of that.
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is– I don't like the environment. Obviously,
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: you hear about it every weekend on Saturdays. Now it's
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: trickled down to a Friday night, and that's just the
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: way it's going to be. They've got a full NIL director,
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: and he's going out and getting these players. The other
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: thing that you'll see, you'll see a real football team.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying we're not. But when they get off
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: the bus, if you look at their offensive line, they've
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: got a 6'4, 290 kid that's going to get some
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: Division I offers. He hasn't yet. The other tackle I
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: think is like 6'3, 320. They're big across the front.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: They're athletic. They've got a quarterback. I mean, it is
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: literally a team that fans– People, when you're listeners, when
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: you're there Friday night, that's what UConn has bought out there.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: It is a fact.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: They paid for some of those players to transfer in. Now,
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: the amounts and stuff. But you're going to see Friday
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: night kids getting paid to go out there and play,
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: which I think is ridiculous. And the OSSA, who doesn't
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: do anything that is necessary. For the kids and teams
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: that is under their leadership, it's ridiculous. I think they've
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: got to fix it, and they've got to fix it
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: now because we're headed down a path that we're not
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: going to be able to change. There's no way that
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: you can tell me that a kid that is transferred
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: in five different states to play Friday nights is teaching
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: them life lessons about how to overcome adversity, how to
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: work with a team, how to put yourself behind the team.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous we're teaching these 16-, 17-year-olds that. 100%. But
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: if Barstool's going to win, we're going to have to
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: also have an NIL director. No matter whether you agree
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: with it or not.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: So you're going with don't hate the player, hate the game.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: A hundred percent.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: I hope Bixby beats the dog out of UConn Millers.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, this runs rules.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, they also are paying players, Rev.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: They might pay their players, but they're Bixby kids. They're
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: not bringing kids from Hawaii.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: No, they're bringing them from other schools, from Owasso, from, yeah.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: You know why I look at that?
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: This is it.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: This is what it is. I had to play all
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: the private schools back when I was a head football coach.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Every single one. Everybody always said all the time, oh,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: they're cheaters.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: They're recruiting.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: They're recruiting. Coach Joe Medina at Cash Hall does not recruit, guys.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: And it drove me nuts. And I had to play
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: him and get the crap beat out of me by
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: him all the time. But I'm going to tell you
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: what does recruit. Maybe they didn't recruit back then. I
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: promise they are now. His program recruits. Yeah.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: If you're Catholic and you live in Tulsa and your
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: kid's a good football player, where are you going to
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: go to school? Tulsa Hale? No. Central? No.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: Back up.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: I can tell you this.
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: That statement is 100% false.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: No, it's not. I'm going to tell you something else, Rev.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: So how do you give free tuition for a kid
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: to come in and play football?
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: Rev.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, Joe Medina never went and
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: knocked on one person's door. You are nuts.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: You're nuts.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, I forgot.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Match played football his entire career and coached. He was
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: class of 91, who got Coach Mickey Ripley, the.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame coach, fired. My coach. Yes.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, they're so good.
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: My playing career doesn't have anything to do with the
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: fact that obviously Casha Hall recruits. And I've been to
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: two Bishop McGinnis games this season, and I can tell
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: you right now, at least one-fourth of their team is on, quote-unquote,
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: scholarship and has been recruited in.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: They've got five kids from Dell City. They've got, like,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: ten kids from Midwest City.
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: I promise you they recruit and go knock on doors.
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Are you going to go to Dell or are you
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: going to go to Bishop?
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: If you're Catholic, I don't think a single one of
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: these kids is Catholic. It has nothing to do with religion.
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: I assure you it has to do with playing football,
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: and they are really good.
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: The thing that I agree with you on, I don't
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: think Medina was out there knocking on doors. I think
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: the program did recruit kids in, but you can't tell
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: me a kid that grew up playing at Carver or
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: playing over at Central all of a sudden shows up
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: at Casha Hall and is on full scholarship is going
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: there because of the– Catholic. Heard it.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: No, they got a really good cafeteria.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: So, no, no, no.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Don't forget.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Don't forget, Nighthawk.
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's called the training table.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: Because they love mass and they love Catholic.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: Medina's a great coach. A great... You're full of it.
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: He's a great human being.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: So I don't want to throw any shade his way
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: and say that he has ever been, but his program
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: with his history and success and the way he approaches it. Now,
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: Is there other people out there telling them in sixth,
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: seventh grade when they're playing over at Carver or eighth grade,
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: ninth grade, 100%? Hey, and then, you know, it's a $ 30, 000, $ 35, 000
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: a year private school. And then, hey, that's taken care
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: of too. So to me.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, you said something really good. That's what I do
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: all the time.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: I know it.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: But you said you were talking about that quarterback being
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: a team player. He's been at four schools or whatever.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: And you're going to walk in and you as a
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: head football coach say, hey, here's our quarterback. He's a
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: great team player.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: I bet he doesn't even know the names of his
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: offensive line. No, nor care.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: Jeez.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: I bet he doesn't even attend high school. I bet
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: you're right. I bet he does online stuff. But there
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: is no denying.
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what UConn's record has been
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: like the last five years, but.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: There is no denying. Dog poop. Yeah. There's no denying.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: We just talked about it at the first part of
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: the segment.
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: And it was. It was bad.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: There's no denying what they've done here.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: They're 1-9, then 3-7, then 6-6, and now 5-0. So
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: they've gotten progressively better under this coach.
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: Well, the coach is better, obviously.
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: You got better.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the coach got better. I can tell you how.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: His players are a lot better. Exactly what Rev said.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: We all agree.
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: We could go on for two hours talking about this.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: But I do think I agree with Rev.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Hate OSSAA. Can we do that?
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: I can't stand them.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: We can all agree on that. Okay, good.
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know who's worse, the NCAA or the OSSAA.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: That's a legitimate question.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: They're just worthless organizations that live off the backs of
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: these athletes, and they don't have the best interests of
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: these athletes in mind in making decisions. I don't care
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: what they say. And I've known people on that board,
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: but they're a minority as far as when it comes
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: down to it. It seems like they vote one way,
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: and then the director will do another thing. So, yeah,
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: I think it's ridiculous, and I hate the way it's headed.
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: And hopefully this gets fixed because we wake up.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: I think we've hit the bottom. I mean, it's like
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: the NCAA. They've hit rock bottom. That's going to change.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It is. They're ruining college football.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: I know. They're going to put some boundaries on that,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: and it's going to happen real quick. You know what?
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: They did the best thing.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: They got Coach Nick Saban on board to do it.
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: Rev, to your point, the NCAA got so bad that
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: the federal government had to step in.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: You're right. That's bad.
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: Well, they're dumb. They need to be concentrating on something else.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: And so they're going to pass that bill.
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: They're going to pass that act and, and it's going
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: to change all this and where you can only transfer
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: one time and they're going to cap NIL and take
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: care of some of the transgender stuff.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: It's, and, and, The NCAA.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy, this is getting off the rails.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, the.
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: NCAA has patently failed their member institutions.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: Patently failed.
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they should also fix voter ID. Who did
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: you take? Who did you take?
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Who, me?
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think he was taken anyway.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: I haven't even talked about the game yet.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead. Sorry.
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: So, I agree that I think that you're going to
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: see a lot better product against a very weighted opponent.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: no pun intended, athletically. We know UConn's better on paper.
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: They're going to have better athletes on the field. I
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: think exactly what we've talked about with these other coaches,
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: Coach Hennessey is going to have a game plan. He's
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: got a great staff. These kids are not going to
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: be afraid of him. They are going to, you're going
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: to see probably some trick plays. They're going to try
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: to score first. They're going to try to let the
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: kids believe that, hey, we can win this football game.
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: That's what's great about football. And I know you hear
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: it about every sport, but you hear it more with
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: football about some teams can line up and at the
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: end of the day, even though by record, by roster,
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: they can be a 40-point underdog and they can win
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: the football game. I think you'll see that type of effort.
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: I do think, however, that it's going to be tough
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: for Barsville, and I know Coach Hennessey and staff know that,
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: but they're not going to back down. Years past, we'd
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: probably see a Barsville team, you'd see a bunch of penalties,
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: a bunch of late hits, a bunch of just dumb
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: penalties because of egos and stuff, but you're not going
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: to see a Barsville team get frustrated because there's going
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: to be some adversity there's going to be some frustrating
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: times by the defense or offense that they're not going
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: to react they're going to go back and you know
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: coach hennessy's got them doing the right stuff and if
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: you look at any of these coaches they're believing hard
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: work little things matter practice is where you win on
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: fridays and then you start all of a sudden you
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: get a win you it's like oh i do believe
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: in this and then the more wins come the more
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: the belief happens into the coach's process um But, yeah,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: I do think UConn, I do think it's going to
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: be a closer game than people think. You know, one
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: thing that we'll talk about a little bit, I mean,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: we've got some individuals for Barstool that are playing really
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: good football right now. Michael Kent, I think, is leading
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: in like five or six different categories when it comes
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: to passing, touchdowns, percentage. You know, I think he's fifth
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: in rushing. Let's make sure that he stays healthy this week.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: I know you can't think like that, especially with his
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: warrior mentality. Just– Get out of bounds early if you
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: have to. Maybe even slide a little bit. You know,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: let's be smart about this, but let's go win the
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: football game too. It's going to be a great night.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: It's homecoming, which I hate. I'm on the other side
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: of you. I always hated homecoming. I hate it for
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: my sixth graders. My gosh, dang it, we've got to
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: miss a practice on Thursday. Well, I don't think so.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: I think it's going to get rained out, and I
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: think they are going to practice if that happens. And–
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: They're doing all the homecoming stuff before the game, which
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: I'm fully in favor of.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: And then you can just go play.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: I hated that because it was during halftime and it
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: was extended halftime and usually had seven or eight of
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: your leaders from the football team was going out there and, oh,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: I've got to ground you, blah, blah, blah. And then
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: they come in and they're– so I hated that distraction.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: But it's not about that. But I'm taking UConn in
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: a close one. But, gosh, I will say this. Bars
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: will go out and watch a good– I mean, go
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: out and support your local team. I know the weather
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 3: is going to be great.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: It's going to be great.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: Hopefully the rain is done by then. But, yeah, let's
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: go out and support these kids. Awesome. But I think
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: UConn's biggest win was Mustang because Mustang is really good
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: because they arguably got the other number one player in
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: the state that's going to owe you that corner receiver too.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: So I think, you know, boy, it's going to be
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: some great matchups this Friday.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: Bowden Roberts was the athlete that Coach Hennessy brought to
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: the Fall Sports Showcase last week, and he did such
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: a great job. He's just a good senior leader. He's
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: playing great on defense right now. You need guys like
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: that during games like this, and so I have been
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: impressed with his leadership so far this season and was
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: really impressed hearing him talk, and they're excited about this game.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the other thing, too. Last thing I'll say
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: about NIL and how it's affecting college football, and now
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: it's trickled down to Friday nights. Saturday's going to get worse.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying this Saturday. I'm saying just the mentality.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: Texas University, the two unsportsmanlike, stupid celebrations that happened during
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: that game. And you're seeing more and more of those
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: because what's a coach going to do? Coach can't– I
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: mean– I know.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: The problem is these kids come in, think they can
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: do what they want to, and then a coach is going, hey,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: I'm paid, you know, $ 12, $ 15 million a year. I
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: can't lose that player. So I can't. I guarantee you
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: that kid's a punk during practice and doesn't go home.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: Guaranteed.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: And it's all about him. But he had five sacks.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: He did. I know.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: That's what he's doing. Yeah, I'm going to get on him.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: The one thing I'll say is South Carolina, to kick
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: that kid off the team and out of the program–
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: And he goes, it's not a matter. Punches get thrown
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: every Saturday. It's not a matter of that. You can
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: tell that kid's a punk, and he's a top 10
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: draft pick, edge rusher, and he gets into a fight.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: He goes, it's not about the punch and what happened
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: on the field. That's going to happen today. It's going
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 3: to happen next year. Punches happen on Saturdays. It's how
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: we reacted to the staff. And for that coach.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: Beaver.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Beaver just to make the stance and go. hey,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: he's for sure ejected for next game. I'll make a
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: decision over the next two days whether or not he's
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: going to be part of this program because that's not our, what, standard.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw the interview and the lady said, what's
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: going to determine whether or not he's allowed to come
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: back to the team?
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: And Beaver said, me?
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great leadership because he did make an emotional decision.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: But for him to kick them off, but that NIL stuff,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: you can't coach these kids because what happens? What are
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: they going to do? They're going to go, fine, I'll
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: just go play for Coach Rebar and get to do
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: whatever I want to and get paid more.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: You remember when Gundy left, he said, you expect me
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: to recruit guys in every year, right, from all around
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: the country. And I also have to recruit my own
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: players every single day.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: You're recruiting to keep those guys. It's nuts.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they got to get that. Ridiculous. All right.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Coach Rebar's bored. No.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to hear about the sixth graders.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: Me too.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: Because apparently they got along just fine without all night.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: What did I say though last week? Yeah, so obviously
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: big win. Proud of those little, gosh, I say not
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: little because they're actually a really big football team. But yeah,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: they beat TYA, which is kind of a signature. B.A.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 3: Black was a signature win for this season. TYA was
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: obviously a signature win for these kids because they played
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: them three or four times in the past.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: Just for comparison, it's like beating Bixby, right?
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, they are good.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: Correct. Yeah, they've won three times over the last five
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: years that have always been in the finals or the semifinals.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: And to be honest, guys, we won 16-0 and Now,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: it was midnight until about 2 o'clock. I was watching
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: the game live, and I was on the phone with
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: Mitch on the sideline. So it was Germany time. But
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: I really couldn't help much because I was about a
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: half a play behind. But, yeah, yeah. And to be honest,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: you know, 16-0, you talk about kids that are believing
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: and buying in, and they, you know, it's not about the,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: as what I've always called, it's not about the brick
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: and mortar. It doesn't matter. What kind of locker room
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: or field? It's about the flesh and blood. It's about
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: the people to your left and to your right. These
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: kids are buying into that. They play for each other,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: and it's unbelievable. It's 16-0, and they stopped us twice
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: on the one-yard line and then another time inside 10. So, guys,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: it could have been a 32-30-0 ballgame really easy.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: This week we've got Union Black, which is also they've
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: never won it, but they're always there. They beat TYA 7-6.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: They're a very good football team. This week at home
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: at 9 o'clock. But, yeah, these kids, and I could
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: just go down the list. I mean, like I said,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: it truly is not X's and O's. It's Jimmy's and Joe's,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: and these kids are believing. They love each other. I mean,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: we talk about love all the time, and they truly
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: love and play for each other. 9 a.m.? 9 a.m.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: Ooh.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: You tell me about it, but I like the schedule.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: Wake up at 6.30 and get on the road at 7.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks for asking. And there was about 200 people
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: at that game.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: Wow. So Mitch said it was probably the most that
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: they've underplayed on it. It was a great. And Mitch
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: could tell those kids were ready because when he walked
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: in the locker room afterwards, it just exploded. That's awesome.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: So they enjoy the ride. Yeah. And they just had
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: a ton of fun.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: Good job, guys. All right, good luck, everybody.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: Good luck to the teams.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: Good luck.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: Hi, this is Chris Revard, market president for Gateway First
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: Bank in Bartlesville. Friday night lights, packed stands, and Bruin pride.
• 1:07:40
