  Speaker 1: two shows next week the one show because since Texas
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: will be on and open date on a bye week
• 1:34

• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and we hope you'll you'll come on out six o'clock
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: from six to seven tonight.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: At Pluckers during this now new age of college basketball
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: at the NIL, Eric Craig, the Trench Reporter, is it
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: is it tougher for you to learn the team now
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: than it was maybe, you know, five, ten years ago
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: because this entire roster obviously you have you know, Key Returns,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Kendall Weaver and Kayden Schdrick and the coaching staff. But
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I mean in years past, you know, you would maybe
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: have two or three more freshmen joined the team. Now
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: it's like there's like eight guys here on this Texas roster.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And the same goes for Romans basketball. Is it is
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: it tougher for you.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Put it this way, it ensures the fact that then
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I'm doing my homework because there's guys to make sure
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: that I understand.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Are new to the roster.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So so yeah, I have to I have to make
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: sure that I'm handling my business in terms of the preps.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: So it is different.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It is different, but you know, every year there's roster
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: turnover the guys that league, there's new freshmen coming in.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: This however, is obviously a team that has quite a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: bit of change on it. There are six returning players,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: four freshmen, and six players from the portal. So yeah,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: there's the same thing. Also even in a senior dominated
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: team like the Texas Women have, I believe there's five
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: seniors and four juniors on the team, but that includes
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: transfers as well, so there's new ones to get involved
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: with to get to know as well. By the way,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Orange White game tonight to the Texas Women at seven
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: o'clock at Moody Center, and then next Thursday night they'll
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: have an exhibition game against you team, Tyler, So that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: will be that'll be next Thursday night as they draw
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: closer to their season zero.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I wonder if we're gonna have Rory Harmon I Madsin
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Booker on separate teams because it'll be fun to see
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: if one they would go up against each other and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: how that would work.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: It would be uh.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You know, my history with orange white games has been
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: or intrasquad exhibition games, is that quite often some of
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the best players will be split on both sides, but
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: there will be some cross pollination.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: There'll be points where they'll what does he.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Call the double sided jersey penny right, Yeah, they'll swap yeah, yeah,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they'll take those off put the other ones on the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: double sided jerseys go from orange to white.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: And that happens in football too.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You know when we do it, when we do the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: orange white spring game, I mean, we're having to keep track. Wayman,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that dude was a wide receiver on orange moment ago.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Now he's on the white. Especially with the defensive players
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: they wind up sharing.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you don't have enough depth, then a
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: lot of times, like the first year Sark was here,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: they didn't have enough for an orange white game.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Right, wasn't it just a practice? Yeah, yeah, that's exactly
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: what it was.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So anyway, that's something that speaking of not having enough
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this note, but I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: did find it intriguing. We know about the and I'll
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: say it unfortunate dissolution and eroding of the PAC twelve
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: conference with teams leaving with Colin Stanford one of the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a SEC and Oregon and Washington going to the Big
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Ten in Colorado and Utah and Arizona and Arizona State
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: all going to the Big twelve. And so basically the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: PAC twelve is falling apart, leaving only Washington State and
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Oregon State. But they've begun to replenish their ranks, adding
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Mount West Conference schools to the roster now and I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: believe they've got to add what two more to get
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to eight to be sanctioned to be Division one Football
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: FBS to where they could be playoff eligible, except by
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: twenty five or twenty six, they've got two years.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: It's it's a two year deal, so next season.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So they've been working on that. There are also
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: challenges to scheduling because those two schools, Oregon State and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Washington State, had a scheduling alliance with a Mountain West,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: but once they started, in the words of the Mountain
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: West poaching members of their conference then the scheduling thing
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: went out the window, so they kind of put Oregon
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: State and Washington State in a little bit of a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: tough spot. So one step they announced yesterday was they're
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: going to play each other twice. They're going to go
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: home and home in twenty twenty five, so they have
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to operate as quasi independence again next season. Before that
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: expansion of the PAC twelve and twenty twenty six, so
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the acting on what we just talked about, they had
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a two year grace period to refill the conference ranks,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: so they kind of have to go independent. And the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: reason why and Kyle Bonneger wrote this down that it
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: was quasi independent.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I think that's a good way of describing it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Because they had part of a scheduling alliance with a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Mountain West. So they had the scheduling agreement where they
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: added six Mountain West opponents to their schedules. But when
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the talks to extend the agreement with the Mountain West
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: broke down in August, then they knew they were going
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to have to do something. So Oregon State had their
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: full schedule release for next year and so they have
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: seven home games. Well it's a home and home also
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: with Washington State. Oregon State will host the first game
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: on November first, Washington State will host a second game
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: regular season finale on November twenty nine. The Beavers will
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: host the Cougars this year on November twenty third, as
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: part of the regular scheduling cadence. And so that's a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: little bit different that we'll see them go home and home,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you know, while they kind of just go through, for
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: want of a better term, a conference purgatory next year
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: before they can, you know, get other schools in on
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: into the reconstituted PAC twelve. And it does make you
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: wonder just, you know, how seriously that league will be
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: taken as a quote unquote power conference or not at
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: all next year. Which is why, by the way, I
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: think it's a good thing that the College Football Playoff
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Committee was very much upfront about saying this that the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: automatic bids into the twelve team playoff bracket this year
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: go to This is how it's written, not how you
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: may have heard from others. The automatic bids go to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the five highest ranked conference champions. We know there are
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: four power conferences ACC, Big Ten, Big twelve, SEC. We
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: know there's that The fifth one then would be a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: G five a group of five conference like the American
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: or the Sun Belt or Conference USA or the MAC.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: It would be one of those leagues.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: But were also logical enough to figure out that really
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and truly those four slots that get buys are going
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to go to those four power conferences because the G
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: fives are just not going to be able to meet
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: up with them in terms of that higher ranking. They
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: lost another one last night. Did you see what happened
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to Liberty? See that I did not. Liberty five and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: zero lost to Owen six Kennesau State last night. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: watched some of that and it got crazy at the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: end because Kennessas State had the lead.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: What was last night Wednesday?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Remember this is part of that fifty three day
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: window where there's college football. There's some football game on
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: every night for fifty three consecutive days, either NFL college
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you know, Division one or smaller you know FCS level whatever.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: So Liberty played last night at Kennesaw and I think
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: they mentioned they were a twenty seven and a half
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: point favorite.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: And twenty seven and a half Okay.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: They get down to the end of the game and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Kennesaw State is up twenty seven to twenty four, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: first of all, and I looked at it and I thought,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: this is why this team is owned six or part
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of it. They made some really ridiculous clock decisions that
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: allowed enough time once they got stopped trying to pick
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: up a first down.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: It allowed Liberty six seconds left or ten seconds left.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: They were snapping the ball when Liberty had no timeouts left,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and there were still like five or six seconds on
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the play clock down in the final saying you run
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: it all the way down and there wouldn't have been
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: any time left, but they kept doing it, and so
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Liberty gets the ball back. Cadence salters, a quarterback from
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Cedar Hill, rolls out, throws pasc goes out of bounds,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: kind of like the Colt McCoy went against Nebraska, skips
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: out right as the clock is going to zero.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: It hit a player on the sideline. Fans rushed the field.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: They're going crazy, Coaches are hugging players go.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: And then they got players in review and sure enough,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: there's a second left.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: They have to make everybody clear off the field, and
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: they do one more and they trial the lateral stuff,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the pitchy pitchy woo woo stuff that Scott Vaan Pel
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: calls it and it doesn't work, and then they rush
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the field a second time. So Liberty, which had it
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: outside shop because they were run beaten it maybe being
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the G five forget about it. Now they're done. There's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: no way they're going to be the highest rank because
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: they had a very very weak schedule otherwise.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: So it looks like the only remaining group of five
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: teams Craig is a avy, Army and Navy trying to
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: combine them there and then Notre Dame Notre Dames. No,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: they lost, right, so.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: The only Army and Navy, and then the question is
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: can they get past Notre Dame otherwise? Yeah, otherwise Boise
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: State could be in the driver's seat there to get
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: one or Notre Dame could. I mean their schedule would
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: would improve with wins over Army and Navy for sure,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: So we'll see how it goes from there. Any MAC teams, No, No,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the only MAC you'll be seeing will be on those
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Tuesday and Wednesday games to see which teams are going
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to go, which two teams are going to go to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Detroit and play in the in the UH I don't
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: care the quick lane, I don't think I don't even
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: think it's called the quick lane bowling Moore. I think
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it's I think it's been changed. I'll figure that out.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Little Caesars ball, it's not even that all right. Coming up,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: we'll hear more from Logorn's head coach, Steve Sarkizan on
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: sports Radio AM thirteen Under the Zone.
