• 0:37
  Speaker 2: in Texas, was on a sultry.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Summer day. The cowboy coming off the road just to
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: pass the time away. Pulled the stool up to the
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: bar and he pushed his hat back on his head.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Now listen to the stories told, the words the cowboy said.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: He said, I can tell you stories about the Indians
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: on the plains. Talk about Wells Fargo and the coming
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: of the trains. I can talk about the slaughter of
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: the buffalo that roamed. Sing you songs of setting, come
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: out looking for a home.
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: And the man with the big hat is buying. Drink
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: up while.
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: The drinking is free.
• 1:39
  Speaker 8: Drink up to the cowboys, the dead or the dying.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: That's Jerry, Jeff, and Willie.
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: The song, The.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Man in the Big Hat. I'll tell you all about
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that while we're playing it. Coming up here in a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: few minutes. Welcome in this portion of the program. Brought
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to you by Radiant Dentistry. As you just heard before,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we were on the air for Paul Feinbaum. SEC Commissioner
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Greg Sankey surprisingly testified in the lawsuit in Baton Rouge today,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: said he thought it was important to be here. Pete
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Thamel quoting Sankey's comments to the media after a lengthy testimony, quote,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: long experience. It's important to be here. Plenty of disagreement
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: on tough issues. I wanted to represent our universities and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: their expectations. I think it's important to stand up for principles.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: Even if people disagree.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: We've not had people leaving NFL training camps and coming
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: back to college. It's important to stand up for our principles.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Right before Sankey took the stand, the SEC filed lawsuit
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in U.S. District Court in Birmingham against LSU and Lane Kiffin,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the athletic director, and the president. That came, of course,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: right before the preliminary hearing. Sankey said to the lawsuit,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: we will let.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: It speak for itself.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrell, who showed up in
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a purple blouse and said, go Tigers, to the reporters
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: sitting in front of the courthouse, called the lawsuit garbage.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: She called the timing legal gamesmanship and criticized Sankey for
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: wanting to go home on a private jet. I don't
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: know what that has to do with all of the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: lawsuits going on. It may be a while before we
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: get a decision in this lawsuit.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: It's very interesting.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: That that happened, and we will just continue to follow
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: all this. We think LSU and Clemson are playing football
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Saturday night. Jerry Sandusky, remember him? We just mentioned his
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: name yesterday. has instructed his attorneys to seek cancellation of
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a hearing scheduled next Tuesday in which one of his
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: accusers was expected to recant his sexual assault accusation, opting
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to take his appeal for a new trial to federal court.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Frank Parlato Jr., an investigator, has been looking into Sandusky's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: case for three years and encouraged accuser Ryan Rittenmeyer to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: formalize His recantation in court told ESPN attorneys for the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: 82-year-old Sandusky would file paperwork this week to withdraw from
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the Tuesday hearing and instead seek a federal court remedy.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: And Cody Campbell can't keep his mouth shut. Talking about
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the Sorsby situation this summer, looking back on it, I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: know that Texas Tech and I handled everything with integrity
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and we did things the right way.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: This is quoting from a documentary.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I think this is something that could have been handled
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: much more privately. We're not going to forget about that.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And I don't think they'll forget about it when we're
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: up by 40 and still throwing the ball in the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter. That's where the retribution will come.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: We've got College football tonight. The Fighting Deion Sanders are
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: playing in Atlanta at Bobby Dodd Stadium against Georgia Tech.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Idaho and Utah play tonight. UAB and Illinois play tonight.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Missouri plays tonight. That game is on the SEC Network.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: The Houston Astros scored two in the eighth inning on
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Nelson Velasquez's RBI single that broke a scoreless tie.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: Shut out the.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: White Sox 2-0 yesterday to improve their record to 71-69.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: Would you check their score real quick today? They won 62.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Crap.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, the Astros are now 72-69 and putting more
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: pressure on the Rangers. Earlier today, it was announced that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Josh Hader has been named the American League Reliever of
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the Month for August. He threw 13 scoreless, no, 14
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and a third scoreless innings and 13 in appearances.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: Four for four.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: 47 batting average, 15 strikeouts.
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: And one walk.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: In other words, he was really good in the month
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of August, which is why the Astros, one of the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: big reasons they started winning. The Rangers trying to get
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a horrible taste out of their mouths, losing yesterday 9-2
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to a bad Oakland team. Ranger pitchers gave up five
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Oakland home runs yesterday afternoon.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: And it gets worse.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: They have to host the Tampa Bay Rays tonight. Cal Quantrill,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: who's been pretty good, will be on the mound for
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the Rangers, who are 69-71 and now two and a
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: half games behind the Houston Astros. They're playing tennis at
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the U.S.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Open.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Coco Gauff plays at 6 o'clock.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: American Madison Keys had to go to a third set
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: tiebreaker to win her match today. And American Taylor Fritz
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: is playing or has already played this afternoon against Mattia
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Bellucci of Italy. So we'll keep an eye on that
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: one for you. We're going to hear from Lane Kiffin
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: coming up. We are going to have a high school report.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from both the Rangers and Astros manager.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: In the second hour, we have our Clark Eisenhower outdoor edition.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: We are going on a float trip down the Roaring
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Fork River in Colorado.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: And, of course, lots of animals attacking. Tomorrow, we're going
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: to be joined... By.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Kirk Bowles, Tony Catalina, Ryan will be in hosting. I'll
• 9:02

• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Friday's Fearless Football Forecast Contest brought to you all season
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: long by Zwirneman, Flooring, and Chad Jones Law.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: I have, let's see, I've got some breaking news here. Wow,
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: that was quick. I can't get to it quick enough,
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: but here it is.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: North Carolina general manager Michael Lombardi is resigning. He was
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the highest paid general manager in college football. The bottom
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: line is he had been, I think, maybe on leave
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: because they were doing an investigation on But Lombardi is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: now resigned, and despite the win over TCU, it's still
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a dumpster fire with Bill Belichick and North Carolina, which again,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: as we talked yesterday, how big is a dumpster fire
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: in TCU if that team beat TCU?
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: But they did. Still not sure Belichick will survive this season.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: We'll see how all of that works out. So we
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: started the show with Jerry Jeff and Willie's song, The
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Man with the Big Hat. Last night, I was able
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to go to a preview of a documentary by filmmaker
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Austin Sayre on Texas singer-songwriter Steve Frumholz. We're going to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: get Austin on the show here in the next couple
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of weeks. Lyle Lovett was hosting through the visual arts
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: department at A & M. Performance is called performance visualization,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: it's easy for me to say, and fine arts, or
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: PVFA as we like to call it. So got to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: see Lyle, got to visit with Austin Sayre a little
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: bit and watch this phenomenal documentary. It was debuted at
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: South by Southwest in March. It's got footage from Fromholz,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: which is amazing because there's not much of it. Archival
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: footage from Austin City Limits. Lyle sang with Steve Fromholz.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Ray Benson is in it. Butch Hancock is in it.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Larry Joe Taylor is in it. It is really, really
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: well done. And Lovett covered Steve Frumholtz on his 1998
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: double album, Step Inside This House. If you've never heard
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Texas Trilogy... It is an experience. And he was really amazing.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: It's a terrific story. And by the way, I think
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I surprised Austin Sayre when I told him, because in
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the documentary, it talks about the fact that Frumholtz teamed
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: up with Stephen Stills on a tour. After Stills, one
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: of the many breakups of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Stills was touring as a solo performer, but he took
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Steve Frumholtz with him. And I saw Stephen Stills and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Steve Frumholtz in Dallas.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: And I still remember the experience.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I saw Frumholtz a couple of three different times in
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Austin when he was coming up. His debut album was
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: a critical success, if not just a huge financial success,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: called Frummox. And he was really part of the Texas
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: music scene.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, a big part of it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And when Willie Nelson covered his song, I'd Have to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Be Crazy... That sent Frumholtz to another level. And we'll
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: hear that song coming up here in a little bit.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: And Frumholtz is in that song. And they told a
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: story in the documentary about it. It won Best Documentary
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Feature at the San Antonio Film Festival. He is headed
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to Nashville here in a couple of weeks to debut
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the film. It's called The Man with the Big Hat.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: It is not out yet. I think they're still looking
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: for finances for wide release. I hope it comes out,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and I hope it rekindles and in most cases is
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: going to introduce people to Steve Frumholtz's music. But thanks
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: to the folks at PVFA.com. for having us out last night.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: It was a terrific time.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin's team is actually scheduled to play a football
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: game this weekend, a pretty big football game. They're scheduled
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to host Clemson at Death Valley. The people at LSU
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: have already said there are more media and more celebrities
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: will be at that game than the history of Death Valley. Okay,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: which means so far Lane has done everything they hired
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: him to do, including all the circus. Okay, he met
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: with the media in Baton Rouge earlier this week.
• 17:24
  Speaker 12: All right, guys, game week. Couldn't be more excited for
• 17:27
  Speaker 12: this to be here. You know, 649 on Saturday. On ABC,
• 17:34
  Speaker 12: stadium sold out. It was really neat Saturday. We try
• 17:39
  Speaker 12: to always prepare them for everything. We've always had a
• 17:43
  Speaker 12: mock game. Gone through hotel, meals, walkthroughs, everything that they do.
• 17:50
  Speaker 12: How they dress. Everything from Sunday all the way until
• 17:56
  Speaker 12: the end of Saturday. I didn't know that On our walk,
• 18:02
  Speaker 12: I just thought nobody would be there. It was pretty
• 18:05
  Speaker 12: cool that some fans were there somehow. It was really
• 18:08
  Speaker 12: neat to see the band play during the game so
• 18:11
  Speaker 12: we could get used to that when that is. TV
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: timeouts and everything. That kind of made it as real
• 18:19
  Speaker 12: as we could make it for them. Hopefully that helps
• 18:21
  Speaker 12: prepare them for Saturday. It's awesome having college game day here.
• 18:25
  Speaker 12: I think that speaks a lot of where LSU is
• 18:30
  Speaker 12: as a program. and how it's viewed. And that's really exciting.
• 18:35
  Speaker 12: It's what kids want. They want to be the national
• 18:38
  Speaker 12: game of the week and they want college game day
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: to cover them. So I'm really excited for that part.
• 18:44
  Speaker 12: But again, this will be about preparation, not hype. There's
• 18:48
  Speaker 12: so much hype into this game, so much excitement from
• 18:51
  Speaker 12: our fan base, you know, to watch us probably that
• 18:55
  Speaker 12: same excitement for everybody else in the country to root
• 18:57
  Speaker 12: the other way against us. And, um, Just a lot
• 19:02
  Speaker 12: of work went into it. Whatever, seven, eight months of
• 19:05
  Speaker 12: getting to this point. I always look at the game
• 19:08
  Speaker 12: really as like a performance. The players do all this work.
• 19:13
  Speaker 12: The coaches do all this work to make sure they
• 19:15
  Speaker 12: put the best performance out there for our people and
• 19:19
  Speaker 12: our fans. Really tough opponent in Clemson. Very well coached.
• 19:25
  Speaker 12: Veteran staff of guys that have won a lot of games.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Coordinators.
• 19:29
  Speaker 12: Head coach obviously. Dabo's one of the best ever ever
• 19:32
  Speaker 12: do it and has done it for a long time.
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: This is a great matchup, one we're excited to be
• 19:38
  Speaker 12: part of. Again, I've said it before, I'm humbled to
• 19:42
  Speaker 12: be here as the LSU head coach. I don't take
• 19:45
  Speaker 12: that lightly. I would hope that the way that we work,
• 19:48
  Speaker 12: the time that we put in, and the preparation that
• 19:50
  Speaker 12: we do over these seven months is what people brought
• 19:55
  Speaker 12: us here to do I.
• 19:56
  Speaker 13: Guess just the you talked about it a little bit
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: but just some of the decisions that you guys have
• 20:00
  Speaker 13: made over the last week to potentially bring in some
• 20:02
  Speaker 13: of these players from NFL rosters just if you could
• 20:05
  Speaker 13: expand on that a little bit more and then just
• 20:06
  Speaker 13: your conversations with the conference too in terms of making
• 20:10
  Speaker 13: sure everything's okay?
• 20:12
  Speaker 12: That's a great question about these decisions. I probably am
• 20:18
  Speaker 12: in the minority of how I make decisions and probably
• 20:21
  Speaker 12: not what most coaches do. I feel like my decisions
• 20:25
  Speaker 12: should always be made in the best interest of the
• 20:28
  Speaker 12: players that sit in this team room and not but
• 20:32
  Speaker 12: for my reputation and how the decisions play in the
• 20:35
  Speaker 12: national media or other fan bases. I've never been that way,
• 20:39
  Speaker 12: and that could be wrong. It's probably part of my
• 20:40
  Speaker 12: story why it is the way it is. But those
• 20:43
  Speaker 12: players and the people that hire me always know he's
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: constantly trying to do the best thing for them. So
• 20:49
  Speaker 12: I struggled with it a lot. There's a lot of
• 20:53
  Speaker 12: factors into it and different things.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: And one that.
• 20:58
  Speaker 12: I struggled too was, okay, this late, even though that's
• 21:01
  Speaker 12: what you do in the NFL, And there's an argument
• 21:03
  Speaker 12: these players are paid like that. And it's what happened
• 21:06
  Speaker 12: yesterday in the NFL. New players come in and take
• 21:08
  Speaker 12: people's spots and added to rosters. And other guys have
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: been there working. So I met with our leadership committee
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: of our players. And I asked them, it's your team.
• 21:20
  Speaker 12: What do you want to do? If these players are
• 21:24
  Speaker 12: allowed to be added to rosters, what do you want
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: to do? And every one of them was emphatic about.
• 21:32
  Speaker 12: They can help us win, bring them. And, you know,
• 21:35
  Speaker 12: we understand that, you know, we have a team that's
• 21:38
  Speaker 12: practiced together, worked together all off season, but one of
• 21:42
  Speaker 12: them said, Hey, this is how it works at the
• 21:44
  Speaker 12: next level. And this is how the real world works.
• 21:47
  Speaker 12: There aren't days you can't bring employees into, um, certain
• 21:51
  Speaker 12: jobs to help the, help the company. So, um, that
• 21:55
  Speaker 12: made me feel a little better in the struggle and
• 21:57
  Speaker 12: being torn back and forth. Um, So we'll wait to
• 22:03
  Speaker 12: hear for more guidance. The SEC issued guidance in our
• 22:07
  Speaker 12: question about that they'll follow court orders. And so we'll
• 22:11
  Speaker 12: wait until this week to see if there's any more guidance.
• 22:14
  Speaker 12: And the question whether myself as the head coach of
• 22:18
  Speaker 12: football and will football follow SEC orders, I said it
• 22:21
  Speaker 12: earlier this morning when asked, of course we will.
• 22:25
  Speaker 14: Coach, do you like where your offense is at this point?
• 22:28
  Speaker 14: Do you feel like with being game week, do you
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: feel like you've had enough practice time? Are they gelling
• 22:33
  Speaker 14: the way you like or do you feel like the
• 22:34
  Speaker 14: defense might have to carry you a little bit?
• 22:37
  Speaker 12: I don't ever feel like we're there. Maybe that's a
• 22:40
  Speaker 12: good thing. I always feel like there's somewhere to improve
• 22:46
  Speaker 12: and there's something we haven't thought about. The mock game,
• 22:51
  Speaker 12: obviously against lesser competition because it's our service teams as
• 22:54
  Speaker 12: the other opponent went really well and we moved the
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: ball great. I'm excited to see them play. But at
• 23:01
  Speaker 12: the same time, you know, there's still a week of
• 23:03
  Speaker 12: practice here and still things to do and different things
• 23:08
  Speaker 12: to look at in offense, defense, especially to make sure
• 23:10
  Speaker 12: we're putting the best product out there for everyone Saturday.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: USA's safe pilot rewards safe.
• 23:18
  Speaker 15: These rules to cut out players coming from professional football
• 23:22
  Speaker 15: down to college, did The iron fist that they tried
• 23:27
  Speaker 15: to rule with, did that surprise you? Did that disappoint you?
• 23:29
  Speaker 15: I was just kind of interested in your reaction to
• 23:32
  Speaker 15: that and then the other conferences kind of following in foot.
• 23:36
  Speaker 12: Yeah, there was never a plan. First off, a lot
• 23:40
  Speaker 12: of athletes filed these injunctions or temporary restraining orders around
• 23:46
  Speaker 12: the country against the NCAA that were in this fifth
• 23:48
  Speaker 12: year and felt their attorneys and them felt they should
• 23:52
  Speaker 12: get that year back because of the NCAA not handling
• 23:54
  Speaker 12: it properly. So as they started to win these cases, obviously,
• 24:00
  Speaker 12: then came in conference rules. And so I don't think
• 24:03
  Speaker 12: it was very much a surprise. If you're those kids'
• 24:08
  Speaker 12: attorneys or those kids, they feel they have a court
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: order saying they can play, and now if they're restricted
• 24:12
  Speaker 12: by someone to not, they brought a court order against
• 24:17
  Speaker 12: the conference. So there's no intent, nor there ever was,
• 24:23
  Speaker 12: to play somebody that we're not supposed to in order
• 24:27
  Speaker 12: of an SEC rule. So I think, again, I'm not
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: the spokesperson. I think now you're waiting to see Thursday.
• 24:34
  Speaker 12: You know, the SEC had a stance, made a rule.
• 24:37
  Speaker 12: The judge felt that they couldn't do that to the players.
• 24:40
  Speaker 12: So we'll be practicing, focused on Clemson, and spending our
• 24:45
  Speaker 12: time on that all week. And they can figure out
• 24:49
  Speaker 12: the rest, and we'll just wait for guidance.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Right here towards the middle.
• 24:54
  Speaker 16: So what would be a realistic timeline for someone being
• 24:59
  Speaker 16: able to actually play in a game when you bring
• 25:00
  Speaker 16: them in that late?
• 25:01
  Speaker 17: I mean, could you have.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: People show up?
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: Are they here already?
• 25:04
  Speaker 16: When could they start practicing and when could they play?
• 25:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah, to clarify the rules. So the SEC has a rule,
• 25:14
  Speaker 12: which I think is the only conference, that we make
• 25:19
  Speaker 12: our list the day before the first competition for the
• 25:22
  Speaker 12: first game. So for almost everybody Friday. We have to
• 25:25
  Speaker 12: turn a list in of the 105 to the SEC,
• 25:27
  Speaker 12: and that is locked. That cannot move, from my understanding,
• 25:31
  Speaker 12: from our conference. So you've got to make decisions, unless
• 25:36
  Speaker 12: there's information I don't know, by Friday for that. No,
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: it's not your question, but I don't also look at,
• 25:46
  Speaker 12: you know, there's a lot of people say, well, how
• 25:47
  Speaker 12: could you take players then and then they'll be ready
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: for the game? It's a long season. So I don't,
• 25:53
  Speaker 12: in my opinion, just like in the NFL, they take
• 25:56
  Speaker 12: people in week one knowing that, hey, they'll have them
• 25:59
  Speaker 12: ready by week two, three, four, and then they'll be
• 26:02
  Speaker 12: playing their best and they'll know their system. So every
• 26:06
  Speaker 12: coach obviously runs their program the way they want to
• 26:10
  Speaker 12: and they see things differently, and I respect that. I
• 26:13
  Speaker 12: think that we create systems that help this for people
• 26:17
  Speaker 12: coming late. We did it last year. Trinidad got to
• 26:20
  Speaker 12: us in the summer last year. Not that much earlier
• 26:24
  Speaker 12: as a quarterback, so I think we could.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Do it with other players.
• 26:29
  Speaker 18: I do have a club manager question, but can you confirm,
• 26:32
  Speaker 18: are the players that are committed enrolled and are practicing?
• 26:39
  Speaker 12: I can tell you that Daquan practiced, and the SEC
• 26:43
  Speaker 12: knows that. We asked them before. Again, that's in no
• 26:46
  Speaker 12: violation of any previous rule or even the The rule
• 26:50
  Speaker 12: that's out there now, the new rule, does not prohibit that. And,
• 26:55
  Speaker 12: you know, strictly talks about that final roster when you
• 26:58
  Speaker 12: make your 105 Friday.
• 27:01
  Speaker 18: Dave Juan's the only one practicing?
• 27:03
  Speaker 12: He was the only one practicing, yes.
• 27:06
  Speaker 18: Chad Morris and Christopher Vazina?
• 27:08
  Speaker 12: Well, in that, I mean, I guess we should clarify
• 27:10
  Speaker 12: the question so I can give you the right answer.
• 27:14
  Speaker 12: Junior practiced, and he's in the same court hearings. So
• 27:19
  Speaker 12: I guess if the question is of the kids around
• 27:22
  Speaker 12: the country that are in hearing and potential players, uh,
• 27:25
  Speaker 12: who has practiced and be day quantum junior.
• 27:29
  Speaker 18: Chad Morris and Christopher Vazina with new on Clemson. Um,
• 27:33
  Speaker 18: how do you prepare for them? And maybe a thought
• 27:35
  Speaker 18: on Vazina, what little we've seen of him.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:38
  Speaker 12: I remember from high school, actually watched him work out, um,
• 27:41
  Speaker 12: really talented, really throws well on the move. Um, you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 12: so that's a really good combination of them coming in
• 27:47
  Speaker 12: together and, and us having to figure out what are
• 27:50
  Speaker 12: they going to do because you don't know. The coach
• 27:52
  Speaker 12: hasn't called for a little bit of time, and so
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: we're not sure exactly what they'll look like, and that's
• 27:57
  Speaker 12: always scary. But this will be about us practicing really
• 28:02
  Speaker 12: well and then playing really well in a really exciting environment,
• 28:05
  Speaker 12: but going back to not all the hype and just
• 28:08
  Speaker 12: the preparation of it and playing really well in our
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: first game together.
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: Lane's not into the hype. He doesn't really like the hype.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Getting his team prepared to play the fighting Davos. Big
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: game for Davos. Were they 5-7 last year, I think?
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: That game is at 6-30. So if you're going to
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the Aggie game, you'll have to set the recorder if
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you care.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: 6-30 on ABC.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: A & M' s on ESPN at 6.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: The Battle of the Tigers... At 6.30. So, 5-7. Was
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: I right about that, Stan? They were, for the overall record, 7-6. Oh, 7-6.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: Better than I thought.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Well, that's not championship level. It hasn't been for a
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: little while. And I'm a Davo fan, by the way.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I like Davo.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: And.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: When everything was swirling last year, Davos said, hey, fire me.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I'll go somewhere else and win. And eventually that's probably
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: going to happen. We've talked about this, but once you
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: get to the top, man, staying to the top is
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: just darn near impossible.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Very.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: Very few can do it.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And then once it starts going down, it is really
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: hard to get back. And of course, by then, all
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the fan base is totally spoiled.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you want to you play for two more.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: And we're seven and six. We need somebody else. And
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: that'll happen, I'm sure. Sevchak Service Center, 2200 Longmire, just
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: down from the post office in College Station, is open
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: until six this evening. You might need some new windshield wipers.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: You might not have used yours for like three months.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: And they have been hard and crusty, sit baking in
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: that heat. And you turned them on last night or
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit today and went, hey.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: I can't see.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: They'll install them while you wait there, right there at
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the gasoline pump. They do a lot more than that.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: If you've got more serious issues, if you're going on
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the road, they're open Saturday, by the way, from 7
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: to 4. So drop by and see Pat and the staff.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: They're carrying on the long Sevchek's family tradition. It's Sevchek
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Service Center, 2200 Longmire, just down from the post office.
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: In College Station.
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: This is C & J Barbecue.
• 31:05
  Speaker 12: Okay, so for the ad, I'm thinking fog machines, laser lights,
• 31:09
  Speaker 12: maybe a.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Do kids eat free?
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Uh, yes.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: Like, actually free?
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: Yes, every Wednesday night.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: So I can get free barbecue?
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: That's how kids eat free works, buddy.
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: Wednesday's my favorite day now!
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: See?
• 31:22
  Speaker 12: No fog machine needed.
• 31:23
  Speaker 11: Oh, man.
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: Kids eat free every Wednesday night at C & J Barbecue.
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: Great food, happy kids, C & J Barbecue. Because dinner
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: shouldn't be another battle.

• 32:34
  Speaker 19: Welcome into the High School Report. I'm Caleb Rapley, and
• 32:37
  Speaker 19: today we are jumping out to the Polaris Fun Center
• 32:39
  Speaker 19: phone line to visit with the head coach of the
• 32:42
  Speaker 19: Iola Bulldogs football team, Mr.
• 32:45
  Speaker 18: Eric Blunden.
• 32:46
  Speaker 19: Coach, thanks for joining me today.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Appreciate you having me. Yes, sir.
• 32:50
  Speaker 19: Well, we are into the thick of the high school
• 32:54
  Speaker 19: football season here in Texas. Week one in the books
• 32:58
  Speaker 19: now officially. And for your Iowa Bulldogs, the first season
• 33:02
  Speaker 19: of a new era of Iowa football moving up from
• 33:05
  Speaker 19: 2A Division II up to 2A Division I. Started the
• 33:09
  Speaker 19: season off last weekend, unfortunately taking the loss to Buffalo,
• 33:12
  Speaker 19: a 3A school. But how is this offseason for you, Coach?
• 33:16
  Speaker 19: And how are you handling this transition moving up from
• 33:19
  Speaker 19: D2 to D1?
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been kind of a, you know, not a
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: normal transition most schools take from, you know, a smaller
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: division to a bigger division. I mean, we obviously have,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: you know, some more kids in our enrollment than we did,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: you know, the previous years. But, you know, we graduated
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: a gigantic, heavy senior class last year on a pretty
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: successful team. And, you know, we are very young this year.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: So it makes it kind of a double whammy when
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: you're already young and now you're young and moving up. Now,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: nobody's going to feel sorry for us, so we can't
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: sit around and say, oh, we're going to figure it out.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: But the kids are doing a great job of kind
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: of learning on the job here, and we're just going
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: to have to keep getting better every week. That's really
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: all these first couple of games are for anyways before
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: you get to the start of district play. We've just
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: got to find a way to individually get better, which
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: in turn makes all.
• 34:15
  Speaker 18: Of us better.
• 34:16
  Speaker 19: So you were dropped into District 14 to a Division 1,
• 34:20
  Speaker 19: so staying in Region 4. But this district, I'm not
• 34:23
  Speaker 19: going to say it's a weak district, but these are
• 34:25
  Speaker 19: a lot of teams that had a lot of players
• 34:27
  Speaker 19: graduate this past season. I really think that there is
• 34:30
  Speaker 19: a pretty big opportunity for your Bulldogs. So what are
• 34:33
  Speaker 19: your thoughts on who some of the biggest contenders are?
• 34:37
  Speaker 19: I know Centerville is a perennial power, but they started
• 34:40
  Speaker 19: off their season with a loss as well. So what
• 34:42
  Speaker 19: do you think about the landscape of District 14?
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I think from the outside looking in, you know, on paper,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: it looks like it's pretty wide open and, you know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't disagree with that. But, you know, Centerville is
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: one of those teams that's, you know, they're always going
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: to be good. They've been good for the last 15,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: 20 years and they're going to figure it out. And,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: you know, Leon had a very great year, you know,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: last year, you know, graduated a bunch of guys, but
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: they're still pretty senior heavy. And, you know, you start
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: looking down the line, you know, the Corgan Camden and
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Love Lady and, and growth in it and people like that,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: you know, and, and you go back and look at
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: their history, they're all pretty successful football programs. So, you know, there's, there's,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: you know, I think every week's kind of a, you know,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: you're going to have to look up in our district
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: and say, all right, who beat who? Because I think
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: they're all going to be very competitive games. I don't
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: think there's necessarily a front runner like some of the
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: other districts that you can probably look at, but, you know,
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: it should be a wild and kind of wacky ride
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: for the, you know, when we get to that part
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: of the schedule for everybody, just because there is a
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: lot of unknowns, you know, for everybody. And so, you know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: it's going to be all about who can get, you know,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: their team the best ready to play in the next
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: four weeks. And, And then, you know, hopefully you're healthy
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: going into a Friday night. I think this is a
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: very competitive district. I think, you know, whoever gets in
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: one through four, I think they're all going to have
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: chances to win a playoff game.
• 36:09
  Speaker 19: So you mentioned a pretty young squad for the Bulldogs
• 36:12
  Speaker 19: this year. Who are some players that have stepped up,
• 36:15
  Speaker 19: some younger players, to fill the holes that were left
• 36:18
  Speaker 19: by those graduating seniors?
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we graduated our whole offensive line, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: I don't care if you're in– Six man or if
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: you're up in 6A, you graduate a whole offensive line.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: That's usually the place that comes together. It takes the
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: most time to come together because it's so important. I
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: don't care what kind of offense you're running. We've had
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: a couple guys step up there. Jack Smith has done
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: a great job of doing anything and everything we've asked
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: him to do. Leighton Bailey has done a great job
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: of stepping up on that offensive line. And, you know,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: on the back end, you know, we got a first
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: year sophomore starter quarterback and, you know, playing quarterbacks hard.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: You know, if it was easy, every NFL team would
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: have a really good quarterback and they wouldn't switch every
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: two years. And so that's a position that. you just,
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: you have to play it to get better at it.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: And there's a lot of things he hasn't seen yet,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: but he's doing a good job. And that's Colton Sajewski.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: You know, he's doing a great job of kind of
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: learning on the fly here as well. So it's just,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: you know, one of those things where I think we're
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: going to see gigantic leaps and bounds over the next
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: two or three games with our team, because there's a
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: lot of stuff they just haven't seen yet. And the
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: only way to see it is get out there and
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: play and make mistakes that learn from them and don't
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: do them again the next week.
• 37:36
  Speaker 19: One of the most impactful players from last season is
• 37:41
  Speaker 19: on the team in 2026, running back Adrian Garrett, the
• 37:44
  Speaker 19: centerpiece of the offense last year as he ran for 1,200 yards,
• 37:48
  Speaker 19: 15 touchdowns. How impactful is it to have a player
• 37:51
  Speaker 19: like that returning when a team is this young? How
• 37:54
  Speaker 19: big of a difference can that one player make?
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we're asking a lot of him, you know, because,
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: you know, last year, you know, we had three guys
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: all get close to over 1,000 yards rushing football. And
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: so teams kind of had to, you know, they kind
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: of had to do something besides just watch one guy.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: And our offensive line, like I said, was senior heavy
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: last year, so they can move a lot of people.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: And so this year, everything's kind of, you know, everybody's
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: looking at him, not only us, but the other team
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: as well. And, you know, those holes may not be
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: as big as they were, you know, like they were
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: last year. So, you know, we're relying on him to
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: kind of, you know, anchor us down, if you will,
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: you know, especially here early until we can kind of
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: figure out who our next kind of playmaker is going
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: to be. And, you know, hopefully we can get him
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: going this Friday and continue after the season. But he's
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: done a great job of, of kind of leading those
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: younger guys and not getting frustrated with certain things, but
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: trying to do it the correct way. So we need
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: him to be a big piece for us to be successful.
• 38:59
  Speaker 19: Second week of non-district play on tap here Friday night,
• 39:03
  Speaker 19: going on the road to play Cypress Christian. So what
• 39:07
  Speaker 19: do you expect to see from them?
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the funny thing about the tap schools
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: this year is They actually started a week ahead of us.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: So this is their third game. So, you know, they're
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: kind of a game up on us, you know, as
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: far as experience, which right now, you know, like we
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: alluded to, you know, every every snap is so important
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: for us right now. You know, they they were very
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: successful last year. You know, they, they've had a good
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: kind of program in the taps division in Texas. And,
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: you know, they, they do a good job of slinging
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: the ball around and, and, It's kind of the exact
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: opposite of what we played this past week where Buffalo
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: was coming right at us. Cypress Christian is going to
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: throw the ball a little bit more. It'll be a
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: good test for our young guys on the back end
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: to kind of see something different than they saw the
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: week before. Anytime you go on the road, it's hard
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: to win. This is kind of the first time for
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: any of these guys to really go on the road
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: on a Friday night. And, you know, it's going to
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: be a great opportunity for us to kind of evaluate
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: the other parts of our team that didn't get a
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: lot of action the other day. So, you know, hopefully
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: we use it as a learning experience, however it goes,
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: win or loss, and learn from it and move on.
• 40:18
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I know you like to keep it one game
• 40:20
  Speaker 19: at a time, but next week is also a very
• 40:24
  Speaker 19: intriguing matchup as you take on your former district bunkmate,
• 40:28
  Speaker 19: the Burton Panthers. beat them 37 to 36 last year
• 40:31
  Speaker 19: so i know that's going to be a pretty intense
• 40:34
  Speaker 19: game uh that's something you were happy about being able
• 40:37
  Speaker 19: to schedule one of your former district bunk mates in
• 40:39
  Speaker 19: a non-district play.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah you know coach over there burton's been doing it
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: for a long time and burton you know they've had
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: a you know rich history in in football and and
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: uh you know they they got a very you know
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: they returned a lot of guys from that team from
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: last year so you know they're going to be pretty
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: good and And they're kind of a unique opportunity to
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: play somebody that you're kind of used to a little bit.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: You've kind of been playing each other, you know, all
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: the way up from junior high to now. And, you know,
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: it'll be a good test for us because, you know,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: their team, like I said, is very senior heavy. You know,
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: but it'll be good to kind of keep that thing going.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: And if nothing more, just because I know how well
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: they're coached and how hard they play. And that was
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: kind of the whole, thought process with our non-district slate.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: All four teams we played are playing in non-district, are
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: either bigger than us or all went, made it to
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: the playoffs last year. So we went with kind of
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: the theory of, hey, we're going to see the best
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: early on, so we make sure we're ready for whenever
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: district rolls around.
• 41:48
  Speaker 19: All right, Coach. Well, I appreciate your time today and
• 41:50
  Speaker 19: good luck this season.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Go Dawgs.

  Speaker 5: and never play music again.
• 46:41
  Speaker 7: You'd call me a fool if I grabbed up the
• 46:44
  Speaker 7: top hat and ran out to flag down the wind.
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: I'd have to be weird.
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: To grow me a beard.
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: Just to see what the rednecks would do. But it'd
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: have to be crazy to.
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: Plot out my mind To fall.
• 47:10
  Speaker 15: Out of love with.
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: You I know I've done weird things I've told people
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: I heard things When silence was all that abounds Been
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: days when it pleased me to be on my knees.
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: Following ants as they crawl across the ground Been insane
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: on a train, but I'm still me again And.
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: The place where I hold you is true So I
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: know I'm alright Cause it'd have to be crazy to
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: fall out Welcome back.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: So that first voice you hear is Stephen Frumholz. And
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: the story is that this is a Stephen Frumholtz song
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: and Willie didn't know all the words. And so Frumholtz
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: was singing them and Willie was following. And at the end,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: the producer said, OK, now, Willie, you go ahead. We'll
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: take that Frumholtz out. Willie said, no, no, no, no, no.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: We're leaving Steve Frumholtz in this record. And that record
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: made Steve Frumholtz a lot of money. and introduced him
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: to a whole wider audience when that song came out.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier in the show, I saw Stephen
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Frumholtz sing that song with Stephen Stills back in 1972.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you all this in case you missed it
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: because I went to the preview of The Man with
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: the Big Hat last night, the documentary by filmmaker Austin Sayre,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: which hopefully will get into wide release.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: won Best Documentary at the San Antonio Film Festival. It
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: was debuted at South by Southwest in March, and it
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: was played last night on the A & M campus
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: with Lyle Lovett because he is a big part of
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: that documentary. Okay, let's hear a little bit from Skip Schumacher,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: who tries to explain the loss of to the terrible
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Oakland A's yesterday. He will talk about Cody Bradford, who
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: was awful, the fact that they got a lead, which
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: this season they've been almost unbeatable with a lead. They
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: hit two home runs. And then he'll talk about the
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: fact that they gave up eight unanswered runs in the third, fourth,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: and fifth inning.
• 50:27
  Speaker 17: I evaluated as we had a good series, and we
• 50:29
  Speaker 17: won two out of three. We would have liked to
• 50:32
  Speaker 17: have won today, but, you know, two out of three
• 50:34
  Speaker 17: was a good start to a homestand, and obviously we
• 50:39
  Speaker 17: have a tough series ahead of us, so, you know,
• 50:42
  Speaker 17: it was important to win the series at least. Yeah,
• 50:44
  Speaker 17: Cody's fastball at the top got hit, you know, a
• 50:48
  Speaker 17: couple home runs, you know, middle up, opposite field, and
• 50:52
  Speaker 17: then obviously a poolside home run, and Some longer counts,
• 50:56
  Speaker 17: 85 pitches through four, so had to get them out
• 50:59
  Speaker 17: of there, try to keep us within striking distance, and,
• 51:02
  Speaker 17: you know, unfortunately they hit another home run, so just
• 51:06
  Speaker 17: couldn't really stop the bleeding. But, yeah, six of the seven,
• 51:11
  Speaker 17: you know, hard hits were off the fastball at the top,
• 51:13
  Speaker 17: and just, you know, kind of the location was the
• 51:16
  Speaker 17: issue today. Thought we were going to, you know, come out,
• 51:21
  Speaker 17: obviously with Duran hitting the home run to lead off
• 51:23
  Speaker 17: the game was, you know, great to see and I
• 51:26
  Speaker 17: thought we were just going to keep continuing to add
• 51:28
  Speaker 17: on and Foscue hit another home run and then just
• 51:31
  Speaker 17: had trouble with the cutter and the slider after that
• 51:33
  Speaker 17: with Lopez so yeah overall just kind of tough game
• 51:37
  Speaker 17: got to flush it quick to be ready tomorrow. Yeah
• 51:40
  Speaker 17: very similar I think they have really good starting pitching
• 51:43
  Speaker 17: a very good back end bullpen and bullpen in general
• 51:48
  Speaker 17: and you know they have an MVP candidate at third
• 51:50
  Speaker 17: base with then they played some small ball with some
• 51:53
  Speaker 17: speed so I think their run prevention is what makes
• 51:57
  Speaker 17: them really good as well. I mean, they're flying around
• 51:59
  Speaker 17: the outfield and catching everything. So their record is their
• 52:03
  Speaker 17: record for a reason. They pitch and play defense first
• 52:06
  Speaker 17: and foremost with some ways to beat you on the
• 52:08
  Speaker 17: offensive side. So we have just played a similar team.
• 52:11
  Speaker 17: We played Tampa Bay not that long ago, right after
• 52:15
  Speaker 17: the break as well. So we have an idea. But, yeah,
• 52:17
  Speaker 17: it's going to be a fun series, and I'm looking
• 52:20
  Speaker 17: forward to seeing what it looks like tomorrow.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're all looking forward to what it looks like
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay Rays coming in. Tampa's maybe the
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: best team in the American League, actually.
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: They're really good.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I got to see them when they hosted the Rangers,
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: and the Rangers actually won a game in Tampa last
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: unfortunately they play four games this series.
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: That's the bad news. The good news is they're at home.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Where they've been a little bit better, but this is
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: nothing more than a barely 500 team. And every time
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: they try to get back to 500, they lose. Uh, honestly,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, it would be a huge deal if the
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Rangers could split this four game series. Um, There are
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: 22 games left in the regular season. But who's counting?
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: There's 22 games left in the regular season.
• 53:33
  Speaker 11: Now, look.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Now, we're not going to play Joe Espada because that
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: was from last night, and they've already won again today.
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: Did they sweep? They took three out of four from
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: the White Sox?
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: Man, that just sucks. And I have... Wait a minute.
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: I have an Astro cheat sheet.
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: No.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: They've won two out of three. They played the White
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Sox again. Oh, they played them this afternoon. That's what
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: this cheat sheet is for.
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: And what was it?
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: 6-2?
• 54:08
  Speaker 18: Yes.
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: Good God.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: What has happened to the White Sox? Well, they look
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: great against the Rangers.
• 54:17
  Speaker 6: I mean, they.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: They did fine against the Rangers. The Astros are 72-69.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: So they're three games over. 500 right now.
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: They are 52-38 since May 22nd. And the Red Sox
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: are 53-38.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Which is the best record in the American League since
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: May 22nd. And the Yankees are third on that list. Now,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: they haven't gotten Judge back yet, right? He hasn't played yet, right?
• 54:57
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: The Yankees are up there. I really do think the
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Rays are probably the best team. They're pretty loaded in
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: the bullpen. Their starting pitching isn't bad either.
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: They don't.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Crush the ball but it doesn't matter that they bunt
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: a lot because whatever their formula is they win and
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: i think they're pretty solid all right we're.
