  Speaker 1: Did you receive a call or message that mentioned Social
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Security and demanded immediate action? Did the caller know your
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Social Security number or other personal information and tell you
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: that your Social Security number had been used in connection
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: with the crime? Did you feel worried that your Social
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Security number might be suspended, your bank account might be
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: frozen or seized, or you could be arrested? That is
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: not the Social Security Administration. Social Security will not threaten you,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: demand your personal information or instant payment, email or text
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: you pictures or documents, or use a real government official's

  Speaker 1: name to gain your trust. Social Security does not accept
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: payments by gift card, prepaid debit card, internet currency, or
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: by mailing cash. Criminals use these forms of payment because
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: they are hard to trace.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Do not be fooled.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Hang up.

• 2:34
  Speaker 11: This portion of the program brought to you by Central
• 2:37
  Speaker 11: Texas Sports Medicine. I don't think it's any secret whose
• 2:42
  Speaker 11: music we are playing today, The Death of a Legend.
• 2:46
  Speaker 11: Mallory will be along at 5.30, and we will talk
• 2:50
  Speaker 11: about the life of Dolly Parton and play some incredible
• 2:55
  Speaker 11: music from her today. We don't have nearly enough time
• 2:58
  Speaker 11: to play everything that she has written and done.
• 3:02
  Speaker 10: In the course of her career. Coming up.
• 3:05
  Speaker 11: We have got a high school report. We have got
• 3:08
  Speaker 11: our final SEC preview. It's not a preview. It's a prediction.
• 3:15
  Speaker 11: And it's not really a prediction. It's a fact.
• 3:18
  Speaker 10: We've never been wrong. It is the most.
• 3:21
  Speaker 11: Listened to radio segment in the world, we've determined. I
• 3:24
  Speaker 11: will give my predictions of how everybody in the league
• 3:28
  Speaker 11: will finish coming up at the bottom of the hour.
• 3:32
  Speaker 11: We're going to hear from defensive lineman T.J. Searcy and
• 3:35
  Speaker 11: the second-hour defensive coordinator Lyle Hemphill. And as I mentioned,
• 3:41
  Speaker 11: Mallory will be with us at the bottom of the
• 3:44
  Speaker 11: hour to talk about Dolly. And at 6 o'clock, we
• 3:49
  Speaker 11: have got Astros, Yankees, baseball, and the Astros are now
• 3:55
  Speaker 11: in second place in the AL West because the Rangers
• 3:59
  Speaker 11: are kicking ass. But they've won three out of four,
• 4:03
  Speaker 11: and they're actually at 500, I believe. 66-66 with 30
• 4:11
  Speaker 11: games to play. Oh, and we've got a little promo
• 4:17
  Speaker 11: about what's coming ahead starting next week. Most of you
• 4:20
  Speaker 11: who follow us can figure that out. Pete Thamel is reporting.
• 4:25
  Speaker 11: The Big Ten rule banning NFL players has passed with
• 4:31
  Speaker 11: unanimous approval by faculty reps, underclassmen who declared for the
• 4:37
  Speaker 11: NFL and did not withdraw, and any football player who
• 4:42
  Speaker 11: signed a contract with a pro sports league and anyone
• 4:46
  Speaker 11: who is officially on a professional roster will not be
• 4:50
  Speaker 11: eligible to play in the Big Ten. In the SEC,
• 4:55
  Speaker 11: the presidents and chancellors released a statement yesterday saying, oh,
• 5:02
  Speaker 11: we don't like this at all. And Lane Kiffin talking
• 5:08
  Speaker 11: to Pat McAfee today says, I think you're going to
• 5:13
  Speaker 11: get in an interesting situation where as a conference you're saying,
• 5:17
  Speaker 11: We're going to follow this court order, but these kids
• 5:20
  Speaker 11: that got that other court order, we're going to say, no,
• 5:23
  Speaker 11: you can't. Kiffin said, tied in to Quan Wright, who
• 5:29
  Speaker 11: was cut from Cleveland, chose LSU over other schools, but
• 5:34
  Speaker 11: he would not say.
• 5:36
  Speaker 10: Who those schools were.
• 5:41
  Speaker 11: People you know who should know better call from 4
• 5:44
  Speaker 11: to 6 o'clock. S, let's see. Greg Sankey, according to
• 5:53
  Speaker 11: league bylaws and or presidents of the SEC, do hold
• 5:57
  Speaker 11: authority to deem a player ineligible to fine and suspend coaches, etc.
• 6:06
  Speaker 11: Ross Dellinger says the SEC athletic directors say will be
• 6:11
  Speaker 11: expected to not accept pro players under the threat of penalty.
• 6:19
  Speaker 11: They may be put on double secret probation. Rangers White Sox,
• 6:25
  Speaker 11: game two of their series. Jacob DeGrom is on the
• 6:29
  Speaker 11: mound for Texas. I mentioned the Rangers are 66 up
• 6:35
  Speaker 11: and 66 down and in sole possession of first place
• 6:40
  Speaker 11: in the AL West for the first time since July
• 6:44
  Speaker 11: the 30th. A commanding half game lead over the Astros
• 6:49
  Speaker 11: who are 65 and 66 and playing with a manager
• 6:55
  Speaker 11: who will be fired.
• 6:57
  Speaker 10: At the end of the year. and an interim general manager.
• 7:04
  Speaker 11: Rookie right-hander Ethan Pekka will make his second career start
• 7:08
  Speaker 11: tonight against Will Warren of the Yankees. As I mentioned,
• 7:13
  Speaker 11: we will carry that broadcast here on The Zone at
• 7:19
  Speaker 11: 6 o'clock when we are finished this evening.
• 7:23
  Speaker 10: The U.S. Open is underway.
• 7:25
  Speaker 11: In fact, Serena Williams and Carlos Alcarez are playing mixed
• 7:31
  Speaker 11: doubles today.
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: I think they've already played. Is this a tape?
• 7:36
  Speaker 11: I thought that I'd already seen they'd already played, but
• 7:38
  Speaker 11: maybe not. PGA CEO and Commissioner Brian Rolap said today
• 7:47
  Speaker 11: the tour has no current plan to bring back the
• 7:52
  Speaker 11: returning member program, which would be a pathway for live
• 7:58
  Speaker 11: golfers to return to the PGA. The live future, of course,
• 8:03
  Speaker 11: is in doubt. Five-time major Brooks Koepka used the program
• 8:09
  Speaker 11: to come back to the tour in January after leaving live.
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: He agreed to forfeit player equity shares for the next
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: five years.
• 8:19
  Speaker 10: Is not eligible for the.
• 8:21
  Speaker 11: FedExCup bonus program this season and agreed to make a
• 8:26
  Speaker 11: $ 5 million donation to charity. It's short-sighted and stupid for
• 8:34
  Speaker 11: the PGA to penalize these guys, but hey, that's just
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: my opinion.
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: What do I know?
• 8:40
  Speaker 11: Meanwhile, the PGA Tour's future postseason... will include a 72-hole
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: stroke play tournament that will finalize the points list and
• 8:53
  Speaker 11: determine the season-long champ, followed by the top golfers competing
• 8:59
  Speaker 11: in match play over two weeks. Commissioner Rolap announced those
• 9:05
  Speaker 11: changes during a news conference today at Eastlake, where the
• 9:09
  Speaker 11: FedEx Cup Finals begin on Thursday.
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: The new postseason will make its debut in 2028.
• 9:17
  Speaker 11: Perhaps by then, they'll have a chance to get a
• 9:20
  Speaker 11: new sponsor because FedEx is done after this year. Rolap
• 9:26
  Speaker 11: told ESPN, I think one of the issues with the
• 9:29
  Speaker 11: Tour Championship was, I don't think anyone really felt it
• 9:32
  Speaker 11: was culminating in crowning the best golfer in the world.
• 9:36
  Speaker 11: I feel like calling it the playoffs was doing it
• 9:39
  Speaker 11: a disservice because it was just a competition. I think
• 9:43
  Speaker 11: we've established how you determine the best golfer in the world,
• 9:46
  Speaker 11: and then we've established a really great competition and format
• 9:49
  Speaker 11: that fans would like to see. The Tour Championship will
• 9:54
  Speaker 11: include the top 90 players from the season-long points list.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: The final points list after that event will determine the
• 10:03
  Speaker 11: season-long champion and.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: How they distribute the bonus.
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: As it is right now, the top 30 players will
• 10:12
  Speaker 11: compete this weekend in four rounds, and the winner will
• 10:17
  Speaker 11: get the $ 10 million bonus. In past years, the points
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: champion went into the tournament with as much as a
• 10:28
  Speaker 11: 10-stroke lead. It was a hinky, weird, wild thing that
• 10:34
  Speaker 11: nobody could keep up with.
• 10:37
  Speaker 10: This isn't much better.
• 10:38
  Speaker 11: As I mentioned, the winner of one tournament gets a
• 10:41
  Speaker 11: $ 10 million bonus and is declared the FedEx Cup champ
• 10:45
  Speaker 11: at All that means is he won one tournament among
• 10:50
  Speaker 11: the 30 so-called best golfers. But, of course, three or
• 10:54
  Speaker 11: four of the best golfers are still in live, and
• 10:58
  Speaker 11: the PGA apparently isn't going to let him back easily. So, anyway,
• 11:04
  Speaker 11: the stupidity continues in that sport.
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 11:10
  Speaker 11: Tomorrow, Scott Clendenin will join me. Mallory will be back tomorrow. Thursday,
• 11:16
  Speaker 11: we'll have another high school report. We'll have our Clark
• 11:19
  Speaker 11: Eisenhower Outdoor Edition. We're going to have our annual visit
• 11:24
  Speaker 11: with Billy Lambert, wildlife biologist, to talk about what is
• 11:30
  Speaker 11: in store for the hunting season, which starts in Texas
• 11:34
  Speaker 11: September 1st with dove. We'll go in October to bow
• 11:38
  Speaker 11: hunting for deer and then in November.
• 11:41
  Speaker 10: For rifle deer hunting.
• 11:43
  Speaker 11: We will talk to Billy about what is going on
• 11:46
  Speaker 11: locally and throughout the state as we try to do
• 11:50
  Speaker 11: every year at this time of year.
• 11:53
  Speaker 10: So we got that going on for us.
• 11:56
  Speaker 11: And then Friday, Kurt Bowles and Tony Catalina return to
• 12:02

  Speaker 18: Welcome into the High School Report. I'm Caleb Rapley, and
• 16:26
  Speaker 18: today we are jumping out to the Polaris Fund Center
• 16:28
  Speaker 18: phone line to visit with the head coach of the
• 16:31
  Speaker 18: Bryan Vikings football team, Mr.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Blake Joseph.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Coach, thanks for.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Joining me today.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Thanks for having me.
• 16:38
  Speaker 18: Going into your first season at the head coaching position
• 16:43
  Speaker 18: for your alma mater, Bryan announced you were hiring back
• 16:47
  Speaker 18: in January, so you have had pretty much a full
• 16:50
  Speaker 18: offseason to get settled in. But how has it been
• 16:54
  Speaker 18: for you so far?
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: It's been good. I got down here at the beginning
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: of February this past year, 2026, you know, spring season basically.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: We've got some things implemented as far as our, you know,
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: how our kids train and get in the weight room
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: going and then obviously going through spring football and now
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: we're in the midst of it, starting fall camp and
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: then going through summer workouts as well with our kids.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: And I'm enjoying it. Our kids are working hard. We
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: have a long ways to go. We're not the most
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: talented bunch, but I've been telling them since we got
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: here if we, you know, work extremely hard and play
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: very hard will give ourselves a chance to win.
• 17:32
  Speaker 18: So it is your first year as the head coach
• 17:36
  Speaker 18: at Bryan after a legendary career, both at Bryan High
• 17:41
  Speaker 18: and a few stops in college football as well. And
• 17:46
  Speaker 18: then your assistant coaching career started. You've been in a
• 17:50
  Speaker 18: lot of really very successful programs, including Denton Guyer. Magnolia West.
• 17:56
  Speaker 18: What are you planning to bring from all of this
• 17:58
  Speaker 18: experience back home to Bryan?
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: Really, I've been everywhere. I've been all over the state
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: of Texas. I've been to, you know, Dallas-Fort Worth area.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: I've been to the North Houston area. And then I
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: also had a stop in Temple in Central Texas, who's
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: in our district. And so I bring a lot of
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: knowledge of just understanding the state of Texas and what
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: works and what does not work at certain programs. Every
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: culture is different. but I've been around, like I said,
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: all over the state of Texas, and I've gotten to
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: know a lot of people, people from different cultures, different backgrounds,
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: and like I said, every place is different, but as
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: far as my knowledge of football and the game, it's
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: grown a lot. I've been doing this for a long
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: time now, and I'm continuing to grow. You can't stop growing.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: You always got to continue learning and pushing forward and
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: adapting to the new areas of football.
• 18:48
  Speaker 18: So you take over a Brian squad that unfortunately has
• 18:53
  Speaker 18: not made the playoffs since 2022. What is your plan to,
• 18:56
  Speaker 18: you know, kind of rebuild this program and get it
• 18:59
  Speaker 18: back to where it was when you were a player?
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: You know, I have a lot of belief in Brian.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: I grew up here. Loved being a Viking. Small when
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: I was a young kid, you know, coming to Friday
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: night lights here was a spectacular thing because back then
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: it was just a one horse town. And, you know,
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: across the way was A & M Consolidated. They were
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: the only one horse town in College Station 2. And
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: so I always dreamed about playing here when I was younger,
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: playing quarterback here. And so it's a very unique place
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: for me. The cool thing is a lot of people
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: that are my age now have kids coming up either
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: elementary or middle school or high school. And I wanted
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: to see it return back into its heyday, what it
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: used to be. I think we can get it done here.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: It's going to take a lot of work and a
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: lot of effort by you know, myself and my coaching
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: staff and also the community of Brian. You know, they've
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: got to do things to help our programs. And I
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: think there's a lot of good people here still. It's
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: a great place to raise a family. My parents are
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: still here. My wife's parents, they live in College Station.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: She is from A & E Consolidated. And I feel
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: like this place can be unique again as it once was,
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: you know, mid-90s to early 2000s.
• 20:11
  Speaker 18: Your Viking squad this year only returning six starters from 2025.
• 20:17
  Speaker 18: So does that change your mindset coming into year one,
• 20:20
  Speaker 18: knowing that there's going to be a lot of growing
• 20:22
  Speaker 18: pains and a lot of young players starting on varsity?
• 20:26
  Speaker 18: Does that change your mindset coming into this?
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know if it'll change our mindset. We're going
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: to be young. It is what it is. We got
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: who we got. We're in high school. We don't get
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: to recruit. the kids walking through our hallways, the kids
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: we're going to coach our tails off with. And, you know,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: we're going to be a young team, but I think
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: if we, like I said earlier, if we learn how
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: to work hard and we have been getting better at
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: that and we learn how to play hard, we'll give
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: ourselves a chance to scratch off some games here. But
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: the biggest thing is just getting out there every day,
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: getting better, you know, planning for the future and making
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: sure that, you know, we give our kids the best
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: opportunity to win, getting them in the right spots.
• 21:07
  Speaker 18: So in the past years, Brian has been more of
• 21:10
  Speaker 18: a running, ground-and-pound-focused sort of team. Is that what you're
• 21:16
  Speaker 18: going to bring to the table, or are you going
• 21:17
  Speaker 18: to change it up?
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: I bring a different style of offense, but every year,
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: this is high school football, you just don't have a
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: system in place every year. We have our own base
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: plays that we run every year, but at the same time,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: you've got to adjust to the personnel that you have.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: You might be having some years where you have a
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: really good quarterback and you're slinging it everywhere and you've
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: got some good receivers. In other years, you might not
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: have such a great quarterback, and you've got to learn
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: to run the ball and run the quarterback and adjust
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: to your personnel year in and year out because, like
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: I said, we are in high school football. We don't
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: have to recruit our kids. So your philosophy is always
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: changing year to year. Uniquely, I do like to run
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: the ball, but I like to throw it around too
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: as well. It's just finding a good balance for the
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: players that you do have.
• 22:05
  Speaker 18: Your season opener will be your first home game as
• 22:09
  Speaker 18: the head coach, and taking on Magnolia West, a team
• 22:13
  Speaker 18: that you were a part of that program for five years,
• 22:18
  Speaker 18: offensive coordinator and head coach. How much of an advantage
• 22:20
  Speaker 18: is that, being familiar with that team coming into the
• 22:24
  Speaker 18: season opener?
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, familiar with the area for sure. I mean, I
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: haven't been there in half a decade, so I don't
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: know any of those kids anymore. But I do have
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: a couple coaches on staff that are still there that
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: worked for me when I was there. They got kids
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: that play really hard and they work their tails off.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: They're going to give you everything they got and they're
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: going to play extremely hard and probably have a couple
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: big O-linemen, but we'll see when we see them on tape.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: I think they're scrimmaging Waller today or they scrimmaged Waller yesterday,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: excuse me, because they didn't go through spring football and
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: they got another scrimmage next week. I'm familiar with them,
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: familiar with that area. It's changed a lot since I
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: lived there, but that team and those kids will play
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: extremely hard.
• 23:10
  Speaker 18: And another non-district game that's got a lot of buzz
• 23:13
  Speaker 18: around it is your Week 4 matchup, which, you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 18: is listed as a road game, but it will be
• 23:20
  Speaker 18: in Merrill Green Stadium against the Rudder Rangers. So how
• 23:23
  Speaker 18: excited are you and your kids to renew that rivalry?
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: Well, see, the old rivalry that I remember is Aiden Consolidated,
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: so this is new for me, you know.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: And so..
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: I was long gone before this robbery, I guess, that kick-started,
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: because I guess Rudder was built in 2012. Is that right?
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: You know, I believe it is.
• 23:41
  Speaker 18: That sounds about right, yeah. I think that's when College
• 23:44
  Speaker 18: Station was founded as well.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, it was about the same time, so we kind
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: of mirror each other. And so, no, the kids are excited.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, they know all those kids over there. We
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: had a community pep rally. Those kids and our kids
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: were talking. I mean, they all grew up here in Bryan,
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: one big community. but it'll be a lot of fun
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: for the kids because they all grew up together and
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: they all want to go play against each other and
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: have a good time. It'll be a fun event for sure.
• 24:13
  Speaker 18: In your first season as head coach, what are some
• 24:15
  Speaker 18: benchmarks that you're looking to hit that are going to
• 24:19
  Speaker 18: tell you that you're headed in the right direction in
• 24:21
  Speaker 18: year one?
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: How we continue to practice and preparation through the course
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: of the season. The season can be long. We don't
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: We got it shorted in the stick on our bye
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: week because it was the last week of the season.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: And I didn't come up with that. It was a
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: computer system, an algorithm, because of now the teams that
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: are in our district. So we've got to go 10
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: weeks straight with no time off. And so that's going
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: to be unique for our kids and new for our
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: coaches wherever we go 10 weeks straight. But just the
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: engagement for our kids in practice, everybody's excited to get
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: a year. How are they going to feel in week five,
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: week six, week seven? Those will be benchmarks I can
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: look at and say if we're making progress with our program,
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: the engagement with our kids and how focused they stayed
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: and how long they endure. Because great programs, really good
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: programs that play into December and late November, those kids
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: are always locked in, ready to go, and they're there
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: to work. Even when the season's very long, they stick
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: with it, they stay engaged, and they're really going out
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: there trying to get better because High school football, I
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: feel like in college, is very similar in an aspect
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: as far as what you see from the beginning of
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: the year to the end of it. Because when you
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: play in late November and early December, you're playing at
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: a high level, high level. So you don't have to practice.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: Nobody's dropping balls. Nobody's missing exchanges with the quarterback and
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: running back. Defensive guys and D linemen know exactly where
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: they're going to be at, which gap they're shooting. But
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: those are going to be a big, big spot for
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: me is how long we can keep our kids pushing
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: themselves daily because this is all new for them and
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: they're working their tails off, but this is all new
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: for them. Like I said, the season can get long
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: and it gets hard because football is a violent game.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: You've got to play through some pain and some injuries sometimes.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: I told them the other day that this is probably
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: the best you'll ever feel right now. You're probably going
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: to be feeling 80% the rest of the year on
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: a good day. We've got to learn how to... Those
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: are the bits of us I'll be looking at for
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: for our kids and our program. And if we're doing
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: a good job with that, I feel like we'll probably
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: be playing pretty good football.
• 26:31
  Speaker 18: Well, we will be following your progress closely as every
• 26:34
  Speaker 18: game of Brian Viking football is broadcast right here on
• 26:37
  Speaker 18: The Zone, 1150 AM and 93.7 FM. But good luck
• 26:41

  Speaker 19: bulb moment. Just like other systems in your home, your
• 27:41
  Speaker 19: electrical system needs regular checkups to make sure they're running
• 27:44

  Speaker 19: become outdated and can lead to potential hazards like electrical fires.
• 27:51
  Speaker 19: If you notice any flickering lights, tripping breakers, or if
• 27:54

• 27:56
  Speaker 19: comprehensive electrical inspection to keep your home and family safe.
• 28:00
  Speaker 19: For your electrical needs, don't settle for less. Call Gilmore

  Speaker 11: Light our high school report uh will change times just
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: 15 minutes from here through the rest of the year
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: and it will be on at 4 30 which is
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: our normal time but we had to move it because
• 28:20
  Speaker 11: we're doing our sec preview for the last three weeks
• 28:23
  Speaker 11: but caleb will be back thursday afternoon at 4 30
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: so We've got that going on for us, and he'll
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: be catching up with coaches from throughout the Brazos Valley
• 28:36
  Speaker 11: with the season starting. Some of the private schools already
• 28:39
  Speaker 11: started this last week. Zero Week is this week. The
• 28:45
  Speaker 11: Bryan Broadcasting family is carrying lots of high school football.
• 28:52
  Speaker 11: So if your team is local... We're carrying it, so
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: just be sure and check wherever everything is going. Like
• 29:02
  Speaker 11: Caleb mentioned, all the Brian High games are here on
• 29:05
  Speaker 11: the zone throughout the course of the year. Their opener
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: is at home Friday night, 7 o'clock, against Magnolia West.
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: We'll begin with the pregame show, and again, Brian High
• 29:19
  Speaker 11: football will be on here throughout our time. Coming up
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: in the second hour, we're going to hear from defensive
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: coordinator Lyle Hemphill. He met with the media, answered some
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: questions today after practice. The Aggies gearing up for their
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: season opener a week from Saturday. The countdown is getting serious.
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: College football is almost here. We could use a little
• 29:47
  Speaker 11: cooler weather, but hey, that's the way it always is
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: this time of year.
• 29:52
  Speaker 10: So we'll see how all of that works out.
• 29:56
  Speaker 11: Excited to be able to watch college football this Saturday, frankly,
• 30:01
  Speaker 11: and that'll be good. We're going to hear from Lyman T.J.
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: Searcy coming up here in a little bit. That will
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: be following our SEC prediction. And again, I'm giving you,
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: I'm stalling here just a little bit, but you need
• 30:18
  Speaker 11: to phone the neighbors, wake the kids, and tell them
• 30:23
  Speaker 11: we're about to do our predictions today. I'm watching Carlos
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: Alcaraz and Serena Williams. They're up four games to three,
• 30:32
  Speaker 11: but it's on serve against two players I've never heard of. Alcaraz,
• 30:39
  Speaker 11: being the best or the second best player of the world,
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: depending on what week it is, has never been great
• 30:46
  Speaker 11: playing doubles. I'm reminded of Tiger Woods, whose Ryder Cup
• 30:52
  Speaker 11: record wasn't great.
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: When you had to put him on a team.
• 30:57
  Speaker 11: These are individual sports, and sometimes people just don't play
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: well together. But it's interesting watching Serena and Alcarez play.
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: Okay, Galleria.
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: I want to send you over to Galleria because, you know,
• 31:13

  Speaker 11: certificate for your significant other? to let her go to

  Speaker 11: Well, if Dolly calls this her favorite and best song,
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: then by God, this is her..
• 33:34
  Speaker 10: Favorite and best song.
• 33:38
  Speaker 11: We lost a good one earlier today, and Mallory will
• 33:43
  Speaker 11: be along in an hour. We'll spend some time talking
• 33:46
  Speaker 11: about Dolly's career. We're playing music throughout the course of
• 33:50
  Speaker 11: the program to honor just one of the greats.
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: One of the greats.
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: I believe this is correct, that this lady has given away.
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: Hundreds of millions of.
• 34:05
  Speaker 11: Books, more books than anyone in the history of the world,
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: she has given to kids through her Imagination Library program.
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: And that's just one of the many, many philanthropic things
• 34:23
  Speaker 11: she did throughout the course of her career. All right,
• 34:27
  Speaker 11: let's start at the bottom, work our way to the top.
• 34:30
  Speaker 11: In my mind, there are three teams that will fight
• 34:32
  Speaker 11: it out for the seller. Arkansas, Kentucky, Vanderbilt. Yeah, it's
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: tough putting the Commodores on that list because I'm a
• 34:41
  Speaker 11: big Clark Lee fan. But replacing Diego Pavia, at least
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: for a year, may not be possible.
• 34:50
  Speaker 21: I think there's so much attention being given right now
• 34:52
  Speaker 21: to how this offense will take shape, specifically who's going
• 34:55
  Speaker 21: to take the snaps. And though that is an important question...
• 35:00
  Speaker 21: What I'm more interested in ahead of training camp is
• 35:04
  Speaker 21: how is this team strengthening in all the other areas
• 35:07
  Speaker 21: that will support that position.
• 35:10
  Speaker 11: Out of the mid group could emerge a legitimate conference contender.
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: Missouri is always overlooked and undervalued. Mississippi State is making
• 35:21
  Speaker 11: progress with Jeff Levy, and they found a quarterback late
• 35:25
  Speaker 11: last year. Florida with John Summerall adds a new vibe.
• 35:30
  Speaker 11: Auburn with Alex Golish replacing Hugh Freeze. South Carolina with
• 35:35
  Speaker 11: Shane Beamer's last stand and a former Heisman candidate at quarterback.
• 35:40
  Speaker 10: Remember Lenore Sellers?
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: Oklahoma is being mentioned as a repeat playoff team. But
• 35:47
  Speaker 11: Brent Venables and John Mateer will have to prove to
• 35:51
  Speaker 11: me they can do it. I'm just not convinced. Tennessee
• 35:56
  Speaker 11: with Josh Heupel is always undeniably really good offensively, but
• 36:03
  Speaker 11: has appeared, has Heupel, to be lacking in late-game decision-making.
• 36:09
  Speaker 11: Heupel was asked about the secret sauce in developing quarterbacks.
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: Catering to their skill.
• 36:14
  Speaker 11: Sets, etc.
• 36:15
  Speaker 22: Well, I think it starts with their skill sets and
• 36:18
  Speaker 22: their work, but having a plan of how we're going
• 36:21
  Speaker 22: to grow them inside of what we're doing, and then
• 36:23
  Speaker 22: I think our staff's ability to adapt to whoever the
• 36:26
  Speaker 22: quarterback is and put him in a position to do
• 36:29
  Speaker 22: things that he's doing at a really high level that
• 36:31
  Speaker 22: he's comfortable with, to put him in a position of comfort, confidence,
• 36:38
  Speaker 22: to go out there and play the way that you
• 36:39
  Speaker 22: need to at that position.
• 36:41
  Speaker 11: That leaves LSU, A & M, Ole Miss, Alabama, Texas,
• 36:45
  Speaker 11: and Georgia. I believe out of these teams, there could
• 36:49
  Speaker 11: be three to four with 10-2 records. The Aggies and
• 36:53
  Speaker 11: Longhorns both have tough road games, but for the third
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: straight season, a lot will be riding on the final
• 37:01
  Speaker 11: game the day after Thanksgiving. I like Alabama's schedule, but
• 37:06
  Speaker 11: I'm a little skeptical about the new quarterback. Ole Miss
• 37:11
  Speaker 11: has the quarterback, but I'm not yet sold on the coach.
• 37:16
  Speaker 11: LSU is talented with defense. NFL or not NFL players,
• 37:22
  Speaker 11: but there's always a lot of drama around Lane Kiffin.
• 37:26
  Speaker 11: Kirby Smart has been to seven straight SEC titles, and
• 37:31
  Speaker 11: he has won 17 and 21 in 10 years at Georgia.
• 37:37
  Speaker 11: He's a master motivator, and he's not finished.
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: Players leaving, coaches leaving, that's all people want to talk about.
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: But what we focus on at Georgia is what wins
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: football games. And that's my passion and energy. That's what
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: we love to do. We love to grind it out,
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: play physical football, be explosive in offense, be explosive in
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: defense by how you create turnovers and what you do
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: to create sacks. But at the end of the day,
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: I don't enjoy talking about all these things that are
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: the landscape of college football. I enjoy talking about what wins.
• 38:09
  Speaker 11: When all the dust settles, expect the dogs to be
• 38:13
  Speaker 11: on top. Our SEC preview has been brought to you

• 40:42
  Speaker 10: the SEC. Yeah, we are.
• 40:45
  Speaker 11: We're going to have real games to talk about starting soon,
• 40:48
  Speaker 11: so that's what we'll do. Again, thanks to everybody that
• 40:52
  Speaker 11: made the SEC preview possible. We're going to hear from
• 40:56
  Speaker 11: one of the Aggie linemen, T.J. Searcy, coming up. We're
• 41:00
  Speaker 11: going to hear from the defensive coordinator coming up. We're
• 41:03
  Speaker 11: going to talk with Mallory at the bottom of the
• 41:06
  Speaker 11: 5 o'clock hour. We're playing more Dolly music today.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: It is..
• 41:15
  Speaker 10: It's a hard day.
• 41:16
  Speaker 11: We have lost an unbelievable singer-songwriter and an even better person.
• 41:25

  Speaker 4: I'm Jett Nelson with your Houston Astros report. Houston needs
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: to rebound against the Yankees, but New York is having
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: their winning ways. Details are coming up next.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: You finally plan that family vacation and you renew your
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: passport only to find out your passport has been denied
• 42:25

  Speaker 4: The Houston Astros hit the road as they get set
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: to face the New York Yankees in the Bronx tonight.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: Houston went three for six over the nine-game homestand against
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: AL West opponents, which gave Texas the first-place spot after
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: their win over the White Sox yesterday. The Yankees have
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: been having a good stretch of games recently with six
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: wins out of their last seven. New York got the
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: better of Houston when they last met in April. Contending
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: their powerful offense seemed to be the issue for Houston
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: as the Yankees scored 24 runs over the three-game series.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: The rookie Ethan Petko is getting another chance to prove
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: himself on the mound for Houston against Will Warren for
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: New York. The key for the Astros will be limiting
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: Ben Rice, whose mastered extra baits hits this season for
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: the Yankees, 57 total, including 34 homers. First pitch is
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: set for 6.05 tonight from Yankee Stadium, coverage on the
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Space City Home Network. With your Houston Astros report, I'm
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: Jett Nolson.
• 43:39
  Speaker 25: Howdy, this is Aaron Fletcher with Citizen State Bank, fighting
• 43:43
  Speaker 25: Texas Aggie class of 1999. Here at Citizen State Bank,
• 43:46
  Speaker 25: we're proud to stand behind the Aggies. For over 100 years,

  Speaker 2: Member FDIC.
• 44:16
  Speaker 13: Back through the years I go wandering once again Back
• 44:22
  Speaker 13: to the seasons of my youth I recall a box
• 44:28
  Speaker 13: of rags that someone gave us And how my mama
• 44:34
  Speaker 13: put the rags to use There were rags of many
• 44:40
  Speaker 13: colors But every piece was small And I didn't have
• 44:45
  Speaker 13: a coat. And it was way down in the fall.
• 44:49
  Speaker 13: Mama sewed the rags together. So in every piece we loved,
• 44:55
  Speaker 13: she made my coat of many colors that I was
• 44:59
  Speaker 13: so proud of. As she sewed, she told a story
• 45:05
  Speaker 13: from the Bible she had read about a coat of
• 45:09
  Speaker 13: many colors. Joseph wore and then she said, Perhaps this
• 45:14
  Speaker 13: coat will bring you good luck and happiness. And I
• 45:19
  Speaker 13: just couldn't wait to wear it. And Mama blessed it
• 45:23
  Speaker 13: with a kiss. My coat of many colors that my
• 45:29
  Speaker 13: mama made for me Made only from rags, but I
• 45:35
  Speaker 13: wore it so proudly Although we had no money, I
• 45:42
  Speaker 13: was rich as I could be In my coat of
• 45:46
  Speaker 13: many colors my mama made for me So with patches
• 45:55
  Speaker 13: on my britches And holes in both my shoes And
• 46:00
  Speaker 13: my coat of many colors I hurried off to school
• 46:05
  Speaker 13: Just to find the others laughing And making fun of
• 46:10
  Speaker 13: me And my coat of many colors My mama made
• 46:15
  Speaker 13: for me And oh, I couldn't understand it For I
• 46:21
  Speaker 13: felt I was rich And I told them all the
• 46:25
  Speaker 13: love my mama sewed in every stitch And I told
• 46:30
  Speaker 13: them all the story mama told me while she sewed
• 46:34
  Speaker 13: And how my coat of many colors was worth more
• 46:38
  Speaker 13: than all their clothes But they didn't understand it and
• 46:45
  Speaker 13: I tried to make them see That one is only
• 46:49
  Speaker 13: born only if they choose to be. Now I know
• 46:55
  Speaker 13: we had no money, but I was rich as I
• 46:58
  Speaker 13: could be. In my coat of many colors, my mama
• 47:04
  Speaker 13: made for me.
• 47:06
  Speaker 26: Made just for me.
• 47:08
  Speaker 10: That's an autobiographical story.
• 47:10
  Speaker 11: A lot of times, you know, with legends, stories tend
• 47:15
  Speaker 11: to be embellished. But I think it would be hard
• 47:20
  Speaker 11: to overstate how poor she grew up in the hills
• 47:28
  Speaker 11: of Tennessee with no shoes or shoes shared between, I
• 47:37
  Speaker 11: think there were 10 or 11 kids or something like that.
• 47:41
  Speaker 10: Her father was illiterate.
• 47:43
  Speaker 11: He could not read, which is one of the reasons
• 47:46
  Speaker 11: why Dolly started the Imagination Library and has literally given
• 47:53
  Speaker 11: away a million books a month to kids all over
• 48:01
  Speaker 11: the world.
• 48:02
  Speaker 10: Pretty amazing.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 48:05
  Speaker 11: We've got more Dolly music coming up. It's hard to
• 48:08
  Speaker 11: pick just a few, frankly. But this being my show,
• 48:13
  Speaker 11: I got to pick my favorites, and I had to
• 48:15
  Speaker 11: leave some off as well. We're going to hear from
• 48:19
  Speaker 11: Aggie defensive lineman T.J.
• 48:21
  Speaker 10: Searcy.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: So, T.J., you were part.
• 48:25
  Speaker 28: Of a really strong defensive line last year with, what,
• 48:29
  Speaker 28: four or three other guys got drafted?
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 48:32
  Speaker 28: So when you look around, what's around you now? What's
• 48:35
  Speaker 28: kind of your appraisal, the scouting report from the guy
• 48:39
  Speaker 28: that's been there?
• 48:40
  Speaker 29: Yeah, as far as the defensive line we got this year,
• 48:42
  Speaker 29: I think we got a lot of depth. I feel
• 48:44
  Speaker 29: like we might have got a little bit more depth
• 48:45
  Speaker 29: than we do even last year. with them guys going
• 48:48
  Speaker 29: to the league and stuff like that. We got a
• 48:50
  Speaker 29: lot of young guys and our quarter guys who came in.
• 48:53
  Speaker 29: I feel like they're going to make great contributions to
• 48:55
  Speaker 29: the team.
• 48:56
  Speaker 28: Texas A & M had one of the best pass
• 48:57
  Speaker 28: rushes in the country last year. I mean, it's probably expected.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: That it won't be quite as good last year.
• 49:06
  Speaker 28: What do you think of potentially this pass rush?
• 49:11
  Speaker 29: Yeah, God willing, we're trying to grow on what we
• 49:13
  Speaker 29: had last year God willing, it should be better than
• 49:17
  Speaker 29: it was last season.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: We're doing everything we're supposed to do. Why could it
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: be better? Yeah, like I said, we got depth this year.
• 49:26
  Speaker 29: We got more guys this year that it's like there
• 49:30
  Speaker 29: shouldn't never really be anybody on.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: The field who's tight. And then how are you better? Yeah,
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: this year I just got exponentially better.
• 49:38
  Speaker 29: As far as using my length, getting off the ball,
• 49:42
  Speaker 29: pass rushing, just being more vocal.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
• 49:46
  Speaker 18: How would you describe Anto, both as a player and just.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: In person, as someone who's gotten to know him over
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: this past year? Yeah, Anto, he's a real cool dude.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Super smart.
• 49:58
  Speaker 29: He loves football. He hasn't left the facility off our account,
• 50:01
  Speaker 29: so yeah. That pretty much shows you what type of
• 50:03
  Speaker 29: dude Antone is.
• 50:04
  Speaker 21: What's the most maybe impressive thing that you've seen him do.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Whether it be on the field or in the weight
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: room even?
• 50:10
  Speaker 29: I'd probably say Antone's most impressive part of his game
• 50:16
  Speaker 29: to me is his getoff. He's very twitchy off the ball.
• 50:19
  Speaker 11: A lot of people have been talking about your leadership style,
• 50:23
  Speaker 11: just how you kind.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Of develop in year two. What does that look like
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: for you?
• 50:26
  Speaker 26: Has there been a point in Memphis to kind of take.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: That on this season?
• 50:29
  Speaker 29: Yeah, I've definitely been trying to lead a little bit more.
• 50:33
  Speaker 29: I feel like I used to lead more so, try
• 50:35
  Speaker 29: to lead by example last season, just try to do
• 50:38
  Speaker 29: everything right and just hope people would see me. But
• 50:41
  Speaker 29: this season, I'm kind of, you know, losing my voice
• 50:45
  Speaker 29: a little more speaking to people.
• 50:47
  Speaker 18: Other than you guys are guys with less experience at
• 50:50
  Speaker 18: linebacker to start this year.
• 50:52
  Speaker 10: What is the communication like and their ability to kind
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: of get everybody set up?
• 50:56
  Speaker 29: Yeah, the new linebackers that came in, they communicate very well.
• 51:00
  Speaker 29: All the walk-throughs we have have been helping them a lot.
• 51:02
  Speaker 29: I feel like they got the defense down pretty down pat.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: It's year one under Lyle Hamill from D.C. What have
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: you learned from him, and what has been the biggest
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: thing that he's preached to y'all?
• 51:13
  Speaker 29: Yeah, Coach Hamill, he just preaches effort, attack, attack and effort.
• 51:18
  Speaker 29: That's our main things. We just have urgency. That's the
• 51:22
  Speaker 29: main thing Coach Hamill cares about. If we out there
• 51:24
  Speaker 29: playing hard, everything else is going to fall into place.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: How much pride do.
• 51:28
  Speaker 15: You take kind of stuff beyond pass rushing to stopping
• 51:31
  Speaker 15: the run and tackling it?
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: What do you think makes you so good in those
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: kind of areas? Yeah, for sure.
• 51:38
  Speaker 29: I take just as much pride in stopping the run
• 51:40
  Speaker 29: as I do in pass rushing because I feel like
• 51:43
  Speaker 29: you're not able to pass rush until you stop the run,
• 51:45
  Speaker 29: so you've got to earn the right the rest of
• 51:47
  Speaker 29: the passing.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: I think that helps you compliment Marco, Banto, and for
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: your pass rushing, what have you been working on this offseason?
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: I've really been working on using my power.
• 51:59
  Speaker 29: And I think it definitely helps me compliment those guys
• 52:01
  Speaker 29: as we have, like I said, other twitchy guys on
• 52:04
  Speaker 29: the edge that can combine with me using my power.
• 52:07
  Speaker 29: I think that causes a lot of problems for offenses.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: What are some of the offensive linemen that you've gone
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: against that.
• 52:13
  Speaker 13: Stood out to you?
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: At practice?
• 52:15
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Honestly, our offensive line looks pretty strong.
• 52:21
  Speaker 29: Wilt and Tyree, them two tackles, they've been.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: Doing pretty good against me.
• 52:28
  Speaker 16: You mentioned the depth that you feel like you guys
• 52:29
  Speaker 16: are really developing at the defensive line.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Who are maybe some of the guys that have really
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: stepped up and made some.
• 52:35
  Speaker 18: Big strides this offseason that will give you that depth
• 52:37
  Speaker 18: that you're looking for?
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
• 52:39
  Speaker 29: I mean, we got, like Elko said the other day,
• 52:43
  Speaker 29: we about got 22 starters on defense.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: So it's like..
• 52:47
  Speaker 29: It's countless guys that could come onto the field.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: Like, whether it be Marco, Anto, Ryan, Sam, and Bumba.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: You know, like, I just feel.
• 52:58
  Speaker 29: Like we got a lot more pieces than we did
• 53:00
  Speaker 29: last year where we'll be relying on just a couple guys.
• 53:04
  Speaker 11: Interesting comments by Cersei because there were NFL players on
• 53:11
  Speaker 11: the line of scrimmage last year and he said, we
• 53:13
  Speaker 11: got more this year. You know, and I I do
• 53:17
  Speaker 11: think the depth might be better.
• 53:22
  Speaker 10: Will that translate?
• 53:24
  Speaker 11: You know, one of the things that we've seen for
• 53:27
  Speaker 11: a couple of years is the consistency in my mind
• 53:32
  Speaker 11: defensively because the pieces seem to be there.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:39
  Speaker 11: You know, at times it was the linebackers not fitting
• 53:43
  Speaker 11: the run well. At times it was the defensive linemen
• 53:45
  Speaker 11: not fitting the run well or the secondary. And that
• 53:51
  Speaker 11: led to big plays.
• 53:53
  Speaker 10: You know, and that's one of the things we will
• 54:02
  Speaker 10: look at.
• 54:04
  Speaker 11: And again, might not be able to tell won't be
• 54:07
  Speaker 11: able to tell the first game, might not be able
• 54:10
  Speaker 11: to tell.
• 54:12
  Speaker 10: The second game.
• 54:17
  Speaker 11: But when conference play starts, you start looking at the consistency.
• 54:25
  Speaker 11: You know, like the number of three and outs, how
• 54:30
  Speaker 11: other teams are able to sustain drives or confer third
• 54:35
  Speaker 11: downs or hit big running plays, that's some of what
• 54:41
  Speaker 11: we'll be looking at on that side of the ball.
• 54:45
  Speaker 11: The lines, you know, I hate to repeat ourselves, but
• 54:49
  Speaker 11: it's a line of scrimmage league, and you're only going
• 54:51
  Speaker 11: to go as far.
• 54:52
  Speaker 10: As both lines of scrimmage take you. That is, I.
• 54:58
  Speaker 11: Think linebacker is one of the things you look at.
• 55:01
  Speaker 11: I think offensive line is one of the things you
• 55:04
  Speaker 11: look at. And the consistency of quarterback play. You know
• 55:08
  Speaker 11: pieces are there. The receivers are there. The running backs
• 55:11
  Speaker 11: are there. Skill position. The secondary really looks solid. So
• 55:20
  Speaker 11: I think it's a team that can do some damage.
• 55:23
  Speaker 11: But in order to do that, hey, what were they?
• 55:31
  Speaker 11: I mean, last year was pretty good, right? Last year
• 55:36
  Speaker 11: was pretty good. I know it didn't end like everybody wanted,
• 55:40
  Speaker 11: but last year was pretty good. And the question is,
• 55:44
  Speaker 11: do you take that, do you build on what we
• 55:46
  Speaker 11: saw a year ago? You know, are you able to
• 55:50
  Speaker 11: take another step? Are you able to play for a
• 55:53
  Speaker 11: conference championship? MarbleCraft has been part of our community for
