1:27
Speaker 5: for being with us. It is a Tuesday edition. This
1:31
Speaker 5: sportion of the program brought to you by Central Texas
1:33
Speaker 5: Sports Medicine. We have just learned that the Minnesota Vikings
1:39
Speaker 5: have named Kyler Murray their starting quarterback. So we're going
1:43
Speaker 5: to spin the show on that, taking your phone calls
1:46
Speaker 5: at six nine, three eleven fifty on is that a
1:49
Speaker 5: good move for the Vikings? Will that help them? Did
1:53
Speaker 5: they make the right choice? All of that. Today on
1:58
Speaker 5: the show, we've got our first high school report, We've
2:01
Speaker 5: got our SEC preview today is Vanderbilt. Also, we have
2:12
Speaker 5: Mallory is in. In the second hour, we're going to
2:16
Speaker 5: hear from offensive coordinator Holman Wiggins coming up and we'll
2:22
Speaker 5: let you in on the on the rest as well.
2:26
Speaker 5: So huge show here on this Tuesday afternoon the Aggie
2:33
Speaker 5: football team was working out uh and we'll work out
2:40
Speaker 5: again in mornings from ten to noonish the next couple
2:45
Speaker 5: of days Wednesday, Thursday, as they continue to get ready,
2:52
Speaker 5: and we will have they they're making quarterback Marcel Reid
2:57
Speaker 5: available tomorrow, so we'll hear from him at some point
3:01
Speaker 5: Wednesday or Thursday. I mentioned Holman Wiggins. Lyyle Hemphill, the
3:07
Speaker 5: defensive coordinator, also met with us this morning. We will
3:12
Speaker 5: hear from him at some point, probably tomorrow. And this
3:20
Speaker 5: is an interesting story. Northwestern has been given a thirty
3:24
Speaker 5: five million dollars gift to enhance their football program, a
3:30
Speaker 5: family donation intended to include recruiting support and broader program needs.
3:40
Speaker 5: The gift, according to the school, will help student athlete development, practice,
3:46
Speaker 5: operational priorities, recruiting money, strategic investments designed to position Northwestern
3:55
Speaker 5: football for sustained success in the Big Ten and on
4:00
Speaker 5: the national stage. They are set to open an eight
4:05
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty million dollars stadium and practice facility this year.
4:13
Speaker 5: That was also privately funded. So if you're keeping score,
4:18
Speaker 5: that's eight hundred and eighty five million dollars worth of gifts.
4:23
Speaker 5: And I tell you here's part of what's going on.
4:26
Speaker 5: And you knew this was going to happen. Indiana won
4:30
Speaker 5: a national championship last year, and every d one school
4:34
Speaker 5: in America is saying, good gosh, they were the worst
4:39
Speaker 5: football program in the history of football. If they can
4:41
Speaker 5: win a national championship, we can win a national championship.
4:48
Speaker 5: The problem is you don't have their coach. Takes more
4:53
Speaker 5: than money. Money helps, It takes more than money. It'll
4:58
Speaker 5: be interesting to why Northwestern. Northwestern was more than competitive
5:04
Speaker 5: under Pat Fitzgerald and he got fired allegedly for harassing
5:10
Speaker 5: football players. I don't know. I don't know if there
5:13
Speaker 5: were snowflakes on the team who didn't like it. I
5:17
Speaker 5: think he eventually settled out of court after he got fired. Anyway,
5:24
Speaker 5: we'll see what happens there. We have got Astros baseball
5:29
Speaker 5: late tonight on the Left Coast in case you missed
5:32
Speaker 5: it last night, which I did. It's too late for me.
5:36
Speaker 5: The Astros scored three in the tenth and won six
5:39
Speaker 5: to three, and almost a carbon copy of the Ranger game.
5:45
Speaker 5: The Rangers scored three in the tent and one four
5:48
Speaker 5: to one. Brandon Nimma with the go ahead RBI single
5:52
Speaker 5: in the tent. Jack Berger followed out with a two
5:54
Speaker 5: run single. Rangers win four to one. They send codyd
6:00
Speaker 5: to the mound tonight against the Angels, and that is
6:06
Speaker 5: that will be his second start. By the way, Hunter
6:08
Speaker 5: Brown is starting for the Astros tonight. And I tell
6:15
Speaker 5: you how bad the Angels are and how bad they
6:19
Speaker 5: think the Rangers are. After losing to the Rangers last
6:23
Speaker 5: night and giving up four runs and ten innings, the
6:27
Speaker 5: Angels fired their entire pitching staff today, including pitching coach
6:32
Speaker 5: Mike Maddox, who I wish were still with the Rangers,
6:35
Speaker 5: one of the best in the business. Assistant pitching coach
6:39
Speaker 5: Darryl Scott fired. Bullpen coach Dom Cheaty fired. Maddox had
6:45
Speaker 5: just been with the team since the offseason was given
6:48
Speaker 5: a one year contract. The Angels pitchers have a four
6:52
Speaker 5: to five to three run average and have issued the
6:54
Speaker 5: most walks in Major League Baseball, And of course that's
6:57
Speaker 5: all the pitching coach's fault. The new pitching coach will
7:01
Speaker 5: come in and tell the Angel's pitchers, hey, quit walking everybody,
7:07
Speaker 5: and everything will be great. The Angels have so many problems,
7:13
Speaker 5: and poor Mike Trout not poor Mike Trout, Rich Mike Trout.
7:17
Speaker 5: He's thinking, what was I doing? I basically signed up
7:24
Speaker 5: for the rest of my career with this team. What
7:26
Speaker 5: was I thinking? We're never going to win. They're terrible,
7:30
Speaker 5: but at least they're going to have a new pitching
7:32
Speaker 5: coach who tells the pitchers, hey, quit walking, everybody throw strikes,
7:40
Speaker 5: and I'm sure that will work out well for the Angels.
7:46
Speaker 5: I wish Mike Maddox would come back to the Rangers. Frankly,
7:49
Speaker 5: I really like him. And when you get Mike Maddox,
7:55
Speaker 5: the Rangers always got a little bonus because his brother,
7:58
Speaker 5: Greg would show up in spring training from time to
8:01
Speaker 5: time and you know, visit with a few of the
8:06
Speaker 5: pitchers that wanted to pick his brain. Who wouldn't want
8:09
Speaker 5: to talk to Greg Maddox about pitching if you're a pitcher, right,
8:13
Speaker 5: just saying, the Red Sox are finally going to get
8:18
Speaker 5: Addlie Rushman in the lineup. They made the big trade
8:21
Speaker 5: right before the trading deadline with the Orioles seven player deal,
8:28
Speaker 5: and he hasn't played for Boston yet because he's been
8:34
Speaker 5: out since the middle of July with a left wrist
8:37
Speaker 5: inflammation by the way last night before the Angels game.
8:42
Speaker 5: Every time you think the Rangers are getting healthy, I
8:47
Speaker 5: get a text, a tweet both by the way, big game,
8:57
Speaker 5: Nate is going on the fifteen days disabled list with
9:02
Speaker 5: a battle of bat elbow, and I'm going, oh, you
9:05
Speaker 5: have got to be kidding. I mean, you have got
9:10
Speaker 5: to be kidding. Just as they're getting a staff healthy
9:15
Speaker 5: Nathan Valdi now on the fifteen day deal. Man, I
9:20
Speaker 5: hate that.
9:21
Speaker 4: Anyway.
9:21
Speaker 5: Rushman's supposed to be in the lneup tonight. He's got
9:23
Speaker 5: to face Dylan Cease. So he's thinking, oh, thanks, guys,
9:27
Speaker 5: you get me back. I have to face Dylan Cease.
9:29
Speaker 5: The Blue Jays, And speaking of the Blue Jays and
9:31
Speaker 5: Red Sox, I can't go into what happened in the
9:34
Speaker 5: game last night because I don't understand everything. I was
9:38
Speaker 5: listening to Joe. She had talked to Louis this morning
9:41
Speaker 5: about this, and I don't know exactly what happened. There
9:47
Speaker 5: were three outs in an inning, there were four outs
9:49
Speaker 5: in an inning. There was a double play, there wasn't
9:52
Speaker 5: a double play. There was two cop baseballs. There wasn't
9:56
Speaker 5: a cop baseball. The players forgot how many outs there
10:00
Speaker 5: were runs scored, runs didn't score. Took fifteen minutes to
10:04
Speaker 5: sort all this out. Plus the league office in New
10:08
Speaker 5: York had to look up the exact rules that went on.
10:12
Speaker 5: And I'm not going to labor you with all of
10:15
Speaker 5: that because I just I don't I didn't care enough.
10:21
Speaker 5: I watched a video and I said, man, this is complicated.
10:27
Speaker 5: So even some of the players, I think we're laughing afterwards,
10:30
Speaker 5: like we don't know what's going on. Neither team, neither
10:34
Speaker 5: side knew what was going on. So anyway, if you care,
10:39
Speaker 5: you can look up a video and watch that was
10:43
Speaker 5: just chaos for about fifteen minutes last night. But it
10:47
Speaker 5: is the dog days, it is August. We need stuff
10:51
Speaker 5: to talk about. You can tell it's the dog days,
10:55
Speaker 5: especially in baseball, man. And it's hot a lot of
10:58
Speaker 5: places in the US, not just here. So these guys
11:02
Speaker 5: are like, oh, man, especially, I think you know it's
11:06
Speaker 5: not hot in Anaheim in the evening especially, But anyway,
11:10
Speaker 5: you know, those guys are going, we got almost two
11:13
Speaker 5: more months of this stuff and we're terrible. We got
11:16
Speaker 5: no shot. The Rangers do have a shot. The Astros
11:21
Speaker 5: do have a shot. The Mariners have a shot. They're
11:23
Speaker 5: playing the Yankees, I think tonight. So the Rangers half
11:27
Speaker 5: game back. Okay, the Astros now two games over five hundred,
11:33
Speaker 5: the Rangers one game over five hundred. They are half
11:36
Speaker 5: a game back in the West. All right, We're gonna
11:38
Speaker 5: take a break. Caleb's going to be along with our
11:42
Speaker 5: first high school report. We have got our sec preview
11:47
Speaker 5: coming up. We got to hear from some Maggie defensive players.

13:02
Speaker 12: The Welcome into the high School Report. I'm Caleb Brapley,
13:06
Speaker 12: and today we are jumping out to the Polaris Fun
13:08
Speaker 12: Center phone line to visit with the head coach of
13:11
Speaker 12: the Rudder Rangers football team, mister Eric Ezar, Coach, how
13:15
Speaker 12: are you doing today?
13:16
Speaker 13: I'm doing great, Thank you, Glad.
13:18
Speaker 12: To have you on the program today. Very excited for
13:21
Speaker 12: this fall high school football season, college football season. It's
13:25
Speaker 12: all right around the corner, and I know all of
13:27
Speaker 12: our listeners are very excited as well. So how has
13:30
Speaker 12: this offseason been for you and your squad?
13:32
Speaker 13: It's been great. Last year we had a really young team,
13:35
Speaker 13: and so the spring before the offseason before, you're really
13:39
Speaker 13: kind of restarting everything. And the great thing is we
13:43
Speaker 13: have a you know, probably nine on offense and nine
13:46
Speaker 13: starters on defense that are coming back. So when we
13:48
Speaker 13: got into spring, things went a lot quicker because they
13:51
Speaker 13: you know, they were familiar with everything you know they
13:55
Speaker 13: they you know, before they were third or four stringers.
13:58
Speaker 13: Now they were first stringers, and they had been first
14:00
Speaker 13: stringers during the season, so you know, you're not replacing
14:03
Speaker 13: a lot of kids. So everything went well. You know,
14:07
Speaker 13: we were just getting better, just going over our stuff
14:09
Speaker 13: on offense and defense, and so it was a really
14:12
Speaker 13: good spring ball and the summer has been really well too.
14:16
Speaker 12: Yeah, it definitely was a very young squad last year.
14:18
Speaker 12: But one of the benefits of that is that, you know,
14:20
Speaker 12: there's all that experience coming back. I was looking at
14:23
Speaker 12: the numbers and y'all have the most returning letterman of
14:27
Speaker 12: any team in your district. So how do you think
14:29
Speaker 12: that's going to give you an advantage over some of
14:32
Speaker 12: the teams you will be competing against this season.
14:34
Speaker 13: Well, you know, I think experience, and you know, I've
14:36
Speaker 13: been coaching for a long time, and I think that
14:38
Speaker 13: experience always helps. You know, we have some really good
14:41
Speaker 13: teams in our district. You know, Brenham just reloads and
14:44
Speaker 13: Klean Elison's going to be a really good team. Belton
14:47
Speaker 13: University had a great season last year. You know, you know,
14:51
Speaker 13: Waco's got great athletes. So it's always a tough district,
14:54
Speaker 13: but I think just as young kids. I mean, when
14:57
Speaker 13: you're playing fifteen year olds versus eighteen year olds, sometimes
15:01
Speaker 13: it's a good and a bad thing. And the bad
15:03
Speaker 13: thing is is that they're young, and sometimes they're not
15:05
Speaker 13: going to win those battles against eighteen year olds. But
15:08
Speaker 13: you know, those our kids got knocked down. They went
15:11
Speaker 13: against guys who were stronger than them. So I think
15:14
Speaker 13: in the off season it really helped them work really hard.
15:16
Speaker 13: They really hit the weight room. You know, when you
15:18
Speaker 13: talk about weight room now they understand because there's an
15:20
Speaker 13: eighteen year old standing across from that benches three twenty
15:23
Speaker 13: and they're mentioned two twenty. Well, you know what's fixing
15:25
Speaker 13: to happen. So you know, hopefully our kids are the
15:27
Speaker 13: ones let me mentioned three twenty now and they've matured
15:31
Speaker 13: and you know the hopefully the tide will turn.
15:34
Speaker 12: So you mentioned a few of your district bunk mates
15:37
Speaker 12: this year. We did have realignment back in February, but
15:41
Speaker 12: District eight five A Division two stays exactly the same
15:44
Speaker 12: as it was before. How much easier is your job
15:46
Speaker 12: going to be getting to go up against the same
15:48
Speaker 12: teams for the third year in a row.
15:50
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think it's a little bit of both. I
15:51
Speaker 13: think when you play people the first time, you're you know,
15:53
Speaker 13: you're just trying to kind of feel them out. You know,
15:55
Speaker 13: you have a lot more film on them the second year,
15:57
Speaker 13: and you know, sometimes that helps, and you know, just
16:00
Speaker 13: really I think the thing that helps is just being
16:02
Speaker 13: older and more experienced, you know, to be quite honest,
16:05
Speaker 13: but it does help you as far as you get
16:07
Speaker 13: to know and break down people that you're playing, and
16:09
Speaker 13: like if you've never played somebody, like we really had
16:12
Speaker 13: not played Belton ever before before the you know, that
16:14
Speaker 13: year that we came in the district. You know, as
16:17
Speaker 13: long as the coaches stay the same, you kind of
16:19
Speaker 13: get patterns in what they do and all that stuff.
16:21
Speaker 13: And it's a year to game plan for.
16:23
Speaker 12: So I've been, you know, reading all of the different
16:24
Speaker 12: preview magazines trying to get ready for this season, and
16:28
Speaker 12: I've seen a lot of buzz around your defensive line
16:31
Speaker 12: as a position group. Do you think that's your biggest
16:33
Speaker 12: strength or is there another one that stands out?
16:35
Speaker 14: Well?
16:36
Speaker 13: You know, I really think that the defensive line is
16:39
Speaker 13: going to be our strength at Javion Richardson, Jordan, Ennis,
16:42
Speaker 13: Marian gbson. We may even play dominic guards are there
16:46
Speaker 13: a little bit too, you know, Jay Sean Brown to
16:49
Speaker 13: play some defensive end, you know. So we really feel
16:52
Speaker 13: like we have a good rotation of kids that will
16:54
Speaker 13: probably rotate a lot of kids, and that's always good
16:57
Speaker 13: on the defensive line, especially early in the season, you know,
17:00
Speaker 13: with all the heat, because those big guys get tired quick.
17:03
Speaker 13: So if you don't have a lot of depth at
17:04
Speaker 13: the defensive line, you can get in trouble real quick.
17:07
Speaker 13: And so we're excited about that. But I also think
17:09
Speaker 13: the offensive line, we had the whole offensive line back,
17:13
Speaker 13: and I think one thing in rudder as far as personnel.
17:15
Speaker 13: In the past, we've been known for our skill guys,
17:17
Speaker 13: and we have some good skill guys coming. But you know,
17:21
Speaker 13: really at the time, we've always had kind of little
17:23
Speaker 13: offensive lineman and defensive linemen. And you know, for the
17:27
Speaker 13: next two years, we're going to have some pretty big kids,
17:29
Speaker 13: and you know, we're gonna have kids who weigh you know,
17:31
Speaker 13: to eighty and there are six two six three to
17:33
Speaker 13: eighty two ninety and so you have that size up
17:36
Speaker 13: front and the trenches. That's always a positive.
17:39
Speaker 12: So you lost your leading rusher from last season. AJ
17:43
Speaker 12: Morrison graduates after being you know, one of the most
17:46
Speaker 12: impactful players for the Rangers over his high school career.
17:50
Speaker 12: So who is somebody that you could see stepping up
17:52
Speaker 12: to fill his shoes.
17:54
Speaker 13: We have Jack who's our running back, who's fantastic. We
17:56
Speaker 13: really felt he played a lot, you know, last year,
17:59
Speaker 13: you know, opposite AJ. We moved Aj to some inside
18:01
Speaker 13: receiver some so Jack got to play tailback a lot.
18:04
Speaker 13: You know, we have him. You know, we also have
18:06
Speaker 13: Tavan black Shirt, who's going to be really good, we think,
18:10
Speaker 13: So we have some good options in there. Marion Gibson's
18:13
Speaker 13: a big, a big kid who does play defensive end,
18:15
Speaker 13: but he can also give us that kid who's two
18:17
Speaker 13: twenty five that you can hand the ball to, you know,
18:20
Speaker 13: so we have some options. Even Logan Taylor's a kid
18:23
Speaker 13: who plays our inside receiver position who we think he's
18:26
Speaker 13: going to end up being probably the next Jaquise Martin
18:29
Speaker 13: and Keith ron Lee for us. But he can also
18:32
Speaker 13: bounce back at that tailback. So we're going to do
18:34
Speaker 13: it with kind of a four pronged approach.
18:37
Speaker 12: I know, it's hard to know what your team's going
18:39
Speaker 12: to be before you play any games. But what do
18:41
Speaker 12: you think are going to be some keys to success
18:43
Speaker 12: for your squad this year?
18:45
Speaker 13: Well, you know, I think it's going to be you know,
18:46
Speaker 13: Silas Sullivan is going to be our quarterback. You know,
18:49
Speaker 13: we have a young kid named Belle who's going to
18:51
Speaker 13: be Taylor Bell, who's going to be a sophomore who
18:54
Speaker 13: we think is going to be really good for the future.
18:56
Speaker 13: So we feel like we've got two good kids in
18:58
Speaker 13: the quarterback position. But I really think their play is
19:00
Speaker 13: going to be important and really just being able. I
19:03
Speaker 13: think to run the ball behind a big offensive line
19:06
Speaker 13: and you know, throwing when you can. We've got some
19:09
Speaker 13: young skill guys that we were really excited about. You
19:12
Speaker 13: know already mentioned Logan. You know, We've got Aiden Gray,
19:16
Speaker 13: who's a kid who's a big time baseball player. He's
19:19
Speaker 13: very explosive. You know, he had two he had a
19:22
Speaker 13: touchdown in the last game against Waco or so he's
19:24
Speaker 13: very explosive. Jabari Barrell is a kid who's been in
19:27
Speaker 13: our program for four years and worked really hard Corey
19:31
Speaker 13: Jeffery's a kid who we think can really come around.
19:33
Speaker 13: Parker Jones another kid who's a baseball player, So you know,
19:36
Speaker 13: we have a lot of young kids who may not
19:38
Speaker 13: be proven yet and just kind of it's gonna be
19:41
Speaker 13: kind of fun to see who's going to step up
19:42
Speaker 13: and be the stars. And on the defensive end, you know,
19:44
Speaker 13: a guy you really got to kind of watch is
19:46
Speaker 13: Mike he Hurd. He can play a little offense too,
19:48
Speaker 13: but he's going to be a really good cornerback for us.
19:50
Speaker 13: Ran a ten to eight in the hundred. In the secondary,
19:53
Speaker 13: Caden Shallow is going to be a kid who's going
19:55
Speaker 13: to play linebacker for us. And defensive end who's going
19:58
Speaker 13: to be good. I mentioned Jack Sharing or who's our tailback?
20:03
Speaker 13: You know, I think those guys are going to be
20:05
Speaker 13: some guys who can really step up. David Fernandez as
20:07
Speaker 13: a safety for US who has a lot of experience
20:10
Speaker 13: from playing last year. So those guys can step up.
20:12
Speaker 13: But the guy didn't mention them too is like Cameron Ford.
20:15
Speaker 13: He's a defensive tackle for us. He's going to give
20:17
Speaker 13: us a lot of depth. He's a big kid who's
20:19
Speaker 13: you know, six two two eighty four. So we're excited
20:22
Speaker 13: about those guys.
20:23
Speaker 12: You will be going into your eighth season as the
20:26
Speaker 12: head coach for the Rutterer Rangers. Since you were hired
20:29
Speaker 12: back in twenty nineteen, there has been a lot of
20:32
Speaker 12: change in amateur athletics as a whole. There's been a
20:35
Speaker 12: lot of change of structure of eligibility and mindset of
20:40
Speaker 12: you know, the players looking to get recruited. So how
20:43
Speaker 12: have you had to adjust your coaching to be able
20:46
Speaker 12: to have success in this ever changing era.
20:49
Speaker 13: Well, I mean, to be honest, I don't know that
20:50
Speaker 13: it's really changed that much. You know, we always try to,
20:54
Speaker 13: you know, find ways to get our kids, uh in
20:56
Speaker 13: front of coaches.
20:58
Speaker 6: Uh.
20:58
Speaker 13: You know, we take a trip up to Dallas to
21:00
Speaker 13: the SMU Mega can't play as seven on seven up
21:02
Speaker 13: there also, and so we're very fortunate that we have
21:07
Speaker 13: thirteen kids that will play college football next year at
21:09
Speaker 13: different programs. So, I mean, we think we've done a
21:12
Speaker 13: phenomenal job of getting kids into college that Rudders a
21:16
Speaker 13: place where you can come play and you know the
21:18
Speaker 13: coaches are really going to help you go to that
21:19
Speaker 13: next level. So, I mean, we really haven't seen the
21:22
Speaker 13: inil stuff in high school. But an example is is
21:25
Speaker 13: like you know, Waco University had their quarterback who was
21:29
Speaker 13: like a six to six kid. He was supposed to
21:32
Speaker 13: be coming back as a senior. Well, he got an
21:34
Speaker 13: inile deal in Georgia where they offer inil money and
21:37
Speaker 13: he left for inile money in a high school. So
21:40
Speaker 13: it is definitely changing. I don't know that it's hit Brian,
21:43
Speaker 13: Texas yet, but I mean, you know, it's not far away.
21:46
Speaker 4: All right.
21:47
Speaker 12: Last question for you here in the non district we
21:51
Speaker 12: will see, finally for the first time, and I'm not
21:54
Speaker 12: sure how many years, but I think it's the first
21:55
Speaker 12: time since you've been the coach at Rutter, you will
21:57
Speaker 12: be playing your Crosstown Cross District's rival in the Brian
22:02
Speaker 12: Vikings at Meryl Green Stadium. So how did that come
22:06
Speaker 12: to pass and how excited are you and your players
22:08
Speaker 12: for that rivalry game.
22:10
Speaker 13: Well, you know, I think the kids are really excited,
22:13
Speaker 13: you know, I think that gets them fired up. You know,
22:15
Speaker 13: it is a coach sometime. I don't know if I'm
22:17
Speaker 13: as excited about it, because you know, our main goal
22:20
Speaker 13: is to be sure that we get to, you know,
22:23
Speaker 13: get into playoffs and go that level. But the kids
22:25
Speaker 13: just love it, the community loves it, you know, But
22:28
Speaker 13: that that game doesn't determine a playoff spot. But it
22:30
Speaker 13: does have a lot of pride for the town, you know,
22:35
Speaker 13: and so the kids, I mean, you know, they've definitely
22:37
Speaker 13: circled that week and and you know, I just don't
22:40
Speaker 13: want our kids to get over emotional. And there's a
22:42
Speaker 13: trophy for it, and it's it's at Rutterer because Rudder
22:45
Speaker 13: won the last one thirty five to twenty eight. The
22:47
Speaker 13: Vikings won the first three. I think, So it's a
22:50
Speaker 13: big deal.
22:51
Speaker 5: You know.
22:51
Speaker 13: I think as a coach, you know, you have those
22:53
Speaker 13: rival games. We got to go play a game that
22:55
Speaker 13: next week, and so you don't want to overhype it
22:57
Speaker 13: because then you the next week you got to go
22:59
Speaker 13: play again. Then you got district. So you know, athletic
23:01
Speaker 13: director Derek Rush really wanted that game to happen, and
23:05
Speaker 13: you know, have an opportunity to you know, really you know,
23:08
Speaker 13: bring the community together. We have a beautiful stadium and
23:12
Speaker 13: just to see the community all out at one time.
23:15
Speaker 13: You know, I'm a big Brian Eyes d guy, So
23:17
Speaker 13: I don't know if I like fight against the other side,
23:19
Speaker 13: but you know, for one week, it's going to be
23:22
Speaker 13: the cross Down Showdown.
23:23
Speaker 12: Thank you for your time today, coach.
23:25
Speaker 13: All right, thanks so much.

24:46

24:48
Speaker 5: Caleb. We'll have another high school report on Thursday. Normally,
24:54
Speaker 5: our high school reports during the fall will be at
24:56
Speaker 5: four thirty, but because we are doing our s EC
25:00
Speaker 5: preview here for a couple of weeks, our high school
25:04
Speaker 5: report will be at four point fifteen. So phone the neighbors,
25:08
Speaker 5: wake the kids, make sure they know that we're running
25:13
Speaker 5: the high school report again, and then it is at
25:15
Speaker 5: four fifteen right now. We'll switch at four point thirty
25:19
Speaker 5: on August to twenty seventh. That's a Thursday on August
25:23
Speaker 5: to twenty fifth again. Put this on your calendar. Will
25:28
Speaker 5: be our prediction show for the SEC. We have determined
25:33
Speaker 5: is the most listened to radio program in the world,
25:38
Speaker 5: and so please no betting. It's for entertainment purposes only.
25:44
Speaker 5: I can't keep gamblers from listening. I can only issue
25:47
Speaker 5: the warning so I won't be confused of you know,
25:52
Speaker 5: of giving inside information to people who make their living gambling.
25:58
Speaker 5: We don't want to do that. I want to send
26:02
Speaker 5: our congratulations out to Tucker and Will and Riley who
26:10
Speaker 5: got Favorite Radio Personalities in the Best of the Brases.
26:17
Speaker 5: I don't know why I failed to win that award
26:22
Speaker 5: for the thirty second straight year. I haven't been able
26:28
Speaker 5: to determine what those factors are, but we're having meetings
26:33
Speaker 5: on a daily basis to try to figure that out.
26:37
Speaker 5: You know, what is it that's keeping us from being
26:41
Speaker 5: named Best Radio Personality now? I believe it's the fact
26:47
Speaker 5: that we only have six listeners and I can't get
26:50
Speaker 5: them to vote enough times. In the Best of the
26:55
Speaker 5: Brass is you know, voting to stack the ballot. And
27:01
Speaker 5: in this day and age where we're closely watching ballots
27:05
Speaker 5: and voting and identification, it's you know, it's become a
27:10
Speaker 5: little risky to suggest that you vote multiple times. I mean,
27:16
Speaker 5: it happens in other states and other places, but around
27:19
Speaker 5: here it just doesn't. So we're still trying to figure
27:24
Speaker 5: that out. And you know, I know I've said this before.
27:32
Speaker 5: Most days it doesn't sound like it, but most of
27:36
Speaker 5: the time we try pretty hard. You know to have
27:39
Speaker 5: a decent show, and the goal is always to have
27:44
Speaker 5: one really good show a week, and I feel like
27:47
Speaker 5: that sets a high bar for everybody, you know, to say, look,
27:50
Speaker 5: we've got to get a really good show together. And
27:56
Speaker 5: and most weeks, I know when that day is. Some weeks,
28:02
Speaker 5: I'm not quite as sure. I have to wait till
28:04
Speaker 5: the end of the week to say, you know, that
28:09
Speaker 5: Monday show turned out to be pretty good. You know
28:11
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. It has to do with guests. But
28:15
Speaker 5: we're always we're always looking, and we've got we've got
28:20
Speaker 5: some guests coming up. I can't jinx all of that
28:24
Speaker 5: right now, but we have a few coming up. I've
28:27
Speaker 5: been reading some books and we'll be talking to some
28:31
Speaker 5: people here. And by the way, ever since I talked
28:36
Speaker 5: about yesterday that AI generated top one hundred guests in
28:41
Speaker 5: sports talk history, I keep thinking of people that you know,
28:51
Speaker 5: weren't on the list that we've had as guests over
28:58
Speaker 5: the years, and it's pretty substantial, frankly, And I just
29:10
Speaker 5: you know, like yesterday, we happened to play Crystal Blue
29:16
Speaker 5: Persuasion by Tommy James, and Tommy James has a lot
29:24
Speaker 5: of music and a lot of number one hits, and
29:28
Speaker 5: I said, hey, we've had Tommy James on the show.
29:30
Speaker 5: He wasn't on that list. So there's a lot of
29:33
Speaker 5: people that did not make the list that we've talked
29:37
Speaker 5: to over the years. And I keep every night, like
29:41
Speaker 5: last night, we're watching a special on the Carpenters and
29:44
Speaker 5: I go, hey, I had Richard Carpenter on the show,
29:47
Speaker 5: and he didn't make that list either, So maybe we
29:52
Speaker 5: need a top one fifty guest list. Unfortunately we don't
29:59
Speaker 5: have that today. I'm sorry. I do have Mallory today.
30:04
Speaker 5: I do have an SEC preview today, and I do
30:07
Speaker 5: have the Offensive Coordinator today. And if they win a lot,
30:12
Speaker 5: maybe eventually Homan will be on that list. You know
30:15
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, Like three, four, five, ten years down
30:18
Speaker 5: the road, and maybe by then we will have won
30:22
Speaker 5: a Best of the Brasses. All right, we've got an
30:25
Speaker 5: SEC preview coming up.
30:27
Speaker 2: I want to.
30:27
Speaker 5: Remind you that. Well, I don't have to remind you.

30:35
Speaker 5: where you can go get cool and get relaxed. Galeria

43:03
Speaker 5: hear from some defense today. Uh and and we're gonna
43:08
Speaker 5: start with lineman DJ Hicks.
43:14
Speaker 1: First day of practice, Just what was the vibe and
43:16
Speaker 1: the feeling out there today?
43:19
Speaker 25: I feel like it was a it was an okay day.
43:21
Speaker 25: You know, we got a lot of things to improve,
43:23
Speaker 25: but that always happens in the first.
43:25
Speaker 4: Day, you know. So yeah, that's just how I feel
43:27
Speaker 4: about it today.
43:28
Speaker 2: Really.
43:28
Speaker 4: So yeah, Dj, you kind of drenched? Was it that
43:31
Speaker 4: kind of practice? Oh? Yeah, for sure?
43:33
Speaker 25: For sure, okay with the man a lot from this,
43:37
Speaker 25: you know, so you just gotta go out there and
43:39
Speaker 25: give it your hun and I feel like everybody's gonna
43:41
Speaker 25: leave over me, over me gently go hard.
43:43
Speaker 1: So what was the highlight from today's practice in your mind?
43:47
Speaker 4: Something that stuck out to you.
43:50
Speaker 25: I think one of the highlights today is just just
43:53
Speaker 25: seeing everybody push through, uh to end the practice, you know.
43:57
Speaker 25: I feel like, especially in the D line D line room,
44:00
Speaker 25: I had a lot of guys uh pushed through and
44:02
Speaker 25: uh sometimes that can be hard the first day of practice.
44:04
Speaker 4: So I feel like that was one of the biggest
44:06
Speaker 4: high likes today. Sure, you know, I hard to day
44:09
Speaker 4: one right like this? Since you ever had a one
44:11
Speaker 4: day one?
44:11
Speaker 6: Now?
44:11
Speaker 25: Is that like jitters?
44:12
Speaker 4: Is a little bit of rush going off? Like what
44:14
Speaker 4: how would you describe for that?
44:15
Speaker 25: Uh, It's it's definitely jitters, you know, coming into coming
44:19
Speaker 25: into something that you really care about, you know, you
44:21
Speaker 25: always gonna be a little nervous, you know. So I
44:25
Speaker 25: feel like it was a little bit of jitters, a
44:26
Speaker 25: little bit of everything. But that first play, once you
44:29
Speaker 25: get that first play done, it just turns up playing
44:30
Speaker 25: football league.
44:31
Speaker 12: So was there a point during today when those nervous
44:34
Speaker 12: genders start to.
44:35
Speaker 5: Kind of dissipate a little bit.
44:37
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
44:37
Speaker 25: At first play, that's from every time for me, I
44:40
Speaker 25: get real nervous, you know, I'm real nervous type of gout.
44:43
Speaker 25: But after the first player, I get the first little
44:45
Speaker 25: pad pads here, I'm the good.
44:47
Speaker 4: So it's you know, it's just been short. But what
44:49
Speaker 4: it's uh uh been like going against this offense wants
44:52
Speaker 4: those when you guys.
44:53
Speaker 25: Stuff, Oh yeah, we gotta we gotta really talented offense alone.
44:56
Speaker 25: You know, they gonna make us all all better, just
44:58
Speaker 25: like we're gonna make them better. You know, we got
45:00
Speaker 25: dudes like Trayvon and Cohen, all these newer guys that
45:03
Speaker 25: came in and they were really good players. So you know, uh,
45:06
Speaker 25: displaying against them every day long. It's mart Nabel and
45:09
Speaker 25: dudes like that every day. It's no way I can't
45:11
Speaker 25: get better in the way they're not gonna get better.
45:12
Speaker 4: It's what do you think that be?
45:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't get this sea that's aligned with the
45:16
Speaker 1: big piece as it has and and you know help
45:18
Speaker 1: guys are bad.
45:19
Speaker 4: Uh, it's all the brotherhood, you know, Uh, we always
45:23
Speaker 4: try to stick together.
45:23
Speaker 25: You know, we always hang out together. Uh we always
45:26
Speaker 25: got each other back. And I feel like, uh that's
45:29
Speaker 25: really been our motto this year, is just sticking together
45:32
Speaker 25: through anything and if we stay together and get through
45:34
Speaker 25: anything and any time.
45:36
Speaker 4: Did you what is it like for you? You're the
45:38
Speaker 4: old guy Malania.
45:39
Speaker 10: Yeah, they hear the longest and they just taking that
45:41
Speaker 10: role of us see your guys.
45:43
Speaker 4: Uh, man, It's it's so real.
45:46
Speaker 25: Uh so think this is like my last fall care
45:48
Speaker 25: probably just to to really sit back and think about that.
45:51
Speaker 4: Man, it's just so it's so real.
45:52
Speaker 25: I'm just taking in the moment, uh, trying to be
45:55
Speaker 25: a leader as much as I can right now.
45:57
Speaker 1: So, So, what's the competition you've been like among the
46:00
Speaker 1: defensive tackles in particular you're at the off season coming
46:03
Speaker 1: into this preseason part I.
46:05
Speaker 25: Man, I feel like all those guys make me better,
46:08
Speaker 25: like every day. You know, it's never Uh we got
46:12
Speaker 25: so many talented dudes that you can never relax in
46:14
Speaker 25: that room, you know.
46:15
Speaker 19: Uh.
46:16
Speaker 25: So I just feel like having dudes like Angela mccallor
46:19
Speaker 25: Landon Ring, DJ Sanders, uh CJ Mims. Shoot, the list
46:23
Speaker 25: goes on, like having dudes like that. Man, you you
46:26
Speaker 25: can't never relax and it it just makes you a
46:28
Speaker 25: better player and a better you know, with.
46:30
Speaker 5: A person you know in your career, you like go
46:32
Speaker 5: kind of what's the message and what's kind of been the.
46:35
Speaker 24: Kind of this this year's team.
46:38
Speaker 4: Uh, I feel like our biggest message. I feel like
46:40
Speaker 4: UH has just been like just to finish, you know. Uh.
46:44
Speaker 4: We had UH two years in a row where I
46:46
Speaker 4: f we feel like we haven't really done that yet.
46:49
Speaker 25: So I think our biggest thing this year is probably
46:51
Speaker 25: just to finish and go hard every single player, you know.
46:54
Speaker 1: So playing behind Howard and to Hower last year, what
46:58
Speaker 1: were kind of the biggest things you learn from two
47:00
Speaker 1: guys who got drafted?
47:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you think you get a fly point?
47:03
Speaker 5: Len?
47:04
Speaker 4: Uh?
47:04
Speaker 21: To yall?
47:05
Speaker 4: I learned a lot from to y'all. I learned uh
47:08
Speaker 4: his get off. He always tried to get off the ball.
47:10
Speaker 25: He always tell me, UH, just rush the pass to
47:13
Speaker 25: every play you be alright, So just his get off
47:16
Speaker 25: and UH following him, and then learned for a big
47:18
Speaker 25: hour some of the things that Alverd can do. I
47:20
Speaker 25: I I can't really do cause he's such a strong guy,
47:22
Speaker 25: I know, but but I've just learned so much with him,
47:25
Speaker 25: just his leadership and the way he took care of himself.
47:27
Speaker 25: He took care of his business every day. And that's
47:29
Speaker 25: basically the two things I tried to implement it from
47:31
Speaker 25: both of him, both of their games.
47:33
Speaker 1: What what were some of the main things that you
47:35
Speaker 1: stopped to work on this off season to take a
47:37
Speaker 1: step in your game and just how you felt like
47:39
Speaker 1: you progress.
47:39
Speaker 4: In those areas.
47:40
Speaker 19: Uh.
47:40
Speaker 25: I feel like my biggest thing was I wanted to
47:42
Speaker 25: come in and give myself the best opportunity uh by
47:46
Speaker 25: being in shape and uh coming in and uh getting.
47:50
Speaker 4: My body right and getting my mind right.
47:52
Speaker 25: And I think the biggest things I've had to focus
47:54
Speaker 25: on his mind my ball get off and getting off
47:56
Speaker 25: the rock.
47:56
Speaker 4: Uh, and the past years, I feel like I wasn't
47:58
Speaker 4: doing that as well. So those are the big smoke
48:00
Speaker 4: as key points for me this year, UH speak year.
48:03
Speaker 4: I wanna ask a little bit about some younger guys
48:05
Speaker 4: and yes it's group talk about name you just seen
48:08

48:16
Speaker 25: you can ask for him. You know, they wy work
48:18
Speaker 25: really hard, they play really hard. You know, they come
48:21
Speaker 25: in every single day tryna learn and soak up everything,
48:23
Speaker 25: you know, and they listen very well.
48:25

48:28
Speaker 4: younger guys in the room.
48:30
Speaker 1: What is the Angelo specific bring to the table and
48:33

Speaker 25: he always wants to be better, and he he always
48:45
Speaker 25: wants to learn, you know, and he brings in this
48:47
Speaker 25: type of tenacitiest type of violence about him that that
48:51
Speaker 25: we really need in the room, you know. And and

Speaker 25: he's gonna be really special. I feel like he's gonna
48:56
Speaker 25: do a lot of great things too, did ja.
48:58
Speaker 1: What was it like for your first year year just
49:00
Speaker 1: kind of being more of that back up role and
49:02
Speaker 1: then now what it potentially to start with starting what
49:05
Speaker 1: was it might kind of.
49:06
Speaker 15: Waiting your time for me until you're highly ready to improve,
49:09
Speaker 15: and now.
49:09
Speaker 4: This is kind of your time.
49:11
Speaker 25: Uh, it's been a little harder at first, but you know,
49:14
Speaker 25: you gotta run your race. Uh Older, I got uh
49:17
Speaker 25: the more I noticed that, Uh, and everybody, everybody can't
49:20
Speaker 25: be through or done, you know, not everybody's meant to
49:22
Speaker 25: start right away.
49:23
Speaker 19: You know.
49:23
Speaker 25: You just gotta run your race and take your time,
49:26
Speaker 25: and with time and with learning you you will become
49:28
Speaker 25: what you wanna be.
49:29
Speaker 4: So what kept you from being too impatient? Wanna go
49:33
Speaker 4: somewhere else? Or what that? What's your get on?

Speaker 19: Uh?
49:36
Speaker 4: My main, My main, My two biggest things that I
49:38
Speaker 4: just love this place. Uh. I love being here. I
49:40
Speaker 4: love being an Aggy. So it's really hard for me
49:43
Speaker 4: to wanna lead.
49:43
Speaker 25: And and also my coaching staff and playing for coach
49:46
Speaker 25: Elcob and how they believe in me and and how
49:49
Speaker 25: they've beloved me into a better man and as well
49:51
Speaker 25: as a better player. It's so it's so hard to
49:53
Speaker 25: just wanna lead at this place. So I really believe
49:55
Speaker 25: in the stuff that we can do here.
49:57
Speaker 4: Is there something extra fun about this first couple of
50:00
Speaker 4: years we go on practice at night you don't have school.
50:02
Speaker 4: Kind of feels a little bit more like uh like
50:04
Speaker 4: a probe to prook camp or something like that. Uh,
50:08
Speaker 4: a little bit, you know, Uh, we not we not
50:10
Speaker 4: there yet.
50:10
Speaker 25: Not at the level of the pros, you know, but
50:13
Speaker 25: but it does feel like, uh, we just go out
50:15
Speaker 25: there and just focus on ball, you know, that's you know,
50:18
Speaker 25: that's what we like to do. So I feel like
50:20
Speaker 25: that was that's just how it feels to me, is Yeah,
50:22
Speaker 25: we can just go just play football, do what we
50:25
Speaker 25: love to do.
50:26
Speaker 4: You mentioned the offensive line earlier.
50:27
Speaker 1: I'm curious about Mark and specific just y what what
50:30
Speaker 1: he's meant for maybe bridging the gap with the new
50:32
Speaker 1: guys that they have on that offensive line, and just
50:34
Speaker 1: where you've seen.
50:35
Speaker 4: Him grow in his game this some sason.
50:36
Speaker 25: Yeah, he's a U really good leader, older guy. You know,
50:39
Speaker 25: a lot of those dudes in that room, the younger guys.
50:42
Speaker 25: I could tell they they look at him, you know,
50:44
Speaker 25: cause he has been a veteran in that room. And
50:47
Speaker 25: like I said, Mark pushes me, uh to even be
50:49
Speaker 25: better every day.
50:50
Speaker 21: You know.
50:51
Speaker 4: Uh, he's grown so much into a better player. So yeah,

51:01
Speaker 5: from him probably tomorrow. Said that DJ Hicks is one
51:07
Speaker 5: of the best linemen he's ever coached, and he's expected
51:13
Speaker 5: big things from him this this year. That's high praise
51:18
Speaker 5: from a guy that's been coaching for a while. Interesting.
51:24
Speaker 5: You know, it's always interesting to be in front of
51:27
Speaker 5: the coordinators and see how they handle themselves and some
51:36
Speaker 5: One of the reporters asked coach Hemphill today, hey, have
51:41
Speaker 5: you thought about the fact that you've reached this position
51:46
Speaker 5: as defensive coordinator at major university because he and Elko
51:51
Speaker 5: go way back, and there was a pause and he
51:58
Speaker 5: said no. He said, I'm in that time. I'm focused
52:03
Speaker 5: so hard on today and on getting guys better. I
52:08
Speaker 5: haven't had time to look at the big picture and
52:10
Speaker 5: step back and see things like that. It was also
52:15
Speaker 5: interesting listening to Homan Wiggins today, who we're gonna hear
52:19
Speaker 5: from here in a few minutes. I was talking to
52:25
Speaker 5: Dusty and I said, you know, he talks as fast
52:31
Speaker 5: as Jimbo did, but he's asked, actually answering all the questions.
52:40
Speaker 5: Even though Jimbo talked fast and most of the time
52:44
Speaker 5: Jimbo was fairly direct, I will say that, but you know,
52:48
Speaker 5: there were there times there were some tangents and things.
52:51
Speaker 5: But yeah, home home and Wiggins talked like he he
52:58
Speaker 5: was double parked in a no parking today. He answered
53:02
Speaker 5: all the questions and still is. You know, it's about
53:06
Speaker 5: close to fifteen minutes, but yeah, he was. He was
53:11
Speaker 5: flying through those answers. And again we're going to let
53:16
Speaker 5: you hear that here in a few minutes. Tomorrow I
53:24
Speaker 5: mentioned that Scott Clandennon is going to be with us.
53:28
Speaker 5: Mallory will be back with us tomorrow, and then on
53:31
Speaker 5: Thursday we've got our Clark Eisenhower Outdoor Edition. We have
53:37
Speaker 5: obviously some animal attack stories. We have the story of
53:43
Speaker 5: a I think it's a three and a half million
53:46
Speaker 5: dollar white marlin that was caught at a tournament I
53:51
Speaker 5: believe in Virginia recently. These guys who do deep sea
53:58
Speaker 5: fishing and fishies tournaments, there aren't any poor people that
54:05
Speaker 5: do this. They have very large boats, very expensive boats,
54:10
Speaker 5: seven figure boats in a lot of cases, and some
54:15
Speaker 5: of these guys travel and fish continually and a lot
54:19
Speaker 5: of these tournaments. The entry fees themselves are a lot,
54:26
Speaker 5: but if you hit, and the competition is crazy, if
54:32
Speaker 5: you hit, you get things like a three and a
54:35
Speaker 5: half million dollar check which will buy some gasoline to
54:41
Speaker 5: get out to the fishing grounds and back right, it
54:45
Speaker 5: will pay for a few travel expenses. But following these guys,
54:50
Speaker 5: it's amazing. Like I said, there aren't any people hurting
54:57
Speaker 5: for money that fish in those kind of tournament. I digress.
55:01
