Football #4: Cowboys vs Patriots & TX vs OU · The Treehouse Show Podcast

0:14
Welcome into the Treehouse Football Podcast. If my counting serves me correctly, this
0:23
would be Treehouse Football Podcast number four, one, two, three, yeah,
0:29
four. We're up to four now, gentlemen. Congratulations, Yeah we
0:33
made it. Yeah one said we wouldn't, and here we are. It
0:43
was a big, big weekend or North Texas Sports, obviously mainly discussing the
0:51
Dallas Cowboys shellacking of the vaunted New England Patriots. Turns out, so far
1:00
into this early season, the Cowboys will either kick the ship out of you
1:04
or let you kick the ship out of them, so at least there's not
1:08
a whole lot of middle ground so far this season. It's either or.
1:11
There is really only one thing I know for certain at this point in this
1:18
football season, and that's it. Chicago Bears are absolute garbage. I mean
1:25
that's really yeah. Yeah, that right there is one of those. Is
1:29
another one of those hot takes that this year football podcast is known for.
1:33
All right, good, okay, I wasn't. I'm not the only one
1:36
that, by episode four is only the only one that's been slow clapped.
1:41
Yes, thank you, that was medium clap. That was a medium clap.
1:45
I'll tell I'll till I'll still take it. You're in the middle of
1:48
it, you're rushed, You're in the middle of a tropical storm. So
1:52
that's a slow clap. If it wasn't flooding, they got them on the
1:57
side of a mountain. Is a small river flowing down the past my driveway.
2:06
So not only is Philippe kind of a dick because he's French, he's
2:09
also a dick because he's just sitting around on top of my house out here
2:14
in the Caribbean. But don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Yeah.
2:19
It was interesting, man. It was the first time with this Cowboys
2:22
game because it was Belichick's largest defeat in history. It's the first time I've
2:25
ever heard people talking about how his job was in danger because of just how
2:30
bad they look. And I never thought people need to stop that they really
2:36
do this. It is a very rare thing in the NFL period. Historically,
2:43
there's only a handful of examples where coaches were able to hang onto their
2:46
jobs for as long as they wanted them. And it's damn near impossible by
2:51
today's NFL standards to hang onto your job as a head coach for as long
2:53
as you want it. Bill Belichick is one of those very few who has
2:58
earned it. And I'm pretty sure by Craft would agree. It's hard for
3:01
me to fathom someday Bob Kraft saying, you know what, I'm done with
3:07
you, I mean his I mean Belichick's girl did it like, I mean,
3:10
she's like, I'm done with you, and that now you know,
3:14
that's what you know? That's well she leaves, hey, and then the
3:17
team confidence leaves like, I don't know what, Like he's given it to
3:22
Bob Craft far better than he ever did to his girlfriend. Well, I
3:27
mean, no, no, that's a very that's a very strong statement,
3:30
because Bob likes to go to the Rubin tugs and so I don't know.
3:35
And maybe the reason why is because he's not getting it good enough from from
3:38
from old Belichick. So maybe you're right there, Roj. That's what I'm
3:42
saying, man. And he's like, hey, man, if you're gonna,
3:44
if you're gonna let me down on the field, you better step it
3:46
up in here. And he's like, hey, man, if you if
3:47
we're not if we're not getting wins and we're not getting o's, they're they're
3:52
both kind of in the same boat. They lost their their favorite wingman,
3:58
and they're realizing that Max's not the it's not going to do it, so
4:02
they'll stay around. They asked him nicely. I think he was on double
4:10
secret probation and just failed. Anyway, let's backtrack. It's good to be
4:16
a Cowboys fan right now ish, and it's a bad time to be a
4:20
Bears fan. I'm not sure who I feel sorry or for right now,
4:26
Bears fans or Justin Fields personally, but there's nothing we can do about that
4:30
in this Yere Treehouse Football podcast. So let's go back to focusing on what
4:34
the Cowboys are able to do against the Patriots, which was a visibly distraught
4:39
Bill Belichick by did you guys see it? They? I think they showed
4:43
it a couple of times where he's just rubbing his face. Oh God,
4:46
I don't want to be here. Yeah. I think the difference was from
4:53
the week before with at Arizona was Trayvon Diggs had gone out, and I
4:59
think the whole team was like, like, maybe subconsciously, maybe consciously,
5:02
we're like, you know what, we don't have him there, so are
5:05
we vulnerable on defense? In the defensive backfield. I think when Bland stepped
5:11
up this week. It was like, Okay, we can we can play
5:15
as hard as we want to now because we have somebody. I'm not saying
5:18
he's as good. I mean, that was a great debut for that guy,
5:23
phenomenal. I'm not saying, excuse me, as good as Treyvon Diggs.
5:27
But I think they're now confident, like, okay, we got we
5:30
got that covered, so we're good, We're good to go. And I
5:34
think they played like that. There was a sigh of relief that they have
5:40
him back there now, and then they played all out because a thirty five
5:44
point defeat has never happened in the history of Bill Belichick's career. I think
5:48
it's important to point out also that you now have when you look at who
5:53
has scored touchdowns for the Cowboys so far this season, you have defensive guys
5:57
that have more touchdowns than offensive guys, which makes for a fun locker room.
6:02
And I think what may have happened is you may be you may be
6:05
circling on something there Raj that they lost Trayvon Diggs a few days before the
6:10
game in Arizona. Maybe that affected them, whether it was game planning or
6:14
whatever, it was a mental state can't really speak to that. That's on
6:16
that's that's an inside thing there. They would of course say, no,
6:20
it didn't. But however, when you get an additional week to plan for
6:26
his absence and those guys behind him get more reps in practice, then maybe
6:30
that's part of the reason Deron Bland had such a big game and the defense
6:33
felt a little more confident. It also helps when you know you you just
6:38
kind of play good all the way around and not lay a turd in the
6:43
middle of the desert. And I also want to, you know, give
6:46
credit to Vandoresh for scoring a touchdown before he gets injured at some point,
6:49
because he did you have the same thought I did, because he only he
6:54
only had like he only had like seven or eight yards between when he scooped
6:58
that ball to get to the end zone, afraid that something would get him
7:01
in those seven or eight yards. As soon as he crosses the end zone,
7:04
he starts reaching fred his hammy or something that I was worried he was
7:11
gonna start doing some celebration dance and then all of a sudden that hammy was
7:14
gonna pope. He goes to he goes into his wolf hallet. He just
7:17
breaks his entire spine. Yeah. I was when when when the when the
7:21
ball spike, I was like, check his shoulder, somebody check his shoulder.
7:25
He's out. He's out for the season. He's out for He pulled
7:28
a Martine gramatica the field goal win and touring his he l it is.
7:33
It is an interesting tradition so far in recent years, the white linebackers of
7:40
the Cowboys seem to be made of glass. Between Van Dersh and Sean Lee,
7:46
both very good players, and Sean Lee, if it wasn't for injuries,
7:49
might be uh, you know, steamrolling into the Ring of Honor,
7:54
maybe even you know, a Hall of Fame type of thing. Yeah,
7:57
Whereas you get teams like the Steelers where their linebacking uh cores is scary.
8:03
So there's been a shift from the old linebackers of the Cowboys day, you
8:09
know, in the Cowboys history, to today where it's like, man,
8:11
you just got to keep them in a bubble. Yeah, I just you
8:16
know, when you're when your last name is vander Esh like, I don't
8:20
know, I'm like, who put you up to this? Who wanted?
8:24
Who wanted? Whose dreams are you fulfilling? Why are you messing with Layton's
8:28
last name? To me, his first name is wimper. But yeah,
8:33
but then you combined the whole thing and it's like, yeah, he says
8:35
his name and something gets torn, Like that's that's like he just tears his
8:41
throat and he's out for the season again. Yeah. I was. When
8:50
I saw him scoop up the ball, was like, slow, slow,
8:54
slow down, buddy, Just you're there, You're there, nobody's behind you.
8:58
And then he went up and he went to spike that ball. I
9:01
was like, hey, yeah, he's gonna f something up right now.
9:03
And then he ran off the field and then he played it great for the
9:07
rest of the game. I was like, all right, I'm just waiting
9:07
for the news to come out. Like you know what it was he adrenaline.
9:11
He didn't realize that he had lost an arm. Uh. After the
9:16
celebration, we saw it on the field. We didn't know whose it was.
9:20
We picked it up, we assumed it was his, and we kept
9:24
just put it on ice in the blue tint. But I mean, how
9:28
clutch. I mean, let's just I mean, how fun is it to
9:31
watch ceedee lamb Like that is just he's just so much fun to watch,
9:37
and he's you know what, I'm really glad you brought him up because who
9:41
I'm actually very finally excited for is Michael Gallup. Yeah, and not just
9:46
because he's coming off that knee injury last year, but because for so much
9:50
of his career they've basically just said all right, you go along. And
9:54
I've heard before because it wasn't like he didn't he didn't understand, or he
10:01
didn't know the playbook or the plays well enough, or he wasn't good at
10:03
certain routes, so he had to improve on running you know, all the
10:07
other routes that are available besides the all right, just go deep. But
10:11
that for so long seemed like that's all they used him for. Lately,
10:16
though, they've been using him in uh, in space and he's a physical
10:20
receiver, yeah, like Ceedee lamb Is. You know, he's more of
10:24
the speed and shifty guy, whereas Michael Gallop, he's he can make you
10:28
miss, but he also just run your ass over. So I've actually enjoyed
10:31
them putting the ball in his hands in space and watching him do things with
10:35
it, as opposed to just all right, Michael, you just you just
10:37
go along, Yeah, I mean Gallup was more of a like a brute
10:39
force. And then you got Ceedel Lamb, who's like finesse. He's like
10:43
fun, like he's the fun guy to watch, like you like when you
10:46
know, like it's like Jerry Rice, like it was fun to watch Montana
10:48
and Rice like when that ball was in the area, like, Okay,
10:52
he's got it unless something bizarre happens, like he would catch things that you
10:56
don't think you can catch. And Ceedee Lamb reminds me of that where it's
11:01
like it's in the air and you're like, ah, he's got it,
11:03
and then he comes down with it and he just looks. He looks around
11:05
like what y'all think I wasn't gonna get it. I got it. Like
11:09
that's how we like. That's how he like tosses the ball back to the
11:13
rets like this is yours. I had it for a second, like you
11:16
know what I mean. And that's kind of it's fun to overall the great
11:20
man that it's a great feeling. I mean, if you had said at
11:24
the beginning of the year, the Cowboys will be off to a three and
11:28
one start, we all would have said, I'll take it. Yeah,
11:31
However, once you learned that one loss was against a winless Arizona team,
11:35
You're like, yeah, four and oh but I think that's also the life
11:41
of a Cowboys fan, is you always have higher expectations. Yeah, but
11:43
didn't it. I mean, your two blowout wins are we're so much fueled
11:48
by defense, you know, I mean your offense offense is still so sketchy.
11:54
It is, and it's it is something that the Cowboys have to contend
11:58
with the fact that the the Cowboys defense has a better red zone scoring percentage
12:03
than the offense does. Yeah, but hopefully they'll get that figured out.
12:11
Yeah, They've got time. And I think for the most part, everyone's
12:13
fairly healthy. So I think it's uh, oh, well that was weird.
12:18
Uh that a phone call? Okay, did you did you see it
12:24
light up? And then before the full ring happened you silenced it? That
12:28
was that was lightning fast cat like I have, I have ceedee lamb like
12:33
reflexes. He's piloting the millennium falcon. Uh. Yeah, I think they're
12:43
I think they're, you know, fairly healthy as far as the offense goes,
12:46
and I think that takes time over week by week and they've had that
12:50
time, They've had time to get everybody on that side healthy, and they've
12:52
got nothing as far as the debut, seeing that if you play all out
12:56
like that every week, I think the the debut of Trump Bland, I
13:01
think that's I mean, I think they can have some confidence and rest kind
13:03
of easy that they got that side of the game figured out. So Yeah.
13:09
The on the downside, though, is not everything on the offensive side
13:11
is healthy because Tyron Smith is now injured, which I mean, I'm not
13:16
really that surprised. I don't think anyone is. And there's a reason.
13:20
There's a reason why they've made changes that they have, because they've been planning
13:22
for him not to you know, go through a full season and it's and
13:26
it's it's sad when those things happen, but it's also not surprising. As
13:30
someone that's been left tackle in the league for a long time, I'm surprised
13:33
you can still walk at all. Yeah, but you know, it is
13:39
an interesting thing, Raj, because you brought up, you know, the
13:41
old school forty nine ers, and that leads us into the matchup this week,
13:45
which is the big test early on in the season. Is Yeah,
13:48
you know, three and one Cowboys undefeated forty nine ers at San Francisco,
13:54
and you know during the game they're going to be playing all the old montages
13:58
from the nineties of this Steve Young forty nine Ers and the Akman Cowboys going
14:03
head to head in playoff games and title games, and you know, the
14:05
road to the Super Bowl went through those two teams for so many years,
14:09
and now maybe, just maybe it might happen again instead of in the divisional
14:15
round where they keep kicking the crap out of us. Yeah, and hang
14:20
on and all of that in the you know ninety See, you don't think
14:22
they're gonna you know, you don't think you'll see the catch at least one
14:26
hundred times. Yes, it's better enough as a Cowboys fan to be sick
14:31
of the catch for this, for the catch's sake, just just for what
14:33
it meant in that one damn game. But the fact that you then have
14:37
to be subjected to it for the rest of your living life is unnecessary.
14:45
Unless they unless they handle a win, then they won't show that. Then
14:48
we'll be like, oh, you know, they've overcome that. Whatever they
14:52
just optics wise, I don't think they would. But the I mean the
14:56
the the guy who had the game of the week last week is Christian mccaff
15:00
I mean, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta shut him down completely.
15:05
And I don't know how you do it. I don't know what the
15:07
game plan is, but that guy is just the real deal when it comes
15:11
to San Francisco. I mean he basically between him and brod Perty they won't.
15:16
Those two won that game last week for those guys. So if we
15:20
can, if you can, if you can, shut him down, and
15:22
I don't care if you have to have ninety the defense just on that one
15:26
guy. I don't know what you do. I'm not I'm not there calling
15:30
the place. I'm not trying to figure out strategy. I'm just saying,
15:33
if somebody's got a a club and doesn't mind going to prison, I'm just
15:37
saying, if we can, you know, if we can, I guess
15:43
I I guess. Yeah. You could pull a Tanya Harding, or you
15:48
call up one of those phone numbers in the back of a in the back
15:50
of a magazine somewhere to yeah, have someone do it for you, whatever
15:54
it is. Yeah, wherever wherever you find hit Man. I don't know
15:58
how it goes Uh, or you guys are white. Where do you find
16:03
it? Man? Uh, come on, that's not fair. I watch
16:07
a lot of investigation Discovery, It's very fair. I don't know about it
16:15
then, But because of Trey's affection for crazy women, I guarantee you he
16:19
knows chicks. Just just just yeah, just just tell one of your crazy
16:25
exs that you now play for San Francisco and your name is Christian Mcca and
16:30
you'll be at this particular location at this particular time, ice skating around as
16:36
Trey calls up every single Tanya Harding in his little Black book to come get
16:41
him. Probably just called Tanya Hearty. She's not doing anything. Maybe cheap
16:49
too, Yeah, you probably get her on cameo. All right. So,
16:59
speaking of uh going back Cowboys against forty nine Ers. So the media
17:03
has been chewing up, has been chewing up that storyline all week because of
17:07
the recent woes the Cowboys have had against the forty nine Ers in the playoffs.
17:11
So they decided to instead of let the Cowboys and Dak Prescott enjoy the
17:17
win over the Patriots at home last week. Yeah, they decided to then
17:22
ask Dak in the post game about the lead up to the forty nine ers
17:26
rematch, Dak, what was the film leaving that locker in last January against
17:33
those guys. At this point Dak starts to answer, he looks, he
17:40
looks back down towards the middle of the room, and then he cocks his
17:45
head back to the right towards that reporter with the face of you serious.
17:51
Yeah. Yeah, but it's not very often you see that killer look from
17:56
Dak out, you know, off the field. But that's intimidating. Yeah,
18:03
I love it. I didn't know because I saw, I didn't know
18:07
where it was like. When he thought thought about his answer, I'm like,
18:11
where is this gonna go? Well, let's find out. Yeah,
18:15
I mean it's obvious. I mean we're so far past that, to be
18:18
honest with you, but that's obvious. I mean, you just want to
18:22
piss me off going to this weekend. I appreciate that. I do,
18:23
Actually I do, so Trey knows from dealing with crazy women. Yeah,
18:30
when they look at you with that look in their eyes and they tell you,
18:33
I appreciate you doing this for me. I don't care what you're wearing,
18:41
what you're not wearing. You do not stop and grab anything you run,
18:45
run. Yeah, you don't stop running, and you do not look
18:49
back because she'll be there. And if you're this reporter, you don't look
18:56
back because Dak will be there, apparently, but that lets you know how
19:00
well they're doing when that's the only question you can come up with is well,
19:06
what about last January? And like, hey, how about we enjoy
19:08
this moment? How about it? Also? And also to point out last
19:11
January's last January, they're a different, somewhat different team this year. We're
19:17
a somewhat different team this year. Although to be fair, the forty nine
19:22
ers actually look better right now than they did last January. Let's get back
19:27
to what Dak had to say about the reporter. You just want to piss
19:33
me off going to this weekend. I appreciate that. I do, Actually
19:34
I do. Yeah, I appreciate that. Appreciate that lost drive. You
19:40
guys, I mean every day, every day, every day time, every
19:45
day. And then he shifts to the smile and the laugh, like,
19:48
Okay, yeah, I've been in situations in my stand up where I've had,
19:53
you know, a predominantly black audience and I've picked on a guy a
19:56
little too long. I get that, Like, oh, it's cool,
20:00
man, keep going, it's cool, keep going. And I'm like,
20:03
oh, he doesn't mean keep going, he means stop right damn now before
20:07
I punch you in your face. And I'm like, oh man, we're
20:11
good. I was just kidding, man, we're good. And then this
20:14
smile happens, like not mag you're fine. I'm like, okay, we're
20:15
good. Now. Now now we're good. He's smiling. Uh, And
20:18
I'm gonna move on and I'll never talk to that person again. And usually
20:22
they'll come up afterwards and like that was good man. I was like,
20:25
I appreciate not murdering me, thank you. So yeah, I've witnessed that
20:32
look firsthand. And for that reporter, I'm sure he was just like please,
20:36
we're they're filming this show, some show, some yeah. Well yeah.
20:41
I think I think he found a little bit of solace in the fact
20:44
that he was surrounded by people. So there's safety in numbers, and you
20:47
know, there's also a number of cameras and things recording devices in general.
20:52
However, I think you need to be careful when you make fun of a
20:55
grown NFL player who's wearing a suit from the way, sup. Yeah,
21:00
but no longer are suit pants the norm now they just wear shorts or suit
21:11
shorts that match the jacket. Yeah, and that's it. That's it.
21:17
Yeah, that's a confident look. I mean, because you know someone's gonna
21:22
say something, or you want somebody to say something about your suit shorts.
21:26
That's why it's NFL players that and some NBA players that wear it, because
21:32
only professional athletes can get can wear that. When everybody goes, oh,
21:36
that looks good, deep down you want to make fun of it, but
21:38
you're like, what are the odds of them whooping my ass? And you're
21:41
like, man, that's pretty good. Let's compliment. I've actually thought about
21:47
buying one of those and sending it to Trey. He just looks looked like
21:53
one of those kids from the nineteen twenties outside of a school. That's his
22:00
year book photo from from nineteen twenty six. No thought, sorry, try,
22:08
I thought, looks like you're about to say something that I couldn't tell
22:11
if your screen locked up or you did. I did. Well, let's
22:17
hope it's limited to just you and not the Cowboys against the forty nine ers
22:19
this week. Yeah. I don't like I, none of us. Let's
22:25
just be honest, none of us can pull that suit look off. I've
22:27
seen a few. I've seen it like Lebron pulls it off because he's Lebron.
22:33
Uh, and nobody's gonna say anything to him. Look, you can
22:34
accomplish great things with enough money, and then that includes buying people around you
22:40
not to tell you how stupid you look. Yeah, and I just and
22:44
hats off to the maker of that or the designer of that combination because they
22:48
went in like, you know what, someone is gonna wear this well,
22:52
not only that it's it's brilliant because they're charging more for less material. Had
22:59
There's the most any thing you've ever said. Let's call it like I said,
23:07
you listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online, that Treehouse on air
23:12
dot com. You're listening to the Treehouse. Visit us online, that Treehouse
23:37
on air dot com. You are back in the Treehouse Football Podcast. I'm
23:45
Daniel Maling along with Trede Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Now that we have covered
23:52
the Cowboys forty nine ers very minimally, let's move on to the next big
23:56
matchup this weekend. I'm speaking, of course, about our very own trade
24:03
trend Holmes Longhorns going up against the Sooners of Oklahoma. Yeah, this would
24:11
be one of those great times where if I really wanted to fabricate some conflict
24:15
inside the treehouse, I could say, you know what, I was born
24:19
in Oklahoma. Some people think I've moved back as opposed to living on a
24:25
Caribbean island. That's not true, but whatever. Most people don't willingly move
24:29
back to Oklahoma. In fact, I don't think I know anyone that ever
24:32
has. So if I wanted to, I could say I was born in
24:36
Oklahoma, and I'm a Sooner till I die and f those Horns. And
24:40
but I really don't give a damn except I do love this game because it
24:48
is one of the all time great college football matchups. Every single year,
24:52
it doesn't typically matter what the rankings are for either team. It's you just
24:57
have no idea, roll all the expectations, what you think should happen out
25:02
the window, and you just sit back and just watch two schools play each
25:04
other that absolutely hate each other's guts. Yeah, and and and it's such
25:10
a cool, uh visually when you look at the Cotton Bowl and it's half
25:15
of orange, half red, and it's such so much fun, and this
25:18
it just has all the ear markings of just breaking my heart. And that's
25:22
why I am just a nervous wreck this week because any time, I mean
25:26
especially, I mean it seems like most years, oh you has the momentum
25:32
and even if we're both ranked and whatever, both but this year with Texas
25:36
has like a little more momentum and they're higher ranked. It's like this is
25:40
when Texas just usually guts me. And so I'm I'm looking forward to the
25:45
game, but man, I am so nervous because I just it has all
25:49
the everything in the history of Texas just of being just a huge letdown,
25:53
and I'm gonna be crying. It's a good thing that it It's a good
26:00
thing that the Cotton Bowl doesn't have a roof, because your anxiety would be
26:03
going through it. Yes, are you going to the game? Probably not?
26:08
Okay, probably end up having to work. Oh gosh, I was.
26:11
I just thought you were that nervous, like you couldn't Well, it's
26:15
not just nerves on his part. If Tray was actually go to the game
26:18
and and Texas was to let him down in the way that he is so
26:22
fearful, then there'd be more red in the stands, but not from the
26:26
ou Crimson. Yeah, you know, and again going back to just looking
26:32
good? Uh u two? Does you two looks really really good? Every
26:37
game I've watched this year so far, so good man? They oh time
26:40
out. I'm not. I'm not, I'm not. I'm not saying.
26:44
The last time you said they look really good, Yeah, it was about
26:48
the Cowboys and then like four dudes got hurt, including Trayvon Diggs for the
26:52
year. So are you are you putting are you putting that your hex on
26:56
on Trey's longhorns? No, I'm just saying, oh, you looks good,
27:00
and let's yeah, I said, oh you look actually yeah, let
27:06
him say, oh you looks great. Yeah, that's what I'm fine.
27:07
What do you What did you guys think I was talking about? Oh you
27:10
looks fantastic. And I think they're gonna everybody's gonna stay healthy throughout the entire
27:14
game and nobody's gonna go down with a massive injury. That's that's my prediction
27:18
for the Oklahoma Sooners. Trey, how do you feel about going to the
27:22
game now? Much better? So, at least if you go to the
27:29
game right now, your expectations are to have a happy cordy dog afterwards,
27:33
as opposed to a sad Yeah. I you know, I've always That's why,
27:37
you know, when out of high school, I applied to UT and
27:41
uh, you know I got in. I missed, I missed, uh
27:45
registering for classes by an hour because of the grid. It's so weird to
27:48
follow, but they don't let you have to wait till the next semester.
27:52
So I ended up going to Southwest with the idea of transferring over just because
27:55
of like watching growing up watching UT football and seeing that that pageantry in that
28:02
and that uh and that rivalry and and the team spirit. And then I
28:06
went to Southwest and when you're like seeing the stadium is half red and half
28:10
orange, and I'm like seeing a stadium that's like the one half has you
28:14
know, four people in it and the other half. Uh. You know
28:18
our vagrants that wandered in, just the homeless from Austin. They didn't have
28:21
anywhere to go. Uh. And then no, no, no, it's
28:25
not that they didn't have anywhere else to go. It's because Austin busted them
28:27
to you for the weekend so they wouldn't bother all the Longhorn fans and and
28:33
and I'm curious about this because I've never really been to the Southwest Texas campus
28:37
and what is now Texas State. But from all the stories I've heard throughout
28:41
the years, not just from the uage, but from anybody that's ever been
28:44
there or attended school there, it's not that Texas State or Southwest Texas doesn't
28:49
have its own pageantry and traditions. They're just very different than the ones to
28:55
its big brother to the north. Yes, very very different. You guys
29:00
like Longhorns have a long pedigree of successful football and athletics, whereas Southwest Texas
29:07
has a pedigree of its own chlamydia stream yes, which which somebody and a
29:11
listener actually posted h to my page. It was like, you know what,
29:15
I went to Southwest Texas and he's like, I was really good at
29:19
talking to women and he got chamydia twice in the same semester. So I
29:25
think he's in our ring of honor or in some sort of or some or
29:29
he had ringworm of honor. I don't know what. I don't know what
29:30
happened, but it's more of a circle of chlamydia. Yeah. He I
29:37
was like, man, I was like, you are a legend. We've
29:38
heard about you on campus like two time. Committee dude, Yeah we got
29:41
you. Uh but like yeah, but you see, you see all this
29:45
this great stuff and now you know Texas State is now. They're like I
29:49
remember going back the first time years and years and years ago and seeing like
29:53
the kids on campus wearing like Texas State shirts like with the because they changed
29:59
the logo on it, and people were walking around. I'm like, what
30:03
is this bolt of school pride? What is happening right now? We do
30:08
not do this? Uh? What is this thing about going to class?
30:14
Yeah? What is what are you guys graduating? What are you talking about?
30:18
That's all this that is not the point of this university. There's a
30:22
river, let's go float it and let's reassess. Okay, we need to
30:26
get our priorities back in line. We have a drive through beer barn that
30:30
doesn't even they don't even. Yeah, I mean when you have a director
30:33
that sells booze like you can get like you can get a Dacora to go,
30:36
I'm like, what do you mean, Like, oh, we just
30:37
put tape across the top. I'm like, I love this place. So
30:42
is the drive through Booze Barn at Southwest Texas. Was it actually across the
30:48
street from campus on campus or was it like in the bookstore. Uh,
30:52
yes, there's a bar. There's a bar on campus in the student union.
30:59
There there's a full on bar. And they had this whole They had
31:02
this brilliant idea. It's just when your brain works faster than technology. They
31:07
had this brilliant idea. When they open it with thing it's called the lines
31:11
that are the something den. I don't know what it's called. I think
31:15
it's the Den. Maybe. I'm pretty sure your mascot's the Bobcats, right,
31:18
Yeah, so that's the den. Uh. And uh, they had
31:22
this thing like where you had to scan your ID and if you had a
31:26
class within a certain amount of time, it wouldn't it wouldn't allow you to
31:30
buy a beer. Well that's cool and in theory, it's fantastic. Uh,
31:34
they just didn't have the technology to do it. So you had people
31:38
showing up just rip roaring, wasted classes. I'm like, now, this
31:42
is what I signed up for. I appreciate this. I mean, I'm
31:45
gonna mess up. I'm gonna be fair. They were a fair There were
31:48
a fair number of history makers throughout time that were drunk when they did some
31:52
major things. It's more it's more like Southwest Texas cosplay. I was like,
31:57
I'm gonna ruin the curve for everybody in this room. All right,
32:01
trade, you have a prediction for Texas, so you which, By the
32:05
way, if anyone can say red River Rivalry any times fast, you should
32:09
get a trophy. I hate that name, but they have to be PC
32:14
because they can't. They couldn't call it the Red River Shootout anymore. Oh
32:17
yeah, uh prediction. I'm gonna go out on a limb and I'm gonna
32:22
say forty five thirty five Texas. Wow, I dig it. It's interesting
32:29
all that anxiety that you mentioned earlier, you're still going with a ten point
32:32
win. I think, be really close and then Texas will get a like
32:37
kind of a trash time touchdown. But you'll take it, of course,
32:44
absolutely. Yeah. Those things sometimes can push you, Yeah, you over,
32:49
So they're important push your Oh puh oh you mean push the over the
32:53
over? Yes? So, so do you have money on this game?
33:00
Yet? You're going to put money on the game. Yeah, that's always
33:06
it. I'll wake up Saturday see how I feel. If I've for some
33:13
reason I'm really overconfident, then yes, wow, okay, I dig it
33:16
man, and and go ahead. It'll probably just like salt in the wound
33:22
of not only do we lose, but then I you know, when I
33:25
pay my bookie here. Now, I think the salt in the wold would
33:30
be when your bookie's wearing as Sooner's jersey and he welcomes you with an open
33:40
wallet, and he went to ut Now he went to Southwest Texas. All
