  Speaker 1: three up in Norman. They played in Whether yesterday. No
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: baseball team should should have to play in Frankly, but
• 5:23

• 5:27
  Speaker 1: better than Steven F. Austin. I do know that that
• 5:31

  Speaker 1: So keep that in mind, okay, and we'll talk baseball
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: coming up here in a little bit in with the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: writers as well. Speaking of baseball, the United States beat
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic two to one last night. The DR
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: was averaging ten runs a game. They will be in
• 6:27

  Speaker 1: combined for over twenty eight hundred home runs. This is
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: in major leagues, okay. Eighty eight hundred runs scored, seventy
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: six hundred walks. Fourteen of the starting eighteen received the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: PEE votes last year. Aaron Judge called it the best
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: of the best, and he said the WBC crowds are
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: quote bigger and better than the World Series. The crowd
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: here meeting in Houston, the crowd we had when we
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: played Mexico. It's bigger and better than the World Series.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: The passion these fans have nothing like it. The US
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: kept the DR fans mostly quiet last night in that
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: two to one game, and they were helped out by
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: a horrible third strike call to end the game with
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the tying run for the dr on second base last night.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: But hey, we don't care. The US won. They're in

• 11:58
  Speaker 1: album that started the Texas music scene. It could be
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: argued or that took it, I would say to another level,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and it just it became one of those iconic albums,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and Jerry Jeff became one of those iconic Texas singer
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: songwriters from New York via Key West at New Orleans.
• 12:30

  Speaker 1: Glad to have you with us. Yesterday, Man one of

  Speaker 1: the last team announced, and I kept saying they're good.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I mean they're in there, we know they're in and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: then it was seven to ten and you're going, well,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think they jumped up to a seventh but
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you know, you never know what the committee's going to do.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: But in that South regional, uh, they got the ten seed.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: They will play Thursday evening. Here is Bucky after the announcement.
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: You know, Frank caught it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 9: Frank coach eighth, caught us that I think we're gonna
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: get Saint Mary's in Oak City. Like really, all right,
• 13:20
  Speaker 9: Saint Mary's in Oak City. We got good memories in
• 13:22
  Speaker 9: Oak City, don't we? For the Aggies's just not find
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: ourselves down by twelve about a minute, Well, what do
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: you know about Saint Mary's any any initial I mean
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: they're good every year.
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: They're tough.
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: I mean they're tough, they're well coached, they smart, got
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: good guard play. Usually they've got size, you know, dangerous team.
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: You know, like they all are all right. So you know,
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: if someone asked me anybody that you, uh, you don't
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: want to play, He's like, yeah, I don't want to
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: play any of them, you know, but that's just adventure.
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: Then say tournament. I mean, there's it's always a it's
• 13:53
  Speaker 9: always gonna be a tough matchup. So you play well,
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: you give yourself a chance. That's what it comes down.
• 13:58
  Speaker 10: To up would you rather be going in?
• 14:03
  Speaker 11: Hop you set?
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: You say, as how do you feel about.
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: Just about where the team is going into determined.
• 14:09
  Speaker 12: Off but a game that obviously wasn't one of your
• 14:11
  Speaker 12: best feel somewhat confident that that will fuel them and
• 14:19
  Speaker 12: the way that they will react a positive way, or
• 14:21
  Speaker 12: you know, how do you feel like the mindset?
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: The good thing is that we're able to practice, like
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: we had two practice yesterday, one to day and we
• 14:28
  Speaker 9: haven't been a really practice in a while just because
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: we're trying to get through that gauntlet of sec play.
• 14:33
  Speaker 9: And so the positive since we did lose on Thursday
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: that we got to really practice hard.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: Which I think is gonna help us.
• 14:40
  Speaker 9: We need to get back to that and being able
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: to practice and clean some things up, which I thought
• 14:45
  Speaker 9: we had some really good practice here.
• 14:47
  Speaker 10: What does it mean to you to be here in
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: their first first year here?
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: It means a lot.
• 14:52
  Speaker 9: I mean, like when we set out, like I know
• 14:56
  Speaker 9: a lot of people probably when we didn't have a roster,
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: we're piecing together a lot of people know, hey could
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: you could we get in there?
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: And I thought this script could I did?
• 15:04
  Speaker 10: I did?
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: From the start, I thought we could get in there.
• 15:06
  Speaker 9: Mackenzie gets hurt, and we knew we have to really
• 15:08
  Speaker 9: play well in SEC League play. But you know, to
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: to the SEC's the toughest league in the country top
• 15:16
  Speaker 9: to bottom. To finished tied for fourth in that league.
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: It would have been a travesty if these guys didn't
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: get the opportunity, because that means they brought it pretty
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: much every night over over the course of eighteen games, and.
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: So it means a lot.
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: And I'm really happy for these these players here that
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: because a lot of them hadn't got to experience it,
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: and there's nothing like it, you know, to.
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: That point the uniqueness of it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 10: Having veterans that have been there, like Ryland, how important
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: is it to lean on guys like that in a
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: moment like this.
• 15:42
  Speaker 9: I think it's important because I think you got a
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: decision to make. You can either go to be a
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: part of the show, you know, and part of the circus,
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: or you can go to play good basketball. And I
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: think those that have been there can you know, really
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: affect others by telling them like, look, we're going there,
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: we want to be back here next weekend talking about
• 16:00
  Speaker 9: Sweet sixteen, not that we just had a fun trip, right.
• 16:03
  Speaker 9: I mean the feeling when you play in the NC Tournament.
• 16:07
  Speaker 9: Our coaching's the same way. When I was at Sanford
• 16:08
  Speaker 9: and we did it like we were a thirteen seed
• 16:11
  Speaker 9: playing Kansas, but when they tipped that ball up, it
• 16:14
  Speaker 9: hits you that you're playing for a national championship. Like
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: That's what makes nca tournaments so great. I don't care
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: if the sixteen seed the thirteen seed like we were, ten.
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: Doesn't matter. You're playing for a national championship.
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: And so many seeds from have done things and made
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: it deep in the tournament, got to the final four,
• 16:31
  Speaker 9: and that's what makes the tournament so great.
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: How was this roster kind of grown and developed over
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: the course of the year to get themselves to this game.
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: It's a true definition of a bunch of individuals coming
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: together to form into a team. I mean, there's no
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: greater example than that. We had more turnover than every
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: other team in college basketball. We had no returning scholarship players,
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: so we literally and go I'd be interested to see
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: those that got in that large bid if anyone had
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: dealt with that, Like, go look at the large bids.
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: You know, most of the teams that were in our situation.
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: They're not in the tournament right now. They may have
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: had some glimpses, but they didn't. They weren't able to
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: sustain it because they didn't have enough invested in each
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: other when things got tough to keep going. So for
• 17:14
  Speaker 9: this group to make it, they literally had to take
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: guys and never played with each other and become a
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: true team to fight through that verse. You're gonna see
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: through the season and play play good enough basketball to
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: make it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 12: Fucky, you said that you got of you expected this
• 17:27
  Speaker 12: and everybody knows the situation. You've walked into here and
• 17:31
  Speaker 12: you were what pick thirteenth or fourteenth and this he said,
• 17:33
  Speaker 12: So what did you see and know about this team
• 17:36
  Speaker 12: that nobody else did?
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: They were older. I saw that they were good people.
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: And you will say, I know that sounds like cliche.
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: Is everybody that sounds like their runner up trophy a
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: lot of times when people say that, But like, I've
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: just been a part of this long enough that if
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: there's a baseline level of talent and they're good enough people,
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: they're gonna have an opportunity to get through the tough
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: And I think that's probably what separated our group more
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: than a lot of teams that that you know, they
• 18:01
  Speaker 9: had a better non league, may had a little more,
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: you know, maybe had more NBA players or something.
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: Is that we were able to.
• 18:09
  Speaker 9: Win close games and then when we things didn't go great,
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: we were able to snap back and keep improving. And
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: that's what kind of separated You do that with good
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: people that are mature enough with the base on level
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: of talent. You know, I'm not going to say that
• 18:25
  Speaker 9: I was doing jumping jacks for joy when Mackenzie got hurt.
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: I mean, you know that was tough. I didn't.
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: I wasn't concerned when we I really wasn't concerned when
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: we lost to Oklahoma States as bad as we did
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: early in the season because I knew just where we
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: were and that.
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: Was up front about that.
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: But if you go back and you look at some
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: of the the tough losses early or where we were
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: early and see where we are and where some of
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: the other teams are not, speaks a lot about our team.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: It's about where you can get to and how you
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: can persefere to get to play for a national championship.
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: How do you kind of balance the excitement and staying
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: focused at the same.
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: Time, I just think that if you have the right
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: mindset with these players and these veterans, they're not eighteen
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: years old and seventeen years old, and this isn't about
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: going to the county fair like their competitors, and they're
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: great competitors, so they want to do well in it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: And you know, anything can happen tournament basketball, but nothing's
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: going to happen if you don't play well.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: You're talking about diversity.
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: You did mention you know you're going to go through
• 19:32
  Speaker 10: some adversity.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: You guys have some.
• 19:34
  Speaker 14: Downfalls in sec play.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: How are you guys going to overcome it? And what
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: do you hope to see the.
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: Guys do in March?
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean you got to know that, Like you know,
• 19:42
  Speaker 9: years ago when A and M was down by twelve
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: in Oklahoma City City, it was the greatest example of
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: the adversity that you're going to see that they were
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: able to overcome to get past that round and make
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: it the Sweet sixteen. You have that through a course
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: of the season, You're danger're going to have it through
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: the course of the game. We've shown glimpses this season
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: where things weren't great. We've come back and made great runs.
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: But it's just going to be that steady consistency in
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: this tournament versus a team that is known to be
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: really consistent. I mean, you know, Saint Mary's is a
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: very consistent, level headed team. They've been to tournament several times,
• 20:12
  Speaker 9: they've made runs, They've had NBA players, So you know,
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: to give yourself a chance, you can't, you know, mentally,
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: let one play effect the next play.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: A lot of people bought into the ideology of you relying,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and I bought into it. So can you talk a
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: little bit about what this needs for the twelve man?
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Is the community here and.
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: We wouldn't do it without, you know, the support here.
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: And like when like I, when we got here, we
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: had one player on the roster, so you go to
• 20:39
  Speaker 9: meet with the team, there's one player and then you
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: look at selection Sunday and it's the whole community here.
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: That's I mean, that speaks volumes about what this is
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: about here. And this won't be our first n State tournament.
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: You'll one day we'll get to a final four here,
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: hopefully in two weeks. But if it's not one day,
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: one day we'll get there. And the most fun times
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: is when everyone had ownership in a program and everybody
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: had to come together in a community, had to rally
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: together to make it happen. And that's what that's what
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: we've done this season to make this happen. And we
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: got to keep going on.
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: Until you talk about the honesty you are about the
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: talent and the roster you have.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: So when you look at tournament play, you always said
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: this is tournament's sport.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Do you think your team is built to have its
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: best run at this time of year.
• 21:23
  Speaker 9: I think that we're a hard matchup for teams after
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: the first game because there's a little prep time. Right
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: when our guards are playing well, we're a very tough matchup.
• 21:35
  Speaker 9: Guards are gonna guards have to play well in March.
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: Like when you look at it, you look at who
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: won the SEC this year, this year the tournament, you
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: have pretty good guard there, right, you look when we
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: played well, our guards have played really well.
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: I think we got very capable guards and some that have.
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: Been in this moment and when they're playing well, I
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: think we're capable playing with anybody in the tournament.
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: Went to the last region of announci guys or the
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: or the Earth.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: There's lesson say I mean I knew we were in
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: like just watching it and knowing where it all stacked up,
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: So it was just who we're gonna play? Who would
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: be the two? See where were we going? So I
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: love that we're in Oak City because it's close, close
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: by and there's a history to it. And then from
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: there it's just like I said, you know, people can say, well,
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: I wish we'd played this team, or I wish we'd
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: played that team, or I wish this would have been
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: the second round game we got past the first one.
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: But I mean, you don't even know who you're gonna
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: play in the second round. Honestly, in this tournament, you
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: know who're gonna play play in the third round. You
• 22:31
  Speaker 9: only know you got one game, and there's just been
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: so many deals where it's like, well, hey, if we
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: get by the first one, we're gonna play this team,
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: and then if we get back, we're gonna play this team.
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: You know, all these upsets is crazy. It's just your path.
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: So it's a one game season right now, and it's
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: all about you know what we got to do to
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: play best basketball for Saint Mary's.
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: And you can go back to the last thing you're Okay,
• 22:49
  Speaker 10: see were you watching those games?
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: Where do you do?
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: You see the highlights?
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: You remember kind of where you were when you learned
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: about what happened in that game.
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: I was watching it live when it happened, and I
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: texted Mitch Cole and I actually found the text recently
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: because he had an old phone. And I said, man,
• 23:04
  Speaker 9: that is unbelievable. He said crazy, and and he said
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: and he and and in that game, so we we
• 23:12
  Speaker 9: we run a press. Our press is kind of based
• 23:15
  Speaker 9: on a little bit of that. This guy that I
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: played for in college. You know, we didn't press a
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: lot that the way we line up, and we called
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: it one forties, right, the press and the press they
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: ran to get back in that game was our one
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: forty press. It's the same position. Like it's kind of
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: unique and how it's described. You know, I just remember
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: Coach Cole sent me back at one forties, you know,
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: because the press got still still still and got right
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: back in the game.
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: What doesn't mean to be in Okay, see, with the
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: community aspect of a lot of bagg he's getting to
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: make the trip up there.
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: It's great. I mean we need everybody there. I mean,
• 23:46
  Speaker 8: this is going to be you know, it is what
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: it is.
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: You don't get many chances to it's gone rally around
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: a group like this and it's it's tournament played. There's
• 23:55
  Speaker 9: nothing greater than say tournament. So well we needed it flooded.
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: Same bring some people. But uh, last time I checked
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: the aggies and the Aggie's got the aggies. Man, we
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: got to show up.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: Since you were talking about they came in Oklahoma City.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: I want I asked about this.
• 24:12
  Speaker 12: Billy Kennedy was out of here from the same tonight.
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: Does you know any you know, what do you think
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: that says?
• 24:18
  Speaker 9: I love coach Kennedy. I mean it hangs out comes
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: by the office and I first got the job.
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: We talked.
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: I me, I've known him a long time, and I
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: mean I know coach Cole had worked for him whenever
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: that was ten, ten years or whatnot. But you know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: I mean it if it wasn't for what Coach Kenny
• 24:35
  Speaker 9: them did here. Look, you know he has affected our
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: team to the positive because we've been able to recruit
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: better because there's a history of doing something and getting
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: to the sweet sixteen and having top ten teams in
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: the country. And one thing that you gotta like about
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: coach Kennedy. I mean, he could go live wherever he wants,
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: and you know he stays right here. You know, part
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: of this community.
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: The player hasn't experienced the nciator before. He think there's
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: any explaining you can do what it's like or the instrective.
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: Figure out themselves did.
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: The one thing I would say is you can't take
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: ten minutes.
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: And I said this said the SEC tournament like someone
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: had asked me, what is it like, because hey, it's
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: going to be difficult in the SEC tournament, And you
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: saw that the teams that had to buy in the
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: first game the SEC Tournament really struggled because the team
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: that came to night before, even though they may have been,
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: you know a little more fatigued, they kind of have
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: that experience to come right in there and play well.
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: Then say, tournament's a level playing field with that. But
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: you can't go into the deal and have a ten
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: minute you know, start a look in your eye or
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: the game's over. That's what happened to us for Oklahoma.
• 25:33
  Speaker 9: Now I can't say that was necessarily the reason. We
• 25:35
  Speaker 9: just didn't play well. We missed a lot of shots
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: are in the first ten minutes. But you just can't
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: have a ten minute warm up into this deal. What
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: I would say is, look court, it's the same court,
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: free throw line, the same free throw line. Find your
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: spots we're supposed to be on defense, run the lane
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: you're supposed to run on offense.
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: Do what the heck we do.
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: There's no difference between that court and the one we
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: practice in every day. We can't we can't have a
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: ten minute warm up where we're looking around like this
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: is really cool and we start playing with we're down
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: by twenty fucking You talked last week about the Est
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: City Tournament, going to it kind of when you were
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: a younger coach instead of White tournament. You got any
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: early memories of going to games or maybe watching a
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: crazy game when you.
• 26:12
  Speaker 15: Were a kid.
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: I mean, we all watched the NCA Tournament. I mean,
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: it's a great show on Earth.
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: I mean it is. It's why is it so great?
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: Because anybody can win in tournament basketball. Anybody can win,
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: and it's your path to make it happen. I mean,
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: there is, you know, I mean, that's what you're playing for.
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: I mean, if you think about it, we're two really
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: good games away from being back here to talk about
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: sixteen teams left and then from there you're two really
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: good games away from going to the Final four.
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: And I mean that's what makes it so unique, and
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: it's all your path to get there. But I mean
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: I could.
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: I mean, I don't know if I'd be coaching basketball
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: if it wasn't for the n SA Tournament. I mean,
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: just has a everybody can remember then, say tournament, what
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: do you remember the most? You probably remember all those
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: runs from the teams that pulled up sets to make
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: something magical happen. So we want to be that team
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: at some point that makes that happen.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: That's Bucky and he was, man, he was so close
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to being part of that beating Kansas a few years
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: ago with Sanford number thirty. When he say he was
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: thirteen seed, right, I guesst four. Let me let me
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: pull this up here. Kansas is a four seed. They're
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: playing a team I've never heard of in Division one.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: It's like cal Baptist, California Baptist. I think Kansas is favored.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: By the way. Let me see what else were we
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: have in the four and thirteen? I mean that's four
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: and twelve. I beg your pardon, it's got to be
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: three and thirteen, right, No, three and eleven, four, four
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: and thirteen, Yeah, I was right. Nebraska Troy, Yeah, Nebraska Troy.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Nebraska has never won an NC doublea tournament game ever.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: They've never won a tournament game. They almost did. Remember
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: they played A and M a few years ago in
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the tournament. They've never won a tournament game. So yeah, Kansas, California, Baptist, Nebraska, Troy, Arkansas, Hawaii.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I heard somebody like on the radio making a case
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: for Hawaii today, and you got to be kidding me.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying it couldn't happen. It's the tournament, Like
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Bucky said. You can tell Bucky's excited. It's only a
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: second tournament, right.
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: Am?
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I right about that Tray, Yeah, he had to run
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: against Kansas, and let's see Kennesaw State and Gonzaga. Yeah,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: that's not happening either, and then Wright State and Virginia
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: that's not happening either. So the five twelves are the
• 29:01

• 34:23
  Speaker 1: is choose ten teams out of those brackets. You don't
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: want to choose all ten teams from one regional, See,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: it doesn't work that way. Go to the bracket and
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: figure out the teams you like the best. You think
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: it's easy, Oh it's not easy. If it were easy,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: anybody could do it. I suggest you pick my mascot,

• 35:08
  Speaker 1: the first round you get one point and two points,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: at three points and four points, it's gonna ask you
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: to pick a tiebreaker, which is the total point scored
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: of the championship game. In other words, if you think
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be seventy five to seventy, you can put
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five points in there.
• 35:26
  Speaker 16: Got it.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: That's how we determine a tiebreaker. I think we've used
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: that tiebreaker once or twice over the years. Anyway, go
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: to chip Hoer dot com. You only have until eleven
• 35:38

  Speaker 1: you by Zornaman Flooring and Chad Jones Law all right.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Over the weekend, the Aggies played their first SEC Conference series. Pitching. Pitching,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: It's all about pitching. They scored enough runs to sweep
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the series for sure. Uh, it didn't happen in any
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: of the three they got the They've got the middle
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: game of the series. Yesterday was tough. Yesterday was tough
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: for a number of reasons. The weather was brutal. But
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I know both teams play. I get that
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: in the same weather. It just they just didn't pitch
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: well enough. Okay, they hit plenty well enough. I mean,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: that's just they did. They scored seven runs on Friday night,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: they had a four run inning that they gave to
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Shane Sedeo. He wasn't good enough on Friday. They had
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: four home runs and scored nine runs on Saturday and
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: won that middle game. They scored eleven runs yesterday. That's
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: twenty seven runs in three games. My Richards and II
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Matt tells me that's nine runs a game. You're averaging.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you averaged nine runs a game. You
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: should win three, right, I mean, you should win three.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: But like I said, they hit well enough, they didn't
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: pitch well enough. They have to pitch better. They get
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Georgia coming in this weekend at home. Always like to
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: play take three, but hey, get two, Just get two, right.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: You got Vandy at home two weeks after that, right,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: So just have to be better on the mountain. That's
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: all there is to it. And because Man, they're they're
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: hitting the ball. I mean, these these guys are and
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: they've been hitting and you wanted to see that because
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: we talked about last week how Oklahoma was pitching the ball.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: And you go out and get four runs in that
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: first inning, I mean against Cameron Johnson who had just
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: been lights out. He walked seven, he walked seven batters,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: and man, you've got to take advantage of that. That
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: that first game, that's that's a killer. The first game
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: when you think it's gonna be like two to one.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: You know, you have your Friday night pitchers going, and
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: it didn't turn out that way. You gotta find a
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: way to win. And they couldn't do that. You know,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma didn't pitch either. It was one of those weekends.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: But hey, Texas State tomorrow six o'clock, we'll be on
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: the air with our coverage at five point forty five

  Speaker 1: of all, we are honoring the late great Jerry Jeff Walker.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Today would have been his eighty fourth birthday. As I
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: mentioned before the break, got a chance to visit with
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: actor Rob Morrow. It's been a couple of weeks, but
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I wanted to replay the interview that we played last
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: week during spring break. I thought it was great. He's
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: in a new streaming series called The Greyhouse. Based on
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: a true story during the Civil War. He is very busy.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: He's done a lot of things. Here is Rob Brrow. Rob,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: how are you.
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: I'm excellent, sir. How are you doing today?
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I'm doing great. Thank you so much for your time.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I have not seen the entire Gray House, but i
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: have seen a couple of episodes, and I'm thinking, how
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: do you pick your projects when they came to you?
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: You know, what are the factors when you decide you're
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: going to be involved in something?
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: Well, and it varies, you know, depending on what I've
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: done recently. You know, I'm always trying to shake it
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: up and do something different. So that's a very that's
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: a factor this in this case, the first variable that
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: caught my eye and that made me know I was
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: going to do it was when they got the offer.
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: There was a you know, came with an offer sheet
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: the terms and everything, and it said it was shooting
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: in Romania, and I was like, okay, I'm going I
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: knew it because I'm a quarter Romanian. My grandfather grew
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: up there and he was a big influence on me,
• 44:00
  Speaker 7: so that that kind of caught me my attention. And
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: then you know, then the pedigree you know that can
• 44:08
  Speaker 7: you know, if you see the right people attached, you know,
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: you know, I mean I saw Roland Joffey, who I've
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: now worked with three times. He just doesn't miss he
• 44:17
  Speaker 7: doesn't mess around. He's one of the great master filmmakers.
• 44:20
  Speaker 7: And then you bring Kevin Costner and and Morgan Freeman
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: and uh and John Sales and Leslie Grife and then
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: this the cast that was starting to come together, you know,
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: and then and then and then the character. You know,
• 44:33
  Speaker 7: I'm looking at this guy who's so fascinating, but a
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: real life figure who was full of contradictions. That was
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: a challenge for me to try to get into his
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: head and try to understand what was going on in
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: the times. He was a he was a he was Jewish,
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: the first Jewish US senator, but he was also a
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: slave owner. So I was like, I couldn't quite figure
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: out how that worked. So there's always different different things,
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: you know. My wife has this thing called the five p's,
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: which are you know, what's the what's the production, what's
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: the play meaning the screenplay, what's the pay, what's the part,
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: what's the place? You know, and if you get two
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: places or one, you know, sometimes I've tooken jobs in
• 45:17
  Speaker 7: Spain just because it was in Spain. I was like,
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: you're going to fly him into Spain. I was like,
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: I'm going, you know, So.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: That's why Romania? Why was it filmed there?
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: Bang for your buck? Yeah, you really, first of all,
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: and they have great crafts people and artists there, and
• 45:36
  Speaker 7: it's surprisingly doubled well for the South. But really it's
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: about bang for your buck. We shot that for about
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: half of what it would have to shoot here.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: So if I told you you could only direct, you
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: could only act in films, you could only be part
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: of a huge TV series, You could only be in Broadway.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Could you choose one of those?
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: Right now? It would be if it could be musicals,
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: I'd do Broadway.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Really yeah? Why well, I just love music. I love
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: being a part of it.
• 46:13
  Speaker 7: So it's irrefutable. You know, there's something about the way
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: the vibrations affect us that it's joy to be to
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: be doing. I sing every day a lot, you know.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: And it's had no idea. I had no idea fills
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: my day, you know. I I what kind of music?
• 46:32
  Speaker 7: Well, the stuff that I write and perform we call soulful, rock, funky, pop,
• 46:37
  Speaker 7: you know. But I just wrote a pop song with
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: Lisa Lowbe. It's the second song we've written together. And
• 46:44
  Speaker 7: you know, I'd love to do I'd love to go
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: play King George on Broadway and Hamilton. I'd love to
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: do Manela Mancha. You know. So there's just something irrefutable
• 46:57
  Speaker 7: about music that I'd love if I could, if I
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: could choose, like you said, that's where I would put
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: my my energy.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: So it's amazing you bring this up because I wasn't
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about it. But the original music in the
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: in the Greyhouse is like unbelievable. Willie Nelson, Lady Wilson,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Shanaia Twain, John Bon, Jovie. I mean, that's that's pretty incredible.
• 47:19
  Speaker 7: Killer Mike, Yeah, it's endless.
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: You know that.
• 47:22
  Speaker 7: Diane Warren, who's nominated for her seventeenth Academy Award this year. Yeah,
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: it's They're really smart. And it also modernizes the piece
• 47:32
  Speaker 7: in a in a in a cool way. It's a
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: bit of a thing that's going on now. A lot
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: of times, historical pieces will use modern music to kind
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: of bridge the gap and make it more relevant, and
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: this piece is wildly relevant. Somewhat intended and somewhat unintended.
• 47:48
  Speaker 7: I think the timing of its release could not have
• 47:51
  Speaker 7: been better. Yes, and it's somewhat accidental or or providential,
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: you know.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: So I'm I'm I'm looking at at all of this
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: and the list of your work, and I'm I'm I
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: know I'm old, but I'm amazed. It's been thirty six
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: years for Northern Exposure. Is that hard to is that
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: hard to put your hands around?
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: When you said it, I was like, God, dang, thirty
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: six years.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: But are you ask about that? Like I'm asking now,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: do you go very long without people mentioning that show?
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Because that was it was obviously an incredible show.
• 48:30
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 48:30
  Speaker 7: Almost daily someone will say something and it's it's having
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: a bit of a resurgence. Now it's also on I
• 48:37
  Speaker 7: have everything I do is on Amazon. It seems numbers,
• 48:40
  Speaker 7: is there, billions? Is there? Yep, And it's on. It's
• 48:43
  Speaker 7: having a bit of a moment and bringing in all
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: these new generations of fans to the show. Janina Turner
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: and I have a podcast about it, and so I've
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: been so I watched the show, which I hadn't watched
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: in thirty years. Wow, But it whole us up it
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: holds up wild. It's timeless. It's just timeless. The themes
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: are universal, and the aesthetics don't seem dated. It's jeans
• 49:10
  Speaker 7: and pickup truck.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: At what point do you do you remember if there
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: was a point where you said to yourself, Hey, people
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: are watching this. I think we may have a hit
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: on our hands.
• 49:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it becomes you know, your life changes
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: pretty especially then you know, all of a sudden, wherever
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: you go you're noticed, and whatever you want you can get.
• 49:34
  Speaker 7: And if you know, for the first time in my life,
• 49:36
  Speaker 7: I had money where I could buy anything I wanted,
• 49:39
  Speaker 7: you know, and and uh, and then also just the
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: the regularity of the work, you know, yes, and being
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: immersed in this world. And I was living in Seattle,
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: which was a new was new to me, and you know,
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: it became clear somewhere around Uh. Technically it was season three,
• 50:00
  Speaker 7: but season one was on the eight episode Season two
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: was on the eight episodes. When we got an order
• 50:06
  Speaker 7: for fifty episodes, which was unprecedented. Two seasons in advance
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: were ordered, and that's when it was like, oh, wow,
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: this is the big time.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: So I don't have a lot of time, but but
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: I know you worked with Rob Reiner, how would you
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: describe him as a as a director on the set?
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: Oh man, God, that was so devastating. His death and
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: the way he died. A sweet, you know, talented, easy going,
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: you know, had news because he was a performer. Actors
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: that were directors that were actors are always great because
• 50:45
  Speaker 7: they they they understand what they're going through. I worked
• 50:49
  Speaker 7: with Martye Gorsese as an actor and I asked him
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: why he was acting, and he said, because I like
• 50:55
  Speaker 7: to know what you guys are going through. And you know,
• 50:57
  Speaker 7: Rob had such a great career as a performer before
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: becoming director and then still acted and he just had
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: a great touch, you know, I mean, he knew how
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: to deal with people. I mean he got Jack Nicholson
• 51:09
  Speaker 7: and Morgan Freeman. That's where I met Morgan, who is
• 51:12
  Speaker 7: one of the producers of Greyhouse, you know, and he
• 51:17
  Speaker 7: he he could allow Jack to do what he did.
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: You know, Jack is a you know you want to
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: be you have to you have to really be smart
• 51:24
  Speaker 7: to be able to deal with someone like Jack and uh.
• 51:27
