2:20
Speaker 4: baseball as pitchers and catchers all over the Arizona and
2:26
Speaker 4: Florida are getting ready for minor league, I mean major
2:31
Speaker 4: league baseball. So we've got a big show for you
2:34
Speaker 4: here on All Willie Wednesday. But our sports headlines are
2:37
Speaker 4: brought to us by Radiant Dentistry mal Feasins. At the
2:43
Speaker 4: Olympics as the ice dancing pairs just finished, and this
2:58
Speaker 4: French couple that has issues with let's say assaults, not
3:09
Speaker 4: the young lady she was married to a skater that
3:14
Speaker 4: got kicked out of the Olympics or the French team,
3:17
Speaker 4: and then her current partner who's been accused. They're gonna
3:23
Speaker 4: win the gold by one point. So if you don't
3:28
Speaker 4: want to hear some of these, because here's the thing,
3:32
Speaker 4: some of these stories I don't talk about. I've done
3:35
Speaker 4: a great job of not having spoilers. This is going
3:39
Speaker 4: to spoil my evening's Olympic watching. But I'm watching the
3:44
Speaker 4: aggies and listening to the broadcast getting it synced up,
3:49
Speaker 4: so you know, it doesn't really matter to me. Tonight.
3:57
Speaker 4: I can tell you that Lindsay Vaughn third leg surgery
4:01
Speaker 4: since the crash, so just the intestinal fortitude to try that.
4:13
Speaker 4: And I know that the the a lot of people that,
4:17
Speaker 4: you know, why would you do this? You were already hurt,
4:21
Speaker 4: You're trying to go out there. This has nothing to
4:23
Speaker 4: do with her torn acl She caught a gate with
4:27
Speaker 4: her arm, so that doesn't really apply. It's just, you know,
4:34
Speaker 4: an injury. It's like watching the combined slalom in Downhill
4:40
Speaker 4: last night. You get a great run from your Olympic
4:44
Speaker 4: gold medalist in the slalom, I mean in the downhill
4:48
Speaker 4: and you have an opportunity to win it. And the
4:50
Speaker 4: worst run in the slalom this year by the favorite
4:58
Speaker 4: for the gold medal keep some Erica off the stand completely.
5:05
Speaker 4: She had been in eight slaloms this year and she
5:13
Speaker 4: she had seven first place and she had one second.
5:21
Speaker 4: So just crazy that she was unable to you know,
5:27
Speaker 4: she was like the twenty second fastest slalom yesterday. But
5:33
Speaker 4: that's what makes the Olympics so great because your favorites
5:36
Speaker 4: can win, lose, you can have the underdog. You have
5:42
Speaker 4: the mixed curling. Amazing job to get the silver inches
5:53
Speaker 4: away from winning a gold, but that's what curling is
5:55
Speaker 4: all about. Just missed a tap by an inch, but
6:03
Speaker 4: they eliminated Italy, who had won the Olympics, didn't compete
6:07
Speaker 4: for three years, won the World Championships and then won
6:11
Speaker 4: the bronze. So still a storybook, you know, first time
6:16
Speaker 4: ever to medal. And the combined curling for Tmosaosa is
6:25
Speaker 4: now at goal at twelve medals total. That's four golds,
6:30
Speaker 4: six silver, two bronze. That trails Norway, which is seven
6:35
Speaker 4: golds two silver and four bronze and the bouncer. Being
6:40
Speaker 4: the home country and performing in front of your home
6:42
Speaker 4: fans is always something. I look at Italy now in
6:46
Speaker 4: second place in the medal count with four golds, two
6:50
Speaker 4: silvers and seven bronze. It doesn't matter, well, it doesn't matter,
6:55
Speaker 4: you know. I don't know how much I cheered for
7:00
Speaker 4: Chinese figure skaters when they were competing in Beijing. Had
7:04
Speaker 4: nothing to do with them. But Italy, you know, you
7:09
Speaker 4: know they were our allies in World War One and
7:12
Speaker 4: our enemy in World War two. I can you know?
7:15
Speaker 4: Time heals all wounds, I guess, but what has gone
7:20
Speaker 4: on with them? The co ed speed skating short track amazing.
7:29
Speaker 4: TSA crashes out in the semifinals, so I'm not I
7:35
Speaker 4: have very little to cheer for. You get the finals. Italy,
7:40
Speaker 4: one of the two women in there, picks up her
7:43
Speaker 4: twelfth gold medal, I mean her twelfth medal. She has
7:48
Speaker 4: medaled in six Olympics. And to do it in front
7:54
Speaker 4: of the home crowd amazing. So still get still get
7:59
Speaker 4: the enjoyment. The physicalness of the quad God has been
8:06
Speaker 4: very amazing. I know that Chip would be all about
8:11
Speaker 4: telling you everything you wanted to know about figure skating
8:15
Speaker 4: if he was here today, But he's not, so you know,
8:19
Speaker 4: kind of, that's just how it falls. He'll catch you
8:23
Speaker 4: up on figure skating tomorrow. See what else is going
8:27
Speaker 4: on in the world of sports. Another spoiler. If you're
8:32
Speaker 4: watching Team luge, which is next to skeleton, the craziest
8:42
Speaker 4: thing you can do and lose and skeleton head first
8:47
Speaker 4: or feet first, going seventy miles an hour, it's crazy
8:53
Speaker 4: on skis, I can understand a little bit. But after
8:58
Speaker 4: watching The Spy Who Loved Me and watching seaw I mean,
9:03
Speaker 4: watching James Bond skiing in a lose track, it's always
9:07
Speaker 4: been scary to me since then. But the the Italians
9:14
Speaker 4: won the pairs, so there you go, another win for them.
9:19
Speaker 4: Let's see. Uh, let's get back to sports in the
9:22
Speaker 4: United States. The I came on two weeks ago. I
9:34
Speaker 4: talked about, uh, the fact that the SEC shouldn't have
9:43
Speaker 4: allowed the temporary restraining order for Charles B. Badaco to compete,
9:57
Speaker 4: that the SEC should have told Alabama don't blame they
10:01
Speaker 4: finally did it finally comes up a week short. If
10:06
Speaker 4: you're Auburn who lost to Alabama, if you're Texas a
10:11
Speaker 4: and M who lost to Alabama. You want to know
10:14
Speaker 4: how you're going to get some justice. There's no other
10:20
Speaker 4: way to look at it. You deserve relief. You deserve
10:24
Speaker 4: justice because in a three point loss, he scored five
10:30
Speaker 4: points against A and M. So if nothing else, A
10:37
Speaker 4: and M should have walked off the floor with a w.
10:40
Speaker 4: Even though they played better against him than any other
10:43
Speaker 4: team he played. He averaged sixteen points a game. He
10:45
Speaker 4: had five against A and M. They defended him well,
10:51
Speaker 4: but the fact of the matter is how can it
10:54
Speaker 4: be held against them? So I think there's going to
10:59
Speaker 4: be a new that does not include those games. The
11:03
Speaker 4: NCAA doesn't have to show it to anybody. If we've
11:05
Speaker 4: learned anything. The NCAA is not going to show anything
11:09
Speaker 4: at all about that Auburn. He was dominant against Auburn.
11:16
Speaker 4: There's no way Alabama beats Auburn on that day in
11:20
Speaker 4: their house unless he's playing at the level that he
11:23
Speaker 4: played at that game. A and M and Auburn deserve relief,
11:29
Speaker 4: no doubt about it. So it'll be very interesting to
11:33
Speaker 4: see if anything comes about that NFL combine coming up Texas.
11:44
Speaker 4: A and M the most invites of any SEC team
11:49
Speaker 4: to the combine. That is a huge step forward for
11:55
Speaker 4: this program because A and M has been having players drafted,
12:01
Speaker 4: but A and M had a class that was working
12:05
Speaker 4: its way towards NFL draft eligibility. And to get thirteen
12:11
Speaker 4: invites Alabama twelve, LSU eleven, Georgia, Oklahoma ten, Florida nine,
12:20
Speaker 4: Texas seven. Then you look at teams that have struggled Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky, Missouri,
12:31
Speaker 4: Tennessee six. Team that did not struggle Ole Miss five.
12:38
Speaker 4: Does that mean that next year Ole Miss is going
12:41
Speaker 4: to be as good as they were this year? No,
12:44
Speaker 4: but it doesn't look like they had the NFL talent
12:46
Speaker 4: drain that some of the other teams that were on
12:49
Speaker 4: the top half of the of the SEC with them
12:52
Speaker 4: are losing them. South Carolina only has four. Their quarterback
12:55
Speaker 4: came back, their wide receiver came back. I paid a
12:58
Speaker 4: whole bunch of nil. They could be sitting at six
13:01
Speaker 4: as well. Vandy two. Who are those two showers in
13:06
Speaker 4: Pavia and Mississippi State one? Vandy. This is why this
13:12
Speaker 4: was such a good coaching job. When you look at
13:15
Speaker 4: the NFL draft, who does the NFL want? Well, if
13:19
Speaker 4: they're only bringing two guys in that was a pretty
13:22
Speaker 4: good coaching job by Chuck by Coach League and Ole
13:27
Speaker 4: Miss pretty good coaching job by Lane Kiffen. If they
13:31
Speaker 4: only have five in the NFL combine, so there is
13:34
Speaker 4: some talent drain. And you look at Texas A and
13:37
Speaker 4: M with thirteen there, that's thirteen guys that were either
13:41
Speaker 4: on the team last year, in the transfer portal or
13:46
Speaker 4: in the freshman class. You've got to find thirteen NFL
13:50
Speaker 4: guys that were not spending very much time on the field,
13:54
Speaker 4: and that is the challenge for Texas A and M
13:57
Speaker 4: this next season. So there's are sports headlines brought to
14:01
Speaker 4: you by Radiant Dentistry. The Steve didn't show when we
14:06
Speaker 4: come back. But first we're gonna hear about Chad Jones Law.
14:11
Speaker 5: I'm Chad Jones. We know sports injuries hurt, and so
14:14
Speaker 5: do injuries from car res. But you didn't sign up
14:16
Speaker 5: to be in a car wreck with someone who wasn't
14:18
Speaker 5: paying attention. It was their fault and now you're left
14:21
Speaker 5: to deal with the consequences. You need to see a
14:23
Speaker 5: doctor and you're missing work. Chad Jones Law can help.
14:26
Speaker 5: We've been helping our neighbors for more than two decades.
14:28

14:41
Speaker 6: Having Kanty and Michelle are fun sportsman life.
14:44
Speaker 7: We said it all season long. This was perhaps the
14:46
Speaker 7: easiest path in that Josh Allen and company had no excuses.
14:49
Speaker 7: Here's a team that is in your division that you
14:52
Speaker 7: have rained over. They have an amazing season, they get
14:56
Speaker 7: to the super Bowl and then they have that type
14:58
Speaker 7: of performance. Josh Allen Buffalo Bells had to watch that
15:01
Speaker 7: game kicking themselves, but they didn't get it done this season.
15:05
Speaker 8: Unsportsman like.
15:06

15:37
Speaker 11: Founly Welcome to the Steve Denton Show featuring the men's
15:44
Speaker 11: tennis coach at Texas A and M and your host
15:47
Speaker 11: Chip Poward. The Steve Denton Show is brought to you
15:50
Speaker 11: by Texas Regional Licener.
16:10
Speaker 1: We're on the Players Fund Center phone line for the
16:14
Speaker 1: first Steve Denton Show of twenty twenty six. The agimen's
16:20
Speaker 1: tennis team, off to a flying start, went to Waco
16:25
Speaker 1: on Monday. Let's talk about that match, Steve. Then we
16:29
Speaker 1: work our way backwards a little bit. You guys going
16:34
Speaker 1: into play Baylor.
16:36
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, a bit of a road Warriors and that
16:38
Speaker 12: we you know, haven't played home in a while since
16:44
Speaker 12: kick for the first in the you know, first weekend
16:47
Speaker 12: the season, had a doubleheader, so we played Florida State
16:50
Speaker 12: this last Friday night, had a good win there and
16:55
Speaker 12: ended up going to play Baylor last night in a
17:00
Speaker 12: environment I thought our guys came out really well, and
17:05
Speaker 12: especially in the doubles. They they have I think, very
17:10
Speaker 12: good doubles, and our guys really kind of took it
17:14
Speaker 12: to them and a couple of the doubles matches that
17:16
Speaker 12: gave us a one tozer lead, and uh, you know,
17:21
Speaker 12: then they responded kind of and and ended up winning
17:26
Speaker 12: the first set and six all six matches, and you know,
17:31
Speaker 12: but our to our credit, our guys have you know,
17:34
Speaker 12: been in some difficult situations already this year, and we've
17:38
Speaker 12: got a few experienced guys. They were able to fight back,
17:42
Speaker 12: and I think we won the second set and four
17:45
Speaker 12: of those six matches to kind of extend the match.
17:50
Speaker 12: Ultimately didn't get it done, but was real pleased with
17:54
Speaker 12: that effort. And you know, still had a couple of
17:56
Speaker 12: matches on the court that you know, we're still pending
18:01
Speaker 12: as as they got their fourth point, but a lot
18:05
Speaker 12: of close matches that could have gone our way. I
18:07
Speaker 12: thought ship the difference last night was maybe they were
18:12
Speaker 12: a little bit more aggressive than we were, certainly coming
18:16
Speaker 12: some of that came from the crowd. They got a
18:18
Speaker 12: lot of energy there, but also I felt like they
18:23
Speaker 12: also played the three all points a little bit better
18:26
Speaker 12: than we did. I told the guys that last night
18:30
Speaker 12: after the match, and uh, you know, it's something that
18:34
Speaker 12: we can continue to work on to try to get better.
18:37
Speaker 12: And those what I call kind of clutch moments of matches,
18:40
Speaker 12: our guys weren't quite as good as they were.
18:44
Speaker 1: What are what are the courts like at that Tennis
18:46
Speaker 1: center Endoor Steve, I.
18:49
Speaker 12: Would say kind of medium, but I felt like that
18:54
Speaker 12: they served a bit better and they were more aggressive.
18:58
Speaker 12: They played up on the baseline a little bit more
19:00
Speaker 12: than us and kind of we're you know, we were
19:02
Speaker 12: reacting rather than you know, taking it to them a
19:06
Speaker 12: little bit. And we've played you know, majority of indoor
19:10
Speaker 12: tennis so far this year, the most we've ever played
19:14
Speaker 12: thus far in the season. So I didn't think it
19:17
Speaker 12: was the court speed or anything, but I think it
19:19
Speaker 12: was just the style of play that they were able
19:22
Speaker 12: to implement or kind of force on us. We played
19:26
Speaker 12: a little bit more their game than us playing enough
19:29
Speaker 12: of our game in a couple of matches, and you know,
19:33
Speaker 12: ultimately that was the difference. And you just can't even
19:36
Speaker 12: after winning the doubles point, you can't dig a hole
19:39
Speaker 12: like we dug last night and get completely out of
19:42
Speaker 12: it very easily when they've got all six first sets
19:46
Speaker 12: and you gotta you know, really come through with a
19:50
Speaker 12: small margin there to get back in it.
19:52
Speaker 1: You're going back on Friday, right for the indoors we are, and.
19:56
Speaker 12: We just found out that we're gonna play Texas at
20:02
Speaker 12: noon on Friday, so be a really good match and
20:06
Speaker 12: I know our guys are excited to get back on
20:09
Speaker 12: after it again. So you know, another great opportunity for
20:15
Speaker 12: us at the enddoor and getting to play obviously a
20:19
Speaker 12: really quality opponent in our conference that we're going to
20:22
Speaker 12: see again later in the year.
20:23
Speaker 1: Is there any advantage Friday to having just played in
20:27
Speaker 1: that arena on Monday?
20:30
Speaker 12: Absolutely? Yeah. I mean we're accustomed to the court conditions.
20:35
Speaker 12: You know, typically teams right now CHIP are showing up
20:38
Speaker 12: there to get some practice times. Yeah, and we were
20:41
Speaker 12: there on Sunday and we actually had a live match
20:46
Speaker 12: on Monday. They have implemented the new electronic line calling
20:51
Speaker 12: system into college tennis.
20:54
Speaker 1: How did that work for you?
20:56
Speaker 12: Well, it was interesting. We had a match or two
20:59
Speaker 12: that I felt I kind of went the wrong direction
21:02
Speaker 12: on us, almost more that because it's just new for
21:05
Speaker 12: us to have to deal with and how to handle things.
21:08
Speaker 12: But you know, in all in all, it's I think
21:11
Speaker 12: it's going to be great for college tennis. I know
21:13
Speaker 12: we're supposed to get our system in sometime here fairly
21:16
Speaker 12: soon as we're hosting the SEC tournament later in April,
21:21
Speaker 12: and so, you know, this is something that's moving forward
21:24
Speaker 12: in college tennis. I think it's something that's needed to
21:26
Speaker 12: have happened, and I think it will level the playing field,
21:31
Speaker 12: certainly home and away in a lot of these matches
21:35
Speaker 12: and everybody will become accustomed to it and they'll be,
21:40
Speaker 12: you know, less arguing and everything else. I think so,
21:43
Speaker 12: and I think it'll make matches cleaner overall. So I'm
21:47
Speaker 12: I'm thrilled about it. And but it's it's just something
21:53
Speaker 12: new that our guys are going to have to get
21:55
Speaker 12: acclimated to.
21:57
Speaker 1: We'll continue with Steve Denton after this for Texas Regional.
22:01
Speaker 13: When it's time for cataract surgery, there's no need to

Speaker 12: Yeah. Yeah, We've got some talented players that have some
22:57
Speaker 12: experience from South Africa. Is an extremely exciting player to watch.
23:06
Speaker 12: He played number two for Oklahoma last year and kind
23:10
Speaker 12: of people's reference would be, uh. You know, he beat J. C.
23:14
Speaker 12: Roddick a couple of times last year.
23:17
Speaker 14: Uh.
23:17
Speaker 12: And and UH is a good player and had not
23:20
Speaker 12: lost until last night. I thought the guy that beat
23:23
Speaker 12: him last night played an exceptional match against him. Uh
23:28
Speaker 12: and it was his first loss of the spring.
23:31
Speaker 13: Uh.
23:32
Speaker 12: Then we've got Alex Arsina, who's a Houston boy that
23:38
Speaker 12: uh played number two for auburt He also beat UH
23:42
Speaker 12: j C last year and also beat Texas when he
23:45
Speaker 12: played Texas. Uh And he's on our roster then, uh
23:50
Speaker 12: And he's brought a lot of energy and I think
23:54
Speaker 12: he's just an amazing team player and you know, everybody's
24:00
Speaker 12: gonna like him a lot. Both these guys are both
24:03
Speaker 12: two way guys, meaning they're they're good in singles and
24:06
Speaker 12: doubles and they've been playing doubles together again. Last night
24:09
Speaker 12: was the first night that they had lost the doubles
24:12
Speaker 12: up a doubles point and uh so hopefully we'll get
24:16
Speaker 12: them back going. But they've been playing good doubles together.
24:19
Speaker 12: Uh meshing well. And uh then Thiago obviously pres is back.
24:25
Speaker 4: Yeah.
24:27
Speaker 12: Uh he played three four for us last year three
24:30
Speaker 12: a lot and now he's uh four hole right now. Uh.
24:36
Speaker 12: But we've got some depth there as well.
24:38
Speaker 6: Uh.
24:39
Speaker 12: Togan Tokak who uh played number one doubles a good
24:43
Speaker 12: doubles there for us, had a good doubles win last
24:46
Speaker 12: night against Mailer against the top and you know, he's
24:54
Speaker 12: kind of been been in that five spot freshman that
24:58
Speaker 12: just came from a stony. Unfortunately, he wasn't there last night.
25:04
Speaker 12: He was off playing Davis Cup this weekend. And he's
25:08
Speaker 12: from Estonia. We had Ava Palma from Estonia a few
25:14
Speaker 12: years back on our team on the women's side. And
25:19
Speaker 12: Marcus Molder is a very good player kind of frame
25:24
Speaker 12: of reference. He beat He beat Theo who's our number
25:28
Speaker 12: one player twice last summer. And he wasn't there last
25:33
Speaker 12: night because he was at Davis Cup and his country
25:40
Speaker 12: over the weekend, but he'll be back. I think he's
25:44
Speaker 12: get back later today. Pretty long trips, long turnaround for
25:49
Speaker 12: him to have to play, going from playing altitude outside
25:54
Speaker 12: tennis to indoor tennis at you know, at in Waco
26:01
Speaker 12: on Friday, So we'll see kind of what his availability
26:04
Speaker 12: will be after a long trip like that. And then
26:10
Speaker 12: and then we've got our freshman that was the top
26:13
Speaker 12: thirty forty player in the world from India, Chris Tiagi,
26:18
Speaker 12: who allowed he's played a couple of matches here recently,
26:21
Speaker 12: played very good doubles. Yesterday he was thank for all
26:25
Speaker 12: and when we played at Florida State, so he's just
26:30
Speaker 12: getting his feet wet into college tennis. And then we've
26:35
Speaker 12: got some usual guys retouched hotel and still all those
26:42
Speaker 12: guys are still on the team as well, so we've
26:44
Speaker 12: got a you know, a pretty strong roster. I think
26:49
Speaker 12: guys get along great, they work hard, and obviously we've
26:53
Speaker 12: got a tough road ahead with all the great teams
26:56
Speaker 12: that we're going to be playing at, especially in the SEC.
27:00
Speaker 12: But you know, first off, we need to kind of
27:03
Speaker 12: see what we can do here in this really tough
27:05
Speaker 12: NCAA indoor tournament.
27:07
Speaker 1: You know, I just looked at this. I can't believe you.
27:11
Speaker 1: The SEC starts a week from Saturday. You're hosting all.
27:15
Speaker 12: This, Yeah we are.
27:17
Speaker 4: That's crazy.
27:19
Speaker 12: Yeah, we're hosting them. And then a split weekend where
27:24
Speaker 12: we have to go and play at Kentucky Indoors lightly
27:27
Speaker 12: yep on four courts, which is one of the hardest
27:30
Speaker 12: places to play. And of.
27:35
Speaker 1: All, right, we lost, we lost Coach Didton, but we
27:39
Speaker 1: got the crux of everything that's going on. It's getting
27:43
Speaker 1: busy and we will visit next week after the National
27:47
Speaker 1: Indoors and before they begin SEC play. The Steve Denton

31:04
Speaker 4: Welcome into an all Willie Wednesday. We're gonna We're gonna
31:09
Speaker 4: let Willie at least sing you know part of this song.
31:14
Speaker 4: Some days Whitalon just took over, and uh, it's an
31:18
Speaker 4: all whaling Wednesday. But here's Willie. Never mind, I forgot
31:32
Speaker 4: we had one more one more bridge before Willie came on.
31:36
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. This was the all whaling portion of all
31:39
Speaker 4: Willie Wednesday. Aggie Basketball tonight gonna take on Missouri. Uh,
31:46
Speaker 4: here are my thoughts about the Aggie's in Missouri. Missouri
31:51
Speaker 4: ain't Florida. I thought from about the time I watched
31:59
Speaker 4: a n M play Tennessee, not knowing that Alabama was
32:10
Speaker 4: going to cheat and get a NBA player back, but
32:15
Speaker 4: that Florida's front court was going to give A and
32:20
Speaker 4: M problems. Missouri doesn't do that. Vandy doesn't do that.
32:28
Speaker 4: Ole miss Oklahoma again. Arkansas has size, but their two
32:35
Speaker 4: big guys have struggled all year long. They're not going
32:39
Speaker 4: to do to A and M what Florida did. Texas
32:44
Speaker 4: one to seven footer. I like Rashaun ag against one
32:49
Speaker 4: guy Kentucky. Their problem is point guard, not down low.
32:57
Speaker 4: And then LSU probably the last regular season game that
33:01
Speaker 4: guy ever coaches. So if you're not going to play
33:07
Speaker 4: a team that is going to expose you like Florida
33:11
Speaker 4: just did, what do you have to do to win
33:15
Speaker 4: the game tonight. Well, first off, don't have a hangover
33:22
Speaker 4: from the last game. If guys are running at you
33:26
Speaker 4: feel confident that your SHOT's not going to get blocks,
33:30
Speaker 4: and you're not shooting it a little bit higher or
33:32
Speaker 4: a little bit quicker, and you have an opportunity there to,
33:40
Speaker 4: you know, get the points you need. So I like that. Defensively,
33:53
Speaker 4: Chip and I had talked about how all of a
33:55
Speaker 4: sudden Florida was getting good guard play, and when Florida
33:58
Speaker 4: got good guard play in the year when it was
34:01
Speaker 4: inconsistent guard play, when they got good guard play, they
34:05
Speaker 4: could beat anybody. Well, now it's becoming much more consistent
34:09
Speaker 4: and they look like the class of the league. So
34:13
Speaker 4: if they're the class of the league, then you can't
34:16
Speaker 4: worry about the fact that they whipped up on you
34:21
Speaker 4: like they did. Because in this league, everybody can take
34:28
Speaker 4: a hickey like this. Kentucky has Florida has themselves done it, Auburn, Alabama,
34:37
Speaker 4: everybody has had a game like that. In this league,
34:40
Speaker 4: you can't let that carry on. And I'm thinking that
34:45
Speaker 4: there's going to be another very good crowd tonight. I
34:49
Speaker 4: don't think that A and M is in a position
34:52
Speaker 4: where the loss is last weekend when you had to
34:56
Speaker 4: sell out crowd and everybody was jazzed up, and you
34:59
Speaker 4: don't have a game where it looks you know, you're
35:03
Speaker 4: not you're not competing at the same level or whatever
35:06
Speaker 4: you want to describe it. Don't get discouraged and not
35:10
Speaker 4: go to Aggie basketball tonight. Plenty of Aggies from out
35:14
Speaker 4: of town are not making it for an eight o'clock tip.
35:18
Speaker 4: So you're still gonna have an effect on this game
35:21
Speaker 4: and have an effect on Missouri Missouri six and four,
35:26
Speaker 4: two game winning streak, but three and five on the
35:29
Speaker 4: road and league play two and three on the road,
35:35
Speaker 4: So you got to get locked in. We're going about
35:40
Speaker 4: to hear from Sean ag what he had to say
35:41
Speaker 4: yesterday when they met the press. You get the gist
35:46
Speaker 4: of what a senior leader, even on a team full
35:49
Speaker 4: of upperclassmen and seniors, Why Ag is the leader of
35:53
Speaker 4: this group? Here's your sign, a gay?
35:56
Speaker 19: How do you?
35:57
Speaker 21: How do you guys?
35:57
Speaker 4: What's going to take to you know, plush the floor loss?
36:01
Speaker 8: Just get right back on track, you.
36:04
Speaker 14: Know, I mean exactly what you said, Just flush it.
36:06
Speaker 14: I mean, it happened. There's always nothing we can do
36:09
Speaker 14: to go back and change anything. So we learned from it,
36:12
Speaker 14: we grow from it, and we go on to the
36:13
Speaker 14: next game. What do you learn, I mean, don't get
36:18
Speaker 14: too anxious in the game. A lot of game to
36:20
Speaker 14: come to us understanding when the trap went on to trap.
36:26
Speaker 14: You know, I feel like we also could have made
36:28
Speaker 14: a little extra one more passes. I feel like we
36:31
Speaker 14: played great defense. But no, that's about it.
36:36
Speaker 22: When you went back and kind of looked at the
36:37
Speaker 22: film of the game, how do you diagnose some of
36:39
Speaker 22: the shooting struggles in the first half and what do
36:42
Speaker 22: you do to maybe not make them that that exact.
36:48
Speaker 14: Uh, in the first half, we really I feel like
36:52
Speaker 14: we had we got great shots. I mean, we got
36:54
Speaker 14: great looks both first half and second half. It just
36:56
Speaker 14: didn't fall with something we I mean we're not typically
36:59
Speaker 14: used to, but I feel like when your shots are
37:03
Speaker 14: not falling, you try to do exhordin everything defensively and
37:06
Speaker 14: you try to do things we don't do out of
37:09
Speaker 14: the ordinary in our press. But I mean that's what
37:12
Speaker 14: we watch them for and we recognize it and we
37:14
Speaker 14: fix it.
37:15
Speaker 23: Kind of to that point, just what was kind of
37:17
Speaker 23: the feeling in the room when you guys did go
37:19
Speaker 23: back and watch that film.
37:21
Speaker 14: I mean, I mean I would say probably angry. I
37:25
Speaker 14: would say we was angry about it, understanding that. I mean,
37:28
Speaker 14: they just beat us that night. We just gotta clean
37:32
Speaker 14: up some things and basically like get in the gym.
37:38
Speaker 4: What do you make of you when you look at Missouri?
37:41
Speaker 17: This is that you're gonna face.
37:42
Speaker 19: Missouri is a team.
37:43
Speaker 4: That you know loses, tell us you and and don't
37:46
Speaker 4: miss but they beat Kentucky in Florida.
37:50
Speaker 19: It's kind of crazy all over the place.
37:51
Speaker 24: So you know, what are you?
37:53
Speaker 14: Oh, they're a great team. I mean they're a little
37:57
Speaker 14: slower paced team. They will get up and run. But
38:00
Speaker 14: I mean that just shows like what you expect, what
38:03
Speaker 14: you can expect in the SEC SEC play. I mean
38:06
Speaker 14: you never you never know what what team you would
38:08
Speaker 14: get from each team.
38:10
Speaker 19: It's kind of the leader of this team.
38:12
Speaker 15: What's kind of been your sentiment to your guys the
38:14
Speaker 15: last couple of days and just kind of feel like
38:16
Speaker 15: practice is gone.
38:18
Speaker 14: That's been great. I mean my word has always been is.
38:22
Speaker 14: I mean, I mean, y'all didn't expect us to just
38:24
Speaker 14: sweep the SEC and just come out and just win
38:27
Speaker 14: every game or or play a perfect game all year.
38:30
Speaker 14: Like I mean, things happen, and what all we can
38:33
Speaker 14: do is learn from it, grow from it, and continue
38:35
Speaker 14: to become a better team. And I feel like the
38:37
Speaker 14: great teams always bounce back either one loss, two loss.
38:41
Speaker 14: But we got to figure it out. And of course
38:44
Speaker 14: always the objective is to be playing our best basketball.
38:47
Speaker 23: In March kind of Where's Funky's.
38:51
Speaker 14: The exact same thing. Learn from it, grow from it,
38:54
Speaker 14: especially the things we we did defensively. That was a
38:58
Speaker 14: little bit of mistakes. But he said, you know, we
39:00
Speaker 14: got great shots. We've got great looks. I mean, when
39:02
Speaker 14: you go out, you played great basketball against Georgia and
39:06
Speaker 14: then I feel like we played good basketball heains Alabama,
39:08
Speaker 14: but we didn't get the result we wanted. I mean,
39:11
Speaker 14: you don't have a day where you shoot like the
39:13
Speaker 14: way we shot.
39:15
Speaker 4: I tell you somebody who needs to shoot better and
39:17
Speaker 4: wants to shoot better. As Ruben Dimingez that three pointer
39:20
Speaker 4: at the end of the game. It may not do
39:22
Speaker 4: much to the score. I mean, you lost by nineteen
39:27
Speaker 4: because he buried that three pointer, not twenty two. But
39:30
Speaker 4: I thought it was interesting in the postgame interview that
39:33
Speaker 4: Ruben Dimingez is out shooting shots after going to the
39:38
Speaker 4: locker room, coming out to shoot shots to get his
39:42
Speaker 4: feel back, and that could be a huge key for
39:45
Speaker 4: the Aggies in this ball game tonight is to have
39:48
Speaker 4: that feel and be ready to go. So hopefully Ruben Dominguez,
39:53
Speaker 4: who has a little bit more of a size advantage
39:56
Speaker 4: against Missouri as opposed to the LinkedIn Florida. That's what
40:00
Speaker 4: I was talking about earlier. Here's a guy who can
40:04
Speaker 4: get some shots off against certain teams that can't govern
40:08
Speaker 4: can't guard him at six foot six as easily as
40:12
Speaker 4: Florida can. So let's get back to seeing Reuben Domingus
40:16
Speaker 4: tonight getting a three point game going, and it'll be
40:23
Speaker 4: going in the right direction. All right, it's time to
40:26
Speaker 4: run a break. This portion program's brought to you by
40:29

42:50
Speaker 8: commentary and more. It's Murty in McGee, Muddy in McGee
42:54
Speaker 8: Saturday mornings from sixty nine on the Sony eleven fifty
42:57
Speaker 8: AM and ninety three point seven FM.
43:06
Speaker 10: Riding all the city of.
43:09
Speaker 4: All Right, We're gonna listen to now what Tricia Ford
43:14
Speaker 4: had to say here on this all Willie Wednesday, The
43:17
Speaker 4: Aggie is getting ready to play Oklahoma State Duke, n
43:21
Speaker 4: C State James Madison in Northwestern down at the at
43:26
Speaker 4: the Shriners at Children's clear Water Invitational. Those games are
43:32
Speaker 4: being played in the morning. That cost my daughter a
43:36
Speaker 4: chance to get to play against A and M completely
43:38
Speaker 4: understand why three games start at either nine or eight o'clock.
43:44
Speaker 4: Another game is at noon. It's fair for the team
43:47
Speaker 4: to get adjusted to that what they have to do
43:50
Speaker 4: at an early schedule. It did get It cost my
43:54
Speaker 4: Bride Bulldogs a chance to play the Aggies and have
43:57
Speaker 4: to play number one Texas Tech. And we'll talk little
44:00
Speaker 4: bit about what I saw from them after we hear
44:03
Speaker 4: from Trisha Ford.
44:05
Speaker 24: What what maybe is either cause or concern. You're going
44:08
Speaker 24: to play four weeks out of five on the road.
44:11
Speaker 24: So's as a coach, and I know yet some of
44:14
Speaker 24: these players were not all of them together.
44:16
Speaker 25: Yeah, I'm excited. I think we're gonna get tested this weekend.
44:19
Speaker 25: I think this past weekend it was just a blessing
44:24
Speaker 25: to play from the twelfth Man. For the twelfth Man
44:26
Speaker 25: to show up the way they did. It's what I
44:29
Speaker 25: feel like Davis Timon should look like every weekend, and
44:32
Speaker 25: so now it's time to we kind of got our
44:35
Speaker 25: feet underneath this this weekend. We obviously had some tough matchups,
44:38
Speaker 25: but I thought overall played solid, obviously having some things
44:42
Speaker 25: that we need.
44:43
Speaker 19: To work on. But now it's being on the road
44:45
Speaker 19: two weekends in a row.
44:46
Speaker 25: We're going to go coast to coast Florida then California,
44:51
Speaker 25: and so now we're going to test the waters a
44:53
Speaker 25: little bit of just what that's going to feel like.
44:55
Speaker 25: You know, how do we I think communication is going
44:57
Speaker 25: to be the key on the field and those really
45:00
Speaker 25: relationship pieces, and so we had talked a little bit
45:03
Speaker 25: about how I have focused in on making sure that
45:06
Speaker 25: our team chemistry and kind of those just those relationships
45:10
Speaker 25: on and off the field are important because we're going
45:13
Speaker 25: to go test it and we're going to have we
45:16
Speaker 25: have a.
45:16
Speaker 19: Lot of players that play in different spots this year.
45:18
Speaker 19: We have some new players.
45:19
Speaker 25: I mean, Talent's playing second base for the first time
45:22
Speaker 25: in your career. You know, Work's been hurt most of
45:24
Speaker 25: her career, so it hasn't played as much first base.
45:26
Speaker 25: And our outfield is very you know, new and fresh.
45:29
Speaker 25: So I think that piece is going to make or.
45:33
Speaker 19: Break us this weekend.
45:34
Speaker 24: And I would assume leadership is more important on the road.
45:38
Speaker 24: And I know you played five games and you had
45:40
Speaker 24: some fall schedule. It's as a team that you know,
45:43
Speaker 24: long on leadership with my standard could use some more
45:47
Speaker 24: or what about leadership?
45:48
Speaker 25: Yeah, I think leadership overall in this generation is hard.
45:53
Speaker 19: If I'm being very honest.
45:54
Speaker 25: They are so concerned with you not being likable or
45:59
Speaker 25: hurting somebody feelings.
46:00
Speaker 19: You know, I'll go on a tangent.
46:02
Speaker 25: But you know, we used to fight and then be
46:06
Speaker 25: done with it, you know, and now it turns into
46:09
Speaker 25: these long things that everybody has it on social media
46:13
Speaker 25: and that stays up there permanently, right like when you
46:15
Speaker 25: and I had a beef when we were growing up,
46:17
Speaker 25: we had a beef.
46:18
Speaker 19: There was nothing and it was over and done with.
46:20
Speaker 25: And so so I think that part is always hard
46:25
Speaker 25: for them and complicated.
46:26
Speaker 19: So what we talk about is maybe not being a leadership,
46:29
Speaker 19: but being being a leader.
46:30
Speaker 25: But somebody who is being a good example, somebody who
46:34
Speaker 25: is communicating, somebody who is out there always representing our
46:39
Speaker 25: standard and clamp. And part of that is some of
46:43
Speaker 25: those leadership qualities, right, what are our traits? And so
46:46
Speaker 25: you might be really good at connecting with these type
46:50
Speaker 25: of players.
46:50
Speaker 19: So I need you to help us rally these people.
46:53
Speaker 25: KA might be really good with this group, and so
46:56
Speaker 25: it's really important that we have a core group that
47:00
Speaker 25: can connect to different types of people because that's what
47:03
Speaker 25: makes us great and being able to bring those people along.
47:06
Speaker 19: And so I think for me.
47:07
Speaker 25: That's why I'm having a lot of conversations with Maya.
47:10
Speaker 25: Co Charger talks to her quite a bit work talent,
47:14
Speaker 25: kk ak lesson Tine like just a lot of a
47:20
Speaker 25: little bit of everybody, Frankie, you know. I think for us,
47:23
Speaker 25: it's getting them to understand how to get.
47:26
Speaker 19: Out of their comfort zone.
47:28
Speaker 25: They are so infatuated with that stupid square thing. And
47:32
Speaker 25: so I've challenged a couple of them, like you're gonna
47:34
Speaker 25: go and you need to go have coffee with the
47:36
Speaker 25: teammate or you know whatever it is a drink, you know,
47:40
Speaker 25: a cop iced coffee or whatever the energy drinks are,
47:44
Speaker 25: and they don't do that anymore. Whereas that's all I know, right,
47:49
Speaker 25: we didn't have anything else except our ability to talk
47:53
Speaker 25: face to face.
47:53
Speaker 19: So it's been good because some of them, we have
47:55
Speaker 19: a lot of quiet kids.
47:56
Speaker 25: If I could be honest with you, like Maya is
47:58
Speaker 25: not really outgoing. She is outgoing when she knows you,
48:02
Speaker 25: but like when she first meets somebody, she's gonna like
48:06
Speaker 25: take in the situation. And I think we have a
48:08
Speaker 25: team full of that, of really hard working players, and so.
48:12
Speaker 19: Now it's challenging them to have a voice on the field.
48:14
Speaker 25: It's almost like you have to have a second personality
48:17
Speaker 25: out on the field, and then you can be who
48:19
Speaker 25: you normally are, you know, in everyday life, but when
48:23
Speaker 25: you're out on that field, there is an expectation and
48:25
Speaker 25: a demand of this is how you're going to play.
48:29
Speaker 19: Y'all were really good on the road last year. Can
48:32
Speaker 19: you kind of just talk about that.
48:33
Speaker 21: Group of returners and experiencing that and then knowing that
48:36
Speaker 21: you know they can go out and do.
48:37
Speaker 20: That at that same thing.
48:38
Speaker 25: Yeah, I think it has a lot to do with
48:41
Speaker 25: sticking with the plan, and that's not coach feet, but
48:44
Speaker 25: I mean understanding this is our process, this is how
48:46
Speaker 25: we execute it, and it really doesn't matter where we are,
48:49
Speaker 25: what day it is, what time it is.
48:51
Speaker 19: The standard is the standard.
48:53
Speaker 25: And so I think that that group that just graduated,
48:57
Speaker 25: and then obviously ours that are returning, they went through it.
49:01
Speaker 25: We played one of the hardest schedules you could have
49:02
Speaker 25: played last year, and they won on the road at
49:05
Speaker 25: home and neutral sites, and so that's something that I'm
49:09
Speaker 25: hoping that as we move forward, it really isn't a
49:11
Speaker 25: thing when.
49:12
Speaker 19: We first got here. That was a thing we did.
49:14
Speaker 25: Not win on the road, and really it's just about
49:18
Speaker 25: a process like can you execute this? And it doesn't
49:21
Speaker 25: really matter what any and it is where you know,
49:25
Speaker 25: like I said, if you're at Davis or if you're
49:27
Speaker 25: at you know, clear Water, it's being able to execute
49:31
Speaker 25: at high and high lever situations. And so that's why
49:34
Speaker 25: practice is so hard. I want practice to be really
49:36
Speaker 25: hard so that when it happens in a game, you've
49:39
Speaker 25: already done that one hundred million times in your head
49:42
Speaker 25: and it kind of it comes to second nature.
49:44
Speaker 21: Michaela said she was working with harder on defensive stuff
49:47
Speaker 21: already this more and just kind of speak in that
49:50
Speaker 21: regard and just trying to clean up and even if
49:52
Speaker 21: it was some.
49:53
Speaker 19: Jitter or sort of yeah, I think you know, Mick.
49:57
Speaker 25: Just impressed with her, like and she's having some success
50:00
Speaker 25: and that's a part, like that's why I coach is Yes,
50:03
Speaker 25: you want to see them be successful, but what you
50:05
Speaker 25: really want to see is their ability to put in
50:08
Speaker 25: hard work when people are not watching, and it come
50:12
Speaker 25: to fruition and it's starting to come you're starting to
50:15
Speaker 25: see that with her, and now she wants to do
50:17
Speaker 25: even more and.
50:18
Speaker 19: That's just kind of who she is.
50:19
Speaker 25: And that's what you want them to learn from this game,
50:22
Speaker 25: is what hard work and dedication and sacrifice what that
50:26
Speaker 25: turns into in life. And so Mick, I think one
50:29
Speaker 25: of the first things this morning, Coach Ruger said, was
50:32
Speaker 25: Mixed texting me and she wants to work on, you know,
50:35
Speaker 25: a couple of things, and he goes, I love it, Like,
50:38
Speaker 25: how do you not as a coach want to go
50:40
Speaker 25: out there with a kid that just had probably one
50:42
Speaker 25: of the best weekends across the country and she's the
50:45
Speaker 25: first one texting you, Hey, can we work on X?
50:47
Speaker 19: You know?
50:48
Speaker 25: And so that's what greatness looks like. That's when I say, like,
50:52
Speaker 25: I want you to chase greatness. That's what that looks like.
50:54
Speaker 25: And so excited, you know. I think this weekend we
50:58
Speaker 25: did have some defensive airs. We're we're not on my
51:02
Speaker 25: BINGO card, so that's something that we're going to have
51:04
Speaker 25: to address.
51:04
Speaker 19: And obviously there's some things that we need to tidy.
51:08
Speaker 25: Up, and really I felt like most of them were
51:10
Speaker 25: just communication ones.
51:11
Speaker 19: We had a couple of physical errors, they're going to happen.
51:15
Speaker 19: But we did have more.
51:16
Speaker 25: Mental airs than I thought that we should have, so
51:18
Speaker 25: something that we will obviously keep working on.
51:22
Speaker 4: A Kaila sort of.
51:23
Speaker 12: Adela's on her whole injury ed straight and the whole
51:26
Speaker 12: torn ACL is with this guy, all that stuff. Just
51:28
Speaker 12: how impressed is it that she's here right later?
51:32
Speaker 19: Yeah, it's a blessing.
51:33
Speaker 25: I think, you know, that's how she looks at it,
51:35
Speaker 25: is that she has this last year, this opportunity to
51:39
Speaker 25: make the most of it, and she's making the most
51:41
Speaker 25: of it. You know, That's how I got to live life, though,
51:43
Speaker 25: Like you're not guaranteed tomorrow. So she's like, hey, let's
51:47
Speaker 25: get out, let's get after it, let's rock and roll.
51:49
Speaker 25: You know, I've had four acls. I'm very aware of
51:51
Speaker 25: what that does to your body. I probably have two
51:54
Speaker 25: more that are torn.
51:54
Speaker 19: Again, but I'm too old to deal with it.
51:57
Speaker 25: But you know, when you get your body in shape
52:01
Speaker 25: and you're strong and you know, do some things, I
52:04
Speaker 25: think good things happen.
52:05
Speaker 19: I mean, Lindsay Vaughn, isn't that her name?
52:07
Speaker 25: The skier that doesn't have an ACL either, And I
52:10
Speaker 25: know she crashed, but she didn't crash because of the
52:12
Speaker 25: acl she took a turn too quick or something.
52:15
Speaker 19: Right.
52:15
Speaker 25: Yeah, so I think, you know, it always comes back
52:19
Speaker 25: to work preparation. That's what it always comes back to.
52:21
Speaker 25: But she's she's a neat story.
52:24
Speaker 19: Going back to the chemistry thing.
52:26
Speaker 12: Just how I guess vital is it therefore, to have
52:28
Speaker 12: these experiences of going on the road to Florida, California, plains, buses, hotels,
52:33
Speaker 12: stuff like that for the girl's early mesh.
52:35
Speaker 25: Yeah, every level that I've coached, I've coached anywhere from
52:38
Speaker 25: fourteen and under, you know, obviously to this level. Even
52:42
Speaker 25: you know with USA Softball, they all talk about the
52:45
Speaker 25: first road trip like that's where we bond, that's where
52:48
Speaker 25: things get together. So for me, it's important that we
52:50
Speaker 25: get on the road quickly because I want them to
52:53
Speaker 25: experience that and just the different like how the days
52:57
Speaker 25: set up and how it runs, and it's just a
53:00
Speaker 25: lot more connectivity, I.
53:02
Speaker 19: Would say, with your teammates on the road.
53:03
Speaker 25: When you're here, you have your own space, your own people,
53:06
Speaker 25: your own routine. When you're on the road, we do
53:09
Speaker 25: almost everything you know together. So for me, it's important
53:13
Speaker 25: to get on the road quickly see what it looks
53:15
Speaker 25: like and feels like and go from there.
53:18
Speaker 24: And that being said, you've said several times you thrive
53:21
Speaker 24: on being the underdog, but in these five games this week,
53:24
Speaker 24: you're going to be the higher rant.
53:25
Speaker 12: You're going to be the.
53:26
Speaker 24: One that coaches are going to tell their teams, Hey,
53:28
Speaker 24: if we be in A and M.
53:29
Speaker 22: Yeah, So how do you handle that role?
53:31
Speaker 25: Oh?
53:31
Speaker 19: I always find ways to be the underdog. Yeah. I
53:35
Speaker 19: feel like I live life with the chip on my shoulder.
53:37
Speaker 25: So I think there's always ways, and you know, we
53:40
Speaker 25: still have last year as a really large chip on
53:43
Speaker 25: our shoulder, so that will always.
53:46
Speaker 19: You know, drive us. But I think the other part
53:49
Speaker 19: of this is.
53:49
Speaker 25: We also have to learn, and this is something again
53:53
Speaker 25: referring back to last year, as how to play or
53:58
Speaker 25: go into games as the top, you know, the higher
54:02
Speaker 25: ranked team, and what does that look like? How do
54:04
Speaker 25: you play with people always chasing you? So I think
54:06
Speaker 25: when we took over this program, we were always the chaser,
54:10
Speaker 25: and now we are being chased and that's a different conversation.
54:14
Speaker 25: And so that's something that I have to work really
54:17
Speaker 25: hard with our group of what that looks like.
54:19
Speaker 19: And feels like.
54:20
Speaker 25: And really it's the same thing like go out and execute.
54:24
Speaker 25: It's not you know, it's not rocket science. But I
54:26
Speaker 25: find ways that somebody does something that I'm going to
54:28
Speaker 25: have half on my own staff. He finds something that
54:31
Speaker 25: you know, they've done us wrong.
54:33
Speaker 24: What about no Taylor Brown, I guess you know, you
54:35
Speaker 24: talked about pitches going in and just we didn't see
54:38
Speaker 24: her and a price should ask on Sunday, but he's
54:40
Speaker 24: too all right in the morning.
54:42
Speaker 19: And see, so I felt that.
54:44
Speaker 25: I feel like, you know, I feel like it's not
54:47
Speaker 25: the right opportunity came.
54:48
Speaker 19: Up for her.
54:48
Speaker 25: You know, she's gonna throw some live to our hitters tomorrow.
54:52
Speaker 19: I want to keep her fresh. You know, there was
54:55
Speaker 19: you know, I really.
54:55
Speaker 25: Wanted to get Taylor Panell honestly in that Tech game,
54:58
Speaker 25: and it just you know, I'm a girl, you know this,
55:01
Speaker 25: and I'm always going to look out for the best
55:04
Speaker 25: thing for our program. And so now we still have
55:06
Speaker 25: her in our back pocket and they haven't seen her.
55:08
Speaker 25: So there's some good and bad with that. So I
55:11
Speaker 25: think with Taylor, she'll get some opportunities this year, and
55:14
Speaker 25: you know, obviously this week and just didn't pan out.
55:18
Speaker 1: If you're looking for something special for Valentine's. You need
55:21
