• 1:51
  Speaker 1: lost 12 straight Big Ten games. Loxley 39-54 in eight
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: years with the Terps, but 10-21 since 2024. His contract
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: was $ 6. 4 million this year, running through 2028, a buyout
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of $ 9. 75 million, according to Pete Thamble of ESPN. Longtime
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: assistant Azar Abdul-Rahim is the interim head coach. Strong ties
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to the Washington, D.C.
• 2:29

  Speaker 1: The Terps are on a bye week. We'll... host Illinois

  Speaker 1: next Saturday. They're coming off a loss to Rutgers. More
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: college football tonight. Sam Houston is in Huntsville hosting New
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Mexico State. The Bearcats just won and five last night.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: In case you missed it, and I'm guessing most of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you did, Middle Tennessee beat Florida International 26-23. Delaware threw
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a 61-burger at Missouri State, 61-38. And Marshall beat South
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Alabama 20-13. More football tomorrow night. James Madison at App State.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: East Carolina and Memphis. More Friday night. And, of course,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a full slate of games on Saturday night. I don't
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: expect Saturday to be quite as wild and crazy as
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: it was last Saturday. I don't see how it could be.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: AP has named its preseason All-American team in basketball. Michigan
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: State guard Jeremy Fears was the highest vote getter. Thomas
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Houck of Florida. Tyler Tanner at Vanderbilt, David Murkovic at Illinois,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and Mateus Krivas at Arizona. Second team, according to the votes,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Flory Badunga at Louisville, Brayton Mullins at UConn, John Blackwell
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: at Duke, Robert Wright, and J.T. Toppin at Texas. J.T.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Toppin is back. You know he's 103 years old. This
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: will be his 54th season in Lubbock. Yankees general manager
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Brian Cashman has reached a new deal to continue to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: be the GM, where he has been since 1998. Owner
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Hal Steinbrenner blaming the players. We just have to bang
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: out some minor stuff on the back end of it,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: said Cashman. Yeah, we're locked and loaded. The Yankees have
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: won four world titles and 15 AL East titles under Cashman,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: but they haven't gotten to the World Series since 2009.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: The 17-year drought is the second longest in franchise history.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: The Yankees had their third straight 90-win season. They finished
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: second in the AL East behind the Rays. who swept
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: New York in the ALDS en route to reaching their
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: third World Series since 2008. I say Tampa is going
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to the World Series for the third time in the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: last 20 years. The Rays. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Angels have
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: fired Kurt Suzuki after just one year this past season.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: He guided the Halos to a franchise record 100 losses.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: GM John Mosleyak said, Kurt has earned tremendous respect in
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: our clubhouse. I guess when you lose 100 games, you
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: get the respect of the players. I do not believe
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: our record this year was a true reflection of his
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: abilities as a manager. Again, that's good news. I'm pleased
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: we were able to offer Kurt a role to stay
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: on as special assistant. Blah, blah, blah. You know, Los
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Angeles has new owners. We talked about this. They're going
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to be dangerous because this ownership has a history of winning.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: And the AL West is certainly there for the taking
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: because it was the weakest division in baseball this year.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: with the Astros going to the playoffs with a 500 record.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: So look out for the Angels. I know they haven't
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: been good, but I'm telling you, this new ownership is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: not going to put up with mediocre, unlike some ownerships,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you know, fairly close to where I'm talking right now
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: up in Arlington. Okay. We're going to take a break.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Scott Clendenin is here this afternoon. I will tell you
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: tomorrow we've got our Clark Eisenhower outdoor edition. We've got
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: several nasty animals to talk about attacking. We have got
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: a high school report tomorrow. We're going to hear from
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: some Aggie football players tomorrow. I don't know. We may
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: play Sark just for the heck of it. I mean,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: what is a week without the great? Steve Sarkeesian. I'm
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: not sure about that, by the way. Friday, our regular
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: visits with Tony Catalina of 247 Sports and Kurt Bowles
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of the Houston Chronicle. We will visit with him as
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: we do every Friday. Next Monday, Writers' Roundtable. Next Tuesday,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Best-Selling Author TV host, raconteur Bill O'Reilly joins me next
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Tuesday on the show. He has a new book out
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: called Confronting America. So phone the neighbors, wake the kids,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: tell them next week will be a good show. We had,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: by the way, if you're tuning in, I want to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: apologize because we had our best show of the week yesterday.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: And I don't know that we can duplicate that. If
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you missed the interview we did with Michael Starr on
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: his book on Bob Newhart, you can always find it
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: on our Web page at Chip Howard dot com. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it will also be in the interview section where we
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: put some of our better interviews. So we've got that
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: going on for us, which is nice. When we come back,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: we're going to hear from Kalen DeBoer after this for
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Chad Jones Law.
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: I'm Chad Jones. We know sports injuries hurt, and so
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: do injuries from car wrecks. But you didn't sign up
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: to be in a car wreck with someone who wasn't
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: paying attention. It was their fault, and now you're left
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: to deal with the consequences. You need to see a doctor,
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: and you're missing work. Chad Jones Law can help. We've

• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. It is a Wednesday here on
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: The Big Show. Mallory will be along in the second
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: hour with some entertainment news. Got some good entertainment news
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: today and some bad entertainment news, unfortunately. Kalen DeBoer, he
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: needs a win in Tuscaloosa. I'm not saying he needs
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it worse than Mike Elko, but he needs a win.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: The people in Tuscaloosa don't demand anything less than that.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: And I think there was a little bit of angst
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: after the Georgia loss, but the way in which it
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: went down with the pass interference and blah, blah. I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: think they gave him a pass. And also knowing that, hey,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: it's one loss. We're good. We're going to the playoffs.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: And then they just got punked in Knoxville Saturday. And, oh, my.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: It hasn't been good for Kalen since then. He's got
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the bags under his eyes. He's got that faraway look
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: in his eyes. Now, I want you to notice, we're
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: going to play part of his news conference, which was
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: either Monday or Tuesday. I'm not exactly sure. But I
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: want you to notice, aside from him mentioning Texas A
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: & M coming into play Saturday, he did not get
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: one question about Texas A & M Saturday.
• 13:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think just in general, coming off the last
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: two weeks, our standard doesn't change significantly. It starts with
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: me and our staff continuing to make sure we uphold
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: everything and continue to find ways to put our guys
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: in better positions to be successful. We believe in our guys.
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: The guys are going to come to work tomorrow. They
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: came to work today ready to go. Frustration or any
• 14:05
  Speaker 10: type of hurt or anything like that, that's a good
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: sign because it means that the investment's in there. I
• 14:11
  Speaker 10: expect that from our guys and they expect that from
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: each other. So I think a lot of it comes
• 14:17
  Speaker 10: down to continuity and consistency in really all phases. We've
• 14:23
  Speaker 10: just got to keep improving. It's back to work. It's
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: about just every week, understanding it's a new week. Each
• 14:31
  Speaker 10: week has different matchups. Each week has different scenarios. The
• 14:38
  Speaker 10: opponent's health, our health, all of that is a different week.
• 14:42
  Speaker 10: Each play is its own play. Our guys just got
• 14:45
  Speaker 10: to focus and and continue to believe in what we
• 14:49
  Speaker 10: um and who we are and uh how we accomplish
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: the successes we've had uh and how you know we
• 14:56
  Speaker 10: got to make sure we we get uh everything back
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: on track this week uh important week to attack awesome
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: awesome uh you know weekend as far as our our
• 15:05
  Speaker 10: opponent and homecoming um texas a & m' s got a
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: you know a very good team that's going to come
• 15:12
  Speaker 10: in here They got great personnel, great coaching staff. And so,
• 15:17
  Speaker 10: you know, everyone in the league is coming in, you know,
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: in the same scenario where, you know, you got to
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: be at your best. That's the way we got to
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: approach it. And so, again, attacking the week, you know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: finding that consistency through preparation and being on top of
• 15:35
  Speaker 10: things to where we can go out and play fast,
• 15:37
  Speaker 10: play confident on Saturday is the key. Coach, how would
• 15:43
  Speaker 10: you assess the offensive play call-in on Saturday? I think
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: everything always comes down to execution. You're trying to find
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: the things that you can execute well. I think a
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: lot of our calls are our base calls and things
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: that we run that we've had success with. You've got
• 16:02
  Speaker 10: to stack them on top of each other. When you're
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: in third and extra longs, like we had a number
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: of times early in the game, Um, you just want
• 16:12
  Speaker 10: to not make a bad situation worse. And so, um, it,
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: a lot of it has to do with just being
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: on the same page and, and having your guys execute,
• 16:22
  Speaker 10: you know, Hey, check it down, get some positive yards.
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: It's okay to punt the football once in a while,
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: a lot of that kind of stuff. And so play
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: team football. Um, you know, I think those intentions were
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: certainly there and, um, you know, you're trying to balance, uh, uh,
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: understanding that you got to move the football down the
• 16:39
  Speaker 10: field with also, uh, being patient. Our mistakes early allowed
• 16:45
  Speaker 10: Tennessee to play the game that they needed to play,
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: that they really felt that fits them, playing great defense,
• 16:51
  Speaker 10: playing field position, being able to run and then throw
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: the short control passes, whether it's on the perimeter or
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: with the RPOs. They played better team football than we did.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: The field position.
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: Was in their favor a lot of the game because
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: of the turnovers, because of just the execution errors that
• 17:15
  Speaker 10: we had.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Katie in the left middle.
• 17:19
  Speaker 11: Keelan's told us he doesn't want to be viewed as
• 17:21
  Speaker 11: a young quarterback, but he's only half a year into
• 17:23
  Speaker 11: his first season as a starter. What can you all
• 17:26
  Speaker 11: do to help him settle into games more? And you
• 17:27
  Speaker 11: said in your opening, put people in better positions to
• 17:29
  Speaker 11: be successful.
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: You know, you're trying to have a balance and again,
• 17:34
  Speaker 10: you're trying to take what the defense gives you. And
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: I felt like, again, if it goes back to play calling,
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: I think we had opportunities that are really simple things
• 17:41
  Speaker 10: that he's run a lot this year now that he's
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: comfortable with. There are certain run pass options that have
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: been successful and ones that haven't. And I think we're
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: doing a good job of understanding what he likes and
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: you know, just, quick game getting them out of his
• 18:00
  Speaker 10: hands and things like that i think are are things
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: that he does well uh um you know he also
• 18:07
  Speaker 10: you know has the opportunity and the knack for creating
• 18:10
  Speaker 10: with his legs and i thought he did that at
• 18:11
  Speaker 10: times um you just got to try to not to
• 18:13
  Speaker 10: do too much and so you know we don't we're
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: not going to let him think of himself as a
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: young quarterback either you know he's our quarterback and so
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: um you know that expectation at alabama comes with uh
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: getting the job done. He's more than capable. He's done
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: a great job in so many ways for our football team.
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: Every moment is a learning moment, the good and the
• 18:39
  Speaker 10: times that are rough. He's got a great head on
• 18:42
  Speaker 10: his shoulders. Our staff, each of our players, I think
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: are owning everything that happens. Keelan has definitely done that.
• 18:51
  Speaker 10: Just seeing and hearing him around the building here in
• 18:55
  Speaker 10: the last couple days, he's eager to move forward and
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: be better because of everything that comes his way.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: There was a play against Tennessee where a Tennessee defender
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: was jumping up and down pre-snap, pointing at Marshall Pritchett
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: like he knew what was coming.
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: It was a quick screen to Pritchett. He made the play.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: What can you tell us about what y'all do in
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: terms of self-scout and tendency-breaking plays? um to to kind
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: of prevent that kind of thing especially before the idle
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: week because i know the idle week is when you
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: try to get the most of that work done right.
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: Yeah there's there's so much information each week that you
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: know now you have just i mean it's a touch
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: of the button almost now uh from what what it
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: was maybe five or ten years ago ten years ago
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: for sure uh we can have that information on every
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: personnel grouping and what our tendencies are uh we're certainly
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: aware of that you know marshall has a has a role.
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: It comes in at certain times and, you know, identifying
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: them is what, you know, they should do, you know,
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: cause he has a certain skillset and certain things that
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: he can do, but it doesn't mean that he's getting
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: the ball. Um, but yeah, You know, you certainly need
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: to know where he's at. So, you know, I know
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: exactly the play you're talking about, and I don't see
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: it as that. I think, you know, that they knew
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: he was getting the ball. He's certainly an option and
• 20:16
  Speaker 10: always is going to be because he's that type of threat.
• 20:19
  Speaker 12: What do you think as a coaching staff could be
• 20:21
  Speaker 12: done or can be done to help the O-line when
• 20:23
  Speaker 12: you're in a matchup like that where the D-line and
• 20:25
  Speaker 12: their front is having a lot of success and having
• 20:28
  Speaker 12: some issues passing off some twists and things like that?
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: Well, I think it's what you're doing during the week, right,
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: and the continuity is important. You know, I think then
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: there's the environment too. I mean, you're naturally going to
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: be slower off the ball when you use a silent cadence.
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: You know, you're trying to hone in on what that
• 20:46
  Speaker 10: rhythm is, but then also that rhythm helps the opponent
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: as well because they figure it out. And so, you know,
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: we change up the cadence just enough. We're under center,
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: you know, at times there. Something I think that we're
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: getting more and more comfortable with as well. And just
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: as an offense. And, you know, so there's times where
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: you see, especially the outside, the tackles, they're rolling off
• 21:11
  Speaker 10: the ball a little slower than the guys interior wise. And,
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: you know, that's what the elements create. And especially when
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: you get into situations where, you know, you're in a
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: third and long, you know, or in more of a
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: situation where, your passing and defensive ends and such can
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: kind of see what's going on. Our tackles, we've got
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: to see the ball, see it snapped before they can
• 21:41
  Speaker 10: really look out to where the defender's at. Those split
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: seconds are the difference when you have elite players on
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: the football field like these teams have. We've just got
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: to repetition, hone in, and really kind of making sure
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: that in those games that we're condensing things down to,
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: you know, where we're really dialed in, where there's elite execution. And, again,
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: it goes back to the continuity and consistency of what
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: you have on the football field in practice because those
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: guys are the ones that have to work together. And
• 22:09
  Speaker 10: any time you insert new pieces, don't have some continuity
• 22:13
  Speaker 10: throughout practice in the week, it'll certainly not be the same.
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: It doesn't mean that we thought Mel didn't do a
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: good job. I thought he did a nice job. I
• 22:22
  Speaker 10: thought he jumped right in there. and did as good
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: a job as expected, considering it's his first game really
• 22:27
  Speaker 10: out there as a center.
• 22:32
  Speaker 12: Hey, Kalen, what is your confidence level in Ryan Grubb
• 22:34
  Speaker 12: as a play caller, especially after the last two weeks?
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: I think he's a great play caller. I think that
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: putting an offense together and understanding tendencies and things like that,
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: I think you've got to look at there's a lot
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: of scenarios that go into uh, struggling, um, at times,
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: you know, as an offense. And it's, again, it comes
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: down to execution. A lot of those moments, um, you know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: our fourth and one calls. I mean, I think they're,
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: I think they're really good calls. There are calls. We,
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: we were ready to run in that game. Our guys knew, um,
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: you know, there's, there's details of not, you know, stepping
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: on top of each other and, and things like that,
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: that matter. Um, you know, and so, but the thing about, uh,
• 23:18
  Speaker 10: you know, that about Ryan is that he's, he's evaluating
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: and as critical on himself as anyone. And it's always
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: been like that. It's goes back 15 years, you know,
• 23:30
  Speaker 10: at least 20 years that I've known him. And so, um,
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: you know, that's the beauty I think in our staff
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: as a whole. Um, and just, you know, and as
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: far as you're concerned with the question is just, you know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: I think that's, that's PC. You're just always trying to
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: make it better. You're trying to fit what you do
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: around your personnel. Um, you don't just have a system
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: and it's like, okay, well, we're plugging these guys in
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: the system. We've got to continue to evolve around the
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: players that we have, help them play fast.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:54
  Speaker 13: Do you have updates on, uh, Zabian and EJ from
• 23:58
  Speaker 13: this game and then Ryan racing and, uh, Terrence green
• 24:02
  Speaker 13: from before?
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Uh, yep. Yep.
• 24:05
  Speaker 10: A lot of these guys are kind of in the
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: same boat. Um, I'll just go through Zabian, um, lower
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: leg injury. Um, you know, trying to evaluate throughout the week,
• 24:15
  Speaker 10: what he looks like. Um, Rayson is really in the
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: same boat, and so just kind of go to him.
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: He's progressing pretty well, though, and so we'll see. He's
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: going to be week to week. Ryan is also, again,
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: all these guys are kind of in the same area,
• 24:34
  Speaker 10: in the same window. I would not expect them to
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: be practicing all week long, but we'll kind of see
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: as the week gets to the end what that looks like. EJ,
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: lower leg injury. um, this kind of continue to evaluate.
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: We'll kind of see where he's at, uh, here in
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: the next couple of days. I wouldn't expect him to
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: practice early in the week for sure. Uh, and then
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: Terrence is progressing. They're really, they're all kind of, kind
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: of the same in the same spot. So, um, Terrence
• 25:01
  Speaker 10: is week to week right now.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: It's, uh, Kalen DeBoer, Alabama's banged up and that's not
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: unusual in this league. And this time of year, halfway through, um,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: I know A & M has had a couple of injuries,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: no doubt. Bussey being the year-ender. I don't think Ryan
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Coleman will be available Saturday. But he might be. I
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: don't know that. Their best receiver. But, yeah, they're banged up.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. We talked about this on
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Monday with the writers that both Alabama and when you
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: play like one of those games you have circled when
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the season starts, it's going to take it out of you.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: We have seen, I think, more of that this year
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that I can remember in this league with teams having
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: a hard time putting wins together, and especially back-to-back wins after,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: you know, quote, big wins. All wins are good. All
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: wins are big. I get it. But there are certain
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: ones that are bigger than others. There are certain ones
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: you know that you have to play. But I'm telling you,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: rebounding from those games has been extremely difficult. And we'll
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: see what happens. Actually, Alabama's played two in a row,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: but Tennessee was laying in wait Saturday after the Georgia game.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: We'll see how they respond Saturday. I, you know, I
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: don't know. Stan's going to look this up. When's the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: last time Alabama lost three straight games? We, Be interesting
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: to know. The last time Alabama lost three straight games.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: It's been, I bet it's been a minute.
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: 2007.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Okay. 20 years, almost. So, it doesn't feel like they
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: lost three games in 2007, does it? Saban, was that
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Saban's first year? Maybe. Maybe not. But I don't think
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: he was seen up there yet. It was his first year.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: There you go. And they hadn't done it since. I
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: want to say again, I like Kalen DeBoer. I think
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Kalen DeBoer is a heck of a coach. I think
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: his record speaks for itself. And I don't. I'm not
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: among those that think he might be a bad fit
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: at Alabama. It's just no one who followed Nick Saban
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: was going to be as good. It just wasn't going
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to happen. And you don't want to follow the legend.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: You want to follow the guy that follows the legend. Well,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: we shall see. But Bama Nation stirred up. And that
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: game's at 2.30 on Saturday afternoon. We shall see what happens.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I think if you have to go to Tuscaloosa, I
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: don't know if there's a good time or a bad
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: time to go to Tuscaloosa. But they're, you know, like
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I said, they're banged up. They're not playing their best football.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, I'm assuming they're going to be
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: a little desperate Saturday. A & M has to be desperate.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: You know? That's about the only way you win in
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: this league. And it's really hard to do eight, nine
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: times a season. I think about three times a season.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: And if you have a special group, maybe four out
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: of the 12 games, you can get just really jacked up.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: The other times you have to win on talent. And
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see Alabama's mental state on Saturday.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: We'll see. All right. We're going to take a break.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Scott Clendenin is going to join us. We have got
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: some topics to work through. We will do that when
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: we come back. You know, just about, I'm going to
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: say an hour and a half ago, I had most
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: everything planned. I know it doesn't sound like it so far,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: but I had most everything planned for the show, and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I knew my tank was empty, and I knew I
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: had to take a little trip in the morning. And
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: So I went down, talked to Pat Sebchak, got the
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: car filled up. I said, hey, you need anything? That's
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: just standard operating procedure. And then after I filled up
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: my truck and I got in and I was about
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: to come back, I said, should I have had them
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: clean the windshield because the windshield is dirty? Because I
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: went and talked to Pat while the truck was getting
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: filled up. And they'll do that for you. They will
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: check the pressure. They'll check tire pressure. They'll check your oil.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: They'll do all of that stuff. It's like a service
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: station that some of us are old enough to remember
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: that we grew up with. They provide service. You know,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: now you just pump your own gas and you move along.

  Speaker 1: We had a computer glitch yesterday. I lost my Mission
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Impossible theme. One of the greatest themes ever written, by
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: You'd be hard-pressed. I love the Pink Panther theme. That's
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Henry Mancini.
• 34:43
  Speaker 17: What about the man from Uncle? Was that any good?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: That was pretty good.
• 34:47
  Speaker 17: Okay. Well, I'm going to end it right now.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Gilligan's Island.
• 34:55
  Speaker 17: No, I'm going to end it right now.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Beverly Hillbillies. Nope. What? Oh, Good to Bad and the Ugly.
• 35:04
  Speaker 17: No, that's not a TV show theme.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: No, it's not.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're talking TV show themes.
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because you were talking Mission Impossible TV show.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: No, I was talking about the movie. No, I'm talking
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: about the TV show. Yes.
• 35:15
  Speaker 17: Barney Miller.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think I could.
• 35:19
  Speaker 17: The Bayside?
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. Come on. Bring up Barney Miller theme.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know I know it, but I just don't.
• 35:26
  Speaker 17: Rockford Files.
• 35:28
  Speaker 18: Nope.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Neither one.
• 35:30
  Speaker 18: Chip.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Sorry. Not ringing a bell. Chip. Barney Miller. We'll get
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Barney Miller up for you, and I'll go, oh, shoot,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I should have remembered that. I surely should have remembered that.
• 35:43
  Speaker 17: And have it up, because it's classic from the beginning.
• 35:46
  Speaker 19: Go ahead.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, we're waiting on a commercial.
• 35:49
  Speaker 17: Okay.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I wasn't a regular Rockford Files watcher. Now... I mean, yes,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I know the theme and that guitar lick for sure,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: but I wouldn't have brought it. I couldn't have found it.
• 36:14
  Speaker 17: All right.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Now, Stan, bring up Rockford Files when you get a chance. Okay.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: But I wasn't a– I mean, I watched the Rockford Files,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't must-see TV for me. Right. Right? Yes. Okay.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:28
  Speaker 17: And I'm not even going to do Miami Vice, okay?
• 36:31
  Speaker 20: Okay.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I like Miami Vice.
• 36:33
  Speaker 17: Okay. But when we're ready.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 36:37
  Speaker 19: Uh, no.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: This is Jim Rockford.
• 36:42
  Speaker 19: At the tone, leave your name and message.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: I'll get back to you.
• 36:45
  Speaker 17: You're full of bullshit, my friend.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I will sue you for everything you have. I will
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: sue your ass. No. No, I can't pull that one up.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I wasn't a regular, so it doesn't
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: immediately come up.
• 37:00
  Speaker 17: Magnum P.I.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I did watch Magnum P.I. I certainly watched Magnum P.I.,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: but I've already named some better ones. No. Yeah.
• 37:14
  Speaker 17: Because I watched all those, too.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Beverly Hillbillies was just flat and scrugs. They were terrific.
• 37:20
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: And the theme from Gilligan's Island, you can't get better
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: than that. Everybody could sing that my age. I even
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: remember the words.
• 37:30
  Speaker 10: For that one.
• 37:31
  Speaker 17: What about Dobie Gillis?
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, I like Dobie Gillis.
• 37:34
  Speaker 17: I don't know Dobie Gillis.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I like me some Dobie Gillis. Bring up Dobie Gillis,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: would you? I don't even know.
• 37:39
  Speaker 17: I didn't even know they had a theme song.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hi, Mr. G. Hi, Mrs. G.
• 37:43
  Speaker 17: Hi, Dobie G.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Hey, that's you, dope.
• 37:46
  Speaker 11: No.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Maynard G. Krebs. Love me some Maynard G. Krebs.
• 37:51
  Speaker 17: Okay. What about the most famous one of all time?
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know what is the most famous one of
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: all time. In your opinion. Oh, it's a good one.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I like the whistling. You know?
• 38:03
  Speaker 17: I mean, you knew what it was.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Immediately. Yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 38:20
  Speaker 17: Oh, I got another one for you.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: How about Get Smart? Yes. I'd get smart. Get Smart.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Don Adams. Great show.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: And Agent 99. Barbara Feldman.
• 38:38
  Speaker 19: She could act.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: She could act in her day. She's still alive, I believe.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I think she's like late 80s, 90-ish, something like that. Yeah,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure she's still alive. Now, I'm scrolling this
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: afternoon before you got here, during a break, of course,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: and it comes up. there's this headline, actors that have
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: died in 2026 that went under the radar. Okay. Actors
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: that have died in 2026 that went under the radar.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: You know whose name came up? Janine Turner. Janine Turner
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: had Jerry Jones's son's love child.
• 39:24
  Speaker 18: Okay.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: And I'm going, Janine Turner died? How did I miss
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Janine Turner died? So I go to a more reputable website.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: She hasn't died. She's like 62, you know? I mean,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: she still looks great. I'm going, these stupid people. Okay,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: get smart. So I just had an alert listener call in,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: and I feel ashamed that this one didn't come up. Yeah? Bonanza.
• 40:16
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's probably no more classics. No more classic.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's the best one. It's instantly recognized.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Bring me up some Bonanza, Stan. I mean, that was
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Have Gun, Will Travel.
• 40:40
  Speaker 17: See, I like Have Gun, Will Travel.
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 40:43
  Speaker 17: That was my favorite.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I love that one.
• 40:46
  Speaker 17: But, Chip, we're in Aggieland.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: So? What does that have to do with anything?
• 40:51
  Speaker 17: The Rifleman.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Oh. Baseball.
• 40:55
  Speaker 17: But I'd love to have Gun Will Travel.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, I did too. It was a good one.
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: So the first time I'm watching Big Jake and Paladin
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: is the bad guy.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Paladin.
• 41:07
  Speaker 17: It kills me.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam? Paladin, Paladin, far, far
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: from home. All right, hit it. I mean, is there
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: a more iconic one? I don't think so. All right,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: that's enough of that. Okay, I know. We'll get to
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: the stuff. Well, I don't know what you want to
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: talk about, but we'll get there.
• 41:31
  Speaker 17: You got topics?
• 41:32

  Speaker 20: The Houston Texans are assessing their new offensive pieces as
• 42:13
  Speaker 20: they get set to face the New York Giants on Sunday.
• 42:15
  Speaker 20: Whiteout Tank Dell is set to come back from a
• 42:17
  Speaker 20: multi-year knee injury this week, and trade acquisition Marvin Harrison Jr.
• 42:21
  Speaker 20: averaged over 11 yards per catch in his first game
• 42:23
  Speaker 20: with the Texans. Now it's time to scout the Giants
• 42:25
  Speaker 20: at 3-2-1, led by a veteran quarterback, but young skill players.
• 42:29
  Speaker 20: Here's Texans General Manager Nick Casario yesterday on Texans Radio
• 42:32
  Speaker 20: with his evaluation of the Big Blue.
• 42:35
  Speaker 13: It's an NFC team, so the personnel is different. But,
• 42:38
  Speaker 13: I mean, this looks like a Coach Harbaugh football team.
• 42:41
  Speaker 13: I mean, they're big, they're strong, they're physical on both
• 42:44
  Speaker 13: sides of the ball. But this looks like Coach Harbaugh
• 42:48
  Speaker 13: is leaving his imprint. They've started off with their 3-2-1
• 42:51
  Speaker 13: or whatever their record is. They've essentially been in every game,
• 42:53
  Speaker 13: had a chance to win. the games that they lost. But,
• 42:56
  Speaker 13: I mean, offensively, we're going to have to prepare for
• 42:57
  Speaker 13: both quarterbacks. You know, Jameis has kind of played a bunch,
• 43:00
  Speaker 13: and then J.J. played there in the fourth quarter.
• 43:02
  Speaker 20: Kickoff between the Texans and Giants is set for noon
• 43:04
  Speaker 20: Sunday from Reliant Stadium. With your Houston Texans report, I'm

  Speaker 1: Okay, so there are three shows you need to be
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: aware of that are right around the corner for MSC Opus.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: One of them is a kid's show. It's Fraggle Rock
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: from Jim Henson. You know anything Jim Henson does, and
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: you know Fraggle Rock. That is Halloween morning at 11 a.m.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: The kids are going to be bouncing off the walls,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: especially if they've gone to something Friday night and have
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: eaten all the candy. Or if they haven't, they're getting ready.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: That is Fraggle Rock on the 31st at 11 a.m.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: at Rudder the following week. Churchill and Roosevelt, The Christmas
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: That Saved the World. That is at Rudder Theater, meaning
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: there aren't as many tickets available. I haven't checked. I
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: think there are a few left. I already have mine,
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: and I just got mine this week. Back-to-Back Nights, November
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: 10th and 11th, is the Neil Diamond musical, A Beautiful Noise. Now,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the story is. I really don't.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: And I'll be honest with you, I don't really care.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: I know the music is going to be fantastic. Those
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: are the next three from MSC Opus. Call the box
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: office at 845-1234 or go online at opustickets.org. Your A
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: & M.
• 45:28
  Speaker 9: Alabama Saturday starts at 10.30 a.m. here on The Zone, 11.50 a.m.
• 45:33
  Speaker 9: and 93.7 FM with the Carney's Pub game day show
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: brought to you by techsags.com. Carney's Pub, the perfect spot
• 45:41
  Speaker 9: to relax with family and friends. catch all the action
• 45:45
  Speaker 9: of an Aggie football game.

  Speaker 1: A college football Saturday.
• 45:48
  Speaker 9: Carney's Pub voted the best pub and best patio in
• 45:51
  Speaker 9: the Brazos Valley. A & M Alabama Saturday starts 10.30 a.m.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Here on The Zone, 11.50 a.m. and 93.7 FM. This
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: was from another alert listener. Who mentioned the MASH theme.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Another classic. Suicide is painless. And
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: if you saw the movie that led to the TV show,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: you know that they actually sang the words to that
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: theme song. They never did, I don't believe, in the
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: TV show. No, they did not. But in the movie,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: they did. And that led to the TV show, which
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: was a phenomenal TV show. Classics. TV show. So there
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: you go. That's a few of them. Just a few
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: of them. There are many more. Scott Clendenin is here.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Mallory will be with us in the second hour. Tomorrow,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: we'll have a high school report. We'll have the Clark
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Eisenhower outdoor edition. Tomorrow, we're taking a float trip down
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: the Roaring Fork River, and I wish I was there
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: right now. Okay. A & M Alabama coming up Saturday
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: afternoon at 2.30. What do you expect?
• 47:17
  Speaker 17: I have no earthly idea.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: Me neither. I really don't either. I don't know. I just,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Will Alabama be desperate if they are?
• 47:31
  Speaker 17: How can they be more desperate than they were last weekend?
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I tell you, like I said, I don't think
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: coming off the game the week before, they had anything left.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: And I don't think Georgia had anything left. I don't
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: think either of those teams had anything left. I don't
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: care how desperate you are. They didn't have anything left.
• 47:55
  Speaker 7: Well, how are they going to have anything left this week?
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: They got beat up just the exact same? That's the
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: other question. They're a beaten up team. Physically, they are
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: beaten up. A & M will come in healthier.
• 48:06
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: But does that matter? I don't know. I mean, if
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Keelan Russell goes off and you let him, you know,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: have a couple of 50-yard TD runs, but your quarterback
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: hadn't done that yet, and you know he's still capable
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: of doing it.
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: Chip, I told you last week that I watched the
• 48:26
  Speaker 7: Arkansas-Tennessee game and thought that Arkansas should have won the game.
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: Arkansas played head and shoulders better than Alabama did against Tennessee.
• 48:39
  Speaker 17: It doesn't even come close.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: And that's what I don't... But I just think that's
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: the world in which we live now.
• 48:47
  Speaker 17: That's the SEC in which we live now.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Well, yes, to a lesser extent there are others, but correct,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: adding the ninth game, and I said this Monday, with
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: this 2014 playoff.
• 49:00
  Speaker 17: Go back to eight?
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Go back to eight.
• 49:02
  Speaker 17: You're exactly right.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: No question you should go back to eight. No doubt
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: in my mind.
• 49:07
  Speaker 20: Yes.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: You should go back to eight. It sounded like a
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: good idea at the time. TV wanted it, but you're
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: adding playoff games now. You're playing more games. If you
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: want to an SEC team that's standing upright in January
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: after 14 games.
• 49:28
  Speaker 17: Well, they're getting rid of the conference tournament.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: They are getting rid of the conference championship, which is good.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: I'm for that. So go back to eight, go back
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: to eight, play, play four, play one good game, play
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: three cupcakes. Right.
• 49:42
  Speaker 17: But you're also going to get that game.
• 49:44
  Speaker 7: You want to make up for losing some of that
• 49:46
  Speaker 7: money that you're losing in the conference tournament game.
• 49:48
  Speaker 17: Give everybody another home game.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly.
• 49:54
  Speaker 17: So yes. Agree with you.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: 100%. Wow.
• 49:57
  Speaker 17: You are correct, sir.
• 49:58
  Speaker 10: Um, yes.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Um, Yeah, I mean, will they do it?
• 50:09
  Speaker 17: I would not be surprised, Chip.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they should do it. I think there's
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: some people that are going to... That has to be
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: on the table, doesn't it?
• 50:14
  Speaker 17: That has to be on the table.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Now, the coaches don't get involved a lot in stuff
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: like this, but I guarantee the coaches are involved right now,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: given what we've already seen.
• 50:24
  Speaker 7: You think the next coach at Alabama is not going
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: to be involved with that?
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: I do not.
• 50:29
  Speaker 17: Not going to tell his athletic director?
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: No, I do not. I don't think that that the
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: new coach will be in a position to be telling
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: Greg Byrne how to schedule. And do you think there's
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: going to be a new coach at Alabama? What would
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: have to happen for there to be a new coach
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: at Alabama? Because the next discussion goes to Texas, and
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's going to be a new coach
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: this year in Austin, after this year. I don't think so.
• 51:04
  Speaker 17: Even if they lose to Ole Miss?
• 51:05
  Speaker 13: No.
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: No.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: And I, you know.
• 51:09
  Speaker 17: I think you lose three games in a row, you
• 51:11
  Speaker 17: start bringing it into play.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: No, he turns up, but they're not going to fire him.
• 51:15
  Speaker 7: No, but he is nowhere near the level of the
• 51:19
  Speaker 7: heat that is on DeBoer because he wasn't replacing Nick Saban.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Absolutely correct.
• 51:26
  Speaker 17: Absolutely correct. Okay.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: But there's plenty of heat, but they're not going to
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: fire him this year. DeBoer, it's Alabama. But, again.
• 51:37
  Speaker 17: Lose to A & M.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: You still got to play Auburn.
• 51:39
  Speaker 17: We went through their schedule last week, Chip.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: I mean, the teams that Alabama has to play, make
• 51:47
  Speaker 7: some more losses in there. Play like you did this
• 51:49
  Speaker 7: last week. And I don't care who the opponent is.
• 51:52
  Speaker 7: You're putting yourself in a position where you can lose
• 51:54
  Speaker 7: the football game.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: No doubt. No question about that. Okay. Yeah.
• 52:00
  Speaker 17: Texas, same thing.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Same thing.
• 52:03
  Speaker 17: A & M, same thing.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Same thing.
• 52:05
  Speaker 18: Georgia.
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: Georgia.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Same thing?
• 52:07
  Speaker 19: Yes.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Now, the history of Kirby Smart and Georgia would tell
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: you that's not going to happen. The other schools, I'm
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: not so sure about. But I would be shocked if
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Kirby loses another game. I would be very surprised. Even
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: if he lost another game, Now, if he lost another
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: game and lost the championship game with three losses, then
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: you're in really shaky territory, right?
• 52:39
  Speaker 17: It depends on who you lose.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Depending on who you lose to.
• 52:42
  Speaker 17: We don't even know. What are the standings, Chip?
• 52:45
  Speaker 19: I don't know.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: I don't have the standings. You'll have to pull them up.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: That's one thing I did not do today. Tennessee, I think,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: is in first place.
• 52:53
  Speaker 17: No, I think it's Kentucky.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Kentucky's in. Okay, go ahead. So the SEC... Standings are Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Georgia has, what's their record?
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: 4-1?
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 53:05
  Speaker 13: 3-1.
• 53:06
  Speaker 18: 4-1.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: 4-1 in conference?
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: What's Kentucky? 4-1 as well.
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: 4-1.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Tennessee?
• 53:11
  Speaker 10: 3-1.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Really? Okay, so they haven't played, and Texas hasn't played
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: that extra game yet either. Ole Miss 3-1. Ole Miss
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: is 3-1. So you got Ole Miss, Kentucky, Georgia, Tennessee.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Anybody else with one loss?
• 53:28
  Speaker 14: No.
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: So those four teams have one loss. Okay. Do you see,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: like I said, I can see Georgia running the table
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: from here.
• 53:40
  Speaker 18: Okay.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: I can see them going into the championship game with
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: one loss. The other teams, I'm just not confident.
• 53:50
  Speaker 17: Kentucky has Vandy.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 53:53
  Speaker 17: Tennessee.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: Vandy's a rivalry game.
• 53:56
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 53:56
  Speaker 19: Tennessee.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Tennessee.
• 53:58
  Speaker 17: Tennessee on the road at Tennessee.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: That's another rivalry game.
• 54:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that they basically kept Mark Stoops' job because he
• 54:05
  Speaker 7: was the first coach to ever start beating Tennessee.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 54:09
  Speaker 17: Florida at Missouri and Louisville.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: That's a brutal schedule. Whose schedule is that? Kentucky. Brutal schedule.
• 54:16
  Speaker 17: Everybody's schedule is brutal.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: It is. In fairness, that's probably true. That's a really
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: hard schedule. So they're going to lose a game or two.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Kentucky is.
• 54:29
  Speaker 10: Maybe.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: I think they are. Tennessee?
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: I've got to get back to Tennessee. Tennessee schedule. Tennessee,
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: I think, is harder than that. Tennessee, South Carolina, Kentucky.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: No, it's not.
• 54:49
  Speaker 17: South Carolina, Kentucky.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: A & M is on there.
• 54:52
  Speaker 17: At A & M, LSU, and Vandy.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: That's not a bad schedule. Kentucky's is worse.
• 54:59
  Speaker 17: Yes, Kentucky's is worse.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Georgia? Georgia, we said from the beginning of the season,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: when I picked Georgia, and most people picked Georgia that
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: didn't pick Texas, I picked Georgia because of Georgia's schedule
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: this year. Not only the non-conference schedule, but the conference schedule.
• 55:19
  Speaker 17: Florida at Ole Miss.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, the Florida game is what, in two weeks? Yes.
• 55:24
  Speaker 15: Okay.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 55:24
  Speaker 17: Florida at Ole Miss.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Next week. Is it the 31st?
• 55:28
  Speaker 14: 31st.
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: Next week.
• 55:29
  Speaker 17: Florida at Ole Miss. Missouri.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: At Ole Miss. Missouri. Okay.
• 55:34
  Speaker 19: At home.
• 55:34
  Speaker 17: At South Carolina.
• 55:35
  Speaker 18: Okay.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: And Georgia Tech.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: Okay. So, they've got two, in my mind, difficult games.
• 55:42
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: They've got the Florida game, which is a rivalry game,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: and they go to Ole Miss. Okay? They might lose
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: a game. They might. Another one.
• 55:53
  Speaker 18: Because.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: We'll see.
• 55:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just that, you know. It's a gauntlet.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is.
• 56:01
  Speaker 17: Now, Florida doesn't play either. They have an off week.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: Okay. Before the game next week.
• 56:06
  Speaker 17: Before the game next week.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: They're not playing this week.
• 56:09
  Speaker 17: So, Georgia, Oklahoma, at Kentucky, Vandy, and at Florida State.
• 56:16
