- 0:38Speaker 3: Welcome in to a week one edition of Tailgate Talk.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Thanks to Gateway First Bank, Evan Farbach, Chris Rebar, Chris Batchelder,
- 0:47Speaker 3: Nighthawk with you. We've got everyone in action across the
- 0:50Speaker 3: area this week. For a little bit of an appetizer,
- 0:53Speaker 3: you had probably two. 60, 70% of the teams play
- 0:57Speaker 3: a week ago. Guys, a good week number one. Excited
- 1:00Speaker 3: to get things cranked up, I guess, for technically week
- 1:03Speaker 3: number one after zero week last week.
- 1:05Speaker 4: It is week two. I never agree with the week zero.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Then we're going to have to call week 10, week 11.
- 1:11Speaker 5: Hey, Evan, I'm going to be honest. We probably ought
- 1:13Speaker 5: to open the show by saying that Revard and I
- 1:17Speaker 5: are just going to go ahead and leave. Because all
- 1:20Speaker 5: we hear from the listeners and people I run into
- 1:23Speaker 5: on the street is, we want more Nighthawk.
- 1:27Speaker 3: What do they mean by more Nighthawk?
- 1:28Speaker 2: They want more Nighthawk.
- 1:29Speaker 3: It's kind of like they want his own show or something.
- 1:32Speaker 5: They don't feel like Nighthawk is getting his share of
- 1:35Speaker 5: the comments. They don't feel like Reeve Hart and I
- 1:37Speaker 5: bring anything to the conversation.
- 1:40Speaker 2: They just want more Nighthawk.
- 1:41Speaker 4: More Cowbell. Yeah. More Cowbell.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Maybe we can get that done.
- 1:46Speaker 4: We need to listen to it.
- 1:47Speaker 3: So we got a full slate across the area. Just
- 1:50Speaker 3: so everyone knows, South Coffeyville, they will not play. They're
- 1:54Speaker 3: literally the only local team that will not play this Friday.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Their game was called off with Graham Dustin by Graham Dustin.
- 2:01Speaker 3: That's why they added that game last week. They did
- 2:03Speaker 3: end up losing, by the way. in Choctaw. Bartlesville, Bahuska, Copan, Barnstall,
- 2:09Speaker 3: all winners. Caney Valley, Dewey, South Coffeyville, losers during zero
- 2:14Speaker 3: week last week. So let's hop into week one action.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Caney Valley, Kansas gets going on the road at Eureka.
- 2:20Speaker 3: It's a ball game we'll have on our stations north
- 2:22Speaker 3: of the border on US 98.1 FM, KUSN. Season opener
- 2:27Speaker 3: for year number 41 for Chris Davis in Caney Valley.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Kansas has been their since 85. Bullpups, if you remember,
- 2:35Speaker 3: went 9-2 a season ago. Lost at home in the
- 2:39Speaker 3: 2A third round of the playoffs, 46-16. Eureka is in
- 2:43Speaker 3: 1A this fall. They were 6-3 a year ago. Two
- 2:46Speaker 3: teams have not played since 2023. Caney Valley won the
- 2:50Speaker 3: most recent one, 58-16, three years ago. Caney Valley 8-2
- 2:55Speaker 3: in their last 10 season openers. They had a jamboree
- 2:59Speaker 3: last Friday with Phil Kinley and Independence. A what? A
- 3:03Speaker 3: jamboree is what they call their scrimmages. They're a little
- 3:05Speaker 3: three-way street.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Jamboree.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Yeah, jamboree. So anyway, I got to listen to the
- 3:09Speaker 3: interview with Chris Davis. Have you guys ever heard Chris
- 3:12Speaker 3: Davis talk? I assume Coach Reber has.
- 3:14Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Boy, he sounds exactly how you'd expect him
- 3:16Speaker 3: to sound.
- 3:17Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:17Speaker 3: And he also doesn't really look very old. I'm not
- 3:19Speaker 3: sure how old he is. He's obviously been there for
- 3:21Speaker 3: 41 years, so he's got to be in his 60s
- 3:23Speaker 3: at least.
- 3:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:25Speaker 3: He sounds quite a bit older than he looks.
- 3:27Speaker 4: Well, anybody that calls a scrimmage a jamboree.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Well, they're doing that in Kansas.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Of course you're living there.
- 3:31Speaker 5: That's a Kansas thing.
- 3:33Speaker 4: I'm telling you, a jamboree.
- 3:34Speaker 2: And I think your independence coach got fired after that.
- 3:36Speaker 3: It was Phil Kindley.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:38Speaker 3: I think it was right before that he got fired.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:40Speaker 3: So they're having to replace their head coach.
- 3:46Speaker 5: Oh, wait a minute. He got fired right before the
- 3:48Speaker 5: season starts?
- 3:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Before the scrimmage.
- 3:50Speaker 3: Okay.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Got relieved of his duties.
- 3:53Speaker 6: Crazy.
- 3:53Speaker 4: Okay. So he just didn't resign.
- 3:55Speaker 2: They don't mess around up there in the state of
- 3:57Speaker 2: Kansas with their football.
- 3:59Speaker 3: So Caney Valley.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Let's at least let him lose a few games.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Caney Valley is at Eureka.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Okay.
- 4:08Speaker 5: Guys, we talk about this literally at this moment.
- 4:12Speaker 2: Of this show every year. We talk about this.
- 4:15Speaker 5: And I wish we could just fast forward to week
- 4:17Speaker 5: one of the playoffs because this is just how... The
- 4:22Speaker 5: script goes for the bullpups every year. They're going to
- 4:25Speaker 5: win this game by a whole bunch. They're going to
- 4:27Speaker 5: win all their games by a whole bunch, except for
- 4:30Speaker 5: one where they trip in the middle of the season,
- 4:33Speaker 5: and then they're going to go three weeks deep in
- 4:35Speaker 5: the playoffs and lose.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Drive up close to Nebraska or something. Yeah, exactly.
- 4:40Speaker 4: Six-hour bus ride.
- 4:42Speaker 5: Yeah, Nighthawk and Coach Revard have it down every year. So, yeah,
- 4:47Speaker 5: I'm taking the bullpups. Again, 41 years at one school
- 4:52Speaker 5: is awesome. I have not heard him talk. I kind
- 4:55Speaker 5: of want to now. I'm going to go see if
- 4:56Speaker 5: I can find it. Yeah, I got the bullpups.
- 5:00Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, what do you say? Exactly what Batch
- 5:03Speaker 4: just said. They're going to win big. They're going to
- 5:06Speaker 4: have a trip during the middle of the season, and
- 5:08Speaker 4: then they're going to go to the playoffs, and somewhere
- 5:10Speaker 4: they're going to get on the road and drive that
- 5:12Speaker 4: yellow school bus four or five hours, either up by
- 5:16Speaker 4: Colorado or Nebraska. Yeah. And those poor kids are going
- 5:21Speaker 4: to play in a different environment up there.
- 5:22Speaker 3: They did lose at home last year.
- 5:26Speaker 4: Okay. You know the point we're trying to make.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Well, this year they're going to do the same thing,
- 5:31Speaker 2: except for they've got a lot of the same returners
- 5:34Speaker 2: coming back. They've got a lot of the same kids
- 5:36Speaker 2: coming back from 9-2-2. And we talk about that. When's
- 5:39Speaker 2: the last time a Washington County team went 9-2? I
- 5:41Speaker 2: don't know.
- 5:42Speaker 3: 91?
- 5:43Speaker 2: It's been a bit.
- 5:45Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Bartlesville. Only lost one game 10 years ago.
- 5:48Speaker 2: 10 years ago?
- 5:49Speaker 4: Okay.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Long time.
- 5:50Speaker 2: And they do it every year.
- 5:52Speaker 6: I know.
- 5:52Speaker 4: Yeah, consistent.
- 5:54Speaker 2: They're a machine. He's a great coach. He is.
- 5:56Speaker 3: I will tell you, he mentioned, in fact, we'll go
- 6:01Speaker 3: ahead and we'll play that audio so people can hear him,
- 6:03Speaker 3: and you can hear him talk about their passing game.
- 6:06Speaker 3: He was excited because he thinks they've thrown the ball
- 6:10Speaker 3: quite a bit better this past offseason than.
- 6:13Speaker 4: They usually do, obviously.
- 6:19Speaker 2: I told you!
- 6:20Speaker 3: Lane Kinney and Bradley Vargas were the guys that played
- 6:23Speaker 3: quarterback during the jamboree. Point your mics toward the speakers
- 6:28Speaker 3: and we'll listen to Coach Davis here.
- 6:29Speaker 6: We know we gotta go to work every day. I mean,
- 6:32Speaker 6: you know, you sit and you look and if you're
- 6:36Speaker 6: contempt and happy with where you're at, then we become stale. And,
- 6:43Speaker 6: you know, my coaching staff does a great job every
- 6:47Speaker 6: week of making sure that we don't get stale, you know.
- 6:53Speaker 3: That was actually on mindset, but anyway.
- 6:55Speaker 2: You slowed that down.
- 6:56Speaker 3: No, I did not.
- 6:57Speaker 5: You slowed that down by two times.
- 7:00Speaker 3: I just figured it out.
- 7:01Speaker 4: I just figured it out. Guarantee it. He has those
- 7:04Speaker 4: kids doing square bales up there.
- 7:05Speaker 3: Oh, 100%.
- 7:06Speaker 5: 100%.
- 7:06Speaker 4: You know what the first thing I think when I
- 7:09Speaker 4: hear that is?
- 7:10Speaker 5: Man, I don't want to get in trouble.
- 7:11Speaker 2: With that guy. Evan, who did you say? You said
- 7:15Speaker 2: a Vargas' quarterback, right?
- 7:17Speaker 4: Yes.
- 7:17Speaker 3: There was two guys that took snaps during the Jamboree, Lane, Kenny,
- 7:21Speaker 3: and Bradley Vargas.
- 7:22Speaker 2: What grade is Bradley Vargas in?
- 7:23Speaker 3: I don't know that.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Okay, you don't know that. Well, his dad's superintendent.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Okay.
- 7:28Speaker 2: And his dad's an old Dewey Bulldogger. Really?
- 7:30Speaker 4: Yep.
- 7:31Speaker 5: Okay.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Okay.
- 7:32Speaker 4: We need to fact check that.
- 7:34Speaker 3: All right.
- 7:34Speaker 2: Everybody guess.
- 7:35Speaker 3: It's fine.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Check it out right now. Let me guess. His dad's
- 7:39Speaker 2: name is Blake Vargas, and he had three brothers that
- 7:45Speaker 2: all played football for me. No. No. Well, they may.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 7:50Speaker 3: No.
- 7:51Speaker 2: And he's been superintendent there for a long time. And
- 7:53Speaker 2: he played. What are we doing here? And he played
- 7:57Speaker 2: in the band at OU when they won the national championships.
- 8:01Speaker 2: He sure did. Good people.
- 8:02Speaker 4: Hey, can I just say we're getting a little bit
- 8:04Speaker 4: more advanced. We got some sound effects.
- 8:06Speaker 3: I know.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Did you hear that?
- 8:07Speaker 5: That's cool. Soon there's going to be clown whistles and stuff.
- 8:11Speaker 3: Everybody takes the bullpups. Let's move on to Oklahoma Union.
- 8:14Speaker 3: Season opener for the Cougars at home against Drumright. New
- 8:18Speaker 3: era Oklahoma Union football. Josh Middleton, former offensive coordinator of Mounds,
- 8:24Speaker 3: comes over for his first head coaching job. He had
- 8:27Speaker 3: also been at Stroud and Showtoe. Takes over for Bruce Munden.
- 8:31Speaker 3: who left after one season to go to Kirksville, Missouri.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Oklahoma Union, 1-9 last year. That one win was over
- 8:37Speaker 3: Caney Valley. Got the low 20s of guys out for
- 8:40Speaker 3: football this fall. Drumright was 6-5 a year ago in
- 8:44Speaker 3: eight-man football. Tornadoes are 0-1. They lost to Wewoka in
- 8:49Speaker 3: their opener last week, 47-6. Again, this is Oklahoma Union's
- 8:53Speaker 3: season opener. Cougars 5-5 in their first ballgames over the
- 8:56Speaker 3: last 10 years. Oklahoma Union has gone 5-35 the past
- 9:01Speaker 3: four seasons. Oklahoma Union at home against Drumright.
- 9:05Speaker 5: Guys, I know what my pick is going to be,
- 9:08Speaker 5: but before I do it, can both of you guys
- 9:11Speaker 5: speak to the challenges of coming up from 8-man and
- 9:16Speaker 5: what that might look like in the first season? Sounds
- 9:19Speaker 5: like they had trouble in their season opener, but Drumright
- 9:24Speaker 5: is playing– is coming up from eight-man this year for
- 9:27Speaker 5: the first time.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Is that tough? It could be, but Drumwright hasn't been
- 9:32Speaker 2: in eight-man all that many years. They were eight-man.
- 9:36Speaker 3: The last two years.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Oh, they went down. Oh, they went down. Okay. It's
- 9:43Speaker 2: not like Morrison, who's been down forever, has come up.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Nothing like that.
- 9:47Speaker 5: Okay, they've played 11-man before.
- 9:49Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Okay, all right. They kind of like Barnstall, they kind
- 9:52Speaker 2: of bounce back and forth a little bit.
- 9:55Speaker 5: Well, I got the Cougars. We are always pulling. for
- 10:00Speaker 5: these area schools, and all four of us have been
- 10:04Speaker 5: really behind Oklahoma Union and kind of what they've been
- 10:08Speaker 5: building over the last several years. But I really want
- 10:12Speaker 5: to see them come out in their season opener and
- 10:14Speaker 5: get a win, and.
- 10:15Speaker 2: That would be awesome.
- 10:17Speaker 5: So I'm going to just– Superstitiously take them.
- 10:22Speaker 2: I'm going to take the Cougars as well. I got
- 10:24Speaker 2: a new coach. They're excited. Low 20s. That's not a
- 10:28Speaker 2: lot of kids, so they need to stay healthy. And
- 10:31Speaker 2: Drumwright moving up. Kids haven't played in a couple years,
- 10:35Speaker 2: so they'll adjust as well. But I got the Cougars.
- 10:38Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I'm also going to Oklahoma Union. I looked
- 10:40Speaker 4: a little bit about the game last week between Drumwright
- 10:43Speaker 4: and Wawoka. Wawoka ran for 320 yards. You know, they
- 10:47Speaker 4: had a kid run for 230 yards. So, obviously, they
- 10:50Speaker 4: gave up a whole bunch of yards on the ground.
- 10:54Speaker 4: Oklahoma Union, I think, you know, we've always liked those guys.
- 10:58Speaker 4: I mean, if you think about the last two or
- 11:00Speaker 4: three years of how that program, the numbers and the
- 11:03Speaker 4: records and everything, I'm going to Oklahoma Union.
- 11:06Speaker 3: All right, Copan, home opener against Crossover Prep. Hornets 1-0.
- 11:11Speaker 3: They beat New Heights Christian Academy in Joplin last week, 56-6.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Two scores on defense, according to head coach Tritton Kallenberger,
- 11:20Speaker 3: Aiden Martin, Slayton Brewington, Elijah Evans were kind of the
- 11:23Speaker 3: highlights in that ballgame. Crossover Prep did not play last week.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Lions have some athletes. Kallenberger said they'll like to get
- 11:31Speaker 3: the ball outside. Crossover prep was 2-7, a record I
- 11:36Speaker 3: could find for them last year. They were not in
- 11:37Speaker 3: the OSSA the past two-year district series, but they will
- 11:42Speaker 3: be in the OSSA in Class C-3 this fall. By
- 11:46Speaker 3: the way, that 56-6 win for Copan, that was a
- 11:50Speaker 3: full four-quarter game. They don't have a run rule, I guess,
- 11:52Speaker 3: in Missouri, so Copan was up 38-0 at halftime and
- 11:57Speaker 3: Coach Kallenberger seemed quite pleased that he got a bunch
- 11:59Speaker 3: of younger guys in. It's good they've got some younger
- 12:01Speaker 3: guys to put in there, obviously. They've got 24. I
- 12:04Speaker 3: think Copan's probably got just as many, if not more,
- 12:06Speaker 3: than Oklahoma Union, Caney Valley, you know, some schools like that. So, anyway,
- 12:11Speaker 3: Copan at home against crossover prep.
- 12:14Speaker 5: Guys, what I'm most excited about more than anything here
- 12:17Speaker 5: with this pick is that it would appear that Shooter Brewington,
- 12:22Speaker 5: the greatest name ever, player ever to play at Copan's.
- 12:26Speaker 5: Younger brother, Slayton Brewington, which is just behind Shooter Brewington,
- 12:33Speaker 5: is on the team this year, and that is something
- 12:35Speaker 5: that's exciting for me, and that's enough for me to
- 12:37Speaker 5: take them here to go 2-0. I don't know anything
- 12:42Speaker 5: about crossover prep, but I know that I like Copan,
- 12:45Speaker 5: so I'm taking them.
- 12:46Speaker 4: I like Copan a lot, and also Bruenten, I love
- 12:48Speaker 4: the name. Gosh darn, those parents have got to get.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Some sort of a– Shooter Slayton.
- 12:52Speaker 4: Yeah, is Shooter Bruenten a better golf name or football name?
- 12:56Speaker 5: Oh, great question.
- 12:57Speaker 4: Shooter. No, 100%. I guess probably Shooter McGavin.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Is what they get about.
- 13:01Speaker 3: You already got that one.
- 13:03Speaker 4: Yeah, coach doing a great job up there. I'm taking
- 13:05Speaker 4: Copan by probably a lot. I think it's going to
- 13:08Speaker 4: play well for them the first couple games. I think
- 13:10Speaker 4: it's going to be a 40-point game, 35-point game. I
- 13:13Speaker 4: think they're going to come out, and hopefully they get
- 13:16Speaker 4: some of those younger guys will start getting some more
- 13:18Speaker 4: playing time. Coach, you and I have talked about this.
- 13:21Speaker 4: That experience early is critical for those younger guys. Oh,
- 13:25Speaker 4: my goodness.
- 13:26Speaker 2: It's my bad.
- 13:27Speaker 3: Jeez.
- 13:28Speaker 2: What makes it worse?
- 13:29Speaker 4: Oh, every one guy. I just want to announce we've
- 13:31Speaker 4: got a new guy here. His name is Batchelder. So, Batchy. But, yeah,
- 13:36Speaker 4: Copay him.
- 13:38Speaker 2: You know, we talked about this last week, how excited
- 13:41Speaker 2: we are for, the Copan Hornets season this year. We've
- 13:46Speaker 2: seen it the last several years. They've been building it up.
- 13:49Speaker 2: And now they've got, you know, 25 kids or whatever
- 13:51Speaker 2: they've got now. And they're getting some playing time.
- 13:54Speaker 3: And you know what?
- 13:54Speaker 2: These kids are going to get more playing time throughout
- 13:56Speaker 2: the season because I think they're going to flog on
- 13:58Speaker 2: some people. And also, I'm sure they're not able to
- 14:02Speaker 2: play many junior high games or JV games, I guess,
- 14:05Speaker 2: that probably would be, or ninth grade games just themselves.
- 14:08Speaker 2: So like you said, Nighthawk, the experience they're going to
- 14:11Speaker 2: get on Friday night is going to be crucial. And
- 14:14Speaker 2: that's where the run rule kind of hurts some of
- 14:18Speaker 2: these teams. I think they need to revisit that rule.
- 14:22Speaker 2: I think they probably need to go back and do
- 14:24Speaker 2: it like youth football. Let's shut the scoreboard off or
- 14:26Speaker 2: something like that. Let's do something because these younger kids
- 14:32Speaker 2: aren't getting to play like they used to. They have
- 14:35Speaker 2: a JV game. They had enough kids where they have
- 14:37Speaker 2: a JV game. They don't have that no more. They
- 14:40Speaker 2: don't have enough kids to play JV. So when do
- 14:42Speaker 2: those kids get a play? Well, if you shut the–
- 14:46Speaker 2: if they quit at halftime, they're not getting a play
- 14:48Speaker 2: at all.
- 14:49Speaker 5: Makes sense what you're saying.
- 14:50Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember three or four years ago with Westland
- 14:52Speaker 4: when Coach Cloud had that really good offensive team.
- 14:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:56Speaker 4: We tried to go to the game. It was like
- 14:57Speaker 4: 45 minutes. And they're packing up and leaving.
- 14:59Speaker 2: No, they were packing up.
- 15:00Speaker 4: It was dark. It was gone.
- 15:01Speaker 3: I know.
- 15:03Speaker 2: So they need to revisit that rule. I mean, sure,
- 15:05Speaker 2: there's– they can– Do some other things, you know, shut
- 15:08Speaker 2: the scoreboard off or whatever.
- 15:09Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. You know, there's not as many JV
- 15:11Speaker 4: games as what there used to be, and I understand it.
- 15:13Speaker 4: You know, you don't want to travel two and a half,
- 15:15Speaker 4: three and a half hours from a financial decision, you know,
- 15:18Speaker 4: for JVs. It's just like Barzil, you know, played JV
- 15:22Speaker 4: versus Stillwater, I think, you know, the last couple days ago.
- 15:27Speaker 4: It's just, you know, that whole JV thing, it used
- 15:29Speaker 4: to be the JV, you played the JVs.
- 15:32Speaker 2: That That you played on Friday night.
- 15:33Speaker 4: That you played on Friday night. And it was non-negotiable
- 15:35Speaker 4: that if you had to drive to Enid for a
- 15:37Speaker 4: JV game or Muskogee, you had to go. But now
- 15:40Speaker 4: I think there's an understanding amongst coaches that they're making
- 15:42Speaker 4: their own schedules.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
- 15:44Speaker 4: There is.
- 15:45Speaker 2: And a lot of that has to do, especially with
- 15:47Speaker 2: the lower classes, with the not having enough kids.
- 15:51Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 15:51Speaker 2: You know, they can't play. You know, Dewey didn't have
- 15:53Speaker 2: enough kids. Or Pawhuska, one of them, I don't know.
- 15:56Speaker 2: They didn't get to play this week. I saw that.
- 15:58Speaker 2: You know, one of them, I don't know which one.
- 16:00Speaker 2: But they didn't get to play. So that varsity time
- 16:02Speaker 2: is going to be crucial for some of these younger kids.
- 16:04Speaker 2: You know, the reality of it is, guys, it's a game,
- 16:07Speaker 2: and a kid goes out and practices so he can play. Yeah.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Whether it's on a Friday night, a Monday night, a
- 16:12Speaker 2: Tuesday night, who cares? They need to play.
- 16:15Speaker 5: And I'll tell you one other thing that has changed
- 16:18Speaker 5: since we played. We had sophomore games.
- 16:21Speaker 4: Sophomore schedule.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:23Speaker 5: We had a sophomore schedule.
- 16:24Speaker 2: You guys had 120 kids out, so it's a big difference.
- 16:27Speaker 2: But I'll get back to this. Taking the Copan Hornets.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Once again, they're going to have a great season. Crossover Prep.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Is that in UConn?
- 16:34Speaker 3: Broken Arrow.
- 16:35Speaker 4: Okay.
- 16:36Speaker 2: There's so many of those, I don't even know what
- 16:39Speaker 2: they are. Hey, maybe we ought to start our own
- 16:41Speaker 2: private school. Oh, gosh.
- 16:43Speaker 4: What would we name it?
- 16:44Speaker 5: Oh, gosh.
- 16:45Speaker 4: Not even name it. What would the mascot be?
- 16:47Speaker 2: The Nighthawks.
- 16:49Speaker 4: Oh.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Nah, the Nighthawks. I don't think we can do that.
- 16:52Speaker 3: We've got an audience in here to laugh at.
- 16:55Speaker 4: No, we wouldn't.
- 16:58Speaker 5: Can I say one more cool thing? that I thought
- 17:00Speaker 5: you guys would both mention, two defensive scores.
- 17:03Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 17:04Speaker 5: That's awesome.
- 17:05Speaker 4: That is. That is.
- 17:06Speaker 3: All right, next ball game, Barnes-Dawes at Allen. Panthers 1-0,
- 17:09Speaker 3: 27-6 win at Caney Valley. That was our game of
- 17:13Speaker 3: the week on KYFM and K1TV Friday night. Gavin Wood
- 17:17Speaker 3: found Dayton Perkins for the first Panther score, led 14-0
- 17:20Speaker 3: at half. Barnsdall looking to get 2-0 for the eighth
- 17:24Speaker 3: time in the past ten years. Allen Mustangs were 9-4
- 17:29Speaker 3: last year. They lost to Hominy in the third round
- 17:31Speaker 3: of the Class A playoffs. Mustangs have been in the
- 17:34Speaker 3: playoffs more often than not four of the last six years.
- 17:37Speaker 3: Barnsdall is on the road at Allen.
- 17:40Speaker 2: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's talk about their game last week. Yeah,
- 17:44Speaker 2: let's do that.
- 17:44Speaker 5: We just can't slide over that.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Let's do just that. This might be the best thing
- 17:48Speaker 2: that I have heard all season. You skipped the best
- 17:51Speaker 2: note of all, Evan.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Well, you guys spent so much time talking about Copan,
- 17:55Speaker 3: I didn't know if we had time or not.
- 17:56Speaker 2: No, please. Yes, we got all the time. We got
- 17:58Speaker 2: all the time. This is number one.
- 17:59Speaker 3: Are you kidding?
- 18:00Speaker 2: The listeners are begging for more. They want a second hour.
- 18:03Speaker 2: I'll preface this by saying I'm watching an interview with
- 18:06Speaker 2: Coach Sweeney or something. I can't remember. I was watching
- 18:10Speaker 2: something with Coach Sweeney, and he said, this was the
- 18:13Speaker 2: oddest game I've ever coached in my life.
- 18:16Speaker 4: Yeah. And he's been doing that a while.
- 18:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:19Speaker 4: This is odd.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Playing a half field. Like, holy cow. So, Evan, tell
- 18:25Speaker 2: us the story.
- 18:25Speaker 3: So, the lights went out on one half of the field,
- 18:28Speaker 3: and I guess it was bad enough that when they
- 18:30Speaker 3: crossed the 50, when the play would cross the 50–
- 18:34Speaker 3: They would just turn around and place the ball at
- 18:36Speaker 3: that yard marker on the lit side of the field.
- 18:38Speaker 2: That's outstanding.
- 18:40Speaker 4: You know, if we were really advanced here, we would
- 18:43Speaker 4: have the Netflix documentary, you know, the sound, and then
- 18:47Speaker 4: have Evan sitting down for the night. The lights went
- 18:51Speaker 4: out on the field.
- 18:51Speaker 3: The guy who did the ball game for us, Chase,
- 18:54Speaker 3: whose morning's on KYFM, his headline was, No, Barnsdale wins
- 18:59Speaker 3: half-lit opener.
- 19:02Speaker 2: Half-lit.
- 19:05Speaker 4: So they literally would go to the 50. And if
- 19:09Speaker 4: they ran it in, you just wouldn't know.
- 19:12Speaker 3: They just put up with it. Until the end of
- 19:16Speaker 3: that play, when the end of that play was over,
- 19:18Speaker 3: they'd just place it at the end.
- 19:19Speaker 5: But let's say they had a really long play down
- 19:21Speaker 5: to the 20. They would have to all walk all
- 19:24Speaker 5: the way to the other end.
- 19:25Speaker 3: To the 20.
- 19:26Speaker 4: That's exactly right. You've got to love high school football.
- 19:28Speaker 4: You do. You just have to love it.
- 19:31Speaker 3: Geez.
- 19:32Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:33Speaker 5: Well, this game. I got to be honest, was closer,
- 19:36Speaker 5: I think, than most of us thought it would be.
- 19:40Speaker 5: Caney Valley, we're going to talk about them next, but
- 19:44Speaker 5: maybe there's something there, Nighthawk. You've been saying the program
- 19:47Speaker 5: that they're building down there is on its way. but
- 19:50Speaker 5: good for Barnstall to get that first win. Again, I
- 19:54Speaker 5: don't know much about the Allen Mustangs. I think Nighthawk
- 19:58Speaker 5: probably has some notes on them. They seem pretty good.
- 20:02Speaker 5: I'm going to take the fighting stashes, but my guess
- 20:05Speaker 5: is that this one will be a scrappy match, and
- 20:10Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Yeah, Allen, if you remember last year, got beat in
- 20:15Speaker 4: the third round versus Hominy. Last year in the playoffs,
- 20:19Speaker 4: they've got a bunch of those kids back. Barnsdale's going
- 20:23Speaker 4: to be on the road. I'm not ready to evaluate Barnsdale,
- 20:28Speaker 4: but that game was closer than what I thought it
- 20:31Speaker 4: was going to be last week, even with the light situation.
- 20:34Speaker 4: But I think Allen's a pretty darn good team. You know,
- 20:37Speaker 4: like I said, they are returning most of their key
- 20:40Speaker 4: people from last year, 9 and 14. So I've got
- 20:43Speaker 4: to go Allen this week because Barnstall's going to be
- 20:45Speaker 4: on the road. Yeah, this is a big early test
- 20:48Speaker 4: for the Panthers this week. Like I said, they do
- 20:51Speaker 4: got– Allen does have a lot of those kids back.
- 20:54Speaker 4: Barnstall does have, you know, several of their skill players
- 20:57Speaker 4: back as well. And, you know, Hominy just didn't beat
- 20:59Speaker 4: the dog out of Barnstall last year either. So, you
- 21:02Speaker 4: know– On the road at Allen, that is going to
- 21:04Speaker 4: be tough, and it's going to be a big test
- 21:05Speaker 4: for the Panthers. I'm going to go with you, Nighthawk,
- 21:09Speaker 4: and I'm going to tell you, I hope this game is,
- 21:12Speaker 4: I hope they win. Sure.
- 21:13Speaker 2: But I hope it's close. If it is close, that's
- 21:16Speaker 2: a semi-victory for them. Yeah, yeah.
- 21:19Speaker 3: All right, next ballgame, Caney Valley is at Showtoe. Trojans 0-1.
- 21:23Speaker 3: Talked about the 26-7 loss to Barnsdall. Last week, their
- 21:27Speaker 3: one touchdown was an Ivan Ramon Riviera rushing TD. Trojans
- 21:32Speaker 3: still looking for their first non-JV victory. September the 9th
- 21:36Speaker 3: of 2022, so we're nearing four years now. Choteau Mazie
- 21:41Speaker 3: having their season opener. Wildcats were 1-9 last year. Their
- 21:44Speaker 3: only win was over Warner. In fact, Choteau Mazie 1-9
- 21:47Speaker 3: in back-to-back seasons. Caney Valley at Choteau. Game two.
- 21:52Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not even going to hesitate to take Caney
- 21:55Speaker 5: Valley here. My only worry is that it's on the road,
- 21:59Speaker 5: but I really love that they're playing against a Chateau
- 22:02Speaker 5: Macy team that went 1-9 last year. I would just
- 22:06Speaker 5: freaking love for Caney Valley to go on the road
- 22:08Speaker 5: and get an early season victory. I think that would
- 22:11Speaker 5: do a ton for them and their kids. So I'm
- 22:14Speaker 5: taking them. I got Caney Valley.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Under the bright lights.
- 22:17Speaker 5: Under the regular lights. And I think, yeah, guys, listen.
- 22:21Speaker 5: Give it a regularly lit field. Who knows what Candy
- 22:25Speaker 5: Valley is capable of?
- 22:26Speaker 2: Exactly. Okay?
- 22:27Speaker 4: They went 4-14 last week.
- 22:30Speaker 2: I'm going to take the Trojans as well.
- 22:31Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 22:32Speaker 4: Candy Valley, I think, is– I'm excited for this game
- 22:37Speaker 4: with them. And I think on the road, you know,
- 22:39Speaker 4: at the end of the day, what that's going to
- 22:40Speaker 4: be about an hour, 15 minutes, hour and a half
- 22:44Speaker 4: for them. Yeah, you know, these road trips aren't as
- 22:49Speaker 4: bad when it's in that hour, hour 15. Ideally, you
- 22:52Speaker 4: like playing at home. But also remember the kids, you know,
- 22:56Speaker 4: and Coach, you can probably attest to this. The kids
- 22:58Speaker 4: actually have fun on these road trips a little bit.
- 23:01Speaker 4: I mean, they're with their buddies for an hour. I mean,
- 23:03Speaker 4: I hate the jacking around that happens on the buses.
- 23:07Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, I think Caney
- 23:08Speaker 4: Valley is going to go on the road this week,
- 23:10Speaker 4: and they're going to beat them.
- 23:11Speaker 2: And it depends if that bus is air-conditioned or not.
- 23:14Speaker 3: That's a fact.
- 23:14Speaker 2: We didn't have that. Imagine 106 riding in the yellow dog.
- 23:19Speaker 5: Well, you grew up in the 19s.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Suck.
- 23:22Speaker 6: Suck.
- 23:24Speaker 2: All right.
- 23:25Speaker 3: Next ball game, Pawhuska is on the road at Stroud.
- 23:28Speaker 3: That's our first game we'll have on the radio for
- 23:31Speaker 3: you on Sports Talk 99.1 FM, KPGM Video Coverage, KPGMTV.com.
- 23:38Speaker 3: Huskies beat Fairland last week to get to 1-0, 40-7.
- 23:42Speaker 3: Owls actually led 7-0 early on after a Huskies special
- 23:47Speaker 3: teams miscue, but then Bahuska came alive. It was 18-7.
- 23:50Speaker 3: But Husk at halftime. Stroud pretty good. 11-2 last year.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Lost in the 2-8-2 semis to 8-air by two points.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Stroud is 43-9 over the last four years. Tigers have
- 24:03Speaker 3: won four straight district championships. How about them going 28-0
- 24:06Speaker 3: in district play during that span? John Presley entering his
- 24:10Speaker 3: seventh season. But Husk, last time they played Stroud was
- 24:14Speaker 3: in the 2019 Class A playoffs. Huskies won that one.
- 24:17Speaker 3: Beat them 34-26. before they went on to lose to
- 24:21Speaker 3: Ringling in the quarterfinals next week. Bahuska at Stroud on
- 24:25Speaker 3: KPGM and KPGMTV.com.
- 24:28Speaker 5: Evan, do you have an OSU pep rally today?
- 24:32Speaker 2: What is happening, Robby?
- 24:33Speaker 4: Is OSU playing today?
- 24:36Speaker 5: I took a selfie, and I'm going to post it,
- 24:38Speaker 5: but I hope I got all that in there.
- 24:40Speaker 2: What?
- 24:40Speaker 3: I'm just wearing my usual first game of the year,
- 24:44Speaker 3: so I'm just wearing my OSU stuff.
- 24:46Speaker 2: Are you going to do it all week?
- 24:47Speaker 3: I've done it, yes, day three already. Friday I'll wear bronze.
- 24:51Speaker 4: I'm a Tulsa guy. I'm not wearing my blue and
- 24:53Speaker 4: gold this week.
- 24:54Speaker 5: That's great, Evan. Wow. I just hope the listeners can
- 24:57Speaker 5: get a look at that.
- 24:58Speaker 2: All right.
- 25:00Speaker 5: Stroud is really good. They've got a really good program,
- 25:04Speaker 5: and they just seem to roll through district play. I
- 25:07Speaker 5: didn't know about that 28. No, that's impressive. And they've
- 25:12Speaker 5: got them ranked seventh in– Class 2A is going to
- 25:17Speaker 5: be a tough road trip for the Huskies. Good to
- 25:22Speaker 5: get that first home win at the beach. I'm not
- 25:26Speaker 5: going to take them this week. I think they're going
- 25:28Speaker 5: to drop this one just because Stroud is so good.
- 25:32Speaker 5: But I don't think that will do anything for Pawhuska
- 25:36Speaker 5: to continue to kind of roll after this. So I'm
- 25:40Speaker 5: going to pick Stroud this week, which I hate doing,
- 25:44Speaker 5: but they're just really good.
- 25:46Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks a lot, Coach Hennessey. I hope he wasn't
- 25:50Speaker 2: the one who scheduled this, but.
- 25:51Speaker 4: I think he probably did.
- 25:52Speaker 2: Probably was. Jeez, Coach Hennessey, really? Strout, come on now.
- 25:57Speaker 2: They're way good. Strout is good. Strout's a good football team.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Strout's facilities are incredible. Everything in that, the school facilities
- 26:05Speaker 2: is brand new. And it's way nice. And that's carried
- 26:09Speaker 2: over to the field. And they're really good guys. And
- 26:12Speaker 2: I think they've got a shot to win it. Now
- 26:14Speaker 2: I know they've got a bunch of kids back. They've
- 26:16Speaker 2: got their cue back, and they're going to be really good.
- 26:19Speaker 2: This is a huge challenge for Husker to go there,
- 26:23Speaker 2: and unfortunately I'm going to have to take the Stroud Tigers.
- 26:27Speaker 4: Yeah, talk a little bit about last week. Those same
- 26:30Speaker 4: names that's been coming up. Van Wildcat, shocker, led the
- 26:34Speaker 4: team in tackles with 12 tackles, but then Dane Jensen,
- 26:38Speaker 4: four sacks, three quarterback hurries. Now on the other side
- 26:41Speaker 4: of Stroud is really good. and their backfield goes, I think, 6'2, 10, 6'3, 215.
- 26:48Speaker 4: Both those guys also play linebacker form. So I don't
- 26:52Speaker 4: think Stroud is going to put the ball in the
- 26:55Speaker 4: air a lot. Don't know their offense, but I would
- 26:57Speaker 4: assume that they're going to be with those type of kids.
- 27:00Speaker 4: I mean, those are 6'8, 1, 6'8, 2, kids. I mean,
- 27:03Speaker 4: to be honest with you, size-wise.
- 27:04Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 27:06Speaker 4: This is going to be a really, really, could be
- 27:08Speaker 4: a statement game for Pawhuska. So that's the positive side.
- 27:12Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a little bit closer.
- 27:13Speaker 4: I think Pawhuska at the end of the day is
- 27:15Speaker 4: going to go in there. They're going to give them
- 27:17Speaker 4: everything they want for sure, but I think it's going
- 27:19Speaker 4: to be a closer game, maybe 7 to 14 points.
- 27:22Speaker 4: I think if Pawhuska can keep that within 14 points
- 27:25Speaker 4: and everyone come out healthy, I know that coach is
- 27:28Speaker 4: going to go over there to win the game. But gosh,
- 27:32Speaker 4: that's going to be a tough one. I'm picking Stroud
- 27:34Speaker 4: as well.
- 27:35Speaker 3: All right, next ball game, Dewey and Newkirk on KRIG 104.9, krigtv.com.
- 27:42Speaker 3: Bulldoggers 0-1, lost to Veneta 26-6 last week. Game really
- 27:47Speaker 3: wasn't as lopsided as it looked. Dewey was down six,
- 27:50Speaker 3: or sorry, Dewey was tied at six at halftime. They
- 27:53Speaker 3: trailed 12-6 into the fourth quarter. Got outscored, though, 14-0
- 27:57Speaker 3: in the fourth. A lone touchdown for Dewey, a 47-yard
- 28:01Speaker 3: strike from Braxton Braden to Marshall McDaniel that was right
- 28:04Speaker 3: after he Vanita fumbled near midfield. Dewey now just 2-4,
- 28:08Speaker 3: last six season openers. Newkirk coming off a 3-7 campaign
- 28:12Speaker 3: last year. They are 1-0, though, beat Blackwell 26-0 during
- 28:17Speaker 3: their zero-week contest. Mike Kirtle is in his second year.
- 28:22Speaker 3: Tigers return experience on the offensive line and secondary. Kirtle
- 28:27Speaker 3: spent 21 years at Tonkoa, and his Tonkoa team's won
- 28:31Speaker 3: state titles in 05, 09, and 2018. and was state
- 28:35Speaker 3: runner-up in 03 and 04, and I believe he was
- 28:38Speaker 3: let go at Tonkoa after 21 years. Yeah, and now
- 28:42Speaker 3: he's in his second season in Newkirk.
- 28:46Speaker 4: Wow.
- 28:47Speaker 3: Well, we'll give a little– I assume you know his
- 28:49Speaker 3: name or know him?
- 28:50Speaker 2: I do not.
- 28:50Speaker 4: Oh, you don't?
- 28:51Speaker 2: No.
- 28:51Speaker 5: Yeah, he was– I mean, he was a powerhouse at
- 28:55Speaker 5: Tonkoa forever.
- 28:56Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:59Speaker 5: Little shout-out to our buddy Scott Bilger here, Newkirk. What's
- 29:02Speaker 5: their mascot?
- 29:03Speaker 2: Tigers. Okay, the Newkirk Tigers. Blue and yellow. All right.
- 29:08Speaker 5: Gosh dang it, we were 0-3 on our Dewey pick.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:13Speaker 4: And I hate that.
- 29:14Speaker 5: I really thought Dewey would go up there to Vanita
- 29:17Speaker 5: and win that game. Vanita was going to be down
- 29:19Speaker 5: and all that. I've still got faith in the Bulldoggers here.
- 29:23Speaker 5: And I know this game will be tough, and I'm
- 29:27Speaker 5: probably taking them with my heart. But I want so
- 29:31Speaker 5: badly for Dewey to get over that hump. And this
- 29:35Speaker 5: could be a really good opportunity for them to get
- 29:38Speaker 5: a much needed win. Newkirk looks loaded. It's probably a
- 29:44Speaker 5: stupid pick, but I'm taking the Bulldoggers.
- 29:48Speaker 4: Yeah, we all believe in the Dewey program, especially Coach Sepulveda.
- 29:51Speaker 4: I think he's just a great coach. Did a great
- 29:53Speaker 4: job last year. As a coach, you darn sure don't
- 29:56Speaker 4: want to start the season 0-2. especially if you feel
- 30:00Speaker 4: like maybe you let one slip out with that loss
- 30:04Speaker 4: last week at Bonita. Of course, we'll see how good
- 30:07Speaker 4: Bonita is over the next couple weeks. But, yeah, this
- 30:10Speaker 4: is going to be tough for Dewey. I think it's
- 30:13Speaker 4: no doubt Coach Sepulveda is going to have those kids
- 30:16Speaker 4: ready to play, but I think at the end of
- 30:18Speaker 4: the day it's going to be too big of a
- 30:19Speaker 4: task for him, and I've got to go new Kirk
- 30:23Speaker 4: on this one.
- 30:25Speaker 2: Well, last week, you know, the Bulldogs, they battled. I
- 30:29Speaker 2: watched that game, and you guys probably watched it as well.
- 30:31Speaker 2: It was 6-6, I think, until the middle of the
- 30:33Speaker 2: third quarter or something like that. Maybe the start of
- 30:36Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. No, it was third quarter because Vanita scored. Yeah,
- 30:40Speaker 2: it was 12-6 at the start of the fourth quarter.
- 30:42Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 30:43Speaker 2: And they battled, and then they kind of let the
- 30:45Speaker 2: fourth quarter get away from them. Part of that was
- 30:48Speaker 2: because they lost their running back, Case Rogers. I think
- 30:51Speaker 2: he might be out for a year. Oh, no, really? Yeah,
- 30:53Speaker 2: and he's a sophomore. The kid can play. He's good,
- 30:57Speaker 2: and He's hurt his leg. Don't know if they're going
- 30:59Speaker 2: to get him back this year or not. I don't know.
- 31:02Speaker 2: And then they lost another kid, a Spears kid. I
- 31:05Speaker 2: think he plays linebacker for them. He's a good player.
- 31:08Speaker 2: I think he got a concussion or something. I don't
- 31:11Speaker 2: know if he's playing this week or not. But hopefully
- 31:15Speaker 2: he's fine and can come back and play because they're
- 31:17Speaker 2: going to need him. Bulldogs numbers are okay. Where they
- 31:22Speaker 2: are struggling is their O-line. And it's not– I'm not
- 31:27Speaker 2: saying their O-line is struggling. I'm saying the numbers for
- 31:31Speaker 2: the O-line is, like, way down.
- 31:34Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 31:34Speaker 2: I mean, under 10 guys. And it's tough to go
- 31:38Speaker 2: in a season, you know, with not very many O-linemen
- 31:42Speaker 2: like that. It's hard to practice, to be honest with you.
- 31:46Speaker 2: But anyways, they battled with Bonita, you know, lost 100 bucks.
- 31:50Speaker 2: I was on a trip with a bunch of Bonita
- 31:52Speaker 2: guys and had to hear it, so that wasn't a
- 31:54Speaker 2: lot of fun at all, all weekend. And so old
- 31:58Speaker 2: guys that I played against as well. And so that
- 32:01Speaker 2: was even worse. Playing Newkirk, guys, obviously we know this
- 32:05Speaker 2: program's getting ready to turn around real quick, which it
- 32:07Speaker 2: hadn't been all that many years ago. I think Newkirk
- 32:11Speaker 2: won the state championship. And maybe, geez, Evan, will you
- 32:15Speaker 2: look that up? Sure. In fact, check that. I want
- 32:17Speaker 2: to say it's like in 2010 maybe. They won it.
- 32:23Speaker 2: And they have been a very good program. And so
- 32:28Speaker 2: Bulldogs got a challenge on the road. Is it a
- 32:30Speaker 2: winnable game? Yes, it is a winnable game. You know,
- 32:32Speaker 2: I think they can, if they can out-skill people and
- 32:36Speaker 2: just outrun people because they got a couple receivers that
- 32:38Speaker 2: can play. They got a quarterback that can throw it around.
- 32:41Speaker 2: You know, the Braden kid, he's good. He's good. He
- 32:45Speaker 2: is good. And so if they can just protect him,
- 32:47Speaker 2: that's the key. Just keep him, you know, in the pocket,
- 32:51Speaker 2: keep him protected, let him throw the ball a little bit,
- 32:53Speaker 2: give him a little time, and get it to Marshall McDaniel.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Watch McDaniel. Guys, he's 6'1, 6'2. He can run. He's
- 32:58Speaker 2: a good-looking kid. And I know that kid. He's tough
- 33:00Speaker 2: as nails. So I'm going to take the Bulldoggers on
- 33:03Speaker 2: the road right here, and hopefully they can get there
- 33:09Speaker 2: and come out healthy with this win.
- 33:12Speaker 4: I love it.
- 33:12Speaker 3: You won a Newkirk State Championship?
- 33:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 33:15Speaker 3: 86 is the last time. Billger.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Scott Billger.
- 33:19Speaker 3: That's right.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Did they play for it or anything?
- 33:22Speaker 3: Yeah, they've done– they've had a few. They were– the
- 33:26Speaker 3: last time that they were in the semis in 98,
- 33:29Speaker 3: lost to Chimingo, quarters in 99. And other than that,
- 33:33Speaker 3: their last playoff win was in 1999.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Geez, I thought they had won it at one time.
- 33:37Speaker 5: You guys just missed my old buddy Jared Patton missing
- 33:39Speaker 5: kicking for chicken.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Is that right?
- 33:42Speaker 3: Yep, we had it.
- 33:43Speaker 4: Yeah, he went for a toe kick.
- 33:44Speaker 5: Yeah, and he was wearing Hey Dudes.
- 33:48Speaker 4: Ref, could you make that kick?
- 33:50Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, absolutely. I could kick. No, I couldn't throw
- 33:52Speaker 2: the ball. Really? I couldn't throw the ball and hit
- 33:54Speaker 2: that wall.
- 33:55Speaker 5: I don't know that I could make that kick.
- 33:57Speaker 4: Well, I can already say. Yeah, I couldn't make it.
- 33:59Speaker 4: There's no way.
- 34:00Speaker 2: No way. Absolutely.
- 34:01Speaker 3: Yeah, me either. All right, let's go to the next ballgame.
- 34:04Speaker 3: Nowata is on the road at Warner. Nowata did not
- 34:08Speaker 3: play last week. Ironman had a half game against Wyandotte,
- 34:11Speaker 3: and Katusa won it. Won 19-0. Nice little bounce back
- 34:15Speaker 3: after they had fallen to Dewey. Pretty good. the week
- 34:19Speaker 3: prior in his scrimmage. Nowata under head coach Scott Martin,
- 34:22Speaker 3: previously was the offensive line coach at Northwestern Oklahoma State
- 34:25Speaker 3: in Alva. He has been the head coach at eight
- 34:28Speaker 3: other high school football spots in the state of Oklahoma.
- 34:31Speaker 3: He's had a call court. Nowata coming off a 2-8
- 34:34Speaker 3: season last year. Ironman got wins over Caney Valley and
- 34:37Speaker 3: Oklahoma Union. Warner was 1-9 last year. Their only win
- 34:41Speaker 3: was against Nowata.
- 34:42Speaker 4: Week 1, 29-8 win.
- 34:44Speaker 3: Warner also beat Nowata 32-28 in 2024. So third straight
- 34:49Speaker 3: year they've played Warner 2-0 against Nowata in those previous
- 34:54Speaker 3: two matchups. Nowata at Warner on Friday night.
- 34:57Speaker 5: Ironman, telling you right now.
- 35:00Speaker 4: You're just like that.
- 35:02Speaker 5: Right out of the gate. I don't know much about
- 35:07Speaker 5: Scott Martin, but my guess is coming from a collegiate
- 35:10Speaker 5: program that he's Got some things going over there that
- 35:13Speaker 5: we're going to like seeing. And, hey, by the way,
- 35:17Speaker 5: you know the Alva mascot?
- 35:19Speaker 2: Alva Goldbugs?
- 35:20Speaker 4: That's right.
- 35:21Speaker 5: God, I don't think we can trick him.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Yeah, you can.
- 35:24Speaker 4: I think we can.
- 35:24Speaker 5: What about Northwestern Oklahoma State?
- 35:26Speaker 2: Ride Rangers ride. That's right.
- 35:28Speaker 4: That is true.
- 35:29Speaker 2: TD.
- 35:31Speaker 5: Okay, well, yeah, I like the Ironman here. Again, I'm
- 35:35Speaker 5: rooting for all these guys. in their openers to get
- 35:39Speaker 5: a big kind of season-trending win. And so, yeah, I'm
- 35:45Speaker 5: taking them.
- 35:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going to agree with you, Batch. I like
- 35:49Speaker 4: that they've had two half-game scrimmages. Obviously, the one a
- 35:55Speaker 4: couple weeks ago that was up in Dewey, then also
- 35:57Speaker 4: last week they played a half-game at Catoosa, which they
- 36:02Speaker 4: ended up winning 19-0.
- 36:03Speaker 5: Wyandotte.
- 36:06Speaker 4: Don't know what they have this year, but at the
- 36:08Speaker 4: end of the day, Wyandotte has usually been pretty good.
- 36:09Speaker 4: So for them to go get 19 points and a half,
- 36:14Speaker 4: no audit is going to be ready. And I think
- 36:16Speaker 4: I'm going to go Ironman here.
- 36:19Speaker 3: Oh, geez.
- 36:22Speaker 2: Well, I watched the Ironman scrimmage Dewey and they didn't
- 36:32Speaker 2: look very good at all. There were times they showed
- 36:35Speaker 2: some good things and then other times you're just like
- 36:39Speaker 2: this is this is the no water that we've seen
- 36:42Speaker 2: the last couple years and but i heard yesterday that
- 36:48Speaker 2: they got bartlesville's running back from last year and he's
- 36:51Speaker 2: eligible to play this week at no water yeah really
- 36:55Speaker 2: yeah and that kid he's pretty good oh yeah he's
- 36:57Speaker 2: from no water he is yeah he went back there
- 37:00Speaker 2: that's right back there So that's a difference maker, and
- 37:03Speaker 2: it's a difference maker for me making this pick right here.
- 37:06Speaker 5: For sure.
- 37:06Speaker 2: Because I would, if he wasn't playing, I would take Warner.
- 37:10Speaker 2: But since he's playing, he's pretty good, and he's a
- 37:12Speaker 2: difference maker for him, especially after I watched him. And
- 37:16Speaker 2: I'm going to take the Ironman right here.
- 37:19Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a good running back. Obviously, we've seen him
- 37:21Speaker 4: the last couple years. I mean, he's only a junior now,
- 37:24Speaker 4: and obviously he didn't play that first week at Dewey.
- 37:27Speaker 4: But I guarantee he played last week for the 19 points.
- 37:30Speaker 4: You're exactly right. The kid can run. Yep.
- 37:34Speaker 2: So good. Go win, Nowata.
- 37:36Speaker 5: I think he's the only player I've ever seen leave
- 37:38Speaker 5: in an ambulance and play in the game the next week.
- 37:42Speaker 2: And aren't we happy that doing Nowata scrimmaged? At least
- 37:45Speaker 2: they did something. You can't play. By gosh, we can scrimmage.
- 37:47Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 37:48Speaker 2: Play in every other sport.
- 37:49Speaker 3: Right.
- 37:50Speaker 2: Let's just take baby steps, I guess. The word is
- 37:53Speaker 2: they're going to play again.
- 37:54Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm surprised you guys aren't talking about that a
- 37:56Speaker 4: little bit more.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Well, we've worn it out.
- 37:58Speaker 3: They supposedly were going to play, and there was a
- 38:01Speaker 3: coaching change in Nowata, and I guess they didn't get
- 38:03Speaker 3: passed along to the, I guess.
- 38:06Speaker 2: It was something like that.
- 38:07Speaker 3: That's what I've heard.
- 38:08Speaker 2: I've heard a million different stories.
- 38:09Speaker 3: That's the unofficial story. And I think Dewey was thinking
- 38:13Speaker 3: they were going to play until pretty late in the
- 38:15Speaker 3: process because they had had kind of a handshake agreement,
- 38:18Speaker 3: and then they went to Nowata's new staff, and they said,
- 38:20Speaker 3: I didn't know. It's like they didn't know. They never
- 38:23Speaker 3: heard of Dewey, I guess.
- 38:24Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 38:25Speaker 3: Anyway, again, ball games on the radio there. Bahaska, KPGM, KPGMTV.com.
- 38:31Speaker 3: It's Stroud, Dewey, Newkirk, KRIG 104.9, KRIGTV.com. Bartlesville on the
- 38:36Speaker 3: road at Claremore. Bruins looking to snap an 11-game losing
- 38:41Speaker 3: skid to 5A opponents and looking to snap a 3-game
- 38:45Speaker 3: losing skid Declaremore, Zebras are 0-1. They lost 20-14 on
- 38:51Speaker 3: the road at 4A Sallisaw last week. Bartlesville 1-0, a
- 38:56Speaker 3: 45-14 win over Skyatook. Believe it or not, if the
- 39:00Speaker 3: Bruins can win this ballgame, this would be the first
- 39:02Speaker 3: time Bartlesville has been 2-0 since that 2015 season where
- 39:06Speaker 3: the Bruins went to the 6-8-2 state semifinals. Bartlesville, 45-14
- 39:11Speaker 3: over Sky. It took last week. Michael Kent, 21 of 30, 332,
- 39:16Speaker 3: three touchdowns, no picks. Bartlesville, 110 yards rushing, 64 and
- 39:21Speaker 3: 12 carries from Wyatt Mathis. And then probably the main
- 39:25Speaker 3: two highlights, eight receptions, 210 yards, three touchdowns, for Price
- 39:30Speaker 3: Lusk in his Bruin debut and Macy Allman three for
- 39:33Speaker 3: three on field goal attempts one from 26 the other
- 39:37Speaker 3: two within 20 yards Bartlesville on the road at Claremore
- 39:41Speaker 3: guys can we spend on k1 and k1 tv.com.
- 39:44Speaker 5: Sorry to interrupt Can we spend a few minutes talking
- 39:48Speaker 5: about the season opener before we head to picking this matchup?
- 39:55Speaker 5: So we talked going into the show last week about
- 40:00Speaker 5: some of the things that Coach Hennessey is doing with
- 40:05Speaker 5: this program and things we see that are different and
- 40:08Speaker 5: things we've seen that have impressed us. And just kind
- 40:13Speaker 5: of from little inside baseball, how the sausage is made.
- 40:16Speaker 5: I got to tell you guys something. Everything about that
- 40:20Speaker 5: game last week went exactly how we planned. And I'm
- 40:26Speaker 5: talking about everything from the pregame. If you were to
- 40:30Speaker 5: ask your old buddy, Coach Dillbeck, like we were on
- 40:34Speaker 5: schedule to the minute. I mean, everything was just so
- 40:37Speaker 5: well run. I was impressed with the team, and how
- 40:42Speaker 5: they composed themselves. I loved having them out there for
- 40:47Speaker 5: the National Anthem. That was cool. Thank you to Fast
- 40:51Speaker 5: Track for being over in the hospitality suite. That made
- 40:54Speaker 5: the evening even more fun. It was just a great night.
- 40:59Speaker 5: And on the field, I got to start by saying
- 41:03Speaker 5: I absolutely loved seeing Macy Alleman make those three field goals.
- 41:08Speaker 5: You know, she missed her only attempt in the scrimmage.
- 41:11Speaker 5: And I know that was disheartening for her. And so
- 41:14Speaker 5: to have her come out and make that first one
- 41:16Speaker 5: was awesome. And then she just, she nailed all three.
- 41:20Speaker 2: Uh, I love that kid.
- 41:21Speaker 5: And, um, coach Hennessy loves having her on the team.
- 41:24Speaker 5: She's just, she's great for morale. Great for the, for
- 41:27Speaker 5: the whole rest.
- 41:28Speaker 2: Of the guys.
- 41:29Speaker 5: And anyway, uh, really what I want to talk about
- 41:33Speaker 5: is 11 guys. This kid's hands are unbelievable and he's
- 41:38Speaker 5: got a way, um, of bodying defenders to be able
- 41:42Speaker 5: to make catches that you can't teach. I'm telling you guys,
- 41:46Speaker 5: he's legit. He's a stud.
- 41:48Speaker 3: You're talking about Price Lusk? You got that 11 from
- 41:50Speaker 3: Mike Gundy.
- 41:51Speaker 5: You have to say 11. Just in case someone didn't
- 41:53Speaker 5: know who he was. It seems like a coaching thing.
- 41:55Speaker 5: I'm trying to be one of the guys here.
- 41:56Speaker 3: I think you're trying to be Mike Gundy.
- 41:57Speaker 2: I like it.
- 41:58Speaker 5: So anyway, I loved it. I thought the whole evening
- 42:03Speaker 5: was so fun, and I'm glad for the Bruins to
- 42:06Speaker 5: get that win. I'm obviously taking them at Claremore. But
- 42:10Speaker 5: I will tell you, this is going to be a
- 42:11Speaker 5: tough game. And it's going to be a good test
- 42:15Speaker 5: on the road for the Bruins. But their– Colombo's good,
- 42:19Speaker 5: and their coach is really good.
- 42:22Speaker 2: Yeah. Isn't that funny that he called you Mike Gundy
- 42:24Speaker 2: and he's.
- 42:24Speaker 5: Dressed like that?
- 42:28Speaker 3: I like Mike Gundy.
- 42:29Speaker 2: Obviously you do.
- 42:30Speaker 4: There's a ton of coaches that don't call kids by
- 42:33Speaker 4: their name and it's just number. Coach Smith was number eight.
- 42:37Speaker 4: I'm like, it's Kirby Schoenfaller.
- 42:38Speaker 3: He's quarterback.
- 42:39Speaker 2: Number eight.
- 42:40Speaker 4: Number eight had a good game.
- 42:43Speaker 3: Well, even as a play-by-play, I'm bad with numbers. That's
- 42:45Speaker 3: the only reason why. I have to think of it
- 42:48Speaker 3: other ways.
- 42:50Speaker 5: E-Man George and Price Lusk give Michael Kent the types
- 42:57Speaker 5: of weapons that are exactly what he has needed to
- 43:03Speaker 5: become the quarterback that he's going to become.
- 43:06Speaker 3: I don't have my board in front of me, but
- 43:08Speaker 3: I think that's in addition to, yeah, you mentioned EJ Belisle,
- 43:11Speaker 3: who of course was on the roster. But that's an addition.
- 43:13Speaker 3: I think he had almost 70% of his receptions back
- 43:16Speaker 3: from last year anyway. All those guys. And he had
- 43:19Speaker 3: a pretty good year throwing the football last year. All
- 43:22Speaker 3: those guys are back. The only one, Harrison Ketchum, was
- 43:25Speaker 3: the only one that was a senior. Every single other
- 43:27Speaker 3: guy is back. And, yeah, then you move in.
- 43:29Speaker 4: And then you've got Bowden Roberts.
- 43:30Speaker 2: I know.
- 43:31Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of them.
- 43:32Speaker 2: I mean, you've got four cats that can go get
- 43:34Speaker 2: the ball.
- 43:34Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 43:35Speaker 4: At every different level. That's the difference.
- 43:37Speaker 3: I know.
- 43:38Speaker 4: It's not a difference. It's just a great addition to
- 43:41Speaker 4: have four receivers that you can catch at every level,
- 43:43Speaker 4: meaning whether it's going to be in the flats, quick outs,
- 43:46Speaker 4: over the top. You've got guys that can stretch the field,
- 43:48Speaker 4: that will get those safeties backpedaling, get those corners backpedaling,
- 43:52Speaker 4: and run those under routes.
- 43:53Speaker 5: And Sky Took was spying on Bowdoin Roberts every down.
- 43:57Speaker 5: I mean, they were having to spend so much time
- 44:01Speaker 5: watching him that it opened up stuff. Yeah, it was impressive.
- 44:05Speaker 2: Well, the biggest thing Bartlesville's got is they've got Mason
- 44:09Speaker 2: Fine calling plays.
- 44:10Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 44:11Speaker 2: I mean, the guy knows exactly what he's doing.
- 44:12Speaker 4: Did that surprise anybody what the first play of the
- 44:14Speaker 4: game was going to be?
- 44:15Speaker 3: No.
- 44:15Speaker 2: Zero percent.
- 44:16Speaker 4: I mean, if I'm playing, if I'm the D.C. and
- 44:19Speaker 4: Mason Fine is the offensive coordinator, you better be prepared
- 44:23Speaker 4: for something over the top.
- 44:25Speaker 2: It's coming. You're exactly right. But, hey, just to talk
- 44:28Speaker 2: just a second here about what you first brought up about,
- 44:30Speaker 2: you know, the game and all that stuff. You know,
- 44:33Speaker 2: I touched my daughter and I, we were, going home
- 44:35Speaker 2: last night from volleyball at Tulsa Union, and we were
- 44:40Speaker 2: talking about the pep rally that they had prior to,
- 44:43Speaker 2: and this is the second time she's told me this,
- 44:47Speaker 2: and she was just talking about how fired up everybody was.
- 44:50Speaker 2: She's like, Dad, it's got a different vibe. It's weird.
- 44:53Speaker 2: I'm serious. Because Coach Hennessy gets out there, and he
- 44:56Speaker 2: started off by thanking the band. No one's ever thanked
- 44:59Speaker 2: the band in anything. He thanked the band, and then
- 45:02Speaker 2: he went to the students, and he went to the teachers.
- 45:04Speaker 2: He went through everything before he even talked about the players.
- 45:07Speaker 2: And then she talked all about it. She's way excited, way,
- 45:10Speaker 2: way excited. And so it's– and like you said, it's
- 45:15Speaker 2: a different vibe. It's a different atmosphere Friday night because
- 45:19Speaker 2: Coach Hennessey has done what Coach Hennessey has done all
- 45:22Speaker 2: over the place. You know, Tulsa World just had a
- 45:23Speaker 2: big article about, you know, him turning around programs. But
- 45:26Speaker 2: what he does is he brings schools together.
- 45:29Speaker 4: Brings the whole school together.
- 45:31Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 45:31Speaker 2: Community. He starts with the school and works his way
- 45:34Speaker 2: to the outside, to the community. That's what he does.
- 45:37Speaker 2: And it's not just football. You know, it's baseball and
- 45:40Speaker 2: basketball and band. And then he includes the volleyball team
- 45:46Speaker 2: and all the other girls' sports. Everybody is included. And
- 45:49Speaker 2: that's what it takes to have a successful program. And
- 45:53Speaker 2: successful in athletics or anything that you do in your school.
- 45:57Speaker 2: Everybody has to come together. And she told me, she said, dad,
- 46:00Speaker 2: when we walked down that hall, I asked her last night,
- 46:02Speaker 2: I said, you got any football players in your classes?
- 46:05Speaker 2: She's like, oh, I got one or two. And I
- 46:06Speaker 2: was like, what were they excited after the game? She goes, dad,
- 46:09Speaker 2: you just see.
- 46:09Speaker 4: Them in the hall.
- 46:10Speaker 2: They walk down the hall, they're fired up. They see
- 46:12Speaker 2: the coaches, the coaches high five, and they talk to
- 46:14Speaker 2: each other. That's how it's supposed to be. And that's
- 46:17Speaker 2: why they're going to, going to be successful. Okay. Game
- 46:20Speaker 2: Friday night, unfortunately, I had a PGA qualifier, had to
- 46:23Speaker 2: watch it on my phone. And, uh, So it didn't
- 46:26Speaker 2: go very well watching it on my phone sometimes. But
- 46:29Speaker 2: it's okay.
- 46:30Speaker 4: You were aware, I'm sorry.
- 46:31Speaker 2: I had a PGA qualifier for myself.
- 46:33Speaker 4: Okay, gotcha, gotcha. I thought that's what you said.
- 46:36Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a little one at the miniature golf course.
- 46:44Speaker 5: Well, I'm going to tell you one thing you missed.
- 46:48Speaker 5: That stadium was packed.
- 46:50Speaker 2: That's what my wife said.
- 46:51Speaker 5: There were so many people.
- 46:53Speaker 2: Jennifer said she felt like she had to Uber. To
- 46:56Speaker 2: the stadium.
- 46:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 46:57Speaker 2: I mean, she had to walk so far. It's crazy.
- 46:59Speaker 3: That's awesome.
- 47:00Speaker 2: That is so, so good. Just the excitement. The kids
- 47:04Speaker 2: have got it. Everybody's got it. So, you know, we've
- 47:06Speaker 2: talked about this forever and ever. We talk about it
- 47:09Speaker 2: at Pawhuska. Now we talk about it at Barthel. Now,
- 47:11Speaker 2: you get on the field. What happens when does everything
- 47:13Speaker 2: transpire and transfer over to the field? Not transpire, but
- 47:17Speaker 2: transfer over to the field. Yes, it has. And so
- 47:21Speaker 2: they've got the coaches. Now the kids have bought in. So,
- 47:23Speaker 2: you know, they're going to be pretty good. And so
- 47:26Speaker 2: this week, yeah, they've got a challenge. They're playing Jared Hurts,
- 47:30Speaker 2: Claremore Zebras. You know Jared Hurts?
- 47:32Speaker 3: Great coach.
- 47:33Speaker 2: He's a great coach. First all-state punter in the state
- 47:36Speaker 2: of Oklahoma. You know that?
- 47:37Speaker 6: Oh, really?
- 47:38Speaker 2: He was number one. First one. And Wyandotte Black Bear.
- 47:42Speaker 4: Yep.
- 47:42Speaker 2: And his dad's a Hall of Fame coach.
- 47:44Speaker 5: It's Wyandotte.
- 47:46Speaker 2: That's what I said, Wyandotte.
- 47:47Speaker 4: Even more than the punter out of Barzill in the 50s, Green?
- 47:50Speaker 2: He wasn't an All-State punter.
- 47:52Speaker 4: He was in the NFL for 11 years.
- 47:55Speaker 2: They didn't have All-State punters, bud.
- 47:57Speaker 4: Okay, I'm just– Hey, you don't have to get all
- 47:58Speaker 4: of them.
- 47:59Speaker 5: You know, what he's saying is they never declared one.
- 48:01Speaker 3: Don't butt me, pal. Yeah.
- 48:05Speaker 5: Jeez.
- 48:06Speaker 2: But, you know– A little wound up. I was talking
- 48:09Speaker 2: to Coach Dillbeck, and he watched the Salasaw game, and
- 48:13Speaker 2: he was telling me that if you watch Claremore's Salasaw game,
- 48:17Speaker 2: Claremore just drives the ball up and down the field
- 48:19Speaker 2: on them. They're really big up front, really physical. And
- 48:22Speaker 2: he said they just couldn't get it in the end zone.
- 48:24Speaker 2: It was crazy. So, Bartlesville's going to have to figure
- 48:28Speaker 2: out a way to stop that. And they're going to
- 48:31Speaker 2: have to use their speed on offense to get out
- 48:34Speaker 2: in front of them and keep them on their heels
- 48:37Speaker 2: and keep the ball away from their offense, keep them
- 48:39Speaker 2: from moving down the field. And get rid of the
- 48:42Speaker 2: ball quick. Michael's got to get rid of the ball
- 48:44Speaker 2: quick because their defensive line, they're big, they're fast, they're
- 48:48Speaker 2: pretty good. So, No doubt in my mind that Coach Fine,
- 48:52Speaker 2: he knows all this stuff. You know, he's way good,
- 48:56Speaker 2: and he's going to have an unbelievable game plan. I've
- 48:59Speaker 2: got Bartlesville winning this game, and they're going to win
- 49:02Speaker 2: it by some form of a two-point conversion. And I'm serious.
- 49:08Speaker 2: Whenever I say that is what Coach Hennessey does with
- 49:13Speaker 2: the two-point conversions and all that stuff like that, it's
- 49:16Speaker 2: going to drive Jared Hurd nuts because he's not going
- 49:18Speaker 2: to know whether, do I kick it? Yeah. Do I
- 49:20Speaker 2: go for two? Yeah. It's eight to nothing. Now we
- 49:23Speaker 2: just scored. It's eight to six. You know, it's a
- 49:25Speaker 2: first quarter. What do I do? Do I kick it?
- 49:27Speaker 2: Do I go for two? I go for two. Well,
- 49:29Speaker 2: they don't get it. Now you're in a situation the
- 49:31Speaker 2: rest of the game. So I'm telling you guys, that
- 49:34Speaker 2: stinks having to defend that stuff. So I'll turn it
- 49:37Speaker 2: over to Nighthawk.
- 49:39Speaker 4: So you're picking Barzo?
- 49:40Speaker 2: Yes.
- 49:41Speaker 4: Yeah, by two points. Yeah, one I want to talk
- 49:45Speaker 4: about Friday night. Batch Rev, exactly. And Evan, we've talked
- 49:51Speaker 4: about this off air, but we talked about on air.
- 49:53Speaker 4: That's exactly the product that we thought we were going
- 49:55Speaker 4: to see. After seeing the scrimmage the week before, the discipline,
- 49:58Speaker 4: the sideline. Talk about the atmosphere first. The atmosphere, I haven't,
- 50:04Speaker 4: you know, I've been in Bruins since 83, basically, 85.
- 50:09Speaker 4: Guess we switched in 93. Been to that 90% of
- 50:13Speaker 4: the ballgames on Friday nights, even back in 85 with
- 50:16Speaker 4: Mitch Nash and Paul Hood in that class. This is
- 50:19Speaker 4: the same atmosphere. I haven't felt this since 2010. We
- 50:24Speaker 4: were 7-0. Jinx was 7-0. Jinx came to town, and
- 50:28Speaker 4: two helicopters out on practice field. At game time, there
- 50:31Speaker 4: was a 200-yard-long line, and we were talking about it
- 50:35Speaker 4: from the press box. It was two minutes left in
- 50:39Speaker 4: the first quarter, and there was still a line of 50,
- 50:41Speaker 4: 60 yards of people trying to come in the stadium.
- 50:43Speaker 5: There was still a line in the second quarter.
- 50:45Speaker 4: It's unbelievable. And everyone was standing up. Our side was
- 50:48Speaker 4: completely packed. Skytook obviously traveled well. Then you go down
- 50:52Speaker 4: the sideline. Everything is organized. Everyone's engaged all the way
- 50:56Speaker 4: from the cheerleading to the band did a tremendous job.
- 51:00Speaker 4: The staff, it was just really cool to see. Then
- 51:04Speaker 4: you go down to the sideline of that coaching staff.
- 51:08Speaker 4: The coaching that happens on that sideline, which has got
- 51:11Speaker 4: to happen in the discipline, and everybody has a task
- 51:15Speaker 4: to do, including the players that are on the field.
- 51:19Speaker 4: 99% of the time, everybody had their helmets strapped on,
- 51:24Speaker 4: except when they were over there getting water and they're
- 51:26Speaker 4: getting coached up. But if they were standing up, which
- 51:28Speaker 4: was most of the time, After they broke out into
- 51:31Speaker 4: their position groups, as soon as they come off the field,
- 51:34Speaker 4: got coached up, got water, they were standing up, engaging,
- 51:37Speaker 4: cheering on their teammate.
- 51:38Speaker 2: And they were all on the sideline.
- 51:40Speaker 1: Yes.
- 51:40Speaker 2: Did you notice that?
- 51:41Speaker 5: They were all in one line, not back behind there
- 51:44Speaker 5: jacking around. They were on the sideline.
- 51:46Speaker 4: And I tell you, when the twos and threes got in,
- 51:49Speaker 4: the starters were their biggest cheerleaders.
- 51:51Speaker 2: I know it.
- 51:52Speaker 4: That tells me the culture has shifted a lot quicker
- 51:55Speaker 4: than I thought. I mean, we knew Hennessy was going
- 51:57Speaker 4: to come in.
- 51:58Speaker 6: It is.
- 51:59Speaker 4: hyper speed compared to, I thought, where it was going
- 52:01Speaker 4: to be. So, and then you talk about the game.
- 52:05Speaker 4: Love Michael Kent. You know, I think he's leading in
- 52:07Speaker 4: every category across the state at all levels. For sure, 6'8, 2,
- 52:11Speaker 4: you know, 330 yards. Lusk, I talked to Stryker after
- 52:15Speaker 4: the game. He's big time, boy. 6'3, 185 pounds. He
- 52:21Speaker 4: can catch like that and run like that. To be honest,
- 52:24Speaker 4: there's a huge discussion of who the best receiver is,
- 52:28Speaker 4: who the best athlete is between 11, 13, and zero.
- 52:35Speaker 4: Just impressive. And then you throw Bowdoin Roberts into the
- 52:39Speaker 4: group as far as big tight end, that H-back that
- 52:41Speaker 4: can catch it anywhere. Obviously, who do you defend, Coach?
- 52:46Speaker 4: I mean, as a defense, who do you defend?
- 52:49Speaker 2: Makes it tough.
- 52:50Speaker 4: I'm impressed with the offensive line. Love Chambers.
- 52:54Speaker 3: Wow.
- 52:55Speaker 4: I love her. I love Hank. You know, we've got
- 52:59Speaker 4: some juniors that have played for a couple years. And
- 53:03Speaker 4: I love their nastiness, to be honest with you. They are,
- 53:06Speaker 4: if you look at them, they're getting after people.
- 53:09Speaker 2: I know it.
- 53:09Speaker 5: Hey, you mentioned Bowden Roberts. He was a monster on defense.
- 53:13Speaker 4: Oh, he's my favorite player, to be honest with you.
- 53:16Speaker 4: I'm telling you. He's an Ironman. He's playing both sides.
- 53:18Speaker 4: Three sacks.
- 53:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 53:20Speaker 4: But I love the offensive line. I love their nastiness.
- 53:23Speaker 4: If you look at the scheme, you flip around to
- 53:25Speaker 4: the defensive side. It meant... You know, defense technically gave
- 53:29Speaker 4: up that one-yard score, and I know it bothered the
- 53:32Speaker 4: heck out of them. Special teams are going to have
- 53:34Speaker 4: to get cleaned up, okay? I know Coach Berto will
- 53:37Speaker 4: get them coached up, but special teams was the one
- 53:39Speaker 4: black eye probably for the whole group, and it's three
- 53:42Speaker 4: phases of game, offense, defense, special teams. They got to
- 53:44Speaker 4: get that cleaned up. Can't give up, you know, gosh dang,
- 53:48Speaker 4: big play, 16-0, then they give up, kickoff return. Claremore
- 53:53Speaker 4: is going to be a great test. I'm picking Barsville, Mike.
- 53:57Speaker 4: A couple touchdowns. I didn't like what I saw. Sal
- 54:01Speaker 4: saw a game. I agree with you. They were down
- 54:02Speaker 4: the field. But if you look, Coach Hurt, the team,
- 54:08Speaker 4: they did something I don't see very often, but they
- 54:10Speaker 4: had like 13 penalties, 412 yards.
- 54:12Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 54:15Speaker 4: That's not a Coach Hurt team.
- 54:16Speaker 3: No.
- 54:17Speaker 4: Coach Hurt is a coach against team. Great guy. Great coach.
- 54:23Speaker 4: But I think they've got it going on in Bartlesville.
- 54:26Speaker 4: And I'm picking Bartlesville to go. It's going to be
- 54:28Speaker 4: a dogfight. But I think we've got too many athletes
- 54:31Speaker 4: for them to cover. And I think the offensive line
- 54:34Speaker 4: is the best that I've seen in the last four
- 54:36Speaker 4: or five years for sure. And they'll be able to
- 54:40Speaker 4: run the ball a little bit with that offensive line.
- 54:44Speaker 4: And then, of course, Michael Kent is just playing, I mean,
- 54:47Speaker 4: first week. You can tell that we have Mason Fine
- 54:51Speaker 4: as quarterback coach. I had a quarterback– A buddy of
- 54:54Speaker 4: mine told me last year when he watched Kent, and
- 54:56Speaker 4: he played at a high level in college at quarterback,
- 55:01Speaker 4: and he said, you can just tell Michael Kent is
- 55:04Speaker 4: a great raw quarterback, but he's not getting coached as
- 55:07Speaker 4: a quarterback. You can see that now. 330 yards, great.
- 55:11Speaker 4: A lot of completions, a lot of touchdowns, great. The
- 55:14Speaker 4: thing I was looking at, can he run out of bounds, right,
- 55:17Speaker 4: not take that hit? He even slid one time. You
- 55:21Speaker 4: could tell that he's not forcing the ball. There was
- 55:23Speaker 4: a couple times that he tucked it and ran it.
- 55:25Speaker 4: To me, that's the sign of maturity as a quarterback.
- 55:28Speaker 4: And so, gosh, I expect great things. But I think
- 55:31Speaker 4: Claremore's going to have their hands full. I'm picking Barsville
- 55:34Speaker 4: by a couple touchdowns.
- 55:36Speaker 5: Just one more quick thing that was just something I
- 55:39Speaker 5: noticed that I thought was really cool. So, you know,
- 55:43Speaker 5: when the offense comes off the field, the linemen all
- 55:46Speaker 5: sit in those chairs and they've got the big TV
- 55:49Speaker 5: in front of them.
- 55:49Speaker 4: Yep.
- 55:50Speaker 5: And I don't remember who the offensive line coach is. Hughes?
- 55:54Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 55:54Speaker 5: So he's down there next to the TV, and I
- 55:58Speaker 5: can kind of see down there, and he's showing them something.
- 56:01Speaker 5: And two of the linemen get up and come over
- 56:04Speaker 5: to the TV and are showing him. You know, they're
- 56:08Speaker 5: pointing to whatever's happening there, and then he's kind of
- 56:11Speaker 5: talking back. And you can see him kind of nod, okay, okay,
- 56:13Speaker 5: I get it.
- 56:14Speaker 4: They're getting coached.
- 56:15Speaker 5: I know it.
- 56:16Speaker 2: They're getting coached.
- 56:16Speaker 4: It was great. The other thing that I want to
- 56:19Speaker 4: point out– Fourth quarter, I saw Coach Hennessey. I don't
- 56:25Speaker 4: know where his blood pressure was, and I don't know
- 56:28Speaker 4: exactly who he was mad at, but he was furious
- 56:32Speaker 4: with somebody. Supposedly, one of the coaches didn't have a
- 56:36Speaker 4: pin on him or something.
- 56:37Speaker 5: That's it. That's what it was.
- 56:38Speaker 4: And I'm telling you, and here it is, and it
- 56:39Speaker 4: reminded me of Coach, now not comparing obviously Coach Hennessey
- 56:44Speaker 4: to Coach Saban, But we all have heard stories.
- 56:47Speaker 2: About Coach Saban.
- 56:48Speaker 5: And his perfectionism.
- 56:48Speaker 2: And his perfectionism.
- 56:49Speaker 4: You know, it can be a minute and a half
- 56:51Speaker 4: left in the game, and they're up by 40 points,
- 56:54Speaker 4: and they didn't run a victory, you know, knee it right.
- 56:57Speaker 4: That's kind of the same expectations that Hennessy has for
- 57:01Speaker 4: everyone involved. And I'm sitting there going, you're up 40 points.
- 57:05Speaker 4: And after, when I talked to him, he said, we
- 57:07Speaker 4: should have won by 60.
- 57:08Speaker 5: You know the play you're talking about where the backup quarterback, Espy,
- 57:12Speaker 5: fell on the one.
- 57:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 57:14Speaker 5: The snap was high. And he, instead of throwing it
- 57:18Speaker 5: out of bounds and taking an incompletion 20 yards up,
- 57:21Speaker 5: he fell on it at the one. Did you see
- 57:24Speaker 5: Mason Fine get down that sideline to meet him coming
- 57:28Speaker 5: off the field? This is your backup quarterback.
- 57:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 57:31Speaker 5: And Mason Fine was coaching him up.
- 57:34Speaker 4: But did you see Hennessy after that? Hennessy went and
- 57:38Speaker 4: grabbed that kid, put his arm around him, and coached
- 57:40Speaker 4: him up. So, you know, he wasn't going to go.
- 57:44Speaker 4: I mean, it would be easy to go down there
- 57:46Speaker 4: and scream at the kid. Obviously, he saw that Coach
- 57:48Speaker 4: Fine was coaching him up. But Hennessy just went around,
- 57:51Speaker 4: you know, back up quarterback, put his arm around him.
- 57:53Speaker 4: You could tell he's leveling up. Those things are going
- 57:55Speaker 4: to happen. Learn from it. Don't let it happen again. But,
- 57:59Speaker 4: you know, just a lot of good things, a lot
- 58:02Speaker 4: of talk. The community– Isn't it great, though, what high
- 58:06Speaker 4: school football can do for a community?
- 58:08Speaker 2: Everyone's talking about it. Oh, my gosh. Everyone's talking about it.
- 58:12Speaker 4: 100%. The kids are walking around with some swag.
- 58:15Speaker 2: As they should. They're proud of it.
- 58:16Speaker 5: I know.
- 58:17Speaker 4: And what does that do? Because we talk about it
- 58:19Speaker 4: every week. Kids in that hallway are going to go,
- 58:22Speaker 4: I want to be a part of that.
- 58:23Speaker 2: I want to play.
- 58:24Speaker 3: I know.
- 58:24Speaker 4: I want to be a part of that.
- 58:25Speaker 2: I know it. And they want to be a part
- 58:26Speaker 2: of other programs. Yes. No, that's right. I want to
- 58:30Speaker 2: be a part of the band or, you know, cheer pump.
- 58:33Speaker 4: You know, other sports.
- 58:34Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 58:34Speaker 2: They want to do it, and it carries over into
- 58:36Speaker 2: other sports.
- 58:37Speaker 4: I mean, I even thought Evan sounded a little bit
- 58:39Speaker 4: better on the radio Friday.
- 58:40Speaker 5: Me too. He had a little pep in his step,
- 58:41Speaker 5: didn't he?
- 58:42Speaker 4: Yeah, he had a little pep in his step.
- 58:44Speaker 2: He kept freezing up on me. It's all a little
- 58:45Speaker 2: bit of tigger.
- 58:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
- 58:47Speaker 5: Well, I'm telling you, I'm not saying we're looking at
- 58:52Speaker 5: a gold ball state champion this year. But I am
- 58:55Speaker 5: telling you, this is a new day for Bruin football.
- 58:58Speaker 4: They're going to beat teams they're supposed to beat on paper.
- 59:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 59:03Speaker 4: You know, that's the thing as a coach. You go
- 59:04Speaker 4: through the 10-game schedule. You know on paper who you're
- 59:09Speaker 4: supposed to be. to beat. Then what you do as
- 59:11Speaker 4: a coach, you go, what is one team we're not
- 59:14Speaker 4: supposed to beat? How can we beat that team? I mean,
- 59:17Speaker 4: UConn's going to come in here week five, and they're
- 59:20Speaker 4: a dango football team.
- 59:21Speaker 5: With their full-time NIL coach.
- 59:24Speaker 4: Got a quarterback that is top in the country that
- 59:26Speaker 4: moved from Hawaii. They got the number one player in
- 59:28Speaker 4: the state. That's going to be a tough one. But
- 59:31Speaker 4: if we can start 4-0 and beat the teams that
- 59:33Speaker 4: we should beat, which on paper we should beat 5A teams.
- 59:37Speaker 4: So Claremore and O'Hennessey and group is concentrated on this.
- 59:40Speaker 2: Game right here.
- 59:41Speaker 4: I'm excited to see what happens Friday night.
- 59:44Speaker 5: Guys, can we give our number one listener and number
- 59:47Speaker 5: one fan, Cody Meade, a little bit of credit for
- 59:50Speaker 5: how he put together.
- 59:51Speaker 4: Not Cody Meade. It's Coach Meade now.
- 59:54Speaker 2: Coach Meade.
- 59:55Speaker 5: Can we give Coach Meade a little credit for that–
- 59:58Speaker 5: hype video he did using tailgate talk as the whole
- 1:00:02Speaker 5: platform for it. I mean, that's a faithful listener right there, fellas.
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: Yeah, I got teary-eyed.
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: You're right.
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: I know.
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: I got teary-eyed a little bit. The music and everything.
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: The one thing I'll say before we wrap it up,
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: we can talk about the sixth graders here in a second.
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: Is that right? Sixth graders.
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: At halftime, Kyle Poole goes down and does the interview
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: with Coach Hennessey on K1TV. com. And I said it during
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: the broadcast. Bartlesville was up 36-7, so that's 29 points.
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: We've been doing that ever since Kyle came on and we,
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: you know. I've started doing the live stream for seven
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: or eight years. We've never had a coach be disappointed
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: being up 29 and a half. Of course, it's only
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: been seven or eight years.
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: Didn't he say it's like a top ten butt-chewing? Yeah.
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: You want to talk about how things are different than
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: maybe they were before. That was what stuck out in
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: my mind, is that sounds a lot different than what
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: most 29-point leads would have sounded like previously.
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: It's fun.
- 1:01:07Speaker 5: I guarantee he was mad about that kick return.
- 1:01:09Speaker 4: Well, we talk about it. Bartlesville, I'm just telling you,
- 1:01:14Speaker 4: get involved. Get behind this program. No one in Bartlesville
- 1:01:18Speaker 4: has ever said, I don't want a successful Friday night
- 1:01:21Speaker 4: football team.
- 1:01:22Speaker 5: CP and I talked about this up in the suite,
- 1:01:25Speaker 5: but I'm telling you, get your blue seats.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: Here's why.
- 1:01:28Speaker 5: When you have those blue seats, you get a little pass,
- 1:01:31Speaker 5: which you can just flash at the gate, and you
- 1:01:33Speaker 5: don't have to stand in that line. So people need
- 1:01:37Speaker 5: to get this done so they're not in line next week.
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: That's fact.
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: That's fact.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:01:43Speaker 5: Go. Listen, Bruin White had a season-defining victory.
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: I don't know about you.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: Come on.
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: Yeah, so sixth graders, they're good. Played broken arrow here.
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: Beat them 40 to nothing. I just say that for
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: a listener because, I mean, the scoreboard shuts off at 35. Guys,
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: I'm telling you, once again, it's easy as a youth
- 1:02:07Speaker 4: football coach now because they're talking.
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: That's, I mean, it's so cool.
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: They're talking more about what's happening on Friday nights than
- 1:02:13Speaker 4: I've ever had, you know, for youth football. But, yeah,
- 1:02:16Speaker 4: they went out and played well. Gosh, you know, we
- 1:02:19Speaker 4: had Aaron Durant, which was a running back that I
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: coached back in 2005, 6, 7, 8. Great running back
- 1:02:27Speaker 4: for us, played college. His family just moved here from Tahlequah.
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: Cambry is his son. Real deal. Bryson Dorsey, real deal.
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: I mean, I could just go down the list. Those
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: kids are really, really good. good group of kids. I
- 1:02:39Speaker 4: got an offensive lineman that, you know, weighs 240 pounds,
- 1:02:43Speaker 4: gets after people. We got skill kids. So they, you know,
- 1:02:47Speaker 4: this week we play Owasso. We'll be down there on
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: the high school field, I think at one o'clock. And,
- 1:02:56Speaker 4: you know, these kids are putting the time in. I'm
- 1:02:58Speaker 4: telling you, this is the hottest, hottest September and August
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: that I've had in a while. And those kids are
- 1:03:03Speaker 4: just working right through it.
- 1:03:05Speaker 5: I want to know if, I'm assuming everybody probably but
- 1:03:08Speaker 5: Evan has seen the highlight, but I want to know
- 1:03:12Speaker 5: if Duke and Johnny Kane on his interception return where
- 1:03:17Speaker 5: he was high-fiving his teammates before he went into the
- 1:03:21Speaker 5: end zone, I want to know what kind of butt-chewing
- 1:03:23Speaker 5: he got after coming off the field.
- 1:03:26Speaker 4: You know, I didn't. I didn't catch it because I
- 1:03:28Speaker 4: automatically turned around and started yelling for P.A.T. I found
- 1:03:33Speaker 4: out about it after the game and then I saw
- 1:03:34Speaker 4: it on tape.
- 1:03:35Speaker 6: Oh, boy.
- 1:03:36Speaker 4: So it was a little, I just coached him up.
- 1:03:37Speaker 4: You know, little Johnny's a great kid. And that's something.
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: It wasn't.
- 1:03:42Speaker 4: What it was about the 10-yard, it was an 85-yard return,
- 1:03:46Speaker 4: and about the 10-yard line, it was almost like he
- 1:03:49Speaker 4: knew he couldn't do it, but Gunnar Sutherland was right
- 1:03:51Speaker 4: beside him, and they just kind of went like this.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: They gave each other a little fire.
- 1:03:54Speaker 4: So it wasn't like this in your face. I told Johnny,
- 1:03:59Speaker 4: I said, look, what you need to think about, you
- 1:04:01Speaker 4: get the wrong ref, tight game, and nobody wants to
- 1:04:04Speaker 4: pick six to come back because of a penalty. Be smart.
- 1:04:09Speaker 4: Do it after you cross.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: So.
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: But 85 yards, that sucker was gone.
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: I saw that our Bruins 7th grade team won yesterday
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: as well.
- 1:04:19Speaker 4: Who'd they play? Do you remember?
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: I don't remember. Yes, so did 8th. They did as well.
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: 34-0.
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: Boy, that's awesome. Yep. Geez, you get that whole group together,
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: you're going to have special teams.
- 1:04:30Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you this. We introduced the teams before
- 1:04:33Speaker 5: the game at 630, all the youth teams. And I
- 1:04:38Speaker 5: love that they had to split. that second grade into
- 1:04:43Speaker 5: two teams. That's a big deal.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: It is.
- 1:04:45Speaker 5: And I'm telling you, we went quick, but there are
- 1:04:49Speaker 5: a lot of.
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: Kids playing youth football.
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: A lot of kids.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: And I love it.
- 1:04:53Speaker 5: And so that's going to feed. And I bet there's
- 1:04:57Speaker 5: more and more as the years progress with Coach Hennessy.
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: If you want to build a football program, start with
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: the youth.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: I know.
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: And some of these area schools need to figure it out.
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: Because if you do not have a youth football program
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: or it's not any good, you're not going to win.
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: They're not going to play in junior high. They don't
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: play in high school. And you can't do it.
- 1:05:20Speaker 5: And I will give Coach Wright and Craig and his
- 1:05:25Speaker 5: son Mitch and John Jay credit. For, you know, if
- 1:05:31Speaker 5: Coach Wright left with kind of one thing that he
- 1:05:33Speaker 5: did leave with Bartlesville, it was making sure that that
- 1:05:37Speaker 5: youth program got strong again.
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: That's right.
- 1:05:40Speaker 5: And finding the right people to help.
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: Yeah, I have zero credit to do with it. There
- 1:05:43Speaker 4: was a whole bunch, Kane, Mitch, Sloan. I mean, you
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: can just damn John. I mean, there's a whole bunch
- 1:05:49Speaker 4: of people over the last three or four years that
- 1:05:50Speaker 4: worked their tail off for that youth program. Coach Hennessey,
- 1:05:53Speaker 4: I agree with you on the Coach Wright deal. Coach
- 1:05:56Speaker 4: Hennessey's obviously elevated that. He's very involved in the youth program. Also,
- 1:06:01Speaker 4: you see varsity coaches walking those practice fields.
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: Oh, really?
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: I mean, the other night, Eric Stryker came down. I
- 1:06:06Speaker 4: think he's coming down tonight to work with the linebackers.
- 1:06:09Speaker 4: But last week, Coach Sanji was out there walking around,
- 1:06:13Speaker 4: not just for 30 minutes. He's out there and visited
- 1:06:16Speaker 4: each team in Washington, out there for two hours.
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: That's awesome.
- 1:06:19Speaker 4: And it's 105.
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: Yeah, and they just practiced it. 5.30 in the morning.
- 1:06:23Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: And then had the kids in. So, man, I cannot
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: stress that enough. And it just disappoints me when I
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: see youth programs that are struggling.
- 1:06:32Speaker 4: Yep.
- 1:06:32Speaker 5: Feeling good.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: Week one. It's a good week.
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: All right, guys.
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: Go to Claremore.
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: Claremore.
- 1:06:36Speaker 5: Good luck to the teams.
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: K1K1TV. com and then Bahaska on KPGM and Dewey on K-Rig.
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: Hey, where do you eat at in Claremore when you go?
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: Hammond House.
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: Ron's is usually where we go.
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: Brom's?
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: Ron's.
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: He used to say Brom's.
- 1:06:50Speaker 6: Ron's.
- 1:06:50Speaker 5: Ron's hamburgers and chili.
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: That's the same thing.
- 1:06:53Speaker 5: You don't like the Hammond House?
- 1:06:54Speaker 3: Not quite.
- 1:06:55Speaker 4: It's fine. Ron's is pretty good.
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: It's fine.
- 1:06:57Speaker 5: I love Ron's.
- 1:06:58Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:06:58Speaker 3: We don't have a Ron's. We usually go to Ron's.
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: I go to Ron's Sand Springs also.
- 1:07:01Speaker 6: Okay. All right.
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: All right, guys.
- 1:07:04Speaker 5: You know what they have at Claremore? Taco Tico.
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: There we go.
- 1:07:08Speaker 4: Now we're talking.
- 1:07:09Speaker 5: It's the only one left.
- 1:07:09Speaker 4: I think it's the only one left. You can't do
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: that for a football game. Are you nuts?
- 1:07:14Speaker 5: Oh, that's true.
- 1:07:14Speaker 4: You're going to go in there.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: And eat 16 tacos.
- 1:07:15Speaker 4: You for sure can't go if you're going to be
- 1:07:17Speaker 4: up in the booth.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: No, there's no way.
- 1:07:19Speaker 3: I'll be up there with chili. A bunless triple bacon chili.
- 1:07:25Speaker 5: Hey, one more thing about the crowd and all that
- 1:07:27Speaker 5: kind of stuff. So I'm in Price's Meat Market yesterday.
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: You know what Dino told me? The concession stands used
- 1:07:34Speaker 5: 50 pounds of chili. They sold so many.
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: It was 100?
- 1:07:42Speaker 4: I know.
- 1:07:43Speaker 5: But they went through 50 pounds of chili in the
- 1:07:46Speaker 5: concession stand. That's how many people were at this game.
- 1:07:48Speaker 4: Wow.
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: Pretty awesome.
- 1:07:50Speaker 4: And you know what's great about it? It just all
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: programs fit each other because that concession, I guarantee it,
- 1:07:54Speaker 4: made a ton of money, which goes straight to the band.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: Huge for the band. Huge.
- 1:07:57Speaker 4: All right.
- 1:07:59Speaker 3: All right, y'all.
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: Good game.
