1:20
Speaker 2: They got a goal midway through the second period what
1:23
Speaker 2: has been a tense, tight, well played hockey game. Sweden's

1:32
Speaker 2: US with seventeen minutes left.
1:35
Speaker 1: In the game.

1:42
Speaker 2: goal with three minutes to play. They got the time
1:45
Speaker 2: goal and then they got the winning goal in overtime.
1:50
Speaker 2: The Hosers advanced to the semifinals, and again, if the

2:50
Speaker 2: the Red Raiders in any shot they had to advance
2:54

Speaker 7: Sharene Williams from Pro Football Talker, dear friend An m
7:43
Speaker 7: R and Hall of Famer An m R. That's a
7:45
Speaker 7: new one.
7:46
Speaker 8: Have I used that one before?
7:47
Speaker 9: I haven't heard it? Yeah, it applies.
7:49
Speaker 7: Hey, Sharen, good morning, Good morning.
7:52
Speaker 10: Kind of like that A and m R. Kind of
7:54
Speaker 10: hard I like it.
7:57
Speaker 7: Mike Vaughan and Miles are they first ballot Hall of Famer?
8:00
Speaker 7: I know wide receivers sometimes have to wait a little bit.
8:02
Speaker 7: Do you think Mike's the first ballot Hall of Famer?
8:05
Speaker 10: That's a tough one. You know, they made receivers wait.
8:08
Speaker 10: And my guess is that he's not going to get
8:11
Speaker 10: in on first ballot. And we don't know how much
8:14
Speaker 10: longer he's gonna play or how much more he's gonna do,
8:17
Speaker 10: But my guess is that he's gonna have to wait
8:20
Speaker 10: like Michael Irving was the third ballot, you know, Hall
8:22
Speaker 10: of Famer, and so I you know, my guess is
8:26
Speaker 10: he's gonna have to wait, just the way that we
8:28
Speaker 10: have treated first ballot guys.
8:30
Speaker 6: That Texacs Live.
8:31
Speaker 2: Brought to you by David Gardner's Jewelers hang out weekdays
8:34
Speaker 2: from eight to eleven on the Zone.
8:43
Speaker 11: I'm leave all tree. We all took the rest, but
8:55
Speaker 11: he wanted me. I'm leaning fall the tree.
9:06
Speaker 9: When the autumn wind blows from.
9:10
Speaker 11: They're already gone.
9:13
Speaker 12: They fluttered to the ground. They just can't.
9:20
Speaker 9: And there's nothing happen in this world that I ain't seeing.
9:28
Speaker 12: I greet all the new ones that.
9:30
Speaker 11: Are coming and green. I'm alive, clean, fall on the trees.
9:42
Speaker 11: The aut of them took the rest.
9:45
Speaker 9: But they walled me.
9:49
Speaker 11: Live lean fall the trees.
9:56
Speaker 9: Let's say, I gotta Steve Howur.
10:00
Speaker 8: Hmm here on.
10:01
Speaker 1: A tree, but I've been here since Eisenhower and I've out.
10:07
Speaker 9: Little even He's.
10:12
Speaker 11: Leave on the tree. They took the wrist, but they
10:21
Speaker 11: wanted me leave tree.
10:30
Speaker 13: That's Willie and Uh, a poignant song to one of
10:36
Speaker 13: his last albums, The Last Leaf on the Tree.
10:41
Speaker 1: He's actually added that.
10:44
Speaker 2: Or did add that to some of his shows in
10:48
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. He is not touring right now.
10:56
Speaker 2: We don't know if he's going to be touring again.
11:02
Speaker 2: There has been nothing announced, nothing said. Normally by this
11:08
Speaker 2: time he would have quite a few gigs already in
11:14
Speaker 2: the works. I think he's been over at his house
11:18
Speaker 2: in Hawaii laying low, and maybe he and his family decided,
11:26
Speaker 2: you know, Willie, you're ninety two, about to be ninety three,
11:31
Speaker 2: why don't you stay here by the beach and hang out.
11:35
Speaker 2: We'll see. I do expect him maybe to do some
11:40
Speaker 2: special things as guests or we'll see, but there hasn't
11:48
Speaker 2: been anything formal announced. It's just it's very interesting, all right.
11:57
Speaker 2: Ten fifty left in regulation. The US has survived another
12:04
Speaker 2: power play and they still remain up one goal to
12:10
Speaker 2: nothing over Sweden. They are trying to get to the semifinals,
12:15
Speaker 2: where they would play Slovakia for the chance to play
12:21
Speaker 2: in the.
12:21
Speaker 1: Gold medal game. There's a lot of work left to do.
12:26
Speaker 2: As we mentioned earlier, the Aggie basketball team is trying
12:30
Speaker 2: to stop a four game losing streak and they need
12:34
Speaker 2: to do that tonight. They need to start a winning
12:39
Speaker 2: streak tonight they host ole Miss, a team that is
12:45
Speaker 2: number ninety two in the NET. They have lost their
12:49
Speaker 2: last seven games. They are three to nine in the
12:54
Speaker 2: league under Chris Beard and haven't been real good frankly
12:59
Speaker 2: most of the year.
13:03
Speaker 1: Rashwan Ag coming off, you know, he spoiled us.
13:07
Speaker 2: He had eleven rebounds, but he only had eight points
13:10
Speaker 2: in the game against Vanderbilt, and Bucky told his radio
13:18
Speaker 2: audience and restaurant audience Monday night Ag was gassed, which
13:23
Speaker 2: we had talked about on the Writer's roundtable on Monday.
13:27
Speaker 1: Here is Rashaan Ag.
13:31
Speaker 14: What what what do you think y'all have to do
13:33
Speaker 14: specifically to to uh, you.
13:36
Speaker 4: Know, get back to the win, get back to the
13:39
Speaker 4: civil things, understanding what we do best, going back to
13:45
Speaker 4: who he was to start SEC playoffs and just like
13:48
Speaker 4: you know, starting starting from day one again basically and
13:51
Speaker 4: figuring everything out day by day.
13:54
Speaker 8: Is this a must win? Absolutely?
13:56
Speaker 4: I mean I feel like every game is a must
13:58
Speaker 4: win at this point, no matter if you lose one
14:00
Speaker 4: game or two games or right now we are at
14:03
Speaker 4: four and every game is a must win.
14:04
Speaker 8: And right now our focus on is on this game.
14:10
Speaker 15: How much of a maybe physical told that five game
14:13
Speaker 15: stretch take on you guys and just maybe some of
14:15
Speaker 15: the things y'all are trying to do to you know,
14:18
Speaker 15: stay fresh and not be too fatigued.
14:22
Speaker 4: I would say, just continue to get in, get in
14:24
Speaker 4: with recovery, with our trainer, making sure you take care
14:27
Speaker 4: of your body, making sure you eat. I mean, the
14:30
Speaker 4: way we play, of course is always an adjustment to
14:32
Speaker 4: your body and your mental, your physical. But man, just
14:37
Speaker 4: you know, going in taking care of your body and
14:38
Speaker 4: making sure you get your rest in.
14:40
Speaker 16: So we talked about how yesterday I'll didn't do anything
14:43
Speaker 16: on the court, and then today it was a quicker
14:45
Speaker 16: practice session. Did you feel fresher within that forty five
14:49
Speaker 16: minutes to an hour that you'll have today?
14:51
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And I feel like we competed well today and
14:53
Speaker 4: we and our communication was way better and I feel
14:56
Speaker 4: like our defense picked up today.
14:59
Speaker 15: What a what was it like in the part of
15:01
Speaker 15: the special jersey reveal.
15:04
Speaker 8: And what do you think of him? I mean, I
15:07
Speaker 8: enjoyed it. I actually like the jerseys, you know.
15:10
Speaker 4: I wanted a little different vibe, something different to be
15:14
Speaker 4: looking forward to the playing the game. It's always great
15:16
Speaker 4: to do and of course were thankful for you know
15:19
Speaker 4: who we're doing it for.
15:21
Speaker 17: Does the sword come with the jersey?
15:23
Speaker 8: Are they going to let you play with that?
15:25
Speaker 1: Uh?
15:25
Speaker 16: Nah?
15:25
Speaker 4: I was like, we get to we normally get to
15:28
Speaker 4: hold the sword. Can I can I hold you?
15:32
Speaker 8: You know this is lost seven in the row.
15:34
Speaker 14: I think at last three by you know double figure margins.
15:38
Speaker 14: Does that the fact that they're struggling. Is that something
15:43
Speaker 14: you all look at and get and glean some optimism
15:45
Speaker 14: from or do you look at them like, okay, that
15:47
Speaker 14: even makes some you know.
15:49
Speaker 8: More dangerous, make some more dangerous.
15:51
Speaker 4: Like I said, everybody in the SEC is a is
15:54
Speaker 4: an opponent you have to like respect and going to
15:57
Speaker 4: the game with with a different mindset. Like if you
16:00
Speaker 4: I feel like I tell my teammates all the time,
16:01
Speaker 4: if you don't come in with that that dog mindset,
16:05
Speaker 4: if you don't come in with that ready mindset, then
16:07
Speaker 4: I mean to hell, coach, like you don't need to
16:09
Speaker 4: play like no matter how high we get or how
16:12
Speaker 4: low we get, I mean, I feel like we always
16:14
Speaker 4: got to stay even and stay in a tag mode.
16:17
Speaker 14: You attribute some of the shooting slumps just one of
16:19
Speaker 14: those things where you know, the ebbs and flow basketball
16:22
Speaker 14: that eventually you'll kind of regress back.
16:23
Speaker 8: To back to the meeting. Yeah, it'll eventually go back
16:27
Speaker 8: to normal.
16:28
Speaker 4: I feel like that's just the highs and lows of
16:30
Speaker 4: a college back, well not even college, but basketball period.
16:33
Speaker 4: I mean not to say we NBA players, but a
16:36
Speaker 4: lot of NBA players you see may go a year
16:39
Speaker 4: shooting forty percent and then next year they may be
16:44
Speaker 4: shooting low thirties, almost twenty percent. So it's just the
16:46
Speaker 4: highs and lows of basketball. And it's also got something
16:49
Speaker 4: to do with, you know, I mean, fatigue. That's why
16:52
Speaker 4: I say we got to make sure we get our rest.
16:54
Speaker 4: We got to make sure we're eating properly, and make
16:56
Speaker 4: sure we just continuing and get in the gym and
16:58
Speaker 4: looking to get better on a daily basis.
17:02
Speaker 15: What's what's maybe the hardest part from a mental standpoint,
17:05
Speaker 15: trying to break a losing streak and just get back
17:08
Speaker 15: on track.
17:09
Speaker 8: I would say from me just being in college and
17:12
Speaker 8: losing streaks and you know, prior prior uh.
17:16
Speaker 4: Losing streets that I've been on, this just the positive mindset,
17:19
Speaker 4: you know, the stand together, the continuing to understand that
17:24
Speaker 4: even though we lost, we got to gain something from
17:26
Speaker 4: the loss.
17:27
Speaker 8: And not just think of.
17:28
Speaker 4: It as now we're getting worse. You got to always
17:31
Speaker 4: stay positive through it all. And I'm not saying that
17:34
Speaker 4: they can't be coaching in there and you can't like
17:38
Speaker 4: you know, point.
17:39
Speaker 8: Out things and improve on things.
17:40
Speaker 4: But I feel like staying positive through through the adversity
17:44
Speaker 4: is something that I feel like we should harp on
17:48
Speaker 4: what have you.
17:48
Speaker 15: Seen from all this and just the team you're gonna
17:51
Speaker 15: face as you guys have been scouting.
17:52
Speaker 4: Them, I would say, I mean, we haven't really went
17:56
Speaker 4: through it a lot, but I mean defense, something that
17:59
Speaker 4: you know we've been struggling with is making sure we
18:03
Speaker 4: help the next.
18:03
Speaker 8: Man and and flow and keep keeping no paint touches.
18:08
Speaker 4: But I feel like, I mean, it's a good It's
18:11
Speaker 4: a good challenge for us coming up, and it should
18:14
Speaker 4: get us on the right path, and once we get
18:15
Speaker 4: to the right path.
18:16
Speaker 8: We should be moving in the right direction going into March.
18:20
Speaker 14: You feel like the lack of size of this team is.
18:25
Speaker 8: Is hindered at some points. Has that been difficult to overcome?
18:29
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I feel like we played great.
18:31
Speaker 4: You know, we played great defense at times, and we
18:33
Speaker 4: also rebounded the ball great at times. It's just about consistency,
18:37
Speaker 4: you know, playing against bigger teams is that's that's normally
18:40
Speaker 4: in college basketball. There's always teams that's bigger than us,
18:43
Speaker 4: or even in my past has always been teams bigger
18:45
Speaker 4: than us when we had seven footers that will play
18:47
Speaker 4: the five for us. But it's just the consistency of
18:50
Speaker 4: understanding that when you are a smaller team that you
18:53
Speaker 4: got to do everything, all the little things all the time,
18:56
Speaker 4: driving on the floor, you know, uh loose, getting the
18:59
Speaker 4: fifty fifty basketballs, making secondary efforts them things just got
19:04
Speaker 4: to stand out more.
19:05
Speaker 15: Seems like Fetti had maybe a little more run on
19:08
Speaker 15: Saturday's game. Just what have you seen from him lately
19:11
Speaker 15: that maybe led to him getting unextended opportunity.
19:15
Speaker 4: Fetty's always been great for us, no matter you know,
19:17
Speaker 4: if he played two minutes or he played thirty minutes.
19:19
Speaker 4: I feel like Vetti's a good energy spark that we need,
19:22
Speaker 4: especially because of his activity defensively and I mean he
19:26
Speaker 4: just I just tell him all the time and be
19:28
Speaker 4: ready when your number is called.
19:30
Speaker 8: I've been there before.
19:31
Speaker 4: Every opportunity matters, and it matters to the team when
19:34
Speaker 4: you come out there and you have you may come
19:36
Speaker 4: out there for one one minute and you getting depressed,
19:39
Speaker 4: and you might get two three turnovers and a one
19:41
Speaker 4: minute may turn into fifteen. So I mean, he's he's
19:44
Speaker 4: great to me. He's always been great.
19:47
Speaker 17: The Marcus L that we've seen the last couple of
19:49
Speaker 17: games is obviously a Marcus L that you've seen for
19:52
Speaker 17: a couple of years now. When he was going through
19:54
Speaker 17: that stretch at the start of SEC play, when he
19:57
Speaker 17: was banged up, what were you telling him, just to
19:59
Speaker 17: you know him better than anybody on this team, Just
20:02
Speaker 17: to tell him to keep going so that when he
20:04
Speaker 17: does get healthy he has knights like he had against fah.
20:08
Speaker 4: Just to stay positive, you know, don't overwork yourself, don't
20:11
Speaker 4: overthink it. You know, like I said, basketball is a
20:14
Speaker 4: game of highs and lows. As long as you can
20:17
Speaker 4: continue to get in the gym and you believe in
20:18
Speaker 4: your work, your work will always show. You know, behind
20:21
Speaker 4: closed doors, what you do behind closed doors will always
20:24
Speaker 4: come to the light. So I just told him, just
20:26
Speaker 4: believe in your work. You know, I watch you work
20:28
Speaker 4: out every day, and I mean we've played against each
20:31
Speaker 4: other multiple times, and I tell him, like man, like,
20:35
Speaker 4: it'll work yourself out. Just be patient, and what God
20:38
Speaker 4: has for you can beat you stop.
20:40
Speaker 2: That's Rashawan ag the leading scorer, the leading rebounder, the
20:44
Speaker 2: leader for this team. They got to get Ruben Domingus going. Man,
20:50
Speaker 2: he's got to see a couple of three point shots fall.
20:53
Speaker 2: And they got to get ryle On Griffin back going.
20:56
Speaker 2: His last two games have not been great. They got
21:00
Speaker 2: to get him going a little bit or two of
21:02
Speaker 2: his last three games. I guess, so I expect a
21:09
Speaker 2: fresher team then we saw Saturday at Vanderbilt, and I
21:15
Speaker 2: expect a team that we've seen.
21:20
Speaker 1: More this year than not. But they got to play.
21:28
Speaker 2: I know what Ole miss is, but you know that
21:32
Speaker 2: Chris Beard is a heck of a coach. They've got
21:35
Speaker 2: players like everybody else in the league, and they need
21:39
Speaker 2: to take care of business six o'clock tonight at Oklahoma Saturday,
21:45
Speaker 2: then at Vietnam. Oh, they don't like that, and then
21:50
Speaker 2: two of their last three at home, Texas, Kentucky and
21:53
Speaker 2: lsh You now, Amo Kentucky getting beat by Georgia last
21:58
Speaker 2: night at all that's crazy, crazy, I tell you all right.
22:06
Speaker 2: From the baseball front, the Aggies win last night wasn't
22:10
Speaker 2: easy close most of the way. They end up winning
22:18
Speaker 2: eight to three, and you know, like we love to say,
22:28
Speaker 2: that's baseball, and they'll they'll be at home all weekend
22:33
Speaker 2: with Penn. They got home runs from three freshmen last night,
22:41
Speaker 2: uh Partita, Boston, Kellner, Jory and Wilson the first home
22:49
Speaker 2: runs of their careers. So here is Michael early afterward.
22:57
Speaker 18: That's the three true freshmen at homer Den. I one
22:59
Speaker 18: have the has shown you that they need early playing
23:03
Speaker 18: time in the season, And how impressed were you with
23:05
Speaker 18: their performances today?
23:06
Speaker 19: I think I think that the thing that really helps
23:09
Speaker 19: is they're super talented, right, like you got to have
23:11
Speaker 19: a certain level of talent to play in the SEC
23:14
Speaker 19: or any college baseball as a freshmen. But they've also
23:17
Speaker 19: had some really good performances in practice where you feel
23:19
Speaker 19: good about putting them in there. They they don't you know,
23:21
Speaker 19: Jordan's still got He's still you know, still got a
23:25
Speaker 19: another gear. He can get to the other two on
23:27
Speaker 19: that gear trying to get to the next one. But
23:29
Speaker 19: they're they're all super mature and they work really hard,
23:31
Speaker 19: so you feel comfortable put them in there because in
23:33
Speaker 19: the end, you know, they're all competitors to put the
23:36
Speaker 19: lineup as a whole, just the resiliency to kind of
23:38
Speaker 19: battle and then kind.
23:38
Speaker 20: Of breakthrough in the end of the game. There.
23:40
Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, it's I thought, I mean, I thought,
23:42
Speaker 19: they're guys like that team's that's a good that's a
23:45
Speaker 19: good freaking team. Man Like they're scrappy. That's that was
23:47
Speaker 19: real stuff on the mountain. It's definitely a step or
23:50
Speaker 19: two up from what we saw all weekend, and they
23:52
Speaker 19: presented a little bit of a challenge, which was interesting
23:55
Speaker 19: because if you look at our team as a whole,
23:56
Speaker 19: predominantly we've got a decent amount of.
23:58
Speaker 20: Ride fastball hitters. So what are our guys see all
24:00
Speaker 20: the time?
24:01
Speaker 19: It's that we had a we had a game where
24:04
Speaker 19: Gavin Lyons really chewed us up with that armside run sinker.
24:08
Speaker 20: We went all weekend and that's pretty much all we saw.
24:10
Speaker 19: And they came out and had a lot of low
24:12
Speaker 19: slot or high like ride or ride and run heaters and.
24:16
Speaker 20: And that's what we really train on a lot.
24:18
Speaker 19: I mean, the SEC is a pretty much a ride league,
24:20
Speaker 19: Like you gotta you know, you gotta win the top
24:22
Speaker 19: of the zone and get above it.
24:23
Speaker 20: I didn't think we did that consistently, which is why
24:26
Speaker 20: the game kind of drug out.
24:27
Speaker 19: I mean, credit to them for hitting their spots, but
24:29
Speaker 19: I think for us, we gotta, you know, we gotta
24:31
Speaker 19: be able to hit different looks.
24:32
Speaker 20: Bringing the seecret.
24:33
Speaker 19: Guy, bringing a ride guy, but resilience absolutely no panic,
24:38
Speaker 19: kept grinding, got on basement.
24:40
Speaker 20: You need to got to hitch. We need to get it.
24:42
Speaker 20: So that that was a that was a plus, like
24:44
Speaker 20: you gotta play.
24:44
Speaker 19: I mean that was a that wasn't a five run
24:46
Speaker 19: game like that felt that was tight, That was good
24:48
Speaker 19: for us to play in.
24:50
Speaker 20: We did great this weekend. Those are fun.
24:52
Speaker 19: Those are not gonna happen a lot, right, So games
24:54
Speaker 19: like that on a Tuesday and just getting up after
24:58
Speaker 19: an awesome weekend, I'll take that every day.
25:01
Speaker 15: What did Ko's homer kind of do to get a
25:03
Speaker 15: little bit of a catalyst spark blood going, because it
25:05
Speaker 15: seemed like from there you'll started to get some crooked numbers.
25:07
Speaker 19: Yeah, it's always good to get on the board, right,
25:09
Speaker 19: get the first hit, get the first run, and it's like, okay,
25:12
Speaker 19: we're right in this thing.
25:12
Speaker 20: But I I just go back to like Gavin Lyons
25:15
Speaker 20: performance was awesome.
25:17
Speaker 19: I mean, you guys know all these Tuesday games and
25:19
Speaker 19: go it can turn into a bullpen. I mean, look
25:21
Speaker 19: what they did for him to give up those two
25:23
Speaker 19: home runs and then they weren't bad pitches, and then
25:26
Speaker 19: just keep going, keep going and get to the fifth inning.
25:29
Speaker 19: I decided, an unbelievable job and he dart in fresh
25:33
Speaker 19: or in one. They all allowed us to do what
25:35
Speaker 19: we did off there. So it's a really really good
25:37
Speaker 19: team performance.
25:38
Speaker 15: I guess to that point, just what was it about
25:41
Speaker 15: Lions that he was able to just shake shake those
25:43
Speaker 15: off and keep it going.
25:45
Speaker 19: It was a it was a big step for him, right,
25:47
Speaker 19: You've seen him like he keep he pitched well last
25:50
Speaker 19: year and he's had some outings, I mean practice predominance.
25:54
Speaker 19: So I'm going off the time where maybe he gets
25:56
Speaker 19: touched up a little bit and then.
25:59
Speaker 20: It goes south. He just kept throwing his pitches like
26:01
Speaker 20: those guys, those were good hitters that hit those balls.
26:04
Speaker 20: Those are good players. He just kept going.
26:06
Speaker 19: He really the breaking ball has gotten a lot better
26:08
Speaker 19: this year, so he's able to pitch like this, not
26:11
Speaker 19: just one side of the plate, which is really beneficial
26:13
Speaker 19: from a really.
26:14
Speaker 20: Unique arm slot. You haven't seen repaan all when he
26:16
Speaker 20: came back to the route. No, not at all, not
26:19
Speaker 20: at all.
26:20
Speaker 19: He did like a little spin parallette on the way
26:24
Speaker 19: out before he came out and caught a cramp, so
26:25
Speaker 19: he should probably not do that again. But he was
26:27
Speaker 19: come out of the game anyway, No, he was.
26:29
Speaker 20: He was like this the entire time.
26:31
Speaker 18: What does it say about Jordian that little bounce back
26:34
Speaker 18: from an over three start and stay with it. Was
26:36
Speaker 18: there any conversation ahead with him and he thought of
26:38
Speaker 18: even lifting him anything like that.
26:39
Speaker 20: No, no, no thought of taking him out of the game. Like,
26:41
Speaker 20: we need that guy to we need that guy to play.
26:43
Speaker 20: He needs the experience. You can see what he can do.
26:45
Speaker 19: He just needed to He just needed to relax, get
26:48
Speaker 19: his swing off, not think too much. You know, he's
26:51
Speaker 19: he's so coachable to the point where sometimes it's almost
26:56
Speaker 19: too much, like he's gonna do everything he asked. It's
26:57
Speaker 19: just like, dude, just relax, get you swing off, trust
27:01
Speaker 19: your strike zone control. He's gonna help us. I mean,
27:03
Speaker 19: he's gonna carve out a role one way or another.
27:05
Speaker 19: But we need we need some left handed hitting. And
27:07
Speaker 19: you can see what he can do.
27:09
Speaker 8: I saw Chris and the dugout. Was he close to
27:11
Speaker 8: playing it all tonight?
27:11
Speaker 19: Yeah, pretty close, I think, I think, uh, I think,
27:15
Speaker 19: you know, Friday, hopefully we're good to go on Friday.
27:18
Speaker 19: Speaking of Chris, not having him in the lineup, not
27:20
Speaker 19: having to the best night, what's to say to be
27:22
Speaker 19: able to still put eight points on the board with
27:24
Speaker 19: you know, a couple of your key pieces not really contributed. Yeah,
27:27
Speaker 19: I mean, we just want to be able to plug
27:28
Speaker 19: and play right obviously, like Sorell, what a what a
27:32
Speaker 19: humbling game? Baseball is, right, like you gotta It's just
27:35
Speaker 19: it's you can he can be up here one second
27:37
Speaker 19: and you're down here and he's gonna be He's gonna
27:39
Speaker 19: be fine.
27:39
Speaker 20: And Chestnut did an awesome job, got in there.
27:42
Speaker 19: Just a great piece to have, and all those guys contributed.
27:45
Speaker 20: Well, I mean it was we're playing, man, it.
27:47
Speaker 19: Don't matter who's on the field, Like we use two
27:50
Speaker 19: things you can do in a baseball game.
27:51
Speaker 20: You can win or you can lose. You're in the game.
27:52
Speaker 20: We're trying to win. And I thought those guys really
27:55
Speaker 20: battled and really.
27:56
Speaker 2: All right, that's uh Michael. Early after the game last night,
28:03
Speaker 2: Sweden has just scored the tying goal with a minute
28:08
Speaker 2: and thirty one seconds left.
28:13
Speaker 1: Zabinijev did it and.
28:17
Speaker 2: Another big time NHL player, Like I said, the rosters
28:22
Speaker 2: filled with him.
28:23
Speaker 1: Hellabuck has been great.
28:25
Speaker 2: There was some traffic in front of him, and man,
28:35
Speaker 2: that was just a sniper of a shot to the
28:39
Speaker 2: short side. It is one to one with a minute
28:43
Speaker 2: fifteen left. Now in regulation, we're at the point where
28:48
Speaker 2: next goal is going to win this game. It's going
28:53
Speaker 2: to eliminate the opponent and set the winner up for
28:58
Speaker 2: the semifinals and it's dance at the gold medal. You know,
29:08
Speaker 2: you knew this game was going to be like this.
29:10
Speaker 2: It's been like this the whole game. It has been tight,
29:14
Speaker 2: tight checking, great goaltending, played at an extremely high level.
29:22
Speaker 2: And I don't think until the horn sounded anybody was
29:29
Speaker 2: taking anything for granted. But again, tying goal with a
29:35
Speaker 2: buck thirty left and the US.
29:39
Speaker 1: Team needs a goal. Maybe going overtime. We'll let you know.

34:03
Speaker 2: To say it is all welly Wednesday, we are in
34:06
Speaker 2: overtime US and Sweden, so it's three on three hockey
34:10
Speaker 2: right now.
34:11
Speaker 1: Weird stuff happens with three on three hockey.
34:14
Speaker 2: Sudden death three on three Yep, sudden death three on
34:18
Speaker 2: three hockey. So it's it's anybody's game. I don't like this, Yeah,
34:26
Speaker 2: I don't like it either. I liked it better when
34:28
Speaker 2: it was one to nothing and it looked like the
34:32
Speaker 2: US was going to advance, but Sweden tied it up
34:37
Speaker 2: with a minute thirty to play. You were out at
34:39
Speaker 2: Olson last night, Yes, how was.
34:42
Speaker 1: It south wind Yep?
34:46
Speaker 9: It wasn't blown in my face. That's good all weekend
34:49
Speaker 9: this weekend coming up gonna be blown in my face.
34:51
Speaker 1: It is.
34:56
Speaker 9: Thought the first half of the game, too many pop ups.
35:01
Speaker 9: Not that that thought they were swinging for the fences,
35:04
Speaker 9: but they were being pitched up in the upper half
35:07
Speaker 9: of the zone, pitches that would have been called strikes. Yeah,
35:10
Speaker 9: and weren't getting on top of the baseball. So when
35:13
Speaker 9: that when that changed, and it happened to be the
35:16
Speaker 9: freshman that changed it. I mean, you got three freshmen
35:21
Speaker 9: with with power potential like you had with Grohovic, like
35:25
Speaker 9: you had with Sorell. I mean, it's just those three
35:30
Speaker 9: guys are very talented young players.
35:35
Speaker 1: And you know, Jordan Wilson's kind of a beast, didn't he?
35:40
Speaker 9: Uh not kind of. He's about He's about the biggest
35:47
Speaker 9: actual athlete that has been out at Aggie Baseball in
35:52
Speaker 9: a long time.
35:53
Speaker 1: He from Hollettsville. Did I get that right?
35:56
Speaker 9: From Hollettsville?
35:57
Speaker 1: He played football as well?
35:59
Speaker 9: I don't think he did. I think he I think
36:06
Speaker 9: we would have heard of him been a football player too.
36:09
Speaker 1: How big is he six? Okay? Because he looked bigger
36:14
Speaker 1: than that.
36:15
Speaker 9: He fills out the uniform he does.
36:17
Speaker 1: He's a monster.
36:24
Speaker 9: No basketball, JV football. He did not play varsity football.
36:29
Speaker 1: Okay, well, he probably picked the right sport.
36:34
Speaker 9: Yeah. I got a question for you about this Olympic copy. Yeah,
36:40
Speaker 9: is this rink bigger than smaller?
36:43
Speaker 8: Now?
36:43
Speaker 1: It is smaller, smaller.
36:45
Speaker 9: Because at Lake Placid it was bigger than.
36:49
Speaker 1: I didn't remember that.
36:50
Speaker 2: I thought it was smaller too, But no, this this
36:52
Speaker 2: rink is is is smaller, a little bit shorter, not
36:58
Speaker 2: a lot, uh, but the the other factor and we've
37:02
Speaker 2: seen it several times in the third period, especially uh
37:06
Speaker 2: the ice hasn't been great.
37:08
Speaker 9: And I don't think the ice has been gatt in
37:11
Speaker 9: my and my skating events either.
37:13
Speaker 1: This this time of of of game. Oh is that right? Yes,
37:18
Speaker 1: this this time of game.
37:20
Speaker 2: Uh, the puck has and that had, by the way,
37:23
Speaker 2: that had nothing to do with with the goalie us
37:25
Speaker 2: gave up.
37:26
Speaker 1: It was just a blast.
37:27
Speaker 2: But but the puck has taken some really funky bounces.
37:32
Speaker 1: Uh.
37:33
Speaker 2: You could tell they have a hard time controlling the puck.
37:39
Speaker 2: And again both teams have to do it. And both
37:42
Speaker 2: these teams have played on on bad ice before.
37:45
Speaker 1: Uh.
37:45
Speaker 2: And I don't think it's terrible. I just I don't
37:49
Speaker 2: think it's It's what most of them are used to
37:53
Speaker 2: playing most nights, I guess, is the best way to
37:56
Speaker 2: put it.
37:56
Speaker 9: You mean they have good ice in the NHL.
37:58
Speaker 2: There there's not one player on the ice today that
38:03
Speaker 2: doesn't play in the NHL. And the teams for the
38:07
Speaker 2: two teams for sure.
38:09
Speaker 9: Because these had more professional hockey players.
38:14
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about I don't know about NHL players. Uh.
38:18
Speaker 2: And I didn't get to see, unfortunately, that Canada Chatchie game,
38:26
Speaker 2: and apparently they were within a hair's breadth of upset
38:32
Speaker 2: in Canada.
38:33
Speaker 1: But these are I mean, all these teams.
38:36
Speaker 2: It's it's amazing, you know, because these guys, all of
38:41
Speaker 2: these guys.
38:42
Speaker 1: Are are NHL players.
38:43
Speaker 2: So this is this is like Game seven kind of stuff,
38:48
Speaker 2: I guess is the best way to put it, because
38:50
Speaker 2: it is an elimination game. And by the way, there's
38:55
Speaker 2: six forty five left to play in the overtime, and
38:59
Speaker 2: I do believe they go to a shootout if nobody
39:02
Speaker 2: scores in overtime.
39:04
Speaker 9: Yes, I think they shoots.
39:06
Speaker 1: I don't like it, but that's just and that's it.
39:10
Speaker 2: The United States has advanced, Hughes has been unbelievable. A
39:17
Speaker 2: goal was six thirty three in the overtime back there.
39:21
Speaker 2: And the Americans have knocked out Sweden and they will
39:27
Speaker 2: play look at the Swedish bitch. They will play in
39:31
Speaker 2: the semifinals against Slovakia. And I think it's Saturday because
39:37
Speaker 2: the women play tomorrow for the goal the US and
39:41
Speaker 2: Canada at noon.
39:43
Speaker 9: Do you and I understood that it's going to be
39:45
Speaker 9: a great no doubt, it's going to be great, Okay, yes,
39:49
Speaker 9: but this year, right now, the US women look like
39:53
Speaker 9: the Russian national team.
39:55
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look are favored. Yeah, they are think
40:00
Speaker 1: their favorite.
40:01
Speaker 9: Finally, the only goal they have allowed was in the
40:07
Speaker 9: second period of the first game, and it was a
40:10
Speaker 9: girl coming out of the penalty box. Correct want to
40:13
Speaker 9: break away on a breakaway. She came out and the
40:16
Speaker 9: punt landed at her feet. Yeah, and she went and scored.
40:20
Speaker 1: Yeah. They've been really they've been really good.
40:22
Speaker 9: They have been amazing.
40:24
Speaker 1: Canada has been without their best player early. She is back.
40:28
Speaker 1: She has like three or four gold.
40:29
Speaker 9: Medals she scored and she scored two goals.
40:31
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I know she's really good.
40:34
Speaker 2: But I think the US should be a slight favorite
40:37
Speaker 2: tomorrow going into that one. With these four teams left
40:41
Speaker 2: now fit, I think it's Finland, Canada, the US, and Slovakia.
40:51
Speaker 2: Canada is still the favorite. By the way, Sidney cross
40:55
Speaker 2: because her day he got crushed.
41:01
Speaker 9: I thought it was back his fore him. Uh it's yep.
41:05
Speaker 2: And look, Sidney Crosby is still Sidney Crosby. But if
41:11
Speaker 2: any team can can survive not having Sidney Crosby, it's
41:16
Speaker 2: that Canada team.
41:17
Speaker 1: They're just loaded.
41:18
Speaker 11: Uh.
41:19
Speaker 2: Anyway, the US advances. What a hockey game, unbelievable hockey game.
41:25
Speaker 1: Uh.
41:25
Speaker 2: For those of you who saw the final the Four
41:28
Speaker 2: Nations game between the US and Canada last year. Uh,
41:32
Speaker 2: it wasn't quite that intense because the crowd it was is.
41:38
Speaker 2: Certainly there's a lot of US fans there and there
41:41
Speaker 2: was certainly a good portion of Swedish fans. It wasn't
41:45
Speaker 2: quite the atmosphere, but it was darn close. Well, if
41:49
Speaker 2: it's US and Canada played for the gold Sunday morning,
41:53
Speaker 2: it'll be fun. It will be fun. You there, I
41:56
Speaker 2: would think Snoopy would be there. He was there today.
42:00
Speaker 2: He's everywhere.
42:01
Speaker 12: Man.
42:01
Speaker 1: I don't know how he gets to you know, No,
42:03
Speaker 1: I know how he gets limo. Oh yeah, yeah.
42:06
Speaker 9: But I'm just saying it is crazy to me that
42:10
Speaker 9: in the last eight years that Snoop Dogg has become.
42:16
Speaker 1: So you know who. I compare this to George Foreman.
42:21
Speaker 9: Great.
42:23
Speaker 2: I compare Snoop's career rise to George Foreman. Uh. And
42:28
Speaker 2: not that Snoop was ever as sour or menacing as
42:31
Speaker 2: George Foreman.
42:32
Speaker 1: He wasn't different sport, different things.
42:35
Speaker 2: But how he has rebranded himself and what he has done, Uh.
42:41
Speaker 9: Is the nation's grandfather.
42:42
Speaker 8: Now?
42:43
Speaker 9: Yeah?
42:43
Speaker 1: Is that incredible?
42:44
Speaker 9: Yes?
42:45
Speaker 1: I mean it is incredible.
42:48
Speaker 9: Yeah, I def jam records.
42:51
Speaker 2: But you but you look at this guy and he's
42:55
Speaker 2: just a lovable goofball, right, he loves sports and he
42:59
Speaker 2: does love sports.

46:15

46:22
Speaker 9: I just got this text from my aunt and uncle. Attention, attention, attention. Okay,
46:28
Speaker 9: February eighteenth is a National Drink Wine Day. No way,
46:33
Speaker 9: celebrate responsible. Don't tell my wife that I just did.
46:37
Speaker 9: Yeah I know so, uh yeah, National drink wine Day.
46:44
Speaker 1: Nice, you know, not a wine guy, never been a
46:51
Speaker 1: wine guy.
46:52
Speaker 9: Got myself.
46:53
Speaker 2: Uh, let's I'm not We're not had to look at
46:56
Speaker 2: baseball yet. Let's little now that now that I could,
46:59
Speaker 2: I don't have to pay attention to what's going on.
47:01
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little laggie baseball and what you've seen
47:03
Speaker 2: the first four games from this team.
47:09
Speaker 9: Well, I mean Corpus came in with a lot of momentum.
47:12
Speaker 9: They beat a Northeast team pretty badly this weekend. They
47:18
Speaker 9: had beaten A and M for the first time ever
47:20
Speaker 9: last year, so they had some momentum. They were looking
47:24
Speaker 9: to make it too in a row. And you know,
47:28
Speaker 9: it's just kind of you know, they come in, they
47:34
Speaker 9: hit two home runs early and then A and M
47:36
Speaker 9: does not let that go any farther. And I thought
47:39
Speaker 9: that was very important for Gavin Lyons and then Ethan
47:43
Speaker 9: Darden later on even after so he comes in it's
47:47
Speaker 9: three to two. After AEM has taken a lead, they
47:50
Speaker 9: get a runner at third with no outs. He strikes
47:53
Speaker 9: out two guys and then gives up the tying run.
47:55
Speaker 9: But I thought it was important that it wasn't like
47:58
Speaker 9: immediately I gave up a single that got the run in.
48:00
Speaker 9: He punched out two guys that got him in the
48:03
Speaker 9: position to get out of the jam, and then A
48:05
Speaker 9: and M pushed away at the end. That was good.
48:08
Speaker 9: This weekend was good offensively. You know, on Sunday the
48:15
Speaker 9: win turns around. Yep, that's as impressive that you're able
48:18
Speaker 9: to get seven runs with seven singles and one extra
48:21
Speaker 9: base hit. You had good pitching, not your best pitching,
48:26
Speaker 9: but Weston Moss being a starter for the first time
48:30
Speaker 9: in Shane Sedeo coming off of miss season, big steps
48:34
Speaker 9: in the right direction. The key to this year's team,
48:39
Speaker 9: as I have kind of spoken at a couple times now,
48:43
Speaker 9: is they gave up. They took five losses in Tuesday
48:48
Speaker 9: night games that they shouldn't have lost last year. Okay,
48:52
Speaker 9: they won thirty games eleven and nineteen in the league,
48:56
Speaker 9: and a thirty five and nineteen record gotten them in
49:02
Speaker 9: just winning more non conference games. Yeah, because this league.
49:05
Speaker 1: You're sending the Tuesday games are pretty important.
49:07
Speaker 9: They're very important, and they have got to figure out
49:10
Speaker 9: what they're gonna do pitching wise. Gavinlines first, Blush did
49:13
Speaker 9: a great job. Ethan Darden can be a swing guy
49:16
Speaker 9: or he could be a starter. They have guys for
49:18
Speaker 9: those games. They don't play any Tuesday Wednesdays anymore. So
49:24
Speaker 9: you know it's important for that that you have an
49:27
Speaker 9: opportunity when you are playing that you make the most
49:33
Speaker 9: of it. When you're a Tuesday pitcher.
49:35
Speaker 1: You got Lamar, you got and Carnet word. You have
49:41
Speaker 1: Steven F. Austin.
49:43
Speaker 2: You have Texas State, which we know last year was
49:46
Speaker 2: pretty good.
49:47
Speaker 9: Word two years ago was two years ago. These are
49:50
Speaker 9: not just walk over games.
49:54
Speaker 8: You know.
49:54
Speaker 9: So Houston Christian has been good in the past. Now
49:58
Speaker 9: two years removed from Lance Bertman. See if they're still making.
50:02
Speaker 2: Games with the University of Houston. You've got game with
50:05
Speaker 2: UTSA UGSA do last year they were pretty good, I think.
50:11
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know, super regional team, not Texas out
50:13
Speaker 9: of the regional I think.
50:14
Speaker 8: So.
50:16
Speaker 9: I'm not saying that you have to win all those games,
50:19
Speaker 9: but most of them, but you have to win most
50:21
Speaker 9: of them. Yeah, and if you're the talented team that
50:25
Speaker 9: you have that opportunity. Penn comes in this weekend. They
50:27
Speaker 9: picked third in the in the IVY. We've seen the
50:31
Speaker 9: kind of talent that the IVY has had because it's
50:34
Speaker 9: it's going on to play you know here other places,
50:37
Speaker 9: big time talent. So, but it's their first time out.
50:42
Speaker 9: They haven't been outside. The weather up in the Northeast
50:45
Speaker 9: has been poor. Yeah, so this is gonna be their
50:47
Speaker 9: first time outside. The good thing on there is now
50:50
Speaker 9: they've got four games on the Aggies. They've seen they've
50:53
Speaker 9: got four games of tape of these players, there's not
50:56
Speaker 9: going to be any surprises, uh, and they'll have a plan.
50:59
Speaker 9: So you know, it was a step in the right direction.
51:04
Speaker 9: I think that you see why Kelner and Partita are playing,
51:09
Speaker 9: even though you could very easily have had Grahovic at
51:13
Speaker 9: third and Royo playing somewhere in the infield. U Kopian
51:18
Speaker 9: hasn't played the last two games. He's been ill, yep,
51:20
Speaker 9: but you could ad Bender up at first. There are
51:22
Speaker 9: other upperclassmen, guys with at bats that have had key
51:26
Speaker 9: roles in last year's team when they had the resurgence
51:29
Speaker 9: in the second half, that aren't playing because of the
51:31
Speaker 9: talent of the freshman it was. You know, they wanted
51:34
Speaker 9: to get Jorian Wilson on the field. Well, last night
51:37
Speaker 9: the only way to get him on the field was
51:39
Speaker 9: take Karen's keel off of it and he came in
51:41
Speaker 9: and ran late and played defense. But you know, there's
51:45
Speaker 9: a talented guy we just talking about how big and
51:48
Speaker 9: how talented and athletic and what its future is. He
51:51
Speaker 9: can't get on the field unless you're taking Jack Doer
51:55
Speaker 9: who's tearing to cover off the ball. You're not going
51:57
Speaker 9: to take Crell out of playing center field, so they
52:00
Speaker 9: have depth in the infield, in the outfield. I thought
52:03
Speaker 9: that Becker playing catcher in the third game was important.
52:08
Speaker 9: It gave Bear Harrison a chance to kind of reset,
52:12
Speaker 9: and you want to keep that catcher position fresh. So
52:16
Speaker 9: if they're going fifty to fifty or three games in
52:18
Speaker 9: one game, that doesn't surprise me. He came over from Arkansas.
52:22
Speaker 9: He's got a key role on this team because bar
52:24
Speaker 9: Harrison from the last two thirds of the season caught
52:28
Speaker 9: every game and I don't think they want to do
52:30
Speaker 9: that because they want him to be fresh offensively.
52:35
Speaker 1: Pitching. Overall, we hit on it a little bit.
52:41
Speaker 9: Really not disappointed in what they did. I think that
52:45
Speaker 9: you see fresh Corn is still a key guy down there.
52:48
Speaker 9: We still haven't seen Josh Stewart yet. That is going
52:50
Speaker 9: to be interesting to see what he is when he
52:52
Speaker 9: comes out. He was going pretty good this spring up
52:55
Speaker 9: until the last, up until the last scrimmage.
52:59
Speaker 1: Who's the closer to be well?
53:01
Speaker 9: I think you know Darden can mix in there. I
53:04
Speaker 9: think that fresh Corn mixes in there, and I think
53:07
Speaker 9: that Stuart mixes in there.
53:09
Speaker 1: So do you think do you think he'll wait to see?
53:13
Speaker 8: Uh?
53:13
Speaker 2: You know deeper in, after they've played some games, who
53:17
Speaker 2: the most consistent was, and all things being equal, he
53:22
Speaker 2: would prefer.
53:22
Speaker 1: To have a guy come in.
53:25
Speaker 2: Now you need more, you need more than one because
53:27
Speaker 2: you're playing weekend series in the SEC.
53:29
Speaker 9: But but last year, with the injuries that they took
53:32
Speaker 9: in the bullpen, they never had that opportunity to really
53:36
Speaker 9: have one guy. It was done as a committee. So
53:39
Speaker 9: I'm not going to speak to UH coach Kelly and
53:42
Speaker 9: see exactly what he wants to have happen. UH, But
53:46
Speaker 9: you know, I think you have those guys that have experience.
53:50
Speaker 9: You have freshmen that maybe you can see in the
53:53
Speaker 9: Tuesdays and the middle innings if one of them, if
53:56
Speaker 9: if they've got that mentality to to get it done.
53:59
Speaker 9: And then I thought last night Vargas, who had come
54:02
Speaker 9: over from Tennessee Tech and didn't pitch against his old
54:05
Speaker 9: team last year, came in and was a mid nineties
54:07
Speaker 9: guy with some stuff and through a good inning himself.
54:11
Speaker 9: So you know, they've they've got They're they're not they're
54:16
Speaker 9: not deficient at talent wise at any of these positions. Chip, Okay,
54:21
Speaker 9: I mean this, it's it's you need to stay healthy
54:25
Speaker 9: a copy and needs to be on the on the field.
54:28
Speaker 9: There's a reason why he's a preseason All American. You
54:32
Speaker 9: you can't have like last year where you only had
54:34
Speaker 9: one of your preseasons All American playing all year long.
54:37
Speaker 9: So that's why they're being cautious with Kobean.
54:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh Man.
54:42
Speaker 2: As many conference games as you play, you don't have
54:46
Speaker 2: a lot of time to get to get ready.
54:48
Speaker 1: No, there's three weeks.
54:49
Speaker 9: March thirteen was the biggest surprise after last week in Arlington.
54:55
Speaker 9: They sweep those three games. They beat TCU, they beat Tech,
54:58
Speaker 9: and they beat Oklahoma State, and they were the big
55:01
Speaker 9: riser in the polls this week. And then you have
55:05
Speaker 9: the preseason number one and expect a national champion UCLA
55:09
Speaker 9: up in Arlington in two weeks. And you know, and
55:13
Speaker 9: you've got Arizona State in that tournament, Virginia Tech. Those
55:16
Speaker 9: have been NCAA regional super regional teams for a long time.
55:22
Speaker 1: So yeah, and they need to play those games and then.
55:25
Speaker 9: But I like it I talked to last at the
55:28
