1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: All start to you to present off the bench. This

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:05,440
is what we have been waiting for.

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:09,279
Speaker 2: Off the bench. I gotta come off the fitch.

4
00:00:09,439 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester. All right, welcome back in OTV.

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,839
Here on a Friday morning. The gang's all here now.

6
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:29,320
Flynn showed up on time. So proud of him. He's

7
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:32,159
really growing up as he's almost forty years old. Coming

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:32,759
up here.

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,079
Speaker 3: Let's see twenty days, twenty eight days, right, I got

10
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:41,280
my math right, June twentieth.

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: Let's see. He sounds about right. I got to I

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,320
don't know how many days are.

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,359
Speaker 1: Problem Like Harlowe had my watch yesterday and she loves

14
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:53,520
playing with my watch. But the problem is she did

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,520
something that I don't know how to reverse on it.

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,759
And I usually had the date like right here. I

17
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:01,560
don't know what in the world he did. I can't

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,000
and I can't get back. I can't figure it out.

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,000
I can't figure how to get back to the page

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,599
that I want to.

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,239
Speaker 2: So you'll get it.

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,359
Speaker 1: We looked it up during the break. Colt McCoy did

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,079
have stars.

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 3: He had three, like I was listening to Colt talk

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,560
and I came in here just Colin b.

26
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: S on him.

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: You did, but Colt's like so nice.

28
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: At that time, they had just come off of Natty.

29
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: He's oh five, so they won that year. Yeah, yeah,

30
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:27,280
they're going to win.

31
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: Well they did win a national championship.

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: He always acts like you did five.

33
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So like you're not signing with Texas at that

34
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:39,200
time without a star. I heard him say that, and

35
00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:40,519
I was like, no way.

36
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,719
Speaker 1: You say that. But the class before I almost signed

37
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:44,599
with him as a two star.

38
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: Well at least that's two. At least it's terrible.

39
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: But he had three. They he probably had two. And

40
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,159
then as these recruiting services, do they give you another?

41
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,599
Why they why? They like, do you all? I think

42
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:00,439
we see that, we know what you're in. By the way,

43
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:02,840
it was seventy third in the state of Texas, fifteenth

44
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:05,400
quarterback overall. But we know you're doing that.

45
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like if you're seventy third in Texas, you get

46
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:09,360
a star.

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially back then where it wasn't you didn't have

48
00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:17,280
all the access to the footage, the clips, the high school.

49
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,120
So these high school I guess recruiting services were going

50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,639
out and physically watching football games.

51
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: Maybe they couldn't make it up.

52
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know where that did you find it's

53
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:31,560
just south of but I mean his his offers, his

54
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,919
best offers. Texas obviously, but Georgia Tech, k State, Missoo, Purdue,

55
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:41,599
A and m It's not terrible. I mean, but like

56
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:44,120
going back to these recruiting services, I think you're.

57
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: The West who was who? But you? You were so

58
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,400
you were committed to Texas.

59
00:02:47,759 --> 00:02:50,599
Speaker 1: Oh I was a class before though, Yeah.

60
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:55,719
Speaker 3: Like what when you were recruited by Texas? Where else

61
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,719
at the time? Did you have offers or did they

62
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,159
just like dumpster diving for you?

63
00:02:59,199 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: Low start?

64
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: This guy's got one more star and thinks he's cool.

65
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,000
I had Miami, I had Auburn, had Oklahoma.

66
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:12,159
Speaker 3: So that's the thing I don't understand is how were

67
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,280
these recruiting services not giving people at the time like.

68
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,759
Speaker 2: Pretty good college mac Brown done pretty decent.

69
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, ruiting services. That's why I like still to this day,

70
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:29,039
and they've gotten better and there's more, there's more footage

71
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:31,560
out there. It's easier like back in the day, like

72
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:34,599
you're just like you're pissing in the wind and it's

73
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,159
like what are we doing here? Like you't even know

74
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:40,879
who I am because my Vhaes tape that I've got

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,840
Triple Hus theme music over trying to act hard has

76
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,400
not found its way to you yet. I went to

77
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,439
Nike camp my sophomore year and got underclassmen of the

78
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:54,000
camp and so like I thought, man, I'm doing something.

79
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,159
I'm about to get like all these star wars and

80
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,439
you give me too short legs, pumping, pumping hard, so

81
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,879
hard I had. I'm sure I had frosted tips. That

82
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,800
impressed them. They listened to lf on the way into

83
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,520
the camp, are like, he looks like he's a member

84
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,080
of LFO.

85
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,759
Speaker 2: Hey Mac, mac Mac is it? Is it a Puka

86
00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:15,919
show necklace? Offer him off. That guy's hard.

87
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: What are we doing? It was at A and M.

88
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,639
Speaker 3: It was when they had the old astro turf, like

89
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:20,920
actual astro turf.

90
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,199
Speaker 1: It was hot as hell.

91
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,639
Speaker 3: The hottest I've ever been in my life was at

92
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:28,399
that Narcy in College station.

93
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,879
Speaker 2: So that turf field sucked.

94
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: It was bad.

95
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: So we had multiple like.

96
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,879
Speaker 3: Seven on seven tournaments that culminated at Texas A.

97
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: And I didn't know that they had that cave. I

98
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,680
didn't know they had that. So like I only brought

99
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,839
cleats and they're like no, no, no, no, And so all

100
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,920
I had was. I had Rebok Classics and that's what

101
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,720
I worked out and ran the forty and did the

102
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,240
whole deal in Rebok Classics.

103
00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: What camp was that?

104
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,079
Speaker 1: Nike Camp?

105
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: Okay, so we were at the same Nike camp we were, Yeah,

106
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,959
for sure was run.

107
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, But you know what, you didn't get

108
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,480
Underclassmen of the Camp and I did.

109
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:04,759
Speaker 3: And you were a junior. I was a sophomore. How

110
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,800
does that make you feel? That's not even an award.

111
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,680
They just told you that it was vacation.

112
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: When I say, Nancy Hester, if you're listening right now,

113
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:16,720
you probably have that saved somewhere because you.

114
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,079
Speaker 3: Do things like is it like a paper certificate? No,

115
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,920
it's in a publication. It was Nike Camp, College Station

116
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:25,879
tex Journal. No, that's not a thing.

117
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: Underclassmen of Camp, your boy, your boy three or four times?

118
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,879
By the way, is the paper? You grew up in

119
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,680
a place that probably didn't even have their own paper,

120
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,199
like y'all have Dallas's paper delivered to your doorstep.

121
00:05:40,439 --> 00:05:41,959
Speaker 2: Tyler Morning Telegraph, Son.

122
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:46,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big publication. I remember that one.

123
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: It's not hard to forget, oh yeah, Tyler Morning Telegraph.

124
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've always forgot it.

125
00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 4: I already forgot it.

126
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,519
Speaker 2: I got They had some great articles still.

127
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:00,639
Speaker 4: Do name one.

128
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:04,639
Speaker 1: Did you get Texas?

129
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: By the way, I did not, ah nerd.

130
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: It was the year after they signed Vincy Young. I

131
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,240
didn't even watch. I didn't want it.

132
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: They knew they was just pissing in the wind. I

133
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,680
didn't even want it. I did.

134
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,959
Speaker 3: I really wanted to get offered by Tennessee. Really in

135
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,519
high school, that is where I wanted to go as

136
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,560
like an underclassman case fan.

137
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,399
Speaker 2: Uh.

138
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:28,519
Speaker 3: So I went to when I was a sophomore. My

139
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:31,639
best friend in high school was committed to Alabama. He

140
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:34,079
was a year older than me, offensive lineman. And so

141
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,199
I went to a game. It's either my sophomore or

142
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,199
junior year. I went to a game and it was

143
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:47,720
Tennessee versus Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Casey Clawson thrown to Jason

144
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,000
Whitten like, so I was there with Alabama like on

145
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,399
the field doing all the stuff, and I was like,

146
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,279
this is the most unbelievable experience.

147
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: Of my life. Like because I had grown up a

148
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Baylor fan. Whole family went there.

149
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: My dad play quarterback there, So I grew up going

150
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,680
to wake there like every single home game the old

151
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,959
Floyd Ksey Stadium. Baylor football is what I knew as

152
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,439
college football. And I show up the Tuscaloosa for Tennessee

153
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,279
visiting Alabama. Now I look around and I'm, you know,

154
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,399
fifteen years old whatever, like just trying to make it

155
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:20,759
in high school football, trying to be.

156
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,319
Speaker 2: A starter there.

157
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's like all the RVs, like the whole

158
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:27,959
you know, you get it. I was like, what the

159
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,759
hell is this? Right know, Baylor but completely different.

160
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: I mean, completely different situation.

161
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,439
Speaker 3: So I go there and I'm at the game and like, yep,

162
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:40,839
SEC is where I'm going to play football if I

163
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:44,199
have the opportunity. But then I hear you're gonna You're

164
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:46,439
gonna kill me for this. But like I fell in

165
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,959
love with Rocky Rockey, top I did?

166
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:50,279
Speaker 1: Who are you?

167
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: I know? I don't know.

168

Speaker 3: Never I go back home, and you know, that was

169
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,879
big into like the early days of NCAA football. So

170
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,160
like everybody on the ball team, we'd all get together,

171
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,480

172
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,759

Speaker 1: Six times a game.

177
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: And you know, back then, like you would have trash

178
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:26,759
bags full of recruiting envelopes questionnaires from every single country,

179
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:28,920

They watched the tape. They watched the tape.

195
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't believe it.

196
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: They didn't love it.

197
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,159
Speaker 2: I kept every day I got my locker, I'm looking

198
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,159

199
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: You know who they they were. You know their number

200
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:16,840
one target was actually my high school quarterback the same year,

201
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:19,639
John David Booty. Yeah, I was like, oh he was

202
00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:23,600
the year after me, I know, but remember he reclassified oh.

203
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he wasn't twenty one yet and he got.

204
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: It, so he actually went in your class.

205
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 3: Well, most of the seniors at evangel Or League, they can

206
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,799
legally drink, right, yeah, yeah, obviously, and we're driving in

207
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,720
eighth grade and there's no doubt about it. Actually, yeah,

208
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,840
that's not that used to be fifteen. It used to

209
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:47,159
be fifteen. Oh Texas A and m offer yeah, okay,

210
00:09:47,159 --> 00:09:50,720
because they had Reggie McNeil. Okay, look so uh A

211
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,559
and m offered and I can't I guess it was

212
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,440
our c selok at the time, I can't remember. Dino

213
00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:59,639
Babers was oc oh wow. And they had and Drew

214
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,120
Yeah eight if you remember that. Yeah, the guy that

215
00:10:02,159 --> 00:10:05,080
beat us, the guy that quarterback, So he.

216
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:06,759
Speaker 1: Was deeper than the deepest guys.

217
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 3: He was Baytown League quarterback. We were the same, and

218
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,080
I was Tyler League quarterback. But he threw it like

219
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,240
sixty times a game. I threw like six. So he

220
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:17,360
was like the all everything. Like most lists, he was

221
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,039
like the number one in Texas. I was like the

222
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,000
number two or three or whatever. He'd been committed since

223
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:28,600
a sophomore in high school and M. Yeah, and at

224
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:32,000
that time that wasn't a thing like you didn't commit

225
00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:36,039
that and so yeah, and I remember Dino Baber's looking

226
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:37,799
at me in the eye to camp. We're like, yeah,

227
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,279
you're You're definitely behind Drew on our list. And I

228
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:42,720
was like, okay, cool, well I'm in.

229
00:10:42,759 --> 00:10:43,919
Speaker 1: A great recruiting.

230
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: He's like, we're not going to offer you.

231
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: But then, uh, who was it FRANCIONI went from So

232
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,600
he was one of my first offers at Alabama, was

233
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:56,279
one of my first offers. Franoni really wanted me, and

234
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,080
so he went over to Texas A and M and

235
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,679
took the job. Yep, when we were getting recruited right

236
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,200
before but not too long before signing day for our class,

237
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,759
right and I remember watching the press conference and he's

238
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:10,639
sitting there doing the press conference, doing the whole deal,

239
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,039
like accepting the job. He gets done with the press

240
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,399
conference in like thirty seconds later, my phone rings and

241
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,679
he was he.

242
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: Was calling me from backstage. Yeah, he was like, yeah,

243
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,360
I want you to be the quarterback. He's like, yeah,

244
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,600
we just took the took the other.

245
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: Scholarship away, Oh wow from Drew.

246
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,159
Speaker 2: I don't know if they took it away.

247
00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: But I'm not trying to be funny, like there's a

248
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,679
reason why he ended up in Iowa.

249
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: Wait, what year was Reggie McNeil?

250
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:31,399
Speaker 2: Then?

251
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: Was he not your year from Luff?

252
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: No, Reggie McNeil was old.

253
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: He was a year older than Oh okay, because we

254
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,799
played against him a bunch at high school.

255
00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:38,519
Speaker 2: What a stud?

256
00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, he picked me off three times in a high

257
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,120
school game. I caught him from behind in high school.

258
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:47,120
True story was he hurt. Had to be good, lord,

259
00:11:47,159 --> 00:11:48,879
you were You're kind of fat too, right.

260
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,759
Speaker 1: That was a two fifty. I was out there chugging.

261
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,159
Actually that year. I was playing a little linebacker. But

262
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,120
he was a stud. We played them on like the

263
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,440
after September eleventh and one. We were like one of

264
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,679
the first live sporting events to play really yeah, like

265
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,279
Texas high school football shocker, Like we go to Lufkin.

266
00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:16,039
They turned the heat on in the locker room September

267
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,080
in Texas, East Texas, so like hotter than hot. We

268
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,799
got people cramping up. I was like, man, gosh, our

269
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:24,519
country's kind of going through some stuff. Y'all want to

270
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:28,759
like not be you know, yeah, like the heads please

271
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,519
we beat them.

272
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,879
Speaker 2: Though there we go. We beat them. They were tough, So.

273
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: Y'all were the only team that was scared to play us.

274
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:38,240
We played Lufkin, Longview, Marshall, Dallas, Carter played all those

275
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,080
teams except y'all John Tyler.

276
00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:46,279
Speaker 3: So, so listen to the district I was in. It

277
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:48,519
used to be so it was six teams, but it

278
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,799
dropped down to four and it was just Tyler, Lee,

279
00:12:51,919 --> 00:12:54,519
John Tyler, Lufkin, and Longview. And for like those people

280
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:57,000
down here that don't really realize that that's like four

281
00:12:57,279 --> 00:12:57,759
at the time.

282
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: Huge our listeners in the Ports City right now definitely get.

283
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,799
Speaker 3: We had so we had sixty one signings on my

284
00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:07,679
team that year. John Tyler had three that signed with

285
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,159
the University of Texas. On their defense, Lufkin had, you know,

286
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,399
Reggie McNeil, parents Terrence the quarter he was quarterback for

287
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,840
Baylor for a couple of years. All of you had

288
00:13:19,879 --> 00:13:24,399
the tight end that went to Florida, Malcolm.

289
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:25,279
Speaker 2: Kelly.

290
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,159
Speaker 3: They had their quarterback was the quarterback at Rice University.

291
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,600
For like, we had a and we played a double

292
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,120
round robins. We just like kept beating up on each other.

293
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,159
Speaker 1: I was about to say, only four teams, How did

294
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:38,279
that work out in conference.

295
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,879
Speaker 3: Take Casey's long view, it's not a big deal. Six

296
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,360
that would have been a big deal. They lost the

297
00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:48,559
long deal there.

298
00:13:49,279 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: Have you all ever heard Malcolm Kelly's freestyle?

299
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: Know? I have? I when he was at Oklahoma? Yeah,

300
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:57,679
can we play that?

301
00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 4: Is it?

302
00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,879
Speaker 1: Guy language?

303
00:13:59,879 --> 00:14:01,919
Speaker 4: And I don't think it has because he was doing

304
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:03,399
it in front well, I guess it doesn't matter, but

305
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,279
he was doing it in front of coach.

306
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: Goodiest Texas boy. He wouldn't have curse words in it.

307
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: I think he probably would.

308
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 4: I mean I think I mentioned him one time and

309
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:13,840
everybody was like, how do you know who Malcolm that is?

310
00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: That is a deep cut for you. We played them

311
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:20,399
in Independent Stadium one time. Dude's like, like forty thousand

312
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:21,480
people in to a high school game.

313
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,679
Speaker 1: Jeez, Actually did we win that or we losing? I

314
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:26,720
think we actually lost. We lost that game.

315
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:30,639
Speaker 3: I remember being in eighth grade going to watch evangel

316
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:34,399
playing Tyler against John Tyler with Brock Berlin.

317
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:36,399
Speaker 2: And it was the.

318
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,399
Speaker 3: Most euphoric, like mind blowing experience I've ever seen for

319
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,799
a quarterback. For a quarterback to go watch this seven

320
00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:50,000
yard shot gun plus a seven step drop. But we

321
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,720
were probably, Honestly, I'm not trying to be funny. Probably

322
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,080
more of a ten yard. It might have been, like

323
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,159
I wanted to say nine when before I started that sentence,

324
00:14:58,159 --> 00:14:59,799
but I dropped it down to seven to be like.

325
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: No, we didn't have offensive line.

326
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,039
Speaker 2: He would throw for three hundred yards in the first half.

327
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and from a quarterback like a middle school quarterback

328
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:10,120
that did a three step like dump pass to the

329
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:10,639
tight end.

330
00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: Once a game.

331
00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:16,679
Speaker 3: I was like, what the hell, Yeah, am I'm watching

332
00:15:16,799 --> 00:15:17,200
right now?

333
00:15:17,399 --> 00:15:20,399
Speaker 2: So this is the greatest court. Like Troy Aikman's good.

334
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,759
Speaker 1: That's why we were exactly good. But Brock Berlin, but

335
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:27,519
Brock Burlyin. That's why we were so good. We had

336
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:30,879
great coaches, like we had former offensive coordinators from Louisiana Tech,

337
00:15:30,919 --> 00:15:34,360
decordinators from Louisiana Monroe, like at the high school level.

338
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,080
And also we were doing this offense and nobody else did.

339
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,000
Nobody was five y back in the late nineties. We were.

340
00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:44,679
Speaker 3: John Tyler won five state champions in the nineties that

341
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,639
ran up into that game because it's like two thousand

342
00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:52,320
probably when I and so like, they were the powerhouse,

343
00:15:53,039 --> 00:15:55,639
but they never threw the ball one time. Yeah, like

344
00:15:55,679 --> 00:15:58,080
they would run like scat eight, scat nine, and like

345
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,480
they it was like this weird like pitch where they

346
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,240
would spin it underhand to the to the tailback going

347
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,600
as fast as and they had like nine great running

348
00:16:05,639 --> 00:16:09,519
backs all the time, so they were fresh. They I

349
00:16:09,559 --> 00:16:12,600
can only imagine what their defensive coordinator a head coach

350
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:15,519
were doing during that game, like trying to prepare for

351
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:20,120
it for one with like their scout team quarterback somehow

352
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,679
that never throws the ball, and they just got blown.

353
00:16:24,559 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: Out of the stadium. Yeah.

354
00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:30,879
Speaker 3: I was sitting there just with like my draw my

355
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,279
jaw on the ground, and I looked over my dad doing.

356
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: The same thing, like should it just come all over?

357
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:37,159
Speaker 2: No, y'all didn't.

358
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,799
Speaker 3: Y'all didn't block, chop block or anything. So it wasn't

359
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:45,960
real football. So for the listeners that didn't haven't heard,

360
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,720
our coaches could never agree to play each other because

361
00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:52,240
our offense had a lot of like chop blocking and throwing,

362
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,480
and their offenses they were a little weak here in Louisiana, sure, Bud, Sure.

363
00:16:58,919 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: So they were scared. They were scared to come to Tyler,

364
00:17:01,039 --> 00:17:01,840
is what I'm trying to say.

365
00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:03,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, we went to Longview we went to Lufkin, and

366
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:08,240
we went to Marshall, but scared to go to Flynn.

367
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,799
We pulled up the USA Today article where your coach?

368
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:11,839
Speaker 2: Here you go?

369
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,079
Speaker 3: An article wrote written by who USA Today.

370
00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a person behind that keyboard.

371
00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: My gosh, Daniel said, Damn Jake really be from Dallas

372
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,440
having played all these Texas high schools.

373
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: Uh not really? Like I look, it's better than me

374
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,640
and reports Louisiana. But here's the deal. You shut your mouth.

375
00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:36,640
Here's the deal. Okay, Like none of those schools in

376
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,599
Louisiana wanted to play us.

377
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,759
Speaker 1: They wouldn't play us West Monroe. I give you a

378
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:43,119
lot of credit you did, like you played this now

379
00:17:43,559 --> 00:17:46,799
we won all those games except one, but you played

380
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:48,759
us and it was good. Battles was back and forth,

381
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,240
like John Curtis Catholic, all the New Orleans schools.

382
00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: Man, we could not get a game like Rummel would

383
00:17:56,759 --> 00:17:59,400
play us some A little bit was that in the postseason.

384
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,599
I don't know, but like we couldn't get those games.

385
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: And like in the Shreveport area, we like there wasn't

386
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,319
another real powerhouse like Bird was okay, but there wasn't that.

387
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,720
So we had to go play Washitall and Neville and

388
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:15,799
West Monroe and those teams, and then like nobody from

389
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,720
south of Alexandria would play us.

390
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,759
Speaker 3: They just they wouldn't. So we had to go play

391
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:26,880
East Texas. What was the what was the best team

392
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,599
that I played in East Texas? I think it's Long

393
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,720
VIEWEWO was really good. Lobos, Yeah, and they always had

394
00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:38,039
they had a ton of D one guys all the time.

395
00:18:38,839 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: It didn't really matter. Now we played like.

396
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 2: Yo, yall yell.

397
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,039
Speaker 3: Was just a weird, bad matchup, Like it's not a

398
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:47,759
fun It's like scheduling a really good triple option team,

399
00:18:47,839 --> 00:18:50,400
Like why would you do it? Especially at that time

400
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,920
they were doing something. There's no way to prep for it, right,

401
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,240
it's just like, let's see what happens out here again

402
00:18:57,319 --> 00:18:59,839
because nobody did it. Yeah, like you're playing your service academy.

403
00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:01,240
Now you're like, why did we schedule this?

404
00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, it's the same. That's why people didn't play.

405
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,319
Speaker 1: But yeah, John Curtis beat evangel multiple times in the

406
00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:15,200
playoffs in the nineties. They did not. They didn't. You

407
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:19,119
can't find that because that did not happen. I think

408
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,400
we played them opening game in nineteen ninety nine, we

409
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,319
beat him there. I think that was the first matchup.

410
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:26,720
But that that's just false, like that didn't that didn't happen.

411
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,759
Speaker 3: To be fair, most of the Catholic League schools didn't

412
00:19:30,759 --> 00:19:32,279
play outside of the city very often.

413
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: Romo and Curtis were the only ones that really did it.

414
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,039
Maybe that's maybe that's why I don't know. Streetport equals

415
00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:41,000
South Arkansas's closer to Texas, and it is Arkansas. And

416
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:43,960
in fact, bet Rouge is closer to Mississippi than Shreveport

417
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,680
is to Arkansas. So there's that Streetport is the Yanks

418
00:19:47,799 --> 00:19:53,279
of LA. Sure, because we're up north, that Streeport would

419
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:54,400
be East Texas.

420
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,519
Speaker 2: But we didn't want them. We don't block quarterback for

421
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,759
long of you back then? Armstrong, how's his name?

422
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,079
Speaker 1: That's the whole That's what you've been trying to figure

423
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,440
out all my head. Okay, good player.

424
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,319
Speaker 3: Uh. Those old evangel teams usually played a few out

425
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,759
of state teams a year. My senior year we played

426
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:17,519
daily South California, Hoover, Alabama, Burns South Carolina.

427
00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:19,079
Speaker 2: Y'all play that your senior year?

428
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? None, which ones y'all travel to California?

429
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: How y'all.

430
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,079
Speaker 1: We lost twenty that is that where they were on

431
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:28,920
the team.

432
00:20:30,839 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 3: Game winus streak. They know we're long, we gotta take

433
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,680
a break. They like they didn't have Jimmy's and Joe's

434
00:20:37,759 --> 00:20:40,480
like that. But what they had is they were all

435
00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:44,880
in unison, like their offense and defense. Whatever the coach said, Hey,

436
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,599
this is what.

437
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: We're going to do. It was like perfection. They were

438
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,240
the old school Flynn. They were the down hut and

439
00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:55,200
they all went in every movement, every play. I was like,

440
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:57,359
what in the pop Warner are we watching here?

441
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 2: But it worked for them.

442
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,599
Speaker 1: They were solid, Pa, Yes, yes, they were solid. So yeah,

443
00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:06,359
we beat I think it was twenty four or fourteen,

444
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,319
might be twenty four to ten. That wasn't our best year.

445
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,640
Like we lost in the state championship that year. We

446
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,200
didn't have a normal quarterback like we normally would have.

447
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 4: But what was your uh oh wait, hold on, what

448
00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:21,519
was your classification? Like three A?

449
00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were five. Ay, we'll try that.

450
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,319
Speaker 3: There was a different rule back then, right, you had

451
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:28,519
to play you didn't have that many.

452
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,079
Speaker 2: People in school.

453
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: We were one a size, one a size, but you

454
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,559
could play up. I think that rules back now you

455
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:35,079
can play up. They tried too.

456
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: I know it's a lot, it's challenging.

457
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:41,559
Speaker 1: It was a lot. Go South. You know you can't

458
00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:45,359
find John Curtis and Evangel. That's not gonna happen. My god,

459
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,799
I don't really know. I don't I don't.

460
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 4: Remember Evangel in nineteen ninety two Evangel versus Plain Dealing,

461
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:53,400
y'all won that one.

462
00:21:53,319 --> 00:21:55,759
Speaker 1: Plaine Deally and then y'all won against.

463
00:21:55,559 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 4: Crowville in the regionals quarterfinals against Oak Grove Beach on

464
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:01,359
the quarterfinals.

465
00:22:01,759 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: I was like, that was like earlier days of Evangels.

466
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,079
I might have been like the first year they played football.

467
00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:09,480
We'll do the research. We'll come back more. OTV here

angel and John Curtis played so many times. I was like,

496
00:24:01,319 --> 00:24:04,640
in the two thousands, look full disclosure. It's not a secret.

497
00:24:05,079 --> 00:24:08,440
When I got done at Evangel on three, I haven't

498
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,680
been back since like since then, really rude, may well,

499
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,400
I mean, just haven't you don't really like, Oh, I

500
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,359
don't care respect for where you came from. Well, I

501
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,559
mean I left and then I don't. I never really

502
00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:25,680
went back to Shrevepard, And you know, I tell the

503
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,559
story often Denver Broncos coach fox up there, trying to

504
00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:31,519
make a point of everybody's been the man at some

505
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,920
point in their career. Raise your hand if your high

506
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,359
school jersey isn't retired. And it was me and the punter.

507
00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:43,319
The punter, the punter, wow uh Colquit was his name, Tennessee.

508
00:24:43,319 --> 00:24:45,240
There's a lot of people lying then, for sure.

509
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,079
Speaker 3: But still I look around, everybody's got their hand up,

510
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,359
and Foxy was just trying to make a point. I'm like,

511
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,519
damn Angel, although I think the only number that is

512
00:24:55,599 --> 00:25:00,880
retired for Evangel is Josh Booty the ten, not Brock Berlin.

513
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,759
Speaker 1: I know Rock Berlin, National Player of the Year Man,

514
00:25:06,319 --> 00:25:10,599
USA Today, Player of the Year, Gatorade Player of the

515
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,839
Year in the Nation, brought Berlin day in.

516
00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:18,079
Speaker 3: Shreveport after he won the award, and number seven's not retired.

517
00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:20,319
Speaker 2: That's pretty unbelievable.

518
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: I was.

519
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,759
Speaker 3: I was the highest a long time, like sixty ninth overall.

520
00:25:25,799 --> 00:25:29,599
They who beat it, Tillary, I think was his name

521
00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:32,400
from Notre Dame. He was a first rounder. But can

522
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,079
we get to thirteen? Can we get that game retired

523
00:25:35,519 --> 00:25:37,000
as your jersey retired at Tayland.

524
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 2: No, I wasn't even first team All district? Why do

525
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,400
you think? Why do you think I remember Joel Armstrong's name?

526
00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:49,519
Speaker 1: You weren't first team All district in high school?

527
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,279
Speaker 2: Like, look, I think all the issue.

528
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,559
Speaker 3: You give me for being a two star recruit and

529
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,000
you weren't even first team All district. I was a

530
00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:01,480
state player of the year in five A and you

531
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:03,920
give me hell not so subtle brag.

532
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: Well, I have to with you, and you weren't all district.

533
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,359
You show up in your all dis you put your

534
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,920
name on the front of the sheet in your all district.

535
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: We played real teams.

536
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 3: It sounds like, yeah, because us traveling to California to

537
00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:22,799
play a team that was one sixty five and oh

538
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,079
wasn't a real team?

539
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,039
Speaker 2: We can we go forward, can travel to play.

540
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,759
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, not even all district? Were you second team?

541
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,839
Were you honorable mention?

542
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:31,839
Speaker 2: That's a good question.

543
00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:34,559
Speaker 1: I actually team in your district. I did you know

544
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:35,359
how hard that is?

545
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:35,519
Speaker 2: Not?

546
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: To make it?

547
00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: What we had good teams. That's the ball eight times

548
00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:41,799
a game. What do you want? What do you want

549
00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:42,359
from me? M?

550
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,079
Speaker 1: I want you to be first team All District?

551
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,559
Speaker 2: Do you think I should call them?

552
00:26:50,839 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: All?

553
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:52,799
Speaker 2: Right, let's get a recount?

554
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 3: Uh?

555
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: How about this stab by the way? Because I can't

556
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,000
believe that I'm embarrassed for you, I'm gonna move on

557
00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:02,200
from that. See here's a fun fact I found out

558
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,319
about the Curtis versus evangel rivalry. From two thousand and

559
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,640
seven to twenty and thirteen, the only playoff game losses

560
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,319
each team had was to each other. Curtis was thirty

561
00:27:14,319 --> 00:27:16,480
one and two and Evangel was twenty six and five.

562
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:18,559
That's pretty impressive.

563
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.

564
00:27:20,599 --> 00:27:22,559
Speaker 3: And I didn't mean like a bunch of pillow fights

565
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:25,480
up there, Mark? What is in Curtis is in New

566
00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:26,440
Orleans area?

567
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: I know.

568
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things going against you. Today. We

569
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,680
played every team in your district outside of y'all. Y'all

570
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,039
think we were just scared of the team that didn't

571
00:27:38,039 --> 00:27:40,200
have a quarterback on the first team All District.

572
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: And become and because like what some twenty four year

573
00:27:44,519 --> 00:27:47,039
old mouth breather wrote an article about it, You think

574
00:27:47,079 --> 00:27:48,279
that we were the ones.

575
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 2: That were scared.

576
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,279
Speaker 1: Do you think there's a twenty four year old writing

577
00:27:50,279 --> 00:27:51,160
for USA today.

578
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 3: Probably No, just trying to cut his teeth, trying to

579
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,000
make a splash by creating lies and false propaganda.

580
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,319
Speaker 1: Oh what did the quarterback? They got first team All District?

581
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,160
What did he become?

582
00:28:08,039 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 2: Uh? He was the quarterback of Rice for a couple

583
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,240
of years.

584
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 3: Okay, he was the long View quarterback all right, all right,

585
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:16,640
so I probably played against him.

586
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, So, Yeah, he's a good player. He is

587
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:21,960
good runner, you know.

588
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:25,839
Speaker 1: Uh, we are somewhat joking up here about that, although

589
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,000
I am embarrassed for you. I'll never forget this. When

590
00:28:30,039 --> 00:28:34,799
I first got the l s U, like nobody, nobody

591
00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:39,440
from North Louisiana signed that year, and nobody really from

592
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,920
my high school our area was here outside of like

593
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,920
one one or two players, right, so I didn't know

594
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,519
a whole lot of people. So I'm, you know, trying

595
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:49,359
to hang out with everybody, see who I can click

596
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,240
with whatever whatever, And Ali Bruce Star was in the

597
00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:54,960
running back room, and I was like, man, it's gonna

598
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,799
be cool, Like Justin just had a big year. Ali

599
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,359
had a big year. Shyrone Joe like great running back room.

600
00:29:00,759 --> 00:29:03,720
And the first thing Ali Brustard said to me was like, man,

601
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:05,799
they stole five A Player of the Year from me,

602
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,759
Like you didn't deserve it. It should have been me. And

603
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:12,440
I was like, nice to meet you, hey, p Literally

604
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:17,000
the first thing is teammate right out of the gates.

605
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,920
So I had that that day. And then also my

606
00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:23,200
good friend Sean Jordan and we both know love sj.

607
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,960
We played the same position like when I first got

608
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,440
here because I was gonna go play fullback. I wasn't

609
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,200
playing running ba until my junior year and straight face

610
00:29:32,279 --> 00:29:34,559
because you like, I had played receiver at evangel So

611
00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:36,759
I was like, yeah, was two of five, two ten

612
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:38,839
like and I had to you know, it's gonna have

613
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,640
to gain weight. And I knew that. But Sja comes

614
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,960
up to me, He's like, hey, man, what's going on

615
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:43,359
with your name?

616
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: I'm telling me.

617
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: He goes, all right, well what position you play? Kicker? No, brouh.

618
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,720
We played the same position.

619
00:29:50,759 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 3: Bro'm a two star fullback slash defensive lineman slash receiver

620
00:29:55,839 --> 00:29:59,119
like oh and he was so genuine like it wasn't

621
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,720
shade because if you know, like, oh yeah, he doesn't

622
00:30:01,799 --> 00:30:05,200
know sports like that, Like he doesn't follow recruiting rankings

623
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,200
like s. J's just like I'm big, I'm strong, I'm

624
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,440
a badass. I can block, yeah, but I can be

625
00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:14,359
like so nice because I know I can't destroy you exactly.

626
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,559
He thought I was a kicker straight up. It's like

627
00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:19,599
we're actually competing for the same job.

628
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: He's like, nah, He's like, are you sure that can't

629
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:26,839
be right?

630
00:30:27,039 --> 00:30:30,119
Speaker 1: Yeah? It was. And back then you didn't have like

631
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,559
the training table like they have now. Like now you

632
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,720
go over there and it's like everything's broken down and

633
00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:39,079
everybody's got like their set of supplements that they take,

634
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,200
and everybody's got their drink that they take, and it's

635
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,359
all labeled by name.

636
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 3: For us, it's like we're going to the Pentagon. The

637
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,640
Pentagon missed. Alphine's gonna be there.

638
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got fried chicken, we got fried pork chops.

639
00:30:50,279 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 3: Yet fried fish and corn bread muffins was a soggy

640
00:30:53,799 --> 00:30:57,720
salad in the corner watching your way, Yeah, but I

641
00:30:57,759 --> 00:31:00,960
had to gain corn bread muffins they elite, but I

642
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,920
had to gain weight, and so like there wasn't like,

643
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,839
hey you eat you know, two grilled chickens.

644
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: Here a steak here, blah blah blah. Moffet's like, hey,

645
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:09,640
we got the Bluebell ice cream in the corner at

646
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,200
the Pentagon. Yep, I want you.

647
00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:13,839
Speaker 3: To get three scoops of Bluebell ice cream every day

648
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:14,720
after your meal.

649
00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:17,559
Speaker 1: And that was the plan for me to gain weight.

650
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,480
Was three scoops of Bluebell ice cream.

651
00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

652
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,839
Speaker 3: Things were different, like if you body fat tested, I

653
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,599
remember doing that and there was like only one time

654
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,319
I was like under the it was like eight percent

655
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,240
or something like that. If you were under a certain

656
00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:31,480
percent like they gave, they made you eat ice cream

657
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:31,839
every night.

658
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that. That was what they thought was

659
00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:39,400
the way d one nutrition come a long way, and

660
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,480

00:39:25,039 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 3: We did all the summer seven on A seven leagues tournaments,

827
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,800
go to state and we dominated people throwing it all

828
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,840
over the place. It was beating never like we we

829
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,880
never won. Like the state state tournament we got beat.

830
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,440
We just when you get to that level, it's like

831
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,800
who gets the ball last, because everybody's scoring every time.

832
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 4: Okay, So lone Star Preps Class five A high school

833

Speaker 3: We're at Bomar this week in radio.

838
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: That's like the whole state. Though again again, if he's

839
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,840
not all twelve five A, he ain't gonna be on

840
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:23,400

841
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

842
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,639
Speaker 4: This is giving me the wrong. This is a hard

843
00:40:26,679 --> 00:40:32,840
one to find because it's not there. Yeah, sorry, I tried, Matt.

844
00:40:33,639 --> 00:40:34,119
Speaker 2: Just say that.

845
00:40:34,159 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm just glad that Jimbo was an attention to detailed

846
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,840
guy and we found you, and you know, we were

847
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,280
able to have you lead us to victory.

848
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,559
Speaker 3: Here, Bud, we're coming down to a camp at l

849
00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:49,800
s U. They'd already offered a scholarship to me. I

850
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:55,000
came down to camp and I was throwing with they

851
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:58,440
like paired me up with early and big Baby a

852
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,719
tight down, do you know, Gambaluca, Gino, Gamble let go.

853
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: That's right. And you know.

854
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 3: It wasn't a whole lot of like film to go

855
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,760
off of at the time. So you know, I did

856
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,400
pretty good at camp and Timbo's like, all right, well.

857
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,679
Speaker 2: Probably going to recruit your harder now after this camp

858
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,119
we offered. You didn't have a lot to go on.

859
00:41:20,599 --> 00:41:22,960
What did happen? Though, I'll give my coach a lot

860
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,079
of credit, Like they were like, all right.

861
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 3: This kid, we get it. He's like on the recruiting list.

862
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,559
He's done good at camps. And it was spring practice

863
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,199
and we didn't throw the ball a lot, but LSU

864
00:41:33,519 --> 00:41:35,320
and I think like Oklahoma Texas, they were like, there

865
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,880
was a bunch of people coming down for a spring practice, right,

866
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,119
and so we had block schedule at at the time,

867
00:41:41,199 --> 00:41:44,079
so it's like four long blocks, yeah, and were yeah,

868
00:41:44,119 --> 00:41:47,280
third block was football, and so they all right, we're

869
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:52,000
doing practice middle of the day at third block and

870
00:41:52,039 --> 00:41:54,360
it's going to be an all throwing practice. So we

871
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:55,960
went out there and threw like eighty or you know,

872
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,519
we threw it a bunch, right, and and he did

873
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:02,079
that practice for me because they were all coming down

874
00:42:02,119 --> 00:42:04,079
to see me. And yeah, after that, it was like

875
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:06,679
they all offered me a scholarship after that practice. And

876
00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:09,320
I'll never forget. I think it was.

877
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 2: A fourth year of.

878
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,639
Speaker 3: College or something like that. Me and Jimbo were talking.

879
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,599
I think my parents were there. We were all we

880
00:42:16,599 --> 00:42:18,239
were all talking. This is like I think right before

881
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,159
he left to go to Florida State, he was like, oh, yeah,

882
00:42:21,159 --> 00:42:23,119
I remember, I remember that day when I went we

883
00:42:23,159 --> 00:42:24,920
went to a creature. He was like, you were forty

884
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:30,159
three or forty five? And I was like, what that is?

885
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: That is that is the truth because I know that

886
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:34,199
he knew the.

887
00:42:34,159 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 2: Stats from that practice whether and I honestly he believed it.

888
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 1: I think he has told that story on off campus

889
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,760
before about I swear to god, I think he's told

890
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,039
that story about your practice and given the stats to

891
00:42:51,079 --> 00:42:53,280
it because we you know, we brought you up because

892
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,960
he joined EJ and I on Tuesdays in college football season,

893
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,639
and I think he's given us stats from that practice.

894
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 2: I was like, what who is this guy? Yeah, I

895
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,639
can't remember anyone's name.

896
00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:09,679
