Speaker 1: Is The Matt Thomas Show with Ross ten o'clock in
h down A good morning, and welcome to a Wednesday
edition of The Matt Thomas Show with Ross coming to
you today from San Francisco, California. Well enter ond Tonight,
the arch nemesis of the Houston Rockets will take on
the Rockets for the very first time this.
Speaker 2: Year, the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 1: This is just a tough place to come and play
a because it's San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Be it's the Warriors.
Speaker 1: And see I have nightmares ROSSI of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson,
Draymond Green, hell even Kevon Looney for the last decade.
Speaker 3: As you probably should and as we all do as
Rockets fan and all fans, and I should say also,
I was mentally preparing myself for a Friday style open
today's show, So I wasn't ready, but I'm here now.
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm doing good? Yes, Happy Thanksgiving Eve
to all.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess we could do one at noon,
I wasn't we told.
Speaker 1: We told Jonathan not to have the clips until next week. Anyways, Yeah,
we gotta we gotta bank some because you're gonna be
gone for a little while, and we get some Christmas
holiday stuff coming up, So that's actually true, you know,
fresh off of vacation and gonna be going back on again.
I get you get the day's I get four weeks.
I use four weeks, folks.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's a use them or lose them scenario at iHeartMedia.
Speaker 2: I went, then I get the obligatory. Hey, where's Ross?
The show's better with him there?
Speaker 1: And I'm you know what, you should just appreciate me
as your co host. I do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, people say that when you're gone. I try
too hard. So it's all good. But we're better together
than apart. Let's just submit that. That's exactly right. I mean,
what's the Laverne was better with Shirley. When Laverne was
by herself, wasn't nearly as good?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 4: Why not?
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, we got a very business show for
you today. I'm all choked up already.
Speaker 2: I have this cough I cannot get rid of. Yeah,
I'm a little worried about you, and part of it
is is it's it's the rocket's fault.
Speaker 3: I'm not blaming them. Have you gone to a doctor? No,
here's the thing.
Speaker 2: Okay, there's who I'm blaming. Here's the red. We have
amazing accommodations.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: We have a new plane right now, okay, and the
plane is always about thirty degrees when we get on it.
Speaker 1: Mmm.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, temperature doesn't make you sick, Matt, colds and
viruses do viruses in bacteria?
Speaker 2: Okay, I believe there's I think going from a warm
room to a warm bus, to a cold outside to
a cold plane doesn't help.
Speaker 3: Okay, is everybody in the team. Is everybody in the
team coughing?
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah?
Speaker 2: How's Ackerman doing?
Speaker 1: I'm not here?
Speaker 2: He's got the whoop? Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Wait why not? Because they're not doing the games on top?
So he didn't even bother I got you? No, no, no,
Well I'm here by myself. Uh and uh, tonight is
an ESPN only no space city. So if you're gonna watch.
Speaker 3: The game, all these and maybe radio gigs not so bad.
Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of its moments. Now. Do I believe
Craig makes double than what I do?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Am I bitter about it?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Why did you bring it up?
Speaker 6: Then?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Why did you?
Speaker 2: Information?
Speaker 3: Sake two questions? Why did you bring it up? And
why was there bitterness in your voice?
Speaker 2: There wasn't bitterness in my voice. I was coughing.
Speaker 3: Oh, I forgot. This is NBA Cup group play. Rockets
are out though, right unless it get some kind of
crazy point to win by fifty.
Speaker 2: I was given an update from the league yesterday, okay,
and the league says.
Speaker 1: This now again. I don't know about the point the
diff if you know what I'm saying. But all I
can tell you is from the NBA. If Portland wins, Minnesota.
Speaker 2: Wins, Phoenix wins, Memphis wins, if any of those four
teams wins, or if the Rockets lose tonight to Golden State, Okay, sure,
why not. I don't necessarily believe that the NBA Cup
is top of mind back for the folks in Houston.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's got its place. The floor, Like I
watched the Lakers Clippers game last night. The Lakers floor
was one hundred percent yellow.
Speaker 2: Did you see any of that game last night?
Speaker 1: By a chance?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I did not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a completely yellow floor. M It's it's tough to watch.
I'll be honest with you. I know what they're trying
to do, trying to create some in trying to separate it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, this is they're just trying to give a
little juice to the regular season when nobody cares about
it till after Christmas, right, and it works to a degree.
I would say my interest level goes from like a
five to a six on random games.
Speaker 1: Uh. Yeah, I mean that mine's completely selfish, minds up
thinking about going back to Vegas for a second straight year.
So mine is like, okay, so you're like a ten
to a twenty six point three. Okay, But I would
say the general fan probably does not care.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say a mind going from five to
six is probably above average.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh for sure. For sure. So we've got that
coming up today. We've got rockets that'll be at nine
o'clock with a tip time. Seven o'clock or eight o'clock
will be the launch pad. And uh, I believe no
local postgame tonight because it's late. Plus I'm basically going
to sleep after the.
Speaker 3: Game last No, it's fine, I got stuff to do.
Speaker 2: What do you What are you cooking tomorrow? By the way,
you could you're not bringing chili.
Speaker 3: I'm generally on master. All the chili's gone. Oh okay,
it's been redistributed to the masses. All right, I ate
the last of the last night.
Speaker 1: So it was pretty good, just kind of nobody likes
to braggert, but it was pretty good.
Speaker 2: I am normally on mashed potato duty.
Speaker 1: Well how hard is that?
Speaker 3: Well, it's generally. Uh, it's like the the MVP of
the plate. If you get the mass potatoes wrong, all
Thanksgiving could be ruined. Matt, I mean, come on.
Speaker 2: That, you know what I would actually have to agree with.
Speaker 1: You see a lot of pressure.
Speaker 3: Yes, cooked property, lumpy, flavorless mashed potatoes. Nobody's gonna be.
Speaker 2: Happy, No, but nobody's gonna say any Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well.
Speaker 7: That's not true.
Speaker 3: I have never been waiting for you. I have never
said to you know what. Actually I have told her
she put too much salt in the guak before, but
that's because she asked me to be honest.
Speaker 1: People know they can.
Speaker 3: Actually I have a reputation around my family, so it's
funny you bring this up. If my sister, brother, mom,
or anybody cooks anything, they know that I'm gonna be honest,
and they all tell me they appreciate it.
Speaker 8: M hm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they think Thank god Ross comes to my home.
Eats my food and is brutally honest with my assessment
of my cooking.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not brutally honest. I normally start. First of all,
you say things you like about it, and then you
say things maybe you don't could be improved in your mind.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, I got you? Okay, she slow play the criticism baseb.
Speaker 1: Yeah. First of all, everybody in my family is a
good cook. We're just very blessed.
Speaker 2: We're lucky.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my sister's more of the baker. My brother can
cook anything. I cook a lot of different stuff, and
my mom can. She's just a natural nice The Thomas
family just the opposite. We will be going to a
restaurant to eat. Yes, yeah, explains a lot actually about
your food.
Speaker 1: Doesn't splay anything. Its becings that we just want to
just relax and have someone do the heavy lifting for it.
Are you going to the are going to the Mountroomb again? Yes?
Speaker 3: But oh by the way, quick question, So y'all are
flying back tonight after the.
Speaker 1: Game, which we normally don't do.
Speaker 3: But it's just three days off and it's Thanksgiving. That's
what That's what I was speculating yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't imagine an NBA team spending any three
days in Utah City. Yeah that good. Nobody cares now
three days in Yo Utah during Thanksgiving. No thanks I
have been. I have spent two or three Thanksgivings in
Utah beautiful, having great food and whatnot.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't the night scene would be a
little bit tough with the guys. It's getting better, but.
Speaker 1: It's still not what it's But this way, it's not
southeast the night scene meaning the bar is closed at
ten o'clock.
Speaker 2: Guys are going to the hookah bar with no booze.
Speaker 1: Hmmm, that is true. All right, So let's get into
things today. We've got rockets tonight. We have a big
sled of NFL game. Did you notice what the NFL
did this year They've never done before, at least I
have not done since you and I have been watching football.
They bumped the first game up a half an hour
to start the game at noon as compared to eleven thirty.
Speaker 2: H Oh really, yeah, I like that affects people.
Speaker 1: But always has been a tried and true formula that
the Lions game has always been an eleven thirty in
the morning.
Speaker 2: Now they're playing at noon.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 3: Okay, well it's a good matchup with the Packers too.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the first two games are really good.
Speaker 1: The third one is the Bengals against the Ravens, and
I don't particularly care about that unless you get some
fantasy implications, which most people do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got three high spreads totals, I mean, and
then two close spreads and then Baltimore minus seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Good t Higgins, he's heard.
Speaker 3: Oh I forgot about the Friday game they're doing now
too on Prime video.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how that rated last year. I
don't remember the game even being played.
Speaker 3: I remember, I don't remember who it was, but I
remember it being like, Okay, i'll flip this on for
a sec.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I don't think you and I are running
out to go sort of a large amounts of Christmas shopping.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will be getting obliterated at a tailgate in Austin,
Texas by then.
Speaker 1: So oh obliterated. Yes, I don't like that. I wanted
you just like play cool and sip your drinks. Now.
Speaker 3: Actually, in my old age, I've really slowed down my drinking.
I'm actually not sure. I'm not sure. I don't know
how I'm gonna be until I get there. Am I
gonna get activated into old school twenty one year old
Ross mode Aggie's longhorns and just start smashing beers?
Speaker 1: Or Am I gonna be old reserved? Don't like to
drink too much because it gives me a If I
have two drinks, I get a hangover, and I'm just
old and washed ross. So I'm not sure who I'm
going to be.
Speaker 2: What the first time you've seen this game and played
at Austin.
Speaker 1: In the last one I was at was at the
twelve to seven Stephen McGee victory where the Aggies were
cheap shot in Colt McCoy and him out of the game.
Oh oh, that was I believe two thousand and six.
And my my my roommate on the way out was uh,
he kicked over a trash can.
Speaker 2: We were so angry.
Speaker 1: I think that was. We need to read some University
of Texas police tweets on Monday. See.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was November twenty four, two thousand and six.
I was a student and had season tickets at that time.
My roommate kicked over a trash can and so do
you know this about me?
Speaker 4: Matt?
Speaker 3: I get songs stuck in my head and I sing them. Yeah,
I guess you kind of know that.
Speaker 2: Right What song are you singing right now?
Speaker 3: So that day I got the Aggie Warre him stuck
in my head so randomly droughout the day, I was be.
Speaker 1: Going bump bump, bump, bump, bup, bump, bup, bump, bup bump.
Speaker 3: You know, it was a catchy tune. Good goodbye my
Coney Island. Babby and my friends were all getting mad
at me, my brother, everybody we were hanging out with
that day, just drinking after the game and what and commiserating.
I kept on singing the song on accident because I
got stuck in my head. M that's all. And people,
there's no ps to this now, people, people were getting
upset with me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's it's a catchy tune. I mean, I'll
say what I've gone armed arm with his complete strangers
before in conversation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bit Agi Matt, that makes sense. You sawed them off, Aggie.
Matt mc was terrible that day. Three picks, no touchdowns.
Speaker 2: But you're not bitter about it.
Speaker 3: Stephen McGee had fifty eight yards and they won. He
had ninety five rushing on a touchdown. That was a
twelve seven game. Yeah, twelve to seven. Jaworski lane had
sixteen and sixty. Mike Goodson, Wow, dude, deep, you're going deep?
Well I pulled up the Yeah, I pulled up the
kwan cosby Jermichael Finley leading the way receiving for the
Texas Longhorns.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we will be getting some insights in this game
coming up at the bottom of the hour, locked on
SEC's Chris Cordy, WI.
Speaker 3: Give the man a shine or you just couldn't find
anybody who you deem better.
Speaker 1: I didn't say better. I was just looking for you said.
Speaker 3: We could get somebody better. I want to say, that's
your exact words, Jonathan. We'd have to ask him, you know.
It sounds really accurate. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, that was two thousand and six.
Speaker 3: So that's the last one I was at and I
was very disappointed. I would like to be happier after
this game.
Speaker 1: The one time I went to A and M Texas
game was in Austin. Was that Ricky Williams that broke
the singles season record, I want to say, or all
time record for rushing and you were wearing Aggie gear. No,
I was not. I was I only I was wung
any gear. It's good time had by all. I think
it's supposed to rain. We're supposed to have some ponchos.
Oh oh yeah, no night cold rain in Austin. Oh
my god.
Speaker 2: Hashtag future pneumonia. That's okay.
Speaker 1: You know, when it's big time football mat you make sacrifices.
Speaker 2: Well, my sacrifice would be trying to fight club seats
as soon as humanly possible.
Speaker 3: Uh not just cla Actually, rain might not be rolling
until Saturday now. Forecasts changed up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're good, say all right, fifty degrees ooh, it
might be beautiful. All right.
Speaker 2: So if you have any Aggie jokes or Longhorn jokes,
we want to hear them today.
Speaker 1: Right, and they're lame and played.
Speaker 3: But you can still do it. It's on Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
How if you want to just nobody's gonna laugh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how's the salespitday. We got a lot of folks

Speaker 1: My middle son is an Aggie graduate. My middle son
loved his time at College Station. He wants to go
back to master get his master's degree there, and I'm
all for that.
Speaker 2: I love the community.
Speaker 1: I love just about everything about A and M except
those dumbasses testa name what you just can't And again,
I know they're gonna say, well, you don't. You didn't
live it, you didn't live be around it. I know
I can't be around everything, okay, I can't be around
everybody's culture, around everybody's school, everybody's traditions. I'm just one
simple man with a microphone in my mouth and right
next to me. It's stupid, really stupid. You can do
the chance, you can do the cheering. I mean, but
that dude's monologue will never be forgotten. And there's probably
five hundred of them very similar to that. They're pretty bad.
Speaker 3: Appalachia is not a state whoop, and then they lost
to Appalachian State. M that's real rich calling Texas Longhorns
little brother.
Speaker 2: Jam Sloss didn't belong here.
Speaker 3: That's all y'all love Schloss when he was over there.
Shut Obamas. Hilarious, so good.
Speaker 1: It's again so many things about A and M that
I appreciate. Other fans are the worst.
Speaker 2: I didn't say that you did.
Speaker 1: It's a great you're you know what. Cougar's fans are
charging down the stretch that.
Speaker 2: Way, we're giving them some time. Yeah, that's just really dumb.
Speaker 1: But you know, look, everything that every school does does
doesn't necessarily make it. It's magical and amazing. I'm sure
there's things that people do at Alabama games that would
make us shake our head, or at USC or at
Miami games or Michigan. I mean, every school's got their quirks.
That one is just a hard one to get away from.
I remember taking Peyton to initiation to his orientation, and
the eleators came into the orientation and I'm looking at
Peyton and I'm like, what is this because they were
hissing and they were doing these weird old hand signs,
and I was like, are we sure you want to
go here?
Speaker 3: And he goes, Dad, I love this, I said, Okay,
so he did. Some people love it. I mean, the
enrollment's grown and growing and growing. Do they get like
one hundred thousand there these days?
Speaker 1: Well, and it's hard to get in. It's I mean
as the roma grows. They used to mean when we
were growing up, it was, you know, top ten percent
got in and then they got dropped to seven. I
think it's like five percent.
Speaker 2: That now good automatic enrollment in So hmmm.
Speaker 1: I think since they've up the enrollment, they have loosened
the acceptance rate.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean I'm not trying to.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not sorry anything, but the automatic it's fifty
seven to sixty three percent. Now that ain't no gimme
compared to like you know, SFA where they like beg
you to come please come to our school.
Speaker 3: Whoa whoa, whoa, hey, why let well we don't we
don't use all the valves.
Speaker 2: But you come on there anyway.
Speaker 11: You should be thanking the Lumberjacks for getting the cougar?
Is this they're getting you Bowl eligible? I shall only
hear thank you?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: By the way, how did Western Kentucky do against LSU.
Speaker 1: This past week? Oh?
Speaker 3: Actually, I don't know the Hilltoppers. I'm gonna guess it
didn't go so well for them.
Speaker 1: I remember being low scoring for a while if I'm
not missing. Really, yeah, we.
Speaker 2: Are your official home of Western Kentucky football. Let's take
a look the tops. Uh last week they played in
the final score was Oh no, ain't LSU. Let's see
I'm looking. Oh it's oh thirteen to ten.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we barely see. And this is the
are you serious when you went to cover?
Speaker 2: Big time cover?
Speaker 11: If you ever went to WKU and you were at
those games, it always ends like that. You got a
high ranking team, you sit in the cold, you sit there,
and they just lose about three points by four.
Speaker 1: It's so upsetting. LSU was a twenty two and a
half point Oh my god, god almighty, might be a
my red tile back out do what would it? That's
the wave that's been around like a helicopter.
Speaker 2: Okay, trying to fly down some COVID fun facts.
Speaker 11: By the way, Abraham Abraham Lincoln's house is on campus
like his old log cabin.
Speaker 3: There's no way you can look at those logs. Have
to have been rotten. Got to be a replica.
Speaker 1: No, it's there. I'm I've put this on everything. Another

they lose, where is their SEC championship future on this thing?
Speaker 7: Well that's the tough part.
Speaker 16: I mean, they lose the tie breakers with presuming you know,
everybody else wins, Alabama takes care of Auburn.
Speaker 7: The George has already done.
Speaker 1: Their SEC slate.
Speaker 7: They played non conference in Georgia Tech A.
Speaker 16: M has played these the seven SEC teams they've played
are all the bottom of the SEC.
Speaker 7: Now, it's funny.
Speaker 16: Because we said this about Texas last year and Texas
got all you know, fans got all offended. They were like, oh,
it's not our fault. We played the lower half of
the SEC. That's just who we got. Well this year
it happened to A and M and they're doing the
same thing. They're going, it's not our fault that everybody
we played sucked.
Speaker 7: But it is worth noting.
Speaker 16: I mean, they're undefeated, they're eleven to oh, they're seven
to zero in the SEC. Yet they have avoided all
the best teams in the top half of the conference.
Texas is going to be the first good team in
the SEC, first team that has a record above five
hundred in confor play all season, and so this will
be the Aggie's toughest test. But yeah, if they lose,
they lose the tie breaker with Georgia, and it will
be presuming Alabama wins, it'll be Alabama and Georgia going
to Atlanta as opposed to A and M.
Speaker 1: All right, so A and M is in the College
Football Playoff, they don't have to go to the SEC
championship game, right, They're comfortable where they are, correct, Yeah.
Speaker 16: If they win, they'll be They'll still be in the playoff.
I mean that's the good thing of where they are.
But I created this scenario that this could end. I mean,
as historic as the season has been, there's a world
where they lose this weekend to Texas. Let's say maybe
they do get to the SEC championship game, you know,
they lose that one, and then they lose in the
first round of the playoff. Like, there's a world that
Aggies could finish the season a three game losing streak
and it would have vibes of how last season ended.
But no, I mean, at least you know where you are.
At least you know you're in the playoff. But as
we know, anything can happen.
Speaker 2: All right now, as far as Texas is concern, before
we get to the individuals, if Texas wins the game,
is there enough they can do to squeak in Would
they have to have multiple teams in front of them
be upset in order for them to give that maybe
that ten number ten seed.
Speaker 16: Overall, I just think I think people are going to
harp on the third loss. You know it would have
been one thing. And this is where it really sucks
that you schedule a tough non conference game against Ohio
State in week one. The day they lost that game,
everybody's like, oh, Texas is fine, you know that's that's.
Speaker 1: A good loss.
Speaker 16: Yet we're holding the third loss over them because if
they had scheduled Texas State won that game and their
only two losses were to Florida and Georgia, both on
the road, we'd be saying Texas a playoff team right
now if they win this game. So it sucks, but
everybody's gonna hold that against them, and while everybody else
is playing cupcakes week one, I think the message has
been said, sorry, don't schedule tough games, schedule cupcakes, because
that's what everybody else is doing. And Texas is getting
dinged for going on the road and losing a tough,
hard fought game against Ohio State as opposed to getting
rewarded for playing a tough game.
Speaker 1: So the reality is this, we're gonna as much as
we enjoyed that first weekend of the season, we're going
to see more Louisiana Lafayettes versus Texas. Is that we're
going to see because look, Indiana's already said over and
over again, why are we doing this? We're going to
play as easy as a schedule, and it didn't affect them.
Speaker 2: It just gives you.
Speaker 1: I would assume very little room for error if you
have a bad loss somewhere in the mix, because you
can't justify it with the extra loss because of Ohio State.
You don't get you're not getting credit, you're not getting
the participation point that you think you should get when
you're playing the Buckeyes in Week one.
Speaker 16: I just think you should be rewarded for it. Like
we always want to go to losses, who'd you lose to?
I always say who'd you beat? Like, what's your best resume?
Speaker 1: Wins?
Speaker 16: And you know, we got Notre Dame sitting out there,
who hadn't played a damn soul. You know, they played
Miami and A and m weeks one and two, lost
both of those, and then they start beating up on
Purdue and Boston College and Navy and Syracuse and suddenly
it's like, well, Notre Dame's in.
Speaker 7: Well, why are they end they lost their two toughest
games of the season.
Speaker 16: I think we need to give credit for teams that
win big games. Texas beat Oklahoma, who was number six
in the country at the time. Oklahoma will dispose of
LSU this week. They will be ten and two. They
will be a playoff team. That's a great win. We
got to reward good wins as opposed to just going well,
who'd you lose to?
Speaker 6: All?
Speaker 2: Right now to the game itself.
Speaker 1: Can A and M's offensive can be Longhorns offensive line
hold up against the front four of Texas A and M.
Speaker 16: It's gonna be tough. Cash Is Howell has been a
monster for the Aggies this year. He's got eleven and
a half. He just named a finalist for the Lombardi
Award the bed Narrik. He is a monster. And Texas
has not run the football all well all season. They
have not had a one hundred yard rusher all season.
That's crazy because coming to the season, we thought if CJ.
Baxter back with Trey Wisner returning, that this was gonna
be one of the better rushing SEC teams in the
you know, on the season, and they have not been.
And the large part has been the offensive line. The
one two big positives that Texas has going for them
right now. Arch Man has been playing very well the
last couple of weeks. You know, he's he's really starting
to click. He's starting to find chemistry with his receivers.
Ryan Wingo has been great, Park and Livingston's been nice.
And here's the other stat guys that I just I
just tweeted this out. Texas is nineteen to one in
their last twenty games at DKR. Their one loss was
that Georgia, that epic Georgia game last year. Remember where
all the fans threw crap on the field. That's that's
his home field advantage. As you get and Longhorn fans
have been waiting for this game to come back to Austin.
Remember the whole thing was you you know, the AGI's
were like, you can come to the SEC, but you
got to come to Kyle Field the first year and Texas.
Speaker 1: Won that one.
Speaker 16: So big, big game here for the faithful of Austin
or also be there. It's the hottest sticking in town.
But nineteen and one in their last twenty games at home,
Texas must hold serve.
Speaker 2: All right, Ross, what are you thinking?
Speaker 3: I'm thinking upset, Matt and Gordy's right, this is a
very highly anticipated game, Like I'm ready to. I mean,
I go to every game ready to lose my voice,
but I'm really ready to have being a part of
a great environment and be as loud as I possibly
can in this game.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: I'm excited.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, Gordy. We saw South Carolina
pull off an incredible first half and then they just
kind of melted in the second half.
Speaker 1: How much of that game film can you translate to
this game? Is Sark tries to kind of replicate that
Because Allas Gamecocks scored as easily as they did and
then just all of a sudden clammed up in the
second half was quite astonishing.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean a lot of it were ragging mistakes,
like you know, Marcel Reed gets in the red zone,
throws a bad interception into the end zone. I mean
things like that. It's you're just gonna have to force
them to make some mistakes. The crowd could play a
part in that. A their live and rocking and loud
that you know, maybe they force some fumbles or you know,
disrupt that way. But to me, that that was, you know,
that was the epitome of it. And the secondary was
a little you know, they weren't the best in the
half of that game. And then you know Leonora's Sellers
with his running ability kind of kept them off balance.
Archkentuck and run, but he's not gonna be confused with
Michael Vick out there. So I'll put as simple as
to say this, guys. You look at the numbers, they
are pretty identical. I mean, scoring defense, Texas given up
twenty points a game A and M's given up twenty
one points a game. Passing offense, you know a m's eighth.
Texas is thirty third, like their neck and neck. In
a lot of different categories except rushing offense, the Aggies
are twenty fifth in the country. Texas is one hundred
and tenth. If Texas can run the football effectively, and
we're seeing Trey Wisner company getting four four and a
half five yards a clip, then that will be the
recipe for Texas to pull this off. If they cannot
run the football. I hate to put it on it,
but Arch is gonna have to play a near flawless
game for them to win this one.
Speaker 3: And I'm worried about the rush defense because they got
ran all over by the Razorbacks. I mean that game
ended up being like fifty two to thirty seven. Looks
like kind of like a blowout or whatever. But the
rush defense was very as poor as it been all
season for the Longhorns.
Speaker 16: Yeah, but largely they've been good all year. I mean,
I want to say they're like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but their last game it is bad. So I'm
concerned for sure.
Speaker 16: Yeah, but they clamp down in the second half too,
So you know, again, I don't know if you can
take a whole lot away from that other than look
at the points that they've been scoring with Arch the
last handful of games, forty five, thirty four. Yeah, Georgia
shut him down, but then Arkansas fifty two. Again, this
is the best offense has been playing on the backstretch
of the season, So a confident Arch could go a
long way in this.
Speaker 2: One last question, what's the final score going to be?
Speaker 16: Chris Gordy, I'm thinking, I mean, this could be defensive
battle if if you can keep if you tell me
both teams are in the twenties, I think Texas pulls
it out something like a twenty three to twenty one
type game. Their kicker's been really good all season, so
I was at that Kentucky game. I mean he was
like the player of the game, Mason Shipley. And the
return game I think is gonna be big too, you know,
so we'll see. But I think if it's like a
twenty four to twenty one, twenty three to twenty type game,
I think it's advantaged Longhorns and may be the Aggies.
Speaker 2: There you go, locked on sec love it.
Speaker 3: I think it'd be a higher scoring game with to
total fifty one and a half with the long Horns one.
Speaker 1: But we'll see who. I'm as happy the games are
playing being played again. It's the greatest rivalry in Texas
period of the story. Oh, we'll have it for you.
Speaker 3: Ye, it's a perious rivalry in Texas, for sure.
Speaker 1: It's one of the probably it's one of the you know,
you think a m Texas Army, Navy, Ohio State, Michigan
that that does about knocks it right there. And you
have h and Navy. Uh you Ace doesn't playing anymore.
We we we were tired of beating one of the
naval academies. We're gonna we're playing better this week.
Speaker 2: Rossie, Okay, sorry, all right?
Speaker 1: Ten forty six Gordy, Happy Thanksgiving to you my friend,
Thank you for coming on.
Speaker 2: Thanks fellas he's locked on, Gordon locked on as he
follow him. There Yankees, Keith and Dave will get to
you and coming back seven one, three, two, two five,
seven ninety. We have a pre Thanksgiving Day edition of
shut you obamass up coming up in forty five minutes
right here on Sports Talk seven.
Speaker 1: Ninety by the.
Speaker 6: Left in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Now, Rossie, you've seen you did see Tony Bedanan first
before he passed, right, Yes, he was ninety two years
old and apparently sang two songs back to back in
the exact.
Speaker 2: He did the encore.
Speaker 3: He sang a song and camera what it was, started
to walk off the stage, stopped in the middle of
walking off the stage, looked like he forgot where he was,
came back on the stage, and then sang the same song.
Speaker 1: Yes, and we're all just like, god right, good job, Tony.
It was like it was like he was all of
our collective Grandpa. We're just like, oh, well you did great, Tony.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, eighty he holl.
Speaker 1: Is McCartney eighty two, eighty three, eighty three years old,
just finished up two sold out shows.
Speaker 2: At the United Center. The last two nights.
Speaker 1: Tony Bennett. Yeah, he lived in ninety six, so that
had to be twenty nineteen. I guess Alec Baldwin has
his issues. Does a great Tony Bennet impersonation? Oh really,
for what it's worth, For what it's worth. Now, remember
he was killing people and met backing on his daughter
and when it was an accident. Yeah, but he did
kill her.
Speaker 3: Well, he was handed a loaded gun. It wasn't his fault,
you know, he was on the movie set and landed.
I handed a not a loaded gun, but it was
it was not properly.
Speaker 2: Oh, then butchered the host of the match game show?
Speaker 1: Oh he did?
Speaker 2: What happened with that? Got let go?
Speaker 3: How really he was bad?
Speaker 1: Or what happened?
Speaker 2: Martin sport and Martin Short now does it and he
does even a worse job.
Speaker 1: How do you butcher match game? That's my point. Everything
is written down and rehears. There's nothing organic with these shows.
Are all timed down and all the jokes are written.
Speaker 2: Down ahead of time. It's just not good.
Speaker 1: It's not good. Meanwhile, I again, I think I could
do a good job. I have exemporaneous skills. I can
get the best out of the celebrities. I know the
format of the game.
Speaker 3: Put you in, Matt Apply, Yeah, out there you have that.
I think they should hire you. You got the connections, Mat,
let's go. Yeah you know what? Yeah, just spread your
wings and fly.
Speaker 2: Oh I got no connections.
Speaker 12: I got.
Speaker 1: Nate Burleson hosted The Hollywood Squares. When you think of
the Barlson the far receiver.
Speaker 3: How does he have any national cache? Was it or
was he on he was on Dancing with the Stars?
Speaker 1: Huh Yeah, he hosts the CBS morning show that no
one wants. Oh wow, man, Nate Burleson's a star.

Speaker 3: Go to hell, Nate Barlson. I tell him you said
that only we can get him on the show.
Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen.

Speaker 3: He's in the like twelfth round Fantasy Piic Hall of Fame, Like, oh,
I guess I'll take Nate Burleson.

Speaker 1: What does he sleep? This is?
Speaker 2: This is terrible. I'm not in a bad mood.
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Dave on seven ninety and ten fifty six. Dave,
good morning, Thank you for holding.
Speaker 19: You got it, no problem. Hey, I was so pumped
when I first heard that we got a lumberjack running
the board now for you guys, woo the ten and
two lumberjacks ten and two lumberjacks, by the way, But
also you are in the presence of a school record holder.
I'm sure you already know that, but I did want
to add I didn't know that about this guy. What
oh my yeah, school record four one it out records.
Speaker 3: What Matthew give his respects?
Speaker 1: They might let you know that.
Speaker 11: Man, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: Well, Jonathan never told us because he doesn't brag, so
I didn't know.
Speaker 19: I know that's how the Jacks roll. We act like
we've been there before. So but anyway, I wanted to
ask Jonathan about this guy Masuri my power. Oh he's
like a badass. Yeah, yeah, how was he?
Speaker 1: That's my homeboy? Yeah, man, he's dude, real good man.
Speaker 11: He he ended up transferring after he graduated SFA and
went to OU and they ended up falling short.
Speaker 1: His h his figure. But yeah, I got before I
got there.
Speaker 11: They got second international football four before I got there.
That's why I ended up transferring, because I knew they
had a good squad.
Speaker 19: Okay, all right, very good. Now, Then one more thing
about an Aggie and these people give Aggie such a
bad name. I got on my s F a hat
and my Aggie neighbor across the street never moses, damn grass.
He's got four pine trees. So I'm in the street
blowing the pine needles to his side of the street.
He comes out. I just finished, so maybe he figured
out it was me. I don't know, but he says,
why are you wearing that hat? And I kind of
forgot to put it on, took it. Oh my SFA hat.
Speaker 20: Yeah.
Speaker 19: He says, you can't wear that hat, and I said
why not. You went to SFA but you didn't graduate.
I said, yeah, so my daughter went to SFA and
graduated and I'm a fan. No, you can't wear that hat,
I said, kiss my I said no, I said, shut yo,
bull ass up?
Speaker 17: Mate?
Speaker 19: Why why do they do things like that? And that's
all I got late.
Speaker 1: Thank you, David. I appreciate you, Dave.
Speaker 2: Dave representing the Jacks.
Speaker 3: It's a gatekeeping thing, and quite frankly, it's rooted in
jealousy because people like talk about Longhorn fans being T
shirt fans because they were popular, and it's like, oh,
you can't root for the team unless you graduated.
Speaker 2: Here's what I don't Here's.
Speaker 1: The ruling I have if you went to another school,
but openly root for another one that you never went,
that you never went to.
Speaker 3: Correct like, you can root for North Tech, you know, Matt.
I mean I feel like you can root for Not
that you would or could, but you I feel like
you have the option. I should say to root for
North North Texas Athletics.
Speaker 2: I went to North Texas for one year. I can
root for them.
Speaker 1: We were talking about their coach, by the way. We
had to get to that at some point, Yeah, we
need to.
Speaker 2: I went, my oldest son went to Tech. I spent
money at Tech. I spent money at A and M.
My daughter's going to have a scholarship to Rudeland. So
I got some new schools out.
Speaker 1: What I don't accept is I went to X y
Z school but wanted to go to another school. So
I don't even acknowledge the school that I went to
and just was a fan and don't even acknowledge the
school I went to be like if Texas, if you
went to Texas Tech and all of a sudden you
were an A and M fan, even though maybe you
were a fan of the Aggies growing up. If you
were the hunger Is growing up, you should have gone
to the school there. But if you couldn't, if you
couldn't get in, well that's because your numb.
Speaker 3: But if you didn't have the smots, that's your problem.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: I think total abandonment of the school that you went
to is douchey. That's all I'm saying. Well, I went
to Texas, I did not graduate. Yeah, my brother graduated
from there, my aunt, my uncle Richard as well, and
rooted for them all all my life. Yeah, that's fine.
I can.
Speaker 2: I can live with that. Thank you, Matt.
Speaker 1: I'm glad.
Speaker 2: I'm glad I've got clearance from you. I was gonna say,
I don't know why I'm telling you what you can't
cannot do, but I just again, it is just it's whatever,
it's relative. I just I just don't like I went to.
Speaker 1: SMU, but I rode hard for Texas because I wanted
to go to Texas, but I would get an sm
I just it's just kind of creepy, but that's a
teacher's own well.
Speaker 3: It's especially weird when they're on the same level. I
feel like if you went to if you grew up
a Longhorn fan and then you went to I don't know, uh,
incarnate word like something on a completely different level. I
feel like what you're saying, like Texas Tech and A
and M, Like that's two major college programs right.
Speaker 1: Probably I'm getting a lot of dirty A and M
at you joke sent to me and I cannot read
that one.
Speaker 2: I just got on the air something involving a.
Speaker 1: Sock All right, eleven oh one on Sports Talk seven ninety,
second hour of The Matt Thomas Show with Ross. We

Tate and Aaron Holiday and maybe a sprinkle of JD.
Davison before the night had said and.
Speaker 1: Done, Jayshn Tate, he come half from the G League.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm assuming they need a body.
Speaker 1: I'm ready. He's like a five year vetga in the
G League.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's getting some time.
Speaker 1: But I put him on my I put him on
my card. I don't know if he's gonna be here

they need warm bodies, well it would put If they
don't have him, that puts him at ten and number
ten is Isaiah Crawford. At number nine is JD. Davidson.
Speaker 2: So hey, j D.
Speaker 1: Davison gives some good minutes. You did, Okay? Then to
night five points, had a three pointer. Yes, Aaron Alladay
was awesome last night or a couple of nights back.
He put up a twenty twenty two points, sixty three pointers,
beautiful shit, the best scoring of the Holiday trio.
Speaker 2: Well, I think one of the guys out of the league,
Drew still doing his thing, But uh, who's the other one?
Justin Yeah, justin Holidays.
Speaker 1: That's the league, I think. So college basketball last time.
I love the Cougar stuff. For their first loss of
the season, Oh what happened to?
Speaker 2: It was close game, back and forth. I mean somebody
had to win it. Oh, you guys lost to Rick Barnes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna happen. That's tough.
Speaker 3: Well, Texas took care of business and their big matchup.
Speaker 1: Who they play? Oh?
Speaker 2: If they played Shamana, didn't they What was the final score?
Speaker 1: Do we even know? One nineteen to seventy eight. I
don't think Texas The defense is very good. Shamanad scored
seventy eight on him and didn't some other crappy school. Yeah,
Ryder got sixty five on him.
Speaker 2: Und nineteen though in forty minutes. It's pretty good too,
but Shamanad it doesn't count.
Speaker 1: They don't even They literally still don't have a page
on ESPN.
Speaker 2: So it's basically the SFA of college basket.
Speaker 3: Oh hey, come on, now, we got a some respect
on Jonathan's name school record holder. That's awesome.
Speaker 2: What was the record again of all the po one?
Speaker 1: It was thirty nine to one is the time four bay?
That's awesome?
Speaker 2: And what were who are the other three guys on
the team? What were their names?
Speaker 11: Missouri Matar, Jeremiah Curry, and Justin Garcia.
Speaker 2: And you are friends with all three of them at
this point.
Speaker 11: I could keep up with two of them. I don't
know what Curry is doing, but we all follow each
other around.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 11: And actually for your A and Maggie's mad Robinson went
to He's he's as an Aggie right now and he
holds a record over there, and he's got multiple four
hundred wins and four hundred meter individual wins.
Speaker 1: And he came from ESPAE as well, So shout out
to him. Wow, track powerhouse.
Speaker 2: The Harvard of Track is clearly University of Houston with
Carl Lewis.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 11: See, And I was gonna give Matt props that we
got to beat that year too.
Speaker 1: Do you have it? They're just dogs over there.
Speaker 2: That's gonna happen a lot.
Speaker 1: That's fine. Uh, We've got two new coaches. I've got
two coaches looking for new spots. Eric Morris leaving North
Texas to zero surprise to go to Oklahoma State. That's
a good leap.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, it just shows you again.
Speaker 1: Ten wins at North Texas equals one at Oklahoma State.
Speaker 3: You said, even yesterday you're like, well, he's not going
to be there, and the next and then later that
day he got hired away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's no surprise. And then the coach at let
me see here, oh USF you know South Florida, who's
a team that could be going into the CFP. Alex
Golish is going to be the coach at Arkansas.
Speaker 1: Oh really that just came down. And Jim Morra Junior
is leaving Yukon to go coach at Colorado State as
they go into the new what they're calling Jim Morra Junior.
Yeah he's still coaching, Yeah at Yukon.
Speaker 2: What Yeah, now he's at Colorado State.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well okay, good for him. Yeah, I had not
That name just shook some cobwebs out of my brain.
No clue, I'm not giving you any branking news here, Rossie.
The reality is if you are a group of five
or group of six school and you win, you're losing
your coach. Oh yeah, he's been good at Yukon nine
and three and nine and nine and four last two.
Speaker 2: Years, which is tough because that's a tough place to
recruit him.
Speaker 3: There's no high there's no high school players that there's
guys wants to go play in stores.
Speaker 1: Oh what a dump?
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I hate it there, absolutely hate it. So yeah, if.
Speaker 2: You're decent, and here's the reality, Rosset, it's not even
thinking about this. You're old Miss. You are sec uh
through and through, and you're holding on dear.
Speaker 1: Life for your coach.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seems like it seems like the more the day's
roll on, the more that he's going to l s U.
Speaker 1: If he's being offered fifty million dollars a year, he's
got to go. Ole Miss has money. They don't have
fifteen million dollars a year money.
Speaker 2: They just don't.
Speaker 3: It's a it's just a better program. It's just he
wants to win championships.
Speaker 2: I mean, if if the playing field is equal, they
could he could win.
Speaker 1: I mean, if if you're just a great recruiter, you
can win an Old Miss you've got a good facilities.
But it isn't your job easier.
Speaker 3: You're also has to be a great recruiter against Alabama
and A and M in Texas and Georgia and oh
you like you need a leg up and and LSU
is a leg up from Ole Miss.
Speaker 1: It just is, Yeah, especially when you can add an
extra two and a zero to most of the checks
you want to give him. Yeah. Now, now the roads
aren't paved and baton rouge or not, and the buildings
are falling. The buildings are falling apart. Yeah, I mean,
but hey, hell, let me tell you, but that locker
room looks nice. Let me tell you, Mike, the Tiger's
got good facilities. You know they're gonna be able to
spend some money.
Speaker 3: Every locker's got a fifty inch plasma TV. But we
can't pave the roads. But hey, I got all the.
Speaker 2: Streaming services too, so I can't miss any games even
to me.
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Yankees Keith at eleven eleven, Happy pre
Thanksgiving Yankees, Keith.

Speaker 17: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Is this great radio?
Speaker 1: I'm just curious.
Speaker 3: Hey, if anything goes Wednesday, that is true.
Speaker 4: That's all I am. Just a little food challenge. Anything
goes is that it is.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Keith, appreciate it. I mean literally, as anything
goes Wednesday. I got three? How many did you get?
Speaker 6: Met?
Speaker 2: Crawfish was a no brainer? And then the other one
I don't remember.
Speaker 1: Maybe two.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't had rabbit or.
Speaker 1: I've had frog legs, Yeah, I've had that. I don't
think I've had rattlesnaked.
Speaker 2: Chicken feet, no.
Speaker 1: Quail. Yes, it takes time for a break. I think
it is too. I mean this one we'd like to
call a screeching halt of the radio. We got a
good question from James. Let's sak have palate cleanser. What
if you went to A Because Matt, you are the
gatekeeper of fandom, so we have to ask you. What
if you went to a satellite school of U T
or A and M, like UTSA or A and M Galveston,
Then can you root for the main campus?
Speaker 2: Does that school have Division one athletics?
Speaker 3: H U T s A would U T. I'll give
you an example. My sister and brother in law both
went to U T. Arlington. My sister doesn't really care
about sports, but my brother roots for UT and hey,
when we're watching the games and we high five, I
got no issue with it.
Speaker 1: I would say U T A is okay because they
don't have a football team. Okay, you got you gotta
root for somebody on Saturdays. Correct, Yeah, T s A. Nope,
you gotta be a roadrunner. What about U T.
Speaker 2: F You gotta be a minor?
Speaker 1: You just gotta. I'm sorry, I think I think it's allowed. Okay,
what A and M satellite schools have football teams. Corpus
Christine no per views is a satellite Commerce a football
part of the system.
Speaker 2: Commerce has has f s, s f C s.
Speaker 1: I just I just the biggest d's I know are
the ones that went to Texas Tech but root for
Texas or went to UH, went to North Texas and
roof rain M. Those are the d's I'm talking about.
If you're lott key about it and you're chill, I
get it. But if you were like, we did this
and we did that, but you've really never stepped on
the campus ever, just because your dad or your mom
was a fan, that makes you a d I'm sorry.
This is my rule. Remember, I don't write the rules.
I just interpret them. It seems like you're writing the rules.
I don't write them, but people ask. I give you answers.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Matt.
Speaker 1: Like I used to hate it when I was saying
you when not going to you of age in the
nineties and people would wear other schools your shirts.
Speaker 2: That really pissed me off on campus.
Speaker 11: Because that happens all the time. They were the UK
stuff and it used to blow my mind.
Speaker 1: Oh that's the worst. That is the worst. Eleven sixteen.
It is a Matt Thomas shoel ross. We got shut you,
o bum ass up. At the bottom of the hour.
You may join us all the way through until two o'clock.
If you need fantasy football or advice, Doctor Ronold's gonna
be with this. At one o'clock today, Willie Fritz and
the Cougars versus the Bears. At one thirty, your phone
calls welcome. It's seven one three two one two five
seven ninety this city, Rossie.
Speaker 2: I think you can do a Google search of this song.
This is one of the most hated number one hits.
Speaker 1: Of all time. This song sucks.
Speaker 2: I mean I don't love it, but I've heard way worse.
It sucks.
Speaker 1: But people only hear this song and they despise it. Yeah,
it makes me want to dry heave. Matt.
Speaker 3: This dude told me to play this song. Don't trust people. No,
I didn't tell him it was a great song. He's
just looking for the look.
Speaker 2: It's fine.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, you can play it. I don't care.
I'm like, I'm like, I'm not gonna walk.
Speaker 1: Out of it.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm not gonna walk out of the studio this
but it's a song about San Francisco, and when we're
looking for songs about San Francisco.
Speaker 1: But it's bad, you can keep it playing. It's fine. No,
I'm not mad. So hear this song.
Speaker 2: It just generally pitches, y'all.
Speaker 3: We're trying to say, I guess so it reminds me
of that funny bit of Family Guy where they're like
hard rock, the classic rock, and then.
Speaker 1: It goes we about this city like, it's just.
Speaker 2: It's not great.
Speaker 1: It's just so milk toasting. Who's it stars interesting? Yes, yeah,
it's okay. I mean again, I'll never download it. They
play you know, my favorite one from here is and
again it's uh, if you're going to San Francisco, put
flowers in your hair. They play an upbeat version of
it here at the right at the Warriors game. You know,
they remix it. It's pretty good. I wish I could
find the real version of that.
Speaker 3: It toped a twenty eleven Rolling Stone poll of worse
songs of the eighties by a wide margin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people do hate it. Why is it playing? A?
Speaker 3: Blender magazine and GQ magazine both have called it the
worst song of all time. That's a little much. You
know what the worst song of all time is, don't
you h avant garde jazz?
Speaker 1: Nope? Have you ever heard that?
Speaker 3: It's just like people wailing and like making new noise
with a theremin.
Speaker 2: It's not good.
Speaker 1: My two worst songs of all time are Edie Brikel
and the New Bohemians. I'm not aware of too many things,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: That songs all time terrible? And then girls Just want
to have Fun by Cyndi.
Speaker 1: La Oh that sounds fine, it's not great. I'm with
you on that, but it lows.
Speaker 3: I thought you hated Minnie Riperton.
Speaker 2: Oh loving you? Oh that is horrific too.
Speaker 1: That's a gym.
Speaker 2: You're just wrong.
Speaker 1: That is not many.
Speaker 2: Repertain is just yelling at the top of her lungs.
Speaker 1: He no, no, don't let this happen. This is great,
This is not great.
Speaker 2: Jan was on the scene.
Speaker 1: He remembered, this is one of the three worst songs
ever made in the world. Sing it, Manie, let's go.
I kind of like this. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's like you're in a meadow having a nice picnic
with your lady m The birds are chirping, the sun
is shining. You're getting a quick run of the hand
up now this man, this is the song you play
with your lady. Yeah, good lucky. You know what, I'm
gona play the song for my Lindy. She's gonna walk
out of the house.
Speaker 1: Well she was gonna do that anyways, that's true. Oh, jam,
that is so bad. Minnie Ripperton, Minie Suckington is what
that was?
Speaker 2: That's terrible. Let's go to uh. Brian in Pearland, eleven
twenty five on.
Speaker 1: Anything Goes Wednesday, Brian, good morning to you today.
Speaker 5: Morning guys, and I hope you'll have a happy thanksgivin Ross.
Should should be a good time down in Austin on
on Friday. I was there last year and that the
atmosphere was awesome and in a good game even regardless
of how it came out, it was as close to
the entire way. But so it should be a good
time in Austin, I'm sure. But to enjoy yourself down there,
because it'll be it'll be a good one. I've been
going back and forth with Gordy and one said he
did family leave out and look I get it. Chris,
Gordy is an LSU homer, and he is not an
an M fan. I can tell because when I called
him and Dad back for the NMLSU game, he was
talking about how the LSU game was the biggest touch
for the Aggies and if they lose that, they're going eight.
And for all of that, they went in and got
a coach fired and ripped the hearts out of LSU.
And now Gordy's got to figure out how much more
money he's gonna have to pony up to his annual
dues to be able to afford that fifty four million
dollars buyout. So Gordy can shut his bob ass up
when he's doing up in Let's not forget arc is
two and eight at Texas against top ten teams under
his current tenure, and Shart teams are five and eighteen
against stock ten teams against his entire coaching career, so
he conveniently let that stat out. You know, look, I
get it, Gordy doesn't like A and M good deal.
But if you're gonna, if you're gonna be locked on SEC,
give me all the numbers before you sit there and
say it, but show me a good game. I think
it's thirty one twenty seven A and M. This is
not an A and M team in years time. That
South Carolina game taught them something different. They can get
punched in the mouth and keep coming back. Now I'm
not advertising going down thirty to three, but I think, uh,
this an M team is just playing a different breed
of of football and they're they're just built differently, uh
than than teams in the.
Speaker 17: In the past.
Speaker 5: But showed me a good game. Rosco enjoyed it. I
have a couple of uh frosty pops for.
Speaker 2: Me and uh you all guys, all right, thank you.
Speaker 3: Sarka has two wins against top ten teams this year,
so I think to and ten that that I don't
believe that's accurate.
Speaker 1: Before and twelve now rights if he's well.
Speaker 3: They lost to Georgia top ten, so I don't know,
and lost Ohio State at top ten, so two and
two this year. I don't know about all time he's
but they've won top ten games before this year. I
think tow and ten might have been maybe before this season,
so yeah, maybe four and twelve.
Speaker 1: So are we really going to crush? The Ohio State
game is the reason why they do again. To me,
it's more about the Georgia game than anything else. I
don't know.
Speaker 2: Florida loss is bad too, I mean they're under five hundred.
Speaker 3: I think it's one of those things where you can
call it whichever way you want, because there's even if
the the Longhorns had the rankings up earlier, even if
they were a two loss team, they would be like
twelve conceivably so, and that's still no guarantee that they
would get in. So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I again, how do they howd they end up yesterday?
Did you see the latest?
Speaker 3: They are the highest ranked of the of the of
the three loss teams. I guess Oklahoma has two losses
in their eight Notre Dame has nine. I don't know
if you flip the if you flipped the Ohio State
loss to a win over as Gordy said, like Texas State,
m M.
Speaker 2: Are they ahead?
Speaker 1: They're probably ahead of Oklahoma because I've had to head right.
Oh yeah, yeah, maybe this is costing I you know what,
ross and we applauded the Texas and Ohio State for
playing each other. I and we rip on schools that
played the divisional the the Quadrant schools and whatnot.
Speaker 2: I I don't know. I think we're learning that the
College Football Playoff loves the number of wins and doesn't. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, two years ago though, Longhorns did get into the
top four because they beat Alabama on the road, But
that was also when it was a top four format.
But they would they would not have gotten in if
they did not win that game.
Speaker 1: So who would be if Texas was to beat A
and M and get in, who would they be squeezing out?
Speaker 2: That would would cause the controversy.
Speaker 3: I think if they beat A and M, they they
should put them past Vanderbilt and Oklahoma. Who Texas beat
head to head? Vanderbilt Texas is sixteen right now, Vanderbilts fourteen,
Oklahoma's eight. How can Texas have three wins against top
ten teams, one of which is Oklahoma and then be
ranked behind them?
Speaker 11: But who did Vanderbilt beat? I don't know if there
was anybody over Texas right Vanderbilt is nine to two.
Their biggest wins would be LSU Missouri.
Speaker 1: Well, the uity is this, you can't Michigan actually is terrible.
Michigan needs to lose to Ohio State for sure, you're
right correct on that.
Speaker 2: You need Utah to lose. I mean say, I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 3: I'm going to the game Friday, and I want them
to beat the Aggies who are on the field against them.
Like I just can't I understand. This is like, you know,
a lot of fodder, and this is what this show
is here for. But it's like for me personally as
a Texas fan, I don't I don't care. I want
them to beat the Aggies, and then whatever happens is
out of my control. I don't know what this committee's doing.
I don't know whatever. Like I'm trying not to spend
time at mental space thinking about it. It's gonna shake out, however,
it's gonna shake out whatever right or wrong.
Speaker 1: There's nothing I can do about it.
Speaker 3: I want them to beat the Aggies for bragging rights
and because I want my team to win, and because
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a fresh, healthy approach. I don't get shared
by a lot of your fellow act Yeah, I know,
LONGRD fan.
Speaker 3: Let's spend fifteen hours of our week, Himen and Holland
about some pole that we can't control, Like you should
have beat Florida like, this is not some goodness not
gonna I'll tell you this. If Texas on the outside
looking in, it's not gonna be some grave injustice been
Ohio State.
Speaker 1: That was a winnable game.
Speaker 3: Don't lose the floor the way that you did, and
don't get embarrassed at Georgia like this is this is
not that hard. It's not like they're undefeated and on
the outside looking in or something like that. You have
three losses and of those games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have you at sixteen. So the s that
you have for you know what, we kind of know.
Speaker 3: Who you are, and a win against the number three
team is going to help vault them past several of
those teams.
Speaker 1: If it's enough, we'll see yep. All right.
Speaker 2: Eleven thirty one.
Speaker 1: Let's tell some people to shut their bumbasses up. Look,
you got relatives come into town right now. Maybe they're
in your house as we speak, and you they are
driving you crazy. This next half hour for you is cathartic.
You want to tell us people to shut their bumbasses up.

Speaker 2: Okay, let me go to my uh ain't nobody got
time for that?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: To my North Texas group chat? Who thought they were
going to keep Eric Morris.
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody had time for that.
Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: They did. Really, Yes, what do these schools always do this?
They because they loved their schools. They love I mean,
they love what they're doing, and they're like, that happened
recently at North Tech.
Speaker 3: Didn't some other coach get hired off recently in the
last ten years or no, I don't think so. Remember
thinking of some other school and you're you, you had
some friends that were telling you he was gonna stay.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look I can tell you this as a university Houston guy.
Oh we'll keep Tom her We got no problem with that.

the whole That's part of the two weeks.
Speaker 2: Of the Cougar football season that year.
Speaker 3: So remember it was reported he had agreed to be
the LSU coach.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how things would have changed? Yeah, well whatever.
So I would say to all of you that go
to non power for schools, and I mean the big
power four schools, your coach is good, he's going to
leave you he made a kiss you on the cheek
and thank you for your services.
Speaker 2: But like people like it in North.

Speaker 22: Uh?
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I went after Exfinity last week for their their AI
support person, and I even forgot what I originally wanted
to come after them for. That was the fact that
I was trying to switch back to cable Matt. They
have a sports and news package, all right, So I
was like, you know what, I just want sports. This
sounds great. The sports and news package does not have
MLB TV, NBA TV or NFL Network or T or TBS,
which we know Kerry sports.
Speaker 1: If you off the sports package and it doesn't have
sports channels, what are we doing here? Ain't nobody had
time for that?
Speaker 11: Ain't nobody got time for?
Speaker 6: Dad?
Speaker 2: And go ahead?
Speaker 1: What they define as sports and news? You and I
don't because we're actually I don't know in sports.
Speaker 3: We kind of go away like no if I, let's say,
I don't know, uh, your wife was switching the package
and you're like, yeah, honey, you just get the sports
package and then you get it and you like trying
to flip around. You don't have MLB, NBA or NFL
Network or T and T or TBS to watch sports.
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I and I got beef. I'm gonna call
them out by name too. Fubo, you've already been in
dispute with T and T TBS. I hadn't been able
to get my NBA Now that's gone. But now there's
other stuff on tn t A TBS. I don't want
to watch. I'm already pissed off about that. I gotta
go to HBO Max and spend twenty dollars a month
on that.
Speaker 1: And then now they're in a dispute with NBC Universal,
so I can't get NBC Sports Footbo. Ain't nobody got
time for you to be in in disputes with everybody?
Ain't nobody got time for day?
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I don't think I got anything.
Speaker 3: I'm sick of all these people, all these money honey,
money hungry, money grubbing people where everything is going up
and up and up and up, and then they're getting
into disputes with everyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if it's FNDY liked to be a sponsor
of the Matt Thomas Show, Ross Weick glad to have you.
I guess well they're gonna turn some things around. I mean,
I did come crawling back. I'm gonna I'm gonna cancel Footbo.
I can't.
Speaker 3: I can't be in you can't be in multiple disputes.
Come on, brother, let's go what probably.
Speaker 2: In disputes between cable companies and TV networks. That's all
we get is you're gonna maybe lose this channel. Oh
you lost his channel.
Speaker 1: And then you have the ESPN personalities cutting and pacing
tweets saying we wanted it work big yeah.
Speaker 3: And then I saw a deal for HBO Max for
three months, three dollars a month for a year. But
then you don't get the live sports.
Speaker 1: It's obam man hundreds of dollars a month, and I'm
still not getting everything. REC takes care of it for me.
I don't have these issues. I just don't.

Speaker 1: One misles.
Speaker 2: Excuse me? Yeah, I can't answer that question.
Speaker 1: Man, why not?
Speaker 3: Oh you know you're not for many many years. Yeah,
it's toned down the last few years. But yeah, I
got a lot of a ton of presents from my parents. Still,
like I still do.
Speaker 1: I still do it a lot.
Speaker 2: I mean it's pair of socks, be just fine. Maybe
a gift card of like Rick Role or something like that.
Speaker 1: I think I still getting presents at eighteen.
Speaker 3: No, it's funny because yeah, in my twenty I was like, guys,
stop giving all these presents. Ridiculous And then they started
lighting them up and I'm like.
Speaker 2: Oh I missed my presence. Oh cool, okay, but no,
I'm no, don't do it. Just keep spending as long
as you can.
Speaker 3: Just give me some straight you know what, Give me
the gift card accepted everywhere, give me even by your
drug dealer.
Speaker 1: Straight cash, homie, let's go. But you know what, we
are not cash givers because we believe it's even more
impersonal than the gift card.
Speaker 3: See but it's see, that's ridiculous. I understand, But why
is that a stigma? How come if I give you
a cracker barrel fifty dollars and maybe you don't even
like cracker barrel, rather than give you fifty dollars cash,
it's less personal.
Speaker 2: Now I'll say this, We're not gonna give you something.
A gift card is somewhere you don't like. We know,
if we give out rudder burger, we're going to make
sure that you like a runner burger.
Speaker 3: I guess I see where you're coming from at now
I understand where he's coming from.
Speaker 11: But I just don't get why it's that way. It's ridiculous. Well,
ROSSI got theme by that way. I mean, if it's
like it's still a gift you eat to give him
some money. It's like you can do that any time
of the year, you know what I mean. Yeah, but
you're wasting. You're wasting a plastic car to just give.
Speaker 1: Me the cash. He says, like you said, straight straight cash, Homie.
Let's talk to Willie Willie. What's the matter with you?
Speaker 4: Will Willy turned.
Speaker 1: It radio, Willie Man, will he turn it way up?
All the way up? You can?
Speaker 8: He did?
Speaker 4: He did straight straight cash.
Speaker 1: Delay. Well, they were like a minute. Thanks will appreciate
that you spend delays back in the day roster for
like seven seconds. We're like fifty seconds. Now, what the
heck was that was that on the stream? That was
a radio that was significant ships up, man. Remember the
number one rule about calling a show is if you
call a show, turn your radio off.
Speaker 2: Period every single time.
Speaker 1: Oh I got one, I got one.
Speaker 11: I got one to everybody on Thanksgiving that says they
don't like mac and cheese. Shit, mac and cheese is
deserving of a Thanksgiving plate, part of your plate. M
You can take out the dressing. You can take out
anything else. You can make sure you know.
Speaker 1: Why dressing gets two days a year, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaker 2: Let give mac and cheese a day off. There's nothing
incredible about mac and cheese on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: You get it right.
Speaker 2: You can give you mac and cheese in July.
Speaker 1: Let that.
Speaker 2: Let those noodles get we get a break. I know
I'm in the minority in this.
Speaker 1: I know it, I get it. But you know what
if you if you insist, if you want to have
mac and cheese at your place, just go get the
craft box, pour the powder in.
Speaker 2: A little bit of milk. Let's go delicious. You're sick.
Speaker 1: At least you don't eat it al dente like quainting.
Speaker 2: That was gross. Chunks was weird.
Speaker 1: Man, I don't know.
Speaker 2: That explains why Adam is who he Adam is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's got the palate of an infant
as well.
Speaker 2: Doesn't like ranch, doesn't like hi, there's like milk, doesn't
like anything.
Speaker 1: Cream. It's just ridiculous. Mayonnaise is kind of gross. No,
Man's mayonnaise is fine. I'm with you.
Speaker 3: Maynay's is not my favorite, but I will eat it.
You know, I prefer as olive oil man mayo. I
highly recommend Jonathan if you want to try that. First
of all, it's lighter and fat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna have to take a past on that.
I don't know.
Speaker 3: Man, Oh, that's great olive oil mayo. It's it's a
lower fat alternative and it tastes.
Speaker 1: The mother would put when I was a kid, would
put lots of olive oil in the eggs. It was grossbody,
So I gave up an olive oil for a while
and then I just dip it in my bread with
some pepper and it's all good. Why did you give
up because my mother would put it in her in
the eggs, because my a whole stepfather liked.
Speaker 4: It that way.
Speaker 1: Wow, I got a lot of deep rut.
Speaker 3: I had a lot of piers man, that got a
lot of layers to peel here.
Speaker 1: I hated that a segment just for you to just
unlease right now before the holladays. Yeah, oh yeah, I
could take the therapy. I mean, I you know what,
you get the good in the bad with me. At
least you get all of me. I don't hide things typically.
Speaker 21: Up.
Speaker 1: Man, you should know. Yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 3: Promise Matt's opening up about his feelings and trump, past
traumas and.

had fell through.

to fifty bucks for all you can eat, all you

Speaker 1: Just for that, I'm leading with this ESPN, MLB execs
predict free agency contracts. Here we go, Yeah, get the
Hubatzi fired up, Maddy, Oh, here we go. Kyle Tucker
leading the way.
Speaker 3: Sixteen executives polled on what's could have come the rest
of winter? Will Kyle Tucker get more than four hundred
million dollars?
Speaker 1: Survey says ten say no, man six say yes. So
they're pretty split there. Predictions for the signings six votes
for the Yankees, four.
Speaker 3: Votes for the Dodgers, three votes for the Blue Jays,
and then the Tigers, Phillies and Orioles in there. If
it's the first two, you got no shot, no shot.
One execs thing. I see it at three hundred and
fifty million dollars over ten years.
Speaker 2: I'm already saving my money.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. You should you like gambling?
You know that gambly money I want in Cleveland.
Speaker 2: I'm giving it right to you. It's just start directly
right to you.
Speaker 1: Most predicted landing spot for fromber Valdez, Blue Jays five votes,
New York Mets four votes, Orioles four votes. Which somebody
had a gut feeling he would go to the O's.
I think it was Cole Thompson one.
Speaker 3: It was one executive voting he that Fromber will come
back to the Astros. That guy's high as a kite
out of the sixteen, all right. Elsewhere in the news,
Oklahoma State hiring North Texas Eric Morris as their next
head football coach. They announced it following reports of Ross
Dellinger of esp and you excuse me, Yahoo Sports is
Ross Dellinger and ESPN. Terms of the contract have yet
to be reported. Morris just forty years old, building a
powerhouse at North Texas.
Speaker 1: That's relative, because powerhouse in North Texas means two good
years in a row forty six point three points per
game while averaging over five hundred yards of offense in
twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: Elsewhere in college football news, Jim Mora leaving Yukon. I
didn't know he was there until earlier today. Is Yukon
to Colorado State? Is that really that much of a
step up?
Speaker 1: I guess must be. He must be thinking that New
PAC twelve is gonna have some good money. I mean,
can I think gets hard? They're not even I don't
think that's true.
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess as far as even just places
to live.
Speaker 1: Right, But he's not gonna be a color will say
very long. He wins there, he will be out there
very quickly.
Speaker 3: And one more note on the news at noon, Your
Houston Rockets in action tonight against the Golden State Warriors.
No Kevin Durant, no Steven Adams, no friend Van Vliet,
Tarry Easton or Dorian Finney Smith. That'd be a pretty
good starting five actually, but I I'm gonna be there.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 3: I heard you're questionable. No, I'm very probable, okay, hashtag warrior.
Draymond Green a game time decision.

would call it.
Speaker 3: Al Horford is out, as is Jonathan Kaminga and Rocket's
legend d' Anthony Melton is out.

around with this with a six pack and put the
six cans on top of your head and call it

Speaker 3: Sometimes you go to tailgate and just stay at the game.
If you don't, you look for tickets and if you can't,
well he's back in the day before.
Speaker 2: For all the.
Speaker 3: Rub of rubs and seat geeks. I'll just say you

Speaker 2: Oh, Gordy can drink a little bit.
Speaker 1: He's from Louis from Louisianna. Know, I just mean I
don't drink that much literally, probably as seasoned journalists. Now.
Speaker 3: Oh, is he working the game? Maybe he just wants food.
I'll bring him a play, I'll bring him a plate.
We'll figure something out.
Speaker 2: Jones in on a on a party and then take
a plate and bring it to somebody.
Speaker 4: Why not.

Speaker 3: I'm bringing a plus one and a plus two get

Speaker 2: And that's I'm assuming the worst seat in the upper
deck right mm hmmm, which is not a bad I
mean it's it's a big stadium, so I mean you
would be far, but at least you build a clear
view of things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a giant scoreboard. You'd be fine.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mark on seven ninety at twelve twenty three, Mark,
good afternoon.
Speaker 4: Hey guys.
Speaker 13: First of all, happy Thanksgiving to you?
Speaker 21: And that.
Speaker 1: Are you and Ross?
Speaker 4: Question?
Speaker 2: It's okay, go ahead, what's up?
Speaker 13: I have a question about Arch. I don't know if
you watch the Mating cast. I know a lot of
people don't like that.
Speaker 1: I do watch it, but I have not watched it recently.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you know what that's about.
Speaker 13: So if you think back to the Georgia beatdown on Texas,
Peyton was on the sideline.
Speaker 17: So my question to you is how much do you
think Peyton and.
Speaker 13: Eli actually help Arch Because they've talked about what I've
seen Arch has gotten better, He's learned how to check
down the receivers, he's being more steady in the pocket.
So my question to you is opinion based, obviously, I
want to know what you think as far as how
much help is Arch actually getting from his family.
Speaker 3: I don't think. I think it's some, but maybe not
a ton. I know that I've seen quotes from Peyton
talking about like they will text and then Peyton will
send like a voice text, and he'll get like a question,
and then he'll get like these long voice texts back
from Arch. So I think they're in communication all the time.
I don't know if they're talking every day, but probably
every couple of days, and I don't know. It's probably
up and down. I don't think he's like actively being coached,
but I think if Arch has questions, he can lean
on Peyton and Eli to answer them.
Speaker 13: I think it was So what's your prediction for Friday?
Speaker 1: Payin for the Texas A and m Maggie's.
Speaker 13: I think so too, Yes, Horns.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So what's the deal with Steven Adam?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 13: I heard you guys said he's not playing tonight.
Speaker 4: What's going on with that?
Speaker 1: Let me give you the official injury designation for him.
He is definitely out tonight. They are saying, let me
make this right.
Speaker 2: It is Adams is out tonight with right ankle tendonopathy.
Speaker 1: Sorry ankle.
Speaker 13: All right, well guys, happy Thanks Kevin. Yes, and I
hope the Aggie soffer.
Speaker 2: Me too, Mark hook them Morrins.
Speaker 1: But thank you. It's an You know what, I'm actually
pleasantly surprised we've got more Longhorm people calling in today
and we've.
Speaker 2: We've had probably in a long period of time. You
know why, because I think confidence is high. I told
you this before, like two weeks ago. This is A
and M's best season since I've been alive. Honestly, men,
they defeated and yeah, they have not played the upper AshEL.
Speaker 1: On SEC teams, but you know you did beat Notre
Dame and you you know, you did have a hard
fought went over Samford last week and.
Speaker 3: They beat Notre Dame. And they also, I mean it's
about they had. They struggled against Arkansas, but yes, they
didn't play some of the top teams. But going into
that Missouri game, it was supposed to be close and
they destroyed them. Same thing at LSU. That was supposed
to be a closer game than it was and they
destroyed them. So they also won versus Florida, who Texas
lost to, even though that was at home. But still
like even though Gordy because look, I'm just gonna be real, Okay,
Gordy likes the poke holes and everybody's resume. Everybody's terrible,
and nobody played anybody and everybody sucks. That's fine, But
if you look at the results of the games, it's
not like they were squeaking out every single law every
every single win. Now, the South Carolina one was, the
Arkansas one was as well, But like destroying Missouri and
LSU on the road, those are good wins.
Speaker 1: They just are. No argument. There's nothing embarrassing about the schedule.
The Samford game is embarrassing, and I wish schools would
not play of that caliber, would play fcs.
Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, there's a hole in the schedule,
and I guess the SEC always has that.
Speaker 1: Hole because there were a bunch of lousy games last weekend.
You know, wester Kentucky played LSU. Uh, there were a
lot of there were very few income you know what,
maybe that again, maybe that wind does suck, But the
only LSU loss is are Vanderbilt, A and M Alabama
and Ole Miss.
Speaker 3: There's not an embarrassing loss in the bunch.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh, and again, you can only play with your schedule.
Tell you you can only dictate your non conference schedule.
But back to my point though, Rossie, if you are
having the best season of your life and you have
A and M who goes to Austin chance here to
really make up for a lot of issues of yesteryear
and losing at home last year to them.
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's big game. It's what it's all about.
Speaker 1: You win it. You are legitimately thinking, get out of
the way out. I want to see Ohio State in
the National championship game. See you there.
Speaker 3: I don't trust you, Indiana. There could be more on
the line, but there's still a lot on the line.
Texas still wants to get into the playoffs and and
M wants to stay undefeated. Then it's the rivalry all
this stuff. Yeah, it's going to Its gonna be a
huge game. I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: It should be a lot of fun. All right, Uh
six thirty, we'll have it for you at five thirty
here on Sports Talk seven ninety. That'll be on Friday night,
twelve thirty three on My Thomas Show with Ross.
Speaker 2: It was really weird this morning.
Speaker 1: The show starts here at eight o'clock Pacific time. The
six forty five wake up called the.
Speaker 2: Radio show is not we're normally accustomed to or else.
I can't see you do a morning drive ever. It's
a kick in the ass.
Speaker 3: I did it producing for a little while. I've done
some fill in work.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's it's a challenge. I could do it.
I could. I wouldn't want to those of you that
weren't morning drive radio, especially if you've got talent. Good
luck to you. You deserve it.
Speaker 2: It's tough gig, tough gig.
Speaker 1: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven ninety.
Speaker 2: We got doctor Rortle coming up in about twenty five minutes.
Speaker 1: By the way, the Astros announced earlier today. In fact,
it was half an hour ago, their complete pitching and
co complete coaching staff for the twenty twenty sixth season. Okay,
go on. Joe Spotta is the manager, Omar Lopez the
bench coach, Josh Miller the pitching coach, Ethan Katz, assistant
pitching coach Victor Rodriguez, hitting coach.
Speaker 2: Anthony ay apace I APOC assistant hitting coach, first base
coach Dave Clark, third base coach Tony Paris, Chica. Oh,
Jason Bell, I know the parish check. I wouldn't worry.
We thought he was gonna be gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I didn't think those guys were respected him at all.
They waved through him every time time. Sure he's a
small fellow.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I thought, And maybe he's gonna get some
good coaching. Can you get just put on a VR
headset and do like a third base sin. They gotta
have a program for the right yeh.
Speaker 1: Jason Bell is in something called quality assurance coach. We
could all use some quality assurance at our place.
Speaker 2: Our quality assurance coach is Chris Gordy. Tommy Kawa Mura
is the game planning coach.
Speaker 1: Game planning coach. Okay, watch this, this is what game
planning coach does. You all sit down say, hey, guys,
you play to win the game. No, you must score
more runs than the other team. That's the game plan.
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's like outfield positioning and stuff like that,
which fromer I believe once he wanted that spot catching instructor.
Speaker 1: Tim Cousins director of hitting, which is not to be
confused with hitting coach, and he's the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 3: Dan Hinnigan, you got the offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: You have a hitting coach. Okay, you have an assistant
hitting coach, and you have a director of hitting an
offensive corner. Aren't there too many?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, too many?
Speaker 2: Too many cooks in the kitchen? Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: That feels like that feels a little heavy for let's
get going. Let's go. I don't care. What did you
just say. I don't care.
Speaker 3: Let's get them all going. So they're all gonna say
it's because now the new hitting coaches are here and
everything is gonna be a okay?
Speaker 1: Does does does Jim Crane know about these people?
Speaker 3: They're actually gonna be better offensively. And then people are like,
see the new hitting coaches, Well, Dubond is gone, Urreus
is gone, and your Dun's presumably gonna be healthy, and
well we'll see with Christian Walker, ye.
Speaker 1: Healthy and Jake Myers maybe going back to batting. Hey,
come on, man, Jake Myers, don't look at his bat
and ball luck. Hey, he's a slop hitter. Not a
slop but a slip hitter. It's pretty good.
Speaker 3: No Chas McCormick either in two thousand and twenty four
batting average balls in play for Jake Myers two sixty three,
twenty twenty five, three point fifty three.
Speaker 2: Probably gonna go back down. No, no, no, no, whisper it.
IF's stolen the roster, he can you can you can
match it or or surpass that.
Speaker 1: Okay, Look he's got.
Speaker 2: Two he's got two hitting coaches and offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: How can you screw that up? Okay, Hey, the Texans
got a new offensive corner. Look at how c J.
Speaker 2: Strowder rally behind that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're doing better. Davis Mills look good.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: C J.
Speaker 2: Strowder was like, get jass out of here.
Speaker 3: This is a big game this week. I think I
think the Texans are gonna win it. I think they're
gonna upset them. I think the offensive line has shuffled
around and stabilizing a little bit better now.
Speaker 1: They are on the road.
Speaker 2: Are you speaking this into existence?
Speaker 3: No, I'm just telling you what's I'm giving you my analysis.
Matthew all right, now am I wearing battle red glasses?
Maybe a tinged well.
Speaker 2: Put it this way.
Speaker 1: If there's no building in the AFC South, the Texans
are afraid of they wonted all of them.
Speaker 3: Crag Anneapolis, feeling good Texans On the money line, it's.
Speaker 1: The lock of a week on a is in a
recorded line though, that's of course, okay, seven two five
seven ninety. Doctor Roto is going to join us in
twenty minutes. Get your fantasy questions ready for the good doctor.
He'll be with us between one and one thirty. We've
got Willie Fritz at one thirty, and believe it or not,
today at one fifty, Let's go to Gary in Spring Gary.
Speaker 2: Good afternoon to you.
Speaker 18: Hey, good afternoon guys, great show as usual. I have
to Thanksgiving to you. Got a couple of things real quick.
I'm gonna give you my prediction on the Aggie's Longhorn
game here in a minute. Uh, but first I want
to let me ask you this real quick before I
do that. I've been trying to find an update or
a firm comment on uh C J Stroud and then
ound anything today, whether he's playing or not.
Speaker 1: I have not looked at tweets at practice today would
be the first day. Doesn't mean it's a definitive day.
But I'm gonna look and see if anybody who said anything.
It doesn't look like they've done anything at this point.
Speaker 3: He's gonna play, Okay, it's I would be shocked if
he doesn't play.
Speaker 1: Is WEX out there a Texas reporter, but they haven't
a Texans insider.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's out there yet. No Texans reporter.
Speaker 18: Yeah, okay, okay, I'll keep listening to you guys. Y'all
upgrade pretty soon.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you as soon as it happens. A and
M the.
Speaker 18: Texas game, of course, what's his name? Yesterday said I
was two hundred and fifty years old. He's pretty close.
So with that comes a lot of knowledge. But back
in the day, when they were played every Thanksgiving Day,
that was big, big, big thing, big stuff back then.
I have an older brother that graduated from A and M.
I have an older brother that graduated two years behind him,
that graduated from Texas, So you can imagine that Thanksgiving
we were kind of split in half right there. So,
but I ended up falling on the A and M side.
My brother two years older than I am. He's a
big time Longhorn fan. He goes to all the Longhorn
fans wants to when they're in the state of Texas.
Speaker 17: So here's my prediction.
Speaker 18: I predict the outcome will be the Longhorns will score
twenty four and the Aggies will score thirty four. The
Aggies have as much talent on both sides of the
balls that I've ever seen in college in a long,
long time.
Speaker 17: They are just loaded with talent.
Speaker 18: So anyway, that's my prediction.
Speaker 1: And Gieger Maggie's all right, thanks for the phone call.
Speaker 2: You know I would dog in the fight.
Speaker 1: I mean A and M is I think significantly better
in Texas in a variety of areas. But look Art
is playing a lot better his best football the year
it's in Austin.
Speaker 2: They have a lot to play for it.
Speaker 1: If they think they got a shot to maybe squeeze
in the in the back door of the college FOOTBA playoff,
they need to win the game. A and M is
already locked in as a tournament as a tournament team,
so you know, now you're doing it just for the
rivalry standpoint. That's got a lot to do with it too,
But I mean one hundred thousand screaming Texas fans there,
and that's gonna be I think it does make a difference.
It certainly does. If the game is in conversation, I
think that they the Yaggies, will win the game by
ten points.
Speaker 2: But I'm not so sure.
Speaker 1: But Friday, Kella Mon's been great though. I mean, you know,
he's gotten more Heisman hype than Arches and for all
the right reason. He's been fantastic. What he put together
this year in general, especially in the second half of
that game against South Carolina when everybody their mother was
ready to leave the building, was incredible. He's been excellent
all season long. Marcel Reid, Marcella what I said, Kellen Mond,
that was mixing of my quarterbacks that Marcel Reid. Yeah,
he's so good, I wanted to give him a different name. Yeah,
he's been good, and.
Speaker 3: I think it'll be a little bit higher scoring than
maybe people think. Just a gut feeling, Just a gut feeling.
Speaker 1: Tell me again, if A and M's offensive line can
hold up, you got a chance. You haven't had one
hundred yard rusher yet this season. Have you against a
legitimate opponent.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. No, So why would things change
all of a sudden when you have this great defense
it's coming to sarch Manning's runner for two hundred.
Speaker 1: How about this if I said that arch Manning rutches
the ball ten times? Is that a good thing or
a bad thing in your mind?
Speaker 20: Uh?
Speaker 1: Probably bad? But he gets a couple of he gets
three four called runs a game, maybe two three called
runs a game. Yeah, I think ten would be too many.
If he gets to five, it's pretty good. I don't know.
To me, this is a game where don't you think
Sark just starts to doll up some things and put
some things in a motion that he hasn't used all season.
I would hope so show a little creativity into the
kitchen sink. Play to win a play to win a
big game, rather than playing not to lose.
Speaker 2: That'd be cool.
Speaker 1: That is the funniest thing I see about anybody that
criticizes Sark as they say, man, I wish he would
play up to the competition. I don't know. That feels
like that's a pretty low hanging analysis right there, that
he goes in naturally apprehensive about trying try to open
things up. If your offensive line is one of the
five worst in the SEC. What are you supposed to
do about that?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: And like I said, it's the competition has been great,
but they've been they've been like trouncing a lot of
the competition. Yeah, Parkansas and South Carolina notwithstanding, all right.
Speaker 1: Are we doing believe it or not? All things about
the Astros new coaches? What that seems kind of No,
I'm in vacation mode. No, believe it or not? Today?
Speaker 3: What San Francisco? What do you want, Jim Mora Junior?
Speaker 2: I want the new coach at Oklahoma State.
Speaker 1: Whatever. Morris Eric not to be confused with Guy Hm
or Van.
Speaker 2: That's Van Morris Son.
Speaker 1: Oh I cracked myself up. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, the definitive song about San Francisco is coming
up next. No, the definitive Francisco song has already been played.
Speaker 1: Well, then the second most definitive song.
Speaker 3: You you love folk folky? I like folky folky cheese.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm in And by the way I put that,
I put a picture of my trip arriving.
Speaker 2: In town yesterday on my Instagram account.
Speaker 7: That you did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great you posted it or you did a story.
I posted it at sports MT. No, let me go
drop a like on that bad boy.
Speaker 2: Everybody listen to me.
Speaker 1: If you want to have endless amounts of turkey and
leftovers at sports MT. Yes, and if you have a
good if you have a good tailgate for the A
and M for the A and M Texas game at
sports RV. If you feel like that, Ross is jonesing
in on people's tail gates uninvited at sports empty. Is
this forest Gun? By the way, I believe so great soundtracks?
Speaker 23: Out of the way, A good, great movie that wore
Jenny's Hey, hey, what you said it earlier doesn't affect me.
Speaker 1: It's dead. I don't care.
Speaker 3: Hey she was, She's not dead. A character played by
Robin Wright.
Speaker 2: A character died. I don't feel sorry for somebody, you
know took Forrest around for the you in the movie.
She had a checkered past. Matt Yeah, when.
Speaker 1: Forrest tried to help her and she can just not
take the good advice. Terrible, So they play an up
version of that song when the Warriors are warming up.
It is excellent and I've been trying to find I
can't find it anywhere. The remix yeah. I don't know
if the YouTube has it or whatever, but as the
kids will say, ROSSI, it pops a little bit. Pops.
Speaker 2: Okay. I don't think the kids are saying that, but
that's okay. What are the kids saying? I always go
to my seven year old, see what the kids are saying.
She just makes up words. All right, Rockets and Warriors. Tonight,
we'll have it for you beginning at nine o'clock, eight
o'clock on the launch Pad. Who's hosting that?
Speaker 3: By the way, launch Pad at eight o'clock. That'll be
me all right?
Speaker 1: And do you want to do a postgame show?
Speaker 2: We get certainly promoted, and I'm good. Are you sure
you want to do postgame show at midnight on the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving?
Speaker 5: I did.
Speaker 3: I did until midnight on ktr H earlier this week.
I've paid my deuce.
Speaker 2: Any calls.
Speaker 8: Be fair.
Speaker 1: KTRH is not the normal home for the Rockets.
Speaker 2: It's not the normal. It was a great postgame show.
I'll listened to the air check on it.
Speaker 1: Okay, But yeah, Draymond Green is listed, is I believe
probable for tonight's game? Right midfoot sprain, Right mid foot
sprain yep. Golden State. In their last game, here's a
little anecdotal thing for you. They beat Utah by seventeen.
They took one hundred and four shots in the game, Ross, okay,
exactly fifty two of them half for three point shots.
Speaker 2: That sounds about right.
Speaker 1: Mmm, that's kind of who they are. You think it's
time to LinkedIn the three point line?
Speaker 3: No, okay, I mean you can't go further out in
the wing, on the on the corners, really, no, you can't. No,
got your Barsmith Junior going out of bounds all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're seeing a lot of that, and it's been
for the last ten years. Guys stepping on the sideline
a lot after inheriting the pass. Hm hmmm, because there
is no wigger room over there.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: What else going on sports?
Speaker 8: Was?
Speaker 1: I got Texans and Colts on Sunday looking forward to that.
You had the Texans one in the game because you
are a battle red Ross.
Speaker 3: No, because because CJ. Stroud's gonna they have the number
one defense in the land.
Speaker 1: Yes, and c J. Stroud's gonna do just enough. What's
up now?
Speaker 2: Remember the number one defense in the Lincoln also give
up yards.
Speaker 1: We saw that.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, we saw the hooking Lander not look
particularly good.
Speaker 3: Okay, is one play that's right, that's sing and then
one forty yard touchdown from James Cook whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see if there's anybody reporting anything on
c JP's at practice. Wexit are Texas reporter? Is there?
Speaker 2: I don't see anything.
Speaker 1: You can send us a text or something.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna hold memberreath, not.
Speaker 1: Me either, neither.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: We got three football games tomorrow? Now?
Speaker 1: Will you.
Speaker 2: Will you watch all three start to finish? I can
watch the line the Cowboys Cincinnati Baltimore does nothing for me,
although if you are a Texans fan, you are rooting
heavily for the Bengals to upset the Ravens tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, you asked, I'm sorry, I got confused. I
thought you meant Friday. But yes, tomorrow, I should be
able to watch all three games all the way through.
Speaker 2: That's my plan.
Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah again, if you're if you're a Texans fan,
you want the Ravens to lose tomorrow.
Speaker 2: They've won what five straight games?
Speaker 1: The Ravens.
Speaker 3: Yes, we went. We talked about this weeks ago. I
told you, Yeah, it's been Bears, Dolphins, Vikings, Browns, Jets.
Then they have the Bengals home for the Steelers, Bengals again,
but then they they will be home for the Patriots.
Speaker 1: That'll be a big one, right if if Baltimore is
really rounding in a form, and then at the Packers,
at the Steelers, and.
Speaker 2: What what will the Steelers have left in the tank
at that point?
Speaker 3: Yes, man, I don't think the I don't think the
Steelers are the me in the outside looking in.
Speaker 1: I got news for you, though, Rossie, There's gonna be
two teams on the outside looking in, because right now
it's that you have nine, you have ten teams with
the record of six and five are better mm hm
three of those six, those ten don't get in, all right.
Speaker 2: I'll help you.
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh out, Okay, Pittsburgh out.
Speaker 2: Go this ahead and say it.
Speaker 1: Jasonville out. Although their schedules soft.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna be out. I don't think so.
Speaker 3: What's the Chargers looking like? Their schedule? Oh, Raiders hold
on home for the Eagles at Chiefs, at Cowboys, home
for Texans at Broncos.
Speaker 1: Chargers could be out. Chargers could be out. They are
a seven and four team.
Speaker 3: The game for the Texans, these are two big games.
They need to split these next two.
Speaker 1: They're the best seven and four record wise. The Chargers,
that Jacksonville, Jaguars, and the Buffalo Bills are all at
seven and four.
Speaker 2: Is the last three teams in and they would be
the five seed.
Speaker 1: Chargers and Texans play in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: Okay, so it's we can easily agree on.
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is on the is on the outside, we can
somewhat hope and pray that Jacksonville regresses to what they
normally do this time of year, which is not win
big games. I'm Trevor Lawrence is due for a dut.
He can throw a dut out there every week, right,
But there's one more team it can't make it?
Speaker 2: Say it Ross Kansas City? Okay you heard him.
Speaker 3: I'm kidding. I was just gonna get Jonathan all hype.
I think Kansas City's gonna make it in. Sorry Johnathan,
they lose tomorrow. It could be it could be Houston's
the favorite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have no more. Tennessee's no more. Jacksonville's two
with the Colts, DIY.
Speaker 1: Do you know what you do?
Speaker 17: Ross?
Speaker 1: You go those wingles, get sweep them.
Speaker 3: Yet go in the AIGs.
Speaker 1: You want to get those very easy. This is a
mood conversation. No, people are like, oh not you and
Longhorn fans. Oh, we got all make the playoffs and
we got moved.
Speaker 3: Do win your games.
Speaker 1: Beat four on the road, win against Georgia, win against
Ohio State. Yeah, just do it yourself. Win your games.
Don't start start, stop crying and pointing fingers, and win
your games. Yep, all right, Doctor Roy is gonna help
us with our fantasy teams. Next twelve fifty eight on
Sports Talk seven ninety is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.
Speaker 6: Waiver. Claims have to be made.
Speaker 9: And I've got trade propoless fly in my way.
Speaker 1: My first round pick turned out to be a big flop.
I don't know which.
Speaker 6: Wide receiver I need to drive.
Speaker 9: Doctor Roto gave me the news. I really don't know
what I should do. My quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've
got a bad case of fair deceive.
Speaker 1: Blue WI your market sports radio, we present to you
the Good Doctor. A Sports Talk is seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven ninety.
Speaker 2: If you want to join the conversation, seven.
Speaker 1: One three two one two five seven ninety Good doctor,
we got free well, two really interesting games. One's mid
but nevertheless, we gotta got our fantasy teams ready because
we were down the home stretch for the postseason. Good point. Mt.
Speaker 22: Hoppier, Thanksgiving to you and yours. There's up to one
o'clock game. It's been moved to twelve from twelve thirty
to one case people are remembering those twelve thirty games forever.
Love that Packers Lions matchup Chiefs Cowboys should be a
really good one. Cowboys surprise people last week. Surprise me
for sure. And then Bengals Ravens start your Ravens tight ends,
because every tight end does well against the Bengals.
Speaker 1: But I'm with you.
Speaker 22: I would think in the Lions Packers game, take a
real close look obviously at Gibbs and take a look
at David Montgomery. Saint Brown is in play. Don't love
Jameis Winston Williams as much in this one for Green Bay.
I like Romeo Dobbs a ton Josh Jacobs is expected back.
So I think those are your two main guys there,
Chiefs Cowboys. I think this is one where look for
names we haven't heard from in a while, Maybe like
a Xavier Worthy Pacheco as do back Hollywood Brown. Dallas
runs out a lot of mixes. Their coverage up a
little bit. I could see Worthy against Dallas's Manbridge is
doing well for Dallas. You gotta be in on CD Lamb.
He was awful last week, right, he knows it. Schottenheimer
knows it, Jerry Jones knows it. Everybody knows it. He'll
be better this week, so you don't want to count
him out. Pickens is good to go. Adam Schefter gave
him the blessing. He's going to play. Javonte Williams has
been good no matter the matchup, which is interesting. And
now on your side, we're going to see Joe Burrow. Surprisingly,
he's back. It doesn't feel like there's any reason that
he needs to get out there, but he should be fine.
Jamar Chase is going to play. T Higgins is out,
So everybody out there needs to know that. Mike Jeski
is a really great start if you're looking for a
tight end, because it always seems like he plays well
when there's only one of those receivers there.
Speaker 1: All right, there is a complete rundown of the games,
and we've got other specific questions.
Speaker 2: We can get to doctor Rono in just a couple
of minutes.
Speaker 1: Look, I had Jamiir Gibbs, the man who chose Saint
Quon Barkley first over Jamiir Gibbs is very open man.
Speaker 3: Why are we gonna call this out right?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: Let's move on.
Speaker 2: What pick did you What pick did you have in
the draft draws?
Speaker 3: I don't remember four or something five. Maybe I did
over Gibbs. Yes, I know I was worried about David Montgomery.
Speaker 22: Oh, let's not do that again. Gibbs might be the
number outside. He could be the number one player in
fantasy honestly.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you for it's such music to my ears.
Speaker 1: Thank you Roteal for that so very much.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I wanted to let somebody else win.
Rode I was back to back to back champions. You
can't win four in a row.
Speaker 2: The arrogance that is unbelowle arrogance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just talked about how it was stupid of
a draft picked I made, yep.
Speaker 2: But then you have to bring up the four time
champions or whatever you were.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a year zero time.
Speaker 2: But that's all right.
Speaker 1: Hey, So the Ravens have won five straight games, and
we were just talking before you joined us about we
think they're gonna win the NFC North. Are we seeing
a significant uptick in everybody than the Lamar has been
back there or is it just more about just Lamar
being back there and putting up his normal numbers.
Speaker 22: I think we're for getting the defense. The defense is
finally healthy, right rokwand Smith is missing games. The guys
and the and the secondary were missing games. They were
a complete and utter mess. So when the Ravens don't
have that imposing defense and Lamar, as we know, was injured,
they just couldn't find themselves. But luckily they're in a
division of honestly some bad teams. Cincinnati's terrible. How does
Zach Tayblor have a job? Does anybody know? Because I don't. Cleveland,
I mean, they're rolling out shra George Sanders, who actually
look good against the Raiders, if that's even possible. And
then you have the Steelers, who I mean are just
back and forth. Some weeks the defense is good, some
weeks the defense is bad. I mean, Aaron Rodgers is done.
They don't throw the ball to their wide receivers. So
Baltimore is likely going to win the AFC North And
I don't know if they're a great team or not,
but it doesn't even matter.
Speaker 1: Seven one, three, two, two, five, seven ninety. We'll get
your questions in for Doctor Rotal coming up in the
next segment. All right, Bears and Eagles. Everybody jumped in
and watched the Eagles get out of the twenty one
to nothing lead, and then Pickens and Prescott did their
There were some turnovers in the mix. Are we a
little nervous about Eagles position players against Chicago and Blake Friday?
Not at all.
Speaker 22: I think I think that Eagle game was just a
little shocking. I mean, Saquon fumbling. You saw so many fumbles,
and Dallas just seem to get more confidence. The Bears
are not great. They are in a week with eight
and three. They're a week eight and three. I mean,
they've gotten lucky in some of these games. The luck
has to run out, and it runs out against an
Eagles defense, which is terrific. I think they're gonna smother
Caleb Williams. The one guy who I think is really
interesting for the Bears is Kyle Manongai. This guy looks
like he shot out of a cannon. So the more
they can get him the football, the better they can
run the Bears, the more chance they have. But I
don't see it. I think aj Brown has a good week.
I think Dallas Goddard has a good week. I think
Sequon could finally have a good week for Ross. This
feels like it's been all season for this since we've
even said that. But I think the Eagles win this
game by I don't know, seven to ten.
Speaker 1: You brought up Sadors. Sanders are starting to use some
Browns players now with him back there, it felt like
it was a very fast, dark but a cool finish
for the Browns.
Speaker 22: Offensively, well, I mean, look what happens is by this
point just bad teams. You're able to take advantage of
bad teams. The Raiders are awful, I mean really awful.
And to make matters worse. I don't know if people
saw this. Ashton Genty got injured like on the last series,
Well tell me, somebody, please tell me why he was
even out there. I don't know, but there's a chance
he could miss this week. So getting back to Sanders.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked good.
Speaker 22: He threw a five yard pass to Dylan Sampson, who
ran the ball like seventy yards for a touchdown. I
mean he at least threw the ball to his wide receivers,
which Dylan Gabriel hasn't done yet at this point. I mean,
are they playable? I don't think so. I think the
forty nine ers are really good. I think the forty
nine Ers may be honestly one of the top three
teams in the NFC West, behind the Eagles and behind
the Rams.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Rams that go to Charlotte this week.
Did the Panthers become human? Last Monday?
Speaker 2: After the loss against the Niners, Doctor rodo you know.
Speaker 22: The problem with the Panthers is this? They want to
run the foot ball, but you have to stop the run.
When I was watching the game with my son, he
was home for Thanksgiving, We're watching the game. Carolina didn't
even get the ball for the first ten minutes of
the first quarter. My son said, I think Caroline's gonna
have a ball twice in the first half.
Speaker 1: Did it seem that way?
Speaker 22: If you can't control time of possession, you can't win.
I love Rico Dowdell in fantasy when Caroline is controlling
the line of scrimmage, when they're running the ball, well,
Rico Daddle's like a twenty to thirty point player. When
he doesn't, Rico Doaddell's going to get like six to
eight points against the Rams. The Rams control the line
of scrimmage. Stafford has been amazing, Puka Naku has been amazing.
So be very careful with your Panthers players this week.
I wouldn't play Bryce Young. I don't really want to
play ric o'dowdell to Troy and McMillan is a great receiver,
but I just think this is a really tough matchup.
You've got Adams, who's a muss start. You've got Kyron
Williams who's a muss start, Pooka and Matthew Stafford is
having an MVP season.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the local game, Texans and Colts.
The Colts literally, I think we had a reporter around
from Indianapolis. U shoulday that the running back Jonathan Taylor
ran the ball one time in the fourth quarter. The
chance I can can't do that two weeks in a row. Correct,
Oh no, not at all.
Speaker 22: I mean, you know, Elik neighbors got caught by saying
some crazy things and they had a delete to post,
but he wasn't wrong. It's like, why are teams doing
crazy things at the end of games? Why were the
Giants throwing the ball at the end of the fourth quarter?
Why were the Colts not giving the ball to Jonathan Taylor?
Does anybody know? I mean sure, I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 22: If Kansas City was playing good run defense, you still
give the ball to Taylor because all he needs is
a crease to go and make a big play. This
is a really good football game. I think a lot
here is going to depend on Woody Marks, our friend
Woody Marx, and Nico Collins. But right now I think
it's harder to throw on the Colts than ever. Kenny
Moore is back in the slot. Sauce Gardner is there,
Sarvarius Ward is there. That's tough. I think the Texan is.
I don't see a pathway to success unless one they
pressure Daniel Jones all game long, and two Woody Marks
gets really involved in this offense because I can see
Nico being shut down. Sauce Gardner's a tough matchup.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: There? You have it.
Speaker 1: That's doctor Ronal. We'll go to the phones next. If
you want to join our conversation, get your questions in
seven one three two one two five seven ninety seven
one three two one two five seven ninety It is
one thirteen.
Speaker 2: It is the Matt Thomas shold Ross here from San Francisco.
More we rotro next here on seven ninety jamis.
Speaker 1: Welcome to We will live together with doctor Roto helping
us out with our fantasy football seven one three two
one two five seven ninety seven one three two one
two five seven niney. Let's go to the phones and
talk to the great people of Houston, Texas. Matt and
Katie for doctor Rode. Go ahead, Matt, hey doctor. Two
quick questions.
Speaker 24: First one, I need to play a quarterback out of
Daniel Jones, Brock Party and Joe Burrow. Second question over
multiple leagues one point PPR. Could you rate these three
players one through three Michael Wilson, Jamison Williams and Jalen Warren.
Speaker 22: All right, great question. So firstly, you got at this
point of the season, we're totally focused on matchups. I
like James Jones, I don't want to play them against
the Texans defense. I won't play anybody against the Texans defense, right,
That's that's a rough one. Same thing with Purdy against
the Browns.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 22: But d I Joe Burrow first game back, that's worrisome
to me too. So you're really looking at kind of
a mess here. I hate to say that. I think
I'm probably leaning towards Joe Burrow. I don't know whether
the forty nine Ers and Browns explodes. Brock Purty was
very off. There's some bad throws. There was one point
that I turned to my son, I said, do you
think they'd be better off with Mac Jones? So I
think I'm going with Joe Burrow. So here's the problem
with Michael Wilson. Michael Wilson has been a revelation for
Arizona who never really has thrown to him before. But
Marvin Harrison Junior is back, and I think Trey Benson
is gonna be back. So when you have McBride and
you have Harrison and you have Benson, Wilson doesn't get featured.
So right now, who's the guy that gets featured? Jalen
Warren because Buffalo cannot stop the run. So I think
this week it's Warren one, probably Michael Wilson two Jamison
Williams three. Don't love Jamison Jamison unless he's playing man coverage.
That's when he really thrives. So I think I'm going
with Borrow and Warren here.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the.
Speaker 2: Phone call there. Let's go to Greg and Livingston for
Doctor Rodo Go ahead, Greg.
Speaker 17: Yes, Sir, A couple of quick ones Swift or Walker.
Speaker 4: Oh, and.
Speaker 17: I gotta I'm gotta make room for Borrow. So should
I drop Firmuth or Strange?
Speaker 18: And that's it?
Speaker 22: Yeah, thank you, Yeah, you're definitely dropping friar Mouth. I mean,
Strange came back in his first game off the IR
and he looked like he had an instant connection with
Trevor Lawrence. So hard to find a reliable tight end.
I think Stranger is a good one. So here's a
problem with DeAndre Swift. It's just a really rough matchup.
Speaker 18: It is.
Speaker 22: You're playing the Eagles, and like I told you, monong
guy by the in the goal line in the red zone,
he's looked good. So Kenneth Walker at home against the
Vikings without JJ McCarthy most likely start him.
Speaker 1: All right to josh on seven ninety for Doctor roadal
go ahead, Josh.
Speaker 20: Hey, guys, thanks for helping me. I got a tight
end question first with the Giants tight end or Evan Ingram,
and then the running back situation is a ETN Woodie
Margs or Pollard. Unless you want me to dump McMillan
and take two of those running back, I.
Speaker 22: Want you to don McMillan, So listen. It is really
hard to trust Tony Pollard at this point, but it's
not a terrible matchup. We're definitely playing UTN for sure,
one hundred percent of playing UTN. I think I'm gonna
go with Woody over Pollard. I think Woody is going
to have to be part of this process if if
Houston wants to win this game now. Evan Ingram has
been one of the bigger disappointments of the season. I mean,
this guy has a great name, comes to Denver and
they're throwing the ball to twenty seven different guys. THEO
Johnson's been good, whether it's Jamis Winston or Jackson Dart.
I know it's a tough matchup, but I think I'm
starting THEO Johnson.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the phone call.
Speaker 1: Seven one three two one two five seven ninety Kyle
is with Doctor Roto at one twenty two.
Speaker 25: Go ahead, Kyle, Hey, Doctor Roto, And y'all, I'm debating
between Kareem Hunt or DeAndre Swift in my flight.
Speaker 22: Yeah, so yeah, the problem with Hunt right now is
that Pacheco's back. So last week you could almost predict
that Hunt was going to get a touchdown. It was
just a great matchup. Is he still the goal line back?
Speaker 1: Maybe?
Speaker 22: Do we know that for sure?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 22: Do I think Pacheco is gonna get ten touches? Probably?
So there's just so much we don't know. But what
here's where we do know. Swift is gonna be involved.
They're gonna throw the balls him out of the backfield.
So I think he got a lane Swift all right?
Speaker 1: Seven one three, two, one two five seven ninety. Jake
is with us Doctor Roto at one twenty three, Go ahead.
Speaker 22: Jake.
Speaker 12: Hey, rby two Kenneth Walker, David Montgomery or Kamani Vidal.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 22: So here's the thing with Kamani Vidal, he's a great start.
If Hampton's not back, right, we know the Raiders are bad,
So the question is Hampton was brought back that he's
able to he's eligible to play. I saw some video
of him. He looked good in practice, but we don't
know if he's gonna play.
Speaker 1: So here's what I'm doing.
Speaker 22: If I'm you, I'm gonna not play Montgomery. Why because
I want the flexibility to play Vidal. If Adal isn't
going and Anton's back, then then you pivot to Walker
and you're good to go. So I think that's the
right move here. Let's wait on that because look, Chargers
against the Raiders, Chargers scoring four touchdowns in that one.
Speaker 2: All right, seven one three two one two five seven
ninety JP for doctor Ronal Go ahead, GP, Hey don got.
Speaker 21: A quick question.
Speaker 15: Need a flex spot, and I'm looking at Gainwell running
back from Pittsburgh, or de Neal running back for New Orleans,
or possibly see Watson wide receiver from Green Bay. Love
to hear your pots, buddy, Thank.
Speaker 1: You, JP.
Speaker 22: Yeah, those are all actually pretty good choices. So look,
how do you beat the Bills? You run the football
and Gaywell will be involved, and they've been using him
a lot recently, so I don't think that's a bad start.
I really do like Devin Neil. If Alvin Kamaraz ruled out,
which we don't know that for sure. Taysom Hill's going
to be involved. But Devin Neil is a good player.
He was good at Kansas the last couple of years.
Right now, Christian Watson is a boomer bus play. So
the Lions play a lot of man coverage, Watson's should
be in play. Here's the problem with Watson. They have
so many guys, so many options, right, so meaning in
terms of do they throw to Dobbs, Jayden Reed is
going to be back. Jacob's hard to predict, So I'll
pass on Watson. I'll probably wait till the last second.
If I see that Kamara is officially out and Neil
is going to start, let's give him a shot against
the Dolphins.
Speaker 2: A few emails are coming in, Agbuka or McMillan. Choose
one of those guys.
Speaker 22: Yeah, you're gonna play, Buka. I was just actually reading
something during the break where the Cardinals play the most
cover four in all of football, and there's nobody who
thrives against that defense more than a Buka. So I
expect Baker to play. He's a tough dude. Even if
he doesn't, Teddy two Gloves can figure it out.
Speaker 1: Henderson Walker Irving running back two of those three play
who does not?
Speaker 22: Oh man, you're killing me on this one.
Speaker 6: Normally.
Speaker 22: I mean, I'm playing who's the third guy? Henderson Walker?
And I'm playing Bucky Irving for sure? Right if Buck, Yeah,
we're playing him. The problem is that Giants are so
bad against the run. Look at what happened with Gibbs.
You know, look who can we say is Gibbs light?
Trevon Henderson has that kind of explosive game. So I'm
gonna go Henderson and Bucky Irving.
Speaker 2: Hunter, Henry or Dalton Kincaid.
Speaker 22: I think I don't even know if Dalton Kinkaid is playing.
He's still dealing with a hamstring. So you know, Henry
against the Giants looks good. And you know what, if
kin Kid does play, because Henry's playing on Monday Night,
you can wait till the very last second.
Speaker 2: PPR League Javanta Williams or Breece Hall.
Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question.
Speaker 22: I you know what, Wow, give me a little Breece Hall.
The Jets actually look like a real team with Tyron Taylor.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 22: See what happens when you have a quarterback that actually
can complete a pass or two. Maybe the Jets win
this game. I know this game is close. I mean
Vegas doesn't see it as high scoring, but they see
it as close. So look, Javonte Williams a good player,
but this game could get out of hand. If it's
out of hand, they're going to pass more. I'm fine
with b.
Speaker 1: All Right, Otn or Kincaid at tight end.
Speaker 22: I think we have to go Oughton for now unless
we know the Kincaid's playing. It's just a little too
soon in the week.
Speaker 2: Ed wide receiver Michael Wilson or Troy Franklin.
Speaker 22: I don't love Troy Franklin. I think this is going
to be a Subton week. So let's let's stick with
Wilson for now.
Speaker 1: All right. And last one Hampton coming off the angel list.
Speaker 2: Who gets cut?
Speaker 1: Godwin, Henry Hunt or R. J.
Speaker 2: Harvey in a twelve man PPR league.
Speaker 22: I think we're cutting either Hunt or Godwin. I don't
want to cut Godwin. I think Godwin's going to be
the key to Tampa Bay's playoff hopes. He's going to
see more snaps as the season goes on. Hunt is
interesting because if Pacheck go's there, Hunt goes from like
a twelve to fifteen touch guy to like five to eight,
so I think we probably could get rid of him. Look,
you're gonna be starting Hampton every week. If Hampton goes down,
your team's probably going in flames.
Speaker 1: All right, Lady Jim, When we asked, Doctor ord will
give us an one hundred absolute successful person and that's
gonna help your fancy team.
Speaker 2: This week, we present to you Doctor Rodo's.
Speaker 1: Lock of the Week MT.
Speaker 22: We don't often say this, but the Miami Dolphins are
in a good spot this week. They may actually win
this game. And this guy Devona Chan, you guys all
know him well from Texas A and M He has
been so explosive this year playing the Saints, who may
not have Alvin Kamara. I think Devana Chan is locked
for one hundred yards in a touchdown.
Speaker 1: And that, my friends, is Doctor Rodo's walk of the week.
Are you working tomorrow, Rodo?
Speaker 22: I'm be watching I'll be home watching football with the
family for sure, So we're always on empty right football.

d r r ot o over on Twitter.
Speaker 1: He's a great follow d r r ot O. Happy
Thanksgiving to the entire Rotal family. We'll do this back
on our normal Friday spot next week. Thank you for
the time.
Speaker 2: As always, wait sent to universe. Take care.
Speaker 1: You got doctor Orto with us here on Sports Talks
Money Really Quick.
Speaker 4: CJ.
Speaker 1: Straud is practicing today as expected, he is progressing towards
being cleared from concussion protocol. Same goes for Jalen Petrie.
Speaker 2: We hear from the head football coach of our Houston
Cougar is next. His name is Willie Fritz. One twenty
nine on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 1: Talis show Woman to spend a few minutes here with
our good friend Willie Fritz. He is the head football
coach of your Houston Cougar is.
Speaker 2: Going to play a game Saturday in Waco for the
eleven o'clock start and Willie is with us here, coach,
thank you for the time. As always, these eleven o'clock
starts are becoming a kind of a regular thing for.
Speaker 1: The University of Houston. The kids, I know they practiced early,
but getting up and being ready for a game day
may be two different things.
Speaker 8: Well it is a little bit different, and you know,
I kind of like them myself, to be honest with you.
But you know, we get up through all. We are
already dealt with practice for today, sinished a couple of
hours ago.
Speaker 22: So yeah, we start off.
Speaker 8: We had meetings at seven thirty in the morning, and
then we probably from nine to fifteen to eleven to
fifteen most days, so our guys are used to it.
But you know, the TV kind of sets the game
time and whatever it is. We got to go out
and play at that time and play the very best
we possibly can. And you know, we try not to
change the schedule up very much. What we do is
far as meetings and walk through and time to go
to bed, and you know, we try to eat three
and a half hours, you know, before the game and
different things like that. And you know, the warm up
is the same, so we try to keep it the same,
whether it's a eleven o'clock game or I think we've
played an eight o'clock game against Oregon State, you know,
at their time, you know, so so that was quite
quite a contrast. But try to keep the same skin
as much as we can.
Speaker 2: No matter where you have gone. You have been undefeated
this year away from home. I don't know if it's
coincidental or not, but in your mind, this is a
football team that puts on the white jerseys and doesn't
seem to be phased by it at all.
Speaker 8: Well, you know, it's I think part of that is
happening the same schedule, you know, and doing the same
things the same way. And even though we talk like
crazy about trying to eliminate distractions, you know, when you
start getting forty eight hours prior to the game and
then same thing twenty four hours and resting.
Speaker 5: And recovering and staying off your feet, you know.
Speaker 8: Hydrating and eating properly, you know, all those different things,
studying your playbook. You know, it just seems you know,
the guys who've done a good job of that all year.
And sometimes it's also based on your schedule, you know,
I like home and away games obviously, So you know,
you just got to do what the schedule tells you
to do and play the very best you can. But
we have got to very nice job this season on
the road.
Speaker 2: You closed out the home slid.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the loss to TCU, it felt like to me,
if you were to describe the game missed opportunities, is
that the way you could kind of see it.
Speaker 8: No, you're exactly right. You know, we had an opportunity
there on the goal line before halftime, and you know
that that hurt us. You know, it hurt us not
only that we didn't didn't score, but hurt us that
they got the ball out on the twenty with the
interception of the end zone. And you know we talk
all the time about four point plays, you know, scoring
touchdowns instead of kicking field goals. You know those are
you know, it's a big uh indicator who's gonna win
the game? Who scores touchdowns in the red zone and
kicksfield goals. So there was some opportunities that we didn't
take advantage of. Unfortunately.
Speaker 22: Uh, you know, we got to do better job of that.
Speaker 8: As I said many times before, every body in this
league's pretty good, right if you don't play good, you
have a tough time winning. Played real good, you got
a good chance of winning. So, you know, we played
some close ones. We've won, We've played a couple of
close ones lost. You know, you just got to play
well and you got to you make the plays when
they're there to be made.
Speaker 1: I have some very good friends, Willie that are tculums
and have gone to a lot of games this year,
and the one thing they told me before the game
Saturday was, you'll know what TCU squad showed up probably
by the end.
Speaker 2: Of the first quarter. Do you size things up like that?
Speaker 1: Part of me was thinking they were obviously very embarrassed
with the way they played against b YU the previous week,
that they were going to give you everything they had because, look,
they want to go to a bowl game. They want
to go to a better bowl game. You guys a
lot to play for.
Speaker 2: And I thought when they were competitive early on and
scored early, that this was going to be a knockdown
dragon type of game.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they did a good job early in the games,
especially a first series. You know, you know, sometimes you
know get late the year, it's hard to you know, replicate,
you know, the speed of the game in practice, especially
when you're banged up a little bit and things like that.
But they did a very good job at first drive,
going down the field scoring a touchdown. And you know,
we uh, you know, played played a very good defense
in the second half. First half. You know, we gave
up a few big plays. Heck, the field goal in
the second half and based more on a big pump
return behind than anything else. Get in the good starting
field position. But yeah, it's you know, when we start
off good, and sometimes that's what gives you confidence. But
you got to just keep playing even if you don't
start off good, which is the case with us, and
that's happened to us a few times this year. We
didn't play real well early and then we started coming
on later in the game. And you know, so it's
got to keep weather in the storm throughout the ball game,
all right.
Speaker 1: This Batler trip to Waco will feature a team there
at five and six. They do score a lot of points,
will as you know, a thought or two about Sawyer
Robertson basically three to one on the touchdowns, got thirty
three hundred yards through the air. Tell me when when
they're dolling up and scoring. They look like they're a
pretty fierce team, but there are the victims themselves of
some silly turnovers that wind up getting games out of
the way for them.
Speaker 8: You know, they're really loaded on the offensive side of
the ball. Huge offensive line, really big, I got a
big tight end, had a great game against just last year,
a big wide receiver six five out on the perimeter.
So they're really loaded with skilled kids. And then, like
you said, a veteran quarterback and Robertson who knows where
you put the ball. So yeah, it's our defense is
going to have to play great early.
Speaker 1: Last question for you, Will I know the kids are
excited about the postseason and playing in a bowl game.
Speaker 2: Do you try to squash that?
Speaker 1: How often is that conversation brought up to your kids
your position coaches.
Speaker 2: Are they naturally interested or are they saying, you know what,
we can have this visit maybe in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 22: Yeah, you know, I think they know that. Nobody said
said anything to me about it. We know we're going
to play in a bowl game.
Speaker 8: We're excited about that.
Speaker 22: That's great for the program.
Speaker 8: Uh, but you know, we want to finish this regular
season out and you know, great man or nine and
three year two, it's fantastic. And you know we've you know,
got a tough opponent, you know, to be able to
get there to nine and three, and you know we're
just gonna have to play as well as we can Saturday.
I know it sounded like a broken record, but everybody
in this league is is pretty darn good, and you
know that's going to be the case. You know, this
this weekend is Saturday, two good teams playing against each other,
and we just need to elevate or play and play
better than we did last Saturday and come out of there.
Speaker 1: With a win. Well. I love the fact that media
was wrong and saying the squad was not gonna do
well this year. To have eight and maybe get a
ninth win is something to be proud of for you
and your staff and those course of course those kids. Willie,
thank you for the time, safe travels to Waco, have
you think, give it to you and the family and
we'll talk again before the Bull game. Thank you, go cooogs,
you got it. That's Willie Fritz joining us here on
the program one forty on Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: Cougar's taking on the Baylor Bears. It'll be eleven o'clock start.
It will be over on nine to fifty KPRC, and
I will have the pregame show for you beginning at
ten a m. All right, we've got to believe or
not coming up?
Speaker 1: What is the category today? Sports?

Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I think I heard you once in the last forty minutes.
Speaker 1: I'm just just curious, get us neck, get arrest.
Speaker 2: I'm all over things. I think he's working unelieve it

Speaker 1: On, believe or not?
Speaker 3: I know, I'm messing with you.
Speaker 2: Happy Thanksgiving, Ross, Thanks. I want you to have a nice,
nice Turkey day.
Speaker 1: Get in the car dressed to Austin, pay one hundred
and twenty five dollars and have a great too. Gate.
Speaker 3: Uh, I mean we'll see that one hundred and twenty
five dollars for a tailgate would be ridiculous.
Speaker 1: All right, So what's our ending number on the Twitter
verse about how your what are your options at this point?
I think the listenership is low. A venue venue, use
some money?
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, went on, Yeah, if you got a suggestion
for a tailgate at the ut game. I'm all ears
at sports RV and.
Speaker 2: You can have two potentially three am guess that you
won't anticipated having.
Speaker 1: And say three days, well, it'd be two. I'll definitely
get my brother and Gordy. We'll see Gordy's he gave
as a guest on our show.
Speaker 2: We got a take care of Gordon. My brother got
