Now, 42 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,319 boys and girls, it was a slow week in and 43 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,639 around the Texas college football world, with a number of 44 00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:35,120 programs having bye weeks. Texas Texas A and m SMU 45 00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:39,199 Texas Tech the Sooners up to our North. The UTSA 46 00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:43,159 Roadrunners were off, the Texas State Bobcats were off. But 47 00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:46,479 we've still got some important matchups here over the week. 48 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,840 And one local school and when I say local, I 49 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,479 mean right in my backyard. That holy crap, what are 50 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560 they drinking in the water? And Denton over there with 51 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,199 the North Texas mean Green five and oh for the 52 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,199 first time, it's the fifties, since before even me and 53 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:07,639 Joe Green arrived to town at the old Fouts Field. 54 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,159 But let's start the show off with Connor Wigman and 55 00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:18,919 the Houston Cougars as they best the Oregon State Beavers. 56 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,879 A struggling Oregon State Beavers team, by the way, they 57 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,159 are winless on the season. They're zero to five now 58 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,919 after a twenty seven to twenty four defeat at the 59 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,840 hands of our Houston Cougars and Connor Wigman. It did 60 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,599 go to overtime. The Beavers had a shot to break 61 00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:39,240 that winless streak, but up in Corvallis, Ethan Sanchez kicked 62 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,439 a twenty four yard field goal in overtime and Houston 63 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,719 rallied from a fourth quarter deficit for a twenty seven 64 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:48,520 to twenty four victory over Oregon State last Friday night. 65 00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:51,199 Wigman threw for two hundred and seventy yards and two 66 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,319 long fourth quarter touchdowns for the Cougs, who are now 67 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,560 four and oh, their best start since twenty sixteen, when 68 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,800 they opened with five straight wins. M Murphy threw for 69 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,319 two hundred and one yards and a touchdown for Oregon State, 70 00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:06,520 which now falls, as I mentioned, to zero and five 71 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,639 on the season. The Cougars trailed twenty four to ten 72 00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:14,280 in the fourth quarter, but Wigman threw a twenty seven 73 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,959 yard touchdown pass to Steven Johnson to close the gap 74 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,040 with just five point fifty nine left. Houston tied it 75 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,399 with Wigman's fifty yard pass to cant Tanner Cooisele with 76 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:30,639 three forty to go, and it was a kind of surprise. 77 00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:31,639 Speaker 2: Come from behind. 78 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: When the way the Cougars could not move the ball, 79 00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:37,079 they could not score for the majority of the game. 80 00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:41,680 Houston coach Willie Fritz commented after game of how much 81 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,839 of a hard win it was. He noted they didn't 82 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,240 play very well in the first half, particularly on offense, 83 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,720 but somehow they put it together in the second half 84 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,120 and mainly in the fourth quarter when the team needed 85 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,839 it the most. The Beavers got within field goal range 86 00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:57,600 with five seconds left on the clock, but backup kicker 87 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,519 Cameron Smith's twenty I'm sorry forty six yard attempt was 88 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,519 blocked and the game went into overtime. Oregon State's fourth 89 00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:08,480 and one attempt felled in overtime before Sanchez's game winning 90 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,639 field goal. Cozoyle said, I mean nothing brings a team 91 00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:14,560 closer than a game like this. Now we've looked at 92 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,560 each other in the face of a loss and brought 93 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,279 it out to a win. We're going to come back 94 00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,639 stronger end quote. And that's kind of the first time 95 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,879 that Houston's been put in this type of situation in 96 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,040 a game, being down that much and needing a last minute, 97 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,959 fourth quarter comeback, and it builds character. Wigman's been in 98 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,319 that situation before at A and M. He certainly has 99 00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:40,920 the skills, has the know how, has the knowledge to 100 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,279 bring a team back like that. He just hasn't been 101 00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:47,319 faced with that in his time in Houston yet. And 102 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,360 now you've got past that. I think it was good 103 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,439 for coach Fritz. It was definitely good for the team 104 00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:55,720 to experience that. And yes, it does bring you closer 105 00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:58,160 together when you get a scare like that and you're 106 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,839 able to pull it off for sure. But you know, overall, man, 107 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,519 Houston's performance, they've got some some things they need to 108 00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:11,000 look at here, most definitely heading into week six, uh 109 00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:15,920 as they're going to have uh you know they what 110 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,480 God ad look look at look in the mirror, look 111 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,439 yourself in the mirror. Uh, to to figure out some 112 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,319 deficiencies here. There wasn't finger pointing. This isn't that kind 113 00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:27,560 of team. There's no finger pointing. But as you prepare 114 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,319 to play number eleven Texas Tech this weekend, man, you're 115 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,560 going to have to play better than you did against 116 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,839 Oregon State and come up with some answers ahead of 117 00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:42,560 Texas Tech. Because te Texas Tech is firing on all cylinders. 118 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,040 They are also unbeaten. They're playing way better than you 119 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:51,160 are right now. And uh, just that's look and it's 120 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:54,839 it's it's it's at home. You have a home game 121 00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:57,319 against Texas Tech, so you will be in Houston. That'll 122 00:06:57,319 --> 00:06:59,480 be good for you. But right now, the way this 123 00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:04,560 team performed against Oregon State, it certainly has some question marks. 124 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:11,160 It certainly raises some eyebrows, and you definitely have some 125 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,959 answers that you need to find two questions, especially on offense, 126 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,160 especially on offense. 127 00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:19,759 Speaker 2: So Houston moving forward. 128 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,399 Speaker 1: Again against Texas Tech, that'll be a good one. Texas 129 00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:25,399 Tech up to number eleven. They were off as I 130 00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:29,600 mentioned this past week, so plenty of time to prepare 131 00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:36,160 for the Houston Cougars. Connor Wigman and Willie Fritz another local. 132 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,079 We're supposed to have our transition. I have like transition music, 133 00:07:39,079 --> 00:07:40,399 and I don't know if I'm gonna or not music, 134 00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:42,600 but like sound effects. I'm gonna play with it and 135 00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:44,600 see if I can somehow put this on the video 136 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:47,000 as well. But we go when we change topics, we're 137 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,560 supposed to do this. I don't know what do you think, y'all? 138 00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:53,319 Let me know if we like that to change topics 139 00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:56,000 or a fight should just go Dinger's click a bell 140 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,959 or something. When I change games and change teams, I 141 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,720 don't know. I'm still kind of new to doing this 142 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,319 talking about so many teams on one show. I certainly 143 00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:08,120 implore you if you have a better way for me 144 00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:11,000 to transition from subject to subject, team to team, program 145 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,920 to program, let me know should I should it be 146 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,319 a bell or are we okay with. 147 00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. Let's figure something out, you guys. 148 00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:22,879 Speaker 1: Let me know at any cartim on all social media channels, 149 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,199 or if you're watching the video, just comment underneath the 150 00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:29,240 video in the comment section. Let me know what you 151 00:08:29,279 --> 00:08:33,879 think we should do or if anything to transition to 152 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,960 break up the monotony here of my voice for certain, 153 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,679 let's move on now to your Yeah, let's move on 154 00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:46,799 now to the Baylor Bears as they improved to one 155 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:49,799 in one in Big twelve play with a forty five 156 00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:55,080 to twenty seven win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys, one 157 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,159 of our few teams up to the north here that 158 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,000 are playing this week, and just wasn't a good day. 159 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:03,720 The Oklahoma State Cowboys as a program, of course, are 160 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:09,639 in disarray, huge disarray right now, getting rid of Gandhi 161 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,279 after so many years. It's it was our first game 162 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,799 without Gundhy and it did not go well. Twenty seven 163 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:23,360 points offensively though, that's certainly not anything to laugh at. 164 00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:26,960 But man, defensively, the Cowboys just had nothing to answer 165 00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:29,879 for Baylor in the forty five to twenty seven win. 166 00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: Sawyer Robertson throws four. 167 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: Touchdowns in the spoiler in the first game without Gundy 168 00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:41,440 on the sidelines. He also threw for three hundred and 169 00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:46,519 ninety three yards. And you know, again, the first game 170 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,639 without Gundy in more than twenty years. And I'm sure 171 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,960 it felt weird for the players, it felt weird for 172 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,919 the fans. But you know what, that's that's the game, 173 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,519 right It's the business of the game. That's college football. 174 00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:02,960 And you deal with it and you move on. And 175 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,240 you know, their searchs for their their their permanent coach. 176 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,320 Is it going to be Doug meacham there in? Who knows, 177 00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:14,039 he's fairly new to the program. They may seek out 178 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,159 somebody with a little more experience, maybe from one of 179 00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:20,120 those smaller conferences. I'm sure there are names that we 180 00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:23,279 will get into next week when we when we see 181 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,039 some of those and I've seen some now, but I 182 00:10:25,039 --> 00:10:26,320 don't want to. You know, they're in the middle of 183 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,879 their season. I don't know how much they're looking to replace. 184 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,639 Meet them here in the middle of the thing. They'll 185 00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:34,159 probably wait till the offseason to make any decisions or 186 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,960 to take anything seriously there, and. 187 00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: That's how we should address it too, right. 188 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,279 Speaker 1: Robertson through each of his touchdown passes to a different 189 00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:43,399 player and also ran for a score. Josh Cameron caught 190 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,879 six passes for ninety eight yards for the Bears, who 191 00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:51,960 had six hundred and twelve total yards of offense. Baylor 192 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,360 coach Dave Randa took nothing for granted coming into the day, 193 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,600 especially with the Cowboys trying to turn their season around 194 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,360 and get a win for meet them in his first game. 195 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,240 Dave Rannis said, quote, it's very very difficult place to play. 196 00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:05,279 The crowd's right there on you, and when the crowd 197 00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:07,240 has energy, it is a loud spot. 198 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: End quote. 199 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: And yes, it is a loud spot up there in Stillwater. 200 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,840 I can attest to that personally. Zane Flores passed for 201 00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:15,639 a career high two hundred and thirty two yards and 202 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,879 Trent Howland had a career high had career highs of 203 00:11:17,919 --> 00:11:21,159 eighty four yards and two touchdowns on the ground for 204 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,519 the Cowboys, again one in three overall, zho to one 205 00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:27,679 in the conference. Now so despite the loss, though, you 206 00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:29,960 have to feel good. It was kind of a significant 207 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,559 improvement for the Cowboys when you look at their previous 208 00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:37,799 losses sixty nine to three to Oregon, nineteen. 209 00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:38,399 Speaker 2: To twelve to Tulsa. 210 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,759 Speaker 1: The Cowboys did post a season high offensively of four 211 00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:45,600 hundred and forty eight yards. Meets Them said after the 212 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,320 game quote, it's a testament to Mike building a culture here, 213 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,480 picking the right kind of guys that will fight through 214 00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:53,360 adversity and come together as a team. And I think 215 00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:56,039 that I was really impressed with that part. Had a 216 00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:58,639 lot of fun. They were having fun, and that's really 217 00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:02,480 what this is all about. In vote Well, Doug, that's 218 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:08,240 real easy to say when you lose and when your 219 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,399 program's kind of in at shambles. I know you just 220 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,720 took over the job, but that's not really what it's about. 221 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,279 It's about winning, and you didn't win. But at the 222 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:22,639 same time, let's celebrate the I guess the performance. It 223 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,279 wasn't a bad offensive performance. Again, we talked about defensively though, 224 00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:30,159 but yeah, let's build the kids up. I don't like 225 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,720 that statement that's really what it's about, because it's not. 226 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,279 But you know, maybe that's part of the problem up there. 227 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,279 Maybe that was part of the culture Mike was building 228 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,320 up there, that it's just, hey, let's go have fun. 229 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if we win or lose. Let's go. 230 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: Let's just go have fun. Of course, there's no way 231 00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:49,480 that Mike was doing that. I speaking jest, but again, 232 00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:50,799 it kind of maybe gives you a little bit of 233 00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:52,759 an indication that there's a little bit of a problem 234 00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:56,480 up there in still Water. Oklahoma State showed early that 235 00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:58,919 it planned to open things up offensively. The Cowboys scored 236 00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:01,519 their first points of meet tenure on a double pass. 237 00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:05,279 Receiver Sam Jackson the fifth completed a twenty six yard 238 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,320 touchdown pass to tighten Josh Ford that tied the game 239 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,120 at seven in the first quarter. Robertson threw three touchdown 240 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,679 passes in the first half to help Baylor take a 241 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,840 twenty eight to twenty lead at the break, despite Oklahoma 242 00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:19,320 State outgaining the Bears three forty nine to two eighty 243 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,639 five by the half, Howland added it to his career 244 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,399 day by throwing a thirteen yard completion then running it 245 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,919 in from a yard out on the next play to 246 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,919 cut Baylor's lead to thirty five to twenty. Seven in 247 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,639 the third, but that was the closest that Oklahoma State 248 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,600 would get on the scoreboard. The Cowboys were conservative on 249 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,600 offense in their first three games, but under Meacham, as 250 00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:43,480 I mentioned, they showed early that they were going to 251 00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:46,799 open things up. They took more chances on Saturday, and 252 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,159 they got positive results from those chances. They had five 253 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,000 passing attempts by non quarterbacks, four from Jackson and one 254 00:13:53,039 --> 00:13:56,639 from Howland. Jackson completed three or four passes for forty 255 00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:59,879 six yards, and meet them implied that Jackson will continue. 256 00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: To throw the all. They're making that part of their offense. 257 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: He said, quote moving forward, I mean, if I'm on 258 00:14:04,919 --> 00:14:07,559 defense and he's on the field, you better back up 259 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,960 a little bit or base up a little bit, because 260 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,000 that kid's a weapon. 261 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 2: End quote. 262 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: Hey, there's always the element of surprise, right when you 263 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,480 can't when you can't beat them straight, just the element 264 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,559 of surprise, right, So whatever it takes to win, I'm 265 00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:27,200 okay with that. The four Baylor players who caught touchdown 266 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,879 passes were Cole Wilson, Michael Trigg, Kobe Prentiss, and the 267 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,120 tight end Klopfenstein always wanted to say that name on 268 00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:40,879 the year. Matthew Klopfenstein apprentice is seventy three yard touchdown 269 00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:43,840 grabs for passed his full game total for yards receiving. 270 00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:48,559 So now what's up for Baylor. Well, they appear to 271 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,759 have the offensive firepower now to compete in the Big Twelve, 272 00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:54,600 but the defense was a little bit leaky, as it 273 00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:57,080 has been all season. The Cowboys, of course, showing that 274 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,840 they have a pulse and that could be enough to 275 00:14:59,879 --> 00:15:02,240 say satisfy the fans and attendance who were active and 276 00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:05,919 loud throughout the game. They just needed change right up 277 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,440 in still Water. You just had to show something and 278 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,639 that wasn't gonna happen with Gundhi. The message had become stale, 279 00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:15,919 his coaching had become stale. And I don't know, it 280 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,399 might have been a couple of games too late. I 281 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,720 know you don't want to move on from a guy 282 00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:21,799 super early in the season like that, but you had 283 00:15:21,799 --> 00:15:23,960 to have signs in the off season that this was 284 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,200 coming here. Just a couple of years removed from competing 285 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,519 for a Big Twelve title, by the way, against these 286 00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:30,279 Baylor Bears. 287 00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:32,799 Speaker 2: But man, it's. 288 00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: Just just a bad look for the for the Cowboys 289 00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:40,759 up in still Water. But as I mentioned, we had 290 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,159 most of the teams here in Texas that we normally 291 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,600 talk about off, uh, so we're gonna expand things just 292 00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:52,120 a little bit. For the Baylor Bears though. Moving forward, 293 00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:57,840 how at three and two they are preparing now for 294 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:03,480 Kansas State on Saturday. It's an ESPs ESPN plus game 295 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,480 for the for the Bears at eleven am. And then 296 00:16:09,519 --> 00:16:15,559 if I can open my schedule for your Oklahoma State Cowboys. 297 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,639 As you know, technology is always a great thing until 298 00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:21,240 you need to rely on it, and you need to 299 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:24,279 depend on it, and it's just not always a great 300 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,039 thing when you. 301 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:26,519 Speaker 2: Need it to be. 302 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: As the Oklahoma State Cowboys again one and three overall 303 00:16:30,559 --> 00:16:33,720 on one one now in your Big twelve prepare for 304 00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:37,279 their next game because I continue to stall here on 305 00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:41,799 Saturday at Arizona, and that is at a T and 306 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:43,919 T game that will also will be on True TV 307 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,279 and over on HBO Max. That is two pm Central 308 00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:50,639 time at Arizona. So things not getting too much easier 309 00:16:50,679 --> 00:16:54,240 for the Bear, for the Cowboys or the Bears for 310 00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:58,679 that matter. But as we transition, I like that maybe 311 00:16:58,679 --> 00:17:03,279 we'll stick with that. We have to get into the 312 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,480 hottest team in the state of Texas right now. It's 313 00:17:05,519 --> 00:17:10,119 not the Aggies, it's not the Cougars. It's definitely not 314 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:16,200 the Longhorns, not the Bears, not the Mustangs. Maybe Texas 315 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,240 Tech might have something to say about this, but overall, 316 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,599 how about those five and oh? North Texas mean green? 317 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,799 Or is it those mean greens? I really suck at 318 00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:32,319 plural things in the English language when it's worded this way. 319 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,519 The North there, the North Texas mean green green. I 320 00:17:36,519 --> 00:17:41,240 guess could be singular or plural as I digress thirty 321 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,759 six to twenty two over those South Alabama Jaguars one 322 00:17:44,759 --> 00:17:48,279 and four, they're zero to two on the road. Hawkins 323 00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:50,640 scores three times to lead North Texas to a thirty 324 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,240 six twenty two win over South Alabama and a fight 325 00:17:54,319 --> 00:17:57,960 an impressive five and oh start Caleb Hawkins third touchdown 326 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,920 of the game and sued North Texas six to twenty 327 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,079 two win on Saturday, the mein greener five and oh 328 00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:07,119 on the field for the first time since nineteen fifty nine. 329 00:18:09,079 --> 00:18:12,359 That's not including nineteen seventy seven, when North Texas began 330 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,000 five and oh, but only after a season opening loss 331 00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:19,720 to Mississippi State that was later forfeited by the Bulldogs, 332 00:18:19,759 --> 00:18:22,799 So yeah, that doesn't count. This is a legit five 333 00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:25,720 and oh. On the field, Hawkins had one hundred and forty 334 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,680 yards rushing on sixteen carries with two scores seventy eight 335 00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:32,720 yards receiving with a touchdown. Hawkins had one hundred and 336 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,559 forty yards rushing on sixteen carries. 337 00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 2: I just said that, didn't I. 338 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,559 Speaker 1: He has seven touchdowns in two weeks, after scoring four 339 00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:41,160 times in a forty five to thirty eight overtime win 340 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,559 over Army last week. His final score was a twenty 341 00:18:43,559 --> 00:18:46,200 seven yard run with two minutes remaining, during which he 342 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,000 broke multiple tackles. That came after the Jags close to 343 00:18:50,039 --> 00:18:53,119 it in six when Ken Trell Bullock scored on a 344 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,119 two yard run to cap a ten play eighty seven 345 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,039 yard drive with six to eleven remaining. Hawkins scored on 346 00:18:58,079 --> 00:18:59,960 a six yard run to give North Texas a fourteen 347 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,799 to seven half time lead, then took a screen past 348 00:19:02,839 --> 00:19:05,400 sixty eight yards early in the third quarter for a score. 349 00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:09,200 Drew Mestemaker was fourteen or twenty six passing for two 350 00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:11,079 hundred and thirty four yards and a score for the 351 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,319 Mean Greens Mean Green Mean Greens, and he also ran 352 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,519 for a touchdown. Miles Coleman also scored on the ground 353 00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:22,160 Bishop Davenport seventeen to thirty four for one to ninety 354 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,319 five in a touchdown. He also took an interception for 355 00:19:24,319 --> 00:19:28,799 the Jaguars. He also ran in a score Devin Voice 356 00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:31,240 and had ninety seven yards receiving on five catches. And 357 00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:33,759 Rod Gibbs also had a touchdown catch for the Jags, 358 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,359 which has lost. 359 00:19:35,079 --> 00:19:37,079 Speaker 2: Now four straight. 360 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,279 Speaker 1: But the North Texas Mean Green are the topic of 361 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:45,079 conversation as they should be here locally in North Texas. No, 362 00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:47,759 I don't mean just North Texas because that's the school, 363 00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:50,880 but geographically here in North Texas, in an area that 364 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:58,000 includes TCU, that includes SMU. But yeah, there are good 365 00:19:58,079 --> 00:20:01,359 things and mess to make is the also the topic 366 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,160 of conversation after if I here heard this correctly, not 367 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,160 ever having started in high school or at any level 368 00:20:10,279 --> 00:20:13,400 of football, he finally gets his chance in Denton, and 369 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,920 he is making the most of things at five and 370 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,880 oh now the Mean Green three and oh at home 371 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,599 uh And it's man, if you have not caught a 372 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,000 Mean Green game, if you are, I guess potentially a 373 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,079 fan of you know another program whatever. 374 00:20:28,599 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 2: That's fine. 375 00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:34,039 Speaker 1: If you want some exciting football, go check out a 376 00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:37,039 North Texas Mean Green game. They are They're on TV 377 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,599 pretty much every week and if you're local, go catch 378 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:45,240 a game there at Dat Coup Stadium. They had sixteen thousand, 379 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,920 almost seventeen thousand on hand last week, not nearly enough 380 00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:54,640 watching the North Texas Mean Green. Go support your Mean Greens, 381 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,000 Green Greens. It is a good brand of football and 382 00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:04,440 it is fun to watch. Just a high, high scoring offense. 383 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,119 Uh and for the most part, a pretty smothering defense 384 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,839 as well. Again, they're not quite the Texas Tech Red Raiders, 385 00:21:10,839 --> 00:21:12,839 but if you're in the area here, that is a 386 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,720 good brand of football. Get behind the North Texas Mean Green, unless, 387 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,279 of course you uh, you're not.

They have not yet played a conference. 403 00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:10,079 None of these teams, and I'm about to mention it 404 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,880 played the conference game yet. Temple two and two overall 405 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,880 U T S eight.

That American Conference is something to watch. Two man, 414 00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:47,039 there's some good teams. That is an entertaining conference. For 415 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:53,039 those of you that strictly choose to watch the Big Four, 416 00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:55,839 I guess now the Power four, since we don't really 417 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,359 have a back twelve kind of Yet again we're supposed 418 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,880 to starting what next year, They're supposed to come back 419 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,799 with some new members, but that's neither here nor there. 420 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,279 Speaker 2: We don't really care about any of that. 421 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: Moving on now, as we say goodbye to North Texas 422 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:23,359 and South South Alabama, let's check out those Texas State Bobcats. 423 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,839 Speaker 2: As you know we have. 424 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,279 Speaker 1: We don't pay just a ton of attention to the 425 00:23:31,319 --> 00:23:34,759 Texas State Bobcats, who were off this week, of course, 426 00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:36,200 but I did want to mention them because I don't 427 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:36,920 think we mentioned. 428 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,559 Speaker 2: Them last week. 429 00:23:38,839 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: Three and one overall, they're two and oh at home. 430 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,119 They had a big win over the Nichols Colonels thirty 431 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:48,400 five to three the week prior, and they're another high 432 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,920 powered offense that we need to pay attention to. I know, 433 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,519 the Nichols Colonels aren't, you know, with traditional college football powerhouse, 434 00:23:55,599 --> 00:24:01,119 but they're you know, in the I guess in the 435 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,000 overall in the sun belt here, Texas State three and 436 00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:06,480 one overall, you know, you're right there in the thick 437 00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:10,480 of things again after being off this week, but we 438 00:24:10,519 --> 00:24:13,440 had to throw a little love at the Texas State 439 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,519 Bobcats for sure. As they're continuing there. I don't know 440 00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:21,200 they're successful season so far. I know it's early. It's 441 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,920 early for all of these schools. But we talked about 442 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,480 some of the Oh I forgot to do this. We 443 00:24:28,599 --> 00:24:33,920 talked about some of the programs that were off. Of course, 444 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:41,440 the Longhorns, the Aggies. As again, we depend on technology 445 00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:46,319 to show us things, but we had the Longhorns. 446 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,839 Speaker 2: The Aggies. Of course, Texas tech is off. 447 00:24:47,839 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: We talked about their upcoming opponent, SMU, the Oklahoma Sooners, 448 00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:55,839 the Roadrunners, and the Bobcats. We will talk a little 449 00:24:55,839 --> 00:25:02,319 bit here about week six and and the Texas Longhorns 450 00:25:02,319 --> 00:25:05,839 coming up. Look, everybody's proclaiming that we look. I really 451 00:25:05,839 --> 00:25:09,000 hope you listened to last week's episode. I hope I 452 00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:11,920 wasn't too harsh on the Longhorns. I hope I wasn't 453 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,119 too harsh on art. Look, I'm a Manning family fan. 454 00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:19,839 I grew up a Saints fan. Ar Archie was my 455 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,920 favorite quarterback growing up, and of course, so I followed 456 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,559 to the Great Peyton. Even when he went to Tennessee. 457 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,400 We were all disappointed. But then Eli brings us back 458 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,480 in as he goes to you know, the the rebels 459 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,720 like his dad. 460 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 2: So I'm a Manning follower. I'm a Manning fan for sure. 461 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:46,519 Speaker 1: But when we proclaim arts to me and I'm using 462 00:25:46,519 --> 00:25:49,279 finger quotes for those of you not watching the video back, 463 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,440 can we just slow it down a little bit? 464 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:52,839 Speaker 2: All right? 465 00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: Fifty five to nothing against Sam Houston State. He scored 466 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,319 on that first rushing play, and then he sort of 467 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,079 taunted and flexed over that poor player laying on the 468 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,480 turf underneath him, which, by the way, should have been 469 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,519 a penalty. You're not allowed to do that. I don't 470 00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:13,799 know why they didn't call a penalty, but whatever, it's fine. 471 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,039 Didn't have any bearing on the game. Arch knows he 472 00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:19,519 shouldn't have done that. According to him, his mom got 473 00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:21,920 onto it, onto him for it, and good for her 474 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:22,519 as well. 475 00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:23,039 Speaker 2: She should. 476 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: But there's much more difficult tests coming up for Arch 477 00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:30,720 and the Longhorns than Sam Houston State. 478 00:26:32,839 --> 00:26:35,759 Speaker 2: So for instance, Saturday. 479 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: Back in SEC play, now there might not be a 480 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,880 more difficult test than you had in week one, and 481 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,519 we see how that turned out for Arch and for 482 00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:49,400 the Horns. But you've got Florida on the road at 483 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,880 the swamp now. I know Florida has been up and 484 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,640 down this season. This is still Florida. They should not 485 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,039 be taken lightly. They hung with Miami on the road, 486 00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:04,440 and then you've got Texas OU weekend down at Fair 487 00:27:04,519 --> 00:27:10,079 Park at the Cotton Bowl. Number five OU coming in 488 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,559 and OU is rolling right now. So look, things are 489 00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:19,680 gonna get much more difficult for the Longhorns and for Arts. 490 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,039 So this proclamation that baby he's back, whoa arch? Yeah 491 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,400 this is who we thought we'd see. Okay, it was 492 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,119 Sam Houston freaking state. All right, can we just tap 493 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,920 the brakes a little bit again. I'm pulling for Arts. 494 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,880 I hate the long Horns, but I'm pulling for Arts 495 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,960 because he's a manny. But no, he's not back number one. 496 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,119 He can't be back because he wasn't ever really here. 497 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,440 He has not had a great season. He is still 498 00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:50,279 learning on the fly. So even if he does have 499 00:27:50,319 --> 00:27:54,720 a great game against Florida, we can't say he's back. 500 00:27:54,759 --> 00:27:57,279 We can say he's arrived. Finally, here's the Arts we 501 00:27:57,319 --> 00:27:59,759 all knowing love that we knew was in there somewhere. 502 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:06,240 But yeah, let's just not man, I don't, I don't know, 503 00:28:06,319 --> 00:28:08,759 I don't. You can't just say he's back. But let's 504 00:28:08,759 --> 00:28:13,279 give him just a few minutes, all right, to do something, 505 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:19,200 to do something for everybody. As we continue to peruse 506 00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:23,799 the college football schedule, I'll get into a little bit 507 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,400 of I guess Aggie's talk, as they are the sort 508 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,400 of the talk of the town in central Texas more 509 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,519 so than their their little brother in Austin, gig them. Yeah, 510 00:28:33,559 --> 00:28:37,599 I'll go ahead phrase it that way. I don't even 511 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,079 want to do that, like we're not even related. They're 512 00:28:40,119 --> 00:28:42,880 just another school down down the highway there, ninety miles 513 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,240 or so away. But the Aggies, of course have Mississippi 514 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,000 State coming up on Saturday. That is an SEC Network 515 00:28:50,079 --> 00:28:55,680 game six thirty pm Central Time, not you know, every game. 516 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,240 I don't want to say that it's not a test 517 00:28:57,359 --> 00:29:01,759 for the Aggies at four and oh, especially after what 518 00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:03,880 you did to Notre Dame, what you did to Auburn. 519 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,759 And I know the Auburn was a sixteen to ten game, 520 00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:12,920 I get it, But the Aggies did something at Auburn 521 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,960 that impressed me, kind of like they did at Notre 522 00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:17,599 Dame that impressed me, and. 523 00:29:17,599 --> 00:29:23,519 Speaker 2: That is they were able to finish. 524 00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: All right, how many times have we seen the Aggies, 525 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,319 you know, whether it's against the top five opponent at 526 00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:31,240 home or on the road like Notre Dame, be in 527 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,640 a position to win that game and then blow it 528 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:34,160 at the end. 529 00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: That's kind of what we're used to. 530 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: Same thing with Auburn, an unranked opponent, but it's an 531 00:29:39,759 --> 00:29:41,519 SEC game on the road. 532 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 2: And or at home. 533 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry against Auburn, and you had a chance against 534 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,480 an SEC foe to be there and win it at 535 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:53,839 the end. 536 00:29:54,519 --> 00:29:55,599 Speaker 2: But normally. 537 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: We're used to watching the Aggie somehow just blow it 538 00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:03,119 right and lose that game towards the end. They're not 539 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,359 doing that this season. And I don't know if this 540 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,079 is the Mike Elko effect. You know, when he came 541 00:30:08,119 --> 00:30:11,319 into College Station, what did he say? He wants to 542 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:17,680 change the culture of the program without throwing his former boss, 543 00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:22,559 jimbo Fisher under the bus, but you know, Elko said 544 00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:25,759 that the culture around the program was bad, and there 545 00:30:25,759 --> 00:30:27,680 are a lot of players that agreed with him. Even 546 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,240 the players that transferred out mentioned how bad the culture 547 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,160 was in College Station with the Aggies as a program. Well, 548 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,000 Mike Elcho has apparently come in and made some sweeping changes. 549 00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:42,880 I don't just mean the roster, but these these guys 550 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,880 all believe they can win now, and they should. This 551 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,920 is a really good Aggie team and we'll see where 552 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,079 it goes. But uh, you know, with the win over 553 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,839 Notre Dame and now I'm telling you that win over Auburn, 554 00:30:57,319 --> 00:31:00,519 I know they're unranked. That impressed me all as much 555 00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:03,640 as the win over Notre Dame, just because of what 556 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,200 I just said that we know, you know, they were 557 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,200 not used to them winning those games. I don't care 558 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,279 if they're on the road or at home, it doesn't matter. 559 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,000 So Mississippi State coming up for the Ags, and then 560 00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:21,680 you've got Florida in college station mode those games at home, 561 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,240 by the way, Then you hit the road to Arkansas. 562 00:31:24,279 --> 00:31:27,039 They no longer played the Southwest Classic at eighteen and 563 00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:29,200 T Stadium like they did I believe for five years. 564 00:31:29,759 --> 00:31:31,680 Last year was the last year of the deal for that. 565 00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:35,720 So now they're going back to campus games. Excuse me. 566 00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:40,680 Then you've got LSU. It's at Arkansas, at LSU at Missouri, 567 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,240 a big three game road trip for the Aggies before 568 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:50,160 you wrap things up against South Carolina at home. And 569 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,359 then you've got, of course, the Longhorns after Thanksgiving on 570 00:31:54,400 --> 00:32:00,599 November twenty eighth, So look, this Aggie season is impressive, 571 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:01,319 but it's still. 572 00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:02,039 Speaker 2: Very very early. 573 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,799 Speaker 1: I've seen signs of maybe great things for a great season, 574 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,400 and that's really all you can ask for, because again 575 00:32:09,559 --> 00:32:14,119 we've been disappointed so many times. But man, maybe maybe 576 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,440 Elko's got this thing going. Marcel Reid, if we can 577 00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:20,720 keep everybody healthy, please, can we just not let injuries 578 00:32:20,759 --> 00:32:25,079 be a factor here? You know, for anybody, you don't 579 00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:27,480 want injuries on any program. The NFL is dealing with 580 00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:32,519 multitudes of injuries everywhere, and it's affecting the style of play. 581 00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:35,880 It's affecting the quality of play. You know, you poor 582 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,759 the poor Bengals lost Burrow and their season appears done. 583 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:44,079 You just paid your receivers and you paid Hendrickson for 584 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,839 this year. Uh. You don't like to see that in 585 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,160 it at any level and definitely not in college. Let's 586 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,799 just keep everybody healthy so that you get the best 587 00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:56,119 brand of football and the best matchups from week to week. 588 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,039 So you guys, let me know what your favorite part 589 00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:01,599 of last week was, what you're most anticipating coming up 590 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,160 in week six?
