Speaker 3: At one minute into the show, the first of many
route statements coming up from the one and.
Speaker 2: Old jokes sports army. I'm taking a personal I'm not judging.
I'm just saying, lay a tarp down, I see Okay.
The running a program that it will feature well usually
Brian eleven o'clock. Ryan Boge's gone, he's gone. We need
to ask him one more time about the hitting coaches.
I'm you know what I'm putting.
Speaker 3: I'm putting a moratorium, and you cannot discuss hitting co
good because I don't want to anger your our audience.
I don't want to they hate me, yeah, I mean
there's a lot of reasons to hate you, but you've
added another layer to the hitting coach to fence. So
we got shut you buy mess up. At eleven thirty,
I'm going after a group of people today. Oh and
I have tried to understand their why they do it.
This is so vague, but it's the more thing. There's
just a group of people that I'm going after today
that I just it's something sports related. It's just something
that I'm having to fight with as I drive these streets,
actually park these streets of Houston. So it's gonna give
you a little on that. So that's eleven thirty. Eddie
Nounyez athletic director of University Houston's gonna be with us
at twelve thirty today.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, getting ready for the Titanic matchup between Texas
Tech and Houston six o'clock on the Entertainment, Sports and
Programming Network and our sister station nine fifty k PRC.
It's ESPN.
Speaker 3: Yeah, on a Saturday, six o'clock, baby, let's go wow
by a light leg must be a light week.
Speaker 2: It's a wonderful week.
Speaker 3: You put the primetime game in there, the the or
the appetizers. Texas, Florida and the main courses Texas Tech Houston.
Speaker 2: Sure why not? Okay, we'll check the ratings.
Speaker 3: Uh well once on ABC ones in the ESPNS. So
ABC is gonna anykay. I'm just saying, okay, we'll we
check the ratings week to week, spitting the spitting the
facts out.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: By the way, the Red Raiders are now an eleven
and a half point favorite.
Speaker 2: Ooh, that means a.
Speaker 3: Lot of money's piling one of them Red Raiders. Maddie,
they're really good. I mean, Cody Campbell, shout out to you,
my friend. You are you are spend them on in
the right places. That's first time at Texas text out
of defense in thirty years.
Speaker 2: See, Matt, you said that the nil was going to
keep the haves and the haves and the haves not.
It's the Raiders have been to have not and now
they have. Yeah, by the way, I did.
Speaker 3: I've got some great friends within the Texas Tech Athletic Department,
and I did ask. I said, so, I'm just curious,
you know, because every school and I has twenty million
dollars that they can budget towards paying the athletes directly.
It's not an al this is a direct payment to
the players, and it's up to each individual school to
decide how they split the pie up of twenty million dollars.
They can give eighty percent of the football team, they
can give ten percent to baseball, they give ten percent
of basketball, then give ten percent to women, support me whatever,
it's whatever.
Speaker 2: And I said, I.
Speaker 3: Asked this person, I said, has the Cody Campbell resonated
to the women's side of things? And he goes, oh, no,
well I thought they. I thought that softball pitcher was
getting a million a year. But that's nil. That's not
direct payment. Okay, but the Cody Campbell doesn't anything to
do with it. That's that's actually you're right. I told
tw different stories. Cody Campbell does pay for that girl. Okay,
the lady, I should say, But the direct payments from
the school is not going to the not we would
say non rev sports.
Speaker 2: They call Olympic sports, but it's really non revenue, non revenue.
Speaker 3: So yeah, but yeah, so it's gonna be up to
NIL to take care of those sports that don't normally
get it. Call them the money pit sports, that's what
we call them. That's true, that's true.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 3: I mean, the twenty million dollars is that's the first
positive sign, because that's that's above board. NIL is getting
a little dicey is compared to being paid eight million
dollars by Joe's Hotdogs stand to do something. So you know,
the number one thing is the payments are legal.
Speaker 2: They're not. You can't.
Speaker 3: If you pay beyond that, you can get in trouble.
And there is a clearinghouse for that kind of stuff.
So but well, I don't want to talk a whole
lot about that because we're in the world of competition,
and the competition involving baseball team's rossing is nothing Houston related.
I did watch a little bit here and there yesterday
and I had it on. Saw the Yankees choke with
the bases loaded, freed one hundred and two pitches. I
feel good. Aaron Boons like, no, you're done. Bullpen came
in and gave it up. Yeah, the Yankees bullpen. Two
of the best teams in baseball are the Dodgers and
the Yankees, and they both have bad bullpens. Eric Kroschet, Meanwhile,
one hundred and seventeen pitches, I'll go throw one hundred
and fifty. Yeah, he threw one hundred on his last pitch,
and then rold As Chapman, who had been nails all year, bases.
Speaker 2: Loaded, got out of the jam, got it done.
Speaker 3: Playoff baseball, folks, I'm rooting against the Yankees, but I
don't want to root for the Red Sox. You know what,
you know, I don't know. I've done this with the
local football team. You don't have to root, Okay, it's easier. Yeah,
but when you're watching, you kind of feel like you
pull for an outcome naturally. I do you know what
I do in that situation. I pull pull for drama,
dramatic home runs or a big strikeout or maybe something controversial,
something like that. Okay, Like, for instance, on Saturdays, do
you ever put on an SEC game between I don't know,
LSU and All Miss and you don't have a dog
in a fight. You're like just give me something crazy. Yeah,
you get a live taste in the over always a
betting perspective. Okay, I mean that's that's fair.
Speaker 2: Just kidding, am I?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So if you were a betting man right now,
would you take Texas Tech minus eleven and a half
or I'll take the Cougar's plus the points even there
will be a home crowd for the Red Raiders. You
don't know that, I'm just kidding. I mean I think
I'm kidding. Well, you know, look, my philosophy on this
is not what the Cougar Nation typically agrees with. But
I'm a realist because I've been around University of Houston
all my life. I mean basically, it's a fan as
a kid and then going to school there. I want
the building full. I would rather be full of Cougar fans.
But we just don't draw like we're supposed to. So
if text Tech wants to put ten thousand people in
the building, so be it. Okay, it'll make it a
It'll make it a a more boisterous crowd, because I
mean Texas Tech people like to drink and throw tortillas
and then you know, yeah, if they'll they'll be more
fist fighting. If you get more red raiders in there,
oh yeah, more raid or rash my overall ruckousness. Yeah, now,
my son will not be involved in that such thing.
Speaker 2: You don't know that.
Speaker 3: You weren't in levet watching a party, that's true. You
don't know how he's getting down over there. The only
video he ever sent me when he was a Texas
tech was he got a hole in one there at
the golf course. Oh wow, Yeah, that's wonderful something I
was never able to look too. Now right, I think
he's got it. He might have two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we got video both of these.
Speaker 3: We have video of one for sure. The one maybe
just say dah, you wouldn't believe this, and I don't
believe you. I still believe that if you and it's
a weird rule that if you get a hole one
you have to go to the bar and buy everybody drinks?
Yeah what if you just don't tell anybody? That's what
I would do. I tried to This is ross before
you and I we work together. I try to get
a national reference and to reverse the rule. Like you
walk and say hey I just got a hole of one.
Everybody's like, yeah, get over here, we're buying you around.
That's what it should be. You're the one that can,
You're the one did the I thought like accomplishment. He
probably got some broken drunk waiting around for holding ones.
Speaker 2: That's right. What are you here for?
Speaker 3: I think a glass of water place, and when three
or four guys come in, I'll take a bourbon in water. Well,
I'll take care of sports for the day. Brian Snickert
not out now? Is Brave manager Ron Washington out in Anaheim? Well,
it's gonna say, will Troy joined him? Are they gonna
be vacationing together? Oh, that'd be kind of rough. But
Brian's got money manager World champions. I'm I'm sure Troy's
doing okay. I've been a hitting coach in twenty nineteen.
Probably doesn't pay peanuts. Yeah, it's funny. I don't have
a real great grasp of what coaches make in any sport.
I have no idea because they don't have to report
it and against a salary cap, you don't have play,
you don't have agents bragging about it.
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 2: It kind of weird? It can leak out, especially if
fel it feels like but yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Know what the only thing that we ever find out
about when it comes to coaches salaries.
Speaker 2: Can you can you guess what I'm thinking?
Speaker 4: It is?
Speaker 2: U buyouts?
Speaker 3: Well bias, I'm saying I have a pretty good feel
how much college coaches make. Well, yes, because a lot
of times it's public record, because Freedom of Information Act,
because of public a public institution, we need that freedom
ross less. So for private institutions like USC somebody there
was like a lawsuit and something else happened, and that's
how they found out what.
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley was making. But normally they don't have to
make it public. That is not money. Well, that's really
the only I don't know how.
Speaker 3: Many private schools are really big football factories.
Speaker 2: Not a Mini Miami Notre Dame.
Speaker 3: Notre Dame Miami would be one to see. But for
the most part, in the powerhouses, we don't know what
Dave Randam makes it. Batter, we don't know what Sunny
Dykes makes a TCU. Sunny Dykes a TCU, right?
Speaker 6: Sure?
Speaker 2: Why not? Is he still there?
Speaker 3: We didn't he go from s No, he he went
from TCU too, or he went for one of the
dikes a TCU right, I should know that it's fine.
So all right, what else going on? You tell me? Baseball?
Playoff baseball? No ash sucked. Alex Bregnan was two for
four with an RBI.
Speaker 2: Yeh. By the way, he was a minus two twenty
to get a hit yesterday. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So again, for those who don't know, if you were
to go make an individual prop out of a player
minus two twenty minut you had to give the casino
two hundred and twenty dollars in order for you to
make a hundred back.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Minus means you're giving. Plus means you're getting. Yeah. And
if you if you put the two twenty up, you
got you one hundred dollars out of it. And Shoyo
Tani hit two bombs. It's insane. It's hard for me
to separate the player from the team. It just it's
because if you're rooting for Shoho Tani, you're into Facti're
rooting for the Los Angeles Dodgers. I can I tell
you the way that I see it, please. I think
makes it a little easier too when we come back.
Would you like to tell us it's not that dramatic?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: The Dodgers playing different game, The Dodgers they're giving out.
They got like five hundred million dollars worth of salary.
To me, it's like I'm rooting for a team in
a different planet when you root for the Dodgers. The
way that they spend money and the way that they
have recruit talent and Shohotani, I'm like, and they already
won the World Series last year, so who cares if
they win another one. We all lived when they won
last year and when they won in twenty twenty. I
don't want to root for the Dodgers either. Yeah, but
it's not like Joe Kelly is there. It's not like
a lot of the same Dodgers were there. But Clayton
Kershaw is basically retired now at this point, and Shoeotani
is incredible, So it is easier for me, I think,
to separate the Dodgers from everyone else. We'll play with
the Yankees, of course, and with the money they spend,
but it's almost like they're playing a different sport. But
it's almost to me, it's it's I don't I'm not
rooting for any of them. I was able to sleep
the night the Yankees lost. I mean, the the Dodgers
won the World series. I'm not a fan of the
LA's in New York's winning because it feels like they
get to celebrate championships bet every other year. But more Mike,
I'm more hyper focused on what the Astros are going
to do to get back to the situation where we
were busy in October, because this is honestly, this is
just Druth be told this isn't fun, And I mentioned
this on the Twitter to day. I just this to
put these games on and not have sort of penny
passing interest. I mean, it was kind of nice for
us personally. We'd go to the ballpark, we do our
shows out in left field. People come by and say hello,
ask for autographs. Oh that's gone now Ross nobody's asking
for an autograph anymore. I know, how do you feel, Matt?
Speaker 2: Not great?
Speaker 3: I just told you those are always the greatest days
of the year. As far as a meeting and greeting fans. Yeah,
because you know, and Boyd Detroit won. Nothing does that?
Does aj hinches success in that series have anything to
do with the future of the Astros. Possibly possibly, well,
it's possibly could also be there could also be Jim
Crane's office going do you all hear those Jabroni's on
seven and if they think that A. J.
Speaker 2: Hinch is coming back.
Speaker 3: Also yesterday they could have said Joe Joe A. Spot
is our manager next year, and they didn't say it
that way. Danny Brown, he's under contract, like when you
just say he's under So would they They could have
quashed this, yes, a lot better than they could have
come out and unequivocally said Joe Spot is our manager
next year.
Speaker 2: They didn't. The opportunity was there. Yeah, it gives me pause.
So if that's the case, and then why would you
put the guys out there to to force and to
answer that kind of question.
Speaker 3: Maybe, like you said, you're waiting on a result. Here
ten fourteen, it's the Matt Thomas Show. Sports Talk seven
ninety seven one three two one two five seven nine
zero seven one three two one two five seven ninety
Shut your bowmass up at eleven thirty. Today, the news
at noon ed Innunia is twelve thirty. Believe it or not,
Today at one fifty, and we will figure out the rest.
Intense Texans Ravens previews starts today. Sports Talk seven ninety
ten twenty on Sports Talk seven Ainty they're trying to
interview Jazz Chisham after the game yesterday.
Speaker 2: He will not even turn around and talk to those cameras. Ooh,
he's grumpy.
Speaker 6: Not happen.
Speaker 3: I can't when I listen to the audio because obviously
we're on the air right now. But he is being
asked multiple questions. He's just combing through all his jerseys
in his locker. Well, he turn around for a second. Now,
what is your take on that? Could you could say
this is my take?
Speaker 2: Go ahead. If they would have won the game and
he would hit the game winning home run.
Speaker 3: Would he be talking? Here's my simple take. Be a
grown ask man. You're a major league player that has
medium responsibilities. Turn around and answer a few questions and
got out of the way. You cause it way more
of a scene by you turning, by you staring at
your locker and not answering the questions, and you ever
would have if you would have just given a few answers.
I know you're pissed. I know there's a cooling off
period of ten minutes that feels like it should be
twenty five or thirty. But that's not how we deal
in sports. Turn around, answer the question questions. Yeah, I
would say again, like if you hit the game winning
home run, you're ready to talk to everybody, Then you
have to be ready to when you don't come through,
when the bases are loaded in the ninth inning.
Speaker 2: You got to be ready to do both. Yeah, if
you say you have anxiety and you're never out there,
I get it. By the way, like Zach Grienky didn't
like cameras, didn't like win or lose, just very consistent
and respect the hell out of it.
Speaker 3: Absolutely made sense. He didn't like talking to people no
matter what, and that was okay. And I don't know,
just Jazz just do that a lot. I don't exactly.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't work for the y S network.
Speaker 3: But clearly if the YES Network, which is owned by
the Yankees, is putting that out there, then they're probably
saying this is this is something out of the ordinary
for him to do these things.
Speaker 2: It would be a real shame if the Yankees were
out in two games.
Speaker 3: If you fire Aaron Boone if he loses the series,
I guess they would. But did Aaron Boone caught Did
he have a big hand in them losing again? He
went to the bullpen, but they had basis load. Garrett
Crochet was spectacular, and they had bases loaded with nobody out.
Wellet Crochet went one hundred and seventeen. That's abnormal in
terms of number of pitches. Pulling a pitcher after one
hundred and two hoping that you win this game, win
the series, and you can use him fairly early in
the series against your divisional opponent. I mean, it's not
the craziest thing in the world, I'll be honest with you. Yeah,
it's just the problem is the bullpen for the Yankees
has been a hot mess this entire season, and the
Yankees are a much better team hitting on the road
than they are at home. Yeah, it would take answers
to questions I don't have. Was Fried's v low down?
Was his spin not as good? Did he look not
as sharp? Was he going another time through the lineup
and they didn't want to go? Maybe it was a
I don't know, three and a half or fourth time
through the lineup? Right Did they feel like they he's
he's a lefty? Did they have a pocket of righty's
that he wanted they wanted to get a righty in there?
I don't I don't know the answer all of those questions.
So I wasn't watching the game, but I think what
it does is, unfortunately, when when Freed is performing as
well as he is and the guy on the other
side of the dugouts doing the same sort of thing,
and they said we're gonna give him an extra inning
to get to that number, it just makes well, first
of all, it's a big, bigger problem. It's the Yankees
don't win the big games.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they brought it.
Speaker 3: They won the American League penet last year. So I mean,
this is not like it's like he's this miserable failure
of a manager.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they.
Speaker 3: Brought in the righty, Luke Weaver. He's got a three
sixty two Era one, a whip of one.
Speaker 2: To face who. I don't know, I can bring it up.
Speaker 3: By the way, the I'm looking at MLB Network, the
Yankees have lost to the Red Sox nine of the last.
Speaker 2: Ten times in postseason games. That doesn't help either. That's
pretty funny. I mean to put this way, the Yankees
can't beat the Red Sox and they can't beat the Astros.
Speaker 3: Everybody else very little issue. Poor guy couldn't happened to
a nicer fan base. But every time Aaron Boone is
like is he gonna return, he winds up getting a
one or two year extension to his contract.
Speaker 2: It was for the eight and nine hitters, Rajayella who
is alrighty?
Speaker 3: And uh Snick Soguard who's a switch hit And how
do those guys do over the course of the night.
Speaker 2: Uh those guys? Oh for three?
Speaker 3: Well, Raphaela walked and Soguard had a couple of hits.
But that was the eight and nine hitter that uh
boone brought in. Luke Weaver, I would say, you.
Speaker 2: Got hey, Luke Weaver's gotta get the outs no matter what,
and he didn't do it. Yeah, bo where's all of
our Yankee fans? Yankees?
Speaker 3: Keith Hatting called in, where's our man garden Oaks? He
should be calling in, Yeah, James, James garden Oakes. You
should be upset because your team, if they lose tonight,
it's done, finito finished.
Speaker 2: You're not going to the playoffs. You're not staying in
the playoffs. I should say the season is on the line.
I like that.
Speaker 3: I like the wild cards, keeping everybody invested, But man
being out in two games, that's rough.
Speaker 2: Signed Astros fans last year.
Speaker 3: Well, the reality is, if you're you're squeezing in an
ext round a PLAYFF, you don't have a whole lot
of time. I know, a fighting weather is Yeah, and
they're never going to go to one fifty four, I
don't think.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 3: The only way that you can add a little juice
to these wild cards is if you go to one
fifty four, because if you start the season any earlier,
you are going to run into problems.
Speaker 2: In six of the country the other way on the
road for five series.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good luck playing cleaning playing a game in Cleveland
until like April twenty third. Yeah, maybe we'll come to
a spot in our world where every citium is domed.
Speaker 2: Doubt it. Well maybe like fifty years.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, because I don't think Fenway is ever
going to go. I mean there are a handful of
cities that are never going to go Dome. I mean
the Yankees, and well it's most of them. Domes costs
a lot of money. It's really only the stadiums that
have really severe weather, probably in the South, are the
ones that.
Speaker 2: Are covering up their stadiums these days.
Speaker 3: So all right, Ted twenty seven here on Sports Talk
seven ninety We are a uh pope ari a conversation
points today we're going to entertainer hell out of it
and goes Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of like, what do you want? What
do you want to get into Tuesday? How about that?
Speaker 3: Okay, you found a very interesting list about college football quarterback. Yes,
I did. I don't know how interesting it is now. First,
it's a terrible list.
Speaker 2: Now who put it out?
Speaker 3: By the way, there would be some dude from ESPN,
Bill somebody Connolly or something. I want to go Conley,
we call him Will Mike Lowry is her reputable Bill Connolly. Okay,
don't don't know. The name doesn't mean he doesn't mean
he's not repetable.
Speaker 2: That's familiar with him. But whatever.
Speaker 3: Well, he ranked the top sixty at every quarterback starting
quarterback in the Power four, which well be sixty four
different schools. Correct, yes, A sixty eight sixty eight. I
wonder how my guy friend of the show, Connor Wegman
is on that list.
Speaker 2: We can find out.
Speaker 3: And how your friend in Case and East Besty Archie
Manning is on that list.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: And Texas A and M quarterback By the way, they
could have scored a lot more points this past weekend,
but they've had a good season.
Speaker 2: I mean that Notre Dame victory was very, very impressive.
Speaker 3: Seven one three two one two five seven ninetie seven
one three two one two five seven NINTI. It is
a Matt Thomas Show with Ross coming up in one
hour from now.
Speaker 2: We're gonna tell some people to shut their bow matches
up here on seven.
Speaker 3: Ninety ten thirty two Sports Talk seven ninety It is
a Matt Thomas Show with Ross. Seven one three two
one two five seven nine zero seven one three two
one two five seven ninety. So this ESPN poll is
out of the sixty eight quarterbacks that play for a
power for school and would why don't we first not
give us the top five and then we'll go to
some schools in our five. I want the top five first, okay,
and then give us some schools that we would be
fairly interested in. Number one USC's Jayden Maiava okay, fifteen
total touchdowns on the season. Number two Diego Pavia Vanderbilt QB.
By the way, game day is going to Vanderbilt Alabama.
I don't know if they ever would have anticipated Vanderbilt
ever being on a game day. Well, one of the
reasons Vanderbilt has been revant relevant the last couple of
years has been Diego Pavio yep.
Speaker 2: Trinidad. Chamberliss of Ole Miss is number three, okay. Fernando
Mendoza Indiana. It's funny.
Speaker 3: I thought Indiana was gonna get their come up and
they played a I mean a wispy weak non conference
schedule and they've just blown by people in the Big Ten. Yeah,
good for them, Wishing them the best. Dante More of
Oregon is number five, okay, and I mean, yeah, there
you go. That's a tough five.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: So let's go to Marcel Reid, Texas A and M quarterback. Okay,
Well we'll quick because some notable names. Julian Sant Ohio
State's eleventh and John Mattier, the Oklahoma quarterback, is hurt twelve. Yeah, okay,
you said who Marcel Reid. Marcel Reid is number twenty
six on this list. Okay, Now, I know these are
too high or too low. Just yeah, he's done a
lot more research than I remember would on this. Number
twenty eight is Beren Morton, Texas Tech. He's gonna get
sacked four times this week. But number twenty nine, by
the way, Haines King, Georgia Tech, former A and M quarterback.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been funny all these guys.
Speaker 3: Basically everyone on this list has transferred from somewhere.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's very funny to me.
Speaker 3: And you know, I watched Kevin Ashenfelder prepare for the
Cougar broadcast. I haven't did a volleyball match this past
weekend for ESPN Plus, and I was writing down the
former schools. Usually when you were when you were prepping
for a game, you go height, weight classification, where he
went to high school, where he grew up. Now you
skip where he grew up, you go to the last
school he played at. Ye Because there's so I mean,
the amount of transferring is even before nil and this
guaranteed salary, it was still moving because once you got
rid of the rule where you didn't have to sit
out a year, guys are moving left and right.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's it is one thing. It's it's not where.
Speaker 3: Like, for instance, it's the sucky quarterback for Oregon State
the other day Murphy longhorned legend Malik Murphy.
Speaker 2: So before I fall asleep. The sucky quarterback. You didn't
have to add that in Matt, just the quarterback for
Oregon State.
Speaker 3: Okay, the ridiculously poor quarterback, so even decent at Duke.
So here's the thing. So he starts at Texas. Yes,
he knows that Art is coming. He's like, I'm getting
the hell out of here. Yes, he goes to Duke,
and I think he's got a pretty good does a
pretty good job there.
Speaker 2: He started off hot and then I think cooled significant.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I watched the game and this is before
I went to sleep because it was all super late
night start. Do you know that Oregon State is paying
him one point five million dollars to be sucky? That's
great for him, Oh, it's great for him, dude. He
had twenty six touchdowns, twelve picks, almost three thousand yards.
Speaker 2: Not bad.
Speaker 3: But he went up to Oregon State took that cash,
and honestly, it's probably smart and hiss park because he
ain't going to the NFL.
Speaker 2: There's no chance, no way, no.
Speaker 3: How So, if you remember the Murphy family, tell you
tell your young man to please put that in a
state of account and invest wisely, because that's about the
most money ever going to get high yield savings. As
your friend Malik he was, I don't know what you
saw thinking he's terrible, just terrible. He's regressing. Well, I
didn't think he was great to begin with, but he's
got well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people were people with longhorned people when he was
started off hot. For dude, They're like, what you look
when we let him go? I can't believe it.
Speaker 3: Wisely done texts because Quinn youewrs was struggling and Malik
Murphy was playing well.
Speaker 2: But anyways, all right.
Speaker 3: So let's go to our new All American quarterback, Connor
Wegman at the University of Houston. You want to get
how about I guess I'll give you a Marcel Reid
is where now, Marcel Reid is twenty sixth I want
to do the range game, give me Wegman is behind
everyone I've listed, and I've gone to twenty eighth and
there's sixty eight. Okay, so I want two either direction
to win the game. Sure, why not forty nine? Oh
what forty six?
Speaker 2: Oh? Well, that's bad on my part.
Speaker 3: Then regarded as the top pocket passer in the twenty
two recruiting class, Wegman has come to rely on his mobility.
He has run for thirteen first downs and four touchdowns.
He's also taken hits on forty four percent of his dropbacks.
That's that is one hundred and twentieth nationally. He's gonna
have to run for his life because sex de tech defense. Legit,
we're gonna have to. If we bring that same offensive
game plan to TDCU on Saturday, we're going to lose badly. Unfortunately,
we stay scuffled Oregon State just get or look, Cougars
were able to win it by playing some great football
in the fourth quarter, but that those first three quarters
were as difficult to watch as you could possibly watch.
And we have not yet mentioned the biggest name on
this list, all right, Archibald Manning.
Speaker 2: Forty first.
Speaker 3: Well, he averages three point one seconds to throw, seventh
most in the country. He's one hundredth in interception rate,
ninety six in the completion rate. Texans defense will buy
him development at time, which is true, and things could
click at money any moment, but.
Speaker 2: They have not yet.
Speaker 3: First of all, it's all fair, that all feels fair.
My guess is the guy that did his due diligence
and really size it up. He's not trying. I'm sure
this guy doesn't have a super bias. In fact, probably.
Speaker 2: If you're gonna be anything with arch kidding, Oh, he's
probably gonna take a star and move him a little
higher than he probably should be.
Speaker 7: Maybe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, nine touchdowns, three picks, a lot of rushing touchdowns, yes,
five rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 2: He's look he to me, he's just.
Speaker 3: Looked average, and so he helped me out. Was supposed
to be the greatest of all times, so help me
out with us. Everything going into it was he was
the most sought after high school quarterback in the country. Yes,
he goes to a school that has had its fair
share very successful quarterbacks, not necessarily the greatest professional quarterbacks.
But collegiently, you've had a nice run, right, It's fine.
I mean you get guys in the league every year. Yeah, sure, Quinn,
you were seventh round pick, Sam Elinger, sixth round pill.
I forget McCoy.
Speaker 2: McCoy did he even get drafted, but he.
Speaker 3: Ran he was around you know what I'm saying, though,
But I mean, I Young made multiple a factory. But
you're certainly not a place where like you're not a
football factory. Man, it's one of the heritage brands in
college football. Like air Force has not developed quarterbacks, Texas
has had its fair share quarterbacks share? Why not, Sarkesian has?
I believe under the tutelage of I want to say,
didn't didn't start coach, and well.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's not the best is the best example anymore?
But quarterback? Was he there too?
Speaker 3: I don't remember? But so he's a highly regarded quarterback. Yes,
he is sought after, you know. He he goes to
a school that produces quarterbacks, and he's got a coach
who's an offensive minded coach. Yes, Why aren't the puzzle
pieces fitting here?
Speaker 2: Maybe he's just not that good. He's just hitting his ceiling.
Speaker 3: I keep going turning to the guys hit They're ceiling
everywhere somewhere. The number two quarterback in that class was
Nico Yama Lava. He's fifty eighth on this list. He's
at UCLA right now. Yes, okay, and he's horrible. He's
fifty eighth out of sixty eight on this list. And
that's why, and I think we don't we don't spend
really any time talking about high school recruiting because it's
it's first of all, very subjective. Secondly, you have people,
you have services that don't really does sometimes want to
gain an advantage by propping up a player that is
better than or not as good as a ranking would.
I will say this, we can go through dozens of
five stars who didn't work out. But data has shown
if you collect the most, you get the most chips
in the game. Basically you're collecting the most ping pong
balls if you get If if you recruit ten three
stars and I recruit ten five stars, I'm very year
after year, I'm going to be better. Yes, just by
the math and all those five stars, a lot of
them are going to work out, and a lot of
those three stars are But on average you accrue acquiring
as many five and four star players works. But you
can also win at a pretty competitive level if you
don't aren't littered with them. I mean, I'll use case
of points anytime you see a non power for school
win tu Lane with Willie was winning games. Didn't have
five stars, right, Houston, except for at Holliver, didn't have
five stars. Boise State has made a very successful program
of not having five compete. But generally you're not win
change now Chips Chips, but that really is down to
about five SEC schools. Yeah, so, I mean there's a
very high correlation between best recruiting classes and best results.
I'm gonna ask Georgia Alabama. I'm gonna ask you for
this question for the second time, and it may come
across as come on.
Speaker 2: Now, should we stay away from private school players?
Speaker 3: M No, I mean Odell Beckham junior went to that school.
Eli and Peyton Manning went to that school. Yes, the
question asn't answered, so it can happen.
Speaker 8: But to Matt's point thought, let's let's just put Houston
for example, all these five stars I went to the
school with multiple NFL players.
Speaker 2: Now you have these private school kids.
Speaker 8: They're only in that thaa F circuit in Texas, which
is the private league. You know, for private schools to
go against a dude from Fort being Christian is not
beating anybody or even recruit status even close to athletic prowess.
Then a dude to say from George Bush for George Bush,
and from a national point, you have to just from Florida, Alabama, George,
you name all the big states and you're gonna pick
from private school guys, and that's what Arch Mannings already
came out saying that he hasn't gone through adversity. That
should be the number one like red flag there.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll discuss more of this in a minute, because
my guess is I can you can probably get to
a list pretty quickly of private school quarterbacks that have
done just just fine. I'm sure we can find something.
Everybody in his nephews, did his uncles have done? Our
two class examples of that. Yeah, and everybody's their individual case.
Did he gets some extra hypercodies his last name? Absolutely? Absolutely,
But you can't do that. You can't be a success.
Speaker 3: You can't be the University of Texas and just grab
him because his last name is Manning. Because you're the
University of Texas Ross, if you are Arkansas State, you
can brag on that you're going to Manning there. But
you're you're you t you should be able to And
I'm not blaming you, Tim, just saying that ut can
pick who they want. If there's a five star that
plays at a major metropolitan urban school in Portland, Oregon,
and he's and he's better than Arch, love your Arch,
but I'm taking.
Speaker 2: The Portland kid there. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But also I would say maybe there there are some biases,
maybe because of his last name. When he throws in
an interception, you're more easy to forgive. Or when you're
watching tape and he makes five good plays and two
bad ones, yeah, and if you change his last name,
you'd be like, oh, I'm concerned about those bad plays.
But when his name's arch Manning, like, he's fine, he's
gonna iron that out because he's arch Manning, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I don't know. I wasn't breaking
down his high school tae. I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 3: I just I wonder how many in this power for
group are private school quarterbacks. Yes, we'll get Jonathan on that. Johnathan,
I want you to walk on there for the next
two hours. Private school in the Power for I mean
a dissertation will leed it by Friday or in the
next hour seven one three two one two five seven, Naty,
I mean one small example, don't we go back to
the phones and again there are five million examples of
I'm sure private school quarterbacks doing very well. I remember
when I first came back to Houston, there was a
kid named John o'corn.
Speaker 9: That.
Speaker 2: This is when Tony.
Speaker 3: Levine was the head coach of the University of Houston
and he was telling me one time. He says, there's
his kid that plays high school football in Fort Lauderdale.
That is unbelievable, And I mean, we got to do
everything we can to get him here.
Speaker 2: He was a private school kid Fort Lauderdoak, Florida. Came
to Houston.
Speaker 3: Uh, he had a lot of different schools all over
the country wanting him. Comes to Houston kind of falls
flat on his face. Not flat on his face is
too strong a term. Just doesn't perform very well, gets
beat out for the job, and transfers to Michigan, finishes
there is where he's a backup there and never never
played again, never never got drafted in the NFL. But
I mean, when a coach comes to you and says,
we've got to get this kid, he's something special. No,
I totally trust Tony Levine's town evaluation. You do, yeah,
and now he should you well yeah, I mean yeah,
I mean, now he's you know, he's evaluating chicken.
Speaker 2: You're not you know what he's doing. He's printing money.
It's true. One of those Chick fil a. I don't know.
I don't own a Chick fil A. I would not
be speaking to you right now. Why well, we open
up a restaurant, want too? Oh it's easy, Yeah, sure,
why not? It always works out this, Yeah, point it
would be. It would be things only you like on
the menu. Yeah. No, no biscuits and gravy. We'd have one,
no brisket, no Tomali's printan soup, lots of frint on soup.
Call it Maddie's.
Speaker 3: Maddie Yeah, Maddie's Bar and grill. You walk in, Hey,
welcome to Maddies. Me in the background, goes Maddaise. Yeah them,
thank you very much. And you're a live You're gonna
be our you'll be our night manager and every The
menu has different categories. Instead of like lunch and dinner,
it says it's fine, yes, mixer, text is special. Oh yeah,
and it's like stuff that's not from Texas.
Speaker 2: Stuff del Pepper's. Uh huh. Sampetizer instead of appetizer says
neither here nor there. I like this. Actually, yeah, we've
got legs. We can create. We can create a Maddie's
Barn Girl menu. We certainly could, but yeah, my point.
Speaker 3: Is that we can't let you hire the waitresses because
you will the place will get shut down immediately from
harassment lawsuits.
Speaker 2: To be called hoties is what they'd be calling.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's not even a Barti's bar and girl,
nobody's gonna look like Lauren schia Hotti from MA.
Speaker 2: I don't think that. I don't think she's uh, she's
one of one, Maddie. That's true. That is true. So
my point is, Eric, can we get back to the
football here. I mean, you try started it? I know,
actually I did. I don't know. Maybe maybe I just
had this private school bias.
Speaker 3: Maybe that that the competent I mean, first of all,
he's what Jonathan's saying. Competition level is.
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be as good you play Sci Fiar,
you play you know, north Shore. It's not playing going
against uh. You know that's but a lot of these
kids go to like camps and share it on and
do a lot of work year round on stuff too.
But you can't hit. You're not getting hit in those camps.
I mean, Arch was a the Manning Passing Academy.
Speaker 8: And you know, I just thought of a point too,
and basketball. Private school is a really good competition because
they compete with the other public schools if football, like in.
Speaker 2: Football does too, they can't. Some of them can't.
Speaker 3: Like straight Jesuit has been playing normal football for not
normal but you know, in public school ball for a
long time because sometimes those really powerhouse private schools are
tired of beating up on the taps two eight schools.
So I don't know, I just something to ponder seven
one three two one two five seven. I let's go
to Dave online one in spring on the Matt Thomas Show,
Ross at ten fifty four.
Speaker 2: Dave, Good morning, Thy good morning, guys.
Speaker 4: I kind of agree with you about the private school
thing and the I who comes to mind, and you
may be already talked about him, but it's almost deja
vous with Chris Simms. Remember Chris Sims coming out of
a New Jersey I think private school, and he was
like super highly you know, thought of, and he just
didn't do much at uta. In fact, he kind of
knocked a better quarterback, Apple White out of his job.
Speaker 3: Christ was actually really good compared to what Arch Manning
is especially.
Speaker 4: Well true, but it's early with Arch. But let me
say this you know, on Art you can talk about
him coming from a private school in New Orleans, but
it's the same private school that produced Eli and Peyton,
So I mean sort of takes the argument away, doesn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mentioned Odell Beckham Junior went to school
as well. But maybe those are general the Manning generation talents.
Well maybe Arch isn't. Maybe it's thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I mean, yeah, you can.
Speaker 3: You can use the Manning as two great examples. Yeah,
so you can go there and thrive and still be good.
And both of those guys were really good in college.
All Right, I'm gonna put I'm gonna put it Google.
They're just you know what, maybe they're just better than Arch.
I mean, maybe Arch just isn't.
Speaker 2: I mean, it happens, Yeah, Dana Tun does that even
in Georgia, the public and private school still play against
head that. Yeah, I mean that's not I havenorny for
that to happen. Uh.
Speaker 3: And I don't even know if Johnald Corten played in
a public school game, but I know he was at
a private school.
Speaker 2: So private high school. I'm letting Google a high schools.
This is great radio.
Speaker 3: I'll call you mister research. Well, you know, it's basically
google mt. Let's see what old AI has say about this. Okay, nothing,
forget it. I tried, Okay, thank you, but see I'm
not even I'm not even trying.
Speaker 2: I'm not even a supporter of UT.
Speaker 3: I just art looked the part, everything about him coming
out of school, all the Hiavy recruiting, and I still
think we should not bury his career.
Speaker 2: And I don't know anybod he is. I'm not, but
the ESPN putting out a question a poll putting him
in the forties was not necessarily what I think anybody
was expecting at this point in his college career. Yeah,
and he'll have a chance to improve on that when
he plays Florida and probably puts the final nail in
Billy Napier's career, at least is the head coach of Florida.
How are we feeling it's a must win game for
the Long Horns this weekend at Florida or it's not. Whatever.
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens in Texas those three games. If
they lose, prices of that OU game will go down.
Those tickets are for Fitty of Pop right now to
be in the top top row of the cotton Bowl.
Now do you know I'm speaking of ignorance in this?
Do you know what sections are UT sections in one
or oklaomba sections?
Speaker 2: Have you ever set an OU section? No? No, so
you you will not. Yeah, they're numbered. It's the same
numbers every year, so you will not.
Speaker 3: You if I gave you the choice to, if I
gave you an OU ticket at half the cost, you
would not sit in that section.
Speaker 2: I guess I could. It'd be fine.
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's no way in the world that people
that not people have stuck in that are each other
sat around? Yeah, I mean I've sat around O you
people before.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: People, Let's see, we beat them twenty six to ten
in two thousand and six.
Speaker 2: And we were we were screaming at him. Also, I
was a young rabble rouser in those days, and I
might have had a few too many. And now you've
calmed down.
Speaker 3: Uh, yes, I'm much more mellow than I was at
twenty one.
Speaker 2: Can you stick?
Speaker 3: Can you bring the Fletchers corny dogs into the stadium
with you? No, ooh party. They sell corn dogs, but
they're not Fletchers, and everybody tries to say they're corny dogs,
and everybody's like it's like when you go to New York,
everybody's the famous original Rays, but there's really only one
Fletcher's original corny dog.
Speaker 2: It's better. It's just the corn meals better. It's the
fried perfectly. I miss it. I'm just kidding sick thinking
about it. Why you don't like corn dogs? I love
corn dogs. I mean, what are you talking about? Because
I felt like, oh, you're just saying that because it's
Texas if you're being a hater.
Speaker 3: No, it just feels like I get a heavy stomach
when I eat one of those things. No, it's a
good bass layer. A corner dog in two to three
beers is a nice base layer for your day at
the game.
Speaker 2: It's perfect, So go down. It goes down your throat rather.
Speaker 4: Y uh huh.
Speaker 2: It's like when you're laying brick and mortar. You get
it's the corny dog is a nice like mortar, really,
and then you put some bricks on there. Maddie, you
know who knows exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 3: Call McNair. Remember he was brick and mortaring these things
a lot exactly. We're going brick by brick and you're
starting with corn. A corny dog is a foundation to
a great day at the state Fair. All right, So
you're going to corny dogs, yes, then beer, yes, and
what's the what's the what's the finishing touch?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 3: And then when the game's over, you go around and
you go to try every single deep fried food that
they have at the fair. Deep fried oreos, deep fried
pork chops, deep fried grilled cheese, deep fried what I'm
gonna take you to the Minnesota State Fair. That's the
only reason why we ever went well zeat all that fried.
Speaker 2: Uh. They probably have the list of the best food
that you want me to find the best foods this year?
Speaker 3: You know what we're gonna do. We're gonna tell you
right now today's edition of Believe It or Not. Oh
my gosh, is this as this food ever been a
State Fair of Texas food crab.
Speaker 2: I can't find every single food ever. It makes some
stuff up.
Speaker 3: Crab in my Sorella Arensini. That's what that won the
best food savory this year. Wag you bake bacon cheeseburger,
deviled egg sliders. I mean, see you go and find
there's a there's a state Fair list of all the
best foods and you go find all of them. That's
what you do, and their price reasonably No, not as
much as they used to be. Second hour of The
Matt Thomas Show starts after you need an energy boost,
after you know that food?
Speaker 1: You know what is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross?
Speaker 2: It is eleven four on Sports Talk seven. I mean,
Matten Ross with you. Game number two of the Detroit
Cleveland series starting in about fifty five minutes from now.
What Fright wins They're going to Division series? Cool? I know,
wishing you the best.
Speaker 3: Detroit Cleveland feels like a noon first pitch, right, Actually,
unfortunately people in other cities are like the Astros play.
Speaker 2: It feels like a noon first bitch. Hey, it's truth
they've been I mean the profiles raised a bit for
sure from where it was.
Speaker 3: All right, So we are moving on to basketball. Rockets
are practicing right now as we speak at a training facility.
All right, I saw post it all over social media.
Reed Shepherd getting a tough bucket over Kevin Durant. We
need to read to go. We we we love fran
van Vliet, Yes we'll miss him obviously. If we can
take a seismic leap and reading and season number two,
we won't miss him nearly as much either. How about this,
Are you going to miss him too much? Or take
your time getting back which that those are the two
ways to go with it all.
Speaker 2: I think I could see some early season growing pains
with trying to figure things out, and then they'll hit
a stride in the middle of the season, start ripping
off eight nine wins or you know, ten out of
a evan something like that, and then by the by
around trade deadline, we're gonna be feeling really good about
where the Rockets are. I think it's gonna take a
little time with this reconfiguration of the team, which would
have been helped with Fred van Vliet being there as
the floor general, and I think that kind of makes
things a little bit more out of sorts. So I
think we could see the Rockets get you know, five
and five out of the gate or something like that.
I will say this, if they don't like what's going on,
em will call Rafel and say go get me somebody. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I will also say this, I was rarely impressed
by Read Shepherd's first season, but guys can always grow,
especially young guys, So I think in times I've made
a mistake of judging young players a little too early
and letting them grow into their bodies, especially the way
the guys come into the league, how young they are.
Letting them get better and then we'll see and we'll reevaluate.
So that's all I'll say about Red Shepherd. I'm I
don't think he's going to the world on fire, but
he can be better and he can be effective. Yeah,
and he's gonna get an opportunity. Uh the way the
world will not be on his shoulders. It's this is
Kevin Durant, This is a Men Thompson taking the next level.
This is Jabari Smith with a brand new contract. This
is tarr E's in trying to get a new deal.
I mean, there are other guys that have just as
much responsibility and pressure on them.
Speaker 2: As Red Chipper.
Speaker 3: It's a question of how much were his problems physical
where he was I mean, he wasn't driving to the
basket at all last year where he couldn't get by
Was it he couldn't get by guys or he wasn't
confident enough to try to get by guys because he
was doing a better job of it late in the season,
he's gonna he's gonna be a shooter and that's what
he's there for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you gotta have a little dribble drive game
in the NBA. You just have to, all right.
Speaker 3: Speaking of the game, Kevin Durant was on this show
a couple of days ago, and if we were fanboys,
I fully admit it.
Speaker 2: I was not going. I didn't think I was going
to be, but I did. You were? You kelt it cool?
Speaker 3: You see the smile on my face, normal smile. You
were one hundred percent fanboy. I'm the jump and I
don't blame you for it. It's not true. Oh please,
I was keeping it cool. You were not until he
put his.
Speaker 2: Arm on my shoulder.
Speaker 3: You were melting like popcorn butters what you were doing?
By the time you score foot forty eight points in
a game in seventeen shot, he's got game. Apparently on
the social streets as well. He's now Kay Adams. Uh,
she said NFL network?
Speaker 2: Is that correct?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 2: She thought she was? Was she was she before?
Speaker 3: How did Kay Adams become the delightful Cha Adams? I mean,
she's she's what finished your statement? Smoke it hot?
Speaker 2: There you go?
Speaker 3: I mean you asked, well, Ascid answered she was an
in game host for the Saint Louis Cardinals. Then asked,
she was on Sunday Ticket and Fantasy Zone, Fantasy Zone
with Kay Adams. She also worked for FanDuel and NBC
Sports Network, and she works now for Oh yeah, she
was on INNFO Networks Good Morning Football. Already knew I
wasn't making that up, Good Morning Football. I'm not getting
up for that. I'm not either, but I knew she
was on it. Let's see, she was on In Practical Jokers,
she was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Speaker 2: How'd she do?
Speaker 3: And now she decided a couple of years ago not
to resign with the NFL network. Now she hosts her
own NFL daily show, Up In Adams on fan Dual TV. Okay, well,
she happened to get a major NBA star guest on
the show. And we'll let you hear a little snippet
of that which is making the social media rounds. We
hear Kay Adams talking to our new favorite rocket, Kevin Durant.
Speaker 2: And then as you come down in Houston, which I'm
expecting you to come to a game, I came to
a game where you did not even you wouldn't need
you literally would not even like, wait you came, you
didn't come out, you to come out and say like, hey,
you to a game it was and I had to
find out the next week on your show that you
were at my game, which is crazy, Kevin. I think
I literally told you I was at the game. But
it's all good. That's old. That's old.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 2: I literally said, see you tonight. We're moving on to
the next season, and I'll see you at one of
these games in Houston. Which game?
Speaker 1: Which game?
Speaker 2: We're going for a barbecue down to Texas. When you
get out of here, right, what's the spot where? What's
what feels like home so far? I heard you say
it feels like home. Why does it feel like home?
Because it's Texans. It's just Southern hospitality. It's just Texas.
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, You're gonna.
Speaker 11: See what you get out there.
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna keep telling you. You're gonna have to
immerse yourself in the culture when you get down here.
I feel like for me once all right by kay
m hm oh, it's dripping with flirtations, some tension in there.
Speaker 3: You know what they both contentions. Youre talking about their Johnathan.
You guys know what tension?
Speaker 2: Sexual tension? You know what does Knie the cold towel
Katie are? They both need to tell anyone cold tell
Wait what are you talking about?
Speaker 6: Wait?
Speaker 2: What's if you're hot and bothered, you gonna cool yourself off? Okay,
Now I'm just jealous. So then the question became current
Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 3: For me, I'd say, oh, she's she's spectacular, But Shahti's
on the top of the list.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's because it's the seasonal sport.
Speaker 3: Going to double date. Of course you're happily married. Yeah,
I don't know if my mife would appreciate that, but
that's her chaperone. She'd be the fifth well should be
the driver uber exil.
Speaker 2: She's not listening. That's not right, that's not right. She
don't hear it. I'm sitting her this clip. No you're not, No,
you're not. I'll be in much trouble as you are.
I know, trust me, you will be out there. You
on the US faster than me.
Speaker 3: So what I thought, and I had not looked at
the replies on Twitter, I'm assuming that. Then it became
a debate as to work. He's going to take her
for barbecue. Now, Ross, you are the barbecue snob of
the show.
Speaker 2: Do you want to say?
Speaker 3: I want you to rhyme it because we don't give
away free plugs on the show. I mean, they're never
gonna They're never gonna plug the show. So what I
if you were too like there's to be a show
back in the day called the Dating Game. Uh huh
where they are love connection. For that matter, you go
on a date and you'd have a chaperone and they
would do dinner, drinks, movie, whatever, go out to a concert.
If if Katie and Kay Adams are going out to
a date to ghost get something eat after the game,
where are they going?
Speaker 2: Barbecue snob? One to eat Ruth? Ruth? Okay, now you

Speaker 2: I got beef ribs.
Speaker 3: You ever had a b frid by yourself? No, I've
never had to be for it by myself. I've shared
bee for rib. Doesn't share a bee for rib. Yeah,
you can't have you can't tackle it all by yourself. No,
you get you have that thing in your mouth at
one time. You got to put it off and to
give it to somebody else.
Speaker 2: Well, no, do that. You can cut it up. It'd
be kind of tough. No, it's not. It's it's okay, tender.
Speaker 3: So when uh, when I see uh Katie, I'm I'm
gonna go to practice on Saturday.
Speaker 2: So I will, I will say, taking him to take
her to rouse. Yes, okay, that's my number one spot.
Got it all right there?
Speaker 3: It is, uh so a little flirtation for the Rockets
new superstar and a she does her own podcast for
Fandel Okay, FanDuel TV.
Speaker 2: I don't even know is there a real channel of Fandle.
I think actually it might be.
Speaker 3: Maybe you know what it is all, Maybe it's all
those regional channels that I don't looking to fill programming.
We gotta chut you by mess up at the bottom
of the r ROSSI and I have been as polait
as I can to a group of.
Speaker 2: Drivers out there that I just can't do it. Anymore.
Speaker 3: Hmmmmm hmmm. Professional radio teas right there, ladies and gentlemen.
Kia soul drivers, they're usually pretty bad. One of my
vehicles is a kias so oor team Kia, very comfortable.
It's it's to tell you right. It's a big one.
Speaker 2: It's nice. Oh tell you right. You got to tell
you right. The wife drives. Whoa, that's nice. Mm hmm wow.
So if there's a Rea dealership out there would like
to have me a commercial commercial for them, Andy'd be
happy to do it.
Speaker 3: Okay, need a REFI youah, no, upside down already, No, No,
If I was going to refight, go to the of
course the show Federal Credit Union eleven fourteen on Sports
Talk seven Nati seven one three two one two five
Sevenatti seven one three two one two five seven Nati.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be honest with you. I don't think
Vegas is respecting the Texans at all.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 3: I don't think they're a super Bowl contender. I don't
think that these issues are going to be solved overnight.
I do believe the Texans in a philosophical miscalculation and
deciding that this offensive line they put in front of CJ.
Strow was gonna work. But with that all being said,
sports RV, the win total for the Texans has dramatically shifted.
It was what nine and a half to start the year.
Am I correct on that?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: And right now, if you were to go to Las
Vegas in final win toll, which you can't do this
much longer, I'm assuming it's you're at the quarter pole
the season coming up here, right, so you're already at
the quarter pole. The over underwin total for the Texans
right now is at six and a half. Rossy that
feels low? Oh yeah, Maddie, you ready to go over? No,
I'm not making a bet on okay, but let's do this.
Let's let's revisit where the Texans schedule is. Okay, we
got to find six more wins. We gotta find I
need seven more to beat you in a bet we
made preseason because ours is I had the under seven
and a half.
Speaker 2: And it was just a kid was a it was
a delement you did. I didn't. I didn't really care.
This is my fault.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna lose now, No, hold on, let's figure
this out. I'm going to tell you that they're gonna
split the next two games. Okay, that'd be Ravens and Seahawks,
all right, So that would put them at two and four. Sure,
why out home for the Niners, utterly beatable. Yes, home
for the Broncos, l beatable, home for the Jaguars. We're
looking kind of decent at Tennessee. Win home for Buffalo
Thursday night, short week. They're gonna lose by fifteenth, all right,
at the Colts, loss at Kansas City, loss home for Arizona,
when home for Las Vegas, when at the La Chargers,
home for the Indianapolis Colts, close out the year.
Speaker 2: Hell, you can't find six more wins in that group?
How many was that? Well, let's do it. Let's okay,
let's we should have counted. We apologize for the last
forty five seconds.
Speaker 3: I think the one and one and it was six.
I think we got them at seven wins. Can they
split between the Broncos and Niners? Yes, Yes, that's two
and two for the Jaguars. They're beating the Jaguars at home,
three and two. They're winning at Tennessee. That's four and two.
They're not beating the Bills. Bills, they're not beating the
Colts in Naples. They're not beating the Chiefs. They're gonna
beat the Cardinals. So that's Cardinals makes five. Vegas at
home makes six. Yes, and then you gotta split either
at LA or a home game against the Colts that
end the season.
Speaker 2: It could be tough.
Speaker 3: So I've already got you said that we're looking for six, right,
we got five. Yeah, it's possible. I would that's a
massive in my part, as a massive, stay away. Stay
away is exactly the way I would describe it. I
am staying away from that because look, this team, to
me still had a lot of fundamental problems. While all
the people that are fake media, people that think they
have our media because are on YouTube. We're putting them
in the super Bowl. They're not as bad. They're not
as bad as what their record into Cants. I just
don't think they're First of all, their defense is going
to keep them alive in many mini games. You with
the lowest, one of the lowest point totals in the
NFL through four weeks, maybe the lowest fifty one point
something like that.
Speaker 2: I think they have points per game allowed. It's a
pointer yards. They're number one. I mean, that's going to
keep you alive? Now?
Speaker 3: Is the ground game a hot mess the rest this year? Look,
Woody Marks was really good against Tennessee. But that that
feels we don't we cannot say that's a that's a
regular occurrence. He's ready to bust loose baby rock and roll.
Woody Marks, Why are you looking at me like that?
That that felt overly positive. We're trying to have a
thoughtful coup.
Speaker 2: What he Marks and Nick Chubb.
Speaker 3: I'm feeling decent about them, feeling better about the backfield
than I was when it was all Nick Chubb and
Dario I wasn't feeling great. I'm feeling more optimistic than
I was earlier in the season. And we still have
no word on Joe Mixon.
Speaker 2: That's fine. Well, we're not gonna go to work because
he didn't gonna be playing this year.
Speaker 3: See, I correctly didn't put the Texans in the rotten
five because they destroyed the Typans. Yeah, then there there's
no chance earned tomorrow on any circumstance. No, okay, uh
so they're going to look it would take an active
it would take a miracle for them to get the
ten still possible, but that's just that feels a little
ambitious by Vegas Lines. There's a guy who kind of
looks at the markets and determines where everybody would be.
They have the Titans as the worst team in football
by Vegas Lines Texans fourteenth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I that feels right.
Speaker 3: No one should be thinking that the ills have been
fixed because you're beating the worst football team in the NFL.
Speaker 2: I mean that first half ross.
Speaker 4: You know what?
Speaker 3: You know how the NFL network puts on the best
five games of the week. Yeah, and sometimes they archive
things just for for just for repackaging purposes. They literally
burned the tape. I see, I didn't think it was
that bad. But I also had still good, good buzz
going from the tailgate. So, now, who'd you tailgate with?
Speaker 2: My peeps?
Speaker 3: They have a full spread of food and drink, no
drink beers, literally on tailgate of a truck.
Speaker 2: Old school Maddi. Oh, so there was no no food. No,
why do you want to kill your buzz that way?
Speaker 3: But because you're in the minority, there were probably more
people with food at their tailgate than just alcohol.
Speaker 2: That's called amateur hour, Matt, Is that right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So you're calling all those people that cook out amateurs. Yes,
they would probably think you're the amateurs. That's because you
didn't have the barbecue going. You didn't have the you
didn't have the eggs benerdict, you didn't have the skill
of going frying up the bacon exactly. Who needs to
bring a bottle of Holidays to the to the tailgate?
But I think the Texans fans are serious tailgaters. They're
so serious they don't get in their seats. By the
first quarter. We were throwing the pigskin around, grilling up
fajetas and whatnot. Was there any was there any relationship
and building out there? What do you mean like somebody
got married at the Texans game?
Speaker 2: Really? Yes, you didn't know. I didn't. I wasn't there.
That must not have been in the origin a lot.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 2: No, they got married in the stadium. Okay, I didn't
see that either. Where was that? It was during commercial
break apparently, or they at least at CBS showed it.
Speaker 3: I didn't catch that. I'm going to tell you something.
I love sports. Yes, I'm not getting married again. So
this is kind of moot conversation. That's true, Jonathan. Is
there any amount of money we could give you to
get married at a sporting event.
Speaker 2: No, she would tell me no straight to everybody in
from the crowd. And you do it on track. No,
this was an engagement. This was the marriage. You can
hurtle over. You can come down the aisle and hurtle
over some hurdles. That'd be fun. You and you need
to do. That's not that idea. If you propose to her,
you need to get one of those paper mache what
do you call those things?
Speaker 6: What do you?
Speaker 3: Batons? Yeah, and put the ring baton. You could pass
the baton the ring. Boy can pass your baton. Okay,
I'm passing my heart to you. And don't don't run
too fast because this ring may fall out. What if
he drops the baton?
Speaker 4: You do it?
Speaker 3: You get your mom and your dad and her parents
on one four by four relay, Yeah, and they and
they walk the baton over to you, and then you
handed to her the very last second.
Speaker 2: This is actually a really good idea. That's a wonderful idea.
This genius. I'm gonna write this down, but you should.
Speaker 3: To my point, though I would never get married to
a sporting event, I can understand the engagement parts sort of.
You know your lifelong fans. You met together at a
sporting event. I kind of get that, but to literally
get married, I mean she's wearing a dress and everything.
To each their own, but their nerds.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Nerds is the word? Dorks, dweebs, damage
people clinically ill. How do you want to say it?
We've we've run the gamut of characterizations. M hm, time
for break it is. You know what we're gonna do.
Those people are gonna call us, They're gonna say, shows up, man,
let's get married.
Speaker 3: We want to get married. True love can happen with
the eleven yard line. I guess so they were on
the field, they were on the off of the side.
But I want to say, I want to say Torol
was there, like it's like a witness.
Speaker 2: I must getting my brisket barbecue sandwich from the Ruth
Barbecue station. How much is that gonna run you?
Speaker 3: It was nineteen bucks. That's actually not that bad. You
get filled for nineteen I got a bag of peanuts too.
You know what did you had a red jersey and
we get is a battle run on the back?
Speaker 2: No it' said a Johnson. Oh we're gonna get you
a custom jersey.
Speaker 3: I had multiple people asked me if I wore my
Dominic Davis jersey, and I guess I should have. That
would have been It's like one of those old Reebok replicas.
Speaker 2: It's just ratty. I didn't want to be wearing a
Ratty jersey at the game. That's funny.
Speaker 3: All right, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for you to
call in at seventy one three two one two five seven,
honey and tell some people to shut.
Speaker 2: Their bumb asses up. Gordon's like, Hey, I might come
to the U of H game against Texas Tech, and
of course when the Cougar's down twenty, I'll leave it.
You know what I said at Gordon, shut you o
cajun ass up shit so bum ass up.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 3: He's just bitter because his LSU squad choked away at
Ole Miss last week. Collegemac talk is more than I
I live for it. It's nothing, nothing ever personal. That's
how I feel m hm. So when the Cougars lose
this week, you can send me a Texas sorry for
your loss, and I'll accept it.
Speaker 2: I won't send you a text. You could, I mean
maybe if they were actually relevant.
Speaker 3: God, you are the King of just back door low
key horrific insults. Again proves why you're just one of
the meanest people I know. I think I'm nice, all right,
you're not seven one three two one two five seven
ninety seven one three two one two five seven. Un
If something is bothering you this week, someone has bothered you,
you want to tell them these sweet little words, tell.
Speaker 2: Them shit tobam ass up.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 3: If some of the office is having as asking you
to do redo a file or change one word in
a particular document, over and over and over again, and
you're trying to get this deal done, and the semantics
are not that big of a deal, tell them anybody
got time for that? Nobody got time I gott it
aint nobody got time for something I meant. This is
the second time I brought this up, but I'm really
starting to get peeved by it. We have way too
many people in this country that are insisting on backing
into their parking spot. It is becoming a terrible, terrible epidemic.
It happened at Kingwood High School yesterday. It happens in
our office building all the time. Your car has a
reverse for a reason, park like a normal human being
take your two seconds to park, get out of your car,
and reverse your way out. You taking four to five
attempts to try to back your car into the spot
so you can leave a little earlier. Ain't nobody got
time for that. I'm done with you people. So what
I've decided to do is, if it happens here at
the station again, I'm gonna get my little yellow sticky
pads and I'm gonna park. I'm gonna put a little
sticky note on there and say you park like a dumbass.
I'm doing it.
Speaker 2: Didn't somebody do that to you before? Yes, they called
me an ahole.
Speaker 6: And I deserved it.
Speaker 2: Ross. I'm serious.
Speaker 3: I'm done with the backing in. Stop doing it a
couple of times. First of all, I don't mind it.
I do it probably half the time. It depends on
what the scenario is and where the spot is or
and if I pass it up. But I will say,
I think you get full.
Speaker 2: Uh you will you allow it fully to trucks Because
trucks it's hard for them with if a truck is
pulling out, it's hard for them to see. Because of
where I think trucks should be allowed to back in
no matter what personally, and this is I'm not somebody
who who drives a truck, but I have before. It
feels more allowable with trucks because it's just hard to
get in and out of spaces.
Speaker 3: Anyways, May I allow one exception if there's no cars
around you, if the lot is empty and you're just
trying not empty, but it's not like you're sugested with
cars going either direction, trying to get trying to get out. Yeah,
I'm okay with that. I mean, I don't have a
problem with it in general. Oh, it's it's a new
pep pave of mind. They say, shut you Obamas up.
Speaker 6: Matt.
Speaker 2: I wonder what percentage of pep well back in every time?
For me, it's about fifty.
Speaker 3: If you can do it on the first go round,
I'm okay, or second sometimes you got to retrain. I'm
running into the third and fourth time. Well that's my
middle fingers too. Well, you gotta relax in take it
you can. This makes me mad.
Speaker 2: I'm just sorry.
Speaker 3: I understand if you're doing it like three or four
times and there in the way, especially in our office building,
because seriously, can you make people think that you're leaving
and you're not correct, but you can't do in a
high school parking lot. You know, those are things are
dangerous as it is. So that's my one thing in
the week so far. I don't got problem with people
back in all right, Ross matter, I'll tell you what
I do. Got a problem here we go. I was
at the Texans game this weekend, yes as battle Red Ross,
and there was I would say ten to fifteen percent
of the crowd wearing Oilers gear. And I'm gonna tell
you it was about fifty to fifty Titans and Oilers fans.
And this is why I have told you the city
of Houston. The Oilers left you, Bud Adams hated you.
They never accomplished anything anyways. They never went to a
Super Bowl, they never won a Super Bowl. Why are
we still hanging on to a team that left in
nineteen ninety six minutes now it's.
Speaker 2: Been thirty years. Ain't nobody got time for you showing
up rooting for the Texans and Oilers gear. Ain't nobody
get tad I totally agree. The Orders are my team.
Speaker 3: When they left, they left, you got and then there
were people there where it was like a fifty you
were like, is this guy rooting for the Texans of
the Titans, because there was people in oilers gear with
like cam word oilers jerseys, and there was people in
warm Warren Moon oilers jerseys rooting for the Titans.
Speaker 2: I was confused as hell all weekend. Houston Texans fans,
if you're gonna go to the game rooting for the
Houston Texans, do not wear oilers gear. Ain't nobody got
time for that.
Speaker 3: If you are on oiler, if you get if you
are wearing oilers geared, that means you're a Titans fan.
And you say no, one, then don't do it the
exactly you are giving away the sign that you are
a Titan and of the Titans fan.
Speaker 2: At the end of our row. He was talking mess
all game long, and then as soon as they got
the touchdown to go up what nineteen to zero, he
left and never came back. Shout your bumb ass up,
Titans fan. There was a lot of Titans fans there.
Shit to bum ass up.
Speaker 3: Man to Rennies Rennies Nies, you got crappy pancakes now,
Rennies Rennies, I got a sandwich from with you. A
couple of days ago, and I wanted to get seasoned fries.
They cost like thirty nine cents more.
Speaker 2: Putting a little bit of salt on him and seasoning
them should not cost you extra money. Oh the season fries,
The season fries costs more. Ups. Ain'tybody got time for
dumb ass up salesbody? Yeah? Getting up because I get
I got it. Here's what I don't do. If my
meal comes with me up with the season fries and
I downgrade a regular size, I don't as for money back,
So stop it. Stop stop penny pinching us. Have you
met America squeezing you for every dime? Matthew, Yeah, but
for a little bit of season salt. Don't come on,
you know you should pack your own bring my own
season salt to Rainni's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bring a little Tony chatuaries with you, all right?
A little slappy of mama yan when you hurt my
mom that way? Oh you hum with the salt?
Speaker 2: Okay? Uh, Jonathan, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 6: You know what?
Speaker 2: To all the people that when I'm backing into my spot,
which I do every time. I'm backing my spot every time,
said people that are all my butt not letting me
have time to back in my start acting like grown
ass man and go to parking school. No, the first time,
you don't need you don't need your nineteen seventy eight
sh your bag going forward different times. Seriously, I'm gonna
back in, have a perfect spot. Pull out yah, smooth easy,
all that pulling out smooth and easy. Abo, go to
your house and you at your house. You know I'm
smoothing easy at the park. You horridge in our office
building and I'm back in today too. I'll give you
something smooth and easy. Is that a threat or a promise?
That's it's you? Then you're the one that's taking your
sweet ass time. Actually, I'm excellent. It takes me one
smooth well, then I another complain about you. You do
it one time to slide it back in there the
right way. It's good you did two or three times.
I ain't got time for that. It's all I'm saying.
This isn't training academy here either. You know exactly.
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 2: Seven one three two one two five seven Aunty, you
heard what we're mad about? What are you guys upset about?
And ladies too?
Speaker 3: Seven one three two one two five seven hoey seven
one three, two, one two five, seven, eleven forty three.
This is the mount Thomas should ross and we thank
you very much for listening to Sports Talk seven ninety.
Speaker 2: Six. What was Max free? Not on the mountain? Aaron Boone?
Your idiot sixty six WFN with Morty Wido, Morny, Morny, Morty,
what happened? Aaron BOONEI is an idiot old Joe Torre's
Jack or Joe Gariety's for that matter. Yeah, Joe Tory
would have kept Max free of the ball game, Morty, unbelievable.
The guys that you gotta let them get the number
eight and the number nine.
Speaker 6: It out.
Speaker 2: We got no Mets. Yankee's gonna lose today, Chucks, when
we got the Knicks are gonna now win the east
of this city. Sounds I think they should trade erin.
Judge James and Ganoakes.
Speaker 9: You're on the fan, fellas man, thatck you man could
take it my call, Governor Thomas. Look, I don't know
where you got that boy, man.
Speaker 6: That guy's Colt.
Speaker 9: Uh what do you call Colt Thompson?
Speaker 10: That young cat.
Speaker 9: I don't know if he's a true Herestonian, but it
don't really matter. I mean, first of all, he's down
in it dump's just like a lot of you guys
because Astals couldn't pull it out. I feel bad for
my wife because my wife is a true Ustonian and
she's a diehard Astral fan, and I used to root
for Jose Cruz when I was a kid growing up
all the way over there in New York. So my
point is that dude, he needs to get more new
material instead of trying to troll troll the Yankees, because
you can't troll the Yankees. Nobody counts trolled. Not that
dude over there in the Afternoon Show, not even this
clown here, that Pineapple dude. He order to shut his
bumb ass up. And then the last time I'm going
to talk about it, the last time I wanna talk
about is those dumb asses over there in that box Sports.
With the exception of one or two people all over
see for West Coast, up is in that dumb Jason
Smith do that he's a big ass Met fan, always
trying to wreck outran the Yankees and everything. Man, how
does it feel to be a Met fan? Because they're
not even dead either, So he don't want to shut
his bod Mass up and stop talking about Amon Judge
because if there's any youth, be told he should still
be m VP because he just didn't get more Homemann
than him and a few token RBIs every other category
he rock man Judge. But that's all I got, man,
Thank you for taking my call, Governor.
Speaker 10: Thomas P.
Speaker 2: Appreciate you. James up next Islanders coach Butch Goring.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Butcher Goring, I think, but for real,

Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 2: By the way, yeah, of course, good for him. Paul
on seven, Aunt, Paul, what's the matter with you?
Speaker 4: And uh?
Speaker 5: I think it's.
Speaker 2: Well, it looks like you're trying to park the car.
Speaker 3: What you're talking to is yeah, calls back, by the way,
multiple people have set with you on Twitter, Matt, let's
take a look.
Speaker 2: Kyle says, shut your bumb ass up. I agree with
sports RV. I have a truck and several parking lots.
You can't even back out unless you back in, but
I can actually do it in one try. Every time
it's people in cars that can't back in. Matt Kenny says,
Matt one hundred percent agree. Regarding people backing in. Every
few years there is something people start doing they normally
do not. A lot of the people start backing in
just started doing it because they see other people doing it.
Those people are sheep sheeps, shrape sheeple grade point and
then h town Dad says is a thirty seven year
old driver for ups. They teach to back and everywhere.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 3: Statistically speaking, fifty percent of accidents come from backing up
hashtags up man, Yeah, that's look he hashtagged. It's I
appreciate the hashtat. I tried to shut I used the
first letters and it was actually not a good thing
to do. So that's why why s y b a U.
It has another another connotation to it, Yeah, with a
different B.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I was told it wasn't a good thing
to do, so I didn't do it. It's fine. Who
told you that, your daughter?
Speaker 3: No people on Twitter because they're all they're they're all
chasing after my uh my, my hashtags?
Speaker 2: Am I slow? I can't get the free Oh okay,
do you know what?
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: You can tell me all because I don't think I know.
Speaker 3: Is this Andreas or Andrea or Andrea Andres Andres Andres?
Speaker 6: There go.
Speaker 7: You hear me?
Speaker 2: Yes, sir Andress and.
Speaker 13: Yeah, sorry, I am had one more person, but shut
your bum ass up on us. Uh reverse parking people, Listen.
The reason I do this, The reason I do this
is because, unfortunately, speeding through a parking lot is not
a federal crime. So when these mofos stops driving forty
five miles out of the parking lot, I will stop
reversing my car. But until that day comes, people are
even slow down the parking lot, so we'll reverse it
so that I could see them zooly rep past me.
Speaker 2: Did them on dress? First of all, nobody's going forty five.
People do drive crazy. Have you ever been a HGB
on a Sunday who it was like a NASCAR racing there? Oh,
I guess I stay.
Speaker 3: It's parking, it's parking garages, parking lots. Yeah, they're going
forty five. I get you on that for sure. Andreas,
with all their respect, let me tell you something. I
want you to videotape the next time you'd back up
and if you if you back up on the first try,
then we're always forgiven of not shut your by mess up.
Speaker 13: Okay, I'll buy the argument. Maybe takes you poor tries,
then you don't know how to drive at the most.
I'll give you two, but one should be fun enough.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I don't have an issue on
drafts as long.
Speaker 3: As it's done in the first and maybe a second
if it's a tight spot like our our garage here
is criminally small the lots space.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the phone call. I can understand trying the.
Speaker 3: Second time here. I like I like the meskan flame
for this flamed. I just write you two tweets in
my support we're talking.
Speaker 2: About that's the minority. Just because you're you bat two
fifty when it comes to parking on the first time,
what call me? You know what you'mst siy. I'm gonna tomorrow.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go in the office billioning tomorrow and
till I see you park and I'm gonna out you
for the fraud that you are.
Speaker 2: Maybe on the fifth floor. I meet you on the
fifth floor. Watch you know what Russ knows are a park?
Speaker 3: You know people people will uh just drive in and
try to have to do it like three times. That's
the same people that are backing in and have to
do it like three times.
Speaker 2: So that's stupid. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm saying,
the chance of you doing.
Speaker 3: It three times is more prevalent when you're trying to
back I don't know, it's it's kind of tight in
that uh in that parkinge.
Speaker 2: I know ours we need more sporting team. Do what
you please. I back in.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it depends. Okay, tomorrow, I'm filming him. We're gonna
see mister one for one can do.
Speaker 2: It over your life.
Speaker 3: Well, most everybody has backup cameras these day. The camera,
Oh now, he's an arrogant driver. I actually don't use
it either. I put the window down with two arrogant people,
I put the window down and I look back and
I do it old school on a tough one one
such delays j'n won't trust your cameras. Really On Saturday, Willy,
what's the matter with you?
Speaker 11: My pet Pave is going to a game, whether it's
at Fortida Center or at the football field watching the
football team. This has happened to us couple of times.
It doesn't happen frequently, but somebody who decides to stand
up the whole game practically, and I did say something
to somebody one time. He turned around and gave me
a go to hell look like he was going to continue,
like he was going to continue to do it, Like
I paid for my ticket and I have a right
to stand up in front of you so you can't
see the game now that that's time it happened. It
was that for THETA Center. The couple behind them wouldn't
say anything. I know they didn't appreciate that either. I
almost said something, but then I thought, well, what does
it matter. He's probably one of these personalities that's going
to tell me I'm going to hell and I'm going
to do what I want to do. That's you know,
that's my pet.
Speaker 6: Peeves Obama man.
Speaker 2: I usually like to have strong opinions about these things,
but Ross, you and I have wavered on this one.
Speaker 3: When you're at it depends on the game in the scenario. Also,
if you're blocking kids' views. I like to stand the
majority of games, Like when we were when I was
at school at UT we stood the whole game and
if you didn't, like you were gonna get yelled at
in the student section. You feel the same way about concerts. See,
that's another thing that game, I think, especially if you're
on the floor, like we were on the floor at
the weekend. We stood the whole whole concert. And if
you want to sit, that's fine, You're just not gonna
be able to see. I think, I know, and I
tried to be cognizant of that.
Speaker 2: I try to.
Speaker 3: Let's say, if there's somebody like tall behind me, I
will look, I will look around, and I'll try to
like not block people's view.
Speaker 2: But also, I paid money for this seat, this I
am entitled to my space, and I want to stand.
That's a good argument.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can see both sides. I do not have
a strong enough opinion on this, and they call me weak.
I can fully except because there's sometimes on the moment
presents third down and six you got yeah exactly stand
up root and then you got a great song at
the concert. I mean, but it's some people want to
stand the whole time. And if you want to stand
the whole time, that's I think that's your right, and
people will get yelled at, like it can get crazy.
You got crazy the Sticks concert, I went to people
yelling at each other, sit down, stand out, standing up
with sticks.
Speaker 2: And you can sit down to sticks.
Speaker 3: You can't wait anyway, lady comes on, you can definitely
get crazy. I thought they didn't play that, lady. It
was uh renegade. Renegade's a gym, Sawa. You can sit
down for don Yeah, yeah, stand up for renegade. Right,
maybe wonder you can stand up, but pay three and
a half hours for good songs that come. On eleven
fifty nine, the final two hours of the Matt Tamas
showed Ross's coming.
Speaker 2: So I just said that one in therething like that.
Excuse me, Andy Newti is athletic trector at University Houston.
To go to Jonas in a half an hour here
on seven ninety yeah four Sports Talk seven ninety It
is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross seven to one
three two one two SEVENANTI Ross is a poll question out.
Speaker 3: We'll tell you more about that after we give you
first as we present to you every day at this time,
the news noon, and I know that Ross has been
busily preparing the news at noon.
Speaker 2: Yes, Matthew, I've been on top of the news at
noon here on the mat Toby Show with Ross. Okay,
I'll get right into it. Since you asked. Playoff action
is in full swing in Major League Baseball. Tiger's defeated
the Targa the Guardians two to one. You also had
the Cubs over the Padres. How about those Red Socks.
Speaker 3: Yankees get the bases loaded in the bottom of the
ninth inning, zero out against the roll as Chapman. He
gets three straight outs without surrendering or surrendering a run.
They get the victory, notably Matthew Alex Bregman with an
insurance run batted in in the ninth inning. He was
two for four as he continues the tradition of crushing
the Yankees in the postseason, carrying the torch for the
Astros who did not make it. Are we rooting for
the Red Sox at all because of Bregg's at all?
You can say, no, I I'm kind of indifferent towards Bregg.
Speaker 11: Is that wrong?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: I have look, I personally like Alex Bregman, but as
a sports hero and whatever, he's still a Boston Red Sox.
I mean, I just I just can't fathom going Let's
go Socks.
Speaker 2: I just can't.
Speaker 3: Dodgers smashed the Reds five to ten. Now five to ten,
I'm sorry, ten to five. I was like, damn, sorry, whatever,
I'm new here. Blake Snell was very good, gave up
only a couple of runs. That Dodgers' bullpen is something
to keep an eye on. But five home runs for
the La Dodgers, two of them off the bat of
show Otani, the Greatest Show on Earth performing in the playoffs,
both of those teams, all of those games going in
the game number two today, starting now with the Tigers
versus the Guardians on ESPN, and we will give you
frequent updates as to you how that game is going along.
Speaker 2: Okay, will aj Hinch move on? Back to back wild
Card champions? Could be.
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 3: Well elsewhere in some Major League Baseball news, Braves manager
Troyce excuse me, Brian Snicker, who was there and World
Series champion in twenty twenty one, it will not be
back as the manager for the Atlanta Braves. Will he
be on a fishing trip with his son who won't
have a job coming up here for the Houston Astros.
Speaker 2: We will find out.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, Brian, Yeah, I said Brian Snicker, Right, what
did I say yeah, Brian Snicker, Yes, twenty twenty one
World Series champion out for the Atlanta He's saying resigned.
Speaker 2: My guess is like, we'd like you to resign. I
want to say no, we'd like you to resign. Sixty
nine years old.
Speaker 3: Will move into an advisory rule that means gonna play
a teen holes every Thursday.
Speaker 2: All right. Couple like he's gonna get the dinner at four.
Third couple of NFL notes, including Jayden Daniels medically cleared
for the Washington Commanders as they take on I believe
the Chargers this weekend. And Joe Flacco has been benched
for the Cleveland Browns. The new starting quarterback for the
Cleveland Browns is Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 3: Flacco will serve as the backup. Shador Sanders will remain
the third string quarterback. According to Brown's coach Kevin Stefanski,
Chador didn't even move upon the pecking order. They beat
the Packers. I don't know how they did. They're gonna
make a great defen. Miles Garrett was going off that game.
Are they gonna can can? Can Miles Garrett get you
four wins by himself? Just about He's insane. He's the
best on the planet I think as far as defensive
players go.
Speaker 2: Ravens, by the way, just checked, still remain Texans a
one and a half point favorite at Baltimore. Yes, it
was two and a half yesterday, down to one and
a half the day he got up to that high.
That's crazy. I was gonna tell you if we were
in uh we were in the Lake, Charles, that might
be money.
Speaker 3: I deck now Baltimore Ravens on the money line, but
is it on a recorded line.
Speaker 2: That's a great question. Else where I'm at NBA News
Lebron James with a gluten teal injury.
Speaker 3: By the way, the game opened up for a very
very short period of time, Ravens minus three and a half.
Speaker 2: We have a five point shift.
Speaker 6: Yeah was that with?
Speaker 2: I mean I figured with is that five points for
Lamar Jackson? Well, you helped me out.
Speaker 3: It was three and a half literally when the first
line out. Then they took it off the board, and
then they re put it back up at minus one
and a half probably about right. Uh yeah, well we'll
see what happens. A must win game for the Texans.
By the way, we can help me out with this
ESPN does not the matchup predictor does not believe what
Las Vegas believes. They the computer modules had these two
teams playing one hundred times. Yeah, that's Baltimore's favored fifty
six of those one hundred tis Yeah. How many of
those simulations are they they're taking out Lamar Jackson? I
mean probably a lot of the stats that's going on
are with Lamar Jackson playing. I had imagine.
Speaker 2: I don't know how that ESPN matchup predictor goes.
Speaker 3: Okay, but well, if you like, if you want to
use the predictor, I don't think it's very good against
the lines, just saying their studies have been done. Lebron
James sidelined open training camp with the Los Angeles Lakers
coach JJ Reddick saying, quote, a little bit of a
nerve irritation in the glute, Matt, have you ever had
a nerve irritation in the glute. I've had a pain
in the ass, but never a nerve irritation. Why are
you looking straight at me when you say that? No,
you're nothing, You're a piece of cake. You're easy.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, you know what I mean? Easy?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: I don't you know I mean you're you're easy going.
You don't make me mad.
Speaker 3: I'm easy like Sunday morning, Mmm, like bad heartburn after
a bowl of chili with beans.
Speaker 2: Terrible. They're gonna kick you out of tex Continue. They're
gonna absolutely we.
Speaker 3: Had a deep, deep conversation about chili with beans over
the weekend.
Speaker 6: You did.
Speaker 2: Yes, Who's we? I don't remember who it was with.
Speaker 3: I was gonna tell you you eat your chili however
you want. If you enter a chili competition and it
has beans, they are throwing you out. You will be disqualified.
I don't, but I don't go to chili competition. That's
what I'm saying. If you want real Texas chili, it
doesn't have beans. If you want to put beans in
it and call it whatever you want, that's fine. It's
like if you want to put a one on your steak,
you're doing it wrong, but you can still do it.
The only time I put any one on a steak. Now, Oh,
Jonathan's got issues well full.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. If there's anybody that reeks
of a one, it's gonna be Jonathan. Jonathan. You like
your meat well done? Correct? What's a medium rare? Thank god,
look at you, mad, I was nerve. I was stereotyping. No,
you know, you know what's funny. It's a bad but
true stereotype and I hate it some.
Speaker 3: Let me tell Jonathan, I don't mean a stereotype. We
don't have to stereotype. But I have dinner companions on
the road with me for the Rockets that are African American,
and they both order their steak well done, and it
I just tear up.
Speaker 2: It's so sad. I'm cultured, though, worry, thank you. But
you do put a one on it done? Do you'll?
Speaker 3: I'm occasional sauce, but the only way I put a
one on is if it's well done, because it's been
like well cooked. Early in the show, I shamed you
out of the a one sauce you did. I do
put a baron ais on it once in a while
because it really adds terrific flavor to it.
Speaker 2: But that goes on.
Speaker 3: See, I disagree with that. But if you want to
do it, it's fine. You want to put beans in
your chili, it's fine. You're just going against the rules.
You can break the rules. There's no I'm a rule breaker.
There's no real rules. Do they ever asked for Big
Max sauce in your copy? What was the consistent Who
are you discussing this with? I I need to tell
you who it is, but I'm just forgetting at this point.
But the rule was, we don't know why anti bean
people go crazy over beans in it. It's like there
are certain arguments you want to have in life. Adding
beans your chili is not one of the big big
arguments in life. Yeah, it's do whatever you want, okay,
but it's not real Texas now here comes. It's always
a pregnant pause followed by something. And that's your neuce.
And thank you very much. Eddie Nunez coming up at
about eighteen minutes here on the show. We got a
high sun today in Cleveland. A pop fly in centerfield
was dropped. The Tigers have runners at first and second
with nobody out. Ooh, did that guy just get hurt?
Chunk at the ball?
Speaker 2: Guys, it's just second base. He did he get pulled
off the field?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So they've had a drop pip pop fly and
a I think a maybe an elbow extension of some
sort by the second basement. Cleveland's just messing things up
and By the way, there are plenty of empty heats
at Cleveland, so it's not just Houston that has the
empty seats for the twelve o'clock first place.
Speaker 2: What is she doing?
Speaker 3: Come on, it's the Guardian. They're on a historic run.
Oh yeah, there is a lot of empty seats.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 3: Oh man, there's a ton my buind home play too.
Maybe they're settling in traffic. It's the top of the
first we'll reevaluating three ins. Okay, So every time Houston
gets ripped on for not filling a building up for
noon games, it leonarded it for a long time in Cleveland,
does it now? Twelve thirteen, it's a Matt Thomas show.
Speaker 2: Ross.
Speaker 3: This is Sports Talk seven ninety twenty on Sports Talk seven,
and we'll talk to any noon news I wanted. We'll
get off this chili thing.
Speaker 2: I swear. Is there a part of the country that
the beans are prevalent to the chili? I mean, if
we went to New Mexico, would they do would they
do their chili? Yeah? Probably? Uh, it's probably like New
York City style extra beans in New York City.
Speaker 3: I've ever had chili in New York City. Now, I've
had chili dogs. My mom when I was a kid,
made chili with beans, and I eat it up. I mean,
don't get me wrong, It's filler, brutally honest. Yeah, you're
just adding to it. Okay, hungry we went to go
see with the kidney beans and the pento.
Speaker 6: For chill.
Speaker 2: It's got it. We're both.
Speaker 3: I don't think I can necessarily have an argument either way. Okay,
but Ross has made chilling for me several times before
over the years, and every time it doesn't have any beans,
and it's I've enjoyed it just as mun Yeah, I've
made a I think I'm normally I try to at
least twice a winter, make a big old batch, big old.
Speaker 2: I love when you use the word batch in life.
It always should have the word big old.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Then I eat it for like four days and then, well,
you probably don't want to sit next to me on
the couch during that.
Speaker 2: Time, hmm okay, putting that into the head and trying
to figure that out now, uh okay, to keep your distance, Yeah,
during those days, that feels like the right thing to do.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 2: Seven one, Can we have a call?
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't I don't know, I'm begging for
a call, but I'd like to have one to break
up of our conversation. I mean, I don't really care
what you called me about. If you want to tell
what your have, how your how your your cholesterol level is?
I just talked to anybody at this point.
Speaker 2: Talk about the Tigers, old guy that called us yesterday,
and buy me out of the jam. Folks shutting down
the Tigers two on, they had two on nout, Nobody advanced, No,
they stuck it first and second.
Speaker 3: Nice playoff baseball, man, I miss it. And there's thirty
three thousand that are there. Are you enjoying it?
Speaker 2: Actually?
Speaker 3: I don't think even field seats forty? Friend of the
Show Randy McAvoy said there was twenty six thousand Game one.
By the way, can I shout out Randy McAvoy for
a second?
Speaker 7: Sure?
Speaker 3: Why is he listening to you thinking about this? Exact
same might be he texted a few minutes ago. Okay,
and you're not gonna believe this, but I'm gonna tell
you the God's on his truth.
Speaker 2: Then, Okay.
Speaker 3: I have brought up the fact that Karl has played
volleyball right, yes, a few times, and I told you
that i'd be announcer. Yes, two different people, Randy being
one of them okay at Channel two okay, and Bristol
over at Channel eleven. Uh huh have texted me in
the last two weeks and say, hey, we want to
come do a story about you and Carly.
Speaker 2: Wonderful.
Speaker 3: So they came to Carly's match last night. Yeah, it's
a light time of year for sports. Sorry, go ahead. No,
it's a great story, Matt, you and your daughter.
Speaker 2: It's amazing. I want to remember this.
Speaker 6: You hear this.
Speaker 3: You hear this, Houston, you hear how many is I'm joking?
Of course you know I'm joking.
Speaker 2: I know you're joking. So they both did a story,
h and it'll be they'll be I don't know when
they're gonna be on there working on it, but it's
gonna be a nice little lot of future story. But
two of us.
Speaker 3: I don't know when it Okay, But Randy did his
live sports up there at six o'clock from Kingwold High School.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, really mentioned her name, so awesome. Yeah, so did
you guys record it?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 2: No, well he just did a quick tease. But oh,
the story has not been putting. Yeah, well, we'll put
it out there in the drop box. It's fine, so cool.
Speaker 3: So thank you to Randy and thank you to Jason
for coming out to seeing her play. And they got
me some of me announcing the game, and so it
was just kind of nice.
Speaker 2: It was nice.
Speaker 3: That is the all time assist leader. Correct can to
high school all time assists leader.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 3: They both asked me about Senior Night next Tuesday, and
they's like, how are you gonna be? And I'm like,
a hot mess. I mean, you're gonna be a blubbering mess.
Blubbering mess.
Speaker 6: I give you.
Speaker 2: I don't want any one you touching me. That's that's adorable.
Speaker 3: You have many faults, I mean pages and pages of faults,
but you are a great, loving.
Speaker 2: Father to your children.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be sad it's her last home game that
I'm She's got other home games, but I've got rockets.
Speaker 2: I know where you're crying because you're gonna have to
get those flights to Rhode Island.
Speaker 3: That's why you're really crying. Right, I'll be taking the
schmided gift cards. If you all want to send something
to me, start getting them points going. You know, the
reason why, because I'll be missing her last two.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 3: The Rockets have our preseason games next week. Yeah, next Monday,
they play the Atlanta Hawks in the first preseason game.
Speaker 2: Man, that's already here. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not mad that I have any postgames for
about three weeks. I imagine I'm on game one, don't you.
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't.
Speaker 3: I cannot understate this. I'm beyond excited. I can't guarantee
a championship. I'm wishing for one.
Speaker 2: And really, if you do a lot of that, well
we're going to be there. Talk in early October.
Speaker 3: You're probably ruining the karma of the season coming up
because I think Oklahoma City knew they would be good,
but nobody thought they would be as good as they
were last year. I mean, they were thoroughbreds from the
jump and didn't let anybody in. Now, granted, Indiana did
take them to a Game seven, and that was great,
but Oklahoma City just was impossible to beat. I mean,
you had all the good Minnesota teams, you had the
Golden State team, you had the Denvers, you got the Rockets,
you had all the I mean, they survived at all,
but it feels a little more wide open that maybe
everybody else around Oklahoma City got just a little closer.
But my guest is SGA is probably thinking, you know what,
I'm the MVP from last year. I've got a great center,
I got great guards, I got We're only getting better
and more mature.
Speaker 2: We should be on top of the world again. Yeah,
they're They're championship favorites.
Speaker 3: Rightfully so. And I will tell you this already. Whoever
wins is coming out of the West. No question in
my mind about that, no question. All right, any noon,
youa is gonna join us in a couple of minutes.
We asked for a phone call literally about anything, so
Ross could stop insulting me. So we're gonna go to
Kendall in Santa Fe on seven ninety Hello Kendall, Hey,
guys love the.
Speaker 5: Show, So you want to talk about chili with beans
in it? Go to a white out at Penn State
Central PA. They love their chili with beans and I
can't stand it. My wife and I went out there.
She's a Penn State a love. We have season tickets.
We went to the white out, and you want to
talk about HV parking lots On a Sunday afternoon being
a racetrack. That's nothing compared to the three hundred thousand
people that tailgate out there. We tilgated Thursday through Sunday morning.
Speaker 10: It is a madhouse.
Speaker 6: You will get run over.
Speaker 5: If you're not paying attention.
Speaker 6: It's insane.
Speaker 5: But they absolutely love their beans and their chili, and
I can't stand it. I want to do a chili
cookoff up there one year, just so I could win
it at embarrassol LEVELM.
Speaker 3: Can I ask you this question because you brought this
up and I forgot to bring this up the last
two days. I have no dog in the fighting Penn
State Athletics. Okay, I don't have a friend. I don't
have an enemy I have. I just watched them on
TV Kendall. Is James Franklin ever gonna win a big
game at Penn State? I mean they lost again at
home in front of all those people. Why don't they
ever win big games?
Speaker 5: I'll tell you why. Because James Franklin is the Steve
Sarkesian of the Big Tens.
Speaker 6: Hands.
Speaker 5: Every single time he turned over play calling the Edney
colemickey and it's the same thing, nothing ever changed. I
mean until they get rid of him, which I doubt
they will because they're alumne associations to cheap. They're not
going to pay the buy out the way A and
M's money bags will.
Speaker 6: But I mean they it is what it is with him.
Speaker 5: They understand that. They I don't know why they keep
going back to him every year.
Speaker 4: But they do.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the phone call. Do you ever notice that?
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if you even I can't
remember watching a James Franklin really big. I mean, I
think I think I know what Eagle brought it up.
I think against top ten he might be over it's
it's a bad record. It's like four and twenty two.
I think against top ten. Okay, it's not great. They
won the first round of the pin of the playoffs,
so that's a big game relatively. I'm saying the second round. Yeah,
they got into the final four, but weren't they played.
Didn't they play like Boise State or something? They had
an easy path, but I mean, you had Oregon traveling
all the way across the country. Now, grant, Oregon's excellent too,
but so I'm not saying that. But my point is
that it's, yeah, they beat it's SMU and then Boise State. Eh,
not a murder's right away to get to the semifinals. Uh, Eddie,
noone is gonna help our Cougars get to the final
four in the College Football Playoff. And later on in
the show, we have the new offensive line rankings from PFF.
Do Texans get out of the thirty second spot even
after playing Tennessee?
Speaker 2: Are they charging up the rankings? Maybe?
Speaker 3: Ross, believe it or not is coming up in an hour.
If you're not on this next interview, this show, maybe
you could do it now?
Speaker 2: What's today? Just start it out? Twelve twenty eight on
Sports Talk seven eighty.
Speaker 3: Twelve thirty two. It is a Matt Thomas show with Ross.
We take this program until two o'clock.
Speaker 2: Coming up Saturday night, six o'clock TDECU Stadium. Are Cougar's
Your Cougar's Americas Cougars are going to take on the
Texas Tech Red Raiders And for a few minutes on
the hopefully excitening celebration that will happen on the campus.
Eddie uniez Athletic Director of University Houston, joining us here
on the show, Eddie, good afternoon, just how we wanted it?
Four and Oh versus four and oh ESPN's six o'clock
the national stage for two pretty good college football teams.
Speaker 10: That's a that's a great opportunity that's in front of
us right now for us to continue to show America
who the coops are. And so, no, you couldn't ask
for anymore. This is this is a great setup for
a great weekend.
Speaker 3: Do you ever get any editorial say so in times
of starts? I know when games are not on linear,
when they're on the plus app, you get a little
bit of an opportunity to kind of pick and choose.
But did the league basically say we'll give you the
time and you'll be ready to play it?
Speaker 10: Only only only chance we ever have is typically before
the season if it's one of the networks reached out saying, hey, listen,
we like to put you on this time. Would you
be interested or would you want to stay where we
have you?
Speaker 6: Where we have you?
Speaker 10: And so some of that plays out this time of year. No,
when it comes to ESPN and Fox, we don't is
whatever we are given that time slot T and T
is a little bit different. We're on TVs T and T.
With that new partnership, we have a little bit of flexibility,
but it's still not perfectly in our hands.
Speaker 2: You know what, though, I'll take this six o'clock kickoff
for sure. And look, we're gonna hopefully have a lot
of Houston fans there. Texas Tech fans are behind the
fact they're going to be at this game. What's it
been like talking with the athletic officials about all the
Red Raiders that may be in the building on Saturday night?
Speaker 10: We anticipated, We know that they have a strong following
here in Houston, and some of our fans are our
dual fans. We know that, and so we're gonna we're
gonna see probably more Texas Tech fans than what typically
travel for them here at our place. It's just a fact,
and it's not because of any other reason, just because
there's a strong fan base of theirs here. So we
anticipate having more than a usual visiting team fan base
that attends our games. But we're doing our part. This
is this is all about what we can do for
our experience for our fans. They'll be there, and you know,
we look forward to having them be in the venue,
but we're looking at a sellout right now. Everything is
trending hopefully by today, if not first in the morning,
everything will get to that point. So everything is moving
in the right direction. I can't thank our fans enough
with their commitment to going out getting tickets. Our students
are coming in droves, which has been phenomenal to see
over the last several weeks at our home game. So
right now we're excited where it's going and we're just
trying to alleviate all the concerns and the congestions. Now
before the weekend, you.
Speaker 3: Had an opportunity to have Colorado in a few weeks ago,
and look, the school is going through some construction things.
So as people approach this game, what are some bits
of advice you would give to anybody beyond the obligatory
get there as early as you can.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I would tell you tell them we've been working
with so what people need to understand is, as much
as it is our event, we work with a lot
of different agencies. When it comes to traffic, when it
comes to parking, when it comes to security, a lot
of that falls within the purview of University's police department.
We work with them and that's part of this. For
the last couple weeks, we've been working with them, working
with the city, with Metro, trying to make sure we
do everything we can to help the situation. The fact
goes back to our infrastructure is what it is. We're
not adding an express lane all the way to the interstate.
If we could, heck, and we would have done that
by now. So the couple of things that I'll tell
our fans is an any fan, buy your ticket for
your parking pass, tickets or your parking pass, excuse me,
buy them today, buy them tomorrow, try to get them beforehand.
On game day, most of our lots, if not every
one of them, will be just passes only. So we
are trending right now to have every one of our
typical parking lots that people would have the ability to
buy game day parking to be sold out from a
so we have other lots. So we urge everybody right
now to buy those parking passes today, Try to get
them in advance, Understand the ins and outs of how
to get to those lots if it's a different lot
than you've been used to. And then the second part
is simple. We always say come early. You're right, come early.
But just like anything else, when you go to the airport.
You know, you got to come two hours before. That's
the kind of standard people always tell you. But what
does that mean for us? I tell my wife, I
tell our fans, what would that mean? Well, come earlier
than which you would typically would come. Why Because traffic's
going to be a lot more challenging. We're going to
expect the sold out crowd. Everybody wants to get here
at the last minute, and want them to get in
the stadium at the last minute. So you know, if
you can get here a couple hours in advance, do so,
come tailgate, Come enjoy the experience because we're going to
have a lot of things happening in and around the
stadium so people can have a great time. So again,
don't don't come thirty minutes in advance because you usually
come ten minutes and thinking thirty minutes will be better. Understand,
give yourself as much time as possible. We are going
to be doing everything. We can't help you get in
the stadium. But it will be a challenging day just
because this is a lot of people in a confined space,
and we'll but we're going to make it work, and
we're going to make it the best experience.
Speaker 3: We can a few more minutes here with Addie Unia
as a thotic director at the University of Houston. So
the SEC recently at A went to this annual opponent's
thing for a three or four year stretch. Look selfishly,
and I have been a Cougar student alum for a
long time. I didn't like Conference USA because Southern mystdon't
bring people. East Carolina didn't bring people when they were
in the American I don't mind better in Texas Tech
and TCU and all the regionals coming in. So if
the more, the merrier for me at TDECU Stadium. But
let me ask you about is there be any conversation
about the Big Twelve going to this annual opponent format?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think we're still all trying to figure out
what those annual opponents would be who best fits us.
We're looking at it all sports, as as we look
at maximizing schedules for basketball and football. Really those two
are the ones that you that people see them the most.
We have to find some of those common opponents as
people like to call them, and you know, just to
say we're going to be playing everybody that's going to
be around Robin. There's some good to that, but there's
also we want our fan base to expect to see
some teams consistently, And the other side of it is,
I don't want to go play some team and then
never never have the opportunity to come host them here.
So I was in the SEC when the first conversation
started years ago, when Texas A and M and Missouri
came in the league and everybody started figuring out, Okay,
we got to we gotta have some opponents. Those conversations
have been continual. They've been having them for years, and
they've changed in that and they've adapted a little bit.
So there, there's there's there's a good reason for doing it.
Does it change some of the dynamics of your fan
base and seeing who comes in? Absolutely, we're we're having
them in the Big twelve. I would tell you today.
There's no uh end insight as far as like we're
going to have something done by next month or something.
I think it's just conversation that we need to have
so that if and when the time comes, we're better,
you know, informed, and better able to make decisions that
are necessary.
Speaker 3: Farlot's your run. Let's go back to last week Oregon State.
Did you find a different spot to stand or sit?
Maybe like mid fourth quarter? Because that was I'll be
honest with you, Eddie. And I wanted to make the trip,
but I had family obligations and I fell asleep, and
when I woke up, I was so happy because I
had DVR ed, But my gosh.
Speaker 2: The team coming back the way that it did. And
then I got to ask you too.
Speaker 3: On top of it, how was it landing at Hobby
Airport eight fifteen the following morning.
Speaker 10: So a couple of things first, So I'm not going
to give you as much of leeway than our fan
base fall honestly me, Come on now, man, you got
to stay awake and watch it through and through.
Speaker 3: But I'm a fraud, I flat out admitted. And that's
why I'm so excited. I'm going to Oklahoma State next week.
The game is at eleven o'clock. I've been in bed
by eight thirty. I'll be just fine.
Speaker 2: But that's why now we had I did.
Speaker 10: I did find a spot and it started came the
fourth quarter. Like people know me, sometimes I find a
spot and that spot worked. Dave, my theater deputy, walked
up to me at the end of the game and
said overtime was moving to the other side of the field.
He goes, hey, let's walk down to the other side.
I said, not a chance, see you later. I'm staying
right here. So, needless to say, I'm not saying I
had anything to do with it, but I liked we're
all standing. It worked. I didn't move. And then coming home, god,
it was such a hard flight. It was great that
we won, but to know that you're basically landing at
eight thirty in the morning, and then by the time
everybody gets home it's going to be nine am, nine
to fifteen in the morning. Nobody really sleeps great on
a plane, so the four and a half hour flight
back felt like an eternity. I might have slept maybe
forty five minutes to an hour somehow on that plane, right,
But it was. It was a tough saturday, and my
daughter's had homecoming dances, and so it wasn't I didn't
have the chance to just PLoP down and say I'm
gonna take a power nap. It was we got to
keep going. I got events to go with them, and
so it didn't stop. It was great, but you and
I will hopefully get to enjoy a better time next
week when we come back from Oklahoma State and it's
not you know, the next morning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't mind these eleven o'clock kicks. I'll be brutally
honest with you, but yeah, I can't. I can certainly
imagine any you going to your wife and saying, hey,
I need to sleep all day and she says, here,
take this violin with us as we go watch our
daughters of their dances.
Speaker 2: Was my guest, right, Well, the.
Speaker 10: Best part was she's like, well, I'm going to go
with one of my one of our daughters. You're going
to go with the other, and I'll see you later
on tonight. I'm thinking, well, what time does this thing over?
That's ten o'clock eleven. I'm thinking, wow, I've been I
needed so needless. When I went to bed, I was out,
I cocked out. It was along. But it was a
great day, hey, to come back from the way we did,
and to win on the road. It's never it's never
easy to win the road, you know this, So any
w get especially on the road, is a great one.
Speaker 3: Well, my family is divided. I've got a Texa tech son,
myself is the University of Houston. My wife is the
Universe Houston grad So I'll just tell you selfishly. I
know this, the regional scheduling is not always in play.
But if I can play text Tech every year, whether
it's in Lubbock or in Houston, I think it's been
a great atmosphere on Saturday, and I help a lot
of folks get out there, and like I said, get
there early because you don't want to be stuck a
kickoff still trying to find your parking spot.
Speaker 10: It's gonna be electric. It's gonna and but that's that's
that's what makes the Big twelve so great. If we
have these opportunities to play the Baylors, the TCUs, the
text Tech. Why because we're all in the same state
wall fighting for the same kids. And the reality is
this is where you're gonna get the best football in
this state, and so why not why not have these
these electric games that people can see and our fan
base is going to get energized. So again I look
forward to see everybody there. Come early, enjoy yourself, Let's
have a great time. Understand it. Please be patient with us.
There's gonna be a lot of people out there. We're
gonna do everything we can to get you in and
get you out of the stadium, hopefully after a great win.
Speaker 2: Any thanks for the visit. We'll see you on Saturday.
And best look this week sounds great, have a great one.

you for holding in. Good afternoon.
Speaker 6: Okay, guys tell you all today.
Speaker 2: We're amazing. Thank you for asking.
Speaker 6: We know you're amazing. Guess when we listened to you.
Speaker 2: Thank you so.
Speaker 6: Uh there was some debate about Chili, right so, and
I've got a little little credibility, uh about you know,
a second place in the World Championships, back to back
third places, a US Open champ ship, over one hundred awards.
Speaker 2: Wow, US Open Chili. How many competitions, how many competitors
are in the US Open Chili.
Speaker 6: Competition this year was one hundred and seventy four and
you got what I have a first place and that
was the twenty twenty four twenty twenty five I actually
hosted the cookoff in Jamaica.
Speaker 2: Beat US National Open Chili Champion. Let me ask you this.
You put beans in it, no competition.
Speaker 6: We are not allowed to use beans.
Speaker 3: Let me ask this Greg, if I'm if I'm a
judge for this, I'm going to take one hundred and
seventy three spoonfuls of chili to determine who the best
of the chili is going to be?
Speaker 2: Is that really what I'm going to do?
Speaker 6: No, what you're going to do is we will divide
that up into ten to fifteen chilies per table. Right,
So you're going to have four to five judges on
each of those tables, and he may have center fifteen tables.
So you take half and ties. They're gonna score those
from one to ten, So you take the top if
they're sent chili as an example, you're gonna take the
top five plus they need the tie and they're gonna
move on to another round. So you might have six
or seven rounds to get down to a final, twenty
between eighteen and twenty one, and they're gonna termine the
winners from those that got cut down, you know, for
the gere that move on to the next round.
Speaker 3: But I'm not gonna have any more than say, a
single bike, because I'm gonna be pretty full.
Speaker 2: I've been trying all these chilis, right, you.
Speaker 6: Know people think, oh, it's just a little white spoon
of chili. Yeah, well, after you've had ten or fifteen
of them, it's like eating a bowl, You're full. You know,
it's hard. It's a very difficult competition. These aren't These
aren't Wally World powders. These are bought from very reputable
spice companies. Oh yeah, it's not cheap. I would love
to bring you guys some and have you try it.
Uh in station.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what we will, uh we will take
that an advisement.
Speaker 3: We will make sure we get clear with this with
the f c C, the legal team, the legal team,
and thank you Greg for the phone called good information.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you that that's the man who is
passion about point. Did he have a point?
Speaker 3: No, I just think he was just telling us. It's like, hey,
trust me on these things. He's a hanging up, but
he said, no, beans are a lot, and that's we
weren't surprised by that. Nope, Greg will take you chili
and kick you out. Gonna kick you out, you.
Speaker 2: And your beans. Beans, Thomas, how many times I made
chill in my life?
Speaker 6: Zero?
Speaker 2: Maybe two or three? Okay, Well you use the uh, yeah,
you use the packet. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm not a magician in the in the in the kitchen,
that's fine. I'm a magician other places in the house,
but not not there where.
Speaker 2: Living room.
Speaker 3: You're a living room magician, Yes I am. Okay, they
don't come in. I'm not a home hanging to meil Lets,
let's put it that way.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: We've got I don't know if it's breaking news but
intriguing news or do we need a sounder? No, oh,
because it's not a news item. Okay, we've been intriguing
news coming out of Baltimore. Okay, and we also owe
you offensive line rankings. Lit's do that right now, real quick, okay,
right now. So for those of you that don't know,
every Wednesday on the show, we I have asked Ross
to give us the Pro Football Focus. Now this is
just one group of people, largely dorks that don't have sex,
are evaluating offensive line work.
Speaker 6: You don't know that.
Speaker 2: I feel pretty good. Why can't they be having sex? Why?
Why don't they They have to be doing because what what?
Speaker 3: Because they are staring at numbers and stats and watching
game film. They don't have time to have relations. They
don't have friends, they don't date. No, they don't, No,
they don't they they're in there. They're in their parents.
They're their parents either basements or spare bedrooms.
Speaker 2: These are done by Zultan Boode. My point exactly what
does that even mean? So here we go.
Speaker 3: Every week the Texans have been he's happily married, he's
got seventeen kids.
Speaker 2: He does not. That's those are all lies.
Speaker 3: They don't have Facebook friends, they're on Instagram, sligning into dms,
none of that stuff.
Speaker 2: They're just focused on football.
Speaker 3: Every week so far, the Texans have been number thirty
is Pro Football Focus every week they've been last. I'm
going to predict here in the one minut we have
remaining in the show that they are out of the
thirty second spot. You are correct. Yes, all year in
the preseason they've been thirty second. They're charging up the
rankings folks.
Speaker 2: Two number thirty one. Okay, So, so can I say
that Bengals the worst offensive line? The Bengals the worst
offensive line. Yes, Bengals are now worse. Texans are thirty first. Okay.
Speaker 3: Ersari is struggling, they say as a run blocker, a
negative grade on twenty six percent of run plays, the
worst rate among all roof rookie offensive tackles. Ed Ingram
has been good in the run game, not so much
in the past game. Their best player last week was
Titus Howard, but he did have two holdings, Yes he did.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: So even though they have no friends and then on relations,
I like these people because they're focusing on things while
you and I have relations and have friends. They're lifting
for us together. No, no, we're separate on that. All right, Uh,
final hour of the show. We're gonna play some audio
so weird not just tell you who these people are.
Some people can have fun and relaxing about just say
the good folks over at Pro Football Focus. To leave
it at that here on it, well, you got to
call them out for not having sex and you don't
even know that. The great people at Pro Football Focus,
I mean maybe they're slaying. You don't even believe that,
You just don't. Maybe they call PFF offices the poon House.
Speaker 2: Thank god, that's left real. It's a genuine lad. Last guys,
I'm generally from eight to five.
Speaker 6: We were.
Speaker 2: Eight to five, we studied football after six were slaying. Yeah,
you don't know that. Okay. Some audio from Baltimore and
your phone calls now seven one three two one two
five seven Daddy seven one three two one two five
seven Daddy Mattie Ross with you on the final hour
of the Mount Thomas Show with Ross. Sometimes things just
make you laugh, and Ross did that one time in
fifteen years and it just happened here live on the show.
Oh maybe you said a few other funnier things, but
I just never really struck you. Pro football focus and
Poodhouse really got me going.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: That was a that was a that was a belly
laugh for for sure.
Speaker 3: One nothing Cleveland leads to Troit in the top of
the fourth in Cleveland, and so really they twenty six
thousand people at the game?
Speaker 2: Yessually?
Speaker 10: Huh?
Speaker 3: Yes, they only seat I want to say, Progressive field
only seats about thirty five.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, let's just be you can get thirty in there.
Speaker 3: I guess guarantee, if the Browns were playing at one
o'clock on a local time, they'd be seventy five thousand
people in there. Yes, they're getting a new stadium. By
the way, they're going to the burbs. You hear that
history static. It's a static or something, right, Yeah, you
hearing that, Jonathan. It just recently started happening.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. We'll get it fixed. I'm sure
rit Department and engineering right on it. Oh okay, So
what I want to tell you right now? So yesterday
we found out that Lamar Jackson was going to be
out for Sunday's game.
Speaker 3: There may be a little wiggle room to that. Excuse me,
Ian Rappaport, tell us what you heard.
Speaker 14: We'll start in that same division. Lamar Jackson dealing with
a hamstring injury. My understanding is his status for this
Sunday's game is.
Speaker 2: In doubt now.
Speaker 14: He had some tests on his hamstring. Obviously was not
able to finish the game last week.
Speaker 6: I see it right there say.
Speaker 14: Could miss two or three weeks. I'm not sure where
that comes from. I would say it's more week to
week now for Lamar Jackson. He's going to try to
play this week.
Speaker 2: We'll see if he's.
Speaker 14: Able to go, but certainly a possibility that Cooper Rush
could be the starter for the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 3: Okay, to me, that's accessually getting worse. That to me
sounds like he's not playing. I would agree that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see he's trying to play, But I don't
know why. Why is he in rappaport reporting this that
he try to get ready to go the Ravens putting
this out there to put doubt in the mind of
the text. You know what, maybe I'll say this and
this is media bitterness, but there was some dude, that
guy that a weird last name was the one that
said Sucker. Wasn't his name Sucker. I don't think it
was Mark Suckers whatever. I'm think he was the guy.
Speaker 3: He was the guy that announced it yesterday. Maybe because
report didn't get it first. He's trying to say, well,
I've got a authority.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He literally the tweet says not two to three weeks
like it's a it's basically a straight up refutation.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So I don't know what that is all about,
but that to me, I the headline did not match
the audio, right. Uh? Is this the Ravens trying to
put this out? Basically?
Speaker 3: To me, that's what it feels like, is that they
they want to keep it for gamesmanship purposes. Well, they
also want the Texans to work on offensive plays that
Lamar Jackson would be running.
Speaker 2: Ad extra work to their defensive play. Uh huh.
Speaker 3: I don't know anything, but it just doesn't seem like
it's likely he plays. Okay, so let's let's let's get
britly honest here. If they don't beat Cooper Rush, then
you're never gonna win in Baltimore ever again, because Cooper
Rush look very smart quarterback. Well, no Cooper Rush backed
up Dallas, Okay, I mean.
Speaker 2: You nobody's ever going.
Speaker 10: Man.
Speaker 3: I am so envious of our backup quarterback. I think
Cooper Rush is an adequate backup quarterback. But the drop
off from Lamar Jackson to Cooper Rush is significant. First
of all, he's not doesn't run nearly as much. Then
you've got a situation where he doesn't throw the ball
nearly as far. He doesn't have the elusiveness. He's going
to be a straight drop back passer. Five seven steps
he's gonna throw the football and we're gonna go there,
you know, And if I'm to, if I'm Baltimore, I
want Travis Henry to hold onto the football better than
he has so far this.
Speaker 2: Year and win some football to be on the ground.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say it feels like an under game
coming up, but a lot of I don't know how
much of the Texans are going to score. Texans have
a great defense. Raven's likely going to try to establish
to run a bunch, right, That's what I would do.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Historically, Derrick Henry has given the Texans fits and Baltimore
apparently has got And we'll get the injury report today
at least four or five players that were missing moments
of that Kansas City game last Sunday. Yes, so they're
they're defensively, they're beat up as well. All right, So
there you have it. That's a little bit from Rapaport. Again,
that felt like to me, that was more I want
to sound like I'm breaking his story, but really, somebody
else did the guy with a weird last name.
Speaker 2: Or I want or the Ravens are mad?
Speaker 3: This got put out by this guy, so WI your
son reporter, it was a reputable source.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not saying that.
Speaker 3: Maybe that came from who knows Lamar Jackson's side, agent
side or something like that. And the Ravens are like, Hey,
we're trying to win a ballgame here. We need Houston
thinking that Lamar Jackson could play, So we need to
put this back out to Ian Rappaport that maybe Lamar
is gonna play.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder if somebody whispered something to that beat
reporter that it wasn't supposed to say. And the guys
like that.
Speaker 3: That's what it feels like to me. And you know what,
I hate that we have to even talk about this
and speculate about this, because this is just the way
reporting is in twenty ten. And by the way, I'm
looking at the four U tab on Lamar Jackson, everybody's
getting giving Rappaport credit for this, and that's exactly what
he tried to do. He's trying to get his bosses
and say, yeah, I got this story first, when he
really didn't. I'm trying to find out the guy's name.
It got it from the Baltimore Son. Okay, you keep talking?
Uh sure, Hey, why don't you follow me on Instagram?
At sports RV. I'm two away from twelve hundred, trying
to build up the account. That's really nice. Yes at
sports Harvey Instagram, it's your friend. If you want to
see me smiling like an idiot with with Kevin Durant,
you didn't smell like you smell like you smile like
he was a You're a giddy school kid. You can
see what I'm thinking, like, this is so cool, this
is amazing. Trying to find out like dude's name was, Okay,
you still can't find it. Give me another man, I'm
gonna talk talk to biscuit first biscuit at seven ninety
at one ten high Biscuit.
Speaker 2: Biscuit Brian Whacker, What's what's up? My brothers? You tell us?
Speaker 4: Hey man, hey man.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you say this.
Speaker 7: First of all, if driving the state of Texas is
the qualifier for being mister Texas, then I'm.
Speaker 2: Missed Texas, man.
Speaker 6: I wasn't.
Speaker 7: One year I drove my mom from Portland, Oregon to
move to Houston, and I think it was like forty
eight hours or something like that. And to think about
it is when we got to Texas, me and my
brother in law, we're like oh well, we almost there, man.
From they all pass over to Houston. Man, I think
it's I think it was at least twelve or fifteen hours.
Speaker 2: Man, it was. It was ridiculous, biscuits. I'm going to
tell you something earlier right now.
Speaker 3: I respect you, appreciate you, thank you for always listening,
being a contributed show.
Speaker 2: But there's only one mister Texas, and it's me. It's no,
it's not you. It's anybody but you.
Speaker 7: And A Let me ask you this though, Matt, before
I get to my w I was watching the game
last night. Is my girl my whole girl still? I
think they had Holly Rower on there or whatever? She is?
Her standing with the ESPN on the WNBA games.
Speaker 2: Is it over with Vanessa? Yeah, yeah she's done. I
think they needed her just for the first round of
the playoffs.
Speaker 3: But yeah she's they okay, yeah, but she'll be She'll
be on Space City starting next week with the Rockets games.
Speaker 6: She did.
Speaker 9: She did a good job.
Speaker 6: Man, I can see them, you know, pick he backed up?

Speaker 2: And Biscuit, Biscuit, and then then they started.
Speaker 12: I'm telling you, Matt, that what the coach was saying, man,
because they basically the feveram lost their whole starting five, right,
and they're down eight on the road, and they came
back and pushed the game in overtime.
Speaker 7: Man, it was an entertaining game, man, I'm telling you,
But pull up that clip of the coach trying to
rally the truth is counter remnya of a rudy type
of situation. I know it's not you know you guys

was anything.
Speaker 10: Uh might like it.

Speaker 3: Of took over the spot from me when I left.
Oh okay, I didn't know that. But I do maybe
six or seven games a year.
Speaker 2: It was fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember the craziest that Well, let me tell
you some I have crazy, and I mean crazy to
BNBA stories crazy ones, but a funny one I can
mention on air is uh, we were we were in
Phoenix and the comments beat the Phoenix Mercury crowd been
maybe twelve thirteen thousand people. There was a big crowd.
I mean, we beat them. And Cheryl Miller was the
coach of the Phoenix Mercury at the time.
Speaker 2: And as soon as the.
Speaker 3: Game was over with what do you normally do when
if you're the losing coach, You just go to the
locker room, shake hands.
Speaker 2: She did that, comments go back to the locker room.
She gets on the court and gets the microphone, the
PA mic and says, when the comments come back here,
we're gonna beat them next time. And the crowd lost
their mind.
Speaker 6: What.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I'm looking around and Cheryl swoops and Cynthy cooper
around like what the hell is she do? We just
beat you.
Speaker 3: You would come back and say that she grabbed the bike,
She grabbed the chip, grabbed the PA mic.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 3: Are you yelling at the comments? I have several comments
rings I want to say, have at least two. Where
are they in the safety deposit back? Oh, if they're
a cash America pond. They would not know. I'm not
getting rid of those, no chance. I got my two
Rocket Championship rings too. I'm looking for a third smaller
size ring size thingful wab be bigger? Oh okay for
the ring size? Yeah, I mean hopefull. There's more diamonds
because I got cubics the first time. Not that I'm complaining,
but it feels like you are because you always bring
it up.
Speaker 2: I do bring up the cubics a lot, don't I? Yeah,
all right? One fourteen it is the Matt Thomas Show.
A Ross seven one three two one two five seven
ninety seven one three two one two five seven nine
zero want to tell you about what's happening with Uptown
Appliance Repair one twenty one Matten Ross with you here.
Speaker 3: Sports Talk seven ninety seven one three two one two
five seven nine. If you want to join us seven
one three two one two five seven ninety we're gonna.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about something else besides the pro football grades?
Was there anything else we wanted to get to? I
don't know, match you how's what is? We're not the
first offensive line Bruce Bochie Really okay, I'm glad well
we'll segue into baseball for a second. We're not talking
congratulations to him on his historic career. Is it done
as the manager? I think so? Oh, I don't know.
Do you want a couple gimmes or one? Uh? Let's okay,
let's do one gimme. But you don't think that the
Giants will not kick the tires on him? Maybe one
more time. He's sixty nine years old? Yeah, but what
is that? Sixty nine is a new fifty one right now?
I guess it's a long grind though. In twenty eight
years as a major league manager, Bruce Bochie never won
one hundred games in a season. That doesn't believe it?
Speaker 7: It is?
Speaker 3: Are you hear me? If you get that wrong today,
you prize horse, I'm gonna be really be mad at you. Okay,
and one more because it's fun. Bruce Bochi played high
school baseball with former SNL cast member Darryl Hammond. They
were on the same high school baseball team.
Speaker 2: Believe it? Believe it?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Is that crazy? That's that is? That's the most Okay.
So we're giving you now, separate those by a few
did okay?
Speaker 3: So you've if those better, We've gotten no better, those
better be correct answers today.
Speaker 2: Yeah. By the way, what are we doing on? I
know he's eating spaghetti in there. By the way, you.
Speaker 3: Can't be positive during the show. You can't be being
positive in the hunger. It's a four hour show.
Speaker 2: You gotta just go. Hold on. You were eating Slobby
Joe's yesterday. I understand. Hey, what do we got? We
got three pairs of tickets the Cougar's game. Is that correct? Yes?
We have three?
Speaker 10: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, So today's Wednesday. So if we don't give them
away today, we'll get way tomorrow. We can't get wait
on Friday because the promotions people get mad at us.
So we'll see today or tomorrow for the University Houston
Cougar tickets. Uh, okay. On to baseball. We brought this
up just a little bit here and there in the
last couple of days. How long and this is just
an answer no one has nobody knows except to him Creant.
How long are were we supposed to wait for some
of any shoes to drop?
Speaker 2: When it comes? Is it shoes to drop?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: H on staff changes, whether it be the medical department,
whether it be the pitching coaches, the hitting coaches, the manager,
the general manager. Are we just supposed to just I guess,
wait and see, because I guess the overriding theme was
yesterday nobody. Nobody left that press conference thinking one way
or the other. Like Dana was, like, I am the
general manager and I'm not going anywhere. Joe Aspot as
my guy, Joe A'spot is our guy.
Speaker 2: There was none of that. There was also a lot
of none of them.
Speaker 6: There was.
Speaker 3: There was also a lot of none of our medical
staff is screwed up. We're gonna get this thing fixed.
It was a lot of little excuses.
Speaker 2: Hey, this is an epidemic around baseball. So if you
were looking for definitive we're gonna make changes, you didn't
get it from yesterday's press availability.
Speaker 3: I went back to last year. Astros announced their staff
for twenty twenty five on October twenty fourth of twenty
twenty four, and.
Speaker 2: That was after a wild card, so that's a few days.
Speaker 3: But that would be when they announced Tony paris Chica
being the new third base coach, and Josh Miller coming back,
and then Troy Snicker and Alex he and Trunk coming
back as well. Because I'll tell you this If you're
going to make a change, you're gonna want to do
it in the next few weeks as teams drop out
of the playoffs because you're not gonna.
Speaker 2: Call I mean on my throwing. So but let's say
there's some bench coach, some hitting coach with the Detroit Tigers.
You want to come.
Speaker 3: You're not gonna call him when he's in the middle
of the fourth inning of a baseball game. You're gonna
wait to their seasons over with. So yeah, So I
guess the answer is whirling. I have to wait about
a month.
Speaker 10: I can do that.
Speaker 3: I can wait longer. We want wait till spring TRAINLF.
I'm locked in on Texan season. Matt big game against
the Ravens this weekend.
Speaker 2: Let's go, baby.
Speaker 3: Let me to limit Cooper Rush. If they lose to
Cooper Rush. You have to knowlong, you have to you
have to drop yourself from the being a Texans fan, No, sir,
you should. Part of being a fan is disappointment, especially
in Houston Town.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that's why I'm not a fan. I'm
not disappointed when they lose. Guess what, I'm elated when
they win. When they crush the Titans and send the
Titans fans rushing out of NRG Stadium with their oilers gear.
I saw a lot of cam Ward number one Warren
moonstyled oilers J jerseys, and that hurt. I didn't like
it at all. That's gotta be hold with these people
that were doing that, I mean most people, I don't know,
thirties and forties, most, I mean people who are using
Ward is never gonna wear an older's uniform. They the
Titans have said we're done wearing the gear. They said forever.
I don't what they said forever. They said it for now. Well,
they're they're certainly selling the jerseys. Oh yeah, you know what,
I'm gonna look to see if I can go to
the Titan shop. I'm gonna look up Google. Oh yeah,
you can do it.
Speaker 3: Cam Ward absolutely oilers jersey you can absolutely find I saw.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: Is that the NFL doing that or is that the
Titans in particular? I guess it's all in one of
the same. Yeah, you can buy it fanatics or ranatics.
How much one nine or something? Okay, I'm gonna give
you one more here. I'm gonna put the word C. J.
Stroud orders jersey in there. They wouldn't do that to us,
would they. Oh, they're on sale now. They got seat
pricing carts. That means they're on sale and Nike doesn't
want them posting how much they're on sale.
Speaker 6: Force.

promise on yeah fresh right.
Speaker 3: I don't care that craft. Yeah, the powder's fine too.
It's not great, but it's not preferred. But I'm not
you know, it's a much cheaper than it gets the
job done. You have somebody hire somebody from the mall
of Martin to do frust.
Speaker 13: Grated interception to uh hidary to an incompletion by me
a bad ball.
Speaker 7: And then past the fifty we just not continue with
the drive.
Speaker 2: So I mean we're keeping a book right now, we
ask yeah, just.
Speaker 3: The drop of that part. Yeah, and we meant to
get a better, cleaner version of that. Yeah, it sounds
like you don't say that, don't. We'll find it somewhere else.
Matter of fact, I got news for Cam. We we're
gonna be saying a lot more often than just one week.
What twenty guy not really poor? He's you're getting paid
one dash one. He's not poor, that's true. He's got
a decent running back. Pollard's good. Pollard's good. I don't
think their offensive line is good. No pass catcher, I
don't even I watched the whole game. Who's their best
pass catcher right now. I mean deannre Hoppins go back
to tomorrow and be just fine. But he ain't there
one I can't. Calvin Ridley has been dropping everything. Yeah
oh yeah, Like I was, like, he's been making us
a big catch as a play back play guy. That
would be terrible. Oh, chig Okonkquo is good. He's a
good backup tight end option fantasy. Well, they suck Amy
Crunk's trunk too. Gunner Hill made a big catch over
the weekend. Ye, But I wouldn't be balking about a
text of receivers after what could happened in the Colts
Rams game. Why the seventy of the big cat touchdown,
catch the ball eighty Mitchell whatever, he's a Georgia guy. See,
that's exactly what I thought you would do. Matthew Golden,
long horn. You make catches, your longhorn, you drop ball
out of the end zone. You're wherever you transferred from.
Speaker 2: You know you're you're unhappy, money grubbing and uh not
faithful to the organization. You're a longhorn WHOA not true.
We just got two examples, Adie Mitchell and Matthew Golden.
I'm sure ad Mitchell is getting paid fine at Georgia.
He wanted opportunities, he wanted easier classes. One thirty on

the business.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 3: I did news in like Tyler and Lufkin. I'm like,

people who make it big are going to be professors.
Speaker 2: It's got a point. I'm just saying. Is Jim Nantz
teaching a class at U of h Nope? Well Matthew
McCaughey teach in the class at uten though. Yeah, but

Dallas and went into this club and I saw my
ta there.
Speaker 3: I was like, that was kind of cool. She was
dancing in a cage. Oh yeah, I remember you telling

pictures of you in a cage. He could have done that,
there's nothing wrong with that, but we didn't have phone
cameras back. All right, here's your homework. A friend of
our show, Joan, was like, hey, y'all, keep forgeting about
Derek Henwy. We have not forgot about it. We've mentioned
Derrick Henry several times.
Speaker 2: I think we did. He runs all over them.
Speaker 3: So tomorrow on the show, we're going to add force
spots to the Texans Ring of Honor, all right at
Energy Stadium. Okay, sure, we're going to add four spots

Texans linebackers say when Derek Henry's coming down the line.
Speaker 15: Imagine vanderber He's hardy after hurry at midfield, as at
the Tory at the rot Row gotch No, I mean
