Oh yeah, y'all, it's almost time for the red river, shoot out in less than an hour. I'm excited. And then also we got a special promo real quick, 50% off annual memberships, it's flash sale, use promo code Hookum right now, and you can get access to the best recruiting Intel team reports, all the stuff we go more in depth on on the board. So super excited. All right, y'all, not a ton of structured and we're just kind of hanging out until the game starts. It's going to be exciting, but kind of first things first, I've been able to watch a lot of football the day actually, but I haven't been paying attention to Alabama, South Carolina. You know, once a day, besides that little pukito, I've caught a little bit of South Carolina's last drive last 10 minutes, and I've come up with the best tweet of the day. This is Nick Saban's defense no more. And now I'm starting to think, you know, Caitlyn DeBore winning at every place he's gone, high scoring at every place he's gone. When did he build a defense in any of these places? Yeah, you know, Barb Mohan had made up for a lot of stuff in that DB in that secondary for Washington last year, who's actually losing losing to a traditional other big 10 traditional team Iowa. We say when they walk in through that door, fellas, this might be the new Bama. And I think people in in Tuscaloosa are going to be very, very disappointed. Yeah. I was gonna say, didn't he lose his long time? Oh, see, who's been with him everywhere and maybe somewhere else? Yeah. The OC part I wasn't worried about though. I think the board can carry that over. It was the defense and look, Alabama left him guys. They're going to be the superstar all Americans. They are four and five stars on their trust me. We cover recruiting. I promise you, if the secondary is suspect, it's because Saban was so hands on, right? Nurse and DBs and safeties, like it was so hands on. You can, some of that will carry over. Remember Bill Parcells, coaching the Cowboys and they went right to Wade Phillips? Some of that discipline carries over for about one year. I was going to say it starts to fade. It's like Lincoln's office. You got a perfect storm that first two months. Yeah. Because you've got some really disciplined kids and then you're a new guy, so they're a little bit more relaxed, but they still have that installation of discipline in them. Slowly they get out of the season. The more this will really be Caitlin's team, we're about to, it's exposure Saturday. Not for us. Not for Texas. The line's going up. So the sharks you make is so like, not today for Texas, not today. Also everyone's talking about upsets today. And I feel like when everyone starts talking about a ton of upsets, they're less likely where we're like, oh, it's going to be a boring week in a football like last weekend. It was the most exciting. Yeah. That's a good point. I feel like if you're on the lookout for upsets, they don't, they don't occur as much. But that's what I was re-watching Georgia Alabama because I have to get ready for Georgia. And that's what I was thinking with Malekai Moore. I'm like, he's so used to that discipline of saving. He was like shocked, you know, that Vanderbilt could do that because he knew difference wise where he was at. Did Bama throw the interception? Yeah. He threw a deep breath through across that dude. Okay. Will Rose, has been run probably over as fast as it's. So somebody needs to text our boy, Eric, and say, eh, he nailed Vernon Broughton. Did you know Vernon Broughton is the highest graded defensive tackle in college for weeks? I know I saw that. Yeah. He nailed Vernon Broughton. But that Jalen Millrow one. Yeah. Yeah, respect, it's like Travis Hunter Ashton, Jenny, and maybe Quinn Ewers in New York. Heisman is going to be an interesting one this year. It's kind of an open season because I don't know if they're going to want to give it to a non-power five guy and Jenny, even though his stats are so crazy, it's like the games. I mean, the Oregon game he'll be able to hang his hat on. And then Hunter, it just depends if they maintain, like they're four and one right now, but. Right. If they go six and six, he'll be there. Yeah. He's going to have to have over the top ridiculous stats. That's just the way. Very standard space right now. That's the great. He's on Barry Sanders pace, which is the single greatest college football season I've ever seen. And so he's on that pace. Good point. Good point, Bob. Yeah, I don't. I have the elite. I was talking in the group chat to the other creators. I was like, I don't know if I can give it to a G5 guy and I've, but the past two weeks, I've been watching his highlights and I was like, Oh, okay, if he gets this close or breaks Barry Sanders stuff, I bet wins it. And that's only if Quinn Ewers doesn't snag it, if that's only if one of the top five teams in the country, one of their guys doesn't, because a lot of times it's, it's that guy. That's only if that doesn't happen. Look, Colorado could go six and six. Travis Hunter is going to be in New York because he's the best player in college football. He should. I mean, he should. There's no doubt. If you're playing both ways, I mean, if we're talking literally who's the most valuable to their team, it's a guy that's playing corner and wide receiver. I think South Carolina fumble baby quarterback, come on, dude, there's going to be a fall backwards, the trick is seeing can Quinn get back into it. Also counterpoint. I know this is a Texas channel. So we'll see how popular this take is. Can you be the most valuable player when you go out and the other quarterback comes in and you guys play great by definition? Are you the most valuable? Yeah. Yeah. That's my only point is like if we're looking at it in the true sense of like who's doing the most, you know, Quinn got to go out and arch came in. So it's like there wasn't a huge impact there. Now into the season where playing SEC Quinn's difference is going to show his singularity is going to show. But have you all seen the TikToks of Janti looking like Michael Myers standing in the back field? Yeah. Yeah. I'll have to watch. He doesn't squat or anything before the ball. So he just stands there like he's a serial killer. And then he just goes off and you guys need to go look it up. It's absolutely. Maybe for the first time the other night. Yeah. You got to watch it because they do these like Michael Myers edits of his runs and they're absolutely hilarious. Rops to him for not transfer now though. Absolutely. Did you see that interview this week James? Yeah. He's offered a bunch of stuff and he says, man, how am I going to make an impact in life if I keep bouncing around everywhere? That's a kid with good parents, good structure, good focus. Yeah. Yeah. I'll deal with out. Yeah. He's got all the potatoes. He can ever. Man, right? You can eat potatoes. Yeah. Complex carbs. Sweet potatoes. They are. They are. And I'm glad to get them tougher back. That's a and also Boise State's one of those G5s that are like it's a cool G5. Yeah. It's a respectable G5. You know, it's not like some like Boise State's about his talking with him on the map. Yeah. He did. Yeah. Coach, what do you think about your boys at UNLV? When are they getting posted? They're going to dominate. You see it, right? Florida or Florida State? Dude. Where are they headed? Oh, man. Oh, no, not all that. They got to get posted. You put him on the spot, man. I know. They're going to have to do a coaching transplant, but man, that's, uh, that's awesome, dude. They're going to be able to move it up. You might want me to get a job, huh? Yeah. Y'all see, I stay. I stayed up and watched Arizona State and, um, Utah last night and I came up with two quick points. Cam rising needs to retire. Yeah. Rising is, look, Bobby, I like the kid. I got to know him and his dad pretty well during their recruitment at Texas and I even went out to Newport Beach to watch him play football in 2017. Like, I, he's got, he needs to retire and cam, skate a boat, bowling ball, and knives. And I'll do that back. We're going to pop up on all American boards because the dude is just, hey, give Kenny Dilly Ham and those guys a ton of credit. My man coach Williams knows one of our boys, Brian Carrington's over there doing this thing in, in tip. And we absolutely love it. Hey, give Arizona State some credit through five and one, they'll be ranked on a Sunday about one o'clock. Do they still have any former Texas guys? Yeah. They get players. It's maybe an offer, right? Yeah. 40 acres landlord. And they got, they said out Jake Smith too. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right. He's actually playing. Yeah. Yeah. Who'd you say, James? Prince to Bora. There with D linemen. Oh, yeah. I think out of snack last night, actually, Clayton Smith, former top Texas target out of Texas high, went to Oklahoma, didn't work out. He's, he's starting there too as well. I'm going to say Brian Carrington, he did a good job kind of doing the pipeline. He taught, he, once he went to Tempe, he's like, okay, and this is something, he's probably going to be pissed at saying it. He has a new rule. You put any tech, each Texas kids you have, you put them on your roster, no matter where you're coaching. Yeah. That's his new rule of life. Yeah. I sold him on this like five years ago. Yeah. He is a strong, strong proponent of, we got to have some East Texas dudes when they went out to USC, you remember all the dudes they carried from East Texas at the USC? Wherever Carrington's at, he's going to try to carry some of these East Texas dudes with him. That's because he's good at his job. Yeah. And Justin doesn't have any bias towards East Texas guys. Yeah. No, he's strong. Yeah. He's from Midland, actually. You shouldn't. That's right. Which is basically New Mexico. All right. All right. Help. First time going to Austin, Texas, going to the Georgia versus Texas game. Any good tailgates. Our tailgate. All right. Yeah. That one. So inside Texas having a tailgate. I do not know where. So I'm not very helpful to you, but I know we are having a tailgate. If you want, I don't know if you're on Twitter or anything, but DM me on Twitter. I can get those details for you exactly where it'll be. But. Inside Texas dot com, the best community in the business. Hey, this is the absolute best time to sign up and granted, I say that every single day, but I mean it every single day. It gets truer every single day, too. Every time. Yeah. It's about troops. Brands on brands. Yeah. So yeah, just set us up or sign up, man. And you can find out wherever we're, where we're located. Tailgate details. Yeah. Some kind of stories, stuff like that. If you wouldn't mind, update us a little bit on some scores that we may be missing. Some games that we may need to be knowing about that because we're kind of into that. We're, we're, we're, we're into you guys today. So if you wouldn't, it wouldn't, it wouldn't hurt to kind of help us out a little bit on some of these updates. Cause daddy can't watch TV for the college football game. So I need some help and I don't want to just stick on my phone because I love my guys. Yeah. I'm going to say Justin's TV is in the other room. So this is his way of being able to be able to. I got the 85 inch right here and I'm trying to angle this bastard. I'm going to see it just right here. I got the door open. Do you guys see Michigan game? Half my face. Direct TV streams got two windows open over here. Yeah. Yeah. Did they? Yeah. I figured they'll still buy on that one. Thank you. Right, James. It's not a good one. Jim Miller more. That'd be mine. Yeah. I'm surprised they have not established the run much. COTA. COTA. I don't know. What is that? Change. Is that something in Austin? Looking for an ideal place to start or scale your business?

Oh, oh, oh, oh. You got ACL. Dude, next weekend is going to be absurd. I wouldn't even drive next weekend in Austin. Nope. No, dude. You were snitching. That's going to be crazy, dude. It's crazy on a regular day. Yeah. Imagine what it's going to look like next Saturday. It's going to be an F1 in Austin. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good luck, man. In Austin and, like, at a maximum capacity, you're going to be impressed. You're going to see what the city has to offer, but sheesh, man, next weekend is going to be absolutely crazy. Yeah. I was out last night, and even right now, it's bad with ACL, and look, just going down Cesar Chavez. I was going to meet some of my friends at a hotel, and then we sat there like half a mile, it took like 20 minutes. So it's going to be probably even worse next week. I couldn't place it. Georgia. Oh. Oh, God. Oh, damn. You're not having any kids? Oh, damn. Dude. Damn. Robby's haven't done anything. Get yourself. Bammers. RBS haven't done anything other than with on blocks. Hey, awesome. I'm having a big deal. Keep doing a revolving door at Tellback between, I believe it's Jan Miller and Justice Haynes, and both, both kind of, both of them burst a little bit. But I think they're both the top of backs that need like bolt carries maybe, or like consistent drive after drive kind of deals building up. Whatever it is, it's not really working. I know my boy, Jamari, Miller's, he's not frustrated. He's an ultimate team guy, but there's definitely that dynamic is a little. What year? What year is he in? He's a junior. All right. We'll tell him, we'll take him next year. So just let him know. Yeah. Yeah. So I'll tell you, I'll tell you that conversation. So just tell him, we're taking running backs right now. Right. Do you guys think Bama will fall next week at Tennessee then? Yeah. Tennessee's offense has been kind of whatever, like a lot more hype. Tennessee just gets up for Bama and granted everybody. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But Tennessee, it's a big deal there. And so that's a good question, James. Who? He's a motorcycle's Justin. Oh buddy. Oh buddy, buddy. Just be safe. Be careful. My uncle has like five of them. Just be safe, man. We love you, Quentin. We want you, we want you here safe, man. Yeah. But also do cool stuff. There's a, there's a, you got to ride the middle of that right down the middle. You got to be awesome still though. I want a shut out and it's definitely a realm of possibilities. There you go. Oh, I thought you said shout out. You can have it. People have been pretty respectful of Bama having no offense. Like all these like score predictions are like, so do this on this on the 17th. And it's like, I don't know. We'll see, man. Yeah. Wait, is he talking about the OU game today? Um, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you'd have to. You're not going to shut out Georgia. Yeah. I mean, I feel like it'll probably somewhat mimic the offense of Michigan a couple weeks back. Yeah. I mean, I mean, sure, I offensive score, buddy, if it does, that's, that's good. Because that set did not have a good first half in that game when they walked a couple of, we had a couple of guys there when they, those Michigan coaches walked out for the second half. Like, Sean Moore looked like he was coming to a funeral. Good. Whenever the little boo see you and like you just saw us in the locker room staring their team down, it was already, it was already over before the game though, right? Well, no, that was halftime. Wouldn't it? Yeah. I couldn't remember. Either way. Yeah. It looked like they were already then married. But I don't know. I mean, it's just not the OU of yours past. It's like they've broken 30 twice this year, you know, it's like, I mean, they're offensive statistics. Most of them. A shutout is doable. Yeah. I just think two years ago was an anomaly. No matter, you know, five, when Texas was so much better on paper, so much better on the field, they still scored a couple of touchdowns. Yeah. And this game, this is just something about this game and getting it up. And I think Michael Hawkins might be good. Yeah. Hawkins will give him a new new. Hawkins is a real quarterback. When we played him 49, no, they didn't have a quarter. It was a tight end. I wouldn't say he's a real shootback. What was that kid's name? He was the pit transfer. That game was depressing two years ago. No, no, no. It was double, right? Yeah. Yeah. Davis Bevel was thrust into action. Yeah. That was a tough one for him. That game was over in the first half. I was at that game live sitting with a fanatic perspective, and I was like, man, this game normally makes me sick to my stomach, just to be able to sit back and just relax and enjoy every play. That was such a beautiful experience. And then last year, you got back to being anxious on every single snap. Well, dude, well, the year before that, I was at the New York. I was at the SARC versus Lincoln, year one, and that was the most soul-crushing game I ever been a part of. I remember that that's good of my weekend, dude. It took me to, like, Tuesday to get back from mentally, from whatever Lincoln Ryder came back. That game was absolutely insane. General Booty was on that. I was thinking about that, but I think he was the third or fourth. I didn't think he got it. They didn't get in. Hey, well, you all in on row put up a better fight than that 49-0. Maybe they should have played the row, though. They're looking all right. I mean, I like their coaching at you all in one row. Are they three in one or three in two? I know they'd be James Madison and like-- Yeah, I know our analytics were telling us you all on row as one of the worst teams in the country, but they're rather just not too shabby. They play within themselves. Yeah. They know what they are. You know what they are. They know exactly what they can do and what they can't do, and in sports, that's half of it. Doing what you can do and knowing what you cannot do. Yeah. All right. We got something from us. Ian Ratliff was announced as the starter on the Cotton Bowl video board. Michael Kern is not listed on the most recent injury or before. So Kern will play. Yeah. We-- I think last night, I can't remember if Kern was on the-- was on that injury report from last night, but we had heard that he was OK. Yeah. And Derek Williams is good to go. Yeah. We saw his tweet earlier. We were getting a good tweet this morning. Yeah. He woke up, chose violence. Yeah. And he does the little-- the little raptor emoji with it. Yeah. Little arms. Yeah. He's got a hell of a wingspan for little arms. I don't know. Has Eric dropped a pregame nugget yet? Yeah. It's on the board. It's at Texas.com. He chopped it like three or four hours ago. Mm-hmm. I'd run through a wall for the ULM coach. Honestly, whenever I was breaking them down, I was really impressed with them. And like Justin said, they know who they are. They're like, we're going to run the ball. We can't pass. It's not-- that would be insane. But they just run the ball. They have a varied run game. They're a lot of fun. And the solution is not to punt. That was what was driving me nuts last year with Bert Auburn. They're like, Bert Auburn's breaking field goal records. I'm like, that's because we can't score on the red zone. This is not a good thing. And so I've loved not seeing-- I love Bert. Don't get me wrong. But I've loved not seeing our kicker as often. And our winner. I really agree. That was awesome. I totally agree with that this year anyway. Yeah. What's the-- oh, I think they're at. Break. Who else is playing right now? Clemson's smoking wake forest. Yeah, right? Nobody else like-- he's exciting to watch. You had Clemson-- you can just mention Clemson, but Washington. And Iowa was playing, or if that's a smooth spin. I mean, it's so weird, dude. You said 11 AM kick this year. They needed it right now. Georgia taking North Carolina's in the good one. That's a good matchup, but yeah. Yeah. I didn't want Utah, Arizona State. I got him my old man, though. Because they rushed the field. I can't-- They rushed the field. I can't stand it. It's driving me nuts, dude. They're doing it for any excuse now. OK, maybe I'm the outlier. I don't care either way. No, you're the college. They're half drunk. Rush the field, I get-- I mean, if you're a power program, I can see it kind of looking silly. But for most other programs, what else are you going to do on a Saturday evening? Saturday night. Let's rush the field. Let's carry the goal. As opposed to the bar we're going to. That's a story. That's a core memory, guys. But you know, sooner or later-- Let's have much of the field. We're going to get a linebacker that punches a kid straight in the face. Oh, we saw the question. You're not going to get one, Gary. You see a guy push the Arkansas kid and girl. I'm going to do the Jermaine Burton punch. Punch that lady a couple of years back. Look at him fall. Punch that A&M kid. Oh, yeah. That's really the game. The game's run started all that. I become like old guy. Become old guy with field rushing. You have to be Vandy versus Bama. That's the only one I've been cooler. Why? I was at Baylor during '21. So that team went 12 and 2. But when they beat Texas, rush the field. That was the 5 and 7 Texas. So I was there. And I am very on your side where I'm like, come on. It's just embarrassing to be like, when Baylor was like 7 and 2 and OU 7 and 2, and we beat OU and we're rushing the field, you know? I mean, that year had like four field rushes. And then they won the sugar bowl. So it's like, eh, eh. I get it with those guys, though, James. I totally do. Listen, I was at the game in 2013, which was essentially the de de facto Big 12 championship between Texas and Baylor. The worst weather game I've ever experienced. I was there. I was like 12 years old. Yeah, I mean, unbelievably bad weather. And when they rush the field, buddy, it was one of those turn-- don't turn your back to the stands. Yeah. Because they-- but I thought, you know what? This is a program that's earned this. Oh, sure. They haven't rushed the field since probably 1947. Like, let them get out there. Let them go. My Singletary's team was good. Who's that? My Singletary's team was good at Baylor. I'll give you a grant tab. I'll give you a grant tab. [INTERPOSING VOICES] But yeah, no, because that was Baylor's first Big 12 title. So that was-- That was-- That's right. It's a case before-- the finding case before it couldn't quite win the Big 12, there you go. And that game was actually close until the fourth quarter. McCoy threw this goofy off platform touchdown to Malcolm Brown that somehow made it. And it was like, all right, Texas is within a score here. But then Baylor just pulled away. And I think they had a pick six late, maybe. Or they definitely had a pick late. Right. Baylor got the last laugh. They're two-year-old men in the Big 12 right now. But I didn't blame those. I can totally understand that. Well, we'll see. Is Arnold at another elite 11, can't you?

Yeah, that was the first time I met LC. But yeah, he was doing some goofy stuff to get people to come interview with us. He was jumping out at people. Coming up was interesting interview questions and whatnot. But it was cool. We got some solid interviews. I think what we're going to put another one up, we asked people who they hate more OU, right, and then. So we'll put another one up. Nice. LC's a fun dude. That he is. He gives me some hugs. I think he was late to pick up his wife. He was helping me out. He's getting a little late, so we could get a couple extra interviews. But he's at ACL today, probably living it up. Yeah. Yeah, he's at ACL. I guess they go back to Austin every now and then again. I don't know who's playing right now. I'm so out of the loop, dude. I used to be in Austin and all that stuff, dude. Now I'm like, when did you take the lead on UNC? So the fighting King Haines. Yeah. I think this one might get them bo-eligible. Yeah, they'll play five. They win this one, I believe. Yeah. What did you say, James? Oh, I was asking, when did you move out of Austin? After college. So I went back to-- up by Dallas, probably in 2017? Yeah. So I've been back for a minute. Yeah, but I mean, how about Georgia Tech? It really always works out the way. We think we can predict the season. And Georgia Tech's win total, I think, was 4 and 1/2. They're already going to have it done. And then Arizona State and BYU are 1 and 2 in the big 12. And they both had 3 and 1/2 win totals before the season. I don't watch any big 12. And I need to-- Yeah, I mean, I was watching last night at a bar and I kind of had the same sentiment as Justin. It was like, I would tune in because Utah was about possession behind for the last quarter. And it was just like, it's kind of frustrating to watch, like, because rising's not where he used to be. Just solely off the bottom. Oh, man, it's over. And he got his foot ran into on this. I don't know if you saw that. He got his foot ran into on the second snap. So it's just been bad luck for him. Like, I feel bad for the guy. Good team. What year is he on now? Six. Seven. Seven. He's the same as Casey. Yeah. Yeah. Remember, they came in the same class that takes us together. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, Casey Thompson's playing today, guys. In Red River, there's your trivia in the comments. Yeah, we just announced the starting wide receivers for OU. It's Reagan's Thompson Hester. So Reagan's 10/4 guy, Thompson's 10/2 guy. Hester 6/4 guy. See what I did there? It's height versus-- So they will have two speedsters, at least. So what's the trick, right? Short screen and let's turn it into a track meet on the outside where we can. And then, but I think they're going to go heavy run, boys. I think they're going to have to try to Mississippi State us, or Georgia versus Kentucky. I'm not going to consistently move the ball. They're going to have to be some kind of gimmicky run game, 12 personnel. They're not going to be able to play us heads up. What do you guys think? Right. I think they're going to try to pick and take their shots, though. I really feel like they may feel like, hey, you know what? We got to lose. That's exactly what it is. I'm going one-on-one, right? Because Texas trusts their guys on the island so much. You know what? Let's see. Let's test them out. Because nobody's tested them, right? It's at Mississippi State. So they think we're going to run this quarterback a ton, a lot of, you know, read after stuff. Let's just take a shot down, and see what happens. What do they have to lose? They have nothing to lose. They have nothing to lose. Yeah, they have nothing to lose. The problem is when that big shot doesn't land, that's three and out, you know? Three and out quick, but hey. But what's the end? But what's the end? But think about it, Connor. With Venables, I think he feels OK with my defense. I've got a great defense. We can do it. We've got some stuff ready for them. Like, I think they justify taking those shots, because they think, you know what? We can play great defense. We can do this. And to a tee, they are pretty good defensive team. They're incredibly forcing turnovers. Just don't-- the thing-- it's not just that Texas is better on paper this year. It's the way last year ended. And I'm telling you, there is a serious carry over in that locker room from the way this game ended last year. Well, and how much they poked the bear. It was stuff like those shirts. And Billy Bowman was really active on Twitter this offseason, talking a lot about it. And I mean, it's a lot of that. And like, there was Michael Taft boats this week. He's talking about it. He's the leader of the secondary back there. Like, it's not something they're going to forget. And they know Oklahoma's a little bruised and battered. Like, kind of what Homer said, I think. You might see him do a little rope-a-dope. Like, shout out to my Kentucky Wildcats, try and do what Kentucky did to Ole Miss and Georgia. Like, keep away, throw in quarterback runs. And you can still take your shots, right? Like, you just run, run, run. And then like four or five times a game, see if Brendan Thompson will catch it, you know? It's like, you know, like, that's really what you can do. Like, well, no, I'm just being, I'm not even being mean. Like, he's not going to, actually, I am being mean. He says a 50% catch rate. But like, but that's really what you have to do, right? Like legitimately, condense the formations, run it, run it, run it. And then let everybody fall asleep. You saw our corners fell asleep a couple times first, Mississippi State. And then you just let Reagan's or Brendan run past them. And if they can catch it, then it'll score, type of thing. So that's tricky. Which offense is better this offense are the one in the 49-0 game? It's better, it won't be. Yeah, this is better. It's better simply because it has a quarterback. You want to see that run? Davis, that will work. Did they have a pretty good run game, though? Well, who did they have it back? I can't remember that year. The Eric Drake, Eric-- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who wasn't bad. And then, therefore, they would have had to have, like, one NFL tackle or something, because he always got it. The O-1 was better two years ago. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Yeah, so I think Tyler and Hayton was there, and that's a personal state. Maybe Creed Hump, I don't know if Creed was still there, but they had-- yeah, the O-1 was better. But it's a good question. They had, like, they had Jaleel Faruk healthy. They had some receivers healthy. I don't know, it's a good question. The only reason why I give it to this offense, even though I don't know if I statistically can support that, but it's-- because this is a really bad OU offense. Well, I think just because they have a quarterback, I have to give them the edge. But it's honestly a more intriguing question than it is on the surface, because it's kind of sketchy. I was going to say, Quentin's talking about this is your day's fifth red river. This is Jake Major's 12th, so today's got another half decade because-- Casey Thompson's, is this-- this is Casey Thompson's 21st. So he can legally not drink. He can legally do stuff like that, and he can legally play his game. Yeah, yeah, it's going to be awesome. Any concern with Quinn throwing easy pick off a scripted play on the first drive like he did last season? I mean, there's always a concern. Yeah, right. Listen, Vinnables is going to know-- that that was the key to last year's game, I think, was how dialed in Vinnables was on this offense. How much they knew-- how many questions did we get? Did they know the signals? Did they know the signals? I don't-- they knew the play was coming. I'll tell you that much. It's not because they still signals. It's because they are psychic. I mean, after watching the Connor Stallion's doc coming around, I think everybody's going to know that. Every-- everyone's doing it to a certain degree. It's just he can't be so over the top. But Vinnables, man, he was able to go right through that controversy. No one brought him up enough and-- Everybody was all on Michigan from over-- Dude, I don't know any of the secret spy version of College Football where they're all trading information and stuff Coach might. They do. They do. They do. The black market of College Football where you're like-- Yeah, I do. You got a bloody person. Somebody else's staff, hey, can I get any information? I think-- I know Charlie and I've talked about this before, and I don't know if I've ever said it on the YouTube show, but we've talked about it at Inside Texas. You really got to come see us. It really is the best time. These guys-- like, if you ever see a big upset on a Saturday, number four, Clemson goes down to unranked 1 in 5 Syracuse. When you see that 50/50 chance, there was some signal trading. They were able to get the chance. Well, we used to know that actual game happened. Kelly Bryant lost his job because of that game. So don't be surprised if Dino Babers knew what was coming in the second half of that custom game. Are you fine? Are you hinting at Charlie Strong's-- the fight in Charlie Strong's, the 1 in 14, the beat maker's playoff team? Did they maybe know a little something? No, we would never do something like that. We're good guys. Yeah, sure. Everybody else does that sheet nonsense. We're a team of more or two more guys. Texas doesn't need an edge, guys. We don't need an edge. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. We just play straight up ball. We don't need none of that. Hey, I still can't play NCAA 25 against my brother. I'm looking over at his play sheet, and I see the formation. So I'm like, all right, if there's two wide receivers on the side, he's running the ball. I remember he's been watching mine play right now. Like, mine's got a game on right now. NCAA 25. Do you play your gun in that? Yeah, I play him. You cheat a little bit, or no? I don't cheat because he beats me. I haven't beat him. Why do you need to cheat guys? I went 10, 15 years of PS2, PS3, NCAA. I'm not joking with that, losing. Those early mid '90s Texas teams, late 2000s Texas teams, I would run with those guys. I would run the town. I am so-- and I've lost it. I went 10 years, 15 years without playing the game. I thought, man, I'll just jump back in and beat you. It's like it was. And he beat me the first time, 62 to nothing. He beat me the next time, 77 to nothing. And it's like, OK, OK. The 100 game was with Jaden's help. Anyways, we play each other, we play each other. You put a 100 on you, dude. Not me. He put 66 on his neighbor, Jaden, the fifth one. And Jaden tossed the stick, so I just picked him up. Look at what John said. Yeah, Casey Thompson, the double aging, actually. He worked away from Mary Warren. Hopefully it's changed. I always do wonder whenever they change. Whenever they take a player, like a player does transfer, especially a valuable player, like a quarterback, and they have to play their own team, that seems like a very valuable information if I'm going to put the coordinator. Oh, it is. Can you ever see a single player, and what they're good at, but they're bad at it. I need to know everything. You know what's crazy, too? There are college coaches that used to-- the names didn't-- at first didn't populate, but you could do something online in the mid-2000s where you could get the names to popular whatever. If they had a schedule, they would literally go through, put in the schedule they had for that season, say they were coaching at the University of Houston. They would put in the entire schedule, and they would play each one, and then they would go through each one like a simulation. Like, just anything for prep. People, coaches used to actually do that. For real? Yeah, and I saw them doing it. It was fun because you get a little sense. It's not a big takeaway. It's just like one other little thing you can try to try to find any sort of advantage. Like, oh, that third corner, you get him beat here, or, oh, you know, stuff like that. They don't, obviously, they don't do that now. There's too much stuff going on. Back then, those guys that were young, coaches, they were wanting to play video games just like us. They were like, you know what? Let's go ahead and swim the season and see what we need to do. Jo need to join live. I wish Jo's working hard right now. He can get all the information he can get. 'Cause Jo's down there watching the punters. And you know why? 'Cause Jo loves punters. Yeah. He was a worker punter. He was a punter, that's right. Once a punter, always a punter. True. Where did Jo play high school? You down in Houston? St. Thomas, it's a private school in North Houston. Noise, noise. All right, y'all, we need to hit our last sponsor of the day, Laura Baker. I wanna tell you about Laura Baker. If you're looking for a new home in the 512, or even at this point, let's face it, 737 area code, there's only one number to call. That's Laura Baker at 512-784-0505. As a member of the elite Andy Allen team with Keller Williams, Laura has helped long horns find the home of their dreams in central Texas. Just ask our resident sex symbol, Ian Boyd, who moved all the way from Michigan to Texas with Laura's help. Laura can help you find what you're looking for in the 512, the 737, or even parts of the 254 and the 210. Just, you know, give her a call at 512-784-0505. Her email is in the description, as well as the rest of her contact details. She's a friend, give her a call. - I will laugh when he says sex symbol, Ian Boyd. (laughing) - Yeah, I'm excited, Ian's back in town, man. - I am too, man. We used to only see him once a year, and that was not near enough. - Yeah, this is a good question, especially when our accusations towards Brent Vinnables. How much will home of comms affect the Texas offense? So we still signal everything. So as far as like, sign stealing, they're still gonna be able to steal the signs. But the interesting part is, it's gonna be like any other game, I would assume. Do you think we huddle for this game? I mean, we did it a little bit last year. - Yeah, maybe, I mean, for spurts, I mean, it's all gonna be dictated on drive to drive, I think. - Yeah, I mean, there's only-- - You can get them in a formation that they're not comfortable with, or if SARC finds a mismatch, they'll run quick. - Yeah, buddy. - Yeah, but also too, it's like if they are signs stealing, there's like some edges you can get from a sign, like if they're sign stealing, just go in motion, or a tempo. And then you can get them too into more simple stuff. And it's like, if you know they're gonna steal, and you gotta almost reverse steal. It's like, when they steal our sign, what would they do? And they would have to simplify in tempo, because if we did it fast, so it's almost like you could exploit the exploit if you were able, like-- - It's a good point. - You know, there's like chess upon the chess there, that some GA is working frantically on. - Yeah, they got some, I'm pretty sure they got calls though. They go tempo, we're making one or two checks. This is defense, we're playing, we ain't coming out of it. - Right. - This is what we're playing. - That's what I would use tempo for, when you find them in the defense, where you've got an obvious mismatch, and where they wanna get out of it and make them force the timeout. - Yeah. - We huddled against Michigan. - Well, yeah, that was a better defense. - Yeah, that's still left over there, you know? - That was a better defense defense. - They do have to lift over there. - Gotta be careful over there. - Stallion's one of the things he actually said, I just listened to him on a podcast, 'cause he's went to the Michigan, Texas. - The bussin' with the boys one? - Yeah, yeah, he said, yeah, he was like, oh, Texas is still all a signal. But like, yeah, a lot of the fans sometimes don't realize, it's like, they're changing who's bop, 'cause you know, those guys, half of them are just doing nonsense. - Right. - Just like-- - I'll give you a nugget. On Sundays, teams go in and watch the TV copy, and find out who the signal really is, because they always give away and look at the coach. What do you think? Even though you got a hit on, you look, right? And so I watched the TV copy, plenty of times, I actually see who's singing on what. - Yeah. - So, hey, it happens. - Or the job. - Well, it's like, you can tell who's doing nonsense, and like, who's really motivated and really getting it in. Like, you can tell when there's four guys there, and they're different color polos, like, who's actually sending them-- - My dream was to be one of those guys, 'cause I remember watching the Baylor teams, I just felt like Kennel Brawls, all he did, was had the fingertip, and he'd just be like-- - Dude, I remember watching-- - Always Gordon trailer used to do that for Texas, and he wasn't the signaler. And I'm like, man, you look so convincing. - Yeah, I was gonna say, there's gotta be an only one with a blue Texas long horn t-shirt. - Just throwing a lot of bubblegum, and just pulling your air bunch. - Coach, are the other guys in headsets, are they even connected to anything, or are they just purely making it up? - No, you can hear, you can hear, you can hear, you can hear. - Okay. - You can hear it, just have to make it up or something. And like I said, you always, you're gonna always find the guy. It's really easy, it's really easy. - Yeah, I'm surprised, I didn't know you guys, I mean, when I saw the documentary, I saw that you guys watched TV copy, but I was like, man, the copy, y'all gets incredibly, y'all get all 22 in zone, I'm like, I don't care, I don't know, TV copy. - You get everything, so yeah. - That's cool. So, Bama-- - Oh yeah, SC's on their game-winning drive right now. - Yeah. - Come on, let's go then. - Now we got Bama. - Okay, they're only up eight, they can go for it. - We almost threw a kid. - So what does this say about Georgia, right? Are we taking transitive property there with Bama? - I think it says with Georgia, they don't know who they are. They don't have an identity. Are they a run team? Because that's kind of what I think they should be. They've got good running backs, good offensive line. Carson Beck's a good quarterback, but they don't have what I would call dynamic playmakers outside of their tight end. - That's good. - Look, like what's their identity? Kirby Smart won a national title and two of them because of a front seven. Not had nothing to, you know, Stetson did, had nothing to do with Stetson Bennett. It had to do with having about eight defensive linemen that all got drafted within about two or three years. Same thing for Clemson in the mid-2000s. It had nothing to do with Deshawn Watson or Trevor Lawrence. It had to do with all those Watkins and Farrell and all those absolute monsters on the front for those first, for those few seasons. So Georgia, to me, is trying to figure out who Georgia is. - Yeah. I think if anything, it also points to like, we still haven't really figured out the SEC. Like, 'cause everybody we saw last weekend fell. So it's like, where does this put, you know, Bama's not playing great against SC. Bama beats Georgia. So yeah, like Georgia doesn't seem to have that identity and they no longer have that bowers or lab makonky bail. They shouldn't be in the ETN more, I would think. But yeah, against Bama-- - Real pass heavy. When I was breaking down their stats, I was like, oh, this is a passing team. 'Cause I just think Georgia, I just think defensive coach, I think running. - Yeah, look at you. - When I was breaking it down, I was like, this is not a running team. This is a passing team. And I just watched, like I said, for prep, I just watched Bama and Georgia again. And Manbeck had an awful game. - And their best player on offense is their running back. - Yeah. - And all their Australians, that's their best offensive weapon. - I wonder how much of that is just the, this sort of Alabama nerves. Because they really have beaten Alabama once, but it was because Jamison and Metche got hurt, right? And it was a no rematch. - Yeah. - Yeah, so I do wonder how much of that first half was just, we're in, you know, Bryant Denny. They're going nuts, you know, new coach. We can't lose to, it's not say but anymore. And then, yeah, they just, they started off so horribly. - Yeah, we can't relate. It's Texas Longhorn fans, but, you know, maybe it is tough to go in there and win, but we usually don't know. - It's like losing, we don't know. (laughing) - We can't relate, we just go in and win there, but I guess other people might struggle with that. It looks like a fumble. - Oh, Salors? North Salors? - I'm catching like very weak glimpses of what's happening, I'm excited. All right, so this was a good thing too. Let's talk, I hope we throw a few deep paths in the first quarter to loosen the box for blue. So, if I'm Oklahoma's defense, I'm going dime. And I'm going, I'm maybe going three safety dime too. 'Cause they got a, they got a, Spirit's Jennings is a baller at savings. Everybody else knows the other two names the most. They need to know him, that dude's nuts. So, if you can get all three of those safeties on the field, I think that'd be an interesting concept. Sarcs struggled with it. And what that would do is force Sarc to go big 12 personnel. Then we do like, you know, a lot of pooling schemes and stuff, and then at that point, you have Jayden and Blue. We're not a bad running team, but we're not like an elite. We're a better passing team is what I'm saying. You know, try to encourage us to get big and run. That'll slow us down. That'll slow the game down. That'll give them that chance to shorten it better too. So, I'm interested to see how they do it. 'Cause I know that BV can be aggressive. I don't think this is the Texas team to play aggressive against. Wait, wait a minute. - Yeah, Robert, Spirit's Jennings was the guy I wrote about on IT this week as one of the key players to watch, 'cause he does a lot of things. He's a bigger safety. He come down the box a lot. RPO, quick game, cross the middle. Like, keep your head. - He can pass rush. - He can pass rush. He's looking to do it all. So, I think they have their vaunted three half wide over, playing a tempo two out of a ton, 'cause that's what they love to do. And I don't think they're gonna be able to come out of it. But I think they're gonna do it out of so many different looks. You might get one high safety and then those other two bell out. You may get two high safety look, and then the third guy drops, right? Usually gotta find it. 'Cause I think they're gonna show pressure upfront to try to get the ball out of Quinn's hands fast and see, "Hey, maybe we can rally on tackle," right? We don't want long developing plays, 'cause I don't think we can keep up with their speed outside, but we make and get rid of the ball before those speed gets going. That's gonna be the game. Kinda like they did with Tennessee. And they got caught a couple of times, too, being over aggressive on the deep ball, but I think that's what they're gonna try to do to have a similar game plan. - Yeah, and OU's defense has carried them, but if you look at statistically, their secondary hasn't been great, 'cause outside of those DPs, they're giving up pass or, I mean, they're like 70 in yards per game on that. - They end up busting more than they should for a BV defense, and they have no speed on the outside. So like, can I walker, gettin' burnt? Does Malone gettin' burnt? So it's like, I mean, it's gonna be tricky to throw the post and stuff like that, but I mean, if you throw the fade ball, and if someone said go two quarterback, I was saying what would be funny is, you know how people do Wildcat or two running back. We should go two quarterback like I think Quinn said, but arch should be in there for the deep ball. So whenever it's time to go deep, he can just pass it to arch, he'll throw the fade, and then we can keep it in. - So that's a loss. - That's gonna be the trick. You guys are underestimating this defense. I keep hearing that, man. I did a breakdown. You guys are really good pass-rushers, good run defense, tops in. You're like eight-- - What's the starovers? - You guys are 80 is something in the country and yards per pass. You don't have a good secondary right now. And guess what, Texas has a top five passing offense in the country. - Looking for an ideal place to start or scale your business? - Come to Dubai, the new global powerhouse for innovation and business growth.

Maybe the best we've seen in 20 years of college football. - Yeah, I keep hearing more underestimating. You guys are not Georgia juggernauts from three years ago. Y'all have weaknesses on this team. I know you guys are gonna be good. Y'all are gonna blitz that stuff with this whole like, man, you guys don't know what you're getting into. - Yeah. - I mean, the new heart would make a play. - He got the touchdown. Jump ball, baseball. - Okay, I'm gonna give you two. - No, it's a two. - I watched him run track in Austin last spring. - Oh, really? - Was it last spring or spring before last? Can't remember. - John makes a good point too. - Oh, he's a big boy. - Hayden Thorin before that pick six. Like this is a team that should have lost to Auburn, realistically. - Oh, they lost the two pointer. - Yeah, you guys, I'm behind. - Yeah. - It would be funny if this was Danny Stutzman. Just a free game. - Actually, I wouldn't be surprised. - I mean, yeah, he's got a social media presence. Stutzman, you guys are gonna stop the run, but I just don't like fast it. - He's warming up, but he's also going through the message. I'm keeping receipts. - He's vase-worth with social media, so even worse. - This is something that I thought was interesting. They're underestimating Texas defense. This is one part that has annoyed me this week. We keep hearing about the elite OU defense. Texas is more elite. We've done opponent just at stats. Texas is like number four in the nation. OU is like number 10. So the reality is, Texas has a better defense than OU. So I'm also tired that the national media hasn't once talked about the Texas defense. Now I get it, OU's offense, you don't need an elite defense to slow me down. - I bet Texas likes it that way, to be tight on it. - Yeah, it's interesting. - The defense is actually building its own sort of identity. It's all kind of a swagger. It's great when you put 50-60 on the board of offense, but when your defense is giving up pitching shutouts, giving up one score, two score games, you start to get a lot of confidence on that side of the ball. And I think that's kind of where they're at right now. - Yeah, I said that the other day, they have so much confidence. Knowing pretty much in a lot of games, my offense is going to spot me maybe two and one point. - Right. - I'm gonna defend the pass, right? I'm gonna defend the pass. I know what's coming. Or I know that you're just trying to tuck tail and get out of it. So maybe you're just trying to slow the game down and run. So it becomes easy. The confidence is steady growing, man. - Yeah, it's like a good starting pitcher. When you get five runs in the first two or three innings, pitching becomes a lot easier when you go four or five runs in your back pocket. - Yeah, that's also very nice to know you have an offense. 'Cause the reality is the OU defense has to win the game. That's the only way they're gonna stay in the chance. - And they're gonna come to play, guys. I'm telling you, you're gonna be ready. That's Venable's side of the ball. They were ready last year. And buddy, they're gonna be ready this year. - Yeah, the trick is like that aggression and energy, you have to use it against them, right? Whenever they go into man, Bond, you gotta beat him, Quinn hit him, score a touchdown. You have to turn that energy on him. But it's gonna be fair. I'm always, man, as a fan of football, you have to just love watching Brent Venable. It's not fun when you're playing him. But just as a fan, dude, the stuff he does schematically is just a ton of fun. And you're dealing with a top coordinator on offense versus a top coordinator on defense going at each other. It's gonna be awesome. - SD got the onside kick. Oh, my God. - Each, man. Guess I got a little peck up. - Let's see the Bama fan in the surrender Cobra already. - Oh, my God. - Guess if the question is not too long, what would they do theoretically with the bore if this actually does happen? You know, 'cause he beats in your head again. - No, I don't mean this. - This is his mall again. - I just mean the fan reaction. I obviously don't mean the fan. - Look at what they have they reacted to, his clothes. They were mad about the-- - Oh, yeah, you saw that. - Dude, did you hear Bama fans saying that a 4-2-5 defense wasn't sound? Like they were blaming the loss on the 4-2-5. And I was like, what? - Yeah, they're talking about a defensive structure is not sound. It's the whole point. There's only like four defensive structures 'cause they're all sound. But that was the part that was cracking me up. - Shades of a UT parking. Or was that, it was the guy who didn't know what a nickel was. - Nichols isn't a coverage. - Yeah, a nickel. - Parking, but I changed it to nickels in a coverage 'cause that was just, that was just good stuff. - Yeah. - It's almost in the second and office line, but South Carolina, how about the ball? - The door sellers has had some, James Winston-esque meme. - Yes, yes. - Tell them it today. - Oh, they have no timeouts. - Oh, they gotta get sacked. - You have to put it at ball, dude. - Sellers have to go out there in that huddle. - But we scrawn, we scrawn. (laughs) - They have to be strong, we scrawn. - We scrawn, we scrawn. - We scrawn. - They scrawn, we scrawn. (laughs) - We can eat that dub. - Somebody put a video together about James Winston, I saw on social media. - Yeah, they, yeah. - I watched that recently. - And it's just, it was. - It is so good. - I love it. - How can you not like that guy? It is so good. - He went on Theo Vaughn's podcast, too, and he's like, he's just a great guy. - Yeah, he's a great guy, too. - I freak, did you see Theo Vaughn in the end zone when Diego Pavilla- - Oh, Andy, yeah. - He was in there, like, in the middle of it. - Theo Vaughn and Diego Pavilla, that's a podcast. - And interception. - That's a movie. - Oh my gosh. - He can go. - Oh, dude. - Yeah. - We picked his family. - He just threw it. - He just threw it up. - And it stays alive. - Also, the goal there is like, why are you going for the touchdown? You're going, you're getting in field position for a field goal. That's not the point, field position. Oh, you're number four in the country in field position. So they've been a lead at that. That's what happens when you have a defensive coach. So here's, I think, the trick, right? They need something weird to happen to us on special teams. That would be ideal. And then, like, Quinn, backside, Quinn. Well, Calvin Banks is guarding your backside. So that's a pretty good guy to do that. - Well, I won the record this year. - Something like that where Quinn is blind and they strip sack him. Something like that. Yes, Sellers, that was the dumbest he saw. - He's going in field goal range. - But Sellers is the reason they were committed to that. - Yeah, it is. - Yeah. - Honestly. - Yeah, I mean, it gets that last year, he was the reason. But yeah, I would say like what Homer's saying is, they would need to start similar to what UT had when they were the worst team in 2021, block a punt. Like something like that, but UT at least had an offense thing. - Yeah. - They need a bad pick again. You know, something crazy like that would have to happen for them. I think to- - It would have to happen multiple times. - Yeah, and then Hawkins has got to have like some Kyler Murray-esque run. - Cool. - Cool, man. - Yeah, well, it's like, well, you notice like Sarc scoring is inelastic based on the strength of the defense. Sarc is always going to put up like between 30 and 40 points. It doesn't matter if he's like playing the most elite defense or whatever, he's kind of, 'cause he just needs six plays and Sarc always finds six plays. And so that's the difference. So it's like, oh, he was going to have to like, he's going to have to be like a weird special team saying, and they get an interception and they fumble. Even if you do give to Hawkins, Hawkins still going to have to score 30 points. - Realistic, I think that's all that to lose by less than 10. - Yeah, for them to get like put 30 on the board or 28 even, like we'd have to be like maybe a one special team score one pick six or something strips ahead, whatever it may be. But yeah, I mean, it's just, it's just, it's a lot of things that would have to drastically change from the regular profile of what I've been as a team. - Yeah, and Texas would just have to, it's going to have to be really bad play on our part for that to happen. - Score predictions, 35 to. - Hey, I've got something for you real quick. I'm going to predict Leona LaFalle is going to get some major playing time today. Might even start, maybe, but he's going to play a lot today. And I think LaFalle is, oh my God. - It's all right, Rubble. - Yeah, it's your grandmother. I got people coming through, so this is like bad. - Yeah, I don't even know what I was talking about. Oh, LaFalle, big time this year. Big time this game. Be ready for today. - Will he get a sack today? - He's going to do some stuff. Listen, he might be the most natural linebacker in that room, and buddy, that is saying something with that career. - Yeah, that is really saying. - Instinctively, instinctively. I like Anthony Hill overall. - Yeah. - I'm top to bottom better, but LaFalle as an instinct. Oh, God. I could see him moving to Mike next year and putting Anthony over at Sam in Thai Anthony. It will. Oh, my Lord. - I know, that's the thing is the future just keeps looking better too. - Damn. That's like early 2000s Texas linebacker play. - Scarlet says Vosik will ball out. - And then this is what I was interested in. I was going to say, how many sacks do you guys think Simmons ends up with? - It's two a game. - Yeah. - Probably two. - And he said the dominant comment. So it's like, now he's got to back it up. - Yeah. - I think we're going to dominate him. - All right, finally, what, breaking off and getting the D line or the pass rush, getting five sacks against Mississippi State. It was at six or five or six, right? So it's like, if I'm not coming to their element and no better team to play than this beaten down a OU line right now. - Yeah. Man, we're getting a lot of predictions. But I'm kind of in the, like I was like 35, 13, kind of was like where I'm at. Yeah, that's similar to Michigan, I would think. - Yeah. - It's like on some field goals. - 38, 14 is I think what I picked. - 37, 14, something like that. - It's not going to be like that 17, 17 ish, 14 ish, that kind of stuff I feel comfortable with. Man, we got a bunch. - Yeah. - Prediction, tafkits and interceptions. - Oh, look at that barrel. - Yo, puppy. - I like that. - Air bud. - Air bud. - Craftiest thing before John Elway. - John Elway, everybody. - His name's Elway? - Yeah. - He came from a, they called the NFL breed and they had Elway Breeze. Shoot, I can't remember the other one. I like that. - Taf player, the game on D. This does seem like a game where Taf can take over, especially 'cause Taf, I forget nothing. - He chooses to have them. - I was like, I was like. - Thank you for having me, dude. - Thank you, Michael, for saying those things. I will die for this team. - Yeah. (laughing) - I love it. - That's Michael Taf 101. - That's, this is like the '80s again. Like, he's not-- - He's got different guys. That boy's been raised properly. - Yeah. - Dude, he was, he was correct. - Hey, Joe Westlake, boy, that's why. - Yeah. - This one's on National ABC. Rodger's in on National ESPN. - Quinton's right right there. The quad box. Quad box is king. - It's gotta be on big. - It's gotta be on big. - The TV is live, yeah, it is. - I think we're about that time, Connor. - It is. - Yeah, buddy. - Ooh, yeah. - All right, guys, I'm gonna be nervous for three hours. Let's do it. - Oh, nothing to be done. - I'm excited, guys. This should be a fun one. - Great job, man. - Regardless what it's all about. And then also, guys, remember, as soon as the clock hits zeros, we're gonna be on for post-games. So come hang out with us after win-loser draw. I think it'll be a win, though. All right, everyone. This'll be a fun one. - Let's go. - Hang out, fans. Hook 'em, y'all. - What the hell happened there? - All right, guys. - Yeah. - Later. - Get the football. Let's go.
It's 1:30pm Central and... let's discuss the Red River Shootout.
