Monday nITe LIVE (10/07): OU Week, Sark Presser, Team News
Welcome everyone to your Monday night live. We are we are a for some tonight We've got Eric drew and Ian. This is oh you week Ian for you that does this rank up there? This is probably like Christmas Toyota thon. Oh you week Those are probably your three your three big weeks of the year I need to I kind of want to get a new Sienna. Oh dude. Those are dope. Yeah, I hear you So I that may that may if I do that in the next year or two that may rank higher than a oh you week, but that's fair Yeah, I I love this one. Although I I generally feel pressure. I usually want to get it exactly right In what way like Everything about it the score. Yeah, well, I don't really care about scores, but I like the dynamics and the matchups and the outcome So yeah, roaster. I have four kids to get around. So the minivan is was where it's at The tell me creature I have right now doesn't do very well this yeah, well, it's yeah We're not sponsored by any mopar products. I didn't even know what a Sienna was so I think roasters hiding something from us. Oh, yeah I don't know man. Those things are things are sleepers You knew you ordered out. What was that Drew? If he knew he'd want one See yeah Drew does this in all sincerity like when you guys were Prepping the season. How was this week bookmarked? I mean, what was we how far in advance? I guess are you thinking of this as a freshman just going in let's start there before you know any better Well, that's a freshman freshman. You're just trying to get through camp, right? You just want to be on special teams by the time the game comes around. No, honestly I think at the end of the day this game was always one where we didn't really have big matchups every year prior at least not in conference so Everyone knew you wanted to have everything buttoned up by the time you got to the Red River And that was the best part about it. I think mid-season getting a good mid-season Legitimate challenge every year was key and so regardless of how you looked prior to that game This was kind of the the game that was going to be your test that would help see where you stand for the rest of the season So that that's where this game is landed and one thing I will say is we do have A&M back this year And in that robbery was special to us in a different way, but in a separate situation It's at the end of the season. So however you look at the end of the season injuries and everything else There's there's no excuses. It's a great great test at the end of the season. But yeah, this one There's nothing like this one in the middle Hey Drew, how much Oklahoma prep did y'all sneak in in the weeks before you actually played the Sooners? At least two weeks before you start working on things or there's things that were just installed in camp and they would just roll it back Sarg does it the same? You know you're working on OU when you're working on OU You know you're reinstalling some things or brushing up some things or looking at taking a view of just different looks You'll get over the next few weeks But you really don't know how it's going to be rolled out into the actual week of the game And so that's why we've been doing it. So it happens all the time It's just not just OU you'll start working on things for other teams, too And you won't see it in the game plan, but it just kind of it layers into what's already being built on This week is the week that kind of just keeps on giving and if you are We you know, I said inside Texas. We're gonna be giving some some love, too We're doing a flash sale for this week. It is 50% off the annual price use the promo code hookham and Join us there. There's a lot of good stuff going on right there in fact We have some questions right now from the board. I'd like to go to I'll throw this one to you Eric We'll start with you at least and This is this is coming from our our very good friend We know him really well by his Christian name MBW six to nine is asking You know if you had to Pick one position group to trade with OU. What group would that be? Oh Man Again, you got one they made their choice they can all stay up. It's yeah, I don't I don't really see it I don't see it. Honestly, that's why you know, I mean Texas on paper, Texas Is the 14 and a half point favorite? They should be they've got advantages all over the place now that now Oh, you's defense is quite good and they do have some good interior defensive lineman some good edges But Texas has the same - I mean, it's you know, maybe maybe they have some better depth at detackle. That's even debatable Yeah, I don't I don't I wouldn't trade anything what he's got to give an answer You got to tell me what you're gonna trade if you're gonna say I couldn't think of anything in there Don't ask the question and be what the hell But the tough one it is it is admittedly a tough one. Well, all right. Let's go with our next question and this one comes from a Person with a much easier screen name and that is Give me the crew's give me the crew's. Okay. Here's your question. Give me the crew's And again, I think this is interesting given the opportunities that special teams has had but do we have any concerns with this? Are seemingly less exclusive Special team units this year start with you Drew Throw you on the spot. I know throw me on the spot less exclusive special teams unit. I mean At the end of the day, this is what I was hoping this last week is that we've been I mean All up until this point of the season we haven't had to be special or explosive yet I do feel like we've led with that last year like we didn't shy away from making sure our special teams stood out earlier in the season So maybe I'm just still holding out hope that we've just been holding some things in our back pocket to unleash on the back half of the season I'm hoping that's what we've done because you're right. It hasn't been awe-inspiring up to this point, but Uh, I can't imagine we don't have more left in our bag from a special teams perspective of For the back half of this season You know losing keelan robinson. We knew that was going to hurt Um, and then losing cj backster this year hurt because it pulled trey wasner off of his keelan robinson role So, you know that that was going to be one of the guys that they featured on pun block that they would draw stuff up for him And then on returns man, you're only one play away from changing the whole conversation You know sign that could go the other way too with the way stylus is a kamikaze But uh, either stylus or uh matthew golden or one play away from them going from everybody going hey, you know the special teams are explosive It is true. I mean we're just really I think you know, we've had so much. I don't want to call it hype But I mean let's face it. He's got a good resume. We've seen what he's done in the past But I think he expecting some see some of that at texas is a reasonable thing We want to think quinton right now for uh for feeding Ian's kids. It's very hard to lust over a toyota seona seena and then also be able to go and and and buy some food product For you. I'm just I'm just picturing fries wedged in between all those seats. Oh my god. That's grubby little hands everywhere 100 fries everywhere in every crevice Took you in the back of let me rephrase Yeah, go on if you were to if you were to find yourself inside of our family minivan you would be No, there's a bottle. There's a bottle of Milk somewhere under a seat that's been there for three years now. That's that can't do it. Yep So we do have I want to go over to and this is this would be kind of fun This is a little bit of a dream casting here, but do we see a kc Tomston cameo this game Well, then hockens decides to do the uh, you know, keep doing the mid-air some result that he's been doing He's not We've noticed this with young quarterbacks. They tend not to protect themselves as much Maybe not Fully appreciating the duke drew kelson's of the world exist on the other side of the ball I mean, do we think we'll see a kc Thompson? I hope not. I mean, they're not going to bad spot. Isn't it? Well, I mean they can't they can't bench Hawkins after benching Arnold, right? I mean, that would be right You're not gonna have anything left. There's gonna be no psyche left I wanted to I want to thank quinton again. I was you know, we're joking around there, but thanks a lot for that I mean, you can't you can't melt the kid's brain After you just you know, Arnold, you know, what's gonna happen with him Long-term at OU now once you get passed up. We saw what happened with rattler once keloland's came in Uh, they've got a they've got to ride somebody, you know, they knew they were gonna have issues coming in or at least they should have known Everybody else knew I still don't know why dylan gabriel isn't there starting quarterback Um, but you know, you got they got a ride with hockens at this point Hey, they have a big problem Is that jack snorkel play has already played in four games and he didn't red shirt last year So there's You're wondering if he just quits and shuts it down this season That's what i'm calling Why would he want to use this year on this team that threw him under the bus when he could use that To red shirt and save that eligibility to play somewhere else Because he know and at this point he knows he needs a lot more development than he probably realized coming into college Right. I mean, he's got a long road ahead of him still telling a kid Um, but yeah, he's you know, it's so so tough to be quarterback because you're supposed to be a team leader But at the same time you have to be selfish for your eligibility as well I mean they threw him under the bus after that game. So I I hate when players shut it down and quit, but I mean They they They would have brought it upon themselves. Yeah, this is one exactly be a barrel out exam or so No, and that they saddled him with the crappiest situation. He had no receivers. He had no line He was supposed to be their savior. They gave him terrible play calls And then when the play calls went bad, they tried to they tried to cut him loose like uh, was it uh? Sorry, uh, private Santiago, right And in the in the in corporal whatever If yeah, if you're good man, jeez man that rolled off your tongue, man You just watch it if Aaron's working with running it himself Many times Probably more than 10, but uh, yeah, it's garbage They deserve what's coming to them. All I went for christmas is to see kc Thompson in the red river shootout I mean that would there would be kind of kind of I mean because when he committed with like We always thought because of dad went there, of course Was unceremoniously, uh, you know kicked out of school Uh, it just felt like, you know, it was going to end up this way somehow he transferred, uh, to nebraska And it's like, well, you know, he's gonna gonna go to every one of uh texas's rivals at some point It's just now he's at OU How does it work out that way? It's crazy. Now here's so here's a good one for Ian keys to the game I think this is what this is uh, what are the keys? What are the keys to the sienna or what are these what are the keys to the game? That's a fair question, right? Um I'm still working working some of that out, but if if Hawkins doesn't Pick up any explosive plays Then it's hard to imagine oklahoma scoring more than like 10 if even that cheese So don't allow Hawkins explosive plays. That's pretty much in the bag from there um And uh, or just don't commit turnovers on offense this year Which is a lot easier said than done, but I mean it has the really obvious one, but uh Yeah, they oklahoma has to have explosive plays from Hawkins and they have to have turnovers and probably turnovers that Either like put them in scoring position to spoon feed their offense or our direct points scored by the defense Uh both both working man And the other question that we really haven't and I don't I have to be honest I've been reading your work a while now in and there's not been a lot of mention of senior magic Which I find to be a little bit disrespectful um, they have a very very solid coven up there in In Norman. Why why are you not accounting for the magic that can happen? Um I think they already used that up in uh, Auburn's been used Yeah Uh quinton is is keeping keeping you in alive. I mean What now is bringing the heat so this is the here's a question from ut parking that really This takes a little bit of a challenge here because we're doing some some transitive math, but What did arkansas do defensively that seemingly shut down tennis the tennessee offense and that can translate To this texas, oklahoma match up Uh they ran the flyover Three high safety three-down lineman flyover that they surprised sark with in uh Was that god forsaken 2021 Yeah and um Tennessee josh hyple does not know what to do with it Apparently, I wonder if he even thought he would see it again after oklahoma did it to him But arkansas brought it back If texas ran that against oklahoma in this game that'd be hilarious I would deeply enjoy it, but I don't anticipate it. It's unless you count the third down package, which is basically that But i'm like first in ten. I don't know That'd be great. Maybe they should Well again, I want to uh to thank the small child that has quinton's phone and is just spamming us with uh superchats right now This is really great. Do not give the phone to your parents. Just keep pushing that button. You're doing a great job We really appreciate you having on with my buddy What what are we looking forward? So From let's talk let's transition over here to a little bit about sark's presser. I mean Again, the my takeaway from this I'd be curious to see what you think about this drew is sark There is a there is an abolian celebrity to to sark this year. There's a lightness That I I haven't seen in a texas coach in a while he really believes in this team And it seems like his his attitude toward that and just really appreciating college football has been kind of a prevalent through line in these but Just what is your read on kind of that? What's the vibe check through? So sark is in rhythm sark has a formula. He knows works. He has a team who's bought in who knows how to prepare and show up He knows how to address the guys who do not prepare the right way He knows how to put a fire in front of them early in the week so they are so that they are prepared so It's I mean when you aren't sure of who you are When you don't have a game plan when you don't have confidence when you don't have a method to your madness Yeah, you're on edge or you feel like you have to be pretentious about the edge you bring to your public speaking engagements sark doesn't do that sark it's kind of crazy because he has been one of the most open Honest kind of fourth right coaches. We've had it just he doesn't do much coach speak Um, I mean he even said in the interview last week It's like I don't have any special names for my special teams units because I use all my creativity for plays like he is He's cashed out Football coach. He's all in obsessed with being the coach. He has a process in place So you just you don't see it because you're not used to seeing it from from coaches in general But sark just knows who he is and he can show up and be fully present And that press conference because he's not freaking out about what he has or hasn't done because he has a formula now that he feels strong about One of the things that that he mentioned eric specifically was just how good he felt coming out of this by week What is what is the sense that you're getting from from obviously your sources and just What's going on around the team? Well, you know, I think that confidence comes from how prepared he is personally and that he can you know forward that transition that onto his team Um, you know, I think that he's been more prepared than the team In their two losses last year going back. I think the team lost a little bit of focus in both those big games and I don't you know I think he's got the game plan going into him Um He is obsessed that's not just a moniker He's he works that hard and I think that creates the preparation that leads to his confidence and his honesty and his his comfort ability You said there's the lightness to him. He's actually down 30 pounds. So he must be getting some work done on the treadmill. Oh boy Um, but you know what I really like about him is he is not rigid He will change things up if he feels like they're not working or you know, he'll he'll he'll you know last week He was not afraid to focus on oh you it wasn't that whole we're not going to look ahead We're just going to focus on us this week for the bi-week and fix our mistakes, you know internal mistakes He's like no, we'll focus on oh you, you know We're lucky to be able to play in this game when she says it says every year Um, but he's he's you know, he's not rigid to his process Like today for an example normally they do their bloody Tuesday on tuesday's obviously that's their most physical practice of the week They move that today to uh to monday in order for the team to be just a little bit more fresh going into the week Um, you know little things like that. I think um, you know, he's he's comfortable moving on the fly a lot of coaches You know, especially the previous one man if he did it one way that day He's gonna do it the next day the same exact way and sark is like that to some some degree does like consistency everybody does Um, but he's just he's comfortable. He's confident Um, and like I said man. He's he's the best coach when matched for their job that you can find in the country I mean somebody could just mention curvy smart. I guess but sark would win there too. I'm not sure curvy smart would Work quite as well at texas as he has at georgia Well, one person in particular that works for you specifically in your fiduciary needs is our friend david It's here.

So just give him a call the number is 312-933-8823. That's 312-933-8823 His email is also in the description below What uh one of the things again going back to this press conference is the continuity of the offensive line Obviously, this is something that sark is feeling really good about and this is a this is a major problem for oh you I mean there are a lot of transfers coming in they obviously have a very very good offensive line coach But I think I think they're the misconception going into oh you's season was look we've got Experienced players are from disparate areas, but we're gonna kind of take this doctor morrow esk Line and kind of form something functional and that just hasn't happened yet en so i'm i'm wondering I mean, is it possible? Do you see any major changes coming from them and this this time off that they've had Well, they're lying their own line will probably be better than we've seen to date There's only the last game of the year that they finally got Um, they're like intended starting five out on the field healthy together Now they've had two weeks with that group to get healthier still and you get To get better together Um Just really in the nick of time for them. I don't think they're gonna be an amazing old line But they could be a lot better than say like the unit they got like couldn't fend off Houston um if I were them I'd be looking to Be as spready as possible in my formations um to create To just get everybody for texas out of the box if possible And then run Hawkins 20 times as much as his body can hold up doing And then and then count on that for Just enough runs to get into some explosive plays and also to get some first down so you're not doing a lot of three and outs and punting to midfield Because that'll there's no way their defense can hold up if they're doing that all day Um, that's that's what I expect from them I don't know what they're actually gonna do, but that seems like Their most reasonable path Is this Is how much of a concern drew should Should Hawkins running ability be for this defense? I mean the more he runs the more likely he's going to get hit So if they want to go that route, let's just hit him I mean that's really what it comes down to like we don't want him getting explosive plays We haven't given up much of those to quarterbacks, but if that's what he chooses to do he will get hit and I'm not sure that's the path. They want to go for four quarters. Uh, maybe they just pick and choose it I know 20 times sounds great But I don't see anyone running on us that much with their quarterback Or just running on us and focusing on the run in general and able to score the points necessary to beat us so We'll see. Um if that's the approach they want to take I don't see them Wanting to possess the ball for 40 minutes Um and in milk the clock. I just I don't know that that's the route they want to take either Um, they should probably go with an explosive outscore Texas route Uh because I really don't think I mean they have to find 30 points in this game As good as their defense is. I still think they need to find 30. So I'm sure I don't I don't think there's any chance that that's going to happen. I mean fair slots words That's that's really that's really the point I don't see it happening They did hold Texas to 23 last year So no, I don't think they can do that again Because they scored out there they scored on a punt. They scored on a pump lock. Oh, okay Yeah I made that mistake in my call and then one of the readers quickly pointed it out. Well, those those pesky readers are always fixing my stuff too um All right, that was embarrassing on my part to miss a red river detail, but um Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I think they have to win with defense. I don't Yeah I I was asked the other day what Texas had to score to win the game. I was being just you know a little bit of a jerk But I you know 21 question mark. I mean, I And then advanced statistics I saw today I was I think it's the stats of war guy. Uh, he had it rejected 31 to 18 Uh, you know something like that. Um It's gonna be tough for them to find points and the more that they run them the more he's gonna get hit the harder It is for him to throw, you know, it's it's tough to it's tough to throw when he can't breathe how much given given Sarks experience and our experience with sark how much if you had to just guess in a percentage way how much How many more New wrinkles do you think we'll see this weekend? How much of the playbook is he going to open up because I mean he's been Pretty consistent to be honest up to this point a good way to frame this would be to ask Ian What would he do uh to to owe you that we haven't seen texas do yet with them in mind What uh defense he expects so you to run? I mean do you I could I guess I could say it that way So Why don't you just do it do what eric said? I think that's a better way of doing it Uh, they've not run their Ezekiel wheel uh, Ezekiel's wheel rpo very much this season They've like played around with it a little bit and some of the things that are built around it But that play is tortured oklahoma for two years in a row And if they've got any new wrinkles off that play This is the week. They're gonna have saved it for Oklahoma Have the dolphins run any new variations That's a fair question. All right good question I haven't watched much. Yeah, I don't really watched any in a fell this year, but Maybe I should in preparation for some of my articles this week But yeah running who are you having are you having blue on that wheel who are you running on that wheel? Well, they can they can do a lot of things with it. They could have bolden or bond run that wheel um They're really setting up the glance I would think this year would be the year that vinables figures to just Force the run and say no, no, don't let them throw it at all until they's different than to like get wide and stop past When he sees that coming Let's see if you can just force Texas to run the ball and even do that We'll see Okay If I were they my would if I would if I could I'd rather Hey run the ball at jadon blue and trey wisener 30 times right over Over trying to cover bond and bold. Yeah, that would be my point is if anything I'd just be like forced them to pass the ball, but again, it's like I mean, I don't know what you're gonna do. I'm not going to assume yet that they respect our receivers Until they see on themselves That that could be the mistake that they make but I just think With their debate they have to decide who they're going to put on the island They have to decide how they want to win this game And if they play if they feel like they can get the pressure they need or create the pressure they need and rattle quinn I think they feel strongly they'll be able to put pressure on quinn. It really comes down to can quinn and respond to it and get the receivers the ball Before the dv's just get beat by the receivers. I really think it comes down to This is a quinn game Venables will be able to put pressure on quinn That that's not going to be the question. I think he's going to find ways to get pressure on him It's just can quinn make the adjustments and get the ball out Because I don't think these guys are going to be playing with a clock that has four or five seconds in it They're going to expect or hope that the ball comes out quickly because if not I guess somebody's getting beat deep Quinn's going to control it with rpo's I think Do we do we think we're going to see the option from from Oklahoma? Yeah, they ran They had quarterback run options on most of their plays against Auburn They also ran some uh screens to their receivers like Brandon Thompson Where they would fake a quarterback power in order to set up a wide receiver screen somewhere else They've had two weeks to draw up as much of that as they can So I think they will use they know that texas is coming into this game saying we got to get eyes on hockens and stop hockens And so they're especially their opening script. Oklahoma's going to have a gazillion plays That try to use the hockens threat to create space for somebody else The problem is that somebody else is not very good so Well A group that we know is very good.

It was fun to learn his last name was sharp because I always thought that he was very smart Uh, he went to ut law school. I went to ut it was a engineer first then law school And then he started up a winery with his wife Out in the davis mountains only 50 years old. We wish you the best dan. Uh, thanks for being such a big part of our community When we're when we're talking about Again, we we were alluding to that oklahoma defense. I mean as far as the texas side of that we Who do we see? Do we see anybody spying specifically on hawkins? You start with you drew I mean down down a distance they're going to dictate that um But I mean it's That will be an assignment that I think the obvious people will have Uh, I mean our linebackers may have binda may have it He's explosive enough to take that on. I mean, so it could be any range of players. Um, at the end of the day They're I mean that's where I think it's going to be amongst our albies I just don't think we need a special specific person for hawkins I mean, remember he's still a young quarterback. His eyes are going to be wide Unless they come into the game intentional about him running like we are going to run him to win He's going to be seeing way too much to for us to have to really specialize and have a certain specific guy A spy on him. I really think it just come down to us playing our defense Playing contained getting pressure, but also making sure we have guys who have their eyes on and we can get back to them But I don't think it'll be any specific player um required for for this To your next investment opportunity Include eight trillion dollars in private wealth and 300 plus connections with wealth management firms all in one place Invest in Dubai the world's fastest growing venture capital ecosystem and a global wealth hub With access to Dubai International Financial Center Unlock unmatched business opportunities join Dubai's financial revolution where growth meets opportunity Visit www.dubaibeyondpossible.com to know more I mean, we got to talk about this being his first Texas ou game on top of it. He's facing one of the better defenses but one of the best defenses in the country Uh, his head is going to be swimming. He might be running what he might be running for his life It's not going to be all just the drawn up and I think everybody sees his athletic upside and and thinks that the worst is going to happen His head's going to be swimming. He's not going to know what the defense and backs are doing Um, you know, the magnitude of the game might get to him He talked with drew was just talking about earlier if we were happy just to make special teams as a true freshman Uh, this guy's going to start. That's uh, that's a tall order Yeah, it's uh It is certainly It is one of the challenges that's bringing presented in this and again this week We've got uh, all of our lives in in the morning on thursdays You've got who's got the deep dive with, uh, drew Sorry now with drew with in and our friend paul coming up later, so there's going to be lots and lots of Coverage for you and as we're just kind of coming up on the on the end here of this I wanted to just really really quickly in Just for the because there's very very little time for you to be pot Oh, I know where i'm setting this up. That's not so tappening. This is actually a legitimate question is What does oh you have to do to win this game? They need, uh, yeah They need, uh Like I said, I think they got to run hockens a million times I know drew the former linebackers like please run that guy a million times I don't know. I don't see how else they have a chance to consistently manufacture offense other than at least the threat of him running consistently Um, that's what texas used to do with sam elinger. I know elinger is a different kind of guy than hockens, but, um Drawed heard one a game is a red shirt freshman in the red river shoot out by running the ball 20 times Uh, that's just that's what it has to be in this game. You either Can know man up to that or not I like I said, I think they need They need to win the turnover margin By a good margin and ideally either score on defense or set up um Touchdowns And uh, that's two keys. I feel like I had another key to this game At one point last week. I'm not used to there being two weeks of this Quinsing on a fan of a tari. Yeah, it's not it's not a little upset But you know what here's the thing quinton quinton is trying to fix the problem And that's what I really appreciate about him. He does he does have a complaint a very reasonable one Yeah, he's trying to solve that problem. So again, thank you quinton. Do not give that phone back to your parents You're doing a great job, buddy. All right Any any anything you'd like to add to that drew or eric No, uh, you know, paul, they should go read paul's article is that the free one paul had a free one and a one behind the paywall You should read the paywall actually Um, a lot of very good one about matching intensity and physicality And i'm not sure that oh you're physical enough up front for this game Uh, I think that the biggest advantage is probably ut defense against their offense And I think that's both from a physicality standpoint experience standpoint and talent standpoint Um, you know normally the more physical team wins or the the team that plays with more urgency Uh, I think that's uh, I think that's going to be in working texas's favor this week We do have a question from john a and i'm going to throw this over to you drew just because You know in and I didn't play division one football, but what who uh How much change can actually happen in a in a bi week? I mean what kind of improvement Is reasonable in that amount of time? Uh, I mean from a physical execution Improvement type situation that does not exist. I mean physically executing or physically becoming capable of something you weren't Two weeks ago does not happen Um, that does not mean they can't do maybe what bama did early on against georgia and have just a good package of plays Find some explosives just find some points in ways that we didn't anticipate and just put some pressure on us Um, who knows how possible that is just depending on what they cook up But as far as their team, I mean you have to believe who people are players work hard every week All of all over the country Oh, you players have worked hard every week and they've still Had the same output Consistent output week over week. Look at the teams they've played and how they've shown up That doesn't change just because you're playing texas. I even think last year Oh, you was not a bad team where we a better team. Yes, but they were not a bad team last year and just that mere Intensity that they started with gave them edge gave them confidence and we were in a battle This is not that game That we had last year. I I do think they're going to come with intensity, but I don't think we're going to see just a Better team Just then we've seen unless Michael Hawkins has something up his sleeve himself That we have not seen and he can execute in the passing game and see things and read things the way that we haven't seen Um But we've seen enough of them in the last couple we said no, you know The biggest thing he could probably do is protect the ball and run the ball Better than than Jackson Arnold, but that being enough To make this a challenge. I just don't see it Well, they you know there could be Chicken heads there could be I have newt. You don't know what goes into the magic and there's lots of stuff We want to thank everybody What was that drew? Could be ground rhinoceros toast again. I don't know the ingredients. I'm just assuming I don't possess sooner magic I'm just assuming these are the things that go into it speed Nothing copper wire That's copper wire truck stop amphetamines. Yeah the bottom line is texas is better than last year and oh you is not better than last year and so You know texas just has to come out and play this game There was a game that texas played oklahoma in the last decade where uh, some people on the texas side thought maybe oklahoma's guys had Uh in vibes were kind of stimulant before the game Because of how jacked up they were I mean, yeah, okay. I kind of thought that was a default position Yeah, I was gonna say, how are you not jacked up? No, I mean like they No, we know what you mean Ian that we're making the joke the other way You know what guys everybody you're doing a great job Does your next investment opportunity include eight trillion dollars in private wealth and 300 plus connections with wealth management firms all in one place Invest in Dubai the world's fastest growing venture capital ecosystem and a global wealth hub with access to Dubai International Financial Center Unlock unmatched business opportunities join Dubai's financial revolution where growth meets opportunity Visit www dot Dubai beyond possible dot com to know more [BLANK_AUDIO]
