is a all day affair. Myshow got done about six hours ago,
(00:55):
it seemed like, and now I'mstill in here hustling trying to talk to
people. Has been doing it allmorning. So I don't feel bad for
him, because your boy has todo it too. Yeah, that's true.
And Cam, you've been the teammatefor him there. You know,
you have your deal. You normallycome in in the morning, but not
what six o'clock in the morning,right, Yeah, Usually I'm sleeping in
(01:17):
past six a m. But thisweek, crowd, it's beause I love
you. That's fine, Because Ilove you. That's why I'm getting up
so early. But hey, it'sbeen fun working with you. Obviously,
it's it's been a blast. It'sgone by so quickly. I like to
think of myself as the Brock Cunninghamof the zone. There you go,
we got Max Sasmis here, wegot Dylan Issue here, or the other
way around. Whatever, you aregoing to go start producing him Yugoslavia now,
(01:38):
so he's like going overseas to playcontinuous basketball. Well, he wanted
to go play I think exclusively inAustralia and New Zealand. Yeah, I
was Australia. Yeah, I'm downfor that. Ugo Slavia, I'm I'm
not sure about Apparently it's going tohappen in Europe for Brock, but that's
okay. He's going to continue hishis basketball career. We continue here from
SEC Football media days. It's beena lot of fun so far coming up
(01:59):
with the few minutes we're gonna hearthe conversation with Kelvin Banks Heart and I
had with him just a little bitago. Because this is Texas Day where
uh, they bring in coach Sarkand bring in three players and they basically
do what's what commonly referred to inour industry and our business as the car
wash, because you're just you gofrom station to station like with a car
(02:23):
wash, with the wash, thewax, the shine, all that other
kind of stuff and you get upnice cream book. And so they do
that. So they've been going throughthe rotator on that. But of course,
obviously with us being the flagship station, they make time for us as
well. Uh And that included uhuh, a one on one conversation with
(02:46):
Sark separate from the main media briefing, and there's one electronic media gathering as
well. But they make time forus, and you'll hear that coming up
in the four o'clock hour. Butalso the players, and we got an
opportunity to do them. We'll hearthose conversations coming up here in a few
minutes. But I don't know.The impression I got from them as they
make their way through all of thistoday, Harts, was just that they're,
(03:08):
you know, very relaxed and confidentand kind of sure themselves in their
opportunities and roles and the responsibilities.Yeah, and that's the beauty of this.
These guys are seasoned. Now.We talked about Quinn. You were
third year with Coach sark. Youlook at Kelvin Banks his third year as
the starting tackle at the University ofTexas, and then John day barn is
(03:30):
who he is, and so theconfidence exudes everywhere. But it's also when
you're prepared, you don't have tolook frazzled. And these guys are prepared
for whatever is thrown their way rightnow. This morning, Kaylin de Boor,
the head coach of Alabama, wasthere and he was asked, as
(03:51):
you might imagine, a lot ofquestions about succeeding Exhabean and in fact,
our friend Kirk Bowles, formerly forall those years the Austin American station out
with the Houston Chronicle, and Kirkwill be with us on this program in
our afternoon. Kirk asked him,he said, didn't see if this sounds
anything like her. I'm just curious, you know, when you have how
(04:14):
many coaches did advise you not totake this job because he was going to
be a lot like uh, youknow, following a legend like Nick Shaban
something like that. That sounds aboutright, Yeah, that sounds right.
So Kaylen de Boor kind of chuckledalong with and said, oh yeah,
and there was that and and hesaid, but I had you know,
we understand understand the responsibility involved thereand and uh the opportunity involved there.
(04:40):
And Kaylen the bore knows that.I mean, this is the first time
he's they said, coach south ofthe makes Mason Dixon line in his life
exactly. And he asked him aboutthe adjustment to that. He goes,
well, it's a lot hotter,I can tell you that, he said,
I've sweating a lot more. Soyou had that and then and then
you had Jeff Levy his first headcoaching job. We remember when he was
(05:02):
back on the Baylor's staff at OurBriles and then of course at Oklahoma,
you know, but he is nowinherited the role at Mississippi State. So
there's change involved with Hatch. Andthe third school involved here has been Florida
as well, and Billy Dapier inwhat many feel is kind of an important
(05:24):
year for him this season. It'sa huge year for Billy Napier. I
mean, you talk about these traditionalschools, Florida is not used to being
on the other side of this.Florida is used to being in the conversation
of national championships, winners of theSEC Conference We've seen Danny warfol walking around
(05:45):
here all of the last couple ofdays and now he's with Graham Mertz as
they start walking around. But that'swhat it's all about. That's when you
think about it. That's what Floridaneeds to do. And Billy Napier understands
that this job as the Florida Gatorhead coach, it bears a lot of
irons for you to make sure thatyou get things right. There's no doubt
(06:08):
about that. And that's what wemeant. It was kind of an important
year for them because they're not usedto kind of having the year that they
had. No there were recent yearsanyway, Absolutely, there some big time
moves for everyone that's involved in atFlorida and of course the rest of the
SEC. Yeah, so that's partof this. And then of course there's
one more day tomorrow of SEC FootballMedia Days. It's four schools every day.
(06:34):
As we mentioned, you know,the first day you had Vanderbilt,
and you had LSU, and youhad South Carolina the all on the first
day of SEC Football Media Days andOld miss and then you also had the
Commissioner, Greg Sankie, who visitedwith us yesterday on the program yesterday also
(06:56):
you had Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennesseeand George and then today Texas, Florida,
Alabama and Mississippi State. And tomorrowit will be Arkansas, Auburn,
Kentucky and Texas A and M.And I imagine there's going to be a
lot of curious folks trying to findout about, you know, how the
Aggies, about how they feel aboutthis new world. And they've got their
(07:20):
own new world with Mike Elko ashead coach. And that's the funny part,
you know, Kraik, Everybody looksaround and everybody wants to know about
Texas Texas, Texas and an Aand M is sitting there. Well we've
made some things different too, solet's see what's next. I mean,
there's a huge coaching change when youthink about jimbo Fisher and how the search
went and for them to arrive toMike Elko. Well, I'll talk to
(07:45):
Billy Luci about it. He said. Mike Elko was on the staff.
He knows what it's like to beat Texas A and M. And he
knows how important that twelfth Man trulyis for that university. So I'll be
shocked if Mike Elko doesn't take acouple jabs if asked it really, Oh
no, why not? Because he'salso said we're the flagship university in one
(08:07):
of his press conferences before. Yeah. Yeah, of course that was safely
in wsconsin Lebrassval exact. Might herepeat those words here in a grand ballroom
that has so many media spread outnot only across the contiguous states that howls
(08:28):
the sixteen members of the Southeastern Conference, but also national media, a lot
of national media. Well that's whythey're here. They want to get something
to write about. And we'll seehow that rolls tomorrow. All right,
Coming up next, Well, likeI said, we were going to bring
you conversations with long worn players aswell. Just a little while ago,
right before we went on air,Harge and I had the opportunity to visit
(08:50):
with the three long worn football playershere here. So we'll bring you those
conversations individually, starting off with theguy I referred to is the anchor.
He is of the offensive line,junior Kelvin Banks. So he's going to
be a preseason All American and sowe'll we'll hear our conversation with Kelvin Banks
