Speaker 1 (00:00):
Updating the baseball going on right now. Astros and Tigers
are scoreless as the Astros bats with the leadoff man aboard.
I said that, and he's now forced out at second.
Tigers weren't able to get the double play, and in
fact the man sliding in the second once a review,
he thinks that the out wasn't recorded, even though the

(00:22):
umpire says it happened on the transfer as Spencer Gats
was pulling the ball out of the glove. So I
don't know if they're going to review that or not.
But anyway, it is scoreless between the Tigers and the
Astros in Game two. Yeah, there's no doubt it. It
was on the transfer. Looking at a replay there, so
one out will be recorded and the Astros will still

(00:44):
have a runner at first base with one out. We'll
keep you updated on the baseball the other the other
game getting ready to start Baltimore and Kansas City. Detroit
is now making a pitching change with a runner at
first in one out, so we'll see how that goes.
No score and that is in the bottom half of

(01:05):
the fifth inning. Tiger's winning yesterday three to one behind
Tarik Skuball, who's proven was this year anyway, the best
starting pitcher in all of baseball League won Baseball's Pitching
Triple Crown wins E ra A and strikeouts. So the
Astros backed into a corner and they have to figure

(01:27):
out from there. All right, let's hear from long orange
Head football coach Steve Sarkisia. Now this is going to
be from the SEC teleconference. Remember Sark did his news
conference on Monday. Because this is an open date week
on the schedule. They're bye week on the schedule. There

(01:48):
are no more media availabilities local for Sark Like normally
on Thursdays he does a media zoom with the local
there's player availabilities, none of that stuff on this open date.
Only the news conference sat on Monday. However, the SEC
has a man Data teleconference where every coach is on
it every week regardless of whether they're playing or not.

(02:11):
So that applied to Texas also applied to Oklahoma. Remember
the Sooners are going through an open date on the
schedule this week as well, leading up to the two
teams meeting in Dallas a week from the Saturday in
the All state Red River Rivalry matchup, and our coverage
will begin at eleven thirty from the Fairgrounds of the

(02:32):
State of text We'll actually be up there on Friday
with coverage and then from the Fairgrounds on Saturday morning
with Longhorns game Day coverage with an inclusive of Cameron
Parker and Mike Hardbollharge and Mark Henry from the fairgrounds
at the State Fair of Texas. So they'll get to

(02:53):
sit out there in the open while the Sooner fans
walk by and flip them off and stuff like that.
That's a regular, regular behavior there, and I should point
out they are longer fans who go buy and flip
off the Oklahoma game day broadcast teams that are on
the on the field, and this is part of that
whole deal.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
You know.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I can remember for years, and I do mean years,
if you asked uh Texas people. One of the one
of the humorous things, whether it was Mac Brown or
long worn players, they talk about riding in on that
bus and seeing these like eighty something year old grandma's
flipping them off from the fairgrounds or little kids flipping

(03:32):
them off for the fair grounds. And then I would
go up and I'd cover the Oklahoma news conference and
Bob Stoops was the coach back then, and he would say,
yeah that Texas, oklah th oh you Texas week is
something pretty special. Get there and those fans are, you know,
their behaviors pretty special. They're they're flipping the off and
telling you who's number one and all that. So they
experienced it also from their side as well. It's part

(03:54):
of the victory. All that happens between Longhorns and Sooners.
It just works that way. That's just how that is.
But anyway, it's an open date this week for Boath
Texas and Oklahoma. So Long Worn's head coach Steve Sarkisian
asked for some opening thoughts and comments about his team
coming out of the win over Mississippi State and going

(04:16):
into the bye week.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, it's always great going into a bye coming off
with victory, you know, having started the season the way
we had. It's good to be undefeated. But naturally you
endure some of the bumps and bruises and things that
that all teams endure. And so I think the buy
is coming out a really good time for us to

(04:38):
get some guys healthy, to refresh out of our minds
and our bodies, to get ready for another kind of
three game block in the season here coming up here
in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Now, because this is an open date on the schedule
and a bye week for Texas, the time that they
were going to keep Sark on the SEC Teleconference was
going to be short. It wasn't going to be very long.
So I don't know if he was puzzled by the
answered the question. Fine, but remember this is the SEC

(05:10):
Teleconference is a national call, so writers, in broadcasters, media
from across the country can dial in and they can
ask a question. So they're all welcome to do that.
They can do that. As you might imagine, the preponderance

(05:31):
of the media participating in this thing are going to
be from SEC markets and outlets, and that includes in
the Deep South, and it certainly include the state of Alabama.
So the first question that Sart got was not about
his football team, but it was about the team they

(05:54):
beat last year and the quarterback they beat last year,
Jalen Milroe of Alabama, who, of course Jalen is native Texan,
played at Katie Tompkins but and had originally committed to
Texas before quinn Ewers transferred in and then Milroe changed
his commitment ended up going to Alabama and Milroe has
really progressed and had a big game last Saturday night
in Tuscal loose against Georgia. So Sark was asked for

(06:16):
his thoughts going all the way back when he was
recruiting Milroe, when he was still on the Alabama staff
and what he has seen Jalen Milroe accomplish and progress
in his time as Alabama's quarterback.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, we had Jalen in camp at Alabama and uh,
great kid, great parents, obviously got athleticism was there, the
arm talent was there.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
I've give him a lot of credit. You know, he
really working with developed into the revers the player. You know,
he just doesn't rely on athleticism. He's a great de
ball passer, extend plans in his arm, extend plenties, use
his legs.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
They use him for direct run.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
So, uh, you know, you haven't a win thinking ki
it could be early on in his high school career
and then to watch it kind.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Of come to fruition.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I guess I'm happy for him, but I also validate
some of the things that you see and that you're
looking for and the next prop of guys coming up.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
That's a good point too. Because those were the things
that they were looking for from Jalen Milroe. And remember
he had his stumbles and growing pains early on, and
he drew a lot of heat after Texas beeed Alabama
in that game last year in September in Tuscalusa. But
he's come a long way since. He helped guide Alabama
to the College Football Playoff, the SEC championship in College

(07:35):
Football Playoff berth and now he's the quarterback of the
number one team in the country and the AP pole
number two in the coaches, Texas number two and the
AP number one in the coaches. It's that close right now.
We'll hear more from Logrorns head coach Steve Sarkashan a
little later on in the program. We've got some other
topics we'll get to. We'll update the baseball for you
