Texans Ahead of Schedule

Craig and I take a look around the NFL in this segment and discover why most of us are fans of a certain team. Would you jump ship if they were doing bad enough? 

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, we have one more hour of the program, the
updating the baseball for you. Right now, Houston and Detroit
tied at two. Tiger's batting with the bases loaded and
two outs on the top of the eighth inning. Most
of the scoring has happened late in this contest. In fact,
a basis loaded walk? Is that what? It was? A

(00:22):
basis loaded walk issued by Josh Is that well? I said, no,
I guess it was just time called out of that.
So the base is still loaded with two outs. Yeah,
it was a basis loaded walk, and the Tigers have
taken the lead again. It's three to two. Josh Hater
just issued a basis loaded walk with two outs in
the eight Spencer Torklesen drew the walk and has just

(00:43):
gone on the first base in Detroit has now gone
back in front of Houston. It is three to two.
Is the Tiger's bat in the top of the eighth
inning with two outs, and that against Josh Hater, the closer.
So that's what's happened in this game. I say it
was a basis loaded walk. Torklesen went down the first
back had just loaded the bases there and the graphic
headed walks to the bases are still too two. Sorry

(01:05):
and mena Panicastros fans there watching on a very very
small monitor and it didn't have the out indicator listed
on there. They do now. It's still just two two.
It's not a three to two boggame. It's two two.
The bases are loaded now though, as Josh Hater issued
a two outwalk, so Tiger still batting two to two.
Top of the eighth, two outs. Kansas City continues to

(01:28):
leave Baltimore. It's one to nothing as the Royals lead
the Ools. That's in the top of the second inning
and that contest at the Oriel Park at Camden Yards,
So we'll keep you updated on those Loalgworts head coach
Steve Sarkisian took part in the SEC teleconference today and
one of the questions that he was asked was about

(01:51):
the thing about learning to play with emotion but not
play emotion is It's something we've heard sark mentioned quite
a bit in the past. He says, we want our
guys to play with emotion, but we don't want them
to play emotionally, and he explained how he came into
that mindset, Like with so many other things, all roads

(02:11):
lead back to Nick Saban.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I had a hard time putting it into words. O
Saban more eloquently used this term that I'm referencing that
I kind of took with me because it really resonated
with me. I didn't know how to say it, but
I knew what he was meaning. And then once he
said it the way that he said it, like I said,
it resonated with me. And I've kind of carried it
with me ever since.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Okay, all right, that was That was one thing, and
then one other question he was asked. And there is
a lot of experience in this, and it's all about
the backup quarterback. When Sartan played at BYU, really, even
when he played at El Comuno Community College in California,
he had been a backup quarterback and then and then

(02:55):
had a great sophomore season. Then he went to BYU
and rolled in initially as a backup and then became
the starter and had a great finish to his collegiate
career at BYU. Since he has been the head coach
at Texas, he has had to turn to the backup
quarterback on several occasions. That has happened as well. So

(03:18):
because of that, it has been a situation where he's
you know, you think about it when he had had
some card on back and Casey Thompson was there and
all of that sort of thing. And of course since
Quinn yours has been the starter, he's had to turn
to the backup quarterback, but that was due to injury
Malik Murphy having to come on for Quinn the last

(03:42):
couple of seasons and then of course earlier the season
Arch Manning having to step in when Quinn was injured.
So he was asked about that and about getting the
backup quarterback's reps so that they can be well prepared
for the eventuality if he has to go to a
backup quarterback.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
And when I was a starter, I never wanted to
backup to coming to the game, even for a play.
And I remember my senior year of college, I have
been banged up and the coaches wanted to run a
quarterback draw.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Honey, you're not.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
They called the play, and they called the play and
I scored a touchdown. So you know, I've got respect
for a guy who's the starting quarterback and the rhythm
that it's needed to play with. So no, that's not
something I've ever entertained.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay, so there it is, and some thoughts there from
Loren's head coach Steve Sarkishan. Okay. In Houston, it has
been broken open, at least for the moment. A big
two out bases clearing double. My pinch hitter Andy Abanyez

(04:57):
has cleared off the bases and the Tigers have taking
a five to two lead on the Astros. Astros just
recorded the final out of the inning, but at Banyez
with a basis clearing double to score three runs, and
the Astros are down to six outs left in their
season right now, going to the bottom of the eight.
Tigers up five to two, having one game one yesterday

(05:17):
three to one. We'll keep you updated on that, all right.
Coming up next, we'll visit with the play by play
voice of the Houston Texans, Mark vandermir to talk about
the Texans and their battles in the AFC South. That's
next when we continue here on this Wednesday afternoon on
