Huh boy, it was a goodiet.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I don't know of anybody else I could have introduced
you to Bled, but I tried to get them all.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
There's about i'd say seven or eight of them.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I bat, including you, and including most of the guys
that we do the post game show with and go
on Friday night ten thirty and met Deve Mark and
this was about everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I had to introduce myself. Glad Mark didn't. Yeah, yeah,
Martin didn't introduce.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Well, you wasn't there when we were making arounds. He
met the mayor, he met the superintendent, he met he
met a good mini people, which Mayor m Well, Mayor Fuller,
and Mayor Fuller was not there. He was out of town.
So Mayor Andrews, he bet you met Superintendent Herring, didn't you, glad?
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Oh, I don't, Jeff, I don't think I can hear
you very well?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
All right, glad? He didn't talk. There you go? Yeah,
where you go? I said, I had to introduce myself.
Martin didn't introduce you to me. Well you wouldn't. I
saw it. I said, you're glad, right, and he said, yes.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
You wasn't there when we were Yeah, yeah, he wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
As you start reading credentials, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
He wasn't there, was he glad? When we were making
a rounds? All right, tell me what you thought of
the game, glad. We just had coach more On. Give
me your thoughts of the game.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Well, I'll tell you what ople ike and brush the
heck out of me. I didn't think, you know, And
in the back of my head, I was thinking that
game was going to be a blowout.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
That Auburn was going to.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Take care of business, but Obleikah really got the offense going.
You know, they they would anytime they need to get
need a big play, they'd give it to number thirty.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
That that big old.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Fact they have. And then he was able to rumble
for some yards. But you know, with all the talents
I thought Auburn offense had and having Oban baps and
I thought Opalika's defense really stole the show for me
this game, and they kept that team in that game.
And then I remember Oplekah tied it up touchdown in
the west corner of the end zone, and then literally
(02:44):
the next play, Auburn right down the field hitting their
receiver number seven for what seemed to be an eighty
to seventy five yard touchdown. Auburn takes the lead, Opelikah
tries to drive fifth in the air, picked off Auburn
went And it could have gone either way, guys, It
really could have gone either way. And at the end,
(03:06):
it was just who was going to make the big play,
and it was Auburn in the end.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
It was Auburn all the way. Yeah, I you know,
would you have the way that we're runningould you have
to keep it on the ground.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Well, I think I think Clark was picking uh.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Jeff here, trying to coach. I mean, that's what you do, man.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
No, go ahead, Yeah you had.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I think you'd have to start throwing a little bit
eventually because you want to maybe come back to that
run later in the red zone. But you know, I
thought the call was good. I just thought that Auburn's
call was better. Ye, the way that they're uh yeah,
their player number twenty five, The way he made that
play hipping it up in the air himself and intercepting
to himself. You know that it's.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Something you see some of the best dressers in the
NFL do.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah, it was fun to watch.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
That was That was the first taste of the rivalry
for me.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
And you know, just how packed out the student sections were,
and you know how many you know, important people were
at that game, because that is a big game and
no matter it feels like, no matter how the teams
are doing record wise, outside of that game, you all
grew up alike, a game will always be you know, close,
it will always be It's sort of like an iron
(04:30):
goal is the best, Like, you know, reference I had
that game.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
You know, what that's a good I was going to
ask what you thought about it coming in from another
part of the state, and you just kind of sum
that up.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
What about the crowd?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
What do you think about the whole environment?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Well, me going me going into this. You know, it
seemed like, you know, Thompson Hoover was the only rivalry
game that ever existed. This isn't true, but it's because
I have, like I haven't experienced you know, ws Neil T. R. Miller,
I didn't experience I'll burn up Alaika until now. But
I mean that was I mean, there's more people there
(05:11):
than a Thompson Hoover game.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
That yep.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
You know, it's an atmosphere that you know, I haven't
I haven't.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Seen in a while.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
You know, I remember going back to the twenty twenty
one state championship that I played in and the Protective
Stadium and it seemed like the entire home side was
filled up. And that's the really what it looks like
at Duck Sanfords Stadium. And you know, that's the best
one that I've been through this year. I want to
go back.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
I want to go see what it's going to be
like in Opelaika because I know it's going to be
really good there as well.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's gonna be very similar, I would think. Usually is
it's always packed. You know, we've had you know, there's
some there's always some some games that always brought a
lot of people. Trappell was one. I can remember, gosh,
probably fifteen twenty years ago that they couldn't get tickets
and they were on top of pickup trucks outside the
trees and looking over the fence and watching the game.
(06:10):
Just things like that. And you know, think about all
the Thursday night games we had this week. We said
it on earlier, so they could have got a ticket
because they were sold out before at least got moved there.
That was like Wednesday when they decided to do that.
So h a lot of those games they didn't have
time time to get a ticket. Of course it wouldn't
(06:30):
have been.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
He posted something about the wayside being all filled up
and I was like, oh wow, this thing's selling quick.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Then it was fully sold out multiple days.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
The athlete dere coach Norton sent me an emails said,
please tell everybody, do not come to that stadium looking
for a ticket when we're supposed to have a cash gate,
but we don't have anything to say it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Sure did it, Sure did, all right, So we're glad
to have you there. I was glad that you came
and watched it. Glad good coverage.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Give me some other games across Alaban we had, like
that was the only one it was for us, but man,
we had some local teams right here that did where well.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Give me some state wide.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Attention that you saw or you didn't see, but you
know about Friday night.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah. Absolutely. I think the first game we have to
talk about is probably Hoover and the way that they
dismantled Hillcrest Tuscaloosa. And I spoke on this on the
postgame show as well, But Hoover won that football game
thirty five to six. This is the Hillcrest Tuscalusive team
that made it to the sixth age semifinals last year.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
And I think this.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Tells us a few things. But the most important thing
is that the region that Hillcrest Tuscalusa played in last
year is not the region of playing in this year. No,
you go from your sixth A I say, Tuscalalosa area
where you're gonna play Paul Bryant. You know where you're
gonna play Central Tuscaloosa, and now you've got to play
(07:56):
Thompson and Hoover every other week. So I think the
biggest thing this game told us Hoober Beato Chris thirty
five to six is that you know, Hoover's going to
be a good team this year. They are going to
be a good team this year, absolutely, and we shouldn't
let that Spain Park loss get us too down on them.
And that's a similar situation that I would say for
(08:18):
Auburn and Obleikah. Let's say opal Aikah one, just as
Spain Park one. I wouldn't get too low on Auburn
because it's one of those games, one of those rivalry games,
like an Iron Bowl going all the way down to
one A. You know, I'd say this is a little
outside of my Birmingham correspondent area, but McKenzie beating Elba
(08:39):
eighty to seventy eight. This game was popped up out
of nowhere, and I didn't believe it when it was
sent to me. Alvin Henderson, Auburn commit, had ten touchdowns
in one game, and I don't know what to do
with that.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
In for I don't know what to say, just what
you did.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
He had ten touchdowns one game.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Wild that's a season for some kids.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Sure, yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And then I got one more for you here, hewittt
Trustville last second touchdown, they'll be the Stavia Hills and
dropping the Stavia Hills to zero and three day win
eighteen till fourteen, and he was starting to get the
ball rolling.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
They've had some good wins here.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Blad battlesuit by my Preps with a slide on the
Hamilton Highline. You're on the mark on this Monday morning.
We're in the O p D Clinic studio. We're running
down scores and teams and games from Friday night. We
got some teams in our area doing really well.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Glad.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
The beut of Bobcats are undefeated. They play Lea Scott
this week.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
They're undefeated. Those two teams have a huge area matchup.
Boreguard had a good night the other night. Cub Jones
through for three hundred yards. So we had some big
games in our area. Glenwood's sitting over there across on
the border. They ain't thought about losing. They're they're rolling
right along, aren't they. Jeff so yeah, we've got some
(10:05):
we've got some interesting action over here, Vlad. Was there
any other games, Jeff, did you see any wanted to
ask you about?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
No? Nothing, nothing.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I thought we talked about Saturday.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Go ahead, Well, I guess one thing is that Gosh,
has Gus Shoulders won a game this year?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Coming on with championship, Yeah, they they've scheduled, they've scheduled
very hard.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Well they moved up, Yes they did, Yes they did.
And you know that's.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
That's their land game. That's that's no out of region,
that's that's the region game. And I forgot about that.
That game was also played in ten inches of mud
if you see any photos of that game. But yeah,
how about wee Scott, we'll talk about we Scott man.
I'm very impressed with what they've done. Picked up their
first ah, just a reach and win last week, say Mcglennwood,
(11:02):
like you said, I don't think Glen's even thought. I
don't do they know what a loss is. You know,
they've been very very good this season. I really like
seeing those as a schools move up and you know,
you know, Glenwood and least got both got put in
three A. And I say that, you know they're gonna
they're gonna make some noise there, you know. But yeah,
(11:25):
Montgomery Area, Carver Rolling, Bobby's got his boys going. They
beat Jag I believe, well a lot too.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
A little was the final zero. There you go, that's it.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Bobby's got them going. Montgomery's got some good teams. Uple
like has got some good teams. You know. Surrounding area
really a good area for the state because you know
that Region two you gotta go a little south to
doth In an enterprise, but mostly you know your Phoenix City, Auburn,
Opelika and now Carver Montgomery seven A Region two. We've
(12:00):
been saying it for a while. I think that they
have become the premier region in seven A.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, you may be right. The how and then, of
course we didn't talk about this game. We did earlier
coach Glenn Blackman took his enterprise wildcast to Dothan and
took care of biz.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Absolutely, you know both.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Black that said, he's he's got him a, he's got
him a defense. He's got two bona fide four star
recruits on that defense being Eric Winners and Zion Grady
the Ohio State commit. But Dothan Dothan always a year
after year. It seems like we don't know about anybody
(12:40):
who Dothan has. But they're gonna get in that single
wing and they're gonna make it a close game. I
was really impressed with the Enterprise though, you know, going
down there and winning that game.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
We you know, we got some tough matchups this week
in East Alabama. Auburn will travel to Enterprise Central will
go to yep, Dothan. So, uh, you know, the the
Enterprise Dothing game was exactly like I thought. It could
have win either way, if either either team would have
won twenty eight twenty one, I thought, okay, but uh,
this is this is a tough matchup for Auburn being
(13:12):
on the road and playing Enterprise. I think they were
at home their first three games. Now they're on the road.
Does Central had this will be two in a row
for them on the road, of course, Smith's Station.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Really, let's go back just a minute. I'm with Jeff,
this is gonna be an interesting game for ARBMN. This
is why many reasons. All right, look what they just did. Yeah, okay,
they just beat their rite in a very good football
game and a tight football game. Okay, they played three
games at home, which you know, whatever, But they're about
to go on the road to a very difficult place
(13:41):
to play. We all know that coach Blackman's done a
tremendous job resurrecting that program to where they're mentioned in
along the state.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
They We saw that last year.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
They beat Auburn right over here last year. Okay, the
shoun manic quarterback got hurt.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Okay, and I hated that. But there's you the flip side.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
He's thinking, I got to come back win this.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
So this is gonna be an interesting game, one that
Auburn certainly can win with e not with ease, but
can win. But it would not shot me. You know,
they're gonna it's gonna be they're gonna have to play
a heck of they're going to play another football game
like they did Friday night.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It'll be like it'll be like, yep, Friday Night's game.
It'll be something like that.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Yeah, I think that'll be tough to do. Like if
it's tough to get up.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
For that kind of game. Two games in a row, Yeah,
that's a lot of energy spended here in those two weeks.
And I think that, you know, like you said, Enterprise,
everything that I've heard about their environment, what coach Blackman
has done down there is top of the line. And
this is a game that Oh but I'm sorry, the
Enterprise won last year and that can't be overstated. I
(14:46):
know that Kilgore got hurt in that game, but you know,
if I had to give an early prediction, man, I
would just say watch out for Omar mAbs and Auburn's
running back number twenty nine. The way that he ran
and in that game against Okahaika, I think that's you know,
that's the type of back that can run you through
a playoffs, Oh, no doubt. And I think Omar mAbs
(15:08):
the man. Just watch out for him to have a
big game this week.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
You know what, It's a good point. He did play
really well those big did I say? Big time players
make big time plays and big time games.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
We certainly saw that.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
