Speaker 1 (00:02):
Andrews ill will hanging out with you this Monday, A
reaction Monday to a weekend full of sporting stories. Later
in the hour, Dionne Sanders. Have you ever heard of him? Yeah,
coach Prime. He's saying that the uh, the stories that
were coming out during the NFL Draft were not fair
and did hurt the stock of Chadoor, who went later
(00:25):
in the draft than many people expected. So we'll hear
from coach standers and react to what he has to say.
And you know, I tend to agree with him. I
think the reports were maybe a little unfair to Shador,
But at the same time, you now have an opportunity
to compete against some of the best in the world,
including let me get this right, yeah, Deshaun Watson and
Dylan Gabriel h Hopefully, if Shador is all his advertised
(00:46):
he will be the Week one starter in Cleveland. It's
not super great competition.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'm gonna bypass on Joe Flacco like that.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
He's elite. What can I say?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Right, But the story of the week, the story of
the day, the story of the weekend, the story of
all time is University of Texas UT going down to
your UTSA Roadrunners.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
This weekend, delvog will be off with the pitch. Here's
the three two win with a breaking all kind of
looker locked up for Loon.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
And UTSA picked up the victory against the Longhorns.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Nine to seven.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You can make cases the best three game straight stretch
of UTSA baseball historically. This is the fourth time or
fourth season in a row with thirty plus wins, the
second time in program history. You can put that in
the record book. First time that they make it to
the Super Region. Let's talk Friday ten to two win
against Kansas State, beat the tar of the Wildcats, Big
(01:46):
twelve who UTSA running through Saturday. This is where things
get a little wild. Big win. You go up against
number two ranked Texas the Longhorns in their own home,
and uts they said, hey, we'll take that. They went
in and burglarized nine to seven, and this is the win.
I would argue this is the biggest win of the season,
(02:08):
the nine to seven win on Saturday, where you come
back and you show out and you show resiliency.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Earlier in the season there.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Were times where UTSA had resiliency, no kidding, right going
to the tournament.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
They win it. They do what they do.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You feel good about this team coming into this tournament,
coming into Austin. I do a lot of UTSA fans
who were in the know, who'd been keeping up with
the team local media. I'm talking to some of the
guys behind the scenes. They're saying to me, Hey, Zimmel,
don't get too high and mighty on that long horn
kool a, that burnt orange kool aid you're drinking up
there in Austin on the zone. Don't get too crazy
(02:42):
because UTSA is built for June. UTSA is built for
the playoffs. They have an excellent head coach, they have
an excellent senior class. Patrick Hallmark, the head coach over there,
he's doing the Lord's works them.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Well, you don't understand.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
You're not locked in on uts say baseball the way
you need to your little bob kitties.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
You know, we saw what they did this year. It
was cute.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
They went to Austin, got the win. But UTSA is
going into the Austin region. They're bringing in their roadrunner
magic and they're gonna make the Longhorns look like Wili Coyote.
All right, And that's exactly what happened. You were doubting
them early. You thought, hey, you go down by a
couple runs, what is that gonna look like? Well, you
go down by a couple can you battle back? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
They did.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
They got the job done, a nine to seven win. Runs,
four runs of the fifth, three runs of the sixth.
They looked good. No, they looked great. I loved what
they did on that Saturday night. And then you Longhorns
have to come back, right. You get a little bit
of a black guy against Utsa, a team that you
might consider little brother, even though you lost to them twice.
(03:46):
I don't know why you would even say that, But
you lost them in the regular season, you lose them
in first round. They have to circle back around. They
take on a Kansas State team. They mollywop Kansas State.
All right, cool, now it's showdown. Now, it's winner take
off for loll ut ut had to win that game
on Sunday, and they didn't. It was all Roadrunner, it
(04:09):
was all Utsa.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
That is right. Longhorns struggled.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
They gave up seven runs early five, and the third
never looked back more. Norris mccullor sparked the offense with
two run home run in the first. He finished three
for five, a pair of extra base hits, three RBIs
UTSA and this is what you loved to see UTSA
bat around two winnings later to cap off their outburst.
(04:39):
As a sports fan, those are some of the best
words that you can see as a baseball fan, even
right you're watching it and you go like, hey, didn't
I already see this guy hit this inning?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And for those fans, and I shout out to.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
The UTSA fans, we were able to get up there
for the Sunday game because I think I saw one
guy tweet I think it was our friend Carl Showing
tweeted that I think they opened up the tickets like
ten pm on Saturday, and then by ten oh two
it was like sold out. The UTSA had gotten all
of the take. They all were up there, and I
was watching some of my friends, some of the Instagram
followers I have who were in the building, who were
(05:13):
at the dish watching their team, rooting their team on.
And if you are a UTSA fan, if you're not
and you're listening, you should be jump on the bandwagon.
We love a good front runner story and this is
what UTSA is at this point, Like they're going into
the super Region. You can go get your polo, you
can go get your T shirt, and we're gonna accept you.
Come on the bandwagon, join us in the fun. That's
(05:35):
what we need to be saying. I'm a big Shane.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
You're laughing at me, laughing because like you say, like,
oh yeah, come join us in the bandwagon.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Like you didn't you were the first one to jump
the bandwagon.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Hey, after that beat against Texas. I'll be honest, I
know some Texas fans who are on the bandwagon now.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
When you watch the game against Texas, the final one
when they were have seven to one going into the eighth,
and then they had that one run come in, and
then and then in the in the ninth, I was
a little nervous because they are they had brought in
two runs at that point make it seven to four.
I watched earlier in the day because I watched a
lot of baseball because I was I was already here. Vanderbilt,
(06:09):
the presume number one for the presume favorite to win
it all this year. Not only did they lose the
right state, they actually had they actually had the bases
loaded at one point they were down five to one
in the bomb of the knife, and they had allowed
rights had allowed three runs in the in the final inning,
and so until eventually a sack fly ended at all.
And so I was wondering as UTSA about to be
like the sacrificial lambo. No, I didn't want them to be.
(06:31):
By the way, speaking of guys who were at the game,
did you see what road runner inside or J J.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Perez tweeted during the Kansas State game.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
No, he was tweeting, how there are guys in the
press box sand is there a run rule?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Wow? Yeah, you know, when those murmurs start running through
the press box, things get a little wacky. I have
to admit, though, if I was driving down from Manhattan, Kansas,
I would have enjoyed Austin. This is where if you're
a media insider, your guy who's covering Kansas State, you're
getting that hotel room from like Thursday night to Sunday.
I'm just enjoying Austin that point, I'm probably going out
(07:03):
enjoying my time, getting some good barbecue and joining the
scenes of Austin. But look, I'll ride, I'll drive the
bandwagon if I need to, I will drive the UTSA
Baseball bandwagon because I saw, like I said, I saw
Texas fans who I'm intimately knowledgeable of. I know that
the I know the Longhorn fan very very well. In fact,
(07:23):
I would argue, I'm like Jane Goodall, I know them
better than they know themselves at this point, Like I am.
I have been in the I've been on the ranch,
I've been with the Longhorns. I know what's going through
their heads. And yeah, they're all softball fans now, but
I know a couple of baseball guys who are all
the UTSA. They're they're saying, Hey, if it's not gonna
be us, yeah, we're gonna lick our wounds. We'll be
back next year. Slasnaigle has it covered. Win's the coach
(07:45):
of the year in the SEC. They win the SEC
and year number one, they're feeling okay, they're feeling fine.
They'll be fine, They'll it'll all bounce back. But for
UTSA like this, these are the wins that matter. These
are the wins that matter, not all only for those
of you who are wearing the orange polo to church,
not only those of you who are now beating your
(08:06):
chest in the cubicle farm, who are telling your co
workers who were Sam Houston State fans and Texas State
fans and long worn and Aggy fans, Hey, how's your team?
And tech fans for Shane, how's your team doing? That
is always my favorite dig. My favorite dig is when
your team goes a little bit further in March madness,
a little bit further in the baseball tournament or in
bowl season, and you go, hey, how's your team do
(08:29):
this weekend?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Hey? What where were where were you guys at?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Did you catch your road running game on Sunday? You
catch a catch a the beating? You watch that? That's
my favorite thing. Bowl season. If you're if you have
a friend who didn't make a bowl game, if your
team did make the bowl game, you ask him, hey,
what bull game are you in?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
That's right, How's how's March Madness going for you?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
You're in the CBI this year? Oh? Hey you see
the Austin Regional. Oh you guys didn't make it this year.
Oh I was watching my team win and that's on me,
My bad.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I'm loving it. No, it's great. It's you need to
do that.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And for the people who are online who tweet, I
mean because I'm mister Bobcat, I'm Texas State Sports Press.
I get it. I'm I am willing to bury the hatchet.
I'm willing to tie the rags. I'm willing to come
out here and drive the band wagon because I've not
seen a lot of you doing it. So if there's
a vacancy in the driver's seat, I'll do it UCLA
this Friday, and I'm going with UTSA. I like the momentum,
(09:27):
I like this head coach, I like this team. And
if it's not going to be a team from Texas,
I'm gonna I'm gonna put on my Longhorned hat, or
not even.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
My long horn hat.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I'm gonna put on my Texas hat, my red, white
and blue star hat. Okay, lone star, lone star hat.
Here's what I'm doing. If it's not my team, might
as well be a team from Texas. If it's not
gonna be the Longhorns or the Aggie's or Texas State,
might as well be UTSA, and might as well get
the momentum going. And for the people who are in
the city of San Antonio who are casual baseball fans
(09:56):
at the best root for your team, for the city.
Like I said, I was driving on to eighty one
coming back from the valley. This weekend, the big billboard
when UTSA wins, san Antonio wins, and when San Antonio wins,
that means those guys out in California don't win. If
you're if you're watching on Friday as they take it
on the Bruins. So I'm here for it UTSA Ucla
(10:18):
this Friday, and I am more than excited.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
This is I have a rooting interest.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Now I'm paying attention to college baseball now that my
team's out, UT's out.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
E and M.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I don't even know if they have a baseball program anymore,
Like we need to do a quick little status report
on that. How's that baseball team do it?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I had to call her fan Andrew Monico that because
I know I think they they did okay, but obviously
not to the level they made last year. Remember last
year they lost to Tennessee in the finals. I know, shit,
and then they that's why this is funny. You're laughing
at them for that? Yeah yeah, wait wait, so so
A and M didn't have a successful year.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Then A M was the number one look pre seeded
team and then lost I think ten straight and not
only lost the UTSA, but lost of Tech State.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So ANAM didn't have a successful year.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I would say they did not.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Well, then why did Texas have a successful year?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Because Texas made the tournament?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Shane but that but that's not that's irrelevant. They were,
they were a championship favorite.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Do you credit someone just forgetting they're as opposed to
like getting where they're supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I'm gonna credit in the Longhorns for making it to
that point, for winning Coach of the Year and for
winning their conference.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
What are we talking about? What are we talking about?
All right, I'll tell you what we are.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Top five point guard runs the last twenty five years.
Tony Parker's in that conversation, who else is? And what
can SGA and Tyres Halliburton do in the finals to
get into that conversation? All coming up next and you
