Speaker 1 (00:04):
We're going to talk some football in this hour.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We're also going to talk about Wimby and what he
is doing that's got everybody's heart in their throat a
little bit, or what he did. Maybe he's not going
to do it anymore, but maybe he doesn't think that's
a problem. We'll talk about that coming up shortly as well.
We are eight weeks away from the college football season beginning.
We'll look forward to that. I think training camp is
(00:31):
going to start for most of these teams in about
three and a half to four weeks with players reporting.
Some have already done their reporting and things of that
nature as well. They're already in doing summer workouts and
those kind of things. But they'll be getting it on
for sure the first week of August. There's usually three
(00:51):
solid weeks of getting yourself in shape and then a
week to get ready for your first game. And here
we go, and the TSA football season will commence at
Texas A and M on the thirtieth of August. And
I've got some ideas and some thoughts about what this
roster is going to look like this year, and I
think offensively they are going to be dynamic, but that
(01:12):
dynamic matters more than anything else. If the offensive line
stays healthy. They have several guys coming back from last
year's team. Some of those guys got an extra year
of eligibility because of injury. It starts in the middle
with their center, Luke Lpez, who got hurt in training camp.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Last year and never played a snap. CJ.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
James went on to play in that spot and I
thought did well. But Luke is a special player and
I think he's going to be anchor that offensive line
and hopefully that shoulder situation that he had is one
hundred percent healed and he can be that center for
most of the snaps Corey got and it's back at
right guard. I think that there's some new guys that
they got on the from DJUCO and transfers, and if
(01:56):
the offensive line, the offensive line going into the training
camp is probably going to be three deep and three
guys at pretty much every position that you can play.
But somehow it doesn't take long for those guys to
get hurt, and it's going to be really important, I
think for UTSA to maintain that stuff there now. Jeff
Traylor talked about this late last year that one of
(02:18):
the things that they want to work on, and that
they're researching is ways to make sure that they have
fewer injuries on the offensive line if they can be prevented.
I don't think you can predict or manage rolled ankles
and knee injuries and those kind of things. But they
are paying very close attention to nutrition, how players have
(02:39):
worked out in the past, if there's a better way
to do that, when they eat, what they eat, how
they do that, how they maintain weight. A lot of
that's being done as athletes are allowed to be in
school the year round. Many of them are in classes
throughout the summer, so that during the football season they
don't have as big a workload and in the spring
(02:59):
and summer they can take a little bit more. So
that'll be the key I think for the offense. Owen
mccowan's obviously the quarterback, and I would say on day one,
not only is he definitely going to be a single
digit guy, he was number two last year and if
he wants to keep number two, I'm guessing he could
have it.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
If he wants zero or one or zero. JT.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Clark will still get number one, and I don't think
JT's going to play this year, but I do think
he's going to be there in support of the team,
and this will be his final year of eligibility. I'm
just not convinced that that need's ever going to get
to the point to where it was prior to the
injury against UAB way back in twenty twenty two. But
(03:42):
I think Owen's definitely the leader of this team, and
the backup quarterback is likely Gilmer's Brandon Tennyson and obviously
didn't play for Jeff but played at the same high school.
And they've got a couple of others, Dimitrius Davis. I
could see some special he's put in for him as
kind of a wildcat back from time to time, but
(04:06):
we'll see Owen at that spot. They've got several running backs,
and again, running backs is one of those positions where
you can only play two and then kind of getting
a third guy from time to time. Getting the Juco
rule lifted for both Willie McCoy and for Robert Henry
McCoy at wide receiver, but Henry at running back I
(04:26):
think makes a big deal. You've got experience running back
that knows the offense, and you've got a really fast
little bit smaller running back in Will Henderson that I
think can do some damage in that backup roll. And
we'll see if I'm Marion Peterson and others. Peterson's the
guy that transferred from USC. There's gonna be a lot
of battles to see who plays the bulk of those
(04:46):
snaps at wide receiver. UTSA I think is becoming tight
end University. Oscar Cardinis moves on. But the tight end
is very important in the Jeff Trailer offense. And they
got probably three and now a fourth guy that I
would say is it's gonna make a big difference. Houston,
(05:08):
Thomas Patrick, O'vermeyer, and Dan Dishman will be the ones
that get the book of the rotation. Devin Skurra got
a cup of coffee on a couple of series last year,
So your tight end spot's got depth in it. And
then they've got twelve wide receivers and they'll probably only
play five or six for the most part, but they've
got a ton of wide receivers. Devin McEwans back there,
so offensively, this is going to be a fun, fun unit.
(05:32):
And like the defense last year, the TSA and the
especially in the beginning of the year Sands the Texas
State game could kind of count on the success of
a veteran defense, And I would even say in the
Texas State game it was the offense that got the
defense in trouble to where it was really hard for
them to handle the onslaught that the Bobcats had in
(05:52):
that game up in San Marcus. But offensively, I think
this is going to be a fun unit to watch.
They're gonna score a lot of points, and they got
a ton of depth.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Well, I think there's also one position that you didn't
bring up, Andy that is still very crucial.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Uh is do they have a kicker? Has head?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I'm gonna I haven't got the special teams yet. That's
on the list in a little bit. And the question
is the answer is they have candidates, But are they
going to be as consistent as Tate Sandel was? And
they lost both Tate's Sandel too, right, Yeah, but they
were able to recruit a they were able to get
a transfer long snapper coming in, so they've got a
(06:33):
guy that's been there, that's had some experience doing that.
But I I have I we'll see in training camp
how good the how the good the kicker is you
want the kicker to kick it to the out of
the end zone on kickoffs, and you need them to
be consistent from fifty and inn when it comes to
making field goals.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
So we'll see, but I think that's that's to be.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Determined well and real quick. As you were talking about,
you know, the running back situation. Obviously there's going to
be a plethora of wide receivers. But I'll look at
it from the Texas perspective. You can never have too
many running backs.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Now, you know, you never can because you don't know
how many injuries you're gonna get it a Texas did
like ls and meniscus injuries happened at the blink of
an eye.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Yeah, and it was.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
It was unfortunate to see Brandon Hyde transfer out, but
like like you said, they got the usc transfer. I
believe he was a former four star recruit as well.
So head coach Jeff Trailer, you can never have too
many pieces, especially in the offensive perspective of I can
never have too many potential weapons to use, because you
(07:35):
can if they buy into the philosophy and the thing
that is established here at UTSA, the culture. Hey, it's
not just about you it's about the team. If you
can put your ego aside, we're gonna give you ten,
maybe ten fifteen carries a game. But this way you're
always gonna be fresh. We can rotate you guys out
and boom boom boom boom.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
The defense is the question mark this year because on
opening day, whoever the eleven guys that go on the
field for that first game against Texas A and M
will have never started a game. They're going to have
eleven new starters. Now that doesn't mean that they haven't played,
because they still have a lot of guys who have played.
They just don't have any starters. And if I look
(08:19):
at the way I look at UTSA, there's three units
on defense, it's our maybe four. There's defensive line, inside linebackers,
outside linebackers, defensive backs, and the defensive line. They always
play and rotate eight to nine guys, and at least
seven of the nine guys that are likely to be
rotated have had experience playing. Damian Wimberley comes to mind
(08:43):
as a guy that got a scoop and score last
year in.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
The Tulsa game.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
They do lose a really really good player in Brandon Brown.
I'm surprised, I haven't I know he didn't get drafted.
I'll see if he makes a roster or a practice
squad at defensive tackle. But they have a lot of
guys that are coming back there, and then they had
a couple of guys that transferred out. But the defensive
line still has guy Ty Leonards back. He has not started,
(09:08):
but he may start this year depending on how his
health is. So I think they've got some really good
some good looks at the defensive line inside linebacker. They
lose Martavia's French. And it's interesting with the Martavius French
situation is when he was on one of the radio
shows with us last year, he was getting ready for
Pro Day and then he was one of those players
(09:30):
that got the benefit of well, your junior college years
no longer count, so now we can potentially have you
come back and play. And then Colorado jumped in with
a big nil offer for him, and so I don't
take anything away from him taking that money and moving on.
But they've got depth at those positions, and they've got
depth of the secondary. Overall, the defense is going to
(09:52):
be the question mark until they prove they can get
stops and UTSA has a streak and I have to
go back and look, but I think it's twenty two
games in a row now where they've gotten at least
one takeaway and maybe more than that. Oh yeah, that
will be a key going into every game that they play,
and especially the the Texas State game, the Incarnate Word
game in Colorado State, those three non conference games as
(10:15):
soon as the as soon as that A and M
game is over with. If I look at the schedule,
I think in the in the conference games, they don't
have to play Memphis, so that's that's good. They do
have to play two lane, but they get them at
home where they're twenty nine to three and they're tenure
under Jeff Trailer. They do have to go on the
(10:36):
road to South Florida, and I don't know what to
make of South Florida. Sometimes they're really good, sometimes they're not.
But in the games that UTSA has played South Florida,
they've come up on they've come up on top and there.
And they do get to play an Army team this
year that is has lost a lot of its players
from last year. Unfortunately, they don't get to play Army
until the last game of the season when all of
(10:59):
the undercaren we'll have eleven games of experience going in
to the UTSA game, So that could be a game
that decides whether UTSA goes to the conference championship or
not in the non conference season. And I guarantee you
Jeff's going to talk about this when we do when
when he has that Incarnate Word week, and the Incarnate
(11:21):
Word Week is Week three, and Carnate Word got to
the semifinals last year in FCS. They lost at North
Dakota State in third thirty below weather up in North
Dakota in December. I remember watching that game when we
were up there for basketball and it was cold outside
and it was I guess they played South I think
(11:41):
they played South Dakota State and they they got They
got beat there because it was more than one of
those weather games that people from Texas would rather or
not talk about, but don't.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I don't think in Cardate Word has enough.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It doesn't have the depth that UTSA has, but what
they have is very talented and it would kind of
put their team on the map to beat to beat UTSA,
and especially in a building where UTSA rarely loses, So
there will be some a major attention to detail, and
anytime that you play an FCS team on your schedule,
(12:16):
and especially if that FCS team has been good in
the past, and especially if they're in the same city
that you are, you know what that game means to them.
That will be incarnate word's most important game of the
season until they get back into the Deceimber run for
the playoffs. So that's not going to be an easy game.
And as Jeff said last year about Kennesaw State, they're
(12:38):
going to be better than you want them to be.
And I think that Texas State is not going to
be a pushover, and neither its Colorado State. But all
of those first four games are going to be a
lot more difficult than people think, and UTSA really needs
to win those games, at least three of those four
if they're going to have a chance to be considered
(12:58):
for the CFP.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Should they have a good conference season. Yeah, I'm trying
to find it. I remember, I know it's at least
like eighteen or nineteen, because I know we had one
promo where you're like, there's the takeaway from oh.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Who was it?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
It was you? Who was your corner this year? That
Jay Fraser, Yeah, Zay Fraser, there you go. I want
to say it's at least like eighteen or nineteen. It
might be a little bit longer. I think the Iowa
Hawkeyes right now have the longest that I believe it's
twenty two. So I'm still trying to find that good
(13:36):
old AI is not giving me.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It's twenty two straight games, I believe. Once they when
they got the interception in the uh in the ballgame
against Coastal Carolina, that was their twenty second consecutive game
with the takeaway they've all and then that particular game
they also had a sack. So there's I think they've
gone twenty two games in a row with the takeaway.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Yeah, well it's that's not the long The longest is
your your your sooners I believe at forty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, there's ways to go. Yeah, and and there's a
good chance, Oh you may build on that before anybody
else gets closer to it.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, And it's not and I'm not comparing this was
this was that was the longest. It's not active.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
That was the longest.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Streak was from fifty three to fifty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Forty Now they won every game they played during those
years too. That's when half a hundred came came into existence.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Existence. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
So you have to.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Understand when that And you learned this because I went
to college there, and I went to school there, uh
and grew up there and had had family that experienced
the dust bowl of the thirties and the depression of
after World War two. And when Bud Wilkinson became the
coach at OU, he told everybody, not only are we
(14:55):
going to win, but we're going to beat people so bad.
We're going to have something to be proud about. Because
in the fifties a lot of people from Oklahoma didn't
feel very proud about anything. They suffered a lot of
loss agriculturally, they saw they certainly economically because of the
agricultural losses. And the OU football program's existence was to
not only beat you, but to beat you by as
(15:17):
many as they possibly could. And he did not have
a problem running up to score. And that's when the
machine started. So hang half a hundred by halftime and
see what you can do in the second half.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
That's where all that started.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
But I think it's going to be a very interesting
year for UTSA. And if they can get out of
the non conference season three and one, and I know
you're thinking four and oh, and I'm hoping that's the case.
But if they can get out of the non conference
season three and one, they play Temple on the road
and they're not very good. They play Charlotte on the road.
Charlotte has struggled, although I think Charlotte's improving. But I
(15:52):
think they have a great chance to be another bowl team.
And if they they're going to have to win them all.
If they're going to beat out Boise State and Toledo
for the for that spot in the CFP. But we'll
see if they can do that.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I'm just saying I want credit in the broadcast, in
the in the final call. I want credit when when
you get to call the final score that UTSA wins
against I know you're not going to do this because
you have class.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I don't. You're not going to drop UTSA beats little Brother.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
No, I'm not. I'm not going there. But it will
be uh, it'll it'll be fun, Jeff.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
If that happens, Jeff for doctor Lisa compos will give
you a buzz and be like, Andy, did you really
call them little brother? I remember real quick as I know,
because I remember when good old Bill shooning, you know,
he talks about Harry Carey, his Harry Carey impression. I
remember there was one time when we did an I D.
It was a very relaxed game that that game we
were Spurs were winning by like twenty or something. It
(16:48):
was a complete blowout and we're having fun and Bill
tells me, you know, I'm like, hey, Bill, we got
to do an ID. And he's like, all right, give
you an ID and he does it as Harry Carey, and.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I kid you not. Ten minutes later, I get kick
from text or I get a text.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
From Mike Kick Carrillo, the senior broadcast producer for there,
and he's like, did.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Bill just do an ideas Harry Carey?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
And I was like, you damn right, he did.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
All right, let's get into Wimby's latest stuff. It looks
like his health is improving by the second, and some
are not too a little bit concerned about what he
did this past week. We'll talk about that next. It's
the Andy Everett Show on the Ticket
We're going to talk some football in this hour.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We're also going to talk about Wimby and what he
is doing that's got everybody's heart in their throat a
little bit, or what he did. Maybe he's not going
to do it anymore, but maybe he doesn't think that's
a problem. We'll talk about that coming up shortly as well.
We are eight weeks away from the college football season beginning.
We'll look forward to that. I think training camp is

on defense, it's our maybe four. There's defensive line, inside linebackers,
outside linebackers, defensive backs, and the defensive line. They always
play and rotate eight to nine guys, and at least
seven of the nine guys that are likely to be
rotated have had experience playing. Damian Wimberley comes to mind
(08:43):
as a guy that got a scoop and score last
year in.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
The Tulsa game.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
They do lose a really really good player in Brandon Brown.
I'm surprised, I haven't I know he didn't get drafted.
I'll see if he makes a roster or a practice
squad at defensive tackle. But they have a lot of
guys that are coming back there, and then they had
a couple of guys that transferred out. But the defensive
line still has guy Ty Leonards back. He has not started,
(09:08):
but he may start this year depending on how his
health is. So I think they've got some really good
some good looks at the defensive line inside linebacker. They
lose Martavia's French. And it's interesting with the Martavius French
situation is when he was on one of the radio
shows with us last year, he was getting ready for
Pro Day and then he was one of those players
(09:30):
that got the benefit of well, your junior college years
no longer count, so now we can potentially have you
come back and play. And then Colorado jumped in with
a big nil offer for him, and so I don't
take anything away from him taking that money and moving on.
But they've got depth at those positions, and they've got
depth of the secondary. Overall, the defense is going to
(09:52):
be the question mark until they prove they can get
stops and UTSA has a streak and I have to
go back and look, but I think it's twenty two
games in a row now where they've gotten at least
one takeaway and maybe more than that. Oh yeah, that
will be a key going into every game that they play,
and especially the the Texas State game, the Incarnate Word
game in Colorado State, those three non conference games as
(10:15):
soon as the as soon as that A and M
game is over with. If I look at the schedule,
I think in the in the conference games, they don't
have to play Memphis, so that's that's good. They do
have to play two lane, but they get them at
home where they're twenty nine to three and they're tenure
under Jeff Trailer. They do have to go on the
(10:36):
road to South Florida, and I don't know what to
make of South Florida. Sometimes they're really good, sometimes they're not.
But in the games that UTSA has played South Florida,
they've come up on they've come up on top and there.
And they do get to play an Army team this
year that is has lost a lot of its players
from last year. Unfortunately, they don't get to play Army
until the last game of the season when all of
(10:59):
the undercaren we'll have eleven games of experience going in
to the UTSA game, So that could be a game
that decides whether UTSA goes to the conference championship or
not in the non conference season. And I guarantee you
Jeff's going to talk about this when we do when
when he has that Incarnate Word week, and the Incarnate
(11:21):
Word Week is Week three, and Carnate Word got to
the semifinals last year in FCS. They lost at North
Dakota State in third thirty below weather up in North
Dakota in December. I remember watching that game when we
were up there for basketball and it was cold outside
and it was I guess they played South I think
(11:41):
they played South Dakota State and they they got They
got beat there because it was more than one of
those weather games that people from Texas would rather or
not talk about, but don't.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I don't think in Cardate Word has enough.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
It doesn't have the depth that UTSA has, but what
they have is very talented and it would kind of
put their team on the map to beat to beat UTSA,
and especially in a building where UTSA rarely loses, So
there will be some a major attention to detail, and
anytime that you play an FCS team on your schedule,
(12:16):
and especially if that FCS team has been good in
the past, and especially if they're in the same city
that you are, you know what that game means to them.
That will be incarnate word's most important game of the
season until they get back into the Deceimber run for
the playoffs. So that's not going to be an easy game.
And as Jeff said last year about Kennesaw State, they're
(12:38):
going to be better than you want them to be.
And I think that Texas State is not going to
be a pushover, and neither its Colorado State. But all
of those first four games are going to be a
lot more difficult than people think, and UTSA really needs
to win those games, at least three of those four
if they're going to have a chance to be considered
(12:58):
for the CFP.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Should they have a good conference season. Yeah, I'm trying
to find it. I remember, I know it's at least
like eighteen or nineteen, because I know we had one
promo where you're like, there's the takeaway from oh.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Who was it?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
It was you? Who was your corner this year? That
Jay Fraser, Yeah, Zay Fraser, there you go. I want
to say it's at least like eighteen or nineteen. It
might be a little bit longer. I think the Iowa
Hawkeyes right now have the longest that I believe it's
twenty two. So I'm still trying to find that good
(13:36):
old AI is not giving me.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
It's twenty two straight games, I believe. Once they when
they got the interception in the uh in the ballgame
against Coastal Carolina, that was their twenty second consecutive game
with the takeaway they've all and then that particular game
they also had a sack. So there's I think they've
gone twenty two games in a row with the takeaway.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Yeah, well it's that's not the long The longest is
your your your sooners I believe at forty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, there's ways to go. Yeah, and and there's a
good chance, Oh you may build on that before anybody
else gets closer to it.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, And it's not and I'm not comparing this was
this was that was the longest. It's not active.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
That was the longest.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Streak was from fifty three to fifty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Forty Now they won every game they played during those
years too. That's when half a hundred came came into existence.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Existence. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
So you have to.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Understand when that And you learned this because I went
to college there, and I went to school there, uh
and grew up there and had had family that experienced
the dust bowl of the thirties and the depression of
after World War two. And when Bud Wilkinson became the
coach at OU, he told everybody, not only are we
(14:55):
going to win, but we're going to beat people so bad.
We're going to have something to be proud about. Because
in the fifties a lot of people from Oklahoma didn't
feel very proud about anything. They suffered a lot of
loss agriculturally, they saw they certainly economically because of the
agricultural losses. And the OU football program's existence was to
not only beat you, but to beat you by as
(15:17):
many as they possibly could. And he did not have
a problem running up to score. And that's when the
machine started. So hang half a hundred by halftime and
see what you can do in the second half.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
That's where all that started.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
But I think it's going to be a very interesting
year for UTSA. And if they can get out of
the non conference season three and one, and I know
you're thinking four and oh, and I'm hoping that's the case.
But if they can get out of the non conference
season three and one, they play Temple on the road
and they're not very good. They play Charlotte on the road.
Charlotte has struggled, although I think Charlotte's improving. But I
(15:52):
think they have a great chance to be another bowl team.
And if they they're going to have to win them all.
If they're going to beat out Boise State and Toledo
for the for that spot in the CFP. But we'll
see if they can do that.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I'm just saying I want credit in the broadcast, in
the in the final call. I want credit when when
you get to call the final score that UTSA wins
against I know you're not going to do this because
you have class.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I don't. You're not going to drop UTSA beats little Brother.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
No, I'm not. I'm not going there. But it will
be uh, it'll it'll be fun, Jeff.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
If that happens, Jeff for doctor Lisa compos will give
you a buzz and be like, Andy, did you really
call them little brother? I remember real quick as I know,
because I remember when good old Bill shooning, you know,
he talks about Harry Carey, his Harry Carey impression. I
remember there was one time when we did an I D.
It was a very relaxed game that that game we
were Spurs were winning by like twenty or something. It
(16:48):
was a complete blowout and we're having fun and Bill
tells me, you know, I'm like, hey, Bill, we got
to do an ID. And he's like, all right, give
you an ID and he does it as Harry Carey, and.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I kid you not. Ten minutes later, I get kick
from text or I get a text.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
From Mike Kick Carrillo, the senior broadcast producer for there,
and he's like, did.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Bill just do an ideas Harry Carey?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
And I was like, you damn right, he did.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
All right, let's get into Wimby's latest stuff. It looks
like his health is improving by the second, and some
are not too a little bit concerned about what he
did this past week. We'll talk about that next. It's
