this week gets going into the middle of the week
after today and we get Jeff trailer tomorrow night. We
get a few minutes with Jeff a little bit later
on the show today Monday night football and more baseball
(00:43):
last night, and the beat marches forward as we get
into the weekend and more football. I'm an do you
ever at the audio disseminator and producer of this program
today is Shane Carter. And last night we saw the
Chiefs almost win a game and then the Jaguars do
what so often the Chiefs have done in the past
(01:05):
by going down the field of getting a late score
to win the game. I thought Kansas City had that one,
and they had opportunities to win it in the fourth quarter,
but just didn't get it done. And I don't think
the demise of the Chiefs is there yet. I still
think the Broncos have a lot to prove. I think
the Chargers have a lot to prove, and Vegas is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
A year or two away.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
But last night it was Jacksonville who got the better
part of Kansas City. And Jacksonville is now putting pressure
on both the Houston and Indianapolis in the AFC South Andy.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I don't know if we're seeing the demise of Kansas City.
I think what it is is people are kind of
figuring out their oppensive scheme. I think instead we are
seeing the rise of a team that you and I
both thought was another year away in Jacksonville. We got
to give Liam Cohen, the head coach for the Jaguars,
and credit he is coached that you know what out
of this team, And if it weren't for a mishap
against the Bengals at the end of the game, they're
an undefeated team right now. And honestly, last night, how
(01:57):
much of it you saw the score really didn't dictate how
much Jacksonville really just beat the Chiefs. The Chiefs all
those points at the end were in desperation. This defense
looks revitalized. Trevor Lawrence looks at the very least serviceable.
He's not like you know, Clemson Trevor Lawrence. But he's
definitely accurate with his passes. He's smart with the ball,
and they're moving the ball in different ways to get
down the field, taking up clock, and the defense is
(02:18):
making stops on third and fourth down.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well, the AFC South, which we thought was going to
be an easy division for the Texans to win Moore,
was now a pretty competitive division because Jacksonville and Indianapolis
are playing well. I'm I'm not sure that Tennessee is
ready for prime time. And the Cardinals gave them a
win last week. They should have lost that game, but
they didn't with the misuse that the Cardinals had in
(02:42):
the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
But yeah, they dropped the ball on that one.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well, they dropped the ball in the one and they
dropped the ball on the interception. I mean they had
two chances to ice that game and mess them both up.
So anyway, I'm looking at I'm looking at this to
be a tighter division than we thought it was. I
thought it was al dunk easy win at the beginning
of the year, and it's anything but that. After the
first few weeks of the season, we'll get into more
(03:07):
NFL stuff. Mark VanderMeer joins us and let the get
the news on the Texans coming up just after a
five point fifteen or so. Today, Auburn is doing something
that I'm not a big fan of. Auburn is giving
up a home game in order to raise money for
NIL And my question is, why can't you raise the
money at a home game. They're gonna play Baylor next
(03:28):
year in a big twelve sec matchup.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
And they're gonna play the game in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
And I'll get into all the differences in all of
this and the details of it in a little bit,
but I just don't think that this is what you
do to your fans. Your fans have to travel enough
when they drive through the SEC. I don't want them
to have to drive to Atlanta. It's not a terrible drive,
maybe three or three and a half hours.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But it is.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You have home games for a reason, and home games matter.
And I'm gonna get into that again. A little bit.
We are on the eve pretty soon this week of
Oh You and Texas. Those teams will play. The series
has always been a little bit in favor of Texas
because Oh You really didn't didn't really care about football
until after World War Two. I'll give you kind of
(04:13):
the explanation on the rise of OU football to make
this a real rivalry because between eighteen whatever in about
nineteen forty six or seven, the folks that oh you
didn't really care that much about football until Bud Wilkinson
came along. We'll share that story with you, and I
believe it's plus one OU since nineteen fifty, So we'll
get into that game and some memories from that game
(04:35):
over the years. Jerry Jones has a little fine that
he has to pay the NFL pocket change for him.
Jeff Traylor joins us in the six o'clock hour. We'll
visit with Jeff in detail today about the loss against
against Temple, and then tomorrow night we'll have the radio
show out.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
At Roca and Martillo.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Speaking of Jeff Trailer, there is an article I saw
last night on Yahoo Sports. It was written by Dan Wilkin,
who was basically doing a little paragraph on every coach
whose name has come up in one way or the
other for all the vacant head coaching jobs, especially at
Oklahoma State and at Arkansas. We're going to go into
(05:14):
detail with what he said, and what he said is
really not all that accurate. There's a lot of inconsistencies.
And if you've seen it and you maybe wanted to
think about it and you think it's gospel, it's not.
And I'll explain what I think is accurate and what
is not accurate about that going forward to me, and
(05:35):
I've said this from the beginning. Any college football coach,
whether you're the whether you're Sark or whether you're Kirby
Smart or whether you're Mike Elkoe or whoever you are,
at whatever level you're at, your goal each and every year,
and your fan base his goal each and every year
should make the college football Playoff. Get in the group
(05:56):
of twelve. Eventually it's going to be sixteen. I don't
think it's going to go to twenty four, but you
want to be one of those sixteen teams that get there.
And the question that I will ask and Shane, you
can see if you can disagree with me on this,
if you want. I don't think that Oklahoma State is
ever going to finish in the top half of the
Big Twelve anytime soon. And I don't think Arkansas is either,
(06:19):
Regardless Oklahoma State that doesn't have money and they don't
have a booster, And for Arkansas to get there, Jerry
Jones and Walmart and Tyson Foods would have to put
up the money to give Arkansas a thirty to forty
million dollars roster. That's what Texas has, That's what Texas A.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And M has.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And if you don't have the talent, you're not going
to win in that league, and that league is going
to cannibalize itself. So yeah, I think the chances of
UTSA getting to the College Football Playoff as champion of
the American Conference could happen to one every seven to
eight years, but one to every seven to eight years
is far greater than I think the chances for Arkansas
(06:57):
are Oklahoma State to ever be the top part of
their of their conference to where they would get an
at large bid. And I see no scenario where either
one of those schools is ever going to win the league.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I think the only the way Oklahoma State is is
going to get back to prominence in the Big twelve
is three ways. Okay, and this is all a tiing
in with modern college sports.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
So the first thing is they need a classic athlete
to rep the program. Think about like all the new
player managers. Yeah, team managers like us like Steph Curtis
for Davidson.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
That would be Berie Sanders or thurmon Thomas or even
does Bryant.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
It can be someone that least the players understand is
like they're important to the university.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That's one way.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Pat Mahomes does that, by the way, for Texas Tech,
and that's worked out. They've been able to obtain Adidas.
Another way is who the coach is going to be.
Are they going to go back down the blood line,
because you know the Oklahoma State likes to get former
cowboys in their coaching staff. Are they going to do
that or are they going to go with a different look.
Are they going with a more modern approach? And the
last one is, and you mentioned you know, bringing in
boosters or stuff like that. At the very least, they
(07:58):
might have to do what teams like we see a
state doing and play these these games where they go
on the road to Big ten schools and the ACC
and get beat up to obtain more money for ANIL
and resources like that and that sort of thing. I
think that sort of thing might take a little bit
of time. But if they don't do those things, I
don't think they will get back to it. Well.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Number one, I don't care who they get to coach
the team. It's still still Water, and there's nothing necessarily
wrong with still Water, but it's not a destination.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It doesn't really have any history.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
And with everybody being able to pay players and other
teams being able to certainly pay more than Oklahoma State can,
I don't see where that's a job that is going
to be anything but a stepping stone. If you go
there and sign a five year contract with a twelve
million dollars buyout and you just get lucky and win
nine games and go to a ball game, you got
to be on the next train to the next biggest
(08:47):
school because the likelihood of you repeating it there as
opposed to Alabama, Texas, Texas A and m ou Georgia,
et cetera, is far less. They're not going to be
able to maintain that. Jimmy Johnson was there and left
last miles was there and left. The bloodline that you
talk about was Pat Jones and Mike Gundy, and they
(09:07):
won a little bit, and they never left. And Pat
Jones lasted ten years and Mike Gundy lasted twenty something
because they wanted to be there. And unless you're going
to have a coach that wants to be there all
the time and is kind of indoctrinated into that program
with their traditions, and you know, Mike Gundy made his
home in Stillwater, was proud to be there. There's not
(09:29):
a lot of people and not a lot of families
that want that. I'll use GJ. Kenny for example. If GJ.
Kenny were to get the Oklahoma State job, it is
go there, win nine games, and go now Here's where
I do think a GJ. Kenny, a Jeff Trailer, a
coach say at Louisiana, maybe at New Mexico or something
(09:50):
like that, that's an up and coming coach. Here's one
of the ways I think that they would be interested
in those jobs. In the way that we move around
the NIL there there are a lot of players that
have been loyal to those coaches and taken less money
to stay with the coaches that recruited them, and it
would be an opportunity for said coach to leave take
a bunch of players with them so that they could
(10:12):
get a payday.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And I can.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
See that there would be some players out there that
would ride the coattails of their coach, and the coach
would gladly take them, kind of as a loyalty gift.
He stood with me at Texas State, you stood with
me at Louisiana. Stay with me at law Tech. Now
come with me to Arkansas or Oklahoma State, and I'll
get you paid because they can pay a little bit
more than those schools can. That really is the only
(10:36):
incentive I can see, because is Arkansas going to actually
spend enough money to compete for an SEC title? When
was the last time they were ever relevant in football?
And I mean the ever. I mean I watched football
for fifty five years and I've never known them to
be in the top top five. I can't tell you
a year that Arkansas was in the top five in
(10:56):
the anti poll.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I want to say they were close when they had
Derrin MCFA, but like they, like you said, they've had
years when they win nine games, right, But then next to.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Them when seven and then they lose the ball game.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
And it's not consistent enough to really call it like
consistently win and it's it's it's your good enough to
make uh to uh to be competitive in your in
your in your conference, but you're not. You have them
if the resources out there to be competitive year in
your out, Teams like George do that year in and
year out. Teems like uh, you know, uh, Michigan do
a year in and year out. If Arkansas and they
have boosters, they should be able to do it. They
(11:26):
just don't have the willpower to like go follow through
with it.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
We'll also talk about Bill Belichick. They've canceled a TV
show on Hulu because the team's terrible and he doesn't
want to talk about him anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
We'll also talk baseball.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
The Dodgers played great last night again and and have
a two zer league going back to LA for that.
Yankees in an elimination game tonight Seattle Detroit tight at one.
Will get to all of those things coming up on
the program.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
UH and oh.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Jerry Jones I said he's gonna have to pay a fine.
Plus the Bengals UH and UH are gonna get Joe
Flacco and he's likely to start uh coming up this
weekend for the Bengals. All of that coming up, Let's
talk about this article in Yahoo about Jeff Trayler. We'll
talk about that next. It's the Andy Everett Show. On
