Speaker 1 (00:00):
We continue on this Texas Tuesday. It has gone final
in Pensacola, number three seed Texas Women's soccer team, the
Texas Soccer team shutting out the eleven ceed LSU three
nil Hollyboard with a pair of goals for the log Warns.
They now move into the semifinals and they'll play on
Thursday against Arkansas, the two seed who won one nil
(00:23):
over Georgia. So that's that's where it'll be on Thursday,
the next time that Texas will play in the SEC
Soccer Championship going on. So it'll be Thursday at six o'clock,
six in the evening our time. Thursday is what it'll
(00:43):
take place. So congratulations to Ange Kelley and the Long Horns.
Hopefully they knock it on through and get on into
the into the championship round. Before we get to hearing
from Steve Sarkison or a couple of things from yesterday's
(01:03):
Long Warned Monday Coach sark news conference that we wanted
to get to. But before we get to that from
those on the text line, somebody said, is it a
law you have to say nil for zero if talking
about soccer. No, any more than there's not a law
(01:31):
that says that you have to say zero in football,
that you have to say nothing fourteen to nothing over
fourteen zero. So that so no, But I have a
soccer background. I did I'd broadcast both indoor and outdoor soccer.
Did indoor soccer for on television radio up in Dallas
(01:53):
for nine years, and did and then did outdoor. I
did the World Cup in nineteen ninety four, thirty years
ago for the World Cup Radio network. And also did
the first three years of the Dallas MLS franchise when
they were known as the Dallas burn before they became
FC Dallas. And that was both on radio and television
(02:14):
back then. So I'm used to saying deal. So you're
not down with this Mingo trade? Then?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
For the Cowboys fourth round draft pick giving up for Mingo,
When you look at the other deals that were made
for receivers, it just kind of blows my mind that
the Cowboys gave up that amount of draft capital for
a player like Mingo who has let's see, he's got
(02:46):
twenty six passes. Sorry, he's got twelve passes this season,
twelve receptions for one hundred and twenty one yards, zero touchdowns. See,
he does not move the needle. He's a receiver three,
receiver four, probably down from what I understand, because he
still has about two and a half years left on
his contract and he's locked up. That's why the Cowboys
(03:09):
gave up a fourth round draft pick. But do you
think it's that much?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I mean, they gave him a fourth round pick, they
get Mingo and a seventh row a seventh rounder. Oh okay,
they also get a seventh rounder. I mean I for
next year and Mingo in exchange for a fourth rounder.
Was that too much to give up? Well?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Why why are the Cowboys buying Dak? Dak's out for
how long? How many games this team ever lost? Three
in a row. They're not gonna make the playoffs. They're
gonna lose their next at least two games, possibly three.
They're not gonna They're not gonna catch up with that
seventh seed. I mean, look at the NFC, you're gonna
have at least three teams from the NFC North get in.
They're gonna have probably ten eleven wins. And then in
(03:48):
the NFC West there's three teams right there that will
be pretty close to it. It's the Cowboys should be
should be selling in my opinion should be selling. I'm
of the opinion that just tear the whole thing down
at this point. But I don't don't know it's going
to change anything, because if you're Mike McCarthy, you want
to be buying because this is your last last year.
You're lame duck head coach at this point, so obviously
(04:12):
you want to be buying here. But this trade does
not change anything. I mean, they need to be adding
more debt at running back, defensive line. It's just this,
it's I don't, I don't. It's not a trade that
moves a neel for me, right.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So in other words, you are in agreement with the
Texter who said, did not see mingo on a bingo card?
Interested to hear Jerry's lingo. Seems like the rest of
the league is laughing like a dingo. It's one way
to put it, laughing like a dingo. Jerry does have lingo.
(04:47):
He does. Anyway, there's a couple of things let's hear
from Sark. We've been talking a lot of college football
playoff stuff since the first rankings will be released. But
first of all, for those who didn't hear, Sark was
asked in the news conference heard yesterday live here on
Sports Radio AM thirteen hunder the Zone for an update
on Isaiah Bond and Andrew mccoobaugh and is there one
(05:10):
thing he can fix to make him feel more confident?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Both those guys practice today which was really encouraging, and
they both, you know, look pretty good again. It's a
Monday of a game week, and and so how do
they respond each day? I think is important for Drew
and Isaiah, But today was a good start. And I
think for us as a team, you know, our mojo
(05:35):
offensively is one thing I want to get back. You know,
our our our whether you want to call it our
our sense of urgency, our intent, the way we go
about our business. You know, we've got a talented group
of guys that are very competitive. They're tough, they work
really hard, they want to play well. Sometimes you can overtry,
if that makes sense. And and to me, that gets
(05:56):
back into your mojo, that gets back into our swagger
a little bit. And I want to I want to
try to recreate that with the guys because I know
what we're capable of and if we can get that
clicking to go along with what we're doing, defensively and
special teams wise, that would be a huge bonus.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Sark was asked, are there differences between how he dealt
with the first bye week, which of course was as
you know, at the end of September, as opposed to
the second bye week? And are there some young guys
who impressed him while he was looking during the bye week?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Not a whole lot change from a format standpoint, I
think naturally the second bye you hold some guys a
little bit more who just are a little bit more
nicked up. You know, I've been impressed with a lot
of our young players. You know, Kobe Black continues to
make strides. I think Jared Gibson, you know, showed us
a lot last week. Again, you know that both young safeties,
(06:51):
you know, Jordan Johnson, Rebel and Xavier both are kind
of on the come. And so the good part is
it's not always just about on offense and defense. It's
finding roles for them on special teams as well. And
so you know, a lot of those guys have shown
me a lot. I'll say this, I think Sadeir Mitchell
the last two weeks has had his two best weeks
of work here in quite some time. So that stuff's
(07:12):
encouraging to me that we've got a group of players
that are continuing to push one another and push themselves
to be the best they can be, because that's how
our team is going to become really good. And like
I said last week, we're not a finished product. I
think are best football still ahead of us, and we're
gonna need all these guys. I don't know when, but
we're gonna need them all. So we've got to keep
coaching them to be the best they can be.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
All right, And then Sarkus asked about this logjam at
the top of the SEC. By the way, Cameron Parker
did more research during the break, you said, there's a
possibility of not a seven but of an eight way
tie at the top.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
If Missouri wins out. If they went out, because they
only have two losses, they do not play any of
the other top seven teams in the conference conference. If
they went out, they were to be an eight way
tie first place, but it would still be LSU Alabama.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
They have what Oklahoma, Oklahoma, ARKANDENSA and Mississippi State, Sippy.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
State, and I think one more team that's losing record
in the conference.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Okay, all right, so anyway there could be as much
as an eight way tie atout the conference standing. So
Sark was ashed yesterday at the at the news conference.
If he's paid that much attention to the logjam at
the top of the SEC.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
You know, there is a lot of football to be
played here in the month of November, you know, and
how critical all these games are over the next four
weeks for a lot of different teams. Uh. The one
thing that I took away from is all we can
control is us and what we're going to do and
how we can try to go handle our business to
the best of our ability. I think one thing you
learn not necessarily from A and M or from it
(08:55):
was a bunch of teams that you know, had had
games and tough games, and some swung in different directs
like that mental intensity. I talked about of how challenging
that is week to week in this conference, right, you
want to get up for each week and you just
got to fight that drop off because you've got to
stay up again and again and again. And that's what
makes our conference very very difficult. You have to stay
(09:18):
mentally locked in as well as you have to be
physically prepared to play mentally prepared to play. And I
think there's there was a lot of good teachable lessons
from this weekend of anybody can go play anybody at
any time in this league, and it's it's going to
be a heck of a game. And so you saw
it with Vanderbilt their ability to rebound and get get
a big win this weekend. We saw it with Florida
(09:38):
playing Georgia the way that they did even after losing
their second string quarterback. We saw it with South Carolina
and their ability to step up and do what they did.
So it's a challenging league, and that's why we talked
about the kind of mental fortitude you have to have
in this league as much as it is the physical ability.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Okay, there it is, And I'm looking at the type
breaking table the two.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
It's fun. How long you just spend on this website tonight,
with like thirty minutes, you think you're gonna get lost
in this.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Maybe it'll be after watching the playoff thing. It'll probably
be while during Lyn and I have the well, it'll
probably be while Lynda and I have the election coverage
on tonight that would be more interesting. Yeah, because you
know one of my favorite guys to watch is Steve Karnaki.
I like to watch him. Which channels on He would
be NBC, so he'll be I think he'll be on
(10:30):
regular NBC. I know he'll be on MSNBC, but I
think he'll be on NBC. Uh, he's on NBC because
he's on Sunday Night Football. They have him doing the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Hits him with the touch screen, with the.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Touch screen, the rolled up sleeves on, the white Oxford
shirt with a tie loose, and it's a red tie
and khaki pants.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
That's his uniform.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
He wears that every time and he will be wearing
it again tonight. I noticed him in action yesterday, you know,
when we were in the hotel in Las Vegas and
where we walk from the elevators into where the meal
room is. Yeah, and then that that big screen was up.
There were a lot of South Carolina women's basketball fans
watching stuff there. He was already at it. It's already there.
(11:11):
He kind of leans over like this and he's pointing
in us. It's great. It's great television, no matter no
matter who you want to win the election. At Karnak
he's pretty funny and you see him You see him
also on uh on Sunday Night Football when he talks
about all the playoffs
We continue on this Texas Tuesday. It has gone final
in Pensacola, number three seed Texas Women's soccer team, the
Texas Soccer team shutting out the eleven ceed LSU three
nil Hollyboard with a pair of goals for the log Warns.
They now move into the semifinals and they'll play on
Thursday against Arkansas, the two seed who won one nil
(00:23):
over Georgia. So that's that's where it'll be on Thursday,
the next time that Texas will play in the SEC
Soccer Championship going on. So it'll be Thursday at six o'clock,
six in the evening our time. Thursday is what it'll
(00:43):
take place. So congratulations to Ange Kelley and the Long Horns.
Hopefully they knock it on through and get on into
the into the championship round. Before we get to hearing

get Mingo and a seventh row a seventh rounder. Oh okay,
they also get a seventh rounder. I mean I for
next year and Mingo in exchange for a fourth rounder.
Was that too much to give up? Well?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Why why are the Cowboys buying Dak? Dak's out for
