(00:22):
we're gonna we'll do that show live at six o'clock
this evening, and then at seven o'clock you'll hear Loghorn
Weekly with Sark, the program that we recorded last night,
so you'll be able to hear that program in its
(00:43):
normal time slot seven o'clock on Thursday nights.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
That's when we.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
You know, that's when we bring it to you every
week is Thursday nights at seven. But prior to that,
you get an hour of Loghorn Weekly with Rodney Terry,
a special basketball We've got two pre season if you
will shows for the Gay for basketball for the basketball
(01:11):
team tonight and then next Thursday night, two preview shows,
and then we have one more early season basketball show
on November fourteenth, and then we'll pick it up again
after the calendar flips and we get on into conference
play as we finish out football season. But this week
two shows next week the one show because since Texas
(01:32):
will be on and open date on a bye week
next week, there will be no show with Sart next Wednesday,
but we will have one with Rodney Terry on Thursday,
and then we'll pick up again with football the following week,
leading into the game against Florida. Tonight on the program,
we're gonna visit with junior transfer guard Jordan Pope and
(01:56):
grad transfer for Jason Kent. We'll also visit with those guys,
and we hope you'll you'll come on out six o'clock
from six to seven tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
At Pluckers during this now new age of college basketball
at the NIL, Eric Craig, the Trench Reporter, is it
is it tougher for you to learn the team now
than it was maybe, you know, five, ten years ago
because this entire roster obviously you have you know, Key Returns,
Kendall Weaver and Kayden Schdrick and the coaching staff. But
(02:26):
I mean in years past, you know, you would maybe
have two or three more freshmen joined the team. Now
it's like there's like eight guys here on this Texas roster.
And the same goes for Romans basketball. Is it is
it tougher for you.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Put it this way, it ensures the fact that then
I'm doing my homework because there's guys to make sure
that I understand.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Are new to the roster.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So so yeah, I have to I have to make
sure that I'm handling my business in terms of the preps.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So it is different.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It is different, but you know, every year there's roster
turnover the guys that league, there's new freshmen coming in.
This however, is obviously a team that has quite a
bit of change on it. There are six returning players,
four freshmen, and six players from the portal. So yeah,
there's the same thing. Also even in a senior dominated
(03:25):
team like the Texas Women have, I believe there's five
seniors and four juniors on the team, but that includes
transfers as well, so there's new ones to get involved
with to get to know as well. By the way,
Orange White game tonight to the Texas Women at seven
(03:48):
o'clock at Moody Center, and then next Thursday night they'll
have an exhibition game against you team, Tyler, So that
will be that'll be next Thursday night as they draw
closer to their season zero.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I wonder if we're gonna have Rory Harmon I Madsin
Booker on separate teams because it'll be fun to see
if one they would go up against each other and
how that would work.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It would be uh.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know, my history with orange white games has been
or intrasquad exhibition games, is that quite often some of
the best players will be split on both sides, but
there will be some cross pollination.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
There'll be points where they'll what does he.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Call the double sided jersey penny right, Yeah, they'll swap yeah, yeah,
they'll take those off put the other ones on the
double sided jerseys go from orange to white.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And that happens in football too.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You know when we do it, when we do the
orange white spring game, I mean, we're having to keep track. Wayman,
that dude was a wide receiver on orange moment ago.
Now he's on the white. Especially with the defensive players
they wind up sharing.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, and if you don't have enough depth, then a
lot of times, like the first year Sark was here,
they didn't have enough for an orange white game.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Right, wasn't it just a practice? Yeah, yeah, that's exactly
what it was.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So anyway, that's something that speaking of not having enough
I don't know if you saw this note, but I
did find it intriguing. We know about the and I'll
say it unfortunate dissolution and eroding of the PAC twelve
(05:27):
conference with teams leaving with Colin Stanford one of the
a SEC and Oregon and Washington going to the Big
Ten in Colorado and Utah and Arizona and Arizona State
all going to the Big twelve. And so basically the
PAC twelve is falling apart, leaving only Washington State and
(05:48):
Oregon State. But they've begun to replenish their ranks, adding
Mount West Conference schools to the roster now and I
believe they've got to add what two more to get
to eight to be sanctioned to be Division one Football
(06:10):
FBS to where they could be playoff eligible, except by
twenty five or twenty six, they've got two years.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
It's it's a two year deal, so next season.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, So they've been working on that. There are also
challenges to scheduling because those two schools, Oregon State and
Washington State, had a scheduling alliance with a Mountain West,
but once they started, in the words of the Mountain
West poaching members of their conference then the scheduling thing
(06:46):
went out the window, so they kind of put Oregon
State and Washington State in a little bit of a
tough spot. So one step they announced yesterday was they're
going to play each other twice. They're going to go
home and home in twenty twenty five, so they have
to operate as quasi independence again next season. Before that
(07:09):
expansion of the PAC twelve and twenty twenty six, so
the acting on what we just talked about, they had
a two year grace period to refill the conference ranks,
so they kind of have to go independent. And the
reason why and Kyle Bonneger wrote this down that it
was quasi independent.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I think that's a good way of describing it.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Because they had part of a scheduling alliance with a
Mountain West. So they had the scheduling agreement where they
added six Mountain West opponents to their schedules. But when
the talks to extend the agreement with the Mountain West
broke down in August, then they knew they were going
to have to do something. So Oregon State had their
(07:57):
full schedule release for next year and so they have
seven home games. Well it's a home and home also
with Washington State. Oregon State will host the first game
on November first, Washington State will host a second game
regular season finale on November twenty nine. The Beavers will
host the Cougars this year on November twenty third, as
part of the regular scheduling cadence. And so that's a
(08:21):
little bit different that we'll see them go home and home,
you know, while they kind of just go through, for
want of a better term, a conference purgatory next year
before they can, you know, get other schools in on
into the reconstituted PAC twelve. And it does make you
(08:45):
wonder just, you know, how seriously that league will be
taken as a quote unquote power conference or not at
all next year. Which is why, by the way, I
think it's a good thing that the College Football Playoff
Committee was very much upfront about saying this that the
(09:09):
automatic bids into the twelve team playoff bracket this year
go to This is how it's written, not how you
may have heard from others. The automatic bids go to
the five highest ranked conference champions. We know there are
(09:30):
four power conferences ACC, Big Ten, Big twelve, SEC. We
know there's that The fifth one then would be a
G five a group of five conference like the American
or the Sun Belt or Conference USA or the MAC.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
It would be one of those leagues.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But were also logical enough to figure out that really
and truly those four slots that get buys are going
to go to those four power conferences because the G
fives are just not going to be able to meet
up with them in terms of that higher ranking. They
lost another one last night. Did you see what happened
to Liberty? See that I did not. Liberty five and
(10:16):
zero lost to Owen six Kennesau State last night. I
watched some of that and it got crazy at the
end because Kennessas State had the lead.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
What was last night Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, Remember this is part of that fifty three day
window where there's college football. There's some football game on
every night for fifty three consecutive days, either NFL college
you know, Division one or smaller you know FCS level whatever.
So Liberty played last night at Kennesaw and I think
(10:50):
they mentioned they were a twenty seven and a half
point favorite.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
And twenty seven and a half Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
They get down to the end of the game and
Kennesaw State is up twenty seven to twenty four, and
first of all, and I looked at it and I thought,
this is why this team is owned six or part
of it. They made some really ridiculous clock decisions that
allowed enough time once they got stopped trying to pick
up a first down.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
It allowed Liberty six seconds left or ten seconds left.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
They were snapping the ball when Liberty had no timeouts left,
and there were still like five or six seconds on
the play clock down in the final saying you run
it all the way down and there wouldn't have been
any time left, but they kept doing it, and so
Liberty gets the ball back. Cadence salters, a quarterback from
Cedar Hill, rolls out, throws pasc goes out of bounds,
(11:41):
kind of like the Colt McCoy went against Nebraska, skips
out right as the clock is going to zero.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
It hit a player on the sideline. Fans rushed the field.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
They're going crazy, Coaches are hugging players go.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
And then they got players in review and sure enough,
there's a second left.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
They have to make everybody clear off the field, and
they do one more and they trial the lateral stuff,
the pitchy pitchy woo woo stuff that Scott Vaan Pel
calls it and it doesn't work, and then they rush
the field a second time. So Liberty, which had it
outside shop because they were run beaten it maybe being
the G five forget about it. Now they're done. There's
(12:21):
no way they're going to be the highest rank because
they had a very very weak schedule otherwise.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
So it looks like the only remaining group of five
teams Craig is a avy, Army and Navy trying to
combine them there and then Notre Dame Notre Dames. No,
they lost, right, so.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
The only Army and Navy, and then the question is
can they get past Notre Dame otherwise? Yeah, otherwise Boise
State could be in the driver's seat there to get
one or Notre Dame could. I mean their schedule would
would improve with wins over Army and Navy for sure,
So we'll see how it goes from there. Any MAC teams, No, No,
(12:59):
the only MAC you'll be seeing will be on those
Tuesday and Wednesday games to see which teams are going
to go, which two teams are going to go to
Detroit and play in the in the UH I don't
care the quick lane, I don't think I don't even
think it's called the quick lane bowling Moore. I think
it's I think it's been changed. I'll figure that out.
Little Caesars ball, it's not even that all right. Coming up,
we'll hear more from Logorn's head coach, Steve Sarkizan on
(13:20):
sports Radio AM thirteen Under the Zone.
Tonight a special basketball preview edition Loghorn Weekly, and that
