Collegeation ISD buses transport more than thirty six hundred students
each day. New technology to monitor the whereabouts of buses
was reviewed during September CSISD School Board meeting.

Speaker 7 (02:15):
It provides immediate information for who has boarded the bus
for us. It provides overall student security through the monitoring system.
It creates accountability trill for students. Where are they at?
Where are they supposed to be at? Are they supposed
to be on the bus? Were they supposed to ride home?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
CSISD Transportation Director Shannon Caltharp says one thing the technology
does not automatically do is give parents notice of buses
that are behind schedule.

Speaker 7 (02:38):
That comes strictly from my office. I try to stress
to my drivers. If you don't tell me you're fifteen
minutes late, I can't tell anyone you're running fifteen minutes late,
and I'm getting yelled at for it. So we need
to make sure we're staying in contact.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Caltharp says more than thirty three hundred parents are using
an app that monitors the whereabouts of their students who
are being tracked with a badge. If you see lots
of green today, it's in recognition of National four H Week.

Good morning, it's the in form any excellent Monday. Glad

World's best roof given call it two six eight roof
Go to United roofing pros dot Com. No no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh yeah, I have to read the weather now though
you do.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Yeah, that's the things we gotta do.

Speaker 9 (03:59):
I know, all right, same stuff. Ninety three for a
high temperature today, down to about seventy tonight, winds out
of the northeast. Feeling pretty good, matter of fact, all
week long. Again, be nice if we had a little
bit of rain in there, but we don't going to
be windy on Wednesday. And that's it. And it's sixty
eight right now.

Speaker 10 (04:13):
Number nine Texas and m volleyball swept Alabama for its
seventh straight win yesterday. We're going to talk about that
and a whole lot more coming up in sports.

Speaker 9 (04:21):
So this is the harvest moon out there. Okay, that's
the October full Moon's the harvest moon. I think it's
it's at its fullest tonight. But it's been pretty spectacular.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
All week long.

Speaker 10 (04:31):
The wife noticed it last night under the context of,
oh my gosh, my kids that I teach are going
to be nuts because they believe in the lunar cycles
affecting the children's.

Speaker 9 (04:40):
Good reason is any I have no idea. I have
a story that I haven't printed it up, haven't decided
whether it's going to use it or not. About how
kids are now circumventing the no phone rules. Oh okay,
I didn't know if we wanted to mention that or not.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
We don't want to put.

Speaker 9 (04:58):
Any give any ideas he has little kids and that
kind of stuff. New Paul found US Americans are the
number one targets for scammers. Average person in the US
deals with twenty five if he messages a week, or
three or four per day. Oh wow, Okay, So I
got a text. I mean, I guess if yeah, you

(05:19):
consider emails text messages, yes, I think so. Yeah, there's
a lot out there. So I got a text. I
guess I think Friday, and it said, hey, you didn't
finish that story you were telling me. Oh okay, number.
It's the number that I've never seen before. And I'm thinking, okay,
that's just one more way, just one.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Oh yeah way.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
The very personalized text messages are interesting for sure.

Speaker 9 (05:45):
So the tellmess This includes nine calls per week, nine emails,
seven scammy text messages like that one. If you add
it all up, that's more than one thousand bogus messages
a year. Yeah, they pulled people in different countries, and
on average US Americans get targeted twice as much as

(06:06):
anybody else. The Brits come in close at twenty one
times per week, we get it twenty five. Anyone can
fall for a scam if you're not careful. Twenty three
percent of the people sold who they pulled said they
had in fact fallen for a scam. Now we had
I don't know if it's a scam, but here at

(06:27):
the Guaranty Bank building, somebody found a flash drive in
the parking lot, and so they'd put out a memo
to Hey, if it happens to be yours, then Arturo,
who's the building superintendent, has it and such and such,
and mister Downs quickly added an email that said, hey,
just remember that's the way that people get into your network.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Right. People take those flash drives and they plug it
in to see if they can find some identifying information
on it, and it basically just automatically uploads to your computer.

Speaker 9 (07:01):
Yeah, and you remember Bertie Acre when he was he
was mister it at the right. Brian brought us a
little I don't know, I guess it was a filter
to keep that from happening, Right, You could plug idiot
and then plug the whole get.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Well, that had more to do with if you like,
let's say you want to charge your phone at the airport, okay,
and they have you know, you find an outlet. This
was something that you plugged into the outlet kind of
head of your charger, so it protected your your device
from being you know. Yeah, that that had more to
do when you wanted to use public outlet.

Speaker 9 (07:35):
True.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
True, that's right.

Speaker 10 (07:36):
Yeah, between public outlets and public Wi Fi signals and
everything else. There's so many ways that they try to
get in and it's it's remarkable what they can come
up with.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (07:45):
But and when you're a criminal and that's all you
have to do, think about that kind of stuff, and
that's that's your full time job. There are people who
collect things that are a little odd. This one happens
to be interesting. Louise and Scott these are a couple
of architects. For some reason or other, they have the
largest collection of disposable plastic coffee cup lids.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Oh interesting.

Speaker 9 (08:10):
I would have not thought there were that many different
kinds to choose from. But they began their collection during
college back in nineteen eighty four, when coffee cup lids
began to appear more frequently. Up until that time, coffee
drinkers who wanted to drink through a lid basically just
would do it yourself, you know, they put a lid

(08:30):
on or do something like that. Louise was a professor
in New York University, says that her collection of more
than five hundred and fifty cup lids reflects the kind
of collective culture movement in the United States over the
modern on the go consumerism. Her true obsession is design,

(08:51):
and coffee cup lids, she says, are a perfect example
of visual literacy. They wrote a book.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Are you serious?

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (09:01):
They wrote a book, and the book I guess maybe
that's the whole reason we have this story. It's called Peel, Pinch,
Puncture Pucker, a fascinating design history and field guide to
one of life's modern conveniences. With two hundred full close
up photographs and patent design.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
It would make a great coffee table bowl.

Speaker 9 (09:24):
That'd be kind of fun.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
I have an idea of how this started.

Speaker 10 (09:28):
Okay, you know, so she probably has one of those
emotional support mugs and she goes through the coffee drive through.
She pours it in her mug and the lid ends
up on the floorboard, so she got about one hundred
and fifty in.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
She was like, hey, I get start it. I start
a collection.

Speaker 9 (09:41):
We could do that. It's five hundred and fifty.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
I guess they don't take up a lot of room.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Well stackable? Yeah maybe maybe?

Speaker 9 (09:49):
Yeah, info because if they're not identical, they might not
be stackable. Then how do you display them?

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Typically they're very they're very frustrated.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Sometimes they leak, sometimes they they allow the coffee out.

Speaker 9 (10:03):
That's true. Do you put them in a push pin?
You know, put push pin through them like an insect and.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
You cut him on the wall and you can play
them like, yeah, people under the glass of course cure.

Speaker 9 (10:15):
Hey, good morning. It's six eighteen to see them for
maniacs on a Monday. You can call us a textas
if you like to do that today.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, the number is nine seventy nine six nine five
sixteen twenty.

Speaker 9 (10:24):
Okay. So the book is called Coffee Lids, I said,
a fascinating design history and field guide to one of
modern life's everyday conveniences. Two hundred full close up photographs
and patent designs. It could be years from Amazon for
only nine ninety seven.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Oh, okay, on the list Christmas.

Speaker 9 (10:40):
Yeah, so there we go.

Speaker 10 (10:41):
Yeah, you can the cost of one coffee. You can
have a coffee couple lid, which.

Speaker 9 (10:45):
Is about where it is. Yeah, we'll talk about that later.
Coffee prices crazy. It is blue shirt Day. If you
wore one, you're celebrating, okay, or maybe you can wear

Speaker 4 (10:55):

Speaker 9 (10:56):
Yep, come and take it day. Oh okay, is this
the day all that's stocks happened?

Orange Wine Day.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Oh yeah, that can be tasty. This is it's unique.

Speaker 9 (11:42):
This is wine made from oranges.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
No, no, no, no, it's the color of it.

Speaker 9 (11:46):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
And yeah we've talked about this because I've I've tried
it at a few different places. It has to do
with the amount of time that they leave the skin
on the grape. Okay, so it's a type of it
is made from white wine grapes, but they leave the
skin on longer and so the color comes through a
little bit more.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
So it's kind of like an in between a white
and a red.

Speaker 9 (12:07):
Okay, gotcha, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
But there's a very small section at you know, Total
Wine though does have some And then I believe it
was at the restaurant Marfa here in town that they
actually have it on the menu, and that's where I
tried it for the first time.

It's sixty eight degrees. Good morning. I'm Chelsea Reverb.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Tomorrow's Brian City Council agenda includes a proposal to expand
the West Side Lakewalk District.

Speaker 6 (18:06):
The council, acting as the Brian Commerce and Development Board,
will consider spending up to three point eight million dollars
that's not budgeted. This would pay for eighty percent of
a two hundred space parking garage and the required infrastructure
to support a future office, retail, restaurant and entertainment complex
near the Stellar Hotel. City staff projects the expansion will

(18:27):
generate twenty million dollars in land sales revenue, sales and
property tax revenue from an office building and entertainment venues
projected to eventually generate more than twenty six million dollars
a year, and the future construction of multifamily housing and
commercial uses is projected to generate an additional eighty million dollars.
Speaking of the Stellar Hotel, Tomorrow's council agenda includes a

(18:49):
request to allow the hotel owner to keep another year
of hotel occupancy tax money. The request is to compensate
the hotel for reduced occupancy during the pandemic. The maximum
amount of money the hotel will keep from the city
to in a quarter million dollars is not changing, Bill
Oliver sixteen to twenty ninety four to five WTAW.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
The Texas A and M System Board of Regents choose
as an interim president at the Flagship Campus. Regent's chairman
Bob Albritton of Fort Worth said it was a unanimous
selection to bring on Tommy Williams and Aggie Graduate, who
spent ten years as a state senator representing the Woodlands
before working for the System as a lobbyist in Austin.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
We're not going to put a timeline on the search
for our next president. We're going to make sure that
this next president is the exact right person to lead
us forward, and so we are very comfortable that Tommy
can act in the interim forever long it takes us
to do this job right all.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Britton was the only regent making a comment after the
board spent nearly two hours in executive session. Well the
Northgate District continues to produce more high rise student apartment complex.
It's also one of the most prolific areas of Texas
for underage drinking. That was part of an update on
our show from Municipal Judge Ed Splaine.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
One out of six IPS minor and possession of alcohol
filed in Texas has filed in our court, and it's
almost for the most part coming from Northgate.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Last Monday in municipal courts, Balane handled sixty minor in
possession of alcohol cases.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
I get really kind of up when we get an
MIP second because that clearly either someone has an alcohol
problem or they just haven't learned the lesson right.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
But it is a big factor. We're seeing a lot
of that.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
The judge also says the annual amnesty period for warrants
issued by College Station Municipal Court starts a week from
today and continues through Halloween. That saves offenders a warrant
fee that is increasing to seventy five dollars.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
The hour before.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
The bars in the Northgate district closed on Saturday morning,
College Station police arrested two men for reckless driving, where
both drivers did burnouts on Church Avenue. Both drivers were
released from jail after posting bonds. One of the men,
a twenty year old from suburban Fort Worth, was also
charged with DWI with an open container and unlawful caring
of a weapon. A Brian man was arrested last week

(20:56):
for assaulting a sixty five year old man in July.
The arrest report from the Brazos County Sheriff's Office says
the victim was treated at his home after he was
punched in the face of the closed fist and for
a dog bite from the suspects pit bull. The arrest
report does not say what happened to the dog when
forty three year old Dale pindographt went to jail. District
court records say Pendograph pleaded guilty in May to possessing

(21:17):
a controlled substance and was placed on.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Three years probation.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
That's after Pindograph spent two months in jail after probation
was revoked following a conviction for deadly conduct three years ago.
Two months into the school year, College Station ISSD school
board members receive an update on the district's new technology
to monitors school buses, their drivers, and the more than
thirty six hundred students who are passengers. And Transportation Director

(21:40):
Shannon caltharp says more than thirty three hundred parents are
using an app that monitors the whereabouts of their students
who are being tracked with a badge.

Speaker 7 (21:49):
They can be notified as many times as they want.
Maybe that parent that wants to know when they go
through every single intersection, I don't really want all that information.
I just want to know maybe when you're five minutes
from my house. That's fine too.

Good Morning, six thirty eight the infom Aix on this
Monday morning. Here's our weather. It's brought to you by
Uniti Roofing and sheet Metal, home of the Dura Last
roof System, world's best roof can we'll call it two
six eight roof God United Roofingpros dot Com ninety three.
For a high temperature today, calm wins and they'll turn
around and be out of the northeast and northeasterly wins.
It looks like all week long, and as we get
on toward Wednesday, they're telling us gusting up to about

(23:26):
twenty miles an hours. That'll be nice lows each night,
probably be around seventy. But right now we're sitting at
sixty eight out there.

Speaker 10 (23:32):
Latest eight pee Pole is out and A and M
is ranked number five, right between Old Miss and Oklahoma
at four and six. We'll talk about that and more
coming up in sports.

Speaker 9 (23:40):
Penn State made me so happy this weekend.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
Oh so did Texans.

Speaker 10 (23:44):
Yes, looking at the top twenty five list, and you
know what, neither of those teams are on it anymore.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
That is wild, that wild.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
So your your preseason number one and number two are
now not in.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
The top twenty five. Yes, yeah, the I think.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Texas this is the so USC did it in twelve weeks.
They went from number one to out of the top
twenty five. I don't know what year it was, but
this is only like the second time, and Texas did
it in five weeks.

Speaker 9 (24:14):
Yeah, maam, I really.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Really really thought they would keep them in the top
twenty five even after this weekend, just because it's just so.
It made me so happy to see that they have
finally stopped pretending that this is a good football team.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
They're not a good team. They're just not.

Speaker 9 (24:31):
I mean, Florida just schooled them, just schooled.

Speaker 10 (24:35):
Them, And Florida's not a good team. They're just not
well I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
I wouldn't say they're not. I wouldn't say either team.
It's you know, they're not playing well. I mean, everybody
was really high on Florida's quarterback at the beginning of
the season, and they obviously have not performed.

Speaker 10 (24:52):
He was being pumped up, but he was injured as
severely at the end of last season, didn't have much
chance to take part in camp. Talking about Lagway over there.

Speaker 9 (25:00):
A kid from Texas too.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
He's a Texas and.

Speaker 10 (25:02):
So legitimately he had no camp to work with. And
he's still he's still pretty delicate physically. So yeah, he
doesn't have any rapport with his receivers. The offense is
out of sync. They're just they're not doing well over there.

Speaker 9 (25:14):
I got really annoyed with the announcers because they tried
to continue to pump up Arch Manning.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, and you just can't. You just can't anymore.

Speaker 9 (25:27):
The problem is that there are two guys who work
with ESPN a lot whose last name is Manning. Okay,
and you think that's an influence, I guarantee you it is. Okay,
I guarantee you it is only because they don't say
something nice about that kid, they may not move up
in the broadcasting ranks at ESPN. I really truly believe that.

(25:50):
Oh okay, I mean well, I.

Speaker 10 (25:51):
Think ESPN is heavily invested in that university, and obviously
so many people heavily invested through Nil all the commercials
that he's in. He looks great in his Warby Parker
Glasses or whatever. You know, there's just so much investment
in arch and it's ouch.

Speaker 9 (26:07):
He threw two interceptions, okay that, and one of them
definitely definitely sealed their fate. And I understand that part
of it has to do with this line and protecting him.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
He got sacked.

Speaker 9 (26:18):
I don't know a bunch of times, but I don't know.
I didn't. I don't see him as being anything efficient.
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
It's we could still turn out.

Speaker 9 (26:25):
Yeah, is it's six thirty? Is that our kickoff again?

Speaker 4 (26:28):
This six o'clock? Six o'clock?

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Is it six?

Speaker 4 (26:31):
What I saw? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (26:32):
All right, that'll be.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
I knew it was, you know, they gave us that window.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
I wasn't sure if they had actually given us what
time it was.

Speaker 9 (26:38):
And this day that was a noisy crowd, wasn't it.

Speaker 12 (26:41):
Who?

Speaker 9 (26:41):
Yeah, yes, yeah, And the black thing I love that
they I love the yell leaders wearing black.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
I thought they looked so good, so good, and you know,
it's it's for one game. It's the blackout game.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Rev came out with the eye patch, yell leaders had
their black on.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Everybody had black on. In this you had the lights like.
It was great.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
I I you know, I stay off of social media
and and all the in the sense of like all
the old ads.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
I'm sure there were plenty of.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
The planes, but not as many as you would think.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
But I am. I am very very happy that it
went as well as it did. We won the game.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
That obviously helped help a lot. But yeah, I thought
it was awesome. I'm so glad they got to do that.

Speaker 9 (27:21):
One of the game convincingly. Yeah, one of the game
is in the second half.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Certainly, Yes, yes, the first half was still you know
a little, but yeah, to be able to come away
with a thirty one to nine victory, it looked good,
really good.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
The defense is just phenomenal, just phenomenal.

Speaker 9 (27:35):
I think. Yeah, yeah, defense is back to what used
to be back in the old days. It seems like
they're gonna let this quarterback run the plays that he
can run well. I mean, I know that sounds simplistic,
but sometimes you know, an offensive coordinator will decide, this
is what we need to run.

Speaker 10 (27:50):
Well.

Speaker 9 (27:50):
Sometimes you have players who can run other types of
plays better, and I think they've got an offense that
makes him.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
The good news is he Yeah, he continues to look
more comfortable, He continues to find his receivers more and more,
and then the running game starts, starts to look a
lot better, and everything is everything's clicking.

Speaker 9 (28:07):
Yep, it really is. Let's see brand new. It's the
Supreme Court. They're going to take on a whole slew
of important stuff. And there are term starts today.

Speaker 11 (28:17):
Okay, much of the president's agenda is on the line here,
and just looking ahead at the issues and the cases,
this is shaping up to be a blockbuster term.

Speaker 9 (28:25):
Let's start with tariffs.

Speaker 11 (28:27):
This is a huge one, as the Supreme Court will
have to decide whether the president's use of the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act to invoke those tariffs is legal.
Presidential power will also be tested when the Justices consider
if the president can fire the leaders of independent agencies
and several LGBTQ issues around the docket, including mental health care,

(28:50):
providers using so called conversion therapy for minors, and whether
bans on that therapy violate the First Amendment.

Speaker 9 (28:57):
Man, when they when they form the Supreme Court. Now
I could see they would think tear offfs. Okay, they
would think about that May and the rest of that stuff.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
Whoo, never even consider Nope.

Speaker 9 (29:06):
So the Prime Minister of France have resigned. He had
the job less than a month.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
I was gonna say, didn't they just hire this yes?

Speaker 13 (29:15):
Sebastian lecorn New only announced his cabinet yesterday, but his
choice of ministers has been criticized by politicians from the right,
the left, and the center. Opponents have threatened to vote
the appointments down. Many cabinet positions were unchanged from those
of the previous collapse to government. Licorn New's resignation was
announced after a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron this morning.

(29:38):
France has had five prime ministers in less than two years.
Snap elections in July last year resulted in a parliament
where no one party had control. Jonathan Savage, Fox News.

Speaker 10 (29:50):
Sounds to me like he managed to unite everybody in
France against them.

Speaker 9 (29:55):
Okay, yes, that's true. Yeah, you didn't do well. You
may leave.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Let the right and in the middle. Don't like what
you're doing.

Speaker 9 (30:02):
Aside from that, you're doing, okare just great. Rescue workers
are battling to reach more than two hundred hikers who
are stuck on the slopes of Mount Everest.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yes, that's scary.

Speaker 13 (30:15):
Hundreds of tourists got trapped by a blizzard on the
Tibetan side of Mount Everest over the weekend. Most have
been brought to safety rescue workers carrying some hikers down
on their backs, but some two hundred remain survivors have
spoken about how they feared being buried by snow if
they dared fall asleep. Hypothermia remains a risk for those

(30:37):
still stuck. The Himalayan Mountains have been hit by extreme
weather in recent days. At least forty seven people have
died in Nepal from landslides and flooding. Jonathan Savage, Fox News.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
Wow, a whole lot of hope.

Speaker 9 (30:51):
Yeah, I mean, now it says in here, hikers, these
were mountain climbers, really, right, I mean.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yeah, you don't. Yeah, you don't just like casually go
no hike to Mount Everest.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (31:02):
Okay, so there you go.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
So you hope that they're yeah, that they were outfitted
with you know, at least I don't know some kind
of gear everything that they need right exactly, all right.

Speaker 10 (31:11):
Sixty six, Good morning. I'm will welch with your morning
sports updates. On sixteen to twenty ninety four to five
WTA W Texas A and M earned its second conference
win of the season, improving to five and zero after
handling Mississippi State thirty one to nine in front of
a giant crowd at Kyle.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
On Saturday night.

Speaker 10 (31:34):
Two hundred ten yards of total offense, two passing touchdowns
and one rushing score for Marcel Reid. Casey Concepcion hauled
in both receiving scores. Mario Craber registered six catches for
eighty yards, adding thirty five rushing yards with one touchdown.
Ruben Owens notched a career best one hundred and forty
two yards on twenty one attempts. On the defense, Damian

(31:55):
Sandford had nine tackles, including a sack. Cashier's hal a
three sack game for the second time the season, and
Tory and York led the team with ten tackles.

Speaker 12 (32:04):
I think we played really complimentary in the second half.
We were getting stops on defense which kept their offense
on the field, which really kind of I think got
them a little bit tired and certainly got the crowd
going and really got a lot of energy into that building.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
The twelfth Man had a heck of a night as well.

Speaker 12 (32:19):
Twelk Man was phenomenal. You know, they're always behind Texas
A and M football, but I think they're starting to
get behind this program, specifically the coach Elco version of
Texas A and M football, and that's just really awesome,
and so we're always thankful for them. They always show
up for us. I think I saw it was the
fifth largest crowd again in state of Issue, So I
think that's the third time this year that we've hit

(32:40):
a top ten crowd, and so yeah, it's a phenomenal
place to coach. It's a phenomenal place to be because
of them.

Speaker 10 (32:47):
Texas A and M is now right number five in
the latest EIGHTP poll, between Old miss and Oklahoma at
four and six. Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Missouri, and Vanderbilt
round out the SEC teams in the top twenty five.
Texas A and M returns to Kyle Field on Saturday
six o'clock conference matchup with Florida. The number nine Texas

(33:07):
A and M volleyball team swept Alabama for its seventh
straight win yesterday. Here's head coach Jamie Morrison good.

Speaker 14 (33:14):
I thought we played good volleyball from I want to
say eight points in on. I thought we came out
a little bit sloppy and we took a time out,
and I thought from then on we kind of dialed
things in and leading into the second set, I just
talked about there's no nights off in the SEC, so
it's a good opponent, and I thought we played good Vlibblell.

Speaker 10 (33:28):
This is the team's seventh sweep of the season. They
are undefeated in SEC play. The Maroon and White return
home to host Kentucky on Wednesday evening at Ried Arena
First Service at four to six pm. The Texas A
and M men's tennis team concluded the Big Twelve SEC
Challenge yesterday at they Heard Tennis Center with a seventeen
to ten overall record over the three day event. The

Maroon and White return to action at the ITA Texas
Regional Championship at the Mitchell Tennis Center from October seventeenth,
through the twenty first. The Houston Texas put a proverbial
whoop in on Baltimore yesterday forty four to ten.

Speaker 15 (34:02):
Proud of all of our guys for the way they
showed up today and execute it and all all three
phases of the game. Guys played the game the right way,
we finished it the right way, and could it be
more proud.

Speaker 10 (34:14):
The Texans have some time off until their next game,
Monday Night football against Seattle on the twentieth. The Dallas
Cowboys took down the New York Jets yesterday thirty seven
to twenty two. Here's Brian Schottenheimer after the game.

Speaker 15 (34:26):
We found a way to win, but there's going to
be a lot to correct, a lot to fix, and
that's what we do as coaches.

Speaker 10 (34:31):
Dallas is now two to two and one on the season,
and we'll face the Panthers next Sunday. That's your morning
sports updates on sixteen to twenty ninety four to five
wta W.

plays they want to do, why don't they just do
the plays.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
In the NFL that score them?

Speaker 4 (35:27):
The touchdowns question gets asked all the time.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
I mean, yeah, why not just do the same plays
they if they work once that touchdown, sure.

Speaker 9 (35:37):
That's it. Okay. Anyhow, so she's got it figured out,
and say a lot of time, you don't have to
watch the games, and you can just watch the highlights
because they'll score on every play.
