Yes, sir, this is the Fanatics.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Welcome into the Fanatics here on Ticket seven sixty and
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I'm your host, Dylan Emory along with Shane Carter.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We're gonna get you over to the Texans in about
what an hour and a half until some football action
even they have to though they have to. We like
the Texans. They've got a shot today against Baltimore. Of
course we'll have our picks a little bit later on
in the second half hour of the show, as I
call it, the half hour show. Always like getting the
call like on Friday. You know, hey, hey, by the way,
(00:58):
your show is.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Only an hour and a half, ninety minutes of fame.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Ninety minutes a fame. So here's my shot.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Here we go but a lot to get to, uh,
you know, most importantly, I guess we would say that.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
The Spurs are back, right.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, Spurs season is upon us. They had the Silver
and Black scrimmage last night. Saw a couple moves in there.
That's you know, SEEMI All Star Game ish. You know,
Victor Winbin Yama with a big old dunk last night
that kind of raised the roof there. But the Spurs
take off or take on the is it the Long Lions.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yes, the Lions. I'm not gonna try and pronounce that name.
Where are they from?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Somewhere in China, China, right, But they're composed of like
former NBA players. Okay, I think Victor Oladipo's actually on
that team.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Okay, okay, So we've got them, We've got the that's
tomorrow night at the Frostbank Center. Spurs will be there
and then they carry on with their preseason. They'll go
off to Miami on a Wednesday game, and then on
Friday they take on the Jazz back here at home,
and then you know, more preseason for you is the
Spurs and Pacers go on the thirteenth of October and
(02:01):
then Friday, October seventeenth, it's the guess what, it's the
Pacers in Spurs. So hey, at least we'll be ready
for the Pacers.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
This is the best time. This is the best time
of the year. You won't know why why.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
The month of October is the one month in sports
where you have Major League Baseball, the NFL, college football,
professional and college basketball men's and women's because the women's
championship will be around November. The round they'll start in November,
and when's basketball also starts from that time. So she
got all major sports in America playing in this month.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, and then you know, Major League Baseball playoffs. The
wild Card Division is done. We're now in the divisional series.
Did you see Detroit last night? They stole about that
in eleven innings, they steal one with a single in
the eleventh and they win three to two.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Vargas gave him the inside. He takes it right up
the center. Yep, I'm sorry. I really want the Mariagers
on that series. And then they take it in eleven
they do, and they should have won that when the
marriage had to control them.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Sorry again, let you control my motion.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Detroit was up at the top for a while and
then Toronto just keeps scoring. I think I think thankfully
we only played nine innings yesterday against New York because
they would have kept going.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, did you see? Did you see what happened to
the Cubs? They got a boat race by the by
the by the Brewers. Like Milwaukee's one of those teams.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Man, I just you know, I think for Major League Baseball,
the worst case scenario for World Series is Milwaukee versus Toronto.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
EU.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, I just think viewership would not be there for
him obviously. You know, if you're the Major League Baseball organization,
you're gonna want the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
But the Yankees got a tough test against Toronto.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
It's like in twenty thirteen when the when the Conference
Finals was the Spurs and the Thunder. Even though there
was a lot of star players, the market size of
those teams was not what you wanted, right, Whereas in
the East you had the Miami Heat And I think
that was the year the Knicks played them, right, that
was the That was the That was Mellow versus Lebron.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yes, that was that one.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Yes, Yeah, that was the one everyone actually wanted to watch,
you know, even though I'm just saying the Spurs series
was the better series.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I'm just saying. I'm just saying it is.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You know, but you know, we've got Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Underway, We've got college football going on, We've got NFL
football going on in right now, we're in London and
it's halftime in the Cleveland Browns are leading the Minnesota
Vought Kings get ninety seven. And by the way, former
Ou quarterback Dylan Gabriel leading the Cleveland Browns ten to
seven in this one. It's early, I know, but that's
(04:20):
that's a that's a good thing for Dylan.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Gabriel stat of the day for you. What's that?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So? I saw this on Twitter and I a should
have looked it up. I think it is even even
a thing. But like, especially in the era where you
see more players transfering. Uh, Oklahoma has apparently set a
record this year in the NFL. That's right, this season
has the most quarterbacks started from one single school, the
University of Oklahoma, that have at least started one game
for one school that are starting one game in the
single season.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Six six. Do you know who they are? Spencer Ratler,
that's one.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Dylan Gabriel, yep, Baker Mayfield Jalen Hurts. Uh, huh Kyler Murray.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Right, oh god, super Bowl champion.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Super Bowl champion quarterback. Yes, really, how to owe you,
Jalen Hurts, I said, Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
No, you just you said Kyler, You said Baker, you said, uh, Spencer,
you said Dylan.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I didn't say he said Caleb.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, Spencer said Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Oh okay, Yeah, I guess you really count him though.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Is that is that bad? It is because he played?
He played two years for y'all?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, well it was an evil breakup. It's like the
Spurs fans in Kawhi. We just don't talk about it.
But yeah, no, oh u's quarterback university. Oh you of
course playing without materia right now. They took care of
Kent State yesterday forty four nothing, but who doesn't take
care of Kent State? Uh? The defense only allowed one
hundred and thirty five yards. You know, And I know that, Shane,
(05:41):
we said that we were going to talk about, you know,
Spurs and everything else like that. But I think the
biggest story is obviously red Rivers te minus six days away.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Oh, especially in this area, and uh, there's a huge
Texas ou following from here all the way through Dallas.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
The Longhorns got chomped yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Never in the game, never even never even had the
lead in this game. And both you and I had said,
I think at the beginning of season, Hey, you gotta
circle Florida, And of course Florida comes out and they're
one in three by the time the Texas Longhorns go
into Gainesville. And now the Florida Gators are two and
three and the preseason number one team, the Texas Longhorns
(06:17):
are three and two.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Should they even be ranked at this point? Let's be honest,
what is their signature win this year? They were a
number one based on last year, they got a number
one spot right right, So if you count this year
they lost to Ohio State again, you can lose to them,
That's that's.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
An admirable loss. You can lose to Florida. But you've
almost lost to Utip. You almost lost to Utip.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
You've had arch manning flex against Sam Houston. There only
three wins have been at home, and they've been against
subpar teams. Okay, is the panic button reel for Texas
right now? Is the panic button?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Reeal, I'm actually gonna give arch a little bit of
credit in this regard. I thought he was better in
terms of his decision making overall. But once we got
towards the end of the game, the majority of the
game he actually controlled the boat thought relatively well.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Once he got to the end of the.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Game, that's where he saw the Aaron throws, throwing the
double coverage and taking too many sacks.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
That's stuff we've been talking about all year.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Right in the first two and a half, give or
take right, maybe maybe three quarters, he was fine.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It was the defense.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
The defense is surprised and they give like over one
hundred and fifty yards on the ground. DJ Lagway looked
like like last year's DJ Lagway. No one talks about
how good he looked on Florida's side, but arch I
thought for the majority of the game actually played pretty well.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It was the end of the game.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
You and I talk about crunch time, gut check the
time what really matters because they actually they actually closed
the gap. Hey, and the Navier called that time of
one fifty three to avoid like a ten second runof
otherwise they had us oop the clock and then that
gave them a little bit light and what happens, throw
us into double coverage.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, game over.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
But let's be honest, Texas is not the best team
in Texas this year.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Who would you say it is.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I mean, obviously, we're we're gonna go over to East
Texas and we're gonna find them fight naggies who are
now five and oh and two and oh after their
victory last night.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You're going to say that school.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Well, as far as you know as we have some
people on this show say big brother, big sister, whatever,
whatever they say. You know, A and M's off to
a hot start, You're Texas Tech Red Raiders are off
to a hot start. They're they're beating everybody. And not
only are they beating people, they're beating the snot out
of people. Okay, so that was a hyped game yesterday
(08:23):
against Houston, Right, Yeah, it's an undefeated Houston squad who's unranked.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I get it. But then you know you're seeing different
play out here.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And my thing about the game yesterday, Yes, I was
watching ou but at the same time I'm watching Texas.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Why am I doing that?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Because well, I have a radio show and I have
to keep my eye on Texas.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Because you just got my opponent. Well yeah, but really, and.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I'm going to say this to Texas fans right now,
your quarterback looks like Jackson Arnold.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
He holds the ball too long, he does.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
And that's going to kill him next week because yes, oh,
you might not have their quarterback MATERI, you know, And
I don't think you're really worried about that. When your
defense is top five in the country and you're not
worried about putting up a lot of points, you know why,
because you can stop a lot of points. Now, there
are some weaknesses in ou that arch man is probably
(09:21):
gonna study this week and realize that there's a freshman
cornerback on one side and he's got to do a
lot of matchups there. But he holds onto that ball
too long. He was doing that yesterday, you know. In
a good friend of the show, Trudy, she was like
texting us and she says, I want him off the roster.
Texas fans are already getting to that point. And I
don't blame them at this point, because this was a
(09:42):
game that arch Manning should have been flexing in, should
have done something in and the end of the game
for him to spike the ball and everybody thought there
was one second left.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
He didn't a clock management. You know what that was?
That was Dak Prescott in the playoffs against the exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I texted a friend Cam and I said, hey, that
was a Dak Prescott move.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
After you got to know the situation. The clock is running,
you have new timeouts. You can't spike it. You just
gotta you just gotta snap and throw it that you
don't have time to spike the ball. But I mean,
I know we're coming up on a break, but we
gotta get some love to UCLA, the least likely upset.
I thought we were gonna see they played the coach
after three games. Yeah, and they come in with with
Rick new Heizel's son as the play Calleren State definitely overrated.
(10:28):
That was Nico amp Nico. I'm not gonna try and
puzzin the last name. Nico's best game since he was
in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, no, I agree, you know, And then uh, Bill
Brindle's here on Facebook and you can join us there too.
He's he's stating that Texas is a troubled team, and
I think they are.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I mean, they've got to go to Dallas and they're
coming in, you know, limping.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
But the thing that I would put this on is
forget the records next weekend, you know, And that's what
you do. It's Texas Oklahoma, you know. It's it's a matchup.
It's a two thirty matchup, you know, and it hasn't
been two thirty in a long time. But I think
the surprise in the SEC owe you I'm supprise. Well
(11:09):
I'm not, you're not, but I think a majority of
people are sure because I can tell you this. I
don't get a lot of text messages anymore, you know.
I don't get the bye bye Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I don't do, you know. And I'm not saying that
Texas is done.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I mean they're oh to one in the SEC, which
is scary to be oh to one right now. And
you haven't really gone through your gauntlet yet, and neither
has Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Let's be real.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Auburn's Auburn, and Oklahoma's undefeated against Auburn. They've always been
They've always get that win against Auburn. They're gonna start
their gauntlet this week, you know, and we'll see where
OHU is standing at the end of it. But if
I'm Brint Vinnables. I don't think I'm gonna play Materier.
(11:55):
There's really no reason to. Now Materiar's gonna suit up.
Trust me, there's gonna be that confusion. And they did
that yesterday with Materia doing pregame in his helmet, in
his shoulder pads, throwing the ball, handing the ball off,
going through his routines. They're going to throw that to Texas.
But I don't think you have to play him. I
think Hawkins can handle Texas.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Is this because you're the confidence that if material let's say,
let's say material will be cleared after this week, right,
so that'd be three weeks off.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Are you telling me that with Wylcaholma's playing right now,
you have enough confidence that they can make the playoffs
essentially to where like you're you're okay, potentially swallowing a
loss of Texas if he weren't to play, if you
weren't to play.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Some my confidence leveling OU is backed because of the defense.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yes, I think that OU's defense.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yes, we've got to go into Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and we've
got to play Alabama.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Pavia had him, had him in the first half. He
almost had him, you know, and Bama's not Bama. Right,
they're beatable.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
They don't seem as intimidate as they used to. No,
you have to respect the home field advantage.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
But you're right.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
If Nick Sabman was on the other side of the sideline, yeah,
there'd be some difference, Okay, but he's not there anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Bama is.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
The SEC is changing, thank god, because it used to
be Bama and Georgia and that was all who we
talked about, you know, we didn't talk about anybody else.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Well, LSU was in there kind of kind of, but
then they had that one year with burrowing.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
There they do, but then they go off and get
a stupid loss.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
You know that.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That's the problem with LSU, you know. And still I
have LSU kind of coming out of the SEC, you know,
because again, oh you's got to face them. Now, that's
going to be a game in Norman. That's gonna be fun.
But if you're an OU guy like I am, the
defense is what wins championships. I hate to let me
be a cowboy fan here real quick as back and
(13:43):
here two thousand oh U's offense sucked as much as
we want to say, oh, they were great.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
They were this, they were that hype got us to.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
The No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Look at the score and figure out that, oh, it
was the defense that won that championship for OU.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
It's like thirteen to three or something.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It's come full circle now it's been twenty five years, right,
but we're coming full circle to know that OU's defense
could possibly get them to the playoffs because, yeah, you
go through the gauntlet. Yeah, you get two or three losses,
you're still eligible because of what conference you're in.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Well, also just because of how highly ranked you are.
Now you get consideration for that too.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
True.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And let's not forget about people like the old Miss.
The old you know, Mississippi State's finally falling off.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I'm not as well.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Let's not forget about Texas A and M. I'm not
as sold on LSU as I was at the start
of the season. I feel like they're I feel like
they're not. They're not the same boat as Texas, but
they're very much a defensive team with a with a
issue at quarterback. Daron usmart does not look as good
as he did last year. Yeah, I think LSU might.
I think Ole Miss honestly might be a bigger threat
to you all than the LSU.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
We'll see.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
If I'm being right, I think Ole Miss might be
more of a contender in the SEC this year than
LSU is.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah, but coming up next, we're gonna go over all
of Saturday's college football, will kind of have a little finale,
AIX college Football Final for you. That's all next on
the Fanatics on Ticket seven sixty
