Bill Here, I have 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:52.640 returned like Rob and ever as we are two days 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.040 away from the road to the super Bowl. Whoa Bill 0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:00.240 Jones and lockstep with Jerry Jones. There you go show. 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.800 We missed you yesterday, William Well, I missed y'all too. 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.800 I missed y'all, but I know that you filled. Rob 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:13.600 filled this seat very capably and physically. Yes, I did 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:18.280 my best. I did my best. And now wow, we're 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.399 already previewing. I mean, we are making picks at the 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.200 end of this show. It it's on a Tuesday. I 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.399 got no pick because the team is traveling tomorrow and 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.280 so we won't be nothing doing Talking Cowboys tomorrow. That's lazy. Wait, wait, 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.960 don't you haven't even thought about it? About it? Yeah? 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.119 Because you aren't on the same schedule as the team. 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.600 In the morning, that score just comes to me. Yeah, 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.320 it's like that, yea. And the team is out on 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.800 the practice field okay, outdoors three days in a row. Day, yes, 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.000 three days in a row. Do you understand why? Yeah? 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:57.080 Because Gronk said that they practiced too much inside. No, 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:02.320 I was gonna say this thing. Now, do you realize 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.680 this is the first grass game since the second game 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.639 of the season. I did not realize that that's why 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.799 they're out there. Yeah, Washington the last one, right, Yes, 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.880 So there's a big sign in the locker room about 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.880 what kind of cleats to use to get used to 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:22.240 what they're projecting. The field would be at Soldier Field, 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.079 so they haven't had to wear any grass cleats since 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:31.880 Washington week two. That rock that does this? Is it 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:36.280 that difficult as you tell me? Wow? I just thought 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:40.760 shoes with shoes changed cleats for change gates. But I 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.920 didn't have to practice on grass before I played on glass. 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.680 I grew up on grass. But doesn't doesn't that help 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.800 your legs? Though? Glass definitely helps my legs and it 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:56.160 slows down those little jack rabbit Why to think I 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.160 can figure them out? A little bit quicker, are you 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.679 are you just put that in their minds right, Yeah, 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:05.359 you're slower they are. Having said that the turf is 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.440 a little different than it was back in your day, 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.680 we'll see it. And and my turf my home was turf, 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.320 which put me at disadvantage because trust me, they are quicker. 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.520 They feel quicker on AstroTurf that they just seem to 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.480 have a little bit more bounce. So I have to 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:25.919 speed up my brain at home, like AstroTurf. Yeah, be 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:31.639 worth stadiums. I believe we're probably with Minneapolis Chicago. When 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.359 your tackle, does it feel like you're landing on the soda? 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:41.880 Minneapolis chicasogo and wait, Minnieapolis Chicago astrodome. The astrodome was 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:46.440 the worst. Well you, sunny, you mentioned the astrodome and AstroTurf. 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.400 I would love to ask my sunning laws, who are 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:54.240 all yeah, age twenty five through thirty three, if they 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.440 have any idea what how the term AstroTurf ever came about, 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.960 or if they've ever heard of the term astro turf 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:05.480 that follow that, follow that up, if what their interpretation is. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:14.320 If you say, yeah, and we're playing on grass, We'll 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:20.839 let me say that Vicky's that's that common side track here, 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:27.360 Like I said, went over my way, over my head. 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:32.400 I just got it. You. I don't think you should 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.760 make a huge deal out of Hey, we're playing on grass, 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.640 just we you know, except for the weather, except for 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.120 just you know what mother nature brought. The field itself 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.040 was never anything that we had to just master that 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.760 week before we played. You know. But there's different cleats though, right, Yeah, 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.760 it's different cleats. Stop saying that, man, damn it. I 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.640 know it's different cleats. It's like the Mutters we used 0:04:55.680 --> 0:05:00.599 to play with the high school, right but just it, Um, 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.640 I don't I didn't think it took that much of 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.320 an effort just because you're playing on a different type 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.080 of turf. Let me ask you this, Mickey Um. In 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.599 the past, has Jason Garrett when they played at Washington, 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.880 they always practiced the whole week, not the whole week, right, 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:21.880 So that's different grass all all training camp too, right way, Yeah, 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:23.719 I don't think it's. I don't think they're trying to 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.920 mimic the weather this week. I mean it's it's it's 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:30.120 gonna be sixty degrees today and sunny, and you know, yeah, 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.760 you won't get that. Well, Chicago on Thursday night, you 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:39.280 either here your preference, regardless of whether it's turf or grass. 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:44.039 Would you rather practice in nice weather outdoors or inside? Oh? 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.000 Nice weather outdoor? Exactly? Nice? Weak? Do I mean you come? 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.440 I'm a Texas guy, Like I said, we grew up 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:54.120 on just grass and so you know, playing all those years, 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.440 you know, teenager whatever. We didn't even know what astro 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.440 turf was when we first got on astro if that 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.880 was like a luxury you're in high schools. I never 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.640 played on it. I didn't play on it until I 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.200 got into college and at by your Classic for the 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.600 most part. So that was big time stuff back then, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.919 and it was nice and new. But then as you 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.520 started getting into it, you realize the dangers of it, 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.880 you know, to your body and also to your psyche. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.400 If you have somebody running a four three running right 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.760 by you and you're wondering, like, wow, that guy's much 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.440 faster than usual, you know, than he is on glass. 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.839 So yeah, that was new then. Now it's just normal. 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.560 It's no big deal. I think the first time I 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.280 saw grass field, or actually I mean an artificial turf field, 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.520 was between my junior and senior year in high school, 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.599 we went to Northern Illinois for a journalism workshop and 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.880 we got to play off like a pick up football 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:55.840 game on their field and was like whatever, I mean, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.960 I don't know. It was a middle linebacker. It was 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:05.240 a gradassket right. You realize how that turf was if 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.159 you fell on it, like all of a sudden, you 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.120 skin your knees up, and it's like, who wants a 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.400 play on this stuff? And in the astro in the 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:15.800 astrodome you could actually see where the stitching was failing. Yeah. Yeah, 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.360 it was just gaps about the Eagle stadium just as 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.920 bad if worthy. Right. Oh yeah, I believe that was 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:25.480 can I mean with the why I received his name 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:31.240 to two acls on the same play, Yes, toward both 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:36.640 as I want to say, maybe Yesdell Davis from I 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.320 think he was the LSU kid. Oh yeah. It was 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.440 like carpet that had gaps in it. Basically it was 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.120 creat that was painted grain. Michael Irvin can tell you 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:47.640 all about it. Yeah, um, you know. But in the 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.600 past and in fact for since last year, Cowboys getting 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.840 on a roll. I mean, Jason Garrett is on a 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:58.480 routine that they are going outdoors for practice on Wednesday, 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.840 and it's inside the rest of the week. And and 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.760 I include that went on this year as well. But 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.840 you know, he is a creature of routine as far 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.880 as that goes, And so it is it's a reason, 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:12.880 I mean a lot, a lot of it is if 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.080 the team's going, well, we're going to do the same thing. 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.840 You know, it's almost like a superstition. Maybe he's just 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.080 given up on the security part of it. It's like 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.960 anybody watching watch us practice, go ahead, Yeah, we got 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.080 no secrets anymore. Yeah, all right. It was a very 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.840 short Jason Garrett press conference today. The media out of 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:34.720 questions after about three about about the Jerry Jones on 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:38.480 the fan making headlines this morning with his spot on 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.559 the fan this morning. I think every question for fifteen 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.240 minutes was about Jason Garrett. Am I wrong, No, you're right, 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:50.480 just just his faith in Jason and um what he 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.600 needs to do to secure another contract. And Jerry doubled 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.720 down on what he said after the game. Yeah, and 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.040 question we wanted to know what it was, and Jerry said, 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:05.880 there's no bar. So that for what it's worth, not 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.520 that there isn't a level that you have to get 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.920 to in terms of performance. Yeah, six and ten is 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.719 probably not going to get it done. But look at it, 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.920 all of that makes sense until after the season, right, 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:23.000 it's all predicating on how far he goes. If we 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.440 do wild card round, yes that's a great win. But 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.600 if you lose the next week in the division opener, 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.240 then he's out. I believe if he goes to the 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.959 to the championship, to the next round NFC Championship, then 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.840 I think we're talking a whole different thing because if 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.920 we're in that NFC Championship, that means things have started clicking, 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:48.400 and that's the Jason Garrett and the Cowboys that we've 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.200 expected all along. And then Jerry Jones will sit there 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.000 and say, see that's why I waited. Here go Jason, 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.720 this is a contract. Well it Rob told me what 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.040 he said. I said, what was the gist of everything 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.280 he said? And he told me the most important thing 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.920 and I had to wait like seventeen minutes through the 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.720 press conference for the last thing. He said, Jason Garrett 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.120 to be coaching in the NFL next in the NFL. Yes, 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.360 that was the headline maker. Yeah, and then it was 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.959 thanks Jerry. Yeah, they didn't even well, they were out 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.800 of time, out of time, So that was the last 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.760 time I didn't hear it. That was the last thing yourself. Okay, okay, Rob, 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:31.600 brief us like you something, Man, I have to do 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.439 a good job as well. I mean, I don't care 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.199 if you're out of time. You've got the odor. He's 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:42.079 not going to pedalyze the station. That's a cliffhanger. It's 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:46.680 like a Sopranos ending to five years of shows. Right, 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.040 So when I listened to the archive, I'll have to 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.520 do is go to the n to the end. Okay, 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.079 all right? That was that was the money quote. Yeah, 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.920 that is a money quote, Rob, Rob. He summed it 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.599 up perfectly for me. When when I asked him what 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.880 you said, Uh, he said Jason to be coaching in 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.000 the NFL. That is so cryptic. I didn't think Jerry 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.680 had that in it. That's very cool. I mean he's 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:14.240 endorsing Jason as a terrific coach. I mean he said 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.640 he's he's the guy for the job. He also said 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.800 that Paul Mesican. But again it goes back to the 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.319 very last thing he said, and that's what the media 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.319 is jumping on to. Hey, anybody out they want to 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:24.679 take him out of my hands, Like, what is that. 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:29.520 He's here, he'll be available. Well, the topic column us 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.240 in New York are projecting he'll be the new Giants. 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.600 I'm sure are they? I know it's been already, it 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.800 really has. And I would imagine that cryptic statement that'll 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.600 help you they ate. Oh my goodness, Yeah, greaz Well, 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.880 I was listening this morning to a Chicago station trying 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:50.800 to get a feel on what they're talking about about 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.360 the Bears, and they're they're talking about the Cubs. They're 0:11:53.400 --> 0:12:00.360 not talking about the Bears, but because they did Russell, yeah, yeah, 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:04.120 and so anyway, but they did say they did have 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.319 a Bears beat writer to come on, and they referenced 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:12.200 the Jerry Jones quote and about Jason Garrett, and so 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.160 it's you know, in this day and age, he says 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:19.119 anything on a Tuesday morning, Jerry Jones is making headlines 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.000 around the nation, if not the world with what he 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.440 says on that radio station. Well, I gotta say, I mean, 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.560 there's a few coaches that could be in Jason Garrett's 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.760 same position right now. Chicago coach. Everybody was crazy about him, 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.079 you know, I know they're not putting the trigger this quickly, 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.640 but still the inconsistencies by these teams that were just 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:41.560 lauded last year to be the up and coming, especially 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:43.720 from the QB positions, and now all of a sudden, 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.840 you know, we've got these same problems that Chicago has 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.080 always had back to where they were. The Rams were 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.240 supposed to be so amazing. You know, head coach is 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.479 supposed to be this genius. He's on talk shows, he's 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.000 probably hanging out with Jimmy Kimmel, and now all of 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.720 a sudden they can't, except for this last game, they can. 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.040 But it's like it's week to week with these teams, 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.520 you know, and Cleveland was going to the super Here 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.600 you go, kitchens Is even had a leg record yet 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.160 and they were going to the super Bow. Well, I 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.400 mean these next three opponents, not to look past the 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.960 Bears are a lot of ways it's mirror images of 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.920 each other. I mean, it's three opponents they've got coming up, 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.880 just like the Cowboys, the league playoff teams last year, Philly, 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:28.199 LA and Chicago that have just struggled to find any 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.600 type of consistency that they had last year. It's not 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.240 just this team, and it's so strange when you look 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.600 at these teams that were just I mean, they were 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.040 just the darlings of the NFL. Trubisky was on as well, 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.120 on his way man, and now all of a sudden, 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.640 they just let you know how how how tough it 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.200 is to be consistent as a player. Okay, you we 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.439 take for granted the Georgians, the Lebrons, and the I mean, 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.920 we can just even stay local with the larger starbacks 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.080 that Tony Dorsets, the Image Smiths. We take for granted 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.080 their consistency, and we just talk about the interceptions that 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:03.679 we got here that was taken for granted. It's like, oh, 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.599 that's what we're doing around here. I copied off of 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.679 Charlie Waters. Somebody else copied off of me. That culture 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.400 will continue, No, man, that is that is not always 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.880 the case. And it's so confusing as to why in 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.000 such a short period of time these guys have showed 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.680 this inconsistency on several teams that we've been looking at. 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.800 You know, it reminded me of that when I saw 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:31.480 Zekiel Elliott's rushing total and somewhat caught me by surprise 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.400 because I hadn't been following it week to week, he's 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.800 got nine hundred and ninety yards of rushing, so he 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:40.240 needs ten yards for a thousand yard season, which would 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.680 be three out of four and would have had four 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.720 out of four if not for the suspension. Right, he 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.120 came up to sixty yards short. So I said, oh, yeah, 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.520 what's the record? Why? I said, well, it's Emmett Smith, right, 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:55.360 eleven consecutive one of thousand yards seasons. Wow. And it's 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.160 not just a thousand, right, any running back these days, 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.600 on us level, on Zeke's level, a thousand, they would 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:07.240 be disappointed just seventeen. Yeah, way more than a thousand. Yes, 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.240 that's the consistency. That's impressive. That's and that's why I 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:14.640 always thought that was what made Emmett special, his consistencies. 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.720 And he had always talked about that, what do you 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.320 want to He goes, I don't want to be one 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.960 of these guys where oh I get fourteen hundred, then 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.240 I get eight hundred. I want to be consistent. And 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:27.000 he worked very hard at being consistent and he probably 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:32.520 and he came up short three seasons in the nine hundreds, 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.440 so he would have had fourteen if if if David 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.520 Shula would have handled handed him the ball his rookie 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.200 year at ninety he would have had a thousand yards 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.280 his rookie season and then the other last the last 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.080 two that he didn't have. He was in the nine 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.320 hundreds and they were awful those years, so he could 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.800 have had fourteen consecutive one thousand yards seasons. And I 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.960 like that. I like the way he did it versus 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.720 say La Damian Thomason. You know, everybody made that big push. 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.320 He made the big push for two thousand. Well after 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.800 the two thousand man he was done right, you know, 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.040 you push for that two thousand, that's great, you know, 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:13.000 but Emmett was clearly more consistent, and that's what puts 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.200 him at the top, because you know, you start going 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:21.520 for these mercurial and hook your leading efforts with two 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.440 thousand yards, you don't realize how much your body is 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.720 taking on. I don't care what size you are, I 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.240 don't care how big the opponent is. You run for 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.320 two thousand yards, that means you're getting a whole lot 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.920 more hits. You're getting a whole lot more hits, and 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.120 you don't realize it because of the euphoria of what 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.160 you're doing and all of a suddenly in the offseason 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:44.120 and then the next season comes around, it's just something's gone. Yeah, 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.960 something's depleted. It's like you played two seasons in one. Wow. 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.960 It might have caught up with DeMarcus Murder DeMarco, DeMarco Murray, 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.920 DeMarcus DeMarco because he had those three I think it 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.120 was three in a row thousand, but he hit that 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.600 what was in seventeen eighteen hundred and my favorite guy, 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.920 by the way, nothing after one of the most day. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:06.320 He had a ton of touches in college too. Yeah 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:10.000 that was this is pro. That's post knee surgery as well, 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.720 because in college he was much faster. But yeah, when 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:14.320 he got here he had to change his whole style 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.200 of running. Amazing to me, he was real pro. Yeah, 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.199 he really was. I love that guy. Yeah, he was 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.600 one of my favorites.

Well, you mean there 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.600 they will, Bill And I think they will. I think 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:34.200 Baylor will be the out in full force. You know 0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:37.399 OU played TCU two your great last year. It was 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:39.520 OU in Texas. I mean that thing and what a 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:44.119 scene that was the year before TCU against Ou, and 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.639 it was I was very surprised how there were so 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.040 many more OU fans there than TCU fans there or 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.600 TCU bit now it's smaller school or whatever. But they, 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:55.800 you know, the city of Fort Worth didn't jump in 0:20:56.000 --> 0:21:00.360 like they normally do. But I think every Virtue, every 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:02.560 Baptist in North Texas is going to try to be 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:04.560 at this one because I think Baylor's got a good 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:09.920 shot at Battista A Law. That's the thing. That Baylor's got. 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:13.800 They've gave got quite a clientele out there. Okay, So 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:18.480 so every Baptist in North Texas be at at AT 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:21.040 and T Stadium because it could be this could be 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.879 the biggest win in Baylor football hit. Baylor's had a 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:28.399 lot of football, great football wins. But Baylor has a 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:31.960 chance to make this college football playoff if if Oregon 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:35.159 knocks off Utah on Friday night, they'll know before the 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:37.800 game on Saturday that if they win that game, they 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:40.320 got as good a shot as anybody I'm getting in 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.880 that four team playoffs since Alabama got beat on Saturday, 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:47.639 four spots up for grads, up for grass Right in 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:51.320 the seat geek dot com.

You're 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.479 hoping to. I've got a little high school football game 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:05.960 I'm interested into at two thirty, which is South Lake 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:09.520 Carol and Duncanville, which is the battle of heavyweights. That's 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:12.560 a monster game in McKinney at two thirty on Saturday. 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:18.119 Finally lost to that tought. Yeah, but Lone Star's got 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:21.120 a quite a team. Frisco lone Star and that went 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.720 went to overtime Love Texas High School. Yeah, it's great. 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:26.800 So when do the other conference championship? When are they played? 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:29.760 PAC twelve is Friday night its word to get in 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:33.280 Utah SEC, which is Georgia and LSU is at two 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:37.400 thirty on Saturday afternoon. The ACC game, which is Clemson 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:41.320 versus Virginia, is at six o'clock Saturday night, and Ohio 0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:43.680 State in Wisconsin the Big Ten title game is seven 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.680 o'clock Saturday night. So if I went to the Big 0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:50.359 if I went to Baylor, Oklahoma, that's an eleven AM, 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:52.680 I would not get home in time to watch the 0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:55.280 start of the SEC.

I think you touched on it earlier, 0:23:22.040 --> 0:23:25.200 and it's about the the problems with the teams that 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:27.480
