WEBVTT -  Brendan Sorsby LEAVES Texas Tech

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 1>O Hey, some more breaking news on the Brendan Soresby front.

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>This will be the final bit of breaking news because

0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the breaking news is he is leaving Texas Tech. He

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>is entering the supplemental Draft. This has been a wild story.

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>This is right in comparison to like the Niko Yamaliava

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>story from last year, which was an entirely different set

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>of circumstances, but it was sort of roughly around this

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>time and it dominated the headlines. This is dominated the headlines. Look,

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't cover the NFL. I don't know how the

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>NFL will view him, truth be told, I don't even

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.639
<v Speaker 1>know how the supplemental draft process works. We hardly ever

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 1>talk about it. But as far as the college football

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 1>world is concerned, as far as Texas Tech is concerned,

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>look very very clearly to me, given the circumstances, this

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>is the best outcome for all parties. I know it

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>may not sound like that for Texas Tech, but trust me,

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Well you don't need to trust me, but in my opinion,

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 1>given the circumstances, this is the best outcome for all parties.

0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>It was going to be really, really ugly between now

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 1>and the start of the season, and even if Soresby

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>got to the start of the season and ended up

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>starting for Texas Tech, it was going to be real ugly.

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean there was there were headlines as late as

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>this morning or as recently as this morning that the

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Big Twelve was seeking legal action of their own and

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.400
<v Speaker 1>it was just obvious that the other member institutions in

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.119
<v Speaker 1>that conference, We're not going to sit aside and let

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>this happen. And whether they tried and failed or tried

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>and succeeded, it was going to be real ugly. And

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anyone really was prepared for that. Anyone

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>wanted to go through that. And so Brendan Soresby included,

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>is not going to go through that. He's going to

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>head off to the NFL. All you can do at

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>this point is really learned from it. And there's going

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>to be a lot of mud thrown Texas Tech's way.

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Some of it they deserve, some of it they do

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>not deserve. And I'll dive into that. I've shared thoughts

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>on this, I'll share thoughts on it for a final

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:09.679
<v Speaker 1>time now. But what do you learn from it? Brendan Soresby,

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>not evenwithstanding like as far as Texas Tech goes, what

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>do you learn from it? Because on one hand, this

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>stuff didn't happen on their watch. They go get the

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>best player that they can get at the quarterback position,

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>and then this stuff gets dropped in your lap. You

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>gotta be ready for crisis at all times. You just

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta be ready for it. I literally sat in Joey

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>McGuire's office a couple of weeks ago was talking about

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>this very thing, about not knowing where the crisis is

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 1>going to come from, but you just know inevitably it's

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>going to happen, and being prepared for it on the

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>front end. Now, this was not merely a Joey McGuire problem.

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:50.359
<v Speaker 1>This was Texas Tech in totality dealing with a crisis.

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>And I thought they did a good job in some ways. Frankly,

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I thought they did a piss poor job in other ways.

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>We talked about it on the Sunday Night Show just

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>when the injunction happened. I thought it was a massive

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>optical misstep to record and release that twenty one to

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty two some odd minute video. It didn't even matter

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 1>if everything you said and it was accurate. It didn't

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 1>matter if those were your authentic feelings. All thatwithstanding, it

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>was terrible. It was a terrible decision. Having said that,

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 1>there was a ton of validity to what they were

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>saying about Brendan Sores mean, I make no mistake, he's

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 1>there and they were fighting for him to the degree

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>they were because he's a really good quarterback and he

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>could help them win games. But that doesn't mean they

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>were lying when they said what they said about how

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>they feel about him, how they care about him. I've

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>been out there recently, so I feel even more qualified

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>than most to talk about this. All that is authentic.

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And then some guys at of there's a lot of

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>steps they've taken, a lot of effort that's been made

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>out there that they didn't even publicize. That sort of

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 1>would illustrate how far beyond the PA they've tried to

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>go to help him. So I don't want to lose

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>sight of that. Okay, but you can credit them while

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 1>also being fairly critical of maybe the optics of the

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. Drop this piece of paper for a second.

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I had to gather thoughts on this, but all you

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>can do is learn from it, so you know, hopefully

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>for Texas Tech's say nothing like this ever happens there again,

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>but on their front, Are you more prepared to deal

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>with stuff when it does drop in your lap? I

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>would imagine yes. I of course care about the Brendan

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Soresby side of it, because this is not some bad person.

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.479
<v Speaker 1>It's a normal dude who, by the way, made a

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>mistake that a lot of other guys out there have

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 1>made and are currently making. Please don't misconstrue this as

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>some rogue, isolated example. He's the one who got caught.

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Any of you who have ever been pulled over for

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 1>a speeding ticket, no good and well you could look

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>at that cop and say, well, why didn't you get

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.719
<v Speaker 1>the one behind me or the two cars in front

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 1>of me. Well, it's because I got you. And I

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of you guys watch the show. I

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of you guys see this video. Just stop.

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.839
<v Speaker 1>If you're doing it right now, just stop. If you're

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>playing college football, do not bet. I'd advise you not

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to bet on college football, but especially don't be betting

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>on your team. It's just the trade off. If you

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>get the luxury, if you get the blessing of being

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>able to play this game. That's one of the contracts

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 1>socially and legally that you sign you can't do it, okay,

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 1>So those are lessons that need to be learned. I

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>would also say that from the administrative side of it, Okay,

0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>right now, we just watched an entire episode go down

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.919
<v Speaker 1>where the governing body of this sport failed to be

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>able to enforce basic rules. I mean, don't bet on

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.159
<v Speaker 1>the games that you're in is one of the most

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>basic rules. It's like etchton Stone and one of the

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>commandments basically, and the NCAA couldn't even enforce that. It's

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 1>not even all of their fault, like they're powerless to

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>enforce their and so I don't know that anyone who's

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>been paying attention needed to learn the lesson that the

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>NCAA is ineffective, maybe beyond repair at this point. But

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>if you needed this to illustrate that, there you go. Okay.

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 1>So that's another lesson that could be learned. I think

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that looking on r M from a media standpoint, from

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>the way that sports betting messaging advertising is presented, the

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>way it's presented in game though toy partnerships work, I

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 1>think it's totally fair to be critical of that or

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>to at least look at that with a skeptical eye.

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Of course, in this case, what that sounds like is,

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>wait a second. The entire space has been proliferated with

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 1>gambling messaging and sports betting advertising, and yet this kid's

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>got to get blacklisted for the rest of time because

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 1>he participated in what is being advertised and thrown in

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:03.239
<v Speaker 1>everyone's face. That is fair to me. Now, I will

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>say on our show, it's why we message the way

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>we do like FanDuel's been a great partner with us.

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>But I think I've told this story before. When we

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>sat down with them, I just said, point blank, I

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 1>don't think that I'm prepared to maybe message the way

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>that is standard across the industry. You've got to give

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 1>me some rope to talk about the darker side of

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. You've got to give me some rope to

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>talk about the addictive nature of it. And they've been

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>a great partner on that front. It's the only reason

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>that we partnered with FanDuel because there were some other ones.

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Believe me when I tell you this that we're not

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>on board with us talking like that that should be

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>standard is the other lesson. I think that very much

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 1>needs to be learned on maybe this side of the fence.

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>But there's going to be a lot of jokes about

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. I don't really find anything all that amusing

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>about it. Like I get people taking their show at

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Texas Tech and I understand, like, yeah, that video, it

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>was a really bad look. And just a few days

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>after they released that video it seems like it's all

0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>or not because Brendan Sorsby's moving on to the supplemental draft. Yeah,

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I get all that. I personally am going to just

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>speak for myself. I don't really think it's a joking matter.

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Maybe because I know the people involved. Maybe I'm too

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>close to the situation. But even if I wasn't, I

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 1>like to think i'd look at it and I'd be

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>more likely to kind of shake my head and say

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>that's a shame. Then I would be to look at

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>it and laugh. But this could have getten a lot uglier.

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>So the reason I say that this is best for

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>all parties is because it really could have gotten a

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:47.839
<v Speaker 1>lot uglier. I mean, I just imagine big twelve media

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.840
<v Speaker 1>days comes around and this thing's still not resolved. Imagine

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 1>that scene. I guess it would make for good theater.

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess it would be a soap opera. It would

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.959
<v Speaker 1>also be like really contentious, past the point of normal

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>competitive juices flowing. You'd have Texas Tech probably thinking some

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:10.400
<v Speaker 1>irrational things, probably considering some irrational decisions about their status

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>as a big twelve member institution. Couldn't even blame them.

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>There's some blame. I could loss Texas Tech's way, but

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 1>once you get in that situation, I could see it

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>going that way. Imagine the legal maneuvering. Imagine you know,

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>people trying to make a name for themselves politically in

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.520
<v Speaker 1>other states, and the legal moves that they would try

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>and make. Maybe when Texas Tech was going to play

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>one of their schools could have been a total mess.

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>And it has been, but it could have been a

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.559
<v Speaker 1>lot worse. I've heard from a lot of Texas Tech

0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>fans during this whole ordeal, and I'm kind of in

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a unique position where if we have a big story

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 1>like the Brendan Soursby story has been, I'm gonna hear

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>from hundreds to in this case, probably a couple of

0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>thousand Texas Tech fans, and it gives me a really

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 1>really good idea of what the collective mindset of the

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 1>fan base is, and you may think as an outsider,

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>if you're a UMass fan and you don't know any

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Texas Tech folks, you may think, oh, boy, man, I

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>bet they've locked arm in arm and they got torch

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 1>in one hand and pitchfork in the other, and they're

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>in full on cult mode. They're all drinking the kool aid. No,

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 1>they weren't. They were not. Now, they're very passionate about

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.559
<v Speaker 1>their program and they want to win as bad as anyone.

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>But a surprising number of Texas Tech fans have sort

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>of behind the scenes, you know, been in my dms

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.839
<v Speaker 1>or interacting with the show saying, we don't love this.

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:38.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if he starts for us, we're going to

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>root for him, but this is not a spot we

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 1>like B and M. And as soon as the news

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 1>broke tonight, I haven't even I mean, I'm looking right

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 1>now at my phone. I got tons of an open

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>dms from Texas Tech fans saying, yeah, I kind of

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>probably probably what's best, probably the best case scenario here.

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's just move forward now in the moment, right now,

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I know it feels messy. It's June fifteenth. Some big

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>story will come along or a half dozen big stories

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>will come along, and then Fall camp will come along,

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 1>and then the lead up to week one will come along,

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>and you'll remember this, but it'll become a distant memory.

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 1>And it's not that everyone will automatically adopt Texas Tech

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 1>as their number two program or anything like that. But

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>it won't feel then like it feels now. But it's

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 1>not like a lot of people have painted this is Oh,

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it's become the world versus Texas Tech. Well, I don't

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:38.319
<v Speaker 1>necessarily think that's the case. It was the world pretty

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>collectively behind the idea that this is wrong. If that

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.559
<v Speaker 1>dude plays college football, it's wrong. Most of the world

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 1>felt that way. But like I felt that way. I

0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>love Texas Tech. I love the folks inside the program.

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I love Joey Kirby. Holcut's a great dude. I love

0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty much everyone I've met there. So it's not it's

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>a very isolated thing because I think there may be

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people who feel like me, and they

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>look and say, guys, don't do this, don't this is

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 1>not the hill to die on. And it looked for

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>a while like they were gonna push and I get it, man,

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.320
<v Speaker 1>when you're in the foxhole, it becomes personal. I've talked

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 1>to Joey Maguire about that. I get that emotion, but

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.439
<v Speaker 1>people like me look at it. And now that this

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 1>matter has resolved itself, I'm right back to looking at

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 1>Texas Tech identifying with them, respecting the heck out of

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the way they run the program, This whole deal notwithstanding.

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.439
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think it's you know, the world against

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Texas Tech. They probably in the aggregate, polarized a few

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 1>more people, or maybe mobilized the whatever the opposite of

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 1>fandom is against them a little bit more. That's okay,

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 1>that's okay. College football needs heels to can't just have

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of babyfaces. But one of my buddies, right

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>before I pressure, I saw him text me and he said, well,

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 1>does this take Texas Tech out of the running? No,

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 1>it does not. It does not take Texas Tech out

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 1>of the running. Texas Tech's still gonna be very tough

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.640
<v Speaker 1>out this fall. Texas Tech's still going to be really

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>difficult to deal with this fall. And remember it's June fifteenth,

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:24.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not September fifteenth. So did they lose Brendan Soresby today? Yeah?

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>But they've also never had him. He's never played a

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.840
<v Speaker 1>game there Will Hammond has and you know it wasn't

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna be one on one. This is not Big twelve tennis.

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>This is Big twelve football. So they'll still have eleven

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 1>on the field this fall, and they're going to be

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.840
<v Speaker 1>really good, and that roster probably will still be better

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>than any other roster in the Big twelve. And they're

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 1>still going to be tough to deal with. And while

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the outside world will take the shots and people including

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 1>me will think whatever we think inside the walls of

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 1>that building, you've got a head coach and you've got

0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>a staff that is very equipped to turn this into

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 1>a galvanizing moment, and I think they will. So we

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>were out there a few weeks ago, and when we

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.680
<v Speaker 1>had Joey maguire sit down with us, one of the

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.760
<v Speaker 1>things he said, because at the time the court proceedings

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 1>were still ongoing, is he said, I like my team

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 1>this fall, regardless who starts for us at quarterback. And

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he was just saying that because it

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 1>sounded good. So Brendan Sores be moving on. I think

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>it's best for all parties, given where we are at

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the moment. Of course, the best thing would have been

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 1>for it to never happened, but given that it happened,

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the best for all parties. Just learn

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 1>from it and move on, thanks to all you can do.

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 1>No matter who you are in this little circumstance, that's

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 1>all you can do at this point.
