And here pretty soon, I think the end of next week there's going to be a big SEC celebration on the UT campus.

Speaker 2: 2:56

Mm-hmm, yeah, I heard about that and we got. Who Is it? Pitbull, Pitbull.

Speaker 1: 3:06

Mr International Dalet. I really don't know what he says there, Dalet.

Speaker 2: 3:14

I don't know what that means. I probably need to Google search it but it's going to be fun, man. You know Texas put on a hell of a party for its fans, so it'll be fun out there. It's going to be hot, but it's going to be fun yeah.

Speaker 1: 3:24

Hey, you know what they do parties well here in Austin, texas. You know Greg Sankey, the SEC commissioner. He was talking about how both OU and Texas painted the SEC logo on their field already and he was talking about earlier this week on the Paul Feinbaum show about the social media hits that, those, the painting of the SEC logos, what all it produced. Obviously there's a ton of excitement At.

Speaker 4: 3:57

Austin and Norman in advanced football season. It's pretty cool, pretty rewarding, and it's in some ways hard to believe it's been three years, but really excited that the time is here and that that subdued celebration can be a joyous celebration as we move forward.

Speaker 1: 4:12

Yeah, I don't know that much about Sunday night in Austin, but I think I don't think it will be subdued. That's true man, he's not wrong?

Speaker 2: 4:21

Not at all.

Speaker 1: 4:24

Exactly so. That's the official day that Texas and Oklahoma become members of the South Eastern Conference. You know what? Let's just give a big salute to the Big 12. It was fun. It was fun.

Speaker 2: 4:38

Yeah, it was fun. That's the conference I played under. It was a lot of memories there. That's the conference I played under. It's a lot of memories there. I still have friends that hold Big 12 records, like in swimming and rowing and things like that, and that's pretty cool. You know they'll leave out with their record, you know.

Speaker 2: 5:01

So, yeah, but it's kind of bittersweet. You know, playing under the big 12 and we had when I played nebraska was a big powerhouse. We played all the time colorado. We had a little bit of rivalry towards the beginning of my uh, college career and then, uh, I loved playing Missouri. I loved going up to Missouri because my defensive coordinator, bull Reese, carl Reese, bull Reese, was a Missouri-Mizzou alumni so he loved getting up for that game. So it was always fun getting up to play up there.

Speaker 1: 5:37

Yeah, you know everybody has a lot of thoughts on the Big 12 towns and I've been to almost every one of them and I'm going to tell you what, man. Those are some great football towns Dating back to Lincoln, Nebraska. Unpopular opinion I really enjoyed Ames, Iowa. A lot of people don't.

Speaker 2: 5:56

You know what Ames was cool? The only thing I remember about Ames Iowa was the little bitty hotel that we had to stay in and we had to do our pregame meal in there and I remember looking over and there was a roach. It was a nice hotel.

Speaker 1: 6:12

It was a nice looking roach too, wasn't it? It was a nice looking roach as well, yeah exactly, it was a roach just crawling by.

Speaker 2: 6:20

But you know, I really like Little Manhattan Great fans yeah by, I really like Little.

Speaker 1: 6:25

Manhattan. Great fans, great atmosphere. Probably the best fan student section in the Big 12. One of the best in the country at Kansas.

Speaker 2: 6:34

State. The other memory I have of the Big 12 is going up to Colorado and playing in Colorado. We got in For some reason. We got in. It was later that night as we landed we couldn't really see the mountains and things like that. But you know, as a 19, 20-year-old kid waking up that next morning and I opened my blinds and this is like a movie that I opened my blinds and straight out in front of me at the West and we were standing at the West and I remember it like it was yesterday, as soon as I opened my blind it was snow cap mountains behind me, you know, and the kid from Shreveport, Louisiana, was like I'm in a different place right now and this is right, you know.

Speaker 1: 7:15

Yeah, so when in 07, when I flew from Oklahoma city to Boulder or Denver, then we had to drive to Boulder or Denver. Then we had to drive to Boulder, which is beautiful for the cover. It was Sam Bradford's first year as a starter.

Speaker 1: 7:28

And we flew up there to cover OU and we get there, cover the game. Amazing, they upset OU. That was one of their two losses that year. We stayed in Denver, woke up the next morning, it was a little cool. We stayed in Denver, woke up the next morning, it was a little cool. The tops of those mountains Did not have white on them the day before and it snowed in a higher elevation, so it's beautiful. But, man, speaking of Memories of Texas football, let's talk about the future. Hey, we are just weeks away from, uh, texas football starting to train for their first season in the sec. And you know one thing that I am not. I'm not jinxing it, it's not exaggerating, but Sark does a great job on recruiting quarterbacks. This young man, the son of former NBA star Roger Bell, dl Bell, qb, committed to Texas A lot of rumors involving NIL, but we're going to hear that moving forward, I think, for everybody that committed. So what do you know? What have you heard about this young man?

Speaker 2: 8:47

I haven't heard much. I did hear about him committing In Shark. I trust you know if he want to go after this guy, this is his guy, you know. So I'm going to trust that now and I'm looking to trust that now. I'm looking him up as we talk. But there's a kid out of Shreveport, louisiana, that's a pocket passer that can sling the ball too. His accuracy I've seen some videos of him. He has some really good accuracy, Accurate passes. So you know, hopefully Raja Bell is the guy.

Speaker 2: 9:31

Oh, that's not bad, I'm sorry, yeah, yeah, I hope the Bell kid is the guy. I'm sorry. I hope the Bell kid is the guy, but hopefully we're not missing out on somebody else. That's also good too. But I trust Sharkeesian, I trust his instincts. Hopefully we're not missing out on somebody else. That's also good too. So but I trust shark, he's in, I trust um his instincts is he's the quarterback's coach, he's the offensive coordinator, anything offense, I trust him yeah, right now.

Speaker 1: 9:57

Well, they're loaded right now. I mean, you've got obviously yours um, you've got a lot of talent in that quarterback room and don't underestimate Trey Owens. You never know. Yeah, you never know. And then of course there's a Manning kid, I hear in the quarterback room.

Speaker 2: 10:14

Exactly so. The kid out of Shreveport is 2027 class. What's his name? Peyton Houston. Peyton Houston, I'll send this to you right now, actually, so you can see it. I appreciate it. You can look at it later while we talk to our fans, that's right.

Speaker 1: 10:31

That's right. Hey, shoot us a comment right now. We would love your thoughts. Wherever you're watching, we want to hear from you and tell us about this quarterback room. Do you like this? Oh, I see it now. You got it from Rivalscom, stevie's a.

Speaker 2: 10:48

Rivals viewer.

Speaker 1: 10:49

There we go. We'll just reveal it.

Speaker 2: 10:50

Oh, it just came up. Someone sent it to me and I'm sending it to you.

Speaker 1: 10:53

I love it, man. You keep me informed because I'm not as dialed in as I used to be. I'll be honest with you, but we're trying. Let's focus. You know, I tell you what, if those of you who do not care much about college baseball, I invite you or encourage you to go to Omaha, nebraska.

Speaker 1: 11:12

We're down to the championship series and Tennessee coach Tony Vitello, who has done, he's fiery, he's got a lot of personality. Well, tennessee and A&M are playing and as we're recording this game, two of the championship series and A&M took that game one and this was Tony Vitello. After the 9-5 game, one of that championship series loss to the Aggies. You can either get frustrated that tonight went the way that it did or you can get more determined, and we've got guys that have done that in the past a lot where determination, you know, determination kicks up, play kicks up, pretty simple. Don't let one game turn into two losses, so to speak. So, as we're recording this, because Stevie and I have a weekend usually we have conflicting schedules, so we obviously you're watching this live stream, but we recorded this earlier.

Speaker 1: 12:11

So, as we speak, the Vols have responded. We're going to the uh looks like the bottom of the ninth inning and tennessee's up 4-1. And, yeah, a&m needs to rally as we are, or it's going to go to a game three, which will be third and decisive game. Um for the national championship. Uh, and it's going to be in prime time. Man Listen, I've been to both stadiums. I've only been to the new one as an employee covering the game. Yeah, but the former Rosenblatt Stadium, which was there for several, multiple decades, oh, it's stunning, it's heartbreaking when they tore it down. But the Aggies are one win away from winning a national championship. It's the first time they've ever been in played for a national championship in baseball.

Speaker 2: 13:05

Oh, it is.

Speaker 1: 13:06

Yeah, a&m yeah.

Speaker 2: 13:08

Oh, wow, yeah, that's news to me, man. That seems false, that seems fake news, but I believe you.

Speaker 1: 13:15

Fake news, but it is the truth and, to be honest with you, stevie, I've got to say it. We can't let this go without acknowledging it. A lot of people are talking about it. I've got some credible information, but I don't know. I just I'm not going to attribute it Because all I will say is both Jim Slosnagle, the head coach at A&M, and Tony Vitello, the head coach at Tennessee, and his pitching coach, frank Anderson, who was Augie Garrido's pitching coach at Texas in the early 2000s. Tony Vitello, slosagel, or possibly a member of that Tennessee staff, might be the next Texas baseball coach, might. That's why you just got to address it, because so many people are talking about it. I'll just say I've been told so many different scenarios. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 14:11

Who knows, david Pierce may be back. Yeah, there's been a lot of silence, and I think the silence on it is for a reason. Huh.

Speaker 2: 14:20

Gotcha. Well, we'll see after the series is over. Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 1: 14:26

So there's a restaurant in Omaha named Rocco's and every year they have a jello shot competition between the fan bases of the eight teams which go to Omaha. Well, look in the middle there. I want to pull this off. Texas, a&m and Tennessee have their fans and they're $5 a shot and they go to a donation. Now go to a donation 22,000 plus jello shots by the A&M and Tennessee Volunteer Fan Base since the beginning of the College World Series Golly man 22,000 shots and they're $5 a pop.

Speaker 1: 15:10

Yeah, so that's well over 100 grand. Oh Wow, yep, that's a lot of money and a lot of shots. So that's well over 100 grand. Oh wow, Yep.

Speaker 2: 15:18

That's a lot of money and a lot of shots.

Speaker 1: 15:21

That's a lot of liver damage right there, for sure, for sure. Speaking as we continue with baseball, we had a really, really special honorary game. We lost a legend in Willie Mays this week, 93 years old, great life. He's one of those historical American figures of the game.

Speaker 1: 15:46

Well, major League Baseball has done some phenomenal things lately, in recent years, having a an unorthodox location with historical ties to baseball. They went to the Field of Dreams where that movie was filmed, and had a major league baseball game there. And this week they went to Rickwood Field in Birmingham, alabama, which was home to the Black Barons of the Negro League and the White Barons during the segregation. Well, a friend of ours, he's going to be a member, he's going to become a Stories Inside the man Cave alum at some point. Bob Kendrick, who is the president of the Negro Leagues Museum in Kansas City this was what he had to say he was on in the booth about what his impressions were of turning perhaps one of the oldest baseball stadiums in America into a modern day baseball game to honor what took place there and Willie Mays.

Speaker 6: 16:51

It's been surreal. It has been everything that I could have imagined and then more. Just to walk into what I call one of baseball's greatest cathedrals, to walk into this area and see this transformation has been absolutely amazing, and I tip my cap to all my friends over at Major League Baseball, everyone who had a hand in making this happen.

Speaker 1: 17:15

It was amazing, stevie, it was chills. I've been to that field but it was locked I couldn't get in. I mean, we're talking about old wooden, this old bleacher system. Yeah, it reeked of history.

Speaker 2: 17:33

Yeah. Bad and good, good and bad, yeah, yeah, noed of history. Yeah, bad and good. Good and bad, yeah, yeah, no, just history. I mean. Yeah, you're right, good and bad, but that history also made us who we are today 100%. Yeah, so the history is just history, you know. But we got to remember the history so it doesn't repeat itself, you know.

Speaker 1: 17:52

Yep, and that's the way it is yeah, no question.

Speaker 2: 17:54

So I um, I think that that's uh really neat that major league baseball added the stats to the um, to from the negro league into the um, uh, major league baseball and also, you know, recognizing the, the negro league, uh being part of major league baseball. Back in they did an honorary draft drafting 30 players into Major League, 30 old players into the Major League, 30 Negro League players into the Major League. So my wife's uncle played in the Negro League and he was drafted to the Seattle Mariners and I remember him always telling me I would go down to San Antonio and go to church with Mariners and I remember him always telling me you know, I would go down to San Antonio and go to church with my wife well, my girlfriend at the time and we'll be in their hall eating after church and he will walk up to you and pass you one of his playing cards. He walked around with his own playing cards that's already autographed and he'll pass it to you.

Speaker 2: 19:00

He knew that I played football at Texas at the time, he told me. He said you know you wouldn't be playing at Texas if it wasn't for me. I said yes, sir, you're right. Then he pointed at the card that he threw in front of me. He said that's $5. Yeah. So he told me I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him, and then he bullied me out of my $5.

Speaker 2: 19:31

So I wasn't going to say no, it's the least I could give him.

Speaker 1: 19:35

It was NIL before it was NIL.

Speaker 2: 19:38

No question. Actually it was worse, I had to give him the money, that's right, hey, speaking of him, I mean his generation.

Speaker 1: 19:49

Yeah, one of the more. There were survivors, people not survivors, but those still living from the Negro Leagues were there. That's what tugged at my heart the most.

Speaker 2: 20:00

Yeah yeah, Uncle Sonny died when he was 90, and that was about 10 years ago when he passed. So we called him Uncle Sonny, but his name is John the Mule Mouse, Because he hit like a mule. That's what he told me. He hit like a mule and he loved every bit of being from being a part of the Negro League. That was him Every time we saw him. That was the uncle that played in the Negro League man. It was really, really cool to know him it was special.

Speaker 1: 20:40

That's beautiful. This is a journalist. Look at the old school press area, chill brother. I want you to hear this interview, one of the surviving members from the 1948 Birmingham Black Barons, the Reverend Bill Gleason, asking him. He was asked about because he played with Willie Mays there and this is what Mr Gleason had to say about that Willie.

Speaker 6: 21:12

Mays was your teammate in 1948. You were his mentor. He was 17 years old. What could you tell us about Willie when he was that?

Speaker 7: 21:22

age, william MAYS. He was a determined young man. He had the gifts, the talent and he was so sensitive to listening to those who were older than he was. It was a tremendous blessing and we turned out to be real close brothers, like brothers, and everything worked well with us.

Speaker 1: 21:46

Yeah, he still got it. Yeah, he does, yeah, he does, he still got it.

Speaker 2: 21:51

That's awesome, man. That's awesome. The other thing that people should realize is you know, we have come a long ways for race relations in this country.

Speaker 1: 22:03

Yes, we have.

Speaker 2: 22:05

We've come a long ways, but we still got a ways to go, honestly speaking, some ways to go. Honestly speaking, some ways to go. But we got to remember these guys are still alive. It wasn't that long ago to where the color of your skin determined where you had to be in society. You know these guys are still alive, right, and they're walking around, or rolling around, most of them at this point. Sorry, guys, it's a poor joke, poor taste joke, bad humor, bad humor, but they're, they're, they're around and what's in their hearts right now is the forgiveness, almost. You know this is a terrible thing that happened to them and they made their own space, but they are still happy, glad to get this recognition and still living life. You know what I mean. And doing their things, my wife. She brings in, see, this is the team.

Speaker 2: 23:20

Oh wow, chicago. Yes, that's right, the Chicago American Giants. See the C and A Giants. This is the team that her uncle played for, and so she went to the museum and bought this hat. There's the team right here on the side. I thought that it was really neat. I was really upset that she didn't buy me one.

Speaker 1: 23:47

I'm upset, I would have Venmo'd her.

Speaker 2: 23:52

I will make my way up to Kansas City one of these days to go to the Negro League Museum.

Speaker 1: 23:58

Let's go talk. We'll talk to Bob and we're going to get him on this. Let's just make a trip up there, go do a story on it.

Speaker 2: 24:04

That would be fun. That would be absolutely fun. I absolutely love it. I last summer I was in Washington DC and I went to the African American Museum there. All the exhibits and things like that was great. But I really enjoyed going to the sports section of that museum. I'm just a sports guy, that's all me. Then they had a display of Eddie Robinson. Yeah, and me being from North Louisiana. He was right down the street at Grambling and just a good man that did a lot for college football in the state of Louisiana but also in this country. Anyway, man, I can get on my soapbox about the pioneers that have paved the way for myself to be where I am today. I always contribute. Playing football got me to where I am and met all the people that I've met. But it would not have happened if it wasn't for John Amule Miles. It would not have happened if it wasn't for John the Mule Mouse, willie Mays, eddie Robinson, jackie Robinson.

Speaker 6: 25:22

Jackie.

Speaker 2: 25:22

Robinson. Yeah, jackie, I got a signed. Well, I got a jersey, a Jackie Robinson jersey I'm actually going to put up on this wall. I won it at an auction. It was actually golly, what was his name? It's slipping my mind, but anyway, I won it at an auction. It's a Jackie Robinson jersey, signed by President Obama, so, and I thought that it was really neat that it was a Jackie Robinson jersey, and so I'm going to put it up behind me. And I just love the history of blacks in sports and paving the way because they really did. I had it easy. I can wake up, get recruited by a big-time university all over the country without even having to worry about are they going to accept me. And who did that was these guys, you know.

Speaker 1: 26:16

It's hard to believe it was once that way, but yeah.

Speaker 1: 26:20

I will say this Do yourself a favor, go on the Twitter and look for Reggie Jackson's response, because he played there before he was this. You know, know, he was a great major leaguer, mr october yep, his experiences and he's very raw, uncut and point blank. Yeah, if it weren't for some of his white teammates and manager or coach that he may not have survived it. I don't want to spoil it, it's well worth it because people need to know. Bridge the gap, don't act like this didn't happen. And then, secondly, encourage the Major League Baseball to continue doing this every year, going to these different sites, man, and that's beautiful.

Speaker 1: 27:20

We got a new segment, stevie, new segment. Okay, let's do it. You ready? Yeah, let's go, let's go. We're going to pick a random photo and you, the viewer, listener, if you have any photo that you would love for us to caption for you, submit it, dm us or tweet it to us, or Facebook message us, you know either, or DM us on Instagram.

This was the first year it was at River Place and I hope that they keep it at River Place when I'm all well and I can play there again. Yeah, it's always a good time. It feels like a reunion, because everybody comes back and we get to hang out with people.

Speaker 1: 36:26

There were beverages at every hole, every hole I heard.

Speaker 2: 36:28

I heard it was at every hole. Every hole I heard, I heard it was at every hole. And usually when we were at Falcon Head playing years past, all these years we were at Falcon Head we would have food. It was like a hole with food, a hole with liquor, a hole with just beer, a hole with food. This was just liquor, I heard, I heard you had liquor at every hole. I'm like man, I'd have been out hole number three man.

It's going to be in the high 90s this week. So my pro tip in Austin is to hydrate. Y'all, please, hydrate. You know, I went out the other day and I just did not have enough water and I thought that I was just going to pass out. So, guys, get out there, enjoy Austin, but please, please, please hydrate.

It's going out to a free concert put on by this big, huge university that is in your town. You know it's a free concert with Pitbull. Go out there and hang out. That's something good and cool. You know, celebrating us closing one door and going into another yeah, university of Texas, and I think that's pretty neat that they are putting on this big free concert. They don't have food trucks and all this stuff out there. It's just like a festival. So go out and enjoy that.

He had themes, multiple course dinners with international themes to it with a harvest. Well, now he teamed up with I think so. We went a week ago. We went to SUP paddleboarding at Mozart's. Oh cool, they're on Lake Austin, inexpensive. And then next door there's a new restaurant it's been in a number of restaurants called Kent's. I heard of it. It's next door Mozart's Coffee and now they've got it used to be a mediation building right next to Mozart's.
