Call or Text the McLarty Daniel Hotline: 877-377-6963
you know I hope that was genuine from Tony Vell I really do I don’t know 100% if it was though that might have been twisting the knife a little bit something we touched on yesterday yes it’s a beef of mine that Tennessee and Tony Bell who just arrived in June of 2017 w a national championship before Dave Van Horn we’ve got plenty of time to discuss your beefs this morning via the mccardy Daniel hotline 877 37769 6 3 if you want to jump in here with us on this what’s your beef Wednesday now you won’t be beefing if you get a fence or repair from the fenceman Sean makes sure that his team does everything from top to bottom and everything is exactly how you want it this could be a large commercial job or a small residential repair maybe you have a business that needs more secur security or just more curb a field you want someone you can trust well Tommy’s had his fence done we’ve had stuff done call Sean at the fenceman 479 782 3936 one more time 479 782 3936 the fenceman he ain’t afraid of no work so beefs again are a big topic this morning Richard Davenport’s going to join us this hour Klay Henry coming up at 8 and we’re going to talk with Brandon rayar coming up at 7 little Oklahoma City Thunder and NBA draft which is tonight tonight the NBA draft gets going twoe out of bit first time the NBA’s done this for usually it’s a Thursday night thing but they’re doing it tonight and tomorrow curious how it turns out no Razer backs are going to be involved in terms of guys drafted from the Hogs but Cal will still be front center a lot of Kentucky guys being drafted particularly Reed Shepard and Rob Dillingham the two that will be at the top of this list and hopefully next year C’s wearing that r back red suit he’s in the NBA draft room as guys are getting called off the board not just after successful individual Seasons but hopefully after a season coming on because that’s what you really care about right as nice as it is to see guys make it to the next stage you care about your basketball program now maybe you’re a fan of the Boston Celtics or the Los Angeles Lakers or in Chuck’s case the New York Knicks but you care about your team the Arkansas Razer back that always needs to be front and center and hopefully it is under John calip Perry I want to start this morning not with the beef but one of my favorite things about Sports Talk Radio which is you the listeners and the callers um I have been immersed in this industry since I was a kid grew up in Little Rock listen to the radio station there then moved to fville uh surprisingly enough and I can honestly say this I don’t know how I never listened to Chuck on radio I never heard the best best radio host that ever grace the airwaves of this state and I’m not just saying that because I work with them I’m saying that because every everyone that I’ve had feedback from that has listening to multiple radio shows that said that now I thought he was great on his podcast I think he’s great on the one he’s doing now and when he doings the airwaves but uh that was the Pinnacle of Sports Talk Radio in the state with sports WP and on Sports WAP Clay and other uh regarded well-regarded media members would join Chuck and in addition to those well-regarded media members and guys and galss that you listen to or have read or have watched for years to come now you also have the collars now some have come and gone unfortunately like hammer and Hank that’s something we’re going to talk about with Clay later on this morning I would encourage you if you can’t join us at 8:00 uh stay tuned in the budlight morning than Rush podcast because that is going to be a fun conversation it’s going to be sad at the same time because I know that with Hank no longer with us uh hammer and Hank from Prairie Grove for those who don’t know uh and Clay will be able to detail him in more um but I love sports stock radio not just from a local standpoint for National um not just because of the host not just because of the bits but because of the callars and I’ve been fortunate enough to develop relationships with uh different callers that I grew up listening to and now that we get to speak to on a daily basis and the mccardy Daniel hotline again is always open if you’ve got a favorite caller favorite texture you’re welcome to to send those in now there’s the newer ones right uh you’ve got some of the newer ones that have taken I know a lot of you dislike Brian and Ozark uh I understand that but he’s uh he’s definitely added to not just this program but our Airwaves um some of the older guys you think about like people I’m gonna I’m going to start with the heels first so like tiger bit Michael and stutgart Ryan and Ozark Michael and and tiger bit a little older I would say older in the sense of like been calling a little more Brian’s more of the new uh of course the guys that get you fired up and ready like Eddie and Clarksville Eddie’s always fun to have that then Sterling gets you fired up from time to time um some of the others that I’ve just enjoyed kind of the the on the older side of things like PA and Tex Arcana jenel Ben um I’ve never had a chance to talk with for City Joe on this program I’ve heard him call in plenty of times to different sports stock radio programs but he is another legendary Sports St radio caller in this state Joe and aoka i’ I love big Mike and Waldren especially when he’s had a few I think he’s fantastic postgame Big Mike and walren is the best he always provides some great entertainment uh you got snake from lck Tim and lck Danny and Russellville uh Robert and Fort Smith has been a caller uh recently Miss Lisa in Northeast Arkansas who could forget Gary in Arad Delphia as well Gary hasn’t called in a while he he’s typically a football caller he’ll text us during the during our programming outside of football but that’s when he really feels like he should call in big see those are just a a handful that I jotted down yesterday of of people that I enjoy listening to and talking to did you say Brent Brent is not on there Brent should be added to this list love me some Bron stuard have Charlie and Camden is pretty good he calls in when he calls in he he knows his stuff uh yeah that’s a that’s a nice list you have there de Charlie Charlie needs to needs to do a better job of staying on topic with what Phil and you guys are talking about or Ruskin Zach or us Charlie likes to go all over the place sometimes which kind of throws these off I like tuna but that would that would help that so again if you’ve got some radio callers over the years you can call or text us on the mccardy Daniel hotline 877 377 6963 we got a text on the Mardy Danel hotline from goon asking if we think John caliper will wear a plane suit or will it wear a something suit with a razor back related I don’t know gooni it’s a good question um I’m goingon to guess he’s going to wear a typical blue suit maybe there’s a Razorback tie or a red pocket square uh in his outfit but I don’t know maybe and the Insignia maybe there’s like a one of those I don’t know that’s a good question to ask we’ll find out or tie whatever it’s called not a tie maybe it’s a tie clip or whatever but I get what you’re saying hopefully we’ll see something razor back on him it’s not the end of the world if he’s not again these are Kentucky guys maybe it’s a respecting I don’t know either way front center tonight tomorrow hopefully you’ll see all four of his former players come off the board Edwards Reeds Dillingham Shephard i’ guess Shephard

complaining because not enough people tickle hug or smile I’m a man I could eat ball bears and crap B it’s time for what’s your beef Wednesday all right another text on the M Dan hotline Quinton Clarksville said he likes Jimmy and Conway because it’s top of the morning fellas yes Jimmy I do enjoy a call from Jimmy Melbourne and Sheridan and again we’d love to increase I know all yall listen it’s like 99% of our listening audience doesn’t call in I would say that like 75% of us doesn’t text you’d be amazed the amount of people that listen our program 1.1 million the last two months just on hit that line it’s awesome it’s not a credit to me it’s a credit to virtually everyone else all right Billy is up first for his beef on the mccardy Daniel hotline Billy gotta come in hot man you’re the first one this morning uh good morning guys my beef right now is that former coach of Texas A&M I am just I rate because that fact that he comes off with that lovey-dovey speech about I’m not leaving Texas A&M and then the very next day leaves for Texas I’m tired of these people coming off saying they’re not going to leave and then the next day oh here we go we’re gonna leave for the next coaching job listen your spot on for those that didn’t hear Jim slash Nagle go off when asked the question a direct question a question asked by Texas ANM media member here was his response of you to ask me that question to be honest with you but I left my family to be the coach at Texas A&M I took the job at Texas A&M to never take another job again and that hasn’t changed in my mind and that’s unfair to talk about something like that that’d be like you asking Montgomery if he’s going to sign in the draft but I understand you got to ask the question but I gave up a big part of my life to come take this job and I’ve poured every ounce of my soul in this job and I’ve given this job every single ounce I can possibly give it it’s right that one more time Bill let’s let’s just pull out an excerpt for this I think it’s pretty selfish of you to ask me that question to be honest with you I think it’s selfish that it’s reported by Kendall Rogers that you had this deal done before postseason what you’re getting mad a reporter for asking a question that every fan every college baseball fan wants to know about and then you do that listen I don’t have an issue of you changing jobs I understand that but don’t come off like that and again I know kennel Rogers when it comes to baseball is pretty accurate in his report a lot of times Billy you are spot on this morning man that might be the best beef you started it off strong this morning with that beef Billy thank you yeah just it just bothers me with that I was just like what the heck guys unbelievable well Billy we appreciate the call I is this your first time calling in I’m I’m trying to remember if I’ve heard that voice before it’s been my second time I’m gonna try to get in more times with you guys now well

Tamp in a few weeks I will be listening to the mor rush cuz we’ll be up earlier for golf but if you haven’t downloaded that yet I would encourage you to do so another beef and this is from JT one of our favorite texts a little controversial it’s my beef is all the people that who say I and others can’t criticize dvh JT I think it’s okay if you want to um and I think some of the the criticisms have been worthy like there’s no there is no how do I put this with what Arkansas’s done at the plate the last few years that is perfectly acceptable to criticize I mean again I will say this I’m going to keep on saying this until it gets fixed they’ve been outside the top 10 in batting average the last four years in the SEC that is not going to net you a national championship Tennessee is prolific or was prolific at the plate this season now you can compete you can maybe win the west but if we’re talking about a national championship as an end goal you’ve got to hit it better JT you are very now some criticisms are dumb I feel like yours are pointed and and well thought out for the most part some people get on here and just want to say fire deviates that’s stupid come in with some actual facts then you can criticize don’t just say something and hope it sticks there’s a difference on that hey this morning we’re brought to you by our friends at Wheels r Chris lej they’ve got

iag lender.com to the mclardy Daniel hotline we go our friend Richard downport is waiting uh Richard a lot of uh lot of football basketball and baseball recruiting news it’s sounds like your uh schedule’s starting to heat up a little bit man yeah it’s it’s pretty uh pretty standard oh it’s again end of June uh a lot of stuff as we get closer we’re 60 it’s I think it’s 64 days out from Razer back football I want to talk about the two of the latest commits uh first we’ll start with the instate kid Antonio Jordan I think 6’4 over 200 lounds anytime you see a water receiver come out of Warren you think good things Richard he doesn’t have a like I don’t think it has a huddle um I was reading up on some things it might have been in your article that he hadn’t really done camps or anything kind of like trillin what’s Arkansas getting in a kid that’s been offered by a couple SEC schools in Florida State you know it it’s not unusual with uh kids from Warren their their recruiting is kind of under under the radar a little bit trailing wasn’t necessarily but uh uh Antonio uh was definitely like you said he didn’t have a highlight video for this past season uh he he hasn’t done any cans he hasn’t visited any any other school other than Arkansas uh and and you you you were talking about his size and and because uh I haven’t really you know asked uh coach Hy that much about him just because you know his his recruiting was just basically just Arkansas I i’ saw I saw him last year at a at a game uh Arkansas Game and and and I said on our board I said this guy is probably one of the biggest receivers I’ve ever seen uh and he is he is legit 66 230 now oh wow yeah yeah yeah and he’s not a tight end this guy is not a tight end he is uh he is a receiver and Arkansas is absolutely elated about him uh now if he had gone to Camp he had a highlight video uh uh you know you know he’s a he’s a three star right now I I I I just can’t imagine any kind of uh any kind of grade really be honest with you because he’s so he you talking about like like I said under the radar he’s about as under the radar as there there is and Arkansas is uh he’s a guy that could come in and play as a freshman I’ll just say I’ll just say that well hopefully he has an impact when he’s here at Arkansas that’s kind of cool it sounds like that he’s pretty honed in on Arkansas based on how you just detailed it uh so that’s the instate kid another out ofate kid I want to discuss is Trent sers defense they’ve got defensive lineman recruits Lately from Texas Georgia and now Alabama I think mobile is where Trent Hils from what can you tell us about sellers in the recent Edition Arkansas’s 2025 class Rd good looking kid about 65 uh about 240 PBS uh Great Frame uh and he he’s he’s pretty slim at 65240 uh and we obviously be able to add 30 40 pounds with no problem problem and and play The Edge uh had had Missouri and and several other offers not a huge offer list but he’s another guy that uh really hasn’t uh done that much recruiting wise his only visit was to Arkansas he had some others that he was considering but uh after visiting he he he was uh pretty much solded on Arkansas so he pulled the trigger but uh a really goodlook kid who uh uh you know like I said I I think his frame is uh easily another 30 40 PBS once he gets to uh to Arkansas talking with Richard Davenport hhog sports with us on the mclary Daniel hotline Richard a couple of basketball commits it sounds like the last 24 hours you got Melo Sanchez and then you’ve also got uh J I’m not even going to try and pronounce his last name uh the kid from Sun Valley in California uh not a lot of details like one’s a I guess a college kid other as a a high school kid what what can you tell us on on the two recent additions for for Cal and I guess there’s what two roster spots left scholarship wise yeah two two two left uh you know when when Brazil was announced uh you know I was told that that that that would be the last of the the high-profile guys and and and and with these two uh Obviously good they’re good additions but they’re not uh not the to the level of the first first nine that was added to the roster uh and with Sanchez he was he’s a uh he’s a guy that uh is about 6’4 about 185 PBS uh I shot round around 35% from from three for Hawaii Pacific University division two uh this past season played there two years he’s from the San Diego area but uh and as you said two two more additions uh could be added and don’t know when that that happened but wouldn’t be surprised if it happens fairly soon but uh uh you know he Co coach cow’s said all along that he wanted eight or nine guys and then he would fill it fill the roster with guys that uh you know other guys that would be good practice uh guys but at the same time who knows I’m sure these guys aren’t coming in and uh to uh to just practice I’m sure they they want to get a little play in time and be interested to see what happens Richard Davenport with us again on The mcari Dan hotline Richard your colleague Matt Jones for an excellent article in h hog Sports talking about the money cow has made players in the NBA the number of players I think it was 23 22 on NBA rosters from Kentucky and probably four more coming off the board tonight with Shephard Dillingham Reeves and and Edwards uh how do how are you seeing guys particularly in basketball balancing the the shortterm money versus longterm that they can make not just here in fville but just in recruiting in general well I I think you can see that with Brazil uh I mean obviously he wanted to go to the NBA and and I guess is grade wasn’t exactly what he wanted or needed to stay in the draft but uh I I tend to think the money that he was he was making in Arkansas was good enough to to keep him you know in college and with him you know he he could have he could have gone on and and played professionally somewhere but I would think the money uh that he he was receiving in fville was uh somewhat comparable or maybe better than what he would have gotten if he would have went to professional level outside the NBA so uh I I think uh when you’re talking about uh nil some kids uh have a tendency to maybe come back to to the to the uh college game uh a little bit uh more eagerly uh because nil versus uh maybe going off and playing uh internationally or something like that and then and later trying to get into the NBA but uh it’s it’s uh it’s you know obviously nil’s very uh attractive but also when when you’re uh High tier NBA draft pick I mean the money is obviously going to be there and the nil I don’t think can uh I don’t know kind of compare longterm obviously Richard big all Big O Oliver Miller announced to the Southwest Conference 2024 Hall of Fame surprised it’s taken this long Dallas Fort Worth kind of area kid uh what did you think about that addition and dude why’ it take this long this was the 91 confence play the he yeah yeah yeah yeah you’re right kind of kind of crazy I mean anybody that uh was able to see uh the Big O play at Arkansas obviously great uh uh great guy in the in the in the paint uh with his uh with his length defensively and he he could score pretty good too but uh that that is kind of odd that it’s taken this long but uh you know better late than never but I’m sure he’s he’s very honored especially you know gotten up in age you you you sometimes you’re you’re kind of Forgotten and then when you’re recognized like that it’s a big deal and uh and and I I would imagine he’s uh be beside himself really because a lot of times you you just you as you get older you you you feel like that people have forgotten you and obviously this is this is a nice uh nice you know honor last thing before we let you go Richard Jim slash Nagle heading from College Station to Austin with about Fort Worth he goes from Fort Worth to College Station now to Austin uh I mean this is about as brutal as it gets if I was an a&n player I’d never talk to this guy again what you think about the the move from the new Texas longw horns head baseball coach yeah that’s that’s uh he’s the poster child of uh this is how you don’t handle it uh uh that was uh that’s kind of brutal uh I hate to be good good guys you’re coming off one of the best seasons in uh you know in in history of uh Aggie Bas baseball and and I’m sure you you’re feeling pretty good about your future then boom your your coach leaves that’s uh that’s pretty brutal but the way he handled it I think um I tend to think that he he’s probably kicking himself right now for the way he he did that uh but uh you know it’s I don’t know it it it just it’s just another I don’t know negative towards College athletics a little bit uh just the way he did it it’s awful and I don’t blame players or fans feeling angry towards them I now to be honest I’m drinking the Aggie tears this morning but it’s not like that he’s going to a place that I like that much better either in Austin so we’ll see what kind of success he had a lot of success in Fort Worth in three years he went to two College World Series made it all the way to game three of the finals in College Station we’ll see what kind of success he has in Austin Texas Sho by the way Dave kind of alluded to is coming here this next season as will Tony Bell and the Tennessee Volunteers Rd good stuff man we appreciate the inside we’ll chat next week see you T all right good stuff from Richard dport as always hooh Hawk Sports Arkansas Democrat cazette is where you can find his work remember Dave said at mermaids at a swatter Club a couple months back and he kind of was like I think two I’m paraphrasing is like I think two teams in Orange are going to come to bomb Walker next year it’s not 100% set in stone but I don’t think he’d say that with some sort of idea that it was probably going to happen and not 100% hopefully it comes to fruition hey we are brought to you this morning by our friends at pradco fishing speaking of orange I know Bruce Danon is still celebrating the national championship for his Tennessee Volunteers I know he’s celebrating with some fishing he’s going to be at Broken Bow next week uh he’s got all the not just him but his entire team the umbrella flash mob Jr the smithwick’s original suspending rattlin Rogue the Bobby Garland baby shed and the Yum Dinger all are made right here in Arkansas at pradco but you can get them all over the place Walmart Bass Pro Shops Academy learn at.com and tackle stores all over the place the best lurs for fishing around made by pradco fishing all right still getting some beeps here this morning I want to take a break just for a sec on beeps again if you want to keep send in in the on the Mardi Daniel hotline you can do so but I want to talk positives just here as we get closer to Arkansas football I think the again the number is 64 days out that’s right big c isn’t it 64 days out believe that’s I believe so yes so double check me if I’m wrong on that there’s been a lot of negativity towards this football program and I get it he went 4 and8 last season did not end there seemed to be turmoil in the locker room there were issues at home I mean you got swatted at home in Donald W reyolds race back Stadium by some SEC teams he you lost to BYU which we found out is no joke it was fun going to proo two years ago not so fun playing these guys last season here’s the deal though there are some positive things this desite some people may tell you despite some guys in the afternoon telling you there are some positive the I’m not going to tell you they’re going to win eight or nine games I’m not going to do that because I’d be lying if I actually think that I just want him to get six I think if Sam Pitman is able to get the B eligibility he’ll be next year I don’t really want to go through another coaching change it’s good for our numbers it’s it’s good in in terms of feedback and stuff but that’s not good for the Arkansas football program if they go like three and N or four a day because I would think they’re probably be a change after that I don’t know that to be 100% fact but I I I think that might happen I want Sam Pitman to make a bowl game heck I want them to do more than that I want them to have a lot more success you’re going to be in about three weeks from now when Tommy and myself are down at SEC media days in Dallas Texas you’re going to be picked probably 14th or 15th in the league that’s fine Arkansas football has thrived over the years not when they’ve been picked High not when they’ve actually been expected to do something but when they been picked low and down and you’re downtrodden you’re think oh they’re not going to do anything they don’t have enough Talent on the roster blah blah blah blah blah blah as we’ve learned especially with nil sometimes it’s not always 1,000% about Talent you can have talent and the chemistry can go R it’s why the Old Miss situation this year is so interesting that’s one of the most talented rosters in college football can Lane kein keep everyone intact and on the same page of one goal it’s winning the SEC which Old Miss has never done and winning and competing for a national championship I think it’s the most intriguing question in the SEC right now I know people are talking about Oklahoma and Texas in ear League how will they do that’s fine that’s easy pickings though Old Miss is the most interesting story in this conference this year don’t kid yourself 100% now for you as an Arkansas football fan basketball and baseball you want to know about your team and I get that here’s some positives about the Arkansas football program again I I I just want to flush last season hopefully it’s not guys you can have a bad year the year before and have a a better season don’t don’t let people tell you that oh it’s just Doom and Gloom from here on out I don’t want to be in a situation where all the hard work that Frank Royals Ken Hatfield L Holtz Houston nut even Bobby to a certain degree all the stuff that they put in where they showed you that you can win double digit games here and in Houston and Bobby’s case that you can win those type of games in the SEC maybe not win an SEC Championship that hadn’t happened yet’ be awesome if it did but all that would be for nothing if we’re just going to turn into a basketball school I hope we don’t I hope there’s still an effort based on how much they’re asking for tickets donations parking everything else that this University this athletics department still believes and you should believe that you can compete on the football field I’m not saying you have to win a National Championship my expectations for football are far different than basketball and baseball and I think most of yours are as well listen I just want this season to be one that we’re not trying to forget last season we were trying to forget it it wasn’t quite Chad morrises at back toback two and 10 and I know Chad didn’t finish out his final season but the home games were pretty Chad Morris s don’t kid yourselves those were awful and you’ve got some Marquee home games this year where you should expect to compete not saying you have to win them all not even saying you have to win three out of the four SEC ones but you should at least compete even though it’s High Caliber competition because you competed on the road that was what’s so weird of last year you went on the road and you lost a basically the game was ended with a KJ Jefferson interception you lost by three to Alabama three to LSU and who was the other Road game that I went to last year B you remember the other one Florida you beat Florida yeah how does that make sense based on what you did at home this last season it doesn’t you one of the worst offenses in power five and yet you found yourself in some of those game they look good against LSU they honestly did Luc has played out of his mind hopefully I mean he got him back that’s a huge Edition huge Edition I don’t know if he can compete for the macki award the best tied in college football this year sure hope he can he’s got the tools Bobby patrino seems to put tight ends in the right spot ask DJ that’s Chris grg I think you have a chance to do something to do something there there’s no B alab Alabama Georgia on the schedule this year now I’m not going to lie to you and tell you it’s an easy schedule because it’s not but you’ll at your away games with like Mississippi State and A&M on in College Station first year head coach and Mike Elco it’s not horrible it’s not 2020 when they’re like oh by the way you got to play Georgia and you got to go on the road to Florida who Florida I think was in the SEC Championship that year against Alabama if I remember that right it’s not that so you avoid them you have to play Alabama every year since joined the league had to play Georgia back toback years you’re at least not going to have to play him this year or next year probably will have to down the road at some point I mean is it easy going to still water week too no is it easy not playing a home game I say it I say a home game till week three cuz War Mor is not a home game no but the road games are not awful then the guys coming in LSU’s got no Jade Daniels Old Mist unlike playing the cold l k unlike playing in the cold hopefully that game’s at night I think that’s a flex game if I remember that right got to go back and double check Texas last home game of the season finish strong November the 16th finish strong boys I know 11 or 12 it’s I think it’s it’s 11 or 12 might just be 11 figure that out that game meets the world to fans means the world to you listing right now and it should based on the significance of that rivalry over the years Tennessee true I say true freshman Young quarterback just going to Oklahoma two weeks before they got a bye we before they play it’s not great um but there are some positives when you look at the schedule in this football team we’ll see again I just I there’s been so much negativity stemming from this fan base lately and I I don’t like I don’t want to sit here and tell you it’s not all warranted because some of it is it really is but I also think there are some things you can look at and say you know what this team might make a bowl game this year you hope they do because again the turmoil that could follow another change in the football program is not something you want have to go through you would much rather them outdo expectations win six or seven regular season games and be on the right tchs that helps recruiting these guys that are either on the fence or committed elsewhere right now in state they got to see some progress that’s what they got to see I mean they’re not going to sign till December the early signing period maybe later on if you miss him there you got to flip some of these instate kids there’s no reason that four your top five inate kids are committed elsewhere not go or not committed to Arkansas I think Grayson William Grayson Wilson Conway Cory rack on arrivals is the only top five kid in your state that’s currently committed Zach was talking about it a week or so ago 163 star better kids in this state you ought to get 14 of them 14 or 15 they ought to be bleeding razor back red and I realize it’s more difficult nowadays to convince kids to stay in state when they’re getting offered money offered elsewhere but do you think their parents wanted to go elsewhere no now that’s not the case for every kid but you’ve got to show not just the kids the parents like this thing tending in the right direction best piece of advice you’ve ever gotten work for good management I don’t tell Tommy I said this he’s on vacation right now he’s a damn good manager and we are both fortunate me and Big C to be in a situation where it’s good for both of us we walked into good situations we didn’t walk into disarray or turmoil or anything like that we walked into good situations what do you think it be like for a young freshman out of high school walking into a back-to-back 4 and8 win season questions about their head football coach or a team that just won three or four more games than they did last year what situation do you think they want to walk into maybe I’m looking at the glass half full this morning maybe I should looking at I’m just I’m sick and tired about negatives with this football program even though they’re warranted in some cases wanted to bring some positives to light it is a whater beef wday let’s get back negative as we start hour number two keep sending those in on the mccardy Daniel hotline speaking of positives though

daily thunder thunder Insider for the franchise in Oklahoma City and in Tulsa as well uh accessible season for OKC I want to start with two Arkansas guys jayen Williams Isaiah Joe we had Isaiah in here about two weeks ago I’ll start with him uh what can you tell us about his impact and and coach decided that he was good enough and better than Josh giddy at the time to to start for this team in the playoffs Brandon yeah I mean Isaiah Joe was huge for this Thunder team this year and and last year like the fact that the Thunder got him for free Thunder fans absolutely think it’s crazy that the 76ers cut him Thunder with Isaiah Joe on the floor the spacing that he provides the shooting that he provides just unreal for this team Shay gild just Alexander Jada when they had that space that Isaiah Joe provides and it gives them room to drive to the Lane which the Thunder L to do the Thunder Lov to drive and kick drive and kick and he provides a space and his three-point thread is just he he’s the best three-point shooter on this team and so I I was calling for him to start I think it was a great move for him to start over Josh GID those last couple games in the playoffs just a huge impact on this team Brandon forgive my ignorance I I mean I looked this up I just want to make sure has there an announcements from Sam prey and the organization if they picked up his team option or not or is that still up in the air still up in the air still up in the air um you know I obviously think it’s going to happen uh like I said Isaiah Joe right now is on a bargain contract for the Thunder which as they make more moves we just saw them go out and trade for Alex Caruso they have $32 million of cap space and we all anticipate that they’re going to use that cap space to improve the roster so having a a guy like Isaiah Joe on that contract uh and the impact he brings is is really really valuable for the team so we were just talking uh last segment about Texas A&M not basketball but baseball with Jim slash leaving to go to Austin uh that’s actually Alex ruso is an Aggie I actually like because he’s now on my favorite team the Oklahoma City Thunders kid’s been around the the block a little bit in the NBA it’s a good Defender good three-point shooter what’s he add to that roster Brandon oh I mean the Thunders defense was already a top five defense you have like Lou Dort Chad hongren Jaylen Williams the other jayen Williams uh Shay gild Alexander but Alex Caruso was second Team all defense this year he was First Team all defense last year and he shot over 40% from three on nearly five attempts per game so not only does he upgrade and already good defense like strengthening your strength and what he brings to the defense but I think he’s going to make him better offensively as well another floor spacer for sh G Alexander and JB uh and a guy that is a playmaker he’s just so diverse I think it really upgrades the R I think it’s a a difference making needle moving move yeah and again I I wonder about what else they’re going to do again we’re talking with Brandon rabar Oklahoma City beat rider for the daily Thunder and the Thunder Insider for the franchise across Oklahoma City you mentioned Jay dub talk about Jay will I know that was confusing for Thunder fans at first you got two Jaylen Williams uh our guy uh just a few years in uh to the NBA uh we saw him improved taking charges knocking down threes how did he Elevate his game this year Brandon yeah it’s the the three-point shot making has been so impressive when the Thunder drafted Jay will you know it was for I think first of all was for team Vibes he’s he is a fan favorite he is a locker room favorite like what he brings like just chemistry-wise and just you know in the locker room I think is invaluable uh everybody loves Jay will um but yeah his obviously the charge taking it was wild that he led the NCAA and charge is taken and then he goes to the NBA in his rookie season he does the same thing leads to the NBA and charge is taken uh so and and he improved as a Defender too you know they really needed somebody behind Chet hungr when Chet hungr set and he really stepped up and and I think he improved his defense uh he got more block shots this past season so just really such a diverse game from Jay will I wonder with the the cap space you mentioned um I’m a little worried because I am partial to to Isaiah and Jaylen and part of Trades and part of money is you trade your young pieces young valuable pieces off for veteran players and guys that take more money with Sam pry who’s one of the best GMS in the sport uh what kind of moves or Acquisitions could you see him making especially around the draft uh when it comes to some younger players on that roster oh I think that Jay will and Isaiah Joe are safe first of all like I said Isaiah Joe I think he’s invalu the offense uh but he’s he also for being you know the smallest guy on the team what he does defensively he’s been really impressive too he plays really physically but Jay will I just it’s a funny thing to say but truly his locker room presence and the chemistry he brings I think is invaluable to this team so I think both guys are safe I do think that they go out and use that cap space and they use you know they have so many assets more first round picks than any team in the NBA like a guy like Isaiah hartstein has been on the radar you know another another big some size uh I think that they’ll absolutely add some size maybe it’s starting for now that Josh giddy is gone and another bench big yeah and by the way Jaylen had that same personality at Arkansas and for those that knew him at Fort Smith Norths side had the best smile on college basketball a few short years ago and it’s it is still funny to me that him and ched her teammates considering that Jaylen and Arkansas beat them in San Francisco a couple years ago hopefully hopefully never lets him live that down uh 12th 12th pick tonight Brandon uh it’s when OKC’s uh coming off the board uh any like I I I when I look at like AR how what what it means to Arkansas fans like there’s no Arkansas guys that are going to be picked the next two days but some cow guys are going to be picked Reed Shepard Dillingham you got Edwards Reeds any idea who maybe Oklahoma City picks later on tonight yeah yeah I mean there’s there’s a few guys I will say this kle we is from Little Rock Arkansas and I think he’s got to be on the Thunders radar as well you know when you’re talking about backup bigs um I obviously really like Cody Williams he’s the other Jaylen Williams little brother jdub’s little brother and he would actually be a perfect fit on the team um donon Holmes from Dayton like when you’re looking at other backup bigs I also like tjon Salon he’s an international guy but a big Wing that the Thunder could use Ron Holland uh and then bub caring those those are kind of the names uh that have been connected to the Thunder maybe Nia toic he would take basically a red shirt year because uh he tour his ACL uh but now that Thunder don’t have Josh giddy maybe a future backup point guard for Thunder as well but my my top targets have been Cody Williams donon Holmes uh and kle wear have been some of the names yeah another Arkansas connection Ron Holland Ron thought was thought to be committed and and going to sign with ar Arkansas alect to go with the G League at night unfortunately for him his draft stock has dropped a little bit he was pretty consensus like top five top three and now it sounds like I mean Oklahoma City gets him at 12 he’s got some shooting stuff he’s got to work on but would not mind that pick at all whatsoever another versatile Wing Tope player uh for them Brandon before we let you go again Randon Brandon rabar with this Oklahoma City Thunder beat rider for the daily Thunder and also covers them for the franchise radio in oklah City and Tulsa uh have you heard K Wallace or or Shay Gil Alexander talk about Cal like it is insane the last like two months or so how our fans and picked up they want to know everything about this guy they used to hate him with the the five thousand sons and now he’s their coach and they want to learn every little detail about him I mean heck they people like know where he lives now like he just bought a house and they they’re like excited that he’s in a specific area uh have either of those guys talked about the impact that Cal had on them in Kentucky yeah they both have talked about it uh you know KAS was a rookie this past season and he talked about Cal uh in some of his pre uh draft interviews and he only had glowing things to say about Cal but then sh go Alexander was specifically asked about Cal you know after the move after he goes to Arkansas he was asked you know his thoughts on Cal and and he just talked about what a huge impact he had on him and how he’ll always have nothing but love for Cal because he made such a huge impact on chay’s Career uh he had nothing but glowing things to say about Cal well hopefully uh those same guys will be saying for future years that are drafted here in fville or from fville Arkansas with the Arkansas basketball program Brandon we’ll leave it there again Brandon rabar kind enough to to join us this morning Brandon excited to see what Oklahoma City does tonight hoping that you’re right that they pick up Isaiah’s team option keep jayb Williams on the team for the next few years and hopefully that team is uh going to the NBA finals so you can cover postseason as as long as you can man absolutely thanks for having me on I I think tonight’s G be an exciting night next few days are going to be exciting for Thunder fans because I think uh they’ve got some more moves left in them I’m excited to see that play out big move in the NBA recently muel Bridges so is going to the other New York team the New York Knicks which is pretty wild that you’re going to have four Villanova Wildcat players on the same team you already had three Dante Devan chinzo Jaylen Brunson Josh Hart and now their former teammate Mel’s coming over as well I know Chuck’s probably happy about that he should be that’s going to be a good roster probably the second best maybe in the East only trailing the Boston Celtics that would be a fun Eastern Conference Finals this next year but we got a long way between now and then all right next week let’s Le than a week from today we are going to be at the social birdie in Branson you say what’s the social birdie to this is next Tuesday for

dodge.com you hon I’d like to ask for a recess I’d like it answer the question judge the court will wait for an answer all right the morning Rush daily question presented by Red River Dodge in Heber Springs how many wins will it take to win the SEC this year in football and is it a no-brainer that Georgia will take their Crown that’s a good question um so you play eight conference games Georgia has a decent like like they go to Alabama the last weekend of September I’m going to pull up their schedule real quick Georgia I the that that’s the team to beat I I’ll go and get out in front say Georgia will win the SEC you think they do better than 10 and two this is I know Bama’s a little down you would expect but you bring in Oklahoma and Texas and then Tennessee’s coming up as well I want to say Georgia Place I’m double-checking on this they open up with Clemson in Atlanta that’s going to be a uh interesting game davo dav’s passed he’s done like they didn’t get a single player out of the portal this past season that’s over the Clemson luster is no longer a thing it’s gone they might keep it within two touchdowns but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a 21 plus game I mean Alabama on the road you get Auburn at home this year I’ll say Georgia loses to Texas on November I think they and then that Old Miss game I just don’t think Old Miss has what it takes to beat Georgia so I’m going to say Georgia goes 11-1 their only game they lose they have two tough ones on the road against Texas and on the road against Old Miss they get Tennessee at home so I’ll say they’ll go 11 And1 and seven- one in conference and then if you add the SEC Championship they’ll be 13 and or 12- One excuse me so I it it’ll take you got to remember this is stacked up right but I you’re G to have like a I think you’re going to have a two-weight tie because I can see Old Miss or Texas Al also being 7 to1 I don’t I don’t know if I necessarily see Alabama or LSU or Missouri even though Missouri schedule is just cake does Georgia play LSU this year Georgia play LSU no they did not okay well so I’m gonna say Georgia your question was what is it going to take to win the SEC I think it’s going to be it’s GNA be seven wins you’ll probably have two or three teams maybe tied they’re at seven wins and yes I still think Georgia wins the conference we’re against 64 days out till rer back football 66 days out till SEC football really gets going that Saturday um but unless like crazy things happen in Athens that’s the team to beat Nick sabin’s gone Kirby didn’t have to worry about that anymore that is the team to beat not just in the Southeastern Conference but in college football right now especially with Jim Harbaugh departing as well I think a more interesting question would have been who do you think wins the SEC West but there are no divisions anymore so uh you can’t do that but yeah Georgia on paper is definitely the team to beat I I’m kind of with Utah I think Texas comes in are they are we giving them too much credit for going to the playoff last year are they coming in as the second best team in the conference right now they lost so the thing about the lwn horns is yes ERS is back might be the best quarterback in the league but they lost a good Chuck of D lineman they lost Xavier worthy they lost a lot of Talent on last year’s roster but they’ve recruited at a high level much to the of all of us listening and talking right now it’s going to be an issue now the good thing is they’re going to overlook you on November the 16th it just depends on what kind of Arkansas team is is in that point is that a team that’s vying for a bowl game is it a team that’s in a bowl game I don’t know uh but you’re coming off a buy it’s going to be the last sec home game of the season I think the last if I remember right the no last yeah because you got Louisiana Tech the 23rd uh so that will be a game that I Hope Arkansas gets up for like they usually do would be surprised if they did but I don’t think I might be giving Texas too much credit um definitely not giving Oklahoma any credit even though they went 10 and three they lost Dylan Gabriel they’re trying this new thing with Jackson Arnold maybe venables is better than I thought maybe or I think I just don’t think it’s going to go well in in year and I say well like I think they’re going to go like seven and five hopefully six and six because that would just really be great for all the Arkansas fans have been telling Oklahoma about the SEC for years um but maybe I’m maybe I’m overestimating Texas and maybe I’m underestimating the Oklahoma centers yeah I’m with you Tai I I agree on that all right that is our morning Rush daily question presented by Red River Dodge and he Hebrew Springs Arkansas’s number one Ram dealer you can log on at Red rerd dodge.com what is wrong with you I want to complain I’m complaining I want to complain about complaining I want to complain it really pisses me off today to Simply listen to people whine and complain but I’m angry I’m I’m spitting angry I’m like a tornado of anger swirling about my heart rate is dangerously high right now I’m complaining because not enough people tickle hug or smile I’m man I could eat balls and crap baby it’s time for what’s your beep Wednesday so I’m trying to figure out this whole house thing right I get a call from the the title company earlier this week and asking my name if I’m associated with this LLC if my full name’s um had to get iron that out no and in the midst of figuring this out they need hey we need your social security card like okay that’s fine look around tear my house apart can’t find it anywhere said o no luckily my parents had it among some other valuable items that I need for future stuff in my folder apparently back in Little Rock so I’m safe there so that was a be for a time but luckily it’s it subsided to this point the beef of the day for everyone listening it has to be Jim schle and one of the craziest coaching moves I think I have ever seen and I know baseball is not as paid attention to as the other sports as football and basketball but to get up on that Podium and give this Soliloquy basically about hey I’m I’m again I don’t even know why I’m let’s just hear let’s listen to it I think it’s pretty selfish of you to ask me that question to be honest with you but I left my family to be the coach at Texas A&M I took the job at Texas A&M to never take another job again and that hasn’t changed in my mind that’s unfair to talk about something like that that’d be like you asking Montgomery if he’s going to sign in the draft but I understand you got to ask the question but I gave up a big part of my life to come take this job and I’ve poured every ounce of my soul in this job and I’ve given this job every single ounce I can possibly give it it’s right that all right one more time I think it’s pretty selfish of you to ask me that question to be honest with you I cannot believe I’m defending Texas A&M players or that organization that college whatever you want to lump it together but it’s selfish of him to have one foot out the door and what’s crazy to me is they made it all the way there despite again kennel Rogers report that this thing was done I think around the Georgia series or before the Georgia series what’s weird to me is he acted all high and mighty like there was no chance he was leaving and then obviously that wasn’t true I mean I bad look for coaches across the sport and in in coaching in general that is not a necessarily um indication of how all coaches are but it’s a terrible look he will have that follow him the rest of his life and the rest of his coaching career and he’s been doing it a long time he was in in TCU basically from 04 to 2001 lot of success then he goes to college station two or three years College World Series almost wins the whole thing and then says Fort Worth College St College Station Austin now if I had to pick it the three I’m I’m living in Fort Worth it’s not close Austin sucks it’s the most and and I say that has like nothing to do with the the Texas nothing to do with the University of Texas like I’ve been to Austin we went back in 2018 it was our first like postgrad group as buddies there was 23 of us in Airbnb 23 I every single girlfriend now wife now fiance that went through that it was like all right they’re Troopers y’all need to marry this chick y’all need to marry this girl luckily a lot of my friends did others screwed it up that’s neither here nor there the point is Austin I almost said a word I should have said Austin sucks it’s awful and it’s not that like there’s like they got the bats they got the river and that’s it it the 10th Street Sixth Street I think it’s Sixth Street is College Station any better I haven’t been to College Station I’m excited to go to cyfield which by the way they got ranked the number one team excuse me the number one won best home atmosphere according to EA Sports for the new ea uh college football game which doesn’t make any sense to me there’s like three or four SEC atmospheres better than Kyle Field um but yeah it’s Jim slos Nagle times a thousand you lie to everyone’s face you take your entire coaching staff virtually with you if I was a Texas A&M player and I’m not but if I was I would never talk to him again if I was a player that had years left I wouldn’t I wouldn’t if if he was T me about transfering and calling me or talking to me I wouldn’t even entertain his call from an Arkansas fan perspective if you didn’t have if you didn’t need any more reason to hate him after that I mean he’s coaching Texas now so he I mean he’s probably the number one on the most hated coach I don’t think vitello’s up there anymore that’s just my opinion no Vell is still number one oh really for Arkansas fans vitell is the number one most hated coach Bano passed you there’s no more pauler it could be it’s Vell it’s I don’t even think it’s close um and by the way according to Dave and mermaids couple months ago sounds like Texas and Tennessee so you get the benefit of your most hated rival in the Texas lawn hords across the board coming in bomb Walker and apparently Tennessee coming in to bomb Walker Stadium which honestly I it it’s funny how things change over time like I will always hate Texas Stan football Kentucky basketball and Old Miss baseball but things have kind of shifted a little bit right I I still hate Old Miss football and LSU football Texas but think about basketball the team I want to meet now that Cs and now the Cal Dynamic with Mark Pope and his former team’s going to be great it’s going to be great for the sport great for these two colleges but Bama is about as high as it gets in basketball and now in baseball Mar Tennessee came in here two years ago I think you swept him if I remember that right I mean that’s a that might be the team you want to beat more than any other SCC program out there it’s crazy how things shift not just with success at other schools but coaches in particular and it definitely has and like you said Big C Jim slos Nagle now taking over I wonder who in Austin Texas who Texas a& M will get now that’s a big question might see more cycling in the coach of the Texas just fired who knows yeah I I don’t know who Texas A&M is going to Target if they’re going to be more moves within the Southeastern Conference but Tommy always says domino effect and he’s 100% accurate domino effect what changes within the landscape of this conference based on Texas A&M’s most hated rival getting their their coach plucking him away apparently again he felt like now was one thing like remember when Chris beard went from Texas Tech to Texas I think he’s a Texas Alum if I remember that correctly you kind of understood that now now Tech hates Texas just like A&M hates Texas again Texas is the easiest school to hate in all of college sports in all of Academia in in life itself it is the easiest school to hate because of the arrogance that goes along with attending liking or playing for that University it it’s unbelievable right there are like Daryl K Royal the late Daryl K Royal I think he’s passed assuming he has because Frank’s passed I’m assuming timeline matches up right that their former I can’t remember their clay can help me on this their former outstanding college baseball coach basketball aie you you you gito yeah Augie gito I think you’re right on that and then like basketball not the same success as the two other sports if if in there Heyday if you want to be braggadocious and cocky and all the words you want to use around that as a Texas Fan you can do that just like Alabama fans can in football just like Kentucky fans can do a certain extent in basketball like Yukon fans can’t in basketball they can right now back to back baby I get that but Texas hasn’t done squat they had won a national championship nearly two decades their baseball program it’s been a minute so you’re resting kind of like Dallas Cowboy fans on all the Laurels I guess it’s just the Texas thing even though a lot of Arkansas fans love the Dallas cow booys because it’s headed up by an Arkansas Razer back and it would be honestly like I’m not a Cowboys fan but it would be great for our show if they all of a sudden just ran through the NFC this year and went to the Super Bowl faced off against Patrick on the other side man is there a better Super Bowl for R Airwaves than Kansas City against Dallas there ain’t a a dang match matchup out there that would be better in the professional sports and those two going at it but I don’t think Dallas is going to end up hold up there into the bargain KC m don’t think Dallas will all right it’s a watcher beef Wednesday get them in here all throughout the morning if you want to jump in with us you don’t know if you don’t want to beef if you don’t want to beef with your vehicle in the car buying process then stop by and see our friend Larry wrath at wrath autor resources in Fort Smith and his son David at wrath misubishi in Springdale now for those that don’t know David is a Giant and I mean giant Back to the Future man so when you stop by and see him and you’re looking out at one of those awesome mitubishi Outlanders ask him his favorite Back to the Future movie ask him where he got all the Back to the Future gear in his office he’s got the almanac he’s got the hoverboard he’s got one other thing there in his office I can’t remember exactly what it is but I remember when we spent like 20 minutes talking about Back to the Future thing about David is you could ask him like anything pop culture it’s like that he knows it like that I’m kind of I’m like that to a certain extent with sports related stuff like Sports Jeopardy I’m decent at but I’m not great at Pop Culture good thing is David is they’re trying to get me to to be that way on halftime but got to snap too you got to have that snap too David’s got it I don’t have it for pop culture but again two great locations and through the end of the month state sales tax paid when you trade at both wrath misubishi in Springdale and wrath Auto resources in Fort Smith and make sure when you stop by and see Larry you tell him where you’re rolling to next one last beef here this morning the D1 council I guess passed this I’m going to Treetop it for you as best I can this unlimited coaches in college football basically these quality control assistants these analysts can now do onfield instruction and stuff like that Gap just keeps widening y’all it keeps on widening and we’re fortunate that the late great Frank BRS decided that Arkansas would be better off in the Southeastern Conference than the Southwest Conference which was disbanded Big 12 and he said on these very Airwaves before Arkansas was not going to get an invite to the Big 12 he made the right call there’s always debate about oh he had had much success in football since 1992 blah blah blah blah blah blah there’s some there’s some like factual truths in that but this state this college wouldn’t be where it is financially and this athletics department uh would not be having the same type of success in the other sports without the moving to the Southeastern Conference and I want to win just like you trust me I do I want to go to Atlanta Georgia like they did in 2006 2002 I want to go like that lot that has to happen I guess the 95 too I don’t know I think that game was played in Atlanta yall might have to help me on that but again made the right call hopefully it pans out for him somehow in my lifetime that they make it to the SEC Championship while Atlanta is not on the docket anytime soon for me one of the places I am excited to go to relatively soon is Gaston’s White River Resort you maybe heard us talking about it for years maybe heard Tommy talking I should say for years you’ve never picked up that phone and called Clint and called Jacob 87431 5202 it’s funny of all the things we discuss on this sports do radio program and this is again way before me way before I got here on these Airwaves it’s Gaston like the number one thing that people want to talk about it’s like hey what’s a like worker with Clay what’s like working with Chuck what’s like working no it’s it’s Gaston’s that’s like the first thing people say to me Tommy’s done a great job as has Clint taking over his family business at Gaston’s white Riv resort gon.com to see all their pictures and all the stuff they offer Gaston’s White River Resort a first class time every time Lauren needs to take in get a tuneup it sounds like then well hey I’m all for that I don’t know what that includes but I’m for you’re listening to the morning Rush this June

it’s more than 70,000 fans calling wo Pig suoi yes sir guys I’ve got just one thing I want to say to you touchdown [Laughter] Arkansas dream season this is your hog update on the morning Rush brought to you by Mr Sparky need a licensed electrician to service your home for one of their local Pros call 8888 Sparky you know Arkansas needs to get some guys to commit that have easier names to pronounce now Arkansas get just got a commitment the latest one in baseball from Aiden YZ that’s not as as difficult but the the Landon Bal she’s kid it’s a little more difficult to figure out you got an Oklahoma State pitcher and excuse me let me rephrase an Oregon State pitcher and an Ohio State pitcher as well uh for Dave Van Horn you’ve got a couple Marquee guys I think if I remember that right they’ve now it’s 11 12 total that they’ve gotten a baseball player commits they’ve got several and then some High Caliber D1 guys like the Ohio State and Oregon State pitcher so he is working they also got a Rocco Pepe to commit now again you got to visualize this as as best you can his nickname is juice and he had a walk-off in his old school come on baby come on baby come on come on come on juice be awesome to see juice in a walkoff in Omaha Nebraska in game three of the College World Series final next year Pepe so I when I think of Pepe I always I am P Le that’s where my mind always goes but a lot of uh a lot of players recently that have committed to this Arkansas baseball I remember right he’s the kid that was at Long Beach State and then Fresno State I somehow did not jot that down when when talking about them because he might want to double check me on that I know I’m riding on y menz being Oregon State kid bottle shees being the O he was at Long Beach State okay the what are they called the dirt bags is it the dirt bags is that their team okay uh speaking of baseball how about Benny baseball hitting himself another bomb earli unfortunately uh the uh the white socks once again lost I I I I don’t know if I’m in that situation I they’re just just in a in a bad thing but at least many baseball’s doing things like thiss on that first one Dodgers win four to3 over the white socks but he hits an early one uh nearly 400 feet I think that was in the actually the bottom of the first if I remember that right uh other Arkansas baseball news in the professional leagues Dallas kyel getting traded uh to the Milwaukee Brewers and not a fan of this I’m not a brewer I mean I’m a Cubs fan but it’s just yeah here’s uh so cool connection my brother-in-law went to high school with Dallas at Bishop Kelly which is cool they’re on I think they one state if I remember that right but here was Dallas on kind of what he saw in the Milwaukee franchise I’m always eager always excited you know a lot of guys in here would say the same thing especially couple of the guys next to me in the locker room I mean I’ve worked through some injuries kind of worked through some stuff you know poor performance Health stuff but I knew deep down that I still had couple years left so it’s been nice to perform well in a hitter friendly league in the PCL so I’m kind of P that test so it’s nice to be here I this was one of the spots that I kind of targeted is that like your least favorite team or is it still St Louis it’s St Louis Brewers are a really close uh second I mean I don’t like the white socks either don’t get me wrong uh but we don’t play them as often Okay so yeah it’s in the division it’s St Louis and then the Brewers I had a when I was a kid one time this isn’t why I hate them but when I was a kid one time I went to a Brewers game they weren’t playing the Cubs but I had a Cubs Jersey and This Woman’s like Hey kid you’re at the wrong game get out of here I did that uh with my Packers Brett Favre Jersey at Kansas City a few years back with our buddy David from South Arkansas I didn’t phone in in a while David need to hear from you big dog I know you’re excited about the Chiefs trying to go back to the to back to back this upcoming season if we’re I guess 64 days out from Arkansas football that makes it 71 days out no KC is hosting that opener I just forget who it is I can’t remember off the top of my head Big C if you can do that look that up I know they they open the this season that might be it just double check on that that you might you might be accurate on that but we’re 71 days out I guess for the NFL season beginning and Kansas City kicking off their season remember I was in Arro last year when they lost Baltimore oh yeah that’s AFC Championship rematch in Arrowhead so newly retooled Baltimore with Derrik Henry so should be fun all right basketball wise uh Melo Sanchez from Hawaii Pacific and then Big C help me on this Jaden karuth kth uh is committed one’s a high school kid Jaden’s a high school kid Melo is played at Hawaiian specific College wise um not really much on either of these guys uh these are again not the high Richard was talking about earlier not the high-profile kids that you’ve gone after the first nine um guys still want to play they want to compete uh but doesn’t seem like that they’ll be as as close to getting minutes as some of the five stars that you’ve got on campus and the high-profile transfer transfers you brought in well hopefully they’re just good team and locker room guys we had on a great interview with uh I guess it was Brandon rabu earlier excuse me a rbar earlier uh Brandon was great telling us about just one of the reasons Oklahoma City loves Jaylen Williams is because of the chemistry that he provides in that locker room and I think that all of you that watched Jaylen in two years at Arkansas would say that’s accurate that makes a lot of sense because he was that exact same way when he was here at Arkansas all right last news tidbit um as we close out our hog update brought to you by Mr Sparky is Arkansas softball also got a high caliber commitment Kaylee oh another one I I look some of these up I try to look these up and spell them out and then listen to them say why cof wof joined the softball team Big 12 freshman of the Year hit 407 last year some of these names man I’m telling you and I’m not great with English language to begin with but some of these recruits lately have been a little uh just Nate Smith let’s make it Maurice Johnson make it easy make it E easy on us all right that is your hog update this morning broughty by our friends at Mr Sparky Sparky just mentioned the Kansas City Chiefs season beginning 71 days again 64 days out from Arkansas football one of the things that I look forward to each and every year is fantasy football we were talking about it earlier this week I was reading this uh let’s read this thing Christian our great coworker Ray is involved in fantasy football some of you are involved in fantasy football and maybe fantasy basketball baseball I’m just a fantasy football guy so there’s a report and a study out there from simulation and gaming that uh these fantasy leaks Christian uh cause high stress anxiety and problematic Behavior but positive moods are also at higher levels with these individuals that participate in money leagues so your lower experiences are even lower and you’re more stressed with fantasy sports especially buddies on the table but your peak of Happiness reaches higher levels uh it’s because of the gambling like behaviors and the emotional experiences that you go through during the midst of a season now I personally have never won a fantasy football league I’ve got to the championship I’ve been in the playoffs I’ve had to dress up like Harley Quinn after a sacko loss which is for those who don’t know it’s the worst fantasy finish of all um but I try to avoid anything that will stress me out and fantasy is one of those things that I think would stress me out oh it does trust me we make our punishments emotionally physically and taxable like you we we make sure that

saying that you’re ready to go is good you’re least up you’re ready to go yeah well we got a a couple texts already on the Mardi Daniel hotline if you want to wish clay a happy birthday you can do so there or call in clay the reason I play that that song this morning that that’s that’s Jim R’s open and I think of any national radio host Jim has I don’t know if I’d say perfected but he’s he’s really really honed in and crafted great callers over the years of him doing radio I guess he’s just on doing on Twitter now but uh you you wrote about a great AR cancer uh radio caller in the state hammer and Hank from Prairie Grove um clay I’ve I’ve listen a lot of sports talk in my time and I know he’s he’s definitely a legend and uh you still remember like the DAT he passed when he passed and and everything that kind of he provided to to you and Chuck and and you and Bo back in the day yeah I mean he called every day you know Hank was was you know was special in a lot of ways and kind of uh you know the adopted favorite son of prie Grove that you had warri suspenders and his Cat in the Hat top hat and you know I think family resisted you know that he would just walk out the door and hit hch heik to the square in fville or or wherever he needed to go uh for a while but just realized that people in prry Grove were going to take care of him and know he was front and center you know games uh you know high school games or whatever was going on because he was a sports fan but Above All Else he was a Razorback fan and positive in every way and but his uh his calls were unique and they they were they were uh positive and enthusiastic and you know you just look forward to them and and I know through the years uh the different uh producers that we had on the show and you know it was over 30 something years there might have been you know five or six and when he called it didn’t really matter what was going on out we we might make him hold because we didn’t want to put him on right at the end of a segment because we wanted to make sure we were we started segments with him so that he wasn’t crowded um but I I just remember you know it’s July 22nd and I mean last week I was like oh my gosh this is anniversary of his passing Eight years ago I don’t remember the date my father died I I remember about when it was um but I don’t ever I mean it hits me every year you know I went to his memorial service and saw the way the town turned out in PR Grove and the stories that were told and there were many um wrote a column about that I think I’ve written one other but I I was thinking about what was I going to write next week well this was you know on the 22nd I’m going to write about Hammer Hank Hank French you know his dad was a an Air Force General U and retired a little early back to Prairie Grove and just everybody in the family the community helped care for for Han and um met him on the Square a few times and you know we talked razor back stuff but some of the calls were just just Priceless and you know if you if you were listening on the on the radio you perked up because this was Hank yeah yeah thank you for letting me talk about Hank this morning hitthatline.com is where you can find Clay’s column I read it yesterday um and Clay that’s someone that’s great grown up in this state and listen to Sports Talk Radio for for quite some time I can’t remember I don’t want to lie I I don’t like I I guess I screen calls for B show I would have been what 2014 and 2015 um was right before his passing so I don’t want to sit here and lie and say I remember him 100% um but I do think like like Han I think part of I mean people have grown up listening to you and Chuck on their Airwaves for 30 years and I think about like some of the callers it’s kind of been they’ve ingratiated themselves um some for good reasons some some for some for bad reasons but uh Hank definitely one of the uh the big time ones but he’s he’s def you know there’s people call in and you know I could go through and name him but I don’t want I don’t want to talk about those people and some of them you know like the negativity just dripped but the enthusiasm that Hank brought was was different and you know I wrote about this there was you know he always had three point point and then he would watch just hang up and listen and Chuck didn’t he didn’t really try to you know engage him too much just kind of let him do his thing and then but Bo somehow really delicately started to kind of engage him and and he and he did and it worked and but there there just was some great calls one one of them that he to me and Chuck you know he had three points usually be statistical things and then it was it was always gentleman and he’s like he finished up with gentlemen you watch that Space Jam movie with Michael Jordan teaming up with bucks bunny going after the bad guys and I mean Chuck and I looked at each other I mean and it was just perfect you know it’s like you know what he you I looked when he hung up I said Chuck I’m going to see space jams had not thought about it before then but if Hank thinks that it’s worth going to then she in not going to space j and he he said I’m taking my wife too it was just you know it just was just perfect every time new one’s uh new one’s terrible but the old one with Michael Patrick I guess Charles Barkley and and that one was uh that was good back there Larry’s in it and uh um space j Hank Hank wants us all to watch space jams tonight on Netflix I guess you can still find it yeah that it’s probably the there Disney Plus or something like that um clay we can we we can definitely come back to Hank in just a bit couple things that have happened uh the last few days that I I think are pertinent to to our Airwaves and to you um Big O Oliver niller Southwest Conference Hall of Fame I clay you could you could explain to me why it’s taking this long I mean I’m looking up his stats and seeing okay top five top why what happened yeah first of all just think about it in these terms Southwest Conference Hall of Fame encompasses nine schools and encompasses every sport that you can imagine you know it’s it’s not just it’s not just basketball so this isn’t a Basketball Hall of thing this is a football this is a basketball this is track and field this my dad’s in it they’ve they’ve inducted Sports Riders so uh in the South you know first of all it’s a really New Hall of Fame it was created just a few years ago so they started from scratch it was after the Southwest Conference died and they decided we’re going to have a Hall of Fame looking back you know over this great complex that no longer exists so when you start from scratch you you can’t take 50 every year you’re taking you know nine or 10 or whatever because your lunching you you know everybody gets to speak and I I’m doing a Hall of Fame lunching today and we did four a couple of years ago and we’re trying to do it in an hour and get people back home or to their jobs and four you know you say okay you get you get five minutes well that’s not fair so so I guess my point is everybody can’t go in at once and if you look at these groups it is so rich and I can’t tell you that last year’s group you know that Oliver deserves in it or next year’s group somebody else you know so to say that it’s taken this long well the well the hall has only existed for a few years so that’s that’s the answer yeah and he’s a guy that I know a lot of Arkansas fans happy to to see he’ll be inducted coming up Tuesday August the 13th uh in Waco Texas of all places I know um my dad being a b Waco’s grown a lot since then still not a place I’d love to live but uh cool for a a Dallas Fort Worth area kid uh get it and of course an Arkansas Razer back that is uh that is close to home so that’s a I think it didn’t he wasn’t he from Fort Worth yeah is that right yeah Fort Worth okay uh and so I got I got one big O story all right let’s hear it so it was his senior year and remember uh Barnhill the dressing room was accessible you had to come out of the dress room and you walked right out on the court it was in the corner kind of let’s see that would be the southwest corner uh you could actually see the locker room door from the court so people would just wait out there in Throgs and you come out players come out and they would they would give autographs you know they didn’t clear the arena and so 15 20 minutes afterwards there’d be 300 fans little kids and big O came out you know he’ signed autograph signed autographs signed he came out with a red ink pad and an O stamp and he just stamped stamped stamped he didn’t sign anything he just had a red o and he stamped everything which is kind of cool cuz he did it you know and you say this is Big O and you know but instead of you know doing an O but he just and he his answer Nolan got on to him for that and stopped it say no you got to sign oh you gotta and he goes but I can get 350 in in seven or eight minutes and get to dinner so it was about getting to dinner for Big O I love that uh had not heard that story I wish clay I got a chance I saw it yeah I saw it see in person got chance to watch him in uh excuse me uh play in bar hill arena for basketball camp back in the day but never actually got to take in a game outside of I guess the red white game that was that they put on with with uh now the late Eddie sudden but Eddie was there for that as was uh coach Richardson um clay’ got a new coach obviously John Cal Perry we’ve talked about him numerous times since he’s taken over for obvious reasons people want to know I saw he just got his house uh situated uh uh but tonight is is a big stage for him um you’ve got got two guys that’ll be first round picks two other guys that will probably be drafted Edwards and Reeves uh I I just think about it’s kind of weird um to be an Arkansas fan but you’re rooting for all these Kentucky guys to to go high and and make their money tonight because now their head coach is is your head coach just kind of weird position we find ourselves in well it just it just adds a little more weight to his legacy which is always great but hey if there was ever a coach that would be comfortable sitting as his guys are drafted it’d be him because he’s done it about 30 times I mean it just it’s incred I saw a list of what his guys in the NBA have made you know their lifetime uh contracts in the NBA and it’s it’s like a billion is it I mean I don’t know uh I mean this just like so John McDonald when he was head coach in Arkansas and won all these National Championship when he brought somebody into his office he pulled about a a shoe box or maybe it was a cigar I can’t remember it might have been a cigar box and he just opened it up and dumped it in like like 30 something national championship rings just rolled across the table and and he and his pitch was if you want one of those you’ll come here and you’ll probably get three or four because they you know they they could win three national championships of the year you know that you know if you’re a distance guy you can win in Cross Country you can win indoor you win outdoor so he says because you could win eight or nine or 10 you know in your in your four years here and then guys were doing that you know they had a box of rings but I think John comes in and has a PowerPoint in said this is what my guys have made and it just goes on and on and on and on and it’s like oh I get it and there’s nobody else can do that maybe Nick Savin could have done that for you know football players but there’s nobody in basketball that can put that kind of a list up there you know I think coach Kay had a good one but not anybody else was really close to uh what John has done Coach Cal um and then and we’re going to add to it in the draft there’s going to be more I saw uh clay I don’t know if you saw this Fox Sports had a stat like of the the top nine or 10 best colleges to translate and produce NBA players lately and Arkansas’s in the top 10 that’s only going to go up uh in just a bit I I don’t want to I want to mean we watch them all the time we we were watching Daniel Gafford in the finals yep I mean if they’re out there yep Jordan got his first ring happy for him uh and I I I do want to discuss that a little bit more uh as we continue on with Klay Henry on a 70th birthday make sure you wish clay if you see him today a happy number 70th and he embarks on another decade uh if you need a place eight you’re what what I said another yes your eighth decade I guess it is that’s pretty uh yeah pretty crazy um if you need a good place to watch the NBA draft tonight or just a good weekend Chill Spot or anything for that matter matter my old roommate and Buddy have opened up this awesome place called cart path social you can check it out online at cartpath social.com number one Northwest Arkansas destination for indoor golf

you have had again some success you were talking about Daniel there uh we had a conversation with Brandon rabar earlier in hour to about jayen Williams Isaiah Joe uh and some other guys now Jaylen was drafted um Isaiah also again started elsewhere um but you think about Arkansas racing success I think this is the the first time since 2018 that they won’t have a player drafted so a streaks going to end tonight but streaks will start back up again starting this next year if I had to guess yeah I think it’s the that’s a given that they they’ll have they’ll have some lottery picks next year when you look at this roster might be several you could have as many as is three um I mean he in in coach CS had three in numerous years so that that’s not a stretch I mean when you’re signing five stars and the NBA guys are just drooling yeah it’s it’s pretty sweet uh that’s the sign of the times that’s what we have at Arkansas going on in basketball right now you know we’ve got we got the baseball draft right around the corner you know you’re going to have Razer backs ton of them taken there I mean you you might have as many as 8 nine 10 players drafted uh you know by Major League Baseball from this roster including you know Hagen Smith in the top five so this is kind of fun there’s not much else going on MH uh I I gotta admit I’m not gonna be watching the draft I think we’re GNA have George Straight Blair and uh you know I think it’s the I uh I don’t know all that Gann has planned but she knows how to throw a party so and she told me months ago this this was going to be this was going to be a night in the we’re were GNA spice up the summer so I I’m just going to sit back and see what see what my wife daughters some of my some of my fishing buddies you I’ve got people in from Colorado

uh it has been the most consistent beef that we’ve received on the mccardy Danel hotline and deservedly so I’m going to be honest if I was Ann player I’d never talk to him again wouldn’t consider transferring even if I had eligibility uh kind of your initial thoughts on what’s transpired the last 48 hours or so well I’ll say this about college players now I don’t think they have quite the beef that they did five years ago because those agies are getting paid they’re not getting paid the way the coaches are but they’re they’re getting paid it’s a different different uh deal and then the other thought on this and so I can remember sitting in first of all uh congratulations to Tony Vell and he’s a good friend of mine still have communication with him uh you know it’s it’s uh it’s an you know it’s an interesting dilemma for Arkansas fans because they saw the kind of head-to-head that he had with the with with Dave Van Horn few years ago but I mean they both bued HS I mean they that’s like two bulls in the field fiery tough and that’s what makes Tony good and that’s that’s what makes Dave good so uh he fought for Arkansas players the same way he foughts F fights for his Tennessee players I mean he was firing that third base coaching box he challenged an umpires when assistant coaches weren’t for Arkansas and listen to people like Carson shatty and others talk about what you know the the fire that that Tony gave them uh you know as players and so I you I give it to him he he’s done you know he’s done great things at Tennessee and and they’ve set themselves up for for a nice you know for for more I mean they’re the now Dave’s you know he’s got a winning record against Tony so I I I think that uh Arkansas is s still sitting pretty good with their coach so but Tony first time I talked to him it was right after he’d come from TCU and it was clear that he had been uncomfortable working for his previous head coach s Nagel and and I he he didn’t just rip him but there were some things that came out you know over the next six months being around Tony and hearing it from other coaches on the staff uh so he you know sash nigle is he he’s he’s exactly what you think he is when he’s walking away from Texas A&M to Texas he don’t really care about the people around him he doesn’t care about he’s taking his staff with him too well I’m talking about players I mean some of them will go some of them won’t some of them are Aggies to the core yeah you there’s so I mean you heard it over and over like this guy grew up to be an agie this guy grew up you know he’s an A so there’s there’s some of them but but anyway uh the the he belongs in Texas and and when I say that I’m not think that they deserve each other and I will enjoy is is you know Arkansas beats Texas when they come in here this season too and and Tennessee coming in clay sounds like from Dave yes so yeah so I you know I don’t have uh a lot of great things to say about him I I was I was rooting for Tennessee against Texas A&M one because I like Tony and two because I’m not I’m I’m not too fond of a SLO think about the the Texas torpedo Fort Worth College Station now Austin Texas I if I had to pick one of the three I’d say Fort Worth times a thousand a lot of success for TCU Texas is Texas is a great job it really is yeah so I get it uh still frustrated how it went down and a lot of people seem to be in that same camp with that uh I I don’t know what’s going to happen there I guess the question you got to ask is Clay who’s A&M gonna get I mean Tommy always I I think Tommy’s always spot on it’s like domino effect I mean we’ve already seen one sec to SEC move do we see another with the Texas A&M job yeah there’s there’s you know they they’ll they’ve got it going and you know Texas A&M is in a fertile recruiting territory and they’ll be there’ll be somebody that wants that that job and that they’ve they’ve committed to baseball the fans have uh it’s uh you know but you’re right it might be an L you know an LSU coach moving it might be you know I don’t know um what what it will be but they they’ll get a good coach and then you know like you say The Dominoes you know then there’ll be another job open so we’ll see you know one thing to watch uh Josh elander you know the hitting coach yeah at Tennessee who was at Arkansas so you have to put him in the Dave Van Horn coaching tree he’s about ready for you know to get a good job so I don’t I don’t know where that he’ll land uh but that that will be that’ll be a test for Tony to see how he managed his thing and U I don’t know if you realize this but Tony not really uh a technical coach you know he was a pitching coach at TCU a hitting coach at Arkansas that really not his strength his strength is recruiting and motivation yeah and so his his pitching coach Frank Anderson who’s a head coach at Oklahoma State Superior pitching coach Josh is great coach um curious you know Tony’s not he’s not coaching pitchers or hitters at Tennessee yeah Josh is is doing the so be interesting to see Josh is GNA be somewhere soon all right we’ll talk more about that coming up in your sec’s home for the best sports

and Spas trusted Pool Experts and your source for backyard fun locations in Fort Smith Springdale and always online at Burton pools.com and we welcome you back for our final segment here on a what’s your beef Wednesday if you still have a beef Gman mcard Daniel hotline open 877 377 6963 text in for from our coworker Ray clay happy birthday today so Ray wishes oh I’m glad glad to hear that brother Ray now Clay St with T&M for a sec um EA Sports I know you’re not going to buy a new Xbox or Playstation with uh NCAA football comes out um but they R you got it right I guess it that’s not a birthday president I I I don’t think you’re expecting today um but I did want your thoughts on this they ranked Kyle Field as the most difficult place to play in college football the home win percentage ten and everything I I get that’s a the 12th man’s there but you’ve been all over the SEC in the country that’s not the toughest place to play is it so I I’m probably the wrong one to ask about all this kind of stuff because I’ve never felt like that you know that fans are the reason why a team wins or loses I you know I think home court home field is about who has the best players and as you have better players the fans get louder um I’ve been to Kyle Field when I you know their team wasn’t very good and their fans they weren’t very good either I mean they just sit there you know kind of hacked off so when you have good players uh and good coaches then it then it kind of reaches a crescendo the the you know the same thing is going on uh you know with the softball team you know that that wasn’t a tough place to play but now it is but it isn’t because they’ve got 3500 fans there it’s because they got guys gals that can knock it out of the park so when baggies have good players then that’s a tough place to play because they got a lot of fans but it wasn’t that tough a place last year their team wasn’t as good I know so so so it just correlates with when you have great players same thing was going on when Tom osbor was coaching at Nebraska you know they’ve got all those Nebraska fans great example yeah they Haven been a very tough Place lately that’s a the players that’s a really good example with uh Nebraska in Lincoln and I guess it’s Lincoln Memorial or whatever it’s called Uh other news to get to in your SEC update sounds like uh print vbl has an extension for the Oklahoma fans listen clay where do you we’ve had this discussion with with Chuck and Tommy a little bit I don’t know if I asked you where do you stand on on Oklahoma in year one do you think they’re going to be able to compete in this conference well I don’t see great defensive tackles and if you don’t have great defensive tackles there’s going to be some some uh you know some tough sledding for for your team um because there are great defensive players defensive linemen in the SEC and not just it one place you I did this interview with switcher about oh 6 eight weeks ago and it’s going to be a three-part movie at Hogs plus I think coming out in about a month I it’s really good stuff not because I asked the questions because who there was sitting across from me and I asked him about you know what Oklahoma was going to face in the SEC and I I think he’s as good a source as anyone and I mean he loves the cers and I think he helps with their nil campaign and he’s he’s he’s all it but he said he’s been trying to tell their fans that there’s some years they’re going to lose seven games yeah and they they’re like huh you know that that there might be some years where they go seven and five and um that if they’re not and I and I said well what do you think the SDC is like he gave the same answer that my dad did 30 something years ago when we were at the Board of Trustees meeting in the student union and Roy Kramer was introduced by Frank BS is the you know they’re going into the SEC and my dad leaned over and he goes to SEC like playing Texas every week well people in Oklahoma know what it’s like to play Texas and it’s a slobber knocker but that’s what it is I don’t care if you’re playing Mississippi State um you you might play vanderbeld and you think you got an easy game and you might beat him but but they’re going to have some dudes and but the rest of those teams in the SEC there there’s no there’s no easy you know they’re not they’re not twinkies and cupcakes yeah it’s not a it’s not a walk in the park there’s no question about that all right that is your SEC update as we continue on with Klay Henry on his 70th birthday and our SEC

Greenwood at burn Pools and Spas we do more than build pools we build longterm relationships burp pools.com clay as we wrap up the show with you I I wonder your thoughts on the D1 council yesterday moving forward with like analysts and quality control basically giving staffs more leeway with what they can do like these insane staffs that we’ve seen already there were certain restrictions on these these analyst and those have have gone away as of last night as of the Voting is this I mean what look at this it’s just the divide’s going to get greater I mean is that what you see when you see a rule change like this that the bigger schools just got richer as of last night well the bigger schools are making the rules and if the bigger schools are making the rules they’re going to swing heavily towards them and all of the little schools are scared to death that there’s going to be a separation and these schools you know the the Big 10 and the SEC the ACC and Big 12 that they’re just going to run off and have their own organization that very well may be what happens but so every time there is a chance for the council to say what do y’all want well we want this they’re going to get it I hate everyone every time in other words there will be no rules eventually yeah I hate that but you’re right you’re we we don’t really know T here’s the thing we don’t know what it’s going to look like we we think we’re going to hate it we always every human hates change you want it to be the same you you know you want you want normal but then we get there it’s like ah I mean I I can tell you that you know 50 years ago 45 years ago when they started giving us laptops and little computers to take the Press Box and we’re on Deadline and we got to figure out how to use them and it was a little bit intimidating for a lot of people especially the older crew young guys we we can do that but so we’re we’re afraid of change we don’t know what that’s going to look like it might look great and we just we just don’t know yeah then again wait and see we’ll see how what it affects on college football in 2024 we got the right 12 team playoff this year clay changes and then the potential changes with nil and the Revenue distribution that is coming down the pipe whenever everything gets uh shaken out um one other thing I want to ask you before we let you go because I know you got birthday festivities you got TV you got a Hall of Fame lunch you got everything coming up um Grant Hall Charlie Jones going in today let’s go congratulations Grant who’s been honored Airwaves a many years and and comes on with halftime each and every week um what about this idea of moving college football games up an hour if you’re ESPN like you can’t do it this year obviously cuz they’ve already set times and dates but let’s say like 2025 clay what about starting games at 10 Central 11:00 a.m. eastern uh Fox would stay the same so you you you beat them to the punch per se of college what do you think about that idea of moving up all games throughout the day on ESPN ABC ESPN 2 SEC network up an hour you in favor of that idea the more the marrier and I’m I’m the I’m all the people in my family I’m talking about my immediate family they get up on Saturday and they watch game day they think that’s the coolest thing my wife has it on you know we’re kind of starting our morning I could care less I would much rather at 10 o’clock or 10:30 there be a football game then we sitting there and and these guys are telling us well what they think’s going to happen they don’t know I mean it it’s I mean uh it’s like Roy Kent and Ted lass they’re not in the locker rooms they don’t no they haven’t none of them have been to practice and they’re all sitting there trying to pick G I just soon watch a game so move it up start the gamees I’m for that I’m with you on that well that’s where we’ll leave you clay we appreciate you jumping us on per usual on a Wednesday and enjoy number 70 man
