Crashing the Boards: Looking at kickoff windows for OU's slate of SEC games

Crashing the Boards: Looking at kickoff windows for OU's slate of SEC games
HEY EVERYBODY, AND WELCOME INTO THE SHOW. TONIGHT I AM BRYAN KEATING ALONGSIDE HANNAH HOOVER. IT IS TIME FOR CRASHING THE BOARDS. LET’S DO IT. I CAN’T WAIT HERE. YOU WANT TO TALK A LITTLE COLLEGE FOOTBALL TONIGHT? I AM SO EXCITED FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL. THIS IS MY FAVORITE SEASON. I DO SAY I’M A BIT PARTIAL. I CAN’T WAIT, YOU KNOW, YOU GET TO THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. THE NBA IS WINDING DOWN. WE’LL HAVE A LITTLE NBA TONIGHT. BUT THE NBA IS WINDING DOWN THE DRAFTS IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. AND THEN IT IS OFFICIALLY FOOTBALL SEASON. THE BIGGEST NEWS I THINK THIS WEEK WAS THE SCHEDULE CAME OUT FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA, PUT UP THE SCHEDULE AND AND ALL THE TIME THERE WERE AT LEAST A LOT OF THE TIMES CAME OUT. YOU SEE THE FLEX NOW, FLEX MEANS EITHER 230 KICKOFF OR A NIGHT TIME KICKOFF. AND SO THAT’S THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR FOR OKLAHOMA. THERE’S NO 11:00 GAMES. YOU HEAR THEM SCREAMING OVER AND OVER FOR A LOT OF YEARS. WE DON’T WANT TO PLAY AT 11:00 IN THE MORNING. YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY’RE NOT ONLY TWO TIMES ALL SEASON. WILL OKLAHOMA KICK OFF AT 11:00 IN THE MORNING. AND SO NO, IT’S TOO EARLY FOR US. I GET IT, MAN, I GET IT. WE WORK AT NIGHT, SO. SO I WILL SET THIS UP TO YOU AS SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE TO COVER A LOT OF 11 A.M. GAMES, AT LEAST AS FAR AS OKLAHOMA THERE IN THE SEC AND NOW THEY’RE PLAYING IN THE AFTERNOON AT NIGHT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? UH, I THINK I’M EXCITED FOR THE SEC. THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. YEAH. ON THE TOP, TOP OF MIND IS THIS QUESTION RIGHT HERE. AND THAT IS WHO IS ALABAMA. I OKAY SLOWLY RIDING THIS OUT BECAUSE IT’S JUST IT’S NEW. WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE THIS YEAR. UH, NEW HEAD COACH. UM, NOT NOT TO MENTION IT’S JUST THE NICK SABAN ERA IS OVER. AND THAT IS STRANGE TO ME BECAUSE THAT’S ALL WE’VE KNOWN. THAT’S ALL WE’VE SEEN FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. MICHAEL PENIX OBVIOUSLY THEY DID A GREAT JOB IN WASHINGTON WITH HIM. NOW THEY’VE GOT JALEN MILROE. SO HE’S HE’S PRETTY AWESOME AS WELL. HE’S A TREMENDOUS ATHLETE. YEAH 3000 ALMOST 3000 YARDS ON THE SEASON 23 TOUCHDOWNS I MEAN HE’S REALLY REALLY GOOD I’M EXCITED TO SEE THAT. ALSO ON THE SCHEDULE WAS LSU IN BATON ROUGE. YEAH DEATH VALLEY OH MY GOODNESS. THAT’S GOING TO BE A MATCHUP RIGHT THERE. THEIR FANS ARE GOING TO GIVE THEM A GOOD TIME NO QUESTION. SO HERE’S THE DEAL WITH THE 11:00 KICKS. AND I’VE HEARD IT FOR A LOT OF YEARS. AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND BECAUSE AS A FAN, YOU’RE GEARING UP. YOU WANT TO TAILGATE. YOU WANT TO SPEND SOME TIME. AND WHEN YOU KICK OFF AT 11:00 IN THE MORNING, IT’S JUST IT’S TOUGH. IT’S, YOU KNOW, HOW THE COLLEGE KIDS ARE. IT’S TOUGH TO GET THERE AT 11:00 IN THE MORNING AND TAILGATE. I THINK WE’RE IN FOR SOME WILD NIGHTS IN MEMORIAL STADIUM, AND I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS YOU’RE SEEING ABOUT THE SEC IS THERE WILL BE SOME WILD NIGHTS AT MEMORIAL STADIUM. THERE ARE REALLY HEADLINING HOME GAMES, WHICH AT OKLAHOMA, BECAUSE THEY PLAY TEXAS AT THE COTTON BOWL. WE JUST HAVEN’T HAD ALL THE TOP FIVE, TOP TEN, TOP 15 MATCHUPS OVER THE YEARS. AND THE BIG HEADLINE NAMES. SO I THINK WE ARE IN FOR SOME WILD NIGHTS AT MEMORIAL STADIUM. AND OH, YOU FANS, WHEN THEY SAW THAT SCHEDULE COME OUT, THEY JUST KIND OF KICKED BACK IN THE EASY CHAIR. THEY SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS SEC SEC THING MIGHT BE WORKING OUT FOR US. THIS MIGHT BE AT LEAST SO FAR THE SEC THING MIGHT BE WORKING OUT FOR US. WE DO HAVE MORE COLLEGE FOOTBALL TO GET TO TONIGHT, SO I WANT TO LOOK WAY FAR AHEAD TONIGHT TO TO THE SECOND SATURDAY IN OCTOBER FOR OU TEXAS. AND TALK A LITTLE MORE OF THE FOOTBALL SIDE OF THIS THING BECAUSE SOME OF THE EARLY LINES AS FAR AS FROM LAS VEGAS HAVE COME OUT AND THE NEWEST ONE FOR OU, TEXAS HAS TEXAS OPENING AS AN EIGHT POINT FAVORITE AGAINST THE SOONERS. HOW DOES THAT STRIKE YOU? WELL, IT STRIKES ME ONE WAY. I DON’T KNOW, WE JUST GOT TO SEE MORE. YEAH, THAT’S TRUE WAY TOO EARLY. THAT’S ALL IT COMES DOWN TO FOR ME. UM, YES, I UNDERSTAND WHY TEXAS IS THE FAVORITE. THEY HAVE QUINN EWERS. HE IS A HEISMAN CANDIDATE. I MEAN, THERE’S A LOT OF REASONS WHY, YOU KNOW, ON PAPER, THEY SHOULD BE THE FAVORITE, BUT THAT’S ON PAPER. SO I THINK WE ARE ALL AWARE OF THAT FACT. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, UH, OU TEN AND THREE ON THE SEASON LAST YEAR, REALLY GREAT. THEY WERE ALSO RANKED NUMBER 15. AND IT JUST COMES DOWN TO THE QB DIFFERENCES FOR ME. YOU KNOW JAXON ARNOLD, HE’S YOUNG. HE HAD SOME GREAT FLASHES IN THAT BOWL GAME. YOU MENTIONED THAT. ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY. UH, BUT BUT I THINK TEXAS IS A SAFE BET FOR PEOPLE JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW, ON PAPER IT LOOKS GOOD. NO, NO, NO I TEXAS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME UM, I THINK IS AHEAD PROGRAM WISE AS FAR AS OKLAHOMA, OU IS REALLY HAD THE LEG UP ON TEXAS FOR A LONG TIME. I MEAN, MORE THAN A DECADE, BUT THE LONGHORNS GO TO THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF LAST YEAR. OU, BY THE WAY, DID BEAT TEXAS, THEIR ONLY LOSS BEFORE THE PLAYOFFS. BUT FOR ME, IT’S IT’S JUST WHO IS OKLAHOMA? YOU ASKED WHO IS ALABAMA. AND WE DON’T KNOW. YOU KNOW NICK SABAN IS GONE AND WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE. WHO IS OKLAHOMA. YOU KNOW THEY PLAYED IN THE ALAMO BOWL. AND THAT’S THE CLOSEST THING THAT WE GOT TO SEEING. YOU KNOW JACKSON ARNOLD IN A REAL COMPETITIVE SITUATION I KNOW HE PLAYED A LITTLE BIT AT THE END OF THE BYU GAME AND THEY NEEDED HIM. AND HE PLAYED WELL ENOUGH FOR THEM TO TO SURVIVE THAT GAME. BUT WHO IS OKLAHOMA? AND I DON’T HAVE ANY IDEA. BUT I DO KNOW THIS. I EXPECT TEXAS TO BE REALLY GOOD. A RETURNING QUINN EWERS. ARE THEY GOING TO BE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF GOOD? I THINK THE ANSWER IS PROBABLY YES. AND AGAIN, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME, TEXAS IS PRETTY FAR AHEAD OF OKLAHOMA. NOW THAT MIGHT CHANGE BY THE TIME WE GET TO OCTOBER BECAUSE WE JUST DON’T KNOW ABOUT OU. THERE ARE SO MANY QUESTIONS AND IT’S YEAR THREE FOR BRANT VENABLES, AND IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO WIN. AND WHO ARE THEY? I DON’T KNOW, AND I CAN’T WAIT TO FIND OUT. BUT AS FAR AS BEATING TEXAS IN OCTOBER, I THINK THE SOONERS ARE BEHIND TEXAS. BUT IN THAT GAME, IT’S FUNNY. SOMETIMES IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO’S AHEAD AND YOU DON’T KNOW. AND IT’S A CLICHE AND I GET IT. YOU KNOW YOU THROW OUT THE RECORDS BUT THAT IS KIND OF THAT’S ONE GAME WHERE BAD TEXAS TEAMS HAVE BEEN REALLY GOOD OU TEAMS. AND AND VICE VERSA. SO I DON’T KNOW. BUT I JUST DON’T KNOW WHO O U IS GOING INTO THIS SEASON. I CAN’T WAIT TO FIND OUT THE OTHER STORY IN THE FINAL STORY, I WANT TO GET TO HERE ON CRASHING THE BOARDS. AS YOU SAW THE STORY ABOUT THE BIG 12 CONFERENCE AND THE NAMING RIGHTS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SELLING THE NAMING RIGHTS TO THE CONFERENCE. AND BY THAT I MEAN YOU’VE SEEN THIS IN BOWL GAMES. IT’S THE TOSTITOS FIESTA BOWL, AND IT’S THE ALLSTATE SUGAR BOWL. WELL, THERE’S A POSSIBILITY NOW IT COULD BE THE ALLSTATE BIG 12 FOR THE ALLSTATE FOOTBALL CONFERENCE. OR LOOK, IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE ALLSTATE, BUT THAT’S KIND OF THE RUMOR GOING AROUND RIGHT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE ALLSTATE FOOTBALL CONFERENCE? IT’S BUSINESS BABY. IT IS BUSINESS BABY. THAT’S ALL IT COMES DOWN TO. I THINK THE NIL HAS SHOWN US, UM, IF IT HASN’T SHOWN US ONE THING, IT’S ALL ABOUT BUSINESS. AND HERE WE GO AGAIN. THERE IS A REVENUE GAP WITH THE BIG 12. I THINK THAT’S WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THEY’RE NOT S.E.C., THE CASUAL VIEWER, IS NOT AS EXCITED TO WATCH YOU KNOW, A BIG 12 MATCHUP AS THEY ARE ALABAMA TO AND WHOEVER. NO IT’S TRUE. SO BECAUSE OF THAT THEY NEED A LITTLE EXTRA HELP. AND HERE THEY GO WITH WITH THE MONEY. HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS ON THE LINE I BELIEVE IS WHAT I’M HEARING. IT COULD BE. AND WHO KNOWS. WE’LL FIND OUT ABOUT THE FINANCES. BUT YOU’RE RIGHT. WE ALL. I HAD WRITTEN DOWN CHECKING, BUT IT JUST CAME TO ME. IT’S A IT’S A FAMOUS RANDY MOSS QUOTE FROM WAY BACK WHEN. JUST STRAIGHT CASH HOMIE. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAY STRAIGHT CASH? I LOVE THAT. SO STRAIGHT CASH AND THAT’S ALL IT IS. AND YOU’RE RIGHT, THERE IS A REVENUE GAP BETWEEN THE BIG 12 AND THE SEC AND THE BIG TEN. AND SO BRETT YORMARK, WHO I THINK IS AN OUTSTANDING COMMISSIONER AND HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF THE BIG 12, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO MAKE MONEY AND BRING IN REVENUE STREAMS. IT DOES SOUND STRANGE WHEN YOU THINK WHAT LEAGUE DO YOU PLAN? WE PLAN THE ALL STATE LEAGUE. THAT IS STRANGE, BUT I GUARANTEE YOU IN TEN YEARS THEY’RE ALL GOING TO DO IT. PROBABLY WAY BEFORE THAT AND IT WON’T BE WEIRD IN TEN YEARS. AND SO BRETT YORMARK, HE’S JUST TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE JONESES AND IT’S STRAIGHT CASH, HOMIE. WHY ARE YOU SELLING YOUR NAMING RIGHTS? BECAUSE WE NEED THE MONEY AND THAT’S THAT’S THE WAY IT IS AND THAT’S WHAT IT IS. COLLEGE FOOTBALL HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR A LONG TIME, BUT IT’S JUST SO MUCH MORE EVIDENT NOW WITH THE NIL, WITH THE NEW TV LANDSCAPE AND THE NEW LEAGUES AND THE POTENTIAL OF A ALL STATE CONFERENCE OR WHATEVER THEY WANT TO CALL IT OUT THERE, TOP TO BOTTOM.
