00:05 How you doing?
00:06 Doing quite well.
00:07 Kyle for a guy who enjoys life.
00:10 This is a great place to be this afternoon.
00:12 Shell Stadium, three or four days before the big football game.
00:17 Texas Southern in Prairie View, Labor Day Classic, a game.
00:20 Texas Southern hasn't had the privilege of having a W in what, eight or nine years?
00:26 Eight years.
00:28 Do you feel as though Coach McKinney has put together a team
00:32 that could be able to accomplish that this season?
00:34 Yes, I think this is going to be one of the better Labor Day Classics
00:37 because I also think that Coach Bubba McDowell on the other side
00:40 will have his team ready to go also.
00:42 Anytime you beat anybody seven or eight times in a row, you know how that is.
00:45 You play dominoes, right?
00:47 I don't, but you play checkers, right?
00:49 Yeah.
00:50 Okay, I play--anytime you can beat anybody seven or eight times in a row,
00:54 you got something rolling.
00:56 Well, look, you've seen many of these,
00:58 and you've been through a lot of historical runs for both of these programs.
01:03 Do you feel as though these guys could possibly both be ready to claim the SWAT West,
01:12 or is it still going to be for Southern?
01:14 Well, Southern is my pick to win because of Coach Eric Dooley
01:17 and what he has returning,
01:19 but if there's a year that Texas Southern or Prairie View can seat that team
01:24 as the number one team in the West, I think this is the year.
01:27 I have both of them in my top ten.
01:29 I'm like Dizzy Dean.
01:31 I give different ratings to everybody.
01:34 So in my top ten, I have them tied for number nine,
01:39 but I think they both could be better.
01:42 All right. Any last thoughts?
01:44 We want to encourage people to come out to the game on the real serious side.
01:47 I would encourage people to try to bring somebody with you
01:51 or tell other people about the game.
01:53 These two universities are very dynamic, and they need your support.
01:57 We are in the fourth or third largest city in the country,
02:00 and they need to have a packed house out here at Shell Stadium this coming weekend.
02:06 Definitely. And tell people how they can be able to listen to you.

02:53 And he's with me on Wednesdays along with this guy in front of me.
