Summary

TexAgs Live - GO Hour with Nuño & OB (August 10, 2026)

Podcast Overview

In this lively episode of TexAgs Live's "GO Hour" (August 10, 2026), hosts David Nuño and Olin Buchanan (OB), alongside producer Nick Savage and Kayla Gaither in the Social Center, dig deep into Texas A&M Aggie football as the new season approaches. The conversation teems with updates, candid evaluations of player development, and reflections on program culture under Coach Mike Elko, with a fair dose of friendly ribbing, nostalgia, and behind-the-scenes banter. Key topics include the potential of breakout players like Terry Bussey and Marcel Reed, staff changes (notably new OC Holman Wiggins), position group evaluations, and the ever-present Aggie optimism (sprinkled with realism).

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Catching Up and The “Grind” of August Camp

• OB returns after travel, catching up on how the Aggies have been grinding through camp.
• Lighthearted talk about being exhausted from the sun and aging.
  • Nuño: “At what point in your life does sun make you a tired person for, like, more than a day?” [02:05-02:11]

---

2. Terry Bussey’s Development and “25 in 25” Feature

• Breakout Catch: Discussion around a viral one-handed catch by Terry Bussey in practice.
  • OB: “You know what? You see guys make spectacular catches... and they fall out of bounds or fall down. Terry Bussy made that one-handed catch, brought it down—he’s still running. That was tremendous. Want to see a lot of that from Terry Bussey this year.” [03:03-03:18]
• Development Path: Emphasis on patience amid high expectations for freshmen, especially those like Bussey shifting positions and coming from small schools:
  • OB: “He got thrust into the wide receiver position that he never played at any level because of injuries. Give him a couple of years to learn the position and to develop... Maybe this is going to be a breakout year for him.” [04:56-05:12]

---

3. Player Development & Perspectives on Progress

• Patience for Growth: Cautioning against labeling players as “busts” if they don’t dominate early. Highlights previous players (e.g., Trey Zuhn, Rick’s, even Johnny Manziel’s sophomore year) who developed on a different timeline.
• OB: “There’s this idea…if you don’t just come out and dominate as a freshman, it’s a bust. We always got to remember... it makes sense that give him a couple of years to learn the position... Maybe this is going to be a breakout year for him.” [04:18-05:12]

---

4. Marcel Reed’s 2025 Season & Expectations

• Stat Recap & Critique of Media Narratives: Reed’s strong statistical season highlighted, pushback on the narrative that “he must take a step forward.”
  • OB: “He threw for over 3,000 yards, rushed for almost 500, accounted for something like 30 touchdowns... His development…is just making some better decisions, taking care of the ball...” [06:58-07:09]
• OB: “It’s astounding to me how many people are going to just dismiss everything he did last year... What kind of clown are you? ...I expect more from the media.” [08:49-08:57]
• Nuño: “It is not a foregone conclusion that every quarterback takes a step forward.” [08:57-09:03]
• Cautions that QBs can sometimes regress; names like Kay Klubnick and Johnny Manziel are used as examples.

---

5. Measuring “Step Forward” and Team Dynamics

• Nuño and OB agree Reed’s growth will depend as much on protection and the run game as his own poise and decision-making.
  • Nuño: “To me, Marcel’s growth is dependent on a couple things… The pieces around him have to be better.” [11:35-11:55]
• OB uses examples of big plays called back by penalties to note how razor-thin the margins for QB perception can be.
  • OB: “If you give him those three plays... he’s in New York.” [12:47-13:03]

---

6. Holman Wiggins as OC – “Unknown,” not Doubt

• Discussion of fans/media treating coordinator changes as risk by default.
  • Nuño: “I think Holman Wiggins, it’s an unknown. It’s not necessarily a doubt.” [14:47-14:59]
  • OB compares to prior A&M changes that paid off, like Kevin Sumlin being promoted under RC Slocum.

---

7. For Sure & Unknowns: Offense and Defense Position Groups

(Segment begins ~[30:01])

• For Sure (according to hosts):
  • Marcel Reed is “the guy.”
  • WR room is “freaking deep/elites.”
  • Secondary will be “upper tier of the SEC” ([31:39-32:04])
  • Kicking game will be better (after a tough season).
• Not Sure/Unknown:
  • Run defense & linebackers (young, unproven).
  • Offensive line consistency (especially left side).
  • Running backs: talent is there, but blocking/protection is key.
  • Tight end room improvement.

---

8. Listener Interaction & Community Spirit

• Kayla Gaither shares audience questions and texts, including optimism for new hire Wiggins and excitement for women’s soccer/volleyball starting up.
  • Kayla: “[Elko’s] too interested in winning to make a hire that he knows wasn’t the best option... If it doesn’t work out, I don’t think he’ll wait long to change it.” (from listener, [19:31-20:01])

---

9. Fun & Banter: Lunch Outings, Movie Preferences, and 1775 BBQ

• Nuño and OB trade stories about being recognized at local eateries and personal preferences about movie-going.
• Nostalgia about student days, wrestling, and even bad wine and ‘40s’ gets a shout-out in the closing segment ([42:39-43:19]).

---

10. End-of-Hour Reflection: Calm, Confidence, and Development

• Kayla draws a nice parallel between her feeling more comfortable in year two in her role and the transition of a developing quarterback.
  • Kayla: “Now that I’m sitting here, it’s very slow, calm, easy.” [44:12-44:16]
  • Nuño: “Just like Marcel.” [44:34]

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• OB: “Billy [Lucci] says it, it’s like coming from the burning bush.” [03:49-03:56]
• OB: “If TJ Searcy gives me this year what he gave me last year, I’m good with it. He was really good in his role...he’s just a good football player.” [26:53-27:27]
• Nuño: “Are you sure about the running game?” OB: “No, because that goes right back to the offensive line. I don’t care how good your running back is, if you can’t block for him, he’s gonna have trouble.” [33:39-33:59]
• Nuño: “I am for sure that a nine win team gets into the SEC championship game this year.” [36:52] OB: “I’m gonna be skeptical that a 9-3 team is going to get in. But you know, you might be right. It’s gonna happen someday.” [37:58-38:07]
• Kayla: “A.B.R. said about Marcel... he’s calmed down, he’s taken a step back and is playing his game of football.” [43:23-43:50]

Transcript

[David Nuno]

Well, well, well. Only Buchanan is back.

[OB]

He's back like the Terminator.

[David Nuno]

That was my little terrible bit I did last week, whoever the co host was. For the first hour, I was like, well, well, well, Richard Zane.

[OB]

It's funny. Irma asked me. He said, hey, who's going to be, you know, taking your place? I said, I have no idea. I didn't ask. I didn't care.

[David Nuno]

It was a good show. They were good. We always miss when you're here, though.

[OB]

Thank you.

[David Nuno]

Prefer to have you here. And now you are in week two of what we call the Grinder grind.

[OB]

So I got to miss the first part of the grind. I was trying to keep up with it. You know, I saw Richard Zane writing about how Mike Elko says, you know, we got to double down on what we did, which kind of repeating, what. And then how Reuben Owens just got to, you know, work on not stumbling and thinks he could be a thousand yard rusher and things like that. So I was trying to keep up. I heard through my sources here that sometimes I was being disparaged.

[David Nuno]

Not by me, people.

[OB]

You think he's listening? Oh, yeah, he's listening. He's always listening.

[David Nuno]

You do. You do listen a lot.

[OB]

Yeah, I do, but I didn't because

[David Nuno]

you have a life when you're on the road.

[OB]

Plus. Sorry, guys.

[David Nuno]

I just took a shot at everybody watching.

[OB]

I was two hours behind you. Yeah. So sometimes while I was getting up, the show was already, you know, ending. Yeah.

[David Nuno]

Well, I mean, the room.

[OB]

If I got up at 7, the show, at least the Go hour was over.

[David Nuno]

Well, we have some really committed listeners.

[OB]

Yeah.

[David Nuno]

That will listen to.

[OB]

Some should be committed.

[David Nuno]

They'll listen to the Late show or they'll listen to it late on Spotify or wherever they get their things. So I wanted to kind of go and just pick a couple of different things that Billy Lucci spoke about when he wrote about his Saturday practice.

[OB]

Okay.

[David Nuno]

I didn't get to go to Saturday.

[OB]

All right.

[David Nuno]

So, okay, here's a question. Nothing to do with football, but just because two old guys talking on, you know, the holistic planning. Cool zone. We love making money, by the way.

[OB]

Oh, who doesn't? I need to make more. Yeah.

[David Nuno]

Anyway, I had soccer this weekend. A lot of soccer. Like, a lot a lot.

[OB]

Like World cup thing.

[David Nuno]

Yeah. But with the kids.

[OB]

Yeah.

[David Nuno]

Okay.

[OB]

World Sippy Cup.

[David Nuno]

At what point in your life does sun make you a tired person? For, like, more than a day?

[OB]

Oh, since he was born. No, you mean the actual sun. Oh, okay.

[David Nuno]

I was a fraction of a human being. Yesterday after being in the sun for two straight days.

[OB]

Oh yeah.

[David Nuno]

And I'm like, why am I so zapped?

[OB]

Because the sun just.

[David Nuno]

Do young people get that?

[OB]

Yeah, they do. It's just.

[David Nuno]

Okay.

[OB]

It's, it's. I felt like it takes longer, you know, like when I go out into the sun for a long period of time that night, I typically sleep really, really well.

[David Nuno]

Oh yeah, yeah. Circadian rhythm. We can get into the whole science, but we won't. We'll talk football, shall we?

[OB]

Let's do.

[David Nuno]

So it was all over social media. You know, the school 90 miles away had a guy who made a spectacular catch. Yeah, it was a beautiful catch.

[OB]

And Terry Bussey had it.

[David Nuno]

And then let's take a look at it. Terry Bussey thanks to A and M athletics or the Aggie football Twitter. Look at that beautiful throw.

[OB]

And look he comes down.

[David Nuno]

Brady Hart with the throw.

[OB]

You know what you see guys make spectacular catches often. You know, Odell Beckham Jr. You know those great one handed catches and typically they make this acrobatic catch and they either fall out of bounds or they fall down.

[David Nuno]

Yeah. They don't keep going.

[OB]

Yeah. Terry Bussy made that one handed catch. He brought it down. He's still running. Yeah, that was tremendous. Want to see a lot of that from Terry Bussey this year?

[David Nuno]

I think the timing was great because on Friday he was part of our 25 and 25.

[OB]

Okay.

[David Nuno]

And he is a guy. And I'm just going to tell you guys, look into what Billy Lucci says often. Billy was the first one talking about Cassius Howell. Right. Well before everybody else says it's funny, Billy will put something out that I see on all these other aggregate sites that they're talking about what Billy says.

[OB]

Well, you know why? Because he's the source when it comes to A and M football. Billy says it. It's like coming from the burning bush.

[David Nuno]

But he's been talking about Terry Bussey for quite a while.

[OB]

Yeah.

[David Nuno]

So it was nice to see him on Friday. Talk about Terry Bussey in the way he did when we did 25 and 25. And then see him, you know. And it wasn't just that catch. I was seeing tweets from the other reporters. Billy's write up about how good of a practice he did.

[OB]

I did. I see he's got kind of jacked up.

[David Nuno]

A little more jacked. Yeah.

[OB]

Yeah. So Terry has always had ability. But we gotta. There's this idea that's too prevalent among fans that if you don't just come out and dominate as a freshman, you know, oh, it's a bust. We always got to remember Timpson High School, where he played not a big. You know, it's. No, it's. It's.

[David Nuno]

It's.

[OB]

I don't even know what to compare it to. North Zulch. It's North Zulch High school equivalent. Do they even have a high school at North Zulch? I'm sure they do.

[David Nuno]

But anyway, North Shore High School.

[OB]

And then he played quarterback, and then he came here expecting to play corner back.

[David Nuno]

Yeah.

[OB]

And he got thrust into the wide receiver position that he never played at any level because of injuries. And so it makes sense that give him a couple of years to learn to position and to develop and all these things. And yeah, maybe this is going to be a breakout year for him.

[David Nuno]

Look, and also, I believe towards the end of the jumbo run, development was not as apparent.

[OB]

You think? Yeah.

[David Nuno]

Like, there were certain guys that I expected to. Oh, my God, like, in two years. Watch out.

[OB]

Yeah. Like the King guy.

[David Nuno]

Well, he developed. Just not here. Just saying. He looked pretty good at his preseason game the other day, didn't he?

[OB]

He did.

[David Nuno]

But like you, development is a thing. Not everybody's a finished product. And I'm just trying to think of, like, Trey Zoon. Remember after his freshman sophomore year, people were like, you know, when is he gonna be the guy that we thought? And he ended up being that guy.

[OB]

Yeah. Of course, we found out as freshman sophomore year, he's playing with, like, a torn labrum and a bad knee.

[David Nuno]

Well, I mean, Bussy's had his issues too.

[OB]

Right. So it was like Rick's. We found out he played with a torn labrum. Oh. And he played pretty well. So. Yeah.

[David Nuno]

So development is the thing. Like, if not, why. Why are we doing this? Right. If we're just doing one year Mercenaries. You can go to play for Lane Kiffin, but if you want to come to a program. I feel like I'm doing Coach El program.

[OB]

You want to be good at football

[David Nuno]

and you want to get better each year.

[OB]

Yeah. Come to A and M. It's a real program.

[David Nuno]

It's a real program. America.

[OB]

America starts with A and M. The

[David Nuno]

other thing, another guy that I hope we see develop and I think has developed. Marcel Reed.

[OB]

Oh, yeah. You know, Marcel. I thought he had the breakout year last year. Now it's just build on that and get even better.

[David Nuno]

I keep reading like, you know, Marcel's got to take a step forward.

[OB]

Sure. You want us to take a step

[David Nuno]

Forward, sure, everybody has to take a step forward, but if that's your brain end to be good, he's got to take a step forward. The hell did he do last year?

[OB]

He threw for over 3,000 yards, rushed for almost 500, accounted for something like 30 touchdowns. I don't have the exact number. He had a really strong year.

[David Nuno]

He had a strong year.

[OB]

His development we've talked about is just making some better decisions, taking care of the ball a little bit more. Don't force things that are there. Use your legs.

[David Nuno]

But I think when people say he's got to take a step forward, it's almost like about all parts of his game. If he had the exact season he had last year, but the development is less turnovers.

[OB]

Well, if he has less turnovers, then

[David Nuno]

he has more touchdown.

[OB]

He's going to have more yards, more touchdowns, because six of those turnovers were at the 21 yard line or closer.

[David Nuno]

And towards the end of the year, right.

[OB]

I was, I was living in Austin back in, oh, five when. And people love to disparage him and I get it, but when Vince Young went from a pretty suspect passer to actually throwing for like 3,000 yards. And you know, I saw it up close, the whole thing that what, people can't get better, you know, you are who you are right away and, and that's just such a foolish take that so many. And I do, you know, it's guys in the media, fans. I get it. You know, fans are impatient and sometimes they don't have the best perspective. But in the media, we're supposed to be objective and be able to take a step back and, and understand and take into consideration all the variables, you know, and that understanding guys do get better and can get better. Like Jalen Milroe. There's a guy that got better every year at Alabama. So, yeah, when I, When I hear it from media guys, I'm like, are you. What kind of clown are you? Well, if it's okay, if you say, I don't think he's going to get any better, and you say, well, why not? And then we'll say, okay, we'll see if you're right or not. But when you say, oh, this guy's this and this guy's that when he still has two years of eligibility, I don't get that. I expect more from the media.

[David Nuno]

And I also think it is not a foregone conclusion that every quarterback takes a step forward.

[OB]

That's true.

[David Nuno]

I mean, we brought it up a couple different times on this show. But there are quarterbacks that were highly touted today a year ago that took a step backwards last year.

[OB]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[David Nuno]

Quite a few, actually.

[OB]

Yeah. Lenore Sellers comes to mind.

[David Nuno]

First of all, Kay Klubnick.

[OB]

Kay Clubnick.

[David Nuno]

Right. And these were guys that were being mentioned as Heisman candidates today.

[OB]

I'm not going to say Garrett Nussmeier

[David Nuno]

because he was what you thought he was.

[OB]

Well, we knew that when he was under pressure, he becomes a very average and maybe even below average. And then we knew he had a new offensive line, so. Well, it seems like he's probably going to be under pressure more. But yeah, hey, Johnny Manziel, I mean, he was freaking awesome as a freshman his next year.

[David Nuno]

It was very good.

[OB]

He was great, but he wasn't as good right now. There can be other factors, but I just talked about Lesbia. You know, it can be the people around.

[David Nuno]

Let me ask you this. What if Marcel has a Johnny year one to year two. So let's say last year was Marcel's peak, but he has his drop off is what Johnny did last year. That is not necessarily because the problem with 2013 was the defense. It wasn't the offense.

[OB]

Yeah, yeah. That was the worst defense that I've ever seen in A and M. So

[David Nuno]

if, if that's the. It doesn't have to. Is it linearly? Is that the word I'm looking for? It doesn't have to always go up for the team to go up, I guess is my point. Yeah, the quarterback can have a good year where the numbers maybe don't look as good, but everything else around it is better.

[OB]

Yeah, I've seen that. I don't know if that's going to apply to A and M though. I really don't. I mean, do you. Unless you have just this, this incredible running game and incredible defense, then it doesn't matter as much. I think you're. I think Marcel is going to have to have a good. A big year for A and M to have a big year. But for Marcel to have a big year, it's not just on Marcel. It's on, you know, that old line and that running game.

[David Nuno]

When we say big year, though, 3,500 yards, single digit interceptions. Is that where you're talking?

[OB]

I think the, I think the interceptions is a bigger issue even than include increasing his, his yards. I mean, 3,000 yards, right. You drop, you turn those 12 interceptions to six and he. I think they're gonna be doing great. I think they're gonna have a beat. You know, that that's the improvement that I need to see from Marcel.

[David Nuno]

And here's something I've been hitting for, like, now 10 days in a row, and you probably were part of it when I started talking about it. To me, Marcel's growth is dependent on a couple things. Himself, right. Obviously, he's. He's put in the work. Billy even wrote that he. He just looks better on this, timing routes in these passes.

[OB]

But he's.

[David Nuno]

Yes, he's got to be better because of himself, but the pieces around him have to be better around him because Arch Marcel Lenores, what you just said a moment ago about Garrett Nussmeier, when they face pressure, most quarterbacks aren't as good. Right. So can they protect for him and can they run the ball for him? Because I think when Ruben and Jamarion and the rest of those guys are going, I think it opens up Marcel to be a much more deadly passer.

[OB]

Oh, yeah. And plus. And I don't want to seem, you know, be quicker to take off and, you know, use that incredible ability to run. I think back, and I've said this before, when we're talking about Marcel, if you could take three plays that were nullified by penalty, just three plays, and put them back, this long run for a touchdown against Arkansas.

[David Nuno]

Okay.

[OB]

A long run for a touchdown against South Carolina. Remember, before he completed. And then a touchdown pass that would have iced it against Auburn. Those three plays. If you give him those three plays, he was. He's in New York.

[David Nuno]

Yep.

[OB]

Even with the Texas game, I guarantee you he's in New York. Give him those three plays. So all three of those plays, two were nullified, I think by questionable holding penalties in the past by a guy that wandered downfield needlessly.

[David Nuno]

And it wasn't even that much. Right?

[OB]

No, he's like one yard over, but he didn't even. But so offensive line play, that's always. But Holman Wiggins. What kind of impact is Holman Wiggins? Holman Wiggins, you never know. I mean, I heard some guy at Texas saying, well, Holman Wiggins has never done this, never done that. I'm going to say something nice about Kevin Sumlin. Believe it or not, I was here when A and M's offense and 2002 was stagnant and RC Slocum made the decision.

[David Nuno]

How. How late into the season was that?

[OB]

About midway.

[David Nuno]

Midway.

[OB]

I mean, I don't give or take, but made the decision that Dino Babers would no longer be the offense coordinator and Kevin, someone would. And they opened things up. And eventually, you know, brought in Reggie McNeil, but the offense got better. So who's to say that. And by the way, Kevin, someone had never been an offensive coordinator at that point. Who's to say that Holman Wiggins doesn't come in and his influence makes them even more explosive? I mean, we don't know. We can't take. But to just say, well, this guy's never been an offensive coordinator, so that's going to be a problem. Not necessarily.

[David Nuno]

Well, later on, and maybe if you stick around for the 9 o', clock, we'll do this. Because I want to kind of go through that particular, Particular type of topic, which is doubts versus unknowns. And I think Holman Wiggins, it's an unknown.

[OB]

Right.

[David Nuno]

It's not necessarily a doubt. People automatically jump to. Well, just like the offensive line, like, you can have a doubt about it. Sure. But it's an. It's an unknown right now. It's not a doubt.

[OB]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, there have been times when I've had doubts.

[David Nuno]

Yeah.

[OB]

You know, but I think I kind of believe that under this regime, this Mike Elker regime and the coaches and the Tommy Moffat influence, all those things, I don't think there are going to be many doubts. Like last year, I couldn't even doubt the kicking game last year before it became a problem.

[David Nuno]

But then you started the doubt.

[OB]

But the previous year, Randy bond hit like 80 something percent. So, yeah, I don't know that there's any doubts. There have been other teams I've looked at. I try to. I try to be objective. And I've told you before, and I said I doubt that. Miami quarterback under Tyler Van Dyke.

[David Nuno]

Oh, yeah.

[OB]

I don't believe that at all.

[David Nuno]

Yeah.

[OB]

And he still beat A and M, but not because. Yeah, DJ Durkin's gonna put a freshman cornerback and not try to rush the passer out.

[David Nuno]

OB it's been a week. A week or more. Ten days since you did the show, right?

Had to fly to Denver. So I was in the mountain time zone. And then because of, you know, issues, I was had to fly to Indianapolis. The entire state of Indiana just know it was eastern time zone.

[David Nuno]

I only knew that because we went

[OB]

recently and then back to Austin in the central time zone where I got to drive two more hours home. It was a long day.

[David Nuno]

It was a good day.

[OB]

But. You're back. I'm back.

[David Nuno]

He's back again. Nick, tell us something good.

[Nick Savage]

Well, do you want to get into the topic now or do you want to hold that for later?

[David Nuno]

Let's hold it for 8:35 since it's already 8:19. We'll do it.

[Nick Savage]

That's fine with me. What do I want to get into? Well, to be honest, I thought we were going to get into it there,

[David Nuno]

but just tell me hi or something.

[OB]

Hey.

[Nick Savage]

Hey, David.

[OB]

There you go.

[Nick Savage]

Did you. You know what I saw over the weekend?

[OB]

What?

[David Nuno]

J. Slaviot, the Odyssey?

[Nick Savage]

No, I don't go to movies. Jay Slavioulette got promoted. He's up to double A now, right?

[OB]

Akron up to double A. Rubber ducks.

[Nick Savage]

Yeah, Akron. Rubber ducks. So good for him.

[David Nuno]

What is your disdain with movies?

[Nick Savage]

Me personally?

[David Nuno]

Yeah, I just.

[Nick Savage]

I mean, expensive to go.

[OB]

Yeah.

[Nick Savage]

I don't know. They're not good anymore.

[OB]

If you wait, they're gonna be on television anyway. You don't like the experience now I'll go on occasion.

[Nick Savage]

People talk. People bring their kids, they ruin it. They're on their phones.

[David Nuno]

What's your anti kid stance?

[OB]

Yeah, you better get over that.

[David Nuno]

Have you seen my. But I mean, like, my kids don't talk.

[Nick Savage]

Well, because they're young men and young women talking about kids.

[David Nuno]

We keep them home.

[Nick Savage]

Or people in this town, man, I don't know. They got to work on their movie theater etiquette.

[OB]

How do you know? You never go to the movies.

[Nick Savage]

When I do, it's typically.

[OB]

Oh, so you do go to the

[Nick Savage]

movies Every now and then. OB Every now and then.

[OB]

Me too.

[David Nuno]

Cranky Nick here on a Monday morning.

[OB]

He's the only guy crankier than me.

[David Nuno]

Let's go to the Angry Elephant News and Social Center. Kayla Gaither.

[Kayla Gaither]

Hey, guys.

[David Nuno]

What up? What up?

[Kayla Gaither]

Well, I was on vacation this past week, too, so I came back and I feel like football just started and everything kind of moved on. And I came back and I was like, well, there's a lot to catch up on. So, speaking of football, we did get a text in from Spencer in Houston. He said, elko is a smart guy and knows a lot about football. No reason for me not to trust his hires. He seems too interested in winning to make a hire that he knows wasn't the best option. If it doesn't work out, I don't think he'll wait long to change it. So he's talking about Holman Wiggins there.

[OB]

Yeah, I agree with all that. He's a really smart guy and, you know, he probably feels like. Probably feels like, you know, this Holman Wiggins guy. I see something in him. I believe in the guy. So why not give him. Just everybody think of whoever the greatest offense coordinator in college football is. And you know what? Somebody had to give him a chance.

[David Nuno]

Yep. This is true. This is true. Somebody had to give Lane Kiffin a chance, right?

[OB]

Yeah, somebody.

[David Nuno]

Did you give him a second chance?

[OB]

I think it was Al Davis, but third chance. He's a good coach.

[David Nuno]

Yeah, he's really good.

[OB]

He's going to stab you in the back. Lsu, but he's a good coach.

[David Nuno]

Gator, what else?

[Kayla Gaither]

Well, aside from football, women's soccer starts this week, marking the beginning of the fall sports calendar, which is really exciting because we've been waiting all summer for sports to come back. It's finally coming back this week. Soccer had preseason exhibitions. Last week. They went 30 versus UIW at home. They unfortunately lost to Texas in their exhibition match. But the first regular season game is on Wednesday at 6pm at Rice University. And it'll be Bobby Shuttleworth's first debut as a head coach at Texas A

[David Nuno]

and M. Yes, I'm all in on Bobby.

[OB]

Yeah. He's done some interesting things already, so I'm going to be intrigued to see how that goes. Isn't volleyball getting ready to start their. Aren't they starting practice now?

[Kayla Gaither]

The maroon and white scrimmage is going to be on Tuesday, so coming up really fast.

[David Nuno]

Gaither and Nagley are extremely happy right now.

[Kayla Gaither]

Yes. I can finally, you know, go to press conferences, get some work in. I'm really excited.

[OB]

There's a difference in where you are in your career. We finally get to go to press conferences. Oh, my gosh.

[David Nuno]

Oh, God.

[OB]

Press conference.

[David Nuno]

Hey, OB this true story alert. Where do you think I went to lunch on Thursday?

[OB]

You didn't. You went to 1775.

[David Nuno]

Well, and let me tell you, I feel like a 2 percenter.

[OB]

Tell me about it.

[David Nuno]

Because I show up and they're like, oh, David, Nuno, it's been a minute.

[OB]

Yeah.

[David Nuno]

Because I don't go out to lunch often, you know. Right.

[OB]

Because, you know, and they go, well,

[David Nuno]

we see Olin all the time. Ola brings his family. He brings his uncles. He brings step kids that he doesn't even have. He brings everybody. That's what they said. I don't know how true that is.

[OB]

Well, you know, I've been there a couple times with idoc, Mike.

[David Nuno]

Yeah.

[OB]

And I did take the family there.

[David Nuno]

Yeah. Quinn and Irma went with you.

[OB]

It was like the last place we went to eat in Texas before we took our trip to take our son to Arizona. And, man, what's a better way to leave Texas and say, hey, give me some of that succulent brisket to remember Texas by. And some of those pork ribs. They're amazing.

[David Nuno]

They are amazing.

[OB]

Jalapeno cheese sauce. And you know what we all had, each one of us.

[David Nuno]

You had your own queso.

[OB]

We all had our own queso Mac and cheese. You know what? You know what? That queso. You know why it's so good? Because I say so.

[David Nuno]

Okay, so say so.

[OB]

Yeah.

[David Nuno]

So I went with Ryan from Space City Home Network in Houston, and he was like, yeah, we could share. I was like, no, ain't no sharing, bruh. I did the B R. U h. That's what I did. And he looked at me like, you're 50.

[OB]

I don't get the whole. Call everybody, bruh, bruh, bruh. I'm like, brah, you're more of a

[David Nuno]

cuz guy anyway, right?

[OB]

Just cuz.

[David Nuno]

1775 is the place. The website is 1775 txbq.com 979-492-6241. It is 1775.

[OB]

It is good.

[David Nuno]

And we're back here on Pentax Live. Sorry, I feel like I had bring down the volume here because that song seemed a little bit more.

[OB]

More laid back. Laid back, no shirt, no problem.

[David Nuno]

We got like three weeks till the first game. We got time.

[OB]

I bet that no shirt part of that song, that's probably your favorite part.

[David Nuno]

I don't like when other people don't wear shirt. Well, it depends on the people. But yeah, you know, dudes, put your shirt on, bro.

[OB]

Yeah, I'm. People say that to me all the time.

[David Nuno]

Put your shirt back.

[OB]

Even when I have a shirt on,

[David Nuno]

put another one on.

[OB]

Actually, you know what? I went to the pool in Sedona and I took. First of all, I went down there with a sleeve with a swim shirt on. I don't want to offend people. And then there's. Believe it or not, there were people out there with worse bodies than mine. So I didn't care.

[David Nuno]

So, you know, I'm not here to judge bodies. I'm just here to talk football.

[OB]

I'm like the Kampala, the Ugandan warrior from the old. Remember him from wrestling?

[David Nuno]

Oh, Kamala, the Ugandan mama.

[OB]

Yeah, yeah, the Uganda giant slapping his big stomach before he fought. Let's go. Let's get this guy.

[David Nuno]

Well, we're going to slap. Nevermind. 25 and 25 presented by Paragon Financial Advisors and Aggie owned independent fee only fiduciary firm serving families and business owners nationwide. Visit paragon-adv.com and number 15 on the list, ladies and gentlemen, is TJ Searcy.

[OB]

Is he still number 18 in your program? Didn't he wear. I thought he wore 18 last year, but maybe you didn't. I can't remember.

[David Nuno]

Anyway, I'm not good with numbers anymore, tj.

[OB]

Yeah, they change so often. TJ Searcy is one of those guys that. How about that steel trap, tj? First of all, he's. Seems like everybody in the defensive line might have an initial. You know, you got TJ and DJ

[David Nuno]

and maybe CJ and Marco Jones.

[OB]

Mj, Just calling mj. But TJ is like one of those guys that get underappreciated because he first plays the run.

[David Nuno]

Yeah.

[OB]

As a defensive end and you always want to look at defense and. Yeah, but how many sacks did he get? Well, this is true. But he plays the run so well.

[David Nuno]

And that was a problem for A and M at times last year, stopping the run, was it not?

[OB]

It could be. Yeah, but I thought that he. I mean, he's just a good. It's kind of like when A and M had a pretty decent defense. Pretty good in 2012. Right. And you had everybody focused on DeMontrey Moore. Rightly so. You know, he was this big pass rusher, and you almost forgot that Julian Obioha was doing a really good job on the other side setting that. That edge. And that's what TJ Searcy can do. And he can get back in the backfield and get a sack here and there, and he'll get some tackles for loss, but he's just one of those really good players that sometimes get overlooked. He does his role, and he does his role really well.

[David Nuno]

Can he go from dependable to disruptive? And he's got the. What is he, six, five? The guy's huge. He's a mammoth of a human being. And if he makes a jump, the entire defensive line goes from, you know, we. We talked about the unknowns to doubts. That is. I still think it's an unknown. It's definitely not a doubt. But that unknown becomes less unknown.

[OB]

Well, I think if T.J. cersei makes a jump, that is absolutely. That is gravy. That is icing on the cake because I'll. If TJ Cersei gives me this year what he gave me last year, I'm good with it. He was really good in his role. You know, we're watching some video of him. I know this doesn't work well on. On radio, but he doesn't get a sack. But he forces a bad throw. A bad throw. I mean, he just. He's just a good football player.

[David Nuno]

He brings experience, continuity. He can set the edge. As you. You spoke about a moment ago. Physicality, leadership. Has a lot of SEC experience. The guy. The guy brings everything you want from a veteran on your defensive life.

[OB]

Yeah. You know, when I was a. When I was a young man, you know my favorite protein.

[David Nuno]

Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys. I knew that.

[OB]

So there, There was their two ends was guy named Harvey Martin and then Too Tall Jones and Two Doll Jones was actually the, The. The set the edge guy.

[David Nuno]

Yeah.

[OB]

And Harvey Martin was the sack guy. But no one ever. And then one year, I mean, they were, you know, so everybody focused on Harvey Martin. But one year, Two Tall Jones decided to not play and he was going to box. And they weren't as good. People ran on them. And that was the year that Joe Montana went. Yeah, but they just. They were good still. They weren't as good as good. You need that guy on the other, that steady guy that can just again, play the run, give you some pass rush. But like I said, if TJ Searcy gives me this year just what he gave me last year, thank you. But if he does like you suggested, even more, you know, then. Then look for him to be, you know, drafted fourth or fifth round.

[David Nuno]

[OB]

at radioagiland.com we're back here on Tech

[David Nuno]

Sacks Live, presented by David Gardner. The Go Hour presented by the warehouse at CC Creations. OB Nick's got a topic for us, so we'll go there to Nick behind the glass. Nick, how did you phrase your question?

[Nick Savage]

Yeah. So we talk all off season long, right? About May. Well, maybe like you said earlier, talking about Holeman Muggins. Maybe it'll be this, maybe it'll be that. Maybe Marcel takes a step. Well, what are your for sures? Like, what are you for sure about? About maybe Texas. Just one for A and M. Maybe there's a couple for A and m. And maybe me. One college football sec. You're for sure that this will happen in 2026?

[David Nuno]

I'm for sure. This wide receiver room is freaking deep.

[OB]

Yeah. Like, I'm for sure that. That Mario Craver is probably. Let's see. I mean, it's easy to say he's going to be one of the best receivers in the. In the sec, but let's.

[David Nuno]

Three bets. I'm trying to.

[OB]

I'm trying to. Like, I'm for sure he's going to get without an Injury, he's going to get at least say, 800 yards. At least he had last year. He's over 900.

[David Nuno]

Yeah.

[OB]

So, you know, he's just that explosive. You know, I, I, and quite frankly, I'm, I'm again, bannie Andrew. I'm, I'm for sure that Marcel Reed's going to account for, you know, at least 3,500 yards. Yeah, I believe he's, I mean, he's, it's, it's astounding to me how many people are going to, you know, just, just dismiss everything he did last year and then I'm, I shouldn't be. But I'm for sure A and M is going to get more interceptions this year. Yeah. Well, it's a low bar. Right.

[David Nuno]

Let's kind of go through the for sure versus I don't know. Okay. For sure. Marcel Reed is the guy. Okay. I'm sure about that. I am sure the wide receiver room is elite. I am sure of that. I am sure the secondary, I don't know if I'm sure. I can for sure say they'll be elite. They will be in the upper tier of the sec.

[OB]

Okay.

[David Nuno]

Okay. I am for sure about those three. And they might, they might be elite. They might be elite. Right.

[OB]

I mean, they were, I think, third in the SEC in past defense last year, I think.

[David Nuno]

Right. But when I think if you lead, I think I put it all together. The interception with that. Right. So I am sure about that.

[Nick Savage]

Where?

[David Nuno]

I am not sure. I am not sure about the run defense.

[OB]

Fair.

[David Nuno]

Okay. I'm not sure. I feel like it's going to be better. I'm not sure about the linebackers. I feel good about the linebackers.

[OB]

Well, that kind of goes in with the run defense.

[David Nuno]

Right. But I'm not because of.

[OB]

Even though linebackers had more interceptions than DBs last year.

[David Nuno]

Well, this is true. But because there are young guys having to step into a new role or new guys having this. I am not for sure.

[OB]

Right. I feel really good about Ray Koni.

[David Nuno]

I feel really good about him, obviously. I feel great about Damian Sanford.

[OB]

Yeah.

[David Nuno]

Right. And I feel really good about Noah McHale. I feel really good about a Jordan Lockhart. There's a lot of guys in that room. The young guys I feel really good about, but I'm not for sure.

[OB]

Yeah, that's fair.

[David Nuno]

Offensive line, I am not for sure. Individually, I am sure that those are. There's a lot of talent in that room.

[OB]

Yeah.

[David Nuno]

But I am not for sure they're going to be in the Same tier as they were last year. I'm not for sure.

[OB]

I hope. Yeah. I am skeptical that they can be as good as they were last year, especially on the left side.

[David Nuno]

Yeah.

[OB]

Right. I think they can be as good or better on the right side, but you don't necessarily have to be as good as you were last year. You just got to be good.

[David Nuno]

Yeah. Are you sure about the running game?

[OB]

No. Because that goes right back to the offensive line. You know, I don't care how good your running back is. If you don't got. If you can't block for him, he's not, you know, he's going to have trouble. I'm for sure they have talent at the. In the offensive line because they're not going to bring in guys that can't play.

[David Nuno]

They have SEC talent.

[OB]

Yeah.

[David Nuno]

I am not sure the tight end room will be better. That doesn't mean. I don't think they'll be better. I think they'll be better. I am not sure.

[OB]

Yeah.

[David Nuno]

And how do you say they'll be better when you had Nate Borkisher just do what he did last year?

[OB]

You know, here's what I think they have, especially with Houston Thomas. They may not even play that much. I don't know. I don't know. I saw some video. He looked pretty good. But I think Houston Thomas gives you something you haven't had in a while.

[David Nuno]

Legitimate tight end.

[OB]

I'm talking about a guy that catches it, takes it upfield. Like I can remember Theo against LSU catching a ball and he just out because he's bigger than the. Than the corner or whoever was. And he's just kind of dragged the guy to the. For first down. I think you have guys that can catch it and then run with it. Kind of Sternberger as that, or even Widemeyer, the last guy that I saw tight end I thought could catch it and really run with it. Is it Oklahoma State now? The kid from Dickinson? Not Widemere, the guy.

[David Nuno]

Oh, yeah.

[OB]

Green.

[David Nuno]

Donovan Green.

[OB]

Because I can remember against Arkansas, him catching on and taking off down the sideline. I think you have that. That maybe you didn't have last year.

[David Nuno]

I am. I think. I'm sure the kicking game will be better. But I say the word think, but I think the kicking game will be better.

[OB]

I'll go way out on limb and say, yeah, it's going to be better.

[David Nuno]

I think they're going to be. And I'm really impressed with David Orlando. Just talking to him a little bit like he is. There's. I Believe that there's a. There's a line of confidence and cocky. He is not on the cocky side. He is confident in his approach. And I believe when you have an approach, when you have a system that works for you, that travels in any walk of life and I believe if you believe in your formula, you will get through those hard times.

[OB]

Well, I hope so. You know what I believe in? I believe in the fact that he's had two years back to back in which he hit over about over 83 or more percent in two years, you said. I feel like I'm cracking on the guy and I really like him. But you sit down and have a conversation with Randy Bond and you're gonna be really impressed.

[David Nuno]

Yeah.

[OB]

Because he's crazy smart and all, the kid.

[David Nuno]

Yeah.

[OB]

But he had a bad year.

[David Nuno]

He did. He would tell you that, right?

[OB]

Yeah. And you know, maybe not everything's on them. You know, maybe A and M's got to do a better job of blocking on those kicks. He had a couple that were blocked and you say, oh, well, the trajectory was too low and okay, but maybe if they've been blocked back, they don't get in. I don't know. Yeah, I've. I feel really good. I'm for sure. I'm for sure A and M is going to have a better kicking game. We only had 60, what was like 63%, maybe a little bit higher than 65%. That's, that's unacceptable.

[David Nuno]

I am for sure. Actually, I'm not for sure, but just for the sake of radio, I am for sure that a nine win team gets into the SEC championship game this year. I just think, like for instance, Texas, everybody's preseason top three best in the sec, their schedule is amongst the hardest in the league today. I know that things can change, right? What do they have eight of the top 25 teams on their schedule? I believe it is. Plus, you know, they host number one or two. Whatever. What is Ohio State in their most recent poll? Two, Whatever they are. So they're gonna have to earn it.

[Nick Savage]

Yeah. Number one in the coaches poll.

[David Nuno]

Number one in the coaches poll. Thank you. So they're going to have to earn it. And I just think that these teams that there were so many teams that were. How many teams did we have? 11 and one last year?

[OB]

Three, I guess. Yeah. Because A and M didn't get in.

[David Nuno]

I think Ole Miss, A and M And Alabama were 11 and 1, right? In Georgia.

[OB]

Yeah, I think so.

[David Nuno]

Yeah. So, like, I don't think that's going to be the case this year, especially with the nine game SEC schedule. I.

[OB]

You might be right. I'm going to be skeptical that a 9.3team is going to get in. But you know, you might be right. It's going to happen someday. Might be.

[David Nuno]

It almost happened in 24.

[OB]

Should have happened. It might be. It might be this year. Yeah. But like you just said, I just saw a year when an 11. 1 team didn't get in. Yeah. So I'm not ready to go. Yeah. I'm going to go from 11. One can't get into nine and three does got a. Got to see that happen before. I believe it's going to. Might be.

[David Nuno]

Might be anything. You are for sure on in the sec.

[OB]

Gosh, you know, I'm for sure Georgia is going to play really strong defense because that's what Georgia does. You know, there's so many, you know, even the good teams, there's so much like we expect Ole Miss to be. I'm not Ole Miss. LSU to be so much improved with Lane Kiffin. It's funny because with my kid I'm listening to the Matt Moscona.

[David Nuno]

Yeah.

[OB]

Because we're driving and so he's always finding, you know, he's got to keep himself busy and interesting. I'm having the second. Secondhand listen to Matt Moscone. Yeah. And there's no reason. And I like Matt, but there's no reason to play this season because Ellis usually winning the national championship.

[David Nuno]

Is Matt pretty high on?

[OB]

Yeah. I mean, well, he's. He's breaking down the skit. The roster and everybody is great. You know, I mean everybody. This guy was a five star and this guy and this. I'm like, same thing last year. And I get it. You know, he's got a pill to his audience and maybe he really believes all that. But what am I for sure about with. With. You know, Lane Kiffin always finds a good receiver. Good receivers. Right. Whether it's Trey Moore. So I guess they got that. I don't know. But even when I look at say Ole Miss, you know, it's as good as Trinidad Chambers is.

[Kayla Gaither]

But.

[OB]

But is he going to be as good without Lane Kiffin there for most of the year?

[David Nuno]

Those are questions that have to be answered.

[OB]

So even the good teams, you know, I think Georgia. Do they have. Do they have good receivers? And if you can just load up on that running game, are they going to be. Are they going to run like they had before? And I don't know that they have elite running backs. I think they're great on defense. That's the only for sure I can really come up with.

[David Nuno]

So the break here.

[OB]

Yeah.

[David Nuno]

Anyway, so I've got to come up with something good for TJ if it comes to that. So maybe don't say it on the air. Well, if he's listening, he'll know dj so it doesn't matter.

[Kayla Gaither]

Can't say I have.

[OB]

How about you ever had a Mickey's 40? You mean I don't know what Mickey's 40 is?

[David Nuno]

40 ounce.

[OB]

You know, I've had some Mad Dog 2020. And that 2020 equals 40.

[David Nuno]

Yes, it does. You know what Mad Dog 2020 is?

[Kayla Gaither]

I've heard of it. My parents have talked about it.

[David Nuno]

Yeah, I think it should try Logan. David. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

[OB]

O.

[David Nuno]

All right, what do you have for us to close out the hour?

[Kayla Gaither]

Well, I was listening to the press conference that ABR and Julio Humphrey did over the weekend. Something that stood out to me. What you guys were talking about earlier, ABR said about Marcel, he said he's been more poised on how he plays the quarterback position. He's calmed down. He's taken a step back and is playing his game of football. I thought it was interesting because y' all said, you know, taking a next step means that he makes better decisions on the field. So I thought it was interesting that ABR is noticing.

[OB]

So ABR is telling us that Marcel will take a step forward by taking a step back. Yeah.

[Kayla Gaither]

There we go.

[David Nuno]

So for you, do you remember your first month doing the social center?

[Kayla Gaither]

Yeah.

[David Nuno]

Did it feel like things were going a little faster?

[Kayla Gaither]

Definitely. I think when I was sitting here, it kind of felt like, what do I do next?

[David Nuno]

Right.

[Kayla Gaither]

You know, but now that I'm sitting here, it's very slow, calm, easy.

[David Nuno]

This is year two football for you or year one?

[Kayla Gaither]

This will be my first fall.

[David Nuno]

That's right, because you started in the spring.

[Kayla Gaither]

Yes, I started in the spring.

[David Nuno]

So can you imagine the difference in basically your second go around?

[Kayla Gaither]

Yeah. I mean, I feel like now it's going to be a lot easier for me to be in.

[David Nuno]

Just like Marcel. We'll hit a break. We'll do an extended go hour here. When we come back, it's next act live.
