Here's some shameless self promotion. I don't know how many people are aware that I am a producer at ESPN 97.5 - "The Ticket" but just wanted to let you know we are going to have a couple of guests on tomorrow mornings show. "The Front Page" with Fred Faour and Matt Dean airs every Saturday and Sunday morning from 8am to 10am Tomorrow morning Texans General Manager Rick Smith will be joining us at 8:05 to talk about the Texans training camp and upcoming season. At 9:30 Texas A&M Head Football Coach Mike Sherman will be joining us to talk about the Aggies upcoming season as players report to campus on Sunday for the first workout of fall camp on Monday. For all of those people out of town you can stream our show at 975theticket.com That is all, have a great weekend.
Coach Sherman gave a lot of insight I can't recap the whole interview here but I will try to remember as much that we talked about. Said it wasn't fair to just name McGee the starter because he hasn't run Sherman's offense so he opened it up for competition. I'd bank on Johnson being the starter though. Said he wouldn't rotate QBs on different series but seemed open to playing the hot hand so to speak. Talked about returning to the college ranks and the tradition at A&M and how everyone has big expectations for them this year but he is trying to build up a program with his guys. Talked about moving Lane to FB said he needed to flat out lose weight (made me laugh for his honesty) to play RB and that by putting Lane at FB along with Mike (Goodson) at RB will give them a great backfield. Also got his take on the Brett Favre issue. He said its really sad that something like this has been going on but that in a couple of years no one will remember and all will be well. I'll bump this thread up when we have the podcast online. APS
