GatorCountry brings you a new podcast as we preview the Florida Gators road game against Texas A&M on Saturday.
Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre are joined by Ryan Brauninger of TexAgs as he tells us what to expect from Texas A&M on Saturday.
Andrew and Nick also breakdown what Dan Mullen had to say on Monday about the Gators performance last Saturday.
TRANSCRIPT:
Andrew:​What’s up, Gator Country? Your man, Andrew Spivey, here with Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, we’re here and getting ready for Florida-Texas A&M out at Kyle Field, or should we call it the Kyle Trask field?
Nick:​Kyle Trask-Pitts Field. Good story. Good story to come out on a Monday. College football is just crazy. If you missed the story on Monday, Kyle Trask told us that his parents named him Kyle after Kyle Field, because both of him parents went to Texas A&M.
Andrew:​Interesting. When you think about all the storylines in the game, and that’s a good one. Texas kid. It has tobe special for Trask, and to be the star quarterback and the guy who is coming in with one of the top teams in the country. Then Texas and Texas A&M both passed on him, didn’t even show interest in him. Has to be a special moment for Trask on Saturday, when he goes out to Aggie land.
Nick:​I’m sure Ryan Brauninger, who we’ll have on in a minute will tell you. He’s an Aggie. I don’t think Kyle’s parents would have allowed him to go to Texas, even if they had offered.
Andrew:​Yeah. We’ll be joined by Ryan Brauninger here in a minute from TexAgs to get his thoughts on the game. We got to ask him about what’s going on with Jimbo and how that contract’s working out. We’ll get his thoughts on that, and then you and I will come back, and we’ll talk about what Dan Mullen had to say on Monday. He is still very coy on injuries.
Nick:​Little coy.
Andrew:​But he did say he will announce breaking long season-ending injuries. I guess we got somewhere, right?
Nick:​Yeah. That was kind of unprompted too. No one even asked him about it.
Andrew:​Somebody get on his case behind the scenes and say, listen, you got to be nice to these guys?
Nick:​Maybe. Maybe that was Megan. Saban always does that. He snaps at the media, and then he comes back the next day and is like, Miss Terry told me I need to be nicer to you guys, so I’m apologizing for yelling and that.
Andrew:​Miss Megan is the one that’s, let’s do this and be nice.
Nick:​Maybe.
Andrew:​She’s the, what’s the word I’m looking for? She’sthe voice of reason. There we go. That’s it. She’s the voice of reason behind all the commotion. Let’s go to Brauninger here. We’ll talk to him, get his thoughts on this game, get his breakdown. I’ll be honest. I know a little bit about Texas A&M, but not a ton. We’ll get his thoughts on this game, and then you and I will come back, and we’ll finish it up and talk about what Dan Mullen had to say.
Nick:​Let’s do it.
Andrew:​What’s up, Gator Country? We’re back. We’rewith our man, Ryan Brauninger, of TexAgs. Ryan, what’s up? How are things going out in Aggie land?
Ryan:​What’s up? I feel like I haven’t talked to you guys about actual football stuff on a podcast in, I guess since Kevin Sumlin was the head coach in College Station, and A&M was getting ready to go down to Gainesville, and y’all wore those heinous jerseys, all green jerseys. There’s been quite a few changes, I think, on both sides of this deal, but it’s always good to talk to you guys, outside of National Signing Day and recruiting stuff. Welcoming the Gators back to College Station.
Andrew:​We have to ask you, last week we were talking to our good friend Chris Clark about everything going on with Will Muschamp, how are things going with Jimbo? Is everything all hunky-dory out there? Are people getting a little upset about things?
Ryan:​I don’t think anybody’s worried.
