The pride, passion and pageantry of college football lives here.

This is the Paul Pinebom Show, our two podcast.

This might be college football, heaven hot.

We played it early in the show, Mike Elko, talking about a politician and a somebody who talks fast and a b-scer and he's saying

that's not what I'm doing here at A&M.

Almost everyone, myself included, said that we felt he was talking about Jimbo Fisher.

Who else could it have been?

Mike Elko went on Isle One to try to clean that up earlier today.

You know, in the post game I was asked to kind of give a subnopsis on how we sell culture to our program.

In doing so, I made a statement that seemed like a very benign statement that somehow managed to be taken as a shot directly at people.

You guys gave me multiple opportunities in

nine months to take shots at people and I've never done it. I have nothing but

respect for Coach Fisher. I've said nothing but positive things about Coach

Fisher.

I'm the head coach at Texas A&M because of Coach Fisher.

I appreciate who he is, everything that he's done, and for anybody in the media to think

that that was what I was doing post LSU is I mean it's

assign and for it to be about any other head coach who gave me an opportunity and

hired me and that's not who I am I've never been that person and it's it's ridiculous, but it is what it is.

So I wanted to make sure that everybody knows I wasn't talking to anybody directly.

So from there, I'll open it up to questions.

Down front, Brett.
