0:00.0	Brandon Marcello is with us. Welcome in, Brandon. How are you today, friend?
0:04.5	Hey, what's up, guys? Not much. Brandon with us on the Alexander Shinar trial attorney's
0:09.2	hotline. My colleagues here, to my left, Lance and Jim, just both agreed, and I guess I agree to,
0:15.2	so I'm going to ask you, they both agreed that after last night, assuming Texas Tech doesn't
0:20.0	drop one of these
0:20.8	into the regular season games that they become this year's SMU, they play their conference

You know, I don't think that's going to happen. I think they're going to, I think they're just going to win out and win the Big 12 championship game. But, yeah, I think so, too.
