What's going on? We're cruising into Week 10 of the college football season.

Auburn coming off a bye week, they welcome Texas A&M to Jordan-Hare Stadium

Both teams 5-3 coming into this one and we're gonna welcome in Ben Baby

from the Dallas Morning News to talk a little bit more about Texas A&M.

Let's start -- let's hit the rewind button. This past week a disappointing

loss to Mississippi State. It's been a year of ups and downs for

this Texas A&M team, kind of like Auburn. Overall what was your biggest takeaway

from this football game against Mississippi State especially on the

offensive side of the football? You know I think the biggest thing is that you

know A&M came into that Mississippi State game having won three in a row but

it was really the same team that ended up -- all the same things that ailed them

in that winning streak ended up being what cost them against Mississippi State

Really just the inability to you know stop teams -- opposing teams'

passing attacks. And then on the flip side, being able to score touchdowns in all

SEC games. This year A&M's failed to score more than two offensive touchdowns of

regulation. And you know, that you can get away with that if your defense is

playing really well, but like we saw against Mississippi State, if you aren't

able to contain the other team and you've got to put up points that becomes

problematic. So that's something that A&M definitely needs to fix moving forward

and starting this weekend against Auburn. Yes so since 2012 when Texas A&M came

into the SEC there's 3-0 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. So my question for

you coming into this matchup, what will be a big key for victory for Texas A&M to get

the win against Auburn? You know number one they've got to be able to contain

Jarrett Stidham. I know that that Auburn offense is kind of struggling at

times and hasn't been what Auburn fans wanted to look like, but the same can be

said for South Carolina and Mississippi State and both their

quarterbacks ended up finding success against the Aggies secondary.

Stidham is definitely a capable quarterback. A lot of folks around here

remember what it was like watching him carve up defenses when he was at

Stephenville and then whenever he went to Baylor there was a lot of promise

still around what he'd be able to do and I still think he's a really

good quarterback. And one Auburn finds the best way to use him around

the current personnel I think Auburn will have a

pretty good offense. And A&M's gonna have to be able to contain him. And then on

the offensive side of the ball A&M's got to contain Auburn's

pass rush. One of the league leaders in team sacks and tackles for loss.

A&M's gonna have a backup guard on the starting lineup in addition to already

having a young offensive line. And A&M leads the SEC in sacks allowed by a mile

so that could be a really big matchup to watch on Saturday. OK so as we enter

into the final stretch of the season here in the month of November, you

know Texas A&M still has up quite a few matchups. They've got Ole Miss, they got to

go up against LSU and a feisty UAB team that has performed well in the

Conference USA. Overall when you look at the body of work that Jimbo Fisher has

put together as the head coach in his first season at College Station what's

the overall consensus and the thoughts from the fan base thus far and really

projecting forward what really needs to happen this month for you know fans to

kind of have a good taste in their mouth, a good feel as they move forward?

You know I think it really depends on what happens with these next few games one of

the reasons that loss to Mississippi State was so frustrating is because it

was a thorn in their side under the last few years under Kevin Sumlin and you

hope that when you got a guy like Jimbo Fisher he'd be able to you know

alleviate kind of some of those those old -- or exorcise some of

those old demons. And on Saturday it just wasn't the case. Mississippi State

just ended up being a really tough matchup for A&M. you know I still think if they

end up going to you know if they finish 7-5 I think fans will be a

little frustrated given how how well they started the year I think if you get

to 8-4, which I thought at the beginning of the year would be a very

good season first year for Jimbo, I think fans will be happy especially if you're

able to knock off LSU potentially at home which is gonna be a

big ask given how well that defense has played all year. But you know I think

winning on Saturday and beating Ole Miss would definitely go a long way

for fans feeling good about what happened at the end of the year. You know

ultimately I think A&M should -- if they finished their final three SEC games

with a 2-1 record I think fans will be really happy about what happened

this year and be optimistic moving forward under the rest of

Fisher's tenure. All right thanks so much he's Ben Baby, Dallas Morning News.

NFL Protests Stir Culture War For Voters In Southeastern Texas | NPR - Duration: 9:47.

DAVID GREENE: In Houston, Texas —

maybe more than most places — football looms large.

And so it is no surprise that NFL protests

during the national anthem have spilled into daily life.

RONNIE MITCHEM: I told the whole team exactly what would happen if they did kneel.

JOHN BARRETT: People of color have been saying they have been mistreated for years.

Police brutality — now people are talking about it.

INDIA LANDRY: It's going to take time, but eventually it'll change things.

GREENE: And of course, President Trump himself continues to weigh in.

TRUMP: Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners —

when somebody disrespects our flag —

to say, "Get that son of a b**** off the field right now.

Out! He's fired. He's fired!"

What began as protests against racial injustice

has morphed into a culture war.

It's messy. It's personal.

And in many ways, it's about what it means

for people of many races, backgrounds and politics to share the symbol of the American flag.

Just outside Houston, a highway divides two small towns:

one largely black, the other largely white.

Ronnie Mitchem is a pastor in Crosby, Texas,

and behind his church is the field where he coached a small but proud home-school football team.

Last year, Mitchem told his players that if they wanted to protest,

they could do it anytime, except during the anthem at their games.

And still, two of his players — both African-American — defied him,

and he then kicked them off the team.

The ensuing media coverage, the controversy, a few graduations —

resulted in Mitchem disbanding the football program altogether.

How painful was that for you, to watch your season unravel like that?

MITCHEM: I'd known my two players who knelt for two seasons.

One of them had been at my house, spent the night many times.

Him and my son were good friends.

This was a kid who actually on my birthday of 2017 wrote on Twitter:

"To the best coach you could ever have." Or "ask for."

You know, it was probably one of the ...

I know to other people it doesn't seem much, but to me

it was just one of the hardest moments of my life.

It broke my heart that they did that, because I thought we had an agreement.

Second of all, I knew that things were never going to be the same.

GREENE: So you brought up the whole kneeling question with them.

MITCHEM: Yeah, I talked with them about it and

I said, "Actually, you know the issue with the kneeling is

that it's disrespectful to those men and women who serve.

First of all, it's disrespectful to your country,

because you live in the greatest country on the face of the earth.

You're blessed already to be born an American.

So you've got a blessing." I said and then,

"You're looking at these men who have died and give everything for you and sacrificed.

They didn't have a life.

They were 18 years old just like some of you, and they died on a beach somewhere.

Never had the privilege to have a wife or kid or family."

And I said also, because you know it seemed to be about color to some extent and race.

I said that, "You know, there were white men who fought for the national anthem,

I mean for the flag, who fought to free slaves.

So when everybody wants to get you in this debate,

understand there were men who died, who were white, to free slaves.

So you know, we're not going to do this."

And my point was we're just going to show respect, and I expect that out of you.

GREENE: You said that you have taught these young men respect and that that's so important to you.

You know these two players have talked about that they felt —

not that they were disrespecting the flag —

they wanted to join a movement to speak out about how African-Americans are treated in this country.

Wouldn't it be the ultimate show of respect to them

or you to put your personal views about flag and country — as strong as they are — aside

to let them do something that is so important to them?

MITCHEM: Not when it comes to disrespecting my country. No.

I find it offensive.

I love those two boys, but if they love me in return and showed respect ...

I have rules. They know my rules.

You don't get respect by showing disrespect.

Because if you lose that symbol of America,

then what draws all of us — black, white, Hispanic, everybody — together.

Then, I mean, we're losing the symbol that should represent all of us.

And so disrespecting it — to me, it's the way I felt —

is just tearing that down in our society.

GREENE: Just across the highway from Crosby sits Barrett Station.

And that is where we met John Barrett.

He's the great-grandson of the freed slave who founded this town.

John Barrett maintains the estate, and he hosted us in his family museum.

Before we turned the microphones on, you were telling me a story about two girls,

little girls who visited your family's estate. Can you tell me that again?

BARRETT: Yeah. My cousin was throwing a festival.

They were on the opposite side of the compound, and they were looking over —

because when you look over from over there, and you see the house, it's just beautiful.

And they basically said amongst themselves:

They couldn't believe that these white people allowed all of these black people here.

And I just paused and looked at them for a second,

and I thought, "Oh, my God. We've got so far to go."

GREENE: What role does this moment play in that journey?

BARRETT: This moment right now is exposing the truth.

It's showing you that these issues really are real.

And the protest that Colin has brought about ...

I have an issue with him taking a knee. The knee is submissive.

There's nothing submissive about this. He should stand with his fist in the air.

GREENE: Colin Kaepernick and others, you're saying?

BARRETT: Yes. So he took it a step further and became submissive.

And people have an issue with that.

And that just tells you when you hear someone saying,

"Oh, he's being unpatriotic" or whatever. "He's disrespecting the flag" or whatever.

Man, he's taking a knee.

When you pray, you get on your knees.

People of color have been saying they've been mistreated for years, and people dismiss it.

"Oh, you're pulling the race card."

"Oh, that's really not happening. Oh, this. Oh, that."

Well, it did.

I mean, how many more episodes do we need?

GREENE: And are you saying that the racism that still exists in our country needed to be exposed?

BARRETT: And our president couldn't have done a better job.

I commend him for it. He pulled the cover off of all of it.

He did.

I thank him.

GREENE: He very famously came out and called NFL players who were protesting SOBs.

BARRETT: Honestly, it was trying ... it was dying out.

And when he di that, he stirred it back up.

GREENE: Are you glad that he stirred it back up?

Well, he's bringing — and maybe that was secretly his plan —

he's bringing issues back to the forefront.

GREENE: But you said you didn't necessarily like ...

BARRETT: I didn't like his choice of words, but by him doing that

he stirred it up, brought it back and now we have to deal with it.

GREENE: So is two years enough and now it's time to move on

to the next phase of what you're talking about, or do you want Trump to keep stirring this?

BARRETT: I don't want the stirring to continue.

No, I don't want the stirring to continue at all.

I think we need to come center now.

I think our president needs to bring his center now.

Now that he's done it and shown it, he needs to become a uniter.

GREENE: Do you see that happening?

BARRETT: He could do it.

GREENE: Do you see Donald Trump doing it?

BARRETT: I would like for him to do it.

I would like ... that would be a wonderful thing.

I would love to see him become a uniter now.

He's shown us. Now fix us.

GREENE: You really can't visit Texas on a Friday night without finding a football game, right?

I was in the stands here with India Landry,

who — as a sixth-grader, six years ago — started protesting police violence

by staying seated during the Pledge of Allegiance at school.

Her gesture took on new dimensions when NFL players began protesting in 2016,

and during her senior year she was expelled for not standing for the pledge.

So no one kneeled tonight?

LANDRY: No one kneeled. No, no one kneeled tonight.

GREENE: What do you think of that? Do you ...

LANDRY: I'm not against it. I wouldn't do it. I would kneel.

GREENE: You would kneel? If you were out there?

LANDRY: Mmm hmm.

GREENE: In just a few weeks, India is going to be coming off the sidelines.

She's going to vote for the very first time.

LANDRY: I remember being younger and like "I wish I could vote."

And now I'm able to. It matters most now, probably more than ever.

Texas Dems panic as straight ticket option changes their vote to Cruz - Duration: 6:38.

Some malfunctioning voting machines in Texas are resulting in Democrats voting for Republican Sen

Ted Cruz if they cast their ballot for a straight, party line ticket and don't correct it before hitting the red vote button

The glitch effects the Hart Intercivic eSlate voting machines, which are used in 78 of the 254 counties in the state, and could cost Democratic candidate Beto O'Rourke votes as he tried to defeat Cruz in an election that could decide which party control the Senate

 Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos put the fault on the voter and not the machine, saying the error occurs when a voter takes action before the machine 'has finished rendering all the choices resulting from the voter's straight-party choice

' Pablos said in a statement his office has released detailed instructions on how to use the machine when voting and added it's important for voters to know the machines are not purposely changing votes

'It is important for all voters in the 78 Texas counties utilizing the Hart Intercivic eSlate to understand that the voting machines are not malfunctioning, nor are they arbitrarily 'switching' the choices of voters who cast a straight-party ballot,' he said

Pablos also cautioned about spreading alarm about the situation. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next THREE migrant caravans continue their march through southern

Trump approval rating falls four points to 40 per cent after. 'America is stronger than the acts of a depraved bigot and

Saudi arms deal Trump claimed will create 500,000 jobs will. Share this article Share 764 shares 'Moreover, the Secretary of State's office has observed a disturbing trend where misinformation is being spread regarding the scale and the impact of these reported instances

This has the potential consequence of raising unnecessary alarm about the integrity of Texas' voting systems and discouraging eligible Texas voters from casting their ballots,' he said

For Republican voters choosing the party line ballot option, the glitch can result in no vote being cast in the competitive Senate race, where Cruz led O'Rourke by five points in the latest poll

Cruz is in the political battle of his life as he tries to hang on to his Senate seat from O'Rouke, an up-and-coming Democratic star who has harnessed the power of social media to uplift his campaign and raise millions of dollars

The incumbent Cruz has brought in GOP heavy weights to help save his seat, including President Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr

Early voting has begun in the state and the secretary of state advised voters to be patient when casting their ballot to help avoid any error

'When voting a straight-party ballot, wait at least 3-5 seconds for all choices to be rendered on the eSlate voting machines

Counties in which voters have longer ballots may require additional time to allow the screens to load fully,' Pablos advised

 Ft. Bend County Election Administrator John Oldham told a local ABC News station he's seen the problem for at least six years

'It's not a glitch, it's a user-induced problem that comes from the type of system that we have,' Oldham said

'I think both sides could be equally hurt.' He added that he's talked to the Secretary of State more than once about the situation and it's not been fixed other than signs being posted that to warn voters to check their selections before hitting the red vote button

Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa is demanding the problem be fixed.'The first step in solving a problem is recognizing that you have one

And the Texas Secretary of State's office has one. This is not a new problem, their office knew about potential flaws in their voting machines and chose to ignore them for years,' he said in a statement

 'Instead of owning up to their mistake, Texas' Republican government blamed voters and did nothing

'He added: 'The Texas Democratic Party demands the Texas Secretary of State take responsibility for their failures and immediately take action to inform voters to double-check their ballots

'The O'Rourke campaign did not respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.Marian Schneider, president of Verified Voting, a voting integrity organization, told The Washington Post the glitch could impact 5

1 million Texas voters, at a minimum.

NASCAR Thunder 2004 (PS2) Thunder License: Episode #13 - Texas Motor Speedway - Duration: 4:27.

Richard Petty – "Everything's bigger in Texas;" that saying definitely applies here at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.

Richard Petty – Built in 1994, this 1 ½ mile oval can accommodate over 150,000 screaming NASCAR fans; and boy, do these fans get a show.

Richard Petty – Drivers' speed can reach over 190 miles an hour before they go into the 24 degree banked corners.

Richard Petty – Anyone who's been here will tell you, "This place is awesome."

Richard Petty – Texas can be a tough track to drive, with a narrow groove and the quad oval can be quite a handful if you're not ready for it.

Richard Petty – You want to take turn 1 & 2 at around 170 (mph) and you'll need to use all the track to get to the backstretch with the right speed.

Richard Petty – Stay on the gas and you'll get the car up to over 190 (mph) before you'll need to hit the brakes for turn 3.

Richard Petty – Hug the bottom of the track at about 170 (mph), then accelerate out of turn 4 when it starts to open up.

Richard Petty – The banking will level out and the car can get a little loose there, so watch out.

Jeff Gordon – Good.

Jeff Gordon – I think you can get a little more out of it.

Jeff Gordon – Follow me.

Jeff Gordon – Get on it some more.

Jeff Gordon – Put it right on the line.

Jeff Gordon – Great.

Jeff Gordon – The groove is up here.

Jeff Gordon – Sweet.

Jeff Gordon – Step it up.

Jeff Gordon – You're catching me.

Jeff Gordon – You're getting it.
