00:00:00
Speaker 1: Hello, Texans.

00:00:08
Speaker 1: Mark Vandermaar and John Harris with you and Max DJ me is that it mad.
00:00:16
Speaker 2: He is engineering for us tonight and it is a scene already outside.
00:00:21
Speaker 1: If you check out my Twitter.
00:00:23
Speaker 2: Or Instagram or both at Texans Choice on Instagram, you'll see a ton of people waiting to get in here. And we didn't have a great time to check out the new beauties players in them and a lot of stuff. Brandon, You've seen it all day folks on social media.
00:00:43
Speaker 1: Some of you are were at the.
00:00:44
Speaker 2: Texans Team Shop and I saw igt about that too.
00:00:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, well a lot of listeners, but maybe most of them were there.
00:00:53
Speaker 3: It was it felt like the city was there.
00:00:55
Speaker 1: It was passed at the Texans Team Shop today.
00:00:58
Speaker 3: I tried to go in inside door.
00:00:59
Speaker 4: You know, there's there's the side door to that where we can come from our offices, and that's why I sneak in that way A lot of times now is locked. I looked in there and went no, no, no, no, no, I'm good. It was a throng of people in there. Very cool to see. I kind of had a feeling you and I talked about this yesterday at some point ten o'clock it's gonna be a madhouse.
00:01:19
Speaker 3: Madhouse.
00:01:20
Speaker 4: So I got down there about eleven or five ish things, About eleven oh five ish. I got down there and it was clear line outside the door. I don't really want to go stand in line. I wait for things to calm down a little bit. But it's incredible just to see it. I mean, we've seen these before. We got a glimpse of them, but to see they're like where we are, We're in the corners. You walk in, We're over to the right corners. You want to say hi when you come in. Come in, and then you go see everything else. But they're pictures all around their videos and the one near us is the h Town Alternate, the Color Rush and those. When we met with the guys back I don't know what that was a couple of weeks when they were doing all the photo shoots and everything. Yeah, they were wearing those at the time that we were up there, and every single.
00:02:07
Speaker 3: Guy was like these, Oh yeah, these are fire. These are the ones we like, we like the most the most.
00:02:12
Speaker 5: Those rock.
00:02:14
Speaker 2: I think the battle Red is really taking over in many ways. Yep, the candy paint job on the helmets. People love that the red is a brighter red. It's a very bright red. And reading the comments is funny because.
00:02:28
Speaker 3: This is art.
00:02:29
Speaker 1: Okay, literally is art.
00:02:31
Speaker 2: So you're gonna have a lot of subjectivity here. Some people, Hey, I like this, SORR, I don't like that or whatever. But I think Doug Vasik, who's the senior VP of marketing, nailed it when he said there's something for everybody. Greg Grisslam, the President of the Texans, is going to join us. RCO Cal and Hannah McNair later on in the program will join us, and I can't wait to talk to them about how their day has been. They started their day, well maybe not started it, but they got their morning really rolling public media wise on Sports Radio six ' ten this morning.
00:03:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, they came in fired.
00:03:07
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, Hannah, Hannah came in guns blazing, verbal, guns blazing, and it was awesome. I mean just awesome. It's a great time to be a Texan. And Greg Grissom, the President of the Texans, joins us now with Greg, it certainly is a great time to be a Texan. We know what's been happening in this offseason. This is another part of it, but a huge part of it. And just to see it all in the flash here at seven one to.
00:03:33
Speaker 1: Three is amazing.
00:03:33
Speaker 3: You having fun.
00:03:34
Speaker 6: I mean, what a night and what a day, and you know, really what a what a what a year, what an season?
00:03:40
Speaker 1: Off season?
00:03:41
Speaker 6: And today's just a special day for the city of Houston and all our fans.
00:03:45
Speaker 4: Greg, I know you'd seen them and you've gone through the process. You knew what you were going to look like. You knew what you looked like on the players. You saw him on the players. Was there an intrepidation this morning about Okay, what are the fans gonna think when they see we? Was there any kind of thought of that or was it just look, we filed the process, the process we came to we like them, and we think you guys like them too. How'd you kind of feel as ten o'clock rolled around.
00:04:05
Speaker 6: Well, I'd go back to all the work that had been done by our team, our entire organization, all of our creative folks, and we had a pretty good sense that we we had listened from our fans and what they had told us, and then you know, there were a few leaks out there maybe, and so we got a little bit, we got a little we got a little bit of on that. But and we also knew we had some really really cool stuff to share today. And so I think I was more excited than anxious or nervous. You know, I sometimes get nervous around some of these things. And I slept really really well last night, and I think the days only confirmed that it's been a great day.
00:04:39
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:04:39
Speaker 1: I think I was just saying, Greg, the h Town.
00:04:42
Speaker 2: Blew the color rush. We all knew that that was going to have a positive reaction.
00:04:47
Speaker 1: It's awesome.
00:04:48
Speaker 2: The battle Red is really if I had to take a poll, I don't know which is in the lead right now, but the battle Red is really on fire with the.
00:04:55
Speaker 6: Fans well, And that was the thing that we knew that for the most part, most people hadn't seen it right, hadn't seen that helmet, and they didn't know quite what was gonna be there. And they're all red and the more vibrant color, and you know, I think there's something for everybody. Mark So maybe your own bottle red some people on as Town. I'm seeing a lot of love for the white uniforms. I'm seeing a lot of love for our normal blues. So that's kind of what we thought, is that there might be a little something for everybody, but that that red's pretty fire. And I know, I know my son's that's what he's on.
00:05:24
Speaker 4: Oh okay, Yeah, I just got the thumbs up from Los Angeles from my daughter. The red is her fet She absolutely loves her. Read my wife says the same thing. They both love the red. I want to get to a letter of the alphabet because it feels like no letter has ever made more noise in the city of Houston than the H. And what the age is gonna look like? And I remember as we're going through that process and we're thinking, what is this H gonna look like? And when I saw it for the first time, I went they nailed it. They nailed it. I think that's the most beautiful thing, the most beautiful age, and there's so many different things about it. As Doug pointed out in a video, how did we get to this age?
00:06:02
Speaker 3: And how happy are you with it?
00:06:03
Speaker 6: Well, I think as Doug, as you referenced Doug in the video that we released, and kind of goes the whole story behind all the uniforms, but particularly the age as well. You know, we had a very simple and traditional and we had been kind of testing that in some of the merchandise over the or some version of that over the last couple of years. And then you had this black letter version, which is kind of the you know, thee seemed like some of the hip hop albums and Rice and other things, and it's interesting and I probably would call myself a little bit more of a traditionalist. And but when we tested it from all different walks of life, and I had a chance to be in the room where people were saying, okay, we kind of were giving them a comparison of a more streamlined version or the version that we ultimately ended up with, and it was unanimous, all different walks of life, young, old, you know, different cultures. Everything that said, that's what we want to represent us and represent the city of Houston. And then just they are all little touches. I'm personally most fond of having the stars to the right of it, just because it connects our primary logo and that logo together, so there's some continuity.
00:07:06
Speaker 3: Greg.
00:07:06
Speaker 2: We did happen to notice that there was some activity at the Texans team shop today.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: We say it was massive, the turnout there.
00:07:15
Speaker 2: What can you share with us about that, well, I mean it was it was I could share that it was massive.
00:07:21
Speaker 6: There was a lot of folks there the merchandise. I think people were really enjoying all the options they had available. I know also on our online shop that was very active. You know, I don't want to get too far ahead of myselves, but we are We like to compete, right, We're an NFL team.
00:07:35
Speaker 7: We like to win.
00:07:36
Speaker 6: And we'll see what the final numbers are, but they're they're I think out of the uniforms that have been released in the last couple of weeks, our first day merchandise sales both at the store and online, we have a chance to be the number one. Uh I think we will be, but we'll we'll let that be confirmed. But of total sales of the new uniform, which just again speaks to the excitement and the energy around it.
00:07:57
Speaker 3: Greg.
00:07:58
Speaker 4: One of the moments in the video that that kind of struck me and I want to get your thoughts about because I thought I saw you. There was the trip to Beaverton to Nike YEP, Yep, what was that trip?
00:08:07
Speaker 5: Like?
00:08:07
Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, just going to the Nike campus, which seems enormous in this incredible campus, but then just to see them.
00:08:14
Speaker 6: For the first time, it was it was inspiring, I think is the word I would use, And just it was something that I'll probably never forget in my career. But just again having the mcnaire's and all the hard work that Kylan Hannah had done to kind of push the organization forward, push us forward, and to really be there and see them see the uniforms for the first time was probably the most special. But again, myself, Doug and a few of our folks from our creative team that had really done a tremendous amount of work. You know, it's just one of those things when they when they kind of pull them away and you you know what you think is going to be there because we've seen them on all all different types of graphics and things like that, but to see them live, it was a great day, something I'll never forget.
00:08:59
Speaker 2: Texan's president Greg Wristlom with us a couple more for you, Greg.
00:09:02
Speaker 5: All.
00:09:02
Speaker 2: Right after this, the week really slows down with a little event called the NFL Draft, Uh draft party Friday night. This is gonna be huge as well. I mean, this this week is off the chain. There are also other things going on involving partners and things right the general public might not know about.
00:09:20
Speaker 1: But I know it's a busy week. It's a busy week.
00:09:22
Speaker 6: But you know, we and I've loved announcing, you know, and launching these uniforms and all that the energy that that's created. But you know, I'm excited to get back to the draft and get back to some Johnny Harris football and and and you know see who new Texans are gonna be and and you know, I know, you know, the off season programs have started and so just you know, really getting back and I think coach Demico and Cal and Nick, hey, we're starting over right, We're We're we got to go earn it again. And that process has started with the off season and then the guys back in the building and the drafts another step. And to be there with all of our fans Friday night for our second third round picks at the Avanita will be great. And then really just get back to playing football and seeing how many w's we can put on the board.
00:10:05
Speaker 2: Am I right to presume that it'll be Liberty White at the Hall of Fame game.
00:10:11
Speaker 1: Is that the first UNI we're gonna see the team?
00:10:14
Speaker 6: You know, I think it's to be determined, Okay, you know, I don't. You know, it's an interesting question.
00:10:19
Speaker 1: The neutral site, the neutral.
00:10:21
Speaker 6: Site, So we haven't gotten that far down the roadbot So we'll see kind of where we go in the preseason, and then honestly with the schedule release, which is generally sometime in the second week in May, call it the second Thursday, May ninth ish. You know, that's not official by any means, but and I think from there, you know, we look at the theme dates and start kind of looking at uniform combinations for the opponents and seeing how all this comes to.
00:10:45
Speaker 3: Life for real. That is going to be a blast. Gregor want to ask you a last thing.
00:10:49
Speaker 4: Last year, one year ago, at this time, we're obviously thinking about that draft.
00:10:53
Speaker 3: It's funny.
00:10:54
Speaker 4: I've reached it for a jacket tonight what I was gonna wear, And I pulled out a jacket. I was like, man, I can feel something in the pocket. I reached in and pulled out and I had my twenty twenty three draft party pass oh, nice in my pocket and I was like, I'm.
00:11:07
Speaker 3: Hanging on it out. That was great. It's a good one. Glad that you didn't give it to the Drake Leaner.
00:11:10
Speaker 5: No.
00:11:11
Speaker 4: No, we're coming off three thirteen and one change coaches again, it's we're still not quite there.
00:11:18
Speaker 3: But we could see some of the seedlings.
00:11:20
Speaker 4: Then we have this draft and it turns a year later into all of this. I don't even know what really to ask, other than you see kind of a turnaround happening this fast, and where can this all go?
00:11:31
Speaker 1: Well?
00:11:33
Speaker 6: I would again, and I know I've said this a couple of times, but it's really true. I would really give a lot of credit to Klan Hannah and Janis McNair. You know, an overnight success, you know, three years in the making, I guess, but but you know that we did have some challenging times. But they had a plan and you know, they were really clear about what was expected from both us on the business side and from a fan perspective. And then you know what they were trying to build on the on the football side, and you know, reallyst off season, a lot of that started to culminate with the Miko, the draft, all the assets that Nick had pulled together over the last couple of years, and then you know some of the fun things that we've been doing on the on on the fans side, engaging the fans and really trying to do that. So you know, you never know how it's all gonna come together. So far, so good, but again it's it's really about to work, you know. At this point, Uh, we haven't won anything, and and I think we're excited about you know, doing that on and off the field and making sure this season as good as it possibly can be.
00:12:31
Speaker 1: Right, thanks a lot for joining us. Good luck today you guys.
00:12:33
Speaker 3: Enjoy all right.
00:12:34
Speaker 2: We're at the seven pe to three Music Hall for the Texans uniform reveal party, and it is a party.
00:12:40
Speaker 1: Inside.
00:12:41
Speaker 2: There's a big slab car in thereatful.
00:12:45
Speaker 4: I mean it's that red, it's the Battle Red. I mean it looks just fantastically. I mean it's it's so awesome.
00:12:53
Speaker 3: I mean it is really really cool. I want to drive it out of here, but I think it would be kind of obvious.
00:12:58
Speaker 1: They might frown on that kind of behavior. I'm thinking, well dry right around downtown kind of nice.
00:13:05
Speaker 2: I just love seeing the fans so happy at the store today. They were so happy buying up new jerseys, and fans are porn in here wearing the so called old stuff, right, which is certainly welcomed. All right, you invested in that product, wear it, enjoy.
00:13:19
Speaker 8: It, have it.
00:13:21
Speaker 2: The new stuff is available as well. I thought the store would sell out in seconds, but they just kept on bringing out more inventory, more inventory, more inventory. So it all worked out that way. But Johnny, we do have a draft to get ready for. We did that is awesome, and I think I said it was it last week.
00:13:37
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know.
00:13:38
Speaker 2: If we're not you, but we collectively are excited enough for this draft. This draft, you're gonna have new players, like Greg said, new Texans on the way, and this is gonna be cool. Think of what Nick Caserio can do with two second round draft picks. Think of what he did in a draft where in twenty twenty one, whether Texans didn't have a first or second round pick, and you got guy like Nico.
00:14:01
Speaker 1: Collins, among others.
00:14:02
Speaker 2: And Nico is a guy that we desperately want to see remain in Houston, Texan going into twenty twenty five, because this is the last year of his rookie deal. So there's a lot to watch out for. There are a lot of attractive names that they can get that can really help this team as much as they've helped themselves in free agency, there's still so much on the table that we don't know. Players you don't know right now, well you know them, but players you don't know that will be Texans could play a major role in what goes down this season.
00:14:31
Speaker 3: You know, I always think about that going into the draft.
00:14:34
Speaker 4: You know, which of these names do you look at it and go, Okay, this guy he could be a Texan.
00:14:39
Speaker 3: What's that gonna look like? What's it gonna look like?
00:14:40
Speaker 4: In November, we're getting ready for a game and he's starting at cornerback or wide receiver.
00:14:45
Speaker 3: He fits a tackle, And I always that's.
00:14:48
Speaker 4: Just such a I don't know, I love that feeling of Okay, this guy's gonna be with us.
00:14:52
Speaker 3: And I remember having this feeling.
00:14:53
Speaker 4: We went to the Combine at twenty three, so not this past year, but the year before, and I remember I wanted to just see.
00:14:59
Speaker 3: Willy Anderson live to something.
00:15:01
Speaker 4: I was so excited to just see him live, and he.
00:15:05
Speaker 3: He didn't he didn't run or didn't work out, he saved it for his pro day. So I wasn't I was.
00:15:11
Speaker 4: I was just like, dang it, man, I wanted to see that guy live. I wanted to see what he looked like. Then we end up drafting him, and now not only do we get to see him, we get to see him play for us winning the game. And I'm trying to talk as we're taking pictures, proposing for pictures, also talking about Will Anderson Junior. But the fact is getting a chance to see these guys turn into what they turned into really really cool. And you know, as we're sitting with these guys, you know, a few weeks ago, we're up on the roof here and we're just talking to him. They've got the new jerseys on and they're just loving new jerseys. But he just sensed this excitement for what is happening with this organization, with this city.
00:15:51
Speaker 3: And I know there are times when when people.
00:15:55
Speaker 4: Say to me, oh, you guys are homers talking about this and that and all that kind of stuff, And I'm like, you know what, yeah, because you get on this train now and you see what excitement can bring.
00:16:04
Speaker 3: And it's like we were down in the.
00:16:07
Speaker 4: Dumps for you know, four win seasons, three win seasons, all the stuff off the field to get to this point and to see these fans walking in and be so happy and so excited, like you said earlier, is one of the coolest things I can think of.
00:16:21
Speaker 3: And I said this to you up there, like, you know what, Yeah.
00:16:23
Speaker 4: The Jewses are great. You know, I don't think about the jerseys all that much. You don't think about the draft and all that. But to see how happy people are about this organization and what they're doing is really really cool.
00:16:34
Speaker 2: So I like to rank things or at least assess where they stand.
00:16:39
Speaker 1: And we talked about last off season. Was that the greatest offseason.
00:16:43
Speaker 2: They've ever had the organization When you think about CJ, when you think about Will Anderson, I mean, that's unbelievable what they pulled off there alone, and the free agent signings and then the result of it. But it all started with the hiring of Demico. But this offseason people have asked me, like, where does this stack up and everything, And it kind of reminded me in a way because there's always gonna be apples to oranges here, but the apples are You're coming off a divisional round appearance and you have a ton of momentum going into the next year. So it reminds me in that way of twenty twelve. But and as exciting as that was, I really think that this is another dimension because all right, you have an outstanding free agent class.
00:17:28
Speaker 1: You know, you have a quarterback, you know, you have year or two of Demico.
00:17:31
Speaker 2: It's also fresh still and speaking of fresh, the new uniforms, the rebrand, it's incredible, the truckload of momentum you have going now.
00:17:42
Speaker 1: And of course it's all about backing it up.
00:17:44
Speaker 2: But I'm talking about where you stand now in the off season and we haven't even had the draft yet.
00:17:48
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:17:48
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and to see you know, it's it's gonna be interesting because you know, a lot a lot of training camps are a lot of first few, you know, first game, you know, the preseason games.
00:17:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you want to look for?
00:17:59
Speaker 4: You know, you're not gonna see this artists for much, but it's gonna be cool to see Danil Hunter in a uniform, you know, all this kind of stuff.
00:18:04
Speaker 3: And then on top of that, you're gonna be looking at them.
00:18:06
Speaker 4: In new uniforms down in the field. So there's so much to be looking for with this team early on in the preseason Hall of Fame game, and I don't think we'll see a lot of the guys that night.
00:18:17
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll just wear the jerseys because they want to look good at them and.
00:18:19
Speaker 2: See what jerseys. I brought up a good question, Johnny, what's that? What jerseys?
00:18:24
Speaker 1: Well, they wear that night, it's either Liberty white or the deep Steel blue. It's not gonna be one of the other. No, it's one of those. Witch is it being a neutral sight? I just want to don't.
00:18:34
Speaker 3: I mean, either way, it's good. I mean, I don't.
00:18:36
Speaker 4: I don't mind if they I've always liked the I like the road uni that the deep Sea of blue with the Liberty White. I like that combo. You know, we weren't a playoff game. I like that, and I like the combo when I see it. I think that was the picture that that cal put out. Oh yeah, when the first League happy. Yeah, I like that. I think that's what we're wearing. I like the Yeah, the new one of that is really cool, right, I love that design. All right, let's see what they wear.
00:19:02
Speaker 2: It'll be August first, but we have a lot to talk about between now and then, including we'll talk to the mcnairs that is coming up, among other things. Here from seven to three Music Hall for the Texans Uniform Reveal party. We are presented by you r Houston area Ford Dealers. It's Texans Radio presented by your Houston area Ford Dealers, Mark Vandamer and John Harris. At the Texans Revealed Party. We are having fun here at seven and to three Music Hall down at the Post Downtown. This is such a cool facility all the way through and this music hall is outstanding.
00:19:35
Speaker 1: The Houston Sports Awards were here. They have a lot of other events here. Yeah, that was I didn't.
00:19:39
Speaker 4: Realize there were I didn't realize. I walked in where the slab was, slab car was over here. I look back. I didn't realize they've got all these seats up here.
00:19:47
Speaker 1: Yeah they there.
00:19:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got a falcony whatever they call it.
00:19:51
Speaker 3: That is real.
00:19:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is really nice. I mean, I'd love to see a musical act here. I've been here several times. We were considering this as a draft party location, but that didn't happen. Instead decided to do the reveal party here. So that's super cool.
00:20:04
Speaker 4: So this So this party was started six thirty, right, it's six six twenty five and people have been pouring in for forty five minutes.
00:20:12
Speaker 2: No, I think I think seven officially, Johnny, if I'm not mistaken, I think, Okay.
00:20:16
Speaker 1: I don't know.
00:20:16
Speaker 3: They're just letting people pour in.
00:20:18
Speaker 2: Cal and Hannah mcnare gonna join us at about six thirty, we hear, so we'll find out. Uh.
00:20:24
Speaker 1: I saw one of the coaches from my flag football.
00:20:27
Speaker 2: League with my my my eleven year old team, and he said, we're gonna get you next time because we beat him on opening day. But we just lost last week and we got fat and happy and lost. So I told him, I said, listen, we're vulnerable now. I cannot have this. So, you know, I feel like getting this new deep steel blue look for the team or something.
00:20:46
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe we can do.
00:20:48
Speaker 3: Name of what's your team name? Are you?
00:20:50
Speaker 8: Tell?
00:20:50
Speaker 1: Gosh?
00:20:50
Speaker 4: You know what?
00:20:50
Speaker 2: They wanted to call it the Bolt, the Riz or the Wrizzlers, because like that's the thing.
00:20:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
00:20:57
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you guys are eleven.
00:20:59
Speaker 2: Can we just calm down a bit here because we're we all.
00:21:03
Speaker 1: Have team numbers so and we and it used to be an NFL league.
00:21:08
Speaker 5: Right now.
00:21:08
Speaker 2: No, no, we used to do that, but we haven't done that anymore. Last year we're the Buccaneers. Oh we we were the Browns forever when the Browns were horrible because I you know, they ran out.
00:21:20
Speaker 1: Of Texans gear one year.
00:21:21
Speaker 2: So the guy just gave me the Browns, and I thought, man, and they were awful.
00:21:25
Speaker 1: But I said, listen, no one will see us coming. They won't see us coming.
00:21:29
Speaker 5: Now.
00:21:30
Speaker 2: I would never pick that, obviously, for obvious reasons. I would never pick that. But we'll see what happens with that. And no one wants to hear about my flag football coaching, but they do want to hear about the Houston Texans and how they fit in in this uniform derby with the rest of the league. Look, I saw the Broncos yesterday, all right. I've seen some of the other unveils. I saw the Jets, I saw the Lions, all right. I do think the Texans are tracking ahead of those organizations, so they might win this thing for the off season, the unofficial off season uniform switch competition.
00:22:06
Speaker 4: Here here are my rankings, all right, ours one the two Lions, the Lions, Lions class.
00:22:12
Speaker 3: I love the blue, I love the classic look. I love that. I think it's what they needed.
00:22:16
Speaker 4: And then Rod Wood told Dan Campbell, you gotta win a division and then we'll.
00:22:22
Speaker 3: Get the black Back. They got the black Back.
00:22:24
Speaker 4: With like a you know, a like a different colored blue, almost like a teal blue. Jets are close to the lines. I like the I like the Jets going back to the future. The Jets black UNI, Oh my goodness, that things beauty. And the Broncos are like how far down you can go?
00:22:42
Speaker 3: Now? Now the retro Bronco UNI.
00:22:44
Speaker 4: He's bringing back the O g unis the orange with the light blue helmet with the D on it. Now, those are those are fire. But the new ones that they I don't know what they did with those. I don't know what happened.
00:22:57
Speaker 2: A fan brought this up with me that the Steelers really don't change. They tweaked, they don't change the numbers. The Dolphins really tweak and they don't change. Teams that have won multiple Super Bowls tend not to change, right, The Patriots didn't change after they won a Super Bowl, right. I think they tweaked after that first one. But they really look basically the same. So the question was, had we won a super Bowl, would we be doing this? And I can't answer that because I wish we had won a super Bowl so we could find out. But I'd love to win one of these now that we've changed. But look at it this way. The Bucks change, they win a super Bowl. It was a few years, but they won one. The Broncos change, they won a Super Bowl and they had been to four and lost in the old uniforms because Craig Morton in the seventies don three with L Way.
00:23:47
Speaker 1: They lost.
00:23:48
Speaker 2: Then they went two with Lway and that's how that went down. So you have to look at it like that. Oh my gosh, and we are we're greeted by a model, one of the of the new gear.
00:24:01
Speaker 1: Oh yes, and her name is Hannah McNair.
00:24:04
Speaker 3: Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa what are you talking about? Oh he's not wearing a hat that he wore the other day. He's as good a model as we have had in this whole thing. And that's mister McNab.
00:24:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, the chairman CEO. Kids wear the h Town blue.
00:24:17
Speaker 3: Are they wearing everything?
00:24:18
Speaker 1: Hannah, the McNair kids.
00:24:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, new battle red. I've got the battle Red, I've got the h Town blue, the color Rush jersey. And Cal put the hat on top of the headset, which.
00:24:29
Speaker 7: You know that it's not a good fit.
00:24:32
Speaker 3: It's okay.
00:24:33
Speaker 2: When we're in the broadcast food that it's zero degrees, I put the hat on, then the headset over it. Sometimes that works, so welcome Cal and Hannah McNair. Congratulations, what a great day.
00:24:42
Speaker 1: How is your debt so far?
00:24:44
Speaker 7: It's been busy, full and a lot of fun, A lot of fun.
00:24:48
Speaker 4: How many text messages have you gotten from people just saying congratulations, this is awesome.
00:24:53
Speaker 3: They're excited about being Texas.
00:24:54
Speaker 9: Misam a lot, a lot, yeah, one hundred, I don't know, a lot. Trying to keep it that it's really hard.
00:25:01
Speaker 4: Okay, So how many bullet holes did you actually leave in Landry this morning? Bullet hole verbal bullet holes is because you came in with the receipts and that was kind of it was awesome to hear.
00:25:15
Speaker 3: But I know you, I know you guys. You fight about the Hayshtown blue.
00:25:19
Speaker 4: Thing and all that, but just seeing the one thing I asked Greg was when you guys weren't have to Beaverton. It saw for the first time. What were your thoughts, like you're seeing the first new jersey, what were.
00:25:29
Speaker 3: You guys thinking you saw for the first time.
00:25:31
Speaker 7: I was thinking all those bullet holes were earned.
00:25:37
Speaker 1: It was there.
00:25:39
Speaker 2: What was the difference in seeing the uniforms in design versus on the players or I would say models, But it's definitely better.
00:25:47
Speaker 1: On the players.
00:25:48
Speaker 7: Well, uh, definitely. It's a whole other experience on the players and either just a mock up or a drawing or on someone else. So seeing it on a player really puts it into action and then you get to see it come in to lag that way.
00:26:02
Speaker 2: What about you, Hannah, see design versus in the flesh, so to speak.
00:26:07
Speaker 9: I think on the players, it just gets it a whole different element, like Kyle said, and you get to see them on the field. You get to imagine that feeling on game day where they're wearing those uniforms. So when they're in a you just put yourself in that stadium with those guys in those uniforms, and you just get that stadium feeling, that game day feeling.
00:26:26
Speaker 1: And you're ready to go.
00:26:27
Speaker 9: I feel like that's what I see when I look at these pictures and videos of them in it.
00:26:31
Speaker 3: So we've had this day circle for a while.
00:26:32
Speaker 4: When you're about the party ten o'clock videos are going out and the world's going to see these things.
00:26:38
Speaker 3: I mean, it are some it'd seen some of them, but I had seen everything.
00:26:42
Speaker 4: What are y'all feeling this morning when you're kind of like, what's the reaction going to be? Did you guys have any worries about it? Were you anxious about it? What are you kind of thinking as ten o'clock rolled around? Was it more excitement than anxiety?
00:26:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm definitely more excitement. We've had gotten some feedback from the leagues of course that we're produced out. We were looking for a plumber but couldn't quite find one. But yeah, but we're really excited for ten o'clock to roll around and we could show everyone, you know, the full closet and and so that was something we're really looking forward to.
00:27:13
Speaker 9: We're expecting mixed reviews, as you normally get that with any reveal. Some people don't like change, but really overwhelmingly it's been really positive.
00:27:24
Speaker 1: I was asked what we'd be wearing in.
00:27:26
Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame game, and I thought, if I had a choice, I might say the Liberty white, just to you know, lead with.
00:27:32
Speaker 9: That one, kind of like Andre choose.
00:27:36
Speaker 1: I I like this meeting here.
00:27:37
Speaker 4: Yes, I got a feeling that Andre is gonna pick that one, because every single player we talked to I like that the color Rush one.
00:27:45
Speaker 3: Every one of them was like this one is. I wonder.
00:27:47
Speaker 9: I wonder if there's requirement, like if that goes against our what our closet can do, like if it's pre season, if it's a Hall of Fame game, because it's so out of the ordinary.
00:27:59
Speaker 10: So I don't know if the preseason counts, so we can wear whatever we want.
00:28:03
Speaker 7: So I'm not sure, but I think that's right. But my gut tells me this will be a visiting trip, so we'd be in our white jerseys. But I don't know for sure.
00:28:11
Speaker 2: Maybe, but I like the way you say that, Hannah, what are closets can provide?
00:28:15
Speaker 4: That's kind of interesting now that we've got a full closet of new uniforms.
00:28:19
Speaker 2: I love the gear associated though, because Hannah's wearing the jacket right now and it's beautiful.
00:28:25
Speaker 9: I was just talking about you.
00:28:29
Speaker 1: Probably can't. Okay, no one can hear a thing in here unless you have the headset on. But Hall of Famer that that is so special. Though, what a year cal that you have?
00:28:40
Speaker 2: This, You have the draft coming up, which I don't know if we've been talking enough about the draft with everything else that is going on, and you have Adrey Johnson going into the halls.
00:28:48
Speaker 1: The first Texas.
00:28:49
Speaker 5: It's a good year.
00:28:50
Speaker 7: It's a good year. Let's keep it going. Had a great off season, a number of really good free agents coming in the Hall of Fame the Jersey and now let's roll into the draft and have a great draft and let's just keep the ball going.
00:29:05
Speaker 2: How will you spend Thursday night the first round, because we were talking to.
00:29:09
Speaker 1: Nick about it. You guys don't have a pick, but you never know, right, So how does all that work? That process? Well, we'll be in the draft room.
00:29:19
Speaker 7: We'll be in the draft room and we'll be watching the draft, and that'll affect what happens on the second day. And you never know. Nick can trade up, he can trade down if there's no telling what he was gonna do.
00:29:28
Speaker 9: So we got a guy like Nico Collins when we didn't have a first or second room.
00:29:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, traded up into.
00:29:35
Speaker 3: The route exactly.
00:29:37
Speaker 9: So, I mean, you never know what can happen. But if you're watching the board and you're watching your guys, guys, you may.
00:29:42
Speaker 4: Like, we know, not to take a bathroom break at any point where we possibly could like it to wait. We're well schooled on Nick Casario drafts. We know anything can happen at any time. And I swear last year I saw you guys on stage, you know, probably an hour or so after that happened. I don't know that I've experienced anything like CJ. Strauby drafted in a trade to get Will Anderson. I don't know what y'all were thinking at a time, and you guys were probably the draft room like watching all fold.
00:30:09
Speaker 3: But for us, I mean that was incredible wash during that draft.
00:30:12
Speaker 8: Body.
00:30:12
Speaker 10: Yeah, we were in the draft room and it was all business though right then, right like you don't there's not a big roar in there like what there was where you guys were.
00:30:23
Speaker 9: I mean, we were all cheering, very excited, but the energy that was coming back into that room from the feedback we were getting from people who were with y'all.
00:30:32
Speaker 1: Was so contagious.
00:30:33
Speaker 9: That we wanted to be back there with everyone.
00:30:36
Speaker 2: What is the role tonight here at this reveal party for the two of you? Are you going up on stage? What is going to happen? What can you tell us about the jury?
00:30:45
Speaker 9: Locker is coming out in our home uniform.
00:30:48
Speaker 3: That's what you have to do.
00:30:49
Speaker 4: You have to get a bet with Landry and then that's what you win. If you loses the bets, he's got to wear that unifor.
00:30:54
Speaker 9: Why would I give him some of them that nice because he doesn't think it's nice.
00:30:59
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're we're here. I'm not sure how long we're gonna be here.
00:31:03
Speaker 5: We're going to be here for a while.
00:31:05
Speaker 7: And I did they do want us on stage to say about a line or two and but we're excited for the uniforms and for everyone to come out and experience.
00:31:13
Speaker 2: Great to see the kids out here tonight. How's the athletic competition going, Hannah?
00:31:17
Speaker 1: How are the teams?
00:31:19
Speaker 9: Oh, the teams are all doing really really well. Calhoun's last tournament, actually the last tournament the boys were in.
00:31:25
Speaker 1: All of them made it to the championship, which was.
00:31:27
Speaker 9: Really quite fun. Calhoun's team, he almost pitched a no hitter until the last inning of the championship game hit a home run. I think on the weekend his team had sixteen home runs, which was phenomenal. It was rainy, it was so much fun. I know, right, it was exciting. You've never experienced anything like.
00:31:48
Speaker 3: How many games would you have? All told?
00:31:50
Speaker 9: Oh, that's too for Calhoun that weekend had five. Robert that weekend had five in two days, so that's ten, Michael.
00:32:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, It just it just gets kind of.
00:32:02
Speaker 2: So your off season is not stress free as far as watching games.
00:32:05
Speaker 1: You have a different kind of stress watching the kids play, right, but it's a fun stress us.
00:32:12
Speaker 7: Right, it's months as long as the wines exactly right.
00:32:17
Speaker 2: Answer of the day. Thank you very much, Callan Hanna for joining us today.
00:32:21
Speaker 1: Congratulate anything else. Yeah, but let's just sit out and talk now. Let's we want to know. We want to know second round. We got two bags. We want to know all of it. And I also, you know what I'm thinking about. The theme days.
00:32:34
Speaker 2: Are going to be really interesting to decide when do you wear the color rush, when do you wear battle red? And we want to see what we have in prime time because how many.
00:32:43
Speaker 1: Will it be? Did they give you any kind of clue.
00:32:45
Speaker 2: As to how many front time games or you just have to wait like everybody else.
00:32:49
Speaker 7: I think we've earned a few primetime games. So we'll see what happens. But we'll find out a little bit before everyone else.
00:32:56
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, So when the kids, when the kids were like, mom and dad, I want that jersey or I want that piece of merch.
00:33:05
Speaker 3: What did they ask for me?
00:33:07
Speaker 1: They asked, actually they asked which the.
00:33:12
Speaker 3: One they wanted.
00:33:12
Speaker 9: First, Robert Michael wanted the h Town okay, but then they start, you know, I want h Town in this number. I want the white one in this number.
00:33:25
Speaker 1: I want that, you know.
00:33:25
Speaker 9: So they kind of go down the list, and.
00:33:28
Speaker 2: I wanted the home jersey because that's yes, absolutely deep steel blue tradition.
00:33:35
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thanks so much for joining us. We appreciate it.

I mean, they got to pack that up and put that somewhere else, right.

00:35:29
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:35:30
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it's really good looking, man, I'm excited about it, Dre.
00:35:34
Speaker 4: One of the things about that red helmet is the red chrome face mask, which I can't remember where we had last year, but we didn't have that. We all red chrome, but that red chrome face mask, it just seems like it completes like that that uniform, that red uniform.
00:35:48
Speaker 3: I didn't know how it's gonna feel, Dre.
00:35:51
Speaker 4: You guys wore the red ketchup bottles, you know seven That's what I called them, the ketchup bottles, and no seven, I don't call them that now.
00:35:58
Speaker 3: But what was your fa What was your favorite uniform combination that you guys wore?
00:36:02

00:36:06
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, that was my favorite. Jode were the playoff game right play the first playoff game.
00:36:12
Speaker 1: Really, I don't think so.
00:36:16
Speaker 5: Yet.
00:36:18
Speaker 2: I know that, you know, yeah, you know, I don't remember uniform combinations that way.
00:36:22
Speaker 3: I don't remember everything I.
00:36:23
Speaker 1: Remember over the night. I'll tell you one other thing I remember, and this came up.
00:36:27
Speaker 2: I was on the Afternoon Show today and they asked me about uniform design and other places. Well, with the hurricanes in your era, they were experimenting with the green and different things because that wasn't a traditional Miami color, right, it was orange usually with the white.
00:36:43
Speaker 1: So what was that like?
00:36:44
Speaker 2: Because you guys had a lot of cool different ones with the stripes. But I remember some of the purists were reacting to those.
00:36:50
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was a I think the thing was when we got the green uniforms. Everybody was super excited because it was always orange and white. Yeah, and you know the uniforms had changed right before. No, I actually changed it when I got there. So well, my first year we had still had the older uniform So my second year was when we started winning the newer uniforms, and I mean, guys were super excited.
00:37:14
Speaker 5: Guys always wanted to be in green.
00:37:16
Speaker 2: Yeah really yeah really for the all white like at Penn State opener in two thousand and one, all.
00:37:22
Speaker 1: White and just running right by them. That was awesome.
00:37:25
Speaker 3: That I was that all. I was sweet, There's no doubt, Dredy major trip to Canton. Yeah, how'd that go? How was it?
00:37:30
Speaker 5: It was fun? Man?
00:37:32
Speaker 8: Did the orientation just pretty much found out everything that's gonna.
00:37:36

00:37:36
Speaker 8: During the days that I'm there, I got to go around the city a little bit, meet some people.
00:37:44
Speaker 5: It was fun.
00:37:45
Speaker 8: Got to hang out with the guys Hester and well it was four of us there at the time. Patrick and Julius had came the week before, so you know, we got to hang out with the guys and just catch up. Man was it was a great time time. I think probably the craziest moment for me was walking into.
00:38:05
Speaker 1: That room with all the bush Yeah.
00:38:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, so like to be in there.
00:38:09

00:38:15
Speaker 5: Bus in that room.
00:38:17
Speaker 8: So yeah, so that's gonna be Uh, that's gonna be pretty cool.
00:38:21
Speaker 2: So that well, they might have to move it to Cleveland. All of Houston is going to see you get inducted. Everybody I talked to plans on being there.
00:38:29
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:38:30
Speaker 8: When I was there, one of the guys asked me who works with the Hall of Fame. He was like, how do you think Houston is going to show up? And I told him, I was like, man, listen, I was like, especially with us having that Hall of Fame game, Oh yeah yeah.
00:38:45
Speaker 5: I told her.
00:38:46
Speaker 8: I was like, it's gonna be crazy. Like everybody I talked to, even just you know, I went back home for the spring game.
00:38:52
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago that you were coaching, right, yeah.
00:38:55
Speaker 5: Me and Hester was out there. It was actually pretty cool.
00:38:59
Speaker 8: Uh, you know, just to get to be around the guys. Going back to the alumni dinner. It was a great man hanging out with Mike. You know, it was Michael.
00:39:07

00:39:09
Speaker 1: Hey, one more for you.
00:39:10
Speaker 2: Stefive Digs signs with the Texas and this is a pretty good pass catching crew already. So what do you think of the addition of him.
00:39:17
Speaker 8: I think it just makes us better. You know, I felt like we already had a great group of receivers, and I think it just makes the group better. It creates competition in the room, and it just helps everybody elevate their game.
00:39:33
Speaker 5: I think, you.
00:39:34
Speaker 8: Know, him coming in is going to push the guys to be, you know, better, players, So it should be a lot of fun.
00:39:41
Speaker 5: Man.

00:41:03
Speaker 1: So pretty it's it's nuts.
00:41:06
Speaker 2: And this off season and leading into the season is so full. My heart is full, the plate is full, the cup runneth over, however you want to describe it, because you think about everything we've got coming up here, the draft and the schedule release, and before you know it, camp starts early, and who knows what they're gonna do with that. There was a report that the Rams are coming in for practice. I don't know if we confirm that or whatever, but you know, and who knows what else, because you know you're going to Campton for that Hall of Fame game, and that could lead to all sorts of cool stuff.
00:41:37
Speaker 1: So I cannot wait for that four preseason.
00:41:41
Speaker 2: Game slate, getting into the regular season and all of it. Johnny, I'm getting impatient. Come on, let's go, let's play right now. Yeah, wait at night I gotta play this weekend.
00:41:51
Speaker 3: There's always an excitement from us.
00:41:52
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously get excited for the draft, but I think anybody, anybody and everybody that I talk to, yeah, no matter where they live, they're like, man, you gotta be excited. And I'm like yeah, And I mean, I I try to control it because I know it's such a once we get into the season, it.
00:42:10
Speaker 3: Is a long grind no matter how good it is. Incredible last year was incredible. It was a grind. Man.
00:42:18
Speaker 4: In November, you and I look at each other like, all right, just do this again because we had our early buy so we were playing like twelve straight so you just had to keep going and going and going. Uh And that was long, but man, it was fun. And I think that's the way this year can be. Once you get to camp, like all right, buckle up. It's football season until February. And that's the way we gotta start thinking, like januiny no, no, no, we gotta be thinking about this thing ends in February.
00:42:45
Speaker 3: That's the way things got like that. That's the way we gotta look at.
00:42:47
Speaker 2: Also got to think that the most important things are the first things, and the first things are crucial to get those right. This is gonna be really interesting for Jamiko Ryans last year. You come in, you try to build something up, and you're still trying to build something up here, of course, but you have all these expectations, and I think it's harder than ever for teams to tune out the noise. You know, you can't then go back talking to Andre where he was really avoiding newspapers and radio shows and everything when he was in his Heisman campaign. But it was a different era because now just you get push notifications.
00:43:22
Speaker 1: Popping right to your phone.
00:43:24
Speaker 3: You walk to the grocery store and somebody's taking a picture of you.
00:43:26
Speaker 2: Hey man, picture with that picture is everywhere everywhere, I mean before the smartphone taking a picture and you got a camera.
00:43:32
Speaker 1: No, all right, well I guess no picture. I mean, it's it's hard to remember that.
00:43:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, and kids today are growing up in an era where you can't imagine not having a camera with you and video camera at all times.
00:43:46
Speaker 4: And you're right, it puts that much more pressure every single week, and especially with what's been done this offseason with adding Daniel Hunter, adding Asease, resigning Dalton, bringing to Joe Mixon trading for digs. All these names that people know not only here in Houston but throughout the league that are.
00:44:04
Speaker 3: Now all in Houston. It's it's ramping up the pressure wherever you go.
00:44:08
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, South said it last night when I was talking to him.
00:44:12
Speaker 3: I put you.
00:44:12
Speaker 4: Guys in that category right behind Kansas City and Baltimore.
00:44:16
Speaker 3: Like, why STU you? We were thirty first in power rankings.
00:44:19
Speaker 2: So I mean, I think so he just dropped the Bills down because of what they going.
00:44:23
Speaker 4: To got the bills with US and the Bengals, Oh, we're looking at kind of second tiers like first tier Kansas City, Baltimore that weren't that kind of we're that second tier.
00:44:32
Speaker 1: I get it.
00:44:32
Speaker 3: Bill's Bengals and US get it.
00:44:34
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with him, I really don't.
00:44:38
Speaker 2: But it's wild and surreal and compare to last year, I know, but it's this time last.
00:44:43
Speaker 3: Year we're looking at thirty first in the power rankings. So the team worse than US was Arizona.
00:44:47
Speaker 1: But it's important to remember everything that went into it because.
00:44:49
Speaker 2: Exactly the regular with a win or go home scenario and what.
00:44:56
Speaker 1: If you lose.
00:44:56
Speaker 2: Look, they didn't lose that game. What if you lost that game though, how you feel right now? You're nine and eight, but you'd feel great about having a winning season. Just too bad you couldn't beat the Colts in the clutch. But they did beat the Colts.
00:45:07
Speaker 1: In the clutch.
00:45:07
Speaker 4: So I like watching the behind the scenes stuff. The Colts do a pretty good job with their behind the scenes. Like, yeah, you know, I can't remember that building the Colts.
00:45:14
Speaker 3: I think it is what they call them.
00:45:15
Speaker 4: So the first the first episode, they flash ut Lucas oil and then it says January sixth, twenty twenty four.
00:45:22
Speaker 3: Ooh, and I'm like, oh, I know that date.
00:45:25
Speaker 4: And immediately the next shot they show is the forest Buckner on the sideline and you see him go there, it is, there, it is. And then Goodson drops the ball. They show that, and they don't show him dropping the ball, but they you see the reaction on the sideline right, and I just went this is awesome.
00:45:40
Speaker 3: And so in the locker room you can just see, you know, them.
00:45:42
Speaker 4: Dealing with that loss, and I'm like, there was so much joy in the other locker room. There was I mean, I've never been around more joy after a game. It was incredible and to experience that and then go, you know what, We're we're better. You guys had your shot. That's the way we got to think. You guys had your shot. We're now we're light years away from you guys. I fear the Colts still, but that's the way we have to think, is that we're moving beyond the Colts being in our rearview.
00:46:11
Speaker 2: It's respect everybody because they're on your schedule twice so and I know you know that, I know you know that. All right, thank you Chris for producing tonight.

00:00:43
Speaker 1: Some of you are were at the.
00:00:44
Speaker 2: Texans Team Shop and I saw igt about that too.
00:00:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, well a lot of listeners, but maybe most of them were there.
00:00:53
Speaker 3: It was it felt like the city was there.
00:00:55
Speaker 1: It was passed at the Texans Team Shop today.
00:00:58
Speaker 3: I tried to go in inside door.
00:00:59
Speaker 4: You know, there's there's the side door to that where we can come from our offices, and that's why I sneak in that way A lot of times now is locked. I looked in there and went no, no, no, no, no, I'm good. It was a throng of people in there. Very cool to see. I kind of had a feeling you and I talked about this yesterday at some point ten o'clock it's gonna be a madhouse.
00:01:19
Speaker 3: Madhouse.
00:01:20
Speaker 4: So I got down there about eleven or five ish things, About eleven oh five ish. I got down there and it was clear line outside the door. I don't really want to go stand in line. I wait for things to calm down a little bit. But it's incredible just to see it. I mean, we've seen these before. We got a glimpse of them, but to see they're like where we are, We're in the corners. You walk in, We're over to the right corners. You want to say hi when you come in. Come in, and then you go see everything else. But they're pictures all around their videos and the one near us is the h Town Alternate, the Color Rush and those. When we met with the guys back I don't know what that was a couple of weeks when they were doing all the photo shoots and everything. Yeah, they were wearing those at the time that we were up there, and every single.
00:02:07
Speaker 3: Guy was like these, Oh yeah, these are fire. These are the ones we like, we like the most the most.
00:02:12
Speaker 5: Those rock.
00:02:14
Speaker 2: I think the battle Red is really taking over in many ways. Yep, the candy paint job on the helmets. People love that the red is a brighter red. It's a very bright red. And reading the comments is funny because.
00:02:28
Speaker 3: This is art.
00:02:29
Speaker 1: Okay, literally is art.
00:02:31
Speaker 2: So you're gonna have a lot of subjectivity here. Some people, Hey, I like this, SORR, I don't like that or whatever. But I think Doug Vasik, who's the senior VP of marketing, nailed it when he said there's something for everybody. Greg Grisslam, the President of the Texans, is going to join us. RCO Cal and Hannah McNair later on in the program will join us, and I can't wait to talk to them about how their day has been. They started their day, well maybe not started it, but they got their morning really rolling public media wise on Sports Radio six ' ten this morning.
00:03:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, they came in fired.
00:03:07
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, Hannah, Hannah came in guns blazing, verbal, guns blazing, and it was awesome. I mean just awesome. It's a great time to be a Texan. And Greg Grissom, the President of the Texans, joins us now with Greg, it certainly is a great time to be a Texan. We know what's been happening in this offseason. This is another part of it, but a huge part of it. And just to see it all in the flash here at seven one to.
00:03:33
Speaker 1: Three is amazing.
00:03:33
Speaker 3: You having fun.
00:03:34
Speaker 6: I mean, what a night and what a day, and you know, really what a what a what a year, what an season?
00:03:40
Speaker 1: Off season?
00:03:41
Speaker 6: And today's just a special day for the city of Houston and all our fans.
00:03:45
Speaker 4: Greg, I know you'd seen them and you've gone through the process. You knew what you were going to look like. You knew what you looked like on the players. You saw him on the players. Was there an intrepidation this morning about Okay, what are the fans gonna think when they see we? Was there any kind of thought of that or was it just look, we filed the process, the process we came to we like them, and we think you guys like them too. How'd you kind of feel as ten o'clock rolled around.
00:04:05
Speaker 6: Well, I'd go back to all the work that had been done by our team, our entire organization, all of our creative folks, and we had a pretty good sense that we we had listened from our fans and what they had told us, and then you know, there were a few leaks out there maybe, and so we got a little bit, we got a little we got a little bit of on that. But and we also knew we had some really really cool stuff to share today. And so I think I was more excited than anxious or nervous. You know, I sometimes get nervous around some of these things. And I slept really really well last night, and I think the days only confirmed that it's been a great day.
00:04:39
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:04:39
Speaker 1: I think I was just saying, Greg, the h Town.
00:04:42
Speaker 2: Blew the color rush. We all knew that that was going to have a positive reaction.
00:04:47
Speaker 1: It's awesome.
00:04:48
Speaker 2: The battle Red is really if I had to take a poll, I don't know which is in the lead right now, but the battle Red is really on fire with the.
00:04:55
Speaker 6: Fans well, And that was the thing that we knew that for the most part, most people hadn't seen it right, hadn't seen that helmet, and they didn't know quite what was gonna be there. And they're all red and the more vibrant color, and you know, I think there's something for everybody. Mark So maybe your own bottle red some people on as Town. I'm seeing a lot of love for the white uniforms. I'm seeing a lot of love for our normal blues. So that's kind of what we thought, is that there might be a little something for everybody, but that that red's pretty fire. And I know, I know my son's that's what he's on.
00:05:24
Speaker 4: Oh okay, Yeah, I just got the thumbs up from Los Angeles from my daughter. The red is her fet She absolutely loves her. Read my wife says the same thing. They both love the red. I want to get to a letter of the alphabet because it feels like no letter has ever made more noise in the city of Houston than the H. And what the age is gonna look like? And I remember as we're going through that process and we're thinking, what is this H gonna look like? And when I saw it for the first time, I went they nailed it. They nailed it. I think that's the most beautiful thing, the most beautiful age, and there's so many different things about it. As Doug pointed out in a video, how did we get to this age?
00:06:02
Speaker 3: And how happy are you with it?
00:06:03
Speaker 6: Well, I think as Doug, as you referenced Doug in the video that we released, and kind of goes the whole story behind all the uniforms, but particularly the age as well. You know, we had a very simple and traditional and we had been kind of testing that in some of the merchandise over the or some version of that over the last couple of years. And then you had this black letter version, which is kind of the you know, thee seemed like some of the hip hop albums and Rice and other things, and it's interesting and I probably would call myself a little bit more of a traditionalist. And but when we tested it from all different walks of life, and I had a chance to be in the room where people were saying, okay, we kind of were giving them a comparison of a more streamlined version or the version that we ultimately ended up with, and it was unanimous, all different walks of life, young, old, you know, different cultures. Everything that said, that's what we want to represent us and represent the city of Houston. And then just they are all little touches. I'm personally most fond of having the stars to the right of it, just because it connects our primary logo and that logo together, so there's some continuity.
00:07:06
Speaker 3: Greg.
00:07:06
Speaker 2: We did happen to notice that there was some activity at the Texans team shop today.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: We say it was massive, the turnout there.
00:07:15
Speaker 2: What can you share with us about that, well, I mean it was it was I could share that it was massive.
00:07:21
Speaker 6: There was a lot of folks there the merchandise. I think people were really enjoying all the options they had available. I know also on our online shop that was very active. You know, I don't want to get too far ahead of myselves, but we are We like to compete, right, We're an NFL team.
00:07:35
Speaker 7: We like to win.
00:07:36
Speaker 6: And we'll see what the final numbers are, but they're they're I think out of the uniforms that have been released in the last couple of weeks, our first day merchandise sales both at the store and online, we have a chance to be the number one. Uh I think we will be, but we'll we'll let that be confirmed. But of total sales of the new uniform, which just again speaks to the excitement and the energy around it.
00:07:57
Speaker 3: Greg.
00:07:58
Speaker 4: One of the moments in the video that that kind of struck me and I want to get your thoughts about because I thought I saw you. There was the trip to Beaverton to Nike YEP, Yep, what was that trip?
00:08:07
Speaker 5: Like?
00:08:07
Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, just going to the Nike campus, which seems enormous in this incredible campus, but then just to see them.
00:08:14
Speaker 6: For the first time, it was it was inspiring, I think is the word I would use, And just it was something that I'll probably never forget in my career. But just again having the mcnaire's and all the hard work that Kylan Hannah had done to kind of push the organization forward, push us forward, and to really be there and see them see the uniforms for the first time was probably the most special. But again, myself, Doug and a few of our folks from our creative team that had really done a tremendous amount of work. You know, it's just one of those things when they when they kind of pull them away and you you know what you think is going to be there because we've seen them on all all different types of graphics and things like that, but to see them live, it was a great day, something I'll never forget.
00:08:59
Speaker 2: Texan's president Greg Wristlom with us a couple more for you, Greg.
00:09:02
Speaker 5: All.
00:09:02
Speaker 2: Right after this, the week really slows down with a little event called the NFL Draft, Uh draft party Friday night. This is gonna be huge as well. I mean, this this week is off the chain. There are also other things going on involving partners and things right the general public might not know about.
00:09:20
Speaker 1: But I know it's a busy week. It's a busy week.
00:09:22
Speaker 6: But you know, we and I've loved announcing, you know, and launching these uniforms and all that the energy that that's created. But you know, I'm excited to get back to the draft and get back to some Johnny Harris football and and and you know see who new Texans are gonna be and and you know, I know, you know, the off season programs have started and so just you know, really getting back and I think coach Demico and Cal and Nick, hey, we're starting over right, We're We're we got to go earn it again. And that process has started with the off season and then the guys back in the building and the drafts another step. And to be there with all of our fans Friday night for our second third round picks at the Avanita will be great. And then really just get back to playing football and seeing how many w's we can put on the board.
00:10:05
Speaker 2: Am I right to presume that it'll be Liberty White at the Hall of Fame game.
00:10:11
Speaker 1: Is that the first UNI we're gonna see the team?
00:10:14
Speaker 6: You know, I think it's to be determined, Okay, you know, I don't. You know, it's an interesting question.
00:10:19
Speaker 1: The neutral site, the neutral.
00:10:21
Speaker 6: Site, So we haven't gotten that far down the roadbot So we'll see kind of where we go in the preseason, and then honestly with the schedule release, which is generally sometime in the second week in May, call it the second Thursday, May ninth ish. You know, that's not official by any means, but and I think from there, you know, we look at the theme dates and start kind of looking at uniform combinations for the opponents and seeing how all this comes to.
00:10:45
Speaker 3: Life for real. That is going to be a blast. Gregor want to ask you a last thing.
00:10:49
Speaker 4: Last year, one year ago, at this time, we're obviously thinking about that draft.
00:10:53
Speaker 3: It's funny.
00:10:54
Speaker 4: I've reached it for a jacket tonight what I was gonna wear, And I pulled out a jacket. I was like, man, I can feel something in the pocket. I reached in and pulled out and I had my twenty twenty three draft party pass oh, nice in my pocket and I was like, I'm.
00:11:07
Speaker 3: Hanging on it out. That was great. It's a good one. Glad that you didn't give it to the Drake Leaner.
00:11:10
Speaker 5: No.
00:11:11
Speaker 4: No, we're coming off three thirteen and one change coaches again, it's we're still not quite there.
00:11:18
Speaker 3: But we could see some of the seedlings.
00:11:20
Speaker 4: Then we have this draft and it turns a year later into all of this. I don't even know what really to ask, other than you see kind of a turnaround happening this fast, and where can this all go?
00:11:31
Speaker 1: Well?
00:11:33
Speaker 6: I would again, and I know I've said this a couple of times, but it's really true. I would really give a lot of credit to Klan Hannah and Janis McNair. You know, an overnight success, you know, three years in the making, I guess, but but you know that we did have some challenging times. But they had a plan and you know, they were really clear about what was expected from both us on the business side and from a fan perspective. And then you know what they were trying to build on the on the football side, and you know, reallyst off season, a lot of that started to culminate with the Miko, the draft, all the assets that Nick had pulled together over the last couple of years, and then you know some of the fun things that we've been doing on the on on the fans side, engaging the fans and really trying to do that. So you know, you never know how it's all gonna come together. So far, so good, but again it's it's really about to work, you know. At this point, Uh, we haven't won anything, and and I think we're excited about you know, doing that on and off the field and making sure this season as good as it possibly can be.
00:12:31
Speaker 1: Right, thanks a lot for joining us. Good luck today you guys.
00:12:33
Speaker 3: Enjoy all right.
00:12:34
Speaker 2: We're at the seven pe to three Music Hall for the Texans uniform reveal party, and it is a party.
00:12:40
Speaker 1: Inside.
00:12:41
Speaker 2: There's a big slab car in thereatful.
00:12:45
Speaker 4: I mean it's that red, it's the Battle Red. I mean it looks just fantastically. I mean it's it's so awesome.
00:12:53
Speaker 3: I mean it is really really cool. I want to drive it out of here, but I think it would be kind of obvious.
00:12:58
Speaker 1: They might frown on that kind of behavior. I'm thinking, well dry right around downtown kind of nice.
00:13:05
Speaker 2: I just love seeing the fans so happy at the store today. They were so happy buying up new jerseys, and fans are porn in here wearing the so called old stuff, right, which is certainly welcomed. All right, you invested in that product, wear it, enjoy.
00:13:19
Speaker 8: It, have it.
00:13:21
Speaker 2: The new stuff is available as well. I thought the store would sell out in seconds, but they just kept on bringing out more inventory, more inventory, more inventory. So it all worked out that way. But Johnny, we do have a draft to get ready for. We did that is awesome, and I think I said it was it last week.
00:13:37
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know.
00:13:38
Speaker 2: If we're not you, but we collectively are excited enough for this draft. This draft, you're gonna have new players, like Greg said, new Texans on the way, and this is gonna be cool. Think of what Nick Caserio can do with two second round draft picks. Think of what he did in a draft where in twenty twenty one, whether Texans didn't have a first or second round pick, and you got guy like Nico.
00:14:01
Speaker 1: Collins, among others.
00:14:02
Speaker 2: And Nico is a guy that we desperately want to see remain in Houston, Texan going into twenty twenty five, because this is the last year of his rookie deal. So there's a lot to watch out for. There are a lot of attractive names that they can get that can really help this team as much as they've helped themselves in free agency, there's still so much on the table that we don't know. Players you don't know right now, well you know them, but players you don't know that will be Texans could play a major role in what goes down this season.
00:14:31
Speaker 3: You know, I always think about that going into the draft.
00:14:34
Speaker 4: You know, which of these names do you look at it and go, Okay, this guy he could be a Texan.
00:14:39
Speaker 3: What's that gonna look like? What's it gonna look like?
00:14:40
Speaker 4: In November, we're getting ready for a game and he's starting at cornerback or wide receiver.
00:14:45
Speaker 3: He fits a tackle, And I always that's.
00:14:48
Speaker 4: Just such a I don't know, I love that feeling of Okay, this guy's gonna be with us.
00:14:52
Speaker 3: And I remember having this feeling.
00:14:53
Speaker 4: We went to the Combine at twenty three, so not this past year, but the year before, and I remember I wanted to just see.
00:14:59
Speaker 3: Willy Anderson live to something.
00:15:01
Speaker 4: I was so excited to just see him live, and he.
00:15:05
Speaker 3: He didn't he didn't run or didn't work out, he saved it for his pro day. So I wasn't I was.
00:15:11
Speaker 4: I was just like, dang it, man, I wanted to see that guy live. I wanted to see what he looked like. Then we end up drafting him, and now not only do we get to see him, we get to see him play for us winning the game. And I'm trying to talk as we're taking pictures, proposing for pictures, also talking about Will Anderson Junior. But the fact is getting a chance to see these guys turn into what they turned into really really cool. And you know, as we're sitting with these guys, you know, a few weeks ago, we're up on the roof here and we're just talking to him. They've got the new jerseys on and they're just loving new jerseys. But he just sensed this excitement for what is happening with this organization, with this city.
00:15:51
Speaker 3: And I know there are times when when people.
00:15:55
Speaker 4: Say to me, oh, you guys are homers talking about this and that and all that kind of stuff, And I'm like, you know what, yeah, because you get on this train now and you see what excitement can bring.
00:16:04
Speaker 3: And it's like we were down in the.
00:16:07
Speaker 4: Dumps for you know, four win seasons, three win seasons, all the stuff off the field to get to this point and to see these fans walking in and be so happy and so excited, like you said earlier, is one of the coolest things I can think of.
00:16:21
Speaker 3: And I said this to you up there, like, you know what, Yeah.
00:16:23
Speaker 4: The Jewses are great. You know, I don't think about the jerseys all that much. You don't think about the draft and all that. But to see how happy people are about this organization and what they're doing is really really cool.
00:16:34
Speaker 2: So I like to rank things or at least assess where they stand.
00:16:39
Speaker 1: And we talked about last off season. Was that the greatest offseason.
00:16:43
Speaker 2: They've ever had the organization When you think about CJ, when you think about Will Anderson, I mean, that's unbelievable what they pulled off there alone, and the free agent signings and then the result of it. But it all started with the hiring of Demico. But this offseason people have asked me, like, where does this stack up and everything, And it kind of reminded me in a way because there's always gonna be apples to oranges here, but the apples are You're coming off a divisional round appearance and you have a ton of momentum going into the next year. So it reminds me in that way of twenty twelve. But and as exciting as that was, I really think that this is another dimension because all right, you have an outstanding free agent class.
00:17:28
Speaker 1: You know, you have a quarterback, you know, you have year or two of Demico.
00:17:31
Speaker 2: It's also fresh still and speaking of fresh, the new uniforms, the rebrand, it's incredible, the truckload of momentum you have going now.
00:17:42
Speaker 1: And of course it's all about backing it up.
00:17:44
Speaker 2: But I'm talking about where you stand now in the off season and we haven't even had the draft yet.
00:17:48
Speaker 3: Yeah.
00:17:48
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and to see you know, it's it's gonna be interesting because you know, a lot a lot of training camps are a lot of first few, you know, first game, you know, the preseason games.
00:17:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you want to look for?
00:17:59
Speaker 4: You know, you're not gonna see this artists for much, but it's gonna be cool to see Danil Hunter in a uniform, you know, all this kind of stuff.
00:18:04
Speaker 3: And then on top of that, you're gonna be looking at them.
00:18:06
Speaker 4: In new uniforms down in the field. So there's so much to be looking for with this team early on in the preseason Hall of Fame game, and I don't think we'll see a lot of the guys that night.
00:18:17
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll just wear the jerseys because they want to look good at them and.
00:18:19
Speaker 2: See what jerseys. I brought up a good question, Johnny, what's that? What jerseys?
00:18:24
Speaker 1: Well, they wear that night, it's either Liberty white or the deep Steel blue. It's not gonna be one of the other. No, it's one of those. Witch is it being a neutral sight? I just want to don't.
00:18:34
Speaker 3: I mean, either way, it's good. I mean, I don't.
00:18:36
Speaker 4: I don't mind if they I've always liked the I like the road uni that the deep Sea of blue with the Liberty White. I like that combo. You know, we weren't a playoff game. I like that, and I like the combo when I see it. I think that was the picture that that cal put out. Oh yeah, when the first League happy. Yeah, I like that. I think that's what we're wearing. I like the Yeah, the new one of that is really cool, right, I love that design. All right, let's see what they wear.
00:19:02
Speaker 2: It'll be August first, but we have a lot to talk about between now and then, including we'll talk to the mcnairs that is coming up, among other things. Here from seven to three Music Hall for the Texans Uniform Reveal party. We are presented by you r Houston area Ford Dealers. It's Texans Radio presented by your Houston area Ford Dealers, Mark Vandamer and John Harris. At the Texans Revealed Party. We are having fun here at seven and to three Music Hall down at the Post Downtown. This is such a cool facility all the way through and this music hall is outstanding.
00:19:35
Speaker 1: The Houston Sports Awards were here. They have a lot of other events here. Yeah, that was I didn't.
00:19:39
Speaker 4: Realize there were I didn't realize. I walked in where the slab was, slab car was over here. I look back. I didn't realize they've got all these seats up here.
00:19:47
Speaker 1: Yeah they there.
00:19:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got a falcony whatever they call it.
00:19:51
Speaker 3: That is real.
00:19:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is really nice. I mean, I'd love to see a musical act here. I've been here several times. We were considering this as a draft party location, but that didn't happen. Instead decided to do the reveal party here. So that's super cool.
00:20:04
Speaker 4: So this So this party was started six thirty, right, it's six six twenty five and people have been pouring in for forty five minutes.
00:20:12
Speaker 2: No, I think I think seven officially, Johnny, if I'm not mistaken, I think, Okay.
00:20:16
Speaker 1: I don't know.
00:20:16
Speaker 3: They're just letting people pour in.
00:20:18
Speaker 2: Cal and Hannah mcnare gonna join us at about six thirty, we hear, so we'll find out. Uh.
00:20:24
Speaker 1: I saw one of the coaches from my flag football.
00:20:27
Speaker 2: League with my my my eleven year old team, and he said, we're gonna get you next time because we beat him on opening day. But we just lost last week and we got fat and happy and lost. So I told him, I said, listen, we're vulnerable now. I cannot have this. So, you know, I feel like getting this new deep steel blue look for the team or something.
00:20:46
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe we can do.
00:20:48
Speaker 3: Name of what's your team name? Are you?
00:20:50
Speaker 8: Tell?
00:20:50
Speaker 1: Gosh?
00:20:50
Speaker 4: You know what?
00:20:50
Speaker 2: They wanted to call it the Bolt, the Riz or the Wrizzlers, because like that's the thing.
00:20:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
00:20:57
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you guys are eleven.
00:20:59
Speaker 2: Can we just calm down a bit here because we're we all.
00:21:03
Speaker 1: Have team numbers so and we and it used to be an NFL league.
00:21:08
Speaker 5: Right now.
00:21:08
Speaker 2: No, no, we used to do that, but we haven't done that anymore. Last year we're the Buccaneers. Oh we we were the Browns forever when the Browns were horrible because I you know, they ran out.
00:21:20
Speaker 1: Of Texans gear one year.
00:21:21
Speaker 2: So the guy just gave me the Browns, and I thought, man, and they were awful.
00:21:25
Speaker 1: But I said, listen, no one will see us coming. They won't see us coming.
00:21:29
Speaker 5: Now.
00:21:30
Speaker 2: I would never pick that, obviously, for obvious reasons. I would never pick that. But we'll see what happens with that. And no one wants to hear about my flag football coaching, but they do want to hear about the Houston Texans and how they fit in in this uniform derby with the rest of the league. Look, I saw the Broncos yesterday, all right. I've seen some of the other unveils. I saw the Jets, I saw the Lions, all right. I do think the Texans are tracking ahead of those organizations, so they might win this thing for the off season, the unofficial off season uniform switch competition.
00:22:06
Speaker 4: Here here are my rankings, all right, ours one the two Lions, the Lions, Lions class.
00:22:12
Speaker 3: I love the blue, I love the classic look. I love that. I think it's what they needed.
00:22:16
Speaker 4: And then Rod Wood told Dan Campbell, you gotta win a division and then we'll.
00:22:22
Speaker 3: Get the black Back. They got the black Back.
00:22:24
Speaker 4: With like a you know, a like a different colored blue, almost like a teal blue. Jets are close to the lines. I like the I like the Jets going back to the future. The Jets black UNI, Oh my goodness, that things beauty. And the Broncos are like how far down you can go?
00:22:42
Speaker 3: Now? Now the retro Bronco UNI.
00:22:44
Speaker 4: He's bringing back the O g unis the orange with the light blue helmet with the D on it. Now, those are those are fire. But the new ones that they I don't know what they did with those. I don't know what happened.
00:22:57
Speaker 2: A fan brought this up with me that the Steelers really don't change. They tweaked, they don't change the numbers. The Dolphins really tweak and they don't change. Teams that have won multiple Super Bowls tend not to change, right, The Patriots didn't change after they won a Super Bowl, right. I think they tweaked after that first one. But they really look basically the same. So the question was, had we won a super Bowl, would we be doing this? And I can't answer that because I wish we had won a super Bowl so we could find out. But I'd love to win one of these now that we've changed. But look at it this way. The Bucks change, they win a super Bowl. It was a few years, but they won one. The Broncos change, they won a Super Bowl and they had been to four and lost in the old uniforms because Craig Morton in the seventies don three with L Way.
00:23:47
Speaker 1: They lost.
00:23:48
Speaker 2: Then they went two with Lway and that's how that went down. So you have to look at it like that. Oh my gosh, and we are we're greeted by a model, one of the of the new gear.
00:24:01
Speaker 1: Oh yes, and her name is Hannah McNair.
00:24:04
Speaker 3: Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa what are you talking about? Oh he's not wearing a hat that he wore the other day. He's as good a model as we have had in this whole thing. And that's mister McNab.
00:24:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, the chairman CEO. Kids wear the h Town blue.
00:24:17
Speaker 3: Are they wearing everything?
00:24:18
Speaker 1: Hannah, the McNair kids.
00:24:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, new battle red. I've got the battle Red, I've got the h Town blue, the color Rush jersey. And Cal put the hat on top of the headset, which.
00:24:29
Speaker 7: You know that it's not a good fit.
00:24:32
Speaker 3: It's okay.
00:24:33
Speaker 2: When we're in the broadcast food that it's zero degrees, I put the hat on, then the headset over it. Sometimes that works, so welcome Cal and Hannah McNair. Congratulations, what a great day.
00:24:42
Speaker 1: How is your debt so far?
00:24:44
Speaker 7: It's been busy, full and a lot of fun, A lot of fun.
00:24:48
Speaker 4: How many text messages have you gotten from people just saying congratulations, this is awesome.
00:24:53
Speaker 3: They're excited about being Texas.
00:24:54
Speaker 9: Misam a lot, a lot, yeah, one hundred, I don't know, a lot. Trying to keep it that it's really hard.
00:25:01
Speaker 4: Okay, So how many bullet holes did you actually leave in Landry this morning? Bullet hole verbal bullet holes is because you came in with the receipts and that was kind of it was awesome to hear.
00:25:15
Speaker 3: But I know you, I know you guys. You fight about the Hayshtown blue.
00:25:19
Speaker 4: Thing and all that, but just seeing the one thing I asked Greg was when you guys weren't have to Beaverton. It saw for the first time. What were your thoughts, like you're seeing the first new jersey, what were.
00:25:29
Speaker 3: You guys thinking you saw for the first time.
00:25:31
Speaker 7: I was thinking all those bullet holes were earned.
00:25:37
Speaker 1: It was there.
00:25:39
Speaker 2: What was the difference in seeing the uniforms in design versus on the players or I would say models, But it's definitely better.
00:25:47
Speaker 1: On the players.
00:25:48
Speaker 7: Well, uh, definitely. It's a whole other experience on the players and either just a mock up or a drawing or on someone else. So seeing it on a player really puts it into action and then you get to see it come in to lag that way.
00:26:02
Speaker 2: What about you, Hannah, see design versus in the flesh, so to speak.
00:26:07
Speaker 9: I think on the players, it just gets it a whole different element, like Kyle said, and you get to see them on the field. You get to imagine that feeling on game day where they're wearing those uniforms. So when they're in a you just put yourself in that stadium with those guys in those uniforms, and you just get that stadium feeling, that game day feeling.
00:26:26
Speaker 1: And you're ready to go.
00:26:27
Speaker 9: I feel like that's what I see when I look at these pictures and videos of them in it.
00:26:31
Speaker 3: So we've had this day circle for a while.
00:26:32
Speaker 4: When you're about the party ten o'clock videos are going out and the world's going to see these things.
00:26:38
Speaker 3: I mean, it are some it'd seen some of them, but I had seen everything.
00:26:42
Speaker 4: What are y'all feeling this morning when you're kind of like, what's the reaction going to be? Did you guys have any worries about it? Were you anxious about it? What are you kind of thinking as ten o'clock rolled around? Was it more excitement than anxiety?
00:26:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm definitely more excitement. We've had gotten some feedback from the leagues of course that we're produced out. We were looking for a plumber but couldn't quite find one. But yeah, but we're really excited for ten o'clock to roll around and we could show everyone, you know, the full closet and and so that was something we're really looking forward to.
00:27:13
Speaker 9: We're expecting mixed reviews, as you normally get that with any reveal. Some people don't like change, but really overwhelmingly it's been really positive.
00:27:24
Speaker 1: I was asked what we'd be wearing in.
00:27:26
Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame game, and I thought, if I had a choice, I might say the Liberty white, just to you know, lead with.
00:27:32
Speaker 9: That one, kind of like Andre choose.
00:27:36
Speaker 1: I I like this meeting here.
00:27:37
Speaker 4: Yes, I got a feeling that Andre is gonna pick that one, because every single player we talked to I like that the color Rush one.
00:27:45
Speaker 3: Every one of them was like this one is. I wonder.
00:27:47
Speaker 9: I wonder if there's requirement, like if that goes against our what our closet can do, like if it's pre season, if it's a Hall of Fame game, because it's so out of the ordinary.
00:27:59
Speaker 10: So I don't know if the preseason counts, so we can wear whatever we want.
00:28:03
Speaker 7: So I'm not sure, but I think that's right. But my gut tells me this will be a visiting trip, so we'd be in our white jerseys. But I don't know for sure.
00:28:11
Speaker 2: Maybe, but I like the way you say that, Hannah, what are closets can provide?
00:28:15
Speaker 4: That's kind of interesting now that we've got a full closet of new uniforms.
00:28:19
Speaker 2: I love the gear associated though, because Hannah's wearing the jacket right now and it's beautiful.
00:28:25
Speaker 9: I was just talking about you.
00:28:29
Speaker 1: Probably can't. Okay, no one can hear a thing in here unless you have the headset on. But Hall of Famer that that is so special. Though, what a year cal that you have?
00:28:40
Speaker 2: This, You have the draft coming up, which I don't know if we've been talking enough about the draft with everything else that is going on, and you have Adrey Johnson going into the halls.
00:28:48
Speaker 1: The first Texas.
00:28:49
Speaker 5: It's a good year.
00:28:50
Speaker 7: It's a good year. Let's keep it going. Had a great off season, a number of really good free agents coming in the Hall of Fame the Jersey and now let's roll into the draft and have a great draft and let's just keep the ball going.
00:29:05
Speaker 2: How will you spend Thursday night the first round, because we were talking to.
00:29:09
Speaker 1: Nick about it. You guys don't have a pick, but you never know, right, So how does all that work? That process? Well, we'll be in the draft room.
00:29:19
Speaker 7: We'll be in the draft room and we'll be watching the draft, and that'll affect what happens on the second day. And you never know. Nick can trade up, he can trade down if there's no telling what he was gonna do.
00:29:28
Speaker 9: So we got a guy like Nico Collins when we didn't have a first or second room.
00:29:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, traded up into.
00:29:35
Speaker 3: The route exactly.
00:29:37
Speaker 9: So, I mean, you never know what can happen. But if you're watching the board and you're watching your guys, guys, you may.
00:29:42
Speaker 4: Like, we know, not to take a bathroom break at any point where we possibly could like it to wait. We're well schooled on Nick Casario drafts. We know anything can happen at any time. And I swear last year I saw you guys on stage, you know, probably an hour or so after that happened. I don't know that I've experienced anything like CJ. Strauby drafted in a trade to get Will Anderson. I don't know what y'all were thinking at a time, and you guys were probably the draft room like watching all fold.
00:30:09
Speaker 3: But for us, I mean that was incredible wash during that draft.
00:30:12
Speaker 8: Body.
00:30:12
Speaker 10: Yeah, we were in the draft room and it was all business though right then, right like you don't there's not a big roar in there like what there was where you guys were.
00:30:23
Speaker 9: I mean, we were all cheering, very excited, but the energy that was coming back into that room from the feedback we were getting from people who were with y'all.
00:30:32
Speaker 1: Was so contagious.
00:30:33
Speaker 9: That we wanted to be back there with everyone.
00:30:36
Speaker 2: What is the role tonight here at this reveal party for the two of you? Are you going up on stage? What is going to happen? What can you tell us about the jury?
00:30:45
Speaker 9: Locker is coming out in our home uniform.
00:30:48
Speaker 3: That's what you have to do.
00:30:49
Speaker 4: You have to get a bet with Landry and then that's what you win. If you loses the bets, he's got to wear that unifor.
00:30:54
Speaker 9: Why would I give him some of them that nice because he doesn't think it's nice.
00:30:59
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're we're here. I'm not sure how long we're gonna be here.
00:31:03
Speaker 5: We're going to be here for a while.
00:31:05
Speaker 7: And I did they do want us on stage to say about a line or two and but we're excited for the uniforms and for everyone to come out and experience.
00:31:13
Speaker 2: Great to see the kids out here tonight. How's the athletic competition going, Hannah?
00:31:17
Speaker 1: How are the teams?
00:31:19
Speaker 9: Oh, the teams are all doing really really well. Calhoun's last tournament, actually the last tournament the boys were in.
00:31:25
Speaker 1: All of them made it to the championship, which was.
00:31:27
Speaker 9: Really quite fun. Calhoun's team, he almost pitched a no hitter until the last inning of the championship game hit a home run. I think on the weekend his team had sixteen home runs, which was phenomenal. It was rainy, it was so much fun. I know, right, it was exciting. You've never experienced anything like.
00:31:48
Speaker 3: How many games would you have? All told?
00:31:50
Speaker 9: Oh, that's too for Calhoun that weekend had five. Robert that weekend had five in two days, so that's ten, Michael.
00:32:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, It just it just gets kind of.
00:32:02
Speaker 2: So your off season is not stress free as far as watching games.
00:32:05
Speaker 1: You have a different kind of stress watching the kids play, right, but it's a fun stress us.
00:32:12
Speaker 7: Right, it's months as long as the wines exactly right.
00:32:17
Speaker 2: Answer of the day. Thank you very much, Callan Hanna for joining us today.
00:32:21
Speaker 1: Congratulate anything else. Yeah, but let's just sit out and talk now. Let's we want to know. We want to know second round. We got two bags. We want to know all of it. And I also, you know what I'm thinking about. The theme days.
00:32:34
Speaker 2: Are going to be really interesting to decide when do you wear the color rush, when do you wear battle red? And we want to see what we have in prime time because how many.
00:32:43
Speaker 1: Will it be? Did they give you any kind of clue.
00:32:45
Speaker 2: As to how many front time games or you just have to wait like everybody else.
00:32:49
Speaker 7: I think we've earned a few primetime games. So we'll see what happens. But we'll find out a little bit before everyone else.
00:32:56
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, So when the kids, when the kids were like, mom and dad, I want that jersey or I want that piece of merch.
00:33:05
Speaker 3: What did they ask for me?
00:33:07
Speaker 1: They asked, actually they asked which the.
00:33:12
Speaker 3: One they wanted.
00:33:12
Speaker 9: First, Robert Michael wanted the h Town okay, but then they start, you know, I want h Town in this number. I want the white one in this number.
00:33:25
Speaker 1: I want that, you know.
00:33:25
Speaker 9: So they kind of go down the list, and.
00:33:28
Speaker 2: I wanted the home jersey because that's yes, absolutely deep steel blue tradition.
00:33:35
Speaker 1: All right, Well, thanks so much for joining us. We appreciate it.

Speaker 8: What do you think I think it's dope, man. I think the whole look, you know, in all the uniforms are really good looking. My favorite is the red helmet. Yeah, okay, I love I love how that even in the h time helmet. I love how it has the red flakes in it.
00:35:29
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:35:30
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it's really good looking, man, I'm excited about it, Dre.
00:35:34
Speaker 4: One of the things about that red helmet is the red chrome face mask, which I can't remember where we had last year, but we didn't have that. We all red chrome, but that red chrome face mask, it just seems like it completes like that that uniform, that red uniform.
00:35:48
Speaker 3: I didn't know how it's gonna feel, Dre.
00:35:51
Speaker 4: You guys wore the red ketchup bottles, you know seven That's what I called them, the ketchup bottles, and no seven, I don't call them that now.
00:35:58
Speaker 3: But what was your fa What was your favorite uniform combination that you guys wore?
00:36:02
Speaker 5: Was the read No I was. I was a fan of all blue.
00:36:06
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, that was my favorite. Jode were the playoff game right play the first playoff game.
00:36:12
Speaker 1: Really, I don't think so.
00:36:16
Speaker 5: Yet.
00:36:18
Speaker 2: I know that, you know, yeah, you know, I don't remember uniform combinations that way.
00:36:22
Speaker 3: I don't remember everything I.
00:36:23
Speaker 1: Remember over the night. I'll tell you one other thing I remember, and this came up.
00:36:27
Speaker 2: I was on the Afternoon Show today and they asked me about uniform design and other places. Well, with the hurricanes in your era, they were experimenting with the green and different things because that wasn't a traditional Miami color, right, it was orange usually with the white.
00:36:43
Speaker 1: So what was that like?
00:36:44
Speaker 2: Because you guys had a lot of cool different ones with the stripes. But I remember some of the purists were reacting to those.
00:36:50
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was a I think the thing was when we got the green uniforms. Everybody was super excited because it was always orange and white. Yeah, and you know the uniforms had changed right before. No, I actually changed it when I got there. So well, my first year we had still had the older uniform So my second year was when we started winning the newer uniforms, and I mean, guys were super excited.
00:37:14
Speaker 5: Guys always wanted to be in green.
00:37:16
Speaker 2: Yeah really yeah really for the all white like at Penn State opener in two thousand and one, all.
00:37:22
Speaker 1: White and just running right by them. That was awesome.
00:37:25
Speaker 3: That I was that all. I was sweet, There's no doubt, Dredy major trip to Canton. Yeah, how'd that go? How was it?
00:37:30
Speaker 5: It was fun? Man?
00:37:32
Speaker 8: Did the orientation just pretty much found out everything that's gonna.
00:37:36
Speaker 5: Be going on.
00:37:36
Speaker 8: During the days that I'm there, I got to go around the city a little bit, meet some people.
00:37:44
Speaker 5: It was fun.
00:37:45
Speaker 8: Got to hang out with the guys Hester and well it was four of us there at the time. Patrick and Julius had came the week before, so you know, we got to hang out with the guys and just catch up. Man was it was a great time time. I think probably the craziest moment for me was walking into.
00:38:05
Speaker 1: That room with all the bush Yeah.
00:38:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, so like to be in there.
00:38:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, so you know, you actually they told us this year this will be the first class they they actually let hang their.
00:38:15
Speaker 5: Bus in that room.
00:38:17
Speaker 8: So yeah, so that's gonna be Uh, that's gonna be pretty cool.
00:38:21
Speaker 2: So that well, they might have to move it to Cleveland. All of Houston is going to see you get inducted. Everybody I talked to plans on being there.
00:38:29
Speaker 5: Yeah.
00:38:30
Speaker 8: When I was there, one of the guys asked me who works with the Hall of Fame. He was like, how do you think Houston is going to show up? And I told him, I was like, man, listen, I was like, especially with us having that Hall of Fame game, Oh yeah yeah.
00:38:45
Speaker 5: I told her.
00:38:46
Speaker 8: I was like, it's gonna be crazy. Like everybody I talked to, even just you know, I went back home for the spring game.
00:38:52
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago that you were coaching, right, yeah.
00:38:55
Speaker 5: Me and Hester was out there. It was actually pretty cool.
00:38:59
Speaker 8: Uh, you know, just to get to be around the guys. Going back to the alumni dinner. It was a great man hanging out with Mike. You know, it was Michael.
00:39:07
Speaker 5: It was cool man. So it was a lot of fun.
00:39:09
Speaker 1: Hey, one more for you.
00:39:10
Speaker 2: Stefive Digs signs with the Texas and this is a pretty good pass catching crew already. So what do you think of the addition of him.
00:39:17
Speaker 8: I think it just makes us better. You know, I felt like we already had a great group of receivers, and I think it just makes the group better. It creates competition in the room, and it just helps everybody elevate their game.
00:39:33
Speaker 5: I think, you.
00:39:34
Speaker 8: Know, him coming in is going to push the guys to be, you know, better, players, So it should be a lot of fun.
00:39:41
Speaker 5: Man.
00:39:41
Speaker 8: I'm really really looking forward to this season and to see how, you know, CJ. Comes in and sophomore year and all that stuff. So, I mean football football is great, you know, to have it back with the excitement in Houston right now is man.
00:39:57
Speaker 5: I'm anxious. I feel like I want to go.
00:40:00
Speaker 4: Probably we're probably good still, come on, Yeah, I got some first I've ever talked to you.
00:40:06
Speaker 3: Said I can go play three plays? Yeah, three plays. You can go play at least. I know you're thinking more, but you can at least do.
00:40:12
Speaker 1: Three getting the slot, work the middle. Come on, no one's gonna hit you anymore league, No one can hit you slot. You know you got another interview.
00:40:22
Speaker 2: Tanks a lot for joining us, take care and Johnson Hall of Famer and so crazy to say it. I'm telling you it's so great because you know, I saw him get inducted into the Hurricanes Hall of Fame ten years ago. It was exactly ten years ago, Johnny that he went in to them. You're going to that, I remember and I did Texans all Access from there, and it was poortous.
00:40:45
Speaker 1: Went in that day. James Jones went in that day when he talked about.
00:40:48
Speaker 4: The when he mentioned the Hurricane alumni dinner, I just went, WHOA some reason that hit me like that must be one of the coolest events. And you just look around and go Hall of Famer, Hall of Famer, Hall of Famer, and now you can put it Dre and goal hall of Famer as well.
00:41:03
Speaker 1: So pretty it's it's nuts.
00:41:06
Speaker 2: And this off season and leading into the season is so full. My heart is full, the plate is full, the cup runneth over, however you want to describe it, because you think about everything we've got coming up here, the draft and the schedule release, and before you know it, camp starts early, and who knows what they're gonna do with that. There was a report that the Rams are coming in for practice. I don't know if we confirm that or whatever, but you know, and who knows what else, because you know you're going to Campton for that Hall of Fame game, and that could lead to all sorts of cool stuff.
00:41:37
Speaker 1: So I cannot wait for that four preseason.
00:41:41
Speaker 2: Game slate, getting into the regular season and all of it. Johnny, I'm getting impatient. Come on, let's go, let's play right now. Yeah, wait at night I gotta play this weekend.
00:41:51
Speaker 3: There's always an excitement from us.
00:41:52
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously get excited for the draft, but I think anybody, anybody and everybody that I talk to, yeah, no matter where they live, they're like, man, you gotta be excited. And I'm like yeah, And I mean, I I try to control it because I know it's such a once we get into the season, it.
00:42:10
Speaker 3: Is a long grind no matter how good it is. Incredible last year was incredible. It was a grind. Man.
00:42:18
Speaker 4: In November, you and I look at each other like, all right, just do this again because we had our early buy so we were playing like twelve straight so you just had to keep going and going and going. Uh And that was long, but man, it was fun. And I think that's the way this year can be. Once you get to camp, like all right, buckle up. It's football season until February. And that's the way we gotta start thinking, like januiny no, no, no, we gotta be thinking about this thing ends in February.
00:42:45
Speaker 3: That's the way things got like that. That's the way we gotta look at.
00:42:47
Speaker 2: Also got to think that the most important things are the first things, and the first things are crucial to get those right. This is gonna be really interesting for Jamiko Ryans last year. You come in, you try to build something up, and you're still trying to build something up here, of course, but you have all these expectations, and I think it's harder than ever for teams to tune out the noise. You know, you can't then go back talking to Andre where he was really avoiding newspapers and radio shows and everything when he was in his Heisman campaign. But it was a different era because now just you get push notifications.
00:43:22
Speaker 1: Popping right to your phone.
00:43:24
Speaker 3: You walk to the grocery store and somebody's taking a picture of you.
00:43:26
Speaker 2: Hey man, picture with that picture is everywhere everywhere, I mean before the smartphone taking a picture and you got a camera.
00:43:32
Speaker 1: No, all right, well I guess no picture. I mean, it's it's hard to remember that.
00:43:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, and kids today are growing up in an era where you can't imagine not having a camera with you and video camera at all times.
00:43:46
Speaker 4: And you're right, it puts that much more pressure every single week, and especially with what's been done this offseason with adding Daniel Hunter, adding Asease, resigning Dalton, bringing to Joe Mixon trading for digs. All these names that people know not only here in Houston but throughout the league that are.
00:44:04
Speaker 3: Now all in Houston. It's it's ramping up the pressure wherever you go.
00:44:08
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, South said it last night when I was talking to him.
00:44:12
Speaker 3: I put you.
00:44:12
Speaker 4: Guys in that category right behind Kansas City and Baltimore.
00:44:16
Speaker 3: Like, why STU you? We were thirty first in power rankings.
00:44:19
Speaker 2: So I mean, I think so he just dropped the Bills down because of what they going.
00:44:23
Speaker 4: To got the bills with US and the Bengals, Oh, we're looking at kind of second tiers like first tier Kansas City, Baltimore that weren't that kind of we're that second tier.
00:44:32
Speaker 1: I get it.
00:44:32
Speaker 3: Bill's Bengals and US get it.
00:44:34
Speaker 4: I don't disagree with him, I really don't.
00:44:38
Speaker 2: But it's wild and surreal and compare to last year, I know, but it's this time last.
00:44:43
Speaker 3: Year we're looking at thirty first in the power rankings. So the team worse than US was Arizona.
00:44:47
Speaker 1: But it's important to remember everything that went into it because.
00:44:49
Speaker 2: Exactly the regular with a win or go home scenario and what.
00:44:56
Speaker 1: If you lose.
00:44:56
Speaker 2: Look, they didn't lose that game. What if you lost that game though, how you feel right now? You're nine and eight, but you'd feel great about having a winning season. Just too bad you couldn't beat the Colts in the clutch. But they did beat the Colts.
00:45:07
Speaker 1: In the clutch.
00:45:07
Speaker 4: So I like watching the behind the scenes stuff. The Colts do a pretty good job with their behind the scenes. Like, yeah, you know, I can't remember that building the Colts.
00:45:14
Speaker 3: I think it is what they call them.
00:45:15
Speaker 4: So the first the first episode, they flash ut Lucas oil and then it says January sixth, twenty twenty four.
00:45:22
Speaker 3: Ooh, and I'm like, oh, I know that date.
00:45:25
Speaker 4: And immediately the next shot they show is the forest Buckner on the sideline and you see him go there, it is, there, it is. And then Goodson drops the ball. They show that, and they don't show him dropping the ball, but they you see the reaction on the sideline right, and I just went this is awesome.
00:45:40
Speaker 3: And so in the locker room you can just see, you know, them.
00:45:42
Speaker 4: Dealing with that loss, and I'm like, there was so much joy in the other locker room. There was I mean, I've never been around more joy after a game. It was incredible and to experience that and then go, you know what, We're we're better. You guys had your shot. That's the way we got to think. You guys had your shot. We're now we're light years away from you guys. I fear the Colts still, but that's the way we have to think, is that we're moving beyond the Colts being in our rearview.
00:46:11
Speaker 2: It's respect everybody because they're on your schedule twice so and I know you know that, I know you know that. All right, thank you Chris for producing tonight.
