Also: Taylor Swift is brilliant. You can hate the music but the lyrics are genius. She’s writes her own and if you just read the lyrics like poetry she’d be an historical level poet. She’s a song writing master.
In the last 7 seasons, the Astros are 79-39 vs. Texas. In the 7 seasons prior to that, the Rangers were 67-27 vs. HOU. Two 7 season stretches where each team is 40 games over .500 against the other. They are 106-106 against each other in the last 14 years. And now the ALCS.
Smoltz says “The Texas Rangers were kinda built to be here” then they go off on how amazing it is Arizona is here after losing 110 games two years ago. The same year Texas lost 102.
Yes, it is official. I am now with

from 10a-1p. My home, the station I grew up listening to. Today is a dream come true for me. The excitement is overwhelming.
Very excited about this! Birmingham is one of my favorite places, I loved being there and I'm excited to return to the heartbeat of college football world. This is going to be a lot of fun, can't wait to reconnect with so many of you!
I was there as a kid in ‘84, we sucked. We went 1-9 in 3 playoffs in 96/98/99. Didn’t go again until ‘10. ONE stroke away TWICE in ‘11. And now…WE ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!! WORLD SERIES CHAMPION TEXAS RANGERS!!!
It was weird to be the lone person who picked Bama to win this game. Spent a lot of time this week researching and watching stuff, broke it down on the show for three days, laying out my case for why I thought Bama would win. They did exactly that. Thanks for listening this week.
Auburn scores 2 points in 7 minutes. They go 1-8 from the field in a 9 minute window and turn it over 5 times in that time. But, it’s the refs fault. 🙄
First 3 years in the NFL:
Dak: 11820 total yards, 85TDs, 39TOs, 96.0 RTG, sacked 119 times
Russ: 11827 total yards, 83 TDs, 40TOs, 98.7 RTG, sacked 113 times
In Birmingham, Alabama, I just saw a Luka Doncic jersey walk by and a different guy in a Stars hat. 🤯🤯. At the same brewery!! Never seen that before and I’m hoping the sports gods are sending me a message.
Thanks to
@bracketdan
and
@NotJackKemp
for having me in this week. And to all you P1’s for allowing me to intrude on your week a bit. See ya next time! Maybe.
I have been alive for around 16,350 days. Tonight, for just the 3rd day ever, I will go to sleep knowing the Texas Rangers can win the World Series tomorrow.

Birmingham is an underrated beer city, especially for the convenience of the city breweries in relation to each other and the quality. Plus, food here is elite. Plan a trip. You won’t regret it.
Went to my first Rangers game when I was 5 years old. In the 80s, My favorite players used to be Pete O’Brien, Oddibe McDowell, Pete Incaviglia. I was at their first ever home playoff game in ‘96. I cried in 2011. Here we are in 2023. The childhood dream still alive! Let’s win it
I wish I had lived a life of such perfection and no mistakes that I could judge Tiger and root against him. What bliss those people must function in. But, instead, I root for a flawed man whose transgressions have been amplified a million times more than I hope mine ever are.
My radio journey: 10 stations in 22 years that covered 26 different addresses. A lot of gratitude and appreciation for the journey and the people I've known along the way. Stay positive, believe in yourself and spend time with people who lift you up. Keep grinding.
Alabama AD Greg Byrne tells ESPN, "Given the gravity of the situation and out of respect for the judicial process, I'd urge everyone to defer to the facts provided by law enforcement rather than relying on social media or other snippets of information that lack context.”
It’s October 7, today is the last JaM Session on ESPN radio. I hope you’ll join us at 9am. I don’t know what else to say. Thank you, more than you could ever know, for being here these last few years. I’m so appreciative of each of you listening.
I want to thank you all you P1s for today and this week on
@dfwticket
with me and
@GreatDonovan
. Living this with all of you was an incredible experience. Meeting so many of you today with
@CincoDeMino
@SeanCBass
hearing from so many of you this week, incredible. Love you guys!
To kick off the final episode of The Matt McClearin Show,
@McMattRadio
took some time to thank all of you for listening & supporting the show over the last two years!
Some good news today,
@JJT_Journalist
and I are also excited to announce that JaM Session will continue to be heard on the radio on Sports Radio 1310/96.7 The Ticket on weekends. It'll be fun to go back to where it all started for me!
Absolutely trash joke of a season. The most colossally disappointing season I can ever recall. A team with Super Bowl aspirations that now has to win the final game to finish .500. Pathetic. Fire the whole staff. You have epically failed and finished a decade of mediocrity.
Hugh Freeze recruits at a high level, figured out Malik Willis, obviously knows how to work boosters and beat Nick Saban back to back. If it’s all about winning, AU just got better.
The final Cowboys postgame show of the season will commence immediately after the game on
@dfwticket
I will then go home and watch the Texas Rangers win the World Series again.
Nate Oats is to blame for the Miller pregame. He said he didn’t know, he’s not paying attention. You’re the damn coach, it’s your F-ing job to know. He failed on this. Tell the 20 year old kid, maybe don’t do that.
Down goes A&M. 82 years in a row where “this is the year” continues. Now 26-28 in their own division since joining the SEC. I guess after 10 years in, still not ready for the SEC.
This album was released 25 years ago today. For me, one of the most impactful albums of my life. I was a senior in HS and wore this out. To this day, one of my fav albums ever. Genius.
What an absolute ass kicking. Total domination. All those Astros fan who talked so much trash BEFORE the ALCS now leaving their own team to die alone in their own house.
#GoAndTakeIt
Jaxon Smith-Njigba tonight for Rockwall: 9 receptions for 325 yards and 4 TDs. Yep. Insane Texas and A&M let this kid get out state. Jacket Fight Never Dies.

@McMattRadio
Congrats now go lose another World Series, something the Rangers have NEVER done in baseball history one of only 6 franchises who are Always Losers
#GoStros
Favorite college football story of the year is easy, UAB goes 8-4 after not having football for two years. Amazing story. Bill Clark has to be coach of the year.
If PHI doesn't have to apologize for beating Washington by 3 at home in OT, Dallas sure as hell doesn't have to apologize for this win. A win is a win.
One year ago today, we unveiled the new lineup
@WJOX945
and marked the debut of The Matt McClearin Show. What a year! I've never done a solo show before. I love what we do at JOX and appreciate all of you more than I can express. Looking forward to Year 2!
I go into a Steel City Pops in Dallas and ask if they know what the statue looking guy on wall is. No, they say. It’s the damn Vulcan. The Vulcan from BHam where your company started. I spread knowledge.
Not that it matters because Bryce Young has already won the Heisman, but Will Anderson not getting a NY invite is a colossal miss by the voters. Ridiculous.
