Speaker 1 (00:00):
So we begin this final hour here our number three
of the program. And again hopefully you're one of the
ones who can enjoy the weekend afterwards. If you're working
on it, things go well for you. If you have
to work during the weekend. Here's some topics to discuss
as we are now now fifteen days to kick off
(00:24):
of the twenty four Texas Long Worn football season. College football,
by the way, starts actually meaningful Division one FBS games,
including games with ranked opponents ranked teams, begins a week
from tomorrow. There are a handful of games on that
(00:45):
zero week. I mentioned the fact that you've got the
game what is it Notre Dame in Georgia Tech Dublin
in Dublin, Ireland. SMU is playing at Nevada, and they
opened the season r Kansas. They're playing linden Wood. That's
(01:09):
really a school. My son in law holds a master's
degree in creative writing from Lyndon Wood. Counter Stallions is
the next OC there. No, he'd be a d C there.
He's the new d C at Mumford High School in Detroit.
We uncovered that last hour. So there are games next weekend.
(01:34):
Some Hampton States. Tarleton is playing who McNeice, and I
think that game is gonna be televised, yes, way, yeah, so, uh, Tarlton.
They are pumped up up there in e Rath County,
up there in Stephenville in the heart of the Cross
Timbers because they are finally now eligible.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
For FCS playoffs.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
They've completed their transitional pier just as Sam Houston has
at the FBS level.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
So real quick on Kansas, that's actually a Thursday night
game on the twenty ninth.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Okay, yeah, so following Thursday against Yeah, because they've had
a habit of playing Thursday night opening season opening games
against FCS opponents. One year they played Rhode Island, they
played Coastal and I think got whacked pretty good. Well
Coastal wasn't FCS, they were FBS, but they got they
(02:27):
beat Rhode Island. There was somebody else was an FCS
opponent that they defeated as well. So they played some
FCS opponents And this is another one. Although they are
a transitional FCS opponent. Lindenwood was Division two and moving
into Division one now. So anyway, there's it's kind of
(02:47):
like I'll tell you another school that's been doing that.
But I think they're eligible now and that's Texas A
and M Commerce. That's another one who was going by
in Yeah, formerly known as East Texas State back in
the day.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Also have Delaware State in Hawaii. And get this for
a kickoff time, Craig ten nine pm now eleven o'clock
at ten o'clock, it's listed. You know why, it's ten
fifty nine. You know why it's ten to fifty nine eastern,
right thinke es Central.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay, Okay, yeah, that's exactly right, because it's eleven fifty
nine eastern. That way, they can say they kicked it
off on Saturday, that they weren't playing on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
They were playing it on Saturday, they kicked off.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I remember several years ago there was a lot of
rain that interrupted and slowed down the playing of the
UIL State Baseball Tournament, and that's when most of the
games in most of the classifications were played at the
UFCU Dish Falkfield, including the five A which would now
be six. It was the largest classification and Lubbock Monterey
(03:57):
was one of the hallmark programs and they were playing
I think they were playing Deer Park at Houston and
the the word that was coming down is because they
had such a backlog of games to finish, is that
they had to get the game started before midnight Saturday night.
(04:17):
They could not say that they started a game on
a Sunday. It had to start on Saturday night. Why
is that it was a UIL rule and no competitions
on Sunday. If it was an overnight thing that stretched
into the wee hours of Sunday time. But you can't
start a game on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
But it doesn't matter in the college level.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No. I think that's just something they wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Okay, it wasn't like, well, because it's on Sunday, there
certain amount of practices you can't have in between seven
days of games.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It could be it.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Could be could be as well. So as a result
of that, they u they got the game started the
five A State Baseball Championship at eleven fifty nine pm.
It was on the clock, the big clock on the
older scoreboard at the older dishwalk field and uh and
(05:13):
it finished about two fifteen in the morning something like
that when they got it done.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
As of right now, that Hawaii Delaware state games not
gonna be televised, which is hard to believe in twenty
twenty four crack.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Not even an ESPN plus yes.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Kind of bound anything. Uh wow, it's pay per view.
There you go, Spectrum Sports, there you go. I don't
even know pay per view exists. I mean, what was
the Oklahoma network?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
They pay per view?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, they had that through uh the Suitor Sports whatever
they had that. Texas had it for a little while
back in the day, back some time ago and certainly
before long one network.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
But pay per view still exists. It's just plus the stream.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah yeah, Well, and if you're watching college football is
just yeah, you're paying. You're just paying for all that
other stuff. You get to the stream specifically for yeah,
this game. That's how that happens. So anyway, there's a
couple of college football. So it does actually begin now
for the Loghorns, of course. Uh, it will be two
weeks from tomorrow. They have one more scrimmage inside of
(06:23):
d k R Texas Memorial Stadium tomorrow morning, one more
