Speaker 1 (00:00):
Way alongside the producer Cameron Parker. Glad to have you
with us along as well some programming notes just let
you know how this is gonna work out for the
rest of the week, meaning tomorrow in specific, tomorrow morning.
And if you've been listening to the program earlier today,
you know that I have a very early flight tomorrow morning.
Roger Wallace and Will Matthews, my broadcast partners on our
(00:23):
log Worn Radio Network broadcast team, will be flying alongside
me and we'll be headed up to Michigan and we'll Michigan. Yeah,
we got to go through through your hometown, Oh, Charlotte,
North Carolina, Charlotte Douglas. Yeah, yeah, you're terminally You're gonna
(00:44):
find a lovel CLT, don't you. No, I don't. And
you know here's the thing, Well, you know what I
may know now that you mention it, because I've already
digitally checked in for my flight. I was telling Aaron Brounker,
studio engineer on the Long Run Radio Network, we had
a conversation this morning and I and I said, I
was going through Charlotte and he said, good old Colt
(01:05):
and I said, yeah, I said, and knowing my luck
we'll land like in Terminal E and need to go
out of Terminal A and have to walk halfway across there.
I'm looking at this right now. Our morning flight lands
in Charlotte D D okay, oh, we take off from D. Wow.
(01:27):
Not only do we take off from D if the
gate doesn't change, which quite often does happen, but if
it doesn't, the gates are as the Canadians would say,
side by each, So D eight D nine. That's that's good.
Because we've got about fifty minutes between flights to get
on the to Detroit. So we fly on into Detroit
(01:52):
and then you know, then we'll pick up a rental
car and then we'll head on over to an arbor
for folks don't know, it's about thirty miles or so
west of Detroit. So we'll drive over there. And when
I get over there and we get our equipment in
and all rolled in and set up, and I will
(02:13):
hop on the show, the tomorrow's show. The hope and
the target for tomorrow's show is to have me on
from the broadcast booth in ann Arbor at least the
last couple hours of the show. The folks in Michigan
very hospitable and said, oh, yeah, yeah, you can get
in and do whatever you need to do. Off of that,
(02:34):
you know, we're kind of can beyond the days now
and we're not too far past them. Where if you're
on the road with Texas for years, and I do
mean years, it was a challenge in some cases, some
cases expressly forbidden to be allowed into the broadcast booth
(03:03):
to do a talk show the day before the game.
And for folks who say, how can that be? Why,
what's the big deal? Usually the other team, the opposing team,
the home team that will be hosting the Long Words,
has some sort of a walk through in the stadium.
Now there's also a security suite that has go through
and they take the dogs through and make sure there's
(03:24):
no explosives and all that other kind of stuff that
always happens. But there was a time when you could
not be if you were with the opposing team in
any way, shape or form affiliated associated with them, just
the radio guys, you could not be in the booth.
If you did and got caught, you could be in trouble.
(03:44):
And that happened to us twice, although we had permission
in both cases. Once at Iowa State and once in
Colorado in the big twelve Days Iowa State. I'll never
forget this. We're up and at the time I was
doing two to four in the afternoon and it was
about three fifty. Now. We had asked in advance because
(04:06):
our radio broadcast crew also needs to and he's usually
allowed a lot the opposing radio. Opposing team's radio crew
time to go in and set up equipment for the
broadcast the next dayespecially if it's an early broadcast and
an early kickoff, and so they had permission on that.
But we also asked, hey, can I do my show
from two to four and the answer was yes, just
(04:30):
make sure you're out of the booth by four o'clock
because we have a walkthrough, no problem. I'd started noticing
around three thirty guys for Iowa State kind of strolling out,
just wearing like workout shorts and T shirts and just
kind of strenching and goofing around. There were no blaze
being run or anything like that, and I had scarcely
(04:52):
paid attention. I'm doing the show. We get to our
last break right around three fifty, and I turn around
and there is their media relations guy had been there
a long time who I had asked personally or in
an email, can I do this? And he said absolutely,
And he's there with two security officers and I take
off the headset and one of the security officers says,
(05:14):
in an angry tone, you're not allowed to be in here.
And I pointed right to the media relations guy and
I said, he told me I could, And they kind
of looked at each other and you were not supposed
to be and I said, I'm off the hear in
ten minutes, I was told I could be here until
four o'clock. When you're tying. Oh, they kind of grumbled
and left out. There was another time in Colorado where
(05:37):
we were told the same thing, you have until four o'clock.
And it was like three thirty in the afternoon, and
I saw some guys out there rolling around and playing
grab ass football, just throwing stuff around, no big deal,
and all of a sudden, you know, word comes in.
There's Texas guys up in the press pike. Get them
out of there. You know. It's kind of thing is
when Dan Hawkins was the coach and there was a
(05:57):
there was some tense words and then all of that
kind of stuff, it all melted away. Afterwards. But yeah,
sometimes it happens, but that's largely gone away because teams
aren't even really doing that anymore. When you're on the road.
They don't even walk through in the stadium anymore. There's
no real reason to do it. You're not really doing
you know, time. Roger Wallace said it best. He said,
(06:19):
you know, Sark lives by the clock. Everything is broken
down in terms of its timeframe. So when they land,
when the team lands, they're gonna go to the airport
and go from the airport to the team hotel, and
they've got walked through stuff in the ballrooms and things
like that, and they have meetings and they have dinner
and all that kind of thing. And I did spoiler
(06:40):
alert on tonight's Long Run Weekly. You'll hear me ask
Sark at the end of the program. Is a removie
in store? Because when they go on the road a
lot of times they watch a movie. But I'd forgotten
they don't do it when they have an early kickoff.
He said, early kickoff, no movie, So you know that
every bit of time is plotted out on that. So
the walkthrough thing anymore. But there was a time when
(07:04):
that thing was frowned upon for us to be up
there unless you had all kinds of advanced permission to
be able to do that, and we do have permission
in this kid. They've told us, no worries, no problem,
you know, take your time whatever, because there's not a
planned walk through that we know of any way from Michigan.
So the plan is to be in the broadcast booth
(07:25):
to be on with you from ann Arbor at least
the last two hours of the program and maybe the
whole deal, depending on when our equipment is there, when
we get there and all that other kind of stuff.
So there's a couple of things outside of our control.
We'll see how that goes. But that's the plan for tomorrow.
(07:47):
Then Saturday morning, Cam Harge and Mark Henry bring you
Long Orange Game Day from cover three right, Cover three
Anderson Lane, Ell and Anderson Lane. I was trying to
make sure I got the location Cricks. There's cover three
(08:07):
locations and cover two as well all around town, but
it's covered three on Anderson Lane tomorrow, so you guys
will be out there and the big watch party thing
for them because you can kick offs at eleven o'clock.
Went they're popping the doors at ten thirty. Is at
how that works at ten thirty. Now we're on the
air from eight to ten, of course, so you guys
would be like creeping around in the dark with flash
lights to set up there in an otherwise close restaurant.
Is at how that works? Harge has a key somehow
(08:29):
we're getting in. I don't know. We'll probably be ten
minutes in the setup and the cops will be showing up.
You know, what are you guys doing here? I need
to see heads right now. No, no, we're just doing
our candy show. Put down the flash lights, sir. Yeah, okay,
all right, So anyway, yeah, all right, So they so
long onrn's Game Day comes your way ten thirty, I
mean at eight am tomorrow, but the doors will open
(08:51):
and cover three at ten thirty, and of course our
broadcast coverage begins at eight am and then on the
network at ten, so that that you caught up on
all of that. Coming up, we're gonna hear more from
Longhorn's head coach, Steve Sarkisian also camin on with our
picks of the NFL the predictions for the season. When
(09:12):
we continue on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone
