Speaker 1 (00:00):
Craig Way alongside the producer Cameron Parker. Glad to have
you with us as well. We're with you up until
five o'clock and then we jump back into it again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
A reminder.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Of a couple of things I've been telling you about
our Texas so you coverage. I don't often get to
say this, so I'm gonna go ahead and get to
say this. Pay no attention to the man in the
promo who said that, the who said that the long
Runs Game Day program begins two hours prior to kick.
We all know it begins three hours prior to kick,
(00:35):
so I don't get to say that very often. So anyway,
it'll be at eleven thirty three hours prior to kick
off on Saturday, October twelfth, this Saturday, so we hope
that you'll tune into the guys for that. Also, Friday
(00:58):
is when we'll be in Dallas for our red River
preview show, coming away from Bar w It's on Maple
Avenue and a great new sports bar venue there, and
if you're going up for the game, there's plenty of
room and all that sort of stuff. So I hope
(01:18):
that you'll come on out and join us for bart
because we're going to bring you a four hour edition
of this program. But the program will not be the
Craig Way Show in name or in execution, so to speak.
It will be our Red River preview show and Mike
Cardball Harge will join Cameron Parker and myself. So we'll
(01:43):
bring that show to you Friday afternoon at two o'clock.
It's kind of a tradition to do a game up
and do a show up in Dallas the day before
the Texas OU game. You're just now really getting steeped
in this in all the right, I mean, you were
a student. You went to the game as a student, right,
How many times should you go as a student?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Twice? Twice? Which ones went to Let's see.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
See Baker Mayfield for Sam Ellinger the final one, and
then Kyler for Sam the Dicker the Kicker year. So
that's what twenty twenty eighteen for Dick or the kicker,
eighteen for Dicker the Kicker, and then what twenty sixteen
twenty yeah, twenty sixteen for yeah, right, well, no twenty
(02:34):
six man, I'm losing my mind. You're at twenty seventeen,
uh twenty. It was the last two thirty kick, So
I think it was twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Okay, I thought the last two thirty kick was twenty eighteen.
I thought that was the dick or the kicker year.
But you're may be right. I clearly lost count time.
I'm losing my mind. But I was just I mean,
I'm you know, in the broadcast booth for this aim.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, seventeen eighteen, I was there as a student, and
then twenty twenty three as a media person.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah. I started to say for me because somebody asked
me today when I was on a program, how many
Texas OU games is this for me? And the correct
answer is.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
All of them?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, right, The correct answer is this will be my
thirty fourth, I believe, and I'm thinking I'm madding up.
I missed one as a broadcaster, as you know, and
it was eight years ago today when my wife passed away, Lari,
(03:49):
and so obviously I wasn't there that day, but I
did go as a media member. The year before, I
was in the broadcast booths with Bill Shoning. So I
was there in nineteen ninety one as a media member
when Texas won the game ten to seven of OURU
I was sitting in the press box at the time
(04:11):
working for what is now our Dallas for Worth affiliate KRLD,
and I was there as a report of working there
that day, and that was the one time that I
was there as a media member, but not in the
broadcast booth. And then of course I've been in it
since ninety two, with the exception of eight years ago
(04:34):
in twenty sixteen, so it's still coming up on number
thirty four. But anyway, over those times, I think most
of those years, starting well, certainly by the time I
moved down here late nineties, we not only of course
were up there for the games, but also for the
(04:58):
to do a show on Friday day before the game,
and there were a lot of different places that we
did it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Done it.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Of course to get tetolf O you golf tournament goes on.
We've done it from different sports bars, from also from
the broadcast booth there, and probably the most intriguing one
was that we had a string of several years where
(05:28):
we did the show from the Hofbrow in the West End,
and that was when I was here at the Zone
the first go around, and we did that through you know,
the two thousands into the twenty teens. It was probably
run of I'd say in the neighborhood of ten years
where we did it, and it was fun down there
in the West End because there was a lot of
foot traffic and fans of both sides walking by and
(05:49):
there's you know, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
We had Brian Jones on last week.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
We were talking about, you know, Brian warning everybody he
was going to cuss on the air and drop the
F bomb about ou, and he did.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
He did.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Fortunately we were able to hit the dumb button in
time on that. But you know, it was an interesting dynamic.
It always is for this game, because this game always
means something pretty cool. Before we get to the break,
we wanted to give you a chance.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Too. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
We're gonna wait on this too because I want you
to bump back with with appropriate music for this.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
We're gonna give away an opportunity to win some tickets, so.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
We're gonna do that, but we're also going to hear
from Long Horn's head coach, Steve Sarkisian, so we'll do
that also on our text line. And we always offer
you the opportunity to engage with us via the text line.
What you do is you text the word Texas, follow
by your question or comment to eight one five three zero.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So that's the word Texas.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You type that in and then your question and comment
to eight one five three zero. Standard messaging and data
age may apply. When I was talking about five of
the top eleven losing see pal Texas said Miami should
have lost too. There was a terrible non call on
targeting in that Cal Miami game with the Cal quarterback
getting knocked out again. It was late late night, it
(07:17):
was acc after dark stuff. Cal also had a thirty
five to ten halftime lead, and you've got to be
able to make some plays also to hold on to that.
And our man CB, who always remembers the anniversary of
certain games, says, thirty years ago today the Stony Clark game.
Folks who know no if you know, you know, nineteen
(07:40):
years ago today was the two thousand and five game,
and two years ago today was forty nine to nothing
Texas one. The Stony Clark game thirty years ago, nineteen
ninety four, Stony Clark like a stone wall, tackling James
Allen at the goal line to preserve a seventeen to
ten victory. That was in nineteen nine four he mentioned
(08:02):
a two thousand and five game. When people ask me
what is my most satisfying Texas OU game memory, it
might surprise some folks to learn that forty nine nothing
is not the most satisfying. It'd probably be third, I
(08:23):
would say, on the list most memorable for me. The
second would probably be two thousand and eight, when Texas
was number five and Oaklhand was number one, and he
had the Jordan Shipley kickoff return in Texas had been
down fourteen three and Colt McCoy was brilliant that day,
and the Long Orangs come back and they beat OU
forty five thirty five to win that contest and move
(08:45):
to number one in the rankings. But the number one
memory for me all time on Texas OU for me
is two thousand and five. Not only was it the
national championship year for the Long Warns. Remember they had
lost five in a row Oklahoma, and a couple of
those by really ugly margin sixty three fourteen in two thousand,
(09:06):
sixty three twenty one in two thousand and three. Then
there were the agonizing fourteen to three loss in two
thousand and one and the twelve to nothing in two
thousand and four.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
There was those.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Thirty five, twenty four and in two thousand and two
when Texas had a fourteen to three lead in that.
But two thousand and five Texas does have the breakthrough
they win forty five to twelve. I can still see
Rod Wright rumbling down the field to score a touchdown
on that fumble return and Jamal Charles the eighty yard
(09:42):
touchdown run. And this is where I'm going with this.
Tomorrow night, we have long warn weekly with coach Sark.
Now tomorrow we record the program as we do every Wednesday,
and we usually do that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
From six to seven.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I would suggest, in the case of tomorrow, if you're
coming out, come earlier. Don't walk in at six o'clock
right there, because we may start a little bit earlier
because the Texas fight rally is tomorrow night at the Tower,
so we may have to start a little bit earlier.
So I would say get there earlier anyway to secure
a seat. So we're recording the show tomorrow, and I'm
(10:17):
told our special guest will be none other than Jamal
Charles nice and of course he had the ad r
touchdown run in that so anyway, that's just something to
keep in mind.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
All right, coming up.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Like I said, we've got giveaway notice to get to
and we'll hear from coach Sart when we continue on
sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone.
Craig Way alongside the producer Cameron Parker. Glad to have
you with us as well. We're with you up until
five o'clock and then we jump back into it again tomorrow.
