Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the program here on a
(00:03):
hump Day Wednesday and Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone.
My name is Craig Way. Glad to have you with us,
so please to have you alongside. As I always say,
if for you, Wednesday means the true hump day and
you get over the hump and then you're two day
shy of the weekend, good for you, good on end.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Hopefully that works out well on the downhill run.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
If, however, Wednesday is to you like Monday is the
rest of us, or even Friday, hopefully things go well
for you there and we're glad to be with you
on Wednesday afternoon. We of course includes the producer of
the program, Cameron Deep Parker. The D on the birth
certificate stands for Dallas, as in his favorite NFL team
(00:50):
that he says he will continue to unwatch because he
feels they're unwatchable, even though we got to see him
win the game the other night, tuned in and did
happen to see them get the game winning touchdown pass
right at the end there to Jaylen Tobert from.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Dak Prescott and.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Says that and you said what it only reinforced your
desire not to watch them on TV.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
The fact that they won on the last play of
the game. There's that side of the coin.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
There's also the side where they had what two three
turnovers in the red zone playing a Steelers team that
had Kyle Allen at quarterback. He got CD and Dak
arguing on the sideline, injuries everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, I feel pretty good about not watching.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, all right, all right, we'll get to some NFL
football coming up. But this being Texas ou Week, we
have a couple of unique ways that we are approaching
and we started it obviously on Monday with long Worts
Monday and we heard from long Warts head coach Steve
Sarcasian Texas. Tuesday heard from Texas players. Also visited with
(02:04):
Kle Gundhy, the one time Oklahoma Sooner's corner quarterback who
now hosts a show up there in Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Today.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Coming up in a few minutes, we'll visit with my
counterpart on the Sooner Sports Network from lear Field. My
good friend Toby Rowland will join us and we'll get
his thoughts on this current Oklahoma Sooner team and what
they're expecting and what they're looking for in this matchup
between Texas, and so we'll get that. Then we'll have inconceivable.
(02:39):
Part of the inconceivable today is that my laptop appears
to have died out on me. I don't know, we'll see.
I'm still trying to recover things on that. But we
do have inconceivable a little bit later on this hour,
at the top of the hour, right at the top
of the hour, at three o'clock, a completely different look
(03:00):
at this Texas OU game from the eyes of a
guy who played quarterback at Texas. He played quarterback here
the last time that Texas was ranked number one in
the nation going into the Red River rivalry.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That was forty years ago. It was nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
The quarterback of that Texas Logorn team was none other
than Todd Dodge.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, the same guy, the same.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Todd Dodge who went on to become one of the
most iconic high school football coaches in the history of
Texas high school football, winning seven state championships for at
South Lake Carrol then three in a row at Westlake
before he stepped away from the game retired health was
some of it, and then got back into it this
year as the coach at Lovejoy High that's in Lucas,
(03:50):
out just east to Plano, up in the Dallas Fort
Worth area, and he's trying to turn that program into
a state championship caliber team. They started owing too, but
they won three in a row, including getting a win
over a state ranked Melissa team last Friday. I'll ask
him about that, but I wanted to get the Todd's
thoughts on that game forty years ago in nineteen eighty four,
(04:12):
when Texas went into at number one, Oklahoma was number two,
and in a pouring constant rain, the game ended in
a fifteen to fifteen tie. It's one of the five
ties all time between Texas and ou. The last one
was in the last year that they allowed tie games,
nineteen ninety five. That's when Texas went out to a
(04:34):
twenty one to nothing lead and ended up settling for
a twenty four to twenty four tie with the Sooners
that year, nineteen ninety five. The next year was the
first year that overtime was implemented, and in that first
year they played overtime, Oklahoma won that game thirty to
twenty seven. It was so new. Overtime was so new
(04:54):
that when the Loghorns won the toss. We all know
now that if you are going in overtime and you
win the toss, what do you do cam if you
win the toss going in overtime, what's your option?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
What do you do for NFL? For college? For college?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
What do you do if you're a college team and
you're getting ready to go in overtime and you win
the coin toss? Usually deferred right? You play defense? Yeah,
because that way you know exactly what.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You have to do.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So if you know, if you hold them to no points,
all you need is a field goal to win. If
you hold them to a field goal, you know you
win with a touchdown. And as they score a touchdown,
it you know you absolutely have to have a touchdown,
so you would go for it on fourth down. In
a situation they're starting at the twenty five yard line,
you always elect to play defense, unless you're Deon Sanders.
Twice last year he elected to go on offense. Actually
(05:47):
three times twice at worked and one time it didn't.
But you elect to play defense. Well, it was so
new in nineteen ninety six. Folks have not yet figured
out the strategy. So one of the toss they like
to take the ball they ended up settling for a
Phil Dawson field goal. Oklahoma comes back James Allen, who
(06:09):
had been the running back two years prior, who got
stopped at the goal line by Stony Clark. And that's
thirty years ago now, and to preserve Texas seventeen to
ten win, James Allen scored the winning touchdown. Oklahoma won
in overtime thirty to twenty seven. All Right, so we're talking,
you know, ninety four, thirty years ago, ninety six, twenty
eight years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But this was forty years ago, nineteen eighty four when.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Texas went into the game number one in the nation,
and Todd Dodge was the quarterback of that team. So
we'll get his thoughts on that. We'll keep you updated
on the baseball playoffs because those are still going on.
Game three of the Detroit Cleveland series is just now
(06:53):
getting underway. Game three of the Yankees and Royals is
later today. Also later is the Game four between the
Mets and the Phillies. Mets with a chance to wrap
it up in Philadelphia, and game or excuse me, in
New York and Game four tonight Dodgers and Padres, with
the Padres standing one game away from advancing to the
(07:15):
nationalgu Championship Series after their six y five win over
LA last night, So with that in mind, we'll keep
you updated on those things as well.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
But up next we'll
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Visit with Toby Rowland, play by play voice of the
Oklahoma sooners when we continue on sports Radio AM thirteen
