Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good afternoon everybody, and welcome to the program here on
Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone. My name is
Craig Wait. Glad to have you with us on board
here on this Thursday afternoon. Us, of course includes the
producer of this program, Cameron D. Parker. The D stands
on the birth certificate for Dallas, as in his favorite
pro football team that he refuses to watch out of
(00:21):
the disgust he has, and maybe the D stands for that.
But he's kept pretty busy these days with the duties
here at the station and with our Long Warn Radio
network from Learfield Basketball broadcast and as the host along
with my Cardball Herte and Mark Henry on our Long
Warns game day coverage which includes this Saturday from the
(00:47):
hook them hangout along Bevo Boulevard in the Winship Circle
there in Austin, and that will start at eight a m.
On Saturday. How's that hit?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
The Yeah, D stands for double espresso shot, a Starbucks order.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Starbucks and inconceivable today we got a Starbucks item and
inconceivable today.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
But no excited to be back at DKR. You know,
deacons in for DKR as well. The one hundredth anniversary
of Darryl K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium this weekend. How
about that one hundred years of DKR. So it's gonna
be a fun week. It's been three weeks since Texas
last played a football game at home, and a lot
(01:30):
to prove, coreig a lot to proove with this Texas
football team. At the loss to Georgia you get by Vanderbilt,
people are starting to doubt them. And I'm anticipating we're
going to see a very focused, in hungry football team
on Saturday as they begin a closing four week stretch
that begins with Florida and ends with the Texas A
and M fighting Aggies. And by the end of that
(01:51):
we'll know this is a college football playoff team, but
the SEC championship team perhaps.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, I'm gonna say this and it'll bring about a
collective eye roll, and that's cool. I get it. I
think people have kind of underrated Vanderbilt a little bit. Yeah,
they took Missouri to double overtime on the road, should
have won the game at a couple of kicking game mistakes. Yes,
they had an ugly earlier season loss to Georgia State.
(02:17):
They did. They also have a win for Alabama, and
they played Texas tough at home and they won on
the road in the SEC at Auburn. Let's see how
they do against South Carolina this week. The game is
in Nashville. We'll see on that they're already Bowl eligible.
They are nashally ranked. So for people who say that
Texas is meeting, the team has not beaten any teams
that are that are ranked any longer talking about Michigan
(02:40):
or Oklahoma, that would be incorrect. Vnderbield is ranked, and
I'm not saying that they're world beaters or anything like that.
I'm just saying it proved to be a difficult change.
And even then, the long Orange control a lot of
that game, but the penalties and you know, and then
the late touchdown drive and all that led and the
fact that Vanderbilts in the two Texas tip pass interceptions
(03:02):
and the touchdowns and the long wards did not cash
in the three Vanderbilt turnovers. That can turn a game
and make it interesting. But it's but when people say
Texas almost lost to Vanderbilt, no, they didn't almost lose.
Vanderbilt scored with under a minute to go to get
within three and then couldn't recover an on sidekick. I
don't call that as almost losing. Yeah, they had the
(03:23):
early seven to nothing lead, and then Texas had twenty
one and a sered points after that before Vanderbilt made
it a little bit of a closer game then, and
then Texas kind of kept them at arm's length until
those late moments of the game. But bottom line is,
you went on the road, you move on. Vanderbilt did
that and they're back home. Texas did that, and coming
off a bye week, they're at home to take on
(03:44):
the Florida Gators. It's an interesting Florida team. You know. Me,
I'm not much into the into the wagering lines, but
somebody told me a little while ago that it's like
minus twenty one Florida. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I believe it opened at twenty one and a half.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah. I am not an expert on any of that stuff.
I always say that first, I do not regularly converse
with the boys in the desert that sort of thing,
But I just think that's a little elevated when you
look at what Florida has day. Anyway, we'll talk more
about that coming up. We've got that to get to.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
That line is the Aiden Wagner or Aiden Warner starting QUARTERB.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah line, yeah, yeah, the Aiden Warner line. Yeah. And
Sean Kelly, played by play voice of the Florida Gators,
was on with us yesterday to say that they were
still working on DJ Lagway to see if he might,
you know, be able to go that you know, he
might have an opportunity. What does the player availability report
(04:50):
say about Florida?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
He was questionable, That's what I thought. But you know,
I said this to a friend. Remember when Quinn Yours
had that entry his first year and Stark said he
was day to day and you missed what like four weeks?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
He called him week to week, is what he said.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, I don't see how Logway's playing this game that
this is purely gamesmanship, purely, Hey, let's just try and
have Texas prepare for two quarterbacks same way that T.
Sark would not rule out quin Yours early on in
the week. But I anticipate that the injury report either
tonight or tomorrow will have him as doubtful or out.
(05:26):
Maybe I'll be wrong and I'll eatcro but there's no
way he He was carted off the field last week.
Craig he was carted off the field. He's gonna be
playing football a week later against his Texas defense.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Okay, well here's the other thing too. They could leave
him listed as questionable questionable supposedly fifty to fifty. They
could leave him listed as questionable. That's how it was
with Queen Youwers. It was questionable I think all the
way up to game one of the weeks up to
game time at maybe the Mississippi State game possibly and
then and then unavailable. So he's listed as questionable. The
(06:02):
running back Montreal Johnson Junior's listed is questionable. Damian George,
the huge guard from Galena Park, No. North Shore, who
I saw play on a couple of state championship teams
and then started at Alabama and transferred in is listed
as questionable. So we'll keep an eye on that. It's funny.
(06:25):
Here's if you needed any other reason, no other reason,
if you had to have another reason for why it's
called the SEC's student Athlete Availability report instead of the
injury report. Take a look at the Texas win. Vernon
Broughton out first half. Yep, that's availability. That's not injury.
(06:46):
That's because of the targeting call in the fourth quarter
of the Vanderbilt game. So he's going to be out.
I asked Sark last night on Long Worn Weekly, you'll
be able to hear the program tonight at seven o'clock.
I kind of did a follow up to what was
asked of him in the press conference on Monday about
Vernon brought and how do you prepare knowing you're not
(07:07):
going to have him? How much prep does he get?
How does how does all that work? And he talked
about it in the tale like he did on Monday
as well. So he's listed on that. Isaiah Bond is
listed as probable, and I think we'll see him. He's
he's been able to practice this week, and so that's
that's good. That's a healthy sign. Andrew mccooba, while questionable
(07:31):
maybe updated, upgraded and probable by tomorrow. Well you're going
to hear Sark talk about that coming up. This of course,
being Thursday, it means Thursday, of course is the Sark
Zoom media availability. We're back on that regular schedule now
where Monday have Long Horns Monday and we broadcast live
(07:56):
from from campus at eleven am and then eleven thirty
is Sark's weekly press conference and then we bring him
the sound from that, we're bringing the press conference live
and then highlights of that during this program. And then
on Wednesday is the SEC teleconference we had that Sark
(08:16):
was on that, and then he was chuckling about the
same thing cam that you and I were chuckling about
yesterday that nobody but nobody asked him about the college
football playoff revealed the first one and you're like eighteen
hours removed from that, and no, like fourteen hours I
(08:41):
guess whatever, But nobody asked him about it on the
SEC teleconference yesterday, and yet he was he was amused
by the fact that somebody asked him about the injury thing.
He's like, you're gonna find out we have an injury
report that's coming out later day. Why waste a question
on that? I think was his words on that. But
(09:01):
in talking about things on the media Zoom this morning,
he gave an encouraging update on Andrew mccuba. We'll hear
that coming up because on Thursday he does the media
zom final opportunity of the week for the local and
the few who are part of it outside the Greater
(09:22):
Austin area. The local reporters, you will say, you might
say the Beat reporters. He'll give it update on that
and talk about some other things, including the fact that
John T. Cook is no longer on the football team.
He'll talk about that. Also. We have inconceivable, as I mentioned,
this hour coming up, but we'll hear from Sark in
all three hours. We're gonna have to talk about some NBA.
(09:45):
Your thunder is not going eighty two and oh. I
asked you yesterday if they were going eighty two and oh,
and you said they might, but it didn't happen. We'll
get to that and talk about the Spurs and talking
about the Mavericks and Rockets. So we'll get to all
of that. So we've got a lot to get to
