Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good afternoon, and welcome to the program here on Sports
Radio AM thirteen under the Zone. My name is Craig Way.
Glad to have you with us here on the day
before Thanksgiving. Yes, we're working today. We are, and then
off tomorrow and Friday, although off as a relative term
Friday with long word basketball, and then of course overdue
College station on Saturday for the restoration of the Loan
(00:20):
Star Showdown rivalry between Texas and Texas A and M.
We have plenty of time to get to that, and
we will this afternoon on the program. We of course
includes the producer of the program, Cameron de Parker. The
D on the birth certificate stands for Dallas, as in
his favorite pro football team, who will play? Who will
play Tomorrow, as they have done every Thanksgiving since nineteen
(00:43):
sixty six, with the exception of two years seventy five
and seventy seven, they had.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
The Cardinals on. For some reason.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
The Cardinals were pretty good when they were in Saint
Louis for a little stretch there in the mid seventies,
and so they had them instead of the Cowboys in
seventy five and seventy seven. Then, realizing the error of
their ways, because those were two years when the Cowboys
win the Super Bowl. Seventy five is a wildcard team,
and then seventy seven when they won the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl twelve, they didn't restored the Cowboys to that
(01:13):
late afternoon Thanksgiving contest, and they've been going ever since,
for good or for bad. Cameron Parker, who, by the way,
is pledged even though we watched some of the Cowboys
win that crazy went over the Commander's last Sunday, breaking
his vowl not to watch them. He did watch them.
(01:33):
But you're you're back on the wagon. You're saying you're
not going to watch them tomorrow afternoon. You've got a
captive audience when they're playing. Captive audience? Yeah, what other
football game will be going on tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Go for a walk, people, if you want to watch
Drew Lock. It's Drew Lock. It's a third string quarterback
for the New York Giants playing against the second string
quarterback for the Donas Cowboys. There's no reason anyone to
be watching this game. There's no reason I would even
call it a game.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Hey, by the way, it was it was told to
me at dinner last night by my oldest son.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
He has dropped the Cowboys. Now they're no longer his favorite.
That about eight months ago.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, well you still have them? Is your favorite? You
do you list them as your favorite?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
A lot of work there in that sentence.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Okay, he was when he was a little kiddy, liked
the Jaguars, but he changed to the Cowboys, I think
he said thirteen years ago. Now he's done with him.
So he and his girlfriend are going to find a
team to root for. And he said it can't be
any team that any other family member in our family
could root for. So that removes ms. No Rams, no Packers. Jason,
the youngest one, that's his favorite team pack although his
(02:39):
girlfriend's from Wisconsin was a Packer fan. In fact, they
went to the Packers' Lions game at Lambeau a few
weeks ago. But it's not going to be that. He said,
they'll figure out a team to cheer for. So at
some point that's happened. No one in your family was
a Panther fan. That's kind of great. Well, we were
all out here by the time the Panthers came into existence.
Now I have a younger brother who is retired military
(03:00):
living near Newbern, North Carolina, and he is a Panthers fan,
but he was a Cowboys fan for many, many years,
so he doesn't really divorce himself from that. He's also
married to a Patriots fan, too, so you got that.
So all of my siblings are to some extent Cowboy
fans for the years that they lived in Texas. Only
(03:23):
one of my siblings still lives in Texas. I have
two brothers who live in North Carolina, well, one North Carolina,
one South Carolina, just across the state line near Myrtle Beach.
And have a sister who has just moved to South Carolina.
She was in Hawaii for over twenty years. But yeah,
they all still kind of root from the Cowboy root
for the Cowboys from Afar.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
So anyway that happens with that.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Hey, let's tell you what's coming up from the program
in a few minutes. We're not gonna talk football. We're
gonna talk basketball. Bill Schoning, a former broadcast partner. We
did a few Texas, Texas A and M games together.
We'll reminisce about those. But I also want to talk
about the Spurs. They one last night at Utah. They
got the Lakers coming in the night in San Antonio,
so Bill will join us to reminisce a little bit
(04:08):
about Thanksgiving and then talks and Basketball will do that.
We have inconceivable which think about this, folks. We're off
tomorrow and Friday, which would normally mean no Florida Man,
because we reserved that for Friday.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
No, No, we have a holiday edition to.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Florida Man coming away this afternoon since we're out tomorrow
and Friday. So I have that three o'clock hour more
on the college football realm and landscape about all this business.
With the playoff rankings being announced last night, we'll have
that Texas of course still in that number three slot.
We're going to hear from a couple of longhorns from basketball,
(04:46):
Kenda Weaver, long orange Guard, and also for to Arthur Kaluma,
we'll hear from Vick Schaeffer, Texas Women's head coach. They are.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I think taking off now.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
They they are, and I'll tell you no, they take
off in a couple hours, uh, and they're flying to
Southwest Florida where they will be in action the Texas
Women in the Gulf Coast Showcase and it starts off
(05:20):
with New Mexico State tomorrow night, which you can hear
one of three point ONEFM. So there's uh, so there's
that so anyway or Friday night, excuse me, will be
that contest. So there's basketball to discuss as well, of
both the NBA and collegiate variety. So there's a lot
(05:40):
to discuss and a lot of football. And then, and
