Speaker 2 (00:00):
Good afternoon, everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the program here on Sports Radio AM thirteen
under the Zone, the start of a brand new work week.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
My name is Craig Way. Glad to have you with.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Us, and please to have again as the producer alongside
the sixth Man of the Year from Northern California and
of late from Dripping Springs, USA, Cole Dixon.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Here. How's your weekend go? It was good and it
is nice and relaxing. How is yours? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I will first of all agree with you and say
it was nice and relaxing from a physical perspective. Now
for an emotional fan perspective, and mentally, did you get
kind of charged you?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Did you get to watch any of the Olympics of
the weekend?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Not really, That's why you're nice and Ron, that's why
I'm all zenned out. Yeah, that's a good thing for
those who watched. And I watched a lot of Olympic coverage.
I watched men's basketball, watch women's basketball, women's soccer, volleyball,
swimming at length, a lot of real exciting stuf swimming
(01:00):
and track and field, and who could forget what happened
in the one hundred meters for the men, gymnastics, a
lot of that stuff, And I'm one of those guys.
I will admit to this that during the course of
(01:20):
the regular year, you might not see me as wound
up over some of the Olympic sports that we really
do get caught up in during an Olympiad. And I
think some of that just has to do with the
fact that that we we're watching, supposedly anyway, the greatest
(01:41):
athletes in the world in that specific particular sport.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So that's why it's.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
That's why it's really cool to see the best in
the world at what they do in the swimming pool.
Now I've gotten a little more into swimming, not only
becau used to watch it quite a bit during the Olympics.
I mean, I mean just goes back to when I
was a little watching Mark Spits, you know, and then
h and then after that Routy Gains, who now you know,
is pretty entertaining to listen to and watch on television
(02:12):
as a commentator. But the eighty four Summer Games and
then obviously, uh, you know, on on down on Michael
Phelps with his landmark work, and then what the US
has been doing in the pool, both on the men's
and the women's side. Katie Leadecki one of the the
probably the greatest, not probably she is there's the greatest
women's swimmer of all time, uh and one of the
(02:35):
certainly one of the most decorated women's athletes of all
time in the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So watching all of that was something.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And and when we watched them at that level. Same
thing with track and field, Like during the year, I
might not normally get that much into swimming, but because
of what was happening limits and I had now have
an eight year old grand son who's competitive swimmer, and
he's pretty good at it, so that got me a
little more into it.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
But same thing with track and field.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I might not normally watch as much track and field
as a lot of other folks.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I'm not like I do not subscribe to the old theory,
the old former University of Texas sports information director Jones
Ramsey that celebrated great sid Jones Ramsey, who did not
like field events, but he used to say the only
thing worse than track is field. He didn't like the
field events the way I heard it described to me.
He did like the running events though, and I enjoy
(03:36):
watching them. I probably just had not gotten as much
into it as I do during the Olympics. But you
could say that about a lot of sports.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I guess you know.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
But I will tell you this, obviously, I like to
watch golf, and watching what Scottie Scheffler did yesterday was amazing.
To shoot a sixty two on the back nine, or
twenty nine on the back nine, of sixty two overall,
five birdies, no bogies on the back nine. He was
still four shots off the lead at the turn and
just caught fire and an amazing finish for the number
(04:09):
one golfer in the world right now. To see what
Scottie Scheffler did was amazing. To see what happened in
men's track and field with Noah Lyles winning one hundred
meters with just the photo finish was just tremendous. To
see Simone Biles do really well. Now I spoiler alert,
I'm going to tell you. If you don't if you're
planning to watch the primetime thing the night, you might
(04:32):
go I can't hear you. I'm about to tell what
Simone Biles did today. So here we go. She excuse me.
Finish the Olympics in the floor exercise, she did not
win gold. That was a surprise to some because it's
(04:53):
quite often viewed as being her best event.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
She got silver. She had a routine that.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I think she even said or somebody else that was
a little sloppy. It had a couple of costly steps
out of bounds for her in that and Rebecca Andragia
of Brazil, who she just edged in the all around,
became the first gymnast to beat Simone Biles in a
(05:24):
floor final in major international competition.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
So she did finish ahead of her, So that's that's
all that.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
However, like Bile said, quote, I can't be more proud
of how I've done. I'm twenty seven years old walking
away from this game. So with four medals, had my collection.
I'm not mad about it. Her overall metal total, including
seven gold, two silver, and two bronze high Czechoslovakia Vera
(05:53):
Kaslaska for the second most by a female gymnast in
Olympic history. She missed a chance to add a fifth
Paris metal earlier when she fell during the beam finals.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
She finished fifth on the beam, so.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
She said she wasn't at her best, but but she
was proud of what she done, so she finished with
a silver in that.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So that was probably.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
The the biggest headline coming out of today's events.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
As well, So.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That you know, that's just that that was part of
what's happened today. There's been some other activities, some other basketball.
Germany taking down France today. Of course the men will
play Brazil tomorrow, so there'll be that. And I think,
and I have to look this up, I'm pretty sure
(06:52):
that Noel ll Ales went through a heat his heat
in the two hundred meters today, So we'll update the
Olympic things also to discuss on the program. I don't
know if you've seen it, and I don't know because
(07:12):
this is very early August. We're a month away from
the game in an arbor happening for the Texas Long
Worn football team against the Michigan Wolverines. In fact, the
Longhorns had practiced this morning. They're fifth one. Longhorns head
coach Steve Sarkisian had a post practice media availability.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Our man Mike Cardball Harde was out there.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
By the way, did did you get a chance to
catch Mike car j and Mark Henry with the morning kickoff?
It debuted this morning the world's strongest Man, not my cards,
Mark Henry the world's strongest man anyway. So they're off
and running on their program, give it a listen seven
to nine am. You can hear it obviously here over
(08:01):
the year and your regular terrestrial radio dial on the
AM thirteen hundred position. You can listen online obviously the
M thirteen hunderd zone dot com and on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But their show is off and running.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Mike went out to the sark availability and gave us
some sound to play for you, and you're going to
hear from long Worn's head coach Steve Sarkisian coming up.
What I was about to say is Texas is still
a little bit over a month away from playing Michigan,
because right now, you know they're getting ready in what
(08:38):
is it twenty seven days, twenty no, twenty six days
to open the season against Colorado State.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
They had that game first.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But when they play Michigan, it could have quite a
different feel to it because more trouble in caa oriented
trouble that is possibly for the Wolverine football program. We'll
talk about that as well. So we got a lot
to get to today here on the program. Thank you
(09:09):
to all of you, and there were a bunch of
you who participated in our talkback contest when we were
giving away copies of Dave Campbell's Texas Football Magazine that
ended last Friday, but we went two solid weeks in
giving away ten twelve copies a day over the ear
(09:32):
and all we asked everybody to do to get a
copy of it was to reach us via the talkback
feature and the way you do that, And just because
that promotion is over, there will be others, including this
fall your chance to win long WRN football tickets, but
(09:52):
you're going to have to do it through the talkback feature.
And when that bit of contesting comes around, we'll you
know what the parameters are. But the technical parameters for
you really pretty easy. All you do is, if you
don't already have the iHeartRadio app downloaded on your smartphone,
all you do is just download the iHeartRadio app. It's free,
(10:13):
there's no obligations or anything like that. You download it
and then when you open it up, you just enter
AM thirteen under the zone. It pops right up and
there's two buttons on a white button, a red button,
a white button.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You push just to listen to us. You're going to
listen to any show that's on here.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
The red button has a little white microphone on it,
and you push that and then you just leave us
like a fifteen to twenty second message.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
And so we were giving it.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
That's the talkback feature, and we were giving away copies
of the magazine to everybody who did that over the
past couple of weeks. Now, as I mentioned, we're going
to have more opportunities for you to win things, and
we're going to do it via the talkback feature. So
that was a good way to break everybody in on it.
If you haven't done it yet, it's really easy to do,
and we'll when the time is appropriate for the next giveaway,
(11:00):
whatever it might be, we'll let you know and again
reinstruct everybody. But it's really easy to do, and obviously
so thanks to all of you did that, and obviously
if you want to continue to text the program, you're
certainly welcome to do that.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
We have a text line.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
All you do is text the word Texas follow by
your question or comment whatever it might be, to eight one.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Five three zero.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
So again you text the word Texas and then if
you've got something to say like, Hey, I think Michigan's
really going to be messed up blah blah blah blah
blah whatever, or hey, I really liked watching you know,
beach volleyball.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Your question or comment, you text the word Texas follow
by that question or comment to eight one five three zero.
