Speaker 1 (00:53):
Did you ever were you one of those people who
ever wished that your middle name was your first name
and your first name was the mentally.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
No, because I really don't know a ton of coals,
that's true. And I was almost named Calvin and I
don't really know a lot of Calvin's either, but I'm
cool with cold and people. He always asks, what's your

but the he will be back in tomorrow and we'll
bring you the program tomorrow. The two of us Before
I uh head out, there are things to get to today.

(01:37):
Tomorrow night is the NBA Draft, and we're going to
go over what is the latest mock draft thing and
also some of the rumor me all about what's gonna
happen with the NBA. But in order to properly do that,
we're gonna set kind of the stage for you on
where teams are, just how good they are and what
they need and what they have surplus of if they

(02:01):
do indeed have a surplus, we're gonna do some of that.
We do have inconceivable. These are a lot of the
fast food junk food. I think this is because we're
in the summertime, so it's that fast food junk food
heightened time of year. However, we also have a contest winner,
not a contest winner from here at the radio station,

(02:23):
but this was something we we brought up in Inconceivable gosh,
two three months ago. It's been a long time and
Lace Potato Chips has had this, this long running contest
to pick a new flavor. And if you if you
go to the grocery store, AHB or Randalls wherever, and

(02:47):
you go down the aisle with the chips, you'll see
there's several varieties of Lace potato chips, and not just
Lazy I mean all kinds of chip brands obviously, but
for the purposes this talking about late because they they
engineered their own contest amongst anyone who wanted to submit

(03:09):
a flavor and a recipe and all this other kind
of stuff. Well, they have a winner, and we'll tell
you about that coming up a little later on. Do
you do you like potato chips in general? It's my weakness,
is it, really? Yeah, except that my favorite potato chips.
I went shopping the the day and I couldn't find them.
It's the oh it's I gotta find them. But it's
the honey mustard ones.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
I got to look it up, but they had any
other flavor besides the one I want was that lays
it's not la oh, I see I see the label.
Now yeah, oh there's backyard barbecue.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah. Let me do some research.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah yeah, okay, So anyway, we'll have that for in.
There's some other there's some other fast food notes to
get to as well. Three o'clock hour. Uh will be
joined for a portion of that three o'clock hour by
Greg Tapper, who the editor in chief of Dave Campbells
Texas Football magazine. The magazine is finished, The magazine is

(04:08):
at the printers. The magazine is not yet on the shelves.
And that includes even for those of us I'm not
only do we have Greg Tepper on the show every
week starting today all the way through to January. Not
only do we have tep on every week to talk
football and talk about the magazine and talk about college

(04:31):
football in Texas and high school football in Texas. Not
only do we have all that obviously every year. The
folks at Dave Campbe's Texas Football are very gracious and magnanimous,
and they give us a box.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
They give us more than one box.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
They give us several boxes of their summertime publication the
magazine to give away, and we do.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
That's what we do.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
We just we give them out and we will do
it again when we get those. Now they again have
not arrived yet. There was and I'll let TEP explain it,
but I think the delay this year had to do with.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Those two ugly words.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
They're not that ugly for those who benefit from it,
and I think the University of Texas benefits from it.
Several collegiate programs benefit from this as well, but it
does slow the process. Do you know the two words
I'm dugging amount no transfer portal. So because of that,
the folks of Dave Campbell Texas Football wanted to wait

(05:41):
as long as they could before all the other haves
in the barn. They just needed to make sure to
get through the portal process to make the magazine as
timely as possible, to reflect the new destinations for student
athletes and how it does affect those college football programs

(06:05):
in the state of Texas. And if you know anything
about this magazine, they have every level and I do
mean every level of college football in the state of
Texas covered Division one FBS, all thirteens, all thirteen teams

(06:27):
Texas Texas A and M Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, SMU,
Rice Houston, Sam Houston, North Texas, Texas State UTEP.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
I knew I'd forget one. I do, I'd forget one.
There's one Division one.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
FBS program, I said Houston, I said Sam Houston, and
I also said Houston and Rice.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
I'm pretty sure I know it said, I'm pretty sure
I said it.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Anyway, all thirteen Division one FBS programs in the State
of Texas, they get their own section, several pages, like
four pages, five pages for each team, and that takes
up a good chunk of what the magazine. Now, I
don't know the answer to this question, and I'm gonna

(07:17):
ask it. If TEP he brought up last year, as
Sam Houston was getting ready to go Division one FBS,
he brought up, I might I might have left out Baylor,
I thought, I said Baylor. But anyway, the question was

(07:37):
for years and years and years and years, the magazine
made capped it in the even four hundred pages. Would
it go above four hundred now that you had more
Division one FBS programs that require their own segment, So
I'll ask him that question when it comes on. But anyways,
all thirteen Division one teams, but not just that, all

(07:59):
of the FC YES programs like Aplin Christian and Tarlton
and Lamar and ui W all of all of the
in the brand new ut Rio Grand Value you t
r g V Starting Football, Uh, East Texas A and
m uh those FCS programs. Then you've got Division two programs.

(08:20):
You get the Lone Star Conference. You've got West Texas
A and M and Angelo State and and you've got
Texas A and M Kingsville. You've got and then you've
got I guess Soul Ross Is transitioning from Division three
to Division two. Then you've got Division three with the
American Southwest Conference like Mary Harden Baylor and Harden Simmons. Uh,
you have the South I think it's the Southern Intercollegiate

(08:44):
Athletic Conference, which has Southwestern University in it. So all
of those divisions Division one, FBS and FCS, Division two,
Division three and a I A programs in the state,
and then junior college programs, all all of the junior
college football prints, so all those programs are profiled in it,

(09:05):
and all of the high school's like fifteen hundred high schools.
And the thing is Cole Dixon is already up on
all fifteen hundred of those high schools.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Right.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Of course, I'm not fourteen fifty, but I'll get Okay.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
That's why folks affectionally refer to it as the Bible
of football in the State of Taxes. So anyway, they've
been working very, very hard, and they finished it and
it's off to the printers.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
It's being printed as we speak.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
The millions of copies that they wind up distributing not
only to their subscribers, and I started to say, not
only do we have temper on here each week, I'm
actually an actual paying subscriber to the publication because it
gives you access to online content and all other kinds
of stuff like that. So I have that, but I
don't have my copy yet. And the people who are

(09:52):
subscribers don't have their copies yet. They said late June,
and we're getting pretty late in June. Today's the twenty
f By the way, Happy birthday to my youngest son, Jason.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
You know he's he's twenty six today.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
My grandmother used to have a phrase when we were
all growing up and when her her son, my dad
and others were getting older. She said, my kids are
getting older than I am. That's what she used to say,
and you kind of knew what she meant by that.
It almost sounds like kind of a Yogi Barra type
of phrase, but you kind of got the meaning that
that the kids have all grown ups have fast. So
it's the same thing with mine now that he's my

(10:28):
youngest and he's twenty six. But so here it is
the twenty fourth of June. It would be like in
the last days of June to the first station in July,
probably before the subscribers all get their copies, and they said,
it'll be on the news stands, and it'll be And
I know news stands is kind of a genuine general

(10:50):
catch all for I don't even know of any real
news stands here in Austin. No, I mean there's still
in existence. I mean, you're you're you're a West Coast
guy in San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Do they they still have news stands.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
I'm sure maybe there's a couple. It's it's probably one
of those you got to put some quarters in there,
like a dollar in the quarters and you open it.
But I mean that's the last I've seen one.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Well that's just a newspaper machine.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
I mean an actual word you know, a standalone bilanboerg
guy now selling the newspapers and magazines and gum and
candy and things like that like they have in New
York and a lot of these coast places. They you
see it basically in the airport. It's almost like a
new stand some of those shops and stores.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, I've seen them in the airports. But I'm thinking
San Francisco Atamore.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Well, uh, I think and and again, well, last step
when he's on with us next hour, where to find it?

Speaker 2 (11:44):
I know Barnes and Noble is usually one of the locations.
I think h B.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
It's all the at B's and maybe Randall's and you
know the supermarket change as well. They make it. It's
a pretty far reaching, wide spread distribution and a series
of outlets where it's distributed. So he'll be on with
us in the three o'clock hour. We have some speaking
of football. We'll have some long worn football recruiting news

(12:10):
to get to, so we'll get to that as well.
