Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the program here on thirteen
hundred of the zone. My name is Craig Way. Glad
to be with you, and right now as we bring
you the program from UFCU dish forag Field, it's seventy
six degrees. I know there's till parts of the area
that are technically technically under a tornado watch until four

(00:20):
o'clock this afternoon. And it was monsoon like Build the
Arc style conditions this morning all around the Greater Austin,
Central Texas area, heavy heavy rain. I got drenched like
a drowned rat taking a vehicle to get repaired this morning.
But now the skies have cleared, and you know, it's

(00:45):
beautiful sunny conditions here at the ballpark. Traffic's even actually
moving a little bit on the upper deck of I
thirty five. So anyway, we're out of here because the
Long Corn baseball team has its final non conference game
of the regular season coming up tonight. They'll play a
really good Lamar Cardinal team that's won thirty seven ballgames

(01:08):
this season, and it's the final midweek game of the
season for Texas. They don't play a midweek game next
week with the Quick turnaround in the Thursday game to
start off that final regular season concluding series in Norman,
Oklahoma against the Oklahoma Sooners next weekend, which could wind
up being.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Really really important.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Certainly, the series this weekend at home on Senior Weekend
against the Florida Gators will be very, very important toward
the log Warrens continued hopes to lead wire to wire
to win the SEC Championship. Of course, those plans and
hopes took a hit, a sizeable one in the series

(01:52):
sweeping lost weekend at Arkansas, and Arkansas passed Texas and
two of the pole this week. The Longhorns were number
one in two of the other polls including D one
baseball dot Com, and I think Texas.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Is number three.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Imperfect game, but the most important thing right now is
trying to get this team back on the uptick, finish
out the regular season strong to hopefully win the SEC
regular season championship locked down a top eight national seed,
if not the overall number one national seed, which is
also still very much in play, but it'll depend on

(02:32):
how the Longhorns play the rest of this week and
then certainly next.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Week as well.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
All right back in play and back in the studios
at the Zone at the Iheartcompound is our producer Cameron D.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Parker.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
The D and the birth certificate stands for Dallas, as
he was named for his favorite pro football team that
he is refusing to watch and follow right now as
he continues his disgust in the way that team has
been operated. So the D this morning stood for deluge
because we had all the rain. But maybe it stands

(03:10):
for I don't know, you're coming off a little little
break of a weekend, So how that go for you?
By the way, you're able to step away for a
few days and kind of catch a breath before we
get to the stretch drive of baseball season.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Craig, the D stands for don't foul, Dad, Now, don't
foul up by three, especially if you're gonna foul, don't
foul immediately so that no time comes off the clock.
It could stand for Denver with that incredible win. Or
it could stand for the Dallas Stars who had that
incredible come from behind victory in Game seven. Uh, what
a victory for the Stars. And now we'll face the

(03:47):
Winnipeg Jets in round two. So it contend for a
lot of things on this Tuesday afternoon.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
But good afternoon.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Glad to be back with you guys here and looking
forward to Texas baseball, hopefully recovering from a dour weekend
in vaytte film.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
There's another d word, Okay, a dour weekend dotted with
three defeats. So hopefully they turned that around. All right, Uh,
we're going to talk about all those topics that you
brought up. Uh, certainly that would be uh the Oklahoma
City Thunder that was inexplicably seeing an eleven point lead

(04:24):
in the final minutes slip away.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I think you made a very good.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Point, although I thought, you know, on the on the
TMT post game show, H Kenny Smith did a really
good job of pointing that out. On the inside of
the NBA Charles Barkley didn't agree with it. He said, Hey,
it's as simple as who missed the two free throws
for the thunder? Yeah, you make the two free throws.

(04:48):
It's not it's not an issue. Well maybe it wouldn't
have been. Maybe maybe you know, Gordon hits the three
anyway two uh, and then it would tie and send
an overtime.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Who knows.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
But I do agree with you that the early fouling
leaving time on the clock, I think was And they
asked him about it in the post game and he
said he liked their plan for what they did, they
didn't execute quite the way. I think when they go
back and review that, they're gonna look at that and go,
you know, we fouled too early. There was one time
in less than ten you know, a few tenths of

(05:23):
a second, less than a second went off the clock
from like what ten points something to nine point seven,
So I think they'll probably look at that.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
You mentioned the Dallas Stars.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
They played a night in Winnipeg, and if the Stars
inexplicable finish down to nothing in the third period in
Game seven of Colorado before scoring four unanswered goals, three
from Eko Ranton and who it was just amazing what
he did. If that was incredible enough Sunday night, the

(05:57):
finish for Winnipeg down in the third with a couple
of goals, including one with one second to go in regulation,
then winning it in the second overtime might even be crazier.
But that is setting the table for what could be
a fabulous Western Conference summifinal series there. So we'll talk
about those two things we'll also discuss the other NBA

(06:21):
playoff series, Nix with an eyebrow raising win in Game
one in overtime at Boston. Of course, on Sunday, the
Pacers lost at home in Game one to Indiana. So
three the first three series, the lower seeded team has won.

(06:41):
Now we'll see what happens tonight, And it's kind of
a little bit different anyway, because Minnesota and Golden State
are the six and seven seeds anyway, so it's a
little it's a little bit different in their case.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
But we'll kind of follow that.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
We'll get to a couple of Major League Baseball things,
and obviously we're going to talk long Worn Baseball.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
And we'll do that.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
But but coming up next, we're going to talk Tackta
Softball with a head coach of the Long Orange, Mike White,
as his team prepares to head for the SEC Tournament
in Athens, Georgia. And don't we have a broadcast of
a game of that coming up cam.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
We do Opening Round for softball, which is technically Day
three of the SEC Softball Tournament. We're going to bring
it to you actually live on this station right here,
thirteen hundred on Thursday three forty five pm first pitch. Now,
of course, if they do win, they'll play a little
bit later in the day on Friday, and then if
they're in the SEC Championship on Saturday, it will conflict

(07:39):
with Texas Baseball and round Rock Express. But we're hoping
for another long postseason run for Mike White, and when
we are a bit able to, we will bring it
to you right here on thirteen hundred zone.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Good, all right, So we'll have that on Thursday afternoon.
It'll be a quarterfinal game since they're getting one of
the double buys, and so we'll have that for you
on Thursday afternoon. Up next, we visit with the head
coach of Texas Softball. Mike White, will join us when
we continue on thirteen under the zone. It's the Craig

(08:11):
Way Show with the voice of the Texas Longhorns in
Hall of Fame broadcast.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Craig Way. Just let me know where.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Back here at UFCU Diish Folk Field as we get
ready for long Horn Baseball tonight, as Texas will take on.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
The Lamar Cardinals.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
That'll be a six fifteen pregame start time and a
six thirty first pitch. But as we mentioned, it's postseason
time for collegiate softball, and that means it's postseason time
for the Texas Longhorns SEC tournament time, getting ready to
play in their first ever SEC softball tournament at Jack

(08:57):
Turner Stadium in Athens, George. Now that'll be coming up
on Thursday. The long Horns will head over there tomorrow
to get ready. We're pleased to have joining us on
the hotline right now, and they head coach of the Longhorns,
Mike White, has joined us, and Mike, I appreciate the time.
And after the Noah's ArcLight conditions of the morning, with
all of that out of the way, where was your

(09:18):
group able to get in some work even indoors before
you know, getting ready to head out to Georgia tomorrow?

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yes, sir, well, for fortunately we're able to get in
yesterday morning before the monsoon started, and then this morning
we were in the bubble and then finished up on
our indoor facilities, so we're able to get some pretty
good practice time in, so you know we're ready to go.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Excellent.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
How would you describe I mean, your your team is
no longer a knea fight so to speak, in the
SEC if you've been through an entire regular season. Now,
it's just like when coaches say that freshmen aren't freshmen
anymore by the time you get to the end of
the freshman year. All that said, do you get a
sense of excitement from your group? I mean, anytime you
get in the tournament play, I'm sure there's excitement, but

(10:02):
the fact that this is their first ever foray into
the SEC tournament, you do you get that kind of
sense from them, the excitement of participating in this event
for the first time.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yes, definitely. I mean it's almost like a many college
World Series. You know, this ESPN's present and there's a
lot of media and you know, the same kind of
stuff that goes on in the College World Series. So
it's a great opportunity to pray people one and hopefully
for a postseason run and we'll get ready and get
back there to Oklaoma City.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Well and one of the things, Yeah, and I guess
that's that's the nice into the road thing for folks
who might have missed your team or will miss out
on seeing them, like in Oklahoma City during conference tournament play,
there's always that light at the end of the tunnel
that carrot there to get a chance to play there
anyway for the national in the Women's.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
College World Series.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Let me start with how you feel about your group
now coming off the sweep of Kentucky, getting through the
weekend after a grinder of an SEC schedule. How do
you feel about your group right now and the way
they're playing as you head on endo the conference tournament.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
Yeah, the three weeks here we were in l s U,
Tennessee and Oklahoma. There was that was a tough stretch
that was like a goolant there of the you know,
three of the top teams in the conference and kind
of beat us up a little bit. You know, we
took a took a sweep there at Oklahoma and we
split that. We won the series against LSU in Tennessee.
So it was difficult, but I think we learned a
lot and we're able to kind of reset a little

(11:28):
bit against against Kentucky and loot some stuff and hopefully
we can come out and play relaxed, to play aggressive
type softball. I think they let uh let things get
away from us a little bit there. I gave up
too many runs on the pitching stuff, and hopefully we
can do a lot better going into this tournament.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Well, one of those players who seems to be playing
really lose for you and and free and easy, and
we saw it when she was a freshman. But how
about Katie Stewart and the things she's done. Uh, she's
sec player of the week, the player of the week
for the NFC A. Uh, what what do you seeing
from her that has her just on fire of late?

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Yeah, we saw that about two or three weeks ago.
She started to get a lot more confident. She was
down on herself there. We moved her down the lineup
from you know, fifth behind at what into the sixth position,
just to take a little bit of pressure off and
and now she started to really bounce back and like
what she's at behind Reese. It takes Reese quite a
bit and she's coming into her own and she's really
swinging the bat well, and that gets us pretty excited.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Mike, do you see that as one of the challenges
of coaching is not only for a head coach, but
for assistant coaches, for any of your other group, for
Steve Singleton or Kristen Zeleski or Patti rut Taylor, any
of your other members of your coaching staff. When you're
working with someone in trying to get them to get

(12:45):
the performance level up, and sometimes it necessitates a move
down in the lineup, some coaches up in the lineup,
depending on where you wanted him. For them to understand,
it's not a punitive thing, but it's a thing that's
going to help out not only the kid, but it's
certainly going to help out the team in the short term,
if not also for the long term.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
Yeah, exactly, everything is based around the team. We tell
them that it's not a personal decision, you know, even
though it may seem like it at times, but certainly
not punishment. It's just, you know, just to kind of
maybe get you relaxed and reset and get to get
your your mind back to where it needs to be.
And fortunately, you know, we haven't had made too many
changes at the top of the line up. You know,
the top four have kind of stayed the same. It's

(13:25):
just a bottom hop there. We've got to kind of
mix and match just a little bit, and you kind
of go with your gut feeling and you kind of,
you know, play some players in certain positions depending on
the pitching that you're facing. But fortunately, the top four
have been really pretty steady.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, well, I was going to ask you to talk
about those top four, but before I get you to
dive into that, I'm curious to get I heard it
saw a couple of the sound bites with Mia Scott
playing all of the positions. Baseball did that several years ago,
where we had a guy named Jake McKenzie who did
all nine one night, but that was a non conference
game on a Tuesday night against I think U t

(14:00):
R G V and things. We're gonna be well in
place on I mean, you're doing that or she's doing
that in the in the down the stretch of a
conference regular season. How did that whole thing generate into
all of a sudden, here's me of playing every position
on the field.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, well me has always kind of joked about wanting
to pitch, and she wanted to catch, and she wanted
to do these different things. So I was like, okay, Kiffer,
what you mentioned, we're going to put you into it.
So it started off, we said let's go, you know,
see what you got and you put your money with
your mouth this kind of thing, and uh, you know,
I didn't know much about it until we started actually
the game. So it was kind of kept for me,
but coach a Leski was was the one behind it

(14:37):
a lot of it, and so it just evolved into
its own little beast there and we unfortunately we're able
to do it. And you know, the game still meant
something because I mean difference between third and fourth place
and who we played, you know, in the in the
matchups for the now on Thursday, so you know it
didn't mean something, but she was able to kind of
come through it unscathed and we're able to win the
game with some comfort and you know with as we scored.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
No doubt about it.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
This is when Mike White, Texas Softball coaching for a
few more minutes. Mike, let me get you to give
a little detail what you were talking about with regard
to the pitching, because for a lot of the season
had been really really good and then there was a
struggle or too and a stumble or two down the stretch.
Was it anything acutely identifiable that that you could see

(15:23):
and and how did you and the staff go about
addressing it with your staff to try to get things
turned and flipped back around.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
Yeah, I mean it's it's sometimes you're going know, is
this a physical thing or does a mental thing and
you kind of like bouncing different stuff around trying to
figure it all out. And you know the other thing,
it was a combination. You know, there was some physical
things that we looked at, you know, some some stuff
that Teagan was doing, you know, and then also just
getting behind just walking too many batters. You're putting a
lot more pressure on yourself. And you know, the the

(15:54):
zones are pretty tight. You know, they shrunk a little
bit in the SEC for sure, and then coming the postseason,
so just adjustments we had to make. I like where
Tigan's at right now, and you know that's the one
we need. We need Teagan to be firing and all
celling us absolutely.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
And is that also something too that you've noticed. And
I'm I'm speaking about this from the perspective of somebody
who just called three games in Arkansas of the weekend
that saw the pitching staff issue thirty one free passes,
there were twenty two walks and nine hit batters. So
I so so I'm I'm hearing exactly what you're saying.

(16:31):
And in the case of some of those one thing
that coach Los Negle talked about and Max weener, the
pitching coaches, guys just trying to be too fine sometimes
instead of just cutting loose and doing what they do best.
Was there some of that also, not only with Tigan
but with the rest of the staff.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Yeah, no, definitely. We're talking them about, you know, perfect pitching. Yeah,
that can really cause you some issues. You're trying to
be perfect all the time, and you know, good hitters
are good at not swinging that stuff and straightening the
strike zone. So you really got to trust your stuff
and attack. And you know, the number or pitches we
were thrown, we give them even better looks at us,
you know, So it's kind of like a catch twenty two.
You've got to really kind of like take your chances

(17:07):
and say I'd rather get you earlier than later. So
it's definitely something we leve from and something we're told
Tatiak and then the rest and stuff about as well.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Let me get your thoughts now on this SEC tournament.
You're not going to play until Thursday, and not yet
sure who it is you'd be playing. It could be
you know, two of the two teams is that that
start their game this afternoon, Missouri and Old miss It
could be Florida obviously waiting on the winner of that,
you get the double buys as well. How about the

(17:36):
challenges for you and for your staff. Uh, there's the
benefit of the double buy and you started in the quarterfinals.
But by the same token, there's a lot to examine
in terms of those teams. How much does the familiarity
of playing those teams during the season help shorten the
curve a little bit?

Speaker 2 (17:51):
There?

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, it certainly helps without a doubt. Obviously we haven't
played Old Miss, but we've played we've played the other two,
so that kind of makes it a little bit easier.
But then you get into the semis and it could
be Texas A and M and could be on CO
and so it could be any one number of the
teams that we that we haven't played, you know. So
it's it's like one of those deal you know, you
kind of take fifteen folders with the MVP PID, so
some of it we's got to kind of wing it,

(18:14):
you know, and just do the best we can.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, no doubt about Now.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
For folks who fans who are interested in how a
team goes about the on site preparation, you travel tomorrow
and of course you wouldn't play till Thursday, and how
much of what you have to do in terms of
your off site prep before you get into the stadium itself,
plus the scouting that goes on, Just to give long
warn fans a little bit of an idea how all

(18:39):
of that works for you and for your staff as
well as for the team as you travel tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yeah, it's actually it's quite difficult because we're staying over
an hour away because you know, obviously we didn't know
about it till late and you know, it's a graduation
weekend there and you know in Athens and so all
all the hotels rooms are booked up. So the closest
we get was over an hour away. So and then
we can't get to practice on that the actual Athens field,
so that we've got to practice on another high school field.

(19:06):
So we've got that organized. So you know, it's really
kind of going into that game against you know who
we play, it is going to be a little bit cold,
playing on a new new surpas and new area, so
you know, that's what we've got to look at. Fortunately,
we've got some software programs where we can scout teams
and obviously we'll be watching TV this afternoon and then
obviously tomorrow if we have an opportunity to watch those

(19:27):
games going on and pick up some stuff from that.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Depending on the matchups and what has happened and who
you might match up with, does that also affect on
how you want to set up your pitching for this
or is it just starting with Teagan and seeing where
it carries you.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
You know, we haven't made that decision yet, but it
could depend on who we have come through. I know
Mac Morgan's pitch pretty well against Florida, you know, so
that could be a choice we have with Florida comes through,
you know, almost hasn't seen any of us right now,
We've got to look at your hitters little bit more. Obviously,
we played Missouri and we were able to do a
pretty good job against Sam. Sit Riley did well against Sam,

(20:05):
So so it could depend on who comes through that
side of the bracket.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
All right, Hey, Mike, I really appreciate you taking the time.
I know it's a busy time. Glad you you were
in your group were able to get dried out a
little bit and then get ready to get on the
plane tomorrow to go to Georgia, and we wish you
all the best luck. We're looking forward to having Andrew
Haynes bring everybody the broadcast live here on the Zone
on Thursday afternoon.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
I appreciate you taking the time.

Speaker 4 (20:29):
Oh, thanks great, We appreciate you. And Andrew does a
great job.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
So and welcome, Yeah, welcome, thank you, and of course
Andrew Haynes a voice of Texas Softball. We'll have the
play by play call on that and we will bring
that game to you on Thursday afternoon from Athens live
here on the Zone. Andrew will have the call of
that Texas against either Florida or Old miss or Missouri.
It is kind of interesting in that here's Missouri or

(20:56):
excuse me, Old miss As you just heard might say
they didn't play them.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
That's one of the teams they didn't play.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
It's interesting too, like Long Horn baseball team did play
Missouri this year, but they played him in Arlington the
second game of the year. And what didn't count in
the conference standings. It was a non conference setting in
that classic, the Shriners Hospital Children's Classic up in Arlington.

(21:23):
It didn't count in the conference standings. Texas won that
game ten nothing, but it did not count in conference play,
but they didn't play Ole Miss in a conference series.
The teams at Texas. You know, with sixteen baseball playing institutions,
not every team can play every team because you're going
to have a ten game or a ten series conference schedule,

(21:49):
so there's going to be five that you don't play.
And the five teams that Texas does not face this
year are Tennessee, Vanderbilt, also South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Alabama.
So those five schools Texas does not face in baseball
this year. But anyway, that's and softball goes to the

(22:12):
same thing, and the tournament setups are very very similar
as there is the bracketing done for it. It is
you know, single elimination now and with the size of
these conferences, single elimination tournaments really have become the vogue.
Same thing in the Big Twelve. Fourteen of the sixteen
teams in the Big Twelve play baseball. Colorado does not

(22:35):
play baseball, Iowa State does not play baseball, but the
other the other fourteen schools do, so they have a
single elimination event as well, and their event starts on
Tuesday and goes all the way through Saturday. They must
compete on Saturday because of BYU being in the league,
and of course BYU does not play have athletic contests

(22:58):
on Sundays.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
They go Tuesday through Saturday.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
The unique setup of the SEC tournament is such that
while it begins on Tuesday and the Longhorns are in
really good position to get a double by just like
Mike White's softball team has that the Longhorns would then
play look to play on Thursday, and if they win

(23:22):
that game, they would get Friday off and the semifinals
would be Saturday, with the championship game set for Sunday.
So nuances and wrinkles there. Because it's a sixteen team
field as well, the one to four quarter final winner
would play on Saturday, and the or the one versus

(23:42):
eight nine I guess, and the four versus five twelve
win or whatever would be would be on Thursday, and
the winner that would then get a buy into the
semifinals on.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Saturday in the championship game on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
So that's the nuances and the differences with regard to
the baseball and softball tournaments this season for the University
of Texas in their first season in the SEC. All right,
we've got Inconceivable coming up next, and we'll get into
more NBA conversation this afternoon.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Also, our text line is hoping.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
If you have a question or a comment, a thought
you'd like to share with us, all you have to
do is avail yourself.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Of our text line.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
You text the word Texas follow by your question or
comment to eight one five three zero. So again, text
the word Texas follow by your question or comment to
eight one five three zero. Standard messaging and data rates
may apply. Inconceivable is up next when we continue on
thirteen under the Zone, the second hour of the program.

(24:44):
Here on a Texan Tuesday, at least I think it's
supposed to be a Textan Tuesday here on thirteen hundred
the Zone. I'm Craig Way out at Ufchu Dish fogg Field.
But the show as always always in the capable hands
of the producer Cameron D. Parker, who established Texan Tuesday

(25:07):
with the decree that the musical offerings on the return
cuts would certainly include, but would not be limited to,
the following. In the four o'clock hour of the King
George Strait, in the three o'clock hour, the iconic Willie Nelson,
and in the two o'clock hour the immortal Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
But I didn't hear any Steve Ray. Did we have
Stevie Ray in the first hour?

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Honestly, CRACKETU, today was Monday. So that's on me just
learning today's actually Tuesday. So we'll get back to it.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I'll make it up. I'll make up for it here
in the second hour. Okay.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
The reason why I brought that up also is because
when I was in fab of Arkansas last weekend, it
was a Thursday, Friday Saturday series and we flew in
on Wednesday, and the weather conditions when we flew in
were much like they were here this morning. I mean

(26:06):
it was you know, the rain was in sheets, torrents
coming down. And remember when I was on with you
Keith and I, we were we were actually driving through
a monsoon at the time, leaving the airport up in
northwest Arkansas and headed into Fayetteville. Well, it was really
really raining, but then it cleared out by Wednesday night

(26:31):
and we went to eat on the on the advice
and the suggestion of many to a rib place, I
thought about, you can because the next time that we
go to Fayetteville for basketball probably instead of eating with
the team, we probably need to go to Herman's rib
House and uh and and you know, really, you know,

(26:52):
engage in some serious uh rib consumption. So we go
when we do that on Wednesday night, right, So Thursday,
we get to the ballpark and you had taken off
for Nashville for the weekend, so we had the Zimbel
hours going on. So he had Andrew Zimmle at the
switch and I was checking in and it was a nice.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
It was a nice evening. It was going to be
for baseball.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
And I kept thinking it was Friday because I'm used
to Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Friday seemed like Saturday. And
Friday was Keith Morland's birthday. So and I told this
story yesterday, But you need to know about this game
because you were flying back. If we ever go to
Fayetteville again, you should know that if you wind up

(27:40):
having a late night dining experience, and it's difficult to
find one up there because most of the place is closed.
And the Friday night ball game started more than an
hour late because of storms and lightning delays and things
like that. So by the time we got off the

(28:02):
air and got out of the broadcast booth. It was, oh,
I think eleven fifteen, eleven twenty, something like that.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
And so we leave there, and you know, and I wanted.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
To buy dinner for Keith because it was his birthday.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
So I said, let's let's, you know, let's go out
and find a place to eat.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
When we'd had a couple of places in mind, and
one of those was actually, you know, one of those
late night diner type situations. They were already closed when
we got there. So then we went to another place
we thought would be open, and it was closed. And then,
you know, because we're just two older men, and we
didn't even bother to check, you know, check check the

(28:49):
apps and check online.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
So then we did.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
So we checked and saw that there was one place
that was open and it was called Arts Place and
it was on College Avenue. And the thing that it
said was the way it was described was local dive
bar with great burgers. So we said, okay, all right,
we'll do that. We'll go to the local dive bar
with great burgers. So we pull up and sort of

(29:14):
there's one sign that said great burgers there, and there
was another sign not right near the front door that
said notice or attention, and it said this is a
smoking establishment. Now, I was surprised that smoking establishment establishments were.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Still in We're still around.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
But went in there and it was like a cumulus
cloud of smoke in there. But we were hungry and
they weren't lying about their burgers. They were good, and
we each had a burger. But when I walked out
of there, I think my eyes were burning or something
after that. So those are just a couple of things
to keep in mind the next time we head for

(29:55):
the Hills and favle Arkansas. Fortunately, Longhorn football won't be
playing there this fall. They'll have the Arkansas Razorbacks coming.
In basketball, of course, is a home and home with them.
Women's basketball only played Arkansas once in the prior season
and that was at home, so they might be headed
up there in the coming season, and then baseball, of course,

(30:16):
would have them at home. And speaking of baseball, Arkansas
going into the weekend is a mere two games back
of Texas in the SEC standings. That was the importance
of building the cushion the prior weekend with the long
worn sweep of Texas A and M, while Arkansas was

(30:36):
dropping two out of three at Florida because then it
built a five game lead with nine to go.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Well, now it's a two game lead with six to.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Go, and that magic number hasn't really changed for Texas,
So they're going to have to, you know, have a
good weekend series against Florida, and then of course LSU
is playing Arkansas and the two will probably I doubt
one will sweep the other, especially in baton rouge, but

(31:06):
I could see one winning two out of three Texas
if they win all three games during the weekend. If
they were to win all three games of the series
during the weekend, and say Arkansas were to lose twice
to LSU, then Texas could wrap up the SEC regular
season title if that happens. If they win the first

(31:28):
two in Arkansas, say loses the first two, Texas could
clinch at least a tie for the title. But remember
they don't have the tie break on Arkansas for what
would be the top seed based on losing the series
to the Razorbacks, but they do have the tie break
on LSU and LSU is four games back. LSU was
only able to pick up one game on Texas over

(31:50):
the weekend because the Tigers dropped two out of three
to Texas.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
A and M.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
So there's some things to keep in mind about this
going into this weekend with Florida. But they have Lamar first,
and Lamar comes into it with a record of thirty
seven and fourteen, so they've they've been really solid, even
though it looks like they're not going to win the

(32:15):
Southland Conference regular season title.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
That looks like that's going to.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Go to ut Rio Grand Valley, that UTRGV is going
to wind up winning that tide. Of course, the long
Wruns beat UTRGV here back. I think it was three
weeks ago when they beat them, and beat them pretty soundly,
beat them eleven to four in that game. But ut
Rio Grand Valley has been good. They have an RPI
of thirty one right now and an overall record of

(32:43):
thirty three and fifteen, so they're good. Lamar will come
in with an RPI of fifty eight, and this tells
you something about RPI and the teams you're playing and
in the conference you play and where you play. Lamar
is thirty seven and fourteen, but their strength of schedule
is two hundred and six, and that's by and large

(33:06):
due to the relative weakness of the Southland Conference. So
they are thirty seven and fourteen. Texas Tech, which is
a number one strength of schedule but has just been
dreadful at times this year and is twelve below five hundred.
At sixteen and twenty eight, they're two below five hundred,

(33:28):
and Big twelve play they're eleven and thirteen and so
normally below five hundred. Numbers like that, both overall in
conference that will get you knocked way, way way down,
But because they're playing the schedule that they are, they're
fifty seventh in the RPI and Lamar's fifty eight in
the RPI. And as far as the SEC teams, and
we gave you the rankings that came out yesterday, Texas

(33:51):
is still number one in two of the polls, and
then they are number two in two poles, and they
are number three in the Perfect Game rankings. They're number
two in the RPI, And you say, how can they
only fall one spot getting swept.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
I talked about this last week before they left town.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
I said, the teams are judged and maybe a little
more weight given to if you're playing on the road
as opposed to home. Because Georgia had gotten swept over
the weekend had gotten swept by Texas and moved to
number one in the RPI. Georgia swept a road series
at Missouri last weekend, and I know Missouri is now

(34:34):
oer and twenty four in SEC play, but it was
on the road, so Georgia hopped back Texas hoped by
Texas into the number one spot even though they are
four games back of the long runs. In the SEC standings,
Texas is two, Vanderbilt three, Arkansas four, are Auburn four
in Arkansas five in the RPI. So SEC teams occupy

(34:56):
the top five places in the RPI. Then you have
Florida State six, Oregon State seven, Clemson eight.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Then you have.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
LSU nine, North Carolina ten, and other SEC schools Alabama thirteen,
Tennessee at fourteen, Ole miss at seventeen, and in Oklahoma
at twenty two.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
For teams in the RPI.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
By the way, UTSA is twenty one in the RPI
and they're in line to win the American Athletic Conference.
How they're thirty seven to ten and even with a
strength of schedule of one three that they've done so
well in some of the other games and including fifteen

(35:40):
and eight in road games and that has helped out
their RPI there. So those are some of the machinations
that go into that. All right, coming up, we're going
to talk some NBA playoffs also a little bit later on,
we're going to hear from Jim Schlosnigl, the long Warrens
head coaches Texas gets ready to go back to work
tonight against Lamar Cardinals. We'll do all that and more
when we continue on thirteen under the Zone here at

(36:02):
UFCU Dish Falkfield. All right to the NBA, and we
kind of scratched the surface on it a little bit
at the top of the show cam when we were
talking about the issues that the Oklahoma City Thunder had
with Denver, and in terms of a more detailed analysis

(36:23):
of that, I think there were three or four things
that went into play.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
On this first and foremost, I.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Would say, really even more so than what happened down
the stretch in the final two to three minutes of
the game and the fouling that happened relatively early in
possessions for Deptford that allowed them to shoot free throws.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
In addition to that.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
They just it was almost almost I'm gonna say not entirely.
It was almost like the thunder were encountering Kola Jokic
for the first time ever, because that dude was just
and stoppa what they said, it was only the sixth
time in NBA history that a player in the playoffs
had forty or more points, twenty or more rebounds, and

(37:11):
at least five block shots. And he would he get
forty two to twenty two and six I believe in
the game last.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Night, that's correct. He was a monster, Craig.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
I mean, he's he's the best player on the planet
right now, and displayed that last night the fourth quarter.
Even though okay See went in up I think by
fourteen and Denver started coming back, they simply could not
stop Jokic offensively.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
He was incredible.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
He had timely shot or timely shot, the hook shot
and then the three pointer and then you know, ultimately,
you know, we got into a little bit at the
beginning to show the decisions to foul by okay See,
it's the game. They definitely let stip away and I'm
curious to see, how does you know Dagnal and ok
See counter because they just could not stop Yokic at all.

(37:56):
And also you give a lot of credit to what
Aaron Gordon did. Obviously, that three pointer will be replayed
for a long time, especially the Nuggets have a big
playoff run this season and you can upset okay See.
But Gordon was phenomenal and Yokicic was incredible. And it's
surprising Greg because you know, Denver had just played Game
six two days ago, so I was thinking, Okay, okay See,

(38:17):
he's coming in off. You know, a week's rest. Denver's
got to be exhausted. You know, it's such such a short,
you know, turnaround, and Denver has a you know, pretty
limited rotation. Only eight players played last night, but seven
in double fakers. All their starters pretty much played forty minutes.
But they look fresh, and you know, okay See looked okay,

(38:38):
But it is Denver looked like a team that had
been in that situation before in okay See did not.
And that's what scares me as a Wether fan going
forward in this series.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Well, and I think they'll read, they'll bounce back from that,
and I think they'll play really really well in Game
two on this And there there's something something I believe
to the whole rest versus rust thing I mean, I
saw it happen when my team in the baseball playoffs
a couple of years ago with the Dodgers and didn't
get up off the deck and the Diamondbacks took him out.

(39:11):
So there's something to that, I think. But but you know,
they built the fourteen point lead before it started to
slip away. Also, the Nuggets were able to overcome several
different things, not the least of which is the usually

(39:32):
uber selfish play of Russell Westbrook, since you know, the
former Oklahoma City thunder Man.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
And it was interesting, wasn't.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
It how they they gave him a robust round of
applause when he was out there, and then he was
on the free throw line they were cheering when he
missed as well, And it made me think about how
thunder fans had really just kind of dumped on Kevin
Duranmeny left and caught him cupcake and all this. This
is a guy who gave over a million dollars for
tornado relief victims there in More, Oklahoma, but they that

(40:02):
didn't matter to them at that point. And yet here
was the critical possession in Westbrook racing up the right
sideline and the thing that went in my mind is
he's going to try to take on two defenders and
put up a shot where he's going to stop and
go hero ball and launch a three that'll clang out. Instead,
he goes to Gordon, who nails the three. Now, if

(40:22):
he hadn't missed that, I think Folks was an eye
hero ball, he shouldn't have been shooting that three. And
I can't remember her name. The reporter asked him, you know,
why did you shoot the three on that? The answer
was it was the open shot. It was the right
shot to take for him, Now I did. I also
think it was funny cam that Shack asked him in

(40:43):
the ask Jamalt Murray in the post game if he
was going to be better than six for sixteen, and
he's like, yeah, I'll be better, but this is about
a team win, so I hear you, but it'll be
six for sixteen. And that was after they all had
a lot of fun at Ernie Johnson's expense, who had
that long winded statement but didn't ask a question, and
Murray just said, I'm not sure there was a question there,

(41:05):
but blah blah blah. Ernie owned it and said it
wasn't it wasn't I just went on and I fillibustered
and all that other kind of stuff. It's that cardinal
rule of interviewing CAM. Unless you're in a regular conversation
with somebody, you don't make a statement.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
You ask a question.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
And at least Jamal Murray was smart enough, I guess
to to and sharp enough to say, I'm not sure
there's a question there, but yeah we've been.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
Blah blah blah blah blah. So that's that's journalism one
O one on display there. Cam. Don't make a statement,
ask a question, yeah, And that's always a tough spot.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
And that's why, like if you ever have watched Late
Night with Scott Van Pelt, you know he always does
those postgame interviews and a lot of the times for
Van Pelt, you know, you don't know you're gonna be
interviewing until probably I don't know, sixty seconds before he
comes on the air, or maybe they have an idea
of who they're going to get, and you know, it's
always an awkward situation at times because you sometimes a

(42:02):
player can't hear you, or they don't want to be
doing the interview. And Van pel is such a pro
at it, it's it should be taught in journalism school
if if you want to be a broadcaster, or if
you even have to do anything with interviewing people at all,
or just speaking face to face. What famed Help does
on a nightly basis is what makes him such a

(42:23):
great sports anchor. And it's it's funny because we all think,
we know, we all know EJS want one of the
best ever to do it, and he's fantastic, especially his
ability to navigate Shaq and Chuck and Kenny because who
knows where they're going to go with anything they ever say.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
But yeah, funny.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Moment, And it's it's why everyone is drawn to those
four guys.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Yep, and agree that the ability to make light of themselves,
I think. And sometimes you see that, you know when
the you know when when fans tweet out different things
like they did like on earning last night, showed mister
being their state by the side of the road.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
That kind of deal.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
You know, it's it makes sense, it makes absolute sense,
and and and and your spot on about that that uh,
you know, it can be a deal where it's it's
can be very very uncomfortable if you're if you're not
understanding what they're trying to pull off there.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
So I get it. I you know, I understand it.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
And again I have an appreciation for a guy like
Ernie Johnson to be able to poke fund at himself
for that, for making a statement instead of asking a question.
It makes makes a big different, all right. So, uh,
Oklahoma City is down one game to another. Hey, do
you put any stock into the you know me? You
know me, I put zero stock in superstition.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
I don't. I don't buy in the superstition.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
I got into it with my brother the other night,
who had given up on the Stars when they were
down to nothing in the third period, and we landed
on the charter and I got in the car, and
when I got in the car, they had already given
up that goal to start the third period, to fall
behind to nothing, and they had a brother who had

(44:10):
given up on him and he was ready to fire
Pete de Boor and all this other kind of stuff.
And they come back and win, and we're on a
group text with his son and.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
One of our other brothers.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
So there's four of us on this group text, and
I'm saying things like, h yeah, even though you gave
up on him, they came back and they won, and
his response was to say, well, the reason they turned
the game around was that, you know, I turned off
the game. I turned it on something else, you know.
And he's one of those superstitious dudes, and there are
people like that. So against that backdrop, I put this
question to you, Kim. Folks were asking if Oklahoma City's

(44:46):
weird uniform thing the dark the black jersey that just
said Oklahoma on it, and it kind of and they
were black T shirts. It was kind of a blackout
the other fans wearing it, and they said it just
kind of like dark can smokey. The arena kind of
looked like the bar I was in in Fayetteville the
other night with Keith and and uh and and and

(45:07):
how it just kind of put a real bad vibe
over the bell.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
I didn't buy that. I would tell you this. You
know what that color scheme said to me, Love's Truck Stop.
That's their colors. They're black, yellow, and red and that's
and they had the little logo on there. So I
wasn't buying the superstition on that, were you.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
No, I don't think the jerseys had anything to do
with Jokics completely dominating the Okay See in the fourth quarter.
I won't say this though, Craig, you know I do.
I've I always loved alternate uniforms. You know, whenever I
would play Madden or college football or FIFA, I would always,
you know, switch the team jersey to whatever alternate jersey
or throwback jersey they've had. We've gone too far, I

(45:48):
think once we reached the postseason, you stick to your
home and away jerseys.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
In that set.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
I when these teams, especially in the NBA, they go
to their city alternative connect Cares jersey and it's it's
it just looks weird. Especially I think it was it.
I remember the team in the first round series. It
might have been who the thunderplay in the first round.
I already forgot. It feels like Memphis Memphis. They I

(46:14):
think Game three, which was their first home game, they
went back to the throwback uniforms from the nineties two thousands,
their Vancouver Grizzlies era, and in Game four, I think
they were in their Memphis Hustle.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
The ABA team there.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
Well, or the it was Memphis Pros and it was
Memphis Tams. I mean they were they were gonna be
the hustle, and then the league folded, what.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Are we doing? Why why can't you just why don't
you just wear your home jerseys?

Speaker 3 (46:42):
But you know, maybe it looks good and the kids
love it and stuff, but it's gone too far. It
should be home in a way, just two uniforms throughout
the entire playoffs. But hey, that's just me and I'll
get off my front porch yelling at the cloud I.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Started to saying as I head down to the dog
out now to visit with Jim Shlasnagel for this next
during this next segment, I'll shake my fist at the
clouds for you.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Thank you. There.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
Camp will take a look at the other NBA playoff series.
I thought that Nicks beating the Celtics in overtime, and
then of course Golden State and Minnesota getting ready to
crank it up, and you got Indiana and Cleveland. He'll
take a look at that, and then we are going
to have the conversation with Jim Schlosnagle coming up early
next hour as well, but I'm going to get it
down and visit him and we'll continue on thirteen under

(47:24):
the zone.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Wanted to quickly talk a little golf and shout out
to Scottie Scheffler, who absolutely torched TPC Craig Ranch this
past weekend as he picked up his fourteenth career PGA
Tour victory last week, shooting thirty one under part. I
believe it tied his lowest score on the PGA Tour,

(47:47):
thirty one under par. We're kind of been waiting for
Sky the wake up, right. Remember he had the off
season injury making Ravioli, we got the shards of glass
in his room, missed the start of the season, missed
a couple of tournaments, including the trips in Hawaii and
out in the West Coast.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
Swing came back and.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
He's played alright, hadn't won yet. Got to Augusta, where
he was the defending champion. We were hoping that he
would end up going, you know, back to back, but
just did not have it. He played well eight under par,
finished fourth, but never really was in contention to win.
In fact, kind of busted in the top ten after

(48:30):
a really solid sixty nine on Sunday, But you know,
the ball striking wasn't there, the driving wasn't there, and
you know, you know it might have ended up waking
him up as he shot out with a sixty two
on Thursday's round TPC Craig Ranch and just did not
look back. The CJ Cup Byron Nelson, by the way,

(48:51):
actually where both Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Speed made their
PJ Tour debuts as amateur golfers, playing at the University
of ten Axis at Austin, but finished with minus thirty
one shot eight under on the final day, ended up
winning by eight shots. And it's the best Scotty has
looked all season.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Now.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
You can argue that he wasn't the greatest field, not
the greatest course, but I think you feel really good
about Scotty's chances heading into quilhala Ware, the one hundredth
and seventh PGA Championship will be played in two weeks
as Scotty looks to pick up his first major that

(49:31):
isn't a master's green jacket. Feel pretty good about his
chances going into that tournament. Obviously, Roy McElroy, who has
won at Quilhalow. Usually it's the home stop for the
Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina. Roy's has dominated
there in years past. Is the first time this is.
We're actually playing the PGA Championship at Quohala since twenty seventeen,

(49:57):
where Justin Thomas won, and hey, Justin Thomas a few
weeks ago at Harvard Town at the Hilton Head. So
a lot of golfers who have played well at the
pass in this tournament are playing pretty well coming into
form JT.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Scotty Roy is.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
It should make for hopefully an entertaining tournament overall, as
far as the golf course goes. Not the biggest fan,
it's long, they grow the rough up pretty high. It
turns into kind of a bomb and gouge fest, similar
to what we saw last year at the PGA Championship
AFL Holland, which zenershoftly won by one shot over Bryson

(50:34):
the Shambo. But hey, Dunday's tournament, that was an entertaining
final round and hopefully that's what we'll get at the
PGA Championship this year. Four total Longhardons will be playing
in that tournament, outside of Scotty Scheffler Jordan Speith, who
of course just needs the PGA Championship to complete the
career Grand Slim. Hey, we saw Roy do it this

(50:56):
year winning that elusive green jacket and that he was
searching for to capture the career Grand Slam. Why not
Jordan Speed, Hey, he played well at Quo Hollow the
President's Cup a few years ago.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
Not certainly his his course to sign him.

Speaker 3 (51:13):
He played there in twenty seventeen after he had won
the Open Championship. I think he finished like T twenty second.
T twenty four doesn't really suit his game too much.
But remember he's coming off risk off season risk surgery,
of course, and has had a couple of top tens,
top twenties T fourteen at Augusta, I believe. And it

(51:36):
came in this week at the Byron Nelson, you know,
looking for something and ended up shooting a sixty two
also on Sunday, nine hunder got him into the top five,
where he finished fourth. That tied his career low for
a golf round. And is looking for something as well.
So maybe Jordan Speed finding some sort of game heading

(51:56):
into major championship season. He did say his post on
press conference because he played with Scotty Cheff with the
first two rounds and his quote was, yeah, seeing Scottie
beat my butt for the first two days of the tournament,
really makes me want to get better and play harder,
because hey, when you know, when they were both amateur
golfers on the younger circuits, it was Jordan's beef was

(52:18):
was dominating, and it was the Scotti's, the Jts, the
salad Toruses that were trying to catch up to him.
Now everybody, not just Jordan's pele, with everybody trying to
catch up to Scottie Scheffer who likely Scottie and Roy
probably gonna be the top two favorites heading into quote Hollow.
We'll see with Jordan, you know, I'm looking forward more

(52:38):
to possibly the Open Championship later this season. PJ at
QO Hollow, the US Open at Oakmont. It's definitely uphill
battle for him, but just hoping to get some more
consistency out of Jordan Sped. The other two golfers competing
the PGA Championship of former ut golfers Jonathan Vegas, who
continues to have a fantastic to golf career in Bo Hostler,

(53:02):
who had a really good twenty and twenty four season,
still looking for his first PGA Tour win of the year.
One notable golfer who will not be playing at the
one hundred and seventh PGA Championship is Billy Horschel, who
actually is undergoing preventative hip surgery and will miss most
of the season. Horsechell, who withdrew two weeks ago from

(53:27):
a PJ Tour event, cided on Twitter that it's an
unfortunate situation with so many great events up in the schedule,
but this is a preventative measure. I'm already looking forward
to getting the rehab started, getting back to practicing, and
hopefully returning to the golf course in late summer early fall. Horsefell,
by the way, who you know, was battling for the
Open Championship this past year before Sanders Schoffley pulled it

(53:49):
off to win his second major of the twenty twenty
four campaign. So not only does this take away you know,
Billy's ability to complete in major championships, see also hurts
his chances of making the Ryder Cup.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
Of course, Billy Horschell, who you watched him play, He's
pretty emotional.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
He's always got some sort of red, white and blue
on if he's not wearing Florida Gaylor color Florida Gator colors.
It's one of his big goals. Of course, has been
making the Ryder Cup team and with this surgery may
not happen. He's played on two President's Cups teams played
on in twenty twenty two. He's got two top tens
this season and came in actually this week sixteenth in

(54:32):
the US Ryder Cup points standings. But with this surgery,
who knows his chances? He might be on the outside
looking in. As the US team will host the Europeans
at Bethpage Black and trying to avenge the loss in
Rome two years ago, not just really a loss in
absolute drubbing to the Europeans. So no Billy Horschell going forward.

(54:55):
More to come here at hour two. Already here from
coach Jim Sloshnegos, Texas Baseball host Lamar University their final
midweek non conference scheme of the twenty twenty five season.

Speaker 2 (55:06):
We'll be back wrap up hour two here on the
Craigway Show.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Third and final hour of the program here on thirteen
hundred the Zone coming away from UFCU Dish falk Field. Tonight,
Long Worn Baseball Is Texas takes on the Lamar Cardinals,
and you'll hear that one on one oh three point
one FM. Austin's eighty station six fifteen airtime and a
six point thirty first pitch. You can also connect to

(55:30):
it through the iHeartRadio app gets you right to the
streaming sources for that, and it's also available at Texas
long worns dot com and LHN dot com. In fack tonight,
Cam Parker for the last time this season, and it's
been a handful of times, not many, but a handful.

(55:51):
For the last time this season, he got you good
old fashioned simulcastwork.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
In this evening.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
Ooh all right, So, folks that are pull it up
on SEC Network Plus on your mobile devices, be it
your iPad or at home if you're watching, you know,
folks always hear me shout out Tom McKay and Audio
Visual Consultations. They're really good at doing that, helping you
set up all your streaming devices in through your home.

(56:18):
So if you're streaming the game, watching at home or
on an iPad or on your phone or whatever.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
Laptop, whatever the situation.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
May be, and you're pulling down SEC Network Plus, you'll
hear our broadcast tonight with Keith Morland joining me for
the call of that. It's the simulcast this evening so
if you're watching, I'm just telling you in advance. I'm
asking you to have some indulgence in advance. And I'll
say this on the air as well. If you're watching

(56:46):
the game and it sounds like I'm talking a little
more than I should be talking, I think a Dan
Christensen DJ C LAWNT and that spot what we did.
He goes, you know, Craig, you you're you're really good,
but you talk a lot, And I say, what's kind
of my job? Well, it'll be kind of my job tonight.

(57:07):
Even though it's a telecast, remember, first and foremost, it's
a radio broadcast being fed to the pictures, hence the
name simulcast because it's being broadcast both on radio and
the UH and the telecast of it. So just wanted
to give you the heads up on that. So if
you're watching me, gosh, can't the dude realize when he's

(57:29):
on TV and don't call it like a radio broadcast, No,
because it is a radio broadcast.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
TV's just picking it up. So hopefully that's ago most.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
Of the people say they like it that way, Kim,
because they can get a good understanding about it, whether
I'm saying something or whether Keith Morland saying something that
they get a good understanding of it. We have we
have several fans that we know, uh some we've become
friends with over over time as well that like to
take their headset radios to the ballpark and listen to

(57:57):
our ballpark frequency, which is eighty seven point seven FM
here inside of the ballpark and then at DKR Texas
Memorial Stadium. I think it's eighty nine to nine inside
the stadium.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Folks say they get a better understanding of some of
the things, especially if you've got questions about ruling or
rules or something, or just an explanation that maybe you
might not otherwise get from a telecast, or if you're
just sitting in.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
The stands watching.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
So we're all in it, and it's all in the
interest of making for a better broadcast all the way around.
So hopefully, like I say, if you're watching tonight, understand it.
If you're listening to Keith Morland and me, and if
you're watching the telecast night, you will be because it's
a simulcast, it'll be broadcast on radio and television, that
it's the radio broadcast that we're doing. That they're feeding

(58:51):
to the pictures. There's not a separate TV announced team.
That's been the case. Not not a lot this season,
but some and it's happened. And also with women's basketball.
I think we had it on one men's basketball game.

Speaker 2 (59:04):
I know.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
Also what is it uh cam for the bowl games?
They had it for the Peach Bowl and again for
the Cotton Bowl where they have was that they call
it the hometown radio broadcast on one of the what
on one of the ESPN channels where they carry our
network broadcast.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
Yeah, usually like it's either on ESPN U or now
it's probably just all the ESPN Plus because you know
they did it for Texas, Ohio State where you had
that you and Roger and then they had Big Data
on the other one.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
Yeah, yeah, Big Daddy was yeah, for the Ohio State
for the Cotton Bowl.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
Yeah, he had had that one.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
And then of course we also had it for the
Peach Bowl as well with my good friend Tim Heaey,
the voice of the Arizona State Sun Devils. They had
his call and his crew on one channel, him and
Jeff Van Raphorst UH and on on UH one one
of their networks, be it the ESPN News or ESPN
Plus or ESPN U or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
And then and then.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Our broadcast with Roger and UH also with Will Matthews
on one of their channels as well. This one isn't
quite as the tailed as that because it's just me
and Keith call it talking to baseball here, but UH
that that'll be the case tonight, final non conference game
of the season, and they're glad to get this ball

(01:00:22):
game in and and and you'll hear Jim Sloss Nekle
talk about that because you know, some folks feel that,
you know, late in the season, late in the season,
if you've got a Tuesday night non conference game, a
lot of coaches, especially coaches of UH winning teams, contending teams,
they'd almost just assume not play the game because maybe

(01:00:45):
it might hurt their RPI or maybe it won't do
them much good. And if you lose the game, then that's,
you know whatever, and then there's always the question of injury.
That's not the case with this particular team, with this
particular coaching staff. Schloss has has said that, you know,
he wants them to play and to get better. And
you'll hear him talk about this that they after what
happened over the weekend in the series against Arkansas, they're

(01:01:10):
pretty eager to get back on the field and to
kind of, you know, turn things around and make things
better coming off of that series loss and being swept
by the Arkansas Razorbacks. So they're they're pretty anxious to
try to do that, to get back to get back
at it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
And we'll see as they go to it. Now, Like I.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Said, the lineup may be a bit altered this evening.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
He hasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
He had not made out the lineup when we were visiting,
but he's considering. And some of that will also depend
on a couple of the guys who are battling a
flu bug that's been going on. And normally I hear
about that, you know, during like the dead of winter,
like in January February, we hear a basketball coach say, yeah,

(01:01:58):
their team is fighting through a flu bug. I know
that the Big Shaffer's team went through that, I want
to say early February or something.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
They had one of those deals.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
So with that in mind, you know that that could
affect the lineup on the field to night.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
We'll find out on our text line.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Somebody reminded me, as did Cam, that that Star Series
does not open until tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:02:21):
Night, and I'm an impatient waiting for that thing to start.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
Ever since they won Saturday night and then Winnipeg one
Sunday night, I was thinking, you know that it was
beginning to.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Night, but it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
It does not start until tomorrow, so you know that
that'll be the case. In the East, the team I
root for, the Carolina Hurricanes, begins their Eastern Conference semifinal series,
and it's gonna be difficult. They're going to be having
a deal with the greatest of the great Alex Ovechkin,
the all time goal scoring leader passed winning Gretzky this year,

(01:02:54):
and the Washington Capitals, so that they'll be playing. The
other Eastern semifinal series got under last night, the Toronto
Maple Leafs getting to win. Do you know Cam the
last time the Toronto Maple Leafs were in a Stanley
Cup final? Ooh, I'll help you out with some me

(01:03:16):
It predates your bird.

Speaker 3 (01:03:17):
I was gonna say, like seventies, eighties. I don't know
my hockey history, but I know it's been quite some time.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
Put it this.

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
Way, it predates anybody born after nineteen sixty eight. Okay,
the Toronto Maple Leafs have not been in a Stanley
Cup Final, let alone won one, but it happened both
the same year nineteen sixty seven, the Maple Leafs got

(01:03:44):
in it and that was the last.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
But here this will really set it for you.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
The last time the Toronto Maple Leafs were in the
Stanley Cup Final. Now they've got to win this series
the one seed there in the East. They've got to
win this series over over Florida, the defending Cup champions.
So they have to win this series, and then they
have to win the Eastern Conference finals against the winner

(01:04:10):
of the Carolina Washington series, which I would think you
have to give the edge to Washington on that. But
they'd have to win those two series just to reach
the Stanley Cup Final and play the winner of the
Western Conference, which would either be Winnipeg the one seed,
Dallas the four seed, and then the other one is
what Vegas and Edmonton, right, that's the other that's the

(01:04:33):
other conference semifinal series. So Toronto would have to win
this series in the next series to reach the fine.
But the last time the Toronto Maple Leafs reached a
Stanley Cup Final was when the NHL had six teams,
the original six.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
That was it. Wow, you know, can you name the
original six NHL franchise?

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
No, there's no chance you're a hockey fan in.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
That sentence right now? Okay, all right?

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
The original six of Toronto, Montreal, the New York Rangers,
Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Red Wings, and Chicago Blackhawks. That's
the original six. I probably could have gotten those, That's
what I would have thought.

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
So the next season in Toronto won the Cup in
nineteen sixty seven, and it was a surprise. They were
kind of an underdog in those days. The top four
made the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
That was it. You had semifinals and finals. That was it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
And Toronto was won the Stanley Cup nineteen sixty seven.
It's the last time that they won a Stanley Cup.
Last time they were in the Cup final. The next year,
sixty seven sixty eight, the NHL doubled in size. That's
that's unprecedented in sports history that a league actually doubles

(01:05:53):
in size. Well, and then when you take a closer
look at it, they went from six to twelve teams.

Speaker 2 (01:05:59):
So and they.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
Added can you name any of the six teams they
added in the original expansion. Some of them were stars
that back then the Minnesota North Starsky so you later
moved to Dallas, So that's one yepy. Some were pretty
household names in Saint Louis, the Blues, Saint Louis Blues.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
That's two. Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:06:20):
Was there a Buffalo team. There was, but they did.
They were not in that expansion. The Savers didn't come
in until nineteen seventy with the Vancouver Canucks.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
They both came in nineteen third, so okay, Blues and
was Winnipeg's first team.

Speaker 1 (01:06:36):
No, they were in that the rival league, the WHA
for a while, the Jets, along with what was the
New England Whalers which became the Hertford Whalers and we
now know them as the Carolina Hurricanes, they were in
that group. The Edmonton Oilers were in that group. The
Calgary Flames actually Calgary moved from Atlanta, which.

Speaker 2 (01:06:57):
Was an expansion team in seventy two.

Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
They tried mansion in the NHL twice in Atlanta and
it didn't work either time, both with the Flames in
the early seventies who moved to Cavriy and they've been
there ever since. And then the what were they the
Thrashers who became the replacement franchise for Winnipeg, whose franchise
had moved to Phoenix, who's now in Utah as Utah

(01:07:20):
Hockey Club.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Okay, all right, So.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
Any of the other teams you might have about Philadelphia
or pis both. So that's four. So there's two more.
There's there's two more.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
One is the team.

Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
One is a team that's currently where it is that year.
The other is the team that's changed addresses twice. In fact,
that team, i'll give you a hint, is now the
new Jersey Devils. But they weren't back then. In fact,
they weren't even on the East coast.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
Okay, I was going to say either the Devils or Islanders,
weren't one of those two.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
Islanders came in seventy two with Atlanta. So the Devils
in their original incarnation were known as the Oakland Seals.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
And then they became known as the California Golden Seal.
They then moved to I believe the Kansas City and
became the Scouts for a year or two, and then
moved to Jersey, or they were the one that moved
to Colorado the original Colorado franchise, which was known in
the early seventies as the Colorado Rockies, but it didn't last,
and so it was different than the Avalanche. The Avalanche

(01:08:19):
came from another one of those rival league franchises, the
Quebec Nordiaks, out of the WHA, and they moved to
Denver after the ninety five season, and they won the
Stanley Cup in their first year as the Colorado Avalanche.
But anyway, those were the six teams. When they doubled
in size in sixty seven sixty eight, they added Buffalo, Vancouver.

(01:08:42):
In seventy they added the Islanders, and like I said,
the Atlanta Flames, who would later moved to Calgary in
seventy two. So anyway, that there's a little bit of
your hockey history, lesson for it. But the point of
all this is to say, the last time Toronto was
even in or let alone win, and both happened the
Stanley Cup finals was nineteen sixty seven. It's been a
long time and a lot of really bad hockey played

(01:09:04):
over the years in Toronto. But of course they have
I think the best player in all the NHL in
Austin Matthews. Certainly the best, the best scorer in the NHL.
And uh and and they're a good club this year,
they're gonna be. They're gonna be, They're gonna be hard
to beat. I'd love to see the Stars play them
if if Carolina doesn't get to the finals, and I
don't think they will, I don't even think they'll get

(01:09:25):
past Washington, let alone beat Toronto in the Eastern Conference finals.
So uh, I think Toronto may wind up there, and
if they do, it'd be great to see the Stars
take them on.

Speaker 2 (01:09:34):
That'd be a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (01:09:36):
All right, up next, Uh, the conversation had just a
few minutes ago with Jim Schlostnegle, the head coach here.
Somebody said that, by the way, uh, just so you know,
I listen when I watch when and when in the
park because I like to hear you talk whatever it is.

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
Thanks Carrie, I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:59):
And somebody else said, you do a great job interviewing
all the UT coaches.

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
Well done. Appreciate the good content you do for his band.
Thank you kind words.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
So appreciate that You're going to hear a conversation coming
up with Jim Slostangle. That's next. When we continue on
thirteen under the zone on a textan Tuesday. That was
that was the King George Strait Which which number? Which
number one? Did you cull for that particular return cut?

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
What? Right or wrong? Okay? All right?

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
And now when I was downstairs visiting with Jim Schlostangle,
is that when you bump back with Willie Nelson?

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
Yes, okay, I want to make sure we did Whiskey River, Okay, good.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
I wanted to make sure we didn't short change the
great Willy Nelson, who turned ninety two last week, ninety two,
and he's still performing. He's doing his Fourth of July
picnic out of Cota, isn't he. I think Bob Dylan's
going to be in it?

Speaker 4 (01:10:55):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:10:56):
All that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
If if I wasn't going to be on the North
Carolina coast on the fourth of July, I can tell
you that's where I would be.

Speaker 2 (01:11:03):
I would I would be wanting to.

Speaker 1 (01:11:06):
Hear Willie because who knows how many more opportunities we'll
have to see Willie Nelson. That which, by the way,
goes into saying that in September, when I hit a
certain milestone birthday, lind and I are going to celebrate

(01:11:26):
it on the open date weekend for football by going
to Las Vegas to see Ringo Star.

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
Because we wanted to haven't and and.

Speaker 1 (01:11:37):
And Ringo will be finishing up his his residency at
the Venetian, which is where we saw Steelee Dan a
few years ago and where Keith Morland went back in
February with his wife during when Texas was in Las
Vegas playing baseball, they went to see Chicago play. There's
a great menu for that as well. Tomorrow, by the way,

(01:12:00):
on the program, now tomorrow when when we come on,
it's gonna be after there's an early Express game. Correct, Yes,
they play at noon, so so we'll be gone after
that and take it to five. But in the time
we have tomorrow, with some of the some of the

(01:12:22):
return cuts we have, we we won't exactly be doing
yacht rock. We're we're we're gonna zero in on one
specific artist tomorrow, who's some of this artist work can

(01:12:42):
be put into the category of yacht rock, but this
artist doesn't necessarily qualify, uh, you know, on on own
merit as a yacht rocker. It's a different it's a
it's a it's a little bit different era. Although some
of the offerings can fall into the yacht rock category,

(01:13:06):
and I'll just leave it at that, and there's I
have a very specific reason for doing this tomorrow, So
that'll be on tomorrow's program, and then on Thursday's program.

Speaker 2 (01:13:18):
We'll be on at the.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
Start of the program for nearly the same amount of
time as we will be on Wednesday, but from the
front up until three forty five. And we have long
worn softball. Texas will be in the SEC tournament as
the number three seed, and we know now that they
will be playing the winner of the matchup between the

(01:13:41):
sixth seed Florida and the eleven seed Ole Miss. Ole
Miss scored a run in the bottom of the first
to make it one nothing. That was the final score,
one to nothing, as Ole Miss eliminated the fourteen seed Missouri.

(01:14:01):
So Ole Miss will play Florida tomorrow and the winner
of that matchup will play Texas on Thursday. The other game,
by the way, today the twelve seed Georgia run ruled
the thirteen seed Kentucky ate nothing to advance. Tonight, the
ten seed Alabama plays the fifteen seed Auburn. So that's

(01:14:24):
where that is. But in terms of the actual tournament
for Texas. Then the Longhorns will be taking on the
winner of the match up tomorrow, and that matchup tomorrow
will be at four o'clock in the afternoon, same time
that the Longhorns will play schedule to play on Thursday.

(01:14:46):
The sixth seed Florida the eleven seed Old miss The
Auburn Alabama winner tonight will play the seven seed South
Carolina tomorrow evening at seven. Georgia of the twelve seed
advance by beating the thirteen seed Kentucky eight nothing, so
they will play Arkansas the five seed, and it'll get
started tomorrow with the eight to nine match up Mississippi

(01:15:07):
State in LSU tomorrow. So Oklahoma is the one, Texas
A and M is the two seed, Texas is the three,
Tennessee is the four. For those of you wondering, Texas
could see Texas A and M in the semifinals if
they advance, and they could well see Oklahoma in the
championship of the SEC Softball Tournament if they advance there.
The SEC Baseball Tournament isn't for another two well two

(01:15:31):
weeks from the day actually. It begins at Hoover Metropolitan
Stadium in Hoover, Alabama, that's on the south side of Birmingham,
and Texas is trying to lock down the double by
finishing in the top four.

Speaker 2 (01:15:45):
In fact, they're trying to lock.

Speaker 1 (01:15:46):
Down being the number one seed in the tournament and
the number one overall seed for the NCAA Tournament, which
begins the following week. But first things first, they have
two more series in SEC play. They play this weekend
Friday night here at UFCU dish Fowk Field against the

(01:16:08):
Florida Gators, and that contest on Friday will be at
six thirty, and then a Saturday game at one o'clock
and a Sunday game at one o'clock, and then they
have no midweek game next week. They play at Oklahoma Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday. Six thirty, six thirty, and two o'clock are
the three start times for that. So tonight's game against

(01:16:28):
Lamars we mentioned is the final non conference game of
the regular season against that backdrop. Let's hear the thoughts
that this was just a few moments ago. I was
down in the Texas dugout visiting with the head coach,
Jim slas Nagle. As long worn fans get to know
you and your coaching staff even more during the course
of the season. I'm sure they'd be kind of curious
to get your philosophy on because you haven't had this

(01:16:50):
situation like this where you come off the disappointment of
what happened in faevl over of the weekend. Do you
and your guys as well as your players. Are you
as anxious to get back on the field right away
or you're more into the.

Speaker 2 (01:17:04):
Evalue that we look at it and then go back
at Where where do you stand with that?

Speaker 5 (01:17:08):
Oh, you want to get back on the field, for sure,
you want to you want to play. Uh, you know,
I think it varies from time to time, team to team.
You could have a you could have a team where
you're looking for rest.

Speaker 2 (01:17:18):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:17:19):
Sometimes I've just depends on how banged up you are,
that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (01:17:22):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:17:23):
We've had the flu running through our team a little
bit in the last week, so that affects some things.
But at the end of the day, getting back on
the field and hopefully getting a better taste in your mouth.
Even though we're playing and we're playing an awesome team
tonight thirty seven wins, and we know how tough they
always play during the midweek games and what they're going
to roll out their pitchingise. So it's good for us.

(01:17:43):
You need to play and it's such a pretty day
an any any game in dishwalks a good day.

Speaker 1 (01:17:49):
Yeah, especially after this morning it looked like we need
an art to get to the ballpark, but now it's now,
it's good.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
With regard to the conversations that.

Speaker 1 (01:17:58):
You and Max have with your guys, mean, like you
said repeated throughout the weekend, you can't have the type
of free passes that happened the course of the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
What's what's the message of the.

Speaker 1 (01:18:07):
Guys about how you avoid that and be able to
get them back on the being the way they've been doing.

Speaker 5 (01:18:12):
Yeah, I think I think we just remind them of
who we are and what we stand for. And I
mean we haven't. We have We've hit some We've hit
a fair amount of guys this year. Obviously that's a
whole different conversation. I think it's player to player. Uh,
but we haven't really, we haven't walked a ton of guys.
We're not gonna as great of a strike throwing team
as I would like for us to be. But I

(01:18:33):
think Max, you know, I had a conversation with the
team in general, uh yesterday about getting back to your
I mean, that's why you have core values. That's why
you have an anchor. That's why you have an identity.
Is you when things, when you know what hits the fan,
you have something to go to. And so, uh, two
of our core values are toughness and excellence. And toughness,

(01:18:53):
we need to show some toughness. I didn't think we
were the toughest team on the field. I think we
thought we got punched in the mouth on the first game,
and we didn't respet on very well, especially in the mound.
Guys were hesitant to throw the ball in.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
The strike zone.

Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
And and then, from an excellence means the best version
of yourself, and we certainly weren't the best version of
ourselves on the mound. I thought we played solid defense,
had the one miscommunication on the pop up on the
fly ball on the right field, but we were just
completely out of character. And that's you know, I guess
that that can happen in a season. It's way more
about how you respond to it. So and then Max,

(01:19:26):
I think had some reminding conversations with the pictures about
for example, when we throw, you know, the ball in
the strike zone, just in the strike zone, and they
put it in play, what is the batting average? It's
actually under one hundred. When we throw the ball to
the middle of the strike zone, middle middle of the
strike zone, what is the batting average, Well, it's a

(01:19:48):
little bit over one hundred. Right, So we all remember
the ones that get hammered. But just reminding them about
when you throw the ball in the strike zone, you're
gonna win more often than not.

Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
All and all you.

Speaker 5 (01:19:58):
Get a look at is a guy like being you know,
and you know he just throws strikes. You know, there's
no super elite pitch, but especially in these Tuesday games,
depending on who you're playing, depending on the conditions, strikes win.
And we're you know, most teams are trying to try
out pitchers and you're trying to figure out hoping this
guy does this, or this young pitcher catches fire, and
you know, like it Drew Rerick or Flores earlier in

(01:20:20):
the year. And now you know we're at the point.
I mean, Cody, when Cody Howard gets in the game tonight,
he should be pitching with a lot of confidence. He's
been pitching awesome, ye, I mean really good and so
and we're gonna need guys like that if we're gonna
advance in a postseason. So yeah, there were some real
heartfelt conversations yesterday, but at the end of the day,
you got to go prove it on a baseball field,
and that's what the game gives you tonight.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
And so they have that opportunity this evening, Texas against
Lamar six fifteen airtime, six point thirty first pitch. Kate
Being will start for the log Warns this evening, and
he is obviously developed into that fourth starter for Texas.
So Being will start for the log Warns this evening,

(01:21:00):
you know, on a two nine to one ERA, and
Lamar will go with a right hander in Carter Sutton,
who is a senior right hander. Actually began his collegiate
career at Winthrop and then transferred in. He's five and
two and a four six eight er. All right, We've
got some more NBA and some college football notes to
get to when we continue here.

Speaker 2 (01:21:20):
I'm thirteen under the zone
