Speaker 1 (00:00):
But I did again kim a microphone coming off of
its support.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Beam here only you can do them only.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Apparently, I guess the only one. I just go to
maneuver it and it pops out of it screws back on,
but it'll it'll take a minute to do that, so
I'll just.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
If you're watching us on YouTube or Twitter or Facebook,
you can see Craig holding the microphone like you're old
the old time radio broadcaster.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
A lot of them will do that.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
You know the guy I think he still is on
like overnight on one of the things. What's his name?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Pharrell on the bench A guy as as that boys.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
He he came to this radio station when we were
in the other building way back this would have been
late nineties and when we were at seventh of Lamar
and Pharrell on the bench. Nice guy, really nice guy.
Uh coards.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
He has had v anyway his whole deal.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
And we watched him doing his show when we set
him up in a conference rooms in Austin for something
and he just kind of roams around the room with
a handheld mic really back and before that that's how
he was doing it, at least back then. Anyway, it
was how he was doing. It wasn't stationary, just kind
of roaming around. I don't know if it's nervous energy
or just the way he rolls the way he operated,
(01:18):
at least the way he did.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Back then.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So anyway, I was talking about going into the break
about the bowl games that Texas has played in and
having had the opportunity to to work on the broadcast
both as an analyst, and those games I mentioned the
Sun Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, and Cotton Bowl for Texas and
(01:46):
then one am I leaving out in ninety five Sugar
Bowl as analyst and and then Holiday Bowl and then
in the play by play role Cotton Bowl in two
and then after that was another Holiday Bowl that was
a loss to Washington State three. Then the back to
(02:09):
back Rose Bowls the one over Michigan and O four,
and then of course the National Championship Game the win
over USC and five. Then it was Alamo Bowl and
six back to Holiday Bowl and O seven Fiesta Bowl
in eight, then nine the National BCS National Championship Game
against Alabama had.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The losing record.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
In twenty ten, back to back Alamo Bowls in twenty eleven, No,
it was another Holiday Bowl in twenty eleven, and then
back to back Holiday Bowls or Alamo Bowls in twenty
twelve and twenty thirteen. First time they were in the
Texas Bowl in twenty fourteen. They didn't make a bowl
in fifteen or sixteen, and then under Tom Herman there
(02:50):
was a Texas Bowl in seventeen, and then of course
the Big Sugar Bowl went over Georgia following twenty eighteen,
and then the back to back Alamo Bowls again in
twenty two, nineteen and twenty twenty. No bowl appearance the
first year under Sark and then Alamo Bowl in twenty
twenty two, and then of course last year the College
Football Playoff with the Sugar Bowl and the loss to Washington.
(03:16):
If the long Worns win this standalone playoff game and
it only had one of those that was the then
BCS National Championship, it wasn't affiliated with a bowl. It
was out in California in Pasadena, the Rose Bowl, but
it was a standalone postseason game.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's what this is. This playoff game is standalone.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
But if they win, they moved to the quarterfinals and
that would mean going to the Peach Bowl because it's
part of the bowl system. At that point, and that
would be the first time ever for Texas.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
To play in the Peach Bowl.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
If they then win that, then it rolls back to
what I was saying at the top of the hour,
that they would go to the Cotton Bowl. And that's
what certainly Long wrnon fans would hope for because it
would mean they would be in the semifinals.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
In all probably.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
It would take kind of an unusual well, it would
take an extraordinary set of circumstances for it not to
be the Cotton Bowl. If they reached the semifinals, it
would mean Oregon would be out, and I think it
would mean Boise State would be out. It'd have to
be higher seated teams than Texas getting knocked out in
order for the Long Orange to play in the Orange Bowl,
(04:23):
which is the other semifinal instead of the Cotton Bowl.
But all signs would point to being in Arlington and
Jerry World for the Cotton Bowl in the national semifinals.
If they win this Saturday over Clemson and then win
the following week or week and a half when they
play on New Year's Day, they would play at the
Peach Bowl, a Chick fil A Peach Bowl in Atlanta
back at Mercedes Benz Stadium and that would be against
(04:44):
Arizona State. If they win both of those games, they
would then roll back to the State of Texas and
would in all probability play in the Cotton Bowl against
Oregon on January tenth, and then if they win that,
then they go to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. Again,
(05:04):
that's a standalone postseason game. It's not a bowl game.
This is a standalone national championship game, which would be
a third trip to Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, is
what it would be if it works out that way.
Start pointed out at the news conference yesterday that it
was definitely going to be he said, a road and
(05:28):
how things would be different, and they'd have to stay
healthy and there'd have to be a lot of things
to go into it in order for them to get
on that role.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And it would be seventeen games, which.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Might appear to be a little mind boggling to focus
at seventeen games. I should point out high school football
this weekend, several of the teams are playing their sixteenth game,
their final game of the year, and the FCS playoffs
can include teams that wind up playing sixteen games if
they didn't receive a buy. So not unprecedented, but certainly
(06:03):
been unusual to see it happen that way. Coming up
in a few minutes, Greg Tepper, Managing editor, Dave campbells
Texas Football magazine, which one is, and we'll talk about
college football and high school football. We'll do that later
this hour. After that, we'll hear a little bit of
sound from Quinn yours from yesterday from the media availability,
(06:26):
so we'll here. We'll hear some sound from Quinn coming up,
the long orange quarterback who is feeling better and better,
and that's good. Same thing with Calvin Banks. Those guys
are feeling a lot better, so that's good to hear,
and it'll give give them an opportunity to be full
blast ready to go against Clemson on Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Our coverage on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Will begin at noon with countdown with the show coming
your way at noon, counting down toward it from Bevo
Boulevards in the wind Ship Circle area over there, and
that will be in the in the you guys called
it the Hook Them Hangout all season long, was at
the Deal.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Them Hang Out Unbeeva Boulevard, winship circle.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, it's got all of those identity points on there.
So Cam will be joined over there by Mike Hardball,
Harge and Mark Henry. That's at noon Network pre game
at two o'clock and the kickoff, i can tell you,
is scheduled scheduled for three ten, with the possibility of
(07:32):
a five to ten minute slide depending on the length
of the Penn State SMU game because that's the first game,
but they're kicking off just past eleven, so it probably
will be done in time before Texas kicks off on that.
All right, Up next, we visit with Greg Tepper to
talk I go and college football in the state. When
we continue on Sports Medio AM thirteen under the zone
(07:53):
