Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good afternoon, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome to the program on a hump Day a Wednesday
here on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone. My
name is Craig Way, so glad to have you alongside.
Glad you could join us. And as I always say
on Wednesday, if it is truly getting over the hump
for you, hopefully that goes well enough and gets you
downhill toward the weekend. If it's just the start of
(00:21):
the weekend a week for you, I hope he gets
off to a good starting.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
If it's the end of your week, good on you.
I hope it goes well.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Joined as always by the producer of the program, Cameron D.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Parker.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
The D on the birth certificate stands for Dallas, as
in the Cowboys who are one and oh and looking
to go to and oh against the New Orleans Saints
and the home opener at Jerry World this Sunday.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
How are you feeling about that? Cam?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Even though he won't watch it because he says, you're
not going to watch Cowboys unless they and until they
reach NFC Championship.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yeah, we'll not watch live. Actually, I'm watching tape from
the game on Sunday against the Browns. Marvin Over's welcome back,
so glad to see him in the Cowboys uniform and
played very well. But we'll see the Saints dispatch, Caroline.
I mean that game was before the half. It to
the first quarter. I mean Brian Shan threw a pick
on the first player of the game. And then kind
(01:14):
of the same thing with Cleveland, where that game was
pretty much over after the Cowboys scored that first touchdown
dak to Brandon Cook. So we'll see which team after
Week one actually will continue that good play. I have
a feeling that the Saints' Week one win isn't all
that it appears to be. That the Cowboys will take
care of business, but this is also one of those
(01:35):
games that you know, maybe it's New Orleans, but I
think Mike Zimmers defense looked really good in Week one.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I think that continues.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Against Derek Carr, who doesn't really scare me as a quarterback.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I just heard you say something I wasn't aware of,
so I just want to make sure I'm weird.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
You're not watching the Cowboys live, but you are willing
to go back and look at them on tape, but
look at a replay of the game.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, like go back and watch the full game, but
there's certain things from like overshown and how you play one.
He looked good, Yeah, look good now watching it live,
different story. Okay, all right, sticking to his principles on that.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Uh, let me tell you what's coming up on the
program the day, we're gonna hear from Sark from the

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Have you ever been to the Chicken and Pickle? I
haven't either. I haven't either.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Sounds like a great spot for Coaches Show though, Yeah, yeah,
this place definitely a coaches show.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Listen. Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Mike Gundhy I had been doing his show for years,
I think from Slim Chickens mhm uh in still Water.
They had also done it at a couple other places
like that. Last week I think I saw a tweet
where he did his show from a senior citizen retirement
(06:39):
center is where he'd done it. Okay, yeah, uh huh.
So anyway, Andy Everdell joined us from the Chicken and
Pickle and San Antonio.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
He thinks it was like four no, not bingo, not
Bingo nineteen right.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So anyway, before we get into some other things I
want to do, I wanted to make note of this. Obviously,
it was twenty three years ago today, September eleven, two
thousand and one, when terrorist attacked the United States and
the thousands of people who lost their lives in the
(07:17):
nine to eleven attacks, both on the World Trade Center
towers and United Flight ninety three as well. And that
is one of those deals where if you're old enough
to have really been going through it at the time
or remember that, you remember exactly where you were and
(07:39):
what happened at the time. Cameron, I think you were,
what not quite four years old? Was that the deal
when it happened.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I would have been three? Yeah? Yeah? When do you
turn four November? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Okay, So you probably have no memory of it, or
do you No? Yeah, you were You were the same
age I was when President Kennedy was shot and I
don't remember that, but yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
That kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
But I do remember where I was on nine to eleven.
I've told this story before, but I guess it bears
retelling only because it's my way of remembering and never
forgetting those who lost their lives on this day twenty
three years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
That day was a Tuesday, and at.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
This radio station where I was working the first go around,
we were doing a high school football game of the
week on Thursday nights. Thursday night high school football game
of the Week broadcast, and that particular week, a man
CB knows where I'm going with this because it involved
(08:52):
his alma mater. We were going to do a game
on Thursday night at a park from the roof where
we always worked between what was then Lanier High School
it's now Navarro College Prep. But it was Lanear against
Kerrville TYV non district game, third week of the season,
(09:16):
just like it's the third week of the season right now.
And in those days, what I used to do is
I would drive to meet with the coach, sit down
with them, you know, get all the requisite information need
of the rosters, the too deep, the stats, the coaches bio,
all that kind of stuff, and do.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
A visit with them and record a pregame interview.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
But the biggest benefit of it was just to be
able to sit down across from the coach and visit
with him about his team. And all the coaches in
this area have always been really great about it. You
just did work out the time, and we would work
out the time. By the way, since COVID and since
the pandemic, we've gotten a lot more adept on zooms.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Than back in the day in those kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
But even though Kerrville is, you know, down southwest of
San Antonio, I had still planned to drive down there
and meet with the coach I had already met with
and at the time of think, Wade Johnston was still
the coach at at Lanier back then, I had already
I'd visited with him on the day before, on Monday
(10:24):
and got the information, and then I was to get
up that morning, Tuesday morning and drive to Kerrville and
meet with their coach, Mark Smith. And that Monday night,
right before I got to bed, I got sick.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I fell ill.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It was mainly just one of those bug things passing through,
but I had fever and chills and all this kind
of stuff. I went to bed hoping that i'd you know,
be able to sleep through it and be all right.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I woke up.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
About six o'clock the next morning, obviously, this was about
two and a half hours before the attack, and I
still felt awful. And I had planned to leave about
six thirty. I was supposed to meet him around nine
o'clock or so. But I called the field house and
left a message with the coach. I said, Coach, I'm
not feeling well today. I'm not going to be able
to make it down there. Uh, you know whatever, we'll
(11:13):
you know, maybe we'll visit of a phone, or I'll
catch up with you on the field Thursday or something,
you know, that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
And I went back to bed because it.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Felt awful, and about I slept straight through it. About
ten o'clock, Chad Hastings called me, and Chad of course
would work with me here, work with me across town
and Chad was the analyst on the broadcast. And Chad
called and I answered, and he said, hey, I just
(11:42):
want to get your thought on something.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And I was, you know, just waking up. I'd felt awful.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I said, I didn't make it to curve Lfl terror
as well, in light of in light of things was.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
The way you put it?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Do we even, I mean, is it even going to
happen the game? And I said, it was just a
twenty four hour bug. I'm sure I'll be fine, I'll
be okay. He goes, no, I'm talking about everything else.
I said, what are you talking about? And he said
if you've been asleep? I said yeah, because I was sick,
and he goes, turn on your TV. The world's gone crazy,
(12:16):
that's what he said.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I was like, what. And so then then I went
and I turned on the TV and I saw what
had happened.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Oddly, strangely enough, the games were played that weekend, and
this might surprise some people. In forty eight of the
fifty states high school activities carried on. The only ones
that didn't were New York and maybe Massachusetts. I can't remember.
(12:45):
It was forty eight out of the fifty states. They
elected to go forward and play the game. So we
called the game Thursday Night and it was just weird
and eerie and felt awkward. It was a blowout too,
I mean Curville, Tybee Handley. Well, we did that game
and the next night, this was two thousand and one,
Keith Moreland and I were doing the Westlake broadcast. Back then,
(13:06):
and we go over to College Station to do Westlake
at A and M consolidated and it was a really
patriotic combined halftime show from the bands and it was
really nice. Westlake ended up losing that game. They were
kind of surprised lost at that game, but it was
(13:27):
just the whole thing was strange.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
And then obviously when people.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Were thinking about college football, Texas had an open date
that weekend. They were off that weekend, so they weren't
even playing. But you know, as we know, college football
games across the country were rescheduled or canceled as a
result of that. So and it was ten days before
the baseball season started up again. It was obviously tragic
and sad and strange time. But those were my memories
(13:53):
of what happened twenty three years ago. Today on nine
to eleven, All right, up next, we're going to hear
from Long WRNS head coach Steve Sarkisi when we tenue
on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone and the
IR radio app

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I said, I didn't make it to curve Lfl terror
as well, in light of in light of things was.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
The way you put it?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Do we even, I mean, is it even going to
happen the game? And I said, it was just a
twenty four hour bug. I'm sure I'll be fine, I'll
be okay. He goes, no, I'm talking about everything else.
I said, what are you talking about? And he said
if you've been asleep? I said yeah, because I was sick,
and he goes, turn on your TV. The world's gone crazy,
(12:16):
that's what he said.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I was like, what. And so then then I went
and I turned on the TV and I saw what
had happened.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Oddly, strangely enough, the games were played that weekend, and
this might surprise some people. In forty eight of the
fifty states high school activities carried on. The only ones
that didn't were New York and maybe Massachusetts. I can't remember.
(12:45):
It was forty eight out of the fifty states. They
elected to go forward and play the game. So we
called the game Thursday Night and it was just weird
and eerie and felt awkward. It was a blowout too,
I mean Curville, Tybee Handley. Well, we did that game
and the next night, this was two thousand and one,
Keith Moreland and I were doing the Westlake broadcast. Back then,
(13:06):
and we go over to College Station to do Westlake
at A and M consolidated and it was a really
patriotic combined halftime show from the bands and it was
really nice. Westlake ended up losing that game. They were
kind of surprised lost at that game, but it was
(13:27):
just the whole thing was strange.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
And then obviously when people.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Were thinking about college football, Texas had an open date
that weekend. They were off that weekend, so they weren't
even playing. But you know, as we know, college football
games across the country were rescheduled or canceled as a
result of that. So and it was ten days before
the baseball season started up again. It was obviously tragic
and sad and strange time. But those were my memories
(13:53):
of what happened twenty three years ago. Today on nine
to eleven, All right, up next, we're going to hear
from Long WRNS head coach Steve Sarkisi when we tenue
on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone and the
