He's a Texas legend, a Hallof Fame broadcaster, the voice of the
Texas Longhorns, and your host ofthe Craigway Show. Here he is now
Craig Way. So we began ournumber two a program, Craig Way alongside

(00:32):
pretty sure Kamry Parford. Glad tohave you with this as we head through
this Friday after you're gonna get readyfor the weekend. I was reading yesterday
some early early predictions or at leastrankings, if you will, of college

(00:52):
football quarterbacks, and you know,again, it's like the opinions of of
sports talk show host. I meanthat, and four point fifty apiece will
get you the two iced coffees thatI picked up at Starbucks today for me
and Cam coming in it. Youknow, didn't amount to the hill of

(01:14):
beans once the team's got on thefield, but is interesting to have that
advanced working informational knowledge going into say, like next week, when we're at
SEC Football media Days, things ofthat nature. And Adlons had quinn Ewers

(01:38):
rated as its number one Heisman Trophyfavorite, much to the surprise of some
folks. I think others might havethought maybe Carson Beck might have been the
one. But now I'm here totell you for those of you who are
into the wagering part of such things, and in specific here ESPN debt,

(02:04):
you're you're not normally of the wayduring type party. Can No, I
steer clear of it because I don'twant to go broke. Yeah, my
friends, however, heavily involved inbecause it's not legal in Texas, but
it is legal in other states,right, And so I have some other
people who are into it, andthey'll always reach out to me for advice,

(02:27):
and I told them, uh iswhat is what Eddie Orrin? Now
we'll say it's just just give methem money and I'll save you from from
blowing it. It's what Eddie Osays, of course. So but I
do keep up with the odds anduh favorites and all of that that that
always interests me, especially the gamelines. Happy belated birthday to the broadcast
partner Eddie Orn, who had abirthday yesterday. By the way. Uh

(02:51):
yeah, I will tell you,yeah, just listen, let me let
me just see you. And insteadof you're just throwing away, just give
it to me, at least you'regiving it to somebody. Uh. That
sort of thing. ESPN bet hasannounced its favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.
It is a quarterback. It's notQuinn yours. It's not Carson Beck.

(03:16):
Did you see who ESPN BET's favoriteto win the Heisman Trophy is?
Yeah, And usually the lines don'tchange like this this early in the season.
Usually the favorite remains the favorite untilat least maybe week one or week
two, a week three. Buta big change here and the other July

(03:37):
has a new favorite for the Heismanone. Yeah, because Beck and youwers
had been kind of one and twoand whatever. But the new favorite to
win the Heisman Trophy is former OklahomaSooner and now Oregon Duck quarterback Dylan Gabriel
at a plus seven point fifty theodds they are not by a lot over

(03:57):
Carson Beck, but enough plus eighthundred over back plus nine hundred is yours.
Jackson Dart plus fifteen hundred. WillHoward you mentioned you brought him up
yesterday plus sixteen hundred. Nico.I think it's Amaava of Tennessee plus sixteen
hundred. Jalen Milroe of Alabama plussixteen hundred. Garrett Nussmeyer from Flower Mountain,

(04:18):
Texas, USA, and LSU aplus twenty two hundred, Cambard to
Miami at plus twenty two hundred,and Connor Wigman of Texas A and m
also at plus twenty two hundred.So those are Gabriel began this month with
ten to one odds at ESPN bet. He had been as long as fourteen

(04:40):
to one at some other sports booksbefore an uptick of action showed up on
Gabriel over the Fourth of July weekendand the super book in Las Vegas started
receiving bets on Gabriel on Sunday,and it caused his odds to tighten from
fourteen to one to nine to one. So for what that's worth, that

(05:02):
is that's your new Heisman Trophy favorite, recording to ESPN Bet, So if
you're into that, that's your betting. You're betting odds favorite is bet Mintey
Kiffen passed away. I don't knowif you've seen that. Of course.

(05:25):
Miney Kiffin was a great, greatdefensive coach, spent more than fifty years
in the NFL and the collegiate ranksas well. He's the one who basically
invented the Tampa two defense, workingwith Tony dungeee, which helped the Bucks

(05:46):
win the Super Bowl in two thousandand two. His defense in his time
at Tampa Bay allowed the fewest pointsper game while ranking second in both yards
allowed and total takeaways, So hewas around for a long time. Served
as a defensive coornade for the MinnesotaVikings, the New Orleans Saints, and

(06:06):
the Cowboys, and he was honoredin March by the Pro Football Hall of
Fame for its Awards for Excellence program. He had coached at Nebraska as a
GA. He was the head coachin NCIS State for three years. It
was the only time he was everhead coach. He went back to the
NFL and was with Green Bay ineighty three and then later on. And

(06:28):
of course he's the father of LaneKiffin, the coach at Ole Miss.
He was eighty four years of ageand passed away, did Bonnie Kiffin,
And actually he coached under his son, which he did, which is kind
of rare in in his career timestimes USC did it, and at Florida
Atlantic he did it, and atOle Miss as a player assistant, which
just goes to show you, whichonly goes to show you that for all

(06:54):
of the jack Wagon actions and wordsthat Lane Kiffin can rank out and he
can. He's got a lot offootball smarts in him, oh for sure.
And for him to bring his dadalong as a defensive we're going to
to handle the defense while Lanyekiff andwherever the offensive made sense. That's why
he was able to turn around programslike that and at Ole miss so he'll

(07:19):
he'll definitely be missed passing away atthe age of eighty four. All right,
coming up, Like I said,something I don't normally do a lot
of, but I think it's worthlooking at. Anyway, There's some notable
things that came from it, Sowe'll do that with the SPS and get
some other topics to get to whenwe continue. Hey also want to remind

(07:41):
you that starting next week, we'regoing to give away copies of Dave Campbell's
Texas Football Magazine, and we'll tellyou more about that on how you win
a copy of that. We'll dothat and more when we continue on sports
