Speaker 1 (00:00):
Friday afternoon on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone,
Craig Way, alongside the producer Cameron Parker, we're with you
up until five o'clock this afternoon and getting you ready
for a very big weekend the Texas Logorne and Georgia
Bulldogs tomorrow night at Royal Texas Memorial Stadium, and then
of course there's the F one Race, So you know,
(00:22):
it's a big weekend. I take it you're pretty fired
up about all this.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Excited for tomorrow's game for sure. I mean it's been
a game Craig that when the special came out, everyone
circled and a lot of people expected, including myself, Georgia
to be the number one team and it's Texas, and
Georgia is still a top five team. Of course, after
they're almost come from behind victory against Alabama and then
(00:48):
losing at the very end Ryan Williams and seeing touchdown
and Carson Beck throwing the interception at the very end
of the game. But it's going to be a fantastic game.
It may end up being probably the loudest d KR
has been since Alabama twenty twenty two. That was the
lot of the scheme that I was at in attendance
for was Alabama twenty twenty two. I had heard nothing
(01:09):
like that before, and then I'm excited for F one.
It went last year, good to go again on Sunday.
So it's gonna be a fun weekend. Gonna be a
busy weekend, but it's gonna be absolutely great. Weather in
the mid eighties, sun will be out. It's a fantastic
time of the year to be in Austin.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
No doubt about it. All Right, I'm trying to remember,
were you in school the last time Texas played Georgia
when they played in the I was.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I was.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I was a junior at Texas. I actually watched the
game at Hickory Tavern in North Carolina with my friends,
who thought I was absolutely crazy because I was celebrating
a Sugar Bowl victory, like we had just won the
national championship. And like Sam Ellinger, I thought Texas back
(01:59):
not the case, but it was, you know, because Texas
hadn't had a facery like that since I don't know,
I Nebraska and the Big Twelve championship, but I don't know.
I don't know quite some time.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, it's been been a little while. I didn't realize
Hickory Tavern was a chain. I've been to the one
in North Myrtle.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Beach really okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It's pretty good and a good place to watch the game.
But I didn't I didn't realize that that was a chain.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I didn't realize it either. I just thought that was
a one off location.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yellow the panel outside of the red block lettering, it's
red block letters.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, okay, all right, wow, I didn't realize that.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Okay, I had to begged and the chains the channel
for the Texas game, which was a little bit weird.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
What else are they gonna have it all on New
Year's Night? What else are they gonna have the on
you know, old UFC reruns?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I mean, what do you think it was that? I
think maybe the Hornets were playing New Year's Night something
like that.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Okay, good that they changed it. Then. Well.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
The reason why I brought that up up is this,
of course, is the first matchup between Texas and Georgia
since that Sugar Bowl, which the Long Orange won twenty
eight twenty one. But the score really was not indicative.
The Long Wruns dominated a lot of game. They were
up twenty eight to seven out the fourth quarter. But
(03:19):
the things that we remember most about that game two
things I either think you tell me if I'm wrong.
One is that the Long Wars, like I said, had
some dominance. Sam Alllinger played really well. And the other
thing was Bevo versus Ug, because people remember, somebody thought
it was a smart idea to take Uga around Bevo.
Anybody knows anything about animals knows that cattle and dogs
(03:42):
do not like one another, especially cattle not liking dogs,
and they have a s a definite size advantage. So
if you've never seen it, you probably didn't live here
in Austin at the time. If you've never seen you
can google it Bevo versus Uga.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Or just go on Twitter or ESPN or the fleta
and you'll see like seven different stories about it.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
There was an oral history of it on ESPN yesterday.
I didn't read it, really, I I know that I
know people. I knew the photographers and media members who
are right there, and some ended up getting hit Bipevin.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yeah, yeah, and wanted to sue over stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
One of them, that's Sue, and one of them is
no longer in the state.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah right, Okay, So the reason why I even bring
this up, there will be no rematch. There'll be no sequel.
Ugga eleven is not making the trip. His owner, Charles Siler,
told the Austin American Statesman that travel logistics made the
(04:41):
trip difficulty, said two and a half year old English bulldog.
He also skipped Georgia's road game at Kentucky earlier this season.
His quote was, that's a lot of wear and tear
on the dog those games way out in the middle
of the country. Because we're way out in the middle
of the country, you understand, are hard for us to
get to this dog that we have. Well, he's not new,
(05:01):
but he's only two and a half and we haven't
flown him yet and he hasn't been on a team
bus yet. The dog usually misses a few games a year,
and the seventeen hour drive did us in on this one.
He said, we'll be watching on TV. It's sure to
be a good game. The previous Ugga was the one
Uga ten that had the run in with Bevo where
(05:24):
he knocked over the police barricade and appeared to charge
at him.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Neither mascot was hurting the situation.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
The two did take a photo together later that day,
ug A ten was known as Q. He passed away
in January. I do find it interesting also that the
owner did not provide this UGA's real name.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Isn't it Boom?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Is it? See? I don't know. I didn't realize that
boom Okay chip.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Towers were an article for the Atlanta Journal Constitution in
talk with Charles Charles Siler, the owner, and the quote
from Siler hilarious that Ugga or Nonah Boom is really
young and immature. And this is a direct quote, crazy
as hell end quote.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Okay, all right, and he the bulldog.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Eric talking about an English bulldog named Boom Boom on
the No Fly list.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Well, and the interesting thing is is that.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
In this story that I have, the one from the Statesman,
he never refers to the dog by name. It's always
the dog. That's a lot of wear and tear on
the dog, This dog that we have, while he's not new,
blah blah blah, the dog usually misses a few games
a year. I thought that was kind of odd that
it would be.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
That, So now correct me if I'm wrong, Craig, I
don't really recall the opponent mascot really ever. Coming to
dk R because I was thinking about it, and at
first I thought, well, maybe it's just not allowed at Texas.
But then, of course with this story, it definitely is
a loud just opposing teams never have really chosen to
(07:00):
bring ony. I can't remember ever seeing the live mascot
ever at a Texas home game from the opposing.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Now let's let's do a little review here. First of all,
when Mississippi State was here, I don't even do they
have a bulldoye?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
They do?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Okay, we do, right, Yeah, Well I didn't see him
here and their band wasn't here, so okay, so there
was that. I can promise you it's called Dax.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
By the way, u.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Elman Road does not have a Warhawk, Pretty sure of that,
Pretty sure. Utsa does not have a live road runner.
And Colorado State, if they have a ram, they did
not bring him to this. Okay, that's this year. So
if you go back to Big twelve things you think
about the teams. Kansas State did not bring a wildcat
with them. They don't have one even up there on
(07:48):
home games. I haven't seen one. Baylor no longer has
that live bear mascot. You know they had that back
in the day. When people thought it was okay to
keep the bear in the cage up there and feeded
Oreos and coke. Dr Pepper's excuse me, Waco, Dr Pepper,
the Oreos and doctor Pepper, and it's dental work was
(08:09):
so bad because I knew people that actually paid to
have the bear's teeth redone for a veterinary dentist. So
when they played Houston, I don't think they have Shasta
any more there on the sidelines. I didn't see it
the game when they played over there. And and in
other words, to your point, they never brought him here,
(08:32):
him bring the live mascots here. That was just one
of those side pieces, was like, hey, let's do this.
Is there going to be a rematch BiVO and Uggah.
First of all, to say there's a rematch would be
to imply that there was a match in the beginning.
There wasn't a match. It was a chance encounter by
August handlers having brought the dog too close to Beava
(08:56):
where he charged at it. You know, there wasn't. It
wasn't like the dog wanted the match or rematch or
anything like that.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
So weird. I don't think it's kind of strange.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
About it, but no no ugo uga bevo rematch. All right,
up next, we'll have some other college football news and
we'll talk some Texas basketball. We'll hear from Rodney Terry,
long worn men's coach as well. We'll continue on sports
