WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>We're back with Craig Way, a voice of the Longhornsports.

2
00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Longhorns playing this weekend in Dallas and actually in Arlington

3
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:09.519
<v Speaker 1>at AT and T Stadium in the Cotton Bowl semi final,

4
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the College football Playoff. They're playing Ohio State, which is

5
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>slowly becoming a rivalry game if you ask me, going

6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>back many years, but before we went to the break,

7
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I asked Craig, if you had to do one of

8
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the sports that you call, you know, Craig does football, basketball, baseball,

9
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 1>which one would you do for free?

10
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>That's like asking you would you would you spin Duran,

11
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.920
<v Speaker 2>DURAN or ABC for free? You know, back at the

12
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 2>eighties there, you know, It's like it's like who was

13
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>once to work for free?

14
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 3>Right now? I love I love what I do obviously.

15
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's a variation what you said, Sandy on the

16
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 2>question when folks ask me what's your favorite sport to do?

17
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 2>And I always give the broadcaster cop out answer. And

18
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>while it is a cop out answer, it is rooted

19
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.240
<v Speaker 2>in truth. And that is whatever's in season. And what

20
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean by that it's more of a physiological and

21
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 2>psychological thing in season. For example, in September, on a

22
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Saturday evening. There's no place I'd rather be than dk

23
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>R Texas Memorial Statedum's one hundred and one thousand fans there,

24
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:15.799
<v Speaker 2>and you feel like you're supposed to be there. I

25
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>will also tell you that in March in the NCAA

26
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 2>basketball tournam there's nothing quite like describing a Final Four

27
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.959
<v Speaker 2>or an NCAA tournament game. There you feel you're supposed

28
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.079
<v Speaker 2>to be there. Same story in Omaha for the College

29
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>World Series, that's a unique event. It's kind of a

30
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.480
<v Speaker 2>two week fortnighte that just kind of slowly unfolds and

31
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>you feel like you're supposed to be in Omaha. I

32
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 2>had somebody once call it the town that time forgot

33
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>because every day for about two weeks, you get up,

34
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 2>it's about eighty something degrees, You go to the ballpark,

35
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 2>you do a game. Then you go to either to

36
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.640
<v Speaker 2>an Italian restaurant or a steakhouse or in Omaha what

37
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 2>they have a lot of or Italian steakhouses. You go

38
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 2>there for dinner, You get up the next morning, you

39
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 2>do it all over again. Certain times a year, you

40
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 2>feel you're in the right place and should not be

41
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 2>anywhere else, And it just depends on the time of the.

42
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 4>Year, Craig, did you know I grew up in Omaha.

43
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 5>No, I didn't know that, though I love it in summertime. Yeah,

44
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:15.960
<v Speaker 5>it's a great tent, all right. Trust you're on the spot.

45
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 5>You got to ask Craig a question. If you don't

46
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.319
<v Speaker 5>have one, I can whisper one to you and you.

47
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 6>Can't ask them.

48
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.000
<v Speaker 7>Okay, but when I ask it, give me a look

49
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 7>to make tell me if it's a stupid question. A right,

50
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 7>But I have two questions, not unusual for me. My

51
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 7>first question, what of this past Longhorn season, this current

52
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:34.680
<v Speaker 7>Longhorn season? What was the game you loved calling the most?

53
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 7>Who did they play? What was the most exciting game

54
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.159
<v Speaker 7>for you this season?

55
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I would say, you know, it's kind of hard

56
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 2>not to get excited about a win over those guys

57
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 2>ninety five miles to the year, and the mere fact

58
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 2>that it was the restoration of the rivalry between Texas

59
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>and Texas.

60
00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, I like the fact.

61
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>That the company that sponsors, that has the title sponsor

62
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 2>on the game is a restoration company. So that's why

63
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 2>they called it the restoration of the rivalry and not

64
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.599
<v Speaker 2>just the renewal of the rivalry that was that was

65
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 2>really cool on Thanksgiving weekend.

66
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

67
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 2>I've got a lot of great memories in Texas against

68
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Texas A and M on even on Thanksgiving night. So

69
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I think a lot of that was really really cool.

70
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>So that probably that one.

71
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.199
<v Speaker 7>Okay, So that's funny that you say that, because my

72
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 7>second question is I love it when the Aggies wear

73
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 7>they're all black uniforms and they're all blacked out. Is

74
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 7>that something we can get the Longhorn stew because I

75
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 7>think that's so intimidating and super cool.

76
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 4>I keep asking Sandy and he's like.

77
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. I don't know if they would do

78
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:40.039
<v Speaker 6>that or not.

79
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Trisha, are you an Aggie?

80
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm not an Aggy, But they are all black uniforms.

81
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 4>Why can't other people do it too?

82
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:49.080
<v Speaker 6>It's scary.

83
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Well a lot do do it.

84
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 2>And what we've seen over the last fifteen years probably

85
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 2>is an elevator of black as a third designated home color.

86
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:06.800
<v Speaker 3>For a lot of teams.

87
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Oregon with its Nike based uniforms, you know, and all

88
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 2>that has all those different uniform combinations. Listen, there's two

89
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>things that come to my two quotes. Two things that

90
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 2>come to my one, the athletic director of Crystal Conti

91
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.240
<v Speaker 2>has said, our colors are orange and white. They're classic.

92
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 2>We don't want to mess with them that much. The

93
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 2>other is an old classic quote from when Daryl Royal

94
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 2>is the head coach and JB and Sandy are old

95
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>enough to remember Daryl Royal so that you know, somebody

96
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>asked them about why wouldn't you add another you know,

97
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 2>wear some black or something. This question goes all the

98
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>way back into the seventies to early eighties, and they said,

99
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 2>why wouldn't you change the uniform and where's something different?

100
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 2>He said, He goes, Hell, these are work clothes. We're

101
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 2>not going to candy them up. That was his quote

102
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 2>back then. I think there's probably the athletic department is

103
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 2>it feels pretty cool about out what they have. And

104
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you guys, this Texas is going to

105
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>wear white in the Cotton Bowl on Friday Night. Even

106
00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 2>though Texas is the designated home team. They've gotten really

107
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>fond of wearing those icy whites. Last year they were

108
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.519
<v Speaker 2>the designated home team in the Big curlt Championship and

109
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.240
<v Speaker 2>they wore those white uniforms when they blasted Oklahoma State

110
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 2>in the big CURLT championship game. The players choose that.

111
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 2>A lot of folks say, oh, I can't be are

112
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 2>they super? The players like wearing what they call those

113
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>icy whites, white helmet, white jersey top, white pants, or

114
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 2>as I say, on the air, trousers, white socks, white

115
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 2>shoes with burnt orange numerals, lettering and trim. They like

116
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.399
<v Speaker 2>wearing those, and that's why they'll wear white again on

117
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Friday Night.

118
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Craig Gay, quick question for you, A little trivia question

119
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>about burnt orange. Do you know who claims to have

120
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 1>kind of invented that color for the Longhorns.

121
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>I've heard a lot of different stories about this. I

122
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.959
<v Speaker 2>heard it had to do with color shortages during World

123
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.240
<v Speaker 2>War Two, I heard, I heard lots of different they

124
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>tell me educated.

125
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 4>Did you ever hear the name Rooster Andrews?

126
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.439
<v Speaker 3>Of course I remember the Great Rooster Andrews.

127
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he kind of told JB and I once that

128
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.879
<v Speaker 1>he was somewhat responsible for that classic burnt orange Texas color.

129
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 4>Whether it's true or not, and it was.

130
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.639
<v Speaker 6>It wasn't secondhand, He did say that directly to us.

131
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:22.160
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, at the time, that would make it, would

132
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.360
<v Speaker 2>it would fit the timeline because Rooster played in the

133
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 2>mid forties during World War Two. How else would a

134
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.920
<v Speaker 2>guy four feet eleven inches tall be even allowed to

135
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 2>be on party Rock kick an extra point against Texas

136
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.240
<v Speaker 2>A and m as did you?

137
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 3>You know?

138
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 2>But it might have started out if you go over

139
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.680
<v Speaker 2>to dk R Texas Memorial statem, you go inside Moncrief

140
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>there with the athletic displays of trophies and things like that.

141
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>There's a helmet there from the early fifties and it's

142
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 2>a brighter orange shoe and then it went more burnt

143
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 2>orange as the decade progressed, and I'm sure Rooster probably

144
00:06:58.959 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 2>had some input in that.

145
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 4>Craig Way is our guest JB.

146
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.959
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I got to know this because you have a

147
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 6>distinct voice. You know, it's very comforting over all these years,

148
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 6>I'll say that very distinct voice. And in this era

149
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 6>of AI cloning, has has anyone duped your voice?

150
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 3>Yet?

151
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.079
<v Speaker 6>It's happened to Joe Rogan. You know, you'll hear some

152
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 6>livery and you're like, wait, that's not me. Has this

153
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 6>happened to you? Because there's a very high monetary value

154
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 6>of your voice, and.

155
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 4>Especially especially in gaming.

156
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.199
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, how do you protect that has anything happened and

157
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker 6>not how could you protect that if needed?

158
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:38.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's a great question. Nobody.

159
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:43.439
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's done it yet. They probably haven't valued my voice enough,

160
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.279
<v Speaker 2>and that's fine. I have friends who do sports radio

161
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>in Dallas, guys I went to college with, and they

162
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.279
<v Speaker 2>do what they call the fake Craig Way, where they'll

163
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.040
<v Speaker 2>are mimic some play by play of a high school.

164
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>They call a game every week, the Craig wait Orial

165
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:01.759
<v Speaker 2>high School Game of the Week.

166
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.319
<v Speaker 3>And the first thing I told them was memorial, I'm

167
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 3>not dead, but.

168
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 2>They'll they'll take my voice and they'll do goofy things

169
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:12.199
<v Speaker 2>with it and things like that. So I've also had

170
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>people take what's called the uh. They took this, i

171
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 2>think from Jimmy Kimmel, the unnecessary editing of Craig Way,

172
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 2>and then would take like actual play by play calls

173
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>of mine and then bleep out certain words to make

174
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:31.920
<v Speaker 2>it sound like I was actually cussing on the air.

175
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh look at that, you.

176
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 2>Know, and it sounds like I'm actually cussing. There was

177
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.799
<v Speaker 2>a game against Baylor and Basketball a few years ago,

178
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>and there was a tense moment in the game where

179
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.240
<v Speaker 2>the two teams almost got into an altercation. They kind

180
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>of got nose to nose And what I actually said

181
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.320
<v Speaker 2>on the air was the better be careful, there's about

182
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 2>to be some serious stuff happen here. Well, I dragged

183
00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 2>the word S a little bit when I said serious stuff,

184
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 2>and it sounded like I said the fourth out of the

185
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 2>S worden when those guys got a hold of it.

186
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.960
<v Speaker 2>There's some serious you know. So people have had fun

187
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:13.279
<v Speaker 2>with it, JD. But I don't think anybody's aied it yet.

188
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Craig Way, our guests calling the game this weekend, Let's

189
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.039
<v Speaker 1>talk about the game. Ohio State a team that took

190
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a loss to Michigan earlier this season. That may be

191
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.879
<v Speaker 1>the best thing that ever happened to them, because they

192
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.679
<v Speaker 1>sure looked good against Oregon. And how do you see

193
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the Longhorns matching up with the Ohio State Buckets right now?

194
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>They're six and a half point underdog.

195
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, first time Texas this season has been an underdog

196
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 2>in any game. And this was a this is a

197
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:41.799
<v Speaker 2>this will be the most difficult test easily. Ohio State

198
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>most of the season looked really good. They've lost by

199
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 2>a point.

200
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Out at Oregon in Oregon at the time was unbeaten.

201
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:51.399
<v Speaker 2>Clearly they've avenged that with what they did to the

202
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Ducks in the Rose Bowl game last week. They had

203
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.480
<v Speaker 2>that one big stumble at Michigan, and I know folks

204
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.879
<v Speaker 2>are fond of comparisons in Texas. Of course, went to

205
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.240
<v Speaker 2>ann Arbor early in the season and really just dominated

206
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:06.039
<v Speaker 2>the game against Michigan. But a good friend of mine

207
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 2>is Paul Keels, to play by play voice of the Buckeyes.

208
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:11.039
<v Speaker 2>I had him on my show yesterday on A thirteen

209
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Under the Zone, and he was talking about how they've

210
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>played angry since that game. And you think about their

211
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.039
<v Speaker 2>two playoff games, the win over Tennessee, a good Tennessee team,

212
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.120
<v Speaker 2>and the win last week in the Rose Bowl over

213
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Oregon were games where they got out of the gate

214
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.960
<v Speaker 2>very quickly and dominated and just blasted both of those teams.

215
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's one thing the Longerd's gonna have to guard again.

216
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Don't dig themselves a deep early hole, because it's going

217
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 2>to be extremely difficult to rally against its Ohio State

218
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.720
<v Speaker 2>defense that way. I think, then stand toe to toe

219
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 2>with them. Offensive line will have to play really well.

220
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:44.080
<v Speaker 2>They're going to have to run the ball better than

221
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.120
<v Speaker 2>the fifty three total yards rushing they had against Arizona State.

222
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 2>I do think the passing game is set up to

223
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 2>have success against Ohio State when yours is feeling better physically,

224
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I think the wide receivers will be ready to go.

225
00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 2>And then on the defensive side, there are a Mecha

226
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Buku and Jeremiah Smith are two explosive receivers. The log

227
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Warts haven't really encountered two like that in the course

228
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 2>of a season. They're going to have to deal with that.

229
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.200
<v Speaker 2>And Ohio State has much like Texas does with Contrabuan

230
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Weisner and Jadan Blue. They have a two headed monster

231
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.320
<v Speaker 2>at running back and they're going to have to do

232
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>in Quinn Shawn Judkins and Trebion Henderson, so they're going

233
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.559
<v Speaker 2>to have to be buttoned up against the run as well.

234
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.039
<v Speaker 2>This is this is gonna be their biggest challenge with

235
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:28.840
<v Speaker 2>the season, no doubt.

236
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Well it should be because they're playing for a chance

237
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to win to play in the National Championship Game. So

238
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>hopefully Longhorns can pull it off this weekend. TB go ahead.

239
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.919
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I do have one more question because I've there's

240
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 6>no one to ask about this, because no one's an

241
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:44.639
<v Speaker 6>authority on this subject. You're the closest person I can

242
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 6>think of, Craig. So we're going to the Cotton Ball,

243
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.440
<v Speaker 6>you know, on Friday, in the Cotton Bowls in the

244
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.679
<v Speaker 6>AT and T Stadium, all right, And I always hated

245
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.600
<v Speaker 6>that every other year we take the game out of

246
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 6>Austin enough to Dallas? Why do we have so much

247
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 6>to Dallas? But the real question is is the Cotton

248
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 6>Bowl itself dead? Is it just the state fair that's

249
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:07.879
<v Speaker 6>keeping it alive?

250
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:09.639
<v Speaker 4>How do you talk about it?

251
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Your Cotton Bowl itself? The game's not having there?

252
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean is it is it.

253
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:15.840
<v Speaker 3>End of an era?

254
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:17.919
<v Speaker 6>Is it time to let that go? Or is it

255
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 6>so classic it needs to stay.

256
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 4>Well.

257
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I think there's two different, two different elements at work here.

258
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>First of all, with the Cotton Bowl stadium itself and

259
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.600
<v Speaker 2>why the Texas hou game has played on the fairgrounds

260
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.519
<v Speaker 2>of the state of Texas every year, and listening to

261
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 2>past athletic directors, the lost odds for Texas, the current

262
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 2>athletic director at Oklahoma jokistigleone and even crystal'conte CDC the

263
00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>ad at Texas Now it's it's always been about being

264
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.639
<v Speaker 2>a part of the festivities of the State Fair of Texas,

265
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:54.519
<v Speaker 2>and the two teams, Texas and OU are almost identically equidistant.

266
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:56.799
<v Speaker 2>I think one ninety six one hundred ninety six miles

267
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 2>and two hundred and one mile.

268
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:58.279
<v Speaker 3>Something like that.

269
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>So it's it all and there's tradition. They've played that

270
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:08.159
<v Speaker 2>game on those fair grounds continuously since nineteen twenty nine.

271
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.840
<v Speaker 2>There was even before the current Cotton Bowl Stadium itself

272
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:13.559
<v Speaker 2>was built. In the early thirties, they had an old

273
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.360
<v Speaker 2>fairground stadium, wooden stadium, burned to the ground, and then

274
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.559
<v Speaker 2>they built the new concrete stadium. And if you had

275
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>that tradition of it being exactly halfway split down the middle,

276
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.879
<v Speaker 2>no other college football game has that, where the north

277
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.080
<v Speaker 2>end of the stadium is all burnt orange and the

278
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.399
<v Speaker 2>south end of the stadium is white, and it ends

279
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:33.559
<v Speaker 2>right at the fifty yard line. I always said that

280
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:36.399
<v Speaker 2>if I wasn't broadcasting the game, I'd like to sit

281
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.360
<v Speaker 2>on the outside of that row right at the fifty

282
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>where Texas ends and OU begins, and vice versa, and

283
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>just listen to the conversations. So there's a lot of

284
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>tradition and history that goes to that. Also, City of Dallas,

285
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.639
<v Speaker 2>to their credit, put up about fifty million dollars in

286
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.240
<v Speaker 2>renovations back several years ago. Now they'redue for more and

287
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:59.039
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's been approved because the toilet's still

288
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:02.039
<v Speaker 2>overflow in the cop Ball Stadium. I'm that people have

289
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:05.240
<v Speaker 2>told me so there's there's things that need to go.

290
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 2>But that's the tradition of why that game is there.

291
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.039
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you this JV. If they ever decide

292
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:14.960
<v Speaker 2>that they're not going to play that game in the

293
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Cotton Bowl Stadium itself at the State Fair, Texas, it'll

294
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:20.480
<v Speaker 2>go home and home. They're not going to go to

295
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Jerry World. It's a different thing at at and T Stadium,

296
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Jerry World as we know it in Arlington. That's where

297
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:28.799
<v Speaker 2>the Big twelve Championship game is played every year. It's

298
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.879
<v Speaker 2>part of the college Football Playoff. The number one reason

299
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.679
<v Speaker 2>why that Cotton Bowl Stadium, Cotton Bowl Game, the Cotton

300
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Bowl Classic as they call the Cotton Bowl Game, moved there.

301
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:43.159
<v Speaker 2>Climate controlled environment. You know January games. Think about it

302
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.000
<v Speaker 2>this this Friday night. What the temperature is going to

303
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>be like in dow the Dallas for where there's going

304
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.919
<v Speaker 2>to bee in the low twenties with possibly snow so

305
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 2>that you know when Sark was playing for BYU, they

306
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.600
<v Speaker 2>played in the Cotton Bowl Game in ninety six against

307
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Kansas State and therember snow everywhere all over the ground.

308
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:00.879
<v Speaker 2>He said, we were used to it because it was

309
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:04.159
<v Speaker 2>at BYU, you know where they were in the Wasatch Mountains.

310
00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:06.399
<v Speaker 2>But uh, they in order to be part of the

311
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Cotton Bowl Game and someff it needed a newer, modern

312
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:12.480
<v Speaker 2>look and that's why they moved that to AT and

313
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.240
<v Speaker 2>T Stadium at Arlington. It's in the rotation and it's

314
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>hosted national championships. In fact, the last time Ohio State

315
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 2>won a national title, it was in the AT and

316
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>T Stadium.

317
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.000
<v Speaker 3>So that is there to stay.

318
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:27.639
<v Speaker 2>I think for the foreseeable future, the Texas OU Game

319
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.840
<v Speaker 2>is going to remain at the Cotton Bowl Stadium on

320
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.399
<v Speaker 2>the fairgrounds of the State Fair of Texas. If it

321
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 2>were to ever leave, I think they'd go home and home.

322
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:38.200
<v Speaker 2>But I think they're planning to keep that there as

323
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.799
<v Speaker 2>part of the history and tradition and in environment and

324
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:42.480
<v Speaker 2>atmosphere of the State Fair.

325
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:46.120
<v Speaker 6>As to say I had a feeling you you would

326
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:49.879
<v Speaker 6>sway my opinion on that, I mean a cold tempts

327
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:51.720
<v Speaker 6>would certainly favor Ohio State.

328
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.679
<v Speaker 4>You know, great point, great.

329
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Point, it'll be nice to be indoors.

330
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:59.799
<v Speaker 2>I remember saying that everybody was really really happy that

331
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the playoff game at home against Clemson. It was sixty

332
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.000
<v Speaker 2>five degrees, wonderful and the sun is shining at his

333
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:08.879
<v Speaker 2>great time. And then I remember thinking, as Texas finished

334
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.639
<v Speaker 2>off that game, they're indoors the rest of the way

335
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.840
<v Speaker 2>to Atlanta. And by the way, it was cold when

336
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:16.559
<v Speaker 2>they won the Peach Bowl that day. It was cold

337
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta and then here, and if they win again, it's

338
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>back to Atlanta one more time for the National Championship.

339
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 1>Catch Craig Way every afternoon on our sister station AM

340
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>thirteen hundred Zone. Of course, he's got the call of

341
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the game this weekend against Ohio State.
