• 0:03
  Speaker 1: includes the producer of this program, Cameron D.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: Parker.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: The deal on the birth certificate stands for Dallas. He
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: had to have to worry about his favorite football team,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Dallas playing last night on Monday Night Football. Not that
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: he seems to worry much about them at all these days.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: It's kind of sad he's given up caring for them
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: toward that end, Cameron D. Parker, Cameron Dallas Parker. I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: have an item that you're really going to appreciate and inconceivable,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: but because it involves none other and the man you well,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: if you don't admire hm, at least you follow him
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: so much. That would be Jerry Jones. Is it his
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: eating habits? No? No, not to eat it? Why But
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: did I miss something? Yeah? He was asked about one
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of the Cowboys or Panthers. I think he's the Panther receiver.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Former South Carolina guy Leguet was asked about eating raccoon,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and Jerry said, I eat raccoon, yes, Alex squirrel, yes,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: So I mean.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: That could go in. Well, he is the Maarkansas, that's true. True. No,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: this is.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Something else and I think he'll actually appreciate this and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: it really does belong an inconceivable, So that'll be coming up.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: But coming up in a few minutes, however, we'll talk
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: about more meaningful football. The Clemson Tigers, the opponent for
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the Texas Longhorns on Saturday afternoon at Daryl K. Royal
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Texas Memorial Stadium, and the head coach of the Tigers,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Dad Oksweeney, has talked a lot about the different nature
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of this game and all that. We're going to get
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the feel of that from the play by play voice
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: of the Tigers, Don Munson. He'll join us coming up
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in a few minutes to talk about this Clemson Texas matchup,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: first time ever for these two programs to meet on
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the football field in what should be from all indications,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: good weather on Saturday. I'm hearing mid sixties, like maybe
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: sixty five and sunny. It's pretty dog gone good for
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you know, going on late December. To have that so
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and so and four days before Christmas to have sunny
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: skies and about sixty five degrees for a football game,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure both teams will be happy about that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Cameron's pretty fired up, you know.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: He'll be with me tonight as we bring you Texas
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: women's basketball on one O three point one FM, Austin's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: SAD station. Kathy Arsenale joined me for the call, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Cameron our engineer and our studio host if you will,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: or on site broadcast host if you there's there's several
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of the programs radio networks across the country. North Carolina
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: is one of those where they have the play by
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: play guy Jones, Angel the analyst, and then they have
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: an engineer, and then they have what's called the broadcast host,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and the broadcast host updates the other games and that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: are going on and stuff like that and keeps everybody
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: up up to speed at halftime.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: So Cam, we'll be doing that tonight.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: But what I started to say is what he's also
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: going to be keeping up with is the Emirates NBA
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Cup because you're fired up about your Oklahoma City thunder
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: taking on the Milwaukee Bucks tonight.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the NBA Cup.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I know that's an accolade that I'm sure every every
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: casual NBA fan really cares about it.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Besides that, I'm excited for this game.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: A Bucks team that was pronounced dead by the week
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: into the season, they're back alive. Giannis is back alive.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: He likes Milwaukee guys. I hate to say it for
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Laker fans or Knicks fans or whoever is trying to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: talk to themselves into a Yiannis trade. Maybe even the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets as well. I don't think they really have
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: fans though. But it's fun for OKC. I mean, this
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: is my Western Conference pick. I have Celtics in OKC
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and the finals will be fun to see how they
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: match up against the Bucks in this game.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to it December basketball.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: And also I think this is a statement game for
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: OKC because on Christmas Day, and when I grew up
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: watching the NBA, Christmas Day.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: That's an NBA tradition was owned by the NBA.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Now the NFL is taken over and looking at the
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: games on Christmas Day that was usually would feature the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: best teams or the biggest stars. And I think OKAC
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: is considered a best team considering they were the one
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: seed this past season and currently lead the Western Conference.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: They also have shay Gilgess Alexander who was an MVP
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: candidate last season and could be up there as a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: front runner for this season. But inexplicably, Craig way on
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: December twenty fifth, a day that features some of the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: biggest and brightest stars and the best teams in the NBA,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the OKAC Thunder are not playing on Christmas Day. Instead,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you have the eight and sixteen Philadelphia seventy six ers,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: who probably will not have Joel Embiid while he recovers
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: from a sinus fracture and a bruised ego. And then
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: you have the fourteen and twelve Los Angeles Lakers, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you also have a thirteen and thirteen Spurs team.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I understand they have web in Yama.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: So if you're gonna have Wemby and the Spurs playing
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Christmas Day, why don't you have the best team in
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the Western Conference playing? So I think it's the OKAC
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: team that is young. They know about the league and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: how they don't do a great job of marketing the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: younger teams and the smaller markets. I think tonight is
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a statement game for OKAC, knowing they will not be
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: playing next Wednesday.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You know the answer to the question. Why are you
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: even posing the question unless you're doing it rhetorically. You
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: know as to why the Thunder would not be.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: On They used to when Kadie and Russ played on
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Christmas Day. They're always on the Thunder. Choose me they
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: would play on Christmas Day. So I just don't see it.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I don't understand they don't see Oklahoma City as drawing
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: television sets well.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: For a league that is losing ratings and you're trying
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to develop stars and players and teams and get people
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: interested in the league that is going to be without
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Lebron James and Steph Curry and Katie in three or
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: four years, you need to market the younger guys and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the younger teams who are going to be playing into
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: June for most of the next decade.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Okay See is part of that.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Heck, I would even argue, why is it Houston on
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Christmas Day? Why isn't okay See in Houston another game
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: on this Christmas Day? It blows my mind. The NBA
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: is failing Oklahoma City Thunder all right, But but go
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: with me on this and you know the answer.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Why.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: First of all, the Knicks always play on Sure, New
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: York market understand that well. And the Knicks always play
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: on Christmas Day like the Cowboys do on Thanksgiving. The
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Knicks play every year on Christmas. Now ABC is happy
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to have them because they're in New York and the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: New York market, so they're playing San Antonio, Minnesota, Dallas.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Dallas is marketable with Luca and they can do that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And even Minnesota it's somewhat market.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: But isn't that that's also a smaller market. Dallas isn't
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: so Minnesota is. Yeah, but it's at Dallas though. That's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the case why I can't, okay, see play at Dallas. Yeah,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that's I'll give you that.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia, Boston, it's East Coast, that's TV sets, as at
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Golden State, that's Lakers, Leronry and then Denver and Phoenix,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: while not big markets, have big marketable names, and Denver
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: is a recent champion. Those are the reasons I'm just
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: telling you. Those are the reasons. I don't agree with them,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: but those are the reasons NBA should realize. Yeah, they
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: should have set up Oklahoma City to play like maybe
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the Lakers or or Dallas or somebody else, to have
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a good Christmas Day game so that folks could see
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the thunder.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Even Memphis, Memphis team that is second in the Western Conference.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: John Morrat, Now maybe Adam Silver is afraid that John
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Mourrat was going to shoot up somebody on Christmas Day.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: But the league again is just it's completely failing. You
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: have yeah, let's see, from the Western Conference, you have
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: three of the four current playing teams playing on Christmas Day.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: You have a team not in the playoffs. Actually, you
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: have two teams not in the playoffs currently also play
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: on Christmas Day. So you have five teams out of
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: what ten teams on Christmas Day, we're either in the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: playing game or out of the playoffs all together, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: they're playing on you quote, your biggest day of the year,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: absolute travesty by Adam Silver, because they draw.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: The biggest ratings, plain and simple, and the rates are
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: the lowest of all time right now.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So they're trying to bullster them with this,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: but I agree with you.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: They should have.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: They should have had Oklahoma City in one of these
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: games playing set them up against the Lakers or against
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the Celtics or whoever. You know that that's where I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: think they should do it, if they're going to go
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: for that. All right, coming up, we talk college football
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: this Texas Clemson matchup. Don Nunson, the play by play
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: voice of the Clemson Tigers, joins us next here on
