• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Friday afternoon on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone,
• 0:03
  Craig Way, alongside the producer Cameron Parker, we're with you
• 0:06
  up until five o'clock this afternoon and getting you ready
• 0:08
  for a very big weekend the Texas Logorne and Georgia
• 0:12
  Bulldogs tomorrow night at Royal Texas Memorial Stadium, and then
• 0:16
  of course there's the F one Race, So you know,
• 0:22
  it's a big weekend. I take it you're pretty fired
• 0:25
  up about all this.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Excited for tomorrow's game for sure. I mean it's been
• 0:30
  a game Craig that when the special came out, everyone
• 0:34
  circled and a lot of people expected, including myself, Georgia
• 0:39
  to be the number one team and it's Texas, and
• 0:41
  Georgia is still a top five team. Of course, after
• 0:43
  they're almost come from behind victory against Alabama and then
• 0:48
  losing at the very end Ryan Williams and seeing touchdown
• 0:51
  and Carson Beck throwing the interception at the very end
• 0:54
  of the game. But it's going to be a fantastic game.
• 0:57
  It may end up being probably the loudest d KR
• 1:00
  has been since Alabama twenty twenty two. That was the
• 1:03
  lot of the scheme that I was at in attendance
• 1:06
  for was Alabama twenty twenty two. I had heard nothing
• 1:09
  like that before, and then I'm excited for F one.
• 1:12
  It went last year, good to go again on Sunday.
• 1:15
  So it's gonna be a fun weekend. Gonna be a
• 1:18
  busy weekend, but it's gonna be absolutely great. Weather in
• 1:22
  the mid eighties, sun will be out. It's a fantastic
• 1:25
  time of the year to be in Austin.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: No doubt about it. All Right, I'm trying to remember,
• 1:31
  were you in school the last time Texas played Georgia
• 1:35
  when they played in the I was.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I was a junior at Texas. I actually watched the
• 1:41
  game at Hickory Tavern in North Carolina with my friends,
• 1:47
  who thought I was absolutely crazy because I was celebrating
• 1:51
  a Sugar Bowl victory, like we had just won the
• 1:52
  national championship. And like Sam Ellinger, I thought Texas back
• 1:59
  not the case, but it was, you know, because Texas
• 2:02
  hadn't had a facery like that since I don't know,
• 2:08
  I Nebraska and the Big Twelve championship, but I don't know.
• 2:12
  I don't know quite some time.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been been a little while. I didn't realize
• 2:16
  Hickory Tavern was a chain. I've been to the one
• 2:18
  in North Myrtle.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Beach really okay, yeah.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good and a good place to watch the game.
• 2:23
  But I didn't I didn't realize that that was a chain.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I didn't.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize it either. I just thought that was
• 2:27
  a one off location.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Yellow the panel outside of the red block lettering, it's
• 2:32
  red block letters.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, all right, wow, I didn't realize that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, I had to begged and the chains the channel
• 2:38
  for the Texas game, which was a little bit weird.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: What else are they gonna have it all on New
• 2:42
  Year's Night? What else are they gonna have the on
• 2:47
  you know, old UFC reruns?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, what do you think it was that? I
• 2:51
  think maybe the Hornets were playing New Year's Night something
• 2:54
  like that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, good that they changed it. Then. Well.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: The reason why I brought that up up is this,
• 3:03
  of course, is the first matchup between Texas and Georgia
• 3:07
  since that Sugar Bowl, which the Long Orange won twenty
• 3:09
  eight twenty one. But the score really was not indicative.
• 3:11
  The Long Wruns dominated a lot of game. They were
• 3:13
  up twenty eight to seven out the fourth quarter. But
• 3:19
  the things that we remember most about that game two
• 3:22
  things I either think you tell me if I'm wrong.
• 3:23
  One is that the Long Wars, like I said, had
• 3:25
  some dominance. Sam Alllinger played really well. And the other
• 3:29
  thing was Bevo versus Ug, because people remember, somebody thought
• 3:34
  it was a smart idea to take Uga around Bevo.
• 3:37
  Anybody knows anything about animals knows that cattle and dogs
• 3:42
  do not like one another, especially cattle not liking dogs,
• 3:46
  and they have a s a definite size advantage. So
• 3:49
  if you've never seen it, you probably didn't live here
• 3:52
  in Austin at the time. If you've never seen you
• 3:54
  can google it Bevo versus Uga.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Or just go on Twitter or ESPN or the fleta
• 4:00
  and you'll see like seven different stories about it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: There was an oral history of it on ESPN yesterday.
• 4:06
  I didn't read it, really, I I know that I
• 4:09
  know people. I knew the photographers and media members who
• 4:12
  are right there, and some ended up getting hit Bipevin.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and wanted to sue over stuff like that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: One of them, that's Sue, and one of them is
• 4:19
  no longer in the state.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, Okay, So the reason why I even bring
• 4:23
  this up, there will be no rematch. There'll be no sequel.
• 4:30
  Ugga eleven is not making the trip. His owner, Charles Siler,
• 4:37
  told the Austin American Statesman that travel logistics made the
• 4:41
  trip difficulty, said two and a half year old English bulldog.
• 4:44
  He also skipped Georgia's road game at Kentucky earlier this season.
• 4:49
  His quote was, that's a lot of wear and tear
• 4:51
  on the dog those games way out in the middle
• 4:54
  of the country. Because we're way out in the middle
• 4:56
  of the country, you understand, are hard for us to
• 4:58
  get to this dog that we have. Well, he's not new,
• 5:01
  but he's only two and a half and we haven't
• 5:03
  flown him yet and he hasn't been on a team
• 5:06
  bus yet. The dog usually misses a few games a year,
• 5:11
  and the seventeen hour drive did us in on this one.
• 5:14
  He said, we'll be watching on TV. It's sure to
• 5:17
  be a good game. The previous Ugga was the one
• 5:20
  Uga ten that had the run in with Bevo where
• 5:24
  he knocked over the police barricade and appeared to charge
• 5:26
  at him.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Neither mascot was hurting the situation.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: The two did take a photo together later that day,
• 5:31
  ug A ten was known as Q. He passed away
• 5:35
  in January. I do find it interesting also that the
• 5:38
  owner did not provide this UGA's real name.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Isn't it Boom?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Is it? See? I don't know. I didn't realize that
• 5:46
  boom Okay chip.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Towers were an article for the Atlanta Journal Constitution in
• 5:52
  talk with Charles Charles Siler, the owner, and the quote
• 5:56
  from Siler hilarious that Ugga or Nonah Boom is really
• 6:01
  young and immature. And this is a direct quote, crazy
• 6:04
  as hell end quote.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, and he the bulldog.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Eric talking about an English bulldog named Boom Boom on
• 6:15
  the No Fly list.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Well, and the interesting thing is is that.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: In this story that I have, the one from the Statesman,
• 6:22
  he never refers to the dog by name. It's always
• 6:25
  the dog. That's a lot of wear and tear on
• 6:28
  the dog, This dog that we have, while he's not new,
• 6:31
  blah blah blah, the dog usually misses a few games
• 6:33
  a year. I thought that was kind of odd that
• 6:38
  it would be.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: That, So now correct me if I'm wrong, Craig, I
• 6:44
  don't really recall the opponent mascot really ever. Coming to
• 6:49
  dk R because I was thinking about it, and at
• 6:52
  first I thought, well, maybe it's just not allowed at Texas.
• 6:55
  But then, of course with this story, it definitely is
• 6:57
  a loud just opposing teams never have really chosen to
• 7:00
  bring ony. I can't remember ever seeing the live mascot
• 7:05
  ever at a Texas home game from the opposing.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Now let's let's do a little review here. First of all,
• 7:10
  when Mississippi State was here, I don't even do they
• 7:12
  have a bulldoye?
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: They do?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, we do, right, Yeah, Well I didn't see him
• 7:17
  here and their band wasn't here, so okay, so there
• 7:21
  was that. I can promise you it's called Dax.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: By the way, u.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Elman Road does not have a Warhawk, Pretty sure of that,
• 7:32
  Pretty sure. Utsa does not have a live road runner.
• 7:36
  And Colorado State, if they have a ram, they did
• 7:38
  not bring him to this. Okay, that's this year. So
• 7:41
  if you go back to Big twelve things you think
• 7:42
  about the teams. Kansas State did not bring a wildcat
• 7:45
  with them. They don't have one even up there on
• 7:48
  home games. I haven't seen one. Baylor no longer has
• 7:53
  that live bear mascot. You know they had that back
• 7:57
  in the day. When people thought it was okay to
• 8:00
  keep the bear in the cage up there and feeded
• 8:02
  Oreos and coke. Dr Pepper's excuse me, Waco, Dr Pepper,
• 8:06
  the Oreos and doctor Pepper, and it's dental work was
• 8:09
  so bad because I knew people that actually paid to
• 8:13
  have the bear's teeth redone for a veterinary dentist. So
• 8:20
  when they played Houston, I don't think they have Shasta
• 8:23
  any more there on the sidelines. I didn't see it
• 8:26
  the game when they played over there. And and in
• 8:28
  other words, to your point, they never brought him here,
• 8:32
  him bring the live mascots here. That was just one
• 8:35
  of those side pieces, was like, hey, let's do this.
• 8:37
  Is there going to be a rematch BiVO and Uggah.
• 8:40
  First of all, to say there's a rematch would be
• 8:44
  to imply that there was a match in the beginning.
• 8:46
  There wasn't a match. It was a chance encounter by
• 8:51
  August handlers having brought the dog too close to Beava
• 8:56
  where he charged at it. You know, there wasn't. It
• 8:59
  wasn't like the dog wanted the match or rematch or
• 9:03
  anything like that.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: So weird. I don't think it's kind of strange.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: About it, but no no ugo uga bevo rematch. All right,
• 9:13
  up next, we'll have some other college football news and
• 9:16
  we'll talk some Texas basketball. We'll hear from Rodney Terry,
• 9:19
  long worn men's coach as well. We'll continue on sports
