• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Roger Wallace joining us last hour on the program, you
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: heard from Longhorn basketball players Last Hour Julian Larry and
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: Jordan Pope. In case you missed what we brought you
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: on back in the first hour of the program, Loghorn
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: head coach Chief Sarcasian's weekly media Zoom. We brought that
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: to you and we're gonna re erit as we do
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: on Thursdays, because it's the final opportunity he has to
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: visit with a local area and in a couple of cases,
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: national media. So we'll have that for you coming up
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: next segment. Sark with his final examination of where the
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: football team is heading into this game with the Arkansas Razorbacks.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I made reference to this yesterday, and I probably should
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: make reference to it again today, if only because this
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: is a Texas Arkansas week. And pause for a swallow water.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: There we go, thank him. This rivalry has a great
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: deal of history, as we know, even though it was
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: pretty much suspended after the nineteen ninety one season, Arkansas's
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: last year in the Southwest Conference, and then they didn't
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: see each other again until they had the home and home.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Well first, they actually did meet each other in the
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Y two K Cotton Bowl January first, two thousand. Remember
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: that deal. How kind of weird it was a lot
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: of people worried that the the world's computers were going
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: to stop as it clicked the digit from one to two,
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: and that electricity might go off everywhere, and water might
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: stop running through our systems, and all kinds of weird things.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: None of that happened. Unfortunately for the Long Horns. Had
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: a rough game that day in that Cotton Bowl loss
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: to Arkansas, Major Apple White Tour a knee ligament that
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: it was difficult. It was a tough, tough ball game
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: in Texas lost that Y two K Cotton Bowl to
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: the Razorbacks. And that was the one where they had
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: players suspended, you know, the night before the game, that
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: sort of thing. So it was a tough go on that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: But they didn't see each other in the regular seas
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: until they had a back to back in O three
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: and O four, you know three, Arkansas came in here
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: and they had At Jones at quarterback and he was
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: mobile and he stayed away from Long Wrens and he
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: was able to beat them on some big passes downfield.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: In Arkansas won that game at dk R. They went
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: back to Arkansas and four and had a real nail
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: bier tooth and nail back and forth, and Log Warns
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: came up with a couple of a huge fumble curry thing.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Larry Dibbles recorded a fumble recovery and then and also
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: Philip Geeger had an interception late and Vin Jeong had
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: a really nice shovel pass kind of a little flick
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: out to Cedric Benson who took it for a touchdown.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Texas ended up winning that game twenty two to twenty
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: in Fayetteville and O four. Then they came back and
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: they played in O eight in Austin. Texas blew him
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: out beat him. I think it was fifty two to fourteen,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: and they were supposed to come the next year and
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: asked to push it back because they were starting a
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: brand new non conference series with Texas A and M,
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: who at the time was still in the Big twelve,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: and they were starting this thing at Jerry World, and
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: so Texas agreed to move it back. And first they
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: were talking about I think twenty twelve, then it got
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: pushed to twenty fourteen, then I think twenty eighteen, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: they finally said twenty twenty one. So the game three
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: years ago that Texas played in Fayetteville was originally scheduled
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: when Mac Brown was the coach. It was to have
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: been played in twentyd and nine, twelve years and three
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: football coaches, three had football coaches. Later, they finally played
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: that game because Charlie Strong had been the head coach
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: and then Tom Herman and then Steve Sarkeisha. Now when
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Charlie was the coach, Texas did play Arkansas one more time.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Improbably the most forgettable bowl game the Texas ever played.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: And I'll give you two, but this was one of them.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: In twenty fifteen, Texas played Arkansas in the Texas Bowl.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Lost thirty one seven and I think the long Horns
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: had fifty nine yards a total offense in that game.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: It was a bad night, tough game. It was. Yeah,
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: it was not good and they lost that contest. So
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: there was that, and I guess I was twenty fourteen.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: But anyway, that was in that Texas Bowl game they did.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: There was, believe it or not, I think a ball
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: game that might have been worse that Texas played in. Now,
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: at the time this happened, this Bowl game was played,
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: I was not part of the broadcast team. In fact,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: I was still in college. This was in nineteen eighty
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: four and that was the year when Texas was number
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: two in the country in oklahom was number one and
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: they had the game in Dallas, and we talked about
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: that as being forty years ago, that that fifteen to
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: fifteen tie and the rain we had Todd Dodge on
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: with us, who was the quarterback for Texas at that time,
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: and it wound up being a fifteen to fifteen tie.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Logorns also had some disappointing losses down the stretch and
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: ended up at seven three and one, and so they
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: didn't win the Southwest Conference championship and most of the
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: other bowl slots were taken, and then it was revealed
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: there was a brand new bowl game coming out to
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: be played, I believe on Christmas Day or thereabouts or
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: the day after whatever, the Freedom Bowl in Anaheim to
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: We played at Anaheim Stadium, the converted baseball stadium where
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: the Rams were by then playing home games, And so
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Fred Akers had the team take a vote, and the
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: team voted not to go to a bowl game at first,
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: and then Coachakers came back said, I don't think you
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: guys understand he has bowl game, brand new bowl game
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: he can helped launch. Its Anaheim, It's Disneyland, it's all
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: this great stuff. They took a second vote again, the
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: players voted not to play in the game, and so
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: fred Acres came back in and said, look, you know,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I think you really need to consider this deal is
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: and whether or not they took a third vote, or
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: whether coach Akers just said we're going, they went. They
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: went to the Freedom Bowl. The team was not interested
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: in playing in it, and it showed. They played an
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: Iowa team that had chucked long at quarterback, and he
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: carved them up and beat them fifty five to seventeen
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: in the rain. By the way, it was a nasty
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: night in Anaheim. And when the game was over, the
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: late Ron Franklin, who of course really became well known
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: with all the years he worked at ESPN. At the time,
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: he was the Long Wornes play by play voice. He
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: did it for a few years before moving to ESPN
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: in the eighties, and he was working with a gentleman
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: by the name of Glenn Brown, and they had to
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: fill another segment or two, as postgame shows go sometime,
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: and he turned to Glenn Brown and he said, Glenn,
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: you know the Longhorns, and they've already been through like
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: practically an hour of postgame and it had just just
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: been this Tan death March.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It was just brutal.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: And he said, Glenn, let me get your thoughts one
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: more time on this long worn team and what happened
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: here tonight where they have to go, and Glenn Brown,
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: he's color analyst, who was like taking a drag on
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: a cigarette in the booth, blows out a puff of
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: smoke and turns and says, you know, Ron, I think
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: I've said all I want to say about this game tonight,
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: put the cigarette back in his mouth and took his
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: head set off. Now that's teamwork, right. So that might
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: have been a worse, worse Bowl game even than the
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: one in twenty fifteen. But anyway, those are probably the
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: two worst long worn ball games if it's other games
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: where they didn't play well and got beat, but those
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: two certainly come to mind. Also. Then, so they finished
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: it up in twenty twenty one, that home and home,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: and by then it was known that the long Runs
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: were going to be going into the Southeastern Conference, and then,
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: of course Arkansas took Texas to the woodshed that night.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: They won forty to twenty one. And somebody asked Sam Pittman,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: the Arkansas coach, in his weekly news conference this week,
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: if he thought that Texas was given a blueprint for
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: what they needed to do to build a competitive program
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: in the SEC. And Pittman's response, and I agree with
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: what it was more along the lines of perhaps so,
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: but I think he already had in mind how he
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: knew he was going to have to build this team
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: with big guys in the line and all that sort
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: of stuff. So as much as folks would like to
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: ascribe it to, oh, this is how the se Se
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: plays and you better set that as your mark, Sark
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: had his own ideas about what he had to do
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: to build this program into a contender, which of course
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: he now has. Speaking of which we'll hear from Coach
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Sark's news Zoom the Media Zoo coming up, and we'll
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: have that next here on Sports Radio AM thirteen under
