  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the program here on a
• 0:02
  Friday on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone. My
• 0:05
  name is Craigway, so glad to have you with us,
• 0:07
  and hopefully, as I always say, Friday for you means Friday.
• 0:12
  What it does for a lot of folks that you
• 0:15
  are on the advent of the weekend and maybe a
• 0:17
  time to catch your breath or go out to a
• 0:20
  rather large college football game tomorrow, or a big high
• 0:24
  school football game than ida really big car race here
• 0:28
  in the Austin area on Sunday. If Friday does not
• 0:32
  mean that for you, maybe only your Wednesday, so to speak,
• 0:36
  middle of the week or even starting a week, hopefully
• 0:40
  it'll go well for you as well. Glad to have
• 0:42
  you with us. Again, I'm Craig Way, and the US
• 0:47
  refers to the producer Camera d Parker. The deal on
• 0:50
  the birth certificate stands for Dallas, as in the city
• 0:54
  that houses his favorite pro football team that he is
• 0:58
  literally disgusted with refuses to watch right now, and that
• 1:03
  of his father as well, who named him that Dallas
• 1:07
  with the middle name.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: So this does it ever bother.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You that your middle name is Dallas name, But because
• 1:15
  of who you were named after.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: And remember when you were born.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Jerry Jones was already eight years into the ownership of
• 1:22
  the Dallas Cowboys.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Now he had three Super Bowl.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Rings, which he still has, just the three, the three
• 1:28
  Vince Lombardi trophies, and it was two years after his
• 1:31
  last one that you were born. But does it ever
• 1:34
  bother you that you were named for the team that
• 1:36
  Jerry Jones owns.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: I like it a lot.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: I think it's actually kind of unique in some sort
• 1:42
  of way. I don't know a lot of people named Dallas.
• 1:45
  I mean, Dallas Goddard, Dallas Clark, something to do with
• 1:49
  tight end. Should have been a tight End and I
• 1:51
  kind of have the frame for it. But you know,
• 1:54
  it's funny. I have a couple ex's and all their
• 1:56
  middle names seem to be Rose. So at least it's
• 1:59
  something different, right, Oh, Dallas is a little bit different,
• 2:02
  and people find it amusing.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: It's it's a good icebreaker.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: It's a good story at parties with different people because
• 2:07
  everyone always wants to, like, guess your middle name. I'm like, Okay,
• 2:11
  starts with the D, but you won't get it in.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: D David.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, it's not that white. It's a white
• 2:20
  middle name, Dallas, but it's not that white.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Come on, people, did I hear you say you have
• 2:25
  a couple of exes whose name is Rose.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: The middle name is Rose. It's weird.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: I had like three in a row where their middle
• 2:31
  name all seemed to be Rose, and I was like,
• 2:34
  what's going on here?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: They all were white and blondes and all from North Carolina.
• 2:39
  So maybe it's like a thing in North Carolina where
• 2:41
  it's like, hey, your mill name has to be Rose.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: That was my mom's first name in.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, I was gonna say it's a red flag,
• 2:47
  but you know, first name is probably better than middle name.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: My mom was the daughter of two Italian immigrants. Her
• 2:54
  actual name on her versity is Rosa.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: But okay, yeah, I think there is is Rose and
• 3:00
  none of them are Italians.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, Uh, that's interesting that that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Did you bring that up? Yeah?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: All of those Dallas's you know, the long time for
• 3:09
  decades play by play voice of the Brownwood Lions, one
• 3:11
  of the one of the most successful programs in high
• 3:15
  school football history, with seven state titles and all that.
• 3:18
  His name is Dallas Houston. Dallas Houston now that I
• 3:23
  think was an air name. I think Dallas Houston. Okay, yeah,
• 3:27
  but yeah, the long time immortal play by play voice
• 3:31
  of the.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Brown good name.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you're not gonna You're not gonna forget that.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It kind of it kind of has a ring to it. Dead.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Uh this, Maybe should I go by Dallas Parker then
• 3:39
  would that be better? Or Dallas Cameron camera Cameron. Dallas
• 3:42
  was a famous YouTuber.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, I kind of like I
• 3:46
  kind of like Dallas Parker kind of like it. But
• 3:48
  your mom didn't want that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: No, No, I don't. I don't think she would like that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: She would not be h.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: She has never called me by my name Dallas, and
• 3:56
  I think my dad's probably forgotten my own name is
• 3:57
  Dallas at this point.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Even though he the one you were pushed for it.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, I I should tell you, uh that, Uh there
• 4:07
  there's a ring to this weekend here in Austin, obviously,
• 4:10
  Texas and Georgia. Final preparations are underway the ESPN UH
• 4:14
  Sports centers down here and uh uh both on campus
• 4:20
  at UT and then at the F one track at
• 4:21
  Coda over the weekend. Uh ESPN College game Day is
• 4:26
  already down here. When I saw a photo tweeted out
• 4:29
  of Sark with Desmond Howard.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Pat McAfee did his show from the old l HN broadcast.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's there's uh, they're in town, they're they're
• 4:38
  all here for this, and obviously here's a great deal
• 4:40
  of excitement about it as well. And and I readily
• 4:45
  admit people who know me know that I don't. I'm
• 4:50
  not really much into the whole wagering side of things.
• 4:54
  I never really paid that much attention to it, mainly
• 4:58
  because I don't wager on games, but I just really
• 5:01
  hadn't paid that much attention to it. I also know
• 5:03
  what the strategy is involved for those who set the
• 5:07
  odds is that they're they're wanting action on both sides.
• 5:09
  They might not necessarily believe one team is X number
• 5:13
  of points better than another, but that might be the deal.
• 5:17
  Well anyway, Georgia, I've learned this Today owns the longest
• 5:23
  active streak as the betting favorite in each game, forty
• 5:28
  nine consecutive weeks. It's going to end tomorrow unless there's
• 5:33
  an incredible amount of action put on them. Texas Today
• 5:40
  said forty nine forty nine consecutive the Good Seams forty
• 5:45
  nine games. Forty nine consecutive games they have been the
• 5:50
  betting line favorite, and that will end at forty nine
• 5:53
  tomorrow because the Loghorns a consensus five point favorite in
• 6:00
  the game tomorrow.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: The line opened.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: At three and a half for Texas, and then a
• 6:07
  whole lot of bets on the Longhorns hit multiple sports
• 6:10
  books on Wednesday, and that nudged the spread up as
• 6:14
  high as five and a half and it settled in
• 6:16
  at five.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Came in a twenty minute interval. They said, so Whyer
• 6:21
  of Mattress Mac was involved.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: In that, involved in that? Maybe, I don't know.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: At BETMGM, more bets have been placed and more money
• 6:30
  wagered on Texas minus the points than any other team
• 6:35
  on the board. Fanatics sports book reported yesterday the Long
• 6:38
  Runs had attracted six times as much money from betters
• 6:41
  as any other team on the Saturday college football slate.
• 6:45
  The money wagered on Texas this week at Fanatics already
• 6:48
  more than the total amount wagered on the Ohio State
• 6:51
  Oregon game last week. Approximately ninety percent of the money
• 6:55
  bet on the Georgia Texas spread was on the long
• 6:58
  Horns at Fanatics so it was a little more balanced.
• 7:02
  To ESPN, bet Texas got fifty two percent of the
• 7:05
  bets and the money wagered on the point spread. Georgia
• 7:08
  has not been a betting underdog in a game since
• 7:11
  the twenty twenty one season opener against Clemson. Alabama owns,
• 7:17
  in case you're interested, the longest all time streak of
• 7:20
  being favored, the Crimson Tide favored in ninety two consecutive games,
• 7:24
  a streak that began at twenty fifteen and ended with
• 7:26
  the twenty twenty one SEC Championship game against Georgia. So
• 7:30
  for those of you are into the wagering side of that,
• 7:35
  there you go, there's some there's some interest for you
• 7:38
  on that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, Craig, This Texas team likes to
• 7:41
  end streaks. I think about last year against Alabama. Right, Alabama,
• 7:45
  I don't think had lost a non conference game at
• 7:47
  Bryant Denny since New Mexico State and Sabans first year.
• 7:51
  Texas snapped that, and then Michigan the longest active win
• 7:54
  streak and longest active home win streak until Texas snapped that,
• 7:59
  and we too, So we'll see.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was a fifty three game home
• 8:03
  winning streak for Alabama. Then then Michigan had streak. So yeah,
• 8:06
  Long Words have done that. We'll see how this streak
• 8:08
  is effective.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: All right. Coming up on the program this.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Afternoon, we're going to obviously more on the Texas Georgia matchup.
• 8:16
  We'll hear from coach Sark from last night's edition of
• 8:18
  Long Worn Weekly where Sark was talking in specifics in
• 8:24
  our matchup segment about the Bulldogs. Will bring that to you.
• 8:27
  We do have inconceivable, Cameron. We know what inconceivable on
• 8:31
  the Friday means.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: We go down to the more flaccid, the lower forty
• 8:35
  eight states and search for that Florida man and Florida woman.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty low hanging fruit this week coming
• 8:41
  off of Hurricane Milton.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: A couple of items about that. So we'll have that.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And coming up next we're gonna hear we'll have some
• 8:48
  more on college football. I'll look back at the NFL. Yeah,
• 8:53
  the National League and American League Championship Series continued today.
• 8:58
  The Dodgers are going for the clincher this afternoon. They
• 9:01
  start about two hours from now, and they'll be playing
• 9:04
  the New York Mets in Game five. The Yankees and
• 9:07
  Guardians playing in the night. What a historic name that
• 9:10
  was last night, Just a real thumper with the Guardians
• 9:14
  getting the walk off homer in the bottom of the tenth.
• 9:16
  We'll talk about that, and we're going to hear from
• 9:18
  Vic Schaffer, Texas women's basketball head coach on the eve of.
