  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, everybody.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the program on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred design.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I know that was a little cheehy on nine part.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Sorry about that.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: That's what happens when you fly home from doing a
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: basketball game that had a nine o'clock started in Las
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Vegas last night and we landed in the wee wee
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: hours of the morning. We, of course, we welcome to
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the program here on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: My name is Craig Wait, thank you much for joining us.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: We of course includes the producer, and that's Cameron D. Parker.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: The D on the birth certificate stands for Dallas, as
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: he was named for his favorite football team.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: That is woe be gone at the moment.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: But the D could stand for doubling down, as we
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: were in Las Vegas, but neither of us went to
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the tables, at least I didn't.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Did you go late Sunday night to the tables? Camp?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: If I tried to get chips, my bank account decline.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I understand, I understand, so too much a month left
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: at the end of the money, as the old saying goes.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: So the D could stand for delirious because we got
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: in in the wee wee hours of the morning and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: then each of us driving home to Williamson County. But
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: today is an importantday, obviously, election day, and hopefully you
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: were able to exercise your constitutional right and vote for
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the candidate and issues of your choosing and and it's
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a pretty important day. I think we're all aware of that,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and we'll see how it goes tonight. I was joking.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I was with regard to the earth shattering importance of
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the first reveal of the college football playoff right by
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff Committee. I was only joking because
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: this is the first one. Now you get me in
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the first week in December. Might be a different issue,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: depending on what the field of twelve looks like. We'll
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: talk about that. Since the announcement comes down at six
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: o'clock Texas time tonight, we'll do that. There are college
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: football notes to take. We'll hear some more of the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: conversation from Long Wrns head coach Steve Sarkisian from yesterday,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: so we'll do that. Additionally, we'll hear from Long Oarns
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: head coach Rodney Terry after the Texas basketball team opening
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: season last night in the Hall of Fame Series in
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas, Nevada an eighty to seventy two loss to
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Ohio State.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: The problem shooting the basketball in large measure.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Hard to win games when you shoot thirty seven percent,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and that was the biggest issue that in the fact
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: that Ohio State was just lights out on fire from
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: three point range, hit nine of their first twelve beyond
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the arc of seventeen in the first half. Now they
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: only hit four in the second half. But in the end,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: in the final analysis, when you look at those numbers,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: each team took twenty eight three point shots. The Buckeyes
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: hit half of theirs fourteen, The Longhorns had half of that,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: they had seven.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: It's a big part of it, wasn't all of it.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: And we'll hear from Rodney Terry talking about it as well,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: So we'll get to those issues.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And there is NFL to discuss as well, because now
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that the Monday night football game, and Cameron was really
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: adept at not only engineering our basketball broadcast from Las
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Vegas last night, but he had the Monday night football
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: game working on the computer as well, So who was
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: keeping track of Chiefs Bucks? Was that from a fantasy
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: football perspective.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Or you were just following, just following watching the Chiefs
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: to somehow just every week turnout another win. They might
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: be the most the least impressive eight to no team
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: of all time. I mean, they don't win these games
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: with I don't know the Chiefs have have covered this year.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I think they were a touchdown and they have one
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: by seven with overtime. I thought they were over seven
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: and a half point favorite in this game. A lot
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: of games they have not covered against the spread, but
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: they keep on winning. And it just seems like no
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: matter how many injuries, or if it's raining, if it's pouring,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: that the Chiefs grind out a win. I mean, at
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: one moment, Mahomes is being help off the field and
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: then he's back out there and leads to the game
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: winning drive in overtime.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know they they The Chiefs kind of remind
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: me of some defending Super Bowl champions of the past
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: who are good enough to get through some the difficulties
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: but don't necessarily look like world beaters on a weekend,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: week out basis.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Yet they keep winning.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And that includes teams like the Cowboys' second Super Bowl,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the ninety three team that started owing two when Mmon
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Smith was doing the holdout. It reminds me of a
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: couple of the Steelers teams of the late seventies that
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: went through that even as they were defending Super Bowl champion.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It reminds me even of the Green Bay Packers, their
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl two championship team coming off Super Bowl One,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: which had that team had been really impressive and then
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: they just kind of struggled and stumbled through some things,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and yet when the smoke cleared there they were So anyway,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of that, but they know how
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to get it done. They know what they're supposed to do.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: So we'll see how it is going forward on that.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: But as always, we open up the text line for
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: your questions. All you have to do is text the
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: word Texas followed by your question or comment to eight
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: one five three zero. So again, just text the word
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Texas followed by your question comment to eight one five
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: three zero. Standard messaging and data rates may apply, so
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: we'll you know, we can get to your questions. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: like I said, there's a lot to get through with
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: regard to the University of Texas football, men's basketball, and the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: first college football playoff rankings are coming down.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Do you have any any predictions for the first rankings?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: You know, it's kind of I'm I'm kind of interested
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: to see how the ten is rated out of this,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: because you could have four teams right now in the
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: playoff good four teams in the top ten, even with Oregon,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Ohio State, Penn State in Indiana.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: You could The question is will all four be in?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: That's got me curious as well as obviously you know
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the SEC the ACC where Notre Dame is where the
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: G five, the top G five program would be, and
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: right now that would be Boise State, who is ranked
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: and I think it's eleven in the polls, so they
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: would be in the in the college Football playoff ranking.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And I also want to make sure that that I
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: think folks know this, and I think they understand this,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: even in this first year of the twelve team playoff,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I think folks understand that the AP rankings are going
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: to be different.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: There's a good chance there's a good chance that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: The AP rankings are going to be a lot different,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: or at least somewhat different than the College Football playoff ranks.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: They might not be that different right now, but certainly
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: when it gets down toward the end, keeping in mind
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: that a G five school is going to go into
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the top twelve whether or not they are ranked there.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: You know, going into the final weekend, the conference champion,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: the highest ranked conference champion is going to get into
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the top twelve. They will have a slot, even if
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: it is at number twelve. And that's what most folks
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: seem to think. But I would say this, if Boise
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: State continues to play well and wins and wins out
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and that only loss is a narrow loss to Oregon,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to not only be in, they'll
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: be in on their own merit, and it could possibly
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: even open up the door for another champion.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: We'll have to see how teams do down the stretch
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: of this, but I am kind of curious to see
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: what these first rankings reveal. And there's a lot to discuss.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna we're gonna get to that. We'll discuss
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: those things, we'll get to your questions. We're gonna hear
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: from Sark, We're gonna hear from also Rodney Terry. So
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: we'll do all that and more here on election Day
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday, and I hope it's going well for you
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: here right here on sports Radio AM thirteen under the
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: zone of the iHeartRadio app.
