- 0:09Speaker 2: the long Horns Monday press conference. Like I said, I
- 0:13Speaker 2: don't know exactly how it would fall if I'm just
- 0:17Speaker 2: looking at a calendar here, if if and this is
- 0:23Speaker 2: the if, obviously, if the Longhorns were able to win
- 0:28Speaker 2: to advance to play in the Peach Bowl in the
- 0:31Speaker 2: quarterfinals against Arizona State, that is on New Year's Day,
- 0:36Speaker 2: and I'm just looking yet, they wouldn't do a press
- 0:41Speaker 2: conference here on the thirtieth, and I doubt they would
- 0:46Speaker 2: do one on the twenty third next Monday.
- 0:49Speaker 1: You would have to all be online on zoom.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Yeah, until I get in in Atlanta and they have
- 0:56Speaker 2: the you know, the press conferences with the coordinators and
- 0:58Speaker 2: all that other kind of stuff. So that we had
- 1:00Speaker 2: today may well have been the final, uh Monday press
- 1:04Speaker 2: conference of the season. With Sorry, it won't be his
- 1:06Speaker 2: final media availability obviously, he'll have his Thursday media zoom there.

- 1:58Speaker 2: much as sixty four sixty five, but there's right now
- 2:00Speaker 2: it's saying sixty two. I'm fine with sixty two on Saturday.

- 3:00Speaker 2: kid club Nick played well that day. He really did.
- 3:03Speaker 2: That evening Quinn Youwers played pretty well that evening too.
- 3:06Speaker 2: That game went to a lot of other things. The
- 3:10Speaker 2: defense got some big stops and there were some turnovers
- 3:13Speaker 2: and things like that.
- 3:14Speaker 1: There was also a cad Club Nick.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Think about this now, there was a caid Club Nick
- 3:19Speaker 2: to Michael Taff touchdown pass in that game. Mookie Taff

- 3:41Speaker 2: Congratulations to Michael Taff. Among the other long Orange games.
- 3:45Speaker 2: As we say, you get a chance to reach out
- 3:47Speaker 2: to the program if you want. We ever a text
- 3:48Speaker 2: line available. If you like the Texas, you can text
- 3:51Speaker 2: the word Texas follow by your questionner comment to eight
- 3:56Speaker 2: one five three zero. Again, the word is Texas followed
- 3:59Speaker 2: by your questioner comment to eight one five threes zero.
- 4:01Speaker 2: That's what you text standard messaging in data RHSP applot.
- 4:04Speaker 2: You can also reach us via the talkback feature on
- 4:08Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. If you don't have the iHeartRadio app,
- 4:11Speaker 2: download it on your phone.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Very easy to do.
- 4:13Speaker 2: You download that, then you go to where it's is
- 4:16Speaker 2: AM thirteen under the zone. You pull that up in
- 4:18Speaker 2: the search and then you'll see two buttons. One of
- 4:21Speaker 2: the little white triangular button. That's if you want to
- 4:23Speaker 2: listen to the on air content going on at the time.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Then there's another button, a little red one with a
- 4:28Speaker 2: white microphone. You tap that button and you can leave
- 4:32Speaker 2: us up to a thirty second message like this guy did.
- 4:40Speaker 4: Craig, There's been some confusion about Texas being a home
- 4:45Speaker 4: team versus a host team. It sounds like the NC
- 4:50Speaker 4: DOUBLEA is trying to make this like the basketball tournaments.
- 4:53Speaker 4: So will there be an NC DOUBLEA logo on top
- 4:57Speaker 4: of the fifty and will they allow for the smoke
- 5:03Speaker 4: and the stadium lights, the smoke.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Okay, that is a very reasonable question.
- 5:13Speaker 2: By the way, you could tell you got thirty seconds
- 5:14Speaker 2: leave the message, so we'll cut you off into thirty seconds.
- 5:17Speaker 1: But I understood the question.
- 5:22Speaker 2: I wouldn't get too caught up in the NCAA semantics
- 5:25Speaker 2: on this. First of all, it's college football playoff. Try
- 5:27Speaker 2: not to confuse the college FOOTBA playoff for the NCAAA.
- 5:31Speaker 2: You want to try to not tie that up. That's
- 5:34Speaker 2: one thing too. Everything that I have been told is
- 5:39Speaker 2: that this is going to be operated and executed like
- 5:42Speaker 2: a standard regular Texas long worn home football game.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Now, you make a very good point.
- 5:48Speaker 2: That maybe the NCAA does it like that, kind of
- 5:52Speaker 2: like what they do with the baseball regionals or women's
- 5:56Speaker 2: basketball hosting first and second round. You know, men's basketball,
- 5:59Speaker 2: they go to true neutral sites are pretty close to
- 6:01Speaker 2: neutral sites anyway, Like for example, one of the sites
- 6:05Speaker 2: this year, I think it's going to be Wichita that's
- 6:07Speaker 2: about one hundred and fifty miles or so from Lawrence, Kansas.
- 6:11Speaker 2: But Kansas may wind up playing there, but it's not
- 6:15Speaker 2: their home floor. I think the NCAA rule is it
- 6:17Speaker 2: can't be a floor where you are an arena where
- 6:19Speaker 2: you've played more than three times for it to if
- 6:25Speaker 2: you want it to be a neutral site. So anyway,
- 6:27Speaker 2: I think from everything I hear, it's going to be
- 6:30Speaker 2: treated and operated as a standard home football game. So
- 6:37Speaker 2: to the second part of your question about the smoke
- 6:39Speaker 2: and the players run out of the tunnel, I think
- 6:42Speaker 2: all that's going to happen.
- 6:43Speaker 1: I think everything else is going to be there.
- 6:45Speaker 2: There may be some NCA slash college Football Playoff.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Logo type.
- 6:53Speaker 2: I think the college Football Playoff logo will definitely be
- 6:56Speaker 2: on the field. If you watched the press conference with
- 6:59Speaker 2: start to day, either online on the LHN app or
- 7:03Speaker 2: Long Network dot com, or if you watch on KBVO
- 7:06Speaker 2: this morning, you would have seen Sark sitting in front
- 7:11Speaker 2: of a college Football Playoff backdrop, not the regular standard
- 7:16Speaker 2: Texas when it was that black banner that has that
- 7:19Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff, the National Championship Trophy that I
- 7:21Speaker 2: always think looks like a giant ash tray.
- 7:23Speaker 1: That one.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Okay, that that that was all on the bannering that
- 7:29Speaker 2: was behind Sark this morning. So yes, I do think
- 7:33Speaker 2: you'll see logo presence in different places or maybe on
- 7:37Speaker 2: the field. I believe I was told that, and this
- 7:43Speaker 2: might only be for if they advanced to the Peach Bowl.
- 7:45Speaker 2: I'm not sure because this this applied to the SEC Championship.
- 7:49Speaker 2: No sponsor decorated medical tents. It's got to be standard
- 7:58Speaker 2: like school color. You can't have like St. David's.
- 8:02Speaker 1: St. David's Medical Center, you can't have that.
- 8:05Speaker 2: I think that's going to be the case with that,
- 8:07Speaker 2: But otherwise it's going to be a pretty standard home
- 8:10Speaker 2: game type setup on Saturday afternoon.
- 8:13Speaker 1: I hope that answers the question for you there.
- 8:16Speaker 2: All right, let's see, somebody asked me, let's see, did
- 8:21Speaker 2: you talk about the Longview South Lake Carrol game. I did,
- 8:25Speaker 2: but I will repeat it because Southlake Carrol is going
- 8:27Speaker 2: to play Vandergrift for the state championship. After the Vipers
- 8:32Speaker 2: had their nice come from behind when they were down
- 8:34Speaker 2: ten points in the second quarter, ended up winning a
- 8:36Speaker 2: thriller over a favored Summer Creek team and they won
- 8:42Speaker 2: that contest thirty four to thirty one, they will play
- 8:44Speaker 2: South Lake Carrol. South Lake Carol defeated the long View.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Now the game was tied at seventeen. Southlake Carol lined
- 8:52Speaker 2: up to kick a game winning field goal. The field
- 8:54Speaker 2: goal was no good, however, the officials ruled running in
- 9:00Speaker 2: to the kicker against Longview. Now I'm gonna be honest
- 9:02Speaker 2: with you, I did not. I was a little busy
- 9:05Speaker 2: at the time. I was calling the Westlake North Shore
- 9:08Speaker 2: game for FanDuel Sports Network Southwest, so I was on
- 9:13Speaker 2: the air at the time, so I didn't get to
- 9:14Speaker 2: see it.
- 9:15Speaker 1: We just saw the graphic.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Now, I did see the replay because obviously I did
- 9:19Speaker 2: Scoreboard live late Saturday night. We did a live show
- 9:22Speaker 2: Laturday Saturday night, and we had the highlights of the
- 9:27Speaker 2: Longview South Lake Carol game and the end zone that
- 9:33Speaker 2: the shot of the field goal comes from the end
- 9:35Speaker 2: zone camera, so you don't even really see the contact.
- 9:39Speaker 2: You just see the ball miss and if you look
- 9:42Speaker 2: to your left and you see all the long View
- 9:44Speaker 2: fans jumping up and down and going crazy. But then
- 9:47Speaker 2: they tell us no, it's running into the kicker, and
- 9:51Speaker 2: then they line up exact same camera angle.
- 9:53Speaker 1: This time it goes through and Carol wins.
- 9:55Speaker 2: I have seen one one side angle coming from the
- 10:01Speaker 2: sideline and there were a lot of people upset, especially
- 10:04Speaker 2: from the longbea side.
- 10:06Speaker 1: That said the official was.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Deeked into throwing the flag, and that the kicker for
- 10:14Speaker 2: Carol did a really good job of making it look
- 10:19Speaker 2: like a defender ran into him. But I couldn't tell
- 10:24Speaker 2: from the side angle that I watched. I just saw
- 10:27Speaker 2: the guy flying past and I saw the kicker go down.
- 10:30Speaker 2: So in that respect, I'm not the best person to
- 10:33Speaker 2: ask about this because I didn't have a really good
- 10:35Speaker 2: put it this way, If those were the only angles
- 10:38Speaker 2: and you were using instant replay to determine whether there
- 10:41Speaker 2: had been contact, the call would have been upheld to.
- 10:45Speaker 2: The call would have stood that the kick that there
- 10:48Speaker 2: was roughing or running into the kicker. Because you couldn't
- 10:51Speaker 2: tell enough from the one angle that I saw doesn't
- 10:54Speaker 2: mean it didn't happen. And it may have and it
- 10:57Speaker 2: may not, and maybe it didn't happen. Maybe there was
- 10:59Speaker 2: a running into the kicker, maybe there was, but that
- 11:02Speaker 2: was the officials call, and he really couldn't see it
- 11:04Speaker 2: from the two camera angles I saw. But South Lake
- 11:07Speaker 2: Carol wins. They're in and they are playing Dandy Griff
- 11:11Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon at three o'clock in the sixth A Division
- 11:13Speaker 2: two State Championship. Westlake will play North Crowley at seven
- 11:17Speaker 2: o'clock for the six A Division One title. All right,
- 11:20Speaker 2: up next, we'll hear more from Long Worts head coach
- 11:22Speaker 2: Steve Sarkishan here on sports Radio AM thirteen under the
- 11:25Speaker 2: Zone in the IRT Radio app
