  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the program here on sports
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Radio AM thirteen hundred The Zone on a Friday afternoon.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: My name is Craig Way. Glad to have you with us.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Alongside us, of course, includes the producer of the program,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Cameron D. Parker. The D on the birth certificate in
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the middle name stands for Dallas, as in his favorite
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: pro football team for which he was bestowed the middle name,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: but has refused to watch them because he gets really
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: upset when they don't do well, which means he's gotten
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: really upset a lot this season, so he hasn't been
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: watching them that much. I would have taken almost any
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: bet that said that Dallas would have a better record
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: than the team I root for, the Los Angeles Rams
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: this season. I would have taken almost any bet at
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the start of the year. Alas that does not appear
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to be the case. The Cowboys would have to win
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: out and the Rams would have to lose out now
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: for them to have have the exact same record. I
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: guess uh no that Cowboys could actually finish nine and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: eight if they if they want out the Rams Ram six.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: That was after the game last night, But you have
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: not been that confident in your team from day one,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and I think we're seeing evidence of it now.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: One. I have had faith in the Rams all year long.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: To what just chestnut? What chestnut praline latte? That's that's
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: one of the holiday the chestnut praline latte. Uh yeah,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: from Starbucks.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It's it's It's a latte infused with the flavors of chestnut,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: kind of a smoky fate flavor to it, and then
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the praleen adds the sweetness to it. There. So yeahs
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: is good. Yeah, it's my standard during the holiday. Hope.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I go chestnut praline latte during the holiday. I really
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: do like it, so I I go with that. I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: used to like the eggnog latte, but they stopped doing those.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I guess they were unpopular enough. Ignos one of those
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: things you either like it or you don't. From what
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I understand now, I know some people who only like
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: it if you put some bourbon in it, or maybe
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: some Scotch in it. I like egg nog as is,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but people know my taste are difference. I like, I'm
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a guy who likes both coke and PEPSI I like
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: them both because they're different flavors to me, and there's
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of people hate PEPSI like only coke or
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I'm a pepsy or whatever. I like them both because
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: they offer different flavors. I've had a thing the gingerbread
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: latte before. It's okay, sorry, but I like I like
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the chestnut preline latte because it's not quite as sweet
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: because of the chestnut infused in it, but it's still
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: got some sweetness in it on it. Meanwhile, I bring
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you your your standard. I mean, you know your your regular.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: What is it just to your your You want the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: cold brew coffee, just straight up the cold brew with
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: what some classic Classico livery sound like the classics serve
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: because I think it's too sweet. I like vanilla syrup
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: when I get an ice coffee and just a vanilla,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: but I have them remove the classic sereveral. We're hopeless Starbuckians.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I guess you might say Starbucksters. However you want to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: say that, I don't know. But we've got other things
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to get to on the program. First of all, as
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: we speak right now, the Texas volleyball team is fighting
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: for its NCAA tournament life. They're down twenty to seventeen
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to Crayton in the fourth set, Creighton the number two seed,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Texas the number three seed. They're in that State College
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Regional, and right now Crayton, the higher seeded team,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: is looking the part of the higher seeded team. They
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: look really good. They've won twenty four straight matches coming
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in and they're up twenty to seventeen in that fourth set.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: So if they go on and pick up five more
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: points and win that set, matches over in the long
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: one season would be over. If Texas does rally, they
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: would force a fifth, decisive fifth set, and the winner
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that would take on the winner of the match that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: follows between the number one seed, the host in that region,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: penn State, and the number five seed Marquette. So that's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: where it is right now. So we'll keep you updated
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: on that because Texas trying to stay alive in the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: NCAA Volleyball Regional going on in the sweet sixteen the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: regional semifinal Long Horns at twenty and six going in
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Creighton thirty one and two, and so it's twenty to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: seventeen Creighton. So we'll keep you posted on all of that.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: But we've got other things. Obviously, there's football to discuss
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: from the Longhorn perspective and other college football perspective as well.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: There is pro football as well as the college football.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: There's the NBA, there's college basketball last night Longhorns with
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the win last night, and we'll recap those things as
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: well well. So we'll do all of those things come up.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: We do have inconceivable and when you what do inconceivable
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and flesh eating bacteria have in common? I guess yeah, Florida. Yeah, yeah,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Florida Man, Florida Man. Yep, so we've got that gross.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: It is Florida man. What kind of hell you have?
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You watched a Florida Man TV show on HBO? I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: think I saw it one time? Pretty good? Yeah, I
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: mean it's kind of play.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, is there is there at least a character
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: who has crocs in his baptub?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Do we hit that? At least? I didn't see that
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: in the episode that I watched. I did. I did
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: not see that, So yeah, I don't know that that'll
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: be the I don't know that I'll be continuing to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: watch that. But anyway, that's uh.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: When an ex conper terms to Florida to find a
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: mobster's runaway girlfriend, which should have been a quick gig
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: turns into a wild odyssey.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it just sounds like another like drug infused
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: crime drama is what it was. But adding Florida Man
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: kind of adds some intrigue to it. I suppose that they,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you know, that they you know, think that that that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: makes it more attractive, and maybe it does to the viewers.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm not certain about that that that that's the case. Uh,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: but we'll uh uh well, but we do have our
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: regular Florida Man entry, so we'll uh so we'll have
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that coming up. The uh Texas women's basketball team goes

• 7:14
  Speaker 1: him last night, talking about the difficult time of year
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that it is, you know for student athletes, because it's
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: it's really kind of yeah, it's interesting and strange. And
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I was talking with one of the video people,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: one of the video students from Texas women's basketball team
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: at Grace. I was visiting with Grace, and she said
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: she had to start on a final last week when
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the team was in South Bend, but that the finals
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: didn't really officially begin until this week and now they're
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: kind of headlong and buried in it. We heard Kyla
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: old Are saying she had one more final to go
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to day. Uh, so there's there's different ones, uh, and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and so that's going on. So anyway, it's uh, it'll
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how it, you know, how
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it transpires, how the how the student athletes deal with both.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: But the ones that we visited with have said that
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: they're they're navigating it. Okay, I mean, did you did
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the final exams give you a big problem.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: As a calm major? So you know, not really, I
• 8:31
