• 0:22
  to five. On Friday, however, we will be in Dallas
• 0:28
  and we look forward to bringing you the program from
• 0:31
  bar w New and Cool Sports Bar in Dallas. It's
• 0:38
  on Maple Avenue and it's just across from If you
• 0:42
  know Dallas, you know where the Stoneley Hotel is there
• 0:44
  on Maple.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: That's where it's across the street from.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: In fact, it's in the old Stoneley p Bar space there,
• 0:52
  and so we'll do the program there on Friday. We're
• 0:54
  calling it the red River Preview and we'll be on
• 0:57
  the air from two to six on Friday. We includes
• 1:02
  not only the producer Cameron Parker and myself, but also
• 1:05
  my cardboll Harge will be with us there on Friday
• 1:10
  this Friday of Red River Rivalry Week, and then on
• 1:14
  Saturday morning beginning at eleven thirty on the fair grounds
• 1:19
  of the State Fair of Texas where they've played this
• 1:22
  football game continuously since nineteen twenty nine. This is the
• 1:26
  one hundred and twentieth meeting between Texas and Oklahoma. But
• 1:32
  they've only played it continuously in Dallas since nineteen twenty nine.
• 1:38
  And they used to have an old stadium called fair
• 1:40
  Park Stadium, old wooden grandstand, and they played it in
• 1:43
  there for a little bit in the early thirties, yet
• 1:45
  burned to the ground, called fire and burned. So then
• 1:48
  they built what we now know to be the Cotton Bowl.
• 1:50
  They started playing it there in nineteen thirty seven, and
• 1:52
  then of course it expanded in nineteen forty five, added
• 1:55
  the upper deck, and it was known as the House
• 1:57
  that Doak built because Doak Walker ran up and down
• 2:01
  that field when he was winning the Heisman Trophy for
• 2:03
  SMU in the mid to late forties. And so they've
• 2:07
  been playing it in Dallas continuously since nineteen twenty nine
• 2:10
  on the fair Grounds. And on the Fairgrounds is where
• 2:14
  Cameron Parker, Mike Cardball, Hard and the world's strongest man
• 2:19
  Mark Henry will bring you our Longhorns game day program
• 2:24
  leaning up to Texas OU Saturday. Of course, the network
• 2:27
  pre game Roger Wallace, Will Matthews will join me for
• 2:30
  that beginning at one point thirty the kickoff at and
• 2:33
  it's probably gonna be closer to two forty five to
• 2:35
  two fifty, but you know it's scheduled for two THIRTI
• 2:39
  it's gonna be a little bit later that by the
• 2:41
  time they kick it off. But anyway, our coverage begins
• 2:45
  at eleven thirty Saturday morning from the Fairgrounds. So prediction
• 2:50
  by the time you take air Saturday morning at eleven
• 2:53
  thirty for the game day programming, how many deep fried
• 2:59
  foods will you consumed by them? Probably just a corn dog?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, probably just a corn dog, because depending on the
• 3:07
  setup time and the teardown time and where are we
• 3:12
  at in the vicinity of other food places that are
• 3:17
  easy to get to and get back because it's it's
• 3:19
  going to be packed, it's going to be great weather,
• 3:20
  and it's going to mean to be packed. And of course,
• 3:23
  you know the press box, they do give us rudies
• 3:25
  to think last year was rudy, so we'll bank on that.
• 3:28
  But afterwards, because there's really no point in rushing to
• 3:31
  get home, depending on how the result goes, that's when
• 3:35
  I'll probably dive into some of something else deeper fried foods,
• 3:39
  I think, and that's what I didn't get too crazy
• 3:43
  this past year. I did Friday Orios the first time
• 3:45
  two years ago. That was incredible, But I think in
• 3:48
  this year, I don't know that the Turculate's forty forty
• 3:51
  tickets forty bucks. I don't know if I can stomach
• 3:54
  that crag, but I may have to because I still
• 3:56
  I haven't had a turculate yet from the Texas State there.
• 3:58
  I've had it from that of Carolina State Fair, but
• 4:02
  never have had it from the Texas State there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's something special. I'm a corn doll guy,
• 4:06
  but I've had the turkey leg and uh and then
• 4:11
  I think I had the deep fried biscoff dessert last year.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: That was pretty cool.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Where they have anything that's got kind of chocolate and
• 4:19
  caramel and peanut butter, peanut but that stuff.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm there, you know all that kind of stuff.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that's just the lines in trying to eat
• 4:30
  it in the hot sun, like when you're when you're
• 4:32
  so heat deprived, you just want something cool. But there's
• 4:35
  a lot of you know, kind of frozen items this year.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, tomorrow on the program, we're gonna run down the
• 4:42
  State Fair food the things that folks can do.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: There's some very interesting options this year. Yeah, I think.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I'm honest, I think last year was better looking at
• 4:51
  the new food items because there's not there's not a
• 4:55
  lot to choose from. I mean there there's a lot
• 4:57
  to choose from, but there's also not a lot to
• 4:58
  choose from.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll run those things down today. All right, Okay,
• 5:06
  somebody on the text line say, hey, that Victory plus
• 5:09
  app is pretty cool. It's free and better user friendly
• 5:13
  than the paligs app.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: As what they say about that?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, coming up, we're going to visit with
• 5:19
  Greg Tapper, managing editor or Dave Camill's Texas Football Magazine.
• 5:22
  But before we get to tap, just to give you
• 5:25
  an idea of what goes through the player's minds on
• 5:28
  a week like this. Never mind that Texas is a
• 5:32
  fourteen and a half pointy favorite, This is Texas.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You is the Red River rivalry.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I've been in that broadcast booth and seen what Texas
• 5:43
  was a substantial favorite and got smacked around by Oklahoma.
• 5:48
  I've been in that broadcast booth when Oklahoma was a
• 5:50
  substantial favorite and got smacked around by Texas again, throwing
• 5:56
  record books out of windows and all that other kind
• 5:58
  of stuff. For getting that all that stuff, this game
• 6:01
  stands alone, and a guy like David Benda, who's about
• 6:06
  to play in his sixth Texas OU game, knows all
• 6:09
  about what needs to go into the preparation and the
• 6:13
  mental preparedness and emotional preparedness to play in this game.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Great support, but honestly, we got to make sure we
• 6:19
  come out and bring our best because I know they're
• 6:20
  gonna bring.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Out their best. I mean, it's the Texas OU rivalry.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Everyone thinks they're saying they I'm telling you, oh, you's
• 6:26
  gonna bring their best regardless of what they're doing. I
• 6:28
  know we're taking a week, but we just seeing those games, honestly,
• 6:31
  it was just it was eye opening. It was just
• 6:33
  more like to reinforce the idea of like we need
• 6:36
  to hone in on the little details in regardless that
• 6:38
  hey is never in the in the barn.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: We got to make sure we.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Have every rock turn, every little thing. We need to
• 6:45
  hone in on many to make sure we're fanatical to
• 6:48
  the ball, make sure we'll just have everything sound because
• 6:50
  it doesn't matter who you're facing, regardless of what's gonna happen.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It's college football. Anything can happen, you know.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, playing and simple, and we saw that last weekend
• 6:58
  with Vanderbilt knocking off Alabama, Arkansas beating Tennessee at Texas
• 7:03
  A and m was actually slightly favored over Missouri, but
• 7:06
  to dominate them the way they did, absolutely dominate them,
• 7:10
  I think surprised a lot of folks. And then to
• 7:16
  see some of the other surprises USC lose in Minnesota.
• 7:19
  Michigan lost to Washington. Five of the top eleven ranked
• 7:23
  teams the nation went down to defeat. So it's a
• 7:26
  difference with college football a supposed to the NFL. All right,
• 7:28
  up next, we'll talk about college and high school football
• 7:31
  in the state of Texas As. We'll visit with Greg Tepper,
• 7:34
  managing editor of Dave Campills Texas Football Magazine. When we
• 7:37
  continue on Sports Radio AM thirteen under the zone of
• 7:39
  the iHeartRadio app
