  Speaker 11: on the diamond baseball and softball for Texas. Good afternoon, everybody,
• 4:59
  Speaker 11: Welcome to the pro here on Sports Video AM thirteen
• 5:03
  Speaker 11: hundred Zone. Glad to be back in the studio with you,
• 5:06
  Speaker 11: Craig Way, Cameron Parker. Like we said, we can count
• 5:08
  Speaker 11: the number of days on one hand the times that
• 5:11
  Speaker 11: we've been in the studio of the past month. But
• 5:13
  Speaker 11: we're back and we'll back by and large. I will
• 5:17
  Speaker 11: be out at UFCU dish f Field tomorrow, but by
• 5:20
  Speaker 11: and large, over the next couple of weeks will be
• 5:22
  Speaker 11: largely in studio. And what a weekend it was for
• 5:24
  Speaker 11: both Texas Baseball and Texas Softball Softball sweeping out the
• 5:28
  Speaker 11: Missouri Tigers with a double header sweep yesterday. Tea in
• 5:31
  Speaker 11: Cavan with a no hitter in Game one of the series,
• 5:36
  Speaker 11: then comes back and saves Game two and then goes
• 5:42
  Speaker 11: the distance one hundred and thirty pitches and wins Game three.
• 5:44
  Speaker 11: I don't think there's any doubts she'll be SEC Pitcher
• 5:47
  Speaker 11: of the Week. SEC Freshman of the Week on the
• 5:51
  Speaker 11: baseball side went to Dylan Balantis, who was nails all
• 5:56
  Speaker 11: the way through the course of the weekend for the
• 5:59
  Speaker 11: Long Horns and wound up being the winning pitcher yesterday,
• 6:03
  Speaker 11: so he earns SEC Freshman of the Week honors, does Philantis,
• 6:10
  Speaker 11: and leading the Long Horns to that sweep, he had
• 6:15
  Speaker 11: a save and win against Georgia in his two outings
• 6:19
  Speaker 11: nine strikeouts over five and a third scoreless innings against
• 6:23
  Speaker 11: the number two offense in the country. Now on Friday,
• 6:27
  Speaker 11: he recorded the final four outs on eight pitches to
• 6:30
  Speaker 11: pick up his seventh save, and then yesterday afternoon he
• 6:33
  Speaker 11: retired twelve to fourteen batters he faced.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: The two who reached. One was a four pitch walk.
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: It was odd to the number nine hitter in the
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: seventh inning after he'd struck out the first two batters,
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: and then then he came back on his strike how
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: to get out of inding. And then in the ninth
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: he gave up a hit and or maybe it was
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: a tenth an infield single and then came back and
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: finished it off for there so he.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Now in conference play.
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: Valantas is now allowed to run in thirteen in the
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: third innings, one to zero and six saves in conference
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: play and issued only two walks and twenty strikeouts over
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: his first seven SEC appearances. Then there was the hitting
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: will Gasparino continues to swing the hot bat also Jalen
• 7:23
  Speaker 9: Flores with a couple of big home runs, and then
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: of course the Coudah with the walkoff that was Ryland
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: Galvan opposite field. We said it before the game yesterday,
• 7:32
  Speaker 9: Mike cardball hard and that anything that's going to go
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: out is going to go out.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: To write.
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: All five home runs that were hit yesterday and we're
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: all hit or four two by Georgia, two by Texas
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: all went out to right field. So Texas tied for
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: first on top of the SEC standings. Of course, long
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: rn Softball number one in the country and on top
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: of the SEC softball standings. Texas up to number two
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: now in the D one baseball dot Com rankings, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: Arkansas is the new number one team after Tennessee. Inexplicably,
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: after no hitting and run ruling, Texas A and M
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: on Thursday winds up losing, or on Friday winds up
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: losing both ends of a doubleheader to lose the series
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: and actually got run ruled in one of those. So
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: the Aggies showing some life after going starting off one
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: to nine in Southeastern Conference play, the Aggies come back
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: with back to back wins over previously number one ranked Tennessee.
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: So SEC played very very interesting. Been a busy time,
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: interesting time as well. Cameron Parker is the producer. That's
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: Cameron D. Parker the he standing for coming from his
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: favorite pro football team that has been kind of quite
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: of late, those Dallas Cowboys. There's been a lot of
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: trade speculation and things of that nature, but nothing new
• 8:53
  Speaker 9: to report there, which I know is nothing new to you,
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: Cameron Winning comes to your favorite pro football team.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: I haven't even followed a lick of an NFL news
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: in the past weeks three months. Maybe I'm so far
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: out in the Dallas Cowboys right now. But hey, you
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: know what, it's a Monday, and it's a Master's Monday. Correct,
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: That's what we should be talking about here.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: That's true. That's true.
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: Maybe you should pull up the when we come out
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: of the Break or something of the AUGUSTA National Music
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: the Master's Theme or.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Something like that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: Today, because it is a Master's Monday and the week
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: leading up to an inclusive of the first of the
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: four major championships on the Pro Golf Tour this year,
• 9:34
  Speaker 9: so there is that. There's also a college basketball national
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: championship game to be decided before we get that first
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: of all, of course, the women's national Championship was decided yesterday.
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: Anybody that has followed the game really really closely this
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: season and especially over the last month probably would not
• 9:57
  Speaker 9: have been shocked even by the margin of victory that
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: Yukon had in pounding South Carolina yesterday. Remember a month
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: ago they went in there, and about six weeks ago
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: it was the same day that Texas PATTLSU women here
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: that Yukon went into Columbia and blew out the game Cocks.
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: They did it again in the National Championship, and this
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: was the course after South Carolina pretty much dominated Texas
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: to win on Friday night. They won by seventeen points,
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: seventy four to fifty seven. The log worn season ended
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: at thirty four and thirty five and four and their
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: highest win total since their first year in NCAA played
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: nineteen eighty one eighty two in the old AIAW, which
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: was the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women that before
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: the NCAA recognized women's athletics. In the early eighties, they
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: had aia W for women and Texas played in a
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: couple of AAAW championship matchups, didn't win when played in
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: a couple.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: They won thirty five ball.
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: Games in the seventy eight to seventy nine season, but
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: they had not won thirty five ball games or they
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: won thirty seven that year. They had not won as
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: many as thirty five since their first year eighty one
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: eighty two when they got to the finals and lost
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: to Rutgers in the NCAA Championship, and they won thirty five,
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: had another step forward for the program. They had been
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: to the Elite Eight three of the four prior seasons
• 11:23
  Speaker 9: under Vick Schaeffer, four out of five to the Elite eight,
• 11:26
  Speaker 9: to now a trip to the final four. So disappointment, yes,
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: that they were unable to finish at South Carolina played
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: outstanding on Friday night in Tampa, Florida, but an excellent
• 11:38
  Speaker 9: experience for the Texas women who will be coming back
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: to the program next year. Most of the team will
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: be returning and they've got some young, exciting players coming in.
• 11:46
  Speaker 9: We'll see also have Vic Schaeffer navigates through the portal
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: to get a couple of things as well, a couple
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: of added pieces for his roster. We'll talk about added
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: pieces for the men's roster coming up, and yes, a
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: preview of the National Championship of the men's side the
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: women's side, All Yukon blowing out South Carolina they did
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: so again, winning.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: By a final count of eighty two to fifty nine.
• 12:11
  Speaker 9: So they won handily in that contest, and Yukon wins
• 12:16
  Speaker 9: another national championship for Gino Arim, a first one in
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: nine years for the Huskies, but they win one there,
• 12:22
  Speaker 9: all right, Coming up, we'll talk to more basketball, a
• 12:25

• 15:30
  Speaker 7: you had to win over Saint John's. No, they lost
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: that game. They lost that game, beat San Diego, but
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: lost to Saint John's on Tuesday Night. That was part
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: of that stretch last season when Texas was having trouble
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: on Tuesday nights, and you know a lot of that.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Was the pitching. Of course you're not having your number

• 16:03
  Speaker 7: It might have been a flip flop. I think it
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: was a loss of San Diego on a Saturday. Then
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: maybe it was a one over Saint John's.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: I know it was. No, it was a winner for
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: San Diegause.
• 16:10

• 17:09
  Speaker 9: course I'm back yesterday, and you know what goes through
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: my mind. I'm not a superstitious guy, but I'm thinking, Okay,
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: so they've won two games already against Georgia. They've won
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: two games, they won the series. So what happens with
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: the number one dude back in the chair here on Sunday. Well,
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: Ryland Gallant took care of that, and Will and Dylan
• 17:32
  Speaker 9: Valantis took care of that.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: The log Ruds took care of that. They won. So
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: that's why I said the announcer Jings' see, but.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: You've called me, You've called College World Series championship victories

• 17:45
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: I think you're clear. I think you beat. The Hards
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: accused me of being in a jinx on air during
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: the game, really so that hurt my feelings a little bit.
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: Feeling well, both you guys were good, fine, it was
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: It was good having hardball hearts with us on throughout
• 17:59
  Speaker 9: the course of the week. The Redhead rejoins me tomorrow
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: night wells on back of Keith Moreland to be back
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: with the Keith, uh will be back with me tomorrow
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: and Keith and I will be in lex in Kentucky
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: this weekend for the matchup with the Kentucky Wildcats. As
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: Texas will play the three game weekend series with the Wildcats.
• 18:17
  Speaker 9: As far as the Texas saying call me crazy, Gasprino
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: has followed.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Through on his swing.
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: Looks like Mark McGuire, let me say this, uh, Will
• 18:25
  Speaker 9: Gasprino has done a lot of work on his swing,
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: and he's got a lot of work and a lot
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: of help from Troy Tulowitzki as well, and and Tulo's
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: worked with him pretty extensively. Nolan Kane as well, Long
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: Runs associate head coach David and Uh. And obviously Jim Slosnagel,
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: the whole coaching staff has been very hands on with
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: this groove and worked with him diligently, both in the
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: hitting and the pitching. What Max Wiener's done with the
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: pitching staff has been most impressive.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: And this so this.
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: Team plays with real loose, confident air about them. They
• 19:04
  Speaker 9: don't worry about the fact that they get down the game.
• 19:08
  Speaker 9: Cameron called them down for nothing going into the middle
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: innings and rallied back to win that. They've had some
• 19:15
  Speaker 9: other games where they had to rally back and win
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: this season. Uh, And and they've done that. So yeah, Uh,
• 19:22
  Speaker 9: they've done that.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: And they they also.
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: Up to number two in the poll behind Arkansas and
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: LSU was number three in the rankings. In fact, I
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: think that pull this up, Cam. I was looking at
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: this this morning. Uh, and this is this is what
• 19:41
  Speaker 9: folks talk about when they talk about the SEC and
• 19:44
  Speaker 9: you know, whatever you say, it just means more whatever
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: you want to say on that that kind of thing.
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: But my point was about the SEC was if you
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: look at the rankings, Uh, it's it's pretty prolific.
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: Uh.
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: What is what's out there right now with the Southeastern Conference.
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: And I'm just pulling this up even as we speak
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: right now, because I want to make sure I don't
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: want to add it wrong or say it wrong. I
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: want to make sure that I've got it right.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what. Let me just yeah here
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: it is okay.
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: So the top twenty five rankings, Arkansas is number one,
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: as we mentioned, Texas is number two, LSU was third,
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: Clemson is four, Tennessee is fifth, Ole Miss six, Georgia seven,
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: Oregon State eight, Florida State nine, UCLA ten. If you're
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: counting the top three teams in the poll are all
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: seas three sec for the top five, five of the
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: top six, six of the top seven, and then the
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: second ten begins with Auburn at number eleven. Alabama is twelve,
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: So that would be eight of the top twelve that
• 21:10
  Speaker 9: I get to write Arkansas, Texas, LSU, Tennessee, Ole, Miss, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: That's eight of the top twelve.
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: Then Ucrveryne is thirteen, Louisville fourteen, Oregon fifteen, North Carolina sixteen,
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: Vanderbilt is seventeen. That's nine of the top seventeen, and Georgia,
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: Texas eighteen Oklahoma's nineteen. That's ten of the top nineteen teams.
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: Ten SEC schools in the top nineteen. There By the way,
• 21:42
  Speaker 9: outside of the SEC, there's a pretty big series this week. Kansas,
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: who is on top of the Big twelve standings with TCU,
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: plays TCU this week. Kansas got into the poll this
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: week at number twenty two. TCU not in the poll yet.
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: Kansas State had dropped out out after being swept by
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: Oklahoma State. So that's another series to keep an eye on,
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: is that TCU Kansas series because Kansas is having its
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: best season in many many years on the diamond on
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: that okay, I mentioned Texas being ranked where they are
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: right now. Now to college basketball National Championship game is tonight.
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: It is Florida against Houston. Some folks thought it was
• 22:33
  Speaker 9: definitely going to be Duke. I think most people thought
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: it was definitely going to be Duke when they were
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: up fourteen with about what seven minutes to go in
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: the game.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: There's been a lot of analysis on what happened to
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: them over the final really five minutes of the basketball game.
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: Some said they weren't aggressive enough driving to the hoop
• 22:52
  Speaker 9: on some of that some said you used to give
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: Houston credit playing a lot better defense. Duke failed to
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: make shots. There were some calls that went again Duke
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: as well. I think all of that is true. I'll
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: tell you what also boils down to it for me.
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: Duke had a six point lead with a minute to go.
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: It was sixty seven sixty one. They kind of pulled
• 23:18
  Speaker 9: the trigger pretty quickly on a three pointer, missed it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: Houston came down, got the rebound. I think it was
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: Emmanuel Sharp hits a three, and now it's cut to three.
• 23:28
  Speaker 9: It's sixty seven sixty four, with about forty seconds to go,
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: maybe forty three seconds. They end down the ball. Duke
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: in bounds the ball quickly and they're bringing it up
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: the floor, and I forgot who was bringing it up
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: the floor, but Cooper flag was wide open, and instead
• 23:50
  Speaker 9: he passed the ball to Proctor.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Proctor is the weakest free throw shooter on the team.
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: He gets fouled sixty eight percent, but still by far
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: the others were in the high eighties to low ninety.
• 24:00
  Speaker 9: He's even on the free front percentages including flak. So
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: Proctor goes to the free throw line, misses the front
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: end of the one in one and then that sets
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: in motion what happens for Houston to come down to
• 24:10
  Speaker 9: tie it, and then du missing another shot.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: And then Houston getting the game winner and all that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: So there's little things mixed in with some of those
• 24:19
  Speaker 9: big things.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I thought both teams were well coached.
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: Galvin Sampson did a heck of a job with his
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: guys down the stretch to help get him to that point.
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: Now they play Florida tonight and what could be one
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: of the most bruising physical college basketball games, certainly ever
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: inter national championship game, I think on both sides, because
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: neither side is gonna you know, they will expect no quarter,
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: they will accept no quarter, They will go ahead and
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: just bludgeon the other team. So what that stands to
• 24:56
  Speaker 9: reason then, is which team can stay out of foul difficulty,
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: because you know, if some of Houston's bigs wind up
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: getting in the foul difficulty, same story with Florida as well,
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: it could tip the scale one way or the other.
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: And both teams shoot the three, like shooting the three pointer,
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: and if they can knock down threes, it might throw
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: the other team off balance. But I think this will
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: be a good National championship game tonight.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: I'm super excited for it, Craig. I mean, these two
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: teams have been actually grinding through the tournament, and there's
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: been certain points where it looked like both teams are
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: possibly going to have their season come to an end.
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: I mean, the Houston Gonzaga game in the second round
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: came down right to the wire. Gonzaga had a chance
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: to win that game, and then of course Houston just
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: absolutely decimated Tennessee, and of course down by fourteen, then
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: down by four and then down by six, and you know,
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: if Duken just make some free throws are inbound the basketball,
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: we could be talking about Duke and Florida. On the
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: Florida side, I think they've trailed in every game except
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: for the first at some point, and maybe they were
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: down to nothing in that game, but they have really
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: played well in the second half. I mean, what Clayton
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: did against Texas Tech incredible. I mean, that's a highlight
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: reel that we're gonna be watching for years to come,
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: because if not for his scoring broads and the step
• 26:15
  Speaker 7: back threes, we're talking about maybe an Auburn Houston National
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: championship or a Texas Tech Houston championship. But these two teams,
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: it looks like at certain points they have been dead,
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: but they have come back from behind and just shows
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: you how tough they are, right. I Mean, we've known Craig,
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: me and you about how tough Houston is because obviously
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: Texas and their relationship with h Town coach Sampson. Obviously
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: he's well known for how tough his teams have played.
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: And they have brought that to the Big Twelve, and
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: they brought to the tournament and in Florida, we saw
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: Florida first hand in Gainesville. I mean from there it
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: felt like, okay, this is I felt like Auburn and
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: Florida were the two best teams in the country and
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: not surprised at both made to the final four.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: And it's going to be a hard, in physical game.
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: It won't be I don't think it's going to be
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: like ninety five to ninety Craig, So it's it's gonna
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: be definitely a tight game. I mean, these two teams
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: have got to be exhausted. It's been some physical basketball.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: I mean you could argue that. I mean, the final
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: four games could have been national championship itself because of
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: the two teams, the four teams playing it, and the
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: way the games were played. So it's going to be
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: fun and can't think of a better way in the
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: college basketball season.
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: In the case of the Florida Auburn game, Auburn, remember
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: had an eight point halftime league yep, and then it's
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: been largely theorized that they didn't get as aggressive done that.
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: I think Florida defended them better as well, and jane
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: I Brown was not the factor in the second half
• 27:34
  Speaker 9: that he was in the first half and for that matter,
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: throughout a lot of the tournament as well.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: So Florida knocks them outs.
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: You mentioned what Clayton did and then the win over
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: Texas text peak of Texas Tech.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know if if folks saw this.
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: Darien Williams has entered the Transfer portal the Red Raider
• 27:52
  Speaker 9: stand out and also Baylor guard the freshman Robert Wright
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: all Big Twelve Honorable mention and was a member of
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: the All Freshman team also is entering the portal. The
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: average eleven a half points and forrests per game as well.
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: We'll talk more about those sorts of things and some
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: college basketball, but up next we do have inconceivable for
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: a Monday afternoon.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: That's next. Here. I'm thirteen under the zone.
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: Craig Way, alongside the producer Cameron Parker, and we're with
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: you up until five o'clock each and every after and
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: out tomorrow. We should point out we'll actually get a
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: little bit later start on the program because we do
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: have a Round Rock Express game to bring you. Ryland
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: Kobra actually will be bringing the game to you, you know.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Be out at Dell Diamond. And it's the it's the
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: annual is it the drug awareness and education.
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: Game that they that they that they have like during
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: the school day's Education Day, that's what that's what it is.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: It's it's called Education Day.
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: And that'll be the game tomorrow afternoon at DL Diamond
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: playing by the way, and I just noticed this the
• 29:09
  Speaker 9: other day. They're playing the Dodgers Triple A team, which
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: is Oklahoma City. Now, when you filled in for Ryland
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: last year, they were weren't they called what Oklahoma City
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: Baseball Club or something because they had been Oklahoma City
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: Dodgers and then even though they are still the Dodgers
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: Triple A affiliate, they are not owned by the Dodgers
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: and if I remember hearing about this correctly, then kind
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: of came the directive that they needed to change their
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: name because they weren't owned by the Dodgers.
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: If I'm if I'm remembering this correctly. At the I
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: think so new ownership group came in that wasn't the Dodgers,
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: and so they had to rename, and that they took
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: a year off kind of just waiting, kind of like
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: the Utah Hockey Club was waiting for a year before that.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: They still are.
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: They chose their name, but okay see, waited a year
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: and then they ended up picking their team name.
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: How about that? So they were the Oklahoma City Dodger. Now,
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: for those of us who remember when they were Arrangers
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: Triple A team, they were the Oklahoma City RedHawks for
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: years agoing back for years when Keith Morland was playing
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: for the when they were the Phillies Triple A they
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: were the Oklahoma City eighty nine Ers, named for the
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: year that not that Oklahoma became a state. They didn't
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: become a state until nineteen oh seven. It was still
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: called Indian Territory and all that, but they opened it
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: to settlement at eighteen eighty nine with the land rush,
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: hence the name Sooners, you know, the ones who jumped
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: the deadline or the start time. That's why some Longhorn
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: fans have taken a calling them the land thieves, you know.
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: But anyway, they were called the eighty nine Ers for years,
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: and then they became the Oklahoma City red Hawks for
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: a long time, and then they were the Oklahoma red Hawks,
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: and then after that, then when the Dodgers had ownership
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: in them, and they were the Oklahoma City Dodgers. And
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: then they got a new ownership group that was not
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: part of the Dodgers ownership group. So they were instructed
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: that they were going to have to change their name,
• 31:41
  Speaker 9: and so they did so. Now they're the Oklahoma City Comets.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Comets.
• 31:49
  Speaker 9: I was telling my youngest son about that yesterday and
• 31:52
  Speaker 9: he goes, isn't that the name of a WNBA team?
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: A said, it used to be used to be the
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: Houston Comments for a while. My dad grew up in
• 32:02
  Speaker 9: a town where Cameron Parker played golf. Before Ashboro, North Carolina.
• 32:06
  Speaker 9: My dad was from Ashborough. He was an Ashborough Blue Comet.
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: That was their name. There's no comment, by the way,
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: in Texas high school football mascot lore No comments on that.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: A little bit surprising.
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: I always thought if I ever owned a minor league
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: baseball team down along the coast of North Carolina, you know,
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: maybe near Shiloh, where a lot of fans would come
• 32:30
  Speaker 9: down from Wilmington or up from North Turntle Beach or whatever,
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: I would call them the Coastal Commets. Just call them
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: the Coastal Commets, because that's that's down along the South Brunswick.
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: Is that one of your dreams. I haven't heard this before.
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: You wanted to own a minor league baseball club.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: All Over the years I've thought of how like, you
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: know what you do?
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: Know?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Want to really? You know?
• 32:49
  Speaker 9: When it really hit home for me when my hometown
• 32:53
  Speaker 9: built a brand new downtown ballpark, beautiful downtown ballpark, Greensboro,
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: North Carolina, because they used to play an old Memorial stadium.
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: If I have ever seen bulldoorum, you've seen that ballpark.
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: It's in there and there's football games that are played
• 33:06
  Speaker 9: in there. My high school played a football game in
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: there one time, at Old War Memorial Stadium. It was
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: built as a tribute and honoring World War One veterans.
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: That stadium opened in nineteen twenty six. It's still around
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: and they still have like some amateur baseball games. North
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: Carolina A and T play some games there. There's some
• 33:25
  Speaker 9: college games played there, but no more minor league games there.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: But they had minor league baseball in there for ever
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: and ever, and I never had a team called the
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: Greensboro Bats. Then they had a team, they had a
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: Hornets team, They had all these different team names. But
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: then they built a new ballpark downtown, beautiful new ballpark,
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: and the first time I went in, I thought, what
• 33:43
  Speaker 9: used to be here when I was a kid, and
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: it was driving me crazy. And then remember it used
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: to be an old downtown Sears and Roebucks store where
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: you're going. Its first time I ever wrote an escalator
• 33:52
  Speaker 9: back then when I was a little kid in the
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: late sixties or whatever. But there's a beautiful downtown ballpark there,
• 33:58
  Speaker 9: home of the Greensburg Grasshoppers of the Carolina League. And
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: when they did the minor league contraction a few years ago,
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: Greensboro was a low A ball club.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: They got elevated.
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: It's a high A ball there and are thriving as
• 34:14
  Speaker 9: a single A affiliate, I believe of the Pirates, and
• 34:18
  Speaker 9: it's a great Ballpark, and when I went there a
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: couple of times, I thought it'd be fun to own
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: the minor league team, you know, if you had the
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: funds and the means and all that other kind of stuff.
• 34:26
  Speaker 9: And if I had one, I would want to have
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: one down along where I go on vacation down along
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: the coast there in Brunswick County, and just call them
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: the Coastal Commets or whatever. In any event, the Comets
• 34:38
  Speaker 9: name is now being used by Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma
• 34:42
  Speaker 9: City Commets. They're playing the Round Rock Express tomorrow and
• 34:50
  Speaker 9: that contest will be I believe at noon.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Eleven fifty year time, twelve or five. First pitch right
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: here on cave at AM, all right.
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: On AM thirteen hundred zone here it is all right,
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: So it'll be tomorrow as they'll be taking on, like
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: I said, Round Rock against Oklahoma City. That's at noon
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: eleven fifty airtime. And then our show will follow that.
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: I will be out at UFCU dish fark Field because
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: also tomorrow night on the zone we bring in log
• 35:22
  Speaker 9: Worn Baseball, as the Logrorns are back in action. They'll
• 35:24
  Speaker 9: take on the Huskies of Houston Christian, who in Texas
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: has played some Houston Christian teams that were really really
• 35:31
  Speaker 9: not good when Lance Berkman was coaching them, and some
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: of the other that they just weren't good. This team's
• 35:35
  Speaker 9: pretty decent. They're twenty and ten going into the ballgame.
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: So Texas will take on the Houston Christian Huskies. They
• 35:50
  Speaker 9: have a team batting average of to eighty six, respectable enough.
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: Ere is a little elevated at four point nine to zero,
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: but a lot of teams have that these days. Georgia
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: team era IS was pushing five when the Long Worns
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: played them over the weekend. So now Texas will play
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: Houston Christian tomorrow evening and you can hear that here
• 36:14
  Speaker 9: on the Zone six fifteen pregame. Star time in the
• 36:16
  Speaker 9: first pitch is at six thirty. So that's what's going
• 36:20
  Speaker 9: on tomorrow night. But round Rock Express tomorrow afternoon. I
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: think Mike Hardball Hart will be out there at Del Diamond.
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: He loves going out to the ballpark. Baseball was a
• 36:32
  Speaker 9: big part of his life. He is hardball. He is hardball.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: He is that.
• 36:37
  Speaker 9: Somebody said, UT Dallas is the comments Okay, University of
• 36:42
  Speaker 9: Texas Dallas that's in richardson the campus is up in Richardson.
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: If I remember correctly, there were D three school t
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: Dallas the comments there. The interesting thing about that is
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: after I talked about him this week of the week
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: before the passing of my longtime broadcast professor and Bill Mercer,
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: who a lot of folks knew from world Class Championship
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: wrestling with the van Erics and all that stuff, But
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: he was also the Dallas Cowboys played by play broadcaster
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: in the late sixties and early seventies. He called the
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: Ice Bowl game for the Cowboys against the Packers in
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: the sixties seven NFL Championship. He called the Cowboys for
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: Super Bowl the lost to Baltimore in the first Super
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: Bowl win in Super Bowl six. He was a Texas
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: Rangers first broadcaster to worked with Don Drysdale and then
• 37:31
  Speaker 9: with Dick Reiseneuber. He called Chicago White Sox games for
• 37:34
  Speaker 9: a few years with Harry Carey in the mid seventies,
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: and a lot of folks remembering from his news background
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: at kriled in Dallas and reporting on the Kennedy assassination
• 37:46
  Speaker 9: that faithful weekend in nineteen sixty three, well, Bill, after
• 37:50
  Speaker 9: he retired from North Texas, he was living in Richardson
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: and UT Dallas brought him out of retirement, had him
• 37:59
  Speaker 9: teach some sports broadcasting there and had him do some
• 38:03
  Speaker 9: games for them, some basketball and baseball games for them
• 38:06
  Speaker 9: online broadcast, and that is where he first began training.
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: His granddaughter, Emma Tieman, who is now the play by
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: play broadcaster of the Portland Sea Dogs the Red Sox
• 38:21
  Speaker 9: Double A. And she was just named Maine Sportscaster of
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: the Year, so she'll be at that Sportscaster of the
• 38:26
  Speaker 9: Year banquet that I was at last year being honored
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: and this year Roger Wallace is the Texas Sportscaster of
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: the Year being honored there. So Emma Teeman did that,
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: but she started out learning at UT Dallas with Bill
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: Mercer teaching hear there, so that was really cool. All right,
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: Coming up, we'll jump back into some college baseball talk,
• 38:50
  Speaker 9: some Loghorns and the national college baseball scene and some
• 38:54
  Speaker 9: basketball as well when we can continue here on thirteen
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: under the Zone.
• 38:59
  Speaker 12: Welcome back to the Craig Way Show and the Voice
• 39:02
  Speaker 12: of the Longhorns. Craig on social media at Horn Voice.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Happy to be with you. On the Monday afternoon.
• 39:22
  Speaker 9: It's turning out to be a nice day outside. It's
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: kind of chilly yesterday if you were at the ballpark yesterday,
• 39:28
  Speaker 9: and my hats off to those who were there because
• 39:33
  Speaker 9: it was in the mid to upper fifties and the
• 39:36
  Speaker 9: wind was just handled like.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: I saw a couple of things on social media, and.
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: Hey, it was our old friend Charlie Strong who put
• 39:43
  Speaker 9: it best when he said social media will be the
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: downfall of society.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: But I saw some things I think on.
• 39:50
  Speaker 9: X Twitter, we're folks for complaining saying there were a
• 39:54
  Speaker 9: lot of empty seats at Dishfall Field. I did not
• 39:57
  Speaker 9: see a lot of empty seats yesterday the ballpark, and
• 39:59
  Speaker 9: I was there in the ballpark looked around. There were
• 40:02
  Speaker 9: a few less occupied seats then on Saturday and Friday
• 40:06
  Speaker 9: because the weather wasn't quite as palatable, but it was
• 40:09
  Speaker 9: still good. And I know the announced paid attendance is
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: different than the actual fannies in the seats and ninety
• 40:17
  Speaker 9: was the paid attendance. That sort of thing, and a
• 40:19
  Speaker 9: lot of folks have used this as a platform, and
• 40:23
  Speaker 9: I understand it to complain about the ticketing issue with
• 40:27
  Speaker 9: season tickets being sold out and now having to go
• 40:30
  Speaker 9: through the secondary ticket markets. Most notably, I think seat
• 40:33
  Speaker 9: geek to try to get tickets for the game and
• 40:37
  Speaker 9: saying it cost too much and some other and I
• 40:39
  Speaker 9: saw a lot of this back and forth on social media,
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: and I saw a lot of fans say it was fine.
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: So anyway, it just depends on the perspective that you're
• 40:48
  Speaker 9: coming from on this. But anyway, as I started to say,
• 40:54
  Speaker 9: the SEC players of the week, the player of the
• 40:57
  Speaker 9: week is Cam l of Arkansas, who led the SEC
• 41:04
  Speaker 9: in nearly every major offensive category last week. He had
• 41:09
  Speaker 9: nine hits, including three doubles. He had thirteen RBIs, eighteen
• 41:16
  Speaker 9: total bases, an on base percentage of seven oh six,
• 41:19
  Speaker 9: and a slugging percentage of thirteen eighty five. Of course,
• 41:23
  Speaker 9: they had the weekend series sweep against Missouri a Ballwalker Stadium.
• 41:27
  Speaker 9: The Hogs sent their program record for runs in an
• 41:30
  Speaker 9: SEC series. They swept the Tigers by a combined score
• 41:35
  Speaker 9: fifty one to nine of the three game set. The
• 41:38
  Speaker 9: co pitchers of the week are Kate Anderson of LSU.
• 41:41
  Speaker 9: Had a five hits. It was a five hit it
• 41:46
  Speaker 9: was a complete game shutout Thursday night when they shut
• 41:48
  Speaker 9: out Oh yeah, five hit shutout limited Oklahoma to five
• 41:53
  Speaker 9: hits over nine innings, recorded two walks and a career
• 41:57
  Speaker 9: best fourteen strikeouts. He was the guy who pitched for
• 41:59
  Speaker 9: LSU the game they won against Texas, the Friday night
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: game at UFCU Dish falk Field. The other co pitcher
• 42:06
  Speaker 9: of the week was Liam Doyle of Tennessee. The volunteers
• 42:11
  Speaker 9: at combined no hitter for the second time this season.
• 42:15
  Speaker 9: That was in the series opener on Friday against Texas
• 42:17
  Speaker 9: A and M. He had eight strikeouts two walks over
• 42:20
  Speaker 9: six shutout innings on that the tenth no hitter in
• 42:23
  Speaker 9: program history and the first by an SEC team in
• 42:26
  Speaker 9: league play in three years since Vanderbilt no hit Kentucky.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: So Liam Doyle got that now.
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: Of course, folks had pointed out what happened after that,
• 42:36
  Speaker 9: that they had to play a doubleheader on Saturday because
• 42:40
  Speaker 9: of the inclement weather coming in, and Texas A and
• 42:43
  Speaker 9: M not only won both games to beat Tennessee, who
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: was number one at the time to win that series,
• 42:49
  Speaker 9: but that the Aggies also run ruled the Volunteers in
• 42:54
  Speaker 9: one of those games as well. Texas A and M
• 42:55
  Speaker 9: ended up winning the series. They were one in nine
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: in SEC playing. They're now three to nine in the
• 43:00
  Speaker 9: conference and Tennessee drops to nine and three in conference play.
• 43:05
  Speaker 9: And then the freshman of the week Dylan Valantis of
• 43:07
  Speaker 9: the Longhorns. They appeared twice. He picked up a save
• 43:10
  Speaker 9: and win against third rank Georgia at the time Georgia,
• 43:13
  Speaker 9: I think he has dropped the number five now the
• 43:16
  Speaker 9: first sweep over a top three team in more than
• 43:19
  Speaker 9: six years. That was when they had that big sweep.
• 43:25
  Speaker 9: I think of LSU several years ago. In his two outings,
• 43:29
  Speaker 9: Valanis had nine strikeouts, omber five and a third scoreless
• 43:33
  Speaker 9: innings against the second most prolific offense as it's called
• 43:38
  Speaker 9: in college baseball. He had the final four outs and
• 43:41
  Speaker 9: just eight pitches on Friday to pick up his seventh
• 43:44
  Speaker 9: save and lock down the series opening win. And then
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: yesterday he retired twelve to fourteen batters he faced, with
• 43:51
  Speaker 9: eight of those outs being strikeouts.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: That was a career high for him.
• 43:56
  Speaker 9: He gave up one hit in one walk and that
• 43:59
  Speaker 9: was hit and got the win obviously on the Ryland
• 44:03
  Speaker 9: Galvan home run.
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: Pretty impressive stuff from Dylan to Land, no doubt, Craig
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: and not just Dylan, but the entire Texas rotation from
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: the starters to the bullpen. I mean they used six
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: total pitchers against going in the arguably the best statistical
• 44:19
  Speaker 7: offense in the Southeastern Conference. I even mean if you
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: told coach Tim slas And and Max Willa, hey, you're
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: only going to use three bullpen guys this weekend, they
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: would have been like, huh, did everything get rained out?
• 44:29
  Speaker 7: But no, they pitched so well and so dominant against
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: such a great and physical team, as Slash called them,
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: and they looked like the better team. Taxas played a
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: little bit more patient and they I mean they trailed
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: in two of the three games this weekend, and they
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: were in some real tough spots and there were some
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: points where it was the two or three or four
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: hole hitter for Georgia. I mean every I mean the
• 44:50
  Speaker 7: top half in the bottom that all over three hundred
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: would come to the play with runners in scoring position
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: and Texas would find a way to be able to
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: get them out, which was c and the spite being down,
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: I mean, Texas has played like such a physical and
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: more experienced team and Craig that did it without Max
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: belou and Adrian Rodriguez.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, how about Jaquay Stewart coming in.
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: I mean, I don't think there's a lot of hitting depth,
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: and Slaws talked about how he wants to have a
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: lineup full of lefties. I mean, they only had two
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: lefties in the lineup for most of the series. But
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: one of those, Daquay Stewart, had a couple huge at
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: bats in this series. So Texas, despite the injuries and
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: the depth, hit very well I thought. And then the
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: pitching was certainly outstanding. I mean that pitching room has
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: to be on top of the world right now. After
• 45:33
  Speaker 7: the weekend they had against Georgia. You mentioned Jaquay Stewart.
• 45:36
  Speaker 9: He got his first home run as a long run
• 45:37
  Speaker 9: on Saturday in the game you called there.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: That got Texas on the board. They were there for
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: another huge time.
• 45:42
  Speaker 9: And he really drove the ball well, all right, So
• 45:46
  Speaker 9: after all the smoke had cleared of the weekend, Arkansas
• 45:48
  Speaker 9: swept Missouri finished off with a doubleheader sweep of the weekend.
• 45:52
  Speaker 9: LSU swept Oklahoma in Norman, Tennessee ends up dropping two
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: out of three to Texas, A and M. Georgia of
• 46:00
  Speaker 9: course swept by Texas. Ole miss took two out of
• 46:03
  Speaker 9: three from Kentucky. Alabama dropped two out of three to Auburn.
• 46:12
  Speaker 9: Alabama is seven and five, so it's Arkansas and Texas
• 46:15
  Speaker 9: are both eleven and one on top of the conference
• 46:17
  Speaker 9: standings by one game on top of LSU. Then Tennessee
• 46:21
  Speaker 9: is nine and three, Georgia's eight and four, Ole miss
• 46:24
  Speaker 9: is eight and four, Alabama is seven and five, Vanderbilt
• 46:28
  Speaker 9: is seven and five, Auburn is six and six, Kentucky
• 46:31
  Speaker 9: is five and seven, Oklahomas five and seven.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State is three and nine.
• 46:35
  Speaker 9: Texas A and M by virtue of winning those two
• 46:37
  Speaker 9: games over Tennessee is three and nine in the league.
• 46:41
  Speaker 9: South Carolina is two and ten and then Florida one
• 46:45
  Speaker 9: in eleven. I don't think anybody expected that, and Missouri
• 46:48
  Speaker 9: is zero to twelve in the conference. So that's where
• 46:53
  Speaker 9: it is right now. And in the most recent rankings,
• 46:58
  Speaker 9: D one Baseball has Arkansas number one the country and
• 47:02
  Speaker 9: Texas jumps to number two in the country and LSU
• 47:06
  Speaker 9: is number three in the country, so they have the
• 47:08
  Speaker 9: top three spots there in the in the national polls.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: This week, obviously, the.
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: Longhorns have the non conference game tomorrow night, and they'll
• 47:22
  Speaker 9: be at home against Houston Christian again. That is a
• 47:25
  Speaker 9: six thirty first pitch, six fifteen pregame start time here
• 47:30
  Speaker 9: on thirteen under the zone Again tomorrow Round Rock Express
• 47:34
  Speaker 9: Baseball eleven fifty AM of the pregame and the first
• 47:37
  Speaker 9: pitch is at noon for the Express or twelve or

• 47:51
  Speaker 9: then the Longhorns will play at six thirty Texas in

  Speaker 9: and they're playing and that was in Tallahassee. This one
• 49:53
  Speaker 9: will be in Gainesville. Missouri plays SAU Edwardsville. That sounds
• 49:58
  Speaker 9: like that's going to be a minor league ballpark the
• 50:00
  Speaker 9: Saint Lewis area, if I'm guessing.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Texas.
• 50:03
  Speaker 9: A and M plays at sam Houston, LSU plays at
• 50:08
  Speaker 9: Nickels State. Vanderbilt host Dayton, Mississippi State is at UAB.

• 50:18
  Speaker 9: Alabama will host Southern miss who's number twenty three. That
• 50:20
  Speaker 9: could be a good matchup. Ole Miss is at Memphis.
• 50:23
  Speaker 9: Oklahoma host Dallas Baptist, who is always a good mid
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: major program. Kentucky and Louisville. Louisville number fourteen in the country,
• 50:30
  Speaker 9: so Kentucky will play them before the Loggorns come to town
• 50:33

• 51:08
  Speaker 9: those are the Thursday matchups.

  Speaker 2: This week the Friday series.
• 51:12
  Speaker 9: Keep an eye on these, not only with Texas at Kentucky,
• 51:15
  Speaker 9: but Arkansas at Georgia. It is important to take note
• 51:18
  Speaker 9: of LSU is playing Auburn, two nationally ranked teams, and

  Speaker 9: at home by LSU. So another big weekend of action
• 51:41
  Speaker 9: in the SEC for the Longhorns and for the rest
• 51:47
  Speaker 9: of the Southeastern Conference coming up. We'll go back to
• 51:51
  Speaker 9: some college basketball because I want to talk more about
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: the national championship matchup tonight between Florida's Speaking of the SEC,
• 51:58
  Speaker 9: Florida against Houston. I've got some opinions and projections on
• 52:02
  Speaker 9: those games that we'll get to Later on, we'll talk
• 52:05
  Speaker 9: about some NBA things. Hey, Luca week, Luka Doncris is
• 52:11
  Speaker 9: coming back to the Metroplex. On Wednesday night, the Mavericks
• 52:14
  Speaker 9: host the Lakers. How exciting that would you? Would you
• 52:17
  Speaker 9: go to that game? If you were offer tickets that game?
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: I would definitely go.
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, because I weren't a real big fan of the Lakers.
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: No, but just to be in there because I think
• 52:26
  Speaker 7: Lucas going to get such a great reception. But I mean,
• 52:28
  Speaker 7: I can't imagine what it would be like for for
• 52:31
  Speaker 7: a Mavericks fan because as a Thunder fan, when Katie
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: left to go to the Warriors and he came back,
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: it was a lot of Fitzrell was in chesapeak whole treat.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: I was back at one of those games with all
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: the cupcakes. Yeah, I mean I was.
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: I was watching that game against the Warriors and rooting
• 52:45
  Speaker 7: for every kt mess. But for this game, I feel
• 52:47
  Speaker 7: like Mavericks fans are going to be rooting for Luca
• 52:50
  Speaker 7: to drop like fifty on them because they want Nico
• 52:52
  Speaker 7: Harrison and the ownership staff to watch Nico go Lucas,
• 52:56
  Speaker 7: watch Luca go nuclear against his old team, which I
• 53:00
  Speaker 7: think he might I mean at thirty points against OKC
• 53:02
  Speaker 7: this weekend, and you know Luca, he's a competitive, you know,
• 53:06
  Speaker 7: competitive players, so I feel like Luca is going to
• 53:09
  Speaker 7: have a huge game.
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: Hey, you're a Thunder fan like my younger, so I'm
• 53:12
  Speaker 9: gonna ask you the same question I asked him.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: What the world happened against the Lakers.
• 53:19
  Speaker 10: Nine?
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: Two back to back losses, back to back games where
• 53:22
  Speaker 7: they were out of it in the first half. I
• 53:24
  Speaker 7: don't know if I want to make too much out
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: of it. The team just looks kind of exhausted, looks ghast.
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: I mean, they have locked up the one seat in
• 53:29
  Speaker 7: the Western Conference, a two game lead over Cleveland for
• 53:32
  Speaker 7: the number one spot, which would guarantee home court advantage
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: in the NBA Finals that they got there. Jadab was
• 53:39
  Speaker 7: talking about how the team just needs to kind of,
• 53:41
  Speaker 7: you know, find the energy. So I'm not going to
• 53:43
  Speaker 7: get too worked up over it, but I am a
• 53:47
  Speaker 7: little concerned. I'll just say that. But you know, hey, Lakers, rockets.
• 53:50
  Speaker 7: You know they're fighting for seeding in the playoffs right
• 53:53
  Speaker 7: because right now, the Lakers could be as high as
• 53:56
  Speaker 7: the two seed, Craig, they could drop to the eight seed.
• 53:59
  Speaker 7: They could drop to playing right now. But that tells
• 54:01
  Speaker 7: you how congested the Western conferences. Okay, see, they're fourteen
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: and a half games up over the Rockets, So I
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: am a little bit concerned, but I'm not going to
• 54:08
  Speaker 7: make a big deal out of it too much.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: But you know, we'll see.
• 54:12
  Speaker 7: Even despite how good okay see, he's been this year,
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: I just don't know if they're that dominant team. I
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: think the Celtics are the best EVEM in basketball right now.
• 54:18
  Speaker 7: I think Boston is going back to the finals, and
• 54:20
  Speaker 7: if I was a betting man, I would pick them
• 54:23
  Speaker 7: to win it this season. But still sometime left to go,
• 54:26
  Speaker 7: so we'll see.
• 54:28
  Speaker 9: And the Mavericks need that game. Yeah, but if you're
• 54:32
  Speaker 9: a Mavericks fan, do you want your team to be
• 54:34
  Speaker 9: in the play Well, it's interesting you bring that up.
• 54:38
  Speaker 9: My wife is we went to Game four the NBA
• 54:42
  Speaker 9: Finals last year, and both of us could be listed
• 54:45
  Speaker 9: as Mavericks.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: Fans and we're rooting for them and all that kind
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: of stuff.
• 54:48
  Speaker 9: I asked her the other night, I said, you know,
• 54:51
  Speaker 9: the promo came on for Luca and the Lakers playing
• 54:54
  Speaker 9: in Dallas. I turned to her and I said, are
• 54:57
  Speaker 9: you going to be rooting for the Lakers on Wednesday,
• 54:59
  Speaker 9: and she said.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am. See.
• 55:03
  Speaker 9: They took Luca away from my team. So I said,
• 55:07
  Speaker 9: you're picking the player of the team. Yes, yes, he's
• 55:10
  Speaker 9: rooting for the Lakers.
• 55:12
  Speaker 7: I think there's a lot of Mavericks fans. Yeah, I
• 55:14
  Speaker 7: feel the same way. They're Luca fans now, yeah, yeah,
• 55:17
  Speaker 7: Luca fans. I understand it. I understand it. All right.
• 55:21
  Speaker 9: We'll have more coming up when we continue on thirteen
• 55:22
  Speaker 9: under the Zone.
• 55:26
  Speaker 12: We're back. It's The Craig Way Show with Hall of
• 55:29
  Speaker 12: Vame broadcaster and voice of the Texas Longheards Craig Way.
• 55:44
  Speaker 9: No surprise obviously after winning the national championship. University of
• 55:50
  Speaker 9: Connecticut the Yukon women number one in the final AP
• 55:54
  Speaker 9: poll after winning the school's twelfth national championship, and they
• 56:02
  Speaker 9: got all thirty one votes they should from the national
• 56:08
  Speaker 9: media panel and beat South Carolina eighty two to fifty nine.
• 56:11
  Speaker 9: It was bowling them out of the gang. Cook started
• 56:12
  Speaker 9: number one, they were the unanimous second choice. A record
• 56:18
  Speaker 9: five teams held the number one spot in the AP
• 56:23
  Speaker 9: poll this year. South Carolina, u CLA, Notre Dame in
• 56:27
  Speaker 9: Texas also all were first at some point this season,
• 56:31
  Speaker 9: UCLA finished third in the poll.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: The Longhorns finished fourth.
• 56:35
  Speaker 9: So that's that's where they finished there somebody, And I'm
• 56:41
  Speaker 9: hoping and I have to believe, I say, I have to,
• 56:46
  Speaker 9: don't have to. But one would think, but this way,
• 56:52
  Speaker 9: one would think that whoever posted this on on our
• 57:02
  Speaker 9: text line on the text page was uh, I would
• 57:08
  Speaker 9: say tongue in cheek or kidding about it. Let me
• 57:12
  Speaker 9: let me put it that way, either tongue in cheek
• 57:16
  Speaker 9: or kidding.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: And and I'm pulling up the uh. Well, I was
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: pulling up the text line here, so the one about
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: the Rangers broadcast.
• 57:26
  Speaker 9: No, but I'm glad you brought that up because that
• 57:30
  Speaker 9: makes sense as well.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: Read that. Read that while I.
• 57:34
  Speaker 7: Pull up so precursor. You know Texas Rangers now play
• 57:37
  Speaker 7: on the Victory Sports Network, the same streaming service that
• 57:40
  Speaker 7: airs the Dallas Stars. It's completely different on streaming. It's
• 57:43
  Speaker 7: no longer Valley. So the message on the on the
• 57:46
  Speaker 7: text line, which is by the way eight five three
• 57:48
  Speaker 7: zero text to where Texas followed by your message was
• 57:52
  Speaker 7: I know y'all have been traveling, so not sure if
• 57:54
  Speaker 7: any of y'all have gotten the chance to check out
• 57:56
  Speaker 7: the new Ranger Sports Network Victory Plus, but it is
• 58:00
  Speaker 7: miles better than the Brow Valleys broadcast from last year.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: Plus.
• 58:03
  Speaker 7: How about the pitching from the Rangers for the start
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: of the season. Okay, two separate things first, and let
• 58:08
  Speaker 7: me take the second part. First, Rangers pitching is much
• 58:10
  Speaker 7: better at the start of the year anyway.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: It's it's been huge, Craig.
• 58:13
  Speaker 7: I mean four game win streaks seven and seven and
• 58:16
  Speaker 7: two atop the Al West, but have a negative run differential.
• 58:20
  Speaker 7: And it's because the pitching has pitched so well. I mean,
• 58:22
  Speaker 7: Kumar Rocker yesterday's six innings he gave up just one run,
• 58:27
  Speaker 7: was fantastic. Jack Lyder has been a revelation. I mean,
• 58:31
  Speaker 7: there was a lot of worries I think in the
• 58:34
  Speaker 7: organization that Rocker and Lighter were never gonna make it
• 58:37
  Speaker 7: to the big leagues, and so far Rockers first start
• 58:40
  Speaker 7: was tough, seconds start much better.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Lighter has been phenomenal.
• 58:44
  Speaker 7: To Gram who hasn't pitched in like two years, is
• 58:46
  Speaker 7: showing some signs of life. Tyler Molly, who had an
• 58:50
  Speaker 7: awful start, supposed to be kind of just he's kind
• 58:52
  Speaker 7: of filling in with all the injuries. With John Gray
• 58:56
  Speaker 7: out for a little bit. He was fantastic against Tampa Bay.
• 58:59
  Speaker 7: The bullpen has been incredible. It's just just the bats.
• 59:02
  Speaker 7: And I think if you could have okay, would you
• 59:05
  Speaker 7: rather have a good pitching to start but your bat's
• 59:07
  Speaker 7: slow or vice versa, I think you would rather have okay.
• 59:10
  Speaker 7: The bats haven't heated up yet. At least our pitching
• 59:12
  Speaker 7: has been good. And that's the case for the Rangers.
• 59:15
  Speaker 7: So we're hoping that, you know, Seeger and Simeon and
• 59:18
  Speaker 7: Garcia and those guys can you know, kind of wake
• 59:21
  Speaker 7: up because they have not been hitting to their potential.
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: But the pitching I think has been what all Rangers
• 59:26
  Speaker 7: fans were hoping for going into the season thus far.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so okay.
• 59:29
  Speaker 9: Now about the new Ranger Sports Network, I don't want
• 59:33
  Speaker 9: to burst anybody's bubble or make them make them feel
• 59:37
  Speaker 9: kind of silly about some When you say it's miles
• 59:38
  Speaker 9: better than the Ballet's broadcast from last year, take it
• 59:42
  Speaker 9: from me because I know the people and the principal
• 59:44
  Speaker 9: as well. It's exactly the same people. Here's the difference.
• 59:48
  Speaker 9: Here's the difference. It's when they took it in a
• 59:53
  Speaker 9: house because of the bankruptcy by that was declared by
• 59:58
  Speaker 9: the Sinclair Group. Out there were the Diamond Sports Network Group.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 9: What they did was to hire away all of the
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 9: key personnel when the Rangers stepped away from it to
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 9: go with a Victory group, they hired all of the
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 9: key personnel away who had produced their telecast over the
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 9: past several years. You mentioned Bali's last year was actually
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 9: Fan Duel Sports, but the year before that Ballets and
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 9: then before that Fox Sports Southwest.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: Same people.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 9: It's the exact same Patrick Macdrofsky as their executive producer.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 9: Patrick mcdrowski, a good friend of mine is the was
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 9: our executive producer for all our high school Scoreboard live
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 9: shows and several of the high school football state championship
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 9: games as well. What they did and what was really
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 9: smart to the Texas point was and what's making it
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 9: miles better. They took the key personnel who were involved
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 9: in the production, and then there's the financial stability piece
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 9: doing it the way they're doing just like the I
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 9: don't know if you've seen the Mavericks telecast through the
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 9: tech the group, same type deal or it's looked really
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 9: really good. I have all of those sports packages subscriptions
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 9: like I have the NBA League Pass, the NHL Center
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 9: Ice Package, MLB Extra Innings.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: Else Am I going to watch the Dodgers regularly?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: So MLB Extra Innings, I have all three of those
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 9: network regional Sports Network packages, so I've had a chance
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 9: to watch it and to see the Rangers, and yes,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 9: Miles better in some areas, but a lot of it
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 9: it's the exact same people. They just I think what
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 9: they did was they just kind of perhaps divested themselves
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 9: of some of the extraneous personnel who probably didn't contribute
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 9: as much to the telecast, but the key personnel, production
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 9: people who are doing it, it's the same people. And
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 9: that's good because there were some really good people who
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 9: were kind of really caught in the middle of that
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 9: of that whole deal when Diamond Sports Group declared bankruptcy
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 9: and as a result of that, Major League teams like
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 9: the Diamondbacks, the Guardians, the Guardians, the Padres, the Rockies,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 9: the Mariners, and the Rangers, a lot of those were
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 9: kind of left to their own devices. Either finished out
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 9: the deal, and the Rangers were able to finish out
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 9: their deal with Diamond Sports Crews because they cut them
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 9: a check. They cut them a fifty million dollar check
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 9: to be able to get through the rest of the season,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 9: and so they did. But they'd already made their mind up,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 9: just as the Mavericks had, that they were going to
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 9: go a different direction. But teams like the Diamondbacks and
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 9: the Padres, they went completely.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: Outside of that.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 9: Contracted with MLB and MLB Network to produce their telecast.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 9: So if you watch, if you have an MLB Extra
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 9: Innings package, or if you watch it in a sports
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 9: bar and you watch a Diamondbacks telecast or a Podres telecast,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 9: it will look remarkably like the MLB Network telecasts, same graphics,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 9: a lot of that same So now they're still using
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 9: their contracted announcers, don Orsilo who does the Padres games
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 9: with I believe it's with Mark Grant. So they do
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 9: their telecast Steve Berthume, remember him from ESPN Days. He
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 9: does the Diamondbacks those games, all of those games, Bob.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: Brindley working with him.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 9: They are their announced team, but it's produced by a
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 9: group that contracts in through MLB Network. That's not the
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 9: same with the Rangers. The Rangers kept a lot of
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 9: the same production elements in place. They just went financially
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 9: a different route, and so it looks good.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 7: Similar to like Longhoor Network and SEC Network Plus. It's
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 7: the same graphics package, but different people behind the scenes.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 7: If you watch it, you know, it might look pretty
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 7: much the same, except for the Longhoor Network no logo
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 7: has been replaced by the SEC Network logo. Oh this, Craig,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 7: if you subscribe to the Texas Rangers on Victory Plus
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 7: to their their season right now, because it was like
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 7: it was like an early season deal. But if you
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 7: pay the one forty you get two free tickets to
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 7: a game. That's a great marketing campaign. I didn't issue
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 7: that for every team, for every team, especially for a
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 7: baseball team, right because you have so many games or
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 7: so many empty seats. That's a really cool way to
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 7: get people who live out of the market to come
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 7: visit to your ballpark.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: I agree, Yeah, that's a that's that's a nice thing.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: I might do that, you know. Now. Of course it
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: says subject to availability, So I wonder if that would
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: include Dodgers maybe, Craig, we we buy this package and
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: we go up and watch the Tani pitch, and you
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: better hurry. It's happening in two weeks. Two weeks.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I won't be able to We won't be able
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 9: to get up for that one. Because weekend series in Arkansas, right, No,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 9: I think that's the Auburn series here that that weekend.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 9: I think it's right around that time. So I don't
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 9: think I'll be able to make that.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 9: That does not, however, mean that I won't get to
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 9: see them in action at some point this season.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: But then I were talking about that is we need
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: to see them again.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 9: I've watched him at least once every season for the
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 9: past ever. Bill Schoening like had this record. I think
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 9: he had it broken during the pandemic or something. He
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 9: didn't see him during the pandemic the shortened season, but
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 9: he had seen the Phillies, his beloved team, every year
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 9: at least one time, going back to like nineteen sixty
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 9: five or something, every year seeing at least one Phillies game,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 9: and then I think it got broken during the twenty
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 9: twenty season, the shortened season, the pandemic here, which is
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 9: ironic because I saw the Dodgers twice during that time
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 9: in the playoffs in Arlington when they were playing, you know,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 9: in the bubble if you will, saw him against the
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 9: Braves and he had LCS and then of course Game
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 9: one of the World Series against Tampa Bay, so it

  Speaker 11: Conference standings. So here we are, iur number three in
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 11: the program here on thirteen under the Zone. Cameron Parker,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 11: the producer, did an ounstanding gentleman putting that montage together,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 11: which included Texas saftball year and also baseball over the weekend,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 11: David Salzman was on the call for the Friday night
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 11: five to one Long Horn victory. Cam him self called
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 11: the Saturday come from behind from down four to nothing
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 11: to beating Georgia seven to four win, and then of
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 11: course I was on the call yesterday. All three of
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 11: us worked with Mike Cardball Harge over the weekend. Thanks
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 11: to Mike for his his work throughout the course of
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 11: the weekend. And then Texas Softball Andrew Haynes up in Columbia, Missouri.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 11: Teagan Cavan a no hitter on.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 9: In the first game of the series and then came
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 9: back did Degan got the save in Game two for
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 9: Sidealelei Gudieras and then forty five minutes later through one
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 9: hundred and thirty pitches and got the win in eight
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 9: innings in game three, and both the saltball and baseball
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 9: teams needed extra innings one extra inning a piece to
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 9: win and sweep out the series. For softball, of course,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 9: they normally play seven, so it was an eight inning
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 9: win over Missouri, winning three to one in the second
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 9: game after they won the first game yesterday for three,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 9: and then for baseball having to go ten innings, but
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 9: the Ryland Galvon home run over the right field wall
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 9: in Texas getting the win four to three and ten innings,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 9: and now the long Wards are twenty six and four
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 9: and they are eleven and one in SEC play, tied
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 9: with Arkansas on top of the SEC standings. In case
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 9: you're wondering if it's on your schedule for down the road,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 9: Texas does play at Arkansas. You know, the long Worns
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 9: don't play every team in the SEC because none of
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 9: the teams in the SEC, all of the teams you
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 9: don't do. You play ten conference series, and you have
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 9: sixteen baseball playing institution, so you can't play fifteen conference series.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 9: There's not enough games in the schedule to allow for
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 9: that practically and still play a representative non conference schedule.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 9: So you play ten conference series and then you get
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 9: to the SEC Tournament. I've had people ask me about
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 9: the SEC Tournament what the format is after seeing, you know,
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 9: with the double elimination, the weird double bracketing thing, and
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 9: the way they did it in the Big Twelve. Here's
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 9: the irony. The SEC Tournament and the Big twelve Tournament
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 9: are the same format this year, but it's not the
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 9: format that Texas was in last year. Here's the format
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 9: in the SEC Tournament. All you have to do is
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 9: think of the SEC Basketball Tournament.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: That's all you have to think of. It'single elimination.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 9: However, if you finish in the top eight, you get
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 9: a buy the first day. If you finish in the
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 9: top four, you get a double buy. So the Longhorns
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 9: would not play until Thursday. If the regular season ended today,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 9: they'd get a double buy and would not play until Thursday.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: But it's all single elimination.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 9: The first day there in late May on Tuesday, with
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 9: the tournament is the nine seed versus the sixteen seed,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 9: and the ten seed versus the fifteen, the eleven versus
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 9: the fourteen, then twelve versus the thirteen, and then the
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 9: winners of those games go up against the five, six, seven,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 9: and eight seeds who receive a one day by a
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 9: single buy the second game, and then the top four
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 9: seeds get into play on the thurday.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: But that's on down the road.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 9: That's not for another month, another six weeks to be
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 9: exact act. But as I started to say, for those
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 9: of you who have it and wondering on your calendar,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 9: Texas does play Arkansas.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: They don't.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 9: They don't play every team in the SEC this season,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 9: they don't play. Among the teams that they do not play,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 9: they don't play Tennessee, They do not play Alabama. They
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 9: don't play South Carolina. That's one of the bottom feeders there,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 9: but they don't. They don't play them, but they do
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 9: not play. Tell you the other ones that they don't play. Okay,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 9: they don't play Tennessee. As I mentioned, they don't play
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 9: Ole Miss, they don't play Alabama, they don't play Vanderbilt,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 9: and they don't play South Carolina. Those are the five
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 9: teams they do not play. Still to come on the
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 9: schedull for Texas the weekend series at Kentucky this weekend.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 9: Then they will be playing Auburn. They will be playing
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 9: Texas A and M at home. They will go to Arkansas.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 9: The first weekend in May, and it's a Thursday Friday
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 9: Saturday series. The teams will rotate on whether they play
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 9: Friday through Sunday or Thursday through Saturday to allow for
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 9: the national telecast be it a SEC networker on ESPNU
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 9: or ESPN or ESPN two. So they go to Arkansas
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 9: first weekend in May, and that will be a big
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 9: series coming up, obviously, but there's there's certainly games that
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 9: will take place prior to them that will also carry
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 9: a lot of weight. Like I said, this weekend, Texas
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 9: will play at Kentucky and then after they play at Kentucky,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 9: they'll have a midwek game against ut Rio Grand Valley
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 9: the next week. Then they'll host Auburn and that will
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 9: be a Thursday, Friday Saturday weekend series. April seventeen, eighteen nineteen,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 9: when Auburn comes to down In. Auburn is ranked number
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 9: eleven in the country and they're having a very good season.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 9: Then the long Runs we have their only mid week
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 9: non conference game. They'll go back to San Marcus to
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 9: play Texas State, and of course they lost to the
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 9: Bobcats at home last Tuesday, but they'll play them at
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 9: bobcat Ballpark on April twenty second. Then Texas A and
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 9: M comes to town on a Friday Saturday Sunday weekend
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 9: series at UFCU just Fault Field.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: That will be that weekend.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 9: And I think that's also the fan appreciation weekend for
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 9: long run football as well as they conclude their spring practices. Then,
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 9: as I mentioned that first weekend in May, Texas will
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 9: have a Thursday Friday Saturday weekend.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: Let me make sure of this. I said that was
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: a Thursday Friday. I could be wrong about that.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 9: I'm looking at the SEC schedule here, but I thought
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 9: for sure, but I'm not seeing that now. I'm looking
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 9: at this Saturday Sunday. I stand corrected. That's a Friday
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 9: Saturday Sunday. The Arkansas one, the Auburn one is Thursday
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 9: through Saturday. And of course they conclude the regular season
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 9: like everybody does, with a Thursday through Saturday, and that
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 9: will be at Oklahoma in between time. Their final home
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 9: weekend series second weekend in May will be Florida at
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 9: home against Texas or Texas at home against Florida, and
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 9: that will be a Friday Saturday Sunday weekend series. So
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 9: there you are with it all right. Coming up next,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 9: we've got some other topics we'll get to. We get
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 9: to the college basketball again. The national championship is tonight.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 9: There's a couple other notes to get to as well
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 9: as we continue here on this Monday after on thirteen under.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 12: The zone, back to the Craig Way shot. Connect with
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 12: Craig through the text line by texting Texas to eight
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 12: one five three zero, followed by your message. Standard message
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 12: and data rates may apply.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 9: Text of the day goes to the person who just
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 9: texted a few minutes ago said hey, guys.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: Welcome back. Been a while, just so you know.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 9: They now use a net hanging from a rim in
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 9: basketball and the goldposter all the way at the back
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 9: of the end zone.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: Also, OJ is dead and been gone that long.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 9: Great sex, Yeah it is, and I did when and
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 9: thanks to andrews himI who was filling in while it
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 9: was out. But I was able to hop on with him,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 9: I think every day except one when we were in
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 9: the air at the time, flying afterwards, so I was
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 9: able to check in and be on and kind of
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 9: set the scene from some of the places there. But
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 9: thanks to Andrew for filling in a while out all right.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 9: I mentioned the college basketball National Championship game tonight, and
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 9: then after that we're gonna see, because it's already been
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 9: active underway the portal, We're gonna see where some of
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 9: these guys wind up. Darien Williams from Texas Tech has
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 9: entered the portal. Robert Wright, the freshman guard from Baylor,
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 9: has entered the portal. The long runs have all so,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 9: you know, made some noise not just through the portal
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 9: can but also bringing back some guys, getting Tremon Mark back,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 9: getting Jordan Pope back, I mean, getting some guys back
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 9: will help Sean Miller and trying to build his first
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 9: edition of Long Worn Basketball.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it certainly helps to get be able to get
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 7: Jordan Pope and Tremont and back, you know, prevents Texas
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 7: from basically completely real but rebuilding.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: The roster from scratch. Nick Cody, Nick Cody has return.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 7: There's still a few other guys that we haven't heard about,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 7: you know, such as like Jamie fince In, the young
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 7: freshman who definitely as a very you know, raw, but
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 7: as a certainly high ceiling and exciting ceiling. Devon Pryor
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 7: of course obviously now going to Oregon. That hurts to
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 7: see him go. And I think the biggest win so
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 7: far as Kenda Weaver returning. We did not get to
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 7: see Kendall play too much this season. He missed pretty
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 7: much all of conference play dealing with that hip injury.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 7: When he did come back, I thought Texas was a
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 7: completely different basketball team, and we saw them win two
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 7: games in the SEC Tournament, beating Vanderbilt and A and M.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 7: He was a big reason why they won those games.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 7: So big for Sean Miller to bring him back. But
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, the first year Craig obviously will
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 7: be a transition year for Texas so far. The two
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 7: kids he's gotten now the portal, one from FAU, one
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 7: from Purdue.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: I got to learn another pronouncer names. First off, that'll
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: be step one.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 7: But outside of that, you know, they look like developmental projects.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 7: But you know it's going to be a transition year
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 7: again for Sean Miller and just kind of you know,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 7: getting used to Texas. And the big thing I think
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 7: is trying to find guys in the portal who can
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 7: match the physicality in the toughness of the SEC. I
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 7: think that's the one thing the previous staff wished it
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 7: a little bit better. Was addressed the physicality in the portal,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 7: because as you know, in the SEC, it's a very
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 7: physical league. It's the reason why Florida and Auburn are
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 7: are playing the national championship because they were able to
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 7: be the most physical team pretty much every game, night
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 7: in and night out during conference player.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, they were both and Auburn was the number one
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 9: overall SEA Now they ended up going out in the
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 9: summer final round in Florida, but making the final floid
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 9: to day, How are you feeling about the Texas A
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 9: and M.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: Hire a Bucky McMillan.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 9: Interesting, he's being introduced by the way to Aggie Faithful
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 9: even as we speak right now in an event going
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 9: on at Rite Arena.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 7: So this is the So they've hired two new basketball coaches,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 7: men's and women's with in the past two years three years.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 7: The previous coach for women's basketball came from Georgia and
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 7: then this one from Sandford who you know, Birmingham, Alabama.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: We were just there.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 7: Did not reach the sweet sixteen at any point, I
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 7: believe it was ninety ninety something in sixty two. Record
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 7: during his time at Stanford. I don't know, Greg, this is.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 9: A two regular season Southern Conference championships and one tournament title.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 7: This was probably a really bad year to make a
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 7: coaching change, right, And I think that's you know, with
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 7: Texas obviously, the whole discussion throughout the year, what was like,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 7: who are you gonna hire? Like I don't want? If
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 7: you're like a potential candidates. If Jay Wright is on
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 7: that list, then it tells you what kind of year
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 7: it was because a lot of the guys that we
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 7: heard for some of these names were guys who were
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 7: retired or a little bit older who weren't going to
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 7: come back because there wasn't a lot of up and
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 7: coming young coaches. You got the Drake coach right who
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 7: was hired by Iowa, but outside of that, there wasn't
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 7: a lot of like no brainer names that we were
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 7: thinking of. I mean, that's why it took a little
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 7: bit for Indiana to make their moves. So for A
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 7: and M a real tough, real tough coaching cycle to
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 7: lose your head coach.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: But you'll not surprise me.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 7: We heard murmers when we were in College station about
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 7: Buzz Williams and his staff kind of looking elsewhere and
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 7: of course he did spend some time at Maryland, but
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 7: I don't know. I think if you're an A and
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 7: M fan, you're not too thrilled with this. Higher of course,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 7: you know, time will tell, but again, just a real
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 7: tough cycle to be making a head coaching change and
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 7: looking for a new head coach.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 9: Is a three times Southern Conference Coach of the Year
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 9: twenty two, twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four, ninety
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 9: nine and fifty two. He's had twenty plus wins at
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 9: each of the past four seasons.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: So that's where it is.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 9: He's being introduced right now in College station at an
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 9: event at Reed Arena.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: What I started to get to earlier in.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 9: When I mentioned on the text line and you mentioned
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 9: about the Ranger Sports Network and we got into talking
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 9: about that was a text that this morning went to
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 9: the morning kickoff group. It went to Mike Hardballharge and
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 9: Mark Henry. Now again, I'm guessing, I'm really and truly
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 9: hoping that this was done tongue in cheek, and I
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 9: think it was, because if it wasn't, it it's so
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 9: out of reality.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: You never know, Craig, I know, I know, but it said.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 9: Texas Longhorne women's basketball will spend the next six months
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 9: catching hell from fans and media after what happened last Friday.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 9: The national sports media were right about Texas. The negative
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 9: opinions and criticism are all rightfully justified. All this because
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 9: they lost on their sports biggest stage. Will happen again
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 9: next season? Who's left to believe in?
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: Now? That sounds tongue and cheek to me. I hope so,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: because that's a really stupid tech.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 9: First of all, there wasn't a lot of negative opinions
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 9: from national sports media and criticism. It was largely praised
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 9: for what Vic Schaffer has done in his five seasons
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 9: in getting them finally to the Final four and getting
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 9: them over the top. So, you know, hopefully, hopefully that
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 9: was the case. Gonna catch any hell from fans and
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 9: media for what they've done in the five seasons under
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 9: Vick Shaeffer, and I think he's only gonna build from there,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 9: all right.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: Stay with us up next?
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 9: What could other teams and or the Mavericks have gotten
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 9: in a Luca Dodget straight. We'll get to that coming
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 9: up here. I'm thirteen hunder the zone.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: And we continue on a Monday afternoon. Here, I have
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: a little short in my headphones there for a moment.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 9: That's why I did the stop start again, all right
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 9: back here on the program. Right, this is this is
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 9: a topic I've been waiting, just waiting to get into
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 9: with you, Cam with your knowledge, your fandom, and your
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 9: heavy duty interest in the NBA. So I've been wanting
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 9: to talk about this for a little bit of time,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 9: and now there's even a pulse trigger this morning on
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 9: something that just kind of adds to it. All Right,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 9: we've talked a little more than a little bit, but
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 9: we've talked a bit about the whole Luca trade to
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 9: the Lakers, and then the cause and effect and everything
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 9: and what's happened with the Mavericks and what's happened with
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 9: the Lakers and all this. But it's all being spiked
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 9: back up again because the two teams are playing on
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 9: Wednesday in Dallas. It's going to be Luca's first game
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 9: back as a Laker, playing at the American Airline Center.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 9: So I was going to get your thoughts on that,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 9: and there's been Mark Cuban had a tweet over the
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 9: weekend about how the trade for Luca really came about
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 9: in some fact because of the failure to understand by
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 9: Maverick's management the Slovenian way of life and culture and
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 9: things like that, which which on one hand seems like
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 9: kind of a reach, But on the other hand, when
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 9: he read further deep into it, you saw what he
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 9: was trying to talk about, trying to get to understand
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 9: Luke a little bit better.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: Now there's gonna be a lot of hard edge people,
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: and said that doesn't matter. I mean, he's a commodity.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 9: He's the NBA if you can get something form of
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 9: the problem most folks have is that the Mavericks apparently
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 9: had been fleeced in this deal, although Anthony Davis has
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 9: looked pretty good when he's been back. But I planned
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 9: on discussing it this week as Luca prepared to return
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 9: to Dallas and Bobby Mars former NBA GM in fact
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 9: that he Orton worked with him, our friend and colleague
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 9: on our long run radio broadcast he'd worked with Bobby.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 9: Bobby for ESPN dot Com wrote a piece that's in
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 9: to what twenty eight other NBA teams could have traded
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 9: for Luka Doncic Now I know this is, you know,
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 9: horses out of the barn before you shut the gate.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 9: But he started off by saying, what if the Dallas
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 9: Mavericks had made Luka Doncics available to.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: All twenty nine other teams?
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 9: He said, it's a question the team executives across the
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 9: league pondered in the early hours of February second, when
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 9: the NBA world was still coming to grips with the
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 9: blockbuster that sent Doncich to the Lakers and.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: Anthony Davis to Dallas.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 9: The Lakers were the only team that the Mavericks General
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 9: manager Nico Harrison spoke to about a deal. He said,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 9: to answer that question, we examined the teams that didn't
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 9: land Doncic and put together the framework of twenty eight
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 9: separate and hypothetical trades for the five time All NBA guard,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 9: plus what else General manager Rob Pelinka and the Lakers
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 9: could have offered, and he says they're multiple caveats to
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 9: the exercise. The trade dialogue was complex. Bill on confidentiality,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 9: Genie bust, the Lakers owner, said, if it had leaked
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 9: out and the trade end happened, that would really be
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 9: unfair to the progress that the coaching staff had made
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 9: with the team because it's a huge distraction. Okay, second
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 9: caveat infricacies of the salary cap and the apron rules
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 9: that explain to folks the apron rules.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's a little bit tough. So there's basically there's
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 7: a salary cap, right yep. But to prevent teams from
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 7: going into the going past the salary cap and spend
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 7: a lot of money like the Lakers do or seventy
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 7: six ers whatever, there is a first apron in the
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 7: second apron that basically will penalize the team and the
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 7: owners for being a certain amount of money over the
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 7: salary cap, and there's certain punishments. So the first apron
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 7: is bad, the second aprons really bad. Basically, if you're
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 7: the second apron, there's certain things you can't do, like
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 7: you can't trade for certain players, you can't sign certain players.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 7: So basically it's all set up to penalized, penalized teams
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 7: from being heavy spenders, because't you know in baseball, like
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 7: your Dodgers, you know that basically buy anything they want NBA, but.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 9: They pay the luxury tax on that, which is the
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 9: basics to have a first apron or a second apron.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 9: That's kind of luck. In golf, you know, the apron
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 9: off the green. You know, you're not on the green,
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 9: so you're kind of in the apron.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: Is that?
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 6: Is that?
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: What is that? What's meant by that? I don't know anyway.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 9: All Right, So they had that the Mavericks were five
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 9: hundred and twenty six million below the first apron, and
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 9: they needed Anthony Davis to waive his five point one
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 9: million dollar trade bonus. So and then finally he said,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 9: they said, we took into considerations of Dogis, who could
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 9: become a free agent in the summer twenty twenty six,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 9: might not sign an extension.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: With his new team.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 9: So the hypothetical trade packages for some of the rebuilding
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 9: teams are watered down. Okay, so anyway to recap the
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 9: Lakers sent Anthony Davis Max Christie twenty twenty nine unprotected
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 9: first round pick. They say what they could have offered
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 9: was Anthony Davis, Austin Reeves, a twenty twenty nine unprotected
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 9: first round pick, a twenty thirty first round swap, and
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 9: a twenty thirty one unprotected first round pick. That's where
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 9: they're pointing to the fleecing that the Mavericks had done
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 9: to them and the inexperience that Nico Harrison and his
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 9: and his team did that. They could have asked for
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 9: much more and did not do it. So even Mark
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 9: Cuban said the team should have gotten more from the Lakers.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 9: Okay best offers for Dallas Sela the strike It Cavaliers
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 9: could have offered Darius Garland, Jared Allen former long one
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 9: and a twenty thirty one unprotected first round pick. I
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 9: already liked that deal better than the one that they
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 9: do with the Lakers. I think every deal in this
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 9: article will be locked under the one. Mavericks timber Las Okay.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 9: Rockets could have offered Dylan Brooks, Reed Shepherd, Jabari Smith
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 9: kay but two unprotected first round picks. Twenty twenty five
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 9: this draft thea Phoenix in twenty twenty seven the Phoenix,
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 9: So the draft picks make that worthwhile swaps of all
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 9: star guards. Hawks could have offered Trey Young and is
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 9: it pronouncer Yekung Gongku Yeah okay and and twenty twenty
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 9: five unprotected first round pick via the Lakers twenty twenty
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 9: nine unprotected first round pick. Hornets could have offered LaMelo
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 9: Ball Mark Williams Okay, but twenty twenty seven first round
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 9: pick twenty twenty seven top fourteen protected first round pick.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 9: Clippers could offer James Harden, Terrence Mann twenty thirty first
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 9: round pick swap twenty thirty one unprotected first round pick.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 9: Pistons could have offered Obias Harris and Auscer Thompson, Ron
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 9: Holland and two unprotected picks in twenty seven and twenty nine.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 9: Warriors could offer Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Minga, Brandon Pozemski, Gary
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 9: pateon the second and four picks, two unprotected first and
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 9: two first round picks if one through twenty. Anyway, it
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 9: goes on to a Miles Turner, Obi Topping, Aaron Neestmuth,
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 9: then a Dyck mc thurno with the Pacers really have
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 9: offered all of that plus two unprotected first round picks
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 9: if they were then, and that's that makes the Mavericks
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 9: deal look even worse. Anyway, it goes on and on Sixers,
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 9: Paul George, Jared McLain, four first round picks, three unprotected,
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 9: one protected, Heat bam Adebayou Heywood, Heismith, I Mean Hot Kaz,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 9: two unprotected first round picks, Nicks, Karl Anthony Townsend, one
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 9: unprotected pick in this year's drafted. So I guess the
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 9: bottom line is, as Luca prepares to come back to Dallas,
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 9: you're feeling the old wounds all over again, saying and
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 9: Bobby Marx is saying, the research they did reveals to
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 9: them the Mavericks, what we already knew, could have gotten
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 9: a lot more from what from the Lakers than what
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 9: they got.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 7: You're just rubbing dirt into the mavericks fans wounds right now.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 7: They're listening to this just in absolute tears, right all right.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 9: I just I wanted to talk to you about this,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 9: and then when this article came out in this Sport,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 9: I was like, oh, I got it. Yeah, we got
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 9: to dump into this, and you're right. Basically, what it
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 9: comes down to is, no matter who they could have
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 9: made a deal with, the Mavericks could have made out
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 9: better than what they did. Instead, they get ready to
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 9: face Luca and the Lakers on Wednesday night having what
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 9: they have. All right, We'll be back to wrap up
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 9: today's program on thirteen under the Zone
