  My name is Craig Way. Glad to have you with us,
• 0:08
  so please to have you alongside. As I always say,
• 0:13
  if for you, Wednesday means the true hump day and
• 0:17
  you get over the hump and then you're two day
• 0:19
  shy of the weekend, good for you, good on end.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that works out well on the downhill run.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: If, however, Wednesday is to you like Monday is the
• 0:33
  rest of us, or even Friday, hopefully things go well
• 0:35
  for you there and we're glad to be with you
• 0:38
  on Wednesday afternoon. We of course includes the producer of
• 0:40
  the program, Cameron Deep Parker. The D on the birth
• 0:45
  certificate stands for Dallas, as in his favorite NFL team
• 0:50
  that he says he will continue to unwatch because he
• 0:55
  feels they're unwatchable, even though we got to see him
• 0:59
  win the game the other night, tuned in and did
• 1:02
  happen to see them get the game winning touchdown pass
• 1:06
  right at the end there to Jaylen Tobert from.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Dak Prescott and.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Says that and you said what it only reinforced your
• 1:15
  desire not to watch them on TV.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: The fact that they won on the last play of
• 1:19
  the game. There's that side of the coin.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: There's also the side where they had what two three
• 1:24
  turnovers in the red zone playing a Steelers team that
• 1:27
  had Kyle Allen at quarterback. He got CD and Dak
• 1:31
  arguing on the sideline, injuries everywhere.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel pretty good about not watching.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, we'll get to some NFL
• 1:43
  football coming up. But this being Texas ou Week, we
• 1:50
  have a couple of unique ways that we are approaching
• 1:53
  and we started it obviously on Monday with long Worts
• 1:56
  Monday and we heard from long Warts head coach Steve
• 1:58
  Sarcasian Texas. Tuesday heard from Texas players. Also visited with
• 2:04
  Kle Gundhy, the one time Oklahoma Sooner's corner quarterback who
• 2:09
  now hosts a show up there in Oklahoma City.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Coming up in a few minutes, we'll visit with my
• 2:15
  counterpart on the Sooner Sports Network from lear Field. My
• 2:19
  good friend Toby Rowland will join us and we'll get
• 2:22
  his thoughts on this current Oklahoma Sooner team and what
• 2:26
  they're expecting and what they're looking for in this matchup
• 2:30
  between Texas, and so we'll get that. Then we'll have inconceivable.
• 2:39
  Part of the inconceivable today is that my laptop appears
• 2:42
  to have died out on me. I don't know, we'll see.
• 2:44
  I'm still trying to recover things on that. But we
• 2:47
  do have inconceivable a little bit later on this hour,
• 2:50
  at the top of the hour, right at the top
• 2:53
  of the hour, at three o'clock, a completely different look
• 3:00
  at this Texas OU game from the eyes of a
• 3:03
  guy who played quarterback at Texas. He played quarterback here
• 3:09
  the last time that Texas was ranked number one in
• 3:15
  the nation going into the Red River rivalry.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: That was forty years ago. It was nineteen eighty four.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: The quarterback of that Texas Logorn team was none other
• 3:24
  than Todd Dodge.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the same guy, the same.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Todd Dodge who went on to become one of the
• 3:30
  most iconic high school football coaches in the history of
• 3:34
  Texas high school football, winning seven state championships for at
• 3:38
  South Lake Carrol then three in a row at Westlake
• 3:40
  before he stepped away from the game retired health was
• 3:43
  some of it, and then got back into it this
• 3:46
  year as the coach at Lovejoy High that's in Lucas,
• 3:50
  out just east to Plano, up in the Dallas Fort
• 3:52
  Worth area, and he's trying to turn that program into
• 3:56
  a state championship caliber team. They started owing too, but
• 3:59
  they won three in a row, including getting a win
• 4:01
  over a state ranked Melissa team last Friday. I'll ask
• 4:05
  him about that, but I wanted to get the Todd's
• 4:07
  thoughts on that game forty years ago in nineteen eighty four,
• 4:12
  when Texas went into at number one, Oklahoma was number two,
• 4:16
  and in a pouring constant rain, the game ended in
• 4:20
  a fifteen to fifteen tie. It's one of the five
• 4:24
  ties all time between Texas and ou. The last one
• 4:28
  was in the last year that they allowed tie games,
• 4:31
  nineteen ninety five. That's when Texas went out to a
• 4:34
  twenty one to nothing lead and ended up settling for
• 4:36
  a twenty four to twenty four tie with the Sooners
• 4:40
  that year, nineteen ninety five. The next year was the
• 4:42
  first year that overtime was implemented, and in that first
• 4:48
  year they played overtime, Oklahoma won that game thirty to
• 4:51
  twenty seven. It was so new. Overtime was so new
• 4:54
  that when the Loghorns won the toss. We all know
• 4:58
  now that if you are going in overtime and you
• 5:00
  win the toss, what do you do cam if you
• 5:02
  win the toss going in overtime, what's your option?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: What do you do for NFL? For college? For college?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: What do you do if you're a college team and
• 5:12
  you're getting ready to go in overtime and you win
• 5:14
  the coin toss? Usually deferred right? You play defense? Yeah,
• 5:18
  because that way you know exactly what.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: You have to do.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: So if you know, if you hold them to no points,
• 5:27
  all you need is a field goal to win. If
• 5:29
  you hold them to a field goal, you know you
• 5:30
  win with a touchdown. And as they score a touchdown,
• 5:32
  it you know you absolutely have to have a touchdown,
• 5:34
  so you would go for it on fourth down. In
• 5:37
  a situation they're starting at the twenty five yard line,
• 5:39
  you always elect to play defense, unless you're Deon Sanders.
• 5:43
  Twice last year he elected to go on offense. Actually
• 5:47
  three times twice at worked and one time it didn't.
• 5:50
  But you elect to play defense. Well, it was so
• 5:54
  new in nineteen ninety six. Folks have not yet figured
• 5:57
  out the strategy. So one of the toss they like
• 6:01
  to take the ball they ended up settling for a
• 6:03
  Phil Dawson field goal. Oklahoma comes back James Allen, who
• 6:09
  had been the running back two years prior, who got
• 6:12
  stopped at the goal line by Stony Clark. And that's
• 6:15
  thirty years ago now, and to preserve Texas seventeen to
• 6:18
  ten win, James Allen scored the winning touchdown. Oklahoma won
• 6:20
  in overtime thirty to twenty seven. All Right, so we're talking,
• 6:24
  you know, ninety four, thirty years ago, ninety six, twenty
• 6:27
  eight years ago.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: But this was forty years ago, nineteen eighty four when.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Texas went into the game number one in the nation,
• 6:35
  and Todd Dodge was the quarterback of that team. So
• 6:38
  we'll get his thoughts on that. We'll keep you updated
• 6:41
  on the baseball playoffs because those are still going on.
• 6:46
  Game three of the Detroit Cleveland series is just now
• 6:53
  getting underway. Game three of the Yankees and Royals is
• 6:57
  later today. Also later is the Game four between the
• 7:02
  Mets and the Phillies. Mets with a chance to wrap
• 7:04
  it up in Philadelphia, and game or excuse me, in
• 7:07
  New York and Game four tonight Dodgers and Padres, with
• 7:11
  the Padres standing one game away from advancing to the
• 7:15
  nationalgu Championship Series after their six y five win over
• 7:17
  LA last night, So with that in mind, we'll keep
• 7:20
  you updated on those things as well.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: But up next we'll
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Visit with Toby Rowland, play by play voice of the
• 7:26
  Oklahoma sooners when we continue on sports Radio AM thirteen
