  Speaker 1: We welcome you to the program here on a Wednesday afternoon.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: You know, Wednesdays are yacht rock Wednesdays here on the Zone.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: But we don't put him in its front in there
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: because I'd be kind of hard pressed to find a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: song from the Who that would comfortably fit into the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: yacht rock genre. I'd really have to go through the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: catalog in my mind to figure it figured out. But
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we got plenty of other ones obviously, So it is
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a yacht rock Wednesday here on the program. My name
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: is Craig Way, thanks so much for joining us. The
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: producer that you just heard from there is Cameron D. Parker.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: The D on the Birth certificates Tans for Dallas, named
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: after his favorite NFL team that he refuses to watch
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: because of their well, let's just say, disillusioned state of affairs.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: So maybe the D should be done, as in, done
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: with all the political ads. No remember, no matter who
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you were voting for or what you were voting for,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: We're done with political ads, right, I hope? So I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: thank god we are. It's like moves forward, it does
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: go on. Hey, let me tell you what we do
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: have coming up in a few minutes. Sean Kelly is
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the play by play voice of the Florida Gators. Good dude,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you've probably heard him, not just doing Florida if you've
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: heard Florida, but for years a lot of ESPN. Also
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: did the New Orleans Hornets, and I think might have
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: went with the team up to Oklahoma City when they
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: went up there to play after Katrina, I think, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: then came back to New Orleans. He had done tou Lane.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: He's a New Orleans got, but he's been the voice
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of Florida Gators past a few years. So it would
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: be good to visit with Sean to take a look
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: at this Florida Gators team that Texas is preparing for.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Texas, today was an SEC teleconference day, so
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: long Worn's head coach Steve Sarkisian took part in the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: SEC conference call the teleconference, and we'll get his thoughts
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: on the Gators. So we have that. We do have
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: receivable this hour, which includes a couple of fast food updates,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and we'll have that.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: We will hear from sark in the three o'clock hour,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in the four o'clock hour of the program this afternoon.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So we've got a lot to get to on the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on the show. All right, so you I believe you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: told me you had a congregational responsibility last night, So
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you don't, I don't know. You didn't watch any maction,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: did you? You didn't watch the what was it Miami
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of Ohio ball state game? Was it?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I did not our our travel schedule I think caught
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: up to me last night. Yeah, so I did, of
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: course watch the College Football Playoff rankings.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And that was about it last night.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Well, there's plenty to discuss with that, obviously, we'll we'll
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: have the breakdown on some of that. But the initial
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: how about your initial thoughts on on the the first
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: reveal of the CFP?
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: My initial thoughts is why are there so many articles
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: coming out saying what the committee got wrong? Or college
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Football Playoff Anger Index? Like BYU should be outraged? Like
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: that was an athletic post that I saw last night
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: after it was unfield like it's they're the four seed
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: outraged at what? Like it's it's it's the first unfeeling
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: of the rankings. We still have five six weeks to
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: go until all this is done. It will all sort
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: itself out. I don't understand why it'll be so angry, crag.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Why can't we just be like, hey, what the committee
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: got right? Oregon's won, that's fine, Ohio Sate two? Cool,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Georgia three. Whatever. None of this matters because everything's gonna
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: be sorted out by the end of the year.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I know it's all for clicks and click bait and
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you get links of I don't know. Maybe maybe I'm
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: just not I'm in the wrong generation perhaps, But like
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: ESPN the top the first page college football Anger Index,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: why essentially everyone not in the big ten should be upset. No,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not upset. I'm okay with Texas being five. It's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: totally fine. Everything is fine.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Please do me a favor. Never say you're of the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: wrong generation, my friend, you're not old enough to have
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: been from a past generation. You're in the current generation. Okay.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I think I would have enjoyed the actual reporting and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: journalism parts of the society that no longer exists, because
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: they're imagine reading College Football Anger Index in like nineteen
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: even nineteen ninety four, they know it's just what are
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: we doing here?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, well all right, we'll get into that. Well,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about the college football playoff rankings, Texas is
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: number five, although as was point, you asked me yesterday
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: how I thought the committee would do it, and I said,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I think they will rank them, and they did. However,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: then the ESPN guys come in and bracket it out.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not calling them out for saying,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you know, you hear Rees Davis say it. We see
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it when you see it, you don't think so put
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it this way. If that's true. They had a lot
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of stuff prepared for exactly the way it came down production,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and I know it takes time to build a production element.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I think the production I think he said before
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: that the producers all know. Oh that's right, yeah, the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: technical truth. But apparently Rhys Davis does not know.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if that's so. And I'm not saying he's not
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: being truthful. I'm just saying there's knowing and there's knowing.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I guess there's the best way to describe it. There's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: some things that you have to be aware of in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: order to do your job properly on that and I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: don't think it's that big a deal if he and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the other crew know a few hours before, a couple
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: hours to formulate. I mean, listen, you've heard people heard
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: me say before. When the UIO by any O realignment
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: comes out, I know a couple of days before it
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: comes out, because we have to record a television show
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: in advance. I'm sworn to secrecy and I protect that secret.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I don't tell anybody anything about it, but we find
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: out of it. We have to in order to properly
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: prepare for the telecast. So that's but you know, we're
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we're sworn to secrecy and we protect that secrecy very
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: very carefully. We don't nobody hears anything from us until
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: we actually, you know, until it's on the show. Anyway.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Point is, I'm not saying he's being untruthful. I'm just
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: saying there's certain elements you have to prepare for. That's all,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: all right, we need to break. When we come back,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Sean Kelly will visit with us the play by play
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: voice of the Florida Gaylor Gators. We'll get to that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and a lot more when we continue on this Wednesday
