  Speaker 1: Craig Way alongside the producer Cameron Parker. Glad to have
• 0:02
  you with us as well. We're with you up until
• 0:05
  five o'clock and then we jump back into it again tomorrow.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: A reminder.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Of a couple of things I've been telling you about
• 0:16
  our Texas so you coverage. I don't often get to
• 0:21
  say this, so I'm gonna go ahead and get to
• 0:22
  say this. Pay no attention to the man in the
• 0:24
  promo who said that, the who said that the long
• 0:30
  Runs Game Day program begins two hours prior to kick.
• 0:32
  We all know it begins three hours prior to kick,
• 0:35
  so I don't get to say that very often. So anyway,
• 0:39
  it'll be at eleven thirty three hours prior to kick
• 0:44
  off on Saturday, October twelfth, this Saturday, so we hope
• 0:51
  that you'll tune into the guys for that. Also, Friday
• 0:58
  is when we'll be in Dallas for our red River
• 1:01
  preview show, coming away from Bar w It's on Maple
• 1:08
  Avenue and a great new sports bar venue there, and
• 1:14
  if you're going up for the game, there's plenty of
• 1:16
  room and all that sort of stuff. So I hope
• 1:18
  that you'll come on out and join us for bart
• 1:20
  because we're going to bring you a four hour edition
• 1:25
  of this program. But the program will not be the
• 1:27
  Craig Way Show in name or in execution, so to speak.
• 1:33
  It will be our Red River preview show and Mike
• 1:37
  Cardball Harge will join Cameron Parker and myself. So we'll
• 1:43
  bring that show to you Friday afternoon at two o'clock.
• 1:47
  It's kind of a tradition to do a game up
• 1:50
  and do a show up in Dallas the day before
• 1:52
  the Texas OU game. You're just now really getting steeped
• 1:58
  in this in all the right, I mean, you were
• 2:00
  a student. You went to the game as a student, right,
• 2:03
  How many times should you go as a student?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Twice? Twice? Which ones went to Let's see.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: See Baker Mayfield for Sam Ellinger the final one, and
• 2:16
  then Kyler for Sam the Dicker the Kicker year. So
• 2:19
  that's what twenty twenty eighteen for Dick or the kicker,
• 2:24
  eighteen for Dicker the Kicker, and then what twenty sixteen
• 2:27
  twenty yeah, twenty sixteen for yeah, right, well, no twenty
• 2:34
  six man, I'm losing my mind. You're at twenty seventeen,
• 2:37
  uh twenty. It was the last two thirty kick, So
• 2:42
  I think it was twenty seventeen.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, I thought the last two thirty kick was twenty eighteen.
• 2:47
  I thought that was the dick or the kicker year.
• 2:50
  But you're may be right. I clearly lost count time.
• 2:54
  I'm losing my mind. But I was just I mean,
• 2:56
  I'm you know, in the broadcast booth for this aim.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, seventeen eighteen, I was there as a student, and
• 3:04
  then twenty twenty three as a media person.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I started to say for me because somebody asked
• 3:14
  me today when I was on a program, how many
• 3:17
  Texas OU games is this for me? And the correct
• 3:22
  answer is.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: All of them?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, The correct answer is this will be my
• 3:36
  thirty fourth, I believe, and I'm thinking I'm madding up.
• 3:41
  I missed one as a broadcaster, as you know, and
• 3:43
  it was eight years ago today when my wife passed away, Lari,
• 3:49
  and so obviously I wasn't there that day, but I
• 3:54
  did go as a media member. The year before, I
• 3:57
  was in the broadcast booths with Bill Shoning. So I
• 3:59
  was there in nineteen ninety one as a media member
• 4:02
  when Texas won the game ten to seven of OURU
• 4:08
  I was sitting in the press box at the time
• 4:11
  working for what is now our Dallas for Worth affiliate KRLD,
• 4:15
  and I was there as a report of working there
• 4:18
  that day, and that was the one time that I
• 4:23
  was there as a media member, but not in the
• 4:28
  broadcast booth. And then of course I've been in it
• 4:31
  since ninety two, with the exception of eight years ago
• 4:34
  in twenty sixteen, so it's still coming up on number
• 4:37
  thirty four. But anyway, over those times, I think most
• 4:43
  of those years, starting well, certainly by the time I
• 4:48
  moved down here late nineties, we not only of course
• 4:52
  were up there for the games, but also for the
• 4:58
  to do a show on Friday day before the game,
• 5:01
  and there were a lot of different places that we
• 5:04
  did it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Done it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Of course to get tetolf O you golf tournament goes on.
• 5:11
  We've done it from different sports bars, from also from
• 5:17
  the broadcast booth there, and probably the most intriguing one
• 5:25
  was that we had a string of several years where
• 5:28
  we did the show from the Hofbrow in the West End,
• 5:32
  and that was when I was here at the Zone
• 5:34
  the first go around, and we did that through you know,
• 5:38
  the two thousands into the twenty teens. It was probably
• 5:41
  run of I'd say in the neighborhood of ten years
• 5:43
  where we did it, and it was fun down there
• 5:45
  in the West End because there was a lot of
• 5:46
  foot traffic and fans of both sides walking by and
• 5:49
  there's you know, all that kind of stuff.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: We had Brian Jones on last week.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: We were talking about, you know, Brian warning everybody he
• 5:57
  was going to cuss on the air and drop the
• 6:00
  F bomb about ou, and he did.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Fortunately we were able to hit the dumb button in
• 6:05
  time on that. But you know, it was an interesting dynamic.
• 6:12
  It always is for this game, because this game always
• 6:14
  means something pretty cool. Before we get to the break,
• 6:19
  we wanted to give you a chance.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Too. I'll tell you what.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: We're gonna wait on this too because I want you
• 6:27
  to bump back with with appropriate music for this.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: We're gonna give away an opportunity to win some tickets, so.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do that, but we're also going to hear
• 6:36
  from Long Horn's head coach, Steve Sarkisian, so we'll do
• 6:40
  that also on our text line. And we always offer
• 6:43
  you the opportunity to engage with us via the text line.
• 6:47
  What you do is you text the word Texas, follow
• 6:49
  by your question or comment to eight one five three zero.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: So that's the word Texas.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You type that in and then your question and comment
• 6:59
  to eight one five three zero. Standard messaging and data
• 7:02
  age may apply. When I was talking about five of
• 7:05
  the top eleven losing see pal Texas said Miami should
• 7:09
  have lost too. There was a terrible non call on
• 7:12
  targeting in that Cal Miami game with the Cal quarterback
• 7:15
  getting knocked out again. It was late late night, it
• 7:17
  was acc after dark stuff. Cal also had a thirty
• 7:20
  five to ten halftime lead, and you've got to be
• 7:22
  able to make some plays also to hold on to that.
• 7:26
  And our man CB, who always remembers the anniversary of
• 7:31
  certain games, says, thirty years ago today the Stony Clark game.
• 7:36
  Folks who know no if you know, you know, nineteen
• 7:40
  years ago today was the two thousand and five game,
• 7:42
  and two years ago today was forty nine to nothing
• 7:45
  Texas one. The Stony Clark game thirty years ago, nineteen
• 7:49
  ninety four, Stony Clark like a stone wall, tackling James
• 7:55
  Allen at the goal line to preserve a seventeen to
• 7:58
  ten victory. That was in nineteen nine four he mentioned
• 8:02
  a two thousand and five game. When people ask me
• 8:06
  what is my most satisfying Texas OU game memory, it
• 8:14
  might surprise some folks to learn that forty nine nothing
• 8:17
  is not the most satisfying. It'd probably be third, I
• 8:23
  would say, on the list most memorable for me. The
• 8:26
  second would probably be two thousand and eight, when Texas
• 8:29
  was number five and Oaklhand was number one, and he
• 8:31
  had the Jordan Shipley kickoff return in Texas had been
• 8:34
  down fourteen three and Colt McCoy was brilliant that day,
• 8:37
  and the Long Orangs come back and they beat OU
• 8:41
  forty five thirty five to win that contest and move
• 8:45
  to number one in the rankings. But the number one
• 8:48
  memory for me all time on Texas OU for me
• 8:53
  is two thousand and five. Not only was it the
• 8:56
  national championship year for the Long Warns. Remember they had
• 8:58
  lost five in a row Oklahoma, and a couple of
• 9:02
  those by really ugly margin sixty three fourteen in two thousand,
• 9:06
  sixty three twenty one in two thousand and three. Then
• 9:09
  there were the agonizing fourteen to three loss in two
• 9:14
  thousand and one and the twelve to nothing in two
• 9:16
  thousand and four.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: There was those.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Thirty five, twenty four and in two thousand and two
• 9:23
  when Texas had a fourteen to three lead in that.
• 9:26
  But two thousand and five Texas does have the breakthrough
• 9:31
  they win forty five to twelve. I can still see
• 9:34
  Rod Wright rumbling down the field to score a touchdown
• 9:38
  on that fumble return and Jamal Charles the eighty yard
• 9:42
  touchdown run. And this is where I'm going with this.
• 9:45
  Tomorrow night, we have long warn weekly with coach Sark.
• 9:48
  Now tomorrow we record the program as we do every Wednesday,
• 9:52
  and we usually do that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: From six to seven.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I would suggest, in the case of tomorrow, if you're
• 9:59
  coming out, come earlier. Don't walk in at six o'clock
• 10:02
  right there, because we may start a little bit earlier
• 10:04
  because the Texas fight rally is tomorrow night at the Tower,
• 10:09
  so we may have to start a little bit earlier.
• 10:11
  So I would say get there earlier anyway to secure
• 10:13
  a seat. So we're recording the show tomorrow, and I'm
• 10:17
  told our special guest will be none other than Jamal
• 10:21
  Charles nice and of course he had the ad r
• 10:24
  touchdown run in that so anyway, that's just something to
• 10:27
  keep in mind.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: All right, coming up.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Like I said, we've got giveaway notice to get to
• 10:34
  and we'll hear from coach Sart when we continue on
• 10:36
  sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone.
