  Speaker 1: A Red River Rivalry. That's why I said you say
• 0:04
  it slowly. Red River Rivalry week and Thursday of that week.
• 0:10
  We are just over forty eight hours from kickoff of
• 0:16
  the one hundred and twentieth edition of the Red River Rivalry.
• 0:20
  Good afternoon, everybody, Welcome to the program here on Sports
• 0:22
  RADIOAM thirteen hundred the Zone. My name is Craig Way.
• 0:25
  I do thank you very much for joining us. Please
• 0:27
  to be joined as always by the producer of this program,
• 0:30
  Cameron D. Parker. The D on the birth certificate stands
• 0:33
  for Dallas, as in his favorite pro football team that
• 0:36
  he refuses to watch, even though he has an opportunity
• 0:39
  to watch them locally this weekend. If he hung out
• 0:42
  an extra day up there in the Metroplex, he could
• 0:45
  go see the Cowboys and Lions on Sunday. He has
• 0:49
  no desire to do that. So, therefore, what does the
• 0:52
  D stand for this weekend? Or it stands for today
• 0:56
  departure day?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: That or deep fried and it'll stand for deep fry
• 1:02
  tomorrow in Saturday and Sunday it will send for Dear God,
• 1:07
  why do they eat that third corn dog and the
• 1:10
  friay orioles and the turkey.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Leg and the Pamina cheese thing.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: If I can figure out where it's at.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that might be that might be
• 1:18
  worth worthwhile doing it. We're glad to be with you here.
• 1:22
  What we're gonna do here on the program in coming
• 1:25
  up in a few minutes, we'll hear from Longgarn's head
• 1:28
  coach Steve Sarkisian from his final weekly media obligation. It's
• 1:36
  the zoom media availability that he does every Thursday, and
• 1:41
  we'll bring it to you. You'll be able to hear
• 1:44
  all the questions for him and his responses to this
• 1:47
  as he prepares to take his team north for his
• 1:50
  fourth ever Red River rivalry. So we're going to bring
• 1:55
  that to you. We do have inconceivable this hour, and
• 2:00
  there's good and there's bad with the inconceivable, as you
• 2:03
  might imagine, so we have that. Also, we're gonna hear
• 2:08
  from sark talk about something we talked at length about yesterday,
• 2:13
  State Fair Foods. And we recorded Longhorn Weekly with Coach
• 2:19
  Sark out of Pluckers the West Campus location in Austin
• 2:23
  yesterday evening. We always recorded like at six o'clock on
• 2:26
  Wednesdays and it airs at seven on Thursday, so it'll
• 2:28
  be coming your way tonight at seven o'clock. But we
• 2:31
  lifted one segment from the recording of the program to
• 2:34
  you to hear Sark and I discuss some of those
• 2:37
  State Fair foods, so we'll do that coming up. Well.
• 2:42
  Also remind you baseball playoffs still going on. The first
• 2:47
  pitch of today's action doesn't start until a little after
• 2:50
  four o'clock today, with the Cleveland Guardians trying to stay
• 2:53
  alive in Detroit against the Tigers, the sixth seed, who
• 2:57
  lead at two games to one. Cleveland in the same
• 2:59
  spot the Los Angeles Dodgers were in last night. But
• 3:02
  the Dodgers went out and beat the San Diego Padres
• 3:05
  eight to nothing. And there were two things that really
• 3:07
  stood out about that game to me. Cameron Parker won,
• 3:11
  the Dodgers got their bats going again, and the Mookie
• 3:14
  Betts is on a roll again, and guys like Gavin
• 3:16
  Lux Max Monsey, those guys are starting to hit again
• 3:19
  and that bodes well for LA. But the other thing
• 3:22
  is there was a definite roll of the dice, a
• 3:26
  calculated risk employed by both managers. Dave Roberts of Los Angeles,
• 3:32
  Mike Shilt of San Diego. For Dave Roberts, it was
• 3:37
  less a risk and more of a necessity. He went
• 3:40
  out and did what he's done a lot this year
• 3:42
  and just had a bullpen game and ran eight different
• 3:46
  relievers out there, and they did the job in shutting
• 3:50
  out the Padres. Eight different relievers kept them off balance
• 3:53
  and shut out San Diego. On the other side, Mike
• 3:56
  shild decided to go back to his ace Dylan Sees
• 3:59
  on one day's less rest, and a backfired. The Dodgers
• 4:03
  jumped on him Bets with a homer in the first,
• 4:05
  and they got two more in the second, and then
• 4:07
  two more in the third, and they just kind of
• 4:08
  opened it up from there. So it didn't work there
• 4:11
  for San Diego. But those two will play one more
• 4:14
  time tomorrow night, and the winner is gonna get the
• 4:17
  sixth seed. The New York Mets, the amazing Mets continue.
• 4:20
  They're running there. Philadelphia's done. The two seed is out.
• 4:23
  They've won both games, and Queens did the Mets and
• 4:26
  the Phillies are eliminated.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Before yesterday's games, no team had ever throwing a postseason
• 4:33
  shutout in a game in which the starter recorded only
• 4:35
  four or fewer outs Dodgers and the Tigers almost did
• 4:39
  it at the same time. And it's huge, Craig, As
• 4:42
  you will know, the Dodgers went into this the playoffs
• 4:44
  not knowing who their rotation was gonna be because of
• 4:46
  all the injuries, and they get that bullpen game out
• 4:50
  of that and they get that win. It's huge. And
• 4:53
  that's how you're able to go and win a World
• 4:55
  Series or advance to the NLCS is when you have
• 4:58
  your bullpen step up, and you know when your bullpen
• 5:01
  does not step up, usually it's a big reason why
• 5:03
  you end up going home early.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So the Phillies are done, the Dodgers are still
• 5:08
  alive in the National League. In the American League, the
• 5:11
  Yankees have taken the two games to one lead on
• 5:14
  the Kansas City Royals, clutch hitting the clutch gene in
• 5:18
  effect for New York, and they have Garrett Cole going
• 5:20
  back to the mountain. All right. Coming up next, we'll
• 5:22
  hear from long Worts head coach Steve Sarkeesian as we
• 5:25
  take a look at what's to come for Texas AU
