  Speaker 1: Good afternoon everybody, and welcome to the program here on
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio AM thirteen under the Zone. My name is
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Craig Wait. Glad to have you with us on board
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: here on this Thursday afternoon. Us, of course includes the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: producer of this program, Cameron D. Parker. The D stands
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: on the birth certificate for Dallas, as in his favorite
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: pro football team that he refuses to watch out of
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the disgust he has, and maybe the D stands for that.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: But he's kept pretty busy these days with the duties
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: here at the station and with our Long Warn Radio
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: network from Learfield Basketball broadcast and as the host along
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: with my Cardball Herte and Mark Henry on our Long
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Warns game day coverage which includes this Saturday from the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: hook them hangout along Bevo Boulevard in the Winship Circle
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: there in Austin, and that will start at eight a m.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: On Saturday. How's that hit?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: The Yeah, D stands for double espresso shot, a Starbucks order.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Starbucks and inconceivable today we got a Starbucks item and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: inconceivable today.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: But no excited to be back at DKR. You know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: deacons in for DKR as well. The one hundredth anniversary
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: of Darryl K. Royal Texas Memorial Stadium this weekend. How
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: about that one hundred years of DKR. So it's gonna
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: be a fun week. It's been three weeks since Texas
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: last played a football game at home, and a lot
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to prove, coreig a lot to proove with this Texas
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: football team. At the loss to Georgia you get by Vanderbilt,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: people are starting to doubt them. And I'm anticipating we're
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: going to see a very focused, in hungry football team
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: on Saturday as they begin a closing four week stretch
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: that begins with Florida and ends with the Texas A
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: and M fighting Aggies. And by the end of that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: we'll know this is a college football playoff team, but
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the SEC championship team perhaps.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna say this and it'll bring about a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: collective eye roll, and that's cool. I get it. I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: think people have kind of underrated Vanderbilt a little bit. Yeah,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: they took Missouri to double overtime on the road, should
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: have won the game at a couple of kicking game mistakes. Yes,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they had an ugly earlier season loss to Georgia State.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: They did. They also have a win for Alabama, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: they played Texas tough at home and they won on
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the road in the SEC at Auburn. Let's see how
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: they do against South Carolina this week. The game is
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: in Nashville. We'll see on that they're already Bowl eligible.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: They are nashally ranked. So for people who say that
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Texas is meeting, the team has not beaten any teams
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that are that are ranked any longer talking about Michigan
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: or Oklahoma, that would be incorrect. Vnderbield is ranked, and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they're world beaters or anything like that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying it proved to be a difficult change.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And even then, the long Orange control a lot of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that game, but the penalties and you know, and then
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the late touchdown drive and all that led and the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: fact that Vanderbilts in the two Texas tip pass interceptions
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and the touchdowns and the long wards did not cash
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in the three Vanderbilt turnovers. That can turn a game
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and make it interesting. But it's but when people say
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Texas almost lost to Vanderbilt, no, they didn't almost lose.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt scored with under a minute to go to get
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: within three and then couldn't recover an on sidekick. I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: don't call that as almost losing. Yeah, they had the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: early seven to nothing lead, and then Texas had twenty
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: one and a sered points after that before Vanderbilt made
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it a little bit of a closer game then, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: then Texas kind of kept them at arm's length until
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: those late moments of the game. But bottom line is,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you went on the road, you move on. Vanderbilt did
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: that and they're back home. Texas did that, and coming
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: off a bye week, they're at home to take on
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the Florida Gators. It's an interesting Florida team. You know. Me,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not much into the into the wagering lines, but
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: somebody told me a little while ago that it's like
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: minus twenty one Florida. Yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I believe it opened at twenty one and a half.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I am not an expert on any of that stuff.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I always say that first, I do not regularly converse
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: with the boys in the desert that sort of thing,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: But I just think that's a little elevated when you
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: look at what Florida has day. Anyway, we'll talk more
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: about that coming up. We've got that to get to.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: That line is the Aiden Wagner or Aiden Warner starting QUARTERB.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah line, yeah, yeah, the Aiden Warner line. Yeah. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Sean Kelly, played by play voice of the Florida Gators,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: was on with us yesterday to say that they were
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: still working on DJ Lagway to see if he might,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you know, be able to go that you know, he
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: might have an opportunity. What does the player availability report
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: say about Florida?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: He was questionable, That's what I thought. But you know,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I said this to a friend. Remember when Quinn Yours
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: had that entry his first year and Stark said he
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: was day to day and you missed what like four weeks?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: He called him week to week, is what he said.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see how Logway's playing this game that
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: this is purely gamesmanship, purely, Hey, let's just try and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: have Texas prepare for two quarterbacks same way that T.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Sark would not rule out quin Yours early on in
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the week. But I anticipate that the injury report either
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: tonight or tomorrow will have him as doubtful or out.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll be wrong and I'll eatcro but there's no
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: way he He was carted off the field last week.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Craig he was carted off the field. He's gonna be
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: playing football a week later against his Texas defense.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, well here's the other thing too. They could leave
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: him listed as questionable questionable supposedly fifty to fifty. They
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: could leave him listed as questionable. That's how it was
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: with Queen Youwers. It was questionable I think all the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: way up to game one of the weeks up to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: game time at maybe the Mississippi State game possibly and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: then and then unavailable. So he's listed as questionable. The
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: running back Montreal Johnson Junior's listed is questionable. Damian George,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the huge guard from Galena Park, No. North Shore, who
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I saw play on a couple of state championship teams
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and then started at Alabama and transferred in is listed
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: as questionable. So we'll keep an eye on that. It's funny.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Here's if you needed any other reason, no other reason,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: if you had to have another reason for why it's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: called the SEC's student Athlete Availability report instead of the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: injury report. Take a look at the Texas win. Vernon
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Broughton out first half. Yep, that's availability. That's not injury.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That's because of the targeting call in the fourth quarter
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of the Vanderbilt game. So he's going to be out.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I asked Sark last night on Long Worn Weekly, you'll
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: be able to hear the program tonight at seven o'clock.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I kind of did a follow up to what was
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: asked of him in the press conference on Monday about
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Vernon brought and how do you prepare knowing you're not
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: going to have him? How much prep does he get?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: How does how does all that work? And he talked
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: about it in the tale like he did on Monday
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: as well. So he's listed on that. Isaiah Bond is
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: listed as probable, and I think we'll see him. He's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: he's been able to practice this week, and so that's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that's good. That's a healthy sign. Andrew mccooba, while questionable
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: maybe updated, upgraded and probable by tomorrow. Well you're going
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to hear Sark talk about that coming up. This of course,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: being Thursday, it means Thursday, of course is the Sark
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Zoom media availability. We're back on that regular schedule now
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: where Monday have Long Horns Monday and we broadcast live
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: from from campus at eleven am and then eleven thirty
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: is Sark's weekly press conference and then we bring him
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the sound from that, we're bringing the press conference live
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and then highlights of that during this program. And then
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday is the SEC teleconference we had that Sark
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: was on that, and then he was chuckling about the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: same thing cam that you and I were chuckling about
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: yesterday that nobody but nobody asked him about the college
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: football playoff revealed the first one and you're like eighteen
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: hours removed from that, and no, like fourteen hours I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: guess whatever, But nobody asked him about it on the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: SEC teleconference yesterday, and yet he was he was amused
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: by the fact that somebody asked him about the injury thing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: He's like, you're gonna find out we have an injury
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: report that's coming out later day. Why waste a question
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: on that? I think was his words on that. But
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in talking about things on the media Zoom this morning,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: he gave an encouraging update on Andrew mccuba. We'll hear
• 9:11

• 9:17
