• 2:28
  a great bar for years, the Stoneley p which was
• 2:30
  across the street from the Stoneley Hotel, which is still there,
• 2:34
  but the Stoneley p they had this is the great bar,
• 2:37

  to bringing you the program from that on Friday afternoon
• 2:46
  from two to six. That's our red River preview show.
• 2:50
  So you don't even have to worry about saying rivalry
• 2:52
  a third alliterative word. You can just say red River
• 2:56
  Preview and that'll be Friday afternoon. Of course, our coverage
• 3:02
  of the all state Red River rivalry matchup between Texas
• 3:06
  and Oklahoma begins Saturday morning at eleven thirty and the
• 3:11
  kickoff is probably gonna be around to forty five I'm hearing,
• 3:20
  probably right by the time all a said and done.
• 3:22
  But eleven thirty is the airtime here all on the
• 3:25
  zone for Long Orange Game Day with Cam and my
• 3:28
  cards and Mark Henry from the fairgrounds. You guys will
• 3:32
  be boots on the ground. You'll be on the fairgrounds
• 3:36
  of the State Fair taxas correct, we will and so
• 3:38
  if you're out there looking for a good pregame show.
• 3:41
  We're gonna be near the Old Mill End, which is
• 3:44
  pretty close to Big Text. I think it's on the
• 3:46
  corner of Grand Avenue and First Avenue, so.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: A lot of foot traffic through that area, a lot
• 3:51
  of foot traffic. And it's it's pretty close to the
• 3:53
  stadium as well, so you know, come out again. We're
• 3:56
  gonna be on from eleven thirty to one thirty, myself
• 4:00
  of my cards, Mark Henry, as we are every week
• 4:02
  for Longhorn's game day, and gonna have a lot of
• 4:04
  fun guests on this week some Texas insiders, owe you insiders,
• 4:08
  former players.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of fun this weekend. There
• 4:12
  was a time, a long time ago when I used
• 4:16
  to take dates to.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: The Old mill in Oh really wow, I said, you
• 4:21
  can hear some of those stories.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Not much to tell, just dates over there.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: But anyway, it's on the fairgrounds and yeah, not far
• 4:28
  from Big Text. Oh the folks, this is a Big
• 4:32
  Text of talking to you. Welcome to the State Fair
• 4:37
  of Texas anyway, so it'll be pretty close. Remember that
• 4:44
  your Big Text caught on fire. Yeah, I was scary,
• 4:47
  just burned. Yea. His clothes were quite flammable and kind
• 4:52
  of went up in flames on that. Speaking of going
• 4:55
  up in flames, this this business of the top five
• 5:01
  or five of the top eleven ranked teams in the
• 5:03
  country losing over the weekend. The Vanderbilt Alabama game I mentioned,
• 5:09
  it's the first time that Vanderbilt has beaten Alabama in
• 5:11
  forty years. That was in Tuscal loose in eighty four,
• 5:15
  and it was the first time they've beaten them in
• 5:19
  Nashville since nineteen seventy six. I want you to think
• 5:23
  about this for a minute. Vanderbilt wins Arkansas knocks off
• 5:27
  Tennessee sixteen to twelve, nineteen fourteen.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I guess it was so they beat Tennessee.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: So you know, with all of this conversation about the
• 5:40
  relative strength of the long warns SEC schedule, take a
• 5:44
  look at it now in Texas, A and M blasting Missouri.
• 5:49
  All three of those teams, all three of those teams
• 5:53
  beating top ten ranked teams, and Texas has to play
• 5:58
  road games at all three of those places. They have
• 6:01
  to go to Nashville at the end of October to
• 6:04
  play Vanderbilt, they have to go to Fayetteville to play
• 6:08
  Arkansas November sixteenth, and they have to go to College
• 6:12
  Station on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: So when you're.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Talking about the Texas schedule, keep some of those things
• 6:17
  a mind. Oh oh, by the way, a very good
• 6:19
  Kentucky team will be coming in and we'll come in
• 6:25
  and we'll play in Austin on November twenty third.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: She got that.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Even Florida went over the weekend beat UCF. They'll be
• 6:35
  here on November ninth. All of Texas remaining opponents who
• 6:42
  played of the weekend one an unbeaten of the weekend.
• 6:46
  So that's that's something to consider about that. The Alabama
• 6:49
  Vanderbilt game was was a noteworthy for several reasons. One,
• 6:57
  obviously this year magnitude of a Vanderbilt beating Alabama, but
• 7:02
  the way in which they did it. They did it
• 7:05
  the way that the Service academies pull off wins. Remember
• 7:10
  remember when Army played Oklahoma so were tough a few
• 7:12
  years ago. They kept the ball. They just you know,
• 7:15
  you squeezed a life, slowly suffocating your team by having
• 7:20
  time at possession. They had it for forty two minutes plus,
• 7:24
  so better than two thirds of the possession time went
• 7:27
  the way of the commodores. They were never, never, once
• 7:31
  forced into a three and out. That might be the
• 7:34
  most mind boggling number of them all that not one
• 7:39
  time during the course of the day was Vanderbilt forced
• 7:44
  into a three and out. And they seemingly had answers
• 7:47
  every time when Alabama would answer, then they would answer.
• 7:49
  Bama kept it close, and then Vanderbilt would have an answer.
• 7:53
  And there were some noteworthy performances including the guy you
• 8:02
  called games that he played in, I called games that
• 8:05
  he played in. Cedric Alexander from LBJ scored a couple
• 8:09
  of big touchdowns and then caught the pass to that
• 8:11
  big first down to keep it the clock running and
• 8:14
  keep possession going for Vanderbilt.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: So he had that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if folks recognized the name Eli Stowers,
• 8:23
  but Eli Stowers had a very big part in the
• 8:27
  game with what he did catching the balls receiver. Eli
• 8:31
  Stowers is a former Texas high school quarterback. In fact,
• 8:35
  Eli Stowers was the quarterback of the Denton Guy or Wildcats,
• 8:38
  who played Westlake in the state championship game when Kate
• 8:42
  Klubnick was playing for Westlake. Stowers went down early in
• 8:47
  the game, first few minutes of the game. Knee injury
• 8:51
  into the season and they had to play a Wow,
• 8:55
  it's true freshman high school. He usual a freshman, I
• 8:57
  would say true freshman in the high school with a
• 8:58
  freshman ninth grader named Jackson Arnold. So imagine the symmetry
• 9:05
  of all of that. So Stowers was out. Stours eventually
• 9:10
  matriculates to Vanderbilt and comes up with some big catches.
• 9:16
  So he had two former Texas high school football stars
• 9:20
  who made an impact in that game for Vanderbilt to
• 9:23
  beat Alabama. And then on top of that, the quarterback
• 9:26
  Diego Pavia was something else. I watched him play when
• 9:29
  he played at New Mexico State at a program that
• 9:32
  was just completely forgotten. Jerry Killed did a really good
• 9:36
  job while he was there building a back up, and
• 9:38
  Pavia was his quarterback. Pavia a guy from Albuquerque whose
• 9:42
  hometown school, New Mexico showed no interest in it whatsoever.
• 9:47
  Texas Tech said you can come as a walk on,
• 9:49
  but he believed he could be a scholarship quarterback, and
• 9:54
  he went to junior college and then ultimately New Mexico
• 9:58
  State and then the Vanderbilt and he engineers this massive
• 10:04
  upset win for the Commodores over Alabama. So if Texas
• 10:09
  should happen to win tonight, I mean this Saturday against Oklahoma,
• 10:13
  and then the following Saturday night at home against Georgia,
• 10:16
  they would carry the number one ranking into Vanderbilt, whe
• 10:19
  Vanderbilt would have a second opportunity to knock off a
• 10:22
  number one ranked team during the course of the year
• 10:25
  if that were to happen. All right, coming up, we're
• 10:28
  gonna hear more from Long Horns head coach Steve Sarkisian.
• 10:30
  Whill we continue here on this Monday Longhorns Monday edition
• 10:36
  of the program here on sports Radio AM thirteen under
• 10:38
  the zone of the iHeartRadio app.
