The zone, my name is Craig Way. I thank you very much for joining us and it is the first full weekend of college football. I know there was a zero week last week. It produced it upset of a top 10 team but the first big explosive week actually begins tonight. Are college football games tonight? There are high school football games tonight as the Texas high school football season gets underway as well. Joined as always by the producer, Cameron D. Parker, the D on the birth certificate stands for Dallas and named after all in honor, the middle name for his favorite football team, which he has vowed not to view this season unless they reach the NFC Championship game but they become quite the curiosity of late. The CD lamb contract getting done, the signing of the album cooked to go to the practice squad and now all the conversation and arguments I've been seeing on television the last two days have centered around Dak Prescott and will they get a deal done and does he feel disenchanted and disrespected now? Not so much because the CD lamb deal was done but that there's still been no real movement on his contract status, none of which supplies or surprises. Cameron Parker whatsoever. - I don't think any Cowboys fans are really surprised by how this is played out. Now of course on the other hand, you have San Francisco who is now resorting to finding Brandon Iyuk for every day he misses practice. You got Jamar Chase showing up the practice 15 minutes late in street clothes. A day after sack Taylor said he'd be ready for week one still no Trent Williams, a lot going on. So it is not just the Cowboys. Now I give Jerry in the front office a lot of crap but hey, I mean the 49ers have been one of the most well-run franchises the last couple of years with Shanahan and head coach and John Lynch and they're having issues with it. Cincinnati, they were the Super Bowl three, four years ago that lost to your Los Angeles Rams and they can't lock down their receiver number one. So it's how the NFL, it's the battle continues between NFL owners who just don't want to play, pay these players what they want to get paid. It's a battle is all this time as old as the NFL was first created. So we'll see what happens here now. To the point about DAX contract, saw a little bit of CD Lam's contract details and how it's been structured. It's very back heavy. It's back loaded. The way that they was kind of worked together which a lot of people think that the Cowboys have it back loaded so they can pay DAX Prescott now. Now, we'll get to that point. You hope so. But it seems like this is going to be a situation where we're DAX eventually probably signs during the season because he's not holding out. If he was holding out, it'd be a much different story. And honestly, if he really wanted to get paid, he probably would hold out, but it kind of goes back to, I think he's going to get his money no matter what happens this season. If he hits the free agency market, there was a report yesterday, I think from the athletic that if he does, become a free agent, he will get $60 million from a team. And I've been saying that all summer long. - Yeah, and he's just continued to try to be the right kind of teammate to get ready for this coming season. Fortunately for all of us, those of us who are also fans of the National Football League, we have another week before it starts. So maybe some of that stuff gets sorted out. But college football does begin tonight. High school football does begin tonight. There's some games tonight. There are a couple of games tomorrow then, of course. The main thrust of everything comes down on Saturday, including that of the Texas Longhorns, their season opener at home against the Colorado State Rams. Again, that of course will have we right here on Sports Radio AM 1300, the zone, as well as our big sister station, 98.1 FMKVET, and our pregame coverage of Longhorns game day begins on Saturday. I should say this with an asterisk. So I will, or some folks incorrectly pronounce it, asterisk and asterisk. - Can you say that? - Asterisk? - There are people I know that say asterisk. - Yeah. - I'll say this with an asterisk. The plan is still for you guys to be down and be the boulevard, right? In the hookup hangout, right? I mean, that's the plan, right? That's where you guys are. Now the reason why I say plan, we know there's somewhere right now between a 40 and 50% chance of rain. Some wear some out. So if you guys are out there in it, it doesn't do well with electronics to be out in it. So you might slide inside if that is the case, correct? - We are closely monitoring the wetter models. As you say, the weather models are not all agreeing right now. - They don't agree. - They're not agreeing, take a shot. They won't agree, but yeah, of course, we're gonna be a boulevard for all home games, weather permitting. We're gonna be a new spot this season. So if you're used to coming out and listening to the pregame show, we're in different spot this year. We're in hookup hangout, which is at the Winship Circle. The best way to describe it, we're next to Big Beertha and the Food Truck. So you come out, you get something to drink, you get something to eat, and then you listen to me, my cards, and Mark Henry kind of gets you guys ready before sending it up to the network where Craig Wade and Roger Wallace and Will Matthews will have the call. But yes, weather permitting is the right way of putting it. It looks like we're kind of in that 40, 50% chance of rain and the big issue, which could affect the football game, Craig. Not so much rain, but the chance of lightning and thunderstorm. - Last night, when we were recording the season premiere of Long Orange Weekly with Coach Sark, he just talked about, he said, you know, we've been working outside and training in this heat 100 degree plus for the better part of a month. And now we're hearing it might be around 90 in rain. He said, but we'll take that if we have to take that. So we'll see. So the game obviously is on Saturday. Coming up here in a few minutes, we're going to hear from Sarky. Sark does a Thursday media availability. Of course, Monday's the main press conference. And then that's in our Long Horns Monday, our Long Horn Monday presentation. Tuesday is our Texas Tuesday presentation, where we hear from Texas, Long Horn players. We also talk Texas high school football with Greg Tepper, managing editor Dave Campbell's Texas football magazine. You know, we'll talk about a lot of things, germane to the state of Texas and football on Tuesday. On Wednesdays, we hear is kind of a unique thing. Hearing Sark on the SEC coaches teleconference, that was yesterday. And then today, the year and this was just from this morning from the media availability. And then on Friday, a little bit of a recap of Long Horn weekly, because we recorded the program last night, as we will on Wednesdays. The show airs on Thursdays. Normally it'll be at seven o'clock in the evening. Today, this week, it'll be five, five o'clock this afternoon. So you can hear it on your way home if you're driving home or whatever. The reason for that being, you've round rock express baseball for you tonight at 650. So it'll be at five o'clock this afternoon for Long Horn weekly with Coach Sark. And we hear a portion of that on Friday, the matchup segment with the opposing team. So we have that. So we hear from Sark virtually every day on this radio station as they get ready for the season opener. We're gonna hear from him coming up here in just a few minutes also. This hour we have inconceivable, as we always do. We'll keep you updated on a couple of things. There's some day baseball to update you on. And we'll do that. And then also I've asked Cameron to keep an eye on the FedEx Cup because the Tour Championship is this weekend. It is the final event of the FedEx Cup. And we know that Scotty Scheffler was beginning with the, what do you call it? - Slotted two-shot lead. - Staggered. - Staggered scoring. - Staggered scoring day. The staggered score. So he begins with a two-shot lead starting at minus 10 there. So we'll keep you updated on that this afternoon. Three o'clock hour. A little bit different thing for you in the three o'clock hour. We get a lot of questions both on our text line. And we always welcome those. All you have to do is text the word Texas followed by your question or comment to 81530. And you can ask us a question. Standard messaging and data rates may apply. But we get a lot of questions about NIL. And someone who is well versed in what's going on with that and can help decipher some of that for you is Patrick Smith. You may know him as wheels, as he's known around campus, there are a lot of folks. So we'll visit with wheels coming up within three o'clock hour to talk about that. At 3.40, we have our first day DJC wall injury update with regard to long-worn football. Let's come up with that. And then in the four o'clock, we'll hear some more from Sartre, but also we're gonna hear from Rodney Terry, the long-worn men's basketball coach, had a media availability. Just kind of an update on where things stand and how they are. And we'll hear from RT in the four o'clock hour. So we have all of that and more coming up. So we invite you to stay with us.
