January 30, 20214 yr He is a fabulous play by play announcer. He can be frighteningly dull in a talk format.
January 30, 20214 yr the best team we ever had was when we had (iirc) Ron Franklin, Bill Schoening, and Craig Way was doing the sideline reporting. After Ron and then Bill moved on, having Craig Way on pxp we haven't missed a beat. Texas fans have truly been spoiled when it comes to our announcing teams during my lifetime.

Yes now if only we can get a targeted gamma ray burst or meteorite to take out Lowell Galindo we should be fine. Edited January 30, 20214 yr by El Squared
January 30, 20214 yr Popular Post If Craig Way outlives me, I want him narrating the opening to my memorial service: “The deceased, laying from left to right in your mind’s eye, wearing his home jersey today: All black coat, with a white, buttoned-down pressed shirt with burnt orange block stitched initials across the left breast pocket. He has a matching burnt orange silk tie, and burnt orange cufflinks with a centered block letter T. He is wearing black trousers with a black leather belt and silver buckle. We now go down to the officiant for today’s action, Reverend Bob Smith, with the opening invocation.” (and you know every single one of you enunciated and all caps’d the hell out of B-L-O-C-K when you read that in your head).

January 31, 20214 yr Awesome. Hope Shaka tells us tomorrow Brock, Ramey and Sims are all back. I want to beat Baylor at full strength
February 1, 20214 yr Everything that bothered me about Craig's hosting abilities evaporated when he went through his wife's cancer diagnosis and ultimate passing. I know, it happens, but he handled it with class and dignity, and I came to appreciate his goofy eccentricities all that much more as my respect for the man grew. I hope he hosts and broadcasts for a couple of more decades at least.
February 1, 20214 yr Just like we all predicted preseason - Texas and OU as 2 of the 3 Big 12 teams in the top 10. Kansas and WV/Tech have sads. Edited February 1, 20214 yr by Js1

February 1, 20214 yr Obligatory... Fuck the Big XII. Looks like pollsters had some sense about the situation. Re: Craig Way Before the big TV contracts for college football, you pretty much were stuck listening to the Esso\Exxon Radio Network sponsored radio broadcasts. I grew up listening to Frank Fallon on Saturday nights in the fall. I consider Fallon to be one of the GOATs. Schoening and Way are in that same realm. Way calls UT games like he is calling a High School Championship game. He pretty much keeps any bias he has in check. The only time that *I* have heard him have a 'WTF' moment was the 2015 Okie State game. I can get why people might turn him off from 10-12, but when it is game time, we are fortunate to have him calling it from our broadcast booth.
February 1, 20214 yr Weirdest headline from 247. "Texas remains in the top 25". Um yeah, we're 6th. We fell one spot.

February 2, 20214 yr Man, that Shaka interview. He was barely holding it together. I wonder if he's having a hard time recovering from the virus. Or, he's just pissed.

I don’t understand this bullshit and who decides Each conference has their own rules, and they vary. This was part of Shaka's diplomatic version of a complaint; Kentucky had "a positive" and paused for 48 hours, and it doesn't sound like the Big 12 has that same mechanism. In the Big 12 if you have 6 scholarship players available you have to play, though I don't know the consequences if they decline other than a forfeit.

Fran is usually fine to me, but this year he's been recycling the same talking points over and over more than I can ever recall. I'm used to him bringing up 2-for-1 at the end of every half, but this year he says the same half-dozen things about Texas every time they get brought up (country club last year but not this year, etc.) Maybe not being able to travel around to watch teams practice is impacting his ability to provide insight. I'd still prefer him over Vitale, who Texas has tonight. I will be watching the game on mute.

It's also very easy for a team to say they have less than 6 due to contract tracing and nobody will say shit. Like maybe we should have played a 6 to 7 player Baylor team earlier this year.

And you can tell which postponements are due to mostly contact tracing vs a multitude of positive tests by how quickly a team comes back for competition after a cancelation.

Yeah no doubt TEXAS got screwed by B12 requiring them to play that game against blOU without out 3 key players available... And Fuckin Fran's constant comments during that game saying TEXAS should still win without those 3 players was such bullshit !!!
