The Craig Way Show

The Craig Way Show is weekday afternoon sports radio out of Austin, built around the Texas Longhorns. Craig Way, introduced on air as the voice of the Texas Longhorns and a Hall of Fame broadcaster, is on Sports Radio AM 1300 The Zone from 2 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Producer Jay Kerman is part of the conversation. The two trade easy jabs, including one about how many cameras Kerman needs to catch his best side. The show also streams on X, YouTube and Facebook and plays on the iHeartRadio app. Baseball comes up again and again in the recent episode titles: a series with Alabama, SEC standings, a finish in Waco, midseason notes. Way calls the Alabama set a crucial SEC series and tells listeners where to hear the game broadcast. One episode leads with the radio call of a Texas rally against Texas A&M Corpus Christi, in which Carson Tinney drives in five runs and the Longhorns pull away for a 14-7 win. Every week there is a college baseball conversation with Ty Harrington. He is a lifetime Longhorn, a former Texas assistant, and a junior college national champion head coach who spent some 20 years leading the Texas State Bobcats. One of those talks covers how a team steadies itself after losing a series opener, and fans who judge not only the result but how convincing it was. Football shows up in two forms. There is spring practice sound from the coaching staff and from quarterback Arch Manning. Then there is the practical business of a fan event. Fan Day gets a full airing, from a Texas-themed GIF booth and a chance to try on Longhorn shoulder pads and a helmet to a 2026 football schedule poster giveaway. Drew Martin, the senior associate athletic director for external services, joins the show at the ballpark to talk it through, and Way can't resist a joke about how long his title is. Way also credits the staff behind the day, from facilities to marketing to video. He is careful with details: he stops mid-thought to correct himself and explain that one Fan Day event is an open practice, not the spring game. Outside Austin, the titles cover NFL mock drafts, NBA playoff matchups, NHL playoff picks and the Big 12 picture. There is room for the odd stuff too, in a segment called 'Inconceivable' that rounds up bizarre stories, plus a fast food and junk food update when one turns up. The tone is warm, chatty radio that is happy to laugh at itself, down to Way admitting he is just old enough to remember the Shell Answer Man. It is easy to settle into for Longhorn talk from the voice of the Longhorns himself.
