DALLAS – This week on “FLW Outdoors Presented by Wal-Mart,” hosts Keith Lebowitz and Tony Casillas will catch up with a professional angler, talk with Oklahoma University’s head football coach, chat with a couple of players for the Dallas Cowboys and speak with some regular guests. Pro angler Chad Grigsby of Colon, Mich., will share his thoughts on the upcoming EverStart Series Championship taking place Oct. 29-Nov. 1 in Tennessee on Old Hickory Lake. The Sooners’ Bob Stoops will talk about his team’s matchup against Colorado University on Saturday. Cowboys linebacker Bradie James and offensive lineman Ryan Young will talk about this week’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Also on the show will be regular guests Nick Eatman, a DallasCowboys.com writer, and Ranger pro-staff guide David Vance.

Grigsby – who in 2003 competed in the Wal-Mart FLW Tour, the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League and the EverStart Series – will try to win the top prize at the EverStart Series Championship, which includes a fully rigged Ranger 519VS Comanche and as much as $35,000 in cash. He will talk about how he plans to walk away with the win.

Stoops, who is in his fifth season as head coach at Oklahoma with one national championship and two Big 12 titles to his credit, will talk about being the No. 1 college football coach in the country with his team’s 7-0 record. James is a graduate of Louisiana State University who experienced successes both on and off the football field. The rookie was a two-time All-Southeastern Conference selection on the field, and off the field, he was a National Scholar Athlete and member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll. He will talk about his career and his first year as a professional athlete. Young, who started in 40 consecutive games from 1999-2001, will talk about football as well as his passion for skeet shooting.

Eatman will preview the Cowboys-Buccaneers game, and Vance, known as one of the best guides in Texas, will give his weekly fishing update for Lake Fork, one of the hottest bass-fishing lakes in Texas.
