1
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: Second hour nor to win for p A, although p

2
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: A p A is going to be in studio at

3
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: eleven looking forward to catching up with him. Save travels

4
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: took place back from la and so far the disaster

5
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: last night and hopefully looking for something better. Nine and

6
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: a half point dogs. That's a little heavy, to be

7
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: honest with you. But the Minnesota Golden Gophers are at

8
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: the Iowa Hawkeyes tomorrow. It's a two thirty pm kickoff

9
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: at Kinnick and it's a beautiful place to play in

10
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: an institutional, an institution like college town and area and campus.

11
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. And he's going to make my next guest

12
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: going to make the four and a half hour drive

13
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: or so down there tomorrow morning. It's Ryan Burns from

14
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: Gopher Illustrated dot Com. Gopher Singular Illustrated dot com is

15
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: where you get all the hot intel. It's where I

16
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: go for Gopher bits. And he's in studio at Ryan

17
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: Burns m N via X. How you doing, man, I'm

18
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: doing well. How are you? Thanks for you today? Well,

19
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: it's it's mostly good. I mean, you know, life life.

20
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: I just listening another way in I know you guys

21
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: are going through it a little bit right now.

22
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was just I mean, it was as

23
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: bad as it got. I mean, whatever whatever you thought

24
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: off of the lack of accuracy from the QB and

25
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: and Jalen Hurts buying himself a little extra time with

26
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: a week pass rush and he's finding aj Brown and

27
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Devonte Smith all over the place. Short week chargers of

28
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: law three to four can't run the ball to save

29
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: their lives. This is a little bounce back opportunity. No,

30
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: it was one of the most devastating and pathetic dominating

31
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: performances by an adversary that we've seen in quite a while. So,

32
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: I mean, in twenty twenty two, I think you win

33
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: at Buffalo Crazy game as that was you get throttled

34
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: by the Cowboys. A week later. Yeah, that was Tony

35
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Pollard running all over this So that was a forty

36
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: to three bit at home that was kind of nasty.

37
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: But this one feels different. And they're three and four

38
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: the college team, not three and four, they're five and two.

39
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: But I want to get this, So, you were on

40
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: X last night.

41
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: Made the mistake of giving a Vikings opinion on X,

42
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 2: which I don't know that I'll ever do again.

43
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: So you I did not know. And maybe this is

44
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: like an insulation thing for when you're out in the

45
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: in the tree stand and you got that bow ready,

46
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: ready to find that ten point buck sitting out there.

47
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: Last night. We're trying Norda, We're trying to get you

48
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: some venison. But I wasn't aware that that wrapping yourself

49
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: in tinfoil was an effective way to shield maybe the

50
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: human scent such that a deer may pick up on.

51
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: Because apparently via X your thought was, you know you

52
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: want you want to see Brosmer. I know you do.

53
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: I think we all wanted to see anyone. I mean,

54
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz nearly died out on the field last night.

55
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: It was at a lawsuit against the Wolves for them

56
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 2: continue to trot him out there.

57
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: And he wasn't going to pull himself out of the game. No,

58
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: you needed, you know, whether it's the medical staff, you needed, the.

59
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: Coach, someone needed to help Carson help himself there, help

60
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: help help help you.

61
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, they did not until I mean just the

62
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: depths of the game where it just didn't matter. I

63
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: some could say maybe late stages of the first half

64
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: it already didn't matter, but you know that's subjective. You're

65
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: thinking that they're not putting Brozmer in because there is

66
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: a potential optics issue where this team invested in the

67
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: tenth overall pick. Loved the former Wolverine. He gets hurt

68
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: rookie season. He can't help that, but he's back and

69
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: he's healthy, and you don't do anything about Rogers. You

70
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: let Darnold go. You gave Daniel Jones actually more money

71
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: than the Colts did, but you told him come back

72
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: to be a backup. And Shane Steikin's, you know, probably

73
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: whispering in his ear. It's Anthony Richardson. Think man, Let's

74
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: just say it's in your best interest to come to

75
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: Indianatois and now here he is with the Colts. But

76
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: that's okay because we got JJ McCarthy and then of

77
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: course Carson Wentz would join later in the equation. Sam

78
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: Howell wasn't very good and Brett Rippen may just not

79
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: have it and maybe he is a career backup and

80
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: I forget where he is now, but he's not on

81
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: our team. So we got Carson. They're not putting in

82
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: the undrafted cat who was the talk of camp.

83
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: Who beat out those two former quarterbacks to get the spot.

84
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: By the way, he was undrafted probably only probably because

85
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: he only had one year in the Big ten and

86
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: they couldn't really figure out how to you know, Okay,

87
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: New Hampshire this, and yeah, it was a pretty nice season.

88
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: But Pj's team runs it so much and he goes

89
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: undrafted and he beats he wins a job on the

90
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 1: fifty three. As rare as that is for a QB.

91
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: KO is not putting him in there. You're saying, with

92
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: your tinfoil hat on in the tree stand because the

93
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: optics would be awful. If Brozemer shows out, which just.

94
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: Shows anything is kind of where I'm at with just

95
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: shows a pulse.

96
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: Well, you think about the second half of last night's game.

97
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: Again, I'm casual Vikings guy, but I watched all I

98
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: do throughout the week is watch college football. I watch

99
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: a ton of football. They're doing this for a very

100
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: long time. And there's just no way you can look

101
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: me dead in the eye and say that, especially as

102
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 2: that game went on and I'm watching Carson Wentz just

103
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: grimace in excruciating pain, and he's taking some of the

104
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: worst sacks I've seen. And yeah, the offensive line's no good, sure,

105
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: but Carson's holding onto the ball too long.

106
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: And I know I've seen a lot.

107
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: I've seen more Max Brozmer than probably many people listening

108
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: to this, so good for me. That's not the point

109
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: with this is what if he does play okay, right,

110
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: and then JJ comes back next week and it continues

111
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: to look like it's looked for a majority of the season.

112
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: What does that look like if you have Brozemer just

113
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: look like he has a pulse.

114
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the whole thing with the bit is

115
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: I still think that Brozemer could have been quarterback two.

116
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: Now you can't go into the season.

117
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: I'm not illogical, and I'm not justin garb with Brozmer

118
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: Brownstones and things like that. I understand the optics of

119
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: what a UDFA rookie quarterback is. QB two in the

120
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: NFL looks like even for a quarterback whisperer.

121
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: So is it like.

122
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: Lindsey Lofts now, like, what do we do with Drake Lindley? Yeah,

123
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: we got a couple of years hopefully to figure all

124
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: that out.

125
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: We'll get to that. But the Brozemer Brownstone, so you

126
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't you clearly had to have an established veteran, Yeah, sure.

127
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: But if Carson continues to play like he has and

128
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: he's also clearly hurt, what, yeah, you're down three scores

129
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: on the road. Anyway, this game is over. It doesn't

130
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: matter your defense can't get pressure, and it doesn't. It

131
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: is what it is, So why not see what the

132
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: kid has for the final twenty minutes of the game.

133
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: And that's where I've just been doing this long enough

134
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: to know. I know a lot of people listening don't

135
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: believe the optics of it should matter. I know this

136
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: market at least good enough to know it matters more

137
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: than you think, which I think you and I both

138
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: would say we don't agree with right, that shouldn't matter.

139
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: Finding out what you have should matter and not the

140
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: optics of the first round or versus the UDFA. But

141
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: that's the only thing I could truly think about.

142
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: Is I mean?

143
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: I watched Max Brosemann a lot go to a short,

144
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: quick passing game, which if you don't have an offensive

145
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: line that can pass protect for three and a half seconds,

146
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: I've watched Max do it long enough that he can

147
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 2: go out and implement something.

148
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: Doesn't it seem like that would be a good problem

149
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: to have, though it will put max In and he

150
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: actually does play pretty well. Now, certainly you have the

151
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: first round pick, and he's just by nature of the

152
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: draft pick investment, he's going to get the he's going

153
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: to get the lie and share of op saying.

154
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: You shouldn't You got to find out what you have

155
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: in JJ because he can't stay on the field.

156
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: You certainly do. Yeah, but that seems like it'ld be

157
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: a good problem to have if the undrafted kid plays

158
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: pretty well. What do we know? We're just a couple

159
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: of schmucks on the radio, right, No, that's it, one

160
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: hundred schmuck is the is the is the keyword there?

161
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: At least for me. I won't speak for you. You're

162
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: the year the expert. You know, I've never heard I've

163
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: never seen you this uh, this hard on Pj's team. See,

164
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: you got a little loose on the pros here, But

165
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: I see how I see how it works to that end,

166
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: do you think, uh, do you think Carson is is

167
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: a little bit? And then we'll get to the college team.

168
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: You think Carson's like I mean, I basically I was

169
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: a sacrificial lamb out there, Oh for sure, And in

170
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: five years I'm not going to be able to change

171
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: a light bulb or grab something off the top shelf

172
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: with my left arm. So JJ McCarthy better be damn

173
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: good Oh my goodness, you better be damn since I

174
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: can't play catch with my kids in a decade after

175
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: the shoulder thing.

176
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: Did you see the shot of him? I think it

177
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: was like three or five minutes left in the fourth quarter.

178
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: He is leaned back on the bench, looking up at

179
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: the scoreboard, just desponded, just contemplating life. All I could

180
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: picture the song playing in his head was Hello Darkness,

181
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: my old friend.

182
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: I can That's how I'm sure.

183
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: He felt after taking hit after hit after hit after hit. Yeah,

184
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: I could continue to go with that, but yeah, there

185
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: was a sacrificial lamb aspect of that game. And if

186
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: I'm koc, whether it's Brozemur or whether it would have

187
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: been x y Z quarterback, put somebody else out there

188
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 2: just to let him take the hits.

189
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: If that's the point, no, I I have just so

190
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: much respect for Carson. I just I think the experiment,

191
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: the experiment does need to end. And with ten days

192
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: until the Lions game at Ford Field, I am I'm

193
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: starting to push the chips in that JJ's just going

194
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: to practice all week and he's going to be the

195
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: guy at Ford Field because the bit ain't working. I'm

196
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: with you to the Gophers. The bit has been working.

197
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: The can we replicate in some ways in completely different scenarios?

198
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: Obviously between what you know? Is it? Is it safe

199
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: to say I said it with Greenway? Is this Dylan

200
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: Rayola thing like just a hardcore Pat Mahome cosplay affair here,

201
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: because from the hair, to the shades, to the walk,

202
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: even to how he actually on the field in some

203
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: ways tries to manipulate the situation. I mean, it's good

204
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: to have role models and heroes. That was freaking out canny,

205
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: but we sacked him nine times and dominated him in

206
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: the Huskers. Can we replicate that again different qbs, different scenarios,

207
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: But can we bring that down to Iowa City tomorrow?

208
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 2: That is the question. I mean, you've been talking about

209
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: a Greenway. You've asked me here, why is the line

210
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: eight and a half nine and a half whatever it is?

211
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: Because this Gopher football team has not been consistent week

212
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: to week. I don't know what team's going to show

213
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: up tomorrow. And that's from the guy who covers this program.

214
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: Every single day of his life and has for fifteen years.

215
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: Is this is a go for football team in twenty

216
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: twenty five, that just thirteen days ago against Purdue, that

217
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: defense allowed four hundred and fifty total yards over two

218
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty on the ground, had no sacks and

219
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 2: forty something dropbacks, and then on a short week at

220
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: home against Patrick, Mahomes sacked them a program record nine times.

221
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: I mean, if you knew what you were getting on

222
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: a given week from this team, it'd be a lot

223
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 2: easier to the words of the man coming in at

224
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock prognosticate what it's going to look like. But

225
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: this is a Gopher football team that hasn't traveled well

226
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: so far this year on the road. They're zero and

227
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: two now. They also haven't played a road game when

228
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 2: the sun has still been up. And they went out

229
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: to Berkeley and it was kind of cursed where it

230
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: was a nine to thirty pm kickoff local time. They

231
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: fell apart after midnight local time. Then they were the

232
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 2: sacrificial lamb for Ohio State on their homecoming.

233
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't really say they haven't played well on

234
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: the road. I mean, let's just kind of focus in

235
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: on that col game, and I know, you know, these

236
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: players get up for games and there's always a chance

237
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: to win. Everyone pragmatically, there was not a chance that

238
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: they were coming out of Ohio Stadium. No, the shoot,

239
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: I think Ohio.

240
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: State is clearly the best team in college football, and

241
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: they have been all season. I mean, they are just

242
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: as the kids would say, they are a wagon right now,

243
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: anybody they run into, just toying with their opponents at

244
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: the stage trying to get healthy to the college football playoff.

245
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: Julian Sayan looks incredible and that they.

246
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: Allowed more than a touchdown to like anybody. I mean

247
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: maybe like Donoi was able to put up a couple

248
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: of touchdowns on him, but that was about it. I mean,

249
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: they've got two first round receivers and Jeremiah Smith and

250
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: two NFL drafts Carnel Tait next year. They've got a

251
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: Heisman guy quarterback, They've got a first They've got first

252
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: round picks on a defense. Matt Patricia is thinking to himself, Haha, Belichick,

253
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: you thought like we couldn't do this thing without you.

254
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: Here I am in college now making this thing work.

255
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: So when you look at them going down to Iowa,

256
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: City again. They haven't won back to back games in

257
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: Iowa City in over forty years. I mean, it has

258
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: been a house of horrors for them. Now they won

259
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: twelve to ten two years ago with the bit they've

260
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: done it. But that is such a difficult football team

261
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: in such a difficult environment, especially now that this is

262
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: the first time Hawkeye fans have seen this Gopher team

263
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: since the invalid signal that was heard around the world,

264
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: which I still think was correctly called because of course

265
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: you do well. I haven't seen too many pump returners,

266
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: especially elite ones like Cooper de Gen put out his

267
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: arm to the side there and kind of give a

268
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: little wave over to the hospital like they're going to

269
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: do in Minnesota.

270
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: Will also do after the first quarter there. But it's

271
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: going to be a fun environment. I mean, that ninety

272
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: eight pound bronze pig. It means a lots of both

273
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: band bases. I know that this Gopher football team and

274
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: the staff, They've got a lot of respect for Kirk

275
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: Farrence and Phil Parker and what they do down there.

276
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: All they do is win eight games every year, which

277
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: is so difficult to do in college football, and it

278
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: is a fascinating game to kind of get into.

279
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: This Gophers team. What do you think Pj's learned about

280
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: this group? And maybe you've learned it and we all

281
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: have just by watching the games where the ability to

282
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: win with Drake lindsay, when you couldn't run the ball

283
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: to save your life to you in a lot of ways,

284
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: not that Drake. I mean, Drake wasn't bad against Nebraska

285
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: at all, but it was also the first time now

286
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: that we really saw Darius Taylor come to life, and man,

287
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: we needed it. I wish you would have gotten into

288
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: the end zone there. It stinks that he stepped out

289
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: at the one, yep, But what do you think he's

290
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: learned about this team and kind of trying to balance

291
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: developing the kid probably banging his head against the wall

292
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: with this run game situation. The O line kind of

293
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: finding their way along throughout this just very wonky despite

294
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: being five and two. I would say they're wonky in

295
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: terms of what we can get out of the run game.

296
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: And then again just continuing to see the growth of

297
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: the young QB. Yeah, the young QBU as.

298
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: I think what we've learned the most about is that

299
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: Minnesota's I think got a special one here in Drake lindsay,

300
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: if you were to have told me, and I thought

301
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: I was high coming into the year on him, But

302
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: through his first seven career starts, he's got ten touchdowns

303
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: only three giveaways, which I think is a very important

304
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: stat for a young quarterback completely number sixty percent of

305
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: his passes. I mean, they this offense overall has one

306
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: giveaway in four big ten. I mean they have been

307
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: very good in that regard, and that's without largely a

308
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: running game. Going into that Nebraska game last week, they

309
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: were averaging forty four rushing yards per game. Now, I

310
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: see it on your hat, and you're wearing a nice

311
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: little row of the Boat hat for PG and I'm

312
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: sure he appreciates that. Yeah, but our TV doesn't just

313
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: stand for row the boat in Dinky Town.

314
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: It stands for run the ball. Oh, it does.

315
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: And they hadn't been able to run the ball until

316
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: Darius came back last week. They've had four different offensive

317
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: line combinations and for their last four games, so they're

318
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: trying to figure it out. We'll see if they stick

319
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: with the same one in Iowa City. Four different line combos.

320
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: Different guys in different spots. Team has had sixteen or seventeen.

321
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, there's only so many games for this college team,

322
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: so they're trying. They're trying to figure it out up front.

323
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: It's trying to continue to build around Drake though. I

324
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: mean that's the thing with this is I don't think

325
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: the Buchnic environment is going to fluster him too much.

326
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: We've seen him in front of one hundred thousand in

327
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: Columbus and I thought he played largely very well.

328
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: It's hot, does the offensive line hold up?

329
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: But I just think what we've learned is it could

330
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: be pretty fun here with Drake, and I think Drake

331
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: is the player I thought Athan Kelly Acmanus is going

332
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: to be the biggest difference being with Drake, and you're

333
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: able to see it at the line is he's got

334
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: Max Brosmer's processor at a young age. They do as

335
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: much motion and shifts, and Drake has the ability to

336
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: adjust things with the line of scrimmage to what he

337
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: sees in the motion. And they tried to emulate kind

338
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: of an NFL offense. And I know that I was

339
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: talking to Tanner Morgan and I saw that he wrote

340
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: about it with chipskog Is. The Star community calls it

341
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: vikings junior with this offense, trying to give Drake as

342
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: much information pre snap as he can handle and then

343
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: he can make an adjustment to get them into the

344
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: right look. I mean, he is just a freshman, and

345
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: it's exciting to see a quarterback in Dinky Town be

346
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: able to know what he's looking for, adjust things at

347
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: the line, and you got to live in the moment.

348
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: I know everybody wants to talk about, well, we'll see

349
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: what happens after the season.

350
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: I feel like we did that last year with Coy Perrich.

351
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: I feel like we did that the last two years

352
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: with Darius Taylor, and last I saw they're going to

353
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: be very impactful players from Minnesota on Saturday.

354
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: The growth process with Drake, you think you think any

355
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: of that plays into the run game. I just I wonder,

356
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: you know, if he's getting multiple options, yes, he's gonna

357
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna make mistakes along the way here, and maybe

358
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: maybe that's part of just kind of finding the right

359
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: time to pull the string on this play or we

360
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: run into this side of the line and just making

361
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 1: those those checks, you know, kind of living with some

362
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: of those mistakes and those learning experiences along the way too.

363
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the offensive coordinator Greg Harbow and quarterback Drake Lindsay

364
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: have talked about that in recent weeks that they're getting

365
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: They're trying to get Drake better at getting them into

366
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: the right run looks where if they come out expecting

367
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: this look off the motion, well, Drake's got to be

368
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: able to then understand, Okay, I got to adjust to

369
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: play here or check from the id from say the

370
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 2: one technique defensive tackle. So let's go to the mic

371
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: linebacker instead. Get the guys up front knowing where they're

372
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 2: supposed to be blocking. That is certainly part of the

373
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 2: run game issues. It's not just the offensive line. It

374
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: also doesn't help this running offense that they missed Darius

375
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: Taylor for a month. Yeah, and Darius Taylor finally looked

376
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 2: like Darius Taylor last week, and they're gonna need him

377
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: down in Iowa City. But yeah, that is the part

378
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 2: of the learning curve for a young quarterback, especially with

379
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: all the things they continue to put on his shoulders,

380
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: is he's only gonna get better in theory.

381
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: Game after game after game, we're gonna pause, give you

382
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: a little cash giveaway bit, and then when we come back,

383
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: I want to drill down exactly what we might expect

384
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: to see tomorrow two thirty pm. It's Kennick. It's Floyda

385
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: Rosedale on the line, and Pj's got axes and he

386
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: just beats up all over Nebraska whenever he gets a chance.

387
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: A pig though, the elusive squealing pig. One and seven,

388
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: I believe, let's make it two and seven starting tomorrow.

389
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: But we're going to talk more about that with Gopher

390
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,640

Speaker 1: know how how much you follow the Bison.

401
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 2: I mean it's a big one. It's a big one

402
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 2: coming up here. Code a marker game, right, that's Tim

403
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: polse X crew.

404
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: Here's some sort of boulder or a physical rock on

405
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: the line the marker and it is just a rock right.

406
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: I'm also disappointed that college game Day isn't going to

407
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: be the But can you imagine the pre production meeting

408
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: with those folks trying to convince Nick Saban to go

409
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: to Brooking, South Dakota instead of Nashville.

410
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: Can you?

411
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 2: I say this with the utmost peace and love to

412
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 2: the folks in the Dakota's.

413
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: Okay, I've spent I've spent time off their times in Brookings.

414
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the Dakotas.

415
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: But can you imagine trying to convince Sabin we're going where?

416
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: No, we're not going there.

417
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: Even though I just listened to Saban on College game

418
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 2: Day last.

419
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Week, if he would make it a party, oh my goodness,

420
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: would enjoy himself.

421
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: There'd be some tomfoolery and skullduggery out there there.

422
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: Certainly would well, you know, go Bison go. I think

423
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: South Dakota they they've held serve at home against the

424
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: Bison in recent years. South Dakota State. We got to

425
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: make that in part. You're right, Yes, I apologize South Dakota.

426
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: State because we're gonna be talking about their former quarterback,

427
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: who I'm sure they wish that they had there this

428
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: weekend to help beat the Bison and Mark Ronowski down

429
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: there at Iowa. But yes, that's so. That's where I

430
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 2: was sold to Bill of Goods. Okay, I heard this is.

431
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: Like, hey, guys, turn on the tv. Iowa has a

432
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: QB that can throw it. That's not true. He hasn't

433
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: found his way through the air. Has an eclipsed. I

434
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: don't even think two hundred yards in a game, but

435
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: he is. He's got some legs and he's working his

436
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: way on the ground. Him and Molten providing and I

437
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: think I can't remember if it was Washington or another cat.

438
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: They might be working through some injuries or some health

439
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: issues with their running backs at this point. But is

440
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: it Kamani or Kamari Kamari Moulton. Kamari Moulton. He's going

441
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: to be kind of their lead back this weekend, but

442
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: him and Granowski on the ground serves to be quite

443
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: a challenge for Pj's team. It is. Yeah.

444
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: The Mark Gronowski experience has been very interesting for the

445
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: first i'll say two months down there in Iowa City

446
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 2: because they take him from South Dakota State and he

447
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: has the offseason shoulder surgery. Misses all of springball, gets

448
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: back over the summer and then has not been able

449
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: to be the passer that he was out there in Brookings.

450
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: I hear they think, you know, kind of like Jake

451
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: Browning in the Washington days, that the shoulder situation has

452
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: impacted him. There's the only thing that makes sense to

453
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: me as to why.

454
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 2: And I was looking at the stats earlier this week

455
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: and I didn't exactly believe them.

456
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: But it's true.

457
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: He's got no passing touchdowns in five picks against Power

458
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: four teams this year. Okay, they're only throwing it for

459
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 2: about one hundred and thirty yards per game in those games,

460
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: quick though, but where he is just so good and

461
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: he was out there for South Dakota State as well

462
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: as he's got ten rushing touchdowns.

463
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he is lethal in the red zone.

464
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 2: You saw it last week two with a seventy yard

465
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: scamper against Penn State. He's got more rushing touchdowns himself

466
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: than the entire Gopher football team. As we talked about

467
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: in the first segment, RTB means doesn't mean just me

468
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: and row the boat's run the ball.

469
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: Run the ball.

470
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 2: And he has been so so good in the red

471
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: zone for them, and that's going to be the biggest

472
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: key for Danny Collins in this Gopher defense is take

473
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: away Gronowski's legs, make him beat you with his arm.

474
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: Because it's not just Gronowski, it's also their pass catching cord.

475
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: They're without their best tight end out for the year

476
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: because of injuries, They've been banged up at receiver, and

477
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 2: then these interceptions. I watched one last week against Penn State,

478
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: just bounced off the guys essentially his chest into the

479
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 2: arms of a Penn State defender. I'm thinking to myself,

480
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: that's going to go down as an interception.

481
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: But that's not Gronowski's fault.

482
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 2: Right Where Iowa is so good this year, and you

483
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: mentioned Kamari Molten in the run game in Gronowski is

484
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: They're averaging almost two hundred yards a game on the

485
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: ground and they have one of the best offensive lines,

486
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: not only in the Big Ten, but in college football.

487
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 2: You look at PFF and you and I both agree

488
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: on this. I know it that PFF grades not the

489
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 2: end all be all for anything, certainly very much so

490
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: that is correct. But you look at who they can

491
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: be useful. They can be useful, and where I'm going

492
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 2: with this is you look at who the top five

493
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: graded players are on the Iowa offense. That's left tackle,

494
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: the right tackle, and they are all very very good.

495
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm watching guys like Brandon Thorn do cut

496
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: ups about them. That center and the right tackle are

497
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 2: going to be NFL top one hundred draft picks next year.

498
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: They're very good upfront.

499
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of Gopher fans remember what

500
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: they did in the second half against against their team

501
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: in hunting A Bank Stadium last year where Caleb Johnson

502
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: went absolutely bonkers in that whole game went pair shaped

503
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: very very quickly.

504
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: That's going to be the thing, is if you can.

505
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: Just dedicate yourself to stopping the run, which is a

506
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: lot easier said than done for many teams against Iowa

507
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: so far this year, and make Gronowski beat you with

508
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: his arm. Now, I'm also aware that many Iowa quarterbacks

509
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: have played like this coming into the Gopher game again

510
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 2: for the Pig Floyda Rosedale in the bit and then

511
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: the reincarnation of Brad Banks, or you can pick your

512
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 2: favorite Iowa quarterback over the years they come to play.

513
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: I remember the Alex Paedia bit a few years ago.

514
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 2: Comes in as the backup, and it's just slinging that

515
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 2: thing all over the and I know that Mike grim

516
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 2: is somewhere just losing his mind because that's happening. But

517
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: they have to be able to stop the run on Saturday.

518
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: You can't stop the run. This thing won't be close.

519
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 2: You have to stop the run on Saturday if you're Minnesota.

520
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: So is this going to look like the was it

521
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: the Purdue game where they went for like two sick?

522
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: Well that's that. That was my point. I mean, you

523
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: get to pick six and you still win it over

524
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: the boiler Makers, but my goodness, was that frustrating to watch.

525
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: Well that's the recipe for Saturday is if you are

526
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: going to give up that many rushing yards, you better

527
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 2: be at least plus I mean, they were plus three

528
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 2: in the take gift that day is you cannot go

529
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 2: into Iowa City. And maybe the maybe even a bigger

530
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 2: key than stopping the run is going to be you

531
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: have to be at least plus two in the take gift.

532
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: Yep, you can't go into Iowa City if you're PJ.

533
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: Fleck and he loves to try to do what Iowa

534
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: does on any given week and that's just control the clock,

535
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 2: run the ball, play good defense, make the other team

536
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: beat themselves. You're not going to out Iowa, Iowa in

537
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: Iowa City. That's a lot of Iowa's there. But that's

538
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: my point is you got to be at least plus two,

539
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: and that's where they were I think a couple of

540
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: years ago when Athan calliag Manus and then that whole

541
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: bit they went in one twelve to ten. I think

542
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: they were plus two or three in the take gift

543
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: that day. If you are just even and neither team

544
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 2: turns over the ball, I was going to win this game.

545
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: That's the way this thing goes in Iowa City. So

546
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 2: they got to find a way to turn over Gonowski

547
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: at least a couple of times, and then the offense

548
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 2: has to capitalize on those opportunities.

549
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: Well, bcembrace yourself for this. Big time Gophers opinion probably

550
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: Nordo nine to noon in for Papa and Studio, about

551
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: twenty some minutes from now. Twenty minutes from now, we'll

552
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: call it. They've averaged fourteen points per game on offense

553
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: over their last six, specifically fourteen they won with twelve. Okay,

554
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: took a weird play at the end of the game

555
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: to get there. A couple of years ago talking about

556
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota's offense against Iowa, Minnesota's offense man fourteen twelve, ten

557
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: twenty two, whoa offensive explosion? Seven nineteen, last six years. Man,

558
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: they cannot find their way into the end zone at

559
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 1: a high level down there, and that has to change.

560
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: It's a lot, yes, and I wish I had the

561
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: answer to how does that change?

562
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: It's Jalen Smith, the Mankato kid.

563
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we just got to get the piano off his

564
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 2: back when he was trying to get to into the

565
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: end zone there.

566
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: Now he I did watch that backs.

567
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 2: I know there were some text messages exchanged between some people.

568
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 2: Looked like he banged his knee the play before. And

569
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: you look, you're a high level athlete. Many people have

570
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 2: said that about your time down there in Mankato. Look

571
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: at you, I mean, come on now, you are mediocre

572
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 2: high school goalkeeper?

573
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: Was was my uh? I was listed as a prep

574
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: phenom once or twice in the oh look at you,

575
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: Mankato free press, Yeah, shut out against Winona, Yeah.

576
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 2: Big to you know, well, you've often told me if

577
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 2: you bang knees against somebody, it's gonna hurt for a

578
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: few minutes there and after that play he did go

579
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: into the injury ten and then was testing some things

580
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 2: on the sidelines and hit.

581
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: That's his bit, is Jalen Smith. Mankato kid needs to infori.

582
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: In theory is among the fastest players on this team,

583
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 2: and who's a great one hundred meter guy down there

584
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 2: for Mankato West as well.

585
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: But they've got to find ways to.

586
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 2: As you said, I mean, it's easier said than done

587
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 2: against Phil Parker. Phil Parker is one of the best

588
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: defensive coordinators in college football. But I look at this

589
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: IOWA team and think this isn't the twenty eighteen creatures

590
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: that head running around where it was Jack Campbell, aj Epanessa,

591
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: Chauncey Golston, among others.

592
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: And they were very, very good.

593
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 2: And they do have the Ragning Big Ten Player of

594
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: the Week at safety and Exavier to Walkba former five

595
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: star guy. But they have to find ways to When

596
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: you do get across Iowa's thirty yard line, you got

597
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: to convince the head coach to go for the jugular,

598
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: go for the shots in the end zone, go for

599
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 2: things that aren't going to result in a field goal.

600
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 2: Because playing for seven in Iowa City is what's going

601
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 2: to win you a football game, not playing for three.

602
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: There you go, I dig that. Just one or two

603
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: more for you here. I got several on this, but

604
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: I'll just read the most recent one from Tom. Is

605
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: there enough money in the Huntington Bank vault to keep

606
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: Drake and Maroony Gold? I just and I get it,

607
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: I get it. But that has to be one of

608
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: the most common questions you're getting now that we are

609
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: seeing Drake. You mentioned we're onto something special with him,

610
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: and just in the NIL universe, it's just, well, he's gone.

611
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: It's obvious he's going to be gone. He'll find his

612
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: way to the SEC next season, and maybe he replaces

613
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: Pavia down at Vanderbilt now that they're trying to build

614
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: something down there at some point. But you get my

615
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: point is everyone you see something you love and you're

616
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: immediately forlorn and the foreboding nature of well, he's obviously

617
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: going to leave in the portal next year. Any opinion

618
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: on that at all, or just enjoy what you're watching

619
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: at the moment you think he's gone.

620
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, justin Guard three to six thirty and myself and

621
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: Chipscoggins from the Start Tribute. We have a podcast called

622
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: Paronis Parra.

623
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: It's awesome for radio app.

624
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 2: It is and Justin went off on this this week

625
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: because we do get it a lot, and I understand

626
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: the question.

627
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: I don't blame people for asking the question. I would

628
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: just ask them this.

629
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 2: I heard it last year with Coy Parrots when he's

630
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: enjoying a first team All Big Ten season. I heard

631
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: it two years ago when it was Darius Taylor. I

632
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: heard it three years ago when it was Arion Terras three.

633
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: Joh Joyner, you don't have to be the highest one.

634
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: In the room to keep people.

635
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: Now, there is enough money I believe between Dinkytown athletes

636
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,479
Speaker 2: and the House Settlement that now the universe, he can

637
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: pay football players over fourteen million dollars. Now that's spread

638
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: out across all hundred something bodies, and we'll see what

639
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: Fleck and his general manager elect to give Drake. I

640
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: would also encourage people to look into Drake Lindsay's background

641
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: and see where he comes from. Where his grandfather, I believe,

642
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: was intertwined in business with someone who built a gigantic

643
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 2: stadium for the Dallas Cowboys. You may have heard of

644
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: him Jerry Jones. Those two were business partners together.

645
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, which means he's going to go back to Arkansas.

646
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: I just know. I look, the rooms are worried.

647
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: I understand that they're worried because anytime something good happens

648
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: in Minnesota sports. And I'll be the first one to

649
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: tell you, I'm a nineteen ninety two baby. I haven't

650
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 2: seen a pro sports team make a championship game in

651
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: my lifetime. For male pro sports teams, I know we

652
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: got to throw out that thing. I mean, I've seen

653
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty some seasons of it. Like anytime

654
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: something good happens, it's this market and I know it. Again,

655
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: I covered Gopher football for a lit What do you

656
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 2: think I grew up in in those Mason years of

657
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: the Brewster years. So I just would tell your your

658
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: point is what this person just texted in Nordo.

659
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: His family is loaded. The Lindsay's have their own suite.

660
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: So you're saying it's not it's not about money for

661
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: in my theory. My theory, and again I'm closer to

662
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: it than a lot of people. And understand that I

663
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: think that Drake Lindsay knows what his offensive coordinator and

664
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: Greg Harbo put the belief in him.

665
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: The same with Fleck. There's comfort in that too, there

666
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: is in the growth. There is a lot of comfort

667
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: in that. And look, if somebody wants to come in

668
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: and offer Drake, Drake Lindsay Carson Beck money. For those

669
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: of you who don't know Carson Beck is, he's Miami's quarterback.

670
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: They took him from Georgia. I think he's reportedly getting

671
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: over four million a year. I mean, that's how crazy

672
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 2: this thing can be. And I think Drake Lindsay is

673
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: worth multi millions of dollars in this market if he

674
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: wants it.

675
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: What is that?

676
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't always have to be about the money. Sometimes,

677
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: if you think.

678
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: The Arkansas kid wants to be I mean, do you

679
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: think he's Miami Lanbamborghini guy. Look, I don't think so.

680
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: I know that Drake Lindsay is one of us where

681
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: he grew up going duck hunting in the timber down

682
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: there with his dad.

683
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think Carson Beck might need

684
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: some more. And we're just a college eligibility because I

685
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to work in the NFL for

686
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: all back. Yeah, we're gonna find out.

687
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: Look, it's every situation is different. And I'm sure when

688
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 2: Arkansas does hire someone, and I even think about back

689
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: when when Fleck loves to talk about how he went

690
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: to his state championship game. You know who the Arkansas

691
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: newly hired offensive coordinated was that showed up at that

692
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: game trying to get in the ear of the Lindsay

693
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: family saying you should stay home. Bobby Patrino, who's now

694
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: the interim head coach.

695
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: For the Arkansas.

696
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 2: Look, I'm sure whoever the next razorback head coach is

697
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: going to look at the Lindsay's and.

698
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: Second Patrino like moped side piece bit. Yes, now Bobby

699
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: Patrino is.

700
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: Newly hired, he gets fired and then rehired because the

701
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 2: SEC we don't care.

702
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: We just want results.

703
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: It's a whole different bit down there than it is

704
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: up here in Big ten Country. Oh my goodness. All right,

705
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 2: enough of that. But anything is possible. You are to

706
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 2: I just I'm not worried about it right now.

707
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: Last last thing you doubted the Maroon and Gold a

708
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: week ago, I did. I picked Nebraska. I did, Oh, yeah,

709
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: what are we doing this time around? Because I was

710
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: reading your website and you had it looked like some

711
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: cohorts from Iowa. There was a very black and gold,

712
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: black and yellow tinted vibe to some of the analysis

713
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: and there leading up to this game. Where are we

714
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 1: going this time? I'm gonna lean Iowa right now.

715
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: I think eight and a half, nine and a half

716
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 2: wherever you want to find it at your favorite sports

717
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 2: book is too many points for me?

718
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: I think so too.

719
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is a game that both teams

720
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: want to do.

721
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this. PJ. Fleck loves UFC big.

722
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: He's a huge UFC guy and.

723
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: He's talked about all week that an Iowa type of

724
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 2: game is jab here, jab there, and then you try

725
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 2: to land one, one or two and you can't give

726
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: up the big play on the other side. And so

727
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a low scoring affair. But

728
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: I worry about the Iowa offensive line. They are just

729
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: they have been very good. This go for defensive line

730
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: has been incredibly, incan assistent for folks who do turn

731
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 2: on the game two thirty on CBS watch number double

732
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: zero for the Gophers on defense. He is the next

733
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: top sixty overall draft pick for them. Anthony Smith. Anthony Smith,

734
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: he has got nineteen and a half tackles for loss

735
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 2: in his last fourteen games. He currently leads the Big

736
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 2: Ten in sacks. He's one of the least talked about

737
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 2: players in the Big Ten for how good he is

738
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: and how good he will continue to be. They need

739
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 2: him to shine. And then the boy from Esco cooy Perrich.

740
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 2: He complain he needs to have his best tackling specific

741
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 2: game of this season because if this offensive line is

742
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: going to do what I think they're going to do,

743
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: and that's climb to the second level, get on the

744
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 2: Gopher linebackers, that's going to be cooy Perrich, carry Brown

745
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 2: Aiden Goosby one on one in space with Gronowski or

746
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: Kamari Molten. He's got to make the tackle to make

747
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: it second and three. You miss that, the seven yard

748
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 2: game turns into fifty seven and this thing gets pair

749
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: shaped in a hurry. It's got to be one of

750
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 2: bet Coy Parritch's best games.

751
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,040

00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: is on pause, of course until the spring. But the

775
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: NFL Pro Pick Them Challenge on Thursdays. I want to

776
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: remind you of that. I try to do it every

777
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: time because it's a cool way to win prizes on

778
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: a weekly basis. You just roll in on Thursdays, pick

779
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: the NFL games and who you think is gonna win

780
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: over the weekend, so you get weekly winners. Then at

781
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: the end of the season, somebody's gonna win free fuel

782
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: for a year courtesy of Quick Trips. So that's just awesome.

783
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: And Canterbury rocks right, So Canterbury Park dot com for

784
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 1: all event details. I was trying to pull some stuff

785
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: up here. I'm not finding at least elite new intel

786
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: on this gambling bit. That kind of rocked things, kind

787
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: of shook the cradle a bit. Yesterday in terms of

788
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: the FBI, Chauncey Billups coaches an l for his Blazers

789
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: on opening night against Anthony Edwards and the Wolves. The

790
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: next morning he's getting arrested by the FBI, and there's

791
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,959
Speaker 1: this illegal poker ring thing where he's luring in big

792
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: timers to play and basically brigg to poker games and

793
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: take all their money. I was watching something somebody had

794
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: posted a video. It's like a poker podcast from like

795
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three where somebody who's openly talking about like,

796
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: you know, I there's something wrong with that game. And

797
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: I just wonder how everything's digital now. There's so much

798
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: information that's immediately available where you know, everyone's got a

799
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: podcast now too, right, So I just wonder how long

800
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: the rumor mill was pushing before some of this came

801
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: to fruition. The FBI clearly has been investigating this for

802
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: a number of years. Damon Jones also in the mix,

803
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: Terry Rogier. He's just trying to get a pizza and

804
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: some chicken wings. Like Sean Holmes in the Bubble, He's

805
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: arrested outside a hotel in Orlando. So the thing's weird,

806
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: the thing's awful, and just waiting for more dominoes to

807
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: fall on that. Meanwhile, the World Series begins tonight Dodgers

808
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: and Jays in Toronto. The Dodgers heavily favored in this series.

809
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: They've lost one game all postseason, and I've seen Dodger

810
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: fans complaining about their bullpen a bit. Is that the

811
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: is that the Achilles Heel in terms of in terms

812
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: of their entire operation. But it's still pretty good, by

813
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: the way. And oh, when you have Yamamoto and some

814
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: of these guys rolling complete games in the postseason, well

815
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: that's a thing. So they do a pretty good job

816
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: protecting them. By the way, they hit for a hit

817
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: for a million. The Jays they're hitting three hundred as

818
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: a squad right now. Springer and vlad I think they

819
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: have ten or eleven home runs in the postseason combined. Yeah,

820
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: varshow and Luke's a couple of guys helping big time.

821
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: It's a fun matchup, But doesn't it feel again, the

822
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: Dodgers have just mowed people down. And the brew Crew

823
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: brew Crew, certainly with Miserowski and some pitching, you know,

824
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: they weren't built for ten run games on a nightly

825
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: basis and an absolute offensive shootout. But the way that

826
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: they were just absolutely neutralized in that NLCS series was

827
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: concerning if you're you know, whether you were going to

828
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: be the Mariners or in this case, the Blue Jays.

829
00:38:58,239 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: Just what the what the Dodgers were able to do

830
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,320
Speaker 1: and Otani, of course, the unicorn game in that finale

831
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: against the Brewers, the three home runs, the ten K's

832
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: unbelievable performance. Weird thing with Otani, kind of a meh

833
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: postseason leading up to that game, and he wasn't very

834
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: good last year either, But like the worst player on

835
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: their team is Max Munsey hitting at four hundred in

836
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: the right center. So it feels like the obvious answer

837
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: in the end is the Dodgers, although this series, if

838
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: it was to go seven, four of them are going

839
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: to be in Canada, up in Toronto at the Rodgers Center.

840
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: I saw this via fan duel for the Dodgers to

841
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: win in four games plus five fifty five games plus

842
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: two fifty six plus two ten and seven plus two

843
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: thirty five. Again, I need maybe I need to ask

844
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: Otani speaking of betting and such and weird stuff going on,

845
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: maybe I need to ask Otani's old interpreter. But the

846
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: FanDuel odds, I'm feeling five games for the Dodgers. We'll

847
00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: see Wolves tonight. No Lebron with the pecad sciatic the

848
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: nerve issue, all us old guys can relate. Certainly, Luca

849
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: went for forty plus and the loss to Jimmy Butler

850
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: and Steph Curry and the opener. Curry went off last

851
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 1: night again. By the way, some sweet ot games taking place.

852
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Gordon, of all people for the Nugs

853
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: last night went for fifty hit ten triples. Then you

854
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: have what was a fifty five to fifty six points

855
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: by SGA, and just some fun, weird games taking place

856
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: early in the season. Every game can be different, but

857
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: it was all Luca and Austin Reeves the other night,

858
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: and I wonder if that kind of stays the same.

859
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: DeAndre Ay and working his way in It's kind of

860
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: scrub city. Outside of that, I'm hoping that the Wolves

861
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: aren't losing games because of Gabe, Vincent, Hatchamura, Jackson, Hayes,

862
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: et cetera. But Marcus Smart, he only got twenty three

863
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: minutes in the opener. He is not the Marcus Smart

864
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: of the Boston Celtics days, certainly not even maybe Marcus

865
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: Smart of the when he was able to take the

866
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: freaking court in Memphis. However, Marcus Smart at one point

867
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: was like that bulldog that when you just needed some

868
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: defense and you needed attitude, you needed to irritate the

869
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: other team's best scorer, you just let him off the

870
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: leash and he goes to work. So I'm curious if

871
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: Marcus Smart albeit maybe in limited minutes plays a factor

872
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: into this game. Wolves are favored in LA. I hope

873
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: they win, so we'll see NFL matchups. Maybe we get

874
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: into that final hour with the host wild Tomorrow reminder

875
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,479

Speaker 1: Grand Casino Arena to five pm puck drop need two points.

877
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: The road trip was diseased. So that's where we're at

878
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,520

Speaker 1: of life. Paul Allen's going to be in studio and

883
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,680

Speaker 1: and then hopefully by Monday we can go full force ahead.

889
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: Who's going to be playing QB and how are we

890
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: going to beat them? Kiddies? But final hour is around
