1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot to get to today, Rick knew, I 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: whole join us in about twenty minutes. Mike Holngrin, so 3 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: a ton of football to get to. You know, you 4 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: heard me talking with Ian there and Crosstalk about my 5 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: dogs last night. You know, I feel like I feel 6 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: like there's a there's a very I'm a part of 7 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 1: a very small fraternity here in Seattle, those that still 8 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: love college basketball. Maybe it's bigger than I think, but 9 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's very good. And I can 10 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: I'm big, and I understand why. I mean, my son, Jackson, 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: will graduate from high school in two years and he 12 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: the Huskies have been to the NCAA tournament one time 13 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: since he was two years old. 14 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just it. 15 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 3: It's there's no excuse for a program in this city, 16 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 3: in this size of market, no excuse to be as 17 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 3: bad as they've been. 18 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. 19 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: And you know I was, I was thinking about turning 20 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: it off last night when it was a sixteen point 21 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 1: game with five minutes left, and I was like, let's 22 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: just see how the next minute or two go. And 23 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: God bless Mick Cronin. Everybody's a favorite crotchety old basketball 24 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: coach who decided to just tell his team, all right, 25 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: I just want you to hold the ball every possession 26 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: and let the clock run out over the last five minutes. 27 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: I really don't care if you get a good shot 28 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: or any shot. I just want you to hold the ball. 29 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: And that's what he did, and they got pretty much 30 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: no shots, and the Huskies just decided to chip it 31 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: down from sixteen to two and had a three ball, 32 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: but zoombialla with a chance to win at the buzzer. 33 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 4: So it was an exciting finish for those and it. 34 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: Looked like a good crowd, looked like a good crowded 35 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: heck aed yesterday the dog pack was in full effect. 36 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: And speaking of full effect, we saw the best Husky 37 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: basketball player in a long long time really get his 38 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: you know debut, you know, big ten debut, home debut 39 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: for real where a lot of people's eyes are on 40 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: Hannes Steinbach. And all he did was go eleven of 41 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: twelve for twenty nine points and ten rebounds. And it 42 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: seemed like every time he came out of the game. 43 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: I know he couldn't play every second because he was 44 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: coming off that ankle injury. Every time he came into 45 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: the game. It was different ference maker. It was it 46 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: was a tremendous offensive rebound put back. Here was a 47 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: kick to the corner for a shot there. It was 48 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: just he was a one man wrecking crew for most 49 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: of that game, and he just couldn't do it on 50 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: his own. And and fortunately for the Dogs, they got 51 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: some big Wesley Yates buckets down the stretch. They got 52 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: a couple of zoomed DIIALLA buckets down down the stretch. 53 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: Also a couple of really dumb fouls by the Huskies, 54 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: fouling UCLA three point shooters twice on three balls, getting 55 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: three free throws. That could have been the difference of 56 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: the game. But you know, as as Ian brought up Jackson, 57 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of frustrated fans out there. I mean, 58 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: there's fans that are already already calling for Danny Sprinkle's head. 59 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: I mentioned last night that every team on the planet's 60 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: gonna zone this team because they are showing a consistent 61 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: inability to shoot the three. And I put that up 62 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: there and and on Twitter and here, you know, here's 63 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: some of the responses. Same crap. Offense and defense. Different year. 64 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: I think my hopes for the season were too high. 65 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 1: H season is over, same old Husky. I mean, it's 66 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: just it's on and on and on, and they're only 67 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to They're gonna have to prove everybody wrong. 68 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: I think, Dick, if we're talking Husky basketball, I don't 69 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: think we can go to the route of x's and o's. 70 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: I think Husky basketball is in a state right now, 71 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: and they're very very different. Reasons why that these two 72 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: programs are in the states that they're in, But right now, 73 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 3: at this moment, I think we can talk about Husky 74 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: basketball almost like the same way we can talk about 75 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 3: the Sounders. Is that there is a very passionate fan 76 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: base of a smaller group than say the Seahawks will 77 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 3: say the Mariners a very very passionate and that's why 78 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: you see good attendance. That's why you see really intense 79 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: atmospheres at heck Ed at Luminfield for those games because the. 80 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: Fans who care, they care a lot. 81 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 3: But in terms of the masses, I think for a 82 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: program like Huskies basketball, it's different in the sense of it. 83 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 3: The reason why we're in the way we are is 84 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: because it's just been so bad for so long, and 85 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 3: people will care. The masses will care when big things 86 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: happen to these teams. When the Sounders are playing messy 87 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: in a championship in front of seventy thousand, when the 88 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 3: Huskies basketball team makes the incati of laterment, that's when 89 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 3: the masses and the casuals will care. But right now, 90 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: we're just in a state where there's it's a niche thing, 91 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 3: and there's a small group of really intense fans. But sorry, 92 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 3: because Huskies basketball has been crapped for so long, you're 93 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 3: you're just not gonna be able to talk. I think 94 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: in terms of the discourse about that program, we can't 95 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 3: even get to the x's and o's point stick. 96 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: We're not there. 97 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: The discourse needs to be about, God, can they just 98 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: actually win a few games in Big Ten play? 99 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 2: We're at that point right. 100 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: Now, I know, and I as you were saying that, 101 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: I was, I was envisioning what it was like when 102 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: I was at Fox Sports Grill for the Huskies Connecticut 103 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen game. Rich was there, Softy was there, just 104 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: every the whole station was there. Jack said, I don't 105 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: know if you remember Fox Sports Grill. It's kind of down 106 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: down in the basement. I think on like Fifth and 107 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: Pine or something like that was in downtown seapp We've 108 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: had a party down the bottom of that there, Jackson. 109 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: There was no room to stand in this entire place. 110 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: There must have been three hundred people crammed into this 111 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: place watching the big screen. 112 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 4: That's what it can be. That is what it has 113 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 4: been before. 114 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: And you know, let's see if it can be that 115 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: way again under Danny Sprinkle. We know what the mass 116 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: is like, though, Jackson. The mass is like the Seattle Seahawks. 117 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,679 Speaker 1: And I threw out a poll on Twitter a couple 118 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: of days ago, and I don't know if you saw 119 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: this or not, but I'll get you to answer whether 120 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: you saw it or not. 121 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 5: All right. 122 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: I was because I don't know what got me thinking 123 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: of this, but I was like, God, I don't know 124 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: how I would answer this question. And the question was 125 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: I think it was because I will look at the 126 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: odds for the Super Bowl and the Rams right now, 127 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: the prohibitive favorite at plus forty four to fifty. Seattle 128 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: is the prohibitive number two at plus seven fifty, and 129 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: then everybody else is at you know, ten to one 130 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: or longer. And I just asked the question on Twitter, 131 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: what would you take right now Rams Hawks to win 132 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl or the other thirty teams to win 133 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Would you take the two prohibitive favorites, 134 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: or would you agree entire field and not get the 135 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: best defense in football in Seattle and the best maybe 136 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: maybe the MVP and a great defense in the La 137 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: Rams and say no, I'm gonna say I'm gonna say 138 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: no to those elite NFC West teams and I'm gonna 139 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: go over here, you know, to the Patriots and the 140 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: Broncos and the Ravens and the Bills and the Chiefs, 141 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: who aren't really the Chiefs anymore. 142 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 4: What would you vote for? 143 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: Oh, that's a tremendous question. I almost always in these 144 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 3: questions go the field. 145 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's smart, But that's smart. 146 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 3: The rest of the NFL, I think, is just such mush. 147 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 3: I don't believe in the Colts. I barely believe in 148 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 3: the Patriots. I don't I barely believe in the Broncos. 149 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: I guess not really. I mean the NFC. We both 150 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 3: don't believe in the Bears. We picked against him in 151 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: Factor Fiction yesterday. Philly's been absolute trash for a while. 152 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 3: That offense is a high school offense right now, I 153 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 3: think I have to go with Seahawks. 154 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 5: Rams. 155 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: I said it last week, Dick to you and Softy 156 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 2: that I think. 157 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: That this year is very much like twenty thirteen when 158 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: it was Seahawks or Niners that was the Super Bowl. 159 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 3: I kind of feel like rams Seahawks, no matter where 160 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: they end up in the regular season, they're gonna be 161 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 3: on a collision course for somewhere in the playoffs, and 162 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: at this moment, the winner of that game wins the 163 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 3: Super Bowl. It's crazy to consider we are one of 164 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 3: those teams, but our defense has this one of those 165 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: teams well. 166 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: And also the winner of that rams Seahawks game, I 167 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: feel is going to be the number one seed in 168 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: the NFC. Agree, So they're gonna get home field advantage throughout, 169 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: and we know what that looks like in Seattle. It's 170 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: obviously not as big a deal in LA as it 171 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: is in Seattle, but still, you give Matthew Stafford and 172 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: that defense two home games to get to the Super Bowl, 173 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: I think you know they're gonna be. They would be 174 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: prohibitive favorites in both of those games, regardless of who 175 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: they played. And you mentioned the twenty thirteen team. I 176 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: saw this number, I got, I got tons of stats. 177 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: I won't get to all of them right now. 178 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: Will sprinkle it new, Yes, we'll. 179 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: Sprinkle them through the next the next few days. But 180 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, I was looking at how this team compared 181 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: defensively to that elite defense of twenty thirteen. And you 182 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: know there's you've heard EPA, right, Expected points added per play. 183 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 4: I wouldn't you know, begin to. 184 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: Explain it other than you get a percentage of a 185 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: point for each play that you run, and a six yard. 186 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 4: Play would be worth more than a one. 187 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: Yard play, and another negative five yard play would be 188 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: less than a ten yard play. 189 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 4: And they've got this all figured out. 190 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: Over the last seven games, the Seahawk defense has been 191 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,359 Speaker 1: by far the best in the NFL. They're at negative 192 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,359 Speaker 1: zero point three to six EPA per play. That seems 193 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: so basically, if the other team wanted to just run 194 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: the ball up the middle every play against the Seahawks 195 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: the last seven games, for like a two yard game, 196 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: that they would actually be better off than what the 197 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: Seahawks have done. 198 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 4: And you say, well, how is that possible? 199 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: Well, that well, that interception by Ernest Jones, that's like 200 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: a negative eleven and a half play because you just 201 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: took the ball away from them, you went ninety five 202 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: yards and scored a touchdown. And they've had a few 203 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: of those plays. Well, that EPA per play is better 204 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: than any seven game stretch of the twenty thirteen Seattle seis. 205 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: So the peak of what this team has done is 206 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: better than the peak of what that team did defensively 207 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: in that metric in twenty thirteen. 208 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 4: We had a bunch more to get to. We will. 209 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk some college football with our friend Rick 210 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: new His all right around the Corner live from the 211 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: five twenty bar Grill on ninety three point three KJFF. 212 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 6: Your home for college football Saturdays, is live with CBS 213 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 6: Sports analyst Rick new Heiseel, powered by Taco Time.

Hawaii minus 222 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: eight and a half against Wyoming, they win twenty seven 223 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: to seven. Rick, you are seven and two against the 224 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: spread in your last nine games. 225 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 5: My friend, I'm here for the people. I mean, what 226 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 5: else can I tell you? I'm here for the people. 227 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 5: I got out of blocks a little slow, I said, listen, 228 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 5: I looked at myself in the mirror, said you've got 229 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 5: to give them something that they need. And other than 230 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 5: Chris burritos, what else can I deliver? That's what I'm 231 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 5: trying to help you with. 232 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 4: I love it. 233 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: Can't wait for your taco time Pig of the Week 234 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: in about fifteen minutes or so. But let's start at 235 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: what we saw at Montlake on Saturday. It's just it 236 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: was unbelievable that the numbers on first down. Rick, I 237 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: did a little breakdown after the game because I was like, God, 238 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: it seemed like we were terrible passing the ball on 239 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: first down. They were two of eight with two interceptions 240 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: and two sacks on first down passes. Meanwhile, they carried 241 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: the ball fourteen times for one hundred and five yards 242 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: when they ran the ball on first down. Is there 243 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: a point where you just talk to your coordinators, you 244 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: talk to your coaches, and say, we're just not gonna 245 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: throw on first down anymore when it's that desparate. 246 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 5: Well, when you're looking at it after the fact, you 247 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 5: sat there and scratch your head and said, we should 248 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 5: never have thrown. But when you're talking about it talent 249 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 5: like Demon Williams, he just can't believe that he would 250 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 5: be that inconsistent. But there were signs of that at 251 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 5: the Rose Bowl the week before, even though it was 252 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 5: an easy victory. His accuracy and his rhythm to his 253 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 5: throwing in terms of the footwork tied to the arm 254 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 5: were off. And that's going to get fixed before they 255 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 5: play their postseason game because he's too talented to be 256 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 5: as inaccurate as he's been the last couple of weeks. 257 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: And then the defense just kept doing what the defense 258 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: has done all year long against everybody, the best teams, 259 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: the terrible teams, everybody in between. That they just kept 260 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: the dogs in the game, just like they did against 261 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: Ohio State, just like they did against Michigan, and the 262 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: offense just couldn't muster anything. 263 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 4: I mean, this defense carrying over for next year. 264 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this could be a top fifteen, top twelve 265 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: unit in America, can it? 266 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 5: There's no question? And Ryan Walters deserves a huge amount 267 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 5: of credit to put this team in the position that 268 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 5: they were in to corral an Oregon running game that 269 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 5: had run rough, shot over everybody. Unfortunately, when you do that, 270 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 5: you have to commit extra guys to the box, and 271 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 5: you know, Dante more was talented enough to you know, 272 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 5: hit some passes down the field and give the Ducks 273 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 5: the advantage. But a huge effort and a huge performance 274 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 5: by Ryan Walters in year one at Washington. 275 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: So how would you evaluate the irregular season overall? They 276 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: go from six and seven last year, six and six 277 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: in the regular season to I think a fairly predictable 278 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: eight and four. If you'd have told me at the 279 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: beginning of the year they were going to go eight 280 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: and four and they were going to lose to Oregon, 281 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: Ohio State, Michigan, and Wisconsin, I think you probably would 282 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: have said, Yeah, that sounds about right. 283 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 5: That's exactly right. I think it was a very good season. 284 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 5: I think the hope for that breakthrough game didn't quite materialize, 285 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 5: But there's no reason to think that after another year recruiting, 286 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 5: assuming that Jed has the same you know, kind of 287 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 5: caliber of class in the event and also the same 288 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 5: resources to go and cultivate a great class that you 289 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 5: won't have, you know, the game breakers that will be 290 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 5: the difference in those games that keep her from the 291 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 5: the the penthouse, I guess of the Big Ten, that's 292 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 5: where they're trying to get and that's where I think 293 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 5: Washington deserves to be. We'll see if they can get 294 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 5: that done. 295 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 7: Well. 296 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, twelve rank recruiting class helps, That's that's not bad. 297 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: So Jed did a nice nice job there. But Rick 298 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: Newizel joining us Rick. It seems like every three or 299 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: four years, Lane Kiffen is front and center in the 300 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: most newsworthy person in college football for one reason or another. 301 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 4: Is this more what. 302 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: We're what we saw with Kiffen over the last week 303 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: and really over the last month. Is this more of 304 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: a college football problem that will reappear on a regular basis, 305 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: or is this more unique to Lane Kiffen. 306 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 5: There is no question that it's awkward. There's no question 307 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 5: that it is awkward. He does not need to make 308 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 5: it this awkward. But college football is at fault in 309 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 5: terms of the calendar for coaches needing to make decisions 310 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 5: prior to making the change from one school to another. 311 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 5: Recruiting shouldn't be happening in the middle of a playoff run. 312 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 5: The transfer portal shouldn't happen in the middle of a 313 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 5: playoff run. This should all be different, and I hope 314 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 5: that someday it will be, because it just requires a 315 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 5: little common sense. But there's no question that Dismount Danny 316 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 5: otherwise known as Lane Kiffin has once again, you know, 317 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 5: busted a knee, busted an ankle. He just can't land it. 318 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 5: He just can't land it. It's just an impossibility for 319 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 5: the lad. 320 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: You know, eight of the nine top nine teams in 321 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: the rankings are from the Big ten or the SEC. 322 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: It just seems to me like the gap continues to 323 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: grow between the two super conferences and the rest. I mean, 324 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about potentially an ACC conference without any tournament 325 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: worthy teams. 326 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 4: So how long will there be talk about. 327 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: The four four two to one model if the ACC 328 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: and the Big twelve can't carry their weight? I mean, 329 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: are we going to see the talk go to five 330 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: five one one here in the future. 331 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 5: Well we're getting close to that anyway. And I think 332 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 5: that the ACC and Big twelve are seeing the writing 333 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 5: on the wall. Certainly Tony Pettiti is pushing for automatic qualifiers, 334 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 5: and the fact that they extended the deadline from December 335 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 5: first to January twenty third, I think they're going to 336 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 5: blow right past sixteen. I won't be shocked that we 337 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 5: go to twenty four and in so doing create automatic 338 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 5: qualifiers for all those other conferences so that they can 339 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 5: have play in games and create some more revenue for themselves. 340 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 5: It doesn't seem hard for Texas Tech, who have a 341 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 5: couple of billionaires that are financing their recruiting and their roster. 342 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 5: But not everybody's blessed with oil men at the at 343 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 5: the est of an athletic department. So fingers crossed that 344 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,239 Speaker 5: we can come to some common sense about the economics 345 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 5: of the game. 346 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned the play in games in the future. 347 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: This weekend, maybe a Big ten playoff weekend instead of 348 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: just a Big ten championship weekend. We've talked to Wilner 349 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: about it, about a three versus six game, a four 350 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: versus five game, But. 351 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 5: Now you're talking that's exactly what needs to happen. It's 352 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 5: silly for Ohio State in Indiana to risk their rosters 353 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 5: to injury this week for a game that doesn't matter. 354 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 5: I mean, it's nice to have a big ten plaque 355 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 5: on your wall, but it pales in comparison to a 356 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 5: national championship. And if we had three versus six and 357 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 5: four versus five, we could solve some of the Vanderbilt 358 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 5: problems some of the other problems in these other conferences. 359 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 5: USC would like to have a chance at this thing, right, 360 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 5: so everybody would like a chance, and that's what I 361 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 5: think is ultimately going to happen. 362 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: And what's interesting about that is had we had that 363 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: system this year, the Huskies Oregon game actually would have 364 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: been for a berth for the Dogs as the sixth 365 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: spot in the playing game, because if they would have 366 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: beaten Oregon, they would have had they would have been 367 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: in a tie with Iowa, and they would have held 368 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: the strength to schedule advantage by virtue of that win 369 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: over Oregon, and they. 370 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 4: Would have played Oregon again. 371 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: We could have had a situation where they play Oregon 372 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: last week at home and Oregon on the road at 373 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: autsin the next week. I mean, it would it would 374 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: have made last weekend a heck of a lot more 375 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: entertaining and interesting going into. 376 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 5: It, and the excitement for that would have been one 377 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 5: of those things that I think you could have been 378 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 5: absolutely felt. So that's that's that's the future. We're headed 379 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 5: that way, I promise you. 380 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: What is the intrigue of watching Ohio State Indiana this week? 381 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: I mean, is it just for Indiana to try to 382 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: get their first Big Ten championship game in forever? And 383 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: do you think they play harder than Ohio State because 384 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: Ohio State isn't really all that concern with. 385 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 4: Winning a Big Ten championship. 386 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 2: Oh, it looks like you just fell off when men 387 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: get Rick back here? 388 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 4: All right, no problem? Yeah, I think that's a How 389 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 4: cool would that have been? 390 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 5: Though? 391 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 4: The three versus six game? I mean I went back 392 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 4: and looked at it. 393 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: If you had a three versus six and a four 394 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: versus five on this coming weekend, championship weekend, the Huskies, 395 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: if they could have pulled off that win over Oregon 396 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: instead of being a meaningless game like it was because 397 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: of the Wisconsin loss that okay, the Husky game was meaningless, 398 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: it would have been very very meaningful. We got Rick 399 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: newheiselback Rick that Big Ten championship game coming up this week? 400 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: What is the intrigue? Why should I watch this game 401 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: when I feel like, oh, you know what, there's a 402 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: chance I could watch these two teams playing like four 403 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: weeks for a national championship. 404 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 5: Well, the big thing in this game is the quarterbacks 405 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 5: because they're playing for a Heisman trophy. If Julian Sayan 406 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 5: has a monster game, he's gonna be the straight arm winner. 407 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 5: And if Fernando Mendoza has a monster game, he's going 408 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 5: to be the straight arm winner. That will be the case. 409 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 5: If neither has a great game and this is a 410 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 5: defensive tug a tug of war, then we're going to 411 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 5: see Diego Pavia from Vanderbilt win the Heisman. So there's 412 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 5: some intrigue involved. I just hope that Ryan Day and 413 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 5: Kurt Signetti watched eleven guys get up every time as 414 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 5: the tray piles on this field in Indianapolis be terrible. 415 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 4: Somebody got hurt for this one. 416 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: In before the playoffs, Rick, if Texas would have played 417 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: McNeese State instead of Ohio State in the first week 418 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: of the season and they finished ten and two, would 419 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: they have been in the playoffs? 420 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 5: Based on the brand I mean, that's the same as 421 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 5: as Alabama being in the playoff at ten and two 422 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 5: having lost to Florida State. It's the same as Notre 423 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,719 Speaker 5: Dame being ten and two having started the season zero 424 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 5: and two. We believe in brands, which is why the 425 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 5: Elliott Eli drinkwitz Is of the world want automatic qualifiers. 426 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 5: We don't start the season believing that Vanderbilt or Missouri 427 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 5: or Texas Tech can be great. We end up learning 428 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 5: that they can be Why use eleven and one that 429 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 5: still sits at eleven? But the brands, if they get 430 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 5: to that number, they're in because they resonate and they 431 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 5: sit in our minds as quality football programs, and they 432 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 5: also draw television ice. 433 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: Is that going to make coaches fearful, especially big time programs, 434 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: fearful to schedule those cross conference games because they can 435 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: just say, hey, cautionary tail. 436 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 4: Look at Texas. 437 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: All they needed to do is play Idaho instead of 438 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: Ohio State and they'd be in the playoffs. 439 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 5: I think the television people have too much clout for 440 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 5: them to be able to stop scheduling good games for 441 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 5: television content. So what I think is going to happen 442 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 5: is we're going to have some deals made amongst the 443 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 5: Power conferences that rely on where you finished. If a 444 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 5: SEC finishes number one, then they're going to get an 445 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 5: SEC one schedule, which means that they'll play the number 446 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 5: one team at the Big Ten next year, they'll play 447 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 5: the number two team from the Big twelve at home, 448 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 5: and they'll play the number four team from the ACC 449 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 5: on the road. You can understan, you can follow my 450 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 5: logic here. Then they're going to have predetermined schedules that 451 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 5: all create great television content, but hit the good teams 452 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 5: against good teams so that we get some parody, and 453 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 5: these other teams that are sitting in your struggle to 454 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 5: keep up with the Joneses in their Power conferences can 455 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 5: get some chances to have a little bite at the apple. 456 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: Well to your point, if they go to a twenty 457 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: four team, then you can do more of those things 458 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: because coaches aren't afraid to lose those games because you know, 459 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: if you're sard, you're like, we're going to make the 460 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: twenty four team playoff regardless. 461 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 5: Well you should, but you have to win, and the 462 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 5: television content for the fans and for everybody is important. 463 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 5: So my belief is that that will be the. 464 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 4: Case you mentioned BYU. 465 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: They are stuck between Miami and Notre Dame right now. 466 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: So if BYU loses this weekend, then presumably Miami and 467 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: Notre Dame would be next to each other, and the 468 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: tournament committee, the playoff committee chers said, hey, we really 469 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: haven't judged Miami a Notre Dame because they haven't been 470 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: next to each other. There's a thought that now the 471 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: head to head matchup that Miami one would be looked 472 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: at more closely if they're next to each other in 473 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: next week's poll. 474 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 4: So could you actually. 475 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: See Miami jumping Notre Dame in that scenario or are 476 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: they pretty much stuck where they are? 477 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 5: I think the committee chair, the athletic director, Markansas, said 478 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 5: that they were in the same pool this last couple 479 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 5: of weeks and still they felt Notre Dame was ahead, 480 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 5: which is incredibly confounding given the fact that every tiebreaker 481 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 5: I've ever known and the same schedule, if you played 482 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 5: each other, then it's head to head, and yet we 483 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 5: still see Notre Dame ahead of Miami. But that being said, 484 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 5: if they changed that with not either team playing this week, 485 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 5: it would be completely ridiculous And I just don't know. 486 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 5: We can trust the committee. Not that I am calling 487 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 5: anybody out as not doing their job. I just think 488 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 5: the committee thing is very very close to the ap 489 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 5: which means that you're just kind of going by wins 490 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 5: and losses and favorite teams. 491 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: All right, Rick, I can feel your heat through the phone. Man, 492 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: You're absolutely on fire. Seven and two off your Taco 493 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: Time pick of the week over the last nine weeks. 494 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: I'll take a couple of Chris beef burritos and some 495 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: tater fries and the coke. 496 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 4: That'll be my pick of the week. What is yours? 497 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 5: We are going with the Ohio State Buckeyes. They're laying 498 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 5: five and a half. And as much as I love 499 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 5: Kurt Signetti and I am a devout parishioner at the 500 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 5: Church of Signetti, I believe the buck Eyes with their 501 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 5: unbelievable stable of wide receivers and a quarterback that's hitting 502 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 5: close to eighty percent of his passes and a defense 503 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 5: that has held opponents that less than one hundred points, 504 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,959 Speaker 5: no other team is even close to that.

Fact door Fiction is on Sports Radio ninety 519 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 7: three point three kjr FM. 520 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: All Right, Jackson, the Indianapolis Colts started seven to one. 521 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: They were, as the old folks say, the cats meow 522 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: at the end of October. I'm even not old enough 523 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: to say cats meow on a regular basis, but that's 524 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: what my grandma would have. They have lost two in 525 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: a row and three of four. Daniel Jones this week 526 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: says he's feeling better. In fact, he said he got 527 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 1: a sleeve for his injured arm that was created by 528 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: a three D printer from his old classmates of dupe. Okay, 529 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: not that that really makes a difference. I just thought 530 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: that was. 531 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 2: An experienced word. 532 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 4: They have got to win this week if they want 533 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 4: to win the division. And here's why I say this. 534 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: They are at eight and four, they are tied with 535 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: the Jaguars for first place. If the Colts lose at 536 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: Jacksonville this Sunday, they will be a game back. Here's 537 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: what they got next at Seattle, San Francisco at Houston 538 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: Murderers Row. 539 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 4: This is the easiest. 540 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: Game they've got this month. They have got to win 541 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 1: this game. Meanwhile, the Jags have home games against the 542 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: Jets home against Tennessee left on their schedule, so the 543 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: Jags have a massive scheduling advantage. You better believe the 544 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: Colts know that they are treating this as they must win. 545 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: They are one and a half point favorites on the 546 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: road in Jacksonville. Give me Danny Dimes and the Indianapolis 547 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: Colts minus one and a half against Jacksonville. 548 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet on the Colts last week and missed 549 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 3: on that one against the Texans. And I think it's 550 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 3: just the Texans are a really really good team. I 551 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,959 Speaker 3: don't think the Jacksonville Jaguars are a really really good team. 552 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 3: I don't think they have great weapons on offense and 553 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 3: that defense hasn't impressed Indianapolis. I think, Dick, we both 554 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 3: agree at some point they're gonna go back and look 555 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 3: like the seven. 556 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 2: And one team. 557 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor is gonna turn back into Jonathan Taylor. I 558 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 3: think this is the week to do it. The running 559 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 3: game will travel, so only one and a half. They 560 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 3: just need to win by two or easy field goal. Yeah, 561 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 3: I'm going with you on this one. 562 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 7: Yep. 563 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: That Houston team's tough man, There's no question about. They've 564 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: played two really good defenses the last two weeks. They've 565 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: played at Kansas City and Jonathan Taylor was held to 566 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: fifty eight yards on three point six yards of carry. 567 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 4: Last week he got four yards. 568 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: Of carry, twenty one yard twenty one carris for eighty 569 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: five yards against that awesome Houston defense. He goes over 570 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: one hundred, he gets it the end zone and the Colts. 571 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 3: So, Dick, I mean you talked about the Jaguars schedule, 572 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 3: in the Colts schedule, keep in mind the Texans are 573 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: only one game back. They finished though with Kansas City, Arizona, Vegas, 574 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 3: and then also as you mentioned, they have the Colts 575 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 3: coming up and the Chargers, so they got a little 576 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 3: bit of a mix of the two other teams, but 577 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 3: Texans are right there too. This is this is a 578 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 3: crazy division. 579 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 4: Now it's gonna be fun. 580 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: We'll take a look in the five o'clock hour at 581 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: some of these crazy games coming up this weekend, because 582 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: there are some huge divisional championship type games coming up 583 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: this weekend.

I think they'd get 600 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: their young running backs for tonight. And then it takes 601 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 2: shouts to your favorite guy, Cortland sudden. 602 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm looking at what. 603 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 4: I forgot the crumbs of Washington defense from that group. 604 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,719 Speaker 4: That's the way to attack that group tonight. Do you 605 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 4: believe the best way to tackle what you see from Washington? 606 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, they just don't have It's. 607 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: A lot of stuff going on down. 608 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 6: Sorry, they don't have a lot of discipline on the 609 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 6: defensive side of the ball. 610 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it. 611 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 3: They sure don't, man, And I want to get over 612 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 3: to something else to coach, because I was. 613 00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: Looking at bow Nick. 614 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 4: Holy smoke, I hadn't heard that Jackson. 615 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, really bad. Actually, what's funny? 616 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 3: And now it's funny because he wasn't anything bad, but 617 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 3: a lot of people were like, is he okay? Did 618 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 3: like is something going on with him? Like health wise? 619 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 3: And there isn't anything going on with him in health wise. 620 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 3: But that was rough that, I mean, was. 621 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: He his mind was just wandering or something? And then 622 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: he forgot the question and then wasn't prepared for the 623 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: answer even once. 624 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 4: He knew what the question. Yes, I don't know. 625 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you never know what those situations due rot 626 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: Rodney Harrison hit people really really hard in the NFL. 627 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, I mean, I mean yeah, he says 628 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 3: it's nothing health oriented, so that's good. But man, like, 629 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 3: if you're if you're a highly paid analyst on on 630 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 3: NBC Sun and Night football, dude, that cannot happen, can't. 631 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 4: Hey Jackson, did you hear that? 632 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: That's on Ben Roethlisberger's Football in podcast This week, the 633 00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: former Steeler quarterback suggested that Pittsburgh should clean house and 634 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: his former head coach, Mike Tomlin should go coach at 635 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: Penn State. 636 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 9: It's being talked about around here a lot. Maybe it's time. 637 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 9: Maybe it's a clean house time. Maybe it is. Maybe 638 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 9: it's time. And I like coach Tomlin. I have a 639 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 9: lot of respect coach Tomlin. But maybe it's best for 640 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 9: him too. Maybe a fresh start for him is what's best, 641 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 9: whether that's in the pros, whether maybe go be Penn 642 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 9: State's head coach. You know what he would do in 643 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 9: Penn State. He'll probably go win national championships, legitimate because 644 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 9: he's a great recruiter. 645 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 2: What is the reality of something like that happening in Pittsburgh. 646 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 2: It seems so uncharacteristic. 647 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 4: It is. 648 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 9: You don't fire a guy like coach Tomlin. He's a 649 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 9: Hall of Fame coach. He's respect. What you do is 650 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 9: you come to an understanding and agreement and it's like, hey, listen, 651 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 9: I think it's probably best for both of us. Give 652 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 9: him a statue, whatever you gotta do, because he deserves it, 653 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 9: he's earned it. But it's it's like, Okay, it's time 654 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 9: to find that next guy. 655 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: I've been around this world for fifty one years and 656 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: I have only seen three Pittsburgh Steelers head coaches. 657 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, so yes, they do. 658 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 4: Not like to fire head coaches. 659 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: But I do think that it's very similar to what 660 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: we saw here with Pete Carroll. 661 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 4: You know, great job, super Bowl championship. 662 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: But it's just it's just not elevating to the level 663 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: that we needed to elevate, and it's probably better off 664 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: for both. 665 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 4: I think it's better off for the Steelers. 666 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: That they move on, and I think Mike Tomlin will 667 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: land someplace, whether it's college or the NFL, and he'll 668 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: land in a place that needs a leader, that needs 669 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: a motivator, that needs a culture guy, and he's as 670 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: good at. 671 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 4: Culture guys we've seen in the NFL the last twenty years. 672 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 2: Totally. 673 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 3: I just he's a good enough coach to have success anywhere. 674 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 3: The funny thing about that whole clip, you know, we 675 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 3: could just play the first half and talk about the 676 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 3: whole Penn State thing and talk about the whole cleaning 677 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 3: house thing. The interesting thing was the second part where 678 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 3: Roethlisporter is like, you don't fire a coach like Tomlin. 679 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 3: You just talked to him and say it's best if 680 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 3: we both part ways. Well, Ben, that's called firing somebody, 681 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 3: my friend. 682 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: Isn't that kind of what the Seahawks did, though, yes 683 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: it was. It was fired out that they It wasn't 684 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: put out that Pete Carroll was fired this way. 685 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 3: Stupid language in the sports world these days. We had 686 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 3: a mutual parting of ways. That's such bs. If you 687 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 3: say we had a mutual parting of ways, you fired him? 688 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, so so Pete, if you wanted to have come 689 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: back and coached the Seahawks and next year, would you have. 690 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 4: Been able to No? I would not have. Okay, then 691 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 4: you got fired, got fired? Hey Jackson, do you hear that? Oh? 692 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 4: We got another. 693 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 2: Rains, this is good. It connects all right. 694 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's comments reminded us of a Mike Tomlin press conference 695 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one where the head coach exploded after 696 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: reporter asked about folks making connections between him and college 697 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: coaching jobs. 698 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 10: Mike, at any point in your coaching career, did you 699 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 10: ever have an interest or express an interest in being 700 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 10: a head coach in the college game? And do you 701 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 10: have any idea how that may or may not have 702 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 10: led to folks like Ryan and Doug Whaley and Carson 703 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 10: Palmer connecting you to some college jobs. 704 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 8: Hey, guys, I don't have time for that speculation. I mean, 705 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 8: that's a joke to me. I got one of the 706 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 8: best jobs in all of professional sport. Why would I 707 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 8: have any interest in coaching college football. That'll be the 708 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 8: last time that I address it, and not only today, 709 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 8: but moving forward. Never say never, but never. Okay, anybody 710 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 8: else got any questions about any college jobs? Is not 711 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 8: a booster withold. 712 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 2: A big enough blank check anyone else? 713 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 3: Thank you? 714 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 8: Anybody asking Sean Payton about that? You know, anybody asking 715 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 8: Andy Reid about stuff like that? 716 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: Well, in the last four years, I would say, the 717 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: blank checks in college football have gotten astronomically larger than 718 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: they were when Mike Tomlin made that statement four years ago. 719 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: But I would bet that he does not end up 720 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,919 Speaker 1: at Penn State. I would bet that he ends up 721 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: in the NFL Giants, how about the Dolphins. How about 722 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: the Dolphin finally hire a guy that's kind of an. 723 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 4: Ass shoer down there. 724 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, they have just been the squishy, softest franchise in 725 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,760 Speaker 1: the NFL most of the since Don Schuller. 726 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 3: I think it's one of those things where you need 727 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 3: to be able to give him some run, Like I 728 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 3: don't think you're gonna you can bring it into an 729 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,439 Speaker 3: organization that's so used to just funneling through guys every 730 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 3: couple of years, like the Giants. Miami's a interesting one 731 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 3: because they've given m McDaniel that run. So you just 732 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 3: need to say, listen, man, you're gonna give you five 733 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 3: years and we're then we're not gonna fire you, and 734 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 3: we're just gonna let you build that culture. Because he's 735 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 3: a very big culture guy. But yeah, I'm I'm with 736 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 3: you wherever he lands. I just that's gonna turn into 737 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 3: a playoff team eventually. 738 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 4: Let's ask Mike Holnger. Yeah, he's gonna join us. 739 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: Coming up, we'll find out where does Mike Holmgran think 740 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: that Mike Tomlin would work? 741 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 4: We will, we'll ask. I'm sure he knows Mike Tomlin 742 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 4: pretty well. 743 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: Three fifty five on ninety three point three KJFM The 744 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: Coach The Big Show coming up for the next hour 745 00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,399 Speaker 1: on ninety three point three kJ ref
