How 24 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: are you man, I'm good, That's what your phone just 25 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: sounded like. Now let's try to get John how. 26 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 5: Are you good? Things? How you guys much better? 27 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's uh, let's talk about first of all, what 28 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 2: we saw last Saturday. You dubbed Michigan. We haven't had 29 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: you on since that game. We're going to preview of 30 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: the game tomorrow with Illinois. But my god, man, Jed 31 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 2: Fish and you dubb tied at seven and a half, 32 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: and they got a great shot in the second half 33 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: to get a really nice win for the programming in 34 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: the offense, and DeMont Williams just fell apart man in 35 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: the second half of that game, soll apart. 36 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 6: I mean, it was a lot like the use of 37 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 6: the Ohio State game. Frankly, in both instances, the offense 38 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 6: didn't really do anything in the second half, and Michigan 39 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 6: confused Williams and you know, they can't get Jonah Coleman going. 40 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 6: I can't remember the last time he had a big game. 41 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 6: It was probably maybe Colorado State or you see Davis. 42 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 6: But I think a lot of it starts there other 43 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 6: teams are basically loading up to stop Coleman and they're 44 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 6: gonna dare Williams to beat them from the pocket, and 45 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 6: the good against the good defenses, he hadn't really been 46 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 6: able to do that. 47 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: Well, that's leading me into the next question, John, excellent 48 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 3: job there. I mean, how worried should we be that 49 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 3: when he plays at Penn State in Oregon in a Michigan, 50 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 3: Ohio state he just doesn't look the same? Should be 51 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 3: worried or should we remind ourselves he's nineteen years of 52 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 3: age too. 53 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 6: Yet, I think that's important thing to keep in mind 54 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 6: for sure, And the fact that you know, he played 55 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 6: so well last year and there was a lot of 56 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 6: hype and then the huge game. Early on, he's shown 57 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 6: so many flashes of what he can be that it's 58 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 6: easy to kind of get to forget that he has 59 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 6: a big learning curve, especially against the best defenses in 60 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 6: the Big Ten. And you know, we saw what happened 61 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 6: against Rutgers, but that is just so misleading. Rutgers defense 62 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 6: is terrible now. Fortunately for the Huskies, you know the schedule, 63 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 6: there's some real winnable games and some mediocre defenses coming up. 64 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 6: But certainly, it seems like they are a big step 65 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 6: away from being able to execute well enough to beat 66 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 6: the best teams in the conference. 67 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really feels like this game tomorrow against Illinois 68 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: is kind of the difference between maybe an eight win 69 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 2: season and potentially a ten win season if they can 70 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: get a bowl win. By the way, So we'll talk 71 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 2: about tomorrow in a second, But John, go back to Jorona, 72 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: Cooma for a second. He has not had one hundred 73 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: yard game in his last seven Big Ten games going 74 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: back to last year. 75 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 5: Are we good? 76 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 7: We're good? 77 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 5: Somebody talking to John in three? 78 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 7: I gotcha? 79 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 5: Oh right, yo. 80 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on here, man, We're not 81 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: paying our phone bill properly. He has not had a 82 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: one hundred yard game and seven consecutive Big Ten games 83 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: going back to last year. He's averaging three and a 84 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: half yards per carry in Big Ten games this season. 85 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: And I guess you know, Dick and I were kicking 86 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: this around the other day. Do we just chalk that 87 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: up to injuries to the offensive line because a lot 88 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: of people thought, hey, man, Jodah Coleman is a beast, 89 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: doesn't matter, he'll be able to find yards. No, matter 90 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: where they are, he's that good and we're finding out 91 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: it's not happening like that. 92 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 3: I think some of. 93 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 6: It is the injuries, and some of it is just 94 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 6: the offensive line. Especially last year it didn't seem like 95 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 6: it was up to the standard of an elite Big 96 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 6: ten offensive line. So, you know, I think it's a 97 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 6: combination of things, all of which start up front. And certainly, again, 98 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 6: if you're a defensive coordinator and you're seeing that, you 99 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 6: know there's a freshman quarterback, there's a lot of things 100 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 6: you can do to kind of get Washington off schedule, 101 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 6: out of sync, and the injuries up front are just 102 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 6: adding to that. 103 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 7: All right. 104 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: John Softy teased it the Dogs or the dog tomorrow 105 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 3: at Husky Stadium. 106 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 6: You know, I think Illinois is not nearly as good 107 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 6: as Ohio State, obviously, but way better than Rutgers and 108 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 6: better than Maryland. I think it's gonna be in doubt 109 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 6: with five minutes to go, but I also think Washington 110 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 6: will find a way to win. What's the line right 111 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 6: now for I think I'd probably take the Huskies, but 112 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 6: I do think it will be close. This is not 113 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 6: gonna be like their previous home games against Rutgers and 114 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 6: the non conference it's gonna be tight. 115 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, did you change your mind on that? 116 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 3: By the way, because you had in the paper you 117 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 3: had plus four point five and this is a different 118 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 3: John Wilner writing in the Seattle Times. 119 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 6: I don't even remember what I wrote. Did I pick Illinois? 120 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, plus four and a half. You didn't say that that. 121 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: You did not specify whether they would win or not. 122 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: You just picked plus four and a half. 123 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 6: Oh yeah. I mean, I've been going back and forth 124 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 6: because I do think it's gonna be close. And the 125 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 6: fact Illinois had two weeks to get ready is a 126 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 6: big deal. The fact that the Huskies are coming off 127 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 6: a bruising game and are banged up is a big deal. 128 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 6: And Illinois has got you know, they've got a competent 129 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 6: offense at a good quarterback. So I think this is 130 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 6: going to be a challenging game for the Huskies. But 131 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 6: you know, it's one of those deals where you score 132 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 6: with three minutes to go and you cover a four 133 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 6: point spread. 134 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:19,239 Speaker 5: Yeah. 135 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 2: Well, we keep basking you every single week if you 136 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 2: CLA is for real and UCLA just keeps winning. I mean, 137 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: Penn State, Michigan State, Maryland now they got Indiana and 138 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: I got I kind of feel like UCLA can win 139 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: by losing if they. 140 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 5: Just cover that spread. 141 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: People might be impressed by UCLA this weekend against Bloomington. 142 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 5: So are in Bloomington. 143 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: Is this where the UCLA train flies off a clifford? 144 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 5: Does it keep charging? 145 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 6: I don't think they're going to win the game, But 146 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 6: keep in mind the teams you just rattle off. Michigan 147 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 6: State winless in the Big Ten, Maryland I think is 148 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 6: one in three, and Penn State is winless. Those teams 149 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 6: are one and eleven in conference play. UCLA has not 150 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 6: beaten anybody that's good. Well, they played Northwestern close in 151 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 6: the first game with the interim coach, but they've been 152 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 6: beaten up on the bad teams in the Big Ten, 153 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 6: and there's actually a fair amount of bad teams in 154 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 6: the Big Ten. The bottom of the conference is terrible. 155 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 6: But I do think that they will play pretty well. 156 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 6: But it's hard for me to see them winning a 157 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 6: game outright in Bloomington, Indiana. I was in Eugene and 158 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 6: they just took it to the Ducks at the line 159 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 6: of scrimmage. And if you can do that to Oregon, 160 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 6: you could certainly do it to UCLA. 161 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 3: Well, John, Obviously, sports gambling is in the news this week, 162 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 3: there's no question about it. And we haven't gotten a 163 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 3: chance to ask you since the D one Council approved 164 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: gambling on pro sports for college athletes. Your thoughts on 165 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: that and if D two and D three are going 166 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: to fall suit. 167 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 6: YEP announced that the day before the NBA scandal. If 168 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 6: I'm not mistaken, it was Wednesday, and that had been 169 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 6: something This is a long time coming, and the NCAA 170 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 6: and its membership have been discussing the gambling issue for years, 171 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 6: and especially what they should do about the pro sports situation. 172 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 6: And I think what they're doing is actually the smart, 173 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 6: proactive move, because there's no way they were going to 174 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 6: stop kids from gambling on the NBA or the NFL 175 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 6: or whatever it is. If you put if you make 176 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 6: it legal, you're bringing sunshine to the problem and you 177 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 6: are allowing you are allowing the oversight mechanisms to do 178 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 6: their job, both the casinos themselves and also the firms 179 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 6: like US Integrity that have partnered with the conferences and 180 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 6: are tracking for improper bets. 181 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 7: Right. 182 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: Well, and here's the issue, and this was brought up 183 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 2: by somebody I know in the industry, in Ky's athletics, 184 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: who said the fear that a lot of administrators have 185 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 2: is that when you allow eighteen nineteen twenty year old 186 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: kids to gamble on sports, if they get in trouble 187 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: and they owe somebody money, what's the easiest way they 188 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: can pay them back by influencing a game. They have 189 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: that ability, Unlike Joe Q Public and some nineteen year 190 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: old in college, is that a concern of yours? John, 191 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 2: that if these kids make mistakes, and let's face it, 192 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: they're still kids and they get involved with the wrong people, 193 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 2: they'll be asked to pay it back by throwing games. 194 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 7: Oh. 195 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 6: I think that's a legitimate fear. But I also don't 196 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 6: know that that issue didn't exist before, right right, I mean, 197 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 6: kids have been gambling. We had that issue with it. 198 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 6: What was it Iowa or Iowa State had all those 199 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 6: kids that were caught. I just think the oversight mechanisms 200 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 6: are really good and should pick up on most of 201 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 6: that stuff. But I think it's inevitable, and it would 202 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 6: have been inevitable to me even if the NCAA had 203 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 6: not legalized it. And quite frankly, I think there's a 204 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 6: better chance of them catching stuff now that they've made 205 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 6: the move they have. 206 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 3: Good Good John tell us about the latest in the 207 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 3: Mountain West PAC twelve case and heat it up again today. 208 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 6: Well, yeah, the Mountain West file the counter claim. It's 209 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 6: mostly procedural role. But what they're saying is the PAC twelve, 210 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 6: Washington State, Oregon State in the conference office. 211 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 4: You know, they. 212 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 6: Maneuvered behind the scenes to undermine and disrupt the Mountain 213 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 6: West and so they're you know, they are claiming the 214 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 6: PAC twelve should be uh losing court on a certain 215 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 6: couple accounts. I don't know that that's gonna that that's 216 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 6: gonna hold up, to be honest, The big thing is 217 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 6: that this case is gonna go for a long time. 218 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 6: It's gonna go well into next year. And so to me, 219 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 6: are the presidents gonna want to go through the discovery process? 220 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 6: Are the presidents gonna want to pay these attorney fees 221 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 6: for the next year? And is the Mountain West gonna 222 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 6: want to Are the schools gonna want to wait not 223 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 6: knowing if they're gonna get the money that's and promised. 224 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 6: I think there's going to be a settlement, would be 225 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 6: in my guests in the next couple months. 226 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 5: John Wilder is with us. 227 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: You know, guys, it's funny you kind of realize all 228 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 2: of a sudden that five weeks from tomorrow is the 229 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: last game of the regular season. 230 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 5: I mean it's going to be over. In five weeks 231 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 5: is the Oregon game. 232 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 2: So it goes by very fast, and when the offseason comes, 233 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: there's going to be a lot of topics that we've 234 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 2: been hitting on, like the one that Dick just brought up, 235 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: like the gambling stuff, and like this private equity deal 236 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: on the Big Ten that can we now officially say 237 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 2: that Michigan USC have killed this thing. 238 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 5: It's dead for today. What's the latest on that. I 239 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 5: don't think it's dead. 240 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 6: I think it is taking a nap now. Whether it 241 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 6: wakes up or not, and what form it takes when 242 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 6: it does wake up, I don't know. Tony Batiki, the 243 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 6: Big Ten commissioner, is very frustrated that this deal got 244 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 6: squashed by the two schools. Didn't expect that to happen. 245 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 6: They thought it was going to pass. So they are 246 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 6: working behind the scenes to come up with an alternate 247 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 6: version that might be acceptable to Michigan and USC. There 248 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 6: has been talked it would go forward without the Wolverines 249 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 6: and Trojans on board, which to me is comical that 250 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 6: they could even think that right. So we'll see, but 251 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 6: they want to get it done, and there's a lot 252 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 6: of schools in the conference that want to get it done, 253 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 6: including the Huskies. I am not convinced it's the right 254 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 6: move for Washington. I understand why the Huskies are considering it, 255 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 6: but I do think that there's some risks to it 256 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 6: for sure, and it would it would involve if it 257 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 6: goes to US as scheduled, Washington would end up on 258 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 6: a tier below Oregon with the revenue. 259 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 7: Wow. 260 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 5: Well, and you kind of brought up right there. First 261 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 5: of all, I'm with you. 262 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 2: I'm surprised that this thing got out before everybody was 263 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 2: on the same page. 264 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 5: That's number one, and then number two. 265 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 2: Robert Jones, as the new president, came over coincidentally enough 266 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 2: from Illinois, by the way, and he was on the 267 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: air with US two weeks ago on our pregame show, 268 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 2: and I asked him flat out if he would vote 269 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: for something like this, the private equity deal, and he 270 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 2: wouldn't answer it. 271 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 5: He just refused to answer. 272 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 2: And so look, we heard Michigan and USC through the media, 273 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 2: we're against it. Can you now confirm with us that 274 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 2: Washington is for this equity deal. 275 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 6: I have been told by somebody who knows that it 276 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 6: was sixteen to two wow, And so that my understanding 277 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 6: is that Washington is in favor of The Huskies are 278 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 6: in a unique situation within the eighteen team conference because 279 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 6: like Oregon, they are getting half shares of revenue. Unlike Oregon, 280 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 6: they don't have Phil Knight, and they have a lot 281 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 6: of stadium debt, a ton of it. So then you 282 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 6: add on the revenue sharing and if you're Washington, you 283 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 6: could see, you know what this this infusion of one 284 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 6: hundred and ten million dollars will help us on a 285 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 6: lot of fronts to compete. The other thing is they're 286 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 6: extending the grand of rights to twenty years. It would 287 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 6: lock all eighteen schools in together for twenty years. I 288 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 6: think Washington also feels like that is attractive because they 289 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 6: would have stability before you're trading away a lot of stuff, 290 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 6: a lot of future flexibility. And I think it is 291 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 6: on the whole for the big ten. I think it's 292 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 6: a bad deal for the biggest brands, Ohio State, Michigan, USC, 293 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 6: Penn State. I think it's a terrible deal for Washington. 294 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 6: I'm kind of on the fence. I can see the 295 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 6: case for but I could also see the case against John. 296 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: What are the odds of a Saudi investment in college 297 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 3: football and more specifically the Big Ten Conference? 298 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: Right? 299 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 7: Yeah? 300 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 6: Well, I mean the Big Ten is kind of its 301 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 6: sole is for sale in some regards. Right, Saudi comes 302 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 6: in with two point four billion, and maybe they're paying 303 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 6: the Big Ten championship over there? You know, I go, well, 304 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 6: I do think that, I do think that that at 305 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 6: some point there's gonna be foreign investment in college athletics. 306 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 6: I don't know if it will be Saudi Arabia, and 307 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 6: I don't know when it's gonna happen, but it will happen. 308 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 6: I mean, this is part of the Big Ten deal. 309 00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 7: Right. 310 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 6: The firm that would make the investment is part of 311 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 6: the University of California. It's the pension fund. But after 312 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 6: fifteen years they're able to sell their ten percent stake. 313 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 6: And one of the questions nobody knows is sell to Who? 314 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 6: Could they sell to the Saudis, Could they sell to 315 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 6: private equity? Could they sell to the NFL? That's one 316 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 6: of the questions. You know, the public does not know 317 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 6: what are the parameters for this fund in terms of 318 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 6: exiting the deal? 319 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: All right, Doc Fans, Dave Satia, Maither, Gregor Lewis, Mario 320 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 2: Bailey live from King Fod Stadium in Riodd, Saudi Arabia 321 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: for today's Big Ten Championship between you dub and Ohio State. 322 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: This is husky football from Liarlefield, like freaking crazy. 323 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 3: Go to that. 324 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, John, You got a winner last week 325 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: with a Windo Laurean.

They're the only one of 340 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 6: the four West Coast schools that hasn't lost. USC hasn't 341 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 6: won a game against the spread. Washington hasn't won a 342 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 6: game against the spread. The Bruins are perfect five and 343 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 6: oh over the last season and a half in the 344 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 6: eastern half of the country. 345 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 3: So basically you should have new Heizel tell his boy 346 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 3: Mick Cronin on the basketball team, I'm starting plane. 347 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 5: That's right, that's right. 348 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is how it's done pretty much.

First one that we threw out this morning, 365 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 2: do you plan on watching the World Series? Seventy seven 366 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:52,959 Speaker 2: percent so far have voted. Anybody want to guess? No, 367 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 2: Seventy seven to twenty three percent will not watch the 368 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 2: World Series in Seattle. I am really curious to see 369 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 2: what the ratings look like for this in our market. 370 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 3: I think if you were to do that every year 371 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 3: in Seattle, it would probably be about seventy seven percent. 372 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, but even more so this year, don't you think. 373 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 5: I think it's jumped about ten percent. 374 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I guess the question would be this, 375 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 2: do you think after the Mariners lost to Toronto that 376 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: more people will watch the World Series? 377 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 3: I think there are some people that will spite watch 378 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 3: the World Series and just want the Dodgers to kick 379 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 3: the Blue Jays ass. 380 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 2: Well, that's what we're all hoping for. Two nothing Dodgers. 381 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 2: By the way, that's the fourth from the Rodgers Center 382 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 2: in Toronto. 383 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 3: Blake Snell all right, whole number two of three. Richard 384 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 3: Sherman said last night in the broadcast that the Hawks 385 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 3: are a legitimate Super Bowl contender. 386 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 5: Yes, is he right? Yes? You want to update the poll, 387 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 5: I will update the poll. 388 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 4: Up the pole. 389 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 3: Sixty nine sixty nine percent say yes, which I actually 390 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 3: I think is a pretty high number. 391 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 5: I'm shocked by that. 392 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 3: The pessimistic Seattle sports fans sixty nine percent think that 393 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 3: their Super Bowl contender. 394 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,479 Speaker 2: I wonder if Seahawk fans just see what Geno Smith 395 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 2: and Russell Wilson are doing right now and think. 396 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 5: Oh, maybe we are better off, right. 397 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 2: I think maybe we are better off with with Sam 398 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 2: Darnold versus those guys. And I've said it before, I'll 399 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 2: say it again. Not that I'm bringing a new take 400 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 2: to the show here, but I think it's amazing what 401 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: Snyder's done, jumping off the Russell wagon at the exact 402 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: right time, the Geno wagon at the exact right time, 403 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 2: the Jackson Smith, the Jigma stuff that Millan talked about earlier. 404 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: Is kind of intriguing that, hey, look, this may not 405 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 2: be sustainable, right, Like, you've got ten games left to go, 406 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 2: you got more than sixty percent of the season left 407 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 2: to go. You might need to develop another offensive weapon 408 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: besides number eleven. 409 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: No, there's no question about it. And I think they're 410 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 3: still good enough with that defense to win eleven games 411 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 3: even if you don't run the ball right and you 412 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 3: don't find a second weapon. I think that's the baseline 413 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 3: now for the Seahawks. If you can find a second 414 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 3: up and get it to like four point two four 415 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 3: point three yards per kid, yeah, you could win thirteen games. 416 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 2: The craziest thing, dude, is that they're five and two 417 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 2: and they only need to go three and seven the 418 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 2: rest of the way to get the over, which was 419 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 2: at seven and a half, they got to win one 420 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 2: game a month for the rest of the way to 421 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: get the over. It is like taking candy from a 422 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: sleeping baby. It is unbelievable how easy money that was 423 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: when that came out. 424 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 3: That and the Vikings that and the Vikings Under. I mean, 425 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 3: we're gonna we're gonna be eating well for a while. 426 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 2: The Viking, yeah, I mean, the Vikings Under. It is 427 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 2: all dependent on what they get from their quarterback. But 428 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: the Seahawks feels like a lock. It's over, right, it's 429 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 2: over already, A right, one more update on the pole, 430 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 2: All right, hang on this second. I got I got 431 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 2: away from the little page. I was doing something else. 432 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. 433 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,719 Speaker 3: I updated on I would not trade Sam Darnold unless 434 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 3: I got this many first round picks. Yeah, okay, one, two, 435 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 3: three or four. There is a runaway winner and that 436 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 3: is two. 437 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 2: I wish you would have had. No trade is one 438 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 2: of your options? 439 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 3: Well there's only four options on Twitter. 440 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 5: This is why I don't want to watch this freaking game. 441 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 7: You kidding me? 442 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 5: Will you turn that off? 443 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 7: Ye? 444 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 5: Son of a bitch, I turn it on.

And 465 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 2: it'd be so different if he was thirty three or 466 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 2: thirty four, right, but he's twenty eight years old like 467 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 2: he is it possible that they have really truly found 468 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 2: their quarterback of the future and a guy who's gonna 469 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 2: get a second contract from the Hawks.

I mean, 503 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 2: how do you explain the offense just melting down on 504 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 2: the second half like that. 505 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 10: Yeah, it was absolutely a tough, tough second half for 506 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 10: the Dogs. Listen, at the end of the day, it 507 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 10: comes down to turnovers. You can't turn it over. It's 508 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 10: an old cliche, it's coach speak. 509 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 7: One oh one, But when you turn the ball. 510 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 10: Over and give short fields, you're in the harm's way, 511 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 10: especially when. 512 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 7: You get a crowd involved. 513 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 10: And you know that's a tough place to play anytime, 514 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 10: as you know having been there with the team on 515 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 10: a couple of occasions. But to win, you have to 516 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 10: make those plays and you've got to cause those turnovers, 517 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 10: and that's just wasn't to be on that particular Saturday. 518 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: How much of a concern should there be in DeMont 519 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 3: Williams when the competition steps up. I mean, through three 520 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 3: interceptions against Michigan, they scored seven points. They scored six 521 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 3: against OSU. Last year, they scored six against Penn State 522 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 3: when he played half that game. I mean, how much 523 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 3: how much concern should there be because he is a 524 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 3: smaller quarterback and that's first interception certainly was because he 525 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 3: was short and he couldn't see the guy cutting across 526 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 3: the middle. 527 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 10: You know, that's always going to be an issue. That's 528 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 10: something he can't control. I think that, you know, if 529 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 10: I were in the play caller's position, i'd move him 530 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 10: a little bit more, give him some free opportunities to 531 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 10: look down the field without that big pocket in front 532 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 10: of him. But at the day's end, I still think 533 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,239 Speaker 10: he's one of the really talented guys out there. And 534 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 10: when you play against these really talented fronts, which Ohio 535 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 10: State and Michigan both are, it's not as easy to 536 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 10: make the kind of you know, jaw dropping moves that. 537 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 7: He makes against the rest of his teams. 538 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 10: So if you get comfortable living off of that, you're 539 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 10: going to have problems when it's not there for you. 540 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Rick new Hazel with us and Rick is not 541 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 2: very often that we talk FCS football on this segment 542 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: with you, But were you tracking what your old special 543 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: teams coach Bobby Hawk is going back and forth with 544 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 2: this week with Sacramento State before the big game with 545 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 2: Montana Friday night? 546 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 7: How about that. 547 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 10: There's some there's some talk huh big, clearly shocking knowing 548 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 10: Bobby like I know it, Well, where. 549 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 4: Is that coming from? 550 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: Is that because Dick and I were surmising on the air, Well, 551 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 2: this is just them trying to drum up this broadcast 552 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: on ESPN two, which they've done because I'm gonna go 553 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 2: watch the game tomorrow night. 554 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 10: I don't know where it comes. You know, Brendan Mary 555 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 10: and the head coach at sax State. It used to 556 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 10: be Troy Taylor, who was a GA of mine when 557 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 10: I was coaching at Colorado. Troy went to Stanford and 558 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 10: got let go this year for some kind of crazy reasons, 559 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 10: and I know he's. 560 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 7: Suing the school and so forth. 561 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 10: Uh, Bobby and I have been together a long time now. 562 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 7: That's Ben and Mary and at Sacramento State. 563 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 10: And he's the guy that wouldn't pay that Matthew Seluca 564 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 10: at UNLB last year when Seluca said I'm not playing anymore. 565 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 7: Yes, that's the same guy. 566 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 10: So he didn't have much to say on that topic. 567 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 10: So maybe he just is tired of not talking. He 568 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 10: wants to talk now. 569 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 3: Rick, the beloved Bruins are on a three game winning 570 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 3: streak and they're rolling into Indiana to take on the 571 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 3: undefeated Hoosiers. 572 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 7: Sigh. 573 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 3: Is there an upset waiting for Jerry Newheizel's greatest win 574 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 3: of his career. If he can get that one twenty 575 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 3: six points, that seems like a big number to lay for. 576 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 10: The climb from twenty four and a half to twenty 577 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 10: six and a half. Yeah, so what did the guys 578 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 10: in Dumb and Dumber say? So you're saying there's a chance. 579 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's exactly where we are. 580 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 6: You know. 581 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 10: I heard Urban Meyer talk about how you win a 582 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 10: game of this kind where you're big underdog, and he says, 583 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 10: you don't talk about winning, You talk about making a 584 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 10: five yard gain on this play and pushing the pile. 585 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 7: So you get a three. 586 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 10: Yard game on this play. And now it's third and 587 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 10: two and you convert, and all of a sudden, you 588 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 10: break a tackle and there's a twelve yard game. And 589 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 10: the next thing I know, you're down there in the 590 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 10: red zone and somebody makes a great catch and you 591 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 10: play like that. And this is going to be a 592 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 10: party in Bloomington for all the people who've been waiting 593 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 10: for this forever. This is the losing this program in 594 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 10: the history of college football. And yet now they have 595 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 10: the bellow the ball in Kurt Signetti. He just got 596 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 10: a ninety six million dollar raise. You can imagine how 597 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 10: the signetti. Confetti's going to be flying all over the place. 598 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 10: So how you win this game? It is what I 599 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 10: told Marcus and all those guys, is we're going to 600 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 10: make him in about the third quarter look up and go, 601 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 10: wait a minute, we're only ahead by three, or we're 602 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 10: behind by three, and they'll wake up and they'll get 603 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 10: into it. But instead of being raucous, they're going to 604 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 10: be nervous. And that's how you strike. Anyway, it sounded 605 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 10: good when I told the. 606 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 7: Kid, Yeah, I love it. 607 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 2: Well, Rick new Hazel's with us, and Rick two weeks 608 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: ago is James Franklin. Last week it was Billy Napier. 609 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 2: Two schools are going to spend about seventy million dollars 610 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 2: to get rid of their coaches. So I guess the 611 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 2: question is where does Florida now go from here? And 612 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 2: should Husky fans even be thinking about Jed fish in 613 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 2: that regarding Gainesville? 614 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 10: You know, having spent time with Jed this summer, I 615 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 10: know he loves it in Seattle, so I would if 616 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 10: he were to get interested in that job, it would 617 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 10: be something I would be surprised by. Obviously, it's where 618 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 10: he went to school, so it's an easy you know, 619 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 10: connection to make. But he's made most of his life 620 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 10: at least as the head coach on this side of 621 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 10: the country, on the west side of the country, and 622 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 10: so I think that he's probably very much in the 623 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 10: long haul. He may want to talk to the ad 624 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 10: about an extension should the thing gets heated up, which 625 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 10: is probably what Lane Kiffin's going to do at Ole 626 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 10: miss Right. But I mean this is the leverage limbo 627 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 10: that is the agent's world. Jimmy Sexton and all the 628 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 10: different guys out there are are working the phones trying 629 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 10: to make. 630 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 7: Deals because it's not just for the guy who. 631 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 10: Gets the job, it's for all the guys that got 632 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 10: their name in the paper about the job. 633 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 3: Rick, what do you make of the fighting a line? 634 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 4: They've been blown out twice by. 635 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 3: The two really good teams they face, but they have 636 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 3: an impressive win over a USC So what type of 637 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 3: team are we going to see coming into Montlake on Saturday. 638 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 10: I think it's a little bit different than what you 639 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 10: would expect from Brett Beelman teams. I don't see them 640 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 10: as overly physical. I see them you know, you're able 641 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 10: to run the ball. They've given up a number of 642 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 10: games over two hundred yards on the ground. I see 643 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 10: this as but their quarterback is their key. Luke Altmeyer 644 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 10: is a player. I think he has at least six 645 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 10: come from behind victories, maybe seven. He had five coming 646 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 10: into the year, which was the most of any returning quarterback, 647 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 10: and he did it again against sc and maybe another time. 648 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 10: So that's the key that the defense is going to 649 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 10: have to keep an eye on Altmeyer and make sure 650 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 10: they corral him if they're going to have success against Illinois. 651 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 5: Yeah. 652 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 2: Well, we talked about, you know, the travel in this conference, 653 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 2: and God, it just still feels like it's a thing, man, 654 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 2: that people are still kind of trying to figure this out. 655 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. 656 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 2: I guess my question is how long is this going 657 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 2: to be a freaking topic for because I'm getting kind 658 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 2: of sick and tired of talking about it. You know, 659 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley talking about it, Franklin was talking about it. 660 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 2: Mick Cronin basketball coach at UCLA. We've mentioned that to you, 661 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: talking about is this still a thing or is this just. 662 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 4: An excuse that coaches like to keep in their back pocket. 663 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 10: Well, it's not a thing if you did it once 664 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 10: and maybe twice, But the hangover and what you get 665 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 10: in practice when you come back and you're missing some 666 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 10: sleep or your timing is off.
