1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: We do have some news to get to. If you're 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: a Mariner fan, this is very important. The Tigers have won. 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: They are on the way to Seattle for Game one 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: on Saturday of the American League Division Series. They've never 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: played the Mariners in the postseason, obviously, first time ever 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: against the Tigers, so for long time Mariner fans like us, 7 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: kind of cool, I guess to see a new matchup. 8 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: They played the Guardians, as you guys know, way back 9 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: in two thousand and one and a crazy five game series, 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: almost lost. They had to come back and win it 11 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: with Jamie Moyer on the mound in game five. I 12 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: remember Game four, Edgar hitting that crazy home run to 13 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: left field. The win was blowing like mad and they 14 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: finally got it done to move on to the Alcs. 15 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: But the Tigers are coming to town and Trek Skubell, 16 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: the local boy, coming to town to face the Mariners 17 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: for the third time this year. The M's are two 18 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 1: to zero against him, and that's what freaks me out right. 19 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: That's the kind of stuff I think about, guys. Right 20 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: now during the playoffs. We're sitting here with a couple 21 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: of days to go before Game one, and Dick Bird 22 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: would always use this term that when you have too 23 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: much time to think about something, what do you get? 24 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: You get paralysis by analysis. And I might be totally 25 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: paralyzed by the way by Saturday afternoon before Game one, 26 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: because I got all this stuff running through my brain. 27 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 2: Can we beat Scooble again? We might have to beat 28 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: them four times for crying out loud to make the 29 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: next round. 30 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: But look four and two against Detroit, And I'm kind 31 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: of with you and kind of with Jackson that I 32 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: was rooting for the Guardians to win in this series, 33 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: but it wasn't an overwhelming thing for me. I feel 34 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: like if the Mariners play their best baseball, they should 35 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: be able to handle whoever comes their way in the 36 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: first or the second round of the American League Division Series. 37 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: But you're talking about facing maybe the best picture in baseball, 38 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: and when you face a team with the best picture 39 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: in baseball, nothing's guaranteed, big boys. 40 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 3: Well, I watch a lot of innings of this Cleveland 41 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 3: Detroit series, and the Seattle Mariners are a better baseball 42 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: team right now than both of these teams. 43 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: There is no question about that at all. 44 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 3: But the factor of Trek Scouble coming in, I shut 45 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: my eyes, and I can just envision him sticking it 46 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 3: up our tailpipe at least once, if not twice, And 47 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 3: that puts so much pressure on the rest of the 48 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: games where he's not pitching for you to be nearly 49 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: perfect in those other games. I'm not saying we're gonna 50 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 3: lose both games he pitches, but I think it's gonna 51 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: be really. 52 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 2: Hard to put crooked numbers on the board. 53 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: And if you're gonna win those two games, you're probably 54 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: gonna have to win him two to one, three to 55 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 3: two and get elite starting pitching. That matches what Tarik 56 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 3: Schooble's able to put up there. 57 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: Well, that's what we've been all about though, really for 58 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: the last couple of years until recently, is elite pitching. 59 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: And that's what I think that Mariner fans should be 60 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: counting on. I mean, if I can't count on Logan 61 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: Gilbert and George Kirby and Luis Castillo and Brian wu 62 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: if he does pitch in this series, which we think 63 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: he's going to, we're thinking maybe Game three or Game four. 64 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: But if I can't count on that, then what are 65 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: we doing here? I mean, that's the way this team 66 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: was built. Yeah, right, that's this team's DNA is starting pitching. 67 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: It's the best thing that they've done over the last. 68 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: Three or four years. So obviously the offense has gotten better. 69 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: They've added pieces, and the offense is a different animal 70 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: now than it was, maybe even just a couple months ago. 71 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: We're three months ago. Definitely a different animal than it 72 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 2: was a year ago. 73 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: But I've I've got to be able, Dick to wake 74 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: up on Saturday and count on whoever pitches in Game 75 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: one to pitch his balls off and to give us 76 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: a great shot to either have the lead or you know, 77 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: tied or down one and maybe a one nothing or 78 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: a two to one game. But that that guy's got 79 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: to be Superman. And I don't think that's too much 80 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: for Marion Defense to happen. 81 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: No, it's not. 82 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 3: And I feel like this series is going to be 83 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: incredibly low scoring. I think most. I mean, there'll be 84 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 3: an outlier game probably, but I just see three two four, 85 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 3: three two one all through this series, which means the 86 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: margins are so razor thin because they're going to be 87 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: games like that. 88 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking, look, guys, this is a thing, all right, 89 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: And I've been barking about this for years on the 90 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: radio station, that the baseball playoff tournament is the most 91 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: wide open thing that sports has to offer, right. I Mean, 92 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: maybe you can argue that Stanley Cup Finals, when you know, 93 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: a seventh seed or an eight seed win the whole thing, whatever, 94 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: But the baseball tournament, to me, generally over the years 95 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: that I've been a sports fan, is the most wide 96 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: open thing that sports can offer you, right, I mean, 97 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm going back to twenty and twenty three, the two 98 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: teams in the World Series had the seventh and the 99 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: thirteenth most wins in baseball in Texas and Arizona. Twenty 100 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: twenty two, Philadelphia wins the entire thing with the eleventh 101 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: most wins in baseball. Twenty twenty one, the Braves had 102 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: the twelfth most wins in baseball with eighty eight. And 103 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: if you throw out twenty twenty because of COVID twenty nineteen, 104 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: the Nationals won the whole thing with the eighth moth. 105 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: Wins in baseball. 106 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter come playoff time. And 107 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: you sent a text out to the group today about 108 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: what the Mariners did in two thousand and one offensively 109 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: in the regular season, versus the division series in the ALCS. 110 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: In both those series were five game series, right. I 111 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: guarantee you if you go back to the regular season, 112 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: well maybe not that team, but if you go back 113 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: to any disappointing offensive performance over a five or a 114 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: seven game series, you can find the same thing in 115 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: the regular season over a five or a seven game stretch. 116 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: But nobody notices, nobody cares, because it's not do or die. 117 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: I mean, this pitching staff comes out and pitches, you know, 118 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: terribly in the regular season. 119 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: Hey, it's just a bump in the row. Whatever, But 120 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 2: if they do that next week, we're done. It's over. 121 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 4: We're cooked. 122 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: The season's over, right, and you're walking out of their 123 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: massively disappointed. And what just happens. So this is what 124 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: makes the baseball playoffs great? 125 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: Dude. I'm already getting freaking anxiety man, thinking about it. 126 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: Honestly, I went and got a damn stant in my 127 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: gut over the last couple of days. Thank god I 128 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: did that, because I might have had a heart attack 129 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: if I didn't get that thing cleaned up in the 130 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: last couple of days. This is gonna be balls to 131 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: the wall nerves for everybody on Saturday and Sunday. Imagine 132 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: if they lose Game one, how freaking big Game two 133 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: is gonna be? Game two then becomes a must win 134 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: for every against school. Yes, potentially, so game one is well. 135 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 3: Yes, game one is massively important for Seattle, there's no question. 136 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: And and my my two wonders are is Detroit fixed 137 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 3: They've won for their last seven games, including beating Cleveland 138 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 3: three times, twice in the playoffs and once last week 139 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 3: in the regular season and the must have game to 140 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 3: get into the playoffs? Are they fixed? And is the 141 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 3: LA Dodgers series with the Mariners? Did it truly mean 142 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 3: absolutely nothing? Did it mean a little or did it 143 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: mean like, oh yeah, they truly did cool off the 144 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: Mariners a little bit. I've got no idea. I don't 145 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 3: think that it means a lot. I probably think that 146 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 3: the Detroit comeback means a little bit more than what 147 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 3: the Mariners did in the last three games against the 148 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: against LA. But I'm not looking at Detroit as a 149 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: cold ball team. 150 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 2: No, not at all, not at all. 151 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: I mean, they've got If you think that keeping in 152 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: rhythm is an advantage, then they've got it. 153 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: Yes, got the advantage over you. 154 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: And to answer your question about the Dodgers reason, but 155 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,239 Speaker 1: I generally don't think it's that relevant, to be honest 156 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: with you. There's also a part of me that thinks 157 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: that maybe it's a good thing, but if they approached 158 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: it as kind of an irrelevant thing, and I don't 159 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: have any idea what their mindset was like going in. 160 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: I mean, the lineups for the most part. 161 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: Kind of reflected they were kind of backing off a 162 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: little bit given cal a couple of the DH days whatever, 163 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: so it was a little bit different starting Friday, I 164 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: thought with the way that they kind of behave with 165 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: their lineup, but if they really had the attitude behind 166 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: the scenes that, you know what, we just need to 167 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: get guys rested, then I'm not worried about it. 168 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: And I'm not really worried about it to begin with. 169 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: I think this is again, this is one of those 170 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: things that we talk about when we're sitting here having 171 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: a freaking week off before game one of the playoffs, 172 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: right when the Seahawks had to buy and you had 173 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: two weeks before game one, you just talked about everything 174 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: a nausea and had whatever, the same. 175 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: Stuff over and over and over and over again. NBA playoffs. 176 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: Same thing that month between the Pac twelve championship and 177 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: the Texas game. Remember how ridiculous that was, Every stupid 178 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: little thing that didn't even really matter when it was 179 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: all said and done. We talked about at nauseum on 180 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: the air. It makes you sick thinking about how much 181 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: crap gets thrown out there. So I just wish that 182 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: somebody could come over here and knock me the hell 183 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: out and wake me up on Saturday, right at one 184 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: o'clock or five o'clock before first pitch, because I'm ready. 185 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: I'm tired of talking about it. I want to play 186 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: the game. 187 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 5: Well. 188 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: I think it'd be an interesting question for Homegren when 189 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: we have them on because, as I recall two thousand 190 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: and five, I remember watching that game Agreen Bay in 191 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 3: the final week this season, I believe Hasselebeck and Alexander 192 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 3: played until halftime, right, I think that's right, right, and 193 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 3: then they didn't play in the second half. So it'll 194 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 3: be interesting to see what he thinks about res versus. 195 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: Right, no doubt. 196 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna break Rick new Heisel is gonna 197 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: join us next.

But before we get to all that, uh, 235 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: let's talk about Jerry. Let's talk about the brand new 236 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: play caller for the uc LA Bruins. 237 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: And you know him. 238 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: Very very well. God, remember Jerry running around? He must 239 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: have been like, what two or three years old when 240 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: you were here taking you dep the rose ball and 241 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: I was calling plays at your alma mater. 242 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: How about that? 243 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 8: He is? 244 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 7: He was seven when we came to Seattle, and uh, yeah, 245 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 7: he's got a chance here Now this is literally being 246 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 7: thrown into the Lions. Then the Nitney Lions come to town. 247 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 7: They're a twenty five point underdog. Uh and he got 248 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 7: the job after they already had practice on Tuesday. So 249 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 7: what can be done in that amount of time. We'll 250 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 7: wait and see. But he's excited. This is his all modern, 251 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 7: this is always what he wanted to do. So fingers 252 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 7: crossed that it goes well. 253 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 3: No question about it, and they'll probably be a lot 254 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: of Penn State fans as their worldhouse state fans in 255 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 3: our state. 256 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 2: Now. 257 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: I was talking to Petros yesterday and he was saying, 258 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 3: UCLA really needs to have it on campus facility. Is 259 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: that something that is even remotely possible in the near future? 260 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 7: You know, it's an interesting question. In nineteen in the sixties, 261 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 7: they wanted to have it and the students voted it down. 262 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 7: And then in the nineteen eighty when I was a 263 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:40,239 Speaker 7: sophomore on campus, the students voted yes, but the chancellor 264 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 7: at the time decided that since he had just continued 265 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 7: a couple of majors, some of his friends in academias 266 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 7: that if you've built a new stadium on campus and 267 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 7: you've gotten rid of some academic majors, you can forget 268 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 7: getting another opportunity anywhere else, and so he turned it down. 269 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 7: So there are some complications with the neighbors and so forth, 270 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 7: and nothing happens if you don't try. And I totally 271 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 7: agree with the sentiments that we have to try to 272 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 7: get a stadium closer to camp. 273 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's just kind of an obvious thing 274 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: now at this point. Right back in the day, we 275 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: had the debate. Now there doesn't seem to be any debate. 276 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: And Rick, I gotta be honest with you, man, Look, 277 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to spend the entire segment talking about UCLA. 278 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: For as much as you love the Bruins. So we 279 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: got bigger fish to fry here in Seattle. But I 280 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: just i'm i'm I'm fearful. I'm I'm fearful, fearful for 281 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: your alma mater. I think of all the teams and 282 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: the Big Ten right now, especially the ones that moved 283 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: into the conference, I'm most concerned about your team the most. 284 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: Oh. 285 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 7: I don't think there's any question they've got lousy leadership. 286 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 7: And you know, listen, I'm not trying to point fingers 287 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 7: at anybody firing football coaches. Just that's your answer. You've 288 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 7: got to look inside yourself and say, look, what are 289 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 7: we doing wrong where it's an underfinanced operation. When Deanton 290 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 7: Lynn is your defensive core and he takes your team 291 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 7: from eightieth to eleventh nation defensively, and USC, twelve miles 292 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 7: away in the same conference, can pay him a million 293 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 7: dollars more than you can, there's a problem. There's an 294 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 7: absolute problem. You were just telling your fan base we 295 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 7: don't want to compete, and that's exactly what happened. 296 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 8: Rick. 297 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 3: There are two separate headlines in the same paper on 298 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 3: the same day about the same game. One said you 299 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 3: dub whiffs against Ohio State. The other one said, you 300 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: dub proves they belong against Ohio State. Which side of 301 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 3: the which side of the ledgery do you fall on? 302 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: After that game that you watched so closely from the 303 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 3: CBS studio. 304 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 7: Oh I think you dub proved that they belong. There 305 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 7: are a few players short of the depth that Ohio 306 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 7: State does. It's what I thought would be the problem 307 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 7: on the defensive front. And I give Ryan Day, the 308 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 7: head coach of Ohias State, a lot of credit. You know, 309 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 7: most guys who come in get head coaching jobs. As 310 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 7: a offensive coordinator want to have flamboyant offenses. He saw 311 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 7: what he thought was a very flamboyant offense with Washington, 312 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 7: and so Matt Patricia took away Demond Williams legs and 313 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 7: he said, I'll play complimentary football on offense by running 314 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 7: the ball and extinguishing the clock. Washington only had fifty 315 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 7: three plays in that game. I mean when you take 316 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 7: when you have fifty three plays that in the old 317 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 7: days used to be half of a game. Now that 318 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 7: was the entirety of the game. And it was a 319 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 7: great job of extinguishing the Washington offense in Demand's legs. 320 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 7: But Washington a couple of recruits away in that defensive front. 321 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 7: I think will prove that they're very very close. 322 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, people keep asking, like, you know, how do 323 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: you feel after that game? Well, I don't know. Ask 324 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: me after Maryland. 325 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: Ask me after they play Rutgers, asked me after they 326 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: played Michigan. I mean, right, if they come out and 327 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: struggle against those teams, then you can go back and 328 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: say the first three games of the year, we're kind 329 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: of a mirage because they played nobody but this Maryland 330 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: football team that we're gonna see Saturday, Rick. I don't 331 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: think they've played anybody either. I mean, they got what 332 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: Towson State Wisconsin's not very good n IU for God's sake. 333 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: So what is this four and old Maryland football team 334 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: in Malak Washington all about? 335 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 7: Well, it's a great question, and I think this will 336 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 7: be there by far their sternest test. But I'm gonna 337 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 7: tell you right now, regardless of the outcome of the game, 338 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 7: you're gonna look at Malak Washington and feel like he's 339 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 7: going to be a star. He's got that rare swag 340 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 7: to him that it looks like it's easy now or 341 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 7: is he gonna make some freshman mistakes? Washington fans hope so. 342 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 7: But the bottom line is he like kind of like 343 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 7: Cam Word when he got into that Miami uniform, just 344 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 7: look like he belonged. This guy's pretty darn good, and 345 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 7: so dogs better be wary. 346 00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: He's eighteen and he's six five two thirty. 347 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, well right on, and he walks around like he 348 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 7: knows it. 349 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 3: I want to talk about our quarterback, who's awesome, but 350 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 3: not six five two thirty Dumon Williams. 351 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: I thought was. 352 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 3: Really neutered running the football on Saturday. Was that more 353 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: of the U Dubs doing and his doing or more 354 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 3: of what Matt Patricia was doing on the other side. 355 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 7: Of the ball. No, it was clearly Matt Patricia's plan. 356 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 7: They did what we call caging him. Rather than trying 357 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 7: to sack him and getting up the field in your 358 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 7: brush lanes, they basically kept him in the pocket. It's 359 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 7: like the old movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 360 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 7: when Robert Redford couldn't hit anything, and then he asked, 361 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 7: can I move? And all of a sudden he could 362 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 7: hit everything right. Demon Williams was brilliant from the pocket 363 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 7: eighteen of twenty two for the game, but there was 364 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 7: no place to take off and run, and that was 365 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 7: what Ohio State and Matt Patricia were most concerned about 366 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 7: because that opens up so many other huge plays. They 367 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 7: thought they could keep most of the stuff in front 368 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 7: of them. They played it, as I mentioned, a complimentary 369 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 7: game and kept them having to go the long field. 370 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 7: It was it was going to be hard to do 371 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 7: that too many times against the Ohio State defense without 372 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 7: Williams's legs, and that was a I think Patricia has 373 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 7: come to the college ranks as well as any NFL 374 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,479 Speaker 7: guy that I can recall and acclimated quickly. 375 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 376 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: I mean that's like we said, if the offense can 377 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: get it together, we can go back and say, well, 378 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: they played the best defense in the country. That's They're 379 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: going to do that to a lot of teams. So 380 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see how they bounce back. But 381 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: Rick new Heiseel with us courtesy of Taco Time and Rick, 382 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: you know, John Wilner wrote a story about this, about 383 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: the inequities and the Big Ten schedules, And I mean, 384 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: first of all, Washington's got five games, this is one 385 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: of them where the opponent is coming off a buy. 386 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 2: Michigan's got two, for example. 387 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: How much of this is a big fat finger welcome 388 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: to the Big Ten from the rest of the conference 389 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: to a team like Washington honestly behind the scenes. And 390 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: then number two, I'm getting kind of tired of hearing 391 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley and Mick Cronin from the basketball side bitch 392 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: about this stuff. I'm kind of happy that Jed's not 393 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: complaining about it. How much would you be complaining about 394 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: this publicly if you were still coaching in this league? 395 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 7: Well as you point out. When you complain publicly, it 396 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 7: comes off as whining, right, But this is the kind 397 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 7: of stuff that needed to be discussed by athletic directors 398 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 7: to the Conference office before these schedules ever see the 399 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 7: light of day. I mean, how many times are you 400 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 7: going to ask us to play at nine o'clock on 401 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 7: our body time? Just like you're asking somebody who's traveling 402 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 7: from the East coast to come out and play a 403 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 7: night game on the West coast. I mean, if you're 404 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 7: going to we understand that there's going to be times 405 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 7: when that may happen, but it can't happen more than once. 406 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 7: Just like you can't play a team that's coming off 407 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 7: of bye if you haven't more than once. Those are 408 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 7: things that can be into the computer before you spit 409 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 7: out a schedule. I mean, Alabama and Georgia played last week. 410 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 7: They both had a buy and to think that one 411 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 7: of those teams would not have a BUYE before they 412 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 7: played each other would have been heresy in the SEC. 413 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 7: So there is a bias and it's got to get fixed. 414 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 7: It's just early in their time in the Big Ten, 415 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 7: and you know how much clout they have is probably 416 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 7: still subject to debate. 417 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 3: What did the Penn State Oregon game outcome tell you 418 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 3: about both teams? 419 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 7: That Oregon's for real, which I suspected, And I think 420 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 7: that Drew Aller is got a ways to go before 421 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 7: he's going to be the guy that can take Penn 422 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 7: State to a championship. I really liked the kid, interviewed 423 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 7: him in Las Vegas at the Big Ten Media Days. 424 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 7: Charming young man. But he's got to make more plays. 425 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 7: And Andy Kotlnicki kind of gave him a chance to 426 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 7: make more plays in the second half with its legs, 427 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 7: which I thought was a good move and it kind 428 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 7: of gave him some confidence. There was a good touchdown 429 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 7: pass that second half, but you can't throw that pick 430 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 7: at the end of the game if you're going to 431 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 7: be the championship quarterback. And right now, that's one of 432 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 7: the reasons James is four and twenty one against Top 433 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 7: ten opponents. 434 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: Right well, And that was what I was going to 435 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: ask you, because he's also one hundred and four and 436 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: forty three at Penn State in eleven years, when he's 437 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: got four New Year's Six Bowl wins in the last 438 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: seven seasons. But a lot of Penn State fans want 439 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: him fired because of that four and twenty one. 440 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 2: Should he be fired? 441 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 7: No, I mean you've gone to that many New Year's 442 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 7: Day games. You're doing something right, namely recruiting. They've got 443 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 7: to find a way to figure out what they do 444 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 7: best when the chips are on the line. They've got 445 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 7: Singleton and Allen, two really good backs, both thousand yard backs. 446 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 7: They should lean on them and maybe not put so 447 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 7: much pressure on Aler. But they're still a good team 448 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 7: and I think they'll make the College Football Playoff if 449 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 7: they finished ten and two. They're big challenge being that 450 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 7: game in Columbus. 451 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 3: This private equity deal that came out yesterday that would 452 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 3: guarantee each Big ten school a nine figure up front payout. 453 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 3: Does this if this happens, does it expedite the march 454 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 3: to a super conference because I imagine the SEC would 455 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 3: try to follow suit, and then those two conferences are 456 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 3: just that much further ahead than everybody else. 457 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 7: I actually think it keeps impact because if they take 458 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 7: it individually, you got to imagine the secs and the 459 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 7: same kind of throws. But it would allow for Brett 460 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 7: Yormack and Jim Phillips to do it the same maybe 461 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 7: not to the tune of nine figures for each school, 462 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 7: but if I keep saying the two of them should merge, 463 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 7: but it does keep the idea of that. You know 464 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 7: that the Big ten floated because you're because Petiti has 465 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 7: kept it himself very mum on what he once for 466 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 7: the college football Playoff other than he wants automatic qualifiers, 467 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 7: but that idea of twenty four teams in the college 468 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 7: football Playoff was something that he floated. I think that's 469 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 7: tied to this as a way to pay back the 470 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 7: private money that would be coming in. It's intriguing, but 471 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 7: I think it keeps college football looking pretty much like 472 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 7: it looked, and I'm excited for that. 473 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 474 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: All right, Well let's get to it. Your Taco Time 475 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: pick of the week. Trying to get off the schneid 476 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: here big time.

You know what the number six is. 480 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: That's the veggie soft taco. I've literally never had a 481 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: Veggie Soft. 482 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 7: You can't you can't do that. 483 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 8: I can refuse you. 484 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: Ago, no, no, no, desperate times, call for desperate measures. Baby, 485 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: I'm getting the number six veggie soft Taco.

Jackson? 523 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 5: I took the under and tonight's Theresa Nye game just 524 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 5: because I looked at the forty nine Ers injuries and 525 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 5: I said, I don't think they store a touchdown tonight. 526 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: Okay, was that because you were like underneath your table 527 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: when you made that selection, or underneath the couch or whatever. 528 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: Because last week it took Minnesota because of Dan Wilson. 529 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 8: Yeah. 530 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 5: No, I've let go of the vibes.

I love going against bad teams 536 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 3: coming off of big wins. I still feel like the 537 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 3: New York Giants are a bad team. They came off 538 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 3: an upset win over the Chargers. Saints now have some 539 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: film on Jackson dark quarterbacks in their first two road 540 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 3: starts of their career over the last twenty years, thirteen 541 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 3: and thirty four straight. 542 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 2: Up and Jackson Dard has no neighbors. 543 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 3: And remember the Saints have been pretty tough against every 544 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,959 Speaker 3: team except the Seaalffs. 545 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: By the way, thought he said neighbors. Said he's got 546 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: no neighbors, Like he lives in some giant field with 547 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: nobody around them. No neighbors, man. 548 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 3: I mean, the Saints played the Cardinals tough. The Saints 549 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 3: played the Niners stuff and they actually hung with the Bills. 550 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 3: The only game they got blown out was the Seahawks game, 551 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 3: and that was largely due to special teams. 552 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: I think Spencer. 553 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 3: Ratler gets his first win as an NFL starter, and 554 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: we can take a two game swing on the Ian 555 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 3: Show because Jess picked up Giants. 556 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: Well, why the hell not.

Give us us your take on 659 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: this opponent that you'll see starting Saturday at Team Mobile Park. 660 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, obviously a team that has has gone 661 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 4: through it, as every team does during the course of 662 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 4: the season, and and uh you know found themselves uh 663 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 4: sort of on the down end towards the end, but 664 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 4: able to kind of get through this series. 665 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 8: And you know, I think we'll be ready to go. 666 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 8: You know, I think we stack. 667 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 4: Up well against this club and and have played well 668 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 4: against them. Uh you know, played them right before the 669 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 4: break and really swung the bat well in that series, 670 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 4: and uh, you know, threw the ball well in that 671 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 4: series as well. So I think we gained a lot 672 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 4: of confidence from that. And uh, but it's you know, 673 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 4: it's postseason baseball, and and we're going to be prepared. 674 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 4: We're going to be ready and and really looking forward 675 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 4: to to, as we said, getting started on Saturday. 676 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: Dan, do you believe now, uh, should we expect that 677 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: Brian Will will pitch in one of those first three 678 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: games of the series, Uh. 679 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 4: You know, through a bullpen today and and we'll take 680 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 4: a look at how he kind of responds tomorrow and 681 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 4: and make our final decisions as we get a little 682 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 4: bit closer. So still a little bit of an unknown, 683 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 4: but uh, you know, I thought it was a good 684 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 4: bullpen session today and and uh, you know, obviously wanting 685 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 4: to weigh several factors, they're not trying to push them 686 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 4: too quickly, so we'll we'll just kind of put it 687 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 4: all together and and see what we come up with tomorrow. 688 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 8: In the next day or so and and we'll have 689 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 8: a final decision. 690 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 3: Well, Dan, you mentioned being successful against the Tigers at 691 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 3: four and two, and part of the reason is you've 692 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 3: gotten after their ace. Why have you had success against 693 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 3: Trek Scooble. 694 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, obviously, uh one of the league's best pitchers. 695 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 4: And and we've been able to get to him a 696 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 4: couple of times. And you know, I think one of 697 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 4: the keys is putting a lot of pitches on him early, 698 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 4: uh and and making him work. And when our guys 699 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 4: do that, when they grind out there at bats like 700 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 4: they do, uh, he can you know, you you you 701 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 4: stand a much better chance. 702 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 8: And and we've been able to do that. 703 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 4: We've been able to get a couple of guys on 704 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 4: and and a couple of guys able to hit some 705 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 4: balls out of the ballpark with him. So you know, 706 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 4: we've got a pretty good game plan. We've we've beaten 707 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 4: some some tough lefties this season, and we'll just continue 708 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 4: that same game plan, you know, against the Derek school ball. 709 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 4: And you know, our guys with there at bats, with 710 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 4: the depth of our lineup, you feel like we're a 711 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 4: pretty good spot. 712 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 2: You know. 713 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: It's funny that Dan We have a lot of college 714 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: football coaches, NFL coaches on we ask him. 715 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 2: Hey, what do you need from the crowd?
