My bit's gonna be, my 30 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: X handle is gonna be. Did Miguel Rojas hit a 31 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: homer today? And as each day would go by, Inel 32 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: Rojas's season or I should say, yeah, whatever season we're 33 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: talking about, but certainly this season, he'd checked the box 34 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 2: score Los Angeles Dodgers and it would confirm to him 35 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: that Miguel Rojas did not hit a homer today, and 36 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: so he just say no, answering the question. 37 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: Day after day after day after day, did Miguel Rojas 38 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: hit a homer today? 39 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: No? Well, you'll notice if you look up that handle 40 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: that at this moment, the pinned tweet at the top 41 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: of this particular X handle asks the same question, did 42 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: Miguel hit a homer today? And of course the pin 43 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: to answer is yes. By now most of you probably know, 44 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: even those of you who might not be committed to 45 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 2: the game of baseball. What was once upon a time 46 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 2: the national pastime that a utility player named Miguil Rojas 47 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: saved the Los Angeles Dodgers season, maybe even opened the 48 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: door to a significant dynasty being reinforced and strengthened. Miguel Rojas. Oh, 49 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: by the way, for the record, if I looked it 50 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: up right, because I tried to go back in the 51 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 2: did Miguel Rojas ad a homer? 52 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: Today? I found a bunch of no's. 53 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 2: I think the first yes before last night that I 54 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: found recorded was seven nineteen, twenty twenty five. 55 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: Rojas had not even had a hit in a month. 56 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: He had only seven home runs all season, none of 57 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: them had come off of a right handed pitcher, and 58 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: yet at the moment of truth, down four to three, 59 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: decisive Game seven, top of the ninth, one out, nobody 60 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: on Miguel Rojas went deep to tie the game and 61 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: eventually allow the Dodgers to win it in extra innings 62 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 2: and to win their second consecutive World Series. This, I 63 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: will submit to you, and I've said this before. Anybody 64 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: listens to this show will not be surprised that I'll 65 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 2: go down this road again. The Rojas play. The Rojas 66 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: home run. 67 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: To me. 68 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 2: Distills the significant difference between Major League Baseball postseason and 69 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: all of the rest of them. And that is that 70 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: at any moment, often a crucial moment, the player who 71 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: makes the biggest play is not a superstar, often not 72 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 2: a star, sometimes the utility player. Now I'm not saying 73 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 2: it never happens in hockey or basketball or football, but 74 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: rarely compared to baseball. You can pick almost any year 75 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 2: in baseball, and sure the big knockers have got to knock, 76 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: we know that, but you'll find an everyday, ordinary, sometimes 77 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: mediocre player who ends up making the biggest defensive play, 78 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: throwing the most important pitch, getting the most important out, 79 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: or in some cases, hitting the most. 80 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: Important home run. 81 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: And that's what I think you either have to love 82 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 2: about the baseball postseason or hate about it because you 83 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: can say, well that it comes off more phony if 84 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: a guy who's really not that good can make the difference, 85 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: I would argue that's the charm of the game, that 86 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: it doesn't always have to be your superstar. Who you go, 87 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 2: Did you see what just happened in that game? That's 88 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: the magic of baseball at its best. And let's face 89 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: it again, even if you're not a hardcore ball guy, 90 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: and it's hard to be in this town right now, 91 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: we know that's about as good a in terms of theater. 92 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 2: You can't get much better than what this Major League 93 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: Baseball postseason has been, especially as we've gotten to the 94 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: to the the AL and NL Championship Series, and then 95 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: the World Series as well. I don't know how you can't. 96 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: You had the extra inning, you know, game that went 97 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 2: on forever, You had this finish, you had Game. 98 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: Six, the Dodgers are on the ropes. 99 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 2: They get a double play in the ninth inning to 100 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 2: save them in that game, to extend the series. I 101 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 2: felt last night for the first time in a long time, 102 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: I'm hearkening back. 103 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: To nineteen ninety one here. 104 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: That's to me the feel I had in this series, 105 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: even though of course there was not as much vested interest. 106 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: Wasn't covering, it wasn't the local team, but you felt 107 00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 2: like you followed it inny after inning, almost eagerly awaiting 108 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: another play that you don't think you're gonna believe, or 109 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 2: a play that might turn it the other direction. 110 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: And I think that's what this World Series felt like. 111 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 3: I think it goes both ways too, because there's instant 112 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 3: folklore in baseball and anyone can become that hero. And 113 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 3: I mean, imagine if I mean the Blue Jays literally 114 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: came with an inches if Will Smith, I believe, doesn't 115 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 3: put his foot back on home plate because it was close, Yes, 116 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 3: and it was close. And think about you don't even 117 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 3: have to be a player. You can be in Wrigley Field, 118 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 3: down the third base line and be a legend, or 119 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 3: down the Boston a first base line. 120 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: And be an infamous legend. 121 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: And then the other note, I wanted to make one 122 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: of my favorite accounts like that. If you're a Chicago 123 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: Cubs hater, which I'm not particularly but I think it's funny. 124 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: They have the W flag every time they win. 125 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 3: Yes, so there's an account just fly the L and 126 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 3: every time the Cubs lose, he just tweets hashtag fly 127 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 3: the every time. 128 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: I wonder if that's my buddy Rick Bosich one of 129 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: his burner accounts because he's a big white Sox fan 130 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: who feels obligated to hate the Cubs as well. 131 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all. 132 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: That's true, and I'm glad you brought up to play 133 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: at the plate, and I was to this moment. I'm 134 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: still not sure they got the call right, but I 135 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 2: gotta tell you, can you imagine how anti climactic it 136 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: might have been for the game to end on a reversal. 137 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 2: On that play, I'm sure Toronto would say would take 138 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: it right, But in all honesty, I just the whole 139 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: life taken out of what would have been a great 140 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: World Series if it ends up being turned on a 141 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: replay reversal. So in the end, I think poetry was 142 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: done because we wouldn't have had the poetry that we 143 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 2: had throughout the game. So yeah, I was just captivated 144 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 2: by it by as anybody, and. 145 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: I can't tell you. 146 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: I mean, Miguel Rojas has been a good baseball player 147 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: round forever. I think he's been with the Dodgers twice. 148 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: I think he's a free agent. I don't know if 149 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: he's towards the end or not, whatever the case may be. 150 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 2: But I always find it more interesting when it's a 151 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 2: player who's not at the top of his game, where 152 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: it doesn't there's nothing logical about Miguil Rowe if anybody's 153 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: gonna get a hit a home run of the ninth 154 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: to tie it, that he's going to be the guy 155 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 2: to do it. That's to me what results in the 156 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: kind of drama that you're not gonna forget, you know, 157 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 2: that that's not a game or a moment that you're 158 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: gonna forget. 159 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: And I can't even imagine. You know, we liked it. 160 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: We feel sorry for ourselves in this town. If it 161 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: can go against us, it's gonna go against this. Can 162 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: you imagine being a Blue Jay fan right now? I 163 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 2: mean the number of times you felt like this was 164 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: our series, going back to certainly Game six. Hell, the manager, 165 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: their manager basically said we should have swept them, and 166 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: he might not be wrong, but the opportunities you had 167 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: to put it away, and to have it slip away 168 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 2: the way it ended up happening, You're not going to 169 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: get over that anytime soon, even if I get it. 170 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: You know, we would kill to even be have a 171 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: chance to get into that position. So it's all relative 172 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: as well. A bratchew on Brian Kafan text night is 173 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: open at six four six eight six. Curious to get reaction, 174 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 2: how many of you here's what I like. I'd like 175 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: to hear from people who would classify themselves as casual 176 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 2: baseball fans, maybe even non baseball fans who found themselves 177 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: a little bit swept up in it last night because 178 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: it just became too good a story to miss and 179 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: you sort of wanted to see where it was going 180 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 2: to end? Or is that impossible when the team that 181 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: ends up winning it is the team with a one 182 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 2: point three billion dollar payroll, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Where 183 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 2: you go, I can't, I can't possibly can a team 184 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: with that kind of payroll actually show grit as well? 185 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: Because you can argue. 186 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 2: That they obviously have these incredible advantages in LA But 187 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 2: there have been a lot of teams with great advantages financially. 188 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: How any of them have won World Series back to back? 189 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: It's been a while, I think since we've had back 190 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 2: to back World Series winners, So to me, that would 191 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: indicate they must have something else going. But is it 192 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: impossible to enjoy it in that mythic way it's the Dodgers, 193 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: Oh my god, not the Dodgers. Not again, because I 194 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: think last night was a night where it was much 195 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 2: easier to get just get lost in the competition for 196 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 2: almost forgetting necessarily the backgrounds of the two teams involved. 197 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 2: So let me know, six four, six eighty six, we 198 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 2: will preview some final items heading them into Vikings Lions. 199 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: Which we'll get to little less. 200 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 2: I guess you could say devastating a weekend compared to 201 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: last weekend. Your wild club we win? Was that any 202 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: regulation regulation? Over the Canucks? Wow five to two, Wolves 203 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 2: win one twenty two, one. 204 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: To oh five over the Hornets. 205 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: I think uh Julius Randall had thirty Gophers win over 206 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 2: Michigan State twenty three to twenty in a game that 207 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 2: we are going to get to here momentarily, and then 208 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 2: the bad news Gopher men's hockey loses two more swept 209 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 2: swept by the Badgers. 210 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: We are now, when's the last time we've been to seven? 211 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: And have we if the Golden Gopher has a whole 212 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: Golden Government hockey men's hockey team, ever been to seven 213 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: and two. 214 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: At the early part eleven games into a season? 215 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 2: Have we ever only had two victories after having played eleven? 216 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: That's what I want to know. Somebody out there there'll 217 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: be a historian that might be able to tell us. 218 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: And I get it. 219 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 2: We lost a bunch of people, But my god, let's 220 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: come back and explain precisely why I found the Gopher 221 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 2: victory over Michigan State slightly unconvincing. There were some people 222 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 2: who applauded that position. Yesterday, some people were very unhappy 223 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: with me. Why can't you just take the victory? Why 224 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 2: can't you just let Gopher fans have their moment? I'll 225 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: explain precisely why when we return right here on Sundays. 226 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: Sunday Sermons brought to you by JT. R. Roofing. 227 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 2: How good must an individual feel, Brett Blakemore when, as 228 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: I said, they cultivate a bit day after day after day, 229 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: not probably ever imagining it could pay off the way 230 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: it did. For whoever is responsible for the did Miguel 231 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: Rojas hit Homer today? 232 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: Ex handle? Has he been? I'm assuming he'll be identified. 233 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: He or she if that person has not yet been identified, 234 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: should have his or her moment in the sun, because, 235 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 2: as I said, there's a lot of people who cultivate 236 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: these things hoping that one day there might be that 237 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: kind of payoff. But you can't possibly be that optimistic 238 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: to think it's gonna pay off for me. 239 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 3: In Game seven, the nineteen of the World Series, did 240 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 3: you catch what the actual handle is? No, the name 241 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 3: of it is didn't a home run, but it's at 242 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 3: Miggy Bonds. 243 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 2: That's too good, brilliant, that is absolutely good, And we 244 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: didn't even mention By the way, how about the catch 245 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 2: despite a collision in center field and the ninth to 246 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 2: extend the game another that and of itself would all 247 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: That's what we would all be talking about if not 248 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 2: for the drama of what else took place then and 249 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 2: the rest of that in that earlier in that inning 250 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: and the rest of the game as well. You know, again, 251 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: I grew up on baseball. I'm not as big a 252 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: baseball guy as I once was. Most people aren't, but 253 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 2: last night again confirms the notion that at its best, 254 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: the baseball postseason is the best. At its best, the 255 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: baseball postseason is at the top of the list. Lots 256 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: of texts coming in. I'm going to get to some 257 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 2: of them as well in just a minute. I I 258 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: don't know what to say about the I'm in a 259 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 2: very difficult position because regarding the Gophers and their victory 260 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: over Michigan State twenty three to twenty, because you do 261 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 2: play to win the game, and ultimately it is a 262 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: w on the scoreboard. I'm not here to tell you 263 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 2: Michigan State deserved to win that game either, But I 264 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 2: think we're starting to get messages delivered that you either 265 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 2: are with us or you're against us, you either celebrate 266 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: the victory or you have forgotten how bad it was 267 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 2: in the past and how bad it can be. And 268 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 2: if you create that sort of straw man opposition, then yeah, 269 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 2: you're kind of boxed in. But I'm going to submit 270 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: there is a middle place to be that's quite reasonable, 271 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: that doesn't have to reveal any sort of irrational hatred 272 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: of the head coach no matter what he does. 273 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: PJ. 274 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: Fleck and I have enough faith in the average roub 275 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: that their eye test should apply. You watch these games. 276 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 2: You watch who Minnesota has beaten, what it has taken 277 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 2: to beat those teams, and how little resistance little is 278 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 2: the wrong term, no resistance that they've offered playing the 279 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 2: two best teams they've played, And you're allowed to not 280 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 2: want to suggest it's time for another PJ. Fleck contract 281 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: extension on the basis of final way to win Again, 282 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 2: did it again? It's not anybody's fault that the combined 283 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 2: record of the four teams the Gophers have beaten this 284 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: year is four and twenty. 285 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: Again, they don't have. 286 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: To apologize for the victories. But will you do me 287 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 2: a favor and look up the well, Actually, I already 288 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 2: looked up the records. I'll give them to you in 289 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 2: a minute. Of the teams that we've lost to. It 290 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 2: can't be denied. So to act like, well, that's who 291 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 2: they're playing. If you're somebody who watches a team week 292 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 2: after week and you notice that in the four victories 293 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: the Gophers are plus thirty one and have had to 294 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 2: scramble to beat probably the two worst teams there, purduing 295 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 2: Michigan State, and that they're minus seventy seven in their 296 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: two losses in the Big Ten, you're allowed to notice 297 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 2: that and to say, well, okay, I'm not gonna jump 298 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 2: up and down because the record's four and two. If 299 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 2: you want a great on the Jim Whacker curve, go ahead, Yes, 300 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 2: is this better? How many times have we said it? 301 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 2: The floor has been raised. The ceiling has not been 302 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 2: raised one bit in twenty twenty five thus far. 303 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: Zero. 304 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 2: They still have a chance to do a little bit 305 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 2: of that. They got a bye week, then they go 306 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: to Oregon. That would raise the ceiling a bit. They 307 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 2: find a way to shock the world. Then they got 308 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 2: some tweener games, well one tweener game, really right, Northwestern? 309 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 2: Who else am I forgetting that Wisconsin. That's that's another 310 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: bottom feeder team. So it is what it is here. 311 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: So to dismiss any criticism or grousing after game they 312 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 2: win the game, Yes, we know they won the game. 313 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: We also know that history was made in the winning 314 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 2: of that game. In that a question, that's what I 315 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 2: would call it. But callable. Well, actually, I don't think 316 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: it was a callable pass interference penalty. I think it 317 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,959 Speaker 2: was a very callable holding penalty that got picked up. 318 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: The hanky that got picked up. 319 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 2: That's never I've I've watched football since. 320 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: I was four. 321 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 2: I never, I literally not do not remember a single 322 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: time I remember flags being picked up. Huddle, they would 323 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 2: think it through. Somebody else, says Johnny my angle. I 324 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: don't think that was a pass interference. Okay, we'll pick 325 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 2: it up. I've never seen a situation. I don't recall 326 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: situation which the penalty has been announced, the ball has 327 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: been placed in the position reflecting the penalty, penalty yards, 328 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 2: and the referee that any explanation comes back and says, 329 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 2: how we change our mind. 330 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: And you know, and I know that if that happened 331 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: to PJ. 332 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 2: Fleck and Golden Gopher fans, they would be calling for 333 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 2: a congressional investigation, and don't tell me about well they 334 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 2: owed us that one. They owed you nothing. You got 335 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: a hell of a break. The past interference that was 336 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 2: called after that that led to the Gopher touchdown was legitimate. 337 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: Had that was a good call. 338 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 2: But the way you lose control of a game that 339 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 2: you had it seemed in relative control in the first half. 340 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 2: If you're watching the game, all of this is part 341 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: of what goes into it, you're going to give more 342 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 2: of the benefit of the doubt about finding a way 343 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: of win. 344 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: That's all we do, is find a way to win. 345 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 2: If you're finding ways to win against teams that have 346 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 2: ever won, and three of the teams we've played there 347 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: two of the teams haven't won at all. Our banner, 348 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: in my opinion this year thus far is nobody does 349 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 2: a better job saving ourselves from endless embarrassment in finding 350 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: a way to beat winless big ten teams at home. 351 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: That's the banner right now. You want to raise that banner, 352 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 2: go ahead, have at it. We comment on the quality 353 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: of victories and losses all the time. We especially are 354 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 2: willing to do it when it involves other teams. We 355 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: go yeah, they got four victories. Trust me when I say, 356 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 2: if you didn't have any vested interest in Golden Gopher 357 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 2: football and you're just analyzing the conference, you say, look 358 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: at the Gophers. They they got four wins. You know 359 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 2: what the next sentence would be, Yeah, wins are wins, 360 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 2: But did you see what the who they've beaten? Nebraska 361 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 2: was legit and they dominated. But the other three teams 362 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 2: are awful. The other three teams I think have one 363 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 2: victory combined, because the comeback to that could easily be well, 364 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 2: they still want them. When you're vested in this thing 365 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 2: from a fan standpoint or even a media standpoint, that 366 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: all suddenly goes out the window, something that when you're 367 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 2: analyzing other teams more objectively you throw into the mix. 368 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 2: So I'm sorry if I can't get excited. I will 369 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: get excited when they play and either beat or play 370 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: close to in Iowa, either beat or play close to 371 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 2: an Oregon or in Ohio State, which I know is 372 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 2: hard to do, as Ohio State might well be the 373 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 2: best team in the country. 374 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: It feels hollow to me. 375 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 2: It feels like, okay, we I mean, does anybody was 376 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 2: this the kind of victory where you said, all what 377 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 2: took place last week that tastes out of my mouth. No, 378 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 2: come on, man, not if you're not unless you're so 379 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 2: close to it that you can't help yourself. So what 380 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 2: can I tell you? I mean, has anybody brought this up? 381 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring this up to Guardsy Monday. But I'm 382 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: in the group that says, Drake Lindsay looks like he's 383 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: got a chance to be really good college quarterback. But 384 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, and maybe this has already been 385 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 2: confirmed and the people who know no, aren't There gonna 386 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 2: be better programs with bigger aspirations than finishing in the 387 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 2: middle of an okay, big ten. 388 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: That are gonna come sniffing around. 389 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 2: Now, maybe again, he's committed to he's here, got a 390 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 2: great vibe, row the boat, the whole bit. 391 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't matter. 392 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 2: But that's what would worry, That's what would scare me, 393 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 2: is if you're Drake Lindsey, you're going, yeah, I appreciate 394 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 2: the effort here, but man, I don't you know, I 395 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 2: don't know if. 396 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: I can go where. 397 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 2: That to me is part of the cautionary tale about 398 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 2: another one of these sort of meandering seasons where you're 399 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 2: not awful, you're middle of the pack. There's definitely programs 400 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 2: beneath you right now, for whatever that's worth, but that 401 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 2: there's not a feeling of, you know, that might be 402 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: a team that has a chance if they get in 403 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 2: the kind of a good groove to be in the tournament, 404 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: the postseason tournament. That's what I would start to worry about. 405 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 2: You got to you got to get some of that. 406 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 2: I think more of a feeling of we're about more 407 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: than finding ways to survive the crappiest teams in the conference. 408 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: I just that's the way it felt. Again last night, 409 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 2: they took advantage of it again. They got the drive late, they. 410 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: Needed grant the point. 411 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: And we had let's see if you go to the 412 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: was it the Purdue game, we got back to back 413 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: face mask penalties that gave us thirty yards. 414 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: It's on the key drive. 415 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: When I say back to back, it might not have 416 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 2: been consecutive plays, but it was on the same drive. 417 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: And then yesterday we got we. 418 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 2: Got to start at the thirty five because the kick 419 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 2: and I think the kick landed. The kickoff landed in 420 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: the third row of the stands, So that gives you 421 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: automatically thirty five, then a face mask penalty, and. 422 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: They're on the other they're in your territory. You haven't 423 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: done anything. 424 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 2: And I yeah, I'm the guy who says part of 425 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 2: being good is avoiding the mistakes the other teams make, 426 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 2: but sooner or later to make me feel like something 427 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: substantial is happening this year, those things have to evolve 428 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 2: and take place against better competition more consistently. And so, no, 429 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 2: I didn't come out of that game, thank god. I 430 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 2: actually am surprised. Nobody said. I don't think anybody stormed 431 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: the field. I don't think there was any court storming. Yes, 432 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 2: our field storming, but maybe I missed it. I'm not 433 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 2: exactly sure. I was worried about that. I was going 434 00:26:59,119 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 2: to send out an X. 435 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: Before the game. 436 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 2: So you know, again, it's it's it's it is what 437 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 2: it is to me, and I don't think, like I said, 438 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 2: it has to be. Well, if you're not loving them 439 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 2: and appreciating them, you're hating on them. No, there's in 440 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 2: between that I'm not inventing. It's based on what I 441 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 2: have watched of this team, what we have all watched 442 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 2: of this team, and that to me feels like a 443 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 2: lot of food has already been left on the table. Okay, 444 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 2: don't go to Iowa and beat them, or don't go 445 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: to Columbus and be competitive, because Columbus is not going 446 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 2: to be allow anybody. Ohio State's not going to allow anybody 447 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 2: to competitive. Okay, if you want to go with that, 448 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: But how about Iowa? So does that get all taken away? 449 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: Everything's fine because we hung in there and we showed 450 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 2: what we were made of against an oh to six 451 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 2: team in the in the conference. No, that's not going. 452 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: To tell me. 453 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 2: That tells me you could outlast one of the worst 454 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 2: teams in the conference. That's all tells me. So you 455 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 2: want to fly a banner out of that, go ahead, 456 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 2: Bratschewan Brian kfan text line has opened six four six 457 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 2: eight six. Gopher fans live for victory over Michigan State. 458 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 2: Does anyone remember never winning versus them for years? Celebrate 459 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 2: even if it was sketchy. That's from Lindwood Township guy. 460 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 2: Well again, I don't know what Michigan State he I 461 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 2: don't think it's quite the same. Does he think it's 462 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 2: the same because it's the same school name that it 463 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 2: has the same It resonates the same way to beat 464 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: Michigan State. 465 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: Okay, knock yourselves out. Whatever. 466 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: I'm not here to tell you how to celebrate. I'm 467 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: just here to tell you how I processed it. And 468 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 2: I didn't come out of that game any more convinced 469 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 2: that I did going in that. You know that they've 470 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: got a chance to turn this into the sort of 471 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 2: season that will be forgotten as soon as it's finished. 472 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 2: As Okay, they're gonna end up at a bowl. Obviously 473 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 2: it's going to right now, right now, it's going to 474 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 2: be a crappy bowl. Do they still have a chance 475 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 2: if they if they finished strong, to make it a 476 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: better bowl. Yeah, that's possible, and that might happen, even 477 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 2: going to even going to Wrigley and winning over Northwestern, 478 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 2: there would be obviously a better victory. I haven't looked 479 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 2: at do Will you check Northwestern's current record. They've been 480 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 2: tough against a lot of teams. I know that, and 481 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 2: obviously you can change everything if you go to Oregon 482 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 2: and shock. 483 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: The world, but we have not seen quite much of 484 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: that lately. 485 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 3: Northwestern five and three, three and two in the conference, right, 486 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 3: so yeah, in the middle so, but certainly not horrible 487 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 3: by any means. 488 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: So we'll see where that where that goes. But again, 489 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: and I if I. 490 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 2: If I'm a Michigan State fan or I'm I mean, 491 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 2: if you're a Michigan State fan, there's a part of 492 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 2: me that would say, well, how can we really wind 493 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 2: that much about losing because of the number of mistakes 494 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: that we committed. 495 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: You know, the the. 496 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 2: The domination statistically in the second half for much of 497 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 2: the half was dramatic. Then they missed the chip shot 498 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 2: field goal. They had a horrible possession leading up to 499 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: that field goal, they had the had a couple of 500 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 2: other key they dropped the pass in the end zone. 501 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 2: So that's not on penalties, but I will admit I 502 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 2: don't know, I think And the guy who was doing 503 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 2: the officiating analysis in the game admitted it he didn't 504 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 2: think that it was a pass interference call that was 505 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 2: originally flagged on that play in overtime against the Gophers, 506 00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 2: But he granted the most important point you can't reverse 507 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 2: it that late, and you can't reverse it after you've 508 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 2: spotted the ball. Again, We've all seen flags picked up 509 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 2: and sometimes we agree with that decision, sometimes we don't. 510 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 2: And to me, it looked very much like this is. 511 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 2: I think we were reminded why coaches lose their minds 512 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 2: in that situation and never stop lobbying. 513 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: PJ Fleck. 514 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 2: Went even by PJ flex standards insane on the sidelines, 515 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 2: and it almost felt like it got to them. 516 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: It almost felt like. 517 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, you know, yeah, but Johnny, we already 518 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 2: spotted the foul. 519 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, but we're home here. It's PJ and he's awful adamant. 520 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: That's a bad, bad look. 521 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: That's a bad precedent that you're setting, and Gopher fans 522 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 2: would be rightly whining about it if the if the 523 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 2: roles were reversed, the situation was. 524 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: Reversed. 525 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 2: I've got the proverbial enjoy the season we're supposed to 526 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 2: enjoy because we suffer through these games when they are 527 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 2: actual losses. We have standards on this show, and I've 528 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 2: learned the hard way. For some of you, they might 529 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 2: be too lofty. But I have enough faith in a 530 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 2: lot of people who listen to this show, and a 531 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 2: lot of fans who bleed maroon and gold, who love 532 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 2: the school, who say, well, you don't ever, you know, 533 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 2: have to give the victory back. You don't have to 534 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 2: apologize for the victory, but I'm not sure anybody should 535 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 2: be celebrating this in a way that is there any 536 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 2: way we could lock in PJ for life now? Anything 537 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 2: else we can do to make sure that he's happy 538 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 2: with all these jobs, it might be available. That's basically 539 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 2: the way I look at it. I you know, believe me. 540 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: I wish, I really do wish that. 541 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 2: Michigan State had a better record than Owen six in 542 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 2: the conference. I really do wish Purdue had a better 543 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 2: record than Owen six in the conference. 544 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: I really do wish. 545 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 2: I think records is one and five, I really do. 546 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 2: But that's their records. And again, if you're honest about 547 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 2: it as a Gopher fan and you're evaluating teams around 548 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 2: the country and comparing records, well there's that four and two, 549 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 2: and there's this four. 550 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: To who the victory's come against. 551 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 2: Well, the Nebraska one is We've said I celebrated, and 552 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 2: I spent the whole sermon show celebrating that, but also 553 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 2: cautioned you got to do something with it, and they 554 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 2: really haven't done all that much with it since an 555 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 2: unconvincing victory here and a terrible loss in which which 556 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 2: they were never competitive against Iowa that if you didn't 557 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: have that vested interest, you wouldn't just be saying so win, though, 558 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 2: you'd be saying, well, okay, who who they play? How 559 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 2: do we compare that against other people? Going oh, okay, 560 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 2: that's you don't apologize for it, But that's not exactly 561 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 2: a sign that they're on the edge of putting together 562 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 2: what would be classified as a great college season. 563 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: It's not that. 564 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 3: Difficult when you say we have standards on this show 565 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 3: and that it could be too high for some people. 566 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 3: We got this text and I think it okay, I 567 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 3: think it illustrates it perfectly. Uh six one two guys 568 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 3: says when where christ some more? Damn? I added in 569 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 3: the danh PJ consistently wins seven to nine games every year. 570 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 3: We've only had that happen with one another coach, God 571 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 3: bless you want to go back to that. 572 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 2: How many games they play this year compared to back 573 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 2: these days and compared to earlier periods. 574 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: But that's fine, seven or nine wins. Just get it. 575 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 1: Just get us to the Motor City Bowl and we'll 576 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: throw a parade for you. 577 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,479 Speaker 2: Well, on the basis of what they're said, why aren't 578 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 2: they why aren't they mad that we're not ranked? 579 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: Should can we be top twenty five? 580 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 2: Then if it's just about the number of victories we've won, 581 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 2: come on, man, get serious. Let's come back and talk 582 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 2: some Vikings Lions game. Because this is a big one 583 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 2: for your club. We talked a lot about it Friday. 584 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 2: It's a plant your feet opportunity for your club. The 585 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 2: more important question might be are the Vikings currently equipped 586 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 2: even if they want to mentally, you know, do the 587 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 2: commit to quote unquote planting their feet? Are they physically 588 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 2: able at this point good enough to follow through on that? 589 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: We'll get to that question. 590 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 2: Continue to receive texts from the Gopher whole crowd and 591 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 2: much more. 592 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: Stay tuned. 593 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 2: How's Yata doing? By the way, then we checked in 594 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 2: with Yadad at the booth. Is he optimistic for today's 595 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 2: Vikings Lions game? That's what I want to know. 596 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: Spread. 597 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 2: Isn't this spread like eight and a half? Eight and 598 00:35:55,520 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 2: a half for a division game is not encouraging sign 599 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 2: By the way, before we get to some Vikings talk 600 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 2: here late nine and a half. Yeah, and that's that's 601 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 2: a lot of points. I didn't even get to the 602 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 2: fact that the quarterback didn't score. 603 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: He didn't score. 604 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 2: Now, it probably wouldn't have mattered because they were at 605 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 2: the one inch line, and obviously you got to go 606 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 2: for it in that situation. But that's another humongous call 607 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,799 Speaker 2: that went in our favor, even though we never get 608 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 2: the calls, and they owe us so many more calls 609 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 2: before we're even going to get close to being a 610 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 2: fifty to fifty. But I digress. We could spend the 611 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 2: entire rest of the show on a go for texts. Fortunately, 612 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 2: there are a number of individuals who understand and get 613 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 2: that the cliche you never have to apologize for winning 614 00:36:55,880 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 2: is true, but you're also allowed to analyze is how 615 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 2: you got it and who you got it against, something 616 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 2: we do routinely when it involves other teams. And as 617 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,439 Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned, this team has played one really 618 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 2: good game this year. 619 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: One that's it. 620 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 2: I mean, we know about the non conference that nonsense, 621 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 2: it's utterly meaningless. 622 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: They're not the only team that does it. They've had. 623 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 2: Three chances to create a certain legitimacy to this season. 624 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 2: Cal on the road they failed, Ohio State and Columbus 625 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:44,240 Speaker 2: failed miserably. Iowa City or Iowa in Iowa City failed miserably. 626 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 2: I can't take that away. They played those games. Now 627 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 2: they get a buy. I don't think Oregon's good, but 628 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 2: I don't think Oregon is like unstoppable. 629 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: So maybe you go. 630 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 2: If you go to Oregon and you get a moral victory, yeah, 631 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 2: probably feel better, a little better about where this team is. 632 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 2: If God forbid you win, then maybe we talk contract extension, certainly, 633 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 2: but that's just the reality of the way this season's 634 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 2: played out. The Nebraska game, which we celebrated closer to 635 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,959 Speaker 2: two one eight. Guy, he may have missed that show. 636 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 2: We su spill celebrated that show for an out about 637 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 2: an hour. Might have been a two hour sermons weekend, 638 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 2: and we did it for an hour outstanding. I would 639 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 2: coach the opposition. I would play the opposition. By the way, 640 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 2: the coach who was out coached, he was rewarded with 641 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 2: a contract deal that's better than Kurt Signettes. Explain that 642 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 2: to me. We've got a lot of soft, easily manipulated 643 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 2: athletic directors around the United States of America. I mean, 644 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 2: there's just no question about that at all, all right, 645 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 2: I asked the question. 646 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: Friday, I asked the. 647 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 2: Vike the Vikings to channel their inner pat Riley, the 648 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 2: famous does pat Riley plant your feet story when the 649 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Lakers were in crisis. But of course there's 650 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 2: a number of people pointed out, well, it's easy for 651 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 2: Ryles to say that he had the greatest point guard 652 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 2: in the history of the game, Irvin Magic Johnson. He 653 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 2: had one of the greatest forwards in the history of 654 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 2: the game, James Worthy, And he had one of the 655 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 2: greatest centers in the history of the game, carew A 656 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 2: dul Jabbar. Pretty easy to say plant your feet when 657 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 2: you got people who know who are good enough to 658 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 2: plant their feet. So even if the Vikings are mentally 659 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 2: willing to plant their feet and say, yeah, that's what 660 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 2: we got to do at this fork in the road 661 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 2: moment of the season, the question is whether they're good 662 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,720 Speaker 2: enough to do it. That's the fascinating open ended question 663 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 2: I asked here. I don't have a good vibe about it. 664 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 2: I did pick the Lions to cover, but players always 665 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,839 Speaker 2: have the last word. That's the beauty of it. And 666 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,840 Speaker 2: all it takes is the Lions making a couple of 667 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 2: uncharacteristic mistakes. Viking's taking advantage of those mistakes and maybe 668 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,879 Speaker 2: the QB comes in Lucy Goosey and flings the ball 669 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 2: around a little bit. They get a couple of big 670 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 2: plays and suddenly he feels like I'm back. 671 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 1: And let's be honest. 672 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 2: If the Vikings go to Detroit and find a way 673 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 2: to win the game, you know, moral victories really don't 674 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 2: count in the NFL all that much. They find a 675 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 2: way to win that game, steal that game starting Monday, 676 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,800 Speaker 2: people are going to feel very differently. 677 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 1: About this season. 678 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 2: Now. They may be overreacting even to that, because you've 679 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,759 Speaker 2: got to sustain it. But that's how quickly things can 680 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 2: change in the league. If you change the story by 681 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 2: planting your feet in how you play, people will look 682 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 2: at it differently. I'm not optimistic because I just think 683 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 2: Detroit's too good at this point and we just haven't 684 00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,920 Speaker 2: established enough, and I tark for me to believe we're 685 00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:01,360 Speaker 2: going to be able to establish enough. 686 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: In this game. 687 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,720 Speaker 2: On the other hand, they go to Detroit and lose, 688 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 2: that may be liberating to the extent that for the 689 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,440 Speaker 2: people that for the mac Bobo's out there who are 690 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 2: all about developing the kid, he'll be free to be 691 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 2: developed the rest of the season, and people will accept 692 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 2: the mistakes if it's leading to somewhere better, and we 693 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 2: just say, well, it wasn't quite the season that we 694 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 2: thought it was for this year, but we're going to 695 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 2: get a better idea about whether we do have a 696 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,760 Speaker 2: quarterback for the future. 697 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 1: Question is can he be the. 698 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 2: Quarterback for the present, because he's got to be quarterback 699 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 2: for the present, as unfair as that might be to 700 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 2: put that heat on him to sort of change the 701 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 2: story today. A Vikings football Sunday is coming up next Sunday. 702 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,760 Speaker 2: I should say bumper to bumper back tomorrow at three o'clock. 703 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 2: Liber We hope Adam Thielen, Johnny Athletic among a cast 704 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 2: of thousands enjoy the football and the fan.
