WEBVTT - 11-1-25 Sports Talk with Chick Ludwig

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Six nine in the Queen City of Cincinnati, chick Ludwig,

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>seven hundred wl W. This is Sports Talk Shoeless. Joe

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>Waddell is tonight's producer. We're going all the way to

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 1>nine fifteen and that means three hours and fifteen minutes

0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>of fun. But first things first, don't forget to set

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 1>your alarm clocks back for an extra hour of sleep

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 1>tonight as we transition from Daylight Savings time to standard

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>time starting at two am on Sunday. And what a

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>day it's been, What a week it's been, What a

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>night it will be. And there's a lot to sort

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>through with every Saturday feeling like a January one football

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Bowl day, and that includes today as our show tonight

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>bleeds right into our coverage of the Big twelve Conference

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>showdown between the number seventeen you see Bearcats and the

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>number twenty four Utah Utes at Rice Echles Stadium in

0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Salt Lake City, Utah. Kickoff is ten fifteen tonight, and

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>you can hear the game right here on the Big

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>One seven hundred WLW. ESPN's College Game Day was at

0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Utah this morning and the scene outside Rice Eclels Stadium

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>was absolutely insane with the ute meter registering ear splitting

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>decibels in preparation for this game. And not only do

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>sports fans have UC in Utah football tonight, but we

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>have Game seven of the World Series between the visiting

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays colliding in

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:34.239
<v Speaker 1>the winner take all game at Toronto's Rogers Center. I'm

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>told that the US audience has been hitting the snooze button,

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:44.239
<v Speaker 1>but in Canada and Japan, viewership has been a global

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>success for Major League Baseball and last night's Game six

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>was must see TV. It's the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>out a three to one victory to tie this series

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>up at three games apiece. Game six, Jay's leading the

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:08.239
<v Speaker 1>series three games to two, but they got to come back,

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>or try to from a three to one deficit. Bottom

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>of the ninth, Alejandro Kirk, the Blue Jays catcher, gets

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>hit by a pitch and pinch runner Miles Straw takes

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>his place at first base, no outs. Then Addison bam

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>bam Barger hits a line drive in the gap at

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>left center. It will score one run, possibly two to

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>tie the game, but no, the ball gets caught under

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the outfield wall on the fly. It's a ground rule double.

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Runners are on second and third base, still no outs,

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and then Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, as if he was

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>touched on the shoulder by an angel, makes a pitching

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>change for the ages. He calls on Tyler glass Now

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>to replace Roki Sazaki. Three pitches later, the game is over.

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Ernie Clement pops out to Freddie Freeman on the first pitch,

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:38.360
<v Speaker 1>one out. Then Andrei's Jim Andez steps to the plate

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 1>and after taking a ball, he hits a low line

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.280
<v Speaker 1>drive to left center. Looked like it was going to

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>fall in, but no keyth k Hernandez picks it off

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:55.359
<v Speaker 1>for out number two and then heads up play. He

0:04:55.560 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>fires to a covering Miguel Rojas at second base. Bam bam.

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Barger was too far off second base. He leaked off

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 1>too far, tried to get back but couldn't double play.

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Game over. Did you watch? I did, Must see TV?

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 1>But it sets up a winner take all Game seven tonight. Wow,

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>what a night you see football? In Game seven of

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the World Series. And we'll get into some Bengals conversation

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 1>after we take this break, because tomorrow dare we say

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:54.160
<v Speaker 1>it a must win game for your Cincinnati Bengals. To

0:05:54.440 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>fall three and six with a loss done, heason over.

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>But if they can manage to claw, kick, fights, scratch

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 1>and claw out of victory over the Chicago Bears tomorrow

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>to get the four and five at their bye week,

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe they're still hope. But what I want to know

0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>is what did last week's game do to you as

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a fan? It left me and others absolutely numb. And

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>that includes the host of sports talk on seven hundred

<v Speaker 1>Wig Sports Talk till nine to fifteen tonight on seven

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred WLW. Welcome back to sports talk here on seven

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred WLW with your host Chick Ludwig. And before we

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>go to the phones and we appreciate the callers. With

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Lance McAllister's permission to read his blog post from seven

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred WLW dot com and he also posted it on

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 1>his Facebook page. Sunday Cincinnati Bengals lost did something to me.

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>It made me wonder if I'm doing this wrong. I

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>rode the fast start wave of two to zero. I

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>crashed midway through Week two with the devastation of the

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrow injury. I got worn watching a four game

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 1>losing street. Following the win over the Steelers, I allowed

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>myself to plot a path to a five and four

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>record at the bye and start constructing a bridge to

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the potential mid December return of Burrow. Then Sunday happened.

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I felt cuss out loud, angry Sunday night. I asked

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>myself why I allow all of this to bother me.

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.439
<v Speaker 1>The team lacks enough talent. It's not a team as

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>much as a couple of great players, a handful of

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 1>decent players, a group of just guys, and a smattering

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>of never will be's. This team can't tackle the most

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:08.720
<v Speaker 1>basic of NFL exercises. Words like accountability are thrown around weekly,

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 1>but never applied to anyone above the players. We were

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>sold this season under the guys that won. Lou An

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Arumo was the problem, and two the young guys would

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>get better, and three the bad luck of a year

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>ago would even out this season. The result, they sacrificed

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>a good man that has found success in Indianapolis, while

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>the defense has been revealed as the worst in the league.

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Year six of Burrow could be the third straight missing

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. That doesn't make me sad, it makes me furious.

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>The de facto GM operates behind a curtain, leaving the

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>coach as the face and explainer of all my talking

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>points about Zach the play caller are yellowed, fading, and

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>crinkled from so much use. Yes, they've lost five of six,

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>but they sit just a game and a half back

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>of Pittsburgh in a wide open division. Nine opportunities remain,

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>and Joe Flacco has infused optimism into a dire situation.

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>And I find hope in seeing Burrow walk the sidelines

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:16.079
<v Speaker 1>without a protective boot. Come Sunday, I'll be locked in again,

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>like all the previous games over fifty plus years. I'll

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 1>talk about them, I'll take your calls about them. But

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>when the Bengals lost Sunday, something changed. I wonder if

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.560
<v Speaker 1>it's worth getting upset anymore. Maybe I'm just tired of

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>putting in more than I'm getting out with all of this.

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>How about you? I was absolutely numb. I was broadcasting

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>live Bengals postgame sports talk at the Wings and Rings

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>on Beachmont Avenue. I had to leave the Miamisburg war

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Room after the third quarter, and then I'm listening to

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:56.839
<v Speaker 1>the broadcast, and I just knew you could see it coming.

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.920
<v Speaker 1>With a two point conversion by the Jets coming within

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>six and then the Bengals going three and out, you

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.680
<v Speaker 1>could see it coming. Bengals lose thirty nine to thirty eight,

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>leaving me numb and Lance McAllister's post on the money,

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Let's go out to the phones. Dennis is in Bellbrook.

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Dennis how are you doing tonight?

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Hey?

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 3>How you doing?

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 4>Man?

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Awesome?

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Brother?

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 4>How are you doing?

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 3>Man?

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic?

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.559
<v Speaker 5>Hey? The guy who spot on Lance's spot on everything

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 5>took the family out once a year, we'll go to

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.679
<v Speaker 5>the Bengals game, go all out. I dropped a pretty

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 5>good coin on this game. Family of five. My son,

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.560
<v Speaker 5>my nine year old, was devastated. He was crying at

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 5>the end of the game. He's like, Daddy, why don't

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 5>they tackle?

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.280
<v Speaker 4>Why are they letting them go? I'm like, I don't know.

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 5>So it's hardening, man, it's disheartening as a Bengal fan.

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.720
<v Speaker 5>Been doing this stuff for forty fifty years now, it's like,

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:51.959
<v Speaker 5>you know what's going on here?

0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 6>You know?

0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>And Dennis, what hurt What hurt me most of all

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 1>was the fact that it was the Ring of Honor game.

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Was so many Bengals emagends and alumni back for that game.

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Amen.

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 5>Amen, It's yeah, it's just devastating.

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:07.439
<v Speaker 4>Man.

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 5>My wife, uh, you know, I got her into the

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 5>Bengals fan thing, and once they scored that two point conversion,

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 5>once they overturned it was a replay, you know, they

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.680
<v Speaker 5>went over. She goes there to lose, and I go

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 5>oh my god, no, please no, And then yeah, my

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 5>family was actually devastated. It was it was not a

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 5>good thing by poor son, God bless him. He was

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 5>his crying nine year old. You know, you're like, why

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 5>aren't they stopping him? Why aren't they you know, why

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 5>aren't they tackling I'm like, oh my god.

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh so anyway, hey, thank you so much. All right,

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:42.199
<v Speaker 1>hey you bet, let's go out to Kevin in Columbus,

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:42.839
<v Speaker 1>our good friend.

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, with or without Burrow. You know, it's it's

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 3>the same basic problem.

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:48.920
<v Speaker 1>You do.

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 3>You know that, and we must be setting some kind

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 3>of record for scoring thirty points or more and still losing.

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, they keep a stat like that, But it

0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 3>is that they could have lost the Pittsburgh game the

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 3>same way. They're lucky, and we were hoping they'd pull

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.560
<v Speaker 3>that game Sunday out just left the Pittsburgh game. But

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, living like this is it just how can

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 3>you win consistently when you can't stop anyone?

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Even though.

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, the worst team in the league.

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, even the Jets. I was happy as an Ohio

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.720
<v Speaker 1>State fan. I was happy for Justin Fields. He got

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.079
<v Speaker 1>ripped apart by the owner, by the owner and then

0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the center starting center for the Jets. Josh Myers from

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Miamisburg High School. UH know him personally, uh, Ohio State.

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Star.

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.200
<v Speaker 1>And then four years with the Green Bay Packers. They

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>chose not to re sign him, so he's on a

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 1>one year prove it deal and uh, I find myself

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 1>rooting hard for Josh Myers, and uh but Owen seven.

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 1>You know how this league is, Kevin, You know how

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 1>this league is at Owen seven. The league wants that

0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>team to win. And in a way, you know, stunned.

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I was upset, But at the same time, it's the NFL.

0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>It's any given Sunday.

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.080
<v Speaker 3>Yep, Hey, can I say one more thing? And you're

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.560
<v Speaker 3>saying this about the Bengals, it's the same with the

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Reds all.

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 6>Season, you know, oh yeah, yo.

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 3>They have hope and they all were crushed and it's

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 3>all back and forth, you know.

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 1>And I wonder if they're not cursed, does it go

0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>back to the bo Jackson curse?

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, who knows. But again, I'll be listening Sunday, just

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 3>like when the Reds come around. I'll be you know,

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 3>oh yeah, oh yeah, Oh. I should just do chores

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 3>forget baseball. Forget football, right, But I guess we're addicted, right,

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 3>I'll speak for myself.

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Are yeah, absolutely? Are Yeah? Another day? Yeah, thanks so much, Kevin, Yeah,

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I can Rake leaves another day up to Dayton Austin. Hey, Austin,

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>what's going on?

0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 4>Man?

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:55.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:14:55.400 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 7>That game Sunday was Oh that was a heartbreaker. I

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 7>mean it's just crazy. You know, when a football team

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 7>scores thirty eight points, you know, you would think you're winning.

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, well, in the Bengals record prior to last

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 1>season scoring thirty eight points, what fifty four and four

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and now they're like one in three in the last two.

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 7>Years, right, And it's just it's breaks my heart, you know,

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 7>because we have such great generational talent with Jamar Chase,

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 7>Joe Burrow, and I feel like, you know, to an extent,

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 7>it's it's almost like they're just being wasted away. And

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 7>you know, I hope and I you know.

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 3>The day that.

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 7>You know, they leave the Bengals, it's it's gonna hurt

0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 7>me a lot, you know, I hope they're around forever.

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.880
<v Speaker 7>But at the same time, like you know, I don't know,

0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 7>it's I guess it's the curse of being a Cincinnati fan.

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, you're absolutely right. And hey, Joe Burrow, all right,

0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>he's twenty eight years old, but he gets ready to

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>turn twenty nine on December tenth, so he's approaching the

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 1>thirty year old mark.

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 3>You know it?

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Just you want them to win a Super Bowl so

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>bad during the Joe Burrow era. And I just hope

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 1>his words were prophetic when he said the windows always

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.720
<v Speaker 1>open as far as uh, as long as he's the quarterback.

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's just as Bengals fans, let's hope so right, I agree,

0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 1>all right, man Austin, appreciate you. Yep, thank you, thank you.

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>And tomorrow the Chicago Bears Caleb Williams as the quarterback.

0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 1>He's a playmaker, he can extend plays. He's dangerous. The

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Chicago Bears are dangerous. What's going to happen if the

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Bears come in here and beat the Bengals tomorrow and

0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals fall to three and six? Do we start

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.640
<v Speaker 1>planning for the draft next year?

0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:07.040
<v Speaker 8>Hey?

0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 1>The trade deadline's coming up on Tuesday? Is it time

0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:19.200
<v Speaker 1>to ship out Trey Hendrickson and Logan Wilson, two leaders

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:27.400
<v Speaker 1>on this defense? Bengals don't make too many in season trades,

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and that will be something to really really watch for

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 1>if they would pull the trigger and pull off a trade.

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.200
<v Speaker 1>All I know is tomorrow is a must win. They've

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.680
<v Speaker 1>got to get to four and five at their bye

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 1>week and then get ready to play oh on the

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.679
<v Speaker 1>road the Pittsburgh Steelers. And oh, by the way, Lamar

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Jackson is back for the Baltimore Ravens and that team

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 1>is going to get healthy in a hurry. Hey, have

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 1>we reached the bottom of the hour? News? Bruce Kazerski,

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Bengals legend, joins the Chickster next on seven hundred WLW

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.959
<v Speaker 1>six point thirty eight in the Queens City of Cincinnati.

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Chick Ludwig, seven hundred WLW. We're trying to hook up

0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:34.040
<v Speaker 1>here with Bengals legend Bruce Kazerski, and Bruce is at

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a function tonight at Holy Cross High School in northern Kentucky.

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 1>He said he would step out and talk to us.

0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>So we're trying to hook up with Bruce here and

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.959
<v Speaker 1>Bruce and I will be co hosting Bengals postgame sports

0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>talk tomorrow live on seven hundred WLW and Cincinnati's ESPN

0:18:54.640 --> 0:19:00.199
<v Speaker 1>fifteen thirty from Wings and Rings in at Oakley, So

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to that. But once again Bengals at three

0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:24.199
<v Speaker 1>and five against the Bears four and three. Okay, so

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 1>we're trying to hook up with Bruce and until then, Hey,

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:36.159
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals, what did last week do to you? It

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:42.919
<v Speaker 1>absolutely left me numb, you know, following this team since

0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 1>its inception in nineteen sixty eight and then twelve years

0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 1>on the Bengals beat for the Dayton Daily News, and

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I batted about one AOI won about thirty percent of

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the games when and I was on the beat. So

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow is very, very important and a handful of guys

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 1>who are going to play a key role in this

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:18.680
<v Speaker 1>game tomorrow. With starter DeAndre Swift out for the Chicago Bears,

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:26.720
<v Speaker 1>the running back Kyle Menoinge is is going to be huge.

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 1>Can the Bengals tackle him? The tackling is like the

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:39.720
<v Speaker 1>worst part of this defense. And it was a touchdown

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.640
<v Speaker 1>run last week by the Jets where the running back

0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 1>goes over the left side of the line and the

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Bengals had overloaded the other side, and you could see

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:58.240
<v Speaker 1>it as plain as day as the play was developing.

0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:03.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm there, get those guys over on the other side. Touchdown.

0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Incredible and it just hurt the way the Bengals melted

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 1>down in the fourth quarter twenty three points. Well, hey,

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 1>we've hooked up here with with Bruce Kazerski. Bruce, thanks

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:24.919
<v Speaker 1>so much, thank you for your patience and great to

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>have you back on seven hundred WLW.

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 9>Chick let's look get it, let's get it on again.

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 9>Another another opportunity here. I'm going to be very positive

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:35.560
<v Speaker 9>right now. Yes, very positive. I think we got we

0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 9>can really do this this weekend.

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic And Bruce, tell the listeners where you are. I

0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>know you're in a fundraiser for a very important important

0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:45.359
<v Speaker 1>role tonight.

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm run.

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.840
<v Speaker 9>A sports FLIC fundraiser for Holy Cross High School in Coverington.

0:21:50.880 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 9>I'm sitting just opposite the gymnasium in my classroom where

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:56.800
<v Speaker 9>I teach physics and calculus.

0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.320
<v Speaker 4>And I pulled away for a few minutes to handle

0:21:59.320 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 4>the chickster.

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>That's fantastic. And Bruce, you're teaching the high powered physics

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 1>uh in math man, it's uh. I go back to

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:15.120
<v Speaker 1>what John Kittn has said, being a math major at

0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Eastern Washington helped him as a quarterback with all the

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:21.480
<v Speaker 1>angles and everything. Did it help you as an offensive lineman?

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:22.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 9>It was incredible. The logic, the logic of math and

0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 9>science has helped me every everywhere I went, you know,

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:33.640
<v Speaker 9>in the NFL playing center, and you you know, our

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:35.679
<v Speaker 9>our partner Dave Lapan can tell us, can tell you

0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 9>the same thing. You've got to be smart, and you

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 9>got to be intuitive. You got to know what's coming.

0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 9>And the only way to do that is to be educated.

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:46.399
<v Speaker 4>Uh. And and that's that's why I made it.

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:48.960
<v Speaker 9>I'm from a small college in Worcester, Massachusett, Holy Cross

0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 9>College in Worstern, Massachusetts. And I made it because I

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 9>was smart, could handle the playbook and handle all the

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:56.640
<v Speaker 9>adjustments and get the word out both right and left.

0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 9>And and I'm very proud of that fact.

0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:01.560
<v Speaker 1>When I when I substitute teach in either math or science,

0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm more of a language arts guy, of course,

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 1>and history. I say science is everywhere, and I say

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:12.719
<v Speaker 1>it in math too, Math is everywhere. So and it's

0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 1>so true, it's so true.

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 9>And the kids, the kids wonder when they're going to

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:20.360
<v Speaker 9>use this stuff, right, They have no idea that everything

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 9>everything they do in life.

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.240
<v Speaker 4>Involves some type of.

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 9>Math and science and the common sense of either one.

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, math teachers want, uh, you know, not just the

0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 1>correct answer, but all the steps that get you there.

0:23:34.320 --> 0:23:37.360
<v Speaker 1>And I tell them, you're going to run into problems,

0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, in life, and you've got to go about

0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:45.480
<v Speaker 1>them systematically to get the answer. It's that same.

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 9>Maybe one of the most maybe one of the most

0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:50.920
<v Speaker 9>important parts about both of these subjects is is the

0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 9>the order of operations and the logic, the ability to

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:59.159
<v Speaker 9>analyze the situation and then create or synthesize the solution.

0:23:58.880 --> 0:23:59.880
<v Speaker 4>That will do the job.

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 9>You know, it may not be the best solution, but

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:05.640
<v Speaker 9>but there might be many good solutions, and all would

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 9>did do is sympthesize one that works. And that's where

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 9>we are. Physics is the study of common sense.

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:12.400
<v Speaker 4>That's what I mador in college.

0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic stuff. You're Bruce, And I asked fans out there,

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:21.119
<v Speaker 1>what did last Sunday's loss due to them? I know

0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:25.760
<v Speaker 1>it left me numb, It left Lance McAllister Gosha cussing

0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 1>out loud, angry, and what did it do to you?

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:31.680
<v Speaker 1>And what was so upsetting for me was the fact

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:35.280
<v Speaker 1>that so many Bengals alumni were there to honor Dave

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:38.919
<v Speaker 1>Lapham and leaping Lamar Parrish for the Ring of Honor,

0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 1>and uh, gosh that it just killed me to see that.

0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:47.280
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, the wins in this league are so hard to

0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 9>come by, and as we found out, even with Joe

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:52.840
<v Speaker 9>Burrow at quarterback, when you lose the first three games,

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 9>it's very difficult to get back into the race. You're

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:59.000
<v Speaker 9>trailing the entire league, not only your conference. We got

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:01.320
<v Speaker 9>off to a two and oh Star lost four.

0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 4>Or five in a row.

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 9>Flacco came in and and and beat Pittsburgh in fantastic

0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:09.719
<v Speaker 9>fashion with outstanding got Uh. Uh a great. I had

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 9>played great last week, a lot of points on the board.

0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:14.000
<v Speaker 9>Defense couldn't good, couldn't win.

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:15.880
<v Speaker 4>And that's that's.

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 9>Almost what's been happening in all seasons, the defense as

0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 9>badly as the offense has played. Uh that you didn't

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:23.600
<v Speaker 9>recognize how poor the defense had played.

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:24.399
<v Speaker 4>And and I'm.

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.399
<v Speaker 9>Glad they had this defense player all player only meeting

0:25:27.960 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 9>this week.

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 4>I think they needed. They needed to.

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.280
<v Speaker 9>Clear their heads and and uh, you know, figure out

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:34.199
<v Speaker 9>who's the front runner and who the real players are,

0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 9>because that's what the Steve needs right now.

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:37.320
<v Speaker 4>They need leadership, and they.

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 9>He's someone who's gonna get the job done when it's tough.

0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:43.720
<v Speaker 9>It's not always easy, and there's a turning point in

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:46.679
<v Speaker 9>this league where you're seeing either goes up and you

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 9>get on a roll, or it goes down and you're

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.880
<v Speaker 9>you're waiting for for the for the postseason to start

0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:53.879
<v Speaker 9>with somebody else in it because you you've lost too

0:25:53.920 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 9>many games. Last week was a game they should have won.

0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:59.000
<v Speaker 9>They had it won, they couldn't pull it off, and

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 9>now they're behind the eight ball. They had a chance

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.160
<v Speaker 9>to get right back into the to the North race

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.280
<v Speaker 9>a game behind Pittsburgh a half game back because they

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 9>beat him and they laid the golden egg.

0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:12.920
<v Speaker 1>And it looks like the running game which has come

0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:16.359
<v Speaker 1>to life these last two games. That is one huge positive.

0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 1>And isn't the running game the best friend of a quarterback.

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:25.600
<v Speaker 9>It's always been to me the most integral part, you know.

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 9>And and I love Joe. I think he can take

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 9>this team to a world championship, but he has to

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:32.800
<v Speaker 9>understand that the NFL is a league that has to

0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 9>have passing, it has to have running. You have to

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:37.120
<v Speaker 9>be able to run the ball and then it gives

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:38.679
<v Speaker 9>you more time in the pocket. You can do all

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:41.920
<v Speaker 9>kind of play action stuff. It's amazing the success you

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:43.520
<v Speaker 9>can have when you can run the ball. In the

0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 9>last two weeks under Flaca, you've seen the Bengals run

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:49.360
<v Speaker 9>the ball and the benefit he doesn't get all kinds

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:52.199
<v Speaker 9>of blitzes and stunts and and twists because they're just

0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:54.760
<v Speaker 9>rushing to an X in the backfield and and and

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 9>and tackling a spot. You know that the quarterback is

0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:01.000
<v Speaker 9>getting rid of the ball quick because he has time.

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes he has time to.

0:27:02.400 --> 0:27:04.080
<v Speaker 9>Actually throw the ball down the field, like he hits

0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 9>the Higgins last week. And so you've got to be

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:08.800
<v Speaker 9>able to run the ball in this league if you

0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 9>want to be a winner.

0:27:09.760 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 1>And Scott Peters, the offensive line coach, I mean, it's

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:15.520
<v Speaker 1>taken a while, but it looks like the offensive line

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:20.760
<v Speaker 1>is is coming around, and man, they just it's got

0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:24.159
<v Speaker 1>to be complimented with a solid defense. And it's just

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 1>been a struggle.

0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:29.679
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, that's been that's been. Another part of this is

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 9>the the uncomplimentary parts of the football team. A couple

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 9>of weeks they played good offense, defense, special teams, cut

0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:38.880
<v Speaker 9>kick the ball into the end zone every day. Pun

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 9>of the ball into the end zone every time. Then

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:43.560
<v Speaker 9>then and when you can at least afford the defense

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:44.959
<v Speaker 9>to give up the big play, then when you can

0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:47.000
<v Speaker 9>at least afford it, you know, we turn the ball

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:49.400
<v Speaker 9>over and it's it's just not complimentary.

0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:50.760
<v Speaker 4>But I'm being positive here.

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I checked, yes, I.

0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:53.200
<v Speaker 4>Believe this is this is the week where they.

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 9>Turn it all around, all three phases, get it together,

0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:57.440
<v Speaker 9>and they play their guts out.

0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:00.440
<v Speaker 4>At this point, their backs the wall.

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:04.760
<v Speaker 9>They cannot lose another game to the Jets and the

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:07.239
<v Speaker 9>Bears and expect to compete in this league, even though

0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:09.880
<v Speaker 9>they have a bye week, because that bye week it's

0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:12.600
<v Speaker 9>only a week. But if you lose these two going

0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 9>into that bye week, it'll seem like a month.

0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 1>You're absolutely right about that, Bruce Kazerski. And to get

0:28:19.080 --> 0:28:21.959
<v Speaker 1>to four and five at the bye and then you

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:24.199
<v Speaker 1>come out and hey, you go to you go to

0:28:24.240 --> 0:28:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh and there's still time, there's there's hope. But three

0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:32.960
<v Speaker 1>and six, three games under five hundred, man, that's an

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 1>absolute killer.

0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 9>Well, the problem with losing games you shouldn't lose is

0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:42.040
<v Speaker 9>that someone in your league, someone in your conference, is

0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 9>pulling away from you. Now Baltimore is getting getting hot

0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:49.080
<v Speaker 9>again Jackson's back, and they're gonna they're gonna start to compete,

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:51.120
<v Speaker 9>you know. So it could be a could be a

0:28:51.120 --> 0:28:53.640
<v Speaker 9>three team race if we play well enough to compete.

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:56.840
<v Speaker 9>If if we lose games we're not supposed to lose,

0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 9>then we're just gonna fall to the wayside, like we

0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 9>we we know we can. And and Cincinnati deserves it.

0:29:03.400 --> 0:29:06.520
<v Speaker 9>They deserved this winning team. Uh, Joe Flock was busted

0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:08.880
<v Speaker 9>his butt. The offense played well.

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 4>Enough to win. Defense should step it up this week.

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 4>And I think they know that. I trust that they

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:13.720
<v Speaker 4>know that.

0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 1>And protecting your home so faive, yeah, and protecting your

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 1>home field. Man, you got to win at home. And

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to lose that home game to the Jets just uh,

0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, you're right, Bruce. Let's stay positive and bring

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:30.880
<v Speaker 1>some fans out to the wings and rings.

0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 9>Total busted experience, A total busted experience with the Ring

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 9>of Honor induction. Two great players and and uh they

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:39.640
<v Speaker 9>have a big league at the end, you know.

0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 4>And and to lay.

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:44.360
<v Speaker 9>The egg down the stretch of the fourth quarter. And

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:46.800
<v Speaker 9>as well as the offensive player you harped on this

0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:49.360
<v Speaker 9>at the in the post game last year last week

0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 9>is as well as the offense played when the defense

0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:54.000
<v Speaker 9>was struggling. At the end, they couldn't get a first down,

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 9>maybe one first down and the game is over. But

0:29:56.920 --> 0:29:58.440
<v Speaker 9>you can't put that game on the offense.

0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 1>And I was traveled, you were traveling by the You know,

0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:04.960
<v Speaker 1>you leave your seat with a lead and by the

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:07.880
<v Speaker 1>time you get to your car, they're, uh, they're trailing.

0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 9>I left my seat with a fourteen point lead with

0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:13.280
<v Speaker 9>ten and ten mins thirty seconds remaining of the game.

0:30:13.320 --> 0:30:15.080
<v Speaker 9>By time I got to my my truck, they were

0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:15.720
<v Speaker 9>losing by one.

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 6>I couldn't believe it.

0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Unbelievable.

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, I heard the stadium, heard the stadium grown,

0:30:21.800 --> 0:30:23.560
<v Speaker 9>and then I heard it roar, and then I heard

0:30:23.560 --> 0:30:24.200
<v Speaker 9>them grown again.

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, now, Bruce, are you now? Are you a

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:31.000
<v Speaker 1>baseball fan? Also? Are you paying attention to the World Series?

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 9>I love baseball, but I'm really a Reds fan, and

0:30:35.040 --> 0:30:37.040
<v Speaker 9>they've been out of her for a while. This game

0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:40.080
<v Speaker 9>is irrelevant to me. Although I'd like the US team

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:42.600
<v Speaker 9>to win, I like a team for our country to win.

0:30:42.960 --> 0:30:43.480
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:46.959
<v Speaker 9>But Toronto's playing great baseball and and uh, I certainly

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:49.040
<v Speaker 9>hope it's a great game, and I don't want it

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 9>to be another eighteen ing TASCAR like they had in

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:54.120
<v Speaker 9>that one game. But yes, certainly a nice clean, a

0:30:54.200 --> 0:30:57.000
<v Speaker 9>nice clean maybe a ninth inning walk off or something

0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:59.760
<v Speaker 9>close to the end would be exciting.

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:02.960
<v Speaker 1>That'd be awesome. Well, the Cincinnati Reds were the last

0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:05.600
<v Speaker 1>National League team to go back to back in seventy

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 1>five and seventy six. I don't want the Dodgers to

0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:10.400
<v Speaker 1>do it last year and this year, so I'm rooting

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:11.360
<v Speaker 1>for the Blue Jays.

0:31:11.520 --> 0:31:14.040
<v Speaker 9>But man, yeah, and start to finish and start to

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:15.120
<v Speaker 9>finish in nineteen.

0:31:14.840 --> 0:31:18.479
<v Speaker 1>Ninety Yes, yeh, that's exactly right. Wire to wire, Bruce,

0:31:18.840 --> 0:31:21.640
<v Speaker 1>thanks so much for taking time out from your fundraiser

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:26.760
<v Speaker 1>tonight at holy Cross High School. Man, great stuff. Appreciate you,

0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Nanks shiit.

0:31:28.360 --> 0:31:29.240

<v Speaker 1>This is sports talk. Joe Waddell is tonight's producer. We're

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:02.600
<v Speaker 1>going all the way to nine fifteen and that means

0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 1>three hours and fifteen minutes of fun. And my next guest.

0:36:07.680 --> 0:36:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I had the honor, pleasure and privilege of working with

0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:14.360
<v Speaker 1>him for thirty years at the Dayton Daily News. He's

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 1>in Cooperstown as a Hall of Fame baseball writer and

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:22.600
<v Speaker 1>to paraphrase bum Phillips, he may not be the greatest

0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:26.680
<v Speaker 1>baseball rider in history, but it's sure don't take long

0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to call roll. Welcome to seven hundred WLW once again,

0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Hal McCoy, how are you how?

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:35.560
<v Speaker 6>I'm doing great? Check and I hope you are too.

0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, And is there anything more exciting than Game seven?

0:36:41.920 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 6>That's the best thing in sports, you know. I was

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:47.480
<v Speaker 6>hoping that the Blue Jays would end it in six

0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:50.160
<v Speaker 6>because I do not want to see the Dodgers win it.

0:36:50.640 --> 0:36:54.560
<v Speaker 6>But Game seven is just the ultimate in sports, winner

0:36:54.680 --> 0:36:58.880
<v Speaker 6>take all, do or die all on the line. And

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:04.120
<v Speaker 6>what about last night Game six, Must see TV? Absolutely unbelievable.

0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 6>The Dodgers win three to one to force a Game seven,

0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:13.120
<v Speaker 6>and the way they did it just unbelievable. It was

0:37:13.239 --> 0:37:17.120
<v Speaker 6>like Dave Roberts, the manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers,

0:37:17.239 --> 0:37:19.879
<v Speaker 6>an angel touched him on the shoulder and said, put

0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:25.360
<v Speaker 6>in Tyler Glasgow Glass now, who makes three pitches and

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:31.040
<v Speaker 6>gets three outs. Yeah, unbelievable. And he's supposed to start

0:37:31.080 --> 0:37:34.839
<v Speaker 6>to Game seven. But what a finish to that game.

0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:37.800
<v Speaker 6>I have never seen any game, let alone a World

0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:41.160
<v Speaker 6>Series game end up on a double play started by

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:44.320
<v Speaker 6>an outfielder. I mean the Blue Jays head Runners on

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:46.959
<v Speaker 6>a second and third nobody out. I thought they're gonna

0:37:46.960 --> 0:37:51.279
<v Speaker 6>at least tie this game. And then first of all,

0:37:51.320 --> 0:37:53.560
<v Speaker 6>the ball gets stuck under the wall that keeps him

0:37:53.560 --> 0:37:58.080
<v Speaker 6>from scoring around ground road double and then the line

0:37:58.200 --> 0:38:01.759
<v Speaker 6>drive to left field and keep her Nanus doubles him

0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:04.319
<v Speaker 6>off second base to end the game. Just unbelievable.

0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Tyler Glass now replaces Roki Sizaki, and three pitches later,

0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the game's over. Ernie Klement pops out to Freddie Freeman

0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:16.120
<v Speaker 1>on the first pitch. Then Andre's jim Andez steps to

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:18.399
<v Speaker 1>the plate after taking a ball, he hits that low

0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:22.000
<v Speaker 1>line drive to left center Keith Gay Hernandez picks it

0:38:22.040 --> 0:38:24.960
<v Speaker 1>off and then he has the wherewithal gosh the fire

0:38:25.040 --> 0:38:28.520
<v Speaker 1>to a covering Miguel Rojas at second base. Bam bam

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Barger with that double in the ball on a fly

0:38:31.960 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 1>hits underneath the wall. Incredible. He leaks too far off

0:38:35.640 --> 0:38:39.080
<v Speaker 1>second base, tried to get back double play game over

0:38:39.440 --> 0:38:42.640
<v Speaker 1>three pitches by glass. Now you're right, Hall, I've never

0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:44.560
<v Speaker 1>seen anything, never seen anything.

0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:47.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Key, Key was so alert. I mean he cuts

0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:49.799
<v Speaker 6>that ball on the fly and in one motion, in

0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:53.480
<v Speaker 6>an instant, he throws a double bouncer to second base

0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:57.040
<v Speaker 6>to double the runner off. I've never seen anything like it.

0:38:57.120 --> 0:39:00.839
<v Speaker 6>But if you cover baseball long enough, they say every

0:39:00.880 --> 0:39:02.760
<v Speaker 6>week you see something you've never seen before.

0:39:02.880 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly right, almost on a daily basis, if you

0:39:06.239 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 1>go to the ballpark, just incredible, and that brings us

0:39:10.640 --> 0:39:13.360
<v Speaker 1>how to You know, as I'm watching the World Series,

0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking of the Cincinnati Reds and man, this is

0:39:16.320 --> 0:39:19.000
<v Speaker 1>how good you have to be to be one of

0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the final two teams standing.

0:39:22.160 --> 0:39:26.280
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was very nice and exciting for the Reds

0:39:26.280 --> 0:39:28.600
<v Speaker 6>to make it to the playoffs, but you know they

0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:31.560
<v Speaker 6>were the last wild card team and then happen to

0:39:31.560 --> 0:39:35.160
<v Speaker 6>play the Dodgers, and you were pretty sure that that

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:38.440
<v Speaker 6>was as far as they were going to go, because

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:41.319
<v Speaker 6>the Dodgers have it all, I mean, all the MVPs

0:39:41.320 --> 0:39:44.000
<v Speaker 6>they have on that team, all the money they've spent.

0:39:44.239 --> 0:39:45.719
<v Speaker 6>They are where they should.

0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Be and just looking at gosh, potential free agents here

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:52.200
<v Speaker 1>or guys that will become free agents once the World

0:39:52.280 --> 0:39:56.719
<v Speaker 1>Series is over. We're looking at Miguel Andrew Harr and

0:39:56.760 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 1>then the pitchers a Zach Lyttel, Nick Martinez and Emilio

0:39:59.719 --> 0:40:03.400
<v Speaker 1>put Gone along with Wade Miley. And there's just a

0:40:03.400 --> 0:40:06.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of tough decisions facing the Cincinnati Reds here because

0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:10.280
<v Speaker 1>they need hitting and they've got some pitching.

0:40:11.760 --> 0:40:15.160
<v Speaker 6>Yes, absolutely, it would not be surprising to me if

0:40:16.000 --> 0:40:18.799
<v Speaker 6>they might dangle Hunter Green out there to or get

0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:22.719
<v Speaker 6>two or three good prospects. You've gotta love Hunter Green,

0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:26.560
<v Speaker 6>but he's susceptible to injuries that looks like and you

0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:29.040
<v Speaker 6>don't know if that's going to continue throughout his career.

0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:33.040
<v Speaker 6>But he could bring a pretty good haul. But yeah,

0:40:33.080 --> 0:40:35.799
<v Speaker 6>you're absolutely right. They have a lot of decisions to make,

0:40:35.880 --> 0:40:40.160
<v Speaker 6>and one of them that I keep harping on is

0:40:40.440 --> 0:40:43.680
<v Speaker 6>I think they they just got to move Eli Dela

0:40:43.760 --> 0:40:46.440
<v Speaker 6>Cruz to center field. It just makes too much sense.

0:40:47.280 --> 0:40:49.400
<v Speaker 6>We all know that he leads the league at errors

0:40:49.440 --> 0:40:52.279
<v Speaker 6>the last two years at shortstop. I think he would

0:40:52.280 --> 0:40:57.280
<v Speaker 6>make a fantastic center fielder with his arm, with his speed,

0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:01.839
<v Speaker 6>his arm wouldn't be as erratic at centerfield as it is.

0:41:01.880 --> 0:41:04.920
<v Speaker 6>It's a shortstop, and he got a shortstop coming up,

0:41:04.960 --> 0:41:07.960
<v Speaker 6>and then Edwin Arroyo, who is very, very good, and

0:41:08.000 --> 0:41:12.560
<v Speaker 6>I think he was fit nicely in at shortstop. But

0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:16.399
<v Speaker 6>the only time in my career that the Reds ever

0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:19.560
<v Speaker 6>asked my opinion of anything was in nineteen ninety when

0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:22.239
<v Speaker 6>lou Penella took over the team and he asked me

0:41:22.280 --> 0:41:24.040
<v Speaker 6>what the team needed, and I said it needed a

0:41:24.120 --> 0:41:26.600
<v Speaker 6>lead off hitter, and I thought, very lark it would

0:41:26.600 --> 0:41:29.359
<v Speaker 6>be a good choice, and that's what he did, and

0:41:29.640 --> 0:41:31.920
<v Speaker 6>he thanked me after the season, but I didn't get

0:41:31.960 --> 0:41:33.520
<v Speaker 6>a share of the World Series money.

0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh that is awesome, and yeah, think of the

0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:40.640
<v Speaker 1>ground he can cover out in center field, of his length,

0:41:40.719 --> 0:41:43.760
<v Speaker 1>his reach, his speed, and it might take some pressure

0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:47.160
<v Speaker 1>off of him at the plate exactly.

0:41:47.200 --> 0:41:48.520
<v Speaker 6>I said it was going to be the next thing

0:41:48.600 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 6>right out of my mouth. We've been together too long, Hick.

0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:54.440
<v Speaker 6>I was going to say, absolutely, there's less less pressure

0:41:54.520 --> 0:41:58.200
<v Speaker 6>playing centerfield than this playing shortstop, and that would I

0:41:58.239 --> 0:42:01.719
<v Speaker 6>think it would help his off mentally and take his

0:42:01.800 --> 0:42:03.120
<v Speaker 6>mind off a few things.

0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:04.200
<v Speaker 4>I agree.

0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:08.120
<v Speaker 1>And just looking at players with club options, man Austin Hayes,

0:42:08.160 --> 0:42:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's a that's a pretty penny there at

0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:15.120
<v Speaker 1>twelve million mutual option, one million dollar buyout, Bran Suiters

0:42:15.160 --> 0:42:17.560
<v Speaker 1>out there at three million or a two hundred and

0:42:17.560 --> 0:42:21.479
<v Speaker 1>fifty thousand dollars buyout, Scott Barlow six and a half

0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:25.080
<v Speaker 1>million option or a one million dollar buyout. So and

0:42:25.120 --> 0:42:28.360
<v Speaker 1>then a ton of guys you know, eligible for arbitration.

0:42:28.840 --> 0:42:32.839
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, man Nick, Yeah, Crawl and his yea yeah.

0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:35.160
<v Speaker 1>And as lieutenants have a lot of work to do here,

0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes they do.

0:42:37.120 --> 0:42:39.279
<v Speaker 6>It's going to be very interesting to see because, as

0:42:39.320 --> 0:42:43.719
<v Speaker 6>you mentioned, about about half the roster needs to have

0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:47.160
<v Speaker 6>some decisions made, so it's going to be interesting to

0:42:47.200 --> 0:42:49.759
<v Speaker 6>see which way they go. Like I say, they just

0:42:50.520 --> 0:42:52.280
<v Speaker 6>have a lot of things out there to think about.

0:42:53.080 --> 0:42:55.920
<v Speaker 1>And another thing we have in common. We love Chavez

0:42:56.040 --> 0:42:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Ravine Dodger Stadium. But the Reds were the last Nation

0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:02.479
<v Speaker 1>League team to go back to back. How we don't

0:43:02.480 --> 0:43:03.719
<v Speaker 1>want the Dodgers to do it.

0:43:05.040 --> 0:43:07.960
<v Speaker 6>No, we don't their last team in the National League

0:43:08.000 --> 0:43:09.879
<v Speaker 6>to go back to back. Horse the Yankees have done

0:43:09.920 --> 0:43:13.520
<v Speaker 6>in the American League. But yeah, you and I were

0:43:13.640 --> 0:43:16.680
<v Speaker 6>part of that when the Rents went out there in

0:43:16.800 --> 0:43:21.399
<v Speaker 6>nineteen ninety and seventy five and seventy six. They went

0:43:21.440 --> 0:43:24.960
<v Speaker 6>back to back, last National League team to do it.

0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:28.880
<v Speaker 6>Just another reason that I'm rooting against the Dodgers tonight.

0:43:29.000 --> 0:43:33.920
<v Speaker 6>And let's hope that Max Scherzer's got it. You know,

0:43:33.960 --> 0:43:37.680
<v Speaker 6>he's played on four World Series teams and he has

0:43:37.760 --> 0:43:41.600
<v Speaker 6>started one other game seven so forty years old, but

0:43:41.640 --> 0:43:46.400
<v Speaker 6>he's got a lot of moxie. And the Dodgers pitching,

0:43:46.600 --> 0:43:48.880
<v Speaker 6>I know they're going to see a lot of guys tonight,

0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:53.920
<v Speaker 6>including shohe Otani, who plays in a higher league than

0:43:53.960 --> 0:43:57.200
<v Speaker 6>the major leagues. But it should be interesting to see

0:43:57.200 --> 0:43:58.799
<v Speaker 6>if Sures can hold him down.

0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Now, I know on your Facebook page and the writing

0:44:02.360 --> 0:44:06.960
<v Speaker 1>is still as crisp and as great as ever, Hal,

0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:11.120
<v Speaker 1>And you mentioned a guy that reaches base nine times,

0:44:11.320 --> 0:44:14.600
<v Speaker 1>what five intentional walks? You know, a little bit cowardly,

0:44:14.960 --> 0:44:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey man, up, Yes see, if you can't get this

0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:18.920
<v Speaker 1>cat owl.

0:44:20.000 --> 0:44:23.319
<v Speaker 6>That's right, that's I would like to see him do

0:44:23.400 --> 0:44:26.240
<v Speaker 6>something about intentional logs because he can't do it, because

0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:29.160
<v Speaker 6>they'll still find a way to walk a guy if

0:44:29.160 --> 0:44:33.160
<v Speaker 6>they want to. But you know, the guy is a superstar,

0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:36.160
<v Speaker 6>but he doesn't He doesn't hit a home run or

0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:41.759
<v Speaker 6>get a base at every time. Up just really kind

0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:47.080
<v Speaker 6>of made me think not so nicely of the Blue

0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:50.200
<v Speaker 6>Jays for walking him four times in one game.

0:44:50.840 --> 0:44:54.720
<v Speaker 1>And it's hard to believe Hal McCoy that nineteen ninety five,

0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:58.560
<v Speaker 1>we were at Chavez Ravine and it was the last

0:44:58.840 --> 0:45:03.759
<v Speaker 1>series the Reds have the Reds of one and then

0:45:04.200 --> 0:45:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and then Atlanta happened. Yeah, and then Atlanta happened.

0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:15.600
<v Speaker 6>Yes, Atlanta happened. Got the general manager Jim uh what

0:45:15.760 --> 0:45:16.480
<v Speaker 6>was his name at the.

0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:21.720
<v Speaker 10>Time, Jim Jim Bowden Jim Bowden, Yeah, or as Marty

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:24.360
<v Speaker 10>calls him, all the leather Pants had the great idea

0:45:24.480 --> 0:45:27.120
<v Speaker 10>that they should start all left handers against the Braves.

0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:31.200
<v Speaker 6>It's the braves were susceptible against left handers. Well it

0:45:31.280 --> 0:45:34.359
<v Speaker 6>didn't work. They got blown out, but it wasn't nice.

0:45:34.400 --> 0:45:37.440
<v Speaker 6>You and I were in Chevez Ravine. That's it's my

0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:41.080
<v Speaker 6>favorite ballpark. I mean, it's the third oldest, but they

0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:43.520
<v Speaker 6>keep that place so clean you can eat off the floors.

0:45:43.560 --> 0:45:46.799
<v Speaker 6>It's just unbelievable. But yeah, we were there with the

0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:51.279
<v Speaker 6>manager Davey Johnson, and uh, they won the game out there,

0:45:51.360 --> 0:45:54.839
<v Speaker 6>and but disaster in Atlanta and that's the last time

0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:57.000
<v Speaker 6>that they have won a postseason series.

0:45:57.280 --> 0:46:02.520
<v Speaker 1>It really is incredible. And hol just a career. And

0:46:02.840 --> 0:46:07.279
<v Speaker 1>you recently had a birthday? And is it eighty three

0:46:07.360 --> 0:46:11.000
<v Speaker 1>or eighty five? Eighty five? Eighty five?

0:46:11.200 --> 0:46:11.399
<v Speaker 4>Wow?

0:46:11.480 --> 0:46:13.440
<v Speaker 6>Eighty five eighty five and counting?

0:46:13.560 --> 0:46:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And what keeps you going?

0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:15.200
<v Speaker 8>How?

0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:20.520
<v Speaker 6>Just life itself? I try to write every day. I

0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:23.759
<v Speaker 6>love to write. If I couldn't write, I don't know

0:46:23.800 --> 0:46:26.480
<v Speaker 6>what I would do. I would be flipping burgers or something.

0:46:26.560 --> 0:46:29.960
<v Speaker 6>But that's been my life. And as long as I

0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:33.480
<v Speaker 6>can sit down, it's the it's the computer, the laptop

0:46:33.560 --> 0:46:36.480
<v Speaker 6>and buzz out a few words. I'm happy. I try

0:46:36.520 --> 0:46:38.919
<v Speaker 6>to do it every day and that keeps me going.

0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:42.680
<v Speaker 6>Eighty five but I don't feel like you're over eighty four.

0:46:44.000 --> 0:46:48.120
<v Speaker 1>That's just wonderful, how and I absolutely mean it. It

0:46:48.160 --> 0:46:52.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't take long to call roll for for the baseball

<v Speaker 1>for the University of Cincinnati against the U tall Utes

0:48:21.280 --> 0:48:28.839
<v Speaker 1>tonight in a monster Big Twelve game, as the UC

0:48:29.000 --> 0:48:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Bearcats attempt to push their record to eight and one

0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:37.200

0:48:49.719 --> 0:48:52.840
<v Speaker 1>ranked thirteenth in the nation. Give them the old Heisman

<v Speaker 1>Troop Trophy stiff arm. But there's BYU there too, and

0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:01.520
<v Speaker 1>you see host BYU later this season. The tenth rank

0:49:01.520 --> 0:49:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Cougar's man it the Big Twelve is shaping up to

0:49:04.719 --> 0:49:09.040
<v Speaker 1>be an awesome for an awesome finish this year. But

0:49:09.120 --> 0:49:12.359
<v Speaker 1>we mentioned the Reds and appreciate how McCoy joining us,

0:49:13.440 --> 0:49:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and I mentioned the free agents Miguel Andrew harr Pitchers,

0:49:19.560 --> 0:49:26.319
<v Speaker 1>Zach Lttel, Nick Martinez, Emilio Pagan, Wade Miley. And then

0:49:26.400 --> 0:49:35.040
<v Speaker 1>you've got players with options Austin Hayes twelve million dollar

0:49:35.120 --> 0:49:41.480
<v Speaker 1>option but a one million dollar buyout Brent Souter, left

0:49:41.480 --> 0:49:47.280
<v Speaker 1>handed pitcher we love him, Cincinnati guy a three million

0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:51.080
<v Speaker 1>dollar club option a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars buyout,

0:49:51.960 --> 0:49:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and then right handed pitcher Scott Barlow with a club

0:49:56.560 --> 0:50:00.640
<v Speaker 1>option for six point five million dollars or a one

0:50:00.680 --> 0:50:09.000
<v Speaker 1>million dollar buyout, all with contract options. And then there's

0:50:09.000 --> 0:50:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the folks who are eligible for arbitration. Right handed pitcher

0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Graham Ashcraft, outfielder Will Benson, infielder outfielder Santiago espinall who

0:50:21.800 --> 0:50:28.320
<v Speaker 1>got outrighted to Louisville. Outfielder TJ. Friedel, left handed pitcher

0:50:28.840 --> 0:50:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Nick Lidolo, infielder outfielder Gavin Lux, second baseman Matt McClain,

0:50:37.520 --> 0:50:48.120
<v Speaker 1>lefty Sam Mall writing, Tony Santition writing, Brady Singer, Spencer Steer,

0:50:48.840 --> 0:50:59.799
<v Speaker 1>and catcher Tyler Stevenson. So wow uh A lot going

0:50:59.840 --> 0:51:03.799
<v Speaker 1>on with the Reds, and Nick Krawl says, We've got

0:51:03.840 --> 0:51:08.640
<v Speaker 1>to improve both aspects of our position players. I think

0:51:08.680 --> 0:51:13.759
<v Speaker 1>we need to improve across the board. Offensively, we had

0:51:13.760 --> 0:51:16.920
<v Speaker 1>guys that had down years. Some of it's going to

0:51:16.960 --> 0:51:20.560
<v Speaker 1>be internal, some of it might be bringing somebody in

0:51:20.600 --> 0:51:25.520
<v Speaker 1>from the outside. We did a good job with defensive efficiency,

0:51:26.160 --> 0:51:30.080
<v Speaker 1>but our defensive range and everything could be better across

0:51:30.280 --> 0:51:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the board. And with closer Emelio Pegan and the swingman there,

0:51:39.760 --> 0:51:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Nick Martinez being free agents, replacing them in the bullpen

0:51:44.120 --> 0:51:49.399
<v Speaker 1>has got to be a priority. And then who might

0:51:49.440 --> 0:51:55.799
<v Speaker 1>the Reds be willing to trade? Like Hal mentioned, the

0:51:55.840 --> 0:51:59.880
<v Speaker 1>big chip is Hunter Green. He has three years and

0:52:00.080 --> 0:52:02.920
<v Speaker 1>about forty two million left on a six year contract

0:52:03.000 --> 0:52:10.160
<v Speaker 1>through twenty twenty eight, with a club option for twenty nine.

0:52:10.400 --> 0:52:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Green could net the best return for the Cincinnati Reds

0:52:15.320 --> 0:52:21.400
<v Speaker 1>to fill its needs elsewhere? Is it okay if I dream,

0:52:21.560 --> 0:52:29.080
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit, dream of Kyle Schwarber in a

0:52:29.120 --> 0:52:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati Reds uniform. Middletown High School, Indiana University, played for

0:52:42.040 --> 0:52:48.319
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago Cubs, Washington Nationals, the Red Sox, and now

0:52:48.360 --> 0:52:53.520
<v Speaker 1>at the Phillies. His four year, seventy nine million dollar

0:52:53.680 --> 0:52:58.520
<v Speaker 1>contract runs out, he becomes a free agent. The Reds

0:52:58.560 --> 0:53:00.759
<v Speaker 1>could use that twenty one million that they paid Nick

0:53:00.800 --> 0:53:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Martinez last year for some starting money in an attempt

0:53:06.360 --> 0:53:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to get Kyle Schwarber here. With his signing set this

0:53:12.080 --> 0:53:19.120
<v Speaker 1>franchise in this city on its ear with excitement. I think,

0:53:19.160 --> 0:53:22.080
<v Speaker 1>so we've reached the bottom of the hour break when

0:53:22.120 --> 0:53:30.239

0:55:36.960 --> 0:55:41.839
<v Speaker 3>But essentially it's about my journey from being a diehard

0:55:41.840 --> 0:55:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Big Red Machine fan to finally meeting my heroes and

0:55:46.600 --> 0:55:48.560
<v Speaker 3>chick I know you've gone through the same thing being

0:55:48.600 --> 0:55:51.680
<v Speaker 3>an Ohio guy. Is that you know a lot of

0:55:51.680 --> 0:55:55.040
<v Speaker 3>times it doesn't measure up to what you expected.

0:55:55.800 --> 0:55:57.120
<v Speaker 4>For me, for the most.

0:55:56.880 --> 0:56:00.279
<v Speaker 3>Part, it did, and it all began and ended with

0:56:00.360 --> 0:56:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Pete Rose, a long time favorite player. The one thing

0:56:03.120 --> 0:56:05.319
<v Speaker 3>I will say this real quick too, is I grew

0:56:05.360 --> 0:56:09.239
<v Speaker 3>up in South in Indiana as a young guy. You know,

0:56:09.440 --> 0:56:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Pump and the University of Notre Dame, and my dad

0:56:12.040 --> 0:56:15.239
<v Speaker 3>was an AT ANDT supervisor who got transferred to Cincinnati

0:56:15.800 --> 0:56:19.759
<v Speaker 3>in sixty eight. And I bring that up because there's

0:56:19.760 --> 0:56:22.600
<v Speaker 3>no such thing as coincidence. In my world. Everything is spiritual.

0:56:23.000 --> 0:56:26.200
<v Speaker 3>The next year of sixty nine, that was the first

0:56:26.200 --> 0:56:29.040
<v Speaker 3>official year of the Big Reversine, So Chick, I always

0:56:29.040 --> 0:56:33.120
<v Speaker 3>tell people the Big Reversine started because my family came

0:56:33.160 --> 0:56:35.000
<v Speaker 3>here from Indiana. I think where it was.

0:56:35.400 --> 0:56:38.360
<v Speaker 1>That is fantastic and gosh, one of the highlights of

0:56:38.400 --> 0:56:43.800
<v Speaker 1>my career. Four months to the day prior to Pete

0:56:43.880 --> 0:56:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Rose's death, I'm invited back to Western Hills Country Club

0:56:48.400 --> 0:56:51.799
<v Speaker 1>is the MC of their stag honoring Pete, and I

0:56:51.840 --> 0:56:54.120
<v Speaker 1>got to introduce him, and then we sat on a

0:56:54.200 --> 0:56:58.360
<v Speaker 1>stage together and I guided him through a fifty four

0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:05.279
<v Speaker 1>photolide show of his life. And what an evening. What

0:57:05.360 --> 0:57:07.319
<v Speaker 1>an evening with Pete?

0:57:07.600 --> 0:57:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know you and I saw a different side

0:57:09.520 --> 0:57:11.919
<v Speaker 3>of Pete. I have got nothing bad to say about

0:57:11.920 --> 0:57:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Pete Rose. He was so good to me. As a

0:57:14.520 --> 0:57:17.120
<v Speaker 3>matter of fact, Just to tell you how these things

0:57:17.200 --> 0:57:20.640
<v Speaker 3>work as far as spiritually as I look at it.

0:57:21.040 --> 0:57:24.760
<v Speaker 3>I graduated from Miami University in May of nineteen seventy eight.

0:57:24.920 --> 0:57:27.000
<v Speaker 3>A week later, I'm working full time at since An

0:57:27.120 --> 0:57:30.760
<v Speaker 3>Enquirer And the very first interview I ever did in

0:57:30.800 --> 0:57:34.120
<v Speaker 3>my entire life as a professional sports journalist that now

0:57:34.160 --> 0:57:38.320
<v Speaker 3>has spanned to almost fifty years was with Pete Rose,

0:57:38.880 --> 0:57:41.240
<v Speaker 3>the all time favorite player. As a matter of fact,

0:57:41.720 --> 0:57:45.720
<v Speaker 3>a feo months after that interview, one of the photographers

0:57:45.880 --> 0:57:48.640
<v Speaker 3>at the Inquirer dropped the Manila ovelope on my desk

0:57:48.760 --> 0:57:51.200
<v Speaker 3>and guess what it was. It was a picture of

0:57:51.280 --> 0:57:54.400

<v Speaker 1>Out there, Terrence. One thing that a lot of folks

1:00:17.400 --> 1:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know about you. You launched the career of Stephen A. Smith.

1:00:23.800 --> 1:00:24.720

1:00:25.720 --> 1:00:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't think I launched it, but I was.

<v Speaker 3>got to start a lot of people would say Winston Salem,

1:00:33.360 --> 1:00:37.200
<v Speaker 3>some would say Philadelphia inquire Actually he got to start

1:00:37.240 --> 1:00:40.840
<v Speaker 3>as an intern at the Cincinnati Inquirer. Not since I

1:00:41.000 --> 1:00:45.000
<v Speaker 3>inquired I was people it was at the Atlanta General Constitution.

1:00:45.440 --> 1:00:48.120
<v Speaker 3>I left that out because after leaving the Assistant Inquirer

1:00:48.200 --> 1:00:50.960
<v Speaker 3>for three years, I worked at the San Francisco Examiner

1:00:51.000 --> 1:00:53.600
<v Speaker 3>for five and then spent twenty five years at the

1:00:53.680 --> 1:00:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Landa General Constitution and one of the biggest bills I had,

1:00:57.120 --> 1:01:00.600
<v Speaker 3>they often put me in charge of at least to

1:01:00.640 --> 1:01:03.520
<v Speaker 3>help out with interns. And one was a guy by

1:01:03.520 --> 1:01:06.640
<v Speaker 3>the name of Steve Smith. And believe it or not, Chick,

1:01:06.800 --> 1:01:09.120
<v Speaker 3>that's his real name, Steve Smith.

1:01:09.280 --> 1:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's wild. It's just incredible and one of the

1:01:13.720 --> 1:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>one of the great afternoons I got to spend in Oxford, Ohio,

1:01:18.400 --> 1:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>in the home and the basement of Wilbur Charles U

1:01:24.160 --> 1:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Bank we Weave you Bank. And that was just just

1:01:28.840 --> 1:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>awesome because he was getting honored, gosh, in New York

1:01:32.920 --> 1:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>City with an award. My boss, Ralph Morrow, sent me there.

1:01:36.440 --> 1:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I spent an afternoon with him. And oh, he's got

1:01:40.600 --> 1:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Peley's jersey encased in glass up on his wall, and

1:01:45.560 --> 1:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, he opens up a file cabinet, pulls out uh,

1:01:48.520 --> 1:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bill's game plan nineteen sixty one. Oh my gosh,

1:01:52.920 --> 1:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>just uh. And he's got a pointer like like a

1:01:55.560 --> 1:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, the nuns head with the rubber tip on

1:01:57.720 --> 1:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the end, and he's going over all the members. He's

1:02:00.640 --> 1:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>got all the members of the Pro Football Hall of

1:02:02.600 --> 1:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Fame up on like an outside wall in his basement,

1:02:07.000 --> 1:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he's pointing at each one saying, oh,

1:02:09.880 --> 1:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>he had great feet, great hands, and and then he

1:02:13.200 --> 1:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>had a projector. He had a projector on like an

1:02:17.360 --> 1:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>ottoman and he had the you know, the screen pulled

1:02:20.760 --> 1:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>down so that he could watch old film just weep.

1:02:24.960 --> 1:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>He was unbelievable.

1:02:26.760 --> 1:02:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, as you know, chick, what another member of the

1:02:30.480 --> 1:02:33.479
<v Speaker 3>creditle we view Bank the winningest coach of the West.

1:02:33.480 --> 1:02:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Could consider it the greatest game ever played between the

1:02:36.480 --> 1:02:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Giants and the coach Beck in the nineteen fifties, and

1:02:39.000 --> 1:02:40.880
<v Speaker 3>of course the biggest upset in the history of the

1:02:40.880 --> 1:02:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Super Bowl. Super Bowl three. We viewed Bank from Mount Ohio.

1:02:44.040 --> 1:02:46.439
<v Speaker 3>But it goes further than that. And like you just said,

1:02:46.560 --> 1:02:49.520
<v Speaker 3>those old guys, those old cradle guys had a tendency

1:02:49.880 --> 1:02:52.120
<v Speaker 3>to come back to Oxford, Ohio one way or the other.

1:02:52.320 --> 1:02:54.840
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you this quick Paul Brown story. Paul Brown.

1:02:55.320 --> 1:02:58.160
<v Speaker 3>Of course everybody knows who's who Paul Brown is. But

1:02:58.480 --> 1:03:01.680
<v Speaker 3>when I worked assistant inquire Brown's autobiography came out in

1:03:01.760 --> 1:03:04.880
<v Speaker 3>nineteen seventy nine, they're playing the Browns, who he hated

1:03:04.920 --> 1:03:07.360
<v Speaker 3>at that point because of the way he left the

1:03:07.400 --> 1:03:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Browns back in the sixties. And the columnist for US

1:03:11.280 --> 1:03:14.320
<v Speaker 3>back then named Mark Purty wrote this column and as

1:03:14.400 --> 1:03:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Lee said that Paul Brown watched this game They're playing

1:03:18.320 --> 1:03:21.120
<v Speaker 3>the Browns in Cleveland. When his book came out. He said,

1:03:21.120 --> 1:03:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Paul Brown watched the game with misty eyes. Paul Brown

1:03:24.320 --> 1:03:28.240
<v Speaker 3>calls assistant inquirer and gets Mark on the phone and says,

1:03:28.320 --> 1:03:30.760
<v Speaker 3>I have never had missy eyes in my life. Now

1:03:30.760 --> 1:03:33.720
<v Speaker 3>here's why I'm telling you the story. Okay, okay. So

1:03:33.760 --> 1:03:37.680
<v Speaker 3>it's years later, nineteen eighty three eighty four. Somewhere in there,

1:03:37.960 --> 1:03:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Miami is playing the last game ever at Miami Field,

1:03:41.480 --> 1:03:44.760
<v Speaker 3>which was the second oldest color football stadium in the

1:03:44.760 --> 1:03:48.200
<v Speaker 3>country at the time. Last game they beat Central Michigan

1:03:48.280 --> 1:03:50.360
<v Speaker 3>twenty three to nothing. Perfect day if you were a

1:03:50.440 --> 1:03:53.160
<v Speaker 3>rich Red Hawk fans. So it's after the game and

1:03:53.160 --> 1:03:54.720
<v Speaker 3>I walked back to the stadium and I see these

1:03:54.720 --> 1:03:57.840
<v Speaker 3>two figures in the distance and is Paul Brown and

1:03:57.880 --> 1:04:00.960
<v Speaker 3>his wife Mary. And I kind of go around behind

1:04:01.000 --> 1:04:04.080
<v Speaker 3>him and I approached Paul Brown and Paul Brown is

1:04:04.080 --> 1:04:07.160
<v Speaker 3>standing there with tears coming down his face. Can you

1:04:07.200 --> 1:04:10.840
<v Speaker 3>imagine that Paul Brown and tears? And I said, I said, Paul,

1:04:10.920 --> 1:04:13.280
<v Speaker 3>I must have been an emotional time for you watching

1:04:13.280 --> 1:04:15.520
<v Speaker 3>this last game at Mine Skills, and he and his

1:04:15.640 --> 1:04:18.120
<v Speaker 3>wife quickly got a tissue and he's wiping it and

1:04:18.120 --> 1:04:20.320
<v Speaker 3>he said, oh, no, no, it was just just another game,

1:04:20.440 --> 1:04:23.200
<v Speaker 3>just another game. And then Mary says, oh he was

1:04:23.200 --> 1:04:26.680
<v Speaker 3>crying that tire. Yes, and and I merely thought back

1:04:26.720 --> 1:04:30.080
<v Speaker 3>to what he told Mark party. Uh and irity, I've

1:04:30.120 --> 1:04:31.960
<v Speaker 3>never been this cid in my life.

1:04:32.040 --> 1:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that is fantastic. Now I do some umpiring for

1:04:36.400 --> 1:04:39.360
<v Speaker 1>girls fast pitch softball and some baseball, and a guy

1:04:39.400 --> 1:04:42.240
<v Speaker 1>comes up to me a year or so ago at

1:04:42.280 --> 1:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>a backstop and said, Hey, are you the guy that

1:04:45.960 --> 1:04:50.160
<v Speaker 1>coined the phrase the world's largest living room for Mallette Hall?

1:04:50.560 --> 1:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>And I said, yeah, that's me. I will be in

1:04:53.720 --> 1:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>tears when Mallette Hall comes down. I love the place.

1:04:58.520 --> 1:05:02.360
<v Speaker 3>Well it's coming down, and uh, pretty similar for people

1:05:02.360 --> 1:05:05.200
<v Speaker 3>who may not know. They're building a new arena right

1:05:05.200 --> 1:05:08.600
<v Speaker 3>down Cookfield and wide open spaces and also a hotel

1:05:08.640 --> 1:05:11.640
<v Speaker 3>there and check. You know. This doesn't have anything to

1:05:11.680 --> 1:05:14.120
<v Speaker 3>do with with Malett, but has to do with Miami Sports.

1:05:14.280 --> 1:05:16.160
<v Speaker 3>When I was in Cincinnati this week, I had a

1:05:16.360 --> 1:05:20.880
<v Speaker 3>fabulous time with Tug Martin, our great football coach, and

1:05:21.160 --> 1:05:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Tug Martin this guy. I would contend that he has

1:05:24.880 --> 1:05:27.840
<v Speaker 3>done the greatest job of any coach in America this year.

1:05:28.040 --> 1:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Consider this, Miami will Little Mina, Ohio is a Mid

1:05:31.080 --> 1:05:34.800
<v Speaker 3>American conference school. Okay, we're in the europe NIL and

1:05:34.880 --> 1:05:38.720
<v Speaker 3>also transfer portal. And every year they got to reload,

1:05:38.760 --> 1:05:41.560
<v Speaker 3>they lose these players to the bigger schools. And every

1:05:41.720 --> 1:05:45.840
<v Speaker 3>year he has got Miami contending for the MAC championship.

1:05:45.920 --> 1:05:48.480
<v Speaker 3>Is not winning it. Right now, they're undefeated in the MAC.

1:05:48.600 --> 1:05:52.280
<v Speaker 3>They won five straight with a totally new offense. And

1:05:52.680 --> 1:05:55.120
<v Speaker 3>this guy gets not as much credit as he should get.

1:05:56.920 --> 1:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>You're exactly right, Terrence and Wild I've got you your

1:05:59.520 --> 1:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Terrence more were Gosh, former sports columnist at the Atlanta

1:06:03.640 --> 1:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Journal Constitution, where he spent twenty five years. Incredible, the

1:06:08.360 --> 1:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>real Hank Aaron. Yeah, you know, I was born in

1:06:13.040 --> 1:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>nineteen fifty four. I got to see Roberto Clemente play

1:06:17.440 --> 1:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>at Crosley Field. I fell in love with him number

1:06:21.520 --> 1:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. But that that National League, man, how tough

1:06:27.040 --> 1:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>was it to make to make that a starting lineup?

1:06:30.240 --> 1:06:33.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, with Frank Robinson and Willie Mays and Henry

1:06:33.280 --> 1:06:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Aaron and Roberto Clemente. Just just a phenomenal, But your

1:06:37.880 --> 1:06:44.440
<v Speaker 1>relationship to the great great Henry Aaron, it was unbelievable.

1:06:44.480 --> 1:06:49.440
<v Speaker 3>I I was closer to Hank than any other reporter ever.

1:06:50.040 --> 1:06:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Was a four year relationship, and it was because he

1:06:53.600 --> 1:06:57.080
<v Speaker 3>trusted me so much. And I was like to tell

1:06:57.160 --> 1:06:59.880
<v Speaker 3>this first story when we first met, and I'll give

1:06:59.880 --> 1:07:01.720
<v Speaker 3>you the sword version of this. I was working at

1:07:01.720 --> 1:07:04.120
<v Speaker 3>the Sampston stood Examiner. I was writing this story in

1:07:04.200 --> 1:07:07.320
<v Speaker 3>nineteen eighty two on Blacks and Baseball, and I talked

1:07:07.320 --> 1:07:09.720
<v Speaker 3>about an awful lot and Hank Aaron book and also

1:07:10.120 --> 1:07:14.040
<v Speaker 3>in the latest book, My Big Red Machine, and both

1:07:14.080 --> 1:07:16.400
<v Speaker 3>Hank Aaron and Joe Morgan, who I was also very

1:07:16.400 --> 1:07:19.160
<v Speaker 3>close to, they were convinced back in eighty two that

1:07:19.240 --> 1:07:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Major League Baseball was purposely fasing out African American players. Again, chick,

1:07:24.280 --> 1:07:26.120
<v Speaker 3>this is in eighty two. They both told me in

1:07:26.240 --> 1:07:29.520
<v Speaker 3>nineteen eighty two that after the turn of the century

1:07:29.920 --> 1:07:32.120
<v Speaker 3>that the number of the percentage of African Americans in

1:07:32.200 --> 1:07:36.000
<v Speaker 3>baseball would be less than ten percent on purpose. And

1:07:36.040 --> 1:07:38.440
<v Speaker 3>guess what, it's less than ten percent. But people want

1:07:38.480 --> 1:07:40.240
<v Speaker 3>to read more about I've got it in the books,

1:07:40.680 --> 1:07:43.000
<v Speaker 3>both of those books. But here's why I'm bringing this up.

1:07:43.560 --> 1:07:45.800
<v Speaker 3>When I first met Hank Aaron, he was the only

1:07:45.840 --> 1:07:49.280
<v Speaker 3>African American executive in baseball at the time in nineteen

1:07:49.280 --> 1:07:52.040
<v Speaker 3>eighty two, caught him up did in an interview with him.

1:07:52.080 --> 1:07:52.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm scared to death.

1:07:52.920 --> 1:07:53.080
<v Speaker 4>You know.

1:07:53.160 --> 1:07:54.720
<v Speaker 3>We hit it off off the bat. I'm talking to

1:07:54.840 --> 1:07:57.400
<v Speaker 3>him on the phone. I'm working at the San Franisco

1:07:57.480 --> 1:08:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Examiner at the time, and so, uh, when I finished

1:08:00.960 --> 1:08:05.600
<v Speaker 3>the interview, and I'm listening to my tape recording, and Hank,

1:08:05.880 --> 1:08:08.720
<v Speaker 3>being from the South, sometimes you have sendency to say

1:08:08.760 --> 1:08:12.040
<v Speaker 3>some things. I mean, just for a phrases that might

1:08:12.080 --> 1:08:14.120
<v Speaker 3>be a little bit off that if you if you didn't,

1:08:14.600 --> 1:08:17.120
<v Speaker 3>I didn't quite understand him. I mean, you can misinterpret

1:08:17.200 --> 1:08:19.960
<v Speaker 3>what he's what's trying to say. So I called called

1:08:20.000 --> 1:08:22.599
<v Speaker 3>me back and I said, Hank, you said blah blah

1:08:22.600 --> 1:08:24.960
<v Speaker 3>blah blah blah blah. I said, did you mean it

1:08:25.200 --> 1:08:27.400
<v Speaker 3>this way or can you tell me exactly what you

1:08:27.479 --> 1:08:30.280
<v Speaker 3>what you meant? He said, oh, thanks, thanks, thanks for

1:08:30.320 --> 1:08:31.800
<v Speaker 3>calling me back. And I remember now this is this

1:08:31.840 --> 1:08:32.919
<v Speaker 3>is when we first met.

1:08:33.160 --> 1:08:34.040
<v Speaker 4>And then after we.

1:08:34.120 --> 1:08:37.040
<v Speaker 3>Finished with that, he said, you know what he said,

1:08:37.040 --> 1:08:40.479
<v Speaker 3>In all my years, I have never had a reporter

1:08:40.640 --> 1:08:44.439
<v Speaker 3>do this. He said, I really appreciate this, and that's

1:08:44.439 --> 1:08:46.160
<v Speaker 3>how we hit it off and check. I know you

1:08:46.160 --> 1:08:48.120
<v Speaker 3>can relate to that because a lot of times we

1:08:48.240 --> 1:08:50.840
<v Speaker 3>have reporters, you know, they'll just run with stuff and

1:08:50.880 --> 1:08:53.040
<v Speaker 3>they know that, man, it might be a little bit

1:08:53.120 --> 1:08:56.000
<v Speaker 3>out of context, as opposed to taking that time to

1:08:56.120 --> 1:08:59.720
<v Speaker 3>go back to the individual and just say that is

1:08:59.760 --> 1:09:02.439
<v Speaker 3>this what you meant to say? Or I just need

1:09:02.439 --> 1:09:03.120
<v Speaker 3>a clarification.

1:09:03.560 --> 1:09:08.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, that such great, really great stuff, great advice,

1:09:09.160 --> 1:09:12.200
<v Speaker 1>and I know that you're a gosh a mentor to

1:09:12.479 --> 1:09:16.800
<v Speaker 1>so many young journalists at Miami and elsewhere. Terrence Moore,

1:09:17.280 --> 1:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and just want to relate one quick story with you.

1:09:21.560 --> 1:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>At the Dayton Daily News, I was shipped to Central

1:09:24.320 --> 1:09:30.240
<v Speaker 1>State to interview Don King. Okay, he was getting an

1:09:30.280 --> 1:09:35.080
<v Speaker 1>honorary degree, and I asked, m Don, what's your message

1:09:35.120 --> 1:09:39.360
<v Speaker 1>to the marauders today, all the students here? And he said,

1:09:40.000 --> 1:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>kick the door down. In other words, when you go

1:09:43.960 --> 1:09:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to an interview, you are so prepared that they can't

1:09:48.080 --> 1:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>turn you down. You're gonna, you know, kick that door down.

1:09:52.240 --> 1:09:56.160
<v Speaker 1>And I'll never forget that from Don King.

1:09:57.680 --> 1:10:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'll give you my piece of advice. I tell

1:10:00.800 --> 1:10:03.000
<v Speaker 3>my students all the time. And as you say, I

1:10:03.040 --> 1:10:06.200
<v Speaker 3>was a visiting professor at Miami for seven years, and

1:10:06.280 --> 1:10:08.479
<v Speaker 3>once I started writing books, I need to be closer

1:10:08.479 --> 1:10:10.920
<v Speaker 3>to here. So now I've been a visiting professor here

1:10:10.960 --> 1:10:13.519
<v Speaker 3>at Georgia State now for the last two or three years.

1:10:14.120 --> 1:10:16.400
<v Speaker 3>One of the things I like to tell my students

1:10:16.800 --> 1:10:19.920
<v Speaker 3>I give him the sports analogy of Vince Lombardi. And

1:10:20.000 --> 1:10:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Vince Lombardi used to say run to daylight. And I

1:10:23.040 --> 1:10:25.439
<v Speaker 3>would say that he didn't tell his running backs to

1:10:25.520 --> 1:10:29.760
<v Speaker 3>trot the daylight or to walk to the light. Run

1:10:29.760 --> 1:10:33.080
<v Speaker 3>the daylight. And I say that this to say that

1:10:33.120 --> 1:10:36.719
<v Speaker 3>when you see an opening for anything in your life

1:10:37.160 --> 1:10:42.080
<v Speaker 3>that might be something that can help you, don't not

1:10:42.400 --> 1:10:44.880
<v Speaker 3>well take advantage of it, to sprint through that thing

1:10:45.000 --> 1:10:48.280
<v Speaker 3>like crazy and see what happens, because if you don't sprint,

1:10:48.600 --> 1:10:51.040
<v Speaker 3>you get knocked down, and you get tackled, you get sacked.

1:10:50.840 --> 1:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>And it can be very very ugly. This has been

1:10:53.720 --> 1:10:56.639
<v Speaker 1>an absolute joy, Terrence Moore, and I want to thank

1:10:57.000 --> 1:11:00.200
<v Speaker 1>you and thank your brother Dennis. Maybe he can be

1:11:00.320 --> 1:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>my pr guy.

1:11:02.200 --> 1:11:02.360
<v Speaker 6>Oh.

1:11:02.439 --> 1:11:04.160
<v Speaker 3>I want to tell you, hey, I was getting in

1:11:04.320 --> 1:11:07.320
<v Speaker 3>with that chick my brother dinners down in Mount Healthy

1:11:08.120 --> 1:11:10.439
<v Speaker 3>or up in Mount Healthy, depending on where your listeners are.

1:11:10.600 --> 1:11:13.480
<v Speaker 3>He's listening right now. He listens to you every Saturday.

1:11:13.720 --> 1:11:15.080
<v Speaker 3>And when I told him that I was going to

1:11:15.120 --> 1:11:18.880
<v Speaker 3>be on with the Great Tickster, you got a big smiles, says,

1:11:18.880 --> 1:11:19.920

1:11:20.000 --> 1:11:21.559

1:15:58.120 --> 1:16:01.720
<v Speaker 1>give another shout out here to Miami, the University and

1:16:01.760 --> 1:16:06.600
<v Speaker 1>the Men of Steel head coach Travis Steel. In a

1:16:06.680 --> 1:16:12.639
<v Speaker 1>day and age when transfers the transfer portal Nil, It's

1:16:12.640 --> 1:16:16.439
<v Speaker 1>absolutely crazy with all the new players. Miami returns ten

1:16:16.560 --> 1:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>players from last year's squad, and Travis Steel, in his

1:16:21.080 --> 1:16:25.439
<v Speaker 1>fourth year, is the head men's basketball coach coming off

1:16:25.920 --> 1:16:34.040
<v Speaker 1>the most wins in school history. He begins his fourth

1:16:34.080 --> 1:16:37.360
<v Speaker 1>year at the helm of the program after finishing his

1:16:37.439 --> 1:16:41.400
<v Speaker 1>third season with a twenty five and nine record, fourteen

1:16:41.479 --> 1:16:48.759
<v Speaker 1>and four in the Mid American Conference. So ten players return,

1:16:50.120 --> 1:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>but I want to circle back here with the Cincinnati

1:16:53.840 --> 1:17:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Bengals and so many fans up in arms over this team.

1:17:02.040 --> 1:17:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Start at three and five, Upset with head coach Zach Taylor,

1:17:09.760 --> 1:17:12.920
<v Speaker 1>upset with the meltdown against the New York Jets in

1:17:13.000 --> 1:17:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a thirty nine to thirty eight loss last Sunday on

1:17:16.880 --> 1:17:22.599
<v Speaker 1>a Ring of Honor Day. Then I come across a

1:17:22.960 --> 1:17:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Facebook post by the great Jim McNally, offensive line coach

1:17:36.000 --> 1:17:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the extraordinary Back In June, he was honored at the

1:17:40.640 --> 1:17:44.479
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Hall of Fame, one of fifteen recipients of

1:17:46.240 --> 1:17:50.639
<v Speaker 1>these awards for excellence given out by the Pro Football

1:17:50.640 --> 1:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame for his great work as the Bengals

1:17:56.280 --> 1:18:00.400
<v Speaker 1>offensive line coach. And I want to read you his

1:18:00.600 --> 1:18:06.360
<v Speaker 1>post on Facebook and and he wrote this for Cincinnati

1:18:06.360 --> 1:18:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Bengal followers. I worked for them, and this is Jim

1:18:10.960 --> 1:18:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Mouse McNally. I worked for them fifteen years full time,

1:18:16.040 --> 1:18:20.160
<v Speaker 1>in ten years part time. That's twenty five years. The

1:18:20.200 --> 1:18:24.360
<v Speaker 1>fans are getting on edge. The present team is built

1:18:24.400 --> 1:18:31.160
<v Speaker 1>on perhaps the best one to two quarterback playing Joe Burrow,

1:18:32.240 --> 1:18:34.920
<v Speaker 1>with Jamar Chase, who is the best receiver hands down

1:18:34.960 --> 1:18:39.920
<v Speaker 1>in the league, and t Higgins another great receiver. They

1:18:39.960 --> 1:18:43.000
<v Speaker 1>have a new great offensive line coach in Scott Peters.

1:18:44.240 --> 1:18:48.640
<v Speaker 1>After Joe got hurt, their identity fell into no man's land.

1:18:49.439 --> 1:18:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Then here comes Joe Flacco. It had taken Scott a

1:18:53.680 --> 1:18:56.960
<v Speaker 1>full spring and fall to toughen up the offensive line

1:18:57.160 --> 1:19:00.439
<v Speaker 1>since he has two rookies at guard, and he had

1:19:00.479 --> 1:19:05.720
<v Speaker 1>to change their mentality, especially on the run game. The

1:19:05.800 --> 1:19:07.800
<v Speaker 1>last few weeks they have run for one hundred and

1:19:07.840 --> 1:19:11.840
<v Speaker 1>forty and one hundred and seventy yards and beat the Steelers,

1:19:11.920 --> 1:19:16.519
<v Speaker 1>who lead the division. And Jim says, quit bashing the

1:19:16.640 --> 1:19:21.519
<v Speaker 1>ownership and personnel department. Is no one else has a Burrow,

1:19:21.840 --> 1:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Chase and Higgins. They cost and he's got three dollars

1:19:26.360 --> 1:19:31.080
<v Speaker 1>signs that's big money. True, the defense is spotty and

1:19:31.200 --> 1:19:35.080
<v Speaker 1>an issue to date. You can blame coaching, scouting, or

1:19:35.120 --> 1:19:38.600
<v Speaker 1>just playing bad luck. As they fired their former defensive

1:19:38.600 --> 1:19:42.160
<v Speaker 1>coordinator who happens to be Loot and Rumo, who is

1:19:42.240 --> 1:19:45.960
<v Speaker 1>now leading the Colts to an excellent season. How many

1:19:46.000 --> 1:19:49.360
<v Speaker 1>years have the Bills fans bashed their front office and coaches.

1:19:49.840 --> 1:19:53.200
<v Speaker 1>They've done it for years. Now they've got Josh Allen.

1:19:54.040 --> 1:19:57.639
<v Speaker 1>He makes all three phases survive even if the defense

1:19:57.720 --> 1:20:02.280
<v Speaker 1>or special teams has an average or poor game. What

1:20:02.360 --> 1:20:07.120
<v Speaker 1>if Josh got hurt just like Joe b did, would

1:20:07.160 --> 1:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the Bills be as good? You know the answer. Every

1:20:11.280 --> 1:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>team has haters in the stands or on the couch.

1:20:14.840 --> 1:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>All thirty two have issues. Enjoy the games and be

1:20:18.880 --> 1:20:25.640
<v Speaker 1>glad your city has a team. And on one of

1:20:25.680 --> 1:20:31.439
<v Speaker 1>the comments, Jim McNally posts a reply to a fan.

1:20:31.800 --> 1:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>He says, it's all true. Everybody wants to fire everybody

1:20:35.800 --> 1:20:39.719
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. In college, securing the players has become

1:20:39.800 --> 1:20:43.040
<v Speaker 1>ninety percent of the job, not coaching, not scheme. In

1:20:43.080 --> 1:20:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the free agency. In the NFL, and the portal nil

1:20:46.360 --> 1:20:50.559
<v Speaker 1>in College has put the onus on getting the players,

1:20:51.160 --> 1:20:54.040
<v Speaker 1>not how well you coach them, So the word coach

1:20:54.080 --> 1:20:57.120
<v Speaker 1>has little meaning in this day and age. Was Belichick

1:20:57.160 --> 1:20:59.680
<v Speaker 1>a great coach in New England for twenty years? Or

1:20:59.760 --> 1:21:03.720
<v Speaker 1>was it's Tom Brady? I coached for the love of developing,

1:21:04.800 --> 1:21:09.439
<v Speaker 1>refined and update running and pass blocking techniques, But now

1:21:09.479 --> 1:21:12.120
<v Speaker 1>that means little in this day and age. Of securing

1:21:12.200 --> 1:21:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the right players, especially the quarterback, and he put the

1:21:17.800 --> 1:21:26.160
<v Speaker 1>QB in all caps. That is mouse McNally. Your reaction

1:21:27.400 --> 1:21:31.880
<v Speaker 1>when we return. This is Chick Ludwig Sports Talk seven

1:21:31.920 --> 1:21:35.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred WLW and the numbers to call five one, three,

1:21:35.400 --> 1:21:38.439
<v Speaker 1>seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred the big one.

1:21:39.160 --> 1:21:41.479
<v Speaker 1>The chicks are with you till nine to fifteen tonight

1:21:41.720 --> 1:21:48.639
<v Speaker 1>on seven hundred WLW, eight twenty two in the Queen

1:21:48.720 --> 1:21:52.040
<v Speaker 1>City of Cincinnati. Chick Ludwig, seven hundred WLW. This is

1:21:52.080 --> 1:21:56.160
<v Speaker 1>sports talk like Eric Carmen and the Raspberries were going

1:21:56.200 --> 1:21:58.160
<v Speaker 1>all the way to nine to fifteen tonight, and then

1:21:58.240 --> 1:22:02.360
<v Speaker 1>you see football takes over these airwaves with Dan Horde,

1:22:02.360 --> 1:22:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Tony Pike, and Moeger calling all the action from rice

1:22:10.400 --> 1:22:14.080
<v Speaker 1>echos Stadium in Salt Lake City. It's the seventeenth ranked

1:22:14.080 --> 1:22:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Bearcats against the twenty fourth ranked Utah Utes. And what

1:22:19.080 --> 1:22:23.880
<v Speaker 1>a scene it was today College Game Day ESPN Place

1:22:24.000 --> 1:22:27.479
<v Speaker 1>was unbelievable. They had a what's called a ute meter

1:22:28.479 --> 1:22:33.080
<v Speaker 1>and it measured the decipels and man ear splitting sound

1:22:34.280 --> 1:22:39.040
<v Speaker 1>coming from the crowd just jam packed and it was

1:22:39.439 --> 1:22:44.120
<v Speaker 1>just a phenomenal scene. So that crowd is just electric

1:22:44.240 --> 1:22:48.440
<v Speaker 1>waiting on the UC Bearcats tonight. Man, it all started

1:22:48.840 --> 1:22:52.960
<v Speaker 1>at the crack at dawn today. Amazing And at the

1:22:52.960 --> 1:22:55.000
<v Speaker 1>bottom after the bottom of the hour news, we're gonna

1:22:55.000 --> 1:22:59.720
<v Speaker 1>welcome in Scott Springer of the Cincinnati Enquirer and we're

1:22:59.720 --> 1:23:04.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna get his take on UC in Utah. But I

1:23:04.720 --> 1:23:08.639
<v Speaker 1>want to update some college football scores right now. Late

1:23:08.720 --> 1:23:14.920
<v Speaker 1>second quarter, the seventh ranked Old Miss Rebels seventeen to

1:23:14.960 --> 1:23:20.639
<v Speaker 1>seven lead at home over South Carolina. The twenty first

1:23:20.760 --> 1:23:26.480
<v Speaker 1>ranked Michigan Wolverines in the Big House tied with Purdue

1:23:26.520 --> 1:23:34.080
<v Speaker 1>at seven with a minute to go before halftime. NC

1:23:34.360 --> 1:23:40.400
<v Speaker 1>State at home leads number eight Georgia Tech fourteen to ten.

1:23:42.400 --> 1:23:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Just at the start early second quarter, Oklahoma and Tennessee

1:23:49.280 --> 1:23:54.240
<v Speaker 1>tied at seven, midway through the first quarter and Nebraska

1:23:54.280 --> 1:23:58.840
<v Speaker 1>has a seven to three lead on USC early second quarter.

1:24:02.760 --> 1:24:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Just looking here at the conference standings in the Big Twelve,

1:24:11.720 --> 1:24:16.519
<v Speaker 1>BYU and Cincinnati are tied atop the conference at five

1:24:16.560 --> 1:24:19.800
<v Speaker 1>and oh. BYU is eight to no overall, and the

1:24:19.800 --> 1:24:22.519
<v Speaker 1>Bearcats are seven and one, riding that seven game winning

1:24:22.560 --> 1:24:28.160
<v Speaker 1>streak after the opening game loss to Nebraska at Arrowhead

1:24:28.200 --> 1:24:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Stadium in Kansas City, a half game behind the tenth

1:24:35.120 --> 1:24:40.960
<v Speaker 1>ranked Cougars and the seventeenth ranked Bearcats number thirteen Texas

1:24:41.000 --> 1:24:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Tech winner. Today they are five and one in the

1:24:46.280 --> 1:24:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Big Twelve, eight and one overall. In the Houston Cougars

1:24:50.960 --> 1:24:54.879
<v Speaker 1>number twenty two, they're going to fall after a loss today.

1:24:55.160 --> 1:24:58.480
<v Speaker 1>They're seven and two overall, four and two in the conference,

1:24:59.160 --> 1:25:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and Arizona's eight is four and two. And then you've

1:25:02.160 --> 1:25:07.599
<v Speaker 1>got the TCU Horned Frogs the Utah Utes, both three

1:25:07.600 --> 1:25:11.719
<v Speaker 1>and two in the conference. Utah six and two overall

1:25:11.880 --> 1:25:17.920
<v Speaker 1>but ranked twenty fourth in the nation. So looking forward

1:25:17.920 --> 1:25:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to tonight and we've got the Game seven of the

1:25:21.000 --> 1:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>World Series has started. Show Hey Otani is on the

1:25:25.040 --> 1:25:31.160
<v Speaker 1>mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers. There's one out Vladimir

1:25:31.240 --> 1:25:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Guerrero is up to the plate. George Springer had a

1:25:35.240 --> 1:25:39.200
<v Speaker 1>leadoff single. So we're in the bottom of the first

1:25:39.240 --> 1:25:47.120
<v Speaker 1>no score at the Rogers Center in Toronto. And just

1:25:47.160 --> 1:25:50.559
<v Speaker 1>looking ahead here at UC schedule as we get ready

1:25:50.600 --> 1:25:53.599
<v Speaker 1>for tonight's game. And by the way, on College Game

1:25:53.720 --> 1:25:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Day there they're analysts who you know, with the old

1:26:00.320 --> 1:26:03.479
<v Speaker 1>under and the betting line and all that good stuff.

1:26:04.080 --> 1:26:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Stanford Steve he said, do U see Bearcats are going

1:26:08.720 --> 1:26:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to win the Big twelve? How about that? Well? After

1:26:18.880 --> 1:26:26.240
<v Speaker 1>tonight's game against Utah, you see hosts Arizona and then

1:26:27.000 --> 1:26:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you see hosts number ten BYU. Is there a chance

1:26:31.040 --> 1:26:33.800
<v Speaker 1>at College Game Day could come back to Knippert Stadium

1:26:34.320 --> 1:26:37.320
<v Speaker 1>this year? How awesome would that be? And then the

1:26:37.360 --> 1:26:43.040
<v Speaker 1>regular season you see finishes up the twenty twenty five

1:26:44.120 --> 1:26:49.519
<v Speaker 1>regular season at TCU. So tough schedule down the stretch

1:26:49.560 --> 1:26:54.480
<v Speaker 1>here with two top twenty five teams Utah and BYU.

1:26:56.760 --> 1:27:00.479
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be so important for UC to weather

1:27:01.640 --> 1:27:06.799
<v Speaker 1>the storm early tonight at Rice Echo Stadium. The crowd's

1:27:06.840 --> 1:27:11.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be absolutely electric. You see, cannot panic, all right,

1:27:12.439 --> 1:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>U see's got to prove that it can contain the

1:27:18.160 --> 1:27:28.080
<v Speaker 1>running game of Utah, and Utah's defense is going to

1:27:28.120 --> 1:27:35.000
<v Speaker 1>attempt to shut down Brendan Soresby and this high powered

1:27:35.840 --> 1:27:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you see offense. So if you see could just weather

1:27:38.960 --> 1:27:43.760
<v Speaker 1>the storm early and not panic in front of a

1:27:44.560 --> 1:27:51.639
<v Speaker 1>incredibly hostile crowd and then really hopefully take a lead,

1:27:52.400 --> 1:27:56.400
<v Speaker 1>build on it and if not, be close enough in

1:27:56.439 --> 1:28:02.160
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter that you can steal the victory late

1:28:02.200 --> 1:28:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in the game. But the start really of the of

1:28:07.040 --> 1:28:11.479
<v Speaker 1>the game and then the third quarter it's, uh, it's

1:28:11.600 --> 1:28:16.440
<v Speaker 1>just absolutely huge. But if they would suffer a turnover

1:28:18.080 --> 1:28:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and fall behind with that hostile crowd, you don't want

1:28:26.400 --> 1:28:32.320
<v Speaker 1>it to get ugly. And then just looking at the

1:28:36.400 --> 1:28:41.439
<v Speaker 1>right now, the spread is eleven and a half for

1:28:41.640 --> 1:28:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Utah minus eleven point five, so you see a big

1:28:47.760 --> 1:28:53.800
<v Speaker 1>underdog tonight and the over undertotal is fifty eight and

1:28:53.840 --> 1:29:00.360
<v Speaker 1>a half points. So, man, just get ready for a

1:29:00.600 --> 1:29:03.200
<v Speaker 1>huge night here game seven of the World Series, and

1:29:03.280 --> 1:29:06.439
<v Speaker 1>you see Utah coming. And after the bottom of the

1:29:06.479 --> 1:29:09.760
<v Speaker 1>hour news, we'll welcome in Scott Springer of the Cincinnati

1:29:09.880 --> 1:29:13.000

<v Speaker 1>Big twelve Conference showdown between the number seventeen you see

<v Speaker 11>It's gorgeous here ben to BYU and now at Rice

1:29:59.160 --> 1:30:02.280
<v Speaker 11>Ecles Stadium. And I'm not so sure. I don't know

1:30:02.320 --> 1:30:04.320
<v Speaker 11>which one is the best. I think this one might be.

1:30:04.400 --> 1:30:07.400
<v Speaker 11>Looking at the view. They both have outstanding views. And

1:30:07.840 --> 1:30:09.679
<v Speaker 11>you know, the guys up here have to call the game.

1:30:09.720 --> 1:30:12.720
<v Speaker 11>But what a night, you know, clear night shoot on

1:30:12.720 --> 1:30:15.640
<v Speaker 11>the big screen. They got Tennessee and Oklahoma going on,

1:30:15.680 --> 1:30:19.040
<v Speaker 11>and Mo's got the World Series on and the Dacoozie

1:30:19.080 --> 1:30:22.000
<v Speaker 11>Jets running and all sorts of filet mignon wrapped in

1:30:22.120 --> 1:30:25.000
<v Speaker 11>bacon and all the amenities that are radio crew would get.

1:30:25.080 --> 1:30:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh that is fantastic, and I can only imagine what

1:30:27.400 --> 1:30:30.559
<v Speaker 1>the scene is like there. Just watching some of the

1:30:30.600 --> 1:30:34.759
<v Speaker 1>college game Day on ESPN this morning, that place was electric.

1:30:34.840 --> 1:30:38.240
<v Speaker 1>There was a thing called the ute meter, and I

1:30:38.240 --> 1:30:41.320
<v Speaker 1>guess the decibels were ear splitting out there. But just

1:30:42.360 --> 1:30:44.439
<v Speaker 1>that crowd has got to be electric out there.

1:30:45.760 --> 1:30:48.320
<v Speaker 11>They're a noisy lunch They were up early, so we'll

1:30:48.320 --> 1:30:50.240
<v Speaker 11>see if they went home and took a nap, because

1:30:50.280 --> 1:30:52.599
<v Speaker 11>after game day ended, you know, it was ten hours

1:30:52.600 --> 1:30:56.680
<v Speaker 11>and fifteen minutes until kickoff, so a long, long night

1:30:56.760 --> 1:30:59.040
<v Speaker 11>here in Salt Lake City. But I'm looking at the

1:30:59.120 --> 1:31:03.759
<v Speaker 11>muss right now. It's Muss, Muss, mighty Utah student section

1:31:03.880 --> 1:31:04.800
<v Speaker 11>is what that stands for.

1:31:05.360 --> 1:31:06.559
<v Speaker 8>And apparently their deals.

1:31:06.560 --> 1:31:08.479
<v Speaker 11>They jump up and down on third down and they

1:31:08.479 --> 1:31:11.720
<v Speaker 11>try to disrupt the count and get the teams to

1:31:11.800 --> 1:31:14.360
<v Speaker 11>jump off sides. But the one thing you see has

1:31:14.400 --> 1:31:17.280
<v Speaker 11>going for now, we'll see. You know, this might be

1:31:17.360 --> 1:31:20.200
<v Speaker 11>louder than we think, but the first game against Nebraska

1:31:20.360 --> 1:31:23.800
<v Speaker 11>Arrowhead Stadium was as loud as I've heard. Dan Horde

1:31:23.800 --> 1:31:26.519
<v Speaker 11>has called Bengals Chiefs games there. He said it's the

1:31:26.600 --> 1:31:30.280
<v Speaker 11>loudest he's ever heard. And U see, did all right?

1:31:30.320 --> 1:31:33.240
<v Speaker 11>You know, you're passed away from winning that game. It

1:31:33.320 --> 1:31:35.800
<v Speaker 11>certainly was loud, and then I think that's helped them

1:31:35.800 --> 1:31:38.080
<v Speaker 11>going on the road to other places, you know, like

1:31:38.160 --> 1:31:40.519
<v Speaker 11>Kansas where they win in the final minute forty five

1:31:40.600 --> 1:31:43.920
<v Speaker 11>and Oklahoma State was still loud even though their team

1:31:44.000 --> 1:31:46.639
<v Speaker 11>is not doing as well. So I think they're well

1:31:46.680 --> 1:31:49.400
<v Speaker 11>prepared for this. They're probably ready to go silent if

1:31:49.439 --> 1:31:52.800
<v Speaker 11>need be. They're just running into a very tough team.

1:31:52.800 --> 1:31:54.960
<v Speaker 11>It's very very good at night and very very good

1:31:55.000 --> 1:31:55.320
<v Speaker 11>at home.

1:31:56.160 --> 1:32:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Scott Springer's with us to preview UC and Utah tonight. Gosh,

1:32:00.280 --> 1:32:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at standings here after Texas Tech's forty three

1:32:04.439 --> 1:32:07.760
<v Speaker 1>to twenty victory over k State. The thirteenth ranked Red

1:32:07.840 --> 1:32:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Raiders win today and banned a little bit of a

1:32:10.880 --> 1:32:14.280
<v Speaker 1>tighten up, you know, in the Big twelve, but BYU

1:32:14.400 --> 1:32:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you see at the top of the standings a half

1:32:16.400 --> 1:32:21.000
<v Speaker 1>game back. Here is is Texas Tech and this is gosh,

1:32:21.080 --> 1:32:23.599
<v Speaker 1>what an opportunity. I guess that's the key word here

1:32:23.760 --> 1:32:25.480
<v Speaker 1>for that. You see Bearcats tonight.

1:32:26.160 --> 1:32:28.200
<v Speaker 11>Well that's the way you have to look at it.

1:32:28.240 --> 1:32:31.040
<v Speaker 11>If you're you see fanas, you're here, you know you're here.

1:32:31.120 --> 1:32:34.000
<v Speaker 11>You're seven and one. It's better better than being you know,

1:32:34.080 --> 1:32:36.479
<v Speaker 11>two and five or whatever, where this game doesn't matter.

1:32:36.680 --> 1:32:38.360
<v Speaker 8>The game matters. Now.

1:32:38.400 --> 1:32:40.360
<v Speaker 11>I don't know what the oddsmakers are seeing because it

1:32:40.439 --> 1:32:42.759
<v Speaker 11>started out with a ten, ten and a half point spread,

1:32:42.760 --> 1:32:44.840
<v Speaker 11>and I'm looking at ESPN now it's up to and

1:32:44.880 --> 1:32:45.320
<v Speaker 11>eleven and.

1:32:45.320 --> 1:32:48.840
<v Speaker 8>A half point spread. So Utah, they're mighty.

1:32:48.880 --> 1:32:52.400
<v Speaker 11>They have scored over forty points in five games this season,

1:32:52.760 --> 1:32:56.160
<v Speaker 11>but the Bearcats have also scored three games over forty.

1:32:56.200 --> 1:32:59.880
<v Speaker 11>They have had six games total over thirty points, so

1:33:01.120 --> 1:33:03.920
<v Speaker 11>on average, they're both right and around, you know, almost

1:33:03.920 --> 1:33:07.360
<v Speaker 11>thirty nine points per game. Both have very good running attacks.

1:33:07.760 --> 1:33:10.200
<v Speaker 11>You talked just about round Colorado off the field by

1:33:10.280 --> 1:33:13.160
<v Speaker 11>halftime last week, and that was with their backup quarterback

1:33:13.240 --> 1:33:16.080
<v Speaker 11>Bird Ficklin and Devin dan Pier is supposed to be

1:33:16.360 --> 1:33:18.920
<v Speaker 11>ready to go tonight, so he's you know, he can

1:33:18.920 --> 1:33:20.400
<v Speaker 11>throw it, he can run it, he can do a

1:33:20.400 --> 1:33:24.240
<v Speaker 11>lot of things. So can Brendan Sorosby. So you need

1:33:24.280 --> 1:33:27.599
<v Speaker 11>some Bearcats to step up. You probably need some turnovers tonight.

1:33:28.160 --> 1:33:31.840
<v Speaker 11>U See has not had many turnovers. Sorbie just one interception.

1:33:32.200 --> 1:33:35.960
<v Speaker 11>He's only been sacked twice, so if they can, you know,

1:33:36.600 --> 1:33:40.080
<v Speaker 11>keep it like that offensively and then defensively maybe you know,

1:33:40.160 --> 1:33:42.479
<v Speaker 11>come up with something just one interception this year for

1:33:42.560 --> 1:33:45.519
<v Speaker 11>the Bearcat defense, which seems kind of odd, but they've

1:33:45.520 --> 1:33:46.920
<v Speaker 11>only lost one game.

1:33:47.320 --> 1:33:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and Brendon sorosby twenty touchdown passes want just one interception. Incredible.

1:33:52.920 --> 1:33:56.040
<v Speaker 1>The total for tonight on ESPN is fifty eight and

1:33:56.040 --> 1:33:59.200
<v Speaker 1>a half points. Gosh, I mean the knee jerk reaction

1:33:59.360 --> 1:34:01.559
<v Speaker 1>is you know, the total is going to go over that,

1:34:02.280 --> 1:34:04.599
<v Speaker 1>but it's going to be fun. And the one thing

1:34:04.640 --> 1:34:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I told the listeners earlier, you know, you see has

1:34:08.479 --> 1:34:11.920
<v Speaker 1>to kind of weather the storm early, you know, with

1:34:12.479 --> 1:34:16.680
<v Speaker 1>an electric crowd in a hostile environment, and just be

1:34:16.840 --> 1:34:20.760
<v Speaker 1>cool and hopefully get a lead and build on it

1:34:20.880 --> 1:34:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and if not, man be close enough in the fourth

1:34:23.200 --> 1:34:24.400
<v Speaker 1>quarter to steal this thing.

1:34:25.640 --> 1:34:28.160
<v Speaker 11>Well, if you look at their other games, they've had

1:34:28.720 --> 1:34:31.679
<v Speaker 11>reasonably good first half where they've come out hut and they've

1:34:31.920 --> 1:34:34.920
<v Speaker 11>played most of their offense in the first half and

1:34:35.000 --> 1:34:37.240
<v Speaker 11>then kind of dialed it back and chewed up the

1:34:37.280 --> 1:34:39.920
<v Speaker 11>clock and won the games. So a couple of the

1:34:39.960 --> 1:34:42.160
<v Speaker 11>games got a little close at one point or another,

1:34:42.240 --> 1:34:44.120
<v Speaker 11>but then you see pulled away. You know, last week

1:34:44.200 --> 1:34:46.760
<v Speaker 11>forty one to twenty against Baylor, that got to be

1:34:46.840 --> 1:34:48.760
<v Speaker 11>twenty eight twenty at one point, and they had a

1:34:48.760 --> 1:34:51.040
<v Speaker 11>big lead, had a big lead against Iowa State.

1:34:51.040 --> 1:34:53.000
<v Speaker 8>Iowa State came back, but they held them off.

1:34:53.400 --> 1:34:55.920
<v Speaker 11>Oklahoma State got a little bit close, but you see,

1:34:55.920 --> 1:34:58.280
<v Speaker 11>made a rally and ran away. The only game they

1:34:58.360 --> 1:35:01.160
<v Speaker 11>trailed at halftime is Nebraska, and that should have been

1:35:01.200 --> 1:35:04.280
<v Speaker 11>six to three. There was a I think Caleb Goodie

1:35:04.320 --> 1:35:06.519
<v Speaker 11>dropped the pass. There was a fumble and that led

1:35:06.560 --> 1:35:09.760
<v Speaker 11>to a Nebraska touchdown right before halftime. So that was

1:35:09.800 --> 1:35:12.880
<v Speaker 11>thirteen to three and a half and they've that's the

1:35:12.920 --> 1:35:14.799
<v Speaker 11>only game that they've trailed at halftime.

1:35:15.720 --> 1:35:18.920
<v Speaker 1>And I really like, gosh the one two paunch that

1:35:19.120 --> 1:35:22.000
<v Speaker 1>UC has, you know at running back, and it has

1:35:22.000 --> 1:35:26.920
<v Speaker 1>certainly helped Brendan Soresby. Also, best friend of the quarterback

1:35:26.960 --> 1:35:28.960
<v Speaker 1>is Irons out tonight? Is he okay?

1:35:29.000 --> 1:35:31.840
<v Speaker 11>Kevin Pryor is out? Yeah, he is out, and they

1:35:31.840 --> 1:35:34.120
<v Speaker 11>declared him out earlier in the week. So you're gonna

1:35:34.120 --> 1:35:35.920
<v Speaker 11>see a lot of tune with Walker. But he's the

1:35:35.960 --> 1:35:39.280
<v Speaker 11>guy that I mean, he just belted the kid from

1:35:39.320 --> 1:35:41.080
<v Speaker 11>Ioway stayed a few weeks back I don't know if

1:35:41.120 --> 1:35:43.639
<v Speaker 11>you saw the video. Yes, he des trucked him and

1:35:44.240 --> 1:35:46.960
<v Speaker 11>he's that's the way he runs. He's a bulldozers about

1:35:47.000 --> 1:35:49.000
<v Speaker 11>five eight two hundred and twenty pounds.

1:35:48.680 --> 1:35:50.040
<v Speaker 8>And they'll just take you down.

1:35:50.840 --> 1:35:53.439
<v Speaker 11>And I think what you're probably going to see in

1:35:53.880 --> 1:35:57.400
<v Speaker 11>the place of Heaven Pryor would be I'm guessing Manny

1:35:57.439 --> 1:36:02.080
<v Speaker 11>Covey because he's very fast. Against Texas Tech a year ago,

1:36:02.080 --> 1:36:04.280
<v Speaker 11>he came in when Corey Kiner went out very early

1:36:04.280 --> 1:36:07.160
<v Speaker 11>in the first quarter, and he didn't necessarily run as much,

1:36:07.200 --> 1:36:09.479
<v Speaker 11>but he got six passes for one hundred yards and

1:36:09.479 --> 1:36:13.040
<v Speaker 11>scored two touchdowns. So very fast, elusive similar to prior.

1:36:13.640 --> 1:36:17.120
<v Speaker 11>He also had a pun return called back against Kansas

1:36:17.160 --> 1:36:17.719
<v Speaker 11>in that game.

1:36:17.720 --> 1:36:19.639
<v Speaker 8>But if you remember that game, you.

1:36:19.640 --> 1:36:22.680
<v Speaker 11>See had four touchdowns called back against against Kansas and

1:36:23.000 --> 1:36:26.559
<v Speaker 11>still won. So they're playing some other guys that night too.

1:36:27.120 --> 1:36:30.160
<v Speaker 11>And then the Kenny Covey Yeah.

1:36:29.479 --> 1:36:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Great, yeah.

1:36:30.080 --> 1:36:33.280
<v Speaker 11>Chance Williams is another guy that out of Grambling State

1:36:33.360 --> 1:36:36.080
<v Speaker 11>that could factor in here running wise.

1:36:36.160 --> 1:36:39.040
<v Speaker 1>And definitely the wide receivers for U see the guys

1:36:39.080 --> 1:36:43.200
<v Speaker 1>they brought in here, there's some special talent there.

1:36:43.720 --> 1:36:46.639
<v Speaker 11>For Brent Well, they stretched the field yes, Caleb Goody

1:36:46.720 --> 1:36:50.280
<v Speaker 11>averages you know, over nineteen yards per catch, and then

1:36:50.320 --> 1:36:53.519
<v Speaker 11>you have Jeff Caldwell round seventeen and that Raine Cyrus.

1:36:53.520 --> 1:36:57.160
<v Speaker 11>Allen's more the possession receiver at eleven something, but he

1:36:57.200 --> 1:36:59.600
<v Speaker 11>can make some moves and score the ball for you.

1:37:00.360 --> 1:37:03.400
<v Speaker 11>And Noah Jennings Isaiah Johnson two guys that have come up.

1:37:03.479 --> 1:37:06.519
<v Speaker 11>So they've done better at receiver with guys that are

1:37:06.520 --> 1:37:10.800
<v Speaker 11>a little bit faster and making some plays. So but

1:37:11.120 --> 1:37:12.800
<v Speaker 11>for all that to work, you know, there has to

1:37:12.840 --> 1:37:15.000
<v Speaker 11>be some form of a run. And the Barrikats have

1:37:15.040 --> 1:37:17.559
<v Speaker 11>normally been decent and running the ball, typically get over

1:37:17.600 --> 1:37:20.599
<v Speaker 11>two hundred yards a game. But you're facing a team

1:37:20.640 --> 1:37:23.759
<v Speaker 11>that last week ran for well over four hundred yards

1:37:23.960 --> 1:37:26.360
<v Speaker 11>on the ground. The most UC's given up was I

1:37:26.400 --> 1:37:29.720
<v Speaker 11>think two twenty eight against Oklahoma State. So it's it's

1:37:29.760 --> 1:37:33.200
<v Speaker 11>stopped the run for the defense and established the run

1:37:33.240 --> 1:37:33.879
<v Speaker 11>for the offense.

1:37:34.080 --> 1:37:34.640
<v Speaker 8>Simple as that.

1:37:34.880 --> 1:37:37.120
<v Speaker 1>And Scott Springer's with us for a couple more minutes.

1:37:37.120 --> 1:37:40.800
<v Speaker 1>In Scott, you know, a a three four defense, three

1:37:40.880 --> 1:37:44.479
<v Speaker 1>down lineman. Man, it worries me at times, you know,

1:37:45.040 --> 1:37:48.880
<v Speaker 1>almost a natural crease in a way for a running back.

1:37:48.880 --> 1:37:52.680
<v Speaker 1>But they They've shown a four down look too, haven't they.

1:37:52.840 --> 1:37:53.200
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

1:37:53.280 --> 1:37:56.800
<v Speaker 11>Well, Sadderfield mentioned earlier this week that they probably will

1:37:56.800 --> 1:37:59.360
<v Speaker 11>have to crowd the box a little bit more based

1:37:59.400 --> 1:38:01.679
<v Speaker 11>on the way this runs the ball, So I would

1:38:01.720 --> 1:38:04.000
<v Speaker 11>look for more of that, and we'll see.

1:38:03.800 --> 1:38:05.080
<v Speaker 8>How they do throwing the ball.

1:38:06.120 --> 1:38:09.439
<v Speaker 11>But to be an interesting game, It's feel like I've

1:38:09.439 --> 1:38:12.200
<v Speaker 11>been up all day long, you know, looking at all

1:38:12.200 --> 1:38:15.559
<v Speaker 11>this stuff, and it's finally nighttime here and the crowd's

1:38:15.760 --> 1:38:16.720
<v Speaker 11>not yet filed in.

1:38:16.800 --> 1:38:19.320
<v Speaker 8>But I'm sure it's going to be a good one.

1:38:19.360 --> 1:38:19.559
<v Speaker 4>You know.

1:38:19.600 --> 1:38:23.040
<v Speaker 11>It seats about fifty one thousand and change, and the

1:38:23.120 --> 1:38:26.720
<v Speaker 11>students we'll see, like if they're still awake, if they

1:38:26.760 --> 1:38:29.120
<v Speaker 11>got an app or if they're backfired up again or

1:38:29.200 --> 1:38:31.160
<v Speaker 11>I don't know, they were worked up this morning and

1:38:31.439 --> 1:38:33.679
<v Speaker 11>they did not have very kind things to say about

1:38:33.720 --> 1:38:35.000
<v Speaker 11>their neighbors and Proglo.

1:38:34.800 --> 1:38:35.479
<v Speaker 8>I know that much.

1:38:36.000 --> 1:38:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh bet, I'll bet it's a two hour time difference

1:38:39.680 --> 1:38:42.880
<v Speaker 1>out there, So a ten to fifteen start is an

1:38:42.880 --> 1:38:45.400
<v Speaker 1>eight to fifteen start. Our coverage starts here locally at

1:38:45.479 --> 1:38:48.479
<v Speaker 1>nine to fifteen. And just really looking forward to this

1:38:48.560 --> 1:38:52.559
<v Speaker 1>game and the opportunity in front of U s here

1:38:52.560 --> 1:38:56.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to win its eighth consecutive game and tied atop

1:38:56.880 --> 1:38:59.639
<v Speaker 1>the standards with BYU. And just looking at the schedule here,

1:39:00.040 --> 1:39:04.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, with Arizona coming in here and then number

1:39:04.080 --> 1:39:06.600
<v Speaker 1>ten b YU and then going on the road to TCU.

1:39:06.920 --> 1:39:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm loving Stanford Steve Pick of UC winning the Big twelve.

1:39:13.400 --> 1:39:14.439
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, he's a good guy.

1:39:14.640 --> 1:39:16.400
<v Speaker 11>I got to talk to him yesterday and he's a

1:39:16.439 --> 1:39:19.519
<v Speaker 11>former tight end and he was raving about Joe roy Or.

1:39:19.520 --> 1:39:22.519
<v Speaker 11>He loves Joe Royer and maybe Joe Royer gets the

1:39:22.560 --> 1:39:24.600
<v Speaker 11>ball more tonight and that would that would help the

1:39:24.600 --> 1:39:27.000
<v Speaker 11>Bearcats out. But back to what you're saying, you know,

1:39:27.040 --> 1:39:30.000
<v Speaker 11>the schedule is certainly not easy for the Bearcats. You

1:39:30.040 --> 1:39:33.000
<v Speaker 11>look at Texas Techa one today and so they're going

1:39:33.040 --> 1:39:35.200
<v Speaker 11>to play BYU next week. I wouldn't be shocked to

1:39:35.200 --> 1:39:37.479
<v Speaker 11>find out that the game day goes to Lubbock for

1:39:37.520 --> 1:39:41.519
<v Speaker 11>that game. But then BYU is in with UC on

1:39:41.560 --> 1:39:44.720
<v Speaker 11>November twenty second, that's a game coming up. You see,

1:39:44.760 --> 1:39:48.000
<v Speaker 11>we'll have Arizona first on the fifteenth, and Arizona is

1:39:48.520 --> 1:39:51.679
<v Speaker 11>you know, they're thumping Colorado thirty eight to seven tonight,

1:39:51.800 --> 1:39:56.320
<v Speaker 11>So Arizona's good. BYU is good TCU will be at

1:39:56.320 --> 1:39:57.280
<v Speaker 11>home in Fort Worth.

1:39:58.200 --> 1:39:59.120
<v Speaker 8>These guys are good.

1:39:59.280 --> 1:40:01.760
<v Speaker 11>Everybody's good, so you might as well be good right

1:40:01.800 --> 1:40:04.120
<v Speaker 11>along with him and take your chances.

1:40:04.120 --> 1:40:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Seven teams in the Big twelve two losses or one

1:40:10.960 --> 1:40:14.519
<v Speaker 1>or none, so it's it's shaping up to be a

1:40:14.560 --> 1:40:15.599
<v Speaker 1>fantastic conference.

1:40:16.680 --> 1:40:18.240
<v Speaker 8>Well, and you can't take anyone lightly.

1:40:18.320 --> 1:40:20.800
<v Speaker 11>Houston just jumped into the top twenty five this week

1:40:20.840 --> 1:40:23.599
<v Speaker 11>and they were seven and one, and they lose at

1:40:23.600 --> 1:40:26.559
<v Speaker 11>home today to West Virginia forty five thirty five, So

1:40:26.680 --> 1:40:29.200
<v Speaker 11>rich Rod gets one over the Cougars. I guess that

1:40:29.280 --> 1:40:31.519
<v Speaker 11>might have been the Holgerson ball, since he used to

1:40:31.520 --> 1:40:34.639
<v Speaker 11>coach at both the places, but he's he's long gone.

1:40:34.680 --> 1:40:36.559
<v Speaker 11>He's at Nebraska offensive coordinator.

1:40:36.760 --> 1:40:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Beautiful, and the view has to be spectacular there. Gosh,

1:40:39.800 --> 1:40:43.280
<v Speaker 1>do you find yourself having to concentrate on the field.

1:40:45.040 --> 1:40:47.920
<v Speaker 11>Well, once it gets dark, he really can't see these

1:40:47.960 --> 1:40:50.479
<v Speaker 11>mountains as much as he did earlier. So yeah, and

1:40:50.560 --> 1:40:52.799
<v Speaker 11>the lights are on so you really can focus.

1:40:52.880 --> 1:40:53.960
<v Speaker 4>But yeah.

1:40:54.000 --> 1:40:56.840
<v Speaker 11>My youngest son and his wife live in near Salt

1:40:56.920 --> 1:40:58.759
<v Speaker 11>Lake City, so I've been out here a fair amount

1:40:58.760 --> 1:41:01.880
<v Speaker 11>of times, and I tell them, one of these days

1:41:01.920 --> 1:41:03.760
<v Speaker 11>I'm going to get tired of taking pictures. But it

1:41:03.800 --> 1:41:05.920
<v Speaker 11>hasn't happened yet because I went on a walk today

1:41:05.960 --> 1:41:08.880
<v Speaker 11>and it's just gorgeous. You can't help yourself, you know,

1:41:08.920 --> 1:41:12.320
<v Speaker 11>but look around and look at everything. It's it's really awesome.

1:41:12.400 --> 1:41:15.000
<v Speaker 11>But the bearcats can't look at the mountains. They got

1:41:15.040 --> 1:41:16.000
<v Speaker 11>to keep climbing the hill.

1:41:16.600 --> 1:41:20.160
<v Speaker 1>And Scott Springer before I let you go, just a

1:41:20.200 --> 1:41:23.240
<v Speaker 1>couple of real keys here tonight for the for a

1:41:23.240 --> 1:41:24.520
<v Speaker 1>bear Cat's victory.

1:41:26.280 --> 1:41:26.920
<v Speaker 8>Well the keys.

1:41:27.280 --> 1:41:29.800
<v Speaker 11>Tommy Walker has to get the run going and be

1:41:29.920 --> 1:41:33.040
<v Speaker 11>successful with the run or whoever's running. And if they

1:41:33.080 --> 1:41:35.160
<v Speaker 11>can't run, you know, like Manny Covey has been good

1:41:35.200 --> 1:41:37.479
<v Speaker 11>at taking short dump passes it and getting yard ex

1:41:37.520 --> 1:41:39.960
<v Speaker 11>that way, so that has to work.

1:41:41.080 --> 1:41:43.120
<v Speaker 8>You got to keep sores v upright.

1:41:43.200 --> 1:41:46.160
<v Speaker 11>It's only been sacked twice, and I think Utah sacked

1:41:46.200 --> 1:41:50.240
<v Speaker 11>Colorado's quarterback seven times last week. So keeps sores v

1:41:50.360 --> 1:41:54.040
<v Speaker 11>upright and then defensively pressure their quarterback.

1:41:54.080 --> 1:41:56.240
<v Speaker 8>And it's not going to be easy because he's very elusive.

1:41:56.280 --> 1:41:59.880
<v Speaker 11>Devin Damfier came from New Mexico and Utah's offensive court

1:42:00.240 --> 1:42:02.759
<v Speaker 11>also came from New Mexico, and that's the system.

1:42:02.800 --> 1:42:05.120
<v Speaker 8>That they run, So you have a very elusive quarterback.

1:42:06.200 --> 1:42:08.479
<v Speaker 11>You just you're probably going to give up yards, but

1:42:08.960 --> 1:42:10.640
<v Speaker 11>you know, maybe if you can just give up the

1:42:10.720 --> 1:42:12.599
<v Speaker 11>yards between the twenties, you have a chance.

1:42:13.760 --> 1:42:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, we really appreciate you joining us tonight, Scott, and

1:42:17.320 --> 1:42:20.679
<v Speaker 1>we look forward to the broadcast here with with Dan Horde,

1:42:20.720 --> 1:42:24.280

1:42:24.360 --> 1:42:25.439
<v Speaker 1>night here for the Bearcats.

1:42:26.360 --> 1:42:27.240
<v Speaker 8>They're all ready to go.

1:42:27.320 --> 1:42:30.120
<v Speaker 11>It's a nice snug booth and Tony's got his skittles

1:42:30.360 --> 1:42:31.960
<v Speaker 11>to the right here. I told him I would stay

1:42:31.960 --> 1:42:35.120
<v Speaker 11>away from him because that's that's like his go.

1:42:35.000 --> 1:42:38.479

<v Speaker 3>I'm just so black.

1:43:37.760 --> 1:43:40.719
<v Speaker 2>College game Day finally went to a Big twelfth city.

1:43:41.040 --> 1:43:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Big twelve finally got the national attention.

1:43:44.040 --> 1:43:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Amen to that I was able to watch for a

1:43:46.840 --> 1:43:50.200
<v Speaker 1>little while this morning. The place looked just incredible.

1:43:51.520 --> 1:43:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that crowd was super electric. And I don't

1:43:54.640 --> 1:43:56.400
<v Speaker 2>know if we're going to shut up at any point

1:43:56.479 --> 1:43:59.120
<v Speaker 2>during this game tonight, the last time by Big twelve.

1:43:59.120 --> 1:44:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Teams are right simultaneously in the AP Top twenty five.

1:44:02.400 --> 1:44:05.760
<v Speaker 2>What September twenty second of last year, and we're about

1:44:05.800 --> 1:44:07.640
<v Speaker 2>to seat the Big twelve Maniston and at ten to

1:44:07.640 --> 1:44:12.160
<v Speaker 2>fifteen a kickoff Eastern time, as the UC Bearcats take

1:44:12.200 --> 1:44:12.960
<v Speaker 2>on the usty youth.

1:44:13.200 --> 1:44:17.559
<v Speaker 1>Man, you did your homework. Yeah. Five teams ranked out

1:44:17.600 --> 1:44:20.360
<v Speaker 1>of the Big Twelve in the top twenty five, Number

1:44:20.360 --> 1:44:24.960
<v Speaker 1>ten BYU the seventeenth ranked Bearcats, thirteenth ranked Texas Tech

1:44:25.000 --> 1:44:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Red Raiders, the Cougars of Houston twenty second for the

1:44:28.640 --> 1:44:33.439
<v Speaker 1>time being, although they got beat today and then yeah

1:44:33.479 --> 1:44:37.040
<v Speaker 1>and then twenty fourth rank Utah. So it's a it's

1:44:37.040 --> 1:44:42.040
<v Speaker 1>a great conference, it's a competitive conference. The top of

1:44:42.080 --> 1:44:45.519
<v Speaker 1>it little the tighten up brother and uh, it's gonna

1:44:45.560 --> 1:44:47.880
<v Speaker 1>be fun tonight watching the Bearcats. Hope they can pull

1:44:47.920 --> 1:44:51.320
<v Speaker 1>this one out. Oh yeah, what else do you like

1:44:51.360 --> 1:44:52.519
<v Speaker 1>about UC tonight?

1:44:54.160 --> 1:44:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think if there's any team that could

1:44:56.200 --> 1:44:59.200
<v Speaker 2>put a rain on these Big ten I mean twelve

1:44:59.200 --> 1:45:02.040
<v Speaker 2>teams perad, I think it's the UC Bearcats. And what

1:45:02.120 --> 1:45:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Brendan Swersby has done. Scott Sadderfield during Big twe B

1:45:05.280 --> 1:45:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Day earlier in the season, he was talking up a

1:45:07.080 --> 1:45:11.120
<v Speaker 2>storm about Brendon Swersby and Brandon Sorosby backed it up.

1:45:11.200 --> 1:45:15.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's gone dead been straight games with the

1:45:15.920 --> 1:45:19.000
<v Speaker 2>multiple pass tds and zero interceptions, and he's gonna have

1:45:19.080 --> 1:45:22.519
<v Speaker 2>to keep that streak tonight to pull out of YUC victory.

1:45:24.280 --> 1:45:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Forty three passing yards, twenty touchdowns and only one interception.

1:45:29.200 --> 1:45:30.560
<v Speaker 1>That's absolutely incredible.

1:45:31.760 --> 1:45:32.120
<v Speaker 11>Oh yeah.

1:45:32.160 --> 1:45:34.760
<v Speaker 2>I compared the last year with the struggles that they

1:45:34.760 --> 1:45:36.680
<v Speaker 2>had last year in the Big Twelve Conference. Is just

1:45:36.680 --> 1:45:37.439
<v Speaker 2>great to see him.

1:45:37.960 --> 1:45:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, they got so close to a Bowl eligibility

1:45:41.640 --> 1:45:45.080
<v Speaker 1>then they went right down the tubes. So it's great

1:45:45.120 --> 1:45:49.240
<v Speaker 1>to secure a Bowl eligibility so early in the season.

1:45:49.280 --> 1:45:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And now let's just keep pushing. And I loved what

1:45:51.920 --> 1:45:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Stanford Steve said on ESPN College Game Day. He likes

1:45:56.680 --> 1:45:58.599
<v Speaker 1>the Bearcats to win the Big Twelve.

1:46:00.080 --> 1:46:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, but the defense is gonna have to clutch

1:46:03.120 --> 1:46:06.960
<v Speaker 2>up in this game at home. The opponents third out

1:46:07.040 --> 1:46:11.400
<v Speaker 2>conversion percentage is about thirty percent away, it's almost fifty percent,

1:46:11.439 --> 1:46:13.040
<v Speaker 2>and Utah is one of the best teams in the

1:46:13.040 --> 1:46:16.040
<v Speaker 2>country on third down. To that defense is gonna have

1:46:16.120 --> 1:46:17.280
<v Speaker 2>to really step up today.

1:46:18.120 --> 1:46:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Bryce, thank you for holding you get my caller of

1:46:20.840 --> 1:46:22.160

<v Speaker 1>of sleep tonight as we transition from Daylight Savings time

1:47:52.120 --> 1:47:56.799
<v Speaker 1>to standard time starting at two a m. On Sunday.

1:47:58.640 --> 1:48:01.799
<v Speaker 1>What a matchup We've got to the number seventeenth ranked

1:48:02.160 --> 1:48:06.040
<v Speaker 1>University of Cincinnati Bearcats against the number twenty four ranked

1:48:06.160 --> 1:48:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Utah Utes at Rice Eckles Stadium in Salt Lake City.

1:48:10.520 --> 1:48:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Kickoff is ten point fifteen, but all the coverage right

1:48:13.560 --> 1:48:17.000
<v Speaker 1>here on the Big one seven hundred WLW starting at

1:48:17.439 --> 1:48:20.759
<v Speaker 1>nine to fifteen, and it all happens at Rice Eckles

1:48:20.760 --> 1:48:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah. Well, and you heard

1:48:25.320 --> 1:48:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Scott Springer say it, It's going to be very important

1:48:29.000 --> 1:48:31.880
<v Speaker 1>for this offensive line of the UC Bearcats to keep

1:48:31.960 --> 1:48:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Brendan Soresby upright twenty touchdown passes only one interception in

1:48:38.280 --> 1:48:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a big time shout out to that offensive line. Left

1:48:41.400 --> 1:48:48.520
<v Speaker 1>tackle Joe Cotton, Left guard Evan teng Gasol center, incredible

1:48:48.880 --> 1:48:53.360
<v Speaker 1>player at center from zenia A High School, Gavin Gerhart,

1:48:53.400 --> 1:48:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the leader of this team. Right guard tarn TiO and

1:48:58.640 --> 1:49:02.879
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre Buford at tackle, and then in the trenches on defense,

1:49:03.760 --> 1:49:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Micah Coleman left defensive end, the Godfather, Dante Corleone at

1:49:10.080 --> 1:49:14.160
<v Speaker 1>nose tackle, and Jalen Hunt at right defensive end. I

1:49:14.200 --> 1:49:17.640
<v Speaker 1>think you're gonna see more stacked boxes instead of the

1:49:17.720 --> 1:49:20.960
<v Speaker 1>three to four, a lot more four down linemen for

1:49:21.120 --> 1:49:24.920
<v Speaker 1>UC tonight to trying to slow down the Utah Utes

1:49:25.280 --> 1:49:31.719
<v Speaker 1>running game. And then wow, the uh the special special

1:49:31.720 --> 1:49:34.599
<v Speaker 1>teams unit's going to be huge tonight for U, see

1:49:37.520 --> 1:49:43.080
<v Speaker 1>no doubt about that. And Max Fletcher the punter, and

1:49:43.080 --> 1:49:46.880
<v Speaker 1>then how about Stephen Russknack your placekicker. He hasn't missed

1:49:46.880 --> 1:49:50.240
<v Speaker 1>a kick, a field goal or an extra point all season.

1:49:50.760 --> 1:49:53.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's uh. It's gonna be a severe test to

1:49:53.800 --> 1:49:56.080

1:49:56.120 --> 1:50:01.720
