We will address as it should be, 50 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 3: the USC Notre Dame situation throughout the show. Well, there's 51 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 3: some people that aren't riled up at all, Like Colin 52 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 3: Cowherd tweeted out. 53 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 5: Well, he's an idiot. 54 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: When you're a full and committed member of an elite 55 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 3: conference like USC and the Big Ten, you no longer 56 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 3: need semi committed rivals from weaker conferences. The Trojans were 57 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 3: increasingly making the bigger sacrifice, So thank you. 58 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 5: I don't even know what that means. 59 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 3: Well, it's Colin Cowherd like doing gymnastics, and look at 60 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 3: we've all sacrificed a certain amount of dignity to allow 61 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 3: for modern college football to exist in the way it does, 62 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: and just cover it with a smile on their face. 63 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: The entire college football Playoff and ESPN and what they 64 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: own and don't own is the true definition of wagging 65 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: the dog. They control all of this stuff and then 66 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: they have a twenty four hour argument about it on 67 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 3: the networks that they use to control the sport with. 68 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: So we've all compromised a lot. 69 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 6: I mean, I guess we should have. Right Look, Utah 70 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 6: BYU or Oregon State like it's all come to a 71 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 6: crashing halt. Sadly well, Utah BYU started up again again. 72 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 6: Oregon Oregon State plays every year, the Apple Cup plays 73 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 6: every year. It's up to the schools to figure it out. 74 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 6: Oklahoma Texas is finally back on again. Yeah, they're being 75 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 6: gone for a couple of years. 76 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: Bedlam is gone. But again it is up to the 77 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: schools to figure this thing out. And USC Notre Dame, 78 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 3: because it was an intersectional rivalry, was not supposed to 79 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 3: be or fall victim to conference realignment, and it has 80 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: because Lincoln Riley started talking about it when he got 81 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: the job before Gen Cohen. Lincoln Riley the USC head 82 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: coach for how long? 83 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 6: Talking for years he's been the head coach. He's like, 84 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 6: he's connected with the program. Is that the guy we're 85 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 6: talking about? He is going in the program to his 86 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 6: fifth year in twenty twenty six, and he has been 87 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 6: overall a disappointment and he shouldn't get to say it, 88 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 6: whether the university does or doesn't play Notre Dame. Jen 89 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 6: Cohen should be strong enough to deal with it as 90 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 6: the US Athletic Director and make sure that the rivalry continues. 91 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 6: And the USC president, which they don't have right now, 92 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 6: or the board of trustees has got to figure it 93 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 6: out and step in or some donor or somebody. I mean, 94 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 6: they've had a year to figure this out, and they've 95 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 6: not figured it out. Notre Dame has moved on and 96 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 6: scheduled BYU and now the rivalry, if it ever resumes, 97 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 6: is not going to be on again until twenty thirty 98 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 6: at the earliest. And it is a and they did 99 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 6: UCLA tried to what push the idea of we will 100 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 6: continue it for two years as long as it's earlier 101 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 6: in the season, not in the midst of our right 102 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 6: with need of our big tench That's kind of what 103 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 6: their compromise was, right, that's what they want. 104 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: That's what well. First of all, no one should have 105 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: ever said anything, right. They should have put it out 106 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 3: there that they should have left it like it was 107 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: like it was historically, with USC traveling out there before 108 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 3: it gets too cold in mid October, not late October, 109 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: and Notre Dame coming out here when the weather is 110 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: beautiful to play Thanksgiving Day weekend. They should have left 111 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 3: it like that. It should have never been touched. No 112 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 3: one should have said anything about it, in my very 113 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 3: humble opinion, And I don't know exactly when Lincoln Riley 114 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 3: said it. It was when he was still riding pretty 115 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 3: high with Caleb Williams in his first year as the quarterback. 116 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 3: But Lincoln Riley said something to the effect of we 117 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: got to look at that or something, and then started 118 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: to say it publicly. And then USC got a new 119 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: athletic director and they started negotiating with Notre Dame, and 120 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: Notre Dame wouldn't bunch, so the USC had to feel 121 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 3: like they need to save face and get this moved 122 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: to a better time a year for them, not in 123 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 3: the teeth of when they have to go to places 124 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 3: like Nebraska, and the different arguments you hear from people 125 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 3: that carry water from modern day college football and USC 126 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: like Colin Coward, and then it just became a petty, 127 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: stubborn thing between two gigantic entities. But it started with 128 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: Lincoln Riley, and shame on Jen Cohen because it's up 129 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 3: to her to make sure that the thing keeps going 130 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 3: and to a certain degree, shame on Notre Name for 131 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: not being able to figure it out at the end 132 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 3: of the day, as our old boss used to say. 133 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: And I you know, and I know, it was a 134 00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: much different time. But when USC was beating the snot 135 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: out of Notre Dame for a decade, you know, from 136 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 3: two thousand to twenty ten, you never heard, you know, 137 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: a a peep from them. And now that USC has 138 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: lost eight of the last ten to Notre Dame, all 139 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 3: of a sudden, this rivalry is not sustainable. 140 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 5: It's too hard to Matt. 141 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 3: When I was as nothing was more important in our 142 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 3: lives as far as sports went than the football we 143 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 3: were playing and USC football, my father, my older brother, myself, 144 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 3: my uncle Tommy, my grandfather, Tom Papadakis. We were so 145 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 3: intertwined with the thing. And I lived and died watching 146 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 3: guys like Rodney Pete, our colleague, and Todd Marinovich and 147 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 3: Mark Carrier and Cadillac Cleveland Coulter and all that play. 148 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 3: I think within that stretch all the way up until 149 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 3: the game in nineteen ninety four, which was bitterly cold 150 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 3: at the coliseum, and I was there as a USC 151 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 3: football recruit in the tunnel and my brother was playing. 152 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 3: I don't think USC beat Notre Dame for thirteen years. 153 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 3: I think that game in ninety four was a tie, 154 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 3: and no one ever said anything about it. People just 155 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 3: wanted to play so bad so you could beat them, 156 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: and it was a Lou Holtz and Ron Pallace I 157 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 3: think a couple years later in ninety six that ended 158 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 3: up losing finally at the Coliseum, and that streak of 159 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 3: fourteen years not beating USC or not beating Notre Dame 160 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 3: was over. No, and you never heard anything like this, 161 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 3: we can't beat them, or we don't have a favorable schedule. 162 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 3: Just as an example, Matt, you mentioned twenty two to 163 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 3: twenty ten and Pete Carroll having a whole bunch of success. 164 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 3: Here's a great example. USC's got what Missouri State on 165 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 3: the schedule in twenty twenty five and had Georgia Southern 166 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 3: on the schedule in twenty twenty five, and you know 167 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 3: that's what they're going to do from here on out. 168 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 3: They're going to schedule three big cupcakes and then play 169 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 3: big ten games, and it's shameful. In twenty oh six, 170 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 3: USC's three non conference games were at Arkansas Nebraska and 171 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: Notre Dame. Yeah, and then they played nine pack twelve games. 172 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 3: Pete Carroll wanted to play the best, and you fast 173 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 3: forward now nineteen years and you see this level of 174 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 3: cowardice and it's hard to swallow. 175 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 6: It really is Missouri State, Georgia Southern then. Yet somehow 176 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 6: Pete figured out how to navigate and win back to 177 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 6: back national championships, win double digit games, play meaningful games 178 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 6: late in the season, year after year when you had 179 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 6: to be one of the two best teams in the 180 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 6: country to win a time, not one of the twelve, 181 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 6: one of the two. And again, it's not isolating. I 182 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 6: get it, it's not isolated to USC. So many these 183 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 6: rivalries have been kicked to. 184 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 3: The Texas Oklahoma never had it. 185 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 5: Yeah. 186 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 6: I meant to say Texas, Texas, A and M when 187 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 6: Texas left, and now obviously that's back with A and 188 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 6: M rejoining. 189 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: That was my bad, My apologies. 190 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, but this was supposed to be bigger than all 191 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 3: of those. At least it was for those of us 192 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 3: that played at USSE and for those of us that 193 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 3: played at Notre Dame. I know people feel the same. 194 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 3: I was proud that Keishawn Johnson, who's long been a 195 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 3: media guy and a very outspoken guy who does not 196 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 3: very often. I mean, he grew up in the shadow 197 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 3: of the coliseum and the university. He was a USC 198 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 3: ball boy. He ended up going to a JC and 199 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 3: then playing at USC. Definitely not an easy path. And 200 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: Keishawn almost never criticizes USC or the school and the 201 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: athletic program because they've done so much for him and 202 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 3: it's so much a part of his identity. But even 203 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 3: Keishan has been he's he went off today. Here's Keishaan 204 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 3: on Twitter. 205 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 4: I don't know what the f is going on with 206 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 4: our athletic department. 207 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 7: Okay, we got people in there that are not Trojans, 208 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 7: that don't know anything about being a trojan running our 209 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 7: athletic department. We got a head coach that knows nothing 210 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 7: about being a trojan. Why don't we just not play football? 211 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 7: How about that We're not gonna play Notre Dame again, 212 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 7: possibly till twenty thirty, is what I'm understanding. That doesn't 213 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 7: make any sense. I grew up on the Notre Dame 214 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 7: USC rivalry, and I'm not one to go in on 215 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 7: my athletic department. 216 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: Nor am I one to go in on the USC 217 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 4: football coach. 218 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 7: But if I can remember correctly, I had Lincoln Riley 219 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 7: talking about, well, I don't know if I want to play. 220 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 4: Them in the future. 221 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 7: You ain't gonna be here in the future, especially if 222 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 7: you keep missing the playoffs. 223 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 4: You're not gonna be here in the future. I promise 224 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 4: you that. 225 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 7: So I don't understand what our athletic department, our administration, okay, 226 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 7: our border trustees, border regions, whatever you want to call it. 227 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 7: What the hell are they doing? We running from teams now? 228 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 7: We running from Notre Dame. Hell, Why don't we run 229 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 7: from Oregon in Michigan and Ohio State and Wisconsin. Why 230 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 7: don't we just not be in the conference when we 231 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 7: pull that move and just play Sacramento State when we 232 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 7: play them type of teams you see, Davis, because that's 233 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 7: what we want to do. This is crazy. It really 234 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 7: is crazy if you think about it. Michigan, Ohio State, 235 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 7: one of the biggest rivalries in football. Alabama Rbor Okay, 236 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 7: they ain't canceling that. Why would we cancel our biggest 237 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 7: rivalry because. 238 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 4: We can't beat them? Me, Dick, it makes zero sense, man, 239 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 4: It's just hard to support this. Program is hard. 240 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 7: It's really hard to support this program when we keep 241 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 7: on doing this type of be stuffed this behavior. I can't, Man, 242 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 7: we need trojans doing trojan things. 243 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 4: We don't need impostors coming in and trying to do 244 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 4: trojan things. I'm gonna leave it. 245 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: At that, And I believe that the reason this has 246 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 3: happened is corroded leadership. There was nobody to stop this 247 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: at USC. And as much as I've criticized a lot 248 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 3: of the athletic directors and all the different turnover USC 249 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 3: has had over the years, a lot of people that 250 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 3: have been in that seat over the last few years 251 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 3: would have never allowed this to happen. Matt. To answer 252 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 3: your question, USC opens up with Fresno State, okay, and 253 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 3: Louisiana La Fayette. Oh, that would be just Louisiana. Yeah, 254 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 3: the Cajuns with Chyenne there, Pepper mascot. 255 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 4: I don't know what the if is going on with 256 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 4: our athletic department. 257 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 3: I cannot wait to see what school USC replaces Notre 258 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 3: Dame with now. 259 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 6: I you know, as someone who was again, I remember 260 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 6: some of the signature games growing up on the other side. 261 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: Well, you have yeah, you have a United because you 262 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 3: grew up uh in the area just right outside of 263 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 3: South Basically, when people go to the USC Notre Dame 264 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 3: game and they're USC fans and they. 265 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 5: Go out there, they r s whole town. 266 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 3: They drive through Matt's region on the way to Notre Dame, 267 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 3: so stop. 268 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 5: People, you might die, but keep driving through it. 269 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 6: But Yeah, and I just kind of think about the 270 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 6: fact that Notre Dame, what was it, uh, three four 271 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 6: years ago? Then they are probably five years ago that 272 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 6: they put a stop to the Michigan rivalry, and it's 273 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 6: not like that was the USC rivalry. Now they didn't 274 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 6: kind of go and here's the late seven I mean, 275 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 6: they were playing most every year since the late seventies, 276 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 6: but it's not s C for you know, damn near 277 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 6: a century. So I again, I'm not trying to I'm 278 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 6: not trying to say, hey, this is okay, but I'm 279 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 6: just asking, like, how much of this do we think 280 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 6: with Bavaca running his mouth about the ACC and he's 281 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 6: all pissed off about how things went this year, how 282 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 6: much of this is on them? 283 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 3: Like on Notre Dame. 284 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think splitting the pie, like, what's the is 285 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 5: it twenty. 286 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 3: I have I have no idea. They should be. Both 287 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: of these athletic departments. It's their duty to figure this 288 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 3: out for the fans and for the players, and for 289 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 3: the former players, and for the sport. So it's their 290 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 3: duty to find a middle ground and make sure that 291 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 3: there's no pause in college football's greatest rivalry. So in 292 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 3: that regard, they both think this started with Lincoln Riley 293 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 3: and Jen Cohen has not been strong enough to stop it, 294 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 3: and so she's going to go down with him in flames, isn't. 295 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 6: Isn't it her choice? I mean, she's the athletic directors 296 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 6: and she ultimately the one like yeah, but decides He's 297 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 6: not the one that coaches don't decide this crap. 298 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 7: I don't know what the if is going on with 299 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 7: our athletic department. 300 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 3: Well, nobody brought it up before Lincoln Riley. He brought 301 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 3: it up. So then people are going to point the 302 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 3: finger because no one would have even ever conceived this 303 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 3: before this guy from Muleshoe, Texas came out here and 304 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 3: started telling yeah, and started telling everybody how a hundred 305 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 3: year old rivalry that only took one year off for 306 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 3: COVID and took World War Two off it's crazy, I am. 307 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 3: I guess I'm not dumbfounded because we've been talking about 308 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 3: this for a long time. 309 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 5: You didn't think it was gonna happen. 310 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 3: I guess not today. But maybe there's some kind of 311 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: media timing about that because of the way Notre Dame 312 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 3: behaved regarding the Pop Tarts Bowl and the College Football Playoff. 313 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 3: But this is totally unrelated other than the fact if 314 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 3: you're one of those people like Colin Cowhard that thinks 315 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 3: they need to join a conference, Notre Dame doesn't need 316 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 3: to join a conference as long as NBC is willing 317 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 3: to pay him to have their own TVD Why do 318 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 3: they do that? And teams will line up to play them? 319 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 3: Say what you will, like us? He needs Notre Dame more. 320 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 3: She needs Notre Dame more. That changes every single year, 321 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 3: and the circumstance of the schedule and what the years 322 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 3: like and what happened in the year. You can't really 323 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 3: say who needs who more in any kind of general context. 324 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 6: Likes Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State they need Notre Dame. 325 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 6: That's the way their Big Ten schedule shakes out. You 326 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 6: bet you're asked they're going to need Notre Dame. 327 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 3: It's these people's job to make this work. So in 328 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 3: that regard, I would say Notre Dame is also guilty. 329 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 3: But this started with USC, and then they both came 330 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 3: to the table and there was a lot of scrutiny 331 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 3: on what was going to happen, and neither of them 332 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 3: could compromise, it seems. And I would rather have USC 333 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 3: Notre Dame in September than not have it at all. 334 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 3: I think it would be stupid to move it. 335 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 6: But if you's the middle ground you have to meet 336 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 6: to keep USC in it, then you should meet ten. 337 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 3: For USC means that we have to play Cayenne, the 338 00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 3: Louisiana Lafayette, and Georgia Southern and like he Sean said, 339 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 3: the Sacramento States of the world. Then maybe you just 340 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 3: ought to go back to the pack eight or whatever 341 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 3: and asked a note to ask Oregon State and Washington 342 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 3: State for forgiveness for blowing up their lives. This is pathetic. 343 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 3: It's really a sad day, and we're watching college football 344 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 3: slip through our fingers. But this was something that these 345 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: people could have been stewards of and hung onto in 346 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 3: a chaotic time to create some semblance of balance and 347 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 3: stability and tradition, and they have failed us. The leadership 348 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 3: has failed us. 349 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 6: It's funny, ever since you mentioned that with Pete, I'm 350 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 6: just looking at all those You know how much it changed, 351 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 6: you know, from when you would get excited about week 352 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 6: zero or week one, And here's Pete winning eleven games 353 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 6: in a year he opened with Auburn, played number eighteen, 354 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 6: Colorado top twenty five. 355 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 5: Kansas State. 356 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 3: Aren't scared of anybody, No, I wanted to measure themselves, 357 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 3: measure themselves against the best because they're trying to be 358 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 3: the best team in the country, not trying to jerrymander 359 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 3: their schedule so they can be the fifth team and 360 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 3: the big ten to get into the playoff. 361 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 5: It's sad Ohio State back to back years. Oh wait nine? 362 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean I remember talking to Jim Tressel 363 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 3: in the tunnel and is in his sweater ve. Yeah. 364 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 3: I know it's a different time and I know things 365 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 3: are changing, but this did not have to be this way. 366 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 3: And it's kind of the same way with the way 367 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 3: the Pac twelve went away. It didn't have to be 368 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,719 Speaker 3: like this. And now we live in this awkward present 369 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: and future and it is unfortunate. There's other things to 370 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 3: look forward to. Today, we have the state of hate. 371 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 3: Perhaps we're going to start out with the state of 372 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 3: hate and see where it takes us. Yeah. Probably we'll 373 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 3: have a top story of the day as the Chargers. 374 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 3: I know he's not going to win Coach of the 375 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 3: Year because there's so many other stories he should. Jim 376 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: Harbaugh has done a heck of a job this year 377 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 3: with a pretty beat up team. Yeah, finding ways to 378 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 3: win and now creating confidence in December. So we'll talk 379 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 3: about that as mad as back from Dallas and we'll 380 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 3: have house your weekend.

More importantly, some events occurring off the field 396 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 6: that have a direct impact on the Petros and Money Show, 397 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 6: and what has a direct impact on us is much 398 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 6: more important than things that perhaps are more That's why 399 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 6: we spend. 400 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 3: So much time talking about the schedule. 401 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 6: We have a proclamation that hangs in our studio. It 402 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 6: is a notice to all the other shows that they 403 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 6: aren't nearly as successful nor revered. 404 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 5: As we are. It is from what I mean. You 405 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 5: don't think it sensed that signal. 406 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 3: I mean to me, it speaks to our dedication to localities. 407 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 6: Certain Frank Yoka Yama gave us a proclamation from the 408 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 6: city of Soritos that says, we love you guys, we 409 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 6: appreciate you guys.

I believe we were at the strat 413 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 6: I believe there was a naked city trip involved. That 414 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 6: was a long time ago. It was a very long 415 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 6: time I was like Batman year one. And that key 416 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 6: that was bestowed to us upon us came from the 417 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 6: Honorable Mayor Thomas McDermott Junior. He is still the mayor 418 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 6: of the city of Hammond, Indiana, a city to which 419 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 6: the Petros and Money Show currently owns. 420 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 5: A key to the city. 421 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 3: That's where you're from. 422 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 6: And the headline in the weekend Sunday Northwest Indiana Times 423 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 6: reads today or this, yes, just yesterday's paper, with a 424 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 6: photo of a giant rig that has a huge drilling 425 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 6: mechanism making its way toward Wolf Lake to test I 426 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 6: suppose the foundation of the ground. Hammond emerges as serious 427 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 6: contender and bears widening stadium search. 428 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 3: I saw this, and there's other news today about Kansas 429 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 3: City going to Kansas. 430 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 6: So that one is official, you know. Obviously, it's also 431 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 6: official that the New York Giants and New York Jets 432 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 6: play in New Jersey. The San Francisco forty nine ers 433 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 6: play in Santa Clair, a different county than the city 434 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 6: of San Francisco. And now after announcement and announcement today. 435 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 6: As you just mentioned, p Missouri is losing their second 436 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 6: football team in just over a decade. Saint Louis lost 437 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 6: the Rams twelve years ago to Los Angeles, and now 438 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 6: Kansas City, Missouri will lose the Chiefs to Kansas City, Kansas. 439 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 3: We're gonna cross this street of here. 440 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 6: Olath, I believe is going to be getting a practice 441 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 6: facility and I multi and a multi purpose shopping district, 442 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 6: a destination like the one I traveled to over the 443 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 6: weekend where the star is Frisco, Texas, Arlington, Texas, where 444 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:36,239 Speaker 6: these football teams can create many cities destinations that go 445 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 6: beyond the eight or nine home games they have scheduled 446 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 6: for a single season. Do I think the Chicago Bears 447 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 6: will move to Hammond, Indiana? 448 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: No? 449 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 5: Oh, But I would like to point. 450 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 3: Out, do we still have our key to the city? 451 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 3: Can we frame it? 452 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 6: I think it's got to be somewhere. I would assume 453 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 6: it's somewhere in the office it was given right it's 454 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 6: it might be in the day or in one of 455 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 6: the cabinets it was given to us. It was a 456 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 6: framed key to the city to Hammond, Indiana, which is 457 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 6: now in the middle of some major National Football League 458 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 6: news as if in fact they are going to really 459 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 6: follow up on the Northwest Indiana threat because of the 460 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 6: considerably lower taxes and willingness to give the McCaskey family 461 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 6: more money than the state of Illinois, which is almost 462 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 6: as broke as California. Then maybe we will have a 463 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 6: key to the city that will house an actual NFL franchise. 464 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 3: I'd like to locate that Keyton City and put it 465 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 3: up on the wall. 466 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 6: It's good idea because it would again reinforce the idea 467 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 6: of what a successful show we have, how revered we 468 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 6: are to the actual football. And good luck to Kansas City, Kansas. 469 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 6: I believe that stadium is going to be domed and 470 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 6: it will be open in twenty thirty one, along with 471 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 6: some sort of shopping district. 472 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 3: Maybe USC Notre Dame could play there. 473 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 5: Oh, that'd be great, right there in the middle. To 474 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 5: meet in the middle. 475 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 6: Guys have the same record, They both have championship winning 476 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 6: head coaches, they both have franchise quarterbacks. Only one of 477 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 6: them controls their path to winning their division in a 478 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 6: home game in the playoffs, and yet the eleven and 479 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 6: four Chargers are viewed considerably different than the eleven and 480 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 6: four Rams. I believe the meme that is making the 481 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 6: rounds is the one of Tiger Woods, prim and proper 482 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 6: in his Sunday red black pant, perfectly tucked in combo, 483 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 6: staring at John Daily with his beard, his cigarette, his 484 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 6: loud mouthed pants, and his squatty stature. Eleven and four Chargers. 485 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 6: The Rams are plus four hundred favorites, the favorite to 486 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 6: win the Lombardi in February. The Chargers are plus two thousand, 487 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 6: tied for tenth with the forty nine Ers, who, by 488 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 6: the way, also control their path to win in the 489 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 6: NFC West. You'll hear a tier tonight against the Colts. 490 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 6: The If the forty nine Ers went out they win 491 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 6: the NFC West, they will have a home game. If 492 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 6: the Chargers win their final two games now they will 493 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 6: be champions of the AFC West for the first time 494 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 6: since two thousand and nine, just like the forty nine 495 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 6: Ers would be champions of the NFC West if they 496 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 6: win their final two games, and they would be on 497 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 6: top of the toughest division in football this season. But 498 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 6: they are viewed, for whatever reason, as a step below 499 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 6: the Seahawks and the Rams clearly at plus two thousand 500 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 6: to win the Super Bowl the Rams plus four hundred 501 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 6: the Seahawks plus five hundred. The Rams look likely to 502 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 6: be a wildcard team, which means you got to play 503 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 6: an extra game if you're not the one seed. All 504 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 6: three of your games if you were to make the 505 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 6: Super Bowl would be on the road in order to 506 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 6: make it to Super Bowl sixty in Santa Clara. The 507 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 6: mess that was the fourth quarter in Seattle set that course. 508 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 6: There is still a path to a much easier route, 509 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 6: but it does mean watching other teams in the division stumble. 510 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 6: The Bolts do not have to do that. All they 511 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 6: have to do is win. If they win their final 512 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 6: two games Saturday one thirty pm kick at home, nationally 513 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 6: televised against the Houston Texans, followed up by a week 514 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 6: eighteen trip to Denver against the Broncos, whom they've already 515 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 6: defeated in Week three at SOFI Stadium, that would hand 516 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 6: them the AFC West crown, the first that doesn't go 517 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 6: to Kansas City since two thousand and fourteen. Actually, they 518 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 6: haven't made the playoffs since twenty fourteen. They haven't been 519 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 6: winners of the AFC West in eight years very well 520 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 6: can end up being the Sunday night football game depending 521 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 6: on the implications of the aforementioned NFC West forty nine 522 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 6: or Seahawks Week eighteen game that will be played in 523 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 6: Santa Clara, and really what it is, it's it was 524 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 6: supposed to be a gauntlet the national media, the talking heads. 525 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 6: You talked about them in the opening segment, the networks 526 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 6: that have to come up with something to argue about 527 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 6: for twenty four hours a day, because embrace debate. That's 528 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 6: what gets the needle movement and people tuning in. The 529 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 6: Chargers were the number one team that was mentioned as 530 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 6: currently in the playoffs, likely to fade and missed the playoffs. 531 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 6: They beat the Raiders. They were eight and four. They 532 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 6: sat in the five slot, the top wild card position. 533 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 6: Yet everybody pointed to a closing stretch of five games 534 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 6: the Eagles on Monday Night football, defending Super Bowl champions, 535 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 6: followed by a short week and a ten am kick 536 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 6: at Arrowhead against Kansas City, followed by the number one 537 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 6: offense in the NFL on the road the Dallas Cowboys, 538 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 6: followed by the best defense in the NFL, one that's 539 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 6: been top five in the last ten years from the 540 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 6: Houston Texans and then a trip to Denver, the team 541 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 6: with the best record in the AFC currently in the AFC. 542 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 6: Some went as far to say, is I think they 543 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 6: finished eight to nine. I don't think they win another 544 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 6: game the rest of the season. The struggles of the offense, 545 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 6: the offensive line, and then they beat the Eagles, and 546 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 6: a lot of people still said, well, ugly game, five 547 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 6: field goals. They were beat up. Now they got to 548 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 6: go to Kansas City. There's no way Patrick Mahomes can 549 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 6: lose this game. He's never lost three in a row. 550 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 6: Who cares what we've seen from a team that's six 551 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 6: and seven and has not looked. 552 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 5: Good all year. 553 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 6: They were fit the Chiefs or the Chiefs were five 554 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 6: and a half point favorites. Chargers get that win. The 555 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 6: Eagles were favorites at so far. Chargers get that win. 556 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 6: And now a team that has been considerably flawed. We've 557 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 6: played soundbites from Jerry recently. Not all the time, but 558 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 6: recently they were favored by two and a half points 559 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 6: to knock off the Chargers. And we say that all 560 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 6: to point out Jim Harbaugh just wins man wherever he goes. 561 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 6: The odds makers are not. They don't care. They're just 562 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 6: trying to set a line that they've been is going 563 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 6: to bring in the closest to a fifty to fifty split, 564 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 6: and that means, yeah, the other team looks like they're 565 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 6: probably gonna win. What's the number where we can get 566 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 6: this thing split half and half? So we just clean 567 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 6: up on the juice. But Jim Harbaugh wins everywhere he goes. 568 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 3: They've overcome a lot this year, and I think that's 569 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 3: why you had a lot of people picking against them, yea, 570 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 3: because they don't have their tackles no, and Justin Herbert 571 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 3: has only one arm, and he gets beat up more 572 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 3: and more in every game, so they've been defying the odds. 573 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 6: He is the most pressured, the most hit, the most sacked. 574 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 6: This was the first game this season that he was 575 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 6: not sacked, not once, and yet they were on their fourth, No, 576 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 6: Fifth and sixth offensive tackles Austin Deculus and Bobby Hart. 577 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 6: Those two are behind Trey Pipkins and Jamal rig Sallier, 578 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 6: who are behind Rashaun Slater and Joe Walt on their 579 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 6: fifth and sixth offensive tackles. Understandable why people would have 580 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 6: their doubts. It is just their third back to back 581 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 6: eleven plus win season in franchise history seventy nine and eighty, 582 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 6: two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, and now 583 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 6: twenty four and twenty five. And like you said, they 584 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 6: did it without Slater, without Joe Walt two not just 585 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 6: Pro Bowl but all pro level quality tackles. They smoke 586 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 6: the Cowboys for thirty four points again the team's number 587 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 6: one overall offense fourth and points, putting up thirty per game, 588 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 6: and they had to trade haymakers in the first half, 589 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 6: the Cowboys scoring on their first three offensive possessions two 590 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 6: touchdowns in a field goal, and the Chargers answering with 591 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 6: three touchdowns in the first half and then shut them 592 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 6: out in the second half again underdogs. Derwin James says, 593 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 6: it's how they prefer it. It's what they'd rather be 594 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 6: than a team that's being celebrated on TV about how 595 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 6: good they are and how likely they are to win 596 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. I don't get the idea that that's 597 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 6: going to happen anytime soon, but speaking to Derwin, he's 598 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 6: going to be an All Pro again this year. Tuley 599 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 6: is going to be a Pro Bowler maybe our friend 600 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 6: Tuley twy p below to usc product thirteen sacks, seventy 601 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 6: two pressures, twenty seven run stops for no gain or 602 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 6: a loss. He's going to make the Pro Bowl. They're 603 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 6: a good eleven win team. It's not always pretty. I 604 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 6: think the term you like you. 605 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,239 Speaker 3: Kind of a wooden roller coaster ride batt They've been 606 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 3: bunked around. 607 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 6: A little bit on their n it's a little shaky. 608 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 6: You wonder if it's going to pop off the track. 609 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 6: Sixteen thirteen over the over the Chief, twenty two to 610 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 6: nineteen in overtime over the Eagles, but a double up 611 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 6: thirty four to seventeen over the Cowboys give them a 612 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 6: little bit of confidence going into this contest on Saturday 613 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 6: against the Houston Texans and again to wrap. Most importantly, 614 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,280 Speaker 6: we do have a key to the city of Hammon 615 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 6: and the headline rings Hammond emerges as major contender and 616 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 6: bears widening stadium search. I don't know if they'd want 617 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 6: us to grab a golden shovel, move a little bit 618 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 6: of loose dirt. 619 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 3: Well, I'd like to get the key up on the wall. 620 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, the very least. 621 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 3: And I'd like to think that we deserve some West 622 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:36,959 Speaker 3: Covina love. 623 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 6: I would hope so to the point where we should 624 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 6: almost ask Miss January to send us back there and 625 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 6: extend an invite to Tony Wu again to see whether 626 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 6: or not he wants to come with some hardware. 627 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 3: I think we deserve it. 628 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 5: I do too. 629 00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 3: Well.

Saturday Am, I hit the waves for 663 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 6: a couple hours before we took off and was running late, 664 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 6: and I would like to share a public service announcement. 665 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 6: Turns out there's a curb where the four oh five, 666 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 6: where the merge from the twenty two to the four 667 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 6: h five north is And if you decide to try 668 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 6: to hammer the gas and overtake a semi in a 669 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 6: pretty asinine maneuver, be sure to pay attention to their curb. 670 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 6: Thank god I didn't. I probably had about three inches 671 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 6: to spare. I think if I had blown up the curb, 672 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 6: I'm not like, I don't think I'm here today like 673 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 6: it was, it would have been really bad.
