00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: one o'clock hours, time for five three.

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: Four time now yell four decades? Five questions? Well, actually three,

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: but five sounds like more than four. What the question

16
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: number one?

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 4: Oh, it's now time to take an in depth look

18
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 4: at the welfare of the Wolves.

19
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: The Wolves entered the fourth quarter down ninety three eighty

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: nine to San Antonio, but went on a twenty five

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: to seven run to beat the Spurs one to twenty

22
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: five one twelve. Last night at Target Center, Anthony Edwards

23
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: scored thirty two points set the franchise record for most

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: thirty point games. Julius randall all around good effort. He

25
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: finished at twenty two point six boards and twelve assists.

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: Comin what sticks out to you from last night's win

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: over the Spurs.

28
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Well, they turned the tables.

29
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: It's two of their three previous games they had leads

30
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 3: and lost them. There was that eight point lead with

31
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: fifty seconds to go, Julius ran it was trash talking.

32
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: Was it the Suns? I think yeah? And we lost

33
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: and then we lost another.

34
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: One where we were was that who I don't remember

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: who it was now, but same thing where we had

36
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: a lead, we had a three and a half minutes

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: to go with like a ten point lead.

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: We blew that game. You mentioned the small ball.

39
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: Thing and Edwards wasn't on the floor for a good

40
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: portion of the fourth Was that correct?

41
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Wasn't right?

42
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 3: Well?

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: I know, but just but I was gonna get to that,

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: But so was Edwards? Right?

45
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: Edwards was not which he's not small, I mean he's

46
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: a small guy. He and a tall guy. So they

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: had him off the floor in their small ball. It

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: was up for a good portion of it. And then

49
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert wasn't out on the floor at all and

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: that that seemed to work well. Now again, does that

51
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 3: work all the time?

52
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

53
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: It's you know, the matchup begins, the team you're playing,

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: where they going small?

55
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: Where they I don't know.

56
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 3: I didn't watch any I can't bring myself to watch

57
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: the team right now. But yeah, win's win. You know,

58
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: it's it's the same ole, it's there's the team. Really,

59
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 3: the issue with me with him is there's no consistency.

60
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: There's no rhyme or reason to how they play. Uh.

61
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 3: Sometimes they are a terrible team in a terrible city

62
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: with terrible fans in a terrible city. Some other times

63
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: they played pretty good, like they did yesterday they rallied

64
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: back and win a game. So it was that the

65
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 3: first game that they beat a team with a winning

66
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: record or something.

67
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm not our second time.

68
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: So I you know, I it's so early in the year,

69
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 3: and you know where we already know that they created

70
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: a Commissioner's Cup thing just to get teams to try

71
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: hard in the first you know quarter of the season.

72
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's early.

73
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: It's you know, win as many as you can and

74
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 3: just get to postseason play and see where it goes

75
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: from there. But better to win than lose, and that's

76
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: what they did, so good for them.

77
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: Question number two.

78
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: Time now for an in depth look at the state

79
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 4: of the state of hockey.

80
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: The state of hockey, state of hockey. Still the wild

81
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: Game three or four points. This weekend, they beat the

82
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: Colorado Avalanche three two in a shootout ride aid. Then

83
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: they fell to the Buffalo Sabers three to two in

84
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: a shootout on Saturday night that snapped their seven game

85
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: winning streak. Common your thoughts on the wilds weekend.

86
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: ABS game. ABS are the best team in hockey right record.

87
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: I have one loss in regulation, so we're like a

88
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: quarter of the way through the season. So past a

89
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: quarter you have to put on twenty five games. They've

90
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: lost one regulation.

91
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: You have to put on your big boy breezers against

92
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,559
Speaker 3: a team like that, and they did. They win the game,

93
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: and it's it goes to show me that a National

94
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: Hockey League season is not it's.

95
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: A what tennemy, It's a marathon, not a spread that

96
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: is correct.

97
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: And so because I add Ratt wrote them off early,

98
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: I said, well, you know, and I was gonna gonna

99
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: I was going to.

100
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: Give them a semi pass.

101
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 3: You know, I know that we'd all been waiting for

102
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 3: the breezers a suitor contracts to it to to to

103
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: to expire.

104
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: You know that that that you.

105
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 3: Know that they would be we would have to be

106
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: paying those guys money anymore, right, And uh what I

107
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: I I buy the the the the idea that, well,

108
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 3: we wanted to spend money, but all the all the

109
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: pending free agents that you'd really want to sink your

110
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 3: teeth and do and spend money on, we're all re

111
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: signed for the most part by the teams they were

112
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 3: already playing with. So then you just spend money to

113
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 3: spend money. Do you ought to get a Fries? Do

114
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 3: you go out and get a a Ryan?

115
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

116
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: It's like you say to yourself, well, maybe we don't.

117
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 3: And so I thought, well, this would just be. But

118
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, once the calendar flipped to November,

119
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: is it ten to one and one or eleven one

120
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 3: and one?

121
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: What something like?

122
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's remarkable And they're getting contributions from

123
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: AHA players.

124
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: Did I see his caprice a third leading score? I

125
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: believe that is close to correct, if not exactly correct.

126
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: I think he's third leading score.

127
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: We've already talked in depth about how good the goaltending

128
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 3: has been and how the wall in Saint Paul, maybe

129
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: even because of his just terrific play, astonishing play really

130
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,559
Speaker 3: to be honest, since he's gotten some more regular playing time,

131
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: maybe maybe even inspired Gus Buss a little bit, because

132
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 3: Gus Bus is playing really well in the So yeah,

133
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: if you have two really good goals, and I don't

134
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: know how long the hot goals any lasts, maybe all

135
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: year if it does, if they continue to play like this,

136
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: they'll be in the mix. Elf yet to have one,

137
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: so they'll be in the mix.

138
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: Every time I watch Wall set, I'm like, this guy's

139
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: an absolute study. Yeah, and I think he gives the

140
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: team confidence Iree.

141
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean it's it's it's do you like parades?

142
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 1: That's the question I'm asking. And I right now looks

143
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: like we're we're we're.

144
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 3: King of the Hill, a number one, top of the list,

145
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 3: starts spreading the news.

146
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, I like what I've seen. Well, but I've

147
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: read I I haven't seen anymore.

148
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 2: And I said from the get and I'll say it again.

149
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: If you're looking for a because it's the Cup in

150
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 2: Minnesota this year. The way it was going to have

151
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: to work is this team had to be in contention

152
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: come trade deadline, and then you're gonna have to go

153
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: elsewhere trade deadline time to really boost your team. And

154
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: now the month of November they've put themselves at least

155
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: in that spot. They still got to sustain that here

156
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,119
Speaker 2: for a couple more months, and as long as Caprice off,

157
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: Boldy and Eric's and next stay healthy, which is always

158
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: a big if in this town, Caprize because they've had

159
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: lots of injuries, but their big guys haven't been hurt,

160
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: and that's why they've been able to weather the storm

161
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: of all the other injuries they've got. Any of euro

162
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: obs now out ROSSI still abed dully. He started to

163
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: skate again today. But as long as those three stay healthy,

164
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: they're going to be in contention. And obviously I guess

165
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: I gotta throw a ball set in that mix at

166
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:53,400

173
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: kind of force his way out because he's miserable.

174
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:15,080

Speaker 1: Brackets yeah, I what a dumb idea. That was terrible idea.

00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 3: And know some people actually took it seriously. And I

197
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: heard there were people they must work for dominion voting systems.

198
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: They were stuff in the ballot box.

00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: got to stop somewhere and buy gift and then I

222
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,040

223
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,400

226
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: the listeners of the Common Man Program have a reputation

227
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: of really really being a giving group, and so we

228
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: certainly liked it during the grum have you come on buy?

229
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 3: And what's that thing with the being he had is

230
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 3: at the first fifty for each show? Is that what

231
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 3: I don't want to give away too many hats.

232
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: From unready able to look at the vibe. I thought

233
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: it was like the first show, first fifty donors each show. Yeah,

234
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: so you get a you get a cool and they're

235
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: nice hats. I have one, so you'll and uh, Vikings

236
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 2: linebacker Blake Cashman will join us at one pm.

237
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: Oh good, I can give him the same routine where

238
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: I do you know, look, I've played the game before,

239
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: and he's probably gona ask me if you ever played quarterback?

240
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: We could use no, he wouldn't say that. He would

241
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: never say anything.

242
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: All I remember with Blake Cashman was we interviewed him

243
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: a year ago when he had just signed with as

244
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: a free agent at Bikings training camp, and then.

245
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson immediately just.

246
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 2: Crashed the entire interview and we just basically went straight

247
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: to Jessee Jeffers.

248
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: That is igna Cashman.

249
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 3: I tried to save a story now and wants me

250
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 3: I'm already subscribed. Technology sometimes gets to meet Tennabee. I

251
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: am Minnesota Golden gold for football team closed out the

252
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 3: regular season, had one more game. If you remember that team, Tennabe,

253
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 3: are you looking forward to another month of practices and

254
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: then traveling to Detroit to play in a Tuesday after

255
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: new football game in that quarter full stadium. I guarantee

256
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 3: you that if you asked each kid on the team

257
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: and said I'm sworn to secrecy, I promise I won't

258
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 3: tell anybody what's your interest level in playing that ball game?

259
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: And I would bet ninety eight.

260
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 3: Percent would say, I just wish the season were over now.

261
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: It's been a long season, a hard season, and disappointing season,

262
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 3: particularly on the road.

263
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's disappointing.

264
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 3: And then you got to go and then, let's face it,

265
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 3: you are playing in an exhibition game. These games were

266
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 3: created to sell TV space.

267
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: That's all.

268
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: That's the only reason they're there, Folks that there's no

269
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 3: other reason to have a minor key car care ball.

270
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 3: There's no reason at all or any of the ball games.

271
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 3: There's a handful your old standbys, your your Rose Bulls,

272
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 3: your Orange bulls, your Cotton bulls is, your Gator Bulls

273
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: is and you're a national championship and now that we

274
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 3: have a playoff.

275
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: To me, that's plenty. But who am I to say?

276
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: Maybe there are a lot of kids that still enjoy it.

277
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: The problem is football practice isn't fun. Well, that's it.

278
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: Like other sports, you can have fun practices.

279
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: Chips Goggins a steam column of Fish Rap Factory West Side.

280
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: We text and talk more than most people know. We're

281
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 3: both from living Woodbury. His headline, the headline d is

282
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 3: column reads Drake Lindsay's strong season as starting quarterback gives

283
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 3: go for something to build around for twenty twenty six.

284
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 3: That little sub headline or whatever they call it. I

285
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 3: don't know what they call it. In the newspaper Industry

286
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 3: says his first regular season concluded with a Trophy Game victory,

287
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 3: another game where he showed the traits that gave the

288
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: Gophers confidence to start a red shirt freshman.

289
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: To begin with. He did have a nice season.

290
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: His two hundred and eighteen completions ranked number five in

291
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: program history for a single season. Is three hundred and

292
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: sixty one pass attempts ranked tenth. He threw sixteen tutties

293
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 3: and only six ins indies in twelve starts.

294
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: This is Chip I'm reading from his piece.

295
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: He mostly made smart decisions and took care of of

296
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 3: the football.

297
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: That's impressive.

298
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: Impressive for a young quarterback facing Big Ten competition for

299
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: the first time. Lindsay will get better with time and experience,

300
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 3: and the Govers need to improve around him to become

301
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: more of a complete offense. Their running game ranks last

302
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: in the Big Ten and one twenty eighth nationally.

303
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: In it is a problem. We see that with the Vikings.

304
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: They can't run the ball.

305
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 3: Either, especially on short yard situations and the coach feels

306
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: like he has to throw he we're talking about O'Connell

307
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 3: and we're switching here just for a second. He admitted

308
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 3: a couple of times during the news conference, and they're

309
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: just concluding in his conference that he wishes he could

310
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: take that play back on when they decided to go.

311
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: Four on fourth and one, he called a little roll out.

312
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: More on that later. I want to dive into that.

313
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: I'll even argue with the coach even even he says,

314
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: I don't know why that was considered such a bad decision,

315
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: but maybe somebody can convince me as to why it was.

316
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: Here's the one, you now, the reason we have exceptional

317
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: quarterback play, A lot of it has through with Max Brozmer, Right.

318
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: I mean, we finally have a a a coach. As

319
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: you know, we mentioned this earlier in the show or forever.

320
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: PGA just like to run the ball, run it forty times,

321
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: limit the other team's offensive possessions. If you can grind

322
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: out first three and a half yards and a cloud

323
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: at us and if the defense play pretty solid, and

324
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 3: you can win some low scoring games. And now they've

325
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 3: decided they wanted to pass the ball more, and they

326
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 3: started with Brozemer, who even Kelly Kelly the Greek kid,

327
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: as Rosen called him. I think he actually kind of

328
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: maybe started it, jump started it because he could throw

329
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: the ball a little bit. And then Rosemer had a

330
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: great year and Lindsay was pretty good too. And there's

331
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: a quote in Ship's column from former Gopher quarterback Tanner Morgan.

332
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: It was in a conversation Chip had with him back

333
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: in September. It says, if he stays healthy, meaning Drake Lindsay,

334
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 3: he will leave with the all time wins, all time

335
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 3: passing records. It will be number five Drake Lindsay throughout

336
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 3: the record book because of.

337
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: What he's doing.

338
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 3: I would amend that quote by saying, if he stays

339
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 3: healthy and doesn't leave in the transfer portal, he'll leave

340
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: with the all time wins and all time passing records.

341
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: And that is kind of the issue, right.

342
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 3: I have no indication that he's going to and I

343
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 3: don't know how easy it is to get into the

344
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 3: transfer portal.

345
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's much at all, and he might

346
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: not have any desires.

347
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: To do that at all. I mean, I would assume

348
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 3: he likes it here after one year, But if let's

349
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 3: say he's really good next year, and the team has

350
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 3: trouble running the ball again defensively, you know, they give

351
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: up fifteen hundred yards over three game stretch. Does he

352
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: look around and go, I don't like this, you know,

353
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: like Ben Leeber once said, a bar you know, when

354
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 3: to listen to the common man program, he said, I.

355
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 1: Don't like this.

356
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 3: So that, to me is the bigger question is will

357
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: the Gophers Will they put better? You know, because Chip

358
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: talks about here having better offensive lineman quality, you know,

359
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: upgrading pretty much everything around him. Are they going to

360
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 3: be able to do that? He does leave in the

361
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 3: transfer portal, he go and and and with the with

362
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: the way the rules are set up. We saw the

363
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: lane kiffy thing. I want to talk about that, the

364
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 3: other side of the break, with the way coaches leave

365
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 3: and every these you have a very short collegiate career,

366
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: unless you Parker Fox, then he plays six, seven, eight years.

367
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 3: But otherwise you're out right. And so you've got a

368
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: short window. And if you have a chance to succeed elsewhere,

369
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 3: if all of a sudden, the other with.

370
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: The nil money, yeah, the nil nil money. Do we

371
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 2: know Korey Parts is gonna stay? Did he go, oh,

372
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: let's go somewhere else forget to chance, win a ship

373
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: and get more money.

374
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: So we'll talk a little bit about that on the

375
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 3: side of the break. Don't forget no rose. And today

376
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: he'll join us. Will he be coming out for toys

377
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 3: for TOSK.

391
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: Reading from the.

392
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: Golphers game or analysis piece, Fisher REMP. West Side says

393
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 3: for Gopher's coach PJ. Fleck, the victory is special in

394
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: many ways. First it came on his forty fifth birthday.

395
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 3: We all have birthdays. But it also secured a sixth

396
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: winning season in his nine years in Dinky Town, and

397
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: at seven and five overall and five and four in

398
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 3: the Big Ten, the Golphers bolstered their case to upgrade

399
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 3: their bull destination. Flex said, this is a really good

400
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: football team that's earned the right to play in a really.

401
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: Good ball bowl game. Whatever that looks like.

402
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 3: Is he delusional or I guess it all depends upon

403
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 3: your definition of what a really good football team looks like.

404
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 3: Remember he said that to the team after they got

405
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 3: killed by Ohio State. He told the team, you're a

406
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 3: really good football team. It's a really good program. We're

407
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 3: just in overheads there. Then they got beat I mean

408
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 3: just humiliated and annihilated by Iowa. And he said, we're

409
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: a really good football team in a really good program.

410
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 3: And he says that over and if you just keep

411
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 3: saying it enough, I guess either you really do believe it,

412
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: or you're just trying to make the team believe it,

413
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 3: the boosters believe it, or maybe more importantly, the people

414
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 3: that sign your paycheck to believe it. You can get

415
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 3: another maybe if he gets a bowl game somewhere rather

416
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: than December twenty sixth. Maybe he'll get another extension. I

417
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 3: don't know, And I like PJ. I do, and I

418
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 3: like O'Connell.

419
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 4: You know.

420
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 3: I just people think I don't like these guys, has

421
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: nothing to would like or dislike.

422
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: Both of fine, upstanding young men.

423
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: As far as I know, family guys, got kid, you know.

424
00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: The whole thing.

425
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: That's great, work hard at what they do, and I

426
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 3: think they both good football coaches. But like in flex case,

427
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: I think sometimes it's like you just keep saying this

428
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: over and it's it's all right.

429
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know if i'd call it a really

430
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: good football team.

431
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 3: I mean, they're they're six and oh at home, five

432
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 3: and oh or zero to five on the road, can't

433
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 3: win a road game, got crushed by three ranked teams.

434
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 3: And I know that with nil and helmet schools and

435
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 3: everything else that's involved, it's it's always going to be

436
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 3: difficult for the University of Minnesota to go toe to

437
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: toe with those teams and even win. But I mean,

438
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: at least don't give up five hundred and one of

439
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: those five hundred yard games. Wasn't even one of those

440
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 3: that was who it was Michigan State was wedged in between.

441
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: It's like, and you know, I know.

442
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: So, okay, they give up seven points and the defense

443
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 3: played better.

444
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but it was a snowball. Yeah, you know

445
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: it was. If you're not exactly ideal condition.

446
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: Especially for the offense, defenses should play better. I watched

447
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 3: the game. I really did, you know. I know you're thinking,

448
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 3: I socks and paint uhh, asphalt, But nobody.

449
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: Could get their footing.

450
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 4: You know.

451
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: It's one of those where you run to your left

452
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: and you got to kind of yeah, and then you

453
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: gotta go at that. So again, there wasn't much offense

454
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: for either team, So defenses, we're going to look good.

455
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 1: I will say this, Tennaby.

456
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 3: I'm hearing that it's possible this team might have a

457
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: Bowl game in Phoenix. And I've always liked DJ and

458
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 3: the club, and I really think they're on to something

459
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 3: here and they're moving.

460
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: In the right direction.

461
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: And that's a big bulgame. It's a really good team

462
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 3: and a really good program. And I don't know if

463
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 3: you have any time available, you know, I mean, I

464
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: don't even think what count of gains vacation time.

465
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: But I'd be willing.

466
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 2: I mean, for a game of this magnitude. As important

467
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: as this game is, we should be there well.

468
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 3: And it's so important I'm and the program means so

469
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 3: much to me that I would also be willing to

470
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 3: use some of my vacation time to go there.

471
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: I would donate that.

472
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: How about you, and we'll go down and you'll get

473
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 3: there a couple days ahead of time.

474
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: You can ring the tape recorder and.

475
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 3: Do some pre show interviews while I play over at

476
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 3: play over at you name it Scottsdale GPC, Scottsdale anyway,

477
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 3: news Broke.

478
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,479
Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday. I don't know when it was.

479
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin, son of I think Monte Kiffin has gone

480
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: to the great beyond. Monte Kiffin was a long time

481
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 3: NFL coach. I don't know if he ever was a

482
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: head coach. I know he coached here. Is like an

483
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: offensive or defensive coordinator for a long time. I think

484
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 3: it was defensive. Maybe Lane is his son. He's been

485
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 3: town of town, up and down the dial. He's with

486
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 3: Ole miss. I lost track of him, not that I've

487
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: ever been paying that close attention. And when when Deuce

488
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 3: and I are clicking around watching games, the guys, I

489
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: watched more college football than I ever had because maybe

490
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 3: brother Peter goes to the and I watched that game

491
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 3: this weekend, uh and Deuce went to go Big Red,

492
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 3: So we I watched a lot of college football. And

493
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 3: when we'll kick on Old Miss, I kind of look

494
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: I like the colors. I didn't know Lane Kiff. It

495
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: was a coach I didn't pay closer attention. And I

496
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 3: like this Old Miss club because I think Old Miss

497
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: has kind of been a downtrodden program for a number

498
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: of years. They're like eleven and one right now, they're

499
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 3: going to more than likely be invited into the twelve

500
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 3: team tournament. Lane Kiffin will not be there. He accepted

501
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 3: the job at LSU, and apparently if I read it right,

502
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 3: maybe somebody can correct me if I read it wrong.

503
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: He said I'll stay, and coach in Ole Miss said,

504
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: don't let the door hit you on the way back. Basically, sure,

505
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 3: I think they were BIG's. I would say, too, yeah, yeah, yeah,

506
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: you can.

507
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: But the rules are the rules, and you are allowed

508
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: to leave.

509
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 3: And you know, if if you're the athletic director of

510
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 3: that team or you're on you're the dean or whoever

511
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 3: makes those decisions, about allowing him to either stay or go.

512
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: You could be the bigger man or woman and just

513
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 3: say we're bitter you're leaving, but we think it's in

514
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: the best interest of old football to maybe win a

515
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: national championship if you're here, rather than just turn it

516
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: over to offensive coordinator. So I don't know if I

517
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if I would say that now, you

518
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 3: might get a lot of pushback from I saw a

519
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 3: video of him getting out of a black suv and

520
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: get onto a private plane and there were fans flipping

521
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 3: them off as he was getting out.

522
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: Service fans bitter.

523
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think if I, and maybe this is

524
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: easy for me to say because I'm not involved, but

525
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 3: if I'm the ad, say yeah, we'd like you to

526
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 3: coach the team the rest of the way. We're not

527
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 3: happy or leaving, but we understand the way the game goes,

528
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 3: You're gonna people are gonna go Ole miss is not

529
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: a destination for a lot of people.

530
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: We were lucky to have you for all these years.

531
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: You built up our program.

532
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: Again, we'd like to see you play this out and

533
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 3: win us a national championship. That's what I would have done.

534
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: But again, we get all too serious about a football

535
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 3: even though they do an LSU, the coaches fired, the

536
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 3: governor says, I'm not letting the athletic director hire them.

537
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: Say is that wor have I got the right school?

538
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 3: Or is that somewhere else? It's like, how ridiculous is

539
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 3: all that? It's just football? But they have nothing else

540
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 3: going form in Louisiana. Louisiana, I don't think. You know,

541
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: they got Marty Gras. I guess is the one they

542
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 3: got was that was that one.

543
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: Week a year.

544
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 3: They get Marty Gras we're happy for and they got

545
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: Lake Pontetree, and otherwise they have nothing going for them

546
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 3: down there.

547
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: I don't think.

548
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 3: And so and if I'm laying Kivivian, I you know,

549
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 3: here's the thing. I guess it's hard to turn down.

550
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: LSU.

551
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 3: It's they've the last four coaches they've had. I read again,

552
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: you know you can double check my my.

553
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: Uh see how accurate I am?

554
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 3: Three of their last four coaches have won national championships

555
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 3: at LSU ls they take their football seriously. And I'm

556
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: I'm assuming they've got boatloads of money. They got nil money,

557
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: they got booster money, they've got their stadium, like I

558
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 3: read a comparison between what they got going at Old.

559
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: Miss and what they're going at LSU.

560
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 3: It's like the difference of what they have over at

561
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 3: TCO Performance Center and what they have at your average

562
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 3: high school in Minnesota. Really it's that big of a difference.

563
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 3: It's just astonishing the facility, how much bigger the stadium is.

564
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 3: The boosters of blah blah blah blah blah. But isn't there.

565
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: Something about building up Old Miss? Now he's been there

566
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: a while, so.

567
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 3: Maybe he's just bored with it, but he builds him.

568
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 3: I think I also read Ole Miss there was a

569
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 3: time that they were a dominant school.

570
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: It was nineteen fifty three to nineteen fifty six.

571
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: That's how long ago it's been since Ole Miss was

572
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 3: a football powerhouse. And so you've done something that hasn't

573
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 3: been done in seventy years or however lost seventy five years, whatever,

574
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 3: And you're willing to lead because it's easier to win

575
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 3: at Alison, and maybe you want it easier.

576
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: Maybe you want these you make more money, and you

577
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: make more money. I get that.

578
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: Hasn't a Lane made it that I was going to

579
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 2: bring up. But at some point, like you've made enough

580
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: like to move for it's a raise. I get it,

581
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: like thirteen million a years more than ninety a year,

582
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: and that's nice. But at what point are you just

583
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: like yeah, I just think it's hard, especially as football coach.

584
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: I Gause football. They have the most cliched coaches of

585
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 2: them all right, because you know before every game, guys.

586
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: Look at the guy next to you. You got to

587
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: play for him, you got to sacrifice for him. And

588
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: then the second you get a chance to leave on

589
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: your own up, I'm gone.

590
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 4: Like that.

591
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: Your word means nothing.

592
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's trickled out of the players now because

593
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 3: of Neil they can leave too. And I don't blame

594
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: them either. You know, we talked about it with them.

595
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 3: With with Drake Lindsey, the possibility, I don't think he's

596
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: going to do this. I'm just throwing out, you know, possibilities,

597
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 3: examples and feeling wants to go on the pro level,

598
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 3: he wants to go play one. He wants to be

599
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 3: involved in an offense in what he is now declared

600
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: apparently his final year in pro football. And so people

601
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 3: leave all the time to go to green or pastors,

602
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: whether it's for for myriad reasons.

603
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: Some do it strictly for the money.

604
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: Some do it for they don't like the organization they

605
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 3: play with, or their organizations are losing organization. They want

606
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: to play for a winner, and it's it's you know,

607
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: everybody's got to do what they have to do.

608
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: But I was a feelings case. He's done after this year.

609
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: He admitted he's going to retire. He just doesn't want

610
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 2: to go out like this. Yes, right where you're just

611
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: riding the bench right up, playing out the string. You're

612
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: you're barely even see the field, barely see the ball

613
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 2: come your way.

614
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah you're not. I have no chance of winning. So if.

615
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 3: If I'd love to see ole Miss with the I

616
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 3: think the offense it was either offensive or d I

617
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 3: think was offensive coordinator took over as interim coach. I'd

618
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 3: love to see Ole Miss and then they become my team now,

619
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: I'd love to see them make a push other than

620
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: I guess the I got to pull for thee because Pete,

621
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: did you watch any of the game. Michigan had a

622
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: six o lead, and it looked like Ohio State was

623
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: in a shell early again like they were the year before.

624
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: Last year.

625
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: If you remember at the game. Uh is it Jason Day. No,

626
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: that's the golfer Ryan Day. Because his name, Why didn't

627
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: you just run the ball forty times? I think he

628
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: was afraid to throw the football and kind of started

629
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 3: that way. Michigan had a six zip o lead and

630
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: then they let the I'm not just saying I'm just

631
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 3: saying kid, I don't know his first name is, last

632
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 3: name is saying pieces. They have all sorts of you know,

633
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 3: play on words that people use insurant in Ohio State

634
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 3: for him. He's a Heisman candidate apparently, and he was

635
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 3: good and they're just too good that that team is.

636
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: I will I will tell you right now. I'm rubing

637
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 3: it up on Saturday. Number one Ohio State, Number two Indiana.

638
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 3: If you I don't know if you if you think

639
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: Signetty can coach, but google them.

640
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: You'll find out.

641
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: Two undefeated teams playing for the Big Ten championship in

642
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 3: an automatic bid that now they're both going no matter

643
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: what right, they're both getting an invite. I mean, if

644
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: number one Ohio States lose Indiana, I don't think the

645
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: bull selection people are gonna go. I guess you can't

646
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 3: get invited to the top twelve tournament. You just lost

647
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 3: your last game to Indiana and vice versa. Those two

648
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 3: teams are so that pressure is gone of you know,

649
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 3: if you lose, you're not going to get.

650
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: Invited to the tournament. Should be a great game. If

651
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't for.

652
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 3: Pete going to THEE and me and you know it

653
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 3: spells my name at M, dad is at M, I'd

654
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 3: be rooting for Indiana because I rooted.

655
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, okay, am I supposed to root for

656
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: Ohio State because your son goes there.

657
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: When we go to Phoenix and I line up that

658
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 3: tea time, you might just have to pay your grade.

659
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 1: I can afford my own golf faults. Yeah there, that's so.

660
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. But Lane's gone apparently, so then that's okay. I

661
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 3: I don't care enough, but it does. It just makes

662
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 3: But I really would did I did my argument sway

663
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: you at all? About if you're the in charge of

664
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 3: the old Miss decisions, you just call we get how

665
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 3: it goes. We'd like you to see this thing through.

666
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 3: Then yeah, we'll let you stay because we think it

667
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 3: gives Ole Miss the best opportunity.

668
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: No, I don't think your players are going to play

669
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: for him at that point, Like like I just mentioned, right, like,

670
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: you're not going to give the motivational speech to your

671
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: players about you change your teammates being loyal and we

672
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: might you might be able to help. You know, you

673
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: can outplay call the other coach. I guess, but well

674
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 2: you well, you use a different motivational You bring an

675
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 2: interim coach that goes, oh this guy, this guy wanted

676
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 2: to leave you guys, huh, show him what he's missing.

677
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you could do that.

678
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd have brought him back. I would have brought

679
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 3: him back.

680
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: I know, But I know I believe in loyalty. Yeah. Well,

681
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: but there is no such thing anymore in sports. There

682
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: just isn't. There's no such thing as loyalty. So so

683
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: then you would have to disappointing in college, I thought that, right,

684
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: But money's money.

685
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 3: If a station across town offered a double your salary,

686
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: you're going to be loyal to the command financially.

687
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: I'm not in the same stratosphres like Kipps. It's a

688
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: little different, but you're still a good spots. You're not

689
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: living checkay. I understand kids leaving for for nil money

690
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: because you never know when that money's going to dry

691
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: up for you, you got to get wall of getting's good.

692
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 2: Whereas Lane, he's already made generational money, he was currently

693
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 2: making generational money.

694
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: He probably would gotten another huge contract. But you just

695
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: said you could buy your own golf ball. So you've

696
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: got money, You're okay, you don't need.

697
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: There's a little bit different level of money between Lane

698
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 2: Keff and what I'm making.

699
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 3: I don't think if you left it you wouldn't be lord.

700
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 3: Would you play out the rest of the year. Would

701
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 3: you go through the end of December so we can

702
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 3: finish on.

703
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: I have an option at another place.

704
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 3: No, but see, I you know it's funny. It's pants

705
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 3: about whose ox is being bored?

706
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: So how it sounds like it is with you.

707
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 3: It's like, see, if the shoe is on your foot,

708
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 3: it doesn't seem to fit quite as right.

709
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: But that's another story in itself. The shoe's never been

710
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: on my footless problem. That's true too. So I saw this.

711
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: I don't know where I found this tennapee.

712
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 3: But let me read some statistics to you, and you're

713
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 3: probably aware of these already.

714
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: Give me a second. I gotta go down to me

715
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: here it is the wall in Saint Paul.

716
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's unless these are these might be a game

717
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 3: old now, he may have played another game.

718
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: So gus played last game. He played against Colorado on Friday.

719
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: So these are up to date.

720
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 3: He improves to seven h to two on the season,

721
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 3: including six oh to oh in his last six starts.

722
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 3: His thirty nine saves against the lanch And do you

723
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: say avs are lanch? I like both, Yeah, well, let's

724
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 3: go lanch okay his And I'd like to ask Rosen

725
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 3: does he pronounce it lanch or lache. His thirty four

726
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 3: saves against the Lanch marked the second highest total.

727
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: Of his career.

728
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: He had forty two middle of the month, middle last month,

729
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 3: just past the middle month against Carolina. He now leads

730
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 3: the NHL in save percentage at nine thirty eight GAA

731
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 3: that's goals against average correctrect one point nine to three.

732
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 3: And he also leads a league in shutouts with three.

733
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 3: That's a goaltender man, he's yeah, and it's it's nice

734
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 3: that he's in the.

735
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: Wheat and Green. No, what sure depends on what It

736
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: depends on what uniform they're wearing.

737
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 3: Uniform, but those are some and those are eye popping numbers.

738
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: Well, and like you get into a shootout and I'm

739
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 2: like convinced they win every time he's in the shootout,

740
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 2: like just no one can, no one can get one

741
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 2: by him.

742
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: Right.

743
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 3: The one thing is ah, and this is this isn't

744
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 3: meant to be a negative.

745
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard to keep that well.

746
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 3: Sure you know it's like my guess is there's gonna

747
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 3: be a game where he's not as sharp and maybe

748
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 3: doesn't get as much help and a little puck unluck

749
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 3: and he loses five to two.

750
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: I hope people don't go, well, we got it.

751
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 3: I knew that wouldn't last because it's gonna happen when

752
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 3: you're playing.

753
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just gonna happen, folks.

754
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 3: But but when you know you got a guy that's

755
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 3: got that those abilities and has that potential, it sure

756
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 3: makes it easier to if you want to turn on

757
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 3: the TV or go to the hockey rink.

758
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: That man you go in to a playoff series of

759
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: this kind of goaltending, well, I tell you that.

760
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: That's exactly what you want to see.

761
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 3: One more hour ago, will take a short break, come
