And I don't know, I mean, 31 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 4: I guess we're expecting the Huskies to be ranked in 32 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 4: the top twenty five. How surprised would you be if 33 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 4: they were not in the top twenty five tonight? 34 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 6: Well, first of all, keep me posted because I have 35 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 6: YouTube TV. 36 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 5: So I got no idea. 37 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 4: That'll text you my I'll text you my Fubo password. 38 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: How's that? 39 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 5: Okay? 40 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 6: I would think Washington would be. I'm gonna say. 41 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 5: They got to be behind Michigan. That's the issue. Michigan 42 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 5: always gotta be behind USC. 43 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 6: I would probably guess Huskies twenty three, twenty two. 44 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 5: Twenty three right in there. 45 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 7: That's kind of where we are too, So we'll see, 46 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 7: you know, kind of big picture on the on the Dogs. 47 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 7: I was taking a look at you know, projected we're 48 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 7: gonna have a sixteen team playoff eventually, right not this year, 49 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 7: but very very soon, John, the Huskies would have made 50 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 7: five of the last eight sixteen team playoffs. What is 51 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 7: a reasonable expectation for the Huskies to have when that 52 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 7: goes to sixteen? 53 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 8: Like? 54 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 7: How often should we be expecting to make that sixteen 55 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 7: team playoff? 56 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 6: Oh, that's a great question, and it gets into so 57 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 6: much too, because you have to account for you know, 58 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 6: rev share, and you've got to account for Washington's financial 59 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 6: situation and the impact that can have on the resource 60 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 6: allocation for football. I would say two out of every 61 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 6: four years would probably be reasonable too. Out every five 62 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 6: maybe low end, but something right in there. 63 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 5: I mean Washington is. 64 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 6: I mean, if you're listing the Big Ten football programs 65 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 6: in order of you know, resource historical success recruiting, Washington 66 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 6: is I don't know, six ish, probably. 67 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 5: Right around there. That's pretty good. 68 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 6: And if it's a sixteen team playoff and the Big 69 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 6: Ten is sending at minimum four probably five I would 70 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 6: think that two at every four years is probably reasonable 71 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 6: for the Huskies. 72 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. 73 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 4: And I mean, look, we're gonna get the rankings here 74 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 4: in just a minute. But they got a chance to 75 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 4: do something big. I mean, they got three really winnable 76 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 4: games with Wisconsin, Purdue, and UCLA before they end up 77 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 4: playing the Oregon Ducks and the final game of the 78 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: regular season. So you go nine to two with a 79 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 4: chance to make that Oregon game meaningful? Is this a 80 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 4: playoff team? If they can run the table and finish 81 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 4: the season ten and two? 82 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 6: In your mind, I think that they will have a 83 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 6: great chance if they're ten and two, And the thing 84 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 6: is that they won't be in the Big Ten championship game, 85 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 6: and that probably would help them because it avoids loss 86 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 6: number three. 87 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 5: Right, So they're ten and two, and in that scenario, 88 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 5: they're probably ahead of USC Raking. 89 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 4: So would John rankings just came out there? Twenty third, 90 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 4: twenty third country? 91 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 6: Okay, there we go perfectly fair. And I think that 92 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 6: if you would ask a Washington fan on August thirtieth, hey, 93 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 6: we're going to be twenty third in the first CFP release, 94 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 6: what ninety five percent would say? 95 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 5: Okay? We'll take it, you know. So no, I don't think. 96 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 6: There's any any room for complaint in Seattle the way 97 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 6: things have gone, And certainly if they went out, they 98 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 6: would have a great chance to get in. And also, 99 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 6: you know, the cherry on top is probably put Oregon 100 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 6: on the brink and not getting in. 101 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. 102 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 4: Well, and we played a clip today from Bruce Feldman 103 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 4: Jackson was that from the Weekend? By the way, that 104 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 4: clip that you played it from a couple of days ago, 105 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 4: and I guess they're doing like a hot take thing 106 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 4: or whatever he said, Bruce Feldbman did. His prediction is 107 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 4: Oregon is not going to make the playoff, meaning they 108 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 4: lose to you dub, maybe they lose to Iowa. I mean, 109 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 4: I don't know, does it a ten and two Oregon 110 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 4: team and a ten and two Washington team, do they 111 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 4: both make it or does one kick the other out 112 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 4: depending on who wins that game in Seattle. 113 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think both would make it. And the 114 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 6: other thing is Oregon's got to play USC so they've 115 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 6: got they have the hardest schedule, and I think that 116 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 6: was probably part of I haven't talked to Bruce, but 117 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 6: my guess is part of a sinking is Oregon between Washington, 118 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 6: USC and Iowa. You know, there's maybe two losses in there, 119 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 6: certainly one and that's going to put or if Oregon 120 00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 6: finishes nine and three, they're. 121 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 5: Out right same with the Huskies, right correct? 122 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 6: If somehow they both end up ten and two, the 123 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 6: winner of the game at the end of the season 124 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 6: would have a huge eventche I mean, I would think 125 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 6: it'd be a no brainer. 126 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 5: You take the winner of that game. 127 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 7: Wow, how about the deree of difficulty for the next 128 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 7: three Husky games? I mean, each and each one in 129 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 7: a nutshell looks pretty easy, but you got to go 130 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 7: three and oh. So even if your percented chance of 131 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 7: winning is eighty percent of each one, it's tough to 132 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 7: go three and oh. Who who potentially could trip them up? 133 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 5: Well, I think the US the UCLA game. 134 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 6: Is a little bit dangerous, more dangerous than it might 135 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 6: seem given UCLA's record. It will be their final home 136 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 6: game for their seniors because because they play USC in 137 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 6: the coliseum, So you know, for like Nico and those guys, 138 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 6: I think they would probably be pretty jacked up. And 139 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 6: they have pretty good players and they've got a good quarterback, 140 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 6: So I think that will. 141 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 5: Be a dangerous game for Washington. 142 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 6: And you know this game is is a little bit 143 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 6: of a trap. I look, the weather forecast is not 144 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 6: good and Wisconsin defense is pretty decent. 145 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 5: So the big thing. 146 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 6: If Washington can get to seventeen points, probably got a 147 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 6: good chance to win, certainly twenty the way Wisconsin's offense 148 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 6: has gone lately. But if it's rare, you know, if 149 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,559 Speaker 6: it's winning and raining in Madison, that's gonna be hard. 150 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, guys, So I'm just thinking out loud here. And 151 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 4: John Wilner again is with us on the radio show. 152 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 4: Courtesy is simply Seattle. So Husky's win six and seven 153 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 4: a year ago, they're six and two now. So they're 154 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 4: twelve and nine right under Jedfish in the twenty one 155 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 4: games he's coached here. They've got six games of the 156 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 4: twenty one, two against Wazoo, one against Colorado State, one 157 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 4: against UC Davis, one against Weber and one against Eastern Michigan. 158 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 4: They're five and one in those six games, with the 159 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 4: one loss coming in the Apple Cup last year, right, 160 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 4: Dick in Seattle, So you're seven and eight in the 161 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 4: other games you've played yet here you are a year 162 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 4: and a half after Kalin de Moore blew up the 163 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 4: roster and you're. 164 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: Back in the top twenty five? 165 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 4: Is this affirmation that they did the right thing by 166 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 4: moving to the Big ten? Because if they're a Pac 167 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 4: twelve team and there's seven and eight in the other 168 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 4: fifteen games they've played, are they. 169 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: Getting this kind of recognition right now? 170 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 6: Probably they are gonna be seven and eight? Iff, I 171 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 6: mean how many what they've got a lost of Michigan 172 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 6: and a lost to. 173 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 5: Ohio State in there. 174 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 6: Yes, you know, So I would argue that if they 175 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 6: had stayed in the Pac twelve, they wouldn't be seven 176 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 6: and eight in those fifteen games. They'd be nine and 177 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 6: six or ten and five, And they don't. They wouldn't 178 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 6: have the travel, they wouldn't have the nine am kickoffs, 179 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 6: they wouldn't have the Big tens offensive and defensive lines 180 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 6: to contend with. So I'm not sure it's apples and apples, 181 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 6: but I do think that, yeah, you know, being in 182 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 6: the Big ten. Winning if you're in the Big ten 183 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 6: certainly helps you, but it's also harder to win. 184 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: But can we to softeas point? 185 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 7: Can we all agree now that it's easier to make 186 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 7: the playoffs out of the Big Ten than it would 187 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 7: have been if the PAC twelve stayed together. 188 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 6: You know, we were there, because the whole thing would 189 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 6: be different. If the PAC twelve was still intact, The 190 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 6: playoffs setup would be completely different, and the Big ten 191 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 6: and the SEC would there would be more balanced within 192 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 6: the Power five. The format would be different, and I 193 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 6: would argue Washington would have a better chance. Now are 194 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 6: you talking about PAC twelve with USC and UCLA or 195 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 6: the second version? 196 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: Second verse? The second version? 197 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 6: Well, I mean in that case, Washington and Oregon would 198 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 6: be running the league, and you know, you could argue 199 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 6: that PAC twelve would have a decent chance of getting 200 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 6: two teams in every year. 201 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 4: Right John Wanners with us and John, we talked about 202 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 4: Wisconsin coming up this weekend. I mean, what what has 203 00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 4: happened to that program? 204 00:09:59,800 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 8: May? 205 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 4: I mean again, I'm not saying that Wisconsin's on par 206 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 4: with Ohio State and Penn State and Michigan, but you know, 207 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 4: they're they're a decent program and right now they're just 208 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 4: an absolute train wreck. They have no quarterback whatsoever to 209 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 4: speak of. They've got no skill players that anybody covets 210 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 4: at the next level, at all the fans aren't going 211 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 4: to games. I saw online last week before the buye 212 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 4: tickets for the UDUB game against the Huskies are nine 213 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 4: dollars nine bucks to get in the door at Camp 214 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 4: Randall this weekend. What happened to Wisconsin football? 215 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 6: The beer is more expensive at Camp Randall than the 216 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 6: it is ticket price. 217 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: You're not exaggerating, that is a fact. 218 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 5: No, No, I'm not. I'm not so. 219 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 6: I think a couple of weeks one they have lost 220 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 6: their starting quarterback to a knee injury. 221 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 5: I think it's three years in a row. 222 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 6: But over and above that, they got away from what 223 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 6: made them really good for so many years, which was 224 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 6: the Barry Albarez system of getting NFL offensive line and 225 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 6: then NFL running back and just pounding teams in the submission. 226 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 6: And you know, I think they started to get away 227 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 6: from that a little bit under PAULK. Christ and then 228 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 6: with Luke Fickle they had they just haven't gotten it back. 229 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 6: And also their nil game is terrible, and so they 230 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 6: don't They don't have the money to pay for players 231 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 6: as part of the problem, but a lot of it 232 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 6: is getting away from a system that worked for decades 233 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 6: and that was perfect for their the players that can 234 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 6: recruit right Wisconsin, you can get three hundred pound offensive 235 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 6: linemen a lot easier than you can get dynamic receivers. 236 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 6: I mean, it's kind of like Utah with their recruiting pool, 237 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 6: and and it worked. 238 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 5: It worked for years, and then they got away from it. 239 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 7: John, since we's been talking a lot today about the 240 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 7: depth of the Big Ten, I've been meaning to ask you, 241 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 7: how close are we to that three versus six and 242 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 7: four versus five game in the conference that would determine 243 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 7: playoff berths? Is that a potential like next year thing. 244 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: That was. 245 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 5: Pretty closely but not completely tied to the automatic bids 246 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 5: for the playoff? 247 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 6: Right the Tony Petiti, the Big Ten commissioner, one of 248 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 6: the Big Ten, to have four automatic bids in the playoffs. 249 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 6: The two teams that play in the championship game would 250 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 6: both be in, and then you'd have three six, four 251 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 6: five to create you know, more interesting games and more 252 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 6: good TV, more TV dollars and TV ratings on championship weekend. 253 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 6: So if they don't if the if the automatic qualifier 254 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 6: model doesn't get adopted for the playoff, I'm not sure 255 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 6: that they're going to do it. Because then you're looking 256 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 6: at potentially eliminating both teams that are playing in the 257 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 6: three verse six if it's if it's in that large 258 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 6: situation and not an automatic bid. 259 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 4: Update on the rankings, by the way, Husky's twenty three. 260 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: The CFP rankings are coming out right now, Michigan twenty one, 261 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 4: Iowa twenty, USC nineteen. The Ducks are at number nine, 262 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 4: so obvious they were waiting on Ohio State Indiana to 263 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 4: see where they end up. But there'll be seven big 264 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 4: ten teams in the top twenty five when it's all 265 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 4: said and done. 266 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: Do you like it? 267 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 5: Where's Notre Dame? 268 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: Notre Dame? 269 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 4: God, I just had I think they're tenth if I'm 270 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 4: not mistaken, Okay, Yeah, let me time a big one. Yeah, 271 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 4: let me confirm that for you though in a minute. 272 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 4: But Oregon, Iowa, how risky a proposition is this for 273 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 4: the Ducks on Saturday in Iowa? 274 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 6: Well preview here of the Windealorean. I think it's a 275 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 6: pretty big risk. Yeah, you know, the weather is supposed 276 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 6: to be bad in Iowa City as well, and they 277 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 6: played Indiana to a very close That was the closest 278 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,119 Speaker 6: game Indiana's had by far. It was twenty to fifteen. 279 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 6: And you know, Iowa plays good defense. They actually can 280 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 6: score a little bit this year. Right, they put on 281 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 6: thirty nine against Rutgers, kind of like what you dubbedd 282 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 6: I think that's that's gonna be a tough game for 283 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 6: the Ducks. 284 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, by the way, Notre Dame is tenth, by 285 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, okay. 286 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 5: That's a big one. 287 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 6: Everybody's got to be rooting against Notre Dame because they 288 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 6: will suck up one of those seven at large berths 289 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 6: and that could be that could be the fourth Big 290 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 6: Ten bid right there. 291 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 5: That could be Washington's bid. 292 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 6: If Notre Dame gets in, it could be no Big 293 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 6: Ten four that gets bumped out. 294 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: Very easy for me to do. I've been rooting against 295 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. 296 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 7: For about a half a century, so that's very easy 297 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 7: for me to do. John rarely is the biggest game 298 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 7: of the college football weekend coming from the revamped Big twelve. 299 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: But who do you like? 300 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 7: And now number seven BYU and the new college Football 301 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 7: Ball against number eight Texas Tech. 302 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's good for the Big twelve to get a 303 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 6: little bit of a little bit of love. Right, They 304 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 6: got game day and I think it's the Big Noon game, 305 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 6: or you know, it's A or maybe it's the ABC game. 306 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 9: Good for the Big. 307 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 6: Twelve, huge game for the playoff for the Big twelve race. 308 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 6: I have been of the mindset that Texas Tech spent 309 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 6: that thirty million dollars very wisely, and their defense is 310 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 6: like would be a good SEC or Big ten defense, 311 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 6: And in the Big twelve it's a great defense. And 312 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 6: BYU is very good, and you got to give them 313 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 6: credit for being resourceful and finding ways to win. 314 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 5: But I kind of think they're going to be a 315 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 5: little bit overmatched. 316 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, well let's get to it. 317 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 8: Then. 318 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 4: By the way, they just came out with Buckeye's number one, 319 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 4: Indiana number two. No surprise there, but there were some 320 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 4: folks that maybe thought that Indiana would climb up and 321 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 4: grab that number one spot. 322 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 5: Where I assume A and M three in Alabama four. 323 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 4: Correct, Yes, those are the four teams with the buy 324 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 4: Alabama against the winner of the Memphis Georgia game, Ohio 325 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 4: state winner of the Oregon Texas Tech Game, A and 326 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 4: M winner of Virginia Ole Miss and Indiana winner of 327 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 4: Notre Dame, and BYU for now, but speaking of winners. 328 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 4: Another big one for you, Matt Ruhle getting the cover 329 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 4: against USC at home on Saturday. 330 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: You're six and four on the EU year so far. 331 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: The Windelorean is. 332 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 4: Back on the proper path, John, to get to seven 333 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 4: and four in your first eleven games. 334 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: Who do you like this week? 335 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 8: Oh? 336 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, and Nebraska covered even with losing their quarterback for 337 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 6: the second half. I will take Iowa and I think 338 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 6: am I getting six and a half? 339 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: Yes? In that yes, correct, six and a half. 340 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 5: I will take it. 341 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: Okay. 342 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 6: I think that they're you know, they're good, and it's 343 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 6: it's going to be tough in the in that weather. 344 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 6: I think for Dante Moore, we saw Oregon, you know 345 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 6: the Wisconsin game. 346 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 5: Oregon did not look very good. 347 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 6: And the weather in Iowa City is going to be 348 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 6: a lot like the weather in Eugene, and the opponent 349 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 6: is going to be much much better. 350 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 4: Well if they if Oregon loses, they got it went 351 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 4: out and that means beating USC and U dub in 352 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 4: the final three games of the regular season for them 353 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 4: before the Big Ten championship game, so they would have 354 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 4: to win out. So, I mean the picture that you're 355 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 4: kind of painting is that Oregon could be done if 356 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 4: they lose to Iowa this weekend. That could be the 357 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: first nail on the coffin for the Ducks. Man, So 358 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 4: go hot guys. But Dick brought the question up earlier. 359 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 4: Our Husky fans kind of in a backwards way rooting 360 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 4: for Oregon to win to make that game more meaningful 361 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 4: after Thanksgiving? Or does it even matter if they're ten 362 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 4: and two with a win against a top twenty Oregon team. 363 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: Does it even matter where they're ranked? Are they in 364 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: no matter what at ten and two? 365 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 4: Or should we be rooting for the Ducks to be 366 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 4: as good as possible in that game? 367 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 5: Yeah? I actually wrote about this a couple of weeks ago. 368 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 6: Washington Oregon need each other to win because they both 369 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 6: teams want the opponent to be as highly ranked as 370 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 6: possible in the season finale. So actually Washington wants Oregon 371 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 6: to be Iowa because it's if it's close, and there 372 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 6: are many scenarios in which Washington is on the border. 373 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 5: For that last spot or two. 374 00:17:54,280 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 6: The more marquee the victory over Oregon, the better for 375 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 6: Washington's resume, And there's. 376 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 4: No other way to do it, Like we can't get 377 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 4: what we need by notre dame falling off or something else. 378 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 6: It's kind of like a special spot in hell for 379 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 6: the fiz of Bot having to root for the other. 380 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 9: God. 381 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: I love it, all right, John, you're the man, great stuff. 382 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: We're talking a week nice Thanks all right. 383 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 4: John Wilner says Huskies should be rooting for ducks, and 384 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 4: ducks should be rooting for huskies. 385 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: Do we really believe that makes sense? Can we stomach that? 386 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 4: Let's talk about it next on ninety three three KJRFM. 387 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 2: This is Duke of Duke Seafood and this hour is 388 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 2: brought to you by Duke Seafood.

Ohio State number one, Indiana 398 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 4: two A and M three, Caitlin de Boorn Alabama four, Georgia, Ole, 399 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 4: miss BYU, Texas Tech, Oregon, Notre Dame, Virginia, Memphis Big ten, 400 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 4: USC nineteen, Iowa twenty, Michigan twenty one, you dubbed twenty three, 401 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 4: and the initial CFP rankings that have come out today. 402 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 4: And I don't know, man, Maybe I'm just being a 403 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 4: little bit emotional here. Maybe I'm not raising the bar 404 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 4: like I should. But I think I think two things. Okay, 405 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 4: I was talking to Jimmy Doherty today over at you 406 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 4: dub the offensive coordinator, who's got the best job in 407 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 4: the world, by the way, because if the offense stinks, 408 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 4: nobody rips him. They ripped the head coach because Jimmy 409 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 4: didn't call plays right. So it's a great gig to have. 410 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 4: He's ocan name, but Jedfish calls the plays. And I 411 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 4: told him there's only one Husky game where they've played 412 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 4: and lost where I felt good walking out of the stadium. 413 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 4: And you probably know the game I'm talking about. LSU 414 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 4: Bang two thousand and nine. Two thousand and nine, they 415 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 4: go oh to twelve, and the next year they push 416 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 4: those guys all the way to the brink and then 417 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 4: they beat USC the next week, remember that at Husky Stadium. 418 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 4: So that's the only time Jackson and Dick where I 419 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 4: felt really good about a loss because I felt like, man, 420 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 4: this is just is this gonna be different? It's going 421 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 4: to be different, right, And it was different right this 422 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 4: CFP ranking that came out today, maybe I'm being a 423 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 4: total friggin' homer, And if I am, you'll tell me. 424 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 4: I just think to go from where they were in 425 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 4: February of two thousand and twenty four, when the roster 426 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 4: got blown to bits, when Kaitlyn de Moore took off, 427 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 4: to a year and a half later being in the 428 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 4: top twenty five of the first CFP rankings that come 429 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 4: out for year two under Jetfish, I think it's an accomplishment. 430 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's real progress for this 431 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 4: football team because everything has to be looked at in context, right, 432 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 4: the context of where this roster was, where the offensive 433 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 4: line was, where the entire starting offense was, where the 434 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 4: transfer portal. I mean, dude, they had nobody, They had 435 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 4: nothing left after Kavin de Boor took off and for 436 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 4: Jetfish to a year and a half later, have these 437 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 4: guys in the first CFP rankings that come out the 438 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 4: next season, the first CFP rankings of year two. 439 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: I think it's meaningful. It's a testament to two Do 440 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: you agree with that, by the way, absolutely? Yeah, all right. 441 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 7: It's a testament to two super quality brands. The brand 442 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 7: of the University of Washington, which is top fifteen in 443 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 7: college football and has been for fifty years, and the 444 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 7: brand of the Big Ten. And you're putting those two together. 445 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 7: And I've always been probably the more optimistic of the 446 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 7: two of us than you have of what the new 447 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 7: nil and the city of Seattle means for this football program. 448 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 7: And I think it is huge because I think the 449 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 7: Huskies are uniquely set up to fly with this group 450 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 7: around them, of all these corporate sponsors, than all the 451 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 7: dollars that we have in this city. 452 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: Well, here's what I think. 453 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 4: I think that there's a huge difference though, between being 454 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 4: twenty third and being in the top five, right, gigantic, 455 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 4: and that's where's the arrow, right, But that's where we 456 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 4: all want to be in the end. So that's the 457 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 4: question for me is in this conference can they get there? 458 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 4: And this conference, can they get to kind of similar 459 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 4: where they were in the old PAC twelve, where every 460 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 4: November comes around and you can paint a picture of 461 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 4: them winning the Big Ten Championship, like that's what I want. 462 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: They're not gonna win it. 463 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 4: That's gonna be tougher than a one pack twelve because 464 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 4: there's more teams. There's eighteen teams, and I totally get 465 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 4: that there's tougher competition. 466 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: You got more elite programs. 467 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 4: I mean in the old PAC twelve you had maybe 468 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 4: three elite programs and you might have now five or six. Right, 469 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 4: and now with the arrival of Indiana, who knows what 470 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 4: they're going to be doing, right, So I think it's 471 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 4: going to be very difficult, But I still think that 472 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 4: that's the goal, right, The goal is every single November 473 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 4: to paint some kind of a picture where you can say, 474 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 4: all right, here's the path to playing in the Big 475 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 4: Ten Championship and maybe winning it and go into a 476 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 4: Rose Bull or going to the CFP or the Final 477 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 4: four or the Top twelve or sixteen or Field of 478 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 4: sixty four, whatever the hell it's going to be in 479 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 4: ten years from us. Hope not that that is still 480 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,959 Speaker 4: my goal for this football team, But I think for now, 481 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 4: for two day, and. 482 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: Maybe only for today and maybe only for this year. Right. 483 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 4: I think it's fair, in my opinion, for Usky fans 484 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 4: to sit back and look at what Jed Fish has done. 485 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 5: Yeah. 486 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 10: Absolutely, And I think one of the things too, is 487 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 10: we're learning that money has such an enormous meaning right now, 488 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 10: where if you invest in a guy like Demon Williams 489 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 10: and you have an idea of exactly how you want 490 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 10: this whole thing. I mean, Jed credit to him. He 491 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 10: came in here. I don't think it was just a 492 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 10: let's see what we can do in one year. It's 493 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 10: a we have a three plus year plan. We understand 494 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 10: the money will take, we understand the I want to 495 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 10: build relies on demand Freakin' Williams, and we can just 496 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 10: roll the I mean, he was talking up demand in 497 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 10: the first half of last season like he is always. 498 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: This has been the guy. 499 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 10: This has been his plan, and Jed's smart enough to 500 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 10: have the next plan figure it out. So if you 501 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 10: can continue to raise the money, invest in whatever plan 502 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 10: that is right now, it's the I mean, you can 503 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 10: just continue to roll and eventually one of those plans 504 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 10: will have enough other plans around it to take. 505 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: You to a championship. 506 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 4: And that's kind of the point Jackson, is that it's 507 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 4: not really just about Jedfish. Because, Dick, if what you're 508 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 4: talking about happens to be reality, that Washington can survive 509 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 4: in this thing long term, thrive, well, then they're gonna 510 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 4: need the money from the donors. They're gonna need an 511 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 4: ad with a list of coaches. If and when Jedfish 512 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 4: takes off, they're gonna need a president to give them 513 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 4: everything they need to compete in the Big Ten. So 514 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 4: like Jedfish, I mean, look, I think again, I'm kind 515 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 4: of talking out of both sides of my mouth, but 516 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 4: I think both of these things are accurate and can 517 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 4: be true. Of course, I think they're true. Otherwise I 518 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 4: wouldn't be saying them. I'd be lying on purpose to you. 519 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 4: I think Jedfish has done a marvelous job. I also 520 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 4: don't think Jetfish is long for this job at job, 521 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 4: so I think you give him credit for what he's done. 522 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 4: But at the same time, I also hope to God 523 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 4: that Pat Chunn has a list of coaches ready to go, 524 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 4: and that Robert Jones, right the new president, the guy 525 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 4: from Illinois, has a vision for what to do to 526 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 4: keep this thing relevant no matter who the head coaches 527 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 4: that that guy, whoever it is, has all the resources 528 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 4: he needs. 529 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 7: Yes, and the resources will be there. Now the decision 530 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 7: has to be correct. They got to find the right guy. 531 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 7: You can't go and grab Mark Helfrich, the second Coming 532 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 7: or the second coming of Tyrone Willingham or the second 533 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 7: coming of Willie Taggart. I mean, that can't happen. You 534 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 7: got to have the right guy when Jedfish leaves. But 535 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 7: before Jetfish leaves, I'd like to see, and I'm a 536 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 7: big Jetfish fan, I would like to see Jed Fish 537 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 7: beat a team that has more talent than he is. 538 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: Right, because that hasn't happened yet, right. 539 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 7: I would like to see him upset a team, and 540 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 7: it starts in the last game of the regular season 541 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 7: with Oregon. That is his first real opportunity to beat 542 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 7: a team that has more talented. 543 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 4: Absolutely, well, I just look at the text line because 544 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 4: we're done with text amonials, and I can look at 545 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 4: it now without the fear of. 546 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: Sure you never look at it before. It's fear of. 547 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 4: Criticism from Jackson three to six. Oh, I dig softy, 548 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 4: thank you I'm a dog, but we are irrational with 549 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 4: our expectations. So what should the expectations because my expectations 550 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 4: are again, every November comes around and guys, if you're 551 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 4: going to play in an eighteen team conference, is probably 552 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 4: going to be six or seven teams on the first 553 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 4: of November that can see a path to playing in 554 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 4: the Big Ten championship. 555 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: And I want to be one. We should be one 556 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: of that. I want to be one of that. 557 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 9: Nair. 558 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: So what should the expectations be? Smart guy? Well three six? 559 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 4: Oh like Johnson, I dig softy guy, what should your 560 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 4: expectations be? 561 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 7: John Wilner said, every other year in the playoffs? I 562 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 7: think that's a reasonable expectation once it's a sixteen team playoff, right, 563 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 7: what was what was your stat that you had in 564 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 7: the last eight years the Washington Huskies would have made 565 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 7: a sixteen team playoff. That's more than fifty percent. Are 566 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 7: you telling me we're twelve? So maybe it just to 567 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 7: four out of it? 568 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: But why would it be less in the Big Ten? 569 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 4: You're saying five out of eight? Maybe it's four out 570 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 4: of eight, which is now, wait for it, every other year. 571 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 10: We see I don't I don't think it would be 572 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 10: four out of it I think I think it's less 573 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 10: than that, but I would say you ease it your 574 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 10: question there three out of two to three? 575 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, But at the end of the day, because the. 576 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 10: Competition in the Big ten is miles above the competition 577 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 10: in the packer. 578 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: You're also getting more teams in than you would have 579 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: been if you're. 580 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,479 Speaker 10: In the package. So I think the number of sixteen 581 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 10: there is important. Like sixteen, maybe we're talking half. I 582 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 10: would I would even drop that to like one at 583 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 10: every three years, but that would be my expectation is 584 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 10: is one at every three years when. 585 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 4: It's six And it's also about the context of your schedule, right, Like, 586 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,239 Speaker 4: for example, they've gotten through the majority of what we 587 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 4: think is the goal. 588 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: They do have Oregon. 589 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 4: I know that, but these next three games, I mean, 590 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 4: anything less than nine and two heading into Oregon is 591 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 4: gonna be a major disappointment. 592 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: You're losing as a double big favor. 593 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 7: I looked at the Vegas the Vegas power rankings. The Huskies, 594 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 7: this is their closest game of the next three and 595 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 7: they're ten and a half point. 596 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 9: Fank. 597 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 4: You just said, how he's got to beat somebody with 598 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 4: better talent than them, and the opposite is losing to 599 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 4: somebody with worse. 600 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: Talent than you, which he hasn't done. 601 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 4: That's one of these next three, which is let's hope 602 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 4: that doesn't happen, because that would be really disappointing. As 603 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 4: high as we are on what's going on, that would 604 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 4: be the exact opposite. Man, we're going to break. Brian 605 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 4: Schmetzer speaking of high high on Life. You thought I 606 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 4: was gonna say something else. They did high on life 607 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 4: after they beat Minnesota. Kind of kicked their ass last night, 608 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 4: didn't they a little bit? 609 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: Jackson.

Look, we brought Musoski on. 639 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 8: I think that was the right move, and man, guys 640 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 8: were into it from the first couple of minutes. The 641 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 8: crowd was into it because you know the little you know, 642 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 8: the goalkeeper wasting time already. 643 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 9: In the first two minutes of the game. 644 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 8: And you know, Christian was a little bit of a 645 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 8: high elbow near midfield. So game got intense very fast, 646 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 8: and it was a great, great outcome for us. 647 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: So how do we carry this over? 648 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 7: I mean, obviously Minnesota's seen the tape, but go in 649 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 7: depth with us exactly what you did with your attack 650 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 7: to make it work so well in this one. 651 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,959 Speaker 8: Well, I think putting Masaski up there and playing Jordan 652 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 8: Dick it was He's not a true winger because we 653 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 8: don't want him out wide all the time. 654 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 9: I want him to be connected. 655 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 8: To Musoski, and so he's kind of on the inside 656 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 8: shoulder of the left wing back and the left center 657 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 8: back and he's got to play in that space. 658 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 9: And Jordan did an excellent job. 659 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 8: He was the one that got in behind for the 660 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 8: first corner kick whorl Bed scored. 661 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 9: And he did a lot of good things. 662 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, and having a striker in the middle like Masoski, 663 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 8: it really paid off. 664 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 4: Am I the only guy that every time I hear 665 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 4: the name Missovsky, I think of the movie Monsters Incorporated. 666 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm talking about? 667 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 9: Out? 668 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike was. 669 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 4: Every time I hear that name, I think Mike Wazowski 670 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 4: from Monsters Incorporated. But Brian Schmetzter is with us, all right. 671 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 4: So how much of last night was about strategic changes? 672 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: In your mind? Honestly, give yourself a pat of the back. 673 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 4: Maybe the coaching staff versus the guys in the field 674 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 4: kind of just figuring it the hell out. 675 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 9: I think it's a mix fifty to fifty. 676 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 8: I think they were energized when we rolled out such 677 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 8: an attacking lineup. 678 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 9: I think Jordan, you know, he likes having help up there. 679 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 8: Sometimes being a loan center forward sometimes you know, it's 680 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 8: hard work, so having a guy up there. But you're right, Softie, 681 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 8: I mean, the guys were up for it. They didn't 682 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 8: want to go home. They didn't want to lose to Minnesota, certainly. 683 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 9: Not in front of the home fans. 684 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: So do you think Minnesota adjusts to your adjustments or. 685 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 7: Do they just continue to play their lame, boring soccer 686 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 7: that got him wins a couple of times against you guys. 687 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 8: That's a really good question, Dick, because I really don't know. 688 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 9: I mean, he said in the press, Eric Ramsey's a 689 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 9: good guy, a nice guy like him. He's good coach. 690 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 9: He says, you know, we are who we are. 691 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 8: But after he took four and he allowed us to 692 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 8: get on top of him with that type of intensity, 693 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 8: he's going to have to come out a little bit more. 694 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 9: Least at least that's what I think. 695 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, so Brian schmatches with us, and Brian you may 696 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 4: have noticed that there's this kind of thing going on 697 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 4: over at you dub and really in college football, where 698 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 4: players can leave whenever the hell they want. So there's 699 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 4: always constant recruiting, right, constant recruiting of players used to 700 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 4: be back in the day. Guy's on your roster, he's 701 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 4: stuck there, he can't go anywhere. But now every single 702 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 4: year Jed Fish has to recruit high school players and 703 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 4: re recruit his own guys to stick around. How much 704 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 4: of that, honestly, are you doing with obad Vargas he scores. 705 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: Two goals for you last night? 706 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 4: Obviously there's going to be a lot of big money 707 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 4: offers coming in. 708 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: When you have a free. 709 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 4: Moment every now and then, do you kind of go 710 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 4: over and tell him how great he is and how 711 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 4: good looking he is, and how much you love and 712 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 4: appreciate having him in Seattle. How much do you feel 713 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 4: you have to almost constantly recruit this guy to stay here. 714 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 8: Well, I don't know if it's exactly the same, but 715 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 8: you're going down an interesting path because look, it's out 716 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 8: there a little bit on some MLS channels. 717 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 9: I poked a couple of guys before. 718 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 8: The game, you know, I poked some of the senior players, 719 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 8: and I gave Obed a little bit of a poke, 720 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 8: you know, I said, hey, you know what, I didn't 721 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 8: think that first game in Minnesota. 722 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 9: You know, it was a good game, but it wasn't 723 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 9: your best. 724 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 8: And that triantis kid in the middle of a big, 725 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 8: tall kid, you know, had your number a few times. 726 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 8: And Obed responded. And he's got another level or two, Softy. 727 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 8: So as much as I would love to have him 728 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 8: here and make a career for himself, like Christian, you know, 729 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 8: I think he's bound to try at least try to 730 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 8: go to Europe and maybe play at a slightly higher level. 731 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 9: But you just never know what happens. 732 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 8: I mean, you know, he might go there a couple 733 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 8: of years and might not work out for me come back, 734 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 8: and we'd love to we'd love to have him back. 735 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 7: Alex Rodan came off the field left signed at halftime. 736 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 7: What happened there?
