Speaker 2: college football on Saturday, and then Bengals Bills on Sunday.

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: It's a huge sports weekend. But the Cintas Center will

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: be rocking on Friday night. We'll hear Richard Patino's comments

20

21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: get those in the third hour. Can I interrupt of

22
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: today's show? Sure?

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: Because it feels like there's a lot of smoke and

24
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's fire or not all. But

25
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: have you seen this about Kyle Schwarber?

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: I have from Ken Rosenthal.

27
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: In Rosenthal, John Hayman, there is the word serious being

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: thrown around about the Reds and their interest in Kyle Schwarber.

29
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: And there is a potential interest or there is interest

30
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: in a return to Cincinnati from Kyle Schwarber. Now, these

31
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: are big time baseball people. We talked about Jeff Passing

32
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: that these aren't rumors. We're talking about Ken Rosenthal, We're

33
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: talking about John Hayman, people that know stuff in Major

34
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: League Baseball that keep linking the Reds to Kyle Schwarber. Now,

35
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: there are plenty of other teams still interested, as they

36
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: should be the guy hitting nine thousand home runs. But

37
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: doesn't it feel like this is a more serious This

38
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: is more than kicking the tires type of thing.

39
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 2: That's what I was gonna say. I read the Ken

40
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: Rosenthal tweet, and I've seen other comments around it, and this,

41
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: this to me is more than just like local Cincinnati

42
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: media saying it can happen. This to me feels like

43
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 2: national again. This it's one of the most sought after

44
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: free agents from this class without a doubt, so hearing

45
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: not it just it makes it feel like there's actually

46
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: a chance. And again, as you mentioned Austin, there are

47
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: other teams interested.

48
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: The Red Sox, the Orioles and how about John Hayman

49
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: reporting the Pittsburgh Pirates right among other teams. Could you

50
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 3: imagine what the vitriol would be from the Reds fan base, right,

51
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: if Kyle Schwarber was a Pittsburgh pirate, that would be

52
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: that might be the unforgivable sin for Mastelini's and for

53
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: Nick Crawl if that were to be the case.

54
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, perr Ken Rosenthal, the Reds have serious interest. Schwarber

55
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: is interested in the potential homecoming. Its just imagine what

56
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: that does to the city and the fan base.

57
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna allow myself to get over I'm not

58
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: gonna be like convincing myself that, oh my gosh, Kyle's

59
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: going to be a Red They're really gonna do it.

60
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: But but I have to acknowledge that this is more than, oh,

61
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: the Reds are interested, There is mutual interest. It's more

62
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 3: than the Reds are serious. Like, what was it two

63
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 3: weeks ago? The Reds were interested in Devin Williams. That's

64
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: all we heard. Then he signs a three year, fifty

65
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 3: one million dollar deal with the New York Mets yesterday

66
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: or two days ago. Reds probably never really were in

67
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: the conversation for Devin Williams, but of course they were interested,

68
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: and that's what they're interested. Serious interest from both sides

69
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 3: makes it feel like it's a lot more possible.

70
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: Right, likely is not the word I used, but possible possible.

71
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: I think it's a good way to go. I like

72
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: that from the Reds. Yeah. Now, I don't expect much,

73
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: but damn it's nice to at least think of what

74
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: could be.

75
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: This is what I want to hear from my ball

76
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: club in the winter, exactly that they're serious about trying

77
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: to improve this team. Kyle Shwerber hit fifty six OH

78
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: runs last year, Three of them were against left hand

79
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: He's from Middletown. How much last year did we complain

80
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: about the fact that the Reds could not hit left

81
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: handed pitching.

82
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: They couldn't hit anything.

83
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 3: Kyle Schwarber could hit everything, including left hander.

84
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: And like in this day and age where you talk

85
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: about the DH and the expanded role, it's not like

86
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: he's at the end of his career. No, he's got

87
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: plenty of time left and he's got plenty of power.

88
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, Austin, I think this gets

89
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: lost at times. This is a hitter friendly ballpark, regardless

90
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: of how the Reds play it. This is a ballpark

91
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: you can come to and hit home runs. Yeah. On

92
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: top of being from Middletown, that's probably also why there's

93
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: mutual interest because he probably thinks he can hit a

94
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: lot of home runs in Cincinnati.

95
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 3: He probably thinks he could hit one to Kentucky and

96
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: I bet he could.

97
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: Yep.

98
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: Could you imagine Elie de la Cruz protected in the

99
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 3: lineup by Kyle Schwarber.

100
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: I'd like to. That'd be pretty cool, would I'd like to? Man?

101
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: We would?

102
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's let's talk lineups here now. Now I'm excited.

103
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: Would you lead off Ellie and go Schwarber in the

104
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 3: two hole probably? Or would you lead off Schwarber, which

105
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: is what the Phillies have been, and let Elli be

106
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 3: right behind Ellie in the probably lead off Schwarber. Okay,

107
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: that's I think that's how I would play it. I

108
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: feel like it would be better for Elizardo de la

109
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 3: Cruzo if Kyle Schwarber was hitting behind him.

110
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: Man, this, see this, This is the problem. This is

111
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: a problem we are talking about. We're talking about lineups

112
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 2: based on interest, Yes, but my goodness, that's what happens

113
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,119
Speaker 2: when separate hits.

114
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: And right as we say that, right as we come up,

115
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 3: as the show starts, left hander Anthony k Oh is

116
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: in agreement on a two year, twelve million dollar contract

117
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: with the Chicago White Sox. So if Jerry Reinsdorf is

118
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 3: spending money, yep, And Jerry reins Dwarf hates to spend money,

119
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: it's time. If he's spending money, let's do it. It's

120
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 3: time to go get Kyle Schwarber.

121
00:06:58,839 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 4: Bring.

122
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 3: If the Pirates are trying to build around Paul Skins,

123
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: why can't we try to build around Hunter Green and

124
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: Elie de la Cruz and others.

125
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: I'm just excited thinking about what the lineup could look like.

126
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: And you go back to this Austin. I know we

127
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: use the term a lot in sport. There's not there's

128
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: not this much smoke with actually something being talked about.

129
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: Some's got to be on fire, right, There's there's a

130
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: fire somewhere. It's got to be some warmth now at

131
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 2: some point now this is I would be more than

132
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: happy to break in at any point today with breaking

133
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: news with Kyle Schwarper, there is news in college football.

134
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: Pete Thamil is reporting that Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian

135
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: Hartline he'd expected to become the next coach at South Florida.

136
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: Good for him. OSU's offensive court, off off offensive play caller.

137
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: He's the play caller for the Buck Houst. He's also

138
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: he's also built a I think a reputation around college football.

139
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: Is one of the best wide receiver developers in all

140
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: of the game. It's not one of the best, he

141
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: is the best. NFL he has been trying to poach

142
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: him for years to be a wide receiver. This is

143
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: a dude who played in the NFL with the Dolphins

144
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: and Browns for a good chunk of time. He was

145
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: a fourth round pick out of Ohio State in that

146
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 2: two thousand and five draft. He's an Ohio guy through

147
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: and through, born and raised up there, and Canton went

148
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: to Glen Oak High School. This is an awesome dude

149
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: who is like, I don't even think Ohio State fans

150
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: are upset. I think people were worried because it's National

151
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: Signing Day and they lost a wide receiver earlier this

152
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 2: morning who flipped a four star from Ohio State to

153
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: USC and Chris Henry Junior. We were all waiting his decision.

154
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: Thankfully he decided to stick with the Buckeyes. So Chris

155
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: Henry Jr. Is still coming to Ohio State. But Brian Hartline,

156
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: We've talked about it before, the unique job that is

157
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: South Florida. You are in a rich.

158
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: Rich, talent rich environment down there, and you've got dudes

159
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 3: that have to go to USF that think they should

160
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: be at Florida, that think they should be at Florida State,

161
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: that think they should be at one of the SEC schools,

162
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: and they come down there trying to prove a point.

163
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: And with the guy who develops and has the acumen

164
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: of one Brian Hartline and obviously his familiarity down there

165
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 3: with that part of the country in Florida, I mean

166
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 3: come on with it now, Brian Heartline, Good luck, man,

167
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: I'll be getting some USF gear. I love that guy.

168
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 2: And it's not like that as like a program now

169
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: void of talent, right, I mean they had a very

170
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: good year this year. Yeah, good enough that their coach

171
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: is now the coach at Auburn. Yeah, right, like that.

172
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: There's something there playing an NFL stadium. Yeah, there's something

173
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: there with what they're building. I mean South Florida this

174
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: year they pulled off a nice run. They beat Boise State,

175
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: who was ranked open the year they beat Florida when

176
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 2: they were ranked. They did fall to Miami at Florida,

177
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: but I was a good South Florida team this year.

178
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: It makes me wonder. Austin and I know this is

179
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: a what if if you go back a couple of

180
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,119
Speaker 2: years when the Bearcats made their move to Scott's Sodderfield,

181
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 2: do you think Heartline would have been interested then if

182
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: the Bearcats came knocking or do you think it was

183
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: just kind of the point in his tenure at Ohio

184
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: State where he's like, Okay, now I'm ready to move on. Yeah.

185
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 3: I don't know that I would assume he would have

186
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 3: been interested. I mean It's not like if Scott Saderfield

187
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: gets fired today. The interest in the Bearcat program is

188
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: not nearly what it was when he was hired right

189
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: in the aftermath of Luke Fickle. It was as good

190
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: as it has ever been in terms of people wanting

191
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 3: to be there in the Big twelve looming and all

192
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: of that now little different. It's not the same at all,

193
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: and obviously with the financial concerns as well. So yeah,

194
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: I would think I would have thought Brian Hartline would

195
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: have been pretty interested. We at that time.

196
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: We'll spend some time today on the college football playoff rankings.

197
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: We'll get to that an hour number two with our

198
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: second football in the NATI. There is austin some NFL

199
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: news as it pertains to the Hall of Fame and

200
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: friend of the Show and one of the all time

201
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: Bengal greats, Ken Anderson. Yes, Ken Anderson, I believe has

202
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: made it to the final three with the Senior Committee finalist.

203
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 2: He's made it to the final five. Yes, three of

204
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: Belichick Robert Kraft are two of those, and then Roger

205
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: Craig and Elsie Greenwood alongside of Ken Anderson.

206
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: So five of those finalists, only a maximum of three,

207
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 3: and you would think Belichick and Craft would be in.

208
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 3: I would think Belichick would be in without a doubt.

209
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if any of those others would be

210
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 3: guaranteed to get in. I do think it would be

211
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 3: hilarious if Belichick and Craft got in on the same

212
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 3: year and they would be forced to stand up there

213
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,479
Speaker 3: next to each other. That I think would be hilarious.

214
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, good for Ken Anderson to be a senior finalist.

215
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: What we've said it a thousand times. He deserves it.

216
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, and.

217
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: Each finalist has to get an eighty percent approval vote

218
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: by the full selection committee ahead of Super Bowl sixty,

219
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: and that will be announced I think the Saturday before

220
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: for the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, where Super Bowl

221
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 3: sixty is being held.

222
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 2: College football Signing Day today doesn't feel like it carries

223
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: the same way as it used to. Has the Bearcats

224
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: signed anybody they did? I just don't know much about

225
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 2: him yet. Okay, Scott Sudderfield, we'll talk later today, SCOO.

226
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: That's kind of when we're off air, though, So maybe

227
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: Mole have something on college football signing Day. College basketball.

228
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: It's a good night last night of action the college

229
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 2: basketball world. Duke led by twelve at half. They needed

230
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: a three with about twenty seconds left to beat Florida

231
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: sixty seven to sixty six. Yukon went on the road

232
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: and beat Kansas sixty one to fifty six. Michigan State

233
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: looks really good. They beat Iowa Michigan State. Already this

234
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: year Austin with Tom Izzo has beaten number fourteen, Arkansas,

235
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: number twelve, Kentucky number sixteen at North Carolina. Tom Mizzo

236
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 2: just picking up right where he always leaves off. Also,

237
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: last night, Syracuse upsets previously undefeated Tennessee. And you want

238
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: to talk about some pan and I can sense it

239
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: in Big Blue Nation. Now Austin, Kentucky's five and three Ernie,

240
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: They're wins Nichols, val Parreiso, Eastern Illinois, Loyola, Tennessee Tech

241
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: their losses Louisville, Michigan State, and North Carolina. Last night,

242
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: North Carolina goes into rupp Arena and beats the Kentucky

243
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 2: Wildcats sixty seven to sixty four. It now gets no

244
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: easier Austin for Kentucky, as they will now turn their

245
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: site to Friday when they take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs

246
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: Number eleven in the country at Ropperina.

247
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 3: A lot of ranked games still on that Kentucky schedule, YEP, Indiana,

248
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: Saint John's obviously, Alabama, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Arkansas. It's a lot

249
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 3: Auburn is ranked. This a tough loss. Who would you

250
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: rather have lead in your program? Oh, Mark Poper, west Miller, Well,

251
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: west Miller. I'd probably pick Richard.

252
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: But you know, the Pope thing's interesting because last year

253
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: they had like an ungodly amount of wins vers ranked teams. Yeah,

254
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 2: they just haven't been able to do it this year.

255
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: But I know from friends of mine that root for Kentucky,

256
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: they spend a lot of money on that roster this

257
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: year and they are expecting wins sooner rather than later.

258
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: Speaking of Wes Miller, the shootout happens on Friday, Austin.

259
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: Is there a lack of buzz around the shootout to you?

260
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: It feels like it to me, Yeah, I would say so.

261
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: I mean from my perspective, like I don't have a

262
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 3: dog in the fight, And there's been years in the

263
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: past where I've been really excited for the shootout just

264
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: because of what it meant, and I think just because

265
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: of where Cincinnati Athletics as a whole is at right now. Yes,

266
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: and Xavier with the understandable tumultuous turnover of of Benedict

267
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: Sean Miller. I don't know that there's that much juice

268
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: around it. To me, the biggest story is what happens

269
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: if the Bearcats lose.

270
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah with Wes Miller, and I do think the timing

271
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: of the game makes it hard. This is college football

272
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 2: Championship weekend, and it's not just on Saturday. There's big

273
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: games on Friday night as well. Those go into Saturday.

274
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: You've also got the the background of Bengals Bills on Sunday.

275
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: It is timing wise hard and both teams have just

276
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: struggled early in the season. It takes away now again,

277
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: I expect Friday night comes and the Centas Center sold

278
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: out and it's rocking, and you tune in to watch

279
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: the game, and I think there will be an uptick

280
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: in passion and energy. I do think that, but it's

281
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: just different. The lead up to the game feels different

282
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: than what it does in recent years. On this side

283
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: of things. Have you seen the Ken palm prediction? No,

284
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: Ken Palm predicts a final score of seventy two to

285
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: seventy in the Crosstown shootout with Xavier winning. I mean

286
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: that wouldn't surprise me. The which is crazy to think

287
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: about where this was three weeks ago. I know unbelieved.

288
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: I was telling Moe the other day like the I

289
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: think we talked about this on the air too, the

290
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: two weeks leading up to the shootout. Every year of

291
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: the exact scene doesn't matter when it's played.

292
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: Yep, don't matter who's coaching either, matter who's coaching, who's

293
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: coaching or play, it always goes the same way. But

294
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: that happens on Friday night, and we'll talk about it.

295
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: We'll hear again from Richard Patino and West Miller today

296
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: in the third hour of the show. Zach Taylor will

297
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: hear him at one o'clock this afternoon. We've already got

298
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: phone calls to get to. We've got Bengals to talk about,

299
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: and again a wide open AFC conference will dive into

300
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: the Bengals. The Bengals when we come back on this

301
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,360

Speaker 2: It's just the sound of football. It's crazy, Austin, how

309
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 2: just one win and Joe Burrow coming back completely changes

310
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 2: a feel about a team and a season. This SINCY

311
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: three sixty thanks to Skyline Chile. Thank you for listening

312
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: in five one, three, seven, four, nine, fifteen thirty. We'll

313
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: get to your phone calls in the next segment, but

314
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: for now, Austin with the Cincinnati Bengals and with the

315
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: openness of the AFC as a whole, the parody that

316
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: is surrounding this league. You know, Moe hit on it

317
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: earlier in the week on Monday. There was a chance

318
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: this year, the first time they played, where you could

319
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: make the argument the Pittsburgh Steelers had a chance to

320
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: put the Bengals away. They didn't. You could make the

321
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: argument that the Baltimore Ravens had a chance on Thursday

322
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: to put the Banks away and eliminate them from contention.

323
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: Can you make the same argument for the Buffalo Bills,

324
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: Because let's make no mistake about this, and this has

325
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: been talked about across all platforms right now. I believe

326
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 2: it was. Bruce Arians was on Pat McAfee show earlier

327
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: in the week and he said, looking at the bengals

328
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 2: remaining schedule, if the Bengals can beat the Bills, I

329
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 2: like their schedule the rest of the way, I can

330
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: see them running the table and getting in the playoffs.

331
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 2: When asked if the Borrow if the Bengals could win

332
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, Bruce Arian said, with Joe b Hell, yeah,

333
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: if you're the Buffalo Bills. Austin. Is there conversation around

334
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: Orchard Park this week about not only winning to win

335
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: the game, but winning to try to eliminate having to

336
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: potentially see Joe Burrow again.

337
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: I don't think they think like that right now. I

338
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 3: think it's like, hey, let's beat the Bengals. Like I

339
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: really don't think NFL teams at this point in the

340
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 3: season are are like, yeah, we gotta we gotta absolutely

341
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: end Joe Burrow right now. We've got to end the

342
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 3: Bengals hopes right now.

343
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 4: Now.

344
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 2: Want to get going.

345
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 3: Maybe the AFC North thinks that way, but I don't

346
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: know that the Buffalo Bills necessarily necessarily think that way.

347
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: I think they're trying to catch the New England Patriots.

348
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 3: Do you believe they still have another game against New England? Sure,

349
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: games against the Jets and the Browns and Philadelphia, who

350
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: doesn't look like they did at the beginning of the

351
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 3: year at all last year. So Buffalo is probably thinking,

352
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: we have a chance to win the AFC East if

353
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 3: we run the table.

354
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 2: Do you think that if the Bengals get by the

355
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: Bills on Sunday that they will be favorites in each

356
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: of the remaining four games? They'll be favorites at home

357
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: against Baltimore, right.

358
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 5: I don't know that.

359
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: I would say that.

360
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 3: It maybe depends what Baltimore looks like from an injury standpoint.

361
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: They'll be favorite against Arizona and Cleveland at home, they

362
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: will What about the Dolphins game, which.

363
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 3: By the way, that clear Eveland game could feature Deshaun

364
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: Watson at quarterback.

365
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: I saw that they opened up his twenty one day

366
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: window today. He sure did. Wow.

367
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: Miami is interesting. They're playing a lot better football right now.

368
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 3: They're not great. I mean, they struggled with New Orleans

369
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 3: last week.

370
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: They did, but they have they've got some good wins.

371
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 2: I mean, they beat Buffalo in this three game stretch,

372
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: they beat the Commanders in this three game stretch, they

373
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: get to play the Jets and the Steelers before the Bengals.

374
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you could be looking at a better I

375
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 2: mean you could be looking at a seven and seven

376
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: Dolphins team in that week.

377
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, which makes the idea of that game potentially being

378
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: flexed really interesting. I think it's six days from now

379
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 3: when they have to decide, so they will at least

380
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 3: know the result of that Jets game.

381
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: And obviously what the Bengals have done. Yeah, what the

382
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: Bengals have done.

383
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, I think at home road as of now,

384
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 3: night game, I'm gonna guess the Bengals would be a

385
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 3: slight favorite if they beat Buffalo.

386
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 2: Do you believe in Cleveland that Deshaun Watson plays this year?

387
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 3: Yes, I do. I think he will play. I don't

388
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 3: storyline that I don't believe in the I do think

389
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: he will play.

390
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, just from some of the rumblings I've heard around

391
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: there are there is other news in the NFL right now.

392
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: The Steelers moved on from Darius Slay yesterday. They added

393
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 2: Adam Feelin yesterday. So the Steelers are just gonna keep

394
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: getting older.

395
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: Did you see the tweet that went viral Sunday with

396
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. It was about Mike Tomlin. Oh, and it

397
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 3: said Mike Tomlin's gonna say something dumb like we can't

398
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: eat soup with spoon or we can't eat soup with forks.

399
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 3: We got to use spoons. And then the Steelers will

400
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 3: sign a twenty eighteen pro bowler. That's exactly what they

401
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: did yep with Adam Thieler.

402
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: My favorite part going around right now for the Pittsburgh

403
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 2: Steelers is the screen like the screenshot of Aaron Rodgers

404
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: with the band aid on his nose and said, Aaron

405
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 2: Rodgers looked like he just tried to rob Kevin McAllister's house,

406
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 2: and as a whole, as a home alone fan, I

407
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: cannot get it out of my head. And now there's

408
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 2: like all the screen shots or they people have like

409
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: photoshopped him on Marv's body. I love it, but it

410
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: looks like, yes, Aaron Rodgers, outside of playing on Sundays,

411
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: just tried to rob Kevin McAllister's house.

412
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 3: Rogers would say, that's what it's felt like playing for

413
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 3: the Steelers this year. Probably all the stuff that Marv

414
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 3: went through in Uh either either movie?

415
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 2: Pick one? Do you watch the ones after the second one? Nope?

416
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 2: Hell no, Yeah no, you can't watch today. Like we're

417
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 2: nearing the point where we talk on this show about

418
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: Christmas movies, uh huh. Because there are things like that

419
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate on this platform, Like I appreciate having an

420
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: opinion every day, and I appreciate the fact that others

421
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 2: can call in and have different opinions than mine and

422
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: we could talk back and forth through those. That's not

423
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: the case when it comes to Christmas movies. It's Christmas

424
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 2: vacation and it's nothing else. And if you oppose that,

425
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 2: then I will fight you on that. Whereas other things

426
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: you could tell me about the Bengals or the bear

427
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 2: Cats or anything else, and I would listen and take

428
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: your opinion and move on from it. You're gonna tell

429
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: me Christmas vacations not at the top, then we're gonna

430
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: have issues. You're wearing your shirt today. Yeah, we got

431
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: a Christmas party here at the office today. Big Christmas

432
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: party happening here today the Kenwick Studios. Other things going on.

433
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: Evan McPherson.

434
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: Mack has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of

435
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: the Week. McPherson, of course six for six in field

436
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: goals in Baltimore, two extra points scored twenty points for Cincinnati.

437
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 3: Bengals also opened up the practice window for linebacker Shaka Hayward.

438
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: Come on, Shaka to return, so he gets a roster exemption.

439
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: The Bengals can activate him at any point over the

440
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: next twenty one days. He suffered I believe a fibula

441
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 3: injury earlier this year, but looks like he's on the

442
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 3: come up. Bengals are practicing right now if I'm not mistaken,

443
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: so waiting to see some more from that. We'll hear

444
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: from Zach Taylor or maybe they'll do it later this afternoon.

445
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 3: The schedule has screwed me up over the last two

446
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 3: weeks with the Thursday game, but Zach coming up at

447
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 3: one o'clock.

448
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: What'll we expecting from Zach today? Obviously, I think it's

449
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: safe to say Trey Hendrickson's not going to play this week. Yeah,

450
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: which is interesting because Joey Bosa left Buffalo's last game

451
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: against the Steelers with the hamstring injury. Bosa leads the

452
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: Bills in sacks. It's already a banged up Bills team

453
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball. No, Joey Bosa

454
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: would be significant for the Bengals. On Sunday, what do

455
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: you feel about T Higgins and his availability this week?

456
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting.

457
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 3: I believe I read from Jay Morrison the other day

458
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 3: that the way he wrote it was that T Higgins

459
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 3: is expected to come back. Yeah, so the fact that

460
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 3: he was out there for that walk through Monday, and

461
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 3: I guess the mini by probably helped a little bit.

462
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: I'm surprised by that.

463
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 3: I thought, just based off the way that it looks

464
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 3: like a bad one, it might be a couple of weeks.

465
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 2: So hopefully there's some more indication on that, and if

466
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 2: there's would be obviously massive to get him back.

467
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott did say about Joey Bosa today is that

468
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:09,800

00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: I have vowed the last two times you see as

519
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 2: went to the Cintas Center to not go back for

520
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: the shootout, and like here I am kind of getting

521
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: pulled back in. Like I asked Mayor last night, I'm like,

522
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 2: do we want to go to the shootout on Friday?

523
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what to do. It's

524
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: a it's a it's kind of I think it's the

525
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: feeling you had as the game approached with Ohio State

526
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: and Michigan where you kind of get that You're you're

527
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: thinking like during the week where it's like whatever we'll see,

528
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: and then it gets closer You're like, man, I've got

529
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 2: this feeling again, and I know what that feeling leads to. Pain.

530
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: By the way, a fun stat I saw from Paul Fritchner.

531
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: Is it fun? Actually? Nope? Uh Kerkkrisa was asked by

532
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: Kelsey Conway after the game on Monday night about the

533
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: game coming up on Friday, and he made a reference

534
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 2: of playing the team from Norwood.

535
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: Oh that's a fun that's one of my fun little

536
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 3: favorite things about this right And.

537
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we know we got to go play that team

538
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: from Norwood and head there, and we know they like

539
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: to bring intensity, so we'll be ready and we'll bring

540
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: it as well. It led to a funny stat from

541
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: Paul Kerk. Crisa is currently the only player that will

542
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: be on the court on Friday night that was alive

543
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: born the last time you see went and won at

544
00:28:59,040 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: the Centa Center.

545
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 3: So you said that's not a fun stat. Nonna say

546
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 3: I would be. I'd be putting that on a billboard.

547
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 3: And we do have, you know, plenty of Xavier fans

548
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 3: who listen. I'll be the Xavier representative. That's awesome. There

549

00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: Shame?

552
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 7: How's doing?

553
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: What's up?

554
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 7: I just I've been meeting the call for a long time.

555
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 7: I met you after the Iowa State game. I was

556
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 7: with Angelo Dawkins. I was a driver.

557
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: Nice nice, We had we had.

558
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 7: A blast up there and then you got fired, so

559
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 7: I didn't.

560
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 4: Probably got a hold of it.

561
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 2: That's true. That was a good time. Yes, yes, And then.

562
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 7: I didn't get to watch the b YU U See game,

563
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 7: and I'm sitting there listening to it on the radio,

564
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 7: and the whole time I'm listening to him like, why

565
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 7: is Tony not coaching the Bearcat He should be a

566
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 7: defensive coordinator. I hate their defense, the way they run,

567
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 7: and I'd give anything.

568
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 2: For you to be the I don't know. I like

569
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: to think I know a lot about defense. I as

570
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: long as I've been around the game. I'm just not

571
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: a huge fan of the three three five.

572
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 4: Oh, it's terrible.

573
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: It's uh it to me. It's it's in today's football

574
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: and playing in a conference like the Big twelve, I

575
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 2: think it's hard to have continued success against it. And

576
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 2: one of the things that it's supposed to help against

577
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 2: is the passing game. And you know they they played

578
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: a Baylor team this year and Baylor was one of

579
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: the best passing attacks in the country and they limited them.

580
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: TCU was one of the best passing attacks in the

581
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: country as well, but they've been gashed on the ground.

582
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: The three three five just it doesn't bode well against

583
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: teams that can run the ball, and you see too

584
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: many of those in the Big twelve.

585
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 7: And my other thing is I'm a Steelers guy. Oh

586
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 7: and I can't believe you and Mo Haven said it

587
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 7: when the Hurricanes played you see, do you remember the

588
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 7: little airplane flying around saying fire Al Golden?

589
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I do.

590
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 7: I do out when the bingo tired him.

591
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 4: I'm like, what a joke. But I think the Steelers

592
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 4: will get it together.

593
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 2: And when they have North does it? Does Adam feel

594
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 2: make a difference for you? Yeah?

595
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 4: I think so.

596
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,239
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I cracked up.

597
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 7: Every time I hear Zach Tailor's press conference. It sounds

598
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 7: just like Marvin Lewis and Dick Wibo's just.

599
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: Going through the motions.

600
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 7: And for Austins, I thank you man.

601
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 3: All right, let's go. When do the Bearcats play in

602
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 3: the college football Playoff? Okay, easy, he's gonna come at me.

603
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 3: You expect you to just sit here and take it

604
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 3: it easy?

605
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: There was I do remember that.

606
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 4: Now.

607
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,959
Speaker 2: Al Golden was the coach of Miami when they came

608
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: to Nippert Stadium and lost, and there was a banner

609
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: that said fire out Golden flying around the stadium. It's

610
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: crazy to too many years to visit that twenty fifteen. Wow,

611
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: that's insane.

612
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 3: Huh good, where's that banner at today?

613
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: Good question? I would We couldn't use it. We got

614
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 2: to extend our now most of money. He needs to

615
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 2: see one more week before the d is put back in.

616
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,880

00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 4: I'll get to that last. But I'd like to start

623
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 4: off with some college basketball and then go to Kenny

624
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 4: Anderson and these senior selections. Okay, college basketball. From what

625
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 4: I can ascertain, the three toughest schedules that have been

626
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 4: played so far, Alabama's played the toughest. They'd played everybody,

627
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 4: and that Michigan State with ISO, they played a lot

628
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: of good teams, and that that's the that's looking Michigan

629
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 4: State team I've seen in ten years.

630
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 2: It's at least it's scary to me because normally Izzo

631
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 2: struggles early on and then come February March they're rolling.

632
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 2: He's got this team playing well now, I can't imagine

633
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 2: what they're going to look like come March.

634
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 4: He's got that guard kid named Guard.

635
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

636
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 4: I always always think of Ralph got his baseball player

637
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 4: way back in the day. But no, he's got some

638
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 4: serious athletes and they're long too. They're very long. Yep.

639
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 4: And the third team has done Zaga, but that's not

640
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 4: unusual for mister Mark Hugh, who's the most underrated coach

641
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 4: in all of America.

642
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think there's a sneaky I think

643
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 2: Duke as well. Duke has played Kansas, Arkansas, and Florida

644
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: so far, and they do play Michigan State on Saturday.

645
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: So Duke's played a tough schedule as well and have

646
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: been unblemish through that as well.

647
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are, but boy, I'll tell you what that game.

648
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 4: I'm not going to miss Michigan State in Duke. That's

649
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 4: just be a dandy. Regarding Kenny Anderson and uh the

650
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 4: three selections, so they're five. Let me make sure I

651
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 4: have this straight. There's five possibilities and three selections.

652
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 2: There can't be any more than three selections. To be

653
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 2: one of the three, you have to get eighty percent

654
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 2: of those votes.

655
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't see how Elsie Greenway doesn't get in.

656
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 4: And the only reason he hasn't been in before was

657
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 4: he played in the Shadow of They had about seven

658
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 4: or eight Hall of Famers on.

659
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: That deepot and the Steel Curtain. Yes, oh my god, the.

660
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 4: Line Jack Hamm and Jack Lambert and then Mel Blunt

661
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 4: and this one and that one on it was just unbelievable.

662
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 4: So I see Elsie getting in. He was six time

663
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 4: Pro bowler, two time All Pro, got a couple of

664
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 4: rings to show for it. I just don't see how

665
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 4: he doesn't get in. But boy, I'm telling you, I'm

666
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 4: saying my prayers for Kenny Yeap because it's just it's

667
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 4: just a shame, right Tony, because he was a great

668
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 4: quarterback that played for either a bad or average team.

669
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 2: It's always hard, I think, to do if you just

670
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 2: go stats, because if you put his statistics up to

671
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 2: many guys that are in the Hall of Fame, Ken

672
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 2: Anderson should already be in, you know, but so much

673
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: comes down to who you played for and what the

674
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 2: teams did through the full time you were there. I mean,

675
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 2: Ken Anderson was an MVP in the National Football League,

676
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 2: a four time Pro boy, he was the most valuable

677
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: player in nineteen eighty one over thirty two thousand passing

678
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: yards just under two hundred passing touchdowns. There are Hall

679
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: of Fame quarterbacks that are in that don't have those

680
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 2: types of numbers. But again, I think it's just so

681
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 2: much more as taken in. I'm with you, I hope

682
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 2: more than anything that Ken Anderson gets in.

683
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 7: Yeah.

684
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 4: Plus he's just such a wonderful human being. But one

685
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 4: more thing about Kenny, Now, I think if I recollect,

686
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 4: he was very accurate passer, if I'm not mistaken, didn't

687
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 4: throw a lot of picks.

688
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 2: Right, I don't have the full stats ahead of me,

689
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 2: but I would imagine his accuracy was his strong point.

690
00:35:59,520 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 9: Yeah.

691
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 4: I mean, he wasn't flashy or anything, but boy was

692
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 4: he was he what's the word efficient? Efficient? Okay, now

693
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 4: we get to Schwarber. Now, come on, guys, everybody doesn't

694
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 4: Everybody does not necessarily want to go back to their hometown.

695
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 4: Now some guys do. Some guys could care less about that.

696
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 4: It's not like Middletown's the Honolulu. Okay. So, and now

697
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 4: I know the Giants are in the hunt because they

698
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 4: need a left handed power hit a really really bad

699
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 4: So I heard that from the John Morosi on the

700
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 4: MLB Network last night. So I, I, you know, Kyle Is.

701
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 4: He hits home runs, but you know he's a career

702
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 4: about a two forty he played for the two forty hitter.

703
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 4: He played for the Red Sox back in twenty twenty one.

704
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 4: I believe he might have been a rental player at

705
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 4: the end of the year because he had only had

706
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 4: like one hundred and thirty at bats. I'm not sure,

707
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 4: but I like to be awesome Tony, but god, you

708
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 4: know how much money. Oh, this guy's gonna get.

709
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 2: It all career wise two thirty one. He hit just

710
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 2: two forty last year, but again, fifty six home runs.

711
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 2: I think that's the thing. Like, if I'm not reading

712
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 2: from Jeff Passing and Ken Rosenthal, I'm not even putting

713
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 2: into thought Kyle Schwarber being here, and he was back

714
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: in Middletown for an event a couple of weeks ago,

715
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 2: and he said all the right things about Cincinnati, which

716
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: I kind of assumed he would. But man, if it

717
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 2: wasn't coming from just baseball guys that cover the whole league,

718
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't think any more of it. But again,

719
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: you hear it enough and you wonder, Okay, is there

720
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 2: fire where there's that much smoke? I don't know, but man,

721
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: it would be fun in Cincinnati for baseball if they

722
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: found a way. But I'm with you, the amount of

723
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: money is gonna cost. I don't see it happening, but

724
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 2: it would be a heck of a story.

725
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 4: I think we should all contribute, like fifteen bucks a piece.

726
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: Let's go get this team. We're all in. I throw

727
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: fifteen on it. I'm in for fifteen. That's Austin does

728
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 2: that weekly to the foundation at Ohio State.

729
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, Austin. Now the dirty laundry really comes out.

730
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 4: Yeh see, I knew, I knew there was something dirty

731
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 4: about that whole deal with you? All right, you guys, thank.

732
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 2: One more thing on the Swarberg this, John Hayman said

733
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: earlier Austin, The Reds are indeed interested in hometown here.

734
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,439
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber would be quite a coop if they could

735
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: pull it off. Red Sox Orioles pirates, including of course,

736
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 2: the incumbent Phillies, all in on Kyle Schwarber. Ken Rosenthal

737
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 2: first linked Schwarber to Cincinnati. So there you have it

738
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 2: uh one more call and then we'll break to finish

739
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 2: up the hour mark. What's up?

740
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 8: Okay? One one Can Anderson comment and one cow swarber. Okay,

741
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 8: let me let me go with the Can Anderson first.

742
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 10: I could be wrong.

743
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 8: You may be able to give me some a inside

744
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 8: on this. That was a stretch from seventy eight, seventy

745
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 8: nine in eighty. He didn't have particularly good seasons those

746
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 8: three years, and the Bengals drafted Jack Thompson and tried

747
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 8: to replace him. So sometimes sometimes I wonder if that

748
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 8: bad stretch, you know, that was some injuries in there too.

749
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 7: Yeah.

750
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: Seventy eight he only seventy eight, He played twelve games,

751
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 2: but he threw ten interceptions, or he threw ten touchdowns

752
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 2: to twenty two interceptions, So seventy eight was a nightmare. Season.

753
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 2: Seventy nine he played in fifteen, sixteen touchdowns, ten interceptions,

754
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 2: and then another injured year in nineteen eighty he started

755
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 2: twelve games, six touchdowns to thirteen interceptions, So there was

756
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 2: a you're one hundred percent right, there was a stretch

757
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 2: in there over three years with what thirty two touchdown

758
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 2: passes and fifty five in or se So yeah, I

759
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: completely understand that.

760
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, I wonder if that's what's hurting him, that

761
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 8: that three year bad stretch he had. If he if

762
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 8: he could have had better seasons during that time, with

763
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 8: that he would have he may have been a shoe in.

764
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 8: I could be wrong, but this my opinion. Sure, okay,

765
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 8: my cow swore, of course. And I'm confused. I heard

766
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 8: y'all earlier say if they were able to land in

767
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 8: he bashed first a second. Now, I thought, I thought, see,

768
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 8: you can talk about my lineup, then you be going yep.

769
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 8: I thought I thought we needed somebody in the middle

770
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 8: of the lineup, not somebody at the top. So I'm

771
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 8: confused that putting him one or two, I thought he

772
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 8: would solve the either third or fourth or wherever you're

773
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 8: going to bat Ali, I mean, we got a lead

774
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 8: off hit or so.

775
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: I just look at how he hit fifty six last year,

776
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 2: and he did it out of the one hole for

777
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Phillies. And whether that's him being comfortable or

778
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: whether that's Philly just saying, hey, from pitch number one,

779
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 2: you better have your stuff. And if not, Kyle Schwarber's

780
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: gonna jump all over it. I think there is a

781
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 2: little bit of value to that, But I certainly understand

782
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 2: the point.

783
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, if it were me, if it was my choice,

784
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,479
Speaker 8: I will probably be batting third. Yeah, in that way,

785
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 8: at least I'm getting him in that bat Sure in

786
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 8: the first hit, Sure, you know, and go from me.

787
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 8: So yeah, let me get all the show.

788
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 2: Appreciate it. See what happens here Austin. We've got to

789
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 2: shootout Friday. We've got Bengals bill Sunday Championship weekend. And

790
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: we mentioned a little bit on Swarburn. Now we're talking

791
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 2: about Swarburn, the lineup.

792
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 3: We love people from Cincinnati, We love hometown heroes, home

793
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 3: run hitters.

794
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 2: Do you know, off the top of your head, out

795
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: of the fifty six home runs he hit, how many

796
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 2: were out of the leadoff spot or how many were

797
00:41:58,480 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 2: leadoff home runs?

798
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I feel like he set a record for this,

799
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 3: didn't he fifteen?

800
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 2: Fifteen? Yeah, And like that's that to me? Is the

801
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 2: thing like when you have a Kyle Schwarber leading off,

802
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 2: you don't get to just like groove the first pitch

803
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 2: over to get comfortable in the game. You know, like

804
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 2: so many times pitchers are like, all right, first pitch

805
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 2: of the game, let's get as striking here. You're uncomfortable

806
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: right away, like you have to make sure and warm

807
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: Up's like, all right, I gotta be ready because I

808
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 2: got Kyle Schwarber coming up here.

809
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 3: And again the notion of your best hitter coming to

810
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 3: the plate more frequently, yea, I think is and.

811
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 2: Are you going to pitch around him? With Ellie de

812
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 2: la Cruz on deck? Right again? What are we doing?

813
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 2: And he is just a rumor? Here's the other thing

814
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 2: I can't I'm losing.

815
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: The other thing we'd have to consider right for heartbreak

816
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 3: is the Reds have made it very obvious that they

817
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 3: don't value hitting home runs in the way that they

818
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 3: approach games and some of the decisions made by Terry Francona.

819
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 3: And maybe part of that is that they haven't had

820
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 3: guys in the lineup that are viable, guys that they

821
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 3: feel like can hit those home runs. How does that

822
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 3: change your day to day strategy on construction of the lineup?

823
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 3: And if you're struggling to score runs, why wouldn't you

824
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 3: put your most prolific home run here in the leadoff spot?

825
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:15,479
Speaker 8: Right?

826
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 2: And I don't, I just.

827
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 3: I know Mark's talking about badam third or fourth. No,

828
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 3: I want him up more frequently. I would almost say

829
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 3: put Ellie at lead off and put Schwarber behind him

830
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 3: or flip him. I don't care, but you got to

831
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 3: get those guys up to the lineup more frequently, or

832
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 3: up to the plate more. Frick at us December third

833
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 3: lineup potential with Dyle Schwarber. Kyle, if you're listening, come home.

834
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 3: In the words of the great Jeff Brantley, why don't

835
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 3: you come home, back to the house.

836
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: Come home.

837
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 3: We've been waiting on. We'll take a break. When we

838
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 3: come back, Kyle call in.

839
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 2: We'll put an end to hour number one, and then

840
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: we'll start our two with Zach Taylor's weekly press conference

841
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 2: on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station WC Welcome back

842
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 2: since the three sixty ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

843
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 2: I have one question, Austin. I've been reading a lot

844
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 2: about Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers. You know, the

845
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 2: big Ben I saw came out and said that, you know,

846
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 2: it might be time to move on from Tomlin. I

847
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: know James Harrison had some things to say about Mike Tomlin.

848
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 2: Ben Roethlisberger floated out there that Tomlin should go and

849
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 2: be a great fit for Penn State. Who still has

850
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 2: a job opening. My question is this, I know they

851
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 2: have championships in the past, How could have of a

852
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 2: job as Pittsburgh right now? With their roster it's not

853
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 2: the best. I mean, they are essentially a fossil. They're

854
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 2: old in most every position. TJ Wats just getting older.

855
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 2: Cam Heyward's is just getting older. Jalen ram he is

856
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 2: just getting older.

857
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 7: Are you?

858
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 2: Who is your foundational piece on the offensive side of

859
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 2: the ball? Like, how good of a job would Pittsburgh

860
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 2: be right now in the coaching carousel that could be?

861
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you just see more of that of

862
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: ownership in the way that that franchise is built. It's

863
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 3: probably still in a desirable position. I mean, obviously they've

864
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 3: had three head coaches in the last fifty I think

865
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 3: they would want Zach Taylor. Yeah, I bet they would.

866
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 3: Zach Taylor's kind of kicked their ass.

867
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 2: Speaking to Zach Taylor, he speaks, We'll carry that next

868
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 2: On ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

Speaker 2: We are certainly appreciative of them. Austin, Do we have

882
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor yet? Is he late to the podium today?

883
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 2: We do not yet have wow Zach Taylor at the

884
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 2: post now. As of late, he's almost been freakishly early,

885
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: eager to the podium, eager to talk. So it must

886
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 2: be maybe there's a lot going on in the background today.

887
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,280
Speaker 2: Maybe there's some things we don't know about. We're waiting.

888
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: I believe we're we do. I think we have Zach. Now,

889
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: let's throw it to Zach Taylor in his weekly Wednesday

890
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 2: press conference. Maybe maybe is limited today?

891
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 11: Same with Tage Brooks, same category. Both been good progress.

892
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 9: We tre andrickson practice.

893
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:18,760
Speaker 2: We'll tends out about the building.

894
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 11: A lot of this group has been around for a while.

895
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 11: I know some of them have left and come back,

896
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 11: but they've had a lot of continuity over there. I

897
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 11: know they've added a couple of new pieces, but you know,

898
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 11: they've done a good job. Sean has been a part

899
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 11: of that defense obviously for nine years now. Bobby Babbage

900
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 11: has been there I think the entirety at the time

901
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 11: as well, So a lot of continuity over there, a

902
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 11: lot of veterans I know how to do it, a

903
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 11: lot of young guys that they're working in the mix

904
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 11: as well. So just a really really solid group that

905
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 11: makes things difficult for.

906
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 4: Why do you.

907
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 12: Think yourself, Dan Pitcher and Joe works so well?

908
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 11: That's well, I think, like anything, we've been together a

909
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 11: long time. You know, it's just been here since before

910
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 11: I got here. We made him the quarterback coach right

911
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 11: when Joe walked in the door, so that relationship has

912
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 11: just continued to grow over Joe's tenure here. I like

913
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 11: to think it's it's guys that you know, we can

914
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 11: adapt each other and work well.

915
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 9: With each other.

916
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 11: And put Brad Kraig thro up in that mix, you

917
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 11: put Jake Browning in that mix, you put Joe Flackman

918
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 11: that mix as well. So I just think that it's

919
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 11: it's you know, people that like working together see things

920
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 11: the same way. Everyone's got input. Everybody I just mentioned

921
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 11: has input on how we do it. I don't think

922
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 11: there's any egos involved there with how it needs to

923
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 11: be done. And we're able to try to problem solve

924
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 11: during the week and during the game as well and

925
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 11: try to get the best result.

926
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 12: Why do you think that matters or plays a role

927
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 12: in Joe being able to take it's a one half

928
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 12: where it's a little bit see gives around running second

929
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 12: half them all and more.

930
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 11: I think we just we keep things fluid during games

931
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 11: and always want his feedback. That's one thing I learned

932
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 11: early in my career as a quarterback coach is if

933
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 11: you've got a quarterback that's earned the respect to give

934
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 11: his voice, then you listen to it. He's the guy

935
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 11: that's out there who's got to do it and problem

936
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 11: solved to get it done. And so we've we've always

937
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 11: made it a point to give Joe that voice and

938
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 11: he learned it really from day.

939
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 9: One when he got here, and.

940
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 11: So you're able to I thought he played well, but

941
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 11: to work through any issues. Sometimes there's gonna be some

942
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,360
Speaker 11: holes in the action, you know, or maybe you have

943
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 11: a three an hour or two and you need to

944
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 11: find a rhythm and you might have had this plan

945
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 11: you set in place to go do it, but hey, Joe,

946
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 11: what do you need to get us going here? And

947
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 11: he's always really good with the feedback.

948
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 3: On that concussion particle?

949
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 2: Does tea or any prior do they have to clear

950
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 2: it before they can be a full participate?

951
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 7: Yeah?

952
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 2: In practice?

953
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 5: Is that how that works?

954
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 9: Correct?

955
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 13: Jack had the word of the week, and the weather

956
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 13: here has presented some conditions that are I don't want

957
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 13: to say equivalent to what it will be like in Buffalo,

958
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:01,879
Speaker 13: but if closer maybe how much thought do you give

959
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 13: to taking advantage of that in the sense of exposing

960
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 13: your guys to it. I think it's like, I think

961
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 13: it's supposed to snow again this week, we ever consider

962
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 13: taking them out.

963
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 9: We're always very mindful.

964
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 11: I like to be outside every week, not every day necessarily,

965
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 11: but but you like to get at there some point.

966
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 11: I think it's I told our players great news, it's

967
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 11: gonna be cold and Buffalo and it's gonna be cold

968
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 11: here the next couple of days, and so they were

969
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 11: excited to hear that.

970
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 9: So we get a chance to get out there and

971
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 9: work in the.

972
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 11: Elements, and and so we're always very mindful of where

973
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 11: we're gonna play and how we need to practice and

974
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 11: like to get outside. The players like being outside at

975
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 11: least for part of the week, and I don't like

976
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 11: to be inside every day. If we can avoid it,

977
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:42,680
Speaker 11: sometimes you can't avoid it.

978
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 2: Why do you think the North is so wide open

979
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 2: this year?

980
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 9: I mean it's still it's still tough teams.

981
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,240
Speaker 11: I mean, I don't think anybody likes going into DAFC

982
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 11: North and playing any of the four of us. So

983
00:50:55,040 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 11: just I think it's well coached teams, top players, a

984
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 11: lot of experience, So it's always been a tough division.

985
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 11: Y'all are able to go out and get away on Sunday.

986
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 4: What kind of.

987
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 14: Momentum do you think this couldn't give you?

988
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 11: What y'all still happened, Fron the rest of the Our

989
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 11: biggest focus right now is just find a way to

990
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 11: beat Buffalo and take it from where of this from there,

991
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:16,720
Speaker 11: but right now.

992
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 9: That's really all that matters.

993
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 15: So it stands out about James Cook when you watch

994
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 15: him and how it's kind of evolved.

995
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, a lot of strengths. I think I can list

996
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 11: a lot of attributes that make him. He's got great

997
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,280
Speaker 11: patience and vision and quickness and acceleration and play strength.

998
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 11: So I mean, you can just go on and on

999
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 11: and name every intangible and physical.

1000
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 9: Trait you want a running back to have.

1001
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 2: He has it.

1002
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 11: A lot of confidence in the scheme I know from

1003
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 11: working with Aaron Kromer in the past their line coach.

1004
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 11: He does a great job and Joe Brady painting a

1005
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 11: vision for what they want in the run game and

1006
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 11: how it's supposed to be from a technique standpoint, we're

1007
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 11: supposed to hit and so you've seen back have success,

1008
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 11: you know, and so I don't think that's shocking. And

1009
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 11: it's not even just him. He's a great back, but

1010
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 11: the other backs get in there and do great jump

1011
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 11: as well.

1012
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 9: So really dangerous attack.

1013
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,760
Speaker 15: How challenging is it when you're dealing with an elite quarterback,

1014
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 15: but then you also have to deal with rushing attacks.

1015
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 11: It's why they've been one of the top offenses consistently

1016
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 11: over as long as I've been a head coach, heir,

1017
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 11: you know, And so they're they're they've got great talent,

1018
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 11: they're well coached, They've got a lot of confidence, and

1019
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 11: they can throw the ball, they can run the ball.

1020
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 9: They do a great jump you run.

1021
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 16: The defense is at right now you've talked about sort

1022
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,720
Speaker 16: of gradual provement generally, but specifically in that phase, there

1023
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 16: are things you're still looking for.

1024
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 11: Where do you think that group's just continue to grow

1025
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 11: and every week presents a new challenge.

1026
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 17: You know.

1027
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 11: It's you know, from Pittsburgh to Baltimore to Buffalo, and

1028
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 11: everything's got its unique challenges in terms of what players

1029
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 11: they're actually calling and how they're going to attack you

1030
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 11: different ways and so challenging. And then the quarterback. You know,

1031
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 11: they're not afraid to run the quarterback either, you know.

1032
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 11: So you get to you know, third in less than

1033
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 11: five and you might have a quarterback run coming at you.

1034
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 11: In the whole red zone, you got a quarterback run

1035
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 11: coming at you. So they're not afraid to do that.

1036
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 11: That's that's an extra half for them. That makes it

1037
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 11: really challenging when they're willing to do that. So again,

1038
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 11: our guys feel like they got a great point in place.

1039
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:07,919
Speaker 11: Now we just got to go execute it over the week.

1040
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 12: How does defending Josh Allen fit into your run defense?

1041
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 9: But it's.

1042
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 11: We play several quarterbacks that present challenge. They're outstanding throwers

1043
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 11: and really challenging runners, and so you have to be

1044
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 11: mindful when his progression's out there. He's not afraid to

1045
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 11: put his foot in the ground and go get it,

1046
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 11: you know, and and then try to run through people

1047
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 11: as well.

1048
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 9: So it's he's a challenge to deal with.

1049
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 12: I mean, I don't know if he can answer to this,

1050
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 12: but how often do you see on film where maybe

1051
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 12: his second or third progression is actually to run the ballwards?

1052
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 11: I think, No, he's I mean I've seen him get

1053
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 11: through every progression he's got, exhaust the entire thing, and

1054
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 11: standing back there and play quarterback. I think like like

1055
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 11: any quarterback that's got experienced like he does, they can

1056
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 11: identify the coverage very quickly and say okay, I can

1057
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 11: I can get one too and put go, you know,

1058
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,760
Speaker 11: and there's going to be avoid there. And other times

1059
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 11: they just know they got that innate feel of time

1060
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 11: in the pocket coverage where I don't need to run.

1061
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 11: I can sit back here and exhaust my progression. So

1062
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 11: he's got the experience to do all that, and it

1063
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 11: makes him really challenging.

1064
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 9: Mike Pearson's having a heck of a season.

1065
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 2: How has that impacted just the late call a managing game?

1066
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 11: I just I have a ton of confidence in them.

1067
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 11: I don't think it's overall affected a whole lot of

1068
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 11: decisions we've made.

1069
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 9: I really I don't.

1070
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 11: I mean, I just I have confidence in them. I

1071
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 11: can't think of one moment where it should we go

1072
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 11: for this, No, Evan's going to make a fifty something yarder.

1073
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 11: I don't feel like there's been that as many decisions

1074
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 11: as maybe past years. It just it feels that way.

1075
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,760
Speaker 11: Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe as I reflect back on the season,

1076
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 11: I'd have four good answers for you. But he's he's

1077
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 11: playing with a ton of confidence. You see it in

1078
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 11: practice too. I mean, that's what you all don't see,

1079
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 11: that he's doing this in practice. He's been doing this

1080
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 11: as training camp, the same consistency, and then going out

1081
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 11: there in the game and giving our team a lot

1082
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 11: of confidence.

1083
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 2: You're you're you're a good reader of games when.

1084
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 6: They're unfold unfold, they you ever get a sense, you know,

1085
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 6: like in Baltimore, this is going to be you know,

1086
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:18,760
Speaker 6: let's get points.

1087
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:19,359
Speaker 8: This is going to be.

1088
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 9: Or this is going to be going forward.

1089
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 11: I mean that's what it turned into. You don't always

1090
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 11: predict that, you know. I think a lot of times

1091
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 11: against Baltimore, you you always both teams are capable of scoring,

1092
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 11: and both teams can play their defense too, So you

1093
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:35,439
Speaker 11: gotta field as the game goes.

1094
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 9: And is there a point where you said, you know what, uh,

1095
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 9: let's get points.

1096
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think you know that second or third drive,

1097
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 11: our defense, you know, outside of the first drive, and

1098
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 11: they scored the touchdown and we've got some stops and

1099
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 11: and again I don't know that I did influence necessarily

1100
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 11: all the decisions, but you felt like, let's just keep

1101
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 11: taking points and building from there and our defense is

1102
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 11: playing well.

1103
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 5: What do you think it takes some young guys a

1104
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 5: little bit longer to realize how where the details are

1105
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 5: consistency is what? Do you think they just maybe clicked

1106
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 5: for some people later rather.

1107
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 9: Than That's a hard one to answer.

1108
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 11: I think it's probably pretty rare for a guy to

1109
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 11: come in his first year and just everything clicked for him.

1110
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:23,720
Speaker 11: And you know, I can't give you a great answer

1111
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 11: and why. It could be different positions, it could be

1112
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 11: different personalities, it could be a different college experience. It

1113
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 11: could be a guy that transferred didn't transfer. But I

1114
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 11: can think examples of all of them, of guys that

1115
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 11: succeeded and didn't and they all have different backgrounds.

1116
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 9: So I don't know's.

1117
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 11: I like to think as they get more experience on

1118
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 11: the field with us, then they got a better chance

1119
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 11: of succeeding. And so we've tried to give guys that

1120
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 11: experience to keep learning and keep gaining. And there's gonna

1121
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 11: be mistakes made. I've said that in here a million times,

1122
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 11: but you keep seeing guys just continue to grow and

1123
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 11: get better, and they've got that opportunity. And I don't

1124
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 11: think that they fear failure with us. I don't think

1125
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 11: that they feel like if I go in there make

1126
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 11: a mistake, I'm done.

1127
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:02,799
Speaker 9: They're they're going to be done with me. That's not

1128
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 9: really the approach we have.

1129
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 11: We we like to keep coaching through it and coaching

1130
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 11: a in a We're gonna be critical of mistakes you make.

1131
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 11: At the same time, be positive and encourage the growth.

1132
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 11: And again not not like guys just fear of failure

1133
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 11: that we're not I'm not going to get to see

1134
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 11: a field.

1135
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 5: Again for you, because obviously there's a lot of pressure

1136
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 5: on you as well as I head coach and coaching

1137
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 5: staff when things don't go well, how do you kind of.

1138
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 9: You just do what's right.

1139
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 11: I don't worry about the pressure it's on me. You

1140
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 11: just you make the right decision for the program. And

1141
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 11: and as long as you're just making those decisions, then

1142
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 11: then I like to think more times than not, the

1143
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 11: best case know is going to play off for you.

1144
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 11: So it's tremendous uh leadership, experience, energy.

1145
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 9: He's just done a great job.

1146
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 11: He's he's really a really good example of that room

1147
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 11: because I think you're going to describe every player in

1148
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 11: that room the same way, and so for Dalton to

1149
00:57:55,480 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 11: be the last added peace to that. He just has

1150
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 11: walked in the door and fit right in. And I'm

1151
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 11: really happy we have him, have enjoyed him being around

1152
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 11: and enjoyed the role he's playing for us. But I

1153
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 11: think he's he's just a great example of what that

1154
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 11: old line room really is. And it's all great personalities,

1155
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 11: Guys that love football, guys that really understand have a

1156
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 11: high football IQ.

1157
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 9: And so it's a good group to be around.

1158
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 15: The December run, if it's going to happen, it's going

1159
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 15: to fall on the offensive line at least to a degree.

1160
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 2: You want to run game.

1161
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 9: Go on, you want to protect Joe.

1162
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 15: How confident are you in just that group and how

1163
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 15: they've kind of become what they are now.

1164
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 9: A lot of confidence. They have a lot of confidence.

1165
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 11: I think the offensive we've got a lot of confidence

1166
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 11: in them. The team's got a lot of confidence in them.

1167
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 11: They played well, but again it's it's the preaching to

1168
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 11: the whole team right now. It doesn't matter what we

1169
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 11: did last week. We got to keep doing it over

1170
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 11: and over again.

1171
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 4: And so.

1172
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 11: We can't just assume because we did some good things

1173
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 11: on Thursday night that that's going to cry over Sunday.

1174
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 11: Our guys understand that. I think that's why we've always

1175
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 11: kind of been strong later in the season. Our guys

1176
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 11: have had a great approach at and this year's a

1177
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 11: new year and we're gonna have to do the same approach.

1178
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 15: Fits was talking about Dolphin's intangibles and he pointed out

1179
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 15: that he's always the first one at the spot attack

1180
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 15: with helping the guy up.

1181
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 2: When you were playing quarterback, how much did you take

1182
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 2: note of that?

1183
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 8: Who who was there? Oh? Yeah?

1184
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 11: Now you feel that guys that take a lot of

1185
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,919
Speaker 11: pride in protecting the guys behind him. And whether that's

1186
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 11: backs receivers, picking up receivers down the field, or being

1187
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 11: the first one to pick up the quarterback, you know it's.

1188
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 13: You.

1189
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 11: You You like a guy that that's got that protective

1190
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 11: nature to him and covered down the field is how

1191
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 11: we define that, and I think Dalton is a great

1192
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 11: example of that.

1193
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 12: Closely monitor got rookie like Jalon Rivers seemed to be

1194
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 12: making a lot of progress and you make that change

1195
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 12: dong with Scott.

1196
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 11: I think part of the Jalen's I mean, Jalen got

1197
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 11: banged up and so it was that's what led to

1198
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 11: the change. Jaln's got a tremendous mindset, so I don't

1199
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 11: worry about him. He's making great progress this year. I

1200
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 11: got a lot of confidence in him. He's going to

1201
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 11: get a ton of opportunity, so that that's not a

1202
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 11: concern of mine just because of who he is and

1203
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 11: kind of the work he's put in to get where

1204
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 11: he's at.

1205
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 9: He played tackle for us.

1206
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 11: Early in the year, then we moved in the guard

1207
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 11: and he's handled all that really well, and so I

1208
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 11: think he's.

1209
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 9: He's a guy that.

1210
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 11: Is going to play big role for us.

1211
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 5: He's similar with Buffalo.

1212
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean there's certainly plays and concepts that show up.

1213
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 11: I think, you know, they they suited around their quarterback.

1214
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 11: We suit ours around our quarterback, and and they're both

1215
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 11: really talented quarterbacks. To say they have different place styles,

1216
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 11: there's a lot of similarities that they have, and then

1217
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 11: there's some differences. I'm not going to get into all

1218
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 11: of them, but so I think that they do what's

1219
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 11: best for their offense led by their quarterback, and we

1220
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 11: do what's best for our offense led by our quarterback.

1221
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 5: What's the biggest impact you think Scott Peters has had

1222
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 5: on the offensive line room this year.

1223
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 11: I think he's done a great job getting the best

1224
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 11: out of all these guys. The development of the young players.

1225
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 11: We've had several young players come in and play, and

1226
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 11: I think they've only gotten better. I think as as

1227
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 11: our line as a whole, it's a really cohesive unit

1228
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 11: that's improved overall from top to bottom.

1229
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 9: So I'm I think he's done a really good job

1230
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 9: Ken since the finals, for the whole of the year time.

1231
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 11: I know he's been in before, but ye, your interaction tremendous.

1232
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 11: A huge fan of Ken Anderson. He's He's always been

1233
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 11: great to me, through good times and bad. He's an

1234
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 11: example of a guy, you know, when we've struggled, who

1235
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 11: was there still supporting me, genuinely supporting me and our

1236
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 11: team and the direction we're headed. And so you you really,

1237
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 11: I genuinely appreciate people like that. Ken and I have

1238
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 11: always had a great relationship through his foundation, through him

1239
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 11: just coming to practice, through text messages, and so I

1240
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 11: I have done my own research. I mean, he absolutely

1241
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 11: should have been in the Hall of Fame a long

1242
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 11: time ago.

1243
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 9: He should absolutely be in now.

1244
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 11: I mean statistically he's he's in a better position than

1245
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 11: a lot of people that are in it. You know,

1246
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 11: NFL MVP and of the Year, let his team to

1247
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 11: Super Bowl.

1248
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 9: I mean, all all the.

1249
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 11: Great perform at the completion percentage, everything he's done, statistically

1250
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 11: should he should be in there right now. So this

1251
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 11: year is the year he absolutely absolutely should be in it.

1252
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 11: If he's not, then it's it's a shame. Do you

1253
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 11: see him as a guy that can be Well, I'm

1254
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 11: not going to pretend like I've dug through all his

1255
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 11: tape and washed it all, but I just know statistically,

1256
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 11: when you look at how he played, I mean, and

1257
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 11: then people that are in you know, it's just he

1258
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 11: deserves to be in absolutely and so and he did it.

1259
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 11: He did it over a long period of time. I mean,

1260
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 11: he did it over a really long period of time.

1261
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 11: So look forward to see him get in there.

1262
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 18: SAX and Anderson playing first state championships the next couple

1263
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 18: of days.

1264
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 13: Will you need to pulling for both those?

1265
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 9: Absolutely? Yeah.

1266
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 11: You know Travis Bramer, his son played at Anderson last year,

1267
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 11: so I know he still goes a lot of the games.

1268
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 11: And I've been following Anderson all year. They have a

1269
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 11: tremendents team, and I think they're playing the same team

1270
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 11: they played last year if I'm not mistaken. I know

1271
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 11: they're proximate five fifty three am this year. Seven minutes earlier.

1272
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 11: I saw that, So, uh, definitely pulling for Anderson, Definitely

1273
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 11: pulling for Saint X. You know, got a lot of

1274
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 11: people that I know that are there, and so two

1275
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 11: great nights of football, you know, Thursday and Friday. And

1276
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 11: I hope I'm not missing anybody else in the area,

1277
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 11: but those are two teams that I feel like I've

1278
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 11: I've really followed over the last couple of years, and

1279
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 11: great football coming from the Cincinnati area.

1280
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 9: So it be fun to watch.

1281
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 19: Tight End position is big in the in the in

1282
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 19: the NFL. It's gotn big back again. Both these teams

1283
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 19: have good tight ends and a strong position group. What

1284
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 19: do you think about Buffalo's tight ends? What are their strengths?

1285
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, good group. I think they compliment each other really well.

1286
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 11: You know, the group of guys that they have. I know,

1287
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 11: Kid's been out, He's always been a guy that we've

1288
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 11: been a big fan have. Again, they've got good depth there.

1289
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 11: Those guys all understand their role. They've gotten a lot

1290
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 11: out of that position and just.

1291
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 2: Like we have.

1292
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 11: You know, I think we've always James Casey, I've always

1293
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 11: said this is the best Titan coaching the NFL and

1294
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 11: does a great job developing getting the most out of

1295
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 11: guys that we have, whether they were guys that have

1296
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 11: been here throughout for guys that we added in the

1297
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 11: free agency, you know, they've They've always had their top

1298
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 11: years playing for James, and so I think it's it's

1299
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 11: two teams that are well coached that position, and I've

1300
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 11: gotten a lot of value out of those guys.

1301
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 9: Okay, thank you, all right.

1302
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 2: That is Zach Taylor, just finishing up speaking with the

1303
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 2: media at pay Course Stadium. I did see that as well.

1304
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 2: Austin the Anderson Raptors. They lost by seven in the

1305
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 2: state finals last year. They have practiced every day at

1306
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 2: five fifty three am, seven minutes early to make up

1307
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 2: for the seven points they lost by and they get

1308
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 2: a chance at retribution this weekend.

1309
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 3: It's also very rare to see a high school football

1310
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 3: team practice in the morning. Yeah, almost never happens, yep.

1311
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 3: I I do think that's a unique and a cool

1312
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 3: wrinkle about about Anderson. I'm blanking on their head coach's name,

1313
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 3: but he was on with with Eddie and Rocky down

1314
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 3: the whole a couple of weeks ago, and just the

1315
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 3: energy he attacked a phone call with was awesome.

1316
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. So pursuit of a championship, aggressive pursuit of a championship. Yeah, yeah,

1317
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 2: I agree. I wish I knew his name. I feel bad.

1318
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 2: I there's there's a lot of normal stuff there from

1319
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 2: from Zach Taylor. I don't think any of that was,

1320
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 2: you know, earth chattering. There's one thing I want to ask.

1321
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 2: It's almost now like Zach has put off with the

1322
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson thing. Yeah, at this point, with no other understanding,

1323
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 2: what are we led to believe about what's going on

1324
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 2: with Trey Hendrickson and the Bengals. I think we're led

1325
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 2: to believe that we don't know all the details. There's

1326
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 2: got to be some there, right, this is what is

1327
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 2: If not, then he's just he's just essentially saying I'm done.

1328
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 2: This is what I come back to.

1329
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 3: If they knew that his injury was going to keep

1330
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 3: him out this long, correct, they would have put him

1331
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 3: on the injured list, on the injured reserve like every

1332
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 3: other team in the NFL, and designated him to return,

1333
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 3: opened up a roster spot. And so I don't know

1334
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 3: what's going on, but the information we can gather, if

1335
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 3: the team did not take that action, that would lead

1336
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 3: you to believe that they think the injury should be

1337
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 3: healed by now, or that he would be able to

1338
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 3: play by now, and not putting him on the injured

1339
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 3: reserve list and the way that Zach has talked about

1340
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 3: it each of the last couple of weeks leaves the

1341
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 3: door open to the idea that we're just on Trey's

1342
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 3: timeline and until he's ready to play, we don't know

1343
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 3: what's going to happen. Yeah, and the part he said

1344
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 3: the other day, and I talked about this when you

1345
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 3: were out yesterday, like the first thirty seconds of his

1346
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 3: press conference, where he was kind of cutting off reporters

1347
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 3: and just kind of seem miffed by the whole thing,

1348
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 3: that to me is the most indicative.

1349
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 2: Yes, And again, you don't want to you don't want

1350
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 2: to assume you don't. This is just literally taking the

1351
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 2: knowledge and the information that we can see on the outside. Yeah.

1352
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 3: I don't think it's outrageous to say that there are

1353
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 3: people in the Bengals organization that think he is healthy

1354
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 3: enough or should be healthy enough to play.

1355
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1356
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 3: I don't think that that would be an over the

1357
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 3: moon statement, And I think these actions would lend to

1358
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 3: me believing that.

1359
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. One other quick update from National Signing Day? Have

1360
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 2: you seen this with Chris Henry that he signed with

1361
01:07:56,760 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 2: the Buckeyes. He did not shut up. He has not

1362
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 2: sent in his paperwork yet. This was on the top

1363
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 2: McAfee reporter a couple of minutes ago. CBS we trust

1364
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 2: that CBS Sports College Football is actually discussing this right

1365
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 2: now with two four seven Sports that he is weighing options.

1366
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 2: According to him at both Oregon and USC it's not

1367
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 2: a money thing. With Chris Henry Jr. It's clearly a

1368
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 2: Brian Hartline thing and he wants to make sure that

1369
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 2: he's making the right decision. So as of now, does

1370
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 2: not appear that it's officially signed from Chris Henry Junior

1371
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:35,120
Speaker 2: yet at Ohio State. Something to watch for, maybe Scott

1372
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 2: Saderfield makes a run at him. Your talkbacks are next.

1373

Speaker 2: ESBN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Stations ruined.

01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 2: audience that we have here on ESPN fifteen thirty. I

1385
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 2: don't think talkbacks could happen on the other station. Oh no,

1386
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 2: they absolutely cannot. We're lucky and we're thankful. I mean,

1387
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 2: you want to talk about awful.

1388
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 3: I've heard terrible, I've heard vile things. The talkbacks down

1389
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:42,879
Speaker 3: the hall. We would lose the license in seconds second.

1390
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 21: It's the Lord Happy hump days.

1391
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 2: Lord couldn't save us either.

1392
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 21: Have a start bench cut for you, Tony and Austin,

1393
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 21: and for talkback nations.

1394
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 2: Okay?

1395
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:58,919
Speaker 21: Christmas villains, Oh, Scrooge, O, the Grinch, Jack.

1396
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 2: Frost Man, that's good. I think the best villain was Scrooge,

1397
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 2: and it made the ending so much better when he

1398
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:12,800
Speaker 2: wakes up after his third visit and a tone for

1399
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 2: all the wrong he's done. I think you can make

1400
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 2: the same argument for the Grinch. I'll start Scrooge, i

1401
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 2: will bench the Grinch, and I'll cut Jack frost Is

1402
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 2: there any such thing as an actual Christmas villain? Great question?

1403
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,600
Speaker 3: They all change at the end. Is there one that

1404
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:29,719
Speaker 3: doesn't change out there? I'll start the Grinch bench Scrooge,

1405
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 3: and I honestly don't know that much about old Jack

1406
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 3: Frost other than he's been nipping at my nose.

1407
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 22: Tony and Austin, this is big kahuna in Kentucky. Hey,

1408
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:39,599
Speaker 22: Bengal fans, I got some bad news for you. Y'all

1410
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,720
Speaker 22: I'm sorry. You know why because for some reason the

1411
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,439
Speaker 22: team done moved on from Cave york In. That good

1412
01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 22: luck charm was five and zero last year. That's some

1413
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 22: bad karma right there. Should have kept him. Hey, Steeler fans,

1414
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 22: don't be booing future Hall of Famer Mike Tomlin. Don't

1415
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 22: boo sticks, don't do renegade.

1416
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:58,639
Speaker 18: What you should do is boo yourselves.

1417
01:10:58,680 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 8: Do it.

1418
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 2: Put down that triple the mirror and say boo. And

1419
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 2: while you're at it, go boo your mother.

1420
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 3: Oh, hezel to Austin, that's a pretty good kahuna impression.

1421
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 2: A quick Google search you come up with the following.

1422
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 2: Scott Farcas, who he was the bully? And Chris say that, yes,

1423
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 2: Scott Farcas Christmas story bully. We don't like bullies around here.

1424
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 2: Harry Marv They never really had toned for anything. They

1425
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 2: were villains. They got what was coming to him. Hans

1426
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 2: Gruber from Die Hard Okay could fall in the same category.

1427
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 3: What about Kevin's brother Buzz Buzz was a bully too,

1428
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 3: he did you know you could bully him?

1429
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 2: Oogie Boogie once kidnapped Sannah. What'd you call him Ugie Boogie?

1430
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:40,679
Speaker 4: Oh?

1431
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 2: I always called him Ugie Boogie. Oh maybe it ugi Boogie,

1432
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:46,759
Speaker 2: Ugie Boogie Ooki Boogie.

1433
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 23: The only bad thing about listening to fifteen thirty is

1434
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 23: having to listen to the Chris Canty promos. You know

1435
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 23: that's not even his full name. His real name is

1436
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 23: Chris Canty.

1437
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 5: Shut the hell up, Wow, go Muskies.

1438
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:05,799
Speaker 2: Can't He's actually been nice to the Bengals. He has,

1439
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 2: He's changed.

1440
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 14: Former President Ronald Reagan and Whale. I wouldn't get too

1441
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 14: excited about Kyle Schwarber coming to Cincinnati. I mean, I

1442
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 14: don't know if he has any connections here or not.

1443
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 14: I don't even know where he's from. But it's not

1444
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:21,600
Speaker 14: like he's Hello.

1445
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 2: Hello, true. He is from Middletown, though.

1446
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 24: Forms to Brian Hartline, that's a well deserved opportunity and

1447
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 24: as far as Kyle Schwarber to the Reds in the

1448
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 24: words of Michael Scott, no doubt about it. I'm ready

1449
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 24: to get hurt again.

1450
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 2: No doubt about it, no doubt about it.

1451
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:49,599
Speaker 3: I think it's more applicable to to Scott's tots, Nick

1452
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,759
Speaker 3: Crawl is Michael Scott.

1453
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 2: Have you did you have a chance over the break

1454

01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 3: News and hope it goes away, okay, and hope the

1468
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,559

01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,360

1470
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 2: get an understanding of it. That's just another one that

1471
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:39,719
Speaker 2: John Cunningham just absolutely nailed high energy how Wi.

1472
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:46,759
Speaker 25: Field, Williams, Darnell Burton, Jonte vaugh and the amazing Lazelle Durton.

1473
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 25: I missed the days when an open shooter is gonna

1474
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 25: knock down that three, six, seven threes a game consistent

1475
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 25: when you played it ranked opponent. Your thoughts, you're gonna

1476
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:03,559
Speaker 25: eat them. Yep, not anymore, man, I missed those days.

1477
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:05,559
Speaker 2: I'll tell you.

1478
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 3: From all the basketball I watch, usually when three point

1479
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 3: shooters are left open, they do make the shot.

1480
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,559
Speaker 2: You need to make your shots, and you're you, guys,

1481
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 2: well the cast the losers have been in charge of

1482
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:19,599
Speaker 2: this Red's team for twenty years.

1483
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 26: Run this organization into the ground. They've stomped on the traditions,

1484
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 26: the rich history of this I think they're finally starting

1485
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 26: to feel the heat from the fan base.

1486
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 2: I hope they are.

1487
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 26: I hope they feel like they have to sign Kyle Schwarber,

1488
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:40,559
Speaker 26: and I hope it gets done.

1489

01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:49,719

1494
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:54,720

Speaker 27: money and bet the money line every single time from

1497
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 27: here until they're After the end of this week, you

1498
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,120

1499
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 27: to thirty two.

1500
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,040

Speaker 27: You're already at your value there, So keep doubling up, boys, let's.

01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 29: while we were watching the first two parts of The Godfather. Wow,

Speaker 4: Oh it's a Christmas movie.

1509
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,320
Speaker 2: I don't think I view it as a Christmas movie.

1510
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 2: But I also don't view Harry Potter as a Christmas

1511
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 2: movie while others do because it was filmed during like

1512
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 2: Christmas time, like there's Christmas trees and Christmas break and

1513
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 2: all that. I still view it as a Christmas movie

1514
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 2: just because of that. I've never seen The Godfather.

1536
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:56,160
Speaker 30: the playoffs.

1537
01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 2: So whoday, go Reds. And I guess, Oh no, he

1538
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 2: didn't even get it in he said. I guess, I guess.

1539
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 31: Man, Hey, Tony, I heard you announce on the radio

1540
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 31: today that you were going to the Christmas party. That's

1541
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 31: kind of surprising. I didn't think new employees within the

1542
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 31: first ninety days as they were new hire where we're

1543
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 31: allowed to gourty.

1544
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 2: That's valid point.

1545
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 3: You should well, you should put a name tag on tonight. Hi,

1546
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm Tony, Tony.

1547
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:25,880
Speaker 2: Good to eat you. I've been there a couple months,

1548
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 2: talasst guy in the room, been there a couple of months.

1549
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 2: How are you you know something?

1550
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:31,360
Speaker 16: When I was growing up the Cross Town Shoot, I

1551
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 16: was very special.

1552
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,680
Speaker 3: You actually have to do that to a couple of

1553
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 3: our people, folks. Just reintroduce yourself me.

1554
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 10: You know something.

1555
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:42,439
Speaker 16: When I was growing up the Cross Town Shoot, I

1556
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 16: was very special.

1557
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 2: Yep. He used to shut down the city.

1558
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 16: I can remember getting the Cincinnati Inquiry or the Cincinnati Post.

1559
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,679
Speaker 2: Goes straight to the sports section article and just read

1560
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 2: about UC and Xavier.

1561
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 16: Yes, sitting here wondering, man, how my Bearcat's gonna beat

1562
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 16: the Musketeers, and we already know what town was gonna

1563
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 16: be on. He was either on on nine or Channel nineteen.

1564
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 16: That's how it was back then. It had significant meaning.

1565
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,639
Speaker 16: Now it's a rider with no meaning on a load

1566
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 16: you see by ten.

1567
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 2: I also, I've said this before, I think that the

1568
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 2: new age of sports hurts it as well. You don't

1569
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 2: have guys that have been in the rivalry for three

1570
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,680
Speaker 2: or four years that see it and build up to it.

1571
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 2: You got guys that have been in Cincinnati a couple months,

1572
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 2: and that takes away from it as well. And both

1573
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:26,479
Speaker 2: teams are not very good.

1574
01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 18: Afternoon boys, Austin, you were supposed to be in charge

1575
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 18: of keeping track and checking your boy Tony. He just

1576
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,600
Speaker 18: quoted from an article saying it would be quite the

1577
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,080
Speaker 18: coupe if the Reds could get Schwarber.

1578
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:40,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1579
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:43,679
Speaker 18: I was waiting for you to chime in and tell

1580
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 18: them that that is not proper use of the wordage.

1581
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 18: So we're gonna need you to step up your game.

1582
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 2: Son. Yeah. There gets to a point everyone's life where

1583
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 2: you just try enough and you give up.

1584
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:57,720
Speaker 3: I do appreciate you calling me out, and I want that.

1585
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 3: That being said, I have tried sometimes long times with

1586
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 3: Tony and it goes in one ear and out the other. Ye,

1587
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 3: And so I've given up.

1588
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 2: Yep.

1589
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 3: And you know, if he wants to make a fool

1590
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 3: of himself. Thank you's you go right ahead?

1591
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 2: Thank you? Doesn't matter if he gets fired, he gets rehired.

1592
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 2: One's doing well today.

1593
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 32: Question for you, fellas, who plays another snap first the

1594
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 32: rest of the season.

1595
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 2: Jamar Stewart or Trey Henderson Stewart. I don't think Trey

1596
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:28,719
Speaker 2: will ever play again. For the things.

1597
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,800
Speaker 33: I don't know how much you pay attention to the

1598
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 33: online chatter, but there's a pretty funny thing going on

1599
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 33: right now. And I don't understand the NFL's dress code

1600
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 33: rules and all that, but the idea of the Bengals

1601
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 33: going ninja mode and wearing all white if there's snow

1602
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 33: in Buffalo, I find pretty dang funny.

1603
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 2: Is that a thing?

1604
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 3: All that stuff has to be announced ahead of time.

1605
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 3: So my understanding is how it works is that the

1606
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 3: teams submit what uniforms they want to wear for each

1607
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 3: game in June, and then between June and the start

1608
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 3: of the regular season, it's all ironed out. You know,

1609
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 3: if a team wants if the Bengals want to wear

1610
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 3: all white at home, then the other team will wear

1611
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 3: their dark uniform and blah blah blah blah blah. So

1612
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 3: the Bengals have known that they're gonna wear the all

1613
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:22,640
Speaker 3: white jersey and pants combination for a while.

1614
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:23,599
Speaker 2: I would think.

1615
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:26,720
Speaker 3: Now, I do think that the pants are decided on

1616
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 3: like the week of for the most part, but the

1617
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 3: other stuff has to be submitted to the league previously.

1618
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 3: So actually, the Bengals are wearing their orange helmets, so

1619
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,679
Speaker 3: they're not wearing the white helmets this week. They're wearing

1620
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 3: their white jerseys with white pants and the black socks.

1621
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 3: Here's what's interesting about that. The Bengals have not worn

1622
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 3: that combination in back to back regular season games since

1623
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 3: they got the new uniforms. The only time in the

1624
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,920
Speaker 3: history of these new uniforms twenty twenty one on that

1625
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 3: they have worn this exact combination the exact same in

1626
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 3: back to back games was the twenty twenty one playoffs

1627
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 3: when they were at Tennessee and at Kansas City in

1628
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 3: the Divisional round in the AFC Championship Game.

1629
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 34: Okay, hey, the top ranking Tony in Austin. Tony, congratulations

1630
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 34: on sixth nationally from Awful Announcing on Best College Duo

1631
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 34: Announcer broadcast does Austin. If I was you, I would

1632
01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 34: take Tony to a nice dinner to celebrate.

1633
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 2: Now, that reminds me, for whatever reason, of that voice. Austin.

1634
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 3: Also, I think they wore them back to back in

1635
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 3: the twenty two playoffs as well, which would have been

1636
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 3: the win in Buffalo and then the AFC Championship game

1637
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 3: in Kansas City, So back to back postseasons.

1638
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Tony continued. Did you hear yesterday at all

1639
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:55,719
Speaker 2: from George from the Valley?

1640
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 8: No?

1641
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,719
Speaker 3: Okay, he ain't got the guts to show up. Okay,

1642
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:01,520
Speaker 3: we haven't talked about this so that you're number six.

1643
01:22:01,479 --> 01:22:05,840
Speaker 2: Number six, Big Time, number one in the Big twelve,

1644
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 2: number one in the Big twelve. Yeah, nationally. No, I'm

1645
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 2: not taking Tony out to a nice dinner.

1646
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 3: He's the one who makes the big bucks. Dan Horse,

1647
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I think Tony needs to take

1648
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:19,559
Speaker 3: Dan out the day. Yeah, I'm just and Ben Jarvis

1649
01:22:19,640 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 3: brad ellis, Oh man.

1650
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 21: It's the Lord doing a double dip. I didn't get

1651
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:28,879
Speaker 21: to hear Zach Taylor's press conference. Oh what's the latest

1652
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:29,799
Speaker 21: on Tea Higgins?

1653
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 3: Guy just exists without the Internet. God, would I appreciate

1654
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. Yeah, you're supposed to be omnipotent. He's limited.

1655
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 5: Okay, Boys get one.

1656
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 30: Christmas or Bengals make the playoffs.

1657
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 2: Bengals, Reds, The rest of the Reds are not that.

1658
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 2: If it's like Bengals to the super Bowl, then yes.

1659
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 2: If the Bengals get and losing the first round, I'm

1660
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 2: still taking Swarbur.

1661
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 3: That's not the question. It is do they make the

1662
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 3: playoffs or do the Reds get Kylee Swarber.

1663
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 2: I think I'll take Swarburg.

1664
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 3: Do you think if the Bengals make the playoffs in

1665
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 3: a potentially a playoff situation without Patrick Mahomes and without

1666
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, you betting against the Bengals an the AFC? No, Okay, no,

1667
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 3: but that would mean that they would get back to

1668
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 3: the super Bowl.

1669
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 2: But I think that the Reds are a playoff team

1670
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 2: and a contender with.

1671
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:30,559
Speaker 3: Why do you think that they have no relievers at

1672
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:32,879
Speaker 3: the moment they can add relievers, still have money left.

1673
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 2: They know they won't. Yeah, it's a good question though, Bengals. Okay,

1674
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 2: just a reminder, Bearcats eight right, there we have days

1675
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:46,880
Speaker 2: and there we go in center. Well said not so

1676
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 2: fun when the Rabbits got the gun hunt, Tom, that's

1677
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:50,800
Speaker 2: true I can say about that.

1678
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 35: Yeah, I wanted to ask you guys something. Do either

1679
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:57,600
Speaker 35: one of you guys ever watch like high school or

1680
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 35: college wrestling. We have some of the best in the

1681
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 35: country just in this area, just like it is just

1682
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,600
Speaker 35: like football. And if you guys get a chance to

1683
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 35: go out and support a local high school, I think

1684
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 35: you would be impressed about just the camaraderie and that

1685
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 35: in that whole.

1686
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:17,160
Speaker 2: Community of wrestlers. So if you get a chance, go

1687
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 2: out and check it out. I have not gotten in.

1688
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 2: I know that under Dick Engles, toute legit reading. Reading

1689
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:26,799
Speaker 2: was always a contender in wrestling. I remember the Charlie

1690
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:29,600
Speaker 2: Moore Invitational happened all the time. I would always go

1691
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:31,840
Speaker 2: up to the Charlie more Invitational and check things out.

1692
01:24:32,120 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 2: Reading coach actually wanted me to come out for wrestling

1693
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 2: at one point because he said I was gangly. Gangs

1694
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 2: turned gangly. That means long arms, long legs. He said,

1695
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 2: I'd have been tough to get to. Yep, it'd have

1696
01:24:41,920 --> 01:24:44,000
Speaker 2: been tough to get to. But I played basketball instead

1697
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 2: played I don't know if really didn't play.

1698
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 4: That I play.

1699
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 17: Totally agree with you guys, you got to get the

1700
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 17: Schwarmer thing done. Trade Brady Singer and another one of

1701
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 17: the arbitration eligible guys to free up your money. It's

1702
01:24:55,960 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 17: about fifteen sixteen million. Trade those guys off. Time for

1703
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,080
Speaker 17: the young guys Chase Burns and Rett Louder to be

1704
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 17: in the rotation. Anyway, Love what Brady Singer did, but

1705
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 17: that's the move you need to make. The free up

1706
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 17: the cash if you truly can't go above that twenty million.

1707
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 17: That's what they need to do. And I have it

1708
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 17: on good authority, Big Kahunah and Kentucky. If he hasn't

1709
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,759
Speaker 17: already chimed in, he will clap back tomorrow.

1710
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 3: No Kahuna really, he really doesn't need to leave. No

1711
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:22,000
Speaker 3: more talkbacks like ever again, come.

1712
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 2: On bray it. But yeah, all right, that's it.

1713
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 8: Was it.

1714
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 2: Football in the NATI is next. We'll talk to some

1715
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 2: college hoops and out come in yet, Chris Henry, take

1716

Speaker 2: Wait five one three, seven four nine fifteen thirty. Yeah,

1718
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 2: that's right on the whole. How many times you say

1719
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 2: that last night? Say fifteen thirty? Just once? Second time?

1720
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 2: Going to break? First time I was so locked in

1721
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 2: on the number. Second break, I gave the wrong one.

1722
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 2: But at seven four nine, fifteen thirty, give us a call.

1723
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you an hour number three on ESPN

1724
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:57,479
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.

1725
01:25:57,960 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 10: From the courts in.

1726
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:03,120
Speaker 1: The NATI, grutch you in part by Bud Light and

1727
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 1: by Oakley Greens on ESPN fifteen thirty, the official home

1728
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: of the Cincinnati Bengals.

1729
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 2: All right, it is football in the NATI. Welcome back,

1730
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. It happened last night, Austin.

1731
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 2: Let's take a few minutes an update and discuss a

1732
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 2: couple of the storylines surrounding the college football playoff rankings.

1733
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,679
Speaker 2: It was a final regular season rankings. Obviously, Championship weekend

1734
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 2: happens this coming weekend Friday and Saturday. But with that,

1735
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 2: no change at the top. Ohio State Indiana remained number

1736
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 2: one and number two. Now Texas A and M's loss

1737
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,760
Speaker 2: has shifted some things. Texas A and M drops from

1738
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:48,759
Speaker 2: three to seven, which means Georgia moves up to three,

1739
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 2: Texas Tech moves up to four, Oregon moves up to five,

1740
01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 2: and Old Miss without a head coach moves up to

1741
01:26:55,520 --> 01:27:03,719
Speaker 2: number six. Oklahoma stayed at number eight, and the interesting

1742
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:09,679
Speaker 2: thing is Alabama has jumped Notre Dame, so Notre Dame

1743
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 2: falls from nine to ten, Bama goes from ten to nine,

1744
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 2: BYU is eleven, Miami is twelve, Texas is thirteen, and

1745
01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:21,000
Speaker 2: then after that. I don't think it really matters much.

1746
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 2: A couple of the talking points here Austin, a lot

1747
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:27,760
Speaker 2: of people trying to make a case for Texas. I

1748
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 2: don't think Texas has a path. They have three losses.

1749
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 2: A lot of people are making a case from Miami.

1750
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:35,559
Speaker 2: The case from Miami, Austin to me is a little

1751
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:39,840
Speaker 2: bit different because Miami is at twelve. Their regular season

1752
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:42,280
Speaker 2: is over, They're not playing for a conference title game.

1753
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 2: But while losing to Louisville and SMU, Miami did have

1754
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 2: a head to head win against Notre Dame. How much

1755
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 2: should that factor into the college football playoff rankings knowing

1756
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:54,599
Speaker 2: that the Notre Dame game was the very first game

1757
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:57,840
Speaker 2: of the season. Since then again, Miami has slipped up

1758
01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 2: against teams that are both no longer ranked or I'm sorry,

1759
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:03,120
Speaker 2: Miami has slipped up against teams that are no longer ranked.

1760
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:06,720
Speaker 2: Does Miami have a case to be angry being at

1761
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 2: twelve on Notre Dame is at ten.

1762
01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 3: I guess it really just depends on who you lost

1763
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:19,160
Speaker 3: to and how the committee views those teams. Yeah, that's

1764
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 3: ultimately I guess what is the deciding factor?

1765
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 2: Now?

1766
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 3: If they were ten and eleven and Miami is number eleven,

1767
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 3: I would I would say that's wrong. Sure, but clearly

1768
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 3: the other losses for Miami, which are who I don't

1769
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:36,640
Speaker 3: even know.

1770
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 2: Miami lost to Louisville and SMU, neither team is ranked.

1771
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:43,640
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's losses were to Miami, into Texas A and

1772
01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 2: m Yeah, so the first two games of the year,

1773
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 2: and they've since won ten straight games. Yeah, those are

1774
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 2: better losses than Miami has wins. Right, that is correct,

1775
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,679
Speaker 2: and Notre Dame I guess that they've won ten games

1776
01:28:56,720 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 2: in a row. So I get the back and forth

1777
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 2: a big twelve dynamic that I think is interesting knowing

1778
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 2: what we know Austin and seeing the teams that are

1779
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 2: kind of on the outside looking in, and that the

1780
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 2: top doesn't matter because you're still gonna have two automatic

1781
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 2: bids that are taking up this weekend as well, so

1782
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:18,640
Speaker 2: the top, you know, you're still gonna have teams on

1783
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:20,519
Speaker 2: the outside looking in. That a lot of people feel

1784
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 2: are deserving. BYU is an interesting one because they're at

1785
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:28,080
Speaker 2: number eleven. They play Texas Tech. Is there a scenario

1786
01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:31,240
Speaker 2: Austin where you could see Texas Tech going from number

1787
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 2: four to out of the playoff if they lose to BYU.

1788
01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 2: I wouldn't think so. So the Big Twelve could essentially

1789
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:41,800
Speaker 2: steal a second bid If BYU beats Texas Tech. I

1790
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 2: think the Big Twelve is a two bid league Texas Tech.

1791
01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:47,920
Speaker 2: Caase takes care of BYU, then it doesn't matter. But

1792
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 2: what I do think is interesting when you look at

1793
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 2: championship weekend Austin, Oklahoma's not playing football this weekend, Texas

1794
01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:57,760
Speaker 2: A and M is not playing football this weekend. Old

1795
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 2: Miss is not playing football or is not playing football.

1796
01:30:02,080 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 2: They make up five, six, seven eight in the rankings.

1797
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:09,679
Speaker 2: Alabama is number nine at ten and two. I would

1798
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:13,439
Speaker 2: believe if Alabama wasn't playing in the SEC title game

1799
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:16,400
Speaker 2: this weekend, they would be in the College Football Playoff.

1800
01:30:17,400 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 2: But because they're in, it sure feels to me like

1801
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:23,040
Speaker 2: they have to beat Georgia because if three losses, I

1802
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:26,559
Speaker 2: think they'll be out. You could legitially make the case

1803
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:29,760
Speaker 2: that in Alabama stance, it hurts them playing in the

1804
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 2: SEC title game, and there's nothing they can do about it.

1805
01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 2: That's just kind of how it is. But if they

1806
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:40,519
Speaker 2: lose their out when they're in regardless. But I think

1807
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:42,479
Speaker 2: if they were neutral this weekend, I think they'd be in.

1808
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:46,120
Speaker 2: I think their body of work would would would agree

1809
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:46,400
Speaker 2: with that.

1810
01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:51,720
Speaker 3: Maybe so, but you don't want to leave it up

1811
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 3: to something weird happening.

1812
01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:56,040
Speaker 2: You don't want to You don't want to.

1813
01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:59,719
Speaker 3: Leave it up to Okay, maybe BYU does beat Texas

1814
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:04,080
Speaker 3: Tech or you know, however, it might work out to

1815
01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 3: where you can get bumped out for being idle. So

1816
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 3: as difficult as a task as it is to go

1817
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:14,920
Speaker 3: to Atlanta and beat Georgia, sure you can remove all

1818
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:19,600
Speaker 3: doubt by beating Georgia. Yes, And this is the reality

1819
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:24,160
Speaker 3: of the Southeastern Conference. This is the conference that you

1820
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 3: talk about and everybody you know warships about being such

1821
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 3: a great conference. Okay, well, now here's the opportunity for

1822
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 3: you to This is part of it. You don't necessarily

1823
01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:37,080
Speaker 3: have the same rules, and you have a bit of

1824
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 3: a tougher path than everyone else.

1825
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 36: Yeah.

1826
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:44,560
Speaker 2: The biggest winner of the last college football rankings, Arizona

1827
01:31:44,840 --> 01:31:48,400
Speaker 2: moved up seven spots to number eighteen in the college

1828
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:50,680
Speaker 2: football playoff rankings. And'll ask you one more question on

1829
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:54,160
Speaker 2: this as an Ohio State fan Austin and we brushed

1830
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 2: over this earlier in the week. Ohio State in Indiana

1831
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 2: number one and two. Ohio State in Indiana, regardless of

1832
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:01,040
Speaker 2: what happens on Saturday, are both in the college football playoffs.

1833
01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 2: How are you handling From an Ohio State standpoint, how

1834
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 2: are you handling the game Saturday? Are you? Are you

1835
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:14,320
Speaker 2: unloading the playbook? Are you playing Vanilla as possible? Because

1836
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,639
Speaker 2: there is a likely there's a scenario where you would

1837
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:21,040
Speaker 2: turn around and play Indiana again, How are you handling

1838
01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 2: the game Saturday night if you're Ohio State? Well, I

1839
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:25,960
Speaker 2: do think you wouldn't turn around and play them in

1840
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:27,720
Speaker 2: the same week. No, not the same week, but you

1841
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 2: could see them again.

1842
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:33,280
Speaker 3: I think it's it's likely that both of these teams

1843
01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:37,759
Speaker 3: get by weeks no matter what happens, and whoever wins,

1844
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 3: they basically flip spots from one to two. I could

1845
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:47,599
Speaker 3: see that you would basically, I think, determine just how

1846
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:51,759
Speaker 3: much you show and what exactly your plan of attack

1847
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Speaker 3: is based off of what happens in the games prior

1848
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:59,560
Speaker 3: to you. That's what's nice is other than who's the

1849
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 3: a C game? ACC game is the only one that

1850
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:04,800
Speaker 3: that tips off or that play kicks off at the

1851
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:08,599
Speaker 3: same time. Yeah, I don't know. I think you should

1852
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:10,919
Speaker 3: always try to win, but we've seen.

1853
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 2: That are try to win. But are you? Are you

1854
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:15,639
Speaker 2: exhausting all avenues of the playbook?

1855
01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 3: No, I don't think that that either of these teams

1856
01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:19,080
Speaker 3: would really have to.

1857
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't know.

1858
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:26,800
Speaker 3: I'm fascinated by it because Kurt Signetti's offense is the

1859
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:29,599
Speaker 3: only one in the country that I feel really worried

1860
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 3: about as an Ohio State fan. Like, obviously Matt Patricia

1861
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:37,759
Speaker 3: has done incredible work with that defense, but Kurt Signetti

1862
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:40,519
Speaker 3: is a great offensive mind. There's no other offense in

1863
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:45,200
Speaker 3: the country that like strikes fear into me like Indiana does,

1864
01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:50,640
Speaker 3: even with Matt Patricia. So for that reason, you know,

1865
01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:52,679
Speaker 3: does Kurt Signetti come out and try to prove a point?

1866
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 3: Does he try to go thirteen to zero?

1867
01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:57,120
Speaker 2: I think the title for Indiana would would mean a

1868
01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:59,160
Speaker 2: lot more huge deal. It would mean a lot more

1869
01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:00,719
Speaker 2: huge deal for what it's worth.

1870
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:02,840
Speaker 3: I think the other thing too here is Ohio State

1871
01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 3: has been dealing with some injuries. Carnell Tate, Yeah, Jeremiah Smith,

1872
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 3: They're not one hundred percent healthy, so I think that

1873
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:13,120
Speaker 3: might play into it as well.

1874
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 2: If you went by just the playoff rankings last night,

1875
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:19,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State would await the winner of Oklahoma and Alabama

1876
01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 2: to play Texas Tech would await the winner of Oregon

1877
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 2: and a conference champion that'll be decided this weekend more

1878
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:28,639
Speaker 2: than likely two lanes. Yes, Georgia the three seed would

1879
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:31,520
Speaker 2: await Old Miss or another one of those conference champions,

1880
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:34,360
Speaker 2: and then Indiana would await the winner of Notre Dame

1881
01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:37,880
Speaker 2: and Texas A and M. That is how the four

1882
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:40,600
Speaker 2: teams with the bye would currently play out in the

1883
01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:42,200
Speaker 2: college football playoff.

1884
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 3: Let's see that being said. If I'm Ohio State, I

1885
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 3: would rather, I think right now, play the winner of

1886
01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:53,080
Speaker 3: Notre Dame in Texas.

1887
01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:58,120
Speaker 2: Ay, absolutely, I would agree, one hundred percent, and like

1888
01:34:58,160 --> 01:34:59,519
Speaker 2: the same wis in all of this is what is

1889
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 2: a committee do with Old Miss now that they don't

1890
01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 2: have a coach? You know, does something happen over the

1891
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:09,040
Speaker 2: weekend that Old Miss could fall in this? I don't

1892
01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:10,720
Speaker 2: think so, but it is interesting to see where they

1893
01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:14,800
Speaker 2: would they would go with that. Let's switch gears. Let's

1894
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 2: talk some college hoops in our number three. We'll also

1915
01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:36,160
Speaker 2: happy to do that. I also want to know what

1916
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:38,759
Speaker 2: the interest is for the Crosstown Shootout because it feels,

1917
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:40,880
Speaker 2: as Austin and I discussed at the start of the show,

1918
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:45,400
Speaker 2: it feels like there's less buzz around this game going

1919
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 2: into this year. And I know there are factors that

1920
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:49,720
Speaker 2: go into it. It's played on a Friday night, It's

1921
01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:52,799
Speaker 2: much earlier on the schedule than what it has been normally.

1922
01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:55,639
Speaker 2: It is also on a weekend where you have college

1923
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:59,599
Speaker 2: football championships being decided, college football playoff spots being decided.

1924
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 2: It has Bengals Bills implications on Sunday. So the timing, uh,

1925
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:08,600
Speaker 2: what else is going on in the sports world. It

1926
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:10,720
Speaker 2: doesn't help that neither of these teams right now is

1927
01:37:10,800 --> 01:37:13,200
Speaker 2: very good. I'm not saying that the teams can't improve,

1928
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:14,679
Speaker 2: but right now they're not very good.

1929
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:15,599
Speaker 13: Uh.

1930
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:21,080
Speaker 2: All of those things go into this, and so I'll

1931
01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:23,680
Speaker 2: open it up to you five, one, three, seven, four, nine,

1932
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:28,679
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. What's your excitement level around the Crosstown Shootout?

1933
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 2: What's your build up around this year's shootout compared to

1934
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:36,439
Speaker 2: years in the past. It's shootout number one for Richard Patino,

1935
01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:39,400
Speaker 2: I believe, Austin. We have some audio of Richard Patino

1936
01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 2: from earlier today talking about said shootout. We sure do.

1937
01:37:42,240 --> 01:37:44,800
Speaker 37: Let's go to that introductory press conference. You said you

1938
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:48,879
Speaker 37: understand the responsibility of this game, and so just curious

1939
01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:51,160
Speaker 37: how you're embracing that challenge as you care for your

1940
01:37:51,160 --> 01:37:51,800
Speaker 37: first cross.

1941
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:55,040
Speaker 38: Well, I mean, I would say, as boring as it sounds,

1942
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:58,600
Speaker 38: on a day to day we approach it, you know,

1943
01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 38: like any other game, and that you know, that's the

1944
01:38:02,160 --> 01:38:06,479
Speaker 38: responsibility of a coach. With that being said, you know,

1945
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:08,880
Speaker 38: we know how passionate our fan base is.

1946
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:10,720
Speaker 28: We know how passionate their fan base is.

1947
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 38: We're all so close together, you know, so we totally

1948
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:19,640
Speaker 38: respect the rivalry and you know the amazing tradition that

1949
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 38: the game has.

1950
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:23,920
Speaker 28: Our guys know it, you know.

1951
01:38:24,040 --> 01:38:27,439
Speaker 38: But on a day to day we're not working any harder.

1952
01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:29,760
Speaker 38: I can promise you see is doing the same thing.

1953
01:38:30,920 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 38: But we obviously know it is a huge game for

1954
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:35,560
Speaker 38: both programs.

1955
01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:38,000
Speaker 28: You know, we're gonna fight our butt off to see

1956
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:38,599
Speaker 28: if we can get a win.

1957
01:38:39,720 --> 01:38:41,719
Speaker 39: Coach, if you can think back to when you got hired.

1958
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:44,879
Speaker 39: How long was it before someone brought up the shootout

1959
01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:45,120
Speaker 39: to you?

1960
01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 38: I mean, I can't even remember what I had for

1961
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:50,760
Speaker 38: breakfast today, so I mean my memory is not real good.

1962
01:38:50,800 --> 01:38:53,439
Speaker 28: But what I can tell you is you hear it

1963
01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:53,800
Speaker 28: a lot.

1964
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 38: You know, when you're out in the community, whether it's

1965
01:38:56,040 --> 01:39:00,840
Speaker 38: Xavier fans, you see fans, the community really races the game,

1966
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:02,559
Speaker 38: and that's a cool thing to be a part of.

1967
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:05,000
Speaker 38: You know, you want to take a job where people care.

1968
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:09,960
Speaker 38: Clearly our fan base does, clearly theirs does. So yeah,

1969
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,400
Speaker 38: you hear it a lot, you know, from both sides.

1970
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:16,759
Speaker 38: And you know, we certainly know it's a big, big challenge.

1971
01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:19,760
Speaker 38: They're a really good team, but we also understand it's

1972
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 38: huge for the fans as well.

1973
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:25,160
Speaker 39: Is it weird or is it hard to explain to

1974
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 39: the guys or get them to feel the gravity of

1975
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:31,799
Speaker 39: a game like this when they're all coming to Xavier

1976
01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:32,519
Speaker 39: for the first year.

1977
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:34,160
Speaker 2: No, no, it's not.

1978
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:36,880
Speaker 38: I mean, certainly if you had players playing in the

1979
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 38: game last year. But Uce is dealing with the same thing.

1980
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:42,679
Speaker 38: Everybody in college basketball is dealing with the same thing.

1981
01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:46,280
Speaker 38: Just because nobody on our team has played in the

1982
01:39:46,320 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 38: game doesn't mean that they don't understand how important it is.

1983
01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:53,680
Speaker 38: You know, it's a huge rivalry game, and so you know,

1984
01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:59,320
Speaker 38: big game certainly the next game as well. But you know,

1985
01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:02,840
Speaker 38: I don't try to make a bigger deal of it

1986
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:06,200
Speaker 38: as we're scouting, as we're preparing than we would any

1987
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:11,160
Speaker 38: other opponent. But everybody knows the gravity of the game

1988
01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:11,880
Speaker 38: on both sides.

1989
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:16,160
Speaker 37: You see ranks number four defensively and Ken Palmit efficiency.

1990
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:18,000
Speaker 37: Just what stands out about that side of the ball

1991
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:20,800
Speaker 37: And have you guys faced anything similar to that so

1992
01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:21,439
Speaker 37: far this year?

1993
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 38: Well, I mean, I think from like a length standpoint,

1994
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:26,040
Speaker 38: they're similar to Georgia.

1995
01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:29,320
Speaker 28: They're really big, they're very long, they're very.

1996
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:34,160
Speaker 38: Athletic discipline defensively, you know, so certainly that's going to

1997
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:37,840
Speaker 38: be a huge challenge for us. They've got really good

1998
01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:41,280
Speaker 38: defense personnel, they're committed to it, you know, so like

1999
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:44,360
Speaker 38: everything else, you know, taking care of the ball, you know,

2000
01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:46,879
Speaker 38: being smart around the basket's got to be very important

2001
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:47,200
Speaker 38: for us.

2002
01:40:48,600 --> 01:40:51,200
Speaker 40: You say that, you know, even if the guys are

2003
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:53,599
Speaker 40: transferring in, they still understand the gravity of the game.

2004
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:56,640
Speaker 40: Have you done anything to you know, research yourself and

2005
01:40:56,680 --> 01:40:59,080
Speaker 40: then kind of pass it along and teach the guys

2006
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:01,880
Speaker 40: the history of this game, this rivalry. Are you doing

2007
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:04,439
Speaker 40: anything different to kind of prepare for that so they

2008
01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:06,080
Speaker 40: do know the background of it all.

2009
01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:09,000
Speaker 38: No, I'm treating it like I would any other game.

2010
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:10,640
Speaker 38: I mean, these are guys. They don't care about what

2011
01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 38: happened in nineteen eighty. I wish they would, but they're young,

2012
01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:16,599
Speaker 38: they're young players. I mean, they don't you.

2013
01:41:16,479 --> 01:41:17,679
Speaker 28: Know what we taught.

2014
01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:21,640
Speaker 38: We don't talk about, oh, ten years ago, this is

2015
01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:22,280
Speaker 38: what happened though.

2016
01:41:22,280 --> 01:41:24,599
Speaker 28: Those guys just don't care. I mean, that's this young generation.

2017
01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:27,960
Speaker 38: What we just talk about is how can we beat

2018
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 38: uc which is going to be a very very tough task. Again,

2019
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:34,080
Speaker 38: I don't want to like gloss over it like it's

2020
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:35,960
Speaker 38: not a big deal. It's certainly a big game and

2021
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:39,439
Speaker 38: a huge opportunity for us in the building. But what

2022
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,599
Speaker 38: happened in the past that would just totally blow over

2023
01:41:42,640 --> 01:41:46,599
Speaker 38: their heads, you know. So you just we came in yesterday,

2024
01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 38: watched the Saint Francis edit, dove in on U see,

2025
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:53,120
Speaker 38: and it'll be business as usual.

2026
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:54,120
Speaker 9: All right.

2027
01:41:54,200 --> 01:41:57,479
Speaker 2: So that is part of what Rick Patino Richard Patino

2028
01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:00,720
Speaker 2: had to say earlier today about the shootout. I do

2029
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:02,920
Speaker 2: think it's interesting Austin that he's kind of just hoping

2030
01:42:02,920 --> 01:42:05,160
Speaker 2: about you know, we're approaching this day to day like

2031
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:07,920
Speaker 2: any other game we play. Yeah, you know, wes Miller

2032
01:42:07,960 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 2: made a comment after their loss or after the win

2033
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:16,720
Speaker 2: against Tarleton State about we know what the next game

2034
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,160
Speaker 2: is and we don't approach the next game like it's

2035
01:42:19,200 --> 01:42:22,400
Speaker 2: any other game. So, at least from an approach side,

2036
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:27,400
Speaker 2: you have two different variables there, right, one coach who

2037
01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:29,560
Speaker 2: at least on the outside, is saying it's it's just

2038
01:42:29,600 --> 01:42:34,519
Speaker 2: a normal game, whereas the other is saying this, this

2039
01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:37,640
Speaker 2: game means more. And I think there's an like I

2040
01:42:37,720 --> 01:42:40,520
Speaker 2: expect that to Wes Miller's been here for five years.

2041
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 2: Wes Miller has seen what happens if you don't beat Xavier, right,

2042
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:51,559
Speaker 2: So I think there is an understanding to that. But

2043
01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:57,040
Speaker 2: at the same time, it to me, it's hard if

2044
01:42:57,080 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 2: you don't have the I don't want to say the

2045
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 2: the bad blood or animosity, but that sometimes helps the

2046
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:09,840
Speaker 2: rivalry game, you know what I mean. And it just

2047
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 2: it's not it's not as prevalent now as what it

2048
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:14,840
Speaker 2: was in years past.

2049
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you think about there's I don't know

2050
01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:22,519
Speaker 3: that Patino feels any pressure. Absolutely, I think this is

2051
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:27,320
Speaker 3: a way almost to put the pressure back on you

2052
01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:31,280
Speaker 3: see mm hm, it's just another game for us. Meanwhile,

2053
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:35,439
Speaker 3: it's mounting in Clifton right Absolutely, it's like, uh, we

2054
01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:37,360
Speaker 3: got to win this game, like right now?

2055
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:44,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, like and and not to me like and there's

2056
01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 2: some there's some there's twenty seconds of Kerk Crisa like.

2057
01:43:47,040 --> 01:43:51,639
Speaker 2: Outside of that, they're like from the players. Austin I said,

2058
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 2: Kerk Creese is the only player that will play on

2059
01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:57,439
Speaker 2: Friday night that was even alive when these two teams play.

2060
01:43:57,560 --> 01:43:59,479
Speaker 2: When when you see last one at the Centa Center,

2061
01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:03,600
Speaker 2: you know, there's just not there's not the understanding in

2062
01:44:03,640 --> 01:44:06,360
Speaker 2: my belief anymore of just how much this rivalry means.

2063
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:09,519
Speaker 2: I mean, the closest thing we got was this twenty

2064
01:44:09,560 --> 01:44:13,320
Speaker 2: second clip from Kerk Crisa after the Bearcats beat Tarleton

2065
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:17,920
Speaker 2: State on Monday. How excited are you for that game?

2066
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:20,280
Speaker 9: Yeah?

2067
01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 2: Exciting, of course.

2068
01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:21,680
Speaker 35: I mean this.

2069
01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:26,080
Speaker 9: The Outer School is up in Norwood, so happy, happy.

2070
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:26,840
Speaker 2: And excited to go there.

2071
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:30,360
Speaker 39: And and uh I heard it's a it's a big fight.

2072
01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 19: So we're definitely going to bring him.

2073
01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:35,880
Speaker 2: So the school in Norwood, the other school he used

2074
01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:38,960
Speaker 2: the term happy happy, and uh that they're going to

2075
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 2: bring it because they're going to bring a fight.

2076
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 8: So like.

2077
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 2: But outside of that, like like the Cumberland years, there

2078
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:49,960
Speaker 2: was hate there Xavior like nowadays. And this isn't this

2079
01:44:50,120 --> 01:44:52,840
Speaker 2: is not about the fans. I would venture to say

2080
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 2: Austin that there are a lot of fans of Xavier

2081
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:59,160
Speaker 2: that couldn't tell you one UC player, sure, and there's

2082
01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:02,080
Speaker 2: a lot of UC that couldn't tell you one Xavior player, right,

2083
01:45:02,160 --> 01:45:04,360
Speaker 2: And in years past that's been different. It's like man,

2084
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:08,280
Speaker 2: j P. Mccura, Man, he draws me nuts, man, Jared

2085
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:12,120
Speaker 2: Cumberland draws me nuts. You know, there's just not that anymore.

2086
01:45:13,240 --> 01:45:14,840
Speaker 2: And I think that rivalries missed that.

2087
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, And we kind of talked earlier too about how

2088
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:22,360
Speaker 3: the the arena for both sides really hasn't been filled

2089
01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:26,960
Speaker 3: with too many people. A very small crowd for U

2090
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:30,280
Speaker 3: see the other night against Tarleton State, Xavier not quite

2091
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 3: as full as we expected. And I see here from

2092
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:36,760
Speaker 3: Lance McAllister. Xavier has indicated that there are now a

2093
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:40,599
Speaker 3: limited number of tickets available for the Crosstown shootout due

2094
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:45,920
Speaker 3: to the Bearcats returning a portion of their allotment. U

2095
01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:51,080
Speaker 3: SEE tells Lance that they declined to purchase seventy five

2096
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:54,720
Speaker 3: tickets that were in the upper corner level and some

2097
01:45:55,160 --> 01:45:59,280
Speaker 3: last row one hundred and ten dollars apiece, So there

2098
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:02,840
Speaker 3: wasn't a ton of demand for those. UC made sure

2099
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:05,400
Speaker 3: to take care of students and team needs.

2100
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:08,439
Speaker 2: Okay, but even that, I mean that goes into it

2101
01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:08,840
Speaker 2: as well.

2102
01:46:08,920 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 3: That's that's strange, right, there's not demand from the UC

2103
01:46:12,720 --> 01:46:15,720
Speaker 3: side to take care of students and team needs. Now

2104
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:17,519
Speaker 3: there are people in the reply saying that you know,

2105
01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:19,920
Speaker 3: their season ticket holders, they never got an email from

2106
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:21,960
Speaker 3: u SEE asking if they wanted to buy tickets about

2107
01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:25,520
Speaker 3: I don't know, but that in and of itself is strange.

2108
01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:28,559
Speaker 2: And to further the point, there's one other note here.

2109
01:46:30,400 --> 01:46:33,439
Speaker 2: Outside of Day Dave Thomas Austin, no one on ey

2110
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:37,680
Speaker 2: of the roster's ever played in the shootout, So, you know,

2111
01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:40,040
Speaker 2: how can you bill it the way? Outside of Wes

2112
01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:42,240
Speaker 2: and dayDay, who can talk to the team this week

2113
01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:43,880
Speaker 2: and say, look, you guys don't understand what you're going

2114
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:47,760
Speaker 2: to walk into Friday from a fan standpoint. Outside of that,

2115
01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:49,679
Speaker 2: there's it's just different.

2116
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:52,280
Speaker 3: This is kind of off topic, but what did you

2117
01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:57,639
Speaker 3: make of Jizzle being in the building building and now

2118
01:46:57,680 --> 01:46:59,559
Speaker 3: all the conversation around him.

2119
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:02,320
Speaker 2: It was the only thing that I thought was odd

2120
01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:04,760
Speaker 2: about it is on the same night Gigsel is in

2121
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:09,040
Speaker 2: the building, Keishan Tillery played four minutes your backup point guard,

2122
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 2: you know, and Wes Miller was asked about it after

2123
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:13,760
Speaker 2: the game and gave like a very coach answer, like

2124
01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:16,040
Speaker 2: that was a coach's decision and I'm not going to

2125
01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:19,800
Speaker 2: go into it anymore. Now, Wes was asked more about

2126
01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 2: Gisel James and he said, look, Jigsel has never not

2127
01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:26,520
Speaker 2: been double negative. Gigil has never not been enrolled at Cincinnati,

2128
01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:29,720
Speaker 2: So even while he was doing the things necessary that

2129
01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:31,439
Speaker 2: he needed to do when it was his life, he

2130
01:47:31,520 --> 01:47:35,200
Speaker 2: was still enrolled in online classes at you See. So technically,

2131
01:47:35,720 --> 01:47:37,559
Speaker 2: since he's been a student at U See, he could

2132
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:40,720
Speaker 2: rejoin the team. I would imagine what I've heard, at

2133
01:47:40,760 --> 01:47:44,639
Speaker 2: least up to this point is there's not an avenue

2134
01:47:44,680 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 2: that he rejoins the team this year. Now, I think

2135
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:51,000
Speaker 2: that door is open if he does the things necessary

2136
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:54,000
Speaker 2: that he could return next year to the team. But

2137
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:55,719
Speaker 2: I don't think he would return this year. It didn't

2138
01:47:55,720 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 2: help that UC put him on the JumboTron on Monday night.

2139
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:02,719
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Like anytime like jizzl being there.

2140
01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:05,040
Speaker 2: As soon as someone gets it, it's gonna be all over

2141
01:48:05,080 --> 01:48:09,080
Speaker 2: social media. Why put it on the jumpbo tron, You're

2142
01:48:09,160 --> 01:48:14,599
Speaker 2: just inciting the curiosity and the rumors. How funny would

2143
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:16,120
Speaker 2: it be if he ran out of the tunnel on

2144
01:48:16,240 --> 01:48:20,439
Speaker 2: Friday night? Could he go get fifteen? He played well

2145
01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:22,880
Speaker 2: against Savior. I don't know that in his career, I

2146
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:23,759
Speaker 2: don't know that he could.

2147
01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:26,320
Speaker 3: When I think of Gizsel James, I think of a

2148
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 3: lot of jump shots being missed, a lot of dribbling,

2149
01:48:29,200 --> 01:48:31,599
Speaker 3: a lot of dribbling, a lot of jump shots being missed.

2150
01:48:33,040 --> 01:48:34,439
Speaker 3: Looks good though, That's good.

2151
01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad to see that. Glad he's at the game.

2152
01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:37,720
Speaker 2: Me too.

2153
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:43,600
Speaker 3: Necessary don't know that he's the answer, don't know that

2154
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:46,240
Speaker 3: there are any answers, but I'm.

2155
01:48:46,120 --> 01:48:49,800
Speaker 2: Excited for the drama. I love seeing you squirm. Oh

2156
01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:53,479
Speaker 2: I'm squirming? What that pit? The pit in the stomach

Speaker 2: is there? Uh, we'll get to your phone calls when

Speaker 2: couple of minutes here. We'll take some of your phone calls. Uh, Tony,

Speaker 2: How are you hey? Good in a while?

2165
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:31,120
Speaker 36: First of all, I thought the cross onund shootout was

2166
01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:34,040
Speaker 36: next week, so it shows how much Yeah, there's either

2167
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:36,160
Speaker 36: had not that paying attention, just haven't.

2168
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:37,240
Speaker 2: Had to hear about it.

2169
01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:40,479
Speaker 36: But the thing that really kind of brought something back

2170
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:44,120
Speaker 36: to me was when I saw Lance's post about tickets,

2171
01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:47,599
Speaker 36: you know, extra tickets being available. I don't remember seeing

2172
01:49:48,160 --> 01:49:52,800
Speaker 36: seeing something like that, going back to maybe huggins.

2173
01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:57,160
Speaker 2: First year at the Garden. We were at one.

2174
01:49:57,080 --> 01:49:59,720
Speaker 36: Of the UC home games where nobody was there, and

2175
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:03,440
Speaker 36: they announcement inside the shoes saying, hey, there's tickets.

2176
01:50:03,160 --> 01:50:04,560
Speaker 2: Available, blah blah blah.

2177
01:50:04,760 --> 01:50:07,439
Speaker 36: We literally ran to the indoor ticket office and was

2178
01:50:07,479 --> 01:50:09,519
Speaker 36: able to get some tickets and yeah, they were the

2179
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 36: best seats, but yeah, they need I just hope Wes

2180
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:15,280
Speaker 36: is bringing in some of the former players to talk

2181
01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 36: about this rivalry, the robbery needs to get ramped backed up.

2182
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:20,800
Speaker 2: I mean, we went from being midnight.

2183
01:50:20,400 --> 01:50:23,600
Speaker 36: Man, it's the ESPN all the way down to on

2184
01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:26,679
Speaker 36: the Oak Show at three am in the morning.

2185
01:50:26,840 --> 01:50:29,120
Speaker 4: So it's kind of like we need to get us back.

2186
01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:31,640
Speaker 36: It's great for the city, it's great for both schools,

2187
01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:34,720
Speaker 36: it's great for the alumnis of both schools, and it

2188
01:50:34,840 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 36: just needs to get to where it used to be

2189
01:50:37,840 --> 01:50:43,320
Speaker 36: and bring back that intimidate, dominate, and celebrate slogan.

2190
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:46,000
Speaker 2: Would be kind of cool too. Yeah, Tony, I echo that.

2191
01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:49,200
Speaker 2: I appreciate your phone call, thanks for listening. You know

2192
01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:52,679
Speaker 2: that's part of it as well. Austin. It's just, again,

2193
01:50:52,720 --> 01:50:56,120
Speaker 2: there's so many factors that go into it, but there's

2194
01:50:56,240 --> 01:51:00,400
Speaker 2: just not the buzz around either of the programs right now.

2195
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:04,960
Speaker 2: And again I think those are for different reasons. Xavier

2196
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:09,160
Speaker 2: has a new coach roster that was pieced together, and

2197
01:51:09,280 --> 01:51:11,439
Speaker 2: I think more than not Xavier fans are willing to

2198
01:51:11,439 --> 01:51:15,160
Speaker 2: give Richard Patino a pass West Miller's in year five

2199
01:51:15,640 --> 01:51:18,639
Speaker 2: and the team is already underperforming, not because they lost

2200
01:51:18,640 --> 01:51:22,040
Speaker 2: to Louisville, because they lost at home against Eastern Michigan.

2201
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:25,160
Speaker 2: Is a twenty three and a half point favorite, and

2202
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:28,360
Speaker 2: they didn't look great against Tarleton State on Monday. They're

2203
01:51:28,360 --> 01:51:31,960
Speaker 2: trending in the wrong direction. It's just hard to generate

2204
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:34,200
Speaker 2: as much buzz that way. It's just the nature of

2205
01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 2: what it is. What's up, Jeff, How are you.

2206
01:51:39,960 --> 01:51:40,280
Speaker 8: Happy?

2207
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:40,799
Speaker 5: Wednesday?

2208
01:51:40,920 --> 01:51:41,240
Speaker 8: Gents?

2209
01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:45,559
Speaker 32: No real dog in the fight for the Crosstown shootout.

2210
01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 32: But I have been betting against UC with the points

2211
01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:49,720
Speaker 32: recently and it's turned out very well.

2212
01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:51,439
Speaker 2: Yeah you've been winning.

2213
01:51:54,680 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 8: Yeah.

2214
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:57,160
Speaker 32: Not ready to jump on the other team money line

2215
01:51:57,240 --> 01:51:59,040
Speaker 32: just yet, but those twenty four and a half point

2216
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:02,360
Speaker 32: spreads against the not so good guys have turned out pretty.

2217
01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:02,800
Speaker 8: Yell so far.

2218
01:52:03,080 --> 01:52:06,280
Speaker 2: The Tarleton the Tarleton thing was crazy to me because

2219
01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:11,479
Speaker 2: Tarleton State was playing without seven players and sixty one

2220
01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:13,800
Speaker 2: percent of their scoring going into the game, and it

2221
01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:15,920
Speaker 2: was a two point game at halftime. It's just it

2222
01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:19,760
Speaker 2: hasn't looked good and they've not gotten better, whereas at

2223
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:23,120
Speaker 2: least about Xavier you can look and say they've improved

2224
01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:24,599
Speaker 2: each game they've played in.

2225
01:52:27,120 --> 01:52:29,920
Speaker 32: Yeah, well, I know this is killing you obviously, Tony.

2226
01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:34,000
Speaker 32: So back to the playoff for a second. Let's take

2227
01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:37,200
Speaker 32: a shot. Alabama loses on Saturday and they're a three

2228
01:52:37,240 --> 01:52:40,400
Speaker 32: loss team all of a sudden, Yeah, what single player

2229
01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:44,040
Speaker 32: has ESPN been hyping as the second coming of God

2230
01:52:44,400 --> 01:52:47,480
Speaker 32: presumed the Heisman Trophy winner since day one of the preseason.

2231
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:54,240
Speaker 2: Out of out of Alabama or out in general, Arch Manning? Yeah,

2232
01:52:54,320 --> 01:52:56,040
Speaker 2: any reason to get back in?

2233
01:52:56,120 --> 01:52:59,400
Speaker 32: Texas also has three losses. What do you think the

2234
01:52:59,400 --> 01:53:02,200
Speaker 32: odds are ESPN puts the squeeze on the committee to

2235
01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:03,640
Speaker 32: try to hop Texas.

2236
01:53:03,240 --> 01:53:06,240
Speaker 2: In there over Alabama for a ratings game. I think

2237
01:53:06,240 --> 01:53:08,479
Speaker 2: if it came down to the two, I think I

2238
01:53:09,360 --> 01:53:12,280
Speaker 2: think there are folks out there that would lean Texas

2239
01:53:12,320 --> 01:53:16,439
Speaker 2: for those reasons. And Texas did play better down the stretch.

2240
01:53:16,439 --> 01:53:19,000
Speaker 2: I think Alabama's overall body of work is much better.

2241
01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:22,080
Speaker 2: But I don't think you're far off with that take.

2242
01:53:22,560 --> 01:53:24,400
Speaker 2: I could see that happening.

2243
01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:30,240
Speaker 32: I could just see Sunday mornings somebody from ESPN leaning

2244
01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:31,799
Speaker 32: into the committee room and saying.

2245
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 4: How much money are we paying you people?

2246
01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:37,280
Speaker 32: And somewhere down the road, if in one we do

2247
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:42,719
Speaker 32: go to sixteen teams, I could easily say see ESPN

2248
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:45,800
Speaker 32: saying we would like to have one or two slots

2249
01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:49,360
Speaker 32: for ESPN to pick h in the sixteen team playoff

2250
01:53:49,360 --> 01:53:53,160
Speaker 32: committee based outside of the bylaws of whatever those rules.

2251
01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:53,479
Speaker 14: Are or whatever.

2252
01:53:54,640 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 2: I mean at this point, as much as NCAA feels

2253
01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:01,759
Speaker 2: like the wild wide one, I wouldn't put anything past

2254
01:54:01,800 --> 01:54:02,559
Speaker 2: them for the future.

2255
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:07,639
Speaker 32: Well, it's we know what the money involved that it's

2256
01:54:07,680 --> 01:54:10,120
Speaker 32: certainly not out of the realm with possibilities. But hey,

2257
01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:12,639
Speaker 32: we've got great football. We got great football to watch

2258
01:54:12,680 --> 01:54:14,519
Speaker 32: Saturday and just lead into Sunday.

2259
01:54:14,640 --> 01:54:15,320
Speaker 2: So that's it.

2260
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:17,040
Speaker 4: Let's kick back and enjoy it.

2261
01:54:17,120 --> 01:54:21,320
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jeff that afternoon. Yes, Sir Austin, what's up?

2262
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:21,559
Speaker 7: Man?

2263
01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:23,920
Speaker 4: Hey, what's going on?

2264
01:54:24,040 --> 01:54:24,280
Speaker 14: Y'all?

2265
01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:27,200
Speaker 4: I listened to the show every day you wanted to.

2266
01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:30,320
Speaker 4: I also wanted to talk college football playoffs.

2267
01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:30,639
Speaker 2: Please?

2268
01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:32,520
Speaker 4: Just how the last.

2269
01:54:32,160 --> 01:54:35,800
Speaker 32: Caller said Texas would have three losses and Bama would

2270
01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:36,720
Speaker 32: have three losses.

2271
01:54:37,320 --> 01:54:40,200
Speaker 36: I don't think those three losses would compare to each other.

2272
01:54:42,240 --> 01:54:44,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I don't either. I mean, if you just

2273
01:54:45,000 --> 01:54:48,840
Speaker 2: put them side by side and you look at the

2274
01:54:48,920 --> 01:54:51,600
Speaker 2: Texas body of work and you look at the Alabama

2275
01:54:51,640 --> 01:54:54,480
Speaker 2: body of work. Alabama started with a loss to Florida State,

2276
01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:59,400
Speaker 2: they lost to Oklahoma. Those are the two losses. Texas losses. Again,

2277
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:01,720
Speaker 2: came to the number one team in the country, but

2278
01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:04,560
Speaker 2: then the loss to Florida I think hurts Texas more

2279
01:55:04,560 --> 01:55:07,720
Speaker 2: than anything. And they were blown out by Georgia, whereas

2280
01:55:07,760 --> 01:55:11,000
Speaker 2: Alabama did play Georgia the first time around and actually

2281
01:55:11,040 --> 01:55:13,600
Speaker 2: beat the Georgia Bulldogs. So yeah, I don't think. I

2282
01:55:13,600 --> 01:55:15,200
Speaker 2: don't think the two are the same. I would agree

2283
01:55:15,240 --> 01:55:15,440
Speaker 2: with that.

2284
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:19,400
Speaker 4: And I also think you can't ponent somebody for playing

2285
01:55:19,440 --> 01:55:23,360
Speaker 4: an extra game than everybody else. That would almost destroy

2286
01:55:23,480 --> 01:55:25,480
Speaker 4: the conference championships in my eyes.

2287
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's the biggest concern right now

2288
01:55:28,120 --> 01:55:32,480
Speaker 2: for future conference championship games. Is a scenario would you

2289
01:55:32,520 --> 01:55:34,720
Speaker 2: ever could you ever see a point where a team

2290
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:35,960
Speaker 2: is like, I don't want to play in the conference

2291
01:55:36,040 --> 01:55:36,760
Speaker 2: championship game?

2292
01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess they could, right, I guess they could again,

2293
01:55:41,880 --> 01:55:43,880
Speaker 3: if it would it be a forfeit, I don't know.

2294
01:55:43,880 --> 01:55:46,680
Speaker 2: Like if Oklahoma isn't gonna get penalized, if Old Miss

2295
01:55:46,680 --> 01:55:49,920
Speaker 2: isn't gonna get penalized, if Texas isn't gonna get penalized,

2296
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:52,440
Speaker 2: or anyone else in the rankings. You know, Notre Dame

2297
01:55:52,520 --> 01:55:55,760
Speaker 2: is not playing Texas A and m Oregon, They're not

2298
01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:58,360
Speaker 2: playing If they're not going to be penalized, then why

2299
01:55:58,400 --> 01:55:59,800
Speaker 2: would a team say, well, yeah, let's go play a

2300
01:55:59,840 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 2: next game where we can lose and be penalized for it.

2301
01:56:03,680 --> 01:56:06,160
Speaker 4: Exactly, That's what I'm saying. Also, what do you guys

2302
01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:09,520
Speaker 4: think the Bengals chances of making a late playoff.

2303
01:56:09,120 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 2: Pushes if they win on Sunday.

2304
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:16,160
Speaker 3: I think they've got pretty good odds, to be completely honest,

2305
01:56:16,240 --> 01:56:18,160
Speaker 3: right now, it's fifty to fifty. It really just comes

2306
01:56:18,200 --> 01:56:20,760
Speaker 3: down to can they beat Buffalo. They do have a

2307
01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:24,280
Speaker 3: reasonable chance even if they lose to either Buffalo or Miami.

2308
01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:27,280
Speaker 2: I feel pretty good about it.

2309
01:56:27,320 --> 01:56:29,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know what defense is going to

2310
01:56:29,440 --> 01:56:31,360
Speaker 3: show up, the one we saw for the first ten games,

2311
01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:34,320
Speaker 3: the one we've seen for the last three, But I

2312
01:56:34,360 --> 01:56:36,520
Speaker 3: feel pretty good right now, better than I having any

2313
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:37,280
Speaker 3: point this season.

2314
01:56:37,320 --> 01:56:39,040
Speaker 2: To be honest, they're a five and a half point

2315
01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:43,640
Speaker 2: dog if you just go by spreads. I think they'd

2316
01:56:43,680 --> 01:56:45,600
Speaker 2: be favored in their final four games. And I know

2317
01:56:45,640 --> 01:56:47,640
Speaker 2: Austin talked about it. We talked about the Ravens and

2318
01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:50,160
Speaker 2: Dolphins maybe being a little bit closer. But if they

2319
01:56:50,200 --> 01:56:51,960
Speaker 2: beat the Bills, I think they would be a favorite

2320
01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:53,960
Speaker 2: in their final four games and if that's the case,

2321
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:56,680
Speaker 2: go win them all and get yourself in the playoffs.

2322
01:56:57,280 --> 01:57:00,680
Speaker 2: If they beat Buffalo Monday is a completely different feeling,

2323
01:57:00,720 --> 01:57:02,840
Speaker 2: a completely different vibe, and it is let's go do

2324
01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:05,360
Speaker 2: this thing and what does that scenario and path look like?

2325
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:10,600
Speaker 4: That's where I'm at. Well, anyway, Roll Tide, Go Bengals.

2326
01:57:10,600 --> 01:57:13,120
Speaker 4: I love listening to the show. Y'all keep doing good work.

2327
01:57:13,160 --> 01:57:17,600
Speaker 2: Thank you, Austin, Thanks Austin, Austin said, Roll Tide. Austin

2328
01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:20,640
Speaker 2: was a northern HEAs in northern Kentucky. How do you

2329
01:57:20,680 --> 01:57:25,040
Speaker 2: think Austin became a Tide fan? Roll Tide?

2330
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:28,520
Speaker 3: There's not really a lot of Like, there's not a

2331
01:57:28,560 --> 01:57:32,360
Speaker 3: big time college football programs anywhere near northern Kentucky.

2332
01:57:33,360 --> 01:57:36,360
Speaker 2: Wow, we'll take one more phone call then if that's

2333
01:57:36,360 --> 01:57:38,400
Speaker 2: the that's the stance we're gonna take, Let's go to Dayton.

2334
01:57:38,440 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 2: What's up, Dick? That was rage bait. I'm kidding, Richard.

2335
01:57:46,080 --> 01:57:46,320
Speaker 8: Dick.

2336
01:57:46,400 --> 01:57:46,920
Speaker 2: Are you there?

2337
01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:49,040
Speaker 4: Hey?

2338
01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:52,480
Speaker 2: Hey, you're on the good man. You're on the air

2339
01:57:52,520 --> 01:57:52,720
Speaker 2: with me?

2340
01:57:54,160 --> 01:57:54,320
Speaker 8: Yeah?

2341
01:57:54,400 --> 01:57:57,160
Speaker 41: How are you doing? I was just taking But did

2342
01:57:57,160 --> 01:57:59,080
Speaker 41: you guys have a good Thanksgiving?

2343
01:57:59,480 --> 01:57:59,720
Speaker 2: Sure?

2344
01:57:59,760 --> 01:58:00,160
Speaker 5: Did?

2345
01:58:00,280 --> 01:58:00,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

2346
01:58:02,200 --> 01:58:02,720
Speaker 41: Oh.

2347
01:58:03,080 --> 01:58:07,920
Speaker 42: But the shock for is Thursday when I knew listen

2348
01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:13,240
Speaker 42: to you yesterday, Austin and our very that I thought

2349
01:58:13,280 --> 01:58:16,600
Speaker 42: the Bengals would win over the Ravens. When Joe Burrow

2350
01:58:16,720 --> 01:58:19,320
Speaker 42: comes back, you can count on them winmen.

2351
01:58:19,080 --> 01:58:21,400
Speaker 2: Austin, you know they've won.

2352
01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:24,839
Speaker 3: They've won eight straight games that Joe Burrow has started.

2353
01:58:25,240 --> 01:58:26,960
Speaker 2: How about that?

2354
01:58:26,960 --> 01:58:30,000
Speaker 41: That's good and I'm putting my hope. I'm telling you,

2355
01:58:30,600 --> 01:58:34,240
Speaker 41: I think Ohio State is going to squeeze by by

2356
01:58:34,280 --> 01:58:38,040
Speaker 41: a field goal, a last minute field goal, and it's

2357
01:58:38,040 --> 01:58:40,800
Speaker 41: going to be high scoring. I think that. I think

2358
01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:45,080
Speaker 41: the way. I don't know if Indiana's good defenses, but

2359
01:58:45,160 --> 01:58:47,600
Speaker 41: I think they're going to go all the way at

2360
01:58:47,600 --> 01:58:48,160
Speaker 41: the Big ten.

2361
01:58:48,280 --> 01:58:51,520
Speaker 2: Guys, I don't think Indiana can stop Ohio State. I

2362
01:58:51,560 --> 01:58:53,280
Speaker 2: think that's going to be an issue on the defensive

2363
01:58:53,320 --> 01:58:55,800
Speaker 2: side of the ball. But I'm with you. I think

2364
01:58:55,840 --> 01:58:58,040
Speaker 2: Ohio State wins, Dick. I just don't think it's as close.

2365
01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:00,400
Speaker 2: I think Ohio State wins by more than a touchdown.

2366
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:03,560
Speaker 41: I would say, yeah, and the Bengalis might have a

2367
01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:04,560
Speaker 41: chance Sunday, you know.

2368
01:59:04,720 --> 01:59:10,760
Speaker 4: Baby, absolutely, Babe, Yeah, I think.

2369
01:59:08,880 --> 01:59:12,600
Speaker 2: Dick have a good one. Now, we were at Twin

2370
01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:15,560
Speaker 2: Peaks on Monday. Yeah, and you never you ever see

2371
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:17,839
Speaker 2: like on the bottom of the screen on on ESPN

2372
01:59:17,920 --> 01:59:21,560
Speaker 2: they have like the matchup predictor, like this team has

2373
01:59:21,600 --> 01:59:25,320
Speaker 2: a seventy percent chance to win, this team has this

2374
01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:28,200
Speaker 2: much of a percent chance to win. Did you happen

2375
01:59:28,240 --> 01:59:31,800
Speaker 2: to see what the matchup predictor had for Indiana Ohio State? No?

2376
01:59:32,800 --> 01:59:38,080
Speaker 2: Do you want to guess? No? Indiana fifty oh see

2377
01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:40,840
Speaker 2: Ohio State forty nine? Pers That's enough for me. Put

2378
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:43,160
Speaker 2: it on the on the on the wall bulletin board

2379
01:59:43,720 --> 01:59:50,920
Speaker 2: like I would. I would never think that the matchup

2380
01:59:50,920 --> 01:59:53,760
Speaker 2: predictor would lean to Indiana in this And I don't

2381
01:59:53,760 --> 01:59:55,880
Speaker 2: know what all goes into the analytics and how they

2382
01:59:55,880 --> 01:59:58,640
Speaker 2: come up with those predictions, but right now.

2383
01:59:58,720 --> 02:00:00,160
Speaker 3: I know that we've had a lot of doubt. It's

2384
02:00:00,160 --> 02:00:01,520
Speaker 3: about FPI in the past.

2385
02:00:01,680 --> 02:00:01,960
Speaker 8: Yep.

2386
02:00:02,160 --> 02:00:03,880
Speaker 2: Right now, Ohio State opens a five and a half

2387
02:00:03,880 --> 02:00:06,520
Speaker 2: point favorite. That's down to four and a half again.

2388
02:00:06,560 --> 02:00:09,560
Speaker 2: I maybe it's close for a bit. I see Ohio

2389
02:00:09,560 --> 02:00:12,040
Speaker 2: State as the far better. Do you remember the beat

2390
02:00:12,080 --> 02:00:15,640
Speaker 2: Indonia shirts? I? Do you need one? Might have to

2391
02:00:15,640 --> 02:00:17,880
Speaker 2: pull those out? You need one? I got a couple

2392
02:00:18,840 --> 02:00:22,160
Speaker 2: that worked because they did they took care of business

2393
02:00:22,520 --> 02:00:25,400
Speaker 2: and Michael Pennox got taken care of as well. All right, dude,

2401
02:00:53,680 --> 02:00:55,800
Speaker 2: can we take a quick journey to Orchard Park? What's

2402
02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:56,760
Speaker 2: going on in Buffalo?

2403
02:00:56,920 --> 02:01:00,440
Speaker 3: Bill's just released their injury report for practice today. Now

2404
02:01:00,520 --> 02:01:04,280
Speaker 3: this is noteworthy. They held a walk through practice. Okay,

2405
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:06,960
Speaker 3: so not a full practice for the Bills, but there

2406
02:01:06,960 --> 02:01:11,480
Speaker 3: were three d nps. Linebacker Terrell Bernard dealing with an elbow,

2407
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:15,800
Speaker 3: Defensive end Joey Bosa did not he's got a hamstring

2408
02:01:15,880 --> 02:01:19,480
Speaker 3: and wrist in listed week to week yes, and wide

2409
02:01:19,480 --> 02:01:23,480
Speaker 3: receiver Joshua Palmer all did not participate in the walk

2410
02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:29,280
Speaker 3: through practice. Starting tackles Dion Dawkins and Spencer Brown, Dawkins

2411
02:01:29,320 --> 02:01:31,360
Speaker 3: dealing with a concussion, Brown with a shoulder.

2412
02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:32,720
Speaker 2: Both of them were limited.

2413
02:01:33,240 --> 02:01:40,920
Speaker 3: Tight End Dalton Kincaid also limited in practice, defensive tackle TJ. Sanders,

2414
02:01:40,960 --> 02:01:44,480
Speaker 3: tight end Jackson Hawes, full back Reggie Gillum, long snapper

2415
02:01:44,520 --> 02:01:50,040
Speaker 3: Reed Ferguson all listed as full participants for the Bills today.

2416
02:01:50,160 --> 02:01:52,680
Speaker 3: So the big ones there though, starting tackle Spencer Brown

2417
02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:57,000
Speaker 3: and Dion Dawkins. Obviously Joey Bosa as well. We'll see

2418
02:01:57,000 --> 02:01:58,720
Speaker 3: more about the Bills and we'll get the Bengals into

2419
02:01:58,760 --> 02:02:01,560
Speaker 3: report a little bit later on. Additionally, we were talking

2420
02:02:01,560 --> 02:02:06,400
Speaker 3: about uniforms earlier. Today, Buffalo will wear their traditional home

2421
02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:11,160
Speaker 3: uniforms white helmets, blue jerseys, white pants with the blue socks.

2422
02:02:12,120 --> 02:02:15,160
Speaker 2: Buffalo. Let's just let's call what it is. No reason

2423
02:02:15,200 --> 02:02:19,640
Speaker 2: for Dion Dawkins to rush back, No, Joey Bosa, take

2424
02:02:19,680 --> 02:02:22,560
Speaker 2: your time, hamstring. You don't want to push those things.

2425
02:02:22,680 --> 02:02:25,360
Speaker 2: Certainly not in the cold. No, absolutely not. By the way,

2426
02:02:25,400 --> 02:02:27,480
Speaker 2: too much white gonna be on the field. Bill should

2427
02:02:27,480 --> 02:02:31,440
Speaker 2: be wearing in blue breeches. Yeah, that's fair, Uh, question

2428
02:02:31,520 --> 02:02:37,760
Speaker 2: for you answer. The coaching carousel has been all over

2429
02:02:37,760 --> 02:02:41,560
Speaker 2: the place in college football. Some have called it one

2430
02:02:41,560 --> 02:02:44,400
Speaker 2: of the biggest coaching carousels ever. When you look at

2431
02:02:44,480 --> 02:02:47,360
Speaker 2: till next year. The jobs that have been open and

2432
02:02:47,560 --> 02:02:50,080
Speaker 2: what has resulted from those jobs. If you go from

2433
02:02:50,160 --> 02:02:53,200
Speaker 2: you know, Kentucky has hired Will Stein, Michigan State has

2434
02:02:53,280 --> 02:02:56,320
Speaker 2: hired Pat Fitzgerald. U CLA went and got James Madison's

2435
02:02:56,320 --> 02:03:00,160
Speaker 2: Bob Chesney Lsu and Lane Kiffin, and then Ole miss says,

2436
02:03:00,200 --> 02:03:02,280
Speaker 2: all right, we'll take our decordinator, Pete Golding and we'll

2437
02:03:02,320 --> 02:03:05,120
Speaker 2: make him the new head coach. And then Florida got

2438
02:03:05,680 --> 02:03:11,200
Speaker 2: John Sumral from Tulane, and then Arkansas got Memphis Ryan Silverfield.

2439
02:03:12,760 --> 02:03:16,000
Speaker 2: Auburn went to USF and got Alex Golish us F

2440
02:03:16,080 --> 02:03:19,160
Speaker 2: then one and got Brian Hartline. Stanford went and got

2441
02:03:19,200 --> 02:03:23,600
Speaker 2: former Stanford quarterback ta Vita Pritchard. Tavita Pritchard. I actually

2442
02:03:23,600 --> 02:03:26,680
Speaker 2: saw that on Hard Knocks last night. Ta Vita Pritchard

2443
02:03:27,120 --> 02:03:29,680
Speaker 2: is a quarterback coach for the Commanders. There you go

2444
02:03:29,880 --> 02:03:33,160
Speaker 2: and they show this team meeting where they announced he's

2445
02:03:33,240 --> 02:03:35,760
Speaker 2: leaving to be the head coach Stanford. It was a

2446
02:03:35,800 --> 02:03:39,040
Speaker 2: really cool moment. Oklahoma State went and got Eric Morris,

2447
02:03:39,120 --> 02:03:42,000
Speaker 2: that's their new coach. Virginia Tech hired James Franklin. And

2448
02:03:42,040 --> 02:03:45,280
Speaker 2: I can't help but wonder, Austin, what's going on at

2449
02:03:45,280 --> 02:03:48,560
Speaker 2: Penn State. Yeah, a team that was ranked number two preseason,

2450
02:03:49,360 --> 02:03:52,520
Speaker 2: that played hard early in the year in some games,

2451
02:03:53,640 --> 02:03:56,680
Speaker 2: and then falls off the face of the earth fires

2452
02:03:56,760 --> 02:04:00,560
Speaker 2: James Franklin and has yet to fill the void head coach.

2453
02:04:00,720 --> 02:04:02,880
Speaker 3: It seemed like they were picking up some steam with

2454
02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:07,800
Speaker 3: Kilanie Sataki from b YU yesterday, and then it appears

2455
02:04:07,880 --> 02:04:12,480
Speaker 3: that the CEO of Crumble Cookie, who is heavily involved

2456
02:04:12,480 --> 02:04:16,600
Speaker 3: I guess with the Church and Byu, got up off

2457
02:04:16,640 --> 02:04:19,880
Speaker 3: the couch and made sure that Kilanie Sataki was.

2458
02:04:21,640 --> 02:04:23,560
Speaker 2: He's taken care of. He's staying with the Koks.

2459
02:04:23,720 --> 02:04:27,600
Speaker 3: This is apparently all that has happened with Penn State

2460
02:04:27,720 --> 02:04:32,360
Speaker 3: so far. They talked to Urban Meyer, wasn't interested. Talk

2461
02:04:32,400 --> 02:04:35,240
Speaker 3: to Mike Elko he got an extension at Texas A

2462
02:04:35,320 --> 02:04:38,600
Speaker 3: and m talked to Kurt Signetti, Matt Ruhle, Marcus Freeman,

2463
02:04:38,680 --> 02:04:42,480
Speaker 3: Eli Drinkowitz. None of them were interested. Brian Kelly tried

2464
02:04:42,520 --> 02:04:45,080
Speaker 3: to get Kaylin de Borr assuming they lose to Auburn.

2465
02:04:45,160 --> 02:04:45,800
Speaker 2: Didn't happen.

2466
02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:50,320
Speaker 3: Lincoln Riley pulled his name out of the occasion, tried

2467
02:04:50,360 --> 02:04:51,200
Speaker 3: to get Sataki.

2468
02:04:51,400 --> 02:04:51,760
Speaker 2: Nothing.

2469
02:04:52,840 --> 02:04:56,000
Speaker 3: Where do they go now? By the way, Jeff Brohm

2470
02:04:56,640 --> 02:05:00,640
Speaker 3: has just told the University of Louisville he's not freakingly Yeah,

2471
02:05:00,800 --> 02:05:04,640
Speaker 3: he's staying. I've seen the name Dan Mullen floated around.

2472
02:05:04,760 --> 02:05:07,720
Speaker 2: I like that. I like Dan Mullen. I don't want

2473
02:05:08,360 --> 02:05:10,600
Speaker 2: we saw Big Ben said that Mike Tomlin should go

2474
02:05:10,640 --> 02:05:12,720
Speaker 2: take that job. I bet, I bet Mike love that.

2475
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:16,720
Speaker 3: You want to go get Brian Kelly. You think I

2476
02:05:16,760 --> 02:05:22,360
Speaker 3: think there's an interesting name here, Okay, Brian Daboll, Brian

2477
02:05:22,440 --> 02:05:24,879
Speaker 3: Dave all of course came up with Penn State. Okay,

2478
02:05:25,040 --> 02:05:30,040
Speaker 3: he's available, Okay, could be. I'd be interesting.

2479
02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:33,200
Speaker 2: I think desperate, but I do think that's a possibility.

2480
02:05:33,520 --> 02:05:34,160
Speaker 2: Be interesting.

2481
02:05:35,960 --> 02:05:41,040
Speaker 3: Isn't it funny? Nobody seems to be interested in Brian Kelly.

2482
02:05:41,680 --> 02:05:45,960
Speaker 3: It is a little interesting. I think he's got something

2483
02:05:45,960 --> 02:05:50,320
Speaker 3: about the name Manny dis from Duke Okay, maybe got

2484
02:05:50,400 --> 02:05:51,680
Speaker 3: him playing the a SEC title game.

2485
02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:52,160
Speaker 2: Sure.

2486
02:05:52,680 --> 02:05:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel bad for Penn State. I'm so sorry

2487
02:05:55,280 --> 02:05:58,120
Speaker 3: for them. By the way, we're talking earlier about Chris

2488
02:05:58,120 --> 02:06:02,320
Speaker 3: Henry Jr. His paperwork not being filed. Oh there's been

2489
02:06:02,360 --> 02:06:06,040
Speaker 3: some more drama. Oh no, how about this four star

2490
02:06:06,600 --> 02:06:12,200
Speaker 3: athlete by the name legend Bay was committed to Ohio State.

2491
02:06:13,040 --> 02:06:17,440
Speaker 3: He's flipped to Tennessee, oh He is decked out in

2492
02:06:17,560 --> 02:06:22,120
Speaker 3: Ohio State gear at his ceremony. Wanted to be a Buckeye.

2493
02:06:22,840 --> 02:06:25,360
Speaker 3: His mom would not sign his paperwork because she wanted

2494
02:06:25,440 --> 02:06:26,320
Speaker 3: him to go to Tennessee.

2495
02:06:26,520 --> 02:06:30,880
Speaker 2: Wow. So going to Tennessee basically against his will.

2496
02:06:31,480 --> 02:06:32,000
Speaker 14: Wow.

2497
02:06:33,200 --> 02:06:33,960
Speaker 2: Could you imagine?

2498
02:06:33,960 --> 02:06:36,160
Speaker 3: How do you feel if you're Tennessee this guy commits

2499
02:06:36,200 --> 02:06:38,240
Speaker 3: to You don't learn a bunch of Ohio State gear.

2500
02:06:38,040 --> 02:06:38,880
Speaker 2: But his mom does.

2501
02:06:40,320 --> 02:06:44,200
Speaker 3: Interesting this is I was talking about this yesterday. The

2502
02:06:44,240 --> 02:06:47,960
Speaker 3: may the mayhem, and the chaos and the messiness of

2503
02:06:48,040 --> 02:06:48,879
Speaker 3: college football.

2504
02:06:49,040 --> 02:06:49,280
Speaker 2: Yep.

2505
02:06:50,200 --> 02:06:53,440
Speaker 3: I think that's what we like about it. And I

2506
02:06:53,480 --> 02:06:57,920
Speaker 3: do think that eventually it will turn on itself and

2507
02:06:58,600 --> 02:07:02,640
Speaker 3: be detrimental. And I think it's already detrimental, sure, but

2508
02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:05,080
Speaker 3: I don't know that wherever we ever really wanted to

2509
02:07:05,200 --> 02:07:07,720
Speaker 3: change because we can't get enough of it. It's a

2510
02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:10,480
Speaker 3: It's a soap opera every single day, and even to

2511
02:07:10,520 --> 02:07:12,600
Speaker 3: the point where National Signing Day has.

2512

2600
02:10:50,440 --> 02:10:52,680
Speaker 5: want to win in twenty twenty six. Fair, I want

2601
02:10:52,680 --> 02:10:54,880
Speaker 5: to get to the postseason in twenty twenty six. I

2602
02:10:54,920 --> 02:10:57,320
Speaker 5: want to treat this year like the world is ending

2603
02:10:57,800 --> 02:10:58,240
Speaker 5: next year.

2604
02:10:58,400 --> 02:10:59,000
Speaker 2: Let me do this. Then.

2605
02:10:59,040 --> 02:11:01,280
Speaker 5: I did this topic once when Walt Jockey was GM,

2606
02:11:01,480 --> 02:11:03,320
Speaker 5: and because Walt Jockety had a sense of humor, he

2607
02:11:03,400 --> 02:11:05,920
Speaker 5: laughed at it. I said, you should like some nut

2608
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:07,760
Speaker 5: job was claiming the world was going to end in

2609
02:11:07,800 --> 02:11:10,960
Speaker 5: like twenty thirteen, and I'm like, go all in, Mayan, Colen,

2610
02:11:11,400 --> 02:11:13,440
Speaker 5: go all in on this year. Because the world's going

2611
02:11:13,480 --> 02:11:14,920
Speaker 5: to end. Why are you plan for a future that

2612
02:11:14,960 --> 02:11:17,280
Speaker 5: may not exist? And they did that year, right, Matt

2613
02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:20,080
Speaker 5: Lato's all those guys, they tried. They can't close. They tried.

2614
02:11:20,320 --> 02:11:22,960
Speaker 5: I would do the same thing, pretend baseball ceases to

2615
02:11:23,040 --> 02:11:25,280
Speaker 5: exist in twenty twenty seven. Don't you want to be

2616
02:11:25,320 --> 02:11:27,000
Speaker 5: the team that wins the final World Series?

2617
02:11:27,200 --> 02:11:29,800
Speaker 2: Oh? I like that. I was asking. We were asked

2618
02:11:29,800 --> 02:11:32,960
Speaker 2: today you could choose one Bengals make the playoffs this year.

2619
02:11:33,160 --> 02:11:37,040
Speaker 2: Red signed Kyle Schwarber. Pick one, Kyle Schwarber. That's what

2620
02:11:37,120 --> 02:11:37,440
Speaker 2: I said.

2621
02:11:37,520 --> 02:11:39,520
Speaker 3: I said the Bengals because I think they could win

2622
02:11:39,560 --> 02:11:41,840
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl if they get in the playoffs without

2623
02:11:41,840 --> 02:11:43,160
Speaker 3: Mahomes and without Lamar Jackson.

2624
02:11:43,200 --> 02:11:45,440
Speaker 5: There is certainly something to that because the AFC is

2625
02:11:45,440 --> 02:11:47,920
Speaker 5: wide open. But like, I'm a fatal flaws guy, and

2626
02:11:47,960 --> 02:11:50,080
Speaker 5: that's maybe a glass half in the way of looking

2627
02:11:50,080 --> 02:11:52,240
Speaker 5: at it. What's your fatal flaw going to be? And

2628
02:11:52,280 --> 02:11:55,600
Speaker 5: the fatal flaw is going to be their defense. I

2629
02:11:55,640 --> 02:12:00,600
Speaker 5: think the dopamine rush of Sonny Kyle would be incredible. Yeah,

2630
02:12:00,680 --> 02:12:03,480
Speaker 5: and I'd be kind of addicted to it. Yeah, like

2631
02:12:03,520 --> 02:12:04,240
Speaker 5: Griffy all over it.

2632
02:12:04,520 --> 02:12:07,280
Speaker 2: There is Ah, there's one player Friday Night in the

2633
02:12:07,280 --> 02:12:09,400
Speaker 2: shootout that was alive the last time the Bearcats went

2634
02:12:09,400 --> 02:12:12,160
Speaker 2: and won at the Centas. There's one player playing Friday

2635
02:12:12,240 --> 02:12:15,080
Speaker 2: Night that's ever played in a crosstown shootout before. Wow.

2636
02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:17,520
Speaker 2: I would venture to say that if you went and

2637
02:12:17,520 --> 02:12:20,440
Speaker 2: pulled Xavier fans, they couldn't tell you maybe more than

2638
02:12:20,480 --> 02:12:23,400
Speaker 2: one player on UC's team and vice versa. Yeah, how

2639
02:12:23,480 --> 02:12:27,160
Speaker 2: much is just the new landscape of college sports hurting

2640
02:12:27,160 --> 02:12:29,720
Speaker 2: the shootout? It's not helping. I mean, it'sn't helping. Neither

2641
02:12:29,720 --> 02:12:30,880
Speaker 2: team is great right now.

2642
02:12:31,040 --> 02:12:34,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I know, I know for the dudes, Like

2643
02:12:34,720 --> 02:12:37,000
Speaker 5: I know Steve Logan senior year, he's talked about this.

2644
02:12:37,160 --> 02:12:38,919
Speaker 5: His senior year was the year they went to Centas

2645
02:12:38,920 --> 02:12:40,560
Speaker 5: and won. I know how much it meant to him.

2646
02:12:40,560 --> 02:12:42,880
Speaker 5: Now if you remember the year before, he won't like

2647
02:12:42,960 --> 02:12:45,880
Speaker 5: me mentioning this. He got his pocket picked at half

2648
02:12:45,920 --> 02:12:48,400
Speaker 5: price by Lloyd Price. Not the first time or last

2649
02:12:48,400 --> 02:12:51,960
Speaker 5: time Lloyd Price probably picked somebody's pocket. Sure, And so

2650
02:12:52,000 --> 02:12:54,840
Speaker 5: Steve as a senior, was like, I want to come

2651
02:12:54,880 --> 02:12:57,240
Speaker 5: back and win this game. Keny Martin leans into this

2652
02:12:57,360 --> 02:12:59,560
Speaker 5: rafort Kenny went one in three in it, yep, because

2653
02:12:59,600 --> 02:13:02,680
Speaker 5: it was a part of his college basketball experience a

2654
02:13:02,720 --> 02:13:06,040
Speaker 5: year after year after year. I know Jeremiah Davenport went

2655
02:13:06,080 --> 02:13:08,800
Speaker 5: oh to four in the shootout. I know how much

2656
02:13:08,840 --> 02:13:11,840
Speaker 5: that hurt him. And so I'm with you, I think

2657
02:13:11,880 --> 02:13:14,800
Speaker 5: that is hurt you know what. I think the the

2658
02:13:14,960 --> 02:13:19,040
Speaker 5: equally amazing streak is when I was a freshman in college,

2659
02:13:19,280 --> 02:13:22,400
Speaker 5: Danny Fordson scored forty points at the Cincinnati gardens Man

2660
02:13:22,440 --> 02:13:25,360
Speaker 5: and the Bearcats beat Xavier. That's the last time they've

2661
02:13:25,400 --> 02:13:28,440
Speaker 5: wanted in consecutive years, you know, ninety six.

2662
02:13:29,400 --> 02:13:32,680
Speaker 2: I also feel like with the teams, there's not like

2663
02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:35,760
Speaker 2: a JP mccura, who U see fans disliked. Here a

2664
02:13:35,840 --> 02:13:39,320
Speaker 2: Jared Cumberland who zavior fans disliked. There's just not that

2665
02:13:39,600 --> 02:13:43,680
Speaker 2: characters animosity. There's not the characters. Yeah, and like Patino

2666
02:13:43,720 --> 02:13:46,400
Speaker 2: today didn't I mean, I don't want to say downplay it,

2667
02:13:46,440 --> 02:13:47,840
Speaker 2: but he's like, we're approaching this like we do every

2668
02:13:47,880 --> 02:13:48,320
Speaker 2: other game.

2669
02:13:49,480 --> 02:13:52,440
Speaker 5: Every coach does that the first time. I mean, every

2670
02:13:52,480 --> 02:13:53,440
Speaker 5: coach says that.

2671
02:13:54,080 --> 02:13:55,960
Speaker 2: Like I just hope Wes is lee. I hope Wes

2672
02:13:56,000 --> 02:13:57,960
Speaker 2: is having former players come back and talk about the

2673
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:00,200
Speaker 2: meaning of this game. And I know Kirk cries maybe

2674
02:14:00,240 --> 02:14:03,120
Speaker 2: through a little gasoline act with his postgame comments on

2675
02:14:03,120 --> 02:14:04,000
Speaker 2: on Monday, but.

2676
02:14:04,240 --> 02:14:07,160
Speaker 5: I do think that I do think there's something about

2677
02:14:07,280 --> 02:14:09,800
Speaker 5: the familiarity with dudes on the other team.

2678
02:14:10,640 --> 02:14:10,800
Speaker 38: J P.

2679
02:14:10,960 --> 02:14:14,000
Speaker 5: Mccieraen never had an especially great game against UC, but

2680
02:14:14,080 --> 02:14:16,840
Speaker 5: you see, fans just decided we hate him. And I'll

2681
02:14:16,840 --> 02:14:18,800
Speaker 5: tell you this, by the end of David West time

2682
02:14:18,840 --> 02:14:21,440
Speaker 5: and Xavier, I was ready to take him to the NBA.

2683
02:14:21,640 --> 02:14:26,240
Speaker 5: Like I believe for years people have talked about, well,

2684
02:14:26,280 --> 02:14:28,720
Speaker 5: it's lost its luster. I don't think it's lost its luster.

2685
02:14:28,840 --> 02:14:31,120
Speaker 5: I think it's changed. And I think in that regard.

2686
02:14:31,160 --> 02:14:33,120
Speaker 5: As much as a fan of this era as I am,

2687
02:14:33,160 --> 02:14:35,600
Speaker 5: I think it's in this particular regard, it's changed in

2688
02:14:35,640 --> 02:14:38,760
Speaker 5: a way that's not as good for the sport. Now

2689
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:41,240
Speaker 5: at seven thirty on Friday, when the barn goes in

2690
02:14:41,240 --> 02:14:44,240
Speaker 5: the air, there's gonna be nothing better. But I agree,

2691
02:14:44,280 --> 02:14:47,800
Speaker 5: I do think that the constant turnover. I think you're

2692
02:14:47,840 --> 02:14:51,480
Speaker 5: constantly having to relay to guys, here's what this rivalry means.

2693
02:14:51,480 --> 02:14:54,000
Speaker 5: But if Boba Miller has a big game, he's gonna

2694
02:14:54,000 --> 02:14:59,120
Speaker 5: be a Xavier villain forever and likewise for you know,

2695
02:14:59,320 --> 02:15:02,200
Speaker 5: one of their guys. So whoever that may be. And

2696
02:15:02,240 --> 02:15:04,200
Speaker 5: I use Boba because I think if he's healthy, he

2697
02:15:04,240 --> 02:15:06,520
Speaker 5: is the best player on the floor. Yes, and that's

2698
02:15:06,560 --> 02:15:09,240
Speaker 5: a factor in this game. We talk about it every year.

2699
02:15:09,320 --> 02:15:11,760
Speaker 5: Jared Cumberland's senior year, he was the best player on

2700
02:15:11,800 --> 02:15:13,600
Speaker 5: the floor. We went into the game thinking he should

2701
02:15:13,640 --> 02:15:15,320
Speaker 5: be the best player on the floor. So it's about

2702
02:15:15,320 --> 02:15:18,920
Speaker 5: one of two things. An unheralded guy that suddenly comes

2703
02:15:18,920 --> 02:15:21,120
Speaker 5: from nowhere and has a great game Zay has had

2704
02:15:21,240 --> 02:15:23,240
Speaker 5: many more of those over the last twenty five years.

2705
02:15:24,080 --> 02:15:25,960
Speaker 5: Or does the best player on the floor prove that

2706
02:15:26,000 --> 02:15:28,200
Speaker 5: he's the best player on the floor. I think that

2707
02:15:28,360 --> 02:15:30,600
Speaker 5: should be Baba. Yeah, doesn't mean it will be. I

2708
02:15:30,600 --> 02:15:32,360
Speaker 5: don't know that he has enough of a resume for

2709
02:15:32,440 --> 02:15:36,240
Speaker 5: us to say definitively that he is. We'll see what

2710
02:15:36,280 --> 02:15:38,080
Speaker 5: else you got coming up on the show. I think

2711
02:15:38,120 --> 02:15:41,160
Speaker 5: I just did a show for you perfect. Eric Wood's

2712
02:15:41,160 --> 02:15:42,800
Speaker 5: going to be on the show. Nice Elder High School,

2713
02:15:42,800 --> 02:15:46,400
Speaker 5: Buffalo Bill's radio analyst talk about the game on Sunday,

2714
02:15:46,600 --> 02:15:48,840
Speaker 5: we have that Rick Boring will be on the show.

2715
02:15:49,360 --> 02:15:52,400
Speaker 2: Rick is going to talk Rick talking in the press conferences.

2716
02:15:52,200 --> 02:15:54,480
Speaker 5: Savior and Rick has me as a guest on his

Speaker 2: Nice.

2719
02:15:55,680 --> 02:15:58,320
Speaker 5: Oh, and I'm gonna ask him, like, does anybody on
