He's 29 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: apparently accommodating enough to move off his four thirty slot 30 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: to make it work on the predictions, and then the 31 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:25,559 Speaker 1: usual Lavelle with his phone adventures scheduled for five thirty 32 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: this evening.

Bradshawn Brian 34 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: k FA N text line six four six eighty six. 35 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: If you would like to get in on the some 36 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: of the fun, we would be delighted to hear from you. 37 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: We already are hearing from you, as is often the case, 38 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: especially as we get towards the end of the week, 39 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: get closer to a football Saturday and a football Sunday 40 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: as well. I'll ask you this question because your job 41 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: is to pay extra close attention to college football and 42 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: to the Golden Gophers. And I'm not here to tell 43 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: you that post this momentous, calamitous occasion, that the Gophers 44 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: have been in the abyss that they have not had 45 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: any good moments. And I may have even asked you 46 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: this question before, but I'll ask it to you again, 47 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: and I'll ask the audience again, did everything change on 48 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: the basis of what took place on this date? What 49 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: is the date? By the way, Yeah, I know where 50 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: you're going in the year two thousand and three regarding 51 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: Golden Gopher football. Now, for the faint of heart, I 52 00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: never suggest or advise people to change. Then, I prefer 53 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: you stay here. If we had a trigger warning, we 54 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: probably would issue it or play it right now. But 55 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: we get in trouble if it's a warning sign sound 56 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: So I can just voice that and pass it along 57 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: to you. On this date in the year two thousand 58 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: and three, remember well, game that got moved to a 59 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: Friday night, as I recall, it sure did because of 60 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: baseball playoffs. Correct it sure did. Yeah, a Friday night. 61 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: The Golden Gophers, who until that night that game had 62 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: knocked off Tulsa forty nine to ten, Mighty Troy State 63 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: forty eight to seven. Who did Alabama play that year? Ohio? 64 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: Or is Glenn Mason would say? Ohio, Ohio forty two 65 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: to twenty. There went to Athens and got it done. 66 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: Anna Lafayette here my goodness, forty eight to fourteen at 67 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: Penn State, ranked twenty fourth at the time, beat them 68 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: twenty to fourteen at Northwestern. Actually, I don't think Penn 69 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: State was ranked. I think the Gophers were ranked twenty 70 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: fourth at that point. At Northwestern ryan Field, we destroy 71 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: the Cats forty two to seventeen, and that sets up 72 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: one of the most highly anticipated college football games in 73 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: Golden Gopher history. We're going to host number twenty Michigan. 74 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: We're actually ranked higher going into that game. We're ranked seventeen, 75 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: they're ranked twenty, and we go through the first half 76 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: through three quarters, go through their defense like Butter I 77 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: was covering. I want to say it was a Minnesota 78 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: wild opener, or at least a wild hockey game. I'm 79 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: in the wild press box making my usual trips to 80 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: get popcorn during breaks, and every time I look up 81 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: on the t at the TV, University of Minnesota is 82 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: driving again, I think by through three quarters they might 83 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: have had three hundred yards rushing. They just absolutely look 84 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: like Michigan looked like the impostor. Michigan looked like us historically. 85 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: We looked like not only the better team, but the 86 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: dominant team. And if we win that game, we go 87 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: to six and oh one, two, three, four or five 88 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: no seven and oh for Mike yo and the world 89 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: seems to be our oyster because all we have left 90 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Michigan State, although they were 91 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: ranked Illinois, a terrible Indiana team, Wisconsin iolow is ranked twenty, 92 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: and you started thinking, like, this is different than anything 93 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: we've seen in Golden Gopher football, obviously since the national 94 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: championship days. They go back to the early sixties and 95 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: then the Bernie beermann Here this was different. We're frolicking, 96 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: and then the fourth quarter happened. We gave up in 97 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: one quarter thirty one points. Ultimately we lose on a 98 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: late field goal thirty eight to thirty five. Now, you 99 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: can't say the team that year never that they collapsed, 100 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: although the next week they did lose yep to Michigan 101 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: State in front of like half the crowd at the 102 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: Metro Dome. That's true, forty four to thirty eight. But 103 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: then they beat Illinois, they crushed Indiana, they beat Wisconsin 104 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: yep reslide field goal thirty seven to thirty four. We 105 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: did get pummeled at Iowa, but then we ended up 106 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: in the Sun Bowl that year. I was there for 107 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: that one too, and we finish the entire postseason ranked 108 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: twenty fourth in the country, which again for University Missios. 109 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: But I to this day wonder whether that was the 110 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: day where everything changed that I often I guess project 111 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: how much life might have been different for Mason, for 112 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: University of Minnesota football if they completed that destruction of 113 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: the University of Michigan on that fateful Friday night. You 114 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: were there, weren't you? I absolutely was there. I was 115 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: there and I just started working here. How crushed were you? 116 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: I was crushed because of everything that you just said. 117 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: It felt like this was the moment. Yes, And for 118 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: somebody who grew up going to games at the Metro Dome, 119 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: I remember that as the first time for two things. 120 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: Number One, where Washington Avenue, before all the condos and 121 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: stuff were built, those used to be tailgate lots for 122 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: Vikings games. Nobody ever used those for Gopher games, very rarely, right, 123 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: And I remember Washington Avenue being just a sea of 124 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: maroon and gold on a Friday night in downtown Minneapolis. 125 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: And then you went to the game, and it was 126 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: the first time I remember to sell out that was 127 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: all Gopher fans. That wasn't people from Wisconsin helping out 128 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: or people from Iowa helping out. It was the first 129 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: time I ever remembered a full sold out crowd with 130 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: ninety percent Minnesota fans crowd. You're right, And as I 131 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: said flippantly, the next week, the crowd was half that 132 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: because the moment was there, and the moment passed and 133 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: the balloon got deflated. And I remember almost everything from 134 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: that week. I remember how we covered it on the fan. 135 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: I was an intern. I remember all kinds of stuff 136 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: that we were doing in terms of coverage, the Friday 137 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: night aspect of it, and then to have them tease 138 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: you like that and basically dominate the game. They ended 139 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: with four hundred plus rushing its right. Masa always tells 140 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: a story about Lloyd Carr calling him on Monday and saying, 141 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: I don't know how we won that game. You kicked 142 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: our ass which is convenient, and but it's true they were. 143 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: They were dominant for forty five of the sixty minutes 144 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: sixty two thousand, three hundred and seventy four at the 145 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: Dome for that game, and sixty thousand of them were Minnesota. 146 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: The next week, Michigan State here thirty eight, seven hundred 147 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,599 Speaker 1: and seventy eight. It was like, that's it. Yeah, we 148 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: thought we had it. Now we don't. We're bored, We're done. 149 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: We get it the same old team. Now do you 150 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: remember what happened specifically in that court in the fateful 151 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: fourth quarter? I remember a lot of screen passes. It began. 152 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: Michigan starts the quarter with the ball. They drive resolutely, 153 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: ten plays, touchdowns, now twenty eight to fourteen. Next drive. 154 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: Problem for the Golphers was that was the pick six drive. Aside, 155 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: Abdual Kalik yep throws a pick six, So now it's 156 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: a touchdown. That quickly it's gone from you're in control 157 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: to it's a touchdown game. However, we did respond at 158 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: that point too quickly. Abdua Khalik fifty two yard touchdown 159 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: run right up the middle. On the next drive. You 160 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: remember it well, I do. I was in the end zone, 161 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: and I remember the Sea's partying in him just going 162 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: straight down the other way. Do you remember what happened 163 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: sixty seconds later? I don't. Fifty two yard touchdown pass 164 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: to Braylen Edwards. Oh yeah, he's pretty good. Michigan then 165 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: gets a rushing touchdown from your guy Chris Perry, a 166 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: field goal from Garrett Revas, and now we're down three. 167 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: It's thirty eight to thirty five. We have the ball, 168 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: and I don't remember how many yards this one was. 169 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: Somebody will tell us Dan what a soda might Abdul 170 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: Khalik had a big run on what it would have been, 171 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: at least either a game tying field goal driver, game 172 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: winning touchdown drive. But guess what happened. In fact, I 173 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: think I would have put Minnesota at the fifty or 174 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: near there, clipping play allegedly, Well that's it, there you go. 175 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: And I believe he threw a desperation pass. Not long 176 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: after that his second interception, and at least this one 177 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: wasn't also a pick six and we lose. I couldn't 178 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: believe it. In fact, I had a hard time. I'm 179 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: not sure I watched any hockey that night much to 180 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: the chagrin of Kevin Folomas, because it was you really 181 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: felt like, well, this is something historic here. We haven't 182 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: because I had suffered through covering a lot of bad 183 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: Gopher football for sure. Man the Whacker years, Oh my god, 184 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: it was bad. It was really bad. And ultimately, like 185 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: I said, the Gophers won their bowl game that year, 186 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: I believe. Didn't they win that game? I think they did. 187 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: I think they lost to ninety nine, but I think 188 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: they won that year. Yeah, they won thirty one thirty. 189 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: That's the that's yeah, in two thousand. We're talk about 190 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: two thousand and three, correct, Yeah, yeah, So I wasn't 191 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: at that game, right, I was at the Millennium Bowl, 192 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 1: right against Oregon. Against Oregon, that's shit. But we win 193 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: this one thirty one thirty, and so again we finished 194 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: ranked number twenty four in the country. I don't know how, Look, 195 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: it's an easy game of projection that they wouldn't have 196 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: lost to Michigan State the next week if they'd beat 197 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: Michigan whoever, I mean, you don't know. Might they have 198 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: been so buoyed by being undefeated that they might have 199 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: run the table or had a better chance to beat 200 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: Iowa because I don't even I don't think they were 201 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: particularly competitive in that game off. I don't remember the 202 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: final score was like eighteen. I think that we lost 203 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: by But I always have felt even though no matter 204 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: how many years go by, and no matter again, what 205 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: was our big year under Fleck nineteen? Yeah, you know, 206 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen was obviously a good year. It could have 207 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: been better, but it was a good year for sure. 208 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: So it wasn't like they've never recovered. But I just 209 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: felt like that was the spot. It's Michigan. Yeah. Again, 210 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't the Michigan of well recent Harbor vintage or 211 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: Bochem Beckler vintage, but still Michigan. They won the Big 212 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: Ten that year and went to the Rose Bowl. There 213 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: you go, that Michigan team two. You can't you can't 214 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: get when you're this kind of program, you you you've 215 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: got to do it when you have the opportunity to 216 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: do it, because so rarely do you have the opportunity 217 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: to do it. Exactly right, That's how I felt. I 218 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: was thinking about that week in a way because Missouri 219 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: has Alabama tomorrow in Columbia, and Missouri has been, you know, 220 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: a good program. They've had moments they're in the SEC now, 221 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: but they've been building for a year like this in 222 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: a game like this, and Alabama's not Alabama of Nick Saban, 223 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: but they're still pretty damn good, right, and so they're 224 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: kind of in that mode tomorrow, like this is the game, 225 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: this is what you've been waiting for. It. You have 226 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: your opportunity now to announce that you're on the big 227 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: stage and ready for the big stage. And let's see 228 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: what they do with it. Because the three quarter, like 229 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: you said, people were, they were good people, just beam 230 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: They were a really good team because it none of 231 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: it felt. It wasn't like Tricker ration. Nope, it wasn't 232 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: fluky balls, tipped off hands. It was Barbara and moreles. 233 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: They barbecued him at the line of scrimmage. They were 234 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: that easily the better team until they weren't, and then 235 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: they lost, and then they lost the next week too, 236 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: the double WHAMMYE a lot of texts coming in. That 237 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: was my first Gopher game I ever went to. Yeah, 238 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: was right beneath the scoreboard in the in the nosebleeds. 239 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: Because the nose bleeds, you needed those seats. It was full, unbreakable, 240 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: is what he says. I remember watching the game in 241 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: my basement in Pine City with my father and recalling 242 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: him saying, the game's not over. I was busy celebrating. Wow, 243 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: he indeed was right. Why didn't you ask Mace about 244 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: the anniversary, Dan, Well, if you want me to be honest, 245 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: because I have a heart, no one believes me. Mace 246 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: won't believe it. We have talked to him about that. 247 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: You've talked to him about in many, many times over 248 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: the years. The game he gets asked about more than 249 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: any game in his career. No question, no question, any 250 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: victory probably no question. You asked guards if they won, 251 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: but you already had that score pulled up. Fraud What 252 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: is he talking about? What does that mean? You have 253 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: to explain exactly where where where the fraudulents is regarding 254 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: were talking about the Michigan game or a different game? Oh, 255 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: I just had the wrong Sun Bowl year because I 256 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: actually was thinking that was the one I attended. It 257 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: wasn't mine. Was the millennium. That's anohing to do with. 258 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: I hadn't No, I didn't have it called up. We 259 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: went to multiple sun so many critics, Dan. I also 260 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: remember the game while I was bartending while going to College. 261 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: Then we had a sign that said profanity will not 262 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: be tolerated in the bar. I remember after the long 263 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: pass that I took a post it note and covered 264 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: up the not. 265 00:16:58,960 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: It. 266 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: Suddenly profanity was indeed not only tolerated, it was probably encouraged. 267 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: That was a complete meltdown for the ages. And the 268 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: bad luck too. There's so many bad luck things, but 269 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: that the Gopher's final touchdown that you mentioned too soon. 270 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,479 Speaker 1: It was just too quick, yeah, like, because they had 271 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: clearly solved something with the Gopher defense that they were 272 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: exploiting in the fourth court. And once you get you know, 273 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: the pick six, and once you hit a when you're 274 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: down that big, you throw caution too. The wind right, 275 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: you basically can just do whatever you want because the 276 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: game is essentially lost in your mind, what do we 277 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: have to lose? But I remember thinking at the time, 278 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: I feel like he scored too fast. The Gopher's advantage 279 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: would be hold the ball, run the ball like you 280 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: and milk the clock and let's get the hell out 281 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: of here. But you can't tell a guy not to score, 282 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: especially from midfield. No, I mean, yeah, you can't say 283 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: take a knee or like drop get to the five 284 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: yard line and then fall down and then we'll try 285 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: to run like six more or trying to do five 286 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: tush pushes from the file. There was still plenty of 287 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: time left in the game, but it was just they 288 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: scored so fast. It got Michigan the ball back exactly right. 289 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: A lot of good techts coming in, uh regarding that, 290 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: and you know that's what that's twenty two years ago. Yeah, 291 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: I mean that's a while, but it's not so long 292 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: ago that there. You know, it's impossible that a lot 293 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: of people in our audience can remember it, and a 294 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: lot of people wouldn't necessarily, I mean, people like we said, 295 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: might have even been available. What I can't find this 296 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: is sad I looked via ESPN dot com and they've 297 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: got the box score on it, or I should say 298 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: they have team stats. No, that says unavailable too, so 299 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: they this must have been one of those deals where 300 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: it's for whatever reason, there's statute of limitations has run 301 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: out of the game room. Maybe Mason demanded that you 302 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: you try to, you know, take away much of the 303 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: record of it, because I what I want to remember 304 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: is what our running backs had. Of our running backs, 305 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: if you can find that let me know, maybe via 306 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 1: a gopher website or someplace else ESPN. The box score 307 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: won't come up. Oh yeah, I'll be able to find it. 308 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: Book five. But it was over four hundred yards rushing. 309 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: I remember. Do you remember that too? Yeah? You had 310 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: Lawrence Maroni and Mary and Barbara the Third. Yeah, they 311 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 1: were clinical, they were ridiculous. All the nostalgia is a 312 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: swift kick straight to the grief bone. That's a good term, 313 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: the grief bone. I haven't heard that one before. Which 314 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: bone would be the grief bond? Well, you pick, you choose, 315 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: you pick? Umm. Can you ask Whalen the next time 316 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: that she's on if the story of her saying what 317 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: the bleep is he doing regarding abdul Callique's pick six 318 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: is that if that's an accurate story, that's not one? 319 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: I know, it sounds possible. Whalen would say it. Yeah, 320 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: in the moment. I mean she's a competitor. Yeah, there's 321 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: no question. Mary and Barbara the Third that night against Michigan, Okay, 322 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: twenty one carries one one and ninety seven yards. He 323 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: averaged nine point four yards of carry almost two hundred 324 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: yards him alone. I start will do a Calliague nine 325 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: carries one hundred and six yards, including the fifty two 326 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: yard touchdown. Lawrence Morony Lomo nine carries eighty one yards. 327 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: You can't make that out. The starting running backs averaged 328 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: nine yards of carry or more against Michigan. Now, I'm 329 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: gonna suggest that somewhere there's there's a researcher who is 330 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: gonna be able to tell us that there has never 331 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: been another college football game ever played in which a 332 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: team with two running backs who each each averaged nine 333 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: yards of carry and had as many carries as each 334 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: of them had ever lost that game. I can't imagine 335 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: another team, any other team losing. Both your ball carriers 336 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: averaged nine yards a carry and you lost the game. 337 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: It's crazy to think about. And it happened on this 338 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: date in the year two thousand and three, not that 339 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: far off. What's the I'm sorry, why are we bringing 340 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: up the rest of the show. I mean we're going 341 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: to tackle ninety eight three. I know, No, this isn't 342 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: the date and anniversary date for me. I mean as 343 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: a missed in two years. That gets Why does that 344 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: game get played so much on NFL network. That's a classic. 345 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: It was a colleague eight of nineteen for seventy one 346 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: yards and two picks. Yeah, that's that's how you lose. Yeah, 347 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: there you go, that's it. That's part of how you 348 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: four hundred yes, four hundred and twenty four yards rushing. Well, 349 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: will we a better passing team than that? Much of 350 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: that year was I don't recall. I know we were 351 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: built on the ground. Yeah, but I'm wondering if we 352 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: were a little better. Right, Yeah, I'm sure we were 353 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: a little bit better. Because that's not good. That's not 354 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: very good. That's really bad. Who is their top runner? 355 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: Chris Perry? That's right, Chris Perry. And now what did 356 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 1: he do? Twenty carries eighty nine yards, that's four point three. 357 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: That's not John Navarre was their QB thirty three of 358 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: forty seven for three point fifty three and two. But 359 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: they had to throw it they were down. Yeah, you're right, 360 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 1: Chris Perry caught eleven balls out of the backfield. Those 361 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: are the screen passes that I keep thinking about. Okay, 362 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: I just remember that over and over again. Just chunk 363 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: plays Brayln Edwards ninety three yards on seven catches, Jason Levant, 364 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: Steve Preston. They had some good dudes. They must have 365 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: caught us on a throwback pass because John Navar caught 366 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: a pass for thirty six yards. I think that was 367 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: coming down to the end zone. I was sitting in okay, 368 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: I do remember that. And Navarre wasn't that good and 369 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,360 Speaker 1: that was a touchdown? No, he was just a guy, yeah, 370 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: kind of ordinary. But we made him. Who was our 371 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: best defend Who is our best defensive player on that team? 372 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: Do you remember? Let me pull it up here, see 373 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 1: what we have. So just just for the sake of 374 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: again making it a little bit more relatable, I mean 375 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: Darryl Reid was a good linebacker that played some in 376 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean Tremaine Banks, Uki Dozer, Eli Ward, 377 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: he let us and tackles with eleven Lawyer Tom says. 378 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: That was when college football stopped the clock after a 379 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: first down until the ball was marked and ready for play. 380 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: Michigan was going down the field with ten to fifteen 381 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: yard passes. They have two or three drives of seven 382 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: to ten plays that took less than two minutes off 383 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: the clock. I was screaming at the TV for a 384 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: full half hour. The rules different now regarding first I 385 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: thought it still the clock still stopped that. Well, they 386 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: stopped doing that a couple of years ago. Maybe last 387 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: year was the first year where they keep the clock running. 388 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: I think, do you have any idea why college football 389 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 1: is stubborn about adhering to the rule that if an 390 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: offensive player is untouched but hits the ground, the play 391 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: is dead. I don't know. Safety. It must be. I 392 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: don't know why they do it. Well, I sorry, if 393 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: you sign up for football, you might get hurt. I 394 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: have to deal with it, okay, Dave Portnoy, Well, I'm 395 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: just thinking, like the play Jags quarterback guy had, Yeah, 396 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: that plays dead in college football falls down. That's true twice. 397 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: I don't like I think that. I'm amazed there hasn't 398 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: been much more of a movement unless it's, as I said, 399 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: maybe it is the safety thing. So it wasn't Chad 400 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: Hanny that year? It was Navarre right, Yes, yeah, right, 401 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: somebody thought it was Hanny. I think Navar is right. 402 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: He was kind of he was a big strapping yes, lad, 403 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: wasn't he he was? Yeah, that's how all the Michigan 404 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: quarterbacks were. That's true. Yeah. And the next was it 405 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: the next day that the twins were eliminated by the Yankees. 406 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: It could have been. I know they were playing a 407 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: playoff game, That's why they had to move it to Friday, 408 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: So it could have been. But I'm not sure. We'll 409 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: double check that. I think that was definitely one of 410 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: those years for sure. By the way, for those wondering 411 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: about football picks, they are coming. But Gerby apparently had 412 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: some sort of wiz dot meeting that he could not 413 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: get out of, at least he claims Friday meeting. I 414 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: don't know if I believe him. There might be more 415 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: of the story there usually is with him, but he 416 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: is a pix or. Scheduled for four thirty at usual 417 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: time today four to thirty. Guestling five and Lavelle e 418 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: Neil the third will join at five thirty. Let's try 419 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: to try to get some bonus Bucks going the fan in. 420 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: Two men and a junk truck want to give you 421 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: a shot at Bonus Bucks with our national Cash Contest, 422 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: and cash is the first keyword of the afternoon. Go 423 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: to cafe in dot com enter the keyword cash. A 424 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: lot of outstanding texts kind of laying out the history 425 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: people's individual and personal connections to that rather calamitous game 426 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: twenty two years ago on this date, Gophers blow a 427 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,959 Speaker 1: twenty eighty seven to fourth quarter lead at home against 428 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: Michigan as the higher ranked team the Gophers were and 429 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: end up losing in regulation. Being a student at the 430 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: U two thousand and one to five, I was present 431 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: for the Michigan meltdown in three. One interesting aspect going 432 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: into that game was the preparation on campus for another 433 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: potential riot after the two and three men's hockey riots. 434 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: Do we still have the SoundBite somewhere we do? Everything 435 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: was looking good for another unruly celebration on campus, and 436 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: then the fourth quarter happened. It is that was from 437 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: like the twenty thirteen riots. Oh is that far? They'll 438 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: go that far back? Yeah? That much further, I guess further. Actually, 439 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: by the way, this guy Jonathan Choe, Yeah, I was 440 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: informed he was part of the ANTIFA panel that presented 441 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: to President Trump earlier this week. That right, we might 442 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: have to do some dude digging, so maybe the rioters 443 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: put him out. He never recovered. He never recovered, but anyway, 444 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: he did a masterful job that night. He was great, 445 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: very adverse. But yes, we had the championship riots of 446 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: the two three years when we won the national championship. 447 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: Those are the days, man, Those were indeed the days Dan. 448 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: If you recall a critical situation, the game was a 449 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: fourth in inches near midfield, with the Gophers clinging to 450 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: a thirty five to thirty one lead, Mace conservatively opted 451 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: to punt. What if without punishing the ground game was 452 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: without punishing the crown game was? The punt was actually controversial. 453 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: I don't remember that play. I'll take him at his word. 454 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: I will say that in two thousand and three, that's 455 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: what most coaches would have done, I think, don't you, 456 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: because the change, Yeah, at both levels. I think it's 457 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: about ten years old, isn't it. I don't think it's 458 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: much older than that. Maybe fifteen years, but we'll never know. 459 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: But it's certainly a fair point. I do not remember 460 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: that particular sequence, but I will take him at his word. Well, 461 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: there was one more I want. Oh, Chris Perry was 462 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: Mischig's leading receiver eleven receptions. Yes, running back by the way. 463 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: Yeah it look and I guess I'm not totally surprised 464 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: that the whining has already begun from the Kevin Faulness 465 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: fueled hockey community. Wild just smoked them five to nothing. 466 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: We're talking about this stuff. I love you, Paul. I 467 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: love that you listen. I appreciate it. I'm sure you're 468 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: tickled pink about the way the Wild started the season. 469 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: It's a nice start. Took care of business, scored well. 470 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: When the Blues try to kind of dominate, our newly 471 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: compensated goaltender handled it beautifully in Period two. Special teams 472 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: weaknesses a year ago. We're not in this game. But 473 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell I'm gonna warn Paul now, and 474 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna warn members of the hockey community, and they 475 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: may not like it. I actually think they should love it, 476 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: but they may not like it because it's their sensitive lot. 477 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: We're upping the standards and the expectations and the demands 478 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: on this show. I can't speak for other programs, but 479 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: I can speak for this one. It's time, man, It's time. 480 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: So the unfortunate dilemma the team is is they can't 481 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: fast forward to the playoffs. I get that, but we 482 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: are going to hold back on at least I on 483 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: on any major enthusiasm about this team until I see 484 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: a payoff to get out of at least round one. Sorry, 485 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,479 Speaker 1: it's time and if you want to enable them, Oh, 486 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: cho club, Hey, great, great opener. We had a great 487 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: opener last year, I think, and didn't we didn't we 488 00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: we started the season great last year. But we're at 489 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: a point now where we got to up the handy 490 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. We got to up the heat. We're 491 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: out of the salary. Cap Hell. Allegedly, we got young 492 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: people that we want to play if they'll show they're 493 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: worthy of it. They've been highly tutored. They now they 494 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: got to prove it. Caprice office got his money, the 495 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: goaltender has gotten his money. So I'm not demanding Stanley 496 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: Cup title or bust. But I'm saying, no, we're a 497 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: cute little start to the season is uh, We're not 498 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: going to play that game anymore. If we ever did, 499 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: we certainly haven't played a lot of it the last 500 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: few years. But this year, for me especially, I ain't 501 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,239 Speaker 1: playing that game anymore. I just I can't do it. 502 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: I would think if you're I mean, is this the 503 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: state of hockey? Instead of being defensive about that, I 504 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: would think you'd agree with that and say, yeah, yeah, 505 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: it is time I get it. Grant on a tougher 506 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: curve it's okay. We encourage it because we're the state 507 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: of hockey. Haven't we graded on a curve long enough 508 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: for various reasons at the pro level at least, So 509 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: smoke him if you got them. But I I you know, 510 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: go ahead and raise the commemorative print to a dominant opener. 511 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: Five was a five nil? Is that the final score 512 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: against a very average Saint Louis? Now see that's not 513 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: gonna help him. He's going to be a bitter, but 514 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: it's undeniable. So I I, yeah, I come on that. 515 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: It could be Paul's a falest burner account. I could 516 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: be that would not even surprise Paul fallness. Yeah, Vikings 517 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: have done whatever. I can't stand the hypocrisy. Well, there's 518 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: two problems with that, actually three? Can I name them 519 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: in order? Let's start with the most obvious. If what's 520 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: the name? There no name on this one? Three two 521 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: oh gay. I don't know how long three to two 522 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: oh guy has listened to the show. But if he 523 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: thinks the Vikings have gotten a pass on this program 524 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: for its postseason no shows lately, he's listening to the 525 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: wrong show or he's on another frequency. Now, football is 526 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:26,479 Speaker 1: always different because there are only now seventeen games, so 527 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: each game can feel like it's something more. Also, the 528 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: built in broad level interest in the Vikings is on 529 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 1: another level undeniable. But how often do I bring up 530 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: on this show? We love koc, We love a lot 531 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: of what he stands for, We love what he has 532 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: to say. Blah blah blah. Sooner or later, you got 533 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: to make our move. You got. Similarly, they have not 534 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: even won a single playoff game? Have we not said 535 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: that on this show? Over and over come on man, 536 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: the calendar of calamity is not spared to Minnesota Vikings. 537 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: Unfortunately for me, we've discussed a lot of the NFC 538 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: Championship game meltdowns, including nineteen ninety eight and I share 539 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: my memories and even more recent every time. Of course, 540 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: the playoff debacle against the Rams. Weren't we favored to 541 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: win that game? I think we were. We weren't even 542 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: competitive in that game. So there's a hockey fan bitter 543 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: with your suggesting Saint Louis's average. They made the playoffs 544 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: last year. Can't you make the playoffs and be average? 545 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: I mean, how many teams make the playoffs? It's sixteen? Still, right? 546 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: It is you can be pretty average and make the playoffs, right, 547 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: I think Russol called them like the Central Division, like 548 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: wild card team. Correct, they're kind of a wild card. 549 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: We'll see, you know. They might be sneaky, they might 550 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: be plucky. But I also remember listing I think to 551 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: the it was to the Wild broadcast last year or 552 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: the year before, and they were talking about their big 553 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: rebuild and how it was going to take some time. 554 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, they're just okay. Yeah, they're certainly not considered 555 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: upper echelon at this point. Maybe they will emerge. They 556 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: were a few years back. When they go out of 557 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,959 Speaker 1: the playoffs on the first round. Well, everybody's done that 558 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: though pretty much anything but way you'r led towel tomorrow night, everybody, 559 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: if the playoffs started today, the Wild would be in, 560 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: like Flynn, Yeah, well that cannot be controversial. Although you 561 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: reminded me we don't go to eighty four games until 562 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: next season. Is that correct? According to Fawdness, who immediately 563 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: corrected me last night on it, I thought we were 564 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: on top of everything. We were pretty close. I'm just 565 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: impressed we knew they were expanding to eighty four. No, 566 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: I'm glad you reminded me because I did. I did 567 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: remember it, but I couldn't. I couldn't even recall which 568 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: year it was going to be. But you think it's 569 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: going to be next year. That's what Kevin told me, 570 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,959 Speaker 1: and I trust him. You'll report when the quarterback gets 571 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: a hangnail though. 572 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 2: Yes, yes we will, yes, yes, I don't know what 573 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 2: to tell you. We will, too, old guy, you can't 574 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 2: be you can't be this naive, can you. 575 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: You can call it unfair, but I'll ask you again. 576 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 1: I mean, when is the let let's try to put 577 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: an end to this nonsense. Can you name me the 578 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: last time the Minnesota Vikings made it to the NFC 579 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: title game? That would be the Minneapolis Miracle year with 580 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,760 Speaker 1: case Keenum, How seventeen a while ago? Yep, but seventeen. 581 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: Can you name me the last year the only year 582 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: in which the Minnesota Wild made it to the conference finals, 583 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 1: the same year we're talking about with go for football 584 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: right now? Two thousand and three. Then come on, So 585 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: even if you want to measure on that standard, it 586 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,280 Speaker 1: doesn't hold up. But it's again, it's the hockey community. 587 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: They're oh, they they're all excited, you know, they they 588 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: want to believe badly, and I've nothing good. Looks God, 589 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,600 Speaker 1: you see that looks good in the box score. Nobody 590 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: has more points than we do right now. You can't can't, 591 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: don't believe. Uh, Peter Popsicle needs to let Dan know 592 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 1: that no team in NHL history has started the season 593 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: ller to four. So where we are very much in 594 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:22,879 Speaker 1: the race, you're hanging banners for making the conference finals. No, No, 595 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: I'm suggesting that if the Hockey Zealots point was what 596 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: are the go what are the Vikings done? They have 597 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: at least made it to the Final four a couple 598 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: of times more recently than the only time that the 599 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: Minnesota While did. And if you want to go back 600 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: far enough, even though they lost them all, they made 601 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: it to four super Bowls. It's been a while. That's 602 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: the point. No, we don't grade on. We don't. We 603 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:53,240 Speaker 1: don't put up commemorative banners for conference finals appearances. Maybe 604 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,400 Speaker 1: for a win to get to the championship round super Bowl, 605 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: and or probably would right now the Vikings get to 606 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. All you said it a couple of times, 607 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 1: you'd take it. I would the Minnesota Wild get to 608 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup Finals and lose in four most people 609 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 1: are still gonna take it. I think we're all of 610 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: that in that place. Let's do this. Let's pause right now, 611 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: get caught up, don't forget top of the No. Yeah, 612 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 1: four o'clock now, four thirty is the Gerby prediction segment? 613 00:37:21,520 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: Is that correct? That is correct? I can't wait? Uh 614 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,840 Speaker 1: six one two? Guy rightes. Oops. No team in NHL 615 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 1: history has started oh and four and won the Cup 616 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: in the history of hockey. That surprises me a little bit, 617 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: given how long the season is. I think oh and 618 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: four wouldn't necessarily mean I bet you there have been 619 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: some Stanley Cup finalists that have gotten there. Probably now again, 620 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: what's interesting. I'm getting a little pushback on the other 621 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: side from some members of the hockey community. Said Blues 622 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: goalie was terrible, lucky win. We were completely dominated in 623 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: terms of play on the ice for much of the 624 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 1: second period. That's not very positive. I don't know. I 625 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: don't know what I'm not saying. It's a loss by 626 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: any stretch of the imagination. I think we just have 627 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 1: to just have to. I think hold uphold a little 628 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: high standard. I have a speaking of higher standards, I 629 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: have a well wings question for you, as in, you know, 630 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: wings and drummis that those kinds of wings. And I 631 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 1: don't want to go into what's your favorite flavor? You know, 632 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: what's your favorite marinate, what's your favorite sauce, whatever, That 633 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: doesn't really interest me that much. But I happen to 634 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: be in one of the outstanding Kowalski stores. This was 635 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: about a week and change ago, and hold on to 636 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: this and I can't. I don't want to hold on 637 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: it any longer because the bile is building up. And 638 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: at most Kowalski's they have a very diversified wings section. 639 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: They have some boneless wings that don't do much for 640 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 1: me but are popular, and then they usually have what 641 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: they call their grilled wings, roasted wings, and then they 642 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: have what they call Minnesota rub which are also you know, grilled, 643 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: but just a slightly different marinate or flavor, whatever you 644 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: want to say. And on this particular occasion, in fact, 645 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: it was a Friday, might have been like one or 646 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,800 Speaker 1: two enough, SAIDs Ago. We tape you know, nuonish the program, 647 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: and in this case, I think it was the Eden 648 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: Prairie Kowalski's because that's not that far from where we 649 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,440 Speaker 1: tape and there was a guy in front of me 650 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 1: waiting for It looked like they the wing, the main 651 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 1: grilled wings was the pot was just about empty. Okay, 652 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: so it looked like he was patiently waiting for you know, 653 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: maybe he even had asked, you got more wings coming next, 654 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: and they said, big matches coming, stay tuned. So I 655 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: do get a couple other things done, and I come 656 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: back and there's a there's like an enormous vat of 657 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: wings that have now been slapped down in this particular 658 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, bowl, a pot, whatever you want to say, 659 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: and this guy, it's not I'm not offended that the 660 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: guy who had been waiting filled up two large containers 661 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: of wings, because again, you got something big going. What 662 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,359 Speaker 1: do you know, you're there, it's you know, all's fair 663 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,319 Speaker 1: in love and war. But what did offend me was 664 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: he literally took every single drummy section of the wing. Everyone. Yeah, 665 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: we need it's time, We need wings monitors who have 666 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,960 Speaker 1: the good sense to make the tough decisions and to say, 667 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: I get it. Most people like the drummy more than 668 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,320 Speaker 1: the what do they call the other part? There's a 669 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: name for it. Yeah, I don't know about I'd just 670 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 1: say the wing part. Most people love the drumming part better, 671 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,879 Speaker 1: and I we all do, including me, most of the time. 672 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: I think I like the wing part better. Well, okay, 673 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 1: you might be right. I don't love the drum all 674 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: the time. So well, actually, if it's too chunky, I 675 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: don't either. But regardless, we need You're gonna need to 676 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: establish some drumming monitors who have the good sense to say, 677 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: all right, I'll accept seventy five twenty five because that's 678 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: what most people do. I'm not gonna accept ninety eight 679 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: to two. That's that's we are rejecting that percentage. Put 680 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,399 Speaker 1: some of the damn drummers back, or I'm gonna watch 681 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,760 Speaker 1: and say that's it. The drummers limit eight drummis. Shouldn't 682 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 1: there be enough self censorship going on that you say, well, 683 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: good conscience. I can't leave with where the remaining wings. 684 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: There is literally not a single drummy left, or if 685 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: it was I did find one, it was like Buried. 686 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,760 Speaker 1: The only reason he didn't take it. It was like Buried 687 00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 1: didn't find it. No under three or four of the others. 688 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: That was kind of scrawny looking. That was it. There 689 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: should be I mean, in all honesty. We know there's 690 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: not enough people working to have wing monitors, and most 691 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,640 Speaker 1: of them won't have the guts, especially in Minnesota, to 692 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,839 Speaker 1: say hold on, that's enough. Yeah, this needs to be 693 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: This needs to be a determination made by people just 694 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 1: being fair to the rest of the community. Oh, you 695 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,360 Speaker 1: honest is self police, That's what I'm asking You're not 696 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: going to do that? Impossible. No, we're not going to 697 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: do that. That will never happen. Does there need to 698 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: be a sign though, like there is for like the 699 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 1: self checkout lane that says ten items or less or 700 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,880 Speaker 1: fifteen items or less. Do they need to have a 701 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 1: sign that says, please limit yourself to eight drummies or less. 702 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,799 Speaker 1: That's not a bad idea. I do six drummies. Well, 703 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,800 Speaker 1: does that need to be at least a step in 704 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 1: the right direction, because I don't think they're going to 705 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 1: have you know, retired police officers can monitoring the drummies 706 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: in you know, a high time director's chair. To be honest, 707 00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,839 Speaker 1: they need to be packing heat too, because I think 708 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 1: you gotta make sure, Yeah, you gotta make sure that 709 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,399 Speaker 1: there that people feel a little bit of concerned and Okay, 710 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 1: I gotta follow the rules here. How many drummers you 711 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 1: got there, sir? You might yeah, you're probably right about that, 712 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,760 Speaker 1: And I don't know what the number is. I honestly don't. 713 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 1: And again he's there, no one else is around here. 714 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,839 Speaker 1: You say, well, I got a big crowd. I'm going 715 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: to whatever the case may be. But have some self respect, 716 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 1: just a little bit, just a modicum of restraint where 717 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: you go. Yeah, that's kind of not fair. I gotta 718 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 1: I gotta keep a few. I gotta lead allow several 719 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: of the other drummers. By the way, the other part is 720 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 1: called the flat. The flat, Okay, the flat can confirm 721 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: a number of people saying they like flat like flats better. 722 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: I think I do, And that might be true. But 723 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 1: there seems to be a reason that most wings bars 724 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: I go to there are more flats available than there 725 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 1: are drummis. That seems to indicate more people tend to 726 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,280 Speaker 1: prefer the drumming part. So this concept that you're talking about, 727 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: I run into this, and it's too bad maces and 728 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: on this show today at all, because as we could 729 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 1: talk Michigan. But his other favorite topic is me and 730 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:08,720 Speaker 1: the food line right as many times and it always 731 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 1: happens where you know, and you know how the media 732 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: buffets work their buffets usually, right, they're just vats of stuff. 733 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: And speaking of lack of restraint, exactly, sports writers and 734 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 1: media jackals and broadcasts are the most gluttonous people earth, 735 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to change that. So I'm in the 736 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,359 Speaker 1: middle of the line at Ohia at a higha stadium. Yes, 737 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: and I've noticed that I don't even remember what it was, 738 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 1: the chicken, masta choli or whatever we were eating in 739 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 1: Columbus is getting a little low. And I got fifty 740 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 1: two people behind me, right, So do I want to 741 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: be the guy that just means out the tray? I 742 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 1: don't know when the Red Coats are bringing the next one. 743 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 1: So what do I do? You just take a modest amount, 744 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 1: take a couple a couple of shelves, and responsible if 745 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 1: I have to come back if I'm still hungry, which 746 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 1: I probably will, but I'm not just going to bury it. Well, 747 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: I got thirty people behind me because of what you 748 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 1: just said, we existed a society, yeah right, there need 749 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 1: to be some kind of norms. So yeah, I left 750 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,839 Speaker 1: a few shelves in there. Did you get rewarded? I mean, 751 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 1: anybody noticed and say thank you for leaving some behind. No, 752 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,319 Speaker 1: but you don't do it for the thanks now, you 753 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: just do it because you want to be a good person. 754 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,280 Speaker 1: But I am so I can think I'm thinking about 755 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,799 Speaker 1: being that guy. At Kowalski's. I probably would have thought, hey, 756 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 1: do you want drummis? What have you been You've been 757 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,799 Speaker 1: waiting here for twenty five minutes like me? Do you 758 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: want a couple of drummers too? Or do you want 759 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,359 Speaker 1: the flats? I might have checked in on you, by 760 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: the way, Zach writes Dan, that was me. All I 761 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: have to say is your or you should have gotten 762 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: there sooner. That's a doggy dog guy right there. That's like, 763 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 1: bleep you, it's your problem. Yeah, at Kowalski's they can 764 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 1: afford armed drummy cards. They probably could. A good point, 765 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 1: good point, that's probably true. Flats are far and away, 766 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,719 Speaker 1: more are far and away superior. Shame on you. Well 767 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: that's just taste though, And again I do not dislike 768 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 1: the flats. If the drummy this is where's it sounds? 769 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:03,279 Speaker 1: If it's two lump, got too much meat on it, 770 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,359 Speaker 1: I actually don't like it as much. I'm not sure 771 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,239 Speaker 1: that I enjoy the flavor quite as much, so I 772 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: end up going to a decent number of flats. I 773 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: just want the option, Yes, you'd like to choose. Yeah, 774 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:14,919 Speaker 1: I'd like to be able to have the chance. Rather 775 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,319 Speaker 1: than this Jamoke who basically had two massive, you know 776 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 1: containers just and every every bleeping one of them was 777 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 1: a drummy. It's like, God, man, it's okay. You know, 778 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 1: we're not there's no storm coming. It's not like you're 779 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 1: gonna have another chance at it. He might have had 780 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 1: eaton Prairie football tailgate. He had to get to
