36
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 7: Oh?

37
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: Bummed out about what happened on Saturday, but not a

38
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 4: surprise at Husky Stadium. I know you picked Oregon to cover,

39
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 4: and I gotta be honest with you, man, I think

40
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 4: Oregon's good. I don't think they're that good, and maybe

41
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: college football just isn't that good. But I did not

42
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: see I think an elite football team in the Oregon

43
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: Ducks on Saturday.

44
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 7: How about you?

45
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 8: No, I think that they have, for the most part

46
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 8: in very good, but not elite this season.

47
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 5: Now. I think some of it has to especially the

48
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 5: last few weeks.

49
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 8: They're out missing their top two receivers, so that does

50
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 8: have an impact on the passing game.

51
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 5: But they are not playing like.

52
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 8: They were playing last November and when they went into

53
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 8: the playoff as the you know, the favorite. Really but

54
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 8: I'm not sure that they're in a worse position because

55
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 8: you don't want to be peeking too early, and I

56
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 8: think that it's possible. Dan Landing learned that lesson the

57
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 8: hard way last year and and so we'll see if

58
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 8: they can, you know, up their game in December. But

59
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 8: they are not nearly as overpowering as they were a

60
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 8: year ago.

61
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 9: John Again, Husky fans, including myself, not thrilled with the

62
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 9: play calling from Jed Fish. I mean, the passing game

63
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 9: was miserable, to say the least, particularly on first down,

64
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 9: where they were two of eight with two sacks and

65
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 9: two interceptions every time they threw the ball on first down.

66
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 9: I don't think and Softie's asked Jed the question. It

67
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 9: was a while ago, but he's asked in the question,

68
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 9: would he, by the way, at the beginning of the season,

69
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 9: right or in the middle the middle of the year,

70
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 9: when you've ever relinquished play calling duties. His answer was no.

71
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 9: But how about a different question for you? Should Jedfish

72
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 9: be willing to relinquish his play calling?

73
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Dude?

74
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 9: This is especially when a guy, Hey, look who's on

75
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 9: the market, Jonathan Smith is out there on the market.

76
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 5: What do you think I think he should be willing

77
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 5: to consider it?

78
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 8: You know, the end of the season, everybody does his

79
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 8: self scout, and I would say that Jed Fish should

80
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 8: give it some serious thought.

81
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 5: I don't know that I think he has to.

82
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 8: I think what he's got to do is recruit better

83
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 8: offensive linemen. I think that's a big problem for them.

84
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 8: And it's it's fine their offensive line and their skill players.

85
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 8: It's fine against Minnesota and Illinois. It is not good

86
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 8: enough to beat the best teams in the Big Ten.

87
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 8: And I don't care who's calling the plays. You know,

88
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 8: you get at Bill Wall's calling the plays. If your

89
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 8: offensive line is not that good, there's only so much

90
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 8: you're gonna be able to do against the really good opponents.

91
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

92
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, four sacks, six TfL is allowed against the Ducks

93
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: on Saturday, So what's the situation? Can you explain to

94
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 4: people this situation with the Bulls man, because you still

95
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 4: have all this and connection to the old Pack twelve.

96
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 4: I don't know how excited, honestly, guys, Husky fans are

97
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 4: for a ball game, right if you're not in the

98
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: college football playoff, then okay, whatever, But what is the

99
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 4: thing to be.

100
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 7: To know?

101
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: Excuse me about this ball schedule as it sits right now?

102
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 8: Well, basically, the legacy the twelve legacy Pac twelve teams

103
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 8: are tied to the same bowls that they were when

104
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 8: they were together in the conference, which means, in order,

105
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 8: the Alamo, Las Vegas, Holiday Sun, and La Bulls and

106
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 8: then there's a couple of other options below LA.

107
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 5: So that's the deal.

108
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 8: They didn't The only other option would have been to

109
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 8: reconfigure the bowl arrangements for the ACC and the Big

110
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 8: Ten and the Big twelve, and they just thought it

111
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 8: was easier to keep those teams tied to the PAC

112
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 8: twelves games. This is supposed to be the last year

113
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 8: of it, but if they don't change the CFP for

114
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 8: next season, if it stays at twelve, we may have

115
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 8: this arrangement one more year.

116
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 9: Wow, all right, Saftie and I are largely in agreement.

117
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 9: When it comes to non playoff bowl games. They're pretty

118
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 9: worthless and they're just like, they're all the same. I

119
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 9: would make one exception, though, and I think I hold

120
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 9: still the Holiday Bowl in much higher regard than I

121
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 9: hold all the rest of the non CFP bowl games.

122
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 9: And the Huskies could get there, as it looks like

123
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 9: it's one of the two places. What are the chances

124
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 9: do you think that the Huskies do land at the

125
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 9: Holiday Bowl?

126
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: And what needs to happen.

127
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 8: Less than fifty uh maybe thirty forty. I think it's

128
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 8: you know, the Huskies are not going to El Paso, right,

129
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 8: and the Bulls do not like repeats. So to me,

130
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 8: it's either the Holiday picks either Washington or Arizona. And

131
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 8: if the Holiday picks Arizona, Washington's gonna end up at

132
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 8: the La Bowl against the Mountain West Roona. I think

133
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 8: that the Holiday would probably lean toward Arizona.

134
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 5: They are hot, they have nine wins, they are ranked

135
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 5: eighteenth in the New CFP. It's a close.

136
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 8: You know, it's an easy flight, decent drive for Arizona

137
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 8: fans for ticket sales, that's my guest, But I don't know.

138
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the Holiday Ball is now on January second,

139
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 4: by the way, and it's played at the end at

140
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 4: the San Diego State Aztec Stadium snap Dragon Stadium.

141
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

142
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 4: I'm gonna agree with Dick that the Holiday Bawl just

143
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 4: the the allure of the Holiday Bowl. The name Holiday

144
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 4: Bowl means a lot more than the other games. But

145
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 4: I just think that twelve game playoff has just kind

146
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 4: of ruined the Bull season for a lot of teams

147
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 4: out there, and yeah, Washington's probably one of them. But hey,

148
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: let's talk about some coaching things that came up today.

149
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 4: Kialate Sataki staying at BYU turning down Penn State.

150
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: He's LDS, He's Mormon. Is that right, Sataki?

151
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 5: I believe so. Yes, he's perfect.

152
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 8: Py's perfect for him, right, And he's perfect for PYU,

153
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 8: And I think that was the smart move.

154
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 5: It would have been a bad deal for him at

155
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 5: Penn State.

156
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 8: Some coaches just fit really well at certain places and

157
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 8: nowhere else.

158
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 5: And he's perfect for BYU.

159
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: Well where does Penn State go?

160
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 7: Now?

161
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 5: Boy good? I think they got to start over.

162
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 8: I mean, what they should do is try to go

163
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 8: get Matt Campbell from Iowa. State, right, he has not

164
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 8: left Iowa State. He's been a one in man for years.

165
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 8: The guy's a phenomenal coach. You win inight or nine

166
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 8: games all the time at Iowa State, You're doing something right.

167
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 8: I don't know why they didn't go after him hard

168
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 8: early on, but they boy, they are having a time

169
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 8: finding a coach, and you wouldn't expect that.

170
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 5: It's Penn State. But that's my.

171
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 8: Guess, is that maybe they try to lure Matt Campbell

172
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 8: out of Ames.

173
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: Are you surprised at all?

174
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 9: The college football playoff rankings just came out in the

175
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 9: last hour and Old Miss was not negatively affected by

176
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 9: Lane Kiffin leaving, unlike what we saw with Florida State

177
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 9: and Jordan Travis. So evidently a quarterbacks more important than

178
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 9: a head coach as far as rankings go. Were you

179
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 9: surprised that Old Miss wasn't docked with without having their

180
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 9: head coach the rest of the season.

181
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 5: No, I wasn't.

182
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 8: I mean, I was a little surprised that they moved up,

183
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 8: but not that they kind of held their ground. There's

184
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 8: one big difference though, between Ole Miss and Florida State,

185
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 8: and that is that the committee got to see Florida

186
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 8: State play without Jordan Travis through and Florida State did

187
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 8: not look good. They don't They aren't going to have

188
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 8: a data point to judge oh Miss without Kiffin, so

189
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 8: that could help the rebels. I think it also might

190
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 8: help that Kiffin basically released Charlie West Junior from his

191
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 8: LSU duties to go back to Ole Miss to be

192
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 8: the offensive coordinator through the playoffs, right to provide some continuity,

193
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 8: and that could also have impacted the committee's decision.

194
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think what the committee did to Florida

195
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: State last year was disgraceful, to be honest with you.

196
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 4: I mean, imagine the NFL. You know what, you guys

197
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 4: aren't playing very well right now. We don't think you'll

198
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: do well in the playoffs, so you can't go. Somebody

199
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 4: else can take your spot.

200
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the.

201
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 4: Body of work. Whatever happened to the body of work.

202
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: But John Wilder is with us on the air. You

203
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 4: want to weigh in, by the way and the lane

204
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 4: Kiffin think, I know it's an sec deal, but it's

205
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 4: the biggest story in college football with him leaving Ole

206
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 4: Miss early a playoff team to go be the head

207
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 4: coach at LSU. He's taken crap from a lot of people.

208
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: Some folks are defending him. Where do you fall in

209
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 4: the Lane Kiffin story?

210
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 5: Man, A couple things real quick.

211
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 8: One, nobody should be surprised he's the worst. He's like

212
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 8: the guy in sign filled the Bad Breaker upper right.

213
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 8: He is this was this was it was going.

214
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 5: To be ugly.

215
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 8: Uh, the moment he got hired by old Miss, the breakup.

216
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 5: Was going to be bad.

217
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 8: But the other thing that has struck me more than

218
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 8: anything else is that is the ESPN conflict of interest. Right,

219
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 8: You've got those guys on on game Day, the most

220
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 8: influential college football show there is. They're all saying, oh,

221
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 8: Ole Miss should let him stay and coach him in

222
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 8: the playoff while he's employed by a rival school and

223
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 8: can recruit those players. Yes, and yet and and the

224
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 8: thing is, who's linkaps agent? Jimmy Sexton, who's Nick Saban's agent,

225
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 8: Jimmy Sexton, K kurb Street, Jimmy second Right, They're all compromised,

226
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 8: and yet they're out there on that platform, and it's

227
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 8: I think it's a problem for college for college football.

228
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 5: But that's my other thought.

229
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 9: You also mentioned that the academic calendar is a problem

230
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 9: for college football. Yeah, we explain that to us and

231
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 9: and what needs to change so we don't have coach

232
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 9: is leaving CFP teams before they play in the CFP.

233
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 5: Well, see, that's the thing. I don't think it can change.

234
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 8: But the point that a lot of people, you know,

235
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 8: I saw a lot of stuff like dan Orlowski and

236
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 8: some other guys on there just ripping the college football calendar.

237
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 8: And it's like, the reason the college football calendar is

238
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 8: the way it is is because a school, because.

239
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 5: They have to The players have to enroll at.

240
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 8: Their new schools in January when the semester starts, so

241
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 8: you have to if they're going to transfer, they have

242
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 8: to do it before the semester at their new school.

243
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 5: That's the problem.

244
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 8: They can't just pick up and go from one college

245
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 8: to another college in the middle of February. The higher

246
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 8: education doesn't allow for that. So unless there's only two options, really,

247
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 8: which is you move the entire football calendar up, which

248
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 8: I think they should do, You play the National championship

249
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 8: at the Rose Bowl every year. Then you start what

250
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 8: is effectively free agency and coaching changes, and the kids

251
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 8: can get where.

252
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 5: They want to go. In time to enroll in January.

253
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 8: The other option is you move the transfer portal till May,

254
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 8: but that has been proposed and was shot down by

255
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 8: almost everybody.

256
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 4: Well, there's a third option, John, and that's let football

257
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: players enroll when they want.

258
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: They're not regular students. Why treat it well regular students?

259
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 8: That's that is a bridge that the university presidents, and

260
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 8: I'm not disagreeing with you at all. The university presidents

261
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 8: are not willing to go there yet. Maybe in a

262
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 8: couple of years, but not right now.

263
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 4: What do you think of the Beams getting JaMarcus Shepard?

264
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: How do you think he'll do down there?

265
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 8: I think it depends on who he hires as his coordinators,

266
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 8: and it depends on how much NIL and revenue sharing

267
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 8: the Beavers can muster. I mean, kids will want to

268
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 8: play for him, but they're going to want their dollars more.

269
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 5: And if they don't have enough ANIL and rev.

270
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 8: Share to compete with c Diego State and Boise State,

271
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 8: I think he's gonna have a hard time.

272
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 9: What about the same question for Bob Chesney at UCLA

273
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 9: is at an unfixable situation in their current state?

274
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 8: No, I don't think it is I'm just not sure

275
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 8: that Bob Chesney is the right guy. I mean, they're

276
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 8: banking on the fact that because because Kirk Signetti wonted

277
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 8: JMU and went to Indiana is doing great, that Bob Chesney,

278
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 8: who won at JMU, can go to UCLA and essentially

279
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 8: be Signetti two point zero.

280
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 5: And I don't know that that's the case.

281
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 8: They are two different coaches, and Signetti had a much

282
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 8: bigger body of work, and by the way, he had

283
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 8: also worked for Nick Saban.

284
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 5: Chesney does not have that, so I'm a little skeptical.

285
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 4: Actually, well, they had both schools in the Bay area

286
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 4: where you live, John and John Wilner again with us

287
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 4: courtesy is simply Seattle dot com have new coaches. Tavita Pritchard,

288
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 4: who's from Tacoma Clover Park, is that right, is the

289
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 4: new coach at Stanford. And then reports out that Toash

290
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 4: Lapoy is going to get the cal job, which ten

291
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 4: years ago, Tosh Lapoy would have been like kryptonite.

292
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: Nobody would have hired him to be ahead to college football.

293
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: And now that you can pay guys, it's not a

294
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: big deal. So who's getting the better? The better higher

295
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: in your mind Tosh Lapoy at Cal or to Vita

296
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: Princhard and Stanford.

297
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 8: Uh yeah, they are finalizing the deal with Loup Boy.

298
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 8: You know it's interesting there, there's the whole thing is

299
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 8: so similar. You've got a GM who's a legend at

300
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 8: the schools, Andrew Luck at Stanford, Ron rivera Cal hiring

301
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 8: former players from the schools.

302
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 5: Uh.

303
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 8: You know, I would say I think Pritchard might have

304
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 8: a better chance because Stanford has got so much money.

305
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 5: That if they just put have the willpower to win,

306
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 5: they can win CAL.

307
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 8: The challenges are a little bit steeper, but for both

308
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 8: of them, there's a great opportunity in the ACC, right,

309
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 8: I mean, given where Florida State and Clemson are right now,

310
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 8: you look at the the ACC. The top of the

311
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 8: a SEC is Virginia Duke and Georgia Tech. Right, it's

312
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 8: like the revenge of the SAT scores. I think James

313
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 8: James Franklin, you know, he's got to be salivating in

314
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 8: Virginia Technic and I can go in there and win

315
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 8: this league.

316
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 7: John.

317
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: That leads me perfectly to my next question.

318
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 9: I'm watching the college football playoffs and they're saving two

319
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 9: spots for conferences that have no teams that should be

320
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 9: in the.

321
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: College football playoffs.

322
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 9: Meanwhile, teams like Miami, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas, all teams

323
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 9: that are far better than any school in those other

324
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 9: two conferences, are not going to make it because of that.

325
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: How long do we have to deal with this nonsense?

326
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 6: Jick?

327
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 5: Did you root against Butler and March madness?

328
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 7: No?

329
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: I didn't root against Butler much.

330
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 5: Okay, because it's kind of the same thing.

331
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 8: You want to have access for the little guys, right,

332
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 8: So the funny thing.

333
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 5: Is, right, Duke's got five losses. If they win the

334
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 5: ACC championship.

335
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 8: They may not get into the playoff, and you could

336
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 8: have two group of five teams, the American winner and

337
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 8: the Sun Belt winner in the playoff and nobody from

338
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 8: the ACC, which would be the ultimate humiliation.

339
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 5: But they have to have.

340
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 8: Spot access for a group of five or else a

341
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 8: group of five is going to sue their pants off.

342
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 4: Well, upsets and Cinderella runs are a lot more likely

343
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 4: in basketball than they are in football.

344
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 5: They are Oh, I totally.

345
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 8: Agree, I totally agree, But they have to they have

346
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 8: to have access for everybody.

347
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: All right, John, Before you go, here we go, man,

348
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 4: you have put together one hell of a season, buddy.

349
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I think a lot of folks are wondering

350
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: why the hell you're wasting your time writing about college

351
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 4: football when you should be betting on college football.

352
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: Ten and four on the air. You've won five games

353
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: in a row.

354
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: You got a shot to wrap up the regular season

355
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: before the ball games of the playoff. Eleven and four

356
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 4: over fifteen weeks. So Wendelorean is back on the proper

357
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 4: path that he's taken. Names on the way to Valhalla.

358
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 4: Johnny Wilder, who do you like to go eleven to

359
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 4: four on the air.

360
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's kind of a tough we I am gonna

361
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 8: go with Indiana because I just think the Big ten

362
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 8: Gate Championship means a lot more in Indiana. Ohio State

363
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 8: just won the game that mattered most to them, and

364
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 8: now they got their sites set on another national championship Indiana.

365
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 5: I don't know the.

366
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 8: Last time that Indiana won the Big Ten Championship, right,

367
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 8: it's probably pre war.

368
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 5: So I just think that they are gonna play all

369
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 5: out to win that game.

370
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 8: And I am not convinced that Ryan Day is going

371
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 8: to do everything it takes to win the Big Ten Championship.

372
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 5: You know that they their national title or bust.

373
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: Nineteen sixty seven. That was the last I was negative six.

374
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 5: Well, good, good and so.

375
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 9: And the time before that was the War nineteen forty five.

376
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Kurt Signetti was like forty eight years

377
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 4: old back in nineteen sixty seven. All right, so we're

378
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 4: gonna take Indiana plus the four and a half against

379
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 4: Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game. All right, man, John,

380
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 4: great stuff, and we will talk a week. Buddy, appreciate it, Pal,

381
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 4: thanks a lot. All right, Hell, have a run for him.

382
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 4: Ten and four on the air so far this year.

383
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 4: This is why you listen to this radio show. Never

384
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 4: mind Picking the Locks or whatever the hell that show

385
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 4: is on Friday. This is where you gotta come. You

386
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 4: want handicapping advice right here with John Wilner ten and four.

387
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 4: My god, and he likes Indiana plus the points and

388
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 4: good reasoning too, is exactly right.

389
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: This game means way more to India.

390
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 9: I have not been this blah about a number one

391
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 9: versus number two college football tame man. I can't even

392
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 9: remember because it doesn't matter.

393
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: What's funny.

394
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 4: I don't think either team would even want to play

395
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 4: the game. I think they would say just skip it.

396
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 4: I mean, this would you want.

397
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 9: To show if you've got to potentially play him in

398
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 9: two in three weeks, four weeks in a national championship game.

399
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: It's not even that that's part of it too, but

400
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 4: I mean getting guys hurt before the playoff. Absolutely, that's

401
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 4: the point of this. You imagine Mendoza goes down. How

402
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 4: about Julian saying, or Bo Jackson or anybody? My god, Alright,

403
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 4: we're gonna break. We got a lot more to get to.

418
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 4: of seats for the December tenth game against the LA Kings.

419
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 4: By the way, I was just looking at the Husky

420
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 4: basketball schedule because they play Ucla tomorrow. I don't think

421
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 4: a lot of people realize the Big Ten Play starts

422
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 4: tomorrow for you. Normally Big Ten play conference play would

423
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 4: always start in January. But the way this whole thing

424
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 4: is set up, they got Ucla at home tomorrow, at

425
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 4: USC on Saturday, then they play Southern Utah, Seattle, U

426
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 4: San Diego, and then a good Utah team and then

427
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 4: go to Indiana on January fourth. So they always because

428
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 4: there's eighteen teams in the conference, you got to start

429
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 4: it a little bit earlier. So they're plugging in a

430
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 4: couple of games in early December. But I was looking

431
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 4: at it that five of the first seven Husky Big

432
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 4: Ten games are against USC, Indiana, Purdue, Michigan, and Michigan State.

433
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: Those are all ranked teams.

434
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 4: The Huskies have a run when they restart Big Ten

435
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 4: Play Dick in January, where they go to Indiana to

436
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 4: Purdue and then come home and host Ohio State, Michigan

437
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 4: and Michigan State. That is the number twenty two, number one,

438
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 4: number three, and number sevent team in college basketball right now.

439
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 9: And the way it works, good luck, and then net

440
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 9: rankings is if you can go one in four or

441
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 9: against those five teams.

442
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: Squad one right and look good in.

443
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 9: Your four losses, you'll actually help yourself in the net

444
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 9: rank well.

445
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 4: And last year they did not look good in those games.

446
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 4: They got destroyed in those games that they played. For

447
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 4: the most part, they got hammered by Michigan State. They

448
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 4: got hammered by Michigan. They got pretty clocked by Purdue.

449
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 4: The score doesn't indicate it, but the second half we

450
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 4: were there was an absolute stomping by them. They lost

451
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 4: by eleven to Oregon. They were all double digit losses,

452
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 4: every single one. So they just have a real kind

453
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 4: of front heavy schedule here, Dick where they're gonna have

454
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 4: a chance to show what they are. And look, I

455
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 4: don't know what UCLA is. They don't look great on

456
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 4: paper right now. USC is okay, you know, go down

457
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 4: to la Or I mean, you got the game here

458
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 4: against the Bruins tomorrow and then go there, you'll split those.

459
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty happy with that.

460
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 7: I think.

461
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 9: So it's just a matter we got to ask Tony

462
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 9: when we have them on. It's like what type of

463
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 9: team we're going to see on the floor, because they

464
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 9: have they have just been ravaged with injuries, not only

465
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 9: the long term injuries the front court. Now you add

466
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 9: Hannes Steinbach to that injury list, and it's just it's

467
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 9: just a completely different team.

468
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: They're a team that struggles shooting anyway. When you don't

469
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: have bigs and you can't shoot right, that's tough.

470
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 4: Where do you think you would go in this city

471
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 4: to get a real feel for what sports fans think?

472
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 4: If you wanted to go somewhere in person, would it

473
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: be a sports bar sports? Would it be a Sea

474
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 4: Hawk game? Would it be a Mariner game? Sounder games?

475
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: Is sportsbook? Sports book?

476
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 6: Okay?

477
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 5: All right?

478
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: Sportsbook?

479
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 4: I think so absolutely head to these because like sports bar,

480
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 4: like I don't know, like my local sports bar, there's

481
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 4: a lot of casuals.

482
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 5: I think a sportsbook you are finding the real intense sports.

483
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, I've been to a lot of

484
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 4: sports books. There's a lot of morons hanging around some

485
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 4: of these sports. But they're intense sports. Yeah they are,

486
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 4: but I don't know if they're really Like, for example,

487
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: here's the point I'm getting at. If you went to

488
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 4: a sports book or a sports bar or a Sea

489
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 4: Hawk game and said, Okay, how many people here like

490
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 4: to root for the Husky basketball team? Raise your hand?

491
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 4: Many people here know who Hanna Steinbacher. I see what

492
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 4: you're saying. How many people know who Desmond Claude is?

493
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 4: How many folks know who Wesley Yates is?

494
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 7: Right?

495
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 4: How many people know who JJ Mandequid is. I don't

496
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 4: think anybody knows who these guys are yet.

497
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I think you could have said the same

498
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 9: thing about the Husky football team for the most exactly.

499
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 4: So what that's the point. The point is that they're

500
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 4: all flying under the radar. All these guys are flying

501
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: under the radar. I think you're exactly right. I think

502
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 4: that's just the era of college sports we live.

503
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,479
Speaker 9: And I think I think other than the few teams

504
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 9: that have stars returning, like the Huskies will have a

505
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 9: star quarterback return even though you didn't play like a

506
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 9: star a lot of this year, they have a well

507
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 9: known guy returning, I think college football. It's just totally

508
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 9: called sports now, it's totally different.

509
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: You don't the fans do not know who anybody is

510
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: through the season.

511
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't agree with that if you're in

512
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 4: a town with a good team. I think if you

513
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: go to ann Arbor and list it off Michigan Wolverine players,

514
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 4: they know Purdue West Lafayette, they know Michigan State East Lansing,

515
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: they know Champagne, Illinois, they know they know who those

516
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 4: guys are. I think the point is that these guys

517
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 4: have been so bad for so long, and they've changed

518
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 4: their roster so much that people just don't They have

519
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 4: not been able to identify with these guys. They have

520
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 4: not been able to be a part of what's going

521
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 4: on over there because they've given them no reason to

522
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 4: be a part of it, right, I mean the Romar era,

523
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 4: the Hopkins era, now the Danny Sprinkle era. Hopefully, we

524
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 4: think this is a pretty talented basketball team that could

525
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 4: get off to a decent start.

526
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: You know, there were the five and two or whatever

527
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: it is now.

528
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just wish they didn't have ten play that

529
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 9: schedule you mentioned, but early, I mean, that's brutal, It's

530
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 9: absolutely brutal, and they're gonna lose games because of it,

531
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 9: and they're gonna have fans that won't be on the

532
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 9: wagon because of it.

533
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: What they need is they need to go.

534
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 4: Into the Big Ten Conference play and they need to

535
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 4: go on like a ten to three run to really

536
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 4: get people fired up about this basketball team.

537
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: And I don't think they can do that yet.

538
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 6: No.

539
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: And here's the problem.

540
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 9: They're gonna lose most of their games between now and

541
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 9: January twenty ninth, right, which everybody's gonna be the same

542
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 9: old Husky Sam Old Huskies. Which is not the case,

543
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 9: because guess what, once February rolls around, they are going

544
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 9: to rifle through teams Penn State, Minnesota, Maryland, Rutgers, Wisconsin.

545
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 9: They got a run of crap that they're facing in February.

546
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: But it might be too late for people to care.

547
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 7: Yeah.

548
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 4: I just don't have that same optimism you do, Dick.

549
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I just don't understand how anybody can sit

550
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 4: here and say with any authority whatsoever that this team

551
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 4: is absolutely going to turn it around.

552
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: Come the end of January. What have they done to

553
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: show that. I just hope you're right.

554
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 9: I just told you they were going to lose almost

555
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 9: every game between now and then. You said they turn things,

556
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 9: aren't a rifle through the big teach? Well, I think,

557
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 9: because can anybody say that? Well, I mean, all I

558
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 9: can do is read, which is which I do. I

559
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 9: follow that what dave. I read the recruiting rankings. I

560
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 9: read the I read these teams and what the type

561
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 9: of talent that they have and what they have coming back.

562
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 9: And the top of the Big Ten and the bottom

563
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 9: of the Big Ten is as big a gap in

564
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 9: basketball as it is in football. So it's not going

565
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 9: to be any different than the huh Ski football team

566
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 9: who could not beat Ohio State, could not be Michigan,

567
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 9: could not be Oregon.

568
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: But what did they do to the bottom? They rifled

569
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: through it.

570
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 6: Yeah.

571
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 4: I just again, I don't know how anybody can sit

572
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 4: here and say with any sense of optimism, authority proclamation

573
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 4: that this is going to be this or this is

574
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 4: going to be that. Look, you can make those proclamations

575
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 4: if you want, and you may in the end be right.

576
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: Your predictions may be one hundred percent accurate.

577
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 4: I think what we have a hard time doing sometimes

578
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 4: in this business, at least for me, is just saying

579
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 4: I don't know, dude, I don't know, and I really

580
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 4: don't know. I don't know what Danny Sprinkle's all about.

581
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 4: I don't know what his staff is all about. I

582
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 4: don't know if this roster can come together fast enough

583
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 4: to do what you're talking about doing. But you have

584
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 4: no idea.

585
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 9: Yes, but you have seen this team play seven or

586
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 9: eight times, and please tell me you think it is

587
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 9: massively better than the roster last year.

588
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 4: I might jumps off the screen. Yeah, I think it

589
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 4: is better than they were a year ago. But they

590
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 4: haven't gotten into Big ten play. Who knows what those games?

591
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 4: I mean, you're talking about murderers row Right of USC,

592
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 4: Indiana's brutal Purdue, Michigan, Michigan State. Who knows what that

593
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 4: will do to them? They come out and get started

594
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 4: getting hammered by people. I have no idea how these

595
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 4: young guys are gonna respond. I mean, he's got to

596
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 4: put together a group of eleven twelve new players and overnight,

597
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 4: he's got to make it happen.

598
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: So look you again.

599
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 4: People want to say things like that, That's totally fine.

600
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 4: I am just so in the dark on this basketball team,

601
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna wait and see what they do. I

602
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 4: think they've got a lot of individual talent. There's no

603
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 4: question about that. They have put together a class of

604
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 4: players that individually they look way better than what they

605
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 4: had a year ago. Position for position. Absolutely, there was

606
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 4: no Steinbach on this team. A year ago, there was

607
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 4: no Wesley. They didn't have any of those guys last year.

608
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 4: But can they play together? Can they play together? I

609
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 4: don't know, dude, I have no idea, and I'm just

610
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 4: gonna sit back and I'm gonna wait until I see it.

611
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 4: Because I think Husky fans, I think a lot of

612
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 4: Husky fans. I don't want to speak for Husky fans

613
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 4: the sense I get. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong,

614
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 4: and I apologize if I'm wrong. I think a lot

615
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 4: of Husky fans are in wait and see mode with

616
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 4: this basketball team. They've got to prove to a lot

617
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 4: of people that they're worth coming out to watch play

618
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 4: in fighting traffic to watch them play at seven thirty

619
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 4: eight o'clock on a Wednesday or Thursday night at heck Edge.

620
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: So I hope you're right.

621
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 4: I'm very hopeful because this seems like a pretty good

622
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 4: shot to do it. We're gonna break Tony castro Cone

623
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 4: coming up at six o'clock tonight on ninety three to

646
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 4: pick six and what it sounded like on Minnesota Viking Radio.

647
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 7: I love it, I have it.

648
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:45,640

649
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 8: Yeah?

650
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 7: Let's all right.

651
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: Check this out.

652
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 4: This is Paul Allen, the voice of Minnesota Viking Football,

653
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 4: calling your pick six Sunday against the Vikings.

654
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 11: It's fourth and one snap. Roseman rolls out to the right.

655
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 11: He's in trouble. He's gon to pull the ball up.

656
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 11: Hen it's pissed off. Awful decision by Max Brosner, and

657
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 11: this is going to be a defensive touchdown for the

658
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 11: Seattle Seahawks. It's Ernest Jones stop four with the first

659
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 11: touchdown of his career and Seattle has taken a nine

660
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 11: zero lead. Max Brozner, falling to the field, decided to

661
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 11: underhand it to absolutely nobody except Ernest Jones, and he's

662
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 11: gonna go the distance for the first touchdown of the game.

663
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 4: How about that, dude, Minnesota Viking Radio calling your pick six.

664
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 4: Please tell me tell me that you kept that ball

665
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 4: for your first touchdown of your career.

666
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, of course.

667
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 6: I wasn't letting any of those those go right there.

668
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 9: How do you go into a game and prepare for

669
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 9: a quarterback with literally no NFL regular season film?

670
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 7: I'm I think you go out there and you do.

671
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 6: You know, you do your best from what they've done

672
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 6: in the preseason, but ultimately you want to go out

673
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 6: there and you make them respond to you, not respond

674
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 6: to them, get them uncomfortable, and then just go out

675
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 6: there and make them make plays. And you know you'll

676
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 6: see what you get out of them on Sunday, but

677
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 6: you know beforehand there's not too much you can you

678
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 6: know you can get on them.

679
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 4: Well, you ran about ninety yards on that play. Did

680
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 4: you feel like you needed a nap after that long run?

681
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 4: And was that the longest you've ever run during a

682
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 4: football game in your life?

683
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 7: Man?

684
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the longest I've ever ran in my entire

685
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 6: life for anything.

686
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 7: Yes, definitely still need a nap today actually.

687
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 9: Well, and then in the post game you mentioned you

688
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 9: thought you looked up at the video board and you

689
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 9: thought you were going to get caught, but then you

690
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 9: realize who it was chasing you?

691
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 7: Right right?

692
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 6: It was it was kind of showing up in pixels

693
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 6: a little bit like I only see no bodies.

694
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 7: Then I get to the end on it, look behind me,

695
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 7: and of course it is reed out of everybody.

696
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 4: I love it well. Ernest Joe juniors with us. He's

697
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 4: at a Toys for toch driving Bja's and Redman. We'll

698
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 4: talk more about that Ernest in just a second. But dude,

699
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 4: four picks in four years and now you have five

700
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 4: and one season.

701
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: How did that happen?

702
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 9: Man?

703
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: Tell us about that.

704
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 6: I just think it's just the evolution of the game,

705
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 6: just being you know what I'm supposed to be, just

706
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 6: taking my game to the next level and just having

707
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 6: a success now where you know, quarterbacks are trying me

708
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 6: in those areas and I'm coming down with the balls.

709
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 9: We could see last year that the Mike McDonald defense

710
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 9: was going to work, it just wasn't as dominant it

711
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 9: was as it has been so far this year. Was

712
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 9: there a game either late last year earlier this year

713
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 9: where it just clicked for you guys? At what point

714
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 9: did it did you just become locked in with what

715
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 9: Mike McDonald's trying to do on defense.

716
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 7: I think it's been if they're having it since last year.

717
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 6: I mean I always say, I think what coach has

718
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 6: been building, you know, it took time, and I think

719
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 6: we're we're hitting those strides right now. And I think

720
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 6: it's an accumulation of all the work we put in

721
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 6: last year. You know, the tough losses, the tough wins

722
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 6: we just made this year, and know where we got

723
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 6: to be at and know where we got to go,

724
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 6: and you know, I think it's just making us better.

725
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 7: Well.

726
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 4: Ernest Jones Junior again is with us on the radio

727
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 4: show Seahawk Linebacker, and Dude, I know a lot of

728
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 4: people would talk about your pick sex maybe being their

729
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 4: favorite moment of yours for the year, and it's up there.

730
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 4: But Dude, I gotta tell you, man, my number one

731
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 4: thing that you've done this year that I love as

732
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 4: a fan is the way you stepped up for Sam

733
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 4: Darnold after that four pick game against the Rams. Can

734
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 4: you talk about why you felt it was needed to

735
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 4: do that and maybe tell us how Sam responded to

736
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 4: you having us back.

737
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 7: Man, Well, I mean, I'll talk about how it's going.

738
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 6: And I think from what we've built lot that locker room,

739
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 6: I think it was just a mutual thing. I think

740
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 6: in any of those guys would have been up there.

741
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 6: Maybe they wouldn't have used the words that I used,

742
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 6: but everybody would have defended Sam and in a way

743
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 6: that would have been you know, honorable in it such

744
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 6: and I think that's just what we've built. And you know,

745
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 6: he literally has to say much. I mean, I think

746
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 6: what's understood that doesn't need to be explained, and man

747
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 6: and man, I think we had that respect that he

748
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 6: knew that I was going to go up there and

749
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 6: do that, but I think it was needed. You know,

750
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 6: during the game, I could already could could even though

751
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 6: I wasn't on social media, I could see and feel

752
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 6: like I could hear the things that people are already saying,

753
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 6: and I just knew what was coming. So for me,

754
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 6: as you know, any of my teammates up there, I'm

755
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 6: going to defend them and.

756
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 7: Be just that.

757
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 9: Hawks linebacker Ernest Jones joining us on ninety three point

758
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 9: three KFM, I want you to talk about the guys

759
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 9: that are in front of you on that line, because

760
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 9: Softie and I off the air yesterday were debating.

761
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: We were like, is this front.

762
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 9: Four better than the one that won the Super Bowl

763
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 9: in twenty thirteen?

764
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: And I mean, I don't know if it is or not.

765
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 9: But just to even have that comparison and have that

766
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 9: conversation says a lot about what those guys up front

767
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 9: are doing.

768
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 6: Okay, those those guys in front of Domin they take

769
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 6: up a lot of room and you know, offensive heads.

770
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 6: It makes my job easier. Of course, I got to

771
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 6: go out there and dominate it. Like but those guys

772
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 6: is they're like, I just can't say the word dominant enough.

773
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 7: Man.

774
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 6: What they bring to the tape, to the game, Each

775
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 6: and every one of them has a different aspect and

776
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 6: a different skill set. I'm sorry, it just combines and

777
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 6: it just makes them a realist for Ocean Group.

778
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,120

00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 4: As a kid, you remember the best the best toy

786
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 4: you ever got when you're growing up, you remember what

787
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 4: it was.

788
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 6: I think it was when I was probably toiled by

789
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 6: that a bike, my bike. I remember that bike and

790
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 6: I rode it literally to the wheels fill office.

791
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: I love it.

792
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 4: Well, listen, if you got any bikes you can donate

793
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,799

Speaker 4: Bet Ernest Jones Junior with us on the radio show.

803
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 4: So glad that we were able to play that Paul

804
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 4: Allen clipped for him because he never would have been

805
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 4: able to hear it, and you can argue him. And

806
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 4: you asked about the game that turned it around. I mean,

807
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 4: Julian Love told us it was the bye week last

808
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 4: year when they came to Jesus and they had a

809
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 4: meeting and they said this ends now and they figured

810
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 4: everything out.

811
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 5: Well.

812
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 4: It also kind of coincides too with them getting Ernest

813
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 4: Jones from the Titans last year, where would this defense

814
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 4: be without that guy man so Hey, thanks to Jess

815
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 4: for getting him on.

816
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,080

Speaker 4: Tony told me the other day you said, look, man,

00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 4: shows right now because we're in between football and basketball.

839
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: But hey, dude, before we.

840
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 4: Talk some hoops and get into the weeds, on on football, man,

841
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 4: what'd you make of what you saw Saturday?

842
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 1: Disappointing day for sure for everybody.

843
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 7: Pal, Yeah, disappointing. I think missed opportunity. I think I

844
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 7: think they had a chance to win that game, and

845
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 7: I think the defense really played well enough. I mean,

846
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 7: consider this, they went all season long without giving up

847
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 7: more than twenty six points in a game. That's really unbelievable.

848
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 7: And that's the third that's the third best max points

849
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 7: allowed giving up in a game in the country, behind

850
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 7: only Ohio State and Indiana and the top two teams

851
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 7: in the country. And so, you know, I think we

852
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,439
Speaker 7: kind of were wondering what we'd get out of Ryan

853
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 7: Walter's new defense and everything as he came in. I

854
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 7: thought they rose to the challenge and played really well.

855
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 7: I think it was just, you know, some missed opportunities

856
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 7: on offense, which you can't have against the top six

857
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 7: team in the country and still hope to beat them.

858
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 7: They they just missed on a few crucial plays. And

859
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 7: then again the turnovers. You know, I mean you look

860
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 7: at Michigan Wisconsin, Oregon minus seven and turnovers in those

861
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 7: two games, in those three games, right like, I mean,

862
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 7: that's that's going to be the difference right there. And yeah,

863
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 7: it just disappointing. But I think you got to look obviously,

864
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 7: you know, I like to look at things within the

865
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 7: broader perspective, and I think, man, what direction is this

866
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 7: program headed generally, And it's it's obviously generally headed in

867
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 7: the right direction six and seven in year one, eight

868
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 7: and four in year two. You know, we'll see what

869
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 7: kind of bowl game they're going to get assigned to

870
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 7: on Sunday. But you know, I and they got a

871
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 7: top fifteen Classic Country you guys just talking about the

872
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 7: receiver that flipped to Washington. I mean, I just thinkfect

873
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 7: of having a season next year, which is kind of

874
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 7: hard to leave in this era of transfer portal and

875
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 7: everybody moving around. But Jed likes to play really young guys,

876
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,959
Speaker 7: and we're looking at the prospect of next year being

877
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 7: a team almost entirely recruited by Jed Fish because he's

878
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 7: going to play a lot of first and second and

879
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 7: third year Huskies guys that he recruited, which is kind

880
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 7: of unbelievable to think about. And it's gonna be I

881
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 7: think the program's in good hands. They're moving in the

882
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 7: right direction, but I think the fan base is just

883
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 7: kind of hungry to see them win one of those

884
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 7: marquee games. It's the shame they weren't quite able to

885
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 7: get over the hump in those.

886
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: I want to talk more about that defense, because you're

887
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: exactly right.

888
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 9: I mean, do you think this defense will get the

889
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 9: preseason hype next year that they should have gotten all

890
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 9: season this year? I cannot think of a unit in

891
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 9: the Big Ten that was better with less hype than

892
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 9: the Husky defense.

893
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, no doubt. I think that's a super

894
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 7: encouraging sign. And you got to remember, like how prolific

895
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 7: Oregon's running game was heading into this game, and that

896
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 7: was the one thing that they were going to ride

897
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 7: to come, rain or shine. They were going to run

898
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 7: the football and do it at an explosive clip. And

899
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 7: I think here's like, I don't know, like maybe just

900
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 7: a glimpse into the future when you talk about how

901
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 7: football is won and lost at the line of scrimmage,

902
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 7: Washington had the better running game to Oregon. And even

903
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 7: when you know, even when Washington was you know, they

904
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 7: had Michael Pennix a quarterback and all that stuff, I

905
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 7: don't know that you really felt like Washington was going

906
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 7: to go in there and outrun Jordan James and all

907
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,879
Speaker 7: those guys. Like, I mean, I just think that they

908
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 7: went up against an Oregon offense to average six point

909
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 7: one three yards per carrie, the third best in the country,

910
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 7: and they held them to under three yards to carry.

911
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 7: That's an extraordinary feed. And then on the flip side

912
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 7: of the ball, Jonah Cooleman clearly hampered. You have to

913
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 7: go with your number two guy who runs for one

914
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 7: hundred yards against Oregon. Like I mean, I'm just extraordinarily

915
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 7: I know the question was about defense. I'm extraordinarily encouraged

916
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 7: by how they were able to hang in the trenches

917
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 7: against an Oregon team that like that's supposed to be

918
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 7: where they're gonna outclass us, right, Like I thought, I

919
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 7: thought that there were a lot of really positive signs

920
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 7: and but yeah, you're right about the defense. I mean,

921
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 7: I thought the defense really the one thing. The next

922
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 7: step for them is going to be more havoc plays.

923
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 7: You know, that's the one thing that they didn't quite

924
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 7: have at an elite level of this year is ability

925
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 7: to turn over the football and create the havoc plays. Obviously,

926
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 7: they played a lot of teams that were not going to,

927
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 7: like have the traditional dropbacks style, so like you can

928
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 7: still have havoc plays with tackles for loss, right, they

929
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 7: didn't have a ton of those this year, But fortifying

930
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 7: the front, not giving up the big play over the top,

931
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 7: which the secondary did a great job of. I just

932
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 7: thought Ryan Walters came in. I think he had to

933
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 7: tweak his scheme as the year went on. I think

934
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 7: we're expecting to see much of five down line fronts.

935
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 7: And I just thought, you know, as they had to

936
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 7: deal with their injury issues and everything, they did an

937
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 7: unbelievable job of coaching up these guys to have a

938
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 7: really really strong defense.

939
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred and twentieth in TFLs.

940
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 4: Like you said, so there definitely is room for improvement

941
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 4: on a pretty good defense already. But Tony Kasher comes

942
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 4: with us, and look, I mean now we can talk

943
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 4: about going shopping, right, I mean they just went shopping

944
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 4: today and got a new wide receiver who was committed

945
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 4: to Baylor and he flipped and went to U dub

946
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 4: I mean, we know that he did great things in

947
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 4: the portal a year ago. So when Jed Fish grabs

948
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 4: that shopping cart and heads down Aisle four, what's he

949
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 4: looking for?

950
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: You think?

951
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what, that's that's a good question. I'm

952
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 7: not sure I've put a ton of thought into that.

953
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 7: You know, I've kind of been looking back on this

954
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 7: year a little a little bit right now, and I

955
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 7: think it's a it's a compelling question. I mean, I

956
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 7: think my first guess on defense would have been, like,

957
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 7: let's let's look at the inside linebacker position. But then

958
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 7: I think you got some really good signs out of

959
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 7: like Randy sala As your along. You know, I think

960
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 7: there's still is there still an idea as to whether

961
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 7: or not Buddha can come back next year? I mean,

962
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 7: is that still hanging out there? You know? I don't know.

963
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 7: I think that they're looking pretty good on the on

964
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 7: the defensive side of the ball. I'm sure there's going

965
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 7: to be some opportunities to to get a little bit deeper,

966
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 7: but I think that's kind of the next step too,

967
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 7: right is depth? You know injuries are going to creep

968
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 7: out this year goes along. I thought they got really

969
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 7: creative with what they did on the offensive line. The

970
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 7: line clearly, I think was the most improved unit on

971
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 7: the team. But but now you want to get deeper

972
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 7: too to be able to handle the injuries. So you know,

973
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 7: there's not going to jump to me right away to

974
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 7: answer my question. Is like the piece you absolutely need,

975
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 7: but you're gonna need depths all over the team, and

976
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 7: I'm sure they're gonna be putting that to you together

977
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 7: a little bit stronger.

978
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 9: Tony, A lot of us, definitely including me, got caught

979
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 9: up in the demand hype at the beginning of the season,

980
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 9: and what does he need to do to go from

981
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 9: a guy that we hope will be a Heisman contender

982
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 9: to a guy that's actually a Heisman contender.

983
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 7: You know, it's a good question, and I think it's

984
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 7: gonna be a collaborative team unit where you know, he's

985
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 7: clearly Jed Fish's guy, right and Jed has anointed him.

986
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 7: This is Damon's team. He said that very clearly. He

987
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 7: made he pulled no punches on saying what he thought

988
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 7: Demon could accomplish in his career. And I think Jed

989
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 7: is a guy that's been really good if you look

990
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 7: back over the course of his career of like, Okay,

991
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 7: here's here's what we've got, and let's build the team

992
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 7: to these sets of strengths and weaknesses and then maximize

993
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 7: the potential from there. And so now that Demand has

994
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 7: one full year under his belt of running the team,

995
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 7: now I think, you know, he and Jed are gonna

996
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 7: you know, sync up on Not only is Jed going

997
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 7: to coach him up on the areas where he needs

998
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 7: to improve, it's you know, clearly he just missed on

999
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 7: a few throws at times, you know, decision making as

1000
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 7: to when to hang in the pocket and when the bail,

1001
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 7: taking a little bit better care of the football and

1002
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 7: some crucial situations. But then Jet is also going to

1003
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 7: have the opportunity to decide, you know, how do I

1004
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 7: better position him in certain things? Right? And like you know,

1005
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 7: whether or not he's able to see certain defensive coverages,

1006
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 7: can I put him in a better position there? And

1007
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 7: so you know, I think it's going to be a

1008
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 7: team effort. Yeah, and I think they're going to do it.

1009
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 7: I mean, I you know, clearly he's who Jetfish wants

1010
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 7: running this team, and he showed extraordinary talent this year,

1011
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 7: so I think the Dogs aren't get hand offensively.

1012
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, the same with Buddha. Tony, I don't know. I mean,

1013
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 4: he would get a red shirt year. I would assume

1014
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 4: he only played in three games this season, got hurt

1015
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 4: in the Cougar game, right the Apple Cups, so he

1016
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 4: would have I think two more years left. I mean,

1017
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 4: obviously the injury, We'll see what happens next year. But man,

1018
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,399
Speaker 4: you get him and Manu back together next year, that'd

1019
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 4: be pretty That'd be pretty awesome to get those two

1020
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 4: guys playing so basketball tomorrow. I mean, this wacky world

1021
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 4: we live in where Big ten plays starts in twenty

1022
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 4: six hours against you CLA and then going to USC

1023
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 4: and then coming back for four non con games before

1024
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 4: you head to the Midwest and take on Indiana and produce.

1025
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 4: So Dick and I were kind of debating about this team,

1026
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 4: and I like Tony, I just don't know, man, I'm

1027
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 4: just in a pure weight and see mode with this

1028
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 4: basketball team. What's what's kind of your take and what

1029
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 4: you've seen after the first seven eight games of the year.

1030
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 7: So I love this team and they're five and two start,

1031
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 7: to me has been explained and defined by what in

1032
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 7: my nine years at Washington has been unprecedented injuries on

1033
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 7: a basketball team. Like I've never seen a team this

1034
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 7: injured at the same time, this many guys banged up.

1035
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 7: You know, I'm doing the game at Washington State and

1036
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 7: Hannes Steinbach rolled his ankle. He comes out of the ballgame,

1037
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 7: and I'm looking over at that bench and I'm like,

1038
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 7: here's who the Huskies have injured right now. They have

1039
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 7: a McDonald's All American, a potential lottery pick, an Honorable

1040
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 7: Mention All Big Ten last year at USC, the A

1041
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 7: Sun Player of the Year, and one of the top

1042
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 7: five JUCO players in the country. That's five guys that

1043
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 7: could win twenty games together. And that's who you don't

1044
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 7: have access to. And you're still going out there and

1045
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 7: starting five and two. Now you could say, oh, Southern,

1046
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 7: that's you know, closer than it should have been, or

1047
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 7: missed opportunity against Colorado, Like I think that Colorado game

1048
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 7: was like a classic bike I looked at Jason at

1049
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 7: the under sixteen time out in the first half and

1050
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 7: I was like, we're in trouble today. Matchup wise, like

1051
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 7: with you don't have Steinbach, you don't have Agnasadaki, you

1052
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 7: don't have all these other bigs that you recruited, Like

1053
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 7: that was a bad matchup. A front court that goes

1054
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 7: six ten, six eleven, seven foot, all athletic, all play

1055
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 7: Euro style, like that was a bad matchup. I think

1056
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 7: Washington with Danny Sprinkle, who is a chip on the

1057
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 7: shoulder kind of guy, has recruited a bunch of chip

1058
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 7: on the shoulder kind of guys who are hungry to win.

1059
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,839
Speaker 7: There is no doubt in my mind that once these

1060
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 7: guys get healthy, they are going to be one of

1061
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 7: the toughest outs in the entire Big Ten Conference. The

1062
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 7: real concern I have is because they're all, you know,

1063
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 7: banged up and everything, like how comfortable? How quickly can

1064
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 7: they get comfortable playing together? That's really the question, because

1065
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 7: all that's been disrupted here early in the season.

1066
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 1: Well, then give us an injury update.

1067
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 9: Let's start with Steinbach and then the rest of the

1068
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 9: guys you talked about. When do you think we'll get

1069
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 9: those guys back?

1070
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 7: It sounds like there's a chance he could play a

1071
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 7: little bit on Wednesday, which would be great. I mean,

1072
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 7: you're going to need him in the front court. You know,

1073
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 7: it's probably not gonna get one hundred percent, but it

1074
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 7: sounds like he'll be a game time decision. Brighton Tucker

1075
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 7: still might be a game or two out, you know,

1076
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 7: still dealing with the ankle injury that was suffered against

1077
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 7: I think it was Baylor when he went down, and

1078
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 7: that was a tough one to see because I think

1079
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 7: he was gonna be one of my favorite players on

1080
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 7: the team. But again, it's an ankle sprain. He'll be

1081
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 7: ready when he's ready, but it might be a week

1082
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 7: or so still away. And then I think, you know,

1083
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 7: jacobng mouss of it, they're still looking at him as

1084
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,439
Speaker 7: rejoining the team in January, you know, I mean he's

1085
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 7: still out there, his boot is off. That's great news.

1086
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 7: We're talking about a guy that averaged twenty points and

1087
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 7: eight rebounds a year ago and was shooting forty percent

1088
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 7: from three. So like you're talking about a guy that

1089
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 7: instantly changes, you know, a team with what he brings

1090
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 7: to the front court. So if they're able to get

1091
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 7: him back in January, which I think you look at

1092
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 7: red shirting him or gray shirting him, I think you

1093
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 7: need him for your front court depth. It looks to

1094
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 7: me when you're playing in the Big ten. You know,

1095
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 7: Christian nietzschu is going to red shirt this year. It

1096
00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 7: sounds like so like that's that's kind of where you're at.

1097
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 7: You know, Maddie Trey war is out for the season,

1098
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 7: so you know, when you're looking at your big you

1099
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 7: probably need Agnosivic back and you really need to sign

1100
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 7: back back as soon as possible. But you know, I

1101
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 7: still think like there's a lot of guts to this

1102
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 7: team and a lot of talent that's going to be

1103
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 7: out there on the floor, and there's still plans to

1104
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 7: be well despite the fact that they're banged up. So

1105
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 7: excited for this weekend against Big ten teams.

1106
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 4: Now, no doubt seven thirty pre game, eight o'clock tip tomorrow.

1107
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 4: We're gonna hear your voice twice in two nights on

1108
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 4: this radio station, which I want to get used to that.

1109
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 4: Let's do it every night, man, Okay, don't be a stranger.

1110
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 4: We'll talk sooner, right buddy, All right? Sounds good, Tony

1111
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 4: kashtra code. I'm just curious as to whose team this is?

1112
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: Whose team is this?

1113
00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 7: Right?

1114
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 4: Like when Isaiah Thomas was here, Isaiah Brandon Roy Brandon Roy, right,

1115
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 4: even John Brockman. Brockman, whose team is this? Is this

1116
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 4: Wesley Yates's team? Is it Zoom's team? Is it Hanna

1117
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 4: Steinbach's team? I mean, can you have a big man,

1118
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 4: a European guy. I don't even talked to him. Does

1119
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 4: he speak English? I got no idea what his deal is?

1120
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 4: Whose team is?

1121
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: When he's on the floor, he is the best player,

1122
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: right for both teams?

1123
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1124
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, So, I mean I don't know if that translates

1125
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 9: into a young guy like that being a leader of

1126
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 9: the team. I would imagine it would default to maybe

1127
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,879
Speaker 9: a Claude or a Yeats, a guy that's played much

1128
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,879
Speaker 9: more college basketball than he has. But he's the best

1129
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 9: player on the floor, and Maniquit has a just a

1130
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 9: natural leadership vibe around him, even though he's still very

1131
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 9: very young.

1132
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 4: Tea.

1133
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. I just don't know whose team this is.

1134
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 4: And I think that's not a bad thing that they've

1135
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 4: got options, right, I Mean, it's not like we're saying, God,

1136
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 4: there's nobody here on this team who could step up

1137
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 4: and be the best player and be the guy in

1138
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 4: the clutch that you want the basketball that's it's kind

1139
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 4: of the silver lining to all of this, but it's

1140
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 4: also potentially a nightmare managing all of these individuals. And

1141
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 4: I don't know what their egos are, like, I have

1142
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 4: no idea, right, I mean, Tony would know, Jason would know.

1143
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,959
Speaker 4: They're sitting there, they're traveling with these guys, they're hanging

1144
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 4: out behind the scenes. But you got a bunch of dudes.

1145
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 4: I mean you look at all these players, Marin, and

1146
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 4: all of them have accolades, all of them, and all

1147
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 4: of them came from a spot where they were the

1148
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 4: number one guy. Somebody somewhere is going to have to

1149
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 4: take a back seat. How does he handle that as

1150
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 4: a coach?

1151
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 9: No, that's right, And I think that's one of the

1152
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,959
Speaker 9: reasons why I was so optimistic when I spoke earlier

1153
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 9: about this team, about them, I think they, I said,

1154
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 9: rifle through the end of that schedule. Well, one of

1155
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 9: the reasons I'm so optimistic that they'll rifle through the

1156
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 9: end of the schedule is because most of these guys

1157
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 9: are going to be back by the end of the year,

1158
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 9: and you're going to be a massively better.

1159
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: Team in February than you are right now.

1160
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 9: Not only with the health, but also just that they've

1161
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 9: played together and they've been through the battles through the

1162
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 9: month of January, which is going to be a bear.

1163
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 1: The month of January is going to be so tough

1164
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: for this team.
