I'm like, is this how these normally go? 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.120 And they're all like, yes, this is exactly how these go. 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:47.800 This is it? 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.519 Like Jesus, So I get out of here.

Tommy goes, yeah, but if you walk up 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:01.360 a morning, would you be happy or sad? 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.120 I'm gonna tell you what, Why would I be happy 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:04.640 about that? 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.920 You heard the whole Corey, I did. The least likely 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:09.839 part of that whole thing was me being in a club. 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.800 The rest of it could happen sure or that person 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:21.080 still being there in the morning, and you didn't find 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:22.920 out at some point. 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.360 At some point, I probably gonna say, I'm pretty sure 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:27.160 those are testings. 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.600 No one needs to know about this. Okay, quick, follo up? 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:41.399 What does that make you happier? What a question? 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.200 It wasn't would you would you do it it? Would 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:46.440 it make you happy or sad? 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:51.080 If you found that? Anyway? 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:51.640 Tell me? 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.680 Do you do you go to therapy? No? You probably should. 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.360 That's number one. Number number two because I feel like. 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.440 If you did go to therapy, this is you're testing 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.040 the waters to see what you should say to your therapist. 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.200 Yeah, because years like, no, that's totally normal. That's cool, man. 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.360 But if we're like dear God, then you go to 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.519 your therapy and go partrip. 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:15.200 Doesn't think that I'm normal, are they right? Yeah? They 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.320 laughed really hard when I asked this question. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.440 They all wrong with me. 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:21.840 Anyway, all right, let's talk. 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.200 Let's know, this would normally be the news brought to 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:26.080 you by Zecha. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.760 World Juniors, World Juniors m in two six dot com. 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.600 Get your tickets right now. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:36.160 Right now, Thank you, thank you World Juniors. Yeah yeah, 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.639 let's just talk college football, man. So uh so, what's up? 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.160 Well we have uh it's it's the on the college 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.120 football slite. We'll go back, We'll go to the Gophers 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.239 after this. It's generally kind of a down weekend. Hawk, 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.520 So it's this is we have two regular season weekends left, right, 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.480 so next week yeah, so next weekend, I know, it's crazy. 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.359 So next weekend's the big rivalry weekend go for. We'll 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.400 go for versus our our rivals from the East. And 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.880 then this weekend just a little bit different, right, But 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.600 there's a lot of really important games in terms of 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.680 seeing who's going to get into the college football playoff 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.560 and of course into their conference championships. So the two 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.840 big games on slate really are USC is eight and 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.760 two and there at Oregon number eight. 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:17.280 That's where college game Day is going. 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.120 And I think right now is what is the points 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.560 spread of meat sauce is at ten and a half Oregon. 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:23.639 Yeah, ten and a half. 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:25.400 Yeah, so it's one of those games. I think there's 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.720 a lot of points in this game. But USC, which 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.000 is kind of you know, they're eight and two. People 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.680 think a USC win and then they'd beat UCLA next week, 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.000 would get into the College Football Playoff, which probably happens, 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.560 and an Oregon loss would probably keep organ out in Oregon. 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.560 It would be it would finish roughly ten and two. 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.840 So it's if you're the big it's gonna be fun 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.720 for me to watch. If you think of the Big ten, 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.040 then the official I think they're probably they're I think 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:54.640 they're going to get some home calls at Oregon. 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:55.360 But it's a game. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.880 On paper, it looks to be an Oregon w but 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.000 I think I think the reason why Oregon wins I 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.200 think Oregon's a bit better in the trenches than USC. 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.240 Can I say something real quick, just make an observation, 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:08.840 and this is not a shot at name, but I'm 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.400 just making an observation about the dichotomy in college football. 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.760 If a team like Oregon doesn't make the college football 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:21.800 playoffs and they're that much better than the Gophers, how 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:22.800 far away are we? 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.919 I mean, I think we're I think I feel like 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.840 in twenty twenty five, I feel like we're further away 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.440 than I believed at the beginning of the season. I 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.320 think the big here's the good news is it can 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.560 all change in a manner of moments. Yeah, right, And 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.520 I think if you when you know I've talked to 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:40.480 guards you about this little bit. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:41.040 I talked to. 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.120 Andy Greeder from the Pioneer Press last week at the 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.680 airport flying back from from Portland. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.440 I think the difference right now is when you. 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:52.160 Look at our recruitment of the Portal and the impact 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.120 of the Portal on the program, I think we've missed. 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.040 And I think if you look at the top teams 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.960 in college football, they've sprinkled in a lot of impac 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.880 hack players that are from the Portal. It's immediate fixes 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.200 and that so that great news is we can go 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.200 make those immediate fixes. But I would start in the trenches. 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.320 That's where I think we've probably lost the most. I 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.360 think if I look at that offensive line, we took 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.360 kids in the Portal that aren't even playing right. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:16.880 So we we missed, and. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:21.040 You can't miss in the left Yeah, well, we got 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.760 two guys that start for top top fifteen programs. 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.680 Well, Howard as you gonna be a first round pick, right, Yeah? 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:33.200 No, the tackle for Ohio State Daniels Daniels, Sorry. 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:33.440 So Daniels. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.279 So we have Daniels who's a starting tackle at Ohio State, 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.320 and we have Cat O'Connell who's a starting guard at Vanderbilt. 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.359 So so it's about I mean, so you got to 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.640 be better. We got to be better in our evaluation 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.960 of the portal. And I would start with I would 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:48.560 start in the trenches hot because I think if you 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.200 it doesn't it does you no good when you have 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:55.440 elite skill players if you can't block and shed blocks 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.320 on the defensive side. So that's that's the biggest thing 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.000 of when I when people ask like, ah, we seem 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.520 far away, and I do think right now, we're far away, 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:09.680 but it can change fast, im ago and guys, it's not. 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.839 There's plenty of funding here. It's the revenue sharing is there. 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.840 It's about your evaluation of the portal. And I love 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.719 what Kurt Signetty does exactly. Kurt goes gets production, not 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.560 potential production. Is a kid that's in the MAC that 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.360 shows that shows that he can produce at a college 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.520 football level. He's got he's got a lot of catches, 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.640 he's got yards after the catch, he's got a great 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:32.760 he's an efficient pastor. 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.760 It's kind of like we did with Brozemer, right, he's 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:36.800 super productive where he was. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.400 And the other thing though, And I'm not, as Hawk said, 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.240 I'm not trying to be mean. This is going to 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:46.280 sound mean. You can't look uncompetitive on the road. 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.479 You just can't go into every road situation and lay 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:50.760 an absolute egg. 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:52.240 That doesn't help. 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.599 It's not And I think, you know, those games could 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.880 have been played at Huntington Bank, and honestly, I think 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.440 the square the score could have been very similar. You 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.480 can't be that uncompetitive with conference opponents. I mean, I 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.480 don't care if they're you know, and again Ohio State 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.000 might you might talk yourself into that because they're pretty 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:09.760 darn elite, But. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:15.560 It's the Iowa. It's the Iowa. It's frustrate me. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.240 Is just like even last week I told Katy, I 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.320 guess we needed another week to prepare for Oregon, Like 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.520 you had two weeks to prepare. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:23.000 In a. 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:25.440 Game. 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.000 It's yeah, but you have to like you have to 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.520 have these you have to have a game. It's is 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:34.520 it coaches, players or scheme and and and right now, 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.920 it's kind of a lot of everything, and and I 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.160 think first and foremost, you got to show a level 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.200 of preparation and execution that's better. The miss tackles last week, 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.040 you know, was it was the guy in for the 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.880 touchdown after he broke fifteen tackles. No, I don't think 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.120 that was a touchdown. He was awarded a touchdown, but 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:51.440 don't miss fifteen tackles? 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:52.560 Yeah, flash. 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.400 Do you think in Drake Lindsay's career with the University 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.640 of Minnesota at some point he'll be a top ten 0:07:58.720 --> 0:07:59.760 quarterback in the country? 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:01.720 Is level? 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:02.440 I think he is? 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.120 I think, But but he only he only gets through 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.480 with you. He's got everything around him. And that's where 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.200 I get super concerned with the offensive line. At the 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.320 offense line right now, is like, isn't going to get 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:14.840 him to be a top ten quarterback? 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:16.760 What do you think he is now? By the way, Uh, 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.120 he's probably thirty. 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.360 Yeah, I think he's probably top thirty. But he is 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:21.080 he is different. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.880 I mean, you've seen you've seen bits and pieces, but 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.320 a lot of it's gonna be what's around him. We're 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:27.880 going to talk about the Prep Bowl a little bit 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.160 today when you watch the six to eight state championship 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.160 game tomorrow, Morehead versus a dynam Morehead. 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.640 As a wise requ Morehead as a wide receiver. He 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:38.080 was at Ohio State last week. 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.200 There's a there's there's talent even in this state that 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.920 would hail that would help Drake Lindsay, right, So you 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.440 got to get the line around him to give him time, 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.760 and then you got to get the playmakers that can 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.320 create separation and and not drop footballs. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.120 How do they hand how do they handle the portal 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.880 right now at the Gophers, because it sounds like it's 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:58.200 different at a lot of different places. 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.559 Do they actually have a GM? Yeah, there somebody that 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.760 is like the the GM. 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.280 The GM is handling more of the revenue sharing and 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:06.600 and and I a little bit. 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.360 And so who's scouting and evaluation. 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:12.680 There's there's there's a separate people, the separate department. Yeah, 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.920 just like a recruiting staff. So there's a recruiting people 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.560 you have right now. They actually have three parts of it. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.640 You have someone that's out you know, who's leading the 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.200 efforts with high schools, which is still part of it. 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.080 I will say, I think any college coach in the 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:26.920 country would tell you it's a less of their focus 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.320 than it used to be. What PJ has done this 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.360 month is he's actually hit the junior colleges really hard 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.840 and he got three kids, I think three that are 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.160 pretty One is the top wide receiver in junior college football, 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:39.960 which I think that's a good thing to focus on. 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.200 And then you have someone focusing on the portal. And 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:43.880 the portal is a tough one because you don't really 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:44.520 know who's in. 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:45.960 Yet, right you don't that's interested. 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.480 Well, yeah, in the next three weeks, we're gonna see 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.920 kids jumping into the portal. And it's such a quick 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.760 dating game because they jump in and that things open 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.040 for about three weeks and then it closes, and so 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.280 your evaluation has to be quick and it and I 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.319 talked to Max Osmu's dad when he came to the Gophers. 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.439 He said, justin we opened up the portal in ninety minutes, 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:09.720 we had been contacted by fifty schools, ye fifty five zero, 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.320 So then you have to whittle that down to say 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.679 what fits us best. They came out here early because 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.440 they felt it was a good fit. But it was 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.559 a really strong evaluation of each other, like what does 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.360 Minnesota have for Max? What does Max have for Minnesota? 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:26.560 And you know he fell in love with it, but 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.880 he had other programs similar to Minnesota. Think like a 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.199 Virginia attack of Pittsburgh that we're also interested. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.560 So you have to be right. And that's my issue. 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.640 When you have cornerbacks an offensive line that came from 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.959 the portal that you gave a lot of revenue sharing 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.240 money to and they're sitting on scout team you missed 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:45.720 in the portal. 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:46.520 That's the hardest part. 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.439 And you can't do that, not not here the portal. 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.520 Players have to be starters. They have to be there. 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.280 Their their window to their typical window of eligibilities of 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:55.000 like a couple of years. 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.800 Wow, yeah, all right, we got we got a break. 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.680 We got to go to HyG Vee with Grenard and 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.480 then we'll in my back said, okay, everybody cool. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.040 You just take your own flash or what?

You guys have to watch this 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.520 game because it's going to be an entertaining game. I'm 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.880 helping out Chris Long on the sideline for Channel forty five. 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.640 I would say to the ram two of the best 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:56.880 quarterbacks in the state. 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:01.960 So you have Mason West always he's just willing his. 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.600 Team to the state championship. 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:08.000 I mean they they've won the last three games minnetaka 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.720 Eden Prairie in Forest Lake by a combined four points. 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.560 Wow, this is crazy, right, Which team is that again? 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.079 This is a Dina the hockey player. Yeah, yeah, And 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:19.800 it's funny. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.560 We did an interview with the More head coach this 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.120 week and he and you know More at his the 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.120 state defending champion in hockey, and he goes, the cool 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.040 thing about Mason West is how many kids of that 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:33.280 caliber of a hockey player would actually play football. Because 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.400 in the state, if you're in lead hockey player hockey 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.720 by freshman year, you're like, yeah, football's done, I'm gonna 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.280 focus on hockey. So when he said that and we 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.480 repeated that to the Dina coach. He goes, we have 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.320 four starting football players that are starters on the hockey team. 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:46.680 Wow. 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.920 What Yeah, And as Ben said I walked in, he goes, 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.200 it's because Mason West has has built the expectation. 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:53.520 Right. 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.000 Yeah, My guest, My guess is that when you're when 0:13:56.040 --> 0:14:00.520 you're stud athlete, who's you know, Michigan State bound, undrafted 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.199 in the first round by the by the Blackhawks. If 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.520 he's like, no, I'm committed to this football team and 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.959 I won't play, and he's been very vocal about that, 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.560 then like Chase Buergard, who's the starting goalie and running back, 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.160 I'm sure. Yeah, he's also like, well, if he's gonna play, 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.040 I'm gonna play. And then if the other two guys 0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:19.600 that start in the hockey team, like, if those guys 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.880 are gonna play, then I'm gonna play. And let's finish 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.720 this thing out, like let's win a state title. 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.840 They were so close two years ago. Yeah, they can 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.360 pull it off this so it will be this will 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.600 be a shootout. This is the team that has the 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.640 football last will win. And I forget the score when 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.400 they played like about a month ago. I think it 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.240 was like fifty literally fifty to forty nine really, So 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.240 this game will have that type of offense, and both 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.080 coaches have said it's not really about stopping the other 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:47.040 team is it's trying to roughly contain them. But Mason 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:50.320 West a great quarterback for a DYNA senior NHL draft pick. 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:54.560 Morit has a kid named Jet Feeney junior Division one quarterback. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.280 People say he's probably the best quarterback in. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:57.800 The stage or he's only a junior. 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.720 And he has a wide receiver David Mack who is 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.040 the top they say, maybe one of the top five 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.160 receivers in the country. Who Ohio State is trying to 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.200 likely have him join them, So that game will be 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.680 an amazing game. I'm gonna take my kind of hometown 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.840 Mori ed Spuds to win that one. And then before that, 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.240 if you remember, we had a Gopher recruit who was 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:25.120 choosing between Minnesota and Alabama in the re currering process, 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.880 and of course he took Minnesota. So Roman Vass from 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:33.480 Jackson County Central let's go is right before that game, 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:37.760 six foot four, probably two forty in moves like a 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:38.440 wide receiver. 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.640 I'm sorry, what position does he play? Everything? Oh wow, 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:43.920 I think the coach. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.960 He's been starting since eighth grade, and I believe they 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.680 said he has over ten thousand career yards. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.800 Hold on what You're allowed to start high school football 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:53.240 as you are? 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:58.720 Yes, wow, Jackson County Central four o'clock kick on Channel 0:15:58.760 --> 0:15:59.280 forty five. 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:05.200 So say there's a high school lineup? Dude, are we 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.200 just straight up you died on Morehead? Sure? Yeah, okay, 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:09.640 twenty five bucks. Yeah, we're in. 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.160 If you are keeping track at home, and I know 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:17.120 a lot of people are technically, then in this very 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.000 episode of the Power Tip morn until we have discussed 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.360 betting on the death of fifteen horses at Santa I Need, 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.920 and now we are betting on high school on our squad, 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.400 gambling on the death of animals and high school athletics. 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.120 This is the power of my squash. 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.680 Well, of course we all do bet on college football. 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.160 So Ben and I struggle, howk because we said this 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.280 week was kind of a little bit of a garbage week, 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.400 but we love to turn on the TV Saturday and 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.560 watch a bunch of games, and so we we went 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.000 back and forth. Actually kind of this morning, and I'm 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.360 going to take a game that has a lot of implications. 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.360 So we're going to take Ben is taking Oklahoma coming 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:56.200 off a ginormous upset at Alabama. He has Oklahoma. I 0:16:56.200 --> 0:17:00.080 think it's minus seven and a half. He's taking Oklahoma 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:03.480 in Missouri, who has a game time decision on their 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:07.080 starting quarterback. If it's the if it's their experienced quarterback, 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.720 I'm feeling great. If it's not, they put back in 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.480 a true freshman. And so I'm taking a seven and 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.000 three Missouri team plus seven and a half. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:16.880 Yeah, it's seven and a half. 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:21.600 Yep, there you go power and so go Tigers. And 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.920 in the Gopher game, I think the Gopher games tricky one. 0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:25.240 I think both teams. 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:26.320 Are they play this weekend. 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.760 The Gophers actually go to Wrigley Field. Tom he's on 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:31.199 his way and. 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:33.159 Driving. 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.359 He probably, I mean, he's not gonna make it, is he. 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.160 But anyways, I don't think. 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.240 He's basically landing in Indiana doesn't make any sense. 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:46.240 Yeah, so you know, so again people are probably wondering 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.000 why wrigley Field. Northwestern is in the process of building 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.800 this amazing stadium and I think it opens up next season. 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.120 So they've been out of their stadium for a couple 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.000 of years. They have a they have a on their campus. 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.360 They have kind of a temporary stadium. It's a little 0:17:58.359 --> 0:17:59.600 bit like a high school stand that they've played a 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.960
