Speaker 3: sounds like right now, can.

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 5: You talry about that? I can hear you guys perfectly, Okay, Jackson.

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: It could be an US problem. It could be an

26
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 3: US problem on our end. Well, John's with us. John,

27
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: We're doing good. Thanks for asking. By the way, So

28
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: before we dive into everything happening on the field, man,

29
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: there's a lot happening off the field and this Big

30
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: Ten equity saga, what's the latest? And it seems like

31
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: there's going to be some problems with this with a

32
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 3: few of the member institutions of the Big Ten.

33
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: What's the latest there?

34
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 6: Well, the latest go through with this deal even if

35
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 6: USC and Michigan are not on board, and that would

36
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 6: create an unprecedented situation in which sixteen schools would be

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 6: playing by one set of rules and two would be

38
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 6: playing by another. And part of the deal forgetting this

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 6: money is that you have to extend the grant of

40
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 6: rights till twenty forty six. Sixteen teams schools would be

41
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 6: to the Big Ten until twenty forty six.

42
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 5: Michigan and USC would.

43
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 6: Only be members until twenty thirty six and then they

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 6: would be free agents. And the thing is if USC

45
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 6: and Michigan are free agents. They're gonna have plenty of

46
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 6: offers in twenty thirty six, right, I mean, if the

47
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 6: Big Ten things that they are, they're going to try

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 6: to back these two schools into a corner, I think

49
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 6: they're mistaken because they're gonna have.

50
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 5: Tons of options.

51
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 3: John, John, let me just backtrack for a second. Sorry,

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 3: And I should have done this from the start. Can

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: we just explain this to people that don't know what's

54
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: going on? Reset, give us like thirty forty five seconds

55
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 3: on what exactly this story is all about, and dumb

56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: it down for people like me?

57
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: Please?

58
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 6: Sure? So the Big Ten is looking into a private

59
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 6: capital infusion of two point four billion dollars, so that

60
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 6: money would be dispersed to the schools on an uneven

61
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 6: basis up front based on tiers. Washington be on the

62
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 6: third tier of revenue. Washington would get one hundred and

63
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 6: ten million, Oregon and USC would get one hundred and

64
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 6: fifty million, Penn State, Ohio, State Michigan get one hundred

65
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 6: and ninety million. The deal would also require the schools

66
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 6: to sign a twenty year grand of rights, basically locking

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 6: them together for twenty years, so it would end in

68
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 6: ey chance of a super league. The deal also creates

69
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 6: some they call Big Ten Enterprises, which would become a

70
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 6: for profit commercial arm of the conference to help generate,

71
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 6: you know, as much revenue as possible. Those are kind

72
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 6: of the main three aspects of it. But the biggest

73
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 6: deal is they would bind the schools for twenty years

74
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 6: together in the Big Ten, a lot of them, you know, Minnesota, Purdue.

75
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 6: They're looking for security. They don't want to have State

76
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 6: in Michigan going off and forming a super league, so

77
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 6: that's why they're in favor of this. But if Michigan,

78
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 6: Ohio and USC don't sign on to it and they

79
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 6: go through with it anyhow, two of the biggest brands

80
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 6: in the conference would be free agents halfway through the

81
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 6: twenty year deal.

82
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 7: So what's better for the conference as far as parody goes.

83
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 7: Do we want to see a more NFL type thing

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,119
Speaker 7: where there's not a lot of difference between the third

85
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 7: fourth best team and the Big Ten and the fourteenth

86
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 7: fifteenth best team in the Big Ten?

87
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: Or is what's better for the Big Ten.

88
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 7: To have two or three superpowers in the conference every

89
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 7: year and a lot of teams that stink?

90
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 6: I mean, that's kind of what they got this year, right,

91
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 6: and that's what it is every year. I mean, Michigan

92
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 6: and Ohio State and Penn State, to you know, over

93
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 6: the course of time, are the three dominant programs. The

94
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 6: thing is, I think this deal would actually create more

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 6: of a top heavy league because not only would Ohio State, Michigan,

96
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 6: and Penn State get more upfront cash, They're also going

97
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 6: to create a unequal revenue model for the annual payouts

98
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 6: and those schools would be on top of that as well. Well.

99
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: John Wilner's with us on the radio show.

100
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: The other big story happening off the field is what's

101
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: going on with UCLA and the Rolls Bowl. So, I mean,

102
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: I guess just explain this again to me like I'm

103
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: a more on which I am, so it's going to

104
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: be easy. So basically, you dub is playing at the

105
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 3: Rolls Bowl next Saturday versus UCLA. Are you telling me

106
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: this is the potential final time that you doub will

107
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 3: ever play a regular season game at the Rose Bowl

108
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 3: next Saturday?

109
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 5: I think that is possible.

110
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 6: Yes, UCLA is moving forward as best as it can

111
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 6: to try to deal with Sofi Stadium to move the

112
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 6: home games to so Fi.

113
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 5: I happen to believe a.

114
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 6: Lot of this is still leverage now that they want

115
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 6: to get a better term for their lease on the

116
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 6: Rose Bowl and they're using going to Sofi Stadium as

117
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 6: the leverage. The Rose Bowl has sued UCLA to stop

118
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 6: the move, and we'll see. I think it's a very

119
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 6: interesting deal. I think it is completely misguided on the

120
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 6: Bruins side to think that a lot more people are

121
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 6: going to go to Sofi Stadium then we go to

122
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 6: the Rose Bowl. That's preposterous. Part of the appeal is

123
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 6: all the luxury suites at Sofi Stadium, But then again,

124
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 6: how many UCLA fans are going to get those.

125
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 5: Take those luxury seats.

126
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 6: I think it would be a terrible deal for UCLA,

127
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 6: And it's so obviously a terrible deal that I think

128
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,119
Speaker 6: it's a negotiating ploy.

129
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 7: John disaster struck at Camp Randall for the Huskies against Wisconsin.

130
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 7: I mean, it was unbelievable, the worst loss since the

131
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 7: Montana game. Why were the Huskies not able to get

132
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 7: over the top when they have before? Every single year

133
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 7: the Huskies face a team and almost lose. We saw

134
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 7: it at Arizona State the year they went to the

135
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 7: college football playoffs. Why weren't they able to get over

136
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 7: the top this time?

137
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 5: That was atrocious.

138
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 6: I thought that the biggest problem is their offense, and

139
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 6: it's not just It wasn't just the Wisconsin game.

140
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 5: That's just the latest example.

141
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 6: I went back and looked Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin the

142
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 6: second halves of those three games. Washington has scored three

143
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 6: points three points in six quarters, so that is and

144
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 6: they haven't played well on the road in general under

145
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 6: jedfish Right, They've got what one win at Maryland, right,

146
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 6: come back, come back win, and Maryland.

147
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 5: Clearly is not any good.

148
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 6: Their only win of the season is over Wisconsin in

149
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 6: Big Ten play. So a lot of it is they

150
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 6: are not very good on offense when they're on the

151
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 6: road and they're facing a decent defense. They got to

152
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 6: figure that out because you know, I know there were

153
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 6: some injuries, but to me, those injuries do not account

154
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 6: for the fact that you lose to Wisconsin, which is awful.

155
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 6: No offense, I mean it was that was really bad.

156
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 5: That was shockingly bad. From the Austin.

157
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: Yes, John, I'm sorry to do this to you, but

158
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: I want to go back to the UCLA story. I

159
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: appolgejys I should have followed up on that from the beginning.

160
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: But there's two things. I want to just go back

161
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: to that for a quick second.

162
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: You said it's a negotiating ploy by UCLA either A

163
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: what to get a better deal from the Rose Bull

164
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: And do you think it's possible, Okay, do you think

165
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: it's possible that UCLA, even if they do move to Sofi,

166
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: would do that short term and the long term plan

167
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: is eventually to build a smaller stadium on campus or

168
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: do you see them actually moving to Sofi and stay

169
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: in there forever.

170
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 6: I do not believe on campus stadium is viable. You know,

171
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 6: if you know UCLA's campus, it's there's not a lot

172
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 6: of room they would make the in theory, what they

173
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 6: do is they take Drake Stadium, which is the track

174
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 6: and field on the northwest corner borders Wilshire and turn

175
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 6: that into a on campus stadium of like forty thousand.

176
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 5: Here's the problem. All those rich folks.

177
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 6: In bel Air across Wilshire Boulevard would go Nanas that

178
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 6: is an incredibly powerful neighborhood association with immense amount of resources,

179
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 6: and in my opinion, there is no way they will

180
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 6: let you cla do that on campus team. I think

181
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 6: if they move to Sofi, then they moved to Sofi

182
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 6: and that's it for a long time.

183
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: God, that's amazing, unbelievable.

184
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 3: Well, John Wilner is with us, and John's go back

185
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: to the Huskies again. So you know, Dick mentioned it

186
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 3: disaster striking in Madison over the weekend. You gave us

187
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 3: your thoughts on the home road problems. They've got it.

188
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 3: It was pathetic in a lot of ways by U

189
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 3: dub on Saturday.

190
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 2: But where does that leave Jedfish?

191
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 5: Right?

192
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 3: Because that seems to be the big conversation right now

193
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 3: amongst Husky fans, like where does he go? Where does

194
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: udub go from him? And he very well may want

195
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: to move on and go somewhere, but losing to Wisconsin

196
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: doesn't help him to do that. So I guess my

197
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: question is how much do you believe Jedfish wants to

198
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: exit Washington. There's been a lot of report from people

199
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 3: saying they believe that. And then number two, if he

200
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: does want to exit, can he exit?

201
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 5: Well?

202
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 6: I have never thought he was a lot long termer

203
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 6: in Seattle in the first place.

204
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 5: I mean to me, it was he viewed.

205
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 6: It as a stepping stone job to get somewhere else

206
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 6: NFL Florida his alma mater, or a premier what he've

207
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 6: uses a better gig in the big ten or sec.

208
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 6: I thought he was a short timer all along, which

209
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 6: was part of the risk in hiring him in the

210
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 6: first place. So to me, I mean, he's got his

211
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 6: eyes out, there's no question he's looking around.

212
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 5: Now.

213
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 6: This doesn't help his market value, but I also don't

214
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 6: think it really hurts. I mean, you know, if UCLA

215
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 6: really wants him, then losing the Wisconsin is not Washington.

216
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 6: Losing Wisconsin's not going to prevent the Bruins from going

217
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 6: after him, for instance. What it does is it hurts

218
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 6: him in the market for jobs that he doesn't have

219
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 6: any kind of personal ties to, whether it's Florida or UCLA.

220
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 6: But you know, Washington's need to expect this was going

221
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 6: to happen the moment they hired him, which again was

222
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 6: part of the risk in hiring him. And then they

223
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 6: have his buyoss not very big, so almost any school

224
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 6: is going to be able to afford him if they

225
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 6: want him.

226
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 7: So what do you make of his comments? A softy

227
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 7: asked him this week. Other people have asked him this week.

228
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 4: He says he loves his job here.

229
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 7: I mean, do you believe anything that come out of

230
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 7: coaches mouths when they answer those type of questions, or

231
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 7: is Jedfish in a little bit of a different bucket

232
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 7: than some other coaches because he has traveled so many.

233
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 4: Places in such a short time.

234
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 5: I believe very few of them.

235
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 6: There are a few instances where I do believe them,

236
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 6: like Kenny Dillingham at ASU. He grew up in Phoenix,

237
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 6: he went to ASU, he lives next door to his sister.

238
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 6: He just signed a contract that is based on longevity

239
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 6: and security. I believe Kenny Dillyham is standing at issue

240
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 6: for a long time, but there's very few cases like that.

241
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 6: I don't believe Jetfish anything he says, why would you?

242
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 6: But I also don't believe most of them.

243
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 5: I mean, Fish said that same kind of.

244
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 6: Stuff when when he was at Arizona and I saw

245
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 6: his comment was that yesterday about the lists, like those

246
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 6: people who make the list don't know anything. You know

247
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 6: who makes those lists, the agents, they're who make the list.

248
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 6: And his agent is leaking his name to reporters to

249
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 6: drum up interest so I kind of laughed when he

250
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 6: said the lists are are, you know, basically irrelevant because

251
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 6: they're coming from agents.

252
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: Well, what do you think happens?

253
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 3: Honestly, if you had to put any significant amount of

254
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 3: money on this thing, for what Jetfish does when the

255
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 3: year is over, And obviously it depends in a lot

256
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 3: of ways on how this year goes for Washington. Right,

257
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: if thinking rally and finish with ten wins and beat

258
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: Oregon and you win a ballgame, his resume looks a

259
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 3: lot stronger.

260
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: So what does your gut tell you Jed Fish is

261
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: doing next year?

262
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 6: Well, my gut tells me that they're going to lose

263
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 6: to the Ducks and that they may also lose to UCLA.

264
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know why you trust them on

265
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 6: the road. They can't win on the road, So I

266
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 6: think they go there's a real chance they could lose

267
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 6: to UCLA. I think the only viable place. I really

268
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 6: don't think Florida is an option. Was what my bet

269
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 6: tells me. And so it's pretty much Ucla or staying

270
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 6: in Seattle. If I were betting, I would probably bet

271
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 6: he's back in Seattle for next season.

272
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 7: If they were to lose those two games and even

273
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 7: win a bowl game and finish eight and five. I mean,

274
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 7: is that a step in the right direction just because

275
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 7: it's two wins more than last year, or is that

276
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 7: a massive disappointment?

277
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 6: I would say, I mean for Husky fans, I would

278
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 6: think would be viewed as a big disappointment given where

279
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 6: they were.

280
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 5: If you had told me before.

281
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 6: The season, they're going to go seven and five and

282
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 6: then win a bowl game, I'd have thought, Yeah, I

283
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 6: could see that. That might have been slightly on the

284
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 6: low end of what I I would have expected, but

285
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 6: it was certainly a reasonable range. But if you're a

286
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 6: Washington fan and you watched them play so well in

287
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 6: so many games early and that they're six and two

288
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 6: and they're thinking about maybe sneaking into the playoff, and

289
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 6: then they finish eight and five, it'd be a pretty

290
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 6: big disappointment.

291
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 5: I would think, yeah.

292
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess in that context, I could see it.

293
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: Do we allow ourselves to look at it? John, And

294
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: I guess, I don't know. Maybe this is just you know,

295
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: one perspective, right, I'm looking at it through one lens

296
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 3: and you're looking at it through a different lens, and

297
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: that is the lens of what he took over a

298
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: year and a half ago when the roster got blown

299
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: to bits. Was it really realistic in February of twenty

300
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: twenty four that in year two he was going to

301
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: make the College Football Playoff? And if I would have

302
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: told you in February of twenty four that in year

303
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: two he's going to be nine and three and their

304
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: second year in the Big Ten after the roster got

305
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 3: blown to Kingdom, come, would you have looked at that

306
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: at that point as real progress.

307
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 5: Yeah? I thought all.

308
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 6: Along if if that would be real progres and if

309
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 6: I were a Washington fan and they finished date in five,

310
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,359
Speaker 6: I think, you know what that's I'm a little disappointed,

311
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 6: but I can see the trajectory here, and I'm encouraged

312
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 6: about what I've seen, and I'm ready for next year.

313
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 6: And then next year they need to be winning nine

314
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 6: or ten games. But I don't really like, as an

315
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 6: objective observer, I don't really see that there's a big

316
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 6: problem with where things are going.

317
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 5: Even if they do lose two more, I think on the.

318
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,119
Speaker 6: Against the broad canvas of what you could have reasonably expected,

319
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 6: they're doing fine.

320
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 7: John Softy has long asked for a sarcasm font on Twitter.

321
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 7: We have not gotten one yet, So I want to

322
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 7: know if this tweet by John Wilner last night deserves

323
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 7: the sarcasm font or if it's authentic, said, the AP

324
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 7: Top twenty five is so meaningless that this platform has

325
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 7: been bombarded all season with complaints about the Bowl. Yep,

326
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 7: it's totally irrelevant. Nobody cares. Why does the AP even bother?

327
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 7: Do we need a sarcasm font on that? Or is

328
00:15:58,520 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 7: that authentic?

329
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 6: You need sarcasm in the biggest, boldest funt you could find.

330
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 6: That's I'm getting a kick out of it because there's

331
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 6: been so many complaints about the AP poll on Twitter

332
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 6: all season about how it's meaningless. Well, then why is

333
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 6: everybody talking about it every week and complaining about it?

334
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 6: Obviously it's not meaningless, and I can assure.

335
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 5: You that there's no chance.

336
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 6: The AP is going to get rid of the poll

337
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 6: and it sees how much reaction it's getting.

338
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 8: No.

339
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I can answer all those questions

340
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: for you if you'd like.

341
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I know what you're in.

342
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: I have responses every single one. First of all, the

343
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 3: reason why people talk about the AP pole the way

344
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: they do is because up until last week, it.

345
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: Was the only poll.

346
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: All Right, nobody looks at the coaches poll because the

347
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 3: coaches poll is sid's voting, and coaches have no idea

348
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 3: what the hell they're doing. So up until last week,

349
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: until last Tuesday, it was the only poll we had.

350
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: It's less relevant now for conversation because the CFP is

351
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: now officially out for the second consecutive week. Came out,

352
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: as Dick said about a half an hour ago. However,

353
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: I think the reason why people threw a fit about

354
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 3: this week's eight peo pole is because the Oregon Ducks

355
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 3: went to Iowa beat Iowa Ole miss host of Citadel,

356
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: and these two teams fliped.

357
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: Spots in the AP. How does that happen? And how

358
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: do you sleep at.

359
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: Night working for an organization like that?

360
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 5: That's That's one I can't explain.

361
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: I moved to Oregon out for sure, I.

362
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 6: Cannot explain a lot of the stuff that happens in

363
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 6: the a people I can't explain. And there's certainly I

364
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 6: get plenty of criticism for some of my votes, Like

365
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 6: right now, I'm getting criticized for where I have textas

366
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 6: relative to Vanderbilt and Oklahoma and you know what, that's

367
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 6: I have my own way of doing it, and I

368
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 6: have to think that losing the Florida is a terrible

369
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 6: loss for Texas.

370
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 9: Uh.

371
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 6: But you know, everybody has their own unique way of

372
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 6: doing it, and there's going to be discrepancies and quirks

373
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 6: in their polls. The one thing that is tough for

374
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 6: me to swallow is when there's ballots that are based

375
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 6: on people not being in voters not being informed of

376
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 6: the results. That bothers me as a voter.

377
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 7: John Should a team be able to change a player's

378
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 7: number and disguise him as a punter like USC did

379
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 7: with Sam Hewart on Friday?

380
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 6: What I want to know is why didn't USC save

381
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 6: that for the Oregon game?

382
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: That was a good point point.

383
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 6: Why would you use it when you're in a game

384
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 6: you're gonna win. So the bottom line.

385
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 5: On that is it was a penalty.

386
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 6: What should have happened is the Trujan should have been

387
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 6: assessed a fifteen yard penalty when their actual punter came

388
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 6: out on the field later in the game, because you

389
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 6: can't have two players that play the same position were

390
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 6: the same number. So Sam Hewart comes out there in

391
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 6: eighty and they do the fake punt, fine, but the

392
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 6: moment the other punter comes out wearing eighty, that's when

393
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 6: the violation occurs.

394
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 5: So that is technically that's the rule. They're going to

395
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 5: get this.

396
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 6: I'm a little surprised there wasn't like a mid week change,

397
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 6: you know how. Sometimes they'll do a midwek change and

398
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 6: then caa rules because of a loophole, like they did

399
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 6: last year. I think with Oregon and Ohio State and

400
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 6: the eleven or the twelve man on the field, they'll

401
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 6: get that cleared up, I think over the off season.

402
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 3: But it was a violation by USA presee, cheating Trojan

403
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: bastards is what they are, and they got Well, yes.

404
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 6: You could say that, but I'm going to get back

405
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 6: to our first topic. UFC is trying to save the

406
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 6: Big ten from a gigantic mistake, and if they succeed

407
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 6: at Washington, Pens should be thanking the Trojans right because

408
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 6: Washington is one of those schools that I just I'm

409
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 6: having a hard time wrapping my arms around what they're doing.

410
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 3: Interesting. All right, well we'll dig more into that and

411
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 3: get back to you next week. All right, you're on fire,

412
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 3: my friend.

413
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: You got it.

414
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 3: Again, Iowa plus the points against the Ducks seven and

415
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: four on the air, three and one your last four

416
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 3: Willner's winner. The Windalorean has again the proper path. He

417
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 3: is walking the straight line, and he is on his

418
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 3: way to another winning season.

419
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 2: Let's not veer off. Okay, let's not slip up.

420
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 3: Let's not be convinced to go the wrong way when

421
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 3: the right way has been working so well, John, what

422
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 3: do you got this week for us?

423
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 6: I'm actually I'm going with the Huskies because they're good

424
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 6: at home, and they're very good at home against bad

425
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 6: teams and produce bad and the last line I saw.

426
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 5: Was sixteen and a half. That's still okay?

427
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, I mean, I mean, Illinois is way better

428
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 6: than Perdue.

429
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 5: You could argue Rutgers.

430
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 6: Is even better than Perdue. And the Huskies stumped the vote.

431
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 6: So to me, this is like thirty eight ten or

432
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 6: something like that.

433
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

434
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 3: I wonder if this is one of those games where

435
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 3: if the Huskies don't win big, we're gonna have a

436
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: problem on yeah Monday, right, Yeah, all right, John, great stuff,

437
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: enjoy the weekend, and we'll talk next Tuesday.

00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: and was hyping the Seahawks. He's not even tuning in

Speaker 3: right now. He's doing something back there. Because I'd like

00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 3: that missed it, the steven A clip number two on

475
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 3: Fun with Audio, can you grab that again?

476
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: Thanks? See you told me about this in the commercial break.

477
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 4: I would have been able to have.

478
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: Well, if you were listening to what was happening on

479
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 2: Running Crack and you want to be mad at a

480
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: cracking one, right, not mad.

481
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: At anybody, Hey, who's mad? I'm just telling you get

482
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: that clip for me, Pale. I still can't believe.

483
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 2: That people.

484
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm trying to equate this to something that

485
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: we've said on the air, Dick right, like an example

486
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 3: of a narrative that was formed about an athlete or

487
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 3: a coach that was based on one game. Yeah, because

488
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold has this choker narrative that people like Steven A.

489
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 3: Smith have slapped on him after one playoff game. And

490
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 3: when I asked, you, guys during fun with Attio at

491
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 3: three forty five, how many playoff games has he played?

492
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 2: I thought, am I missing something? Maybe it was like

493
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 2: three or four? No, just the one.

494
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 3: And that came last year, not even a year ago.

495
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: So this is what Stephen A said to me at

496
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: times on ESPN the other day.

497
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 11: Does anyone here know what Mike McDonald's record is on

498
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 11: the road with this team?

499
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 6: They didn't.

500
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 11: They didn't, one, guys. So when we talk about the

501
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 11: road going through the Philadelphia Eagles, you know who's not

502
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 11: scared of doing that? This Seattle Seahawk because they have

503
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 11: been going on the row dominating teams.

504
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 12: Well, hold on, hold, don Mena comes let's pump the

505
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 12: brakes for just a second. McDonald coach McDonald can feel

506
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 12: that way all he wants to. He ain't coach Sam

507
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 12: Donald in the playoffs. I he ain't coach Sam Donald playoff.

508
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 4: So that's wait, let's wait and see.

509
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say.

510
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 3: It's incredible because I don't want to be just a

511
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 3: total homer and defend Sam Donald to a tee and

512
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 3: have what are the Seahawks colors green and silver? Whatever

513
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 3: the hell they are? Green blue, silver colored glasses on? Like,

514
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 3: I want to see some logic in that, right, I

515
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 3: want to see some logic in painting a guy as

516
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: a playoff choker, which Stephen A basically just did after

517
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 3: one playoff game.

518
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: What am I missing here?

519
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 7: It is to be expected that Sam Donald struggled in

520
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 7: that playoff game. He was playing an excellent defense and

521
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 7: a quarterback that had won a.

522
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 4: Super Bowl before. You know who's gonna be the Sam

523
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 4: Donald this year?

524
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 7: I'm telling you right now, Jackson, you can record this

525
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 7: on November the eleventh, all right, Drake May and the

526
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 7: New England Patriots are probably if you look at their record,

527
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 7: they could go like thirteen and four. They play nobody, nobody,

528
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 7: Right the rest of the year, they are going to

529
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 7: be like Minnesota, and they are going to go to

530
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 7: the playoffs and they will face in the divisional round

531
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 7: like a Kansas City Chiefs or a Baltimore Ravens, and

532
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 7: Drake May will look terrible and everybody will say, oh,

533
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 7: look he choked in the playoffs. No, he's a young

534
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 7: quarterback that hadn't never started in the playoffs, just like

535
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 7: Sam Donald was a twenty six year old quarterback that

536
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 7: had never started in the playoffs.

537
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 3: Again, I'm just I'm looking for an analogy here, and

538
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: I'm struggling to.

539
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 7: Find out to find a history by behind one game,

540
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,239
Speaker 7: Like if there was a I don't know, Let's say

541
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 7: there's a rookie NBA player Kevin Durant, right, two thousand

542
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 7: and eight, Okay, Sonics make the playoffs and.

543
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: He struggles and they lose, and over the offseason, Oh man,

544
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: you haven't seen what Durant does in the playoffs.

545
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 2: Man, he must have played a lot.

546
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 3: No, just the one series, I mean, just right, like

547
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 3: it's it just defies logic. And again, I guess, I

548
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 3: guess maybe people are just kind of waiting for him

549
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: to fall apart because they can't believe the turnaround and

550
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 3: they don't believe it's true. And he's not the only one.

551
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: By the way, he was on with Jackson Bevans today

552
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 3: on his podcast. He was on with us two weeks ago,

553
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: right with you and me, and he said, he's great,

554
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 3: but I want to see what happens come playoff time.

555
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 3: And hey, look, in the end, all quarterbacks are judged

556
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 3: by what they do in the postseason.

557
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: I get that all guys are judged.

558
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 3: If they play on really good regular season teams, they

559
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 3: will be eventually judged on what they do come playoff time.

560
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: And I think that's fair. And Sam Darnold, we may

561
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 3: Dick be talking in two months from now. Who knows

562
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: about a guy that can't get it done come playoff time.

563
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 3: The more playoff games he plays and the more playoff

564
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 3: games he struggles in, the more that vrative becomes appropriate.

565
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 3: I just don't think it's appropriate now after four quarters.

566
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 4: The only I agree with you on that.

567
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 7: The only guy I can think of that I remember

568
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 7: got hammered pretty good after his first playoff game was

569
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 7: Lamar Jackson. He had an amazing season and remember they

570
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 7: played the Chargers in his first ever playoff game, and

571
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 7: he was bad. He completed forty eight percent of his passes,

572
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 7: he had a passer rating of seventy eight. He had

573
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 7: a QBR of eleven in that game.

574
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 4: And people say.

575
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 7: That's team Lamar Jackson can win games in the regular season,

576
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 7: but he's not a playoff quarterback. And now, hey, to

577
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 7: their defense, Lamar Jackson doesn't won a lot of games playoff.

578
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 3: It took some time to actually have that narrative bear

579
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 3: out and right, and it's probably fair, but you're trying.

580
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 7: To But you asked, do I have a cop of

581
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 7: somebody that got killed after one playoff game? I do

582
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 7: remember people saying Lamar Jackson after one game, Yeah, doesn't

583
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 7: have the type of game that fits in the playoffs.

584
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: Well, again, I first of all, the guy wasn't even

585
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: really supposed to be there a year ago. What he did,

586
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 3: the only reason why they were there to begin with

587
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 3: was in a lot of ways because of him. Right

588
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 3: the year that Darnald had a year ago, Like, do

589
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 3: they go fourteen to three without Sam Darnaldo, who was

590
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: their backup quarterback last year because McCarthy was hurt and

591
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 3: Carson wentz. I don't think was there yet who was

592
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 3: the number two guy in Minnesota last season?

593
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: Looked that up for me if I will.

594
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 3: But that's the point is that they were only there

595
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: in a lot of ways because of Sam Darnald and

596
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 3: the year that he had.

597
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: So I am totally willing.

598
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 3: To let Donald's career play out, especially in January, Dick

599
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: and see what he does come playoff time.

600
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 2: What I'm not willing to do yet, Nick Mullens.

601
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 3: Nick Mullens, what I'm not willing to do yet after

602
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: one playoff game is paint him as a playoff choker.

603
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 3: And I may and we may be painting him as

604
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: a playoff choker totally in a year two years from now.

605
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: If he keeps making the postseason, the Hawks keep getting

606
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: them to the playoffs, and he keeps falling apart come

607
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: playoff time, then yeah, at that point, then yes, the

608
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: label is totally fair.

609
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 2: But in no way, shape or form do I believe

610
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: it's fair right now.

611
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 7: N Let's say Sam Donald, we go to the playoffs

612
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 7: and Sam Donald has the exact same game that he

613
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 7: had against San Francisco in the first game of the season.

614
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 2: Okay, you know you're.

615
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 7: Sixteen to twenty three seventy percent, but didn't have a touchdown,

616
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 7: didn't have an interception.

617
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 4: They lose seventeen to thirteen. Is that a playoff choke?

618
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 4: Or is that Sam.

619
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 7: Donald going up against the good defense and getting held down.

620
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 3: I mean to me, it's hard to answer those questions, right,

621
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: Like we always say, how are you gonna feel in

622
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 3: two months from now?

623
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

624
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: Ask me in two months. I have no idea. Let's

625
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 3: talk context. What kind of team are they playing? How

626
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: good are they defensively?

627
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 6: Right?

628
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 2: All that stuff is what you're talking about.

629
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: So like, if they play I'm just looking at the

630
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: top defensive teams right now in the NFC.

631
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: Like the Rams this week, right, let's go.

632
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: Let's go Rams, Let's go if they play in the Packers,

633
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 3: if they play Philadelphia, a team like that, and he

634
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 3: puts up those kinds of numbers and they have a

635
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: hard time running the ball, and guys are having a

636
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 3: hard time getting open. It's a slug fest, a low

637
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 3: scoring game. I think in the end, all he's got

638
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 3: to do is win. To be totally honest with you,

639
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: I don't give a damn what they look like in

640
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 3: the postseason.

641
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 2: Just win.

642
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 3: If you're talking about your expectations are Hey, if we

643
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 3: play the Rams in the playoffs, or we play the

644
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 3: Packers in the playoffs, or the Eagles in the playoffs,

645
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: or even let's say the Lions in the playoffs, see

646
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 3: and the Seahawks win. But Sam Darnold looks like ass.

647
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: That he's terrible.

648
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 2: That's just stupid.

649
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 4: I mean, most quarterbacks look like ass against those teams.

650
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 3: Football is survive in advance in the postseason, just like

651
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 3: it was for the Mariners. Man, nobody cared just win games.

652
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

653
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like there is a short

654
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 3: fuse that a lot of people have out there, including

655
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: a lot of in the national media. You just heard

656
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 3: a clip right there, right from Steven Ay that are

657
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 3: waiting for this guy to go to the playoffs, crap

658
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: his pants and for them to say, I told you, sir,

659
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,760

674
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 3: Huskies in Purdue on Saturday? You heard the take from

675
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 3: the Husky Hawks Greg Lewis Mario Bailey says, there is

676
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 3: absolutely nothing the Huskies can do in this game to

677
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 3: make you feel any better about what happens Saturday versus Wisconsin.

678
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot they can't do to make

679
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 3: you feel worse about what happened against Wisconsin. Like, do

680
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: you like the fact that they're playing Purdue this weekend

681
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 3: or do you almost wish they were playing somebody else

682
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 3: of significant so maybe you could regain a little bit

683
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 3: of what was lost last I.

684
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 7: Absolutely think that I would rather be playing a usc An, Iowa,

685
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 7: somebody that's got some cachet somebody's got a number.

686
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 4: By their name because I finished, because I think they would.

687
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 7: Win that game, coming on a game like that at home,

688
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 7: the way they play at home, I think they would

689
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 7: win a game like that.

690
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: Well, I guess my question is this, what is First

691
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: of all, we know what's left to play for, and

692
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 3: that is to significantly improve your win loss record versus

693
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 3: last year.

694
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: Right, that's it. Right, we're talking.

695
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 3: About beating Oregon great down the road, great, but winning

696
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 3: nine games, winning ten games I still think would mark

697
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: a lot of progress for this football team considering where

698
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 3: they were in February of twenty twenty four.

699
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: But are we looking for an identity?

700
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: Are we looking at a bunch of guys that are

701
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: coming back next year? This is where I struggle, guys

702
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 3: with this is that in years past, which means like

703
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 3: three years ago, we would look at a team like

704
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: this and say, oh man, they really got something clicking

705
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 3: with Roebuck and Vines Bright and Demon Williams and that

706
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 3: threesome there, and this auDA Mohammed or Jordan Washington or

707
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: that line's gonna come back next year. We could always

708
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: look ahead in college football always, and we could always

709
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 3: say they had a rough year record, wisement man.

710
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: There's some pieces that are guaranteed.

711
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 4: To come back and I can't do that.

712
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: Now, you can't do that exactly right, So how do

713
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: we approach this?

714
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 7: I I just can't get out of my mind what

715
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 7: Dixon told me in the car today where he just.

716
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 3: Said it is this something he wants on the air

717
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 3: or was that between the father and son?

718
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 4: Might have been between father and son, but it's his

719
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 4: voice sound like this anymore? I mean it, but it

720
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 4: was very pertinent. Quote.

721
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 7: Well, they really have nothing to play for anymore, right,

722
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 7: And I feel that that Dixon represents ninety percent of

723
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 7: Husky names.

724
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 3: Well, let's get some text. I have nothing to play.

725
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: How you feel is that if you're not playing for

726
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 3: the CFP, that there's nothing left to play for.

727
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 13: So when I was a kid, I would play those

728
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 13: NCAA Football EA Sports video games, and I would always

729
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 13: do the franchise mode and playing with the Huskies, And

730
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 13: when I lost either the second or third game of

731
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 13: a given season the franchise mode, I would just simulate

732
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 13: the rest of the year because I knew, well, I'm

733
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 13: not going to be in the BCS National Championship Game

734
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 13: this year.

735
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:31,240
Speaker 2: Is lost.

736
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 13: I'm just gonna fa I don't care about the other bowls.

737
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 13: I'm just gonna simulate the whole thing and then go

738
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 13: to next year.

739
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 4: Right now, couldn't you couldn't you sim the rest of

740
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 4: the season.

741
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 13: And probably it's weird because looking back, I'm like, what

742
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 13: an idiotic little kid. But at the same time, I'm

743
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 13: a Husky fan and right now I'm like, cool, We're

744
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 13: going to be in a nonsense bowl game.

745
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 2: I don't maybe we getting a good one.

746
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 3: But see, here's the difference though, Like even even at

747
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 3: some of the like take some of the Seahawks seasons

748
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 3: where they were seven and nine under Pete Carroll or

749
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 3: the Mariners where they fell short, we could go back

750
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 3: and say, oh yeah, but look at this court. It's

751
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 3: a good difference the right look at the court. They're

752
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 3: all coming back. We can go to spring training or

753
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 3: go to training camp and say that we know who

754
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 3: the left tackle is, we know who the starting catcher is.

755
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: You can't do that in college football. So if you're

756
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 3: not playing for anything now, it's like it's over. Yes,

757
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,479
Speaker 3: I mean the rivalry with the Ducks is still there,

758
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 3: and yeah, winning eight or nine games, ten games would

759
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 3: be nice. But if you're not playing for the CFP

760
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 3: and you can't guarantee that everyone's back next season, I

761
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 3: get it, and I get it. I think it's more

762
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: of a problem now than ever. You say to yourself

763
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 3: the Perdue game, I'm concerned about the crowd on Saturday. Oh,

764
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: I think it's concerned four o'clock kickoff coming off that loss.

765
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: Cfp's done.

766
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 7: I think it's the one thing, the one thing really

767
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 7: on and it's terrible. But the one thing we have

768
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 7: to look forward to is potentially being a spoiler. Let's

769
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 7: have USC heap Oregon. So if they come here and lose,

770
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 7: we have knocked him. That would that would feed my

771
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 7: soul a little bit if we were the.

772
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 4: Team that knocked him out of the CFP in the

773
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 4: last game of the season.

774
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 3: I think that's a good way to put it. Man,

775
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 3: is there anything that can feed your soul as a Husky?

776
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 3: Is there anything that can feed your soul as a

777
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 3: Husky football fan right now? Because I can't guarantee everyone's

778
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 3: coming back. You're not playing for the College Football Playoff,

779
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 3: don't know if the coach is coming back. I don't

780
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 3: know if the coach is going to return.

781
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: Even if he does return, there's gonna be some attrition.

782
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 3: We know that some but probably not very maybe not

783
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 3: much of significance.

784
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: But you never know who's gonna come and who's gonna go.

785
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,000

804
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: about the interception, the fumble, the whole thing, and then

805
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 3: I grabbed him by the back of the neck and

806
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 3: I dragged him down the hallway the tunnel and I said, look, man,

807
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 3: you and I are having a conversation. We are talking,

808
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,120

00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 3: six minute talk. So you'll hear my take and my

810
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 3: talk with DeMont Williams coming up in a matter of minutes.

811
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: I do have something to announce here on the radio show.

812
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 4: You're pregnant. Congratulats I am.

813
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 3: I'm having a baby. That's why I'm so fat lately.

814
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 3: By the way, a trip to Wisconsin will do that

815
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 3: for you a lot of brats. It is unbelievable how

816
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: much weight I can put on over three days. Now

817
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 3: it comes off fast, but it's incredible how much I

818
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: can put on. I'm going to give you a Christmas gift,

819
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 3: and I've decided to not buy you a Christmas gift

820
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 3: this year. Instead, this will be my gift to you. Okay,

821
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 3: we got about four minutes here before we're gonna hear

822
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 3: from Demon Williams. You can talk about whatever you want, man.

823
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 3: Gonzaga Husky basketball, Well.

824
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 7: Gonzaga's playing Creighton in about an hour. I'm ready to

825
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:17,479
Speaker 7: getting ready for that one.

826
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 3: No, we're going to your son's golf game, no daughter,

827
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 3: talk about how much you love your wife. You can

828
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 3: talk about whatever you want. This is my gift to you.

829
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 3: Just don't expect squat on Christmas Day.

830
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 4: Okay, that's fair enough.

831
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 7: I would say my biggest disappointment in the Seattle sports

832
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 7: scene over the last twenty years that I've been on

833
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 7: this rate, at twenty plus that I've been on this

834
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 7: radio station is the fact that my greatest love in

835
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 7: the sport of basketball has not existed in the NBA,

836
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 7: and that for a vast majority of that time, our

837
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 7: college basketball team has been irrelevant.

838
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 4: And I have sat here like by myself.

839
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 7: I feel like I'm the only person in this city

840
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 7: that watches college basketball or NBA every single night, and

841
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 7: yet I can't talk about it on the air because

842
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 7: it feels like nobody cares. I watched the Husky game

843
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 7: in its entirety. We got a long way to go.

844
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 7: I was a little bit, to be honest with you,

845
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 7: I was a little bit disappointed. I thought that was

846
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 7: gonna be a game that they could win, and I

847
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 7: still think it was a game they could win at Baylor.

848
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 7: Just not enough guys stepped up. Hanna Steinbach was rough

849
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 7: this team is gonna have a tough time shooting the.

850
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 4: Three ball all year long.

851
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 7: And I think when you have a tough time shooting

852
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 7: the three ball as a group in its entirety, yeah,

853
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 7: there will be guys that get hot from three, but

854
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 7: they don't have it. I didn't see a pure three

855
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 7: point shooter on that team, and teams are gonna be

856
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 7: able to scout that, and I think that's gonna limit

857
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 7: the upside of this team. I didn't realize that they

858
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 7: were that poor shooting the basketball, so I think it's

859
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 7: gonna limit. I still think this this team absolutely can

860
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 7: be in the NCAA tournament, but I think the upside

861
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 7: is limited just based upon just the pure shot making

862
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 7: ability or inability of this team.

863
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 3: Well, let me just ask this man, because I think

864
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 3: this was a basketball team that when they put this

865
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 3: thing together, we thought, huh, that is a tournament team

866
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 3: right there. Yes, are we saying now that we are

867
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 3: not going to be surprised if they missed the tournament?

868
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 4: No, I don't think you can say that for one game.

869
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 7: Like I just said, I still think they are going

870
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 7: to be a tournament team because I think the Big

871
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 7: ten should get nine ten teams which means all you

872
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 7: got to do is be in the top half of

873
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 7: the Big Ten. I haven't seen all Big Ten teams yet,

874
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 7: so it's tough for me to make that analysis on

875
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 7: whether the Huskies are a top half of the Big

876
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 7: ten team or a bottom half. But there's five or

877
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 7: six teams in the Big Ten that just talent wise,

878
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 7: have no shot being better than us.

879
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: Well, what what I need to see is I need

880
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 3: to see these guys be ready to roll by January.

881
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 2: And I think that's fair to say.

882
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 3: With all all the NW guys they've got, Danny Sprinkle

883
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 3: deserves a few weeks here to get this thing together

884
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 3: because what I saw Saturday night or Sunday night, Dick,

885
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 3: sorry and Waco, I don't know if you noticed this

886
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 3: or not, and we got to break here in a second.

887
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 3: For Demon, I saw signs of a team that had

888
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 3: played three games together on Sunday night, especially at the

889
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 3: point guard spot, feeding the rest of his teammates. I

890
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 3: saw a guy in JJ Maniquit who was eighteen years old,

891
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 3: and I forget that he's so young, has barely played

892
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 3: with his teammates. They don't even know each other, for

893
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: God's sake, So that was my concern, that is he

894
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 3: going to have enough time to get this thing put together?

895
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 3: And they better because they got no choice. But hey,

896
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 3: Demon Williams had a chance to catch up with him,

897
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 3: told him off the air how impressed I was that

898
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 3: he sucked it up, and he joined the assembled media

899
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 3: this afternoon.

900
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I feel like this has always been

901
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 8: my mind, say, even in you know, high school and

902
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 8: coming up. My dad always taught me that you know,

903
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 8: you got to take your wins and also take your losses.

904
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 8: You know, the quarterback, and you know you're going to

905
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 8: get all the praise when you win, and you know

906
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 8: it's always going to come down all you want to

907
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 8: lose this, So it comes with the job and just

908
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 8: understanding that. And I think it's good for the team

909
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 8: to understand that, you know, what I mess up, I'll

910
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 8: take accountability as well and continue to play out stuff that.

911
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: I could work on too.

912
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's gonna say, I mean, obviously there's highs and

913
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 14: lows in this game. There's going to be a lot

914
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 14: more highs and lows for you as your career goes by.

915
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 14: What is Saturday night like for you when you're on

916
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 14: the plane, you're flying home thinking about the game Sunday morning.

917
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 14: What are those twenty four forty eight hours like for you,

918
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 14: particularly after a game like that.

919
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean definitely just disappointed, you know, not how

920
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 8: we wanted it to go at all, and going back

921
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 8: and watching the tam you know, having plays that you

922
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 8: want back is definitely you know, a bad feeling in

923
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 8: your stomach. You know, you just want to have those back.

924
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 8: But the only way to make those things right is

925
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 8: by going out and playing your best game this week.

926
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 8: And that's the only mindset you really can't have, Just

927
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 8: to look forward and try not to pay too much

928
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 8: attention backwards.

929
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 14: Yeah, Deman, we hear a lot from NFL players that

930
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 14: even talk about how much they hear from fans on

931
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 14: social media. With the advent of betting, they're hearing a

932
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 14: lot more from a lot more people.

933
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 2: Do you hear that stuff? Do you hear criticism? Do

934
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 2: you hear praise? Do you see social media and people

935
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: talking about you?

936
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,959
Speaker 8: I'd say a little bit, But I think that the

937
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 8: best part you know about this is just trying to

938
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 8: stay off of it as much as possible. Obviously, you know,

939
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 8: obviously it's the same thing. You know, people are going

940
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 8: to send your praises when you do good, and you know,

941
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 8: it's just not so much when you do bad, and

942
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 8: that's just is what it is. And you know that

943
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 8: comes with playing the sport, that comes to playing any sports.

944
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 8: So yeah, I would say just trying to go back

945
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 8: to a draw onboard and focus on people in the building.

946
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 14: Well, the whole staying off social media thing.

947
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 2: I'm fifty two.

948
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 14: If you could show me how to do that, that'd

949
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 14: be phenomenal because that's a great way to go through life.

950
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 6: Man.

951
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 14: But to mine Williams with us, the lesson that you learned,

952
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 14: in particular from the fumble on third and twelve, talk

953
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 14: to me about what you want to take from that moment.

954
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 10: Yeah.

955
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 8: I was just say, a situation in the football, knowing

956
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 8: where I'm at on the field, knowing the type of

957
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 8: game it was, and the weather conditions obviously, just ball

958
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 8: security and general you know, just taking care of the

959
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 8: ball has to be a premium and I understand that

960
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,840
Speaker 8: and just continue to just try to make sure I

961
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 8: improve on that each week and throw.

962
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 10: That it happen again.

963
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, And then same kind of lesson, same kind of

964
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 14: question on the deep ball to Desmond that got picked off.

965
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 14: Talk to me about what you saw on film that

966
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 14: you want to correct next time.

967
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 11: Yeah.

968
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 5: For sure.

969
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 8: On the field, I felt like I was going to

970
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 8: have a one on one opportunity, and you know, the

971
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 8: corner didn't really bite. So that's all me to stay

972
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 8: disciplined in my head and make sure I continue to

973
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 8: go through my progression and get to my guys in

974
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 8: the flats. Whatever I gotta do to just get the

975
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 8: ball out.

976
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 14: And you had a brand new center for a majority

977
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 14: of that game, and you might have handing a game

978
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 14: with you this Saturday. Tell me about that transition when

979
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 14: it happens mid game in a game like that where

980
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 14: it's wet, it's windy, and you got a brand new

981
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 14: guy under center.

982
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: How difficult is that to go through.

983
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 8: I want to say it's in crazy difficulties off the

984
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 8: reps in practice and you know, making sure that he

985
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 8: always stays ready and having that relationship with him, that

986
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 8: communication to understand that I trust him whenever he's in

987
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 8: the game, so continue to have that mindset with him.

988
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 2: I think it was just makes us be better.

989
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, how much do you still feel like you're growing

990
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 14: as a quarterbacks as a second year guy?

991
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 2: In this game. Yeah, definitely.

992
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, I feel like I have a

993
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,959
Speaker 8: ton of room to grow, and you know, I feel

994
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 8: like I just got to keep on just be where

995
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 8: my feet are and continue to just take it one

996

Speaker 8: day at a time, and you know, just trust God,

997
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,440

Speaker 14: Yeah, is there anything about the road home road splits

1012
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 14: that you need to correct so you can give yourself

1013

Speaker 14: the best chance to be your best when you're away

1014
