All Right, 13 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: I think that we should all sing a line from 14 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: one of his songs for Michael Boublay to judge you 15 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: guys up for that.

Weird 27 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: day in college basketball. Syracuse lost on Tuesday, second time 28 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: that coach k Roy Williams and Jim Beheim have all 29 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: lost on the same day. Duke's already lost two games 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: at home this season, and they got beat by Illinois 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: double digits there not Granted it's not Cameron Indoor and 32 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: the crazies there, but it's still Duke losing at home. 33 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: I've watched some basketball, you know, Crayton Kansas. I watched that. 34 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm trying it. Just gonna take a little 35 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: while here for I really get all in. If I 36 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: even get all in on college basketball. Let me get 37 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: a couple of phone calls Greg and Arizona. Hey, Greg, 38 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: thanks for holding What do you have for me today? Ay? DP, 39 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: thanks for your call here. So I'm just my thing 40 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: is the Ohio State Okay being number four. Cincinnati, you know, 41 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: having not played in a while, had dropped the place, 42 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: and then you have Ohiose States played five games, but 43 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: when they were you know, four, and oh they moved 44 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: up the spot the number three and recently just moved back. 45 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: But do you think there's any favor towards Ohio State 46 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: because of I guess the strength of program. Oh sure, 47 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: my opinion big ten being a little weaker than the SEC. 48 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 1: I'm a big Gators fan, but I still think D 49 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: and M should be in that fourth spot. Okay, you 50 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: know I've said before, Ohio State to me is going 51 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: to be in the Final four based off of the 52 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: history of Ohio State football, because there's nothing that says, boy, 53 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: look at what we've done this year. The eye test. 54 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: But I've said it, and I hate repeating myself about this, 55 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: but it's a TV show, the Final Four. You want 56 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: the blue blood's in there the best you can. A 57 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: and M might be worthy of being in there. Can't 58 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: see it happening, Cincinnati undefeated, can't see it happening. If 59 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: Florida beats Alabama and Clemson beats Notre Dame, it feels 60 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: like Florida, Alabama, Clemson and Notre Dame will be in 61 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: the final four. I think that's the only way that 62 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: Ohio State gets shut out. But if I'm Ohio State, 63 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: I'm already in the final four, and I'm going to 64 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: assume Alabama is going to beat Florida, so that takes 65 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: Florida out of the equation. Texas A and M doesn't 66 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: have another game that it can schedule. And for those 67 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: of you saying A and M in Ohio State should 68 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: play each other, well, it's not going to happen. If 69 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm Ohio State, I'm in the final four. Why do 70 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: I want to risk that on a neutral field against 71 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: A and M. I'm already in there. A and M 72 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: needs this more than Ohio State needs this. Plus you 73 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: have SEC in Big Ten. You know the safety guidelines 74 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: COVID guidelines are completely different. Also, would it be CBS 75 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: that carries this game? Would it be Fox? Because Fox 76 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: would want Ohio State. They lost Ohio State in Michigan 77 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: and then the SEC with Texas A and M. There's 78 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: just too many hurdle. It sounds good, but it's not 79 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: going to happen. I'd love it, you know, I love 80 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: to see it happen. It's just not going to happen. 81 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: If I'm Ohio State, if I don't play in the 82 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: Big Ten championship, who cares? If I play the second 83 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: place game in the Big Ten, it doesn't matter. As 84 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: long as Ohio State wins, then they would be going 85 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: into the you know, the final four. I mean, I 86 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: just feel that that's what's going to happen here unless 87 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: Florida shocks Alabama. Because if Clemson would blow out Notre Dame, 88 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: I don't think Notre Dame falls all the way out. 89 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: And if that game is close, then Notre Dame and 90 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: Clemson are going to stay in the top four. User 91 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: would stay in the top four. Now you might say, well, 92 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: if Clemson loses to Notre Dame twice, would they fall out? 93 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: And that's a discussion, you know that, you know, we 94 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: could certainly look at that, but I would think they 95 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: want to keep Trevor Lawrence in there the best they can. 96 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, as much as we love the underdog, 97 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: we watch sports, we remember the underdog when they do 98 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: something you know, dramatic out of nowhere, But it doesn't 99 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: happen in college football like you'll get um, you know, 100 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: Ty Detmer at b yu out of nowhere Heisman Trophy 101 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: or Doug Flutie out of nowhere Heisman Trophy. But you're 102 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: not getting those teams playing for a national championship. Remember 103 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: when b YU didn't b YU beat a six and 104 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: six Michigan team with Robbie Bosco as the quarterback at 105 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: b YU. Yeah, like the Liberty Ball or something. Yeah, 106 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: but you don't. Sometimes you get the upset in a 107 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: bowl game, but not where there's big money at stake here, 108 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: because Cincinnati, you could say they passed the eye test, 109 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: but you have to have watched them to see if 110 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: they passed the eye test. And Cincinnati has been consistent 111 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: and been a very good team and a really interesting story, 112 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: but they're not going to be playing for the national title. 113 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: And it just feels like every year, it doesn't take 114 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: any genius, any insight for me to say at the 115 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: beginning of the year, Clemson, Alabama and Ohio State. Right, Clemson, Alabama, 116 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: Ohio State. Now you could then go Notre Dame at 117 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: some point is going to be mentioned in there in 118 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: the top eight teams, top seven. But that's the deck 119 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: is already stacked that you already known, you have a 120 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: preconceived idea they're good team teams. They got pedigree here 121 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: and that's where we are right now. Yeah, Paul Dan, 122 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: you had it exactly right. I've got the preseason college 123 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: football rankings. Clemson was number one. They had thirty eight 124 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: first place votes. Ohio state number two, twenty one first 125 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: place votes. Alabama was third, two first place votes. No 126 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: one else got a first place vote. Notre Dame was tenth. 127 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: So they're the farthest team to get there, but they've 128 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: got history and NBC on their side. You've got a 129 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: lot of help. Yeah, and you got a good team, 130 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: you got a good quarterback, and it's Notre Dame. You're 131 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: gonna tune in either you want to see him win 132 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: or you want to see him lose. Yeah, mcclevin, I've 133 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: been a missile watching Oklahoma lose by thirty in that 134 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: Final four game. By the way, Wow wow, wow, they're 135 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: the fourth They're always the fourth team. Yeah, but you 136 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: could have said Oklahoma will be in there in the 137 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: top five, and Notre Dame will be in there as well, 138 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: So you know that there's three that are going to 139 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: be in there. You absolutely positively knew that Clemson was 140 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: going to be in there. Alabama was going to be 141 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: in there, and Ohio State, and then you have one 142 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: other team that might be an outlier. And I wouldn't 143 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: consider Oklahoma or Ohio State an outlier. But that's what 144 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: college football has become. I don't care for Ohio State 145 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: plays one more game or they play for the Big 146 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: Ten championship. It doesn't matter to me. Ohio State doesn't 147 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: have to play another game, and they can still qualify 148 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: for the Final Four. That's why they don't need to go. 149 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: Let's get a and m to you know, play US 150 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: and or let's get a game against Nebraska. Let's play 151 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: Nebraska again. If I'm Ohio State, I don't need to 152 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: I had all of these COVID cases. My coach couldn't coach. 153 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: We blew out Michigan State, and then we'll play one 154 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: more game. Whoever finishes in second place in the other 155 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: division in the Big Ten, we'll face them, all right, 156 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: So what it's not gonna matter. Oh they don't have 157 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: six six games, it doesn't matter. I wouldn't care about 158 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: the Big Ten title, but I'd certainly care about being 159 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: in the Final four. DJ Nebraska joins US, Hey, DJ, 160 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: hey DP, how you doing? Hey? So with everything going 161 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: on with COVID and everything, and everybody's trying different things 162 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: and experimenting, wouldn't need to be a good time to 163 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: try to expand the playoffs just for this year to 164 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: try it out. Oh, we're well past that, DJ, you 165 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: know that was a topic. But six weeks ago, maybe 166 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: even longer, I said, this is the year to expand 167 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: it because you didn't have fans, you have athletic departments 168 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: decimated because the amount of money that is generated by 169 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: these football programs. This was the year. And then you 170 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: wouldn't have had BYU scrambling to go play Coastal Carolina 171 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: or maybe you know, they would have faced somebody else. 172 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: Like it felt like BYU was really really desperate to 173 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: just have somebody noticed them, and that proved to be 174 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: a very very off opponent on their field, home field, 175 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: and it costs them. But if you said eight teams 176 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: get in, then maybe it's different. Now, maybe they still 177 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: play Coastal Carolina, but you know, b YU anyone anywhere, 178 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: and it came back to haunt them because if that 179 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: game's in BYU, I do believe it's a different game. 180 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: But Coastal Carolina was better than BYU this weekend. Absolutely, 181 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: but Cincinnati would be in Iowa State might be in 182 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: the final eight. Somehow, they'd try to get Georgia in there. 183 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: But at least you would have a better storyline than 184 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: just these four schools that are usually in there every 185 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: single year. James and Virginia. Hi James, good morning, brother, 186 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,119 Speaker 1: things to kicking McCaw. Happy Wednesday. Man. We are Washington. 187 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: I hear you guys talking about all this nine teams 188 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: about the College to Ball playoff, And I just wonder, 189 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: is USC, man, they're under seated. That's a blue blood 190 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: four and OL team right there, man. I mean, if 191 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: they go five and O and they look good in 192 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks, couldn't they squeeze in? What 193 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: isn't that you bring in the whole another side of 194 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: the country when you bring in USC. If we're talking 195 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: about a television product, I don't know, man, I'm just 196 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: thinking out loud. Man, I'm still living off the Washington. 197 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: You guys have a great day. Thank you, Thank you. 198 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: James and Ron Rivera, your coach, will be on with 199 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: us tomorrow. USC. It's been a long time since USC 200 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: factored in nationally. And yeah, they're undefeated, but you're you're 201 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: not talking about a relevant national power in USC. Yeah, 202 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: it's point. USC started the season preseason ranks sixteenth. Their 203 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: four and no. One of their games was a nine 204 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: am Eastern or nine am Pacific time and nobody saw it. 205 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: It went over time the other night they played on Sunday, 206 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: which nobody saw their four and oh they're undefeated. They 207 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: moved up one spot. They're fifteenth in the country. Yeah, 208 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's it feels like they have not accidentally, 209 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: but I mean they've won some games that could have 210 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: gone either way here, so it's not where you go. Boy, 211 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: they passed the eye test even during a normal season. 212 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if USC passes the eye test here. 213 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: And the Pac twelve has been a mess. Yes, mcclen is, 214 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: Ohio say worried about rust if they don't play, say 215 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: they got stuck at five and ohe because they evan 216 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: they've been disrupted through practices. Remember when Ryan Day was on, 217 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: He's like, I can't practice yea, And I think that 218 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: is the reason why I'd want to play one more game, 219 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: but I want to play it against an opponent that 220 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: I feel comfortable against. And that is if you say 221 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: it's going to be Iowa or whoever it might be 222 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: that they face. I don't want to go. I don't 223 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: want to go outside my conference to bring in Texas 224 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: A and M. I risk everything against Texas A and M. 225 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: If I beat Texas A and M, I'm still in 226 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: the final four. But I'm not moving above Clemson and 227 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm not moving above Notre Dame or Alabama right now? Now? 228 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: Would it help you if it would help open the 229 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: seating probably where they might be the third team, and 230 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: you know so, then they would be facing the number 231 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: two team in the playoffs. But if I'm Ohio State, 232 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to help Texas A and M or 233 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: give them that possibility of somehow leap frogging Ohio State. 234 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: The Ravens handled the Cowboys thirty four to seventeen, and 235 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: the numbers aren't pretty if you're a Dallas fan, because 236 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: they rank last in the NFL in rushing yards allowed, 237 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: and they certainly didn't help that number last night, because 238 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: the Ravens rushed for two ninety four. The Cowboys had 239 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: allowed two hundred and ninety more yards in a game 240 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: rushing one time going into this season. They have now 241 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: done that twice in nine games the last nine games, 242 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: the Browns in Week four and the Ravens last night. Also, 243 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has at least one touchdown pass and in 244 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: one rushing touchdown in thirty two consecutive games. Longest streak 245 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Stat of the day, stat of the day, 246 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: that past stat of the day, stat of the day 247 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: here comes that what stat of the day? I just 248 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: saw this? PAULI sent this two men. I mentioned that 249 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: Duke lost by double digits to Illinois. Good Illinois team. 250 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: Mike Shashevsky questions playing basketball during the pandemic. I would 251 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: just like for the safety, the mental and physical health 252 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: of players in the staff to assess where we are. 253 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: What else does he say? Shashevsky says most players won't 254 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: be able to go home and visit family for the holidays, 255 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: that this is a time when they should be able 256 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: to do that for their mental health. We're just plowing 257 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: through this right now. I don't know if coach said 258 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: that to start the year. But you lose back to 259 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: back games, and you lose home games as well, then 260 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. Does John Calipari feel the same way 261 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: because he's losing games as well, but I don't know. 262 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: Timing of that certainly is interesting. Also, Matt Campbell is 263 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: at Iowa State and his name has been mentioned the 264 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Is maybe somebody who could go 265 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: to a bigger program, you know, could you see him 266 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: taking over at Texas? Could you see him taking over 267 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: at Michigan? Midwest guy? He was at Mountain Union for 268 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: a while, I think Toledo, maybe another MAC school Akron, 269 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: and then he's done a really good job at Iowa State, 270 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: According to a report from Dennis Dodd, who appeared on 271 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: the ESPN's College Football XM channel. Despite reports to the contrary, 272 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: y Campbell's not interested in the Texas job and the 273 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: two jobs he has his eye on our Ohio State 274 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: and Notre Dame. Well, I don't think they're going to 275 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: be open anytime soon, don't think so. I would think 276 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: Michigan might be open, and him being a Midwest guy, 277 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: would that be something that he would entertain. Yes, McLevin. 278 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: Is it assuming that maybe one of those two guys 279 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: that Ryan Day or Brian Kelly would go to the NFL? 280 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: Remember the NFL Brian Kelly stuff was hot about a 281 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: year or two ago. I'm told that ain't happen. But 282 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: I think that the you know, Notre Dame fans or 283 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: the at least the alumni, were like, is this as 284 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: good as we're going to get? Is this you do? 285 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: We have a glass ceiling here? And I think the 286 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: win against Clemson the fact that you could say they 287 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: have a legitimate national title contender this year, and I 288 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: think in previous years we've sort of convinced ourselves that 289 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: Notre Dame belonged in the Final four or they could 290 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: hold their own. Again, it's the big boys beating Clemson. 291 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: I think that was that was big. Now you can 292 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: say Clemson had injuries or the COVID and they had 293 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: no Trevor Lawrence, but you know, that was a big win. 294 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: I think perception wise for Notre Dame that they can 295 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: go toe to toe with Alabama and Clemson. But I 296 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: don't see. In fact, I think Brian Kelly just signed 297 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: an extension at Notre Dame, if memory serves me correctly. 298 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: And Ryan, do extensions in college really mean any right? 299 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: You're right, Ryan Day strikes me as a college coach. 300 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: He doesn't strike me as NFL coach. And I think 301 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly I think that was always I was told 302 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: years ago that John Harball this is where Baltimore wasn't 303 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: sure about John Harball, and that John Harball was the 304 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: air apparent at Notre Dame, that there were alumni boosters 305 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: who wanted John Harball to take over for Brian Kelly. 306 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: Well things of obviously he changed for both of those coaches, 307 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,479 Speaker 1: and they're not going anywhere. But you know, Matt Campbell 308 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: at some point is going to get himself a pretty 309 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: good job. We'll take a break, We'll talk some more 310 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: college football with Paul Feinbaum on loan from the Mother's Ship. 311 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: It's coming up on twenty after the hour. Right here 312 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: in the Dan Patrick Show, Built bar, built bar. Now, 313 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: I have the built bars out in the mail room, 314 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: and I open up the packages and I just let 315 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: everybody back there, because what is mine is everybody else's. 316 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: It shouldn't be, but it turns out to be that. 317 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: So I just said, let's not, you know, hide it, 318 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: let's just put it out there. And then I see Todd. 319 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: Todd brings in a briefcase and I don't know what's 320 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: in the briefcase. He brings the briefcase. Yeah, you didn't 321 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: think I noticed. Okay, I didn't. He brings in his briefcase. 322 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: Don't know what's in there. He brings it in, puts 323 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: it on his desk, unpacks, and then he'll leave for 324 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: the day and he'll pack it up and then go. 325 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: So I see Todd putting in some built bars in 326 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: his briefcase. I did do that, and I said, Tod, 327 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: what are you doing? It goes well just for the 328 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: trip home, and I said, well, okay, the long drive 329 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: gotta have at least one of those low calorie, low sugar, 330 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: high protein, high fiber built bars.

I was looking at the 346 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: email chain that Todd was sending to Michael Boublay's people, 347 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: very entertaining, and I thought, they have no idea who 348 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: I am. And then Todd comes back. He goes, hey, 349 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: Michael Boublay is all in. He wants to come on 350 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: the show on Friday, and I go, okay, Michael Boublay. 351 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: But there were references too. I know you guys had 352 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: some fun in his expenses. Somehow Someway, even if they're 353 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: not fans, got back to them that we got killed 354 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: a little bit. He's Paul Finebomb, ESPN radio host, and 355 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: he hosts a show called the Paul Finebomb Show, which 356 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: is convenient because he's Paul Finebaum, the voice of the SEC. Paul, 357 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What would you do if you're 358 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: Ohio State this weekend? I would call Michael Bubley for advice. 359 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: I would hope that right now Dan, and I know 360 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: you have a lot better sources in the Big Ten 361 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: than I do. That the Big Ten athletic directors are 362 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: currently meeting and I find a game for them. I 363 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: think finding a game And I heard you mentioned that 364 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: a minute ago is better than just saying, Okay, you 365 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: don't have to play this weekend, but you're in the 366 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: Big Ten championship game. Anyway, It really isn't that complicated. 367 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't think this is you know, they're they're hanging 368 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: on you know, Marlbury versus Madison is case law from 369 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: two hundred and three years ago. I mean, they just 370 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: they just they've made up everything they've done so far, 371 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: so why not make up another week of worth of rules. 372 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: But also I saw where on social media and some 373 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: people suggested Ohio State in Texas A and M. And 374 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: I thought, well, if I'm Ohio State, why am I 375 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: giving Texas A and M a chance to maybe leap 376 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: from us if they would happen to beat US. Ohio 377 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: State's already in the final four, Texas A and M 378 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: is going to be on the outside looking in. Yeah, 379 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: I mean, other than the fact that we all yearn 380 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: for a quality football game this weekend, which we are 381 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: not in the We're not going to be filled with 382 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: that in terms of voracious appetites. There really isn't a reason. 383 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: It's for fun. Um, you know it's a play in game. 384 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,239 Speaker 1: But but you're absolutely right. Ohio State will probably be 385 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: in the playoffs as long as they have a game 386 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: next weekend and they'll either play Northwestern or Wisconsin or 387 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: or someone and at six and oh, they will pass Mustard. 388 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: I mean, if the committee didn't think they were worthy, 389 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: they wouldn't be number four, and that's where they are 390 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, how do you see this playing out? 391 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: I think we'll have a resolution today. Um. No, as 392 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: far as the playoffs, So your four teams do you 393 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: think will be? Who? Yeah, I'm still thinking of Michael 394 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: Boublay And when I saw that Steve Cornaki was on 395 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: before me, I'm kind of wanted to go run. So 396 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: here's the deal. I'd say it's Alabama. I think I 397 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: think Clemson will be Notre Dame. So Clemson gets in there. 398 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: I think Notre Dame will still get in there and 399 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: it will be Ohio State just just just like we 400 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: ordered it before the season. Can Florida beat Alabama? I 401 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: think it would take an extraordinary set of circumstances, and 402 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: I don't see that happening right now. Dan, Alabama looks 403 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: unbeatable to me. I mean the they are so potent 404 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: on offense, and the biggest change is on defense. After 405 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: the Old Miss game two months ago, they were ready 406 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: to fire the defensive coordinator. It looked like Saban was too, 407 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: and they have really short up and gotten extremely stingy. 408 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: And on top of that, it's just an embarrassment of riches. 409 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: On the offensive side. Alabama has three guys that you 410 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: could you can make a compelling case to win the 411 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:41,479 Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy in DeVante Smith, a wide receiver Naja Harris 412 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: who doesn't who might as well be in Missing Persons 413 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: right now, and the witness protection programs. You don't really 414 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: hear about him at all, and he's one of the 415 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: may be the best running back in the country. And 416 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: obviously Mac Jones, who is a co favorite with Kyle 417 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: trast to win the whole thing. You start to look 418 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: at this Alabama team and when was the evolution of 419 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: the offensive side of things for Nick Saban Because he 420 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: used to run the football and play great defense, but 421 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: then it felt like, hey, He looked around and said, 422 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: I kind of have to if I'm going to get 423 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: these skilled position players and they all want to go 424 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: to the NFL, and I'm going to compete with some 425 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: of these other outliers in the SEC or playing great offense. 426 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: Was there a moment where it changed for Nick Saban 427 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: and his philosophy. Yeah, it came really around twenty thirteen, 428 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. Nick Saban thought he could influence the College 429 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: Football Rules Committee and slow the slow the game down. 430 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: The hurry up was killing him. His defenses were not 431 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: prepared for it, and he lost a national championship that 432 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: year on the famous kick six play. And he decided, 433 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm I don't think I can beat this, 434 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: so I'm going to join and he hired Lane Kiffin. 435 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: There's no getting around Lane Kiffin was the reason Alabama 436 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: enter the modern era in offense, and Kiffen changed. He 437 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: helped him recruiting immensely. Kiffin played a huge role in 438 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: into a tongue of Blowa comming to Alabama and a 439 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: number of other players and then you know Kiffen from there, Uh, 440 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: you know Sark came in. Brian day Ball. By the way, 441 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: was it was in between, and he would not particularly 442 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: liked at Alabama, although he's now quite quite well respected 443 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL. And then Sark came back and just 444 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: finished the job that Lane Kiffin started. We're talking to 445 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: Paul Finbond from the Mother's Ship hosted the Paul Feinbond Show, 446 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: the Voice of the SEC. I know that, and I 447 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: was told this by a source because I said, why 448 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: don't we expand the playoffs this year? Given everything that's happened. 449 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: Athletic departments have been decimated. Now I get eight schools 450 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: in there. I get, you know, maybe five or six 451 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: teams that you're at least playing important games and maybe 452 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: getting a chance to get in there. But if why 453 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: would the SEC not be in favor of this? Because 454 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: I was told that I thought the SEC could get 455 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: in half of the eight teams in there. Paul, it's true. 456 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 1: But you know the men who run these college football 457 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: Power five conferences, Dan, I please, I hope you're sitting down. 458 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: I know you are their traditionalists and they do not 459 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: like to change. I mean, I think we're pretty lucky 460 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: we have four teams right now. The way these guys 461 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: operate things, and you're right about the SEC. But the 462 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: SEC still has a legitimate shot at getting two in. 463 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: They have three contending, they have one automatic and you 464 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: know they all see I mean, we watched last August, 465 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: as you know, the five Families of college football. The 466 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: Dons could not agree on anything. You had the three 467 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: conferences wanting to play, you had the two that didn't. 468 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: And that is the dysfunctionality of college football. The simple 469 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: things don't ever happen. And by the way, this was 470 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: definitely the year to do it. And you know, I 471 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: will you could direct the question to my bosses at Mothership. 472 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: They do have a say uh in this altogether. But 473 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: in the end, Dan, it should have happened, although I 474 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: will say the opposite, the underbelly of it is I'm 475 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: not sure how well it would have worked, because I 476 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: still think the next three to four weeks is going 477 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: to be a challenge to get these games in, especially 478 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 1: with a game the semifinal game slated for the Rose Bowl. 479 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: I mean, right now, can you go out of your 480 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: house in California, Yeah, you might have to relocate to Arizona. 481 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: The festival would be hosting the Rose Bowl as well. 482 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: Would you rather have Nick Saban on the show, or 483 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: Jim Harball. Jim Harball. Uh. And and I say that 484 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: only because I've I've done Saban. I mean, there's there's 485 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: Uh you've interviewed Nick Saban. I mean, and he's the 486 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: greatest coach of all time. But I know what he's 487 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: going to say, Jim Harball, I don't know. Um, you 488 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: know it's funny. Uh. You know. Harbor is just one 489 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: of the most complicated and interesting people in all of sports. 490 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: And not that he really says interesting things, but I 491 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: believe you may know him. I have the opportunity to 492 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: get together with him about two years ago, set up 493 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: by his brother in law, Tom Creane, and there were 494 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: some complications and it was my fault. I couldn't get 495 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: up there. I was in California working on something. And 496 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I missed it out because I really believe, 497 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: deep down he's a fascinating guy. He's just not a 498 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: particularly good college football coach right now. Yeah, because that's 499 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,479 Speaker 1: always weird if you're like, our job is not to 500 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: have preferential treatment, like yeah, you're supposed to see it 501 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: and then say it not factor in, Well, I do 502 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: like this guy, and you've been brutally honest about Jim 503 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: Harball not being a great coach or being overrated or 504 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to I'm paraphrasing here, but I've said 505 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: it all. How awkward would it be? Though? Like if 506 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: I said, Hey, Jim Harball would love to meet you, 507 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: and he's going to be in the area, he's gonna 508 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: be at the mother Ship and he wants to meet 509 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: with you at ESPN, I would do it in a second. 510 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: And by the way, you know, I'm I'm in my 511 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: sixties now, Dan, I've had a career of having awkward 512 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,479 Speaker 1: meetings with people that did not like me. It wouldn't 513 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: be the first time, so I there there's a there's 514 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: an art of the deal, so to speak. Not to 515 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: recreate a bestseller from from the eighties and nineties. But 516 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm always willing to meet anyone. And you guys like us. 517 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: We don't dislike people personally. It's just we say what 518 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: we believe. It's it's not personal. What's the most awkward 519 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: encounter you've had in this chair? Uh? Interesting that it 520 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: was Lane Kiffin. Um. I don't know how much time 521 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this quick story. I was on college 522 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: game day in twenty thirteen, before they played I think 523 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: it was Arizona, and I said, if if, if, if, 524 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: if USC can't win tonight, uh, lane Kiffin should be fired. 525 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: Well guess what. They didn't win, and he was fired. 526 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: And the next morning on a sports center pretty much 527 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: blamed me for the firing, and I said he was 528 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: the mileast Cyrus of college football, and I mean, I 529 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: got so. Two weeks later, I'm out in the University 530 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: of Washington doing game day and I find out a 531 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: couple of hours the night before that Lane Kiffin was 532 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: going to give his first interview. So I'm in the 533 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: I walk in the meeting and there's Lane Kiffin, and 534 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: I was a little bit cautious, so I just decided, 535 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: screw it, I'm gonna walk over to him. I didn't 536 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: know whether he was going to throw a punch, not 537 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: that I was overly concerned about getting punched out by 538 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, but I settled. We ended up a coming 539 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: fast friends. We started corresponding. He sent me a Miley 540 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: Cyrus song the next day and wait, wait, wait, just wait, 541 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: a Miley Cyrus song. Yeah, I see. I called him 542 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: to Miley Cyrus of college football coaches, so uh and 543 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: uh uh yeah, he showed me his personality, so I 544 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: mean after that, I'm really not afraid of anyone. But 545 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: I've talked to people that I've called for for their 546 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: fieries before, so it can be awkward even years later. 547 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: But you know it does. To quote the oldest cliche 548 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: in the business, come with a territory. Yeah, And there 549 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,479 Speaker 1: are times you say something and then you have no 550 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: idea why somebody's mad at you, or somebody will say, oh, 551 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: he heard what you said, and I'll be like, I 552 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: spent I have three hours a day, five days a week, 553 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: and I've been doing this for over thirty years. Chances 554 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: are somebody's going to be upset at something I said. 555 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: You're Jeff, You're never quite sure if they heard it 556 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: or somebody related to and usually when they relay it 557 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: to somebody, it's far worse than when they hear it 558 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: on their own. I've had people come at me from 559 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: twenty five years ago. It wasn't that long ago. A 560 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: coach that I wrote an article about when I was 561 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: a newspaper writer and he was fired. He started attacking 562 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: me at an event and I'm like going, I mean, buddy, 563 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: this is this is at least twenty five years in 564 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: the past. But you know to that person, and it's 565 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: really a lesson these things that they never leave you, 566 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: although some of them probably could use some psychiatric counseling. 567 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: Of all the fan bases, though, what's what's the one 568 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: that's maybe most sensitive or makes you a little nervous. Um. Well, 569 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: I saw most of my life in Alabama, so I 570 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: would never come after the Crimson Tide fans or Auburn. Uh. 571 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: I have had more problems, um with Michigan fans because 572 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: they just seem like they're everywhere. Uh and until recently, 573 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: I mean I've been two years ago, I was walking 574 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: down in Georgetown and a Michigan fans like came up 575 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: to me and wanted to accost me. Um. They they 576 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: are in another world because Danchigan Michigan. Even though they 577 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: haven't they won I think one and a half national 578 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: championships in fifty years. Uh, they still think they're a 579 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: leap So when you criticize Harball, and until recently, when 580 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: you when you criticize Hardball, they took it so personally, 581 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: and they still take it personally. But uh, you know, 582 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: they don't bother me as much. But but but They're 583 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: probably the most difficult fan base I have had to 584 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: deal with. These comments aren't going to help that situation. 585 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: The good news is I'm not traveling to Michigan. Yeah 586 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: anytime soon. Yeah, no reason to go there. Um Hey great, 587 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: great to talk to you, and thanks for joining us. 588 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: As always, Paul then, it's always a pleasure.

Didn't 601 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: Lendale White go to Tennessee? Does that sound right? Mclovin 602 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,919 Speaker 1: And uh, I don't know how long he lasted there, 603 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: but that was you had Reggie Bush and they had 604 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: Lendale White in the backfield. Yeah, mclovin. Do you remember 605 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: when they did that prank where Lendale White and Pete 606 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: Carroll got together and threw a dummy off the roof 607 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: when things were going so well? Does that ring a bell? Yeah? 608 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: Like they did this Reggie Bush, Lendale White. They were 609 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: so hot that Pete Carroll is running cranks in and 610 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: during practice. Do you remember it? Does that seem like 611 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: twenty years ago? You her coming back to that? Oh, 612 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're coming back anytime soon. And 613 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: you know, it's just what is the priority with the 614 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: school when it comes to football, and you feel like 615 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: it's changed because you had Pat Hayden in there. It 616 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: just feels like Lynn Swan it priorities to feel like 617 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: they changed at USC. It's all about recruiting. It's all 618 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: about keeping that talent in the city. There's so much 619 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: talent there. Getting a couple of those players from outside 620 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: California they want to come in. I mean, when you 621 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 1: think about it, you know, when's the last time somebody 622 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve got a recruit, and everybody else 623 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: around the country, it was like, how did we not 624 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: get them? Whether somebody from Texas or somebody from Ohio, 625 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: somebody from Florida. You know that's usually what happens, but 626 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: you know what used to be. Now. I watched the 627 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,919 Speaker 1: Washington game against Stanford. I've watched a couple of PACT 628 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: twelve games this year, and you just don't hear about 629 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: those marquee players, those marquee recruits there. And you know, 630 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: that's the problem I have with Michigan. You're in Michigan, 631 00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: you've recruited before in Ohio or Pennsylvania or wherever it 632 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 1: might be. Jim Harball will go and sleep in your 633 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: bedroom if you're a recruit that he's trying to get, 634 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 1: but you still can't find yourself a quarterback. And that's 635 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: what I find amazing at Michigan. Feels like there are 636 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: so many of these four or five star quarterbacks and 637 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: maybe they just get the wrong four or five star recruits, 638 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: but it feels like, why is it. Ohio State is 639 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: finding these quarterbacks who are first round draft picks and 640 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: Michigan somehow can't. Yeah, Paulli and the transfer portal doesn't 641 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: really help plays like Michigan. It bolsters Ohio State and 642 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: Georgia and Alabama again and Clemson. If I'm some guy 643 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: at Indiana who's a good quarterback for a couple of 644 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: years and you say, man, could I could play my 645 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 1: last year at Clemson or smaller school than Indiana, But 646 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: that transfer portals actually helped the big boys. We'll take 647 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,879 Speaker 1: a break last call for phone calls, what we learned, 648 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: what's in store tomorrow, all of that coming up next 649 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: year on The Dan Patrick Show.

NBA dress code. 663 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: I did not know that there was an NBA dress 664 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: code that now they're going to have a more relaxed 665 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: dress code for the head coaches. I thought it already 666 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: was a relaxed, you know, dress code for them. Am 667 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: I did I miss something here? It always felt like 668 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: that you could be a little more casual on this sideline, 669 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,760 Speaker 1: Gianna Pauli. It appears that until today or yesterday, coaches 670 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: had to start the game with a sport coade on 671 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: during pregame introductions and so forth. But they've, according to Rodronowski, 672 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: they've loosened the rules and you can wear like a 673 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 1: polo shirt and pants, but not like sweatpants or it's 674 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: more of like a business casual look these days. Yeah, 675 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: college has that, Yeah, Fritze. Is it going to get 676 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: to the point where the NBA coaches have to wear 677 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: some kind of sponsor or something on their jacket or 678 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: whatever they're wearing like the players do? Is I'm curious 679 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: if they're going to go in that to it. Well, 680 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:36,799 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna make them like the 681 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:41,359 Speaker 1: NFL coaches have to wear logo attire, like Belichick will 682 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 1: wear that hoodie and it's got a logo on it. 683 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: But I don't know if the NBA is going to 684 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: get to that. You know, they were more concerned with 685 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: the players and what the players were wearing during press conferences. 686 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: And I remember when it first came out and everybody goes, oh, 687 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 1: this is unfair. You know, they're they're singling Alan Alan 688 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:02,320 Speaker 1: Iverson and I had to tell people because David Stern 689 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: told me. He goes, this is about Steve Nash, and 690 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: I go, why don't he goes, Yeah, Steve, Steve dresses horribly, 691 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: and you know, our star players, and you know, do 692 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: I want to throw back jersey from Alan? No, you know, 693 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,839 Speaker 1: I want these guys to go in there and be presentable. 694 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 1: But he said, Steve Nash would have like a he 695 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: looked like he was out of Maybury. You know, he 696 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: didn't care what he looked like when he was in there. 697 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, these players realized, this 698 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 1: is a great opportunity that I can wear designers, I 699 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: can wear clothes, I can wear something that I can somehow, 700 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, turn into a business model. Here and that's 701 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: what's happened. You know, these guys go into these press 702 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: conferences and they get dressed up. But this was as 703 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: much about Steve Nash as it was Allen Iverson when 704 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,760 Speaker 1: they had the NBA dress code. This day in sports history, 705 00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 1: Paulie A couple the eight nineteen eighty four, Eric Dickerson 706 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: in the La Rams became the second pro football running 707 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: back to run for more than two thousand yards of 708 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: the season, breaking Oj Simpsons record of two thousand and 709 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: three in a nineteen eighty four Dan It's one of 710 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,399 Speaker 1: my favorites. Walter Payton of the Bears against the Green 711 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: Bay Packers ran six plays at quarterback. I'm sure every 712 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: all six and more touchdown. Thank you, thank you. Remember 713 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: when we had Eric Dickerson in when we were in 714 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and I said, look, I really appreciate you 715 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: coming in. And he said he had to get up 716 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,760 Speaker 1: at like five thirty to travel from where he lived 717 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: to join us in studio. And he said, you know, 718 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: I've got I've had so many injuries. There was a 719 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: time when I would have to sleep in a chair 720 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: because I was like a reclining chair. And he said, 721 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: I think it was at least two years where he 722 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,919 Speaker 1: had to sleep in a reclining chair because of all 723 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,479 Speaker 1: the injuries, all the damage that his body took over 724 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,800 Speaker 1: the years. You know, a lot of times we don't, 725 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: you know, they give us something and then we moved 726 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: on to somebody else. But they have to live with 727 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: what they gave us and how they gave it to us. 728 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 1: You know what kind of commitment they made. And Eric 729 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 1: Dickerson certainly did that. Judy and Florida joins us on 730 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:17,479 Speaker 1: the program.
