1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: College football season is here. Aren't you excited? This is 2 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: the most exciting time of the year. I mean, my 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: enjoyment is higher, the sky is bluer, the airs brighter. 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: I could not be any more excited. And PAC twelve 5 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: season is here. Arizona and Khalil Tate Amston didn't start 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: the season off well, but the conference is going to 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: have a great year. This is the most important season 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: Impact twelve history. You fans have to be on board. 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: Everybody needs to be a fanatic. Coaches, recruits, this is 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: about everything. We're playing for, all the marvels. We must 11 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: get in the college football playoffs, and we must win 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: the national championship. This is George Reiser with Ralph Amston, 13 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: and you're listening to the PAC twelve apostles. Ralph, Ralph, 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: I know that you've been dreading this. I know that 15 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: you started to say you gotta cold, you were feeling well. 16 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: You tried to duck out of the podcast today because 17 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: Khalil Tate, Amsden and and the Arizona wild Cats laid 18 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: an egg in Hawaii yesterday. It was absolutely awful. Forty 19 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: five to thirty eight. There there was Swiss cheese defense. 20 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: Ralph and Khalil Tate didn't do anything to help it out. 21 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: How are you going to defend this? I will call 22 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: First of all, I will say that I was looking 23 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: to see if there was any such thing as like 24 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: a podcast benefits where I could take a sick day, 25 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: maybe have a fill in or something like that. But 26 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: I I thought about it. I think I think there's 27 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: enough for me to come out and defend Khalil Tate 28 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: on some things here. But I mean, you're right, they 29 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: took a really bad loss yesterday. They took that loss. 30 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: As a team. I thought Khalil Tate did some things 31 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: really well. I thought that Khalil Tate did enough to 32 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: maybe take away that label that you've given him as 33 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: just an athlete and not a quarterback. I thought he 34 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: did some very quarterback things. But ultimately, there's no excuse 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: for the pac Twells continued just terrible performances against Mountain 36 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: West School. It was it was troubling to to see. 37 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: And Khalil Tate finished with a good stat line three 38 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one yards twenty two for thirty nine, 39 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: which isn't great, but for three touchdowns two interceptions. However, 40 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: both of those two interceptions were absolutely ugly, and one 41 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: of them was in the red zone, which when in 42 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: the third quarter when they needed a or the fourth 43 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: quarter when they needed a stop, I mean they needed 44 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: to get on the board, like that could have been 45 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: the play to change the game. And when you look 46 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: at Khalil's numbers, he had a game reminiscent of his 47 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: sophomore season. He rushed for a hundred and eight yards 48 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: as well, almost got in the end zone at the 49 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: end of the game. But a lot of his plays though, 50 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: like to the receivers, like some of where those breakout 51 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: of the pocket long throws, like he's got a big arm. 52 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: He's just not a good quarterback. He's supremely athletic. He 53 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: is you know, you know who he reminds me of. 54 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: He reminds me of Antoine randol Aiso, where he was 55 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: a quarterback in college at Indiana. Really good player, you know, 56 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: almost like a slash like a Cordell Stewart type, except 57 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: for he's just he would be much better in an 58 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: NFL player at a different position. Okay, I hear what 59 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: you're saying, and and and I did like what you said. 60 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: So a good quarterback, A good quarterback would be money 61 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: in the red zone. Right, we're saying that a good 62 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: quarterback would be money as a passer in the red zone. 63 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: And he did. He made a really bad throw. He 64 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: got picked off. It came at a critical time. But 65 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: you and I agree a good quarterback would be money 66 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: in the red zone. Correct. Not all the time, however, 67 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: did generate hold on? Well, how I just want to 68 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: be not that can career his career, he had seventeen 69 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: touchdowns no interceptions in the red zone going into a mistake. 70 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: See you're you're hanging on stats here, Ralph and the 71 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: reality because in reality, you and I both know when 72 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: you're watching film and you're judging red zone quarterbacks. Tim 73 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: Tebow was super efficient in the red zone too, because 74 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: they would run the ball so much down there that 75 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: the play action like the like the touchdown he threw 76 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: in the red zone, uh to the to the tight 77 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: end was off a hard play action fake. The corner 78 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: got to looking in the backfield and the tight end 79 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: was wide open. He gets a lot of those passes 80 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: because he is so dynamic and athletic with his legs, 81 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: like he is a weapon like that that I don't 82 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: want anybody to mistake that. However, I just don't understand 83 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: you're fawning in praise over Khalil as a quarterback. I 84 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 1: was talking to my wife about this and she was like, George, 85 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: like the kid he almost won won the game. He's athletic, 86 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: he made some good passes. I'm like, yes, he did. However, 87 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: I'm looking at pro potential, and when I look at 88 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in the Pack twelve, which which we will 89 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: rank soon, Khalil Tate is one of the He's in 90 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: the bottom third of quarterbacks in the Pack twelve, him, 91 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: Chase Garber's J T. Daniels. And I'm not gonna judge 92 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: Washington States quarterbacks because we didn't have no idea about them. 93 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: We haven't really seen them. I mean, like, those are 94 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: three of the worst quarterbacks in the Pack twelve. To me, 95 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: you can't. I love Chase Garvers, he's a good kid. 96 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: But you can't put Kalil Tate and Chase Garvers in 97 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: the same sentence. Name one of the J. Daniels in 98 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: that same one too, from USC. But but name one quarterback, 99 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: one single quarterback in the Pack twelve, who is even 100 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: physically capable of going for three fifty year one on 101 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: the ground, justin justin her name, one justin Herbert probably, 102 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: I mean, but he's probably the only one. He's never 103 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: he's probably the only one. But if you've never done 104 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: this is what I'm saying, Like last night, the stat 105 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: line is impressive. You can't ignore stats all together, and 106 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: look at what he's surrounded by. The three receivers that 107 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,559 Speaker 1: he had out there with him, two converted quarterbacks making 108 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: their first like starts as as freshman, and a former 109 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: walk on, with the offensive line that all graduated out 110 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: last year. An offensive coordinator who I don't know what 111 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: he was up to, but Caliltate accounted for eighty seven 112 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: per cent of their offense four sixty nine of their 113 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: of their without him on that team. Without him on 114 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: that team, they lose that game, which is which is 115 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: embarrassing in Hawaii has a good offense, but in reality 116 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: their their defensive Swiss cheese. This is not a game 117 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: a Pack twelve team should lose, even Oregon's they should 118 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: not lose this game. And and I am not setting 119 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: this game at the feet of Khalil take because he clearly, 120 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: you know, like he had a good game. He had 121 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: a game that was good enough to win. Arizona only 122 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: had two turnovers those were his two picks, and their 123 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: defense got six turnovers. When have you ever seen a 124 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: team lose a game that got four more turnovers and 125 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: then the other team didn't score off of your turnovers? 126 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: I mean it was that was a very new experience 127 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: that defied football math gravity. It defied it, like there's 128 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: that does not happen. If you win a turnover battle, 129 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: you win games. And that did not happen. And the 130 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: the person who I'm blaming this loss on, which is 131 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: the guy who was supposed to um, you know, bring 132 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: the program back, is Kevin Sumlin. And I do not 133 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: think it can be ignored at this point in time. 134 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: I think Kevin Kevin somethings oh and four in this 135 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: last no, if they think he's like, oh, I have 136 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: to check the five. No. No. And when you look 137 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: at Arizona play from last year when they struggled in 138 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: the preseason, well in the early season against Houston and 139 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: against everybody else, are you telling me that from then 140 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: to now that you think that Arizona is is the 141 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: arrow pointing up on Arizona. No. I mean, honestly, if 142 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: you remove just two players from this team caliltate on 143 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: offense and calling school or on defense. I don't know 144 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 1: if they win a game in Mountain West play much 145 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: less pass Oregon State then goes from being the worst 146 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: team in the conference to Arizona being the worst team 147 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: in the in the conference. And you know, we we 148 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: talked the last episode about coaching hot seats, and you 149 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: know when land Swan was asked about Clay Hilton how 150 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: many losses it would take. I'm sitting here looking at 151 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: um in Arizona and Kevin Sumlin, and I'm saying, if 152 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: if this is clearly a four win team, a three 153 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: or four win team after what we saw yesterday, and 154 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here saying, wow, if they win three or 155 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: four games, I don't know if Kevin Subtle survives this season. 156 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: I mean, am I am am I Overrea, I mean, 157 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: I don't. It's the fresh mindset of losing to a 158 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: Mountain West team, which which I want to point out 159 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: has happened way too much lately, whether it was a 160 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: SU getting worked in last year's Bowl by Fresno State, 161 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: losing to San Diego State on the road last year, 162 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: I mean, going all the way back to U C 163 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: L a losing to Wyoming in the Vegas Bowl, like 164 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: over a decade ago. It seems like every time these 165 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: teams run into each other. Where San Diego State beat 166 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: Stanford a couple of years ago, it's it's getting to 167 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: the point where where the if if the Mountain West 168 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: is probably close. They got close to five hundreds, right, 169 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I think, and you forget about in the 170 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: Mountain West Boise State. I don't want to talk about 171 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: Boise State because now there's not there's not a single 172 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: team in the Pac twelve right now that wouldn't be 173 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: biting their fingernails over having to face Boise State. And 174 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: it shouldn't be that way. It shouldn't be that way. Nobody, 175 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: nobody in the SEC, and nobody in the Big ten 176 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: is is fretting having to play a team like Memphis, 177 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: even though Memphis would give them a really really good game, 178 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: maybe even win. I think I think the psychology of 179 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: a Pack twelve fan is you go into these games 180 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 1: against like Hawaii expecting State was kind of looked at 181 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: as the anomaly because you know, they had played in 182 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: um in New Year's six games, they had beaten really 183 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: good teams, beating the Oregon. They had beaten who was 184 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: at Oklahoma or Alabama or two and you're just sitting 185 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: there like, okay, they're they're just different. And now you're 186 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: looking at You're like, Wow, maybe we shouldn't schedule these dudes, 187 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: because there's nothing to gain. There's nothing to gain, there's 188 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: only stuff to lose by playing Mountain West schools and 189 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: actually losing. And speaking of that, Ralph, that brings us 190 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: to the twelve today, the twelve where we ranked something 191 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: one to twelve, twelve to one, and today we are 192 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: because the season is starting. It is here. Even though 193 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: preseason rankings don't mean much. However, we love to experience 194 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: this and do this and go through the whole process 195 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: and see what we were right and see where we 196 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: were wrong. And today it is the Pack twelve, our rankings, 197 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: the preseason edition. We'll just pretend like because I had 198 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: mine done already. I posted it on un Afraid show 199 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: dot com. So this is without the news of Arizona 200 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: losing to Hawaii. I'm prefacing that this is without that news. Ralph. 201 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: Do you have your Pack twelve power rankings and I'm 202 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: interested to see how you had Arizona ranked. Honestly, I 203 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: tried my best to keep it to where I had 204 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: it before I watched that game, and I didn't have 205 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: Arizona very high in the first place. So not a 206 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: lot is going to change on my end, Okay, But 207 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: you want me to go ahead and start with like 208 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: go want me to do first? All? Right, here we go. 209 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with at the at the very 210 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: bottom in the Judas spot as we call it, at 211 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: number twelve, I've got Oregon State, uh, followed by U 212 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: c l A. Which I know you are you? I 213 00:12:54,080 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: think that you feel later? Hold it followed followed after 214 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: Arizona lost that game yesterday? Are would you say that 215 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: aras that U c l A will probably beat Arizona? 216 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: I would question who on U c l A's defense 217 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: can stop Alil Tate. I don't. I don't know if 218 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if Arizona is gonna be able to 219 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: get to stop. But here's what I'll say about Here's 220 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: what I say about Arizona. If they run the ball, 221 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: they probably have a chance. Even it's your ducks, George, 222 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: We're just a few months removed from Arizona beating Oregon 223 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: by thirty Khalil Tate had a game that I would 224 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: have criticized him four with only seventy passing yards and 225 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: three touchdowns. But when they gave it to J. J. 226 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: Taylor thirty times, they have a chance to win. So 227 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: maybe Arizona figures out that they need to run the 228 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: ball by them. That worst losses of all time I 229 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: do have. I I have Colorado at number nine, Washington 230 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: State coming in number eight, Cal at seven, and UH, 231 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: and then a s U rounding out the bottom half 232 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: of that list at number six. Wow, you're giving Colorado 233 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: a lot of respect. I have at number twelve at 234 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: Oregon State, even though that they're they're gonna be markedly 235 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: better with Jonathan Smith and his second season as the 236 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: head coach. They got their top passer, running back, wide receiver, 237 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: and top nine tacklers back from last season, So you 238 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: would you would think that they would be able to 239 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: improve when they're twin teen record from last year. Nope, 240 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: because they lost nine games by seventeen points and more 241 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: and they're not gonna be better. Um. I got Colorado 242 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: at number eleven, even though I should have Arizona at 243 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: number eleven or twelve at this this point, but I 244 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: had them number eleven coming into the season. Number ten 245 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: I got Arizona. Nothing needs to be said about the Ambasdon's. 246 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna call them the Ambasden's from now on. 247 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: I got number nine Arizona State. I have been here. 248 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: I talked to a couple of coaches in the Pack 249 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: twelve this year and well this week, and they love 250 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: the true freshman quarterback at Arizona State, Jaden Daniels. They 251 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: love him. They think that he's gonna be a star. 252 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: They think he's special and that he would start as 253 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: a true freshman at most places in the Pack twelve. 254 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: Number eight I got Washington State only because I have 255 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: no idea how their quarterback situation is gonna be. Number 256 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: seven I got to u c l A. Bruins. You 257 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: can call me crazy, but I got him picked to 258 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: win the Pack twelve South, even though Ralph has him 259 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: as a one win team, They're already gonna have one 260 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: win Week one against Cincinnati. And number six, I got 261 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: the cow Golden Bears. This is a team. Mark my words, 262 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: Pack twelve of pop listeners. Mark my words, Ralph Amsden. 263 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: If they get good play out of Chase Garber's at quarterback, 264 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: their defense is gonna be so damn good that this 265 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: is a team that can win. Not only beat Oregon, 266 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: beat Washington, beat Stanford, but this is a team, this 267 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: is the dark horse team to win the conference in 268 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. And it all depends on two things. Their 269 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: health and their quarterback play. That's my twelve to six Ralph. 270 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't disagree with you about Cal's potential. 271 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: They could They could really be the big upset here 272 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: in the conference if they were consistent and if honestly, 273 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: if we're being honest, if they get any play. You 274 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: know what, if they had Khalil Tate, I'd pick him 275 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: to win the conference because he'd be surrounded by talent, 276 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: and right now he's not. That's funny because I would 277 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: too if t were on Cow, just because of his 278 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: rent ability and his his threat, I would have him. 279 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: I would have Cal picked to win the conference as well. So, 280 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I I do like that. I think Arizona 281 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: State at nine is interesting to me because I did 282 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: see a couple of people yesterday. I think someone on 283 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: College Game Herb Street picked them to win the PAC 284 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: twelve South. I think that it's it's all sort of 285 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: a wild card on whether or not every single defense 286 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: decides to sell out for the run and whether this kid, 287 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels can beat anybody. So I think cal and 288 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: Arizona State are really the two wild cards for me 289 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: that could do anything. I mean, they won't be at 290 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: the bottom, because the bottom of the barrel in the 291 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: PAC twelve is a really really bad but I mean 292 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: I think I could see cal or A s U 293 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: as low as nine, are as high as two or three. 294 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,360 Speaker 1: So it really, um, I really don't have too much 295 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: of an issue with the bottom half of your list 296 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: because even though you think U c l A is 297 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: gonna win the PAC twelve South, you think that the 298 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: PACT twelve North is so much stronger that you don't 299 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: even have U c l A in your top six. 300 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: So you know, I think that I think that what 301 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,479 Speaker 1: you're you're saying iss U c l A would take 302 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: advantage of a very unstable pack twelves out this year. 303 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: That's exactly what what what I'm saying. I think that 304 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna that if they win to pack twelves out, 305 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: it'll be with nine wins max, maybe maybe eight wins. 306 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: That there's gonna be some crazy, stupid tiebreaker that they 307 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: end up getting in the conference championship, and whoever wins 308 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: the North, if they want a seat at the table 309 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: and the College Football Playoff is going to have to 310 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: blow the doors off them. I think I I for 311 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: my number five. I took a little bit of a 312 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: vacation from from projecting people's potential. Uh and I had 313 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 1: trouble with this one. I flipped a coin on on 314 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: my number five and number three. I went back and 315 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: forth a bunch. I flipped a coin and ultimately I 316 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: ended up with Stanford at number five. I think that 317 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: Stanford could be as high as three, and maybe deserves 318 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: to be three. Um, But based on what I saw 319 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: last year of what they look like when you take 320 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: the running game away, and even though kJ Costello was good, 321 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: and knowing that the coaches just hated every day having 322 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: to go out there and throw the ball, I had 323 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: them in my number five spot just because I still 324 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: think they're value very talented and I think that what 325 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: they do works. Um. But the pactful North is very 326 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: strong this year, and if they're stuck throwing again, then 327 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: they're not going to surprise anybody. And so you know, 328 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: if you can take two of those things away from 329 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 1: Stanford and make them struggle offensively and make their defense 330 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: have to keep them in games. I think that they're 331 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: going to have a couple of games this year where 332 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: maybe they get run off the field, so we'll see. 333 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: I don't see sta ever get run off the field 334 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: just because they don't. That doesn't happen. Like you can 335 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: almost pencil them in for nine or ten wins a year. 336 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: They some kind of way even when they're bad, Like 337 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: last year they found a way to win nine games inexplicably. 338 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it felt like they lost seven games last year, 339 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: but they only lost four. It was incredible. Um at 340 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: number five for me, I got the USC trojans uh. 341 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: I think that they have enough motivation to write the ship. 342 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, they had their first losing records since 343 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: two thousand and I think the only only the third 344 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: one since I have been alive, and they're planning for 345 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: Clay Helton's job. But the only thing is like I 346 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: think that that J. T. Daniels is a bottom third 347 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: quarterback in the pack twelve. I think he's been He's 348 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: easy to confuse. I don't think he's special, um you know, 349 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: but he should be okay, like his numbers are gonna 350 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: be okay because he's thrown to the best the second 351 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 1: best wide receiver corps in the nation. St Brown, Vons 352 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: and Pittman. That's just special. So that's why I got 353 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: USC at number five. But I could see them doing 354 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: anything from going undefeated and winning the Pack twelve all 355 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: the way down to a five and seven season like 356 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: they had this year. I don't think there's any bigger 357 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: range for any team in the Pack twelve than USC. 358 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: I think you're right on that on them having the range. 359 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: But I see so many people that have their minds 360 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: made up that this team is going to start one 361 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: and four. I mean, their minds are already made up 362 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: that they're gonna be one and four potentially oh and 363 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: five at the end of five weeks. And I think 364 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: that you and I are two of the only people 365 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 1: that I know of that look and say, yeah, this 366 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: actually this actually could be five and oh. I mean 367 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: probably not five and oh, maybe four and one. I 368 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: don't really see them winning in Seattle, if I'm being honest, 369 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: But having Utah at home and having Stanford at home, 370 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: explain to me why they couldn't win those games. They're 371 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: much more athletic, they'll have home field advantage. Uh and 372 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: and they've got they've got the talent to get it done. 373 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: If they believe in Clay Helton, then they're going to 374 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: be motivated. The worst thing that could happen for this 375 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: USC team is for them to come out and prove 376 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: everybody right by laying an egg against a very well 377 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: coached friend State team. I was just gonna say that, 378 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about that on the preview show 379 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: on the next podcast. But USC, you're gonna know everything 380 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: you need to know about them this season against Fresno State. 381 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: Jeff Tefford, who used to be at cow head coach 382 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: account and Oregon the Oregon office, the coordinator before that, 383 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: is a really good coach. He had them in the 384 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: top twenty five last year. This is going to be 385 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: a test where USC is going. You're gonna know everything 386 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: about USC and how their season is gonna go based 387 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: upon that game, because that is a game that they 388 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: can lose. Who do you have number four? Ralph? Well 389 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: before before that, so youre USC is my number four, 390 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: and before I I move on or ask for your 391 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: number four, I want to pose a really strange question 392 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: to you. Let's say that Tedford comes out and and 393 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: lays it on USC in Week one and then goes 394 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: on to have a second double digit win season in 395 00:22:54,320 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: a row, and Urban Meyer has no interest. I okay, 396 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: in any universe, is it possible that Jeff Tedford earns 397 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: his way back into the good graces of being a 398 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 1: packed Well, yes, because except for USC. I don't I 399 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: think that he would be USC's fourth or fifth choice 400 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: when he should be their first or second choice. Because 401 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 1: obviously I have talked about it that I believe that 402 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: Urban Meyers angling for this USC job. He likes being 403 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: in California. I totally believe that he will be USC's 404 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: next head football coach. If things don't go well this season, however, 405 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: Jeff Teffer, if he beats them and then continues to 406 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: take Fresno State to a top twenty five season, then 407 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: he's proven he could win at cal prooved he was 408 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: a really good officer coordinator at Oregon, and you know, 409 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 1: and USC, he should be on your shortlist. But you know, 410 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: at that point in time, they're gonna want a big name. 411 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: They're gonna want to try to land somebody huge, but 412 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: nobody is going to want that job despite it being 413 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: such a historically good job, because the coaches that come 414 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: in are gonna want to clean house, and the front 415 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: office and the people, the higher ups that USC do 416 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: not want that to happen. Yeah, I think that the 417 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: USC fans are probably freak outed us even suggesting the 418 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 1: possibility of this. But I mean, you look at what 419 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: he's doing with Fresno State, and you you look at 420 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: what's possible with Cal and and some of the things 421 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: that that he was able to accomplish, their winning five 422 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: bowls in a six year period. Um. You know, maybe 423 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: they were too hard on him, especially since they didn't 424 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: have the resources to keep Cal competitive. Um. But then again, 425 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: maybe he's just one of those guys that performs really 426 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: well at the level he's at and not necessarily when 427 00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: you when you level up. I tell you what, it 428 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: a bad look for USC to go out and lose 429 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: to him. That would be a awful I mean, that 430 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: couldn't get the season started on a worst note because 431 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: right after that, then they get Stanford, then b y 432 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: U at b y U, a game that they should win, 433 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: but it will be a little more difficult because they're 434 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: playing at b y U, then they got Utah and 435 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 1: then at Washington That could be a rough start to 436 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: the season. My number four team though, is Utah. I 437 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: know a lot of people aren't loving this. They're like, oh, 438 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: the media pick you taught to win the conference. Yeah 439 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: yeah yeah. But the reason why they picked them is 440 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: because their schedule is very favorable. They play at USC, 441 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: they play Washington State, so to make a long story short, 442 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: they avoid Stanford and they avoid Oregon this year. So 443 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: those are two what what me and Ralph have and 444 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: pretty much everybody two of the top five team is 445 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: in the conference and if you can avoid them, that 446 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: means that you can and you're one of those top 447 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: five teams too, that means you only have to play 448 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: two of the top five teams in the conference. So 449 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: that gives you a real advantage in terms of the 450 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: Pack twelve South, winning to Pack twelve South and getting 451 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: to the Pack twelve title game. So so Utah schedule, 452 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: not necessarily, their ability to be dominant is what has 453 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: caused people to pick them so many times and to 454 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 1: win the two to win the PAC twelve South and 455 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: potentially win the conference. One of my favorite things about 456 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: Utah schedule and I actually have. Utah is my number three, 457 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: so I jump right into it. Is that they start 458 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: off the year with their rivalry game. Colorado does it 459 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: every year? Be why you does it every year? It's 460 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: one of those things where you go out, I mean 461 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: you have to be prepared. It's not like you're study. 462 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: You know, they got North Illinois, Northern Illinois and Idaho 463 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: State after that. You know, those are the games that 464 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: you typically go in and you you look past them, right. Uh, 465 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: they can't do that. They have to come into the 466 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: season and they have to be ready to play right away. 467 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 1: And and they're playing at b y U and probos 468 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: pretty hostile environment, especially if you if you play for 469 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: the Utes. And so if they are able to go 470 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: in and get a road win at b y U, 471 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: that's going to give them some serious momentum. And then 472 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: all they have to worry about is staying healthy through 473 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: Northern Illinois and Idaho State. Uh. To then go into 474 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: a game against USC where I'm honestly not sure if 475 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: there's ever been a time that Utah has won at 476 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: the Colosseum, and then then they can go down and 477 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: try to make this their first time. I don't see 478 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,239 Speaker 1: it happening that way. I think that they'll probably go 479 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: in three and oh and that will be their first 480 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: that will be their first loss. But after that, I 481 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: don't know if I see I don't know if I 482 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: even see Utah losing again until they hit the road 483 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: at Washington. Um and and, So I mean that they're 484 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: really primed for a very good year. They really only 485 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: have two games on this schedule that scare me outside 486 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: out of the B y U game, um and, But 487 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: I think that they'd also be incredibly disappointed if they 488 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: want all the games they were supposed to win and 489 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: lost the games that people think they might lose. You 490 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: are completely overlooking this this cow game, which is which 491 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: should be scary for you, which should be scary for Utah. 492 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: My number three team, though, is the Stanford Cardinal. Was 493 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: a huge disappointment for him. They could have been eleven 494 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: and two. Their inability to run the ball with Heisman 495 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: Trophy candidate Bryce Love was surprising. But they did get 496 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 1: some good news. They found out that they got a 497 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback in k J. Costello. They found out that 498 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: they can throw the ball if need be, But the 499 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: problem is they don't have a running back, so they're 500 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: gonna have to throw the ball because Scarlett is not 501 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: the guy. Like he's not special at all, and that 502 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: is going to be a big problem for the Stanford 503 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: Cardinal this year. But they're still gonna is still Pilcon 504 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: the man for nine wins? Okay, I mean pencil them 505 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: in for nine wins? I is uh. I think that's fair. 506 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. Um. I'm gonna go in with 507 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: my number two and say that it's it's University of Oregon. 508 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: And when I look at their schedules, I got a 509 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: University of Oregon number two in the power to meet 510 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: champ state champs. You got to knock him off the mountain. 511 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: And so um, I look at that game against Auburn, 512 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: and you know, every single time that you come out 513 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: and say this is the most important year, um, in 514 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: Pact twelve history, sometimes I find myself questioning it, like 515 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: what is it? But I won't. I will give you 516 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: that it's definitely the most important week. It's because it's 517 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: I think it stops being the most important year in 518 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: Pact twelve history if they if Oregon comes out and 519 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: lays an egg against Auburn, I think that that knocks 520 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: the luster off of the entire year for the pact. Well, 521 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: there's just a bunch of pressure on this, No pressure 522 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: insure he just you just had the the entire fate 523 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: of the Pack twelve which could collapse between now in 524 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: four is uh could be could be waged just upon this, 525 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: except we do have a topic up next though that 526 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: may put a put a put a you know, an 527 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: asterisk next to that conference collapsing thing. My number two though, 528 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: the Washington Huskies they're defending, they're defending Pack twelve champs. 529 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: I'm not in love with Jacob ees and as much 530 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: as everybody else is, he's got to show me. He's 531 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: got to show me because he physically he looks the part. 532 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: He looks if you were to draw a quarterback up, 533 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: he would be you know, he would look just like 534 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: Jacob Eason, who looks a lot like Josh Allen from 535 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: the Bills, who played at Wyoming. Big strong, a book kid, 536 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: throw at a country mile, all of it. But is 537 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: he a great quarterback? And that's why I feel about Washington, 538 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: and that's why I have them in the number two spots. Okay, 539 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: and I and then I would I would come in 540 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: and I would say that I think that Jacob Eeson 541 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: is that I think I think that that he is 542 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: all that. Uh. I can't name another pro style true 543 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: freshman in SEC history that did what he did, which 544 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: was to come in throw for two hundred yards and 545 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: sixteen touchdowns without really being a running threat. In the 546 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: pack twelve is nothing if you throw for twenty four 547 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: hundred yards and the pack twelve year SEC is not 548 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: the but the SEC is not the pack twelve yards 549 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: in the SEC is a pack twelve hundred. We know 550 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: that because it's a different it's different offense. In in 551 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: Jacob Eason's freshman year, you know he and and again 552 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: true freshman year, he he only had like a pack 553 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: twelve type game where he went out and threw the 554 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: ball more than thirty five times twice three times, he 555 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,479 Speaker 1: threw fifty five times in a win at Missoo, he 556 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: threw thirty six times at Ole Miss, and then he 557 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: threw forty times in home loss to Vanderbilt, which is 558 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: a bad loss. But at the same time, you're talking 559 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: about a true freshman in the SEC, and this is 560 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,719 Speaker 1: not one quarterback he had a neat one of the 561 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: two of us is going to be known as the 562 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: quarterback whisper, and one of us is not because you 563 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: believe in Khalil Tate and Jacob Eason, and I'm taking 564 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and K J. Costello and you can have J. T. 565 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: Daniels I don't want. I don't want him either. I'll 566 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: take the kid from Arizona State on my on my 567 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: list two and we'll see, we'll see whose list sex 568 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: up better than the other. It's pretty obvious that if 569 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: you and I had a quarterback draft where we just 570 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: where we just picked, you know, snake style, like all right, 571 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: I get one, you get two, three, I get four 572 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: or five, and we went down, there wouldn't be a 573 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: single time where either you or I was like, dang, 574 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: we're on the opposite side of the defense on almost 575 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: every quarterback. I know the listeners of all the Pac 576 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: twelve Apostle people, all the Pack twelve apostles that they 577 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: are deciding with me on this one, and I got 578 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: number Oregon is my number one team in the preseason 579 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: for the Pac twelve. There can be zero excuses from 580 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: Mario Christo Baul in Oregon in twenty nineteen. They have 581 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: a bunch of receivers hurt Pittman's out, Who's probably who 582 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: have been playing like their best receiver all camp. But 583 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: they've got a first round quarterback, they got the best 584 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: offensive line in the nation, a solid defense. So this 585 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: Auburn game, there can be no excuses. You have to 586 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: show up for the entire conference. You have to. There's 587 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: no way around it. And their road schedule Stanford, Washington, USC, 588 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: and Arizona State is tough, but they avoid Utah with 589 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: the scheduled rotation, and those games are pretty spread out 590 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: throughout the season. And they only have four road games 591 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: the entire year, and they were bad on the road 592 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: last year. So the fact that they only have to 593 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: go on the road four times and one of them 594 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: is not Washington State or Utah, I like those odds. 595 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: Would you be upset if? I mean? I think that 596 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: on its face, nobody would. Nobody would tear their hair 597 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: out at the idea of Auburn as a brand and 598 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: as a college beating Oregon as a brand in the college. 599 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: The only time they've ever met nineteen Auburn when it's 600 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:49,280 Speaker 1: happened before. No, no, no, they met that they met twice. 601 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: They met in the beginning of the season. Uh. The 602 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: the Anthony Thomas his first season, and then they met 603 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,760 Speaker 1: in the National Championship with Am Newton. That's right, yeah, 604 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: where Dwire was down by the way Dwire was down, 605 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: But nobody would would say to themselves, oh, I can't 606 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: believe Oregon lost and that. But that's but that's on 607 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: face value. You and I both know that Auburn's coming 608 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: in with a true freshman quarterback who who didn't he 609 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a hell of an arm Gatorade 610 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: Player of the Year in the state of Alabama, right, 611 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: Alabama's Mr Football. But he's six, it's and and this 612 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: is gonna be his first ever test. I think that 613 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: Oregon fans who know better, you know, I think people 614 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: on the outside be like, oh, it's just another Auburn 615 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: win over Oregon. But I think Oregon fans who know 616 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: better in Pact twelve fans who listened to this podcast 617 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: would be piste off. If Box came into Austen and 618 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: got a win over Justin Herbert, who has been here 619 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: since the nineteam, it would be it would be discussed. 620 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 1: It would be disgusting. I mean, it would it would 621 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: be so far as to like that that fans should 622 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: be dejected at the future, at the future of the conference, 623 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: and then that leads us to our next topic of discussion, 624 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: which is Larry Scott. There have been rumors surfacing and 625 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: swirling around recently about Larry Scott and his job, and 626 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: I thought it was kind of odd. I mean, you know, 627 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: people have joked and talked about, oh yeah, like maybe 628 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: Larry Scott should get fired, maybe he needs to be replaced. 629 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: But then Jerry Palm from CBS and in an article 630 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: talked about some projections for the PAC twelve for this season, 631 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: and he said the PAC twelve will be looking for 632 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: a new commissioner to replace Larry Scott before the years out. 633 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,320 Speaker 1: This is Larry Scott, who just got a eased of 634 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,399 Speaker 1: what five four and four million dollars this year? Who 635 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: announced his who who announced his contract extension? Uh with 636 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: like an internal video conference where everybody who worked at 637 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: the PAC twelve thought they were going to announce a 638 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 1: direct TV partnership and instead it was Larry Scott to 639 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 1: say like, hey, I'm gonna be your boss for even longer. Dude. 640 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: That could not have gone over any worse. So do 641 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: you think that that there's any way that the PAC 642 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: twelve will be looking for a new commissioner before two 643 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: years out. So some people say where they're smoke, there's fire, 644 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: and I see all these breadcrumbs here and there. If 645 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 1: people laying the groundwork to say, maybe this is Ray 646 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:47,320 Speaker 1: Anderson's role in the future, Um, as somebody who you 647 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: know ran the you know nfl p A was an 648 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: agent as now Arizona State's athletic director. Um. And and 649 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: it maybe would give Larry Scott the ability to step 650 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: aside gracefully as him and Michael Crowe, uh, that president 651 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,359 Speaker 1: of A to you are really close. Um. And you know, 652 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,240 Speaker 1: I think we're getting kind of into conspiracy theory territory 653 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: because then you start to ignore the fact that like 654 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,800 Speaker 1: nobody that matters has come out and spoke out against 655 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: Larry Scott at all. Somebody's leaking stuff. I mean, so 656 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 1: you know that not everybody satisfied, UM, but nobody's really 657 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,919 Speaker 1: come out and and publicly spoke against him. He got 658 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: a contract extension. UM, maybe bought some goodwill by announcing 659 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: that there's not gonna be nine AM kickoffs this year. 660 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: Do you think that bought good good will? No way, dude, 661 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: I think there was a there was a lot of 662 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: fans that were very relieved that this was the layed 663 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,800 Speaker 1: a year. I think that he's got less to worry 664 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: about with the fans, because the fans have been wanting 665 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: him gone for a good year or two. It's just 666 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: the fact that that the school presidents seemed to be 667 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: upset and kind of tired of the status quo. And 668 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: I think that there are a lot of people who 669 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 1: keep hearing the oh that's four at five years at 670 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,919 Speaker 1: four and a half, almost five years away, Like why 671 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 1: are we talking? Like why are we think something magical 672 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: is going to happen between And I mean, what in 673 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 1: the in his tenure has led you to believe that 674 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: something magical is going to happen between then and now, 675 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: or that he is a magical pull a rabbit out 676 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 1: of the hat, do something absolutely terrific and special kind 677 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 1: of guy. Nothing. And I think that you've heard people 678 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: say if he was a plant from the SEC sent 679 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 1: here to screw everyding up, what would he have done 680 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: different Oh? What would he have done differently? Right? So 681 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: I've heard people say stuff like that. But the whole 682 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: thing is he's still here. All the evidence points to 683 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: the fact that he's had the job and hasn't done 684 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 1: a very good job. He's probably gonna continue to have 685 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: the job. You know, when when he led off the 686 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: pack twelve media day by saying that it wasn't a 687 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 1: big deal to go one and eight in Bowl games 688 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: because showing up at the Bowl was more important than 689 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: the result, I was like, man, this guy could literally 690 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 1: say he can literally say anything. I mean, it's that 691 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: you can't watch. They started their own TV network that 692 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: you can't watch, and then they put the games only 693 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: on that network. This it's everything has been so bad 694 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: for such a long time that like you would have 695 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 1: to tell like anything, the straw that breaks the camel's 696 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: back isn't gonna make sense to me because that back 697 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: should have been broken eight or nine times over. But 698 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 1: then it just doesn't make sense. And so if they 699 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,879 Speaker 1: have a transition, and it is a giant if, because 700 00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: I don't believe it's going to happen, But if they 701 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: have a transition, then maybe it's gonna be less of 702 00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: a kick the guy out and more of a they're 703 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: sort of laying the groundwork for a Ray Anderson transition 704 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 1: down the line type thing. Um, But yeah, I don't 705 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 1: believe a word of it, because if he was gonna go, 706 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: he'd be gone. I genuinely believe that. And there's nothing 707 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: less interesting to me than a fight between millionaires and billionaires, 708 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: which is basically like you talk about disinterested or you 709 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: talk about dissatisfied university presidents because they've got millions of 710 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: dollars coming in instead of the one billion with a 711 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,240 Speaker 1: b difference that there is going to be between now 712 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 1: and the end of the pack twelves contract as far 713 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: as what the big ten gets, and so you know 714 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,240 Speaker 1: that that those feuds don't interest me because you're asking 715 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: me to feel sorry for rich people, and I don't. 716 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 1: But at the same time, like the experience as a 717 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: fan has kind of sucked, and I would love it 718 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 1: for somebody who is more fans centric and more understands 719 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,760 Speaker 1: uh that that people still want the college football traditions 720 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,359 Speaker 1: of being able to go to the game, and if 721 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: they can't, sure would be nice to watch a damn 722 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 1: game on TV every once in a while without jumping 723 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: through hoops. And I think that that's what the average 724 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: fan is worried about. Every game should be on television, 725 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: every game should be accessible, getting it getting out of 726 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: these bad contracts. Like I'm a person I watch The 727 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,760 Speaker 1: Profit on CNBC with Marcus low Lemanus, and sometimes people 728 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: are in contracts. He's like, find a way out of 729 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: your contract. Find a way that makes sense for the 730 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 1: person who you're under the contract with and yourself the 731 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 1: way you can put yourself in a better position and 732 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: even put that person in a better position. And that's 733 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: what the PAC twelve needs to be trying to do. 734 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 1: And the biggest reason that that the PAC twelve is 735 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: has a problem at this point in time is a 736 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 1: because of visibility, which then turns into the second problem, 737 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: which had which goes into recruiting. And Ralph did an 738 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:42,839 Speaker 1: interview with Miller Moss, who is a quarterback. He's got 739 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: offers from Michigan cow Uh. He plays at Bishop Alamanni 740 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,399 Speaker 1: here in the San Fernardo Valley where I live at, 741 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 1: which is in but Bishop Allermani is in Mission Heels, 742 00:42:54,480 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: and he had some interesting comments about recruiting and about 743 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:05,280 Speaker 1: the Pack twelve, which led me to believe how recruits 744 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: really really see the Pack dwell here it is here. 745 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 1: So I'm part of a podcast called the Pack twelve Apostles, 746 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: and you're another one of these and a long line 747 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,240 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks who's got a lot of Pack twelve options, 748 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: a lot of SEC and other options. We see so 749 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,280 Speaker 1: many quarterbacks looking out to go to the best schools, 750 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: and a lot of the time it might not end 751 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: up being the Pack twelve. What are some of the 752 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,920 Speaker 1: things that you consider when you compare the different schools, 753 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: different regions, different conferences, right, I mean, I think the 754 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:30,879 Speaker 1: SEC is the best football in the count I don't 755 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,840 Speaker 1: think that's really a debate up for debate, But I 756 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 1: don't think that means necessarily that I will go to 757 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: the SEC. I mean, I have great options there. I'm 758 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: so grateful for that, but I think I need to 759 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: go to a place that's the best fit for me, 760 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,720 Speaker 1: not the best football necessarily, and that encompasses culture, education, 761 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: and football. So I mean that's not the discount SEC 762 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 1: or anything like that. I'm super great for all those 763 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: options and I'm keeping mom options open. But I think 764 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 1: there's more things to consider than a win loss record 765 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 1: in the school. But you don't think about the conference. 766 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: You just look at like the best culture, best fit 767 00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: for you, right, Um. I mean people try to kind 768 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,799 Speaker 1: of see how the depth charge is gonna shake out 769 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 1: but I think with a transfer quote on all that 770 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, it's too unpredictable. But I think you 771 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 1: really need to go to school where you're gonna enjoy 772 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 1: being in school, regardless of playing football. All right, Miller Moss, 773 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,879 Speaker 1: big win over HIT team. I appreciate your time. Thank 774 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 1: you for so. Ralph Miller Moss just told us that 775 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't believe that the best college football is played 776 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve, that he believes that it's in 777 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: the SEC. And then I told you I talked to 778 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: a Pac twelve coach this week, and he was saying 779 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 1: that he believes that sometimes recruits look at some of 780 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: these Pac twelve schools as a group of five offer 781 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 1: almost that it's a little above that. But I'm sitting 782 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,880 Speaker 1: there thinking like, wow, that sucks. The Pac twelve actually 783 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: had three teams, well sorry, the third most teams ranked 784 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: in the a P Top twenty five the preseason poll 785 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: with five teams, and that's one less in the SEC 786 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: and two less than the Big Ten. And I'm like, wow, 787 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: We're like Rodney Dangerfield at this point, no respect. I'll 788 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: say this because I think his quote opens up a 789 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 1: whole can of worms for me and I got a 790 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 1: million thoughts, but I'll just address it on its face. 791 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 1: First of all, it was really cool to watch this 792 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 1: kid play. He's good. I haven't seen a whole lot 793 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks like him. He's really solidly built. Uh you know, 794 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,919 Speaker 1: he kind of red. He reminds me of bout Knicks 795 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: a little bit, since we were just talking about bow knicks. 796 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 1: He reminds me of a guy that came out of 797 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,240 Speaker 1: out of Arizona a few years back named Tyler Brugman, 798 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 1: who had kind of a string of bad luck, committed 799 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 1: to Washington State, didn't like Mike Leach, so he transferred 800 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: to Louisville and when he got on campus, so did 801 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: a freshman Lamar Jackson. And then he finished up I think, 802 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: going to A Juco and then Montana and grad transferring 803 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,320 Speaker 1: to A and M. So this guy, this guy was everywhere, 804 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: And you never really know how things are gonna work 805 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 1: out for a quarterback, but you gotta like these guys 806 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: that you know, solidly built, six ft two guys, big 807 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 1: rocket arm the Matt Matt Stafford types, you know. Um, 808 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,479 Speaker 1: and so it was a pleasure to watch him play, 809 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 1: and it capped off an incredible weekend of me going 810 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 1: to three different high school games where I got to 811 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:09,720 Speaker 1: see six Division one prospects, including Michigan commit J D. Johnson, 812 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,720 Speaker 1: Louisville commit Chubba party. Um. I got to see University 813 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 1: of Arizona commit Will Plumber, and then I got to 814 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,279 Speaker 1: see the future in thy Thompson, who's got a bunch 815 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 1: of offers, and Ky Milner who's got a bunch of 816 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: offers as well. And then I also saw and talked 817 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,359 Speaker 1: to Miller Moss all these great quarterbacks out here, yet 818 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,840 Speaker 1: over half of them are leaving the Pack twelve recruiting footprint. 819 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: So I just straight up asked him, like, what's the 820 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 1: difference between the Pack twelve in the SEC? And he 821 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,360 Speaker 1: says not only does he say, I think the SEC 822 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,840 Speaker 1: is the best football in the country, he caps it 823 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 1: off by saying, I don't really think that's up for debate, 824 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: which that part of the sentence has to grade on you, George, 825 00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're just like wow. And I think that 826 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,879 Speaker 1: a lot of that has to do with optics. It's 827 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:58,360 Speaker 1: almost like pricing. When you look at pricing for clothes, 828 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: for goods, for shoes, or houses for anything. We generally 829 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,720 Speaker 1: in our minds think the most expensive thing and the 830 00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,320 Speaker 1: the most visible thing is the best thing, and it 831 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: doesn't necessary and so the the brand, the brand value 832 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,759 Speaker 1: of the Pack twelve, despite how many players are in 833 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 1: the NFL, how long they play, all of this, despite 834 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:27,879 Speaker 1: any of that, and despite the SEC consistently being overhyped, 835 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,760 Speaker 1: the fact that they are always on television, always talked about, 836 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 1: mainly talked about in the media. And that's why we 837 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: need you, guys to bring the Pack twelve up, bring 838 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,240 Speaker 1: elevate the conversation. Participate like in the new Pack twelve 839 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: sports subreddit, participate, participating your team subreddit, their Facebook groups, 840 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,280 Speaker 1: all of that. There's so many opportunities for YouTube, create 841 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,840 Speaker 1: a demand for yourself, created demand for your school. Do 842 00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 1: it for us, like this is our conference, this is 843 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: what we love, and we have to take the initiative 844 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 1: like the SEC schools have to have taken. It just 845 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 1: matters more to them, and so to that point, they 846 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,359 Speaker 1: are called the best football because it just matters more 847 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,080 Speaker 1: to them, And in reality, the best football is just 848 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 1: being played at Alabama and Clemson right now, the best football. 849 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,920 Speaker 1: In the preseason, the a SEC only had two teams 850 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 1: ranked in the top twenty five that means nobody thinks 851 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:31,799 Speaker 1: anybody is any good except for Clemson in Syracuse. That's it. 852 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: Yet the a CEC looked at it a way better 853 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,879 Speaker 1: conference than the Pac twelve. That's literally optics, that's all 854 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 1: that matters. And so then Miller Moss comes in and 855 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,759 Speaker 1: he says something else, and I think that this this 856 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,840 Speaker 1: speaks really really highly of his perspective, and I absolutely 857 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 1: love it. He's got a great option to the SEC, 858 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 1: but I need to go to a place that's the 859 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: best fit for me, not the best football necessarily, and 860 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,280 Speaker 1: something that has the culture of the education and the football. 861 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 1: He said, that doesn't discount the SEC, but it's even 862 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,280 Speaker 1: as options open, it doesn't mean the win loss record 863 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Um And he pointed out that people try 864 00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 1: to look at these depth charts, but with the transfer 865 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: portal nowadays, things are way too unpredictable. You have literally 866 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 1: no idea what's gonna happen. You don't know, and if 867 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 1: you don't know, then you better be picking a place 868 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 1: where you fit in. And honestly, a lot of these 869 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,879 Speaker 1: West Coast kids are are gonna be West Coast young 870 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 1: men and would fit in best in a West Coast 871 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 1: environment or a Pack twelve environments. So the transfer portal 872 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,880 Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong here, George, But I 873 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,880 Speaker 1: actually see the transfer portal opening up and causing so 874 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: much chaos as maybe causing a pendulum to shift back 875 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,920 Speaker 1: from quarterbacks looking for the best depth chart positioning two 876 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,280 Speaker 1: quarterbacks looking for the place where they fit in best 877 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 1: in case they get caught caught up in that chaos 878 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 1: and just want to have the best college experience possible. 879 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 1: One agree with you. So hopefully this is why this 880 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: season is so important for the Pack twelve. You've gotta 881 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,479 Speaker 1: win that way you can over try to overcome on 882 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:08,919 Speaker 1: some level this this perception nationally. Um. The next thing up, though, 883 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:13,680 Speaker 1: is another quarterback, Jacob Eason. UM. I had this question 884 00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:18,399 Speaker 1: because Chris Peterson named him starter at Washington, and you've 885 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 1: had a couple You've had three quarterbacks into the transfer 886 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:25,879 Speaker 1: portal at Washington. One went back to Washington. But now 887 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 1: you have Jacob, Jake Hayner and Colton Yankof who both 888 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,359 Speaker 1: left University of Washington after being there for a couple 889 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,840 Speaker 1: of seasons. And that led me to wonder and believe, 890 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: I'm like, hold up, was this not a real quarterback competition. 891 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: Was this just a he transferred in and now he's 892 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 1: gonna be our starter because we don't want because he 893 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:49,720 Speaker 1: sat out of year and we don't want to screw 894 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,879 Speaker 1: up his situation. And the real the reason why I 895 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:57,960 Speaker 1: bring this up is because this happened at Oregon when 896 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:03,279 Speaker 1: dakodea proke up transferred from I believe Montana to be 897 00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:08,840 Speaker 1: a grad transferred Oregon and Justin Herbert was on the roster. 898 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:13,239 Speaker 1: People knew that Justin Herbert was their best option in 899 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:17,120 Speaker 1: camp at quarterback, but he was a true freshman. He 900 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,920 Speaker 1: was from Eugenie, wasn't highly recruited, and they said, you 901 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: know what this is, uh the code of pro cup transferred. 902 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna give him first crack. So they lost a 903 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 1: couple of games in the beginning of the season because 904 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:33,359 Speaker 1: of that move. And you're looking at at Washington and 905 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 1: they may not have given everybody a fair shot. And 906 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,680 Speaker 1: if so, they're gonna pay. And I've already said with 907 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,319 Speaker 1: the Kolson yank off, there will be some karma that 908 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,879 Speaker 1: Chris Peterson never have to pay for not signing off 909 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: on their kids transfer when they should. I don't know 910 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 1: if I can buy in any of that. Just because 911 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 1: I saw jacobieson throw at the high school level, I 912 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 1: watched what he did as a freshman at Georgia, I 913 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:03,719 Speaker 1: think that he would maybe outside of Oregon. Maybe outside 914 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 1: of Oregon, I would I'd flip him for any starting 915 00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 1: quarterback in the entire Pack twelve. I think he'd instantly. 916 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 1: I think he'd instantly make every single team better. What 917 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:17,800 Speaker 1: he prototypical pro style quarterback who has touched on his passes, 918 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,480 Speaker 1: unlike the quarterback who is the near and dear to 919 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,680 Speaker 1: my heart, my favorite quarterback ever. Just because what he 920 00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 1: did from my mother's college, University of Wyoming, Josh Allen. 921 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,879 Speaker 1: You know, imagine if Josh Allen will also also knew 922 00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: how to throw, you know, uh, to put some touch 923 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,319 Speaker 1: on it, to change speeds. You know, He's like, he's 924 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,319 Speaker 1: like if you put if you put Greg Mannox and 925 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,359 Speaker 1: a roll this Chapman together as a pitcher, somebody who 926 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 1: could paint, and somebody who has the absolute gas. To me, 927 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 1: the fact that he can't run is a concern to me. 928 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,920 Speaker 1: But as a pro style quarterback, I don't think it 929 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:56,319 Speaker 1: gets better than Jacob Eason outside of the guy who 930 00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:01,600 Speaker 1: beat him out in Jake from all Right, I can 931 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:05,680 Speaker 1: I cannot wait. I cannot wait for you to eat 932 00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 1: these words. Ralph, you were going to be eating so 933 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: much quarterback crow this year in the fact twelve apostles, 934 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,360 Speaker 1: it is going to be insane. Next thing up, we 935 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 1: got Justin Flow. We're talking another recruit. He's out of 936 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 1: upland five star guy. If you guys have not seen it, 937 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,880 Speaker 1: we will put the link to it in the description 938 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 1: for this podcast. It was a video that went viral. 939 00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,960 Speaker 1: He was playing in a game this weekend. He picked 940 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,760 Speaker 1: that kid up on a tackle. He's a linebacker, picked 941 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:42,080 Speaker 1: the kid up, body slammed him and just I mean, 942 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,439 Speaker 1: he's fast, he's physical, he's strong. It is clear why 943 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:51,760 Speaker 1: he's a five star athlete. And guess what, Ralph, because honestly, 944 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 1: like two of the best linebacker recruits I've ever laid 945 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 1: eyes on in my life are Noah Seoul and Justin Flow, 946 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 1: and they could both end up at Oregon, which is 947 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,440 Speaker 1: incredibly scary for anybody else in the Pac twelve too. 948 00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,040 Speaker 1: At this point, if you're if you're a Pack twelve fan, 949 00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:12,120 Speaker 1: you're almost rooting for him to go elsewhere because he's 950 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 1: gonna make your life. Hell if he if he goes 951 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,760 Speaker 1: to the University of Borgan. He's a very very good player. 952 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 1: I've got a bunch of justic flow stories. Um, I'll 953 00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,279 Speaker 1: save those for another time. I will say he is 954 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: my favorite nickname ever, baby man. I love that. Uh 955 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: And and the coolest thing about him is he dropped 956 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 1: about thirty pounds from his junior to senior year just 957 00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,440 Speaker 1: so that he could be more fluid in coverage, just 958 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,760 Speaker 1: just to show that he could be a more complete athlete. 959 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:38,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he's already like the number two ranked player 960 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,040 Speaker 1: in the entire country. It's not like he needs to 961 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,680 Speaker 1: go out and do those things. But he's very, very driven. 962 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,879 Speaker 1: I was out in Atlanta with him about a month 963 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,120 Speaker 1: and a half ago, and they were doing this drill 964 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 1: where you basically just had to lay hands on the 965 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,439 Speaker 1: running back and they were down, but the running back 966 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,360 Speaker 1: had the ability to juke you, go around you and 967 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,640 Speaker 1: get past cones. But he got his foot caught in 968 00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,320 Speaker 1: the turf and he got juked and he missed. And 969 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:00,880 Speaker 1: it is one of the old reps he missed on 970 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,640 Speaker 1: in the entire camp. And I saw him kind of 971 00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,080 Speaker 1: beating himself up about thirty minutes later talking to himself 972 00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:08,600 Speaker 1: about the rep that he missed. And I walked up 973 00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 1: to and I was like, hey, I just want to 974 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,759 Speaker 1: let you know I saw you get your foot caught. 975 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: And he put his hand on my shoulder, looked me 976 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,200 Speaker 1: in the eyes, put his face close to mind, and 977 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 1: he said, no excuses and walked away. The dude. The 978 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,920 Speaker 1: dude left me there thinking about everything I've ever made 979 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:30,600 Speaker 1: an excuse for my entire life. Dude. And so he 980 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,319 Speaker 1: announced his top four. He announced his top four the 981 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:38,960 Speaker 1: other day on August three, and his top four because 982 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 1: so many of these crystal ball projections had him for it, 983 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,600 Speaker 1: had him at USC He's either going. He's top four 984 00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:50,880 Speaker 1: are Georgia, Clemson, Oregon, and Miami. I like that. I 985 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,920 Speaker 1: like the fact that the Ducks are in the Nipact 986 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 1: twelve school or in his top top four, even if 987 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,600 Speaker 1: it were you know, Washington or Stanford where wherever else. 988 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,759 Speaker 1: We need to keep ending big time recruits. And by we, 989 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,880 Speaker 1: I don't just mean Oregon, I mean the PAC twelve 990 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,480 Speaker 1: in general. We can't let these kids in our backyard. 991 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 1: I want to get out of the backyard. We want 992 00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:12,879 Speaker 1: them to want to stay in the yard. He's really 993 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,200 Speaker 1: the highest rated like multi position linebacker recruit on the 994 00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,719 Speaker 1: West Coast since fontest Perfect was a five star and 995 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 1: and and went to Arizona State. And they've got a 996 00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,920 Speaker 1: lot of similarities as players. It would be awesome to 997 00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:26,360 Speaker 1: see him out here. And I can tell you just 998 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 1: from from having an inside source on this, all four 999 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 1: teams in his top four are actual legitimate options for him. 1000 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,840 Speaker 1: There there's none in there that are just fillers or 1001 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 1: that were thrown in there to make it around. Even 1002 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:43,040 Speaker 1: top four, everybody's got a shot. I like that. I 1003 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,360 Speaker 1: like that. I'm excited about that. Um And now it 1004 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 1: is time for us to cast stones. It is time 1005 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,399 Speaker 1: for the cast stones segment of the Pack twelve apostles. 1006 00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:58,680 Speaker 1: And I was burning hot last night. I was burning hot. 1007 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 1: I even I was so hot that I was still 1008 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,880 Speaker 1: typing this morning. I did my good morning to everybody 1009 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:11,640 Speaker 1: except Doug Gottlie because everybody knows that Andrew Luck he 1010 00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 1: retired from the NFL one of the greatest Pack twelve 1011 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks of all time. And it's really almost like a 1012 00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:24,440 Speaker 1: football tragedy because he had so much talent, so much ability, 1013 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,320 Speaker 1: had a chance to be one of the greatest quarterbacks 1014 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 1: of all time. He loved the game. And you get 1015 00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:37,440 Speaker 1: Doug Gottlie tweeting out retiring because rehabbing is too hard 1016 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 1: is the most millennial thing ever. I was like, what 1017 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:47,240 Speaker 1: or maybe having your abdomen ripped your abdomen toor and 1018 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 1: playing with torn cartilage concussions, of having a shoulder injury, 1019 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 1: playing through it for two years, then having to sit 1020 00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,120 Speaker 1: out a year to rehab having a cab injury. Now 1021 00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,720 Speaker 1: at an ankle or achilles injury. As a player who 1022 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:04,840 Speaker 1: was heard a lot in the NFL, that's me, uh 1023 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:09,960 Speaker 1: seven years, four surgeries, just could never put it all 1024 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:14,439 Speaker 1: together because of injuries. It is there's a point where 1025 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 1: being hurt all the time and waking up and constant 1026 00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,320 Speaker 1: pain every day, it strips your love for the game. 1027 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,720 Speaker 1: It strips your ability to play as well as you 1028 00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,040 Speaker 1: want to. And then the most painful injury that you 1029 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:31,000 Speaker 1: can never have is what Andrew Luck is suffering right now, 1030 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:36,880 Speaker 1: which is the pain of unrealized potential. You know what 1031 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 1: you could be, you know what you could have done, 1032 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:44,480 Speaker 1: and and it does not happen. So I'm casting stones 1033 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 1: that godlieve, I'm casting stones at the Colts fans who 1034 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,680 Speaker 1: booed him as he was walking out of the stadium. 1035 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,240 Speaker 1: I'm casting stones at whoever leaked it to Adam Schefter 1036 00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,560 Speaker 1: prior to the game, because he was supposed to have 1037 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:02,320 Speaker 1: his press conference on Sunday, but he ended up having 1038 00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,320 Speaker 1: to do it after the game. So I'm casting stones 1039 00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,480 Speaker 1: at all of those turds in the stadium that booed. 1040 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,680 Speaker 1: I'm casting stones that the turd that told Adam Schefter. 1041 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm casting stones at Jim Ersay, who messed up his 1042 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:19,080 Speaker 1: career by not getting him an old line and even 1043 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:22,760 Speaker 1: letting him play hurt, cutting his career short. I'm casting 1044 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:28,000 Speaker 1: stones at at Doug Gottlieb and every single person who 1045 00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 1: doesn't even realize what it's like stand on the field 1046 00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,840 Speaker 1: for five minutes at an NFL game and see that 1047 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 1: car wreck and see if you aren't terrified at getting 1048 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,800 Speaker 1: hit by those guys running on the sideline. Okay, Ralph, 1049 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm I'm off my soapbox now. I think I'm gonna 1050 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,080 Speaker 1: pull a Dad move here. But I want to be mad. 1051 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:49,760 Speaker 1: I want to be mad right along with you. I 1052 00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:53,160 Speaker 1: want my blood to boil. But I'm I'm also just disappointed. 1053 00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 1: I mean I'm disappointed in in uh, the over emphasis 1054 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 1: on on what can you do for me that leads 1055 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:07,160 Speaker 1: to reactions like this about athletes making choices that are 1056 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,480 Speaker 1: the best choices for themselves, Because I mean, you want 1057 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:14,400 Speaker 1: to call a man weak for walking away from not 1058 01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,880 Speaker 1: just another sixty million in salary, but another hundred and 1059 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 1: fifty two million dollar contract. You've got quarterbacks plan until 1060 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:25,240 Speaker 1: they're forty. What would Andrew Luck's next contract have been. 1061 01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:28,800 Speaker 1: I don't even think we have the ability to comprehend. 1062 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:33,360 Speaker 1: You saw what Kirk Cousins got. Andrew Luck might be 1063 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,520 Speaker 1: the most talented quarterback I've ever a guy that could 1064 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 1: run a four five, A guy who has such a 1065 01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:44,760 Speaker 1: positive mindset and mentality, who has intelligence, who can make 1066 01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:48,120 Speaker 1: every single throw, who made four Pro Bowls right off 1067 01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,360 Speaker 1: the bat. I mean, this was a guy. This is 1068 01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:53,640 Speaker 1: a four year old tweet from me. Okay um, but 1069 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,360 Speaker 1: I pointed out that Andrew Luck at this point, by 1070 01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:01,000 Speaker 1: the end of the season, going or going into season, 1071 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:04,920 Speaker 1: he already had thirteen thousand passing yards, eighty six touchdowns, 1072 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,560 Speaker 1: and three playoff wins. And I compared that to the 1073 01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:12,160 Speaker 1: fact that the last ten quarterbacks ten that the Oakland 1074 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 1: Raiders had drafted, had a career total combined of eleven 1075 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 1: thousand yards, touchdowns, and zero playoff appearances, not wins, appearances, 1076 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:29,200 Speaker 1: that Andrew Luck was better five years ago than the 1077 01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 1: last ten quarterbacks that the Raiders as a franchise had 1078 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,040 Speaker 1: used a draft pick on. I I had. I have 1079 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:40,040 Speaker 1: tweets going back six years ago saying that Andrew Luck 1080 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:43,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady will will be the future Jordan Lebron debate. 1081 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,600 Speaker 1: I was such a believer in in Andrew Luck. But 1082 01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,000 Speaker 1: what it comes down to it you see a man 1083 01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 1: up on the podium crying because he knows that he 1084 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:57,960 Speaker 1: can't match the expectations that he had for himself and 1085 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,000 Speaker 1: that he's going to be taken away from his teammates, 1086 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:04,040 Speaker 1: but also knowing that it's the best decision for him 1087 01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:08,280 Speaker 1: and his health and his family. And you can't take 1088 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,960 Speaker 1: any of this money with you. We just watched billionaire 1089 01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,520 Speaker 1: uh Koke brother die. He goes back to the dust. 1090 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:16,760 Speaker 1: Where does all that billions? Good doesn't take it with him. 1091 01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,959 Speaker 1: There's no point in Andrew Luck having a quality life 1092 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 1: if he doesn't have quality of life. And so I 1093 01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:24,480 Speaker 1: look at something like that and I say, you know, 1094 01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:27,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't just I'm not a Colds fan, but now 1095 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:28,960 Speaker 1: I was an Andrew Luck fan, and I was a 1096 01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:31,160 Speaker 1: believer that he was going to be the next Dan Marino. 1097 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 1: And when I heard about his retirement, my first thought 1098 01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:36,720 Speaker 1: wasn't like, damn it, I have him in one of 1099 01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,600 Speaker 1: my fantasy leagues and I do. Uh. It wasn't like, 1100 01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,640 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, like I'm gonna look wrong for all 1101 01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:44,920 Speaker 1: this stuff I said, or I want him to be 1102 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,880 Speaker 1: good so that I look good. It was Wow, he 1103 01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 1: must have been in a lot of pain. That was 1104 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,000 Speaker 1: the first thought that went in. And how much I 1105 01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,280 Speaker 1: get upset because where did we lose humanity to where 1106 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,920 Speaker 1: that wouldn't be your first thought in those circumstances. And 1107 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,560 Speaker 1: what I've landed on is if there are football players 1108 01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,720 Speaker 1: out there who played in the NFL and who went 1109 01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:06,600 Speaker 1: through this, who want to come out and say that 1110 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,960 Speaker 1: they feel like he made the wrong decision or that 1111 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 1: the timing was off, or that they wouldn't have done 1112 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,120 Speaker 1: the same thing. I will listen to them, and I 1113 01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,800 Speaker 1: will give their opinion credence and value. But if it's 1114 01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:21,080 Speaker 1: somebody like me who couldn't walk for an entire week 1115 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,959 Speaker 1: because I got into bed at a bad angle because 1116 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,320 Speaker 1: I tried to jump over my dog about a month ago, 1117 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,080 Speaker 1: and who didn't go to the doctor because I was 1118 01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 1: afraid that they were going to give these shots in 1119 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 1: my heel that would have gotten me probably better three 1120 01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,400 Speaker 1: or four days earlier, but also would have hurt more 1121 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,760 Speaker 1: at the time that I got them. People like me 1122 01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 1: don't get to have a damn opinion on ship like this. 1123 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,920 Speaker 1: So I'm just disappointed that everybody feels like they have 1124 01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 1: the ability to weigh in on what's right and wrong 1125 01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,560 Speaker 1: on an issue that's not an issue of morality at all. 1126 01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 1: It's a man making a decision about his career and 1127 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:59,000 Speaker 1: his life. And and if you bought season tickets, who 1128 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:02,200 Speaker 1: cares still root for your team? You would be rooted 1129 01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,320 Speaker 1: for him when he was gone, root for root for 1130 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,040 Speaker 1: your team again, just like you did when he couldn't 1131 01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:14,919 Speaker 1: play two years ago. Ralph, I am clapping for you, sir. 1132 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 1: That is well said. That is absolutely awesome. It is 1133 01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:24,960 Speaker 1: spot on and correct. I it's his career, he can 1134 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's his career. It's his NFL career. But 1135 01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,800 Speaker 1: the professional sports is temporary, it's a job. It's not 1136 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,000 Speaker 1: a career. You can't do it for the rest of 1137 01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 1: your life. Andrew Luck is gonna go on to have 1138 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 1: a career with his Stanford degree now. And no matter 1139 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,920 Speaker 1: how great you become in the NFL, if you can't 1140 01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,640 Speaker 1: walk and have a quality of life with your kids 1141 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:49,520 Speaker 1: and spend your and spend the after taxes that he 1142 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:53,200 Speaker 1: potentially could have two million dollars that he could have made, 1143 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:57,720 Speaker 1: guess what it's worthless. Your health is the Your mental 1144 01:04:57,800 --> 01:05:01,400 Speaker 1: and physical health are the most important things to you 1145 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,800 Speaker 1: as a person. There's no amount of money that can 1146 01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:09,560 Speaker 1: buy that. And Andrew Luck made a courageous decision and 1147 01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,680 Speaker 1: I am all on board with that, do you guys? 1148 01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,200 Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us for the Pack two of Apostles. 1149 01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 1: We will be back.
