1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two.

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: On this Monday, Dan and the Dan Ete Dan Patrick

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Show come on in stay awhile feeling refreshed after battling

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: whatever I've battled over the last three weeks. I didn't

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: realize this, but Seton said, yeah, you would turn your

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: mic off and then you'd be coughing, so all we

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: would see is your mouth there. So I got to

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: see the show back, and the visual is not very good.

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: You would think that our director, the Eyes and Ears

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: Mario would spare the nation that look of me hacking

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: up a lung. But I'm better than ever now. Went

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: to the doctor's office, Uh not, the emergency room. Just

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 2: went in and I got to see the doctor, gave

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 2: me some meds and Rarren ready to go. Yes, Todd,

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: did you ever get.

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 3: An official diagnosis? Is it bronchitis? Just a really bad call?

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: Do they give it a name or anything?

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: I hold that it was strap and then it developed

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: into or kind of morphed into flu like stuff, and

21
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: he just said, you know, you're lucky to be alive. Yeah, yeah, warrior,

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: that's what they were saying. Man as I left. You know,

23
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: the doctors all got around and they were like, oh

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: my god, what a warrior hashtag.

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 4: Warrior kept the tonsils in And there's no no.

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, I still have my tonsils. But

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: see that's one of those things like you know, Freddie

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: Mercury didn't change his teeth because he thought that would

29
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: change the way he he sung. And uh, I don't

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: want I don't want to take my tonsils out because

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: it may affect my voice. So I mean, not on

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: the same level as Freddie Mercury. But Freddy never got

33
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,639
Speaker 2: his teeth fixed because he didn't want it to change

34
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: his voice.

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: Is there a tonsil vocal cord connection? That's a I'm

36
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: not aware of that.

37
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: But no, doctor, what is right there?

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 4: It's in the Sinner. Yeah, I never knew that.

39
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 5: That is.

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: I was going to get my tonsils ow when I

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: was a kid because I would always get strapped through

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: and I didn't think for a second, you know, I

43
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: was can affect my singing voice?

44
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: No, it was gonna be about me but no, no,

45
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: go ahead, go ahead. I was just curious, thank you. Yeah,

46
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: so I still have my tonsils there. I didn't want

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: to get them out.

48
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, according to WebMD. Inflamed tonsils can directly affect

49
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 6: your voice, both short term and long term, and it's

50
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 6: a byproduct or a side effect of removing your tonsils

51
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 6: can't affect your voice, usually short term, not long term.

52
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, all right, well.

53
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 7: Thank you.

54
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: It's got to hold up for at least two and

55
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: a half more years after that, it doesn't matter.

56
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 6: Get Tommy John, get like a Volunteerly get Tommy John

57
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 6: for the throat or something if they have it.

58
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: Tonsul John until John John. Okay, it's our too, best

59
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: and worst of the weekend. What you saw that you

60
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: liked you didn't like. Calendars, by the way, the only

61
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: place you can get them the tailgate portion of our

62
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: store dan Patrick dot com. We have non autograph calendars.

63
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: Now you gotta play shorter by December eighth so it

64
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: gets there in time for holidays. I don't want you

65
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: to say basically today that would be today, and Seaton

66
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: is reminding me today. Stat of the Day brought to

67
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: you by Padini America, the official trading cards of the

68
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show. We'll talk to the Notre Dame Athletic

69
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: director Pete Mvaqua. He'll join us and He's probably still

70
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: a little heated here as they didn't get in and

71
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: they decided to opt out of a bowl game. Rick

72
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: Neuheisel covers college football CBS. He'll stop by as well.

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: You got pro football tonight, Eagles at the Chargers. The

74
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: Eagles are favored by two and a half. I thought

75
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: it was a weekend of teams that lost, stealing the headlines.

76
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: The Colts, certainly with Daniel Jones, I don't think they're

77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: going to make the playoffs because Jacksonville's playing well. And

78
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: I look at the final month of the season and

79
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: you've got they're at the Seahawks, they host the Niners,

80
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: they host the Jags, they're at the Texans, and Riley Leonard,

81
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: former Notre Dame quarterback, is your starting quarterback now. And

82
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: even with Daniel Jones, they probably weren't going to make

83
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: the playoffs. You also had the Chiefs losing last night.

84
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: We had Chris Simms on Chris Simms last hour said

85
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: that he thought the Chiefs were done done. Here's Patrick

86
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: Mahomes on the Chiefs going forward on fourth down.

87
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 8: Country believes in us. We executed on that in that

88
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 8: same situation several times this season and they did a

89
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 8: good job of passing the crossers. I wish I got

90
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 8: like I said, I wish I got to Rashid a

91
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 8: little bit earlier, or if I could have bought a

92
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 8: little bit more time. In hindsight, probably hit try to

93
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 8: hit trap over the top of the defender. But I

94
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 8: mean he made a good play. They they made good

95
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 8: play today. But I'll never question the decision to go

96
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 8: for it because I believe in the offense and who

97
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 8: we are.

98
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think their chances are like sixteen percent something

99
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: like that. But you know that Texans defense is great.

100
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: I mean, we throw that word out Texans. Nobody's going

101
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: to want to face that defense.

102
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 9: Now.

103
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 2: If the offense and c. J. Stroud was back last night,

104
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: if they can prove twenty one points, that feels like

105
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: that's enough for that team to win. The Bengals lose,

106
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: the Bengals should have won. The Bengals against that Bill's

107
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: defense did whatever they wanted to do Burrow back to

108
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: back interceptions. The Buccaneers lost. I said this last week.

109
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: Usually the team that is the lesser of the two

110
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: usually wins these weird games in the NFC sound and

111
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: so I wasn't surprised when I tune in and the

112
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: Saints were winning and they ended up winning that game

113
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 2: against Tampa. It's just kind of crazy, and it's always

114
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: it feels like it's always been that way. The Ravens losing,

115
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: I thought to, you know, having control of the ball

116
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: two steps almost a third step called a touchdown, that

117
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: would be enough. But it wasn't. And here's John harball

118
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: on the Isaiah Likely touchdown wiped off the board.

119
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, the explanation was a third foot didn't get down

120
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 10: before the ball came out. That's what they said. I

121
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 10: think to play with. I think the Aaron Rodgers play.

122
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 10: I mean, just coming a rules here. It's not an

123
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 10: officiating issue. It comes from New York. But you know,

124
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 10: when you when you when you're making a catch, you

125
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 10: have to you have to you have to survive the ground.

126
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 10: You know, he didn't survive the ground. He's not he's

127
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 10: not down by contact. He was catching. He was catching

128
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 10: the ball on the way down with another person. So

129
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 10: you you got to make a catch there and survive

130
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 10: the ground. I don't know why it was the rule

131
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 10: of where it was on that one. So all those things, well,

132
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 10: I'm sure we'll they'll explain to us, but they had

133
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 10: plenty of time to look at and they're the ones

134
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 10: who are the experts on the rules.

135
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 4: So that's how it works.

136
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they called it a touchdown and then I thought, okay,

137
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: that's gonna be hard to overturn. At first, I thought, okay,

138
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: he's got control, and then it's two steps, and that

139
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: it is a football move because the football move is

140
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: to keep it away from the defender. That to me

141
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: was the football move. But you got the Steelers, they survive,

142
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: picking up the win, and you know, a much needed

143
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: win at that. The Dolphins are still kind of hanging

144
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: in there. You know, they didn't fire Mike McDaniel. They

145
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: won five of six. I know they beat the Jets.

146
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. You're still winning these games. I don't

147
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 2: know if it's enough for Mike McDaniel to keep his job,

148
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: but I do find it interesting to keep an eye

149
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: on the Browns Titans game was probably not on my

150
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: bingo card, as they like to say, but I was

151
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: certainly entertained by it because I wanted to see how

152
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: Cam Wore did against Miles Garrett, and I wanted to

153
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: see how Shador Sanders did and in a home game

154
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: against a lesser opponent or opponent that's maybe equal to

155
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: them and putting up good numbers. And he did, and

156
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: he played well. But you know the avalanche of people

157
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: and social media that you know they sending in an

158
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: email or a tweet about should or scent. What are

159
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: you going to say about Shaud or sending? I don't

160
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: have any There's no real opinion, it no negativity. I

161
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: just said, give him a chance to play. I told

162
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: you he'd start a game at some point this season. Good.

163
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what they have. You beat the Titans

164
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: at home, but there is progress. It feels like he

165
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: gives them more options. They're expanding the playbook from what

166
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: I'm told, and good it gives them a boost. It's exciting.

167
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: You still lost the game with a idiotic two point conversion,

168
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: So there's positives there now. Deshaun Watson's planning on coming

169
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: back next next year. I don't know if he ever

170
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: plays for them. And you got to have a top

171
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 2: five draft pick, are you going to take a quarterback?

172
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: Are you sold on Shadoor Sanders? And if they are good,

173
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: it's a good story, Yes.

174
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 6: Paulie, that coaching staff for the Browns should be embarrassed

175
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 6: how they finish that game.

176
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 9: That.

177
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 6: I mean, if there's a worst the coaching staff lost

178
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 6: that your quarterback justic you seven plays eighty yards, you

179
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 6: remove him from the field for your two point conversion,

180
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 6: and you do a direct snap to a rookie running

181
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 6: back on a complicated play. That's irresponsible.

182
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 2: Yep, all right, we didn't even do a poll question

183
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: for the first hour. At least I didn't acknowledge that.

184
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: Todd's here, Seaton, Marv, Paula, yours truly in the back room, guys,

185
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: all right, seton what kind of pole question or what

186
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 2: did you put up in the first hour? Yeah, we

187
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: got three of them up right now.

188
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 11: Notre dame, your options are got hosed, will change the playoffs?

189
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 11: Being petty or all of the above. Right now, it

190
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 11: is a tie between is being petty and all of

191
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 11: the above.

192
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 9: Yeah.

193
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: I wish they would have played in a bowl game,

194
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: but I understand why they didn't because they had nothing

195
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 2: to gain.

196
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 4: Here.

197
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 2: Let's say they blow out BYU and the Pop Tart Bowl.

198
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean anything, and I believe that game would

199
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: be on ABC. I think that's what I was told.

200
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 6: Long history of ABC and the pop tart powle.

201
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, yes, legendary, legendary tradition. But I get it,

202
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: But I wish they would have still played. Now, nobody

203
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: is upset that I was State in Kansas State aren't

204
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 2: playing in their bowl games either. They got fined five

205
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars each, I believe, But Notre Dame is

206
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: not in a conference, so Notre Dame decided we're not playing.

207
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: But you know, Iowa State loses their head coach and

208
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: maybe they decide. But once again, I would just ask

209
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: my players, do you guys want to play? Yes, Todd,

210
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: should Notre.

211
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: Dame care that this could come across as sow losers

212
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: and or afraid of the downside of losing to BYU.

213
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: Not that they're afraid of playing BYU, but those are

214
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: things that a lot of people feel.

215
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 4: Unless you're a big Notre Dames fan.

216
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 3: I think most people that are neutral think that they

217
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 3: look like they're taking the ball and going home and

218
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 3: they don't want any part of possibly losing to the Cougar.

219
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 2: Well, we'll talk find out in ten minutes when we

220
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: talk to their athletic director on making this decision. What

221
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 2: other pole questions did you have for the first time

222
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: re season?

223
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, I also got up there the Chiefs playoff chances

224
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 11: are dead on life support or alive.

225
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 2: And well, well you did predict your your wild prediction,

226
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: your hot prediction, your crazy prediction, the Chiefs would not

227
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,359
Speaker 2: make the playoffs. Closer and closer. Yes, it's pretty incredible.

228
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: Seton said the Chiefs would not make the playoffs June third.

229
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: I believe not that.

230
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 11: I'm okay, yeah, somewhere in that vicinity all what was

231
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 11: the other pole question that you had? We just put

232
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 11: this one up there right now. Worst loss this weekend Bucks, Chiefs, Colts, Ravens.

233
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 2: I'd say the Chiefs because Vegas had them as one

234
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: of the favorites to still win the Super Bowl and

235
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: now looks like they're done. Buccaneers can still win that division,

236
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: Ravens can still win that division. I think the Colts

237
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: losing and losing their quarterback and losing one of the

238
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 2: real good stories this year, I mean, that's a that's

239
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: a triple loss there, it feels like. But I would

240
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: say the Chiefs because bigger picture, the Chiefs out of

241
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: that group could still win the Super Bowl, or at

242
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: least they would be viewed as one of the favorites

243
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: if they were in the playoff picture.

244
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pauling and Daniel Jones is an unrestricted free agent.

245
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 6: A month ago, he was on the roll and would

246
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 6: probably got one of those mid levels Sam Darnold three years,

247
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 6: one hundred million dollar contracts going forward from the Colts

248
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 6: or other And now his career is completely in flux, completely.

249
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he's not going to be ready to go

250
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 2: next season. To start next season. You got the Anthony

251
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: Richardson situation. That's a mess. You got Riley Leonard as

252
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: your backup now starting quarterback there that was. That was

253
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: an expensive injury for Daniel Jones. I mean, that's the

254
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: business side of this. If he stays healthy, let's say

255
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 2: they do get into the playoffs, he's gonna get a

256
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollar deal because they don't want Anthony

257
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: Richardson as their starter, at least not now, and Daniel

258
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: Jones would have been the de facto Okay, all right,

259
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: he played pretty well, which he did, He started out

260
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: pretty well, but he's playing with a broken fibula now.

261
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if he should be out there with

262
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: a broken fibula. Of all my injuries and surgeries. I've

263
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: never had a broken fibula or torn achilles, and I

264
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: don't know if one can lead the other. But you

265
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: would think your quarterback out there with a broken fibula

266
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: should not be out there with a broken fibula and

267
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 2: then he blows out his achilles. But Riley Leonard is

268
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: now you're starting quarterback. Now you've got to get a

269
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: backup quarterback in there as well, and the schedules really

270
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: tough the final month of the season. Chris and Syracuse

271
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: Good Morning, Chris, Best and worst of the weekend.

272
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 12: Hey, thanks Dan, ye I got a best and a

273
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 12: couple of commis to threats him. My best to one

274
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 12: of the original dan Ciples in Dan Nation on the

275
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 12: Dan Patrick Show, Tillian Bloomington, who is a man Indiana

276
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 12: football fan. He has to be so excited with his Hoosiers,

277
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 12: who are kind of the poster child of the new

278
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 12: age at college football. No real dominant teams, just a

279
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 12: lot of very good teams.

280
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 5: And in the.

281
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 12: SEC Title game, Alabama had to cover ninety one yards

282
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 12: for their loan touchdown and Georgia had to only cover

283
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 12: one hundred and thirty yards combined. All four of their

284
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 12: touchdowns and Dan this year is one of the few

285
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 12: years that Notre Dame not being in the ACC conference

286
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 12: came back to bite him. It not only cost him

287
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 12: a berth in the playoffs, but with the ACC so

288
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 12: week this year, it probably cost him a home first

289
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 12: round playoff game. And I wonder if the committee leaving

290
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 12: Notre Dame out is their way of trying to force

291
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 12: him into a conference.

292
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: Uh okay, I got to find this out, and I'm

293
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: going to find it out in about five minutes. What

294
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: role did the ACC play in Notre Dame getting in

295
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: or not getting in? And find out next year on

00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: coach will join us coming up top of the hour.

313
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: Pete Bavaqua, Notre Dame athletic director. A couple of months ago,

314
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: I said, oh, I look forward to talking to you again.

315
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 2: I didn't know we would be talking about this. How

316
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: did we get here? Pete?

317
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 7: Dan, first of all, yeah, thanks thanks for having me on.

318
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 7: It's good to see you yet yesterday, that's the question.

319
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 7: I don't know how we got here. That's kind of

320
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 7: what we have a problem with. I don't have a

321
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 7: good answer for you, you know, and a lot of

322
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 7: conversations here on campus the last twenty four hours, as

323
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 7: you can imagine, and you know, I want to make

324
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 7: one thing clear, Dan, we have no problems with the

325
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 7: teams that made it in. They're all great teams. You know,

326
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 7: Miami's a great team, Alabama's a great team. If Texas Vanderbilt.

327
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 7: We're a great team. What we're so confused by and

328
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 7: frustrated with is the process. You know, every step along

329
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 7: the way, since the first CFP rankings came out, we

330
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 7: were led to believe we were in as long as

331
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 7: we took care of business, and we certainly took care

332
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 7: of business with this ten game winning streak. Then you

333
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 7: think about that first ranking. You know, we and Miami

334
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 7: were both six and two. They had obviously already beat

335
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 7: us the first game of the year. They were eighteenth,

336
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 7: We were tenth. You know, the only thing that we

337
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 7: did since that point was win every game by over

338
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 7: an average of over thirty points. And you know, all

339
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 7: of a sudden, we're eleventh and on the outside looking in.

340
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 7: And you know, when we sit and talk, when I

341
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 7: talked to Marcus, when when we talked to our team,

342
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,239
Speaker 7: we don't have any good answers for that. So we're

343
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 7: just we're just really frustrated that we had the rug

344
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 7: pulled out from underneath the stan.

345
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: Were you able to lobby at all Sunday morning, you know,

346
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 2: or had the decision been made that you were not

347
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: going to make the playoffs?

348
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know exactly when the decision was made.

349
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 7: You know, we you know, we made our case. We

350
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 7: stayed at our point of view. But again, if you're us,

351
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 7: we were told from day one of the rankings that

352
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 7: you know, we were in and we were ninth, and

353
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 7: then all of a sudden, you know, we go play

354
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 7: a game against Stanford. I felt like in the middle

355
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 7: of the night, you know, and we we we took

356
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 7: care of business, and Alabama has a really tough game

357
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 7: against a an Auburn team that's having a tough year.

358
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 7: And we wake up on Tuesday and we fall below

359
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 7: Alabama for the first time. And it was all about

360
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 7: the fierce conversation between Notre Dame and Alabama. And I

361
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 7: heard something to the effect that Alabama went forward on

362
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 7: fourth down, so that made an impression, and just our

363
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 7: heads were spinning, like where's the logic, where's the rationale?

364
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 7: Why are we being kind of punished and the only

365
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 7: ones that seemed to be moving in the wrong direction

366
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 7: and yet winning and having an unbelievably dominant end to

367
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 7: the season. It's just we're confused, we're sad, and damn

368
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 7: we're frustrated.

369
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 2: And I was told there's nothing that's secret in those meetings,

370
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: it eventually gets out, and I was told during last

371
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: week that it felt like where Alabama was ranked that

372
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. In the words of my source, you guys

373
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: were being set up for disappointment. So this is somebody

374
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: involved in this. And then all of a sudden the

375
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 2: Miami situation, which if they ranked Miami ahead of you, fine,

376
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: I don't have any problem with that. I just didn't

377
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: understand the rationale. And then I wondered, did the ACC

378
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: lobby at all? Did what role did the ACC play

379
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: in any of this? In your opinion?

380
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 7: Well, I would tell you, I mean again, I have

381
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 7: tremendous respect for Miami, you know, the great team, great school,

382
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 7: their athletic director, Dan Radakovich is a good friend, and

383
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 7: all the teams in the ACC, great wonderful universities. We

384
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 7: have no gripes about any of the schools in the ACC,

385
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 7: but we were mystified by the actions of the conference

386
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 7: to attack you know, their biggest really business partner in

387
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 7: football and a member of their conference in twenty four

388
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 7: of our other sports. And I would tell you, Dan,

389
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 7: I wouldn't be honest with you if I didn't say

390
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 7: that they have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship

391
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 7: between the conference and Notre Dame. What do you mean,

392
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 7: just we didn't appreciate the fact that we were singled

393
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 7: out repeatedly and compared to Miami, not by Miami. Miami

394
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 7: has every right to do that, but it raised a

395
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 7: lot of eyebrows here that the conference was taking shots

396
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 7: at us, and you know, that's just not something we

397
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 7: chose to do. We wouldn't choose to do that in

398
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 7: the future. People might disagree with us, but that's just

399
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 7: not something that we'd be comfortable with. And again, we

400
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 7: have no problem with any of these teams. These are

401
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 7: all great teams. You look at those teams, Miami, like

402
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 7: I said, great season, they beat us. You think about Alabama,

403
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 7: and nobody's had more success in college football over the

404
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 7: last decade than Alabama. But Dan, you know, I mean,

405
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 7: you follow the sport so closely. Everybody was saying that

406
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 7: we were one of a handful of teams that could

407
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 7: win this whole thing and that we have zero percent chance.

408
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 7: Even Nick Saban, you know, nobody knows more about college

409
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 7: football maybe in the history of the world than Nick Saban,

410
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 7: you know, and he said it yesterday, like, how is

411
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 7: Notre Dame, not in this. I mean, everybody's just kind

412
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 7: of confused and per played, and we don't have good

413
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 7: answers for the kids on our team, for our student athletes.

414
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 2: Are you going to reevaluate your relationship with the ACC

415
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 2: the overall relationship.

416
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 7: I would just say it's been strained, irreparable, Well you

417
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 7: never say irreparable. But it's opened our eyes and you know,

418
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 7: we we it caught our attention. But you know, we'll

419
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 7: we'll we'll move past this like we are, you know,

420
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 7: as you know, we're already focused on next season. Uh,

421
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 7: you know, we made the decision not to play in

422
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 7: a bowl game, as I know you're you're well aware,

423
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 7: and a lot of a lot of people have asked

424
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 7: me about that. And you know when Marcus, we watched

425
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 7: the presentation show, the selection show with the team, and

426
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 7: then Marcus, like he always does, was wonderful, got up

427
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 7: and for somebody that always has great answers, he was

428
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 7: brutally honest with the team and said he didn't have

429
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 7: a lot of answers. Doesn't understand how this happened, Why

430
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 7: this happened, Why a team that thought it was doing

431
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 7: what it needed to do all of a sudden kind

432
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 7: of woke up on kind of the wrong side of this.

433
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 7: And then just as you're kind of dealing with that,

434
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 7: you start getting these calls from other bowls. And you know,

435
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 7: the role of a captain on the Notre Dame football

436
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 7: team is a role that the program and Marcus takes

437
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 7: very very seriously. And he talked to all the captains,

438
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 7: you know, and said, hey, what are you guys thinking,

439
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 7: What's what does the team thinking. Let's talk about this,

440
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 7: and you know, to a person, the captains and some

441
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 7: of the other you know, underclassmen on the team said, listen,

442
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 7: we are such a close knit team. We've done so

443
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 7: much this season. We overcame those two opening losses, we rallied,

444
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 7: we dominated in the last ten games. We can't imagine

445
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 7: taking the field not as that team. And it's reality, Dan,

446
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 7: you know that certain players wouldn't participate in that game.

447
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 7: You think about some body with the future that he has,

448
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 7: like a Jeremiah Love, a Jadarian Price, Eli Rarid, and

449
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 7: you know Emil Wagner, who's one of the most impressive

450
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 7: people I've met in my life. Hopefully, after he's done

451
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 7: playing football, I hope he runs for president. One day,

452
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 7: it just wouldn't be the same, and you know, made

453
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 7: the decision that it was time to start thinking about

454
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 7: next season. Give these these student athletes a break. They

455
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 7: have exams coming up, and then you know, really hopefully

456
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 7: they they'll go home and spend Christmas in the holidays

457
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 7: with their family and friends.

458
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 2: Feels like a message being sent as well, Pete.

459
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 7: Well we're not happy, Dan, that's for sure.

460
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 2: Help me understand this though. So are you guaranteed of

461
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: playoff birth if you're twelve or higher next season?

462
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

463
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 7: I don't want to say too much about the memorandum

464
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 7: of understanding, but that's certainly been reported. That's out there,

465
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 7: and what you said is accurate.

466
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: It So next year, if you're ranked in the top twelve,

467
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 2: you're automatically in the playoffs. Correct, Okay, And everybody agreed that,

468
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 2: Like this was drawn up my Notre Dame, and then

469
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 2: the college Football Playoff Committee said we'll sign off on that.

470
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 7: Well, it was part of the negotiations as we were

471
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 7: contemplating the various changes that go into the committee and

472
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 7: in preparation for the extension of the ESPN deal.

473
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 2: Are we looking at a sixteen team field next season? Dan?

474
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 7: I go back to what I said when you were

475
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 7: here on campus for the USC game. I firmly believe

476
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 7: that the right answer is sixteen teams with five automatic

477
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 7: qualifiers and eleven at large. And maybe there's no perfect answers.

478
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 7: You know, think about this year, Dan, say we were

479
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 7: four teams, there wouldn't be any arguments. I mean, those

480
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 7: four teams. I think that's crystal clear. Those are the

481
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 7: right four teams. I don't think anybody would argue so

482
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 7: for twelve fourteen sixteen. I happened to think sixteen is

483
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 7: the answer. I think the majority of the vast and

484
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 7: overwhelming majority of the people in the college football management

485
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 7: committee room agree with me. I think anything beyond sixteen,

486
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 7: in my opinion, is a mistake because it would interfere

487
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 7: with the importance of the regular season and all. By

488
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 7: the way, did we feel that this year, right, but

489
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 7: that's important? Right?

490
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 4: Yeah?

491
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 7: You know, we knew we had two tough games played.

492
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 7: You know, well, we certainly got better over the course

493
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 7: of the season, but we lost the two great teams

494
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 7: by a total of four points. We felt we had

495
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 7: zero wiggle room. We felt we did what we needed

496
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 7: to do. It turns out we didn't have a chance, right,

497
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 7: and that's what's so disappointing. But I think sixteen teams

498
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 7: with the five and eleven format is the way to

499
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 7: go down.

500
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 2: Pete mcvauqua, Notre Dame Athletic Director joining us. But when

501
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: is this voted on? When is this decided or is

502
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: it already decided now?

503
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 7: It's been a series of conversations for the better part

504
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 7: of a year or more. As you saw, it was

505
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 7: reported that we have a bit of an extension from

506
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 7: when we need to inform ESPN of what the format

507
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 7: will be. We'll meet as a group over the National

508
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 7: Championship weekend. I'm not sure if anything's going to get

509
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 7: resolved as it relates to format in that room at

510
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 7: that time, but these conversations are ongoing. If I had

511
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 7: to guess what happens next year, I think there's a

512
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 7: good chance we stay at twelve. I hope we can

513
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 7: keep pushing for sixteen, but Dan, I just don't know

514
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 7: how that's going to end.

515
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: College football is at a crossroads, it feels like, but

516
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: it does take something to make change. So maybe what

517
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: happened here with Notre Dame brings about change, So it

518
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: could be a catalyst, do you see it that way?

519
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 7: Well, again, we're frustrated with the process, not the teams.

520
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 7: They're all great teams, and it's a bunch of team

521
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 7: BYU has a great argument. Texas, Vanderbilt, Miami, Alabama, Notre Dame.

522
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 7: We all have great arguments. It's the process that bothers us.

523
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: Ranking shows bother me, Pete, because well.

524
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 7: They bothered me too, because you know, if we said, well,

525
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 7: if we had assembled as a team on Sunday and

526
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 7: rankings hadn't told us for the previous weeks, we're in.

527
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 13: We're in, we're in.

528
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 7: Take care of business, take care of business, and hey,

529
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 7: you know what, Notre Dame, you're eleven, and now you're

530
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 7: going to get squeezed out because the conference tie ins

531
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 7: and Miami beat you, And hey, I get it. But

532
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 7: these ranking shows, as I said yesterday, like what's the

533
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 7: point why kind of send these signals and get the

534
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 7: hopes up of these of these teams, these coaches, these

535
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 7: kids on the team that believe they're doing everything necessary.

536
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 7: And then, like I said, it just felt in that

537
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 7: room a collective sense of the rug being taken out

538
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 7: from under us without any explanation. At that I've heard

539
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 7: Dan that has me feeling better about it.

540
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: Casual fan here's this and says it's sour grapes, Notre

541
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: Dame trying to be bigger than everybody more important.

542
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 7: You would say, what, Well, listen, everybody kind of wants

543
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 7: to do right by their team. We felt like we

544
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 7: did what we needed to do this season to earn

545
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 7: a spot in the college football playoffs. We feel that

546
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 7: we have one of the very best teams in the country.

547
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 7: I think the majority of people who follow this sport

548
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 7: so closely agreed. Every indication we had from that first

549
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 7: ranking suggested that that committee agreed with us. We were

550
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 7: always being compared to Alabama. We couldn't possibly have ended

551
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 7: the year any better than we did. I get why

552
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 7: people think it's sour grapes, but you know it's disappointment.

553
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 9: Dan.

554
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 7: I mean this is we take this seriously, as do

555
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 7: other universities, and you know, the rankings can't just be

556
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 7: musical chairs at some fifth grade birthday party. They have

557
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 7: to mean something, and to me, what happened to us

558
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 7: really kind of was alarming.

559
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: Just to get you on record, you're not anti pop tarts, right,

560
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: because you guys were reportedly going to the pop Tart

561
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: Bowl to play BYU Dan.

562
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 7: That the irony in that is I love pop tarts,

563
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 7: and I particularly love the brown sugar pop tarts. I

564
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 7: probably need too many of them now, I'm a huge

565
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 7: fan of pop tarts. That's nothing to do with pop tarts, Okay.

566
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 2: I just want to make sure we got that on record.

567
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 2: I would say, great to talk to you again, but

568
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: thanks for We appreciate you coming on and giving your

569
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: side of the thing. If the people watching on TV

570
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 2: behind you, what are all those numbers behind you?

571
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 7: So these behind me, these are actual bench seats from

572
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 7: Notre Dame Stadium. So when we did the extension and

573
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 7: the renovation and created crossroads here, there were some of

574
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 7: the original seats left over, so we created a wall

575
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 7: here with some of the original bench seats in Notre

576
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 7: Dame Stadium. So this is the back of my office

577
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 7: that you're looking at.

578
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 2: How old are those seats?

579
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 7: Probably some of them different ages but different panels, but

580
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 7: some of them are over a century old.

581
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: Thanks again, Pete, We appreciate your time now.

582
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me on DAN, and good to see

583
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 7: you and hope to see us out.

584
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 2: That's Pete Mavaqua he's the Notre Dame athletic director. Yeah,

585
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: I understand it. You just want to know what the

586
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: rules are. And I'm not a Notre Dame apologist. I'm

587
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 2: just saying, let's just look at common sense here, and

588
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: I'm not anti Miami. If Miami was ranked ahead of

589
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, fine, just you can't wait a month and

590
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: all of a sudden go you know, Miami should be

591
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 2: ranked ahead of Notre Dame put him there to begin with?

592
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: Was there something up with the ACC? I think there's

593
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: a whole lot more with that story, and Pete I

594
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: think would love to have talked about that, but you

595
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: could tell what the ACC did and did not do

596
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: is going to be there for a little while. But

597
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: he did say that rankings can't be musical chairs like

598
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 2: a fifth grade birthday party. And he's right. It's these

599
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: hey every Tuesday, the big reveal on the mother Ship.

600
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 2: It's great programming for them, but it puts the college

601
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: Football Playoff Committee in a tough situation because you got

602
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: to explain, Okay, what happened then, and why is it

603
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: different now, and why is it different in three or

604
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: four weeks from now? And was Notre Dame being set

605
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: up for disappointment. As my source said, this is last week.

606
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: They said this, and then you had the Miami situation.

607
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: But maybe it brings about change, But it didn't sound

608
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: like Pete thought that they were expanding to sixteen teams.

609
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: And I had been told that they were going to

610
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: first I was told they weren't, and then I was

611
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: told that they there's real strong momentum to have a

612
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: sixteen team playoff next year. And now Notre Dame is

613
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: guaranteed if they're ranked in the top twelve next year.

614
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: And we even said that after their first two losses.

615
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: I said, if they run the table, they're in two losses,

616
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: quality losses beginning of the year losses, and they'll make

617
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

618
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 3: Yes, Ton, it's very interesting saying how the relationship with

619
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 3: the AEC is strained. That'll be interesting to follow moving forward.

620
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 3: What's going to happen there.

621
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: And that covers a lot of sports here. That's not

622
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 2: just football, because they do have a partial schedule there

623
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,479
Speaker 2: with some ACC teams, but now you're talking about all

624
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,320

634
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,600

Speaker 2: of the weekend.

642
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 9: Good morning, mister pat Thick. Best of the weekend got

643
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 9: to be Indiana to me, you know, everybody's been kind

644
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 9: of like waiting for them to lose, just so they

645
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 9: could be like see see told you, I told you.

646
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 9: But great for them, for Nanum and those of the

647
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 9: Heisman winner. Can't wait to see that one play out.

648
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 9: Worst of the weekend. Look, you know, to me, it

649
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 9: was flat out just arrogance of Notre Shame to sit

650
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 9: there and be like, well we didn't get in until

651
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 9: we're not gonna go to Bunny Bull game.

652
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 5: You think Texas is sitting there right now, Texas and

653
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 5: probably could maybe be in there, has maybe a case

654
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 5: or whatever, and he's like, well, we should be in

655
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 5: there too, you know. I mean, like, dude, don't don't

656
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 5: schedule Syracuse blow them out knowingly seventy.

657
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,959
Speaker 13: To seven and be like, see, we're so good.

658
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 5: See we'd like we should be in there. No, dude,

659
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 5: it's arrogant. You guys, they played like a champion. How

660
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 5: about your show up and just.

661
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 2: Play the game, all right? Thank you, Gus, Michael and

662
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: Miami Hi, Mike.

663
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 13: Hey Dan six to three hundred. That was Miami getting in.

664
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 13: My worst honestly is Notre Dame getting out, and that's

665
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 13: because I thought the committee would have them play each

666
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 13: other again in the semi finals. With the ACC debacle

667
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 13: of how they did their rankings, is I think what

668
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 13: pushed Notre Dame outs.

669
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's there's another story to tell here,

670
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: and I think it has to do with the ACC

671
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: because the ACC was going to lobby hard for Miami

672
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 2: and maybe not lobby so hard for Notre Dame at

673
00:34:55,480 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: least from what I'm told and two sources on this,

674
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: so I've been trying to get information on it. The

675
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 2: Alabama placing is a little questionable. Prior to the College

676
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: Football Playoff Commedye reveal, Miami put him in front of

677
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. Nobody would have had a problem with that.

678
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: I wouldn't felt when you let them jump. Alabama is

679
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 2: non competitive in the SEC title game. Yes they got there,

680
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 2: but they were not competitive at all, and then you're

681
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 2: not dropping. I don't know it just it felt a

682
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 2: little nefarious there. Todd Best and worst of the weekend.

683
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: My best of the weekend.

684
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 3: They lost their football coach, but Ioway State basketball Saly

685
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: dominated Number one, produced eighty one fifty eight with the

686
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 3: help of eleven three pointers. Boiler Makers twenty three point loss,

687
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 3: largest non conference home loss by a number one team

688
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 3: in ap POLE history, tied for the largest.

689
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 4: Homeless ever by a number one team.

690
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 3: Wow worst Alabama getting shut out for the first three

691
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 3: quarters against Georgia the game by three touchdowns twenty eight seven.

692
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 3: The Dogs had one hundred and forty one total rushing yards.

693
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 3: Crimson tied negative three.

694
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: Seat and best and worst.

695
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 11: My best of the weekend is Mike Tomlin getting a

696
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 11: huge dove against the Ravens. I guess I'm not any

697
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 11: good at coaching. Why don't I just beat the Ravens.

698
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 2: Then?

699
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 11: My worst of the weekend Tampa Bay losing that was

700
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 11: an absolute must win. They've lost I think five of

701
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 11: the last seven or something like that. If there was

702
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 11: an NFL playoff selection committee, they would be on the

703
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 11: outside looking in.

704
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: Marvin Best and worst.

705
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 15: Best at the weekend Titans running back Tony Pollard twenty

706
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 15: five carries harness sixty one yards, two touchdowns.

707
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 4: Worst of the weekend the Commanders. What happened this season?

708
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 15: After making the NFC Championship game last year, they're now

709
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,439
Speaker 15: three and ten and they got shut out. Now harder

710
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 15: is for NFL two and to get shut out.

711
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: I'm watching the Broncos and the Raiders. I have this

712
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 2: bet with Todd. I had the Raiders with a better

713
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 2: record than the Broncos, so I got to get a

714
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: pie to the face.

715
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 4: I think they're eleven two and two and eleven right

716
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 4: now standing?

717
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 2: So can we call?

718
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 9: Now?

719
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 2: We can settle the bet? Now?

720
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 4: Probably, I don't see the Raiders catching up.

721
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 2: With four games, all right, maybe a double or nothing.

722
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to make it like a thirty game

723
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 4: schedule or something.

724
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: So you're down by ten, the line is seven and

725
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 2: a half, and the to end the game you kick

726
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 2: a field goal, and then all of a sudden you

727
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 2: lose by seven when the line is seven and a half.

728
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 2: What team goes for a field goal at the end

729
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: of the game when you know that you need ten

730
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: points so you're gonna get You're not even going for

731
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 2: a touchdown? Oh gues Todd.

732
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 3: The only thing I thought of was that they were

733
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 3: hoping the kick would take less than five seconds, and

734
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 3: then they cut it to seven and an on side

735
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 3: kick with one second left that somehow they pick up

736
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 3: and run in for a touch on something.

737
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 4: Crazier things have happened, I guess.

738
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 2: I guess technically, but you can't advance an onside.

739
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 3: Can't so I don't even know. So would there be

740
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 3: time for one play if they got it?

741
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 2: Probably not, I don't think so. But once again, I

742
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 2: do watch the lines as a former gambler, and I'm

743
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: always curious, like, whenever there's a last second, you know,

744
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 2: play one way or another, I go, how did that

745
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 2: affect this spread? And most times it does? PAULI Best

746
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 2: and worst of the weekend.

747
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 6: I got two bests, as obvious as it is. The

748
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 6: Indiana Hoosiers beating Ohio State and doing it with defense.

749
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 6: They held them the fifty eight yards rushing two point

750
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 6: two a Carrie if you're from Earth, Indiana being the

751
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 6: number one football team in the country is one of

752
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 6: the wildest stories of my lifetime. Unbelievable and then one

753
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 6: that went under the radar a little bit. This weekend

754
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 6: FCS playoffs, Illinois State Redbirds take down North Dakota State,

755
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 6: previously undefeated, twenty nine to twenty eight in a fantastic game.

756
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 6: Huge day for Illinois State.

757
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 2: I think Illinois State was a twenty two to twenty

758
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: three point underdog in that game. Rich and Pittsburgh, Hey Rich,

759
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: thanks for holding What's on your mind.

760
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 16: Was the whole thing for the ACC. The Notre Dame

761
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 16: Miami was created by the ACC. Why was Duke playing

762
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 16: Virginia and not the best second best team? Miami planed Virginia,

763
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 16: then Miami and Virginia, who over won, went right into

764
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 16: the tournament.

765
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 2: Well, there's some kind of like five team tiebreaker that

766
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 2: Duke somehow won. I yeah, I'm with you on that.

767
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 2: I would hope that you had a better ACC title game,

768
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 2: but then Duke ends up winning. Yes he did. Sounded

769
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 2: like Jim Beahon checking in there. Oh well, Jim's not

770
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 2: doing anything now, Aaron and fort Wayne? Hi, Aeron, went's

771
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,680

Speaker 13: By hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call.

773
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 2: That's the worst of the weekend.

774
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 5: Uh, definitely my Hoosiers taken down.
