WEBVTT - Hour 2 – NFL Week 14, Pete Bevacqua

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio Hour two.

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 2>On this Monday, Dan and the Dan Ete Dan Patrick

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Show come on in stay awhile feeling refreshed after battling

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 2>whatever I've battled over the last three weeks. I didn't

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 2>realize this, but Seton said, yeah, you would turn your

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 2>mic off and then you'd be coughing, so all we

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 2>would see is your mouth there. So I got to

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 2>see the show back, and the visual is not very good.

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 2>You would think that our director, the Eyes and Ears

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Mario would spare the nation that look of me hacking

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 2>up a lung. But I'm better than ever now. Went

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 2>to the doctor's office, Uh not, the emergency room. Just

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:46.959
<v Speaker 2>went in and I got to see the doctor, gave

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>me some meds and Rarren ready to go. Yes, Todd,

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>did you ever get.

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 3>An official diagnosis? Is it bronchitis? Just a really bad call?

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Do they give it a name or anything?

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I hold that it was strap and then it developed

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>into or kind of morphed into flu like stuff, and

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>he just said, you know, you're lucky to be alive. Yeah, yeah, warrior,

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 2>that's what they were saying. Man as I left. You know,

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 2>the doctors all got around and they were like, oh

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 2>my god, what a warrior hashtag.

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 4>Warrior kept the tonsils in And there's no no.

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I thought, you know, I still have my tonsils. But

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>see that's one of those things like you know, Freddie

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Mercury didn't change his teeth because he thought that would

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 2>change the way he he sung. And uh, I don't

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>want I don't want to take my tonsils out because

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>it may affect my voice. So I mean, not on

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 2>the same level as Freddie Mercury. But Freddy never got

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.639
<v Speaker 2>his teeth fixed because he didn't want it to change

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 2>his voice.

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 4>Is there a tonsil vocal cord connection? That's a I'm

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 4>not aware of that.

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 2>But no, doctor, what is right there?

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 4>It's in the Sinner. Yeah, I never knew that.

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 5>That is.

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 3>I was going to get my tonsils ow when I

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 3>was a kid because I would always get strapped through

0:01:58.400 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 3>and I didn't think for a second, you know, I

0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 3>was can affect my singing voice?

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 2>No, it was gonna be about me but no, no,

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>go ahead, go ahead. I was just curious, thank you. Yeah,

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>so I still have my tonsils there. I didn't want

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>to get them out.

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 6>Yes, yeah, according to WebMD. Inflamed tonsils can directly affect

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 6>your voice, both short term and long term, and it's

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.079
<v Speaker 6>a byproduct or a side effect of removing your tonsils

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 6>can't affect your voice, usually short term, not long term.

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thank you, all right, well.

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 7>Thank you.

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 2>It's got to hold up for at least two and

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>a half more years after that, it doesn't matter.

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 6>Get Tommy John, get like a Volunteerly get Tommy John

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 6>for the throat or something if they have it.

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Tonsul John until John John. Okay, it's our too, best

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 2>and worst of the weekend. What you saw that you

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 2>liked you didn't like. Calendars, by the way, the only

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 2>place you can get them the tailgate portion of our

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 2>store dan Patrick dot com. We have non autograph calendars.

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Now you gotta play shorter by December eighth so it

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>gets there in time for holidays. I don't want you

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 2>to say basically today that would be today, and Seaton

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>is reminding me today. Stat of the Day brought to

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 2>you by Padini America, the official trading cards of the

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Dan Patrick Show. We'll talk to the Notre Dame Athletic

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 2>director Pete Mvaqua. He'll join us and He's probably still

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>a little heated here as they didn't get in and

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 2>they decided to opt out of a bowl game. Rick

0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Neuheisel covers college football CBS. He'll stop by as well.

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 2>You got pro football tonight, Eagles at the Chargers. The

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Eagles are favored by two and a half. I thought

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 2>it was a weekend of teams that lost, stealing the headlines.

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>The Colts, certainly with Daniel Jones, I don't think they're

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 2>going to make the playoffs because Jacksonville's playing well. And

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I look at the final month of the season and

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 2>you've got they're at the Seahawks, they host the Niners,

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>they host the Jags, they're at the Texans, and Riley Leonard,

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>former Notre Dame quarterback, is your starting quarterback now. And

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>even with Daniel Jones, they probably weren't going to make

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.119
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. You also had the Chiefs losing last night.

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 2>We had Chris Simms on Chris Simms last hour said

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>that he thought the Chiefs were done done. Here's Patrick

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes on the Chiefs going forward on fourth down.

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.359
<v Speaker 8>Country believes in us. We executed on that in that

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 8>same situation several times this season and they did a

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 8>good job of passing the crossers. I wish I got

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 8>like I said, I wish I got to Rashid a

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 8>little bit earlier, or if I could have bought a

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 8>little bit more time. In hindsight, probably hit try to

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 8>hit trap over the top of the defender. But I

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 8>mean he made a good play. They they made good

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 8>play today. But I'll never question the decision to go

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 8>for it because I believe in the offense and who

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 8>we are.

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think their chances are like sixteen percent something

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 2>like that. But you know that Texans defense is great.

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we throw that word out Texans. Nobody's going

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 2>to want to face that defense.

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:55.720
<v Speaker 9>Now.

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.479
<v Speaker 2>If the offense and c. J. Stroud was back last night,

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 2>if they can prove twenty one points, that feels like

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 2>that's enough for that team to win. The Bengals lose,

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals should have won. The Bengals against that Bill's

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 2>defense did whatever they wanted to do Burrow back to

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 2>back interceptions. The Buccaneers lost. I said this last week.

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Usually the team that is the lesser of the two

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.159
<v Speaker 2>usually wins these weird games in the NFC sound and

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.039
<v Speaker 2>so I wasn't surprised when I tune in and the

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Saints were winning and they ended up winning that game

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.359
<v Speaker 2>against Tampa. It's just kind of crazy, and it's always

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 2>it feels like it's always been that way. The Ravens losing,

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought to, you know, having control of the ball

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>two steps almost a third step called a touchdown, that

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 2>would be enough. But it wasn't. And here's John harball

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 2>on the Isaiah Likely touchdown wiped off the board.

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, the explanation was a third foot didn't get down

0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.159
<v Speaker 10>before the ball came out. That's what they said. I

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 10>think to play with. I think the Aaron Rodgers play.

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 10>I mean, just coming a rules here. It's not an

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 10>officiating issue. It comes from New York. But you know,

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 10>when you when you when you're making a catch, you

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 10>have to you have to you have to survive the ground.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 10>You know, he didn't survive the ground. He's not he's

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 10>not down by contact. He was catching. He was catching

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 10>the ball on the way down with another person. So

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 10>you you got to make a catch there and survive

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 10>the ground. I don't know why it was the rule

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 10>of where it was on that one. So all those things, well,

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 10>I'm sure we'll they'll explain to us, but they had

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:27.400
<v Speaker 10>plenty of time to look at and they're the ones

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 10>who are the experts on the rules.

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 4>So that's how it works.

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because they called it a touchdown and then I thought, okay,

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna be hard to overturn. At first, I thought, okay,

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 2>he's got control, and then it's two steps, and that

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 2>it is a football move because the football move is

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 2>to keep it away from the defender. That to me

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 2>was the football move. But you got the Steelers, they survive,

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 2>picking up the win, and you know, a much needed

0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 2>win at that. The Dolphins are still kind of hanging

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:04.080
<v Speaker 2>in there. You know, they didn't fire Mike McDaniel. They

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 2>won five of six. I know they beat the Jets.

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't matter. You're still winning these games. I don't

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 2>know if it's enough for Mike McDaniel to keep his job,

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 2>but I do find it interesting to keep an eye

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 2>on the Browns Titans game was probably not on my

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 2>bingo card, as they like to say, but I was

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 2>certainly entertained by it because I wanted to see how

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Cam Wore did against Miles Garrett, and I wanted to

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 2>see how Shador Sanders did and in a home game

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 2>against a lesser opponent or opponent that's maybe equal to

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>them and putting up good numbers. And he did, and

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 2>he played well. But you know the avalanche of people

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 2>and social media that you know they sending in an

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>email or a tweet about should or scent. What are

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 2>you going to say about Shaud or sending? I don't

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 2>have any There's no real opinion, it no negativity. I

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 2>just said, give him a chance to play. I told

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 2>you he'd start a game at some point this season. Good.

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what they have. You beat the Titans

0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>at home, but there is progress. It feels like he

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 2>gives them more options. They're expanding the playbook from what

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm told, and good it gives them a boost. It's exciting.

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 2>You still lost the game with a idiotic two point conversion,

0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 2>So there's positives there now. Deshaun Watson's planning on coming

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>back next next year. I don't know if he ever

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 2>plays for them. And you got to have a top

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 2>five draft pick, are you going to take a quarterback?

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Are you sold on Shadoor Sanders? And if they are good,

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 2>it's a good story, Yes.

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 6>Paulie, that coaching staff for the Browns should be embarrassed

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 6>how they finish that game.

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:52.719
<v Speaker 9>That.

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 6>I mean, if there's a worst the coaching staff lost

0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 6>that your quarterback justic you seven plays eighty yards, you

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 6>remove him from the field for your two point conversion,

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 6>and you do a direct snap to a rookie running

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.959
<v Speaker 6>back on a complicated play. That's irresponsible.

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Yep, all right, we didn't even do a poll question

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 2>for the first hour. At least I didn't acknowledge that.

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Todd's here, Seaton, Marv, Paula, yours truly in the back room, guys,

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>all right, seton what kind of pole question or what

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.719
<v Speaker 2>did you put up in the first hour? Yeah, we

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>got three of them up right now.

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 11>Notre dame, your options are got hosed, will change the playoffs?

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 11>Being petty or all of the above. Right now, it

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 11>is a tie between is being petty and all of

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 11>the above.

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.240
<v Speaker 2>I wish they would have played in a bowl game,

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 2>but I understand why they didn't because they had nothing

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:40.080
<v Speaker 2>to gain.

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 4>Here.

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.839
<v Speaker 2>Let's say they blow out BYU and the Pop Tart Bowl.

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't mean anything, and I believe that game would

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 2>be on ABC. I think that's what I was told.

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 6>Long history of ABC and the pop tart powle.

0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, of course, yes, legendary, legendary tradition. But I get it,

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.000
<v Speaker 2>But I wish they would have still played. Now, nobody

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 2>is upset that I was State in Kansas State aren't

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.559
<v Speaker 2>playing in their bowl games either. They got fined five

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand dollars each, I believe, But Notre Dame is

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 2>not in a conference, so Notre Dame decided we're not playing.

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 2>But you know, Iowa State loses their head coach and

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe they decide. But once again, I would just ask

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 2>my players, do you guys want to play? Yes, Todd,

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 2>should Notre.

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Dame care that this could come across as sow losers

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 3>and or afraid of the downside of losing to BYU.

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.679
<v Speaker 3>Not that they're afraid of playing BYU, but those are

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 3>things that a lot of people feel.

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 4>Unless you're a big Notre Dames fan.

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:44.719
<v Speaker 3>I think most people that are neutral think that they

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.559
<v Speaker 3>look like they're taking the ball and going home and

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 3>they don't want any part of possibly losing to the Cougar.

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, we'll talk find out in ten minutes when we

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 2>talk to their athletic director on making this decision. What

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.559
<v Speaker 2>other pole questions did you have for the first time

0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 2>re season?

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I also got up there the Chiefs playoff chances

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.679
<v Speaker 11>are dead on life support or alive.

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:09.559
<v Speaker 2>And well, well you did predict your your wild prediction,

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 2>your hot prediction, your crazy prediction, the Chiefs would not

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:16.359
<v Speaker 2>make the playoffs. Closer and closer. Yes, it's pretty incredible.

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Seton said the Chiefs would not make the playoffs June third.

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I believe not that.

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 11>I'm okay, yeah, somewhere in that vicinity all what was

0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 11>the other pole question that you had? We just put

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.680
<v Speaker 11>this one up there right now. Worst loss this weekend Bucks, Chiefs, Colts, Ravens.

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 2>I'd say the Chiefs because Vegas had them as one

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 2>of the favorites to still win the Super Bowl and

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 2>now looks like they're done. Buccaneers can still win that division,

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Ravens can still win that division. I think the Colts

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 2>losing and losing their quarterback and losing one of the

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:59.839
<v Speaker 2>real good stories this year, I mean, that's a that's

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 2>a triple loss there, it feels like. But I would

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 2>say the Chiefs because bigger picture, the Chiefs out of

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>that group could still win the Super Bowl, or at

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 2>least they would be viewed as one of the favorites

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 2>if they were in the playoff picture.

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, Pauling and Daniel Jones is an unrestricted free agent.

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.200
<v Speaker 6>A month ago, he was on the roll and would

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 6>probably got one of those mid levels Sam Darnold three years,

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 6>one hundred million dollar contracts going forward from the Colts

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:29.319
<v Speaker 6>or other And now his career is completely in flux, completely.

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because he's not going to be ready to go

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:34.559
<v Speaker 2>next season. To start next season. You got the Anthony

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Richardson situation. That's a mess. You got Riley Leonard as

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 2>your backup now starting quarterback there that was. That was

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 2>an expensive injury for Daniel Jones. I mean, that's the

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 2>business side of this. If he stays healthy, let's say

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.439
<v Speaker 2>they do get into the playoffs, he's gonna get a

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 2>one hundred million dollar deal because they don't want Anthony

0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Richardson as their starter, at least not now, and Daniel

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Jones would have been the de facto Okay, all right,

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.240
<v Speaker 2>he played pretty well, which he did, He started out

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 2>pretty well, but he's playing with a broken fibula now.

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he should be out there with

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 2>a broken fibula. Of all my injuries and surgeries. I've

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 2>never had a broken fibula or torn achilles, and I

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 2>don't know if one can lead the other. But you

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 2>would think your quarterback out there with a broken fibula

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:32.320
<v Speaker 2>should not be out there with a broken fibula and

0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:36.959
<v Speaker 2>then he blows out his achilles. But Riley Leonard is

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 2>now you're starting quarterback. Now you've got to get a

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 2>backup quarterback in there as well, and the schedules really

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 2>tough the final month of the season. Chris and Syracuse

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Good Morning, Chris, Best and worst of the weekend.

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 12>Hey, thanks Dan, ye I got a best and a

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.720
<v Speaker 12>couple of commis to threats him. My best to one

0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 12>of the original dan Ciples in Dan Nation on the

0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.680
<v Speaker 12>Dan Patrick Show, Tillian Bloomington, who is a man Indiana

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 12>football fan. He has to be so excited with his Hoosiers,

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 12>who are kind of the poster child of the new

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 12>age at college football. No real dominant teams, just a

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 12>lot of very good teams.

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 5>And in the.

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 12>SEC Title game, Alabama had to cover ninety one yards

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 12>for their loan touchdown and Georgia had to only cover

0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 12>one hundred and thirty yards combined. All four of their

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 12>touchdowns and Dan this year is one of the few

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 12>years that Notre Dame not being in the ACC conference

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 12>came back to bite him. It not only cost him

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 12>a berth in the playoffs, but with the ACC so

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 12>week this year, it probably cost him a home first

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 12>round playoff game. And I wonder if the committee leaving

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 12>Notre Dame out is their way of trying to force

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 12>him into a conference.

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh okay, I got to find this out, and I'm

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 2>going to find it out in about five minutes. What

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 2>role did the ACC play in Notre Dame getting in

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 2>or not getting in? And find out next year on

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Pete Bavaqua, Notre Dame athletic director. A couple of months ago,

0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I said, oh, I look forward to talking to you again.

0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know we would be talking about this. How

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 2>did we get here? Pete?

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 7>Dan, first of all, yeah, thanks thanks for having me on.

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 7>It's good to see you yet yesterday, that's the question.

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 7>I don't know how we got here. That's kind of

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 7>what we have a problem with. I don't have a

0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 7>good answer for you, you know, and a lot of

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.120
<v Speaker 7>conversations here on campus the last twenty four hours, as

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 7>you can imagine, and you know, I want to make

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 7>one thing clear, Dan, we have no problems with the

0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 7>teams that made it in. They're all great teams. You know,

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 7>Miami's a great team, Alabama's a great team. If Texas Vanderbilt.

0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 7>We're a great team. What we're so confused by and

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 7>frustrated with is the process. You know, every step along

0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 7>the way, since the first CFP rankings came out, we

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 7>were led to believe we were in as long as

0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.800
<v Speaker 7>we took care of business, and we certainly took care

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:54.160
<v Speaker 7>of business with this ten game winning streak. Then you

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 7>think about that first ranking. You know, we and Miami

0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 7>were both six and two. They had obviously already beat

0:16:59.920 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 7>us the first game of the year. They were eighteenth,

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.439
<v Speaker 7>We were tenth. You know, the only thing that we

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 7>did since that point was win every game by over

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.719
<v Speaker 7>an average of over thirty points. And you know, all

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:14.200
<v Speaker 7>of a sudden, we're eleventh and on the outside looking in.

0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 7>And you know, when we sit and talk, when I

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 7>talked to Marcus, when when we talked to our team,

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.239
<v Speaker 7>we don't have any good answers for that. So we're

0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.440
<v Speaker 7>just we're just really frustrated that we had the rug

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:25.880
<v Speaker 7>pulled out from underneath the stan.

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Were you able to lobby at all Sunday morning, you know,

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.959
<v Speaker 2>or had the decision been made that you were not

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 2>going to make the playoffs?

0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:37.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I don't know exactly when the decision was made.

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 7>You know, we you know, we made our case. We

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.200
<v Speaker 7>stayed at our point of view. But again, if you're us,

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.320
<v Speaker 7>we were told from day one of the rankings that

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 7>you know, we were in and we were ninth, and

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 7>then all of a sudden, you know, we go play

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 7>a game against Stanford. I felt like in the middle

0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 7>of the night, you know, and we we we took

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.240
<v Speaker 7>care of business, and Alabama has a really tough game

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 7>against a an Auburn team that's having a tough year.

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.919
<v Speaker 7>And we wake up on Tuesday and we fall below

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.680
<v Speaker 7>Alabama for the first time. And it was all about

0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.879
<v Speaker 7>the fierce conversation between Notre Dame and Alabama. And I

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:16.159
<v Speaker 7>heard something to the effect that Alabama went forward on

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 7>fourth down, so that made an impression, and just our

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.480
<v Speaker 7>heads were spinning, like where's the logic, where's the rationale?

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 7>Why are we being kind of punished and the only

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 7>ones that seemed to be moving in the wrong direction

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 7>and yet winning and having an unbelievably dominant end to

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 7>the season. It's just we're confused, we're sad, and damn

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:38.560
<v Speaker 7>we're frustrated.

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:43.159
<v Speaker 2>And I was told there's nothing that's secret in those meetings,

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:47.720
<v Speaker 2>it eventually gets out, and I was told during last

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 2>week that it felt like where Alabama was ranked that

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame. In the words of my source, you guys

0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 2>were being set up for disappointment. So this is somebody

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.240
<v Speaker 2>involved in this. And then all of a sudden the

0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Miami situation, which if they ranked Miami ahead of you, fine,

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't have any problem with that. I just didn't

0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:11.879
<v Speaker 2>understand the rationale. And then I wondered, did the ACC

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:16.200
<v Speaker 2>lobby at all? Did what role did the ACC play

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:17.880
<v Speaker 2>in any of this? In your opinion?

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:20.399
<v Speaker 7>Well, I would tell you, I mean again, I have

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 7>tremendous respect for Miami, you know, the great team, great school,

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:28.639
<v Speaker 7>their athletic director, Dan Radakovich is a good friend, and

0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.760
<v Speaker 7>all the teams in the ACC, great wonderful universities. We

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 7>have no gripes about any of the schools in the ACC,

0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.679
<v Speaker 7>but we were mystified by the actions of the conference

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.639
<v Speaker 7>to attack you know, their biggest really business partner in

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:47.880
<v Speaker 7>football and a member of their conference in twenty four

0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.400
<v Speaker 7>of our other sports. And I would tell you, Dan,

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 7>I wouldn't be honest with you if I didn't say

0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.920
<v Speaker 7>that they have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship

0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.960
<v Speaker 7>between the conference and Notre Dame. What do you mean,

0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 7>just we didn't appreciate the fact that we were singled

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:09.639
<v Speaker 7>out repeatedly and compared to Miami, not by Miami. Miami

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 7>has every right to do that, but it raised a

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:15.400
<v Speaker 7>lot of eyebrows here that the conference was taking shots

0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 7>at us, and you know, that's just not something we

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:20.280
<v Speaker 7>chose to do. We wouldn't choose to do that in

0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 7>the future. People might disagree with us, but that's just

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:25.679
<v Speaker 7>not something that we'd be comfortable with. And again, we

0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 7>have no problem with any of these teams. These are

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.760
<v Speaker 7>all great teams. You look at those teams, Miami, like

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:34.280
<v Speaker 7>I said, great season, they beat us. You think about Alabama,

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 7>and nobody's had more success in college football over the

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.119
<v Speaker 7>last decade than Alabama. But Dan, you know, I mean,

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 7>you follow the sport so closely. Everybody was saying that

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 7>we were one of a handful of teams that could

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.240
<v Speaker 7>win this whole thing and that we have zero percent chance.

0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.160
<v Speaker 7>Even Nick Saban, you know, nobody knows more about college

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:53.480
<v Speaker 7>football maybe in the history of the world than Nick Saban,

0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:56.040
<v Speaker 7>you know, and he said it yesterday, like, how is

0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 7>Notre Dame, not in this. I mean, everybody's just kind

0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 7>of confused and per played, and we don't have good

0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 7>answers for the kids on our team, for our student athletes.

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Are you going to reevaluate your relationship with the ACC

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the overall relationship.

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:21.480
<v Speaker 7>I would just say it's been strained, irreparable, Well you

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.439
<v Speaker 7>never say irreparable. But it's opened our eyes and you know,

0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:27.520
<v Speaker 7>we we it caught our attention. But you know, we'll

0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.639
<v Speaker 7>we'll we'll move past this like we are, you know,

0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:34.920
<v Speaker 7>as you know, we're already focused on next season. Uh,

0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 7>you know, we made the decision not to play in

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 7>a bowl game, as I know you're you're well aware,

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:42.400
<v Speaker 7>and a lot of a lot of people have asked

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.960
<v Speaker 7>me about that. And you know when Marcus, we watched

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.679
<v Speaker 7>the presentation show, the selection show with the team, and

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.160
<v Speaker 7>then Marcus, like he always does, was wonderful, got up

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:56.719
<v Speaker 7>and for somebody that always has great answers, he was

0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.119
<v Speaker 7>brutally honest with the team and said he didn't have

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 7>a lot of answers. Doesn't understand how this happened, Why

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:05.000
<v Speaker 7>this happened, Why a team that thought it was doing

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:06.880
<v Speaker 7>what it needed to do all of a sudden kind

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:08.719
<v Speaker 7>of woke up on kind of the wrong side of this.

0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 7>And then just as you're kind of dealing with that,

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:16.159
<v Speaker 7>you start getting these calls from other bowls. And you know,

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:18.800
<v Speaker 7>the role of a captain on the Notre Dame football

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 7>team is a role that the program and Marcus takes

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:26.680
<v Speaker 7>very very seriously. And he talked to all the captains,

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:28.920
<v Speaker 7>you know, and said, hey, what are you guys thinking,

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 7>What's what does the team thinking. Let's talk about this,

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:35.639
<v Speaker 7>and you know, to a person, the captains and some

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 7>of the other you know, underclassmen on the team said, listen,

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 7>we are such a close knit team. We've done so

0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:45.440
<v Speaker 7>much this season. We overcame those two opening losses, we rallied,

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:49.880
<v Speaker 7>we dominated in the last ten games. We can't imagine

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 7>taking the field not as that team. And it's reality, Dan,

0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 7>you know that certain players wouldn't participate in that game.

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:02.640
<v Speaker 7>You think about some body with the future that he has,

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 7>like a Jeremiah Love, a Jadarian Price, Eli Rarid, and

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:10.359
<v Speaker 7>you know Emil Wagner, who's one of the most impressive

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:12.880
<v Speaker 7>people I've met in my life. Hopefully, after he's done

0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.360
<v Speaker 7>playing football, I hope he runs for president. One day,

0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:19.200
<v Speaker 7>it just wouldn't be the same, and you know, made

0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:22.960
<v Speaker 7>the decision that it was time to start thinking about

0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:26.159
<v Speaker 7>next season. Give these these student athletes a break. They

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 7>have exams coming up, and then you know, really hopefully

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 7>they they'll go home and spend Christmas in the holidays

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:32.720
<v Speaker 7>with their family and friends.

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Feels like a message being sent as well, Pete.

0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:40.920
<v Speaker 7>Well we're not happy, Dan, that's for sure.

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Help me understand this though. So are you guaranteed of

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:51.119
<v Speaker 2>playoff birth if you're twelve or higher next season?

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:52.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:54.960
<v Speaker 7>I don't want to say too much about the memorandum

0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:58.080
<v Speaker 7>of understanding, but that's certainly been reported. That's out there,

0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 7>and what you said is accurate.

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>It So next year, if you're ranked in the top twelve,

0:24:04.720 --> 0:24:10.719
<v Speaker 2>you're automatically in the playoffs. Correct, Okay, And everybody agreed that,

0:24:11.040 --> 0:24:12.959
<v Speaker 2>Like this was drawn up my Notre Dame, and then

0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 2>the college Football Playoff Committee said we'll sign off on that.

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 7>Well, it was part of the negotiations as we were

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 7>contemplating the various changes that go into the committee and

0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:26.800
<v Speaker 7>in preparation for the extension of the ESPN deal.

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Are we looking at a sixteen team field next season? Dan?

0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:33.159
<v Speaker 7>I go back to what I said when you were

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:39.119
<v Speaker 7>here on campus for the USC game. I firmly believe

0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 7>that the right answer is sixteen teams with five automatic

0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 7>qualifiers and eleven at large. And maybe there's no perfect answers.

0:24:47.359 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 7>You know, think about this year, Dan, say we were

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 7>four teams, there wouldn't be any arguments. I mean, those

0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:54.560
<v Speaker 7>four teams. I think that's crystal clear. Those are the

0:24:54.640 --> 0:24:56.879
<v Speaker 7>right four teams. I don't think anybody would argue so

0:24:57.280 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 7>for twelve fourteen sixteen. I happened to think sixteen is

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:04.760
<v Speaker 7>the answer. I think the majority of the vast and

0:25:05.080 --> 0:25:08.360
<v Speaker 7>overwhelming majority of the people in the college football management

0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 7>committee room agree with me. I think anything beyond sixteen,

0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 7>in my opinion, is a mistake because it would interfere

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 7>with the importance of the regular season and all. By

0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 7>the way, did we feel that this year, right, but

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:21.120
<v Speaker 7>that's important? Right?

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:21.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 7>You know, we knew we had two tough games played.

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:27.360
<v Speaker 7>You know, well, we certainly got better over the course

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:29.120
<v Speaker 7>of the season, but we lost the two great teams

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:31.880
<v Speaker 7>by a total of four points. We felt we had

0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 7>zero wiggle room. We felt we did what we needed

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:37.280
<v Speaker 7>to do. It turns out we didn't have a chance, right,

0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:40.760
<v Speaker 7>and that's what's so disappointing. But I think sixteen teams

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 7>with the five and eleven format is the way to

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 7>go down.

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Pete mcvauqua, Notre Dame Athletic Director joining us. But when

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:50.320
<v Speaker 2>is this voted on? When is this decided or is

0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 2>it already decided now?

0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 7>It's been a series of conversations for the better part

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 7>of a year or more. As you saw, it was

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 7>reported that we have a bit of an extension from

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:03.360
<v Speaker 7>when we need to inform ESPN of what the format

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 7>will be. We'll meet as a group over the National

0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:10.119
<v Speaker 7>Championship weekend. I'm not sure if anything's going to get

0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:12.640
<v Speaker 7>resolved as it relates to format in that room at

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:18.560
<v Speaker 7>that time, but these conversations are ongoing. If I had

0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:20.399
<v Speaker 7>to guess what happens next year, I think there's a

0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:22.439
<v Speaker 7>good chance we stay at twelve. I hope we can

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:25.119
<v Speaker 7>keep pushing for sixteen, but Dan, I just don't know

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:26.040
<v Speaker 7>how that's going to end.

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 2>College football is at a crossroads, it feels like, but

0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:36.359
<v Speaker 2>it does take something to make change. So maybe what

0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 2>happened here with Notre Dame brings about change, So it

0:26:40.359 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 2>could be a catalyst, do you see it that way?

0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:47.960
<v Speaker 7>Well, again, we're frustrated with the process, not the teams.

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:50.600
<v Speaker 7>They're all great teams, and it's a bunch of team

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 7>BYU has a great argument. Texas, Vanderbilt, Miami, Alabama, Notre Dame.

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:59.400
<v Speaker 7>We all have great arguments. It's the process that bothers us.

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Ranking shows bother me, Pete, because well.

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:04.719
<v Speaker 7>They bothered me too, because you know, if we said, well,

0:27:04.800 --> 0:27:07.520
<v Speaker 7>if we had assembled as a team on Sunday and

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:10.479
<v Speaker 7>rankings hadn't told us for the previous weeks, we're in.

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:11.200
<v Speaker 13>We're in, we're in.

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:13.920
<v Speaker 7>Take care of business, take care of business, and hey,

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:16.880
<v Speaker 7>you know what, Notre Dame, you're eleven, and now you're

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.440
<v Speaker 7>going to get squeezed out because the conference tie ins

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 7>and Miami beat you, And hey, I get it. But

0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:25.920
<v Speaker 7>these ranking shows, as I said yesterday, like what's the

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:29.479
<v Speaker 7>point why kind of send these signals and get the

0:27:29.520 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 7>hopes up of these of these teams, these coaches, these

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:37.040
<v Speaker 7>kids on the team that believe they're doing everything necessary.

0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 7>And then, like I said, it just felt in that

0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 7>room a collective sense of the rug being taken out

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 7>from under us without any explanation. At that I've heard

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:49.120
<v Speaker 7>Dan that has me feeling better about it.

0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Casual fan here's this and says it's sour grapes, Notre

0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Dame trying to be bigger than everybody more important.

0:27:55.880 --> 0:28:00.240
<v Speaker 7>You would say, what, Well, listen, everybody kind of wants

0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:03.120
<v Speaker 7>to do right by their team. We felt like we

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 7>did what we needed to do this season to earn

0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:10.840
<v Speaker 7>a spot in the college football playoffs. We feel that

0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:13.400
<v Speaker 7>we have one of the very best teams in the country.

0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 7>I think the majority of people who follow this sport

0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 7>so closely agreed. Every indication we had from that first

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 7>ranking suggested that that committee agreed with us. We were

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:29.760
<v Speaker 7>always being compared to Alabama. We couldn't possibly have ended

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 7>the year any better than we did. I get why

0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 7>people think it's sour grapes, but you know it's disappointment.

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:37.360
<v Speaker 9>Dan.

0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:41.320
<v Speaker 7>I mean this is we take this seriously, as do

0:28:41.400 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 7>other universities, and you know, the rankings can't just be

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 7>musical chairs at some fifth grade birthday party. They have

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:54.560
<v Speaker 7>to mean something, and to me, what happened to us

0:28:54.600 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 7>really kind of was alarming.

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Just to get you on record, you're not anti pop tarts, right,

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 2>because you guys were reportedly going to the pop Tart

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Bowl to play BYU Dan.

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 7>That the irony in that is I love pop tarts,

0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:12.880
<v Speaker 7>and I particularly love the brown sugar pop tarts. I

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 7>probably need too many of them now, I'm a huge

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:18.080
<v Speaker 7>fan of pop tarts. That's nothing to do with pop tarts, Okay.

0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:19.840
<v Speaker 2>I just want to make sure we got that on record.

0:29:21.120 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I would say, great to talk to you again, but

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:26.520
<v Speaker 2>thanks for We appreciate you coming on and giving your

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 2>side of the thing. If the people watching on TV

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:33.560
<v Speaker 2>behind you, what are all those numbers behind you?

0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 7>So these behind me, these are actual bench seats from

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:41.719
<v Speaker 7>Notre Dame Stadium. So when we did the extension and

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:44.880
<v Speaker 7>the renovation and created crossroads here, there were some of

0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:48.640
<v Speaker 7>the original seats left over, so we created a wall

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:52.960
<v Speaker 7>here with some of the original bench seats in Notre

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:55.959
<v Speaker 7>Dame Stadium. So this is the back of my office

0:29:55.960 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 7>that you're looking at.

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 2>How old are those seats?

0:29:58.960 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 7>Probably some of them different ages but different panels, but

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 7>some of them are over a century old.

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Thanks again, Pete, We appreciate your time now.

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 7>Thanks for having me on DAN, and good to see

0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 7>you and hope to see us out.

0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:16.960
<v Speaker 2>That's Pete Mavaqua he's the Notre Dame athletic director. Yeah,

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.200
<v Speaker 2>I understand it. You just want to know what the

0:30:19.280 --> 0:30:22.360
<v Speaker 2>rules are. And I'm not a Notre Dame apologist. I'm

0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 2>just saying, let's just look at common sense here, and

0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm not anti Miami. If Miami was ranked ahead of

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame, fine, just you can't wait a month and

0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden go you know, Miami should be

0:30:35.840 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 2>ranked ahead of Notre Dame put him there to begin with?

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Was there something up with the ACC? I think there's

0:30:41.640 --> 0:30:44.760
<v Speaker 2>a whole lot more with that story, and Pete I

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:48.560
<v Speaker 2>think would love to have talked about that, but you

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 2>could tell what the ACC did and did not do

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:56.440
<v Speaker 2>is going to be there for a little while. But

0:30:56.520 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 2>he did say that rankings can't be musical chairs like

0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:02.360
<v Speaker 2>a fifth grade birthday party. And he's right. It's these

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:05.520
<v Speaker 2>hey every Tuesday, the big reveal on the mother Ship.

0:31:05.560 --> 0:31:09.600
<v Speaker 2>It's great programming for them, but it puts the college

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Football Playoff Committee in a tough situation because you got

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 2>to explain, Okay, what happened then, and why is it

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 2>different now, and why is it different in three or

0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:24.960
<v Speaker 2>four weeks from now? And was Notre Dame being set

0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 2>up for disappointment. As my source said, this is last week.

0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:32.680
<v Speaker 2>They said this, and then you had the Miami situation.

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 2>But maybe it brings about change, But it didn't sound

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 2>like Pete thought that they were expanding to sixteen teams.

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:43.040
<v Speaker 2>And I had been told that they were going to

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:45.080
<v Speaker 2>first I was told they weren't, and then I was

0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:47.760
<v Speaker 2>told that they there's real strong momentum to have a

0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:51.240
<v Speaker 2>sixteen team playoff next year. And now Notre Dame is

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:54.680
<v Speaker 2>guaranteed if they're ranked in the top twelve next year.

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 2>And we even said that after their first two losses.

0:31:57.600 --> 0:32:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I said, if they run the table, they're in two losses,

0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:05.760
<v Speaker 2>quality losses beginning of the year losses, and they'll make

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs.

0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Ton, it's very interesting saying how the relationship with

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 3>the AEC is strained. That'll be interesting to follow moving forward.

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:14.720
<v Speaker 3>What's going to happen there.

0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:17.520
<v Speaker 2>And that covers a lot of sports here. That's not

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:21.000
<v Speaker 2>just football, because they do have a partial schedule there

0:32:21.040 --> 0:32:23.479
<v Speaker 2>with some ACC teams, but now you're talking about all

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:26.320
<v Speaker 2>the other sports they have with the ACC. All right,

0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 2>we'll take a break. We will give you our best

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:29.960

<v Speaker 14>and worst Dealers finally winning against the Ravens last time

0:32:55.680 --> 0:32:59.800
<v Speaker 14>we beat them in Baltimore. Kenny Pickett and Tyler Huntley

0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 14>were the quarterback second best.

0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:01.960
<v Speaker 9>Uh.

0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:05.600
<v Speaker 14>Seeing Todd's Broncos succeed in AFC West and looks like

0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:08.160
<v Speaker 14>they're gonna get a new possibly a new champ uh

0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:11.200
<v Speaker 14>this uh this year, and it's just really good to see.

0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:11.800
<v Speaker 14>That's my best.

0:33:11.800 --> 0:33:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, gust In la Hi Gus. Best and Worst

0:33:14.800 --> 0:33:15.360
<v Speaker 2>of the weekend.

0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:19.680
<v Speaker 9>Good morning, mister pat Thick. Best of the weekend got

0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:22.640
<v Speaker 9>to be Indiana to me, you know, everybody's been kind

0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:24.520
<v Speaker 9>of like waiting for them to lose, just so they

0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 9>could be like see see told you, I told you.

0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 9>But great for them, for Nanum and those of the

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 9>Heisman winner. Can't wait to see that one play out.

0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:37.720
<v Speaker 9>Worst of the weekend. Look, you know, to me, it

0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 9>was flat out just arrogance of Notre Shame to sit

0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:43.760
<v Speaker 9>there and be like, well we didn't get in until

0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:45.160
<v Speaker 9>we're not gonna go to Bunny Bull game.

0:33:45.360 --> 0:33:47.920
<v Speaker 5>You think Texas is sitting there right now, Texas and

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:51.480
<v Speaker 5>probably could maybe be in there, has maybe a case

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 5>or whatever, and he's like, well, we should be in

0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:56.640
<v Speaker 5>there too, you know. I mean, like, dude, don't don't

0:33:56.680 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 5>schedule Syracuse blow them out knowingly seventy.

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:02.959
<v Speaker 13>To seven and be like, see, we're so good.

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 5>See we'd like we should be in there. No, dude,

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:08.799
<v Speaker 5>it's arrogant. You guys, they played like a champion. How

0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:09.879
<v Speaker 5>about your show up and just.

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Play the game, all right? Thank you, Gus, Michael and

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Miami Hi, Mike.

0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:22.960
<v Speaker 13>Hey Dan six to three hundred. That was Miami getting in.

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:26.919
<v Speaker 13>My worst honestly is Notre Dame getting out, and that's

0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:31.120
<v Speaker 13>because I thought the committee would have them play each

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:35.680
<v Speaker 13>other again in the semi finals. With the ACC debacle

0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 13>of how they did their rankings, is I think what

0:34:39.840 --> 0:34:41.840
<v Speaker 13>pushed Notre Dame outs.

0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:45.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think there's there's another story to tell here,

0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:47.960
<v Speaker 2>and I think it has to do with the ACC

0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:51.000
<v Speaker 2>because the ACC was going to lobby hard for Miami

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:55.400
<v Speaker 2>and maybe not lobby so hard for Notre Dame at

0:34:55.480 --> 0:35:01.080
<v Speaker 2>least from what I'm told and two sources on this,

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:05.239
<v Speaker 2>so I've been trying to get information on it. The

0:35:05.280 --> 0:35:12.720
<v Speaker 2>Alabama placing is a little questionable. Prior to the College

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Football Playoff Commedye reveal, Miami put him in front of

0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame. Nobody would have had a problem with that.

0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't felt when you let them jump. Alabama is

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:27.399
<v Speaker 2>non competitive in the SEC title game. Yes they got there,

0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:30.319
<v Speaker 2>but they were not competitive at all, and then you're

0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:34.880
<v Speaker 2>not dropping. I don't know it just it felt a

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:39.240
<v Speaker 2>little nefarious there. Todd Best and worst of the weekend.

0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 2>My best of the weekend.

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:43.000
<v Speaker 3>They lost their football coach, but Ioway State basketball Saly

0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:45.560
<v Speaker 3>dominated Number one, produced eighty one fifty eight with the

0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:48.920
<v Speaker 3>help of eleven three pointers. Boiler Makers twenty three point loss,

0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:51.600
<v Speaker 3>largest non conference home loss by a number one team

0:35:51.760 --> 0:35:54.279
<v Speaker 3>in ap POLE history, tied for the largest.

0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:55.560
<v Speaker 4>Homeless ever by a number one team.

0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:58.399
<v Speaker 3>Wow worst Alabama getting shut out for the first three

0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:01.759
<v Speaker 3>quarters against Georgia the game by three touchdowns twenty eight seven.

0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:04.120
<v Speaker 3>The Dogs had one hundred and forty one total rushing yards.

0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Crimson tied negative three.

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Seat and best and worst.

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:10.840
<v Speaker 11>My best of the weekend is Mike Tomlin getting a

0:36:11.040 --> 0:36:13.200
<v Speaker 11>huge dove against the Ravens. I guess I'm not any

0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:15.240
<v Speaker 11>good at coaching. Why don't I just beat the Ravens.

0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Then?

0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:20.160
<v Speaker 11>My worst of the weekend Tampa Bay losing that was

0:36:20.200 --> 0:36:23.600
<v Speaker 11>an absolute must win. They've lost I think five of

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:26.000
<v Speaker 11>the last seven or something like that. If there was

0:36:26.040 --> 0:36:29.759
<v Speaker 11>an NFL playoff selection committee, they would be on the

0:36:29.800 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 11>outside looking in.

0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Marvin Best and worst.

0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:37.400
<v Speaker 15>Best at the weekend Titans running back Tony Pollard twenty

0:36:37.440 --> 0:36:40.080
<v Speaker 15>five carries harness sixty one yards, two touchdowns.

0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:43.640
<v Speaker 4>Worst of the weekend the Commanders. What happened this season?

0:36:43.880 --> 0:36:46.359
<v Speaker 15>After making the NFC Championship game last year, they're now

0:36:46.360 --> 0:36:48.439
<v Speaker 15>three and ten and they got shut out. Now harder

0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:49.960
<v Speaker 15>is for NFL two and to get shut out.

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm watching the Broncos and the Raiders. I have this

0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 2>bet with Todd. I had the Raiders with a better

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 2>record than the Broncos, so I got to get a

0:36:57.360 --> 0:36:58.000
<v Speaker 2>pie to the face.

0:36:58.040 --> 0:36:59.799
<v Speaker 4>I think they're eleven two and two and eleven right

0:36:59.840 --> 0:37:00.960
<v Speaker 4>now standing?

0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 2>So can we call?

0:37:02.840 --> 0:37:03.040
<v Speaker 9>Now?

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:04.440
<v Speaker 2>We can settle the bet? Now?

0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:06.879
<v Speaker 4>Probably, I don't see the Raiders catching up.

0:37:06.840 --> 0:37:09.040
<v Speaker 2>With four games, all right, maybe a double or nothing.

0:37:10.719 --> 0:37:12.040
<v Speaker 4>They're gonna have to make it like a thirty game

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:12.879
<v Speaker 4>schedule or something.

0:37:14.640 --> 0:37:18.160
<v Speaker 2>So you're down by ten, the line is seven and

0:37:18.160 --> 0:37:21.919
<v Speaker 2>a half, and the to end the game you kick

0:37:21.960 --> 0:37:25.000
<v Speaker 2>a field goal, and then all of a sudden you

0:37:25.080 --> 0:37:28.320
<v Speaker 2>lose by seven when the line is seven and a half.

0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:33.040
<v Speaker 2>What team goes for a field goal at the end

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:35.600
<v Speaker 2>of the game when you know that you need ten

0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:38.680
<v Speaker 2>points so you're gonna get You're not even going for

0:37:38.719 --> 0:37:42.960
<v Speaker 2>a touchdown? Oh gues Todd.

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:44.359
<v Speaker 3>The only thing I thought of was that they were

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:46.400
<v Speaker 3>hoping the kick would take less than five seconds, and

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:48.160
<v Speaker 3>then they cut it to seven and an on side

0:37:48.239 --> 0:37:50.319
<v Speaker 3>kick with one second left that somehow they pick up

0:37:50.320 --> 0:37:51.640
<v Speaker 3>and run in for a touch on something.

0:37:51.760 --> 0:37:53.600
<v Speaker 4>Crazier things have happened, I guess.

0:37:53.800 --> 0:37:56.839
<v Speaker 2>I guess technically, but you can't advance an onside.

0:37:56.840 --> 0:37:58.799
<v Speaker 3>Can't so I don't even know. So would there be

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:00.520
<v Speaker 3>time for one play if they got it?

0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Probably not, I don't think so. But once again, I

0:38:05.960 --> 0:38:10.160
<v Speaker 2>do watch the lines as a former gambler, and I'm

0:38:10.200 --> 0:38:14.160
<v Speaker 2>always curious, like, whenever there's a last second, you know,

0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:16.120
<v Speaker 2>play one way or another, I go, how did that

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:20.839
<v Speaker 2>affect this spread? And most times it does? PAULI Best

0:38:20.920 --> 0:38:21.840
<v Speaker 2>and worst of the weekend.

0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:24.040
<v Speaker 6>I got two bests, as obvious as it is. The

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:27.600
<v Speaker 6>Indiana Hoosiers beating Ohio State and doing it with defense.

0:38:27.600 --> 0:38:30.000
<v Speaker 6>They held them the fifty eight yards rushing two point

0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:32.400
<v Speaker 6>two a Carrie if you're from Earth, Indiana being the

0:38:32.440 --> 0:38:34.040
<v Speaker 6>number one football team in the country is one of

0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:36.879
<v Speaker 6>the wildest stories of my lifetime. Unbelievable and then one

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:38.880
<v Speaker 6>that went under the radar a little bit. This weekend

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:43.279
<v Speaker 6>FCS playoffs, Illinois State Redbirds take down North Dakota State,

0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:46.400
<v Speaker 6>previously undefeated, twenty nine to twenty eight in a fantastic game.

0:38:46.880 --> 0:38:48.359
<v Speaker 6>Huge day for Illinois State.

0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I think Illinois State was a twenty two to twenty

0:38:51.480 --> 0:38:55.200
<v Speaker 2>three point underdog in that game. Rich and Pittsburgh, Hey Rich,

0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:56.920
<v Speaker 2>thanks for holding What's on your mind.

0:38:59.320 --> 0:39:03.120
<v Speaker 16>Was the whole thing for the ACC. The Notre Dame

0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:07.040
<v Speaker 16>Miami was created by the ACC. Why was Duke playing

0:39:07.560 --> 0:39:12.759
<v Speaker 16>Virginia and not the best second best team? Miami planed Virginia,

0:39:13.080 --> 0:39:16.440
<v Speaker 16>then Miami and Virginia, who over won, went right into

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 16>the tournament.

0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's some kind of like five team tiebreaker that

0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Duke somehow won. I yeah, I'm with you on that.

0:39:26.760 --> 0:39:29.759
<v Speaker 2>I would hope that you had a better ACC title game,

0:39:29.760 --> 0:39:32.080
<v Speaker 2>but then Duke ends up winning. Yes he did. Sounded

0:39:32.080 --> 0:39:35.440
<v Speaker 2>like Jim Beahon checking in there. Oh well, Jim's not

0:39:35.480 --> 0:39:39.359
<v Speaker 2>doing anything now, Aaron and fort Wayne? Hi, Aeron, went's

0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:41.680
<v Speaker 2>on your mind today?

0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:44.399
<v Speaker 13>By hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call.

0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:47.880
<v Speaker 2>That's the worst of the weekend.

0:39:48.239 --> 0:39:51.240
<v Speaker 5>Uh, definitely my Hoosiers taken down.

0:39:51.160 --> 0:39:53.960
<v Speaker 16>Ohio State and Paully is right.

0:39:54.000 --> 0:39:56.600
<v Speaker 14>I was thinking about this, like, what kind of story

0:39:56.680 --> 0:39:59.760
<v Speaker 14>is there ever been of a team rising up like Indiana?

0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:01.760
<v Speaker 13>I mean, and you get it at March Madness.

0:40:02.120 --> 0:40:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what, we gave Dion so much credit

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:11.359
<v Speaker 2>for what he did at Colorado, right, everybody lauding, Oh

0:40:11.400 --> 0:40:14.319
<v Speaker 2>my god, look at what Deon did. They won one

0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:17.399
<v Speaker 2>game the previous year or whatever. Then they won four

0:40:17.440 --> 0:40:19.960
<v Speaker 2>and it was like game day and you know, everybody's

0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:25.400
<v Speaker 2>out there. Kurt Signetti did something that's never been done before,

0:40:26.880 --> 0:40:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Like that turnaround is a million times more than what

0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Dion did at Colorado. Colorado has won a national title before,

0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Colorado has had a Heisman Trophy winner before. Colorado has

0:40:38.440 --> 0:40:44.399
<v Speaker 2>played good football before Indiana has not. What he did

0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 2>in two years is incredible. He should be the Sports

0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. Yeah, Paul.

0:40:53.400 --> 0:40:57.160
<v Speaker 6>From eighteen ninety nine until two years ago, Indian never

0:40:57.200 --> 0:40:59.600
<v Speaker 6>won ten plus games in a season. The past two

0:40:59.680 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 6>years eleven wins, thirteen wins.
