Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Thursday. We'll check in
Speaker 1: the Ohio State muckeyehead coach Ryan Day will join us
Speaker 1: coming up at about fifteen minutes. Game canceled against Maryland.
Speaker 1: Can't have another cancelation here, going to run out of
Speaker 1: time games to qualify for the Big Ten Championship, and
Speaker 1: what about playing in the college football playoffs, And we'll
Speaker 1: talk to coach. He'll join us coming up. Four sec
Speaker 1: games were postponed, so they will reschedule those tonight. Cold
Speaker 1: to the Titans. The Masters is under way. They had
Speaker 1: some rain, they had some thunderstorms, they had some lightning,
Speaker 1: and we got some bright sunshine there at Augusta. We'll
Speaker 1: keep an eye on what's going on. Rice into Shambo,
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods all out this morning. You're not going to
Speaker 1: get everybody to complete their rounds today because it will
Speaker 1: get dark down in Augusta around five o'clock. And it
Speaker 1: used to be that you know that Sunday afternoon own
Speaker 1: it go to seven, seven thirty, you'd still have some
Speaker 1: sunlight there. With daylight savings, you're probably going to get
Speaker 1: to five o'clock, which means there's quite a few golfers
Speaker 1: who won't complete their round today fall number eight seven
Speaker 1: seven three. DP show email address dp A Danpatrick dot
Speaker 1: com Twitter handle like DP show. Thursday Night Football is
Speaker 1: also you know, it's always been a mixed bag for
Speaker 1: the NFL. We've had some interesting matchups. You know. Last
Speaker 1: week Packers Niners game was supposed to be a classic
Speaker 1: rematch of last season's NFC title game, but because of injuries,
Speaker 1: you had Green Bay with a blowout. This week Thursday
Speaker 1: Night Football, Yeah, I guess you turn back to an
Speaker 1: old friend, the AFC South. First few years, Thursday Night
Speaker 1: Football try to shove a steady diet of it felt
Speaker 1: like the Jags and Colts played four times a year.
Speaker 1: Not always the juiciest games. Always feels like it's a
Speaker 1: crooked score like eighteen to thirteen or something. Right. Always
Speaker 1: feels like the FC South. What was the final score?
Speaker 1: Twenty two to eighteen? Yeah, Paul, And there's two safeties
Speaker 1: in the game. Colts Titans matchup is actually a big game.
Speaker 1: Tennessee six and two India is five and three. Titans
Speaker 1: combo of defense, strong running game that certainly propelled them
Speaker 1: in last year's playoffs. Colts also have a strong defense.
Speaker 1: They have an interesting offense, Philip Rivers under center, and
Speaker 1: you know I'll tune into it. I'm not the biggest
Speaker 1: d AFC South fan, but it is Thursday night Football's
Speaker 1: a standalone game. Let's put it this way. If this
Speaker 1: game was played on Sunday at one, probably not. I
Speaker 1: might just flip right through that. I might wait for
Speaker 1: wait for andrews Ceciliano in the red zone to give
Speaker 1: me an update on some of the exciting things there.
Speaker 1: But no, not all in. But it's a standalone game.
Speaker 1: I'll be watching the Masters today as well. MAC action
Speaker 1: has been great. There's been a lot of fun watching
Speaker 1: them action. This is why I know it's it's hypothetical
Speaker 1: and it's a long shot, but I brought this up
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. The PAC twelve has got to
Speaker 1: do something to stand out. Now. That doesn't mean a
Speaker 1: nine am West Coast starting time for a kickoff own
Speaker 1: a night. I don't know if you can do this
Speaker 1: with PAC twelve, with school classes, whatever it might be,
Speaker 1: but a Wednesday night PAC twelve and you got you know,
Speaker 1: five of your games, four of your games there own
Speaker 1: the night, Because what you want people to do is
Speaker 1: the next day, did you see show some highlights, have
Speaker 1: an analyst talk about some of the players who's going
Speaker 1: to be a pro. You don't have any of that
Speaker 1: with the PAC twelve, SEC, Big ten, Big twelve. ACC
Speaker 1: we're doing that, but we're not doing that with the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. And it's a shame because I don't have answers.
Speaker 1: I do have questions, I have suggestions, but it's become irrelevant.
Speaker 1: And also I brought up I'm a big proponent of
Speaker 1: you know, we should have been flexible to have an
Speaker 1: eighteen playoff this year because you could get some really
Speaker 1: interesting storylines in there. It's about money. I could get
Speaker 1: money to you know, different conferences, different schools. It could
Speaker 1: be BYU, it could be Indiana, it could be Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: And you know, if this is inevitable, why not break
Speaker 1: it out now because not everybody's gonna be able to
Speaker 1: play the same number of games. Ohio State, if they
Speaker 1: have six games, somebody else is going to have twelve
Speaker 1: eleven b YU, they'll play. They'll play it now this afternoon.
Speaker 1: They'll come over to your backyard and play. But you
Speaker 1: have some really interesting stories there. Coastal Carolina is a
Speaker 1: really interesting story. Liberty has been an interesting story. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying they can beat Alabama, but everybody wants a
Speaker 1: chance to be able to play. And if we're worried
Speaker 1: about COVID and safety, and that's why we're not doing
Speaker 1: it this year because that's what the SEC Commissioner, Jake's
Speaker 1: Greg Sankey said yesterday. Okay, and then just have one
Speaker 1: versus two, Like, let's not kill anybody here. Just do
Speaker 1: one versus two if you're worried about safety, because they
Speaker 1: don't want to have eight teams, and then what happens
Speaker 1: if a team has positive test or contact tracing and
Speaker 1: then they can't play in their playoff game. I understand
Speaker 1: all of that. But if that's the case, then just
Speaker 1: have one versus two and go back to the BCS
Speaker 1: this year pole question McLevin, Okay, the hour two pole
Speaker 1: was which QB would you want to build around Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray or Lamar Jackson? Seventy five percent Kyler Murray. Well,
Speaker 1: I understand that. You know that. That's once again, it's
Speaker 1: the newness, the freshness, the flavor of the month, flavor
Speaker 1: of this season. We've seen Lamar Jackson, we saw him
Speaker 1: at you know, at his peak being the Uniti MVP.
Speaker 1: It just feels like, you know, people still look at
Speaker 1: the Ravens and Lamar Jackson and have a question or two.
Speaker 1: And you know, Kyler Murray you can have questions about,
Speaker 1: but they're not an elite team. But I think if
Speaker 1: you were investing in a quarterback for the next five years,
Speaker 1: I think you would have a lot of And if
Speaker 1: I just said NFL people, you could have a quarterback
Speaker 1: for five years, who would it be. Is it Joe Burrow,
Speaker 1: is it Josh Allen, Kyler Murray? Obviously Patrick Mahomes, i'd
Speaker 1: have to take him out of the equation. At his age,
Speaker 1: you'd still take him for the next five years. But
Speaker 1: after that, justin Herbert, you're gonna look at that situation
Speaker 1: for the next five years. Yeah, I think. So it's this,
Speaker 1: you got the older guys and you got the newer
Speaker 1: the front, you know, the younger guys, and trying to
Speaker 1: find out who's going to be great the next five years.
Speaker 1: That's what everybody's trying to find. Let me see what
Speaker 1: else do we have here? The situation with the Rockets,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if James Harden wants out, but
Speaker 1: it feels like everybody else is dissatisfied. But I don't
Speaker 1: know why James Harden would want out. This is your house.
Speaker 1: You get to do whatever you want to do. You
Speaker 1: get to shoot whenever you want to shoot. He helped
Speaker 1: build this team. He wanted Russell Westbrook there, but Russ
Speaker 1: wants out. I guess he wants to go back to
Speaker 1: is just triple double ways and maybe play games that
Speaker 1: are not relevant. Because if he goes to the Knicks
Speaker 1: or the Bowls or the Pistons, I don't know if
Speaker 1: anybody's really gonna care. But you know, James Harden's thirty one.
Speaker 1: James Harden's got at least four or five more big years.
Speaker 1: It feels like because he doesn't rely on his speed,
Speaker 1: He's got bulk, he gets through the hoop, he's got
Speaker 1: a great handle. But you know, if I'm James Harden,
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, I'm gonna stay here. Everybody else
Speaker 1: can go. Since twenty fourteen, James Harden has been found
Speaker 1: three one hundred ninety seven times. That's five hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty two more fouls than any other player. Jannis is second.
Speaker 1: Harden has played the most minutes over that span. At
Speaker 1: some point does the wear and tear, the contact, the
Speaker 1: fouls start to wear him down. Now I think it
Speaker 1: wears him down every single year. And I never understood
Speaker 1: why they didn't have load management of all the players
Speaker 1: on all the teams. If you wanted to have load management,
Speaker 1: I would have it with James Harden because nobody carries
Speaker 1: a larger load on their shoulders every single night. Now
Speaker 1: he's asked for it, but that's where I would do
Speaker 1: load management to get him ready for the playoffs. He
Speaker 1: gets to the postseason, he looks gassed. Yeah, po. I
Speaker 1: wonder though, if they think that's what they like to do.
Speaker 1: But it's almost like we talked about that system Margament,
Speaker 1: The system is him. If he plays, you know, if
Speaker 1: he takes a night off, what does that team do?
Speaker 1: Do they get reps under false pretenses this is not
Speaker 1: the kind of basketball we're playing. Or do they end
Speaker 1: up with a seventh seed If James Harden place sixty
Speaker 1: six games. I want him healthy, rested to get to
Speaker 1: the postseason. I'm not worried about seating. I'm worried about,
Speaker 1: you know, is he ready to go in the postseason?
Speaker 1: And he always just seems like he's limping towards the
Speaker 1: finish line. Yeah, mclub. Well, remember during the pandemic, there
Speaker 1: were these Instagram pictures of him looking just yoking, and
Speaker 1: he shows up at Orlando and that was not the
Speaker 1: case at all. I brought this up earlier where Brett
Speaker 1: Farve was on First Take and he talked about the
Speaker 1: Eagles quarterbacking situation. Of course, that started a firestorm in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: So here's Brett Farve with his original comment. I actually
Speaker 1: thought that they should have kept Nick Foles rather than
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, just based off of production and where they
Speaker 1: got to. You know, they won a Super Bowl with
Speaker 1: Foles and that was a little bit surprising. But they're
Speaker 1: obviously banking on his upside. You know, how many more
Speaker 1: years do you you glett it linger before you quit him?
Speaker 1: Where you cut bait? That's a question they only can answer, Well,
Speaker 1: they're already paying him, and if you want to move
Speaker 1: on because of one game, and granted that was a
Speaker 1: great game against the Patriots, but there wasn't a whole
Speaker 1: lot of confidence in Carson Wentz or Nick Foles when
Speaker 1: those playoffs started, not at all. And he did have
Speaker 1: a great game, but that I think Nick Foles is
Speaker 1: capable of great games. I don't think he's capable of
Speaker 1: being a great quarterback. Carson Wentz was going to be
Speaker 1: the MVP until he decided to take on three of
Speaker 1: the rams trying to score a touchdown. You know, you
Speaker 1: look at the numbers here. This season, he's thrown twelve interceptions.
Speaker 1: He's been sacked thirty two times. The last time you
Speaker 1: had a player have twelve or more interceptions and be
Speaker 1: sacked at least thirty two times in his team's first
Speaker 1: eight games of his season was nineteen eighty four. Paul
Speaker 1: McDonald the left hand out of USC fourteen picks, he
Speaker 1: was sacked forty times. You know, the sacks, that's a
Speaker 1: high number. Obviously, that goes along with the interceptions. The
Speaker 1: offensive line is make shift. There. Here is Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: responding to Brett Farve talking about Carson Wentz and Nick Foles. No,
Speaker 1: Carson's our guy, Carson's our draft pick. Carson's the guy
Speaker 1: that is going to carry us and and and lead
Speaker 1: this football team. And listen, everybody's entitled to their own opinion.
Speaker 1: Those aren't Those aren't my words, those aren't Howe's words.
Speaker 1: Jeffrey's words. Those are his words. I mean that I
Speaker 1: respect that opinion on whatever he wants to say. That
Speaker 1: that's fine, and we're going to remain friends. It doesn't
Speaker 1: doesn't bother me one way or the other. All I
Speaker 1: know is that Carson Wentz is our guy. Doug Peterson
Speaker 1: was a backup to Farv in Green Bay and they
Speaker 1: are good buddies. But if I'm Doug Peterson, I would
Speaker 1: have probably just said, you know, I appreciate Brett, you know,
Speaker 1: being on TV and having opinions, and I always love,
Speaker 1: you know, hearing from bread. But you know what, maybe
Speaker 1: he could have Nick Foles being a Copperfit commercial with him.
Speaker 1: Maybe he could be the quarterback on the opposing team
Speaker 1: because far I've got Jerry Rice and now he stacked
Speaker 1: the deck against those guys. And you know, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: Nick Foles gets to be the quarterback for the other
Speaker 1: team in the Copperfit commercial. Yah, mickleb. Do you think
Speaker 1: this is an eight game tryout for Carson Wentz before
Speaker 1: they move on to Hurts next year? That's the main story.
Speaker 1: Probably so, I mean it, probably so. Hurts has looked
Speaker 1: pretty good and limited well coming down there. They're expected
Speaker 1: to be good instantly. Okay, do you want to bank
Speaker 1: your future on Jalen Hurts? I don't a lot of
Speaker 1: almost everybody. And then Jalen Hurts gets in there. Everybody
Speaker 1: loves the backup, especially in Philadelphia, we love the backup.
Speaker 1: Then Jalen Hurts gets in there and you go, man,
Speaker 1: he doesn't look like he's ready, but everybody's ready town
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, no one on earth thought he was gonna
Speaker 1: be ready, and he's completely ready. Like the trend seems
Speaker 1: to be, everyone comes into the league ready to go.
Speaker 1: I think more people had confidence in Justin Herbert being
Speaker 1: ready than they did Jalen Hurts. Right, But you I
Speaker 1: mean we know that the narrative was Herbert was raw, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was raw, and here they are, well, Josh
Speaker 1: Allen is raw and played like that. But they put
Speaker 1: him in there and kept him in there, which I
Speaker 1: applaud them for doing so that that this is a
Speaker 1: growth period with both learning on the job with their quarterback.
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen has a tone of chalon. I mean,
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts was not going to be a first or
Speaker 1: second day draft pick until he went to Oklahoma. Then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Oh my god, he might be
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick. And I thought that Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts can play in the NFL. But if you said
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts or Carson Wentz right now, I still think
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz he can be great on a consistent basis.
Speaker 1: Nick Foles cannot. I mean Nick Foles is holding on
Speaker 1: in Chicago for God's sakes. I mean, come on, and
Speaker 1: he's got Mitch Drubiski behind him. And then Farve says, well,
Speaker 1: they should have stayed with Nick Foles based off of
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. What did Nick Foles do in Jacksonville? Like,
Speaker 1: come on, I mean I'd rather have Farve as my
Speaker 1: quarterback right now? The Bears, Yes, yes, stir it up.
Speaker 1: I mean this is crazy. Yeah, let me take a break.
Speaker 1: We got head coach of the Ohio State Buckets, Ryan Day.
Speaker 1: Also a fascinating story on the sand at Augusta. Why
Speaker 1: is it it looks like a bowl of sugar every
Speaker 1: time you're in it. I mean I wasn't in it
Speaker 1: that often when I played Augusta those two times. But
Speaker 1: when I was, I was like, oh okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: a bowl of sugar here where they get that sand
Speaker 1: and how important it is to Augusta because there's no
Speaker 1: other sand like it. It feels like it's like the
Speaker 1: Dodgers home uniforms are so bright where you go. How
Speaker 1: did they do that? Yeah, Paully, do you think we
Speaker 1: can get some of that master sand? Is it available
Speaker 1: for purchasing? You don't have to steal it from the property.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, somebody tried to steal sand from Augusta
Speaker 1: one of the traps. Twenty thousand dollars. Fine, that's sixteen
Speaker 1: after the hour. Back after this, Dan Patrick Show, Time

Speaker 1: like it's open season. Who wants Russell Westbrook? Just saw
Speaker 1: a tweet from the website Stadium The Hornets have emerged
Speaker 1: as a potential suitor for Russell Westbrook. Sources tell our
Speaker 1: NBA insider, I've heard Clippers, Pistons, Bowls, Grizzlies, and now
Speaker 1: the Hornets for Russell Westbrook and if he wants out
Speaker 1: of the culture of Houston, does he want to go
Speaker 1: to the Bulls and reunite with Billy Donovan? Does he
Speaker 1: want to go to Pistons? Well, basically play a faceless
Speaker 1: organization there Memphis with John Morant. Yeah, McLevin. Who's on
Speaker 1: the Hornets nowadays? Is Kamenski? Is our guy? Kamensky still there?
Speaker 1: I don't know if Frank Kamenski is still there. I
Speaker 1: don't know. If that's what I would start with. I
Speaker 1: would lead with, Oh, who's on the Hornets, Frank Kaminski
Speaker 1: since Kemba left there? Yeah, I mean maybe that makes
Speaker 1: sense to give him a face something to watch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah, Paul I did not expect to be
Speaker 1: playing No your Hornets to do an so I'm not
Speaker 1: that prepped. But Davante Graham, he appears to be playing
Speaker 1: for that team, Okay, Harry Rosier, Okay, Miles Bridges, PJ. Washington,
Speaker 1: rememberment Kentucky Kentucky big Man. Yeah, there's a Seller brother
Speaker 1: of course. How many Zeller brothers are there in the NBA? Yes? Time, Um,
Speaker 1: I just saw a coach a day sit down from
Speaker 1: his meeting. Oh, Okay, let's bring in the Ohio State
Speaker 1: head coach Ryan Day in his second full season. It's
Speaker 1: the Buckeyes head coach. Coach, thanks for joining us. What
Speaker 1: game film are you looking at today? Oh, we got
Speaker 1: in early and we started on the Hoosiers, so it
Speaker 1: just give us a few extra days. I guess it's
Speaker 1: it's been crazy, it's been frustrating, but uh, you know,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna move forward and worry about what we
Speaker 1: can control. And Indiana, when did you hear the news
Speaker 1: that the game at Maryland was canceled? Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes before our team meeting. We always meet
Speaker 1: it two thirty, you know, for team meetings each day,
Speaker 1: and about fifteen minutes before, you know, Jean let me know,
Speaker 1: and so we really had the information of the team
Speaker 1: and um, yeah, just a tough day for our guys.
Speaker 1: If you could schedule a replacement game, would you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because I look back at Nebraska coach, and I was
Speaker 1: told that there are other schools in the Big Ten
Speaker 1: that said, hey, you know what, we may be facing
Speaker 1: this scenario as well, that a game would be canceled
Speaker 1: and you need to have that resume bulked up a
Speaker 1: little bit. Were you in favor of Nebraska being able
Speaker 1: to play somebody outside the Big Ten if a game
Speaker 1: was canceled, Yeah, I was. You know, actually I said
Speaker 1: that publicly, but especially when it's hard to look at
Speaker 1: your team in the eye and tell them they can't
Speaker 1: play when they've done everything you've asked them to do.
Speaker 1: I guess you chalk it up to twenty twenty. I
Speaker 1: know it's not as easy as just saying, hey, let's
Speaker 1: just go schedule a game. There's a lot of implications
Speaker 1: and different things that have to go into play. So
Speaker 1: I totally respect that, but certainly would be in favor
Speaker 1: of trying to figure out a way to get it done.
Speaker 1: But I also understand the complexity of it all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was wondering if you coaches had been able
Speaker 1: to talk to the Big Ten about this, or can
Speaker 1: you have a conversation now because you may run into
Speaker 1: this another time before the Big Ten title the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we had a lot of conversations leading up
Speaker 1: to the season, weekly meetings with the Big Ten coaches.
Speaker 1: I mean so many zoom calls. I don't even know
Speaker 1: how many we had, but it was a lot. But
Speaker 1: that once you get into the season. It's hard because
Speaker 1: just all of your attention and time goes to winning
Speaker 1: the next game, getting the guys ready for practice. So
Speaker 1: it's hard to carve out time to have these type
Speaker 1: of conversations. We could pretty much leave that up to
Speaker 1: the ads administrators. It just your time gets tough during
Speaker 1: during the week, you've got a good sense of how
Speaker 1: good your team is. Not really no, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think we have a chance, but without having spring ball,
Speaker 1: without having preseason, without the non conference games, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of snaps that our team didn't have, and so
Speaker 1: we're trying to play catch up and get going with
Speaker 1: these snaps, and so I don't know. I think we
Speaker 1: have a chance. I think we have some talent, but
Speaker 1: we need to play. We need to play games. We
Speaker 1: need to make mistakes, we need to work through those
Speaker 1: things and learn, and we're you know, the only way
Speaker 1: to do it right now, for us to play a
Speaker 1: little bit of a a catch up is to practice better
Speaker 1: and practice against each other. Nothing to you know, replace
Speaker 1: his games, but we got to do everything we can
Speaker 1: in our power to practice and make sure every rep
Speaker 1: and practice is a game rep. But you know, I
Speaker 1: think this game this week looking forward to to to
Speaker 1: Maryland was an opportunity to take the next step. We'll
Speaker 1: just have to keep working and and take that next
Speaker 1: step against Indiana. What did you think of Tonga by Law?
Speaker 1: You know, I thought he was playing well the last
Speaker 1: couple of games. I think, you know, they did a
Speaker 1: great job of getting the ball out of his hand quickly,
Speaker 1: especially in the last two games. I think he's got
Speaker 1: some pretty talented receivers um and he just kind of
Speaker 1: has a little bit of that in factor and it
Speaker 1: was going to be you know, we're looking forward to
Speaker 1: playing them, but a lot of respect for that family.
Speaker 1: They're Ye, there's something magical about those He's Ryan Day,
Speaker 1: the Ohio State head coach. If a scout called and
Speaker 1: said tell me what Justin Field's best trade is, what
Speaker 1: would you say. I think that's what makes him special
Speaker 1: is there's there's several I think when you look at
Speaker 1: him physically, he's he's big, he's strong, and he's fast.
Speaker 1: He's got a strong arm. But he has some some
Speaker 1: justinity accuracy that is special. And you know, I don't
Speaker 1: you can't teach things like that. He's just he sees
Speaker 1: it to make sense to him. Spaces make sense to him,
Speaker 1: he can anticipate what his receivers and defenders are doing,
Speaker 1: so accuracy is big. But then he also is very
Speaker 1: very intelligent, and he can, you know, take a meeting
Speaker 1: to the field pretty quickly. So I think all of
Speaker 1: those things combine is what makes him special. I had
Speaker 1: a scout tell me it's hard to assess Ohio State
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and not just Ohio State but other programs, because
Speaker 1: there's so much talent around them. Is that a fair
Speaker 1: I don't know if you get this or you will
Speaker 1: get this. I don't I watched Dwayne Haskins against Michigan
Speaker 1: at home. Those receivers were wide. Oh. I mean it
Speaker 1: felt like he could do whatever he wanted. I didn't
Speaker 1: know how to assess how good he was or is.
Speaker 1: And I think Justin Fields will probably go through that
Speaker 1: as well. Can you see where scouts are gonna go
Speaker 1: How good is he, but how good is the team
Speaker 1: around him? I mean, I think we have a lot
Speaker 1: of talent, and I think that you know, we do
Speaker 1: have good pieces around them. But that's um, that's why
Speaker 1: the scouts get paid a lot of money. It's the
Speaker 1: same thing when we recruited quarterbacks in high school, they
Speaker 1: come from a good program. You got to project the
Speaker 1: best you can and try to figure that part of
Speaker 1: it out. But um, but we do. You're right, we
Speaker 1: have good players around and that certainly helps. What do
Speaker 1: you look for though? Is it tougher do you think
Speaker 1: to see a quarterback playing in the NFL or quarterback
Speaker 1: playing in college when you're when you're recruiting. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: that's a great question. I think the high school part
Speaker 1: is probably the hardest because we don't get to spend
Speaker 1: as much time with them. Where in college, you know,
Speaker 1: these guys come in, they work them out, They really
Speaker 1: spend time with them, They get to know them. They
Speaker 1: can really do anything they want with them. Physically, they
Speaker 1: can the scouts go and watch them play in games.
Speaker 1: We don't and especially now with with everything going on
Speaker 1: with COVID, um, we don't get to see these guys
Speaker 1: play live. Really, we don't get to work them out either. Um,
Speaker 1: we're lucky if they come to our camp and then
Speaker 1: we just try to do the best we can to
Speaker 1: figure out who they are as people and watch their film.
Speaker 1: So I think it's a it's a lot easier to
Speaker 1: project them into the NFL. Now they still have to
Speaker 1: go play man. There's there's a lot to goes with that,
Speaker 1: and that's not easy. So it's not easy for either situation.
Speaker 1: But it's it's hard in college because you just you
Speaker 1: don't really get to go work people out, You don't
Speaker 1: get to evaluate them in that manner, and so it's
Speaker 1: it's difficult. Your players know that you played quarterback in college.
Speaker 1: Some of them do. I don't think all of them.
Speaker 1: I don't think some of them know exactly play it either,
Speaker 1: but but some of them certainly do. What kind of
Speaker 1: quarterback were you at New Hampshire? UM? Probably Chip would
Speaker 1: probably describe maybe as an overachiever, great athlete. UM had
Speaker 1: to figure out ways to make it work because it
Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't as talent as some of the other
Speaker 1: guys UM, which is makes sense probably why I'm a
Speaker 1: coach trying to figure out the angles and in a
Speaker 1: way to try to find an advantage. So but uh,
Speaker 1: the first three years of playing was was the first
Speaker 1: three years of Chip being that the uh, you know,
Speaker 1: a coordinator and kind of on the no huddle and
Speaker 1: the spread was it was kind of in its infancy,
Speaker 1: and so I was a guinea pig. Some some days
Speaker 1: it worked, some days not so good so and I
Speaker 1: have some of the scars to show, but but it
Speaker 1: was fun to be around it. And the Chip you're
Speaker 1: talking about, of course, is Chip Kelly, who was offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator there at New Hampshire. How often, like on a
Speaker 1: daily basis, how often do you hear about Michigan A lot?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just part of our life, I think not,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of being an isolation of your home
Speaker 1: and then being in the woody here it's a little different.
Speaker 1: You don't get to see as many people anymore, you know,
Speaker 1: but like last year, how how how often you're on
Speaker 1: the street, your grocery store or wherever you are, how
Speaker 1: often you're hearing about Michigan. Yeah, that's all. That's every day.
Speaker 1: It's it's that my sons bus stop, it's my wife
Speaker 1: goes to the grocery store. I mean, it's it's every day.
Speaker 1: I love it, but I grew up with it, but
Speaker 1: I don't have to hear it every day like you do.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's uh, it's the number one thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: your number one job when you get here is to
Speaker 1: be the team of the North and then everything comes
Speaker 1: after that and so yeah, the anxiety builds you get
Speaker 1: closer to the game, for sure. Well, he got a
Speaker 1: lot of time to figure out Indiana there, and thanks
Speaker 1: for joining his coach. We appreciate your time. Good luck
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Well thanks, thanks great being here.
Speaker 1: That's Ryan Day, Ohio State head football coach. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: was there with Chip Kelly at the New Hampshire. Well,
Speaker 1: this program brought to you by Mercedes. What do you
Speaker 1: get when you cross the Mercedes Sedan Cooper SUV with
Speaker 1: a race car, you get Mercedes AMG. That's what it's
Speaker 1: all about. No other way to say it, but OMG, AMG,
Speaker 1: Mercedes AMG Driving Performance MBUSA dot Com AMG. You imagine
Speaker 1: you're waiting, you're going to prepare for Maryland. And Maryland
Speaker 1: has been good. They've been competitive and to his brother,
Speaker 1: is exciting. And now you go, wait a minute, we're
Speaker 1: not playing. You can't schedule anybody, and now you gotta
Speaker 1: spend a whole lot more time on Indiana. That'll be
Speaker 1: the game coming up next weekend yeapone hypothetical. Let's say
Speaker 1: the Big Ten gave the green light to Ohio State
Speaker 1: yesterday to go out and schedule whoever's available. And if
Speaker 1: you were Ryan da and the athletic director to Ohio
Speaker 1: State and you could call BYU and invite them to
Speaker 1: the Shoe to Columbus for a game, would you call
Speaker 1: BYU or is that too risky? And you'd be better
Speaker 1: off saying now we won't play this weekend too soon,
Speaker 1: not enough time. But both teams have the same amount
Speaker 1: of prep time. You'd think that Ohio State would would
Speaker 1: roll them based on talent. They'll be YU was a
Speaker 1: very good team, but they got more to lose. Yeah,
Speaker 1: BYU don't have ating to lose. I mean they they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: we'll play anybody anywhere. Ohio State preparing for Maryland and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're gonna be playing you know,
Speaker 1: EYU and getting ready for a quarterback who's a first
Speaker 1: rounder raft pick. You know, these coaches, it's all about procedure,
Speaker 1: like this is repetition, this is habitual, this is what
Speaker 1: we do every day. And he said, look, I would
Speaker 1: like to do it, but you know, trying to get
Speaker 1: somebody and make sure that they're they want to do
Speaker 1: it and then we get ready for them. I think
Speaker 1: we're going to see this later in this season, but
Speaker 1: we might see this with other conferences. It's not going
Speaker 1: to happen in the Big ten. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: going to happen in the PAC twelve, but I do
Speaker 1: think Big twelve SEC acc if you can squeeze in
Speaker 1: another quality opponent and somehow jump up maybe the fourth
Speaker 1: team in the country now, then why not. I'd certainly
Speaker 1: do it. Tom and Colorado. Hey Tom, what's on your
Speaker 1: mind today? Hey Dan? I want to talk about the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve and they're relevant. Okay, you talked about earlier
Speaker 1: in the week. I think rather than playing on a
Speaker 1: different day of the week, what if the BCS, which
Speaker 1: I think is actually destroyed football college football, because now
Speaker 1: you have about five teams that athletes truly want to
Speaker 1: go play for, five or six teams. You know, they
Speaker 1: want to go to those schools that happened to be
Speaker 1: in the BCS. Happened to be they earned their way.
Speaker 1: Let's be realistic in the BCS Championship. Unfortunately, I think
Speaker 1: for the PAC twelve, I think the premier team is USC.
Speaker 1: They've got hit with the sanctions from the College Football
Speaker 1: right as the BCS Championship came into being, and once
Speaker 1: that happened, and the BCS they said, oh, these are
Speaker 1: the four you know, these are the teams that are
Speaker 1: going to the championship. But SC has no point, no
Speaker 1: chance to go for this many years. I think kids
Speaker 1: started saying, hey, I'm just going to go to those
Speaker 1: other schools. Understandably, I get that. Okay, So how do
Speaker 1: you make the PAC twelve relevant here? So I think
Speaker 1: my thought is, and I think we all know what's
Speaker 1: going to go to this point, is you have to
Speaker 1: expand the BCS to eight teams and give the Power
Speaker 1: five all an automatic bid and then have three at
Speaker 1: large bids. I know it sounds fair and thank you, Tom,
Speaker 1: But do I want to just give one to the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve like it does? The PAC twelve deserve one
Speaker 1: this year. Let's just say we did it this year.
Speaker 1: Pack twelve doesn't deserve anything right now, Like a team
Speaker 1: goes four and one, five and one and then they
Speaker 1: have an automatic birth. I think we're headed in that
Speaker 1: direction where you just say, hey, the Power five conferences,
Speaker 1: you have one team that is represented. Now is that
Speaker 1: going to be fair? Let's say your best team is
Speaker 1: ninth and you're going to take the top eight teams.
Speaker 1: But that's what's going to happen. And then you're going
Speaker 1: to have controversy, and make no mistake about it, college
Speaker 1: football loves when you talk college football, even if there's
Speaker 1: a controversy about this, absolutely arguing who should be in
Speaker 1: who shouldn't be in. But if you start to do
Speaker 1: the the SEC is not going to go for this.
Speaker 1: The SEC is going to go, wait, we got one
Speaker 1: automatic birth and then we got to get one other
Speaker 1: team in there, one other school in there. The SEC
Speaker 1: is not in the business of helping other schools other
Speaker 1: conferences here, as PAULI likes to say, SEC, when it
Speaker 1: comes to helping the other conferences here, we'll be down here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have no interest in doing that. But I think
Speaker 1: we're headed in that direction. It's like the NFL is
Speaker 1: going to expand their playoffs. Baseball did basketball, did hockey did?
Speaker 1: They're all doing that. College football will inevitably get there.
Speaker 1: I just don't know what the model is going to
Speaker 1: look like. I still think the power of five schools
Speaker 1: should seceed from the NCAA and just say, look, we
Speaker 1: got five conferences, sixty schools, these are the best. This
Speaker 1: has grown up football, and we keep all the money
Speaker 1: in here. Yeah, mcclubban. I hate to even ask, but
Speaker 1: is there any chance that this we don't end the season?
Speaker 1: You know there's always that possibility. Yeah. Absolutely, But you
Speaker 1: know now that that's part of the reason why they
Speaker 1: don't want to expand to eight teams eight schools, because
Speaker 1: they don't want to have a school say, oh we
Speaker 1: we can't play in the first round or second round.
Speaker 1: You know that you have an outbreak here, yeah, MC club. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, like we're just talking on this sider glass.
Speaker 1: If Ohio State, if they canceled the Indiana game, they're
Speaker 1: out of the conference side old game at certain point,
Speaker 1: and a SEC has another weekend like this weekend, like
Speaker 1: the calendars running out. But all of this is based
Speaker 1: off of Halloween parties, aween contact tracing. That's what this is.
Speaker 1: That's the outbreak here. That's what I was told. Source said.
Speaker 1: This is based off of parties. You get past this,
Speaker 1: kids go home for Thanksgiving, then you're good to go.
Speaker 1: You've got to survive two more weeks here, and some
Speaker 1: schools are shutting down early. But if you can get
Speaker 1: through the next two weeks, then I think you're going
Speaker 1: to be I don't want to say home free, but
Speaker 1: I think you're going to be able to exhale of
Speaker 1: trying to get this season in and then the students
Speaker 1: aren't coming back until after the season is over. And
Speaker 1: I think that's the big hurdle. And that's why I
Speaker 1: wondered if let's say the SEC or Big ten or
Speaker 1: Pact twelve said we're gonna maybe not the SEC, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna start Thanksgiving weekend and then we're just going
Speaker 1: to play our games. And I know broadcast partners may
Speaker 1: not like this, and we may run into a competitian
Speaker 1: with the NFL. Okay, but this makes the most sense
Speaker 1: for the safety of everybody, the business of this. We
Speaker 1: get the games in, and yes, we'll compete with the NFL,
Speaker 1: or we may lose some valuable primetime games or coverage.
Speaker 1: But this would allow us to have football players on
Speaker 1: campus when there are no other students on campus. Because
Speaker 1: from what I'm told and people we know on campuses
Speaker 1: around the country, two people who've said this same thing.
Speaker 1: This has to do with Halloween parties, contact tracing, take
Speaker 1: a break, last call for phone calls. What we learned,
Speaker 1: what's in store tomorrow after this? Thanks for listening. To
Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be sure to catch us
Speaker 1: live every weekday morning nine until noon eastern six to
Speaker 1: nine Pacific on Fox Sports Radio, and you can find
Speaker 1: us on the iHeartRadio app at FSR or stream us
Speaker 1: live on the Peacock app. A couple of members of
Speaker 1: the Mother's Ship, Scott Van Pelt Reese Davis College game
Speaker 1: Day will be in Augusta at the Masters, and no
Speaker 1: football in the South being played this weekend, so Rhys
Speaker 1: Davis will join us in. Scott van Pelt as well.
Speaker 1: I've been sitting on this story because we thought we
Speaker 1: were going to get a guest that maybe could talk
Speaker 1: about this. Sad Farmer of the La Times had an
Speaker 1: article about the white sand traps at the Masters. They
Speaker 1: have forty four bunkers at Augusta and for the last
Speaker 1: fifty years they've been filling the sand with this white
Speaker 1: sand that they get a four hour drive from Augusta
Speaker 1: up north in a small town called Spruce Pine, and
Speaker 1: they find that they've got this sand that they make
Speaker 1: that makes it look like sugar bowls. So they used
Speaker 1: to get train cars, thirteen train cars that haul coal
Speaker 1: they would bring in this white sand. But because they
Speaker 1: had coal in the train cars that would dull the
Speaker 1: white sand, and they eventually brought in new train cars
Speaker 1: to bring the sand into Augusta every year, and it's
Speaker 1: a special sand that they make and only in this place.
Speaker 1: They actually ship it to Dubai. And as one of
Speaker 1: the people there say, we actually are so good we
Speaker 1: sell sand to somebody in the desert. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's the brightest sand in the world according to Tiger Woods. Yes, bone,
Speaker 1: I was reading about this sand. And it's processed so
Speaker 1: it's not round, it's more like chips, and like a
Speaker 1: little bit of chips. So the clubhead plays better off it,
Speaker 1: and the ball plays better off it. And for some
Speaker 1: reason it has less drag or something on the ball
Speaker 1: and the club and to make it more natural feel.
Speaker 1: But can you imagine, like if like a d agent
Speaker 1: pulled over that train ten thousand pounds of white sand
Speaker 1: on its way to Augusta. Let's going on here, guys,
Speaker 1: for the masters doesn't Yeah, I think it's wider than cocaine.
Speaker 1: But those bunkers stand out that it's vibrant when when
Speaker 1: you're there, and I'm not in the bunker very often
Speaker 1: in Augusta, But for those you are like Tiger and
Speaker 1: some of the other guys. You know, they tell me, um,
Speaker 1: you can't get spin on your ball out of there,
Speaker 1: but it is. It is fluffy. It's a great lie
Speaker 1: in there. It's not like you get buried, you know,
Speaker 1: shots in the bunker buried. Lie. But I wasn't there
Speaker 1: very often. The lie is you not going in the
Speaker 1: bunker often. Wow, Todd, that's a shot. How to sneaks
Speaker 1: up there? Five minutes? I got Wow, you were almost
Speaker 1: twelve minutes from a perfect show. Almost it took a shot,
Speaker 1: Yeah you did it, took my swing. You took a shot,
Speaker 1: all right? Um, so I mentioned what's happening this day,
Speaker 1: all this day sports history. I didn't have that. Todd
Speaker 1: had his snoreboard, but Paulie's got some. Besides, it's al
Speaker 1: Michael's birthday, which is fantastic. Happy Birthday. In nineteen sixty seven,
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions fumble ten times in one game and times
Speaker 1: your Alliance Dan. Nineteen fifty three, the NFL policy of
Speaker 1: blacking out home games was upheld by a federal judge
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, a district judge in Philadelphia. What's up, Holmes?
Speaker 1: And people don't remember there was a time when if
Speaker 1: your team didn't sell at home games, you couldn't watch
Speaker 1: it locally. Yeah. Nineteen thirty three in Philadelphia also the
Speaker 1: first Sunday football game was played. It was not allowed
Speaker 1: to play football on Sunday before that. And then in
Speaker 1: eighteen ninety two, William Heffelfinger, his name was Pudge, became
Speaker 1: the first professional football player. He was paid a five
Speaker 1: hundred dollar bonus for helping out a team called Allegheny
Speaker 1: Athletic Association beat the Pittsburgh Athletic Club. So that sellout Heffelfinger, Yeah, Pudge,
Speaker 1: I like it. Final results of the poll question, mclub,
Speaker 1: who you building where on Kyler Murray or Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: seventy two percent Kyler Murray Man, Well, he has played
Speaker 1: well and you wait to see if that at that
Speaker 1: position you take the next step. And that's what happened
Speaker 1: with Mahomes, That's what happened with Lamar Jackson. And that's
Speaker 1: why you had people who bet on these kind of
Speaker 1: things saying, is it Josh Allen, where is it going
Speaker 1: to be Kyla Murray? Are they going to take the
Speaker 1: next step and then maybe be an MVP Kyle and
Speaker 1: California's back. Hi, Kyle, what's on your mind today? A DP.
Speaker 1: It's also Russell Westwork's birthday today, Yeah, the birthday Russ
Speaker 1: The Hornets are interested in Yeah, but you know, I
Speaker 1: don't you know, if you're one of the all the Pistons,
Speaker 1: the Hawks, the Hornets, these are the only teams with
Speaker 1: the huge cap market available, you know, why not sign
Speaker 1: a star like that? Make your franchise a little interesting.
Speaker 1: Any contender who gets us, I mean, he's not shaping
Speaker 1: the championship landscape. And then one quick thing on the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve VP. I don't know, if you're an ACC
Speaker 1: or a Big ten guy, why you'd be so happy
Speaker 1: all you have are Clemson in Ohio State. Every other
Speaker 1: team in those two conferences are just with the PAC twelve. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a PAC twelve defender out here, but
Speaker 1: I don't see the big difference between the rest of
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, the rest of the ACC and the
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. Excluding Ohio State and Clemson, it's the same
Speaker 1: five teams every year for the playoff. I mean, what
Speaker 1: do we talk about? Oh, I don't have anything against
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve. If anything, I fight for the PAC
Speaker 1: twelve I want them to be relevant. I know that
Speaker 1: against the PAC twelve. I had two kids that went
Speaker 1: to USC, so I have, you know, no skin in
Speaker 1: the game. I helped fund the PAC twelve. They owe you. Yes,
Speaker 1: I want them to be relevant, damn it. I spend
Speaker 1: good money there. Make me proud, make my kids proud
Speaker 1: that they went to a school that still plays good
Speaker 1: football there. I don't I don't care about the Big
Speaker 1: ten or the ACC. I just tell you whatever the
Speaker 1: story is, I don't root. Gosh, if you read into
Speaker 1: it that much and you're not listen closely enough, I
Speaker 1: want the pack. What did I say when I retired, Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get defensive. I wanted to go
Speaker 1: to Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State. I wanted to
Speaker 1: go to those games. And you're planning to this October. No,
Speaker 1: I was not. When I retire, I was going to
Speaker 1: convince my wife. We get our air stream and we
Speaker 1: go to these tailgates at some of these schools that
Speaker 1: I never got to go. And see. That's all. So
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like somebody who goes, oh man, I'm
Speaker 1: anti PAC twelve. Yes, and how pumped was your wife
Speaker 1: to go? Do that oh she is. Oh, yes, she
Speaker 1: just wants to go camping. Get the airstream out there,
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, mclen even Pullman, Washington and Corvallis. Yes, Yes,
Speaker 1: I'd be fascinated to go there and see those towns. Yes.
Speaker 1: And the smaller the better. Absolutely. So that's that's one
Speaker 1: of the two, you know, items on my to do
Speaker 1: list when I retire is get the airstream and go
Speaker 1: to out to the Pacific Northwest and then down the coast. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the airstream has five beds, correct, it has one?
Speaker 1: He said, you can't wait for us to do this us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your wife get the master of course it has one
Speaker 1: called it. Yeah, got it. But I can. I can
Speaker 1: trick it out, and I can get some more bedding
Speaker 1: in there. Sleep number. Maybe they make some really small
Speaker 1: like kids bunk beds. Yeah, mclub. I kind of feel
Speaker 1: bad for you thinking you can get rid of us.
Speaker 1: It's very comical. I happened, I know. I know. It's
Speaker 1: like Howard Stern's gonna face this with his you know,
Speaker 1: his group. They're never going to leave him because they
Speaker 1: have no place to go. Yeah, Seed, we could take
Speaker 1: shifts driving. It'll be fun. Yeah, I can't wait. Uh
Speaker 1: would you learn today? Todd? You insist the PAC twelve
Speaker 1: moved games to Wednesday so they can own the night,
Speaker 1: have highlights and discussion of the PAC twelve. You need
Speaker 1: a standalone. You need somebody talking about you. H mcclub.
Speaker 1: Ryan Day said he was an overachiever quarterback at University
Speaker 1: of New Hampshire and seed do O'Connor. Most of Ryan
Speaker 1: Day's players know that he played quarterback. Paulie. Ryan Day
