1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: It's week nine in the Pack twelve, and of course

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna break down all the games, tell you who's

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna win, who's gonna lose, and business. Business is booming

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: in the Transfer Portal. In the Pack twelve, we're gonna

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: go over all the TV ratings for the best games

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: of the year and the Pack twelve players of the Week.

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: Arizona makes a very curious announcement and Mike Leach is

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: talking again, but he's not tweeting at least. I'm George

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Rice Stir with Ralph Ampston in this Pact twelve aposts

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: Ralph is gonna be another interesting week of picking winners

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: and losers in the Pack twelve. It is not gonna

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: be easy again, but guess what, I'm gonna do it,

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: and I'm going to win again this week. I'm just

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: letting you know that upfront, Sir. I am always amazed

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: at how confident that you can be in this conference

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: week after week. But I mean, yeah, let's go. My

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: My confidence is never shaken. I'm like Kobe, I'd rather

18
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: go I'll go over thirty before I go over twelve.

19
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: I like it. Um So, business is booming into Transfer

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: Portal people. It was kind of traditional. It's not very old,

21
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: but it had been an offseason deal. You know, players

22
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: want to transfer for whatever reason, which I don't have

23
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: a problem with. Sometimes I think that they're handlers and

24
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: the kids that get a little soft and they don't

25
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: and they run away from competition. But sometimes it's justified

26
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: and I like it. But now we're kind of seeing

27
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: the how the transfer portal is settling in and we're

28
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: seeing some senior players who play this true freshman who

29
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: obviously they were excited about it at that point in time,

30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: but now come back their seniors, they're graduating and they

31
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to transfer to a place where maybe

32
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: they're playing more, which I absolutely love and I don't mind.

33
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: But business is booming route it is um that there's

34
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: a lot of I think, unintended consequences of of this.

35
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: It reminds me, I don't know if you've ever seen

36
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: this where um, there's that video where they reintroduce wolves

37
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: back into Yellowstone like twenty years ago, and it's like

38
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: a ten twelve minute video and it shows how every

39
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: single thing in Yellowstone change because wolves are back, like

40
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: the way the river's flow is different, like every single thing. Yes, yes,

41
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy. It's every single thing is reshaped by

42
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: introducing one element, and it was a bunch of stuff

43
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: that there's no way that they could have predicted. That's

44
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: not to say that it's it's bad or good. I mean,

45
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: in the cases of Wolves and Yellowstone, it's been mostly good.

46
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: But like in the case of this train, it's reportal.

47
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: We're witnessing things that I don't think that at least

48
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: I maybe wasn't smart enough to predict. We're witnessing people

49
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: go out and ball out in their first couple of

50
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: games at the FCS level, be major major factors on

51
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: their team, be primary contributors, and then say, oh, I'm good,

52
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: maybe I should see if I can go somewhere that

53
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: has a bigger stage, and then quit the team three

54
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: games four games into the season. So like we're seeing

55
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: that on the FCS level, and then on the FPS level,

56
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: we're seeing people jump in after just not having played

57
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: because the transfer portal gives them the opportunity to communicate

58
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: with other schools to kind of gauge whether whether or

59
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: not there's that interest out there. And I think it's

60
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a while before there's that overcorrection of where

61
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: there's more people transferring than there are spots to transfer too,

62
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: because the penalties on transferring are still pretty much the

63
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: same UM. So unless that's addressed by the NC double A,

64
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: or unless the scholarship limit is addressed by the n

65
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: C double A, we might see some rough consequences because,

66
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: like in the case of Arizona State, they had four

67
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: guys who weren't playing announced that they were leaving. Well

68
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: won the kicker, obviously that was a different scenario, but

69
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 1: they had three other guys that that UM that weren't

70
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: playing that announced their intent to transfer. That puts a

71
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: s U at fifty three non senior scholarship players. So

72
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: Herm Edwards said that he wanted an NFL model. Well,

73
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: now you got it. You've got fifty three dudes who

74
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: aren't seniors on scholarship. It's gonna take them two years

75
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: to get back to the five limit. And that's even

76
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: if teams can get back to eighty five nowadays with

77
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: the amount that people are moving around. So I think

78
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to see a bunch of changes to

79
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: the rules of how many people you can bring in.

80
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see changes to the rules of

81
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: how many scholarships maybe you're allowed to have on your

82
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: team any given time, or you might even see changes

83
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: to the amount of time that somebody has to sit out.

84
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: Either way, I just think that there's more happening than

85
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 1: then double a anticipated when they said the trans report

86
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: was going to be a thing, or even the four

87
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: game red shirt thing was was gonna, you know, help

88
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: the players, um, help coaches get some players into the

89
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: game and stem transfers. I think it's actually adding to

90
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: the transfer numbers. I will first of all, with the

91
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: four game thing, I love that. I love the four

92
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: game thing because I think that it I believe that

93
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: it raises the level of Pack twelve play and of

94
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: college football play overall, because when players get in as

95
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: true freshman but still are able to red shirt, they

96
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: get experienced. So then when they turn around and are

97
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: able to play as red shirt freshman, then they've already

98
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: been in the game. You don't have those nerves. And

99
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: also it helps the teams with their with their depth

100
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: charts because to stem injuries throughout the year. Because if

101
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: you're a team that's either banged up in the beginning

102
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: of the season, the middle of the season, you can

103
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: have some freshman play without burning their red shirt and

104
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: hurting your team necessarily for the future. But the n

105
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: C Double A is already trying to stop the grad

106
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: well to penalize teams for graduate transfers. This is this

107
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: is guys who have already graduated, like the kid at

108
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: Oregon is doing Brendon Schooler. Theyll he started out as

109
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,559
Speaker 1: a safety as a true freshman. I think he led

110
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: the conference or one is one of the conference leaders

111
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: and interceptions. Next year they changed his position to wide

112
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: receiver and he's been wide receiver since and he's been okay,

113
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: but he hadn't had a ton of production, but he

114
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: had been a starter. And this year he gets he

115
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: gets hurt. But we'll go over that in a second. So,

116
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: but the n C Double A has said that they

117
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: want to for grad transfers, that they want that scholarship

118
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: that they get to count for two years instead of

119
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: only one season. So even after the players eligibility is

120
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: done if they're a one year grad transfer because sometimes

121
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: there are two years but not very often, that they

122
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: can then count the scholarship for two years. So the

123
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: team would then be penalized and wouldn't have a player available,

124
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 1: but a scholarship would count, which I think is stupid

125
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: and and hopefully the n C Double A doesn't get

126
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: that pass because truth be told, they already have enough

127
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: headaches in in their you know, mind fields going off

128
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: with the name, image likeness and figuring that out. Then

129
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: to be getting into business of transfers and portals and

130
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: all of that, because guess what, they're gonna end up

131
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: in more litigation if they do that. Um, but I

132
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: think I think grad transfers should get an extra year

133
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: of eligibility. Like if you if there were two years

134
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: that you didn't play and you graduate from college, which

135
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: was your job as a student athlete in the first place, Ah,

136
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: then you should get one of those years back. I mean,

137
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: we see Brady White at Memphis, and I know it

138
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: was due to injury, but he's going to get a

139
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: sixth year, so he would have been at a s

140
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: U for three years in Memphis for three years, and

141
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: he'll be a three year starter at Memphis. I think

142
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: that they don't care about the Yeah, I know, I know,

143
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: I know. I just think I think that if they're

144
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: going to make a scholarship count for two years, then

145
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: give him another year of eligibility, especially if there were

146
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: two years at the college that they're leaving where they

147
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: did not play. Yeah, the way you can actually institute

148
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: that rule, but you can give it back to you

149
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: can give it back to the player in the form

150
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: of extra eligibility, and that way, I'm I mean that

151
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: that way, maybe coaches will be a little more cautious.

152
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: But again, every single thing has reactions that were not

153
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: necessarily anticipating. Um, I the four game thing. I didn't

154
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: expect coaches to start shelving players. We're hearing accusations that

155
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: coaches are realizing that, hey, we're not that good next

156
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,239
Speaker 1: year and approaching some of the upper classmen and saying, hey, um,

157
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: you know, maybe your NFL draft grades aren't that great.

158
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: You know, how about we shut it down this year,

159
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: bring you back next year, and stocked upon so that

160
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: when we come back next year, we're coming back strong.

161
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what Houston's coach Dana Holderson was accused

162
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: of by one of his grad transfers, was asking seniors

163
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: to to to red shirt and declaring this a rebuilding year. So,

164
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I never would have anticipated that that would

165
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: have been a thing. Every single rule that comes into

166
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: place has all these unintended consequences, and there just doesn't

167
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: seem to be a lot of foresight or anticipation of

168
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: how rules could be, not misused, but used in ways

169
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: that they that they weren't looking for. Yeah, see, I

170
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: don't it's weird because so with the Dana hog or something.

171
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't like that only because it's so unfair, like

172
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: you're you're essentially tanking, and it's unfair to those to

173
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: to the people who to everybody else on the team.

174
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: But at the same time I look at this is that,

175
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: uh you have so many fans say, oh, kids need

176
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: to stick it out all this. I look at it

177
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: like this. Everybody in college football, as much as they

178
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: want to say, oh, it's a team and all of this, yes,

179
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: it's a team, but everybody on there is a bunch

180
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: of mercenaries. Everybody has to make the best decision for themselves.

181
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: The coaches are mercenaries. Would you agree with that, Ralph? Uh? Yeah, yeah,

182
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that was something that Todd Graham

183
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: got in a bunch of trouble for calling assistant coach

184
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: of merch I'm including the head coaching that the head coach,

185
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: the assist. Okay, you know that I definitely agree with

186
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: head coaches unless you're an alumni, honestly, Like I don't

187
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: get the fan affinity, like fans believing that coaches are

188
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: more than just employees, you know that they have some

189
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: type of special love for any university. And even my

190
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: reaction to coaches who come in and want to change

191
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: things is, you know, students have every right to push

192
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: back against coaches because students are you know, and and

193
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: an alumni who paid tuition, who make donations because their

194
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: blood doesn't run the same color that yours does when

195
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: it comes to fandom, oh for sure. And that was

196
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: that was an issue I had with you know, HERM

197
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: Edwards came in to Arizona State and Ship Kelly came

198
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: into u c l A and they're like, all right,

199
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna cut players because the n c double A

200
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: rules allow for you to do so. And I didn't

201
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: like that because to me, like you, you're nothing but

202
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: a hired gun. Like you, I look at Chip Kelly

203
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: and I don't see a u c l A bruin.

204
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: I look at her members, I don't see an Arizona

205
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: State Sun devel I see a current employee, and to

206
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: have somebody who's like dream it was to go to

207
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: Arizona State or go to u c l A get

208
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: cut from the football team because rules allow for that

209
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: to happen. You know, you have people who Herm Edwards

210
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: and Chip Kelly cut people who were far more bruins

211
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: or sun devils than they will ever be because they

212
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: chose to be there and and work there, and they

213
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: wanted it before it was even available to them, you know.

214
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I I I will agree with you

215
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: in the in in describing coaches, you know, if you

216
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: have to describe them as something as mercenaries, because they don't. Yeah,

217
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: some schools celebrate the legacy of coaches, you know, long

218
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: after they're gone. But for the most part, you know,

219
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: these coaches come and go and uh and a lot

220
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: of them make the choice to leave, not just you know,

221
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: it's not just chosen for them. And and long long

222
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: after coaches are gone, those school colors and they remain.

223
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I I feel like coaches are often

224
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: more outsiders than we like to make them out. To me,

225
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: That's exactly why I don't mind players moving around, even

226
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: though it's uncomfortable, even though I'd rather see you know,

227
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: like I'd rather Brandon school or be at Oregon because

228
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: he's a good blocker, he's a you know, he's a

229
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: reliable player, is a good special teams player. But I

230
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: also love this decision for him. He's been there for

231
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: four years, he's done everything everybody's asked him to do.

232
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: He's graduating, and guess what he's behind on the depth chart,

233
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: partly because he is um He was injured the first

234
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: what six weeks of the five or six weeks of

235
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: the season. He's only played three games, even though he

236
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: had been a starter, because he broke his foot or

237
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: something in the preseason and one training camp. And now

238
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: he has NFL aspirations and dreams and he wants to

239
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: and he's buried on the depth chart, and he doesn't

240
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: just want to just play sparsely or or sparingly. He

241
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: wants to go somewhere and start. I'm like, go ahead,

242
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: take yourself down to Arizona with your brother where they

243
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: have no wide receivers, and guess what you'll probably play.

244
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: You'll probably start and get an opportunity at your NFL dream.

245
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: Same thing with Theo Howard at u c L a

246
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: guy who have been productive, but he wasn't fitting into

247
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: what was going on. But he has dreams and aspirations

248
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at it like yo, everybody is a mercenary.

249
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: Everybody has to make the best decision for themselves. The

250
00:14:54,960 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: coaches do it, the administrators do it. Uh. People want

251
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: us to act like this is not professional sports. This

252
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: has been professional sports except for everybody except the players.

253
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: So as long as the coach's commitment, it is is

254
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: what it is. Because coaches commitments are only as good

255
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: as the opportunities available to them or the money that

256
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: they're being paid. So as long as the coaches are

257
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: commitment is is that If coaches are being penalized for

258
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: changing teams and all that they have to sit out

259
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: a year or something like that, then you can do

260
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,359
Speaker 1: that to the to the players. But if that's the case, Nope, sorry,

261
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: no way, not in on it at all at Britain

262
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: school or wish you well. I hope that you know

263
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: everything goes well for you and the A s U

264
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: players who transferred. Okay, cool, whatever, Hope it works out

265
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: for you. Hope this was a good decision for you

266
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: and not a premature decision because we talked about the

267
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: Kicker the Kicker Scandal at a s U so go

268
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: back a Coupple podcast. It's in the title Kicker Scandal

269
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: or Kicker Drama in the PAC twelve Theo Howard as

270
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: well and anybody else who's been in the transfer portal. Um,

271
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: Mike Leakes just talking Ralph, you brought this up to

272
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: me and I was like, okay, so he's not tweeting,

273
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: He's just making his press conversation just that more outrageous.

274
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: He says something about Oregon, right, yeah, I mean he

275
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: he basically came out and said, you know, why is

276
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: anybody surprised that Oregon is good? Um, good on defense,

277
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: good on offense. They got all these four stars, you know,

278
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: and then they come out and then they play like

279
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: their four stars and everybody's like, oh, look what Oregan

280
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: is doing. And and I mean, I get where he's

281
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: coming from. I also think it's just another dumb thing

282
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: because this is one of my pet peeves and it's

283
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: just from working in media, because people say, like, oh,

284
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, the the media does this. I just I

285
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: want anybody, especially when you work at a scholastic institution,

286
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: just cite your sources just say who said it? To say, oh,

287
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: so and so is surprised that Oregon is good, even

288
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: though so and so pointed out that they have all

289
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: of these highly touted players. Why the disconnect in so

290
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: and so is mine? But instead everything just gets projected

291
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: onto the media as a whole. And honestly, like I,

292
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: I tried to put the effort in coming into this

293
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: podcast to figure out who out there is shocked that

294
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: good players play good and guess what, I haven't found

295
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: it because it's probably not a thing. Mike Leach is

296
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: full of craft like there. I don't think that this

297
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: is an actual thing. I think it's the media's job

298
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: to ask questions. And so when the media asked Mike

299
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: Leach a question like are you surprised at how well

300
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: Oregon is playing? Why does that turn into a diet

301
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: tribe about how no one should be surprised. The media

302
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: is not saying I am surprised. There is no unified

303
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: the media voice. By the way, they're not saying I

304
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: am surprised. What do you think about my opinion that

305
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: I am surprised? That's not the question. The question is

306
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: what do you think about this? And honestly, like most

307
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: media members maybe aren't super well versed in recruiting, and

308
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: a lot of them didn't even play football themselves, so

309
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: you you do have to deal with a lot of

310
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: questions coming from a place of ignorance or inexperience. But

311
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: there's an advantage to that because most of the people

312
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: reading the information are coming from a place of ignorance

313
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: or inexperience, and that helps those people get answers they want.

314
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: So I just the Ralph. You're missing it. Oh you're

315
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: missing it. Oh you're missing Why Mike Leads just talking

316
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: about this? You have to go back to Pack twelve

317
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: media day. What was Mike Leads talking about on Pack

318
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: twelve media Well, he usually talks about nonsense, but this

319
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: year he brought up the fact that they win in

320
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: just as much as anybody. Well, I think it's actually

321
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: now that if you factor in the early part of

322
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: this season, they're probably somewhere around three or four, but

323
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: that they've been winning more than anybody, uh recently, and

324
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: why is nobody talking about Washington State? And now Washington

325
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: State is not having that grade of a season so far.

326
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: They've they got come back on by U C. L

327
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: A they have. You know, it's not going as swimming,

328
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: Lee is as he would have hoped there four and

329
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: three right now, one in three in the conference. So

330
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: this is a a this is a personal deflection. This

331
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: is what this is. He's not he's not actually mad,

332
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: he's not actually upset. Mike LEAs just wants to talk

333
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: about something and really, you know, put us against the world.

334
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: Of course, Oregon is good. What are you talking about?

335
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: Two years ago? Organ was in the dumpster. Dude in

336
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: the dumpster. I mean, he's so so guess what. The

337
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: resurgence has happened a little bit quicker than most people

338
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna happen, but you know, it is

339
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: what it is. Um your your boys down in Arizona. Actually,

351
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: Washington Huskies fans because, mind you, it was a huge

352
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: rivalry game against the Oregon Ducks. I mean it's a

353
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: heated rivalry, hated robbery. Everybody's set furious about it all

354
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: the time, and they took the loss to Oregon amazingly well.

355
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: I I even read online and in my text, great game.

356
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: You guys are have a really good team. Like it

357
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: was so nice that it was creepy, like it was

358
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: like something something else was coming on the back end,

359
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: like they were coming to So you're not concerned. You're

360
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: not concerned with this small, tiny, tiny, tiny undercurrent of

361
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: of hardcore dog fans. Who who who want Peterson gone?

362
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: That is insane, dude. So on one hand, I'm laughing.

363
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: I couldn't even get it out of my mouth without laughing.

364
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: I can't believe that so many people are calling for

365
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: Chris Peterson's job. Um, will we haven't had any coaches

366
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: fired mid mid year, so I haven't had to go

367
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: over the two rules of my my coach firing. But

368
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: he's not in the situation like who else are you

369
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: gonna get to do a better job a recruiting. First

370
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: of all, he's doing an outstanding job recruiting. He's putting

371
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: so many dudes in the NFL that defensive guys are

372
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: lining up to go to Washington. And then you get

373
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: like yet her having some offensive struggles. They were mad

374
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: they ran a wildcat too much. But I'm like, come on, man,

375
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: I like you, you can't be series that you want

376
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: Chris Peterson fire. Oh he can't win the big game.

377
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: Really really, he's only one in the pack of championship

378
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: the last two years, I believe, do you want you

379
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: want eleven teams fan bases to unite and have a

380
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: giant cocktail party. Fired Chris Peterson. Everybody else is about

381
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: sick of him? Uh and and and also just like

382
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: a tad jealous I think, And so I yeah, I mean,

383
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: go ahead, if you want to be mad at Chris Peterson,

384
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: go ahead. But there's I don't think there's very many

385
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: other coaches in the entire conference who probably wouldn't you know,

386
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: wouldn't be concerned for their own jobs if Peterson was

387
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: on the market. You know who would be the most

388
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: happy if he got fired USC's coach. Oh yeah, Oh no,

389
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: I meant you USC's fan base. They would be the

390
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 1: most happy because they we got our coach. We'll we'll

391
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: get your Peters. Yeah, they'd be they'd be thinking that

392
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: that was their next guy. They'd think it Stark two

393
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: point oh um. Yeah. So I just and I know

394
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: that this is the way that fans are. I mean

395
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: all week long, people have been calling for for Rob

396
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: Liken's job at Arizona State, Like he's the one who,

397
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, wanted to play a seventeen year old left

398
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: tackle against probably the best edge rusher in the entire

399
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: Western United States. You know. I mean people people just want,

400
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: uh want people to be pay and to be held

401
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: accountable for the mistakes of their of their team. Um.

402
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: But I just anybody who thinks that Chris Peterson um

403
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 1: is past his prime at Washington or should be let go,

404
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: oh man, that that's somebody that I would love to

405
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: have a dinner party with to see what other thoughts

406
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: on life. Yeah, but it was creepy how nice Washington

407
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: fans were though, Like it was like something else is

408
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: coming on the back end, like they're gonna kill me

409
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: in my sleep. It's it's like watching Snapped or Women

410
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: who Kill or Buried in the backyard with my wife

411
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: because she loves to watch those shows, and it creeps

412
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: me out because yeah, you know what it is. You

413
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: know what it is though, it's that they're out. They're out,

414
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: like they have the relief of knowing that they're not

415
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: in competition for no matter basically, no matter what. At

416
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: this point, they are not in competition for representing the

417
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: Pack twelve North this year, and so I think there's

418
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: an element to that that can say, like, all right,

419
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: we'll get next year, because they don't have to root

420
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: for crazy things to happen in order for them to

421
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: get back in it. They just got to focus on

422
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: what they have for for the rest of you. There

423
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: can be some relief in that when when you know that,

424
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: all right, we we gave it our best, we're getting

425
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: a little bit better, but we're out of it this year.

426
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: And I think that that that can contribute to it

427
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, am I the only one It

428
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: doesn't like watching Snapped or Women who Killed are Buried

429
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 1: in the backyard with my with my wife. I couldn't

430
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: do that. I couldn't. I'd be staring at heard the

431
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: whole time instead of the TV scree Yes, I'd be

432
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: more interested in in my wife's reaction to each of

433
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: those things. It's the scariest thing in the whole world

434
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: to me. I'm like, no, no, no, no, don't do

435
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: like because there's nothing more vulnerable to me as a

436
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: man than you. Don't on all these shows, nobody saw

437
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: it coming, or the majority of people didn't see it coming.

438
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: They thought everything was fine, and then they get killed

439
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: in their sleeper by some random person or cyanide point

440
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: the need and they're just staring at him in the face, smiling,

441
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at her, thinking, wait, you're over here

442
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: smile a smiling at me. What what are you doing

443
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: at your spare time? Woman? Yeah, and and and it's

444
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: not like it's not like they can be mad at

445
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: you forgetting paranoid either I watch you know, I watch

446
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: Walk the Line or Ray with my wife and Ray

447
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: Charles or Johnny Cash cheat on their spouse and she's

448
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: mad at me for some like it's a movie based

449
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: on historical events. I didn't do anything. She's like, yeah,

450
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: but did you like the movie like what Awards. Of

451
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: course I liked the movie. I didn't like what he

452
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: did though he should have been shot right. Yeah, so no, no, no,

453
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: the marriage is weird. It's what we're consuming media and

454
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: wondering how the other person is digested. Oh. Sometimes I

455
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: definitely choose to depend what's going on in our life.

456
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: I will censor what we watch and like, I don't

457
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: really want to watch that because I know that this

458
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: makes trigger some other think them like, yeah, how about

459
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: how about no? I want to be happy tonight? Um?

460
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. The documentary on like on Equal Pay

461
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: comes out, I'm like, oh I might I actually gotta

462
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: record a podcast with George exactly. Oh so, Ralph, your

463
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: boys at Arizona made it made a shocking, not shocking

464
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: announcement that there was gonna be no change to the

465
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: quarterback depth chart. So they're gonna continue to roll with

466
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: Khalil Tate and then he's not gonna play well and

467
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: then they're gonna put him on the bitch sometime in

468
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: the second half, bringing Grant Danell throw the ball a

469
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: billion times and then lose. Like what I don't understand,

470
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,959
Speaker 1: Like this is clear as day. What the formula is yeah.

471
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: I mean, George, what what would your estimation be of

472
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: the Arizona fan base? Where do you think that they're

473
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 1: at it? Because I've I've noticed it's pretty clear where

474
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: their head is at on the quarterback your shoe? Who

475
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: do you think they want taking stamps? They want granking out?

476
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: Because like, Okay, I understand that Khalil Tate's been there

477
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: for a bunch of years and that you want to

478
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: quote unquote do right by the kid. I get it,

479
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: but this is like I said earlier, everybody's a mercenary.

480
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: Everybody has to do what's best for them, and Kevin

481
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: something needs to do what's best for his team in

482
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: terms of winning football games, like you can like you've

483
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: tried to give Khalil Tate the chance. You've tried, it's

484
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: not working. It is time to move in a different direction.

485
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: I said it on the last podcast. I said it

486
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: on Unafraid show dot Com in the Pac twel of

487
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: Power rankings. You guys go check those out every Monday.

488
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: Um that I've said it on there, A double minded

489
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: man is unstable in all his ways. That's that's not

490
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: my that's not my own quote. You can look it

491
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: up if you like, but that's what Kevin Something is doing.

492
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: Do you want to be a read option team with

493
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: with Calilt who doesn't really even want to run right now,

494
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: and have him running backwards throwing the ball left handed

495
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: out of bounds, or do you want to uh and

496
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: you or do you want to be what No Maazoni does,

497
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: play Greg Gnell and throw the ball a million times

498
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: a game? I don't understand. I don't understand either, I

499
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: honestly don't, because, like you said, the fans are now

500
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly in Gannal's camp. Um I I still think that

501
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: Colt is the better option for a team that would

502
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: be willing to deal with what they have rather than

503
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: who they want to be at a later date. Well,

504
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: I think we have plenty of proof that that's not

505
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: going to be the case. So if that's not gonna

506
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: be the case, like it's just time, it's time to

507
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: move on. You know. I had a discussion with a

508
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: former multi year starter in the Pact just about quarterback

509
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: competitions and about going back and forth between quarterbacks, and

510
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: he said, you never want to let it drag on

511
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: too long because that makes the players feel like they

512
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: have a choice in the matter. It allows them to

513
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: pick favorites and get invested. Um, you have to be

514
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: in complete control of the quarterback situation. Otherwise everybody else

515
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: feels like their opinion matters and their voice matters, and

516
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: sometimes those voices make decisions based on like arbitrary stupid

517
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: stuff that can cause um issues in your team. So

518
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: even something as simple as one quarterback is black, one

519
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: quarterback is white, some of the players are black, some

520
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: of the players are white. And you have people who

521
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: will say, I would rather see this color skinned quarterback

522
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: play like and he and he he was just being frank.

523
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: He said, like, you leave the door open for people

524
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: to make decisions based on what's important to them, and

525
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: then they'll feel like you them wrong for even giving

526
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: them that window in the first place. When you make

527
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: a decision that's best for you and it doesn't it

528
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: doesn't go along with what they were invested in. That's

529
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: why you don't let your quarterback battle go into the season.

530
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: That's why you don't introduce a quarterback battle during the season. Um.

531
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: And so, I just the fabric of this team could

532
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: get messed up if it's seen as them doing kliltate dirty.

533
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: When he's got a bunch of four year teammates that

534
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: he's with, you know, and what would somebody be more

535
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: upset by him getting Khliltane is getting you know, his

536
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: changer six different times during the season, or making one

537
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: very very clear statement about who you're going to be

538
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: in the future exactly. You make a decision and you

539
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: go with it like you don't. You don't keep going

540
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: back and forth, which eggs girlfriend as Oh, hey, no,

541
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: I want to be with you. No, I want to

542
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: be with you this afternoon, I want to be with

543
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. That doesn't work out. Just as much as

544
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: I always say, if you have two quarterbacks, you have none.

545
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: One plus one does not equal two. In quarterback math,

546
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: one plus one equals zero. And you not need to

547
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: look further than the quarterbacks of the Arizona Cardinals and

548
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers to see that Kevin someone's been in this

549
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: position before. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean even

550
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: even there, Cam Newton, Kyle Allen. Guess what, as soon

551
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: as like they they have to wait to see um

552
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: when Cam Newton is healthy, which which makes sense obviously, right,

553
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: So if Cam Newton is healthy and Kyle Allen is healthy,

554
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: then you have to make a decision. But as long

555
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,479
Speaker 1: as um, as long as he's hurt, as long as

556
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is hurt, you don't have to make a decision.

557
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: But as soon as he's back healthy, because what if

558
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen turns around and gets hurt in the next game,

559
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: then you don't have to make a decision. You don't

560
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: have to say anything, and then you can kind of

561
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: curb some of some of the drama and the problems.

562
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, but you have to make a decision. Oh

563
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: waned before we get into the games super quick. Um,

564
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: I wanted to do two things. One, there was a

565
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: tweet that has implications in the back twelve. The tweet

566
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: from Florida's athletic director Scott Strickland. He said, he mean,

567
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: this is bold. He put it on Twitter. He was like, listen,

568
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: nobody is going to accuse us of not trying to

569
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: schedule games. So guess what we are Florida. Mind you,

570
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: Florida has not one a a non conference game, sorry,

571
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: a nonconference game outside of the state of Florida against

572
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: the team with a winning record since nineteen that's the

573
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: that's a fact because they and most of it is

574
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: due to the fact that they won't play outside of

575
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: the state of Florida, and until they played Michigan what

576
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: two years ago, they hadn't even played a non conference

577
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: game outside of the state of Florida. Since I mean,

578
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: and yes, that's a little skewed because it's a little

579
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: easier to do because Florida State and Miami are are

580
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: in state and they play a lot of those games.

581
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: But but they are venturing far out. So here's what

582
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: the A D says. He said, Attention a D s

583
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: like he's calling people out. Attention a D s from

584
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: the a c C Pick ten, Pick twelve or Pack twelve.

585
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 1: Gator football is looking to add additional home and home

586
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: series against Power five opponents, less connect and schedule quality

587
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: games the fans want to see. I'm like, yes, sir,

588
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: read Florida Gators. I'm on board with you. I love it, man.

589
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't know where this mandate is coming from a

590
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: SEC team scheduling home and homes because they're all doing

591
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: it now, but I like it. I just wanted to

592
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,959
Speaker 1: play ten Power five games. If they do that where

593
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: I am and I could not be happier as a

594
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: as a college football fan. I saw that tweet and

595
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: I knew that that was a dream come true for you,

596
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: right uh? And then I felt like, all right, well

597
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: do I have to come in and be the wet

598
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: blanket on this? There are teams that Florida needs to

599
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: make sure that they do not schedule if it comes

600
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,479
Speaker 1: down to being a PAC twelve team, because the risk

601
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: reward isn't It just doesn't make any sense for them.

602
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: And so from well, first of all, from a PAC

603
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: twelve perspective, knowing what we know and knowing the makeup

604
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 1: of certain teams right now in the coaching staff and

605
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: the talent on the field, who would make the most

606
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: sense to send the Florida from a Pack twelve perspective,

607
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: Probably Colorado, I would say. I would say Oregon. Oregon

608
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: has a bunch of Florida kids on their ross there

609
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: to recruit Florida. They got a coach to Florida. And

610
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: you're asking who would be more who would it be

611
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: less advantageous for Florida to to schedule? Welly, that's what

612
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: I think. It would be less advantageous for Florida to

613
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: schedule a team that's already coming into Florida and taking recruits. Yeah,

614
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: they would rather schedule Oregon State or Colorado or And

615
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: so I feel like that that that's an opportunity because

616
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: from a Pact twelve perspective, it would be like, Okay, well,

617
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: then send Oregon. They've already got a presence there. It

618
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: makes the most sense for them. They've already played Auburn.

619
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: This would just be a continuation of that. And if

620
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: you're Florida, you've got to say, like, are we letting

621
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: a fox in the henhouse? Like they already recruit Florida.

622
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: They already got you know, they've they've got a Florida

623
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: centric coaching staff. And so I I think that probably

624
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 1: the best thing for University of Florida to do if

625
00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: they're looking at if they're looking at a potential Pack

626
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: twelve opponent, is like, let's get an urban Meyer ball

627
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: going right, Like, let's well, they they already have home

628
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: at home schedule with with Utah in the future. But

629
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: but I definitely agree because Florida kids aren't going to well,

630
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: actually they do have a what what urban was there?

631
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: They used to have some Florida kids go there. But

632
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: but you are you are right about the fox in

633
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: the handhouse thing. If they do that, then they're gonna

634
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: be letting Oregon in their USC. I don't know if

635
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: you necessarily want to think I think maybe probably U

636
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: c l A would be If you c l A

637
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 1: can get back a little bit, and I mean you

638
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: give him a couple of years, they probably will at

639
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: least be more competitive than they are now. I think

640
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: that U c l A. Florida would be maybe a

641
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: perfect exchange of like, all right, we'll let you into Gainesville,

642
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: you give us uh the ability to come into l A,

643
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: you know, and and equal risk, right, like if you

644
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: want to come get our players, maybe come we'll come

645
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: get your players. Um, but I think that that that

646
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: might be an equal footing thing. But like to have

647
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: a team like Oregon come in potentially beat you and

648
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: already have a recruiting pleasant dude, that could be nasty time.

649
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: Um yeah, but I am excited about like I have been,

650
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, down and upset about the trend in college

651
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: football scheduling, But now I feel much much better about it.

652
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: It is going in the right direction, especially with the SEC.

653
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: The Pac twelve teams decently do a decent job, except

654
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: for sometimes Washington schedule have been a little bit light,

655
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: which I don't like. I mean, considering that they've been

656
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: so good, but are those seasons a little bit of

657
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: fools gold when they haven't When the year they went

658
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: to the national cha of the College football Playoffs there

659
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: their non conference schedule was bad. Non conference chedule bad

660
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 1: again this year? You know, I don't know. Uh. The

661
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: last thing before we get into the games, oh, is

662
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: the TV ratings. We want to go over to TV

663
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: ratings because we made so much fussing all of rigamar

664
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: row about a s u Utah being on the Pack

665
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: twelve network, which it probably like, it wouldn't have done

666
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: a s U any favors for that game to be

667
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: on I'm calling it national TV. Okay on national TV,

668
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: even though the fact of network is technically national TV,

669
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: it's not. It's only seven million homes. Um, it would have.

670
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: It wouldn't have done a s U any favors because

671
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: they got absolutely just drowned like that got held held

672
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: under water. You know, like big brother hand on your head.

673
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: You're swinging trying to hit him and you can't touch him.

674
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: That's what the game was. So it wouldn't have done,

675
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: as you any favors, but it damn sure would have done.

676
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: You taught some favors too for people to see them

677
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: and be like, oh my god, what are they doing?

678
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: Arizona State, who Michigan State? What what are they doing?

679
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: This is unbelievable. But uh, we have the highest rated

680
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: pack twelve game of the year um of between pack

681
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: twelve teams. So the highest rated pack twelve game of

682
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: the year involving a pack twelve team period is the

683
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: Oregon It's Oregon Auburn, which drew six point eight million viewers,

684
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: which is one of the I think it's the third

685
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: highest rated game of the year period, which is really good. No,

686
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: fourth fourth highest game. Because you've got the highest rated

687
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: game of the year is uh, Notre Dame Georgia. Very surprising.

688
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Georgia is the highest rated game of the year.

689
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: So and then obviously you've got games like Penn State,

690
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: Michigan did really well last week, Oklahoma Texas did over

691
00:40:55,160 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: seven million, um, Michigan State. Ohio State did really well,

692
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: even though that's a that game wasn't necessarily good Ohio

693
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: State in Nebraska. This is why I say that everybody

694
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: thinks that the SEC is the most watched football but no,

695
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: if you put Ohio State in anybody, it is going

696
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: to be the highest rated game. Um. But for the

697
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: Pack twelve though, Um, where's the tweets? Oh? For the

698
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: Pack twelve Pack twelve games through Week eight, you have

699
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: Oregon Auburn six point eight six million viewers, Oregon Washington

700
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: three point six two million viewers. That these are day games,

701
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: primetime games always get the highest ratings. You have Colorado

702
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: Nebraska three point four or five million, USC Notre Dame

703
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: three point one six million, which probably would have been

704
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: way higher if you know, if there was a little

705
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,959
Speaker 1: little more star power U C l A Oklahoma two

706
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: point seven four million, and that game was an absolute blowout.

707
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: Michigan State, Arizona State, Michigan State two point seven one million,

708
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: U s E B y U two six seven and

709
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: Washington B y U two. What did you gather from this, Ralph? Um?

710
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: I think I gathered that, you know, the network matters, um,

711
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: the time of day matters, but also you know, brand

712
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: is important. Basically, anything right now that is on Packed

713
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: twelve network is being hidden in the room closet. At

714
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: least some stuff on Big ten network, you know, gets

715
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: out of that million. Uh. You know, Ohio State Northwestern

716
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 1: did one point six four million viewers last week. You know. Meanwhile,

717
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: Pitt Syracuse, which was on ESPN, um it was I

718
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: believe a four pm West Coast kickoff had over a

719
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: million viewers. And I don't you know, you're not even

720
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna see a s u U tak on here. You

721
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: know ESPN two boys E State be y U SI

722
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: and are you're telling me that a s u Utah

723
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: couldn't even do that because of the network they were

724
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: on when it was two ranked opponents. That's from a

725
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 1: Phoenix metropolitan area that has five million people on its own.

726
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: That's crazy. See. I don't know if the Pack twelve,

727
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: if they released their their stats only because only because

728
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: you know that, I mean, they're only available on Slinging

729
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: a couple other places, so they may not want to

730
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: release the numbers because we know how secretive and John

731
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: John Wilner does a great job of covering the Back

732
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 1: twelve and the money and all of that stuff. They

733
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: do a great job of keeping this money secret and

734
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: the rady all anything that could go negative secret, like

735
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: when the athletic directors and the presidents when they look

736
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: at the financials, it's on mission impossible, time sensitive. This

737
00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 1: will self destruct documents like no, I'm serious. They don't

738
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: even get to keep them like that. They're all digitally,

739
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 1: digitally delivered, so anytime that anybody's seen them, when John

740
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: Wilner gets ahold of them, their screenshots, they're not actual

741
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: like PDF sent over to them. No, no, no no, these

742
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: are screenshots that they had to take up their phone

743
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: of the stuff on there. That's it. It's craziness. So

744
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: I think that you're right that network matters, and we

745
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: can assume what the PAC twelve network did and did

746
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: not do based upon the fact that we know that

747
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: espnto ESPN you have a footprint of like eighty million

748
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 1: houses and they're doing um and they're doing like six

749
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: hundred thousand views million views for a big game, and

750
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve network has a footprint of seventeen million homes.

751
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 1: So how many people can you really be reaching considering

752
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,399
Speaker 1: that they're not all going to be watching that game. Yeah,

753
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: and a lot of those people who have access to

754
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: Pack twelve network might not necessarily even be in a

755
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 1: Packed twelve footprint, or have a Pack twelve affiliation, or

756
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: have any reason to watch Packed twelve at all. You know,

757
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: if it's included in somebody's Sling subscription who lives in Newark,

758
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,319
Speaker 1: New Jersey? Do they really care that much, you know?

759
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: And so they they've made getting Packed twelve network intentionally

760
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: difficult enough to where we can't trust what percentage of

761
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: that seventeen million is actually a percentage that that targeted

762
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: getting Packed twelve Network to watch the games that they

763
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: want to watch. Yeah, okay, well we can get into

764
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: the games now, Ralph. It is time to get into

765
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: the game's deep dive, into the game's first game. Up.

766
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: We have a Pack twelve weird old start time Friday night,

767
00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: six o'clock Pacific time. Yes, Friday night, another Friday night game.

768
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: USC travels to Colorado, USC, who's had three starting quarterbacks

769
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: and now there are nineteen starting quarterbacks who've played in

770
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve. Um. Oh, before we even do that, Ralph,

771
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: I wanted to just name guys because I know some

772
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: of our the listeners want to hear, you know, interested

773
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: in who the Packed twelve players in a week are

774
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: and all of that. So he got justin Herbert was

775
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: the offensive player of the week. You had offensive lineman

776
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: of the week, Calvin Throckmeyer, offensive tackle from Oregon. On defense,

777
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: Bradley and Awards Kids Now not not not Not only

778
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: did he get the Pack twelve Defensive Player of the Week,

779
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: he got Packed twelve Defensive Linemen of the Week too

780
00:46:51,560 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: for Bradley and nine he had three sacks uh Um.

781
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: The Special Teams Player of the Week was the punter

782
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 1: from Oregon State punted nine times forty one yard average

783
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: and Freshman of the Week. Kyle Phillips, wide receiver from

784
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,919
Speaker 1: u c l A. Timber receptions hundred yards in their

785
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: win over Stanford, and the Pack twelve standings are in

786
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: in the north. You got Oregon four and oh Oregon

787
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: State two and two, Washington two and three, Stanford two

788
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: and three, Cal one in three, Washington State one in three.

789
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: So technically now the only team I believe that's mathematically

790
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: alive to beat Oregon, I mean that could catch Oregon,

791
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: I believe is Oregon State. And that would mean Oregon

792
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: would have to lose all the rest of their games

793
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: and then beat the Oregon which probably won't happen. Yeah,

794
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: they're they're there. They can only just they and they

795
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: can only do they can only grew up. Everything else

796
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: is meeting expectations. Yep. Uh. And in the South, the

797
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: South is wide open. Everybody has a shot in the South. Um,

798
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: I think Colorado maybe maybe mathematically eliminated, but I'm not sure.

799
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: So he got Utah three and one, USCS three and one,

800
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: Arizona State, Arizona and u c l A are all

801
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: two and two, and then Colorado is one in three.

802
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: So you're saying there's a chance, Ralph, So you're saying

803
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: there's a chance for the u c l A Bruins. No,

804
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: there's not a chance, No way admitted, all right, So

805
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: if so, if they'd be Arizona State this do you

806
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: still have to deal with Utah and USC. Okay, So

807
00:48:55,120 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: the USC Colorado game. We both have Colorado ranked as

808
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 1: the worst team in the back twelve. Right now, they

809
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: look like they're trending in the same direction as they

810
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: were last year when they dropped seventh straight. UM. The

811
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: line on this game, USC is favored about thirteen and

812
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: a half points. I don't even see that as unreasonable. Uh,

813
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 1: what what's your take on this game? I think the

814
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: USC has to cover. I think the US is um that,

815
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,720
Speaker 1: like I just said about Oregon, like they can only

816
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: they can only disappoint from here. Um, the only thing

817
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: that can happen in this game for for USC is

818
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: to go in and clearly clearly exhibit that they have

819
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: a much higher talent level. I think that that's very

820
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: very important for USC. For Colorado, they just need to

821
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: show that they're getting back on track. I mean, there

822
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: are some talent deficiencies that are on display on the

823
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. For color Atto, they haven't

824
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: been able to stop anyone. Um. You know, I think

825
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: that it's going to take time. I think you have

826
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: to give them a little bit of grace. What I

827
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: don't like to see is what happened at Washington State

828
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: and them not even really be able to get their

829
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: offense going. Because the offense is the engine of this team. Um,

830
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 1: but they're they're wounded animal right now. And if you

831
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: USC doesn't go in there and take care of business,

832
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: you you get to a point where you're just right

833
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: back in the same position that we've been all year

834
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: talking about whether whether basically the fitness of this coaching

835
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: staff to even have the jobs that they have. Oh

836
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And with Colorado, I mean it kind of

837
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: seems like they're best player offensively lately has been Alex

838
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: fontana Uh. He had eleven carries for a hundred and

839
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: five yards and his second hundred yard game last week

840
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: against Washington State, and he was pretty much the only

841
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: bright spot because Steven Montez, their quarterback, has not been

842
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: very good lately. I mean he's been He started out

843
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: the season hot, wasn't throwing interceptions, played great versus Nebraska,

844
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: you know, and was on fire, and then as soon

845
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: as Pact twelve played came. I mean, it's like this

846
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: team fell off a cliff. It's it's like the I

847
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: remember when I was a Rocky in the NFL. They

848
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 1: say that you hit the Rocky wall because you play

849
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: about the same amount of games and the same amount

850
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: of snaps and practices through about eight weeks in the

851
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: NFL because of the preseason games and all of that,

852
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: as you do in college football. Then you kind of

853
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: get tired. And it seems like Colorado hit a wall.

854
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: And I don't understand what it is. It is like

855
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: this team just does not look good. Um and then

856
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, you got U

857
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: c l A. I'm sorry usc Uh. They've had six

858
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: true freshmen start this year. Last week, cornerback Dorian he

859
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: Wit started. You had Keaton Sloven start, Chris Steele the

860
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: Florida trans, the Florida bounceback transfer, Max Williams the cornerback,

861
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: Drake Jackson the defensive lineman, and wide receiver Drake London

862
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 1: as well, all start and you're just like, oh, and

863
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: then uh, keeny Keenyan Christopher the running back as well,

864
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,720
Speaker 1: who had these number twenty three, who had that long

865
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: run at the end of the game, finished with you know,

866
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: eight carries hundred three yards and you see it and

867
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: you and two touchdowns. And USC's down to their like

868
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 1: their fifth string running back because you got Malapei out,

869
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: step out, um Stephen Carr maybe hurt, and this kid

870
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,919
Speaker 1: Kristen was expected to red shirt and now he's gonna

871
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: be playing two. So I don't know, you USC's getting

872
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: thin When you have to start that many freshmen at

873
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: at cornerback and then running back as well, it's not

874
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: a good look. No uh, And I mean they're beat up,

875
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: but again they're still pretty talented and it it shouldn't

876
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: be an issue against Call. I know it might be

877
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: an issue moving forward as the depth continues to you know,

878
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: become a concern. But I mean Drake Jackson. I saw

879
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,240
Speaker 1: him get banged up, and if they lose him, that's

880
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: that might be a rap. I mean, that's how important

881
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: he's been as a freshman. I love Jay, I absolutely

882
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: love what Jane Daniels is doing at a s U.

883
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 1: But it's very possible that the most important freshman and

884
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: all of the Pact twelve is actually Drake Jackson for

885
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: for USC. So if he's not full go, maybe it's

886
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Colorado has a little bit more of

887
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 1: a chance in this game. Yeah, I mean when when

888
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: you consider that, you consider the altitude, you consider you know,

889
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: all the stuff that kind of factors in the Friday

890
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: night game. You have a bunch of freshman starting. Colorado

891
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 1: has to in their meetings we like, hold up, we

892
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: we need to have a gut check, a pride check,

893
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: and you add all of that in you could have

894
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: a recipe for and an upset. I don't think it's

895
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:08,480
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I'm actually picking USC and the and laying

896
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 1: the points. But at the same time, I'm like, what

897
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: if what if Colorado has a bounce back game? Because

898
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: this is the back twelve and it's on a Friday

899
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: it's weirdo stuff happens. Yeah, I mean, I hate these

900
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: Friday games. What do we gotta do? I mean, is

901
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: it just wait for the next TV contract? Because it's

902
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 1: I just like because because then on the next TV contract,

903
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna be like, yo, we we have an opens

904
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: lot on Wednesdays, and they're gonna say, of course we yeah, you'll, you'll,

905
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 1: you'll give us an extra twenty million dollars. Yeah, yeah,

906
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 1: we'll play on Wednesdays too. I mean, the the they'll

907
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: play on ice if if a TV network wants to

908
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,919
Speaker 1: see it, the first football game in a hockey rink,

909
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: like whatever, whatever it is the TV networks want. The

910
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: Pack twelve is gonna acquiesce and that's and that's no good.

911
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: Who are you taking in this game? Ralph usc And

912
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: I also like them with the points, yeah, because this

913
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: is the Colorado is trending all the way in the

914
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: wrong direction. Next game up we got on Saturday twelve thirty.

915
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: We have era. The Arizona Wildcats had to Stanford. These

916
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: are two teams I think we both had in the

917
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, in like the ten eleven spot in the

918
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: Pact twelve power rankings. Two other teams headed in the

919
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: wrong direction. Arizona has no identity Stanford. Stanford's identity is lost.

920
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 1: If we we we know what they want to be.

921
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: They want to be intellectual brutality. But intellectual brutality is

922
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: broken right now, like it has It's like it doesn't

923
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:59,280
Speaker 1: even resemble itself. I mean, they're they're like error's. Uh,

924
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: Stanford looks like Jerry Rice playing for the Oakland Raiders.

925
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: Is that a Jerry Rice playing for the San Francisco

926
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: forty Niners? They are? They are? Hi, I'm Jerry Rice

927
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 1: with Direct TV. Hi, I'm Jerry Rice with Cable. That's

928
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: who they are right now. And you think that they've

929
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean you still think the Arizona has

930
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: got enough too on the tank to to take them on.

931
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, dude. It's it depends on

932
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: who starts at quarterback for Stanford. Yeah. If Davis Mills

933
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 1: or kJ Costello start, which which we we've thought they

934
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 1: were coming back and they haven't come back, then yes,

935
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 1: I would give the edge to Stanford because then they

936
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 1: can at least pass the football, which can open up

937
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: their run game as well. But if the um what's

938
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: his name? Um? If the if the other kids starts, yeah, no,

939
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: it's not. Yeah, can we make a conditional pick, because

940
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I feel like if I

941
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: knew who the starting quarterback was, if it was Jack West,

942
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: I'd feel okay going with Arizona in this game. And

943
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: if it's not, then I don't. I mean, it's it's

944
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: that simple, because if you have the ability to attack

945
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:15,760
Speaker 1: Arizona's defensive backs, then there's no reason you should lose

946
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: at this point. So Arizona is favored by a point,

947
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: which which means that Vegas may believe that Jack West

948
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: is starting. So I think we do have to bend

949
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: the rules for this pick and make a conditional pick.

950
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: And if if Jack West starts, I'm picking Arizona. Yeah,

951
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in the same exact vote as you, and

952
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm making you look like a genius because I'm going

953
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: second on these picks and just agreeing with you all day,

954
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: which never happened. But I think that without the ability

955
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: to attack Arizona secondary you don't really leave yourself any

956
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: any chance to do anything. You're too one dimensional. Um Arizona,

957
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: for of its faults, is still explosive offensively. If you

958
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: thought that Stanford looked like they had trouble with Dorean

959
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: Thompson Robinson, They're gonna have trouble with whoever is back

960
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: there for Arizona. So um, yeah, I would say that

961
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: if you have the ability to attack Arizona secondary, you

962
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: should win and if not, you should lose. Yeah. So

963
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: you So you have Arizona, who's second in the Pack

964
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: twelve at a hundred and ninety nine point seven rushing

965
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: yards per game, their fifth in the Pack twelve and

966
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 1: scoring per game at thirty two point four points per game.

967
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: But then on the defensive side, Stanford's giving up twenty

968
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: seven points six points per game and Arizona is given

969
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: up thirty four points a game, So it's like, so

970
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: it's like and then Stanford is the second worst scoring

971
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: team in the Pac twelve at only twenty points a game.

972
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: So it's it's It's always interesting to see when teams

973
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: who don't score very many points, like Cal and Stanford,

974
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: Cal Cow's on the average nineteen points a game, teams

975
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: that average nineteen and twenty versus teams like u C.

976
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: L A Colorado that give up thirty five points a game.

977
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: And when you saw Stanford play U C. L A

978
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 1: U c l A scored what thirty thirty six points

979
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: thirty and Stanford only scored sixteen points. So you're like,

980
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,919
Speaker 1: so it's always interesting when you get matchups like like

981
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: this because Arizona's pass offense, Like if you look at

982
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: their numbers, they're total offense numbers. They are second in

983
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: the pack twelve, four hundred and ninety one yards a game,

984
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: four hundred and ninety one. Yet they're having trouble winning

985
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: games in the pack twelve. How does this make sense?

986
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: Because I mean, they don't they don't have it going

987
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball because they're yeah, they're

988
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: total defenses and level they're giving up almost the same

989
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: amount of yards as there as their gobbling up. Okay,

990
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 1: so okay, so I think we're both in agreement on

991
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: that game. Um we got Arizona State at U c

992
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: l A. I look at this as a super super

993
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: important game in the back twelve, Super important because it's

994
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: important for the conference to have top teams, you know,

995
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: clear top twenty five teams, and if Arizona State loses this,

996
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: they're falling out of the top and then you're only

997
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: gonna have two teams ranked instead of at least three

998
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: every single week this year, and Arizona State is five

999
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: and two. U c l A Is two and five.

1000
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: This game is played on the road at the Rose

1001
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: Bowl at four thirty Pacific time. Arizona State's favor only

1002
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: by three and a half points, but it's probably because

1003
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: of their power outage last week. What what say you,

1004
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Ralph about this game? Um? I mean U c l

1005
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: A is not good. They've got Dorian Thompson Robinson. They've

1006
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 1: got some talent, uh, I mean in Darnay Holmes, and

1007
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: obviously you know they had a receiver breakout last week.

1008
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: You look at what a SU did defensively against Utah.

1009
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: You know what everybody talking about, how this is it

1010
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: like Tyler Huntley's back and you know Zack Moss had

1011
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: I think something like something carries for sixty four yards

1012
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 1: before he broke off that last thirty yard or so.

1013
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: A s Use defense really showed up last week. The

1014
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 1: offense just didn't give them any relief whatsoever. They were

1015
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: on the field the entire game on the road. Um,

1016
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 1: having to be on the road again could be tough,

1017
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: except I think they're very much going to welcome not

1018
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 1: having to play in the sleet and snow, so I

1019
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: think that that's probably gonna be a boost for a

1020
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: s U as well. Um, I don't think U c

1021
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: l as at the point where they're feeling themselves at

1022
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: all after their win at Stanford. I think that they

1023
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: understand that that, you know, that was a game that

1024
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: based on who was on the field at that time,

1025
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: they probably should have won. I'm curious to see if

1026
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: U c l A can handle getting punched in the

1027
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: mouth by this defense, because I don't I don't know

1028
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: if they've played a defense probably Okla Oklahoma's defense Oklahoma

1029
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati's were really good too, I would I would

1030
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: say that they were upper tier UH and San Diego

1031
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: State even too, compared to what U c l A

1032
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 1: has played already. Yeah yeah, I mean, but you're gonna

1033
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: get You're gonna get these these linebackers, UH spying Dorian

1034
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:56,959
Speaker 1: Thompson Robinson and and you know, unless he's accurate as hell,

1035
01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: which you know he's, it comes and goes for him,

1036
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: then he could really really have a stroke. I don't

1037
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,479
Speaker 1: think he's gonna look like Jaden Daniels looked last week

1038
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 1: at Utah, but I see this being a game where

1039
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, he struggles to rush for fifty yards, he

1040
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,919
Speaker 1: struggles to throw for hundreds and fifty. So it's gonna

1041
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: come down to whether or not a s US offense

1042
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: can move the ball. That that to me, that's the

1043
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 1: whole key to this game. Was a s U S

1044
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: offense irreparably psychologically damaged by what happened against Utah and

1045
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: with Bradley and I and all that stuff. Or or

1046
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: is it going to feel like a giant pressure relief

1047
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: to not be having to go against you know, Utah's

1048
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: front and they'll all of a sudden be able to

1049
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: move the ball again. I think that will be the case.

1050
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: I think s he will be able to move the ball. Um,

1051
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be it's not gonna be a blowout

1052
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: because that's just not what Arizona does or that's not

1053
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: what Arizona State does. I apologize, but um, I I

1054
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 1: see this is maybe a nine Arizona State win. Okay,

1055
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,959
Speaker 1: so U c l A. In the last three games,

1056
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: they've rushed for two sixty three UM to nine to

1057
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: fifty yes so too sixty three versus Stanford, to fifty

1058
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: six versus Oregon State and to seventeen versus Arizona their

1059
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 1: best rushing outputs of the season, and this looks like

1060
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: a team that's trending in the right direction like they

1061
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 1: did last year. Their defense is still absolutely atrocious, but

1062
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: they're no longer the worst scoring defense in the pack

1063
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: twelve now instead of twelve, they are eleven. But when

1064
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: it comes to yards total yards given given up, they've

1065
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: moved up from twelfth all the way to tenth. Their

1066
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: past defense is up a spot. This is a team

1067
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: that's going in the right direction. Their past offense went

1068
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: from last too to uh continuing to move move up.

1069
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Total offense ninth. Chip Kelly's getting this offense figured out,

1070
01:04:56,080 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: and Arizona State is having trouble like scoring points away

1071
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: from home because they have so many true freshman starting

1072
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 1: and rash freshman starting. I think they have the most

1073
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 1: in the nation, so they those young kids typically have

1074
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: trouble playing on the road. Mind you that that that

1075
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: didn't like surface itself against Michigan State, but Michigan State

1076
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: can't score the ball very well. So in this game,

1077
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: I am picking U C. L A. Ralph. I am

1078
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: picking the the upset. It has nothing to do with

1079
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: with them winning the Packtwealth South or anything like like that.

1080
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 1: You said, they just feels feels like they're trending in

1081
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: the right direction. And I don't trust. I think they're

1082
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: playing really really hard. I mean my mind. You you

1083
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 1: said it's playing a ton of young guys too, but

1084
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 1: a lot of them played last year, So like they're

1085
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: playing a lot of retchart freshman who played some last

1086
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 1: year in the four games and a lot of sophomores

1087
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: who played last year as well. I just I just don't,

1088
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, I just don't trust Arizona State on the road. Obviously.

1089
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: I love James Daniels, you know, Benjamin Brandon, the Nuke

1090
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: Like they have talent, but so does you ce l

1091
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 1: A offensively, And I think you're gonna end up in

1092
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: a shootout to to to to some extent. And if

1093
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: you say I can run the football, you see I

1094
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: can run the football, then you're gonna find a situation

1095
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: where they're ultimately able to win the game as well. Yeah, uh,

1096
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: they've they've been a little bit better. Um. You know

1097
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:45,919
Speaker 1: that the defense carried them on the road in all

1098
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: three top contests this year at Michigan State, at cal

1099
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: and at Utah. This will not be as tough as

1100
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: those three games. So in order for u c l

1101
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 1: A to win, you would actually have to definitely depend

1102
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: on on Arizona State's defense and their freshmen um sort

1103
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: of hitting a wall. Um. I think that you're gonna

1104
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 1: have a lot of A S S players kind of

1105
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,919
Speaker 1: up for this a little bit because this is their

1106
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: one shot to play in so Cal uh this year.

1107
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: They're probably not going to the Rose Bowl again after this,

1108
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: but there is there one shot to play in in

1109
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: SoCal this year, and they you know that they've got

1110
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of young talent, all from that area,

1111
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: all looking to show out in front of their families. Um.

1112
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: So I mean, I just again, who would have to

1113
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,959
Speaker 1: go off for u c l A for this even

1114
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: be be a shootout. Who would be the weapon that

1115
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 1: would make that the case? I'm just not sure I

1116
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: see that kind of depth offensively for u c l A.

1117
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 1: So u c l a's last game at the Rose

1118
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Bowl was versus Oregon State and they lost thirty one.

1119
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: But Oregon State, mind you, I want to give props

1120
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,600
Speaker 1: to Oregon State. They are on pace to set the

1121
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 1: double A record for the least amount of turnovers in

1122
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: a season, which is why they've continued to be competitive

1123
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: in every single game. And obviously I believe that Oregon

1124
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 1: State offensively, it's better than Arizona State offensively. Would you would?

1125
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: Would you agree with that? Definitely? Yeah? They? I mean

1126
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: they they have Isaiah Hodgens, they have the two running backs, uh,

1127
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: Jake Lutton Lutan however you say it, say his name,

1128
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,560
Speaker 1: is doing a really good job of not turning the

1129
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 1: ball over their explosive so in in this game. This

1130
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: is the first game that we differ and I got

1131
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 1: u c l A in this game, no take backs, Ralph,

1132
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: no take backs? All right, Um, Cow travels to Utah.

1133
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: This this game is not gonna good. This Dame is

1134
01:08:56,120 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be good. Like in terms of for Cow

1135
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:03,879
Speaker 1: because Utahs favored by twenty one and a half points.

1136
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 1: You talk, could probably score twenty five points and win

1137
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: by twenty one and a half points in this game.

1138
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. After watching Cal played last week, After

1139
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:22,400
Speaker 1: watching Cal play last week against Oregon State, and the

1140
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: organ State's defense is not good. Their defense is still

1141
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:31,520
Speaker 1: a bottom third in the Pac twelve. They scraped seventeen

1142
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:37,920
Speaker 1: points together, scrape seventeen points, So against Utah. After watching

1143
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 1: what you taught did to Arizona State and knowing Cow's

1144
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: quarterback situation, Chase Garber's is hurt. Monster may not even

1145
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 1: be playing because he got hurt last last game. They

1146
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: have the true freshman in well, I don't know if

1147
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,320
Speaker 1: it's the true true freshman. He's a freshman. The kid

1148
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:59,839
Speaker 1: is smaller than Jayden Daniels has yeah no, and Spencer

1149
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: spends a brash is skinny skinny deal. He hasn't seen

1150
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 1: a lot of playing time. How on Earth route I

1151
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: can't think of because Cal their defense is really good,

1152
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,600
Speaker 1: but they have the smallest margin for error. If a

1153
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 1: team gets the fifteen points, they're probably they're they're in trouble,

1154
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 1: like they're in the danger zone once the team gets

1155
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: the fifteen seventeen points because they're on the average a

1156
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 1: nineteen points a game. So how on Earth? I mean,

1157
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: I can't find a way that Cal can win this game.

1158
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: Even if Tyland would say that Tyler Huntley's beat up,

1159
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:32,680
Speaker 1: and he looked pretty beat up at the end of

1160
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:35,559
Speaker 1: that a SU game, he had to come out, I

1161
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: guess if I guess, Okay, so Cow's defense is good

1162
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 1: enough to where if but they're not that great against

1163
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: the run. So if Shelley, yeah, so you didn't if

1164
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:50,719
Speaker 1: Zack Mosk gets yeah, but okay, So if Tyler Huntley

1165
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 1: does not play or is limited in action, they won't

1166
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,360
Speaker 1: cover this twenty one and a half points, but they'll

1167
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: still win. But at this but if Shelley plays or

1168
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:09,160
Speaker 1: the other kid plays, then CAL has a shot because

1169
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 1: they should sell out on stopping the run and dare

1170
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: them to throw it over their their hands because Cal

1171
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: secondary is very talented. Those guys can sit on some islands.

1172
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 1: And if they can stop the run with Tyler Huntley out,

1173
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:27,120
Speaker 1: guess what, they will have a chance to win this game,

1174
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:30,799
Speaker 1: even in even though it's in Utah and right Secle Stadium,

1175
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: which is a huge advantage. But the problem is Cal

1176
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: could hold Cal could hold Utah to ten points and

1177
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: still lose. Like that's how bad their offense is. So

1178
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 1: forget to forget the head to head matchup of the

1179
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,719
Speaker 1: two teams. Should we be paying attention to this game

1180
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 1: because it might be the PacTel defensive player of the

1181
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: Year against the offensive player of the year. Should we

1182
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: just focus on Evan Weavers Zack Moss, do you think

1183
01:11:57,680 --> 01:11:59,680
Speaker 1: Zach Moss is gonna be packed twelve offensive Player of

1184
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 1: the Year, No way. Yeah, I think I think that

1185
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: it's impossible. I think that if if he if he

1186
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: goes out, if he goes out and scores, you know what,

1187
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 1: what do they have left if he goes out and

1188
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: scores two three touchdowns in each and every game moving forward. Uh,

1189
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: And they're having to depend on him, especially upon what

1190
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,640
Speaker 1: he's banged up, and then it's I mean a lot

1191
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: of it's going to depend on probably what happens in

1192
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 1: the Pack Told Championship if he ends up being Yeah,

1193
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,799
Speaker 1: so I think he in the conference with six thirteen

1194
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: yards and eight touchdowns. But I think that I would

1195
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 1: put Isaiah Hodgens even ahead of him. But but they

1196
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: won't give it to him because the Oregon State's not

1197
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: not winning. But but then there's the quarterbacks. You've got

1198
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:50,679
Speaker 1: Anthony Gordon, who who probably won't get it either because

1199
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: unless Washington State finishes super strong, then you got Herbert

1200
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: and Easton. I mean, in Herbert's ahead of him with

1201
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: twenty one touchdowns eighteen hundred yards, even though it's not

1202
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 1: spectacular spectacular numbers. I you know, I just don't see

1203
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 1: one particular player in the Pack twelve that is having

1204
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: such an outstanding season on a winning team, because if

1205
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: I had to give the award out right now, I

1206
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: probably give it to Isaiah Hodgens. Okay, but just for

1207
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 1: stars for star power alone. Do you think that it

1208
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 1: would be worth watching this game because basically the way

1209
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about this game is that it's already over.

1210
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:31,679
Speaker 1: Would you tune in just to see one last time

1211
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: having weaver Zack Moss? Oh no, no, I'm highly interested

1212
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 1: in this game, Highland, because I believe that this game

1213
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 1: could go that this game could be very very close.

1214
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 1: I believe Utah is going to ultimately win the game,

1215
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 1: but it would not be outside of the realm of

1216
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: possibility if Utah turns the ball over like on some

1217
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:58,560
Speaker 1: bumbles or a misread and it gets thrown. Because this

1218
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: is a Pack twelve after game after dark game too,

1219
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 1: so weirdo stuff happens. Yeah so, and this is the

1220
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 1: game on Fox Sports one as well, so it makes

1221
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 1: it even more weird at night, so I would not

1222
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:17,559
Speaker 1: be surprised. And like this, this is a game that

1223
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: cal could If they do win the game, it'll look

1224
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 1: like cal versus Washington last year where it's like a

1225
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: ten to twelve victory. I'm saying this game, this is

1226
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,960
Speaker 1: a styles make fights game. And then when you add

1227
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 1: in the injuries to the Utah players, because Cal is

1228
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 1: gonna be very physical and they're gonna be trying to

1229
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:43,479
Speaker 1: get Huntley out the game if he does play, I

1230
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: I just I just see a scenario where if Cal's

1231
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: quarterback is not turning the ball over and their defense

1232
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 1: is locked in that even though I'm picking Utah and

1233
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:59,759
Speaker 1: the twenty one and two, um well, sorry, if Tyler

1234
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 1: the plays, they should cover. If he does not play,

1235
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: this could be a very very close game. I think

1236
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: that if Cal b t Utah, that should give one

1237
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 1: four of the victory to a s U for just

1238
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 1: softening Utah a little bit. He man, But but I mean,

1239
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 1: isn't this the way that Cal wins games though twelve

1240
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 1: twelve to ten because they can't score score points, which

1241
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: is totally incredible. They are only I mean, when when

1242
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 1: you look at at the stats, Cal doesn't have players

1243
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,839
Speaker 1: that are in the top tier of anything. So they're

1244
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 1: in rushing highest ranked guy tenth. When you look at receiving,

1245
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 1: guess how many wide receivers they have in the top twelve.

1246
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: Zero would make zero. Guess how many quarterbacks they have

1247
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:04,759
Speaker 1: in the top twelve zero zero they have zero zero.

1248
01:16:05,960 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: Matt Fink would be their leading passer. I'm pretty sure,

1249
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: oh probably. Um you have total offense, nobody, passing efficiency, nobody.

1250
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because you have teams with

1251
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: multiple quarterbacks without Cow. How crazy is that you have

1252
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:31,200
Speaker 1: teams with multiple quarterbacks on the list but not Cow.

1253
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:37,560
Speaker 1: That's insane. I mean, it's just it's just unthinkable. Nobody

1254
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 1: in scoring obviously, so I have not seen an offense

1255
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:47,720
Speaker 1: this bad in a very very long time, despite their

1256
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,640
Speaker 1: defense being so good. The last game we got up,

1257
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: we got Oregon playing Washington State, and this is a

1258
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,520
Speaker 1: game that I have circled. Everybody was circling the Washington

1259
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 1: game for Oregon. I have circled this Washington State game,

1260
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: Oregon's favorite by fourteen points. Uh in case you didn't know,

1261
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: one of the only teams that has streaks going on

1262
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,639
Speaker 1: against Oregon, because my mind, at one point in time,

1263
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:20,679
Speaker 1: Oregon had a streak, a winning streak of at least

1264
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 1: three or four games against every single Pack twelve team

1265
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: basically at the same time, including UH one against Washington

1266
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 1: for twelve straight years, so they had streaks going. This

1267
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 1: is one of the only teams that has winning streaks

1268
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 1: against Oregon going. That's Washington State. They've won the last

1269
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:46,440
Speaker 1: four times against Oregon. Mind you, those starting quarterbacks were, uh,

1270
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: the starting quarterbacks in those games were Dakodea pro Cup,

1271
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: Taylor Alley, I believe, Justin Herbert in his first start

1272
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: as a true freshman, and uh it was some other

1273
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: backup quarterback as well that that never played. And you're

1274
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: just so they've gotten a good fortune of playing Oregon

1275
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:11,679
Speaker 1: with with nobody at quarterback. Oh oh, and the other

1276
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:16,679
Speaker 1: one was Braxton Burmeister, So Braxton or bur burn Meister

1277
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 1: who was not a good quarterback in Oregon and transferred

1278
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 1: to Virgenias Tech, Taylor Ali Da Coda proke Up, and

1279
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's first start ever. And they've won those last

1280
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 1: four four games. And Washington State's offense just as typically

1281
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:39,719
Speaker 1: it's typically. You know, after last year, Oregon beat Washington

1282
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 1: in that overtime thriller everybody saw. Then they came back

1283
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: and got just clubbed, just beat up, chewed up and

1284
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 1: spit out by Washington State in uh impullment what does

1285
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 1: this game look like to you, Ralph Well to meet

1286
01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 1: Oregon's weakness going into this season was X and os

1287
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: and and not just we it was it was both

1288
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 1: a weakness and an unknown. Um. It was a weakness

1289
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 1: when you weighed against everything else that organ has the

1290
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,640
Speaker 1: ability to do, and it's an unknown and how it

1291
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 1: was going to be moving forward. They've got enough talent

1292
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 1: to cover up some potential deficiencies, uh, and Washington State's

1293
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: not going to allow for that to be the case

1294
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:28,759
Speaker 1: this week. They're just not that they're a very well

1295
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 1: coached team. UM, I think that they lack a lot

1296
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:34,680
Speaker 1: of talent on the defensive side of the ball. I

1297
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 1: think the worst thing that that that could have happened

1298
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: to this Washington State team was that, you know, they're

1299
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: they're leading returning defensive back going in the supplemental draft

1300
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 1: to the Arizona Cardinals and kind of leaving them without

1301
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: any experience back there. So, I mean, it's gonna really

1302
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: come down to whether or not Oregon is is moving

1303
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,680
Speaker 1: the ball and doing everything they can um offensively to

1304
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 1: sort of dominate the clock and physically domin ate this

1305
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: game and not make too many mistakes as long as

1306
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:06,439
Speaker 1: they execute a solid offensive game plan, then I don't

1307
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: think that Washington State will have the ability to keep

1308
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 1: up with them offensively. But if you give Washington State

1309
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:15,679
Speaker 1: extra chances, who knows what could happen in this game.

1310
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 1: Because this, this game, more than any game so far,

1311
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 1: comes down to whether or not Crystal Ball and staff

1312
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,720
Speaker 1: can can play with all the house money they've already won.

1313
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 1: Oh I and I have to give a coach of

1314
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 1: Royal some credit. I have doubted him after last year.

1315
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 1: I came into the season saying, I don't know, he's

1316
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 1: pretty pretty conservative. I don't know whether it's coming from

1317
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 1: a mandate from Crystal Ball or what. Then they lost

1318
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: the Oregon gain, I mean the game being too conservative

1319
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 1: in the second half. Then they came out and said, look,

1320
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:53,639
Speaker 1: I know I was being too conservative. This won't happen again.

1321
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: And I was like, ahh yeah, right. And the last

1322
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,800
Speaker 1: few games they have turned it on like they have

1323
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 1: turned it on, and I'm like, all right, all right,

1324
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 1: I got I got a little bit of trust there.

1325
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 1: And the way that Oregon was able to run the

1326
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 1: ball against Washington, I mean they just at Washington is

1327
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: a good team, like they're a good defense, and they

1328
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 1: just ran them over in the third and fourth fourth quarter,

1329
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:24,720
Speaker 1: just bulldozed them. I mean, just so, I think that

1330
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:26,880
Speaker 1: that's what you have to do to this Washington State

1331
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: defense is I think you have to go out and

1332
01:21:28,560 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 1: just abuse them, like just you. You have to be

1333
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: the tougher team. You have to be a bully because

1334
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,480
Speaker 1: if you try to be finesse and you make a mistake,

1335
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:41,639
Speaker 1: Washington State's offense has the ability to make you pay

1336
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:45,240
Speaker 1: for it. Yeah. So I think this is a game

1337
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 1: where if you're Oregon, you're trying to run the ball

1338
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 1: forty five times forty five maybe fifty times and average,

1339
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 1: if you're averaging five yards to carry. At the end

1340
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,560
Speaker 1: of the game, you will you will have stomped a

1341
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: mud hole. Because against defense is good. They're kind of

1342
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: their weakness has been their back end in terms of

1343
01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:12,480
Speaker 1: their um because they leave their um dbs on islands

1344
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, and when you play Mike Leachs, you're

1345
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 1: gonna get concepts, you're gonna get crossers. So they have

1346
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 1: to tackle well and get off the field on third

1347
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:22,960
Speaker 1: down and find a way to get a little bit

1348
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: of pressure on Anthony Gordon because guess what he will

1349
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 1: throw you interceptions. He's already thrown a thing. No, no, yeah,

1350
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:33,759
Speaker 1: you're you're right, You're right, he will. And I absolutely

1351
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 1: cannot wait to see what sort of non idn't I

1352
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what sort of nonsense comes out

1353
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 1: of a press conference in which, you know, the the

1354
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 1: Washington State Cougars moved to one and four in conference play.

1355
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's instead of a social media band, he's

1356
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:57,000
Speaker 1: just gonna ban phones. He's like, we're only communicating the

1357
01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 1: via pagers. I got everybody pages. We're bringing bring back

1358
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 1: in the pigeonss So, Oregon's favored by four team points

1359
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 1: in this game, mind you, the last two weeks, well

1360
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 1: actually the previous two weeks against Colorado and against uh

1361
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 1: Against Colorado and against cow Oregon was favored by big points,

1362
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: and against Colorado they were favored against by big points.

1363
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: They have not been covering the spread as much as

1364
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: you would think. I mean, might be Colorado three, um,

1365
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:41,679
Speaker 1: but this is a game that I think that they cover.

1366
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 1: I think they cover the fourteen points. I'm taking Oregon.

1367
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: I thought justin Herbert kind of grew up in the

1368
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:52,440
Speaker 1: last game, and I and Chris the ball were reminded

1369
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: these guys about last about the last four years, even

1370
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: though he was only there for two of them and

1371
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 1: as the head coach for it. I just don't believe

1372
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 1: that this is a game that they're gonna have a

1373
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:07,439
Speaker 1: letdown and that they are going to extend this, that

1374
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:09,719
Speaker 1: they're going to break the streak of four straight games

1375
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 1: because they have a good quarterback, they have a good team,

1376
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:16,639
Speaker 1: a good offensive line, and Washington State's defense is down

1377
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:19,200
Speaker 1: to I don't think that this is that this game

1378
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: is gonna be as close as it probably it seems

1379
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:27,599
Speaker 1: like it's it could be. Yeah, I UM, I liked

1380
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 1: I like the spread where it's at UM. I would

1381
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 1: not be surprised if this ended up being a push.

1382
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 1: It's a two touchdown win for for and it's weird

1383
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 1: because Oregon doesn't kick field goals really so yeah, so

1384
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 1: I I would if if this game ended up being

1385
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised at all. Yeah, I would

1386
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 1: not be surprised at all.
