120
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 3: N D instead of l U n d. In fact,

121
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: when we put up that cliff last week, as we

122
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 3: had Petro's papadaekas on but trying to bite a real show,

123
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 3: who joined us and eviscerated the USC Trojans because he's

124
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 3: like from there, he has ownership on that story.

125
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: God, he's not the only one. You see what Linda

126
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: White sweety yesterday.

128
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: I can repeat it on the air, put it that way.

129
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 3: I didn't know he popped his head up. I haven't.

130
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 3: I haven't thought about Lindell White in a long time, since.

131
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: He's thought a lot about the USC football program. I'll

132
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: say that.

133
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: Oh, the fact that he didn't have that block in

134
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 3: front of him to get that first down. But even

135
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: the Fox Sports Radio little clip we put out with

136
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 3: Petro saying if that if everything talking about Matt Lioner

137
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: trying to make excuses for USC, even that said l

138
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: A and d Adam oz Land like I'm from the

139
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: land of oz It shot him. I can't get away

140
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: from it. But that's fine, everything's fine now, we're good. No,

141
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 3: I am over it.

142
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: If everything's perfectly all right? Now we're fine. We're all

143
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: fine here now, thank you?

144
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 3: How are you You know where things aren't fine? Well,

145
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: they're never fine there, but Ohio, Ohio losing this ballgame tonight,

146
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: Kevin in the fashion they did being the number two seed.

147
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: The main takeaway I have, the Colin Cowherd takeaway is this,

148
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: thank goodness, we at least have a twelve team playoff,

149
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: and thank goodness Miami got in because they have more

150
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 3: than proven themselves. Notre Dame. I'm sorry, Brady Quinn, you

151
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: guys have zero case. Not only did Miami beat you,

152
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 3: they beat Texas A and m who beat you, and

153
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: now they've taken out Ohio State to move on rolling

154
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: their way into the semis.

155
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: Well, this part is hard.

156
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 4: And by the way, a few people when the very

157
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 4: beginning of this debate happened between Miami and Notre Dame

158
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 4: and being seven places apart in the initial CFP rankings,

159
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 4: I was championing Miami the entire time. And yes, obviously

160
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 4: Miami deserves to be here, and it was a great

161
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 4: victory over Ohio State, in a great victory over an

162
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 4: m last week. But I can't necessarily say that, well,

163
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: this means that Notre Dame doesn't deserve to be in

164
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 4: because who's to say Notre Dame basically played the exact

165
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: same way that Miami played these last two weeks or

166
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 4: whatever it's been. I guess it's been two weeks in

167
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: between games or whatever it was between their last their

168
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: playoff win in the first round. But ground and pound,

169
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: dominant defense, that is how Notre Dame has won all

170
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 4: season long. So I can't necessarily say that if Notre

171
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: Dame made it to the situation and Miami didn't, that

172
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: we wouldn't necessarily have the same results.

173
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: Okay, you're right, but Miami certainly is deserving at this.

174
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: Point without a doubt.

175
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: Kial didn't go in and just get run over by

176
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 3: the Aggies. That didn't happen. They went into one of

177
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: the toughest environments and got an ugly road victory. And then,

178
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, the Tito or Tea's ground and pound

179
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: game traveled today to the Cotton Bowl to get this win.

180
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: Over what I think I mean, most brackets for the

181
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: playoff are busted, Kevin. They are Remember what we used

182
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 3: to do for the bracket challenge back in the day.

183
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: Look at the flowers. Flowers.

184
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 4: I don't have to bring that back for college basketball

185
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: Season two. I guess right, bringing in him out the CFP,

186
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 4: why they hell not?

187
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: People are going to be confused with all the guns

188
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: being shot up into the air tonight. Yeah no, kidd

189
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: at midnight here on the West coast.

190
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

191
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: Well, in Ohio State, who I mean, without question, mostly

192
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 4: has the most NFL talent on their roster, first round

193
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 4: picks up and down, and for them to lose the

194
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 4: way they lost against Indiana, Granted that was a close,

195
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 4: tight game too, but Indiana kind of dominated them up front,

196
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: and you can say for the most part of this game,

197
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: and I know they made their run in the second half.

198
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: The exact same thing happened with Miami.

199
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: One thing we've said about the University of Miami under

200
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 4: myro Crystal Ball, any team that he coaches, they're going

201
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 4: to be good in the trenches, and that's exactly what

202
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 4: they were early in this game, well, being able to

203
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 4: bust off runs in the run game and really stuff

204
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: Ohio State, and he has them to get nothing going

205
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 4: offensively the entire first half of the game.

206
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: They started with that level of physicality and they finished

207
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 3: with that level of physicality while also going seven to

208
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 3: fourteen on third downs mixed in on huge plays where

209
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: at one point Carson Beck completed thirteen straight passes in

210
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 3: the first half. A lot of them were dink and

211
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: dunk passes, but in a game against Ohio State, you

212
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: might have to do that, Julian saying, by the way,

213
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: I'm saying, he completed ten straight to start the second half.

214
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: He was spectacular.

215
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 3: I think the turning point of the ball game was

216
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: they're down by three. They get the ball back from

217
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: Miami at seventeen fourteen and the first penalty of the

218
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: game got cold was seven minutes left in the fourth quarter,

219
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: and it was a hold on Ohio State and it

220
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 3: put them in a third and twenty situation. They got

221
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: a short yardage gain out of it, they had to punt,

222
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: and then on that punt they had another penalty. Yeah,

223
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 3: they redid it and it ended up being a much

224
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 3: worse punt where it was like a difference of twenty

225
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: yards where Miami was starting with on that final drive instead.

226
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the big thing the difference for me

227
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: in the game was really the protection up front, because

228
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 4: Julian Saying has basically been as great as he's been

229
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 4: completely over over eighty percent of its passes, great numbers,

230
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: but I think a lot of that was due to

231
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 4: the fact that he had all data throw. He had

232
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: all data throw all season long. These last two games

233
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 4: against Indiana and Miami was sacked ten times, five times

234
00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 4: in each game.

235
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: Run for his life.

236
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 4: I will say this, in the second half of the

237
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 4: game on Friday night, he showed himself well in that

238
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 4: second half and the having that pressure as well as

239
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: he possibly could trying to get out make plays. And

240
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: you mentioned the h RA completions that he made two

241
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: touchdown passes. He played well in the second half. But

242
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 4: the exact opposite for what happened with Carson Beck, who's

243
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 4: been more of your game manager type. If anything, Carson

244
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 4: Beck is a guy that you don't want throwing the

245
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: ball more than twenty five thirty times a game because

246
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: he is prone to throwing interceptions. And these first two

247
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 4: playoff victories from Miami, he's been a game manager, and

248
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: I think that's the recipe for them to be able

249
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: to win.

250
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 3: If you told me somebody threw an I inc on

251
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 3: a screen pass that went seventy two yards the other

252
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: way in this ball game, I would have thought it

253
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: was Carson Beck, not Julian saying that's the other thing.

254
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: They miss a field goal, they give them seven points

255
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: to Miami's defense. The margins are so slim in a

256
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 3: battle like this. Now, Ohio State did recover after being

257
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: down fourteen to nothing in the first half and missing

258
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: that field goal at the end of it to come back,

259
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: and then I think they had like two hundred and

260
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: thirty yards on their next three drives and they kept coming,

261
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: but Miami was able to keep them at bay even

262
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: when you saw, I mean, Ohio State gets that touchdown

263
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 3: with Bo Jackson, different Bo Jackson to start the second half.

264
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 3: Mammy comes right back and kicks a fifty yard field

265
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: goal where by the way, they recover their own fumble

266
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: just to stay in fuel goal range to knock that

267
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 3: down when their kicker was one for four last week

268
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: with the wind, you could say, but against the Aggies,

269
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: that was a huge play.

270
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

271
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 4: And I also want to say there's an excuse floating

272
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 4: out there that, well, you know, Ryan Day, it took

273
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 4: the play calling duties away from Brian Hartline because Heartline

274
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 4: is distracted as a new head coach of South Florida

275
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 4: has too much on his plate, which I don't know

276
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 4: if it's necessarily wrong to a certain degree, especially knowing

277
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 4: how the portal works and all this. These guys there's

278
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 4: no way they can be fully committed to the current

279
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 4: job when they know they have a future job that's

280
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: of much more importance when they're head coach of a

281
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: new program. I don't know if I can say that

282
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 4: because I don't think execution or play calling was an

283
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 4: issue for Ohio State. I think they just got beat

284
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 4: like that that picks six, and I think Dusted said

285
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 4: this on the telecast. It was like, that's just film study.

286
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: Like the way that he read that play. I mean,

287
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: Julian Sayin telegraphed the pass and he jumped it and

288
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 4: ran it back. That was nothing but just heads up

289
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 4: play by the defensive back and you know, being able

290
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 4: to get stuffs in the run fits and all that.

291
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 4: All of that was just execution. I just thought Miami

292
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: executed better than Ohio State. So I don't know if

293
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 4: I can necessarily blame this on play calling O'Ryan days part,

294
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 4: especially based on the fact that was to your point,

295
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 4: Ohio State's offense woke up in the second half. They

296
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 4: just couldn't recover from their slow start.

297
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 3: And the other excuse being made for Ohio State is

298
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: they almost had a month off between games and that

299
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: they had what happened to Oregon last season where they

300
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 3: got the buy that the number one seed. I know,

301
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: Ohio State was number two, but Oregon looked ill prepared

302
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: for that. Ohio State buzz saw last season that had

303
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: to beat Tennessee to get to them, And now Ohio

304
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: State has the layoff and you talk about rest versus rust.

305
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if that first half was just rust

306
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: or physicality and them getting their ass beat out there,

307
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: because Mario Cristobaul postgame on SVP on the Evil four

308
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: Letter was like, hats off to our guys because we're

309
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 3: some tough ass sons of bitches out there, and they were,

310
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: and they have molers and we knew this coming into

311
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: the season. Early in the year when they beat Notre Dame,

312
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 3: we were all talking about how physical they were in

313
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 3: the trenches. John Madden was right, it always goes back

314
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: to winning the game in the trenches because everything starts

315
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: there and everything can fall apart there if you don't

316
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: have your es and order. In Ohio State, Julians saying

317
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: in the first half, the way he was under duress,

318
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: like it was hey, you better back it up. He

319
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 3: was running for his life like it was brutal to watch,

320
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: and they had another big sack in the second half

321
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: on him that proved to be crucial. So they started strong,

322
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: They started with that physicality, they finished with it, and

323
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 3: they had their own screen pass really to put the

324
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 3: ball game away on that third down late Miami.

325
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

326
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 4: The big thing for me, I guess is the fact

327
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 4: that they were able to get contributions from other players

328
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 4: other than Malachi Tony. Everybody knew was the biggest offensive

329
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 4: threat that Miami had, and you knew Ohio State was

330
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 4: going to look to take that away, and they did that.

331
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 4: But the fact that Miami was able to run the

332
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: ball for over one hundred and fift yards against the

333
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 4: Ohio State team and put up the amount of points

334
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 4: they put up against Ohio State, who allowed what an

335
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 4: average of like eight point nine points per game, yeah

336
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 4: or something this season.

337
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: It was the best defense since twenty eleven Bama.

338
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, it was an incredible effort by the

339
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: University of Miami.

340
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 4: So I would like to give them flowers and talk

341
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 4: more about what they did right than people harping on

342
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: what Ohio State did wrong.

343
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they did twist the pure snipple of

344
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 3: Ryan Day in this game, and he looked upset Blackbeard

345
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: himself out there. I also because he's been so good

346
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 3: in the past when he was calling plays. I don't

347
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 3: know if that had anything to do with it. He

348
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: wasn't calling plays against Indiana when it looked like, oh

349
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: they had a governor on and that was the excuse.

350
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 3: Then well, they're not letting that dog off the leash yet.

351
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: They're gonna wait for the playoffs to really turn up. Well,

352
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 3: you take a month off, do you lose some of

353
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: that competitive edge out there? And then if you have

354
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: to find it after getting your butts kicked in the

355
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 3: first half just to get into year, it's too late.

356
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 3: Miami was too good. If they played this game ten times,

357
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: Miami might beat him six out of ten.

358
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: I could see that.

359
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it's one of those there, to a certain degree,

360
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 4: kind of evenly matched because they're stylistically built the same way,

361
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 4: physical upfront, and who's gonna win a physical matchup? I mean,

362
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 4: when you're built the way those teams are both built

363
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 4: to your point in time or to your point it

364
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 4: can go back and forth. On any given day, who

365
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: was just more physical, who was able to make the

366
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 4: plays on that given day, and on Friday Night, it

367
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 4: just happened to be Miami. I guess my question to

368
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 4: you would be based on how Miami played against A

369
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 4: and M and against Friday Night. Is there a team

370
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 4: that they can't beat? I mean, why can't they win

371
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 4: the National Championship? If you're gonna be that stout defensively,

372
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 4: I know you might need a little bit more punch

373
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 4: offensively here and there. But if you're gonna be that

374
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 4: good on offense, you already played against one of the

375
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 4: best offensive lines, one of the best offensive units you're

376
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 4: going to face in this postseason.

377
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: Why can't you make a deep run to the championship?

378
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: Who can't you beat?

379
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 3: Well? George is very familiar with Carson Beck, and I

380
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: expect them to beat Old Miss tomorrow and that should

381
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: be the matchup in the next round.

382
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: Corre.

383
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they can't beat Georgia, but Georgia would

384
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: be favored against them, and I will doubt that the edge.

385
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: I just think they're more dynamic. I don't trust Miami

386
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: enough to make as many of those crucial fifty to

387
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: fifty plays on those third down conversions, like they were

388
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 3: able to win this game just because Carson Beck can

389
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 3: go the other way very quickly at times. With him now,

390
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: he's been okay in big games and I'm rooting for him,

391
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: and I think it's a really interesting storyline if they

392
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: end up taking on Georgia. But I mean, your defense

393
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: keeps you in it. If you can run the ball

394
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 3: like that and still play defense, you're gonna be in

395
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: the game. I just think Georgia is a player too,

396
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: better on offense than Miami.

397
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think most people felt that about Ohio

398
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 4: State comingga into Friday night's game too and saw how

399
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 4: that played. It's played itself out. So I guess congratulations

400
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: to University at Miami. And if you're Ryan Day, you're

401
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 4: probably back on the hot seat again because that's what

402
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 4: Ohio how Ohio State works. If you imagine, by the

403
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 4: way Kyle Winningham comes in has a phenomenal seat an

404
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 4: end of the year.

405
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: Next year, Michigan.

406
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 4: Beats Ohio State and Ohio State's probably gonna make the

407
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 4: playoff again. I'm sure they will, but you imagine what

408
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 4: happens if they lose to Michigan and don't win the

409
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 4: national championship next year, what people are gonna.

410
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: Say, Oh, yeah, he'll be right back where he was

411
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 3: square one. He is a year removed from having one

412
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 3: of the most dominant runs and winning the first ever

413
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: twelve team playoff. By the way, what have.

414
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: You done for me lately? Because apparently what happens in

415
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: the past twenty four months isn't lately.

416
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know there was so much disappointment and there

417
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 3: were a lot of losses to Michigan, but they were

418
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 3: able to win on the biggest stage. Now, some fans

419
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 3: might say, well, that was Chip Kelly. That was different.

420
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: That was Chip Kelly. That's what they might say, because

421
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 3: he knew Oregon and they lit them up. Where was

422
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: that at the Rose Bowl? I believe last year when

423
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: it wasn't raining as much. Yeah, it's the same cross

424
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: to bear. It is difficult. It is a high pressure

425
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 3: situation for him always, But you knew what you signed

426
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: up for, and yeah, he'll be under the hot seat.

427
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: But Julian Sand's coming.

428
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: Back right, Yep.

429
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 3: They got a good young quarterback. They should still be

430
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 3: very competitive.

431
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 4: Oh, they'll be better than competitive. They're they're gonna win,

432
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 4: you know, a ten eleven games again next season. They

433
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 4: just they're returning too many guys. Even if they lose

434
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 4: a bunch of guys, they have five stars right behind

435
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: them coming in, so they're not gonna them being in

436
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 4: the playoff next year.

437
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: I don't think is gonna be an issue.

438
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 3: This was so disappointing of a loss, though, because they

439
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: were double digit favorites at one point this week they

440
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: ended up I think minus nine and a half over Miami.

441
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 3: So people aren't gonna forget this. Lord knows, somebody with

442
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 3: the belt will definitely not be forgetting this. I love it, honestly.

443
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 3: It makes me laugh every time. The belt to ask

444
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 3: movement that has been going on in sports now and

445
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: Michael Irving doing the most with it tonight, I'm good

446
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 3: with it.

447
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 4: I'm sure it's not his intention to draw attention away

448
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 4: from the team, but to a certain degree I think

449
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 4: it does. It's like you can be on the sideline

450
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 4: and cheer when the team does well, but you're doing

451
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 4: a little.

452
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 3: Too much for me, Mike, he thinks he's on the

453
00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: team still he does.

454
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: Yes, what was that speech he gave?

455
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: It was Jamis Winston Esque afterwards talking about you're not

456
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: gonna take away my glory speaking about the past. Yeah,

457
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: I'm here for it. But I know we got more

458
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: to talk about with college football because there are some

459
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: games that are being overlooked right now, Kevin. And it's

460
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: kind of a change into the guard. It's a new

461
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 3: era of college football. When you got twelve teams in

462
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 3: how much do you care about these bowl games going on?

463
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: We had Texas Michigan earlier and as our friend David

464
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 3: Vass would say, it was kind of whole hum. It

465
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 3: was a little bit ho hum out there. We'll talk

466
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: about that next. He's Kevin Figers. I'm out of Moslin.

467
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: It is fna in on The Ben Mallor Show. Happy

00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 3: just a few.

504
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: Huh.

505
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: Do they still have a Liberty Bowl? Was that happening today?

506
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: I'm confused.

507
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: I believe the.

508
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 4: Liberty Bowl does still exist. I know there was the

509
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 4: Liberty Mutual Classic Bowl or something like that earlier. Today

510
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 4: it's on Friday. It's on Friday between Navy and Cincinnati.

511
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: Oh Brilliantah, I'll meet you there.

512
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the point.

513
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: It's not the same. The bowl games have outlived their usefulness.

514
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 3: Now if their usefulness is so much about money, that

515
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 3: maybe does happen. Yeah that what do you always say, Kevin?

516
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 3: The answer is money?

517
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 4: Now?

518
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 3: What was the question?

519
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: That's I stole that from Rick Neuheisel. But it's true

520
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 4: when it comes to these situations. So I looked into

521
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 4: this Adam too. So if you go back to last year,

522
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 4: so the end of twenty twenty four, all these bowl

523
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 4: games that were happening in December, some of the ones

524
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 4: that were not of note per se, you know, the

525
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 4: Relia Quest Bowl, the Pop Tarts Ball, the alim Moo Bowl.

526
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 4: You realize all of these lesser bowls that were not playoff.

527
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 4: Playoff games average between six and eight million viewers. That's

528
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: pretty significant during the holidays when you're putting on live

529
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 4: for I understand why if you're ESPN and Petrols told

530
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 4: us this on the on our FNA show last week

531
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 4: on Friday, Like, look, it's it's a TV event for

532
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: for the for they want to have some live sports

533
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 4: to put on. There's nothing else going on during the holiday.

534
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 4: You put some live programming, you're gonna get eyeballs. Even

535
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 4: if it's just background noise, You're you're gonna get viewership.

536
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 2: So I understand why they still do it.

537
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 3: Passive viewing.

538
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: Heah, it's more of like a passive viewing for a

539
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: lot of people to be honest with you, like.

540
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: Me and the end of Stranger Things because it sucks. No,

541
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it all yet, no spoiler alert, but

542
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 3: six to eight million viewers. Yeah, the NBA Finals was

543
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 3: doing that last year. This is happening with random bowl

544
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 3: games right now now.

545
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 4: Grant if it's the Pop Tart Bowl and I have

546
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 4: to guess which Pop Tart is coming out at the

547
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 4: end of the game, then sure I might tune in

548
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 4: for that.

549
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 3: I thought I saw a pop tart at a barbecue,

550
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 3: like who was getting barbecued? Like they threw it on

551
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 3: the barbecue there to advertise for it. Now, if it

552
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 3: was the brown sugar and cinnamon one, my fay, I

553
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: don't care which what charcoal gets on that thing, I'm

554
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 3: good with it.

555
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 2: I take down force four six of those things easily.

556
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: Back in the day, the money will always justify the

557
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 3: bowl games.

558
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 2: I do care about his money.

559
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 3: But back when it was the BCS and it was

560
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 3: one game for the championship, there was no tournament. There

561
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: was no four team playoff, definitely not a twelve team

562
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: playoff like we have now. We were starved for just

563
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 3: more college football. We'll take what we can get, and

564
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: those one off games, those bowl games, they felt like

565
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 3: little mini championships, like the mini Boss before the Final Boss.

566
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 3: Like say you're playing streets a Rage, you play the

567
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: weird guy with the knives at the beginning, and then

568
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 3: by the end you're taking on mister X.

569
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 4: Well, the you have Shiva whatever or Shiva whatever his

570
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 4: name is, and then you can say mister X is

571
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 4: just sitting in his chair creepily staring at you, fighting Shiva.

572
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 4: And then once you beat him, he jumps from behind

573
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 4: the chair and brings out a giant machine gun.

574
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 3: When's fifty cent doing the documentary on mister X. I've

575
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 3: always wondered about them all, but it was different. Before

576
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: we had all these games with real stakes, where teams

577
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 3: were moving on, we were just happy to get You

578
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: remember when Oklahoma took on Alabama. I think it was

579
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: the Sugar Bowl and it was still Bob Stoops versus

580
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: is Nick Saban, and I think Oklahoma won, And that's

581
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: when we really started to get that narrative of, well,

582
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: if the SEC wins, it's because of the dominant conference.

583
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: You know what it was? It was Utah at them.

584
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 4: It was Utah Winningsham's first year and I believe it

585
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 4: was Saban's second year at Alabama something like it was

586
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 4: early in his Alabama tenure. I think before they ever

587
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 4: won a national title. And yes, you're one hundred percent right.

588
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 4: Utah went into the Sugar Bowl and ran Alabama off

589
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 4: the field, and the narrative was why Alabama didn't want

590
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 4: to be there anyway? They had a greater site. They

591
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 4: had their site set on the National Championship. This is

592
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 4: a letdown, which I always thought was total bs. You

593
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 4: if you're on the field, you're practiced for a month

594
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 4: leading up to the game you're playing. We didn't have

595
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 4: a transfer portal back then. All your guys suited up, which,

596
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 4: by the way, I think is a big part of it.

597
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 4: I'll get back to that in the second. But don't

598
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 4: give me the excuse because if Alabama would have won,

599
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 4: it's like, oh, another victory in the bowls bowl season

600
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 4: for it.

601
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 2: The SEC is what they do.

602
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you just can't flip the narrative based on

603
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 4: what's convenient for you. But a big part for me

604
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 4: that takes away from the from of these bowls. It's

605
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 4: not the fact that it's like not the BCS anymore,

606
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 4: not the fact that they're not playoff games. I'm fine

607
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 4: with non playoff bowl games. The problem is there's such

608
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 4: high roster turnover. Guys are entering the portal once the

609
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: regular season ends. Half the time, you don't know who's

610
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 4: going to be there and not. Players are opting out

611
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 4: left and right. If they're opting out because they're in

612
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 4: the portal, or they're opting out because they have the

613
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 4: designs of going into the NFL draft, which I understand.

614
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 4: We're never going to forget the Jalen Smith injury in

615
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 4: a non playoff BCS game or whatever it was back

616
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 4: back in the day at Notre Dame and it ruined

617
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 4: his entire career in his future, so I understand why

618
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 4: they do it. But players took pride and playing in

619
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 4: those bowl games, whether it was the Sugar Bowl, the

620
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 4: Rolls Bowl, or the Capitol Won Bowl or something like that.

621
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 4: All the players took pride and actually going, taking the

622
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 4: trip and playing in the game, and we had compelling matchups.

623
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: Now you have no idea who's going to be suiting

624
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 4: up for a team in a bowl game because these

625
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 4: guys are all entering the portal once the season ends.

626
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 3: That's fair too, but for me, the relevancy of bowl

627
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: games stops when you know longer have teams that would

628
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: be top ten in a tournament, a fictitious one we

629
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 3: never had back in the day, which we do have now,

630
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 3: so now we get to actually watch a playoff. So

631
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: it's just not the same if I'm watching LSU or

632
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 3: Alabama or Boise State. Like we were very intrigued with

633
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: Kellen Moore and those Boise State teams and their bowl games,

634
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 3: and it was bs when they pitted them against TCU.

635
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 3: I remember they didn't want to put them up against

636
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: an SEC team in case they lost. That stuff was

637
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 3: really intriguing. Now it's just whatever, when's the next playoff game?

638
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 3: When's the next game that actually matters out there? When

639
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 3: you have twelve teams involved. Even when you had four

640
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: teams involved, bowl games still meant more to me. Now

641
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 3: it's still everybody has their own traditions, and the viewership

642
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: seems to be high enough to I guess justify them

643
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: continuing here because the money is always going to say so.

644
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 3: But it just doesn't feel like the traditional Bowl season

645
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 3: like we used to have.

646
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like games have not been entertained.

647
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 4: I mean on Friday, Michigan in Texas was much more

648
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 4: higher scoring than I ever thought it would be. Iown,

649
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 4: Vanderbilt was good and they have both of their starting quarterbacks.

650
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 4: In that matchup, Arizona and Duke was high scoring, entertaining

651
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 4: USC and TCU went to overtime. It's not that the

652
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 4: games aren't necessarily competitive. It just, like I say, it

653
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: just feels different, and I think it's because for me,

654
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 4: at the very least, as someone who considers himself a

655
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 4: little bit of a college football purist. Again, I do

656
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 4: not mind postseason bowls that are not playoff games, but

657
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 4: I can't have it.

658
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: It's not gonna matter to me if it doesn't matter

659
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 2: to the players.

660
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 3: Well, we have the big issue for me, pass on

661
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 3: playing in a bowl game this season.

662
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 2: Multiple teams, by the way, Pass were playing bowl.

663
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 3: Game, but one was out of spite in Notre Dame.

664
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 3: That tells you about the relevancy, like they don't even care.

665
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 3: They view it as a consolation prize that nobody wants.

666
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: High level players aren't competing if they know they have

667
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: a future in the NFL and they're not making big

668
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 3: nil money now to justify you know, the insurance or

669
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: whatever you need to play in a game like that.

670
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: I think USC had twelve guys opt out. Now, that's

671
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: not an excuse for losing a TCU who had their

672
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: backup quarterback in there with the horn Frogs, of course,

673
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 3: but still, yes, if you don't have the best players,

674
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: you really aren't grading who's the better team coming out

675
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 3: of that game?

676
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 2: As much, yes, just as it glorified.

677
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 4: I mean they're glorified exhibitions anyway to a certain degree,

678
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 4: but even more so at that point. Because look, the

679
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 4: and one thing that people who try to defend this

680
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 4: will say is like, well there's extra ball practices looking

681
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 4: ahead to the next season. Twenty percent of FBS players

682
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 4: transfer out at the end of the year, So you

683
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 4: have no idea all these practices that you're banking up

684
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 4: in December, I could be with a group of guys

685
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,719
Speaker 4: who are not even gonna end up being there by

686
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 4: the time you get to spring ball.

687
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: So what do the practices really mean at that point?

688
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 3: Well, and we did have Brady Papinga on with us

689
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 3: recently and there was a Brady versus Brady, a Brady

690
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 3: off that the Brady Bowl actually was pretty good this

691
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 3: season between him and Brady Quinn here on Fox Sports Radio.

692
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 3: And I do understand what Brady Quinn is saying, like

693
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 3: I'm not risking anything for what is pretty much a

694
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 3: meaningless game. I also understand what Brady Papina said, some

695
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 3: of that practice time could be valuable to guys, and

696
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: more so than anything what he said, it can be

697
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: a slippery slope at one point at what point do

698
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: we get to guys just packing it in at the

699
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: end of seasons because they aren't making the playoff. They

700
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 3: got four or five losses, it's a down year. They

701
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 3: don't want to risk injury either. We don't want to

702
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 3: head down that path. Now all of a sudden, regular

703
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: seasons are being more and more diminished, as people are

704
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 3: already worried about that with expanding the playoffs too. I

705
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: don't want to see that happen. So I understand both

706
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: sides of the debate. I probably would lean towards Brady

707
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: Quinn a little bit more.

708
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I will say this, Adam, who's to say

709
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 4: that's not gonna happen, especially if there's a program that

710
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 4: has high enough expectations. If you are I'm just I'll

711
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 4: say Florida State or something, Hey, I expectations coming into

712
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 4: the season.

713
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: Things obviously didn't go the way that you planned.

714
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 4: After you at the big up at the start of

715
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 4: the year against Alabama, If you are a no doubt

716
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 4: first round, top ten pick or something like that, and

717
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 4: you saw by the time you got to early November

718
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 4: that this season was in the dumpster, it will not

719
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 4: surprise me at all in the next couple of years

720
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 4: of a guy that says, yeah, I know there's three

721
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 4: games left in the regular season, but I'm leaving now.

722
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 4: It's not a good sign to show to NFL teams.

723
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 4: You're basically quitting on your team at that point in

724
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 4: time as part of the interview process. Almost But if

725
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 4: you're talented enough, I mean, look at the guys who

726
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,719
Speaker 4: can get drafted into the NFL, Guys who with all

727
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 4: the things that some of these guys have done, If

728
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 4: you're talented enough, note that's.

729
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 2: Not gonna matter.

730
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, talent over everything, that wouldn't be a concern or

731
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: the deciding factor for an NFL team, of course.

732
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 4: So even taking the Bowl, if Bulls go away out

733
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 4: of that equation, I think that's probably something that's going

734
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 4: to come to a head at some point here in

735
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 4: the next couple of years.

736
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 3: In the end, as much as we're bitching about bowls

737
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 3: and you know, getting after our member Barris here pretty

738
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 3: pretty hard. While it is the end of twenty twenty five,

739
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: in the end, do they really hurt any one by

740
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: continuing season. Maybe it's not like it used to be,

741
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 3: but it doesn't hurt anything. We still get our playoff.

742
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 3: We still get our bowl games. They're there if you

743
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 3: want them, that's the thing.

744
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 4: They're there if you want them, and plenty in between

745
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 4: six and eight million people apparently want them.

746
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: I mean, one thing I've heard that I would want proposal.

747
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: I heard a couple of weeks ago that I actually

748
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: like that.

749
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 4: Some have come up with what if you took a

750
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 4: portion of the ball, because Petros brought this up to

751
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 4: us when we had them on our show. There's too

752
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 4: many baths, there's too many bowl games. There's not enough

753
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 4: good teams to fill the bowl games. So what I

754
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 4: would do is take some of these balls and move

755
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 4: them to the front of the season and have them

756
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 4: be like some part of like your college football kickoff

757
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 4: week or two weeks so whatever, and have these sponsorships

758
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 4: attached to these ball games at these neutral sites.

759
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: Maybe have a slotting system like you have now.

760
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 4: The third ranked Big twelve team from the previous season

761
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 4: faces the third ranked SEC team from the previous season,

762
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 4: and they both play each other in the Sun Bowl.

763
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 2: Whatever it is.

764
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: Because the supply is supply and demand, the demand is

765
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 3: so high because people are just starved for college foot well,

766
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 3: they will take anything. At the beginning of the season right. Well,

767
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 3: now we're being more picky and chuesy because we actually

768
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: have a twelve team playoff and we're like, ah, these

769
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 3: bull games. I don't know, maybe maybe the milk's gone

770
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 3: bad here on some of these things.

771
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 4: But if Tennessee and Illinois are playing each other in

772
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 4: mid August, You're like, oh my god, this could be great,

773
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 4: this could be a separator. This is like, these are

774
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 4: two I mean, solid programs in the in the Big ten,

775
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 4: in the SEC.

776
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 3: Who knows people are feeding for those games, like Michael

777
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 3: Urbans feeding to get that belt out, But it's a

778
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 3: good use. I was gonna say something else was feeding there.

779
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, look like he's a remember of jobasy the

780
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 4: ways out there taking his belt off and gyrating out

781
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 4: there on the sideline, just talking about feening.

782
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 3: First of all, if I still have a six pack,

783
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 3: it's sixty or whatever he is, And that was showing

784
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: off tonight, like he could actually go out there and

785
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 3: wear that mid riff jersey that they all used to

786
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 3: wear and look pretty damn good. Michael Irwy's in great shape.

787
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Elliott wishes he had that.

788
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 3: That's Oh yeah, well, are you doing too much?

789
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: Eating. He's all eating.

790
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: Coming up next is FNA filling in for Ben Malor.

791
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: We do have a little bit of stranger than fiction

792
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 3: for you, an animal addition, And I know we're almost

793
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 3: out of twenty twenty five, but snakes aren't gonna be

794
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 3: left in twenty twenty five. They're not going extinct. They

795
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 3: will still be with us in twenty twenty six. Thanks. Well,

796
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 3: that have to be snakes. As to my Happy New Year, well,

797
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 3: well we can get into that coming up next, because

798
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 3: I will tell you how to navigate the situation with snakes,

799
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 3: especially in Florida, Florida, man everywhere, but also in Australia.

800
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 3: That's coming up next and Stranger than fiction as it's

801

Speaker 4: Ben Malard here on Fox Sports Radio. Coming up next hour,

806
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 4: got a very important question for you guys, and you

807
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 4: could chime in on X I can't fig one and

808
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 4: that follow out and make and also check in at

809
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 4: eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox as we headed

810
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 4: to the New year, what change would you make to

811
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 4: your favorite sport or any sport for that matter. You

812
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 4: give me a sport that you hate, and he's like,

813
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm so damn tired of football. Why

814
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 4: don't they use their feet more? If they use their

815
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 4: feet more in football, damn it, I will love it

816
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 4: more and I would accept it.

817
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 3: Who is the guy on sixty minutes, Kevin that you

818
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 3: have referenced many times back in the day, was like,

819
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 3: why is a orange called an orange, but a banana

820
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 3: is a banana? Why don't they call it a yellow?

821
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 2: I don't remember, that's right, ipund.

822
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: It a little bit like that type of logic there

823
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 3: for a second, but I liked it.

824
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, hey, whatever works for you.

825
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 4: That's not necessarily where I'm going with it, but just

826
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 4: to give you a very elementary example of where you

827
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 4: can go with it, there it is.

828
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 3: I'm going to make a change. The Clippers stopped losing.

829
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 3: Actually that's already happened.

830
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: Well, look at you, O.

831
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 3: Brie just rolled her eyes.

832
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: What do they so they're only like, what thirteen games

833
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: under five hunds?

834
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 4: Now?

835
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: Right? Did you know Brie's still playing an ugly sweater contest?

836
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 3: And she has her Phoenix Sun sweater on tonight. B

837
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 3: you notice fighting words, Brie, Brie.

838
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 4: By the way, you notice how he just glossed over

839
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 4: my Clippers record despite the fact that they.

840
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 3: Can thirteen games underth mind mind er, do you want

841
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 3: to keep we can just keep saying that all show

842
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: it's actually just ten to now, Thank you very much.

843
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, damn really closing in on the Utaw jazz there, Adam,

844
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 4: good job, guys.

845
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 3: There's a lot of season left. Let me tell you something.

846
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 3: There's a lot of show left here too, But we

847
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 3: got to get to stranger things.

848
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: Fast food customer defending perticies n called nine one one

849
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: after her McDonald's run out of McNuggets.

850
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 2: Strange.

851
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 6: You can't give a drunk man riding a horse at

852
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 6: ewy and he got Unlike cards, ardes don't have motors,

853
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 6: they have in mind in their own Strange things begin.

854
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 2: Twenty four year old man now Jusa.

855
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 3: They're throwing an alligator through a drive through window. Strange, Okay,

856
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 3: it's stranger than fiction here. You know, in Australia they

857
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 3: get to the New Year before most anywhere else in

858
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 3: the world, as they're nineteen hours ahead of us. Here

859
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 3: on the West Coast in the United States. So they

860
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 3: have seen the future and it's apparently much more dangerous

861
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 3: than we could have ever imagined, not only because maybe

862
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 3: the world financial system is about to crash and only

863
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 3: Cooigne will be accepted and we're back to being subjects

864
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 3: of King Kanye West in twenty twenty six. Now that's

865
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 3: like a black Mirror episode I never need to see.

866
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 3: It's because animals appear to be getting more and more

867
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 3: threatening and dangerous as they become more comfortable with us humans.

868
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 3: So it's not all fun and games with the animal kingdom.

869
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 3: Like Jack Black and Paul Rudd running around with that

870
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 3: new Anaconda movie that's a comedy. Snakes, Why have to

871
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 3: be snakes? John Boyd didn't get swallowed, spit up and

872
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 3: then swallowed again for them to make Anaconta into a comedy.

873
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 3: All right, But speaking of the movies, I'm speaking of Kanye, Well,

874
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 3: there is Snakes on a Plane, and Kanye had his

875
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 3: own snakes on a Plane line in a song before.

876
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 3: Never seen snakes on a plane. There's snakes in a

877
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: Subaru in Australia. As this week there was a coastal

878
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 3: carpet python that took a magic carpet type of ride

879
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 3: as it attached itself to a family vehicle and the

880
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: stowaway snake traveled nine hours across Queensland from Toowoomba to

881
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 3: the Central Coast as it was hitching a ride like

882
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 3: Green Day on the fuel tank of the car. When

883
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: the family saw the three foot python underneath the chassis,

884
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: they pulled over at an Australian reptile park to have

885
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: a snake handler uncoil it. I'm just surprised they actually

886
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 3: have a reptile park. It seems redundant, Like, isn't Australia

887
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 3: just basically one big reptile park with dangerous animals everywhere?

888
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, if it's not the sharks, then the reptiles

889
00:38:59,640 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: will get you.

890
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 3: I didn't know they needed parks or zoos there. The

891
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 3: whole continent is just that.

892
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: Well, the kangaroo will come and kick the crap out

893
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 2: of you too. Yeah.

894
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 3: The wild animal thing we got in San Diego has

895
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: nothing on Australia. Australian Reptile Park Head of Reptiles, though,

896
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 3: Dialon Wallace.

897
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 2: Dialon Dialond Dialond dialand dialand.

898
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 3: Said he's never seen a snake travel that distance before again.

899
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 3: Talk to Kanye about how far he went in that plane.

900
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 3: But you snake huggers out there, don't worry. It was

901
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 3: on the fuel tank, which means it was safe because

902
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: the elements weren't getting to it on its nine hour

903
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: trip across the country and the continent. And I guess

904
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 3: being close to the turning wheels created like a lot

905
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 3: of ventilation to keep the snake cool.

906
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 2: Interesting.

907
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the snake was a python again and unfortunately they

908
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 3: just shipped its ass back to Queensland. It made that

909
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 3: nine hour trip and they just.

910
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 2: Said I came all the way this damn way for

911
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 2: nothing and he throw me your rat or something. At least,

912
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 2: jeez Bill.

913
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 3: It took that trip for a reason. To the Central Coast.

914
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 2: I never thought that I'd be sympathizing with a freaking python,

915
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 2: but here I am.

916
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 3: That snake. Want to see the beaches in the Central Coast, right,

917
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 3: They want a little vacation, little vaca. I wanted to

918
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 3: slither on the beaches, looking at the beaches, checking out

919
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 3: the honeys there.

920
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

921
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 3: I always get worried about a python getting flushed down

922
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 3: the toilet in my apartment complex, and then I'm sitting

923
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 3: there and it goes through the pipes.

924
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 4: And I did see win animals attack situation years ago,

925
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 4: when I've been haunted by that ever since.

926
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 2: So yes, I'm right there with you.

927
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 4: Things I probably have no that don't necessarily have to

928
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 4: be paranoid about, but I most definitely am.

929
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 3: If I lived in Australia. Instead of one of those

930
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 3: bumper stickers that said, you know when cat haters have

931
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 3: one that says, can't find your cat, check under my tire,

932
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 3: I'd say, if you can't find your pet python, seriously,

933
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 3: just check under your tire. It might be there. On

934
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 3: a nine hour road trip. They attached them selves there.

935
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 3: He's getting figures. I'm I'm Moslin. It's FNA in for

936
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 3: Ben Mallor here on Fox Sports Radio
