Speaker 1: Troy pom poms right now, going, come on, Troy, see

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: this through it. Maybe we can go to the college

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: football playoff if we win tomorrow. All of a sudden,

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon, all the posturing, everything back and forth, We're

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: coming down to it. The next twenty four hours are

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: going to be absolutely huge.

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 3: We could see.

19
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: Teams like Alabama get left out. The door could be

20
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,919
Speaker 1: open for Duke if they win. Now, all the posturing

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: that we've heard all week, all the hey, here's our resume,

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: here's what we've done, here's this, here's that.

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 3: Now we get to the games.

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 4: See how chesty people get over the next twenty four hours,

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 4: how many of their sycophants start writing more missives or

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 4: hit to TikTok or Instagram videos. Hey, let me give

27
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 4: you one more point about why I love this squad

28
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 4: and why my team And then they accidentally show too

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 4: much of their sec tattoo or whatever that starts to

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 4: come through Notre Dame colors dress up like a leprecha

31
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 4: on whatever the case may be. This one also interesting

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 4: because Troy was a twenty three and a half point

33
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 4: dog in this game, and James Madison can just create

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 4: no separation at this point.

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, this is a big deal because you know, Duke, Obviously,

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: the ACC is the big center of dramas there is

37
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: with Alabama and George as well, because Alabama is on

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: the cusp of potentially being left out depending how that

39
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: game goes tomorrow. But the ACC title game, which no

40
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: one's gonna watch Virginia and Duke. Duke gets seven and five,

41
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: you get the automatic berth if you're one of the

42
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: top conferences, but you gotta be one of the top

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: conference champions as far as the rankings go, and Duke

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: is not going to be there, but James Madison will

45
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: be there ranked twenty fifth right now.

46
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: But they won't be twenty.

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: Fifth anymore if they lose this game Detroit and the

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: Sun Belt Championship. So all of a sudden, the door

49
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: is open for Duke if they pull the upset against

50
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: Virginia tomorrow to maybe be able to politic enough to

51
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: get into the college football playoff. But you gave me

52
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: an idea right there, Mike Carmon, You gave me an

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: idea right there, and tell me this wouldn't be a

54
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: must see thing, the biggest mussy thing in college football

55
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: all year.

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: Okay, tell me wouldn't see Okay, Now, let me.

57
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: Just throw this out for where we're sitting at right

58
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: now with teams that potentially could be left out, you know, understanding,

59
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: you know we still with still a game left to go,

60
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: Like I would like a two part part of this, right,

61
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: So just think about this. Right, you get the head

62
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: coaches from let's say Alabama Notre Dame. Right, you get

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: you Kaylin debor in, you get Marcus Freeman in right,

64
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: you know, you get Miami, you get Sark, you get

65
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Texas in right, you get Mario cristoball in from Miami.

66
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: You get all You get all these schools right that

67
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: are sitting there and need to make their case to

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: make the playoff. Right not not not school Look schools

69
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: like Indiana, it doesn't matter if they lose. They can

70
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: lose to Ohio State tomorrow fifty six. Nothing like Indiana's

71
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: getting it. But you get the true four or five schools,

72
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: like the big schools that need to politic to get in, right,

73
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: that needed part to get in. We love debates in

74
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: this country. We watch all kinds of debates, watch presidential debates,

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: all kinds. You put all of these coaches on stage

76
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: with a moderator, okay, with a mod and you make

77
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: them all have to make their case for the college

78
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: football playoff. They take questions, Maybe people in the crowd

79
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: get to ask questions, They get to comment on each other. Right,

80
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: can you imagine like like Steve Sarkisian talking about, Hey,

81
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: the three top ten teams they beat. Look at this,

82
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: and then suddenly you get you get Mario Cristobaul over

83
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: the top going you lost to three team, You lost

84
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: the three teams that weren't even in the top ten.

85
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: What are you talking about here? You lost to a

86
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: guy who's standing right next to me, No Today, or

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: what you beat? No tredame who's standing right next to me? Like,

88
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: can you imagine what that would be like? You get

89
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: all these guys on stage for like an hour debate

90
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: and watch them just sweat their asses off after like

91
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: the first fifteen minutes as they try to make their

92
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: cases and make against the cases for the other schools.

93
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: Tell me that wouldn't be the biggest watched hour of

94
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: television college football in the year.

95
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think the biggest thing is that at

96
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 4: least their opening remarks have to be done rap battle

97
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: style like in Hamilton.

98
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so I need some creativity here. I mean

99
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of money there, there's a lot of

100
00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: preparation times.

101
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 4: Just give me a couple of bullet points. That's not

102
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 4: gonna sell me. You gotta win me over. I mean,

103
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: full greatest showman's style, a couple of dancers, fire eaters,

104
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: whatever you got, you gotta take me. It's a TV show, right,

105
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 4: It's all a TV show to get into a TV show.

106
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 5: So you gotta wow me with something a little more.

107
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: Oh, come on, I just gave you a great idea now, no,

108
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: that's not good enough.

109
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: Oh no, why rap more?

110
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 3: What are you talking about? You know what?

111
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: That's an idea for like seas so they've already got

112
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of jackasses. They can just steal their talking points.

Speaker 5: I asked for a little much. I did like the

118
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,719

Speaker 3: Come on, just think about that for a second.

133
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: Just think if that was that was how we decided

134
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,760

138
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: you get, you know, and you get what's his name

139
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,320

141
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: Oh you look in the area right here in Miami.

142
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: This is where Mario Cristobal made a lot of send.

143
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: He gain a lot of voters here this part of Miami,

144
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: in this lower part of Alabama. But look up here

145
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: right here, right around South Bed. No votes coming in

146
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: right here. Nothing going on right there, and Kornacki is

147
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: just hitting the buttons and showing.

148
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: Now if you were wowed by by Debor, I'll tell

149
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 4: you you know, Notre Dame is part of this though.

150
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 4: I mean, Freeman was on the Today Show the other

151
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: day and he was charming as hell according to the

152
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: exit polls. So I mean, you know, you had the

153
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 4: people that were on set with him looking uncomfortable that

154
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 4: he was he was winning and they were getting charmed away.

155
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: So I'll just think about that. How great idea that

156
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: would be.

157
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: Well, I like that though, I mean, like you can

158
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: see him sweat. Look at he's sweating. It's got like

159
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: the Nixon Kennedy debate.

160
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 5: I don't know.

161
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: They should have done a better lighting job with him

162
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 4: over there, and they got him like he looking like

163
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: he's turning green.

164
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: He is really sweating right there, so.

165
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 5: It just doesn't look healthy.

166
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: The biggest game of the night again, James Madison and

167
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: Troy Troy with the ball near midfield, down three eight

168
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 1: minutes to go in the fourth quarter.

169
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: We'll keep you updated on this Pete fu Tech.

170

00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: off a little bit more clarity following this game.

172
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: But about the Boise State Broncos. I'm actually wearing a

173
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: Broncos hat. I was mucked by Ron Gara. I had

174
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 4: my Northwestern jagged. I right, I had to walk the

175
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 4: dog whatever, and you know, people have been sick around here,

176
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: so I'm like, I'm protecting myself at all costs here.

177
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: And then I grabbed a hat out of the car

178
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: and it was the boys. He staying, he goes, you're

179

Speaker 4: repping two schools. I can't go for that. I'm like, yeah, no, what,

180
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: I already paid what through the nose for the other one.

Speaker 1: I mean really, I gotta say I'm on Robb's side

186
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: of that.

187
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: You look confused. You don't know what I said.

188
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: It's better than the adoption of schools that a lot

189
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: of people do around.

190
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just gonna wear everything in my closet

191
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,000

Speaker 1: your clothes, chamber.

193
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 4: That is so not the opposite of all I Hey,

00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 4: if I could have found the Santa Clara shirt, I

195
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 4: would have died throve on top of that one. Tom,

196
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 4: everybody who's gotten out of it, and you siphoned off

197
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 4: my money.

198
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 5: Let's go so.

206
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 4: Kevin Hart was bored. It was just insane. I mean

207
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: it was to watch them going, this is the World Cup. Try,

208
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 4: this is what we're doing. This is how we're doing it. Okay,

209
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,520

211
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: You watch the World Cup draw today, you like, if

212
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: you ever go to a foreign country and you watch

213
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: a TV show that's really popular and you go, what

214
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: the hell is this? I don't understand what is going

215
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: on with this thing? And you go, I don't get it.

216
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: But you know, you don't know the culture, you don't

217
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: know the any the characters, nothing else.

218
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: It just looks really weird. I pitch you, that's what

219
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: people coming to the.

220
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: United States and they're vacation in the United States if

221
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: they watched the World Cup drawing, going.

222
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 5: What the hell is this? Who is this band singing

223
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 5: this song?

224
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: And they're not even singing all the words like the

225
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: village people are singing and they're not even singing all

226
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: the words.

227
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: They're just singing the chorus, not even all the people.

228
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: You remember, like, what is happening? The hell it's to

229
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 4: village people?

230
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 5: The hell here? It might be transporting back.

231
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: I watched it, going, what is what is going on here?

232
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: This is insane?

233
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: But the good news is that and this is also

234
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: the bad news. The good news is that the United

235
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: States draw in the World Cup for next year and

236
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: probably the best. You couldn't ask for a better draw

237
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: unless you gave them a bye into the knockout round

238
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: in Group D, Australia, Paraguay and the winner of a

239
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: fourteen playoff that involves Kosovo, Romania, Slovakia and TURKEYA. I mean,

240
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: this is who's in our We're not group of death.

241
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: We're in the group of everlasting life. This is like, hey, everybody,

242
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: just come here and live forever.

243
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: Look, I forget chat the rest of the rankings, but

244
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: it's like, here we go.

245
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: We've already beaten Australian, Paraguay and friendlies when we haven't

246
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: had our whole team. And I know, look and already

247
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: you know, Mauricio Pocatino had to say, hey, hey, hey, hey,

248
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: let's not get complacent.

249
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: Okay.

250
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: I understand we think we're not a buye into the

251
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: knockout round, but I understand that. But I gotta be

252
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: honest with you. This is about it is that fantagious

253
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: as you can get. This is what happens when you

254
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: spend all that money to host the World Cup.

255
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: This is what you get.

256
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: You get a draw like this I'm sorry, but you

257
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: know what, all the other countries had stuff like this

258
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: that so now right now it's our turn. But I

259
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: gotta say this, if we don't get out a group stage, Okay,

260
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: I know we have problems, right, I know we have problems.

261
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: I know we have some issues.

262
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: And Bokatino's trying to figure out the right mix of guys.

263
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: And he had one one camp where it was mostly

264
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: MLS players and now you're welcoming some of the guys

265
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: back who play on the team long term, some of

266
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: the guys you remember from the last few years. Like,

267
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: he's still trying to figure out exactly who he's gonna take.

268
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: But I have confidence he's a good he's a good

269
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: head coach. He's just got to get he's just got

270
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: to get all the guys on his page right because

271
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: he I still think he was the right call to

272
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: go out and get to come in and put a

273
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: stamp on this team. But I got all those problems,

274
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: all that stuff might harmon all this stuff, all the problems,

275
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: all those other If we don't get out a group

276
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: playing into the knockout round, we should stop playing soccer

277
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: in this country. We sho say, you know, what we tried.

278
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: We tried for a long time and we just can't

279
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: do it. Man, I'm so I don't know, I don't

280
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: know what to say. But we're gonna stop all the

281
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: youth programs. We're getting rid of all of them. We're

282
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: getting rid of the MLS. We'll let them play one

283
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: more year and then they're finished. Soccer is done. We're

284
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: not gonna play. We can't play because if we can't

285
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: get out of group play right here, there's no reason

286
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: why we should continue to play this sport. This is

287
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: the this is the easiest draw you could possibly want

288
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: and ask for. And if we can't get out of group, man,

289
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we're never gonna get close to winning a world.

290
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 5: Now here's the thing.

291
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 4: You can say, Well, we can redeploy those assets, but

292
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 4: go city to city, go state to state. I'm looking

293
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 4: at our fair state of California. Are we gonna do

294
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 4: anything better with that money? No, they're gonna put it

295
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 4: in another projects. So it's a failed multi billion dollar efforts.

296
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 4: So now they keep running through, double up, redouble your efforts.

297
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 4: In terms of money's allocated here, FIFA ranking thirty nine

298
00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 4: for Paraguay is in twenty six for Australia, and then

299
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 4: you go on down to the rest where we were

300
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 4: talking about eighty forty nine, et cetera. And those games

301
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 4: won't be played till March. So you're looking at the

302
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 4: opportunity of a lifetime here the home cooking.

303
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 5: However you want to go to the draw.

304
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 4: And we've certainly chronicled in our years together here at

305
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio, Jason, plenty of scandal plenty and eyebrow

306
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 4: raising moment related to FIFA. And here's just an example

307
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: of all right, come on, walk on through. Don't take it,

308
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 4: you know, don't take it too lightly. You still have

309
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: to win. You can't just get the automatic buys. Nobody's

310
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 4: dropping out. You can make all sorts of jokes people

311
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 4: certainly did politically in terms of how the USA could

312
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: move forward. I'll just leave that on the table. You

313
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,800

362
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. And I didn't look this up.

363
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: I knew this off the top of my head. I

364
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: was just waiting to say it. I mean they got

365
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: like a one percent increase in same venue sales. I

366
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: mean that's a you know it's coming after a longer

367
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: trend they had of declining same venue sales. But now

368
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: for the full year they've raised their revenue to be

369
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: between three point eighty six billion three point nine two billion.

370
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: Again, I know all this off the top of my head.

371
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 5: No, that's that was really good. You want to get

372
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 5: some lines in there while you're at it.

373
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 3: Oh, since this was ai, everything I just said not proven.

374
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 5: Just make sure people know that it's well played.

375
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 4: Well played, my friend. But yeah, for all of it,

376
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 4: it's it's now just it's winning time, right. You got

377
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,360

439
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:47,480

440
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: He is having to be separated from them. He is screaming.

441
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,000

442
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: Madison get the touchdown. He I can't believe they haven't

443
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,880

444
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,919

448
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 4: a replay of anything. They just got the camera on

449
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 4: him like he's.

450
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean that that shot better than any WWE promo

451
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: of the last five years right there.

452
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

453
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,399

Speaker 1: for a touchdown.

460
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,320

471
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: happening because we we were at the like, it's a

472
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: very famous game now, the snow but you can find it.

473
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: Joe Paterno gets on the mic. It's a late November

474
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: game and it's the fra. Pam and I had just

475
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: started dating and it was our first we went to

476
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Michigan Penn State. We were both living in in Connecticut

477
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: working for ESPN. You know, it's first time we took

478
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: a trip as a couple, and we met her aunt

479
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: and uncle who.

480
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: Are basically they based.

481
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: She basically grew up as her sister and we're extremely

482
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: close with them to this day. First time I met

483
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: them and we go to the game and it's a

484
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: big game and Penn State wins the game.

485
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 3: But the big deal was it was absolutely one of.

486
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: The worst experiences I've ever had go into a game

487
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: because it was so incredibly cold and slush and sleet

488
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: and snow, and you know, you have to get to

489
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: Happy Valley eight hours before kickoff because you're not just

490
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: walking into that state.

491
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, that plain to get to Yes, Oh my.

492
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: Goodness, was that rough.

493
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: And so we get there and it's it's really I mean,

494
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: we're there, like again the game is it at three

495
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: third and we're there, I think at nine thirty, I'm like,

496
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: this is my and it's just so cold and snowy,

497
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: and my feet were froze. I think my feet were

498
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: in water and ice the entire game.

499
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 3: It was just it was just awful.

500
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: And midway the late part of the game, Penn State's

501
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: winning and there you kind of realize they're gonna win

502
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: the game. Michigan gets in, they score a touchdown, and

503
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: fans just unload with snowballs on on Michigan's receiver.

504
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: It might have been.

505
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: Mercury Hayes that they were throwing snowballs at and they

506
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: were just pelting him with snow. It was like, oh

507
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: my goodness, like because we could see it all the

508
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: way down at the end and the PA announcer gets

509
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: on and says, you know, reminder to please stop throwing

510
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: snowballs onto the field of the players, which is basically saying, hey, guys,

511
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: just grab those snowballs and just unload.

512
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: Right. So there's more.

513
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: There's another moment where Michigan's driving and there's a there's

514
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: a playdown. It's a I think it's a fourth down

515
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: incomplete pass near the end zone, and again the snowballs.

516
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: Come flying out. It's like, oh my, this is insane.

517
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: And Joe Paterno runs up and grabs a microphone from

518
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: one of the refreeze and goes, hey, stop throwing snowballs

519
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: out of the field and playing what are you doing?

520
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: Like oh wow, this is oh my goodness, I'm seeing

521
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: news happen in front of me right now. And so

522
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: it's a really big thing. He brands down, gets on

523
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: the thing, and everybody stopped after that, because you know,

524
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: this is before all the all the stuff about Joe

525
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: Paterno and the Penn State program and subsequent years came out.

526
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: This is when Joe Paul was, you know, one of

527
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: the most beloved guys in the world, one of the

528
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: most beloved college football coaches.

529
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 3: We had seen he did.

530
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, okay, I'm stopping and nobody else throw a

531
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: snowball like that was it?

532
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 3: It's like, wow, he's got it. He's got a lot

533
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: of power here.

534
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 5: Oh no, you want to talk about Yeah, no question

535
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 5: about it.

536
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 4: Uh.

537
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, but there was another warning for snowballs at

538
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: the game today and after the after the last touchdown,

539
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: there were some snowballs thrown on the field.

540
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

541
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: Today we had the the a D James Madison ad

542
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: actually yet on the mic earlier in the game and

543
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: tell fans to stop throwing snowballs.

544
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: So maybe that's what it was about. Again.

545
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: We'll we'll keep following trying to figure things out here

546
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: because clearly this is going to open the door for

547
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: James Madison to get into the college football playoff. Uh.

548
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: If Duke upset, that's Virginia tomorrow. Uh be a really

549
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: hard thing to tell twenty fifth rank James Madison. Oh yeah, sorry, hey,

550
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, but Duke is eight and five, So we're

551
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna we're gonna put Duke.

552
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 2: Ahead of you.

553
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: Okay, just so you know we're gonna do that.

554
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 4: Well, but you know what, you open the door for chaos.

555
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 4: Never let it go to the judges, as they say.

556
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 4: But but I still go back to just h Parker

557
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 4: losing his mind on the sideline because you anticipate it's like,

558
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 4: you know, you watch it live action, there's always the.

559
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 5: All right, was his arm moving forward? Was there?

560
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 3: You know?

561
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 5: Was the guy when he went to pick up the

562
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 5: ball that his.

563
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 4: Knee scrape or or some part of his body scraped

564
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 4: orhere you would say, hey, that guy should have been

565
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 4: down at the spot like so on the play there's

566
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 4: none of that. Literally, the quarterback drops the ball as

567
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 4: the HiT's gonna come, and it's a clean scoop and score.

568
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 4: So you know, now it becomes the without the benefit

569
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 4: of audio, Like, I really want to know what the

570
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 4: hell he was losing his mind to be that there's

571
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 4: something that was our fracas on the other side of

572
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 4: the field that we didn't see, and you'll get in

573
00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 4: the all twenty two.

574
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know.

575
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if this was a case of

576
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: it's been such a close game the entire way and

577
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: Troy thought they were you know, they were right there

578
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: to pull the upset and the touchdown.

579
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 3: You know, the big drive.

580
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: They have a big running play for about thirty yards

581
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: and a big then the quarterback quarterback keeper for the touchdown,

582
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: and that that you know, and then okay, so now

583
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: they're down there driving. Then you get the play that

584
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: clinches it. Right now, now it's over because it's it's

585
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a fumble and a return for

586
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and it's a three score game and there's

587
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: three minutes left to play, and you just know that

588
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: it's over, and you're mad, and you're mad and you're

589
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: frustrated about something. So you either see the snowball falling

590
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: or something else and you just start absolutely, you know,

591
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: losing your mind as what it.

592
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 5: Was, kind of like what we talked about yesterday.

593
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: But just to give you an up update right now

594

00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: the college football playoff.

605
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 5: Trying to bunch a ticket just like he did back

Speaker 1: the two biggest games tomorrow we have Indiana Ohio State.

610
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: Isn't that huge a game. It's a great game because

611
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: we have two undefeated teams one to two in the country,

612
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: a lot of attention on them. Indiana's kind of been

613
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: America's team this year. Uh you know, Look, you've watched

614
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: them all year on Fox. You've watched Ohio State all

615
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: year on Fox. It's gonna be a great game. Everybody's

616
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: gonna watch because it is a great even though both

617
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: teams are going to the playoff, the winner's gonna gonna

618
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: be one of the top seeds, Like okay, so you're

619
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: fighting for that, So there's stakes there, But overall, you know,

620
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: both these teams are going I'd love to pick Indiana,

621
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: but Ohio State is just that much better everywhere.

622
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: I feel like Ohio State's been waiting for a stamp game.

623
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 1: And and while they you know, they wanted Michigan to

624
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: be their stamp game, with how it's gone the last years,

625
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: it's just been look, just walk out of that game

626
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: with a w like Ryan Day just had to walk

627
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: out of that game, doesn't matter if it was ten

628
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: to nine or four to three, like he had to

629
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: win that game. And their offense played at the best

630
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: level that I have seen them play at because Mischig,

631
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how they didn't score more points. Michigan

632
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: couldn't stop anything Ohio State did. They couldn't cover their receivers,

633
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: they couldn't pressure the quarterback, they couldn't stop the running

634
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: game like Ohio State was just absolutely on point in

635
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: that game.

636
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 3: But this is their stamp game, where.

637
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, we know you're good, but all right, Michigan,

638
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: they've lost three games. This is where they've been looking for,

639
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: this effort to say, yeah, now you want to really

640
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: believe we're the biggest, baddest guys on the block. This

641
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: is the game they're looking for. All their wins up

642
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: till now, they've been kind of mad. Right even if

643
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: you look at Texas. All right, Texas has won three

644
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: games against top ten teams. They've lost three games against

645
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: top ten teams.

646
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 3: So okay.

647
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: But even though Fernano Mendoza could win the Heisman with

648
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: a winning a big game here, like, it's still wide

649
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: open for that. I'm not sold he can be great

650
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: against Ohio State. They're just so talented across the board

651
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: that do I see it being close early? Yeah, but

652
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: it would have to be Julian saying turning the ball

653
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 1: over three times and five turnovers.

654
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 3: Overall for Ohio State to lose this game.

655
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe that Indianas and Kurt

656
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: Signette you're walking out of us with a win to Mark.

657
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the curious thing for Ohio State, right, all

658
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 4: of the questions of how good are they all season long,

659
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 4: You've played without some of your biggest stars, particularly your

660
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 4: wide receivers for a stretch of this season. To your point,

661
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 4: the Heisman Trophy gets decided in this game, all right,

662
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: Mendoza the favorite. The odds is, we see it right

663
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 4: now plus one fifty five saying at plus two hundred.

664
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 4: So they'll battle it out, and look, it won't be

665
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 4: decided by them. It's gonna be whether each team establishes

666
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 4: a running game and whether the defense can actually get

667
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 4: a stop. You'll get at forty four points a game

668
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 4: for Indiana, thirty seven a game for Ohio State, and

669
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 4: just the excellence of execution. Both team has been very

670
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 4: good defensively obviously all season long. But the rubber meets

671
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 4: the road here as we look at our odds for

672
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 4: this game, you know, all week just waiting for this

673
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 4: matchup and the battle of what is it? Four points spread?

674
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: It was three and a half I saw a little

675
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 4: bit earlier in the week's up to four. Forty six

676
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 4: and a half is the total. We'll talk to Todd

677
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 4: Ferman in about two hours to break down these games

678
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 4: a little bit further in the NFL slate. But part

679
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 4: of me wants to see Signetti do it just for

680
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 4: the pure chaos it and what Indiana has become in

681
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 4: this new age of college football, to really remind folks

682
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 4: all right, in this new age in a year or two,

683
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 4: with the right amount of money spent, you know, Michigan

684
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 4: State getting four hundred million dollars two hundred ninety million

685
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 4: in the athletic department to say we can go and

686
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 4: win these things and play with the big boys. But

687
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 4: it's it's awful hard with that full roster of wide

688
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 4: receivers back for Ohio State to think that you're going

689
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 4: to be able to get that extra stop.

690
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: So there we go.

691
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: We're both on OSU. We have other big games to

692
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: break down first. But now let's find out what's trending

693
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: in the wide world of sports. For guy who's got

694
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: everything about the game that all of our eyes were

695
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: on tonight the Knicks one forty six, one twelve win

696
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: over Utah and Jalen Brunston's thirty three points.

697
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 3: Steve de Sager, what do you got?

698
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 7: I think only the Knicks for six minutes had their

699
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 7: eyes on that game.

700
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 5: It was a twenty.

701
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 7: Three nothing lead before they blew out Utah. Officially since

702
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 7: they've had I had the specific play by play listings

703
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 7: of games quarter by quarter, which is the late nineties.

704
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 7: This is the greatest shutout start the NBA has seen.

705
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 7: And yes, one forty six point twelve was the final.

706
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean, watching this in the beginning of the night,

707
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm watching them going wow. Okay, at least I can

708
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: have the positive side of what Syracuse Notre Dame looked

709
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: like in football, Like.

710
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 5: That's what TV tonight.

711
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 7: How many points for thorough Bayley tonight could have used him? Uh, well,

712
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 7: that would take a misshot, I guess. Jalen Brunson had

713
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 7: thirty three points for New York. I can recall when

714
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 7: Sacramento roughly nineteen ninety or earlier was really bad. They

715
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 7: were down forty to four at the Lakers earlier, back

716
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 7: in the Kurt Rambus days. Rambus Uh, Lakers could have

717
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 7: used some talent on the floor tonight. They did have

718
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 7: Austin Reeves thirty six points. But at Boston, Luka Donsich

719
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 7: was out again for family reasons, could return on Sunday.

720
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 7: Lebron James of LA was out tonight and the Celtics

721
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 7: led the Lakers after the first quarter thirty nine seventeen one,

722
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 7: twenty six, one oh five over LA. The final Celtics

723
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 7: from three point range twenty four for forty five, Jalen

724
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 7: Brown thirty points. There's only one game still going. The

725
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 7: late game involves Oklahoma City, which has won thirteen in

726
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 7: a row and is winning again at home. Late first

727
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 7: half thunder ahead of Dallas fifty three forty five and

728
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 7: OKC win would put their record at twenty two and

729
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 7: one in college basketball, Gonzaga rip Kentucky ninety four fifty nine.

730
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 7: In college football, Tonight's yeah four conference title games, including

731
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,840

744
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 7: Jimmy Rodgers from Washington State. Alabama running back jam Miller

745
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 7: is questionable for sage better.

746
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 3: If it was the other Jimmy Rodgers, that would be

747
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 3: a great story. Hey Jack Rodgers with.

748
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 5: The white hair, Yes, sure.

749
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,440

Speaker 1: Football Playoff.

783
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what if that doesn't happen, though, Like

784
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: say that win does and they don't get in, I

785
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 4: got to question their actuarial tables from here on out.

786
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I mean really, I don't know that.

787
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't know the people would buy insurance.

788
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: I don't know.

789
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 4: I think that's the credibility that we put up in

790
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 4: ninety nine percent?

791
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 3: Am I really good?

792
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 5: Hands?

793
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: Am I in goodd It would send of the hands out.

794
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: It would be hands like with sand falling through them,

795
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: Like that would be the logo of the company. Maybe

796
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: you're good, but ay, maybe not. You know, it's an

797
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: inexact science. What do you want me to I mean,

798
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: I want it now? I need Ben Stiller on the

799
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: job for me. Like, so, tomorrow biggest day in college football.

800
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: It's Conference championship day. You know, we talked Indiana, Ohio

801
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 1: State a few minutes ago. Georgia, Alabama, and obviously the

802
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: Duke Virginia game has a lot of attention as well,

803
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: Virginia likely going to the playoff with a victory. Duke's

804
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: win would probably send James Madison to the playoffs. But

805
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: the game where you know it's a win, it's a winner,

806
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: go home situation is Georgia and Alabama in the SEC

807
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: Championship game. Alabama at two losses, sitting at number nine,

808
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 1: you know that's gonna be it. Georgia, it would stay

809
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 1: in with a loss, you know, two lost george team

810
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: would stay in. But the pressure is all on Alabama,

811
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: and I gotta be honest, Mike, I am not sold

812
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: on either team the last few weeks. Like Alabama is

813
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 1: not great offensively, they've kinda they've kind of hit the skids.

814
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 4: Second and a half, kind of shuffles and scuffles along

815
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 4: the way.

816
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 5: The passing game ground to a halt a bit.

817
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe with Georgia, I'm just used to the

818
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: the the the dominant Georgia from the National championship years.

819
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: But I gotta say Alabama needs this game way more

820
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: and and and I think I think Kirby Smart has

821
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: an Alabama thing. He comes up short against Alabama a lot,

822
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: and it's it's so much more so than just well,

823
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: they lost a couple of games. Now it's one of

824
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: those records where Ah, maybe it's in his head a

825
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: little bit. I see this as Alabama finding a way

826
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: the offense. They jump out early and they cause problems.

827
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: Caleb to look at you're talking about stamp victory Ohio State.

828
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: Debor gets his stamp victory with Alabama. They go to

829
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: the playoff, they beat Georgia. It's a one and a

830
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: half point spread. I'm getting one and a half. I

831
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: won't need him in a close game. I'll take Alabama

832
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: in the upset.

833
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 5: Damn. I don't want to be on the same side.

834
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 5: But I am like, just looking at what you have in.

835
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 4: Simpson in the passing game, that that's enough to make

836
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 4: it happen again. Curious what their second half struggles have been,

837
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 4: kind of getting clamped down. I think he's at like

838
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 4: one hundred yards or few or five straight as they

839
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 4: closed out things in the SEC. But you know you

840
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 4: mentioned the Kirby Smart Alabama thing. I mean, for all

841
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 4: all of the hand ringing we've done with so many

842
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 4: coaches for the last decade plus that you and I

843
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,479
Speaker 4: have been doing the show, he's kind of gotten the pass.

844
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 4: And now winning two titles will do.

845
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 3: That for you.

846
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's certainly gonna help you out. But you know, normally,

847
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: when you have such a one sided record in the

848
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 4: wrong way against a team that that usually gets raised

849
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 4: a little bit more, right, But this one curious? Do

850
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 4: they get the revenge for the early three three point loss?

851
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't think so. I think Alabama wins

852
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 5: and it creates some more chaos.

853
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 3: Now.

854
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, as much as we want to see these games tomorrow,

855
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,959
Speaker 1: one thing that we were all looking forward to may

856
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: not happen.

857
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 3: Right.

858
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: It was announced earlier this week that Lane Kiffin was

859
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: gonna appear on ESPN's College Game Day and it.

860
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 3: Was gonna be a whole big thing at all.

861
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, who's owned the news cycle everybody's most favorite

862
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: coach to hate, He now says he's not gonna be

863
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: able to attend because they signed the number one overall

864
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: recruit this year. In the early periods, a little more

865
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: brown signed, he says, Hey had to say in Baton

866
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: Rouge won't make it to Atlanta for college game Day,

867
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: but he still could appear via remote, Right, so you

868
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: can still get Lane Kiffen, but he's not gonna be

869
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: on the set at the game. Now, who knows how

870
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: much of this is pr going. Hey, dude, there's not

871
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: a lot of wins for you here. You go on set,

872
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: people are gonna scream at you and throw stuff at you.

873
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: So maybe being on via remote is the way to go.

874
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: But I gotta be honest what I want either way.

875
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 3: You know what I want? I want Lane Kiffin.

876
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: To give us a WWE heel turn appearance, like like

877
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: you get when when there's a there's an event going

878
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 1: on in a town and and the one wrestler grabs

879
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: the mic and starts insulting the town right about how

880
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: this is the worst place in the world. You think

881
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: we had liberty here? This is the worst?

882
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 3: Right? Who is it? Becky Lynch is insulting Birmingham, right.

883
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 5: Heah on classic, Yeah, she's brilliant at that.

884
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: Like, I want Lane Kivin to say a lot of

885
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: people don't like me here you know where, You're not

886
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,520

Speaker 1: miss fan, how about that? Like, that's what I want.

888
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: If Lane Kiffin doesn't, I.

889
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 4: Really wanted to see him take a couple of softball

890
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 4: questions and the crowds just start booing because they're bored.
