Speaker 1: and of course we will respond to you. Last week, Ralph,

25
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: we talked about the bomb show tweets, people supposing that

26
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve is gonna have to play itself in

27
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: the spring. All of this and that doom and glue.

28
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Oh what is the PAC twelve gonna do? Who cares?

29
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: Everybody's doing? When gloom? But now we have our eyes

30
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: set on June first, Ralph on June one, because apparently

31
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: the conference looks to open up the State of California's

32
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: opening up faster. Arizona's already open for business for everybody,

33
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: and states are really starting to ease and relax those settings.

34
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Are you excited, I'm I'm cautiously optimistic. We all just

35
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, I remember when a lot of it, when

36
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: we were really in the thick of it about a

37
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: month ago, and Florida's beaches just got overflowing with people.

38
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: You had tweeted something out like they're gonna ruin football,

39
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: and that's you know that that's the one thing that like,

40
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: I hope that we can all realize that if you

41
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: want to have these privileges, that people are still gonna

42
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: have to be responsible, um to some extent, because all

43
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna take is one or two players testing positive

44
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: of you're gonna have to put everybody that they went

45
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: into contact with in quarantine for fourteen days and you know,

46
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: who knows what happens, you know what clock gets reset

47
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: and everything like that. So UM, I love the idea

48
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: that there is that date there we'll we'll find out

49
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: if people are are being responsible and able to to

50
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: get into those situations, because that's that's really what it

51
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: comes down to, is you know, how are we going

52
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: to react? Are we just so fed up with uh

53
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: quarantine and shelter in place that we're not going to

54
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: be bothered if three or four of these athletes get

55
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: it um and we're just gonna be you know, say,

56
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: all right, well next man up, uh if you got

57
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: COVID or whatever. So um, you know, I'm I'm I

58
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 1: just want people to thrive and flourish. I don't care

59
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: if that's economically, I don't care if that's um physically, spiritually, whatever,

60
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: I just want people being in a good place, and

61
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: that's going to take a little bit more work from

62
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: the rest of us to make sure that happens. And

63
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: that's so that's all I'm thinking about right now. That

64
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: and the fact that we got a four star review

65
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: on iTunes. And there's nothing funnier than a four star

66
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: review because it means that they liked it, but they

67
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: found one thing that was very much on their nerves.

68
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you saw this, George, but

69
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: I guess we repeatedly said that Utah had six draft

70
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: picks when they had seven. Dude, I put it in

71
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: the damn uh, I put it in the description that

72
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: I said it incorrectly that they had seven draft picks.

73
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: Mind you, I named and we named every single draft bit.

74
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: We didn't miss any of them. We just miscounted because

75
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: we're not great at math. Parents. Now we're being We're

76
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: That's what people need to understand, Like we care and

77
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: we're enthusiastic, but we're b plus students. You and me.

78
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: I feel like what you you academically definitely did a

79
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: lot better than I did. Uh. As far as your

80
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: your academic career, I'm a hundred percent sure of it,

81
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: But I think maybe we've slipped a little bit in

82
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: our in our old age. We do we do a

83
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: good job. We're here to do a good job, not

84
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: a great job. We're gonna do a good job. So

85
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm okay with a four star review, especially if somebody

86
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: says that they like it and they were entertained but

87
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: are repeated ignorance is what got on their nerve. In fact,

88
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start telling people, hey, as long as

89
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: you go ahead and leave a four star review, but

90
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: give us, give us your honest opinion, uh in the process,

91
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: because those are those are my absolute favorite, because if

92
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: somebody goes in there and they just click five stars,

93
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: you never know, you know, that could be a friend

94
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: of ours, that could be somebody who you know, we

95
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: appreciate the Yeah, I absolutely love it. But if you

96
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: want to give me a paragraph or two on why

97
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 1: we why you know you're our science teacher not rounding

98
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: our eighty nine up to a ninety, I love that.

99
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: That's fun to me too. So I mean that I

100
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: didn't enjoy that review. I knew this was going to

101
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: come up because because I after after we finished this show,

102
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: I didn't even tell you. I was like, oh my lord,

103
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: I messed up. I kept saying six and I knew

104
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: it was seven. But any anyways, the thank you guys

105
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: for the for the review and the love. We will

106
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: continue to bring you great shows and entertain you. But Ralph,

107
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: I am like you, dude, I am cautiously optimistic about

108
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: football and the fall because I don't want to get

109
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: my hope so because my hopes are internally so high

110
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 1: and I don't want it to miss. I mean, with fans,

111
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: without fans, all of this, and I think that you

112
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: hit that nail on the head because whether you are

113
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: a person who believes that we should be fully back

114
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: open or back to work, or you believe we should

115
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: still be quarantining, I think we have all at this

116
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: point in time, with almost a hundred thousand people who

117
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: have passed away, are realizing, Okay, this is at least

118
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: a big deal. You know what I mean regards to

119
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: whether you stand that people potentially losing their life is

120
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: a big deal. So I think that being responsible, whatever

121
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: your version of responsible is, as long as you're not

122
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: the guy who tries to go in Costco today with

123
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: with without a mask, and he says to the guy. Uh,

124
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: and he says to the manager. He says the manager

125
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: tells him, sir, you have to leave, and he's video

126
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: recording him like he is, you know, like people do

127
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: police stops. And he says and he clearly shows he

128
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,119
Speaker 1: doesn't have a mask on and and he says, listen,

129
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm recording this. And the guy from Costco goes, Hi,

130
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: how how are you? I am the manager at Costco. Uh,

131
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: this man does not want to wear a mask, and

132
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: it is our company policy that you can't wear a mask,

133
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: and that you can't be in Costco with out a mask.

134
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: And he flips the camera around and he's like, I'm

135
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: not wearing a mask and Costco because I woke up

136
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: in a free country. And the dude like and he's like,

137
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: the guy's taking our cart. He's taking our cart with

138
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: all our stuff. And I'm blasting this out to my

139
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: three thousand followers, and he's like, I don't care, bro,

140
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: this is the company policy. And the funny part I

141
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: thought was I was like, Yes, this is a free

142
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: country and Costco is a privately owned company, so they

143
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: have the right to require people to wear it wear

144
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: masks as part of the free country you know, you

145
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: just got lost lost with that. I just thought it

146
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: was funny story. Yeah, I worry about those people, man,

147
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: I really do, because I don't. Yeah, I have the

148
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: thing that concerns me the most. I'm seeing a lot

149
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: of people out there saying, like, what is it? There's

150
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: the two things. There's people who are ignoring all the

151
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: warnings and people are calling them covidiots or whatever. And

152
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: then there's the people who are very very frightened and

153
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: telling everybody that we should be staying inside and and

154
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: and Clay Travis has dubbed them Corona Bros. And I

155
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: just hate that it's come to the point where people

156
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: are taking sides. And I got a real good friend

157
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: who has a um A hair salon in San Diego,

158
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: and you know, a bunch of people got together to

159
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: throw a huge go fund me for them because they

160
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: can't make their rent and it's like seventeen thousand a

161
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: month or whatever. And their their landlord. He has five

162
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: daughters and the oldest is twelve, and I think the

163
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: youngest is like two or three. And their landlord, um, tragically,

164
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, committed suicide. And so they're getting kicked out

165
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: of their house at the same time that they can't

166
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: pay the rent for their business. And you know, that

167
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: is just a very specific story of what's happening to

168
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: two three four five million people in America right now.

169
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: And so you know that that's very scary. UM ninety

170
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: thousand plus dead dying alone in hospital rooms where they're

171
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: not able to have any contact or any people around them,

172
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: and then being loaded up into trucks to await you know,

173
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: mass burial and and having um, you know, socially distanced

174
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: live stream funerals. That is a very real reality of

175
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: what's happening right now. And I just don't understand why

176
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: anybody needs to be taking anyone's side when we we

177
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: just have to come to the realization that we're all

178
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: we've got, you know, and we we gotta we gotta

179
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: be rooting for each other right now. And I just

180
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: don't see I don't see a lot of that. And

181
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: so my hope is everybody stays healthy, everybody stays cautious,

182
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: and we get some sports to help take our minds

183
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: off of off of what's going on right now and

184
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: gives us something to celebrate, um, gives us some uh,

185
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,359
Speaker 1: some people to root for that they can overcome adversity

186
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: on the field, and that we just you know, people

187
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: talk about it being a distraction, and I think it's

188
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: just more much more of a life enhancement. You know,

189
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: everything is better with sports, and so I'm I'm really

190
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: hoping that we get a chance to have it back

191
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: and that we don't screw it up by just being

192
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: impatient um or or or being you know, overly rebellious.

193
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: I guess because I understand the more freedom minded brethren

194
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: out there, but I don't. What I don't get is

195
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: um you know, use your vote. You can go out

196
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: and you can protest, and you can yell and scream,

197
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: and it has about the same amount of level of

198
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: effect as you know, just going and casting your your

199
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: vote in the ballot box in November quietly. And I

200
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: just I hope that you know, people exercise their right

201
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: to do that. And I don't see anybody getting sick,

202
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, when you're just going in and and dropping

203
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: off your your ballot. But if you're all getting together

204
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: at a at a beach somewhere to high five each

205
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: other and and and you know, to to what is

206
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: it own the Libs get get each other sick, to

207
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: own the libs. I just don't. I don't see that

208
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: helping us get football any sooner. Well, see, I just

209
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: like I think that people have fatigue and our you know,

210
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: craving some sense of normalcy, and sports allow that. And

211
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: one of the things I always talk about, talk talk

212
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: to my kids about, especially as it relates to sports

213
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: and all of that is delayed gratification. And that's kind

214
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: of in the work that has to be done in

215
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: the training and the lifting weights and the running, like

216
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: the same thing the college football teams have to do.

217
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: College basketball teams have to do. Everybody like you, you you

218
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: if you want success at the end, you have to

219
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: put in the work like it doesn't happen overnight. And

220
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: and with the sports thing, coming back that June one

221
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: date when colleges are supposed to your kids to be

222
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: able to potentially return back to campus, and the PAC

223
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: twelve said they're going to update the social distancing UM

224
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: and quarantine guidelines and all of this stuff before the March,

225
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: before the May thirty one date. So you have UM,

226
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: some SEC schools, some A C, C and Big ten

227
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: schools who maybe going back around June tenth, um, I'm sorry,

228
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: around June eight, So if so, and we talked about,

229
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: Ralph brought up how college coaches are all just just

230
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: obsessed with the idea of fairness. So if some and

231
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: I think that the universities are trying to make it

232
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: fair in the n C Double A, trying to make

233
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: it fair by everybody kind of opening up around the

234
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: same time, and so I think that that looks like

235
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: and well and then trying to figure out a way

236
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: for football to happen in the fall. Because the league

237
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: that shut down the first in the spring was the

238
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: IVY League, right, Ralph, I believe so, um it it

239
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: all is a blur to me at this point. Yeah, yeah,

240
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: I think it was the IVY League who canceled their

241
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: tournament at first and then said that they weren't even

242
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: going to the n C Double A tournament. And I

243
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: find that interesting because the IVY League is pretty much

244
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: the only Division one situation that doesn't rely on its sports,

245
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: any of its sports to be a money maker for

246
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: the university, so they can make objective decisions without like,

247
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: without factoring in the money the other sports and all

248
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,479
Speaker 1: of that. But the Division the Power five teams in particular,

249
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: it's hard for them to make objective choices because football

250
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: has to happen. You saw a Bold and Green cut

251
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: their baseball team already, and I think that that's the

252
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: thing is trying to find a way. All the schools

253
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: are trying to find a way to get kids on campus,

254
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: some kind of way, whether it's a hybrid schedule, because

255
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: my daughter goes to l m U and they already

256
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: said that they're gonna be half on camp. Like if

257
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: it's a Tuesday Thursday class, half two kids will they're

258
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: already reducing class sizes, but then half two kids will

259
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: be in class on Tuesday, the others will be online,

260
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: and the other half will be in class on Thursday.

261
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: The other half will be online. They're getting out a

262
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: week before Thanksgiving the way travel isn't an issue. Then

263
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: they are coming back in January, but uh, it's gonna

264
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: be five weeks online. So from January to five five

265
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: weeks from then, sometime in February, they're going to be

266
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: all online because they anticipate a second wave coming and

267
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: they didn't want to mess up the schedule. And then

268
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: they'll go back to the same thing in the in

269
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: the spring if need be so. And I would imagine

270
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: that the U sees the Oregon schools, Arizona and all

271
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: that stuff are planning on that as well. Have you?

272
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: Is that what you've heard as well? Rough? Yeah, Yeah,

273
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: I think that everybody's everybody's working towards following that that guidance, um,

274
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: you know. And I I think that it's weird to

275
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: be setting a date on anything, like we know, you know,

276
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: what what's going to be going on or or where

277
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: things are going to be at. But I think that

278
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: if things continue to trend downward, then you know, that's

279
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: that that's what we'll go with my fingers across. I

280
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: I really, I really would love nothing more than for

281
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, this virus to fade away into oblivion as

282
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: we as we you know, get to warmer weather and

283
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: and for people to be employing practices in their lives

284
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: that make that more possible. Um. Will team sports? Uh?

285
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: You know what? Will the one thing that we have

286
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: where people sort of have to gather um in order

287
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: to execute that activity and gather in close proximity with

288
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: each other and make contact with each other? You know?

289
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: Will will that reverse the good work that we've done?

290
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: I I don't know, you know, I think the main

291
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: point of this for the longest time was to make

292
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: sure that our hospitals weren't to get overwhelmed by the

293
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: tidal wave of cases. Um. They treated the entire country

294
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: the same, even though they can entire country is not

295
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: the same. And those precautions saved an innumerable amount of lives. Um.

296
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, people people want

297
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: to get back to that, they want to get back

298
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: to doing things the way that they were, and I'm

299
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: in complete understanding of that. And I think the Pac

300
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: twelve um, you know, as as Larry Scott said, they

301
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 1: have access to all of the best doctors you know

302
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: in the world. And I you know, I don't know.

303
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm hoping. That's all I can do is hope. UM

304
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: that that reminds me of Uh. We just had an

305
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: end of the last dance. It started out with the

306
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: Traveling Cocaine Circus and ended with Steve Kerr, which gave

307
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: us a little bit of a Pack twelve connection. I mean,

308
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: he's a University of Arizona wildcat. He's gone on to

309
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: do you know a lot of things in his career

310
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: with with the Bulls and the San Antonio Spurs and

311
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, general manager of the of the Phoenix Suns

312
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: response potable for trading Sean Marion for Shock when the

313
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: Suns were in first place, and uh and and ruining

314
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: that uh the seven seconds or last. But he's rebounded

315
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: as a three time champion of the coach of the

316
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors. That what do you think of

317
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: the whole Steve Kerr story arc in the Last Dance dude? Okay,

318
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: First of all, he got a significant amount of shine,

319
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: Like he got more more shine than Tony Kukos. And

320
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: I think that's because there was always a little bit

321
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: of shade towards Tony even though he was instrumental in

322
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: helping win a bunch of championships. Oh do you think

323
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: if Michael had punched Tony kuk coach in the face,

324
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: he'd have said, all right, twenty years from now, I'm

325
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna make this documentary. I'll make it up to you

326
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: because he because Steve Kerr did get clocked. Yeah, but

327
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: but he's But but you saw the respect that Mike

328
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: had for him, Because it's just about standing up for yourself.

329
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: If you stand up for yourself, other people a will

330
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: respect you and be other people will stand up for

331
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: you too. Like you can't just cower down and expect

332
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: somebody else to just do all the work for you.

333
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: You have to be willing to be bold and you

334
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and kind of face the consequences

335
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: of standing up. But then you know, especially with man,

336
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: things are usually all right after that. That is very

337
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: That is very true. Like your conflict has to come

338
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: to a head, and then if there's no other option,

339
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: if you both have to keep showing up to work

340
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: and you be in that space, that's the ultimate Like

341
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: the ultimate humbling is believing that you can kick somebody's ass,

342
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: finding yourself in that situation where you try to execute

343
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: on it and realizing that, like, fighting makes you really tired,

344
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: and it's really hard and should only be done by

345
00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: people who fight professionally well, because truth be told, most

346
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: bullies don't really want to fight. They want to pretend

347
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: like they want to fight. They want to They just

348
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: want to keep the bad guy image without having to

349
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: back it up. Occasionally, there are some people that do

350
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: like the fisticuffs too, but Matt Massacrests Massacrests like to

351
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: mix it like people who don't mind getting their ass kicked,

352
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: who just want the conflict. They want the attention. Um,

353
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: those people you gotta watch out for, Like they just

354
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: want to They just want to take out their bad

355
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: day on somebody else. And they don't care if their

356
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: day gets worse. Their day was already bad, their life

357
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: already sucks. You know. Bullies want to feel like they

358
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: have power. And if you bully takes a risk. Every

359
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: single time they go out and try to bully somebody,

360
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: they try to use their power to hold somebody down.

361
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: You know, you you risk someone like Steve Kerr fighting back.

362
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: Michael was a little bit of a bully and get

363
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: and guess what though, so Michael ended up embarrassing himself

364
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: where the coach said something to him and think and

365
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: think about this, Like if he were thinking about punching

366
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr again, he he had to at least think

367
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: in his mind like Steve might punch me back, or

368
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: he might punch me first, you know, like so, and

369
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: he didn't want to get get even though he thought

370
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: he could beat Steve Kerr up, he didn't want to

371
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: get punched either, you know what I mean. My favorite

372
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: thing though, is it when it is when it occurred

373
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: to Michael that like, oh, I just punched the smallest

374
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: guy on the team, like like that that realization was

375
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: more embarrassing to him than getting thrown out of practice,

376
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: because I'm sure him and Phil got into it plenty.

377
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: But when he when he realized, like I just, I

378
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: just punched the smallest person on the whole team in

379
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: the face. I'm big tough guy. I'm big tough guy.

380
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: Ye see. But at least he had the realization of that.

381
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: But but Steve Kerr's dad that story, so I knew

382
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: his dad had gotten gotten killed um at American Union

383
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: University because he was the president. But like, I just

384
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: I didn't know how everything happened because I was so young,

385
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like I remember there being

386
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: an issue in Beirut all of that, but I didn't

387
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,239
Speaker 1: know a ton about it. And it actually made me

388
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: go research it some and I was just like how

389
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: hard that must have been. And then like turning that

390
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: into a positive some kind of way for your life

391
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: where he threw himself into basketball, Like that's just absolutely crazy.

392
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: And it also shed light on why Steve Kerr speaks

393
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: up on a lot of social issues, even though people

394
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: don't always agree with him. He speaks up because that's

395
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: what he was taught to do. That's what his dad

396
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: was actually out there doing, which led to his death.

397
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: To to happier news though, Um, being that the pack

398
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: Twealth season may go on as expected. Basket football is

399
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: especially uh, we're gonna do our win totals, because Ralph

400
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: was completely off with his r wind totals last year,

401
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: particularly about l A Bruins. Come on, now, what you

402
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: said they were gonna win one game? And I laughed

403
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: at you. It just it's it's so funny, like how

404
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: much you were biting your nails before you got to

405
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: spike the football, Like let's just remember. Let's just remember

406
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: that you were you were sweating bullets until halfway through

407
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: the season and then and then you were like dancing

408
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: on my grave about it. And it's like, okay, well

409
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: and yeah, I don't know. One of those wins probably

410
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't have happened in pullman, Um. But I the overarching

411
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: point was I did not think that last year was

412
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,239
Speaker 1: going to be a good year for them. I do

413
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: think they'll be better this year. Oh well, well, guess

414
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: what that makes me nervous about what I said out

415
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: you see, because anything that because truthfully, um, last last year,

416
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: Ralph knew nothing about the back twelve North nothing. Uh.

417
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 1: He was terrible at the at the backlve North, and

418
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: I was marginally terrible with the Pack twelve South. Um.

419
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: But this season we will have to keep accurate records

420
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: for our predictions this year, because I think the people

421
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: want to want to know. UM. We will we will

422
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: start with UM instead of just doing North South. We

423
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: can pick our predictions and all of that stuff. But

424
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: Ralph actually put me onto a good suggestion which I

425
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: never did but I do now, which is just going

426
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: to alphabetical order. And so something you never how that

427
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: you never heard of going alphabetical before. I understand. I

428
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: never thought about when I do up at the PAC

429
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: twelve and I'm writing down teams and all that stuff.

430
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: I just think about the teams and write them down

431
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: in some particular order. And one day you were like, yeah,

432
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: I just go in alphabetical order. I was like, damn.

433
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: It was like an epiphanis experience of pure religiosity. Man,

434
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: it was awesome. So you know all those big words,

435
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: but you won't use the alphabet. I don't understand. Um.

436
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: So last year you had, uh, the Arizona Wildcats finish

437
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 1: four and eight. You had actually, first thing, you had

438
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: six teams make bowl games. You had Arizona State, Utah. Well,

439
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: Arizona State beat Florida State, Utah lost to Texas, got

440
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: drowned by Texas. UH, Oregon beat Wisconsin. UH, I would

441
00:25:54,440 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: just dismantled USC. Uh. Watch this eight lost the Air

442
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: Force and cow dominated Illinois. UM. So yet six pack

443
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: twelve teams that were that made bowl games. And we

444
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: will start with the Arizona with the Arizona Wildcats who

445
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: last year finished four and eight. Their wins were against

446
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: Northern Arizona, Texas Tech, U C l A, and at Colorado,

447
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: and then they lost every other game after that, including

448
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: their opener to Hawaii. So what do you have them

449
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: doing in twenty twenty, Ralph? Their schedules awful. They just

450
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: have I mean they get to play at home uh

451
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: their first three weeks, which I think you know, that'll

452
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: be tough for opponents to come and play in the heat. UH.

453
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: Stanford included. I think that that game right there is

454
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: probably the most important of the season for them because

455
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: if they start too and oh and they can find

456
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: a way to beat Stanford and they go to Texas

457
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: Tech and all of a sudden, they have a shot

458
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: to go to go undefeated. Heading into their by, everybody's

459
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,239
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about University of Arizona and then it's

460
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: not gonna matter because they're just gonna come back and

461
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: go oh and eight after their by anyway, So, um,

462
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: it's a rough skin. They're not a good team. Um

463
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: Joemari Joiner, their best wide receiver just had foot surgery.

464
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: Grant Gannell is a good quarterback. This is the right

465
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: system for him, but can they stop anybody defensively? And

466
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: even some of the games that you figure might be

467
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: gimmes in any other year, Hawaii is a get back

468
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: game for them because they lost last year. And now

469
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 1: Todd Graham is the head coach of Hawaii and he's

470
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 1: boring two against University of Arizona all time, and he's

471
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: coached against Kevin Sumlin, I believe on several different occasions

472
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: at several different schools because when he was at Tulsa,

473
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: Kevin Someone was at Houston, and then Todd Graham went

474
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: to Arizona State and took on Kevin Someone at Texas

475
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: A and M. And now Todd Graham's at Hawaii and

476
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: Kevin Someone is at Arizona, so they know each other

477
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: really really well. That'll be interesting to see if Graham

478
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: can get his team prepared in time. I don't think

479
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: that they will. So I think in this University of

480
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: Arizona team, I think they start to and oh and

481
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: I think they win one game the rest of the way.

482
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: So I have them going three and nine. Ralph, we

483
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: are lock step on this, buddy, lockstep. I have them

484
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: at three and nine. I have them winning against Hawaii because,

485
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: like us said that, the lack of spring ball and

486
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: um and new coach not getting able to put in

487
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: because because he'll probably try to run at three, three

488
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: five in Hawaii, right or four too or four to five. Yeah,

489
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows with what Todd Graham. It's a

490
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: real hit and miss. You know, he's a guy who

491
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: likes the audible right before the play gets called, which

492
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: can get his dbs. Burnie likes to leave people as

493
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: long as the defensive lines getting pressure. If they can

494
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: put something together on the defensive line out there in Hawaii,

495
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: then then his corners won't be you know that it won't.

496
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: It won't be a terrible year for them. But if

497
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: they can't get any pressure it's gonna be bad, bad, Yeah,

498
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you, though. I think they beat Hawaii,

499
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: beat Portland's State, and then they lose to Stanford, lose

500
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: at Texas Tech, lose that u c l A, beat Colorado,

501
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: lose to usc Washington, Oregon, Utah, Oregon State, and Arizona State. Yep,

502
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: you and I. You and I have the exact same

503
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: for the way that it's going to roll out. I do.

504
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: I think that they they have a shot against Stanford

505
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: just because of the offense that they run and how

506
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: early in the year it is, and the fact that

507
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: Stanford is on the road. So I mean, and if

508
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: if they get that game, then that could give him

509
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: a crazy amount of momentum. Because you can't look at

510
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: that u c l A game and say it's impossible.

511
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: You can't look at that Colorado game and say that's

512
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: not winnable. What if this uf AS team starts six

513
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: and oh, they're like, there's a there's a legitimate reality

514
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: in which they could start six and oh, and I

515
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: would still say they'd finished six and six. Is that

516
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: back half of the schedule is pretty pretty brutal. At Utah,

517
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: at Oregon State, they get to buy in between but

518
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: sandwiched in between Oregon and Arizona state like that that

519
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: if they win a game after October nine, that will

520
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: be very surprised. Oh, bro, that is a hundred percent

521
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: like you could not have been anymore right about that.

522
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: I totally agree. I mean, you're talking about Arizona, who

523
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: like their defense. Last year, their rushing defense finished last

524
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: in the pack twelve, last in the pack twelve, and

525
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: they're passing defense finished second to last in the back twelve,

526
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: giving up almost three hundred yards a game. So this

527
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: was not a good defense at all. No, they gave up.

528
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: They gave up more than double what Utah did, and

529
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: points allowed more than that's that's absurd. Yeah, but they

530
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: did finish last in total defense though, and scoring defense

531
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: at thirty five and a half points a game. Dude. Yeah,

532
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: So with Stanford, I do believe that that Stanford is

533
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: going to I don't believe Stanford's back. Still don't believe

534
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: intellectual brutalities back. However, they're playing in Stanford, and this

535
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: goes to coaching. I think that David Shaw is a

536
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: better coach. I think he wins the game. Um. Yeah,

537
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: so Arizona is not going in bowling again, and because

538
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: of the pandemic and a lack of money, you probably

539
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: will see Kevin Sumlin get another year. UM. Now the

540
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: Arizona State Amston's last season. Last season, the Arizona State

541
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: Amston's finished uh seven and five, four and five in

542
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve South. They beat Kent State, They beat

543
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: the Sacramento State in just a just a terribly just

544
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: a horrible looking game. Michigan State was a snoozer two,

545
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: but they did win and that was kind of Jayden

546
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: daniels coming coming out party, who is a phenomenal quarterback.

547
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: Lost to Colorado beat cow That was the game that

548
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: Garbers went out beat. Washington State lost to you taught

549
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: u c L A Arizona. I'm sorry you taught u

550
00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: c L a usc are. Oregon State then turned around

551
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: and beat Oregon Arizona yep, and then beat Florida State

552
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: in the bowl game. So they finished seven and five, well,

553
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: technically they finished eight and five because they won their

554
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: bowl game, But seven and five in the regular season.

555
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: What do you have them doing in UM? For me,

556
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: it's a coin toss between eight and four and seven

557
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: and five. It really all comes down to how they

558
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: handle b y U at home on September nine, because

559
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: uh Herm. Edwards made a decision back when they got

560
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: bullied by San Diego State in his first year that

561
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: they weren't going to be out physical by anybody, right,

562
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: Like they put a full back back into the offense.

563
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: They went way more traditional as far as that goes,

564
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: And um, b y U kind of plays bullyball sometimes.

565
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: And they're gonna have a bunch of four year olds

566
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: out there. I leave, Arizona State just had one of

567
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: their two freshman offensive lineman tern nineteen today, So they're

568
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: playing to the seventeen year old and eighteen year old

569
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: all year last year at left tackling right guard, and um,

570
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, it'll be nice for them to be eighteen

571
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: and nineteen, but they're gonna be going against people who

572
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: you know who who who graduated high school back when

573
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: they were in fifth grade or whatever. So so you know,

574
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: b Yu's got some maturity and and that's gonna be

575
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a real test for what is still

576
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: a very young Arizona State team. And even if they

577
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: survived that game, they hit the road to go to

578
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: USC the next week, and after what Keaton Slovis did

579
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: to them last year. Um that that's really tricky for me.

580
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: So I could see them starting three and oh, don't

581
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: sleep on that game at U n l v UM

582
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: because that's your boy, you know, he wants some revenge

583
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 1: and a s U. The last time that they from

584
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: what I remember, the last time they played un LB,

585
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: they got upset in Sun Devil Stadium with Rudy Carpenter

586
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: at quarterback and that was like two thousand and eight.

587
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: That was one of the worst games I've ever watched

588
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: in my life. So um yuck. But a s SO

589
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: a s U is um they have a chance to

590
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: go three and oh and even if they do, I

591
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: think they drop to U s C. The dangerous part

592
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: of their schedule is having to travel to Boulder and

593
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: then to Pullman back to back and then come home

594
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: and play Cal and then go on the road to Eugene.

595
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: So that four week stretch of being on the road

596
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: at Colorado, Washington State, and Oregon with only Cal being

597
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: the the home game, that's gonna be their toughest stretch.

598
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: I do think they finish out the season with wins

599
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: over Utah in Arizona. So the B y U game

600
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: is a coin flip for me. I'm I feel like

601
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: eight and four, if I'm being optimistic, is a possibility. Um,

602
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: but so is seven and five. I'm gonna say they

603
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: beat B y you just for the sake of of

604
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: making the eight and four work though, okay, and I

605
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: am I have I was teetering between eight and four

606
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: and nine and three right and then, And that ninth

607
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: game for me comes down to that game in Pullman,

608
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 1: because obviously they should beat Northern Arizona. They should beat

609
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: U and l V even though it's on the road.

610
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: That B y U game is gonna be tough, Like

611
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: that's where I think that Jayden Daniels can separate himself

612
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: as a quarterback and win those games. Because I think

613
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: that with Arizona State, I do believe that this team

614
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: is headed in the right direction. But I think that

615
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: things got over hyped and over sold to where like

616
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: with this last recruiting class, which was a really good

617
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: recruiting clas asked for them, but I think it kind

618
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 1: of put hopes upon that that all of a sudden

619
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: that this was gonna be some magical class that was

620
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: gonna come in as freshman and play. But really they're

621
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: really two years away from being like huge impact players,

622
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: which Jayden Daniels will be gone by then, so so

623
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: so they gotta keep stacking the talent as well. Um, yeah,

624
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm the the schedule. When I look at the schedule,

625
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: I and people who know me will probably think that

626
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: this is just typical. But when I look at the schedule,

627
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for Arizona State that they

628
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: have to try to avoid is there's just gonna be

629
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of people on this schedule that are trying

630
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: to get a piece of a s U because they

631
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: were local recruits who they felt like a SU missed. Right,

632
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: So hamilcar Rached led the pack twelve in sacks last year,

633
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: Right didn't get an a s U offer. Played just

634
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: a few miles away from Sun Devil Stadium, uh in

635
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: high school, so he's gonna be piste off. Then you

636
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: got Washington State and there's a chance that Gunner Cruz

637
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: takes over at quarterback. All that kid wanted to do

638
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: was go to a s U. And you know they

639
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: after Billy Napier left, they kind of moved on from

640
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: targeting him as a quarterback. If he's the starter for

641
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: Washington State. You know, what's he gonna want to do?

642
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: Brett Johnson on the defensive line out there at at

643
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: at Cal you know, a SU was super late to

644
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: the party. Could have had him, but Shane knew of

645
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: the defensive line coach took a job at Michigan. You know,

646
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: you got Oregon, Tyler Shuck and Johnny Johnson. They didn't

647
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: offer Johnny Johnson, and they waited until after Tyler Shuck

648
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: had already committed to North Carolina and de committed before

649
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: he was about to commit to Oregon too to pay

650
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: him any mind. You got a running back out at

651
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: Utah named t J. Green who uh you know, um

652
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: who didn't didn't get the a s U offer despite

653
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: being a four star at the same school as hamilcar Rashed.

654
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: And then you've got Solomon enis there, their number one

655
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver who when he chose Utah a s U,

656
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: they gave him a very big we didn't want you anyway,

657
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: uh vibe. They said we'd rather have Jordan Porter. So

658
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of recruiting behind the scenes

659
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: stuff there. Um, but they're they're just a a s

660
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: U as a target on its back anyway. Um with

661
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: with Jade Daniels, you know he's going to get a

662
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: lot of hype going into a sophomore season. Um. This

663
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: has a potential to be a dangerous schedule for a

664
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: s U. But I do think that they made a

665
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: really good move in in getting Zach Hill to run

666
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: this offense, and I think they will be more mature,

667
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: and they're bringing in great recruits at the receiver, UM

668
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: and running back, and so as long as they can

669
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: score points, that's all it comes down to. This team

670
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: can average thirty a game, they'll probably get to your

671
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: nine wins, George. But right now I like them more

672
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: at eating for Yeah, I can I can see that

673
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: because I don't see a way that they beat a

674
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: healthy you USC. In terms of healthy, I mean, Keaton

675
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: Slope is being healthy in at us See. I don't

676
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: think that Arizona State's offense is potent enough because USC's

677
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: offense is going to put up point like that's going

678
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: to happen. So even if their defense is not up

679
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: to snuff, it's gonna be hard to score. I mean,

680
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: like they're they're they're gonna be a thirty five point

681
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: game team. I would imagine over the course of the year. UM.

682
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Oregon State is gonna be a toughie, like, but it's

683
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: down in Arizona, so I think that will be a

684
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: little bit easier. You see, l a game is gonna

685
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: be tough. Uh, but then uh, this is one of

686
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: those teams I think that if they mess around and

687
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: win the right game, they can build a lot of

688
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: confidence and win some of those other games. But if

689
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 1: the Washington State or the Colorado game doesn't go right,

690
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: which I think Washington State is more likely because having

691
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: to go to you know, Boulder than backup to Pullman,

692
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: because Pullman is a tough place to play period. And

693
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: maybe if it's if there's no fans and attendance, that

694
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: may help them out some. But yeah, this could be

695
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: one of those schedules that could go badly. But if

696
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: you win the right games, then you could be looking

697
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: at a nine and three season. Like So I got

698
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: them at Eating For right now. I have their losses

699
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: against usc CAL, Washington State in Oregon. That's what I

700
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: got right now. That's what I got him at Eating

701
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:29,959
Speaker 1: for UM. Next team up. This team made a bowl

702
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: game last year. I did not think they were gonna

703
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: make a ball game after their quarterback Chase Garbers went

704
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: down against Arizona State because their defense had been playing well,

705
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: but their offense was absolutely putrid. I mean just just terrible.

706
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean, they're scoring offense. They only average twenty points

707
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: a game, twenty, I mean, and part of that is

708
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: just due to the fact when Chase Garbers got back,

709
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: they scored twenty four points against Stanford and twenty eight

710
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: points against U c l A. Aside from that, they

711
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been every averaging twenty points per game, and

712
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: they still were able to finish seven and five, Like,

713
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: how crazy is that? Seven and five and you're only

714
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: averaging twenty points a game. That's absolutely unbelievable, playing playing

715
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,280
Speaker 1: with fire a little bit though, right, I mean, yeah,

716
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: that's so That's what That's what I worry about with them,

717
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: is that, you know, that offense that they were running

718
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: last year, I mean they did all that without even

719
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: checking down. Yeah, very often, like Chris Chris Brown had

720
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 1: twenty catches, Marcel Dancy had twenty catches. But I mean

721
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 1: it wasn't it should have been much more a part

722
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: of their offense, you know, I don't know, I just

723
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: they they were really playing with firelight. They need somebody

724
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: to emerge as the go to guy on that offense

725
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: as far as as far as a receiving threat. Oh yeah,

726
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that that's a that's a must. Because you

727
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: didn't believe in the beginning of the season that Chase

728
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: Garbers had taken such a big leap. But I knew

729
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: that that he had when they um when they beat

730
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: Old Miss, like, I thought that that was that that

731
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 1: was the tell tale because if in their first games

732
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 1: they beat you see Davis, they scored twenty seven points,

733
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,240
Speaker 1: even though it didn't start out all that great, scored

734
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: twenty against Washington, twenty three against North Texas, and then

735
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: at Old Miss scored twenty eight points. I mean, that's

736
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: a tough deal to go down to an SEC school

737
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: you don't have a great offense and get get out

738
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: of there with a win, even though it was controversial

739
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: at the end, but still and then it was just

740
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: down the tubes after that. So I thought that cal actually,

741
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: with the way that their defense was and Chase Garber's

742
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: was playing, that this was a team who could have. UM.

743
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody in the North was gonna beat

744
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: Oregon but last year, but I thought that they could

745
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: have that they would have been the team to finish

746
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: second in the North had Garber's been completely healthy. I

747
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: think they have a strong candidate for breakout player of

748
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: the year in Nico Remigio. UM. You know, he jumped

749
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: from eleven catches to thirty eight catches freshman to sophomore year.

750
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: He played the best of the best competition in in

751
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: high school UM while he was at Modern Day. He

752
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: was a four star receiver coming out of UM. Coming

753
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: out of high school, and everybody in the Pac twelve

754
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: wanted him. Um, I don't know he's but he's only

755
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: He's kind of diminutive, right, like he's building on his frame,

756
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: but he's still five eleven. He they need to find

757
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 1: a way to to get him the ball as often

758
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: as possible, um, you know, some bubble screens or whatever,

759
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 1: and and just let him work and if he stays healthy,

760
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: maybe he can be that guy for for them. But

761
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: that's just there's a ton of pressure on him. I

762
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: still love the defense, even though they lost their secondary

763
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: and their coach and everything like that. I think that

764
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: they they're getting to the point where they have that

765
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 1: next man up mentality that University of Washington has displayed

766
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 1: over the last few years. Um, but maybe I'm wrong.

767
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: I really really feel like they have enough players there

768
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 1: to to make an impact. Yeah, what do you have

769
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: their record as mm hmmm. I don't like them as

770
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: much as our friends soul Cat, who sent us that

771
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: email saying that the only reason that COVID happened is

772
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: because Calah I was gonna win ten or eleven games.

773
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: I do like them. I do like them to win.

774
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: We'll say, you know, we'll go with nine. We can

775
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,959
Speaker 1: do nine. I can do nine and feel trouble. They're

776
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna beat TCU, They're gonna beat you, and either gonna

777
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 1: beat cal Poly. That game against Utah is the really

778
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: really important one because you know, if if they have

779
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity to go into um their home game against

780
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: Oregon at six and oh, that's gonna need to That's

781
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: gonna need to be college game Day at Berkeley, right Like,

782
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 1: that's that that you should circle October seventeenth on on

783
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: your calendar for sure. Um, that's what I'm I'm rooting for,

784
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: is six and oh heading into that game. UM. I

785
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: do think that they all struggle a little bit towards

786
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: the end of the season, but I think I think

787
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: they can win nine games. Yeah, I got them at three.

788
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: I think they um. I got them beating U and

789
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: l v TCU cal polly. I think Utah especially, which

790
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: would be such a more tough game. But Utah lost

791
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 1: so much on defense, and we saw what happened and

792
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: with uh Washington, what happened with with them when they

793
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: lost all that on defense, and Utah's got to replace

794
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback running back. I mean they got to replace

795
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: a lot of dog on pieces, including well without even

796
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: talking about the defense. So um, I think that cow

797
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: catches Utah while they're vulnerable. And then I have them

798
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: losing um at Washington State, uh because mind you, they've

799
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: had Washington State's number because um because they understand how

800
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: to stop that um, how to stop the air raid.

801
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: But there's a new man in town in Washington State.

802
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: So I think that adjusting to the new coach, that

803
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: they'll that they will um skate by that Washington State

804
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: will skate by in that game. Then I got them

805
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: beating U s C at USC. I know that sounds

806
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: sounds crazy, but it happened. Uh just because their defense

807
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: is so strategic and it confuses quarterbacks. It's Harford for

808
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: Upper Tour offenses to score a bunch of points on them.

809
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: So I got us. I'm sorry, I got cal in

810
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: that game. I think they lose to Oregon and then

811
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: beat Oregon State and and then they ultimately lose at

812
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: Arizona State. So those are the three games that I

813
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:36,720
Speaker 1: have them losing. Okay, I have them losing to USC

814
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 1: and Oregon, and I think either they'll they'll lose either

815
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,360
Speaker 1: that Washington or that a s U game. But I

816
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: think the they'll they'll they'll start off five and oh

817
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,399
Speaker 1: and drop to five and two and then have to regroup. Yeah,

818
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: it's it's possible. I just think that the Pack twelve

819
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: always gets so funky and that you get teams winning

820
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: games that you don't think that they should win. So

821
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 1: that's how I came home to Washington State game because

822
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: I knew I needed to have them at about three wins.

823
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: And mind you, I literally did mind exactly out with everything,

824
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:18,720
Speaker 1: so every every loss matches up with every win. So um, yeah,

825
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: so I did that. Uh, next team up, you got Colorado.

826
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 1: So Colorado appeared to be headed for another like seven

827
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: game losing streak like they had last year, but they

828
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: were able to pull up well, actually it would have

829
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: been yeah, seven game losing streak like they had the

830
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: year before. But they were able to pull out games

831
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: against Stanford and against Washington, both which were inexplicable. They

832
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: both happened in Boulder, and the Monstars stole both teams talent.

833
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: So Colorado one and now their coach left to go

834
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 1: to Michigan State and took everything with them in a

835
00:49:55,880 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: boatload of money. So Colorado was five and seven and

836
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 1: UM three and six in the South. They lost to

837
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, they beat Colorado State, Nebraska lost the Air Force,

838
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: beat Arizona State, lost to Arizona, Oregon, Washington State, usc

839
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: U c l A. Then, like I said, beat Stanford

840
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: Washington and then lost to Utah. What do you have

841
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: met in Ralph This is a two win team. I'm

842
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for the best, but you know they they lost.

843
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: They lost Lavisca, they lost Montez, they lost their coach, um,

844
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: they lost their best defensive player. Their recruiting class was

845
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: actually pretty impressive. Uh and I see a potential bright

846
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: future for them moving forward. But if they if they

847
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: don't get that game against Colorado States right out of

848
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: the gate, um in Fort Collins. They're in deep trouble. Uh.

849
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't see them winning more than

850
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: one game in the Pack twelve oddsmakers absolutely hate them.

851
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that they were three

852
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 1: one to win the Pack twelveth South or three hundred um,

853
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: so that might be worth putting ten bucks on them

854
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: or whatever. But no, that's ten bucks lost. Bro. Bro,

855
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: there's not a snowballs unless all the other teams catch covid. Bro,

856
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: there's a there is a zero percent chance that they

857
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 1: win the Pack twelve South. Zero. I mean there is

858
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 1: no possible way. I mean, like, can can you see

859
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: them beating Arizona? I mean, well, actually they have to

860
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: beat some of the teams on from the north on

861
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: their schedule too. From the North, they got Oregon, Washington State, Stanford,

862
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: and Washington on the schedule. How many of those games,

863
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 1: of those four games do you think they can win?

864
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: I don't. You you said win and I don't. It's

865
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: not computing, dude. I have this team going to and ten. Yeah.

866
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: So I feel the same way about them that I

867
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: felt about U c l A last year, which is

868
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,359
Speaker 1: it's not going to be their year. But things will

869
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: get better. Just stay the course, take your lumps. Uh

870
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: that Texas A and M game at Texas A and M. Woof,

871
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 1: that's brutal. Having to play Fresido State that's never fun.

872
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: And then to cap it all off, they got what

873
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,479
Speaker 1: if they start orn' owing four? Will they even get

874
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 1: to two wins? Oh? No, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope nope. Dude,

875
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: mel Tucker made a genius move, dude. I mean when

876
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: you look at this schedule, because a lot of people

877
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: were like, oh he left, No, he got out while

878
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: they're getting good dude, because because he knew what he

879
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: was losing, and He's like, hold up, I was gonna

880
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 1: stay stick this thing out all of this, but they

881
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: made me an offer I couldn't refuse. And I know

882
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: I'm staring at a two or three win team, Like,

883
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: come on, man, I got them winning against Colorado, uh State,

884
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: if they beat Colorado State and Fresno State as well,

885
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: but then Texas and him Oregon. They may beat Arizona,

886
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 1: they may be able to get Arizona, but if they

887
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: don't get Arizona or Snake bit u c l A,

888
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: it's a rap from there, bro, Like they're like, I

889
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: have two questions for you. Then, Okay, would what would

890
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: their win total be if mal Tucker was still a

891
00:53:55,719 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: coach in your mind? And will this just some and

892
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: how people in Colorado feel about mal Tucker? Well, this

893
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: give them a reason to say, like, oh, we would

894
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: have been good, but he bailed on us. Dude, car

895
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: Car the rail basically has put himself in a position

896
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:19,720
Speaker 1: like like Byron Scott puts himself in in basketball coaches

897
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: in the NBA. Puts himself in a position where he

898
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: can't really win like he you know, he got the

899
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: head coaching job. It's a big deal. You can't turn

900
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: it down. But this is a no win situation in

901
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: because you have a tough schedule, like yeah, and you

902
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: lost so much replacing the quarterback, your top receiver, you

903
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: just ain't the move. So I wanted to put them

904
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: at three and nine because I do think they might

905
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: beat Arizona. Well, if that game weren't in Arizona, I

906
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: would have picked them, but it is so I got

907
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: them at two and ten because last year they lost

908
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: so much from that team. This is a team that

909
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 1: was last year. They were only scored twenty three points

910
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,959
Speaker 1: a game. Tenth in the Pack twelve. There they ran

911
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: the ball pretty well, hundred and fifty yards in the

912
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: game middle of the pack twelve. They're rushing defense eighth

913
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: in the Pack twelve. Past defense tenth in the Pack twelve,

914
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: almost three hundred yards of game as well. Total defense

915
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 1: middle middle bottom eighth in the Pack twelve, four hundred

916
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: forty one yards a game. So yeah, their team was

917
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: super thin on defense last year, particularly on the defensive line.

918
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: They got some that, but the problem is also they

919
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: thought they added depth. That kid that transferred I think

920
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: from Alabama, he's gone. He got kicked off the team.

921
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, so this team is going nowhere fast. I

922
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: got him at two and ten. UM. The Oregon Duck's

923
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: next team up Your Role Bowl champions Pack twelve champions

924
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: last year they finished. When did they finish last year? Uh?

925
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: They finished eleven and two UM one the North Pack

926
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: twelve championship. They lost to Auburn. UH seven. They beat Nevada, Montana, Stanford, Cal, Colorado, Washington,

927
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: Washington State, USC, Arizona lost. Arizona State beat Oregon State

928
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 1: and then Utah and then Wisconsin in the role in

929
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 1: the rose Ball, So what do you have this team

930
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 1: doing in oh man, I hate I absolutely hate their

931
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: first game. Hate it. They're gonna be breaking in a

932
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 1: new quarterback against North Dakota State. That is that that's rough,

933
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 1: and I know that I've North Dakota State's quarterback is

934
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 1: highly radio like he may be a first round draft

935
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 1: pick in Yeah, so I would be I would be

936
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,919
Speaker 1: shocked if they came out in that game and did

937
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: what they did against like Nevada last year, right where

938
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: it was just an embarrassing UM seventy point when I

939
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: would be floored. I think that North Dakota State is

940
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: taking this entire time to prepare for UM Oregon. They've

941
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: got the fact that they won seven out of the

942
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: last eight titles UM at the fc FCS level in

943
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: their back pocket, and so they you know, I think

944
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: they realize that they can they can just do what

945
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: Bison do and and and work their way through the

946
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: schedule once it gets started. I think this game is

947
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: really important to them and recruiting in their program and

948
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 1: national notoriety. So I think that they'll bring it. I

949
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: do think that Oregon escapes that game, even though that

950
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: that is a rough that's a rough Week one schedule.

951
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: I do not like their matchup with with Ohio State.

952
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: I do not like them to win that game. I

953
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: don't know if they'll lose the rest of the way

954
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: this This could be an eleven one season. It really could,

955
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: because they get USC in Arizona State at home, the

956
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: two trouble teams from the Pack twelveth South, They get

957
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: Washington at home, they get Stanford at home. UM. The

958
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: biggest burden in conference play is probably having to play

959
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:34,240
Speaker 1: at Pullman assuming that team is good, and at Cal,

960
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: assuming that defense is set. But they get Cal after

961
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: a by So how fortunate are they that they get

962
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: two weeks to prepare. Uh? I like them to go

963
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: eleven and one. UM again Ohio State. I think it's

964
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: just operating at a level that's not and maybe they

965
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: see Ohio State again down the road if things bounce

966
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: their way. I don't think the pactol is going to

967
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 1: be strong enough to you know, especially if they have

968
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: that loss on their on their their record to an

969
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: Ohio State team that goes on to you know, they're

970
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: gonna need Ohio State to win out if that does happen. UM.

971
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's where I have I have I

972
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: have eleven and one. I don't think that they'll run

973
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: into too many problems. Were really going to see if

974
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: you know what what Mario crystal Ball is able to do.

975
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: You know now that there's a new offensive coordinator in place,

976
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: you know what, what is his role going to be?

977
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: Um with this team? Is he going to be more

978
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: of a figurehead recruiter guy? Is he gonna dabble as

979
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna jump in and you know, work the offense

980
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: here and there. I've told you over and over and

981
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: over again. I'm a huge believer in Tyler Schuck. I

982
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: think that he's going to come out and have a

983
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: good enough season that people are gonna wonder could this

984
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: guy leave after one year? Um that that that's how

985
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: good I think he could be in the offense that

986
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: that that Joe Moore had is gonna run up there.

987
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: So eleven and one, that's that's my call for the Ducks.

988
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, dude, I think that if you look at

989
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: the games that like over the past few years, right,

990
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: You've had North Dakota State play Central Michigan Minnesota. You've

991
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:22,959
Speaker 1: had Appalachian State and oh seven beat Michigan. You had

992
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: James Madison beat a ranked Virginia Tech team in two

993
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: thousand and ten. Um, you had Eastern Washington beat Oregon State,

994
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: who was ranked, and you've had North Dakota State beat Iowa.

995
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: So I agree with you that this is tough scheduling.

996
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: Like I'm a person who believes in in good college schedules.

997
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: I also if you're a good team, I always think

998
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: it's important to be careful with scheduling teams like North

999
01:00:54,880 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: Dakota State only because like you gained nothing if you win,

1000
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: like in terms of national credit credibility, like you have

1001
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: everything to lose. But in this year in particular, I

1002
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: think that this is a great schedule for their first

1003
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: game because I don't think it's gonna be gonna be easy.

1004
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 1: And when you're breaking in a new quarterback and you

1005
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: got Ohio State the next week, you want to give

1006
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: him some looks. You want to give him, get him

1007
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 1: tested the way he can calm down and play bigger

1008
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: in the next game. And I think the best thing

1009
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: that Oregon has going for them is the fact that

1010
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: they had four guys who could have gone to the

1011
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: NFL Draft to two corners um Uh Diamadoor, Leonora Thomas

1012
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: Graham and then the two defensive lineman who could have

1013
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: gone in the draft too, and they didn't George Jordan

1014
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: Scott and followed and they didn't go. So when you replace,

1015
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,919
Speaker 1: you know, a defense that last year in the Pack

1016
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: twelve finished second in the Pack twelve and past defense

1017
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: in total defense, and UTA had one of the like

1018
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 1: statistically until they got to the Pact twelve championship game

1019
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 1: and got stomped out. They had one of the best

1020
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: defensive statistically Impact twelve history. Like, they were a top

1021
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 1: ten defense in Pac twelve history until the Pact twelve

1022
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 1: championship game. So like this Oregon defense, which was really

1023
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: good last year, I think they only allowed five they

1024
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: were second in the country, only allowed five rushing touchdowns

1025
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: the entire season. So like, this team is going to

1026
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: be really really good on defense. And I think that

1027
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: that's gonna lend itself to what you said, Ralph being true.

1028
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:44,120
Speaker 1: I think that the Ohio State game, being that it is,

1029
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: if it is played in Eugene, I think that and

1030
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: if there is a crowd there at all, that is

1031
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: going to be a big deal. And that's a game

1032
01:02:55,280 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: that I think that Oregon can win. Not sure if

1033
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: they are not sure they will win, but I think

1034
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: the defense is good enough to keep them in it.

1035
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: And if Shug can play play well and you're playing

1036
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: at home, I think that that's a game that they

1037
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 1: definitely can't win because they played in some big games,

1038
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: played against Auburn last year and then Ohio State. This

1039
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 1: is a game. So I got the Ducks. I know him,

1040
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 1: that guy. So I'm going to assume they go that

1041
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: they beat Ohio State. Hopefully, then this is a team

1042
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,959
Speaker 1: that goes twelve twelve and o. If so, they won't

1043
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: have a let up like Arizona State last year, and

1044
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: then they'll make the College Football Playoff. Then we will

1045
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:41,919
Speaker 1: see from there. Um last year, would you say what

1046
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: what would you say if they win eleven and one

1047
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 1: but their only loss was to North Dakota State. Could

1048
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: you swallow that the North Dakota State team thirty seven

1049
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: games in a row? Dude? Yes, yes, yes, I honestly

1050
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 1: I would other losing an opener to North Dakota State

1051
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: and then win eleven in a row then because you

1052
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,919
Speaker 1: can still get in the College Football Playoff for that

1053
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: because you have built in excuses. Oh, the coronavirus. The

1054
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: things are thrown off and then you come back, you

1055
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: beat Ohio State because you know Ohio State is going

1056
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: to be really good. And then if they go eleven

1057
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: eleven and one too, you're you're ahead of them in

1058
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: the polls all that stuff. You'll be fine. So yeah,

1059
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: I would rather that than a dumb loss to like

1060
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Arizona or something. What happens if Oregon wins eleven and

1061
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: row twelve and row of Pack twelve championship they lose

1062
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: to North Dakota State. North Dakota State doesn't lose all year,

1063
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: Oregon finds himself in the College Football Playoff, they win,

1064
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: they end up winning the national Championship. They go fourteen

1065
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: one on the season. North Dakota State is fourteen and

1066
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: oh and they win their eighth title in nine years

1067
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: at the FCS level. Who is the actual national North

1068
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: Dakota is the champion? Bro North Dakota They would be right, Yes,

1069
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 1: they would be the official champions. It's not like a

1070
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 1: UCF thing. Like you, you, as an Oregon fan, are saying,

1071
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: like no, that that's yes, they could they could claim

1072
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: they could like claim to the championship. But but like

1073
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: that's the That's the thing is that North Dakota State

1074
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: can win one game against Oregon, but they can't turn

1075
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: around and then beat Ohio State, Hawaii, Colorado, Washington. You

1076
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Absolutely not. No, the idea that

1077
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: the idea that those very very good players for North

1078
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Dakota State are gonna have to worry about trying to

1079
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: get past Paul is just absurd. Yeah, it's absurd, Like

1080
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: it's a task for anyone in Ohio State full of

1081
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: live star recruits on the defensive line, that they're gonna

1082
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: have to do it. Yeah. I would have loved to

1083
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: see Pine next year versus like, uh, Chase from from

1084
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: last year, Like that's one of the duels that you

1085
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: want to see. But uh, then down to the Beaves,

1086
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: the Beavers last year who were one game away from

1087
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: making a bowl game and what what feels like forever

1088
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: and they let that that Washington State game just slide by. Dude,

1089
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 1: they gave up the game and the end of the

1090
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: game like they had they had a bold birth sewed

1091
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: up and then they gave it away impullment. It was

1092
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: just so bad, dude. That was just such a terrible

1093
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: loss and they didn't make a bowl game. Uh. Jonathan

1094
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: Smith did a great job of that. Do you think

1095
01:06:55,160 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: they make a bowl game in Ah? I mean with

1096
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: a new quarterback, a little bit less depth at running back,

1097
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: the receivers. I feel like I'm mature. The offensive line

1098
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: is okay. Defensive line we got to find out if

1099
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: their fool's gold or not in the defensive boy bag

1100
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: Hamil Car Yeah, yeah, And I think I think he's

1101
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: gonna get stats regardless, just because he's He's just every

1102
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: single time a list of people to watch out for

1103
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: it comes out and he's not on it, it pisces

1104
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: him off even more. Um, it'll be really discouraging for me.

1105
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: If they get wrecked at still Water in week one.

1106
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: I would like to see them make that a competitive game.

1107
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: Uh takes six wins to get a bowl. No, man,

1108
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 1: I think there are five and seven teen. See. I

1109
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: was teetering on the edge with them because I think

1110
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose to Oklahoma State because Oklahoma State has

1111
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: their their phenomenal running back back. And I'm not a

1112
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: huge Mike Gundy fan, and I know that he's getting

1113
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: towards that that hot seat too. That's why he wants

1114
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 1: players back so fast we can practice so he can

1115
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: keep his you know, four million dollar a year job.

1116
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: But I got them going six and six. I think

1117
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: they beat uh C issue and then turn around and

1118
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:39,439
Speaker 1: beat Portland's State, which are both obvious which are both

1119
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: obvious layups, but um yeah, so yeah, so they lose

1120
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma State, beat Colorado State, beat Portland's State, and

1121
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 1: then they um they beat Washington State. I got him

1122
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,600
Speaker 1: beating stamp for Arizona in u C. L A. And

1123
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:09,799
Speaker 1: I also have them losing to Oklahoma State, Utah, Arizona State, Washington, Cal, Utah,

1124
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 1: and Oregon. Wait that's seven game yeah so oh man,

1125
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm I totally blew that. Um oh oh because I've

1126
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: Utah or twice that's why. Yeah, So I have them

1127
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:28,439
Speaker 1: losing to Oklahoma State, Utah, Arizona State, Washington, callin Oregon.

1128
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 1: So I got this team going going six and six.

1129
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: I think Jonathan Smith gets his first bowl game and

1130
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: that's going to be a big deal. And the team

1131
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: that basically I have them coming at that expense as

1132
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: who won't be going to a bowl game for a

1133
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: second year in a row is the Stanford Cardinal. Uh.

1134
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 1: Last year Stanford, they finished four and eight, four and eight,

1135
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean like David Shaw used to be able to

1136
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: pincil him in for ten wins at LEAs least nine wins.

1137
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 1: But intellectual brutality is broken. I've been saying it. How

1138
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 1: does Stanford finish eleventh in the pack twelve in rushing?

1139
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean because they technically they finished last because Washington

1140
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 1: State barely runs the football. Why Stanford averaged one hundred

1141
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: and five yards per game? The next team was at

1142
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:30,440
Speaker 1: one and that was the Arizona State. That's that's not Stanford.

1143
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: That's back to back years. They haven't been able to

1144
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:37,600
Speaker 1: run the football. Bryce Love senior year, not a buddy.

1145
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 1: This year, not a And I'm supposed to believe that

1146
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: Stanford is gonna be back to that bullyball. How about no,

1147
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: David Shaw, It's time to adapt to the times. Let

1148
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: your quarterbacks sling it around because you need a new

1149
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 1: gimmick because the gimmick that you had is broken. I

1150
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: got Stanford going five and seven, their wins against William

1151
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: and Mary, Arizona, Washington State, Colorado, and b y U.

1152
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:05,560
Speaker 1: They may go four and eight because of a B

1153
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: y U game, But the I got them losing to

1154
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 1: usc U, c l A, Notre Dame Oregon, Oregon State,

1155
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: Washington and Cal what you got, Ralph. I have them

1156
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,719
Speaker 1: going five and seven. I thought about six and six

1157
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: for a moment um, but I worry about depth on

1158
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:29,799
Speaker 1: this team. To be honest, everybody transferred, yeah, but Connor

1159
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 1: Weddington is decent. I know you're not a big Cameron

1160
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: Scarlett fan, but he when everybody knew that he was

1161
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:38,600
Speaker 1: going to have to get the ball last year, he

1162
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 1: still did a little bit of work. And I think

1163
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 1: him coming in as a junior, if Davis Mills can

1164
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,200
Speaker 1: stay healthy and hold his own, that will give Cameron

1165
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 1: Scarlett a little bit more room to run. They've got

1166
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:54,440
Speaker 1: some experience on the offensive line, and the defensive backfield

1167
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: is not terrible. That's just a depth issue all over

1168
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,600
Speaker 1: the field. If they run into the same situation that

1169
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:04,679
Speaker 1: they ran into last year where they're losing players left

1170
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:08,640
Speaker 1: and right, um, it's gonna be an issue. But I

1171
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:14,480
Speaker 1: do I will say that just they're starting offense from

1172
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 1: just they're starting eleven, that they're going to run out

1173
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 1: on the field. I guarantee you, guarantee you that they

1174
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: will average at least a touchdown more a game than

1175
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 1: they than they did last year. I can see them

1176
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:28,960
Speaker 1: going from one point seven points a game to nine

1177
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: points a game. I'm calling it now. But they're giving

1178
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,759
Speaker 1: They're gonna give up thirty. No way. I mean, and Ralph,

1179
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: I had to be a bearer of bad, bad news

1180
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 1: because we are going to get more hate mail for

1181
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 1: for for being wrong. So I'm going to correct you now.

1182
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 1: Cameron Scarlett's gone. He was a senior. He was a senior.

1183
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:52,320
Speaker 1: Why the hell is he lifted? H See, I'm on

1184
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,559
Speaker 1: Sports Reference. I'm you're gonna send you a screenshot. He's

1185
01:12:54,600 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 1: listed as a sophomore and he had not only gone, yeah,

1186
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: not only was he gone, he was at Stanford for

1187
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: like forty six years, so I should have known better.

1188
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. They actually gave him a red shirt year,

1189
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 1: which they rarely give anybody. So I don't know why

1190
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: they have the sophomore again for his senior year. Time

1191
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 1: for another fourth star review? Uh? Now, he this is

1192
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: This is what I am guaranteeing though. I guarantee you

1193
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: that as long as they have at least nine of

1194
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: the eleven that they start the year with, that that lineup,

1195
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: that offense is going to average at least twenty nine

1196
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:40,160
Speaker 1: points a game. If they lose Davis Mills, I can't

1197
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 1: guarantee anything. If Foster, uh, you know, their big offensive lineman,

1198
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: if he goes down, um you know, then it's probably over.

1199
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 1: If walk a little goes down, it's probably over. Um.

1200
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 1: But as it stands, the guys that they're rolling out

1201
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 1: there now, um you know, is Osirius st Brown's still there.

1202
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 1: I think that he'll make an impact. I think I

1203
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be Okay. These dudes have lost the juice,

1204
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: they have lost the momentum, they have lost. Nobody's afraid

1205
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: of Stanford anymore. Nobody oregons playing bullyball. Washington's offensive line

1206
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 1: and defense are usually pretty stout. Cow's not afraid of him. Like,

1207
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: this is just not a team that's scaring anybody at

1208
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 1: this point in time. So yeah, I got him at

1209
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: five five wins. They could finish four and eight again. Uh. Now,

1210
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: the team that Ralph uh predicted would win one game

1211
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: last last year and he was completely wrong about And

1212
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: it's funny because I just keep dunking on this just

1213
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 1: all the time. Um. They finished four and eight last year,

1214
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:52,760
Speaker 1: four and five in the South, which is the same

1215
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 1: record as the Arizona Ambstin's by the way, um U

1216
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 1: c l A four and eight lost, the Cincinnati lost

1217
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 1: to San Diego State, got just boat raced by Oklahoma.

1218
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: Then they beat Washington State in that sixty sixty three game, lost,

1219
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:13,719
Speaker 1: the Arizona lost the Oregon State and Ralph was feeling

1220
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 1: real good about that one win at this point in

1221
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:22,440
Speaker 1: the time. Um then they beat Stanford and he was like, Okay,

1222
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 1: that's an anomaly, no problem. They beat Arizona State. He's like,

1223
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell is going on in

1224
01:15:28,439 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: life right now. They beat the break and then they

1225
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 1: beat Colorado, and he's confused again because Colorado had just

1226
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: beat Stanford, I think the previous weekend. And then they

1227
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: just they only scored three points against Utah, get demolished

1228
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:53,679
Speaker 1: by USC and then lose to cow. So what say

1229
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:56,679
Speaker 1: you about the Bruins in Ralph, because they have had

1230
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: a couple of transfers. Though, yeah, you you did forget

1231
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: one of their losses. They lost fifteen million dollars in

1232
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 1: the operating budget. Oh off the top rope. But you're

1233
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: right now, then they might They walloped Arizona State, and

1234
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm Caleb Kelly, what a player. Um, I think that

1235
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:22,880
Speaker 1: was it my fault that they lost to Arizona when

1236
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: I ran into there, or do they beat Arizona? I

1237
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: can't remember, ran into the kicker? Yeah, you lost that

1238
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 1: what that loss was on you? That Arizona game, that

1239
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 1: was on you. You ran into the kicker, that was

1240
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 1: your fault. I ran into the kicker. Then I ran

1241
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: right out of the stadium because that was that was horrifying.

1242
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: And to be fair, he ran into me on the

1243
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: sideline and then he made a kick, but he they

1244
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:53,600
Speaker 1: called the time out and then he came out and

1245
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: missed it. I think was was how it went. I was.

1246
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 1: I was horrified. You were a saboteur. Um, I like

1247
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:06,679
Speaker 1: I I don't know, I've you are? You always neglect

1248
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 1: that I that that I said they'll win one game

1249
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: last year, but they'll be much better in and remember

1250
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 1: you're saying it. I don't remember. I said it repeatedly.

1251
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: I said, year three of Chip is when they're finally

1252
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 1: going to get this back on track. Now it is

1253
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 1: a very oddly constructed team. Um, you got a quarterback

1254
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 1: whose dad maybe still hates the coach. You lost darn

1255
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: A Holmes. Seven of your twentysomething recruits that you brought

1256
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: in the class are all linebackers, so you gotta figure

1257
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: out where to put all of them. Caleb Kelly has

1258
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 1: gone the tight end who it was conveniently pointed out

1259
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 1: to me on Twitter that I was trying to tell

1260
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 1: you that you were wrong about whether or not U

1261
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,720
Speaker 1: c l as tight end was any good. And my

1262
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 1: credentials are I watch football, and your credentials are you

1263
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: played tight end in the NFL for a very long time.

1264
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 1: And when it was explained to me in that way,

1265
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:12,960
Speaker 1: I realized that maybe I should shut up. Um. But

1266
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 1: I think that the players that are still around will

1267
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,440
Speaker 1: understand a little bit more what's being asked to them,

1268
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:21,600
Speaker 1: and I think that this is the year that that

1269
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 1: they find themselves back in a bowl game. I like

1270
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:31,599
Speaker 1: them to go, We'll say, we'll say six and six.

1271
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:38,480
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I got him doing significantly better than that. UM.

1272
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't love Jerry as an hour oh still at

1273
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator. But they did bring in seven seven linebackers.

1274
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: I guess, so they're playing doing something. You know, Chip

1275
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,960
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly invented in offense, so maybe he's invented in

1276
01:18:54,080 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 1: defense To the two seven too. So I got him

1277
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: be in New Mexico State, winning at Hawaii, Uh, Sandy,

1278
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: getting revenge against San Diego State. UM got him beating Stanford, Colorado,

1279
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: catching Utah because Utahs in a down year, Arizona and

1280
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:24,600
Speaker 1: Washington State. And then I have them. So I have

1281
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 1: them going eight with their four losses against Arizona State,

1282
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 1: Oregon State, USC, and cal I'm going eight and eight

1283
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 1: and four, Ralph, that is ambitious. Would be a hell

1284
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: of a year. Yeah, because I think the fact that

1285
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: they get New Mexico State, Hawaii and San Diego State

1286
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 1: and they can't lose too. They can't lose those three

1287
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 1: three games. If if they lose those three games, Chip

1288
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 1: has mailed it in and sorry it's it's then they're

1289
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: gonna win four games on the season. Again, are you?

1290
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: I don't the San Diego State things scares me? What

1291
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 1: if San Diego State doesn't have football? So oh, that's

1292
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:11,560
Speaker 1: crazy because that could potentially happen because the c s

1293
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 1: US in California, even though they don't play football, they've

1294
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 1: already said no sports in the fall, and the U

1295
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:22,719
Speaker 1: sees a dude, they got to do the hybrid schedule.

1296
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 1: They have to because they get a home game against

1297
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 1: U c l A two, So that's money. Yeah, No, dude,

1298
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 1: nobody makes good decisions when money is at the When

1299
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 1: money is at the crest of it, usually um the

1300
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 1: USC Trojans. A lot of people have picked them to

1301
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:45,759
Speaker 1: win the Pack twelve South. Last year did not happen.

1302
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 1: A lot of people picking them to win the Pack

1303
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,799
Speaker 1: twelve South this year. We'll see if it happens. Still,

1304
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:56,600
Speaker 1: don't trust Clay Hilton. You know they've gotten some momentum recruiting.

1305
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,000
Speaker 1: But I got this team going nine in three next year,

1306
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 1: your Ralph. I got them, uh beating Alabama. No, I'm

1307
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 1: joking that that that was a joke. I got them losing.

1308
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 1: So I got them losing to Alabama, call in Oregon

1309
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 1: and beating New Mexico, Stanford, A, s U Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Washington,

1310
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 1: U c l A, and shocking Notre Dame. I have

1311
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: them at eight and four with the tiebreaker over Arizona

1312
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: State with the head to head win, I do not

1313
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:32,680
Speaker 1: think they beat Notre Dame or Alabama or Oregon. I

1314
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: think they lose to the teams that you figure like, yeah,

1315
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose to those teams. UM, And then I

1316
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 1: think that it's possible they struggle against Washington, So I'm

1317
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give I'm gonna give Washington that game. Um.

1318
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: But I think it's eight and four pack twelve South champions.

1319
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 1: This is the true last dance, um. The last dance

1320
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 1: for our generation is the last time that they The

1321
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,679
Speaker 1: U c l A is going to be competitive for

1322
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:04,879
Speaker 1: a while because I don't think just having Dante Williams

1323
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: as a recruiter is going to bring them back from

1324
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 1: the hole that they've dug with with recruits in general. UM.

1325
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: And I think that I think that making their way

1326
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: back is going to be tough because you know that

1327
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:23,480
Speaker 1: Graham Harrold's getting a head coaching job after this season. Um,

1328
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 1: And if USC decides to promote from within and give

1329
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 1: him that job, I don't I don't necessarily see that

1330
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 1: going the way that they think it will because the

1331
01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:36,760
Speaker 1: air aid you and I have talked about this is

1332
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:41,679
Speaker 1: sort of a gimmicky offense meant to neutralize powerhouses, and

1333
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 1: if USC becomes one of those that has to run

1334
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:49,599
Speaker 1: something like that to to take down teams that are

1335
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:54,640
Speaker 1: closer to what they should have been that that's just

1336
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 1: not that that's going to be more that that'd be

1337
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:00,639
Speaker 1: like Mike Leach with the recruits that he was hoping

1338
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: that he could have gotten instead of Washington. But I

1339
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think that that means y're year in, year

1340
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 1: out competition for the college football playoffs. So um, but

1341
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean that that's as depressing as I can be

1342
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 1: about a team that I just said is going to

1343
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: win the PacTel South right. I mean, it's one of

1344
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 1: those things where it's confusing. It's confusing when you look

1345
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: at how potent USC's offense had been. I mean, they

1346
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: average thirty three points a game last year. More if

1347
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,599
Speaker 1: you take it, you know, when Keaton Slovi's was out

1348
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:44,640
Speaker 1: like they did, you know, their offensive production was significantly higher. There.

1349
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 1: Passing offense was really good, second in the Pac twelve

1350
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:53,680
Speaker 1: only to Washington State, and it wasn't even close. They

1351
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 1: were second, Like they were seventy yards a game better

1352
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,719
Speaker 1: than the number three team, which was which was Oregon.

1353
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 1: Like they're throwing the ball around a long way and

1354
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: a lot, but they're rushing offense was not very good.

1355
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, a d six yards a game.

1356
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:17,599
Speaker 1: That's not USC. They're playing a gimmicky offense, which is,

1357
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 1: like I said, meant to neutralize teams with better talent.

1358
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 1: But when you have better talent trying to run it,

1359
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: it actually hurts you because you're not used to being

1360
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: able to road grade people. Just run them over with

1361
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:34,719
Speaker 1: your better players. And I think that that's a mistake

1362
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna cost USC some games. So yeah, but Graham

1363
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 1: Harrold will be out the door pretty quickly or in

1364
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 1: the door in a new seat. Uh in USC as

1365
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: the head man got them going. Can we before that?

1366
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 1: Can we talk about our guy, Jack Sears? Where did

1367
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: where do you end up going? Boise State? Oh? That's

1368
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: not bad? Wait? Why wait? Whoa why would he go there?

1369
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: They had a true freshman and balled out and a

1370
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 1: true sophomore that replaced him and also balled out. He's

1371
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: not a good decision maker. I'm so confused. Like Hank

1372
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 1: bach Meyer, who out last year beat Florida State beat

1373
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: Florida State, had nine touchdowns six interceptions before getting hurt

1374
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 1: as a true freshman. And Chase Cord, who I covered

1375
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 1: in high school down here in Arizona, one of the

1376
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 1: first players down here to throw for three thousand run

1377
01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 1: for one thousand in a in a season, and then

1378
01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 1: he tores a c L and remade his whole game

1379
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: as a pocket passer. As a senior, he comes in

1380
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 1: throws nine touchdowns three interceptions in in relief, and he's

1381
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: going to be a true junior. So is Jack's here's

1382
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 1: gonna beat both these dudes out. He would have been

1383
01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 1: better off transferring to Colorado, I think, But what if boys,

1384
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,879
Speaker 1: you stay doing taking him when they've got two perfectly

1385
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks already locked horns in a battle to start

1386
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 1: next year. Maybe they think that one of them is

1387
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 1: going to transfer, but not that whoever loses the job

1388
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,599
Speaker 1: is going to transfer. So you need a good backup quarterback.

1389
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 1: And since series is like I'm one play away, you know,

1390
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 1: but I'm too plays await you see? I mean at USC,

1391
01:26:29,600 --> 01:26:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. They both have more. Jackson's only experience,

1392
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:36,439
Speaker 1: I think is starting against Arizona State as a as

1393
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:39,800
Speaker 1: a freshman. So what I just don't know. I don't

1394
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 1: know what some of these quarterbacks are up to. Do

1395
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:43,559
Speaker 1: We we don't have a home for j. T. Daniels yet,

1396
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: do we? No? Nope? But to A to A made

1397
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:53,600
Speaker 1: his decision or not to. Uh no, no, technical technically

1398
01:26:53,880 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 1: he is to as well. Yeah, Tawi tau Leah. Yeah,

1399
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 1: so yeah, he made his decision quick. So I mean

1400
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 1: J T. Daniels. JD. Daniels is definitely somebody who needs

1401
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 1: to needs to figure out what he's doing. What if

1402
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 1: he goes to Boise State too? Uh oh? The um

1403
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:28,960
Speaker 1: so uh there. There was an article that that came

1404
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 1: out at the end of April that said J. T.

1405
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 1: Daniels is in the transfer portal, but signs are pointing

1406
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 1: that he may back be back with uc l B,

1407
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: back with USC in when the n C Double A

1408
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 1: Border governors recommended against the one term, one time transfer waiver,

1409
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,719
Speaker 1: which would allow players to move without sitting out of season.

1410
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 1: So he may not be moving anywhere unless he can graduate. Well,

1411
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw George out there just for fun. Well,

1412
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 1: they they picked up the kid that came from Wake Forest. Okay, yeah,

1413
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 1: it's and then too, it's tough to get a job

1414
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 1: while coronavirus is going on because you can't visit any schools. Jack,

1415
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 1: you gotta do it virtually. So yeah, so, but he

1416
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 1: may be back at USC one play away again, you know,

1417
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:32,160
Speaker 1: for some poetic justice. Maybe Um Utah, the utah Utes,

1418
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:37,439
Speaker 1: who were you know, world beaters. Um throwing a little

1419
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 1: bit of shade right now because I did already say

1420
01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 1: earlier that their defense was statistically one of the top

1421
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 1: ten in the Pack twelve of all time until they

1422
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 1: got you know, run over by the Oregon Ducks. You know.

1423
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 1: But Um, but their rushing offense last year was best

1424
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 1: in the Pack twelve. They deserve to have the Pack

1425
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: twelve Player of the year. They're rushing defense seventy yards

1426
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:09,559
Speaker 1: a game. I mean, like they were just absolutely dominating people.

1427
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 1: Like it was getting scary. It was getting scary how

1428
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:15,640
Speaker 1: badly they were beating people. So they beat b y

1429
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:19,800
Speaker 1: U Northern Illinois, and then it just got and then

1430
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:23,880
Speaker 1: they beat Idaho State, lost to USC, and then it

1431
01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:27,600
Speaker 1: just they just turned on some They opened up a

1432
01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:32,719
Speaker 1: can of whoop ass on everybody except for UM, except

1433
01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 1: for Washington, who they still ultimately did beat Washington State

1434
01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:42,040
Speaker 1: only thirteen points, Oregon State only seven points, Arizona State

1435
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:46,519
Speaker 1: only three. Cal got blanked the Washington scored twenty eight points.

1436
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:50,519
Speaker 1: U c l A only scored three, Arizona only scored seven,

1437
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:55,479
Speaker 1: Colorado only scored fifteen like they were just stomping holes

1438
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:59,360
Speaker 1: in people until they got thirty seven put up on them.

1439
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:04,720
Speaker 1: But they seven draft seven. Utah had seven draft picks,

1440
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:08,840
Speaker 1: Ralph seven just so everybody know, seven draft picks for

1441
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 1: Utah and they were all off of defense except for

1442
01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:18,920
Speaker 1: I think Zack Zack Moss. Right, yeah, so yeah, this

1443
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:22,280
Speaker 1: team is not gonna be the same team that went

1444
01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:24,280
Speaker 1: eleven and two and eight and one in the Pack

1445
01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 1: twelfth South last year. So I got him going seven

1446
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 1: and five this year. I got him beating B y

1447
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:37,640
Speaker 1: U Middle Tennessee State, your boys from Utah, Arizona, Oregon State, Colorado,

1448
01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 1: and Washington State, which means they lose to cal USC

1449
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 1: Washington U, C L A, and A s U. Where

1450
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 1: do you have him at, Ralph, I don't know. I

1451
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:54,000
Speaker 1: find myself in a weird position of you know, there's

1452
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:56,960
Speaker 1: a couple of couple of young guys that I really

1453
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 1: hope get a chance to shine for Utah this year,

1454
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:05,200
Speaker 1: and at the same time, you know it it would

1455
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:08,679
Speaker 1: be encouraging to the rest of the Pack twelve South

1456
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:16,000
Speaker 1: then not have Utah just be reloading all of the time, uh,

1457
01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:21,320
Speaker 1: the way that they have been. Um, so I I

1458
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:24,960
Speaker 1: do want Cameron Rising and and t J. Green or

1459
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 1: to the guys on their offense, and I'm really rooting

1460
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:29,920
Speaker 1: for to to come out and do something this year.

1461
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:34,600
Speaker 1: Starting off with the Holy War is always tough. But

1462
01:31:34,640 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 1: I do think that they've got by us number. They'll

1463
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:41,200
Speaker 1: beat b y U, they'll beat Montana State. UM. At

1464
01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:46,920
Speaker 1: that at Wyoming game, UM, you know, I hope they

1465
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:50,400
Speaker 1: lose by seventy. That's not what's gonna happen, UM. But

1466
01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:52,400
Speaker 1: that you know, those are old Mountain West rivals and

1467
01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 1: I grew up in Wyoming and I'm a Wyoming fan,

1468
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:57,479
Speaker 1: and there's some bad blood there. Remember Joe Glenn lost

1469
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 1: to Utah fifty to nothing and he walked doubt and

1470
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:04,360
Speaker 1: flipped off the whole student section or whatever. UM, So

1471
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, probably probably more the same, probably Utah winning

1472
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: that game if they start off three and oh and

1473
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:11,400
Speaker 1: they have to go at two cal and they're feeling

1474
01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:13,920
Speaker 1: themselves and they want to run the ball every time

1475
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:15,759
Speaker 1: and try to keep the ball out of Chase Garber's

1476
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:18,200
Speaker 1: hands so that they can work their way to to

1477
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:20,599
Speaker 1: four and oh. You know that that would be pretty

1478
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,960
Speaker 1: huge for them. There's a possibility of them going four. Oh,

1479
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,479
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I do think that they're gonna

1480
01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:29,439
Speaker 1: get absolutely walloped by the two air Raid teams back

1481
01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:33,200
Speaker 1: to back and loose to Cal. So they're gonna start

1482
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:35,040
Speaker 1: off probably three and oh and then dropped to three

1483
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 1: and three immediately. I don't see them recovering after that.

1484
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:44,960
Speaker 1: I think that, Um, I see them winning two games

1485
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:48,760
Speaker 1: after that and finishing five and seven, and they will

1486
01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:51,479
Speaker 1: not go to a bowl. And so this is you know,

1487
01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 1: hopefully hopefully Utah fans forgive me, but I'm trying to

1488
01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 1: be logical about the path that they have. Um, the

1489
01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:00,639
Speaker 1: packed style is going to be really bad again this

1490
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:04,160
Speaker 1: year and uh, and Utah not getting to a bowl

1491
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:06,160
Speaker 1: at all is not going to help the image of

1492
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:09,000
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve, especially considering I have the two teams

1493
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:10,760
Speaker 1: a top the Pack twelve going eight and four and

1494
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 1: the only other bowl team being U C. L A

1495
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 1: at six and six. But I do have Utah at

1496
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 1: five and seven in fourth place in the PAC twel South. Yeah,

1497
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:24,840
Speaker 1: this is ugly, dude, This is absolutely ugly because if

1498
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:28,479
Speaker 1: they lose the Holy War against b y U, then

1499
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 1: they're six and six. Bro. Like, it's just like they

1500
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 1: embarrassed themselves at the end of last year with the

1501
01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 1: Oregon game and then the Bowl game. You would have

1502
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:40,800
Speaker 1: thought that they would have showed up for I mean,

1503
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:45,320
Speaker 1: like ty willing Ty Whittingham such a good coach that

1504
01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 1: I just couldn't believe, did you say, ty, Oh lord,

1505
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 1: Kyle Whittingham is such a good coach that I hate

1506
01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:00,320
Speaker 1: the fact that, like I couldn't believe his team didn't

1507
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:05,519
Speaker 1: show up back to back games like like the you

1508
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:07,360
Speaker 1: you can count the Oregon game however you want to

1509
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:11,679
Speaker 1: count it. But then to have so long to prepare

1510
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 1: for a Texas team like Texas was like hovering around

1511
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:21,200
Speaker 1: five hundred. They just they finished fourth or fifth in

1512
01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:24,760
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. I'm not glad that that happened. But

1513
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 1: at the same time, I did want to just stress

1514
01:34:27,160 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 1: to Utah fans how ridiculous their Heisman campaign was for

1515
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 1: their quarterback. And it was at that point where I

1516
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:36,400
Speaker 1: felt like I got I was getting a lot less

1517
01:34:36,439 --> 01:34:42,040
Speaker 1: people in my mentions, dude, criticizing me for my criticisms. Dude.

1518
01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:45,400
Speaker 1: It was almost like Utah fans couldn't see that that

1519
01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:49,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley was not a good quarterback. He was just

1520
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 1: he was just a guy who was efficient because the

1521
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 1: defense was so good and Zack Moss was running the

1522
01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 1: ball all over the place and he could scramble and

1523
01:34:58,800 --> 01:35:02,280
Speaker 1: make some passes. But like I said it in the

1524
01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, and they proved true. I said,

1525
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:07,759
Speaker 1: whenever he gets in a situation where he's they can't

1526
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:10,240
Speaker 1: run the ball and he's got to make plays with

1527
01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:13,360
Speaker 1: his arm to win, they're gonna get demolished. In the

1528
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 1: last two games of the season. That's what happened against

1529
01:35:16,920 --> 01:35:22,760
Speaker 1: USC That's what happened. I mean, like eventually, like I

1530
01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:25,960
Speaker 1: thought that Utah people really thought that they could compete

1531
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,280
Speaker 1: in the College Football Playoff, but they don't have the

1532
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:31,120
Speaker 1: even though they had a lot of NFL draft picks

1533
01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:36,000
Speaker 1: on defense, they just didn't have the total package of horses.

1534
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 1: And you have to have better horses if you want

1535
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:42,599
Speaker 1: to get in that race. And I'm sorry, I hate

1536
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 1: to be the bear and bad news, but that's what

1537
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:52,200
Speaker 1: it is. Um next team up is it's gonna be

1538
01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 1: very important to a lot of people that this team

1539
01:35:55,560 --> 01:36:01,760
Speaker 1: is better because Washington fans really want to believe that

1540
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:05,960
Speaker 1: last year was an outlier. They want to believe that

1541
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:10,719
Speaker 1: their seven and five season seven and five regular season

1542
01:36:11,600 --> 01:36:21,360
Speaker 1: was an outlier and I just don't know about that. Um,

1543
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:26,320
Speaker 1: I just don't know. Well. And they did beat Boise

1544
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 1: State up pretty bad in their bowl game, but which

1545
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:36,480
Speaker 1: made the Pack twelve have seven bowl eligible teams not six. Um,

1546
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:40,080
Speaker 1: they did beat him up. They did beat Eastern Washington,

1547
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:45,599
Speaker 1: lost the cow beat Hawaii, b y u, USC lost

1548
01:36:45,640 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 1: to Stanford, beat Arizona, lost to Oregon, and Utah beat

1549
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:56,280
Speaker 1: Oregon State, lost to Colorado, and beat Washington State and

1550
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:59,719
Speaker 1: then Boise State in the bowl game. So people wanted

1551
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 1: to be lead like like it's like those baita rank

1552
01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:07,800
Speaker 1: people when they're like, you watched this still the the

1553
01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:10,719
Speaker 1: third best team in the Pack twelve, and remember you

1554
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:14,679
Speaker 1: even I was fighting with you all season about having

1555
01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:17,839
Speaker 1: washingtonton ranks. So Hi, I'm like, you have to believe

1556
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:23,320
Speaker 1: their record. They've lost five games, So like, do you

1557
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:26,679
Speaker 1: think last year was an anomaly because last because their

1558
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:30,040
Speaker 1: defense was so young, or do you believe that it's

1559
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:32,280
Speaker 1: kind of who they are right now with new head

1560
01:37:32,320 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: coach Jimmy Like, I think it's kind I think that

1561
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 1: it'll filter into this here a little bit too. UM,

1562
01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:43,680
Speaker 1: I think you'll see flashes of excellent talent, and you'll

1563
01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:47,719
Speaker 1: see the team maturing. I think the biggest issue last

1564
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:50,920
Speaker 1: year was consistency, right they You look at what they

1565
01:37:50,960 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 1: did to Arizona, and you look at what they did

1566
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:57,080
Speaker 1: to Hawaii, and then they turn around and they lose

1567
01:37:57,200 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 1: to to cal and look completely in apt. They lose

1568
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 1: to Colorado and look completely in apt. So, um, you

1569
01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:08,519
Speaker 1: know they're a hun passing hundred fifty seven and rushing.

1570
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 1: That's not going to get it done. They just have

1571
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 1: to find a way to score the football. I'm not

1572
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 1: sure that this year is going to be what they

1573
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 1: needed to be for everything to come together. And for

1574
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:25,800
Speaker 1: that reason, I have them going seven and five. I

1575
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:29,919
Speaker 1: have them going eight and four, have their four losses

1576
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:34,200
Speaker 1: to oh wait, or it could It could be seven

1577
01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:38,240
Speaker 1: and five too, because I'm being hopeful about the Michigan

1578
01:38:38,240 --> 01:38:41,400
Speaker 1: game because I do root for Pack twelve teams. I'm

1579
01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:43,840
Speaker 1: back to Pack guy. If you aren't a back to

1580
01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:46,920
Speaker 1: Pack person, go look up Back to Pack episode in

1581
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve apostles. We have a whole debate about

1582
01:38:49,360 --> 01:38:52,679
Speaker 1: this and why everybody's wrong? Who's not back to Pack?

1583
01:38:53,640 --> 01:38:58,880
Speaker 1: I am, and so I am hoping that because the

1584
01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:02,680
Speaker 1: game is supposed we played in Seattle. That I was

1585
01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: banking on Washington's crowd being a factor against Michigan and

1586
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 1: then being able to squeak out a game. And that's

1587
01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:14,519
Speaker 1: that seventh or eighth win for me, because they have

1588
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:19,320
Speaker 1: them beating Sex State, Utah State, Utah, Oregon State, Stanford,

1589
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:23,559
Speaker 1: Colorado in Arizona and losing to Oregon, USC Washington State,

1590
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:25,719
Speaker 1: who finally wins an Apple Cup with the new coach,

1591
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:31,160
Speaker 1: and losing to Cal as well. So I got Washington

1592
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:34,880
Speaker 1: at at eight and four, but could be seven and

1593
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:40,559
Speaker 1: five depending on what happens with that Michigan game. Because

1594
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:45,120
Speaker 1: last year you had hopes were very high with your

1595
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:51,599
Speaker 1: boy Jacobson Ralph, you got Jacob Eison, and Washington's offense

1596
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:56,840
Speaker 1: was what they're scoring offense. They average thirty one points

1597
01:39:56,840 --> 01:39:59,960
Speaker 1: a game, which was not bad at all. They're scoring

1598
01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:04,800
Speaker 1: defense only gave up twenty points a game. But they still,

1599
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean like they were the opposite of Cow. Cow

1600
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 1: won all those games and only scored twenty points a game.

1601
01:40:12,920 --> 01:40:18,800
Speaker 1: And but but their defense, and they're scoring defense was cow.

1602
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 1: Scoring defense gave up two points a game, so they

1603
01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:26,080
Speaker 1: scored less than what they gave up, and they still

1604
01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:28,920
Speaker 1: found a way to win seven games in the regular season,

1605
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 1: and you had Washington State scored ten more points than

1606
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:36,960
Speaker 1: what they gave up. It was eleven more points than

1607
01:40:36,960 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 1: what they gave up, and they only managed seven wins

1608
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:43,080
Speaker 1: as well in the in the pact twelve North go figure, Ralph.

1609
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:46,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean they were eight there. This is

1610
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,840
Speaker 1: such a weird team that was, you know, obviously not

1611
01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:54,120
Speaker 1: as good as they wanted to be, but also eighteen

1612
01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 1: points away from being twelve and one. Oh, don't do that, Ralph,

1613
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:03,799
Speaker 1: don't don't do the they're they're they're they're eighteen points

1614
01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:07,519
Speaker 1: away from being undefeated. They had four one score losses,

1615
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,759
Speaker 1: one of those was by one point. The only really

1616
01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:21,479
Speaker 1: bad loss, the only really bad loss was to Stanford. Yeah, yeah,

1617
01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 1: I guess you could say that. But I mean, they

1618
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:29,160
Speaker 1: were objectively, they were objectively poorly performing. But it's just

1619
01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 1: amazing to me that they were good enough two be

1620
01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 1: eighteen points away from going twelve and one leg because

1621
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:45,759
Speaker 1: all of their winds were blowouts. Yeah yeah, yeah, Because

1622
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:48,679
Speaker 1: Oregon State had no office to speak of. Their only

1623
01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 1: points were given to them by Jacob Eason. Um. Yeah,

1624
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 1: and they beat everybody else down. Average loss was by six,

1625
01:41:57,360 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 1: average win was by at least two touchdowns. It's way,

1626
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:02,800
Speaker 1: it's a way. It's a weird season. But when you

1627
01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 1: watch them in those games that they lost, they looked

1628
01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 1: like garbage. YEP. I would totally agree with that because

1629
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:14,639
Speaker 1: in the Oregon game, they just like they just got

1630
01:42:14,760 --> 01:42:17,479
Speaker 1: road graded at the end. They hung in there with

1631
01:42:17,720 --> 01:42:20,360
Speaker 1: Utah too, and then lost it in the end, like

1632
01:42:20,520 --> 01:42:24,000
Speaker 1: it was almost like they just couldn't finish at all.

1633
01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:27,599
Speaker 1: And their offense was just I see why Washington fans

1634
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:31,479
Speaker 1: complained about Chris Peterson's offense so much, even though I

1635
01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:36,440
Speaker 1: love him as a coach. It just wasn't as explosive

1636
01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:38,800
Speaker 1: and dynamic is what you need to win a lot

1637
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:42,800
Speaker 1: of football games. Uh. The last team up, though, is

1638
01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 1: new head coach Rolovich. Nick Rolovich, who came from Hawaii

1639
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:54,479
Speaker 1: to replace Ralph's ralph in my favorite coach in the

1640
01:42:54,520 --> 01:43:01,639
Speaker 1: Pack twelve former favorite Pat twelve coach Mr Non Accountability

1641
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 1: or responsibility himself Mike Leach, who bolted to Mississippi State.

1642
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:12,880
Speaker 1: His team did make a ball game last year and

1643
01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:17,360
Speaker 1: did not well. They lost the Air Force, but so

1644
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 1: did Colorado. I guess too who beat them? So, dude,

1645
01:43:24,040 --> 01:43:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of Washington State. They're

1646
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:30,479
Speaker 1: not super talented, but I think Rollovich come comes in

1647
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:34,360
Speaker 1: gets a couple of wins because people don't know his

1648
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:39,160
Speaker 1: system necessarily as much. I guess they a few pack

1649
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 1: twelve teams have played against them in Hawaii, but he's

1650
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:46,320
Speaker 1: got better talent, may switch it up some. I think

1651
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:53,519
Speaker 1: they beat Utah State, Houston, Idaho, Colorado. I think they're

1652
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:56,679
Speaker 1: gonna sneak you dubbed this year in Arizona State because

1653
01:43:56,720 --> 01:44:01,280
Speaker 1: they play them in um impullment and then lose to

1654
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 1: Utah Oregon State cal Utah Stanford us l A in

1655
01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:09,120
Speaker 1: Oregon for a six and six season and a ball game.

1656
01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:15,560
Speaker 1: Do you think that Max Borgie is going to benefit

1657
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 1: from this? Because the obvious answer is, well, of course,

1658
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:22,160
Speaker 1: a running back is going to get to run the

1659
01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:26,280
Speaker 1: ball more. Um Miles Read, the main back for Hawaii

1660
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:29,479
Speaker 1: last year, had a hundred and seventy four carries, but

1661
01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:33,320
Speaker 1: he only had three receptions. Max Borgie had two hundred

1662
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:37,280
Speaker 1: and two total touches. Eighty one of those were receptions.

1663
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,280
Speaker 1: Are they going to be able to use Max Borgie

1664
01:44:41,320 --> 01:44:46,160
Speaker 1: appropriately in this offense. With him being so multi fascinating,

1665
01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:49,840
Speaker 1: he thinks he's going to get the ball a lot

1666
01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:53,479
Speaker 1: because I remember him tweeting when Mike Leech left, like

1667
01:44:53,720 --> 01:44:56,439
Speaker 1: and when Rolovich got hired, you know that means more

1668
01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:58,439
Speaker 1: carrious for me or whatever it was that he put

1669
01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:01,160
Speaker 1: out there. So he's very aware of it. But just

1670
01:45:01,320 --> 01:45:04,960
Speaker 1: looking at the production from Hawaii last year, it's not

1671
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:06,680
Speaker 1: like they checked down. It's not like they threw the

1672
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:11,559
Speaker 1: ball to any of their backs out of the backfield.

1673
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:14,519
Speaker 1: So what if this ends up being a bad fit

1674
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:20,040
Speaker 1: for Max Borgan, I don't think it will be because

1675
01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:26,479
Speaker 1: good coaches, which I think Rolovich, maybe they get their

1676
01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:29,120
Speaker 1: best players the ball. They find a way to do it,

1677
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:31,400
Speaker 1: even if they're not gonna hand the ball off a lot,

1678
01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:34,760
Speaker 1: or whether they wouldn't ordinarily throw the ball to their

1679
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:39,599
Speaker 1: back a lot. They Max Borgi is the guy like

1680
01:45:39,720 --> 01:45:42,879
Speaker 1: he can make people missing space. He's a good receiver.

1681
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:46,479
Speaker 1: He's Christian McCaffrey light, and yes that is an easy

1682
01:45:46,600 --> 01:45:52,160
Speaker 1: reference because they're both white. But in terms of just

1683
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 1: being a versatile back, can carry the ball, catch the ball.

1684
01:45:56,680 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 1: But I don't think he's as dynamic as Christian McCaffrey,

1685
01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:01,960
Speaker 1: but we don't know because he get a chance to

1686
01:46:02,040 --> 01:46:05,160
Speaker 1: run the ball as much. So we shall we shall

1687
01:46:05,240 --> 01:46:12,880
Speaker 1: see I six and six. Yeah, I think they go

1688
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 1: to a bowl. Yeah, yep, I think roller roller bitch

1689
01:46:18,640 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 1: goes And that would make on my list. That gives

1690
01:46:22,160 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 1: one too. That gives Washington State, Washington, Utah, USC U,

1691
01:46:28,560 --> 01:46:38,840
Speaker 1: c l A, Oregon State, Oregon, Cal and Arizona. That

1692
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:47,960
Speaker 1: gives me. Um, yes, I have nine Bowl eligible teams. Okay,

1693
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:51,080
Speaker 1: I have sex, he said, Okay, okay, like it like

1694
01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:53,479
Speaker 1: you laughed at me. They had seven last year. So

1695
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm pulling these SEC numbers because and the thing is

1696
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:59,680
Speaker 1: they just have to win their non conference games in

1697
01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:04,880
Speaker 1: the and they'll be all right. I got, I got,

1698
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:08,280
Speaker 1: I got six for you with Oregon taken on USC

1699
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 1: and the PacTel Championship. Yeah, I got Oregon versus USC

1700
01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:17,559
Speaker 1: in the Pact twelve Championship as well, with Oregon winning

1701
01:47:17,560 --> 01:47:21,960
Speaker 1: and then going to the College Football Playoff after they

1702
01:47:22,040 --> 01:47:25,080
Speaker 1: lose to North Dakota State and then North Dakota State

1703
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:27,760
Speaker 1: went the championship in Oregon went the championship and then

1704
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:31,200
Speaker 1: and then North Dakota States flying banners about who's the

1705
01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:35,400
Speaker 1: real champion, because that because that because that's how would

1706
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:40,280
Speaker 1: actually end. Before before we wrap this up, I just

1707
01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:42,120
Speaker 1: want to and maybe we can work on getting a

1708
01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:47,479
Speaker 1: guest to new Zach Hoffpower UM for for next week.

1709
01:47:47,760 --> 01:47:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too much into it before

1710
01:47:49,320 --> 01:47:51,719
Speaker 1: we know. You know a whole lot about what happened

1711
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:55,920

1712
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 1: passed away this last week. Somebody who I covered at

1713
01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:01,640
Speaker 1: the at the high school level. UM, and who was

1714
01:48:01,680 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 1: also drafted to play Diamondbacks baseball before spend a year

1715
01:48:05,240 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 1: in the minors, then going back to Stanford to finish

1716
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:10,719
Speaker 1: out his senior season before medically retiring. UH. He passed

1717
01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:13,760
Speaker 1: away in his sleep from what I understand, this last week,

1718
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:18,000
Speaker 1: and his parents launched a website, Zach Hoffpower Project dot com.

1719
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:21,759
Speaker 1: I tweeted it out from my Twitter at Ralph Amston

1720
01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:24,880
Speaker 1: z A H H O F F P A U

1721
01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 1: I R project dot com. They're still developing what it's

1722
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:31,479
Speaker 1: gonna be for specifically, but all the money that is

1723
01:48:31,560 --> 01:48:35,400
Speaker 1: raised is going to help people suffering from issues related

1724
01:48:35,439 --> 01:48:39,320
Speaker 1: to all areas of mental health. UM. And Zach was

1725
01:48:39,720 --> 01:48:43,719
Speaker 1: he was a safety's coach at Northern Colorado University UM

1726
01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:46,200
Speaker 1: and was very very open about some of the struggles

1727
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:49,760
Speaker 1: that he had due to concussions and lime disease. UM,

1728
01:48:50,320 --> 01:48:53,800
Speaker 1: very open, like incredibly open about some of the mental

1729
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 1: health struggles that that he had while he was around.

1730
01:48:56,640 --> 01:48:59,519
Speaker 1: He passed away at at six, And I think we

1731
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:02,120
Speaker 1: can get we're into that later UM and dedicate some

1732
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:04,920
Speaker 1: more time to it. But if you go to that link, UM,

1733
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 1: you can help his family raise some money to do

1734
01:49:06,960 --> 01:49:11,280
Speaker 1: some good in his memory. Yeah, and I do believe

1735
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:13,559
Speaker 1: that we do need to make sure that we give

1736
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, things like this that need to be talked

1737
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:21,720
