1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 2: Well, that's right, you heard the man. It's that time

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,079
Speaker 2: of week. My name is Bernie Frader. We're coming to

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: you live from the tyrack dot com studios here in

00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: The Way tire Buying should be absolutely ginormous. Show tonight,

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: the final weekend of college football. We'll be diving into

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: all that little NFL preview, and yes, I will be

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: talking at length later in the show about what I

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: know regarding the Michigan investigation. And keep one thing in mind, folks,

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: the NCAA has what's called a ninety day notice of allegations.

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: We haven't even interviewed the coaching staff yet. The investigation

15
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: from the NCAAA will take at least three more weeks

16
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: add ninety days to that. This pushes till februs I have.

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: It's my understanding Tony Petiti, the new commissioner of the

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: Big Ten, has a plateful it at this time has

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: no plans to investigate Michigan. So all that thought I'll

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: sort the craft with the manure later regarding that, and

21
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: I will get into the Urban Meyer situation. I've had

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: a lot of conversations this week. It's been twenty four

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 2: days since I sent the tweet that set the world

24
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: on fire. It's now been validated by multiple people. I

25
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: trust my sources. If you don't, that's a U problem.

26
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: We will get to that later. All kinds of stuff.

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: Oh and by the way, at midnight the finals Bernie

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: Frattos Trivia, we got out a really close race between

29
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: a couple of guys, and so we'll open up the

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: phone lines of eleven forty five. But let's not bury

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: the lead. The great Bill Veck one of my all

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: time favorites, as is his son Mike once said, the

33
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: most beautiful thing in the world is a ballpark filled

34
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: with people. Did you forget people? The World World Series tonight,

35
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: Game one, You know, f Scott Fitzgerald once said there

36
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: are no second acts in America. But don't tell that

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Right on schedule. They were leading

38
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: for the vast majority of the game, and then they

39
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: lose in the end. You know how this game goes.

40
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: There's no time clock. They gotta get you out twenty

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: seven times, and tonight it was actually thirty three times.

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: But the improbable Arizona Diamondbacks, how are they here? Don't

43
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: tell the Diamondbacks what f Scott Fitzgerald said. They may

44
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: be down one zip, but you know there's more games

45
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: to play.

46
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 3: You know.

47
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: Some of the most incredible aspects of the Arizona Diamondbacks

48
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: team is the fact that they did some things this

49
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: year that completely defy logic. I know you already know.

50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: They only one eighty four games, and that was like

51
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three Marlins, THEA Dodgers, the Astros twenty

52
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 2: five years ago. The eighty four Royals the fourth fewest

53
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: for a postseason participant in a one hundred and sixty

54
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: two game season. Only the seventy three Mets. Love the Mets.

55
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: Jason SMT's Mets. They won it all in seventy three.

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: Somewhere rod Gilbreath is smiling. Two thousand and five Podres

57
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: the only six Cardinals I covered that Tigers team. They

58
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 2: beat the Tigers in five. Tigers won one hundred and

59
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: four games, the Cardinals won eighty three. They had fewer

60
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: wins by one than this Arizona Diamondbacks team. But what

61
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: if I told you that in the middle of the season,

62
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: during a fifty game stretch, the Diamondbacks were eighteen games

63
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: under five hundred. Yes, they win sixteen to thirty four

64
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: mid season, and yet here is where they are. There's

65
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: never been a previous Pennant winner to have a fifty

66
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: game stretch as bad as sixteen and thirty four. Now

67
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: I realized the expanded four man increases the a club

68
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: with a naso sparkling regular season record, they got a

69
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: better chance of reaching the postseason. But this has happened before.

70
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: You've heard my diet try before. Baseball is different. Go

71
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: back one hundred years. Seventy nine percent of the time,

72
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: the team that wins the most games does not win

73
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: the World Series. Secondly, yes, the Arizona Diamondbacks actually had

74
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: a negative run differential. And you know, the regular season

75
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: was very benign, very vanilla vanilla. The Diamondbacks. They put

76
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: it together while being outscored by fifteen runs, believe it

77
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: or not. The Mets, yes, Jason's Mets again. Yes, they

78
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: lost eighty seven games this year, but they had a

79
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: better run differential than the Arizona Diamondbacks. Well, they were

80
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: negative twelve. The Diamondbacks were negative fifteen, but still doesn't

81
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: change the fact. The only other team to win a

82
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: Pennant with a negative run differential were Scott Shapiro's nineteen

83
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: eighty seven Twins. They were minus twenty. That was a

84
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: good team. Somewhere, Tom Kelly is smiling, as is Dan Gladden.

85
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: That was a good team. You recall they beat the

86
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: Saint Louis Cardinals in seven. The Cardinals won ninety five

87
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: games that year, So look, watch out, Rangers. This thing

88
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: is not over. And of course, to top it all off,

89
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: who were the Diamondbacks led by a grizzly veteran, a

90
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: fifty home run hitter. No Corbyn Carroll. Corbyn Carroll is

91
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: probably the presumptive NL Rookie of the year. He's asked,

92
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: actually the closest thing that the Diamondbacks have as an

93
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: MVP candidate. All of his numbers were clutch, including war

94
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: those types of things and look, and they also have

95
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: of course Katell Marte. He was the National Championship Championship

96
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: Series MVP. But how rare is it for a pennant

97
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: winner to have a rookie and a position player be

98
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: your MVP. It's happened three times in one hundred years.

99
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: Remember Freddy Linn of the seventy five Red Sox for

100
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: the greatest World Series of all time? They locked horns

101
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: with the Cincinnati Reds win seven games. They did not

102
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: win the World Series two thousand and eight. Evan Longoria,

103
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: he was the MVP, but they lost to the Phillies.

104
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: So can a rookie MVP candidate, the presumptive MVP, or

105
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: certainly the presumptive in a Rookie of the Year lead

106
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: his team that went sixteen and thirty four in the

107
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: mid season, had a negative run differential? Can you lead

108
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 2: them to a World Series? I don't see why not.

109
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: That's just simply the way baseball has gone this year. Now,

110
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: I won't bother giving you the name of the nineteen

111
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: eighty eighteen Cubs rookie, Charlie Hollicker, who was in the

112
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: same boat he played in the dead ball era. No

113
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: one's heard of Charlie Hollicker, including me. However, Eva Mongory

114
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: is still around. Well, Freddie Limb's still around too, but

115
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: Eva Mongoria was still playing. So there you have it.

116
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: The World Series, the Fall Classic, and it will probably

117
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: spill it a November. Of course, it will spill it

118
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: in November this year in any way you slice it.

119
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: If tonight is any kind of indication as to where

120
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: this World Series is headed, I think I think baseball

121
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: is in fine federal even though I realize the networks

122
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: aren't particularly happy that. You know, you have Phoenix in Dallas,

123
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: which are not considered too great markets. But the World

124
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: Series looks like it will deliver. Tonight's show is brought

00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: you know it? The irony as good as the Diamondbacks

130
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: bullpen has been, and it was tonight. Say for a

131
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: couple of pitches, you can't defend a walk. Walks are disaster.

132
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: Branch Ricky said that you walked the lead off batter

133
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: at any inning sixty percent of the time he scores.

134
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: There's the great bob lemon One said the two most

135
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: important things in life, close friends and a good bullpen

136
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: stay tuned. I think the World Series is really going

137
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: to deliver. These two teams deserve to be there, even

138
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: if they were not your favorite. Coming up we switched

139
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: to college football. There are a handful of undefeated teams.

140
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: The noose is tightening now, I realize as we head

141
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 2: into November, Saturday is a relatively nondescript matchup in terms

142
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: of matchups, a relatively nondescript Saturday, but there will be storylines.

143
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: It's not too soon to start to look ahead to

144
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: the four team Made for TV Invitational playoff. It's not

145
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 2: a playoff because week from Tuesday to get your first rankings.

146
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: So we'll bring in Jared lease Smith. You hear him

00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,400

Speaker 2: among his mini duties. Say hello to Jared Smith. Jared,

175
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: I know you got to be a burly buddy. I

176
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: appreciate you stand up late.

177
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, Bernie, I'm looking at the markets right now.

178
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 7: You know things are things are moving as they always.

179
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: Are, and they move. Boy, they most certainly are. So

180
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: we've got six Power five teams that are still undefeated,

181
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 2: and you've got Oregon and tear looming. You can't count them,

182
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: you can't scratch them off the dance card yet. And

183
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: in a minute, I'm going to get to some probabilities

184
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 2: for playoffs as we had it in November. But I

185
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: have a saying that the news is tightening and these

186
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 2: you get into November, these undefeated teams start to feel it.

187
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: Let's go through some of these games. Florida State visits

188
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: wake Forest. I full disclosure, I did grab wake Forest

189
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: plus twenty one. I feel like Florida State gets a

190
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: w but I feel like Wake Forest can give them

191
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: a little bit of a battle. Your thoughts on that game, Yeah, I.

192
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: Mean, I think when you look at the market, it

193
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: hasn't moved a whole lot, you know, kind of sitting

194
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: at twenty one all week. We saw a little bit

195
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 3: of buy on the dog early, the home dogs here,

196
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: and then it kind of settled back at twenty one.

197
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 3: It looks like it looks like there's a little appetite

198
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: for the underdog here at twenty one. Bernie so I

199
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 3: would say that's probably the number you're looking for here

200
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: with Wake Forest. Obviously, Florida State should handle this game,

201
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 3: but they've had a few moments in recent weeks, and

202
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: I think the big takeaway with Florida State it's really

203
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: hard to grade them. You look at the game against

204
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: LSU early, you look at the game against Clemson, you look.

205
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 8: At their big games this year.

206
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: And they've played almost a completely different rotation of defensive

207
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: players in that game. So I think they're kind of

208
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: saving up for the big games, and this one isn't

209
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: one of them.

210
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 8: So you might have a chance for wake to least

211
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 8: hang around well.

212
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: And you bring up an excellent point about getting your

213
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: finger on the pulse of Florida State. You saw what

214
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: happened at Boston College a couple of weeks ago, and

215
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: I grabbed the dog there. But be that as it may,

216
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: they still are undefeated and when they bring their a game,

217
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: Jordan Travis, they can play with anybody. Ask ask Ken

218
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: Oklahoma as if visit Kansas tomorrow as well or later

219
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: with Saturday, where you're at in the country, they're they're

220
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: they're the onlies undefeated team laying under double digits. Your

221
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: thoughts on Oklahoma invading Lace Lighthold.

222
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned that we saw a little dog money

223
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: come in here on Kansas late, and it does look

224
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: like we've kicked down to eight and a half. And

225
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: I think probably it's related to Jade Daniels.

226
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 8: I think that's the only reason why this number would.

227
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: Move a point over the last you know, hour, a

228
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: few hours or so. But when you look at this number,

229
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty fair. I think Oklahoma is better

230
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 3: than a touchdown favorite against Kansas, so I think even

231
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 3: with Daniels, it'll close north of a touchdown. And I

232
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 3: think it's all about how Kansas handles the bye week.

233
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: You know, you would expect some wrinkles early, but when

234
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: push comes to shove, I think it's pretty fair to

235
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: say Oklahoma.

236
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 8: Has a massive edge in this game.

237
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: Now, what's the letdown factor like or I just excuse me,

238
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 3: the lookhead factor like with Bedlam on deck.

239
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 8: That's always something to keep in mind.

240
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: The reason why I think Cincinnati is an interesting player

241
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 3: Oklahoma State because I think I think these big games,

242
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 3: especially late in the year, Bernie again, I think the

243
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: teams know which games they need to circle, and I

244
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: think the coaching staff gears up and down for those

245
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 3: games too. Bed Lamont Deck is a big deal and

246
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: even though Oklahoma states down, I wouldn't be shocked if

247
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: Cana kept this close. But kind of like the player

248
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: state wait game, when push comes to shove, Oklahoma should

249
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 3: be able to make plays to win the game. But man,

250
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 3: it's up the lates's big numbers, especially on the road.

251
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: You bring up a really good point, Jared, because on

252
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 2: the other side of the coin in Oklahoma State, who's

253
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: laying seven and a half to Cincinnati. Some people I

254
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: respect of grabbed the dog and Cincinnati let's jump to

255
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: the world's largest cocktail party. The game's lost a little luster.

256
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: I can't remember when George has been a fourteen point

257
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: favorite in this game. I'm not down on Georgia. I

258
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: think they're still very good. Your thoughts, yeah.

259
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 8: I think they'll be okay now.

260
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 3: They haven't covered this year, which makes the market interesting

261
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: with them because you would think George would be a

262
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: very public team.

263
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 8: But based on the split.

264
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: You know, bet MGM does the show on Saturday mornings

265
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: and we get really good data from them on where

266
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: the public percentages are. And this week it looks like

267
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: Flarida's one of the more popular bets on the board

268
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 3: at plus fourteen and a half. So that's surprising, right

269
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 3: because Georgia's Georgia too defending sational chance put the narrative

270
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 3: on Georgia, as you mentioned, a little bit down right,

271
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: you got the best player brought.

272
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 8: Bowers is out with an injury.

273
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: Of course they haven't covered this year, and it's a

274
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 3: rivalry game, but I think when you it's there's a

275
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: distinct edge for Georgia in this game. I think defensively.

276
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 3: If you go watch the tape Georgia Kentucky from a

277
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: few weeks ago, it was the one game Georgia covered

278
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: this year, they seem to understand that the moment's getting

279
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 3: bigger now and and I think that game against Kentucky.

280
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: Kentucky was five and all at the time, there was

281
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: some hype coming in on Kentucky that week, and Georgia said, Okay,

282
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: this is the moment that we're going to stand up

283
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: and really show who we are. And I think Georgia

284
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: will do that in this game. Carson Becks, the Jacksonville

285
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 3: kid playing in his backyard.

286
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 8: I'm assuming they're going to let him cook in this game,

287
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 8: and I'm not too concerned. I mean, Bowers's pumps.

288
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: And pros this week, but they digged the Georgia point

289
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: point and a half for Bowers be out, and that's

290
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: saying something for a tight end that's rare tight end

291
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: has that much impact in the points spread. But the kid,

292
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 3: the backup kids like the number one tight end from

293
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: the class last year after help, so.

294
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 8: They're going to be fine at that position.

295
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: George's got an embarrassment of riches, and I agree. I

296
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 3: think if they can get a lead, this for offense

297
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: is not built to come from behind, and that Georgia

298
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: defense is going to keep them in.

299
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 8: A phone booth.

300
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: And hopefully lad McConkey is healthy and the two transfer

301
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: stud wide receivers from Missouri and LSU if they can

302
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: step up this week. I think your assessment on Georgia's

303
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: spot on stump to Ohio State Wisconsin. Different look on

304
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: the Ohio State team this year. Their defense is much

305
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: better than it's been in the last couple of years.

306
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: Maybe not to super flashy offense, but still, calm McCord

307
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: twelve tds, one interception. Would you lay the fourteen at Wisconsin?

308
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's weird with this Ohio State game.

309
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: I want to lay it with Ohio State because Wisconsin's

310
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 3: offense is just a disaster.

311
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 8: I mean it is. You want to now, I don't

312
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 8: know if you knew this Bernon Bouben Penn State alone.

313
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 8: So last game was.

314
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 3: Torture for me because I knew heading into that game

315
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: James Franklin at six weeks to get his quarterback early

316
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 3: with Mike Yersich to get that offense rolling, and they

317
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: kind of, you know, played with their food a little bit.

318
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: They covered all the numbers, that's cool, but they didn't

319
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 3: really show you anything offensively, and that's pretty much what

320
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: Wisconsin is. So Brandon Locke is the freshman that took

321
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 3: over for Tanner Mordecai who's injured, and Locke's numbers went

322
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: under pressure. Now it's a small sample, he's only played

323
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 3: about a game and a half, but when you look

324
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: at his numbers under pressure, it's like a dramatic drop

325
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: off twenty two percent.

326
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 7: Completion percent and just turn over where they play.

327
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 8: Rights to the roof.

328
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 3: The offensive line for Wisconsin is not the offensive line

329
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: of years. Pass Their running game has been very spotty

330
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 3: this year. This is a team that needed a ninety

331
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: five yeard pick six to beat Rutgers. They got outscored

332
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: by I was offensive home. It was the defense that

333
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 3: scored in that game, or special teams, I think, And

334
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: they shouldn't have covered against sorts or something. And they

335
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 3: were out gained in that game. And they struggled against

336
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 3: Buffalo too.

337
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 8: I mean, I just.

338
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 3: Don't see how this Wisconsin.

339
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 8: He moved the ball.

340
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: I mean, they needed a miracle in the fourth quarter.

341
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 3: Last week, Johnny Newton, the best player on Illinois, got

342
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 3: ejected for targeting in the fourth quarter and that's when

343
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 3: Wisconsin's offense went nuts. So I just don't know how

344
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: Wisconsin moved the ball in this game. And I don't

345
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: love what I'm seeing from Kyle McCord, but this is

346
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: a Wisconsin stake to me.

347
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 8: Maybe the magic of Madison makes this game close. I

348
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 8: don't know.

349
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 3: They returned upon something flukish, but sure, I just don't

350
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 3: see how Wisconsin keeps it close.

351
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: No, we're in agreement. I'd be remiss if I didn't

352
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 2: mention UCLA Colorado. I heard the Rose bull is sold

353
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: out and there.

354
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 8: Must be more Colorado fans.

355
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: Well, it's gotta be Well, what's interesting is I saw

356
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: the sendoff line at seventeen. It's down to fifteen, so

357
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: some money's coming on the dog. But look, Shadorf Sanders

358
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 2: still throwing for twenty five hundred yards, twenty one touchdowns,

359
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 2: three picks. Can I don't feel like Colorado can hang

360
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: this number. Speaking of defenses, I think they've met a

361
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: real match in UCLA.

362
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, yeah, I think the numbers telling us who

363
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 3: the better team is right, and and we might perceive

364
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 3: Colorado still in a in bowl.

365
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 8: Territory at least I think most reasonable.

366
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: But Bernie mean you you've probably experienced a lot of

367
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: this if you talk to some of the people around.

368
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 7: I mean, the first few weeks people call Colorado was

369
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 7: to win.

370
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 3: The National championship, and in reality and the reality set in,

371
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 3: and that now I think we've, you know, moved our

372
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: expectations down to go to a bowl game. But even

373
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: that now I think is kind of kind of up

374
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: in the air. I was, I was intrigued. And you know,

375
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: the partner that I do my college football picks with,

376
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 3: Tim Murray works in town.

377
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 8: Here in Vegas.

378
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 7: I'm sure you're familiar with him.

379
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 3: We were talking back and forth about this game. And

380
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: when he messaged me in the afternoon.

381
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 8: Before our show. I did a show with him the earlier.

382
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 3: This afternoon, and he's like, Colorado number just moved down

383
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 3: two points, like out of nowhere, like Steve just.

384
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 8: Coming from left field.

385
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: And I think it's because Ucla filone probably caught win

386
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 3: to who started quarterback for UCLA. And that's the only

387
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: explanation I could give besides maybe your factor in Hey,

388
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 3: maybe they found out that there's a lot of Colorado

389
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: fans at the game and the home field for UCLA

390
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: is not going to be as decisive.

391
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 8: I don't know.

392
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 3: It was a very random move in the market midday,

393
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 3: So keep an eye on this one tomorrow. I can

394
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: see a world where Colorado keeps it close, but they're

395
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: not going to win this game. And I think UCLA

396
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: is a much stronger team, but you know, they have

397
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 3: a quarterback situation right now with the freshmen and Garber's

398
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: the transfer, so it could be a bit of a

399
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: vollattle game, as most Buffalo games have been this year.

400
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: I think this Chip Kelly team is very physical, particularly

401
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 2: in the trenches, and I am not a steam chaser.

402
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: I didn't like it at seventeen so I sure don't

403
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 2: like it. At fifteen. Let's look ahead because it's not

404
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: too soon, Jared. A week from Tuesday, we have our

405
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: first four team projection of what I call the Made

406
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: for TV Invitational Playoff. Ohio State according to this all

407
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 2: state ranking, mainly because of their strength of record right

408
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: because they played under Dame in Penn State, They've got

409
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 2: a very high probability according to the Sault State to

410
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: make the playoff in seventy four percent, and Oklahoma, Florida State,

411
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: Michigan behind them. And as you know, there'll be a

412
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: lot of changes. What are your thoughts as you look ahead? Again,

413
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 2: we've got six undefeated teams which you can't count Alabama.

414
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 2: Can't count out Alabama, well, North Texas nor Oregon. And

415
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 2: you know what if Penn State can beat Michigan, and

416
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: they can November eleventh, I think this can turn into

417
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: a quagmire. Who jumps out at you a gun to

418
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: your head? Is the final four? You know? In the

419
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: first pass here in a week and Tuesday.

420
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 3: Well, it's a great question, because this is a thought

421
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: exercise I have done all year.

422
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 8: Burnie.

423
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 7: On September fifth, I started this.

424
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 3: Thread and I picked my CFFI after week one, after

425
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: I saw the first group of teams, so and then

426
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: every week I have picked the CFP and it's not

427
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 3: my top four team. It's the teams I think will

428
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: be in the playoff based off of the pack.

429
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 2: That's been my second question, So go ahead, yes.

430
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 8: The first.

431
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: So the first week, the first time I did this,

432
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: I picked Georgia one, Florida State two, Michigan three, Bama four.

433
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 8: That was my four.

434
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: And after this past week, Bam is out, Oklahoma's in,

435
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 3: and it's the other four. It's Georgia, Michigan, Floristate, Oklahoma.

436
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: So and I did have Texas in there at one point,

437
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: and obviously Oklahoma jumped Texas.

438
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 8: But for the most part, it's.

439
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 3: Been Georgia, Michigan, Florida State the whole season, and then Texas, Oklahoma,

440
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: Alabama one of those three kind of rotating, and frankly,

441
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 3: I think that's how I feel right now. I don't

442
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: think the PAC twelve unfortunately, unless Oregon runs the table.

443
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: I don't think Washington's running the table. Washington is going

444
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 3: to lose at some point soon. I think that Arizona

445
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: State game last week was a red flag Oregon I

446
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: think has a chance to run the table and get in,

447
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: and I placed the bone Nick Seisman bet as a

448
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 3: little bit of collateral for that.

449
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 8: I think.

450
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: Really though those seven teams I mentioned Georgia, Mischigon In Florida, Stay, Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama,

451
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 3: I think those are the teams really to me that

452
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: that feel final fort worthy.

453
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: Jared, great stuff. I really appreciate your hustle and all

454
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 2: your hard work, and I know you've got to get

455
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: up here in a few hours. Tell people where they

456
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 2: can find you Saturday morning, Yes.

457
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 8: Saturday morning, right back here in about six and a

458
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 8: half hours, writing early.

459
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 3: But I only sleep out four hours usually on three

460
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: two Fridays and fraft Saturday, so I got about an

461
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 3: hour worth of work left to do here, Bernie. But yes,

462
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 3: sixth to nine Pacific ninth to New Eastern contact of

463

464
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 3: a fun show. It goes without saying and all the

00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: All right, buddy, thanks so much for coming on. I'd

468
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: like to get you on early December when we have

469
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: our four team playoff and we'll go from there.

470
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 8: Excited to do Bernie good luck this week at.

471
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: Felt see you too. That's Jared Lee Smith really does

472
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: his research, does a great job and of course, as

473
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: you mentioned, you hear him on this network in about

474
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 2: six and a half hours with Brian Nole and Rich

475
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 2: ron Berger former Penn stater as well, and they you know,

476
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: they'll they'll take care to the kickoff for the early

477
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: games coming up. There were some winners and losers for

478
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: Week eight. A lot of times as we look ahead,

479
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: we'd like to look back. That formulates the future stories

480
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 2: in college football. The losers, well, maybe FC, maybe James Franklin.

481
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,239
Speaker 2: That's a bit of a tease. I'll get to that

482
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: in just a second. But first let's go to our guy.

483
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 2: If you had one shot, one opportunity for someone to

484
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: do a molly wopping update, it would be our guy,

485
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: Kevin Figures.

486
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: Thank you, Brandie, appreciate it.

487
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 9: Rangers took Game one of the World Series over Arizona

488
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 9: in pretty dramatic fashion on Friday night, first Cory Seger

489
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 9: hitting a game time two run home run in the

490
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 9: bottom of the ninth inning, and then a Doolie Garcia

491
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 9: with a walk golf blast in the bottom of the eleventh,

492
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,080

Speaker 9: nothing series lead. Game two will be Saturday night at

494

495
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 9: forty one points for Steph Curry, he outdueled the Aaron Fox,

496
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 9: who scored thirty nine for Sacramento Warriors with Ay won

497
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 9: twenty two to one fourteen victory. The Jazz defeat of

498
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 9: the Clippers, won twenty to one eighteen thirty five points

499
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 9: there for Lori Markin and Victor win Bin Yama scored

500
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 9: twenty one points in block three shots for the Spurs

501
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 9: as they got a victory over Houston. Forty nine points

502
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 9: and ten boards for Luka Doncic has Dallas defeated at

503
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 9: Brooklyn won twenty five to one. Twenty you also had

504
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 9: victories for the Nuggets, Bulls and the Celtics, and the

505
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 9: NFL brought pretty questionable for Sunday's game against Cincinnati as

506
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 9: he remains in concussion protocol, though he was a full

507
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 9: participant in practice on Friday. Titan Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill

508
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 9: officially ruled out for their matchup against Atlanta.

509
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: All right back to Bernie Fredo.

510
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 2: All right, thanks buddy, appreciate it. So last week the

511
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: game of the year so far in terms of just

512
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: a couple of heavyweights getting together. Ohio States defense blanketed

513
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: Penn State. They beat him twenty to twelve, and that

514
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: was one of the most important games of the regular seasons.

515
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: Start to formulate where we're gonna end up in this playoff.

516
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: And it's noteworthy because five years after James Franklin promised

517
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: that the Nitty Lions would eventually elevate themselves to be

518
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: the top teams in the Sub Bowl Division. Look, it

519
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: just reinforces the program's place. Penn State's a very good team,

520
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: but they're not elite. They're just kind of treading water

521
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: when they get on the field with the big boys.

522
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 2: Now they can change our mind on November eleventh when

523
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: they get they play Michigan, and they can beat Michigan, Okay,

524
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: but they have to do it. Meanwhile, Ohio State, they're

525
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: finding new ways to win games in the Big Ten.

526
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: They had, you know, back to back losses to Michigan.

527
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 2: I think that really greats them. They're very motivated. They're

528
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: a physical team this year and they're defined a little

529
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 2: bit more by their defensive excellence, then by that usual

530
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: top ten. You know that that wide receiver offense that

531
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: they featured the last few years, and that offense is

532
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 2: taken a step back, but the defense is taken a

533
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: step forward. So we're gonna just have to wait till

534
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and when they get on the field against Michigan.

535
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: But look, when you look back last week the losers

536
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 2: James Franklin, sorry, he's now one to nine against Ohio State,

537
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: four fifteen combined against Ohio State and Michigan. Can he

538
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: change it on November eleventh? Yes, But there just seems

539
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: to be this sense of missed opportunities and unrealized expectations.

540
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 2: It just gets worse every single year. And Ohio State

541
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: and Penn State, or Ohio State and Michigan of their

542
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: benchmarks until they surpassed them. Well you know the deal.

543
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 2: Lincoln O'Reilly in southern California. Man, my god, has the

544
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: bubble burst? Another week, another off of loss, And unlike

545
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 2: the week before where they got molliwop by Notre Dame,

546
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: this one was at home. They were a seven point favorite.

547
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: Utah drives fifty four yards with their backup quarterback in

548
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: the final one to forty six. They make a thirty

549
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: eight yard field goal to beat SC as time expires.

550
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: Thirty four thirty two. Bryson Barnes not cam Rising. Bryson

551
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 2: Barnes throws for four touchdowns and that crucial scramble run

552
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 2: on the final drive that offsets Kleb Williams two hundred

553
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: and fifty yards. He had one rushing score and SC

554
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 2: looked a little better than they did against Notre the

555
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: end the week before. But they're done. No playoff, They're

556
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: not even gonna go to the Pac twelve championship game.

557
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: You still got Oregon in Washington and UCLA and deck

558
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 2: I like to think the USC Trojans for participating in

559
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three season. This is a massive disappointment.

560
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 2: And if you're listening locally on five seventy eight in

561
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: south of California, don't act like it's not. That's just

562
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: a fact, all right, North Carolina. They had a little

563
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: bit of a come up and last week as well.

564
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: It happens Clemson, they continue to drift downward, their worst

565
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 2: season in thirteen years, twenty eight to twenty overtime loss

566
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: to Miami. Again Clemson, they've had this issue all year.

567
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: They turned the ball over three times, you have a

568
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: non existent running game. They were still in position to

569
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: win the game late to the fourth quarter, but there

570
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: were no heroics. Arkansas, same team, worst team in the

571
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: SEC West Iowa. Fun and games for a while there

572
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: in Iowa. But the jokes, the irolls. I said this

573
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 2: last week. The total was thirty and a half, which

574
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: was the lowest total in a college game in like

575
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: seventeen years. I said, well, there's no way in hell

576
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: I could play the ore where this could end up

577
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: being twelve ten. I just pulled that out of my tookus.

578
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: I didn't predicted it was twelve ten. How about those Hawkeyes?

579
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: How about that offense? He couldn't score in a women's

580
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 2: prison with a fist full of fifties one hundred and

581
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: twenty seven yards. Oh my god, good night, folks. Pitt

582
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: pat Nardoozy's never quite gotten it done down at Pitt.

583
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: He should have brought his you know what's that defense,

584
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 2: the no fly zone? Of course, that was many years ago,

585
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: when when they had you know, real NFL players, all right,

586
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 2: the winners. Those of you who thought Nick Saban might retire,

587
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 2: wash your mouth out was soil. I told you. Basically,

588
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: people buried Nick Saban in Alabama after they lost to Texas.

589
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 2: Then they struggled to put away South Florida early in September.

590
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: But what does Bama do? They keep winning every week. Yeah,

591
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: the games are close, not all of them close, but

592
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: most of them not the scat oft to the fourth quarter.

593
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: They did win last week thirty four to twenty to

594
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: beat Tennessee, but it was tight for a while, right,

595
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 2: They had earlier wins. They're stacking up now Mississippi, Arkansas,

596
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: et cetera. Bama has a bit of a tone down

597
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 2: offense built around Jalen Milroe. He only throws about twenty

598
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: times a game. It's not gaudy. It's not like it was,

599
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: not like it was with Bryce Young, not like it

600
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: was with Tua certainly not like it was with Jalen Hurts,

601
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: just not like it was. But Bama, here's the thing

602
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: to note, Nick Sabe, They're firing in all three phases.

603
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: Bama was down twenty to seven at halftime, and they

604
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: were laying seven, and they outscored the volunteers twenty seven

605
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: to nothing in the second half. And not only did

606
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: they get themselves another victory, but they avenge last year

607
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: shootout lost down in Tennessee. They don't you know, this

608
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: Bama team doesn't have the style points they've had in

609
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 2: the past, but they wear teams down because they got

610
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: a real strong defense and they're doing a much better

611
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 2: job of protecting the football. They'll make the occasional explosive play,

612
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: all right. Not a lot of flash, but one of

613
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: the things Alabama is showing typical Nick Saban fashion, extreme

614
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: mental toughness when it matters most. As the season goes on,

615
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: Alabama against better, don't scratch them off your dance card.

616
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: Florida State. They should be in the playoff. I agree

617
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 2: with Jared. They got three hundred and thirty yards of

618
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: total offense from Jordan Travis alone last week. They remain

619
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: unbeaten and Duke again, Mike Elko's done a hell of

620
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: a job. The game was closer than the thirty eight

621
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: twenty finals score. But at the end of the year,

622
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: they don't ask Kyle, just tom Annie Riley Leonard back

623
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 2: of the lineup for the Blue Devils, but he struggled

624
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: to get things going because maybe Florida's defense speed and

625
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: their their defensive speeds a little better than people realize.

626
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 2: All Right, Floria Stay can beat anybody in the nation

627
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 2: if they bring their A game. The question is do

628
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 2: they bring their A game? I like Dave Clausen and

629
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 2: Wake Forest Saturday plus at twenty one points. Missouri's pretty

630
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: good too. They're not gonna win the SEC, obviously, but

631
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 2: they're a very approved team. I love the name of

632
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: their coach. He makes my all name team Eli Drinkwitz.

633
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 2: Tiger's now seven to one. They took care of South

634
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: Carolina last week. They jump out twenty four to three,

635
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: then they kind of slept walk the second half. They

636
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: win thirty four to twelve. Believe it or not, I'm

637
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: gonna give a thumbs up to Matt Ruhle in Nebraska.

638
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: He is got this team headed towards a bowl game.

639
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: Another strong performance by their defense, which is very juvenated.

640
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: Yeah it was Northwestern, but again they don't ask Cole

641
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: just Tom Mannie seventeen to nine. They're four and three

642
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 2: now very quietly four and three, gonna have a chance

643
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,479
Speaker 2: to get six wins. They have a fairly friendly stretch

644
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: of games, as it were. It's easy for me to

645
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: say I don't have to play but you got Purdue,

646
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: Michigan State, Maryland, Wisconsin, and Iowa. He could conceivably, if

647
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 2: they run the table, which they're not, make a run

648
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: of the Big Ten title game. I don't know that

649
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: i'd say that, but give it up to Matt Ruhle.

650
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 2: He's revived that program, a very proud program. Finally, Kansas State,

651
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: they were all over TCU from the jump, forty one

652
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: to three win, probably the Wildcat's most impressive performance of

653
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: the season, most complete performance of this season. I like

654
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: their coach, Chris Clemon, and he told Michigan State he's

655
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: not interested. We're gonna get that. We're gonna get to

656
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: that later in the show about the urban minor stuff,

657
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: I promise. But they've got a rotation of athletes here

658
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: at Kansas State. They got a fine program. Remember they

659
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 2: beat TCU last year in the Big Twelve championship game.

660
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: Proud to TCU heading to the National Championship game. All right,

661
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: and by the way, coming up, I've got some more

701
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 2: of things and I'm gonna get to this in about

702
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 2: an hour. The FBI has now joined the University of

703
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 2: Michigan Police Department's investigation. There's some linkage to their former coach,

704
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 2: Matt Weiss, who was fired in January. There was reports

705
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 2: of unauthorized computer access crimes at the football building, and

706
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,240
Speaker 2: they hit. Parade just continues and it's dominating the airways.

707
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 2: By the way. The Michigan this disreputed sign stealing accusation

708
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: took on another angle on Thursday when TCU announced they

709
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 2: used Michigan Football's quote alleged sign stealing against them in

710
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 2: last year's college football playoff semi final. Upset called an upset,

711
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, get over yourself, Michigan. You were out gained,

712
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 2: You lost the turnover battle, you lost the time of

713
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 2: possession battle. You can sit there and say, oh, war one,

714
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 2: if if uh, if JJ McCarthy hadn't thrown two interceptions, Yeah,

715
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 2: well okay, I love JJ McCarthy. When you stare down

716
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 2: your hot read against a faster defense you used to

717
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 2: play in Indiana, in Illinois. Sorry, that's what happens. You

718
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 2: get pick sixes. Give TCU and Sunny Dikes a little credit.

719
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 2: One if you hadn't thrown two picks. Yeah, if your

720
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 2: aunt had balls, should be your uncle too. Put that

721
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: in your pipe and smoke it. Remember the horn fox

722
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 2: put up fifty one on you. That wasn't by accident,

723
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 2: That was a twenty twenty two Fiesta Bowl, and they

724
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: advanced the National Championship. We won't tell you what happened

725
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 2: against Georgia. Would have been just as bad if Michigan

726
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 2: would have played Georgia just like it was a year before.

727
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 2: But give it up to TCU and Sunday Dikes. Apparently

728
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,439
Speaker 2: they mixed in some dummy signals with the real ones

729
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: when they were calling plays. I will quote an anonymous

730
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: TCU quote. She said, sometimes we froze a play before

731
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 2: the snap. We'd call a play and then we'd single

732
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: in another play signal in another play with an old signal,

733
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: but we told the players to still run the original play.

734
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: The one Big ten coach said Michigan look quote visibly

735
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: desperate because it appeared to not know TCU signals on

736
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 2: December thirty first. Now multiple opponents play Michigan in that

737
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 2: fall or this fall. I guess have started using wristbands

738
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 2: instead of signals. And look, I'm not going to indict Michigan.

739
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do anything. I'll give an objective report

740
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 2: later and we'll see what happens. I give Jim Harbaugh

741
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 2: a lot of credit. I told you he was hard

742
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 2: to do. Two things beat Ohio State, went to Big ten.

743
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: He finally did it in the sixth and seventh year,

744
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 2: got to the playoffs back to back years. Still two

745
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: and five against Ohio State. You can leave out that

746
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: part if you want. He had to lose the first five,

747
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 2: then one, the last two, one and two in the playoffs,

748
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 2: one and six in bowl games. But I digress. By

749
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 2: the way, Penn State, I look for them to bounce

750
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 2: back big this week. They're zero against the spread against

751
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 2: unranked teams dating back to last season. Meanwhile, Georgia only

752
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 2: one and four against the number, and their last five

753
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 2: is a double digit favorite. Florida four and one against

754
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 2: the number in their last five games as a double

755
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 2: digit undertog Utah Again, maybe Irvin Myer's right. Kyle Winningham's

756
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: the best coach in the country. They're thirteen to four

757
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 2: against the number in October. In the last seven years,

758
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 2: Tulane has covered din straight road games. Really good football

759
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 2: team California. Now they play I believe USC Saturday. Their

760
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 2: last six games against ranked teams have gone over the total.

761
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 2: There'll probably be points in that game, of course, why

762
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 2: wouldn't there be in that defense. USC's defense couldn't stop

763
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: a nosebleed. They'll probably prove it again on Saturday. Sorry,

764
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 2: just gotta call them as I see him. Full lines

827

00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 11: Lebron James, Lebron Dames.

852
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 2: No, Lebron's number one. I thought I believe that would

853
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:02,680

854
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,640

00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 11: the last one from uh, you know, the first season,

863
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 11: it didn't go like for five hundred six out points.

864
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 11: But maybe next.

865
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,960

866
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, Poppy.

867
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, my pleasure burning anytime.

868
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: All right, what do we got? Uh? What's our bet?

869
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 6: So my Browns are actually taking on Patrick's Seahawks tomorrow

870
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 6: at one oh five pm Pacific Standard time. The Seahawks

871
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 6: are coming into the match minus four. Do they cover?

872
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

873
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 11: Well on this one, the Seattle Seahawks really need it.

874
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 11: I know, question about Walker the running back. I'm not

875
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 11: worried about. Shawks are gonna cover. They really need this

876
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 11: game on the Browns. So I'm taking the Seahawks minus four.

877
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, PJ. Walker is gonna start. Uh, and uh, believe

878
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 2: it or not, there's some three and a half's out

879
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 2: there because Bunny's come in on Cleveland.

880
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 10: Uh.

881
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 2: I'm kind of with Poppy on this one. I don't

882
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: like the Browns on the road here. After a physical

883
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 2: win against the forty nine ers, Seattle's pretty darn good

884
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 2: at home and every time Cleveland has expectations, they pooped

885
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 2: the bed. So let's see what they got. An outstanding defense.

886
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 2: But I think the Seahawks are really good at home,

887
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 2: so I'm with Poppy on the Seahawks.

888
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 6: All right, Poppy, good luck, buddy, Thanks Bobby, good talking.

00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 2: field position game. Kyle Whittingham will do that. Oregon's explosive.

930
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 2: This feels like a twenty four to seventeen type game

931
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 2: to me, So I'm gonna I'm gonna go with the under,

932
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 2: But good.

933
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 10: Luck Kurt, uh, what was the over under again?

934
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: Forty seven?

935
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 10: Forty seven? Yeah, over forty seven?

936
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 2: Okay, good luck. Hey listen, you know it's always risky

937
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 2: playing the under in college games because they can go overtime, right,

938
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 2: and it could be ten ten and overtime and the

939
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 2: damn thing could end up, you know, seventy two to

940
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 2: sixty nine for grand out aloud.

941
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 10: So all right, good, those are two really good football teams.

942
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. It's just a shame you

943
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: Tah hadn't gotten came razing back yet this year with

944
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 2: that injury. But this is Bryson Barnes getting it done too.

945
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 2: I really like this Oregon team. I think they're very,

946
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:27,280
Speaker 2: very good.

947
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 10: Neither one of them is as good as Oklahoma, though.

948
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: You know what, I think you're right there. You talk

949
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 2: about a defense. Oh my goodness, right, Dylan Gabriel line.

950
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 10: That goal line stand against Texas and the fake punt

951
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 10: and then Gabriel's touchdown.

952
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 2: What a stud What a great kid too. I really

953
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 2: love what they're doing there. So hey, well, I'll tell

954
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 2: you what, Kurt cool, We'll give you. We'll give you

955
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 2: thirty seconds of bonus time here. It seems likely that

956
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 2: Oklahoma and Texas will lock corns again in the Big

957
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 2: Twelve championship game. And I know the Texas fans are

958
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 2: crying because of hadn't been for turnovers and self inflicted wounds,

959
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 2: which is typical for a Steve Sarkisian team. Texas thinks

960
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 2: they're gonna be to Oklahoma next time. What are your thoughts.

961
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 10: I don't think they can beat Oklahoma.

962
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 2: It'll be.

963
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 10: It'll be if you stop Texas first in goal for

964
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 10: four downs and then win. Like Gabriel to that touchdown,

965
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 10: he was in a cocoon.

966
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 2: Oh what a clutch play. That was one for the ages.

967
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,240
Speaker 2: All right, Kurt, good stuff, outstanding work in the contest.

968
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 2: We'll see who comes out on top. Who's our next caller?

969
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,080

1034
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 2: I'm going I'm not going to do that, but I

1035
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 2: will give you generalities and what's happening. And when you

1036
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 2: combine the words Urban Meyer and Michigan State, and I'll

1037
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 2: share with you some of what I know. I'm Bernie Frederwick,

Speaker 2: the Bernie Frawdle Show, Fox Sports Radio Come to you

1042
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 2: live from the TIREC dot Com studios here in Las Vegas.

1043
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 2: Will take you up to two am Pacific, five am Eastern.

1044
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 2: October three. I was on the phone with very good

1045
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 2: source in East Lancing. He shared with me that Urban

1046
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 2: Meyer was in East Lancing. I confirmed it with three

1047
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 2: other sources and I went on to report that there

1048
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 2: had been mutual curiosity, exploratory conversations, but he want to

1049
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 2: call it an interview, it becomes semantical. Some believed it,

1050
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 2: others didn't. Anybody who challenged it, I said, well, ask

1051
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 2: your source if he was in East Lancing. I already

1052
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 2: know what was going on. And no one has taken

1053
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 2: up that challenge. No one's debunked it. Okay, let's straw

1054
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 2: a parallel. In twenty twenty two and on September eleventh,

1055
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 2: when Scott Frost was fired at Nebraska, there were all

1056
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 2: kinds of and of course the Nebraska fan base really

1057
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 2: wanted Urban Meyer, and Urban was very complimentary. I think

1058
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 2: I think Big Noon Saturday was there, but regardless, they

1059
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 2: made over them. They want them. And eleven days later,

1060
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 2: well Urban said, I'm not interested in quote the Huskers.

1061
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 2: He mentioned Nebraska specifically, and it had been reported by

1062
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:32,919
Speaker 2: multiple outlets that Nebraska had contacted Urban Meyer. So this

1063
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 2: has been very quiet and clandestine, and it's gone somewhat

1064
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 2: radio salm. And in the last twenty four days, you know,

1065
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 2: it has had its ebbs and flows, but people I

1066
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 2: trust have been there have been real discussions and I believe,

1067
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 2: and I mentioned in my original tweet that plenty of

1068
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 2: people are behind this, and the big money people are

1069
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 2: behind this, and that's proven to be true. You don't

1070
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 2: believe me, your own sources. If you don't believe me, again,

1071
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 2: it's you problem. I don't care if you believe me.

1072
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,840
Speaker 2: I know what the reality is, and I've spent a

1073
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 2: significant amount of time researching is investigating it, talking to people,

1074
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 2: including today, what's gonna happen? I don't know? You know?

1075
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 2: And in the law, a contract has three conditions, offer,

1076
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 2: acceptance and consideration. Do I believe there's been an offer? Yes,

1077
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 2: that's all I'm gonna tell you. I know a lot

1078
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 2: more details. Here's there been acceptance as of yet? No,

1079
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 2: and that may come down to consideration. Do we really

1080
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,959
Speaker 2: know how much urban Meyer wants to coach this team?

1081
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know, but my reportage has

1082
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 2: been from the beginning that the notion that there was

1083
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 2: no smoke there or fire behind it. Again, people want

1084
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 2: to turn Twitter into assess pool for their own personal interests.

1085
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 2: Knock yourself out. You don't have to give your real name.

1086
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 2: You put your face there and do anything you want.

1087
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 2: You know, and a lot of people have come out.

1088
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 2: If you listened to Jason and Mike earlier tonight, they

1089
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 2: do a great job. Monday through Friday seven to eleven.

1090
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 2: Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, Pete Futack was on their College

1091
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 2: Football Guy, and he blowed it out. He thinks Burban

1092
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 2: and meyerill probably be the next coach at Michigan State.

1093
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 2: I don't think he was joking. He might have been

1094
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 2: somewhat tuge. I don't think he was joking. Earlier this

1095
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 2: last week. If you've ever watched the Last Chance series

1096
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 2: on Netflix, a former you know, junior college coach named

1097
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 2: Jason Brown says he believes absolutely Urban will be a Spartan.

1098
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 2: He spoke to his sources. Okay, I don't know. I

1099
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 2: don't know if they're going to cross the finish line

1100
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 2: until Michigan State names a coach not named Urban Meyer,

1101
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 2: which I think they'll name their coach sometime by earlier

1102
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 2: to mid December, or until urban Meyer definitively comes out

1103
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 2: and says, and why not do it on Big Noon Saturday,

1104
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 2: Brady Quinn, you say you've heard otherwise, why hide it?

1105
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 2: I hide it. Go ahead, get it done, just like

1106
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 2: they did last year against Nebraska. Say I'm not going

1107
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 2: to Michigan State. I'm nine interested. But remember Nick Saban

1108
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 2: said that too. A lot of Urban denied going to

1109
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State, and he ended up going there and get

1110
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 2: you get the you get the picture right. Here's the

1111
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 2: reality that I think a lot of sanctimonious people want

1112
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 2: to ignore. The truth of the matter is if you

1113
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 2: look at the four programs that urban Meyer has been with,

1114
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 2: not only did he turn them around instantly when he left,

1115
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 2: he left the cupboard full and they continued to have success.

1116
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 2: His first head coaching job was at Bowling Green. They

1117
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 2: were seventeen and six when urban Meyer took over. Well,

1118
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 2: let me let me back up, okay, Bowling Green was

1119
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 2: two and nine before urban Meyer got there, and Meyer

1120
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 2: went eight and three in his first year. When he

1121
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 2: left Bowling Green, he left with the record of seventeen

1122
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 2: and six and the two years following. Bowling Green was

1123
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 2: twenty and six. When urban went to Utah, they were

1124
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 2: five and six the year before he got there, Meyer

1125
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 2: jumped them to ten and two in his very first year.

1126
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 2: When you double from five to ten wins, or at

1127
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 2: Bowling Green you go from two to eight, that's a

1128
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 2: massive improvement. Under urban Meyer, Utah was twenty two and two.

1129
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:20,439
Speaker 2: He built a foundation there. The six years after urban

1130
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 2: Meyer left, they were fifty seven and twenty and Utah

1131
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 2: is a very respectable program. Now Florida, granted they were

1132
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 2: seven and five. They were above five hundred before urban

1133
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 2: Meyer got there, but let's be honest, that by Florida

1134
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 2: standards is not very good. They went nine to three

1135
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 2: in urban Myer's first year, and after he left, well,

1136
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 2: actually he coached eighty games of Florida sixty five and fifteen,

1137
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 2: two national championships. All right, the two years after urban

1138
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 2: Meyer left Florida was eighteen and eight, and I don't

1139
00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 2: know that Will Muschamp was considered a great coach. He

1140
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 2: still went eighteen and eight with urban Myners players. Then,

1141
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 2: of course, you know what happened at Ohio State. Remember

1142
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 2: Ohio State was six and seven the year before urban

1143
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 2: Meyer got there. They went twelve and zero. Was very

1144
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 2: first year. He was eighty three and nine under urban Meyer.

1145
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 2: They've been forty nine and six since he left, and

1146
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 2: Ohio State won a national championship and urban won two

1147
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 2: national championships at Florida, So all but one of the

1148
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 2: programs he inherited had a losing record before he got there.

1149
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 2: And again, Florida by seven and five is not very

1150
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 2: good by their standards. That's that's disaster. Now you see

1151
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 2: what Dion Sanders has done at Colorado. At Michigan State,

1152
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 2: if Urban jumps there with the new transfer portal in

1153
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 2: nil and he's talked about, they'll figure it out just

1154
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 2: like the rest of the coaches did. Right. I think

1155
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 2: Urban would do at Michigan State what Dion did is

1156
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 2: done at Colorado time five. He makes him nationally relevated.

1157
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 2: I remember Michigan State was just no playoffs a few

1158
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 2: years ago. I don't understand this hate for East Lansing.

1159
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 2: I don't understand this derogatory commentary about Michigan State. This

1160
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 2: little brother stuff's crap. They are a very reputable institution

1161
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 2: with a rich history. They won two national championships under

1162
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 2: Big Ye one. They won a national championship in sixty

1163
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 2: six cole with Notre Dame. I bet you didn't know

1164
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 2: that before. They got smoked by Michigan forty nine and

1165
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,439
Speaker 2: nothing last Saturday, all the more reason to get Urban

1166
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 2: in there. They were ten and five against Michigan in

1167
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 2: their last fifteen games. So Urban Meyer took over cumulatively

1168
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 2: programs that were a minimum seven games under five hundred.

1169
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 2: He was thirty nine and eight CUMULATIVT in his first season,

1170
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 2: and he has had long term positive effects. So Urban,

1171
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 2: if he goes to Michigan State, I believe he'll love

1172
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 2: up to the hype. And I realize that this is

1173
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 2: the per storm because of the way things ended at Jacksonville,

1174
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 2: the way they ended at Ohio State, and the way

1175
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 2: they edited at Florida for Urban, combine that with the

1176
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 2: six Degrees of Larry Nasser and the current mel Tucker

1177
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,439
Speaker 2: debacle that Michigan State's still dealing with. It doesn't matter

1178
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 2: what Michigan State does, people are going to make fun

1179
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 2: of him, So why not take the hard punch. But

1180
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 2: the notion that none of this is real in terms

1181
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 2: of the dalliance between the two. And I can tell

1182
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 2: you from what I know. The money people at Michigan State,

1183
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 2: I believe have done a fabulous job and what they've

1184
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 2: offered and what I've heard, So we'll see what happens.

1185
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 2: You don't know all the factors that go into these decisions,

1186
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 2: and obviously I'm sure Urban's wife, Shelley's going to have

1187
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 2: a big say in this. But again, I want to

1188
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 2: double down and triple down. The notion that people don't

1189
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 2: think any of this has happened, or it's not real.

1190
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 2: You can kick rocks. You don't know what you're talking about.

1191
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 8: Coming up?

1192
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 2: Does major League Baseball playoff format knee changes? That's what

1193
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 2: some pundits are crying about. I don't agree, but I'll

1194
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,959
Speaker 2: give you what their thoughts are. Hi'm Bernie Frattle, coming

1195

01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 9: speaking of Oh, don't worry about it. It's all good.

1200
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 9: You're talking major League baseball. So will transition right into

1201
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 9: Game one of the World Series from Friday night. Rangers,

1202
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 9: continuing their clutch hitting all postseason long Corey Seeger one

1203
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 9: of their best bats in the playoffs, and they continued

1204
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 9: hit a game tying home run in the bottom of

1205
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 9: the ninth inning to send Game one into extra innings.

1206
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 9: And then it was a doleys Garcia, another one of

1207
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 9: their hottest stars. He had a walk off home runn

1208
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 9: of the eleventh, giving Texas the six to five victory,

1209
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 9: five straight games that Dolee Garcia has gone deep in

1210
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 9: these playoffs. Game two will be tonight at on Fox

1211
01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 9: at eight Eastern. Some news out of the NFL forty

1212
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 9: nine Ers. Quarterback Brock Party did practice in full on Friday,

1213
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 9: but technically still has not clear concussion protocol, so he

1214
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 9: is questionable to play against the Bengals on Sunday. Jimmy

1215
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 9: Garoppolo did return to practice for the Raiders. He is

1216
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 9: expected to start against Detroit for their game on Monday night.

1217
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 9: Tyrod Taylor will start for the Giants for the third

1218
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 9: straight game against the Jets as Daniel Jones continues to

1219
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 9: nurse his neck injury. And in the NBA, Luca Dontics

1220
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 9: scored forty nine points for Dallas and a victory over

1221
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 9: the Nets forty one points for Steph Curry on fourteen

1222
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 9: of nineteen shooting as the Warriors defeated Sacramento, the Magic

1223
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 9: Celtics and Utah Jazz with victories as well. Right back

1224
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:36,840
Speaker 9: to Bernie Fredo.

1225
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,959
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Kevin, appreciate it, Bud. So Look, there's

1226
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 2: been much There's been much consternation about the five day

1227
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 2: layoff between the end of the regular season and the

1228
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 2: start of the division series in Major League Baseball playoffs.

1229
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 2: Now I've said this before, but if you were the

1230
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,959
Speaker 2: Baltimore Orioles or the Los Angeles Star, if you had

1231
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 2: are the Atlanta Braves, excuse me, if you had a layoff,

1232
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 2: ask yourself. Finally of the season, you've earned a buye.

1233
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 2: But you can have your choice. You can have the

1234
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 2: buy you can jump in forty eight hours later and

1235
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 2: take your chances against the wildcard. You know, damn well,

1236
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 2: no one's gonna jump into the wildcard, all right. I

1237
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 2: don't think the five day layoff is the reason that

1238
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 2: Baltimore got beat by the Rangers, and the Diamondbacks beat

1239
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, and they both continued on right. The Rangers

1240
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 2: made it all the way to the world so instead

1241
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 2: of the Diamondbacks. Still here's the beef, the second straight

1242
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 2: elimination for the Atlanta Braves in particular, that's created a

1243
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 2: lot of discussion about the postseason format, which began last season.

1244
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 2: There aren't really any easy answers. But the truth of

1245
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 2: the matter is, and I've said this, baseball is different.

1246
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 2: Seventy nine percent of the time, the team of the

1247
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 2: best records don't win. Baseball is different now, I realize

1248
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 2: in making this format the way it was, Baseball did

1249
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 2: a lot of good things this year with the pitchclock

1250
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 2: and you know, the shift and the bigger bases, et cetera.

1251
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 2: And they thought they'd accounted for everything, went to new

1252
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 2: playoff system. They really did first round byes for the

1253
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 2: two top division winners, home games only for the higher

1254
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 2: seeded teams in the wildcard round best of three wildcard

1255
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 2: instead of the you know, you know, instead of the

1256
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 2: one game playoff before right five day lyoff. Was it

1257
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 2: too much? Well, that's what the excuse is. I'm not

1258
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 2: buying it all right, But for forty years in the divisional era,

1259
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 2: it's always been the argument rust versus rest. I don't know, right.

1260
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 2: For the first twenty four years from sixty nine to

1261
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 2: ninety three, the division champions they went straight to the

1262
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 2: league championship series. Then in nineteen ninety five a change

1263
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 2: after the strike, that system was in place. For sixteen years,

1264
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 2: each league had only one wildcard and the division series

1265
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 2: started right away. The trouble began with the addition of

1266
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,919
Speaker 2: a second wildcard league, and that led to the creation

1267
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 2: of the Wildcard game and the three day layoff of

1268
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 2: the divisional champions from twenty twelve to twenty nineteen and

1269
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 2: again in twenty twenty one. Now, the current five day

1270
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 2: layoff is longer than teams get at the All Star break.

1271
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 2: So it's a bit of an anomaly because baseball, you

1272
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 2: do play every day. But I don't know if a

1273
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 2: two years sample is enough for people to panic and form,

1274
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 2: you know, definitive conclusions as it were, by teams can

1275
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 2: still up winning the majority of these series. And as

1276
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 2: much as those clubs try to create competitive environments, you know,

1277
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 2: during their time off, you know, the Braves and the

1278
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 2: Dodgers and Oriels, they play simulated games. Maybe that just

1279
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 2: isn't enough. But the glaring example with the Braves, Okay,

1280
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 2: they were shut out zero times at home during the

1281
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 2: regular season, but they lost their divisional series opener to

1282
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 2: the Phillies three to nothing. Braves won one hundred and

1283
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 2: four games the Phillies one to ninety. But we've talked

1284
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 2: about this a year ago. The Braves won one hundred

1285
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 2: and one games to the Phillies eighty seven, but the

1286
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 2: Phillies won the division series in four games. I'm sorry

1287
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 2: I'm not going to attribute it to the format, because

1288
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 2: in baseball, it's never one thing to blame. The Braves

1289
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 2: rotation was not in full strength during the month of October.

1290
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 2: Last October, it's not at full strength this October. The Oriols,

1291
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 2: they have even less reason to set the playoff loss

1292
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 2: for their loss against the Rangers. They didn't hit in

1293
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 2: Game one, but they didn't hit down the stretch either,

1294
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 2: And when they did hit in Game two, their pitchers

1295
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 2: walked eleven people and they scored eight runs. So some

1296
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 2: of this data doesn't add up. They meaning the Oils

1297
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 2: scored eight runs. They lost eleven to eight, but they

1298
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 2: scored eight runs. Now the Astros, who had had they

1299
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 2: beaten Texas, would have been the only team, I mean,

1300
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 2: fifth World Series in seven years. Did they only buy

1301
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 2: a team to win their opener? Then they lost game two?

1302
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 2: So if the Astros would have lost that series, I

1303
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 2: suppose you could have blamed the layoff. But they won

1304
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 2: their opener game Okay, but you know how these things go.

1305
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 2: There's going to be scrutiny for starters. But this has

1306
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 2: always been the case too. Home field advantage has not

1307
01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 2: really provided the edge in the playoffs. At the league envision.

1308
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 2: Look what just happened in the Phillies series and the

1309
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks and the diamond Backs winning game six and seven

1310
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 2: on the road and Texas winning Game six and seven

1311
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:29,760
Speaker 2: on the road in Houston and losing all three games

1312
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,839
Speaker 2: at home. Lower seeds, they're used to playing on the road. Man,

1313
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 2: They've won five of the eight wild Card series the

1314
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 2: past two seasons. So Kevin, are you there, buddy, it's

1315
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 2: Kevin there. Hey, Bernie Berney, want to get your take

1316
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,840
Speaker 2: on this, because now we're into the World Series that

1317
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,719
Speaker 2: we're way past these dogs. It might have been Flukes.

1318
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 2: You got Texas and he got Arizona in the finals

1319
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 2: to win it all. What do you have thoughts, Kevin

1320
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:58,639
Speaker 2: on the playoff format if it needs to be changed,

1321
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 2: or do you buy the excuse that the layoff cause this.

1322
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 9: Not really I certainly understand the gripe that baseball is

1323
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 9: a rhythm sport, it's an everyday sport. But look, most

1324
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 9: of the time, you know, people praise the fact that

1325
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 9: they get themselves a chance to be able to set

1326
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 9: up their rotation, give guys a bit of a rest

1327
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 9: going into a series. So look, it hadn't hurt the

1328
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 9: Houston Astros the last couple of seasons they've gotten passed

1329
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 9: the first round, got to the World Series and won

1330
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 9: it last year after having a buye. The Yankees had

1331
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,280
Speaker 9: a buy and also advanced a couple of years ago.

1332
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 9: So to your point, I think major League Baseball just

1333
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,640
Speaker 9: kind of lends itself when the postseason starts. It's just

1334
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 9: different than the regular season. Even Rod Manfred, who I

1335
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,640
Speaker 9: disagree with ninety percent of the time, one of the

1336
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:39,760
Speaker 9: things that he says, but he even said when they

1337
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 9: interviewed them on Friday night, He's like, look, most of

1338
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 9: the time history has showed us teams that win hundred

1339
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 9: plus games in the top seeds traditionally don't win. So

1340
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 9: I think the format, because it's new, because it's different,

1341
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 9: I think people are trying to point out the fact

1342
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 9: that it doesn't work and that you have lower seated

1343
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 9: teams that are advancing. But if you look over the

1344
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 9: history of Major League Baseball, especially in the wildcard era,

1345
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:03,719
Speaker 9: typically the top seeds don't always advance.

1346
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 1: Anyway.

1347
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 9: I don't have the exact numbers in front of me

1348
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 9: at the moment in time, but I don't feel like

1349
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 9: that it's that much different than what the baseball postseason

1350
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 9: has been traditionally, So.

1351
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 2: Exactly, I've reported that on that a couple of Friday

1352
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 2: nights and gave the data how baseball is different, Yeah,

1353
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 2: going back one hundred years. So a couple things you're

1354
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,640
Speaker 2: not going to believe what's being banned about. One is

1355
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 2: what's called the John Smoltz plan, all right, which would

1356
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 2: be after Game three of the Wildcard series, you start

1357
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 2: the divisional series the next day, there are no days off.

1358
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 2: Would you like that plan.

1359
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 8: Now?

1360
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 2: Would reduce the time off from five to four days? Yeah?

1361
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:39,599
Speaker 9: I mean does one day make that big of a difference?

1362
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 9: I probably not, Now two days would, But how would

1363
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 9: you make that work? And because there has to be

1364
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 9: also an instance of fairness as well for the teams

1365
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 9: that are playing in the wildcard round. So I don't

1366
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 9: know if there is, if there really is a way

1367
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 9: to fix this situation. And I look, I give Rob

1368
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 9: Manford credit saying, like with the players and a lot

1369
01:10:57,439 --> 01:10:59,639
Speaker 9: of other people, you know, I've complained about it enough

1370
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 9: that we have to have a discussion about it.

1371
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, Bernie, I don't think it needs

1372
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:03,759
Speaker 1: to be changed.

1373
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 2: You're not going to believe this one they've actually talked about,

1374
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 2: and I do not think they'll leverage of this to

1375
01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 2: borrow a concept from the coreus KBO League where the

1376
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 2: bye team would have an immediate one to zero advantage

1377
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 2: in the division series. So you advanced, now you only

1378
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 2: got to win two games, where the wildcard entry who

1379
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:25,600
Speaker 2: advances would have to win three games? Do you like

1380
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 2: that idea?

1381
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: And not at all? Hell to earn your victories? What

1382
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 1: are we doing here? What is this?

1383
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 2: I agree? I agree? Good good stuff, Devin.

1384
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 9: The only other scenario before we check out too, Bernie,

1385
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 9: I heard. I want to get your thoughts on this

1386
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,240
Speaker 9: is the fact that the wildcard round best of three

1387
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 9: you'd have games won in Game two be a scheduled doubleheader.

1388
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: What do you feel about that?

1389
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 9: And then game three Game three will be played the

1390
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:49,440
Speaker 9: next day if necessary.

1391
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 2: Well, that would reduce the layoff. But I'm just of

1392
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 2: the belief, regardless of any format, you go back one

1393
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 2: hundred years, the teams who win the most games don't

1394
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 2: win the World Series. So I don't want to change anything.

1395
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 2: I think the pro good stuff, Kevin the shay, you

1396
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 2: have anything on this? All right? Here's the deal. The

1397
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 2: problem with both the Smolts play and the KBO plan,

1398
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:14,639
Speaker 2: is is really going to count for the layoff, even

1399
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 2: though Smoltz's plan reduces it by one day in at

1400
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 2: least one of the leagues most likely, then again, the layoffs,

1401
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I don't know that we need

1402
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 2: a solution there. Okay, maybe you expand the playoffs even more.

1403
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. The format is designed right now to

1404
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 2: increase obviously opportunities for teams to get in the postseason.

1405
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 2: There are no easy answers I say this. You know,

1406
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 2: baseball is a simple game. Throw strikes, put in play,

1407
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 2: run the bases, catch the ball. The team that does

1408
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:51,640
Speaker 2: that best over three hours and twenty seven outs are

1409
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 2: teams who win. You know, we're talking about the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now,

1410
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 2: let's go back to two thousand and one. They were

1411
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:01,760
Speaker 2: prohibitive underdogs to the New York Yankees, lost a heartbreaker

1412
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,320
Speaker 2: in Game three, came back and won the series in seven.

1413
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 2: The World Series. I covered Detroit in two thousand and

1414
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 2: six against the Saint Louis Cardinals, who were eighty three

1415
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 2: and seventy nine that year. They beat the Tigers in

1416
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 2: five games, and there were people who thought the Tigers

1417
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,799
Speaker 2: were gonna sweep. I think Derek Jeters said it best.

1418
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:22,839
Speaker 2: The best teams get into the playoffs, the hottest teams

1419
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:26,799
Speaker 2: win and effectively, I actually think that's what we're seeing.

1420
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 2: We're seeing hot teams. Adolas Garcia did it again. Cory

1421
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 2: Seeger did it again. This is what these people do

1422
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 2: and that's the way it rolls. I think the World

1423
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 2: Series is gonna deliver. Your favorite team might not have

1424
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 2: been in, but you know what, you don't get to

1425
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 2: the World Series by accident. You've got to overcome a

1426
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 2: lot of hurdles. And I think these two teams absolutely

1427
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 2: deserve to be there. Speaking of a coach that I

1428
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 2: think deserves to be there in spite of the slings

1429
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,599
Speaker 2: and arrows he's taken in the last three years. Well,

1430
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 2: behind the scenes, as far as this individual being fired

1431
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 2: anytime soon in Paris, have thought he actually got an extension,

1432
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 2: and they happened in a very clandestine manner. I will

1433
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 2: share with you what took place this past week under

1434
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,320

1446
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:58,640
Speaker 2: Oh by the way, let me just squeeze this in.

1447
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 2: I'd be remiss. The NBA did start this week, and

1448
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,320
Speaker 2: we'll have Mark Medina on Saturday Night Bernie Fratles Show

1449
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 2: twelve midnight Pacific for Little Midnight Medina Magic and bringing

1450
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 2: up to date on the big storylines the first week

1451
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:16,799
Speaker 2: in the NBA. Here's an interesting note. There are currently

1452
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:20,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty five international players from forty countries

1453
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 2: that were on NBA rosters opening night, including at least

1454
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:30,639
Speaker 2: one international player on all thirty teams. If you don't

1455
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 2: believe the NBA has grown globally. Well, twenty five years

1456
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 2: ago there were only twenty nine total international players in

1457
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 2: the entire league. Now there are one hundred and twenty five.

1458
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 2: They've done a great job growing the NBA as an

1459
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 2: international sport. So last Sunday, Bill Belichick on the New

1460
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 2: England Patriots got their second win of the year. They're

1461
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,720
Speaker 2: two and five. Now, it's not a great year for

1462
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 2: the Pats. I get it. People are chirping at his heels.

1463
01:15:58,400 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 2: I don't know who could win with that talent on

1464
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 2: the field. He's lucky to are around five hundred. Who's

1465
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 2: not lucky, He's Bill Belichick. Okay, I can't believe the

1466
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 2: shade this guy's gotten. He's an all time defensive genius.

1467
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 2: Bill Parcells never won his Super Bowl without Bill Belichick

1468
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:16,719
Speaker 2: by his side. Well, what was also noteworthy with last

1469
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:19,640
Speaker 2: Sunday's when it was Bill Belichick's three hundred twin So

1470
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 2: he's now eighteen behind George Hallison, twenty eight behind Dom

1471
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 2: Jule and I'm rooting for him to get there. So

1472
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 2: what happened last Sunday when we were all sleeping, Bill

1473
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 2: Belichick agreed to a lucrative multi year contract extension and

1474
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:36,639
Speaker 2: during the offseason. I guess this was done, and it's

1475
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:40,480
Speaker 2: fair to say obviously, all the intrigue or all the uncertainty,

1476
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 2: well now he's locked up longer term, and it's so bad.

1477
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 2: AS's how New England does these things. I know Bill

1478
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 2: Belichick always hates the media. He's always said the media

1479
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 2: can't save me if I'm losing, and the media can't

1480
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 2: touch me if I'm winning. And I know their fan

1481
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 2: base is getting a little itchy, maybe outsiders wondering if

1482
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 2: Belichick's job would be in Pretty well, what this new

1483
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 2: contract does is let some steam off the kettle, all right,

1484
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:07,120
Speaker 2: this changes the conversation. I don't know the specifics of

1485
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:10,759
Speaker 2: the contract. I don't know if anybody does. But Robert Kraft,

1486
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:13,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure they just got quite a good buyout if

1487
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 2: he had to let Bill Belichick go. And I get it,

1488
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, you know, was really the obviously had a

1489
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 2: hell of a lot to do with six Super Bowl

1490
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 2: titles right in two decades. But the but Bill Belichick

1491
01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 2: is not Choppo Liver either. I mean, his defensees did

1492
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 2: a hell of a job. And it takes about four

1493
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 2: or five weeks for Bill Belichick teams to get going,

1494
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:38,600
Speaker 2: and they showed it against Buffalo last week, so I

1495
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 2: wouldn't write them off just yet. I realize that, you know,

1496
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 2: we hear stories about Bill O'Brien. He's not exactly letting

1497
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 2: it up as the offensive coordinator Jared Mayo. They're currently

1498
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 2: on New England's coaching staff. You better be careful. If

1499
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 2: you want to follow a legend, you better be very careful.

1500
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 2: And I'm I don't think Bill Belichick has forgot to

1501
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 2: coach now. Maybe they could draft a little better and

1502
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 2: get Mac Joins some weapons, but don't write this team

1503
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,160
Speaker 2: off yet. They've had a very tough schedule so far,

1504
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 2: and I really got a kick out of it. They

1505
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:13,200
Speaker 2: went from his Bill Bludger going to be fired, so

1506
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 2: now he's got a long term extension. Frankly, I was

1507
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 2: glad to see it happen. Coming up, we dive into

1508
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 2: the Michigan sign stealing scandal. Keep it locked. You listened

1516
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 2: I can't recall a story this big in terms of

1517
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 2: the breadth and depth and how it changes from day

1518
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 2: to day. But the bottom line is, right now, Michigan

1519
01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 2: is the biggest story in college football the University of

1520
01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 2: mechian And you would think, if you were looking into

1521
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 2: a crystal ball six months ago, maybe their dominance on

1522
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 2: the field would be the reason they're a big story.

1523
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 2: But there are allegations that perhaps the dominance on the

1524
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:17,679
Speaker 2: field it is directly related to how they got there,

1525
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 2: because the news broke about eight days ago that the

1526
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 2: NCAA is investigating Michigan for their off campus signal stealing

1527
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:29,599
Speaker 2: information blah blah blah blah blah, And it revolves around

1528
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 2: a staff member by the name of Connors Stallions. He's

1529
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 2: at the center of the probe. Apparently he pitched he

1530
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 2: purchased tickets to games involving other Big Ten teams at

1531
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 2: even Michigan's potential college football playoff. Opponents and sources say,

1532
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 2: and I say this in quotes. He had an elaborate

1533
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 2: system of scouting and science stealing. Now recently, Michigan has

1534
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:56,560
Speaker 2: suspended stallions with pay penning the outcome of the NCAA investigation.

1535
01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:00,720
Speaker 2: And for those who like to speculate, let's keep it

1536
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 2: real here. Do I think anything's gonna happen to Michigan

1537
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:08,919
Speaker 2: this year? No? No, I do not, for various reasons.

1538
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 2: First of all, there's the investigation is not done. The

1539
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 2: NCAA hasn't even interviewed the coaches yet. I know because

1540
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 2: I talked to people at Michigan today. And then what

1541
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 2: was short of it is there is a ninety day

1542
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:29,519
Speaker 2: notice of allegation, So when the investigation is complete, Michigan

1543
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:32,759
Speaker 2: has ninety days to respond. So let's say just for giggles,

1544
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:35,800
Speaker 2: and I don't think it will. I don't think the

1545
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:39,680
Speaker 2: investigation will conclude this. But let's say it's November fifteenth, Well,

1546
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 2: Michigan's got till February fifteenth to respond. And as far

1547
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:45,599
Speaker 2: as the Big ten, which they could jump anytime they want,

1548
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,679
Speaker 2: I'm told Tony Petiti's plate's pretty full, they're laying back

1549
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 2: at this time. All right, there have been lots of

1550
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 2: reports you really got to sar through what you believe,

1551
01:20:57,040 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 2: what you don't believe. I think some newspaper has been

1552
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 2: wrong about this. I'm not going to out them. But

1553
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:07,560
Speaker 2: what I think has been universally reported fairly well accurately

1554
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 2: is there are questions how elaborate was this scouting system? Okay?

1555
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 2: And I think people want to know what the NCAA

1556
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 2: and Big ten will ultimately do. I'm not sure what

1557
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 2: the Big ten will do. I think in twenty twenty four,

1558
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,760
Speaker 2: Michigan will take a slap. I just don't see this

1559
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 2: as being the federal case. Actually it is a federal case.

1560
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 2: The fbis get involved now. You know in the past

1561
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 2: where they take away scholarships, big deal with the nil

1562
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 2: on the transfer portal. Now that doesn't matter anymore. What

1563
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 2: are you going to vacate wins, suspend Harbaugh? I think

1564
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:45,280
Speaker 2: Harball will be in the NFL next year at this time.

1565
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:47,599
Speaker 2: That's the story for a different day, But I truly

1566
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 2: believe it. There are limitations. I really don't know what

1567
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 2: they'll do, but we're not to that point yet the investigation.

1568
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 2: By the way, the Big ten has the authority to

1569
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 2: act now, but they haven't yet. All Right, So what

1570
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:07,560
Speaker 2: details do we know. Let's just stick with that the

1571
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 2: basic stuff. Apparently that Stallions had purchased tickets to games

1572
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:19,639
Speaker 2: at twelve of the other thirteen Big ten schools, and

1573
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 2: I'm not sure which one was left out. There are

1574
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 2: also records, apparently verifiable records, of minunderstanding allegedly Stallion's buying

1575
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 2: tickets to the twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two

1576
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:36,639
Speaker 2: SEC title games. Right the tickets to the SEC title

1577
01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 2: games were purchased on the secondary market, and all in all,

1578
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 2: it's been reported that Stallions purchased tickets to more than

1579
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 2: thirty five games at seventeen stadiums around the country and

1580
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:51,719
Speaker 2: employed a network of at least three people who lived

1581
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:54,240
Speaker 2: in other parts of the country who were forwarded tickets

1582
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 2: to attend these games. I guess an investigative firm has

1583
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 2: been involved. I'm not sure what that all entails. And

1584
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 2: apparently this firm provided photographs to the NCAA of people

1585
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:08,719
Speaker 2: believed that were scouts working for mission, including some students

1586
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:11,680
Speaker 2: who were working as interns, you know, right on down

1587
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 2: the line, and these videos that the scouts allegedly took

1588
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 2: while ten of these games were uploaded to a computer drive,

1589
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 2: and then they were quote maintained and accessed by Stallions

1590
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 2: as well as multiple other Michigan assistants, according to this

1591
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 2: was according to the Washington Post. So all of a sudden,

1592
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 2: this kid, Connor Stallions has become somewhat of a household name.

1593
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 2: What do we know about him? Well, he graduated from

1594
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 2: the Naval Academy. He's twenty eight years old, diehard Michigan fan. Apparently,

1595
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:48,959
Speaker 2: he'd been around the Wolverines program for years and officially

1596
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 2: joined the staff a little over a year ago. He

1597
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 2: was hired as an off field analyst at Michigan in

1598
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,600
Speaker 2: May of twenty twenty two, according to a bio on

1599
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:06,640
Speaker 2: his LinkedIn account, which has since been deactivated. I'm not

1600
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 2: sure why would he deactivate his account. By the way,

1601
01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 2: On another note, if you don't believe the groundswell for

1602
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 2: Urban do Michigan State is huge. I've had multiple people

1603
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 2: reach out to me through LinkedIn boosters saying, hey, we're

1604
01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 2: telling the school if you hire Urban will increase our donations.

1605
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 2: It's amazing. So, as I said in my tweet October third,

1606
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 2: there's more support than you think, and the money people

1607
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:33,919
Speaker 2: want it. But back to Connor, Stein's in his LinkedIn account.

1608
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 2: I have not I certainly have not deleted my LinkedIn account.

1609
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 2: But while Stallions had his LinkedIn account, he bragged about

1610
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:48,719
Speaker 2: his great talent in quote identifying the opponent's most likely

1611
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:51,640
Speaker 2: courts of action and most dangerous courts of action, and

1612
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 2: identifying and exploiting critical vulnerabilities and centers of gravity and

1613
01:24:55,880 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 2: the opponents scouting process. Wow, that's how Big Dan word

1614
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 2: salad right there. And it's a long way winded way

1615
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:05,640
Speaker 2: of saying he's looking for your weakness and how he

1616
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 2: can exploit it. And by having, you know, it's almost

1617
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 2: like I guess having tomorrow's newspaper before you want to

1618
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:16,680
Speaker 2: bet on a game. Right, Maybe not that quite And

1619
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 2: we're not talking Twilight Zone stuff here. Winking a nod

1620
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 2: to Rod Serling, But apparently steians he's the son of

1621
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 2: Michigan parents that both went to Michigan. And while he

1622
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 2: was at the Naval Academy, you know, they got a

1623
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 2: decent football program there too. At Navy's why I respect

1624
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 2: it quite a bit. Apparently he was a student assistant

1625
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 2: for that program from twenty thirteen to twenty sixteen. Then

1626
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 2: he became a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps in

1627
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. Thank you for your service. He also worked

1628
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 2: as a grad assistant at Navy before he began his

1629
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:54,280
Speaker 2: military training again. This is according to his LinkedIn accomnple

1630
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 2: why he was stationed at Camp Pendleton in California, which

1631
01:25:57,439 --> 01:26:00,040
Speaker 2: is a Marine base in San Diego. That's when he

1632
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 2: started to serve, apparently as a volunteer assistant at Michigan,

1633
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 2: starting clearback in May twenty fifteen, which, if you're scoring

1634
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 2: at home, is seven months before Jim Harbaugh. Oh no,

1635
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 2: check that six months after he was hired. I apologized.

1636
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 2: Harball was hired in December twenty fourteen. But apparently, according

1637
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 2: to his LinkedIn page, he was an assistant, a volunteer

1638
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:26,040
Speaker 2: assistant coach at Michigan, a volunteer from May fifteen to

1639
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:30,560
Speaker 2: May twenty twenty two. All of a sudden, now this investigation,

1640
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 2: you peel back the onion and now they've found published

1641
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:40,520
Speaker 2: text messages that Stallion's exchange with other people. And apparently

1642
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 2: he's an author of this manifesto. I guess it's about

1643
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:50,160
Speaker 2: five hundred pages that he wrote as something he would

1644
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 2: consider his blueprint for the future of the Michigan program

1645
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:59,600
Speaker 2: and according to this report, he called it the Michigan Manifesto.

1646
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 2: He said, this is a movement more than a plan.

1647
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:05,600
Speaker 2: Gets a little creepy, all right, So let's get to

1648
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 2: the bottom line as far as now, where do things

1649
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:14,520
Speaker 2: stand with the NCAA investigation. After they received the information

1650
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 2: from this investigative firm, the NCAA Enforcement staff notified Michigan

1651
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 2: officials and the Big Ten back Ontober eighteenth about these allegations.

1652
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 2: Now we know there has been further investigation, and you

1653
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 2: know the NCAA's issued to notice of inquiry. There are

1654
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 2: four potential resolutions. I think it's pretty cut and dried.

1655
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:43,959
Speaker 2: You can have a negotiated resolution in which the enforcement

1656
01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 2: staff and the school, which would be Michigan, they agree

1657
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 2: on the facts of the case, the level of the violations,

1658
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 2: the classification of the violations, and what appropriate penalties might be. Now,

1659
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:59,639
Speaker 2: if Michigan and the NCAA want to get this done fast,

1660
01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:04,800
Speaker 2: this is the fastest track yet Yet I told you know,

1661
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:08,679
Speaker 2: the wheels of justice grind slowly. These types of events

1662
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:10,479
Speaker 2: still take an average of three hundred and sixty eight

1663
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:15,120
Speaker 2: days to complete. According to the Annual Report on Infractions

1664
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 2: at the NCAA, published week three years ago. The second

1665
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 2: potential resolution method a summary disposition. Now that's where the

1666
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 2: NCAA and the school they agree on the facts, but

1667
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:29,960
Speaker 2: not on the level of violations of the punishment. Then

1668
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 2: the parties would submit a report to the Committee on Infractions.

1669
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 2: They would reach a decision decide punishment. The parties can

1670
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 2: request an expedited hearing in the school and then can

1671
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:46,720
Speaker 2: appeal the COI's decision. That's the Committee on Infractions. The

1672
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 2: third resolution, this is a written record hearing. This occurs

1673
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 2: when say Michigan and the NCAA, they have limited disputes

1674
01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:58,040
Speaker 2: about the facts or level of violations, then all of

1675
01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:00,680
Speaker 2: a sudden, there're just a writ report that submitted to

1676
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 2: the Committee on Infractions. The Committee on Infractions focuses on

1677
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,519
Speaker 2: only on the areas that are disputed and the issue

1678
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:11,559
Speaker 2: of ruling. No hearing, no formal hearing, no just everything's

1679
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 2: done and writing. But then the fourth one, I got

1680
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:15,680
Speaker 2: a feeling it could be going to come into this

1681
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 2: a full hearing. This occurs in what are considered major cases,

1682
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 2: and I think you could have to consider this a

1683
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 2: major case, irrespective of were you weigh in what Colin

1684
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,679
Speaker 2: thinks this is no big dealer. Dion Sanders says, you know, well,

1685
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 2: you still got to stop him, even if you have

1686
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:35,880
Speaker 2: their own playbook. Is it presumed and assume this goes

1687
01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:38,840
Speaker 2: on elsewhere? Sure? Why not? Doesn't necessarily make it right?

1688
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 2: I don't know. This rule was changed in nineteen ninety four.

1689
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,600
Speaker 2: Before nineteen ninety four, you could fly scouts in and

1690
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:47,639
Speaker 2: they could scout advanced opponents in person. Stop the ninety

1691
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 2: four not so much necessarily because of what would have

1692
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:53,400
Speaker 2: been deemed the farious nature, but a level playing field.

1693
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:55,559
Speaker 2: There are some schools that can afford this and some

1694
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:57,760
Speaker 2: schools who can't, so they wanted to create a level

1695
01:29:57,760 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 2: playing field. Not everybody has a budget to fly people

1696
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,559
Speaker 2: on the country and put them up, et cetera, et cetera,

1697
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:05,479
Speaker 2: et cetera. All Right, The one thing I know for

1698
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:11,479
Speaker 2: sure is that the NCAA enforcement process always has been

1699
01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:15,879
Speaker 2: notoriously slow, even though they've they've created these governing bodies

1700
01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 2: and this commit committee on in fractions. They try to

1701
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:22,640
Speaker 2: they try to, you know, they try to speed up

1702
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:23,960
Speaker 2: the process the best they can.

1703
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 10: Right.

1704
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:31,280
Speaker 2: I told you about the notice of allegations, right, Well,

1705
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:35,800
Speaker 2: Michigan had that notice of allegations involving recruiting violations that

1706
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:39,759
Speaker 2: were allegedly committed during the COVID nineteen dead period. Well,

1707
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 2: that was issued to Michigan back on January fifth. Remember

1708
01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 2: the cheeseburger gate scandal. They still don't have a resolution. Technically,

1709
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:51,639
Speaker 2: you've got pushed to twenty twenty four. Remember Michigan their

1710
01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:54,040
Speaker 2: own self imposed three game suspension of our ball. That

1711
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:57,519
Speaker 2: wasn't from the NCAA, that was from Michigan. But according

1712
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:00,759
Speaker 2: to the NCA's most recent Annual and Friend Actions Report,

1713
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:04,759
Speaker 2: which they haven't done since twenty twenty two, the enforcement staff,

1714
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:06,840
Speaker 2: this is the reality. This is why if you think

1715
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:09,680
Speaker 2: I think Michigan's in the clear for the season, they

1716
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 2: can make it to the playoff and we'll see what

1717
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,599
Speaker 2: they do. I don't think anything's gonna happen. Although I'll

1718
01:31:13,600 --> 01:31:17,080
Speaker 2: give you one quick caveat, but the enforcement staff typically

1719
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,280
Speaker 2: spends an average of ten to twelve months on a case,

1720
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:23,120
Speaker 2: and then the infractions then spend it could be anywhere

1721
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 2: from a week to a couple months on it, so

1722
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 2: a contested hearing track, which is the longest process, believe

1723
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 2: it or not, in cases of this nature nine hundred days.

1724
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:39,280
Speaker 2: Not joking, Okay, so I would bet I don't bet

1725
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:41,880
Speaker 2: a finger on anything, but I'd bet a nickel that

1726
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:44,040
Speaker 2: more than likely this case is going to be fully

1727
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:48,639
Speaker 2: adjudicated to I'm gonna guess after March Madness in twenty

1728
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:51,599
Speaker 2: twenty four, take a recording of that. We'll see if

1729
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:53,880
Speaker 2: I'm right or wrong. I finally, could the Big ten

1730
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 2: step in before an NCAA ruling? Well, the answer is yes,

1731
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:02,479
Speaker 2: the Big Ten. But there and their new commissioner, Tony Pettiti,

1732
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:07,120
Speaker 2: they can impose discipline before the NCAA investigation even concludes,

1733
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:09,320
Speaker 2: which I don't think will be for a couple three

1734
01:32:09,320 --> 01:32:12,479
Speaker 2: more weeks, as long as they determine there's enough concrete

1735
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 2: information to act now. The Big Ten also could initiate

1736
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:18,719
Speaker 2: its own investigation, which they have not done yet, into

1737
01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 2: potential violations. There are things like sportsmanship policy, which states

1738
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:26,120
Speaker 2: quote the actions are offensive to the integrity of the

1739
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:31,120
Speaker 2: competition and punishable. Again, they have ANUE Commissioner, Tony Pettiti.

1740
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:35,479
Speaker 2: He has the exclusive authority exclusive to determine whether a

1741
01:32:35,520 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 2: sportsmanship violation has occurred, and he has the authority to

1742
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:46,280
Speaker 2: impose discipline now Petiti can propose serious penalties that would

1743
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:48,960
Speaker 2: have to go to an executive committee and that would

1744
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 2: be staffed by reps from other Big Ten schools, and

1745
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 2: then the committee would have to approve the discipline before

1746
01:32:56,520 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 2: it could be imposed. They could deny it, they could

1747
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:02,040
Speaker 2: lessen it, they can increase it. But this is all

1748
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 2: involving Big Ten stuff, And based on conversations I had today,

1749
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:09,800
Speaker 2: this is today, now, Saturday, October twenty eighth, my understanding

1750
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:12,679
Speaker 2: that Big Ten and Tony Pettiti have no current plans

1751
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:16,960
Speaker 2: to dive into this thing. That could change tomorrow, but

1752
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 2: as of today, right all the Big Ten has said,

1753
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:24,360
Speaker 2: we obviously have interest in the situation. We have to

1754
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:26,240
Speaker 2: get a full picture of the facts as we can.

1755
01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:30,200
Speaker 2: We'll be interested in the outcome of the NCAA's investigation.

1756
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 2: That would imply the Big Ten won't step in until

1757
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:35,960
Speaker 2: the NCAA has done investigating. And I told you they

1758
01:33:35,960 --> 01:33:39,720
Speaker 2: haven't even interviewed Michigan's coaching staff yet. All right, so

1759
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna wait. I think they're gonna wait.

1760
01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:44,919
Speaker 2: I don't think, But if if for some reason, Tony Pettiti,

1761
01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:47,759
Speaker 2: the new commissioner of the Big Ten, elects to initiate

1762
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 2: an investigation. Well, Michigan would still have their opportunity present

1763
01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:55,800
Speaker 2: their position. And if there is disciplayer, if there are

1764
01:33:55,920 --> 01:34:01,720
Speaker 2: disciplinary actions coming from the Big Ten, they cannot be appealed.

1765
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 2: This is very involving. Finally, one last thing people have asked,

1766
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:12,559
Speaker 2: could this affect Michigan's College football Playoff ranking? Not yet,

1767
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:13,960
Speaker 2: and I don't think it ever will be. By the

1768
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:17,240
Speaker 2: way the executive director Bill Hancock of the CFP, he's

1769
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:20,839
Speaker 2: told media, let's that as long as the team's eligible

1770
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:23,720
Speaker 2: to participate in the postseason, it's eligible to be ranked

1771
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:27,639
Speaker 2: by the committee. Okay, so unless the NCAA and Big

1772
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:31,920
Speaker 2: Ten levies of postseason ban than the Wolverines are out.

1773
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:35,160
Speaker 2: But that don't I just do not. It's not a zero.

1774
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:38,400
Speaker 2: I'll give it one percent. I don't. The UNCAA can't

1775
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:40,280
Speaker 2: act that fast. The Big Ten can, but I don't

1776
01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 2: know if they want to. I think they want to

1777
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 2: gather more information themselves. All right, you've heard my take.

1778
01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 2: In a minute, we call in the always thought for

1779
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 2: Kevin Figures. We'll have a little talk about this. We'll

1780
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,559
Speaker 2: start at thirty thousand feet and to send downward just

1781
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:59,160
Speaker 2: in the generality is the link schools will go to cheat.

1782
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:03,479
Speaker 2: How seriou so they feel about this? And I listened

1783
01:35:03,479 --> 01:35:06,720
Speaker 2: to radio and I heard one particular host say, why

1784
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 2: Friday didn't help them that much? It's the big deal?

1785
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 2: Well then why'd you do it for three years? Like

1786
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:15,000
Speaker 2: Sammy Silsa saying, well, steroids didn't help me hit home runs? Well,

1787
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:17,240
Speaker 2: then why did you take them? All Right, that's a

1788
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 2: specious argument. We're not done talking about this. We got

1789
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:24,080
Speaker 2: more to get to in terms of, you know what

1790
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:28,720
Speaker 2: coaches that other schools are saying, along with the generalities

1791
01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:30,879
Speaker 2: and the morality of this and whether or not maybe

1792
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:34,000
Speaker 2: it violates the essence of true sportsmanship. I'm Bernie Frattle.

1793
01:35:34,160 --> 01:35:36,679
Speaker 2: We're comany life from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio, tirerack

1794
01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:39,280
Speaker 2: dot com studios. Keep it locked Radio. You're listening to

1795
01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:41,880
Speaker 2: the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio. All right,

1796
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:44,280
Speaker 2: back on the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio, coming

1797
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 2: to your life from the tarret dot com studios. I

1798
01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:48,639
Speaker 2: want to give a quick shout out, by the way,

1799
01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:53,000
Speaker 2: the Sports fourteen forty in Edmonton, Alberta standing up late

1800
01:35:53,120 --> 01:35:55,720
Speaker 2: listening to the Bernie Frattle Show. Hey tweet at me

1801
01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 2: at Bernie Frattle. If you're listening, Great City Edmonton, Alberta

1802
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 2: Sports fourteen forty. Glad to have you all right, Kevin,

1803
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:06,280
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure we will begin here, So here's

1804
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:08,320
Speaker 2: where I'll dive in and you can take it where

1805
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:12,559
Speaker 2: you want. It's interesting because last May, coaches said this

1806
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 2: is the most talented team Michigan's ever had. They might

1807
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:17,920
Speaker 2: have twenty players drafted in the NFL. But some unnamed

1808
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:20,439
Speaker 2: coaches on the playoff committee said, quote, I think this

1809
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:22,880
Speaker 2: is totally against everything that is fair and ethical about

1810
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:26,880
Speaker 2: college football. This is not right. Where would you like

1811
01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:29,439
Speaker 2: to begin on this Michigan football sign stealing scandal.

1812
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 9: Well, I'd just like to begin just from the standpoint

1813
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:35,479
Speaker 9: that people who came into this situation saying like, oh,

1814
01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:38,599
Speaker 9: this is not uncommon. There's cod breakers, there's sign stealers

1815
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:39,919
Speaker 9: all over college football.

1816
01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:42,439
Speaker 1: This has been happening for years. It's not that big

1817
01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:42,960
Speaker 1: of a deal.

1818
01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 9: And initially, when the reports came out that this was happening,

1819
01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 9: I think you could have said that was true.

1820
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 1: When the more and more details.

1821
01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:52,160
Speaker 9: Come out and you find out that this guy is

1822
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 9: flying all over the country scouting out teams. Two and

1823
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 9: three weeks in advance, months in advance of teams that

1824
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:01,479
Speaker 9: Michigan is going to end up facing, putting himself or

1825
01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:04,120
Speaker 9: friends of his in the stand so they can videotape

1826
01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:07,880
Speaker 9: hands signals to give Michigan an unfair advantage. That's where

1827
01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:10,639
Speaker 9: I think the line was crossed, you know, That's where

1828
01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:12,200
Speaker 9: I think it's a bit of It's different than standing

1829
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:14,599
Speaker 9: on the sideline from say, if you're Michigan facing Penn

1830
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:17,680
Speaker 9: State in twenty nineteen, stealing signs and then using those

1831
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:20,799
Speaker 9: against them in twenty twenty. That's completely different than scouting

1832
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:23,840
Speaker 9: Penn State facing Indiana on November three, knowing you're going

1833
01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:26,400
Speaker 9: to face them on November twenty eighth. And I think

1834
01:37:26,439 --> 01:37:28,280
Speaker 9: that's the part of the story that kind of gets

1835
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:29,960
Speaker 9: covered up by a lot of people saying this happens

1836
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,559
Speaker 9: all the time. This doesn't happen all the time, And

1837
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:34,799
Speaker 9: the scope of this has just gotten wider and wider

1838
01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:37,600
Speaker 9: throughout the last couple of days, that this absolutely is

1839
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:38,160
Speaker 9: a big deal.

1840
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:43,320
Speaker 2: Well, I like to you use the word skull. So

1841
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,759
Speaker 2: what they have come to learn is that the coaches

1842
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 2: in the Big Ten are now speaking out anonymously and

1843
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 2: they say they've long suspected Michigan is stealing signs, and yeah,

1844
01:37:56,280 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 2: they acknowledge Michigan's probably not the only team doing so,

1845
01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 2: but Michigan's proficiency at doing it and the scope with

1846
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:06,519
Speaker 2: which they do it has really stood out. So if

1847
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:10,719
Speaker 2: you're part of the NCAA committee and they they seem

1848
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 2: to have evidence, now apparently, what do you do with

1849
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:17,320
Speaker 2: Michigan If you're IF, if you're IF, if you're king,

1850
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:19,799
Speaker 2: you know, if you're King of the NCAA, Kevin, Seriously,

1851
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:22,519
Speaker 2: you you've got the sword, what do you do with this?

1852
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:24,759
Speaker 1: Well, it's really difficult.

1853
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:26,800
Speaker 9: I mean right now, there's really not a whole lot

1854
01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:28,519
Speaker 9: you can do because you're still sort of in the

1855
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:31,759
Speaker 9: discovery process. And look, there's been so much here saying

1856
01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:34,719
Speaker 9: this assistant coach said this, and this anonymous coal breaker

1857
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 9: said that, let's.

1858
01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:37,679
Speaker 2: Say me fast forward to next spring or summer. Okay,

1859
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:41,320
Speaker 2: the investigation's done and the and the evidence has been verified.

1860
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 2: What do you do then?

1861
01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:46,760
Speaker 9: Well, the issue is, to your point, a lot of

1862
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:48,760
Speaker 9: the actor is in this issue. You know, in this

1863
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:52,400
Speaker 9: scenario could be gone by then. So whatever whatever punishment

1864
01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:56,320
Speaker 9: you do, lay down postseason bans, fines, whatever, it is.

1865
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:58,559
Speaker 1: Jim Harball is probably going to be long gone.

1866
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:01,120
Speaker 9: The players who buy are going to be victims in

1867
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 9: this whole situation anyway, because they don't have anything to

1868
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:04,760
Speaker 9: do with any of this other than the fact that

1869
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 9: they're just playing on the field. The players who are

1870
01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:09,680
Speaker 9: playing now and will be gone in two years are

1871
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:11,600
Speaker 9: not going to be affected by this. So as the

1872
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:14,200
Speaker 9: nc DOUBLEA, there's not really there's a lot that you

1873
01:39:14,280 --> 01:39:16,519
Speaker 9: can do, but unfortunately it's going to end up punishing

1874
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:18,679
Speaker 9: people that really had nothing to do with this situation.

1875
01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 1: And that's the unfortunate part that is so true.

1876
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:28,720
Speaker 2: That's where the fallacy in this whole situation, you know, resides.

1877
01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 2: SMU got the death penalty in the mid eighties. The

1878
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:34,280
Speaker 2: NCAU said they would never do that again. I don't

1879
01:39:34,320 --> 01:39:37,840
Speaker 2: think there would be a postseason ban. Your options are

1880
01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:40,600
Speaker 2: frankly limited. You can't take away scholarships. You can, but

1881
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:43,200
Speaker 2: what does it matter in this day of nil right?

1882
01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 2: You know, you can bring in a kid and pay

1883
01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:46,800
Speaker 2: him all the money and want, and he gets his

1884
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:53,479
Speaker 2: education paid for anyway. Kevin, to what's degree do you

1885
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:56,120
Speaker 2: think this is widespread as some people have said.

1886
01:39:57,200 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't to this degree, of widespread.

1887
01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:01,400
Speaker 9: I think I find hard to believe for them to

1888
01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:03,560
Speaker 9: have a staffer or a code breaker fly around the

1889
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:05,960
Speaker 9: country and do advanced scouting like this when it is

1890
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:09,479
Speaker 9: explicitly against the NCAA rules. And look, I know that

1891
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 9: most of the people involved in these college, big time

1892
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:15,719
Speaker 9: college football programs are not necessarily following the rules quote unquote,

1893
01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:19,720
Speaker 9: but this is pretty egregious, some gray area for a

1894
01:40:19,760 --> 01:40:22,719
Speaker 9: lot of these situations, sure, but for them to actually

1895
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:25,840
Speaker 9: hire a staffer to fly around the country and set

1896
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:27,880
Speaker 9: up in the stands to be able to film people,

1897
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:31,760
Speaker 9: I don't know if that's really you know, if that's

1898
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:34,400
Speaker 9: really widespread among the rest of college football teams.

1899
01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:36,599
Speaker 1: I don't think it's that widespread. I really don't.

1900
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:39,160
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a commitment, it is. I agree

1901
01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:44,559
Speaker 2: with you, all right, good stuff Kevin coming up, you know,

1902
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:48,720
Speaker 2: and JJ McCarthy, Dylan Gabriel, Michael Pennix junior, and Jordan Travis. Well,

1903
01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:51,840
Speaker 2: there's your heisman front runners. But if he asked me,

1904
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:56,639
Speaker 2: there's another guy that we haven't mentioned. I think he's

1905
01:40:57,200 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 2: the best player in the country. I get to that

1906
01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:01,719
Speaker 2: coming up, and firsts go back to our guy, Kevin

1907
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:03,200
Speaker 2: figures with the latest.

1908
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:05,600
Speaker 9: All right, and we'll start with the World Series, with

1909
01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 9: the Rangers snatching away Game one from Arizona on Friday night,

1910
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 9: Corey Seeger blasting a no doubt or into the bleachers

1911
01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:15,280
Speaker 9: off of Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald that tied the game

1912
01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:17,400
Speaker 9: at five in the bottom of the ninth and then

1913
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:19,599
Speaker 9: in the bottom of the eleventh inning of Dolis Garcia

1914
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:21,960
Speaker 9: went deep for his third hit of the night, sealing

1915
01:41:21,960 --> 01:41:25,160
Speaker 9: a six to five victory for Texas. Garcia's twenty two

1916
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 9: RBI the most in a single MLB postseason and the NBA.

1917
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:31,719
Speaker 9: Steph Curry scored forty one points to lead the Warriors

1918
01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:34,920
Speaker 9: over the Kings one twenty two to one, fourteen forty

1919
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:38,000
Speaker 9: nine points for Luka Doncik as Dallas defeated at Brooklyn.

1920
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:40,760
Speaker 9: Victor Winbanyama scored twenty one points for the Spurs and

1921
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:43,839
Speaker 9: a victory over Houston. Seven block shots for Chet Holmgren

1922
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:47,160
Speaker 9: as the Thunder notched a comeback victory in Cleveland. In

1923
01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:50,200
Speaker 9: the NFL, Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has officially been ruled

1924
01:41:50,200 --> 01:41:52,760
Speaker 9: out for their game against the Falcons. Both rookie Will

1925
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:55,200
Speaker 9: Levis and Milik Willis are expected to get snaps in

1926
01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:58,360
Speaker 9: his place, and forty nine Ers quarterback Brock Purty questionable

1927
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:00,680
Speaker 9: for their game against the Bengals. He has yet to

1928
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:03,720
Speaker 9: clear concussion protocol. Back to Bernie Friddle.

1929
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:09,439
Speaker 2: Great Jeff Kevin, good stuff, buddy. You know, sometimes all

1930
01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 2: you need is love. No, that's the Beatles song, Sometimes

1931
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:16,960
Speaker 2: all you need is a Marvin Harrison Junior. If you

1932
01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:20,519
Speaker 2: watched last Saturday showdown between Ohio State rank third and

1933
01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:23,720
Speaker 2: Penn State rank seventh, that was supposed to be the

1934
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 2: revealing blueprint for how the rest of twenty twenty three

1935
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:31,639
Speaker 2: might unfold. Is we marched toward our Made for TV

1936
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:35,160
Speaker 2: Final four Invitational. It's not a playoff, it's an invitational.

1937
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:40,479
Speaker 2: But a verdict was delivered. Okay, you can affirm the

1938
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:44,519
Speaker 2: fact that in short order, James Franklin can get you

1939
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:46,559
Speaker 2: to this point, but he can't get you past Ryan

1940
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:50,640
Speaker 2: Day strike a blow instead. The bigger takeaway for me

1941
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 2: is something we probably already knew. Marvin Harrison Junior might

1942
01:42:57,000 --> 01:43:00,559
Speaker 2: be the best player in the country. Ohio State got

1943
01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:04,559
Speaker 2: the dub Saturday. They beat Penn State twenty to twelve.

1944
01:43:05,160 --> 01:43:08,720
Speaker 2: It was a game that was kind of frustrating and

1945
01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:14,839
Speaker 2: ugly and physical and somewhat nondescript. But now the Buckeyes

1946
01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:17,040
Speaker 2: are seven to zero and they got two wins over

1947
01:43:17,080 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 2: what I considered the elite competition. If you beat Notre

1948
01:43:19,320 --> 01:43:23,120
Speaker 2: Dame on their home field, okay, that's saying something. And

1949
01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:26,240
Speaker 2: now you follow up with the win against Penn State.

1950
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:28,559
Speaker 2: Ohio State, by the way, is number one in the

1951
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:34,599
Speaker 2: country in strength of strength of record is what they

1952
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:38,960
Speaker 2: call it. Okay, And I know that the last couple

1953
01:43:38,960 --> 01:43:42,519
Speaker 2: of years, Ryan Dave's defense has taken their hits, and

1954
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:46,040
Speaker 2: they've taken their slings and arrows against Penn State, whose

1955
01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:49,880
Speaker 2: offense is maybe a little methodical and maybe questionable, they

1956
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:54,360
Speaker 2: were an immovable force. Okay, Ryan Day Lakhimer hate him

1957
01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:57,160
Speaker 2: as what, like you know, forty eight and two against

1958
01:43:57,200 --> 01:44:00,920
Speaker 2: big ten competition for crime out loud, he was. He

1959
01:44:00,960 --> 01:44:05,200
Speaker 2: had his team poised, he had his team ready to contend. Uh,

1960
01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 2: this was a big prize game, and they escaped the

1961
01:44:08,040 --> 01:44:11,080
Speaker 2: big rival. And now we look ahead to Michigan. But

1962
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:16,000
Speaker 2: we'll get to that later. Okay. I wouldn't necessarily say

1963
01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 2: it was a ringing endorsement of how Ohio States quarterback

1964
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:22,720
Speaker 2: obviously they've been spoiled by you know, Justin Fields and

1965
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:26,600
Speaker 2: Dwayne Haskins over the years, and Kyle McCourt was was

1966
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:32,040
Speaker 2: very inconsistent, and frankly, what the hell's happened to Ohio

1967
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:37,160
Speaker 2: State's running game. I realized they missed Travon Henderson. You

1968
01:44:37,200 --> 01:44:39,599
Speaker 2: don't have Trey Sermon anymore. But Ohio States always had

1969
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 2: a stable of running backs, but I didn't see it Saturday.

1970
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:47,320
Speaker 2: And their other wide receiver a makeup Buka Buka. Easy

1971
01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:49,640
Speaker 2: for me to say. He was sidelined. So all of

1972
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:54,120
Speaker 2: a sudden and what's typically been Ohio States calling card

1973
01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:57,360
Speaker 2: where you've got a treasure trove of weapons. They had

1974
01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 2: a limited supply of real weapons, but you had the

1975
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:06,479
Speaker 2: great equalizer Marvin Harrison, by the way, for scoring at home.

1976
01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:09,559
Speaker 2: Don't mean to interrupt you. Marvin Harrison had more receiving

1977
01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:12,280
Speaker 2: yards than the rest of the team combined, and more

1978
01:45:12,360 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 2: yards after the catch than Ohio's ground game. Ohio State's

1979
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:21,080
Speaker 2: ground game. Excuse me, So I think you can put

1980
01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 2: a big thank you on Marvin Harrison, which caused James

1981
01:45:25,320 --> 01:45:30,200
Speaker 2: Franklin to take the l against another blue blood. James

1982
01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:37,120
Speaker 2: Franklin can beat anybody not named Michigan or Ohio State

1983
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:39,000
Speaker 2: or any top ten opponent. He's owing ten on the

1984
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 2: road against top ten opponents. Now. But you know, give

1985
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:46,880
Speaker 2: Ohio State defense credit to because they completely shut down

1986
01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:50,120
Speaker 2: Penn State on third down. Right, But this was not

1987
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 2: a game about coaching or talent or scheme. The difference was,

1988
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:58,400
Speaker 2: Make no mistake, Ohio State had Marvin Harrison and Penn

1989
01:45:58,439 --> 01:46:02,679
Speaker 2: State did not. All Right, Lou Holts a month ago said,

1990
01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:06,200
Speaker 2: this is not the type of game Ohio State could win. Now,

1991
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:10,960
Speaker 2: what's interesting is this is how Ohio State wins. They

1992
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:15,719
Speaker 2: beat you with defense. The offenses, both on both sides

1993
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:20,439
Speaker 2: of the ball were not impressive. But you had Marvin Harrison.

1994
01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 2: All Right, If you watch Penn State, I mean, you

1995
01:46:25,360 --> 01:46:28,400
Speaker 2: gotta love the uniforms. You could turn on the TV.

1996
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:31,439
Speaker 2: He'd be nineteen seventy one and it's the same uniform. Well,

1997
01:46:31,479 --> 01:46:33,519
Speaker 2: this offense probably was worse now than it was in

1998
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy one. You know, back when they had Chuck

1999
01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:40,120
Speaker 2: Fusina or Todd blackledg whoever the hell they had those teams,

2000
01:46:40,160 --> 01:46:42,960
Speaker 2: at least throw the ball down field. I mean, this

2001
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:46,520
Speaker 2: team makes Sean Clifford look like an offensive you know, juggernaut.

2002
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 2: But again, they didn't have Marvin Harrison. He caught eleven balls.

2003
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:55,680
Speaker 2: Give it up to Penn State's run defense. It was

2004
01:46:55,720 --> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 2: like a brick wall. But Marvin Harrison had eleven catches.

2005
01:47:02,439 --> 01:47:06,479
Speaker 2: And that's despite everybody who was watching the game, including

2006
01:47:06,520 --> 01:47:10,519
Speaker 2: Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles knew that Marvin Harrison was

2007
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:12,280
Speaker 2: the only guy that was going to get the ball

2008
01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:14,479
Speaker 2: when it mattered most. He was the only guy in

2009
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:19,680
Speaker 2: the field that could affect this game and win it

2010
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:22,920
Speaker 2: for his team. Put the team on his back. Eleven

2011
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:28,000
Speaker 2: catches despite Penn State's defense checking him. They were pressing him,

2012
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:30,120
Speaker 2: they were bumping him, they were holding him, they were

2013
01:47:30,160 --> 01:47:33,439
Speaker 2: pushing him, they were stealing his lunch money, they were

2014
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:36,680
Speaker 2: doing everything they could, throwing the kitchen sink at him.

2015
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:42,080
Speaker 2: Eleven catches and all of them were important, and it

2016
01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:44,439
Speaker 2: was the potential twelfth that might have changed the game

2017
01:47:45,120 --> 01:47:48,760
Speaker 2: because Penn State was flagged for holding Marvin Harrison on

2018
01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:52,320
Speaker 2: a play that might have been a scoop and score

2019
01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:57,640
Speaker 2: for the lead. That is how impressive and how important

2020
01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:03,320
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior is. He might be the best player

2021
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:06,160
Speaker 2: in the country he's had Heisman moments and that's the

2022
01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:08,400
Speaker 2: only knock on JJ McCarthy, wh's done on tell of

2023
01:48:08,400 --> 01:48:11,960
Speaker 2: a job? What's this Heisman moment? They haven't playd Michigan.

2024
01:48:12,240 --> 01:48:16,439
Speaker 2: Michigan hasn't played anybody ranked all year. Ohio State's had

2025
01:48:16,439 --> 01:48:22,599
Speaker 2: two very impressive victories, all right, and when it mattered

2026
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:27,080
Speaker 2: most who do they turn to? Marvin Harrison Junior, who's

2027
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:31,280
Speaker 2: an absolute superstar, and it's it wasn't just this year,

2028
01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:34,519
Speaker 2: it was last year. So thanks to Marvin Harrison Junior,

2029
01:48:34,640 --> 01:48:36,880
Speaker 2: the season is once again gonna come down to the

2030
01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:40,799
Speaker 2: Michigan game. Well it always does, but this year probably

2031
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:43,840
Speaker 2: more than ever. And the truth of the matter is

2032
01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:50,439
Speaker 2: people are asking that Ohio State has to go into

2033
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:53,320
Speaker 2: Michigan this year. Are they capable of beating the Wolverines?

2034
01:48:54,360 --> 01:49:01,240
Speaker 2: And the answer is yes, Why because they have Marvin

2035
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:07,360
Speaker 2: Harrison Junior coming up. We wrap up the show and

2036
01:49:07,479 --> 01:49:10,719
Speaker 2: have some final thoughts as we are now just seven

2037
01:49:10,760 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 2: hours and twenty one minutes away from Week nine in

2038
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:17,120
Speaker 2: college football Saturday. I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're company live from

2039

01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:21,960

2041
01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:25,160
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Are wrapping it up on the Bernie

2042
01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:28,200
Speaker 2: Frattle Show. We are comedy live from the tarret dot

2043
01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:32,160
Speaker 2: Com studios here in Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio. Before

2044
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:35,240
Speaker 2: I go any further, I want to take my broadcast

2045
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:39,040
Speaker 2: team back in our Los Angeles compound. They've been with

2046
01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 2: me since eleven pm Pacific time on Saturday night. That is,

2047
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:49,320
Speaker 2: of course, Kevin figures on the updates and his good

2048
01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:54,840
Speaker 2: commentary regarding Michigan's scandal and the baseball playoffs. Maybe it's

2049
01:49:54,880 --> 01:49:58,799
Speaker 2: not a scandal, but it's certainly an investigation. Mark Ramsey,

2050
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:03,360
Speaker 2: our technical producer, and Shay Movenguarde turning all the dials

2051
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:05,759
Speaker 2: guys keeping us glued together, and of course Shay presiding

2052
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:10,560
Speaker 2: over the contest, Bernie's Trivia Contest. He'll crunch all the

2053
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:12,479
Speaker 2: numbers and have the standings out this week and we'll

2054
01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:14,960
Speaker 2: crown the new champion. Shay, you'll get a hold of

2055
01:50:14,960 --> 01:50:17,400
Speaker 2: the winner and we'll figure out how to get them

2056
01:50:17,439 --> 01:50:21,840
Speaker 2: taken care of and we'll see who was able to prevail.

2057
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 2: You know, we're now getting to the point in the

2058
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:30,920
Speaker 2: college playoff season. Check that the college football season where

2059
01:50:30,960 --> 01:50:34,720
Speaker 2: you can start to speculate on playoff projections, etc. And

2060
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 2: they got these wonderful things like the All State Playoff predictor,

2061
01:50:40,640 --> 01:50:43,519
Speaker 2: and now earlier this season. This is why you can't

2062
01:50:43,520 --> 01:50:46,679
Speaker 2: really draw any conclusions even now, because earlier this season

2063
01:50:46,720 --> 01:50:49,760
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve looked like a conference sure to land

2064
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:52,280
Speaker 2: at least one team, maybe even more than one team.

2065
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:56,280
Speaker 2: Not so fast, my friend. What's interesting is early in

2066
01:50:56,280 --> 01:51:00,400
Speaker 2: the year people weren't so sold on Georgia. Peting is

2067
01:51:00,479 --> 01:51:02,960
Speaker 2: national Championships for a three peat, and now they lose

2068
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:05,120
Speaker 2: their tight end. Brock Bowers, I'm not buying it, but

2069
01:51:05,200 --> 01:51:07,120
Speaker 2: I think Georgie is going to be a very, very

2070
01:51:07,160 --> 01:51:09,920
Speaker 2: tough out And the only reason team's doing three peat

2071
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:12,240
Speaker 2: is because the last time was done in the thirties

2072
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:14,840
Speaker 2: of Minnesota. Look, you got it. It used to be

2073
01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:17,519
Speaker 2: done by vote. Now it's kind of sort of it's

2074
01:51:17,640 --> 01:51:20,719
Speaker 2: I say, kind of sort of decided on the field

2075
01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:24,599
Speaker 2: because again they made for TV Invitational tournament committee will

2076
01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:27,879
Speaker 2: select four teams. But if you look, this is what's interesting.

2077
01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:32,519
Speaker 2: One of the things NIL and the Transfer Portal has

2078
01:51:32,680 --> 01:51:36,639
Speaker 2: done is to create parody at the top. You've got

2079
01:51:36,720 --> 01:51:41,720
Speaker 2: multiple undefeated teams. Ohio State Oklahoma, Florida State, Georgia, and Washington.

2080
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:45,160
Speaker 2: With all due respect, I get it, James Madison and

2081
01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:47,680
Speaker 2: Air Force are undefeated too, but probably not going to

2082
01:51:47,720 --> 01:51:53,479
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Likely those undefeated teams are in the very

2083
01:51:53,560 --> 01:51:57,800
Speaker 2: much in the driver's seat. But what if, you know,

2084
01:51:58,240 --> 01:52:01,959
Speaker 2: Ohio step beats Michigan. They got a loss. Now Bama's

2085
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:04,120
Speaker 2: got a loss. But what if they end up playing

2086
01:52:04,160 --> 01:52:07,040
Speaker 2: Georgia in the SEC Championship game and beat him. Texas

2087
01:52:07,080 --> 01:52:09,320
Speaker 2: is six and one, but it feels like we're headed

2088
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:15,480
Speaker 2: towards another showdown with Oklahoma in the Big twelve championship game. Technically,

2089
01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:17,360
Speaker 2: you can't count out Penn State. They're gonna have to

2090
01:52:17,439 --> 01:52:20,320
Speaker 2: run the table and by the way, beat Michigan, but

2091
01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:23,000
Speaker 2: they get him at home on November eleventh. You can't

2092
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,280
Speaker 2: count out Oregon either. They're six and one, they've already

2093
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:27,360
Speaker 2: lost to Washington, but those two could hook up again

2094
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:30,519
Speaker 2: in the Pack World Championship game. So you have got

2095
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 2: literally ten teams that have a shot at the final four.

2096
01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:39,439
Speaker 2: And according to the Ohio State or checked at the

2097
01:52:39,439 --> 01:52:43,840
Speaker 2: All State forty your slip playoff predictor, Ohio State has

2098
01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:47,559
Speaker 2: a seventy four percent chance to make the playoff, followed

2099
01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:50,160
Speaker 2: by Oklahoma and sixty three percent, Florida State at fifty

2100
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:53,160
Speaker 2: nine percent, in Michigan at forty six percent. That in

2101
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:55,040
Speaker 2: fifty cents to gets you a cup of coffee at

2102
01:52:55,080 --> 01:53:00,400
Speaker 2: Carls Junior. It's got to play out, right. But the

2103
01:53:00,439 --> 01:53:04,679
Speaker 2: buck Eyes, based on strength the record after defeating Penn State,

2104
01:53:04,840 --> 01:53:08,720
Speaker 2: have their rank number one down strength the record. And

2105
01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:15,760
Speaker 2: what's interesting is some of these statistics I find interesting.

2106
01:53:16,400 --> 01:53:19,599
Speaker 2: I'll say interesting. And why do I say that? Because

2107
01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:25,040
Speaker 2: according to ESPN Analytics, when you compile strength to record,

2108
01:53:25,080 --> 01:53:28,559
Speaker 2: what they do is they take what would be considered

2109
01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:32,920
Speaker 2: an average college football playoff contender, and they analyze your

2110
01:53:32,960 --> 01:53:38,760
Speaker 2: schedule and they say, well, what would so and so

2111
01:53:38,920 --> 01:53:41,679
Speaker 2: schools chance? And I'm talking about a playoff contender, Now,

2112
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:47,639
Speaker 2: what would their chance? What would be their percentage chance

2113
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:50,479
Speaker 2: of going seven or zero against the schedule. The buck

2114
01:53:50,479 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 2: Eyes have already played and they put it a ten percent.

2115
01:53:53,720 --> 01:53:58,479
Speaker 2: Whereas Michigan, who's played not a single ranked team. And

2116
01:53:58,680 --> 01:54:00,879
Speaker 2: I'm not going to come up with some clever adjective.

2117
01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:03,960
Speaker 2: You know, darn well their schedule, you know, I think

2118
01:54:03,960 --> 01:54:06,679
Speaker 2: they beat Harvey Thorps School of trucking and our sisters

2119
01:54:06,720 --> 01:54:09,840
Speaker 2: run controllable flatulence. Those are their two toughest games, and

2120
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:11,559
Speaker 2: they you know, they beat them by margins, so give

2121
01:54:11,600 --> 01:54:14,920
Speaker 2: them credit. But according to this strength to record metric,

2122
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:18,200
Speaker 2: your average college playoff team but have a fifty percent

2123
01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:21,479
Speaker 2: chance of going undefeated against that schedule, whereas Ohio State,

2124
01:54:21,600 --> 01:54:25,559
Speaker 2: Florida State, Oklahoma played much tougher schedules. They're in the

2125
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:30,280
Speaker 2: single digits, not much tougher to win. And by the way,

2126
01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:32,360
Speaker 2: you really can't count out the one loss team. You

2127
01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:36,880
Speaker 2: got Oregon, right, they got to keep winning, right, Alabama

2128
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:39,240
Speaker 2: is a one loss team. They're very much still alive

2129
01:54:39,280 --> 01:54:41,480
Speaker 2: in the college football playoff picture. They got a Week

2130
01:54:41,600 --> 01:54:44,320
Speaker 2: nine by but you know they're still going to have

2131
01:54:44,400 --> 01:54:48,080
Speaker 2: to beat some tough SEC teams and that's a gauntlet

2132
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:51,760
Speaker 2: and I'll have to probably it's gonna run through Georgia again. Right, Oregon,

2133
01:54:52,720 --> 01:54:55,880
Speaker 2: If a lose at Utah, that would effectively eliminate the

2134
01:54:55,960 --> 01:54:59,000
Speaker 2: Ducks from the football equation. A win keeps him in

2135
01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:02,320
Speaker 2: the game. Basic you go to Salt Lake City to

2136
01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 2: play one of the best defenses, that's a very valuable

2137
01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:07,520
Speaker 2: opportunity to make a statement. And by the way statement

2138
01:55:07,560 --> 01:55:10,160
Speaker 2: for Bodex too. If he's gonna be a Heisman Trophy candidate,

2139
01:55:10,440 --> 01:55:13,600
Speaker 2: which should be the case, but you're gonna have to

2140
01:55:13,640 --> 01:55:15,840
Speaker 2: do it. This is a very tough place to win.

2141
01:55:16,480 --> 01:55:18,640
Speaker 2: This is not a lock for Oregon in any way,

2142
01:55:18,880 --> 01:55:21,800
Speaker 2: although they are going up against Utah's backup quarterback, but

2143
01:55:21,840 --> 01:55:25,840
Speaker 2: Bryceon Barnes has acquitted himself quite well. Urban Meyer already

2144
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:27,800
Speaker 2: said Kyle Whittingham's the best coach in the country. So

2145
01:55:27,880 --> 01:55:29,600
Speaker 2: there you have it. By the way, Oregon still has

2146
01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:33,000
Speaker 2: usc and Oregon State on the schedule. USC I wouldn't

2147
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:36,720
Speaker 2: be too worried about frankly, but Oregon State, well, that

2148
01:55:36,840 --> 01:55:39,320
Speaker 2: civil war is never easy, you know, darn well, and

2149
01:55:39,400 --> 01:55:45,280
Speaker 2: Oregon State's got a pretty good defense. Utah, look, will

2150
01:55:45,320 --> 01:55:47,480
Speaker 2: they get Cam Rising back. He was ruled out for

2151
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:50,680
Speaker 2: the season last week, so that's not gonna happen. They

2152
01:55:50,800 --> 01:55:52,720
Speaker 2: made quite a statement without him, and even though they're

2153
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:56,000
Speaker 2: a one loss team, it's very hard to envision Utah

2154
01:55:56,080 --> 01:55:58,960
Speaker 2: sneaking in as a one loss team, despite the fact

2155
01:55:58,960 --> 01:56:01,839
Speaker 2: they have a tremendous defense. They ranked twelfth best twelfth

2156
01:56:01,840 --> 01:56:04,280
Speaker 2: in the nation in defense, and they're getting a lot

2157
01:56:04,280 --> 01:56:07,120
Speaker 2: out of their backup quarterback price In Barnes. Texas is

2158
01:56:07,160 --> 01:56:09,400
Speaker 2: a wild card. They're loaded on both sides of the ball.

2159
01:56:09,640 --> 01:56:11,560
Speaker 2: But as soon as I start to sing their praises,

2160
01:56:11,720 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 2: I don't know why I do it. I fall for

2161
01:56:13,360 --> 01:56:16,040
Speaker 2: the Steve Sarkisian thing. I never did before, but I

2162
01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:20,040
Speaker 2: did this one time. He faces his alma mater BYU,

2163
01:56:20,160 --> 01:56:22,760
Speaker 2: and of course Texas is going to play with their

2164
01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:26,880
Speaker 2: backup quarterback making his first cold start. Quinn Ewers, you know,

2165
01:56:26,960 --> 01:56:29,200
Speaker 2: hurt his shoulder against Houston last week and Texas had

2166
01:56:29,240 --> 01:56:33,160
Speaker 2: to escape in that game. Texas is a twenty point favorite. Okay,

2167
01:56:33,080 --> 01:56:37,280
Speaker 2: they'll be under the spotlight a little bit. Interestingly enough,

2168
01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:39,800
Speaker 2: BYU's got a pretty good record against Texas, but I

2169
01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:42,920
Speaker 2: feel like Texas gets it done. Penn State another one

2170
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:46,240
Speaker 2: loss team. I'm sure they're eager to make up for

2171
01:56:46,280 --> 01:56:48,600
Speaker 2: what happened last week versus Ohio State. They're nine to

2172
01:56:48,640 --> 01:56:52,160
Speaker 2: zero against unranked teams in the last two years. But

2173
01:56:52,480 --> 01:56:56,240
Speaker 2: Penn State fails to convert on fifteen third down attempts

2174
01:56:56,320 --> 01:56:58,880
Speaker 2: last season or last week against Ohio State, they go

2175
01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:03,160
Speaker 2: one for sixteen. It's not a playoff team. Okay, Florida State,

2176
01:57:03,280 --> 01:57:06,320
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to continuing to watch. I think they're

2177
01:57:06,840 --> 01:57:10,600
Speaker 2: a playoff team. We'll see if Kyle McCord can come

2178
01:57:10,600 --> 01:57:12,640
Speaker 2: out of a show a little bit against Wisconsin. He

2179
01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:16,880
Speaker 2: was very inconsistent last week. But these other conferences, you know,

2180
01:57:17,320 --> 01:57:20,520
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve, the Big Ten, the Pac twelve, the SEC.

2181
01:57:20,640 --> 01:57:24,440
Speaker 2: The question is where the hell is the football playoff

2182
01:57:24,480 --> 01:57:26,360
Speaker 2: four team are? Where they're gonna come from? I oh,

2183
01:57:26,400 --> 01:57:29,760
Speaker 2: by the way, one last thing, LSU's Jayden Daniels. He's

2184
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:32,160
Speaker 2: now near the forefront of the Heisman Trophy. But you

2185
01:57:32,200 --> 01:57:35,040
Speaker 2: heard what I said earlier. I still think Marvin Harrison

2186
01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:38,600
Speaker 2: Junior is the best player in the nation. A non

2187
01:57:38,640 --> 01:57:41,560
Speaker 2: descript Week nine in college football, but they all count.

2188
01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:43,920
Speaker 2: We've got six undefeated teams going. We'll see if one

2189
01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:46,800
Speaker 2: gets knocked off their perch. It's gonna do it for

2190
01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:49,160
Speaker 2: the Bernie Fratle Show back on these airwaves Saturday night

2191
01:57:49,160 --> 01:57:51,120
Speaker 2: at eleven PM. In the meantime, keep it locked up

2192
01:57:51,160 --> 01:57:54,760
Speaker 2: next Anthony Gargano and Jason Fitz Fox Sports Radio.
