Speaker 1: you listen to podcasts, and of course share with a friend,

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: so we have new ratings for all you people who

20
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: um who rate our podcast. We appreciate it, and most

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: of all, we love talking about our ratings because they

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: are fun and you guys are always interesting and leave

23
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: the best once so continue to do so. I say,

24
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: leave a five star rating. Ralph always says, just just

25
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: give us whatever you feel we deserve. We have a

26
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: silly amount of of non one star because usually if

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: you hate the podcast, you leave a one star review.

28
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: There's no reason for it to be anything other than

29
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: one or five. We have like a good Probably one

30
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: third of our reviews are something other than one or five,

31
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's my fault. It should be

32
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: so so we have to two new ratings. Do you

33
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: have them pulled up? Ralph? I do, okay, go on,

34
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: I'll let I'll let you do it because this is

35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: your this is your part, alright. A friend of Hank says,

36
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: great podcast if you want to relax and laugh and

37
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: hear news about the pack twelve. I have wanted to

38
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: write a positive review ever since I gave the podcast

39
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: a poor review in the summer due to sound quality.

40
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: I regretted leaving a negative review after hearing that George

41
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: wasn't actually doing different a podcast instead, he just had

42
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: some technical problems. I look forward to listening to this

43
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: podcast and usually save it for listening on the weekend.

44
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: I enjoy the inside info about the Pack twelve and

45
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: their views are always entertaining. Plus, George is a kind

46
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: man who offered to buy my third grade students books

47
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: from Scholastic Books once we get back to school. In person,

48
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: this it was like, sounds like I didn't even see

49
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: that part of it. No no, no no, no, no no no,

50
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: so so what so what so? What happened is is

51
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: she listened to my rights to a wrong podcast and

52
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: um and friends and friend of Hank was a is

53
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: A is a teacher. And remember I was talking about

54
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: because I think I talked to you about it too,

55
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: where I was talking about how the Scholastic book fair

56
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: like that was like the best thing, but then the

57
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 1: worst thing was not ever having any money to buy anything.

58
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: And so so she wrote me an email, and this

59
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: was months ago, asking about, you know, if she was

60
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: doing the wrong thing. I think, I think, yeah, what

61
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: what was doing the wrong thing as a teacher by

62
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: encouraging this because kids may not have money? And what

63
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: she actually like shaming them and making them feel bad?

64
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: And so I said, and so I told you. I

65
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: used to for sure steal from those as a poor kid. Yeah,

66
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: So I would jersey, I would wear jersey shorts, and

67
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: I would put books around my waist like they were

68
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: bricks of drugs. So so what I told her is

69
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: is that I would buy the kids some some books

70
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: because I wanted to make sure that kids that they

71
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: have something something to read, like it hapning to do.

72
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: I didn't know that that this was the podcast that

73
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: she was listening to. I thought it was the other podcast.

74
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, so that's how that came about. So, no,

75
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: it was not a bribe. I was gonna say, there's

76
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: enough information in this review to make me think that

77
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: it was an honest review. And then the little thing

78
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: in there at the end, I'm like, oh am, I

79
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: are we committing a crime here? What's happening? Um? Yeah,

80
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna take issue with I just admitted tip theft.

81
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: This is from this second reviews from John's nine charl

82
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: and the title is food cost three exclamation points. This

83
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: is gonna be bad for you for sure. Well hold up,

84
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: tell him, tell him what this is in relationship too,

85
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: because Chip Kelly is trying to re enact Brewsters millions

86
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: by spending five point four million dollars on food every

87
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: single year. UM, okay, here's our view. I really enjoy

88
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: the show. Ralph is the best in explaining things. But

89
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: George is completely wrong about food costs. I am a

90
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: cook in the U. S. Navy on submarines. We get

91
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: less than eleven dollars a day to feed one people.

92
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: We use prime rib for everything that is ground beef.

93
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: It is all about balance. Keep up the good work.

94
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: And I don't. I don't. You're gonna have to help

95
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: me with this last sense. Ralph needs to do his

96
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: late night ride explanations several exclamation points. Oh wait, because

97
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: you were talking about how you how you take drives

98
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: all all over the place, and I guess he assumed

99
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: that it was at late late night. I guess. Oh no,

100
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: I just live far I live, I live in I

101
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: live like pretty much. You could consider me part of

102
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: California's inland Empire, even though I live five hundred miles

103
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: from it. I live in a little suburb island twenty

104
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: miles south of Phoenix, surrounded by Indian reservations. So no

105
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: matter what I do, I have to drive a lot

106
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: and I like it. Um hopefully, that's what they're talking about.

107
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was another another thing, but

108
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: beat them bricks that you move in buddy, Yeah, by

109
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: box car children. Uh. I wish it would have been

110
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: a better story if I turned around and sold them,

111
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: but I just I just read them. Uh So this

112
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: part though, that says we get less than eleven dollars

113
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: a day to feed people. Is that per person? Yes,

114
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: that's per person. Dude, that's not eleven What do you

115
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: what do you think they are like that? That that

116
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: they're Jesus that they're feeding people off of fish and

117
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: five loads of bread. Well, we are the pectel Apostles,

118
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: I believe any if we forget that part. So that's

119
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: what it says, though, we get less than eleven dollars

120
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: a day to feed a hundred twenty people. That's not

121
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: eleven total dollars. There's no way that's eleven total dollars.

122
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: They you can't feed a level on prime rib? What

123
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: do you what are you making? Like you you can't

124
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: even make enough spaghetti. But it says we use prime

125
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: rib for everything that is ground beef. So when it's

126
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: saying they substitute prime rib for ground beef, no, no,

127
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: that then up that they grind it up, so they

128
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: if you're having Sloppy Joe's that's prime rib in the

129
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: Sloppy Joes. Correct, that's what he's saying. That sounds that

130
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: I now, I'm curious. I want to try it. I

131
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: want to I'm rip Sloppy Joe. Book us up, send

132
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: us one of the mail from your from your submarine.

133
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: That's like my told me the other day he wanted

134
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: to drive around the world. I was like, uh, I

135
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: was like, you're nine, son, I need you to do better.

136
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: All right, man? Well those were to five star reviews.

137
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: I forgot to mention. So that brings us up to

138
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: forty two overall ratings. And I believe that at least

139
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: thirty of them are are five stars. And and we

140
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: do have some people that change ratings every once in

141
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: a while. And yeah, if if if you want to

142
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,120

148
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: who was new to the Pack twelve office because last week,

149
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: out of all the games that were supposed to be play,

150
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: Utah Arizona was not played and Cal Washington was not played.

151
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: But Martin Hanks, who got off the phone with John Wilner,

152
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: had this to say, quote, as of right now, we're

153
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: on track to play all six games. Ralph Archer excited,

154

156
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: Pacific time. I know you're excited about that news, Ralph. Uh.

157
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: It made me feel like a bad person for being

158
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: mad at Merton Hanks to being mad at the most

159
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: fun loving, you know, just the football player that had

160
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: probably brought me the absolute most joy as a as

161
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: a child, seeing him dancing out on on the field,

162
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: and now he's just another suit And I'm furious at

163
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: him for multiple reasons. For one, the fact that he

164
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: even exists as a buffer between Larry Scott and John

165
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: Wilner and John Kanzano. I think his name was Michael

166
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: Scott h right, But like the fact that Merton Hanks

167
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: exists as a buffer between John Kanzano and Larry Scott

168
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: is infuriating to me because John Kanzano is I mean

169
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: he there's no difference between I mean, there's a difference

170
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: between John Kanzano and us as far as what John

171
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: Kanzano does and produces, But there's no difference between John

172
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: Kanzano and us as far as want Larry Scott out

173
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: of that job. He actively promotes the idea of Larry

174
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: Scott being fired. One, Why doesn't Larry Scott have the

175
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: stones to be able to go on John Kanzano show

176
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: himself and too? Why if you know that John Kanzano

177
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: has set out to see your rain come to an end,

178
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: why even entertain him? Why send Merton Hanks out there

179
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: to talk to him? So I already I already have

180
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of an issue with Merton Hanks even

181
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: being a buffer and us having to suspend our our

182
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: disbelief to have to witness conversation between the two of

183
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: them and pretend that like one side doesn't want the

184
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: other one, you know, wholesale torn apart. Like if Larry

185
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: Scott came on this show, I all we would be

186
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: talking about is, hey, why do you still have this job?

187
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: If Murton Hanks came on this show, I'd probably be

188
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: in the same position of having you trying to talk

189
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: me down, of saying, hey, why don't you go, you know,

190
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: push that guy out a window, or like metaphorical right,

191
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: like why Martin Merton, please help us help us here?

192
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: Like and so I already I resent the idea of

193
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: having to look at Merton Hanks, who brought me so

194
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: much joy as a football player, is just another suit,

195
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: just another cog in this machine. And now we have this,

196
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: this quote, and it's the first time I've ever taken

197
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: exception with something Mrton Hanks has said, with him saying

198
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: that we're on track to have all six games this weekend.

199
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: Because we're not on track means that if nothing changes,

200
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: then every game will get played. But George, if nothing changes,

201
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: what's going to happen? Cal is not going to be playing.

202
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: If nothing changes, then we're not on track. We're not

203
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: on the track. We're off the track hoping to get

204
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: on track. It's just uh and and I and then

205
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: here I am freaking out on the podcast with you

206
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: after ten months of waiting to even have football in

207
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: the first place, thinking that I would just feel better

208
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: once we finally got football, But instead it's like the

209
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: first date that you get after you hit puberty, you

210
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: figure like, oh, I finally got a date, but like, no,

211
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: now I'm just thinking about girls even more like the

212
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: fact that we finally had football. Now, I'm just obsessed

213
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: with the idea of, like, all right, how do we

214
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: make sure that we even keep any little bit of

215
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: the football that we're getting. California is making it impossible.

216
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: The back twelve rules that are in place or are

217
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: are making it impossible. We had Utah surprise Arizona and

218
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: no show, um on on that whole game, um and

219
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: and call in Washington, which was you know, to me

220
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: really outside of U. S c. As you the premier

221
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: game of last week that doesn't get played. Then you

222
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: have Jimmy Lake come out and say the only reason

223
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: this happened is because they're in Berkeley. It wouldn't have

224
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: happened if they were in Seattle. And it's just like

225
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: it makes you go back to all the times that

226
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: you and I said as loudly as we possibly could,

227
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: don't half asked this season because you could lose it,

228
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: and losing it would be the only thing more painful

229
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: than not having it. And I feel like we're on

230
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: the verge of losing it and for Merton Hanks to

231
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: not be able to admit that is. I just I

232
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: hate people pretending that things are okay when they're not.

233
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: They're not okay right now? Yeah here okay? So here

234
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: is the other part of that is this is that

235
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: CAL is supposedly that CAL believes that the players in quarantine.

236
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: This is coming from Wilner, that players in quarantine should

237
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: not be considered close context per the mitigation steps that

238
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: were put in place, uh, that were put in place

239
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: based on state and local guidelines. So they've actually been

240
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: putting in CAL is put in more stringent uh, like

241
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: they've had all their position meetings outside, they've been doing

242
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: some virtual stuff doing even more so the way they

243
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to shut down. But the city hasn't even

244
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: come in to come look. So supposedly they are in

245
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: contact with the city and they're supposed to uh, they're

246
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: hoping that they were rule that the players are not

247
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: close contacts of the other person because they have continuously

248
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: tested negative. And yeah, so I guess we're we're on track, Ralph.

249
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: So CAL CAL feels like it's gonna happen, but there

250
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: there's no indication whatsoever that it will that's like saying

251
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: you feel like you won an election by negative fo

252
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: a million votes, but there's no evidence that you won

253
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: an election by negative four million votes. Univers the count,

254
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: stop the stop, the test, stop the count. Berkeley is

255
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: gonna hate this, but Berkeley is being very Trumpian right now. Well, okay,

256
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: So the other thing that we've learned, though, is that

257
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: Cal may actually be in the market to move because

258
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: we have already seen New Mexico, who state wouldn't let

259
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: them play, they moved to Nevada and and now they're

260
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: playing football. Cal may have to because remember Stanford moved

261
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: out of San Mateo County in the beginning of the

262
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: season because they couldn't practice, and now Cal, who's doing

263
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: virtual learning for school, may move to Nevada. To are

264
00:15:53,520 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: you in on that? Yeah, I mean it's but then

265
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: we all have to publicly agree how absurd that is.

266
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: And the fact that this is something that has to

267
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: happen in season speaks to the same issues that we

268
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: had leading up to whether or not we were going

269
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: to have a season, which is the Pack twelves inability

270
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: to communicate with the state of California in any meaningful way,

271
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: and it would be excusable if the PAC twelve offices

272
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: weren't in northern effing California. H what are they doing?

273
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: Why are there surprises? The only surprise should be surprised

274
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: somebody tested positive. Therefore we now have to deal with

275
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: the fallout from that. It shouldn't be Oh, I wasn't

276
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: prepared for the effects that local policy was going to

277
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: have on my program. There's absolutely no excuse for not

278
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: being prepared in that manner, for not having open communication

279
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: between the Pact twelve and the state of California. As

280
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: it stands right now, the only reason that we had

281
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: week one games, as you stated, in week eleven or

282
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: twelve of what should be the normal college football season,

283
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: is because of the USC football players calling out Gavin

284
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: Newsom and Gavin Newsom trying to save face saying this

285
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: is how this has nothing to do with me. Where

286
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: twelve at on this? Well, well, part I think you

287
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: hit the nail on on the head is that they

288
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: did not completely that they weren't UM completely proactive in

289
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: dealing with and dealing with the state. They should have

290
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: already been into UM in communication with the state, saying okay,

291
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: if we do X, Y and Z can we play.

292
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: How about if we do here, like, how can we

293
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: make this work that way? If we do have a

294
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: positive test, we don't get shut down that we have

295
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: a plan in place, and the schools and the teams

296
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: would have had a plan in place. So but okay,

297
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: what's Jimmy lakes motivation, George, what's Jimmy Lakes motivation in

298
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: in comparing and contrasting local law? I didn't. Okay, So

299
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: when you're talking about when he said that the game

300
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: would have taken place if it were in Washington, I mean,

301
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean, but but but that's the thing. The game

302
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 1: could not have taken place if it were in Washington

303
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: because the players were in the state of California, so

304
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: they weren't allowed to leave. So that's I'm sorry. They're

305
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: from the city of Berkeley, so they weren't allowed to leave.

306
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: So that's the issue. They still would have had the

307
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: issue even if they moved the game to Seattle. So

308
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I interpreted it as if the issue was

309
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: with the University of Washington, they would not have had

310
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: the local incumbrance is that cow had, so like University

311
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: of Washington still would have been able to field a

312
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: football team and make the game happen even if it

313
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: was played at cow like that. That was my interpretation.

314
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, but yeah, but that would have been

315
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: the That would have been the thing though. I mean,

316
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: he is right in that in that that it still

317
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: would have been played if it were played in Washington,

318
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: if it were Washington, if it were the Washington School,

319
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: they would have still been able to play. He's right

320
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: about that. But why why bringing up is it? I

321
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: don't want to be super overly cynical here, but is

322
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: that taken a shot at an opponent? Just to take

323
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: a shot at an opponent, It's obviously got to be

324
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: out of some level of frustrate because it costs his

325
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: kids the opposite. See, I'm going to err on the

326
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: side of that was Jimmy Lake's motivation, and he was

327
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: just a little bit frustrated that he didn't get a

328
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: chance to play. He was frustrated with the bureaucracy that

329
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: caused the issue, because not only was Jimmy Lake upset,

330
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: but Justin Wilcox was upset as well, because he's like,

331
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: we only have one positive test. We've done more mitigation

332
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: steps than everybody else, than than what you have even

333
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: required us to do, so why are you now not

334
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: allowing us to play? So I think that man just

335
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: should be furious. I'm stuck here trying to figure out

336
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: what the point of patting yourself on the back for

337
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: the QUIDL tests were. If it wasn't gonna matter if

338
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: you could have rapid response testing, so what so like

339
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: that's from the thing though, the statement that the state level,

340
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: because because if if if the okay, so if Jimmy

341
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: like is saying that about Washington, then they gotta get

342
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: Calton hell out of California and they should have done

343
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: it yesterday. The statement at the end of what the

344
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: pactrol put out when this is before the Utah game

345
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: was canceled, they put out that statement and in it

346
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: and it was very much in Larry Scott's voice, it

347
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: said that like the cancelation of this, that are testing

348
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: is working. And I wanted to throw my computer against

349
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: the wall because you can't pat yourself on the back

350
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: for delaying the season and then pat yourself on the

351
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: back for restarting the season, and then pat yourself on

352
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: the back for getting testing procedures in place, and then

353
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: pat yourself on the back for those testing procedures costing

354
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: you a game. You gotta start at some point. All

355
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: of the paths on the back are just gonna leave

356
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: your back sword. I am an agreement with with that.

357
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: So the idea that the frequency of the tests was

358
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: supp those too, that the daily antigen testing was supposed

359
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: to ensure that you didn't have an outbreak, which is

360
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: which he's right about that there has not been an outbreak. Well,

361
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of an outbreak in Utah, but

362
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: for the most part it's just been isolated cases on

363
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: teams and they've been able to uh to make sure

364
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: that that doesn't spread, which is a big deal. But

365
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: but you are right, if that's the point of it,

366
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: why can't you then play if you isolated? Which I which?

367
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: Which is confusing to me. But alas we were not

368
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: able to play two games last week, and as so

369
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: you had Washington and Cal not play like we talked

370
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: about in Arizona and Utah not play, and we heard

371
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: Cal Whittingham's interest and comments about he said that for that.

372
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: This week at practice they have um third stringers taken

373
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: first string reps and walk ons in the depth chart,

374
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: which does not bode well for this week's matchup against

375
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: you said, actually they maybe those third stringers and you

376
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: and um and what what walk Ons would still provide. Uh,

377
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: they would probably still score thirty points against U C.

378
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: L A's defense. As long as as long as you

379
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: can get a third stringer to stand in the passing

380
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: lane and he can catch, there's a chance dtr is

381
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: gonna throw them the ball. So maybe maybe you don't

382
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: need a first stringer to be able to follow those

383
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: types of instructions. Oh so, so, I mean, that's that's

384
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: deep though. So if you were because I've been reading

385
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: other boards, some of the message boards, and you've had

386
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 1: like Alabama people questioning L s U who they're supposed

387
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 1: to play this week. They're saying, oh, their quarterback, my

388
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: Miles Brandan is hurt, but we found out today that

389
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be out for the season. Their game got

390
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: pushed back and this week and they're they're like L

391
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: s U was still above the fifty three. They just

392
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: didn't want to play because they don't want to get

393
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: blown out. And you're having people accused people of that,

394
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: which I knew was going to happen. So if you're

395
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: a team, would you rather feel the non competitive team

396
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: and get and get housed, or would you rather cancel

397
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: the game get housed? Absolutely? I mean I don't this

398
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: is gonna become a thing between you and I. Isn't

399
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: it where it's our our personalities are factoring in here.

400
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: But because I talked to you and I said, why

401
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: can't call just throw a couple of backup offensive linemen

402
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: or spare linebackers out there on the defensive line and

403
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: then just go try to outscore a su with their

404
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: offense because their defense is going to be an absolute mess.

405
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: And and you you had talked about maybe that would

406
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: throw them below the threshold and other positions or or

407
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: or or it could get some people hurt. I don't know,

408
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: but I I would rather play than not right, I mean,

409
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: I would rather find some way to get on get

410
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: on the field, because it's about game tape for trying

411
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: to get some of these kids to the to the

412
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: next level. It becomes about getting what you can. You're

413
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: still going to get that the the end of season

414
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: distribution check from the television rights. And we all know

415
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: that the decisions that have been made by everybody involved

416
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: have been about money. Um, But if it's about safety,

417
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: which it is laughable because if things really are about safety,

418
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: then we'd see a lot of things different about the

419
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: way we've gone about anything, especially this fall. Um. I

420
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I think I would put a team

421
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: out there and get wrecked just to put a team

422
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: out there just to say this is who we are,

423
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: we play. I I agree with that. I think that

424
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: that is the optimal thing to do. I do. I

425
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: think that because the whole reason anybody is playing is

426
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 1: for the money. So get your money. If you can

427
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 1: still play without getting people hurt, Like, it's different if

428
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: you if you can move back up officive linem into

429
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: the defensive line and you still play, but you can't

430
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: then move defensive lineman to the officive line, and that

431
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: just doesn't work. So so let's let's let's try on

432
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: some different shoes. Let's same scenario. Let's try on some

433
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: different shoes. I'm gonna tell you who you are in

434
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: the scenario, and you tell me whether or not it's

435
00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 1: advantageous for you in that scenario to a team out

436
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: there that's not full strength, that is definitely going to

437
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: be at a massive, massive detriment. Let's say that you're

438
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: a coach like Clay Hilton, who was coaching for his job.

439
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: Is it better for you to not play or for

440
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: you to do what you can to not play? Okay,

441
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: let's say that you are a marginal able but draft

442
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: eligible quarterback and you you actually do get to go.

443
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: So like like, let's say that you're your D t R. Right,

444
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: like this his last year at U c l A. Right,

445
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: you gotta know this. No, no, no, he's a junior now, Okay, Um,

446
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: so if there's a senior quote, I think everybody's super

447
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: young this year. So Utah's quarterback, right, the one that

448
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: was from from Jake Bentley. So let's let's say that

449
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: you're Jake Bentley and you're gonna roll into u c

450
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: l A with a skeleton squad, But at least you'd

451
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to show what you can do with

452
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: that skeleton squad. We saw Josh Allen go in the

453
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: first round despite not really having a bunch of talent

454
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: around him. Is it better or worse for you to

455
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: play in that scenario? Uh? If if my offensive line

456
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: is fine, then I'm going out there to go play.

457
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: If I'm a quarterback, I mean, if if I'm a

458
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: marginal quarterback. Then yeah, I need to get some film.

459
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you don't want to look

460
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: bad either, like and and not having a full strength team,

461
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: it's just bad. Like I get why teams want to play,

462
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: and it's actually better for you know, a team like USC. Two, Well,

463
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: it's better for the conference to where if if you know,

464
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: Arizona States not at full strength, but they still put

465
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: a team out there to get housed. That's still good

466
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: for the conference because now you've given USC another game

467
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: or Oregon another game where they can potentially make a

468
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: college football playoff, which is good for the conference. That's

469
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: more money, more prestige, everything. So I think that that

470
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: that's a real thing that you can't minimize that scenario. Three,

471
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: You are George Rice stir early two thousand's. Your team

472
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: is absolutely decimated, but you're the startight end. You know

473
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna leave after your junior year. Do you

474
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: roll out there with a squad that's gonna get wrecked

475
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: by thirty knowing that it's probably not gonna look that

476
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,479
Speaker 1: good for you? Where Where am I projected to go

477
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: in the draft right right now, I'm talking, I am

478
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: talking in the in the actual situation that you were

479
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: in at the time, because you had people telling you

480
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: you could go first or second round, and then you

481
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: had you you had people accused you of hanging out

482
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: with the wrong crowd. That made you drop a little bit.

483
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: But in that situation of people telling you that you're

484
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: going to be first or second round, you We've seen

485
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: people from the actual University of Oregon the this year

486
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: who are going to be drafted high turned down the

487
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to play and run out there with what they

488
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: thought a skeleton crew. What would you do in that situation, Oh,

489
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: I would have I would have under the current circumstances,

490
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: with my situation, I would have played until I would

491
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: have played just to get some game film down. But

492
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: if then we ended up in a situation like okay,

493
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: like Florida State is in right right now, they're losing,

494
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: they've played six games, COVID's flaring up. I'd be out.

495
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: Then I would put some good I will put some

496
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: good tape down, and then I would say, holiday of player.

497
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: When you see him in the streets, I'll be back,

498
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I will wave and ship

499
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: shake hands when we get back. But that's the best

500
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: I got for you at that point in the point

501
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: in time the difference. But for you, it is the

502
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: difference between going out there for week one and having

503
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: already put six games on tape. Correct. For um, I

504
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: have one thing for you. I have one for you

505
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: because you're a father of uh potential. Okay, so you're

506
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: the father of a prospect. Let's say that this was

507
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: to happen for years from now and he's running third

508
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: string as a true freshman wherever he decides to go,

509
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: and the clear out puts him in a position with

510
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: a skeleton crew that you know is going to take

511
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: a massive, massive l in that situation. As his father,

512
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: he comes to you and says, what do I do here? Dad?

513
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: What do you say to him? Mm hmmm. I would

514
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: tell him to I would feel comfortable with him playing

515
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: under the daily antigen testing like is going on in

516
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: the pack Pack twelve. I mean I don't want him started.

517
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's the stream quarterback, I don't want

518
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: him starting if I feel like that that he's not

519
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: good enough yet, because that can only ruin your confidence.

520
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: All of that. I wanted him starting when he's gonna

521
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: have a chance to start, You know what, I'm saying right,

522
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: and when in this scenario, he'd probably running out there

523
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: with last year's Jaden Daniels offensive line. I mean, Jaden Jaden.

524
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels survived, he survived and thrived. But I mean

525
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: if he's good enough to start and didn't survive that

526
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: Utah game, but he survived. Yeah, hey man, hey, they

527
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: gave him, gave him more character. Um. But Cal though, Okay,

528
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: So if CAL does have to cancel this week, doesn't

529
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 1: that put their season in jeopardy though? Because because they

530
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: would only be they would only have four more games

531
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: plus plus the potential one on December nineteen. Yeah, that

532
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: puts their season in jeopardy. I mean you could have

533
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: players being like, yeah, Will, Will would just wait till

534
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: next fall, right. I don't think you're gonna like this.

535
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: I watched the games last week, and I'm gonna say something.

536
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: Not one of these pack twelve teams belongs in any

537
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: conversation for any type of national anything. Okay, So that's

538
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: that's thing one, that's just the truth. What do you

539
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: think Texas A and M in Florida? Do I think

540
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: Florida would work? Hold on, let's just let let me,

541
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: let me make both points and then I'll I'll let

542
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: your find one after watching what I watched. No, none

543
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: of these teams are ready for that, even in even

544
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: in this weird year, None of these teams are ready

545
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: for that. That being said, the best thing to do

546
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: for these kids in the Pack twelve would be to

547
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: take the possibility for that off of the table, because

548
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be there anyway, and allow them to extend

549
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: the end of the season. If you take the college

550
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: Football Playoff off the table for the Pack twelve, then

551
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: you can extend the season and make sure that they

552
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: actually get some games in. Okay. Well that okay, well

553
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: that actually moves The idea about the cold college Football

554
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: Playoff being moved back just in general, right is there

555
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: have been people saying, oh, they should so the last

556
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: weekend is the that Saturday, the nineteen, the committee is

557
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: supposed to decide the twentie. People are saying, well, why

558
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: don't they move it back of uh, you know, to

559
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: three weeks? And I said, they can't move it back

560
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: any more than one week at the act at the

561
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: absolute most, if they can move it back at all,

562
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: because that would require moving the semifinal games and all

563
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: of that, and that presents a problem, but but the

564
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: cities will figure out how to work it out. All

565
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: of all of that, the issue is if you move

566
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: it back any further, the elite talent off of those teams,

567
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: off of I mean, because I'm pretty sure that we

568
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: all believe that Ohio State is gonna be in it,

569
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,879
Speaker 1: Alabama's gonna be in it, and Clemson is probably going

570
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: to be in it, especially if they beat Notre Dame

571
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: in the a c C Championship, that they'll be in it.

572
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: That that you have those three teams in it, that's

573
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: a bunch of first round NFL draft picks. And if

574
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: you keep pushing it back, same thing, what will happen

575
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: for potential first rounders in the past pact Well, even

576
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: though the majority of them have already opted out already,

577
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: you would have you're you're gonna be pushing up on

578
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: the NFL combine because then you're gonna be mid late

579
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: January finishing up. And the problem with that is is

580
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: that players need time after the season is over with

581
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: to heal up and then train to get ready to

582
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: go get that money at the combine. The NFL needs

583
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: to accommodate. The NFL needs to accommodate this. And I

584
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: think that all of those of the NFL's handing out

585
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: the checks bro they don't have to accommodate. Everybody else

586
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: has to accommodate them. The NFL needs to do what

587
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: the NBA did by not allowing high schoolers to come in,

588
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: and the NFL needs to protect itself from itself. This

589
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: is why this. Of course, the NFL is not gonna

590
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: do anything without incentive. But you're not getting enough of

591
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: a sample size to protect these general managers and give

592
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: them enough data with which to make the decision on

593
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: how they're going to build their team. You need more

594
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: of a sample size, You need more competition, you need

595
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: more film. Therefore, you need to move the combine to

596
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: give n C double A the flexibility to push things

597
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: if they can. And I think that if you do that,

598
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: some of these players will stick around because they will

599
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: know that the was extra two or three games on

600
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 1: tape might mean the difference between two or three hundred

601
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: thousand dollars or even more than that in their bank account.

602
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: And yeah, you're right, the NFL is never gonna do

603
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: anything unless it's in their best interest. But when the

604
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: when the NBA said high schoolers can't come to NBA anymore.

605
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: That was for them, that was because they kept screwing up.

606
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: This will be the worst NFL draft ever when it

607
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: comes to talent evaluation unless they give the n c

608
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 1: double a more room to let the kids play more games.

609
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: I do believe that. I also believe that that's not

610
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I mean, it's yeah, it's just not. The

611
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: NFL stays on its schedule. It may potentially move the

612
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: combine back a couple of weeks, but it's not it'll

613
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: be because that's the best thing for the NFL. It

614
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: won't be because that's the best thing for anybody else.

615
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: It'll be because the NFL some kind of way can't

616
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,479
Speaker 1: make it work. That'll be the or. Yeah, that will

617
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: literally be the only reason why it gets moved. Um

618
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: So onto the games from last week. So I totally

619
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: disagree with you about the pack twelve teams not being

620
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: able to make the College Football Playoff because I do

621
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: think that there are Okay, so there are four fan

622
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 1: bases who actually believe that they can make it USC

623
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:40,959
Speaker 1: which which we'll talk about Oregon, Washington, and Cal. Those

624
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: are the four fan bases that think that their team

625
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: has a shot. We haven't seen Washington. Based on the

626
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: hope that is created by not having any data yet,

627
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: I would say after watching USC player, well, okay, so

628
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: calin Washington, we don't have any data yet watching USC play.

629
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 1: I hate USC running the air raidar offense. I've talked

630
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: about it. It's a gimmick offense for teams that don't

631
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: have the same talent that USC normally has. That's the

632
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: first thing. The second thing is is with Oregon. I

633
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 1: thought that Oregon breaking in a new offensive line. They

634
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: didn't play well in the first half. They were young

635
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: in some spots on the defense, but then they got

636
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: the defense figured out in the second half that their

637
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: game looked more like me. I mean looked to me

638
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: more like what I saw from Florida in their first games,

639
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: Alabama in the first games, like what I what I

640
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: saw from other teams earlier in the season. Because because

641
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: remember they've already played, you know, six games, Clemson has

642
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: played eight games, they almost lost, I mean like they

643
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: were in some nail biers already. So I think that

644
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: we are being more critical. I would say, you are

645
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: being more critical of the Pact twelve because we're seeing

646
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 1: those teams now play better football because they are, you know,

647
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: six weeks into a season. I mean, look at look

648
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: at Penn State, look at Michigan, look at you know,

649
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: like all these other conferences. The conversation either they're terrible. Yeah,

650
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: but okay, just look at the standings you you have.

651
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you on it's possible. It's certain, it's

652
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: more than possible. The opening has never been bigger for

653
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve to actually get get a team in.

654
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't doubt that if Oregon or USC,

655
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: especially one of those two teams is able to play

656
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: a complete season in which they don't lose and I'm

657
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: not gonna bence settled happen um, that they would get in.

658
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that this year more than any

659
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: other one. Once they are there, I do not believe

660
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: that they will be competitive. Okay, So what what was

661
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: your takeaway from the USC Your your three biggest takeaways

662
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: from the A s U USC game. Well, let's just

663
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: let's just we We both got to say it because

664
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: I think we both feel that way. Bad luck, right,

665
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: sometimes you just have bad luck, And I think that,

666
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: first of all, shout out to the fifty five zero

667
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: followers that I have lost on Twitter since tweeting that

668
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: a SU would go undefeated, which I'm pretty sure I

669
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: sent out in the early third quarter. But if people

670
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: have listened to any podcast or re read anything that

671
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: I've written over the last five months, it wasn't a

672
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: new thing. I didn't jinks a s U. I reinforced

673
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: the thing I've been saying constantly and ended up being

674
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: very wrong about. Um. But my my number one takeaway

675
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: is that sometimes you just have garbage luck. Uh my

676
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: number two take away, and I'm gonna let I'm I'm

677
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,479
Speaker 1: gonna leave that one for you actually because you said

678
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: it and you're the one that put it in my head.

679
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 1: UM a team speed issue. UM, But I will say

680
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: that uh Arizona States defense is exactly as good as

681
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: I thought they would be in the back seven and

682
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: that the front four are actually a lot better than

683
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: I thought they'd be and a s U S defense

684
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: is fantastic. I will, I'll put that out there is

685
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: my number two takeaway, my number three takeaway, and I'm

686
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: hoping that you and I had three phone conversations throughout

687
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: the week following last week's podcast, in which I have

688
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: tried to get you to give me credit for calling

689
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: my shot on the on the Drake London thing and

690
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: saying A. S U has absolutely no answer for him.

691
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: Uh And and he did have a really really good game.

692
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that this will finally be the day that

693
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: you give me some some credit on that. So the A.

694
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: S Use opposite line is still terrible, It's it's not

695
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: as bad. It's not as bad as you were saying.

696
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: They had some correct they had some trouble on the edge,

697
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 1: and that could just be the fact that one of

698
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: the two best defensive linemen in the entire pack twelve

699
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: happens to be Uh. In Scarlet and Gold. We will

700
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: arrest of the old line played okay, we will see

701
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: if that's the case versus Arizona this week with USC, so,

702
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: my biggest takeaways from the game were, I hate USC

703
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: running the array. They still have trouble running the football,

704
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 1: which was clear until that last drive. I didn't think

705
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: that as you had bad luck. I thought that well

706
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: that well, that was the first takeaway. Second takeaway was

707
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: that U s c S team, their team defensive speed

708
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: is not good. They are they are slow as a

709
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: team on defense. And the third thing, and my third

710
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: takeaway was on the Arizona State side. I thought Jade

711
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: Daniels was pretty good. Um. I thought there their skill

712
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: position players that they are, that they appear to be

713
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: very talented, like Bunkley Shelton, the kid White though that

714
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: one of the two running backs. I thought that the

715
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: running backs played really well. Um. Obviously Johnny Wilson struggled.

716
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 1: You know, he looked like a guy who should be

717
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: red shirty in his first in his first game, he

718
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 1: looked like a guy who was overwhelmed, overmatched out there.

719
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,200
Speaker 1: Not to say he won't be a good player, but

720
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: sometimes kids do need the red shirt. I mean it's

721
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: tough for a big six six guy. I mean, or

722
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: is he six seven or is he six nine? Have

723
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: the announcers he changing that around, weren't they? Yeah? I

724
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: like blocking. I thought I thought he was an asset

725
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 1: any time that he was blocking. And I thought that,

726
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't it's not a thought, it's not

727
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: an opinion. He was an incredible liability anytime the ball

728
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: came his way. Yeah. So so I think that that's

729
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: that that's where a s us trouble is is that

730
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,720
Speaker 1: they don't have the playmakers on the outside in terms

731
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: of experience yet. And it didn't help that Frank Darby

732
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: went down immediately, not that he didn't drop a pass

733
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: on the second play of the game on a slant,

734
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: which that you know, that doesn't help people think that

735
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: he's going to become the complete receiver. Um. That that

736
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: everybody thinks. Those those running backs were great. A s

737
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: U run blocked well. Jane and Daniels rushed for over

738
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: a hundred yards their receivers when they weren't dropping passes.

739
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: We're doing an okay job blocking. I agree with you

740
00:45:55,800 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: on USC's defensive speed, although I think Isaiah pol him

741
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: out is going to be a superstar, and I would

742
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: not be surprised if he declares because he I mean,

743
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: you're not gonna look much better than he's looked over

744
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: probably his last six or seven games. Um. And I

745
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: have to say that, obviously the onside kick thing was

746
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: an issue. I was very weirded out by USC deciding

747
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: to have a sustained drive in which they ran the

748
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: ball UM while they were down by late in the

749
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I was like, this is when you change

750
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: it up. Obviously it worked out in their favor Keith

751
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: and Slovis still that dude when he needed to be.

752
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know if a SU loses that game,

753
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: if it was not a nine am kickoff because they

754
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: were losing a bunch of people, I don't, I don't.

755
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: Why are you kidding me? Are you? USC had to

756
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: play at the exact same time, and actually it was

757
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: ten o'clock for a s U. It was not a SU.

758
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: Is the one who lost the hour? Su It was

759
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 1: talking about it. Yeah, it was ten o'clock in Arizona.

760
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 1: They were playing in California, so you lost even another

761
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: hour if you're a SU. I'm saying. Here's what I'm saying, George.

762
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: If you play at nine in the morning and you're

763
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: up for breakfast at four, it's not the same as

764
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 1: being able to hydrate all the way throughout the day

765
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: to get that seven pm, eight thirty pm kickoff. It's

766
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: not the same. Jack Jones was the best player on

767
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: the field outside of punt returns. Hydration starts the day before.

768
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: Hydration starts at least two days before the game. That

769
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: means that Arizona State was unprepared. It was hotter in

770
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: Arizona than it was in californ California. I I know

771
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: that there's a level of that. You go that, um

772
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: when you're in games. Yes, you're gonna burn up more calories,

773
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: burn up more, energy, expend more, possibly a cramping up more.

774
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: But I am not given Arizona State any quarters for

775
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: losing that game. If Jack Jones was on the field

776
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: instead of Key one Markham for that last pass, he

777
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been guarding him. He wouldn't have been been

778
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: guarding Drake Drake London. I don't know, dude. I think

779
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: it was just a fantastic catch and and and truthfully,

780
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: Arizona State lost the game when they weren't aggressive enough

781
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: on their last two two series and you know, and

782
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: and fortune favors the bold and college football. Um, all right,

783
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: let's move on. Do you you walk away from that game?

784
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: Because this game went exactly the way that you said

785
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: it would. It went exactly the way that you said

786
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: it would. Would you say that you were despite going

787
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: exactly the way that you said it would go, You

788
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: walked away encouraged by Arizona State and discouraged by USC.

789
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: How is that even possible? No? No, no, Well, I

790
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: walked away saying that the future looks bright for Arizona

791
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: State if they can get their officers line together, that

792
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: the future as in not and then you got to

793
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: find a new quarterback after that so that the future

794
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: does look brighter. But for USC, I was like, yeah,

795
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't encouraged. It felt like same old U s

796
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: USC that the only reason why they won, literally is

797
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 1: because Arizona State ran out of talent. That that's it.

798
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:34,240
Speaker 1: That's the only reason why they won. That's it. Their

799
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: their star guys. Their guy made a catch that got

800
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 1: knocked out of his hand and then he caught it

801
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: again on a perfect pass like that's it, and they

802
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: messed up on an onside kick. That's why they lost.

803
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:51,959
Speaker 1: Because because USC had quit until the ball ricocheted off

804
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: of um somebody's helmet and then brew McCoy caught it.

805
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: They were toast. They had given up until that mirrorle

806
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: will happened. Then they got the onside kick. Bro. It

807
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: was just, you know, it was just a case of

808
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: Arizona State didn't close out the game. That was it. Um,

809
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: All right, what was your take on the Washington State

810
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 1: Oregon State game? Because Rollo Bitch, who's new to the conference,

811
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: had thirty two players out and they still beat Oregon State.

812
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: So last year feels like an outlier for Oregon State, right, Uh,

813
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: I guess I don't want to do this. I like

814
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: Oregon State a lot. I like their coaching staff. Facts

815
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: over feelings, Ralph, Well, the Beavers are terrible. They're very bad.

816
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: That's just like the defensive line it is. It is

817
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: inexcusable how bad bad they are. I all I've been

818
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: thinking about for the last two days is is five

819
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,880
Speaker 1: ft nine eighty pound Travell Harris the greatest wide receiver

820
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: of all time? Or is it possible that Oregon State

821
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: is fielding a team of players that should not be

822
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: playing at this level? Well, I mean they have trick

823
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: Tristan Jeva, who had a good game thirty four with

824
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,439
Speaker 1: the touchdown. Yeah, but if you want it says thirty

825
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: forty eight. But if you watch that game, he was

826
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: a little too slow. His arm was not live enough.

827
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: And you know that's after watching Jake Luton, obviously, but

828
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: it wasn't it just he he was a step slow. Man.

829
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: He's gonna struggle. He's gonna struggle in this league. They

830
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: got a big got a big tight end. Do I

831
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,760
Speaker 1: like they got a nice possession receiver in Kendall Taylor. Yeah, muscar,

832
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: he's good. He dropped the ball that he shouldn't not

833
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: late in the game. But I'll tell you the same

834
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: thing that I told you before started recording. Oregon State

835
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: was down by less than USC was down to Arizona

836
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: State at the exact same point in the game in

837
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and they even scored to make it

838
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: a three point game. And still at no point did

839
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 1: I ever feel like Oregon State was in that game,

840
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: even being down three with like four minutes to go

841
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 1: and kicking an onside kick. Never once if Yeah, it's

842
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: still even with all the momentum going their way, it

843
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 1: felt like they were down a million because Jaden Dolora,

844
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: a six ft pound freshman from Hawaii, carved them up.

845
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: He looked like, remember what everybody told us Tate Martel

846
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 1: was going to be. Yeah, that's who he is. That's

847
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: who Jaden Dolora actually is. He is coming out of

848
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: Bishop Gorman, Tate Martel, same size, same skill, same ability

849
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: to I mean, he's not afraid to just air the ball,

850
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: even the greatest arm that I've ever seen. He's also

851
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: not the fastest or most agile quarterback I've ever seen,

852
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: but he didn't care. He went balls to the wall

853
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: that whole game and he won that game for the

854
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: University of Washington. Obviously, the coaching was also a little

855
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: bit better on the Washington State side. Um, they ran

856
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: the ball incredibly well, so I know you, I know,

857
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 1: you gotta like that. That that addition to what I mean,

858
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: if they had that when Mike Leach was there, they

859
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: might have represented the pack twelve in in a in

860
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: a college football playoff. And that this was without Max

861
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: BORGI and I guess thirty something other players they looked

862
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 1: really good or Oregon State is really bad and they

863
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 1: looked fine. I can't that. I cannot tell the difference

864
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: after watching that game. Yeah, I mean, and once we

865
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: found out that that Washington State had thirty two players out,

866
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: I thought that that was I thought that that was

867
00:53:56,160 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: very telling about Oregon State because granted it wasn't necessarily

868
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 1: any of Washington State's biggest names, but but still do

869
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: they still ran for seven seven point six yards to carry. Yeah,

870
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: I when when you look at their like the total

871
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: defense numbers just through one game. Oregon State, obviously they

872
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 1: gave up thirty eight points. They are, It's just not

873
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: like they're just not as efficient as you need them

874
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: to be, and that will just continue to to earn

875
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: itself out. But you know, teams make their biggest is

876
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: Dion McIntosh for real? Or were there just enormous holes

877
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: for him to run there because he broke a few tackles. Yeah,

878
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 1: we'll see this week. Versus Oregon, we'll see this week.

879
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: I mean number story and that that was the least

880
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: oppressive part of Oregon's game was a run defense. Well,

881
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:58,399
Speaker 1: they they played a lot of players. Well, actually, let's

882
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: let's move on to that game. The Stanford Oregon game,

883
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 1: which obviously surprises happened right before kickoff because we find

884
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: out that Davis Mills is out for COVID, his roommate,

885
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: the wide receiver, their best wide receiver is gone. And

886
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: Oregon won the game thirty five to fourteen, which is

887
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 1: another game that I won. Ralph um so um, oh,

888
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 1: what will you get the totals for this for this week? Yeah,

889
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: I'll grab him so we can we can tweet them out.

890
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm I think you probably did better than me, just

891
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: based off of I don't, I don't. Did you go

892
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: with Colorado. I can't remember. I know that I know

893
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: that I got that wrong, and I know that I

894
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: got a su winning wrong. So you have to beat

895
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 1: me this week. Um, all right, so we have so

896
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: uh So it's thirty fourteen Oregon one. I thought that,

897
00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 1: so your your boy got his first start, Tyler shuck. Uh.

898
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: He had a touchdown in an interception. I and he

899
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:09,240
Speaker 1: should have thrown another interception which was which was just dropped.

900
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:14,439
Speaker 1: He had a pretty good game. I he looked like

901
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: a guy in his first college start, so like I

902
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: have to give him, give him na um. I thought

903
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 1: that the offense played pretty well, like running the ball

904
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 1: especially they ran the ball forty times for two hundred

905
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 1: and sixty eight yards. You know, you know, like eighty

906
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 1: five of at was shog himself, So he's showing himself

907
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: very mobile. This is a team that's a work in progress,

908
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:44,359
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be interesting to see because do I

909
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: think the that Oregon as a college football playoff contender

910
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: after the way that they played Stanford, I don't know,

911
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: because I don't know how good Stanford Stanford's offensive line

912
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: is this year yet. And yeah, so for them to

913
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: be in that, they're gonna have to have a massive

914
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: improvement in terms of from week one to week two,

915
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 1: which we've seen in other conferences and other teams. Yes, um, alright,

916
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: moment of truth. Who was the best player on the

917
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: field either team? I would go? I would say I

918
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: would have went with probably Cavon Thibido because even though

919
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: even though he didn't have any secks, like, he was

920
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: very dominant in the in the run game like. He

921
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:43,919
Speaker 1: was physical, He was physical, he was disruptive. I thought

922
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: he I thought he had a really really good game.

923
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: And but actually no, I would probably say the person

924
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: that had the biggest impact on the game that was

925
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: probably either c J. Verdell or Yeah, I probably say

926
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: c J. Verdell was the best player in the field.

927
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: How about you? I I thought the best player on

928
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: the field who I thought, at at certain points in

929
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: the game, with his speedies, speed and size was uncoverable?

930
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: Was seeming foko? I thought that. I thought the team

931
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: that Stanford dragged out there, Uh he had three catches, Ralph,

932
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: he had three catches. Did you see those three catches? Yeah?

933
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: I see? Who did you see who was playing quarterback

934
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: without those without without those three catches? Jet Turner might

935
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: only miss one field goal. Oh yeah yeah, and we

936
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: and we forgot to mention this. Stanford's really bad at

937
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: kicking field goals. Uh, so bad for him. He just

938
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: had that. He missed four field goals, and I didn't

939
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: feel bad for him. I felt bad at four. Actually

940
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: I didn't feel bad for him because it was it

941
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 1: was David Shaw's fault there down. That's why I felt

942
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: bad for him. They were kicking in situations that they

943
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: never ever should have in a million years. Down twenty

944
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: eight to three in the third quarter, to three in

945
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: the third quarter, and they're kicking field goals and like

946
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: towards the end of the third quarter, I'm like, what

947
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: are you doing? Go for it? And nope, David Saw

948
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: running running pump football, kicking field goal. That's what you get.

949
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Jet Jet Toner. I feel bad for you,

950
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 1: but not for like, here's the deal. He's like a

951
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: hundred three for a hundred three lifetime on extra points.

952
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: He was highly regarded coming out of high school and

953
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: he got a little bit extra pub just for having

954
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: a ridiculous name. He had only missed ten field goals

955
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: in his career, and you know how Stanford likes to

956
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: kick field goals. You saw it, and he comes in.

957
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: He misses four in this game, and it was just

958
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,640
Speaker 1: like David Shaw, like the disgust in his eyes. But

959
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: he should have been discussed at himself. The play calling

960
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: on Oregon side of the field, which you should be concerned,

961
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: George with how many times Stanford even got there in

962
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: the first place, because they they were they the what

963
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: if what if David Shaw? What if David Shaw had

964
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: taken the idea of even kicking field goals off the table.

965
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: I still think he'd screwed it up because I saw

966
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: what he did inside the five trying to throw fades.

967
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 1: That was weird. Um, he was just it was just

968
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 1: not a well coached game. It is. It is painfully

969
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: obvious the lack of athleticism on Stanford side of the field,

970
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: but they were pretty disciplined on defense. UM at certain points,

971
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: Fajko is a fantastic wide receiver. The quarterback play was

972
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: not going to be good. You knew this. Um. If

973
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,919
Speaker 1: Davis Mills is in that game and they're not out

974
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: trying to chip show field goals down three, it might

975
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: have been a little bit different of a contest. And

976
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: that's why I think if you're an Oregon fan, I

977
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: think you walk away with a lot of things to

978
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: be encouraged about on the offensive side of the ball,

979
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 1: and I think you've got to be kind of discouraged

980
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: with how things went defensively. There's gonna need to be

981
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: some serious improvement throughout the season made. And I know

982
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys are young, and I know

983
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: a lot of them are are playing for the first

984
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: time because you had so many departures. But I just

985
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: I saw Stanford moving the ball all game long and

986
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 1: then shooting themselves in the foot. I didn't see a

987
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: ton of I didn't see a ton of things that

988
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: Oregon did to stop Stanford. I saw Stanford being the

989
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: best defender on Oregon's team at several points in the game.

990
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: And I want to point this out as far as

991
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: as far as Tyler Shuk, he made a couple of

992
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: just absolutely terrible decisions with the football, just bad. And

993
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: you're right, he did look very very young, but he

994
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: did things. And I've been covering his games since he

995
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: was a junior in high school. I've seen him play

996
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: live a dozen times. He did a couple of things

997
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: in that game I've never seen him do before, which

998
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: was create an opportunity for himself with his legs. He's

999
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: never been slow, He's not a slow football player, but

1000
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: escapability was not something that I've ever seen him display,

1001
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: and he turned at one point, he turned what should

1002
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 1: have been a five yard loss into what a twentysomething

1003
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 1: yard game, calling a designed run for him to score

1004
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: a touchdown. That was bizarre to me. And he actually

1005
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: made a move on that play to get that done.

1006
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: The throw where Johnny Johnson did not get a foot down,

1007
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 1: but they initially called it a touchdown, you know I'm

1008
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was That was

1009
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: a lot more of what I'm used to the deep ball.

1010
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 1: But I don't think that Oregon necessarily has the talent

1011
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: at white out to to be making a ton of

1012
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: explosive plays. I think they have to be more methodical.

1013
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 1: And the thing that I left most encouraged about with

1014
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: Oregon in this game was that they had the drive

1015
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,919
Speaker 1: right before halftime to drive. What was the score at half?

1016
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: Was it fourteen to seven? Uh? It was, yeah, fourteen

1017
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 1: and seven. Okay, So the drive right before halftime, which

1018
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: was like a ninety six yard drive if I remember correctly,

1019
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 1: then they got the kickoff to start the second half,

1020
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: and then they just broke Stanford's back. I loved that.

1021
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: That was the most NFL looking offense I've seen in

1022
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: all of college football this year. It was not pretty,

1023
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: it was not explosive. There weren't a bunch of plays

1024
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: that would make you get up out of your seat.

1025
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: But if you can sustain a drive and you can

1026
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: keep the other team's offense off the field, especially when

1027
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: that other team's offense is getting yards on you, then

1028
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna give yourself the best possible chance to win.

1029
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Loved Organ's offense. Did not care for their defense. Okay,

1030
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 1: but well, player that stood out on their defense dramatically

1031
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: was Noah Seul. That kid, because everybody was expecting justin flow,

1032
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: but Noah, Noah Seul has taken uh Drew mathis spotty.

1033
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: It appears that that kid is going to be fantastic.

1034
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he made a couple, you know, errors that

1035
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: you expect of true freshmen to make, but they were

1036
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: aggressive that I am. I am bullish on that young man.

1037
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: That young man is going to be absolutely special. Um

1038
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: So that covers the games from last week and ate

1039
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: if you want to if you want to talk about

1040
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: Dorrian Thompson Robinson, we did. We did leave out Colorado.

1041
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Oh alright, alright Colorado. Yeah, we forgot about them. Colorado

1042
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: versus Washington State, Jesus. We's uh U c l AS

1043
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: defense is the worst thing I have ever seen. It is.

1044
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 1: It didn't get any better from last year. Colorado. We

1045
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,880
Speaker 1: didn't even know who they're starting quarterback was gonna be.

1046
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: We didn't even know. I mean, every single time they

1047
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: got the ball. So it was it was thirty five

1048
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 1: to fourteen at halftime, it was thirty five to seven

1049
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: at one point in point in time, Colorado rushed for

1050
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,480
Speaker 1: two hundred sixty four yards. They threw for another to

1051
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: sixty one. I mean, it was just I mean, and

1052
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: when you look at U c l A's offensive numbers, uh,

1053
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 1: Dorian Thompson Robinson threw for three hundred yards four touchdowns.

1054
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: They ran for seven yards to carry. Uh. They lost three.

1055
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: They lost three fumbles, which is obviously a problem. But

1056
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: aside from that, like their numbers, offensively, they were able

1057
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: to move the ball and score. They scored forty two points.

1058
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: The only problem is their defense gave up forty eight.

1059
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 1: And if this was a great offense. They had given

1060
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: up seventy So there's that donating two touchdowns of the

1061
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: cause right out of the gate. That was not that

1062
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 1: was not helpful. Without without those two scores off of

1063
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: two U c l A turnovers, maybe it's a completely

1064
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 1: different game. But it felt so over to me at

1065
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: fourteen nothing, and then when it was thirty five to seven,

1066
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, U c l A has come back

1067
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: from that kind of deficit before. They did it last

1068
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 1: year against Washington State when the other team kind of

1069
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 1: lets off because you've let them absolutely run you over. Yeah,

1070
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to to to score some points.

1071
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 1: But you can't rope a dope in college football. You can't.

1072
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: You can't let someone like imagine you just talked about

1073
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: a s U not being aggressive enough. If if a

1074
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: SU played with the aggression that Colorado played in the

1075
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 1: first half against u c l A, they would have

1076
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: been up four touchdowns on USC. You can't you can't

1077
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 1: rope a dope the way that that U c l

1078
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: A does. You can't let people get that many uh

1079
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: in front of and then and then when they finally

1080
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 1: decided to start taking care of the football, you see

1081
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: the playmaking ability of Dorian Thompson Robinson with a sixty

1082
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: five yard touchdown run with six yard touchdown pass two

1083
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 1: Keegan Jones, and then the defense finally holds Colorado to

1084
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: a couple of field goals, and then right as you know,

1085
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: time is kind of expiring. Um, you see big Mike

1086
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 1: Martinez get in on the action with a with a

1087
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 1: with a touchdown catch from Dorian Thompson Robinson. But it

1088
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 1: was I mean, kudos, I guess to U c L.

1089
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: But they might as well have lost thirty five to seven.

1090
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter at that point. You can't give up

1091
01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: forty eight points to Colorado. My goodness, that if if

1092
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 1: if I was to make a list of the ten

1093
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 1: most unbelievable things that were going to happen in Week one,

1094
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: like if I could see the future, and I read

1095
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 1: off those ten things to you, and they included like, um,

1096
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:16,759
Speaker 1: you know, uh pass from Keithen Slovis to to Drake London.

1097
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: I think that you know that that would give USC

1098
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: one point when that feels believable. Colorado scoring forty eight

1099
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: points with Sam Noyer at quarterback would probably at least

1100
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 1: of all of the you know, have been like oh,

1101
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 1: how many times did they score on defense? They did? Yep, no,

1102
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty bad. And that's pretty boarding. Eight points

1103
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: without scoring on defense. And Sam Noyer throws one touchdown pass. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1104
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you when when you let Jared

1105
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: Broussard rush for a hundred and eighties seven yards and

1106
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 1: three three touchdowns. Let's see if he could do that again. Um,

1107
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: now onto the game. Well, actually, that's go on real

1108
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 1: super quick. To the ratings. So the PAX twelve this week,

1109
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: they had one game that kind of fell into the

1110
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 1: ratings from the um which was the Oregon Stanford game

1111
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: one point six six million viewers compared to the game

1112
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: that was on at the same time, which was Clemson

1113
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, which did ten million viewers. So there's a difference.

1114
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: Is that Number one, Stanford has no fans. That's number one.

1115
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 1: Number two, you were up against Notre Dame Clemson, which

1116
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:44,679
Speaker 1: was actually a competitive game, and the Oregon Stanford game.

1117
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 1: Stanford doesn't have any fans. So that's the first thing.

1118
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: And when you compare it to the previous weeks where

1119
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 1: you had um Ohio State Penn State was the biggest

1120
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 1: game from the previous week which had six point five

1121
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 1: three million versus No there Dame having ten million viewers,

1122
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 1: Like that's huge. And Week eight biggest game Ohio State again,

1123
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: which I've been trying to tell everybody, Ohio State is

1124
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,759
Speaker 1: the draw in college football six point one eight million,

1125
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: highest one that week and before that. So the whole

1126
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 1: point is that you hadn't even gotten anywhere near ten

1127
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 1: million viewers except for the Alabama Georgia game the entire year.

1128
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 1: So Oregon ben Stanford being at one point six six

1129
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: million on ABC. I think that that was due to

1130
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:37,600
Speaker 1: two things. Number One, you had, um the election coverage.

1131
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 1: You have Biden and Harris's speech which broke into the game.

1132
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,639
Speaker 1: And then people who were in who are a part

1133
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: of the seventy million people who didn't want to hear

1134
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 1: anything or seventy one million people who didn't want to

1135
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 1: hear anything about it, they continue to tune out. I

1136
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: don't think that they came back to the football game.

1137
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 1: When you said that you told me the first time,

1138
01:10:57,840 --> 01:10:59,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't stop laughing. It's like, yeah, I mean I

1139
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 1: get that, I get that. Shutting the TV off for

1140
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 1: the night, Yeah for sure. So um on to this week,

1141
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: though there's a bunch of games canceled. There is already

1142
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 1: nine games canceled including Alabama, l s u Ohio State, Maryland,

1143
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 1: Texas and him Tennessee, Georgia, Missouri, and Auburn Mississippi State.

1144
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: That's just the ranked teams. That means that the PAC

1145
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 1: twelve has center stage, which they've already had a game

1146
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 1: move to twelve thirty. They had the UM Colorado Stanford

1147
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 1: game being moved to ESPN on at twelve thirty instead

1148
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 1: of ESPN two or you one of them. So that's

1149
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 1: a big deal. So they're gonna get some national uh

1150
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,679
Speaker 1: coverage instead of being on ESPN two being on ESPN

1151
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: and now. Yeah. Yeah, So that's the first game up

1152
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 1: this week. Ralph Colorado Stanford. UM, do you have our

1153
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 1: picks from last week? I do not. I do not

1154
01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: have our picks from last week pulled up, but I'll

1155
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,639
Speaker 1: have them so that we can that that that that

1156
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: we can tweet them out. I do want to say this, um,

1157
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:18,640
Speaker 1: A s you having to play at nine in the

1158
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: morning followed by having to play at nine at night

1159
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 1: the next week is the number one reason that I

1160
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: stay mad at this stupid and I've've already ranted about

1161
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: this a million times, so I'm not gonna do it again.

1162
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 1: But I do want to bring up the fact that

1163
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:36,680
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick said he thinks the Pack Twelves should try

1164
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 1: to play on Wednesdays. That's the most disrespectful issue I've

1165
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: ever heard in my entire life about the Pack Twelves.

1166
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 1: You tell me why you think that it's disrespectful, and

1167
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. I don't even care anymore, to

1168
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 1: the point where I think he might be right. Do

1169
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: you want to end this podcast right now because apparently

1170
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: you want to fight? Dude? Are you kidding me? Ralph,

1171
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:06,480
Speaker 1: That's the most disrespectful thing I've ever heard. Play on Wednesday.

1172
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:10,520
Speaker 1: Maxtion is on Tuesday. I already hate playing on Thursdays

1173
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: or Fridays. Playing on third on Wednesday, you can't schedule

1174
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 1: non conference upoint man, you won't get any viewers talking

1175
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 1: about we own the night. Nobody cares about that night

1176
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: for football like it. It took the NFL, like damn there,

1177
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: ten years to make people care about Thursday night football.

1178
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: It's not it's it's a horrible idea. Rolb. I can't

1179
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: even believe that that that you have left. Michael Scott,

1180
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: Michael Larry Scott beat you into submission so badly that

1181
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: you're you're just giving up hoping. You're like, oh, well,

1182
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 1: I guess Wednesday's okay. Think about it this way, man

1183
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 1: television to the PAC twelve, it's it's almost like scientology.

1184
01:13:54,720 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 1: The PAC twelve has sacrificed literally every ounce of potential

1185
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: relevance that it could have to the god of television,

1186
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 1: a god that does not love them back, a god

1187
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 1: that has given them absolutely nothing, and they've given them everything. No,

1188
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: they what are you talking about it? No? No, no, no,

1189
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: it's because a false god, right exactly, television you No, no,

1190
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: the false god, the false God is the pact well

1191
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 1: of network. That's why instead do because they wanted to

1192
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 1: start their own network. They messed up the negotiating rights.

1193
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 1: It was the false God that threw them off. They

1194
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: would have given, they would have given their trying to give.

1195
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,679
Speaker 1: They gave Fox nine AM. They're trying to do anything

1196
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 1: they can to stay relevant to people who don't even care.

1197
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: You talk about two point three million people watching a

1198
01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: s U U sc I don't care about those two

1199
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 1: point three million people unless they're in the mark, and

1200
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: unless it affects their long term fandom, unless it turns

1201
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,639
Speaker 1: them into people who want to see Pat twelve football

1202
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: on a regular basis, that can happen. If that's what

1203
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: that can happen, if that's what people see. What are

1204
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:18,920
Speaker 1: you talking about? I am talking about the fact that

1205
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: the priorities should and always be the fan bases in

1206
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: the markets in which you play, and you should try

1207
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: to establish as much routine as you possibly can, just

1208
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:31,639
Speaker 1: like the NFL does. You shouldn't have a team kicking

1209
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 1: off at nine am and one one week, then nine

1210
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 1: pm on Saturday next week, then they're on a Thursday,

1211
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: then they're on a Friday. Also that you can get

1212
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 1: your games on a television that was probably going to

1213
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 1: be on a network that nobody has because the person

1214
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: in charge your conference is terrible at his job. So

1215
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 1: if you want to turn around and throw the games

1216
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, it's not going to hurt you because you

1217
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: are already as hurt as you can possibly be. When

1218
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 1: I said it's like scientology, it's like you get to

1219
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: fifty five years old and you've given them nine percent

1220
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:02,760
Speaker 1: of your income for the rest, you know, for for

1221
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:04,960
Speaker 1: your entire life, You've got absolutely nothing out of it.

1222
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 1: You've got five dollars left in your pocket, five hole dollars.

1223
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,719
Speaker 1: Is it gonna hurt you to give them that five dollars?

1224
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 1: Probably not. You already have nothing. They already took everything

1225
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: from you. You might as well play on a Wednesday night.

1226
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:23,679
Speaker 1: You might as well compete against Modern Family. Modern Modern

1227
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: Family ended. Well, so will the PAC twelve if they

1228
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: keep playing. Damn, I don't have anything else to say.

1229
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 1: All right, Colorado Stanford? Oh my god, oh god, oh

1230
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 1: I got what we're here laughing like get an eggin

1231
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: or get it go blue, whoever it is? Um, so,

1232
01:16:52,479 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, So we got Colorado at Stanford. Stanford

1233
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 1: is favorite by six and a half points. We don't

1234
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 1: know if David's Mills will be back. Um, so, how

1235
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: do they even have that line publicly available? Then that

1236
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 1: means that they think so little of Colorado and and

1237
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 1: and so little of U. C. L A. That this

1238
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: line is at sixty six and a half points. And

1239
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:29,160
Speaker 1: guess what the over under is after Stanford scored fifty

1240
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 1: four I'm sorry, after I just gave it to you. Um,

1241
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 1: after Stanford scored fourteen points last week, the over under

1242
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: in this game is fifty four and a half. That's

1243
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: an easy over, easy over. That just that feels gross.

1244
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 1: If that that feels like a pretty high scoring game

1245
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: for these two people. Um, obviously Colorado's defense, I don't

1246
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 1: think it's any good. They gave up forty two points

1247
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 1: and didn't get the luxury of being helped by U.

1248
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 1: C l A's offense. I got, I got Stanford in

1249
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: this game. I got Stanford, and I got Stanford covering

1250
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: this six and a half points. I'll roll with you,

1251
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 1: since doing things my way is not working out for me. Um,

1252
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: I got Stanford by ten. We'll call it. We'll call it,

1253
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 1: which will give you the give me the over if

1254
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm doing my math correctly. All right. It also assumes

1255
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:35,599
Speaker 1: that Stanford makes a field goal and or misses an

1256
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 1: extra point. Well, and after the things with, maybe missing

1257
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 1: an extra point would be the more sensical, right, Yes, exactly, Um,

1258
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 1: but chet Turner has never missed an extra point in

1259
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 1: his life. I do want to point that out, oh m,

1260
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:54,200
Speaker 1: And if he does, you will be the jinks. But okay,

1261
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 1: so David Shaw, I mean he's a Stanford guy. I see.

1262
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 1: Here's the problem that here's the thing that makes no

1263
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: sense to me. Stanford got not using analytics. Analytics to

1264
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: you to go for it more on fourth down, because

1265
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 1: if you get Stanford and fourth and two, no matter

1266
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: where they are in the field, they're punting or kicking

1267
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,799
Speaker 1: a field goal. Period. If there's time on the clock

1268
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: that they are, they're doing it. Unless they are in

1269
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 1: you know, unless they're down five points under a minute there,

1270
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna kick a field goal. And if they have

1271
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 1: three time outs they may not. Um so yeah, uh,

1272
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 1: next game up the U the Trojans of USC versus

1273
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,759
Speaker 1: Well at Arizona. USC is favorite by fourteen points over

1274
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,839
Speaker 1: under a sixty seven and a half points because remember

1275
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 1: Graham Harrold did say that they could have scored fifty

1276
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: or sixty points had they converted another couple of first downs,

1277
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:56,600
Speaker 1: which is what every air raid the person says, So

1278
01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:01,720
Speaker 1: are you in on us? S well? What well? Where

1279
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 1: do you stay in? USC favored by fourteen and a

1280
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: half points, being that we didn't see Arizona play last week.

1281
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 1: UM I think I think seventeen is a good is

1282
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 1: a good number. Um. I think you'll see a couple

1283
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:21,600
Speaker 1: of impressive drives from Arizona, given that they do have

1284
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: a couple of really talented running backs. Jamari Joyner would

1285
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 1: not have been able to play this year if they

1286
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: had started the season on time he is. I mean,

1287
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to disrespect Uman Ross st. Brown,

1288
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:38,759
Speaker 1: But as far as just pure athletes go, uh, Jamari

1289
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 1: joiners up there in the conference as one of the

1290
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: absolute best athletes. Can he play the receiver position at

1291
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 1: a high level. We'll see, but I do think he'll

1292
01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: probably make a couple of big plays. So there'll be

1293
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 1: some reasons to get excited if you are a University

1294
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 1: of Arizona fan. I do not completely dismiss out of

1295
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: hand the idea that USC could have had a couple

1296
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:04,720
Speaker 1: of more touchdowns because in fact, they played like garbage

1297
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 1: inside the inside the red zone. So I see where

1298
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:12,320
Speaker 1: he's coming. That's always going to happen there in the air.

1299
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 1: One always want to happen, right. Perhaps they learned their

1300
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: lesson in the fourth quarter with how they were able

1301
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 1: to set the tone running the ball, and they make

1302
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 1: some changes that that that would be huge because if

1303
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 1: they do that, University of Arizona is not gonna be

1304
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: able to stop a single thing that that USC does.

1305
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 1: USC will maybe stop themselves. And I know how much

1306
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 1: you hate their offense, and I think they could certainly

1307
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:36,560
Speaker 1: give you more reasons to hate them. Uh if the

1308
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:40,599
Speaker 1: game against Arizona. But this Arizona team, this defense is

1309
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: I hate to say it on Oregon States level. And

1310
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 1: so you know, if USC doesn't score forty against Arizona,

1311
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 1: then that you should have massive alarm bells ringing. This

1312
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:59,639
Speaker 1: has to do with Arizona's defensive coordinator. This game will

1313
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: be on him because if they can't, like it's like

1314
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 1: the blueprint on how to stop the air rate is there.

1315
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:14,719
Speaker 1: I mean, lad did a good job with the defensive

1316
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:16,559
Speaker 1: backs at U c l A when they went up

1317
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:20,680
Speaker 1: against USC. I will say that, Yeah, so it's like

1318
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:25,880
Speaker 1: the blueprint is there. So play play zone, come up

1319
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 1: and tackle. They should not give up a million points

1320
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 1: like they shouldn't. But I don't trust Arizona, so I

1321
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: am taking and it's in Arizona too. Oh man, I

1322
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 1: want to take Arizona. You gotta do it. You have to.

1323
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 1: I'm telling okay, I'm taking USC and Arizona to fade

1324
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:56,720
Speaker 1: the points too, to beat the number, to beat the

1325
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,760
Speaker 1: fourteen points. I do not think that will be care.

1326
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 1: I'm calling fort one right now. So does kind of

1327
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:08,920
Speaker 1: feel good. It does feel good, But I'm I'm gonna

1328
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 1: be an contrarian because um yeah, so they're um alright.

1329
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 1: Next game up Cow at Arizona State. Arizona State, they

1330
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:28,479
Speaker 1: get a home game. No line literally, no line, no, no,

1331
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 1: no, no no, no no. Arizona State's favorite by four points. No,

1332
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: it's a it's a joke about how the defensive line

1333
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 1: won't show up. It's a little, a little double entendre

1334
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:38,639
Speaker 1: for you, George. Oh, I thought you were saying no

1335
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,720
Speaker 1: line because Cal may not be able to play. That's

1336
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: what I meant. No line because Cal won't have a

1337
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 1: defensive line. Oh okay, okay, see joke. It's not funny anymore.

1338
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: Now I just feel um alright. So Arizona State's favorite

1339
01:23:56,439 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: by four points. Jayden Daniels was eleven, been for twenty

1340
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 1: three for a buck thirty four. Good god, it was

1341
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: worse than I thought he was the leading Jane Daniels

1342
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 1: was like eleven for eleven, and Johnny Wilson was over twelve. No,

1343
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: Bunky Bud and Darby and Darby helped too. How about

1344
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: those freshmen. Yeah, and Jane Daniels was the leading Russia

1345
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 1: he ran for a hundred and eleven yards and Rashad

1346
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 1: White was the leading the running back, was the leading receiver. Okay,

1347
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: he's good. He should be at U c l A

1348
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:39,800
Speaker 1: right now. Him leaving like that would have given U.

1349
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:41,600
Speaker 1: C l A a a heck of a weapon, but he

1350
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:44,480
Speaker 1: broke his commitment with a s U. Now he's the

1351
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 1: leading receiver and Arizona State and out of the backfield.

1352
01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: So who do you I got Cal in this game.

1353
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 1: I'm telling you up front, I don't think Arizona State

1354
01:24:56,479 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 1: should even be favorite. Um, but then this is depending

1355
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 1: on who Cow puts out on the football field too.

1356
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what their defensive line is gonna look like,

1357
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:13,559
Speaker 1: but either way, I don't trust the Arizona State's offensive line.

1358
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:18,599
Speaker 1: So I got Col in this game Cow straight up,

1359
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm But but if they lose by a field goal,

1360
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 1: I still wins. That's all I've come picking them to win,

1361
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:27,000
Speaker 1: and I'm picking them with with the points so I

1362
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 1: can go fifty to quote the esteemed City of Berkeley, California. Nope, no,

1363
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:36,600
Speaker 1: as he's got this and also that game is not

1364
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 1: gonna get played. So why are you being a negative Nancy.

1365
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 1: I'm not being a negative Nancy that they we're not

1366
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:53,080
Speaker 1: on track. Marten has just said we're on track. Ralph Okay, well, Uh,

1367
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 1: even if we are on the tracks, who's the one

1368
01:25:55,280 --> 01:26:00,920
Speaker 1: that drives a train? HERM Edwards Arizona State ps PS.

1369
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 1: Assuming we have three or four cow fans that listen

1370
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 1: to this, they absolutely know how much I love them.

1371
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 1: They are one of the most fantastic fan bases in

1372
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 1: all of college football. I love Cal but I do

1373
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 1: not believe that they're going to be able to feel

1374
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 1: the team to play in this game. I don't. I

1375
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:20,760
Speaker 1: do not, currently with the information available, believe that it

1376
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 1: is possible. Uh. And even if it is, the distractions

1377
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:26,760
Speaker 1: of last week and not even being able to practice

1378
01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 1: with your defensive line is going to hurt you. Listen.

1379
01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 1: I am in on Chase Garber's Christopher Brown Jr. I'm

1380
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 1: interested to see how much Nico Remigio has improved. I

1381
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:45,560
Speaker 1: want to see Cow's defense, who everybody said has regressed

1382
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: but is consistently one of the best defenses in the conference. Um.

1383
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,719
Speaker 1: The interesting thing on this line is so the line

1384
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 1: on the Arizona. The Arizona USC game is sixty seven

1385
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:01,599
Speaker 1: and a half half, which is by far the biggest

1386
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:07,879
Speaker 1: one of this this week. That's absurd, right, it's sixty

1387
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 1: seven and a half. Bro. That lets you know what

1388
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:15,760
Speaker 1: they think of USC's defense as well. Um, the States

1389
01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:17,599
Speaker 1: gonna score sixty seven and a half for the rest

1390
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 1: of the year. Yeah, So, the the line on the

1391
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:23,839
Speaker 1: utah U c l A game is the second biggest

1392
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,799
Speaker 1: at fifty nine and a half, and then it's Oregon

1393
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 1: Washington State at fifty seven and a half. Then it's uh,

1394
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:37,560
Speaker 1: Colorado Stanford. Huh, they're just guessing this is silly Colorado

1395
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:41,600
Speaker 1: Stanford fifty four and a half, Washington Oregon State at

1396
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 1: fifty two and a half. And then the lowest line

1397
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 1: of the whole week is this game forty seven points.

1398
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:55,679
Speaker 1: Forty seven points they are anticipating in this game? Are

1399
01:27:55,680 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 1: you taking the over or under for that? Because this

1400
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 1: is CALS Arizona State, This game could end up nineteen.

1401
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 1: You're asking me if I'm taking the over under for

1402
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 1: for for Calorizon A State? Oh under? Like yeah, again,

1403
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if Arizona State will

1404
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 1: score sixty seven for the rest of the year. There

1405
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:22,720
Speaker 1: they don't. They're not out there to score a bunch

1406
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 1: of points. They could have you said it yourself, they

1407
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:29,320
Speaker 1: could have put their foot on the throat of USC

1408
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:33,719
Speaker 1: and they just didn't do it. They are there there

1409
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 1: when it comes to to Herm Edwards, he has been

1410
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:41,120
Speaker 1: an absolutely fantastic surprise for most people as far as

1411
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: what they've been able to do. And he admitted before

1412
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 1: this season, like, if we want to win at the

1413
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: college level, you know we're gonna have to get Zach

1414
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: Hill and here we're gonna have to average forty points

1415
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 1: a game. But I don't know if you can get

1416
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:56,320
Speaker 1: away from that instinct that you just act like a

1417
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 1: a Boa constrictor once you get up, like you just

1418
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,160
Speaker 1: try to squeeze the life out of the other team.

1419
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:05,240
Speaker 1: That doesn't work, asked to asked to San Diego Charger,

1420
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 1: the l A Chargers. If that works, it doesn't, right,

1421
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 1: But I just do you see do you see that

1422
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: change happening in Arizona State under her Terwards? Do you

1423
01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:21,679
Speaker 1: see them going out yes, on a team that they're

1424
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:24,920
Speaker 1: already up by twenty at halftime. I believe that they

1425
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 1: want to I don't believe that they have the necessary

1426
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:32,680
Speaker 1: athletes to do it. Granted, I think their athletes are

1427
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 1: fan they're just young. They're not ready yet. So that's

1428
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:37,599
Speaker 1: why I say they don't have them yet, because they're

1429
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:40,240
Speaker 1: not they're not ready. Um, so who do you have

1430
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 1: in this game? Arizona State favored by four points for sure? Okay,

1431
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: you were you were real sure about last week too, buddy,

1432
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:52,960
Speaker 1: Well what was I was most sure about the same

1433
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:54,800
Speaker 1: thing that you were most sure about, which was that

1434
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:57,080
Speaker 1: ten and a half was the worst possible line in

1435
01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:00,040
Speaker 1: the history of college football. I hope that every and

1436
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: he made ridiculous amounts of money betting on a s U. Well, actually,

1437
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:07,479
Speaker 1: last last week I thought the worst line was the

1438
01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:11,559
Speaker 1: Liberty Virginia Tech game. Yeah, you're right, you're right about

1439
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 1: that too. Yeah, I was like, sixteen points. I think

1440
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 1: this free money, buddy, free money. Um Oregon State at Washington.

1441
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 1: Washington's favor by thirteen and a half points. We we

1442
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 1: have not seen Washington play. We do not know who

1443
01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 1: their starting quarterback is going to be yet. On their

1444
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:39,759
Speaker 1: too deep now, on their too deep everybody is in bold,

1445
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:43,240
Speaker 1: like you like, Ordinarily they put somebody in as a

1446
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 1: starter and then they'll still put or underneath and that

1447
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:51,599
Speaker 1: person like like for instance, at tailback they have Camari Pleasant,

1448
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 1: but then it says or Sean mcg I'm wait, no, no,

1449
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:58,880
Speaker 1: he's the starter, and then Sha Shama grows the next

1450
01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 1: guy or Richard Newton. But on the the quarterback Ethan

1451
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:10,639
Speaker 1: Garber's is listed first, but they're actually listed in alphabetical order,

1452
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:14,040
Speaker 1: so we don't know if this is alphabetical order or

1453
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 1: if this is actual the order. So Ethan Garber's, Dylan Morris,

1454
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:24,800
Speaker 1: Jacob's Sermon or Kevin Thompson. Who is your bet to

1455
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 1: start the game, my bet to start the game? As Sermon?

1456
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:32,240
Speaker 1: Who I would start as Garbers? That's who I would

1457
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:34,040
Speaker 1: I would start Garbers. I would roll out there with

1458
01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: a freshman why not? UM, what I do want to

1459
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 1: say this, I'm I'm going to have to admit that

1460
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 1: I'm wrong to one of our followers, even though I'm

1461
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:51,840
Speaker 1: not wrong. And that's very frustrating because one of our followers,

1462
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 1: UH loyal Washington Husky fan told me that I was

1463
01:31:55,080 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: wrong about the running backs at University of Washington. I

1464
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:04,759
Speaker 1: respectfully disagree. I think that that is probably the weakest

1465
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:10,120
Speaker 1: point of the Huskies headed into this season, but their

1466
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:12,640
Speaker 1: first game got canceled, and so the first time they

1467
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:14,519
Speaker 1: take the field is going to be against Oregon State.

1468
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:17,280
Speaker 1: And I am never going to look more wrong about

1469
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:21,320
Speaker 1: anything than I am those running backs when they get

1470
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 1: to go against the Oregon State defensive line. It's not

1471
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,400
Speaker 1: fair because then I'm gonna I'm gonna look stupid. I'm

1472
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 1: gonna have to say that I was wrong, and then

1473
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,320
Speaker 1: over time I'll look a little bit more right. But

1474
01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:37,720
Speaker 1: they are going to eat George And I said, I

1475
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,960
Speaker 1: said that they wouldn't make Oregons four deep. Camari Pleasant

1476
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 1: and shaw McGrew wouldn't even make the four deep int

1477
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:45,479
Speaker 1: Oregon And now they're both going to go out and

1478
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 1: get three hundred yards each in the first game of

1479
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:56,040
Speaker 1: the season. You said three yards eat. Remember last year

1480
01:32:56,080 --> 01:33:04,520
Speaker 1: Oregon State's defense put put Washington in a in a headlock. Yeah,

1481
01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:08,479
Speaker 1: that was no more are the days of Jacob Eason

1482
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 1: dropping back seventy six yards to throw seventy five yard pass,

1483
01:33:17,080 --> 01:33:20,639
Speaker 1: dropping back seventies to throw one yard fat That's funny.

1484
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:27,080
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So that was a good diss that was

1485
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:29,720
Speaker 1: that was a thoughtful one. Well, that's because I'm a

1486
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:31,880
Speaker 1: Cardinals fan, and I watched Kevin Cobb do it until

1487
01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:34,160
Speaker 1: he can cuss himself out of the league. And that's

1488
01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:38,360
Speaker 1: exactly who Jacob Eeson was was Kevin Cobb. So thirteen

1489
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:43,000
Speaker 1: and a half points is the line? Who do you have, Washington?

1490
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:49,080
Speaker 1: I that's what that's How much is that the line

1491
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 1: for the game? Or how many yards per carry they'll have?

1492
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:55,839
Speaker 1: That's the line? Man? All Right, dude, I am totally

1493
01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:59,360
Speaker 1: against you here. I like Washington to win and I

1494
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:03,360
Speaker 1: got or in State to cover this line. Dude, they're

1495
01:34:03,360 --> 01:34:07,040
Speaker 1: not gonna Huh, what do you know here that I

1496
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:12,280
Speaker 1: don't know? Because you sound competent? Okay, here here, here's

1497
01:34:12,280 --> 01:34:16,400
Speaker 1: what I know. Oregan State's defense is terrible, right, Yes,

1498
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:21,759
Speaker 1: their offense, their offense can move the ball and score.

1499
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:26,840
Speaker 1: Washington is playing their first football game. They're going to

1500
01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:31,000
Speaker 1: be somewhat sloppy because it's their first football game. I

1501
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 1: do believe Washington is a significantly better team. And on defense,

1502
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:41,040
Speaker 1: their defense, I mean guys like Ryan Ryan Bowman, Elijah Molden.

1503
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 1: Uh a lot to like they assa turner. They got

1504
01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 1: some guys, right, but this is their first game. It's

1505
01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:56,800
Speaker 1: gonna be tough because it's your first game. Oregan State's

1506
01:34:56,840 --> 01:34:59,880
Speaker 1: gonna be able to score. And I'm not sold on

1507
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:03,519
Speaker 1: how good Washington's offense is going to be because it

1508
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 1: hasn't been good the last few years. So I am

1509
01:35:07,040 --> 01:35:09,960
Speaker 1: just banking on that. I'm just going off the information

1510
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:13,599
Speaker 1: that I have so so far, and that's why I'm

1511
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 1: taking Washington to win an Oregon State. Okay, I don't

1512
01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:28,880
Speaker 1: get any money, real money on that, please, all right.

1513
01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:37,080
Speaker 1: I just Oregon moved the ball against the five scholarship

1514
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:44,000
Speaker 1: players that Washington State had left. I don't know. I

1515
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:45,400
Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna be able to move the ball.

1516
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: I I just I like Jonathan Smith, just not enough

1517
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:52,800
Speaker 1: to say all the things that you you just said.

1518
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm genuinely worried that this could be like a fifty

1519
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 1: seven games. Oh, get out of here, bro, you are nuts.

1520
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:08,880
Speaker 1: You are absolutely a crazy man for saying that. Um.

1521
01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 1: All right, Next game up, we got the Oregon Ducks

1522
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 1: traveling up to the Polouse to um to potentially snowy, rainy,

1523
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:27,839
Speaker 1: sleety Martin Stadium in Pullman, Washington. Oregon's favored by ten points.

1524
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:35,320
Speaker 1: Who you got? I like Oregon, um and the and

1525
01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:45,959
Speaker 1: the points. I'm not a huge fan a defensively, um

1526
01:36:46,479 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 1: of what Oregon did last week, and we did watch

1527
01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:52,639
Speaker 1: Washington State have a bunch of success running the ball,

1528
01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:58,240
Speaker 1: but I'm convinced that that was a skill issue. Um,

1529
01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 1: Oregon State fans, six of them are going to fight you.

1530
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:06,160
Speaker 1: They five, Hopefully they put a more fight in their defense.

1531
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 1: Did I want to like this team so bad? I

1532
01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:14,600
Speaker 1: think that Jonathan if Jonathan Smith was an O C,

1533
01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:16,679
Speaker 1: I think you'd be the best O C in the whole.

1534
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:19,519
Speaker 1: Didn't we have this discussion? Would you take Jonathan Smith

1535
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:23,000
Speaker 1: over over Joe moorehead? Didn't we have that discussion? I

1536
01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:25,360
Speaker 1: said that I would take Smith. You said you'd you'd

1537
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:30,720
Speaker 1: stick it out. Yeah, yeah, I think Jonathan Smith is

1538
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:35,320
Speaker 1: is great. I'm just again, there's four players on this

1539
01:37:35,360 --> 01:37:39,439
Speaker 1: team that I think could play on any team in

1540
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 1: the back twelve, and I think everybody else would get

1541
01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:46,240
Speaker 1: replaced by a starter from from somewhere else. It's just

1542
01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:48,720
Speaker 1: that this is not the year that maybe maybe there

1543
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:53,439
Speaker 1: are another year out. UM, we'll see. They definitely need

1544
01:37:53,479 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 1: to do some some better recruiting. I just I'm not

1545
01:37:56,560 --> 01:38:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm not impressed. Uh. Therefore, in makes me feel like

1546
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:03,400
Speaker 1: what Washington State did was a little bit fool's cold. Also,

1547
01:38:03,479 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 1: that game was way closer than it needed to be,

1548
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:08,240
Speaker 1: even though it never really felt that close. Jaden Dolora

1549
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:11,439
Speaker 1: got away with a lot that I don't think he'll

1550
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:14,360
Speaker 1: be able to get away with against Oregon. The speed

1551
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:17,599
Speaker 1: is going to be just a massive, massive issue if

1552
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:19,240
Speaker 1: he tries to get out on the run the way

1553
01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 1: that he did um against Oregon being six ft one, Like,

1554
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 1: pray for him, because if Justin Flow is out there,

1555
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 1: he's not There is no off switch in that guy's brain.

1556
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:37,559
Speaker 1: He will there will be another quarterback coming in for

1557
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:41,960
Speaker 1: Jaden Dolora if Justin Flow can catch him. So um,

1558
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:44,400
Speaker 1: well he he actually has to get on the field

1559
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:46,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more first because he didn't play a

1560
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:49,040
Speaker 1: whole lot and in week in week one, they think

1561
01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 1: he'll get a little bit more playing time in week two,

1562
01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:57,520
Speaker 1: but it's it's Noah Seul who will be out there starting. Yeah, yeah,

1563
01:38:57,560 --> 01:39:03,120
Speaker 1: he's fantastic. Um, I don't know, I don't know. I

1564
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:07,920
Speaker 1: I want to say that I could see, with bad

1565
01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:14,559
Speaker 1: weather and a good running game, a chance for um

1566
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 1: Nikolovitch to to surprise some people but I don't. I

1567
01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:23,880
Speaker 1: think this is a two two touchdown win for Oregon. Um,

1568
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Ducks. I would say that this is

1569
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:32,439
Speaker 1: the game where the rubber meets the road for Oregon

1570
01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:35,679
Speaker 1: and you're gonna know what they're made out of. Even

1571
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:38,200
Speaker 1: though the weather is bad. If this is a three

1572
01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:41,040
Speaker 1: point win, seven point win, Ducks have no chance to

1573
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:43,599
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. Sorry, I hate to be to bear

1574
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:46,479
Speaker 1: of bad news. That's just the truth. If they come

1575
01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 1: out and they can blow the doors off of them, ammy,

1576
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 1: even though the weather is bad, like finish up with

1577
01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 1: a seventeen point victory. That'll be right in line with

1578
01:39:56,360 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 1: a market improvement, especially defensively from from last If if

1579
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:08,519
Speaker 1: they can win this game, you know, thirty five or

1580
01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 1: thirty eight. Actually, if they can win this game thirty

1581
01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:18,360
Speaker 1: eight to thirty eight to twenty, that would be a

1582
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:21,439
Speaker 1: good good win. But thirty eight to seventeen would would

1583
01:40:21,439 --> 01:40:25,479
Speaker 1: be the right and the right number for where they

1584
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:31,360
Speaker 1: really want and need to be. Um, I'm taking them

1585
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:35,240
Speaker 1: to cover to these ten points. The last game up Ralph,

1586
01:40:35,360 --> 01:40:40,400
Speaker 1: we have Utah Utah at u c l a Utah's

1587
01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:43,600
Speaker 1: favorite by three and a half points. We have not

1588
01:40:43,680 --> 01:40:47,360
Speaker 1: seen Utah play, so we don't know what to make

1589
01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:51,599
Speaker 1: of them. We do know what they're what their depth

1590
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:58,160
Speaker 1: chart says. And at quarterback they are either Drew List,

1591
01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 1: Jake Bentley or Camera and Rising. So we will see

1592
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:05,360
Speaker 1: one of them. And you know, obviously Jake Bentley has

1593
01:41:05,360 --> 01:41:09,840
Speaker 1: played the most games, so we will see. They got

1594
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:14,599
Speaker 1: the kid brom Bromfield in the running back and Wilmore. Um,

1595
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:19,320
Speaker 1: I like the kid Brian Uh, Brian Thompson at wide

1596
01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:25,479
Speaker 1: receiver and Britain Covey as well. He's solid. So and

1597
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:33,320
Speaker 1: of course your favorite Cole fothering him. Uh, don't gamble

1598
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:37,400
Speaker 1: on this game. If you're listening to this podcast, I mean,

1599
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if you really just need some action to

1600
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:42,680
Speaker 1: be able to like be invested in U c l

1601
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:45,720
Speaker 1: A Utah, then go ahead. But I'm telling you this,

1602
01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:49,160
Speaker 1: there's we don't know. We have no idea who's sick

1603
01:41:49,240 --> 01:41:51,960
Speaker 1: and who isn't. We have no idea who's going to travel.

1604
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:58,880
Speaker 1: We don't know anything. We don't know if if Dorian

1605
01:41:58,920 --> 01:42:02,599
Speaker 1: Thompson Robinson is going to be going up against Scout

1606
01:42:02,640 --> 01:42:06,240
Speaker 1: team players on the defensive side of the ball, and

1607
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:11,439
Speaker 1: we don't know if the quarterback room was affected by

1608
01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: whatever is going on at Utah either we have I

1609
01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:17,519
Speaker 1: don't know about you, George, I have no inside information

1610
01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:20,720
Speaker 1: whatsoever on this. I got a couple of sources with

1611
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:27,280
Speaker 1: the University of Utah program. They haven't said a word. Um.

1612
01:42:27,320 --> 01:42:33,400
Speaker 1: If you Tah is full ish strength, then they're gonna

1613
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:36,479
Speaker 1: they're gonna win. They're gonna be able to run the ball.

1614
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:38,800
Speaker 1: I think that that's going to be the strength of

1615
01:42:38,840 --> 01:42:42,200
Speaker 1: their team this year. Um. And defensively, all they have

1616
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 1: to do is make enough plays. Uh. But if if

1617
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 1: there's any issue with like if Willmore doesn't play, or

1618
01:42:50,439 --> 01:42:54,439
Speaker 1: if you know, if there's no Rising or Bentley and

1619
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 1: we're left to the we're left with the third quarterback.

1620
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:00,639
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think there's a chance

1621
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:04,720
Speaker 1: U c l A gets this done. So with no

1622
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:08,400
Speaker 1: knowledge of the situation and with absolutely zero confidence in

1623
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 1: the pick, I'm going with U c l A for

1624
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:12,800
Speaker 1: the second week in a row, which is always a

1625
01:43:12,840 --> 01:43:17,960
Speaker 1: bad idea. Yeah, Um, I am taking. I agree with

1626
01:43:18,040 --> 01:43:21,360
Speaker 1: everything you said about not knowing anything, and that's exactly

1627
01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:25,040
Speaker 1: why I'm taking the Bruins. You see it, I don't

1628
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:28,240
Speaker 1: even know how you how could Utah be favored by

1629
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:29,960
Speaker 1: three and a half points. They don't even have a

1630
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 1: full team right now, that's the more districts you're talking

1631
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:38,240
Speaker 1: about disrespect that's the most not Wednesday Night back twelve football.

1632
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 1: Three and a half point favorites over a over a

1633
01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:47,599
Speaker 1: school that might not have any players. Yeah, I'd agree

1634
01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:52,840
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, that's that's more. That's more disrespectable. Okay,

1635
01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:54,519
Speaker 1: so who do you who do you have in this game?

1636
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:56,280
Speaker 1: I got U c l A and U c l

1637
01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:59,639
Speaker 1: A on both sides of this. Yeah, I'm I'm I'll

1638
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:04,120
Speaker 1: roll that because I we don't even know. I mean,

1639
01:44:04,160 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 1: we're making the assumption that U c l A would

1640
01:44:06,439 --> 01:44:10,360
Speaker 1: beat air right like they'd be able to run plays

1641
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 1: in a practice and complete passes and not football. We're

1642
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:18,880
Speaker 1: just we're making We're left to assume absolutely nothing is

1643
01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:20,320
Speaker 1: going to be on the other side of the ball

1644
01:44:21,160 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 1: for the utes. And so because of that, even though

1645
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:27,880
Speaker 1: I like some of the pieces that Utah has offensively,

1646
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:32,479
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure about their defense. If if it's

1647
01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:37,519
Speaker 1: their defense, it's over because they were already gonna have

1648
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:42,440
Speaker 1: an issue. So if the issue is with their defense,

1649
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:45,080
Speaker 1: U c l A is gonna win. If the issue

1650
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:47,560
Speaker 1: is with Utah's offense, then how are they going to

1651
01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:53,519
Speaker 1: keep pace? It's got to be U c l A. Yeah,

1652
01:44:54,000 --> 01:45:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't see any other I guess tenable solution beside

1653
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:03,000
Speaker 1: it's picking U c l A. I just don't I

1654
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:06,160
Speaker 1: don't know how it even. I don't know, dude, I

1655
01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 1: don't know how there's even any I don't even know

1656
01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:13,080
Speaker 1: how Utah's favorite like that. That seems like the most

1657
01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:18,160
Speaker 1: disrespectful thing that I've ever that I've ever seen. Let's

1658
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:22,880
Speaker 1: see this in l A. Right, Yes, and it's yeah,

1659
01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean but it's you know, it's it's a rose ball.

1660
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:31,519
Speaker 1: It's quiet. Yeah, but there's a million jokes you can

1661
01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:34,160
Speaker 1: make right there. But the fact of the matter is

1662
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:42,639
Speaker 1: Utah historically is garbage in Los Angeles. M hm, well

1663
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 1: it's it's probably because of the Rockies. U c l A.

1664
01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:51,680
Speaker 1: Fans Um. Thank you guys so much for listening to
