Speaker 3: every game. Hold that thought, We'll get to it. Paging

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh. You know I want to take a minute

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: to tell you my favorite Jim Harbaugh story. As you know,

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: he's back in the.

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: News this week for multiple reasons.

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 3: Forty years ago this month, Jim Harbaugh was a red

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: shirt freshman at the University of Michigan, and he was

22
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: off to a very slow start, long before he became

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: the most efficient passer of the nation, long before he

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting long before he

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: went on to a fourteen year NFL career, plus his

26
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: coaching exploits, which have been quite successful. He was just

27
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 3: scared underclassman at Michigan. Red shirted his freshman year in

28
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: eighty two, maybe through four or five passes. The following

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: year barely got on the field. By the way, the

30
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four is red shirt sophomore year. After Game

31
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: four he broke his arm. So the following spring, in

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: March of eighty five, Jim Harball was contemplating his future

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: wasn't happy, and one day he was walking across campus

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: and in his peripheral vision he saw head coach bau Schambeckler,

35
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: who was the last person he wanted to see. So

36
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: he pretended he didn't see Coach Bow and picked up

37
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: his stride heading north, and Coach Bow made a b

38
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 3: line and says, jim Jimmy, Hey, well, hey, coach, how

39
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: you doing. What's going on Jimmy heading to class? Uh?

40
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, coach, yeah, coach? And uh.

41
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: Coach Bow squared up on Harbaugh and looked him up

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: and down, put his hand on his shoulders. What are

43
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 3: you waiting on, Jimmy? About two ten. It was about

44
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: two ten, two o seven. Coach Yeah, and then uh,

45
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: Coach Bow grabbed his shoulders. He says, you know, Jim,

46
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 3: you might end up being the greatest recruit I've ever

47
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: had in my eighteen years at the University of Michigan.

48
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: Or you could be the biggest mistake I ever met.

49
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: Turntail walked away. That was it, and nothing said. Harball

50
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: went back to his dorm room, laid on his bed

51
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: and tried to think what the hell was that? What

52
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 3: was out all about? And he said it took him

53
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 3: about two weeks and he finally realized and the light

54
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: bulb went off in his head. He said, I realize

55
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: now what Coach Bow was saying. My future, my future

56
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: here at Michigan. It's up to me. It's all in

57
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: front of me. It's up to me. It's been a

58
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: bizarre year for Michigan, and with the news that broke

59
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: in the last twenty four hours, at the end of

60
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: the day, it's up to Jim Harball hold that thought.

61
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 3: But first I want to just get something off my

62
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: chest because I couldn't scream it from the hilltops loud enough.

63
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: This guy was sixty three and seventy nine as his starter,

64
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: sucked in the red zone, sucked down third down when

65
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: it didn't matter, he was pretty good when it mattered.

66
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: He never came through, never won a playoff game, and

67
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 3: always made dumb speeches before and after the game and

68
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: during the week, the most boring guy in front of

69
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: a microphone. Now, before everybody blames Foster Moreau last night

70
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: for what happened at the end of the game, you know,

71
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: you might want to consider the events that led up

72
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: to that. Derek Carr was three of eighteen on third down.

73
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: At one point, he'd gone twenty four straight drives without

74
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: a single touchdown. He had the devastating pick six, which is,

75
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 3: by the way, Carson brutal in the red zone. Again

76
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 3: this year, the Saints rank thirtieth. So maybe consider the

77
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: poor play of the quarterback that staked the Saints to

78
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: a twenty four to six deficit in the first place. Yeah,

79
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 3: just a thought, and that will conclude the Derek Carr

80
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: segment of the show. You already know, Please, you already know. Now,

81
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 3: let's get back to Michigan and the question that will

82
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: be on people's minds. Who is Connor Stallion's I spend

83
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: considerable a lot of time with my Michigan rules on

84
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 3: the phone this morning. They're very defensive about what's about

85
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 3: to take place here. It's already been a bizarre year

86
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: all right. On the field, some people think Michigan's the

87
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: best team in football. Will see they look damn good.

88
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: They haven't played a great schedule, but they haven't fumbled

89
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: it either. They're seven or zero with a twenty nine

90
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: point margin of victory. But if you're going to tell

91
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: the whole story, in Jim harboss tenure, he's won in

92
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: six in Bowl games two and five again Stohouse State

93
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: and knowing too in the playoffs. But I digress. Michigan

94
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: does have a loaded roster. But now they're being accused

95
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: of stealing opponents' science and in the process, we don't

96
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: know Michigan may have broken INCA rules. See the legality.

97
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 3: I'm not going to take signs in this one. I'm

98
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: going to tell you what I think I know. From

99
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: an objective viewpoint, the legality of stealing signs is fairly murky.

100
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: If you can watch an opposing coach and deduce the call,

101
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 3: go for it. If you can intercept in game communications, however,

102
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: that's against the rules. See, but what's illegal is in

103
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: person scouting of future opponents. Is what's at stake here.

104
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 3: Michigan is being accused of, and this is a quote

105
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: utilizing a vast network to steal opposing team signs. Now,

106
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: the Big Ten apparently allegedly claims they have credible evidence

107
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: of wrongdoing. No material has been presented in Michigan yet,

108
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 3: And of course this comes weeks after coach Charbas served

109
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 3: a three game suspension for allegedly lined NCAA officials. He

110
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 3: denied having any awareness of cheating and cheeseburgers and all

111
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff that he walked it back and

112
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: then he denied it.

113
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: Okay.

114
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: So the truth is Michigan does parade itself as the

115
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: paradign of morality. So clearly there's a palpable sensible I

116
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: know among Michigan State folks, but among a lot of

117
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: people as well. Starball is, inspite all of his success,

118
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 3: is pissed off a lot of people along the way.

119
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: So now we technically have two scandals at Michigan. So

120
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,119
Speaker 3: where do we go from here? I don't know, home dinner,

121
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: maybe a show. Extremely unclear where we go from here?

122
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 3: This could be a big nothing burger, or this could

123
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: be a massive scandal. It's not about some nefarious recruit

124
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: to a player or payment excuse me, you know, some

125
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: kind of payment to a player. It's on field cheating

126
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 3: again allegedly, and wouldn't you know at the timing is

127
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: just delicious. It all comes two days before Michigan visits

128
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: Michigan State. This is in a nasty rivalry. They got

129
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: a big brawl last year and by the way, for

130
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: school went home. If you are to mean to interrupt you,

131
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: you know you probably didn't realize in the last fifteen games,

132
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: Michigan State's beating Michigan ten of those fifteen games.

133
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: So Spartan.

134
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: This whole thing about Spartan officials telling you know, NCAA

135
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: that they were considering not playing this game. Okay, they're

136
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: gonna play. It's a night game, kickoff seven thirty Eastern.

137
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: And I think this is a much watch for multiple

138
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 3: reasons now not just the usual reasons. And again it's

139
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 3: it's murky, but apparently what's at steak. Here is a

140
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: little known rule in nineteen ninety four. Before nineteen ninety four,

141
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: you could send a scout to scotch your future opponent live.

142
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about exchanging game film. Hell, we even

143
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 3: do that in high school. We did that in high

144
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 3: school for krannat Loud. And the reason the rule went

145
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: away is because it was considered a has versus have

146
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: nots luxury and you know, maybe the Daytons and the

147
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: Bowling Greens of the world couldn't afford it where the

148
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: power five schools could, so there would They didn't want

149
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 3: there to be an unfair advantage, So that real went

150
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 3: away in nineteen ninety four. Now, I don't know where

151
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: this goes, but what maybe will come out of this is,

152
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: here's the thought, why not start using nfs in the

153
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: NFL style MIC's in the helmets, especially at the par

154
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: five level. All Right, there is a lot of reportage

155
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: on this. There's a lot of unknowns, and there are

156

Speaker 3: a gentleman and walking encyclopedia. Plethora of knowledge. We had

189
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: them on our show prior to the beginning of college

190

Speaker 3: football season. Now we're seven weeks in and he's got

191
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 3: even more dated to share. Say hello to Wager Talks,

192
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: Ralph Michaels, Ralph Howay.

193
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 5: Buddy, Bernie, good evening. Always a pleasure to talk college

194
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 5: football with you.

195
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: Right back at you.

196
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: I've really been looking forward to this because there's so

197
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 3: many storylines to dive into. So let's start with some

198
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: of college football's biggest current streaks and your takeaways.

199
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 5: You know, it's when you look at teams that are hot.

200
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 5: When you see top ten teams that are winning like Oklahoma,

201
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 5: you see inflated lines. But when you see teams like

202
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 5: Miami of Ohio and UNLB, they tend to have much

203
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 5: more value. If we look at the teams that currently

204
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 5: have covered at least six straight games, they include Miami

205
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 5: of Ohio, Oklahoma, Penn State, who will talk about a

206
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 5: little bit later, UNLV and Oregon has covered six games

207
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 5: with a push in there. When you look at the

208
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 5: teams that have lost fail to cover at least five

209
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 5: straight games, there's often more value fading those teams because

210
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 5: the Vegas bandwagon doesn't jump on the losing teams as much.

211
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 5: Those ats losers of five straight cal Mississippi State, Southern Myths,

212
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 5: and Toledo Overs. As far as overs go, Vanderbilt has

213
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 5: played eight games. All eight games have gone over the total.

214
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 5: LSU is a team that's been on national TV quite often.

215
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 5: We know they have an incredible offense, horrific defense. Seven

216
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 5: straight overs for LSU, six straight overs for Utah State,

217
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 5: and five straight overs for Boise BYU Missouri and Western Michigan.

218
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 5: And as far as unders go, Syracuse with six straight

219
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 5: unders and both Troy and Tulane two. Lane's a little

220
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 5: bit of a shock to me with the offense they

221
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 5: have and a NFL level quarterback, but their defense is

222
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 5: played so well. Both the Trojans and the Green Waves

223
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 5: five straight unders.

224
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: Rock just a quick non secret. I'm glad you've brought

225
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: up to Lane. They're a nice team, just real quickly.

226
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: Some people I respect like North Texas plus the twenty

227
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 3: Saturday against Tulane.

228
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: Do you have an opinion on that game?

229
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 5: I actually do you know. On my website I give

230
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 5: out I have my plays for sale, which are my

231
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 5: top six plays for tomorrow, and then I give out

232
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 5: for free my next six plays in line and North

233
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 5: Texas was the game that was actually in the mix

234
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 5: for me. You look at the Mean Green offense. We

235
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 5: thought they would all apart and so many players left

236
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 5: them after spring that went to SEC schools. But this

237
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 5: offense five hundred and forty eight yards at FIU, five

238
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 5: hundred and sixty two yards at LA Tech, five point

239
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 5: thirty against dabbling Christians. Against Navy, they were only able

240
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 5: to run sixty nine plays against the option, but they

241
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 5: put up four hundred and seventy three yards. And against

242
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 5: Temple we saw Temple get crushed a Friday night. Yes

243
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 5: they're a bad team, but they still had five hundred

244
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 5: and twenty seven yards. So Chambler Rodgers doing a great job.

245
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 5: Sixty three point five percent completions with a twelve one ratio.

246
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 5: Mean Green clearly went of my surprise teams. I think

247
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 5: Tulane getting too much love because of all their success

248
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 5: last year, and so many people had North Texas down

249
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 5: after the spring practices value to me On the main green.

250
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: Tat of the rock, Michaels with Wager Talk formerly GM

251
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: of Phil Steel Publications. On the flip side of the coin,

252
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: let's talk about the teams that are undefeated, and I

253
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: know we've got the usual suspects, you know, Florida State,

254
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan. Talk about

255
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: when these teams finally lose. Ralph And by the way,

256
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: I encourage people who download the podcast after Patrick posts

257
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 3: it tonight because Ralph's information is so rich in texture,

258
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: You're going to you're gonna want to listen to it again.

259
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: Talk about the bubble bursting nature when a team loses

260
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: and how they fare the next week against the spread.

261
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 5: Well, there's a lot of times that I tweet out

262
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 5: stats that are wow stats and eighty and ninety percent

263
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 5: and this isn't one of them, but it's something that

264
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 5: many people don't think about. And again, my goal when

265
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 5: I do these shows anyone to give out picks. They

266
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 5: might win, they might lose, but I really enjoy giving

267
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 5: out information to help betters become better Betters. You know

268
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 5: it sounds clear, Shay, but I want people to think

269
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: about situations they might not think about. Number one is

270
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 5: bubble burst. You can go all the way.

271
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 6: Back to nineteen eighty nine, and when you look at

272
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 6: game number eight and higher, so your team has gone

273
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 6: through at least seven games they are undefeated, but after

274
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 6: game seven, game eight and.

275
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 5: Higher, if they're off their first loss. With the season again,

276
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 5: going all the way back to nineteen eighty nine, in

277
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 5: almost three hundred games of sample size, they've only covered

278
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 5: forty four point nine percent. And again you might say,

279
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 5: well that's not a great record. But these trends and

280
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 5: systems and situations we give you are all just part

281
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 5: of how you handicap football. You look at the statistical profiles,

282
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 5: you look at the matchups, you look at the situations,

283
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 5: the travel, the coaching history, and then you add in

284
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 5: these trends and angles to make a play stronger. So

285
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 5: USC is in that role today, USC off their first loss,

286
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 5: and next week, Louis those go on to buy this week,

287
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 5: but they'll be in that role. So it's certainly a

288
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 5: negative check mark for those teams making the first loss.

289
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 5: The interesting thing, Bernie will be next year with the

290
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 5: expanded playoffs, the first loss won't be as important with

291
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 5: the expanded playoffs because you'll still be able to bounce back.

292
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 5: But with the playoff system as is, it has been

293
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 5: a safe situation.

294
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: Talk with Ralph Michael's wager talk Ralph, great stuff now

295
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 3: one of the great staples of our society death taxes

296
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 3: and service academy unders. Of course, I believe Air Force

297
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 3: and Navy lockhorn Saturday. Your thoughts on what has certainly

298
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 3: become something to expect over the years.

299
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 5: When Air Force and Navy play usually in October, it

300
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 5: doesn't get the hype as Army and Navy does. And

301
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 5: when we get to December, how many tweets and how

302
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 5: many stories are going to see about how Army and

303
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 5: Navy have traditionally gone under the total. But if you

304
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 5: blindly look at all the service academies, this goes back

305
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 5: to two thousand and six. There have been fifty games

306
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 5: between Army, Air Force, and Navy when they face each

307
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 5: other for the Commander in Chief there have been ten

308
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 5: overs and forty unders. That is eighty percent to the under.

309
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 5: Just blindly betting every Commander in Chief trophy game under

310
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 5: the total, and it can get even better when the

311
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 5: line is seven and a half or higher, like it

312
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 5: is this week for Air Force Navy. Since two thousand

313
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 5: and six, there have been two overs and twenty unders.

314
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 5: That is ninety one percent to the under in that role.

315
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 5: So you know that's a system that's as strong as

316
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 5: it get. Does that mean I will blindly be the under?

317
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: No?

318
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: But will I ever bet the over in that situation.

319
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 5: It would take an immense situation for me to fade

320
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 5: a system that's been that sample size for that many years.

321
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 5: And it makes total sense. You know each other, you

322
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 5: practice against the option each time, you have the added

323
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 5: intensity of playing for the commander in chiefs Add all

324
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 5: those things in history percentage and makes perfect sense. It's

325
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 5: a situation I wouldn't fade.

326
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 3: Pay close attention, folks. Ralph Michael's one of a kind.

327
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 3: He gives you the why this is the important thing.

328
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 3: And interestingly enough for off, there's a game speaking of

329
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 3: unders Minnesota, Iowa. The total the send off line I

330
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 3: believe was thirty one and a half now down to

331
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: thirty and a half. I think you've got some historical

332
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: perspective on this and maybe some thoughts. It's incredible to

333
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 3: see a total in a college football game, be it

334
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 3: thirty and a half?

335
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 2: What's your key takeaway here?

336
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 5: The total? The college football totals in my database only

337
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 5: go back to two thousand and six. I shouldn't say

338
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 5: only because it's giving us a fair sample size, so

339
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 5: you know just the data I'm giving you is from

340
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 5: two thousand and six. Currently, the lowest total prior to

341
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 5: this year's Minnesota Iowa game was last year's Minnesota and

342
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 5: Iowa game, which was thirty one and a half. How

343
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 5: amazing is that to have these same teams back to

344
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 5: back years. Also last year in the bowl game Kentucky

345
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 5: and Iowa with thirty one and a half. Army Navy

346
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 5: was thirty two in twenty twenty two, and then we

347
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 5: go back to thirty three and a half and in

348
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 5: twenty twenty three Iowa Wisconsin. So I look at the

349
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 5: top ten lowest totals and Iowa is an eight of them,

350
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 5: Army Navy is one, and Vanderbilt Missouri was another. So

351
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 5: Spearnce's son is the OC he needed the average. I

352
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 5: believe it was twenty one points this year. That's not

353
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 5: going to happen for the Iowa. We'll be getting a

354
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 5: new OC there that was in his contract this year. Here, FYI,

355
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 5: of the nineteen games that have had a total of

356
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 5: thirty five or less since two thousand and six, five overs,

357
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 5: thirteen unders. That is seventy two point two percent to

358
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 5: the under guys. Those totals are that low for a reason.

359
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 3: You certainly will not see me rush into the winner

360
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 3: will play in the over. That game could be twelve

361
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: to ten. Ralph, I want to get to some key

362
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: matchups Oklahoma, ucf Obama, Tennessee, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State,

363
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 3: Penn State. Can you hang with us please? We got

364
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 3: to go to a quick update. Absolutely listening to Ralph

365
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: Michaels wager talk. Coming up, we'll dive into some specific

366
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: matchup Saturday. There's five games that I think has most

367
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: of our attention. But first let's go to our guy,

368
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 3: Kevin Figures with the update.

369
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: All right, Bernie.

370
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 7: In Major League Baseball on Friday, we have the NLCS

371
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 7: and ALCS played on Friday night in the National League.

372
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 7: That series is now tied at two games apiece after

373
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 7: Arizona rallied from a three run deficit to defeat Philadelphia

374
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 7: six to five. Gabrielle Moreno with the go ahead RBI

375
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 7: single on the top of the eighth off of Craig Kimbrough,

376
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 7: Paul Seawall picking up to save. Game five will be

377
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 7: on Saturday at eight eastern. Houston leads the Alcs three

378
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 7: games to two. After the Astros beat the Rangers five

379
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 7: to four, Jose al Tuve with a go ahead three

380
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 7: run home run in the top of the ninth. There,

381
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 7: h Town can close it out in Game six on

382
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 7: Sunday at eight eastern. You can watch that game on

383
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 7: FS one and the NFL News. Browns quarterback to Shawn

384
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 7: Watson was a full participant in practice on Friday, but

385
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 7: still listed as questionable for that game against the Colts

386
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 7: with a shoulder issue. The Bears will start rookie quarterback

387
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 7: Tyson Badget against Las Vegas, while the Raiders will start

388
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 7: veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer under center. Bill's defensive tackle Ed

389
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 7: Oliver will not play against the Patriots as he nurses

390
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 7: a toe injury. And in college football Friday night, smu

391
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 7: All over Temple fifty five to nothing.

392
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: Back to Bernie.

393
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: Freddle all right, thanks, Kevin Rock. Before we get to

394
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 3: the two games, that you have the strongest opinions. I

395
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: want to start my own stomping grounds. I covered this

396
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: rivalry fourteen times and Michigan State's catching twenty four I

397
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 3: believe it or not. Since two thousand and five, there's

398
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 3: only been a spread of over three touchdowns in this

399
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: rivalry three times, at Michigan State covered all three by

400
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 3: substantial margin. Obviously there's news as well heading into this game.

401
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts? I must be a full disclosure.

402
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 3: I grab Michigan State plus twenty four and a half

403
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 3: on Wednesday.

404
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 5: I have no option in the game. I made Michigan

405
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 5: a twenty seven point favorite, so obviously I leave them.

406
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 5: You now have all the added talk about Michigan State

407
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 5: maybe not playing because of safety and health concerns because

408
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 5: Michigan knows what their plays they're going to be. I mean,

409
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 5: that's really foolish. But I just struggle backing this Michigan

410
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 5: State team. You know, their offense the last four weeks

411
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 5: has gone from seven to nine to sixteen to twenty

412
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 5: four points. But even the twenty four points they had

413
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 5: at Rutgers last week was very misleading, as they only

414
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 5: had two hundred and forty five yards and two point

415
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 5: seven yards per carrie. Right now, I have this Michigan

416
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 5: team as my number one power rated team in the country,

417
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 5: and I look at an offense with JJ McCarthy, and

418
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 5: if you're completing seventy eight percent with fourteen touchdowns and

419
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 5: three interceptions, it's likely because you can run the ball

420
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 5: and your offense puts you in great spots. Well, if

421
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 5: I have a team that rushes for one hundred and

422
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 5: eighty two yards and four point nine yards per carrie

423
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 5: and the defense every opponent they face they've held to

424
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 5: a season low or a season number two low, they're

425
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 5: a top twelve team as far as holding boths under

426
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 5: their average. And I think Michigan still has a feeling

427
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 5: that they need to prove themselves to Michigan State. As

428
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 5: you said, Bernie, this series has been close for all

429
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 5: those years. We had that little brother mentality where Michigan

430
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 5: State would have a bigger time playing Michigan. Michigan's Michigan's

431
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 5: rival of State and Michigan's rival is Ohio State, where

432
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 5: Michigan State's rival is Michigan, So that totally helps Michigan

433
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 5: State in that role. And you know there was four

434
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 5: upsets in a matter of seven years there. But in

435
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 5: my book, again a very light opinion. I just can't

436
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 5: stay this Michigan team, the way the defense is playing

437
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 5: right now, allowing two hundred and thirty three yards and

438
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 5: only eleven point seven first downs per.

439
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 3: Game, all done banking on that methodical offense. In good

440
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 3: memory two thousand and seven, I was there when Mike

441
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 3: Hart made the Little Brother comment. Mark D'Antonio said, pride

442
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: comes before the fall, believe it or not. Michigan State

443
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 3: ten and five in the series since so it's up

444
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 3: to Penn State, Ohio State. James Franklin. We only's got

445
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 3: a body of work. He plays just well enough to

446
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 3: lose in these big games. Your thoughts on.

447
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 5: Saturday, Well, you know the one thing he does he

448
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 5: has certainly kept his alumni happy, you know, covering twelve

449
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 5: straight games. And remember earlier this year. Earlier this year

450
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 5: in the West Virginia opener, they are up what eighteen,

451
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 5: and he calls time out with five seconds to go

452
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 5: with his backup quarterback to push in to get both

453
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 5: to cover and the over in right games. So, yes, sir,

454
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 5: there are some coaches that know to spread. Yes, they

455
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 5: do try to cover now he did the proper thing.

456
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 5: He would have completely gotten blasted had he left in

457
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 5: his starting quarterback and scored that touchdown. But if you

458
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 5: bring a backup, I mean every coach is going to

459
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 5: tell you, hey, we want the backups to play and

460
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 5: get experience, and that's part of the process. So you know,

461
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 5: he covered his butt on that end. I went to

462
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 5: my database, Bernie, and I looked at regular season top

463
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 5: ten matchups and I found something very interesting because this

464
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 5: line is four and a half. I have not checked

465
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 5: in the last few hours. I'm checking the wager to

466
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 5: out there now. Okay, so listen to this. When I

467
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 5: go back since two thousand and eight, and when you

468
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 5: have two top ten teams that match up, if the

469
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 5: favorite is a favorite of five or more, the favorite

470
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 5: has covered fifty seven point three percent. When it's a

471
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 5: small favorite meaning minus one to minus four and a half,

472
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 5: the favorite has covered only thirty four point two percent.

473
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 5: Now it's I'm not really helping you pick a side

474
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 5: with that because the numbers at four and a half

475
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 5: and five, But I just want people again to learn

476
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 5: the data in the next situation. So those are regular

477
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 5: season top ten teams and one thing stands out to me.

478
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 5: Penn State's numbers aren't credible, but their strength of schedule

479
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 5: is pathetic this year, and I just don't see them

480
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 5: with a young red shirt freshman quarterback going on the

481
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 5: road to Ohio State. This Penn State team their five

482
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 5: fbsfos this season, West Virginia number seventy seven in offense,

483
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 5: Illinois number eighty four, Iowa one thirty three, dead last,

484
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 5: Northwestern one twenty two, and UMass eighteen. They have not

485
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 5: seen any talent like Ohio State. And Ohio State surprised

486
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 5: me last week putting up four hundred and eighty six

487
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 5: yards on the road against Perdue. They were missing their

488
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 5: top three running backs and they were missing Abuka and

489
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 5: Harrison was banged up. Both Harrison, Abuca, Denzel Burke their

490
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 5: best corner and Mylon Williams are likely to go this week.

491
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 5: With that level of NFL talent playing against the foe

492
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 5: that has yet to be tested away from Hume, I

493
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 5: have to lean Ohio State.

494
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: Duly noted, duly noted.

495
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: Let's flip Tobama Tennessee Nick Sabon lane in at eight

496
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 3: and a half nine depending where you shop, his defense

497
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 3: rounding into form you've got some thoughts on a first

498
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: half play in this game.

499
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 8: I do.

500
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 5: And while the series has gone over and you look

501
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 5: at and you look at the series, it's been very

502
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 5: high scoring and Tennessee has not done anything to slow Alabama.

503
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 5: But let's remember this, both Alabama and Ohio State are

504
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 5: basically in the same boat. You had a six to

505
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 5: seven eight year run with NFL quarterbacks back there. So

506
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 5: while Jalen Milroe is completing sixty four percent with eleven

507
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 5: to four ratio, it's not the same as in twenty

508
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 5: twenty two when you have Bryce Young twenty twenty one,

509
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 5: Bryce Young twenty twenty, Max Jones and Bryce Young twenty nineteen, Tua,

510
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 5: Max Jones and Tualia And then again it goes all

511
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 5: the way back for seven years for Alabama. One of

512
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 5: the most amazing stats that I took note of this week.

513
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 5: There are one hundred and thirty three FBS teams. Alabama

514
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 5: is number one thirty, allowing thirty one sacks on the season.

515
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 5: Having a Nick saban O line and quarterback situation that

516
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 5: has allowed more sacks than all but three teams in

517
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 5: college football is a complete concern. When you look at

518
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 5: the d lines Between Tennessee and Alabama, they are number

519
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 5: three and number five in defensive sacks. Tennessee has twenty

520
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 5: four sacks, a sacks of quarterback once every twelve percent

521
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 5: of the time the quarterback drops back. Alabama twenty six sacks.

522
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 5: They get a sack twelve point two percent of every

523
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 5: drop back pass. And you look at two teams that

524
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 5: want to establish the run. Tennessee is averaging thirty nine

525
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 5: rushes per game, Alabama also averaging thirty nine runs per game.

526
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 5: You're going to want to try to establish the line

527
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 5: of scrimmage early. You're gonna want these young quarterbacks to

528
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 5: not make mistakes. I have under in the first half.

529
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 5: Total was twenty four. I think I saw a twenty

530
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 5: three and a half sneak in there. But I do

531
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 5: like under in the first half. Tennessee Alabama, I do too.

532
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: And I think they're gonna give Joe Milton fits and

533
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: I think he'll end up getting bench. He couldn't play

534
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 3: at Michigan out of think he can play. A guy

535
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 3: who can play is Oklahoma's quarterback. They're hosting Central Florida.

536
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,479
Speaker 3: What's interesting, Ralph is after this, I believe Oklahoma goes

537
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 3: down the road twice Kansas and then battle them, and

538
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 3: of course they're coming off their big win in the

539
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 3: Red River Showdown. But I don't expect a letdown here

540
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: from Oklahoma Saturday. But what are your thoughts in Oklahoma

541
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: Central Florida.

542
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 5: I do like Oklahoma in this game. Now you look

543
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 5: at UCF and you go, wow, they've lost three straight games.

544
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 5: They got to Kansas State, they get out gained by

545
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty nine yards. They're a favorite against Baylor,

546
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 5: and they allow a historic comeback. Remember against Baylor to

547
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 5: were up twenty eight to seven, they even extended that

548
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 5: lead and Baylor scored the last twenty nine points I believe,

549
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 5: So that was a horrible loss. Then you get to Kansas,

550
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 5: you're an away favorite, and you get out gained by

551
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 5: one hundred and nineteen yards. So your defense the last

552
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 5: three games five hundred and thirty six yards, four forty

553
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 5: six and four ninety. Now John Rys Plumbley was hurt

554
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 5: for all three of those games. He is bad. They

555
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 5: did have a buye, so you are going to see

556
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 5: an improved UCS offense. But again, this is now Plumbley's

557
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 5: first game back. He's going to have to go on

558
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 5: the road. And remember, I don't think people make a

559
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 5: big enough deal about when a team like UCF steps

560
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 5: up in class joining a new conference. The opponents that

561
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 5: travel the UCF really are only seeing one new stadium

562
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 5: a year. UCF road games, they went to Boys, the

563
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 5: facility they've never been to. They go to Kansas State

564
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 5: four games ago, a facility they've never been to. They

565
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 5: went to Kansas prior to the break and go out.

566
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 5: So now you're playing in front of eighty thousand people.

567
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 5: I made this show that another radio show. You look

568
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 5: at UCF's road games last year sau East, Carolina, Memphis, Tulane,

569
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 5: and USF. You might be able to add the entire

570
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 5: attendance for all five of those teams, and they may

571
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 5: see more fans tomorrow in one game facing that. So

572
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 5: I think UCF off defense is going to be in

573
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 5: trouble against this Oklahoma defense. The Oklahoma offense has been spectacular.

574
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 5: Of their six games, they've had a season high and

575
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 5: five of them and their defense. While they allowed five

576
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 5: hundred and twenty seven yards to Texas, that's Texas. They're

577
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 5: still a top twenty five team as far as averaging

578
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 5: more yards per game than their opponents to law. I

579
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 5: do like the Sooners than this, and.

580
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 9: I have.

581
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 5: I have two situations that I want to mention to you. Oklahoma.

582
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 5: Oklahoma in a spot where they are off of by

583
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 5: they want as a dog, and now they're a home

584
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 5: favorite of eleven or more. Those teams have covered over

585
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 5: seventy three percent in that role. So you said you

586
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 5: don't think there's a letdown in Oklahoma, I don't either.

587
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 5: You have a coach in Venable that completely believes in

588
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 5: his team, have them playing with confidence. I think they

589
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 5: win and cover.

590
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: Stuff.

Speaker 3: I covered fourteen of them.

00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio Come to life from the tarat dot

646
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 3: Com Studios here in Las Vegas. Saturday night, seven thirty Eastern,

647
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 3: one of the most heated rivalries in college football will

648
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 3: duke it out on the field. Michigan State will host

649
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 3: to Michigan as a twenty four and a half point underdog.

650
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 3: You heard me talking with Rolph. Believe it or not,

651
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 3: Michigan has won every game by at least twenty five

652
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 3: points this season. But I'm banking on a little bit

653
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 3: of a methodical law offense that doesn't build significant margin.

654
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 2: You add the new.

655
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 3: Clock rules and turnovers short fields. Look, the Wolverines have

656
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 3: benefited from in their earlier schedule against teams like East Carolina,

657
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 3: UNLV un if he's not bad by the way, Bowling Green, Rutgers, Nebraska, Minnesota, Indiana. Okay, Well,

658
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 3: I'm just having a hard time believing that they can

659
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 3: go on the road. And I've seen enough of these

660
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 3: you expect the unexpected. Michigan State will give it their all. Now,

661
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 3: I get that they have screwed the pooch against Rutgers

662
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,479
Speaker 3: in Maryland and Iowa, but they controlled all those games,

663
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: so they got to the mid of the fourth order.

664
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 3: They've been a bit of a rentless ship. And by

665
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 3: the way, Michigan State schedule has been actually tougher. Their

666
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 3: four losses have come against teams with a combined twenty

667
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 3: two to five record. So if Michigan State doesn't turn

668
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 3: over the ball. I think this game.

669
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 2: Listen. Do I think Michigan's gonna win by double digits? Likely?

670
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 2: But I think they're gonna win by more than three touchdowns.

671
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 3: Based on history, based on observations, based on knowing how

672
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 3: highly charged this series is. I feel like I'm in

673
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 3: good shape with twenty four and a half points. I

674
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 3: know the perception would be different if the Spartans didn't

675
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 3: blow late leads in each of their past two games

676
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 3: on the road Againstdwyn Rutgers. Then they got outscored thirty

677
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 3: four to nothing in the second half, were in the

678
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 3: fourth quarter after holding both of those teams to thirteen

679
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 3: and six points through three quarters, respectively. Okay, that's a

680
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 3: huge red flag, but a major reason that Michigan State

681
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 3: keeps blowing these leads well, if you've seen the games,

682
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 3: they're self inflicted wounds, penalties, turnover, special teams, blunders, and

683
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 3: so the Spartans are a little They're not as horrible

684
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 3: as people think. They're not great. So I expect Sparta

685
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 3: to come out with their hair and fire. They're gonna

686
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 3: throw everything in the kitchen sink. This is Michigan State

687
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: super Bowl. I don't think They're going to put a

688
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 3: scare into the Wolverines, you know, even though, like I've said,

689
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 3: you know, Michigan State's gotten them in the last few years,

690
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 3: but they're you know, Michigan's pole rated number one by

691
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 3: a lot of people I respect for a reason. However,

692
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 3: I think they can get off to a decent start,

693
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 3: hanging around and hanging inflated number. And I think it's

694
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 3: going to be a low scoring game, I honestly do,

695
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 3: which leads typically to the dog. Remember, since two thousand

696
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 3: and five, you've only seen Michigan lay three touchdowns over

697
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 3: Michigan State three times. All three instances, Michigan State covered

698
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 3: by an average margin of about thirteen points. Coming up,

699
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 3: we continue heavily into college football. Keep it locked You

709
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 3: we're going to dive into the Major League Baseball playoffs.

710
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 3: A lot of folks thought Philly was invincible. That's why

711
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 3: you could get a ticket in Arizona for eleven dollars

712
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 3: in game three. Now, looky here, we got ourselves a series.

713
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: I'll get into it top of the hour at one

714
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 3: o'clock and bring in the crew as well, get their

715
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 3: thoughts and don't look now, the Astros are one one

716
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 3: away from going to their fifth World Series in seven years.

717
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 3: Trouble is they're under five hundred at home. Can't make

718
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 3: this stuff up?

719
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: All right?

720
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 3: Finally, you know, the good news about college football is

721
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 3: when it rolls around even week zero, you're so excited

722
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 3: to see it, but you have so many nondescript games

723
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 3: and again they've bagged down Michigan schedule, et ceterup. So

724
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 3: finally we finally got a game that's got real, genuine

725
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 3: national interest and of course Big Noon Saturday will be

726
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 3: there in Columbus and you know, to top seven teams.

727
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 3: And the only bad news is that is that then,

728
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 3: by the way, it's right out of the gate, not

729
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: in Pacific noon Eastern. The only issue is at Penn

730
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 3: State's recent football history against Ohio State. Well, I guess

731
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 3: you could.

732
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 2: Say it's deplorable. That means bad.

733
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 3: But if somehow the Nitney Lions can find a way

734
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 3: to steal a victory Saturday in Columbus.

735
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 2: Later today, they'll be in.

736
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 3: Position to have their best season in many, many, many years. Now,

737
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 3: Penn State enters the game their ranked number seventh Ohio

738
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 3: State's number three.

739
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 2: The buck Eyes, as you know by now, have won

740
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 2: the last.

741
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 3: Six meetings, ten of the last eleven, and that's usually

742
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 3: turned the Big Ten East into a two team race

743
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 3: between Ohio State and Michigan. Now, of course, the buck

744
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,839
Speaker 3: Eyes and the Wolverines they finished in the top two

745
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 3: of their division rankings are standings and for the last

746
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 3: six seasons. So if Penn State has dreams of a

747
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 3: Big Ten title or even more this season, our buddy

748
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 3: Aaron Torris predicted Penn State would be in the final four.

749
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 2: He might be right. Here's a chance for.

750
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 3: Them to make a large stride because on November eleventh,

751
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 3: Penn State gets Michigan at home. Ohio State's got to

752
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 3: go to Michigan, but pull that thought. The truth of

753
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 3: the matter is Penn State winning this game is a

754
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 3: real possibility. I don't I'm not saying I'm predicting it,

755
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 3: but it's a real possibility.

756
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 2: We get it.

757
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 3: Penn State's cruise to the first half of their schedule.

758
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 3: They've won five of their six games by at least

759
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 3: twenty one points. They beat Iowa thirty one to nothing

760
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 3: on September twenty third. That's starting to look and creely impressive.

761
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 3: Not because they held that Hawkeye's offense, which couldn't score

762
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 3: in a how Seville repute with a fist full of fifties.

763
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 3: They shut them out, held them scoreless. But Penn State

764
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 3: that day put up thirty one points on a defense

765
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 3: that has allowed only more than one offensive touchdown and

766
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 3: only one other game this season. Iowa's defense is legit.

767
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 3: Penn State put up thirty one points on them, and

768
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 3: I get that. They're not explosive, and they're not particularly dynamic,

769
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 3: and the arm methodical, the physical and the physical upfront

770
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 3: on both sides of the ball and the trenches.

771
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 2: I get it. Penn States wins. They haven't been real flashy.

772
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 3: But what Penn State has been and this matters in

773
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 3: college football is they've shown tremendous consistency. They've shown excellent

774
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 3: consistency for six straight weeks. That's their recipe for victory

775
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 3: Saturday later today, if they're going to beat Ohio State.

776
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 3: Being them there in twenty sixteen, they turn the game

777
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,919
Speaker 3: on a block punt in a rainstorm, in a nighttime game,

778
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 3: I remember it like yesterday. Now, if Penn State's gonna

779
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 3: do the same things they've done, this means the following.

780
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 2: They've got to play a ball control offense.

781
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 3: You just churn out the moderate games, minimize mistakes, keep

782
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 3: the ball out of Ohio State's dynamic offense. By the way,

783
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 3: this Ohio State offense is not as great in past years.

784
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 3: Their defense is probably better than in past years. But

785
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 3: this house. If this Ohio State team looks different to you,

786
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 3: it's because they are. They're better defensively than they've been

787
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 3: maybe at any time during the Ryan Day era, but

788
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 3: maybe not as dynamic offensively, even though they they've got

789
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 3: their share, but they're banged up too. So if Penn

790
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 3: State can play a ball control field position game, move

791
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 3: the chains, minimize mistakes, that's course very cliche. They've also

792
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 3: got to play an airtight defense, keep Ohiose State out

793
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 3: of the red zone, make him earn everything, take away

794
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 3: the chunk plays. All this sounds like, you know, platitudes, right,

795
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 3: and maybe if they can turn them over once, just once,

796
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 3: or maybe even twice, and then maybe if Penn State

797
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 3: can come up with a big special teams play that's

798
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 3: exactly what happened in twenty sixteen. The key is Penn

799
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 3: State really has to win the field position battle. This

800
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 3: will not be an easy formula because Penn State does

801
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 3: not make a lot of splash plays on offense. Yes

802
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 3: they're six to zero, Yes they're routing teams. Yes they've

803
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 3: been impressive on both sides of the ball. But Penn

804
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 3: State is one hundred and twenty nine out of one

805
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty three teams nationally in scrimmage plays of

806
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 3: twenty yards or more, and they're dead last in plays

807
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 3: of forty plus yards or more. That's a little perplexing

808
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 3: because their quarterback Drew Aller, you know we were told

809
00:46:54,239 --> 00:47:00,479
Speaker 3: is all that he is good? Okay, but Franklin coach Franklin, look,

810
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 3: he doesn't I don't think he minds having a methodical

811
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 3: offense as long as he protects his quarterback, drew Allers

812
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 3: Prize quarterback and keeps that streak going of two hundred

813
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 3: and forty one passes without a single interception.

814
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 2: That matters.

815
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 3: So discretion is the better part of alor when you are,

816
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 3: you know, coaching a first season in a quarterback where

817
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 3: there's great expectations, and sometimes that means it might not

818
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 3: be sexy, it might not be exciting, might not be dynamic.

819
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 3: But they don't draw pictures on the scorebook at the

820
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 3: end of the year. They don't when it comes to

821
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 3: the adding up your wins. They don't ask Hole, just

822
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 3: Tom Annie. So if Penn State has to check down

823
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 3: and they have to dump off or throw away balls

824
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 3: to live and fight another day, that's what they do.

825
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 2: Because their margin of error, especially on a highly.

826
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 3: Charged environment like this in the Horseshoe, is going to

827
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 3: be far less than Ohio State.

828
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 2: Ohio State's primary advantage.

829
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 3: I think you'd be fair to agree, it would be

830
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 3: fair to assume and agree Ohio States faced more, They

831
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 3: faced tougher.

832
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 2: Challenges this year than Penn State has.

833
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 3: Right they ground out that seventeen fourteen fist fighting the

834
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 3: phone booth against Notre Dame in South Bend back on

835
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 3: September twenty third, and you know, they got behind against

836
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 3: Maryland a couple of weeks ago, and then they pulled away,

837
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 3: and only pulled away. They beat Maryland, a pretty petsky

838
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 3: Maryland team thirty seven to seventeen, and they trailed and

839
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 3: at one point they were tied at seventeen, but boy

840
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 3: did they close them out. So Penn State, frankly has

841
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 3: yet to face a team this season that really comes

842
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 3: close to that level of talent, whether it be Notre Dame,

843
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 3: whether it be Maryland, or certainly Ohio State. So who's

844
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,879
Speaker 3: gonna win? Well, look, obviously Ohio State is at home.

845
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 3: They're the betting favorite. The line was four and a half,

846
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 3: the line is now five. That's expected the games in

847
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 3: Columbus for crying out loud, and I got a weird

848
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 3: feeling about this game though I haven't bet at how

849
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 3: I'm always honest about who I'm on, whom I'm not

850
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 3: on the total I'm not on the side I still

851
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 3: want to touch it. I don't want to touch it.

852
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 3: But there are bits of people I trust that think

853
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 3: the Nittany Lions are gonna win. Pat forty has been

854
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 3: covering college football for a long time. I don't know

855
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 3: what his track record is in handicapping. He's picking the

856
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 3: Nittney Lions. Why let's say the best for last. Penn

857
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 3: State's got a hell of a defense. No, we don't

858
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 3: know to the degree they've truly been tested, but it's ferocious,

859
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 3: especially the front seven, and from people I've talked to,

860
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 3: Ohio State may have real issues trying to block Penn

861
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 3: State's front seven. They may get to McCord. Penn State

862
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 3: may get to McCord, they may hit him, they may

863
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 3: sack and we have to see what happens. Ohio State's

864
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 3: running attack has been well below standard in past years,

865
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 3: which means they could be into being one dimension. Penn

866
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 3: State has a ferocious defense. Right, Finally, a game that

867
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 3: has national interest. You wake up on the West coast

868
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 3: not am, kickoff noon, and by mid afternoon the Big

869
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 3: Ten East will have taken a turn and we'll see

870
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 3: who has perhaps given themselves an upper hand in marching

871
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 3: towards the Big Ten championship game and then possibly even

872
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 3: more including the playoffs.

873
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: But fortunately that's not the only game Saturday, or I

874
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 2: think there's real interest.

875
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, Saturday's games will kind of

876
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 3: take on a personality of its own.

877
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: You heard us talk about.

878
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 3: Little Brother Michigan State, Michigan with Ralph Michaels.

879
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 2: You all know the story back in two thousand and seven.

880
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 2: You know, we get no respect little Brother, blah blah blah.

881
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 3: What's interesting is I've identified multiple games, including actually Ohio State,

882
00:50:56,239 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 3: Penn State, and where one team in one school and

883
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 3: one coach not a dot my mind, including the student

884
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 3: body and the fan base, looks at their opponent and says,

885
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 3: you think you're better than us, you don't respect us.

886
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 3: And actually there's an element of that to Penn State.

887
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 2: Ohio Stape.

888
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 3: But not just that, Michigan, Michigan State, Tennessee, Alabama, certainly Texas,

889
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 3: Houston and even Utah USC Why let's talk about that

901
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 3: five a m.

902
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 2: Eastern.

903
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 3: And there is an aspect to Saturday's games that I

904
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 3: find interesting, as you know, so much of sports is

905
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 3: bragging rights and respect and.

906
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 2: You know you're living rent free in my.

907
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:21,720
Speaker 3: Head and YadA YadA yah. Interestingly enough, there are multiple

908
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 3: games on the docket that I think fall into that category.

909
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,919
Speaker 3: So a quick PostScript on Penn State Ohio State. Okay,

910
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 3: James Franklin. He's won eighty four games at Penn State,

911
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 3: but only one was against Ohio State. He's lost to

912
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 3: the Buckeyes eight times, including six in a row. Now,

913
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 3: a lot of people have lousy records against Ohio State,

914
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 3: but Franklin's the coach at Penn State, and Penn State well,

915
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 3: their aspirations are to be like Ohio State or Michigan

916
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 3: at the top of the Big Ten. And this is

917
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 3: one of those years where Franklin just has to get

918
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:01,919
Speaker 3: the team there, buddy Joe Fortenball was talking to Paul

919
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 3: fine the baumb the other day. He says, is Franklin

920
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 3: gonna do it? Or is he gonna the dreadit mistake?

921
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 3: With the game in the line he goes and fine

922
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 3: Bomb says, book it.

923
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 2: So it's almost.

924
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 3: Become like a rite of passage where they play well,

925
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:18,320
Speaker 3: they play hard, they play it close, and something happens

926
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 3: and maybe James Franklin makes the decision and Penn State

927
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 3: falls just short. But if Penn State can play to

928
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:31,959
Speaker 3: their capabilities Saturday, look if Jim Harball finally after going

929
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 3: on in five solves the Ohio State problem, not once,

930
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 3: but twice in an impressive fashion, why can't James Franklin

931
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 3: do it?

932
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 2: Well?

933
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know. The bottom line is

934
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 3: it's pretty clear that I think Pence Ohio States and

935
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 3: Penn State's head and James Franklin's head as well. And look,

936
00:53:53,600 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 3: the Penn State is bringing everything that they need to

937
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:04,439
Speaker 3: win that game Saturday. The problem is when they play

938
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 3: Ohio State, they're minus seven in the turnover margin. They

939
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 3: just don't bring the I don't know why, but it's

940
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 3: this is a classic. You know, we get no respect,

941
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:19,439
Speaker 3: but that's because of what the results have been. Another game. Well,

942
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 3: Michigan Michigan State. Who's head? I mean, who's in whose head? Well,

943
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,399
Speaker 3: clearly I think Michigan is in Michigan State's head. That's

944
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 3: that's just the way it is. It's been that way

945
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 3: for one hundred years. I'm sure Michigan fans they very

946
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 3: pleased with themselves. They are very much in the upper tier.

947
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 3: But you know, Michigan States, you know, always poked Michigan

948
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 3: in the ribs and there's the tunnel brawl in the

949
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,879
Speaker 3: Big House. Last year, there were suspensions for eight spartans.

950
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:53,439
Speaker 3: There was widespread condemnation of the program at Michigan State.

951
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 3: There were the misadventures of mil Tucker, his suspension in

952
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 3: early September and then getting fired. Michigan State season has

953
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 3: just completely turned into a dumpster fire. And you know,

954
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 3: their chances of resurrectoring are slim and none and slim

955
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 3: light a left town. So what has to happen to

956
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 3: have maybe Michigan State get to mock them a respect.

957
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 2: Well, they gotta beat Michigan now. Is they got to happen?

958
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 3: It's unlikely, but this is a classic case of Nana

959
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,320
Speaker 3: n and we got the bragging rights.

960
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,240
Speaker 2: You know it. Don't act like you don't. You're renting.

961
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 3: You know, we were renting, spate, we're living in your head,

962
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 3: rent free as it were. For lack of a better analogy,

963
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 3: another game like that. And by the way, just like

964
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 3: I know he would, Nick Sabans figured it out. He's

965
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 3: got a long way to go. But they host Alabama,

966
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 3: they host Tennessee. Alabama host Tennessee on Saturday, and Alabama

967
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 3: is a nine point favorite. And interestingly enough though Tennessee

968
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 3: actually very much has Alabama's attention. All right, they'd been

969
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 3: dominating this rivalry. But guess what last year Tennessee turned

970
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 3: the tables on Nick saban and Alabama and Knoxville. It

971
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 3: was a very dramatic game. Of course, they had Hendon Hooker.

972
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 3: Then they don't have hen and Hooker anymore. And the

973
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 3: game is not at Neeland Stadium. They stormed the field,

974
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 3: and that's my understanding that it was very chaotic and

975
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 3: very scary as it were for Alabama players and their

976
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 3: staff to find a way to get off the field,

977
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:37,240
Speaker 3: get into the locker room, and uh, you know this,

978
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 3: this didn't get a lot of publicy last year. But

979
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 3: I think a lot of the administration in Alabama and

980
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 3: some of the SEC schools were not very happy with

981
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 3: Tennessee's president Randy Boyd's response for the way Tennessee violated

982
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 3: their safety protocols. He said, it doesn't matter. We're doing

983
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 3: this when you know we're going to do this when

984
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 3: when we want to every year. So look, I don't know,

985
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 3: you know about the old rush the field.

986
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 2: People do what they do.

987
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,399
Speaker 3: You know, Colorado did it against the one to four

988
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 3: Arizona State team.

989
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 2: But here's the deal.

990
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 11: Tennessee.

991
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 3: You can maybe say, for lack of a better cute analogy,

992
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 3: that they've got the possessionaire mentally temporarily with Alabama. But

993
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 3: Alabama could make that go away pretty quickly Saturday. All

994
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 3: they gotta do is win a game in Bryant Denny Stadium.

995
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 3: And then if I'm Alabama, don't storm on the field,

996
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 3: don't storm in the field. It's Tennessee, you should be Tennessee.

997
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 3: Your a nine point favorite. But again, that's another one

998
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 3: of those games that where you've got a situation where

999
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 3: one team is in the other's head. Same with Texas Houston, right,

1000
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 3: Houston will always be little brother to Texas. I mean,

1001
00:57:55,240 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 3: I don't mean to invoke that, but Houston as a coach, Danelon,

1002
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 3: he said, the feedback he's gotten from fans is, can

1003
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 3: you just please beat Texas. We don't care if you

1004
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 3: win any other game on the schedule, Just please beat Texas.

1005
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 3: We don't care if you go one to eleven. Just

1006
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 3: beat Texas. So what you've got is the classic you know,

1007
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 3: Hals versus have Nott's classic blue blood school that's been

1008
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 3: football royalty first century, probably damn near in Texas, versus

1009
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 3: the upstart underdog in their sister city three hours away

1010
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 3: in Houston, Texas has all the bravado, all the cockiness,

1011
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 3: they got the pedigree the Longhorns. Actually, by the way,

1012
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 3: they're leaving the Big twelve, of course, and they're heading

1013
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 3: to the SEC. And Texas actually helped Houston get into

1014
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 3: the league and get out of the Group of five.

1015
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 3: And Houston's had a good athletic program over the years.

1016
00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 3: Look at their basketball program. We'll be talking about that

1017
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 3: in a couple of weeks. You know, what the hell

1018
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 3: of a job they're doing. But this is still football, okay,

1019
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 3: And Houston is trying to navigate their way out of

1020
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 3: big Major Land and THENTO the big time and uh,

1021
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 3: you know, should Houston be Texas? And nothing surprises me

1022
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 3: and any and any you know team coached by Steve Sarkisian.

1023
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 3: But it's it's highly unlikely. It's not it's it's not impossible,

1024
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 3: but it's.

1025
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 2: Probably not real probable.

1026
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 3: I think the Cougars would love nothing more to upset

1027
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 3: the Longhorns. By the way, these two schools haven't even

1028
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 3: played since two thousand and two, and this may be

1029
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 3: the last time they ever play. But they're in state rivals.

1030
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 3: So there you have it. Finally Utah USC. No, Actually

1031
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 3: there's two more I want to get to. Well, who's

1032
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 3: who's really got the respector well? Utah beat USC twice

1033
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 3: land year and Lincoln Riley and Alex Greens their offensive

1034
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 3: their defensive coordinator.

1035
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 2: One of the things the Utes did last.

1036
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 3: Year is explodes, you know, the glaring flaw and what

1037
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 3: this makeover is supposed to have been for USC. He

1038
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 3: embarrassed the Trojans twice last year. Why you taw a

1039
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 3: physicaled USC last year? You taw in their game in

1040
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 3: Salt Lake City, they got they scored forty three points

1041
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 3: five hundred and sixty two yards. Then to prove that

1042
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 3: was no fluke, they put up forty seven more points

1043
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 3: than another five hundred and thirty three yards in the

1044
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 3: PAC twelve Championship game here in Las Vegas.

1045
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 2: Here's the bad news.

1046
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 3: USC's defense isn't any better this year than it was

1047
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 3: last year. The problem is Utah's offense is banged up,

1048
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 3: but they don't have their starting quarterback. This is an

1049
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 3: interesting game Saturday because the loser, I will guarantee you

1050
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 3: the loser of this game is out of the you know,

1051
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 3: football playoff race and very likely out of the PAC

1052
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 3: twelve Championship game race as well. Right, So what can

1053
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 3: Riley do to get some respect from from the folks

1054
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 3: in Utah?

1055
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 2: You better beat the US under seven point favorites.

1056
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 3: And again, Utah's without Cam Rising, but I gotta tell

1057
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 3: you they don't USC doesn't tackle, so I will see

1058
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 3: what happens.

1059
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 2: Finally, Washington State.

1060
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 3: Oregon the Cougars, right, well, they're the ones that get

1061
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 3: no respect.

1062
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 2: This is a prime stop these two.

1063
01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 3: You know, this is what you call the you know,

1064
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 3: one of the schools that were left behind and the

1065
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 3: two remaining members. When then you know, but Oregon's on

1066
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 3: their way out. The Cougars in Oregon State, they're left behind.

1067
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 3: Could Washington State upset Oregon and get some respect and

1068
01:01:56,200 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 3: not have them be running space in their head anymore? Unlikely? Unlikely.

1069
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 3: Wazoo is a good team, but they're they're overmatched on

1070
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 3: Saturday a little bit.

1071
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 7: Uh.

1072
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 3: But I find it interesting because in college football, the

1073
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 3: one thing you have that that you don't have in

1074
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 3: the NFL is the pomp and circumstance and the rivalry

1075
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 3: and all the gala. And it changes from year to

1076
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 3: year because athletes change and they come and go and such.

1077
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 2: You also have these.

1078
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 3: Side stories, these these this true desire need for respect.

1079
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 3: Speaking of respect, there's one team that I think is

1080
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 3: officially a title contender that no one's really talking about,

1081
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 3: but I will coming up first, Let's.

1082
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 2: Go back to our guy, Kevin Figures with the latest.

1083
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Bernie.

1084
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 7: The NLCS Tide had two games apiece after Arizona rallied

1085
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 7: for a six to five victory over the Phillies Friday night.

1086
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 7: Dbacks trailed five to two going into the seventh, but

1087
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 7: Alec Thomas tied the game with two run home run

1088
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 7: in the eighth and that was followed by a go

1089
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 7: ahead single by Gabrielle Moreno later in that inning, giving

1090
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 7: the Snakes the victory. Game five will be tonight at

1091
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 7: eight eastern. The Astros are on the verge of clinching

1092
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 7: their third straight berth in the World Series. They defeated

1093
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 7: the Rangers in Game five of the ALCS. Six to

1094
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 7: five was the final score. Jose al Tuve with the

1095
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 7: go ahead three run blast in the ninth. That series

1096
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 7: now shifts back to Houston for Game six on Sunday night.

1097
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 7: You can watch that game at eight eastern on FS one.

1098
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 7: In college football Friday Night, SMU outgain Temple five hundred

1099
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 7: and sixty three yards to one hundred and thirty one

1100
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 7: the fifty five to nothing drubbing at the Link in Philadelphia.

1101
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 7: SMU over Temple and College hoops News. Duke agreed to

1102
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 7: a six year contract extension with head coach John Shire.

1103
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 7: All right, back to Bernie Freddo.

1104
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 3: All right, thanks, Kevin, appreciate it, buddy, coming out top

1105
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 3: of the r We're going to dive into the playoffs.

1106
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 3: Will get you and Patrick involved. Get your thoughts as

1107
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 3: he's have taken a very interesting turn. They really have

1108
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 3: what a different seventy two hours makes.

1109
01:03:58,800 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 6: All right.

1110
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 3: The Washington High Skis have historically had periods where they've

1111
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 3: been really good. Those Don James teams are the early nineties,

1112
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 3: the Warren Moon teams the late seventies. Washington's been a

1113
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 3: respected program. Of course, Chris Peterson got them into the

1114
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 3: playoff the one time back in twenty fifteen. They're six

1115
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 3: to zero. Washington plays Arizona State this week. Now, you know,

1116
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 3: reputable Power Index rankings. It's all about the national championship,

1117
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 3: now right, I mean that's what people are striving for.

1118
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 3: The Power Index rankings that most people respect give the

1119
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 3: Huskies about a fourteen percent chance. I'm not just winning

1120
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 3: out through the regular season, but all the way through

1121
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 3: the Pac twelve title game, which would put them into

1122
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 3: the fourteen playoff. If they do that, they will be

1123
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 3: in the fourteen playoff. But fourteen percent means there's an

1124
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 3: eighty six percent chance. These metrics don't expect them to. Okay,

1125
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 3: Why well, there are eleven remaining unbeaten teams, and all

1126
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 3: of those team teams six have better odds. Part of

1127
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 3: the reason is is because if you look at Washington's schedule,

1128
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 3: it's easy to see why the Huskies still have three

1129
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 3: ranked teams left on their schedule before finishing the regular

1130
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 3: season against Washington State and the Apple Cup.

1131
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 2: Which is never easy.

1132
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 3: The good news for the Huskies, though, he said, if

1133
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 3: the end up being measured against another one loss team,

1134
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 3: there's strength to schedule at the end of the year

1135
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,439
Speaker 3: will be a huge benefit. So you get Arizona State

1136
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 3: and staff for the next couple of weeks. So let's

1137
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 3: assume the Huskies will be eight no all right, then

1138
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 3: it gets a little trick. If they go to SC

1139
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 3: I expect them to beat SC. Home against Utah, expect

1140
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 3: them to win that game. And then you got Oregon State.

1141
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 3: But they're very different opponents that pose very significantly different challenges.

1142
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 3: Now the Huskies will be favored in all three, but

1143
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 3: the margin of varro will be tight. I just hope

1144
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 3: the Huskies stay healthy. If you look at the two

1145
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 3: stud receivers they have and what Michael Penix has done,

1146
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 3: same thing he did in Indiana, he's a first round

1147
01:05:56,600 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 3: draft choice. Klin de Boor people are finding out is

1148
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 3: one of the brightest minds in all of college football,

1149
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 3: and he was he was in Indiana three years ago

1150
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 3: in Indiana was good as an offensive coordinator, went to

1151
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 3: Presdent State. Now look what he's doing at Washington. I

1152
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 3: believe the Huskies are absolutely officially a title contender. If

1153
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 3: you put them on a neutral field against Michigan, who

1154
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 3: because everybody's darling now, they would give Michigan fits. Michigan

1155
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 3: is very susceptible to the past. They haven't played anybody.

1156
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 3: That will be a hell of a game to watch.

1157
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 3: And Washington's defense is better than people realize. Well, Oregon

1158
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 3: could have beaten them last week, they didn't, and oftentimes

1159
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 3: games come down to three or four mark you know,

1160
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 3: pivotal moments. Washington made the plays when they needed to

1161
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 3: make them. They've proven now they're battle tested. It's a bumber.

1162
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 3: This is the final year of the four team college

1163
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 3: football Playoff, but it's shaping up to be the best

1164
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 3: because one of the things NIL has done, and then

1165
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 3: the transfer portal was done. In my view, it's great

1166
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 3: parody near the top, but I really believe Washington's officially

1167
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 3: a title contender. Last Saturday, they passed a major test.

1168
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 3: They made a big rival in Oregon thirty six thirty three.

1169
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 3: That's been the best game of the year so far

1170
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 3: in college football period. And I realized the Ducks and

1171
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 3: Dan Lanning. It took a lot of heat for rolling

1172
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 3: the dice laid on fourth down, but that's how they

1173
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 3: said they played. And Washington made the play on defense

1174
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 3: in Oregon, didn't. They wanted to keep the ball, and

1175
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 3: by the way, give it as a sign of respect.

1176
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 3: They wanted to keep the ball out of Michael Penix's hands.

1177
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 3: And that's probably a good way if you have designs

1178
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 3: on beating Washington. Keep the ball out of Michael Penix's hands.

1179
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 3: And he outdueled Michael Penis. Ou dude, bowl Knicks, who's

1180
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 3: having quite a good year from as well, quite a

1181
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 3: great year for Oregon as well.

1182
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 2: A couple of transfers.

1183
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 3: Knicks comes from Auburn, Panics comes from Indiana. I think

1184
01:08:01,680 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 3: now after that game, the Huskies can name higher all

1185
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 3: the way higher, all the way to the Final four,

1186
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 3: just like they did in twenty fifteen after Chris Peterson.

1187
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 2: I get it. Michigan looks formidable.

1188
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:16,680
Speaker 3: They keep They're a heavyweight team in a heavyweight program.

1189
01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:18,839
Speaker 2: They haven't faced anybody above the middleweight.

1190
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 3: You know it, Georgia, Well listen, they keep winning they're

1191
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,520
Speaker 3: not blowing teams out, but I think it's a backhanded

1192
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:31,439
Speaker 3: compliment the team that folks expect them to just blow

1193
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 3: teams out every week. It's not enough to win by

1194
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 3: seven or ten. And now they lose Brock powers. So

1195
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. But Washington could be needed one

1196
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 3: of those teams. You put them on a neutral not

1197
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 3: a dobt. In my mind, if you don't believe that,

1198
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 3: you haven't watched Washington. Now, if neither Michigan or Georgia

1199
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 3: proves to be the all time monster that everybody's expecting

1200
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 3: him to be, you might have a real shakeup.

1201
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 2: This could make.

1202
01:08:58,040 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 3: I think this is gonna make for one of the

1203
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 3: most exciting and breathtaking and frantic, you know, final five

1204
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 3: weeks of the college football season that you've had in

1205
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 3: recent memory, because unfortunately, you've got so many teams that

1206
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 3: we've been playoff worthy. But it comes down to what

1207
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 3: I call the you know, the the made for TV Invitational.

1208
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 3: It's truly still not a playoff until we get to

1209
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 3: the twelveteen playoffs, you can kind of call it a playoff, right,

1210
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 3: So I have really got my eye in Washington. I

1211
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 3: believe in them. I believe in them, And look, anything

1212
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 3: can happen in college football. If you don't believe me.

1213
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 3: We could go Friday Night Dean Sanders. They led Stanford

1214
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 3: twenty nine to nothing. They lose forty six forty three

1215
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 3: in overtime. Biggest comeback in Stanford history, biggest blown lead

1216
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 3: in Colorado history since eighteen ninety one. Right, these things

1217
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 3: keep happening this year. It's a unique year. It's a

1218
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 3: fun year. I think you learn to expect the unexpected.

1219
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:07,400
Speaker 3: And I mean that because what Nio and the Transfer

1220
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,719
Speaker 3: Portal has done is really create a lot of parody

1221
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 3: near the top. You start ratting off names. I mean, remember,

1222
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 3: there's only four spots. Washington has to be mentioned on

1223
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 3: the short list, their players on the state this week.

1224
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 3: I've already talked about Pennce State and Ohio State. There's

1225
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 3: three teams, Michigan, there's four teams.

1226
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 2: How about Oklahoma?

1227
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:32,759
Speaker 3: I love what Dylan Gabriel's done and how ironic Lincoln

1228
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 3: Riley leaves in. Oklahoma's defense is way better. Can you

1229
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 3: count them out? Okay, this is a bit of a stretch.

1230
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 3: Can you completely count North Carolina out? I wouldn't. There's

1231
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 3: six and oh, their ranked tenth. They got Drake May

1232
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 3: and they can run the ball. They ran for like

1233
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty yards against Miami last week. Can

1234
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:58,719
Speaker 3: you count out Florida State of all the undefeated teams, Well,

1235
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 3: Florida State in Oklahoma and the Power Index both have

1236
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 3: about the same chance. Now, I don't think James Madison

1237
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 3: our Air Force are going to make the playoffs, but

1238
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 3: you can see how crowded it is. And I didn't

1239
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 3: even mention Georgia, and even Alabama's got lost. You can't

1240
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 3: throw them out. So this is gonna be fun. But

1241
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 3: mark your calendars. I think you're gonna see Washington on

1242
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:25,320

Speaker 3: of Bernie's trivia game, Backyard Bunkin Bets, will be completed

1267
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 3: if we crown a new champion, and Friday night'll be

1268
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 3: week twelve. Well the way, before I get to my

1269
01:12:53,560 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 3: soccer story, which I promise you will be scratching your

1270
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 3: head when you hear this. It's been a very unique

1271
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 3: and interesting year for the NFL. So many different odds stats.

1272
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:08,360
Speaker 3: The twenty twenty three Dolphins. They joined the fifty eight

1273
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 3: Colts right the only teams in NFL history to record

1274
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 3: fifteen rushing touchdowns and fifteen receiving touchdowns to the first

1275
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 3: six games of the season. But ironically the NFL, their

1276
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 3: scoring has fallen to a five year low. Defenses have

1277
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 3: basically adjusted to the modern passing revolution.

1278
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 2: How else can you deem it?

1279
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 3: Teams are averaging only twenty one points seven points a game.

1280
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 3: That's down from last year, tied for the fewest since

1281
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 3: the twenty nine season. Twenty zo nine season, excuse me,

1282
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,200
Speaker 3: teams are only averaging three hundred and twenty nine erards

1283
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 3: on offense too, the fewest and seventeen years again revamp

1284
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 3: pass defenses. Well, I think that's responsible for the scoring decline.

1285
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 3: That's why you have the fewest touchdown score, receiving score

1286
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 3: receiving touchdown scored backs since two.

1287
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 2: Thousand and eight. You don't believe me.

1288
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,839
Speaker 3: These are some good teams too, Bengals, they're only averaging

1289
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 3: sixteen point seven points per game. You got Joe Burrow,

1290
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:12,679
Speaker 3: the Steelers fifteen point eight, of course, the Patriots twelve,

1291
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 3: and the Giants eleven point eight.

1292
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 2: No surprise there.

1293
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 3: By the way, one of the big games is talked

1294
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:20,719
Speaker 3: about Sunday, and we're gonna get heavily into the NFL

1295
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 3: Saturday Night Ravens Lions. The Lions are for real. I

1296
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 3: think the narrative needs to be this, okay, the Lions

1297
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 3: don't need to prove anything against Baltimore. They're already for real.

1298
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 3: They may go down there and get beat. And the

1299
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 3: Lions are very banged up, and they're very much gonna

1300
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 3: miss David mccomery. They're starting running back and they have

1301
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 3: some other guys banged up. Baltimore coming off a loss,

1302
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 3: but they took the ball up and down the field

1303
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 3: against Tennessee. You're gonna see them regroup. Here's the thing

1304
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 3: to take away. Baltimore is only a three point favorite,

1305
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 3: and because of what happened last week against Tennessee. I

1306
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 3: think this is why Baltimore's numbers still light. Sean Harbaugh

1307
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 3: at home eighty two and twenty six against the spread

1308
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:03,639
Speaker 3: as a home favorite, Lions come to town. The Lions

1309
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,719
Speaker 3: already had our respect and if they don't, well, shame

1310
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 3: on you. These are not the same old Lions. By

1311
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 3: the way, one last thing before I do get to

1312
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 3: this soccer thing, which slays me. We will have more

1313
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 3: international games this year in the National Football League than

1314
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 3: ever in the past. We've already had three London games

1315
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 3: Falcons Jaguars Week four.

1316
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:27,479
Speaker 2: Then you had.

1317
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 3: Gosh, what was it, the Titans Ravens, and then that

1318
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 3: was Falcons, oh, Jaguars Bills. So you've already had those three, right,

1319
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 3: We're not done yet. Week nine, the Dolphins and the

1320
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:50,720
Speaker 3: Chiefs will play in Frankfurt Stadium in Germany. That's on

1321
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 3: November fifth. And by the way, that's a Sunday, and

1322
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:58,559
Speaker 3: that's the day that daylight savings time ends. I'll be

1323
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 3: doing my annual five hour show. I signed out at

1324
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 3: eleven PM Saturday night. I go all the way through

1325
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 3: to three a m. Pacific, six a m. Eastern, but

1326
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 3: remember two o'clock the clock turns back, so we get

1327
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 3: five hours. But anyway, earlier that morning, later that morning,

1328
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 3: Daffils to play the Chiefs in Frankfort Stadium. Member Andrew

1329
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:22,680
Speaker 3: Reid said he's when he first heard about that game,

1330
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 3: he said, I'm looking forward to having a brat.

1331
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 2: That was an amazing scene last year when.

1332
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 3: Tom Brady and Tampa Bay played in Germany and they

1333
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 3: hung around and sung songs and Neil Diamond Songs was amazing. Finally,

1334
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 3: November twelfth, the Colts and the Patriots will also played

1335
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:44,639
Speaker 3: in Frankfort Stadium in Germany. And Roger Goodell, who got

1336
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 3: himself a nice three year extension, which we'll talk about.

1337
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 3: It's going to be the seven hundred million dollar man

1338
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 3: for Crana A Loud continues to grow the game internationally.

1339
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:56,560
Speaker 3: Speaking of international, you may have heard of Christiano Ronaldo.

1340
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 3: He signed a contract earlier this year to take his

1341
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 3: talents to Saudi Arabia, not South Beach, but Saudi Arabia

1342
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 3: for two hundred million dollars per year.

1343
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 2: Yes, but he might want to avoid Iran for a while.

1344
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:14,719
Speaker 2: You see.

1345
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 3: There have been reports and the New York Post also

1346
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:27,120
Speaker 3: reported this that Christiano Ronaldo had a situation where a

1347
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 3: young female artist, her name is somewhere, but her name

1348
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:39,720
Speaker 3: is Amimi. I don't know what her whole name is, Okay. Recently,

1349
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 3: the Alnosaar team traveled to Tehran to play Persepolis in

1350
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 3: an Asian Champions League game stage match, and that's the

1351
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 3: team he plays for. Ronaldo, So Hamimi this young lady.

1352
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:54,679
Speaker 3: She's eighty five percent paralyzed. She paints with her feet.

1353
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 3: She's a huge fan who gave Ronaldo gifts, and one

1354
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 3: of the gifts was she painted pictures of him, really

1355
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:05,680
Speaker 3: neat pictures of him, and as a show of appreciation,

1356
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 3: genuine appreciation, he gave her a hug and kissed her

1357
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 3: on the forehead. Well, apparently you don't do that in Iran.

1358
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:19,679
Speaker 3: That's considered adultery in Iran, and the punishment for adultery

1359
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 3: in Iran is ninety nine lashes. Yes, Ronaldo could be

1360
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 3: staring down ninety nine lashes his punishment for adultery in

1361
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 3: the forum. He touched a woman, but he's already in

1362
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 3: a relationship. He's married now. Iranian media reports have said

1363
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 3: there been several lawsuits filed against him.

1364
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:42,559
Speaker 2: Again.

1365
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 3: He plays for a team called Al Nasser. After he

1366
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 3: hugged and kissed this artist, I guess her team is.

1367
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 3: Her name is Fatima Hamimi on the cheek to thank

1368
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:54,560
Speaker 3: her for the gift. Right, And he's with his girlfriend

1369
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 3: and two children. Blah blah blah blah blah, and he

1370
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 3: has a son and all this seemed very inn his

1371
01:19:00,160 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 3: but it's not so innocent if you're in Iran. Now,

1372
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 3: al Nasker does not play Iran again this year in

1373
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 3: the group stage of the tournament, but if both teams

1374
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 3: make it to the knockout stage, you might have to

1375
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 3: go back to Iran.

1376
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 6: Now.

1377
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 3: There have been alternate reports saying that Iran will drop

1378
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 3: it if he shows remorse or something along those lines.

1379
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 3: Can you imagine ninety nine lashes for showing the appreciation

1380
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 3: for some of who painted pictures of you can't make

1381
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 3: this stuff.

1382
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 2: Up, folks.

1383
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:32,880

1398
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 2: Seventy two hours ago, the.

1399
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Phillies looked invincible, the unstoppable force, whatever you want

1400
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 3: to call it, and the Houston Astros were down zero

1401
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 3: to two and heading on the road. Of course, they're

1402
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,040
Speaker 3: nineteen and three on the road in their last twenty

1403
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 3: two Now go figure. Before I dive into my quick

1404
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 3: narrative and bring the crew back in, first I want

1405
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 3: to ask both guys. Kevin will start with you, from

1406
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 3: a fans standpoint, what would you like the World Series

1407
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:47,680
Speaker 3: matchup to be?

1408
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 7: Well, from a fan standpoint, there's no way I would

1409
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 7: ever want the Houston Astros to win anything I found

1410
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 7: to be quite honest with you, as long as a

1411
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 7: jose Al Tuovey is still there and mans he's bawling

1412
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 7: his tail off in his post season as he typically does.

1413
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 1: Uh and then for the for the National League, you know,

1414
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't I wouldn't mind either.

1415
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 2: You know.

1416
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 7: The Philadelphia Phillies are kind of the juggernaut that they

1417
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 7: came into the postseason with some momentum. They had the

1418
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 7: Atlanta Braves number obviously, but I also love the underdog

1419
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 7: story of the you know, the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have

1420
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 7: pretty much a no name unit. To be honest with you,

1421
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:22,599
Speaker 7: most people, even if you're an ardent supporter of Major

1422
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 7: League Baseball, these are not necessarily household names, you know,

1423
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 7: playing for Arizona.

1424
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:28,599
Speaker 1: So I'm fairly indifferent.

1425
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 7: But I think I would like, just from a star

1426
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:33,679
Speaker 7: power standpoint, to see the Phillies take on the Texas Rangers,

1427
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,799
Speaker 7: a Ranger team that hasn't really that hasn't really competed

1428
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 7: a lot recently. They had that World Series run but

1429
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 7: maybe maybe not even a decade ago, and we're one

1430
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 7: out away from winning the championship before Nelson Cruz misplayed

1431
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 7: a ball in the outfield. So seeing some new blood,

1432
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 7: some fresh blood in the World Series, get a new

1433
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 7: champion and they will be exciting to see. But I'm

1434
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 7: kind of on anybody but the Astros tip at this point,

1435
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 7: to be honest.

1436
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 3: Fair enough, Patrick'sweek of your thoughts.

1437
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 9: Personally, Bernie, I want to jump with Kevin on this

1438
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 9: one too. I really don't want to see the Astros

1439
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:08,679
Speaker 9: in it too, just because I am also pure Dodger fan,

1440
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:10,600
Speaker 9: but from a like if I were to go like

1441
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:14,439
Speaker 9: purely non Dodger bias here, of probably what would be

1442
01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:19,240
Speaker 9: like the quote unquote like just the high flying World Series,

1443
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 9: it'd have to be a repeat of the Astros and

1444
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:23,800
Speaker 9: the Phillies I'm gonna go ride with. I could go

1445
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 9: either with the Phillies or the Diamondbacks, but I do

1446
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 9: like Bryce Harper just enough more from them to get

1447
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 9: the edge in the in the NL. But personally I'd

1448
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 9: like to see the Phillies versus the Arrangers. But realistically,

1449
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 9: from a non Dodger perspective here, a repeat of Astros

1450
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 9: and Phillies part two would be absolutely to die for.

1451
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 3: It will be great, yeah, And I certainly get the

1452
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 3: Astros hate and I will not ever defend what they

1453
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 3: did in twenty seventeen. But the East Knuckle has win

1454
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 3: one more game.

1455
01:22:56,600 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 2: They'll be in their fifth World Series in seven years,

1456
01:22:58,880 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 2: So at some.

1457
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:04,559
Speaker 3: Point probably I'm going to just get you know, let

1458
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 3: Mike let those feelings of angst and for what they

1459
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 3: did dissipate, because they keep doing it now and I

1460
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 3: don't think they're cheating anymore. But that's a conversation for

1461
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 3: a different day. I would like to see Texas in

1462
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:19,640
Speaker 3: the World Series for the reason Kevin just mentioned they

1463
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 3: were one hour away. They've never won a World Series.

1464
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 3: They'll live into one. I like Bruce Bochie a lot.

1465
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 3: Had a nice conversation with him just a couple of

1466
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 3: weeks ago on Anaheim. He's he's brilliant at what he

1467
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 3: did in San Francisco in ten, twelve and fourteen. My

1468
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 3: buddy Tim Flannery worked side by side with him as

1469
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 3: his third base coach in San Diego and again in

1470
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 3: San Francisco, and said, listen, when the heat gets hot

1471
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 3: and it's hard to breathe and you're in a foxvild,

1472
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 3: you want to be around Bruce Bochi as far as

1473
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 3: in nactual League. If the Phillies get in, it'll be

1474
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 3: great because I mean, I know there's a lot of

1475
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 3: chest beating and a lot of beards to look at,

1476
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 3: and a lot of craziness, but you know what, they

1477
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 3: back it up and they played They played the game

1478
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:02,200
Speaker 3: with the kind of fire into iron enthusiasm which people

1479
01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 3: should should appreciate. But I gotta tell you, I gotta

1480
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 3: tell you the Arizona Diamondbacks have really caught my eye.

1481
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 3: Weed On talking about this with the crew two three

1482
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 3: weeks ago and all the underdog upsets.

1483
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 2: But I didn't think. I didn't.

1484
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 3: I didn't see this coming. Okay, first Arizona took down

1485
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 3: the National League Central champions, then they knocked out the

1486
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:30,600
Speaker 3: National League West champions. And of all the rousing Diamondbacks

1487
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 3: victories they've had throughout the year, and certainly in October

1488
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 3: Friday night, there's sixty five comeback win. Is is I

1489
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 3: think it capsulizes the entire story of the Arizona Diamondbacks

1490
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 3: this year. No one expected any of this, and this

1491
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 3: is what you get in the baseball postseason. As Kevin

1492
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 3: pointed out, they are no names. You can't tell me.

1493
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:58,719
Speaker 3: People that can't tell me they've heard of Alec Thomas

1494
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 3: spelled al e k who lost his job in the

1495
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 3: starting lineup because he wasn't eating. He hits a pinch hit,

1496
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 3: two run homer, Are you kidding me?

1497
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 2: Off? Craig Camberl in the eighth inning.

1498
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 3: Then you get to go ahead RBI single from their

1499
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:16,879
Speaker 3: catcher Gabriel Moreno, who's not exactly a great hitter. Meanwhile,

1500
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks, they're kind of short on starting pitching.

1501
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:21,760
Speaker 2: What do they do?

1502
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:24,519
Speaker 3: They cobble together a Johnny Hoolstaff game. The nighted a

1503
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 3: bullpen game that could have been a disaster, but somehow

1504
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:32,440
Speaker 3: kept the cool, the score close enough for this team.

1505
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:35,679
Speaker 3: And now the theory is these guys are too young

1506
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:36,760
Speaker 3: and dumb to know any better.

1507
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 2: And who are they? You are they? I just mentioned Alec.

1508
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 3: Thomas, I just mentioned Gabriel Moreno, they're shortstop Geraldo Podomo.

1509
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 3: Let's not forget Corbyn Carroll. They're all twenty three years old,

1510
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 3: and they're all lighted up in the They've all had

1511
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 3: their moment in the postseason, and they're two wins away

1512
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:01,680
Speaker 3: from the World Series. And our management to Laulo kid

1513
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 3: who played at UCLA a one hundred thousand years ago.

1514
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 3: I had a run with the Detroit Tigers when I

1515
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 3: was there, and he's got a great relationship with his GM.

1516
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,800
Speaker 3: And we're watching this happen, and only in baseball has

1517
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 3: this happened. It doesn't, It really does not happen. Baseball

1518
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 3: is unique.

1519
01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 2: I love all sports.

1520
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:26,480
Speaker 3: You put a goal here, a goal there, whether it's football, hockey, soccer, basketball.

1521
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,680
Speaker 3: He got a time clock, the buzzer goes off, go home, Baseball.

1522
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 3: They got to get you out twenty seven times. This

1523
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 3: has to be incredibly and baseball's had going back to

1524
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 3: Brian Doyle, Murray and Brian you know Brian Doyle. Excuse me,

1525
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 3: the seventy eight Yankees google it. He's unsung heroes that

1526
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 3: come out of nowhere. Alec Thomas was sent to TRIPAA

1527
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 3: back in May and he spent a month and he

1528
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:55,600
Speaker 3: came back because of his defense and he's made a

1529
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 3: lot of good plays in center field, but he was

1530
01:26:57,320 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 3: hitless in Philadelphia. Philly goes up, oh to Thomas was

1531
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:04,599
Speaker 3: on the bench in games three and four. They pinched

1532
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 3: ran Thursday scored the game ty and run that Arizona

1533
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 3: had their comeback, but a lot of folks thought, okay,

1534
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:14,519
Speaker 3: they got their obligatory win. Philly's gonna hammer him today,

1535
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,680
Speaker 3: and it looked like they were. Philadelphia was the head

1536
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:21,960
Speaker 3: five to three in the eighth inning. Craig Kimball back

1537
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:25,680
Speaker 3: to back nights he'd allowed to walk or check that

1538
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:26,719
Speaker 3: he allowed to walk.

1539
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 2: Off hit Thursday night, and you know, Kimball's been their.

1540
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:34,920
Speaker 3: Go to guy, but he allowed, you know, right off

1541
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 3: the gate, Lord's Guriel leads off.

1542
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:38,719
Speaker 2: The inning with a double.

1543
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 3: Evan Longoria squares up the bat but for an out

1544
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 3: he you know, line drive out, and then Thomas comes in.

1545
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 2: And moved that that.

1546
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:54,800
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know what prompted Tory Lavula to

1547
01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 3: make it. I guess he considered saving him for later

1548
01:27:57,680 --> 01:27:59,599
Speaker 3: in the game. Blah blah blah. Maybe there was going

1549
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 3: to be a something like that, or he was gonna

1550
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 3: put in Jordan Lollard a bun so what he talked

1551
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:06,680
Speaker 3: about in the postseason. But he's stuck with Thomas for

1552
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:09,960
Speaker 3: some reason, that kind of instinct. Camber oll throws them

1553
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 3: a couple of curveballs, a couple of fast fastballs. Very

1554
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 3: good plate disciplined by Alec Thomas, who's a light hitting hitter,

1555
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:23,439
Speaker 3: right six seven pitching bat Kimball says, Okay, what the hell,

1556
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:26,880
Speaker 3: let's try to paint a fastball, a ninety five mile

1557
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:30,599
Speaker 3: an hour fastball on the corner. It was an outside corner.

1558
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:34,719
Speaker 3: Thomas pulls it anyway, hits a fourder and twenty foot

1559
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,559
Speaker 3: fly ball lands on the other side of the fence

1560
01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 3: in the pool at Chase Field, forty eight thousand people

1561
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:45,320
Speaker 3: go bananas and oh by the way this is a

1562
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:48,600
Speaker 3: game where Thursday you could have gotten in for eleven.

1563
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 2: Bucks, Kevin.

1564
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,720
Speaker 3: Could the Arizona Diamondbacks finish this thing off like they

1565
01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 3: did in two thousand and.

1566
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 1: One, ooh, that'd be a tall order.

1567
01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 7: But look, if they can winning this series and getting

1568
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 7: past Philadelphia, I guess the sky's the limit at that

1569
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 7: point in time.

1570
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 1: They we mentioned them being a no name crew.

1571
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:08,320
Speaker 7: If you can get this sort of pitching effort and

1572
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:10,840
Speaker 7: just this sort of rally, and they kind of remind

1573
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 7: me a little bit of the Angels all the way

1574
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:15,959
Speaker 7: back in two thousand and two. Didn't have any superstar players.

1575
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 7: They had, you know, Troy gloss was a good player

1576
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:20,800
Speaker 7: at the time, Garrett Anderson, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well it's

1577
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 7: guys like that and Scott Spiezio, guys who didn't do

1578
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 7: a whole lot during the regular season. It just came

1579
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:27,800
Speaker 7: up with a big hit after big hit after big

1580
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 7: hit when it matter at most. Even a no name

1581
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 7: pitching staff really stepped up in the postseason. So we've

1582
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:35,559
Speaker 7: seen things like this happen before. Do I believe they

1583
01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 7: have enough juice to get it done, Not really, But

1584
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:40,840
Speaker 7: we've seen the unbelievable before, and so for them to

1585
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 7: come back after getting blitz the first couple of games

1586
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 7: at Philadelphia and show this sort of resilience. And look,

1587
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 7: they've won a couple of different ways, a two to one,

1588
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 7: you know, slugfest in the first game back in Arizona,

1589
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:53,320
Speaker 7: and then a back and forth matchup on Friday night.

1590
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:56,080
Speaker 7: So they've shown they can win and play however you

1591
01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 7: want to play. So they certainly have the ability to

1592
01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 7: do it. But if I had to bet money on it,

1593
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 7: I'd still take Philadelphia to take this thing.

1594
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they believe in themselves.

1595
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 3: They're scrappy, and I'm very much looking forward to Saturday's game.

1596
01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:12,559
Speaker 3: We're gonna see a replay of Zach Wheeler versus Zach Gallen.

1597
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 3: Wheeler pitched to Jim six innings in Game one to

1598
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 3: beat the Diamondbacks. Remember Zach Gallen gave up three home

1599
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 3: runs in the first two innings. Both pullpins are drained.

1600
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:29,400
Speaker 3: This is gonna be a very interesting game.

1601
01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 2: Five.

1602
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:33,200
Speaker 3: The question is, even if Arizona prevails, can they go

1603
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 3: back into that cold weather in Philadelphia. They don't seem

1604
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:38,599
Speaker 3: to be the same there. You know, it was a

1605
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,760
Speaker 3: very nice, comfortable seventy six degrees in Chase Field with

1606
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:43,840
Speaker 3: the roof shut, but believe it or not, one hundred

1607
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:47,080
Speaker 3: and two degrees outside in Phoenix. They go back to Philadelphia,

1608
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:49,519
Speaker 3: it's gonna be cold. We already know how you feel

1609
01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:53,080
Speaker 3: about the Astros. Patrick, wrap it up for us. Who's

1610
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:55,760
Speaker 3: gonna prevail the Phillies or the Diamondbacks?

1611
01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:59,840
Speaker 9: You know what, Bernie, I'm honestly gonna take. I'm gonna

1612
01:30:59,840 --> 01:31:02,080
Speaker 9: take Diamondbacks on this one. I think they're gonna beat

1613
01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:05,120
Speaker 9: Philly just because they're hot right now. It's you know,

1614
01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 9: it's all tied up as we as we know. Uh,

1615
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,400
Speaker 9: if they win tomorrow, which you know, I mean they're

1616
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:13,880
Speaker 9: still in Arizona, I believe, and then yes, and if

1617
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 9: they win tomorrow, go three two. I think it's gonna

1618
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:22,799
Speaker 9: be probably seven games. But hey, if they can squeak,

1619
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 9: you know, squeak the you know, game winner in Game six,

1620
01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 9: going off the hot streak, I think they'll win it.

1621
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:31,120
Speaker 9: But I honestly do believe they win tomorrow, They're gonna

1622
01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 9: win it even if it's Game six or Game seven,

1623
01:31:34,400 --> 01:31:37,160
Speaker 9: unless it's a really bad Game six that like the

1624
01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 9: momentum just automatically goes to Philly. But I mean, it's

1625
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 9: a tough place to play, it is, you know, gonna

1626
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 9: be in Philly, But I'm gonna go with the hot

1627
01:31:45,040 --> 01:31:48,920
Speaker 9: hand in hot momentum. They've shut everybody down in Philly

1628
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:51,640
Speaker 9: and you know, weathering the storm and a bunch of

1629
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:54,080
Speaker 9: no names and Corvin Carroll are just you know, they're

1630
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,640
Speaker 9: doing it right now. So I'm gonna take Diamondbacks.

1631
01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 3: Well, and you had them beating the Dodgers too. You

1632
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:01,840
Speaker 3: were cold, were nervous going into that series as a

1633
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:05,000
Speaker 3: Dodger fan, and justifiably so. They not only beat the Dodgers,

1634
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:05,879
Speaker 3: they beat the Brewers.

1635
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:09,599
Speaker 2: So I'll tell you what. We've seen.

1636
01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 3: These things happen in baseball. It's still gotta happen. Obviously.

1637
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:15,800
Speaker 3: I think Game five is all important to Arizona. I

1638
01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:18,920
Speaker 3: can't if Arizona should fall behind three two, I can't.

1639
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:22,839
Speaker 3: It would be hard to visualize been winning both games

1640
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 3: in Philly, right, But that's baseball. You don't know what,

1641
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,840
Speaker 3: you don't know what's gonna happen. Coming up, I want

1642
01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 3: to switch gears. The NBA tips off Tuesday, we start

1643
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:42,920
Speaker 3: a new season, and there's a lot of storylines and

1644
01:32:43,040 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 3: James Harden and you know, Terry Stotts, and Brandon.

1645
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:49,479
Speaker 2: Miller and Lebron right on the line.

1646
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,560
Speaker 3: But one name that we are going to hear about

1647
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:54,720
Speaker 3: night in, night out, whether you like it or not,

1648
01:32:55,920 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 3: is Victor wimbin Yama.

1649
01:32:57,760 --> 01:32:59,160
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's a bad thing.

1650
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:03,920
Speaker 3: But I've got four issues I want to see, not

1651
01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:04,840
Speaker 3: saying he can't do it.

1652
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,280
Speaker 2: I believe these are the areas in.

1653
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:11,400
Speaker 3: Which we'll have to make the biggest adjustment to the NBA,

1654
01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:14,040
Speaker 3: and I'm going to share those with you.

Speaker 3: The list goes down, but one name you will continue

1687
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:50,720
Speaker 3: to hear over and over and over again. I'm not

1688
01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 3: saying it's a bad thing, but since they've already crowned

1689
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 3: this young man. You know, we'll now see when the

1690
01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:03,240
Speaker 3: rubber hits road for real against real NBA competition, not

1691
01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 3: in the summer league and not in the preseason, how

1692
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 3: Victor Winbinyama is gonna do. Now, he might very well

1693
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:13,559
Speaker 3: do great, Okay, but there are four areas that I've

1694
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 3: sort of identified that I've got to see. He's going

1695
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 3: to be dealing with some big, big, bad bodies, and

1696
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:23,439
Speaker 3: these are opponents he's going to go up against and

1697
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 3: along those lines as far as defensive, rebounding and playing defense,

1698
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 3: I've got to see him do it. I felt he

1699
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:38,800
Speaker 3: struggled in the Las Vegas Summer League to play aggressively

1700
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:42,160
Speaker 3: down on the low block. He's more of a finesse

1701
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:44,599
Speaker 3: player than anything else. He's gonna have to really find

1702
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:49,599
Speaker 3: a way to use his finesse to his advantage. So

1703
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:51,320
Speaker 3: how at number one, how does he deal with these

1704
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:55,400
Speaker 3: big bodies, especially when it's positioning for defensive, rebounding and

1705
01:35:56,360 --> 01:36:01,360
Speaker 3: playing defense. Secondly, obviously, and the dude's tall, right, so

1706
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:06,519
Speaker 3: when he dribbles, the ball is tall, So he's gonna

1707
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:10,280
Speaker 3: have to do with ball hawking defenders. Okay, Wemby, he

1708
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:13,040
Speaker 3: likes to handle the ball. He likes to make plays

1709
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:17,280
Speaker 3: for himself off the bounce and others. And in Vegas,

1710
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:21,439
Speaker 3: if you watched him, he only played two games, and

1711
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 3: I get that the whole world was watching, and probably

1712
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:26,439
Speaker 3: a lot of pressure and such. The other one's telling

1713
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 3: us he's the next coming. He likes to handle the ball,

1714
01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:33,160
Speaker 3: he likes to make plays. He likes to make play

1715
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 3: for himself off the bounce and set up others. But

1716
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:38,679
Speaker 3: here in Vegas during the summer league, that often led

1717
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:43,439
Speaker 3: him to losing the ball in traffic. And if he's

1718
01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:45,559
Speaker 3: going to be a playmaker as a permanent part of

1719
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 3: this game, and we'll see how much the Spurs allow

1720
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:53,720
Speaker 3: him to do that and all that, you know, in

1721
01:36:53,800 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 3: terms of his role in the offense, he's going to

1722
01:36:57,160 --> 01:36:59,320
Speaker 3: need to get much better in those situations. This is

1723
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:01,439
Speaker 3: not something imagine. It's all with my own eyes.

1724
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:01,840
Speaker 2: Okay.

1725
01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 3: The third thing perimeter defense. The NBA game has changed,

1726
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:13,839
Speaker 3: and defending wings in this league is his hard a job,

1727
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:17,280
Speaker 3: a challenging a task as there is in today's NBA.

1728
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 3: Teams are gonna try to pull him from the paint

1729
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 3: in switching situations, and he does have to menace length,

1730
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:29,000
Speaker 3: but linked alone is not gonna be enough to stop

1731
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:34,280
Speaker 3: these incredibly athletic NBA players with fast twitch muscles and

1732
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:40,679
Speaker 3: first step explosion. In his first NBA game against Charlotte,

1733
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 3: I saw a couple of soft closeouts by Wemby. It

1734
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 3: set Brandon Miller up for some outside shots.

1735
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:48,320
Speaker 2: He knocked him down in rhythm.

1736
01:37:49,400 --> 01:37:53,599
Speaker 3: Now, you would hope that a guy that's as tall

1737
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:57,320
Speaker 3: and has the wingspan of Wemby ona, I'm just gonna

1738
01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:59,640
Speaker 3: call him Wemby. I've never been comfortable the way I

1739
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 3: pronounce his name.

1740
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:00,920
Speaker 2: That's on me.

1741
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:04,840
Speaker 3: If Wemby is going to be a defensive force, and

1742
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:08,719
Speaker 3: you would certainly hope you want him to be based

1743
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:13,680
Speaker 3: on his length, his height, his wingspan, et cetera. This

1744
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:15,479
Speaker 3: is one area of this game that's going to need

1745
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:20,680
Speaker 3: to improve. Closeouts, perimeter defense, defending wings, being able to

1746
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 3: switch and rotate. He's a finesse guy. The game's fast.

1747
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:29,640
Speaker 3: It's fast, which brings me to my fourth thing, and

1748
01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:35,160
Speaker 3: it's back to defensive rebounding. Okay, Wemby averaged actually ten

1749
01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:38,840
Speaker 3: rebounds into two Summer League games he played, But.

1750
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:40,160
Speaker 2: The truth of the matter is.

1751
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:45,439
Speaker 3: Wemby struggled with the inability to locate the ball off

1752
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:48,240
Speaker 3: the rim and then box out smaller players. And if

1753
01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 3: I'm being honest, there were multiple times where his reactions

1754
01:38:52,080 --> 01:38:55,519
Speaker 3: were just a titch slower, there were a second slower

1755
01:38:55,520 --> 01:38:57,439
Speaker 3: than the other players on the court. Remember this is

1756
01:38:57,479 --> 01:39:00,280
Speaker 3: the NBA summer League. So let's see how he deals

1757
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:03,240
Speaker 3: with the big bodies. Let's see how he deals with

1758
01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:07,559
Speaker 3: ballhawking defenders. Let's see how he's adjusted. And he's a

1759
01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:11,719
Speaker 3: contributor and perimeter defense defending these athletic wings being able

1760
01:39:11,760 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 3: to rotate, switch, close out on shooters.

1761
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:14,880
Speaker 2: He was slow to do that.

1762
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 3: And let's see if he can locate the ball off

1763
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 3: the rim and get there and box on smaller players.

1764
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:25,000
Speaker 3: His reactions were a little slow. His body type, look,

1765
01:39:25,360 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 3: I keep it well, you know, could take two or

1766
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 3: three years. Wait a minute, and he's not a prodigy.

1767
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:32,360
Speaker 3: I was there for Magic's rookie year. He stepped on

1768
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:36,280
Speaker 3: the floor and he was all that. Even though, and

1769
01:39:36,320 --> 01:39:38,360
Speaker 3: I know people are going to say, well, why are

1770
01:39:38,360 --> 01:39:41,400
Speaker 3: you comparing them to Magic? Well, Magic was twenty, Wemby

1771
01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:46,120
Speaker 3: was nineteen. When Magic came into the league, they said

1772
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:48,760
Speaker 3: a six to nine point guard wouldn't work. I will

1773
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:52,280
Speaker 3: tell you doctor Buss had to argue to get magic.

1774
01:39:54,800 --> 01:39:59,320
Speaker 3: Lebron had the I actually saw Lebron play in high school,

1775
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:01,960
Speaker 3: saying in Saint Mary's March of two thousand and three.

1776
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:04,240
Speaker 3: I was living in Detroit, No big deal, two hour drive,

1777
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:06,960
Speaker 3: drove down there, and when I walked down to the floor,

1778
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:08,320
Speaker 3: I noticed three things about Lebron.

1779
01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 2: Right away.

1780
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:11,759
Speaker 3: He had an NFL body and he was only eighteen

1781
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:12,280
Speaker 3: years old.

1782
01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:14,360
Speaker 2: I looked at him. You gotta be kidding me.

1783
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:18,479
Speaker 3: He was about six five sixty six, so he had big,

1784
01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 3: thick shoulders, thick legs, big Torso I'm thinking, wait, wait

1785
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,559
Speaker 3: a minute, now, you could put this guy in an

1786
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:26,040
Speaker 3: NBA game right now, he'd probably okay, And he was

1787
01:40:26,200 --> 01:40:29,640
Speaker 3: a few months later. Second thing is Lebron had tremendous

1788
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:34,880
Speaker 3: handles for someone of that physical build, and he was

1789
01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:36,559
Speaker 3: bringing the ball to the floor as a garden. This

1790
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:38,400
Speaker 3: is in high school at eighteen years old. The third

1791
01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:41,280
Speaker 3: thing is Lebron was very unsl was Lebron was very

1792
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:44,719
Speaker 3: unselfish saw the floor. He was an excellent passer, setting

1793
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:47,760
Speaker 3: up his teammates. He probably could have averaged seventy points

1794
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:49,320
Speaker 3: a game, but he wasn't that type of player.

1795
01:40:49,720 --> 01:40:50,679
Speaker 2: He was a team player.

1796
01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:54,280
Speaker 3: So between his body type, which impressed me more than anything,

1797
01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 3: coupled with his handles in his game, I said, you know,

1798
01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:00,840
Speaker 3: you could put this guy in an NBA game, and

1799
01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:02,120
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be okay.

1800
01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:06,000
Speaker 2: And he was. He really held his own. I really

1801
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:06,360
Speaker 2: want to.

1802
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:09,920
Speaker 3: See what Wenby looks like first week, second week, and

1803
01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:12,760
Speaker 3: twenty games in. He may he may shock me, and

1804
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:15,200
Speaker 3: I'll give him his due, but these are the things

1805
01:41:15,240 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 3: I'd like to see before I am all in in, uh,

1806
01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:22,240
Speaker 3: you know, and going along with the parade that he's

1807
01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:24,440
Speaker 3: the greatest thing since Pepperoni Pizza.

1808
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:26,519
Speaker 2: And he might be, and I still got to see it.

1809
01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 2: Don't tell me, show me.

1810
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:30,920
Speaker 3: Coming up, we do have another edition, a chock full

1811

Speaker 3: of Craziness Chris Perfets World of Soccer.

1812
01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:36,040

Speaker 3: You know it. You've come accustomed to it. Soccer's played

1839
01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:47,040
Speaker 3: twenty four to seven three sixty five and about four

1840
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:50,600
Speaker 3: million countries around the planet. Yeah, we're already looking ahead

1841
01:42:50,880 --> 01:42:54,200
Speaker 3: to the Olympics in twenty twenty four. Well, there'll be

1842
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:57,920
Speaker 3: plenty more storylines. That's why every week at this time

1843
01:42:57,960 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 3: we bring you Chris Purfett's Soccer.

1844
01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:16,320
Speaker 8: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drama.

1845
01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:15,679
Speaker 1: I am.

1846
01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 4: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

1847
01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 12: It's been a bit of a slow week here for

1848
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:26,680
Speaker 12: the World of Soccer. We do have YUEFA Euros qualifying

1849
01:43:26,720 --> 01:43:29,120
Speaker 12: that have been going on for quite a while now,

1850
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 12: so it's a good time as any as we look

1851
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:33,920
Speaker 12: around the world and realize we should probably talk a

1852
01:43:33,960 --> 01:43:37,439
Speaker 12: little bit more about one of the oldest rivalries that

1853
01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:41,679
Speaker 12: has captured the imagination of the entire globe. And it's

1854
01:43:41,680 --> 01:43:45,960
Speaker 12: not between two teams but two players, Leonel Messi and

1855
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:50,840
Speaker 12: Cristiano Ronaldo, the two best in this generation to ever

1856
01:43:51,160 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 12: play this game, maybe two of the best of all time.

1857
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:58,599
Speaker 12: Now of the two, we have to speak of recent

1858
01:43:58,680 --> 01:44:02,759
Speaker 12: news for Lionelle. See he's playing in his final match

1859
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:06,240
Speaker 12: of twenty twenty three for Inter Miami. Inter Miami is

1860
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 12: not going to the MLS Cup playoffs, they are I believe,

1861
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:13,479
Speaker 12: thirteenth in the table and they will not make it

1862
01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 12: by any stretch of the imagination. Inter Miami will instead

1863
01:44:16,560 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 12: gear up and prepare for next year, where they hope

1864
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:21,960
Speaker 12: to capture the Cup and maybe even more, and Leonel

1865
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:25,160
Speaker 12: Messi will get some deserved time off from what has

1866
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:29,000
Speaker 12: basically been a parade around the United States to bring

1867
01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:33,960
Speaker 12: Messi mania to Americans. For Cristiano Ronaldo, it's been a

1868
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:37,559
Speaker 12: little more complicated, much as Leonel Messi has been putting

1869
01:44:37,600 --> 01:44:39,160
Speaker 12: down roots in the United States.

1870
01:44:39,200 --> 01:44:41,840
Speaker 1: Funny enough, a route from Cristiano.

1871
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:44,680
Speaker 12: Ronaldo was put down in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

1872
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:50,120
Speaker 12: when Cristiano Ronaldo Junior, aged thirteen, signed to All Nasers

1873
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:55,200
Speaker 12: under fifteen club. Now Cristiano Ronaldo himself plays for the

1874
01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:57,519
Speaker 12: senior Al Naser club and is the one where he

1875
01:44:57,560 --> 01:45:00,240
Speaker 12: gets paid a lot of a lot of money. And

1876
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 12: to be clear, Christiano Ronaldo Junior wants to follow in

1877
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:06,320
Speaker 12: his father's footsteps. From everything we know, he's been tipped

1878
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:08,560
Speaker 12: to make it as professional and he's already played for

1879
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:12,799
Speaker 12: the academy sides for Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United.

1880
01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:17,720
Speaker 12: All three of those clubs where Cristiano Senior happened to play. Now,

1881
01:45:17,760 --> 01:45:19,880
Speaker 12: I know Lebron James wants to be able to play

1882
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:21,719
Speaker 12: with his son Browny at some point.

1883
01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 1: However, with Cristiano Ronaldo.

1884
01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:26,080
Speaker 12: At thirty eight and really pushing the end of his

1885
01:45:26,240 --> 01:45:29,920
Speaker 12: career and Junior at thirteen, I don't see any kind

1886
01:45:29,960 --> 01:45:35,160
Speaker 12: of team up happening by most stretches the imagination. That said,

1887
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:37,040
Speaker 12: it's one of those things that does make you feel

1888
01:45:37,080 --> 01:45:39,720
Speaker 12: a bit old when you see the next generation of

1889
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:42,720
Speaker 12: a legendary player starting to come up and starting to

1890
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:43,519
Speaker 12: really get in there.

1891
01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:44,800
Speaker 1: Cristiano Ronaldo was.

1892
01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:47,400
Speaker 12: Also in the news for a bit of a lesson

1893
01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:51,880
Speaker 12: in how weird social media can get. A viral claim

1894
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 12: went around, starting on Instagram and then quickly picked up

1895
01:45:56,439 --> 01:46:01,360
Speaker 12: by several tabloids and a few newspapers that Christiano Ronaldo

1896
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:08,400
Speaker 12: was facing ninety nine lashes in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Now,

1897
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 12: this requires a little bit of backstop to go back

1898
01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:15,479
Speaker 12: through the story. Ronaldo and al Nasser came through Tehran,

1899
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:19,639
Speaker 12: the capitol to play the Iranian club Persepolis for an

1900
01:46:19,680 --> 01:46:23,320
Speaker 12: Asian Champions League group match. While he was there, he

1901
01:46:23,439 --> 01:46:27,920
Speaker 12: met the Iranian artist Fatima Hamiini now Fata Hamimi is

1902
01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:31,320
Speaker 12: a bit famous because she's eighty five percent paralyzed. She

1903
01:46:31,520 --> 01:46:38,040
Speaker 12: paints instead with her feet and these paintings are unbelievably remarkable.

1904
01:46:38,200 --> 01:46:42,920
Speaker 12: She makes some fantastic stuff, and she showered Christiano Ronaldo,

1905
01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:46,120
Speaker 12: one of her favorite players, with gifts, including several portraits

1906
01:46:46,160 --> 01:46:49,519
Speaker 12: of him. Pictures were shown on al Nasser's official account,

1907
01:46:49,560 --> 01:46:53,840
Speaker 12: in Hamimi's own Instagram account of the striker, the Portuguese

1908
01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:57,759
Speaker 12: striker meeting her, hugging her, kissing her on the side

1909
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:01,160
Speaker 12: of on the chic as is your in custom, and

1910
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 12: just hugging her from her wheelchair. This somehow turned into

1911
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:07,600
Speaker 12: a story where this was believed that this ran a

1912
01:47:07,640 --> 01:47:11,320
Speaker 12: foul of the Iranian law against adultery, which comes with

1913
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:12,839
Speaker 12: the punishment of ninety nine lashes.

1914
01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:13,759
Speaker 1: That's false.

1915
01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:16,719
Speaker 12: I know that really set the storm on fire earlier

1916
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:19,640
Speaker 12: this week, but it's not true at all. On x

1917
01:47:19,800 --> 01:47:23,880
Speaker 12: formerly known as Twitter, the Iranian Embassy in Spain put

1918
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:26,120
Speaker 12: out a post that said that they strongly deny the

1919
01:47:26,160 --> 01:47:30,080
Speaker 12: issuance of any court ruling as any international athlete in Iran,

1920
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:32,040
Speaker 12: and it went on to say it should be know

1921
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:35,040
Speaker 12: that Ronaldo traveled to Ran in September eighteenth and nineteenth

1922
01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 12: to play an official soccer match and was very well

1923
01:47:37,439 --> 01:47:40,320
Speaker 12: received by the people and the authorities. His sincere and

1924
01:47:40,400 --> 01:47:43,559
Speaker 12: humane meeting with Fata Mahamimi was also praise and admired

1925
01:47:43,600 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 12: by both the people and the country's sports authorities. We

1926
01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:50,479
Speaker 12: have a habit sometimes, and I think the Western media

1927
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:53,360
Speaker 12: has a habit sometimes of taking a place like Iran

1928
01:47:53,520 --> 01:47:56,439
Speaker 12: and assuming the worst of it. We're at even the

1929
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 12: best of times. This is one of those that I

1930
01:47:59,080 --> 01:48:02,600
Speaker 12: think caught on like a wildfire for something very innocuous,

1931
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:04,559
Speaker 12: and someone just had a bit of a laugh on

1932
01:48:04,600 --> 01:48:09,680
Speaker 12: social media about it and rest assured it's it's alluring

1933
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:12,760
Speaker 12: to think the worst of a country like Iran, but

1934
01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 12: it's just not true. Iran and its professional clubs play

1935
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 12: in an organized sport and they understand that they're part

1936
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:22,679
Speaker 12: of an international community. Now, maybe this is also because

1937
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:26,360
Speaker 12: Christiano Ronaldo happens to be a very powerful individual and

1938
01:48:26,439 --> 01:48:29,320
Speaker 12: could never be tried under such any kind of laws

1939
01:48:29,320 --> 01:48:33,280
Speaker 12: that people imagine. But the story was always far fetched.

1940
01:48:33,400 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 12: What's far less far fetch is what's about to happen

1941
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:39,240
Speaker 12: in the Belondire. The annual award given out by France

1942
01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:43,160
Speaker 12: Football and recognized by FIFA as basically being the best

1943
01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:48,800
Speaker 12: footballer or MVP for the entire world. There Cristiano's significance

1944
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:50,320
Speaker 12: is severely diminished.

1945
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:52,880
Speaker 1: He wasn't even nominated.

1946
01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:56,040
Speaker 12: For the award this year, and depending on sources that

1947
01:48:56,320 --> 01:49:00,320
Speaker 12: I've heard, Lionel Messi is a shoe in over Manchester

1948
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:04,200
Speaker 12: City striker Earling Holland. Well know on October thirty when

1949
01:49:04,200 --> 01:49:07,559
Speaker 12: the award is given. But if Lionel Messi was to

1950
01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:11,439
Speaker 12: win the Men's Blondire, it would extend his lead over

1951
01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:16,120
Speaker 12: Cristiano Ronaldo, his rival in this regard, to eight Bolondiors,

1952
01:49:16,120 --> 01:49:20,200
Speaker 12: while Ronaldo remains at five. The two have gone back

1953
01:49:20,240 --> 01:49:24,080
Speaker 12: and forth repeatedly. Their fans have gone back and forth repeatedly,

1954
01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:28,439
Speaker 12: insults hurled at the opposing player, and fans on social

1955
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:31,640
Speaker 12: media degrading the record of the other while pumping up

1956
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:36,519
Speaker 12: the stats and influence of their own chosen. There's even

1957
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:40,920
Speaker 12: a site out there dedicated specifically to this question, Messi

1958
01:49:41,120 --> 01:49:45,919
Speaker 12: versus Rinaldo dot app and it has the all time stats,

1959
01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:50,160
Speaker 12: all the awards of both players. Cristiano Ronaldo at thirty eight,

1960
01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 12: has a few years older than Leonel Messi, and his

1961
01:49:54,200 --> 01:49:58,200
Speaker 12: window closes a little bit faster. Leonel Messi, meanwhile, has

1962
01:49:58,240 --> 01:50:00,640
Speaker 12: taken up in the United States, where he's seemed to

1963
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:05,479
Speaker 12: be playing more competitive football than someone like Cristiano Ronaldo,

1964
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:08,720
Speaker 12: who's playing in the Saudi Super League in spite of

1965
01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:11,280
Speaker 12: the Saudis trying to get more and more started and

1966
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:14,160
Speaker 12: to influence and improve.

1967
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:15,719
Speaker 1: The footprint of their own league.

1968
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 12: However, I think the big thing here has been the

1969
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 12: World Cup in Leonelle Messi's favor, the one that has

1970
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:24,880
Speaker 12: eluded him for so long. That said, adding an eighth

1971
01:50:24,920 --> 01:50:29,280
Speaker 12: blondieure to the trophy case is another notch in his

1972
01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:32,720
Speaker 12: belt over Cristiano Ronaldo. And don't believe that these two

1973
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:35,280
Speaker 12: don't recognize that they're in a race with each other

1974
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:38,160
Speaker 12: to see who is the best between the two of

1975
01:50:38,160 --> 01:50:41,880
Speaker 12: them of this generation. Two years ago, when Lionel Messi

1976
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:45,400
Speaker 12: won his seventh Blondiere in twenty twenty one, he said

1977
01:50:45,439 --> 01:50:48,400
Speaker 12: after the ceremony he was confident that nobody would be

1978
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:50,960
Speaker 12: able to surpass his record, and he said quote, I

1979
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:52,960
Speaker 12: don't know if the record's beatable. I just have to

1980
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 12: accept it, but I'm not sure if it can be beaten.

1981
01:50:55,160 --> 01:50:57,760
Speaker 12: Seven is really impressive. It was seen at a very

1982
01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:01,040
Speaker 12: slight as a very slight shot. It's Christy onto Ronaldo

1983
01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:03,800
Speaker 12: at five. But you know what's more impressive than seven?

1984
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:04,599
Speaker 4: Eight?

1985
01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:08,400
Speaker 12: And we'll find out in a few days if Leonel

1986
01:51:08,479 --> 01:51:11,680
Speaker 12: Messi will indeed make it eight. Until that time, this

1987
01:51:11,720 --> 01:51:13,400
Speaker 12: has been the world of soccer there.

1988
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:14,880
Speaker 11: It is Chrisophett's world of.

1989
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 3: Soccer, and there's never a dull moment. We started this

1990
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:24,240
Speaker 3: segment prior to the Men's World Cup a couple of

1991
01:51:24,320 --> 01:51:27,840
Speaker 3: years ago and it caught on and it's a situation

1992
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:30,599
Speaker 3: where there's always things in the news and we want

1993
01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:32,840
Speaker 3: to cover it all here on the Bernie Frader Show.

1994
01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:36,200
Speaker 3: Speaking of that coming up, Connor Stallions is about to

1995
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:40,439
Speaker 3: become a household name. If he's not already. What's up

1996
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:44,360
Speaker 3: at Michigan, I'll explain. I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're comedy live

2010
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:45,960
Speaker 3: Appreciate certainly appreciate all the efforts. All right, So look,

2011
01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:48,400
Speaker 3: I talked about this at the top.

2012
01:52:48,200 --> 01:52:48,759
Speaker 2: Of the show.

2013
01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:52,280
Speaker 3: I don't really know where the story is going to go,

2014
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:55,680
Speaker 3: but for now I can tell you this. Michigan has

2015
01:52:55,720 --> 01:52:59,400
Speaker 3: suspended as staffer by the name of Connor Stallions as

2016
01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:02,759
Speaker 3: a result of the NCAA and the Big Ten and

2017
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:08,720
Speaker 3: what they are deeming as their signs stealing investigation and

2018
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:12,639
Speaker 3: ward Manual. The athletic director for Michigan said that Stallions

2019
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:16,360
Speaker 3: was suspended with pay. He's listed as a member of

2020
01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:20,479
Speaker 3: Michigan's recruiting department. He specializes in analytics and he's got

2021
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:24,160
Speaker 3: an interesting background. Stallion's retired from the Marine Corps back

2022
01:53:24,200 --> 01:53:27,240
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two, he joined Michigan staff as an analyst.

2023
01:53:27,960 --> 01:53:31,479
Speaker 3: He had volunteered at Michigan in various capacities. I guess

2024
01:53:31,479 --> 01:53:33,799
Speaker 3: he'd worked with the Navy football program.

2025
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:35,400
Speaker 2: He recently de.

2026
01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 3: Activated his Lincoln account his LinkedIn bio, which I guess

2027
01:53:40,160 --> 01:53:44,880
Speaker 3: he stated quote that his background is quote useful in

2028
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:48,720
Speaker 3: identifying the opponent's most likely course of action and most

2029
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:53,840
Speaker 3: dangerous courts of action, and identifying and exploiting critical vulnerabilities.

2030
01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:59,040
Speaker 3: So apparently, now Stalliance has been identified as a person

2031
01:53:59,080 --> 01:54:04,800
Speaker 3: of interest in this NCAA investigation and they're seeking information

2032
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:10,479
Speaker 3: about how the methods that were used in decoding other

2033
01:54:10,520 --> 01:54:15,840
Speaker 3: team signals. Now signce stealing itself isn't illegal in college football,

2034
01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:22,800
Speaker 3: but there was a bylaw that was written into well

2035
01:54:22,840 --> 01:54:25,720
Speaker 3: there's the Department of Redundancy. Department ran into their bylaws

2036
01:54:26,160 --> 01:54:30,160
Speaker 3: section eleven point six point one, which bands quote off

2037
01:54:30,200 --> 01:54:33,800
Speaker 3: campus in person scouting of future opponents in the same season,

2038
01:54:34,440 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 3: which means, I mean you can look at game film

2039
01:54:36,640 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 3: how we did that in high school coaches which game film,

2040
01:54:39,640 --> 01:54:43,120
Speaker 3: but you cannot send a scout to scout a team

2041
01:54:43,400 --> 01:54:46,320
Speaker 3: in season if you're going to play the team later

2042
01:54:46,360 --> 01:54:50,160
Speaker 3: that season. Now you could before nineteen ninety four. And

2043
01:54:50,200 --> 01:54:57,600
Speaker 3: interestingly enough, what happened was they decided to eliminate that

2044
01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:02,680
Speaker 3: luxury for or the schools I could afford it. It

2045
01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:05,200
Speaker 3: became a situation a half versus the have nots. Right,

2046
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 3: if you're a power five school, maybe even a Group

2047
01:55:07,440 --> 01:55:10,600
Speaker 3: of five school, maybe you've got the athletic budget to

2048
01:55:10,760 --> 01:55:12,040
Speaker 3: send people on the road to do that.

2049
01:55:12,920 --> 01:55:15,200
Speaker 2: But if you're you know, a big.

2050
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:17,360
Speaker 3: Major or a smaller school trying to find your way,

2051
01:55:17,400 --> 01:55:19,920
Speaker 3: you don't have that kind of autonomy. So they did

2052
01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:23,440
Speaker 3: it more to create an equal playing field more so

2053
01:55:23,760 --> 01:55:26,560
Speaker 3: than the actual advantage you may or may not get right.

2054
01:55:28,040 --> 01:55:30,800
Speaker 3: I'm interested in learning more about the Stallion's guy. He

2055
01:55:30,880 --> 01:55:35,000
Speaker 3: developed a rep inside the Michigan program for his knack,

2056
01:55:35,360 --> 01:55:39,240
Speaker 3: you know, for decoding opponent's signals. And they said he

2057
01:55:39,280 --> 01:55:42,600
Speaker 3: was kind of a savant, he was exceptional, extremely bright guy,

2058
01:55:42,760 --> 01:55:47,040
Speaker 3: and so on and so forth. And you know, it's

2059
01:55:47,080 --> 01:55:49,440
Speaker 3: been talked about in the big tent, right, so this

2060
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:55,720
Speaker 3: is not something that just apparently cropped up. It has

2061
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:57,680
Speaker 3: in terms of the rep are Todd, You're seeing it

2062
01:55:57,720 --> 01:56:00,840
Speaker 3: everywhere you see. All the major publications report on it

2063
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:05,560
Speaker 3: because on the heels of what happened with Jim Harbaugh

2064
01:56:05,560 --> 01:56:07,720
Speaker 3: and the cover ups worst than the cheeseburger which we

2065
01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:11,320
Speaker 3: all get turned into Level two violations and they poked

2066
01:56:11,320 --> 01:56:14,600
Speaker 3: a bear. Then they got into the zoom call violations

2067
01:56:14,600 --> 01:56:17,640
Speaker 3: and practice violations and things of that nature. It got

2068
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:20,879
Speaker 3: resolved and Harbaugh had the self imposed three game suspension.

2069
01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:23,880
Speaker 3: It's been pushed off to twenty twenty four. Here's what's

2070
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:29,520
Speaker 3: basically happening and why Connor Stallion's name is well, he

2071
01:56:29,600 --> 01:56:30,920
Speaker 3: might be a household name if you.

2072
01:56:30,880 --> 01:56:35,000
Speaker 2: Follow college football.

2073
01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:37,240
Speaker 3: Because Michigan is now facing a new NCAA investigation. These

2074
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:41,720
Speaker 3: are allegations the team broke scouting rules. Okay, so what

2075
01:56:41,880 --> 01:56:44,880
Speaker 3: is happening here? The NCAA and the Big Ten they're

2076
01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:51,520
Speaker 3: investigating Michigan for violating rules about in person scouting of

2077
01:56:52,040 --> 01:56:54,600
Speaker 3: future opponents. The key is is that if you want

2078
01:56:54,600 --> 01:56:57,919
Speaker 3: the details, you can read about it and Yahoo Sports

2079
01:56:58,920 --> 01:57:02,280
Speaker 3: pretty in depth piece done by Ross Dellensher and Dan Wetzel,

2080
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:06,160
Speaker 3: and the Big Ten did confirm in a statement that

2081
01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:09,320
Speaker 3: the NCAA in fact notified the conference that they were

2082
01:57:09,320 --> 01:57:15,400
Speaker 3: investigating these allegations of sign stealing by Michigan and their

2083
01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:16,280
Speaker 3: future opponents.

2084
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:17,720
Speaker 2: Michigan's future opponents.

2085
01:57:17,400 --> 01:57:21,400
Speaker 3: Have been notified, right And what's the specific So I

2086
01:57:21,480 --> 01:57:23,160
Speaker 3: know it sounds like I'm repeating myself, but just for

2087
01:57:23,240 --> 01:57:28,280
Speaker 3: the purposes of emphasis, Michigan's being investigated for allegedly sending

2088
01:57:29,680 --> 01:57:35,760
Speaker 3: individuals to attend games of scheduled and possible opponents of

2089
01:57:36,280 --> 01:57:39,760
Speaker 3: upcoming you know, opponents for the same season. Why they

2090
01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:43,200
Speaker 3: want to gather information on the signs they used for

2091
01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:47,160
Speaker 3: offensive and defensive plays? Right now, Again, as I said,

2092
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:51,600
Speaker 3: sign stealing's not you know, explicitly prohibited ed or INCA rules.

2093
01:57:51,640 --> 01:57:55,040
Speaker 3: But you can't send an in person scout on game

2094
01:57:55,160 --> 01:57:56,760
Speaker 3: day to a future opponent.

2095
01:57:56,840 --> 01:57:57,560
Speaker 2: That's the issue.

2096
01:57:57,560 --> 01:58:01,200
Speaker 3: It's also illegal to use electronics equipment to send information

2097
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:04,680
Speaker 3: about these stolen signs, and I'm not accusing Michigan of

2098
01:58:04,760 --> 01:58:08,640
Speaker 3: doing that, And it's not clear if Michigan had done that. Apparently,

2099
01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:12,640
Speaker 3: two other teams that faced Michigan this season told Yahoo

2100
01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:17,320
Speaker 3: Sports they very much became aware that Michigan had their

2101
01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:20,760
Speaker 3: play science. So this is just someone highly charged issue

2102
01:58:20,880 --> 01:58:22,960
Speaker 3: or it could be a big nothing. I just don't know.

2103
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:25,640
Speaker 3: It's too new, but it's gained a lot of traction,

2104
01:58:25,840 --> 01:58:29,480
Speaker 3: especially since Michigan six and zero. They played Michigan State

2105
01:58:29,560 --> 01:58:32,880
Speaker 3: later tonight. They're already being scrutinized by the NCAA for

2106
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:37,160
Speaker 3: trying to lie to investigators about recruiting violations. Then he

2107
01:58:37,200 --> 01:58:41,040
Speaker 3: had the school imposed suspension, and Michigan has designs on

2108
01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:44,680
Speaker 3: getting back to the playoffs again this year. That's why

2109
01:58:44,720 --> 01:58:47,240
Speaker 3: this is a big story. It also involves Jim Harbaugh

2110
01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:49,800
Speaker 3: has become very polarizing. It's gonna do it for the

2111
01:58:49,800 --> 01:58:52,839
Speaker 3: Bernie Fradres Show back on these airwaves Saturday night at eleven.

2112
01:58:53,160 --> 01:58:56,160
Speaker 3: Keep it locked up next Anthony Gargano and Jason Fitz

2113
01:58:56,160 --> 01:58:57,200
Speaker 3: and Fox Sports Radio
