Dodgers and 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays tied at two apiece, Dodgers coming to 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: bat in the top of the sixth inning, Dodgers got 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: out to a two run lead. Var Show with a 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: two run homer to tie things up, and here we 22 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: are now top of the sixth inning, and so far 23 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: kind of what we thought it was gonna be. We 24 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: talked about this game earlier in the week. The first 25 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: thing we said, I said Mike, was, Hey, Dodger's gonna 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: get a little bit of a bounce in the pitching department. 27 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: Now not quite worre suddenly all of a sudden, they're 28 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: just gonna get racked. And Blake Snell's gonna get up 29 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: five runs in the first two innings, but they're not 30 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: gonna throw like they did in the NLCS, and the 31 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: Dodgers are gonna have to hit to make up for that. 32 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: And so far tonight that's been the night for Blake Snell. 33 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: You know it throws a tons of pitches in the 34 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: first inning, really gets in trouble, but gets out of 35 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: a big bases loaded jam. But twenty nine pitches in 36 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: the first inning means we might get to the bullpen 37 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: a little bit sooner than we expect. But he has 38 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: settled down a bit, but still touring Homer by var show. 39 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: So here's a two to two game in the sixth inning, 40 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: when normally at this point in the playoffs for Blake Snell, Hey, 41 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: it's four nothing or you know we're going, hey are 42 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: we going right to Sasaki? Is anybody else gonna get 43 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: to play? So a little bit of a bounce from 44 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: the pitchings that which is what what we talked about, 45 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: and that's that's what's happened so far for this game one. 46 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, but high wire acts for both guys out of 47 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 3: the gate and you know, pitch count rising, but pitching 48 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: out of jams a big mistake obviously to VARs show. 49 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 3: But you know, working the counts, getting deeper into pitch 50 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 3: counts and what they're seeing and and again some good 51 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 3: plays defensively to thwart some of the potential threats. But 52 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 3: as we get into the sixth, yeah, the curiosity, all 53 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: the relief pitchers for both staffs standing at the rail 54 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: waiting for that call to come down, because like the 55 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: than O snap, it is inevitable. We're getting into those 56 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: pens here fast. 57 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, we we had it right on the over 58 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: under last night for ya Savage's innings pitch right his 59 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: total outs right we had we had. 60 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 3: Total outs was fourteen and a half. 61 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: He had twelve. So all right, so yeah, us we're 62 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: winners snell at eighty four pitches right now, I assume 63 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna go out there for at least one more, 64 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: and he'll definitely go out. 65 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, he was at seventeen and a half for those 66 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: keeping track at home. 67 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: So I assume what one more for him at least 68 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: and if it's a quick inning, two more. But at 69 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: this point, if you're Blake Snell, I mean, really, you 70 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: tell Dave Roberts when you're ready to come out, right, 71 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 1: like in a two to two game, a tight game 72 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: like this, you're Blake Snell, You're the best option we have. 73 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: Clearly he tells him when he's ready to go out. 74 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: So I assume another inning, maybe two from Snell to 75 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: get them through the seventh. But again, you know, a 76 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: lot of baseball left and is still two to two 77 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: here at the top of the sixth. 78 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, as we watched this unfold, you know, 79 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 3: you mentioned the fact that the Cruise control here in 80 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: the prior rounds, and and take from that what you will. 81 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 3: I mean, the Blue Jays come loaded for bear and 82 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: ready to go coming off of that hard fought al series. 83 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: But for Blake Snell, it's like five innings to earned allowed. 84 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: It's like, okay, you feeling okay? I mean you just 85 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 3: got used to. 86 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 4: Imo, right, man? 87 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? Man? What's right? Hey? 88 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 3: You could utitalize before you came to the plane.

The thing is, 92 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: it's never gonna be too soon for that joke. It's not. 93 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be too soon for that. It's not. 94 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 4: There's a lot particularly, man. 95 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 3: We talked about it a little bit yesterday, but like 96 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: the Windoors thing of like, yeah, they do things and 97 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 3: kind of shut things down or tried to make it 98 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: go away. 99 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 4: It's like, no, no, no, you all know this from 100 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 4: your household. 101 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: You know this. 102 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 3: As a student, you do badly out of test. Eventually 103 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: your parents are finding out that you could. 104 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: We used to get like they used to send yellow 105 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: cards home for attendance to let you know, like in 106 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: every week when your kid missed school that week, like 107 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: and if something happened, like if we were seniors and 108 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: we skipped a day to go to the beach or 109 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: something else, whatever it was, we always be like, Okay, 110 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: I gotta be home Friday, because that's when you know, 111 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: whatever time the mail comes, I got to be home 112 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: and I gotta grab that yellow card on Friday before 113 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: my parents get it, because it's just a big card 114 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: that said your son daughter was absent on the days highlighted, 115 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: and we're all like, okay, now let's go get you. 116 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: Like you're right. 117 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: The plot of Matilda, someone's gotta be home to side 118 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 3: for the packages. And in this case it was interrupting 119 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 3: or maybe every Saved by the Bell episode that ever 120 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 3: was well. 121 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: You know, a lot more on the on the gambling 122 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: scandal in a second, because stuff today was just I 123 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: was embarrassed for the NBA. But look, the other thing 124 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: out of Game one of the World Series is so 125 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: far it's two big Dodgers mischances that that just you know, 126 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: may come back to bite him in the ass. On 127 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: this one is bases loaded in the second inning, already up, 128 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: won nothing and Otani grounds out to first, right like 129 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: that's a okay, Like that's a big chance, a boy, 130 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: that's the guy you ought up there, bases loaded to 131 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: out is a guy gonna get a hit in every 132 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: one of those situations? No, but still that's a mischance, 133 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: the bigger mischance and this is what I keep coming 134 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: back to. And this might be the play of the game, 135 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: depending how this game finishes. But Dodgers get their third 136 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: run in the third a second run in the third 137 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: inning on a base hit to right by Will Smith. 138 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: Now there's nobody out, and there's runners at first and second. 139 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman is at first, and you know Freddie Freeman 140 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: is not fleet to foot again. You watch Freddy Freeman running, 141 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: You go, when is his hip replacement? When is the 142 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: hip perplacement for Freddie Freeman right? And he singles to 143 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: right field and and okay, so now it's gonna be 144 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: two nothing, Dodgers first and second. Nobody out for some reason, 145 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman, who saw where the ball was, he saw 146 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: where it went, He saw that Straw was coming up 147 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: with it in shallow right right field, and he's still 148 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: round second, way too far, and then puts on the brakes. 149 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,119 Speaker 1: Straw throws behind the play, which is an incredibly smart 150 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: thing to do. It takes the Dodgers out of a 151 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: big inning and Freddie Freeman gets caught up in a rundown. 152 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: So instead of first and second, nobody out to nothing, 153 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: and this game could get broken open. It's now runner 154 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: at second, one out, runner at second, two outs, blue 155 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: Jays get out of the inning right like that was 156 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: such a huge base running mistake from a guy who 157 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: should know better. And that's why I say this is 158 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: mischance and a huge mistake by Freeman, is that it's 159 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: not like he was aggressive and he tried to you know, 160 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: I'm trying to stretch this. I'm trying to make something happen. Okay, 161 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: I get that. You could agree or disagree, but I 162 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: get the thought behind it, right, I understand it. This 163 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: was I didn't get any of it. You're not going 164 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: to even if even a straw throws home, you could 165 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: get thrown out going to third base, right, even if 166 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: that happens, you could get thrown out. And I don't 167 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: get how again, because he saw the whole play right 168 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: when the ball went by him, he gave a peek 169 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: back and saw exactly where he was getting the ball 170 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: in right field, and still Freddie Freeman round at second 171 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: base like he was going on to third. And then 172 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: maybe he did it himself, or he saw the or 173 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: he saw the hold up sign from third base, but 174 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: it was too late because the throw came behind him 175 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: and they get out of the inning. That was such 176 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: a huge mistake. I mean, you go from first and second, 177 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: nobody out, and all of a sudden, Blue Jay's nerves 178 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,679 Speaker 1: are jittery and and this game could be four nothing 179 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: before you even get to the end of this inning. 180 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: And instead everything is calm down. It's one out runner 181 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: at second, and you Savage can focus on the rest 182 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: of the inning and not worry about the fact that 183 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: he was wild, that he was putting guys on, he 184 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: was walking guys, the pressure lesson. That was such a 185 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: huge mistake by the Dodgers, bigger than otani strikeout, because 186 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: that took them out of what could have been a 187 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: really beginning. Yeah. 188 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 3: I mean, look, the strike zone has been interesting, to 189 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 3: say the least over the course of this game. 190 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: On both Yeah, yeah, for both sides. Sides both. 191 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 4: I mean you mentioned the Otani strike act was that 192 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 4: was that a strike? No, it was not. 193 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: But what was interesting about the freedom play was literally 194 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: the half inning prior, the Blue Jays ran themselves out 195 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 3: of potential potentially an opportunity right where Clement tried to 196 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 3: go to third and took a great throw from snell 197 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 3: over at first to swing it over to to get 198 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 3: the out, but trying to be aggressive and you know 199 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 3: you're you're not winning these games one nothing, So I 200 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 3: try to temper my disgust or disdain or or whatever 201 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 3: emotion you want to put on it. 202 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 4: Going all right, I get it. 203 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 3: They're they're they're trying to rattle things and open open 204 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: stuff up. But by the same token, you can't give 205 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: up outs on the base paths because you've got too 206 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 3: many thumpers in the lineup coming up with more opportunity 207 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 3: to break things open and trying to chase these guys 208 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: out even earlier, right you, Savage is long gone. Now 209 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 3: we look at Snell coming into the bottom of the 210 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 3: sixth tie game and he's got you know, the heart 211 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 3: of the order up right now. 212 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, that could wind up being the 213 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: biggest player of the World Series Game one of the 214 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: World Series so far, again, depending how this goes, because 215 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: you talk about the pressure of hey, here's something where 216 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: man first, since that, we're feeling really good because now 217 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: here comes Bets and here comes Freeman, here comes you know, 218 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: we're feeling you know, or here comes the bottom.

But even think about it. 222 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: Get the top of the first right, two quick outs 223 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 3: and then you know the old chant like you had 224 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: in Little League where they t hey start the chant 225 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: everything after two and bases load Nanny, he's able to 226 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 3: get var show to fly out.

Yes, 462 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 6: there are games being played in Charlotte, which, by the way, 463 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 6: went blue pass the over. So that's what really matters 464 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 6: in the sports fold right now, all right. 465 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: Now, as we get to this slate tomorrow, I wanted 466 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: to be honest with me, am, I a good college 467 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: football fan or a bad college football fan, that my 468 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: favorite game of the day is UCLA Indiana. 469 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, you're not crazy. Okay, in terms of one, you're 470 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 6: in a stude college football fan because tomorrow's play the 471 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 6: game sucks. But for the most part, I mean, how 472 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 6: about just from a curiosity standpoint, because what if it's 473 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 6: not gonna happen? But I wrote column this week kind 474 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 6: of saying, you know, look, it's not gonna happen, but 475 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 6: what if what if UCLA wins this? Because there's a 476 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 6: whole bunch of factors that play here that kind of 477 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 6: overshape the season, because one that means UCLA is actually 478 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 6: really good. They just beat the number two team in 479 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 6: the country. They still have a game at Ohio State 480 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 6: and at USC. They're not going to win any of them, 481 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 6: don't But what if they did? You know, first of all, 482 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 6: they'd go to the Big Ten Championship, which would be insane. 483 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 6: And then even if they lost like close, wouldn't you 484 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 6: have to put an eight and five UCLA team in 485 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 6: just because it beat the one, two and three. But like, 486 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 6: on the more realistic aspects, the fact that if UCLA 487 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 6: just plays Indiana tough. It kind of got lost in 488 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 6: the phrase that after de Shaun Foster got whacked the 489 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 6: first game under the Skipper regime was against Northwestern and 490 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 6: no one thought anything of it because, oh, well, TCLA, 491 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 6: they're awful or whatever. Meanwhile, Northwestern has played really, really 492 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 6: well over the last several weeks or so, and it's 493 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 6: got a funky game tomorrow and if it somehow beats them, 494 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 6: then Nebraskt team. This is gonna get a lot weirder 495 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 6: in the Big Ten before it gets settled. 496 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 3: I do like the fact that you did bring up 497 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 3: that it is the Skipper era. It is not new 498 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 3: Heisley is not the head coach. 499 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, nobody nobody cares about that doesn't matter. 500 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 6: But you know what, if you got here like Jerry 501 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 6: new Heizel, you know, no. 502 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 3: It's I'm jealous of it as well. So I mean 503 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 3: we got that going on. Plus twenty six for those 504 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 3: keeping tracking home, all right, is Brian Kelly getting fired 505 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 3: at the end of tomorrow's game if he loses. 506 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 6: Gosh, you know what, it's so funny that it's not 507 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 6: a crazy thought, but it's someone has to lose in 508 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 6: the sec it kind of gets forgotten by here, like 509 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 6: Billy Napier, Okay, fine, it didn't work at Florida, And 510 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 6: like you can't lose nine games in a year and 511 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 6: a half. But every single one of those losses by 512 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 6: Florida was either to a team that was in the 513 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,479 Speaker 6: College Football playoffs is going to be in the College 514 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 6: Football Playoffs, and the other two is like Texas A 515 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 6: and M when it was seven and one last year 516 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 6: and starting off, and the other one was at LSU. 517 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 6: So it's like, not everyone can go twelve and ohero 518 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 6: in the SEC and SEC fens aren't really you know, 519 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 6: cognitive of that. So it's hard sometimes to win these games. Again, 520 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 6: going back to you know, Northwestern and all this in Franklin, 521 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 6: you know gets whacked because, oh my gosh, you know, 522 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 6: you know, how dare you lose to UCA and it 523 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 6: turns out UCLA's not bad now, and oh my gosh 524 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 6: that you had the indignity of losing at home to Northwestern. 525 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 6: Well again, if Northwestern is good tomorrow, if you're Penn State, 526 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 6: you just clumped the guy who was a fourth down 527 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 6: stop in any those three games away from still having 528 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 6: his job. And then you you know, say, oh, oh, your 529 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 6: back to you austin Northwestern Ucla, Well turns out they're 530 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 6: pretty good. 531 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: P two Tech College Footballnews dot Com inside where there's 532 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: Jason Smith Mike Carman live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. 533 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: All right, game of the day, Pete. Look, it's it's 534 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: on opposite Usuley in Indiana where I'm watching UCLA for 535 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: new Heiseel's hair and Fernando Mendoza thinking he's going to 536 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: be a jet ole miss in Oklahoma. Huge game, look, 537 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: biggest game of the day obviously a couple of teams 538 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,239 Speaker 1: at six and one. Oklahoma. I feel like they're one 539 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: of those teams, like like every week I change how 540 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: I feel about them, Like I said, Wow, Oklahoma. Then 541 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, but Oklahoma. No but Oklahoma. Nah but Oklaoma, 542 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: where are you on this? All right? 543 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 6: Well here, let me let me do this for you 544 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 6: real quick. However you feel about Oklahoma doesn't matter because 545 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 6: it's going to be settled in fast Kajo. Look at 546 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 6: their last five games. That is the hardest stretch of 547 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 6: games I have ever seen a team have to close 548 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 6: with I don't have it off the top of my head. 549 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 6: I do know they close against Texas A and M. 550 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 6: But you name anyone who's ever good at football, and 551 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 6: that's who they play over. They're going to lose at 552 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 6: least two of these next five, so they cannot lose 553 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 6: to Ole Miss tomorrow. Now, on the flip side, Ole 554 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 6: Miss if it wins this thing, it might on the weird, 555 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 6: wrong Thanksgiving type of day lose the Egg Bowl. But 556 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 6: they're not losing twice. So if they win tomorrow, you 557 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 6: look at the rest of the Old Myths schedule, they're 558 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 6: in the college football playoffs because they are not going 559 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 6: to drop two more games after this one, because it's 560 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 6: a bot as breezy as it gets. Meanwhile, Oklahoma, if 561 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 6: it loses this, it's not insane to say that they're 562 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 6: going to have a hard time winning another game the 563 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 6: rest of the year. 564 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: It's Tennessee at Tennessee, it's at Alabama, it's home for Missouri, 565 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: and then home for LSU. Though that could be a 566 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: non Brian Kelly LSU right, like that could be you know, hey, 567 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: we're playing out the string right now, that that might 568 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: be the easier one. 569 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 6: Yes, but if but if we've learned this year though, 570 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 6: as soon as you whack the head coach, the team 571 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 6: is awesome. Yeah, all of a sudden, Arkansas can't be stopped. 572 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 6: I mean, they're Bobby Petrino. Trent Dilfer gets you know, 573 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 6: sacked by UAB and all of a sudden it turns 574 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 6: into you know, the Kansas City Chiefs against Memphis and 575 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 6: then you know, Deshaun Foster and Tim Skipper that sort 576 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 6: of work, you know. So it's been pretty It's kind 577 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 6: of actually not been the worst thing in the world 578 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 6: to get rid of your coach in the middle of 579 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,479 Speaker 6: the season, but it's it's the vote thing to do. 580 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 6: But I don't know if it's actually the smartest thing 581 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 6: to do with these financialized unless you think you have 582 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 6: a coach in place already because or else you want 583 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 6: to try to make your your fan base happy and 584 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 6: keep him from screaming at you. 585 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 3: Pete, I'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention 586 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 3: this matchup one of the other ranked on rank matchups 587 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 3: that we've got, because you talked a lot about Northwestern, 588 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 3: how about Vanderbilt as a top ten team against Missouri 589 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 3: chaos in college football this year year, but one that 590 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 3: has great ramifications in the conference it does. 591 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 6: You know, this actually might be the most really the 592 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 6: most important game to day because, like I said, like 593 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 6: let's say Oklahoma beats Ole miss well, kind doesn't matter 594 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,719 Speaker 6: for a little miss because they still might be get 595 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 6: in the collegeoot ball playoffs and Oklahoma still might lose 596 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 6: two more games. But this one, you know that the 597 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 6: winner of this stays alive for everything. And ALMOSTO we're 598 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 6: talking about top ten Vanderbilt. Like I still I've seen 599 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 6: this team bunch of times. I've looked at him. I'm 600 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 6: still not quite buying it. But it's very They make 601 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 6: it so simple. I know it's you know, it's done 602 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 6: so easy. Wasn't everyone do it well? Why don't you 603 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 6: just block and tackle and not make a ton of 604 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 6: mistakes and just keep the chains moving on third downs? 605 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 6: Like it doesn't seem like it should be that they 606 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 6: don't go for anything crazy. They just set up nights 607 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 6: and easy third down chances and then diego. Manzell takes 608 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 6: off with his legs and just goes and makes big 609 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 6: things happen. And then you repeat over and over and 610 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 6: over again. And that was the real thing. I mean, 611 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 6: because LS we talk about Bran You talk about Bran 612 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 6: Kelly before. Usually his offenses are great, this one isn't. 613 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 6: His defense is by far the best he's had at 614 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 6: LSU and PAVIA and that Vanderville offense just carved it up. 615 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 6: So yeah, and this will be an interesting one because 616 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 6: the winner this really is still on the thickest things 617 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 6: for everything. 618 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Pete Futech.

Now that spurs 696 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: Pelicans game just for a second on this you know 697 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: we talked about this before Opening Night, and I said, 698 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: you know, the Spurs are my dark horse NBA Finals team. 699 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: They put it all together. This is going to be 700 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: the year where Wemby becomes the best player in the NBA. 701 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: And then you watch him opening night that you know, 702 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: he's six inches taller than he was last year, and 703 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: I think he's his reach is now three feet longer 704 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: than it was, and you think, Okay, by the end 705 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: of October, we're gonna say that Wemby's the best player 706 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: in the NBA. He's fouled out of this game, okay 707 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: for the Spurs. And that's why this is a shame 708 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: because here's Wemby's final stat on the night, twenty nine points, 709 00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: eleven rebounds, nine blocks, and two assists. He almost had 710 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: a triple double with blocks, and if he obviously hadn't 711 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: fouled out, he would have likely had that. He was 712 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: twenty nine eleven and nine blocks for the Spurs, who 713 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: continue to lead the Pelicans in overtime. Despite all the 714 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: highlights we're getting from Zion in this game. I mean really, 715 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: every time I see Zion make a play like yes tonight, 716 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,720 Speaker 1: I go, man, dude, just stay healthy, just stay healthy. 717 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: For five minutes so we can all enjoy this. And 718 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 1: I mean, really, some of the stuff he's doing tonight 719 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: as athletic as we thought he was gonna be when 720 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: he came into the league.
