1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: If you were building a Pack twelve super team by

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: position groups, which school's position groups would you take. There's

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: a kicker controversy that got caught on by HBO's cameras

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: and Herm Edwards is involved. Larry Scott. Of course, he

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: puts his foot in his mouth again about players being

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: paid for their name, image and likeness. And of course

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: we go over all the games and make predictions for

8
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: this week, and we got a side of basketball on

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: the back end for you guys. I'm George Rice Stir

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: with Ralph Ampston and this is the Pack twelve apostles Ralph.

11
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: That feels like a very very important weekend for the

12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: Pack twelve. I mean there is on there's one non

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: conference game, but at some point in time, the underdogs

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: have to out winning because it is destroying the Pack

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: twelves national perception. People don't understand the parity. They just

16
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: on the East Coast. Oh they they all just suck.

17
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: That's why they lose and they don't understand it. So

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: is it important to have some dominant teams? I think

19
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: I think so because that's what people respond to. People

20
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: who don't know the sport that well, or who sort

21
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: of casually pay attention. Um, think about it like I've

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: never been. Um, I'm from Wyoming, which I say quite often,

23
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: But if I ever went to New York, Like, Man,

24
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: there's a lot of really big buildings. It's not something

25
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: that I'd be accustomed to living in Arizona being from Wyoming. Um,

26
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: but where am I gonna go? You know, I'm gonna

27
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: go look for the biggest buildings, the ones that I

28
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: read about, the ones that make me want to come

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: to that city. Like that's you know that that that's

30
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: just a normal thing that you know, the biggest and

31
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: the best is the thing that's sort of attracts our attention.

32
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: And I'm sure all the rest is worth seeing as well. Um,

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: But if you're not familiar with what's going on, if

34
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: you're not naturally sort of born into that space, then yeah,

35
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: you need something to initially get your attention. And that's

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: probably going to be a dominant team for most people.

37
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know everything in the world about

38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: the the sec um. You know, I probably know more

39
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: than most college football fans just from the level that

40
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: we have to pay attention to this stuff just to

41
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: keep up. But I but I do know that I

42
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: pay a little bit more attention to the SEC, you know,

43
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: just I always check in to see what Bama did always,

44
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: so I yeah, it's important. Um at the end of

45
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: the day, is it vital I don't necessarily think so.

46
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: I listened to a lot of people complain about the

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: fact that people treat it like it's vital um. But

48
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: then those people are sort of like pendulum shifting all

49
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: the way the opposite side of not acknowledging how important

50
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: it is to have a team that can get people's attention. Oh,

51
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: I totally agree, because look at the SEC in general.

52
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: You have you know, they have teams, granted, their their

53
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: schedule lends itself to this. I understand what the eight

54
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: conference games, the three terrible non conference games, and I

55
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: think only one or I think only South Carolina, UM

56
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: and Florida and Georgia played ten nine conference games I'm sorry,

57
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: ten Power five games this year and maybe Tech, Texas

58
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: and M I'm not sure, but you but you have

59
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: teams in the at the bottom half of the SEC

60
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: is terrible. You got Arkansas, Mississippi State, Texas and M

61
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: is severely overrated, Old Miss Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Tennessee and South

62
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: Carolina are all just dormats, dude, They're just dormats. So

63
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: and but the top put a conference is really really strong.

64
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean kind of the same thing in the Big Ten.

65
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: The Big Ten you obviously got Ohio State, Penn State,

66
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: Wisconsin is looks really good this year, and ments I'm sorry,

67
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: and Michigan is even pretty good. But the but the

68
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: rest of everybody is Big twelve got Oklahoma, Texas and

69
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: Baylor and nobody else scares you. And the A c

70
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: C you got Clemson and then nobody else scares you

71
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: except RIGI is pretty good too. I mean, that's literally it.

72
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: And in the Pact twelve you have Oregon at the

73
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: at the top, Oregon and Utah at the top right now,

74
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: and then everybody else is just kind of fighting for

75
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: fighting for the scrap. Well sorry in Arizona State, UM

76
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: and everybody else is just kind of, you know, fight

77
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: fighting to be there, fighting every single time because the

78
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: bottom of the conference. The Pact was the only conference

79
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: where the bottom of the conference has a legit chance

80
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: against the like read through three through eight, you know

81
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like in the other conferences, you don't

82
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: have that. If you're at the if you're the number

83
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: twelve team or number eleven team like U C. L

84
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: a Was, and people thought so highly of Washington State.

85
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen at other conferences. They don't win those games.

86
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: It's just not even possible for them in those years. Yeah,

87
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: I mean it becomes like a national story. Right if

88
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: Kentucky hung with Alabama for a half for a half,

89
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: not one, but if they hung with them for a

90
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: half and the in the Pact twelve, you can pretty

91
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: much expect that every single week. I mean, I'm I'm

92
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: something like eight and one the last two weeks in

93
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: picks just from relying on that information alone, right right,

94
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: and I am like three and I'm like three and

95
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: what what three three and five or something like that

96
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: it is, or three and three or six. It is

97
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 1: just awful, dude, It is just awful. Um. But before

98
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: we even get into the games and all that stuff, dude,

108
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: if you have not, I know it's a kicker. But

109
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: if you have not heard about this kicker controversy and

110
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: the softness that is going on right right now, please

111
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: please listen to Ralph explain this. Alright, So a little

112
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: bit of my background. I um, I cover high school

113
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: sports as well as college and so you know, about

114
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: half my time is taken up covering high school recruiting

115
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: some of the major West Coast recruits. Uh and then

116
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: just basic stuff, um for the high schools in Arizona.

117
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm out at two or three games

118
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: every single Friday night. And I've been doing that for

119
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: like eight years and I love it. And uh and

120
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: so I've there's a kicker who just announced that he's

121
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: leaving Arizona State. His name is Brandon Reese and I

122
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: have covered this guy for five years at least. He's

123
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: from right here in Gilbert, Arizona. He went viral for

124
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: kicking some seventy plus yard field goals with the wind

125
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: at his back. Um. It led to him committing to

126
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: Alabama and then making national news for flipping to Arizona State,

127
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: telling Nick Saban, sorry, uh, and you know all the

128
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: issues that that Alabama has had a kicker, so, you know,

129
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: being being the number one rated kicker in the country

130
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: and then calling Nick Saban to tell him that you're

131
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: to go to a s U. Um. You know, at

132
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: the same time that like his former quarterback Blake Barnett's

133
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: transferred a s U and his former wide receivers coach

134
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Billy Napiers moving to a s U. Nick Saban had

135
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: to be pretty annoyed with Todd Graham at that point.

136
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: So Brandon Reese is his name. He uh, he's a

137
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: fantastic kicker. He took over for Zane Gonzalez, who I

138
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: believe is either the Pac twelve or college football's all

139
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: time leading score current kicker for the Arizona Cardinals on

140
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: pace to break the record for most field goals in

141
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: the season right now. So he's taking over for the

142
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: best kicker, if not in Arizona State history or PACT

143
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: twelve history, maybe in college football history. And uh and

144
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: so there's a big shoot to fill and he does. Okay,

145
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: he spends two years. Uh here he goes thirty seven

146
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: or forty five. Last year he went eighteen of twenty two.

147
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: His first year in herm Edwards offense, kicked the game

148
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: winner that beat Michigan State. Probably the highlight of his career.

149
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: You know, on field goals not bad for a college kickers.

150
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: We all know how volable they can be. Uh. This

151
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: whole time, he's had a backup, a walk on named

152
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: Christian Zendejas. And if you've ever heard of a kicker

153
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: with the last name Sendas, you should have. They've kicked

154
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: for everybody. It's all one giant family. It's almost like

155
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: like the von Trapps. So we're you know, like a

156
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: Circuits family. Like everybody in this family kicks footballs, and

157
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: so Christians and Sunday has is Brandon Reese's backup. And

158
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: when her Edwards comes in, you know, just for the

159
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: spirit of competition, he opens it up and he says,

160
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, best players win at every position. And Brandon

161
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: Reese viral kicker, you know, super leg. Uh. He doesn't

162
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: like that too much. And so he's having to look

163
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: over his shoulder for an entire year, and he gets

164
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: hurt going into his junior year this year when everybody's

165
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: really excited to see what he can do, because if

166
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: if you know anything about her Edwards led offense, it's

167
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: that the kicker is gonna end up getting a lot

168
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: of chances to score points. He comes into this year hurt,

169
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: and it was a little bit of a surprise to

170
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: everybody that he was hurt. Nobody knew that he wasn't

171
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: starting their first game until he didn't come out for

172
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: it in pads. So the Zendejas, the backup kicker up

173
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: to this point in the season, has has held down

174
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: kicking duties. He's ten of thirteen. He's doing okay. I

175
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: think he won Pack twelve Special Teams Player of the

176
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: Week one week. Um and also they give him a scholarship.

177
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: A su gave him a scholarship for his efforts. Well,

178
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Reese looks at that and says, like, the backup kicker,

179
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: who I'm constantly worried, is gonna take my job because

180
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: this coach that didn't recruit me, you know, had opened

181
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: it up for a competition. They've given quotes to the

182
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: media about how accurate this kid is um, even though

183
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: you know Reese has a much stronger leg. They've given

184
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: clotes to the media about how accurate this kid is.

185
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: Now they're giving him a scholarship, and he's he's pretty paranoid, right,

186
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna lose my job, going from the best

187
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: kicker in the in the entire country to not not

188
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: having a job. So he decides to transfer. Well, a

189
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: s U needs him, so they talked him out of transferring,

190
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: and he uh he Um. The story is what a

191
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: SU's telling people is that he went out for the

192
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: Colorado game and he was healthy and ready to go,

193
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: and there's plenty of videos out there of him kicking

194
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: fifty plus yard field goals in warmups against Colorado. But

195
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden he announced like, actually I'm

196
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: not healthy and uh and so that put her Edwards

197
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: in a position. Um too in a press conference this

198
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: week in front of HBO's cameras to say that Brandon

199
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: Reese actually like tweaked something and is still hurt. And

200
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: then right after the press conference, Brandon Reese announces that

201
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: he's going to be grad transferring from a s U

202
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: with two years of eligibility left. Um. And so you know,

203
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: the story is he was putting out there is that

204
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: basically this kid faked his injury so that he could

205
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: red shirt because he doesn't want the competition with somebody

206
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: who A s U has repeatedly told him like, is

207
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: not better than him, is not ready yet you're the guy. Uh.

208
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: So Brandon Reese comes off pretty bad in this, but

209
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: also is probably one of the top five kickers in

210
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: the country and anybody in in college football would be

211
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: crazy to not want him. Um. But the the A

212
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: s U Twitter has been a buzz with calling this

213
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: kid about every every name in the book. Some people

214
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: are wishing him well, um, but there are quite a

215
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: few people even like former a s U punter um

216
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: is on here, you know, uh call calling them all

217
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: sorts of names and calling them out and stuff. And

218
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get your take, George on I

219
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: have you've ever heard of anything like this of the starter?

220
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean, do we watched Derek gin quit um then

221
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: he was a starter as a Houston quarterback, but this

222
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: feels a little bit different. This is absolutely ridiculous. So

223
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: first of all, you are on track to break all

224
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: of the college football records, right, I mean, he's he's

225
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. And he in this offense. I mean, had

226
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: he been healthy this year, he'd be at forty seven

227
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: field goals too, in that quarter years into his college career. Okay, So,

228
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: and then you got zendejas who can't kick field goals

229
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: over over forty yards or bear barely over forty yards

230
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: and her medwords need take kicker who can kick the

231
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: ball over forty yards and just in this offense very much,

232
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna be kicking fifty three yard field goals all day.

233
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: And the confusing part is that he's upset that he

234
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: has to look over his shoulder that there is competition. Um,

235
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: how about check every other position group in sports in

236
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: the history of life. Dude, there is competition. Stop acting

237
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: like a softie like stop. I mean, it is just

238
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: so frustrating. There's a kid on my on my son's

239
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: football team. He ended up the starting quarterback because he

240
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: was the incumbent. Oh, the year's not going the way

241
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: where he played, And I told I told my wife this,

242
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: I told told my son this. I was like, this

243
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: kid's gonna quit because he's the kind of kid that

244
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: wants to go to a ready made high school. He

245
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: he thinks he's a double hold back. Thinks he's gonna

246
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: go in and start somewhere, and I'm like, you know,

247
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: it's a lot more difficult than you think it is, right.

248
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: And then also if you're gonna and he wants to

249
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: go to a really good program out here in in

250
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: l a and well in the in the valley, and

251
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, you got Oaks Christian, which everybody's heard

252
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: of Oaks Christians, Harri Kadian Shamanad and an Alamanni which

253
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: went down there to Arizona and beat up arizonas in

254
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: the number one team. So he wants to go to

255
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: one of those schools, right, those those schools are a

256
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: tick below you know, uh St John Bosco and modern

257
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: day like that, Like they're just a tick below there.

258
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: And and I'm like, I was talking to my son

259
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: about it after practice when he when when he told me,

260
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you do know that all those good

261
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: teams the reason why they're so good, it's because they

262
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: have a quarterback already, alright, so so or they have

263
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,479
Speaker 1: kids in the pipeline, So you're gonna have to compete.

264
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: And he thinks he's just gonna walk in there and

265
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: start and I'm like, it doesn't quite work like that.

266
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: You're going to have to compete. And he's the kind

267
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: of kid that will transfer five times if the c

268
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: if will will let let him until he finds a

269
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: place where you know, he can go be the guy

270
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: and without without you know, any roadblocks in front of him.

271
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: But here's my other part about this kicker kid, because

272
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: I think that this is very interesting because I'm wondering,

273
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: did he miss these two twenties some yard field goals

274
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: on purpose? Because if he's that accurate, you don't just

275
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: miss twenty some yard field goals one maybe, but not

276
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: too especially after a video kicking fifty yards like this lane.

277
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: So that the story is that in warm ups of

278
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: the Colorado game that he um made some long field

279
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: goals and then missed some chip shots and said that

280
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: it was because he was hurt, and you know, a

281
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: s U was saying, no, it's because you want to

282
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: preserve your red shirt, and you know, we try to

283
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: convince you to leave or to stay, and and and he,

284
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, he hesitated that the best thing for him

285
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: to have done here is just to say like I

286
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: want to leave and then left, but to like double

287
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: back and then and then you know, be be in

288
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: a situation where you're being accused of, uh of faking

289
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: an injury so that you don't have to play. It's

290
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: pretty serious. It's pretty serious stuff. Not serious enough, I'm

291
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: telling you, not serious enough if you're a fan of

292
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: any other college football team to not want him on

293
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: your team immediately. I mean, he's gonna be in ridiculously

294
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: high demand. And I think that's so, that's part of it.

295
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: It's just knowing that, right. So we're sort of in

296
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: a culture where it's it's it's I'm gonna go somewhere

297
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: where I'm more appreciated. Oh do you know where? Do

298
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: you know where he'll be appreciated? Do you know where

299
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: he'll be appreciate. I will take him and all his

300
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: little soft baggage, and I will, I will fly them

301
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: up to Eugene myself. I will, I would pay for

302
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: a ticket and his relocation myself to get him to

303
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: go kick for Oregon. I think Oregon's kicker is like

304
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: three for four right now this season. I think he's

305
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: three for four. I mean, and the reason why his

306
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: first field goal was I met one for four. I

307
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: didn't meant three three four yeah, I meant one for four,

308
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean he missed three for four. Yeah, dude, his

309
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: first field goal was his first mate. Louis's first field

310
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: goal mate was last week. And the kicker who was

311
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: there last year he transferred. I'm mean, it's just absolutely astounding,

312
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: Like how bad Alabama and Oregon for two really good teams,

313
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: well known programs who can recruit very well, their kicker

314
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: situations are just unthinkable. I mean, it is just unbelievable

315
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: how often that they have bad kickers. I mean, it

316
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: is just it's just fascinating to me. And and if

317
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: people know college kickers, college kickers are unreliable, very unreliable. Um,

318
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: but the well, he he went three for three at

319
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: Oregon last year, so you know he can kick up

320
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: in Eugene. Yeah, yeah, dude. It's it's it's it's easy

321
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: to kick there. In the majority of the time, you're

322
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: not even gonna have to kick fifty yarders. You're gonna

323
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: be kicking forty eight because they're always close to the hand, Zoe.

324
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: So just so just just make your field goals and

325
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: you'll be the most beloved kicker there, the most beloved kicker,

326
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: Like they will love you for may can feel goes dude,

327
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: um but but but this kid potentially missing the field

328
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: goes on purpose. This is like me and my wife

329
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: like when when there comes like some piece of paperwork

330
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: that I don't really want to fill out, Like there

331
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: have been times where I feel, I know she's not

332
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: gonna listen to this, So if you know her, please

333
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: don't tell her. There have been times where I have

334
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: incorrectly filled out paperwork like years ago, because she's so

335
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: great at it and she does it better anyway that

336
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: and she and she just at times feels like, oh

337
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,479
Speaker 1: my god, I wish you would do some of this too,

338
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: or a couple of couple of times I didn't do

339
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: my best effort on this paperwork and then she saw

340
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: it and she was like, let me, let me just

341
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: have I'll do the pay paperwork, you do this this

342
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: other stuff. And I'm like, cool, no problem, which is

343
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: what I wanted. So I gotta sabotage the situation to

344
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: get with it um onto the next thing. So uh

345
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: as the Pack twelve teams by position groups and Ralph

346
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: tweeted out earlier this week, if you were building a

347
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: Pack twelve super team, who would you which position group

348
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: so not each individual player will get to that on

349
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: another episode, but because that completely changes things whether you

350
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: would take a player or the entire position group. So

351
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: if you were building a pack twelve team by position group,

352
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: we can even start with punter. Well, will start with

353
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: punter and go all the way up to the most

354
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: important position, quarterback. And I'll start off first if I

355
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: am going with a position group, I mean, nobody knows

356
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: or has seen a backup punter punt, so so so

357
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: guess what You're just gonna take the best best water,

358
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: and that is Michael Turk from Arizona State. The kid

359
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: is I'm assuming his dad is Matt Turk because because

360
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: these kicking things, these kicking family. Yeah, yeah, it's his yep.

361
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: So so yeah, Arizona States in the family business now

362
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: and both the kicking and punting departments Turkins and day Huts.

363
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: So I am going with Michael Turk in the kicking department.

364
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: Who you got, Ralph, Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm probably gonna

365
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: have to go with the same. Um just from watching

366
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: his opening game this year where he I mean it

367
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: honestly felt like he was going to kick the ball

368
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 1: to the moon. Um and also somehow managed to have

369
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: touch on the ball when necessary, and he's i mean,

370
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: outside of that first game, which was the best I've

371
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: ever seen a punch or play in my entire life.

372
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not being hyperbolic. Uh, he's had a good year.

373
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: Um No, it's it's not anything been anything like that

374
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: first game that was you know, that was Kobe scoring

375
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: eighty one, you know, But like the rest of the year,

376
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: he's been pretty good. And so you just have to

377
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: assume that, like his baseline is really good and he

378
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: has it in him to do really special things, so

379
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: it would be hard to go with any any over him. Yeah. Yeah, dude, Dude,

380
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: his his longest seventy five. He's got twelve punts inside

381
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: the twenty ten fifty plus yard punch and nobody else

382
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: is even close. And he's only got two touch backs

383
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: and he's averaging forty eight yards a punt. I'll tell you,

384
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: I hope he wants to try and transfer. What'll We'll

385
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: take him at Oregon too, even though even though our

386
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: punder this year is not not bad, he's fourth in

387
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: the conference, so I'm not mad at that. Um kicker

388
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: kicker zen Day has has the most I mean, well,

389
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: he's doing pretty pretty good, but but he can't kick

390
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: long field goals, so I gotta go with so if

391
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: I needed a like, if I needed a kick for

392
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: the win, I was either debating between jet Toner because

393
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: he's made a lot of big kicks, but then I

394
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: gotta go with the kid Peyton Henry from Washington who's

395
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: eleven for eleven. That's what I want is my kicker

396
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: this year. But last year he shanked one against Oregon,

397
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: so so he might choke or either either he's a

398
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: choke potential choke artist like normal college kickers, or he

399
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: was just a freshman any and that was one of

400
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: those growing experience. If you're just going off of accuracy,

401
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: then you know, maybe you go Colorado or or Washington.

402
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: You want somebody who can or or Washington. Yeah, if

403
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: you want somebody to kick along field goals, and Washington

404
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: States kicker is seven for seven on the year, two

405
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: for two from fifty plus, So I mean seven folds

406
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: through five six games is enough to show me that

407
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: you can do the job. And be in two for

408
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: two from over fifty is the thing that you know

409
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: my team is probably gonna need. So I I'd take

410
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: Washington state kicker or kickers. Blake Blake mys I, Blake

411
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: mys I, all right, who are you taking on? Who

412
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 1: are you taking at the D line? Put position? What

413
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: position group are you taking? Utah Bradley and I are

414
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: Lucky Foe too. I think are probably two of the

415
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: five best defensive linemen in all of college football. They

416
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: play on the same team. Um, I think that that's

417
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: the strength of Utah's team. And I don't really have

418
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: Utah represented anywhere else uh in this and so I

419
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: think that that, yeah, to me, they're the They're the

420
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: one I have to go with. And I would agree

421
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: with you there because aside from like like there aren't

422
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: any necessarily dominant fronts this this year like you may

423
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: have seen at Washington a couple of years ago. Um,

424
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: like you may have seen at you know, like or

425
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: or at Oregon when they had like the Forest Buckner

426
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: and Eric Armstead on the same line. Like that's like

427
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: you don't have that right now in the conference, Like

428
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: you have a couple of really good ones. So I

429
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: went with Utah as well. And I think that uh

430
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: Any and Foe to that they do a really good

431
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: job of being disruptive. But in second place, I would

432
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: have Oregon in second place, but not not now that

433
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: Cumberlander is down and I don't know. Yeah, um, who

434
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: do you have old line? Offensive line? I had it. Um. Uh,

435
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: this isn't necessarily a tie. Uh, but because I definitely

436
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: take Oregon first and foremost, I think that they've they've

437
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: shown that that they are have the most consistent uh

438
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: offensive line and and have done the best in both

439
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: uh you know, pass block and run block. But I

440
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 1: do really like what Washington has um you know, uh,

441
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: even outside of Nick Harris, they've got a ton of size.

442
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: You know, they kind of made the exception for Nick

443
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: Harris because he's really special player. Everybody else is just enormous.

444
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: And I feel like for the most part, um, they

445
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: played pretty well. And so then I have the best

446
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: game in the world against Stanford. But nobody, nobody in

447
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: Washington's team played well, and so I wouldn't put the

448
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: blame on them at all. But so I'd say it's

449
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: not it's not even a one A and one B situation.

450
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: But I mean, if it was like a draft type

451
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: thing and you took Oregon before me, I'm taking Washington

452
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: and not even happen. Yeah, I got Oregan's office the line,

453
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: and and it's because, first of all, they have the

454
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: single best offensive lineman in the entire conference and it's

455
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: not close and he's only a sophomore. The kid, Piney Seul,

456
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: Oregan's left tackle, hasn't allowed to sack since he's been

457
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: in college, I don't think. And he hasn't had a

458
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: penalty either. I mean he's been playing dudes. He handled

459
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: his business at Auburn and they have the best defensive

460
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: line in the country. And mean it just and physicality

461
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: is just I mean, this dude just looks for contact

462
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: and and it almost looks like he's trying to hurt

463
00:26:54,440 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: people like hurt defenders. He's amazing. Uh So Penel, Shane, Shane, him, you,

464
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: Jake Hanson, Dallas, Womack, Um and black Meyer have all

465
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: been really good all year. That's my d line. Who

466
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: you got? I'm sorry, that's my old line. Who do

467
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: you have at tight end? Who? What group are you

468
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: taking a tight end? Uh? This is another one where

469
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: Washington sort of my runner up. Um I do. I

470
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: I really really like what Washington has going on. But

471
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: if you don't have if you're not taking Stanford's tight ends,

472
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you doing here that I feel

473
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: like that's the most obvious position group of every of

474
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: every single one that we're going to talk about, maybe

475
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: outside of wide receiver. Uh, you gotta go with Stanford's

476
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: tight ends. And it doesn't even matter what year it is.

477
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter what year it is. But they again,

478
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: they have special guys out there this year, um who

479
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: maybe aren't incorporated in the offense as much as they

480
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: should be, UM, but they all seem to to to

481
00:27:54,960 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: do pretty well um post uh post collegiate least. So uh. Yeah,

482
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: I feel like this is probably the, if not the

483
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: most obvious one of the second most obviously. I think

484
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: that code Cody Parkinson's a good a good player, think

485
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: that he is, you know, he's an NFL talent, all

486
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: all of those things. But for this year, uh, in

487
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: terms of well, actually, it depends on what what I

488
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: wanna do with my with my offense, because I want

489
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: guys to be able to run, pat run, catch the

490
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: ball and all of that. And when you the only

491
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: other group that the group that I'm gonna go go with,

492
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Washington's tidy and group. They've been

493
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: much hyped but you got ka Dot and then you

494
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: got Hunter Bryant and Hunter Bryant, and they're very good

495
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: players who did not show up again. Correct and and

496
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: and that's my one knock is that Hunter Bryant is

497
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: not interested in the blocking game at all. Like he

498
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: wants to be a wide wide receiver split out, and

499
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: that's not I mean, he's not a big guy. It's

500
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: funny because he's like the same side I was in college.

501
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: He's actually I'm a little bit bigger. He's six, he's

502
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: six to two forty. I was six three two forty

503
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: and tot. And except for he's not interested in the

504
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: running game at all. He wants to be split out.

505
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: He wants to be a wide receiver, which I don't

506
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: necessarily like because I like complete tight ends and Kate

507
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: Iden does a lot more of the dirty work. He's

508
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: a little bigger, six five to fifty. But I think

509
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: that together they make one really good tight end. So

510
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: that's why I'm gonna think the Washington died in group. Um,

511
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: who do you have at linebacker? Uh, this one might

512
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: surprise some people because I don't think everybody pays attention

513
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: to what's going on in the Pactels South UM, but

514
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: I have Arizona State because they have three guys who

515
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: could start for anyone in Merlin Robertson, Tyler Johnson, and

516
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: darry and Butler. They're all extremely young, they're all sophomores.

517
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: UM just incredible, incredible football players, UM and UH and

518
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce has done a great job getting them here

519
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: and coaching them up UM. And then they their their backups.

520
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: Kaitlin Curse Thomas is the lone senior in the group.

521
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: He could probably play for half the teams in the

522
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: Pac twelve. And then they've got a walk on middle

523
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: linebacker twenty one year old freshman Case Hatch who is

524
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: a complete monster. UM. I feel like he can play

525
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: for ten and ten of twelve of the of the

526
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: Pack twelve teams and start. And then Kyle Soli, who

527
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: is very, very very talented outside linebacker, who was another

528
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: guy I feel like I could play for ten different

529
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 1: teams in the Pac twelve. And on the recruiting end,

530
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: they just keep getting guys UM and so a lot

531
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: of it has to do with just Antonio Pierce being

532
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,719
Speaker 1: in that position as the as the head of that

533
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: group that they keep bringing in talent. So I want

534
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: to bring the coach with uh to ensure that that

535
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: position group just keeps, you know, re refilling um. But yeah,

536
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: I really really like what Arizona State has going on.

537
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: I like how young they are. Uh, they've all been playmakers.

538
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: One of them, Darian Butler as a captain. Merlin Robertson

539
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: has just look at this way. You remember that score

540
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: in Eugene and at halftime between Oregon and Arizona State

541
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: last year, Well, Merlin Robertson was suspended for the first

542
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: half UM for a targeting called the previous game. When

543
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: he got into the second half, Oregon didn't score again.

544
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: So that that was that was another issue that was

545
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: that wasn't him, That was a that was a coaching issue.

546
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: They and it wasn't the first time that they had

547
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: trouble scoring in in a second half. They didn't. It

548
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: was just a complete disaster Oregon's offense last year. It

549
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: was a disaster, especially in the second half. But but

550
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: but yeah, but you can keep giving him on a

551
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: credit if you want to give him on the credit,

552
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: Like I think the kids good it. I'm not taking

553
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: Arizon the States linebacking crew. You are biased here Ralph,

554
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: you are you You've You've seen so much of them

555
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: that that that they're almost like your your your cat

556
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: amasdon group. You know, you know it's okay, though, Um,

557
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm taking Cow's linebacker group. I got Evan Weaver and

558
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: I got Ding. Who are Evan Weaver already has eighty

559
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: four tackles number one in the conference, forty eight solo tackles,

560
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: and then who He's averaging fourteen tackles the game. Nobody

561
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: is even within three and a half tackles of this dude,

562
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: and then you got there. You have to when you

563
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: take Cal's linebacker group, though, do you have to commit

564
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: to playing like a like? All right, so we're a

565
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: four three because we need to filter everything to Evan

566
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: Weaver because otherwise, well, actually no, you don't because because

567
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: Ding is getting nine tackles the game too. I mean,

568
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,239
Speaker 1: but you filter everything too too, uh to Weaver and

569
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: Ding because they make tackles. They did the same thing

570
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: with with Ray Lewis when he was in uh Baltimore.

571
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: You just cover cover, uh. You have the d line

572
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: take up all the blocks and then you keep him clean.

573
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: And that's what they do. And so I can't knock it.

574
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't care what we front, we play. He's a

575
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: tackling with change. I'm taking how's I'm taking Cow's lineback

576
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: and crew? What dbs are you taking? Uh? This is

577
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: a one A and one V situation for me. I

578
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: got I've got Cal in a s U. Oh lord,

579
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: oh lord, Okay, I know you have an issue with it,

580
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: and I do. I do like, uh what organ is doing? Um?

581
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: I just I feel like the two uh that have

582
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: shown that they can, you know, defend against the pass

583
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: the most and are the deepest. Because we're talking about

584
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: position group. We're not just talking about the guys who

585
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: are starting, like, we're talking about the higher group, all

586
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: the safeties, all the corners. And because of that, and

587
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: and and part of this is from being so bad

588
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 1: for so long. You know, both Cal and a sure

589
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: were in the hundred and teens in passing defense just

590
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: three or four years ago. So they had to rebuild

591
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: through depth, both of them. And and look at what

592
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: they've done just in that short period of time. They've

593
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: completely switched their mentality, They've completely switched their style. Um,

594
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: they're a lot more aggressive, they're super deep. Arizona State

595
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: at Corner has two three year starters. That's unheard of

596
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: in college football. So they've got two three year starters

597
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: and the nickel corner is Jack Jones, former five star. Uh.

598
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: Their safeties have been their best players. Cal as a

599
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: unit plays better together than anybody that I've seen in

600
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: a while. Um, it would be awesome if I could,

601
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: if I could make my pick. First of all, Cal

602
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: hands down would be my pick. But it would be

603
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: great if I could reach over and steal a guy

604
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: from Oregon, like Thomas Graham or something like that. What

605
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: do you want, Thomas Graham? Are you here? Here's the deal?

606
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: But you really finished. But because it's a full position group,

607
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: because it's everybody I I don't have Oregon in there

608
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: in Oregon should not be the number one team. They

609
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: shouldn't they. You can debate that they're the number two

610
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: team over a SU but the clear cut number one team,

611
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: the number one defensive that group is Colt. You got

612
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: Cameron buying him, Aston Davis, Jalen Hawkins, and Elijah Hicks.

613
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: This is I mean. And you got Acton Davis, who's going,

614
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: who was a former Walker, who's gonna be probably a

615
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: first round pick. He's number twenty seven, I love this kid.

616
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm in love with the way he plays. He's physical,

617
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: he's smart, he's he's the kind of guy. Their coach

618
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: told me that he's the kind of guy that will

619
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: drop that if it's a fourth down and he has

620
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: a clear inner interception and it's not like a clear

621
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: runback opportunity, he'll just knock the ball down instead of

622
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: instead of intercepting the ball. That that's the kind of

623
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: guy is that. He's like, I'm clearly gonna get tackled here,

624
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: so now just not knock it down because it's fourth

625
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: down and we'll take the ball way back there. And

626
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: I like those kind of guys. So for me, cal

627
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: is a clear cut. You like the waffle a little bit,

628
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: and and give and give credit to uh, to other

629
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: other people, you know, give people participation trophies. I'm not

630
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: about to participation. I'm saying, I just want to watching

631
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: from Jada Neils, not throwing picks. Call um defensive that group.

632
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know what I don't I don't know

633
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: what you want me to say. He didn't have the

634
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: best game of his life exactly. No, And and that's

635
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: the thing about it. No quarterbacks have the best game

636
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: of their life in the last two seasons, Like truthfully,

637
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: the last two seasons against Cow's uh defense, they're they're

638
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: defensive backs specifically, There's only been one quarterback that had

639
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: a great game against them one and that's Gardner Minshew.

640
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 1: In two seasons, one quarterback has had a great game,

641
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: and he didn't and he barely pulled that great game

642
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: out at the very end in the fourth quarter he

643
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: had like a hundred fifty yards passed and going into

644
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter ended up over three ended up with

645
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: like three thirty or something like that in a in

646
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 1: a win. Um, who do you have at Now? Now

647
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: we get to the fund groups, the the the money makers,

648
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: the people who end up on all the billboards, all

649
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: of that. What running back group are you taking? Oh

650
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: this is this is tough just because, um, people will

651
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: think it's weird. I think that. But Oregon State, like

652
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: Oregon State, Um, there our Tavis Pierce and Jamar Jefferson

653
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: are like the exact type of running back that that

654
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: I like. Um, they're they're almost interchangeable. Um. They just

655
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: run hard, right, they go north south, they run hard. Um,

656
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: you need to take the whole group as a whole.

657
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: So you can't just be taking a you know, a

658
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: top player. Um, and then if I had a runner

659
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: up here And I know you accuse me of waffling

660
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: or whatever, but not even Arizona uses their running backs.

661
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: But I really like Arizona's running back group. I think

662
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: that they're five deep with guys who could all be

663
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: eight hundred plus yard rushers if they were, you know,

664
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: more featured in that offense. But they don't like to run,

665
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: so they don't have the best offensive line either. But

666
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: I think the talent there. And I've got plenty of

667
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: tweets when I tweeted this out that like, oh, you're

668
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: just taking Arizona's running backs because is a running back? No, yes, no,

669
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: whoever said that, congratulations, you're telling the true. But I mean,

670
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go with Arizona. First. I like Oregon States

671
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: running backs. I love the situation that they have that's

672
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: I mean, to pair them with everybody else would be fantastic.

673
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: Like imagine those two running backs on a team that

674
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: could block for them. And I'm not saying Oregon State's

675
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: offensive line is bad, because it is not, but like

676
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: imagine them with Stanford's old line or or Stanford's healthy

677
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: O line or Oregan zold line, like you wouldn't have

678
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: to throw Yeah, yeah, I and I we are lock

679
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: step in that one. I agree. Uh. And then truthfully,

680
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: there haven't been a lot of running back groups that

681
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of the The only other one

682
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: that we could even consider at all would be U C.

683
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 1: L A. And that's because obviously, uh, Dimitric Felton has

684
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 1: transition from being a wide receiver into being a running

685
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: back and I think he's leading leading the conference in

686
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: all purpose yards. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that. And

687
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: then I think that I think that Oregon has some

688
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: some are not Oregon um, and I think that Utah

689
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: has some a really good situation out there. But the

690
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: one thing that I've always noticed about Utah is like,

691
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 1: you don't go off unless you're the feature back for sure,

692
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure. And then and then you said,

693
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: like the other back there is Joshua Kelly. So yeah,

694
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: so I would have to give them a lot of credit.

695
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: But but first, obviously you I think you do have

696
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: to take Oregon State because for because first and foremost

697
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: they are the they are the only position group that

698
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: has two guys in the top ten in rushing in

699
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: the pack twelve. So yeah, ohh, I mean I, like

700
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: you said, I'd love to take, you know, but like

701
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: his backup hasn't even been to practice in A Yeah, exactly,

702
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: so I don't think. Oh and just it. Just so

703
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, Tate is in the top twelve in rushing

704
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 1: in in the pack twelve. I'm just I'm just saying.

705
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm just saying and and and he's also number three

706
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: in passing yards per game. So you know. Anyways, UM

707
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver crew, who are you taking? I think this

708
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: is an easy hand found, dude, to even after like

709
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: I would, I would probably take USC's one to three,

710
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: and then the second group I would take is USC's

711
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: four five. This is the easiest thing in the entire world. Like,

712
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: you could open this up nationally and I would, and

713
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: then I'd be sitting there debating Alabama USC. I I've

714
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: been screaming USC all year that they have the best

715
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,760
Speaker 1: wide receiving crew. I know that Alabama has Jerry Judy

716
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: and Rugs, but beyond those two that, like, yes, they

717
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: have some talented guys, but it's not like when you

718
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: go one to three, four for U C. L A.

719
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for for USC one to three four, Pittman,

720
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: stut Of. Yeah, Pittman, st Brown and Vans. You can

721
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: match those three up with anybody in the country, anybody.

722
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: Oh and those are all three dudes that Alabama wanted

723
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: really good to. So yeah, no, there there's nothing quarter quarterback.

724
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: Who are you taking? Ralph? This should this should also

725
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: be a layup? Oh it is for me just because

726
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean I watched a lot of Tyler Schuck in

727
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: in high school. Um, and I think that if there's

728
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: ever been a more perfect like back up for the

729
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: starter who can do a lot of the things that

730
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: the starter can do. I mean he's not he's not

731
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: as fast, um, but they're they very much stylistically are

732
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: the same as passers. And that's you know, justin Herbert

733
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 1: and Tyler Schuck and so um yeah for for me

734
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 1: knowing that it's the whole position group. And yeah, Herbert

735
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 1: is playing great and he's got a lot of high

736
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 1: YadA YadA YadA whatever. But but Tyler Shuck, if anything

737
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,439
Speaker 1: ever happened to Herbert, I don't feel like the drop

738
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 1: off would be all that much. Tyler Shuck is somebody

739
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm super high on. If if you can keep him clean.

740
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: He is going to eat defenses alive. I cannot wait

741
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: to see what he does up there. Yeah. I'm excited

742
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: to see him play too, mainly because Oregon's backup quarterback

743
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 1: situation have been so bad for so long. Yeah, yeah, Taylor,

744
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: when when Taylor Ali came in had to play you,

745
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: I mean you, You've had so many It's been a

746
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: litany of guys. I mean, goes back to t TCU

747
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 1: in the bowl game, being up thirty zero, the quarterback

748
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: getting getting hurt and at right before halftime, and then

749
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: you can't even get a first down after that. I

750
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: think they got like two first downs in the second half.

751
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: It was bad. Um, but but a group tried to

752
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: compete with the Oregon group at first, and that was

753
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: usc And then we found out their backup quarterback situation

754
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: wasn't quite as good as we thought it was. That

755
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: it was really the wide received verse. So and uh,

756
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: stan Stanford's quarterback situation is not terrible either, only because

757
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 1: but if kJ Costello had played better this year, then

758
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: I would have gone with Stanford as a group because

759
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: they got uh kJ Costello. Uh. David Davis Mills, who

760
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 1: who's played well, and then they had their third string

761
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: quarterback come in against Washington and he even played well

762
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: so and and finished out the game. So you know,

763
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: so the Oregan is my one and Stanford is my

764
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: is my two. I'm I'm and now Ralph can call

765
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 1: me out for being a hypocrite because I just wanttled

766
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: to quarterback is like the healthiest position in the whole

767
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: back twelve. Like I I like Oregon State situation. I

768
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: think that it's fine. Um, obviously Washington yeah, and and

769
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: obviously like Washington State couldn't figure out what they were

770
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna do until the and they got two seniors that

771
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: deserves mentioning. I think Grant Gonald's gonna be fine in

772
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: in Arizona. So I think they've they've got a pretty

773
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: good situation. Arizona State, if Jade Daniels goes down, has

774
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: two other freshmen and a red shirt jr. Like, they'll

775
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: be okay U c l A. For as terrible as

776
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: they are, I don't think it's been all on the quarterbacks.

777
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: And I think they have to two that are pretty talented.

778
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: Let's get on to the games, which I'm excited about

779
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: this this weekend because because if my prediction is right.

780
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to feel like a genius. The most important

781
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: game in the back twelve this week, the most important

782
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: game aside from UM, aside from the the top teams

783
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: actually winning Oregon Oregon facing Colorado, Utah traveling to Oregon State.

784
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: UH is the l in Arizona State hosting Washington State.

785
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: The most important game besides those three, obviously is USC

786
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: had heading to South Bend. They're playing Notre Dame. Notre

787
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: Dame looks very good. USC just had a week off.

788
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: They should be back healthy when there in their secondary.

789
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: This is a rivalry game. They're playing for the Golden Chalile. UM. Uh.

790
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: Notre Dame has been pretty dominant recently. And I'm just

791
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: sitting there like, Okay, I predicted that you USC either

792
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: had to choose between the h Washington game or this,

793
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: either the Washington game or this Notre Dame game for

794
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: a game to win. So I am going with USC

795
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: in this game. UH. They're taking on their third consecutive

796
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: twenty top twenty five opponent and their fourth and five games,

797
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 1: which means that they are having a very difficult schedule.

798
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 1: This is the the ninety first meeting for the Jewels Chile. Sorry,

799
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: not not golden. It is golden, but the the Jewels

800
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: Chalile and um yeah so oh and Keaton Slova's has

801
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: been cleared for full uh full uh football activities and

802
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,959
Speaker 1: he's gonna start this weekend. I think he plays plays well.

803
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: I don't think that they put the handcuffs on them.

804
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: They just try to keep them healthy. And USC's wide

805
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: receivers go in this game and dominate. I'm picking the Trojans.

806
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: I picked the Trojans for one quarter. I'm just the

807
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: more I look at this, the more I I will

808
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: not fall for Notre Dame being for real. I will not.

809
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,439
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be that guy. But they're real enough.

810
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 1: They're real enough to give USC hell on Saturday, and

811
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: I think that that's what's going to happen. Um. I

812
00:47:54,080 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: believe that this defensive line for Notre Dame is one

813
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 1: of the best that they've ever assembled. Um. They have

814
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: just been rolling. What they did to Virginia in that

815
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: second half was I mean, it was art. And I

816
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: don't think that they're worried about USC and the slightest

817
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: and I think that Brian Kelly will be able to

818
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 1: make adjustments to whatever is happening in the passing game,

819
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: and so I do see USC kind of hanging around

820
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: much in the same way that Virginia. Did you know

821
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: their scripted plays worked out? They marched right down the field. Um.

822
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: I think Keaton Slovis, if he doesn't get rattled by

823
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: having to play in South Bend, could maybe throw for

824
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: three yards. But I just I don't trust USC defense

825
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 1: in this game to get the job done. So I

826
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: am going with Notre Dame. I do believe that it

827
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: will be a two score Irish win. Anything beyond two

828
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: scores and Clay Helton has to start looking over his

829
00:48:55,320 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: shoulder again. Oh yeah, And this is where I'm confused

830
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: about how USC fans truly feel about this game. I know, um,

831
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 1: Notre Dame is you're one of your two biggest rivals

832
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 1: between them and U C l A. But noted Notre

833
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: Dame is the most notable. So do you really want

834
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: to win this game? Because that takes Clay Helton off

835
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: the hot seat because so many USC fans want Clay

836
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: Helton gone. So do you really want to win this game?

837
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: Or do you? Because if Clay Helton beats Notre Notre Dame,

838
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: beat U C L A and possibly wins the Back

839
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: twelve South. He's not getting fired, so so I feel like, yeah,

840
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if if they if they beat Notre Dame,

841
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: you have to let him finish out the year, like

842
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: you can't. If you're gonna do a mid season firing,

843
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: it's got to happen in the next couple Yeah. Yeah,

844
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: it's got to happen after the Notre Dame game, because

845
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: if you wait after the Notre Dame game, then Clay

846
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: Helton is the kind of guy, like I've always said,

847
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: he's not gonna make firing him easy. Then they got

848
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: Arizona Colorado, who they're more more talented than both of

849
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: those teams. Then they play Oregon, which which they could

850
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: sneak up and win because their their dogar on and

851
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers are so damn good. I mean, there is

852
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: a chance that they could win the Pack twelve South,

853
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: and then you can't fire the dude. So if you're

854
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: gonna make a mid season change, it's got to be

855
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: after this this week, because he won't then come back

856
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: and lose the Arizona I I want, I could not

857
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: agree with you more. I could not agree with you more.

858
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 1: I think that that it's a it's a it's a

859
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: bitter pill. Um. But I know enough USC fans that

860
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: would take the exchange of a loss at Notre Dame

861
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 1: if for no other reason that we are currently two

862
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: months away from the from the early signing period, and

863
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: this recruiting class for USC is it. I mean, if

864
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm being like Frank, this is like a Utah recruiting class,

865
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 1: and they don't know how to handle that. Like they

866
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: they keep holding out hope that like maybe they'll get

867
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, the attention as some of these some of

868
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: these kids and they're either leaving California all together or

869
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 1: heading north to you know, staying in the Pack twelve,

870
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: but heading to Oregon. Or a linebacker, um, a linebacker

871
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: just committed to Arizona State who was probably, you know,

872
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,439
Speaker 1: if not for Justin Flow, would have been the number

873
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: one linebacker and in In Um in all of California.

874
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: They're not gonna get sooled. They're not gonna get Flow.

875
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: And I think that they're starting to panic about that

876
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: that maybe if they went out and got a coach

877
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: that could come in and recruit like right away, if

878
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: they can make this switch right away, but they might

879
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: be able to salvage this recruiting class. And so I

880
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: do know enough US fans. Let me tell you how

881
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: bad it is for and then I'll tell you the ranking.

882
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: You mentioned their recruiting class, the according to seven, because

883
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: that's what I have easy access to, and and I

884
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: know that you have the rivals information if you can

885
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: look that up real real quick in terms of the

886
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: class the class rankings. So according to twenty four seven,

887
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: they have their class ranking at next to Here are

888
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 1: the three teams in front and the three teams behind USC.

889
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: You have Toledo in front, North Texas in front, Vanderbilt

890
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: in front, then you got USC. Then you got Baylor, Temple,

891
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: and Duke, and that is number uh sixty one, sixty two,

892
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: sixty three USC at sixty four they have eleven commits,

893
00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: zero five stars, one four star, and ten three restars.

894
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:06,720
Speaker 1: This is the most I mean, this situation looks awful.

895
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you got Washington, who's climbed up to number twelve,

896
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 1: Oregons at sitting at sixteen, and I know that they're

897
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,919
Speaker 1: gonna make a late push too, because I I've heard

898
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: the rumblings of a big name there which I would

899
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: I can't quite talk about yet, but there are rumblings

900
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: of a big name out of out of out of

901
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: out of California that maybe Ralph mentioned already today. Um,

902
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: you've got Arizona State sitting at thirty three, cows even

903
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: at thirty eight. I mean, Colorado's at forty five. Everybody

904
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 1: is ahead, Washington States at fifty five. Ralph, what numbers

905
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: do you have? USC is currently the number sixty four

906
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: recruiting class in the country, behind Memphis and Vanderbilt and

907
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: one spot ahead of Oregon States. The they're they're not

908
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: in good shape right now, man, They're They're really not.

909
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: They've got a couple of the people that they have

910
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: committed are people that I've covered. Um, they're more developmental.

911
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 1: They're not really stepping and play right away. Um, guys,

912
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: the one thing that USC is really good at is closing.

913
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: And so you know that they look at last year

914
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: and getting Drake Jackson, Because here's the thing. If at

915
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: the end of the day, all of these kids are

916
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 1: truly just holding out to see what's going to happen

917
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: at USC with the coaching situation, and they really want

918
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 1: to be at USC, why would they not just commit

919
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: to USC? And then whoever ends up being the coach,

920
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 1: ends up being the coach, and so they can depend

921
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: They can probably depend on some people flipping. They like

922
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: believe that they could depend on some good players flipping

923
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: at the last minute. But as it stands right now,

924
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: they have so many kids who are just in eaten

925
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: c mode and a bunch of others who have committed

926
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: elsewhere that I mean, and and a lot of their

927
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: commitments came around the same time frame they had UH.

928
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: I think just in mid June. Five of their eleven

929
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: committed Since then, three commits, yep, three, and they haven't

930
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: had one for a month. They're probably set for the

931
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: offensive line. They're they're taking six, so that's all full up.

932
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 1: But like everything else, we talk about their receivers all

933
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:37,720
Speaker 1: the time. They've got UH one and he's been committed

934
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: since March in in Josh Jackson, like they should be

935
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 1: collect Gary Bryant out of California, LV Bunkly Shelton, Um,

936
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: you know, Brendan Rice out here in Arizona. All those

937
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: guys should be scrapping to just try to get to USC.

938
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: And it's everything that I'm hearing is that those none

939
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: of those guys are are really considering it right now,

940
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: and that's just it is. It's a weird time right now.

941
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: It's a really weird time. And maybe if they beat

942
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: Notre Dame that will wake up some recruits. But in

943
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: all likelihood, what a lot of people think is if

944
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 1: they lose the Notre Dame and they replaced Clay Hilton

945
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: and there's a new energy in the program, that that

946
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: will make the recruits who want to come around h

947
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: I mean, well, what well it it will. If that

948
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: name is urban Meyer, you will. I think you will

949
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,479
Speaker 1: have a bunch of flips. If that name is Irban

950
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: Mayer thinking about Okay, cool, We're good again. Immediately, don't

951
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: worry about it. I think you're gonna have I mean,

952
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: like you may even have Bryce Young back out of

953
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: his Alabama commitment to go to to uh U s C.

954
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: He make flip back. If urban Meyer goes UM and

955
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: Notre Notre Dames favored by eleven points in this game,

956
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: who do you? I'm picking USC, I'm taking USC, I'm

957
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm taking the points. Who are you? Who do you have?

958
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 1: I think that that's a I think that's a really

959
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: crafty spread. Um. I think twelve is where I've I've

960
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: got maybe Notre Dame with the twelve point twelve or

961
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: fourteen point win. So I'll be taking Notre Dame with

962
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: the point. Oh you judas going against the PAC twelve

963
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: but by but you do have to pick with your head,

964
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: not with your heart. Um the the the other game, well,

965
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: all all the Pack twelve games this week are extremely late.

966
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: There is not aside aside from the UM Aside from

967
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: the Washington State Arizona State game that kicks off at

968
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: twelve thirty, the USC game kicks off at four thirty.

969
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: Then you got the Utah Oregon State game at five,

970
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: then you got the Oregon game at seven, and then

971
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: you got the uh Washington Arizona game kicks off at

972
00:57:55,760 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: eight o'clock. At eleven o'clock on the East coast. You

973
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 1: know that's not affirm at o'clock either, That's like, yeah, exactly, So,

974
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: so we'll go with the next game in order. We

975
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: got the Washington State Arizona game. I'm sorry, Washington State

976
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: Arizona State game. This is such a It's on the

977
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:21,919
Speaker 1: Pack Top network. This is such a crucial, crucial game.

978
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: I feel like for Arizona State and for the conference

979
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: because Arizona the underdogs have consistently been winning, and that

980
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: Arizona State secondary that you love so much is going

981
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: to get tested. Yes they are. So do you do

982
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: you think that Mike Leach, who just had a week off,

983
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: they just came off bye week, called this team fat happy?

984
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: You know everything else is there? Like they have to

985
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: be motivated. Their defensive coordinator resigned Tracy Clay's. Is there

986
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 1: any way that Washington State was the upset in this game?

987
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 1: I think it's it's I think it's equal likelihood that

988
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: Washington State or Arizona State wins this game. I don't

989
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: think I don't see anybody really having the clear advantage UM.

990
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: Washington State has the one thing that I think UM

991
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: could exploit Arizona State's weakness UM, which is, if you

992
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: can have a quarterback who is like deadly accurate, you're

993
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: going to be able to move the ball down field.

994
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean you're gonna be able to get

995
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: the ball in the end zone. That's not what that

996
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: means at all, but you'll get yards UM. And then

997
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: Arizona State has the one thing that has been the

998
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: kryptonite for Washington State, which is a mobile quarterback. Because

999
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: even if I mean, Washington State has not been able

1000
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:53,919
Speaker 1: to spy anybody, So first to thirty is that fair?

1001
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: First the thirty wins, I think. Man if aaronon the

1002
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: thing can get the thirty, then of court, of course

1003
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: of course they'll win because proving because get getting the

1004
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: thirties difficult for them. But this, this line is interesting. Now.

1005
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 1: The line is even like neither one of these teams

1006
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: like they think that this is a pick up game.

1007
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you it, I do believe that

1008
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: Arizona State will be able to run the ball against

1009
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: this Washington State front and no. Benjamin I think could

1010
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 1: have his best game of the year. Well, actually, actually

1011
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: I think the cow was his best game of the

1012
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: year so so far, only because he got hit in

1013
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: the backfield every time and still wound up with over

1014
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: a hundred yards and two touchdowns. I thought that was phenomenal.

1015
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: Yes he did, but that's happened a couple a couple

1016
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: of times. There are sometimes that he ends up a

1017
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: catcher as a tackler as opposed to a a hitter. Um, yeah,

1018
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: and now I'll happen. That's like an NBA center who

1019
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: gets dumped on all the time. Like well, you're that's

1020
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: the position. You're game playing defense. You know. I never,

1021
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: I never really understand the hate that people get for

1022
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: for getting, you know, trucked when you got your self

1023
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: in position, probably slowed the guy down somebody else. Well,

1024
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: here's the thing is, even when Evan Weaver gets truck

1025
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: you go down like there's not Yeah he's not you

1026
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: run over him and keep keep going. No, no, there's

1027
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: a If he gets a lick on you, you're you're

1028
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: going down. Even even if you fall forward, you're you're

1029
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: hitting the turf. Um. But I'm not in love with

1030
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: Anthony Gordon the same way everybody was at the beginning

1031
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: of the season. Even when he was throwing all those

1032
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns all of that, I was just still kind of

1033
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: like he didn't feel I mean, I know that Gardner

1034
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: meant Minshew was clearly special because he's going into the

1035
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 1: NFL as a Ricky and been been pretty special. But

1036
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: it just doesn't feel like that Mike Leach has the

1037
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: quarterback he needs to be special in this offense. They

1038
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: don't have that same fire and motivation they had last

1039
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: last year. I am for the first time this season,

1040
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: I think taking Arizona State I'm saying Arizona State to

1041
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: win this game. Um, well, I actually no, No, I

1042
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:04,439
Speaker 1: took them to beat color No because Colorado one. Yeah

1043
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 1: uh so, so yeah, I'm taking Arizona State to win

1044
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 1: this game. They're playing at home. The fans. I think

1045
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: the fans have to be filling and looking at that

1046
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 1: four and one, I think they're gonna show up big.

1047
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: I think the fans are gonna show up big, and

1048
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 1: they are going to you know, put on a like

1049
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: help the team out and give a home field advantage.

1050
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: And Washington States psyche is very fragile right right now.

1051
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: So I think if they stop them early and put

1052
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: a couple of points up, that this team will fold.

1053
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean you you know this, George. October

1054
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: twelve at two pm and Temp is still pretty pretty

1055
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: toasty on the field with pads on. I mean, I

1056
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: think that could probably work to Arizona State's advantage as well. Um,

1057
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: a day game, even in early October can be tough

1058
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: for anybody coming to Temp, be much less somebody coming

1059
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: from you know, from the police, and so, um, maybe

1060
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of an advantage for Arizona State there.

1061
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: Mike Leach has kind of owned a s u UM

1062
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: their last I think they've only met twice in the

1063
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: last four years, but both times I felt like Mike

1064
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: Leach really out coached Todd Graham. Um, it's no longer

1065
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: Todd Graham anymore. And I don't know how much experience

1066
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: Mike Leach has with his air raid against the three

1067
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 1: three five defense. There's just a lot of unanswered questions

1068
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: in this game I and I feel like that's where

1069
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm at. I feel like first to thirty wins, and

1070
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: I've seen what has given Washington State trouble, and I

1071
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 1: notice there's some turmoil in the program right now. So

1072
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with Arizona State. Yeah,

1073
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,919
Speaker 1: and it doesn't feel great. But if I said Washington State,

1074
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 1: that wouldn't feel good either. So I'm gonna go with

1075
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: the home team in the daytime UM against the you know,

1076
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: the team that didn't you know, I'm gonna go with

1077
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 1: the team that didn't just fire their defensive coordinator or

1078
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: have him with hey Man. But this is the pact

1079
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: well of you already know how this goes. You already

1080
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: know how this goes. So I'm nervous enough that both

1081
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: of us are on the same side. It's like standing

1082
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: on the same side of a roadboat, like one of

1083
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: us should probably sat it on the side of a rowboat.

1084
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 1: That was a good one. That's what your better, better ones.

1085
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: That was really good. I'm might still that on another program. Um, actually,

1086
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: I am gonna still still that on the Fox Radio

1087
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 1: show this Siday. Whendn't Whenever me and Mike Harmon are

1088
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: on the same side, I would say, Oh man, it's

1089
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: like standing on the side of a rowboat. And and

1090
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: it's nasal radio, so everybody will think I invented it.

1091
01:04:54,480 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 1: Oh uh, the we got the Utah Utes at Oregon State.

1092
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: I believe Ralph he as good as Utah is. This

1093
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: is the Pack twelve. Utah should be very fortunate that

1094
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: this is not a Pack twelve after dark game. They

1095
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 1: should be thinking they're lucky stars that this is not

1096
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: a seven thirty or eight o'clock kick or a Friday

1097
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: night game, because if it were, the chaos that could

1098
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 1: ensue would be even more than what can Because Oregon

1099
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: States feeling good about theirselves, their quarterback Jake Jake Lawton

1100
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: is the Pack twelve player of the week. He I

1101
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: mean this team is playing very well. They're confident uh

1102
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Artavius Pierce, Jamar Jefferson all playing well in the running

1103
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: back spot this Ralph. I feel like this game has

1104
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:56,640
Speaker 1: an upset in the making, or at least a close

1105
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: game for three quarters in Utah pulls out the win.

1106
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, oh if I uh, it feels like

1107
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 1: fools gold Like I want to be in love with

1108
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: what Oregon States do gets things done. Oregon they if

1109
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 1: they got like Nathan Eldredge their um talented offensive lineman

1110
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: Arizona transfer, they got him back. Um. I just think that, uh,

1111
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 1: I think you need to be at absolute full strength

1112
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: if you're gonna take on Utah and win. Um. They

1113
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: have been very proficient offensively though, So I will leave

1114
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: I'll leave the door open for the possibility of some

1115
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 1: shenanigans in this game. But I we talked about it

1116
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: like you need tall buildings, right, I need Utah to

1117
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: be my tall building in the pack twelveth south and

1118
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: and take care of business against Oregon State. So I'm

1119
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna say that this, especially when when you look at

1120
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: that like Hawaii Oregon State matchup of of you know

1121
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: that or it's easy to forget especially coming off U

1122
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: C l A. The Oregon State is not that talented.

1123
01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 1: They have some really good players, but they're not super deep. Um.

1124
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: I think that the threats they have on defense, like

1125
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 1: Hamil Caarcht, will be neutralized by Utah's game plan. I

1126
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: think Utah is just playing extremely well. Um. Head to head,

1127
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Utah is just a two to three touchdown better team. UM.

1128
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give the I'm gonna give them, I'm

1129
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 1: gonna give him a ten point win, give Utah a

1130
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 1: ten point winning. This so Utash's favor by thirteen and

1131
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 1: a half points and as they should should be, and

1132
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: it's clear Utah is the better team. Agree with everything

1133
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: that you said. My only problem is that confidence is

1134
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: a funny thing, and if Utah messed around, has a

1135
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: fumble early, or you know, something weird happened, that this

1136
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: game could be a lot closer than it needs to be.

1137
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: And Oregon State is just good enough offensively. Isaiah Hodkins

1138
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 1: on the wide out, I mean like you can get

1139
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: on top of these Utah wide wide receivers at times.

1140
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: Uta USC proved at so if they can keep the

1141
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: game close, they're a big play broken tackle away from

1142
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: from Pierce Jefferson or Hodgkins away from accidentally screwing up

1143
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: the back twelve. I mean that. And and if they

1144
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: were playing in Utah, I would I would this would

1145
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,719
Speaker 1: be a wipeout. But the fact they're playing in car Valance,

1146
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 1: Utah State Oregon State fans are feeling good about their team.

1147
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: They like the direction that things are headed. They're not

1148
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 1: getting blown out there playing well. You know that that

1149
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 1: this is a dangerous team at home. They almost beat Stanford,

1150
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: which gave them a lot of confidence too, So that

1151
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: that's why I'm still picking Utah. I just think that

1152
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 1: they they pull away late. But this game is a

1153
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,600
Speaker 1: game you should be starring and checking the score in

1154
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: every now and then while you're while you're watching other

1155
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 1: games and saying, oh, this could get this could get

1156
01:08:56,439 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 1: frisky around around here. Um, so here's my question for you.

1157
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: I got one question for you on this. Because Tyler

1158
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,719
Speaker 1: Huntle He's got seven touchdowns no interception on the season.

1159
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: Jake Luton's got fourteen touchdowns no interceptions on the season.

1160
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 1: Will we see a pick who throws a pick first? Like?

1161
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: Which quarterbacks gonna break their perfect streak in this game? Okay?

1162
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: So with so with that said, I think we have

1163
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 1: to look at the stats, right, so you have um

1164
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:33,640
Speaker 1: in terms of past defense, Utah is number five in

1165
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:39,440
Speaker 1: the conference and Oregon States number seven in the conference.

1166
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:45,639
Speaker 1: They are both reasonably good teams except for the only

1167
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 1: thing is Oregon State only has what two interceptions on

1168
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: the season while Utah has seven. So I think that

1169
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: that the more likelihood is is that you have Oregon

1170
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: and State throw a pick. And then here's the other

1171
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 1: reason why is that is that UH is Jake Luton.

1172
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,560
Speaker 1: He is going to throw the ball more times like

1173
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 1: he's already thrown the ball I think like a hundred

1174
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 1: and seventies somewhere around a hundred and seventy times this season.

1175
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley is only thrown the ball like a hundred

1176
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: and fifteen. So so that I means, so you you're

1177
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: gonna have more opportunities, and Tyler Huntley is more likely

1178
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 1: to take care of the football, eat a sack or

1179
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: run it then throw a pass. So I I would

1180
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 1: say that you know that his fourteen touchdown no interception

1181
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: streak is more likely to be broken than Tyler Huntley's

1182
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: unless it's like a tip Unless it's like a tip ball,

1183
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 1: a drop ball that gets flying up in the in

1184
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 1: the air and somebody else catches. That's pretty much the

1185
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 1: only way I think. I think maybe, I think maybe

1186
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 1: Huntley throws the first pick just because they're they got

1187
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: more of a vertical offense and in Oregon State does

1188
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: more of the quick throw stuff. Um but yeah, I

1189
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: mean I could see Oregon State getting down and trying

1190
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: to force the ball into Hodgens and uh and something

1191
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: happening there. But this, it's pretty cool to be this

1192
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:15,799
Speaker 1: deep into the season, have almost three total passing attempts

1193
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: and everybody's playing games. But yeah, I mean even even

1194
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: uh Justin Herbert just threw his first interception last game

1195
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: against against Cal. I mean you have yeah, Jada Daniels

1196
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:32,560
Speaker 1: only has one. I mean, this is this is some

1197
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 1: efficient football that's been playing. Um so I yeah, so

1198
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,560
Speaker 1: we already made the picks on this game. You know,

1199
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,720
Speaker 1: it should be a wipeout, hopeing to wipe out or

1200
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 1: at least just a Utah win, but a fun watch

1201
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: at the same time, Terry got the Huskies, the Washington

1202
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 1: Huskies who who it feels like from the message boards

1203
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: and the Facebook groups that I go in and watch

1204
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: that the sky is falling for the Washington Huskies right

1205
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: now because they lost the cow and they were like, okay,

1206
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 1: no problem, we weren't going to the College Football Playoff anyway.

1207
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 1: It's fine, we'll just win the conference like we did

1208
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: last year. Then they lose to a tooth what looked

1209
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 1: like a toothless Stanford team, and now they're like, oh no,

1210
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 1: everything's bad. The wide receivers can't catch Jacobees, is not

1211
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 1: as good as we thought. The running backs can't can't run,

1212
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 1: the defense isn't great. We're doomed. So Washington is kind

1213
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 1: of reeling right right now, and Arizona is flying high.

1214
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 1: I like, and the game is being played at Arizona

1215
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: for for some reason, I'm going with I'm going with

1216
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 1: the Arizona Amason is in this game. Don't do it.

1217
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 1: Don't do what I'm telling you do not? Why not?

1218
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:54,559
Speaker 1: Oh every action there's an equal opposite reaction. I think

1219
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 1: that Washington bounces back and I think that gravity takes

1220
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: control in uh for for Arizona, and they come crashing down.

1221
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 1: I I think that this Arizona team, I won't say

1222
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: is overperformed, but they've taken care of business. They haven't

1223
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: necessarily done anything that surprised me. Um, Texas Tech maybe

1224
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 1: isn't as good as um as offensively as they have

1225
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: been in previous years. Um, it took a lot for

1226
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: them to be u c l A at home. This

1227
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: is still the same team that lost to Hawaii. They

1228
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: have that common opponent. Remember that they have that common opponent. UM.

1229
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 1: So I just you're not It's not gonna be hard

1230
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: to move the ball against this Arizona team. And I

1231
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,600
Speaker 1: just while I have faith in Ghliltate, I don't have

1232
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 1: faith in him alone. Um. The receivers for Arizona are

1233
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 1: still learning on the job, like they're there. Everyone talks about.

1234
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 1: You know, Washington's receiver is in the crap game they

1235
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:05,480
Speaker 1: put in against Stanford. Well, that's like every game for Arizona.

1236
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 1: You know, they they they are still figuring things out

1237
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 1: at that position. Um Washington's defensive line should be able

1238
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 1: to do some damage. I just I don't know. I don't.

1239
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 1: I do not like Arizona in this game. Maybe they

1240
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: maybe they'll keep it close. But I think if you

1241
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:30,560
Speaker 1: get Arizona down, especially by more than one score, you

1242
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 1: forced Khalilt and you forced no Almazony to have to

1243
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: make some calls for Khalilt that he'd rather have Grant

1244
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: Cannelle in there, you know, executing. Then you're gonna have

1245
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 1: some maybe mistakes get made. Uh oh really, oh really

1246
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: because it because you're because you're going to be asking

1247
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: you're running back to throw the ball in in uncomfortable situations,

1248
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:56,040
Speaker 1: into tight windows where play action won't work. Right. Sure,

1249
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:57,640
Speaker 1: I mean if you want to phrase it like that,

1250
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 1: or you just have a you just have a guy

1251
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: who and we've seen this at the NFL Level two

1252
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 1: in Lamar Jackson, and you know there there are several

1253
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 1: other players that are having this issue right now. Actually, um,

1254
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: Jacob Eeson did a little bit of it last week

1255
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: of you rely on your talent, so you start to

1256
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 1: throw off your back foot, you start to drop back

1257
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: fifteen yards to see if you're you know, if your

1258
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: guys will get open um. And it just it if

1259
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:27,680
Speaker 1: you try to do too much instead of just fit

1260
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: within the framework of the offense, especially when the framework

1261
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,640
Speaker 1: of the offense isn't necessarily designed for you anyway, Um,

1262
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: there could be issues. And so I still think this

1263
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 1: Washington team is very talented. I know that they have

1264
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:44,720
Speaker 1: historically really struggled in Arizona. UM, but this is a

1265
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: night game. I don't think it's gonna matter all that much.

1266
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 1: I think that they run the ball. UM. I think

1267
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 1: they learned from last week. I think they come out

1268
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,280
Speaker 1: and run the ball. And I think that, you know,

1269
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 1: if if Steven Montez had an easy of a time

1270
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 1: against Arizona as as he did, I think that Jacob

1271
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 1: Eeson is just gonna, you know, be that much better. UM. Yeah,

1272
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 1: I have no doubts about this. And this is gonna

1273
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: come back to by me. I'm sure. But I like

1274
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:14,640
Speaker 1: Washington by at least fourteen. Okay, Okay, see, I I

1275
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: don't I think that Arizona's crowd is gonna be into it.

1276
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 1: Washington's defense got run over last last week. And if

1277
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 1: and if Kevin Sumlin, if he can stick to the

1278
01:16:28,320 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 1: run game, which he hasn't been willing to do all year,

1279
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: he can to the run game, they have a shot

1280
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 1: in this game. Stanford just gave you the blueprint. Just

1281
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,799
Speaker 1: run the football, take the air out of the football,

1282
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 1: stop trying to be all fancy pants, and then play action.

1283
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 1: Khalil Tate will have wide open your son will have

1284
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 1: wide open passing lanes. Do the thing that works. It's

1285
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: on film. We you can't stop something, people keep exploiting it.

1286
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: U C l A, Oregon State or you sel A

1287
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 1: couldn't stop a nose believe running the football. So what

1288
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: did they do? Run it, run it, run it, play action,

1289
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:14,879
Speaker 1: over the top, run it, run it, run it, plaguestion,

1290
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 1: over the top, home around every time. It just works.

1291
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:21,320
Speaker 1: It's simple. Mass Stop trying to make it too complicated. Arizona,

1292
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm picking you. We are a different side to the

1293
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 1: rowboat show. Ralph Amston that he's a judas and that

1294
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 1: he just turned on his he turned on the little tap.

1295
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,640
Speaker 1: And now I'm the one backing you. I don't know

1296
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 1: if that makes you feel good or not, but I'm

1297
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: the one backing you. Okay. The last game in the

1298
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 1: Factor of this week is you have the Colorado Buffalos,

1299
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: who are you know, They're feeling real good about themselves.

1300
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:57,639
Speaker 1: Mail Tucker's team is going in the right direction, scoring

1301
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 1: a lot of points, giving up a ton of points

1302
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: three and two right now. Then they head to Eugene

1303
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 1: to face the vaunted Oregon Ducks defense, the one of

1304
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: the top defenses in the country along with Utah um,

1305
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:15,639
Speaker 1: how do you see this game playing a playing out around?

1306
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 1: Oregon is favored by twenty one points in this game,

1307
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 1: which I think that there's aside if Colorado's defense is

1308
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: so bad that I think they might be able to

1309
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 1: cover this. But I mean, yeah, so I would lay

1310
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 1: the points with Oregon, but I don't feel good about

1311
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: it considering Oregon's offensive struggles since they've gotten into pack

1312
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: twelve play. Yeah, you don't want to be knocking rust

1313
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,640
Speaker 1: off offensively and half Colorado come visit. So I do

1314
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: not care for this spread. I think that Oregon wins.

1315
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: Um Man, that'd be a story if they didn't, But

1316
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:56,560
Speaker 1: I think the Oregon wins. Um. I think that it's you. You.

1317
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 1: You have to be uh. You have to put one

1318
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 1: of your offensive play is on defense to help Colorado

1319
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 1: if you want to get slowed down. Um, it had

1320
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 1: to be twelve on ten, I think, Um, I just don't.

1321
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: I don't really like Colorado defensively, but I haven't seen

1322
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: anybody stop them on offense yet, and I don't think

1323
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:20,639
Speaker 1: that the talent necessarily matters. I think that they give

1324
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: Montez enough time to do some things back there that

1325
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 1: very few uh quarterbacks can do. I I think that

1326
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: he'll be better off than a few of the players

1327
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: that have had to go against that Oregon defense so far.

1328
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: So do not love to spread maybe fourteen to be

1329
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 1: more accurate, maybe a thirty one Oregon win. But I

1330
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 1: do feel like Colorado is gonna be able to put

1331
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: the ball in the end zone. I would be I

1332
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: would be equally as shocked at Colorado winning as I

1333
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:57,560
Speaker 1: would Colorado being shut out. I think Colorado will be

1334
01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 1: able to move the ball, UM, but they can't. They

1335
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: can't stop anybody that's not going to start now. They're

1336
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 1: not going to be able to do enough against Oregon

1337
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: to UH to get a win. I do not believe

1338
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: that I think that that that crowd needs to be

1339
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: super hostile. I think, um, that's not something that that

1340
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 1: Colorado got when when they came down to play against

1341
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 1: Arizona State. I think that that's something that they'll get

1342
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 1: for the first time this year in Eugene, and I

1343
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: think that that could ultimately maybe make the difference. UM.

1344
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 1: But I'm still waiting for Mario crystal Ball to prove

1345
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 1: to me that he is even half the coach that

1346
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:40,479
Speaker 1: he is. A recruiter UH and this would be a really,

1347
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,920
Speaker 1: really good chance to do that because he's he you know,

1348
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 1: you know his lifetime record, you know, some opportunities that

1349
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 1: they missed out on UM, and I think he's settling

1350
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:53,840
Speaker 1: more and more into that role and getting to know

1351
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:56,640
Speaker 1: this team a little bit better. UM and talent is

1352
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:58,840
Speaker 1: gonna and ultimately end up winning out. Anyway, we have

1353
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: a much more talented Oregon and Colorado team, so that

1354
01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be that close. But I just think that um,

1355
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 1: you know, Colorado's continuity on the offensive side of the football,

1356
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 1: as far as their coaching staff, they know exactly what

1357
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,640
Speaker 1: they have and they know exactly what to do. I

1358
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 1: think that continuity will give him a boost. But just

1359
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: talent for talent, UM, it would blow my mind if

1360
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 1: Colorado won this game. Oh yeah, yeah, especially since that

1361
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: Oregon has only given up one touchdown and that was

1362
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 1: the last week against Cal the first touchdown that they've

1363
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:36,839
Speaker 1: given up since the opening week against Stanford. I'm against Auburn.

1364
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:40,759
Speaker 1: They haven't even allowed a team in double digits since

1365
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 1: the Auburn game, and and it was barely because of

1366
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 1: a couple of busted plays in conservative play on offense

1367
01:21:47,680 --> 01:21:50,439
Speaker 1: that that was even uh that they even scored in

1368
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 1: in double digits. So I think that this defense is

1369
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:56,639
Speaker 1: really good. I think that they won't really be challenged

1370
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: too much until the until the really the Washington State game,

1371
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,600
Speaker 1: which should put some stress on their secondary Oh in

1372
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 1: the Washington game, of course. The But here's the thing

1373
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: I want to see. I agree with you, Ralph that

1374
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: you want to see Mario Cristo Ball put somebody away.

1375
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 1: You want to see a big win when you have

1376
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do it, especially if the Ducks think

1377
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,559
Speaker 1: that they have any opportunity to make the college football playoff.

1378
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: So we will see what's going on with that. Okay, guys,

1379
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,120
Speaker 1: the last thing that we want to finish, finish with

1380
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:33,920
Speaker 1: its basketball season is upon us and the Pac twelve

1381
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 1: media day happened, and we wanted to briefly briefly touch

1382
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:40,719
Speaker 1: touch on because we are going to turn and transition

1383
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 1: into smorrow basketball. To the Pack twelve hoops the preseason

1384
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:51,720
Speaker 1: media pole. They have Oregon one, Colorado to Washington three,

1385
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 1: Arizona four, USC five, all of them receiving first place votes.

1386
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:01,639
Speaker 1: Arizona State six, Oregon State seven, u c l A eight,

1387
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 1: Utah nine, Stanford ton Washington State eleven and cow twelve. Yeah,

1388
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 1: I I'm Oregon and Colorado got the same number of

1389
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 1: first place VOTs, so Oregon just barely edged Colorado in

1390
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: the in the preseason media poll. I think it'd be

1391
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,719
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to see Colorado put an elite

1392
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 1: team out there. Tyler Bay one time Arizona State commit.

1393
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 1: He's a very good basketball player. UM. You know, they

1394
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 1: can do a little bit of everything. Are they tough enough?

1395
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: That'll be really really interesting to see. UM. So I

1396
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:41,640
Speaker 1: think that I think the Colorado is really high and

1397
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 1: that that would be cool to see if they can

1398
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 1: meet those expectations. UM. I think Oregon State and Arizona

1399
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: State could probably have some cause to feel a little

1400
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 1: bit disrespected um by this media poll. And the Arizona

1401
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:59,799
Speaker 1: States back to back um n C double a tournament

1402
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 1: of apparances and they return quite a bit of talent

1403
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 1: UM and they're having I think they're coming off one

1404
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: of their best recruiting classes ever and they're sitting at

1405
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:13,680
Speaker 1: number six. Arizona was terrible last year and they're at

1406
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: number four just off the strength of the freshman class

1407
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,519
Speaker 1: that they brought in. And I feel like Oregon State Uh,

1408
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 1: they play well, They're well coached, and I think that seven.

1409
01:24:24,920 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: If you ask them being picked seventh, I think they'd

1410
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: be disappointed by that. I guarantee you that this won't

1411
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 1: list preseason Bowl won't look anything like what it ends

1412
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: up being. You know, Stanford, Utah, they can bounce back

1413
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 1: any time. You cel A can bounce back any time.

1414
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun year. The thing that is

1415
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 1: standing out the most to me right now is the

1416
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:46,719
Speaker 1: expectations on Colorado. How will they rise to that occasion? Yeah.

1417
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 1: And the other thing that sticks out to me is

1418
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 1: Oregon at one because aside from Peyton Pritchard, it feels

1419
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 1: like that they lost their entire team and I just

1420
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 1: and it makes and it makes you think Oregon has

1421
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 1: had a bunch of guys Louis Louis King, Kenny Wootton,

1422
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 1: and a bunch of other Tyler Dorsey, other guys who

1423
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 1: would be seniors now who would have who have gone

1424
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 1: on to the NBA to not have success or not

1425
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:17,719
Speaker 1: or not be drafted or not make rosters and leave

1426
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:22,919
Speaker 1: way too early. Imagine if those guys were still at Oregon,

1427
01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 1: they would have the number one team in the nation

1428
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 1: probably and I respect, I respect their decisions, but I

1429
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 1: do think that they were mistakes. I think that Kenny

1430
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:38,640
Speaker 1: Kenny wotton another year under Dana Altman because this is

1431
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: the last level in which you're gonna get coached by

1432
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 1: people who care about you getting better. You're at the

1433
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: next level. You're either ready to go or not. And so, um,

1434
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 1: I think it would have really been good for Kenny

1435
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:56,679
Speaker 1: to spent another year in Eugene. All right, But dude,

1436
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 1: that is an understatement him Louis Louis King as well. Um.

1437
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean at the Jordan's Jordan's Bale even Um, I mean,

1438
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 1: the list goes on and on. They keep just leaving

1439
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 1: too early and it's inexplicable. Um. But but you do

1440
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 1: have to give Dana Altmon a ton of credit because

1441
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:19,760
Speaker 1: he keeps rebuilding this roster every single year. Dude. They

1442
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: got grad transfers, they got recruiting classes. People want to

1443
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 1: keep to do to cheating. But but maybe maybe he's

1444
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:29,600
Speaker 1: just damn good. Um. And what do you think of

1445
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve releasing the uh All Conference preseason team

1446
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: for the very first time, but putting ten players on

1447
01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 1: the first team and five on the second team. I

1448
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:44,000
Speaker 1: think that's I think that's very Larry Scott of them.

1449
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 1: That's very Larry Scott of them. So it's the first

1450
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 1: it's basketball. There is only five spots on their pack

1451
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:57,640
Speaker 1: twelve team. There's only five people on the court. You

1452
01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 1: can't have ten players all an eight team. And literally,

1453
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:06,720
Speaker 1: what how many teams are represented? One to three, four

1454
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 1: or five, six, seven, eight? Eight teams are represented? Eight teams?

1455
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:17,960
Speaker 1: You can't have somebody on every single team. And then

1456
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:22,240
Speaker 1: if you include the second team to that's ten. Yeah,

1457
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 1: you got ten. Ten teams were represented in the first

1458
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 1: and second team. Dude, this is It feels like a

1459
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: participation trophy as opposed to an actual like ranking. This

1460
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:35,760
Speaker 1: is this is silly. I mean, I don't know who

1461
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 1: else does this. It would be weird. It would be

1462
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:43,200
Speaker 1: like the Pac twelve first team for football having twenty

1463
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 1: two players on it on just the offensive two quarterbacks.

1464
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 1: Like yeah, so I don't I don't know if I'm

1465
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 1: a fan of this, Like why not just split it?

1466
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 1: First team, second team? Third team? Were to have three teams?

1467
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, dude, that's like that's like having a valedictory,

1468
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 1: a salutatory and then a third Actorian and then we're

1469
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 1: gonna have a fourth Torrian just just just because we don't.

1470
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,320
Speaker 1: We don't want to make the kids the other kids

1471
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,360
Speaker 1: who had four points feel bad as opposed to just

1472
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 1: honoring the people who had the best record. Another way

1473
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 1: they could have done this if just looking at it

1474
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: is they could have had a first team and a

1475
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 1: second team. Then they could have had a freshman team,

1476
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:29,679
Speaker 1: because four of these fifteen are freshman. You have Nico

1477
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 1: Mannon at Arizona, Isaiah Stewart at Washington UM, Nafoi Dante

1478
01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:41,759
Speaker 1: at Oregon, and Josh Green at Arizona. Now, Josh Green

1479
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 1: and Nico Mannion are both like top twenty prospects in

1480
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:48,920
Speaker 1: the country, and so I get setting that expectation. I'm

1481
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:51,639
Speaker 1: still not comfortable with putting them on an all conference

1482
01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:55,000
Speaker 1: team when they haven't done a single thing yet. Maybe

1483
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: give them their own team of like, hey, these are

1484
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 1: the freshman to watch out for. But you could made

1485
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 1: space for like a five person first team and a

1486
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:04,680
Speaker 1: five person second team if you just would have had

1487
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 1: a freshman team UM or a newcomers team, because you know,

1488
01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:10,880
Speaker 1: Arizona State's got a couple of juco guys who are

1489
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:13,600
Speaker 1: coming in who are really really highly touted. So I

1490
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 1: don't know, I just I feel it feels like this

1491
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 1: is a really simple thing. This is what's that whole

1492
01:29:18,439 --> 01:29:20,599
Speaker 1: thing that I don't know. White people do put raisins

1493
01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 1: in the potato salad or whatever. Yeah, exactly, they just

1494
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 1: this is some raisins in the potato salad. Agree, And

1495
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 1: if we were running the conference in the PR it

1496
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:33,600
Speaker 1: would be done much more efficiently. Larry Scott put his

1497
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 1: foot in his mouth again about the name, image and

1498
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 1: likeness thing. This was absolutely frustrating for me because like

1499
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,600
Speaker 1: people are completely on the wrong tide of history on this.

1500
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: I mean, there are so many people that understand that

1501
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,639
Speaker 1: players should be able to trade on their name, image

1502
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:53,280
Speaker 1: and likeness, and he just is just doubling down with

1503
01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: the n C double e and and it's kind of

1504
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 1: inexplicable to me. He says, and I quote, we are

1505
01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 1: for choy and if young people want to earn money

1506
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 1: from their name, image and likeness or get paid to play,

1507
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:09,200
Speaker 1: they should have that opportunity. It's called pro sports. College

1508
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:13,519
Speaker 1: is different. You're getting education. It's amateur Their students they

1509
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:17,160
Speaker 1: are defining characteristics that we like to see and not

1510
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 1: get those lines blurred. Ha that's rich coming from the

1511
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 1: from from the rich guy making five million dollars a year.

1512
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:28,320
Speaker 1: Ha ha every yeah, yeah, yeah, listen, listen, I'm all

1513
01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 1: four a choice. Then how about this? How about you

1514
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:32,680
Speaker 1: just go be a pro if that's what you want

1515
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 1: to do, if you want to make money, go be

1516
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:37,800
Speaker 1: a pro. It's just the only pathway to the thing

1517
01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 1: that they're eventually trying to get to. If the XFL

1518
01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 1: had an option where you could be one and done,

1519
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot of these kids with the xfls and a

1520
01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 1: two year deal, then try to make it to the

1521
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,080
Speaker 1: NFL from there, if there was some other league that

1522
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:52,320
Speaker 1: didn't involve education where you could go and play football

1523
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:55,200
Speaker 1: to prepare yourself to go to the NFL. College football

1524
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:59,080
Speaker 1: on a bunch of these players, because their ultimate priority

1525
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:02,240
Speaker 1: is not necessarily to be in school. Their priority would

1526
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:06,560
Speaker 1: maybe be school if college football programs themselves didn't treat it,

1527
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 1: um like like education was a second hand thing. Um

1528
01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:12,960
Speaker 1: you know that they have to spend a certain amount

1529
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 1: of time with their coaches. They're expected to be football

1530
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 1: football football. They got. Most of these guys taken online classes,

1531
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:21,559
Speaker 1: so they're not even in classroom situations getting an education

1532
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:25,679
Speaker 1: around other students, having that robust collegiate experience like they're

1533
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:29,720
Speaker 1: they're they're surrounded by all of this money all the time.

1534
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:32,959
Speaker 1: This money spends on equipment, this money spends on coaching salaries,

1535
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:34,639
Speaker 1: and they know that they're the only ones that that's

1536
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:37,680
Speaker 1: not trickling down to and you can like system, they

1537
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:40,960
Speaker 1: are making a trade. They're making a trade, and so

1538
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:44,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's incredibly incredibly frustrating team for someone to

1539
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 1: cash five point three million dollars worth of checks every

1540
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 1: single year and think of himself in the same light

1541
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:54,720
Speaker 1: as like a small town to y m C a

1542
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 1: uh community rector, you know, saying well, I don't want

1543
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 1: the kids to get paid to a you soccer because

1544
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:04,680
Speaker 1: they're not professionals out there putting the cones on the

1545
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:07,920
Speaker 1: field himself. That's not Larry Scott. Larry Scott has not

1546
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:12,680
Speaker 1: intimately involved. He is overlord getting paid massive amounts of

1547
01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,400
Speaker 1: money to make sure that they can continue to fill

1548
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:18,839
Speaker 1: their pockets and not have to worry about the revenue

1549
01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:21,519
Speaker 1: streams filtering down to anybody else so that they might

1550
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 1: get less. He's the worst and the other and the

1551
01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:30,880
Speaker 1: other part of about this is how stupid is this

1552
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna look when you have to track off of all

1553
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:37,800
Speaker 1: of this because this is going to happen. Yeah, and

1554
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 1: you even had Mark Mark Few, the coach at at

1555
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 1: the basketball coach at Gonzaga, say well, the only thing

1556
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:46,519
Speaker 1: I we we well, we have some really smart guys

1557
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:49,920
Speaker 1: on on top of this and they'll get it done.

1558
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:52,960
Speaker 1: But I just don't like the fact that politics got

1559
01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:56,760
Speaker 1: involved and you're legislating and the and the governor of

1560
01:32:56,800 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 1: California should be he's got a state that borders meant Mexico.

1561
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 1: They should fix that problem. Right, I'm like, come on,

1562
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:06,920
Speaker 1: like you do fas this was a dufust statement though

1563
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:11,400
Speaker 1: like that that Okay, I agree that politics should not

1564
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:15,640
Speaker 1: have become a part of this. However, they had no

1565
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 1: choice at this point in time. The n C Double

1566
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:21,080
Speaker 1: A wasn't going to do anything. And if they weren't

1567
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:26,120
Speaker 1: forced to do it by California, Florida has a legislation,

1568
01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:32,000
Speaker 1: New York, Colorado, and um South Carolina. Alabama's working on

1569
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:34,760
Speaker 1: some stuff too. If they aren't forced to do it,

1570
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:39,160
Speaker 1: they're not gonna do it. So so sorry politics had

1571
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:42,160
Speaker 1: to get involved, but sometimes that is the only thing

1572
01:33:42,960 --> 01:33:47,760
Speaker 1: that that's the only way I mean it's it's it's

1573
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 1: really ridiculous like that some of these coaches are and

1574
01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:57,719
Speaker 1: and and conference commissioners are just doubling down on this garbage. Dude.
