You had Oregon lose, 27 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: getting knocked out of the College Football Playoff, and it's 28 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: seemed like so many people in the conference were relishing 29 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: in that. Washington fans were obviously Utah fans because they 30 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: wanted to win, but aside from that, you had so 31 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: many other fan bases like cheering for Oregon to lose. 32 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: Why is Oregon so hated? First thing, and then the 33 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: second thing is do we need to do another back 34 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: the Pack episode? Well, George, what does misery love company? Yeah, 35 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: we we love company. We fans doesn't do this, The 36 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: SEC doesn't do this. There Alabama wins. Vanderbilt's fans say, 37 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: we're in the SEC C Look best conference ever, Old 38 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: miss They're like best conference ever? Uh, SEC West, We're 39 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: part of that. See nobody can touch us. Pactual fans 40 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: fuck you hope you die like that's what they say 41 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: that their competition. Like, bro, Like, why I don't get it. 42 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: I hate Washington. Washington plays Michigan. I want Washington to 43 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: beat Michigan. I got get in a fight with Washington 44 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: fans on Twitter, Howland Husky Softie on radio shows. Whatever 45 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: it is, doesn't matter. But I still want these jerks 46 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: to win when they play non conference games. Yeah, I know, 47 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: I root for I root for both pack twelve teams 48 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: to win as well as pack twelve players to go off. 49 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: The conference is better and more interesting when you have stars, 50 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: when you have functional teams. I mean, it's not that whole, 51 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: this whole like movement of like celebrating sickos, watching the 52 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: worst football, rooting for things to be dysfunctional. Uh no, no, 53 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: he hurts you. Like that's the part that people don't 54 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: realize is that it hurts you and your team because 55 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: if the conference has looked at in a negative light, 56 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: then that turns around. It means that recruits are going 57 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: to look at it in a negative light. So it's 58 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: going to be harder for you to land big time recruits. 59 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, but Oregon's recruiting fine, Yes, but now 60 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: imagine if Washington could recruit better, USC could recruit better, 61 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: and like, yeah, that would not be great for orient 62 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,559 Speaker 1: but it would be better for the conference as a whole, 63 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: because then the best players would stop leaving and going 64 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: to other conferences and they would stay right in the 65 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: Pack twelve. Part of it is the perception thing, Ralph, 66 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: and I don't understand why people can't get it through 67 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: their thick skulls to root for the Pack twelve. I'm 68 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: with you. It's very annoying when you know, take take 69 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: a school like Arizona State, which has tried to to 70 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: move their recruiting profile to a more national um base, 71 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: that if they get somebody that they're going up against 72 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: who has Big twelve interest and Big ten interest in 73 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: their their final three schools, you know, one is in 74 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: the Pack twelve, one is in the Big ten, one 75 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: is in the Big twelve. You have the Big ten 76 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: coaches being like, you don't want to play in the 77 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: Pack twelve. And that's that's how they negatively recruit if 78 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: they don't have any other material. And and if you have, 79 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: you know, if you end the season with you know, 80 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: six or seven UH Bowl teams and five of them 81 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: are ranked, you can't do that. You take you take 82 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: that away, which means you keep some more of these 83 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: players home. Will that hurt you in a head to 84 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: head matchup, maybe, But if it could help you out 85 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: of conference, if you're able to keep more talent around, 86 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just it. I understand the argument 87 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: that I only want my team to win and I 88 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: don't care about anything else. I understand that. But if 89 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: somebody comes up to you and shows you and removes 90 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: the scales from your eyes and says these things are 91 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: interrelated for your long term health, it is better if 92 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: you have a healthy environment in which you compete, and 93 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: somebody lays out that argument for you completely to the 94 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: point where you see that there are ten to twelve 95 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: advantages of having a strong conference, and the only disadvantages 96 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: maybe you lose sometimes to those very good teams, and 97 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: you still say, I don't give a shit. Then there's 98 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: nothing I can do for you. There's absolutely nothing I 99 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: can do for you. I'm on this podmen on this 100 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: podcast all year making the argument that because of how 101 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: dysfunctional this conference has become, that even if ore went 102 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: twelve and one, they didn't deserve to go to the Playoff, 103 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: and so you could turn around and say like, well, 104 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: that's you not back in the pack. No, that's me 105 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: saying that the Pack twelve is in such bad shape 106 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: from not having the support of of the fan bases 107 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: and the alumni and the donors, as well as the 108 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: distribution that would help fuel those things. That's me saying 109 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: that we have gotten to this critical mass point where 110 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: I genuinely believe that the perception of the PAC twelve 111 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: is such that that they would not deserve that spot 112 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: and the and that's and that's bad because we will 113 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: sit sit here and criticize ourselves and be like like 114 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: and be like, yo, we don't deserve it. These other 115 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: teams deserve it. And you know what they say when 116 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: their teams are bad, They're like, yep, we're happy to 117 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: get in, buddy, We're happy to get in. Like they 118 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: don't sit there and try to pull holes in themselves 119 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: and we do it. It's absolutely as what's my phrase, 120 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: cut off your nose to spite your face, not wanting 121 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff payout, not wanting that to come 122 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: to your school, not wanting the even distribution to come 123 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: to your school so that Oregon can lose is very dumb. 124 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: I don't know any other way to put it. It's 125 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: very stupid. It's like saying, like, man, my worst enemy, 126 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: my worst enemy is rich enough to give me five 127 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: million dollars, but I don't want my worst enemy to 128 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: be rich, so I'm not going to take that five 129 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: million dollars because f my worst enemy like that is 130 00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: very very confusing to me. Yep, bro, Anyway, happy Thanksgiving 131 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: George to those who celebrate. Should we do some like 132 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: really corny segment where we're like which pack twelve football 133 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: team is which Thanksgiving dish? Absolutely not, Bro, Absolutely no, no, no, 134 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: It's got it. It's got to stop somewhere. Um. But 135 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: the but here's the question, though, is how in the world, right, 136 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: how in the world did Oregon get demolished by U 137 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: Tah like that? Because Utah was a three point favorite, 138 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: it was zero at halftime. I will give you my 139 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: thoughts on it, But what what were you thinking when 140 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: it was seven zero at the end of the first quarter, 141 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: then fourteen and then twenty one and then that Britain 142 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: covey uh punt return? Yeah? Um, I think that championship 143 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: teams I had is heard Julian Edelman described this perfectly. 144 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: Championship defenses run the ball, stop the run, and cover kicks, 145 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: and one team did that better than another team, and 146 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: the result is the result. Now, why was it a blowout? Um, 147 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: salt Lake was rocking. Salt Lake was a rock and 148 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: George and this is not the same physical Oregon team 149 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: that took it to Utah two years ago. So there 150 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: was definitely an issue of physicality. Um, you know, thirty 151 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: one points is a lot of points, and I think 152 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: it once it kind of got away from Once it 153 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: kind of got away from Oregon, there's not really a 154 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: way for them to claw their way back in it. 155 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: You're missing two of your best receivers, and even then, 156 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: I don't think that would have made that big of 157 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: a difference with a with a twenty eight nothing deficit, 158 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: And so I think that it I think it's one 159 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: of those things where you took an apple from the 160 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: bottom of the from the bottom of the pile and 161 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: everything just sort of like falls because of that. I 162 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: do think that if they line up again in Las Vegas, 163 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: that it will be a much different outcome. I'm not 164 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: gonna tell you that Utah is gonna lose, but it'll 165 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: be a much different outcome. I don't think you see 166 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: a blowout again. I just don't. I think that things 167 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: just got completely out of hand and there was no 168 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: way to pull it back. Oh dude, I I agree 169 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: with you that that. I think that the that Michael 170 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: Pittman leaving having so many injuries, and then at the 171 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: beginning of the game it's seven to three, you miss 172 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: a a field goal, and then you get a field 173 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: goal blocked after that, which would have put it to 174 00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: fourteen to six. Oregan's offense didn't at all, didn't at 175 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: all put any pressure on Utah because their quarterback started 176 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: out the game one for seven and then finished up 177 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: eleven for eight teen, Like that's not a superhero performance. 178 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: And they just couldn't get it stopped. They just couldn't 179 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: stop the bleeding, and they were made one dimensional and 180 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: then that one dimension turned into a losing dimension. So 181 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: I I thought it just got out of out of 182 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: hand and there and Anthony Brown and this team can't 183 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: pass the ball at a high enough level two to 184 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: win games when you get into those situations. Yeah, they 185 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: put themselves in a situation where what Travis Dye had 186 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: seven touches total. That's not a that's not a winning recipe. 187 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: The other thing is, you know, some people, I think 188 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: that there are some people that believe, like, oh, Mario 189 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: crystal Ball can't win the big one. That's not necessarily true. 190 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: They just won in Columbus. You know, I don't think. 191 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna get to the point where, 192 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: you know, um, people are like, oh, every once in 193 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: a while, Mario crystal Ball's evil counterpart, Warrio crystal Ball 194 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: shows up and it's his fault. They had a bad game. 195 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: I just think that Utah came in with a better 196 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: game plan. They got ahead, they handled it well, they 197 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: were super physical, and then and then some stuff is 198 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: just dumb luck. Like defensively, the my main observation in 199 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: the first half of that game was Oregon kept dialing 200 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: up the perfect defensive call yes, and and they would 201 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: do it two plays in a row, and then on 202 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: the third play, Utah would make a play. They never 203 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: got discouraged, they never got dissuaded. They just persisted. They 204 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: just pushed forward. And it was that level of like 205 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: resolving competency that blew me away because there were so 206 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: many plays that Oregon had the perfect and it didn't work, yes, 207 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: or like you had Cameron Rising rushed for a couple 208 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: of first downs that if those get get stopped because 209 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: there was perfect coverage, he was like, oh, there's no nowhere. 210 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: He almost got sacked slipped out. If those turned into 211 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: either sacks or throwaways and Oregon gets gets gets the 212 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: ball back, it's a totally different ball game. And with 213 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: the amount of injuries that they've had, it's just been, 214 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: you know, extremely tough on them. But I do agree 215 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: that in two weeks, if Oregon is able to beat 216 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: Oregon State this weekend, that it will be a totally 217 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: different game than it was, which would then enrage Oregon fans, right, 218 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: And I think that we need to keep things in perspective, 219 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: whether you're an Oregon fan, of Washington fan, USC fan, 220 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: whoever you cheer for, right, is the idea that microwave 221 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: results are going to happen. So this is Mario Kristo 222 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: Ball's fourth year. He was nine and four without his 223 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: own recruits. He was because like, yes, he helped kind 224 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: of recruit those guys, but he wasn't the full head 225 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: coach because Willie Taggart, you know, like left right before 226 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: the LAS Vegas Bowl. So then he comes in West 227 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: Tyler left Tyler Shuck's backyard to take the phone call. 228 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: He's those were definitely Taggart's recruits. Come on now, correct, 229 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: And then twelve and four with some of health Riches guys, 230 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: with some of Taggers guys, wins the Rose Ball last year, 231 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: COVID year, all this stuff goes four and three, ends 232 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: up in the wins Back twelve Championship again, loses the 233 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: Fiesta Bow. So that's two New Year's Six Day Balls. 234 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: Then this year nine and two, number eleven in the nation. 235 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: And mind you like, since he's been head coach, they 236 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: finished ranked every year eleven nine, and then if they 237 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: win their next two games, they'll finish, you know it 238 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: with within the top six probably right if if they 239 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: win all three games there the Oregon State the Pact 240 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: twelve championship and then their bowl game against whether it 241 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: would be against Ohio State, Michigan or Wisconsin, then now 242 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna have in a twelve and two season again. 243 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: And when you look at a guy like I would equate, 244 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: and I know that people can be like George, how 245 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: could you this is stupid? I would equate what Oregon 246 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: is doing with with Mario Cristo Baal with what has 247 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: happened at Clemson, because people like Clemson, what are you 248 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,119 Speaker 1: talking due Clemson has not been a powerhouse like until 249 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: Dabbo he got there, Like they weren't playing for national 250 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: championships anything like like that under Tommy Bowden, under Tommy 251 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: Tommy West. Think about this. Before uh Dabbo Sweeney took 252 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: over as head coach, Clemson had not had a ten 253 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: win season since nineteen nine, nineteen nine, So like, let's 254 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: keep it one about these things. So now, so it 255 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: was twenty one years in between ten win seasons, but 256 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: Dabbo takes over, goes nine and five, then six and seven, 257 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: ten and four, eleven and two, eleven and two, ten 258 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: and three, then fourteen and one, where he lost in 259 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: the College Football Championship, then fourteen and one again where 260 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: they want it next year, twelve and two, then fifteen 261 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: and old in fourteen and one, then tending to last 262 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: year and eight and three. Right right now, Ralph and 263 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: my overexaggerating wig when I say that this looks very similar. No, 264 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: you need you need continuity and if your base, if 265 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: the base of your talent is gonna get you eight wins, 266 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: then it's coaching that's gonna do the rest. And Oregon 267 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: has that top level base talent and they're playing in 268 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,719 Speaker 1: a conference that is uh, you know to be frank 269 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: uh not great, and so you you could probably even 270 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: up that base to the nine that they're at right now. 271 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: It's the next three games that that that Oregon is 272 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: gonna play in. That's you're you're in the bonus, right 273 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 1: And so if you can get to double digit wins, 274 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: I understand people who have a championship standard, championship or bust, 275 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: but you have to to have a championship or bust standard. 276 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: You have to have that double dig it win baseline 277 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: that you can operate from, you know, and Mike Stoops 278 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: at um is it Mike's It was Mike Stoops right 279 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: at Oklahoma who was able to do that dance for 280 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: like upwards of fifteen years where it was double digit 281 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: wins get you within and then eventually they get to 282 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: the point where they can make the change to um 283 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: to to to Lincoln Riley and even level up from 284 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: that base that they were at and supercharge and so 285 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: you know, you need they need to hang on to 286 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: Mario Crystal ball. They need, they need things to continue 287 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: to progress. They need that continuity. UM. And I think 288 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: that they're still I think Oregon is still in development. 289 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: I really do. It would have been nice this year 290 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: if they could have gotten to that point. Um. But 291 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: they you know, they gotta they got a quarterback UM 292 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: coming up. They They've got really young, good talent at receiver. 293 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: They've been recruiting well on the offensive line, and the 294 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: defense elent wise is the best in the Pack twelve. 295 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: They are positioned to be good for a long time 296 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,239 Speaker 1: as long as they don't upset the Apple cart. And 297 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: so I'm not you know, I'm not out on Oregon. Um. 298 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: I just it makes you appreciate Utah that much more 299 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: for the fact that this is the third time in 300 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: non COVID shortened seasons that they've won the Pack twelve South. Yeah. 301 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: But but what does that mean or say about other players? You? 302 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: I mean, like, what does that say about other you know, Well, 303 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: I I should just say other Pack twelve South teams. 304 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: Because Utah, who came into the conference, people thought that 305 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: it was gonna take them for forever. And if you're 306 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: really real about it, they've kind of dominated the Pact. 307 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: The pack twelve South the last number of years. And 308 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: what does Utah have continuity? They have continuity like they 309 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: have the one thing they had They had Kyle Whittingham 310 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: there with urban Meyer, continue on develop staff, lose low 311 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: level staffers to other schools where they became better coaches 312 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: than brought them back into the system. They have continuity. 313 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 1: They have an identity to which takes time to establish. 314 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: That's why I don't want U c l A to 315 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: dump Chip Kelly. Could U c l A B recruiting better? 316 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: Oh yes, definitely, Like you can't argue that. But at 317 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: the same time, they are establishing an identity over time. 318 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: They are doing that like USC is not doing that. 319 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: USC took a shot in the dark on an identity 320 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: that was unsustainable, an identity that was better suited for 321 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: Washington State, and even Washington State establish an identity under 322 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: Mike Leach and then the higher they made and Nick 323 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: Rolovich kept with the identity that they established. Uh, Arizona 324 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: State had the right idea. Irizona State had the right 325 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: idea when they hired herm Edwards in that like they 326 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: wanted to establish the identity of being the Stanford of 327 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: the South. They wanted to run the ball and play defense, 328 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: and you know, it hasn't necessarily worked out, but that 329 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 1: is to me. You have to be able to have 330 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: continuity to establish who it is you're gonna be, to 331 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: be able to get at the recruits that you want 332 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: to get at, to be able to get at the 333 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: transfer portal kids that you want to get at, because 334 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: they know exactly what they're getting right. And Oregon needs 335 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: more time to establish that identity to be a player 336 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: on the highest levels. And I believe that they can 337 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: do that in this conference. They could certainly do it 338 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: better in this conference if there were better competition, more 339 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: kids staying home for everybody, um, if it was you know, 340 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: and I think that that you're going to see a 341 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: lot of transfer portal active of people who went east 342 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: that didn't necessarily cut it and end up coming back 343 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: and finding the right place for them. But I'm not, 344 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not I'm not discouraged by what's 345 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: going on with the Oregon. I don't think that it 346 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: says anything about the Pack twelve South. I'm not ashamed. 347 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm not ashamed. As somebody who you know follows Arizona 348 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: State went Aris I'm saying, I'm not ashamed of the 349 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: fact that Utah came into the conference and and has 350 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: slowly taken over the South. They did it to me 351 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: the right way, the way that that that is the 352 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: blueprint for everybody should be doing it by not having 353 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: that itchy trigger finger with your coach and with their 354 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: staff and everything like that. You have to be you 355 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: have to have a long term vision, You have to 356 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: stand by people, you have to be able to go 357 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 1: through rough patches so long as you are progressing in 358 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: the right way. Now, that's only for building teams. That's 359 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: not for teams out there like Florida who already have 360 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: established a championship standard and are out here given up 361 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: uh seventy points to non FB best teams or whatever like. 362 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: That's not That's not what I'm talking about. Once you 363 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: establish a standard, then you have to live by that standard. 364 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: If Oregon gets to the point where they win a 365 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: national championship in the Mario cristin bal comes out and 366 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: takes them to a four and eight season next year, 367 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: by Mario like that, that's that's that's the um and 368 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: that's just the way things are. But I think that 369 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: I think that in order to get to that point, 370 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: you have to establish who you're gonna be. Utah has 371 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: done a fantastic job of that. UM and there's still 372 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: a ton of holes in that roster. They still are 373 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: not talent rich, they still don't have UM. They still 374 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: have not shown the ability to bring in and develop 375 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: receivers the way they do offensive defensive lineman, defensive packs. UM. 376 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: But they also have they they've found a way at quarterback, 377 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: which is what a lot of Pack twelve teams have 378 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: lacked the ability to do. UM. And even through all that, 379 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: they've also been open to people coming in as transfers. 380 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: You know, They're not like Clemson in that you know, like, no, 381 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: we're only going to get our kids that we develop. No, 382 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: they're completely open to the idea if you're a great 383 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: football player and you want to come to Utah, you 384 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: can do that. And so, I don't know, they're modern 385 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: in the right ways, their old school in the right ways. UM. 386 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: It's just you know, you you kind of wish that 387 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: they UM. You kind of wish that that it wasn't 388 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: always so developmental with them. You wish it wasn't so 389 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: momentum based. You wish they could play week one through 390 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: four the way they play the rest of the season, 391 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: because if they could, then we might have another team 392 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: that was competing to be on the level of you know, Oregon. 393 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: As far as being in the National championship conversation, are 394 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: you a mute George? Did I lose you? I think 395 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: you're I think you're muted. So now let's go back 396 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: to last or I will actually before we get back 397 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: to last week, let's talk about the openings in the conference. 398 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: You have Washington open, you have out not cow oh. 399 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: Washington opened, Washington State USC, and there is now a 400 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: report that Arizona State may not open up, which would 401 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: be surprising considering where we where we were right it doesn't. 402 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: It's weird because it it almost doesn't make sense for 403 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: Arizona State to keep the coaches that they have, But 404 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 1: the only thing that makes less sense would be to 405 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: get rid of everybody in this market. This is a 406 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: crazy mark. There's not that many coaches that are gonna 407 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: probably have the ability to get you where you want 408 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: to go as far as their ability to network, their 409 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: ability to develop talent, they're proven track record, their ability 410 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: as recruiters. It's a very very shallow pool Interestingly enough, 411 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: two of the people in the pool used to be 412 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: Arizona State Assistance in Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Landing and 413 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: University of Louisiana Lafayette head coach Billy Napier. But neither 414 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: one of them is coming back here. They're outside of 415 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: the price of what a s you could afford anyway, 416 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: So what's a SU supposed to do? Herm Edwards came 417 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: in said he was gonna give a SU five years. 418 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: This is gonna be year five. Do you risk a 419 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: very disinterested fan base? Yeah? Do you risk a bunch 420 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: of people being disillusioned based on the n C double 421 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: A investigation? Yeah? But what's the alternative? Hire a bad 422 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: coach and do it again in three years because you 423 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: can't afford the good ones, and a couple of them 424 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 1: aren't gonna They're not gonna come work for Ray Anderson, 425 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: a couple of them. How crazy is that? Though? Is 426 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: that that that reminds me of this this kid? I 427 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 1: know they were um he was talking to another kid 428 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: I I and I overheard him. It was like, yeah, 429 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: we have a It was like, yeah, do you have 430 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: a pool? He's like, yeah, yeah, I have a pool 431 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: to come over and hang out. And he was like, yeah, 432 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: but our pools above ground. Uh no, no, no, I'm 433 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: sorry in the ground and not and not above ground. Yeah, 434 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: but I think about it, man. Okay. So so let's 435 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: say that you were a m you were a prospect 436 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: coming out of high school, and you had three schools 437 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: that you really wanted to go to, but those were 438 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: not the three schools that were offering you. The schools 439 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: that were offering you were schools that you would not 440 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: have necessarily ever even considered. But you know what your 441 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: talent level is, you know what your ability is, and 442 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: you know that if you go to Juco and stay healthy, 443 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: that you're going to have a better opportunity, even if 444 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: it's only for one year. Do you take the scholarship 445 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: offer from the school that you think is beneath you 446 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: that isn't gonna do that much for you, or do 447 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: you go take that Juco year until those other opportunities 448 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: open up. And I think that's a position that Arizona 449 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: states in right now now that is being very gracious 450 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: as far as the INTENTI a su The truth is, 451 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: Ray Anderson has no desire nor intent to fire his 452 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: lifelong friend. I'm not gonna happen. He wants to be 453 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: able to shove it in the faces of everybody who 454 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: said the Herm Edwards higher was a bad idea in 455 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: the first place. And so the worst thing that could 456 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: happen is that they stumble into some success next year 457 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: and he gets to spiked the football in instead of 458 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: one like he was planning. And then you know her 459 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: Edwards who said he was only gonna be around five years. 460 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: Then they can move to the next stage of the plan, 461 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: whatever that is, sliding Marvin Lewis in or whatever it 462 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: is they want to do. But the longer that Ray 463 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: Anderson is in place, you know, it's it's either our 464 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: packaged you. I think Arizona State fans are getting to 465 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: the point where they understand that it's either everybody goes 466 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: or nobody goes. So what do you want to do? 467 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: Um the if you just look at it's it's you're 468 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: getting to the point where some of the fandom is 469 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: wearing off. That allows you to excuse some of the 470 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: things you overlooked when Arizona State hired her Edwards, which 471 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: is they did not hire her Edwards to be the 472 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: football coach. They hired her Edwards to be the CEO, 473 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: and so you get to this point where you kind 474 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,719 Speaker 1: of get disillusioned and the fandom wears off and you 475 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: get kind of sober about it, and you're like, wait 476 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: a minute, we hired someone to not coach the team, 477 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: and they're getting paid like they're the head coach, and 478 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: they're out here week after weeks saying that they don't 479 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: actually have a hand in the team's success the way 480 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: the media believes they should. You know, when after every 481 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: time they have a ten twelve penalty game, the media 482 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: asked Sirm Edwards what he can do better, and he's like, 483 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: that's not my job. Yeah, And you realize, like, oh, 484 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: he literally means that, even even though like it's been 485 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: proven that if that's your emphasis, you will get better 486 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: at discipline, especially at Arizona State where they brought in 487 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: like Todd Graham, the disciplinarian, and then it was them 488 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: in the service academies at the top every single year 489 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: for least amount of penalties. Of course, if you emphasize it, 490 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: you can coach it. But then you have to realize, 491 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: as an Arizona State fan, you brought in somebody to 492 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: not coach, to not coach to be the CEO. He's 493 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: not coaching the offense, he's not coaching the defense. He's 494 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: not the coach. He's not the coach. He's the CEO. 495 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: You might call him a head coach, but he is 496 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: not actually the coach. And the things that you brought 497 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 1: him in for that you thought sounded good at the time, 498 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: like Hey, who's gonna win in the living room better 499 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: than Herm Edwards, you kind of sober up and realize, oh, 500 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: the living room is not a thing. The living room 501 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: is a thing we grew up thinking was a thing 502 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: because you actually did have to go into people's homes 503 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,719 Speaker 1: and recruit them. In today's day and age, if you 504 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: get to the living room, George, you're talking to a 505 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: committed prospect and you're just using a home visit. You're 506 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: not actually in competition for these kids. Once you're in 507 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: their house, that decisions already been made. So if Herm 508 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: Edwards is not there for the living room and he's 509 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: not there to coach the offense, and he's not there 510 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: to coach the defense, then what you're assuming is he 511 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: is so in tune with what's going on that he 512 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: can operate things from the ten thousand foot view. But 513 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: he came in and he said, uh, we're gonna have 514 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: a regional footprint recruiting. That went out the window because 515 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: he didn't know what he was doing. He came in. 516 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: He came in and he said, we're gonna have a 517 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: pro development like situation all set up under Al Lugan. Bill. 518 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: They had to phase that out because that wasn't the 519 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: right approach that did it makes sense. Um, they came 520 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: He came in and said, we're gonna key all the 521 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: same staff because continuity is important. Phil Bennett retired and 522 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: Bill Billy Napier left five seconds into it. Then he 523 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: had to fire another offensive quarter in coordinator and Rob 524 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: Likens and bringing Zach Hill, and they're underperforming what they 525 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: had under Rob Likens. So then you're like, okay, So 526 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: he doesn't know what he's doing with the hires, so 527 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: it's like, all right, Well, he needs to give power 528 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: to somebody who definitely does know what they're doing. So 529 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: he imparts more and more responsibility every single year to 530 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce, who highers three assistant coaches who are now 531 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: being paid to not even be associated with the team 532 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: due to an n C double a investigation that happened 533 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: because her Edwards isn't actually able to do the job 534 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: of CEO, or or you believe that Herm Edwards actually 535 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: wanted them to cheat and cause the whole thing to happen. 536 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: So you brought in a guy to not be the coach, 537 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: but he can't be the CEO either, and now you're 538 00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: stuck in this situation and the players love her because 539 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: he's awesome. I love her. Do you love her? George? Yeah? Hell? Yeah? 540 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: Like I love HERM Edwards, But like, I don't know 541 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,439 Speaker 1: anybody who doesn't like her. Yeah, But would you hire 542 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: him to coach Oregon? No? Would you hire him to 543 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:21,359 Speaker 1: be the general manager of what Oregon is doing? No? Um, 544 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: what if he was your best friend? No? Like, like 545 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean, like, I'm trying to like And this is 546 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: based upon what what we've seen from him. There's no 547 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: slide against him. But Herms not a college head coach. 548 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: He's not a college CEO. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa 549 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: whoa whoa George, he coached the under Armour All American Game. 550 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: He took a week out of his year to coach 551 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: an exhibition high school football game. Remember that's the reason 552 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: they gave that he was ready for college because every 553 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: year he took a week out his year to coach 554 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: an exhibition game in Florida. So he can handle the 555 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: grind of being a college coach. Yep, No, there's no 556 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: question about whether he can handle the grind of it, 557 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: because he'll do the work. It's just a matter of, like, 558 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 1: I think your head coach needs to be a bit 559 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: more hands on. But now let's get to the weekend review. 560 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: UM we already covered the Oregon Utah game, so that 561 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 1: one was in the books. That game finished up thirty 562 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 1: eight to seven. But there was an interesting nugget about 563 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: that game, which was the ratings and ratings matter because 564 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: in a couple of years, you're gonna have um, uh 565 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: George clear negotiation for the broadcast rights, correct, and then 566 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,959 Speaker 1: that's gonna put a whole different spin on things. And 567 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: this game did uh four point eight million people watching? 568 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: Why why is that important, George? Well, it's important because 569 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: that four million number is crucial, is crucial to UM 570 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 1: it's crucial to uh those TV ratings because that's where 571 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:23,720 Speaker 1: they start paying a premium for your for your stuff, 572 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: and and that's the highest ranked and that's the highest 573 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: rated Pack twelve game in seven years, the most watched 574 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: Pack twelve game in seven years, Ralph four point eight million. 575 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: Granted time of time of day matters it was on 576 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: it was on ABC, but but still that is that 577 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: is a big deal for Utah Oregon. Granted Oregon probably 578 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: carried the lion's share of that being, especially being that 579 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,720 Speaker 1: they were number three in the country. But the fact 580 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: that you talk could draw that that interest too, I 581 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: thought was dope. Now that that was definitely really cool. Um. 582 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: The other thing that I think came out of this 583 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: game is USC got screwed over big time. Well because 584 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 1: Mr Tavan Thomas, who came over to Utah from Cincinnati 585 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: almost on loan, like he was in Major League Soccer 586 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 1: or something like that, runs runs Oregon off the field, 587 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: which puts his old team Cincinnati in position to go 588 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: to the College Football Playoff. And guess who's not leaving 589 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: his job if he's coaching in a college football playoff, 590 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 1: Mr Luke Fickle, Right, And with James Franklin out of 591 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: the mix, that was the next best big name candidate 592 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 1: to impress all those USC fans are so disillusioned with 593 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: Clay Elton over the years was by getting Luke Fickle. 594 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,760 Speaker 1: Now you're not gonna get Luke Fickle because Oregon lost. 595 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: So this is what you get by not being back 596 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: to back yep, yep. So any any usc people that 597 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: were high fiving that Oregon lost just lost out on 598 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: the opportunity to get Luke Fickle. They lost out on 599 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: James James Franklin as well. Hugh Freeze got a new extension, Like, 600 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: so what big got re locked up? Yep. Now, imagine, 601 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: so I said, if Dava Randa stays, Campbell and and 602 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: yeah and Luke Fickle, bro like, and then because I'm 603 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: pretty sure Billy Napier is gonna leave Louisiana, but if 604 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,359 Speaker 1: you'd be stupid not to kirk correct. So but if 605 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,760 Speaker 1: those three stayed because they're in good situations as well, Um, 606 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: what does that mean? Like? Who is out there? Like 607 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: they're trying to they're talking about Jeff Tepford, my former 608 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 1: office of coordinator at Oregon and former Fresno state head 609 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 1: coach and cal head coach about pulling him out of 610 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: the scratching damp band, uh because because he had health issues. Bro, 611 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how this works. Yeah, I 612 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: mean that that that's just it is. You know, they're 613 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: not USC is not going to be able to make 614 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: that splashy higher. They're just not. And then and if 615 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: USC can't do it, was Washington gonna do Washington States 616 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: at least in the position where a lot of people 617 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: think that Jake Dicker is going to be the right 618 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: guy for the job. So what is are you really 619 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 1: is that splash really gonna be Jane Orvell or Kalindvore. 620 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,760 Speaker 1: You're really going to get a West Coast Mountain West guys, 621 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: And that's gonna be the thing that impresses your your 622 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: your fan basis, because I you know, I don't know. 623 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: I think that I think I mean, you and I 624 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: both know that the smartest thing in the world would 625 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 1: be to go get Jonathan Smith, the best in game 626 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: head coach in the conference, and give him more talent, 627 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: give him more resources. And I don't know if Washington 628 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: has the stomach to do it, and I definitely don't 629 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: think USC has the stomach to do it. The home 630 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: run is Jonathan Smith. I don't think either one of 631 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,919 Speaker 1: those is gonna do it. And then if Oregon State 632 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: finds the resources to lock him up long term. By 633 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: the time USC finds a head coach, it's gonna be 634 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: their seventh option, and they're gonna it's gonna be wild 635 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: to watch the hoops that USC and Washington fans jumped 636 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: through to sell themselves on the idea that their head 637 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 1: coach was the best man for the job. Who's even 638 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: a bit like who who out of the box that 639 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: we haven't even talked about yet? Who could be a 640 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,240 Speaker 1: ten year higher with results at either Washington or USC? 641 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: Mm hmm, ten Uere at Washington? Maybe the dude from 642 00:40:56,080 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 1: Fresno State, the Warrior. Maybe maybe, But even then you 643 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 1: can say, hey, but he got a heck of a quarterback. Yep, No, No, 644 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: you are your brother. Do you think there's a universe 645 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,879 Speaker 1: that exists in which because here's the deal, David Shaw 646 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: hates so much about how college football works that Stanford 647 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: is really the only college job that makes sense for him. 648 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: Do you think there's a world in which USC could 649 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 1: prime away? No, this is not a not a chance, bro, 650 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,479 Speaker 1: not a not a chance in hell. Is there any 651 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: other currently employed Pack twelve coach that you think could 652 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: be pride away by either USC or Washington? Because Chris 653 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: Peterson is not coming back. I don't care what anybody says. 654 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 1: Kyle Whittingham. We keep hearing these retirement whispers. You think 655 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: you retired to so cal Go get himself a job 656 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: at USC. I don't think that's happening either. Not that 657 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,799 Speaker 1: that's a fair point, bro, very very fair point. Um. 658 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: All right, now onto the games. So we talked about Oregon. 659 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 1: You talk, but the Friday night game Arizona Washington State, 660 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: it was bad weather out there in Pullman. Washington State 661 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 1: got Bowl eligible, Arizona fell to one intent and they 662 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 1: were back to not being competitive again. UM forty four 663 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: to eighteen. UM. Jaden Dolora only completed thirteen passes, but 664 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: through for two fifty nine and four touchdowns. Max Borgi 665 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: had his final home game there. Um, you know, sixteen carries, 666 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine yards, two touchdowns. Even though he 667 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: still has a year of eligibility left. I think he's 668 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: either going to go to the league or transferred to 669 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: somewhere else. What was your takeaway from that game? Uh? 670 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 1: Drop plays still work for some teams. I think you 671 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 1: have they got draw played to death. Also, the minute 672 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: you saw those of flers, you knew it was over. 673 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 1: That was Uh, that broadcast in the snow was still 674 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: better than that late night ESPN truck they've been senting around. Yeah. Yeah, 675 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: it's hard to argue with Uh with with that, what 676 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: what what did you take away from Arizona? Because I 677 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: know that this is a good team, well sorry that 678 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,800 Speaker 1: this is a team that plays with good effort, particularly lately, 679 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: but they just didn't have They don't have the secondary 680 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 1: to keep up with the team that's gonna throw the 681 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,919 Speaker 1: ball every daw nor defensive line nor offensive line. They're 682 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,240 Speaker 1: just that they're not They're not there yet. And also 683 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: it was snowing and they were from Tucson. I don't 684 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 1: the second I saw snow, I was like, oh God, 685 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not 686 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 1: that's not gonna work with this team. Uh. They tried, 687 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: they tried, and they still got their ass beat. Um. 688 00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: It was more encouraging for Washington State because the scenario 689 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 1: now is still exists where Washington State can win the North. 690 00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 1: They could do it. They can actually can you imagine 691 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:13,320 Speaker 1: after all this, after everything that happened this season, especially 692 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: after early in the season, when you know what was 693 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,760 Speaker 1: Utah at one point like one in three. Uh, after 694 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: all that that, we could have a Washington State Utah 695 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 1: Pack twelve championship. Nope, nope, I cannot I cannot have it. 696 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,839 Speaker 1: I cannot imagine a world where that exists. Because if 697 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,320 Speaker 1: what is it? If Washington State wins and Oregon State wins, 698 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,319 Speaker 1: Washington State gets in right, Yeah, that is wild. And 699 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:45,520 Speaker 1: you know what Washington State might win, They might beat Utah. 700 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:50,640 Speaker 1: Jaden Delora is on fire. Yeah, he's cool man. I 701 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 1: like him a lot. I know, I know he's got 702 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: you know, more eligibility left. But it's one of those 703 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: things where you know, if there's a coaching transition, he might, 704 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: he might he fit to bounce. I don't think that 705 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 1: would be in his best interest. But um, I think 706 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 1: going into next year, if you're picking preseason Pack twelve 707 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 1: all first team, you know, I don't think you gotta 708 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 1: look much further than than Jane Delora. He might actually, 709 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, come out of the season with some awards 710 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,080 Speaker 1: as well, especially if they can win a couple of 711 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:23,720 Speaker 1: games in a row. Yep, alright, Uh, the next game 712 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 1: up U c l A at USC This was I 713 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 1: mean U c l A opened up agan of whoop 714 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 1: ass bro sixty two to thirty three sixty two points. 715 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: There's got to be the highest point total in the 716 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 1: PAC twelve this year, right, Yeah for sure, but I'm 717 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 1: probably the most since the seventies seven game last year. Yeah, 718 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: this was Yeah, you you had usc start Jackson Dart. 719 00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: What what was your impression of Jackson Dark twenty seven 720 00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 1: seven three one to down two picks? Um, there's talent there. 721 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,360 Speaker 1: There's a scene in um or is this scene in 722 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 1: the show Entourage where they spend all this time making 723 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:16,720 Speaker 1: that movie Meta Jean Um based on pap Pablo Escobar, 724 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: and then they screen it for critics and the movie 725 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,120 Speaker 1: sucks so bad that they have to sell it to 726 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: a dollar or sell it for a dollar to the 727 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: producer that wanted to finance it in the first place. 728 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 1: And the producer says there's a movie in there somewhere, 729 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: Like he's like, we'll get it figured out. That's how 730 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 1: I feel about Jackson Dart. The results are bad. He 731 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 1: actually played like he played bad. They lost bad. He 732 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 1: has not won a game all year. He's he looked 733 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 1: good for a minute in a game that they lost. Um, 734 00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 1: there's a really no, no, no no no in a game 735 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 1: that they won versus Washington State. Oh, that's right, but 736 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: he still threw a couple of picks right, Like he 737 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,800 Speaker 1: was all over the place. Yeah. So there's a really 738 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 1: good quarterback in there, a really good or back. He 739 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:05,719 Speaker 1: could move, he could throw, he's got um, he's got moxie. 740 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 1: He just feels like a USC quarterback goes out there 741 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 1: with that eye black on like a weirdo. Love it? Um, 742 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,360 Speaker 1: you hate it. I think it's awesome. I think it 743 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: makes him a character. I like, I see a very 744 00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 1: good quarterback in there. But you have to be very 745 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: honest about the fact that, like, just because he threw 746 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 1: over a bunch of yards doesn't mean he didn't play 747 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:33,279 Speaker 1: like ass. So I was not impressed, But I see it. 748 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,120 Speaker 1: I get it. He should have been playing at the 749 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 1: moment that he was healthy enough. He should have been playing, 750 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,840 Speaker 1: um over Keaton who's kind of had his potential maxed 751 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 1: out out there. So um, I'm really curious to see 752 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: where Keaton Slovas ends up. I'm really curious to see 753 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: if it's remains within the pack twelve. Uh conference that 754 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,800 Speaker 1: that that is fascinating to me. Um, But I don't 755 00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 1: know that Jackson dart is going to Jackson Dart is 756 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,760 Speaker 1: going to be the quarterback through a couple of really 757 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,000 Speaker 1: lean years. So hopefully by the time he's a junior 758 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 1: for USC fans um that they've surrounded him with enough 759 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 1: talent and a culture to where he can maximize what 760 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:18,440 Speaker 1: he's able to do. But I was not impressed. I 761 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: just get it. If you put the right people around him, 762 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 1: he's gonna do good things. Maybe, like like that's the 763 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 1: way I said, Like I say, Okay, there is some 764 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: marm talent, But I don't see how that was a 765 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 1: significant upgrade over Keaton slogan's. I think that they're just 766 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 1: tired of Keaton um all right. Now on the U 767 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 1: s on Now, on the U c l A side, 768 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,839 Speaker 1: you had Dorian Thompson Robinson have a good game. After 769 00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,279 Speaker 1: starting out with two picks, he ended up throwing for 770 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:52,479 Speaker 1: three and two throws. Yes, And to start the game, 771 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 1: Zack Charbonnet went off for a hundred and sixty seven yards. 772 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:00,080 Speaker 1: He looks like a man possessed. The dude is good it. 773 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: He has NFL running back written all over him. Did 774 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,439 Speaker 1: you see that the clip of him? Did you see 775 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: that clip of Zach Scharmon? Ay, Like rocking back and 776 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,799 Speaker 1: forth on the bench. No, Oh my god, I don't. 777 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,759 Speaker 1: I don't know if I would love if anybody could 778 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 1: see that saw this, could tweet me and and and 779 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 1: tell me. I didn't make this up in my mind. 780 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,239 Speaker 1: But they were talking about Zach Charbonay and they went 781 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 1: to a clip of him sitting on the bench and 782 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: he was, um, he do you remember was that Lou 783 00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 1: Mazzoni who that Braves pitching coach that never stopped rocking 784 00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 1: all the time. That's what he looked like. But he 785 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: had this look on his face like, let me out. 786 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, get this guy in 787 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 1: on defense, give him a put him in a Miles 788 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 1: Jack's situation. Just get him out on the field. He 789 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,400 Speaker 1: was he You're right, he was. How bad was that 790 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:51,719 Speaker 1: loss for USC though? It doesn't matter. I don't think 791 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,280 Speaker 1: anything matters this year. Really, I think that it became 792 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:59,799 Speaker 1: really clear that they were broken. Um something you've been 793 00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 1: now for a really long time running an offense that 794 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: they have no business running, ruining, ruining careers on the 795 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 1: defensive side of the football. I want to be really 796 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 1: clear about this. They ruined Chris Steele, Isaiah Polamo, Drake 797 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:25,280 Speaker 1: Jackson Um who's their prize recruit this last year, the 798 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 1: from Centennial Um, the d line and Corey Forma. Yeah, 799 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 1: they ruined him to the point where I can't even 800 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,759 Speaker 1: remember his name. And he was the best recruit coming 801 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:41,359 Speaker 1: out of California. Like they ruined, ruined these guys. They 802 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,040 Speaker 1: they are. These guys are gonna leave USC with the 803 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 1: reputation for being soft underperformers. They're gonna have to figure 804 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,080 Speaker 1: it out at the NFL level if they even can, 805 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,000 Speaker 1: or transfer out and become part of the identity of 806 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,960 Speaker 1: just a better football team. This is I don't think 807 00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,560 Speaker 1: anything matters like it was so it was so heartbreaking 808 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 1: slash hilarious that Chris Steele was one of those first 809 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 1: two interceptions, right, yes, so yeah, that they were like, 810 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,720 Speaker 1: oh man, you know, Chris Steele hasn't had an interception 811 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,399 Speaker 1: all year. Maybe he's finally figuring it out. And then 812 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,160 Speaker 1: Dorian Thompson Robinson, after throwing two picks in his first 813 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:25,319 Speaker 1: two throws, goes off for the most ridiculous game in 814 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 1: the Pac twelve all year against that same defense, shreds them, 815 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 1: signs an autograph for a USC fan with the U 816 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 1: c L A hat hurdles. A dude's just like and 817 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 1: they finished. I think us USC is gonna finish this 818 00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,719 Speaker 1: year with one win in the Colosseum, one win and 819 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: like five blowout losses. They sucked. They sucked. Man, They're terrible. 820 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 1: They gave up. They gave up the first win in 821 00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,359 Speaker 1: sixty years to Oregon State at the Coliseum, first win, 822 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,479 Speaker 1: and like a hundred years too to Utah. They they're 823 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 1: tear doble. They're just a horrible, horrible team. And they 824 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,840 Speaker 1: and they put in the work. They busted asked to 825 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 1: make sure they were this bad. Yeah, so you asked 826 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 1: me how bad it is? I don't know. All I 827 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,360 Speaker 1: know is that was It was really cool to see 828 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 1: and it felt like a metaphor. Chip Kelly stuck with 829 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 1: Dorian Thompson Robinson and then he figured it out. And 830 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,880 Speaker 1: not only did he figure it out, he did something magical. 831 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,279 Speaker 1: And I'm hoping that that's what U c l A 832 00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,959 Speaker 1: does with with with Chip Kelly, it feels like they're 833 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,279 Speaker 1: moving in the right direction and I think if they 834 00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 1: stick with him, I think the big time recruits will 835 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,919 Speaker 1: come based off of success. Yes, dude, they played Cow 836 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,560 Speaker 1: this week. If they beat Cow, they're going to be 837 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,280 Speaker 1: in a really good, good spot. Now here's the question, 838 00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 1: though quickly so we can finish it. Dorian Thompson Robinson 839 00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 1: still has a year of eligibility left. Yeah, does he 840 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: come back? I wouldn't. I wouldn't, dude. If Dorian Thompson 841 00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,120 Speaker 1: Robinson was my kid, he'd be taking his ass back 842 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 1: to school because well, not necessarily think that. Dorian Thompson 843 00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 1: Robinson's chip Kelly hating dad has turned the page that 844 00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,439 Speaker 1: much to where he would tell his son to stick 845 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 1: around the because it's about his future. Dorian Thompson Robinson, 846 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,719 Speaker 1: would you say that he's a better quarterback this year 847 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:35,840 Speaker 1: than he was last year? Yeah? Better quarterback than the 848 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 1: year before that. Oh heck yeah. And he's again very 849 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 1: new to the position. That's what the regular He could 850 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:47,880 Speaker 1: be a first round pick next year with yes, because 851 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 1: he's got the arm talent, he's mobile enough. If he 852 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:55,680 Speaker 1: can show mastery of coverage and and all that. Bro, 853 00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm telling you this dude can do it. I'm telling 854 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:07,239 Speaker 1: him to take advantage of that of that year. All right, Um, Washington, Colorado, 855 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:14,040 Speaker 1: Colorado will be Washington and seventeen and Washington fans have 856 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,279 Speaker 1: the nerve to be on my time. Lad ha ha. 857 00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:20,440 Speaker 1: Look at the wellness check on George Rice Stir ha 858 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,759 Speaker 1: ha ha. Dude, you lost to Colorado. Now Colorado has 859 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,760 Speaker 1: four wins. You're both sitting at four and seven after 860 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 1: some people on this podcast inexplicably picked you to win 861 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 1: the North. Ryan Lee, Okay, last week, I'm right about something. 862 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,799 Speaker 1: Sometimes you guys said this is the best roster while 863 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,359 Speaker 1: in Washington's history well as four. I didn't say that. 864 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 1: I didn't say that. I just thought was gonna be bad. 865 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:57,799 Speaker 1: So yeah, so they lost seventeen more inept offense from them. 866 00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,720 Speaker 1: But if you look at Dylan Morris's No. Umber thirty 867 00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 1: three for fifty two three eight seven, two touchdowns, two picks, 868 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:10,160 Speaker 1: that doesn't sound terrible. But then they put Patrick O'Brien 869 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 1: in and Jalen Millen instead of I'm sorry Patrick O'Brien 870 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 1: not Sam here. I don't know, bro, I don't know. 871 00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 1: I think what because um Huwart has played in three games, 872 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,880 Speaker 1: and I'm guessing they want they didn't want them. They 873 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,840 Speaker 1: want to get him in in the Apple Cup or 874 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 1: in a bowl game be more valuable than playing it 875 00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:35,320 Speaker 1: against Colorado. If the if the if if the point 876 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,720 Speaker 1: of football was to get to the twenty five yard line, 877 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:47,960 Speaker 1: Washington would have scored a hundred. Am I wrong? They 878 00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:52,400 Speaker 1: were f and Colorado between the reds is the truth. 879 00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:57,319 Speaker 1: They were like they were tearing Colorado up in the 880 00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:04,080 Speaker 1: middle of the field. I I'm serious. I'm dead serious 881 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:08,439 Speaker 1: about that. Bro. Think about this. Colorado won this football game. 882 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,440 Speaker 1: Colorado had less than two hundred yards of total offense 883 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 1: while Washington had over four hundred. You have a dad 884 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 1: ninety yards of defense on that scooping score, and and 885 00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 1: their quarterback did not throw a touchdow he ran four 886 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,920 Speaker 1: he doesn't turn the ball over though they ran for 887 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,239 Speaker 1: seventy one total yard Ralph, how did you lose a 888 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:37,360 Speaker 1: football game like like this? The other team had a 889 00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:42,280 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty three yards of total offense. You have 890 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:48,040 Speaker 1: four hundred and six team and you lose, and they 891 00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,520 Speaker 1: in Colorado like lost Brendan Rice early in them. Sorry, 892 00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:56,479 Speaker 1: not four D six four h I just I don't 893 00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 1: know what to say about this. Uh, Washington seasons over 894 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,319 Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter anyway, I guess um. But on 895 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:09,000 Speaker 1: the Colorado end, it's interesting because this is obviously this 896 00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,160 Speaker 1: is not enough to keep them from potentially moving on 897 00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 1: from Darren Shiverini at offensive coordinator. Um, they how differently 898 00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,520 Speaker 1: would we be talking about this Colorado team if their 899 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 1: resume included a victory over Texas A and M. Would 900 00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,360 Speaker 1: we be saying that like that, that that everything since 901 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 1: then is a disappointment. Yeah? True, Yeah, I don't know. 902 00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 1: It's just the Colorado and Colorado is gonna remember and 903 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,440 Speaker 1: Washington fans are gonna remember that this year that Colorado 904 00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:47,520 Speaker 1: was better than them. That's funny, man, all right, Um, 905 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:54,640 Speaker 1: cow at Stanford the big game, which was the little game. Um, 906 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:59,400 Speaker 1: everybody keeps telling forty one for Cow, eleven for Stanford 907 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,320 Speaker 1: could have felt felt thirty felt like a fifty point 908 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:09,720 Speaker 1: when Yeah, and Chase Garber's played played. Well. Tanner McKee, 909 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,800 Speaker 1: who everybody keeps saying, listen, guys can't judge Stanford without 910 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,560 Speaker 1: Tanner McKee. Well, Tanner McKee was there, and he is 911 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,400 Speaker 1: who I said. He was. Not a great run, not 912 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 1: a great quarterback. He's just a guy. Is the statue. 913 00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 1: We got to be the only podcast on earth that 914 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 1: isn't like saying that Stanford's good when they have Tanner McKee, Like, 915 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:37,520 Speaker 1: I don't Stanford is not good. They're better, yes, exactly, 916 00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:41,520 Speaker 1: they are better with him than they are with um 917 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,520 Speaker 1: Jack West. Yes, they're better with with Tanner McKee. But 918 00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:50,720 Speaker 1: better does not mean good. This team is horrible, horrible. 919 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:55,600 Speaker 1: They gave up okay, oh my god, they gave up 920 00:58:55,640 --> 00:59:02,640 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty two yards rushing and another two passing. Yep, 921 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 1: I told you, I told you. I told John Wilner. 922 00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:13,040 Speaker 1: Cal can move the football. It's just that Cal spent 923 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 1: a lot of time this year looking a lot like 924 00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,640 Speaker 1: Washington did against Colorado. They're moving the football and not 925 00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 1: getting touchdowns against Stanford. They have the ability to do that. 926 00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 1: But I think Cal is finally figuring things out on 927 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. And what they need 928 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,200 Speaker 1: to hope is that they can continue on with the 929 00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 1: same staff that they have this year. Justin Wilcox doesn't 930 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 1: rage quit and move his asked to Seattle like that's 931 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:38,200 Speaker 1: that's what the this That's the best that Cal can 932 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 1: hope for is that they that they figure out who's 933 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,479 Speaker 1: going to play quarterback for them next year. And again, 934 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 1: I guess Chase Garbers is in the same position that 935 00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:51,200 Speaker 1: that Dorian Thompson Robinson is. If you're Chase Garbers. Would 936 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 1: you stick around if if, if your coach leaves, I'm 937 00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:04,200 Speaker 1: probably out, probably out. But I mean, so they moved 938 01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 1: the football well and Stanford, I don't think this is 939 01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the Stanford's era is over 940 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 1: and a lot of that's outside their control. I think 941 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 1: the minute that we saw the transfer portal and the 942 01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 1: December seventh signing day become the norm, it was over 943 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:29,520 Speaker 1: for Stanford. See, I don't think it had to be over. 944 01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of arrogance about how 945 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:36,800 Speaker 1: you recruit and all of that. But this year they're 946 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 1: having it take Well, the best thing that Stanford could 947 01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,880 Speaker 1: do right now is moved to the triple option. Dude, 948 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,920 Speaker 1: they better. Here's the thing that they have to do. 949 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,000 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to have if they want to win, 950 01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to have the school make a commitment 951 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,120 Speaker 1: to winning. And if the school doesn't make a commitment 952 01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:00,640 Speaker 1: to winning, they're not gonna win. That's the That's the 953 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,000 Speaker 1: long and short of it. So a commitment to winning 954 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:08,280 Speaker 1: includes different academic standards for athletes, not even massively, just 955 01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:12,000 Speaker 1: if you put them somewhere in between Stanfords and U 956 01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,360 Speaker 1: c l A s now you're good. Like that's still 957 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:19,360 Speaker 1: a very high standard, you know, I mean, okay, but 958 01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:27,440 Speaker 1: you take some of the luster off of going to Stanford. No, 959 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:31,720 Speaker 1: because you're still at Stanford, bro, Like, in the academic 960 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 1: requirement is still high. Bro. They're they're they're doing themselves 961 01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:40,720 Speaker 1: a huge disservice. And I wonder how much rope that 962 01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,800 Speaker 1: uh David Shaw has because if he puts up another 963 01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 1: season like this next year, which is quite possible, it 964 01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,680 Speaker 1: could be over bro Alright, Uh, the final game from 965 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,720 Speaker 1: the weekend, we had Arizona State at Oregon State. Oregon 966 01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:58,200 Speaker 1: State twenty four, Arizona State ten. And the wheels have 967 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 1: absolutely fallen off off of this Arizona State team. You've 968 01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:09,160 Speaker 1: got Jaden Daniel's mom liking uh incendiary tweets about the 969 01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:16,200 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator and the team. Uh. I'm I'm wondering if 970 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,320 Speaker 1: and you know, there are whispers in the dark about 971 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 1: him leaving Arizona State. It seems like the wheels are 972 01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:31,400 Speaker 1: falling off. Ralph what wheels? And it just this is 973 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:33,439 Speaker 1: this is kind of more of the same. It's there's 974 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,919 Speaker 1: there's a lot of drama associated with this team this year. 975 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,840 Speaker 1: Jade Daniels is an interesting quarterback in that, you know, 976 01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,280 Speaker 1: you have a lot of people screaming that the team 977 01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:48,440 Speaker 1: didn't do enough to develop him. It's not his fault 978 01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 1: at all. Schemes are too complicated for him. Well that's 979 01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:57,240 Speaker 1: there's there's other problem, but there's just there's a there there, 980 01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 1: And I think even Arizona State fans who are die 981 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 1: hard Jane Daniels fans would agree with this. Everybody is 982 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:07,680 Speaker 1: going out of their way to make the most possible 983 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:12,360 Speaker 1: excuses for Jade Daniels that you can possibly make, and 984 01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 1: at some point only having you know what, Let's play 985 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:23,560 Speaker 1: a game, George. In the last fifteen games, how many 986 01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,040 Speaker 1: touchdown passes do you think a s U has out 987 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 1: of the quarterback position? Yep, uh eleven? Okay, so you 988 01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:40,600 Speaker 1: went super low. It's fourteen. Fourteen touchdown passes in fifteen games. 989 01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:45,120 Speaker 1: Fifteen games is a very large sample size. You can 990 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:49,840 Speaker 1: remove the anomalies from having any factor in what you're 991 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:53,960 Speaker 1: able to glean from from fifteen games. Fourteen touchdown passes 992 01:03:54,280 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 1: in fifteen games is who Jaden Daniels is. That's who 993 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:09,040 Speaker 1: he is. Yeah, you are who you are. The idea 994 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:12,280 Speaker 1: that like Jaden Daniels threw a few touchdown passes, had 995 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,920 Speaker 1: a few good runs as a freshman, and protected the ball, 996 01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,920 Speaker 1: and then you imagine who he could be if he 997 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:24,200 Speaker 1: got better. That's the issue. Arizona State fans imagined who 998 01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:27,320 Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels could be if he got better than he 999 01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 1: did um when he was a freshman. But instead, right, so, 1000 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:40,680 Speaker 1: instead he turned the ball over more. He's thrown less touchdowns. 1001 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:44,000 Speaker 1: Some people are calling that regression. I don't necessarily think 1002 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:48,640 Speaker 1: that's regression. I just think that he is who he is. 1003 01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:54,800 Speaker 1: He has not thrown a three yard passing game since 1004 01:04:54,920 --> 01:05:01,720 Speaker 1: they beat Oregon in He is averaging less than a 1005 01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:08,240 Speaker 1: touchdown past a game in the last two years. He 1006 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 1: is a runner, but not that kind of runner. He 1007 01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 1: has the ability to get games. And he's only thrown 1008 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 1: eight touch nows. Right, that's not good And and and 1009 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,080 Speaker 1: people are like, well, Zach Hill, what's what did Zack 1010 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 1: Hill do wrong? Go look at go look at the 1011 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,320 Speaker 1: year that Zach Hill had three freshman quarterbacks at Boise. 1012 01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:36,760 Speaker 1: You can look at their stat In fact, in fact, 1013 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull up Hank black Meyer's stats right now, 1014 01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:46,240 Speaker 1: because are you telling me that that Jade Daniels isn't 1015 01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 1: even on the level of Hank black Meyer. Okay, so 1016 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:55,160 Speaker 1: this is twenty nineteen at Boise Okay, twenty nineteen Boise State. 1017 01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 1: This is their quarterback play when they had multiple injuries, 1018 01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:04,280 Speaker 1: multiple people coming in and out. Chase cord a freshman, 1019 01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:09,680 Speaker 1: Hank bach Meyer freshman, and Jalen Henderson combine. Those guys 1020 01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:15,480 Speaker 1: had thirty touchdowns eleven interceptions, the three of them all 1021 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,120 Speaker 1: having to play together, all appearing in at least eight 1022 01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 1: games because everybody was banged up all year long. You're 1023 01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:27,400 Speaker 1: gonna tell me Zach Hill's the problem. Nope, Nope, nope. 1024 01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 1: Thirty touchdowns in one season from two freshmen and Jalen Henderson. 1025 01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 1: But Jaden Daniels can't average a touchdown pass a game, 1026 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:43,840 Speaker 1: and that's Zach Hill's fault. Like now, Jaden Daniels is 1027 01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 1: who he is, He's okay, he's got It's a game 1028 01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:52,680 Speaker 1: manager who is fast. And if Jaden Daniels thinks that 1029 01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:54,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna go to some other school in some other 1030 01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,000 Speaker 1: offense and play his way into being a Day one 1031 01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,520 Speaker 1: or two draft pick, I full he encourage him to 1032 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,200 Speaker 1: do that. And if Arizona State thinks they're gonna fire 1033 01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,480 Speaker 1: Zach Hill and convince some offensive coordinator that is in 1034 01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,600 Speaker 1: need of a job to come in and change Jaden 1035 01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,080 Speaker 1: Daniels into a guy who can be a day or 1036 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 1: Day one or day to draft pick. Good luck. Everybody 1037 01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 1: needs to do what they think is absolutely necessary in 1038 01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,440 Speaker 1: order to win. But you know, I've heard people say. 1039 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,600 Speaker 1: I've heard people say two things. Zach Hill doesn't know 1040 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,120 Speaker 1: what he's doing, and they've regressed because of Zack Hill 1041 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:34,920 Speaker 1: or Jane and Daniels isn't able to grasp the complexities 1042 01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:38,160 Speaker 1: of a Zach Hill offense. But Hank Bachmayer and Chase 1043 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:43,240 Speaker 1: Court could his freshman at Boise State. So who's what's 1044 01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:49,439 Speaker 1: the issue? No, very very very fair point, man, very 1045 01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:51,960 Speaker 1: very fair point. But I don't know. All I know 1046 01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:54,240 Speaker 1: is that game. That game was ugly, man, That game 1047 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:57,200 Speaker 1: was ugly. It was to ten, and the only touchdown 1048 01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:00,560 Speaker 1: the Arizona State got came because Oregon State, it's punter, 1049 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:05,960 Speaker 1: you didn't field the snap at the four. Yeah, yep. 1050 01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:10,840 Speaker 1: And and then I mean Chase Nolan only through for 1051 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:16,559 Speaker 1: ninety yards on twelve completions. Oregon State ran about forty 1052 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,760 Speaker 1: six times for two and thirty seven yards. This, this 1053 01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:24,719 Speaker 1: to me, was an embarrassing loss the way it happened 1054 01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:29,679 Speaker 1: for Arizona State, And now it makes me wonder about 1055 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen this weekend. I'm not so what what 1056 01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:34,120 Speaker 1: do you? What do you think about? What do you 1057 01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,240 Speaker 1: think about the quote that her Medwards quote after the game? 1058 01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:39,360 Speaker 1: Because they got they had so again I was wrong. 1059 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:43,360 Speaker 1: They got a bunch of penalties. Um, there wasn't even 1060 01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:47,679 Speaker 1: a huge crowd. They always have penalty, but they got Uh. 1061 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 1: It was like false start, false start, defensive pass interference, 1062 01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 1: false start. That was a four place sequence in which 1063 01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 1: zero plays actually counted. Um, three false starts. Her Medords, 1064 01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,360 Speaker 1: You can't coach that? Is that true? That a coach 1065 01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,639 Speaker 1: can't coach his players false not? That is not true. 1066 01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:11,599 Speaker 1: It is about discipline, accountability, and from everything I've heard, 1067 01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:15,679 Speaker 1: there's a lack of accountability going on at at Arizona State. 1068 01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:19,559 Speaker 1: Why why, but why would you say that? Why would 1069 01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:21,360 Speaker 1: you say that? Why would you say that you can't 1070 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,840 Speaker 1: coach discipline, that they either do it or they don't. 1071 01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,679 Speaker 1: Because I guess on some level that's true that people 1072 01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,240 Speaker 1: either take your advice or they don't take your advice, 1073 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,120 Speaker 1: but at some point when it's your job to get 1074 01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 1: people to take your advice, who's fault is it? Yep, 1075 01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:43,520 Speaker 1: it's yours. So what so question here is, sir, what happened? 1076 01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:49,160 Speaker 1: What happened uh to early in the season. I think 1077 01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,920 Speaker 1: it was the B y U game when you were like, yo, 1078 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,240 Speaker 1: like this team will never be penalized like that. Again, 1079 01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:59,599 Speaker 1: that was an anomaly, and they're constantly penalized every week, 1080 01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 1: well except for with a couple of exceptions. I don't know. 1081 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,479 Speaker 1: I don't know. I was I was willing to bet 1082 01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:12,720 Speaker 1: my life on that. I don't know. Yeah, what am 1083 01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,560 Speaker 1: I supposed to say here? That it's ridiculous? Man? You 1084 01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:18,240 Speaker 1: got wide receivers getting ball starts, you got running backs 1085 01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:22,640 Speaker 1: getting ball starts, multiple offensive lineman you know, and the 1086 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 1: in the games that they commit less penalties, they just 1087 01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:30,400 Speaker 1: so happy to win that like there's not a correlation, 1088 01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 1: all right now, But you can't coach that. You can't. 1089 01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,120 Speaker 1: It's not a thing you can coach, just just bad players, 1090 01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:39,439 Speaker 1: I guess, yep, exactly, don't don't don't be my mic leach. 1091 01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:44,320 Speaker 1: Um all right now, the next thing is, um, the 1092 01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:50,320 Speaker 1: games for this week? Now, these games matter a lot 1093 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,800 Speaker 1: for in particular circumstances. So we will start with the 1094 01:10:54,840 --> 01:11:00,360 Speaker 1: Friday games. You have Colorado at Utah. Utah's face by 1095 01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:04,320 Speaker 1: twenty three and a half points over under fifty two. 1096 01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:14,200 Speaker 1: Give me give because give me Colorado plus twenty three 1097 01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:20,160 Speaker 1: and a half and I'm gonna go with the over. Yeah, 1098 01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,920 Speaker 1: I guess the team doesn't. Actually actually, if I go 1099 01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,839 Speaker 1: with the over, that means that twenty three minus fifty 1100 01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:31,800 Speaker 1: two that's twenty eight. Yeah. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm gonna 1101 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:36,880 Speaker 1: stay with the over. Um yeah, I think, I think. 1102 01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:39,679 Speaker 1: I Also, this geame just doesn't matter. It doesn't matter 1103 01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:43,160 Speaker 1: for Utah at all, does it except for if they 1104 01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:46,559 Speaker 1: want to stay ranked or does that end up in 1105 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:50,439 Speaker 1: a New Year's six Bowl. You think that there's a 1106 01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,160 Speaker 1: way for them to get because I mean, if they 1107 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,160 Speaker 1: win the Pactuel of Championship, they're going to the Rose Bowl. 1108 01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:00,360 Speaker 1: Oh oh, if they if they win this week and 1109 01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:02,720 Speaker 1: then lose to Oregon, yet they're not going to New 1110 01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,640 Speaker 1: Year's six Ball. So yeah, so at this game, and 1111 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,600 Speaker 1: if they lose this week and win against Oregon, it 1112 01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:12,120 Speaker 1: doesn't they're locked into the ball. Yeah, this game, So 1113 01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 1: it's it's the game just doesn't really matter at all, 1114 01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:20,840 Speaker 1: and so that makes me want to say Colorado plus 1115 01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:24,000 Speaker 1: twenty three and a half. Um, but I don't think 1116 01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:25,960 Speaker 1: Colorado is gonna score that much, So I'm gonna take 1117 01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:32,320 Speaker 1: the under. Okay, alright, Washington State at Washington the Apple 1118 01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 1: Cup that neither Nick Rolovich or Jimmy Lake actually got 1119 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,679 Speaker 1: to coaching, which is for not, which is craziness. Right, 1120 01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,760 Speaker 1: in two seasons as head coach, neither one of them 1121 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:46,880 Speaker 1: got a chance to coach the Apple Cup. They both 1122 01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,600 Speaker 1: finished zero and zero, Washington State six and five. But 1123 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:53,960 Speaker 1: this game is huge for Washington State. Washington State to 1124 01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:57,880 Speaker 1: one point, favorite, I can't even remember the last time, um, 1125 01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:03,800 Speaker 1: that they beat Washington, especially in Washington. UM over under 1126 01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:09,360 Speaker 1: of forty three and a half? Who you got the 1127 01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,720 Speaker 1: over unders forty three and a half. What kind of 1128 01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:16,280 Speaker 1: weather are we talking about? Forty three and a half 1129 01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:20,679 Speaker 1: really has rained? Dude? Why why had bad weather their 1130 01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:25,000 Speaker 1: last terrible weather? And then Washington State had the snow 1131 01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:30,120 Speaker 1: last week. I'll take the over just because it's very tempting. Um. 1132 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:34,080 Speaker 1: And then Washington, Washington is not really playing for anything 1133 01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,280 Speaker 1: other than pride. At this point, they were moving the 1134 01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,640 Speaker 1: ball pretty well against Colorado, which means if they can 1135 01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:41,800 Speaker 1: clean a couple of things up that that maybe they'll 1136 01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,920 Speaker 1: score a little bit. But Washington State is playing for 1137 01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:48,320 Speaker 1: their head coaches job because I think if they win 1138 01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,599 Speaker 1: the Apple Cup with Jake Dickert in charge, that they 1139 01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:54,960 Speaker 1: can they can stop the search. Yep, yeah, can I 1140 01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:56,760 Speaker 1: tell you can tell you something about Washington State. I 1141 01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,200 Speaker 1: woke up, I woke up a couple of days ago, 1142 01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:00,760 Speaker 1: and I don't know if I was dreaming about it 1143 01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:02,479 Speaker 1: or just thinking about it first thing in the morning. 1144 01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,839 Speaker 1: Do you know how funny it is that a Catholic 1145 01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:12,639 Speaker 1: is suing a Catholic over religious discrimination. That is wild. 1146 01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:16,160 Speaker 1: I didn't even think about it. I've been cracking up 1147 01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:19,720 Speaker 1: about that. Like it was just like, oh, yeah, you know, 1148 01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:23,479 Speaker 1: obviously Nick Rolovic is definitely gonna sue because there's a 1149 01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:25,040 Speaker 1: lot of money left on the table and he was 1150 01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,240 Speaker 1: fired for cause, and like it makes sense for him 1151 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 1: to sue, right. But the more I think about it, 1152 01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 1: the more I'm just like, Wow, he's really suing a 1153 01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:36,080 Speaker 1: Catholic for religious discrimination of a Catholic. That is gonna 1154 01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:41,280 Speaker 1: be fascinating in court. Yes, very very Yeah, there have 1155 01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:47,360 Speaker 1: to prove Pat Chun hates his religion. Um. Yeah, and 1156 01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:51,840 Speaker 1: Washington Washington State hasn't won in Seattle since two thousand 1157 01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,880 Speaker 1: and seven, and they've actually only beat Washington once since 1158 01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:00,400 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. So yeah, there's that. Um I 1159 01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,320 Speaker 1: like Washington State. Is that that? That's what you're going with? Yep? 1160 01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:08,040 Speaker 1: I like Washington State and the over as well. So 1161 01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:13,519 Speaker 1: next game up, the the next game that means something 1162 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:17,240 Speaker 1: in the PAC twelve is Oregon State at Oregon Oregon's 1163 01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,479 Speaker 1: favorite by a touchdown over under sixty and a half. 1164 01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 1: I'm going with my Ducks minus seven, and I'm gonna 1165 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:30,280 Speaker 1: take the over as well, because Oregon State's defense is 1166 01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:38,960 Speaker 1: an absolute disaster at times at least. Uh. Yeah, they definitely, 1167 01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:43,720 Speaker 1: they definitely sold out to stop the run. Here's what 1168 01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,519 Speaker 1: I worry about, George, Um, because you're talking, you're talking 1169 01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:49,519 Speaker 1: about Jane Daniel's mom liking tweets. One of them was 1170 01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:54,080 Speaker 1: that Arizona State staff turned Jane Daniels into Anthony Brown. 1171 01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:58,960 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that was one of the tweets. Uh. 1172 01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:03,719 Speaker 1: And And so if Oregon State sells out to stop 1173 01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:07,479 Speaker 1: the run the way that they did against Arizona State 1174 01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:11,200 Speaker 1: and forces Anthony Brown to go out and win the game. 1175 01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:17,200 Speaker 1: Can he do it? Yep? Oh, I don't think they 1176 01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,479 Speaker 1: can force him to do that though, right? You think 1177 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:24,320 Speaker 1: that Oregon State's running game is levels above Arizona State 1178 01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:27,080 Speaker 1: to where they wouldn't they wouldn't even be in that 1179 01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:31,840 Speaker 1: predicament that I loved. I love Travis Dye, but Rashad 1180 01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:35,599 Speaker 1: White is no slouch. Yeah. But what what I'm saying 1181 01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:39,879 Speaker 1: is is that Utah's defense is significantly better than Oregon 1182 01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,840 Speaker 1: States defense. So I don't believe Oregon State is going 1183 01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,360 Speaker 1: to be able to stop Oregon That the better chances 1184 01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:49,280 Speaker 1: Oregon stopping Oregon State. Yeah, and I'm just saying that 1185 01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,599 Speaker 1: I watched Oregon States sell out to stop the running 1186 01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:54,479 Speaker 1: inast Arizona State and it worked. And so if Jade 1187 01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,080 Speaker 1: Daniels really isn't doesn't run the ball as well as 1188 01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:01,880 Speaker 1: Oregon does, are are we sure? Yeah? We sure about that? 1189 01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:06,080 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Well, well we'll let the 1190 01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:10,320 Speaker 1: we'll let people write in on that one. But um, yeah, 1191 01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:11,960 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know what. Give me the spread 1192 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:15,880 Speaker 1: one more time? Seven points Oregon State. I think I 1193 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,519 Speaker 1: think Oregon wins, but I think it's gonna be a loser. 1194 01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,120 Speaker 1: How many? Oh, what's your record on taking Oregon in 1195 01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 1: the points this year? Like one and ten, lies, lies, 1196 01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:33,080 Speaker 1: two and nine four times? It's not it's not better 1197 01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:38,679 Speaker 1: than two and nine. Yes, how did you last week? George? 1198 01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:42,920 Speaker 1: And actually, and there's a push in there too. Oh, 1199 01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:46,479 Speaker 1: that's okay, I'm giving you at least at least that's 1200 01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,960 Speaker 1: the better push than Oregon got last week. All right, 1201 01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,240 Speaker 1: all right, the next game up? B y U at 1202 01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:56,040 Speaker 1: U s C b y U b YU by million, 1203 01:17:56,800 --> 01:18:02,000 Speaker 1: two millions. What's the spreads sixty four? Oh? No, no, no, 1204 01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:05,559 Speaker 1: be okay, the spread by us favored by seven points 1205 01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:08,519 Speaker 1: over under sixty four? How much are we are we 1206 01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,759 Speaker 1: taking out loans to bet on this game because we should? 1207 01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:16,800 Speaker 1: Oh my god? Row seven? Okay, yes, seven points, only 1208 01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:20,400 Speaker 1: seven points. I would take it at seventeen. I would 1209 01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 1: take it at seventeen too, So we were both on 1210 01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:26,680 Speaker 1: b YU. This feels like a lay up, dude, and um, 1211 01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:32,080 Speaker 1: so over under sixty four. I'm going over so many. 1212 01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:35,559 Speaker 1: B y U is gonna score forty in this game, 1213 01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:42,840 Speaker 1: this game like U c l a uh U c 1214 01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:46,840 Speaker 1: L a USC last week sixty two thirty three. I 1215 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:51,320 Speaker 1: would take the over at seventy five. Bro, I'm gonna 1216 01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:54,679 Speaker 1: take the under because I think, what's that fifty nine 1217 01:18:55,760 --> 01:19:00,240 Speaker 1: to fourteen? Oh my gosh, Bro. And then and and 1218 01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:03,439 Speaker 1: and then strong consideration for b YU playing in the 1219 01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:12,559 Speaker 1: PACK twelve Championship, Oh bro against against against who, well, 1220 01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:20,520 Speaker 1: they already beat Washington State, they so, Oh my god, George. 1221 01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,200 Speaker 1: But if Washington State, if so, that's just it. If 1222 01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:26,439 Speaker 1: Washington State ends up playing against Utah in the PAC 1223 01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,680 Speaker 1: twelveth Championship, b y you beat them both, b y 1224 01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:32,360 Speaker 1: U is the PAC twelve champion. If that happens. The 1225 01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,000 Speaker 1: only way, the only way that it would be disputed 1226 01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:39,360 Speaker 1: is if Oregon gets it. That's it. Yep. That's a 1227 01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:43,719 Speaker 1: good point alright, Um, cal at U c l A 1228 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:45,560 Speaker 1: U c l A is favored by six and a 1229 01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:49,520 Speaker 1: half points over under fifty eight. I got the bruins 1230 01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:57,920 Speaker 1: and the under. Uh. I'm gonna surprise some people on 1231 01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:03,200 Speaker 1: this one. Um. I think cal covers. I really this 1232 01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,280 Speaker 1: is weird to say that I'm rooting for a team. 1233 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:09,080 Speaker 1: I hope U c l A wins, um, because I 1234 01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:10,880 Speaker 1: think that they would just throw us right back into 1235 01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 1: the confusion of is U C l A going to 1236 01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,840 Speaker 1: make a change head coach, and I don't think that's 1237 01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:17,600 Speaker 1: the best thing for them to be doing. Obviously, the 1238 01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:23,120 Speaker 1: contract situation is its own beast with Chip Kelly. But um, 1239 01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:26,200 Speaker 1: I do think Cal's ability to move the football is 1240 01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:28,960 Speaker 1: not a fluke. So I'm gonna take the over and 1241 01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:32,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Cal. But I am fingers crossed that 1242 01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:34,280 Speaker 1: that because I don't I don't know how much it 1243 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:38,720 Speaker 1: really means. Can Cal get to a bowl? H No? 1244 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,240 Speaker 1: Actually yes, yes, yes, because they would have to beat 1245 01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:46,320 Speaker 1: U C l A and then beat USC. Okay, So, 1246 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:48,479 Speaker 1: so the two teams right now that still have bowl 1247 01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:51,960 Speaker 1: eligibility that are not in a bowl, our Cow and USC. 1248 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:55,200 Speaker 1: It would be very very interesting to have USC and 1249 01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:58,920 Speaker 1: Cal at five and six squaring off. Nobody's gonna give 1250 01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,160 Speaker 1: a ship if both of those teams are four and seven. 1251 01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,920 Speaker 1: You are right about both of those teams are probably 1252 01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:11,280 Speaker 1: gonna be four and seven. Now yep, um, all right? 1253 01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:16,719 Speaker 1: Uh so do you have the you took over Calona 1254 01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:22,479 Speaker 1: over Okay Um Arizona Arizona state issues favored by twenty 1255 01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:25,880 Speaker 1: and a half point over under fifty two and a half. 1256 01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:27,760 Speaker 1: But that means that they don't even think they're gonna 1257 01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:32,680 Speaker 1: score two touchdowns. I I'm going to take Arizona in 1258 01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:36,080 Speaker 1: this game. This I feel very confident that they will 1259 01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:42,400 Speaker 1: not lose by three touchdowns because Arizona State if this game, 1260 01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,639 Speaker 1: if they're able to keep this game close, if Arizona 1261 01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:47,760 Speaker 1: can keep it close to early, the wheels are gonna 1262 01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:51,200 Speaker 1: come off, bro, and they'll win on like a and 1263 01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:56,800 Speaker 1: Arizona will win on like a hell marry or something. Uh. 1264 01:21:57,080 --> 01:22:01,760 Speaker 1: This game was a sixty three point deficit last year. UM, 1265 01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:04,360 Speaker 1: Believe it or not. Arizona State is better than last 1266 01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:06,880 Speaker 1: year's team, and you have A is worse than last 1267 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:10,240 Speaker 1: year's team. So it's not gonna be sixty three again. 1268 01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 1: That's one of those like the wheels fell off and 1269 01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:14,280 Speaker 1: then it just kept getting worse and worse. It was 1270 01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:18,880 Speaker 1: a snowball game. Um. But first of all, I feel 1271 01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:21,200 Speaker 1: very confident about taking the over on the fifty two 1272 01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:25,720 Speaker 1: maybe the most competent either USC plus are you U 1273 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,080 Speaker 1: B y U minus seven or a s U you 1274 01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:29,720 Speaker 1: have a over? Fifty two is the one of the 1275 01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:32,080 Speaker 1: two things I feel the most confident and definitely going 1276 01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:35,400 Speaker 1: in the Unafraid Show. Uh. Fear as Friday picks. Um, 1277 01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:39,720 Speaker 1: So I'll taking the over for sure, and then I 1278 01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:41,759 Speaker 1: gotta I'm gonna, I'm gonna take a s U because 1279 01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:44,320 Speaker 1: even if you split in half what they did last year, 1280 01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,960 Speaker 1: that's still a thirty something point went so um, it's 1281 01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,760 Speaker 1: still it's still a matter of talent in Arizona State 1282 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:54,439 Speaker 1: is still the much much, much much better team. I 1283 01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:57,800 Speaker 1: think that Arizona State with it. And I know a 1284 01:22:57,840 --> 01:22:59,760 Speaker 1: lot of people say, just win the game, but I 1285 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:02,599 Speaker 1: think Arizona State would be embarrassed if they went out 1286 01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:05,120 Speaker 1: there and went on a field goal. I think that's 1287 01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:09,040 Speaker 1: a victory for you of a yeah, oh absolutely, I 1288 01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:10,760 Speaker 1: mean not on not not on the scoreboard. They'd still 1289 01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:12,720 Speaker 1: be one and eleven. But at the same time, to 1290 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:16,639 Speaker 1: go from losing by sixty three to losing by three, Yeah, 1291 01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:21,360 Speaker 1: I got Arizona and the and the under. What do 1292 01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 1: you have Arizona State and the over? Okay, And I'll 1293 01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:27,960 Speaker 1: buy ten points and put it on the over al 1294 01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,800 Speaker 1: sixty that it's gonna they're going over fifty two for sure, 1295 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:36,280 Speaker 1: all right. Airs Notre Dame at Stanford. Notre Dame's favored 1296 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:41,280 Speaker 1: by twenty and a half points over under fifty two. 1297 01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:44,080 Speaker 1: Give me the over. Notre Dame probably is going to 1298 01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:49,519 Speaker 1: score fifty two all by themselves. This. Why is this 1299 01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,640 Speaker 1: line at twenty points? It should be at forty this 1300 01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:56,880 Speaker 1: the line should be the same. Thing is if uh 1301 01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:03,759 Speaker 1: is if Notre Dame was playing like a directional school, dude, 1302 01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:08,320 Speaker 1: if they were playing Sanford instead of Stanford, I would 1303 01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:14,840 Speaker 1: expect the lines to be the same. Jesus um, Yeah, 1304 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:19,639 Speaker 1: it's twenty and a half. Is that you said twenty 1305 01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:23,280 Speaker 1: and a half? Is the spread? Yeah? Yeah, there's no 1306 01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:28,000 Speaker 1: reason not to take that. That that this is twenty one, easy, easy, twenty. 1307 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:30,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll take the over as well. But it 1308 01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 1: feels really bad at the end of the season to 1309 01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,680 Speaker 1: be talking about these Nonpack twelve teams beating the ship 1310 01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:40,719 Speaker 1: out of Pack twelve times and being very they're gonna 1311 01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:44,479 Speaker 1: go seven oh seven and oh into PAC twelve this year. 1312 01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:49,120 Speaker 1: And both of them played USC and one of them 1313 01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:52,880 Speaker 1: played Stanford. So so we're saying So what we're saying 1314 01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,479 Speaker 1: is we fully expect there will not be another Bull 1315 01:24:55,560 --> 01:25:00,640 Speaker 1: team because it would take both cal So there can 1316 01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:02,680 Speaker 1: only be one more, right, There can't be any more 1317 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 1: than one more. It would it would take USC it 1318 01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:09,840 Speaker 1: would take USC and Cow winning this week and then 1319 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,680 Speaker 1: one of them winning next week, so only one more 1320 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,560 Speaker 1: team can get Bowl eligible. God, it would be just 1321 01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:18,200 Speaker 1: like it would be just like the Pac twelve to 1322 01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:20,600 Speaker 1: have like USC find a way to beat b y 1323 01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:24,439 Speaker 1: U while Cal loses to U C l A, and 1324 01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:27,920 Speaker 1: then USC would just need to beat Cal and then 1325 01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:32,560 Speaker 1: they would lose, and right they and they'd find a 1326 01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:34,760 Speaker 1: way for neither one to go. But I don't even 1327 01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:36,240 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be that. I think they're both gonna 1328 01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:39,040 Speaker 1: be four and seven going into Um. Well that that 1329 01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:41,320 Speaker 1: that's a bad year.
