00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: zone as of yet, but we will cross over an

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: hour or two while the rest of the country counts

8
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,560

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: I just want to make this point as we come

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: k fig what's up Kevin Figures? Are you ready for

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: a full college football day today?

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: Man? You know, Chris, it's my favorite time of year.

23
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you.

24
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: I was so excited whenever I realized that I very

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: nee jerkingly took this shift before, so for me in

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: the Central time zone. For those of you that struggle

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: with math and don't live in God's time zone, this

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: show is one AM to four AM, and then I

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: jumped back on the year at seven am for pregame coverage.

30
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: But then when I saw k Fig was in, I was.

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: Like, okay, let's go. But just just a full disclosure. Okay,

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: I am.

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: I'm not a gambler right with my job and what

34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: I do for my quote unquote nine to five. I

35
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: just I don't want to risk it. I'm not like

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: an Iowa State or an Iowa football player. I'm not

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: like an Alabama baseball coach. For me, it's not worth

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: risking it. But I get in several different competitions, right all,

39
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: I'm not not necessarily financially motivated, but it's it's it's

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: bragging bragging rights, which to me Kfig sometimes bragging rights

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: are much more important than actual finances.

42
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: Maybe that's just me right, And.

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 3: I also fine with the gambling, and I feel like

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: I'm in the minority in this, but it kind of.

45
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: Sucks the fun out of watching football for me. Oh okay, yeah,

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: I agree.

47
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 3: I've got a certain point, It's like, why am I

48
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 3: sitting here watching a Arizona State San Jose State game

49
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 3: and the team is up fifty five to twelve, and

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: I'm trying to see if someone can score a three

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: touchdown at the end to cover the spread?

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: Hey?

53
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: What am I doing? And by the way, why would

54
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: you be betting on that to begin with? So I'm

55
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: not trying to implode Bernie Skimmick. I'm just base our life.

56
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you that's that's not my thing. Yeah,

57
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: but in this pick competition that I'm in, I have

58
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: already been undercut tonight because with our local affiliate in

59
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: Norman ninety four excuse me, fourteen ninety nine point three FM,

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: and we're also on A ninety four seven in Oklahoma City,

61
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: we we pick one outright upset and one lock. Everybody

62
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: does it, and my outright upset was Georgia Tech. And

63
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: I'm just I feel like honesty is the best recipe

64
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: in life. At halftime, I know what time this show starts.

65
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: I thought to myself, is grab a quick nap, Grab

66
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: a quick nap. I go to bed, I thinking I've

67
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: already picked up my points needed to get the out

68
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: Because if you hit that outright upset in this competition. Okay, Fike,

69
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: that's three points and this goes all season long. Three points.

70
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: So I'm feeling really good about things. I'm like, oh,

71
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: I'm sleeping well, right, wake up, turn my phone over,

72
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: and Georgia Tech lost what I went to bed with

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: people talking about you know, hey, it's King. Oh my gosh,

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: Texas State. What Haines King did in the first half

75
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: was better than A and M Ever did I mean

76
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: I'm literally I'm having dreams about being able to brag

77
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: about you guys.

78
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: Did you see what I did?

79
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: Look at that look at that pick right off the

80
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: bat in order to have an upset and just literally

81
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: nailing it, and then of course the whole bottom fell out.

82
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: Now that's one negative the other negative. And I'll mention

83
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 2: the name just because I know there's no way he

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 2: is up. I love Jeff Schwartz. I love Jeff Schwartz.

85
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: I think he is one of the smartest, most intelligent,

86
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: best football minds that we have on Fox Sports Radio,

87
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: the best. Now I'm not gonna lie man Carry Rose

88
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: really good. I like listening to Carry but Jeff Schwartz, right,

89
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz money every single time I go with a

90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz pick, it is d F W dead leaping wrong. Now,

91
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: I know, I know Jeff does well. I mean he's

92
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: on our MGM show every single I think what Jeff's

93
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: on Sunday Morning. He's got a podcast now with Chris

94
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: the Bear Felika. So he is very smart whenever it

95
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: comes to his picks, his prognostications and understanding the spread.

96
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: But every pick I ever go with with Jeff is wrong.

97
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: So my lock tonight Kevin was Hawaii. I think it

98
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: ended up being plus two and a half when I

99
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: finally went with it against Stanford, and this was I

100
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 2: mean literally I worked with Jeff a couple weeks ago

101
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: and that was the first thing he said to me.

102
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: He's like, man, I really like that Hawaii number. Next week, Like, great,

103
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: look there it is. There's my lock. I'm living this

104
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 2: game like my son is playing in it right now.

105
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even know how else to put it.

106
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: And Hawaii Peace and Love might be the stupidest football

107
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: team I think I've ever watch this early in the season.

108
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: If I was Hawaii's athletic director, I might walk down

109
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: and fire Timmy Chang on the spot. Now they're not

110
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: getting much up for the officials, but that decision to

111
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: go for two. I understand it's kind of an analytics thing,

112
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: but when you're down, you're trying to.

113
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: Get to beat down. What was it fourteen at the point? Correct? Yes,

114
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: and they go for two. I mean, O kfake, what

115
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: do we even do going right?

116
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 3: Similar to Billy Napier's decision last night the other night

117
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: against the Utah when they went for two throughout down

118
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: twenty four to nine. I don't know what the chart says,

119
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: but I feel like at that point in time, probably

120
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 3: not the best time to go for two.

121
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: Thankfully for them, it worked out. It didn't making a difference.

122
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: It did, but I feel like at that point in

123
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: time of the game it probably was It probably wasn't

124
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: worth chasing an extra point at that point in time.

125
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 2: The guys were making fun of me back at the

126
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 2: Tiraq dot com studios because I was living and dying

127
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: every single one of these plays here in the fourth

128
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: quarter with seven twenty to go in the game, like

129
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: it was my mortgage that's on it, but it's it's

130
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: more than my mortgage, Ethan, it's more than my mortgage.

131
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: Mark.

132
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: It's freaking bragging rights, Okay, and right now I'm in

133
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: big trouble. I'm gonna put a goose egg up in

134
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: week one, partially because of one of the softest roughing

135
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: the passer penalties I've ever seen. Partially because every single

136
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 2: corner who commits p I never did anything, but mostly

137
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: because I don't think Hawaii's very good at football. Kfig

138
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: And maybe maybe here tonight I learned my lesson.

139
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: Well, Beby got teased a little bit with their failed comeback.

140
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: It's upting against Vandy last weekend. Maybe that's what it was,

141
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: right in the momentum on one bad team comes back

142
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: almost comes back against another one.

143
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: Oh, that's probably what it was. I understand. I had

144
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: heard yeah this right. And by the way, has all

145
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: like Stanford's all that good either.

146
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: No, they're not. They're they're not good. This might be

147
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: their they're one and only win for a while. I

148
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: guess my question is, how do you people do this?

149
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: How do you do this when you actually put real money?

150
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: I mean, how can you possibly have? I So I

151
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: have a radio show that's on during rush hour, so

152
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: I never have to deal with rush hour traffic.

153
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm always on the air.

154
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: Every now and then, you know, I'll either have a

155
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: day off or I'll flip a shift and I'll go

156
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: drive in rush hour traffic, and I think to myself,

157
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: how do you people do this?

158
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: Right?

159
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: I mean I would. It was the movie where the

160
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: guy Everything Could go wrong. I think Michael Douglas was

161
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: in it, and he ended up quitting his job, or

162
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: he got fired from his job and he went to

163
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: the he went to the fast food join and they

164
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: stopped serving breakfast literally five minutes after, and he's just

165
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: losing his mind. Right, That's kind of how I feel

166
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 2: whenever I'm driving in traffic that I never have to

167
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: deal with.

168
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: It's terrible.

169
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: But let's see he Michael Douglas Angry Man movie. Let's

170
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: see what do we get here?

171
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 4: Oh?

172
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: Falling down there? It is nineteen ninety three classic.

173
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: I'm like Michael Douglas and falling down watching people try

174
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: to drive. I feel like I'm even worse. And it's

175
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: just pride and some of y'all are throwing mega dolores

176
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: on the game. I don't know how you do it.

177
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: So we'll keep you up to date on this, kay,

Speaker 2: tonight on college football at the top of next hour,

180
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: at the top of next hour for the diehards and

181
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: even the casuals. Right, I live in flyover Country, Man.

182
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: I live in a market. I cover a team where

183
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: the expectation is national championships, where the expectations is ten

184
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: plus wins and a conference title game appearance every single year. Right,

185
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: I live in a town Norman, Oklahoma, where tonight is

186
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve.

187
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm Santa Claus.

188
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: Right, I am on the air leading up to Christmas morning,

189
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 2: and you're gonna wake up and under that tree is

190
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: gonna be Team one twenty nine, and you're gonna be

191
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: juiced out of your mind. It's the same feeling regardless

192
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: of wood they're playing in Tuscaloosa. It's the same feeling

193
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: in Athens, Georgia, Ohio, and Arbor, Michigan.

194
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: For the USC fans.

195
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: This is even though USA, I guess has already had

196
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: a game, but this is Christmas Eve. So coming up

197
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: at the top of next hour, k thing. I put

198
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: together the eight biggest storylines heading into this year, and

199
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't go to in depth. I didn't

200
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: statistically overanalyze things, but I also I also brought in

201
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: a little bit of the Yeah, most of us know

202
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: this for the casuals now not to the degree that

203
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: Larry McReynolds does when he talks to the casual NASCAR fan,

204
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: where it's like, you see here, this is the tire.

205
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: The tire goes round, it makes the car go.

206
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: We're not going that simplistic on this, but we are

207
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: going to dive into some of the low hanging fruit

208
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: storylines and things to keep an eye on coming up

209
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: at the top of next hour. We also have games

210
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 2: to preview, and we'll do that coming up here in

211
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: just a bit, including I guess, based on the way

212
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: that Fox is promoting this, apparently Dion is playing tomorrow.

213
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if you knew this, but apparently Deon

214
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: Sanders is suiting up and playing. Because the way that

215
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: they're promoting a college football game is by showing me

216
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 2: highlights of Deon Sanders playing in college Fox, our friends,

217
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: our family, What are we doing right now? So we'll

218
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: get to that coming up in just a bit, but

219
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: I want to take a moment to make sure that

220
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: we hit on all the non college football stuff that's

221
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: taking place tonight. As we come to you live from

222
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 2: the tyrack dot Com studios. K figures on updates, so

223
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: he'll be front and center as everything is a final

224
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: except this Hawaii Stanford game, which is pretty much a

225
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: final now is on a fourth and ten. This dope

226
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: at quarterback can at the very leaks throw it up.

227
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: Throw the damp ball up. It's fourth down, don't we're

228
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: taking a sack. Don't look up, Chris, don't look up?

229
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: What are we doing? Thirty to sixteen? Now I'm watching

230
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: on an app so it might the game might be

231
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: over by now. But seven o five to go in

232
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: the game thirty sixteen, Stanford incomplete control, about to start.

233
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 2: Want to know on the season, But let's hit the

234
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: other quick storylines from tonight and then it'll be a

235
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 2: NonStop all in college and.

236
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: Pro football show for the evening.

237
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: First of all, we take you to New York, where

238
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 2: the Yankees have not been a topic of conversation in

239
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: positive eyes all season long. Right, it's been bad. Once

240
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge got hurt, they were the worst team in

241
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 2: college foot got flogt me. They're one of the worst

242
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 2: teams in Major League Baseball, and apparently they finally started

243
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: to go with a youth movement. Apparently they finally decided

244
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: to shed some of their overpriced, high priced veterans who

245
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: aren't doing anything and said, now you know what, let's

246
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: go ahead and give our youngsters an opportunity.

247
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Oh one swing on a deep shot left field, moving

248
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: back alpareesku. He looks up and it is gone. Hold Run.

249
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: El Arciano announces his arrivals hold Run number one in the.

250
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: Big leagues for cheats and cominga Now for those that

251
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: aren't familiar, Jason Dominguez El Marciano also a Spanish for

252
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 2: the Martian. I just want to make sure you guys,

253
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: in case she didn't know me, being very fluent. The Martian,

254
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: in his very first played appearance, in his very first pitch,

255
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: hits a home run. Unbelievable, right, this is a multi

256
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: tool player out of the Dominican Republic finally gets that

257
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: opportunity and against Justin Verlander in his first pitch, goes yard.

258
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: So very cool moment, but also the magnification of what

259
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: or were we waiting for?

260
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: Yankees?

261
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: Why did it take all this time to finally bring

262
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: the marshal up.

263
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: The Yankees won the game six to two.

264
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: It's probably not a story for any other team, but

265
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: in Ellie de la Cruz and in Dominguez, these are

266
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: some of the young men in the minor leagues that

267
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 2: we've been waiting for to see that opportunity, and boy,

268
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: they're taking advantage of it right now. I mean Bobby

269
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: Witt Junior last year, whenever he came up for Kansas

270
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: aar was a two years ago. These are players that

271
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: have been talked about in minor league circles for a

272
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 2: long long time.

273
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: So that was awesome.

274
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 2: You might say, how in the world, Plank can you

275
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: lead with that if you're going to talk any Major

276
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: League Baseball and not talk about what's going on with

277
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: the Dodgers right now and one of the you know,

278
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: one of those matchups that we've been waiting for in

279
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and the Braves, well it's because the Dodgers lost. Okay,

280
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: and as a Dodger fan, I bury all bad news.

281
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: That's what we do. We had a meeting amongst the

282
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: Dodger fans within the media and we decided we are

283
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: bearing this. But I will say this much, I don't

284
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: know how anyone is going to take care of the

285
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: Braves whenever they keep doing this rich on the way

286
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: to Akunya, and this one explodes off as bad, high

287
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: in the air, deep center field.

288
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: That is gone, Ronald Tokunya. Another home run, and he's

289
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: out here in La just walking on water.

290
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty much that on Who gets married?

291
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: It's Grand Slam. Yesterday comes back today hits another home run.

292
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: The Braves beat the Dodgers in the much anticipated series

293
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: between these two teams sixty three. That is the fifth

294
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: rent win in a row for Atlanta. And I gotta

295
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: be honest, kay thing, I know you were watching this

296
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: closely tonight. I don't I don't know how you beat Atlanta.

297
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: I felt the same way about the Dodgers down the

298
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: stretch last year, and then San Diego shocks him in

299
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: the playoffs. But this just seems to be a team

300
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: that is as complete as they come. And even though

301
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have caught fire in the quote unquote second half,

302
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone's gonna have anything for him

303
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: in the playoffs.

304
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: Brewers, Dodgers, Cubs. Yeah, well, you know, Phillies. You know

305
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: who looked unbeatable this time last year, the Dodgers. The Dodgers.

306
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, one hundred elevencies like a complete team, and

307
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: all of a sudden they fall in the wildcard, toil

308
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: the a Padre team they've owned over the last well forever.

309
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: So I want to say, if you are a Dodger fan,

310
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: Corez another Dodger fans out there, don't give up hope.

311
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 3: Postseason is a new season, it's a new year.

312
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: The wildcard races are fantastic, Yes, absolutely fantastic. Right now,

313
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: you essentially with the Cubs, Giants, Diamondbacks, Red's heck, now

314
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: even the Marlins. You've got five teams that at worst

315
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: are within two games two games of a wild card spot,

316
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: and the Cubs, I guess what, the Cubs, and then

317
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: the Giants and the Diamondbacks are tied for that final

318
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: wild card spot. And in the American League, you know

319
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: a little bit more separation between the Blue Jays and

320
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: the Red Sox. But you can't be sleeping well if

321
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 2: you're a Rangers Astros fan right now, if there's no

322
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: such thing as a combination, but you give my point,

323
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: you can't be sleeping well if you're the one of

324
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: those teams so fun chases. I would now like to

325
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: say that a little bit after one eighteen am Central Time.

326
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 2: There is your baseball coverage for tonight. It's all football

327
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: from here on out. Peeps, Hey, I'm giving your heads out.

328
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: If you're a baseball guy, this might not be the

329
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 2: show for you tonight. I think that's as good as

330
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: we can do, all right. Now, don't get me wrong.

331
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: K figleab updates and I'm not trying to make anyone

332
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: angry tonight, but I'm just here to tell you it's

333
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: going to be a good two hours and forty five

334
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 2: minutes of NonStop college and pro football talk.

335
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: So just want to let you know. Don't look at

336
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 3: the Stanford score, all right. Just just avoid the Stanford

337
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 3: Hawaii game for the rest of the night, Okay.

338
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 2: Schwartz Man, I don't know what it is. Every game

339
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: I take any kind of advice from you. Absolutely I

340
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:48,600

345
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: time honored topic tradition of conference realignment has reared its

346
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 2: ugly head yet again, or beautiful head if you're a

347
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: fan of California, Stanford and SMU. But this, my friends,

348
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 2: is the most confused I've ever been in conference realignment

349
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 2: by an addition to a conference. I'll try to make

350
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: sense of it for you all next, right here on

351
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

352
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,960

356
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 2: All right in for Bernie Frado, I'm Chris Plank. I

357
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: am shocked. I'm not gonna lie. I am floored that

358
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 2: this slot was available. Knowing how much Bernie loves college football.

359
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 2: I was blown away that it was available to fill

360
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: in tonight and tomorrow night. So I'm sure it pain

361
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: Bernie not to be here, but he's getting rest, relaxation,

362
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: and uri energized for the NFL season. Kfiggs got updates

363
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: co hosting with me tonight, Ethan running the show, Mark

364
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: making sure I don't cuss on the air. This is

365
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio from the Tyrock dot Com studios. Now,

366
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: before we get to the acc news of the day

367
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: and then NonStop the games themselves a couple of quick tweets.

368
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: It's the best way to stay in touch with the show.

369
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 2: I don't think Ethan wants to deal with your drunken

370
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 2: phone calls tonight at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

371
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: So Twitter X makes it easy, Jeff Wrights real quick,

372
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 2: and then I'm ready for football talk. When the Braves

373
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: won the World Series, Kunya Junior was hurt and they

374
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 2: didn't have in the postseason, just say it what you got.

375
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: I gotta bring that up.

376
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 2: I gotta make this even more detrimental to those of

377
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: us who are fans of teams like the Dodgers or.

378
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: The Phillies, or the Cubs or the Brewers.

379
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 2: Sharon, the Atlanta Braves are still exacting revenge on Rob

380
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 2: Manfred and I'm here for it all the way to

381
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: the World Series. No what, and then Steve smoothly gets

382
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 2: us into the next segment. He writes, there is no

383
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 2: reason for me to follow Stanford football to Syracuse or

384
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: Tallahassee on a regular basis. Well, let's get this taken

385
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 2: care of.

386
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: K fig.

387
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: I gotta be I never thought this was gonna happen.

388
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 2: I never thought Stanford Cal, and then of course SMU,

389
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: who jumped in this conversation recently. I never thought there

390
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 2: was a chance that these three teams would end up anywhere,

391
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: but trying to rebuild the PAC twelve for Stanford and

392
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 2: col and the American Athletic Conference for SMU. So I

393
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 2: was blown away today whenever this became official. What was

394
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: your initial reaction to the true even though Oregon State

395
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 2: and who's left with them Washington to day State are

396
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: still fighting, what was the true death of the PAC twelve?

397
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: Were surprised to see these two editions plus SMU to

398
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 2: the ACC this morning.

399
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: Yes and no.

400
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 3: I mean you're surprised because one, it's the Atlantic Coast Conference.

401
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: You can't get any further from the Atlantic Coast and

402
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: Stanford and Cal. SMU sure in Texas, but it's pretty

403
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 3: ridiculous from a geographical standpoint. But just knowing where college

404
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 3: football is headed as a business, it makes all the

405
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 3: sense in the world that those three institutions want to

406
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: have a seat at the table once this thing ends

407
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 3: up expanding even more over the next I don't know,

408
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: six years, eight years, ten years, and being in the

409
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 3: position that they were currently in that just wasn't going

410
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 3: to happen. So if you're Stanford or your cow, you're

411
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: willing to take a hit financially. I mean, SMU is

412
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 3: not making any money for the next nine years in

413
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: this deal going to the ACC. But it's not about

414
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 3: the next nine years. It's about the next twenty years.

415
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: And if what ultimately people are speculating is going to happen,

416
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 3: it does end up happening, and we're gonna have some

417
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 3: sort of pseudo NFL like model with sixty five college

418
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: teams all vying in these you know, coastal conferences that

419
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 3: turns into one national conglomerate under one TV umbrella. If

420
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: you're Stanford, Cal and SMU, you just want to make

421
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 3: sure that you're you have a seat at that table,

422
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: and you're not going to have a seat at that table,

423
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 3: not residing inside of one of the four now not

424
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: Power five, one of the power four major conferences. So

425
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 3: this is why it's a long term play for them.

426
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: So that's why it does make sense. It's been a

427
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: wild roller coaster for the ACC. And two things to me,

428
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 3: I don't want to be too late on your update,

429
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 3: but in trying to make sense of the Atlantic.

430
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: Coast Conference, the ACC.

431
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: Atlantic coast, adding Stanford and cow who could be further

432
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 2: from the Atlantic coast. And yes, I know West Virginia

433
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: is in the Big twelve, and I understand that Oregon

434
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 2: and UCLA and USC and Washington are in the Big ten,

435
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: So geography doesn't make sense.

436
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,239
Speaker 1: The ACC.

437
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: Has been locked in a deal with the ESPN and

438
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: their grant of rights until I'm collecting Social Security. I mean,

439
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: it's going for a minute. And ESPN has been adamant,

440
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: vehement in there, I don't want to say unwillingness, but

441
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: they're not going back to the table to renegotiate. Oh

442
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 2: this is great, all these other TV deals, you know what,

443
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: you're in a deal. Sorry, we're not in the business

444
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: of saving the ACC. So to add teams that don't

445
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: add value blows my mind. But then you see that

446
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 2: SMU is in taking any payout for nine years, and

447
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: there is also a percentage for Stanford that they're getting

448
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 2: for a while. And then you add to it, imagine,

449
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: imagine making a move in the SEC that Alabama and

450
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 2: Georgia are against. Imagine making a move in the Big

451
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: ten that Ohio State and Michigan are against. The ACC

452
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: made a move that Florida State and Clemson voted no

453
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: on but I think that's smart. I don't get the

454
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: addition of the teams, but if there is one lesson,

455
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: we learned KFIG from the implosion of the Pac twelve

456
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: and maybe even to a certain extent, the implosion of

457
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: the Big twelve, which was able to rebuild and is

458
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 2: on solid footing. You can't just let one or two

459
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 2: teams dominate your conference. Now, it helps when other teams

460
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 2: step up and beat them, but you've got to have

461
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: a vision beyond just wanting to keep USC or keep

462
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: Texas or keep Alabama happy. And I don't know if

463
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: this is it, but if you believe the reports that

464
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: are out there and CA, you're much closer to it

465
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: than anyone. When USC was presented with the opportunity for

466
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: the Pac twelve to expand during the first implosion of

467
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: the Big twelve, USC shot it down. No, no, no, we

468
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 2: don't need to expand, not by any stretch of the imagination.

469
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: And then you know, less than a year later, they're

470
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: gone to the Big ten.

471
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: I think part of this move is made with the

472
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: understanding that Clemson and Florida State aren't long for the

473
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 2: ACC and Notre Dame wanted it, and I don't think

474
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's ever going to join their league as a

475
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 2: football playing member, but as long as they have them

476
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: in every other sport, I feel like the ACC is

477
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: happy with that. So there's a lot of moving parts there.

478
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 2: But I think k thing part of this is the

479
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: ACC saying, yeah, we probably know our future isn't with

480
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 2: Florida State and Clemson, so you guys saying no, it's

481
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 2: not necessarily going to stop us. And they flipped North Carolina,

482
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 2: who eventually voted yes on this.

483
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: Correct.

484
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, And when it comes to USC, you know, USC,

485
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: I think indifferent might be the wrong word to use,

486
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 3: but they certainly weren't banging against the table of adding.

487
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: And you're talking about out way back in twenty eleven,

488
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 3: I'm assuming when we're talking about having the PAC sixteen

489
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 3: with Oklahoma.

490
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, yes, yes, Now they were in

491
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: favor of that. They were yes because it was Stanford

492
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: that imploded that one.

493
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: Right if Stanford and in Texas, to be honest with you,

494
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 2: well that's the Longhorn Network held. But Stanford said because Oklahoma,

495
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: Texas and a lot of the schools didn't meet the

496
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: academic standards of the PAC twelve or the PAC ten

497
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: at the time, they did want to bring those schools in.

498
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 2: So really Stanford has no one to blame about themselves

499
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 2: because if that happened back then, Pack ten PAC sixteen

500
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: would have been the first super conference and it began

501
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: all the dominoes falling. Now a decade ago, so this

502
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 2: would have been twenty one, right when Oaklhom and Texas

503
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: left for the SEC. Yes, the theory was that at

504
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: that time, who was that.

505
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: Still Larry Scott? It was still Larry Scott. Correct Woolke

506
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: tried to do something good.

507
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 2: Whenever they went with the idea of hay, let's go

508
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 2: get some of these big twelve teams, USC was like, no,

509
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 2: we don't need to expand. And sometimes you can't listen

510
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: to your bread winners. You got to go outside the box.

511
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: Part of this might be might be a little bit

512
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: more of a by cheap from the ACC, but we

513
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 2: now have three teams of the ACC that couldn't be

514
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 2: further from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

515
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if you remember briefly, and this

516
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 3: may have been about a decade ago when San Diego

517
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 3: State was going to join the Big East in football only,

518
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: and they were members for about a month and a half.

519
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: Hopefully they pulled out. There's like, how dumb it, This

520
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: makes no sense. It's the stupidest thing ever. TCU was

521
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: part of that too, That's why they certainly were.

522
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: There's all our non game stories in college footballs who

523
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 2: were brought to you by Discover. At the end of

524
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: your first year, Discover credit cards automatically double all the

525
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: cash back you've earned. That's right, everything you've earned double. Seriously,

526
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: see terms and check it out for yourself. Discover dot

527
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 2: com slash match. We'll it work for Dion. We'll talk

528
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 2: about it, but first k fig is in the house

529
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 2: to get as scot up on everything in the.

530
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: World of sports. Kevin Figures taken away.

531
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: All right, Chris, Well, we still have one game in

532
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 3: progress in college football, Stanford a thirty seven to twenty

533
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 3: four lead over Hawaii. Now, the Rainbow Warriors just kicked

534
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: a onsite kick that I believe just bounced out of bounce,

535
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 3: so the ball is gonna go back to the Cardinal

536
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 3: with about a minute eight left. I'm sorry, Chris, that's okay, Yeah,

537
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 3: but it's just pride.

538
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: It's just pride is what it is. I understand. We'll

539
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 1: see you at Liasa. Not any lighter in the wallet

540
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: for it. So Lisa does sing You're there. That is true.

541
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: The Cardinal, as we mentioned a second ago, along with

542
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 3: a former now Pack twelve mates Cal and SMU, will

543
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 3: be the newest members of the ACC beginning next season.

544
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 3: Earlier Friday night, in ACC Action, you at Louisville beating

545
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech thirty nine to thirty four. The Miami Hurricanes

546
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 3: dominating Miami of Ohio wins for Kansas and Michigan State

547
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 3: as well. Major League Baseball, Max Freez struck out ten

548
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 3: and seven innings of work, leading at lant In to

549
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: their second straight victory over the Dodgers in Los Angeles,

550
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 3: a six to three final there, Padres over the Giants

551
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 3: seven to three, Arizona outlasting Baltimore four to two, so

552
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 3: San Francisco and the Dbacks are tied for the final

553
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 3: National League wildcard spot. Both Seattle and Houston loss, they

554
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: remain tied atop the AO West, and Novak Djokovic advanced

555
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: to the round of sixteen at the US Open despite

556
00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: losing the first two sets.

557
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: Laslo Zira all right back to Chris Plank.

558
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: All right, we come to you live from the Tirack

559
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,320

00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: Radio and for Bernie Fratto, I'm Chris playing. Get involved

561
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 2: in the show on Twitter at Plank Show at Fox

562
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, and of course I guess people can still

563
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: call at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight

564
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: seven seven nine ninety six six three six nine.

565
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: All Right, we got a full slate of games tomorrow.

566
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: We've already had, well, this game is over between Hawaii

567
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: and Stanford, not officially, but it's officially, it's essentially over.

568
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: We had twenty four games already in the books.

569
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 2: So before we dive into Dion, before we dive into

570
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 2: our storylines, what do you feel like, k fake, I've

571
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: got three things here through the first twenty four games.

572
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: Is there anything that's really jumped out that you've learned,

573
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: if it's a team, if it's I don't know it

574
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: an angle.

575
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: Or a player.

576
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 2: What's really kind of caught your eye or stood out

577
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: to you through the first twenty four games?

578
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 3: Anything, Well, a couple of things. Florida's about as bad

579
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: as I thought they'd be. Offensive quarterback, Yes, yes, yes,

580
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 3: I looked about as I thought it would look. And

581
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: so far, I know it's only one game and they

582
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: have a lot of transfer players, but that USC defense

583
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 3: doesn't look any I owed it better than they did

584
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: last season, and that's a concern.

585
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So you hit two things that I have on

586
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: my three things here on my list, and you know

587
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: one of those. One of those is how knee jerky

588
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 2: we are. And I get it. Listen, I'm I'm not

589
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: saying there's anything wrong with it. It's what sports radio

590
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: is about. College football has the longest offseason and the

591
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: shortest regular season of any sport. I mean the NFL

592
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 2: even has a longer regular season into the playoffs. College

593
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: football it's like, Okay, we're done, see you later, bye,

594
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: January done, peace out.

595
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: So I.

596
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: Embrace every moment. I love the overreaction. I think it's fantastic.

597
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: But there were two things from last week, and we'll

598
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 2: see how USC looks this week. But we know Capleb

599
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: Williams is still that dude. But that defense is still

600
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: really bad. And like you said, it's time a little

601
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: bit of a different philosophy, it seems with some of

602
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: the defensive linemen and the interior defensive lineman that they

603
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: brought in. So I'm I'm willing to give a little

604
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: grace period here while USC goes through the easy part

605
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: of their schedule. K fig those last six games brutal.

606
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 2: You better have this defense ready.

607
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: Well.

608
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: The good thing is the easy part of the schedule

609
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: is the first month and a half some right, they

610
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 3: have a wow to put it together.

611
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: You got cupcake after cupcake? Absolutely number two. Why do

612
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: we do this all the time? Whenever a quarterback is

613
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: bad in one place and he goes somewhere else, he

614
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: doesn't magically get better. Graham Mertz was not good at

615
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 2: Wisconsin just because he goes to Florida, all of a sudden,

616
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 2: he's not amazing. And yet it'll be Bill Napier's working wonders,

617
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: It's gonna be amazing.

618
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: No, Florida's bad.

619
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 2: I mean, they're building, but Florida has those same expectations

620
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 2: as a fan base as Alabama, as George. They're not

621
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: quite a blue blood, but they sure as Heller, their

622
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: fans have that mindset, and I think that's great.

623
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: Embrace it. That's unacceptable.

624
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: You shouldn't get the absolute dog kicked out of you

625
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: at Utah, even though Utah is a good team whenever

626
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: the youths have their backup quarterback and what some of

627
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: their best alignment were out for the game too, and.

628
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 3: Their best offensive weapon, Keithy the tight end didn't play ding.

629
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: Ding ding and they it wasn't even close. Yep, it

630
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: was a blowout.

631
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: Here's the third thing, and I feel like we're still

632
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 2: figuring it out. I've heard Bernie talk about this before.

633
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: I still don't think we know exactly how the new

634
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: clock rules are going to affect college football in the

635
00:32:59,400 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: long run.

636
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: Just I know, I know there have been some.

637
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: That have immediately said, oh, it's killing the unders, it's

638
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: killing the overs, It's it's not good.

639
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: It's been the game up too much. Okay.

640
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 2: I feel like we still have a very small sample

641
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 2: size with just you know, twenty four games. I feel

642
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 2: like the game's moving, Okay. I don't feel like it's

643
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 2: necessarily been detrimental. We haven't really had a nail bier yet, kfig.

644
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: But a lot of people our teams are gonna go

645
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: three yards in a cloud of dust and Alabama's just

646
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: gonna sit on the ball and run it down people's throats. Maybe,

647
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: but from what I've seen so far, Kevin, I don't

648
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 2: know if I can really have a hot take or

649
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: even a good take on how they're affecting the games.

650
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: Seemed like the first quarter of that Notre Dame Navy

651
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: game flew by, But every game I've ever watched Navy

652
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 2: play flies by, right, So I'm not ready to make

653
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: some sort of bombastic claim yet.

654
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: But it is.

655
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: Different, right, It is different when that clock's not stopping

656
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: it every first down.

657
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 3: And I will say, like the Utah Florida game that

658
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 3: gave went by relatively fast. I think it was just

659
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 3: over three hours, which is pretty unheard of when it

660
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 3: comes to modern.

661
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 1: Day college football.

662
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 3: One thing that I think it will affect one conference

663
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 3: in particular is one that you cover on a daily basis,

664
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 3: because we know in the Big Twelve, so many high

665
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 3: scoring offenses, so many comebacks, and those comebacks are fueled

666
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 3: by the fact that the game would stop, the clock

667
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 3: would stop after first down while the sticks are being reset.

668
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 3: And now that they're not doing that this year, you know,

669
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 3: you don't have as much time to be able to

670
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 3: come back. So I wonder if we're going to see

671
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 3: a fewer amount of epic comebacks because you always have

672
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 3: a couple, at least a couple per season.

673
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: Somebody's down twenty one to twenty eight points. I just

674
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: wonder if teams are just going to have the amount

675
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: of time to be able to do that.

676
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 2: Now, by the way, in that Hawaii Stanford game, that

677
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 2: fourth and goal touchdown that Hawaii scored, Yes, Cash is

678
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: the over look at you that matter to me? I

679
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 2: had Hawaii the point. And when we come back to

680
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: the tyrack dot com studios, let's start diving into some

681
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 2: of the storylines that didn't quite make our list. Right,

682
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 2: there's a few things to watch today, I guess now

683
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 2: in the Central and Eastern time zone Mountain time zone

684
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 2: that maybe aren't necessarily star studded storylines.

685
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: We'll hit him next on Fox Sports Radio.

705
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: I were coming to you from the tiraq dot com

706
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 2: studios in for Bernie Fratto. I'm Chris Plank. Good tweets

707
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 2: hit a few more of those as the show rolls on.

708
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: I've got a Kevin, I got a whole segment on Dion,

709
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I don't know if people really

710
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 2: understand how bad this could potentially be for Coach Prime

711
00:36:58,960 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: in Colorado.

712
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: Why I would be bad. It's not like they have

713
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: like seventy new players on the roster. What do you

714
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: mean we'll get the back tell me up here in

715
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 1: just a bit.

716
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 2: So I've got a couple of under the radar, non

717
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 2: casual storylines.

718
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: In other words, these.

719
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: Are the complete and total nerd in you as a

720
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 2: college football fan angles that I think are gonna be

721
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 2: fun to watch this year. First, y'all realize, Bobby Patrino

722
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 2: is back, right. Patrino is the offensive coordinator for Texas

723
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 2: A and M. When last you saw Bobby Patrino, for

724
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 2: some of you, he was falling off a motorcycle with

725
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: his girlfriend and showing up at a press conference in

726
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 2: a neck brace and trying to make it seem to

727
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: everybody like all is well, which actually.

728
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: Which is funny. You know that story broke on April fools.

729
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: What he is back?

730
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 2: He is the offensive coordinator at Texas A and M.

731
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 2: Texas A and M. If I could give you an

732
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: NFL comparison, who would be a team that has all

733
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: the talent in the world but never meets expectations in

734
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 2: the NFL, that's Texas A and M. They're kind of

735
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: like the Yankees, right, They got all the ballers, they

736
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 2: got everyone they paid for legedly, and yet they can't

737
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 2: get over the hump.

738
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: This is another one of those years, and I love it.

739
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 2: I love it because I think Texas A and M

740
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: fans are my kind of crazy.

741
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: I love them.

742
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,959
Speaker 2: They don't play, they don't play a big season opening game.

743
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 2: You're not going to be glued to your TV to

744
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 2: see what's A and M gonna do against New Mexico.

745
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 2: But next week they go to Miami to play the Hurricanes.

746
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: Last year, I think A and M was an underdog

747
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,439
Speaker 2: in that game in Miami. They smoked them. They beat

748
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 2: them after Miami had kind of started hot last year

749
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 2: and then the bottom fell out. So Texas A and

750
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 2: M all the talent in the world, is this the

751
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: year that they put it together? Because if you talk

752
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 2: about hot seats in college football, Kevin, even with his contract,

753
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 2: that's one of the hottest seats in college football right now.

754
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: With Jimbo Fisher, oh easily.

755
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 3: You and I talked about this maybe about a month

756
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 3: and a half ago on the show about some of

757
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 3: the big storylines in college football heading into the season,

758
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 3: and I thought this is one of the biggest. You know,

759
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 3: first of all screams desperation that Jimbo would bring Bobby

760
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 3: Patrino win. He's to Alpha Males. I just want to

761
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 3: see the drama of how that whole thing's going to

762
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 3: play out. But it tells you how much he thinks

763
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 3: he's on the edge that he would make a move

764
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 3: like that.

765
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, absolutely, one hundred percent.

766
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: And it'll add you know, it's never a fun conversation

767
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 2: whenever we're starting the season and I'm already laying out

768
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 2: oh the hot seat. But to me, I think this

769
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 2: is going to be a fascinating year to see what

770
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 2: coaching movement looks like afterwards. Will an NFL team make

771
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 2: a godfather offer to Lincoln Riley? Is with USC going

772
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: to the Big ten? Not really something I think Lincoln

773
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 2: was on when he took the job. My theory, Jim

774
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: Harbaugh not happy right with everything that's going on. We

775
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 2: just mentioned Texas, A and M. Things aren't necessarily going

776
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 2: well there. What if Texas implodes? What if Texas doesn't

777
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 2: meet expectations this year?

778
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: Right?

779
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 2: And you look get teams that are expected to be

780
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 2: big time players if they're not, Like James Franklin, isn't

781
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: going anywhere. But that seat starts to warm up. If

782
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 2: they can't meet expectations with this roster. So k fig

783
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: to me, I know we only got a minute, but

784
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 2: under the radar, Mel Tucker, I think this could be

785
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 2: a wild year for coaching moves.

786
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm right there with you.

787
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 3: And the Lincoln Riley thing is interesting because he all

788
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 3: thought he was or many people thought he was cutting

789
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 3: and running knowing that Oklahoma was going to the SEC.

790
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 3: To your point, I don't think he's anticipated having to

791
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 3: sign up for a big twelve stant just two years

792
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 3: into his job at USC.

793
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 2: That flew by, all right one hour in. Now, when

794
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 2: we come back, I've got some coach Prime. I've got

795
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 2: a full slate preview and a few NFL notes including

796
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 2: I don't know why Travis Kelcey begging Chris Jones to

797
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: come back triggered me, but it did. We'll dive it

798
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 2: into it all next. That's Kevin Figures. I'm Chris plank

Speaker 2: can't sleep. Man, it's college football. I mean, I didn't

805
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 2: clear it with Doug to make sure it's okay to

806
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 2: treat this like a holiday. But it's like Christmas Eve

807
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,279

813
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: has passed away. Now I'm not a big music guy.

814
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, man, the extent of my music

815
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 2: library whenever I was a kid was two Live Crew

816
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 2: in wa Easy. I wasn't listening to Jimmy Buffett, nor

817
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 2: was my family. But as I got older, I had

818
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: a lot of friends. It did, I mean an incredible musician.

819
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 2: But Jimmy Buffett passed away tonight. According to a tweet

820
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 2: from his family, Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night

821
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 2: of September feet, surrounded by his family, friends, music, and dogs.

822
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 2: He lived his life like a song till the very

823
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 2: last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.

824
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 2: That is an absolute music icon. Every time you've had

825
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 2: a drink or two, you've probably sang Marguerite Deville. And

826
00:42:54,160 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 2: if I remember, I think, I think Jimmy. Jimmy Buffett

827
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 2: was a die hard sports fan and he created this

828
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 2: absolute empire over the last decade with Margueritaville. He brought Margaarite,

829
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 2: not just the song, but he had created this. You

830
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 2: see it in some casinos. But I was looking back

831
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 2: on a story where he would take Margueritaville to minor

832
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 2: league parks theme nights. NHL teams did it, and Margueritaville

833
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 2: would basically just be a big party. Seventy two years

834
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 2: old at the time whenever he started doing it. That

835
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,320
Speaker 2: they shared here in this athletics story that one of

836
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: the most successful examples of Margueritaville theme night was in

837
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 2: Saint Louis, where the Cardinals sell five thousand tickets to

838
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 2: Parrot to parroent heads that basically showed up to a

839
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 2: game they wouldn't necessarily go watch, and they do it

840
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 2: to celebrate Jimmy Buffett Man sad story tonight, So Rip

841
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 2: to a true legend, Jimmy Buffet. We will honor his

842
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 2: legacy by talking non stop football over the next two

843
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 2: hours here on Fox Sports Radios. So what I did,

844
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 2: Kevin figures, is I put together a list of the

845
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 2: eight biggest storylines in college football this season. I don't

846
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 2: know why I stopped at eight, but it cracked me

847
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 2: up that for some reason, when I got to eight,

848
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 2: I felt, all right, dude, if you don't stop at eight,

849
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: you're gonna have twenty four on here, and then people

850
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 2: are gonna be like, plank, why are we talking about

851
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 2: Jackson Arnold with story number sixteen?

852
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: Well, you know, with you being an ou guy, I

853
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: thought it was just an ode to the old Big

854
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: Eight conference. That's kind of what I thought. Good.

855
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 2: That's good. Now I'm here to tell you right now.

856
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you right now if things go south.

857
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 2: Usually I have this rule when I'm sitting in on

858
00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 2: the overnights.

859
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: Usually it's forbid.

860
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 2: But you know, the Fratto fanatics are starting to get

861
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 2: a little Mallard militia right starting to get a little

862
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 2: Mallard militia in them, and I love it. But I

863
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 2: usually have the I've got a four pack. The choice

864
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 2: of cold beer tonight would be Paps Blue Ribbon. Right,

865
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: I got a four pack, and if things go well early,

866
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 2: we'll put it back in the fridge and save it

867
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 2: for a good time. If things go poorly, then that's

868
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 2: gonna be our show fluid for the evening. That's not

869
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 2: the case here this evening because I gotta work tomorrow.

870
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 2: Aren't you working now? It's the overnight, peeps, I gotta

871
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 2: get on your level.

872
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: Okay, But.

873
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 2: If this thing goes south, we will turn this in

874
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,479
Speaker 2: to Oklahoma Sooner football talk. I'm not I'm just telling

875
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 2: you right now. It'll be NonStop. We'll talk depth charts.

876
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 2: We'll get into the big fight over who's the number

877
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 2: one running back on the depth chart. It'll be on

878
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 2: for three hours hours tonight. But no, here is my

879
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: list that I came up with, and there's a few

880
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 2: things that Ka Fig and I will go a little

881
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 2: bit more in depth on as the show progresses, but

882
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 2: just quick hit a few of these here in the

883
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 2: first segment. Okay, I'm being very dramatic with number one,

884
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 2: and I hear this said a lot, so I'm not

885
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 2: trying to break any news here. None of these if

886
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 2: you're a direed college football fan. You've heard all of these, right,

887
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 2: Maybe we can dig.

888
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: A little deeper.

889
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,720
Speaker 2: But number one, it's the final year of college football

890
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 2: as we know it.

891
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: It really truly is.

892
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 2: It's twenty twenty four will be a completely different world.

893
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four will feature a twelve team playoff. Twenty

894
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 2: twenty four will feature I mean, are you believing that

895
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 2: something can happen to save the Pack twelve? Kevin, No,

896
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 2: it's dead.

897
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

898
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 3: So this report, I think Brett McMurphy had the report

899
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 3: that Oregon State and Washington State have hope of disbanding

900
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 3: the Mountain West and bringing them to.

901
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 1: The Back twelve.

902
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 3: Who is the power team that makes them still a

903
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 3: POWERFY conference even if that were to happen.

904
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we doing, san Diego State?

905
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, okay, they might end up being in

906
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 2: a better spot as would a Boise or anyone right

907
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 2: now in the conference they're currently in. Yeah, so we

908
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,760
Speaker 2: are all right, We're going Southwest Conference on the PAC twelve,

909
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 2: which is which is a whole I mean, I'm not

910
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 2: trying to get too carried away here, but the fact

911
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 2: that several teams I saw our buddy Jeff Harner had

912
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 2: brought Yeah, you know, the ESPN offered him thirty mil.

913
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 2: The President's wanted fifty. That it's ridiculous, right looking back.

914
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 2: But even the fact that all but two teams went

915
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 2: to other conferences for about the same amount of moneys

916
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 2: and even much less, obviously in desperation for Stanford and

917
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 2: cow how you couldn't come up with a package to

918
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 2: keep them all together is mind blowing to me.

919
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,439
Speaker 1: Mind blowing. But listen, that's how we're talkingalking about.

920
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 2: We're just bringing up the fact that in twenty four,

921
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 2: it's a completely new world, new big ten, new SEC,

922
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 2: new big twelve. K think the whole setup of Oklahoma's

923
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 2: playing Alabama, us C, what they got Ohio State. You

924
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 2: just you have all these games that you kind of oh,

925
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see him at some point in life,

926
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 2: that are gonna happen on a fairly regular occasion. Twenty

927
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 2: four happens to be the first step. And here's the unknown.

928
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 2: What will the twelve team playoff look like? Well we

929
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 2: don't we still don't know what norks me on. But

930
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 2: what will the twelve team playoff look like? Is it

931
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 2: gonna be? Are they gonna say, let's keep it like

932
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 2: it is, six automatic qualifiers, six six at large teams,

933
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 2: or you know, I feel like they have to adjust

934
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 2: it without the PAC twelve, so at least five automatic,

935
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,439
Speaker 2: seven at large, or maybe you go the Greg Sank

936
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 2: way and like, let's just make it all at large.

937
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 3: I'm sure, yeah, I'm sure he'd love that. Hey, let's

938
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 3: get seven eight SEC teams in there. That's why I

939
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 3: say he wants that. That's not going to happen. I

940
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 3: don't think the other conference would sign off on that.

941
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: I think you're right.

942
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 3: So to your point, I think we're going to go

943
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 3: to the five automatic qualifiers and the seven at largest.

944
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 1: I think that makes the most sense.

945
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 2: All right, Number two, And I want to hit this

946
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 2: quick because I do want to spend more time on Dion.

947
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 2: Coach Prime, will it work in Colorado? It's an historic

948
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 2: roster turnover. I mean, unlike anything we have ever seen.

949
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 2: Fifty one players in the transfer portal, forty six of

950
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 2: those after Dion left. No team in college football had

951
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 2: more than twenty nine players enter the transfer portal.

952
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: It is, and it's been.

953
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 2: Very public, right because Coach Prime's made it public because

954
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 2: that's his way, and I got no problem with it,

955
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 2: but as a general thought, it's a tough schedule. They

956
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 2: open up against the defending national runner up TCU, who

957
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 2: breaking news is still good yep, And their first two

958
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,720
Speaker 2: games are at ten am local tie, which is still

959
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 2: wild to me. But just on the outset k fig

960
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 2: that looked like Travis Hunter, Shador Sanders fantastic.

961
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,439
Speaker 1: Sure it looks like that's about it for Colorado this year.

962
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough sledding, and they look they got some

963
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 3: talented guys to transfer in from Power five programs. But

964
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 3: it's just the lots I have to put together in

965
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 3: a relatively short period of time. So I think Dion's

966
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 3: gonna do a great job eventually. The problem is with

967
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 3: all the hype train and you mentioned earlier. You know,

968
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 3: our friends at Fox just doing this hype video. They're

969
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 3: not even showing Shador Sanders. I'm not showing any of

970
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 3: the players. They're showing highlights of Deon Sanders at Florida State.

971
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 3: Like last time I checked, Dion's not playing today.

972
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you. It is probably as

973
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: triggered as I've ever been watching a promo.

974
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean and again that that was the magnification

975
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 2: that I am an old man. But it's showing Dion

976
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 2: high step in whenever he was at Florida State, Dallas

977
00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 2: and Atlanta, and in my I'm like, what what what

978
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 2: are we doing right now?

979
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: Fs Fox Sports.

980
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 2: He's he's the one that's even trying to say it's

981
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 2: not about him, but.

982
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: Then I don't know him. Well, that's the first thing.

983
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 2: But I'm with you. I'm fascinated because it is so unique.

984
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 2: I don't think some some coaches have taken a shot.

985
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 2: Renvinables was, in my opinion, falsely accused of taking a

986
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 2: shot because he was just stating a fact. He's like, listen,

987
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,919
Speaker 2: Dion booted guys. I gave guys a year. It worked

988
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 2: for some, it didn't for others. Dion did not give

989
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 2: guys a year.

990
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: Now. Colorado was terrible last year. Yep.

991
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 2: But when you sit down with a dude and you

992
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 2: say you're not going to have a spot here, that's cool.

993
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm bringing my luggage with me and as Louis, y'all

994
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 1: and y'all, ain't it. That's that's tough. At day one,

995
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: when you meet a team.

996
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 2: One of the most amazing lines averaged all right, another

997
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 2: big storyline, three, pete, we have not had a three

998
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: peat in a minute. Minnesota and Yale are the only

999
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 2: teams to win three straight undisputed titles, which is incredible, right,

1000
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 2: and in fact, for let's see, when was it from Minnesota?

1001
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: It was in the thirties, right, if I heard right,

1002
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: you were right? Yeah, thirty four, thirty five, thirty six, insane. Right,

1003
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: it's been done.

1004
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 2: Let's see one, two, four other times, but all of

1005
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 2: those are in the twenties, and a couple of them

1006
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 2: are co champions.

1007
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: Yale did it in.

1008
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 2: Eighteen eighty six, eighteen eighty seven, and eighteen eighty eight.

1009
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 1: In other words, it's hard.

1010
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 2: But here's Georgia right, as tumultuous of an offseason as

1011
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 2: a two time defending champ can have. Right, Yep, you

1012
00:52:56,120 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 2: had the terrible tragedy during their celebration where they lost

1013
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 2: staffer and they lost a player to a car wreck.

1014
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 2: You had the constant driving traffic issues, right, dude, speeding,

1015
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 2: You had I mean a battle with the Atlanta Journal

1016
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 2: Constitution that it looks like Georgia one, and then lo

1017
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 2: and behold, you still had a bunch of dudes that

1018
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 2: got drafted on draft day. Hey, Kevin, you look at

1019
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 2: that roster and it's still just dude after dude after dude,

1020
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 2: five star after five star after five star. So Georgia

1021
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 2: going for a three pet with the new starting quarterback.

1022
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 2: I just think it's it's so simple to say, oh,

1023
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:40,280
Speaker 2: they're going for three in a row. But I don't

1024
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 2: know if we really have embraced how hard that is.

1025
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 2: Because we see Alabama and we see Clemson and we

1026
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 2: see Ohio State consistently in these four team playoffs.

1027
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: We don't see him win.

1028
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 2: And I don't think people realize just how tough it

1029
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 2: is to go out and win.

1030
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:54,760
Speaker 1: A year and a year out like Georgia.

1031
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 5: Ha.

1032
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing. The fact that Kirby he's eating

1033
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,040
Speaker 3: on Saban's watch, you know you. I'm think anybody it

1034
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 3: would be able to do this and say look, and

1035
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 3: people are expecting Alabama to have sort of a half

1036
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 3: step back, whatever that means for.

1037
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: Their program this year.

1038
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 3: They're still gonna be great despite their quarterback issues. The

1039
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 3: big thing for Georgia, even if they didn't have all

1040
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 3: this talent coming back on their roster, look at their schedule.

1041
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 3: I mean, you talk about the easiest walkover schedule for

1042
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 3: a defending, two time defending national champion. They got the

1043
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 3: luck of the draw this year. They don't see Alabama,

1044
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 3: you know, they don't see LSU. Their toughest matchups are

1045
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 3: at the very end of the season. They host Ole

1046
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 3: Miss and they go on the road at Tennessee. But

1047
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 3: before that, it's, as our former colleague Tom Looney would say,

1048
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 3: you know, tiptop tiptoe to the Tulips.

1049
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty easy. It is.

1050
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 3: It's I'm real, UAB auburns down. What's Kentucky gonna be?

1051
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt is Vanderbilt. We talked about Florida earlier. They're terrible.

1052
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 3: It's I mean, it's a lot of nothing.

1053
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 2: It's funny that you bring up Florida because for Georgia

1054
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 2: that was viewed as one of their more challenging matchups.

1055
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: I think, wow, Georgia Oop.

1056
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, nope, all right, number four you mentioned it Alabama.

1057
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 2: The quarterback question at Alabama. Nick Saban hasn't even released

1058
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 2: a depth chart.

1059
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: It's such a joke, which is hilarious depth chart thing.

1060
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 2: And many think, many think that Alabama is one of

1061
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 2: the teams that's going to take advantage of the new

1062
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 2: clock rules the most, and maybe that Nick Saban had

1063
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 2: always wanted to maybe reel back that bubble screen, that

1064
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 2: constant throwing. I mean, you got Bryce Young throwing fifty

1065
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 2: plus times a game. Now Tommy Reese comes in as

1066
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 2: their offensive coordinator, Jalen Milroe is going to be the starter.

1067
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 2: I heard this today and I thought it was an

1068
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 2: interesting take. If if Tyler Buckner had not transferred in

1069
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 2: from Notre Dame, I don't know if people would be freaking.

1070
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 1: Out like they are about the quarterback situation.

1071
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 2: Because the grad transfer came in after the spring game,

1072
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 2: didn't take part in the spring. I think a lot

1073
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 2: of people like what's going on. They obviously don't have

1074
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 2: a quarterback. If it had just been Milrow and Simpson,

1075
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 2: Simpson's five star guy. I think Milrose a four or

1076
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 2: five star guy too. He had been committed to Texas

1077
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 2: before I went to Alabama. I don't think people would

1078
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 2: be freaking out. And it's wild to think that they've

1079
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 2: won eleven games consistently and the question is, well, what's

1080
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 2: wrong with Nick Saban?

1081
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 1: What's going on there? Believed about those expectations, right? No?

1082
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: Say all right?

1083
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 2: Number four on my number five on the list. Okay, Fike,

1084
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 2: this might take you and I dig in a little bit.

1085
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 2: Is there a team that could come from nowhere like

1086
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 2: TCU did last year and essentially Cincinnati did the year before.

1087
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: That's number five on my list now, I think since

1088
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 2: he was preseason ranked in twenty one when they made

1089
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 2: their run, TCU was not in twenty two. Hey, you

1090
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 2: can go back to twenty one. Michigan wasn't ranked in

1091
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 2: the preseason when they made their run to the four

1092
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 2: team playoff. So I was trying to find some unranked teams,

1093
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 2: and you know, no one really jumped out at me.

1094
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna lie and sit here and tell

1095
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 2: you guys, I saw something in TCU last year like

1096
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 2: look out for the horn Frogs.

1097
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: No, no, not at all, not at all.

1098
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 3: And by the way, in twenty one Cincinnati, I just

1099
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,239
Speaker 3: looked there were eighth eighth going into the season, so

1100
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 3: they had a little bit of help with a good start.

1101
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 2: So maybe saying off the radar isn't fair under the radar,

1102
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 2: but they did break that glass ceiling.

1103
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah. A lot of people like Texas Tech this year.

1104
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: I like Texas Tech.

1105
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 2: People are trying to build up South carolineup to potentially

1106
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 2: make a run.

1107
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 3: But people love Spencer Ratler and say he has a

1108
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 3: chip on his shoulder, and he did in the year

1109
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 3: well last year for them, so maybe there's something there.

1110
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: I know, I know that's a sore spot, you know what.

1111
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 2: Actually, let's talk about Spencer Ratler at the bottom of

1112
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 2: the hour. Okay, I'm writing that down so I can

1113
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 2: I can give my unabashed defense Spencer. I don't know

1114
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 2: who it is, but we've had at the very least.

1115
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 2: If you don't want to say Cincinnati was a sleeper

1116
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 2: team two years ago, Michigan definitely was absolutely number six.

1117
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: Is Texas back? Now?

1118
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 2: You might say I've heard this before, you know what,

1119
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 2: you would be right. This seems to be a constant

1120
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 2: theme year in and year out. And even though this

1121
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 2: team went five and seven and then what eight and four? Now,

1122
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,800
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, all is fixed with quinn Ewers.

1123
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 2: All is right with the world and Texas is back

1124
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 2: and they're the unanimous pick to win the Big Twelve

1125
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 2: and many think they're playoff bound.

1126
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 3: Well, don't you get just real vibes like when Charlie

1127
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 3: Weiss almost beat usc and he got the giant contract

1128
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 3: and people were all excited and then that fizzled out.

1129
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: Don't you kind of feel the.

1130
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 3: Same way about the Alabama game last year when they

1131
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 3: almost beat Alabama. Peer was like, oh man, wait until

1132
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 3: next year with Texas? Well, next year is here Sark

1133
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 3: and QUINNI ewrs, let's see what you got? What you got?

1134
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 3: Number seven? Could we have even more history?

1135
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 2: I if the Heightsman voters aren't going to be that

1136
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 2: guy Caleb Williams is again going to be in the mix.

1137
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 2: Archie Griffin did it in seventy four and seventy five.

1138
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 2: No one has matched that. No one has been able

1139
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 2: to do it in back back years. Kfig, I know that.

1140
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 2: I feel like the Heisman voters or there's so many

1141
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 2: Heightsman voters. I don't even know if I can say it,

1142
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 2: but the Heisman trust, the feeling is all right. If

1143
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 2: you win it once, there's just no way you can

1144
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 2: win it again. I don't know about you. I think

1145
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 2: Caleb william is going to be right in this mix.

1146
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 2: He'll be in the mix, and I think he'll get

1147
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 2: the invite.

1148
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 3: The problem is you just have to be so astoundingly

1149
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 3: spectacular to win it at back to back years. I

1150
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 3: just don't know if anybody can be able to do

1151
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 3: that at this point. Like, I mean, yeah, a phenomenal

1152
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 3: year last year, What does he have to do this year?

1153
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 3: Five thousand dollars, sixty five touchdowns. I'm not saying he

1154
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 3: can't do it because he's that spectacular, but that's a

1155
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 3: tall ask.

1156
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 2: Plus three seventy five for Calebright now the second choice,

1157
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 2: at least in these numbers that I'm looking at jayde

1158
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 2: Daniels at LSU and minus one thousand, sure, maybe maybe

1159
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 2: some value in Sam Hartman at I'm sorry, I'm sorry

1160
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 2: plus plus one thousand, Maybe some value in Sam Hartman

1161
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 2: at plus sixteen hundred R. And then my final one

1162
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 2: is one that again we talked about a little bit

1163
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 2: at the end of last hour. I don't know how

1164
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 2: these rule changes are going to affect college football. I

1165
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 2: don't know if suddenly you're going to see teams just

1166
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 2: sit on the football whenever they have a lead to

1167
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 2: start the second half. But I am I am intrigued

1168
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 2: to see what happens with the pace of play, with

1169
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 2: the time of game. Because the clock doesn't stop on

1170
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 2: every first down, it's only the final two minutes of

1171
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 2: the first and second half.

1172
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: So KFIG.

1173
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 2: I feel like through the twenty four games we've had,

1174
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 2: seems like the games are moving a little bit quicker.

1175
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 2: But I don't know if it's necessarily changed the strategy

1176
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 2: for teams.

1177
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: Not quite yet. I think we had a larger sample

1178
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: size to see if how it's going to affect the

1179
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,080
Speaker 1: pace of play in games moving forward.

1180
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 2: All right, when we come back, I want to drill deeper.

1181
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 2: Those are eight storylines for me. If you guys have

Speaker 2: passed away according to a release from his family. I

1209

Speaker 2: guess they just posted it on his Twitter account, but

1210
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 2: rest in peace. A couple of quick tweets at Plank

Speaker 2: show is the best way to get after it. Ahead

1212
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:32,439
Speaker 2: News writes Chris, you can't lie the FS one Coach

1213
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 2: Prime Big Saturday promo gave me all the old man feels.

1214
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 2: It's fantastic for college football and the Big twelve.

1215
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Listen.

1216
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 2: I'm not here to tell you that Dion being at

1217
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Colorado isn't incredible for college football. It is storyline after storyline,

1218
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 2: angle after angle. I love coach Prime. I'm just saying

1219
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 2: Dion ain't playing on Saturday and it's even very good.

1220
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 2: So when a maybe Fox Sports knows what they're doing

1221
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 2: when every highlight is about high stepping and what he did.

1222
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be a rough year at Colorado now, Kevin,

1223
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 2: I think we all agree. If he recruits like he's

1224
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,959
Speaker 2: capable of recruiting, it's could be pretty special in time,

1225
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 2: but it's it's gonna it's gonna take time.

1226
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like if and when Colorado's down twenty one to

1227
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 3: three at halftime, are people sticking around to watch the

1228
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 3: remainder of that game? But watch Dion walk on the

1229
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 3: sideline with without a cowboy hat? Like, is that what's

1230
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 3: gonna get people to tune in? That's the issue and

1231
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 3: they have and that aren't they big noon kickoffs the

1232
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 3: next two weeks? Actually, I mean this weekend, next weekend

1233
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 3: that our brothers over at Fox are really hitching their

1234
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 3: wagon to d on these first two weeks, I mean

1235
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 3: really hitching the wagon. And that's a home game next

1236
01:03:55,640 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 3: week at ten am. Yeah, No, Boulder fans. No, you're

1237
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 3: gonna party like crazy, but.

1238
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be rough. Right at least it's a classic

1239
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 1: matchup between Colorado and.

1240
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 2: Nebraskasco Right, I mean the two teams have played each

1241
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 2: other for years in the Big Eight. Are there good players?

1242
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 2: Are there athletes? Is Deanna good coach? Did he surround

1243
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 2: himself with good coordinators?

1244
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Absolutely he did.

1245
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 2: But if there is one thing I have absolutely learned

1246
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 2: in my gosh twenty years of covering college football, you

1247
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 2: can have all of the energy, personality, love swag.

1248
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: If you ain't got the dudes, you ain't gonna win

1249
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: no matters.

1250
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 2: It sounds like an overused phrase like Jimmy and Joe's

1251
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 2: beat the x's and notes, Well, you need you need

1252
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 2: a combination of both. But as Shane Beemer infamously said

1253
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,959
Speaker 2: after Georgia beat South Carolina a couple of years ago,

1254
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 2: it was still when we were doing zoom press conference.

1255
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 2: So maybe he's only been there two years, So it's

1256
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. Like what what kind of

1257
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 2: went wrong last night or what was the challenge in

1258
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 2: the game. Coach Beeber takes his hat off, He's like,

1259
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 2: I mean, there's five stars everywhere. Man, They're everywhere you look,

1260
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 2: So I think it might take a minute. Justin and

1261
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 2: Cincinnati writes, how bad is Ooh, you're gonna beat Cincinnati.

1262
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 2: Don't venture too far off campus, bro, that is an

1263
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 2: eleven AM game.

1264
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: Two.

1265
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 2: I am going to the Reds game though, Justin on

1266
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 2: that Friday night, so that's venturing far off campus. I

1267
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 2: think I'm not too familiar with Cincinnati. I'm excited to

1268
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,000
Speaker 2: go there in a couple of weeks. It'll be my

1269
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 2: first trip to Cincinnati since well, I was in Miami

1270
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 2: of Ohio earlier this year, but I haven't been to

1271
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 2: Cincinnati and Nippert Stadium get this since nineteen ninety seven.

1272
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's exactly the same. Hadn't changed a bit, right?

1273
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: Jason B. Diamond off Twitter.

1274
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 2: You can find us at Plank Show, at KFIG one,

1275
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 2: and of course at Fox Sports Radio. He writes, as

1276
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 2: much as I love coach Prime, he is my coach.

1277
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 2: ESPN and Fox have set us up for a huge disappointment.

1278
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: I may be looking for my lost.

1279
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 2: Shaker of salt slightly in the afternoon. At least you

1280
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 2: realize it, Jason. You know that he takes the job.

1281
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 2: It's an incredible crowd at the spring game. He talks

1282
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 2: about how he's got this list of guys and they're

1283
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 2: at the airport waiting, and yet they don't really have

1284
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 2: an amazing portal class. And they bring in some guys,

1285
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 2: but it's not like this top five portal class, and

1286
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 2: you know, then it's all nonce coach prime, coach prime,

1287
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 2: coach prime, coach prime. You know, he played at Florida State,

1288
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 2: coach prime. And then you pull back and you're like,

1289
01:06:57,560 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 2: I don't know about that.

1290
01:06:59,120 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1291
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 2: And then Jeff Wright, Okay, here's a couple of storylines

1292
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 2: for me. The last time Notre Dame boat race Navy

1293
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 2: in Dublin twenty twelve. That year they played for the

1294
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 2: national title and number two.

1295
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: By week four, I've.

1296
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 2: Got Saban running the Saints' offense with Tyler Taysom Hill Buckner.

1297
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 2: Isn't that what we hear a lot, Kevin. We hear

1298
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 2: that a lot from people that are college football diehards, like, well,

1299
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 2: that's what Saban wants to do.

1300
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to throw it around.

1301
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think if you're gonna star Millrow,

1302
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 3: he's just as equipped to run that as Buckner, if.

1303
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: Not better, I might as well a Millro behind there

1304
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:37,479
Speaker 1: and do it. Yeah, I almost would say.

1305
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 2: If I'm to understand, Milroe is the best runner, Buckner

1306
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 2: is the best pure passer, and Simpson's the best combination.

1307
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: Of them both. Right, That's what I understand as well.

1308
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 2: So maybe this is a situation where you might have

1309
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 2: the right idea. We might just have the wrong dude.

1310
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 2: All right, it is a game. It is game day

1311
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 2: for college football. We have a few games already in

1312
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 2: the books, and here to get us caught up on

1313
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 2: all of them, as Kevin figures with Wes trending.

1314
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: What's going on? Kevin? All right, Well, we'll start with

1315
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 1: college football.

1316
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 3: As you mentioned Chris Stanford with a victory over Hawaii

1317
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 3: thirty seven to twenty two, Louisville winning a shootout against

1318
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech and acc tilt there thirty nine to thirty four.

1319
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 3: You had victories for the Miami Hurricane who beat Miami

1320
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 3: of Ohio, Michigan State, and Kansas with wins as well.

1321
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 3: As we mentioned a second ago, Jalen Milroe going to

1322
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,719
Speaker 3: start at quarterback for Alabama in their game against Middle

1323
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:33,719
Speaker 3: Tennessee State later today, in tennis. Earlier you had Novak

1324
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:36,679
Speaker 3: Djokovic coming back from a two set deficit to advance

1325
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 3: to the round of sixteen at the US Open. In

1326
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball, the Braves defeated the Dodgers six to three,

1327
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 3: max free just three hits allowed, striking out ten Ronald

1328
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 3: Acunia Junior hitting his thirty first home run of the season. There,

1329
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 3: Padres getting home runs from Fernando Tazzis Junior and Juan

1330
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,799
Speaker 3: Soto and at victory over the Giants. With Arizona beating Baltimore,

1331
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:56,719
Speaker 3: the d Backs and Giants are tied for the final

1332
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 3: wildcard spot. By the way, Tampa Bay lost to Cleveland,

1333
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,799
Speaker 3: so they remaine a game and a half behind Baltimore

1334
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 3: in the ALE East. Brewers meat the Phillies seven to

1335
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 3: five and have a three and a half game lead

1336
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 3: over the Cubs in the NL Central after Chicago split

1337
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 3: a couple of games with Cincinnati. All right, back to

1338
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:12,560
Speaker 3: Chris plaint.

1339
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 2: All right, all right, Jimmy Buffett a ur ip has

1340
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 2: passed away tonight, the note from his family on his

1341
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 2: Twitter feed. Jimmy passed away peacefully on the night of

1342
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 2: September one, surrounded by his family, friends, music, and dogs.

1343
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 2: He lived his life like a song till the very

1344
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 2: last breath, and he will be missed beyond measure by

1345
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 2: so many. Now I wasn't I'm not a big music guy,

1346
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 2: but I one of my buddies was a big Jimmy

1347
01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 2: Buffett fan. Like for his fiftieth birthday, he went and

1348
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 2: traveled and saw Jimmy Buffett play. I think it was

1349
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 2: like in Nashville or somewhere like that. So he passed about.

1350
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:50,640
Speaker 2: My friend had passed away a couple years ago. So

1351
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 2: it's just it's one of those to where music to me,

1352
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 2: as much as I'd much rather go to a sporting

1353
01:09:56,560 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 2: event than a concert, there's always that tie that musician

1354
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 2: or a song, and it takes you back to a place.

1355
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 2: Jimmy Buffett tonight had me thinking about my buddy Greg Blackwood.

1356
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 2: So rip to Jimmy and incredible life and incredible legacy,

1357
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 2: and Mark honored you with Jimmy Buffett tunes. We'll see

1358
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 2: if that continues start to night. You know, I did

1359
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 2: like what Jeff said because it cracks me up. We're

1360
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 2: seeing that right now in Oklahoma where fans say hey

1361
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 2: coaching his second year, needing to improve Bob Stoops won

1362
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 2: a title in his second year. He has a left

1363
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 2: handed quarterback. Barry Switzer won a title in his second year.

1364
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: You know, I left handed quarterback. That's what they're going with. Hey,

1365
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: you don't understand how thirsty we are right now. Okay,

1366
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 1: six and seven last year. But I love the idea

1367
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 1: that you're able to say, Man, we.

1368
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 2: Beat Navy in twenty twelve, went to the title that

1369
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,759
Speaker 2: year and we beat him bad. So I every little

1370
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 2: thing you can find. Meanwhile, George is like, yeah, we

1371
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 2: won our opener last year and won.

1372
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: The title, So go back.

1373
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 2: Who terribly are I wanted to play this from Dion now,

1374
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 2: if anything, the Deon Sanders press conferences have been fantastic.

1375
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 2: But again not picking on the guy, but just I

1376
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 2: find it to be an incredible contradiction because this this

1377
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 2: right here, this is great stuff from Dion.

1378
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: This is the second time you mentioned mental health in

1379
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:27,600
Speaker 1: this press conference, and I just kind of want to

1380
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 1: get your impression on how important it is for you

1381
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,439
Speaker 1: to coach their mental in addition to their physical world.

1382
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 7: Well, I'm not only coaching their mental, the physical as

1383
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,599
Speaker 7: well as their spiritual and just trying to guide them

1384
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 7: to their financials as well. So it's a if you

1385
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 7: just coach football, you you missing it. You just leading

1386
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 7: these kids down the football path, you're gonna miss ninety

1387
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 7: eight percent of your locker room. Because it's bigger than that.

1388
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 7: It's bigger than that. And I mean, we tell these

1389
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 7: parents all the time, you send usport, were gonna send

1390
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 7: you back a man. And that has nothing to do

1391
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 7: with football. Has everything to do with the mental, the social,

1392
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 7: the spiritual, the economical, all these different fastests of life.

1393
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 2: So I think that's great. I think you're right, Dion,

1394
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. If that's the case, explain explain this

1395
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 2: to me. You're quote that culture doesn't matter.

1396
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: Quote.

1397
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 2: I'm not welcoming to that word culture. That's all I

1398
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 2: heard when I was at Jackson State. Culture culture, culture, culture.

1399
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:42,560
Speaker 2: Now culture culture, What the heck does that mean. I

1400
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 2: don't think you have to have unity whatsoever. You have

1401
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 2: to have good players. I'm about winning.

1402
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 1: Okay.

1403
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 2: See that's the contradiction in this that always confuses me.

1404
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:56,839
Speaker 2: I maybe there's another word for it. Maybe it's not culture.

1405
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 2: Maybe it is unity is He says, I don't even

1406
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,720
Speaker 2: care about that. But how can you sit here and

1407
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 2: pontificate and wax poetically, or it's about it's more about

1408
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 2: the soul, it's about the mind. And then you say,

1409
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:11,839
Speaker 2: I don't care about culture.

1410
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: I don't care.

1411
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 2: I care about winning, and like that the ultimate contradiction, Kevin,

1412
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 2: what are we been doing right now?

1413
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1414
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 3: We remember maybe two weeks ago the video came out

1415
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 3: about the fight that happened at practice and yelled at

1416
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 3: the team for not sticking up for their teammates. He said,

1417
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 3: one of us fights, we all fight. Isn't that kind

1418
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 3: of a culture thing and all for one, one for

1419
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 3: all situation? So to your point, maybe a semantics and

1420
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 3: maybe Dion calls it something else. But if there's a

1421
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 3: standard that you hold your program to that you're telling

1422
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 3: your kids and you're telling the parents that this is

1423
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 3: what we're going to do, and this is these are

1424
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 3: the young men we want to mold and cultivate, that's

1425
01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 3: a culture, Dion.

1426
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: So I don't know what you're talking about.

1427
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if maybe you want to label it differently.

1428
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 2: And I don't think necessarily that culture is all that

1429
01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 2: important in the NFL, But in college foot.

1430
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:01,400
Speaker 1: I think it's everything.

1431
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 2: I think it's ding ding ding, It is especially whenever

1432
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 2: things don't go well. Lolliat Miami last year they didn't

1433
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 2: have culture as a new coach that didn't win. It

1434
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 2: fell apart. What happens to Colorado if they don't care

1435
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 2: about culture building a foundation. Dion's always won. He's always

1436
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 2: had the best players. He wanted Jackson State because he

1437
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,080
Speaker 2: had the best players that were infinitely better than most

1438
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 2: of the other FCS teams that they were playing or

1439
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 2: NHBCU teams they were playing. He won in high school

1440
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,759
Speaker 2: because in prime academy man, he had the best players.

1441
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 2: You don't have the best players at Colorado. You need

1442
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 2: something to keep these guys together. If things go south,

1443
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:47,680
Speaker 2: and if your mindset is culture doesn't matter, that could

1444
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 2: get ugly pretty quick.

1445
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 3: And by the way, you need to go back to

1446
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 3: his pro playing career when he's had a success the

1447
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 3: organizations he played for. Who had better culture than the

1448
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 3: forty nine ers under Bill Walsh, right, who had better

1449
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 3: culture than the Dallas Cowboys under Jimmy Johnson. And by

1450
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 3: the way, now to take a shot at your guy,

1451
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 3: Barry Switzer, go ahead, but unraval quickly. I know we

1452
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 3: won a super Bowl when he got there. But unraveled

1453
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:10,680
Speaker 3: very quickly once he got there so much so that

1454
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 3: was a big reason why Troy Aikman retired early.

1455
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 1: He even said it himself. It wasn't because of the concussions.

1456
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 1: The conculture around the team was not something that he enjoyed,

1457
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 1: and that's why he retired. We're brought to you by

1491
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 1: Well, they're always here. What am I talking about?

1492
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 2: And Kevin figures in hour three, I've got to get

1493
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 2: to the Kelly Stafford story and we'll run down my viewing.

1494
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 2: I kind of like a watchability ranking the games in

1495
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 2: each time slot. That you can't miss. Now, I'm not

1496
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 2: promising you they're gonna be good games. I'm just saying

1497
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 2: you won't want to miss him. All right, let's get

1498
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:35,720
Speaker 2: caught up on a couple of things. Number One in

1499
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 2: the NFL, the hold out continues for Chris Jones. Travis

1500
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 2: Kelcey took to his podcast to make a plea for

1501
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 2: Chris Jones.

1502
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 8: Oh, man, Chris, can you please come back? She's really

1503
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 8: scaring me. Man, I don't get it. You must know

1504
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 8: something that I don't know, because I just don't get it.

1505
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,240
Speaker 8: I really want to get another Super Bowl ring with you.

1506
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 1: Brother. This is me bargaining you to just come back

1507
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 1: and play football for the Chiefs. We need you well.

1508
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 2: I just want you bad, and I don't know what

1509
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 2: the situation is. Again, that's a clip. That's a clip.

1510
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 2: So I'm not trying to get too carried away here.

1511
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 2: Not everyone is about taking that team friendly deal. Not everybody,

1512
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 2: and they don't have to be. And we've reached this

1513
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 2: point where if somebody says.

1514
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:30,479
Speaker 1: Heyy me, pay me how.

1515
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 2: I should be paid, give me that deal that puts

1516
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 2: me in that same category with how I've been performing,

1517
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 2: everyone suddenly gets well, I mean, Holmes could be making

1518
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,560
Speaker 2: more and he doesn't look good. Brady did it in

1519
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 2: New England. Now full disclosure on a Raiders fan. So

1520
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 2: Kevin figures, I have no problem if Chris Jones wants

1521
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 2: to sit out the entire season. Take your time.

1522
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:56,080
Speaker 5: Man.

1523
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 2: They are disrespecting you, and I think this is terrible

1524
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 2: how they're dragging their feet on this. But whenever you

1525
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 2: have we have a players like, I don't know what's

1526
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:06,640
Speaker 2: going on. I don't get it.

1527
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: I get it.

1528
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 2: He wants to get paid. It's not that hard, Travis Kelcey,

1529
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 2: it's not that hard. Get he wants to get paid.

1530
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 2: You want to go win another Super Bowl. Absolutely, he

1531
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 2: feels like he is a major part of that and

1532
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 2: is not getting paid like he should be.

1533
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: I explained it to you. There you go. It's it's fine.

1534
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,480
Speaker 2: It's fine now holding out things when you have a contract,

1535
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 2: things of that nature. I've got thoughts on that, but

1536
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:35,800
Speaker 2: this isn't the time of place. He feels like, in

1537
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:38,240
Speaker 2: his mind, this is the best way to get the

1538
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 2: chief's attention.

1539
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:42,719
Speaker 1: Okay, fig do what you need to do to get paid.

1540
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:44,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, the problem is I don't know what the end

1541
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 3: game is he's gonna come back by week eight because

1542
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 3: he's not gonna want to lose an accurate season, because

1543
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 3: if he sits out the whole year, we're gonna do

1544
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 3: this all over again. They can franchise tag him at

1545
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,160
Speaker 3: the end of next season. Effrey does come back after

1546
01:19:55,200 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 3: playing eight games, so you know something's gonna give here eventually.

1547
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 3: I do understand the chief standpoint because they might think

1548
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 3: it's a slippery slope because if they do give Chris

1549
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 3: Jones a giant extensions to stop Kelsey or Mahomes from saying, like,

1550
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 3: hold up, who, we're taking a discount, but you paid

1551
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:12,919
Speaker 3: him market value. Pabo, we go bet to the negotiating

1552
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 3: table and you pay us market value.

1553
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 1: Now, I think they should. I think they both should.

1554
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't disagree him.

1555
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 2: If I'm Patrick homeb Mahomes, I'm going to management and

1556
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:23,360
Speaker 2: saying you need to pay me like I deserve to

1557
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 2: be paid, I might sit out as well. But I

1558
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 2: do think that it's kind of shortsighted for Travis Kelsey.

1559
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: To say I don't get it. Yeah, talk about somebody

1560
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:33,760
Speaker 1: else's money. You do.

1561
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 2: That's taboo. You can't do that. I don't get that

1562
01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 2: at all. If I'm Chris Jones, I'm pissed about that.

1563
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 2: And then one other thing. We don't really have a

1564
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:46,960
Speaker 2: true update on anything with Nick Bosa except that Kyle

1565
01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 2: Shanahan and the Niners don't appear to be looking to

1566
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 2: deal him at all.

1567
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: There's no way that you guys would consider trading Nick. No.

1568
01:20:55,479 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I haven't talked to many people about that,

1569
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 9: but I know how I feel pretty strongly. I think

1570
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:01,919
Speaker 9: everyone would agree.

1571
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 2: That, Well, the GM chops a little bit questionable now

1572
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:08,600
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan after pushing for the Trey Lance.

1573
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: Deal, But I get what he's saying.

1574
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:14,680
Speaker 2: You don't want to deal one of your stalwarts, one

1575
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 2: of your cornerstones, one of your centerpieces of this defense,

1576
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 2: Nick Bosa. As he goes, so goes the so goes

1577
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine ers defense. I will say, though, Kevin,

1578
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 2: this has been one of the quietest holdouts right there.

1579
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:31,679
Speaker 1: Just really hasn't been any news.

1580
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 2: In fact, there was a moment I think like a

1581
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 2: month ago where someone's like, yeah, bosus holding out.

1582
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, what kind of forgot about it? Right? Is

1583
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:39,839
Speaker 1: he really?

1584
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 2: I hear so much about quarterback contracts. I hear about

1585
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 2: this so and so much about running backs, right.

1586
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well the thing you have too now, you have

1587
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 3: a week before at the start of the season, so

1588
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 3: if there was a time for negotiations to happen, and

1589
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 3: that would be it. So there was a report that

1590
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 3: they're negotiating and something could be done before once.

1591
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 2: So we'll see, all right when we come back the

1592
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 2: full slate of games. What to keep an eye on,

1593
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:10,439
Speaker 2: and of course Kelly Stafford walking it back kind of.

1594
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 2: I thought that was one of my favorite stories of

1595
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 2: the week, the fact that Matt Stafford would print out

1596
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 2: pictures of faces to figure out guys' names.

1597
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: Fantastic.

1598
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 2: It's Fox Sports Radio Bernie Frata getting a little R

1599
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 2: and R I think before the start of the National

1600
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:30,679
Speaker 2: Football League next week.

1601
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 1: But listen, I.

1602
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 2: Can't believe anyone would want to miss the excitement at

1603
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 2: the start of the college football season, especially someone who

1604
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 2: has dialed it as Bertie is grateful that he took

1605
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:45,599
Speaker 2: this time off so we could talk about it here

1606
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. A full slate of games, and

1607
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 2: we are just a mere eight hours away from a

1608
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,719
Speaker 2: full slate of college football action on the first full

1609
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,200
Speaker 2: Saturday College football.

1610
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm fired up. I'm glad you're hanging out with us tonight.

1611
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna hit all the games, or at least a

1612
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:10,719
Speaker 2: majority of the intriguing matchups. I mean, it's funny. Kevin

1613
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 2: Figures is in. I'm Ethan Demark are running the show.

1614
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:16,200
Speaker 2: I say hit all the games. I mean I'm not

1615
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 2: gonna sit here and go all in on Texas and Rice,

1616
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:21,759
Speaker 2: even though the JT.

1617
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:25,759
Speaker 1: Daniels story is fascinating. JT.

1618
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 2: Daniels USC fans, JT. Daniels Georgia and West Virginia fans

1619
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 2: is the starting quarterback for Rice. It's his fourth college

1620
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 2: football team and the third time that he's played Texas

1621
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,640
Speaker 2: in like the last eight months, with three of them.

1622
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:47,760
Speaker 2: It's just ridiculous. How much are in a couple of years.

1623
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 2: I should say it's wild to see how much he's

1624
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:52,040
Speaker 2: bounced around.

1625
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:54,679
Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna waste your time on it. Now.

1626
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,799
Speaker 2: Could I sit here and spend the next hour talking

1627
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 2: nothing but Oklahoma and then the SEC You bet I could.

1628
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 2: But I want to be able to do this show again,

1629
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 2: and there's much bigger games. But before we get to

1630
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 2: the full day of college football, we were talking contracts

1631
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:16,720
Speaker 2: we were talking players who are still holding out, Chris Jones,

1632
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 2: Big One in Kansas City, Nick Bosa Big One obviously

1633
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. But this week gave us several intriguing

1634
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 2: storylines Number one. Number one was Josh Jacobs is showing

1635
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 2: up and basically having no hard feelings for the way

1636
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 2: this went down with the Raiders.

1637
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 10: I mean, we heard we made it happen, so it

1638
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,640
Speaker 10: ain't no horror feelers now. I mean I feel like,

1639
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 10: like I said, we made it happen, so it's a

1640
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:45,800
Speaker 10: clean slate with me. It was never like really just

1641
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 10: like you know, no hate on each side. I understood it.

1642
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 10: But at the same time I understood my value too,

1643
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:52,759
Speaker 10: So it was just about meeting in the middle.

1644
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 2: Now, whatever happened in that zoom meeting between the running backs,

1645
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 2: I do think we needed some point Kevin figures go

1646
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 2: back and figure out what because literally as soon as

1647
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 2: they had that zoom meeting, Saquan agreed to a deal.

1648
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 1: Like two days later or something, right, it like no

1649
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 1: time at all.

1650
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 2: The way what has happened here? Maybe they realized they

1651
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 2: weren't getting anywhere. Yeah, but you and I, Raider guys,

1652
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 2: I've had no hope.

1653
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 1: You know.

1654
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 2: In fact, I've taken barbs and shots from Raiders fans.

1655
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 1: They're like, not even a real fan? How dare you?

1656
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 4: What?

1657
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 1: Are you a Shane fan? No? No, I'm a Raiders fan.

1658
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm really down.

1659
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 2: I'm really down because I can't believe the lack of

1660
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 2: value they got for Darren Waller, and a starting quarterback

1661
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:38,799
Speaker 2: in the NFL shouldn't leave for nothing.

1662
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 1: Now.

1663
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 2: I wonder if they'll get some sort of compensatory pick

1664
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 2: for Derek Carr. I hope they do, but I'm just

1665
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 2: it's not like, oh, I can't believe Derek Carr is

1666
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 2: in our quarterback. I just feel like, if you can

1667
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:53,640
Speaker 2: get draft picks for Carson Wentz and Sam Darnold, you

1668
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 2: should be able to get something for Derek Carr. But

1669
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:58,880
Speaker 2: I digress. I've been down. I'm not big on Josh McDaniels.

1670
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 2: I don't know necessarily that he's the guy. But something

1671
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:06,640
Speaker 2: bad happened this week, something, and I think it coincided

1672
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 2: I played that cut Kevin with Josh Jacobs showing up.

1673
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 1: Yep.

1674
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 2: I've been injected with this magical thing called hope, and

1675
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 2: it is a terrible drug. People can talk about real

1676
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:22,839
Speaker 2: life drugs. No no, no hope for a sports fan sucks.

1677
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 2: I start looking at it and I think, you know,

1678
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:30,360
Speaker 2: Jimmy G always has been viewed as I don't want

1679
01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:34,040
Speaker 2: to say the problem, but San Francisco kind of win

1680
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 2: in and him not doing much right. He's like, oh

1681
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 2: they and they seem like they were trying to move

1682
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 2: on from him the moment that he became their starting quarterback, right,

1683
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 2: rumors about Matt Ryan and Kirk Cousins. They move up

1684
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 2: to trade Trey Lance. Meanwhile, Jimmy G's the only guy

1685
01:26:49,479 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 2: that took him to a super Bowl. So I hear

1686
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 2: that suddenly, I'm like, you know, that's a good point.

1687
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:58,599
Speaker 2: Maybe he's finally his time to shine. Josh Jacobs is back,

1688
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 2: there's still some you named Avontae Adams running routes for them,

1689
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 2: and I kind of like what I've seen from Tyree

1690
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 2: Wilson so far. So before we move on to other

1691
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:13,520
Speaker 2: NFL stories, am I setting myself up for my typical

1692
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 2: fall if I allow myself to have a little bit

1693
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 2: more hope than I originally had for this season, because

1694
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 2: you know a k thing. I was tanked for Caleb,

1695
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 2: I was creter for Caleb, But I don't think anyone

1696
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 2: can match how badly the Arizona Cardinals were going to

1697
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 2: create her. So kindly, by the way for the Cardinals,

1698
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 2: I mean, now I even making any secrets about it,

1699
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 2: I've kind of accepted that, you know what, all right,

1700
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 2: teams go to the super Bowl without having the number

1701
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:38,559
Speaker 2: one overall picking the draft.

1702
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I'm starting to get a little

1703
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: bit of hope. Am I crazy? Yes? Okay, I'm totally

1704
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:45,200
Speaker 1: with you. Absolutely.

1705
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 3: Now, the division that they're in, they don't have the

1706
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:50,640
Speaker 3: easiest schedule. They have a lot of things working against them,

1707
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 3: and a lot of things need to break their way

1708
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:55,200
Speaker 3: for them to be able to sniff a playoff birth. Now, granted,

1709
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 3: look last year down the stretch, they were still in

1710
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 3: it the last three four weeks of the season.

1711
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:01,680
Speaker 1: I just think they're a little bit less talented this

1712
01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 1: year than they were last year. So if you want to,

1713
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 1: you know, bank on the confidence to say, hey, is

1714
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 1: Patrick Graham's second year in the system. They have some

1715
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 1: smarter players in there, all right, maybe they'll be a

1716
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 1: moticum better defensively, but offensively, they just need a lot

1717
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 1: to be able to go their way. I still don't

1718
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 1: like the offensive line the way that it's set up.

1719
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 1: You know you mentioned Devontae Adams. Is Renfro going to

1720
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:21,759
Speaker 1: have a bounce back season after being you know, pretty

1721
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 1: much terrible after suffering that concussion early on last year?

1722
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, you didn't have an entire

1723
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,320
Speaker 1: training camp with Josh Jacobs. Will that affect him? It could,

1724
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 1: It may not.

1725
01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 3: There's just a lot of question marks with that team

1726
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 3: for me to definitively say, yeah.

1727
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:37,799
Speaker 1: I got a good feeling about him this year. I see.

1728
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: That's what I needed to hear. Too much of a realist.

1729
01:28:40,680 --> 01:28:45,640
Speaker 1: I needed to be brought back to earth because I

1730
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:49,040
Speaker 1: blame Danny This is Danny G's Oh, Doug got Danny G.

1731
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, this is all Danny G's fault because he's

1732
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:56,240
Speaker 2: he's an eternal optimist. With the Raiders, H and I

1733
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:58,920
Speaker 2: hear Cavino and Rich and they're drinking some of that

1734
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 2: don't want to say gatorade, but they're they're drinking the

1735
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 2: kool aid. And I think I started doing it a

1736
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 2: little bit today. Also, I'm a big John Middlecough fan,

1737
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 2: and he was actually saying nice things about the Raiders

1738
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:11,000
Speaker 2: on his podcasts.

1739
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 1: I was blown away. I respect that, I respect John

1740
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:17,160
Speaker 1: in his opinions. Yeah, okay, but.

1741
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:22,600
Speaker 2: But reality, reality is you gotta deal with Herbert Mahomes.

1742
01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 2: And we'll see about Russell Wilsons just.

1743
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 3: Seems to be like a half step better than he

1744
01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 3: was last year, and the Broncos will at least be

1745
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 3: you know, competitive this year.

1746
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: I think Sean Payton at least make him better. You

1747
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,720
Speaker 1: can be worse. Oh, you can't be much worse than

1748
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:35,120
Speaker 1: they were.

1749
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:39,200
Speaker 2: And then the other the other football thing that everyone

1750
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 2: is talking about that I guess we're all required to

1751
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:44,759
Speaker 2: have a take on is Aaron Rodgers.

1752
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:47,400
Speaker 1: He made his preseason.

1753
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:49,840
Speaker 2: Debut a week ago and there's been all kinds of

1754
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:52,640
Speaker 2: fallout from him going after giad Ward and saying, I

1755
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 2: don't know who you are, which is funny because I

1756
01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 2: know who gad Ward is. That's who the Raiders took

1757
01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:01,400
Speaker 2: instead of Derrick Henry. But he was here was Aaron

1758
01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:04,720
Speaker 2: Rodgers this past week talking about being in the game

1759
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 2: and what that moment was like.

1760
01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:08,519
Speaker 9: Yeah, had some butterflies, for sure. I think that's that's

1761
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 9: always normal. First time I strap it on, It's it's

1762
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 9: kind of the standard. Whether I'm in year one playing

1763
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 9: San Diego Chargers or year nineteen, you know, preseason number four.

1764
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:23,120
Speaker 9: There's always some butterflies when you step out there for

1765
01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:26,240
Speaker 9: the first time. But I loosened up pretty good when

1766
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:27,720
Speaker 9: I got the ovation. When I took the field, that

1767
01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:28,719
Speaker 9: was a special moment.

1768
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, Alan Lazard has been very familiar

1769
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 2: with with Aaron Rodgers.

1770
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:37,000
Speaker 1: He's been around him for a minute.

1771
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:41,479
Speaker 2: But he he was talking about his leadership style for

1772
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers.

1773
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 4: If you mess up, you mess up, and he's gonna

1774
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 4: let you have it. I know. And you know, sometimes

1775
01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 4: I think, especially the way the world's kind of going,

1776
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:50,519
Speaker 4: is that people are getting a little bit more softer

1777
01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:52,720
Speaker 4: and a little more sensitive. But yeah, I think that

1778
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:57,080
Speaker 4: hard confrontational discipline is all that you need. I know

1779
01:30:57,120 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 4: it was for me, you know, when he was cussing

1780
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:01,840
Speaker 4: me out or giving me a dirty look after I'm

1781
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,479
Speaker 4: messed up. You know, that's what motivated mean to not

1782
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:06,920
Speaker 4: do that again because I don't want to disappoint him.

1783
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:08,880
Speaker 4: But also I didn't want to disappoint my teammates and

1784
01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 4: more so myself than like what I was trying to do.

1785
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:13,320
Speaker 4: And I think so I think It's just a great

1786
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:14,200
Speaker 4: reminder of just.

1787
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:18,240
Speaker 2: First of all, I need to know what's going on

1788
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 2: in the background. There somebody beating the absolute you know

1789
01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 2: what out of something. I don't know if it's a

1790
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 2: shoe getting banged on a wall or what. But that

1791
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:28,640
Speaker 2: was Alan Lazarre talking about the leadership. I play that

1792
01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 2: for one reason. I spent some time this week talking

1793
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:37,200
Speaker 2: to That's the best way to put this. An acquaintance

1794
01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 2: of Jordan Love, someone really close to Jordan Love. And

1795
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:44,720
Speaker 2: I feel like Aaron Rodgers is probably and I don't

1796
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 2: think he minds this incredibly misunderstood for how his time

1797
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,600
Speaker 2: ended at Green Bay. I know our buddy Peter Bkowski

1798
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 2: had the report this week that, you know, green Bay

1799
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 2: was ready to move on for Aaron Rodgers. I don't

1800
01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 2: really know how that went viral and how peole lost

1801
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 2: their mind over it, because I feel like that that's

1802
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 2: kind of been a known thing for a while, and

1803
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 2: I think Peter has said that for a minute and

1804
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:13,439
Speaker 2: it just started getting aggregated like crazy on Wednesday of

1805
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:17,519
Speaker 2: this week. But in talking to in talking to this

1806
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:20,280
Speaker 2: person that was really close to Jordan Love, he said,

1807
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:24,400
Speaker 2: Jordan Love's you know and one Jordan Love's ready, and

1808
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:26,599
Speaker 2: he's and he's gonna be I think, fun to watch

1809
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:31,080
Speaker 2: this year. But Jordan had nothing but incredible things to

1810
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:32,240
Speaker 2: say about Aaron Rodgers.

1811
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:33,799
Speaker 1: And I'm not going to sit.

1812
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 2: Here and try to, you know, pine for everyone to

1813
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,880
Speaker 2: understand Aaron Rodgers in the different way that he approaches

1814
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 2: things and how you know, darkness retreats and dropping acid

1815
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:47,160
Speaker 2: and hiahuasca or whatever it is, how all those things,

1816
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:48,759
Speaker 2: How you guys, you to try this yourself.

1817
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:52,200
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying sometimes.

1818
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 2: It's it's not always what's out there, it's not always

1819
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:58,720
Speaker 2: what's being reported. And I guess Jordan Love has just

1820
01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:02,080
Speaker 2: been gushing on his time with Aaron Rodgers, how he

1821
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 2: would take him aside, he'd spend extra time with him,

1822
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:08,120
Speaker 2: how it was, you know, really making sure that he

1823
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:11,800
Speaker 2: understood the offense and as much and understood how to

1824
01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:16,400
Speaker 2: be an NFL quarterback, even even k fig calling a

1825
01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:21,080
Speaker 2: check on him, Darry Camp, Right, No one's talking about that.

1826
01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:24,800
Speaker 1: Hey taxing him? Hey, how you doing things? Good? Everything? Rolling?

1827
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:27,080
Speaker 1: Good luck? Man, I hope you do great. I mean

1828
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 1: these are.

1829
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 2: Just because Aaron Rodgers poured himself what a bourbon or

1830
01:33:32,920 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 2: a Scotch or whatever whenever they drafted Jordan Love, and

1831
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:41,120
Speaker 2: that led to strife between the Packers and Aaron Rodgers.

1832
01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:44,000
Speaker 1: I don't think he treated Jordan Love poorly.

1833
01:33:44,040 --> 01:33:46,040
Speaker 2: And in fact, if you look back now, Jordan Love

1834
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:49,559
Speaker 2: probably isn't in this position that he's in now. If

1835
01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:51,880
Speaker 2: he had to start right away, dude might be bouncing

1836
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:55,160
Speaker 2: around like Trey Lance is right. But sometimes, Kate fig

1837
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:57,680
Speaker 2: we don't know the whole story, and it sounds like

1838
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:00,840
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has been intricol and making sure that Jordan

1839
01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:02,080
Speaker 2: Love is ready for this moment.

1840
01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:03,200
Speaker 1: And I think that's awesome.

1841
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think part of the reason is that

1842
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:07,760
Speaker 3: wasn't his experience when he came to Green Bay. So

1843
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 3: if you remember Brett Farv and it's very publicly noted,

1844
01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:13,840
Speaker 3: did not embrace Aaron Rodgers and did not try to

1845
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:15,800
Speaker 3: mentor him and said, yeah, rookie, do your thing, I'm

1846
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 3: over here with the veterans. He did not embrace him.

1847
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:20,559
Speaker 3: And something tells me by the way Aaron Rodgers, as

1848
01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:22,760
Speaker 3: different as he is, I know he's wired differently. You

1849
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:26,120
Speaker 3: mentioned the ayahuasca and all that stuff, all the speculation

1850
01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:28,640
Speaker 3: we hear publicly. Is just that I've not heard a

1851
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:31,880
Speaker 3: single teammate on the record, off the record ever say

1852
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:33,519
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is a bad teammate.

1853
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:35,040
Speaker 1: That's never been said.

1854
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:37,200
Speaker 3: It's been alluded to by people, and I know he's

1855
01:34:37,200 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 3: different and he's aloof but anytime someone has spoken on

1856
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:43,960
Speaker 3: the record about Aaron Rodgers, it's been sort of what

1857
01:34:44,040 --> 01:34:46,840
Speaker 3: the Jordan Love situation has been. He's helped me out. Yeah,

1858
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:48,879
Speaker 3: he's a little bit different, but he's been a great teammate,

1859
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 3: you know. But narratives get picked up because a guy

1860
01:34:51,479 --> 01:34:53,479
Speaker 3: might be wired a little bit differently and might not

1861
01:34:53,560 --> 01:34:56,720
Speaker 3: be as appealing publicly as you would like him to be,

1862
01:34:57,200 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 3: and so people decide that, well, he's a bad teammate

1863
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:02,439
Speaker 3: because he might I give nebulous answers to the media

1864
01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 3: that we don't like or act a certain way publicly,

1865
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:07,840
Speaker 3: But how you act publicly and how you act miind

1866
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 3: closed doors are completely different. Marshawn Lynch is an example

1867
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:13,000
Speaker 3: of that too. They say the saying, how great of

1868
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:14,800
Speaker 3: a teammate he is, and he jokes around and all that,

1869
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:16,799
Speaker 3: but in front of us, won't say a word.

1870
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 1: It's completely different.

1871
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:20,720
Speaker 3: Narratives in front of the media behind closed doors, and

1872
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 3: then sometimes they're not always one and the same.

1873
01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:25,639
Speaker 2: And I think some people, I think some people look

1874
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:27,439
Speaker 2: at that and say, what else am I supposed to do?

1875
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:29,720
Speaker 2: I've got to judge by what I see, right, No,

1876
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:33,320
Speaker 2: you don't. Yeah, it takes one or two questions. And

1877
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:36,519
Speaker 2: here's another thing, real quick, then we're gonna get college football.

1878
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 2: For the final forty five minutes of the show, a

1879
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 2: complete ou Ar Kansas State preview.

1880
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: Right right, everybody? Are you ready? Jackson Arnold? Okay?

1881
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 2: I feel like that there are certain fights that columnists,

1882
01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:57,479
Speaker 2: radio hosts, podcasters, twitter people, ex people whatever, that they

1883
01:35:57,640 --> 01:36:01,439
Speaker 2: know it gets them some juice. If I pick a

1884
01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:04,840
Speaker 2: fight with that Colin and Baker Mayfield, he knows that

1885
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:08,679
Speaker 2: he's gonna get all kinds of traction because sooner fans

1886
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 2: are going to be ride or die with anything Baker does.

1887
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:15,280
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, columnists that do thing like

1888
01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:17,639
Speaker 2: I didn't vote for Nolan Ryan for the Hall of Fame,

1889
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,360
Speaker 2: you know, they know that it's gonna get traction and

1890
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 2: people are going to talk about him. I feel like

1891
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 2: it's popular to be in THEO. This crazy guy. He

1892
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:30,439
Speaker 2: didn't even get vaccinated. He fooled us all and said

1893
01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:32,240
Speaker 2: that he what was the term? I remember what it was.

1894
01:36:32,760 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 2: But it's almost as if you find things to where

1895
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 2: you've just made this decision that this is who this

1896
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:44,559
Speaker 2: guy is, and I just I guess the bottom line

1897
01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:47,600
Speaker 2: for me is I've really been wowed with Aaron in

1898
01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:50,479
Speaker 2: New York and seeing how he's been with Jordan Love

1899
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,280
Speaker 2: and knowing now talking to people close to Jordan Love,

1900
01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:56,559
Speaker 2: it's just really cool. And I think sometimes people just

1901
01:36:56,600 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 2: make this decision. I'm sure there's Packer fans that are

1902
01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:01,120
Speaker 2: mad about how it ended with Aaron. He didn't play

1903
01:37:01,120 --> 01:37:02,479
Speaker 2: well in that game that could have got him in

1904
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 2: the playoffs, right, and it's been a disaster for the

1905
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 2: last couple of years, right, And I'm sure I'm sure

1906
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,600
Speaker 2: there's Packer fans that are fed up with it. But

1907
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 2: you can't help but dig what's going on. I mean

1908
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:16,840
Speaker 2: is he is having the time of his life, and

1909
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:20,880
Speaker 2: the Jets are relevant without people trying to pump up

1910
01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 2: interest in them. That's basically not base. In fact, it's

1911
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:28,040
Speaker 2: fun to see what the Jets are doing right now.

1912
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:30,040
Speaker 1: So I'm in.

1913
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:32,320
Speaker 2: I'm in on Aaron Rodgers to the Jets, and I

1914
01:37:32,320 --> 01:37:36,680
Speaker 2: love everything about what's been going on with that. I

1915
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:38,600
Speaker 2: had one other NFL thing, but listen, I got to

1916
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:40,639

01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:44,160
Speaker 2: elevation and responsibility or did I just basically make something up.

1935
01:38:44,320 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 1: I saw on Facebook.

1936
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:47,320

Speaker 2: You got me tonight and tomorrow night and I've got

1943
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:08,599
Speaker 2: all kinds of NFL stuff and then tomorrow and it'll

1944
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 2: be a complete college football recap show. But let's get

1945
01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:14,599
Speaker 2: let's get out to the games, Kfig and we got

1946
01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 2: a few minutes here before your update. Let's start with

1947
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:22,679
Speaker 2: the early games. Are you in on Colorado TCU noon Eastern?

1948
01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:25,680
Speaker 2: Everyone wants to see what it looks like for Colorado

1949
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:31,160
Speaker 2: Historically most roster turnover. I think we've ever seen fifty

1950
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:33,960
Speaker 2: one players in the portal forty and I think it's more.

1951
01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:36,000
Speaker 1: I think it got up to like fifty three, fifty.

1952
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:39,799
Speaker 2: Four, yeah, yeah, forty six plus of those after Dion

1953
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:44,919
Speaker 2: came in. No team had more than twenty nine players

1954
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:48,200
Speaker 2: in the portal. And everyone must think a TCU sucks

1955
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:52,560
Speaker 2: because they got destroyed by Georgia, who's destroying everyone nowadays.

1956
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:56,599
Speaker 2: But are are you in on this matchup?

1957
01:39:57,040 --> 01:39:59,120
Speaker 3: I'm in on it for a couple of reasons, the

1958
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:01,920
Speaker 3: novelty of college Deanna. I do at least want to

1959
01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:03,720
Speaker 3: see what they may look like. By the way, I

1960
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:06,719
Speaker 3: think a successful season of Colorado. If they get five wins,

1961
01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:09,360
Speaker 3: I'd be like, all right, maybe you're doing something bull eligibility. Yeah,

1962
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:11,559
Speaker 3: Bowl eligibility, or at least knocking on the door of

1963
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:14,720
Speaker 3: Bowl eligibility. Considering their roster turnover, I think will be

1964
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:16,920
Speaker 3: a good season for them. I'm intrigued as to what

1965
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 3: TCU does to follow up their national title game run

1966
01:40:20,120 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 3: last season because they lost some important players. Max Dugan

1967
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:24,479
Speaker 3: has gone, Quentin Johnston has gone. Both of those guys

1968
01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:26,599
Speaker 3: are with the Chargers now, So how do they kind

1969
01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:28,640
Speaker 3: of recover and what kind of season do they have?

1970
01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:31,880
Speaker 3: So it's kind of a dual pronged interest level for

1971
01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:32,559
Speaker 3: me in this game.

1972
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:37,080
Speaker 2: Here's one quick story on TCU. I am a I'm

1973
01:40:37,120 --> 01:40:40,519
Speaker 2: a firm believer that they're not going anywhere. But I

1974
01:40:40,560 --> 01:40:42,880
Speaker 2: don't think they're going to be sitting there undefeated going

1975
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:44,160
Speaker 2: into the Big Twelve title game.

1976
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 1: I would highly doubt it.

1977
01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:48,000
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a little bit more of a challenging schedule

1978
01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 2: for TCU. This year and again breaking news. It is

1979
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:55,280
Speaker 2: really hard to go undefeated in college football. But the

1980
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:58,439
Speaker 2: guy who's starting at quarterback for them, Chandler Morris. He

1981
01:40:58,600 --> 01:41:00,760
Speaker 2: was their starting quarterback last year and got hurt in

1982
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:05,240
Speaker 2: the Colorado game, and they're not messing around. They open

1983
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:07,120
Speaker 2: with the Colorado. They've got to go to Houston in

1984
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:10,160
Speaker 2: two weeks. They've got a you know, they got a

1985
01:41:10,240 --> 01:41:12,559
Speaker 2: challenging road trip in Manhattan. They've got to go to

1986
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:17,040
Speaker 2: Oklahoma and Texas Tech later in the year. Basically all

1987
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 2: of the contenders they play on the road, except Texas,

1988
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:22,920
Speaker 2: who they get at home. So it's gonna be a

1989
01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:26,559
Speaker 2: challenging year thirteen and two. Don't think that a team

1990
01:41:26,560 --> 01:41:29,280
Speaker 2: that just returns three offensive starters is going to be there.

1991
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:32,639
Speaker 2: Maybe a little better defensively, but I think they're gonna

1992
01:41:32,680 --> 01:41:35,679
Speaker 2: roll Colorado. I think it'll be fun early. But there's

1993
01:41:35,720 --> 01:41:38,759
Speaker 2: a good energy and a good juice around this TCU program.

1994
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:41,960
Speaker 2: Judja Earl is a wide receiver they got from Alabama. Listen,

1995
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:44,599
Speaker 2: He's not Quinton Johnston. And I don't know if Chandler

1996
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:46,519
Speaker 2: Morris could do what Max Duggan did, but in their

1997
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:50,599
Speaker 2: competition last year, Morris beed him out. Let's see, let's

1998
01:41:50,600 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 2: see what TCU has to bounce back from the embarrassment

1999
01:41:53,320 --> 01:41:55,679
Speaker 2: of the championship game against Georgia. And let me remind

2000
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:59,120
Speaker 2: you that was the championship game. They beat the team

2001
01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 2: that all of you are hot for this year in

2002
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 2: Michigan and beat him pretty handily in the in the

2003
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 2: semi final game.

2004
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:08,519
Speaker 1: Yep, sure did so. And Sonny does can coach some offense.

2005
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:11,720
Speaker 3: So I'm at least intrigued aus to see what's how

2006
01:42:11,800 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 3: TCU recovers. Knowing that they, as you mentioned, have a

2007
01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 3: lot of roster turnover, I still think they'll have a

2008
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:17,160
Speaker 3: pretty good year.

2009
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:19,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. I was listening to Sunny Dykes. He's

2010
01:42:19,560 --> 01:42:22,519
Speaker 2: the head coach at TCU, and they they asked him.

2011
01:42:22,520 --> 01:42:23,840
Speaker 2: He's like, hey, what do you what did you take

2012
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 2: from last year's game and he goes nothing, absolutely nothing.

2013
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:30,559
Speaker 2: We didn't even watch tape of last year's game against Colorado.

2014
01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:33,959
Speaker 1: Nobody left, nobody left matter. It's hilarious.

2015
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:35,960
Speaker 2: So that's one of the big early games. That's a

2016
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 2: big newon Kick on Fox. There's there's two other well

2017
01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:44,360
Speaker 2: in my world, there's one big eleven AM Kicks Central Time,

2018
01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:49,280
Speaker 2: but I will talk. Oh you Arkansas State, Virginia and Tennessee.

2019
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:53,920
Speaker 2: I don't everyone's hot for Joe Milton, and I understand why.

2020
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:57,679
Speaker 2: The dude is an absolute freak show. Now we've seen

2021
01:42:57,760 --> 01:43:01,799
Speaker 2: him before. You know this isn't some young up and comer.

2022
01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:07,920
Speaker 2: Joe Milton's twenty three years old. This is Joe Milton's

2023
01:43:08,479 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 2: sixth year of college football. Okay. I feel like sometimes like, oh,

2024
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 2: I haven't seen this Joe Milton guy. He seems incredible. Yeah,

2025
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:19,080
Speaker 2: well he's gonna be Let's see when's his birthday. He's

2026
01:43:19,120 --> 01:43:22,759
Speaker 2: gonna be twenty four by the time the draft comes around.

2027
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:26,680
Speaker 2: He's twenty three years old, Okay, And he was fantastic

2028
01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:29,040
Speaker 2: whenever he had to fill in in the bowl game

2029
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:33,439
Speaker 2: last year for Tennessee. But he's the guy in boy

2030
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:36,479
Speaker 2: Virginia football trying to come back after the tragedy that

2031
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:38,200
Speaker 2: ended their season last year with.

2032
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:40,439
Speaker 1: I still I don't know about you, k Thak.

2033
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:45,840
Speaker 2: I still don't know if I completely understand why what

2034
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:49,200
Speaker 2: led to that shooting and why it happened and the tragedy.

2035
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:51,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if we ever will, but it's the

2036
01:43:51,920 --> 01:43:55,320
Speaker 2: return to football for Virginia. Who is a program that's

2037
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:59,880
Speaker 2: still grieving. I love Tony Elliott. I think he's a

2038
01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:02,759
Speaker 2: he's got the potential be a really, really good head coach.

2039
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:05,160
Speaker 2: I think they're going to be overmatched today. But at

2040
01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:07,599
Speaker 2: the very least that is one hell of a story

2041
01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:09,759
Speaker 2: with Virginia getting back to college football.

2042
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least a little bit of a mental respite

2043
01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:14,880
Speaker 3: get back on the field. But I mean, look, there's

2044
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:16,559
Speaker 3: night They have a lot to work with to begin with,

2045
01:44:16,720 --> 01:44:19,400
Speaker 3: just from a talent standpoint, and you at the tragedy

2046
01:44:19,439 --> 01:44:21,080
Speaker 3: from the end of last season on top of it,

2047
01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 3: It's going to be tough sledding. But at least it's

2048
01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:25,160
Speaker 3: a bit of a welcome distraction that they can actually

2049
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:27,160
Speaker 3: get back out there on the field. But there, what

2050
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:29,120
Speaker 3: are they like thirty point underdogs or something like that

2051
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,400
Speaker 3: to Tennessee. And I'm not a gambler, as we discussed

2052
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:34,000
Speaker 3: earlier in the show, but if I were, I'd probably

2053
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 3: take Tennessee in the points to be honest.

2054
01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:38,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank god, I'm not a gambler. Holy smokes, I'd

2055
01:44:38,560 --> 01:44:40,880
Speaker 2: be broke today. I would have lost all that money

2056
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:44,120
Speaker 2: on Georgia Tech and freaking Hawaii here tonight.

2057
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:46,160
Speaker 1: All right, The other early game.

2058
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:50,160
Speaker 2: And again there's a handful of noon eastern eleven AM

2059
01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:53,720
Speaker 2: Central time games that are being played, but they're not

2060
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 2: really going to be must watch games in recent A

2061
01:44:58,040 --> 01:45:00,800
Speaker 2: little bit on this, but I'm intrigued by Purdue Fresno State.

2062
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:05,200
Speaker 2: Same Jay Hayner. After starting at quarterback for one hundred years,

2063
01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:08,240
Speaker 2: he's gone. He's off to the New Orleans Saints. Meanwhile,

2064
01:45:08,280 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 2: Purdue's got a new head coach and Ryan Walters, whom

2065
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:13,360
Speaker 2: I like a lot. He was the architect behind the

2066
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:16,559
Speaker 2: Illinois defense over the last couple of years. And Purdue

2067
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:20,599
Speaker 2: has a new starting quarterback in Hudson card Oh. And

2068
01:45:21,560 --> 01:45:25,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if many people know this, the offensive

2069
01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:30,760
Speaker 2: coordinator for Purdue is Graham Harrell yep, who is bounced.

2070
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:31,320
Speaker 1: Around a little bit.

2071
01:45:31,360 --> 01:45:34,439
Speaker 2: So they're gonna run that air raid offense again, kay,

2072
01:45:34,520 --> 01:45:37,519
Speaker 2: think maybe a little bit of a reach, But I'm

2073
01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:40,799
Speaker 2: here to see what Purdue is gonna look like because

2074
01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:43,880
Speaker 2: that's a team that played in the Big Ten championship

2075
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:44,719
Speaker 2: game last year.

2076
01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:47,439
Speaker 1: It's right one. I'm intrigued by them.

2077
01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:49,479
Speaker 3: And then my guy Jeff Tepford, who I know from

2078
01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:52,559
Speaker 3: cal And then with Fresno State, intriguing this year too,

2079
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:54,479
Speaker 3: So I'm intrigued by that matchup.

2080
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:57,160
Speaker 1: Purdue played in the Big Ten title game last year.

2081
01:45:57,160 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 1: How wild is that? And their head coach and moved

2082
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:00,880
Speaker 1: on to a little who knew?

2083
01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 2: All right, So there are some of the early games

2084
01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:06,479
Speaker 2: when we come back, can't miss games really start to

2085
01:46:06,600 --> 01:46:09,679
Speaker 2: ramp up in the afternoon and into the evening. But first,

2086
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 2: Kay BIG's got to look at everything going on in

2087
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:12,639
Speaker 2: the world of sports.

2088
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:13,160
Speaker 1: What's going on?

2089
01:46:13,240 --> 01:46:15,160

2091
01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:19,240
Speaker 3: seven to twenty two.

2092
01:46:19,320 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that worked out in Chris's favor. And

2093
01:46:21,360 --> 01:46:23,519
Speaker 1: not good Kevin, not good man. Yeah.

2094
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:26,360
Speaker 3: Well, we go out to the ACC Louisville Cardinals getting

2095

Speaker 3: three touchdown passes from Jack Plumber. They get a thirty

Speaker 3: with a victory over Central Michigan thirty one to seven.

2099
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:41,599
Speaker 3: So Major League Baseball Braves beating the Dodgers six to three,

Speaker 3: five straight wins there for Atlanta Arizona defeated Baltimore, while

Speaker 3: the Padres beat the Giants, so the d Backs in

01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:50,439
Speaker 3: San Francisco are tied for the final wildcard spot in

2103
01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:53,559
Speaker 3: the National League. Yankees with the victory over Houston six

2104

2117
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:38,160
Speaker 2: From USC offensive coordinators out here for.

2118
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:40,679
Speaker 1: A little bit in LA with the USC? Huh crazy?

2119
01:47:40,960 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 1: How's that?

2120
01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:46,000
Speaker 2: By the way, I've seen it talked about some How's

2121
01:47:46,040 --> 01:47:50,519
Speaker 2: the mesh between Kingsbury and Lincoln going so far, has

2122
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:53,599
Speaker 2: there been much Cliff Kingsbury talk with him being on

2123
01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:55,240
Speaker 2: that staff this year as an analyst.

2124
01:47:55,439 --> 01:47:57,839
Speaker 3: No, to be honest with you, has been all quiet

2125
01:47:57,880 --> 01:47:59,479
Speaker 3: on the Western front, to be honest with you, not

2126
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 3: all whole lot of it's.

2127
01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:03,439
Speaker 1: Been pretty quiet. Good A lot of no news is

2128
01:48:03,479 --> 01:48:05,439
Speaker 1: good news. I guess that's right. As long as they're

2129
01:48:05,479 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 1: not fighting, I think that's a good thing. I think

2130
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:08,120
Speaker 1: Cliff is still happy.

2131
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:09,479
Speaker 3: You have to be collecting to check from the car

2132
01:48:09,560 --> 01:48:11,240
Speaker 3: knows and to kind of lay low at USC and

2133
01:48:11,280 --> 01:48:13,519
Speaker 3: his analyst roll or whatever his official title is.

2134
01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:15,639
Speaker 1: I don't think Cliff lost the ruffle any feathers.

2135
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:19,799
Speaker 2: He made so much money in his buyout, it doesn't

2136
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:23,880
Speaker 2: even matter. Ridiculous, so much money in his buyod Okay,

2137
01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:28,880
Speaker 2: I've got let's here, two four, I got six more

2138
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:31,800
Speaker 2: games that I think are must watch on a full

2139
01:48:31,800 --> 01:48:33,639
Speaker 2: slate of games where let's just face it, not every

2140
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:36,080
Speaker 2: game is going to be a must watch game, and

2141
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:38,960
Speaker 2: maybe must watch is a little bit hedging the bet here.

2142
01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:41,360
Speaker 1: But let me take you to three point thirty Eastern.

2143
01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:45,559
Speaker 2: Okay, you cover the back twelve final year of the

2144
01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:48,360
Speaker 2: PAC twelve. Maybe one of the best years of the

2145
01:48:48,400 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 2: PAC twelve that we've had in a while.

2146
01:48:50,120 --> 01:48:53,479
Speaker 1: Now, certainly talent wise, especially at the quarterback position. Steep

2147
01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:58,200
Speaker 1: I am Michael Pinnix ideals a dollar. He looks the part.

2148
01:48:58,360 --> 01:49:01,960
Speaker 2: Washington plays Boise staying now, this isn't your dad's Boise

2149
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:04,960
Speaker 2: State Broncos team. I can't even think of a Boise

2150
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:07,960
Speaker 2: State player. Oh, Kellen Moore is not walking through that door.

2151
01:49:09,000 --> 01:49:11,320
Speaker 2: Ian Johnson isn't walking through that door.

2152
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:15,000
Speaker 1: I've run out of Boise State players. Chris Peterson isn't

2153
01:49:15,040 --> 01:49:16,040
Speaker 1: walking through that door.

2154
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:18,479
Speaker 3: Kyle Wilson, the defensive back of the Jets love for

2155
01:49:18,479 --> 01:49:19,960
Speaker 3: a while, notable that.

2156
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:20,639
Speaker 1: Door, that door.

2157
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:24,760
Speaker 2: But this is a game, you know, Washington. I understand

2158
01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:29,160
Speaker 2: everything in their season is centered around dealing with the

2159
01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:31,599
Speaker 2: Golden Hurricane of the University of Tulsa next weekend.

2160
01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:32,360
Speaker 1: I understand that.

2161
01:49:32,800 --> 01:49:36,360
Speaker 2: But this warm up task against Boise State is fascinating

2162
01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:40,040
Speaker 2: to me because if you talk to people that covered

2163
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:43,720
Speaker 2: Michael Pinnock's junior whenever he was at Indiana, you would

2164
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 2: have thought that they're talking about a guy that was

2165
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:49,200
Speaker 2: either a playing the wrong position or B throwing with

2166
01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:52,720
Speaker 2: the wrong hand. Now Now, I mean we're talking about

2167
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:54,439
Speaker 2: a guy that could be a first round draft pick.

2168
01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:57,040
Speaker 1: Trophy candidate.

2169
01:49:57,560 --> 01:50:00,880
Speaker 2: And I didn't know much about kell Kaylyn de Bor

2170
01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:04,799
Speaker 2: whenever he took this job. But Washington was a problem

2171
01:50:05,080 --> 01:50:08,160
Speaker 2: last year. And you know you started out by covering

2172
01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:09,840
Speaker 2: a big number against the boys. He State, get that

2173
01:50:09,880 --> 01:50:13,280
Speaker 2: hype going. But what do you make of Washington? Not

2174
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:19,360
Speaker 2: an easy schedule, interesting start against Boise State should take

2175
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:22,720
Speaker 2: care of business. But I do think they're gonna be

2176
01:50:22,760 --> 01:50:24,680
Speaker 2: in the mix this year. I think they're gonna be

2177
01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 2: in it from start to finish.

2178
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:28,920
Speaker 3: I'm with you. They're deeper defensively this year. Got a

2179
01:50:28,960 --> 01:50:30,920
Speaker 3: lot of guys were turning back on defense. And Pendix,

2180
01:50:30,960 --> 01:50:33,599
Speaker 3: to your point, is an absolute baller and just got

2181
01:50:33,600 --> 01:50:35,760
Speaker 3: better and better as the season went on last year.

2182
01:50:36,080 --> 01:50:39,320
Speaker 3: They should be in contention for a Pac twelve championship

2183
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:41,519
Speaker 3: easily this year. Now, you mentioned they don't have the

2184
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:44,519
Speaker 3: easiest schedule. That is true, but if they look if

2185
01:50:44,520 --> 01:50:46,200
Speaker 3: they can make you through. You have a big games

2186
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:48,360
Speaker 3: against Oregon that's at home. You do have to go

2187
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 3: on the road against USC, but you have Utah at

2188
01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:52,320
Speaker 3: home and they have to go go on the road

2189
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:55,400
Speaker 3: against Oregon State late in the season. Look, they'll certainly

2190
01:50:55,439 --> 01:50:58,439
Speaker 3: have the amount of wins necessary. If they can get

2191
01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:01,839
Speaker 3: you get through this schedule with one, maybe even two losses,

2192
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:04,200
Speaker 3: it's not out of the Roman possibility. We could be

2193
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:06,320
Speaker 3: talking Washington being in the mix for a playoff spot

2194
01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:07,439
Speaker 3: and winning the Pac twelve.

2195
01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:08,680
Speaker 1: At the end of the year. I do believe that.

2196
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:12,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a back to back week stretch in early November,

2197
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 2: which my body and my mind can even fathom right now,

2198
01:51:15,920 --> 01:51:19,960
Speaker 2: which I'm okay with. But that's at USC on November fourth,

2199
01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:23,559
Speaker 2: to turn around and host Utah on November eleven. Now,

2200
01:51:23,600 --> 01:51:25,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what the record's going to look like

2201
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:29,640
Speaker 2: by that point. It's a long way away. But Washington,

2202
01:51:29,880 --> 01:51:31,840
Speaker 2: I guess the best way to put it, You have

2203
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:36,400
Speaker 2: my attention Ohio State in Indiana, and maybe for one.

2204
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 1: Reason, that's also a three point thirty game.

2205
01:51:39,600 --> 01:51:42,639
Speaker 2: I don't know any time in the history of college

2206
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:47,719
Speaker 2: football that the top five teams in college football all

2207
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:52,519
Speaker 2: had starting quarterback issues, and by that I mean they

2208
01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:57,439
Speaker 2: didn't return and starting quarterback. Usually usually if you're a

2209
01:51:57,479 --> 01:52:02,080
Speaker 2: top five team, there's a there's a couple of starters

2210
01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:03,200
Speaker 2: who are who are back.

2211
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:03,360
Speaker 1: Now.

2212
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 2: Of the top five, you only had two teams that

2213
01:52:06,120 --> 01:52:10,080
Speaker 2: were returning starting quarterbacks. Ohio State Alabama had issues at quarterback,

2214
01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:14,280
Speaker 2: or at least questions at quarterback Alabama and Georgia. Carson

2215
01:52:14,280 --> 01:52:17,719
Speaker 2: Back ended up getting the job at Georgia. Milroe gets

2216
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:21,040
Speaker 2: the job at Alabama. And now let's see what Kyle

2217
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:24,160
Speaker 2: McCord has. I reard my buddy Bobby Carpenter talking about this.

2218
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:27,800
Speaker 2: People have created this idea of what Devin Brown is

2219
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:30,840
Speaker 2: and I don't necessarily know if he is that dude.

2220
01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:33,320
Speaker 2: Kyle McCord has shown that he can do it. But

2221
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:35,160
Speaker 2: I think Devin Brown's really good. I think he's going

2222
01:52:35,200 --> 01:52:37,519
Speaker 2: to be a good quarterback. But I think Kle McCord

2223
01:52:37,600 --> 01:52:39,559
Speaker 2: is good. You have some of the best receivers, if

2224
01:52:39,560 --> 01:52:41,439
Speaker 2: not the best receiving room in the country, and the

2225
01:52:41,439 --> 01:52:45,439
Speaker 2: best receiver in Marvin Harrison Junior. I'm talking a lot

2226
01:52:45,479 --> 01:52:47,320
Speaker 2: about a game right now that let me see what

2227
01:52:47,520 --> 01:52:50,320
Speaker 2: last check what was the spread in that Ohio State game?

2228
01:52:50,439 --> 01:52:51,400
Speaker 1: I got thirty one.

2229
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm spending a lot of time on a thirty

2230
01:52:53,960 --> 01:52:57,040
Speaker 2: one point game. That's a three point thirty kick in Indiana.

2231
01:52:57,600 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 2: But when you have a National championship contender breaking in

2232
01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:03,240
Speaker 2: a new quarterback and it's a conference.

2233
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:04,559
Speaker 1: Game, k fig. I want to see it. No, I

2234
01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:05,800
Speaker 1: want to see how it plays out, and I want

2235
01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:07,920
Speaker 1: to see how McCord ends up performing. Because you know,

2236
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:10,360
Speaker 1: they were kind of mum about who the starter would be.

2237
01:53:10,360 --> 01:53:12,320
Speaker 1: They didn't announce this until a couple of days ago,

2238
01:53:12,360 --> 01:53:14,639
Speaker 1: and so you mentioned Devon Brown. A lot of noise

2239
01:53:14,680 --> 01:53:16,760
Speaker 1: coming out that he potentially could be the starter, and

2240
01:53:16,840 --> 01:53:19,639
Speaker 1: mccoort was sort of the incumbent going into the spring.

2241
01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:22,040
Speaker 1: So the fact that it was that close, it would

2242
01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:24,679
Speaker 1: not surprise me if Brown gets his share of snaps

2243
01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:26,880
Speaker 1: and see what happens here in the first couple of weeks.

2244
01:53:27,240 --> 01:53:31,800
Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, absolutely, under the radar, primetime game. That's going

2245
01:53:31,880 --> 01:53:38,519
Speaker 2: to be fun tonight. UTSA and Houston. You hurd me right, Texas,

2246
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:41,439
Speaker 2: San Antonio and Houston. Two cool things about this game.

2247
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:45,360
Speaker 2: Number one, the Houston Cougars are wearing old school Houston

2248
01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:47,599
Speaker 2: OI oiler love you blue jerseys.

2249
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 1: They yeah, yeah, yeah, to see they're pretty sharp. They

2250
01:53:50,160 --> 01:53:50,599
Speaker 1: look good.

2251
01:53:50,840 --> 01:53:52,720
Speaker 2: The only thing I had a problem with was the

2252
01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:55,559
Speaker 2: Houston on the helmet. I felt like they could have

2253
01:53:55,560 --> 01:53:58,600
Speaker 2: gone with a logo or something to pay full tribute.

2254
01:53:58,680 --> 01:54:01,799
Speaker 2: The other part of it is really good. They're starting quarterback.

2255
01:54:01,840 --> 01:54:04,960
Speaker 2: Frank Harris is twenty four years old.

2256
01:54:06,280 --> 01:54:08,479
Speaker 1: Trend in college football these last couple of years.

2257
01:54:08,640 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 2: These guys on real and a prime time at North

2258
01:54:13,040 --> 01:54:18,280
Speaker 2: Carolina and South Carolina. Drake May versus Spencer Rattler. Mac

2259
01:54:18,360 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 2: Brown has been up in arms about it was a

2260
01:54:20,439 --> 01:54:23,479
Speaker 2: tes martin that did not get cleared, which is kind

2261
01:54:23,520 --> 01:54:24,919
Speaker 2: of ridiculous by the NCAA.

2262
01:54:24,920 --> 01:54:26,479
Speaker 1: Will spend some time on that tomorrow night.

2263
01:54:26,760 --> 01:54:29,960
Speaker 2: South Carolina a lot of height because they're recruiting well.

2264
01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:34,080
Speaker 2: They beat what Tennessee last year. They had a lot

2265
01:54:34,120 --> 01:54:36,960
Speaker 2: of positive momentum heading into the offseason. This will be

2266
01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:39,160
Speaker 2: a fun one in Charlotte. Game Day is there this

2267
01:54:39,200 --> 01:54:42,480
Speaker 2: morning for ESPN. And then there's Penn State against West Virginia.

2268
01:54:42,600 --> 01:54:42,960
Speaker 1: I am.

2269
01:54:44,240 --> 01:54:46,480
Speaker 2: I think Penn State has as much talent as they've

2270
01:54:46,480 --> 01:54:48,280
Speaker 2: ever had. There's this guy named Bruce Feldaman and he

2271
01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:51,120
Speaker 2: writes for the Athletic Fox Sports Guy stud He does

2272
01:54:51,160 --> 01:54:54,360
Speaker 2: a lick a list or lick of the top freaks

2273
01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:57,240
Speaker 2: in college football, and he said he literally had to

2274
01:54:58,280 --> 01:55:01,080
Speaker 2: I avoid putting so many Penn State guys. There might

2275
01:55:01,120 --> 01:55:03,800
Speaker 2: be the most talented team that James Franklin has had,

2276
01:55:04,040 --> 01:55:07,080
Speaker 2: and they've got a freshman quarterback and Drew Aller who

2277
01:55:07,120 --> 01:55:08,920
Speaker 2: is a five star. So he is the apple of

2278
01:55:08,960 --> 01:55:13,160
Speaker 2: everyone's eye. That's today, But nothing compares to the primetime

2279
01:55:13,200 --> 01:55:16,120
Speaker 2: game we get on Sunday night because Kevin, I know

2280
01:55:16,120 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 2: about you. I am here for LSU and Florida State

2281
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:23,240
Speaker 2: in round two. After the craziness of last season, after

2282
01:55:23,280 --> 01:55:26,280
Speaker 2: the hype for both teams leading into this season. That's

2283
01:55:26,320 --> 01:55:28,480
Speaker 2: gonna be can't miss football tomorrow night.

2284
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:31,880
Speaker 3: Because even going into last year's game, people are like, well,

2285
01:55:31,880 --> 01:55:34,720
Speaker 3: it's two marquee programs, but they're kind of in semi rebuild.

2286
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:36,120
Speaker 1: The game ends up being amazing.

2287
01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:38,200
Speaker 3: Now, all of a sudden, this is a top ten

2288
01:55:38,280 --> 01:55:42,560
Speaker 3: matchup with potential national title implications, with two quarterbacks who

2289
01:55:42,640 --> 01:55:43,800
Speaker 3: are Heisman favorites.

2290
01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:51,280
Speaker 2: Heisman favorites, got that and it's true. Yeah, it's absolutely true.

2291
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:57,800
Speaker 2: Jalen Daniels, I mean our Jane Daniels, excuse me, absolutely absolutely,

2292
01:55:58,480 --> 01:56:02,680
Speaker 2: one hundred percent is is one of my favorites.

2293
01:56:02,280 --> 01:56:02,800
Speaker 1: For the Heisman.

2294
01:56:02,960 --> 01:56:06,480
Speaker 2: And Jordan Travis. I saw Jordan Travis first hand in

2295
01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:08,840
Speaker 2: the Bowl game last year. It was in Florida State's

2296
01:56:08,840 --> 01:56:11,800
Speaker 2: best performance. But he's one of those guys where everything

2297
01:56:11,840 --> 01:56:14,480
Speaker 2: has fallen apart around him, Kevin, and somehow he still

2298
01:56:14,520 --> 01:56:15,320
Speaker 2: finds a way to make.

2299
01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:17,000
Speaker 1: A play, no doubt. Love that kid. You saw it

2300
01:56:17,120 --> 01:56:18,240
Speaker 1: in the Florida game last year.

2301
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:21,720
Speaker 2: There is a laundry list of the games to keep

2302
01:56:21,720 --> 01:56:25,960
Speaker 2: an eye on today and tomorrow, and don't sleep on

2303
01:56:26,040 --> 01:56:28,400
Speaker 2: Monday night, Clemson. Do I think that has a chance

2304
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:30,400
Speaker 2: to be a really good game when we come back?

2305
01:56:30,480 --> 01:56:35,240
Speaker 2: Some final thoughts including a wild story, A wild story

2306
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:40,040
Speaker 2: involving a cash ring and backyard volleyball matches.

2307

2338
01:58:30,080 --> 01:58:32,360
Speaker 2: All right, I wanted to get this story in. I

2339
01:58:32,440 --> 01:58:36,880
Speaker 2: heard actually I heard Mike Harmon bring this up, and

2340
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:38,280
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, and I don't know if you

2341
01:58:38,320 --> 01:58:41,000
Speaker 2: ever paid off to tease. So I had to dig

2342
01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:45,880
Speaker 2: a little bit and find it. I had basketball games

2343
01:58:45,880 --> 01:58:49,240
Speaker 2: that I played with my buddies in our backyard where

2344
01:58:49,280 --> 01:58:51,360
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, you've beating us twice, let's put five

2345
01:58:51,360 --> 01:58:53,280
Speaker 2: bucks on this game, right, younger.

2346
01:58:53,600 --> 01:58:54,520
Speaker 1: Crazy whatever.

2347
01:58:55,200 --> 01:59:00,480
Speaker 2: Well, apparently in the town of Milford, massach use Its,

2348
01:59:00,920 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 2: they've taken it to another level. Police and Milford have

2349
01:59:04,520 --> 01:59:12,440
Speaker 2: uncovered a massive illegal gambling ring centered around backyard volleyball tournaments.

2350
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:15,960
Speaker 2: You're right, and we're not talking about five to ten

2351
01:59:16,040 --> 01:59:17,320
Speaker 2: to fifteen to twenty bucks.

2352
01:59:17,360 --> 01:59:17,960
Speaker 1: No, no, no.

2353
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:23,560
Speaker 2: The estimates the police have are around one million dollars

2354
01:59:23,680 --> 01:59:27,920
Speaker 2: each year changed hands at the home. Organizers set up

2355
01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:33,760
Speaker 2: the operation where the volleyball games, picnic tables, and a

2356
01:59:33,880 --> 01:59:35,600
Speaker 2: concession stand.

2357
01:59:35,920 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 1: That sold fried food and booze.

2358
01:59:39,680 --> 01:59:44,360
Speaker 2: The deputy police chief, Robbie Casino said, quote that was

2359
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:44,960
Speaker 2: blown away.

2360
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 1: I even said to the owner.

2361
01:59:46,720 --> 01:59:48,840
Speaker 2: After the fact, I got to tell you, I thought

2362
01:59:48,840 --> 01:59:51,520
Speaker 2: I was walking into Foxwoods, which by the way, is

2363
01:59:51,560 --> 01:59:56,000
Speaker 2: a massive casino in Connecticut. Here's the funnier part. The

2364
01:59:56,080 --> 02:00:00,200
Speaker 2: tournaments were less than a block from police headquarters, and

2365
02:00:00,280 --> 02:00:04,600
Speaker 2: police had reportedly been monitoring the situation for months after

2366
02:00:04,760 --> 02:00:08,720
Speaker 2: neighbors had regularly complained about traffic and noise coming from

2367
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:13,720
Speaker 2: the home. A neighbor told a Boston news station, there's

2368
02:00:13,720 --> 02:00:17,040
Speaker 2: about one hundred people there every night. There's a lot

2369
02:00:17,080 --> 02:00:20,160
Speaker 2: of people there. It's illegal. You can't do it here.

2370
02:00:20,400 --> 02:00:22,840
Speaker 2: They got a place for it. It's not in the

2371
02:00:22,880 --> 02:00:29,000
Speaker 2: backyard of a house. So according to this report, participants

2372
02:00:29,040 --> 02:00:32,960
Speaker 2: would bet on everything from volleyball to card games. The

2373
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:35,880
Speaker 2: tournaments attracted teams from afar as way from as far

2374
02:00:35,920 --> 02:00:41,360
Speaker 2: away as South Carolina, and gamblers wagered up to thirty

2375
02:00:41,480 --> 02:00:46,080
Speaker 2: thousand dollars per night. It's gone from something that was

2376
02:00:46,160 --> 02:00:51,480
Speaker 2: wholesome and pure to a criminal element. Police arrested a

2377
02:00:51,480 --> 02:00:55,920
Speaker 2: woman named Zolia Castro, charged her with selling liquor without

2378
02:00:55,920 --> 02:01:01,360
Speaker 2: a license, which is hilarious, and believes there will be

2379
02:01:01,680 --> 02:01:07,839
Speaker 2: six similar tournaments around the community that police will try.

2380
02:01:07,640 --> 02:01:08,440
Speaker 1: To shut down.

2381
02:01:09,960 --> 02:01:15,280
Speaker 2: Who knew, Kevin figures, who knew volleyball could be so profitable?

2382
02:01:15,840 --> 02:01:18,280
Speaker 3: I mean, you talk about next level degenerate gambling. I mean,

2383
02:01:18,320 --> 02:01:20,160
Speaker 3: that's that's ridiculous.

2384
02:01:20,600 --> 02:01:24,280
Speaker 2: We were talking about the ultimate gambling earlier, gambling with

2385
02:01:24,320 --> 02:01:28,840
Speaker 2: my pride that took place here tonight thanks to Hawaii's implosion.

2386
02:01:29,080 --> 02:01:32,760
Speaker 2: And listen, I'm watching this Georgia Tech game on replay

2387
02:01:32,840 --> 02:01:35,160
Speaker 2: right now. I still have no idea how they lost

2388
02:01:35,200 --> 02:01:37,360
Speaker 2: that game. I still have no idea how Georgia Tech

2389
02:01:37,400 --> 02:01:40,440
Speaker 2: lost that game. But here we are, all right, what

2390
02:01:40,480 --> 02:01:43,440
Speaker 2: do you think about Colorado TCU close game?

2391
02:01:43,480 --> 02:01:45,120
Speaker 1: Blowout? What do you see here in that new and

2392
02:01:45,120 --> 02:01:47,360
Speaker 1: Eastern kick and fort ward? I'm really thinking blowout. I

2393
02:01:47,360 --> 02:01:50,200
Speaker 1: believe TCU is a twenty and a half point favorite.

2394
02:01:50,760 --> 02:01:52,720
Speaker 1: Right if I again, if I were a gambling man

2395
02:01:52,760 --> 02:01:55,400
Speaker 1: and I am not, I think I'm taking TCU to cover.

2396
02:01:55,840 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a long year for Colorado.

2397
02:01:58,080 --> 02:02:01,200
Speaker 2: All of my locks, all all of the games that

2398
02:02:01,240 --> 02:02:04,520
Speaker 2: I thought would hit, they were all yesterday and none

2399
02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:09,919
Speaker 2: of them did so. Right, Yeah, it means I'm due.

2400
02:02:10,120 --> 02:02:14,200
Speaker 2: I really like Colorado uh to cover here. But in

2401
02:02:14,240 --> 02:02:17,520
Speaker 2: a game that it's kind of a backdoor cover, like

2402
02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:19,920
Speaker 2: maybe it's a four score game and then all of

2403
02:02:19,960 --> 02:02:22,800
Speaker 2: a sudden in the fourth quarter, you know, Colorado is

2404
02:02:22,800 --> 02:02:23,400
Speaker 2: able to get a.

2405
02:02:23,320 --> 02:02:24,240
Speaker 1: Couple of cheapies.

2406
02:02:24,760 --> 02:02:28,560
Speaker 2: I think what's gonna be most interesting and I say

2407
02:02:28,560 --> 02:02:31,520
Speaker 2: this as a fan. I think coach Prime's gonna have success.

2408
02:02:31,560 --> 02:02:35,440
Speaker 2: I think Dion's gonna do well at Colorado, but he's

2409
02:02:35,480 --> 02:02:37,720
Speaker 2: gonna suck for him. They're gonna get beat They're gonna

2410
02:02:37,840 --> 02:02:39,920
Speaker 2: beat a lot this year. So how do they handle

2411
02:02:39,960 --> 02:02:41,960
Speaker 2: that adversity. I think that's gonna be one of the

2412
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:45,160
Speaker 2: most fascinating things, and we'll be able to recap it

2413
02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:48,840
Speaker 2: tomorrow night right here on Fox Sports Radio. One other game,

2414
02:02:50,040 --> 02:02:52,520
Speaker 2: one other game that the number just I I don't

2415
02:02:52,560 --> 02:02:57,960
Speaker 2: know why I can't stop thinking that this is easy money,

2416
02:02:58,560 --> 02:03:01,360
Speaker 2: but the fact that Northexas is a six and a

2417
02:03:01,440 --> 02:03:05,520
Speaker 2: half point dog at home against a cal team that

2418
02:03:05,560 --> 02:03:09,360
Speaker 2: we don't know anything about. Listen, I know North Texas

2419
02:03:09,360 --> 02:03:11,520
Speaker 2: as a new coach, but maybe plus six and a

2420
02:03:11,560 --> 02:03:14,120
Speaker 2: half where North Texas might not be a bad wager today,

2421
02:03:14,200 --> 02:03:17,560
Speaker 2: I don't agree. Kfig have a great show coming up next, man,

2422
