And 67 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: by the way, can I just say one thing about 68 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: the NFL before we get into some of this college football. 69 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 4: I have a thought too I want to use. 70 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 2: So, you know, after watching the Bears do what they 71 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 2: did to the Eagles yesterday, and you know, all year 72 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 2: long we've got teams like the Patriots and the Bears, 73 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: and they talk about strength to schedule, and I keep 74 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: hearing this, who have they beaten? 75 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: And my answer to that is, who has anybody beaten? 76 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 4: Right? 77 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: I mean, the Rams are hot right now, so in 78 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: the moment, the Rams are hot, but give me a 79 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: quality win. I mean, the parody of the NFL has 80 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: never been to this extreme really, so when you look 81 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: at the Bills and the Chiefs and the Eagles and 82 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: the Ravens and you're like, what's going on? There's no 83 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: difference between these teams. Either you show up and play 84 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: a good game or you don't and you get beat. 85 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: And that is what we've seen in the NFL. So 86 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 3: you like parody. 87 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 4: I love parody. I do. 88 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 5: I'm not ready to call it quits on the Chiefs dynasty. 89 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: You're not no to realize it's not over. 90 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it was tough going well. 91 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: I I look at I said this after and Bo 92 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: can attest to this after they got blown out by 93 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 2: the Eagles on the Super Bowl. I actually said, Patrick 94 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: Mahomes has played in his last Super Bowl. 95 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 3: That's it. 96 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: Wow, that is I mean, it's it's it finished. I mean, 97 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: you know he had it was a perfect storm with 98 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: Andy Reid and he had a lot of weapons around him. 99 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: It's over. 100 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: I mean they're just not. 101 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 2: They're getting older and they got the pay guys and 102 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: let guys go. You can only kick the can down 103 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: the road so many times when the salary caps in place. 104 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,559 Speaker 2: He will never play in another Super Bowl. It doesn't 105 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: affect his legacy. He's not going to catch talking. 106 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 4: He'll be back in the Super Bowl. 107 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: Where when when? 108 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 4: How it might not you know, it might be like 109 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 4: the like a couple of years and then the return. 110 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think the Chiefs had their run. 111 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: I it would be like like Troy Aikman, you know, 112 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 2: with the Cowboys, and they won three Super Bowls in 113 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 2: four years, and they were a relatively young team and 114 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden they missed out and it 115 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 2: was over. 116 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 5: Well, remember when I think of it, like when Kobe 117 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 5: Bryant was left with the Lakers and no Shaq, and 118 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 5: you know they early on and then everyone was wondering 119 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 5: would Kobe ever get back to the NBA Finals? 120 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 4: Could he win without Shaq? And he did? You know, 121 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 4: there was a gap. 122 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: That's a great announy. 123 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: I like that. I like I was in the midst 124 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 2: of all that. As a matter of fact, I remember 125 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 2: I remember in that run there, so we were the 126 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 2: Lakers stations, so you know, we had four as a 127 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 2: very big bond with Kobe during that period. And I 128 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: remember before the start of what was the seven eight season, 129 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: which ultimately completely flip when they made the midseason trade 130 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 2: to get Pau Gasol, and they did end up in 131 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 2: the NBA Finals. Kobe won it out. 132 00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 4: Oh he sure didn't. 133 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,239 Speaker 3: And he basically mixed a trade. 134 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: With the Bulls because one of the players that the 135 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: Lakers wanted in return was Louell Dang And he was like, no, no, no, no, no, 136 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: I can't. I gotta got that. I have to have that. 137 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 3: Guy was like what. 138 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: But on the opening game out of Staples Center, as 139 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 2: it was then known, I was doing this face to 140 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: face with Kobe and I said to him, I always 141 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: look I loved Kobe. I just looked, so I said, 142 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: you know, there is somebody that has the answer for you. 143 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 2: He goes, who's that? I go, the guy that looks 144 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 2: at you in the mirror every day? 145 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: Oh wow, okay, hello. 146 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: And as we're talking, I had no idea that some 147 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: network cameras were in the locker room film is. They're like, 148 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: there's Kobe in deep conversation. I'm like, actually, he wasn't. 149 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 2: It was on some stupid thing. I said, am, But 150 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: you're right, okay. And by the way, Tom Brady won 151 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 2: the first three Super Bowls and then it was ten 152 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: years before he won his four Super Bowl and then 153 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: he won his fifth and sixth. 154 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 3: That's there are example. 155 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 4: I think Mahomes will be back. 156 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 5: Okay, how do you feel about the elevated halftime shows 157 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 5: we're getting on these? 158 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 7: Uh? 159 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: Our dear friend Ben Mahler and I were old school guys. Look, 160 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: I'm not into all that entertainment stuff. I just not. 161 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: If I'm watching a football game, I want to see 162 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: a football game. If I'm watching a basketball game, I 163 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: want to watch a basketball game. I've never been into 164 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: halftime shows ever. 165 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 4: I did like the eminem and Jack White one in Detroit. 166 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 4: That was fun. 167 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 168 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 169 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 5: The Beyonce one at Christmas last year was a lot 170 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 5: that felt like a Super Bowl halftime show. 171 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: But it's not something I usually halftime means I'm going 172 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 2: to get something to eat or you know, I'm not 173 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,119 Speaker 2: really watching thirds, right, And then I'm upset on Super 174 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 2: Bowl because the halftimes are so long. 175 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 3: I'm like, can we get back to the game. But 176 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 3: do you like halftimes? 177 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 4: I think at some point it gets a little out 178 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 4: of hand, right. 179 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: Well, we have a lot of halftimes here over the 180 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: last you know what, Thanksgiving, right, you know, Friday. 181 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 5: Chos Malone and I like concerts, but at some point, 182 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 5: you know it is a game. 183 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, like I say, if I want to go 184 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: to a concert, I will go to a concert. I 185 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: love music. I have a lot of you know, tons 186 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: of concerts over the years, and there's a place for that. 187 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: And when I'm watching sports, I like to watch. 188 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 6: Steve are you? Are you just saying that you're bummed 189 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 6: you only got to see fifteen seconds a little John 190 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 6: in Baltimore. 191 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 5: That's what he's what you're latching out exactly. You are 192 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 5: reading between the lines. 193 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 2: I don't even know you're talking about. 194 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 4: I'm done. I'm done. 195 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 3: You literally have no idea how to talk about. 196 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: But that's okay. No, I mean, look at what. 197 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 4: Do you guys think? Do you guys like the halftime shows? 198 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 6: No, personally, I don't really care. I mean I didn't 199 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 6: see the Jack White halftime show because I was trying 200 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 6: to get a three year old ready to go have 201 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 6: Thanksgiving dinner. 202 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 4: How was that? 203 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 6: Oh it's fine, Yeah, but no, I don't doesn't really 204 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 6: move me, doesn't move the needle. Like last year, it 205 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 6: was cool that Kendrick Lamar did it, but I didn't 206 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 6: care because I was trying to watch the Eagles undress 207 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 6: the Chiefs. So I just wanted that to end and 208 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 6: get back to the game. 209 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 4: How'd you feel about that? Eagles? 210 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 6: Oh, I'm sure we'll get to it, but not great. 211 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 212 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 2: Well, I mean you can see now he is heavily 213 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 2: into the Rams right now. Rams have always been his 214 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: sort of his other team. I wouldn't say second team. 215 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 2: I'll see his other team. 216 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's fair. 217 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 2: And you know, and it really depends. Look, I said 218 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: before the season, bo, you know this, before the season began, 219 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 2: I picked the Eagles, and I said, if there's any 220 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 2: team that could challenge him in the NFC, if Matthew 221 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: Stafford can stay healthy. If and that was a big if, 222 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: member he had all the back problems before the season began. 223 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 4: It's on a table, right, I might, but if. 224 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 3: He is there, the Rams are the prime challenger. 225 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 2: Well, not only has he been healthy right now, he's 226 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: running away with that MVP Award thirty. He has twenty 227 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: seve haven't touchdown passes since he threw his last pick. 228 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 4: I want to know what's up with Philly's offense? 229 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 2: Nothing? Right, I mean, look, they have struggled all year 230 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: long to run the football. I mean, Sakwan Barkley bears 231 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: no resemblance to the guy we saw last year at all. 232 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: And then we have the tush push and they can't 233 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: even they can't even execute that anymore. You know a 234 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: lot of people have been saying about this tushpush that 235 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: there have been other times where there have been fumbles 236 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: on that play and because it's such a you know, 237 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: like a scrum and so many bodies, it's hard to 238 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: detect where the ball actually is. And this time they 239 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: actually gave it to the Bears. That was a huge play, 240 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 2: and the Eagles just never recovered. So look again, what's 241 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 2: happening now? We could be talking completely differently in four weeks, right, 242 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 2: you know. That's that's the thing. A lot of football 243 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 2: to be played, a lot of college football to be played. 244 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 3: So this is the rivalry day. 245 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 2: Now. Remind everyone, Nikki, were you went to college? 246 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 5: I am in great company here as a fellow Bruin. 247 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 4: Yes, and we do have the good old USC. 248 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 5: So okay, here here's something I always think about struggling 249 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 5: football programs. If if we beat USC today? Yes, yes, 250 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 5: is that some glimmer of you know this? 251 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 7: This? 252 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I think the Jerry newheisl narrative has been 253 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 5: excellent for our for this season. Was it was a 254 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 5: game for three games. I mean, and excellent is a 255 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 5: strong word, but that was a ray of light. It 256 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 5: was if UCLA were to beat the Trojans, I think 257 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 5: that's another little shimmer. 258 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you this, USC is a three touchdown favorite. Now, 259 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: any rivalry game out there, you're listening, you know these 260 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 2: rivalry games are right, you can have a huge underdog, 261 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 2: but it's a rivalry game. 262 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 3: Anything can happen a rivalry game. 263 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 2: And Nikki, the last time that SC was a basically 264 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: a three touchdown favorite against UCLA was two thousand and six. 265 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 2: Final score UCLA thirteen, SC nine. And that was a 266 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 2: much better USC team. That team was ranked number two 267 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 2: in the country going into that game, and UCLA pulled 268 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: off a stunning upset. Now it was at the Rose Bowl, 269 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: but thirteen to nine is twenty one point underdog, so 270 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 2: it's not like it's never happened before. It could happen again. 271 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: Believe you gotta believe, you gotta believe. No, no, no, no. 272 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 4: Hey, let us have for ted Lasso moment and you'll 273 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 4: thank you. 274 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 6: I'm unfortunately outnumbered today since my normal tech producer is 275 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 6: not here, so I will have to disagree with your 276 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 6: guys take on UCLA. 277 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 2: Well, look at they have no chance.

And it has to do 334 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: with the pageantry, it has to do with the history. 335 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: There's just a lot of different factors on why college 336 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 2: football is a passion for me, and I am lucky enough. 337 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 2: This will be the sixteenth year that I have been 338 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: able to vote for the Heisman Trophy. It's not easy 339 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: to get one of those votes, and nowadays apparently it's 340 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 2: a little hard to keep that vote. I actually got 341 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 2: for the first time. NICKI an email from the Heisman 342 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 2: Trust congratulate me that I I'm going to be a 343 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 2: selector in twenty twenty five, And I'm like, yeah, why 344 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: wouldn't I be a selector in twenty twenty five. But 345 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 2: they're trying to crack down on people that really don't 346 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 2: follow college football. 347 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 3: The good guys, the casualsaed them out exactly. 348 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 2: That's good news. Is the guy that is sort of 349 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 2: the head PR guy for the Heisman Trust, Tim Henning, 350 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 2: is someone I know. I'm a couple of times when 351 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: I went to New York, well I had to because 352 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: I was in New York. I wanted to make sure 353 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 2: I touch base with this guy. So I was there 354 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 2: for a couple I went on a summer trip with 355 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: my boys, and then I was there for a visit 356 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 2: to NYU with my daughter, her senior or of high 357 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 2: school anyway, so I went in to see this guy, 358 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 2: you know, just touch base. So I want to make 359 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: sure I'm good with the guy. But here's what's happening, Nikki. Now, 360 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 2: with the Ohio State taking care of business against Michigan, 361 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: obviously yesterday Indiana Blue ouperdue. We have a game next weekend. 362 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 2: The Big Ten championship game Indianneapolis number one, Ohio State 363 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: number two, Indiana, the only two undefeated teams left, both 364 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: twelve and zero, the top two rated quarterbacks in the country. 365 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: Julian's saying for Ohio State for Nana, Mendoza for Indiana. 366 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 2: So this game is literally for everything. 367 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 5: Okay, So coming into week fourteen, Mendoza the favorite for 368 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 5: the Heisman. I think the odds are, you know, minus 369 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 5: one twenty five saying plus four hundred correct. 370 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 2: But that's before he threw three touchdown passes today against Michigan. 371 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 5: So that was coming into today, is there? I mean, 372 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 5: I think in a de facto had to head matchup, 373 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 5: saying if he reigns supreme Ohio State wins, I think 374 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 5: that flips the Heisman. 375 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 2: I would say that. Here's the thing about Mendoza, all right, 376 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 2: So obviously Indiana has never had a Heisman Trophy winner, 377 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 2: so that plays in his favor. You know, I will 378 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 2: say this, I think that if it is a competitive game, 379 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 2: if it's back and forth, unless Mendoza throws three picks 380 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 2: and has a complete meltdown. But let's a it's a 381 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 2: very tight game, and there isn't a great differential in 382 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 2: the stats we say in a Mendoza, I think Mendoza 383 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 2: because of Indiana getting to this level. Now I know 384 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 2: where they were a year ago, but this year completely different. 385 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 2: I mean, engineered a road win against Oregon that was 386 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 2: a huge, obviously win for Indiana earlier this year. So yeah, 387 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 2: I would say that even if Indiana loses, Mendoza still 388 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 2: would have a chance to win the Heisman. Now, you know, 389 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 2: Jeremiah Love, There's obviously other good players. 390 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 3: In the country. 391 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 2: But let's face it, folks, there's only one of two 392 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 2: guys that's going to win the Heisman this year. It's 393 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: either going to be Jillian Saying or it's going to 394 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 2: be Fernando Mendoza. 395 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 5: And we have the Wisconsin Minnesota game on the screen, 396 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 5: and I just I love snow football. 397 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 4: Could you imagine if that was UCLA playing there? 398 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that. You know I've asked this question that. 399 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 4: Could have been a very could have been in reality. 400 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, Look I have I've asked many players over 401 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 2: the years. I'm going to give you five extremes. So 402 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 2: I'll give you a weather and go to the extreme, 403 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: and what is the hardest and what is the easiest extreme? 404 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: Snow extreme rain, extreme wind, extreme heat, or extreme cold, 405 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 2: and everyone will tell you the easiest of those is snow. 406 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 2: No question, that's the easiest because it's not frozen. You know, 407 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 2: it's cold obviously, but it's not frozen, and it's not 408 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 2: like uh wind right wind can be a nightmare in 409 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 2: a game. 410 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 3: Again in an extreme situation. 411 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: So for the most part, we have fun watching games 412 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: in the snow, but the players have fun playing in 413 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 2: the snow. 414 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 4: Yep, yep. The Jamis Winston. 415 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 5: I saw Jamis this year and I asked him, Yeah, 416 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 5: you know, he had never been around snow, and so 417 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 5: he and his son learned how to build a snowman together. 418 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 4: It was awesome. 419 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, their first one was it left something to be desired, 420 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 5: and then they really got They got after and dedicated 421 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 5: themselves to the craft of snowman making. 422 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 4: I love Jamis. 423 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 2: I'm obviously born here in southern cal I've lived my 424 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 2: entire life in southern California, and I'm not a snow guy. 425 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: It's not that I am adverse to it, because it's 426 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 2: different and I so rarely have seen it over the 427 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: course of my lifetime.

I 484 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 2: think that a shot, of course, with a true freshman 485 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 2: quarterback against the number one defense in the country. 486 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 10: All of the things that you say, you could say 487 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 10: all of these things about Ohio State is two of 488 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 10: them last year, and last year Michigan had a fifth 489 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 10: year senior quarterback who somehow passed for less yards that 490 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 10: Bryce Underwood did today. 491 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, but saying is better than the quarterback Ohio State 492 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 2: had last year. He's more talented, sure whatever, and in 493 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 2: the NFL he was last year. 494 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 9: Yes, sidelined against Ohio against Michigan. 495 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: But you also left out the main reason Ohio State 496 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 2: looked better offensively. 497 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 3: They didn't have. 498 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 2: Chip Kelly calling plays like they did last year with 499 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 2: his debacle call against Michigan. 500 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 10: I mean, the main reason Ohio State looks better this 501 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 10: year is because Michigan didn't stop the run? 502 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 4: Is chipp don done by the way? 503 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 9: Done done? 504 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 3: Yeah? 505 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's done done, and he doesn't care. He really 506 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 2: doesn't care. He was making six million this year with 507 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 2: the Raiders highest paid offensive coordinator in the history of 508 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: the NFL. 509 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 3: Just ridiculous. 510 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: Well, I you know, uh, you didn't put a lot 511 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 2: of pressure on saying I or where's the pass rush? 512 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 2: You need an Aiden Hutchinson on that defense, I. 513 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 10: Mean between but all of that even not getting saying 514 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 10: if they just stopped the run in the third quarter, Yeah, 515 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 10: and like that's. 516 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 2: Been the key for Michigan. How do you stop Bou Jackson? 517 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 10: You know, the same way you stopped Travon Henderson and 518 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 10: quitch On Judkins last year. Like if you just look 519 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 10: at the offensive Rookie of the Year odds to save 520 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,239 Speaker 10: Tyler Warren and I'll forget Jackson Dart they all went 521 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 10: to Ohio State.

Yeah, like 546 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 10: it's just twenty seven to nine score. Sharon Moore is just. 547 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 2: It's just not there.

You know 590 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 10: you got to be the fourth best team in the league. 591 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, actually at least at least he's got 592 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 5: him fourth out of five. 593 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 594 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: I was like, okay, all right, once again, here we 595 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 2: are another edition. 596 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 3: Of Fox Football Saturday. 597 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 2: So now we have a bit of a clear picture 598 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 2: on what's going to transpire next week. Nikki, as far 599 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: as these conferenceampionship games is concerned. Now, yesterday, I mean, 600 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 2: how about Texas A and M Right, they were undefeated, 601 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 2: ranked number three in the country, rolling along. They got 602 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 2: their last rivalry game against Texas. Not only do they 603 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 2: lose the game, but they are eliminated from the SEC 604 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 2: Championship game. So the way it worked as a potential 605 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: tie between Georgia and Alabama, Old Miss and Texas A 606 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 2: and M, and they lose all the tie breaks because 607 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 2: of strength to schedule or something like that. So A 608 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 2: and M is out. That means that if Alabama beats 609 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 2: Auburn and the Iron Bowl today, Alabama will play Georgia 610 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 2: in the SEC Championship game exactly. But if Alabama should 611 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 2: lose n Aubourn has upset them before, oh Miss will 612 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 2: be in the SEC Championship game. And then the question 613 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: is will Lane Kiffin be at the game? So I'm 614 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 2: going to ask you about Lane Kiffin here for a second. 615 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 2: All right, So if you're a Lane Kiffen, if you're 616 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: advising Lane Kiffen, and here are your options stay at 617 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 2: Ole Miss, both to either LSU or Florida or maybe 618 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: a return to the NFL. The obvious team would be 619 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 2: the Giants because they're looking for a new head coach 620 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,239 Speaker 2: and his former Mississippi quarterback Jackson Dart is there. So 621 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 2: if you were to advise Lane Kiffen on what the 622 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 2: best move for him would be right now, you would tell. 623 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 4: Him what I'm telling him LSU. 624 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 5: But you know what, there's something about Lane Kiffen that 625 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 5: is college football that man, I cannot envision him in 626 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 5: the NFL. 627 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 2: Well, he was in the NFL briefly with the ring 628 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 2: right right right as he was entered. Actually technically that 629 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 2: was Lance Kiffin because that's how Al Davis. 630 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 5: This iteration of Lane Kiffer right where he has become. 631 00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 5: He's a great personality and I enjoy his pre conference bit, 632 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 5: his you know, I think here has a lot of 633 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 5: fun with the sport, and I think he's a great 634 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 5: character and the sport of college football needs him. I'm 635 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 5: telling him to go to LSU. You're king in that 636 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 5: in that neck of the woods. 637 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 3: Who whoa, whoa whoa. 638 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 2: Brian Kelly was king. I mean, he left Notre Dame 639 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 2: to go to LSU because he felt like there were 640 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: limitations at Notre Dame that prevented him from winning a 641 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 2: national championship. He knew there would not be similar Lemons 642 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 2: screens LSU at LSU, And the next thing you know 643 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 2: they're handing him fifty million dollars to walk out the door. 644 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 3: I mean, if you're laying kivin, understand this. 645 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 2: If you don't win a national championship, you get an 646 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 2: f at LSU. And it's not like LSU is Alabama 647 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 2: by any stretch. But Nick Saban won a championship there. 648 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 2: You know at Orgeron Last Miles. All these guys have 649 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: won one championship at LSU. To me with Lane Kiffin, 650 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 2: that's a lateral move. 651 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 4: So where are you telling him to go? 652 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 2: I would tell him to go to the NFL. Interesting 653 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 2: because you've already proven. Look what he's done at Ole Miss. 654 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: That's four double digit win seasons at ole Miss. He's 655 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: already done an incredible job. But going to Florida where 656 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 2: they're expecting you to show up and win a national 657 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 2: championship immediately the same thing at LSU just another SEC school. 658 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 2: It's not like Alabama. I mean, if Alabama was available, yeah, hell, 659 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 2: I'll jump on that one. But if I'm Lane Kiffin, 660 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 2: his first life head coaching job was the Raiders job. 661 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 2: It was short lived, it was a year plus. 662 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 9: What why do you keep. 663 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 2: Saying that LS who's not alable rightly. 664 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 3: What I was trying to what is their history LSU? 665 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 10: I mean LSU in the last twenty five years has 666 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 10: won a national championship with three different head coaches. 667 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: And after those, after those championships, then what they were 668 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 2: like the Auburn's very similar to LSU. Every once in 669 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,959 Speaker 2: a while a national championship. You want to look at 670 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 2: their records, they're very very similar. DARBN has these breakout 671 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 2: seasons where they have an undefeated record to win a 672 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 2: national championship, and that's l s U. 673 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 4: Man. 674 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 10: But the one they said LSU was putting into the 675 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 10: resources that LSU was putting into their football program. 676 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 9: Dwarfs elebent. 677 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 2: You telling me Brian okay so and Brian Kelly win because. 678 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 10: He wasn't because he didn't know that he's not he's 679 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 10: not up from there's a quality coach, but he's got 680 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 10: to be able to recruit. 681 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 2: If you just recruit Louisiana, you will win ten games. 682 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 2: This is a different recruiting you to do that. Look 683 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 2: at everything is changed in college football as far as recruiting. 684 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 4: I don't think, which is why Nick Samon said. 685 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 2: I've had enough of this because now you got this 686 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 2: transfer portal. That's the worst thing. Everybody he talks about 687 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 2: ni L money. Okay, fine, pay the players. It's this 688 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 2: transfer portal you bring in it like USC right right, you. 689 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 4: Got doing well in the in this era. 690 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 2: He is because he knows how to navigate the transfer portal. 691 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 3: But you still have to keep players. That's the whole point. 692 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 3: It's like a complete flip of your entire roster. 693 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 2: You could do this maybe in college basketball, but flipping 694 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 2: ten or twelve spots and then bringing in players from multitude. 695 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 2: Even Lane Kivin himself said the first year he did 696 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 2: a major job, and look, it's worked for him at 697 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 2: ol Miss. But he said, when people said, well, you 698 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 2: got twenty five transfers coming in, how's that going to 699 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 2: work for you? Goes hell, I don't know. They're coming 700 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 2: from like twenty five different programs, isn't it. I got 701 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 2: one year to put all the pieces together and make 702 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 2: it fit. 703 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 6: Isn't it easier to keep players if you're coaching at 704 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 6: LSU versus coaching at Miss? 705 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 4: Why eyes, I don't know how to LSU. 706 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 6: Guys are gonna leave. Guys are gonna leave LSU for 707 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 6: for anyone else. 708 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 2: Really, I'm sorry, did Caleb downs lead to leave Alabama to. 709 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 6: Go Yeah, that was a coaching change. 710 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 2: You know, Well now we have another coaching. 711 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 6: Leave Alabama too, Nick Saban retired. I tail it out 712 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 6: of there. 713 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 2: So you think that I think Wwayne kiffn going to LSU. 714 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 3: They just rattle off national championships. 715 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 2: No, I don't. 716 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 10: Think championships anywhere. But I think if you're asking where 717 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 10: do you go blank slate, there's a better shot of 718 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 10: winning a national championship. I think LSU was shown in 719 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 10: the last thirty years they have a better shot at 720 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 10: doing So. 721 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 2: Why don't you go to Florida? 722 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 9: Then? 723 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 2: Like good? 724 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 10: Like I just said, LSU was shown the last thirty years, 725 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 10: they have a better shot at the. 726 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:32,720 Speaker 2: Tip outside of the three national one eads for Saban, 727 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 2: Miles and Origeeron. I mean, obviously the twenty nineteen team 728 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 2: was artably there, Steve outside. 729 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,880 Speaker 9: Of the play, how was how was everything else? Missus Lincoln? 730 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 2: Okay, So why can't they recruit like they did when 731 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 2: they had literally every great receiver in the NFL? It 732 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 2: was Brian Kelly. The family started out bad and ended bad. 733 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 11: Yeah, exactly, Like do you like look at the players 734 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 11: from like Leakue neighbors, was that this like he played 735 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 11: at Brian Kelly's LSU Like, it's not like we're missing 736 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 11: guys like ls Who is missing guys? 737 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 5: Like? 738 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 10: Look at the best receivers in the NFL, they all 739 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 10: are from Louisiana or Ohio State. 740 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 3: All right, well do you believe guys? 741 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 2: I mean again, if Alabama wins today, they're in the 742 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 2: SEC championship game in Mississippi, season is over except for 743 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 2: going into the playoffs.

But the idea 790 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 2: I have had to paint all these different courts in 791 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 2: these solid which looks awful on television. Yeah, awful. 792 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 5: I was talking to one of the assistant coaches on 793 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,320 Speaker 5: one of the teams and he's like, yeah, watching film 794 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 5: with a red court, your eyes get it's they take 795 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 5: a beating. 796 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 2: Somebody came up with this idea. I'm sure it was 797 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 2: Adam Silber, but it's awful. But yes, I heard that 798 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 2: the court was a little bit hazardous. 799 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 4: Yes, it's so long, story short. 800 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 5: The Lakers had to send their court back because it 801 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 5: was too slippery, and I'm sure it had to do. 802 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 4: With the color. 803 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 5: Being up being there, up close and personal.

I actually haven't personally attended any 808 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 2: of these NBA Cup games. On TV, you can't even 809 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 2: watch those games with the colors of these courts. 810 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 4: Okay, what's your do or don't? All right? 811 00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 2: My don't is this. Don't believe that if USC beats 812 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 2: UCLA that Lincoln Riley is safe.

But eight and 819 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 2: three going into this game, and they're huge favorites. They 820 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 2: should beat UCLA. Nine and three, Right, nine and three 821 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 2: not terrible. 822 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:35,359 Speaker 3: That's not what you paid for. 823 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 2: The fact is is that Lincoln Riley's record in his 824 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 2: first four years of USC is similar to Clay Hilton's 825 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 2: record after four years at USC, and they paid Clay 826 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 2: Helton a lot less money. 827 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,359 Speaker 5: Do you remember the noise the Trojan fan base made 828 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 5: when they when they brought in Lincoln Riley. 829 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 2: Everyone thought, well, look at it was very similar to 830 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 2: the noise UCLA fans had one they brought in Chip Kelly. 831 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 3: Wow, we got Chip Kelly. 832 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 2: I ever him at Oregon he was in the NFL. 833 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 2: Oh more insufferable well, it is because he's getting paid 834 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,600 Speaker 2: a whole lot more money Lincoln Riley. And I've said 835 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 2: this about Lincoln Rilly many times. He's like a poor 836 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 2: man's Cliff Kingsbury. Like he's a guy that would be 837 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 2: a great quarterback coach, maybe an offensive coordinator, but he 838 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 2: has yet to prove that he can actually coach an 839 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 2: entire team. And usc is soft soft football does not 840 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 2: win in the Big Ten. That being said, much more 841 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 2: coming up. This is Fox Football Saturday, all right, keeping 842 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 2: her eyes on the very busy football scoreboard here on 843 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 2: this rivalry Saturday. This is Fox Football Saturday, and. 844 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 5: Football is back for the best pregame show every weekend. 845 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 5: Be sure to tune into Fox Sports Radio's Countdown to 846 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 5: kick offf presented by Bet MGM, every Saturday and Sunday morning. 847 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,280 Speaker 5: We will count you down to all of the biggest 848 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,800 Speaker 5: games for three hours right up until kickoff, for all 849 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,760 Speaker 5: of the best plays and up to the second injury news. 850 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 5: Tune in to Countdown to Kickoff, presented by Bett MGM, 851 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 5: every Saturday and Sunday morning right here on Fox Sports 852 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:16,959 Speaker 5: Radio and the iHeart App. 853 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 2: All right, So this is the Rivalry Day in college football. 854 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 2: Of course, next week will be the conference championships and 855 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 2: then we get ready for the twelve school playoff, which 856 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 2: we'll have a bit of a different format this year. 857 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 3: And I think this was the wise move. 858 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 2: So last year, the way it worked, the four buys 859 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 2: were given to the four highest ranked conference champions, which 860 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 2: meant that Boise State was the three seed and Arizona 861 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 2: State was the four seed, and they both went belly up. 862 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 2: In fact, all four teams that had a buy went 863 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 2: belly up in their first game. Remember Oregon undefeated number one, 864 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 2: and then they end up playing Ohio State in a 865 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 2: rematch game, and Ohio State handled them with ease. I 866 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 2: still do not like the idea of bye weeks for 867 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 2: college football. It's different than the pros. Okay, you know, 868 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 2: professional athletes sort of get the idea of a bye 869 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 2: week and how to handle a bye week. But in 870 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 2: college football, if you have a bye week and the 871 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 2: other team plays a game, sort of gets their feet 872 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 2: under them, and then a week later are playing you. 873 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 3: You know, I predict it. 874 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 2: In fact, I predicted last year that all four teams 875 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 2: were going to lose, and they did. I wish they 876 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 2: would either expand the tournament to sixteen, so that everyone 877 00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 2: plays the same number of games. 878 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 4: Do you think that's the direction we're heading. 879 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,360 Speaker 2: Eventually, they're going to continue expanse and they'll expand it, Nikki. 880 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 2: As long as they know we can make more money, 881 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,320 Speaker 2: as long as there's more money involved, we're going to 882 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 2: do it. 883 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 3: So yes, I do think there's going to be an expansion. 884 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 2: But now the seeding's going to be done on ranking 885 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 2: has nothing to do whether you're won your conference or not. 886 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,919 Speaker 2: Now they will see them as they are ranked one 887 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 2: through twelve in the college football playoffs. At the very least, 888 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 2: I think that's going to make things a little more fair. 889 00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 2: Are you a college football playoff fan? 890 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 5: I like the playoff structure. I like the more teams, 891 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 5: and I get the buy doesn't really. 892 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 2: Make sense to me, it doesn't make any sense. 893 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 5: But I do like the tournament element of it. 894 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 2: I well, I mean last year was such an unexpected finish. 895 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,880 Speaker 2: I mean, here was Ohio State coming out that horrific 896 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:29,240 Speaker 2: loss to Michigan and they basically backdoor their way into 897 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 2: the playoff and then they rattle off four straight wins 898 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,439 Speaker 2: and win the national championship with two losses by the way, 899 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 2: and then then and people say, well, they weren't really 900 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 2: the best team of the country. I go, no, no, no, 901 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 2: you don't understand this. In every sport that has a playoff, 902 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,320 Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with who's the best team. 903 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,840 Speaker 3: It's who's the best team during the playoff. 904 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 4: It's the momentum factor. 905 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:53,439 Speaker 7: I mean. 906 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 2: Time, no one in a thousand years would ever insist 907 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 2: that the New York Giants in two thousand and seven, 908 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 2: we're a better team than the Patriots. That they beat 909 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 2: him in the Super Bowl, so they're the champions. I 910 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 2: mean that was an undefeated Patriot team. They could play 911 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,359 Speaker 2: ten times, the Patriots win nine times. They were the 912 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 2: best team, but not on that day. And that's that's 913 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 2: the beauty or in some ways, if you're a fan 914 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 2: of those teams, the horror of a playoff, you are 915 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,880 Speaker 2: one and done. If you don't show up, you have 916 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 2: a bad day, you could lose a team that's not 917 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 2: as good as you. 918 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 3: And now we have that in college football. 919 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 5: Did you hear they might be expanding the March Madness 920 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:32,640 Speaker 5: bracket as well. 921 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:33,879 Speaker 3: See that doesn't make sense. 922 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't want them to do it. 923 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 2: It doesn't have. 924 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 3: Enough Nikky Nikki, we don't need it. 925 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, what we call the conference tournaments, right, you already 926 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 2: every there are very few conference tournaments in college basketball though, 927 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:47,719 Speaker 2: don't include everybody. 928 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 4: Not everybody should get a trophy. 929 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,280 Speaker 2: Really, it's not even you don't we have the extra 930 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 2: round everybody. If you win your college, you win your 931 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 2: conference tournament, you're in. We had that we year with 932 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,280 Speaker 2: Kemba Walker and Yukon. They won five games and five 933 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 2: straight nights to win the Big East title. Had they 934 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,719 Speaker 2: not won, they were not going to be in the tournament, 935 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 2: And then they won the nca tournament. They won five 936 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 2: nights in a row. Can you imagine that? Five nights 937 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 2: in a row. And so no, there's no reason to 938 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 2: change the format of the NCAA basketball tournament because you 939 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 2: already have the conference tournaments. 940 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 3: Everyone has a path to win the national championship. 941 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,759 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think we need more more than you know. 942 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 5: I was just reminiscing on UCLA's first four to final 943 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 5: run in twenty twenty one. 944 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 3: Phenomenal, awesome. 945 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, you know, they were all in Indianapolis, so no 946 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 2: one early got to go. 947 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,440 Speaker 5: Right, So that type of thing I went, I recovered 948 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,360 Speaker 5: it yeah, it was awesome. It was one of the 949 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 5: best assignments, I'd say, even bubble circumstances. Considering those, it 950 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 5: wasn't you know, the full march madness feeling. But to 951 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 5: go to a final four and have your uh, your 952 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 5: colors everywhere awesome. 953 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 2: Well. The funny thing was when I was sports editor 954 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 2: at UCLA. This is back in nineteen eighty Larry Brown 955 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 2: was our new coach, and we had this unexpected to 956 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 2: run all the way of the championship game the old 957 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 2: Market Square Arena in Indianapolis. It was a different world 958 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 2: back then, but I swore that day, if UCLA ever 959 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:26,919 Speaker 2: gets back to a final four, I'll be there because 960 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 2: my first experience fifteen years later, I'm in Seattle when 961 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 2: they won the national championship and then they went to 962 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 2: three straight final fours six, seven oh eight. 963 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,640 Speaker 3: I was at all those final fours. 964 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,439 Speaker 2: So that was true to my word. Until that year, yep, 965 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,920 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, I just I couldn't it. 966 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 5: Probably you could say it was just a little bit different, 967 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 5: so you didn't need to be at that one. But 968 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 5: now Drew Timmy's on the Lakers. 969 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 3: Drew Timmy was so bad. 970 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 2: Think about this, so this guy dominated the college level, 971 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 2: right against Daga and certainly dominated UCLA. He was so 972 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 2: bad he went a wasn't drafted, and then he was 973 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,560 Speaker 2: caught originally from the G League. But I will give 974 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,880 Speaker 2: this guy credit. He stayed with it and then all 975 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 2: of a sudden started dominating the G League. And now yeah, 976 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 2: he's on the Lakers. 977 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,360 Speaker 5: And one of my other jobs, I'm the sideline reporter 978 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 5: for the South Bay Lakers games. So I've gotten I met. 979 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 5: When I saw Drew, I was like, respectfully, I don't 980 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 5: like you, yeah right, Like he is the villain of 981 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 5: college basketball. 982 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,240 Speaker 3: Well when Gonzaggie you see. 983 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, right right, But even UCLA side, when Gonzaga was 984 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,279 Speaker 5: running that year, those three years, he was just, you know, 985 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 5: kind of the thorn in everyone's side. 986 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 3: And the NBA had no interest in this guy. 987 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's really he's really developed his game. So 988 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 5: I'm excited. He's on a two way contract now with 989 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 5: the Lakers, which is pretty cool. 990 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:53,799 Speaker 2: All Right, So we're watching talking basketball, I know, well, 991 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 2: I do want to talk about these rivalries though, And 992 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,720 Speaker 2: here's one of my concerns about the future of college 993 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,359 Speaker 2: foot ball. Nikki. One of the things that draws me 994 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 2: to college sports in general. Are rivalries, these school rivalries 995 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 2: that date back some more than one hundred years, some 996 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,959 Speaker 2: of these rivalries. And with the reconfiguration of all these 997 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 2: conferences and separation, I mean, you know, we think about 998 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,280 Speaker 2: the old PAC twelve, right, and all of a sudden 999 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 2: there is no PAC twelve. Actually, tonight you got Oregon 1000 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 2: State playing Washington State. They are technically the PAC twelve. 1001 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 4: That's crazy. 1002 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 2: There's two schools left in the Pack twelve BA two. 1003 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 2: It's the Pack two two pack. But they still call 1004 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 2: it the PAC twelve. They call it the PAC twelve 1005 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 2: even though there is only two schools in the Pack twelve. 1006 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 2: But you know, UCLA had the rivalries against the Arizona schools, 1007 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 2: the Washington schools, the Oregon schools, you know in the 1008 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 2: Bay area obviously with Stanford and coll you know, Stanford 1009 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 2: and cow A now in the ACC, Washington, Oregon, USC 1010 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,799 Speaker 2: in the Big ten Arizona aras on to State, Utah 1011 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 2: and Colorado, and the Big twelve and. 1012 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,200 Speaker 4: The Big twelve and the Big Ten aren't the Big 1013 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 4: twelve and the Big ten. They're like the Big eighteen. 1014 00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 2: Yes, the Big ten has eighteen. Yeah, so you're getting 1015 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 2: away from tradition. And you know, we were talking earlier 1016 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 2: about Lincoln Riley. So Lincoln Riley is hell bent on 1017 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:21,960 Speaker 2: eliminating Notre Dame from SC schedule because he can't beat them, 1018 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 2: and it's. 1019 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 3: Like, dude, you can't do that, dude. This is a rivalry. 1020 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 2: This is the great greatest intersectional rivalry in the history 1021 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 2: of college football. Between the two schools, they have fifteen 1022 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy winners, countless national championships. 1023 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 4: And it was a. 1024 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 2: Tradition started by the great new Rockney and Howard Jones 1025 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 2: at USC. They had known each other for years. New 1026 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 2: Rockney was trying to, you know, get people to discover 1027 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,359 Speaker 2: this little school in South Bend, Indiana. No he knew 1028 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,959 Speaker 2: if I if I travel with my team coast to coast, 1029 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 2: people will get to know us. And it worked beautifully 1030 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:59,240 Speaker 2: and built the empire at Notre Dame. But the idea 1031 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,520 Speaker 2: of a limit something like that, there's no way. Oh, 1032 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,479 Speaker 2: they're they're serious. Note I don't like Notre Dame cares 1033 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,959 Speaker 2: because they're beating SC these days. But Lincoln Riley, who 1034 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,279 Speaker 2: was really talking up a storm this week about this, 1035 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 2: is so great. The rivalry with Ucla shut the f 1036 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:20,400 Speaker 2: up us EF. I can say this from my dad 1037 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:24,799 Speaker 2: who went to FC. Beating Notre Dame was bigger than 1038 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:30,120 Speaker 2: beating Ucla. That is the game on USC schedule. Notre Dame. 1039 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,319 Speaker 2: That's the game. I mean. Ucla is big because it 1040 00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,279 Speaker 2: could be back in the day for the Rose Bowl 1041 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,799 Speaker 2: obviously the inner set, but that doesn't compare. 1042 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 4: To Notre know the Notre Dame. 1043 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,880 Speaker 5: And Matt Liner was telling me because he and I 1044 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 5: grew up watching Matt and Reggie and like those were 1045 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,880 Speaker 5: that made me fall in love with college football. 1046 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 4: The run they went on. 1047 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,719 Speaker 5: And I was talking to my go, you know, I'm 1048 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 5: a Bruin. I don't know if we can be friends, 1049 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,320 Speaker 5: like joking, right, And he goes, oh, no, I love Ucla. 1050 00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 4: I have a lot of friends who are Bruins. Blah 1051 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 4: blah blah. 1052 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 5: He goes, Notre Dame. I cannot stand them. And you 1053 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 5: know that's the type of rivalry. Yeah, we need to 1054 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,720 Speaker 5: keep alive in college football. And you're right, we're losing. 1055 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 5: We're running the risk of losing some of those legendary 1056 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:19,279 Speaker 5: showdowns with all these realigning conferences. 1057 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, at my attitude about Lincoln Riley trying to 1058 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 2: eliminate Notre Dame from the schedule. If he can't beat 1059 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:29,319 Speaker 2: him or beat them, then hire a coach that can Ooh, 1060 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,800 Speaker 2: instead of eliminating one of the greatest rivalries in the 1061 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:37,200 Speaker 2: history of college football, how about keeping it and then 1062 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 2: actually hiring a coach that can beat him. 1063 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 6: What's the value proposition for keeping Notre Dame though? 1064 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:45,240 Speaker 2: Value? 1065 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 6: Yes, Well, first of all, keep in mind, I want 1066 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 6: to keep playing Notre Dame. 1067 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,960 Speaker 2: But I think about this, if you had beaten Notre 1068 00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 2: Dame this year, you'd be in the playoffs. Sure right, Sure, 1069 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,640 Speaker 2: I mean it's essentially it's a ticket to the playoff. 1070 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 2: If you can't beat them, then you don't deserve to 1071 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,920 Speaker 2: be in the playoffs. So that's why Notre Dame has value, 1072 00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 2: because they're an elite stool that you built one hundred 1073 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,200 Speaker 2: years of rivalry with and now that they have the 1074 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:15,520 Speaker 2: expanded college Football playoff, beating Notre Dame is probably your 1075 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,560 Speaker 2: ticket to get into the playoffs. So, like I said, 1076 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,919 Speaker 2: hire a coach and actually beat Notre Dame. 1077 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,640 Speaker 6: But I think from USC's point of view, they have 1078 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 6: to play an entire Big Ten schedule. 1079 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 2: What is that Notre Dame's never been a member of the. 1080 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,520 Speaker 6: Big time, I know, but like, that's what USC is 1081 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:32,840 Speaker 6: saying at this point is they have to play an 1082 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,520 Speaker 6: entire Big Ten schedule and then on top of it, 1083 00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 6: they also have to play Notre Dame. And I understand 1084 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,919 Speaker 6: why they don't want to play Notre Dame. 1085 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,320 Speaker 2: No eat beat that. 1086 00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 6: I mean really, but this is all the product of 1087 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,799 Speaker 6: everybody clamoring for a playoff, and like this is what 1088 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 6: you get as it turns into the NFL bit worse. 1089 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 3: Look, I don't know what you think. I know you're you. 1090 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,320 Speaker 2: Follow USC football. Do you honestly think that Lincoln Riley's 1091 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:55,239 Speaker 2: going to survive this year? 1092 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,720 Speaker 6: Well? Yeah, who are they going to hire? And who 1093 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,319 Speaker 6: are you going to hire? Who are you going to 1094 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,440 Speaker 6: bring in immediately? I don't know if anybody's better than 1095 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 6: Lincoln Riley. Who are you going to bring in that 1096 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,360 Speaker 6: stops the wave of decommits and transfers out of USC? 1097 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 3: Well, do you think your two wide receiver is going 1098 00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 3: to be back next year? 1099 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,359 Speaker 6: No, but they're just replacing them with two also great 1100 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 6: wide receivers. They have the number one class in the 1101 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,280 Speaker 6: country coming in next year. 1102 00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 2: And you got to keep them after one year and 1103 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,839 Speaker 2: they don't transfer report a lot of town. 1104 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:27,839 Speaker 6: Yeah, but they're definitely leaving if Riley gets fired. Yeah, 1105 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,359 Speaker 6: I mean I would bring Lane Kiffin back, but that's 1106 00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:31,040 Speaker 6: not going to happen. 1107 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 3: So why not the athletics anymore? 1108 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:36,919 Speaker 6: Want to take that LSU drop in us? He doesn't 1109 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 6: have the money to pay Lincoln. 1110 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:39,040 Speaker 2: They don't have any money. 1111 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 3: Has more money than anybody. If they want to spend it. 1112 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 6: Well they will when they're done selling these lawsuits. It's 1113 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 6: been a feltings of school. But that's neither here nor there. 1114 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,800 Speaker 2: All right, Well, we'll see what happens today.

The Ravens coming 1147 00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,160 Speaker 2: on a five game winning streak are going to get 1148 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 2: routed at home by the Bengals, and the Bears. Bears 1149 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 2: are going to go into Philly and beat the Eagles. 1150 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:43,760 Speaker 5: Bears. 1151 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,279 Speaker 2: Now, if you had parlay that four ways, man, you'd 1152 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:48,920 Speaker 2: be swimming in a lot of money. Maybe some of 1153 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 2: you did out there. I certainly would not have predicted 1154 00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 2: any of that. But again it brings up and I 1155 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,160 Speaker 2: go back to bow for a second here because Bo's 1156 00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,400 Speaker 2: you know, one of his critiques of certain teams is well, 1157 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 2: who would they be? And my answer to that is, 1158 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 2: who is anybody beaten? Give me any team it's safe 1159 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:08,640 Speaker 2: as a feather in my cap. I got to win 1160 00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,680 Speaker 2: over them. I guess the Rams right now would be 1161 00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:13,239 Speaker 2: the closest thing to that, because currently they're on a 1162 00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:13,880 Speaker 2: hot streak. 1163 00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,120 Speaker 3: But I mean, what does it mean to beat anybody. 1164 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:23,759 Speaker 2: In the NFL right now? Anything? I mean, it was 1165 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 2: like who have they beaten? I mean, it's like, who 1166 00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 2: is anybody being. 1167 00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:28,960 Speaker 6: The only team I think you can really pull the 1168 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 6: schedule thing with as the Patriots right now, because they 1169 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:35,319 Speaker 6: have legitimately not beaten Buffalo. Yeah, one time, that's it, 1170 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 6: that's a divisional game. Well one time, I expect that, 1171 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 6: But like. 1172 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,399 Speaker 2: Okay, did you expect the Bears to beat the UH 1173 00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 2: Eagles yesterday? 1174 00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:45,759 Speaker 6: No? Why why would anybody expect. 1175 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 2: Exactly, why would anybody expect it outside of the fact 1176 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,319 Speaker 2: that we said all going into the week, so you 1177 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,840 Speaker 2: had the Bears and the Patriots, their strength of schedule 1178 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,600 Speaker 2: was the two weakest strengths of schedule in the NFL. 1179 00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 2: So that was sort of like, Okay, that's why the 1180 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,560 Speaker 2: Bears were eight and three before that game, and you 1181 00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,400 Speaker 2: know New England's at ten and two. They've had the 1182 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:10,920 Speaker 2: weakest schedules, and I'm like, what what week's schedule we're 1183 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,240 Speaker 2: talking about? The entire league is weak. 1184 00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,360 Speaker 5: I want to hear I want to hear Bo's thoughts 1185 00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 5: as an Eagles fan. 1186 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 2: Are they done? 1187 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 4: Are you? 1188 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 6: I'm not allowed to say what I want to say 1189 00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 6: on terrestrial radio, Well XM we could. 1190 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,360 Speaker 2: He has made it clear he is not a fan 1191 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,680 Speaker 2: of Jalen Hurst and he's not a fan of Nick Sirianni. 1192 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,080 Speaker 2: Correct so, and he, by the way, he even said 1193 00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 2: that after they won the Super Bowl last year. 1194 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:37,920 Speaker 6: Well, what does Nick Sirianni do is my question? What 1195 00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,040 Speaker 6: exactly does he do? Because he doesn't he coaches like 1196 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:45,480 Speaker 6: Philadelphia Eagles. He doesn't call plays, he doesn't run the defense. 1197 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 6: He's suppose he's there to be the chief vibes coordinator, 1198 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 6: and the vibes are awful. 1199 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you this, what does Dan Campbell do? 1200 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:53,840 Speaker 6: Calls plays? 1201 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1202 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 3: How's that work? Do they look anything like the Ben 1203 00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 3: Johnson runoffs? 1204 00:57:57,960 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 6: But that's just because they lost Ben Jonson? 1205 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 3: Oh okay. 1206 00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,440 Speaker 2: The reality with Dan Campbell is he's some raw rock 1207 00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,960 Speaker 2: guy in the locker room. But then in reality was 1208 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson. There was a real architect of that high 1209 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,200 Speaker 2: power attack we saw a year ago with the YEA 1210 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,320 Speaker 2: And now he's running the Bears. How's that working? Certain good? 1211 00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 6: I didn't think the Bears would be able to replicate 1212 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,240 Speaker 6: the Lions rushing attack the way they have because Swift 1213 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:29,280 Speaker 6: and Menungay both looked. You squint your eyes real quick, 1214 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 6: and it looks a lot like Montgomery and yeah they dibbs. 1215 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Manon, guy's been quite a fine, to say the least. 1216 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 2: And then then he had the Ravens. See the Ravens. 1217 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 2: We go into the season, Nikki and it's like the 1218 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,320 Speaker 2: Ravens and the Bills. Boy are they do right? If 1219 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 2: anyone's going to finally, you know, break the stranglehold the 1220 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,200 Speaker 2: Chiefs have had in the AFC, it's going to be 1221 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:49,600 Speaker 2: the Bills or. 1222 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,680 Speaker 4: The Ravens always knocking on the door, and the. 1223 00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:56,680 Speaker 2: Ravens, you know, they get, you know, off to a 1224 00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 2: bad start to got worse obviously when Lamar Jackson went out, 1225 00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,080 Speaker 2: comes back and although they're not looking super great, they're 1226 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,360 Speaker 2: starting to win a game. And now you're playing a 1227 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 2: Bengals team that comes in at three and eight, their 1228 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 2: season's over. Some people were questioning whether Joe Burrow should 1229 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:16,320 Speaker 2: even play with really nothing on the line, and I'm like, 1230 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,240 Speaker 2: what do you mean play? The guy's getting paid zillions 1231 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 2: of dollars, he wants to play. Let him play. And 1232 00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,080 Speaker 2: the Bengals blow out the Ravens in Baltimore. 1233 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,320 Speaker 5: That was the power of belief, you know that they 1234 00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,920 Speaker 5: had the hope factor coming back with Joe Burrow. 1235 00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:32,520 Speaker 4: Yesterday. 1236 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,040 Speaker 3: What happened to the Ravens or not yesterday? 1237 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:35,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1238 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 3: I mean Lamar jacks Am I right? 1239 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,680 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson's had three straight games and no touchdown passes 1240 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 2: or rushing touchdowns? 1241 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:42,600 Speaker 3: Is that right? 1242 00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1243 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 2: Yep, three straight games zero and zero, So maybe Lamar 1244 00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 2: Jackson's time is coming? Gun hm, I mean is he 1245 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,360 Speaker 2: going to get back to where he was? 1246 00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,640 Speaker 3: Or A wait to say that, Martin wants to come? 1247 01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:01,320 Speaker 9: What's going on? 1248 01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 2: I'm asking you, hey, everybody, baby, nobody's beat anybody? 1249 01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 10: Oh Lamar Jackson three games, no passing touchdowns? 1250 01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,160 Speaker 3: Does he look like the same quarterback to you? 1251 01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 7: No? 1252 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,680 Speaker 2: But he's hurt to he done? 1253 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 9: Is he he should just retire? 1254 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 2: It's time for Lamar Jackson come homes has played in 1255 01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:25,480 Speaker 2: his last Super Bowl? You believe that, right? I mean 1256 01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:26,400 Speaker 2: it's a possibility. 1257 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:26,680 Speaker 9: Sure. 1258 01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:31,800 Speaker 10: Okay, Poor Nikki k is up here saying no. 1259 01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,080 Speaker 2: I don't think Lamar Jackson should just quit. 1260 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,760 Speaker 9: I don't think it's ridiculous. 1261 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,640 Speaker 10: To think that the guy who's been to the last 1262 01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:40,680 Speaker 10: seven straight AMC Championship games. 1263 01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:42,560 Speaker 2: Might make another one in his career. 1264 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,920 Speaker 9: I'm just what what's going on with Steve?

This is the season of denial in the NFL. 1267 01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,320 Speaker 2: Like every time the Chiefs like win a game, they're 1268 01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 2: like back in the Super Bowl like that before this 1269 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 2: game against the Cowboys had all all the crews making 1270 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,160 Speaker 2: the iron update your pick for the Super Bowl Chiefs. 1271 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:05,640 Speaker 2: I will agree with. 1272 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 10: That there has been an inflation of well, if they 1273 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:09,840 Speaker 10: get right, they'll be dangerous. 1274 01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,920 Speaker 9: I was ignoring the fact that several teams. 1275 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:18,440 Speaker 2: They gave us five hundred yards of the Cowboys that 1276 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 2: Chiefs defense bags man, he'll lock them down.

Colts 1284 01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,960 Speaker 2: offensively when you got the number one running back in 1285 01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,800 Speaker 2: the league this year with Jonathan Taylor has been and 1286 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 2: you have a quarterback see Daniel Jones, as long as 1287 01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 2: he just plays smart. He's already had a game where 1288 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:59,320 Speaker 2: he didn't and what happened? They go belly up. So yeah, 1289 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,000 Speaker 2: they're in can tension.

What about you? 1329 01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,520 Speaker 10: I think Steve is buying into his own season of 1330 01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 10: disbelieved that he found the culprit he's staring in the 1331 01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:46,560 Speaker 10: mirror I picked. 1332 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:48,800 Speaker 9: I had picked the Broncos to start the season. I'll 1333 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 9: stay there. 1334 01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,160 Speaker 2: I had the Bills beating the Broncos in my preseason 1335 01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 2: picking the AFC championship game. So I'm gonna stick with 1336 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:59,160 Speaker 2: that until I'm proven wrong. So that was my preseason prediction. 1337 01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,360 Speaker 2: Bill beat the Broncos in the ANFC championship game. 1338 01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 9: I'm surprised that. 1339 01:04:05,480 --> 01:04:08,120 Speaker 10: They're going to have an AFC championship game.

Again, 1346 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,320 Speaker 2: if you had been able to correctly predict the outcomes 1347 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 2: of all three of those Thanksgiving games and then tapped 1348 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 2: into the Bears winning at the Eagles, you are no 1349 01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:36,960 Speaker 2: stra Damas.

Are they still 1478 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,240 Speaker 2: safe or are you concerned about the Cowboys? 1479 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:55,640 Speaker 7: Well? 1480 01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:59,200 Speaker 6: I don't know. I think the Cowboys like two three 1481 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 6: point wins over teams that haven't been great don't move 1482 01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 6: me a ton. Both the games at home too, So 1483 01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:07,040 Speaker 6: let's see what happens when Dallas has to go on 1484 01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:09,840 Speaker 6: the road. I don't know who they play. I know 1485 01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:13,080 Speaker 6: the Eagles play the Chargers, the Raiders, the Commanders, the Bills, 1486 01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:17,680 Speaker 6: and the Commanders. So if they can't win three of 1487 01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:21,559 Speaker 6: those five, then they're probably not going to win the 1488 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:25,799 Speaker 6: NFC East. And I wouldn't put it past him because 1489 01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 6: they haven't looked good at all. No, I don't know 1490 01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,400 Speaker 6: what the hold up is with with Kevin Patulo. Like 1491 01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:33,960 Speaker 6: I know he's not the only problem, but he's the 1492 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:35,679 Speaker 6: only one you can fix in the middle of the season. 1493 01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:37,600 Speaker 6: I really don't know what they're waiting for. And if 1494 01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,840 Speaker 6: Nick Siriranni doesn't want to fire him, then guess what 1495 01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:43,800 Speaker 6: Nick Siriannie can get fired to. That's that's that's the an. 1496 01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,360 Speaker 2: See what happened? You thought I was the only one negative? 1497 01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:47,519 Speaker 5: Right? 1498 01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:49,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, we vibes. 1499 01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:53,439 Speaker 6: The Eagles have the most expensive offense in the NFL, 1500 01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,040 Speaker 6: and you would not know that watching them play. 1501 01:11:58,080 --> 01:11:58,839 Speaker 2: He just wouldn't. 1502 01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,840 Speaker 6: And it carries over into the defense, Like people were 1503 01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,320 Speaker 6: getting mad at the defense for for how they played yesterday, 1504 01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:06,679 Speaker 6: but they only gave up ten points through three quarters, 1505 01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:08,280 Speaker 6: Like it's not too much to ask your offense to 1506 01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:09,120 Speaker 6: pick yards. 1507 01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,160 Speaker 3: That they give up on the ground two hundred and 1508 01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:11,759 Speaker 3: eighty tons. 1509 01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:15,280 Speaker 2: How is even possible be an NFL team can run 1510 01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:16,519 Speaker 2: for that many yards in the game. 1511 01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, but they only scored ten points. 1512 01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:20,960 Speaker 3: How do you give up two hundred and eighty yards 1513 01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:21,880 Speaker 3: on the ground. 1514 01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,400 Speaker 6: Because you're on the field too much, because your offense 1515 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:26,320 Speaker 6: can't do anything. Your offense goes three and out every 1516 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:28,479 Speaker 6: single time you're on the field, way too much. 1517 01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,320 Speaker 2: The Bears had two hundred yard rushers. 1518 01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:34,439 Speaker 3: When's the last time the Eagles? That happened to the Eagles? 1519 01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:37,320 Speaker 6: It was a long time. You were probably you were 1520 01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:39,240 Speaker 6: probably twenty years old when the last time, so that 1521 01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:40,040 Speaker 6: would be a. 1522 01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,080 Speaker 2: Long time ago. That's back in the seventies. Man, that's 1523 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:44,880 Speaker 2: a good era. You guys should have been around back 1524 01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,920 Speaker 2: in the seventies. I can only imagine you guys like 1525 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,479 Speaker 2: disco and then the disco era. The height of that 1526 01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:51,360 Speaker 2: was unbelievable, it really was. 1527 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:52,719 Speaker 4: Did you have some flair pants? 1528 01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:54,160 Speaker 3: I did, attom. 1529 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:57,000 Speaker 2: I'll show you a picture during the break, all right, 1530 01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:58,320 Speaker 2: coming up on the other side. 1531 01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:02,640 Speaker 4: It is our l O L moment of theouns. 1532 01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:05,960 Speaker 2: Steve Yes, laugh out loud, cold you Well, I do 1533 01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:10,400 Speaker 2: know that this is Fox Football Saturday, Fox Football Saturday. 1534 01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,280 Speaker 2: As we are wrapping up a busy day today in 1535 01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:19,080 Speaker 2: college football Rivalry Saturday.

So, the 1545 01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,599 Speaker 2: year that Matt Barkley had his great junior year at 1546 01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:50,839 Speaker 2: USC twenty eleven, I did not have them on my ballot, 1547 01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:56,080 Speaker 2: and I told that afterwards, and USC fans were irate. 1548 01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,839 Speaker 2: And the next year Marquith Lee, wide receiver for a USC, 1549 01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:02,800 Speaker 2: he was very much in the chase. So I cast 1550 01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:06,880 Speaker 2: my ballot and somebody on Twitter came after me about you. 1551 01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:10,200 Speaker 2: I'm sure you screwed over more like you did Matt Barkley. 1552 01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,840 Speaker 2: I'm responding to a tweet I said, well, as a 1553 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,839 Speaker 2: matter of fact, Mark Quise Lee got my third place slot. 1554 01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:19,320 Speaker 2: I didn't think anything of it.

How was he ever a favorite for the Heisman? 1569 01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,040 Speaker 2: Well, when they beat Michigan, that was like that early 1570 01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,639 Speaker 2: game the people thought, you know, he was on the radar, 1571 01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:55,360 Speaker 2: then he got hurt. 1572 01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:58,519 Speaker 6: I know he is one of the worst quarterbacks I've 1573 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:01,000 Speaker 6: ever seen. I hope he's listening some so you can right. 1574 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:04,800 Speaker 2: Now, the way they played out today, it's either going 1575 01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,240 Speaker 2: to be Mendoza or saying to win the Heist and Trophy. 1576 01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,400 Speaker 2: There's nobody else because one of those dud's got to 1577 01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:13,280 Speaker 2: win the game. Next week, one of them is going 1578 01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:14,880 Speaker 2: to play well enough, and that's going to be it. 1579 01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:18,280 Speaker 2: The top two ranked quarterbacks and passing defficiency on the 1580 01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:20,240 Speaker 2: top two teams in the country, there's nobody else in 1581 01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:24,200 Speaker 2: the conversation. So that game will decide it and most 1582 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,880 Speaker 2: likely will decide my bom. So there you go. Okay, 1583 01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:32,599 Speaker 2: So the rool moment of the week. 1584 01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:37,080 Speaker 5: My Lol, did you hear about John Morant coming for 1585 01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:41,160 Speaker 5: Clay Thompson and it just going at him with some 1586 01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 5: jobs and it's like, John, do you know who you're 1587 01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:49,640 Speaker 5: talking to? Clay is NBA Royalty? That to me was 1588 01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:52,880 Speaker 5: laugh out loud. I mean John, and what's going on 1589 01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,120 Speaker 5: in Memphis is a whole other debacle. 1590 01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,439 Speaker 4: But I thought that's pretty uh. 1591 01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,120 Speaker 2: Well, what do you say? 1592 01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:01,040 Speaker 7: Do what? 1593 01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:02,040 Speaker 4: They're trash talking? 1594 01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,680 Speaker 5: They gotten involved in a scuffle, but it's more like, 1595 01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:09,360 Speaker 5: you can't you can't go after Clay. Clay is probably 1596 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:12,439 Speaker 5: one of the most beloved characters in the league. 1597 01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:14,840 Speaker 2: Well, it's a little difficult because I actually have known 1598 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:17,439 Speaker 2: Clay since he was fourteen years old. Uh huh, because 1599 01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:19,599 Speaker 2: his father and I were partners together on the radio. 1600 01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:24,320 Speaker 2: Michael and we were covering the NBA Finals in two 1601 01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:26,680 Speaker 2: thousand and four Lakers and Pistons. The one of the 1602 01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 2: Pistons blew out the Lakers that was in a shack 1603 01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:33,320 Speaker 2: and Phil Jackson after that, and Michael flew his two 1604 01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,960 Speaker 2: youngest sons, Clay who was fourteen and Trace who would 1605 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:40,519 Speaker 2: play with the Dodgers who was thirteen, to Detroit to 1606 01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:42,240 Speaker 2: hang out with us. I thought that was great, And 1607 01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,360 Speaker 2: we're going to take the boys to a Tigers game 1608 01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:46,800 Speaker 2: on a day off. And then the day we're going 1609 01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:48,200 Speaker 2: to go to the game, Michael goes. 1610 01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:48,840 Speaker 3: I really don't want to go. 1611 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:50,000 Speaker 2: Can you take the boys? 1612 01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:52,440 Speaker 3: They let me get this straight, Michael. 1613 01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,120 Speaker 4: Is a funny, funny man. 1614 01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:57,120 Speaker 2: So you fly them out from Portland they were living 1615 01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:59,960 Speaker 2: at the time, all the way to Detroit to take 1616 01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:01,640 Speaker 2: make him to the game. And their dad's not going 1617 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:05,120 Speaker 2: to take him Uncle Steve is So I did. And 1618 01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,720 Speaker 2: I will say this about both Clay and Trace. I've 1619 01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:09,679 Speaker 2: run into him many times over the years. They still 1620 01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,640 Speaker 2: talk about that game was yesterday awesome. They still call 1621 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 2: me mister Hartman. 1622 01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,040 Speaker 4: Mister I love that family. 1623 01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:16,880 Speaker 2: I do too. 1624 01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,280 Speaker 4: Absolutely wonder if your moment of the week. 1625 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:25,240 Speaker 3: My l ol moment of the week. 1626 01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,280 Speaker 2: Well, I will say this. I mean, I think it's 1627 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,800 Speaker 2: sort of carrying on pretty much what we've been talking about. 1628 01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,640 Speaker 2: But my LOL moment of the week was all the 1629 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:38,880 Speaker 2: people jumping back on the Chiefs bandwagon after their victory 1630 01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:39,960 Speaker 2: against the Colts. 1631 01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:43,440 Speaker 3: Because I never took it seriously. 1632 01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:47,800 Speaker 2: As I've said, when I talk about the NFL, it's 1633 01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:50,400 Speaker 2: not that I'm anxious to see what's going to happen next. 1634 01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:53,160 Speaker 2: The NFL has never been more predictable than it is 1635 01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:58,920 Speaker 2: right now. But I laugh when people blindly ignore the 1636 01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:03,320 Speaker 2: obvious that the Chiefs are not the team they were 1637 01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,320 Speaker 2: and it's not gonna happen. It's over. 1638 01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:08,400 Speaker 3: They've had an incredible run. 1639 01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:11,679 Speaker 2: They went to five Super Bowls and in seven straight 1640 01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:18,280 Speaker 2: AFC Championship games. It's over. It's over. All good things 1641 01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 2: come to an end. So yeah, that was my laugh 1642 01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:24,240 Speaker 2: out loud literally leading into their game with the Cowboys. 1643 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:29,120 Speaker 2: All these all these inside the Chiefs are back. There's 1644 01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:31,200 Speaker 2: still the team to beat in the AFC.
