00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:12.560
Sports Stage yet Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Hey, welcome back to Eye on

3
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:16.000

fifty. I'm Steve. He's Jay got

4
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:23.000
sitting with the breaking news his Eye
on the News on Fox Sports fourteen to

5
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:28.519
fifty. All right, so we'll
start off with some NBA stuff we talked

6
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:32.600
about before the show started. The
NBA n Season Tournament starts today. There's

7
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:36.840
a couple of games on ESPN.
So first year with this, so we'll

8
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.280
see how it plays out. I'm
not sure how I feel about it.

9
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:44.079
By the nd season tournament, we'll
see if the players are bought into this

10
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:48.799
thing they weren't going in Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Well the thing is

11
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.439
is that you know, they're also
worried about, you know, doing the

12
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.560
you know, the game management stuff
or the injury injuries, and you know,

13
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.359
sitting out games because they're playing to
then you stick a turn in the

14
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.240
middle of the season. Yeah,
yeah, it doesn't really It didn't really

15
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.200
make any sense to me when they
decided to do this. And who's where's

16
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.840
is there buzz right among NBA fans
about this tournament, like, okay,

17
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:12.359
I can't wait to see who wins
this tournament. Yeah, as of right

18
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.120
now, I am not into it. So I mean, I'm not like

19
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.159
marking this on my calendar like every
year. So I think it's more just

20
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.280
to get that the already NBA fans
more about it, because I feel like

21
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.359
at some point they're they're gonna I'll
say this because we talk about this a

22
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.480
lot. I don't know very many
people that watch the NBA now exactly exactly,

23
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.079
not until the playoffs. Yep,
not until the playoffs and everybody some

24
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.560
people do obviously. I watched the
Golden State Warriors when I can have time,

25
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.879
and I see that. Yeah,
And like last night, I watched

26
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.040
the Sons in San Antonio again a
little, but I didn't watch it all.

27
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.200
Yeah, I just can't watch and
kind of turn it and say,

28
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.319
okay, that's cool. And then
but do you know many I don't know

29
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.599
many that j I know, Jay
doesn't right NBA fans A couple, Yeah,

30
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.920
my kids, you know, my
kid and his buddies two thirty okay,

31
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.280
yeah, yeah yeah. If the
NBA thinks that doing this will get

32
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.760
maybe football fans, so let me
turn on the tournament. I don't I

33
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:09.000
don't know if that's things were going
to happen. Well here at limput it

34
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:15.080
this way, I don't know even
of one and a true NBA fan who's

35
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.800
around my age right right. I
know some young guys because they love the

36
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.280
players and you know, the gear
and the shoes and the all that stuff.

37
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.080
You know, it all adds up
to them being fans of the NBA.

38
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.599
But you know, you and I
it does. When we were going

39
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.599
up, we were watching it because
of the NBA, because the games,

40
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.439
you know, not because somebody was
wearing a certain shoes and we and we

41
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:42.599
watched it frequently because back in the
day the channels were fewer. Remember that.

42
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.479
Remember that even the NBA Finals would
be taped lay They weren't even lying

43
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:53.599
wow, yeah the artist think of
that Bolds on the wall, It come

44
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.560
on the NBA. The an NBA
Finals game would come on here ten thirty

45
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.960
at night after the news? What
wow? What? What like? What?

46
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.479
Who was using the finals that?
Well? That was interesting. That

47
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:09.319
was the years leading up to the
Lakers Boston thing. It was when Magic

48
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:14.400
and Larry Bird you know, came
around and became the you know, the

49
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:17.080
space that that's when that started to
change, and that's why they credit those

50
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.080
guys with saving the NBA, because
the NBA had been relegated to like,

51
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.319
you know, a third class sport. I mean, it wasn't even close.

52
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.840
And you know, you could listen
to the NBA Finals if radio station

53
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.759
in your town could pick up the
game, or who you would do is

54
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:37.120
you would Since we didn't have internet, you could just not know who won.

55
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.000
And then if you really were that
fan, you'd watch it at ten

56
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:42.680
thirty at night because on delay.
Wow, the only place that was on

57
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.479
live was in the cities who were
involved. We used to walk to school

58
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:54.719
with no shoes too, in the
snow. I have stories for you,

59
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.360
all right. Yeah, so yesterday, obviously everyone's talking about it a little

60
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.479
bit. But when but Yama dropped
thirty eight to beat the Suns kind of

61
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.800
like the coming out party for him. It sounded like, I mean,

62
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:12.240
it was like thirty eight to sixteen
or crazy number. He's the first or

63
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.319
second player to have like one hundred
point. Yeah, I'm looking at it

64
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:21.040
across he's he's uh, he's the
only only other rookie besides David Robinson,

65
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:27.079
who scored one hundred points in five
games. Right. In fact, Shaq

66
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.160
talked about him yesterday. You see
that quote, We've never seen a player

67
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.720
like him in the checks. So
yeah, we have Bull Bowl and people

68
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.120
like, what what are you talking
about? I still have that picture of

69
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:42.160
him stretching to to block a KD
three pointer last that ran last year,

70
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.240
like d no, people being sort
of freaking out, what the heck's going

71
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.120
on? Oh my it yeah,
every I feel like so many Arizona sports,

72
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:53.519
it's so they just so easily get
cat in. The takes no time,

73
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:57.720
takes no time whatsoever. Moving into
some baseball stuff. I don't know

74
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.360
if you saw Jay, but Kershaw
was gonna go under undergo surgery for his

75
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:05.279
left shoulder. Well, we'll see
what the plan is there. He's old,

76
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:11.519
he's just yeah, it's told thirty. Yeah, that's thirties. He's

77
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.319
got a lot of years and he's
a Hall of Famer. He's got a

78
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.560
lot of years in you know,
his his fastball isn't what it used to

79
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:20.839
be. His back is always bothering
him. Yeah, it's it's it's becoming

80
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:25.560
a point now where if the Dodgers
even have him on the team, he's

81
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.079
gonna be the probably the fifth guy
has to be as far as innings go,

82
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.360
you know what I mean. We'll
see how it goes. But yeah,

83
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.279
a lot of the MLB guys are
starting to go in a free agency.

84
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:41.319
Justin Turner saw Dodgers sign Max Once
yesterday signed Max Yep. We'll see

85
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:46.680
what else happens. But going into
keeping the baseball stuff related to Arizona,

86
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:51.959
the Guardians claimed Alfonso Rivas. Oh
yeah, nice, so former Wildcat,

87
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.480
former Wildcat getting shot. All right, there's more and more. And he

88
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.399
was up with the Astros this year. He was with no, no,

89
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.879
no, it was a catcher who
was up with yeah, the sal Yeah,

90
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:09.279
okay, So we're starting to see
more, more and more Arizona guys

91
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:12.879
in my home that sometimes. I
know. We saw Kevin Gigle play a

92
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:19.000
huge, huge, so we've reached
the Dodger hour. Kevin the diamond back.

93
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.439
He's gonna make a lot of money. Just yeah, that was very

94
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:26.160
impressed. He's gonna make a lot
of money. He's very really Yeah.

95
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.959
And they're moving into some uh some
football stuff here. So I don't know

96
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.279
if you guys saw, but a
lot of people were starting to talk about

97
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.879
the potential flag Football Olympics. Patrick
Mahomes came out and said that he's he's

98
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.160
playing on trying to get into that. Who Patrick Mahomes? WHOA, what

99
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:45.480
do you really? Yeah, so
he's trying to They're they're gonna try to

100
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.560
get as many guys. Okay,
obviously it's gonna be tough because of injuries

101
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:54.639
and guys going out there risking it. Stuff in people's contract holy oh yeah,

102
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.639
Now no, I don't know if
you knows, but is it is

103
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.240
there a man's and women's in the
I believe there? Yeah, there's both.

104
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.600
Okay, that'd be fun. Yeah, So we'll see how many NFL

105
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:08.959
guys there are. But I'm sure
plenty of the XFL USFL guys will be

106
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.680
more than happy to be a part
of that as well. So we'll see.

107
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.240
We'll see how that goes with it. But sticking with football, related

108
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:20.839
to college football, McAfee and Ree
Davis are going to try to create their

109
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:24.319
own NFL. I don't know if
you guys are familiar with the NFL Red

110
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:29.079
Zone channel where they go through like
every single touchdown. Yeah yeah, I

111
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.199
watch that game. Yeah, So
they're they're going to try to do that

112
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.800
for college football tomorrow, I believe. Actually, really yeah, I'm sure

113
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.600
it's going to be on whether it's
on YouTube or if it's gonna I think

114
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:48.040
it's gonna be on ESPN channel because
something Ree Davis so after after you love

115
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.160
that it's a really good idea,
Well, I would if it wasn't.

116
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.959
Pat McAfee, Well, you don't
have to listen. Well, I guess

117
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.639
you do. You do? You're
going from play from game to game to

118
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.000
game to game. Well, yeah, yeah, but I also wonder too.

119
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.480
I also wonder too if it's going
to be limited to the ESPN games

120
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.360
on that right, because there's the
Fox has a bunch of games, CBS

121
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.920
has games. You know, are
they gonna be able to get all the

122
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.480
games unless they come to some agreement
that lets them do that? Okay?

123
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.560
Did you well go ahead. Did
you hear about the my urban minorit to

124
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.319
Michigan State? Do you have that
on that thing? That? No,

125
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.079
it's maybe it's the internet fodder.
But I saw that today. I'm thinking,

126
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.759
really wow, that not that it's
happened, right, but that that's

127
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.480
that's the room. I've seen the
Rich Rich Rich Road, West Virginia.

128
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.080
I've seen a little bit of that. I don't know. Going back.

129
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.919
Yeah, I've seen a lot of
that on a couple a couple of good

130
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.600
sources on Twitter. I forget their
names, but they came out and said

131
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:50.320
the possibility, it's a real possibility. So we'll see. Okay, No,

132
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.360
I didn't see that. Speaking of
the Michigan's, it just came across

133
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.720
that University of Michigan has fired Connor
Stallions. He was suspended earlier, sure

134
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.320
is now officially fired. Still,
you know, going into the the investigation

135
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.440
into that, which is just getting
worse and worse. You keep seeing pictures

136
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.559
of the Stallions on the sidelines with
you know, the coordinators and stuff,

137
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.200
and uh, you know, you
know again what's gonna happen. But I

138
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.840
don't know, but this is clearly
bad for Michigan. Yeah, we'll see

139
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.399
what happens there. I know there's
a lot of speculation about Harball to the

140
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.240
NFL as well. I don't know. We'll see what happens, but I

141
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.159
believe for the most part, they're
gonna give them some sort of extension if

142
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.960
he wants it. Well, they
were, They were about to announce one,

143
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.399
supposedly, and then they held off
because of all this they're gonna wait

144
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.320
and see what comes out of this. Yeah, we'll see. But sticking

145
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.840
with college football, Colorado has announced
the past Sherman is gonna be their new

146
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.120
play caller. Yeah. Yeah,
so it's crumbling over there. Yeah,

147
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.240
it's just fast, very fast.
Well, a lot of people said they

148
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.240
were gonna because it's be interesting to
see how Dion Sanders handled stuff when it

149
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.039
wasn't going on, when they were

I don't think he's gonna go. He

154
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.159
said he not that he's not there. You say things, any mean things,

155
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.600
But I don't think he can he
can handle the NFL. They're too

156
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:30.120
they're too much like him. Yeah
that's exactly what I was. Yeah right

157
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.000
here. Yeah, for college kids, he can be a guy that can

158
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.559
look up to. But for NFL
player that's maybe been there in the NFL

159
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.960
for five years, they need somebody
else. Yeah, they're gonna see your

162
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:52.200

because that was really when Scooby started. We started seeing a lot of him.

298
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.599
Yeah, no, it was It
was fun We actually had two NFL

299
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:18.119
linebackers in that room. We had
Marquise who was a former safety as well.

300
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.680
And it was really funny because that
first year Coach Casteele basically said,

301
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.160
hey, you know Scooby's playing.
Obviously he's a lot. He's really really

302
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.720
good as a youngster, but the
platebook was, you know, it was

303
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.720
pretty big. So whenever he didn't
know what to do and I had a

304
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.240
blitz, basically I would just tell
him to take the blitz over for me.

305
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:41.960
And that's how Coach Castiel called him
most of the time, because we

306
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.920
just wanted to let the guy who
his hair is always on fire and he's

307
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.440
like a you know, he got
like a battery pack and him he just

308
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.240
never stops, and we want him
after the quarterbacks. And so the one

309
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:55.880
interception I got, I was supposed
to be the one blitzing. Oh well

310
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.000
he went and then I went ahead
and I covered his team and I just

311
00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:02.519
so happened to get a saw it. So I asked him about when he

312
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:04.880
thought when he did he think that
he could play right away? What did

313
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.279
you see it? What did you
see that he would be pretty good?

314
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:11.160
Well, we were down at Fort
Wachuoka. You know, I remember vividly

315
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:15.720
he was going against our ones and
twos, and you know, he was

316
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.039
getting worked into the end of the
too deep. I think he started out

317
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.480
as a three or four and he
was going against all the other young guys

318
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:25.920
and it was just way too easy
for him. And so, uh,

319
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:29.640
you know, we started, you
know, he started in the two and

320
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.839
then I think Hanks ended up getting
dinged up a little bit, and then

321
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.160
he just played so good at the
same position that they basically said, yeah,

322
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.960
he's going to be starting from here
on house. So once he got

323
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:42.720
the position, which it didn't take
him very long to do, he never

324
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.440
looked back. Well, when you're
you know, when you're the guy on

325
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.880
the field and who's been there a
while and a guy like that comes along,

326
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.440
whether you know he was a linebacker
or a safety or whatever, and

327
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.079
you see that, do you have
the ear of the coaches to be able

328
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:00.599
to tell a coach, look,
this guy he's got it where he doesn't

329
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.960
have it or whatever? Do you
is it your place to do that or

330
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.000
do they hear that from you guys? Cooh yeah, and they'll they'll last

331
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.160
the old guys opinions or the lastest
start of the opinions. And you know,

332
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:12.519
my opinion was, Hey, this
kid's really good. You know who

333
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.160
We got to play them, so
you know, I didn't have to tell

334
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.319
coach Getsfield that Coach kt Stieler Andy
new he grew on the bark a few

335
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.519
times and one of the better defensive
coordinators out there. But yeah, I

336
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:27.319
mean both of us saw it pretty
instantly. Marquis saw it, and especially

337
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:30.920
guys on the other side of the
ball during practice, they all saw it

338
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:33.440
too because they had to go against
it every day and they you know,

339
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:36.319
they didn't like it. Yeah,
no, no question, Le's kid of

340
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:40.440
the game. Yeah, you bring
up your stuff with the UCLA. Yeah,

341
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:45.400
well we're talking about how you know, as much as we talk about

342
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.680
USC and Washington and Oregon and you
know, playing against those guys that over

343
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:52.240
the years, especially with Arizona's really
good teams. Okay, the twenty fourteen

344
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.799
team that won the Pac twelve South, the ninety eight team that only lost

345
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.640
one game, the ninety three team
that went to the field. All those

346
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.440
teams lost to UCLA. You know, it's kind of like you expect to

347
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.039
lose to USC, but when UCLA
comes around, you think you should beat

348
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.319
them, and then in those instances
they didn't. UCLA has kind of been

349
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:17.359
a thorn, even more so than
I think USC. You know, what

350
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:19.519
do you what do you think about
playing UCLA? What what goes through your

351
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:22.599
mind? As far as that goes
you. I think of them as a

352
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:26.480
thorn on the side too. I
mean my senior year, right Scooby's freshman

353
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.720
year, they had Blett Hunley and
that was a pretty damn good team as

354
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.279
well. And then that next year, even though Scooby had an insane game

355
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.880
when they were at the Rose Bowl, they still ended up you know,

356
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.000
pulling that one out. And I
think they were only the second team that

357
00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.039
we had lost to all year.
I think they had went on the road

358
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.559
the Oregon and then we lost on
the field goal sc and then we lost,

359
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:49.160
you know, a very close game
to UCLA as well. So they've

360
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.920
always been a thorn on the side. They have really good athletes, you

361
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.160
know, they have you know,
folks in LA that they can pick from

362
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.359
that might not be big times you
know, sc fans, and so they

363
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.079
get to pick up the litter too. And you know, obviously I have

364
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.480
chips Telly there, so good coach, good scheme and everything. And now

365
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.599
it looks like they have actually found
some decent quarterback play and they have a

366
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.640
good defense. So obviously we have
our work cutout for us. I think

367
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.440
last week's game against Oregon State may
go you know, a long way and

368
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:22.559
us being able to you know,
hang with this team down to the last

369
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:26.559
second and hopefully fill out of victory. But we'll see. Yeah, okay,

370
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.279
Well, it's weird to see UCLA
running up coming over here with a

371
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.119
great defense. It is. Yeah, normally they can ask Scoria, but

372
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.640
having a defense like that, it's
pretty surprising. But hey, you know,

373
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:40.920
it's the PAC twelve, last year
in existence, and it seems like

374
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.079
every damn teeth is really good.
So just another one. I'm gonna humble

375
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.319
myself a little bit, a little
bit, a smidge to my boy Jack

376
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:51.480
Fisher, I said yesterday, if
they get to eight, I'm gonna apologize.

377
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.519
I'll buy you dinner whatever you want. But you might be right.

378
00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:00.799
You might be right. Sorry about
what sorry about you being right on the

379
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.400
eight wins if they get there,
well, I think, yeah, I

380
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.480
was thinking seven and then bowl game. But if they keep going up like

381
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:11.559
this with the trajectory that they're that
they're playing right now, they might get

382
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.920
eight during the regular season, and
Mike Tack went on in the bowl game.

383
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:21.799
But I'm holding steady at eight.
So so the last really the last,

384
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:26.599
you know, these two games against
ranked teams and not teams that shouldn't

385
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.000
have been ranked. I mean,
they're legitimately ranked teams, and THESONEA has

386
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.960
played so well. You know,
you know Oregon in Washington State, is

387
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:38.519
was there a little something happened between
the two losses to USC and Washington and

388
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:44.119
then going into Washington State in Oregon
State, did you see anything different other

389
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:45.920
than maybe the quality of the team
that they played and they you know,

390
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:51.039
were able to beat the teams that
they that they did well. I think

391
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:53.599
the game when we went to Mississippi
State, we knew we should have won

392
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.759
that game in Mississippi State, even
tho they're kind of the middle of the

393
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:00.279
road STC team, I think that
you know, for a lot of that

394
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.559
game, we were able to control
the line of scrimmage. It really goes

395
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:06.839
to show you that, you know, we can actually play with teams that

396
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.640
have those types of big bodies.
And then I think when we only lost

397
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.160
to Washington by my touchdown, which
right now, I think that's the only

398
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.559
team that we played against that's better
than us, and then you know we've

399
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.559
all on the road, we should
have beat FC. I think pus back

400
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:25.640
to back against top ten teams really
go a long way for us believing that

401
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:27.640
we're actually a good team. You
know, I heard it clip the other

402
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:30.680
day where Jetfish he said, you
know this year, we don't you know,

403
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:33.799
it's not like we're wondering if we're
a good team. We know we're

404
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.799
a good team. So you know, in the locker room, everyone believes

405
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.759
that it's there. We have NFL
talent. And I think that as soon

406
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.160
as we kind of got the jitters
out on that first drive against Washington State,

407
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.799
we went and took into the woodshed. It's so funny because we broke

408
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.400
st it seems like, and then
we broke Washington State. I want to

409
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.079
see how Oregon State fairs after her
game. But I just think these guys

410
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:59.240
believe, they know that we're talented. We have a really good quarterback,

411
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:03.400
obviously see why people keep bringing up, you know, the fact and even

412
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:06.559
Jeff Fish knows. I think he's
trolling you guys. But you know,

413
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:08.839
I think we found the quarterback of
the future, and uh, you know,

414
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:12.240
from here on how it's just about
improving every single week. And then

415
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:15.200
you know, I mean, think
about the expectations going in the next year.

416
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.599
Guys, like if we do win
eight games, you know, we're

417
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.640
able to hang on to the coach
and thankfully we're going to the Big twelve,

418
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:23.400
we'll have a little bit more money
to retain them. But I mean,

419
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:26.240
think about what next year is going
to look like. They just need

420
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.400
to keep getting better. I agree
with you trolling us, It really is

421
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:33.759
real quick. Yeah, I think
he's heard the rumblings, and I think

422
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.400
he's trolling you guys. You know, you talk about breaking the other team.

423
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.759
I think somebody posted a stat a
couple of days ago so on for

424
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:49.000
the only team of of Arizona's first
they've got eight opponents. The only team

425
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:56.480
that won its next game after after
playing Arizona is Washington. Everybody else hearn

426
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:00.759
pretty big team. I think,
yeah, they're pretty decent, but every

427
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.359
other team that's played Arizona has lost
its next game, so you're right to

428
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.240
be interesting to see what Oregon State
does. So Jake, Jake, I

429
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.680
asked Jed a couple of things about
culture and when that started to change,

430
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.720
and two about confidence. Let me
ask you this, at what point in

431
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:18.960
any of your good teams that you
started feeling that you had what it took

432
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:23.720
to move forward because of confidence?
Well, you know what I think,

433
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:26.640
Uh see, when I ended up
getting there, it was after they had

434
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:32.440
beat uy in the bowl game my
freshman year. I saw things really start

435
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:37.880
to click. I would say probably
right after that Iowa game. We went

436
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.559
up to what was it Oregon State. Yeah, we had those back to

437
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.960
back they at Oregon State and we
had Washington and we lost on an insane

438
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:51.200
call against Washington that that game was
rigged and no problem. But we beat

439
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:53.440
Oregon State, you know, and
we knew we were pretty good because the

440
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:56.759
conference was pretty damn good. And
then you know, I think towards the

441
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:59.279
end of the year, well we
ended up beating sc you know, we

442
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:00.640
knew that we can you know,
pretty much play with anyone, and then

443
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:04.720
we lost that heartbreaker. Obviously,
before that Oregon go on the road,

444
00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:08.480
we beat as in the last segment
the field goal, we knew we were

445
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:11.039
good. And then going into that
next season, it was just about taking

446
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:17.319
the next step. And unfortunately,
after that damn debacle where we absolutely got

447
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:21.440
just ran over by Stanford, it
seemed like we lost a lot of our

448
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:25.319
mojo. So I've seen it both
ways with rich Rod. I mean,

449
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:26.480
we came out, we started with
a bang, we beat a pretty good

450
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.160
Toledo team, and then after we
ended up beating Oklahoma State, we knew

451
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.359
we can hang with folks. Yeah, and then we had a middle of

452
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:36.279
the season law didn't play very well, and then we finished strong. So,

453
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:38.559
like I said, I've seen a
team lose its confidence. I've seen

454
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:42.519
a team, you know, play
with confidence through the roof. With this

455
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:48.480
rebuild, year three is always kind
of Hey, this is when culture should

456
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:51.200
be good. This is when we
should have good players, especially now at

457
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:53.240
the transfer portal. This is when
we should be you know, we should

458
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:57.359
have our quarterback, our systems in
place. And Jed's right on the money

459
00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:00.640
right there in yere three. He's
killed, he really is. And and

460
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:07.319
you know again you said, you
sit here in my shoes watching Arizona all

461
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.440
these years, when you think you're
always thinking the worst instead of the bed

462
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:12.119
I have no confidence. Okay,
I'll just say it like that when it

463
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:15.559
comes Arizona football, because you know, we've had our heartbroken so many times.

464
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:18.759
But it's like you know, I
said earlier in the year, the

465
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:22.440
Stanford game this year, that's a
game that Arizona loses in the past.

466
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:25.440
It goes on the road, plays
bad against a bad team, and loses.

467
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:27.599
And Arizona pulled that one out.
And then you know, you play

468
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:30.519
a couple of good games, you
start feeling good about yourself, and then

469
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:34.359
you step on yourself and you and
you lose the game. And but they

470
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:37.519
haven't done that. They played those
those two really good games against USC and

471
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:41.880
Washington even though they were both losses, and they could have, you know,

472
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:42.960
they could have had their heads down. Instead they went and beat the

473
00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:47.640
crap out of Washington State, a
great win, feeling good about yourself.

474
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:51.960
And here comes Oregon State and again
another game that historically Arizona loses, and

475
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:55.559
they didn't. And so it's like
it's hard to get it's hard to feel

476
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.000
like this is real as far as
that goes. But so far they're proven

477
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:03.160
it well and imagine if we didn't
go on the road and play you know,

478
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:06.960
a pretty decent Mississippi State team.
I think if Stanford would have been

479
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:08.920
our first big WILL game, I
think we might have lost that one.

480
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:15.799
Yeah, and the fact that you
know, Fafita came in and he was

481
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.720
there to save the day. I
mean sometimes these seasons, especially during a

482
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:22.920
turnaround, there are more things that
you get lucky with and sometimes that's okay.

483
00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:26.759
I just honestly, I think that
these guys are peaking at the right

484
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.960
time. Defense is playing lights out. You know, we've already seen that

485
00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:34.200
we can go toe to toe with
in Oregon State, and you know,

486
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.359
I think we broke him in the
fourth quarter when we needed first downs,

487
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.640
we got him, you know,
all number five I think it was was

488
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.559
talking trash before the game and Williams
ran him over to plays in a row

489
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.880
to kind of ice the cake and
just show them that we're here and you

490
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:49.720
know, we know what we're doing. We know how to ice a game,

491
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:52.960
and I guess to get the quality
opponent that kind of just shows you

492
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.000
that we're already here and all we
can do from here on I was just

493
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.599
keep building. So ask me your
what if questions, do you you okay,

494
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:04.039
did you as an athlete, you
know, ever play What if I

495
00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:07.119
asked Jed this, you know,
what if you don't play so crappy in

496
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.480
the first quarter of the Mississippi State
game, what if one play goes different

497
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:15.799
and you win, usc you're sitting
here seven and one instead of you know,

498
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:19.000
five and three. Do players play
the white if game like that?

499
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:21.680
He said, he doesn't. I
know he does. There's no way he

500
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.519
did you kill yourself? Yeah,
this is the thing. Coaches, even

501
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:28.279
if they do play that, they're
I mean, they're not going to put

502
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:30.759
that in the player's head. No, they mean it's one of those things

503
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.039
where you might talk to it amongst
yourselves. But at the same time,

504
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.519
we know that we should be the
seven to one team. However we're not.

505
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:39.440
And so what that goes to show
is that we still do need to

506
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:43.119
continue building the culture, right,
you know, we still need to get

507
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:45.799
a few things tweeked, you know, we need to get you know,

508
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:49.079
maybe some of these young guys who
may have messed the thing up or two

509
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.599
you know, maybe they just need
to tighten up their you know what they're

510
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:55.440
doing, and hey, listen to
turnovers the turnovers. That was big the

511
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:59.480
first game. You know, if
we had one less turnover, we win

512
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:01.880
that game. Right after the first
quarter, we controlled the entire band ball

513
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:07.400
game. And then when it comes
to the sc debacle, I mean at

514
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:09.400
that point that hadn't been beaten,
and maybe because we hadn't had one of

515
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:14.240
those big upsets, you know against
a team like an SC or a Washington,

516
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:15.799
maybe that's why we ended up losing
in the end. You never know.

517
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:20.000
But once you get past that first
one, and you know, all

518
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.680
of a sudden you fix the turnover
deal, which we have now for the

519
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:24.839
most part, then you start winning
the games that you shouldn't and now you

520
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:29.359
don't have to look back and say
with us, yeah, okay, what

521
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:30.839
do you got going? You got
you're probably pretty busy now with the open

522
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:35.920
enrollment. Yeah, it's crazy.
They got like four or five people call

523
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:38.279
me today like, oh, open
enrollment. What everyone over the airways has

524
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:40.880
to know. We don't have an
open enrollment. You can get on one

525
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:45.000

a big thing in terms of there's not

iHeartRadio WAF. This is Eye on
the Ball with Steve Rivera and Jay Gatzalez

597
00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:39.519
on Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. Hey, welcome back to Why on the Ball

598
00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:43.800
you know, Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, He's Jay. We

599
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:49.079
got thirteen minutes, Got said with
us to bear witness to another week of

600
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:57.920
Friday's Fabulous five Friday Pick not so
fab sometimes. See, I'm lacking confidence

601
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.440
and my culture sucks right now.
That's not a way to go in two

602
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:05.920
weekends. We've been talking about confidence
and culture since Jed's press conference, and

603
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:08.920
I have no confidence and my culture
is just terrible, right, I'm okay

604
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:13.480
with that. I'm okay with that. I'm down. Last week I did

605
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:16.719
very well, went perfect perfect week. Yeah yeah, move me up into

606
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:21.039
the standings. I like it.
I like it. So let's you go

607
00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:22.360
first. You can give you the
first option to go, all right,

608
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:28.920
and we do. We both have
to pick Alabama cle Alabama LSU against Alabama

609
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:31.719
minus three against LSU. So that's
the pick of the week for us.

610
00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:35.880
So I'm gonna start with, Well, I just put this game on my

611
00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:38.719
board because the sid he did his
homework and told me that Queen Yours is

612
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:44.400
not starting to Texas. Maybe that
explains why it's also bad because I saw

613
00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:49.159
this great point spread with Texas only
giving four to Kansas and or Kansas State,

614
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:51.719
and I thought that's an easy pick, and then I find out that

615
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:54.559
Queen Yours is out. So I
took that one off the board and went

616
00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:59.320
to a game that I really did
want to pick anyways, but ran out

617
00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:02.280
of ran out of picks to use
on it. So I'm gonna take the

618
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:07.360
Huskies. I'm gonna take Washington giving
three at USC. I think USC is

619
00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:12.920
over and uh, Washington is just
really good. I know, they haven't

620
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:15.440
played well the last two weeks.
But all think I do is win this

621
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:20.400
game, you know, and it's
a three point line. I think,

622
00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:22.639
you know. I don't think they're
gonna blow it here. I think they're

623
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:25.320
on guard. They're gonna be up
for this game. It's at USC and

624
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:30.480
I think Washington kills them. Okay, I like it. I agree there,

625
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:36.519
go see agrees. That doesn't mean
a lot of the kids agreed with

626
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:43.320
anything. They're in the dumpster too. All right, I'm gonna go with

627
00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:45.199
uh. I'm gonna go with my
pros as I always do. First,

628
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:52.000
I'm gonna go with Washington. The
generals that they'll be the commanders of you.

629
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:52.960
The general, Yeah, the general, who the hell they are?

630
00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:57.480
I don't even need to know their
name. I think I'm okay. They're

631
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:02.559
getting points give from the England New
England. Yeah, yeah, I think

632
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:07.360
they're playing well enough to get the
three or play the three straight up and

633
00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:09.239
beat them actually straight up? Wow? Okay, yeah, all right,

634
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:14.280
Well I wouldn't put any money on
either of this. No, this weekend's

635
00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:17.239
NFL schedules bad. This is bad. Oh, there's some good games,

636
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:22.039
but it's hard to pick games.
Good games between bad teams. There're just

637
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:25.280
no my good nuts. There's a
couple well yeah, yeah, and there's

638
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:30.119
no way I'm putting any that's the
same right at ninth. Well, yes,

639
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:35.840
there's thirty here all right. My
next game, I'm going I'm gonna

640
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:39.639
stay on a bandwagon, the anti
Hawaii bandwagon, and I'm gonna take Nevada

641
00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:45.920
giving only three and a half really
at home to Hawaii. Well, that's

642
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:49.920
a good pick. I didn't see
that pick. I didn't look at that

643
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:52.840
pick. But that's a good pick. Yeah, they did me. Well,

644
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:55.800
I mean Samy State just beat the
crap out of That's someone you got,

645
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:58.800
right. Yeah, that's one of
the two I got. I got

646
00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:00.679
two games right last week. I
just can't. I can't get this our

647
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:05.440
special and I can't get my lock. I've been terrible at those all season

648
00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:07.320
long. Other than that, I'm
losing points. Other than that, Missus

649
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:10.159
Lincoln, that was the place.
I'm losing a point a week because of

650
00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:14.400
that. So that's what's a score. Let's let the audience know the score.

651
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:17.039
God do we have to all right? Do you know the score?

652
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:21.159
It's I don't, I know,
it's I know it's back drove please.

653
00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:28.480
Uh, Steve's got twenty nine.
I've got no no yet, and I've

654
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:32.840
got seven seven, So we're not
even. We're barely at the halfway point

655
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:36.360
of this one. But here's the
deal. Steve's got twenty nine wins.

656
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:39.039
Okay, twenty nine picks. You
picked twenty nine out of out of forty

657
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:44.559
five, which is a really good
percentage. Six. So you've got twenty

658
00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:47.320
nine wins and you've got twenty nine
points. Right, I've picked fourteen games

659
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:51.199
around, fourteen out of fourteen and
thirty one. It's thirty one percent.

660
00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:54.079
It's awful. Or I got fourteen
wins, but I've only got seven points

661
00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:59.719
because they keep losing the lock,
the extra the games with the extra value.

662
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:05.840
I'm two and sixteen combined on the
on our lock and on our special

663
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:08.159
game, right, And the thing
is you have to pick it. You

664
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:12.599
have to hit those games. So
yeah, all right, so anyway,

665
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:15.440
okay, so all right, so
I got a bad minus three and a

666
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:20.199
half at home against Why Okay,
no, it's okay, that's your second

667
00:43:20.239 --> 00:43:22.639
pick, right, Yeah, okay, I'm gonna go with my second pro.

668
00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:28.239
I'm gonna go Cleveland. I don't
think I've ever picked these two teams

669
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:32.079
in my life, Cleveland and Washington. Who they play Cards, Cardinals,

670
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:37.079
Yeah, Cardinals toast. I think
this is on the road to Yeah there.

671
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:40.119
The Browns are at home. Yeah, but they're getting they're giving eight.

672
00:43:40.480 --> 00:43:45.239
They've got a quarterback what nobody's ever
heard of for the Cardinals. I

673
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:51.440
just don't trust the Cardinals to not
cover seven eight points. Okay, I

674
00:43:51.559 --> 00:43:54.280
don't I trust the I don't trust
the Browns. It's like I don't know

675
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:58.840
they're thanking you for that. Yeah, okay, all right, all right

676
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:02.800
again Alice, Alabama's the last game
or the special. So I'm moving on

677
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:07.440
to the to the NFL. I'm
taking this one. Then I'm locking the

678
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:14.719
Eagles giving three at home to the
Cowboys. If the Eagles lose, you

679
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:17.400
fault. It is the Cowboys in
front of the Cowboys, and the games

680
00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:20.800
do not get up. They don't
not get up for the games. So

681
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:23.639
if they get up somehow, it's
on me. Me. I like the

682
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:27.639
Eagles. They hosted me a couple
of weeks ago. Many times I'm trying

683
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.000
to get that out of my brain. May terms, I've heard that it's

684
00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:36.239
on you, it's on you.
She's all these games, the Gonzol strict.

685
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:39.239
I've got I've got the Eagles.
That's my lock at home against the

686
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:45.079
Cowboys. Okay, I'm gonna go
to college. Now. I usually go

687
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:47.800
all pro, but I but I
really like certain games in the college level,

688
00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:50.920
which which makes no sense to me, but us like you're only taking

689
00:44:50.960 --> 00:44:53.480
too yet because I didn't like to
schedule I did. I would have gone

690
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:58.639
with the Dolphins big had it been
in Miami, but it's not in Miami.

691
00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:01.599
It's in Case. And you know
there's that there's that girl who sings

692
00:45:01.679 --> 00:45:07.719
whatever her name is, she'll be
there and blah blah blah girl, that

693
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:13.280
Brittany. Okay, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go

694
00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:17.000
with I picked them twice this year. New Mexico State. I picked him

695
00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:21.480
at the beginning of the year.
They screwed me when they played the U

696
00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:23.840
mass and they lost, right,
it was a U mess. Who's the

697
00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:27.320
Yeah, they lost and it was
a good game, they just lost to

698
00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:29.239
them, and I said, oh
God, what's up? And then they've

699
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:32.559
been winning. So they play Middle
Tennessee State at home. They've covered every

700
00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:36.639
game since. I think every pretty
close to it. So in New Mexico

701
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:40.360
State a very good quarterback. Yeah
yeah, that they have. Their coach

702
00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:43.800
is pretty good too. Used to
be he had a heart attacker, he's

703
00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:46.199
something. He has health issues.
Now they got him another winning on a

704
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:52.039
game like one of those random ones. Dah yeah, which is they never

705
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:54.760
do, but they do now.
So New Mexico State, all right,

706
00:45:54.920 --> 00:46:00.920
they're they're giving not too many three
yeah, three, all right, okay,

707
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:07.280
all right, got home? Interesting
pick. All right, my other

708
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:10.400
pro pick, I am taking lost
Bengals. I feel like Joe Burrow and

709
00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:14.360
his boys have gotten their stuff together. I like that when I got off

710
00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:19.719
of it, but not because I
just like other games. They're giving a

711
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.000
point and a half to the Bills, so essentially they just got to win

712
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:27.039
the game. They're at home,
it's a Sunday night game. I feel

713
00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:31.000
like the Bengals are kind of you
know, they're coming in right. It

714
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:36.119
didn't look good for the first one
was hurt and all kinds of stuff like

715
00:46:36.239 --> 00:46:40.440
that. So yeah, yeah,
I've got I got lost those Bengals.

716
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:45.400
Okay, okay, going back to
college, we got five minutes. I'm

717
00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:49.559
gonna go with the team that I
haven't picked yet. I'm disappinted to haven't

718
00:46:49.599 --> 00:46:54.000
yet put Wyoming, Wyoming, who
plays very well at home. They played

719
00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:59.519
Colorado State, and I'm still surprised
that Colorado State hasn't played better since they

720
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:02.679
gave Colorado that a great game.
Yeah, so I'm taking Wyoming. I

721
00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:06.079
don't know what, I can't remember
what. The spread was six and a

722
00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:08.119
half and that's not a big number
giving they're giving six and a half.

723
00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:12.719
Yeah, and that's my luck.
And you're like, you like the Western

724
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:16.679
Athletic Conference guy, man, so
Wyoming plus that's my little black guys taking

725
00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:21.840
Mexico State Wyoming. Right, well, you're gonna have to pick a big

726
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:25.079
game here coming. Yeah, and
I know, all right, okay,

727
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:29.719
we might lose this game, bull
of us because it might be a push.

728
00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:31.199
That's a three point line. Yeah, it's it's a scary. It's

729
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:37.679
a scary thing. Everything in my
brain. Oh no, please don't,

730
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:42.920
says take the safe pick and take
Alabama, because that's the safe pick.

731
00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:49.239
Giving three at home LSU, they're
fired up, Alabama's been playing well,

732
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:55.440
and everybody in our pool is taking
Alabama. So you know that I'm taking

733
00:47:55.599 --> 00:48:00.320
l s U. I think I
think they're gonna score a bunch of points.

734
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:06.960
The question is can they keep Alabama
from scoring. Obama's not the same

735
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:09.159
team I used to. Yeah,
and I don't like the fact that it's

736
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:14.360
at Alabama's. But I just feel
like LSU is one of those teams that

737
00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:21.000
can just offensively, can can run
you out. And so part of it

738
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:23.480
is I'm taking this because I know
everybody else is taking Alabama. Part of

739
00:48:23.559 --> 00:48:29.360
it is because I think Alabama's gonna
win this game. So therefore I'm going

740
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:37.880
opposite of what I think. Welcome
to the stuff that's in Jay's We could

741
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:40.960
speak two hours to this, but
we only have a three minutes. All

742
00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:45.199
Right, what are you doing?
I am going with Alabama because they're at

743
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:51.559
home, and for the only reason
they're at home, and it's a big

744
00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:53.639
game. Obviously they need to win
to keep some kind of hope for a

745
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:57.159
beginning, you know, to playoffs. In the playoffs, LSHU is already

746
00:48:57.199 --> 00:48:59.960
lost. They lost big earlier this
year, they lost Florida State. Still,

747
00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:05.519
they can still get into the uh
into the into the SEC Championship.

748
00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:07.599
So I'm taking BAM. I'm taking
Bama. I'm glad you went the other

749
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:12.639
way, although you know I'm not
worried about you anymore. You're not one

750
00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:15.559
word to stay at the top.
I'm not worried about you either. That's

751
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:19.679
fine. That was gonna be somebody. I don't even like you that much

752
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:22.239
anymore. We did the root for
that for both of us yesterday. We

753
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:24.840
all have that one guy. In
fact, a friend of mine from back

754
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:29.960
Cope was listening to the sources,
Steve, you're my guy. You know

755
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:31.320
that. They they put up with
you because they put up on you.

756
00:49:31.480 --> 00:49:35.519
They love you anyway, you know. But he's my best friend. So

757
00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:38.039
I toltally get it. There's part
of a lot more guys like that out

758
00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:40.840
there, all right. So,
uh, Herry, here's the here of

759
00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:45.320
the games. I've got Washington the
Huskies giving three at USC. I've got

760
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:51.599
Nevada giving three and a half at
home against Hawaii. I've taken l s

761
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:53.679
U. Man, I don't know
why. I don't know why, but

762
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:58.639
I shouldn't. But I'm gonna.
We just heard the explanation. I shouldn't,

763
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:01.679
but I'm gonna. I'm gonna take
l SU getting three against against Alabama.

764
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:06.400
I've got I've locked up on the
Eagles giving three to the Cowboys,

765
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:08.840
the Eagles at home, Bengs at
home giving one and a half to the

766
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:14.159
Bills. Steve's going to New Mexico
State against Middle Tennessee a game that probably

767
00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:19.639
isn't even on TV anywhere, giving
three Wyoming against Colorado State and an old

768
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:23.880
Western Athletic Conference matchup. When I'm
giving six and a half, he's taking

769
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:28.559
Alabama opposite of me in in our
special. And then you've got the Browns

770
00:50:28.599 --> 00:50:32.679
giving eight to the Cardinals and the
Commander's getting three from the Patriots. SE's

771
00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:36.039
way up there in the standings in
our pool. So good luck to you,

772
00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:37.960
Steve. Yeah, thank you.
Go stay up there now once you

773
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:40.480

774
00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:44.760

even gonna you know. It's like

775
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:46.719
I just want to get my nose
above water and get some air. That's

776
00:50:46.760 --> 00:50:52.320
