WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:07.799
Jaden Solace. They have their eye
on the ball on Tucson Sports Station,

2
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:13.000
Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Hey,
welcome back, joining the ball on Fox

3
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.800
Sports fourteen fifty. On Steve Robero, he's Jackensaus. Now we have some

4
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:21.000
breaking news, or at least I
hope Jay does, at least I on

5
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:27.039
the ball breaking news on Fox Sports
fourteen fifty. Okay, So I'm gonna

6
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.160
admit that I don't know all the
nuts and bolts of this, but there's

7
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:36.560
old bunch of people losing their mind
over the nc double a's denial of a

8
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:43.280
transfer of tes Walker to Caroline.
It's the second one writer something. Well,

9
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.359
here's the deal. He's he this
would be his third school. Okay,

10
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.280
he was a kid. He was
a North Carolina Central and he never

11
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.679
played there because of COVID. Then
he went to Kent State played really,

12
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.560
you know, one season, but
he was there for two seasons because that

13
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.159
he was injured one year and he
wanted to transfer to North Carolina Site,

14
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.200
part partially siding family and mental health
reasons. His grandmother's who's very close to

15
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.159
his, is ailing and he wanted
to transfer there, and the NCAA and

16
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.079
he needed a waver to do it, to be able to put it,

17
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:21.079
to be eligible to play UH this
year, and the NC double said nope,

18
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.560
And so they're losing their minds.
So you got people out there were

19
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.239
saying the NC double A is screwed. You're a bunch of jerks, YadA,

20
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:32.359
YadA, YadA. But then there's
what I'm reading is from other people

21
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:38.239
saying, wait a minute. The
coaches in schools wanted this rule where you

22
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.079
know, if you're talking about a
third transfer, that there were certain things

23
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.519
that you know that they wanted and
play certain criteria, and he doesn't meet

24
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.680
the criteria. And so they kind
of created this themselves. I mean,

25
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:55.079
Mac Brown went on a released his
whole thing. At the end of it,

26
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.079
he's a shame on you, NC
NC double A shame on you.

27
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.000
He's pissed. It's always like the
regular thing. If it doesn't apply to

28
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:05.200
you, you're okay with it.
It applies to you, then now it

29
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.799
sucks. No, it sucks,
right, And I get it. The

30
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.360
NC double A has a horrible reputation
of not really you know, watching out

31
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.599
for athletes, YadA YadA, YadA. I don't I don't know one way

32
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.639
or the other. You know.
I mean even even uh Jay Billis,

33
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:22.400
who doesn't even you know, he's
a basketball guy, went on there and

34
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:24.199
ripped you know, the NC double
a bunchet, and you know so many

35
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.719
people like that who are doing that. But then there's others. Wait a

36
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.520
minute, this is this is how, this is how the coaches. Then

37
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.240
you know, because of what's happened
with the transfer portal, this is what

38
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.159
you wanted and now that it's being
applied, you have a problem with it.

39
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.919
So anyways, yeah, but that
that's become a big deal over over

40
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:49.560
uh with this kid tes Walkers,
we'll see they ncy double as even threatening

41
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.919
to sue and stuff like that.
Okay, I got really, I'm not

42
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.560
gonna bring this one up yet.
Oh. We talked about Jim Milky,

43
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:01.199
the former Sun Side which he did
did pass his services or services November eleven

44
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:07.599
at the at the Pima Pima West
Campus Final Old. He was eighty six

45
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.599
and you said he was old old
back when I was young, so he

46
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.080
wasn't so much. I mean when
I was ten, he was thirty something

47
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.520
thirty something. Well, when you're
ten, everybody everybody's old, right.

48
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:27.199
I always thought my dad was old
from day one. Anyways, Uh,

49
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.560
okay for that. We just told
a little piece of information for you,

50
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.919
Steve, for tonight because you're thinking
about taking this game. Travis Kelsey is

51
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.360
out. He's uh he tight end. He's got a bone bruise. It

52
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:43.319
says it should not keep him out
long term, but he will not play

53
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.080
tonight against the Lions in the season
opening Thursday night game. The only game

54
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:51.879
tonight. No good game, that's
a really good game. I'm gonna have

55
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:55.800
it on and uh but Kelsey is
not gonna play. You could have easily

56
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.280
gone with this game for your thing. Puts the Thursday game or the Texas

57
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:08.680
Alabama here. Yeah. Yeah,
well opening weekend of football. Another piece

58
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:13.879
of on this game tonight. According
to the Athletics NFL projection model, the

59
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.000
Chiefs are the favorite to win the
Super Bowl at just over fifteen percent.

60
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.199
The Lions come in tent at three
point one percent. So we've got two

61
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:26.120
teams. They're in the top ten. Yeah, in this projection model for

62
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.040
the Super Bowl. So it's actually
a good game. While we were asking

63
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.680
Ryan Ratke about the Lions, yeah, no, it's it's it's then't been

64
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.800
this good in a long time.
You know, you can start seeing the

65
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.319
lions fence come out of the woodwork, or at least out of the cellar.

66
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.480
Let's say they get blown out tonight, Is that just do they go

67
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.319
away? No? No, because
they're gonna be pretty good. And it's

68
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.800
Kansas City. Remember last year we're
in Kansas City. Yeah, and remember

69
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.959
we were talking to McManaman. I
think it was about the No, no,

70
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.240
no, we're talking Jody Jody at
the time. Although McManaman really liked

71
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.279
Kyler. Uh Jody in and I
said, what about the first game?

72
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:06.439
I don't think Keennessy is gonna show
up because it's I remember the one and

73
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:12.399
then they got their budget. I
remember that. I do. Excuse me,

74
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.720
sorry, huh Jody. I said
that with all sincerity, please come

75
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.759
back to the show. We got
to get Joy back on the show.

76
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:26.000
Do what he thinks of these damn
cardinals there, just he knows what he

77
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.120
thinks. That they suck. Yeah, that they that they're just gonna be

78
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.319
awful. Well, do remind everybody
talking about this and we're doing We're gonna

79
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.240
do our fab By Friday picks after
after we have our guest David Adam coming

80
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:43.560
up. All right, So again
the continuing impact of of what what Colorado

81
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:48.839
did on on Saturday. Recruiting sites
are saying that the number one quarterback recruit

82
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:55.319
for twenty twenty five a kid by
the name of Bryce Underwood. He's he

83
00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:00.800
was pretty much locked into or leaning
towards Michigan LSU or Alabama Pears. He's

84
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:06.920
gonna be taking a visit to Colorado
so once again, but Norrisanders is going

85
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.879
to be there for a little while, you know, at least another year.

86
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.879
At least another year because he's already
been two, right, he's already

87
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:15.759
played two the second year. This
is this. I thought it was the

88
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:20.199
third. Could I could be wrong? No, I think last year.

89
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.800
I thought I could be wrong.
I think he's a sophomore, maybe because

90
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.959
the hundred kids the second year,
I don't know. I don't know.

91
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.279
I think he's a sophomore. So
how many how many? The spread is

92
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.079
five? Now I'm asking wrong person, But how many times? How many

93
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:42.279
games you think they're gonna win?
Party four or five? Colorado? Yeah?

94
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:53.839
Uh oh god, Steve, I
don't know that the over under five

95
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.639
they're gonna hit the three and a
half? Yeah, because because you,

96
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.319
I mean when they when the when? When the three and a half came

97
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.839
up. Nobody thought they were gonna
win this first game, right, so

98
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:10.120
it's certainly, uh, you know
they're gonna they're gonna go over the three.

99
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:14.160
How they're gonna get to six?
That's a bowl game? Very this

100
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.519
is this is the world we live
in. I don't want to call it

101
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:21.639
the Gonzales factor, but it's an
overreaction to what just happened. Right,

102
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.319
They played TCO TCU like crazy played
them. Well, they were one and

103
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.519
eleven last year, and now when
they're in the top twenty five, Yeah,

104
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:35.000
how how does this happen? It's
a reaction to to be big game.

105
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:41.240
They're not the top twenty five.
Come on, they couldn't be a

106
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.720
bunch of who sports writers. Yeah, it's just it's what what happened yesterday.

107
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.079
But then on the other hand,
Steve, you know, we always

108
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.439
talk about how the preseason Paul comes
out, and it's based on what you

109
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.160
did last year, of course,
right always, and then it's kind of

110
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.480
like nobody ever adjusts that. You
know, for the first several week.

111
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.399
It takes several weeks for it to
fix where Okay, now what you're doing

112
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.639
this year matters and a bunch of
people have gone on and said, Okay,

113
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.600
I'm forgetting I'm basing my poll now
on what happened over the weekend.

114
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.639
Sure, and what I saw.
I saw Florida State kick the hall at

115
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.759
LSU during my top five some people
the number one, right, I saw,

116
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.240
you know, I saw Colorado,
you know, beat TCU on the

117
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.639
road, crazy game. They look
like one of the twenty five best teams.

118
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.879
Didn't We don't know how good TCU
right, right, but they look

119
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:35.480
like one of the twenty five best
teams you know, in the country to

120
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:37.559
me based on what they did.
So it's kind of like it's you know,

121
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.799
we wanted both ways, right because
we would say Colorado sucked last year,

122
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.279
so they should still suck until they
do more. But they look so

123
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.039
good. That's the realistic way to
look at it. Wait till we proved

124
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.879
me, until and prove me until
I can't avoid not putting you in the

125
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:56.320
twenty top twenty five. But you
know, it is what it is.

126
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.039
Yeah, I mean, they did
look impressive, and it's going back Shorge

127
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.879
Sanders as a junior, yeah,
two years I think and Travis Hunters,

128
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.600
Yeah, I think that was a
case. So you know, what if

129
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:11.240
he has a good year. It's
like the kid from USC right, Caleb

130
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.320
Right. If he doesn't want to
come out, he can come out and

131
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.440
let Sanders be the number you Sanders
has a great year and he gets on

132
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.480
NFL draft Board's dad out? Yeah, you know, go get the next

133
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.759
guy. Yeah for sure, and
take your loud of it, Tom,

134
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.480
would you hey? Exactly? And
you know and and and and Travis Hunter

135
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:37.639
would be able to go this year
too after so interesting but a wins Hey.

136
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.279
But it's stranger things have happened.
I know, stranger things have happened.

137
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.960
That's all I have to Oh,
okay, that's more stuff. Oh

138
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.879
did you see what happened with the
Jones guy out the Raiders? He I

139
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.919
guess he's holding out right, And
he kind of posted something on the internet,

140
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.679
Uh, kind of a weird one
where the where the Raiders eventually had

141
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.639
somebody go in to go see if
he was okay because it was that and

142
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.120
he's kind of holding out and he
doesn't want to play for them and all

143
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.200
that. So it's just one of
those things. I don't get Jay this

144
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.799
these guys getting a lot of money, like a lot of a lot of

145
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.559
money, money that you and I
have never seen combined. And they play

146
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.919
and they're they're grateful to be with
the team in the first first year or

147
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:20.159
two, and then beyond that,
I want more money. The money gets

148
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.360
ordinary. Want more money, I
mean, the money gets ordinary. It's

149
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.720
no longer. They get used to
the money. And now they say,

150
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.960
well, I know I'm making this, but I should be making more right

151
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.480
and and and they you know,
they get used to the big giant paychecks

152
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.399
that they're cashing in, the cars
that they get and whatnot. And now

153
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.600
they don't remember two years ago,
I couldn't feed myself because I was at

154
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.440
a university. I had no nil, you know, and I was getting

155
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.799
we have fifty bucks a week to
eat on. And maybe it's it's easy

156
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.919
for you and I to talk about
it because it's we'll never see that type

157
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.200
of money. And they're you know, they're trying to protect whatever, They're

158
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.000
trying to protect their family or themselves. But when you have millions, when

159
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.759
you're making millions, how much you
need. That's how you and I think,

160
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.000
Steve. And it's because we don't
have those million, but that's how

161
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.039
you and I think. I mean, I think that way. I think,

162
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.320
be grateful for what you got.
And how manna you know you're you're

163
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.200
making your twenty million dollars a year, Why do you need twenty two or

164
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.519
twenty three for what? Right?
You're making enough money to set your your

165
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.679
family up for generations. Why are
you going to hold out because you're not

166
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.360
making twenty five? Yeah? Right, things like that. And again,

167
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.919
you know they always say you never
get it back when you hold out.

168
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.879
Right, No, no, no, you're you know you're you're making you're

169
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.279
making twelve million a year. You
want to make you don't you want to

170
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.639
make twenty five, so you're gonna
hold out. Okay, finally you get

171
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.279
your twenty five, but the twelve
that you lost because you sat out a

172
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.559
season isn't in there. The funny
thing about it, most most of the

173
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.399
times they waive that, you know, they wave that, yeah, well

174
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.879
you don't have to pay it.
You know we'll pay you. So I

175
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:00.799
don't know. It's like the guy
will go, what's his name who was

176
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.360
holding out of Kansas City? Can't
remember somebody who was going to hold out.

177
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.879
And then you saw Bosa get that
big deals on defensive end. I

178
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.399
can't remember it was on the Kansas
City, whether he shows up doesn't show

179
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.279
up. Yeah, you know,
I'll never understand you know, I'll never

180
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.120
understand that when you don't when you
and I don't have money, we don't

181
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.919
understand that. If you're Showhyotan and
you think you're worth six hundred million dollars

182
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.480
but you're only getting five fifty you
No, it's good for right? I

183
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.360
mean, how much is too much? Or how much is at all?

184
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:31.200
Yeah? Exactly? Well, well, I want to be the highest paid

185
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.759
guy. Five hundred and fifty million
dollars over ten years? Pretty good?

186
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.519
How is that not enough? How
is that not enough money for you?

187
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.440
I don't understand how these guys do? You guys do that? By the

188
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.559
way, you you guys want to
sponsor the show, just go ahead and

298
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.440
Thanks for joining us. Wanted to
get kind of a it's been a

299
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.759
while since we've seen seen or heard
from you on the on the show.

300
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.559
How are things going. What do
you like about the calf so far?

301
00:20:52.279 --> 00:21:00.440
I'm devided. That's a good thing. Is that it's all right. That's

302
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:06.119
the main thing. All the other
stuff is just icing on the cable and

303
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:10.440
undefeated is is what it's about.
Did you see enough icing last week?

304
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:19.920
Though not really only because you couldn't
really get a field perfect thing because of

305
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:23.200
the competition, right right, right, But I felt the same way.

306
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:26.960
I mean, you had games like
that, Dave, were you know,

307
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.039
you're playing somebody that you knew,
you know, you knew you you were

308
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:32.880
going to handle and stuff like that. What was what was your approach to

309
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:37.200
those games and what did you get
out of those other than getting some time,

310
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.680
you know, running the plays and
that kind of stuff. Well,

311
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:47.559
those type of games, you're shooting
for something ridiculous like three hundred yards rushing

312
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:52.400
or something like that, five touchdown, something that can go down in the

313
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.119
record books or something. But the
main thing is you want to really test

314
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:02.119
your timing with your offensive line when
you're playing against somebody that they don't know.

315
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:07.400
All right, all right, So
we talked to Jed today and again,

316
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.440
I don't you know, I can't
go. I remember a lot about

317
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:12.000
the seasons that when you were here. I just remember a lot about who

318
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.200
you guys played. But you know, we asked Jed today about, you

319
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:21.039
know, the difference between you know, basically a let's say a standard PAC

320
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:25.880
twelve, you know, front lines, offensive defense versus the SEC. And

321
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:27.200
he said, yeah, he said, those guys are bigger, they're generally

322
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:30.440
faster than generally you know better.
But you know, we're getting there.

323
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:33.519
What do you see? What do
you look at it? As a former

324
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.400
running back who this was obviously very
important to you, when you see the

325
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.880
lines and how they compare in the
PAC twelve versus uh, the SEC.

326
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:51.279
Well, basically that's the difference between
all the conferences, and the levels is

327
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:56.240
the offensive and deeper divine. Everybody
got fast receivers, everybody got fast running

328
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:02.240
back, everybody got pretty good decent
quarterback. But it's the upfront where the

329
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:07.640
difference is from. You know the
sec that the back twelve, the big

330
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.079
sky. That's where the difference has
come in is when it is offensive a

331
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:19.279
deepensive line. So it's a it's
a tremendous difference when you're playing at that

332
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:23.359
level because you know, your skill
positions always balanced out pretty much. So

333
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:27.480
tell me it's been a one else
since you've played. Talk about the game

334
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:33.799
today compared to how it was played
back in the day. Well, there's

335
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.920
just a hell of a lot more
passing. It's just ridiculous how much they

336
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.240
throw the ball and how little they
run the ball. Back when I was

337
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.079
playing, I mean, if you
run in sixty plays, you know forty

338
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:49.000
of them were run plays and then
twenty were past plays unless you had a

339
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:55.519
specific offense that was passed oriented.
But just the fact that a good game

340
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:57.920
for a running back maybe twelve perrys, and back when I played, it

341
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.000
was not usual to get get thirty
carries. Yeah, well you you w

342
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.119
Larry Smith. You guys ran what
we would call now you know, a

343
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.160
pro set offense, two guys in
the backfield, you know, a tight

344
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:12.799
end, the whole deal. Now
you got so much of this, you

345
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:18.000
know, run pass option. How
do you think you would have done and

346
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.640
the way offenses are run today,
maybe not get the ball as much,

347
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.359
but maybe more opportunities to you know, find some opening stuff like that.

348
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.799
I mean, old David Adams been
like in these offenses. I think I

349
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.680
think I would have done very well
because it's a lot of matchups and my

350
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:40.880
skills were very difficult to match up
with for linebackers and things like that.

351
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.599
So I think I would have done
well. I may not have touched the

352
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:48.000
ball as much as far as carries, but I would have I would have

353
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:52.359
gotten it. Would even not with
the monor touches, because I would have

354
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:56.799
got you know, maybe fifteen carries
and ten passes. So there's twenty five

355
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.599
right there, just twenty five the
thirty carries. Do you remember what was

356
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.160
the most carries you ever had in
the game? And who was that against?

357
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:10.960
Thirty six? Let me guess thirty
six one thirty one against Washington State?

358
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.200
Was that the game the snow game
up in Washington State. Well it

359
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:22.000
snowed, but they they they yeah, and we were ever to play,

360
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:23.599
but it was called as hell.
Yeah I remember, okay, I remember

361
00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:26.680
a quote from me. It must
have been from the Larry Smith Shore or

362
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.799
something like that, that they actually
had you on camera. You said you

363
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.000
absolutely hated that because the ground was
hard, it was freezing, called all

364
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:40.519
that stuff. Well, here's the
thing, man, when you when you're

365
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:44.599
a kid, playing in the snow
looked like fawn. Playing in the rain

366
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:49.680
looks like fawn. But it's not
for a kid who grew up and do

367
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:56.640
something. Yeah, I mean,
just just the you know, the footing

368
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:02.839
is bad, the you know,
the everybody that touches you, it hurts.

369
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:06.480
So I mean, it looks cool
to slide forever in the water,

370
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.720
but getting wet like that is not
trying what it really happens. And you

371
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:15.640
got hit thirty one times apparently,
no, no, no, because I

372
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:19.799
had a couple of touchdowns. So
okay, all right, so you had

373
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:23.720
a lot of yards. Like I
remember you talking to somebody maybe David Kelly,

374
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:29.480
two weeks ago about that game.
You had a great game. Yeah,

375
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.559
yeah, you know, and the
thing about it was this the engine

376
00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:37.319
thing is because after the game,
I was talking to myself saying, I

377
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:41.160
want to have come out and get
the ball that much today I didn't understand

378
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.720
it. And then when I got
the stat sheet it said thirty one carries,

379
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.960
I said, well, maybe I
didn't get it. Yeah, tell

380
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:55.319
me tell me Dave back in the
back in your time and the nil today,

381
00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:57.519
how would it have been last back
in the day for you guys?

382
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:04.599
And maybe you know, I think
because I was from Tucson, it would

383
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:11.880
have really benefited me a great deal. But I'm all for it. I

384
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:18.359
think it's a great, great situation
for players to to read the benefits of

385
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.519
what they're doing. But I think
it would have worked out well for I

386
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:26.640
mean, just because I was from
Tucson and so everybody would hopefully would have

387
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.599
donated to the kiddie. Got it? Got it? So think to think

388
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.599
back to that time too. What
was the best part about, you know,

389
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.559
playing here in Arizona for you?
I know you're a local kid and

390
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.839
all that stuff, but you know, within that, I mean, what

391
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:45.079
what what made it great for you? You know I can't tell you that,

392
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:53.680
man, Sure you could, come
on, don't I guess next time,

393
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:57.559
Next time, next time you see
me, ask me, well,

394
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.960
there was a lot of benefit.
There was a lot of benefits and scoring

395
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:07.200
touchdowns. That's what they don't know
who we're going all right commercials? Yeah,

396
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.759
gets the quarterback gets all the girls. So the running backs apparently what

397
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:17.519
what do you know? The thing
about this just the person that gets the

398
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:22.680
ball gets the credits for everything.
So you know, nobody watches the offensive

399
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:26.400
and defensive linement, So they watched
the people with the ball, and so

400
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:32.720
the people with the ball reap the
benefits of of of that situation. You

401
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:34.359
know. In fact, we've asked
a few of our guests here in the

402
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:40.640
last couple of weeks, So how
do you watch the game? Oh man?

403
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:42.640
First thing I do is I read. I read the defense and see

404
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:45.599
what kind of defense are in.
The second thing I do, I watched

405
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:48.960
the backs to see, you know, did they make the right read,

406
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:53.720
did they pick up the blibs,
did they catch the ball when they're on

407
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:57.319
the flask that they rung the right
route? So that's what I do.

408
00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:02.400
I watched, I watched the position
I play from any of the guys,

409
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:06.960
and really the four that that are
seeing the ball right, you got widely.

410
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:14.480
You got, you got Williams,
you got uh Speedy Luke, and

411
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:18.039
you got Jonah Coleman. Any of
those guys remind you of you or anybody

412
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.599
you played with, you know,
when you're at Arizona or even in the

413
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:26.039
NFL, Who who do some of
these guys remind you a four different guys?

414
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:33.519
Well really? But I just think
that the differences now is almost every

415
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.920
team at every level. I was
running back by committee. Back when I

416
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:44.319
played. You had one guy that
was the man separated himself from the backup

417
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.559
guys, and you know, the
majority of the carries went to that person

418
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:52.599
this this day, and aging guy, Well, this guy runs this play

419
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.599
better, so let's put him in
there. And this guy catches better than

420
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:59.119
this back, let's put him in
there. Well, this guy blocks better

421
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.839
than this guy. Actually for him
in there. You have to be pretty

422
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.720
good at every every job of a
running back back when I played, and

423
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:12.720
now that it's just so specialized that
to me, I don't like it as

424
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:18.119
far as being a running back to
play running back by committee, But you

425
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:21.039
know, you have to adapt because
that's the way it's done now this you

426
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.200
know, I'm looking at your stats. These are regular season stats from your

427
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:29.240
senior year in nineteen eighty six,
you had two hundred and thirty eight carries.

428
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.880
The next guy our Great House had
eleven. I mean not eleven eighty

429
00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:40.279
seven. That's a that's a that
goes to what you were just saying that

430
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:45.480
that's because you make sure that there's
a big enough gap between the man and

431
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.240
the crew. Yeah. You see
if you look at if you look at

432
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:55.880
Walter Page stats. Uh, Emmitt
Smith stats, it was the same back

433
00:30:55.880 --> 00:31:00.960
in those days. Yeah, you
know you didn't just those are wasted carries

434
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.480
if you gave it to somebody.
So let me ask you, did you

435
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:10.720
did you ever get hurt at all? Or no? What did you ever

436
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:15.680
gets have a bad connection? Okay, like like like hurt to miss some

437
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:19.319
games and stuff like that. Yeah, oh man, we must have it

438
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:26.039
back in there. I started.
I started three years. Uh. I

439
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.440
missed one game because of they didn't
put me in. I was dressed and

440
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.440
I could have played, but they
just were trying to save me for some

441
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.279
odd reason. And we lost that
game because they didn't play me too.

442
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.119
Uh No, I once once,
I became a starter at any level.

443
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:47.440
I've never missed games. So I
was born our high school once I was

444
00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:48.920
a start, I I didn't miss
games. See, there wasn't a bad

445
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.480
connection that we had. One one
of those. So let me ask you,

446
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.359
because well, you know, us
us normal people. And I'm not

447
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.559
saying you're a normal person, but
you you're you're a heck of an athlete

448
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:01.160
on the smaller side. I don't
want to offend you, but like JJ

449
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:07.079
Taylor, Speedy Luke those dudes,
is the size thing overstated because you guys

450
00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:13.240
have been this all your life and
are just good at it. No.

451
00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:19.599
The thing about it it is is
that football, and especially football, it's

452
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.960
so mental. That's what it comes
down to. If you buy into well,

453
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.880
i'm so little, I can't block, I'm so little, I can't

454
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:30.160
run between the tackles. If you
buy into all that, that's exactly the

455
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:35.480
way you're gonna play. If you
have the right mentality, everything is fine.

456
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:39.160
It's it's it's it's a man against
another man. It just so happens

457
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:44.680
that you may be six three and
I'm not, But all the other skills

458
00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:47.920
that are needed to play ball I
happen to possess. I'm just not tall.

459
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:52.759
Okay, well let's go do this. Yeah, yeah, that comes

460
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:55.920
down to you know, well man
versus man at all. And I've known

461
00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:00.960
you for a while now, you've
never lacked for confidence. That helps too,

462
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:04.519
No, and seeing that, I'm
telling you that's the key. Yeah

463
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:07.519
yeah, I mean the minute I, the minute I, the minute I

464
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:10.240
stepped on campus, I told them
backs that they weren't gonna play anymore?

465
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:20.079
How did they? It wasn't.
And the history thing was my class,

466
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:24.079
the eighty two class. We all
got red shirted our first year, and

467
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:32.079
then I had a knee injury in
the off season my second year and just

468
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:36.559
they just didn't play me at all. When I became a starter, the

469
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:42.799
same back were there, but for
some reason I didn't play for two years.

470
00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:45.279
Was that hard? You know,
to be out there and you know

471
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:47.720
you gotta go to practice, you
gotta do this, you gotta do left,

472
00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:51.640
you gotta do all that stuff.
How hard is that for somebody when

473
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:54.519
you know you've got it right,
so you know you you're you can play,

474
00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:58.200
but you don't. How hard is
it to sit through a couple of

475
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:04.160
years like that? It's so difficult, especially if you know in your heart

476
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:07.160
and then your soul that you're better
than the people in front of you.

477
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:13.199
Yea, and going against the first
defense every day because you're own scout team,

478
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:15.360
you know that every yard you gain
is a real yard because you're going

479
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:19.760
against the first defense. When you
become on the first office, you go

480
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.599
against the scout team d and you
don't know if that's a legitimate yard or

481
00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:28.480
not, because you know you're going
to get the sea. But I knew,

482
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:32.800
I knew I could play because I
was gaining yard against our defense and

483
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:37.119
we had like the number one defense
in the back back keen at that time.

484
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:39.159
For damn every year I was there. Yeah, real quick, we

485
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:42.880
just gotta go out to thirty seconds. What do you think is gonna happen

486
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:47.760
this weekend in Mississippi? Well,
at least at least the competition will be

487
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:52.920
up. And I think if they
come to play, if you know,

488
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:57.000
they come to play and that's what
they're supposed to do, they could come

489
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:00.280
out of there with a victory.
But if they have so somebody slipped up

490
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:05.239
with turnovers and things like that,
it's gonna be And then and not covering

491
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:07.639
people on deepen, it's gonna be
a long day. Yeah, okay,

492
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:15.800
okay, thanks David showing up.
Thank you for being with us. Okay,

493
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.199
I always like David. He's he's
funny, he's funny but serious.

494
00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:22.639
He was so good. I mean, especially that senior year. He had

495
00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:24.360
a hell of a senior year,
eleven hundred yards rushing. You know,

496
00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:29.079
he had a big game against as
U in that in that in that game

497
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:32.039
and he almost not didn't show up
here because somebody else lost a skularship for

498
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:36.840
something happened. Right, well,
he he he was a sunny side with

499
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:38.599
a guy named Fred Sims, right, and Fred sims Is being recruited by

500
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:43.440
everybody, ended up going to Oklahoma, and you know, Larry Smith spotted

501
00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:45.880
him sort of as I don't want
I hate to use the word after thought,

502
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:47.400
but he went over there to see
Fred Simms. Then he saw David

503
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:52.760
Adams and John Horton and those two
guys ended up at Arizona and and that

504
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:55.320
was it. That was it.
And he used them. I get it.

505
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:58.119
He you know, set up a
couple of years. But once David

506
00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:00.480
Adams started playing, he used him
for you know, kick returns, and

507
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:04.719
he was like, you know,
he was again. He was the guy

508
00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:07.000
in that on that eighty six team
that was very very good. All right,

509
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:12.079
let's take our last break when come
back fat By Friday picks on Thursday.

take a look back at the Ludolson era

513
00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:22.960
in my new book, Lessons from
Lute. It was a labor of love

514
00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:27.480
through the eyes of twenty five former
players, coaches, and friends to give

515
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:30.800
insight to the coach and the man
who led them, competed against them,

516
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:35.000
and inspired them. Twenty five chapters
for his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved

517
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:38.000
coach. Lessons from Lute is an
insight to how he built the program into

we bid farewell the Goldie the goldfish as

537
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:12.519
she journeys to that big pond in
the scholar Amen be still. Goldie's still

538
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:15.079
there. She didn't flush because Dad
didn't use picture rocks cooling, heating and

539
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:17.880
plumbing. This little pet funeral was
going to take a long time, all

578
00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:01.320
that's that's good for you. I'm
not sure that's good or bad from me?

579
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:06.199
All right, remember to college or
three years two PROA and then your

580
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:08.840
fifth pick and be college or bro
the special. This week, the game

581
00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:14.960
that we both have to pick is
Dolphins at Chargers, with the Chargers giving

582
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:16.400
That was a tough kid for me, and I'll wait for that to be

583
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:20.920
the last. Okay, and I
don't have the I don't have the I

584
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:27.719
should go get my my my which
you call it my my numbers. Okay,

585
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:29.920
okay, okay, I got it. Okay, So my first pick,

586
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:31.840
that's you probably won't won't take anyway, because I don't want to.

587
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:36.880
I'll duplicate with you. I'm taking
Ucla. I think they play San Diego

588
00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:38.800
State, right, I think they
do. Okay, let me let me

589
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:42.599
find out. Yeah, UCLA is
at San Diego State. Yeah four.

590
00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:47.880
What's the spread? It is Ucla
minus fourteen and a half. Yeah.

591
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:51.360
See. I don't know if you've
paid attention to my stuff, but I

592
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:55.000
don't pay attention to numbers. I
just pay attention to to match two meetings,

593
00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:59.079
two meetings. So if it's thirty
and I like it, I'm gonna

594
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:01.239
get it. So feen to me
in this game is not that bad.

595
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:05.559
You see. They barely beat Coastal
Carolina. I don't I don't worry about

596
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:09.880
that either. I don't know what
happened yesterday. It doesn't mean today exactly.

597
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:14.239
So that's just how I look at
this. All right, Okay,

598
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:19.440
you sell like San Diego State the
interesting game, all right, I'm going

599
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:22.039
my first college pick is gonna be
I'm gonna take Oklahoma. They're taking on

600
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:28.599
SMU. That's good pick. It's
it's at Oklahoma, I believe. And

601
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:31.760
Oklahoma's only giving up sixteen. They
put a seventy three up last week,

602
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:36.880
and I like that. You know
they're gonna score some points. You know,

603
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:38.760
SMU is all full of it stuff
because they're they're going to the ACC.

604
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:43.360
But uh yeah, that game is
at Oklahoma. But I think the

605
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:47.360
sixteen points is not quite enough for
us. You on any normal year,

606
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:50.920
and we don't know, We don't
know right right now, it's totally but

607
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:54.119
any normal your SMU against Oklahoma,
that's a blowout, right, But that's

608
00:42:54.480 --> 00:42:58.639
but we don't know. It's our
mentality, right we think Oklahoma is always

609
00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:01.719
going to be good and SMU not
so good. But I like that there's

610
00:43:01.760 --> 00:43:06.639
there's a history by us there.
I've got I've got Oklahoma minus the sixth

611
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:10.920
game. Okay, I'm gonna stay. I'm gonna stay in the state and

612
00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:16.679
go with Oklahoma state over the issue. I like the number three, which

613
00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:21.880
it really doesn't matter, but but
I Everyzona state. I think it's gonna

614
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:24.760
take some time to get harafway decent. Yeah, and and here again,

615
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:29.679
I don't know about Oklahoma State.
I just know the situation. I like

616
00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:34.519
that game. I didn't take it
because I hate betting ASU games because if

617
00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:37.679
I lose, you you'll be double
double upset and double pissed off at that.

618
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:40.840
I like Oklahoma State a lot in
that game, you see, but

619
00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:45.079
you don't know anything about them,
do you. I know that that Southern

620
00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:47.840
you're talk gonna beat him last week
the go that could be the sho.

621
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:51.840
But Oklahoma, I know, you
know, I don't know much about Oklahoma

622
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:53.960
State. What I know. What
I know about that game is what's whatever's

623
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.599
on the state didn't right, and
that's the number is three. And not

624
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.559
that I pay attention to numbers,
But you think that you think that it

625
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:04.440
would be bigger. I would think
it would be. I know, it's

626
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:07.199
on the road. People they well, it's gonna be hot. It's pretty

627
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:08.840
hot in Oklahoma too. Yeah,
so no, you know, so don't

628
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:12.320
give me the oh, it's gonna
be really hot. You know, I

629
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:15.519
think that's overstated. It's overstated.
These guys play well again, and you

630
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:19.880
know, and as Monday, as
Monday press conference, a jet fish with

631
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.880
us that he said, look,
we're practicing hundred five. It's pretty hot

632
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:27.159
here, you know. Okay,
so it's eighty five and humid there.

633
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:30.599
We're it's pretty close. We're pretty
we're pretty damn hoigh. It's different,

634
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:32.679
but we're damn hot here. So
shut up. You want to slaughter,

635
00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:38.920
you just want to exactly all right. Uh, I'm taking this game because

636
00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:42.639
it's it's one of the it's one
of the good games of the weekend.

637
00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:49.119
You know, Look, Texas lost
Bejean Robinson, he's gone, and all

638
00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:52.119
of a sudden, they think that
they're gonna hang with with with Alabama.

639
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:57.239
No, I got Alabama Mine seven
and a half at Alabama, So no,

640
00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:59.599
I like that. Yeah, I
like that. You but remember that

641
00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:05.199
in your in your history, Texas
played them pretty well last last year.

642
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:08.960
But I you know, I like
that. Pick I think Alabama at home.

643
00:45:09.679 --> 00:45:13.920
Uh. Look, they're not gonna
take any chances either. You know,

644
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:16.039
they know they you know, they're
not people don't think well of you

645
00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:21.360
people there. They're not being picked
universally to be in the playoff and stuff.

646
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:24.559
So sure they're gonna put it this
way. I think Alabama's playing within

647
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:28.719
us against the world mentality. Yeah, which is, which is good for

648
00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:32.280
them when you're really good already and
now you roll that thing out. So

649
00:45:32.440 --> 00:45:36.880
I like Saban is one of the
masters at that. Really no one believes

650
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.079
in us blah blah blah. You
know it's from that a flat commercial with

651
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:44.519
him and d That's what it's come
to exact. So, okay, Alabama

652
00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:46.360
minus seven and I like that pick, but I don't because all these games

653
00:45:46.360 --> 00:45:51.920
that I saw are kind of full
games. They're kind of full games because

654
00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:54.159
do you look at them, that's
obvious, that's an easy that's obvious,

655
00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:58.679
but then it tends not to be
not obvious, like the like the game.

656
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:00.280
Have you done too? I've done
two college. I won't say to

657
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:04.480
something I'm going to college. Okay, so me too, you are,

658
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:07.519
I'm going to the college. Okay, I'm staying because I didn't pay attention

659
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:12.320
to the NFL that that much.
This week, I'm going with Colorado.

660
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:15.559
I liked it yesterday. I want
to stick with it, and Colorado over

661
00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:22.280
Nebraska at home. Will they be
fooling themselves? Probably, of course,

662
00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:24.760
But three points or whatever, it's
gonna be three that is, I think

663
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:29.199
that's a given. That's a game. That's yeah, that you know again,

664
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:35.000
that's that, that's the direct But
look when that when when when Vegas,

665
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:38.000
that's a line they're they're sending it
with some knowledge. They know way

666
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:40.480
more than you are. I know. Sure, there's a reason it's my

667
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:45.360
three right, there's a reason Colorado's
only a three point favorite. They see

668
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:50.760
something match up, or it's too
early still whatever, right, you know,

669
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:53.719
and they still really don't know.
You know, if if they said

670
00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:59.199
it to if they said it to
ten, the people are all over Nebraska.

671
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:01.400
This is if they said it to
seven, I think I'd still be

672
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:06.039
okay, yeah, yeah, you
know, I think I'm getting four points

673
00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:07.840
that I don't need. Well,
I'm not touching. Good okay. Good

674
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:13.800
thing away from that we got We've
got three different college that's good. All

675
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:15.199
right, I'm going I'm next one. I'm taking a team that I thought

676
00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:20.360
was very impressive, taking on the
team that was just absolutely sucked. Lastly,

677
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:24.719
taking Utah giving only seven and a
half to Baylor. They're at Baylor.

678
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:30.599
Baylor lost to Texas State. Yeah, all right, Utah beat the

679
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:36.159
hell out of Florida, I mean
just lit them up, and uh and

680
00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:39.159
and and the thing about Utah is
their game travels right physical, they play

681
00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:43.639
defense. They just got to kick
your ass and you can be yelling in

682
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:46.159
the rear the entire game and they
can be and they can see really good.

683
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:50.079
I thought you might go with the
Oregon Texas Tech game because those are

684
00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:52.880
the same thing, right, the
same things, the same thing, right,

685
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:54.880
the same thing. We should go
with two team parlays. I liked

686
00:47:54.920 --> 00:48:00.599
that. I felt more confident with
with the Utah with the Utah game against

687
00:48:00.599 --> 00:48:04.400
Baylor, right, just you again, they their their game travels better,

688
00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:07.519
I think so. I like Utah
on the road against Baylor giving the seven

689
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:10.199
and a half. Yeah, I
did, Like I looked hard at that.

690
00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:15.039
Or it's the same. You can
just the same premise on both teams

691
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:19.639
on the road, both of them. Okay, so okay, now we

692
00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:22.960
got two pro games and we both
have to take charges Dolphins. So which

693
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:25.360
one you're taken? Wait? Wait? Wait? Wait? Uh did I

694
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:29.679
say my best bet now yet?
Oh? I didn't lock, but either

695
00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:32.960
I'm gonna take Colorado. That's gonna
pay me. But I'm gonna take Colorado.

696
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.719
I'm gonna lock. Well, you
don't have to. You can double

697
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:39.960
luck. You can double luck.
No, I'm gonta no, but I'm

698
00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:45.519
not gonna lock either my NFL games. I am going to lock. I'm

699
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:51.280
gonna lock Alabama. Okay, I
got Colorado. Okay, Colorado. I

700
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.920
we talked about this over under thing
with with Colorado. I liked them over

701
00:48:53.960 --> 00:48:58.559
three and a half. I'm gonna
stick with them, so we talked about

702
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:01.480
it. Yeah, right, Okay, what's your next what's your next game?

703
00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:05.280
Okay, I'm gonna go for an
obscure team that I mentioned. I

704
00:49:05.320 --> 00:49:08.360
think I start of the day before
Baltimore Ravens, and I think they're getting

705
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:14.679
out ten uh ten to Texans,
to the Texans only because the Texans are

706
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:19.559
the Texans. Yeah, and it's
at home. I like Baltimore. Maybe

707
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:22.559
i'd be a sleeper team this year. Uh you know, I've bet them

708
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:24.079
to win it a while back,
and I think that maybe they'll have a

709
00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:30.559
chance. I hate eight double digit
point spreads in the NFL. I made

710
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:32.039
them, do you know. I
don't worry about numbers. But but but

711
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:35.960
that could that could be a push. That could be a push. I

712
00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:38.960
just I just hate them. I
can't stand them. And there's a there's

713
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:43.920
a number like that. There's a
stat about double digit numbers yeah, I

714
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:46.840
think. I think I've gone and
dug up that number somewhere before, but

715
00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:50.400
I really really don't like it.
All right, So, okay, you

716
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:52.880
got the raven Did you love me
picking Ravens minus ten over the Texans?

717
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:57.000
Okay, yeah, I'm happy you
took that. All right. I'm taking

718
00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:00.840
to night's game. I'm taking the
chief whoa, I'm taking. I'm gonna

719
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.840
watch the game, one little juice
on it. I'm not gonna go to

720
00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:07.760
Draft Kings and do anything with it. All. The Draft Kings has a

721
00:50:07.800 --> 00:50:10.400
really cool bet. You bet the
money line and if your team leads by

722
00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:14.800
seven. I've done that before.
I've done that before. I get one

723
00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:16.159
of those. Yeah, I think. I think, No, that's a

724
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:19.920
good bet. The line dropped to
four and a half. Now it's four.

725
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:22.440
But for us when we put when
we get these lines this morning,

726
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.880
it's four and a half. I
know Kelsey is out. I don't think

727
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:30.760
it matters. The Chiefs are at
home, They're still the Chiefs. The

728
00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:35.599
lines may be good, but I
think the Chiefs by a touchdown at least

729
00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:37.760
in this game. That's so I'm
taking the Chiefs. Yeah, I think

730
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:43.119
the smart money or the big money
would be not big money or smart money.

731
00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:46.199
It's just the favorites, you know
what you know about Kansas City would

732
00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:50.000
go that way. That's what I'm
that's that's that's what I'm doing. Kansas

733
00:50:50.039 --> 00:50:52.239
City is Kansas City. Right.
It's the first game of the year.

734
00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:57.440
You know, they're defending champs again. They're coming out and they're going to

735
00:50:57.519 --> 00:50:59.480
try to take care of business and
try and do it. Okay, so

736
00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:02.079
another game that we both have to
take. I didn't know which way to

737
00:51:02.119 --> 00:51:05.119
go, to tell you the truth, I really didn't. I wanted to

738
00:51:05.159 --> 00:51:09.239
do pick Miami. I wanted to
pick Miami, so I didn't. I

739
00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:13.880
went with Chargers at home. Three. It's not a big number. I

740
00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:15.480
hate the point spread. Yeah,
it's gonna be a push, you know

741
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:21.000
it's gonna be. So I'm gonna
go with Chargers. They'll pretty kicker field

742
00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:23.400
goal and we'll both be screwed,
but everybody will be screwed. So I'll

743
00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:27.679
take the Chargers minus the three.
I'm taking the Charges as well. I'll

744
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:31.320
tell you several years ago in this
in this pool for the entire year,

745
00:51:32.400 --> 00:51:37.599
I just I got the point spreads
and I eliminated any game, any game

746
00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:44.360
where the line was three, seven, ten or fourteen. It was a

747
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:46.719
bad spread. Yeah, I didn't
do love that year because what it did

748
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:50.760
is eliminated a lot of games that
maybe, Yeah, it was a good

749
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:52.880
you know, it was an easy
point spread when I would just look at

750
00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:55.559
the lines and I would cross off
any game there was three, seven,

751
00:51:55.719 --> 00:52:00.920
ten or fourteen automatically. And it
didn't leave me enough games. But I

752
00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:02.639
stuck with it for one year to
see how work, and Larry call it

753
00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:06.920
didn't work very well. Oh all
right, so here we go. H

754
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:10.719
Steve's picks. Steve has UCLA minus
fourteen and a half, Oklahoma State minus

755
00:52:10.760 --> 00:52:15.639
three at ASU, he's taking He's
taking Colorado and Dion Sanders giving three to

756
00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:20.760
Nebraska in Colorado. He's got the
Ravens minus ten over the Texans that's in

757
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:23.719
Baltimore, right, yeah, okay, and then we both got the Chargers

758
00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:29.840

761
00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:40.559
minus four and a half against the
Lions. Solid picks if I like yours

762
00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:43.519
too, you know, yeah,
I hope you lose them all, but

763
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:46.079
I like them. Well it's gonna
be except for the charge. I don't

764
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:49.719
hope you lose. I don't want
to push there either, because well,

765
00:52:49.719 --> 00:52:52.280
if it's a push, that's everybody, everybody. I kind of do two.

766
00:52:52.519 --> 00:52:55.760
It's just a straight you know when
you first start. Yeah, I

767
00:52:55.760 --> 00:53:00.599
felt good about my picks last week. You killed, well you killed in

768
00:53:00.639 --> 00:53:05.119
a bad way or they close.
No, no, but no, I

769
00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:10.360
had Nevada. They got blasted.
I had I had uh Ohio State giving

770
00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:15.079
like thirty six. They didn't even
get to thirty six, or maybe with

771
00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:19.039
thirty three or something like that.
And then I had what else did I

772
00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:22.280
have? They were terrible. I
thought you had more than one. I

773
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:24.280
not only got one. I think
I got the Washington game, yeah,

774
00:53:24.360 --> 00:53:29.719
Washington. Oh, I had LSU
all right, I got blasted. Yeah

775
00:53:29.840 --> 00:53:31.719
I had that one. And I
can't remember my fourth game, but it

776
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:39.320
was a it was a loser too, oh yea and they lost. So

777
00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:43.960
you're you're the nonbeliever. Yeah I
am. I mean I continue to be.

778
00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:45.519
I don't want to touch that Colorado. But you weren't you weren't,

779
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:49.199
