WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:06.879 Steve Bravera and Jacob Salz. They have their eye on the ball on Tucson 2 00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:12.679 Sports Stage shaft, Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Heay, welcome back to the 3 00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:15.560 bout here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, You're Jay. You 4 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:26.800 got Kevin with breaking news? Oh, Fox Sports fourteen fifty. All right, 5 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:31.239 so I'm getting down eventually, I'm gonn nail it. Yeah, Tuesday, 6 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:37.560 that breaking news is gonna be crazy. Arizona forward Kishaw Johnson was named 7 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:43.439 to the preseason Carl Malone List. Caleb Glove was also named to the Jerry 8 00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.640 West Award list. Oh okay, cool, I hadn't seen that. And 9 00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:51.880 it looks like the only Pac twelve competition for Johnson is going to be UCLA's 10 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:54.920 dam Bona. Okay, yeah, which is good. He's good. I 11 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.840 remember he when he got hurt in the in the packed off tournament was a 12 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.040 big deal. So right directly, TV is also now sponsoring the Holiday Bowl, 13 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.439 but just for this year, Oh just for this year, for this 14 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.599 year. They want to focus on just this year because the negotiations. Oh 15 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.920 well then everything changes, right, I Like, I don't know if you 16 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.319 say I went through something out on Twitter, how the PAC twelve cannot get 17 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:21.879 Direct TV to take the network, all right, and then DirecTV comes around 18 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.879 and sponsors a PAC twelve game. Crazy feel like they're not entertaining to watch. 19 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.040 We have some of the best teams and best I know, I know, 20 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:33.400 I know, and you know, again there's based on what happened there 21 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.439 at the end with with ESPN and stuff like that, you're you wonder who's 22 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.319 you know, who's more at fault at what happened with But direct TV is 23 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:48.959 really the thing that really made the PAC twelve look bad and really hurt them 24 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.159 economically, you know, with the whole TV deal stuff. Right, by 25 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.959 never getting PAC twelve network on direct TV, it really made PAC twelve network 26 00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.760 look bad the whole time it existed. All right, And the jury is 27 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:06.400 back. The verdict is Lincoln Riley is not looking for employment. He actually 28 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.400 had pneumonia and that's why he missed two days of practice. He's back yesterday. 29 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.759 Yeah, he's back in practice. But they say he says he still 30 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.479 doesn't feel good. Still good ones because his team makes him look feel bad. 31 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.960 And the quarterback. You have the information on the quarterback as well. 32 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.759 He said he's not he's not going He's not gonna leave. He's gonna play. 33 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.400 It's gonna play. But speaking of that, did you see I saw 34 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:35.719 uh, I think I saw yesterday there's a high school like a like a 35 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:40.199 force, like a four, four or five star high school football player, 36 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:45.719 and I think it's from southern California and halfway. So his season is not 37 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.759 over and he's quit the team, asked when we heard this. He's quit 38 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:54.319 the team so he can finish, so he can quote unquote focus on school 39 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:59.639 so he can graduate at mid year to get to a school. But he's 40 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.919 quit the team right in the middle of the season. So basically, the 41 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:06.280 best player on the team just quit because he wants he does you know, 42 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:07.719 he wants to get ready to get to get ready to go to college. 43 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.039 Which is the conversation we were having about. Sure, there was a rumor 44 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.159 about Caleb Love, you know, not that he was going to do that. 45 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.479 People were saying there were athletes, there were other athletes who are saying 46 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.800 he should do that. I'm like, okay, so there's the there the 47 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.479 ice has been broken on that this player. There was a picture the guy, 48 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.400 he's like a physical specimen, best player on your team, says, 49 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.520 guys, I'm done with you, guys, I'm moving on right in the 50 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.439 middle of the year. No, just just saying he has no more friends. 51 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.759 Would you want that on your team? No, of course not. 52 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.960 Of course not. I don't care how good you are, get the hell 53 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.319 out of here. I'd be pissed. I think I think some players are 54 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.800 moving more towards that. I don't know if I would necessarily want them on 55 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.120 my team. I know that's not really good answer, but I know there 56 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.560 was a corner at U n C a couple of years ago the purposefully graduated 57 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.879 early because he saw like more playing time and more. That's fine, but 58 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.919 finish the season. That's a great point. That's probably the crust. You 59 00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.080 started the season, finished the season, you know. I mean, I 60 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:01.319 know, Steve, if you did that, did that with your kids, 61 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.319 But I don't if you're gonna if you're gonna start a season, you're gonna 62 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:09.599 finish the season. None of them were ever ever thought about quitting or anything 63 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.639 like that. But you know, I had that conversation with other with other 64 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.479 players on the teams that coaches said, Okay, you're here, I expect 65 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.000 you to be here. The last game of the year. Sure gonna be 66 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.160 you know, healthy and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, you're right. 67 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.439 And the last bit of breaking news for today is that the n C 68 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.519 double A enforcement staff is on Michigan campus and uh, I believe you guys 69 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.079 actually have more information on that as well. Yeah, that's not that's not 70 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.959 related to this. That's to the the the the coach the former. No, 71 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:40.040 no, they're both. They're two different things. The f b I, 72 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:46.079 the f c I s. The FBI is on campus investigating this one 73 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.079 coach on some sort of uh, computer crimes, which is not related at 74 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.800 all to the science ceiling thing. But n C double A staff has been 75 00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:00.279 has been on on campus at Michigan doing stuff. But interesting things just came 76 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.879 across from Ross Dellinger at Yahoo Sports. So Sonny Dykes, who you know, 77 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:11.480 head coach at TCU played Notre Dame and beat Notre Dame in a shocker 78 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:16.600 in the in the College of Football Playoffs semi final last year, said that 79 00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:23.399 they knew that Michigan had been stealing signs, so they devised a system where 80 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:27.759 they were still gonna flash the old signs, but they also had some new 81 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.720 signs, so and they were telling the players ignore the old sign The new 82 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:36.079 sign is the signals. So he said they he said they made This is 83 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:41.600 a paragraph from dellinger story. They mixed in new play call signals with old 84 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.480 ones, using what one TCU staff member described as quote unquote dummy signals in 85 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.839 an effort to trick the UM staff. The dummy signals were old play calls 86 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:55.160 that had since been changed. Players were told to ignore the dummy signals and 87 00:05:55.279 --> 00:06:00.120 run the original play as called with the new signals and then it quoted one 88 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.839 TCU coach, sometimes we froze the play before the snap, would call a 89 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:08.079 play and then would signal in another play with a NOL signal. But we 90 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:13.079 told players to run the original play and guess what. Beat the crap? 91 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.959 They beat Michigan. You know this is this is just getting so juicy. 92 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.040 Oh I'm sure that. Are you sure that Harbaugh was pissed only because he 93 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.199 says, what the hell? We have the secret code, we have the 94 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.720 cheak code. What are we doing? Yeah, we have fifty five thousand 95 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.519 on the revenue with this guy, we're getting beat. Well, what do 96 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:30.879 you call your che che codes? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, the video 97 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.639 games and we still can't win. Well, the cheek codes were not right. 98 00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.439 Fifty one to forty five. They put fifty one points up on them. 99 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.480 You know, it's just five. Yeah, well it was. I 100 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:44.639 was I had a backward CA TCU. They went and got its butt kicked 101 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.240 by the House State. I guess they didn't have their signals, or maybe 102 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.079 Ohio State had TCUs. I don't know, but again the point being, 103 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:54.639 one of the points being the TCU knew Michigan had been stealing signals and they 104 00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:01.360 did stuff to uh offset that. So this is pretty well known around college 105 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.000 football, that you know, and and as you've said in the many times, 106 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:11.759 they weren't the only one, probably not, you know, interesting interesting 107 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.360 stuff, all right, A couple other things. I think we did the 108 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.959 pneumonia thing. What else did we have? There's some stuff in the n 109 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:24.120 b A and and all that, But I guess so. But they're not 110 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:29.040 gonna have or Booker tonight, Bill or Booker. But it's Kad versus lebron 111 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:36.519 tonight. Okay, literally just about that, that's all that's left the street. 112 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.399 There's a couple of old guys. Kevin Rants thirty five. I couldn't 113 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:45.319 believe I saw that. I think he's gained a pound since he got I 114 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.279 think Wemby's actually already gained more weight than Did you see that picture that there 115 00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.879 was a few days ago, the picture that ran of him blocking somebody's three 116 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:57.639 point shot but the guy's taking the shot and the woman kim comes flying at 117 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.800 him and the guy his whole hand on not like a fingertip. I think 118 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.519 I saw. I think I heard some some number the other day about how 119 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.040 he was able to block a three point shot when the ball was going up 120 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:13.399 he was like nine feet away the one lunge and elite. Yeah, he's 121 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.240 already and he's already out there. Yeah, it's crazy on the other way 122 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.040 about to make a transition three. I just hope, I just hope with 123 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.519 that frame he can he can be you know not you know not be you 124 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.560 know be injury like that. What's the whole home? Chet Holmgren, Chet 125 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:33.600 Holmgren got injured. Like has incredible strength and conditioning and like biometric stuff he 126 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.759 does. I see videos of him like fully like half like flat Stanley, 127 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.919 like just doing weird stretches and like like just trying to stay as limber as 128 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.240 possible. I can't believe, you know, flat Stanley. Of course I 129 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.720 know flat I guess you know you've never done flat Stanley. Your kids are 130 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:52.960 probably too old. Flat tip last stay. I mean, I don't know 131 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.320 that. I don't remember the backstory. But he's just he's a kid that's 132 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:01.480 flat at paper. Well it's at our school. At our at in elementary 133 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.600 school, they would make a person you know, you know, yeah, 134 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:11.799 uh you know hardstock, Okay, that you know, Okay. So then 135 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:18.960 the kids we were told to to give it to somebody to take with them 136 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.799 for a day at work, and then that person was supposed to write on 137 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.919 it what what flat Stanley did that day? You remember doing this assignment now, 138 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.519 right? And so then so, like I remember, one of our 139 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.919 kids gave it to John Wilner and and so he and then so John Wilner 140 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.759 wrote down everything that flat So John spent the day with this flat Stanley with 141 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.840 him over and he had to write down everything that flat Stanley did. Bored 142 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.879 I think I think John was in l A at the time. So we 143 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.600 mailed it to him and he sent it back and then you know, but 144 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.039 yeah, that's what flat stand. All three of our kids did that. 145 00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.919 I don't remember who else they gave it to But that's am. I right, 146 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:01.600 that's flat Stanley. That fast Stanley. The memory serves yours. You 147 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.840 know, I'm gonna put that on our on our podcast saying, okay, 148 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.039 who is flat Stanley? You didn't have to do flat standing. You can't 149 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.000 start that much older than my twenty eight and twenty five, Adam, So 150 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.440 you must not have gone to a good school. Who you your kids? 151 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:24.360 Foothills, Foothills and Cdeo. There were athletes, man, that explained, 152 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.919 he said, the element where then Foothills in elementary school? No, there're 153 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.639 Cudio, Cdeo, Studio Star up on the northwest side. Okay, public? 154 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:35.919 Hey, no, yeah, hey, I went to a Catholic school. 155 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.919 Look what it did to be I know, not a damn thing I 156 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:41.679 know, and I went to public school. What he did to me? 157 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.279 My dad is up and Heaven said like you should there you and your sister. 158 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.600 That's too funny. All right, all right, eight, there's a 159 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.879 Are you doing anything on the on the Thursday night game tonight? No? 160 00:10:56.200 --> 00:11:00.240 I liked Mission Michigan. I like the Buffalo, but really they're not They're 161 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.159 not not touching man. I think I think i'd be taking Tampa Bay to 162 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.679 I No, Buffalo is just too scary. In fact, this is one 163 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:09.639 of the first years I haven't met him to win at all. I just 164 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:11.919 don't feel I don't trust him anymore. Yeah, well I heard I heard 165 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.159 a funny theory on that. I think. I think it was what's his 166 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:22.320 name? Chris Simms was saying that that the issue with with UH, with 167 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:28.600 Josh Allen, seems to be that if he's not on the team, is 168 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.360 not on, that he's got to be on all the time. That he 169 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.000 can't have that because there's some teams that your quarterback can have a bad day 170 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.559 or not a great day and you can still you know, win, but 171 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:46.600 that it's there's too much on him to produce for them to win. Against's 172 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.559 been like that for the last three four years. I mean, come on, 173 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.559 that great game with Kansas City, what two three years ago? Whatever 174 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.200 was Now that was a long time ago. Now, yeah, this didn't 175 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.480 He doesn't have any weapons to throw to him. He just doesn't. So 176 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.120 I'm trying to look at you see what what their what their records? The 177 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.360 boxer the box are three and three. There must be about to say the 178 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.120 bills. The bills are three and four. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't 179 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.200 trust it. I wouldn't trust it. Yeah, sefan Digs probably have a 180 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.440 big night though. No, he's the only guyin Kid's Out. He's the 181 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.759 only guys my boy.

I was actually at the age of forty something that I okay, 192 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.480 let me put the I'm gonna say in the well into the two thoughts. 193 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.519 I was still stealing bases steven City League Baseball.

We moved the bases closer 196 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:35.120 together, I could still go. That was a terrible, terrible head first 197 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.799 leg I would just bally fly. I was like a dart. Okay, 198 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.320 I'd hit the dirt and just stick. I tried not to try. Your 199 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.519 Mamma says, she loves you. I'm gonna check it out. I used 200 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:48.159 to check it out. My kids will attest to the fact that I used 201 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.440 to be pretty fast because I was. I was. I played, I 202 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.919 played, you know, we played. Remember we playing that one softball game. 203 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.039 I remember seeing you and you were pretty fast. Was like being in 204 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.039 the Miami Dolphins, the pastest in the room. This is our bundie territory. 205 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.600 Yeah, no, we got this was nineteen eighty three, eighty two. 206 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.320 We played on that.

I'm Steve Rivera, He's jagins Aus and the NFL 306 00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.839 we have less securit of the Corvellis to Zett times. How are you doing 307 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:45.440 in Corvellis Less? Very well? Thanks for having me great. We appreciate 308 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:47.920 you join us. We just want to talking a little bit about the beaves 309 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:52.079 and what we can expect to see coming up. You know, I asked 310 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:57.039 Jet Fish how dj U a Galile compares to the three quarterbacks at Arizona's face 311 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:02.440 in its last three games. They've seen Panics. They've seen Caleb Williams and 312 00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:06.759 then Cam Ward, What are your thoughts on where he kind of fits in 313 00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:11.480 that group of guys. It really is a murderer's row of quarterbacks in the 314 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:18.559 Pac twelve. And I really do think that DJ, especially with his play 315 00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:22.680 over the last few weeks, deserves to be mentioned with those other guys. 316 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.920 He's playing at that sort of level. Oregon State's not necessarily asking him to 317 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:30.880 do everything that Washington is asking, you know, it's guy to do, 318 00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:36.960 but he's what they are asking him to do. He's been very good at 319 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:40.720 it. So was that just a hiccup against Washington State a few weeks ago? 320 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:48.599 That was primarily a defensive issue. They came out and let Washington's a 321 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.200 State throw a bomb over the top on the second play of the game and 322 00:22:53.160 --> 00:23:00.960 never defensively, you know, gave up thirty eight points. The offense didn't 323 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:04.799 play badly in that game, but just the defense didn't get any stocks. 324 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.319 Yeah, and that was the problem. So DJ wasn't bad in that game. 325 00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:12.640 It wasn't great, but if the team got unbalanced a little bit in 326 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.519 that game as well. He threw the ball season high thirty four times in 327 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:21.039 that game. That's not really the way that Jonathan Smith wants to do things, 328 00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.599 but you know, the score and game situation required it. When you 329 00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.559 think about him, you know when when like it was such a big deal 330 00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:32.240 when he's when he decided to go to Oregon State from Clemson. You know, 331 00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:34.720 he obviously was coming in with a lot of you know, high regard, 332 00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:37.160 you know a lot of people that is a really good deal, really 333 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:42.079 good quarterback. Has he been Has he met or exceeded expectations? Do you 334 00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:45.839 think from what people thought he was going to be when he came in. 335 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:52.240 I think earlier in the year you might have gotten a range of responses to 336 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:57.359 that question. But and not that he was playing poorly, just maybe a 337 00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:03.720 little bit inconsistently. Percent completion percentage was maybe lower than people were looking for. 338 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.839 But his play over these last three weeks has been really solid. You 339 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:12.920 know, they've rebounded from that Washington State loss with wins over Utah Cal and 340 00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:21.480 UCLA, and DJ has been very solid in those games. What he what 341 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:26.200 he brings is a year ago, Oregon State just turned the ball over entirely 342 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.079 too much. The team had a very good defense, they had a very 343 00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:36.160 good running game, and turnovers were just very costly. And what DJ has 344 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:41.279 done. Is he's just basically eliminated that he's got four picks on the year 345 00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:45.559 in you know, one hundred and seventy six attempts perfectly reasonable, and he's 346 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:51.200 just he makes good decisions with the ball. He's very calm in the pocket. 347 00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:55.319 He's a big guy. He's not afraid to get yet. And he's 348 00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.839 also he's not at all afraid to throw the ball away. He's perfectly willing 349 00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:03.480 to throw the ball away and come back and do it again. And just 350 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.359 being careful with the ball is what Johnson is looking for. You can talk 351 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.880 about the running game too. The team has a pretty good running game with 352 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.640 this running back, so he has some compliments. The quarterback does, oh 353 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:19.240 absolutely. I mean a year ago, this was a team that counted on 354 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:23.559 its running game to do almost everything. This year, they're a lot more 355 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:27.960 balanced, but they do have a one to two punch with Damian Martinez and 356 00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:33.119 Deshaun Fenwicks. But really, you know, they're running behind a veteran offensive 357 00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:40.920 line. Both of their tackles, Tolly Fuaga and Joshua Gray regarded as very 358 00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:45.200 solid NFL prospects, and their experienced across the middle of the line, the 359 00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:49.680 center and the two guard spots. It's a very good line. And then 360 00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:55.000 I know Martinez is quick, he's powerful, he's a good back for hitting 361 00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.079 the hole, and Fenwick's having a good senior season as the number two guys. 362 00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.400 You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna kind of throw a previous guests under 363 00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:03.119 the bus a little bit on this, and I want to do that to 364 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.400 you, I promise. But the I can't remember his name, the writer 365 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.559 from Washington State when we talked to When we talked to him, you know 366 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.720 as the kid from from the Spokesman Review. We talked to him, he 367 00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:18.480 kind of like poopooed Arizona's defense, like, you know, they're gonna be 368 00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:21.319 able to move the ball, and obviously they didn't. Right AZONEA bet him 369 00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:26.000 forty four to six. Yeah. Jed Fish today called this game coming up 370 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.200 a heavyweight fight, which you're saying, okay, who's the heavyweights Arizona's nobody's 371 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.680 ever used the word heavyweight when it comes to them, you know, either 372 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.720 on the offense or defensive line. He said, it's gonna be a brawl 373 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.240 on the line. Is there a recognition of that up there? Well, 374 00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:47.599 if Arizona was wanting to fly under the radar. Going into Pullman and winning 375 00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:51.599 forty four to six pretty well wrecked that plan. Yeah, they are gonna 376 00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:57.599 They've got everybody's attention now nobody. If anybody was thinking they were going to 377 00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:02.240 look past an Arizona game, that's not happening now. Uh, these guys 378 00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:07.319 are well aware of how well that defense is playing. DJ had very complimentary 379 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.559 things to say about the Arizona defense during his press availability earlier this week. 380 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.000 He especially likes, uh, your your two linebackers, uh, and what 381 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:19.279 he saw out of them. So, no, the Arizona defense has has 382 00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:25.599 got Oregon States full attention. And and what are their impressions about Arizona's offense 383 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.400 given, Uh, we don't even know who's gonna start at quarterback? Yeah, 384 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:36.839 yeah we We asked Jonathan about that. He sees he thought there was 385 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:42.079 some sim similarities between the two colors. I don't know myself if if that's 386 00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:48.039 necessarily the case, but Noah, if Noah has to step up and be 387 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:52.599 the guy, he certainly has demonstrated that he's he's capable, especially recently, 388 00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.160 he seems to be getting really comfortable in that spot. If if that's who 389 00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:00.440 you guys are rolling with. Yeah, so you probably get as this every 390 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.000 time you talk to somebody who you've never talked to before, which means us, 391 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.359 what's been the best thing about what Jonathan Smith is doing over there? 392 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:11.759 Because you know, Jed had a lot of high praise for him. You 393 00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:14.200 know, even on Monday he said that, you know, they would love 394 00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:17.160 him, they would love it if they could be in a couple of years. 395 00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:19.880 You know, five years out what Oregon State has been five years out 396 00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:23.880 since John Jonathan Smith got there. What's been the best thing about him? 397 00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:30.079 Jonathan is a very even keelled guy, and I think some people might sometimes 398 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:36.519 wish he or maybe a little more fiery. But I think if a coach 399 00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:40.599 can only be themselves, and I think when they're authentic with them with their 400 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:45.359 players, I think players understand that. I think Jonathan's a plenty competitive guy, 401 00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.799 but he's just he's very even keeled, and he just keeps the team 402 00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:56.039 very processed focused. Sometimes that means their interviews or a little bit mechanical, 403 00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.759 as a little maybe Belichickian as they you know, move on to the next 404 00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:06.880 opponents. But the high the upside of that is that there's a sense of 405 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:10.960 stability and there's the sense that this is the program that knows who it is 406 00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.039 and and knows the direction it's going, and and you know when from from 407 00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:19.720 where this program was when Jonathan took over, and now it's just a remarkable 408 00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:25.640 change. It really it's hard to imagine how it could have been worse when 409 00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:30.759 Jonathan took over, and he's just really changed everything. Now. It seems 410 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:34.640 like Jed there is doing a very similar thing, and he's even on a 411 00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:41.400 faster timeline than than Jonathan was here in year three, looking to really have 412 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:44.799 things turned around down there. So it looks to me that he has no 413 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:49.079 concerns about being the little brother to Oregon or in the shadows out because uh, 414 00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:53.960 even though you know corballisis where it's at and and under the under the 415 00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:57.599 not umbrella, but you know, you know, second, second fiddle, 416 00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:02.880 he's done a great job. Yeah, well, I think this is a 417 00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:07.480 situation where you know, you bring the quarterback, you bring the hero quarterback 418 00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:12.880 back to campus as the coach. Sometimes it works, and you know, 419 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:17.359 sometimes like with Scott Frost Nebraska, it looks like it should work, but 420 00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:22.160 it doesn't work well. With Jonathan Smith, it has worked. Jonathan knows 421 00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.960 what Oregon State is. He knows what an Oregon State football is about, 422 00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:32.119 and he's just the perfect guy to take over this program at this point in 423 00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.720 time and to get it headed back in the right direction. Also, another 424 00:30:34.759 --> 00:30:42.039 thing that they've got is they've had a lot of stability amongst their key assistance. 425 00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:47.519 There's a lot of continuity on that staff, and I think that's really 426 00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:51.960 helped, you know, offensive coordinator Brian Lindren, defensive coordinator Trent Bray, 427 00:30:52.519 --> 00:31:00.319 where the secondary coach Blue Adams. There's just a lot of continuity and the 428 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:06.400 players, I think they appreciate that. So I'll bring this up because you 429 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:10.119 know you're in the not you Oregon States in this position, as you know, 430 00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:11.920 with the two one of the two teams left. Has that stuff been 431 00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.480 able to just kind of stay on the side for the team and for the 432 00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:21.240 football season? Is it a distraction at all? Uh? You know, 433 00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:25.200 what's what's that been like to not only for you, but you know for 434 00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:30.720 the team to be dealing with this year Behind closed doors, I don't know 435 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:34.359 what they're saying, and I don't know if they're using it as fuel. 436 00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:41.559 I wonder sometimes if maybe they are in public, their their statements have been 437 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.319 very bland. The statements are just focusing on you know, it's about this 438 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.720 year. It's about trying to make it to that Pac twelve championship game and 439 00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:56.119 win a PAC twelve title. They stay very focused outside the room if they're 440 00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:01.400 and the way they've done that is remarkable because Beaver Nation obviously it's hard to 441 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:07.359 talk or to talk about anything else, how quick talk about anything else. 442 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:14.720 Beaver Nation is consumed by this, and rightfully so, there's complete uncertainty as 443 00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:19.559 to the future direction of the program. It looks the way the wind is 444 00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:24.000 blowing right now that Oregon State and Washington State are maybe going to try a 445 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:29.079 pack two thing for the next two years, maybe in an effort to buy 446 00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:36.640 time and put together the most suitable opportunity Beyond that, I think right now 447 00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.680 a pack two is the most likely outcome in the near term. But man, 448 00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:45.559 even that that that gets really complicated, and not just for football, 449 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:50.599 but for there's so many other sports and athletes on campus. So yeah, 450 00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:54.880 it's a huge topic of conversation and obviously a great deal of frustration that this 451 00:32:55.000 --> 00:33:00.799 is happening at a time when they've got one of the best football all teams 452 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:02.640 that they've had in the history of the program. So we got about a 453 00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.480 minute and a half here. Well, what any predictions for Saturday? Are 454 00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:09.960 you coming down? I am not coming down. We really only travel within 455 00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:16.599 the Pacific Northwest until we get to the post season for you know, basic 456 00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:24.920 office budget. Yeah, but the game itself, I expect a competitive game. 457 00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:32.359 I expect a very competitive game, you know, in a defensive score, 458 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:38.640 a special team score, turnovers, those sorts of things. He should 459 00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:43.839 be a very interesting game. It will be interesting to see Oregon States run 460 00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:47.279 defense. The last couple of weeks has maybe been a little softer than they 461 00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:51.960 would like. It will be interesting to see if Oregon State can tighten that 462 00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.799 up. But you know, with a way Noah's playing, if they put 463 00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:00.960 the ball in his hands and make him throw it, he's seems capable of 464 00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:04.039 doing that. So it should be a very very interesting game. Yeah, 465 00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.680 that's what we're thinking. That's what we're thinking over here. So hey, 466 00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.760 less, we appreciate the time today. If you get down here at some 467 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:14.320 point, well I don't know. We're headed to the Big twelve, so 468 00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:20.639 we may never see you guys again. Yeah, can congratulations to you if 469 00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:24.280 you were hoping for a score prediction from me. I think something in the 470 00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:30.199 twenty seven to twenty range, maybe OSU Okay, but and then you know, 471 00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:31.920 I say that, and it might turn into a shootout and the last 472 00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:37.079 team with the ball wins. But I don't think so, but we'll see. 473 00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:40.159 Well again, the Washington State kid had it, like did he say 474 00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:44.039 like forty five, forty one or something like that, and he got he 475 00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.119 was close on the forty one for Arizona, but he was a little off 476 00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:49.719 on the you know, the forty five for Washington State. So there you 477 00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:55.199 go. I'm gonna need I'm gonna need to calloo. Would like to play 478 00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:59.280 a little bit of a different game than that. Yeah, they don't really 479 00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:00.800 want to. I don't think they want to play a shootout like that. 480 00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:05.320 Yeah, okay, least thanks again, have a great weekend. You are 481 00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.480 very welcome. Thank you. Good stuff. Yep. Let's Garret from the 482 00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:13.760 Corvallis Becauzette Times. That would great to have him and for the first time 483 00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:15.000 we got to talk to him, probably the last time unless we get him 484 00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:19.920 during basketball or something. Anyways, all right, I don't know any beat 485 00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:22.719 writers that would not pick the team to cover exactly exactly. Well, I 486 00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:28.480 don't know. I mean, I mean I thought, I mean I thought 487 00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:30.519 Arizona would play USC tough. But I thought we both said that the Arizona 488 00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:34.719 is going to lose that game, right, But this is this is a 489 00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.199 tighter game. This is one where like we're no longer beat writers guys, 490 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:42.440 I know, but we're still the guys who essentially cover Arizona. All right, 491 00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:44.360 let's take our last break. We're going to come back. We'll take 492 00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:46.159 your calls five to two zero, four one, six, seventy four forty 493 00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:49.920 would love to hear from you, especially if you know who Flat Stanley. 494 00:35:50.079 --> 00:36:00.400 Is this a moment, hands up that matters ten thirty organs and I'm that 495 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:02.760 need your support now.

He's been better, 623 00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:06.599 but he didn't get off to a good start this season. I thought he 624 00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:12.320 had been completely overrated. Uh you know, well there that maybe he had 625 00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:14.679 just had to get used to. They're in your life, they're in your 626 00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:17.719 observations.

Well, you saw him for a moment in time. 630 00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:31.039 There's more moments in times. You know how many bad days that we had 631 00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:37.079 if we if people listen to say, these guys saw as they catch us 632 00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:38.559 on a good day, you know what I'm saying. So you caught him 633 00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:42.079 on a bat. I remember you saying I just didn't don't like the way 634 00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:45.159 they play. Yeah, but I watched him. I did see him, 635 00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:46.840 you know, like two or three times, and none of those times did 636 00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:50.639 they look good to me? And they won at least two of those, 637 00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:53.119 Yeah exactly, but they they looked good to me recently. But when you 638 00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:57.559 look good, when you look okay and you're still winning, that kind of 639 00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:00.880 shit. Yeah, there's something there said something Look at every they looked fairly, 640 00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.880 well, fairly, halfway, decent or good, whatever word you want 641 00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:07.440 to use. And they've lost. So that kind of gives you hope too. 642 00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:09.960 Yeah. Yeah, I've got a new strategy. I'm not gonna tell 643 00:46:10.039 --> 00:46:14.440 to tell you until tomorrow. I afraid we still know we're gonna go. 644 00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:21.920 We're Stiday. I don't worry about it.

It's very simple. And it hit me last 659 00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:23.880 week when there was a game that I thought, why didn't I pick that. 660 00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:29.719 I kind of get my sights pretty early in the week, usually set 661 00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:35.000 on three or four games, all right, so I don't look at all 662 00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:37.800 the games. You know, I should have looked. If i'd have gone 663 00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:42.039 through the games, I'd have looked at LSU minus thirty one against Army, 664 00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:45.679 and I would have said, I got to have that, because but that's 665 00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:49.320 You're good after the fact, I mean, no, no, but no, 666 00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:52.960 But you know I saw I said, wait a minute, LSU's gonna 667 00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:55.599 score a thousand points and Army is not gonna score I should have seen that. 668 00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:59.559 But you use the same philosophies in the terms of U C. L 669 00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:01.280 A against Stanford. I know you don't. I get it. I get 670 00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:07.679 it. But that one was so obvious, you know, even even before 671 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:08.599 the fact. You know, I'm looking at the I'm looking at the point 672 00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:13.079 spreads on Saturday morning just to see, you know, what games are coming 673 00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:15.599 on? Right, I'm like, how did I not see L s U 674 00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:19.159 an Army? What the hell is Army doing playing l s U? And 675 00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:22.239 that's gonna be really bad? And then it was so, I mean I 676 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:25.880 recognized that before the game got played. So I've decided I'm gonna look at 677 00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:30.800 all the games I've that's that's what you think is gonna solve the issue. 678 00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:35.000 Well yet, because too often I zero in on a game and it turns 679 00:48:35.039 --> 00:48:37.960 out to be a hard game. Now you can't pick a card game it's 680 00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:46.840 supposed to because I mean, you know the or oh you're on the aaron 681 00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:51.199 I and the ball. Hey, Tommy, how you guys doing? What's 682 00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:54.760 up? Man? Hey? So I was sharing a little something with Steve 683 00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:59.639 at the end of last week. So every week I played the Chief and 684 00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:02.920 the thing go game parlay like cover the spread, mahomes yards completion, excuse 685 00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:07.400 me, attempts two touchdowns and Kelsey to score. And last year it hit 686 00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:12.280 like twelve times literally, So I had it this weekend. But when you 687 00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:17.039 guys did the show Friday, I pulled over and and you know, described 688 00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:22.559 all of your team's day, and I took the opposite and I was solid 689 00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:29.719 going into that Chief game. Bro Steve was laughing at it. Steve was 690 00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:31.840 laughing at it. Well, that's you know again, that that's you know, 691 00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:35.760 I hit it so that you know, blind squirrel dude got one. 692 00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:37.760 So you did, you didn't hit that right? You went? You went 693 00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:39.320 one? For four. It wasn't good. I mean, yeah for one. 694 00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:43.119 Yeah, no, did I had four? But I'll tell you what. 695 00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:46.599 I'll have the bed a MGM app open tomorrow afternoon. I'm ready. 696 00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:52.440 Thanks, Thanks, Tommy. I appreciate that, man, I appreciate the 697 00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:57.519 love. Hey, man, I got a caller. He's a caller, 698 00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:00.280 he's a listener. He's going with my picks. That's how i'd sell that. 699 00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:04.679 I'd sell that like crazy. But but you know again, and another 700 00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:07.880 stupid thing that I do, and it's probably a dumb thing. I always, 701 00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:13.119 always, always, always pick one of the games that starts at nine 702 00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:15.800 o'clock in the morning. So I find one of those games and I pick 703 00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:21.480 it. Why something, Yeah, because I'm always I'm always sitting around on 704 00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:22.920 Saturday morning, you know, looking for you know, while watching games. 705 00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.719 You know what I picked open. I guess what I'm telling you is, 706 00:50:25.719 --> 00:50:30.599 I'm opening my mind to all the games. So now you're in trouble. 707 00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:34.039 Okay, now you're forward to being in trouble. You know when I pick 708 00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:37.239 my games right before the show starts, Well, I do too, but 709 00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:39.880 well I shouldn't say that, because I mean I finalize them. But all 710 00:50:39.880 --> 00:50:44.039 week long, I you know this week I've got I've cleared my mind. 711 00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:46.639 I've cleared my mind on any game. Anyway. We got two minutes here, 712 00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:51.679 Kevin. There's a reason why he has grunk here. There's a reason 713 00:50:51.679 --> 00:50:53.840 why he has the skull here. Go ahead. And I haven't rubbed either 714 00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:58.480 one in all seasons. I joe there, my mode. These are my 715 00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:01.239 mojos. The dull a ko d skull right there, and then the Gronk 716 00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:04.639 bobble they give you, they give you the good energy. Yeah, and 717 00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:07.559 you know what, I well, I haven't. I haven't rubbed either one 718 00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:09.440 of them all year. So maybe I gotta do that. Maybe that's missing 719 00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:14.760 step. That could be it, that could be the whole thing that it 720 00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:16.679 could be just nothing but that. And Gronk's gonna be here this weekend, 721 00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:22.559 right next weekend. Next week he's coming for the homecoming, a big party 722 00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:24.920 Bronx and town for any party. Yeah, you're gonna be You're gonna see 723 00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:29.519 like smoke rising from wherever he's at. Yeah, smoking like smoking? Can 724 00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:34.360 you can you put fireworks and you know things like that, you know, 725 00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:38.159 people getting set on fire, loud electronic music. Yeah, so you kids, 726 00:51:38.199 --> 00:51:42.079 you kids kind of what do you guys do with Gronk because he's older, 727 00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:45.760 I ground here, you guys look up to him. What's what's the 728 00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:50.400 big deal with Gronk with you kids? Gronks cool? Gronks like your favorite 729 00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:54.920 uncle. Sure, sure, yeah, because you're twenty three, right you 730 00:51:55.079 --> 00:51:59.199 DU's because you about thirty something. Yeah, he's like, I think he's 731 00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:00.920 a popular part and then went to the school that if you're a sports fan, 732 00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:02.519 you're like, it's really cool that he went here, and he comes 733 00:52:02.519 --> 00:52:07.679 back every once in a while. Parties like he's something who's more I guess 734 00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:13.480 he's more popular than than than Bruskie. And yeah, see we kind of 735 00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:15.599 we kind of hang we hang our heads on Steve Kerr. Yeah, and 736 00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:21.239 that'll I think I think the informed know about, you know, obviously like 737 00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:24.639 Bruski and such like that. But I think that Gronka is totally outside. 738 00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:29.199 He's got to be commercial to commercial. If you see that, Eudald is 739 00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:31.760 going to be doing some TV work now, that's that's what He's not surprised 740 00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:35.079 there either.
