Steve, He's Jay. Now we
got our guys sid with breaking news.

5
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:24.839
This is I on the Ball,
breaking news on Fox Sports fourteen fifty.

6
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.879
All right, starting off the news
with some former Wildcat news here. Andre

7
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.560
Gadala announced his retirement from the NBA. Big news for him, obviously.

8
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:40.039
I think he's gonna end up going
the coaching route. Just seems like I

9
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.039
don't think so. No, No, he's too smart for that. He's

10
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.200
too smart for that. He maybe
maybe, but he's too smart for that.

11
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:49.719
He's uh. I could be wrong, but I think he's too smart

12
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:51.920
for that. He can he lets
you know he's too smart for that.

13
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.640
In fact, someone sent me a
note early this morning when they saw this,

14
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:58.600
and I'm thinking he's been retired for
two three years now, right,

15
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:00.039
he's been sitting on the bench making
a lot of money. He played eight

16
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.359
games last year, eight games last
year. You know, he says he's

17
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.200
gonna retire and then he comes back
and blah blah blah. I was not

18
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.799
sure. I thought he had already
retired actually, because he's been he hasn't

19
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.719
played much. Yeah. And then
I mean with the Warriors, he was

20
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.560
more of a bench coaches, right
right, right, Yeah, made a

21
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.159
twenty year career. Do I know. He's a he's got a lot of

22
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:23.920
got a lot of money. He's
a business dude. He it seems like

23
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.319
he could do a handful of Yeah. Right, He's kind of like remember

24
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.879
Tony Clark. He's really that smart
kind of he's a very smart dude.

25
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.680
And he makes he's like John Fiena
to me where he and he lets you

26
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.120
know that he's a smart dude.
Yeah, he was a one of the

27
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.719
guys sent me a note this morning
and he said he's one of my favorite

28
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:42.959
players. He was very difficult to
deal with here. Luke had a hard

29
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:49.040
time with him, and he he
he was famously noting himself for saying he

30
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.159
made Luke cuss. He was the
only guy to make Luke cuss. Wow,

31
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:53.640
And in the book, in the
book, one of the books,

32
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.840
he not that he did. But
Luke got so frustrated with him. He

33
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.519
said, bitch, bitch, bitch. All you do is bitch. That

34
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.400
was the year that they lost and
they and then he left. Well yeah

35
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.520
then and see it. Look he's
had a great career and Arizona claims him

36
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:14.319
as one of theirs. But I
was so mad at him, you know

37
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.319
in that Seaton Hall four right,
I was so mad at him because you

38
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.960
know he's sitting there they put the
camera before the game, he's on the

39
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:23.719
phone. No, no, that
was that was the Pac twelve tournament.

40
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.439
I'm very positive because a week later
that's when they lost a seat. Well

41
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.319
he's okay, but you know that
whole thing there, well there it was

42
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.960
during the postseason though. Just told
me you are correct. Just told me

43
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.719
he didn't give one crap about Arizona. He didn't give one crap about the

44
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:43.599
playoffs, and that just' that's been
my lasting impression of him. I've never

45
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:49.039
been a fan of his. You
but my uh, somebody get I think

46
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.159
it was my son gave me a
gift of his book signed by him.

47
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.560
I've got an autograft, I've got
a sign book of his and I've not

48
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:59.919
read it. But that's just always
been my impression of him, and I've

49
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.280
I've been pissed at him for that. Well here here it is nineteen two

50
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.479
thousand and four. They beat USC
and then they lose to Washington that game.

51
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.199
When he was found, it was
in the hallway, kind of inay.

52
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.960
He was on his phone as they
were coming out. A week later,

53
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:15.360
they lost the seat in the hall
after having that big lead. You

54
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.360
remember that was I remember I was. I was covering the team, and

55
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.120
a week or two later, this
is this is what I remember. I

56
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.120
remember so much with him covering because
it was difficult. They came back.

57
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.879
There was laying for the game a
week later, and he was there,

58
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.199
and I was chasing him down like
you chased down Michael Bates to see where

59
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.520
he's going, Uh, to see
if he was going to jump, because

60
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.039
we all knew he was going to
jump to the NBA. He just wasn't

61
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.439
ready to say so he knew I
was chasing him down. He ducked into

62
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.719
the women's locker room. He conducted
the room to avoid me. So a

63
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.560
couple of girls came out and says, did Audrey going there? No,

64
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.240
we didn't see him. I knew
he was in there, but you know

65
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.960
a few days later he announced he
was leading. Yeah, it's just I've

66
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.159
never been a big fan. But
with your recollection, maybe not the right

67
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.520
game. Yes, he had the
phone on the phone before a game.

68
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.520
Has ever gotten recomminded with Tonnel?
I thought it was. I thought it

69
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:14.919
was the NCAA tournament game. But
I believe you, all right, Yeah,

70
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.600
because there's certain things you remember because
I wrote about it. Yeah,

71
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.920
yeah, it was. It was
not believe speaking of guys that are tough

72
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:25.360
to deal with, James Harden.
He's not going to be playing in the

73
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:31.240
preseason finale, who knows. I
believe he has been out of practice as

74
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.680
well. Again, anybody who has
them on their team deserves what they get.

75
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.879
Bottom line, you said it a
few types. Bottom said it a

76
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.839
few types. If you've got him
and you're paying him, you deserve what

77
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:48.120
you got because you knew he's been
this guy from day one. You know.

78
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.160
It's like you know Antonio Brown and
and some of these other guys that

79
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.120
you know, you know, uh, Tarrell Owens, You're gonna get a

80
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.839
guy who's just gonna be a big
pain in the ass and they can't help

81
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.839
themselves and you know, good luck
and plus on top of everything else,

82
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:09.959
he's from me. It's you.
So I'm happy for whoever it hasn't because

83
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:15.120
you deserve it. Yeah, I
mean, seems like he has not played

84
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.279
a full season with the team,
and who knows how long since how many

85
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:23.959
championship how many championship teams has he
been on? Zero zero? That's all

86
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.360
you need to know about him.
That's all you need to know about him.

87
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.079
And it seems like everywhere he goes
leading up to that season, everyone

88
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.000
kind of talks it up and they
forget what he has done. Yeah,

89
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:39.759
well, you know, and okay, and I'm just kind of reaching on

90
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:44.879
this one. But like for people
who don't like kind of how loud and

91
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.639
Dion Sanders has always been, you
know, just sort of a look at

92
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:53.720
me kind of guy. But he
won championships. He did not wreck teams

93
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.079
right he went, he went,
he was on championship teams. He didn't

94
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.759
go out and wreck teams. James
Harden Tera lolans like that they wrecked teams.

95
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.600
You know, they're so bad that
they can screw up an entire locker

96
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.480
room and that's what they do.
And so again, Philadelphi seventy six ers,

97
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.399
good luck you got him. Figure
it out. At this point,

98
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.439
it's I'm just trying to figure out
who is gonna take him, who would

99
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.360
want to trade for? Yeah,
I'm not bringing that guy into my lock

100
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.240
No good player, but the good's
a good player. But yeah, is

101
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:26.720
it worth it? I would probably
not. I would never want to have

102
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.720
that guy in my locker. Yeah, all right. Moving into the NFL

103
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.600
injuries, looks like Justin Fields and
Jimmy Garoppolo are both going to be out

104
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.800
this weekend. So did you see
where the starting quarterbacks are gonna be for

105
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:44.759
that game? Brian Hoyer is won
who hasn't won a he hasn't won a

106
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.000
game as a quarterback in seven years, and then the other guy is somebody

107
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.879
who've never heard of. You know, I saw that. I saw the

108
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:56.759
thing that you know that the Bears
were gonna have, you know, a

109
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.360
new guy, and that God,
I'm gonna I'm gonna take the Raiders.

110
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.560
And then Brian Warier's gonna couldn't be
their starter. So I'm like, no,

111
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.480
I'm not taking that. I'm not
touching that. I'm not touching that

112
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:11.879
at all. Moving into the MLB
stuff, so it looks like the Diamondbacks

113
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.480
are gonna be going with the bullpen
game tonight. Oh really. Yeah,

114
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.040
they're gonna be starting one of their
relievers on Mantiply, the left hander.

115
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.439
Oh yeah, So we'll see how
it goes if they can, if they

116
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.519
can stay in it the first three
innings, it's huge. They have to

117
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.959
win tonight, man, they they
have to first. You can't go down

118
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.279
three one first first night game for
them hosting, uh this series. So

119
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.879
ye, I know yesterday it was
a day game. So tonight we'll see

120
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.800
the Friday night in Phoenix. We'll
see how how loud it gets over there.

121
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.120
But a lot of energy over there
if they can pull this out.

122
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:45.680
You know again, at that game
I went to, you know with the

123
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:47.800
Dodgers, it was loud. It
was loud there. The place was full,

124
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.879
it was loud. It was a
great environment. So if they if

125
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.000
they you know, recreate that,
you know, it can be hard.

126
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:59.120
But uh, damn, the Phillies
are good. That lineup. They just

127
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.759
it's seems like every night someone new
it's on them. They're just really damn

128
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.399
good. Yeah, you know Bryce
Harper. And when you got a guy

129
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.639
like Bryce Harper who goes out there
every day and does what he does,

130
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.759
then you know you have other guys
who just come and do stuff. It's

131
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:15.759
they're really good, so, you
know, be fun to watch. Yeah,

132
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.519
we'll see how it goes because we
know going back to Philly is not

133
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.240
going to be easy for the Events, right, especially if they're down three

134
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.360
to one, right they Yeah,
they've got to get they've got to get

135
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.079
this and try and go in there
and win a couple. And then the

136
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:33.759
Texas the same score. It's a
four to two. Uh dollar. Dolas

137
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:39.159
Garcia hit a three run homer Justin
Berlander in the bottom of the bottom of

138
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.399
the sixth. There's now four to
two Astros, I mean four two Rangers,

139
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.440
top of the seventh, nobody on, nobody out, so again that

140
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.159
day the Rangers need this one as
well. Oh yeah, this for them,

141
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.759
especially with when the Astros get hot, right, you guys, you

142
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:05.600
don't want to have to go sweep
at their place. We'll see how it

143
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.679
goes. But both starters are knocked
out of the game right as we speak.

144
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.000
Well, Verlinder finished the inning,
but I don't know if the if

145
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.360
he's coming back out for the next
The Rangers are batting right now. The

146
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.440
Rangers are batting now. Yeah,
we'll see how that those series go.

147
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.399
We haven't got a game seven or
or a winner take all game yet.

148
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.399
Yeah, we'll see. Maybe this
series is love those fun Yeah, so

149
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.279
we'll see how that goes. And
then moving into some other MLB news,

150
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:41.399
Gabe Kapler has interviewed for a front
office job with the Red Sox. Okay,

151
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.039
it looks like he's moving out of
the manager Yeah. Yeah, you

152
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.720
get into an office. You know, you don't have to put the uniform

153
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.679
on anymore. Hang out. I
don't know if there's more pressure or less

154
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.159
pressure as a probably the GM or
whatever, you're probably about the same.

155
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.039
If you're a GM, you know
you gotta get guys. So yeah,

156
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.679
all right, good for you.
Yeah that's all the news I got.

157
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.159
I don't know. I wanted to
bring something up because of the Michigan situation

158
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.960
with the spine on whatever they're doing, So they they suspended one of their

159
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.559
assistants. The guy who they're investigating
is one of the assistants, a lower

160
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.240
level assistant, so they suspended him
with pay. But but you see this,

161
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.120
it's been going on for a long
time, right, what do you

162
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:22.279
think? What do you think?
Do you say? Like, coach,

163
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.279
tell me real quick, Chip Kelly
does his little screen, I remember him

164
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.360
doing that and then doing and they
still do it. They still have the

165
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.480
screens. They brought him here to
Washington, Washington, and then all the

166
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.120
cards, you know, all the
cards, you know, you know,

167
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.279
Taylor Swift and all these girls and
the symbols and blah blah blah. So

168
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.000
they know what happens. They know
what happens. I don't know where I'm

169
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.440
going with this conversation, but it
happens. It's the signs. Deealing itself

170
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:52.120
is not the rule that's being broken. It's that they were sending somebody to

171
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:58.000
other teams games and and and recording
their signs so that they can figure them

172
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.000
out that you can't do. We've
talked about this before because I remember in

173
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.440
covering Stoops football he was here and
it was kind of something going on back

174
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.320
then with other teams and you know
the old practice field or the practice there

175
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.879
in the corner. He was afraid
of somebody on the crossaway where Chieva Hut

176
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.639
is now, I think, the
corner, that they'd be having people there

177
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.120
silly signs. And I said to
myself, really, so I went to

178
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.039
a press conference with him, I
says, is it as simple as that,

179
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:26.960
don't you went up to the days
of you versus me and let's go,

180
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.279
you know, let's play. And
he said, yeah, it used

181
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.000
to be like that, but it's
not anymore. It's not anymore, no,

182
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.120
I mean, I mean, remember, uh when whenever they practiced in

183
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.720
the in the stadium, Stoops used
to send somebody to make sure there's nobody

184
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.759
at the top on the roof of
the parking garage, to make sure that

185
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.519
there was nobody up there, you
know, looking into the stadium and stuff

186
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:54.000
like that. I'm not you know, but maybe I'm too simple and I

187
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.000
don't understand. But okay, here
we go. Jay's gonna run a sweep

188
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.759
writer or whatever they gotta do.
It's gonna be moment. Remember there was

189
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.799
a game. There was a game
when rich Rod suspected that their signs were

190
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.840
getting stolen and they huddled. They
huddled a bunch of the game, not

191
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.279
all of it, but a bunch
of it because he hated he said huddles.

192
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.759
There were waste of time. And
I don't remember that they huddled a

193
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.200
bunch because they were they thought that
their signs were getting stolen. I can't

194
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.000
remember who was against. I don't
remember that. Yeah, okay, it

195
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:31.279
was just like what time. If
you're good, come on, baby,

196
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.600
bringing on. If you're not good, will too bad, you know.

197
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.600
But but you know what, the
Astros proved that you steal signs, you

198
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.000
can win. It helps. Well, you know what pitch is coming,

199
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.559
so right, But that's what I'm
saying. If you know what pitch is

200
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.200
coming, what play is coming,
you know, whatever, you can do

201
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.720
what you're gonna do. And you
know what I mean. In the course

202
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.600
of a game. You know,
you may know, you may know the

203
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.039
play, but you can't get your
guys in there to be just But other

204
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.639
times you can, so you might
at a key point stop a play or

205
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.000
something like that. It gives you
some of them some advantage, but not,

206
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.799
you know, not on every single
play if you know they're signs.

207
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.639
But obviously it's a thing because they
made a rule that's saying you can't do

208
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.320
that right right, Well, it's
because you think just on top of your

209
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.080
head. It's a combetitive advantage,
yeah, or disadvantage. Yeah, all

210
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.600
right. One that came across a
little while ago. John Shire, the

211
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:28.360
head coach at Duke A Young Guy
uh signed A, has signed a six

212
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:35.159
year extension of his contract at Duke
there is a dollar amount because Duke is

213
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.559
a private school and they don't have
to give that out. Aaron Torres was

214
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:41.759
on the show a little bit ago
at an interesting comments and yeah, go

215
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.799
go lock these guys, these thirty
year old guys up, because you never

216
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:46.879
know when they're when they're gonna hit
the road. And he said, not

217
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:52.720
really, this is really stupid because
you're you're locking yourself into a contract with

218
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.639
a guy, and all you do
do is wind up in a bad position

219
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.879
if they screw it up down the
road, like you know malth Tucker did

220
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:03.679
it has done Michigan State. The
thing that they're dealing with with Jimbo Fisher

221
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.799
at Texas A and M. You
signed these massive, long term contracts and

222
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.039
then if it doesn't go well,
you're stuck with them. And so he

223
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.080
basically said they shouldn't be doing that. So the fans are probably Duke fans

224
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.440
right now on message Borders are probably
excited. But if there's an early exit,

225
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.279
they're so quick. He's just got
there, he's been there two years.

226
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.639
Why do you have to extend what
has he done? You know you're

227
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:33.440
extending his contract already, you know, I mean it seems it does seem

228
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:37.919
silly, but you know, I
don't know. They again, long term,

229
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.360
this is a topic for another whole
day. They got to figure this

230
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.399
out because this money is going to
run out, because they're gonna have other

231
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.399
places. They're gonna have to give
it to mainly players. So we'll see

232
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.240
what they do about that. All
right, let's sit the road. We're

233
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.320
gonna be back. Taron Cowatch I
guess that's you pronounce his name, a

234
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.679
writer for the Lewiston Tribune, will
come on and talk about Lewis's Lark State

235
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:05.000
coming. It's night. If they
say zone stick around. So we put

236
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:09.960
our hands like this. For more

great? Thank you for having me

327
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.680
on the show. Sure, sure, We're excited to season down here starts

328
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.640
it starts for you as well.
An exhibition game. What do you think

329
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.640
they're thinking as they come down to
play the UVA. Yeah. Well,

330
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:56.480
I think the first thing that O. J. Austin Johnson and the players

331
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.000
expressed was how great of an experience
this is to the team. Yeah,

332
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:04.559
you know, it's not often that
an NAI team gets to play a top

333
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:08.160
twenty five team, much less like
one of the pedigree of Arizona. So

334
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.599
I think they're looking at this as
a good experience. And you know,

335
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:18.319
the it is an exhibition for Lewis
Clark obviously as well, so good time

336
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.079
to get some minutes and look at
some players that they haven't had a chance

337
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.519
to so far. But yeah,
I think they're just approaching this as a

338
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.440
as a unique experience that not a
lot of teams and their classification get to

339
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:32.480
tell us a little bit about,
you know, about who they are,

340
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:34.920
what, you know, what their
program has been like? What? Yeah?

341
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.039
What? You know, what what
we can expect to see tonight?

342
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.400
You know from from these guys?
You know, what kind of a team

343
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:45.200
are they? Yeah? Well,
see, that's the the funny thing.

344
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.400
I don't think anyone really knows that
yet. You know, so many players

345
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:55.319
on the team are either brand new
to it or just uh, we're hurt.

346
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:57.000
The last season or two and didn't
get a lot of minutes. So

347
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:00.720
I think, you know, this
game is crewial, you know, not

348
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:06.480
obviously not for regular season standing,
but for just being what kind of players

349
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:11.640
they have and how they look in
at a competitive format. Austin Johnson,

350
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:18.599
the coach, and the preseason conference, he said that they're probably a few

351
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.240
days away from being ready to play
a full game in basketball, and I

352
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.000
think that's just because they still have
to figure out what team they have.

353
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.359
You know, they do have capability
offensively and defensively kind of all levels of

354
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.440
the court. They have the three
point shooting, they have the facilitating,

355
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.559
they have the interior post game,
so they have all of that, but

356
00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:42.559
it's just a matter of seeing how
that all goes together. Last year,

357
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:48.839
the team had its first losing season
under Johnson's tenure as coach, and the

358
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:56.359
first losing period first loving season period
since two thousand and nine, and a

359
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:59.640
lot of that was due to injury. So I think, you know,

360
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.559
this year they're looking at one,
you know, just trying to get a

361
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:06.640
healthy squad out there and playing for
the best their abilities, and two also

362
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:11.039
just you know, getting back to
kind of the level that they usually play

363
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.799
at you know, their three three
seasons away from the NAI National Championship game.

364
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:21.400
You know, they had three conference
titles in five years under Johnson as

365
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:26.680
coach. So I think this game
is really just kind of working out some

366
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:29.519
kings that they still think they probably
have their in practice. Well, so

367
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.920
just you know, trying to get
back to their you know, usual level

368
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.559
of LC men's basketball. Yeah,
and welcome, you played the number twelve

369
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.759
team in the country, right,
So yeah, no, and obviously every

370
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:45.240
both sides know where they stand.
Arizona will be without three guys, three

371
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.799
key guys, but still Arizona's gonna
be pretty loaded. Good good to have

372
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.079
them. And I didn't realize any
any I A And they were in the

373
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.559
national championship game just three years ago. So and it was under the same

374
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:59.920
coach. Yeah, it was under
the same coach. It was about twenty

375
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.640
twenty one title game, so two
years ago, rapidly, right, right,

376
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:06.279
So while he's got some chops coaching
chops. And I'm sure people up

377
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:10.559
up there followed this team pretty heavily. Oh yeah, no, absolutely.

378
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.880
I Mean, if you know about
LCSC sports at all, it's you know,

379
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.039
it's all the sports get a fair
amount of support. But you know,

380
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.319
baseball is keen, and you know, both the men's and the women's

381
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.599
team like really fall fall in the
same tier. Is that you know,

382
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:32.000
all three programs have had such a
sustained level of success and several like really

383
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:36.519
successful coaches coming from the Funk coming
from those programs, and you know,

384
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:41.000
uh, you know, for the
community getting behind men's basketball team and the

385
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:45.519
women's basketball team is you know,
something they do on a on a yearly

386
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.519
basis. So yeah, and you
talked about this a little bit, but

387
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:53.279
are there some has the coach expressed
some specific things that he wants to see,

388
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:57.400
you know, in this game or
is it just more of I just

389
00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:02.119
got to take a look because I
don't know what I've got. I think

390
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:04.319
it's definitely more of bladder, you
know. I think, you know,

391
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:08.160
they do have one more exhibition game
against gonzag and I think maybe that might

392
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:12.920
be the game where they really like
try and send out like a lineup they

393
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:15.599
think they might go with during the
regular season to see how that goes.

394
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:19.640
But yeah, this team is really
just trying to I think see who they

395
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:23.480
have in players. You know,
they have a few guys that they're really

396
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:29.200
excited about. You know, Grayson
Hunt is a guy who last year was

397
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:33.000
a freshman and lucked really significant minutes
due to the injuries, and you know,

398
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:36.480
he has another year on his belt
and he you know, I mentioned

399
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:40.400
the post game of Elsie, he's
kind of like the you know, that

400
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:45.240
engine down below the basket. And
then they they have a true freshman Mickay

401
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:48.440
Morris that they were really excited about
and really thinking can be a true for

402
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.839
general on the team, which is, you know, kind of an embarrassment

403
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:59.160
of riches for them because they already
have like two really good guards and Sam

404
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:06.240
Stockton and and uh uh John Lustig. So I think that, yeah,

405
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:08.480
this game is really going to be
about just trying to figure out who they

406
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:11.680
have and how it mentions that,
how it meshes together. So I think

407
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.720
you mentioned this at the beginning of
the hour beginning of the show, when

408
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.119
when you came on to say that
I'm sure that a lot of the kids,

409
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.319
a lot of the students welcome this
game because when do you have a

410
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.039
chance to face a team like Arizona
and then they're gonna go play Gonzaga.

411
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.839
So you know how many times does
that happen? Yeah, you know,

412
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.680
there's there's actually a bit of connection
between Elsie and Gonzaga. You know the

413
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.240
Sam stock And I mentioned him.
He's the youngest son of John talks in

414
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:47.200
Okay, So you know there's that
Gonzaga Stockton relationship with LC and uh you

415
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:49.960
know, I I do believe they've
played, you know, in exhibition games

416
00:27:51.000 --> 00:27:53.039
in the past. You know,
the school and Gonzaga have a pretty good

417
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:57.359
relationship. You know for several different
sports. Uh, you know, they

418
00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:02.599
compete against each other, either during
preseason for the team sports or like even

419
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.359
for something like cross country or track
and field. You know, those two

420
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:08.799
programs aren't you know, unfamiliar from
each other. So you know, that's

421
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:11.920
a that's a good relationship. You
know, Sam talked about a little bit

422
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:18.039
in the same preseason media conferences I
reference. You know, he's obviously excited

423
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.119
about it. And then again kind
of luck with Arizona just getting a chance

424
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:22.599
to play a top twenty five team, which is something that not a loav

425
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:29.160
n Ai teams get a chance to
get. You mentioned the thing that always

426
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:33.359
gets me about games like this that
when Arizona faces they inevitably face a three

427
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.240
point shooter that you wish they had. Does Lewis and Clark have that three

428
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:40.880
point shooter that we're gonna go,
what the hell is he doing playing at

429
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:45.440
Lewis and Clark. Oh yeah,
I mentioned John Lustig. You know,

430
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.359
he's a local kid. He's from
Culpax, which is about a half hour

431
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.319
away from from Lewiston or forty five
minutes. You know, he he is

432
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.680
more than capable of, you know, really having a good showing from beyond

433
00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:59.559
the art. You know, I
don't have the exact stats in front of

434
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:03.119
me, by we had several games
last year where he uh, you know,

435
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.680
had was really efficient. I'm looking
at one game last year where he

436
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.559
was he was it looks like three
for five or four for six. So

437
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:17.240
there's that. You know. Daveian
Brown is another kid who really really can

438
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:21.000
be a threat from the perimeter and
you know the on the defensive side too.

439
00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:23.359
You know, that's something that he's
gotten commend commended by the coaches for

440
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:26.559
it, is taking that improvement.
But yeah, no, they have several

441
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.279
guys that are really capable of shooting
it from beyond the ark. And you

442
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.200
know they you mentioned in the new
players. You know, we still have

443
00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.599
to see how they how they do
you know, they might even have more

444
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.640
than just those couples. So uh, yeah, it's going to be a

445
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:42.400
really exciting game just to see like
kind of what players emerge and kind of

446
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:48.119
what becomes available for Elsie that you
know, maybe they we didn't know they

447
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.480
had before. Yeah, so you
must be a school that's not too far

448
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:56.440
from Pullman from Washington State, and
and Gonzi against Spokane. Yeah, yeah,

449
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.440
Elsie is uh, it's about so
it's kind of like a big cluster

450
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.839
of just university. So there's the
University of Idaho, which is in Moscow,

451
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.920
Idaho, which is eight minutes away
from Washington State in Pullman, and

452
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:12.759
both of those are a half hour
away from Elsie and Lewiston. And then

453
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:18.720
Gonzaga is about a two hour drive
north from uh from Washington State. So

454
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.920
it's just kind of like one big
cluster. Yeah, Okay, makes sense,

455
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.119
makes sense. Okay, I'm sure
you're disappointed that you weren't able to

456
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.039
come down here. What's what's the
temperature right now up there? Oh gosh,

457
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:37.200
I even't even check today. Seventy
one degree what degrees? That's winter

458
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.599
for us? It's one hundred today. But you know, we won't talk

459
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.079
about that so too bad. You
would have got a ten today. Well,

Yeah know again. I mean,

465
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.640
and I didn't I hope he didn't
take it as that. I was like

466
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:06.640
MACKI, Lewis and Clark. But
so many of these teams that come in

467
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:10.799
here and you go, why doesn't
Arizona have a three point shooter like that?

468
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.079
No, you many times seen that
a lot. I remember kids from

469
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.640
Colorado who just dominated the game.
You're thinking, what's he doing there?

470
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.160
Yeah, you know, and you
go, why is he not? Is

471
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:25.359
it because he can't play defense or
something? But you see these shooters and

472
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:27.480
you know they know they There have
been a few of those guys who made

473
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:30.599
Arizona fans nervous and these exit Oh
yeah with all questions. Yeah, I'm

474
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.960
not too sure now, but it
seems like it would be an easy find,

475
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.119
right, But it's not. It's
not. And they haven't had a

476
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:41.319
good one since Salem yeah. Yeah, I mean a guy that you said,

477
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:42.839
a pure shooter, that you give
him the ball and he's going to

478
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.440
make a three. Yeah, and
gave you was supposed to be the guy.

479
00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:51.279
He wasn't. He wasn't for one
game, Senior Glass game. I

480
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:53.039
was just gonna say that, Yeah, he did it for one game.

481
00:31:53.319 --> 00:31:57.200
Yeah, you're right. Since then
they haven't, right, And that sort

482
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:01.480
of was to me, that sort
of was the thing that kept Sean Miller

483
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:06.759
from from having a team, an
elite team, even in the even in

484
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:08.920
the great teams of his twenty fifteen, sixteen, whatever it was, he

485
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:12.960
didn't have that guy. All the
elite eight eight teams that yet, yeah,

486
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:15.960
he never he still didn't have the
guy. Sure. You know,

487
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:19.200
you end up with Jamel Horn trying
to trying to hit it three for you

488
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:22.880
to win the game, to send
you the Final four. Yeah, exactly.

489
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:25.000
And he wasn't even his kid.
It was it was loots guy.

490
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:29.759
Yeah, Jamil Horn. Yeah,
he was like all the final four teams

491
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:32.400
usually have one they have that always
can make it three. You got it

492
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:36.880
now, and under the game's situation, that would spread the court. Uh,

493
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:38.960
maybe not even one if you had
two. Holy moly, yeah,

494
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:43.240
I like that kid on on Yukon
last year. I mean they just give

495
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.839
him the ball from three and he
was automatical late and yeah he got hot

496
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:52.079
and it's a deadly It said that
three pointer is a deadly thing these days,

497
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.240
it can be and you gotta have

back at the Ludelsen era in my new

00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:47.279

was a labor of love through the eyes

511
00:33:47.319 --> 00:33:52.240
of twenty five former players, coaches
and friends to give insight to the coach

512
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.400
and the man who led them,
competed against them, and inspired them.

rag you. I don't want to
hear from anybody. Yeah, by my

pick. A couple of people ask
me a few things. What did they

571
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:16.039
say? I have to see if
someone said, because you let us know

00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:40.880
Because I'm already giving myself a zero
for this week. Three, So because

576
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:45.079
you got one on the other ones. Because that then I've got four ones

577
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:49.360
and three zeros. That's the worst. It's just the worst. It's not

578
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:52.159
right. I'm okay with that.
I don't want I'm being punished like this.

579
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.239
See I think I'm being punished by
somebody. No, you're punished by

580
00:38:55.320 --> 00:39:00.119
your past somewhere. Yes, if
you say it was a football curve to

581
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:02.960

this pool before. Okay, you've won

582
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:07.599
it, right, I've won it
and I finished second. I finished before.

583
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:10.960
That was many years ago. It
was a long time ago. Yeah,

584
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.159
I'm still a blue blood. Okay, blue book because you started,

585
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:20.119
all right, who wants to start? You want to start, I'll start.

586
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.960
Give us your first pick, all
right, Just so people know the

587
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:28.000
special game this week, we got
Dolphins at the Eagles Hattle game. We

588
00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:30.719
got an NFL game to pick that. We've got to pick a game to

589
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:31.960
think about. Because I went back
and forth with that. Yeah, I

590
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:34.880
went back and forth. All right, go ahead, it gets okay.

then I said, no, I don't

594
00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:45.599
like that game. It just doesn't
make sense to me. So I want

595
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:51.480
to go with Oklahoma State. Uh, minus three and a half, I

596
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:54.599
guess against the West Virginia or plus
three and a half. I dance plus

597
00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:58.360
three and a half. Let me
see what is it? Is it plus

598
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:00.599
three and a half? I like, yes, plus three. I'll take

599
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:01.960
the three and a half. I'll
take the Oklahoma State three and a half.

600
00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:06.159
Playing better. They're playing much better
football, yeah than they had been.

601
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:07.519
Right, So that's kind of why
I like to I know they'd be

602
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:10.679
a issue. And then they played
last week and they won as an underdog.

603
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:14.639
I think, so it wes.
Virginia is kind of like not so

604
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:16.880
good. So three and a half
Oklahoma State? All right, I'm jumping

605
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:21.079
back on a bandwagon that I jumped
off of and should have stayed on.

606
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:24.000
Is that Oklahoma? Oklahoma? Who
are they playing? They're playing Central Florida.

607
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:28.440
It's Central Florida, seventeen seventeen and
a half. It's at Oklahoma,

608
00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:31.400
Okay, and it's a it's a
big twelve game for Central Florida. I

609
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:37.519
saw the I just feel like,
I, you know, I abandoned the

610
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:39.599
bandwagon because they lost. I should
have just stayed on it and I would

611
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:43.079
have hit. I would have hit
that game against Texas and everyone did I

612
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.960
tell you because because you got off
of it. Yeah, I jumped out.

613
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:49.239
You jumped on I jumped I'm on
it now and I'm staying on it.

614
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.280
So I got Oklahoma. I saw
that game, giving seventeen and a

615
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:53.519
half to Central Florida. I saw
that game and I said, you know

616
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:55.800
what, I'm gonna stop it because
I think you're gonna get a buck on

617
00:40:55.960 --> 00:41:00.679
it, and I am I did. Okay, very predictable. That's cool.

618
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:04.320
Okay, So this is a game
I kind of really liked. I

619
00:41:04.400 --> 00:41:07.159
didn't know who they're playing, but
Oregon minus twenty against Washington State. Yes,

620
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:10.119
and it's that point in fact,
you know, I don't care about

621
00:41:10.159 --> 00:41:13.719
points. You don't think they're gonna
score enough point you don't think I don't

622
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:15.800
think I was gonna score I don't
have that. I don't care about any

623
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:20.440
points. I just care about the
situation. So Oregon minus twenty against Washington

624
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:25.280
State, Oregon's coming off a loss, and they're pissed and boom. Yeah

625
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:29.079
see I think you know, there's
you know, the questions are they going

626
00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:31.559
to be mad or are they gonna
be you know, they're gonna be pissed.

627
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:36.440
They're still the best team in the
league, passed the best team at

628
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:39.119
home. Yeah, it's at and
they're my lock. There're my college lock.

629
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:43.920
You're gonna lock down? Yeah all
right, you know, well you

630
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:47.440
know what I think. I'm locking
Oklahoma. So okay, okay, all

631
00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:54.719
right, okay, my uh my
next college pick. Yeah, it's set.

632
00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:59.920
I'm taking Stanford. They're they're getting
seventeen from U C. L A.

633
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:02.599
Yeah, that's that's a good number. UCLA might not score seventeen points,

634
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:07.719
Okay, it's a Stanford. They're
coming off that huge comeback win over

635
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:14.559
to Colorado. I think Stanford is
you know, they're that team that everybody

636
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:16.639
thought was going to be really bad, and they were. They started playing

637
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:21.800
better, nearly beat Arizona. Then
they did what they did against Colorado last

638
00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:27.519
week. I feel good about themselves
and against Seventeen is a lot for UCLA

639
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:30.159
to be giving. I don't think
they've scored seventeen in the last several weeks,

640
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:34.519
so I think that's a big number. I'm so I'm I'm all over

641
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:39.920
Stanford at home against UCLA. Okay, I'm indifferent to that game. Okay,

642
00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:43.599
so now go to the pros because
I you take more of those.

643
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:47.159
I'm gonna go with the Rams over
the Steelers at home. I think the

644
00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:51.519
Rams are still kind of finding themselves, but they're finding themselves in a good

645
00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:58.039
way. Rams minus three at home
right against against the Steelers. I looked

646
00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:00.079
at that hard, but I and
I went to when I went to the

647
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:02.400
NFL board, I said, well, I got to pick the Eagles Dolphins

648
00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:06.760
game. And then I just jumped
on. There aren't very many sexy games

649
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:08.599
this week. In yeah, I
mean there. Then there's some bad ones.

650
00:43:08.639 --> 00:43:12.920
I mean that that that the Raiders
Bears game. Oh my god,

651
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:17.639
nobody should be getting any points in
them. You canceled because of bon Yeah,

652
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:21.880
exactly. You got the Commanders and
the Giants. That's a terrible game.

653
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:27.079
You got the Cardinals and the Seahawks, terrible buckas talkings and bucks a

654
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:30.159
terrible game. You know, there's
a bunch of bad games. So anyways,

655
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:32.920
all right, but I'm taking them
one more college game again, a

656
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:37.320
bandwagon that I should have gone on
a long time ago and didn't. But

657
00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:42.159
I'm getting on now. North Carolina
giving twenty three and a half to Virginia.

658
00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:45.159
They're at North Carolina. Virginia is
just a bad team. North Carolina

659
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:51.679
thinks they can get into the playoffs. That's with under the twenty four by

660
00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:53.800
half a point. I think that's
a good number. So I got North

661
00:43:53.840 --> 00:44:00.480
Carolina giving twenty three and a half
to Virginia. Okay, I went with

662
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:05.239
the rems. Okay, I really
wasn't sure about this game, but I'm

663
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:08.559
gonna do it anyway. Uh,
Seahawks MIGHTUS seven and a half over the

664
00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:14.960
Cardinals. I just don't think the
Cardinals are very good. Yeah, but

665
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:19.519
you know the Seahawks their defense is
pretty good, and the Seahawks that they

666
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:22.119
just don't score a ton of points. So but you know, if you,

667
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:24.280
I mean, if you're bet down
that game, your bet against the

668
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:28.719
Cardinals, Yeah, of course,
what was your previous what was your previous

669
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:31.400
one? You last one? I
took North Carolina, all right, I

670
00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:34.840
know that, I know that.
I know these guys pushed in in a

671
00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:37.400
bad game against a bad team,
but they've helped me, you know,

672
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:42.519
pretty much all season long. I'm
taking the Chiefs. I like that game

673
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:45.920
a lot. I really did.
Yeah, they're they're at home. They're

674
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:49.199
giving five and a half to the
Chargers, so it's under a touchdown.

675
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:53.519
I think the Chargers are just running. Their season is getting ruined, you

676
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:58.199
know, right, Yeah, it's
coach, it's coach. They need to

677
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:00.599
get rid of the coach. Well, whatever points you need to get rid

678
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:01.760
of. I like that number,
But to me, that's a trick number

679
00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:06.320
because in my in my the rivera
line that would be like an eight.

680
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:08.880
It be like an eight. So
what's up with that time? Somebody,

681
00:45:08.920 --> 00:45:13.760
if somebody knows something number exactly.
Either they play them well or that's just

682
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:16.159
a tricky number to me. I
hate those numbers. But I I you

683
00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:19.920
know, I look, I looked
down the line and said, how do

684
00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:22.400
you not take the chief? Right? No, exactly, I think.

685
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:24.800
But it's a weird number, isn't
it? Because it's too few, too

686
00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:27.960
few points? I think that game
should be. Yeah, like I said,

687
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:30.480
eight or not, and you think, okay, I'll take those points.

688
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:34.239
But then five and a half of
why not give them? Okay?

689
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:36.400
So now I think that's a good
pick. But I but I but I

690
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:37.800
don't know. I just think that's
a crazy number. All right, Okay,

691
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:42.039
So now the Eagles and the Dolphin. My locke. I really had

692
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:45.400
a hard time figuring this and out. I wanted to go with the Eagles.

693
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:46.800
I wanted to go to the Eagles. They got beat last week,

694
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:52.719
right, they got They're at home
this week, prime to come back from

695
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:57.440
that. But Miami is so damn
good, and it's they're not facing Buffalo.

696
00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:00.360
So the Eagles, I think we'll
lose two straight. It's only two

697
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:05.280
and a half, could come down
to a field goal. U. So

698
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:08.960
I'm taking Miami. I'm taking a
team that will score points rather than rather

699
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:12.159
than not score points. All right, well I'm on the opposite. I

700
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:15.559
ended that. I like it.
I'm taking the Eagles. Like Eagles.

701
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:17.800
I don't know how you don't take
the Eagles at home again coming off a

702
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:22.119
loss. I have a hard time
thinking they're gonna lose. You know,

703
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:24.360
I like the Dolphins a lot.
I mean, they covered, they covered

704
00:46:24.400 --> 00:46:28.800
formula. They were my one team
that covered for me last week. They

705
00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:32.960
got me a point or no,
they got me to not be negative is

706
00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:37.480
what they did. So, you
know, and they were down fourteen to

707
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:39.960
nothing in that game, right when
fourteen nothing sure and you're thinking of because

708
00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:43.719
I'm not, I thought I'm toast. Yeah, like, what do you

709
00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:45.039
do? But that was way early, and you know they're gonna score points

710
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:49.079
and they did. Yeah. I
like the Eagles. I like both of

711
00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:52.119
the I like both of these quarterbacks. You know, I think these are

712
00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:57.559
the two kind of leading guys for
the for the m v P. You

713
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:00.239
know, it's less than a field
goal I'm taking. I'm taking. This

714
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:02.039
could be a preview of the Super
Bowl. This could be a preview of

715
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:07.079
Super Bowl Champancisco, Philadelphia. Samson
has got a bunch of injuries. They

716
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:09.679
got a bunch of guys that might
not playing, but those two still San

717
00:47:09.679 --> 00:47:15.360
Francisco to the Chiefs and Dolphins.
Right, Buffalo steaking, Buffalo, they

718
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:19.639
steak. They're still They're still going
to be pretty good. They still have

719
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:22.840
enough people, the fire powerate people. They almost thought they were going to

720
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:27.400
lose. They really should have on
Monday or Sunday Sunday night, Yeah,

721
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:30.159
they should have. They didn't cover. No, no, okay, So

722
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:35.199
those are all right, So here
we go. Uh, I'll recap Steve

723
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:39.280
he's got Oklahoma steak yadding three and
a half from West Virginia. At West

724
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:44.880
Virginia, he's taking Oregon. He
thinks that he thinks they're really mad about

725
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:50.239
that loss to Washington as opposed to
being demoralized by it. They're giving twenty

726
00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:53.320
to Washington State. That game is
at Oregon. The Rams are at home

727
00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:58.360
giving three to the Steelers. You
locked Oregon, right, Yeah. The

728
00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:01.239
Seahawks are at home giving seven and
a half to the Cardinals. If that

729
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:05.000
was a six and a half,
I think that that that, you know,

730
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:07.840
would be something I'd be more inclined
to do. But seven and a

731
00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:10.119
half just the Seahawks just don't seem
to throw a lot of points on the

732
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:13.519
board. I think Cardinals have a
good defense, so you're gonna lose that

733
00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:16.760
one. So you know that makes
some That means I'm gonna win a lot.

734
00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:22.199
And then in the in the special
game, Steve's got the Dolphins getting

735
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:25.639
two and a half at the Eagles. I'm back on the Oklahoma bandwagon giving

736
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:31.119
seventeen and a half to Central Florida. I've got Stanford getting seventeen at home

737
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:35.760
from Ucla. I just think their
defense is pretty good. But if they

738
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:38.079
can hold Arizona to twenty one points, that you can hold Ucla to like

739
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:43.679
four. I got North Carolina giving
twenty three and a half to Virginia.

740
00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:46.239
Uh, just seeing know where this
is coming from, Steve. North Carolina

741
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:53.840
and Oklahoma are two of the top
teams against the spur. Oklahoma is is

742
00:48:54.480 --> 00:48:59.760
whereth they They're five and one.
I had them in the one that they

743
00:48:59.840 --> 00:49:02.960
did cover. North Carolina is also
five and one, but they've covered four

744
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:08.000
in a row. You know who's
really good against the spread? Steep Arizona.

745
00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:13.000
Yeah, they're also five and one
against the spread. Yeah, the

746
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:15.440
only game they didn't cover was Stanford
the twenty one twenty game, and the

747
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:20.840
only two undefeated teams against the spread
are Penn State and un LV. Did

748
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:22.760
you think about the Penn State No, No, we talked about that right

749
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:27.719
before, because we'll know if Ohio
State's legit or not. Yeah, yeah,

750
00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:30.360
I don't know. I don't know
enough about either team. Yeah,

751
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:32.599
oh I picked it Ohow State.
There's a lot and this is this is

752
00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:37.440
the year that that Penn State gets
them. But I didn't have enough faith

753
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:39.840
in either one of that. Anyways, my pro games are Chiefs minus five

754
00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:44.039
and a half at home against the
Chargers, and then, as we said,

755
00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:46.079
I took the Eagles giving the two
and a half at home to the

756
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:51.159
Dolphins. So Steve and I are
on opposite ends of the of the Eagles

757
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:52.880
Dolphins. You see, you have
some explaining to do. You have a

758
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:55.360
lot of kitchen up to do.
Yeah, you know, Steph. At

759
00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:59.400
this point, I just I just
don't want to be the worst ever in

760
00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:01.320
this pool. That's all I'm shooting
for now. I'm trying to shoot the

761
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:07.119
top. I'm shooting for twenty one
points. I'm trying to see. I

762
00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:09.360
don't know if I can get there. We are in fifty fiftieth place out

763
00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:13.760
of over a thousand, So that's
pretty good. Yeah, I'm not even

764
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:16.960
gonna say what I am because it's
bad. They can tell it's really bad.

765
00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:20.880
You can tell your voice and hold
my son. My son goes dead.

766
00:50:20.920 --> 00:50:22.360
Did you know? And I said, yes, I know, Yes,

767
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:25.360
I know, I know you need
to tell me. I am well

768
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:30.039
aware. I'm well aware. You
know, at least at least people know

769
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:32.320
that. You know I'm not you
know, I'm not cheating in this pool,

770
00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:36.239
you know, because I'm running it
and I'm that far down, so

771
00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:39.000
