Speaker 2: and now he has breaking news. Did you go dark
Speaker 2: on me? There's no breaking news and stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh there's breaking news. Is done, no intro, I guess today. Okay,
Speaker 3: Happy Friday to everyone out there. Sorry for the technical
Speaker 3: difficulties right there. Starting off breaking news, the Derek Rose
Speaker 3: has officially retired.
Speaker 2: He announced last night.
Speaker 3: He's leaving legacy in Chicago and various other spots.
Speaker 2: In the around the NBA. He was in the league
Speaker 2: for fifteen years.
Speaker 3: I believe that he's the number one overall pick and
Speaker 3: those nine thousand and eight eight. Yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 3: it's around fifteen years, just a little bit over probably.
Speaker 2: Uh congratulations, you know, no, no, never mind, it was
Speaker 2: just your someone said silence, But no, that was just
Speaker 2: the breaking news. Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 3: He played with the Knicks, the Cavaliers, Timberwalls, Pistons, and
Speaker 3: uh finishing out with the Grizzlies. I'm sure that the
Speaker 3: Bulls will sign them for like a one day.
Speaker 2: I don't think I saw somewhere where they're not allowed
Speaker 2: to because some NBA rule. Really yeah, yeah, you think that,
Speaker 2: but I think there was something against that happening or
Speaker 2: something that prohibited that prohibited that from that happening.
Speaker 3: Oh so I guess he'll be retiring as a Grizzly somebody. Yeah,
Speaker 3: somebody he was? He was a Memphis, right, he played
Speaker 3: a Memphis. He had a couple He had a fifty
Speaker 3: point game, fifty one point game with the Timberwolves two.
Speaker 2: Thousand and I think that was my last Final Four
Speaker 2: because of the paper closing. Really yeah.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: To other NBA news, Unfortunately for my San Antonio Spurs,
Speaker 3: our guard Devin of a Cell will be missing the
Speaker 3: start of the upcoming season as he's recovering from an
Speaker 3: off season surgery.
Speaker 2: I couldn't even tell you who he was. Was he
Speaker 2: did he play? Yeah, he's one of the starts. I
Speaker 2: think he's a startup. Where is he from? Is it
Speaker 2: an international guy?
Speaker 3: I'll try to find more on, but I know he's
Speaker 3: one of the young people that they're trying to surround
Speaker 3: him with.
Speaker 2: They should have a better season, right because of uh,
Speaker 2: what's the name.
Speaker 3: They didn't have a bad season compared to what they
Speaker 3: were having beginning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he had a great summer.
Speaker 3: Obviously he went toe to toe with the USA team.
Speaker 2: So unfortunate. But to the NFL.
Speaker 3: Now, Thursday Night football, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the New
Speaker 3: York Giants twenty to fifteen.
Speaker 2: Hit the number right on the head in an unusual
Speaker 2: score twenty to fifteen to fifteen.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately for them, Uh, Micah Parsons is gonna be dealing
Speaker 3: with a couple of or injury high left ankle sprain
Speaker 3: and uh the Marcus Lawrence suffered a right midfoot spring
Speaker 3: keeping them out for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: Now yeah yeah, and Dallas cannot afford to h to lose.
Speaker 3: Anybody on the defensive side, now yeah. And even in
Speaker 3: that in that game too, the elak Neighbors their rookie
Speaker 3: wide receiver winning with the concussion. So a lot of
Speaker 3: injuries from last night pushing the best for them. More
Speaker 3: injuries for the Jaguars tied end Evaningham to miss his
Speaker 3: third straight game with a hamstring injury. So just in
Speaker 3: and out of the laundry list of NFL injuries. Even
Speaker 3: the Raiders, they were going to be out. We're gonna
Speaker 3: be without DeVante Adams and Max Crosby due to injuries
Speaker 3: hamstring for Adams and a left high ankle sprain for Cosby.
Speaker 3: Right right, Uh, So the Pistons owner, the Detroit Pistons
Speaker 3: owner Tom Groves has a great to purchase a limited
Speaker 3: share of the Chargers.
Speaker 2: M Okay, you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Be purchasing twenty seven percent of the franchise, which includes
Speaker 3: twenty four percent by Dave Spanos.
Speaker 2: Barbiond.
Speaker 3: I don't know how to say that name, but okay, Uh,
Speaker 3: a little bit of new ownership for the Chargers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, with a new coach, I think I think that
Speaker 2: they're obviously going to be be a future problem for
Speaker 2: a lot of teams because of the new coach you know,
Speaker 2: you know, and uh and some of the things they're
Speaker 2: doing right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there they are a challenge right now
Speaker 3: if they can keep their quarterback healthy as we deal
Speaker 3: with Yeah, to the Steelers.
Speaker 2: Right in a you know, slow game, low game, yeah.
Speaker 3: The way Pittsburgh likes it right now right waiting for them,
Speaker 3: and they're they're winning ugly, which is of course is fine.
Speaker 2: You know, as long as you win.
Speaker 3: Win does a win at the end of the day.
Speaker 3: Week three for the NFL some good matchups. You got
Speaker 3: the Foursore, what is it?
Speaker 2: Yes? Week four, thank you sir.
Speaker 3: Week four Saints and Falcons going up against each other.
Speaker 3: You got the Eagles and the Buccaneers. Eagles trying to
Speaker 3: keep their momentum after their win against the Saints last
Speaker 3: last week, and the Buccaneers looking to bounce back from
Speaker 3: a loss to the Broncos.
Speaker 5: UH.
Speaker 3: Looking at the UH Commanders and Cardinals. I think it
Speaker 3: will be a good game. It's in State Farm Commanders
Speaker 3: coming off the big Monday night win. Cardinals if they're
Speaker 3: one and two. But there are two good losses in
Speaker 3: my opinion, to the Bills and to the Lions. They competed,
Speaker 3: and that's that's right. They did, they did. I had
Speaker 3: them against both games. I didn't bet they're win. Who
Speaker 3: they would beat? Who they beat?
Speaker 2: The Cardinals? Yeah, the Rams, oh yeah, yeah. They played
Speaker 2: well in that game, really well.
Speaker 3: And then you got Sunday Night Football, Bills going to
Speaker 3: the Ravens. Ravens coming out their first win of the
Speaker 3: season against the Cowboys. Bills on the Feuter right now
Speaker 3: at three, you.
Speaker 2: Know, right with Alan playing out of his mind, were
Speaker 2: you know you were out with us. We had my
Speaker 2: guest on Monday and with with Matt and Henry right,
Speaker 2: we're talking about give me your top five quarterbacks. Give
Speaker 2: you your top five quarterbacks NFL. You want them in order,
Speaker 2: just just tough.
Speaker 3: You got Mahomes of course, Alan, Okay, I think you
Speaker 3: gotta put Rogers in there just because.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can give you anything. It's a smort it's
Speaker 2: a small list, short list.
Speaker 3: I think you could put Jalen Hurts up there. I
Speaker 3: think I think j Hurts and Lamar Jackson to close
Speaker 3: it out.
Speaker 2: Okay, well they put Jackson in there because of who
Speaker 2: he is. It's all about timing, right, So we had
Speaker 2: him on Monday, and they didn't include Alan because well
Speaker 2: Alan wasn't you know whatever. And then he has a
Speaker 2: great game. I have him in there, but you know
Speaker 2: they hadn't had him in there though, the Baltimore guy. Yes,
Speaker 2: and then you had Hurts. They didn't have Hurts in there.
Speaker 2: It was a short list, but it's just kind of
Speaker 2: a timing. They didn't have Alan, which of course, you know,
Speaker 2: shocked me and my guest, because he's pretty good. He's
Speaker 2: pretty good, and he's versatile. Yeah, he just hasn't done
Speaker 2: much because he's running into a team like Kansas City
Speaker 2: every year. Every year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I put hurts and I try to think
Speaker 3: of it as if they have all their players, they
Speaker 3: have all the weapons at their arsenal.
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 3: I think top Burrow. I think he's had weapons for
Speaker 3: the most vinyl. I think he's done with much with
Speaker 3: it much since the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about some Francisco's guy.
Speaker 3: I think I need one more season, one more full
Speaker 3: season for evidence if he can make.
Speaker 2: Crack that top What about the San Diego's guy? No, No, no,
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think it's the top five.
Speaker 3: I think he's along the six seven, maybe even an eight,
Speaker 3: but not a top five.
Speaker 2: But pretty pretty. You need more evidence, Yeah, I need
Speaker 2: more evidence for party. Okay, Yeah, I think they had
Speaker 2: him in there, and I'm thinking he's not the spectacular quarterback.
Speaker 2: He's a good quarterback, but I'm not sure he's.
Speaker 3: And this might be controversial to anyone out there, but
Speaker 3: I think he's the perfect system quarterbacks quarterback. No, he's
Speaker 3: I'm not shaming him because of that. He's I don't
Speaker 3: want that dude.
Speaker 2: Because that's how you needed a quarterback exactly, just win,
Speaker 2: get your team back and forth. To me, Uh, the
Speaker 2: starback was that guy back in my day, just kind
Speaker 2: of just a dude who's very good and kind of
Speaker 2: ran the system how they want you to run the system.
Speaker 2: If the coach says go left, he's going to go left. Yes,
Speaker 2: Fefita is that guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, I was about to do.
Speaker 2: Laura was not that guy because he kind of ran
Speaker 2: it his own way and kind of out of the
Speaker 2: box too much.
Speaker 3: Tefa put the ball where he needed to be. Pretty
Speaker 3: does the same thing is Frafida?
Speaker 2: I know what telling here? Is Fafida better now than
Speaker 2: he was last year? I don't think this is all
Speaker 2: timing too right, because you know, I'm not just say
Speaker 2: that he's uh regress regressed. I think he's exactly where
Speaker 2: he was last year. Yeah, yeah, I think the circumstances
Speaker 2: of the events have kind of made you kind of
Speaker 2: think about it, right for a second. This is not
Speaker 2: about him because he doesn't have the same targets, he
Speaker 2: doesn't have the same offense. Uh, he's still the same player,
Speaker 2: except that he doesn't have the people around him.
Speaker 3: I think I think the progression that I've seen has
Speaker 3: been in his mobility.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, I.
Speaker 3: Think he's because he has that do because he has
Speaker 3: to be.
Speaker 2: If you want to run, you want to go run more.
Speaker 3: Not necessarily, I think. I think it's it depends on
Speaker 3: the game plan. If they're a run heavy game plan
Speaker 3: that for that week, then Yeah, so a little readoption
Speaker 3: that he's gonna pull a g ten yards first down. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's part of the kind of quarterback he is. You know,
Speaker 3: just keep forward.
Speaker 2: He's capable, but you don't want him to run because
Speaker 2: you could get hurt. Yeah, you don't want That's the
Speaker 2: last thing this team needs. Yeah, exactly, you know, and
Speaker 2: and teammate to get to get hurt, and some of
Speaker 2: the other guys to get hurt. Given the circumstances of
Speaker 2: what's going on right now. Yeah, anything else. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Hurricane Helene has impacted the college football Well, now,
Speaker 3: the Appalachian State game went up against the Liberty has
Speaker 3: been canceled.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Liberty is hoping.
Speaker 3: To reschedule a game or add another game to their
Speaker 3: schedule because they believe they have playoff Yeah. Aspirations they
Speaker 3: can get in and they want to be They think
Speaker 3: that if they have an eleven game season it would
Speaker 3: hinder them, so.
Speaker 2: Hopefully they can.
Speaker 3: You know, they'd like to see all teams play twelve
Speaker 3: games in the season, but just might have to be
Speaker 3: eleven games. And it's even affected the Broncos. They were
Speaker 3: in West Virginia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be there by that time, right,
Speaker 2: just the remnants of the of the hurricane.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so they were at a resort that had
Speaker 3: a practice fields, but they don't have an end one,
Speaker 3: so they had to go play on the indoor tennis courts.
Speaker 3: They had to do their little some stuff on that court.
Speaker 3: So which which the best for as far as safety
Speaker 3: for everyone out there. Hopefully no more games are canceled.
Speaker 3: But Aleen is here right, Okay? Yeah, soo Auburn is
Speaker 3: going back to their original quarterback that started the season,
Speaker 3: paying Thorn for their game against Oklahoma this week.
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 3: I've never believed in let's go back to QB. I
Speaker 3: think you just gotta stick with the backup at that point. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's it. Soccer, you a Soccer connect. You have a
Speaker 3: soccer big win last night over Cincinnati, their first official
Speaker 3: Big twelve win, beating them two to zero. Okay, cool,
Speaker 3: And then you got as far as their next game.
Speaker 3: They played West Virginia on Sunday eleven thirty am. And volleyball,
Speaker 3: who suffered their first loss of the season to Baylor.
Speaker 3: We're gonna go and play to you tonight or in
Speaker 3: about twenty minutes or so. Yeah, and of course you
Speaker 3: got Week five college football.
Speaker 2: It's pretty good matchup. You got Oklahoma.
Speaker 3: State, Kansas State at Kansas State should be a good
Speaker 3: gamely early kickof nine am.
Speaker 2: You got the BYU.
Speaker 3: Cougar Is going to Baylor should be a good game
Speaker 3: just because it's at Baylor. Probably got Louisville going to
Speaker 3: Notre Dame. Of course, you got the big matchup. Georgia
Speaker 3: going to Alabama should be a good one. Illinois Penn State,
Speaker 3: I think is going to be good.
Speaker 2: I will get your your best bet or you're you're
Speaker 2: lucking at the end of the Yeah, a.
Speaker 3: Little bit of underrated game just because they're not Power five.
Speaker 3: But Washington State going to the Smurf Turf and Boise
Speaker 3: State they're looking to remain undefeated. Boise State looking to
Speaker 3: just not taking another loss so they can try to
Speaker 3: get into the playoffs. Okay, that's it for me.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: There was a couple of things that I thought I had.
Speaker 2: I think we can just go we's just go to break.
Speaker 2: I'll come up with something. I can't remember what they were.
Speaker 2: They were not that they were important. Obviously, Tiger Woods
Speaker 2: lost his trademarkt agreement. I guess with there his red shirt,
Speaker 2: his red tight you know red tiger shirt. You saw
Speaker 2: that probably, and I think that's it. Luckially, you get
Speaker 2: your red blue tickets. That's takes a week. A week
Speaker 2: from today. You don't have to you don't have to
Speaker 2: get tickets. You're gonna be there. You know you're gonna
Speaker 2: be there. It should be a lot of fun. I
Speaker 2: guess I'm a guy who's seen too many of them,

Speaker 2: work for me. I should say, uh, and that's about it.
Speaker 2: I think you've a you've a look into if you're

Speaker 1: This is I on the Ball with Steve Rivera and
Speaker 1: Jay Gonzalez soun Fox Sports fourteen to fifteen. Subscribe now
Speaker 1: to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app just Surgeon I
Speaker 1: on the Ball.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to I on the Ball hero Fox
Speaker 2: Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera, he Swan. Now we
Speaker 2: have Jake Fisher high doing Jake.
Speaker 13: We don't want to follow you, guys, We're doing okay.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. Am I going to
Speaker 2: get the fun Jake or the cranky Jake? Because we
Speaker 2: did not talk to you after last uh last Weekend's
Speaker 2: you a football game? What did you what did you
Speaker 2: see from that? And what do you can we use
Speaker 2: that moving forward?
Speaker 5: Well, Number one, you're gonna get the fun Jake. Obviously,
Speaker 5: I'm over it. I'm always over it the next day.
Speaker 13: I never. I never kind of you.
Speaker 5: Know, dwell in the losses and whatnot, a lot of
Speaker 5: things to take from it, a lot of penalties, obviously,
Speaker 5: I hope because this is what I've experienced. I hope
Speaker 5: this last week you've basically you went hard and practice
Speaker 5: all week because you know the fact is it wasn't
Speaker 5: a talent issue. There wasn't a huge talent discrepancy. It's
Speaker 5: the same thing that we saw from the defensive side. Uh,
Speaker 5: you know when we played New Mexico. Can't contain a
Speaker 5: running quarterback. If you contain a running quarterback, you make
Speaker 5: them pass like Dyu did last week.
Speaker 13: We would have been fine.
Speaker 5: It was fourteen seven in the middle of you know,
Speaker 5: not the middle of the third quarter, but you know,
Speaker 5: after the first couple of drives in the third quarter,
Speaker 5: and then after that because of all the penalties and
Speaker 5: all the missshots that we had, as soon as they
Speaker 5: scored that last touchdown, it almost looked like it broke
Speaker 5: our back and like we kind of just packed it in.
Speaker 5: So number one penalties, if we're able to take the
Speaker 5: penalties down, I think it you know, resulted in two
Speaker 5: miss first downs. Other than that, I mean, it just
Speaker 5: kind of.
Speaker 13: Put some points on the board. Man.
Speaker 5: I mean, the defense is out there way too long.
Speaker 5: You know, they sustained a couple of drives where defense
Speaker 5: just made a mental mistake and you know, thankfully at
Speaker 5: the end of the first half, he didn't you know,
Speaker 5: he didn't check the clock. Otherwise that could have broke our.
Speaker 13: Back right there.
Speaker 5: So other than that, just mental mistakes and if we're
Speaker 5: gonna be playing against the backup quarterback, if we get
Speaker 5: up on them, then we can kind of release the hounds,
Speaker 5: let them go after the quarterback and go from there.
Speaker 5: But other than that, just cut down the penalties.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So given that they have a week off, we talked
Speaker 3: to a keen of this week and he talked about
Speaker 3: how last year they lose to Washington, they lose to
Speaker 3: usc but the city of Tucsons is excited not so
Speaker 3: much this time with the loss of Kansas State. Do
Speaker 3: you think that's an over Do you think it's an
Speaker 3: overreaction or do you think the city of Tucsons in
Speaker 3: their right mind or what's what's going on.
Speaker 5: I think because we've never had back to back ten
Speaker 5: when you know, ten win seasons, I think that one
Speaker 5: kind of just disappointed and kind of deflated the city
Speaker 5: of too Son. I think if they come back and
Speaker 5: put on a good showing against Utah, I think everybody
Speaker 5: will be optimistic. Again. It's just we're used to them
Speaker 5: putting up a lot of points and driving down, you know,
Speaker 5: and scoring and for whatever reason, you know, this past game,
Speaker 5: well the past two games, really we haven't looked apart.
Speaker 5: So we're just gonna need to pull our heads out
Speaker 5: of our you know what, and we got to go
Speaker 5: down and put some points on the board because the
Speaker 5: defense can't be out there that.
Speaker 13: Long, you know, when you don't have some of.
Speaker 5: The hastas on the defensive line, especially that.
Speaker 2: We did last year.
Speaker 13: And you know, right.
Speaker 5: Now, it almost looks like the defense is just they
Speaker 5: just don't look like they're used to the system. You know.
Speaker 5: You think because we have some of these guys coming
Speaker 5: back with the same terminology that it would just kind.
Speaker 13: Of be turn key.
Speaker 5: But we got a lot of guys playing that you know,
Speaker 5: normally don't play thankfully, were we should be getting Dalton
Speaker 5: Dalton I forget his last name for the life of me,
Speaker 5: back to our best safety in my opinion, So if
Speaker 5: we can get some of those guys back, kind of
Speaker 5: reassure the truths and uh just plut me their hair
Speaker 5: on fire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it sounds easy, but obviously it's not. Let
Speaker 2: me ask you the thing that you brought up a
Speaker 2: couple of times of the penalties, where does that come from?
Speaker 2: Because if it seems like most of our are undisciplined, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 5: One of them on Rhino who was playing on a
Speaker 5: bad knee. I know that, you know, I mean, you
Speaker 5: can let that go. But he just, you know, an
Speaker 5: older guy made a good pass rush move, kind of
Speaker 5: dipped in, you know, and then kind of got him
Speaker 5: off his balance, and then he reached and had to
Speaker 5: kind of so he didn't have a free shot at
Speaker 5: Noah and then Moy. I mean, he was going to
Speaker 5: hit a guy, a quicker guy, you know, and honestly,
Speaker 5: if he didn't get his hands on him, he probably
Speaker 5: would have basically juked himself out of the play. But
Speaker 5: you know, he was trying to hit him. That happened
Speaker 5: a couple of the other ones. Just you know, defensive
Speaker 5: off sides, all that other stuff. It's just all discipline.
Speaker 5: And like I said, you know the two coaching staffs
Speaker 5: I had when we were at the U of A.
Speaker 5: If we had a game like that with all those penalties,
Speaker 5: I mean that next week is tough. And the cool
Speaker 5: thing is if you win a game and you know
Speaker 5: it's going to be a they're gonna be a little
Speaker 5: more lenient on you. You're going to put a hell
Speaker 5: of a lot more effort into the weeks where he
Speaker 5: you know after a loss.
Speaker 2: Tell me because and does that work?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: It depends on who they're coaching.
Speaker 13: Seven. Yeah, tough is good on good.
Speaker 5: And you know, if you got a guy injured that
Speaker 5: you can rely on, obviously you let him get well.
Speaker 5: But if you got guys that didn't perform well, you know,
Speaker 5: they just didn't look good and he didn't look disciplined,
Speaker 5: you're going good.
Speaker 13: On good a lot. That's just kind of how it
Speaker 13: is because if you let.
Speaker 5: Guys, especially at this level, if you let guys get
Speaker 5: away with that type of stuff going through the whole year, right,
Speaker 5: you're not going to get better. So this should have
Speaker 5: been a dresser in camp. I know it's a new
Speaker 5: coaching staff with a lot of new moving parts, but
Speaker 5: you know, especially rich Rod, he would make it hell we.
Speaker 2: Right right, And he was one of those dudes that
Speaker 2: hates to lose, hated to lose and let's go. Let's
Speaker 2: go with that. So we saw that. We spend a
Speaker 2: lot of time with rich Rod and I even did
Speaker 2: a story about how much how painful it was for
Speaker 2: him to lose. He says, well, if you're going to
Speaker 2: play a game and you keep score, hell, I want
Speaker 2: to win. Right, you know, why not? Why not win?
Speaker 2: What do you make? And you could be as honest
Speaker 2: as you want, what do you make of Brennan?
Speaker 13: Well, to be honest with you, I've never met him.
Speaker 5: I know, if you can turn around a San Jose
Speaker 5: State program into what it was and consistently make bowl games,
Speaker 5: it's not that you're a bad coach, you know, It's
Speaker 5: just it's one of those things where I think, you know,
Speaker 5: the feeling out process has been a little bit longer
Speaker 5: than I would have liked. And if you have this
Speaker 5: type of talent on the offensive side of the ball,
Speaker 5: then you only put up you know, twenty and then
Speaker 5: ten or twenty and then seven or whatever it's been
Speaker 5: over the last two weeks. That's a problem, especially because
Speaker 5: Tmax still had like one hundred and sixty something yards receiving,
Speaker 5: So it's like, what the hell are we doing? And
Speaker 5: a lot of it, again comes down to either miscommunication,
Speaker 5: the penalties, you know, maybe getting pushed around on the line.
Speaker 5: I mean, it didn't look like we were getting bullied
Speaker 5: on the line, you know, it was the outside containment.
Speaker 5: It's you know, we got them on third and eleven
Speaker 5: or third and twelve, third and eight, third and seven
Speaker 5: or whatever it might be.
Speaker 13: I mean, you have a chance.
Speaker 5: To really stop him, get the ball back to the
Speaker 5: offense's obviously struggling, but then you let a guy run
Speaker 5: for you know. I mean in the third quarter, the
Speaker 5: guy ran for like forty yards and that.
Speaker 13: Broke our back.
Speaker 5: So again, it's penalties, it's just miscommunications, whatever it might be.
Speaker 5: Hopefully they're all you know, they're a little bit tired
Speaker 5: of this week.
Speaker 2: There was something I want to ask you, Oh, you know,
Speaker 2: the thing that bothered me the most, and you know
Speaker 2: I have no skin in the game, and I'm not
Speaker 2: a fan or not not against them either, is that
Speaker 2: they looked or appeared like they were indifferent. There was
Speaker 2: no life after that first drive and they went down.
Speaker 2: It was like, you know, what the hell, let's get
Speaker 2: out of here and you know, regroup when we get
Speaker 2: back to Tucson. I don't know if you sense that.
Speaker 13: I mean I kind of did. After the first drive.
Speaker 5: I'm like, I like the meticulous drives where you get
Speaker 5: to third and two, third and three and you continually
Speaker 5: get a first down that can break.
Speaker 13: The spirit of a defense.
Speaker 5: You know, if we would have had another drive like that,
Speaker 5: maybe it would have been a different game.
Speaker 13: I don't know, you know.
Speaker 5: But the fact of the matter is the coaches.
Speaker 13: Obviously, you know the two head coaches.
Speaker 5: I had when I was there, they get in your
Speaker 5: face if you didn't do well. You know, I don't
Speaker 5: see a lot of that. It depends on what the
Speaker 5: kid reacts to. If the young man is okay with
Speaker 5: taking that kind of criticism, go for it.
Speaker 13: If they're not. And if you're gonna have a guy where.
Speaker 5: You know, a coach gets in your face, screams at
Speaker 5: you and yelled at you, honestly, I mean put that aside,
Speaker 5: and you know, work harder for your guys. I don't
Speaker 5: know what to tell you, but it's just different. Normally,
Speaker 5: you shouldn't have a guy that you know, needs to
Speaker 5: have somebody getting in their face because they already have
Speaker 5: that that kind of competitive spair within them. But the
Speaker 5: fact of the matter is you got to find out
Speaker 5: how to push these guys buttons. But I didn't see it. Yeah, no,
Speaker 5: I did didn't either.
Speaker 2: Let me Let me ask you something because I mentioned
Speaker 2: you earlier before you came on. Uh, you were one
Speaker 2: of those guys that helped Spearhead to continue to payment
Speaker 2: for guys and all that. How would you have reacted
Speaker 2: had the guy at Vegue had someone like Vega, the
Speaker 2: guy in Vegas leaves Arizona wasn't getting paid. You guys
Speaker 2: are doing really well and then he leaves. Uh, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm sure you would have been pissed. One and two
Speaker 2: you wouldn't want him to come back and play because
Speaker 2: he's already given up on the team. I could be wrong,
Speaker 2: but that's just my view of how you would react.
Speaker 2: I know how I would react.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, there's three sides to the story of
Speaker 5: you know, what really happened. You have, you know, both
Speaker 5: sides telling you what happened. And this is how I
Speaker 5: see it. If he was promised money, obviously he's pissed.
Speaker 13: If he's saying this.
Speaker 5: To try to get, you know, a pay increase, then
Speaker 5: obviously the program is pissed. So it's like, who's right here?
Speaker 5: Right If you're one of the players, he comes and
Speaker 5: he says, they offered me money and they're not giving
Speaker 5: me the money, and then you have the coaching staff
Speaker 5: and the entire organization coming and say, we never talked
Speaker 5: to the agent about this. Then to be honest with you, like,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm going to be pissed off at the quarterback.
Speaker 13: I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's one of those things to where if you
Speaker 5: have something in writing and like it goes back to
Speaker 5: the nil thing, like this is a wild wild West
Speaker 5: right now. Kids deserve to get paid. I'm never going
Speaker 5: to say they don't. However, needs to come to the
Speaker 5: you know, the part where there needs to be contracts.
Speaker 13: There just has to be.
Speaker 5: So if somebody comes and says, hey, listen, I have
Speaker 5: an incentive structure here saying you know, if we won
Speaker 5: our first three games and I'm the starting quarterback, I
Speaker 5: get one hundred grand, Well then you know, if they
Speaker 5: don't adhere to it, then you know, obviously remove it
Speaker 5: from the locker room. This is on your agent and
Speaker 5: on the university. But if you don't have it, and
Speaker 5: now it's just kind of a hearsay thing, you don't
Speaker 5: know who to believe. So again, people deserve to get paid. However,
Speaker 5: it needs to go to the next step, step out
Speaker 5: of the wild wild west that we've had over the
Speaker 5: last couple of years. Start putting contracts together and get
Speaker 5: this all solidified. But you know, the NCAA won't do that.
Speaker 5: Because it takes them, you know, four games basically to
Speaker 5: tell a guy he can play, when they told them
Speaker 5: already over the offseason that he could.
Speaker 2: Right going truth that he may never see the light
Speaker 2: of day again here and do something. Okay, So now,
Speaker 2: so now, Steve Rivera is you're a quarterback, you're the
Speaker 2: linebacker for the team, and and I leave. Well, listen,
Speaker 2: I'm the quarterback that wants to end up on your
Speaker 2: team and I just left my other team. You gonna
Speaker 2: welcome with open arms.
Speaker 13: I don't know about that.
Speaker 5: First, I would say, well, number one, Steve, I know
Speaker 5: you didn't get offered one hundred grand, so we'll start there.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 5: I honestly, I don't know how I feel if if
Speaker 5: you're gonna be a mercenary and you're doing it just
Speaker 5: for the money, I don't want you on my team, exactly,
Speaker 5: I said.
Speaker 2: I said that earlier this week. I said, I don't
Speaker 2: know if I want that dude being my quarterback, because
Speaker 2: what the hell? He might jump ship.
Speaker 5: Again exactly, and guess what if you know, he makes
Speaker 5: up a story where he wins the next three games.
Speaker 5: When he goes over there and you guys are on
Speaker 5: a roll, everybody's happy because they're winning. And then he
Speaker 5: goes they also offer me this money and then you
Speaker 5: jump ship. It's like, I mean, now you're left hold
Speaker 5: in the bag. So no, if somebody's gonna be a
Speaker 5: mercenary just for money, I don't want to sure.
Speaker 2: And then I don't know how you would feel. But
Speaker 2: you're thinking this dude, Steve riverare he's get one hundred thousand,
Speaker 2: I'm more getting fifty. What's up with that?
Speaker 5: Well, I guess with Steve, if your production is better
Speaker 5: than mine, I have no problem with you get and
Speaker 5: pay more money.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, that's good. Look at you, mister pregnantity. Hey,
Speaker 2: by the way, only one of us can be funny
Speaker 2: on the show, so stop it. So give you a
Speaker 2: prediction for this weekend.
Speaker 5: If it's the backup quarterback playing, which I haven't heard, definitively,
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 13: Know if you have. I don't follow this uff.
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be the backup.
Speaker 13: Well, if it's the.
Speaker 5: Backup, then we better win, That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 5: If we lose to a backup, even though Utah is
Speaker 5: a hell of a team, but they don't have Cam Rising,
Speaker 5: then we should win.
Speaker 13: And to be.
Speaker 5: Honest with you, I mean, if we're able to even
Speaker 5: allow Noah to stay clean for most of the game,
Speaker 5: then we better pick them apart. Because you know, to
Speaker 5: be honest with you, if you jump up on a
Speaker 5: team that has a backup quarterback, like I said earlier,
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, they have to start pressing
Speaker 5: and you are able to start blitzing the hell out
Speaker 5: of a backup quarterback. I mean, they're going to be
Speaker 5: in a world of hurt. So if we jump up
Speaker 5: to a little bit of a lead where they have
Speaker 5: to actually start throwing the ball and he has to
Speaker 5: start making checks at the line of scrimmage, you start
Speaker 5: blitzing them.
Speaker 13: We better win. That's all the thing.
Speaker 5: I'm not giving you a score prediction.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: If we don't win, I'm very disappointed.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: And lastly, you you how were you guys in revenge games?
Speaker 2: And doesn't it really does it really matter? You know,
Speaker 2: Utah came here, you're thinking, oh, wow, look Arizona's got
Speaker 2: these guys and and not it was it was it
Speaker 2: was a big difference. Arizona kick the crap out of
Speaker 2: them now on the revenge game. How was that played out.
Speaker 2: Maybe not specific to this, but the games you have
Speaker 2: always played in for revenge, well.
Speaker 5: Obviously you know you want to kick the heck out
Speaker 5: of somebody that kicked the heck out of you the
Speaker 5: first time or the you know, the previous time.
Speaker 13: This one, in my opinion, is a little bit different.
Speaker 5: Any of have a different coaching staff, and to be
Speaker 5: honest with you, the youth over the last ten years,
Speaker 5: every single time they get up, they keep going until
Speaker 5: the final whistles. So how many times have they rolling
Speaker 5: the opponent? Yeah, you know they can't complain even after
Speaker 5: the game. Last year, coach Whinningham said, I'm not mad
Speaker 5: at that, you know, the with Ahad and blown yet,
Speaker 5: so I expect him to go. So if that's what
Speaker 5: he's about, then I don't really think he's looking at
Speaker 5: as a revenge game. I think these big time coaches
Speaker 5: that have been so good for so long, they look
Speaker 5: at a game as a game. I don't think they
Speaker 5: put one over another. And I think that model of
Speaker 5: consistency is the reason why he's continued.
Speaker 13: To do what he does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree with you. There's no need to
Speaker 2: do that because you know how good you are. And
Speaker 2: you just need a seam roll on your own.
Speaker 13: Exactly.
Speaker 5: I let the guys, as long as you've prepared him
Speaker 5: the right way, the guys should go out and play
Speaker 5: the way that you know they should.
Speaker 2: All right, Jake, thanks a bunch, Thanks a bunch. We'll
Speaker 2: talk to you next week.
Speaker 13: Absolutely what talk to him?
Speaker 2: Good luck? Good luck? That was Jake Fisher. We're going
Speaker 2: to come back and near the side and we'll get
Speaker 2: a hold of Jay. See what if he has any
Speaker 2: magic to do what he did last week with a
Speaker 2: perfect pick. It took him on ten years, so we'll
Speaker 2: come back. We'll get you your winner too this time. Okay. Thanks.

Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to I on the Ball here on
Speaker 2: Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Keys, Juan and look
Speaker 2: who made his way back on the show. You like
Speaker 2: you like one of those roaches I saw at the
Speaker 2: old station that I couldn't find under the walls, couldn't catch,
Speaker 2: couldn't step on.
Speaker 5: Especially especially for.
Speaker 2: Especially especially last week when you when you won that
Speaker 2: perfect week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's well. I prefer to be known as a scab,
Speaker 4: just something that keeps you scrape off and to keep
Speaker 4: it coming back. I don't like the roach thing, you know.
Speaker 4: I'm with being a scatter.
Speaker 2: This is my This is my analogy, not yours. You
Speaker 2: can't your nickname here. But no, no, congratulations. That's been
Speaker 2: since you were a young man when this happened.
Speaker 4: Not quite true, but it had. It has been six
Speaker 4: years since they got a perfect week. The twenty eighteen
Speaker 4: season was my last one, so I didn't realize it
Speaker 4: had been that long. I thought it hadn't In the
Speaker 4: last couple of years, but apparently not.
Speaker 2: Okay, well you're ahead of me, which is, you know,
Speaker 2: another shocker, but you stayed one up. I had a five.
Speaker 5: Enough.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll see what happens this week, because it's for me.
Speaker 2: It was kind of a tough week to pick.
Speaker 4: Well, you know what I saw. What I saw was
Speaker 4: there was a bunch of games that have points spreads
Speaker 4: that are screaming at you to take, which I'm always
Speaker 4: suspicious of those, right, but I'm taking two of them.
Speaker 4: I don't know what to tell you, you know, but
Speaker 4: they're like, you know, I didn't take the Frances Clemson
Speaker 4: is giving twenty one and a half to Stanford. Stanford,
Speaker 4: you know, it's been decent and Conson has not. There's
Speaker 4: a couple others. I think I thought the Miami Virginia
Speaker 4: Tech game tonight was tempting. You know, Virginia Chich's been awful,
Speaker 4: Miami has been real good and it's only nineteen. I
Speaker 4: don't know. There's a whole bunch of those, and I'm
Speaker 4: a little wary of them, and then I'm looking through
Speaker 4: and then I couldn't find anything else to take. But
Speaker 4: I took two of them and I'll tell I'll tell
Speaker 4: you what those are.
Speaker 2: Okay, So let's go. Let's go and get this done.
Speaker 2: So we get this done, you go ahead and go first.
Speaker 5: You're you're the leader, Okay, I'll start.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I've been on the on the Texas
Speaker 4: bandwagon from the get go. They've covered four weeks in
Speaker 4: a row for me, even with big giant spreads, and
Speaker 4: they have another one this week. They're giving thirty eight
Speaker 4: points to Mississippi State. They aren't home, so I think,
Speaker 4: and I know Mississippi State has been awful. So I'm
Speaker 4: just gonna you know, I'm just one of those picks.
Speaker 4: I'm taking Texas because if I don't and they cover,
Speaker 4: I said this classic, I'll be pissed to myself. So
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna keep taking them until they don't cover.
Speaker 4: So Texas minus the thirty eight at home against Mississippi State.
Speaker 2: Well here's the sad point. I'm going to agree with
Speaker 2: you on that one. I know you've been writing them.
Speaker 2: I don't think i've taken them all year, but in
Speaker 2: my list of teams to pick, they landed on that list,
Speaker 2: and and why not thirty eight? It's a big number,
Speaker 2: Like you said, Mississippi State is not that good, so
Speaker 2: I like that number two. At some point they're going
Speaker 2: to disappoint you, right, I hope it's not right. I
Speaker 2: hope it's not this weekend, because I'm picking them too,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 4: And if it's this weekend and I'm four and one
Speaker 4: against the spread with those guys, I can't complain. So yeah,
Speaker 4: all right, well.
Speaker 2: Well they're the number one team. First time they're the
Speaker 2: number one, right.
Speaker 16: It was just they're really good. Yeah, they're really good.
Speaker 16: Damn Dell CONTI, you know, future.
Speaker 4: All right, this is another one that I looked at
Speaker 4: this and I said, how can you not take this? Illinois,
Speaker 4: you know, went to Nebraska and beat Nebraska. They're they're
Speaker 4: undefeated against the point spread. They're undefeated against the spread,
Speaker 4: and uh, the gating eighteen points at Penn State. Eighteen
Speaker 4: points seems like a lot for a team that's been,
Speaker 4: you know, so good so far. Who who else did
Speaker 4: they beat? I can't remember, but I just they went
Speaker 4: over and they beat up on Nebraska. So I'm taking it.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take Illinois and I'm taking the eighteen points
Speaker 4: at Penn State.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's interesting. That's that's a good pick. I guess
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Iowa State going to Houston in minus
Speaker 2: fourteen and a half. I think the Iowa State is okay,
Speaker 2: I think they'll cover that. I'm not sure how good
Speaker 2: Houston is, but I like that number. I like that
Speaker 2: team for this for this weekend at least.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, here's another one. And again, you know,
Speaker 4: I obviously we saw these guys get their butts kicked
Speaker 4: last week by Tennessee. But Oklahoma is going to Auburn
Speaker 4: and only giving two.
Speaker 2: I saw that too, only giving two.
Speaker 4: And again it's another one that who knows who knows
Speaker 4: something that we don't know that that line is only two.
Speaker 4: Auburn is two and two, including a lot at home
Speaker 4: to cal Arkansas beat the hell out of them at
Speaker 4: home yet at Auburn last week.
Speaker 5: And here comes Oklahoma.
Speaker 4: I don't know how that's only a two point line,
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna take Oklahoma and give the two, and
Speaker 4: I'm gonna lock that though.
Speaker 2: I like I like that pick two. I like that picture. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna take. I haven't really picked my
Speaker 2: second lock, but Ohio State minus twenty three and a
Speaker 2: half and.
Speaker 4: I've already gone who they play, Michigan State.
Speaker 2: Michigan State. So minus two and three.
Speaker 4: I looked hard at that. Yeah, I looked real hard
Speaker 4: at that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a big for that game, but I
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be fine with that. Twenty three and
Speaker 2: a half.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if that game is at Ohio State, and even
Speaker 4: if it's twenty eight points at Ohio State, I think
Speaker 4: I take it. That seems like a big number for
Speaker 4: the road, so I'm not taking that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm gonna I looked hard at it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw I'm gonna throw that in my lock department.
Speaker 4: You're gonna lock that one, okay.
Speaker 2: Reluxant, lock, reluxant. Okay, the other two of my pro games, right,
Speaker 2: and one's a lock?
Speaker 13: I read.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm not really sure. I'm not too sure,
Speaker 2: but mother picks have ridden this team for a while. Okay,
Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, you know what I like the Lions.
Speaker 4: They're giving three and a half that are at home
Speaker 4: against the Seahawks. I know the Seahawks have been decent,
Speaker 4: but they're on the road. Uh, it's a Monday night game,
Speaker 4: so Monday night home games are a different thing. They're
Speaker 4: a spectacle. I feel the Lions fans are going to
Speaker 4: be fired up for this. I prefer this is two
Speaker 4: and a half, not three and a half. But I
Speaker 4: feel pretty good about the Lions, so I'm gonna take
Speaker 4: the Lions at home giving three and a half to
Speaker 4: the Seahawks.
Speaker 2: So you know, I must be looking at the same
Speaker 2: numbers because I like Detroyd. I've written you tried a
Speaker 2: couple of times already. This might be my third time.
Speaker 2: So I like three and a half two. I agree
Speaker 2: with you. I'd rather have two and a half than
Speaker 2: three and a half. But I like this number. I
Speaker 2: like this team.
Speaker 4: Are you taking it?
Speaker 2: I'm taking de Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, okay, Well here's the special. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: unveil this. I don't know what what you're gonna do, but.
Speaker 2: You know I was all over the.
Speaker 4: Bills last week. I locked him in fact, they covered
Speaker 4: for me huge. They looked very impressive. I mean they
Speaker 4: just kicked a living you know what out of the
Speaker 4: play the Jagged last week. Who was it?
Speaker 5: They beat the hell.
Speaker 2: Out of somebody. Yeah, Jacksonville, Jacksonville, Jacksonville.
Speaker 4: And they look really good. But this is that game
Speaker 4: to me, where Josh Allen is expected to you know, okay,
Speaker 4: he's specially they're already talking MVP for him and stuff
Speaker 4: like this. This is the type of game where he
Speaker 4: falls flat face. They're at the Ravens. I'm a little
Speaker 4: surprised that the Ravens are giving points, but it's only two
Speaker 4: and a half. So basically, who wins the game. I
Speaker 4: think Lamar Jackson is He's due for a great game.
Speaker 4: It's the Sunday night game. I'm gonna take the I'm
Speaker 4: gonna take the favorite. But to me, they're like the underdog.
Speaker 4: Everybody thinks that the Bills are going to cover this.
Speaker 4: People are, you know, Bills getting points. People are all
Speaker 4: over that I'm taking the Ravens and getting the two
Speaker 4: and a half.
Speaker 2: I don't know who you're talking to, but I'm talking
Speaker 2: to the same people apparently, because I'm not taking I'm
Speaker 2: not taking Buffalo on this one. I'm taking Baltimore. I
Speaker 2: think Baltimore. Buffalo has already got their kind of nice cushion.
Speaker 2: Baltimore still needs to get back on the winning ways,
Speaker 2: and they did last week obviously, but I think this
Speaker 2: is an important game because the two good teams they
Speaker 2: might face each other in the playoffs and Baltimore. No,
Speaker 2: I agree with you, and the number is not bad.
Speaker 2: I like the number.
Speaker 4: So I'm going and a half.
Speaker 2: I'm going with Baltimore too. I'm going with Baltimore. So yeah,
Speaker 2: what I have one, two, three, two?
Speaker 4: I mean we have let's see, we both got Texas
Speaker 4: and both got the lines.
Speaker 2: We both got the Ravens man.
Speaker 4: You've got Ohio State and Iowa State.
Speaker 2: I've got Illinois, Oklahoma, all the gin joints. This time
Speaker 2: we have three same pictures. This is the first time.
Speaker 4: Remember I gave my picks first. Though. Somebody's gonna get
Speaker 4: get get accused of, you know, following somebody.
Speaker 2: You're following me, Dad, I have never been following years.
Speaker 2: I'll have to reevalue my life.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So uh yeah, well three games the same. That's interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But you know, Steve, I mean go ahead.
Speaker 4: It's like there were just some obvious games. It seemed like, yeah,
Speaker 4: no to me, the obvious always seems to be where
Speaker 4: you get tripped up. Yeah, and that I'm a little
Speaker 4: worried about.
Speaker 2: These things right right now, I really am. Yeah. They're
Speaker 2: tough games, but but I I agree with you, so wait, wait,
Speaker 2: we didn't get our our soothsayer here last week. He said,
Speaker 2: go ahead and tell me what you were gonna.
Speaker 3: So, so, Jay, I don't know if you remember this,
Speaker 3: but last week during breaking news I had talked about
Speaker 3: the games for the week for college football. I said,
Speaker 3: b y U and Kansas State. I think that's going
Speaker 3: to be a good game, right.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: I didn't get a chance to to say my lock
Speaker 3: for the week because you were giving your goodbyes.
Speaker 2: Everyone was crying giving you I was going to choose
Speaker 2: by u.
Speaker 4: H Man, Kansas State holds the hell out of me
Speaker 4: last week.
Speaker 2: So he's telling you, it's like you going to the
Speaker 2: to the to the window to make a bet. It
Speaker 2: gets the game starts and you're thinking, but I was
Speaker 2: gonna pick this, Yeah, sure you were.
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, I'm going to give one the
Speaker 4: benefit of the docks. I do you remember him bringing
Speaker 4: that up? And I was a shot with anybody. You
Speaker 4: bought the way by. You beat the hell out of him.
Speaker 4: I mean they just beat the livy dookie out of him.
Speaker 4: That was ugly.
Speaker 5: And Tennis, Steve, I.
Speaker 4: Don't know if you've been talking about this all week,
Speaker 4: but that really made me think about how bad that
Speaker 4: lock was for Arizona at Kansas State, because remember we
Speaker 4: came out of that thinking, man, Kansas State must be
Speaker 4: really good, and then they had.
Speaker 2: That Yeah right, no, I hear, yeah.
Speaker 4: Your lock is who My lock this week is Oklahoma?
Speaker 2: Oklahoma.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, I think it is too, but I worry either.
Speaker 2: The funny thing about it is you get your perfect
Speaker 2: week this week and then last week, and Henry says
Speaker 2: it took which is a good life from Henry because
Speaker 2: Hennary doesn't say much. He says, it took you to
Speaker 2: leave the show to become perfect in a week. You
Speaker 2: know what.
Speaker 4: That's not right. Okay, that's that's not right. And I
Speaker 4: need somebody standing up for me over there. I know
Speaker 4: Juan wasn't there, but somebody, either Matt or somebody's got
Speaker 4: to got to have my back when things like that
Speaker 4: get said about me behind my back.
Speaker 2: Well, Henry has never cracked wise, but he didn't crack wise.
Speaker 2: He hasn't.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he made he looks mean up a little bit.
Speaker 4: I mean it's a it's a funny comment. If I'm
Speaker 4: if I'm listening to it, I'm laughing. So it was
Speaker 4: funny but at my expense. So I don't know what
Speaker 4: you say.
Speaker 2: Right? There was also okay, so that you who'd you pick?
Speaker 3: So am I locked? I'm gonna go with Jay. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go or maybe not. I don't remember who you choose,
Speaker 3: but he chose the Illinois Penn State game.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Illinois, all right, you and me.
Speaker 4: Man, there's an air knuckle to you on that game.
Speaker 3: I think all the head coach for Pen State he
Speaker 3: wants wide out energy.
Speaker 2: Uh, but it's not the white out game. I don't think. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So just real quick, I was I've been telling the listeners, uh,
