Speaker 1: In the sports page with The Orlando Sentinel at FM
Speaker 1: ninety six to nine.
Speaker 2: In the games, Mike.
Speaker 1: The Bulldog beyond you Jr. From thirty three yards.
Speaker 2: You miss it and the Irish have hope. That's good
Speaker 2: and Ohio State National Champions, the longest toughest postseason climb
Speaker 2: in the history of the sport. And after all that,
Speaker 2: it's Ohio State together at the mountaintop. Champions of College Football.
Speaker 1: Thirty four, twenty three, the final from Atlanta, Ohio State
Speaker 1: College Football Champions for the first time in ten years.
Speaker 1: Dog And it was kind of out of reach until
Speaker 1: it got interesting late in the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Notre Dame Maade. Ohio State sweat a little bit
Speaker 3: at the end, as you just mentioned, but Ohio State
Speaker 3: did clinch it when Will Howard dropped back and through
Speaker 3: a perfect pass to Jeremiah Smith fifty six yards that
Speaker 3: set up the game clinching field goal. Ohio State was
Speaker 3: up thirty one to seven though, midway through the third quarter,
Speaker 3: and that's when the Bulldog went to bed.
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, I did the same thing. I can't believe
Speaker 1: he said that.
Speaker 4: I looked and said, there's no way that's just gonna
Speaker 4: come back turn it off.
Speaker 1: But they did.
Speaker 3: The Irish did make a game of it. But you
Speaker 3: look at the stats, Ohio State was just a better team.
Speaker 3: They outgained Notre Dame four hundred and forty five to
Speaker 3: three hundred and eight. Will Howard completed his first thirteen passes,
Speaker 3: never really got stopped. Ohio State punted just one time
Speaker 3: in the game. And you look at what Ohio State
Speaker 3: did in these playoffs. Man, They blew out Tennessee, they
Speaker 3: blew out Oregon, they beat Texas by two touchdowns. They
Speaker 3: dominated Notre Dame last night. They won every game in
Speaker 3: the playoffs by at least double digits. Their average margin
Speaker 3: of victory was about eighteen points throughout the playoffs. And
Speaker 3: who would have ever thought this was possible six or
Speaker 3: seven weeks ago when they lost the Michigan thirteen to ten,
Speaker 3: and the crazy Ohio State fans wanted to fire Ryan Day.
Speaker 1: I met. That was the first question I asked this
Speaker 1: morning coming out of that last Calle said, so, any
Speaker 1: Ohio State fans, you still want Ryan Day fired it
Speaker 1: to score? Yeah, some of.
Speaker 3: Those fans are insane. Ryan Day is seventy and ten
Speaker 3: as the head coach, he has the third highest winning
Speaker 3: percentage in history of any coach whes coached fifty games.
Speaker 3: He's right behind Newt Rockney. Okay, as far as winning percentage,
Speaker 3: he goes, so yeah, those Ohio State fans are crazier
Speaker 3: than SEC fans. And speaking of that, Big Ten has
Speaker 3: now won two straight national titles. They won it last
Speaker 3: night in Atlanta, in the heart of SEC country. The
Speaker 3: SEC was left out of the College Football Championship game
Speaker 3: for the second straight season. Has the Big Ten supplanted
Speaker 3: the SEC in football dominant?
Speaker 1: It sounds like our cup reporter has a column on
Speaker 1: his mind. Just a question, I'm just asking.
Speaker 3: And by the way, Ohio State has the most expensive
Speaker 3: roster in college football. Reportedly, they've spent upwards of twenty
Speaker 3: million dollars of pay for play money. I don't call
Speaker 3: it nil pay for play money on this team, So
Speaker 3: they essentially bought themselves a national championship. Does that cheap
Speaker 3: it in at all?
Speaker 1: In your opinion? This is the same opportunity that every
Speaker 1: team can do.
Speaker 4: When's and and wait, when did this whole pay for
Speaker 4: play start instead of about thirty years ago?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: No, when did his little saying Because I remember as
Speaker 4: of a week ago you were saying nil when.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what it's not in IL I
Speaker 3: get tired of hearing it and reading it. It's pay
Speaker 3: for play. These guys are making salaries and yeah whatever.
Speaker 3: By the way, Ohio State and Texas are sort of
Speaker 3: the co favorites heading in the next season according to
Speaker 3: the oddsmakers to win the national title. You've got Texas
Speaker 3: at the top, right behind Devans, Ohio State, then Georgia, Oregon,
Speaker 3: Penn State, Alabama, Notre Dame, Tennessee, LSU the top.
Speaker 1: Hey doing a little uh well at this point Tuesday
Speaker 1: morning quarterbacking. Would it have been smarter to schedule that
Speaker 1: game Friday night? I think so. They wouldn't have had
Speaker 1: any competition there.
Speaker 3: I think they need to move the season up a
Speaker 3: week or two and try to get this done before
Speaker 3: the NFL playoffs start, because again, everything got lost in
Speaker 3: the NFL. I mean we were yesterday everybody was talking
Speaker 3: about the NFL playoff games. The College Football Championship game
Speaker 3: was sort of an afterthought. I think they need to
Speaker 3: do something to sort of tweak this to get it
Speaker 3: away from the NFL playoffs, or at least as best
Speaker 3: they can get them away from the NFL playoffs, What
Speaker 3: do you guys think.
Speaker 1: I, at least in this case, I think with yesterday
Speaker 1: being the MLK Holiday, the inauguration, everything that's going on
Speaker 1: in the news, it did you said it. It got
Speaker 1: buried with everything. And had you had to have that
Speaker 1: Friday night, and then you would have had it Friday night,
Speaker 1: that would had the spotlight to themselves. You had your
Speaker 1: NFL playoff games on you know, Saturday and Sunday, and
Speaker 1: then you know, yesterday could have been just the holiday. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: I think I think the holiday and I think even
Speaker 4: the holiday was kind of overshadowed. The one thing that
Speaker 4: I realized that kind of really hurts is, guys, that
Speaker 4: was National Championship, which means.
Speaker 1: Nations Football season, College football season's over.
Speaker 4: That's done, and you know what that means around the corner.
Speaker 4: I don't even want to say these forbidden words. But
Speaker 4: the other one's gonna end soon to the NFL.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the NFL never ends.
Speaker 3: It's a never ending a tenth mag In fact, speaking
Speaker 3: of the NFL, yesterday, the Bears hired meet Head's offensive
Speaker 3: coordinator Ben Johnson as their new head coach. So Ben
Speaker 3: Johnson leaving the Lions to take over the Bears as
Speaker 3: the head coach. That's a big loss for Dan Campbell
Speaker 3: and his staff of the Lions. I mean, that offense
Speaker 3: has been unbelievable over the last two or three years
Speaker 3: since Ben Johnson took over the offense.
Speaker 4: So it's not as big as big of a loss
Speaker 4: as Saturday was.
Speaker 1: That was shocking. I've still my jaw hit the ground
Speaker 1: with that one. Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a I meant the Commanders, Jay Daniels
Speaker 3: is the real deed.
Speaker 1: He is, he really is. It looked great, so good
Speaker 1: for him, man. Good for the Commanders and their fans
Speaker 1: as well. They've they've been through the ringer for a
Speaker 1: while now.
Speaker 3: So you know, no question, By the way, I need
Speaker 3: to ask you guys a question.
Speaker 1: So they had Arnold Palmer the Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 3: Invitational media day yesterday and they had Scottie Scheffler, the
Speaker 3: defending champion, the chef. They had him on a zoom
Speaker 3: call with members of the local media. I asked him
Speaker 3: a question and he kind of looked at me like
Speaker 3: I was crazy. Well you ask him, I asked him.
Speaker 3: I said, in a weird way, was getting arrested last year,
Speaker 3: the best thing that could have happened to your reputation
Speaker 3: and your brand. And he looked at me, like, what
Speaker 3: are you talking about? I think it was though. I
Speaker 3: think when he got arrested last year, he went from.
Speaker 1: For putting a name with a face in that regard.
Speaker 1: If that's where you're coming from, perhaps the people who
Speaker 1: aren't you know, all tuned into golf bulldog, but I
Speaker 1: think he might have taken that as a bit of
Speaker 1: an insult. Yeah, well, I don't know.
Speaker 3: But before that, before he got arrested, he was sort
Speaker 3: of just hey, he was a good, you know, great golfer,
Speaker 3: but sort of boring.
Speaker 4: I think that gave him I think that's an insult,
Speaker 4: like that saying. I mean, I agree that that made
Speaker 4: him a little more well known.
Speaker 1: And he wasn't just the you know that was.
Speaker 3: Every but he was on his side. They thought, you know,
Speaker 3: they thought the Louisville police was wrong on them.
Speaker 4: He wasn't like the wimpy world champion. He was, Oh
Speaker 4: he's a I get that, but dude, you can't ask
Speaker 4: him that boy?
Speaker 1: Why not? Well he did? It's hey, bulldog, are the
Speaker 1: magic going to be able to get off this? This skid.
Speaker 1: They're on right now. They've lost three in a row.
Speaker 1: They're on the road in Toronto tonight.
Speaker 3: Declaring tonight a must win for the Magic. It's a
Speaker 3: must win. Toronto's pitoful. The Magic have lost three in
Speaker 3: a row. They're three and seven in their last ten.
Speaker 3: They can't shoot their defenses showing cracks. They need to
Speaker 3: win tonight. They need to win.
Speaker 4: They're turning it around. I can tell you a little
Speaker 4: behind the scenes stuff. They're turning around because the signs
Speaker 4: are back.
Speaker 1: Bob found his Magic signs in the garage cleaning out
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Lightning Los speaking of Toronto lose in
Speaker 1: Toronto five to three last night. Yeah, all right, Mike
