WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.439 --> 00:00:02.319 All right, let's get it. 2 00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:06.160 Drives high Friday afternoon, eleven minutes past the hour of 3 00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:06.679 two o'clock. 4 00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:08.320 It's been a nice day. It's been kind of a 5 00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:09.320 cool day. 6 00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:11.919 Not as warm as we've had for the past couple 7 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:15.160 of weeks. As fall is on its way. We're looking 8 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.559 at about eighty eight degrees, clear, little rain earlier today. 9 00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.239 You got some nice weather over the weekend. It cools 10 00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:24.879 down next week in preparation for game day. It's gonna 11 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.760 feel like fall next week, including some rain potentially start 12 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.719 the week. But as it is every single day, it's 13 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:31.280 good to have. 14 00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:33.840 You along for the rides. Spence check. It's behind the mic. 15 00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.520 That's Porter Larsen beyond the glass producing the program today. 16 00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:42.320 Happy Friday to you.

I don't know, whatever your life entails, keep 20 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.679 doing the things and you've earned your weekend and started 21 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:56.240 out the right way with us. Hopefully I have some 22 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.280 fun plans over the weekend, maybe heading out and doing 23 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.399 a little call. Maybe you're heading out and doing a 24 00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:04.799 little hiking, walking the dog, whatever you're into. Appreciate you 25 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.400 making us a part of your Friday here on your 26 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:09.359 Home of the Uts ESPN seven hundred. 27 00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.280 Speaking of the Utes, we are eight. 28 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.040 Days away, eight days away from game day for the 29 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.200 University of Utah at the Rose Bowl, taking on the 30 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:22.239 UCLA Bruins at nine o'clock Mountain time next Saturday. The 31 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.799 TV coverage for that game will be Fox, the radio 32 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.599 coverage for the game of Courses right here on your 33 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.120 Home of the Utes, pregame coverage with our guy Porter, 34 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.400 and then game day coverage Scott Mitchell, Bill Reilly, Stevenson 35 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:35.519 Sylvester and the likes. 36 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.760 So our broadcast team will have you taken care of. 37 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:43.000 From eight days on this Friday, we are almost there. 38 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.560 We're one day away from the start of college football. 39 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:50.439 Farmageddon in Dublin takes place tomorrow morning at ten am. 40 00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:53.040 It's Iowa State and Case State, a Big Twelve matchup 41 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.599 between two of the top twenty five teams out of 42 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.799 the Big Twelve conference. We'll get you ready for that 43 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.280 game and talk a little week to zero z row 44 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:03.239 on the program today and we're gonna check in live 45 00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:03.879 in Dublin. 46 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.200 Maybe we'll play some bagpipes. I don't know. 47 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.840 It feels irish to me. We're gonna check in live 48 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.039 with Chris Camroadnie. He's gonna be our first guest from 49 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.680 the Athletic Covers College football good friend of the show. 50 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.039 C K will be our very first guest today. Then 51 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.800 we're gonna bring in the defensive coordinator from the University 52 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.840 of Utahs. Sets your clocks for three o'clock. Set your alarms. 53 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.280 I guess I should say would be weird if you 54 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:27.120 set your clock for three o'clock, because then you would 55 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:28.879 be screwed up all day. But set your alarm for 56 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.000 three o'clock to listen to the head coach in waiting 57 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.800 and the defensive coordinator, Morgan Scalley. Today we will do 58 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.879 a little golf as the Tour Championship continues at East Lake. 59 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.039 They had to push up tea times today as a 60 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.080 result of some inclement weather in Atlanta this afternoon, and 61 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.439 Tommy Fleetwood had himself a day as did Russell Henley 62 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.879 continues to play well. We'll give you an update on 63 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.800 the leader board there and we'll talk a little talk 64 00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.159 a little tour championship and some local golf with Paul 65 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.319 Pugmyer today and then our guy Trevor Riley, one of 66 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:04.439 the best to ever do it at the University of Utah, 67 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.840 will join us live in studio for an entire hour 68 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:09.840 starting at four o'clock. Then we'll launch it into the five 69 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.960 o'clock hour of the program. We'll say goodnight at six 70 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.400 and bid you a good weekend right here on ESPN 71 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.400 seven hundred. So a lot of football, top of my awareness. 72 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:24.599 Some uncharacteristic NFL trades this time of the year, you 73 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.120 don't see a ton of them. But the Commanders and 74 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.560 the Niners made a deal today. Brian Robinson is headed 75 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:30.960 to the San Francisco. 76 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.639 Forty nine Ers, really good young running back. 77 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:37.800 Niners send a twenty twenty sixth, sixth round pick. Robinson 78 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.560 did not play in the preseason game on Monday against Cincinnati, 79 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.479 and it looked like the Commanders may have tried to 80 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.240 release him if they weren't able to trade him. Commanders 81 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:49.919 are going to save about three point three mil in 82 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.400 salary cap space, and the Niners obviously need depth at 83 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.360 running back because Christian McCaffrey, albeit potentially the most talented 84 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.960 running back in the league, is just not found a 85 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.360 way to stay healthy all year long. He's made it 86 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.240 through camp without an issue, but Robinson will certainly provide 87 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:08.479 some depth in that running back room should the Niners 88 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:13.560 need it. So SAMEDIFL News SAMNFL News on the show today. 89 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.120 As far as trades go, College football, Top of Mind Awareness. 90 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.680 Kind of a quiet couple of days for news here locally, 91 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.600 as we're just kind of getting ready for the games 92 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.079 as BYU will welcome in Portland State the start of 93 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.160 the young Bear Bachmeyer era under center for the Cougars 94 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.600 and Bronco Mendenhall will start his journey in Logan as 95 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.680 they welcome in utep So a lot to do on 96 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:38.519 the show. RSL with a randomly busy final day of 97 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.160 the transfer window. Don Mark Zuke is on his way 98 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.399 to Cincinnati. Dom was one of the players that was 99 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.480 brought in to try to fill in for the sizable 100 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.120 hole left behind by the seal of Andres Gomez in 101 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.600 the trade of Chico Orongo, Matt Crooks, Anderson Julio. RSL 102 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.600 Electingo essentially jettison the majority of their attack last year, 103 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.759 which is really blown up right in their face. It 104 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.240 was just a dumb thing to do and they have 105 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.680 not found a way to replicate the production. I think 106 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.000 their second in the last second to last and the 107 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.879 Western goals scored. So Don mark Zuk, who had some 108 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.800 moments for ourselves on his way to Cincinnati. DeAndre Jedlin 109 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.759 hopefully we'll make his debut against Minnesota coming up on Saturday. 110 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.879 DeAndre was a guest on the show yesterday for you 111 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:23.800 areself fans and may have missed that. It was fun 112 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:25.639 to get to know the newest member of Rayel saw Lake, 113 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:31.720 so Rwan Cruz, victor O Latunji in addition to DeAndre 114 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:37.240 Jedlin brought in to join Diego Gonsalvius and Diego Luna 115 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.160 and hopefully over the final eight games of the season 116 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.800 they can find some sort of semblance of a consistent 117 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.879 attack because it's been pathetic and anemic. 118 00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.000 There's no other way to say that. 119 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.120 So kind of a random busy twenty four to forty 120 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.519 eight hours for Rayl saw Lake, in addition to all 121 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.439 the stuff we have going on with college football in 122 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.120 the NFL as well. Eight days away from local game day, 123 00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.480 one day away from Week zero, less than two weeks 124 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.120 away from the NFL Week one, getting Golling, no news 125 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.480 on the Micah Parsons situation that seems to be the 126 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.680 one NFL storyline that everybody kind of hones in on. 127 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.839 So we've got Chris Camaraddi live in Dublin, Ireland. We 128 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.839 have Morgan Scally to talk some Utah football, Paul pugmart 129 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.160 and talk some local golf, and Trevor Riley also to 130 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.279 talk some college football on the program today. Me Spence check, 131 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.519 it's all of you, the great listeners. Happy Friday to 132 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.879 you and that guy Porter Larson. One day away from 133 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:28.759 week zero, eight days away from game day. 134 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.959 We made it, man, we made it.

Obviously. 139 00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:46.519 Football season brings a different feel. The leaves start to change, 140 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.519 the air starts to change.

One yard gets 199 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.799 you the win, okay, and then if you combine that 200 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.440 with max discount number two, that's Dak Prescott coming up. 201 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:20.440 Week one in the NFL. 202 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.000 Dak also just has to throw for more than point 203 00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.919 five yards, and as much of a laughingstock as the 204 00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.200 Cowboys are, I think it's a safe bet that Dak 205 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.960 is gonna throw. Porter, can you confirm that you believe 206 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.840 Dak Prescott will throw for at least aye yard against Philly? 207 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:38.000 I have as much confidence in that as I do 208 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.559 the weather report for early next week. 209 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:42.639 So it will rain next week and Dak will throw 210 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:43.600 for at least one yard. 211 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.480 I'm pretty sure on Dak. 212 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:49.600 I think he'll get a yard, maybe maybe one hundred 213 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:50.480 and seventy four or so. 214 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.720 Okay, See, okay, there you go. Well, as long as 215 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:53.799 it's aye yard, you win. 216 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:54.399 So there you go. 217 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.960 Are good friends at Prize Picks, all right. Week zero 218 00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:01.399 is here coming up tomorrow Farmageddon ten A. College football 219 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.600 is officially back in Dublin, Ireland. Iowa State and k State, 220 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:07.559 two teams out of the Big Twelve that of course, 221 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.799 will be paying very close attention to to the top 222 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:12.840 twenty five teams in the Big twelve, two of the 223 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:15.480 tier one teams in the Big Twelve that most people 224 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:20.320 believe will be competing for Big Twelve championships, So we'll 225 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.159 be keeping an eye on that. And obviously we are 226 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.120 eight days away from game day for the Utes at 227 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.919 the Rose Bowl taking on Ucla. Utah remains a six 228 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.000 point five point favor. That line has remained pretty steady. 229 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.519 For those of you that are interested in such things. 230 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.080 We will bring in Morgan Scalley today and Ucla. It's 231 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.320 just kind of an interesting dynamic. It's more or less 232 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.240 a new coaching staff, Deshaun Foster has only been there 233 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.879 a year, and then it's a new offensive coordinator, it's 234 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.799 a new quarterback. If you read around some of the 235 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.440 preseason predictions or come with some of the preseason rankings, 236 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.000 UCLA is not thought to be a very competitive football 237 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:55.559 team this year. I like the nature of this opener, 238 00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:59.120 as we've discussed, you know, Devin Dampier on the road 239 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.039 at one of college football's most hollowed grounds against a 240 00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:05.120 P four opponent, even though UCLA is not thought to 241 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:07.919 be a Big Ten contender this year. I do think 242 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.200 it's the type of opener that you want when it 243 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.480 comes to getting to know this new offense, getting to 244 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:15.519 know this new offensive coordinator, and then just kind of 245 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:19.759 understanding rotationally what the players are going to look like. 246 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.960 You know, how will the carries be distributed in the 247 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.039 running back room where it appears they do have two 248 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:28.759 running backs they like a lot the seven wide receivers 249 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.200 maybe eight wide receivers that travel, first of all, who 250 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.960 are they that's number one? Who's going to be traveling? 251 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.600 How will the reps be split? And then to see 252 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.120 Devin kind of established early on maybe some of his 253 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:42.399 favorite targets will be interesting. I continue to be very 254 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.360 curious slash skeptical about the balance on that side of 255 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.399 the football. You know, what sort of percentage will we 256 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:51.360 see as far as run versus pass? 257 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:55.080 How balance will they be? How dangerous will they be? 258 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:58.039 This was a football team that was an average offense 259 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.919 a year ago away from competing for a Big twelve championship. 260 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:03.639 And look, it is fall camp. 261 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:06.200 It's the end of week three here in fall camp, 262 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.039 and it's the best time of year in a strange 263 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:12.000 way if you're a fan, because everybody has hope, certainly 264 00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:15.720 in the landscape of a college football season where whether 265 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:21.240 it's Vegas preseason, media prognosticators, experts, nobody seems to know 266 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:23.559 how this thing is going to go. It feels as 267 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.600 wide open as it's ever been. And to me, that 268 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:27.679 makes it exciting. And I'm not just talking about the 269 00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:31.120 Big Twelve that seems to be wide open every single year. 270 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:34.080 If last year taught us anything, both BYU and Arizona 271 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.080 State were picked near the bottom of the conference and 272 00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:38.919 both of them finished near the top, with Arizona State 273 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.759 winning the thing. You know, Utah Oklahoma State picked to 274 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:44.279 finish you know, at one, two or three, depending on 275 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.679 who you read, and both those teams finished near the bottom. 276 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.159 So the wide open nature of the Big Twelve appears 277 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:53.039 to be permeating throughout all of college football. Texas is 278 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:54.720 the number one team in the country and they're an 279 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.840 underdog in their Week one tilt, which makes it fun 280 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.000 to me in my opinion, and it makes it fun 281 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.480 to try to understand how many dynamics of this thing 282 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.960 are completely fluid and confusing and unknown, and then we 283 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:12.480 see how it will play out. Obviously, Texas is in 284 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.919 Columbus for Week one against Ohio State, a massive top 285 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:20.399 three tilt at Ohio Stadium, and a bunch of really 286 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.960 good games right out of the gates. In Week one, 287 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.240 you know, we'll see Bama down at dope Campbell Stadium, 288 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.919 Florida State coming off just an atrocious season, but they're 289 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.480 thought to really have been able to turn around in 290 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.720 the transfer portal. A massive game down in Clemson features 291 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:38.159 LSU and Clemson to top ten teams, and we'll be 292 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:39.879 able to get a look at some of the Big 293 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.080 twelve opponents that Utah has on their schedule and that 294 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.960 the BYU has on their schedule as well. Week one 295 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.000 will wrap up at hard Rock Stadium in Miami with 296 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.279 Notre Dame and the Hurricanes, another matchup featuring two top 297 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:52.879 ten teams. 298 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.159 So college football. 299 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:55.720 Will give you a reward right out of the gates, 300 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.840 you know, kind of wet in the appetite before conference 301 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:02.399 play in Ship Round two is in the books at 302 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:03.559 East Lake in Atlanta. 303 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.039 They had to move up tea times today in. 304 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.960 Order to kind of make up for the inclement weather 305 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:10.000 that they're experiencing. 306 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:11.279 Potentially this afternoon. 307 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.919 The weather forecast in Atlanta, maybe Porter can help us 308 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.519 out with that does not look good over the weekend. 309 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.080 Scotty Scheffler struggled today compared to the field. He did 310 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.000 shoot one under, which we would all love, but his 311 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.240 sixty nine drops in four spots. Scotty is at eight 312 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:29.360 under par. He's five off the pace. Tommy Fleewood had 313 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:31.519 a great day to day seven under par. The best 314 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:36.320 round went to Cameron Young, who was eight under sixty two. 315 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.200 That's the second best round so far, only second to 316 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.960 Russell Henley sixty one in round one. 317 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:43.919 Russell shoots sixty six today. 318 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:46.840 He's also at thirteen under, So it's Tommy Fleewood, Russell 319 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:49.159 Henley thirteen under, Cam Young eleven under. 320 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:50.120 Bob McIntyre. 321 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.559 Patrick can't lay at ten under than their Scottie Scheffler 322 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.759 alone tied for sixth at eight under par. A grip 323 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:59.519 of really good golfers, including Roy McElroy and Justin Thomas 324 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.159 at under. So it should be a fun weekend for 325 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.559 the Tour Championship at Eastlake. Speaking of a fun weekend 326 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:10.000 experience a celebration of cannabis, culture, music and community at 327 00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:13.039 the first annual Canafanfest set in the heart of Salt 328 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.440 Lake City at Granary Live September the twenty seventh, a 329 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.080 one day festival of live musical performances featuring Crooked Kings, 330 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.159 Changing Lanes, Annella Brown and Moore.

It's been sixty five to seventy. 354 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.960 I haven't needed a coat, sorts and a T shirt. 355 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:37.519 I've walked probably over thirty miles in the last two days, 356 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.200 just taking in the sights and hitting all. 357 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:41.759 The necessary places. 358 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.679 It's it's a. 359 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.399 Treat man like. 360 00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.080 I wouldn't want to be here when it's cold and 361 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:50.200 windy and pissing rain, but I am going to take 362 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:51.840 advantage of what I have in front of me, and 363 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:53.679 what I have in front of me is sunny, Dublin. 364 00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:55.000 Gotta love it's. 365 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.519 Over the course of the past forty eight hours, have 366 00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:00.360 you seen the sights? Have you done the tourist thing? 367 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.159 What's because I know you had some boxes you wanted 368 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:03.879 checked over there. 369 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:08.920 Yeah, yeah, I've done a little bit of both, you know. 370 00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:12.240 Obviously part of my assignment here is trying to get 371 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:17.359 the flavor of Americana, basically invading Ireland for forty eight hours, 372 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:20.480 not only do we have this college football game, but 373 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:24.680 WWE SmackDown is also in town, so I went to 374 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:27.720 the Three Arena to check out the folks who are 375 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:29.440 getting ready to go, who are getting ready to go 376 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:30.559 to SmackDown tonight. 377 00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:33.519 It's been a trip man, to say the least. 378 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.759 But yeah, I got to go see Trinity College, which 379 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:37.519 was amazing. 380 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:39.680 Got to see lots of cool churches. 381 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.640 And one fascinating thing about Ireland is they make you 382 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:46.680 pay for everything, and I'm too cheap to pony up 383 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:50.319 twenty to thirty euros to walk into a church. 384 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:53.160 I can see it from the outside. It's old. 385 00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.519 I've seen lots of churches in Europe, but I'm just 386 00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:58.799 at the point in my life where i don't necessarily 387 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.720 have to fork over the money, and it hasn't slowed 388 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.359 me down in that sense. I've been able to just 389 00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:05.319 kind of take some sites in and move on to 390 00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:11.039 the next. But it's a really cool city, really beautiful architecture. 391 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:13.119 They've blended the old and the. 392 00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:14.480 New very very well. 393 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.559 And my hotel is, you know, within walking distance of 394 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:20.880 Aviva Stadium where the game is tomorrow, so I have 395 00:18:20.920 --> 00:18:22.400 no complaints, which is rare. 396 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.039 That is very rare k State is a three point 397 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.759 favorite over Iowa State tomorrow, so two Big twelve teams 398 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.720 both in the top twenty five. Will you be covering 399 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:35.759 the game with a certain angle in mind? 400 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:37.720 Or are you just trying? Are you just trying to 401 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:39.160 kind of see what you know? 402 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.160 The reaction is to the folks over there to college football, 403 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.039 how will you what sort of prism will you be 404 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:46.319 watching that game through tomorrow? 405 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:49.400 Well, I'm going to only react and write in the 406 00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:53.079 prism that can captivate somebody like you, who's my target audience. 407 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:58.119 So it will be breakdown of you know, very key 408 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:03.440 moments of the game, personnel shifts, motions, all the types 409 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:04.240 of things. 410 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:06.000 That we usually we talk about. 411 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:10.640 We are experts at no, I'm definitely making a very 412 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.000 bad joke. No, to me. The fascinating part of this 413 00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:16.799 whole thing, Spence, is how this has become not only 414 00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:20.640 a routine on an annual basis for college football, but 415 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:22.839 it's going to continue and by all accounts, it's been 416 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:28.200 very successful. I think this is the best matchup that 417 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:31.000 they've had since starting this classic a few years ago. 418 00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:33.160 It's a top twenty five matchup they haven't had that, 419 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.079 you know, last year they had Georgia Tech and Florida 420 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:40.000 State that didn't travel very well between the two teams. 421 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.279 It's estimated to be upwards of twenty five thousand fans 422 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:46.039 who are in Dublin between Iowa State and Kansas State. 423 00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:49.480 And I was at the Kansas State PEP rally today 424 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.599 and it was insane, like there are so many people 425 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.839 here from both Kansas State and Iowa State. But yeah, 426 00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:59.480 I mean the prison will be like be paying obviously 427 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:01.599 be paying it tension to a Top twenty five game. 428 00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:04.559 It's one of the oldest rivalries in college sports. I 429 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.880 think it's one hundred and ninth or one hundred and 430 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.920 tenth straight time that they've played played each other, which 431 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:13.680 is like, I think, one of the oldest running rivalries 432 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:17.680 in college football. And just you know, the scenes and 433 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.640 you know, I'm all about the scenes and the vibes, 434 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:23.799 and you know, it is unique here to say the least. 435 00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:26.759 You know, I stopped by an Irish high school football 436 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:29.519 game tonight because they play those here and you can 437 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.279 buy beer and espresso at the games. A little different 438 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:35.680 than covering high school football and draper on a Friday night, 439 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:40.000 but yeah, just kind of the dichotomy of what football 440 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:44.440 represents in the States versus the potential growth overseas is 441 00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:45.960 kind of what I'm looking at at the moment. 442 00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:49.200 Do you know the origin story how this kind of 443 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:51.720 came about? It is a little bit of a random 444 00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:54.920 location for a college football game, and you know, the 445 00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:58.359 nfl CK for a number of years has discussed the 446 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.680 potential of wanting to capture the European audience. And I 447 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:04.319 don't know if there's anything here as far as drawing 448 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.680 a parallel part of it kind of feels similar to 449 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.359 the way folks who believe soccer will catch on over 450 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:13.960 here at some point. And soccer certainly has its footprint, 451 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:18.079 but it will never capture the hearts and imaginations of 452 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.079 as many Americans as football has. And I don't think 453 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:24.480 there's any way that football will ever capture Europeans the 454 00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.799 way that soccer has or football over there. But are 455 00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:30.519 you familiar with the backstory how this game kind of 456 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:32.960 came to be in the spot that you find yourself 457 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:33.440 in today. 458 00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:37.440 Well, if we want to go really far back in time, 459 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.279 the kind of the bedrock of this, the start of 460 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.160 this is when the NFL had its first international game 461 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:46.839 in London, in two thousand and seven. 462 00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:48.400 That was a big swing by the league. 463 00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:51.279 A lot of people didn't think it was a good idea, 464 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:54.799 A lot of people didn't think it would work. And 465 00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:58.319 you know, I think if we're talking about kind of 466 00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:01.240 the one off, meaning like what or twice or even 467 00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:05.079 three times a year from an NFL perspective, it works 468 00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:08.720 and it has worked there. They've played games in Germany, 469 00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.880 They've played games in London, They're playing games for a 470 00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:17.079 second straight year in Brazil starting the season. So the 471 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:22.200 appetite internationally for a minimal amount of football games is there. 472 00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:27.599 From the the air LINGUS College Football Classic as it 473 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:33.000 is known here, Spence Is organizers with air lingas the airline, 474 00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:37.119 and and folks just approached people in the US and said, like, 475 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:40.519 this is a this is an untapped market. It is 476 00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:45.440 a It is a pretty enticing destination vacation spot for 477 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.599 a lot of Americans because of obviously we are we 478 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:53.799 have such a deep Irish you know, culture embedded with 479 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:56.039 you know, with so many I mean, I'm sure you 480 00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.160 have Irish an ancestry. I have Irish ancestry. Pretty much 481 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:02.319 everybody in a most people in America have Irish ancestry, 482 00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:05.400 so it's a very popular tourist spot. So they just 483 00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:08.200 sold it, say like, come on over. And obviously when 484 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.960 Notre Dame was here, that was kind of the you know, 485 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:13.680 the bell of the ball. And frankly, I think they 486 00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:15.960 should try to make Notre Dame like part of you know, 487 00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:19.559 this rotation more often than not, because it just makes sense. 488 00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:23.480 But you know, they approached Kansas State I think it 489 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.480 was sixteen months ago and talked to Chris climb and 490 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:28.680 the head coach, and Jean Taylor, the athletic director, and 491 00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:33.200 said like, would you be interested in giving up not 492 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.519 only a home game, a conference home game, but a 493 00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.440 conference home game against your probably your biggest rival outside 494 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.400 of Kansas and sold them on it, and by all 495 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.920 accounts so far, it's it's been it's been a hit 496 00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:50.359 among the fans that decided to come. And I mean, 497 00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.480 anytime you can sell out a European stadium for any sport, 498 00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:55.880 it's going to be cool. I think tomorrow will be 499 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:00.759 especially unique just because the setup of field. I mean, 500 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.079 it's they're playing to be the stadium which is where 501 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:06.680 you know, Ireland national teams for soccer and rugby play, 502 00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:08.720 so it's a beautiful stadium. It's just up the road 503 00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:12.400 and I think it's going to remind me of like 504 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:15.640 when I was covering the Olympics, like in Brazil. Just 505 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:19.319 I think the vibes there, the setup of stadiums internationally 506 00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:21.839 are a little different, so I'm fascinated to see how 507 00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:22.440 it plays out. 508 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:24.480 Did you pack the sticks? Are you going to play 509 00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:28.000 Royal Port Rush? I mean, Ireland isn't far from the 510 00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:30.720 home of golf, which is Scotland, And as you know, 511 00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:34.880 when the game expanded, it expanded into the UK, including Ireland. 512 00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:37.359 Is did did you have a chance to pack your 513 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.240 your golf clubs and your Antonio Daniel's jersey and your 514 00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:44.279 your farming glove to maybe play some of those courses 515 00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:44.720 over there. 516 00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:47.400 Well, I don't know if you know this, Spence, but 517 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:52.960 there's a big body of water between Ireland and the 518 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:57.079 British Isle, which contains three different countries. So if I 519 00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:59.319 wanted to catch a train, I couldn't. I'd have to 520 00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:03.000 catch a flo to head over to Scotland. Albeit to 521 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:08.319 say I did not pack the sticks, I just I'm 522 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:10.640 not a big fan of these, you know, open courses. 523 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:12.960 I'm more of a I'm more of a tree. 524 00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.759 I feel like I need to be boxed in otherwise 525 00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:19.000 my depth of vision is too wide. I feel like 526 00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:23.200 my typical slice m slice a little harder if I 527 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:26.160 don't have trees blocking my way. I'm just more of 528 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:29.519 kind of an old school you know, Utah golfer as you. 529 00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:32.440 Know, Yeah, no, no, I know plenty of good courses 530 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:34.960 in Ireland, but maybe your next strip over there, you 531 00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:36.079 cannot pack the sticks. 532 00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:38.759 All right, let's let's let's move over here. 533 00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:41.319 So for years and years and years, I certainly have 534 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:43.640 complained about it, and I know other people have too, 535 00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.640 and plenty of people that write for your outlet believe 536 00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:50.880 that scheduling uniformity should be mandate mandated in college football 537 00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:54.039 in the SEC for years has had this odd dynamic 538 00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:57.640 where like Week ten Bama schedules like Troy or something, 539 00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:01.240 and it's like a glorified buy Well, following the announcement 540 00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:03.039 that the CFP Committee is going to use these new 541 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.839 scheduling advanced metrics to decide who's going to gain access 542 00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:09.960 to the CFP, the SEC has announced that they are 543 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.440 going to go with a nine game conference schedule starting 544 00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:15.920 next season. Brett McMurphy is reporting now the ACC is 545 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.240 discussing the same The ACC is now the only P 546 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.039 four conference that doesn't go with nine long overdue. In 547 00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:25.799 my opinion, and I've said this before, I'll say it again, 548 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.039 I believe we're heading in a direction with college football 549 00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:32.839 where most of the cakewalk games that are scheduled, if 550 00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:34.559 not all of them, are going to go away because 551 00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:38.039 TV partners want the best matchups every week. It's certainly 552 00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:40.920 the one thing that college does not have that the 553 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:43.519 NFL does. The NFL every week, even though there are 554 00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:45.559 teams in pro football that are down year to year, 555 00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.279 you're still playing a NFL team. You're not playing like 556 00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:50.519 a USFL team. You're playing a team that's supposed to 557 00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:52.240 be on your level. So what do you make of 558 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:54.559 the SEC's announcement And do you think at some point 559 00:26:54.640 --> 00:27:00.119 we will have some sort of scheduling uniformity in the sport. 560 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.480 Art Yes, I think, because if the SEC did it, 561 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:08.039 everyone else basically has to follow suit. It is a 562 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.240 fascinating kind of turn of events because I think for 563 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:14.680 the longest time, the SEC was fairly adamant that they 564 00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:17.920 did not want to go to nine games for obvious reasons. 565 00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.759 Just because you're talking about the strongest conference in the country. 566 00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:23.640 You don't want. 567 00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:28.279 Your big guys to have a chance to be, you know, 568 00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:32.559 suffer a late season upset and maybe tumble out of 569 00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:36.559 a playoff spot that you covet so highly. 570 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.119 But listen, there's been lots. 571 00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:42.200 Of random college football news in the last you know, 572 00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.319 seventy two hours since I've gone. Apparently the Big Ten 573 00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:49.160 is proposing like a twenty eight team playoff. Now I 574 00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.160 my head, you know, man, I'm just trying to be 575 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:55.680 here in the homeland, just just trying to really sink 576 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.799 my toes into the sand. 577 00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:00.599 But college football fails to out moving. 578 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.920 But which is not I'm not too happy about to say. 579 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:06.559 At least Well, and I talked about this yesterday. You know, 580 00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:11.119 Brian Rolap front of the show. He is now the commissioner. Well, 581 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:14.039 no excuse me. He's the first CEO in history of 582 00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:17.240 the PGA Tour. He spent twenty two years next to 583 00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:21.279 Roder Goodell at the NFL. Most people believed, and maybe 584 00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.440 this will still be the case whenever Goodell has done 585 00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:25.799 most people thought Rolap would be the next commissioner. 586 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.680 B Yu guy, family friend. 587 00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:30.119 So I've been able to get to know him a 588 00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:31.880 little bit and interview him a couple different times. He 589 00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:35.359 is a very impressive leader, and he addressed the media 590 00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:38.359 prior to the Tour championship at East Lake and he 591 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.839 used the word innovation and you know, being innovative like 592 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:46.319 four or five different times discussing his vision to capitalize 593 00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:48.680 on this moment golf has found itself in with all 594 00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:53.759 this attention worldwide, and to juxtapose that with the lack 595 00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:57.599 of foresight, the lack of leadership of college football, college 596 00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:02.319 football just seems to change for change as opposed to innovate. 597 00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:03.240 To improve the product. 598 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.119 And I guess the reality, Chris is that you know 599 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:09.359 the powers of being college football even though no one's 600 00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:11.880 really in charge, which I still believe is the biggest 601 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:14.680 issue on a number of different levels, because all these 602 00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:15.880 conferences can kind of. 603 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:19.160 Just go rogue. But they know they've got the consumer. 604 00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:22.599 They know that college football fans week in and week 605 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:25.440 out are going to tune in and consume the product. 606 00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:26.680 They know they've got us. 607 00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:29.519 And if you add on the layer that over the 608 00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:32.720 past four or five years, the widespread acceptance of sports 609 00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:36.839 betting has even upped the interest level because there's so 610 00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:39.680 many degenerates to take out second mortgages on their home 611 00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.480 to place a bet on you know, Pharma Geddon or 612 00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:46.000 whatever it is. They know they've got everybody, and so 613 00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.000 therefore I don't feel like they really feel urgency to 614 00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:52.319 actually fix the issues that plague the sport. The twenty 615 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:55.759 eight team expanded CFP is like the dumbest thing that 616 00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:58.359 I've heard even thrown out there in years, and they've 617 00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:02.519 thrown out a number of dumb things. It eliminates conference championships, 618 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.680 and it diludes Chris the most in my opinion, appealing 619 00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:10.799 thing about the sport, which is the prescient, urgent nature 620 00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:14.119 of every single game. To me, you have to maintain 621 00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:16.480 that or else you do away with what makes this 622 00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:17.079 sport great. 623 00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:17.839 Does that make sense? 624 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:20.599 Oh, I agree with you wholeheartedly. 625 00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:23.039 I've said on the show often the last couple of 626 00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:25.839 years that it makes no sense for the powers that 627 00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:28.400 be to relinquish any sort of power they currently have 628 00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:33.119 because what you said exactly, the consumer has shown their 629 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:38.559 willingness to adopt and roll with the punches no matter what. Listen, man, 630 00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:41.599 I'm always going to point to that example of that. 631 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:45.079 You know, that massive super League that got proposed in 632 00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.440 Europe a couple of years ago, and whose fans, like 633 00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.119 boycotted the games. It wasn't the little guys, it was 634 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.200 the Manchester United fans. It was the super the fans 635 00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:58.279 of the super clubs that would have benefited from this. 636 00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:02.200 They were the ones that were up in arms. Fandom 637 00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:06.160 doesn't really work like that in the States. So I 638 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.079 think so long as the folks who are at the 639 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:12.240 top will continue to stay at the top, I don't 640 00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:14.480 think that they will have a problem with it no 641 00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:16.680 matter what, so long as they have a chance to 642 00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:21.000 compete for a national title, which has also been part 643 00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:24.200 of the news cycle too, because apparently Auburn decided they've 644 00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:28.200 won seven championships or something too this week. Like listen, man, 645 00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:31.480 I understand that this is a long offseason, but this 646 00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:34.519 week has really really shown us that we just to 647 00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:37.079 get to some games because people are kind of acting out. 648 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:40.440 You know, the other, well, not just the other. 649 00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:43.640 One of the other reasons why college football needs a 650 00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:46.920 governing body with a commissioner is to put in place 651 00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:51.519 a comprehensive media policy that every team needs to follow. 652 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.279 So I continue to compare college football to the NFL 653 00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:57.960 on a number of different levels, because I do believe 654 00:31:57.960 --> 00:31:59.960 we are headed towards a model that looks like that. 655 00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:05.000 In the NFL, fans can attend practices, media can attend 656 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:08.240 every practice. There are player and coach availability after every 657 00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:12.559 single practice. The NFL understands that the media is a 658 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.200 conduit to sell the teams and sell the leagues to 659 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:18.559 the consumer. If you juxtapose it to college football, they 660 00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:21.799 all act like a bunch of scared children, and they're 661 00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:25.559 just terrified at all times, and they want to control 662 00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:31.240 everything they possibly can, and they come across as just 663 00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:34.440 constantly being worried that some bad story is going to 664 00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:38.599 derail everything. I mean, you know, Deshaun Foster is the 665 00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:42.799 latest UCLA head coach and Utah's playing Week one. He's 666 00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.559 cut off access to players and coaches interviews after practice 667 00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:50.559 because he's afraid that these practices, or achieve me, that 668 00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.519 these interviews are going to be leaked to his opponents 669 00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:55.759 and somehow give them an advantage when they play head 670 00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:59.960 to head. Why is it that in college they can't 671 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:02.720 just understand what the pros understand, and that is media 672 00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:06.640 helps sell your program to your consumer, as opposed to 673 00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:11.000 having you know, just this this constant state of fear, 674 00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:14.519 this constant state of being afraid that one interview here 675 00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:16.319 or one video there is going to blow the whole 676 00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:19.440 thing up. If there's a governing body in place, with 677 00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:22.519 a commissioner and an entire staff, they put a media 678 00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.119 policy in place that everybody has to handle until they 679 00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.960 do that, program by program or conference by conference, can 680 00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:33.000 continues to try to exude this monicum of control when 681 00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:35.000 ultimately I think it blows up in their face. 682 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:40.480 Yeah, I mean, listen, man, you're speaking my language. You're 683 00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:45.359 playing at Irish flute across the pond. I'm loving it. Well, 684 00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:50.519 there's so many different layers to this conversation. One I 685 00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.519 think college football coaches would say, because they call them 686 00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:58.119 kids kids in quotation marks, they don't know what they'll 687 00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:00.240 say if they're prepared to say what they say say. 688 00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:02.960 But I don't know what the difference is from a 689 00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:05.960 twenty one year old graduating from college and becoming a 690 00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.840 twenty one year old pro And you know, that's that's 691 00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:11.159 part of the conversation as well, like the same they 692 00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:13.840 stayed pretty much the same age. But the other part 693 00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:16.320 of this and it's just you know, can't be understated enough. 694 00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:19.000 Is that like when you become an NFL player, you 695 00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:23.920 become part of the players union, a union, and negotiating 696 00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:28.599 this type of stuff into union contracts, into these cbas 697 00:34:29.039 --> 00:34:33.039 all this stuff is top of mind for both sides 698 00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:35.400 because they know what they're getting into. And the media 699 00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:37.920 part of this is a huge component of it. But 700 00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:41.199 from the NFL's perspective, they know it makes sense for 701 00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:45.239 them and the players, albeit they don't They don't probably 702 00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:47.519 love having people in their locker room all the time, 703 00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:48.840 but it's. 704 00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:49.519 Just part of the job. 705 00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:54.599 I agree like that we've talked about, there's like this 706 00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:59.199 sense of state secrets that are, you know, at top 707 00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:02.639 of mind every single week come season time. And I 708 00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:06.280 know with the advent of the Big twelve injury report 709 00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:06.960 like that. 710 00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:08.960 As you know, a new wrinkle in this whole thing. 711 00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:09.480 It was funny. 712 00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:13.719 I was at Chris Cleman's press conference yesterday and one 713 00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:16.360 of their beat writers asked him about his thoughts on 714 00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:19.360 the new Big twelve injury report, and he kind of 715 00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:21.880 just laughed and he was like, I know who's out, 716 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:24.840 But he basically said, like Matt Campbell's not going to 717 00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:27.159 go read my injury report to try to get like 718 00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:31.320 some behind the scenes view of you know who may 719 00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:34.599 or may not really tilt the fortunes of the game. 720 00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:39.599 I think it's a good step, but again, everybody is 721 00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:42.519 going to be able to utilize it one way or 722 00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:46.360 the other. I'm going to keep referencing things that have 723 00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:49.519 happened this week, even though my brain is mud. But 724 00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:52.000 Pelly Kyle's not going to release it too deep now 725 00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:54.280 because of the injury report thing too, which. 726 00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:57.239 You know, hey whatever, you know, you got to do 727 00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:57.639 your thing. 728 00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:03.559 But yeah, I mean it, I think it dilutes the excitement, 729 00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:07.639 and I think you just have a huge opportunity to 730 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.800 go out there and basically take control of how you 731 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.519 can have your sport and how your team can be 732 00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:19.480 viewed kind of the way the NFL does. I'm not 733 00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.519 saying like there will be a college football fantasy once, like, 734 00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:26.360 but maybe there will be. I mean, like there who 735 00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:29.639 nobody ever really saw like the changes of college football 736 00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:32.000 coming in the last five years and as swiftly as 737 00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:35.480 they have. But let's just say that there, it isn't 738 00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:37.000 as hard as they make it out to be. 739 00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:38.000 And and if. 740 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:42.760 Everybody just cooled their jets and you know, I don't know, 741 00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:46.519 set masan a little bit, take a breather. 742 00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:48.719 Everybody could realize. 743 00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:52.000 That that you know, it is a game, and you'll 744 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:53.119 be fine no matter what. 745 00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:56.880 The paranoia is. It's pathetic. It's like laughable. Maybe maybe 746 00:36:56.880 --> 00:37:00.559 a cold plunge potentially, maybe a cold plunge maybe. 747 00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:01.760 Oh whim howks breathing? 748 00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:05.559 Yeah, yes, yes, yes, three full rounds, thirty five breaths each, 749 00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:07.719 then you retain and then you release. I do it 750 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:12.320 every morning, all right, Chris? You reference the news cycles 751 00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:14.079 since you joined the show. There's been a couple of 752 00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:16.880 announcements locally that I wanted to get your reaction to. 753 00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:20.440 Let's start down South where young Bear Bachmeyer will be 754 00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:23.920 the first true freshman to start for BYU in their opener, 755 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:27.199 the seventh true freshman to get time under center for 756 00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:30.000 the first to start under center. He did not land 757 00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:33.119 in Provo until mid July. He was at Stanford for 758 00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:35.840 spring ball. And you know, I was asked the other 759 00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:38.320 day like, is this an indictment on the room, And 760 00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:41.119 I said, no, I think it's a compliment to the kid. 761 00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:43.440 And if you listen to a rod he kind of 762 00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:45.880 tipped his hand early on. He was very effusive with 763 00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:47.920 his praise for Bear, But what do you make of 764 00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:50.239 this announcement that a true freshman will be starting for 765 00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:51.519 BYU this year under. 766 00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:55.039 Center, great name, great jersey number. I mean, that's some 767 00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:57.760 like Doug Footie stuff right there. I don't think I 768 00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.719 can ever think of a college quarter back having a 769 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:07.199 number above nineteen and eons. So good on Bear, Listen. 770 00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:12.119 BYU's quarterback situation changed dramatically because of the school that 771 00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:13.639 they're at, and that. 772 00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:15.280 Is the reality, bottom line. 773 00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:18.159 I'm going to continue to beat this drum that like 774 00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:20.440 losing Jake Retzlov. 775 00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:22.679 Is a loss. 776 00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.599 From a leadership perspective because he was so beloved in 777 00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:27.679 the locker room and had so much respect from the 778 00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:31.800 coaching staff. But Jake wasn't exactly like lighting up like 779 00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:35.960 every single team that they played last year. So now 780 00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:40.119 your fortunes do change potentially with a true freshman quarterback 781 00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:42.760 step beingin. But he was a very highly sought after recruit, 782 00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:46.039 and who knows, maybe if all of that stuff with 783 00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:50.519 Troy Taylor doesn't go down at Stanford, maybe Bear decides 784 00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.679 to stay there. You know, Like I think, if there 785 00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:56.400 turns out to be a great quarterback, that's very beneficial 786 00:38:56.440 --> 00:39:00.880 for BYU. I'm it's really too hard to say, like 787 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:03.559 if whether or not it's an indictment on the quarterback room, 788 00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:08.159 because like, we still haven't seen anybody step out there 789 00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:11.039 and play yet. So if Bear goes out there and struggles, 790 00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:13.039 then you know, if you're a BYU fan, you can 791 00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:17.239 hypothetically say, like, why wasn't there somebody more prepared? But 792 00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:20.039 if he goes out there and he handles his own 793 00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:22.639 and he looks ready for the moment, then people won't 794 00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:24.880 even remember that that was even a topic of conversation. 795 00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:27.519 We've known for a while who QB one is for 796 00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:29.920 the utes, we now know who QB two is. And 797 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:33.119 I suppose if there is a silver lining to Cameron 798 00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:36.239 Rising's and ability to stay healthy a year ago, it's 799 00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:38.920 that Utah as a backup quarterback and Isaac Wilson, with 800 00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:42.800 Big twelve experience, seven starts, nine games played. 801 00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:45.440 Bert Ficklin will be the third stringer. 802 00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:45.679 Now. 803 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.159 Coach Beck said it's two way to b whatever that means. 804 00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:52.000 But Isaac is the backup. What are your thoughts on that? 805 00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:54.880 Man? 806 00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:59.519 The phrasing to me is just it's just hilarious. It 807 00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:01.920 makes sense that Isaac is the backup quarterback. 808 00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:07.159 He has clout built with that, with that locker room 809 00:40:07.239 --> 00:40:09.599 with Kyle. I know, it's a brand new coach, offensive 810 00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:14.199 coaching staff pretty much. But obviously Devin Dampier transferred in 811 00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:18.039 with alongside Jason Beck, so that's his guy. You know, 812 00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:21.280 Isaac we talked about this. I remember we were at 813 00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:23.800 the Smiths on Nights South when when when it was 814 00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:25.800 going to be Isaac's turn to start, and so many 815 00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:28.360 people were so epscited, and I said, just kind. 816 00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:29.960 Of pump the brakes a little bit, let's see how 817 00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:30.320 he does. 818 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:33.519 And there were definitely some growing pains, and you know, 819 00:40:33.840 --> 00:40:37.199 I don't think you can put much of any of 820 00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:39.760 that really on an eighteen year old true freshman. Like 821 00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:44.280 Utah failed collectively last year as a team, especially offensively, 822 00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:47.559 it wasn't all on Isaac. So so if you're Isaac, 823 00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:49.519 you know he decided to go into the portal. He 824 00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.239 probably got a lay of the land and figured, you know, 825 00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:55.519 it makes sense for me to come back. Assuming Devin 826 00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:58.159 Dampier has a good year this year, he could potentially 827 00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:01.519 test the NFL draft waters and then Isaac would be 828 00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:05.760 the presumed starter going into twenty twenty six. So We've 829 00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:08.440 been talking about QB two at Utah for I think 830 00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:11.639 way too long, regardless of who the starter is. So 831 00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:14.760 let's see if Devin Dampier can stay healthy so people 832 00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:16.960 can stop worrying about who quarterback two is. 833 00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:20.360 What do you think success looks like for Utah Week one? 834 00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:22.840 At Ucla? They're a six point five point favorite. 835 00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:24.719 Ooh. 836 00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:33.239 Success at Ucla is obviously a win. I wish I 837 00:41:33.239 --> 00:41:38.400 could even venture a guess offensively, but I have no idea. 838 00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:42.440 I guess I'll say Devin Dampier and his jolly room 839 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:46.039 of running backs rush for over two hundred yards and 840 00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:54.960 Utah's defense holds Nico in check and they leave an 841 00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:57.360 old stomping ground that they haven't seen in a few years. 842 00:41:57.400 --> 00:41:59.440 Happy. But it's the first game of the year. 843 00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:01.880 You never know how everybody's going to come out, especially 844 00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:05.519 this Utah offense, which we've talked about. It's way too 845 00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:07.679 early to crown them, like we haven't even seen them 846 00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:10.679 playing a game yet, and who knows, maybe Ucla is 847 00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:13.960 revitalized after a very down year and with you know, 848 00:42:14.079 --> 00:42:17.199 landing Nico, maybe their offense is ready to take a 849 00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:18.239 step forward as well. 850 00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:21.239 So you ever considered getting a neck tattoo. 851 00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:25.000 Actually I have. Yeah, I think you could. 852 00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:25.440 Pull that off. 853 00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:29.360 I think you're one h's not the middle? 854 00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:30.719 Are you right or left handed? 855 00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:33.599 I'm right handed, so i'd probably go left side. 856 00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:35.360 Yeah, so left side if you're right handed. 857 00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:38.079 I was thinking what media members could pull this off, 858 00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:39.280 and really it's only you and I. 859 00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:45.840 You're right. Well, the reason supporter. 860 00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:49.239 No porter could pull it off, especially with the. 861 00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:51.159 Long hair and the cowboy hat. 862 00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:55.039 Yeah, cowboy hat, long haired necktat reporter. But like there's 863 00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:57.960 no way fault could you know, Like there are certain 864 00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:00.079 people that just couldn't pull it off. The reason I 865 00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:04.079 bring it up is DeAndre Yedlin, guest on the program yesterday, 866 00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:07.800 knew right back for RSL. Thirty two years old, so 867 00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:11.559 certainly not in his prime, but really fun interview. Seems 868 00:43:11.599 --> 00:43:15.079 like a really good guy and definitely a very interesting 869 00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:19.199 soccer pedigree. This is a spot that they've been rotating, 870 00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:22.519 like players from Fruit Heights in for a long time 871 00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:25.599 and body Hudalgo is not his way to Montreal, so 872 00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:28.440 they've needed to fill the spot quite frankly since they 873 00:43:28.519 --> 00:43:31.239 jettison Aaron Herrera. But you're the expert here, what do 874 00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:34.719 you make of DeAndre Jedlin here in Utah. 875 00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:37.360 Yeah, big big move for them. I mean, like the 876 00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:44.320 days of Andrew Brody and Body Adalgo are over. They've 877 00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:48.480 they've tried to patch that spot up as quickly as 878 00:43:48.519 --> 00:43:51.199 the air or like they've as badly as possible, but 879 00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:53.000 they haven't been able to. And now I think Nold 880 00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:56.360 has been pretty pretty well served in that role as 881 00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:59.599 a kind of an emergency right back, but his natural 882 00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:03.360 position is playing in the double pivot. And I think 883 00:44:03.639 --> 00:44:06.199 now your your depth start is you know, DeAndre yedvand 884 00:44:06.199 --> 00:44:11.480 one Noel Kallistan two. I think ourselves needed a adult 885 00:44:11.679 --> 00:44:15.159 in the room, so to speak, and I don't think 886 00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:18.519 they have an approven MLS adult that's willing to stand 887 00:44:18.599 --> 00:44:22.519 up and just maybe take a locker room by the 888 00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:24.679 scruff and tell them what's what now? They now they 889 00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:27.760 have landed Rapa Cabral who's been a great leader. You know, 890 00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:30.880 Johnny Russell is an MLS veteran, But you know, I 891 00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:34.679 think DeAndre Yedlin is the type of player who has 892 00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:40.280 both the you know, the domestic league pedigree, that the 893 00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:42.679 national team pedigree and just kind of the type of 894 00:44:42.719 --> 00:44:45.800 personality that that this that the team needs right now, 895 00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:48.519 and uh, you know, woke up to see that they 896 00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:52.639 loaned Don mark Zuk as well, which yikes, man. I mean, 897 00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:58.000 you have to give Kurt and his staff credit because 898 00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:01.000 they realize that the moves they made were not good 899 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:05.320 and they they had to do something and they didn't 900 00:45:05.360 --> 00:45:08.199 sit on their hands the way they did last offseason. So, 901 00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:11.159 you know, I think so many fans thought that mark 902 00:45:11.199 --> 00:45:14.000 Zuk was going to be kind of the second iteration 903 00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:18.639 of Andre Skomez, a highly touted young international winger to 904 00:45:18.719 --> 00:45:22.199 come in and potentially develop and be the next star 905 00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:24.920 sold That did not turn out to be the case. Like, 906 00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:28.440 dude did not have great body language this year. You 907 00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:30.920 could tell that he was probably not too happy being 908 00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:34.119 passed over ad minutes by Xavier Gozo and Johnny Russell, 909 00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:36.440 who they signed off the street. But he's going to 910 00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:38.320 a team that's very good, so if he gets a 911 00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:40.480 chance to play there, maybe he'll look a lot better 912 00:45:40.519 --> 00:45:43.079 than he did at RSL. But he's playing on a 913 00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:45.920 team that probably can win the Supporter Shield and MLS Cup. 914 00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:48.599 So when you go to a team that's full of 915 00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:50.920 really good players, you often can look good too. 916 00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:55.280 I actually think Tom Mark Zuk has a chance to 917 00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:57.920 really look good in that system. You know, there have 918 00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:01.400 been a lot of moments that he's shown his skill, 919 00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:05.400 but it just hasn't been consistent enough. And if we're honest, 920 00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:07.760 you know, as we look back on their decision to 921 00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:10.039 jettison the majority of their attack, it has blown up 922 00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:12.719 right in their face. Now to your point, they've realized 923 00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:14.840 it looks like the Millers are willing to spend a 924 00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:17.679 little cash. So we've got Ruwan Cruz, who we've seen 925 00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:19.800 a couple of different times. You know, Latuni Kid has 926 00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.360 had a couple of appearances, and I'm told they think 927 00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:25.760 DeAndre will play tomorrow. But there are only eight matches left, 928 00:46:26.079 --> 00:46:28.880 and you know, three brand new pieces that will be 929 00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:31.280 part I think of the first choice eleven need to 930 00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:34.400 be integrated quickly. Is this enough time for them to 931 00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:37.280 get across the line, make the playoffs and maybe even 932 00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:37.840 do something? 933 00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:38.360 What do you think? 934 00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:40.079 I don't think so. 935 00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:44.119 I think that the schedule is too tough. You have Minnesota, 936 00:46:44.119 --> 00:46:46.960 who's second in the West. I think on Saturday he 937 00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:50.760 faced LAFC twice. I think you've got a trip to Seattle. 938 00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:55.280 They just haven't shown it, man, Like I you know 939 00:46:56.320 --> 00:47:00.280 things could change, and maybe they cultivate some momentum against 940 00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:05.480 Minnesota on Saturday, But I think you're you're asking too 941 00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:08.199 much of a team to try to rectify the mistakes 942 00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:11.199 of earlier parts of the season on the fly, and 943 00:47:11.239 --> 00:47:13.840 that's just too hard to do with new players. But 944 00:47:14.679 --> 00:47:16.880 you know, MLS is crazy. I know they're they're still 945 00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:19.960 within striking distance of that night spot and I don't 946 00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:23.079 think they'll go into a free fall. But until they 947 00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:26.840 figure out a way to score goals like there, I 948 00:47:26.920 --> 00:47:28.320 just don't think they have a chance. 949 00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:32.360 Have you tried an Irish stew lamb or beef, some 950 00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:33.880 boiled bacon, cabbage? 951 00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:35.599 Have you tried a full Irish breakfast? 952 00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:38.159 Have you tried any of the lovely dishes that you 953 00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:39.679 can sample over there in Dublin? 954 00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:41.079 I have not. 955 00:47:41.559 --> 00:47:41.679 No. 956 00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:45.199 I have to look out for my guts first and foremost. 957 00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:49.000 And you know, well, you well you and you know 958 00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:51.159 you're in a new country. You don't know wh where's 959 00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:55.719 a you know where the next potential stop might be. 960 00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:58.519 You know, public rescue. You got to learn, you got 961 00:47:58.519 --> 00:47:59.920 to learn the lay of the land. So it's all 962 00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:02.800 y'all just got a map things out. Spence like I 963 00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:05.000 have to think. I have to think two or three 964 00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:07.639 hours ahead, so I play it safe. 965 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:09.079 When I'm on the road. Let's just say. 966 00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:12.039 That, what about a pint or two over and no pints? 967 00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:17.199 No pints one or two. I'm also just I'm an 968 00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:19.800 old man, dude, you know this, Like I'm older than you. 969 00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:22.119 I'm older are not close to. 970 00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:26.039 But but you know what I mean. I okay. 971 00:48:26.280 --> 00:48:28.639 So like the fact that it's ten o'clock here and 972 00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:30.800 I'm on the radio with you goes to show how 973 00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:33.880 much I have, you know, a supporter of the Drive 974 00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:37.400 Monday through Friday two to six. But like this is 975 00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:40.400 my bedtime, and yeah, I could be out having a 976 00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:47.400 pint a Guinness and it would probably send me mentally 977 00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:50.920 physically into a space where I don't feel all that 978 00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:52.760 well in the moment. 979 00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:54.440 Or tomorrow and I got to work tomorrow. 980 00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:56.840 You know, I have to prove to the athletic that 981 00:48:56.880 --> 00:48:58.760 there was a good reason why they sent me across 982 00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:02.760 the pond. And maybe maybe we'll see if tomorrow's an 983 00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:05.960 especially good day, maybe after the game we'll strike a 984 00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:09.920 pint somewhere. But it is wild here, man, Like everybody 985 00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:15.480 is slamming beers, like olds, youngs hipsters like and they're 986 00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:17.800 just getting after it and they it doesn't even seem 987 00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:18.440 to face them. 988 00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:21.239 And I'm like, man, good for you. I wish I 989 00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:22.440 could be that person, but I'm not. 990 00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:22.679 Well. 991 00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:24.920 The other thing is, and they start early. I remember 992 00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:27.440 I had a connecting flight to London. I was in 993 00:49:27.599 --> 00:49:30.760 Amsterdam at like seven thirty am, and there were there 994 00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:33.199 were guys in the pub getting getting loose at like 995 00:49:33.280 --> 00:49:35.920 seven thirty am with beers. They start early and they go. 996 00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:39.800 All day, and everybody here just looks like, you know, 997 00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:44.840 I mean, everybody here has been fantastically nice, but you know, 998 00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:47.960 just kind of stereotype like maybe maybe you know, it 999 00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:49.920 looked like they could always be in like a boxing 1000 00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:52.280 position too. They got the haircut, you know, the Connor 1001 00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:56.519 mcgregord going on. So just I just, you know, don't 1002 00:49:56.519 --> 00:49:59.199 want to step on anyone's toes or bump anyone's backpack. 1003 00:49:59.760 --> 00:50:01.119 Just minding my p's and q's. 1004 00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:04.039 What about what's on the when you're flying there, it's 1005 00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:05.480 a long flight, flying home. 1006 00:50:05.639 --> 00:50:08.400 What shows are we watching? What's taking up the time? 1007 00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:14.480 Oh man, just lots of random movies. I watched Ferris 1008 00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:17.880 Bueller for the billionth time. On as one of my 1009 00:50:18.039 --> 00:50:21.079 five five films. On the way over, don't know what, 1010 00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:23.239 don't know what the movie selection will be like on 1011 00:50:23.280 --> 00:50:25.800 the way back. I'm hoping that I'll be tired enough 1012 00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:27.480 that I might be able to sleep. But that's a 1013 00:50:27.480 --> 00:50:30.760 fool's errand because anybody who can sleep on flights is 1014 00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:33.320 an alien, and that includes you or any one of 1015 00:50:33.360 --> 00:50:33.920 your listeners. 1016 00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:34.840 I apologize. 1017 00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:38.599 Actually I envy you because that is a superpower that 1018 00:50:38.639 --> 00:50:39.360 I wish I had. 1019 00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:43.159 I cannot sleep on flights unless I'm heavily medicated. But 1020 00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:45.039 then I land and I'm like, you have zombie for 1021 00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:48.360 two days.

I think we're ready to hit another 1073 00:52:44.639 --> 00:52:51.239 color jersey besides our own. So you know, going into it, 1074 00:52:51.280 --> 00:52:53.679 we had our question marks on defense. You know, the 1075 00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:56.480 detackle spot was a question mark. Corner spot depth there 1076 00:52:56.599 --> 00:52:58.320 was a question mark, and I think we've done a 1077 00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:01.599 pretty good job of slidifying who's gonna help us and 1078 00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:04.000 feel pretty good about the depth we have there. 1079 00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:07.039 So let's start there. How is that d tackle spot coming? 1080 00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:09.760 Obviously a big loss for Keanu, he's down at b YU. 1081 00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:12.239 So how is that a defensive line shaping up? 1082 00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:13.719 Morgan good? 1083 00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:15.400 We needed a couple of things to happen. We need 1084 00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:20.159 Dallas Bakalahi to progress, take on a leadership role, kind 1085 00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:22.679 of own that position group Aliki Vi Mahi, the two 1086 00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:27.119 vets that have returned. We needed jonahle A to put 1087 00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:30.000 on some pounds. This is a guy that we've tried 1088 00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:36.639 to to groom and develop and he's finally there. I'm 1089 00:53:36.679 --> 00:53:40.960 really excited about him and his athleticism now that he 1090 00:53:41.039 --> 00:53:43.880 has the strength and the weight on uh and then 1091 00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:48.400 the freshman are kind of man a pleasant surprise to 1092 00:53:48.480 --> 00:53:53.679 have these guys step up. Popu Cepalona, Carson Kafusi, Semi Talga, 1093 00:53:54.960 --> 00:54:00.679 you got Dylan Battle and Sioni Motawaka. All those guys 1094 00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:03.760 you know could be ready for us to play year one. 1095 00:54:03.840 --> 00:54:06.599 Now only you know a couple probably will will need 1096 00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:10.960 to use. But you know, how this deal goes, anything 1097 00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:14.119 can happen. Injuries are part of the game, and you've 1098 00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:16.119 got to have some depth, yeap. 1099 00:54:16.280 --> 00:54:18.559 Unfortunately, we've all learned that lesson the hard way over 1100 00:54:18.599 --> 00:54:21.119 the past couple of seasons, no doubt, and look, everybody 1101 00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:22.760 says football is a contact sport. 1102 00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:23.199 No it's not. 1103 00:54:23.280 --> 00:54:26.239 It's a violent sport and no team stays healthy all 1104 00:54:26.320 --> 00:54:29.760 year long. I suppose you know we all say the 1105 00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:32.000 same thing. We don't worry about your defense with you 1106 00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:34.480 and coach, with your track record, and the standard is 1107 00:54:34.480 --> 00:54:37.639 the standard. But as far as that second cornerback spot, 1108 00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:40.760 you know, cam Calhoun's a Crimson tide. How's that coming along? 1109 00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:41.760 What's that room looking like? 1110 00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:43.880 Very good? 1111 00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:47.639 Had some good transfers come in, a couple that joined 1112 00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:50.199 us early for spring, and then a couple that we've 1113 00:54:50.519 --> 00:54:53.880 we've added late in the mix. Scooby Davis is a 1114 00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:57.719 lot like Jonahlaa was, although Scooby probably got more time 1115 00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:00.559 than Jonah in terms of the development needed to put 1116 00:55:00.880 --> 00:55:04.760 have him put on more weight, become stronger, be more durable, 1117 00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:08.320 and he's going to be a starter for us. So 1118 00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:14.480 excited for him. Smith Snowden has only gotten better, has 1119 00:55:14.559 --> 00:55:18.599 added the outside element of his game, playing outside corner 1120 00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:23.559 as well as having played inside corner for us. And 1121 00:55:23.599 --> 00:55:26.440 then you take a look at Donovan Saunders who transfer 1122 00:55:26.480 --> 00:55:29.679 from A and m Blake Cotton. These are names that 1123 00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:35.599 are going to help us tremendously. Jeremiah Caldwell so a 1124 00:55:35.639 --> 00:55:40.000 couple others that still need some development. But I feel 1125 00:55:40.079 --> 00:55:44.360 much better really going into this season than I did 1126 00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:46.400 last season about the corner position. 1127 00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:49.760 So since we have already talked about the depth outside 1128 00:55:49.760 --> 00:55:51.679 of the front line, guys, and you've discussed some of 1129 00:55:51.679 --> 00:55:55.000 the names. I mean, do you feel confident that? And look, 1130 00:55:55.119 --> 00:55:57.480 I'm knocking on wood because none of us want injuries. 1131 00:55:57.519 --> 00:55:58.320 But it's just part of the. 1132 00:55:58.280 --> 00:56:00.199 Deal man, As you know, do you feel like you 1133 00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:02.920 can weather that storm should it come your way on 1134 00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:03.880 your side of the football? 1135 00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:07.000 Oh? Brother, I didn't even want to talk about it, 1136 00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:12.280 but yeah, that's again you. Big part of springball is development, 1137 00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:15.320 big part of fall camp is solidifying who's going to 1138 00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:18.280 be a part of that travel group. Another guy didn't 1139 00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:22.480 mention is Jackson Benny, who came on and had an 1140 00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:25.760 unbelievable off season. He was big contributed on special needs. 1141 00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:27.920 But this is a guy that you know, a lot 1142 00:56:27.960 --> 00:56:29.400 of yout fans are going to be fired up about 1143 00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:32.079 because he's going to be making plays. So add him 1144 00:56:32.079 --> 00:56:34.519 to the to the mix. His versatility can play safety, 1145 00:56:34.519 --> 00:56:38.480 he can play nickel, rabbit, Evans can play nickel, he 1146 00:56:38.519 --> 00:56:41.599 can play strong safety, tail can go down and play corners. 1147 00:56:41.679 --> 00:56:46.159 So really that's what you're looking for. Or when guys 1148 00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:49.239 go down, because it'll happen. Do you have the versatility 1149 00:56:49.840 --> 00:56:51.920 to put the best eleven on the field or are 1150 00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:54.440 you short changing, you know by putting a guy that 1151 00:56:54.519 --> 00:56:56.920 may not be in as ready. He just knows the 1152 00:56:56.960 --> 00:57:00.920 position better. But we'd rather go with our best eleven. 1153 00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:04.199 U c l a an interesting opener at the Rose Bowl. 1154 00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:07.159 It's a new quarterback, it's a new coordinator as well 1155 00:57:07.159 --> 00:57:09.639 as Tino, sincere's the offensive coordinator. I don't know how 1156 00:57:09.719 --> 00:57:11.880 much I would imagine we're about to launch. 1157 00:57:11.639 --> 00:57:13.079 In a very specific game prep. 1158 00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:16.239 But I'm sure you've been, you know, operating fall camp 1159 00:57:16.239 --> 00:57:18.639 with one eye on the Bruins. I've been asking all 1160 00:57:18.639 --> 00:57:21.320 of the guests this, Morgan, I'll ask you, what does 1161 00:57:21.360 --> 00:57:22.239 success look like. 1162 00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:22.880 For you game one? 1163 00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:25.000 When you're on that plane flying home from from the 1164 00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:26.920 Rose Bowl. What will success feel like to you? 1165 00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:30.719 Just being playing to our culture, you know, running to 1166 00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:35.960 the football, playing with good fundamental technique, playing situationally smart football. 1167 00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:38.119 I mean, obviously there's going to be mistakes that are made. 1168 00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:42.119 A lot of the big plays that we make on 1169 00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:44.199 the defensive side the ball really have to do with 1170 00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:47.719 relentless effort guys running to the football and playing with 1171 00:57:47.760 --> 00:57:51.079 some physicality. So you know, that's kind of been our 1172 00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:54.920 calling card. And if we play to our culture, to me, 1173 00:57:56.360 --> 00:57:58.599 I can deal with the other stuff. But we have to, 1174 00:57:58.760 --> 00:58:00.880 you know, play physical, smart football. 1175 00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:04.199 Tell me what you've learned about the Bruins. What makes 1176 00:58:04.239 --> 00:58:06.159 them dangerous? You know, they're they're in the midst of 1177 00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:08.199 I'll just call it a pivot. With a new coaching 1178 00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:09.760 staff a couple of years ago, and like I said, 1179 00:58:09.760 --> 00:58:13.159 a new offensive coordinator, really good talented quarterback, a big 1180 00:58:13.199 --> 00:58:15.199 news out of the Tennessee transfer situation. 1181 00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:16.880 What do you know about UCLA as of now? 1182 00:58:18.159 --> 00:58:21.719 Well, obviously I did not. I mean I knew of 1183 00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:24.159 the quarterback. I didn't know much about his game. So 1184 00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:26.639 after you know, watching a ton of film on him, 1185 00:58:26.760 --> 00:58:30.440 very impressed, very impressed, not only with his ability to 1186 00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:33.159 spin it, but when he runs the ball, he's not 1187 00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:36.840 he's not soft, and he's not a guy that looks 1188 00:58:36.840 --> 00:58:42.519 to go down. He's tough. He's tough minded. So they 1189 00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:47.320 got a good one in Nikoso. The receiving core that 1190 00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:49.840 they have there includes Mikey Matthews, who we know as 1191 00:58:49.840 --> 00:58:53.639 a slot receiver coming from US to cal and now 1192 00:58:53.719 --> 00:58:56.400 UCLA has and they've got a couple of other wide 1193 00:58:56.400 --> 00:59:00.159 receiving threats that are really good. You know, the O 1194 00:59:00.360 --> 00:59:04.039 line is going to be, in my opinion, their work 1195 00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:05.960 in progress. You know, you take a look at our 1196 00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:08.800 d line, it's our work in progress. That's offensive line 1197 00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:10.880 is going to be their work in progress. But the 1198 00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:15.360 quarterback and skill players, including the running back transfer from 1199 00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:18.400 Caw who's a dynamic kid as well, that's going to 1200 00:59:18.440 --> 00:59:19.400 be the strength of their offense. 1201 00:59:19.440 --> 00:59:22.519 In my opinion, this last week, when Devin Dampier said, Hey, 1202 00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:24.639 sometimes I have eight seconds in the pocket, my first 1203 00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:27.840 thought was, well, that's not going to make Morgan happy. Obviously, 1204 00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:31.679 you guys were an average offense away a year ago 1205 00:59:31.719 --> 00:59:34.480 from competing for the Big twelve championship. Tell me from 1206 00:59:34.559 --> 00:59:38.000 your advantage point, this new revamped offense under Jason Beck 1207 00:59:38.039 --> 00:59:40.079 with Devin under center, how's it looking to you? 1208 00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:40.440 Morgan? 1209 00:59:41.920 --> 00:59:44.400 I'm excited to watch him, excited to watch him work. 1210 00:59:45.039 --> 00:59:47.719 The offensive line obviously, is the huge strength the skilled 1211 00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:53.039 players that we've brought in Devin's leadership. You know, let's 1212 00:59:53.039 --> 00:59:55.079 be honest, he's got eight seconds because we can't touch 1213 00:59:55.119 --> 00:59:58.199 the quarterback. It's not like we can sit there and 1214 00:59:58.199 --> 01:00:03.119 get after him and practice. But no, he is so competitive. 1215 01:00:03.159 --> 01:00:06.880 That's what I love about him, is that competitive drive. 1216 01:00:07.760 --> 01:00:11.599 And he's not over confident, he's not cocky. He comes 1217 01:00:11.599 --> 01:00:15.239 to work every single day, and he earns that right 1218 01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:20.639 to be confident. So add to that the schematic elements 1219 01:00:20.679 --> 01:00:23.719 that I love, the shifts and motions, the formation into 1220 01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:26.960 the boundary, the Q run game, all the different things 1221 01:00:27.039 --> 01:00:31.079 that Jason's doing. Really excited to watch these guys work. 1222 01:00:31.199 --> 01:00:32.599 All right before I set you loose. 1223 01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:35.599 You know, ultimately the past couple of years, as a 1224 01:00:35.639 --> 01:00:38.719 result of lack of health, has not been what we're 1225 01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:41.599 used to. Because you and Coach Wade and you know 1226 01:00:41.639 --> 01:00:43.840 the coaches up there, you've set a standard that I 1227 01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:47.360 know you guys take seriously. What gives you the most confidence. 1228 01:00:47.400 --> 01:00:49.320 You do not have the target on your back that 1229 01:00:49.360 --> 01:00:51.639 you did a year ago. As far as everyone expecting 1230 01:00:51.639 --> 01:00:53.440 you to win the thing, I think most people believe 1231 01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:55.960 you're going to be good. I certainly do what gives 1232 01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:58.280 you the most confidence that this year will look different 1233 01:00:58.280 --> 01:00:59.400 than you're one of the big twelve. 1234 01:00:59.400 --> 01:01:06.159 Moran, Well, I don't. I go to work looking to 1235 01:01:06.199 --> 01:01:10.039 win one game, brother, And I'm dan like, I'm dead 1236 01:01:10.079 --> 01:01:13.039 serious with this. I think you do yourself such a 1237 01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:17.599 disservice going looking beyond I Obviously you want to know 1238 01:01:17.639 --> 01:01:19.679 that you're going to be competitive and know that you've 1239 01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:22.039 got the right pieces to be competitive. I feel like 1240 01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:25.760 that's the case here with both offense and defense. I 1241 01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:28.679 feel like we've got the right personnel. We just got 1242 01:01:28.719 --> 01:01:33.199 to do a great job of, you know, playing smart football, 1243 01:01:33.519 --> 01:01:36.880 and it is going to require some luck, man. I 1244 01:01:36.880 --> 01:01:42.320 mean the years that we won the championships, our guy 1245 01:01:42.400 --> 01:01:45.840 stayed healthy for the most part. And you look at 1246 01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:48.360 the two thousand and four Fiesta Boll team that I played, 1247 01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:51.239 starting eleven at the beginning of the season. We're starting 1248 01:01:51.239 --> 01:01:53.039 eleven the end of the season on the defensive side 1249 01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:54.840 of the ball and primarily on the offensive side of 1250 01:01:54.840 --> 01:01:58.719 the ball as well, so the Sugar Bowl year. So 1251 01:01:59.559 --> 01:02:03.679 it does take a little bit of luck. But you 1252 01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:05.639 also have to be smart the way you practice and 1253 01:02:05.679 --> 01:02:09.639 compete against each other, and we've definitely done that this 1254 01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:14.320 fall camp and heading into the season. So just excited 1255 01:02:14.320 --> 01:02:16.440 for game one, dude, and not looking beyond that. 1256 01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:17.639 Well played. 1257 01:02:17.920 --> 01:02:20.000 I'm looking at my inbox and do I need to 1258 01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:22.320 resend you my cell phone? I mean, one invite to 1259 01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:24.519 play some golf during the off season. I don't think 1260 01:02:24.599 --> 01:02:26.199 is too much to ask for somebody I've known for 1261 01:02:26.199 --> 01:02:28.039 like twenty five years. Do you do you do you 1262 01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:29.480 need me to resend you myself. 1263 01:02:29.519 --> 01:02:33.679 Morgandy, listen, trust me, you're not the only one that 1264 01:02:33.840 --> 01:02:36.800 has not been playing golf. I've been able to play 1265 01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:41.840 primarily with one guy, and that's Shereefshaw, and you know, 1266 01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:44.119 a couple of rounds here or there, but ultimately, my 1267 01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:47.199 summer was with my family. I got a daughter that 1268 01:02:47.320 --> 01:02:50.880 graduated and we went on some vacations. But we need 1269 01:02:50.920 --> 01:02:52.760 we do need to get together, brother, we do need 1270 01:02:52.840 --> 01:02:56.239 to get together. You take care of that voice box, okay, 1271 01:02:56.639 --> 01:02:59.639 and during the off season we'll make sure something happens. 1272 01:02:59.719 --> 01:03:01.679 Yes, thanks for the time, man, best of luck a 1273 01:03:01.719 --> 01:03:02.719 week one and all year long. 1274 01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:04.800 Okay, all right, brother, yeah, all right. 1275 01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:07.760 Morgan Scalley, defensive coordinator for the University of Utah. We 1276 01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:09.960 are eight days away from kick The Utes will be 1277 01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:12.480 at the Rose Bowl to take on UCLA. They remain 1278 01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:15.079 an eight or excuse me, a six point five point 1279 01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:17.400 favorite in Vegas. Don't forget that game. We'll kick off 1280 01:03:17.400 --> 01:03:20.800 at nine o'clock Mountain time. Television coverage is on Fox, 1281 01:03:20.880 --> 01:03:22.639 and of course the radio coverage is right here on 1282 01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:25.039 your home of the Utes, ESPN seven hundred. 1283 01:03:25.559 --> 01:03:26.760 We are one day away from. 1284 01:03:26.719 --> 01:03:29.159 College football We'll get back to some college football in the. 1285 01:03:29.079 --> 01:03:29.880 Five o'clock hour. 1286 01:03:30.000 --> 01:03:34.400 Chris Tom Roadnie is live in Dublin, Dublin, Ireland, Farmageddon 1287 01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:37.199 case State. Iowas Day tomorrow, less than two weeks away 1288 01:03:37.239 --> 01:03:40.880 from the NFL. But the Tour Championship is going on 1289 01:03:41.000 --> 01:03:44.000 in east Lake. They had to I guess I should 1290 01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:46.719 say at East Lake in Atlanta. They had to push 1291 01:03:46.800 --> 01:03:49.719 up tea times today for some inclement weather. This afternoon 1292 01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:53.000 home of Bobby Jones, O ex guest joins us on 1293 01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:55.400 a weekly basis to talk about the world of golf. 1294 01:03:55.440 --> 01:03:59.599 My buddy Paul Pugmyer on a Friday afternoon. Paul, Happy Friday, sir, 1295 01:03:59.599 --> 01:03:59.880 how are. 1296 01:03:59.840 --> 01:04:03.079 You doing great, Spence, how are you doing? 1297 01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:06.159 I'm good, I'm good. I have to start with a confession. 1298 01:04:06.239 --> 01:04:07.760 You're going to be mad at me. Are you ready? 1299 01:04:09.119 --> 01:04:09.679 Yes? 1300 01:04:10.280 --> 01:04:13.400 Last weekends I went to visit my brother and his 1301 01:04:13.440 --> 01:04:16.159 wife and their six children, a lovely family. Had a 1302 01:04:16.199 --> 01:04:20.199 great time in Indianapolis, and as I landed, he said, Hey, 1303 01:04:20.480 --> 01:04:21.719 I've got a surprise for you. 1304 01:04:22.320 --> 01:04:23.000 I said, what's that? 1305 01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:26.760 He said, Well, Live Golf is here and Scott O'Neill, 1306 01:04:26.880 --> 01:04:30.239 who's the CEO, and the commissioner of Live Golf back 1307 01:04:30.239 --> 01:04:32.639 in the day, worked in Madison Square Garden. He is 1308 01:04:32.719 --> 01:04:35.679 a BYU guy, a member of the Olds Church. My 1309 01:04:35.800 --> 01:04:38.920 family knows him very well, and so Scott was able 1310 01:04:38.920 --> 01:04:41.960 to get us some passes to go to the Live 1311 01:04:42.039 --> 01:04:45.960 Golf event in Indianapolis, which I did and I even 1312 01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:47.239 had a decent time. 1313 01:04:47.280 --> 01:04:48.239 Paul, do you forgive me? 1314 01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:52.639 Oh, no forgiveness needed. I went to a Live event 1315 01:04:52.719 --> 01:04:55.480 when they were in Las Vegas last year and they 1316 01:04:55.519 --> 01:04:58.199 treated me really well and it was a good time 1317 01:04:58.239 --> 01:05:01.239 and really instruct us. I still don't think it's a 1318 01:05:01.320 --> 01:05:05.079 championship model, but it's a good time and you do 1319 01:05:05.199 --> 01:05:08.760 get to see some really amazing golfers. I mean, some 1320 01:05:08.840 --> 01:05:12.119 of the world's best are live. I'm glad you got 1321 01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:14.360 to do it. And let me just say here, isn't 1322 01:05:14.360 --> 01:05:18.000 it cool that both Scott O'Neil with Live and Brian 1323 01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:20.480 Rolap with the PJ Tour, a couple of by you 1324 01:05:20.599 --> 01:05:22.960 guys running those two tours. That's really cool. 1325 01:05:23.039 --> 01:05:25.480 Well, here's the other thing, Paul, they know each other 1326 01:05:25.800 --> 01:05:29.400 and like they have a lot of mutual friends. So look, 1327 01:05:29.480 --> 01:05:32.400 I know it's going to take a minor miracle at 1328 01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:34.599 this point with Live being established the way that it 1329 01:05:34.679 --> 01:05:38.440 is to bridge some sort of gap. But at least 1330 01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:41.159 you know Jay Monahan and you know the powers that 1331 01:05:41.239 --> 01:05:43.199 be a Live Greg Norman. They didn't even want to 1332 01:05:43.199 --> 01:05:46.400 be in the same room. Brian and Scott are friendly. 1333 01:05:46.559 --> 01:05:49.039 They know each other. I don't know if that means 1334 01:05:49.039 --> 01:05:51.199 that there's a deal on the horizon, but at least 1335 01:05:51.280 --> 01:05:53.079 we have two guys in charge of these tours that 1336 01:05:53.119 --> 01:05:55.599 are familiar with each other's That can't be a bad thing. 1337 01:05:56.760 --> 01:05:59.159 It's got to be a good thing. I completely agree 1338 01:05:59.159 --> 01:06:01.880 with you. I think Monahan made a mistake and not 1339 01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:04.920 taking the call back when all this was first happening, 1340 01:06:05.559 --> 01:06:10.760 but you know he doesn't consult with me. But I 1341 01:06:10.800 --> 01:06:12.880 agree with you completely. It's got to be nothing but 1342 01:06:13.039 --> 01:06:16.039 good that rol App and O'Neill can sit down and 1343 01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:18.039 have an adult conversation. 1344 01:06:17.920 --> 01:06:19.079 While we're in this space. 1345 01:06:19.440 --> 01:06:22.360 We had the first opportunity to hear from Brian Rolap, 1346 01:06:22.440 --> 01:06:24.880 the new CEO of the PGA Tour, prior to the 1347 01:06:24.920 --> 01:06:27.880 start of the Tour Championship. I mean, he's given some 1348 01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:30.840 other interviews, like we had Rex Haggard on yesterday and 1349 01:06:30.880 --> 01:06:32.760 Rex was able to catch up with him right after 1350 01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:35.239 he kind of took the job. He's only been on 1351 01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:38.360 the job three weeks. But this is a dynamic, sharp, 1352 01:06:38.599 --> 01:06:42.920 bright guy who is the mastermind behind the bevy of 1353 01:06:43.159 --> 01:06:46.599 revenue streams created by the NFL with their live television deals, 1354 01:06:46.639 --> 01:06:50.599 streaming and otherwise. And he said, among other things, quote, 1355 01:06:50.599 --> 01:06:54.039 the goal is not incremental change. The goal is significant change. 1356 01:06:54.639 --> 01:06:57.360 And I do think that makes certain people nervous who 1357 01:06:57.599 --> 01:07:01.320 love the history and the degree of the PGA Tour 1358 01:07:01.440 --> 01:07:03.920 and things that make the tour special as opposed to 1359 01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:07.119 things that maybe might be changed. It might make some 1360 01:07:07.159 --> 01:07:09.280 people uncomfortable, but the fact of the matter is Paul 1361 01:07:09.320 --> 01:07:11.320 Golf has a moment right now that it has to 1362 01:07:11.360 --> 01:07:14.880 capitalize on a moment that it may have never had 1363 01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:17.039 quite frankly in the history of the sport. With all 1364 01:07:17.119 --> 01:07:21.039 the interest worldwide, I mean, you know, we've already talked 1365 01:07:21.039 --> 01:07:23.880 about my complaints of six hour rounds and inabilities to 1366 01:07:23.880 --> 01:07:27.440 get tea time sore locally, but look, ultimately, this type 1367 01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:29.480 of attention can only be good for the sport. What 1368 01:07:29.599 --> 01:07:32.239 did you make after listening to what Brian Rollop had 1369 01:07:32.280 --> 01:07:34.679 to say to the media contingent at East Lake. 1370 01:07:36.760 --> 01:07:38.840 A couple things jumped down at me, and all the 1371 01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:41.719 points you make are really good points and really good observations. 1372 01:07:42.280 --> 01:07:44.199 The thing that jumped to me the hardest is that 1373 01:07:44.239 --> 01:07:48.119 this is a man who is comfortable and confident saying 1374 01:07:48.360 --> 01:07:53.280 I don't know. And that's a rare quality in a 1375 01:07:53.360 --> 01:07:56.679 leader and in a person that people are looking to. 1376 01:07:56.920 --> 01:07:58.880 And there's a whole bunch of cameras in his face, 1377 01:07:59.639 --> 01:08:03.079 but he was willing to say on different topics, I 1378 01:08:03.159 --> 01:08:06.440 don't know. This is not my area of expertise, I'm 1379 01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:09.239 learning about it, or other people are going to take 1380 01:08:09.320 --> 01:08:12.800 that particular point and run with it. I was impressed 1381 01:08:12.840 --> 01:08:16.079 with that, and one of the effects that that has 1382 01:08:16.399 --> 01:08:18.239 is Bill there are several First of all, it makes 1383 01:08:18.279 --> 01:08:20.239 you trust them more when he says I do know, 1384 01:08:21.159 --> 01:08:24.319 and when he says I do know, it makes you 1385 01:08:24.399 --> 01:08:27.600 really want to stop and listen because you're thinking, Okay, 1386 01:08:27.800 --> 01:08:30.199 this is what this guy is expert on. I'm going 1387 01:08:30.279 --> 01:08:32.479 to listen to what he has to say. I was 1388 01:08:32.600 --> 01:08:37.880 very impressed with his presentation as a leader, as an executive. 1389 01:08:37.880 --> 01:08:40.720 I was very impressed with the way he handled the 1390 01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:44.279 questions that were being thrown at him, and I was 1391 01:08:44.319 --> 01:08:46.680 impressed with the content he says, we're going to be 1392 01:08:46.720 --> 01:08:50.199 making big change. Yeah, you're right. Now is the moment. 1393 01:08:50.319 --> 01:08:52.600 It might be an Arnold Palmer moment or a Tiger 1394 01:08:52.640 --> 01:08:56.800 Woods moment, but it's a moment, and this is a 1395 01:08:57.039 --> 01:09:01.039 chance to really build things right for the future. And 1396 01:09:01.760 --> 01:09:03.640 I think this is a guy who is willing to 1397 01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:06.640 make hard decisions and make things right for the future. 1398 01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:08.119 I'm excited. 1399 01:09:08.279 --> 01:09:12.199 He's also announced the formation of a championship committee led 1400 01:09:12.239 --> 01:09:16.039 by somebody named Eldrick. Tiger Woods will serve as the 1401 01:09:16.159 --> 01:09:20.279 chairman of the future com committee. The other names some 1402 01:09:20.359 --> 01:09:23.239 caught me off guard. I mean Patrick Cantley, Adam Scott, 1403 01:09:23.520 --> 01:09:27.479 Camillo Vijagas, and then Maverick McNeely and Keith Mitchell. I'm 1404 01:09:27.479 --> 01:09:29.560 not trying to be disrespectful. I was just kind of 1405 01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:32.479 surprised that those were the names on the list. They're 1406 01:09:32.479 --> 01:09:35.439 going to bring in the former energy chairman from Valero, 1407 01:09:35.920 --> 01:09:39.159 Joe Gordon, John Henry, who's the principal owner of the 1408 01:09:39.159 --> 01:09:42.319 Fenway Sports Group, and then theo Epstein, who is the 1409 01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:44.800 man behind the resurgence of both the Red Sox and 1410 01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:47.520 the Cubs. So I wonder what you make of that 1411 01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:50.319 that list of names. The Competition Committee that will be 1412 01:09:50.479 --> 01:09:52.640 kind of in charge of in acting some of this change. 1413 01:09:53.840 --> 01:09:57.520 I want to start with the book INDs of the 1414 01:09:57.600 --> 01:10:00.680 list you just gave of tiger Woods and the Epstein, 1415 01:10:01.119 --> 01:10:03.239 and then I'm going to come back to Maverick McNeely. 1416 01:10:03.279 --> 01:10:05.479 I think these are the three most important voices in 1417 01:10:05.520 --> 01:10:09.439 the room. Tiger Woods because he is tiger Woods and 1418 01:10:09.439 --> 01:10:13.079 no one else's tiger Woods. It's all self evidence. Nobody 1419 01:10:13.560 --> 01:10:17.239 will command attention to the degree of tiger Woods, which 1420 01:10:17.279 --> 01:10:21.319 means that when he has something to say, the entire 1421 01:10:21.560 --> 01:10:25.239 ecosystem of golf will stop and listen to what he 1422 01:10:25.319 --> 01:10:29.119 has to say. That's vital theo Epstein for the reasons 1423 01:10:29.159 --> 01:10:33.840 you just summarized, this is a man who has twice, 1424 01:10:34.079 --> 01:10:36.399 not just once. Either the Red Sox or the Cubs 1425 01:10:36.439 --> 01:10:39.039 would have been a career defining achievement, but he did 1426 01:10:39.079 --> 01:10:43.640 it twice, and he redefined cultures and changed the arc 1427 01:10:43.840 --> 01:10:48.199 of entire organizations in a successful way. This is a 1428 01:10:48.239 --> 01:10:53.479 guy who has an undeniable top level experience of taking 1429 01:10:53.560 --> 01:10:57.239 things and turning them around and making them better. And 1430 01:10:57.279 --> 01:11:00.720 now there's just flat a winning culture both in and 1431 01:11:01.760 --> 01:11:06.720 on the North Shore. And so then let's go to 1432 01:11:06.760 --> 01:11:11.159 Maverick McNeely. McNeely, of course, is the son of Scott McNeely, 1433 01:11:11.279 --> 01:11:16.479 who is Son Microsystems, and he was raised in that environment, 1434 01:11:16.560 --> 01:11:20.840 raised in that house. He is a graduate of Stanford. 1435 01:11:20.920 --> 01:11:25.720 But Maverick is developing his own reputation, not based on 1436 01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:30.640 his father, on his own ability to analyze data. And 1437 01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:33.920 I think that that really really will matter because you've 1438 01:11:33.920 --> 01:11:37.720 got somebody who is really good at analyzing data, but 1439 01:11:37.800 --> 01:11:41.319 he also is walking inside the ropes every day, including 1440 01:11:41.359 --> 01:11:44.079 this week. He made the field of the Tour Championship, 1441 01:11:44.640 --> 01:11:48.079 and I think Maverick McNeely will be a really important 1442 01:11:48.159 --> 01:11:49.159 voice going forward. 1443 01:11:49.279 --> 01:11:52.920 Oh, good context. I didn't know that. I had no idea, 1444 01:11:53.000 --> 01:11:55.399 So that makes a lot more sense because it felt 1445 01:11:55.439 --> 01:11:59.279 a little bit random without understanding that context. All right, Paul, 1446 01:11:59.359 --> 01:12:01.840 before we get to the Tour Championship, before we get 1447 01:12:01.840 --> 01:12:05.640 to the local golf scene, a couple of other topics. 1448 01:12:05.720 --> 01:12:08.119 I wanted to kick the tires with you about since 1449 01:12:08.119 --> 01:12:10.600 you and I last spoke. You know, Scotty Scheffler won 1450 01:12:10.640 --> 01:12:14.439 a tournament because Scotti Schefer wins tournaments, and look in 1451 01:12:14.520 --> 01:12:17.399 the tournament exactly exactly, and you know, as I said, 1452 01:12:17.439 --> 01:12:21.319 Rex joined me yesterday, and I know that we get well, 1453 01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:23.239 I should say, I know I get pushed back when 1454 01:12:23.239 --> 01:12:25.600 I do the Scotty is Tiger thing, But it does 1455 01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:28.039 kind of feel like there's just this thing going on 1456 01:12:28.119 --> 01:12:30.640 with him that we haven't seen maybe since Tiger. And 1457 01:12:30.680 --> 01:12:32.479 then every time I say that, I see a stat 1458 01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:35.600 pop up that just cracks me up. So Scotty became 1459 01:12:35.880 --> 01:12:38.840 the first player since Tiger to have back to back 1460 01:12:38.920 --> 01:12:42.039 five win seasons on the tour and the only golfers 1461 01:12:42.039 --> 01:12:44.399 in the past forty years to do that. The problem is, 1462 01:12:44.439 --> 01:12:46.840 Tiger did it in ninety nine and two thousand, two 1463 01:12:46.880 --> 01:12:48.720 thousand and two thousand and one, two thousand and one, 1464 01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:51.359 two thousand and two, two thousand and two, two thousand 1465 01:12:51.359 --> 01:12:53.279 and three, two thousand and six, two thousand and five, 1466 01:12:53.319 --> 01:12:55.279 two thousand and six, two thousand and six, two thousand 1467 01:12:55.279 --> 01:12:58.920 and seven. Our guy did it six times over the 1468 01:12:58.920 --> 01:12:59.560 course of an. 1469 01:12:59.479 --> 01:13:00.680 Eight year span. 1470 01:13:01.279 --> 01:13:03.000 So like every time I'm like, hey, you feel it 1471 01:13:03.079 --> 01:13:04.960 kind of feels like Scotty's doing the Tiger thing. You 1472 01:13:05.000 --> 01:13:07.199 see something and you realize that Scotty's got to do 1473 01:13:07.239 --> 01:13:10.000 it for another five six years before it is applicable. 1474 01:13:10.319 --> 01:13:12.600 But are we inching closer and closer too. I guess 1475 01:13:12.640 --> 01:13:15.119 what I'll say, feels like a historic run from the 1476 01:13:15.119 --> 01:13:16.039 best player in the world. 1477 01:13:16.159 --> 01:13:19.600 Right now we are and look, we're in the third 1478 01:13:19.760 --> 01:13:22.479 year of Scotty putting up Tiger numbers. In the first 1479 01:13:22.560 --> 01:13:26.520 year you do it, you go, okay, Jordan Rory, others 1480 01:13:26.520 --> 01:13:29.600 have done that. Justin Thomas has done that. They've done 1481 01:13:29.640 --> 01:13:33.439 it for one year. Second year, you go, okay, wow, 1482 01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:36.359 that's two years. But the third year that he's doing it, 1483 01:13:36.399 --> 01:13:39.720 which is where Scotti Schefleier is, now, you have to 1484 01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:43.960 really start paying attention and really start saying, wow, now 1485 01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:46.359 we are talking about the kinds of things that Tiger 1486 01:13:46.399 --> 01:13:50.079 Woods did. Now the next point is exactly the one 1487 01:13:50.119 --> 01:13:53.159 you just made. Tiger did it for a long time, 1488 01:13:53.399 --> 01:13:58.920 basically a decade, and it is almost unimaginable when you start, 1489 01:13:58.920 --> 01:14:04.640 I mean every time, really the arc of Tiger's accomplishments, 1490 01:14:04.159 --> 01:14:09.680 it's just breathtaking that Scotty is doing that now, and 1491 01:14:09.720 --> 01:14:15.720 there actually are some statistical accomplishments that Scotty is beyond Tiger. 1492 01:14:17.399 --> 01:14:22.079 Never once before this year has anybody, including Tiger Woods, 1493 01:14:22.159 --> 01:14:26.119 ever gone into the Tour Championship in the top twenty 1494 01:14:26.600 --> 01:14:30.119 of the top five strokes gained categories, strokes gained off 1495 01:14:30.119 --> 01:14:33.319 the tee, strokes gained around the green, strokes gained approach, 1496 01:14:33.359 --> 01:14:37.119 strokes gamed putty. Scotty Scheffler is in the top twenty 1497 01:14:37.239 --> 01:14:42.319 of all of those strokes gained categories. It is astonishing. 1498 01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:46.800 He is absolutely in a group of one right now 1499 01:14:47.279 --> 01:14:50.680 in terms of where he is playing, and Tiger lived 1500 01:14:51.039 --> 01:14:55.039 in a group of one. That's the ultimate comparison. Now, 1501 01:14:55.479 --> 01:14:58.479 can Scotty Scheffler do it for the next decade? Can't 1502 01:14:58.479 --> 01:14:59.439 wait to see. 1503 01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:04.039 That's the question before we get to the Tour Championship. 1504 01:15:04.640 --> 01:15:08.119 This is one of these golf you know, like historical 1505 01:15:08.359 --> 01:15:10.399 elements that I'm going to need you to kind of 1506 01:15:10.920 --> 01:15:13.119 educate me on. And it's going to be a simple 1507 01:15:13.199 --> 01:15:16.279 question with not very simple answer. What does Bobby Jones 1508 01:15:16.359 --> 01:15:18.000 mean to the game of golf. 1509 01:15:21.039 --> 01:15:26.000 So much? It's so deep. Every player who has ever 1510 01:15:26.079 --> 01:15:30.000 mattered since Bobby Jones will say that they were inspired 1511 01:15:30.079 --> 01:15:34.800 by and they want to be like Bobby Jones. Bobby 1512 01:15:34.880 --> 01:15:41.000 Jones ushered in in many ways the modern game. Bobby 1513 01:15:41.079 --> 01:15:45.439 Jones was a dominant superstar in a way that the 1514 01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:49.119 sport has never seen. He did the Jim Brown thing. 1515 01:15:49.239 --> 01:15:51.319 He walked away at the top of his game at 1516 01:15:51.319 --> 01:15:54.560 a young age. He was twenty nine when he left. 1517 01:15:54.600 --> 01:15:58.960 He didn't play top level competitive golf in his thirties 1518 01:15:59.079 --> 01:16:02.520 or beyond, and yet he's still a master record that's 1519 01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:06.560 one of the greatest ever. But on top of all 1520 01:16:06.640 --> 01:16:09.840 of that, Jones was an artist with a golf club. 1521 01:16:11.039 --> 01:16:15.279 There was a beauty to his game. Even with bad film, 1522 01:16:15.319 --> 01:16:17.319 and it's black and white film, it's not you know, 1523 01:16:18.039 --> 01:16:20.800 even with bad film from the air, you can just 1524 01:16:20.840 --> 01:16:22.399 see there was an artistry to. 1525 01:16:22.439 --> 01:16:23.199 His game. 1526 01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:28.439 That is very, very rare. I'm trying to think right 1527 01:16:28.479 --> 01:16:31.159 now if there's anybody around right now who has that 1528 01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:40.520 level of artistry, and certainly Tiger on certain shots, Adam 1529 01:16:40.600 --> 01:16:44.000 Scott in terms of the beauty of his swing, but no, 1530 01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:48.279 Bobby Jones was an artist like none other, and he's 1531 01:16:48.319 --> 01:16:52.279 he is just special in every way. Probably the most 1532 01:16:52.279 --> 01:16:56.439 significant way is how he was the inspiration and the 1533 01:16:56.479 --> 01:16:59.560 model for so many top players who have followed. 1534 01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:04.319 Wild to me is just learning about because for our listeners, 1535 01:17:04.319 --> 01:17:06.439 we're talking about this because East Lake is like the 1536 01:17:06.479 --> 01:17:08.520 home of Bobby Jones, where he learned to play golf. 1537 01:17:09.039 --> 01:17:11.720 But he graduated high school at sixteen and went to 1538 01:17:11.760 --> 01:17:16.840 Georgia Tech major mechanical engineering. You know, he decided that 1539 01:17:17.000 --> 01:17:20.560 engineering was boring and went to Harvard to study English lit. 1540 01:17:20.840 --> 01:17:23.239 Like then he went to law school at Emory, passed 1541 01:17:23.279 --> 01:17:27.159 the bar after three semesters. Like we know, Bobby, And 1542 01:17:27.199 --> 01:17:29.359 by the way, did he only compete as a as 1543 01:17:29.399 --> 01:17:32.800 an amateur? Am I also understanding that correctly? Oh yes see, 1544 01:17:33.359 --> 01:17:36.600 Like this is like under the radar, at least for 1545 01:17:37.000 --> 01:17:39.960 average sports fans. One of the most fascinating people in 1546 01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:42.560 the history of sport that I've ever like learned about. 1547 01:17:42.600 --> 01:17:43.720 It's pretty wild. 1548 01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:49.359 No, I agree completely. I got on a Bobby Jones' 1549 01:17:49.520 --> 01:17:52.159 biography binge a few years ago and read four of 1550 01:17:52.199 --> 01:17:56.239 them in a row, and yeah, I know it's obsessive, 1551 01:17:56.399 --> 01:17:59.279 but it was very, very interesting. And you are so 1552 01:17:59.520 --> 01:18:04.359 right to talk about his educational pursuits. He he felt 1553 01:18:04.359 --> 01:18:07.079 like he never could get enough education, like he never 1554 01:18:07.159 --> 01:18:10.640 could know enough. But he he got the engineering degree, 1555 01:18:10.720 --> 01:18:14.399 a master's being English, and a jd. Who do we 1556 01:18:14.479 --> 01:18:16.840 know who does that? And this is while he was 1557 01:18:16.880 --> 01:18:19.800 competing at the top level in the world in the 1558 01:18:19.920 --> 01:18:21.720 sport unreal. 1559 01:18:22.039 --> 01:18:26.159 Yeah, it's it's pretty wild to learn about. Uh, just 1560 01:18:26.560 --> 01:18:28.600 Bobby as a person, what he meant to the game. 1561 01:18:28.640 --> 01:18:30.960 I mean he found it Augusta, Like what's going on here? 1562 01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:35.880 It's pretty wild, you know what his imprint has left 1563 01:18:35.920 --> 01:18:38.079 on the game of golf. All right, as far as 1564 01:18:38.159 --> 01:18:41.319 East Lake the track, as far as East Lake the 1565 01:18:41.359 --> 01:18:44.640 course tell us about it. 1566 01:18:44.640 --> 01:18:48.560 It's an old school parkland course built around a naturally 1567 01:18:48.560 --> 01:18:52.800 occurring lake that at the time was east of East 1568 01:18:52.840 --> 01:18:56.239 of a Lanton. Now, of course the metro area and 1569 01:18:56.239 --> 01:19:00.760 then and the metropolitan boundaries of our excuse the municipal 1570 01:19:00.800 --> 01:19:04.239 boundaries have subsumed that. But you can see downtown Atlanta 1571 01:19:04.279 --> 01:19:06.880 in the background from certain TV shots that they show. 1572 01:19:08.239 --> 01:19:12.680 It is a hilly course. It's long, it's up to 1573 01:19:12.720 --> 01:19:15.960 seventy five hundred yards. Now. They always had a lot 1574 01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:18.000 of land there on the property because they got it 1575 01:19:18.000 --> 01:19:21.840 when it was down in the country, and so they've 1576 01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:24.239 had room to expand and grow with the modern game. 1577 01:19:26.319 --> 01:19:32.359 It is a course that is demanding. But this week 1578 01:19:32.399 --> 01:19:36.159 they are tearing it apart because of the rain. What's 1579 01:19:36.199 --> 01:19:41.279 happening is because of the rain, the ball will plug 1580 01:19:41.319 --> 01:19:44.039 in the fairway and so they're playing lift clean in place, 1581 01:19:44.199 --> 01:19:48.520 and so you give these guys a clean ball in 1582 01:19:48.560 --> 01:19:50.960 their hand that they can put down on the grass 1583 01:19:51.000 --> 01:19:52.840 just the way they want to, and you have them 1584 01:19:52.880 --> 01:19:56.279 hitting it into soft, spongy greens and it's like throwing 1585 01:19:56.319 --> 01:19:59.560 a dart at a dartboard, And that is exactly what's happening. 1586 01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:02.920 They are throwing darts and they are going low. And 1587 01:20:02.960 --> 01:20:06.199 there's a whole bunch of low scores happening right now. 1588 01:20:06.600 --> 01:20:07.079 There is. 1589 01:20:07.359 --> 01:20:09.640 And they had to push the tea times up today 1590 01:20:09.640 --> 01:20:11.960 for inclement weather this afternoon. 1591 01:20:12.359 --> 01:20:15.159 And are we in for inclement weather all weekend? 1592 01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:16.760 I mean, are they going to have to get creative 1593 01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:17.920 on how to finish this tournament. 1594 01:20:19.039 --> 01:20:22.680 They're hoping that they'll get through to Sunday, but maybe 1595 01:20:22.720 --> 01:20:26.640 maybe now they have the advantage that they don't have 1596 01:20:26.720 --> 01:20:29.319 a big field to try to get around the course. 1597 01:20:29.359 --> 01:20:31.359 We're not trying to get one hundred and fifty people 1598 01:20:31.479 --> 01:20:33.600 or even seventy five around the course. We're trying to 1599 01:20:33.600 --> 01:20:36.720 get thirty. And they playing twosomes. If you need to 1600 01:20:36.760 --> 01:20:39.520 even put thirty into threesomes and get it get around 1601 01:20:39.560 --> 01:20:44.439 the course even quicker. But I think they'll be able 1602 01:20:44.479 --> 01:20:47.119 to do it because of the small field. But yeah, 1603 01:20:47.159 --> 01:20:49.279 they've they've got weather issues there this year. 1604 01:20:50.479 --> 01:20:52.880 Okay, so when it comes to the low scores that 1605 01:20:52.960 --> 01:20:57.760 we've seen, you know, ultimately Tommy Fleetwood is still looking 1606 01:20:57.920 --> 01:21:01.720 for his first win on the Peur And look, at 1607 01:21:01.720 --> 01:21:04.199 some points, it's kind of like Cam Young earlier this year. 1608 01:21:04.239 --> 01:21:06.880 At some point you just feel like it's gonna happen, 1609 01:21:06.920 --> 01:21:10.279 because obviously Tommy is that good. He just is, and 1610 01:21:10.279 --> 01:21:14.239 he's one overseas, he's one everywhere outside of winning here. 1611 01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:17.359 But there is something that's happened to him when he's 1612 01:21:17.399 --> 01:21:19.840 had opportunities over and over and over where he's allowed 1613 01:21:19.840 --> 01:21:21.439 it to kind of slip through his fingers. Our guy 1614 01:21:21.520 --> 01:21:25.000 goes seven under today and he's thirteen under, tied with 1615 01:21:25.079 --> 01:21:26.000 Russell Henley. 1616 01:21:25.760 --> 01:21:27.920 For the lead. Are you feeling like maybe this is 1617 01:21:27.960 --> 01:21:28.680 Tommy's chance? 1618 01:21:29.920 --> 01:21:32.039 I don't know why it wouldn't be, except that there 1619 01:21:32.039 --> 01:21:34.560 seems to be some kind of gremlin sitting on his 1620 01:21:34.600 --> 01:21:38.640 shoulder right Who knows what it is that gets in 1621 01:21:38.720 --> 01:21:42.319 his head the last three holes on Sunday afternoon as 1622 01:21:42.359 --> 01:21:44.960 many times as it has happened, but it has happened, 1623 01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:48.760 and I have no explanation for it. But if he's 1624 01:21:48.800 --> 01:21:52.239 in the mix coming down, coming down the back nine 1625 01:21:52.279 --> 01:21:54.039 on Sunday afternoon. I'm going to be cheering for him 1626 01:21:54.039 --> 01:21:56.000 because I want to see him get over the top. 1627 01:21:56.399 --> 01:21:59.520 And you know, Fleetwood has such a good attitude about 1628 01:21:59.520 --> 01:22:01.920 all this. He said, wouldn't it be great? Wouldn't it 1629 01:22:01.920 --> 01:22:04.439 be funny if after all this, the one I do 1630 01:22:04.520 --> 01:22:09.000 break through on is the Tour Championship. He goes, that'd 1631 01:22:09.039 --> 01:22:11.560 be great, wouldn't it? And I agree with him, that'd 1632 01:22:11.560 --> 01:22:14.479 be great. I like that you mentioned Cameron Young. We've 1633 01:22:14.520 --> 01:22:16.479 got to talk about Cam Young today and what he 1634 01:22:16.520 --> 01:22:19.359 did on the backside. Keeping in mind he's hitting into 1635 01:22:19.520 --> 01:22:23.000 soft greens with the ball in hand down in the fairway. 1636 01:22:23.039 --> 01:22:26.039 So the trick to Eastlake this week is hit the fairway. 1637 01:22:26.279 --> 01:22:28.239 The rough is long at four and a half inches, 1638 01:22:28.279 --> 01:22:31.039 it's thick and heavy with water. But if you're in 1639 01:22:31.039 --> 01:22:33.800 the fairway you can go at this course well. Anyway, 1640 01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:37.319 Cam Young hits all the fairways this on the backside 1641 01:22:37.359 --> 01:22:43.199 today he shoots twenty nine with an average proximity of 1642 01:22:43.640 --> 01:22:46.800 just a little over six feet and he has nine 1643 01:22:47.239 --> 01:22:51.800 one puts ug real nice, I know. 1644 01:22:52.159 --> 01:22:54.600 So we should give a little love to Russell Henley, 1645 01:22:54.680 --> 01:22:57.399 who's certainly not the longest player on tour, but once 1646 01:22:57.439 --> 01:22:59.600 he gets within about one hundred and sixty hundred and 1647 01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:02.920 seventy cards, I've just been wildly impressed at his ability 1648 01:23:02.960 --> 01:23:05.840 to find greens and find greens in the right place 1649 01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:08.760 and give him a chance to certainly two putt if not, 1650 01:23:08.960 --> 01:23:11.840 you know, make birdies. And he goes four under today 1651 01:23:11.880 --> 01:23:15.000 after carding a sixty one yesterday, and he's got thirteen 1652 01:23:15.119 --> 01:23:17.800 under with Tommy. This has been the best season of 1653 01:23:17.880 --> 01:23:20.600 Russell's career. Do you think he can lift this cup? 1654 01:23:20.600 --> 01:23:22.159 What do you make of the first couple of rounds 1655 01:23:22.199 --> 01:23:22.920 for Russell Henley? 1656 01:23:24.000 --> 01:23:26.760 He totally couldn't lift this cup. Look, he is one 1657 01:23:26.800 --> 01:23:29.560 of the six who qualified for the Ryder Cup on points, 1658 01:23:30.119 --> 01:23:33.000 and that's not an accident. Henley's been a top flight 1659 01:23:33.319 --> 01:23:37.800 quality player for a long time. He's kind of an understated, 1660 01:23:38.039 --> 01:23:40.319 softly spoken kind of guy, and so he flies a 1661 01:23:40.319 --> 01:23:44.399 little under the radar. His game is not spectacular, which 1662 01:23:44.479 --> 01:23:46.520 is to say, he hits it on the fairway, he 1663 01:23:46.600 --> 01:23:48.239 hits it on the green and any two pets and 1664 01:23:48.239 --> 01:23:50.840 walks to the next hole. He doesn't give shots back. 1665 01:23:51.199 --> 01:23:54.840 He's got a very simple repeatable swing. I love his swing, 1666 01:23:56.159 --> 01:24:00.840 but he's just not a flashy guy and he but 1667 01:24:00.960 --> 01:24:05.520 he is absolutely a player who has every tool to 1668 01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:09.159 lift the FedEx Cup. Absolutely he does. 1669 01:24:09.359 --> 01:24:11.800 Hey, before we move off this tournament, I've got a 1670 01:24:11.800 --> 01:24:15.039 couple other quick ones for you as we approach the weekend. 1671 01:24:15.399 --> 01:24:17.880 You're always good to tell us you know, based off 1672 01:24:17.880 --> 01:24:20.079 of where the leaders are at and who behind them 1673 01:24:20.680 --> 01:24:22.640 has a chance to win it. I mean, look, if 1674 01:24:22.680 --> 01:24:25.439 you're willing to expand your mind to six shots, there's 1675 01:24:25.600 --> 01:24:29.640 Justin Thomas and Rory McElroy and Sam Burns at seven under. 1676 01:24:30.159 --> 01:24:32.800 If you're willing to only adjust your mind to five shots, 1677 01:24:32.840 --> 01:24:35.600 there's a golfer named Scotty Scheffler who's five strokes back 1678 01:24:35.600 --> 01:24:38.359 now heading into the weekend. But Tommy and Russell are 1679 01:24:38.399 --> 01:24:41.239 thirteen under. So how many golfers left you think have 1680 01:24:41.279 --> 01:24:42.840 a chance to compete over the weekend. 1681 01:24:44.359 --> 01:24:48.800 You're right to mention Scotty. Scotty did not have his 1682 01:24:49.119 --> 01:24:53.159 game today and he shot sixty nine. Shane Lowry shot 1683 01:24:53.239 --> 01:24:56.640 sixty three. He is the big group at minus seven. 1684 01:24:56.840 --> 01:24:59.640 Somebody out of that group is going to make a move. 1685 01:25:00.119 --> 01:25:03.000 Be Justin Thomas, might be Sam Burns, Rory McElroy's in 1686 01:25:03.079 --> 01:25:07.319 that group, Scottie Scheffler at minus eight, he's six back. 1687 01:25:07.920 --> 01:25:10.439 The one that really gets my attention is T four 1688 01:25:10.520 --> 01:25:15.359 at minus ten, and that's Robert McIntyre. He is explosive 1689 01:25:15.560 --> 01:25:19.880 and dangerous and by the way, you're probably hearing it here. 1690 01:25:19.920 --> 01:25:25.359 First MacIntyre will win a Masters. He will win at Augusta, 1691 01:25:26.119 --> 01:25:33.079 and so he has a mechanical advantage. Augusta is set 1692 01:25:33.159 --> 01:25:35.720 up to favor a left handed golfer, and he is 1693 01:25:35.800 --> 01:25:40.239 a powerful left handed golfer with an ability to get 1694 01:25:40.279 --> 01:25:42.479 streaky and to make a lot of puts. I am 1695 01:25:42.520 --> 01:25:45.560 just one hundred percent confidence that Robert McIntyre will win 1696 01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:49.199 a Master's and I would be unsurprised to see him 1697 01:25:49.239 --> 01:25:51.680 make a run on this tournament this week as well. 1698 01:25:52.119 --> 01:25:54.760 All right, Paul, moving off the championship, we are inching 1699 01:25:54.800 --> 01:25:58.279 closer and closer to decision day for Captain Keegan Bradley. 1700 01:25:59.359 --> 01:26:01.920 You know this is this is a hot topic, man. 1701 01:26:01.960 --> 01:26:05.840 I asked Rex yesterday and ESPN today with their Golf 1702 01:26:05.880 --> 01:26:09.520 Riders has a round table debating whether or not he 1703 01:26:09.560 --> 01:26:12.640 should pick himself, and it feels like there's more momentum 1704 01:26:13.439 --> 01:26:17.520 for support should Hegan do that as opposed to the 1705 01:26:17.600 --> 01:26:19.840 other side of things, which is I know that you've 1706 01:26:19.880 --> 01:26:21.279 been there, and I think a lot of people agree 1707 01:26:21.319 --> 01:26:26.479 with you. But Scotty, JJ Spahn, Xander Rison, Russell, Henley 1708 01:26:26.520 --> 01:26:30.000 Harris English are the six players who have automatically qualified. 1709 01:26:30.479 --> 01:26:32.960 When we hear the announcements, Give me your best guess 1710 01:26:33.000 --> 01:26:34.520 on what the six names will be. 1711 01:26:36.800 --> 01:26:40.079 Well, yeah, what a great thing. Let me first say 1712 01:26:40.399 --> 01:26:44.359 that on Utah Golf Radio tomorrow morning, we will have 1713 01:26:44.520 --> 01:26:47.760 the two thousand and four Ryder Cup captain Hal Sutton 1714 01:26:48.039 --> 01:26:50.479 on our show Nice and we're going to put We're 1715 01:26:50.479 --> 01:26:53.239 going to pose this question to mister Sutton and see 1716 01:26:53.239 --> 01:26:56.920 what he has to say about it. I'm very, very 1717 01:26:56.960 --> 01:27:00.960 eager to hear his thoughts from somebody who has actually 1718 01:27:01.520 --> 01:27:04.640 sat in the captain's chair and knows what it means 1719 01:27:04.680 --> 01:27:06.359 and knows what it takes. And he's played on four 1720 01:27:06.399 --> 01:27:08.239 other Ryder Cups as well. He knows what it is 1721 01:27:08.279 --> 01:27:13.159 to be a player. So, uh, which which ones make 1722 01:27:13.279 --> 01:27:18.600 the make the cut? I think that first of all, 1723 01:27:19.479 --> 01:27:25.279 that Keithan Bradley should not pick himself. I think that 1724 01:27:25.800 --> 01:27:28.159 being a team captain is a big, big thing and 1725 01:27:28.199 --> 01:27:31.399 you want people who are who are focused on on 1726 01:27:31.760 --> 01:27:35.079 exactly being a captain, and people focused on exactly being 1727 01:27:35.119 --> 01:27:38.920 a player. I think you've got to look at the 1728 01:27:39.359 --> 01:27:42.520 players in points who are right as starting at seven 1729 01:27:42.560 --> 01:27:46.600 and beyond. Right there, seven is Justin Thomas, followed by 1730 01:27:46.640 --> 01:27:49.600 Colin Morty Kaala and Ben Griffin and Maverick McNeely. I 1731 01:27:49.640 --> 01:27:53.960 think those next four must go, and then after that 1732 01:27:54.840 --> 01:27:57.159 is when it gets interesting. And the ones that I 1733 01:27:57.199 --> 01:28:01.239 think should are the ones that should go are also 1734 01:28:01.319 --> 01:28:04.199 playing really well at Eastlake right now, and that's Cameron 1735 01:28:04.239 --> 01:28:06.960 Young and Patrick Cantley. It was the sixth I would pick. 1736 01:28:08.119 --> 01:28:10.960 It's such a risk because if Keegan picks himself and 1737 01:28:11.000 --> 01:28:14.880 it blows up, he will be under so much scrutiny, 1738 01:28:15.439 --> 01:28:18.119 you know. Now if it works, he'll be applauded as 1739 01:28:18.159 --> 01:28:20.479 a hero. It's just a massive risk. But look, before 1740 01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:23.800 I set you loose a question about the fall schedule, 1741 01:28:23.880 --> 01:28:26.920 namely the Bank of Utah Championship down at Black Desert 1742 01:28:26.960 --> 01:28:29.439 Resort coming up in October. There are a lot of 1743 01:28:29.439 --> 01:28:32.079 good golfers that did not make the top fifty, a 1744 01:28:32.119 --> 01:28:34.760 lot of good golfers that need fall points, including our 1745 01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:38.239 local player Tony Fenaw what Generally speaking, maybe you're hearing 1746 01:28:38.279 --> 01:28:40.439 some things about the field that you think we'll see 1747 01:28:40.560 --> 01:28:41.920 down to Black Desert this fall. 1748 01:28:43.159 --> 01:28:46.520 Well, I've been texting with Tony's management and as of 1749 01:28:47.279 --> 01:28:51.520 yesterday afternoon, they had not made a decision. Tony had 1750 01:28:51.560 --> 01:28:56.359 not made a decision about any of his Fall Series schedule, 1751 01:28:56.800 --> 01:28:58.920 where he'll play and where he won't, So we just 1752 01:28:58.960 --> 01:29:00.920 don't know yet what ton he will choose to do. 1753 01:29:03.520 --> 01:29:07.680 Tony is solidly within the top one hundred. What he 1754 01:29:07.760 --> 01:29:10.520 could do in getting points in the Fall Series. He 1755 01:29:10.520 --> 01:29:14.239 can't get into the top fifty that ship is sailed, 1756 01:29:14.359 --> 01:29:17.640 but he can get into fifty to sixty and there 1757 01:29:17.640 --> 01:29:21.039 are some advantages there. So are those enough of an 1758 01:29:21.039 --> 01:29:22.840 advantage to where he'll want to play him or does 1759 01:29:22.880 --> 01:29:24.479 he want to take a break. I don't know. I 1760 01:29:24.479 --> 01:29:26.239 don't think he knows yet. So we don't know that 1761 01:29:26.319 --> 01:29:30.760 about Tony. What we do know is that Patrick Fishburn 1762 01:29:30.840 --> 01:29:35.760 from Ogden, from Fairview High School, from Brigham Youa University. 1763 01:29:36.640 --> 01:29:40.039 Patrick sits at ninety five on the FedEx points right now, 1764 01:29:40.479 --> 01:29:44.359 and he needs the Fall Series to solidify and assure 1765 01:29:44.479 --> 01:29:47.359 his position within the top one hundred to get his 1766 01:29:47.520 --> 01:29:50.680 fully exempt card. He will be playing. I think it's 1767 01:29:51.239 --> 01:29:54.279 a given that he will play at the Bank of 1768 01:29:54.439 --> 01:29:57.239 Utah Championship at Black Desert, and we're going to get 1769 01:29:57.279 --> 01:29:59.199 a chance to see him on Utah soil and a 1770 01:29:59.239 --> 01:30:03.079 PGA tour A that is, Patrick will be on Utah 1771 01:30:03.119 --> 01:30:05.560 Golf Radio tomorrow morning as well. I'm going to pose 1772 01:30:05.640 --> 01:30:06.399 him that question. 1773 01:30:07.560 --> 01:30:10.000 Awesome, awesome before I said you loose, I know you've 1774 01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:12.359 already kind of teased, but let's get a rundown of 1775 01:30:12.359 --> 01:30:13.439 what's on the show tomorrow. 1776 01:30:14.520 --> 01:30:18.520 Sure, obviously Hal Sutton and Patrick Fishburne.

We're 1781 01:30:32.479 --> 01:30:35.479 going to get the backstory on that from Haley, and 1782 01:30:35.640 --> 01:30:40.520 we're going to do a recap on Kihyakina winning the 1783 01:30:40.640 --> 01:30:45.760 Utah Open at Riverside, the youngest player ever to win 1784 01:30:45.840 --> 01:30:49.880 the Utah Open, beating a fifty year old record to 1785 01:30:49.920 --> 01:30:52.520 become the youngest to win that tournament.

And so that's how life goes, right 1825 01:32:40.760 --> 01:32:43.720 it does. It's rock and roll like the song right, yeah, indeed? Well, 1826 01:32:43.800 --> 01:32:45.880 and you know you've lived in the public cry. I 1827 01:32:46.039 --> 01:32:48.600 now for quite some time as of I and when 1828 01:32:48.640 --> 01:32:50.960 you're in the public eye and things get a little loose, 1829 01:32:51.079 --> 01:32:53.359 folks for some reason are very interested in it, and 1830 01:32:53.399 --> 01:32:55.399 then you just kind of do the best to move on, right. 1831 01:32:55.680 --> 01:32:58.840 It's just one of those things that comes with the territory. Yes, indeed, 1832 01:32:58.880 --> 01:33:01.920 by the way, I want to show you something. I 1833 01:33:02.039 --> 01:33:03.960 just moved from Hawaii and so I left some stuff 1834 01:33:04.000 --> 01:33:06.520 there in this this great family, the Mamone family, Ricky 1835 01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:09.960 Mamone fighter. Check him out. We're backing him now. That's 1836 01:33:10.039 --> 01:33:13.239 Jackson State Baby twenty twenty two. And then I saw 1837 01:33:13.239 --> 01:33:15.640 an article. I know the algorithm's listening because in my 1838 01:33:15.680 --> 01:33:18.960 feet it popped up their HBCU top ten. We got 1839 01:33:19.000 --> 01:33:22.680 Jeremiah Williams and Jonas Wertillian. I coached them at Jackson State. 1840 01:33:22.920 --> 01:33:24.840 Just a shout out to my HBCU guys, you know, 1841 01:33:24.920 --> 01:33:27.199 thinking about you, and now that I'm with the Islanders, 1842 01:33:27.199 --> 01:33:28.760 it's kind of the same type of level of play 1843 01:33:28.800 --> 01:33:31.359 where it's last shot you, we would say. But we 1844 01:33:31.439 --> 01:33:33.479 got a game tomorrow, so I'm kind of excited about it. Yeah, 1845 01:33:33.520 --> 01:33:34.159 let's talk about it. 1846 01:33:34.199 --> 01:33:37.319 So this is your national championship undefeated ring from Jackson. 1847 01:33:37.359 --> 01:33:39.319 Well, we lost the final game. Okay, so we didn't 1848 01:33:39.319 --> 01:33:41.760 put that on the ring, that we were undefeated in 1849 01:33:41.800 --> 01:33:44.359 conference play. But then they have this exhibition game called 1850 01:33:44.359 --> 01:33:47.920 the Celebration Bowl, and we just kind of partied the 1851 01:33:47.920 --> 01:33:50.479 whole week I think in Atlanta. Well that doesn't count. 1852 01:33:50.520 --> 01:33:52.359 Then you were undefeated. Yeah, yeah, yeah it was. It 1853 01:33:52.680 --> 01:33:54.800 was a fun consolation, but we did lose that game. 1854 01:33:54.800 --> 01:33:56.800 But I just I've been thinking about it, man, I've 1855 01:33:56.800 --> 01:33:59.720 been thinking about my time back then and missed those guys. 1856 01:34:00.000 --> 01:34:03.399 I'm excited for those two guys, particularly to hopefully make 1857 01:34:03.439 --> 01:34:03.920 it now. 1858 01:34:04.199 --> 01:34:06.960 Last time you were here, well I should actually let 1859 01:34:06.960 --> 01:34:09.560 me rewind you were not here when I walked out 1860 01:34:09.600 --> 01:34:12.439 of the studio during a break and Dylan came up 1861 01:34:12.479 --> 01:34:14.880 to me and said and said, hey, does Trevor want 1862 01:34:14.920 --> 01:34:16.560 is his super Bowl ring? 1863 01:34:18.000 --> 01:34:18.960 Did you get your Super Bowl? 1864 01:34:19.039 --> 01:34:19.239 Right? 1865 01:34:19.479 --> 01:34:21.560 I got it back and it's a second place ring. 1866 01:34:21.800 --> 01:34:24.479 Oh it's okay. You know it's for the kids. There's 1867 01:34:24.520 --> 01:34:26.439 a lot of diamonds in that thing. Yeah, there's a few. 1868 01:34:27.640 --> 01:34:30.720 It was in my son's closet for you know, seven years, 1869 01:34:31.119 --> 01:34:34.000 and they moved and so he's like, hey, dad, how 1870 01:34:34.000 --> 01:34:35.439 about this? And I was like, oh, yeah, I'll take that. 1871 01:34:35.520 --> 01:34:37.760 I'm recruiting now. I could use that for sure. Little 1872 01:34:37.760 --> 01:34:40.000 douchey here there, But it works. They turned it around, 1873 01:34:40.039 --> 01:34:43.840 hey man, last chance. It's a weird thing. But we're 1874 01:34:43.840 --> 01:34:46.119 passing around town. I thinks it's with Dave Fogergn right 1875 01:34:46.119 --> 01:34:48.920 now in Highland. Okay, it's been with him for a week. 1876 01:34:49.479 --> 01:34:52.279 But I don't have a lot of stuff. I'm kind 1877 01:34:52.279 --> 01:34:54.000 of mobile right now, so I'm just I like to 1878 01:34:54.000 --> 01:34:55.720 bury treasure and then go back and find it. 1879 01:34:55.760 --> 01:34:58.000 Okay, Well, as long as you're keeping the things that 1880 01:34:58.039 --> 01:35:01.119 are legitimately valuable close by. I mean that ring, even 1881 01:35:01.159 --> 01:35:03.359 though it's the second place ring, with all those diamonds, 1882 01:35:03.399 --> 01:35:05.119 you could probably catch a little cash for it if 1883 01:35:05.159 --> 01:35:05.600 you needed to. 1884 01:35:05.760 --> 01:35:07.920 Well, I quit going to Wendover, so it should be 1885 01:35:07.960 --> 01:35:10.520 good for a while. I'm banned from Wendover. You're banned 1886 01:35:10.520 --> 01:35:12.760 from Wendover. Yeah. I went there with my son and 1887 01:35:12.800 --> 01:35:16.079 my business partner, and I had broken it. I lost 1888 01:35:16.119 --> 01:35:17.800 fifteen hands in a row. This was a number of 1889 01:35:17.880 --> 01:35:20.560 years ago. I slammed a table. I think I broke it, 1890 01:35:20.600 --> 01:35:23.399 and then I walked. I walked through the double doors 1891 01:35:23.439 --> 01:35:26.079 and I went and had food there. Are we stopping 1892 01:35:26.119 --> 01:35:29.399 on the way driving to San Francisco. And they said, Sir, 1893 01:35:29.479 --> 01:35:30.840 I thought it was getting a upgrade. They'll give me 1894 01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:32.439 a room because I know I'd spent some money there. 1895 01:35:32.720 --> 01:35:34.640 They said, you need to finish your meal and immediately 1896 01:35:34.720 --> 01:35:36.479 leave the premises because you broke the table. 1897 01:35:36.560 --> 01:35:36.720 Yeah. 1898 01:35:36.720 --> 01:35:38.680 And I said, well, and they said, let me show 1899 01:35:38.680 --> 01:35:40.840 you this. Oh I'm so sorry, and they said's okay, 1900 01:35:40.880 --> 01:35:43.359 all right, you donated a good amount to us that night, 1901 01:35:43.399 --> 01:35:46.399 but you need You're not allowed in town anymore. In town, no, 1902 01:35:46.479 --> 01:35:50.279 I'm banned from the city. Well, I mean the gambling 1903 01:35:50.439 --> 01:35:54.000 establishments I'm banned from. But I still can go there 1904 01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:56.119 and play golf a good course there, Yeah, yeah, for sure. 1905 01:35:56.159 --> 01:35:59.640 Were you playing blackjack? Was playing blackjack? You ever lost 1906 01:35:59.680 --> 01:36:01.359 twelve in a row? Yeah, it happened. 1907 01:36:01.439 --> 01:36:03.560 I've had some long nights at a blackjack table. I've 1908 01:36:03.560 --> 01:36:05.720 had some good nights at a blackjack table, but more 1909 01:36:05.760 --> 01:36:08.520 often than not, I it's it's the old saying. You 1910 01:36:08.520 --> 01:36:10.000 got to know when to hold them, no one, you 1911 01:36:10.000 --> 01:36:12.880 gotta know way man if you walk away. 1912 01:36:13.640 --> 01:36:14.520 So what I do now? 1913 01:36:14.560 --> 01:36:16.600 Like we were in Vegas for Big twelve media days 1914 01:36:16.640 --> 01:36:19.920 last year, and I very much enjoy throwing cards, like 1915 01:36:20.039 --> 01:36:22.000 too much, so I've got to be careful with it. 1916 01:36:22.399 --> 01:36:24.560 So I sat, I sit down. You know, I find 1917 01:36:24.600 --> 01:36:26.399 like a ten dollars minimum table. I'm not trying to 1918 01:36:26.399 --> 01:36:29.119 get weird, And over the course of a couple hours, 1919 01:36:29.159 --> 01:36:31.560 I went up like two hundred and fifty bucks, right nice. 1920 01:36:31.720 --> 01:36:33.479 And then you know, I got to work the next day, 1921 01:36:33.520 --> 01:36:34.880 so I'm just looking at the clock. I'm like, you 1922 01:36:34.960 --> 01:36:37.800 know what, I'm gonna play one fifty dollars hand and 1923 01:36:37.840 --> 01:36:39.800 see what happens, and then I'm walking away. I lost 1924 01:36:39.800 --> 01:36:41.479 the hand, but I walked away with two hundred bucks 1925 01:36:41.479 --> 01:36:43.319 and I played for like three hours, which I view 1926 01:36:43.319 --> 01:36:43.880 as a big win. 1927 01:36:44.199 --> 01:36:46.800 I would say tremendous amount of self control. I would 1928 01:36:46.800 --> 01:36:48.880 have played back in the old days another twelve hours, 1929 01:36:48.960 --> 01:36:50.960 getting on a heater. That's gat problem. And if you lose, 1930 01:36:51.000 --> 01:36:53.880 it's almost more. Gambling is bad. I don't gamble anymore, 1931 01:36:53.960 --> 01:36:58.039 neither do I. I've retired from that.

And I was never, like, 1947 01:37:35.960 --> 01:37:38.279 you know, intent on using my fake ID. And this 1948 01:37:38.439 --> 01:37:40.720 was far before the movie super Bad came out with 1949 01:37:40.720 --> 01:37:43.960 the mcleve fake ID. But my fake ID said I 1950 01:37:44.039 --> 01:37:46.920 was born in Hawaii, said I was forty seven years old, 1951 01:37:47.079 --> 01:37:50.239 and my name was John starksh the Knicks shooting guard 1952 01:37:50.239 --> 01:37:51.800 at the time. That was my that was my hero, 1953 01:37:51.920 --> 01:37:53.720 and I had it in my wallet more of more 1954 01:37:53.720 --> 01:37:57.319 as like a joke. But we're in Mesquite and I'm 1955 01:37:57.359 --> 01:38:00.720 with my girlfriend's two brothers, older brother, younger other and 1956 01:38:00.760 --> 01:38:04.239 we're walking around the hotel. Everyone's sleeping and Brad, the 1957 01:38:04.279 --> 01:38:06.560 older brother, was like, hey, let's just go pull some slots, 1958 01:38:07.680 --> 01:38:10.000 Like yeah, sure, I'd never done it before. I had 1959 01:38:10.319 --> 01:38:12.720 a couple bucks in my pocket, so we're pulling like 1960 01:38:12.800 --> 01:38:15.359 quarter slots and I hit one for like, I don't know, 1961 01:38:15.840 --> 01:38:19.640 thirty dollars, right, and it's a really cool thing. 1962 01:38:19.680 --> 01:38:21.039 And the quarter starts spilling out. 1963 01:38:21.039 --> 01:38:22.680 This is way back in the day when you actually 1964 01:38:22.680 --> 01:38:24.000 had quarters as opposed to how. 1965 01:38:23.920 --> 01:38:26.279 They do it now digitally. This is like one arm 1966 01:38:26.359 --> 01:38:29.720 bandit your pell pull in the slot armand I'm like, sweet, 1967 01:38:29.760 --> 01:38:30.800 I just made thirty bucks. 1968 01:38:30.840 --> 01:38:33.159 And so as the quarters come spilling out, the security 1969 01:38:33.159 --> 01:38:36.079 guard comes walking over. Because I obviously looked young, He's like, hey, 1970 01:38:36.600 --> 01:38:39.439 do you have any ID? And, like a moron, I 1971 01:38:39.520 --> 01:38:42.199 pulled out my fake ID from Hawaii that says my 1972 01:38:42.279 --> 01:38:44.479 name is John Starks and I'm forty seven years old 1973 01:38:44.520 --> 01:38:45.760 and he looks at me. He's like, you have got 1974 01:38:45.800 --> 01:38:48.079 to be kidding me. They arrested me. They took me 1975 01:38:48.159 --> 01:38:50.239 to jail. My girlfriend's father had to bail me out 1976 01:38:50.279 --> 01:38:52.439 to the tune of five hundred bucks. Wow, the first 1977 01:38:52.479 --> 01:38:53.840 time I saw a jail cell. 1978 01:38:53.880 --> 01:38:57.199 It's not the spot Mesquite. That was nice.

You know, I'm eighteen years old. 1985 01:39:07.159 --> 01:39:07.560 Terrified. 1986 01:39:07.560 --> 01:39:10.000 I'm like, is this shashank Am? I going to die tonight? 1987 01:39:10.840 --> 01:39:13.159 But yeah, you know, when it comes to gambling, it's 1988 01:39:13.199 --> 01:39:16.560 like everything else. What you cannot moderate, you must eliminate. 1989 01:39:16.640 --> 01:39:17.640 That's true, you know what I mean? 1990 01:39:17.720 --> 01:39:20.079 Well, speaking of the weirdest place I ever got arrest, 1991 01:39:20.079 --> 01:39:23.359 I've been arrested twice.

He was there, He pressed his play. 2009 01:40:12.520 --> 01:40:15.960 He's like, watch this. He hadn't. He took him forty 2010 01:40:15.960 --> 01:40:17.680 minutes to catch me because it was a two lane road, 2011 01:40:17.760 --> 01:40:19.399 so he was trying to catch me the whole way. 2012 01:40:19.720 --> 01:40:22.199 He says, you're going to jail. He took me to jail, wow, 2013 01:40:22.319 --> 01:40:25.439 on my mission in Sweden. In Sweden, and I just 2014 01:40:25.479 --> 01:40:27.239 started praying and it was nice. He said, you can 2015 01:40:27.279 --> 01:40:28.520 sit in the front seat, but we're gonna take you 2016 01:40:28.560 --> 01:40:32.479 to jail, right ah. And so anyways, these elders just 2017 01:40:32.560 --> 01:40:34.119 begged with the guy please let him out, and they 2018 01:40:34.199 --> 01:40:35.880 let me out. But I was there for five hours 2019 01:40:35.880 --> 01:40:39.760 and holding cell and she leftial Sweden. What is jail 2020 01:40:39.960 --> 01:40:42.439 like in Sweden? Oh? They gave me some cookies. 2021 01:40:42.560 --> 01:40:43.159 It was nice. 2022 01:40:43.199 --> 01:40:43.439 See. 2023 01:40:43.479 --> 01:40:45.600 I was gonna say, like, did you ever watch that 2024 01:40:45.680 --> 01:40:48.239 show Locked Up for Broad There was online, I've seen it, so, 2025 01:40:48.600 --> 01:40:51.119 I mean they tell horror stories of like what it's 2026 01:40:51.159 --> 01:40:53.880 like being like in like a Mexican prison or you know, 2027 01:40:54.000 --> 01:40:57.439 somewhere in South America or like Russia or something like. 2028 01:40:58.279 --> 01:41:01.199 When you're traveling, you bet obey the law of the land, 2029 01:41:01.239 --> 01:41:04.119 because an international jail sale doesn't really sound like the spot. 2030 01:41:04.159 --> 01:41:06.800 But if you're gonna get arrested internationally, maybe Sweden is 2031 01:41:06.800 --> 01:41:07.720 probably the place to do it. 2032 01:41:07.760 --> 01:41:09.680 And I could use a few months in a Swedish 2033 01:41:09.680 --> 01:41:11.079 gel every once in a while. It was so nice. 2034 01:41:11.199 --> 01:41:14.640 There were nice people, the leads are awesome. But don't gamble, kids. 2035 01:41:14.680 --> 01:41:16.920 I'll just tell you, gambling not good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2036 01:41:17.000 --> 01:41:18.600 I mean there's a reason why they build a new 2037 01:41:18.640 --> 01:41:21.000 casino every week in the desert because we're all losing 2038 01:41:21.039 --> 01:41:23.640 our money when we try to gamble, whether it's on 2039 01:41:23.680 --> 01:41:27.439 sports or at tables entertainment purposes only.

SEASON i think the luck is coming our. 2330 01:53:55.199 --> 01:53:57.000 Way we're going to stay, healthy, right the breaks are 2331 01:53:57.000 --> 01:53:59.239 going to go, away because sometimes that doesn't. Happen sometimes 2332 01:53:59.279 --> 01:54:00.920 you get a double wam where you know the ball 2333 01:54:01.000 --> 01:54:02.920 isn't bounce you away and you get. HURT i feel 2334 01:54:02.960 --> 01:54:04.439 like this is our, year AND i think we got 2335 01:54:04.439 --> 01:54:07.079 a good. Quarterback he's, poised you. Know that's the WORD 2336 01:54:07.119 --> 01:54:09.279 i like to use with. Him he's. Poised and obviously 2337 01:54:09.319 --> 01:54:11.880 we Got Morgan. Scalley, okay we got Coach. Witt Morgan, 2338 01:54:11.920 --> 01:54:14.680 scalley we Got Jason. BECK i like our three headed monster. 2339 01:54:14.760 --> 01:54:16.520 THERE i think those three guys are as good as 2340 01:54:16.560 --> 01:54:18.800 anyone in that. CONFERENCE i really believe. 2341 01:54:18.800 --> 01:54:20.840 That, yeah, No i'm with. You we Had morgan on 2342 01:54:21.000 --> 01:54:23.359 last last. Hour it's good to catch up with him 2343 01:54:23.359 --> 01:54:26.399 for a little. Bit do you Think morgan is chomping 2344 01:54:26.439 --> 01:54:30.039 at the bit to take? OVER i didn't want to 2345 01:54:30.079 --> 01:54:33.199 ask him. That and, look, Obviously Coach wit is Coach, 2346 01:54:33.239 --> 01:54:35.039 wit and he has earned the right to tell us 2347 01:54:35.119 --> 01:54:37.720 when he's. Done BUT i have to imagine at some, 2348 01:54:37.840 --> 01:54:39.960 point if you've been told like you're next for a 2349 01:54:40.039 --> 01:54:40.239 lot of. 2350 01:54:40.319 --> 01:54:42.239 Years at some point you want to be. Next so 2351 01:54:43.199 --> 01:54:45.439 after we win all our games this year and we 2352 01:54:45.479 --> 01:54:47.119 go to the playoff and have a great, season right 2353 01:54:47.159 --> 01:54:49.239 when we have a reunion of this team in ten, 2354 01:54:49.319 --> 01:54:51.920 years we need to sit those two guys down and let's, 2355 01:54:51.920 --> 01:54:54.479 say let's have a real. Conversations what was really going 2356 01:54:54.520 --> 01:54:56.920 through your head right before we've? Won Coach, Skelly, yeah 2357 01:54:56.960 --> 01:54:58.319 AND i think we can all feel in a read 2358 01:54:58.319 --> 01:55:00.680 between the lines there you probably wants to be the head. 2359 01:55:00.720 --> 01:55:03.159 Coach BUT i think he. Understands you, know this happened. 2360 01:55:03.199 --> 01:55:07.359 Before Remember John, peace of, course coach Brought John pace 2361 01:55:07.439 --> 01:55:10.479 back After klane left for one, season AND i always 2362 01:55:10.520 --> 01:55:13.399 reference that he did it and it worked out. Right 2363 01:55:13.520 --> 01:55:15.840 morgan ended up taking a lot of that work and 2364 01:55:15.880 --> 01:55:19.159 doing most of the. Work in my, opinion Probably john's. 2365 01:55:19.279 --> 01:55:21.199 OLD i Think john was in his late sixties at that. 2366 01:55:21.199 --> 01:55:24.800 Point but, anyways it's not the same exact. Thing but, 2367 01:55:25.279 --> 01:55:28.279 Again morgan's gonna have his. Time at the same, TIME 2368 01:55:28.319 --> 01:55:31.399 i wouldn't be surprised if somebody tries to poach. Him 2369 01:55:32.039 --> 01:55:34.199 another team tried to make him an. Offer, dude if 2370 01:55:34.239 --> 01:55:37.119 you're running a top ten defense every every, year you're 2371 01:55:37.119 --> 01:55:39.880 gonna eventually someone's gonna offer you enough money where you're 2372 01:55:39.880 --> 01:55:41.680 gonna think about. It at least at LEAST i. 2373 01:55:41.720 --> 01:55:45.159 Would, YEAH i mean it's inter. Like there have been 2374 01:55:45.239 --> 01:55:49.119 rumors that LIKE sc wanted him as their. Decoordinator there 2375 01:55:49.119 --> 01:55:52.520 have been rumors that some smaller schools when he was 2376 01:55:52.800 --> 01:55:55.319 a little bit, younger wanted him to take over as 2377 01:55:55.319 --> 01:55:58.359 a head. Coach and, look there is preston for. This 2378 01:55:58.479 --> 01:56:01.720 there have been other quote head coach isn't. Waiting they 2379 01:56:01.800 --> 01:56:04.159 just got sick of waiting and wanted to be a head, 2380 01:56:04.159 --> 01:56:05.600 coach and so it took opportunities. 2381 01:56:05.600 --> 01:56:08.479 Elsewhere do you Remember Texas Mac brown and, yeah man 2382 01:56:08.600 --> 01:56:11.560 Must chant that's.

GUYS i 2385 01:56:18.319 --> 01:56:21.439 Think Kyle morgan basically raised me WHEN i was twenty. 2386 01:56:21.439 --> 01:56:23.960 One they made me into, it not as a crazy 2387 01:56:24.000 --> 01:56:26.039 person AS i could have. Been they smoothed me. Out 2388 01:56:26.079 --> 01:56:29.439 but not enough talk About kyle. TOO i Think kyle 2389 01:56:30.279 --> 01:56:32.920 his game in game decision making right is as good 2390 01:56:32.920 --> 01:56:34.840 as anyone. There, ever there's ever been in the, game he, 2391 01:56:34.840 --> 01:56:38.840 said a few, fumbles but not. Really the only ONE 2392 01:56:38.840 --> 01:56:42.319 i can think of is That washington game right years. 2393 01:56:42.319 --> 01:56:44.880 Ago someone will remind me about this with the exact 2394 01:56:44.920 --> 01:56:48.399 situation but time out and then they scored on some. Players, 2395 01:56:48.720 --> 01:56:50.600 yeah that's about the only. Time and even THAT i 2396 01:56:50.600 --> 01:56:52.680 would have done the same. Thing this guy is a 2397 01:56:52.720 --> 01:56:55.239 master of in game decision. Making and then you Got, 2398 01:56:55.239 --> 01:56:57.520 morgan who's a genius on, defense and SO i think 2399 01:56:57.560 --> 01:56:59.119 he's probably waiting to see.

SO i 2468 01:59:59.680 --> 02:00:03.279 don't even know Of. Kyle and some days you want to, 2469 02:00:03.319 --> 02:00:06.319 coach some days you. DON'T i kind of retired from, 2470 02:00:06.399 --> 02:00:08.359 coaching AND i was very not even close to these 2471 02:00:08.359 --> 02:00:09.800 guys as the, resume BUT i had done it for 2472 02:00:09.800 --> 02:00:11.119 a few years AND i JUST i didn't want to 2473 02:00:11.119 --> 02:00:14.119 do it. Anymore, yeah and even Now i'm not really coaching, 2474 02:00:14.119 --> 02:00:16.840 Now i'm general. Managing but sometimes it happens that, way 2475 02:00:17.479 --> 02:00:18.920 at least in my own. LIFE i only speak for. 2476 02:00:19.000 --> 02:00:20.520 MYSELF i woke a couple of MORNING i don't want 2477 02:00:20.520 --> 02:00:24.439 to coach, anymore and that may come, back But kyle 2478 02:00:24.479 --> 02:00:26.159 may have that one. Day could, be it could be 2479 02:00:26.199 --> 02:00:27.920 at the end of the. Season it could. Be he's 2480 02:00:27.960 --> 02:00:29.760 not that. Old, no we'll. 2481 02:00:29.760 --> 02:00:32.079 See and the other thing about, that like he's not 2482 02:00:32.199 --> 02:00:35.039 that old and he's young for a sixty five year, 2483 02:00:35.079 --> 02:00:38.199 Old like he keeps himself in good. Shape he does 2484 02:00:38.239 --> 02:00:40.520 not look like he's aging at. All and every TIME 2485 02:00:40.560 --> 02:00:42.119 i see him or top to, him he has that 2486 02:00:42.159 --> 02:00:43.640 same energy that he did when you were. 2487 02:00:43.640 --> 02:00:46.159 Playing he's, sharp, Man he's still sharp as, attack, right 2488 02:00:46.159 --> 02:00:48.239 AND i think he's evolving with this nil and he's 2489 02:00:48.239 --> 02:00:52.039 got an unbelievable. Staff so it's just there's a lot of, 2490 02:00:52.119 --> 02:00:54.600 drama all, right this is this is there's storylines, here, 2491 02:00:54.600 --> 02:00:56.640 okay and what's going to? Happen?

THAT i don't 2521 02:02:05.640 --> 02:02:07.439 Think kyle's anywhere close to. That, No, no not that 2522 02:02:07.560 --> 02:02:08.079 we're close to. 2523 02:02:08.119 --> 02:02:10.079 THAT i, mean, really that's my, Point, like if he 2524 02:02:10.319 --> 02:02:12.640 wanted to do this for another, three four or five, 2525 02:02:12.760 --> 02:02:14.680 years he's fully capable of doing. 2526 02:02:14.720 --> 02:02:16.920 IT i don't think anybody argues. That just about In 2527 02:02:16.920 --> 02:02:19.199 swedish they, say, orca does he really have the, effort 2528 02:02:19.239 --> 02:02:21.119 does he want to put the effort into does he 2529 02:02:21.159 --> 02:02:24.000 want to spend the? Time? Yeah and he seems sharp 2530 02:02:24.000 --> 02:02:26.000 as attack to. Me so it's just a lot of. 2531 02:02:26.039 --> 02:02:27.880 Storylines what if THE, oc what if we have a 2532 02:02:27.880 --> 02:02:31.079 top ten? Offense, okay then THE oc is going to 2533 02:02:31.119 --> 02:02:32.279 get looked at it and it's just out and it's 2534 02:02:32.279 --> 02:02:34.920 a natural. Progression and SO i could see a thing, 2535 02:02:34.960 --> 02:02:38.039 where you, know both, coaches both coordinators could leave at 2536 02:02:38.079 --> 02:02:40.600 the end of the.

Of utah we we've produced some monster 2655 02:07:38.640 --> 02:07:41.119 guys that CAN and, I, think hellodi, you know it's 2656 02:07:41.199 --> 02:07:43.720 kind of the standard there when you when you think, 2657 02:07:43.720 --> 02:07:45.800 about guys we might have two of those guys on. 2658 02:07:45.840 --> 02:07:48.880 This roster that's wild to think. About it, utah man. 2659 02:07:48.920 --> 02:07:53.840 Tell me, you know you you were mainly a Linebacker, 2660 02:07:54.600 --> 02:07:56.960 for utah but you were did You Play? 2661 02:07:57.000 --> 02:08:00.720 LITTLE deanna I played danna on? Third down? Third downs 2662 02:08:00.800 --> 02:08:02.960 or if we played a ten or eleven personnel TEAM 2663 02:08:03.039 --> 02:08:06.680 and i played. The, End okay but to, your point 2664 02:08:06.800 --> 02:08:09.600 defensive end is a. Fighting position it's just fighting right 2665 02:08:09.720 --> 02:08:12.520 offensive tackle and d d n's you fight each other 2666 02:08:12.560 --> 02:08:14.399 for an. Entire, game yeah if you're It's. 2667 02:08:14.439 --> 02:08:14.479 The. 2668 02:08:14.520 --> 02:08:17.199 Gladiators Okay so i'm kind of a more off the. 2669 02:08:17.199 --> 02:08:20.720 Ball Guy But john, PA's Right And kyle whittingham that 2670 02:08:20.960 --> 02:08:24.039 the Greatness. Of kyle they they made me. Get, tough 2671 02:08:24.640 --> 02:08:27.279 no you're gonna, do, This dude You're gonna you're gonna 2672 02:08:27.279 --> 02:08:30.159 Go Against zane beatles every. Single day and it was. 2673 02:08:30.239 --> 02:08:33.199 Refiner spire we sharpened. Each other Caleb schlutter, off right 2674 02:08:33.279 --> 02:08:34.880 used to head by him in, the, FACE right i 2675 02:08:34.920 --> 02:08:37.479 had no chance to beat. These guys so you start 2676 02:08:37.520 --> 02:08:39.600 becoming kind of, a, Dog right and so you can 2677 02:08:39.640 --> 02:08:42.079 imagine how our defensive line is. Gonna, look well that's 2678 02:08:42.079 --> 02:08:42.840 whase they're. Training. 2679 02:08:42.840 --> 02:08:44.840 Against, dude, yeah well and THAT'S what i wanted to, 2680 02:08:44.880 --> 02:08:48.319 ask you because on a couple of different occasions, last 2681 02:08:48.359 --> 02:08:50.680 year after the B y u game was one, of 2682 02:08:50.720 --> 02:08:55.520 Them coach witt, himself said we are losing the battles and, 2683 02:08:55.600 --> 02:08:58.760 the trenches which is not something You hear kyle say 2684 02:08:58.800 --> 02:09:01.600 about his. His, line now there were some health issues 2685 02:09:01.680 --> 02:09:05.640 last Year With logan fano and others, going down so 2686 02:09:05.840 --> 02:09:07.520 all of us are on the same page that this 2687 02:09:07.600 --> 02:09:09.960 old line is going to be. Incredibly dominant but what 2688 02:09:09.960 --> 02:09:11.319 about the. Other side what have you what have you 2689 02:09:11.359 --> 02:09:13.119 seen from The front on the, other side. 2690 02:09:13.000 --> 02:09:14.920 There's a guy on there who's about as old as 2691 02:09:15.439 --> 02:09:19.319 could Be, VIA mahey i coached him, all right that 2692 02:09:19.439 --> 02:09:21.239 was a long. TIME ago i think we recruited him in. 2693 02:09:21.279 --> 02:09:24.640 Twenty eighteen he's. In there he's, the center is the 2694 02:09:24.640 --> 02:09:26.359 heart and soul, that defense in my opinion's the guy 2695 02:09:26.359 --> 02:09:28.159 who's been in. The lungs then They, Got, Barton okay 2696 02:09:28.399 --> 02:09:30.119 barton's going to be all over the field. This year 2697 02:09:30.439 --> 02:09:34.560 then they got The other. Fano boy so those three guys, 2698 02:09:34.560 --> 02:09:39.199 in particular, old strong, great athletes and they're training against 2699 02:09:39.279 --> 02:09:42.640 these monsters on the other side. On paper we should light, it, 2700 02:09:42.720 --> 02:09:44.560 Up dude i'm telling we should be lighting these. Dudes. 2701 02:09:44.640 --> 02:09:46.479 Up man you remember, twenty eighteen we were playing cover 2702 02:09:46.520 --> 02:09:49.399 two on first and second Down With John Pennasini lucky. 2703 02:09:49.439 --> 02:09:52.079 Foe two we were. Killing, people man that's the TYPE 2704 02:09:52.079 --> 02:09:53.960 of i see that type. Of personnel we don't even 2705 02:09:53.960 --> 02:09:55.560 have to blitz. That much we'll go we'll light you 2706 02:09:55.720 --> 02:09:58.079 with a four. Man rush and those are the defenses 2707 02:09:58.079 --> 02:09:59.880 are scary you because then what do you? Do do 2708 02:10:00.520 --> 02:10:02.479 we were playing cover two on, first down, second down 2709 02:10:02.520 --> 02:10:05.000 giving up three and three and a half. A down 2710 02:10:05.159 --> 02:10:08.439 we were, killing. People scaly we had those guys, dialed, 2711 02:10:08.479 --> 02:10:11.119 In MAN so I think i'm looking for a repeat 2712 02:10:11.119 --> 02:10:14.079 performance twenty eighteen defense maybe a. Little, better okay, ALL 2713 02:10:14.159 --> 02:10:15.479 right i do like. 2714 02:10:15.520 --> 02:10:20.479 The confidence what about the BALANCE before i set you loose? On, Offense, 2715 02:10:20.520 --> 02:10:23.239 speaking look they've got two running backs they like. A 2716 02:10:23.239 --> 02:10:26.359 lot they've got a quarterback that can run looking like, 2717 02:10:26.399 --> 02:10:29.399 the wind and we saw. LAST year i just continue 2718 02:10:29.399 --> 02:10:31.880 to be a little Skeptical because devin's passing numbers weren't 2719 02:10:31.920 --> 02:10:33.720 great a. Year AGO and i just don't know about these. 2720 02:10:33.720 --> 02:10:35.000 WIDE receivers i just don't know. 2721 02:10:35.039 --> 02:10:37.760 About, them well that's always the Thing.

The, saints yeah but we've 2725 02:10:44.880 --> 02:10:46.960 had a history of pulling receivers out of our. Rear, 2726 02:10:47.039 --> 02:10:48.800 ent okay when the time, is needed we've pulled, him. 2727 02:10:48.800 --> 02:10:50.920 Out right we've had a few of. Those guys there's 2728 02:10:50.920 --> 02:10:52.800 this kid. NUMBER eighteen i don't know, his name but 2729 02:10:52.840 --> 02:10:56.039 he transferred in late or he's a. Recent guy the 2730 02:10:56.079 --> 02:10:58.479 all kid, can. RUN right i saw him. At practice 2731 02:10:58.479 --> 02:11:01.199 he looks. PRETTY good i think we got this. SLOT 2732 02:11:01.239 --> 02:11:04.000 receiver i. Don't, KNOW sorry i don't know. The names 2733 02:11:04.600 --> 02:11:06.640 light skin guy slot received movie is a white guy slot. 2734 02:11:06.680 --> 02:11:10.720 Receiver heat. He's good but the quarterback in, the system 2735 02:11:10.720 --> 02:11:12.439 to me is what really is? Gonna work my only 2736 02:11:12.479 --> 02:11:14.640 question mark is it? Running back and no one's talking 2737 02:11:14.680 --> 02:11:17.119 about the tight. End room fred's got four. Of them 2738 02:11:17.159 --> 02:11:18.760 fred's got four, of, them dude we had four of 2739 02:11:18.760 --> 02:11:20.960 them before We had remember We, had cole We, had 2740 02:11:21.000 --> 02:11:24.239 brandt we had, this Guy Remember, dalton kincage and so. 2741 02:11:24.279 --> 02:11:27.359 You have we had some guys that that could. Do 2742 02:11:27.359 --> 02:11:29.199 it but the running BACK room i still don't. KNOW 2743 02:11:29.239 --> 02:11:31.239 about I think mark's gonna have those guys ready. To 2744 02:11:31.279 --> 02:11:34.399 go we always seem to have a, good Back but spence. Running, 2745 02:11:34.439 --> 02:11:35.880 back right if we can run the ball for five 2746 02:11:35.960 --> 02:11:37.960 yards of carry on first and second down six yards, 2747 02:11:37.960 --> 02:11:39.560 of carry? Watch out do you. 2748 02:11:39.560 --> 02:11:41.479 Think we'll see? Balance though because it part of me 2749 02:11:41.479 --> 02:11:43.720 feels like we're gonna see, a rush. Heavy attack they 2750 02:11:43.800 --> 02:11:46.439 ran for three thousand last Year In. New, mexico YEAH 2751 02:11:46.439 --> 02:11:49.239 so i think the coach would. Like, That right we're gonna, 2752 02:11:49.239 --> 02:11:53.000 have uptempo spread. Run game, but again, this quarterback. He's, 2753 02:11:53.039 --> 02:11:54.960 accurate right last year. 2754 02:11:55.039 --> 02:11:57.920 Was whatever but with this offensive line and this, RUN 2755 02:11:58.000 --> 02:12:00.359 game i think we're GONNA have i.
