Speaker 3: That happened like in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: I think it was how long ago. Yeah, he's fought back.
Speaker 2: I know that he was.
Speaker 3: He was a coach with with Regel. Remember he went
Speaker 3: to to with Regel to Idaho State I think it
Speaker 3: was or but I just was State Idaho and then
Speaker 3: this all came out. I liked I covered him here
Speaker 3: and he was one of my favorite players, Anthony Jamie
Speaker 3: would give me grief about it because he was so
Speaker 3: he went to Notre Dame, decided transfer, came here and
Speaker 3: was hyper just kind of a hyper HD, you know guy,
Speaker 3: And and now this happened. It's that crazy him and
Speaker 3: Chance Comanchi.

Speaker 2: up for murder, crazy stuff. But uh, you know he
Speaker 2: he's from Phoenix, right, from Phoenix, from Phoenix, went to
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, didn't make it there, came back here playing
Speaker 2: an Yeah.
Speaker 3: Very talented player, yeah, just not focused, you know he was.
Speaker 3: He twists positions. I think he was the running back
Speaker 3: in any.
Speaker 4: He was, he was a wide receiver, wide receiver and
Speaker 4: then switched.
Speaker 2: To defensive back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're trying to find a spot for him. Talented talent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's too bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah to the NFL Jaalen Ramsey and the Miami Dolphins
Speaker 4: everycent agreement on a three year contract extension worth twenty
Speaker 4: four point one million dollars per begging him the uh
Speaker 4: highest paid corner in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Wow again, you know what are you gonna say? Guy's
Speaker 2: making a fortune. He's a good football player. Uh, that
Speaker 2: there there was a thing that was it and he's
Speaker 2: denied it since then. But the other guy who's like
Speaker 2: top defensive back, they were saying that he was trying.
Speaker 2: He was demanding a contract worth one dollar more than
Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey. And then he came out and denied that
Speaker 2: that he ever said that. But who is it? I
Speaker 2: can't remember. But anyways, you know the defensive backs, wide receivers,
Speaker 2: quarterbacks are making all the money, man, they're making all
Speaker 2: the money.
Speaker 4: Even kickers too.
Speaker 2: And kickers. Yeah, justin Tucker on my fantasy team last
Speaker 2: night and miss his first field goal of the year,
Speaker 2: a right out of the box. He misses the feld.
Speaker 2: What the hell are you doing?
Speaker 3: You had them to have him to Oh yeah, it's
Speaker 3: funny because they were saying he's not the guy that
Speaker 3: used to be.
Speaker 2: Well and they're saying he never misses right and then boom,
Speaker 2: he missed right right out of the box.
Speaker 4: So it's starting to show that from fifty plus he
Speaker 4: can miss anything inside of fifty automatic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
Speaker 4: The miss was close, but miss is still.
Speaker 2: A miss, right.
Speaker 3: Did you see you watch your game up? See the
Speaker 3: number one from Kansas City. Fantastic, fantastic, two touches or
Speaker 3: how many touches two touches for sure touchdowns, I mean
Speaker 3: he had that.
Speaker 4: His first touch went for thirty yeah, run did run, yeah,
Speaker 4: jet sweep or whatever, and then blown coverage by the
Speaker 4: Ravens and wide open.
Speaker 3: He looks like team out there has wide to open
Speaker 3: as he.
Speaker 4: Was really did. The other extension in the NFL of
Speaker 4: Steelers and tight end Pat Firemouth, I've agreed to a
Speaker 4: four year, forty eight point four million dollar extension. So
Speaker 4: good day for any everyone getting extension in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, Caddy man, all kinds of money flying around
Speaker 2: over there, for sure.
Speaker 4: The tight end for the Titans, Josh, while it is
Speaker 4: gonna be one of the first players to wear the
Speaker 4: Guardian caps in a regular season NFL game.
Speaker 2: The Guardian Caps.
Speaker 4: So they wear those on top.
Speaker 2: He's gonna wear that in a game.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be one of the first.
Speaker 2: I'm as surprised that they're allowed to do that.
Speaker 3: You might go that way eventually, just because.
Speaker 4: Just too many injuries, questions and even the aftermath. All right,
Speaker 4: just like we talked about, the NFL season started off
Speaker 4: last night with the Chiefs and the Ravens. Chiefs prevailing
Speaker 4: by a toe.
Speaker 2: That was a really good game. You know. Look, I mean,
Speaker 2: people know the Ravens are not you know what they
Speaker 2: were playing in Kansas City. They were within a toe
Speaker 2: of game getting that game into overtime. You can't say
Speaker 2: one thing or another about whether the Ravens are any
Speaker 2: good or not any good. I mean, they made a
Speaker 2: lot of self inflicted you know, mistakes. But that was
Speaker 2: a really good game between two really good teams. You know. Uh,
Speaker 2: Jackson was really good. Pat Mahomes and Patrick Mahlmes was good.
Speaker 2: It was it was really really it was a really
Speaker 2: well played, really good game, and it was a lot
Speaker 2: of fun. I said, I mean I turned it on
Speaker 2: and I sat there and I watched the whole thing.
Speaker 2: And I rarely do that for an NFL game, and
Speaker 2: I'll get up and I'll do stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I ended up turning it off justuse I thought
Speaker 4: it was over. I'm looking, Yes, they were. I'm blinking here.
Speaker 4: I forgot what I was going to say.
Speaker 3: Sometimes, Lauren, we're allergic. They you guys will get memory
Speaker 3: losses to close proximity with us. You two forget stuff
Speaker 3: that's witnessed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a bad moment for me. But and
Speaker 4: I we have the Packers and the Eagles playing in
Speaker 4: Brazil by fifteen kickoffs?
Speaker 2: Again, what the hell are they doing in Brazil? I'm
Speaker 2: sorry I ran on that yesterday, so I don't need
Speaker 2: to do it again, which just makes no sense. Why
Speaker 2: we did, why they're paying.
Speaker 3: Someone said text me, you needed to have a Snickers
Speaker 3: because you were a little angry yesterday.
Speaker 2: Angry. I guess I was hungry.
Speaker 4: You're not yourself when you're hungry.
Speaker 2: I just made it just didn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 2: Why they're it still doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3: And they're gonna go back. It looks like they're gonna
Speaker 3: go back, he said. Goodell said, yesterday, he hinted to it.
Speaker 2: At least.
Speaker 4: I remember what I was going to say, that the
Speaker 4: game was probably going to end in regulation because the
Speaker 4: Ravens were ready to go for.
Speaker 2: They were going to go for two.
Speaker 4: That's right, Yeah, and that I thought they were going
Speaker 4: to get.
Speaker 2: And that's added to when I was losing my mind
Speaker 2: because I knew that they you know, they, Yeah, the
Speaker 2: game was going to end there and the Ravens were
Speaker 2: going to cover that. I was, yes, Now, I reminded
Speaker 2: me of that.
Speaker 4: And like we said this week, one of the NFL
Speaker 4: got some good matchups. This weekend is going to the Browns,
Speaker 4: Rams and Lions we'll talk about later, and the Jets
Speaker 4: and the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: That's a good one Monday night looking forward to that.
Speaker 3: Is it one of your games?
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm not playing that game. It's a tough game.
Speaker 2: I don't Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be a fun game.
Speaker 2: I'm sure i'll throw something on it. But you know,
Speaker 2: because my wife is still out of town, so she
Speaker 2: doesn't know, there's no idea. But I have nothing to say. Again, Steve,
Speaker 2: I'm killing it. I heard another part ofay last night.
Speaker 2: I'm already up on the season, like you know, a
Speaker 2: week and a week in one game, and I'm up
Speaker 2: like eighty bucks or something like that. I'm just a
Speaker 2: couple of a bunch of five and ten dollars bets.
Speaker 2: I'm having fun. I'm killing it.
Speaker 3: You're in a profession, Juan Lauren. And if someone tells
Speaker 3: you something, check it out. Make sure that he's not taking.
Speaker 4: I'm just glad he's having fun. He's not eighty right now. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'll take it.
Speaker 2: There you go. I'm neither angry nor angry.
Speaker 4: Well, hope hopefully Aaron Rodgers makes it out of the
Speaker 4: first game of the season this year last year is
Speaker 4: an another Monday Night foll.
Speaker 3: Apparently there's there's not a lot of love loss between
Speaker 3: him and the rest of the people. Those chemistry issues.
Speaker 2: Oh in in New York.
Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting, imagine him being part of your team. You're
Speaker 3: gonna like him.
Speaker 2: No, he's weird. There you go, he's gotten weird and
Speaker 2: and it's like your quarterback can't be a weird dude. Well,
Speaker 2: there you have it, because then huddles get weird and.
Speaker 3: Stuff and they don't play as hard for you.
Speaker 2: There you go, there you go. There is that.
Speaker 4: To the college football world. Last week, the North Carolina
Speaker 4: starting quarterback By Johnson went out with the injury out
Speaker 4: for the season with the broken bay, but he did
Speaker 4: it out today that he's returning for the twenty twenty
Speaker 4: five season. He's anticipating to be ready to go for next.
Speaker 2: Year probably, and he's probably he'll probably get paid more
Speaker 2: in North Carolina right than he in the NFL. So yeah,
Speaker 2: good for him, makes sense. Yeah, you look, and that's right,
Speaker 2: and that's one of the good things about then. I
Speaker 2: yell Is said, Okay, you have a situation like that,
Speaker 2: you know it's not over.
Speaker 3: For right, it's not Back in the day when they
Speaker 3: had the insurance policies on their feet, right legs, right right.
Speaker 2: Us.
Speaker 4: He announced that they're going to be retiring Caleb Williams number.
Speaker 2: We saw that, we had that yesterday. Reggie Bush.
Speaker 3: Reggie Yes. So you asked him the question.
Speaker 2: You asked me, Okay, what of those two guys? And well,
Speaker 2: I don't know, but he's Reggie Bush. I mean I knew, Okay,
Speaker 2: who's okay, who's the better player?
Speaker 4: I think Reggie Bush, yeah, said I think it's a
Speaker 4: lot closer to I think people would think because Caleb Williams.
Speaker 2: Was he was good.
Speaker 4: He was really good talent.
Speaker 3: You saw it against But you're paying money to go
Speaker 3: see Reggie Bush. Oh yeah, I'm not sure you're going
Speaker 3: to go pay money to place just.
Speaker 2: See Caleb Williams. No, you're not.
Speaker 4: You're watching Ready Bush for a price, right.
Speaker 2: I mean you're gonna you're gonna, I mean you're gonna
Speaker 2: You're gonna either sit down and watch the game or
Speaker 2: you're gonna flip the you know, be flipping channels to
Speaker 2: go back and see what he's doing. You're gonna want
Speaker 2: to watch his team when he's got when they've got
Speaker 2: the ball.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, unless you're notre Dame fans stand for
Speaker 4: fan fan, you're gonna want to watch Reggie Bush not
Speaker 4: so much killer.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: There you go, Week two of college football kicking off
Speaker 4: this week with some good games, very good game. Texas
Speaker 4: going to Michigan. You got Arkansas going to Oklahoma State.
Speaker 3: I didn't see that. What's the spread on that one,
Speaker 3: Texas Michigan?
Speaker 2: It is seven Texas? Yes, Michigan. Yes, well I didn't
Speaker 2: touch that one. I'm okay with that, big baby.
Speaker 3: I'm okay with that you did.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying, yeah, he.
Speaker 4: Got a good rivalry game. Iowa State going to Iowa's.
Speaker 3: A pretty first one of the three wins, first one
Speaker 3: to ten wins exactly. It doesn't have to do it.
Speaker 4: You got tennis See in North Carolina.
Speaker 3: State to the day. Probably.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and say I got Tennessee
Speaker 4: big over the real Yeah.
Speaker 2: Why is that? He's right, she's gonna I'm not touching it.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna touch.
Speaker 4: I think Tennessee is that talented this year yeah, I
Speaker 4: got a good quarterback. No, I don't necessarily trust and
Speaker 4: she State right now? So I got I got Tennessee.
Speaker 4: Any Boys State going to Oregon, they got boys You
Speaker 4: State supposed to be the group of five, right.
Speaker 2: Boise State was one of my teams last week, and
Speaker 2: they didn't cover and they were unimpressive, and I hate
Speaker 2: those guys for now. But Oregon was not impressive against
Speaker 2: Idaho either, So that that's one of those games where
Speaker 2: you don't know what you got and I just didn't
Speaker 2: even get near it. M what's spread? Well, you don't
Speaker 2: want to worry about it. It's like ten and a half,
Speaker 2: sixteen and a half, no twenty, I don't remember.
Speaker 4: Yeah, bye in Arizona.
Speaker 2: Four Oregon by twenty. That's just a game that you
Speaker 2: just go because Oregon could blow him out or Boys
Speaker 2: State could beat him.
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be closer than that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well then funny, Well, then take up Boise steak.
Speaker 4: There you go. Uh to Arizona Athletic News. The Arizona
Speaker 4: volleyball team as starting off their season five and no
Speaker 4: another win against Prairie View A and MS today in
Speaker 4: the Alabama State Tournament.
Speaker 2: I mean that's not bad because they were they were
Speaker 2: not very good last year. They were struggled with teams

Speaker 2: were saying they didn't know if Cherida Stubbs was the
Speaker 2: one the answer, you know to Dave Rubio, and you know,
Speaker 2: they're off two good starts, so good for them.
Speaker 4: They Alabama tomorrow nine o'clock, all right, so good luck

Speaker 2: All right, man, Okay, good stuff now, you know, getting
Speaker 2: back to getting back to that that game last night,
Speaker 2: it was just O. Look like I know, I said yesterday,
Speaker 2: I really wish a game like that would be on Sunday.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's like you went home, turn on
Speaker 2: the game, sat there and watched the game. It was
Speaker 2: a good game. It was close enough all along that
Speaker 2: you didn't know who was going to win. I had
Speaker 2: some stuff on it, and so, you know, my interest
Speaker 2: was peaked, and it was just fun to see, you know,
Speaker 2: an NFL game that was meaningful. You know, it's early
Speaker 2: enough in the season that neither team gets killed by it,
Speaker 2: so it was it was good. I had fun watching
Speaker 2: that game. I really did.

Speaker 1: fourteen fifty.
Speaker 3: Hey, welcome back to find the ball here on Fox
Speaker 3: Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera. He's Jagginsaus. Now on
Speaker 3: the phone, we have Eric Newman from the Arizona Daily
Speaker 3: Sun and flag Staff. Eric, how are you?
Speaker 12: I'm good. We're back into football season.
Speaker 3: Can't complain nice and nice? What's the weather up They're.
Speaker 12: Like, it's beautiful in flag Staff right now, man Sonny
Speaker 12: seventy five. We've been getting rain here and there, but
Speaker 12: you know, right now is the time to be up here.
Speaker 12: It'll get cold in the winter, but right.
Speaker 2: Now, betful good. It'll only be about one hundred and
Speaker 2: five on Saturday down here, so it should be fun.
Speaker 2: So tell us a little bit about what what happened
Speaker 2: last week. I know the team was that any of
Speaker 2: you played was very very much out. Man. You put
Speaker 2: a bunch of points on the board, But what were
Speaker 2: we able to lean from what you think you saw
Speaker 2: for what you did see last week?
Speaker 12: Yeah, so they've put Lincoln and the Naia Independent School
Speaker 12: that they don't have their own stadium or anything like that.
Speaker 12: NAU won sixty six to six, and it you know,
Speaker 12: it could have been even more. They got basically their
Speaker 12: third and fourth units in and that was kind of
Speaker 12: the thing that coach Brian right, their new coach, was
Speaker 12: happy about. Is it's hard to gain much in terms of,
Speaker 12: you know, knowing exactly what the team is things like that.
Speaker 12: But they got a lot of playing time and so
Speaker 12: you could actually use the game plan things like that
Speaker 12: and get some guys familiarity with a new system in
Speaker 12: an actual game.
Speaker 3: So, Eric, you've covered the team for a while now.
Speaker 3: You saw the team come down here and beat Arizona.
Speaker 3: You saw them lose last year. What type of team
Speaker 3: is this one compared to the past ones.
Speaker 12: So it's interesting you say that because it's a whole
Speaker 12: new team, a whole new staff. There's not basically a
Speaker 12: single coach that was on their staff the last couple
Speaker 12: of years, and it's a new roster, and so I
Speaker 12: think they've got a chance to compete in the FCS
Speaker 12: and the Big Sky, But it's really hard to tell
Speaker 12: because they haven't played anybody at their own caliber, or
Speaker 12: especially at anybody at Arizona's caliber yet, So it's, you know,
Speaker 12: really kind of an unknown. I don't know we can
Speaker 12: expect to compete with Arizona. I think it's two levels
Speaker 12: of competition right now, but you never know.
Speaker 2: But what what do we know about about the new
Speaker 2: coach and the type of you know, his schemes, right,
Speaker 2: does he throw the ball around a lot? Is he
Speaker 2: trying to run the ball? What do they do defensively?
Speaker 2: Those kinds of things? You know, what, what what's it
Speaker 2: going to look like for us tomorrow night?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 12: So Brian Wright, he was a great Division two coach
Speaker 12: and a really great conference there. He has a quarterback
Speaker 12: in type Penny and that came over from Pittsburgh State
Speaker 12: where he came from, who was a kind of sometimes
Speaker 12: a starter there and he's really mobile, and so they
Speaker 12: use a lot of shotgun run the ball out of
Speaker 12: that mobile quarterbacks, a lot of you know, potential option
Speaker 12: plays things like that. The defense is kind of not
Speaker 12: where I'm exactly sure, because you know, they were able
Speaker 12: to play a pretty much a base defense asive so
Speaker 12: Lincoln team was outmanned, and I'm you know, nobody like
Speaker 12: McMillan was on the Oaklanders team or THEFTA or anything
Speaker 12: like that, so I expect the offense to try to
Speaker 12: do a bunch of different stuff. Defense is more of.
Speaker 3: A question, Well there you have it, right, we'll see
Speaker 3: you from week to week. Holme. Well, there's always gotten
Speaker 3: prepared for that type of quarterback.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and you know, and I mean look, I
Speaker 2: think what what you often see is that, you know,
Speaker 2: coaches come in, they maybe feel out man so they
Speaker 2: they try and do things like run you know, a
Speaker 2: wide open offense, throw the ball all over the place
Speaker 2: and make you cover them so that that sort of
Speaker 2: gives them the best chance because they're not going to
Speaker 2: run you over and stuff like that. So that's kind
Speaker 2: of where I'm trying to get at. It's still okay,
Speaker 2: you know, Are they going to come throw the ball
Speaker 2: fifty or sixty times and that kind of thing.
Speaker 12: Yeah, if it's throwing a running I assume the Terbeck
Speaker 12: will have the ball a lot. It won't be a
Speaker 12: ton of just turn around the hand the ball off
Speaker 12: type of thing. Yes, I mean, you're absolutely right. The
Speaker 12: size of the linemen and the power up there is
Speaker 12: a whole different thing, and so it'd be really silly
Speaker 12: to expect and they use offensive line to come in
Speaker 12: and just bowl over anybody or play that power game.
Speaker 12: I think you're absolutely right, but they'll try to spread
Speaker 12: them out.
Speaker 2: But you mentioned when you're at the very top that
Speaker 2: you thought they could or will be competitive in the league.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, the Big Sky is one of the best,
Speaker 12: it's not the best conferences in the FCS. They had
Speaker 12: a national runner up last year. They've had two national
Speaker 12: runner ups in a row. Some really talented teams up there.
Speaker 12: But you know there's a chance they still, despite a
Speaker 12: disappointing season, got fourth in the standings from their own
Speaker 12: conference last year, and so you know it'll be yet
Speaker 12: to see what it's like against their own league, but
Speaker 12: there's a chance that they could be competitive.
Speaker 3: So I should have known this, But so what happened
Speaker 3: to last year's coach? Did he get fired?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 12: He at the end of his contract and they you know,
Speaker 12: it's essentially a firing now, not exactly in that terms.
Speaker 12: They just didn't renew his contract, and then with him
Speaker 12: went most of his staff. First Ball is now an
Speaker 12: assistant Debt Maasoo.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So you've been there a while now, and
Speaker 3: I've said this at my alma mater, the New Mexicos
Speaker 3: of the world, where it's it's if you don't do
Speaker 3: well right away, it's almost like it's a place to
Speaker 3: get fired, or you go to get fired, or just
Speaker 3: hopefully you do well enough to get the heck out.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, so part of the thing is that
Speaker 12: NAU doesn't have the athletic budget like a lot of
Speaker 12: these bigger schools do it. So most of the time
Speaker 12: they'll let their contracts run out and let something really,
Speaker 12: really terrible happens. They just don't have the money to,
Speaker 12: you know, Jimbo Fish or someone in pay millions of
Speaker 12: dollars to not coach, and so you know, they'll let
Speaker 12: them play it out unless it's really terrible. But yeah,
Speaker 12: I think the overwhelming opinion was that Chris Ball probably
Speaker 12: wasn't going to come back unless something great happened and
Speaker 12: then made a playoff.
Speaker 2: Runners many two song kids on the team this year.
Speaker 12: There so the big one is Daniel Orblado, who transferred
Speaker 12: over two years ago. He's been hurt, so I don't
Speaker 12: think he'll be able to play tomorrow. But then there's
Speaker 12: there's one or two others that are practice squad kids.
Speaker 12: Ryan Fontaine is a running back. I don't think he'll
Speaker 12: be in the starting lineup or anything, but those are
Speaker 12: kind of the two main ones.
Speaker 3: M Okay, we are surprised. I don't know if you
Speaker 3: follow this type of stuff, but we do. With the
Speaker 3: spread yesterday, Jay is telling me it was a forty five.
Speaker 2: Point forty four and a half yesterday and I was
Speaker 2: thirty five and a half. Did something happen over there?
Speaker 2: Because I don't know if anything happened over here.
Speaker 12: I mean not anything that I've heard, So, I mean
Speaker 12: that's a pretty drastic spread. I wonder if people just
Speaker 12: weren't sure exactly, you know, the betters weren't sure exactly
Speaker 12: what to expect or any There hasn't been any giant
Speaker 12: news like some you know, a six foot eight guy
Speaker 12: walking through the door or something like that that I
Speaker 12: know of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're not gonna be here with the team
Speaker 3: to cover the game, but I think you're how optimistic
Speaker 3: are you that they'll stay in the game.
Speaker 12: It's gonna be tough. I mean, Arizona is better than
Speaker 12: they've been in a long time, and NAU might be good,
Speaker 12: but it's just a different level of football. You know.
Speaker 12: Maybe it's the type of game where they can be,
Speaker 12: you know, competitive, So halftime and Arizona pulls away or
Speaker 12: something like that, but I don't think it's fair to
Speaker 12: expect NAU to win this game at all.
Speaker 3: So just Eric, you were here three years ago when
Speaker 3: any you did pull it off, and I'm sure you
Speaker 3: Jay's giving me the US snake out here, Oh the
Speaker 3: stink guys. So what was your thoughts when it happened
Speaker 3: that they pulled it off?
Speaker 12: So that game was crazy because they had a linebacker
Speaker 12: and Harrison B. Miller, who ended up being a grat
Speaker 12: assistant coach for a couple of years. He left with
Speaker 12: crick ball after this offseason, hit four and a hat
Speaker 12: tackles for loss and he was you know, a good linebacker.
Speaker 12: He was solid, but he was never somebody that was
Speaker 12: going to, you know, absolutely break open a game like that.
Speaker 12: And so it took you know, it took that, It
Speaker 12: took a pick six, It took a guy in r. J.
Speaker 12: Martinez who's now at Baylor as a quarterback to come
Speaker 12: in and you know, kind of stun some people. It
Speaker 12: took a ton of elements to win by two points,
Speaker 12: and you know, maybe Arizona's worst moment in a long time,
Speaker 12: with you know, a lot of their stuff that's been
Speaker 12: happening before that. It was just a ton of different
Speaker 12: elements all at once. And I don't think it's you know,
Speaker 12: it's tough to expect exactly that, but you never know.
Speaker 2: So who's going to catch our eye? Then on Saturday night.
Speaker 12: I'm excited for people to see what the running game
Speaker 12: looks like. NAU is expecting this season to kind of
Speaker 12: do a running back by committee. They had a guy
Speaker 12: named Seth Cromwell who came over from Missouri Western, a
Speaker 12: D two school and was the freshman of the year
Speaker 12: in their conference at like sixteen eighteen touchdowns something like that,
Speaker 12: and as part of a running back group, Darvon Hubbard
Speaker 12: from you know, a kind of local kid from Surprise
Speaker 12: who bounced around a couple of schools before ending up
Speaker 12: at NAU. Those are kind of the two main ones.
Speaker 12: They've got a kid named Juwan Evans who's a goal
Speaker 12: line back power both so you know, I don't know
Speaker 12: exactly how much they're going to turn around and run
Speaker 12: the ball, but they've got a different a guy.
Speaker 3: On this show, we talk a lot about the nil
Speaker 3: and obviously the impact and all that. How often do
Speaker 3: you write about it and has it impacted a school
Speaker 3: like NAU.
Speaker 12: It's hit and miss because you know, they don't have
Speaker 12: the the alumni donations more like a lot of big schools.
Speaker 12: But you'll see every once in a while somebody like,
Speaker 12: you know, a local restaurant or Carson cout is a
Speaker 12: center on the men's basketball team, and he is he's
Speaker 12: got a little partnership with the local Toyota uh and
Speaker 12: he's got a truck from them, and it's done some
Speaker 12: commercials and stuff like that. So it's you know, it's
Speaker 12: not these multi million dollar deals like you see other places,
Speaker 12: but there's certainly.
Speaker 2: Some of it very cool, good for those guys, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, there's a sizzler up there. Is there anybody
Speaker 2: that can you know, do a sizzler commercial? There isn't
Speaker 2: there a sizzler.
Speaker 12: There is a sizzler right near campus.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Wow? Is there like a Big Boys? Big Boys?
Speaker 2: Last time it wasn't flag stuff. I went there, I said,
Speaker 2: we're going to sizzler and we did. Wow.
Speaker 12: Not to make fun, it's just I love a great
Speaker 12: thing for the offensive line or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah about look creative?
Speaker 3: Yeah, where's the beef?
Speaker 2: Look creative with that stuff? Man, that's Wendy's. That's Wendy's.
Speaker 3: Come on, there's gonna be a Wendy's up there too.
Speaker 3: That's that's the beef on the front line.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens.
Speaker 3: So you have you know, I know this is still early,
Speaker 3: we have some time, but what type of prediction you have.
Speaker 12: I think Are's gonna wins pretty comfortably. I think it's
Speaker 12: something that you know, maybe it's ten points, fourteen points
Speaker 12: at halftime, more like twenty to twenty five at the
Speaker 12: end of the game.
Speaker 2: Okay, well again the lines thirty five and a half,
Speaker 2: you'll runder sixty one and a half, you think. Okay,
Speaker 2: question of the day, because this is gonna this This
Speaker 2: is gonna cost some money. Okay, question of the day, man,
Speaker 2: But I'll talk about it. Can can any of you
Speaker 2: put two touchdowns on the board.
Speaker 12: I think that's gonna be tough. I think, I mean
Speaker 12: last year they scored three points, and it's it's gonna
Speaker 12: be interesting there. The I mean I forgot to talk
Speaker 12: about with the defense earlier, a kid named Alex McLaughlin
Speaker 12: who was probably their best player defensively, maybe overall the
Speaker 12: last time they played Arizona. A sophomore safety out there,
Speaker 12: and you know, it might take him making some kind
Speaker 12: of crazy defensive play to give them awesome position. But
Speaker 12: you never No, it's it's again such an unknown with
Speaker 12: this offense because they have the capability and the players
Speaker 12: to do well, but it's it's a whole different level
Speaker 12: of football. So if I had to guess, I'd say no,
Speaker 12: but I guess you never know.
Speaker 2: All right, Well then okay, then I'm taking the under. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's only.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you're figuring maybe fifty to fourteen or whatever.
Speaker 2: Right right, So okay, yeah, all right, and yeah, I
Speaker 2: bet Arizona gets into the forties and you know, all right, Okay, good,
Speaker 2: all right, I got the under.
Speaker 12: So yeah, I think that's fair.
Speaker 3: So how how are you? Did you grow up there?
Speaker 3: How long have you been up there writing?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 12: I started here in twenty twenty one, I've I was
Speaker 12: in Phoenix for a few years covering high school sports
Speaker 12: and then moved up here in twenty twenty one for
Speaker 12: this job.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I was gonna ask you just covering any
Speaker 3: of you specifically? Is it a grind? Are you you're
Speaker 3: a one man band?
Speaker 12: Yes? I am so. I'll get some interns every once
Speaker 12: in a while. The yessay ease have been helpful to me.
Speaker 12: But you know, I'm covering all the football games even
Speaker 12: you know tomorrow won't be there, but I'll be covering
Speaker 12: it remotely. I'll get on the phone with Brian Wright
Speaker 12: after the game, all the all the home basketball games
Speaker 12: men and women's, and then high school stuff too. I'm
Speaker 12: going to Flag High Flagstaff High School football tonight. They
Speaker 12: play actually at the nau Dome. Is the home game?
Speaker 2: Oh cool?
Speaker 12: Do you have a I will be there.
Speaker 3: Do you have a day off?
Speaker 2: Nope? No, just like that, nope.
Speaker 3: I have two interns in the room now. They're not
Speaker 3: getting there. They're not smiling.
Speaker 2: They're getting out of the business right now as we speak.
Speaker 2: As we speak, so that's there.
Speaker 3: You must be twenty seven ish.
Speaker 12: I'm thirty one, but everyone thinks I'm younger, though I
Speaker 12: feel much older.
Speaker 2: This business agency, especially not getting any days off.
Speaker 3: Man, if you saw my picture, I'm only thirty.
Speaker 2: Thirty times too.
Speaker 3: Yes, well, thanks a bunch for your time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Eric, we do for you. Sit you're you know
Speaker 2: doing this? Say, I know we should have called you
Speaker 2: like a week ago because we knew we wanted to
Speaker 2: do this, and you got to call this morning. So
Speaker 2: we appreciate you jumping in with us today.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, guys, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate it. Appreciate it. Right, talk to you. Thanks.
Speaker 3: We have some time left them to scale. Uh you
Speaker 3: you were disappointed you wanted them to score for team.
Speaker 2: Now now I'm bove man like, I don't know what
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 3: Oh, he doesn't pay attention to other people.
Speaker 4: He's not influential.
Speaker 2: No, I'm taking his information. Okay. He provided some information
Speaker 2: that I don't have, right, I didn't you know, he said, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I don't think Therena score. Okay, that's what he needs
Speaker 2: to know. Now from that, Okay, I'm deciding what are they?
Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna use that as part of my information,
Speaker 2: my knowledge base to decide if I'm taking the over
Speaker 2: to the under or not at all.
Speaker 4: Where were you before that conversation?
Speaker 2: I was going over and now I probably won't even
Speaker 2: do anything on it.
Speaker 3: Okay, you're under the defense.
Speaker 2: Rest well again he gave He told me something that
Speaker 2: I didn't know.
Speaker 3: You're playing semantics.
Speaker 2: Now he told me something I didn't know. And he
Speaker 2: and what he said is, I don't know that these
Speaker 2: guys can put two touchdowns on the board against.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Talking to he listened to him.
Speaker 3: They're not gonna score. They scored ten maybe, yeah, but
Speaker 3: you know we thought that last week went to New Mexico.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I just don't want to have to need
Speaker 2: Arizona to put up more than fifty points or so,
Speaker 2: you know, I mean people though they I mean, they
Speaker 2: put up sixty one last week, but they kept scoring
Speaker 2: because they had to. You know, if it's forty nine
Speaker 2: to seven, all right, and they're at fifty six points
Speaker 2: in the middle of the fourth quarter, you know, is
Speaker 2: Brent Branton going to put in you know some you
Speaker 2: know they're gonna put in the second and third stringers,
Speaker 2: and then is anybody gonna score after that? You know
Speaker 2: that when when you're talking about such a huge number
Speaker 2: that you know that's you got, you got to think
Speaker 2: about backdoor covers and all that kind of stuff, and
Speaker 2: I just so soon stay away from those. So I
Speaker 2: think I'll lay off of that. But then again, if
Speaker 2: I have three or four beers before the game and
Speaker 2: I'm walking to the game and I've got my phone
Speaker 2: in my hand, you never know what can happen.
Speaker 3: Talk to me, Talk to me, Goose.
Speaker 2: I've got, I've got, I got, you know, the angel
Speaker 2: on one shoulder and the devil on the other. Talk
Speaker 2: to me, Goose exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: Hey, Jim across the street, do you think about this game?
Speaker 3: Eric said no? But what do you say?

Speaker 3: waiting with baited breath. Fantastic bit.
Speaker 2: You're waiting to find out how bad I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3: No, I'm just hoping to touch any of mine. I
Speaker 3: hope you're not. Am I am? I going first? I
Speaker 3: got the oh, Yeah, you gotta go first. Got honor,
Speaker 3: your honor, your honor. Five to two, top of one. Okay,
Speaker 3: my first game is going to be Utah over Baylor.
Speaker 3: Oh okay minus fifty team, I think that's in Utah,
Speaker 3: could be Utah, so Utah, so be a Utah minus
Speaker 3: fifteen over Baylor first conference game, right, I'm assuming that's
Speaker 3: a conference game.
Speaker 2: No, No, it's not.
Speaker 3: It's like Arizona's.
Speaker 2: It's like Arizona, right, with a pre scheduled with a
Speaker 2: pre scheduled game. Okay, I'm pretty sure that that that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because there, Yeah, they were the other school that had that.
Speaker 2: You know, a game schedule is the Big twelve opponent,
Speaker 2: but not a Big twelve game.
Speaker 3: So okay, so that's Utah over Baylor minus fifteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Utah. You know, look they look pretty good, so
Speaker 2: we'll see. I like it. It's a good pick. I thought,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm talking about I'm not gonna say I thought
Speaker 2: about it because I just didn't. I looked, I saw it,
Speaker 2: and then I said, nah, do that all right? I'm
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna get on. I'm on a bandwagon. I'm
Speaker 2: on a couple of bandwagons, and my first the first
Speaker 2: bag bandwagon that I'm on is Texas. Okay, they're giving
Speaker 2: seven and a half at Michigan. I think they're really good.
Speaker 2: I've been reading stuff on this game all week long.
Speaker 2: I mean, quinn Ewers, he's a Heisman candidate. Well, there's
Speaker 2: Texas's first and second string quarterbacks are better than any
Speaker 2: quarterback in Michigan right now. So you know, I don't
Speaker 2: think they're not They're going to go up there. They're
Speaker 2: not going to get rattled at over one hundred and
Speaker 2: ten thousand people in Michigan Stadium. I think just Texas
Speaker 2: is really good. And you know, Michigan's got a lot
Speaker 2: of you guys, and you know, if this game is
Speaker 2: two or three weeks down the road, maybe I don't
Speaker 2: touch this game. But you know, Michigan's still trying to
Speaker 2: figure themselves out, and so I'm on Texas. They won
Speaker 2: fifty two to nothing last week against Colorado State. It's
Speaker 2: not the fifty two that I was impressed by. It
Speaker 2: was nothing that I was impressed by. It's hard to
Speaker 2: shut out a team these days, and the fact that
Speaker 2: they did, even though it was Colorado State tells me
Speaker 2: a lot. So because they're not just a great offense
Speaker 2: with fifty points, they shut a team out, They shut
Speaker 2: a Division I team out. So I'm all over Texas
Speaker 2: on that and a half. Is it spread.
Speaker 3: Okay, I got all that down. Now my next pick
Speaker 3: Kansas State over Tulane minus nine. Another Big twelve. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be paying attention to a on the Big twelve games.
Speaker 3: Minus nine minus nine all right over Baylor. Why just
Speaker 3: because I think that the they're a better team and
Speaker 3: I'm coming supposed to be top three in this league
Speaker 3: and Tulane's not a top three team in this league
Speaker 3: for that for that reason specifically, and nine is not
Speaker 3: a bad number.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, the Athletic put out there predicted college football
Speaker 2: playoff bracket and they have Utah and Kansas State.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's either in the playoff. Yeah, right, because it's
Speaker 3: either Kansas State, Utah or Arizona's being thrown in there.
Speaker 2: Kind of sneaky, But a lot of the a lot
Speaker 2: of the preseason brackets that we saw only had one
Speaker 2: Big twelve teams Utah and these and this one had
Speaker 2: Kansas State and Utah. Have Utah is the pack as
Speaker 2: the Big twelve champ, but then they had Kansas State
Speaker 2: also in the playoff. Yeah, we'll see how good they're
Speaker 2: gonna be. Yeah this weekend too, all right. The other
Speaker 2: bandwagon I'm writing is Georgia Tech. You know, they they
Speaker 2: lit up Florida State. They had another good game last week.
Speaker 2: They covered for me last week as well. I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna stay with these these two teams because you know,
Speaker 2: they're early on, They're they're looking good, They're and I
Speaker 2: just feel good about them. They're they're they're going to Syracuse.
Speaker 2: It's a it's an ACC game. They've already got an
Speaker 2: ACC game under their belt. They're only giving three. I
Speaker 2: don't know how good Syracuse is. They haven't been good
Speaker 2: in a while. That's why Dino Babers is now the
Speaker 2: offensive coordinated in Arizona. So I'm taking Georgia Tech giving
Speaker 2: three at Syracuse. Oh, by the way, Texas is my luck.
Speaker 3: Okay, I like that. I like bull picks. I was
Speaker 3: gonna go with Georgia Tech, and I just said no,
Speaker 3: I better not so because you know I was no.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: But I probably had an inklean you might, but no,
Speaker 3: I didn't. Okay, So those are my two college I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go pro now with the Chicago Bears minus three
Speaker 3: and a half. I can't remember the last time I
Speaker 3: pitched Chicago Bears to do anything. Get off the bus
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 2: You're on the will, and only because I who they playing.
Speaker 3: They're playing I'm trying to go to the list right now. Bears, Bears, Bears, Bears,
Speaker 3: Tennessee Titan is probably because of that minus only three
Speaker 3: and a half, they're going to be better than they've
Speaker 3: been in the past, and that's what appears to be,
Speaker 3: like allegedly, we won't know until we know. So three
Speaker 3: and a half minus three and a half. I like
Speaker 3: the number. It's a little little that half point might
Speaker 3: kill me. But yeah, that Chicago and I can't remember
Speaker 3: the last time I did that with the Bears.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, I'm going to third college game
Speaker 2: and I'm going with.
Speaker 3: The Yeah, Nebraska, you're giving seven seven and a half.
Speaker 3: That's you said six and a half, right, who said seven? Okay,
Speaker 3: so I thought it was just seven and a half.
Speaker 3: If it was six and a half, I would have
Speaker 3: done that, But seven and a half.
Speaker 2: I want them to blast. This is a This is
Speaker 2: an emotional pick for me. Okay, not because I really
Speaker 2: really think Nebraska is gonna kick her, but it's just
Speaker 2: I'm wishing, Yeah, don't don't. I hope this is the
Speaker 2: beginning of Dion just taking it in the You know
Speaker 2: what for the rest of the season for being a big, giant,
Speaker 2: steaming pile of stuff.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that's Jay saying that. Send letters to Jay,
Speaker 3: the Mares, send letters to.
Speaker 2: He's just being a jerk. And I just feel like
Speaker 2: what goes around should come around. He should get to
Speaker 2: get his ass kicked. Okay. And and and it's at Nebraska. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: that thing one as a revenge game too. Nebraska looked
Speaker 2: really damn good last week. The quarterback, that kid, Dylan Rayola,
Speaker 2: who was the number one quarterback in the country last year.
Speaker 2: He looked really good. So, you know, I like Nebraska
Speaker 2: and I and I feel like it's a twenty point
Speaker 2: win for Nebraska this weekend.
Speaker 3: Okay, seven and a half, all right. My next pro
Speaker 3: game will be Buffalo over Arizona the Cardinals. Uh, we
Speaker 3: have Jodia on this week. Buffalo is still Buffalo. Arizona's
Speaker 3: on the road. The number is six and a half.
Speaker 3: That's a great number for me because I think they'll
Speaker 3: win by seven or more. I'm not sold on Arizona.
Speaker 2: I'm just not. I had that on. I had that down,
Speaker 2: I mean actually wrote it down until I found what
Speaker 2: I thought was a better game, Okay, that I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go with. I think I think that's a really really
Speaker 2: that's my luck, that's your luck. I think that's a
Speaker 2: really good pick. And so I hope you lose the
Speaker 2: hell out of it. You know what, it would be
Speaker 2: just like the Cardinals if I were to take the bills,
Speaker 2: that the Cardinals would go down there such stupid. I
Speaker 2: may put some money on it Sunday, Yeah, just to
Speaker 2: throw it into a parlay. The curse is going like
Speaker 2: a little money line parlay or something like that.
Speaker 3: That's up. That's how he stays in this game thing
Speaker 3: on me. And you know, you know, produced the candle,
Speaker 3: the Jesus candle, I don't know what the heck that
Speaker 3: is called, you know, and then a little holy water I.
Speaker 2: Cut the head off live chickens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so talks to your your coula undetta whatever you know.
Speaker 2: In fact, I think you need to hit the dump
Speaker 2: button on that.
Speaker 3: Really we only have two Hispanic listeners.
Speaker 2: That's oh, that's funny because there is some bad way. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 2: there was one in there, wonderfully, some low witch doctor.
Speaker 3: Yeah Hispanic, which.
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, Okay, the game that I thought was
Speaker 2: better than Bill's over the Cardinals. I'm taking the Bengals.
Speaker 2: I looked at giving eight and a half to the Patriots, who,
Speaker 2: by all accounts are like, that's the worst team. Fact
Speaker 2: it's in Cincinnati. Oh okay, that's a good pick. In fact,
Speaker 2: I might even look at that for I just I
Speaker 2: mean seriously, I had the Bills down, and then I'm
Speaker 2: I went a little further down the list and I
Speaker 2: saw I saw that the Bengals at home against the Patriots.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I got to take that. So but
Speaker 2: you know, both of those, the Bills and the Bengals,
Speaker 2: I could see them being in a little little parlay
Speaker 2: on Sunday to keep you interest. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, you totally agree with that, which is sad that
Speaker 3: I agree with that. Yeah, okay, So then the big
Speaker 3: game is the Detroit the Rams.
Speaker 2: Right, the Lions at home giving three to the Ring.
Speaker 3: I'm I think one of the teams and everyone else
Speaker 3: thinks is to Detroit's gonna be very good this year
Speaker 3: at home. They beat the Rams last year by one
Speaker 3: or two last year and the Puffs. This is a
Speaker 3: big game Detroit renister and a half.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm on that as well. Very heavy favorite in
Speaker 2: our in our pool. I mean we we picked that
Speaker 2: game because it's like they're just except for that Kansas
Speaker 2: City game, they just weren't a lot of interesting games
Speaker 2: this week. In this first you.
Speaker 3: Did a lot of people that Lessons game. Uh, Kansas
Speaker 3: City would look like this, the obvious word.
Speaker 2: Sixty people took it, and thirty eight of them had
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. I think that was the other's choice. Yeah
Speaker 2: is three. Yeah, I'm taking I'm taking the Lions as well,
Speaker 2: So I just uh, I hate I'm gonna jinx us
Speaker 2: and say this is sort of a almost a free
Speaker 2: one because the Lions are damn good and they're at home.
Speaker 2: I'm screwed. They did that on purpose, all right, So
Speaker 2: so there they are. Uh. I've got Texas minus seven
Speaker 2: and a half at Michigan. Uh, Georgia Tech again, I'm
Speaker 2: on that. I'm on that train. Minus three at Syracuse.
Speaker 3: Go ahead and go ahead, and we'll take a coffee
Speaker 3: off here.
Speaker 2: I've got Nebraska giving seven and a half at Colorado
Speaker 2: against Colorado at home, took the Bengals minus eight and
Speaker 2: a half at home against the Patriots, and Lions minus
Speaker 2: three at home against the Rams. Texas is my lock
Speaker 2: Steve's got Utah giving fifteen to Baylor. That's in Utah, right, Steve. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Bears giving three and a half to the Titans
Speaker 2: in Chicago. Kansas State giving nine to Tulane. Is that in?
Speaker 2: Is that in Kensas State? That's Kansas State home team?
Speaker 2: And then the Bill again, I like the Bill's Cardinals.
Speaker 2: I like Bill. I don't that ten you know, ten
Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning. Car uh uh, you know Arizona time.
Speaker 2: That's just a hard thing. It's it's hard for these
Speaker 2: West coast teams go east. And then you got the
Speaker 2: Lions also in there.
Speaker 3: Do you follow the Cardinals?
Speaker 2: You pay attention? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Because I don't see I don't see anything.
Speaker 2: Well neither neither you r I are big Kyler Murray guys, right,
Speaker 2: you know one Tyler Murray. He's good. Yeah, he's good
Speaker 2: enough to get you, just to get you to get
Speaker 2: you beatn two. He never plays all the games. And
Speaker 2: so we'll see if this is the year after which
Speaker 2: they have to they have to move on. But uh yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's a really good pick.
Speaker 2: And you locked it so and I locked Texas because
Speaker 2: that's the first game of the day on Saturday, and
Speaker 2: I know I'll sit down and I'll watch that entire game.
Speaker 3: You'll eat more wings than you need to or.
Speaker 2: Have some charties and eggs on Saturday on Saturday morning,
Speaker 2: because again my wife's out of town. So yeah, I'll
Speaker 2: cook up the treaty. So and I'll let's scarf down
Speaker 2: and watch the game.
Speaker 3: But we have time. We have like four minutes. If
Speaker 3: you guys want to give us a last second call,
Speaker 3: five to four, one, six, seventy four, forty give us
Speaker 3: a call. Let us know what's your prediction on the
Speaker 3: football game with Arizona.
Speaker 2: I think it's what do you think score thirties Arizona
Speaker 2: forty nine ten?
Speaker 3: I had this last week same to score.
Speaker 2: About forty nine ten, Yeah, forty ten, probably.
Speaker 3: In the seventhood seven touchdowns. You know, the guy we
Speaker 3: didn't talk about was Tyler Luke Hyler? What up? Who
Speaker 3: would have thought this a few years ago? Because he
Speaker 3: didn't have that, He didn't have a huge leg. But
Speaker 3: now he's got any But he was very consistent. Now
Speaker 3: he's got everything.
Speaker 2: I mean that the fifty four yard of that he
Speaker 2: kick went into the seats. Yeah, I mean, he didn't
Speaker 2: barely make that.
Speaker 3: And you know the special teams are one of those
Speaker 3: things or not one of them. A key position where
Speaker 3: if you have that, you don't have to worry.
Speaker 2: About it a lot of stuff. Well, you know when
Speaker 2: you see that, you're if you get down to the
Speaker 2: forty yard line that you have a chance to score.
Speaker 2: It was the old Max and Dajas thing. You know,
Speaker 2: Arizona would get to the thirty five forty yard line,
Speaker 2: you thought, okay, they've got some points, right, and then
Speaker 2: you know, and then you kind of okay, and a
Speaker 2: let's say we can get a touchdown. It's the same
Speaker 2: thing with him and just his kickoffs are just crazy stupid.
Speaker 3: But no, he's he's gotten really good. I mean that
Speaker 3: tells you how if you stayed four years and you know,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: You grow up, man, you grow up.
Speaker 3: I don't think he might be alone the leaders all
Speaker 3: time of kickers in the night nation, not just around
Speaker 3: because it consistency. Yeah, oh here's a missing well it's Steve.
Speaker 2: Yeah he did.
Speaker 3: It's like one of those money that I think he
Speaker 3: hasn't anything that passed fifty yards.
Speaker 2: You killed it and.
Speaker 3: Then you guys got Tucker and get screwed.
Speaker 2: You killed it. I can't believe you did that. Sorry,
Speaker 2: mister Lupe. Yeah, no, very impressed by him, and didn't
Speaker 2: talk about this. Last week they showed there was a
Speaker 2: video of him making a seventy five yarder. Oh, in practice,
Speaker 2: just practice, I mean, you know, not no rush or anything,
Speaker 2: but the fact that he kicked it seventy five yards
Speaker 2: through the goal post. It's good to have him on
Speaker 2: the in your part. I mean, they're not gonna let
Speaker 2: him try seventy five yards in a game, but you
Speaker 2: know he said that, you know they they'll let him try.
Speaker 2: Who do he? Where did I get this from? Oh?
Speaker 2: My brother ran into him in the elevator at at
Speaker 2: Lowell Stevens and some how's it going and stuff? And
Speaker 2: he said it was going really well, and that that
Speaker 2: he made you may see him try a sixty plus
Speaker 2: yard field goal this year, which would be incredible. Boll
Speaker 2: but he's that good and again and that's a weapon
Speaker 2: that you know that makes your team one hundred times better.
Speaker 2: I keep seeing the video and it crops up on
Speaker 2: my social media feeds all the time. Of that the
Speaker 2: kick six Auburn where the guy was a fifty six
Speaker 2: yarder didn't even come close, right, he came nowhere close
Speaker 2: to it, and they ran him back for a touchdown
Speaker 2: to win the game. You know, to have a guy
Speaker 2: that is going to kick a fifty six yarder and
Speaker 2: you know that's not going to happen to you, it
Speaker 2: gives you a lot of confidence to even try those.
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, thanks, so right, thanks.
Speaker 2: Lauren, thank you. I hope you had fun. Well, I
Speaker 2: know he made you laugh. She's going These guys are nuts.
Speaker 2: They're just stupid. It's like bad dad jokes, exactly, bad
Speaker 2: dad jokes. Okay, one nice job on the board. Again. Sorry,
Speaker 2: the breaking news thing didn't work.
Speaker 3: All right, next week we should be set when you
Speaker 3: guys come back and.
Speaker 2: See what happens Monday here Tuesday at the new studio.
