  Speaker 4: joins us now.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: What's up, Ryan? What's up, fellas? How about another victory
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: week for you guys? We're on Victory Tuesday here and
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: a nice relaxing one because you got the bye coming up.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Five straight for the Broncos as they head into the
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: bye week.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Seven and two. Big question, though. Trade deadline is today
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: at 2 o'clock. Do you expect the Broncos to do something?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: I don't. But, you know, at the same time, I
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: think that one thing people fans miss at the end
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: of the trade deadline, prices become cheaper. So, yes, if
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: you want a piece and you're, you know, sending or
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: buying players.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I think everybody's seeing Simmons or Jeffrey Simmons. I think
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: that guy has read the detail at the Bears that
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: worked out, you know, so that's going to get a
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: couple of people. thinking some more, but look, you have
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: the team you need if you're the Broncos, and the
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: number one thing people are going to want is one
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: or two of your corners or safeties. Are you giving
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: away JL Skinner? Are you giving away Jaquan McMillan? I mean,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I'm saying no, but we talked last week. I'm down
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: with moving some pieces at the running back position because
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you need a vet to get ready and have you
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: ready for the playoffs.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't mess with the strength, and their strength
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: right now is the depth in their defensive backfield. That's me,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: but Let me ask you something about the offensive side
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of things and the running game. You're an offensive lineman.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: You played that position. You played it very well.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: You won a ring.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Is it the line? Is it the running game? Or
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: is it the running back? What's the problem there? D,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: all the above.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Always choose D, all the above. I did love the
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: commitment to the run. And if you go back and
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: watch this game against the Panthers, the Broncos really did
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: commit to the run. They ran it with over 20
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: designed run calls. I mean, there have been games where
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: there was 11, right? So they committed to the run
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: in a different way. I think you saw it in
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: how it opened up the rest of the game. I
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: think it kept Bo Nix in flow. But let's be clear,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: it's not looking the same with J.K.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Dobbins.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, he averaged 4.5 yards per carry when you just
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: look at the numbers. But man, he was not explosive
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: outside of that first play from the line of scrimmage.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I think he's trying to press too hard. I think
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the linemen are really, really trying to force that run game.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: But it's going to get there, boys. It takes time.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: It takes time to put a whole engine together. And
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: that run game is a big piece of this Broncos engine.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Ryan, if you've got two guys inside that room who
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: think their position group is pretty good and maybe they're
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: not the reason that things aren't really motivated and going
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: right now. At the deadline, do they look around and go, hey, man,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: maybe we should go trade for this guy? What's the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: feeling inside the room to try to get better, or
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: do they think like you just said, hey, man, we
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: got the team that can win. We're already 7-2. These
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: are our guys.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Well, you think it's, hey, these are our guys. You're
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: hoping that guys don't get traded. I mean, just look
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: at your show. Somebody got traded today. Would it be
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: great for them?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Would it suck for everyone on the show? Absolutely, right?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So you've built some chemistry here in Denver. I mean,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I do think There is a couple positions you could improve.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Could you get a left guard? I mean, that was
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: something where when the Quinton Nelson deal, you're just like, man,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: where were the Broncos in that conversation, right? But at
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, you have had to build
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: a belief if you're the Broncos from before the trade
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: deadline all the way back to training camp that you're
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: going to win the Super Bowl with the guys in
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: the room. And fellas, they can do it. I mean,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: they're going to be able to compete for the number
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: one spot in the entire AFC again. And so you
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: are very confident in the team that you have in
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: that locker room.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Ryan Harris with us. All conversations with Ryan are brought
• 4:07

• 4:16
  Speaker 4: turn to the experts. Let me ask you just a
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: basic question. Let's say that the offensive line is not
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: doing a good enough job opening up holes for running
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: backs and blah, blah, blah. But if you get a
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: better caliber of running back, what difference does that make?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: For example, if the issues in the running game right
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: now are almost directly offensive line related and you bring
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: in Jonathan Taylor, does it still change?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: It does change because some running backs really create the hole.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: And what I mean by that is if you're running
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: to a wide zone on your left and that running
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: back puts his foot in the ground at the guard
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and to cut back, no one's going to honor that
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: wide edge. versus a guy like Jonathan Taylor knows, hey,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I'm going to face my shoulders almost parallel to that
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, and I'm going to get out there
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: to force those linebackers to get across, to force those
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: defensive linemen to pull off their block a little bit,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: to try and get sideways. That's when the O-line pushes
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the guy even deeper into the linebacker. You get to
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the second level, you cut back at the numbers or
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: right where out the tackle was to start the play,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: and now you're going upfield. J.K. Dobbins has not stretched
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the field that way. He's a powerful runner and he's
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: somebody who, if you look, has been running into the
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: back of his lineman a lot. You do not want
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: to change direction in the backfield and you especially don't
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: want to do it while stopping versus Jonah Coleman's pressing
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: that hole. That's what they call pressing that hole. I'm
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: going to stay on this track. And once it opens,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: it's either going to open up frontside or backside, but
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to deviate right when I get the ball.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: And so, yes, if you get a guy like Jonathan Taylor,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: it drastically changes the run game. It looks different, and
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: defensive players have to play different because of those threats
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: to the edge.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Do you anticipate the Broncos making any changes to the O-line,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: or is it fine the way it is? Is the
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: blocking scheme fine the way it is?
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Well, at this point, the blocking scheme is not going
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: to change. You can't go in and put a whole
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: new one in. But I do think that with some
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: rest and some health, you're going to get a refreshed
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: offensive line. Now, at the same time, guys, this is
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the job, right? If you're winding out of gas here
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: halfway through the year, you're going to play the most
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: physical and brutal football of the season in January. So
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: you have to do everything to get ready for that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: But if the opportunity to improve the offensive line is there,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I think the Broncos will take it. I also think
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: they have one of the best offensive lines statistically outside
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: of running the football. But it would be interesting as
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: well to see those attempts and when those attempts are
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: to see how competitive they actually are when you get
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: down to it. But this offensive line has been there
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: for every comeback, boys. You got to ride the horses
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: that got you there. Okay, good.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But when you look around the league, the Jaguars are
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: going all in here. Like, they just picked up three pieces, man.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: They're like, we're going to solidify ourselves. Is there any urgency,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you think, to try and keep up with the Joneses?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: You cannot keep up with the Joneses. You know, we
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: had Michael Phelps, the Olympic swimmer. We all remember, I
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: don't even know what country that guy was from. He
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: was trying to beat Michael Phelps, and then all of
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: a sudden he was looking in the race at Michael Phelps,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: who was just kicking his butt by focusing on winning.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: You can't focus on the Jaguars. You've been to playoffs
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: more times than they have in the last two years.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: So you can't concern yourself with what other teams are doing.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: You've got to believe in what you're doing and your roster.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what else, guys. I mean, you
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: tell me. can we get a more dynamic position than
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: what Marvin Mims has been giving us? I love Marvin Mims.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: He's a fantastic person in addition to a player. But
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Pat Bryant was going off last week. You had other guys,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Troy Franklin, going off. So I don't know, man. I
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: do think you need some more dynamic. With your roster,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Mims is an excellent punt returner, but he can do
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: three things, the go route, the jet sweep, and return
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: that punt for you. I think you can get some
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: more dynamic play out of that player.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Ryan Harris with us. Just a quick aside question because
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: I was watching the game last night and Minnesota's defense incredible,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: but they have nothing at quarterback right now. Is it
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: possible for a team midseason, like let's say they trade
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: for somebody today, which I'm sure they're trying to, how
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: difficult is it for a quarterback to walk into a
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: brand new team, brand new offense, brand new system midseason
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: and have success?
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Well, tremendously, especially when you walk into that room and
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: the two other quarterbacks are demoralized. I mean, what does
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: that quarterback room look like at the Vikings? I mean,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray's not motivated, not tall. Carson Wentz, you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: can't get it done. I mean, are you trading for
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins again? For goodness sakes. Do the Raiders want to?
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking that.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: If I'm the Minnesota Vikings, I'd go and get Tampa
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Bay's Jalen Daniels. Jalen Daniels. He was the quarterback that
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: beat the Cowboys on the road on a short week.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, that kid can play. I think you go
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: get him, man. Or go trade for Shadur. Force that
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: issue over there. The best GMs force an issue. And
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I think there's enough quarterbacks between Deshaun Watson, Shadur Sanders,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: and Jalen Daniels that you're going to be able to
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: find a quarterback. And if I'm the Vikings, Jalen Daniels
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: is the guy I'm going after.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Brett, ask Ryan your question about the state of college football.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, um, Here's the thought that I had because I
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: saw that the executive director of the college football playoff
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: basically said this. We know that you guys don't want
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: to go to 24 teams.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: We hear you.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: We're doing it anyway. And I just thought for years,
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: college football fans have been force-fed things that they don't like.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: You know, rivalry games go away. Conference realignment, not a
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: huge fan of. Expanding the playoff, now expanding it again.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: NIL rules, transfer rules, all these different things that it
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: feels like college football fans haven't liked is now being force-fed.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: To them.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: I know college football is not going anywhere. I know
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: people are still going to watch. My question is, is
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: this the way you should be treating your consumers of
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: your product though?
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Saying, I know you. Absolutely not. Yeah, absolutely not. Nor
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: the employees of that product. How does that, how does
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: go in 24 games? How does that protect your, The
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: student athlete. Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Are you playing the student athlete game with me? Are
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: you playing the student athlete game with me?
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Come on, Ryan. Not everybody's like you in college.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: You know the bulk of these players are not student athletes.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: There was a player from Miami that's in his eighth year.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: What's he studying? How can you be? How can you
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: be a student athlete? You got 24 playoff teams. You
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: got a zero week start now. Do you think the
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: teachers care if you've got a game when you got
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: a test?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: No.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Do you think your coach changes practice because you got
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: a test? No. But look, college football is here to stay.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: They are going to maximize whatever value they can find.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: And it's absolutely shocking. Now, to me, guys, I think
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: we have to make some improvements like. If you gamble
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: on a college sports team of any sport, those teams
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: get a portion of the bet or the winnings, period.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: It could be a dollar. But, I mean, you've got
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: people betting millions of dollars every weekend on this product,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: and the people at the NCAA who clearly have not
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: been hit in the field of play of football want
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: to expand to 24 games because they just want more
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: and more money because they're seeing what sports entertainment's building,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: and they want a piece of it as much as
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: they can. Who's watching the 24-16 matchup in football? Get
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: out of here.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the state of college football, the debate we
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: had earlier, is I think college football is as popular
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: as it's ever been right now.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: 100%. Rivalries are gone. It sucks.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: But if you go to games and you find, now
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: not every college football program, because there are programs, somebody
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: just texted the show saying they watch religiously, he's a
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Wyoming fan.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because Wyoming's screwed. Yeah, you're screwed.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you. I mean, I
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: don't know what to tell you, but there are certain
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: programs now that are screwed. And I wish I could
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: help you because that sucks because there's history and tradition there.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: That's the part that really troubles me is what do
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: you do with these programs that are the have-nots that
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: can't get in that.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Circle, Ryan? Well, they've done it to themselves, right? I mean, CU, CSU,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: how the hell do you stop that game? Period. Under
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: what world do you stop that game?
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, CU, they've got a problem too. The Big
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: 12 is just barely hanging.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: On, boys.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: So what you're going to see is you're going to
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: start to see a lot of Wednesday college football games,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: things like that. You're going to see some different things.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: And the other piece too, I mean... Vic, you were there.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: We were 50 feet away from each other at the game.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Why didn't you say hello? The pregame, I couldn't see you, man.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: You got to stand on the bench. The pregame, you
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: tell everybody, Vic, when that stuff was going around the
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: stadium with those lights, I'd never seen that before. It
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: was the most electric atmosphere I've ever seen. And so
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: that's the other piece. I mean, I've called the game
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: at Virginia Tech. They play enter the Sandman in the
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter, and they've got lights off. What's your thing
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: at the stadium? You've got to give a better experience
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: to the fans at the game. And that includes bringing
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: kids onto the field, giving them opportunities, and also lowering
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: the price of a ticket. My goodness.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: And that's why I've been arguing with Brett this morning
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: because he came across as if college football is suffering.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: It's not suffering at all.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: But Vic, it's not. Can I be clear?
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: I didn't say that college football was going anywhere or
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: it's going to like poof, go away. All I'm saying
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: is for years, college football has been rooted in like
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: one thing and that's been the big thing for them,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: which is tradition.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: It's nostalgia. It's the matchups that you had. It's the
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: rivalry games.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: And I think An aspect of this, just another sort
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: of drop in the bucket is they expanded 24, no
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: more conference championship games.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I think that's something that people hate.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: I think that teams really like the idea of having
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: conference championship weekend.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: And I disagree with you. I think conference championship games are,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: what does it matter anymore? The goal isn't the conference championship.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: The goal is the CFP championship.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: You have to change your goals. No, I do agree
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: with that because if you think about it, a lot
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: of teams, if you're number one going into that championship game,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: you're playing one of the toughest games of the season
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: right at the end. And does it matter? I mean,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: will you drop out? No. I mean, I think we
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: saw this, what, was it a couple years ago with
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Georgia and Alabama? One of those two won in the
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: SEC championship game. But at the same time, that's what
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: we love. I love watching the Dr. Pepper SEC championship game.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know why. I couldn't tell you. And so
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: it's like watching the Rose Bowl. So you've got to remember, though,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: the NCAA has done this to itself. They have restricted–
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: multiple teams have stopped doing rivalry games, and it hasn't
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: been in just the last five years. Multiple teams are
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: trying to get to less conference games, and then you've
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: got strange start times. I mean, what time did that
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Arizona State game kick off last week? My goodness. It
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: was like 9.30 Pacific time.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, Ryan, and everybody, listen
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: to me, at the end of the day, There are
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: 138 Division I football programs. It is impossible to keep
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: everyone happy. Parity at that number is impossible. You're not
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: going to achieve that. You know, if you're in the
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: NFL and you have 32 teams, if you're in the small, okay,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: but you're dealing with 138 teams, different parts of the country.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: And here we are trying to achieve parity.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Good luck. We've got it. We've got the most parity
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: we ever had. I mean, Kentucky was top 10 for
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: the first time since when? Yeah. Since the prohibition? I mean,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: come on, dog. I mean, you've got Ole Miss hanging
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: in there still. Where did UCLA come from? Right? I mean,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: come on. I mean, the parity is there. But to
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: your point, like Team 70 through 120, it's never been there.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Nobody knows where Abilene Christian is. But I do know
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: a couple players that have come out of there. But
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: you're going to have parity. We've had the best we've
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: had so far with all the different teams that are
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: in the mix. I mean, it's not going pretty easy
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: for Lane Kiffin. They have a must win this weekend, right?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: The parity's there, but I think we have to be honest.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: We really don't care about the bottom half of Division
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: I teams. And in that way, it's kind of like
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: European soccer. They've been relegated. Okay, Minnesota, way to go, P.J. Fleck.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Do it against Ohio State before you come back to
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: the big league.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Ryan, how did we survive all those years without scoreboard?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: fireworks and music during commercials.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I just told someone, I said, I brought someone new
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: to Notre Dame. I said, you would not believe the
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: uproar of putting in a big screen. And by the way,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: by the way, you need another one on the other side,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: right on that northeast side. And let me tell you, boys.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's a Under Armour and a Peacock logo there.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: They're missing about $ 200 million in sponsorship. Where's the Allstate
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: on the field? I don't care. Where is the cars.com
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: at the 20-yard line on the numbers? They are wasting money,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: not promoting what you can with your corporate sponsorships on
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: the field. You've got to get there, too.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: I went to a Notre Dame game years ago. I'm
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: trying to figure out exactly when it was, but it
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: was before they put in the scoreboard. And all I
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: thought to myself was, can you.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Make it easier on me?
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Can you just, I don't like your nostalgia thing. Like
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I'm walking into a 1930s game. Can I get a scoreboard?
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: What's the score?
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: People turned their back on the university. Ask Vic. It's true.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: People are like, I'm never going to a football game
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: because they put a screen in. Meanwhile, you know, Purdue
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: had one when I was in college in 2006, hyping
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: up their guys. Brett Cain with the big Boilermaker hammer.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: And music. Like, piped in music. People love that.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: You have to understand, this is one of the last
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: institutions that actually piped in music they refused because they
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: thought they were bigger than that. You know, we're too traditional.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: They didn't do any of that. They didn't do any
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: of that. Like, during timeouts, you would look at the
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: band and say, great band. Now it's like a normal game.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: It's unreal. Well, Ryan, we always appreciate the time. Thanks
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: for joining us, buddy. Have fun this victory week, boys.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Enjoy it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: I could sit here and talk Notre Dame football all day.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: How about if I call you during the break?
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Vic, that's him telling us he wants us to bring
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: him next time. We'll bring you next year, Moes. Auburn game.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Let's go, Moes.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: If you had been there, you'd be talking it up
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: like it's no problem.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I'm sure as a blast.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I would. He'd be crying telling the story. I would.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I saw Rudy. I really saw him.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Listen, I love college football. I love the pomp and circumstance,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the venues. I probably would cry, yes.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Ryan, you're the best, buddy.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Love you, guys.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Peace.
