• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It might be. It could be it is a very
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: special live episode for Saturday, November sixth, or the Northwestern
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: game is today, not literally today. That's kind of the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: conceit of the show.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we're not here talking about that.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: The game a concistigated fourteen days. I'm joined by Tony
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Gerderman at fuckehuddle dot com. Tony, why don't you let
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the folks know where we are.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: We are in friendly con ponds with people on Wrigley Field.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: You can see behind us, see center field wall. We
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: are behind home plate right now. You see the field
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: behind us looks very very green, very special place. The
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: uh some say the greatest ballpark in the history of.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: The National League. Some said, people say lots of stuff, Tony,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: that's that's not now. It is the oldest ballpark in
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the history of the National League. That's pretty cool. Well
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: current currently. I mean, I wasn't gonna put a ton
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: of qualifiers on it, but yeah, So here we are
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Wriggle Field, the friendly confines of Wrigley Field. I did
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: a walk around to our earlier to give you kind
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of an up close look at the padding behind the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: outfield wall. There is padding on the outfield wall. Now
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: we'll hand the camera out there just so you can
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: sort of see the green See the green stuff right on.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: The wall there. That is not ivy.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: That is padding. There's the padding on all the walls
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: around in the field. It's all about three four inches thick,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: like good heavy duty padding like this is this is
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: not like the you know, the bats you had in
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: like gym class.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I think back then we had to climb like a forty.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Foot rope and there was like an inch and a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: half pad below us and we all lived. So I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: suspect that extremely you didn't fall on the rope knots. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah, so yes. So that's that's one piece that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I wanted to touch on real quickly because I know
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be something we get a million questions about.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: We will still get a million questions about it. So
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: like a three four inch padding. There are spots in
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the end zone. I'm gonna get out of the way
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: right there. You can see sort of in the end
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: zone there back there, there's and that's like right there
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: there that kind of piece of the end zone sticks out.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: There's another one up kind of higher up there that
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: sticks out on the other side the run ten yard
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: light there.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I did not see the dip in the ten yard light.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Of the middle are different. Okay, okay, so the watch
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: so somebody to watch for it is the the walls
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: around the field are all padded. There is like in
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the near corner here the white line is about four
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: feet wide, and then there's another like three to four
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: four oh of grass before you get to the pad.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It's just in that one corner of the end zone.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: There's another one in the other corner of the end zone,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and then out in the outfield. The pad out there
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is hanging from the back. Get the home run basket
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: on the wall is probably like a good couple of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: feet two three feet maybe a space between and all.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And what's gonna happen. Player runs in and hit the pad,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: The pad is gonna slowly swing towards the wall, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: then you're gonna have the three to four exits. So
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I know that huge people all week. He's like a
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: start to make twit for the for the break. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: would explain it better than some of the places we've
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: seen where it is just the wall is immediately there.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just pading this at least you've got some
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: uh something to break, wouldn't be in this Atlanta, so
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't worry too much about that. I think the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: bigger concern, if it is concern, would be the field
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: more than any of the wall.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you I think spent more time. I was
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: kind of running around the stadium shooting much just stuff
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you As you said, there was like at the ten
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: yard line, there's like a little I mean, is it
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: what like a where the baseline is? Presumably you could
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: see it from here, God fun.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Story thirty ship and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's probably
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: where the gap between the.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Infield dirt and the infield grass is. That would be
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: my guess that you can go bad. Yeah, they're they're.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: About probably might be like to just started.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like when I started the outfield grass. So say
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to Ohio says, does the bullpen have some time of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: uh some type of cover? So the bullpen's are regular field.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I had forgotten about this, the bullpen's and Wrigley Field.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You always think of it being down the baselines. That's gone,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that's been That has not been the case here for
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a few years now. The bullpens are actually out in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: right field. The door. You can just barely see the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: door below where it's as abbot on the score railing.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Right there, there's a door to the bullpen, so there
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: they are going to be that. Actually, the right field
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: bullpen area is where the photo workroom is, so that's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: where I'm gonna be working tomorrow. The team is gonna
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: be meeting more like down I think I think they're
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: kind of back there as well, somewhere. We kind of got.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: A brief kind of overview.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I know the Northwestern team is gonna be in the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: in the bullpen down the left field line, so I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: think you'll have to think people will be down somewhere
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: down there, So they're not gonna go underneath the stadium
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: into the locker room. It's gonna be more of.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: A more of like back there.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And then after the game, well, there's only one dugout
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: right now. The third base dugout is like covered up,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: so that's not a you know, safety concern at all
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that you're gonna like run and flip over the dugout railing.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Or anything like that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: It's just the first base dugout, which is like behind
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the sideline behind where the team is gonna be standing
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: on the sideline and so that's not gonna be a
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: safety concern at all. And I guess the team is
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: gonna be like going down there and like meeting after
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the game. That's where Ryan is to be talking to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: alter the game, and then that's where we're gonna be
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: doing the postgame interviews for the Buckeyes that get down
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: in the Cups batting cage down there below the beneath
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the first base Dugout. I know you were a Cups fan,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: so this is this has to be kind of cool
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: for you to be here and doing this.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what the amazing thing is like this is always
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: known as a small ballpark, but when you cover college
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: football like we do, and we're used to Ohio Stadium,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: this is a small place like this feeling like you
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: can walk from one side to the other.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can walk to the top of the stairs.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Here, you can lay somebody over there, like, yeah, it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: it's pretty cozy. But also we the rich folks. Seats
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: are pretty nice. Pick out the padding, but yeah, it's
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: it's pretty nice. You've seen some of the upgrades.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've been walking around.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have not been here since about nineteen ninety
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: something or other.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can road in there in TU twenty
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: two or so watching Mary bombs pop out every week.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be back pretty be right, yeah, Terry
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Slusher says grass field, right, Yes, it is a grass field.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I keep seeing people talking about this like the team
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: is gonna go They're going into like the Western Front
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: on World War One. The most serious injury that INNY
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Ohio State player has suffered this year was Josh Simmons
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: on a turf field in Oregon and a turf field
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that it was a non contact play and his name
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: would like, guys get hurt sometimes, that is the thing
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: that happens in football. I don't where you would be
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: most concerned about a guy blowing his knee out or
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: blowing in whatever out is when you're cle sticks in
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the turf, not slides, So you'd be more concerned about
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the split film turf at Ohio State, which is the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: kind that the NFL was looking at banning and maybe
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: did ban because your cleat sticks in there, and then
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: when your cleat sticks, then if you get hit, then
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: that then you get the real serious injuries as opposed
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to if you slip, maybe you spring your ankle but
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: football is an inherently dangerous game. This is I hate
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to tell everyone, this is not the first time that
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a player put themselves at risk of some physical injury
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: before a football game. You know, I don't know what
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: kind of footing they're gonna have.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: It wouldn't shock me if this ends up being similar
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: to the two thousand and six Michigan.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Game in Ohio stated, Yeah, that was.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: The end of that grass. Yeah, this is kind of
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: the start of it. We've seen I think last year
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: you had some big divots coming out. But if the
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: worst thing is bad footing, they've already.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Had that, right, they have that at home. Yeah, that's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: not anything new really, and on the road they don't.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they've done that.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: That has been There is no perfect playing surface for
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: football that prevents injury everywhere, and it's the kind.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Of places that prevents slipping. Will grab your ankle and
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: take your knee from you.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Right, there's just there you're going to football. I mean,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: last week or two weeks ago, Carson Hinsman got what
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: looked like it was going to be a very serious injury.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: It was Donovan Jackson basically through a defensive lineman and
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: he hit Carson Hinsman in the side of the knee
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and the knee brace protected him and it was okay.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But you can have an injury from that. You can
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: have an injury from a complete.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Non contact thing.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can go back over the years. Mitchell
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Moultain Whey blew out his knee at the spring game
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. It was a completely non
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: contact thing. Lathan Ransom, Laths Ransom and the Rose Bowl,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Josh Simmons in the Oregon game, like this, this happened,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to be the term, right. I think everyone
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: has kind of gotten themselves all worked up over this,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and if someone gets hurt, someone gets hurt, it's it
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: is what it is. Northwestern is building a new stadium.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: If they put them on the fifteen thousand seat stadium
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: on the Lake Font everyone will be kissing and moaning
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: about the fact that there's not enough tickets and it's cold.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: And you know that.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I assume that Soldier Field was not available, and you've
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: seen the field. You've seen the turf at Soldier Field
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: over the years, and it's not exactly pristine, Like I
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: don't this is Northwestern has decided that this is the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: best option for this game. The Big Ten has said
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: it's fine. They have taken significant safety precautions to improve
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: conditions here since they first started doing these games. They
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: used to have to go the same direction because there
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: wasn't enough space. They fixed that problem. They've added padding
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to the outfield walls. They've I think they've remodeled things
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to a certain degree, because I think the bullpen stuff
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: has been changed since they first did a game here.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: They've taken substantial steps here. You know, you can go
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: through life worrying about everything, or you can just you know,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: this is supposed to be the thin your you're here
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: to enjoy, so enjoy enjoy it, like this is going
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to be a unique experience, and maybe someone will get hurt.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And if maybe someone will get hurt, we'll dissuade you
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: from enjoying a football game. I have bad news about
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: your future watching this score. Like that's just kind of
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: how it is, so right, So that's our abbreviated Wrigley
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Field conversation. If you want to see like the outfield
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: wall padding up close and all that kind of stuff,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: there is a whole video a behind the scenes at
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Ohio State football. Wrigley field video on our YouTube channel
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: already YouTube dot com slash Bucket Huddle. You can watch
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that there. That is you want to close up look
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: at the padding on the outfield wall. It's there. You
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: want to look at how far the back of the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: line of the end zone is from the pad and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: padding on the outfield wall. That's in there. You want
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to see an f post, look at the corner of
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the end zone where the stands.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Kind of jett out.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: It's in there. You can get a good close look
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: at all that kind of stuff, plus a look around
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the stadium, the posts up in the two hundred seats
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: that are going to be walking. Some people's views. I
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: saw you had your classic Tony Gerdaman view behind the post.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I did also have somebody asks is a particular seat
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: too low? So I went and sat in and I
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: took a picture, and the twittered It's like, yes, it's
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: too low.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: And now I've got other people saying, well what about
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: this scene? About that? I'm not doing that. I'm not
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: doing that. I had a couple of people text me
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: where there's a seat looks I may try and go
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: around and give them seat pictures. Uh and uh see yes, yes,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: just a regular Yes, yeah, drug and Dragon says, just
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: need to get out of this with a win and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: no injuries. INDI NAX would be huge. Yeah, And let's
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: never get guess what that's that's what was Ohio State's
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: goal last week, he gets predue, that's Ohio State's goal
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: this week against the Northwestern that's Ohio States goal every week.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Get a win, move on. That's it. So as far
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: as the as the game and moving on looking at
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the field, do you does that change at all your
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: expectation in terms of, Hey, this will make it easier
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: or harder for o high of stake and run the ball.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: This will make it easier or harder for Northwestern to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: cover Ohio States wide receivers because my general default assumption
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: is a slippery field or a field where maybe the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: turf is coming up somewhere benefits the offense because the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: offense knows where they're going and the defense is reacting.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: But it might also prevent the Ohio State wide receivers
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: or highested running backs from cutting in some ways.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think limits in theory what Ohio State can
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: do offensively when you're out there now. As Kevin pointed
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: out before the game like this would be the shortest
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: pass Ohio States never played on against George Western. That's true,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: So take that into account. It is very short, and
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: so I need to see it. I need to see
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: how well.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: They can cut and they.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Can move because it holds up and that's incredibly that's
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: an advantage for Ohio State.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: If they can't, I think it even some things out.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: But you still, like you said, the defense still has
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: to be able to react and Ohio State's not gonna slip.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: On all of their cuts and things like that.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: So bad turf, bad weather, I think always brings the
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: better team down.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but as Ryan Day says, both teams have to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: play it right exactly, and Drowsey Dragon saying that Ohio
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: State should just play James people's unrest punch On Judkins
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and Trevian Henderson. I'm sure they're not going to run
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: those guys a million times. Last week you saw trey
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Von Henderson with six carries and quench On Judkins with
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: what ten to twelve. You're probably looking at something like
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: that fifteen to twenty carries between those two guys, and
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: then if they're up by a little bit, you'd get
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: James steeples in there. But you didn't see James Peoples
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: last week until middle of the second half probably, so
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I would expect a sort of similar distribution of carries. Frankly,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: what's gonna help you on that is there just aren't
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that many carries available. Because with the new clock rules,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Northwestern is gonna be playing the way Northwestern's
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: basketball team is traditionally played, slow it down. I don't know.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Can they run back door cuts in the in the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: football on the football field, I don't know, but to
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: slow it down, keep the o'his state offense off the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: field to the degree that they can, and try to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: make Ohio State and be methodical and not yet chunk plays.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: One of the interesting things is because quit you on,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Judgekins and Trevion Henderson have had so few carries this year,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Like the average game for them is like eleven to
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: seven to eight carries, And in a normal year we'd
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: be like, well, if they could just get you know,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: hold them like seven to eleven carries and then let
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: them get out like they if they said they're norm
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: game and get out, I think that's good enough. But
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: if they can get James Peoples out there in the
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: three quarters, Sam LEAs Dixon.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that's gonna be score.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Dependent, and they're not gonna do it before they're ready,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: even though they're playing war guys on defense and playing
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: war guys on offense.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: When you've got those two running backs, I can go
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to any point.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I think you still want to secure a four touchdown
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: league three twenty four points in the second.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Round before you start going into the deep. Dup demp turn. Yeah. Job.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Ryan always said job one to win the game, so
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: job they're they're not gonna. I know people have been
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: just absolutely in striking hysterics over the field and the
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: fact that it's gonna beat three players. But they're gonna
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: play their guys because they know they have to win
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the game and you're not going to You're not gonna
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: put these guys in the big knocker ball things to
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: keep them safe all game. They're gonna they're gonna play them.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: You want to get control of the game. You want
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to get out front. If you'll have to say defense
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: can control or question and hold Northwestern too, you know,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: seven points or less. Ohio State should be at the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: point where they've got a three score lead late in
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the second half and you can hold guys which Jones
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: wants to know. Do we know which quarterbacks have traveled
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: in Chicago?
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: We do not have an official travel list yet.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: We'll get the official travel list tomorrow. We're gonna be
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: over at the Ohio State Hotel in what about an
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: hour and a half something like that. It's like five o'clock,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I believe, give or take the Central time, Central time
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to about figure figure. You'll see us about five thirty
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Eastern time, give or take live from the Ohio State
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: team hotel for their team arrival, and we'll maybe be
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: able to see more guys than certainly I would expect.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: You probably travel four quarterbacks, and your full quarterbacks are
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: probably you know, you're run down the Depth show Will
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Howard Devon Brown Brown and say. Devin Smith was like, no,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: that is definitely not right. Julian Julian saying, and Lincoln Kingholts.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: If you're traveling four quarterbacks, those are presumably have traveled
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: all season, So I would expect that to continue. Yeah,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: at least the same talking about possible snow flurries for
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Indiana next week, Indiana next week, not this week. I
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: didn't I don't think I saw that on the forecast.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: It's a week out a.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Few years back at snowed for Indiana in October. So yeah,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: no that well, no, twenty twenty two. Oh okay, it
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: was because a twenty twenty two it did snow for
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: that game. Now was the game where Layth and Ransom
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: blocked a hunt? I think that was the week before
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the Michigan though. I think that was right towards the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: end of the game. Gauds and Gregor wants to know
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: how much of it advantages Indiana have now with with
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: a bye this week.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how much of an advantage to Ohio State you
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: have against Nebraska with their finery.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it is what you make of it. Yeah, sure,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you're you're getting healthier. Some teams respond well to it.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Some things don't respond well to lit Ohio State has
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: not generally responded incredibly well to weeks off. It's great
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to get healthy, but it doesn't you know. And sure
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit of extra time to put stuff together.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Michigan has time to put stuff.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Together and get a little bit healthy, and then they've gotten.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Northwestern next week, and then they've gotten no high staking.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Do you think there would rather be playing. I think
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I take the most of the week off.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I think you make the most of the week off.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: But it all depends on.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: How the I don't remember how they did coming off
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: with their last off week. This would be their second
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: week off this year in the show, if it came
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: off with a tough one against Michigan to go into
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the yeah, yeah, I mean they had they hit.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: They hit the Michigan game last week, which was close
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: in is so well closer than closer, But yeah, that
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: was a that was that was a you know, they're
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: they're probably more beat up than.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: They've been, so they're probably happy to have the week off.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: But I don't there you don't always see teams getting
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: a huge advantage. It's one of those things where if
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the team you're playing has an advantage, you think it's
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: an unfair advantage, and when you have it, it's like, well,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: you know, we're always rusty when you come off. It's
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: it's one of those things where it's always bad if
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: it's happening to you in need the direction. Sat Ohio says,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I remember the game in Cleveland Municipal Stadium. You couldn't
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: see the punt until it came down and saying, that's
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the Northwestern Ohio's hit game in nineteen eighty ninety one,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: ninety one. Okay, yeah, that was the last last neutral
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: site game between these two teams. That was a home
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: game for Northwestern. Oh sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a home home game in Ohio for for Northwestern against
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Ohio State. Sure there are alumni in Ohio, there are, yes,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: both is a nest. Yeah, it's you know, this is
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I don't remember anything from Ohio State dying and I
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: don't think the term in Munitionional Stadium is great at
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: that point of the season. So the dirt moves did dirt? Yea,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the dirt, the green, dirty and dirt. Yeah. Do we
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: have questions we want to get to or I'm kind
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: of you're kind of addressing them, see them? Okay, all right, yeah,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Lisa says, Obviously it never plays well coming out of
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: a bye week. Nebraska is an example of that. Got
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: lucky and won the game, And.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I think I don't know how much
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: of this is the confirmation bias. Yeah, you'd have to
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: go back what have they done other bye weeks?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: But the real question is what is Curson dead?
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Bye weeks.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I haven't loved to see what they did in this
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: past this year with their first bye week. But there's
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: so many things that are more.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Dependent than just having the week off.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Who are you playing, what kind of matchup is it,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: what were you working on? How healthy did you get it? Like,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: there are many different things that go into whether or.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Not this is a good thing. It's always it's always
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: beneficial when you can recover. But they're also coaches. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: don't want to buy week week three. I want to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: keep playing. We're doing well. I don't want this right now,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: but we have to deal with And then they've moved
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: to schedule around in one of these years to make
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: sure it's bye week was later. Yeah, And I mean
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: what I say this year had that that first week off,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I will, I will for the pedantic among the audience,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: it is not a bye week technically, it's only a
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: bye during during a tournament, and they're earned. It's an
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: open week or an idle week, or an off week.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: If we're gonna be really think and you know how
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: we love to be commanding and just me team says,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: why can't one of the biggest universities on Earth have
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: a natural brass feeling.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Well, they've tried and they didn't go round with some construction.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: So there's there's sun. There's the expense.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Remember, there's gonna be so much word money going to
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: players now that they can't spend stuff on buildings like
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: they used to. Listen, Yeah, this is all going back
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: out to the players now, not all of it, but
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: twenty million dollars a year or whatever, Yeah, going to
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: the players. So that's money that no longer goes to
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: media food, It no longer goes to like this new building,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: that new deal. Yeah, Jean Smith got a bunch of
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: buildings put together before he left. They better stand the
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: test of time for a while, you're right. Yeah, Well
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: they're trying to build a hockey rate. Is that gonna happen? Well, okay,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: you'd love to have a hockey ran. Well, you'd also
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: love to have twenty million usher football players. Well, you'd
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: also love to not drop any you don't drop any sports.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I mean they're already doing that with spellonship rope slash.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're not gonna pay eight million dollars a
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: year for field wheel it is right.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Well, and they don't like the South Young South stands.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: They don't they don't have they don't stop a way to.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't have a way to do that anyway.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: This is not Arizona where you can just roll the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: whole thing out and that Yeah, and that urf the
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: last time Ohio State was there, that turf is terrible.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: So when Ohio State got rid of the grass, everyone
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: is relieved because halleluja, there's finally artificial field turf and
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: this is now what makes me great. And then they
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: have artific field turf and I was like, well, no,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: this is terrible. I have to bring back the grass.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: It's like, no matter what it is, there is there
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: is no perfect playing surface.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: If there was, everyone would use it.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Why you've got people.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Who want the computers back now over the committee, right,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: bring back the BCS computers. I don't like this in
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: humans when you know ten years ago it's bring I've
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: turned to these computers need humans. Yeah's when when you're
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: not happy with something, you alternative.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: It's always better. Alternative, there's always better. It's just something different. Yeah, exactly,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: DoD Draco says, optional has your related predictions. You have
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: all start Brandon in the Stacey senior year, Devin Sanchez
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: becomes the day one starter. Brian Hartline flips the top
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: step of your gruit before sighting there's a three very
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: different predictions. Man, I would expect Brandon Innos at this
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: point to stay for his senior year, so I would
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: agree with that one. Devin Santas starting next year. We've
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: seen a freshman corner starts once. Yeah, Ifnzil Broke, jak
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Ticket Johnson.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Jalen Yeah, the one who made Jacot Johnson, Actually.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: No, it wasn't wasn't he was a kid from It
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: was a.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Kid who went to UH Cincinnati with the one who
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: played with j R. Brown, Thank you Jay Brown, who
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: played with and he's got a couple of starts last year. Yeah,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: but I mean a day one starter is Denzil Burke
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: and as the last year.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: That depends on who leaves is Denisoning Minos and gone.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Right, Jermaine Matthews Colvinson.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got You've got your manity.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Jimine Matthews is gonna start next year on the outside,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and then you know who else is leading, who else
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: is staying? As kind of my I TV good could
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: go good stay. I mean I think the NFL wants
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to see him play a little bit cleaner than he
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: has me. And the third one was, oh, Brian Artlin's.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Gonna flip the top of the two recruit you know,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: I think they're receiving at this point.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Just keep Quincy Porter like, don't lose anybody.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, never never been.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Against Brian Hartlin, and recruiting is probably a good uh
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: probably a good rule thumb. All right, so let's uh,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: let go to get any four. Okay, let's let's I
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: guess wrap this up with just score predictions. I legitimately
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: do not remember what I sent in as a score prediction,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: and he gets posted it. Okay. I mean, my my
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: general thought is this is probably gonna be somewhat low scoring.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: It's Northwestern. Northwestern game are frequently low scoring. Northwestern is
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: going to, you know, play good defense, be ineffective on
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: an offense, but run the clock.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Anytime you have a game in.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: A little bit of a different stadium, a little bit
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: of a different setting, you're gonna be a little bit cautious,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: probably starting out figuring out how, you know, how was
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the field going to hold up? All that kind of stuff. Yeah,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I picked on how to say thirty one Northwestern six, and.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I stand by that. I think I think I look.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: At what the over runners are.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Forty five or something. I think you're probably going under that.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: People pay you should control the game. But between the
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: clock rolls and being a little bit cautious with a
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: different setting and all that kind of stuff, I think
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: it's probably a little lower scoring and probably.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing a lot of other peaks to take.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I went thirty eight to ten, and doing these
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: predictions now I automatically have to.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Take a touchdown away from my first thought, and it's
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: hard to get in the forties through team little more.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: So I'll wait thirty eight ten. I think maybe a
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: defensive touchdown and then we'll see him Nevin. You have
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: thirty eight seven A thirty eight seven for Kevin, So yeah,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I mean a kind of in the same basic area.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: And I think, again, this is one where Ohio State
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: fans just need you know. We had a comments earlier
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that was basically win the game and keep everyone healthy,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: which was that was the goal last week, that's the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: goal this week. Just kind of you know, this is
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: this is the last game all year that you're going
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: in and saying, Ohio State pass this one hundred percent.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: It's no possible way.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: There's you know you're gonna have.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: You know, the other team's gonna win. It's just a
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: win and move on kind of game. So try and
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: enjoy this because you're gonna be extremely stressed this time
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: next week worrying about Indiana, and you're gonna be extremely
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: stressed out the week after that, worrying that, well, what
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: if Michigan pulled something off and hope, you know, and
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: then you got potentially the big Dach championship game, and
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: then you've got college football playoff and you know you're
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: into do or die games, So this is it. Tried
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: to try to not be too worried about the field
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: conditions or the roll or whatever else on Saturday and
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: trying to just enjoy the game. It should be a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: fun game. It's a really cool, unique setting. It is
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: going to be a probably once in a lifetime opportunity
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: for the Buck guys to play in a venue like this.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: So enjoy it. Yeah, enjoy it. It's a scene, it's new,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: it's and it's old.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: And so we will be back about six o'clock Eastern,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: probably a little before six o'clock team arrival.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I think it is supposed to be a little before.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Six o'clock Eastern, so we will probably try and get
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: live around five thirty pm Eastern. Gig Or Tank at
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: the hotel give you a little bit of a live
• 27:30
