0:48

0:52
we need to give it thanks to Joey Brown for the intro. A

1:19
E R R y farm dot com. Tyler, We've only got one game
1:23
to talk about this week, and unfortunately it's a law scape to talk about
1:26
all year. Yeah, so I mean, let's get right into it.
1:30
And Nooksack Valley went across the mountains on Saturday to take on Lakeside of nine
1:36
Mile Falls, and Lakeside comes away with a twenty four to twenty three win.
1:41
Tyler, this is a game that not only did it go to overtime,
1:44
but tell you what, things were looking real good for Knoksack Valley early.
1:47
It was seventeen to three at one point here in the second quarter,
1:53
before halftime, it was a seventeen to ten ballgame. And then just a
1:57
single touchdown from Lakeside and second half. Yeah, what did you see on
2:00
film here? Oh boy, Yeah it was it looks like look great start
2:06
off. It just looked like a normal Nuksack game. I mean, right
2:08
off the bat, Lakeside went back to pass, they get sacked on the
2:12
first play, caught you know, three and out. Nuksak drives right down
2:15
and scores a touchdown. John Stremler on the carry on the touchdown run,
2:22
and it was you know, out of that jumbo package. Obviously up seven
2:25
to nothing, Lakeside came back, did get a field goal. Their kickers
2:30
fantastic. And I think, you know, it's funny because I think I
2:36
we talked about him after the week one game against Lyndon Christian. I was
2:38
like, that guy's great and uh and he yeah, he nailed a twenty
2:45
five yard field goal. Knoksack answered back with a thirty nine yard field goal
2:50
by Jorgan Vigory. That's his career long and it also broke another school record
2:57
for most field goals in a season by a kicker at Nuksack Valley with that
3:00
was his sixth one and it tied the career record for eight field goals in
3:06
a career. So I mean, he's you know, he broke all the
3:09
school records for kicking for the most part. And then so a ten to
3:15
three game at that point, this is in the second quarter now, and
3:19
a big, a big change of momentum a little you know, at about
3:23
midfield, Corey only intercepted a pass and they drove down the field. Eight
3:29
plays later, Corey only scores on a touchdown on a kind of that like
3:32
a mesh play, you know, area. And they hadn't ran this very
3:38
much where they run Corey only in motion quite a bit, but he hadn't
3:42
even gotten to the line yet, and they and they hiked the ball and
3:45
he just ran and he just goes up the field about two yards and then
3:47
keeps running across. And I hadn't seen them run that hardly. I don't
3:53
remember them running it at all this year. It was wide open. Brown
3:55
hits only uh and he scores the touchdown from nine yards out. So he
4:00
gets the interception, he gets the touchdown, and like you said, that
4:04
made it seventeen to three in the second quarter, which was just it was
4:10
looking like a normal like this is this what Nuksack Valley does Lakeside? You
4:15
know, we talked about it in the last podcast. You know, Hero
4:16
Patterson's a stud, Calvin Michelson's a study. They're definitely they were smaller than
4:23
Nuksack, but they fought hard in the trenches and they they had some they
4:30
had some really some really big plays in the second quarter that you know,
4:34
kind of out of nowhere. They completed a pass for like forty eight yards
4:39
or fifty three yards or something like that kind of got them on the other
4:41
side of the field. There was their first big play of the game.
4:45
They end up scoring on a twenty three yard touchdown pass with about about a
4:48
minute fifty eight to go in the second quarter. That was a play that
4:53
looked almost looked like a fifty to fifty ball between Patterson and one in the
4:57
end zone where they're both laying in the end zone grabbing it, you know,
5:00
and they gave it that the touchdown signal was called and the extra point
5:04
goes through, so it made it seventeen to ten. Lakeside did get the
5:09
ball back right before halftime and attempted a fifty one yard field goal that was
5:14
wide left. Wow, So that tells you, you know that their kicker
5:18
it would have been good. Yeah. I think it would have been good
5:21
if it was Yeah. Yeah. So it is. It is, and
5:29
and it's not easy kicking in the in the when it's like, you know,
5:31
thirty two to thirty three degrees. So guy from Denver used to kick
5:35
with no shoe on. I have no idea. Yeah, Rich Carlos,
5:39
Yeah, Rich Carlos, he was great in techmobile town, but yeah.
5:42
And Mike Lansford for the Rams, yeah, but never kicking in La was
5:46
a little different than kicking in Denver. Yeah, especially after like October tenth,
5:49
like ye, so but yeah, so you go into halftime and Knok
5:55
sacks getting the ball to start the second half, so you know, you
5:57
got a seven point lead, you get the ball coming out, Well it's
6:00
looking pretty good, but you know, it just they were able to they
6:06
were able to stop. They played some great coverage, and the passing was
6:12
not there for a lot of the times. Jackson Bennett got hurt early on
6:18
I think I want to say might have even been in the first quarter,
6:21
and that was a huge blow because he's such a threat deep ball, lots
6:26
of different things you can do with him. You lose him on defense as
6:29
well and in the return game, so that kind of, you know,
6:33
it kind of didn't help them a lot. You know, they're already without
6:36
Wayne Silvis and then you lose Jackson Bennett too, who's kind of more like
6:41
a slot slot corner and but that's where Hero Patterson lines up a lot of
6:46
the times, is in the slot. So you know, that kind of
6:48
took that away, which was tough. Lakeside was able to drive down I
6:54
think it was that third quarter drive when they had a fake hunt that they
7:00
worked to perfection. They got about twenty eight yards on it. It got
7:05
a first down, and that you know, you convert a first down on
7:10
a twenty eight yard fake punt where you pass the punter passes it and completes
7:13
a pass. That's that can really get your momentum up for a high school
7:16
football team. They were able to score moments later on a five yard touchdown
7:24
run which tied the game at seventeen. That was kind of near the I
7:29
think it's like about two minutes to go in the third and all of the
7:31
fourth quarter was very you know, really well defensive play. There was some
7:36
punts back and forth. There were plays where you know, Knok Sak I
7:41
think Nuk Sak, like they recovered a punt at their own ten and then
7:46
I think they had a penalty, so they're back to their own five,
7:49
and they were just you know, it's a tie game, so it's kind
7:53
of like, you know, you don't want to screw up so far back
7:55
close to your own end zone. They were able to drive out of it.
7:59
They were they were gung ho about going with this with the with the
8:05
power set, you know, with the jumbo set and they were able to
8:09
pick up some yards, but they kind of knew they were going to run
8:11
with it, and so sometimes you get tackled for a loss. Well,
8:16
Skyler Winteren broke off a thirty three yard run when they really needed it,
8:20
and it looked like he was going to go all the way, but he
8:22
stepped out of bounds. But he still got about thirty three yards out of
8:24
it. I think that was like from the eight to the forty one.
8:28
So it really got them out of some deep, you know, being way
8:31
back deep, and it might have even been on third down, and then
8:35
that kind of gave him a little bit of breathing room to do some more
8:37
stuff. I think a few plays later, John Stremler broke a forty three
8:43
yard run. Just a thing of beauty watching number fifty two carry the ball
8:48
and out running guys, going over guys, and that really put them into
8:54
a good spot. I think they got all. I think they got into
8:58
the red zone even and on fourth down, not sure how much time was
9:03
left, a couple minutes, maybe they you know, they called time out.
9:09
I think it was fourth and you know, I don't know, fourth
9:13
and five or something like that. From around between the fifteen and the twenty
9:16
somewhere in there, and they put Jackson Bennett in the game, and I
9:20
remember seeing that going oooh, okay, at least, I mean, he's
9:24
jogging onto the field. Doesn't look too bad. I saw him doing kalisteniks
9:28
when they came out of the half, and he was kind of doing jumping
9:30
jacks and stuff and and but he was still favoring a foot or an ankle
9:35
or leg or something. But they put him in for that for a play
9:39
and I was like, man, they must be going to him, and
9:43
you know, they went for a deep ball to him and he just looked
9:46
he just looked like he looked over the other shoulder. If he would have
9:50
looked over the right shoulder, he probably would have caught a touchdown pass looked
9:52
over the left shoulder, and by by then it was too late. So
9:58
that was a That was a tough play because it gave the ball back to
10:00
Lakeside. Lakeside I think Lakeside punted and then you know, Knooksack fumbled and
10:07
Lakeside got it back and punted again. I mean, the defense was just
10:09
playing really well at this point, and then they then Knuksak had another fourth
10:15
down, they decided to punt. Joey Brown punts it, you know,
10:18
puts it inside the five yard line and from there they just kneeled on it
10:22
and went into overtime. So it was it was it was really like just
10:28
pressing in the fourth quarter. And you and I were just talking about that
10:31
last week, how it was the first overtime game in like five years at
10:35
least, and at Boom we had another one a week later, of course,
10:39
and Knoksack loses the toss for overtime, so the other team Lakeside wants
10:46
to take the ball second, so Nukzak has the ball first, and it
10:50
was just two running plays right up the middle, but both by Colt Lentz.
10:54
He scores on the second one easy as that eleven yard run than a
10:58
fourteen yard run touchdown. Unfortunately Old Boom Boom our guy was ride right on
11:03
the extra point. And that was you know, that's that's tough because you're
11:09
putting that situation where that opens the door for the opponents to you know it
11:15
it basically it basically makes it so you really have to you know, do
11:20
some stuff here or to force a you know, to get a win or
11:22
force another overtime and and uh so Lakeside now has the ball, and from
11:30
the twenty five yard line they have a run play gets a yard. Another
11:33
run play gets a yard. So now it's third and eight and Knoksack Valley's
11:39
defense has been playing great for since the middle of the third quarter basically,
11:43
and and Lakeside has been punning a lot lately. And I really thought that
11:48
Nuksack had the momentum at that point. They'd scored that touchdown on two plays.
11:54
And now it's third and eight for Lakeside. They go deep to the
11:56
right side into the end zone. And when you watch the play, you
12:03
know, even the even when the ball just kind of falls harmlessly onto the
12:07
turf, the receiver looks dejected like he just kind of looks like, dang
12:11
it, you know, now it's fourth down. Then a penalty flake comes
12:15
out and he's still just kind of like, you know, that's too bad,
12:20
until he sees the flag and just goes crazy. Now, usually when
12:24
a receiver thinks he's being held or he's being interfered with, he's given the
12:30
old like you know, throw throw the flag, sigdn throw his hands up.
12:35
He's arguing his point. This receiver wasn't doing that at all, but
12:39
he sees the flag and goes nuts. So it really, you know,
12:41
from my point of view, you know, it didn't look like past interference,
12:48
and it was just that's such a tough call. You know, in
12:50
overtime, it would been fourth and eight, which means they'd have to get
12:56
eight yards or they lose the game. And uh, but now it's half
13:00
a distance to the goal. They got the ball at the eleven yard line,
13:05
and it was a really well run play because Patterson has been going in
13:09
motion like every single play basically in the second half, and either they're they're
13:16
giving it to him on a sweep or they're pitching it to him on the
13:18
outside. But he was being keyed on quite a bit. Safety came up
13:22
and really keyed on him, and it was kind of an option to either
13:26
hand it to him or throw it. And Michelson saw that, you know
13:33
that the safety came up and there was a receiver kind of he was the
13:37
outside receiver, but they were all kind of bunched together, and he just
13:39
went right down the middle and he was wide open in the end zone.
13:43
Eleven yard touchdown that tied the game, and of course, their kicker who
13:48
they trust for fifty plus yards, comes out and he hits the extra point
13:52
and that's the game. Amazing season for Knooksack, probably the best three lost
13:58
team I've ever seen in Walkin County. It was, it was It was
14:05
not the way they wanted to end it, but it was a pretty magical
14:09
season for them. Where second year in a row, a one point loss
14:13
in the semi finals. You know, that's a tough pill, but uh
14:18
really proud of how they played and and to go on that long road trip
14:24
and still you know, play pretty darn well. You know, out out
14:28
gained them. You know, after halftime they had eight penalties called on them,
14:33
Lakeside had zero called on them, which is tough, but you gotta,
14:37
you know, you you can't let it get to that situation. You
14:41
can't. You can't let it get to overtime. Yeah, you had a
14:43
tough penalty called your way in overtime, but any coach will tell you we
14:48
shouldn't let it get to overtime those types of things. So it is what
14:52
it is. The season's over for the Pioneers, but you know they'll just
14:56
have to They're gonna they're gonna lose a great senior class, which we'll talk
15:00
about in a few podcasts from now, but they have some really nice pieces
15:03
coming back as well. So so yeah, that kind of wraps up the
15:07
season for football in Walcome County. Yeah, I mean you mentioned, don't
15:13
let it get to that point. In fact of the matter is zero points
15:16
in the second half. I mean, yeah, all it takes is a
15:18
field goal, you know what I mean, Like, end of the day,
15:22
that's all it would have taken. So you know, it's tough.
15:24
It's tough because you know, I think we all feel like they probably give
15:31
Royal the best matchup next week, you know what I mean. But yeah,
15:33
knok sack Valley, you mentioned they out gained him by ninety yards three
15:37
sixty three to two seventy three. Colton Lentz twenty seven carries one hundred and
15:43
thirty six yards and the one touchdown from fourteen yards out Skyler Wittard's eleven carries
15:50
sixty three yards, John Stremler two for forty seven and the forty yard touchdown
15:54
run. Joey Brown nine completions ninety three yards. He did have one touchdown
15:58
pass that to Cordy Only, who finished with four catches for twenty eight yards
16:03
and that nine yard touchdown pass. Tyler, do you have any defensive numbers
16:07
from the game. I'm kind of putting on the spot here. Normally,
16:10
normally I let you know if we want to go defensive, but you know
16:12
what, we've got a little extra time on this week's podcast. So do
16:15
you get any defensive numbers? Yeah? I do? You know, John
16:19
Strummler, you know, no surprise there. Eleven and a half tackles,
16:23
one tackle for loss, half of a sack. You know, Corey only
16:27
had the interception that I spoke about earlier. Skyler Wintern had seven tackles plus
16:33
two tackles for loss. They but try not to use him too much on
16:37
defense so they can keep him fresh on offense. But when Jackson Benna went
16:41
down, I think he was kind of you know, him and Tristan Campals
16:44
had to hold down that spot on defense from the rest of the game.
16:49
A Dalton Hickey had one and a half sacks. One was one forced to
16:53
fumble that the lakeside did recover, so that put him with seven and a
16:57
half on the year. Brady Ackerman also had a sack on that first play
17:02
of the game. So he went up to seven and a half sacks.
17:03
So they both ended with seven and a half sacks on the year, tied
17:07
for second place in the county. Colton Lentz had six tackles win, tackle
17:11
for loss. Yeah, Duke had a sack. It was you know,
17:18
it was a good overall game. It's just you know, it just didn't
17:25
come up with the win. There was some good players on defense as well.
17:29
But yeah, it's just the numbers. The numbers all look good,
17:33
but the scoreboard didn't. Yeah. Again. Lakeside of Nine Mile Falls moves
17:37
on to the state championship game twenty four to twenty three over k Nooksack Valley.
17:41
They will play Royal three pm on Friday at Husky Stadium. If anybody
17:45
wants to head down for that, I'll be there. If you're going to
17:48
be there, let me know. I probably won't come say hi, but
17:51
I'll let you know where I'm sitting. If you want to come say hi,
17:55
You're more than welcome. Yeah, Tyler, So that's it, no
17:57
more games to talk about. We do have the pick'ems here. We all
18:00
went on to one. Oddly enough, we all picked Nuksack family. On
18:04
the season, Tyler you finished fifty four and thirty. Nate wins it sixty
18:08
and twenty four, Connor fifty eight and twenty six. I was in second
18:12
place at fifty nine and twenty five. What do you know, Tyler,
18:18
is this the first time we've had Blake Whitman pick. Yeah, I'm pretty
18:22
sure. Yeah. So well, his overall numbers are actually worse than Jeff
18:30
Beardon's because right now he's hitting at zero percent fifty eight and twenty six for
18:36
the guests on the season, even with Beard and screwing everybody up in the
18:40
first week. Actually, I don't know what his numbers were in the first
18:42
week. Maybe he did goodify we all did horrible, did we? Yeah?
18:47
I think we were like all like four and four around there. You
18:49
know, it was just you know, week one, you never know that,
18:52
well, we should have we shouldn't have picked with Beardon fifty seven and
18:56
twenty seven for Joe Consensus, who oddly enough Joe Consensus finishes fifth. Yeah,
19:02
that's crazy, That's that's unheard of. That is I mean, that
19:07
is really really hard to do. I Mean what that tells me is that
19:11
early in the season, you me and like the guests, or you me
19:15
and Connor, like we were, we were picking together and that was making
19:21
Joe, you know, pick that team, and then Nate was picking a
19:23
little bit different and then you know, it kind of evened out a little
19:26
bit. But the fact that Joe finished fifth is is I don't think Joe's
19:30
ever finished blow second. I mean right, right, And and Nate and
19:34
Connor were kind of they shot out of a cannon, Yeah, pretty fast.
19:38
I think Connor was in the head after about three or four weeks,
19:41
Nate passed him up and never relinquished. He had he had an undefeated week
19:45
and maybe had another one and it kind of put him past everyone. Then
19:49
you made a late run, a late push to get him. But it
19:52
just yeah, I was on fire there for a few weeks at the end.
19:56
Yeah, yeah, for sure you had an undefeated week as well.
19:59
Yeah, but yeah, it's just you know, I think I think in
20:03
like a two week period, I went like eleven and one or something like.
20:07
Yeah, I think by like thirteen and one. Yeah, it was
20:08
something crazy where like, yeah, one week I went undefeated and then in
20:11
the week before and I think I'd only lost one And it was a game
20:15
too that I remember, Like I think we all picked, you know what
20:17
I mean. It was one of those ones where it was like, wow,
20:19
we're all a little shocked. So yeah, that's it for the pick'ems.
20:23
Uh, Tyler, Let's talk players of the week, and obviously they're
20:26
all gonna be from one team, but they're all guys that deserve to be
20:29
recognized. I'm looking at the numbers here and I mean, yeah, some
20:33
definite guys that need to be recognized here. Yeah, So, uh,
20:37
let's see Zazen Salon Spa. They sponsor the offensive player of the week.
20:41
You can find Zazen Salon Spa at eleven bell weather Way in Bellingham. Three
20:45
six zero seven to one five one zero five zero Zazen Salon Spa Offensive Player
20:51
of the Week. Tyler. Yeah, I had to go with Colton Lentz
20:53
to junior running back. You know, they they really tried to feed him
20:59
a lot. He scored that overtime touchdown. Finished the year with over fourteen
21:03
fourteen hundred yards rushing and twenty five touchdowns on the ground. He also had
21:10
some touchdown receptions during the season. Just an amazing season and a really big
21:15
game in this this final game of his junior year. He had finished with
21:18
twenty seven carries for one hundred and thirty six yards and the one touchdown.
21:22
I want to say that's the most carries he had in a game all year.
21:26
And so when they really needed him, they they really relied on him.
21:30
And there was a lot of some a lot of open field in the
21:33
middle, and he took advantage of it. And just you know, he's
21:37
he's just got a way of breaking tackles while you know, still lunging forward
21:41
and powering forward and keeping his balance and and he's got a bright future and
21:47
had another really good game. So Colton Lentz twenty seven carries, one hundred
21:52
and thirty six yards and the one touchdown and overtime is your Zazzen Salon SPA
21:55
Offensive Player of the Week. The Defensive Player of the Week is brought to
21:57
you by Max Hair Study. You can find Maxhiers Studio. Had Bellis fair
22:02
mall three six zero six seven to one one six two seven Tyler who is
22:07
the Max Here Studio Defensive Player of the week. Yeah, John Strummler really
22:11
made his presence known early. There was it was it was really hard to
22:15
run on on on on nooksack. I think they had two carries the whole
22:21
game that went for more than ten yards. Uh, and John Strumler was
22:25
a big reason why. Eleven and a half tackles. He had a one
22:27
tackle for loss and half of a sack. Just another really good game where
22:33
uh. They ended up playing him some at defensive tackle as well, which
22:37
was a brand new position. I'd seen him play defensive end. He did
22:41
that a lot last year. Was an All Conference defensive end lap last year.
22:47
But they went to some dime stuff where they put him at defensive tackle
22:51
and actually had Colton Lensby the middle linebacker with six defensive backs in because they
22:56
know lakes I was able to move the ball in passing, so to be
22:57
able to play a couple of different positions. Even when he was playing his
23:00
defensive tackle spot, he was making a ton of tackles. So John Stremler,
23:06

23:19
of the Week. Yeah, I gotta go with Boom Boom again. I
23:22
mean, Joey Brown actually had some really big punts, especially one that put
23:26
you know, coffin corner, put him down at the five yard line late
23:30
late in the game. But Vigory, you know, with those extra points,
23:34
that thirty nine yard field goal was huge. I mean it was it
23:37
was much needed. You don't hit that, you don't even go into overtime.
23:41
It was you know, it's a career long for him. It broke
23:45
another school record. So so what a year he had, you know,
23:49
just an unbelievable year. One of the best years in Walkom County history as
23:52
a kicker. I want to say, like the third most extra points ever
23:56
in a season in Walkom County history. So really, really big season for
24:03
Jorgan Vigory. He's your Pet's real Estate Special Teams Player of the Week.

Tyler, who is the Bell Anderson Insurance Offensive Player of the Week or
24:26
Offensive Lineman of the week. It's a Keyan Coppinger the center, Yes,
24:33
there was there, Yeah, it was they They found out that basically running
24:38
right up the middle was going to be their best bet for some yards when
24:44
they when they needed it. And I mean he's that anchor right up the
24:48
middle, two hundred and sixty five pounds, super strong, definitely one of
24:52
the strongest guys in the county, and just a guy that you know,
25:00
oh, is just massive and can and can create a wall and just wall
25:04
off guys and create a crease for his running backs, and especially in overtime
25:11
those like those two runs, I mean, my goodness, just just straight
25:14
up the middle, huge holes to run through. Uh, there's a big
25:18
you know, he's a big reason why you know they're averaging as many points
25:22
per game and yards per carry and all that stuff as a team. And
25:26
uh and even when they bring in all those offensive linemen in the jumbo,
25:30
he's still the one snapping the ball. He's you know, he's he's the
25:33
one in the middle making the calls and everything. So Kean Coppinger is your

26:11
have nothing else to talk about because we didn't do fantasy this last week.
26:15
That being said, I guess we can touch on it really quickly. I
26:21
finished with a record of eight and four. That being said, though,
26:22
Tyler, you go into the off season on a one game winning streak,
26:27
I'll take it. You know, those guys, like those Major League Baseball
26:30
players when they you know, after like the first game of the regular season,
26:33
they're like yeah, and now he's on an eight game hitting streak.
26:37
It's like, what Yeah, I think Jimmy Rawlins had like a forty game
26:41
hit streak, but it was stretched between two different seasons. Yes, so
26:45
I'll take it. I'll be I will, I will I but this,
26:48
but what that means that you get to pick first? Next year we start
26:52
fresh? Okay, Well, we'll do a coin toss next year and who
26:56
else. Maybe we've got somebody else added in, maybe who love it.
27:00
I mean, we don't know what we're gonna do next year. We just
27:03
know that the fantasy is gonna move on, like we'll be doing it again.
27:07
I've got a title to defend two years in a row. By the
27:10
way. Yeah, you know one thing I noticed to Tyler Kean Coppinger see
27:15
see any plays center. I mean, that could not work out any better.
27:19
Yeah. I like that kid. I like him a lot. Yeah,
27:23
yeah, Tyler, I don't know, we got anything else to talk
27:26
about. I mean, how about this. How was your Thanksgiving? It
27:30
was great? It was great. Went out to Laura's mom's house and uh
27:33
it was the first time she'd ever cooked a turkey and uh I still had
27:38
her mom. Oh okay, and uh, and it was when we I
27:41
brought over about five days earlier. I still had it in the freezer at
27:47
my old house. That was from a few years ago when they gave it
27:52
out at the chocolate factory. So I'm still good. Yeah, yeah,
27:57
it was. It was about three years old, and it stayed frozen the
28:00
whole time. Yeah. But wow, I mean I don't know. I
28:03
didn't know. Uh, I didn't know turkeys had that kind of shelf life.
28:07
I mean, yeah, I was. And it was huge, about
28:08
twenty five pound turkey. And uh, and there was only three of us
28:12
eating, so there's a lot of leftovers. But yeah, I had all
28:17
the you know, I had the pumpkin pie, and there was apple pie,
28:19
and there was potatoes, and there was you know, the cranberries,
28:22
and we had all the good stuff and sparkling cider, which is one of
28:26
my favorites. And had had a good fun time and and I was able
28:32
to get home in time to to watch what looked like a reasonable facsimile of
28:38
talk. But other than that, you know, it was, yeah,
28:41
it was. It was good. It was. And it's weird because this
28:45
was the first time I think I talked about last podcast where I'm not at
28:48
the chocolate factory working crazy hours, where you know, I got to kind
28:52
of enjoy it instead of being a zombie. It was nice to go do
28:56
an actual thing on Thanksgiving And I know, did you celebrated a day later?
29:03
Was that what your plan was? No, we actually ended up doing
29:06
it on on Thanksgiving because my nephew couldn't or my sister couldn't reschedule an appointment
29:15
for my nephew for the next day. So we decided to do it that
29:18
day. And my sister because our whole thing was, you know, with
29:21
the Seahawks game, it was going to kind of put a wrench in the
29:22
whole you know, Turkey wasn't going to be done in time. And so
29:26
my sister found a way to. I don't know how she pulled it off,
29:27
but she did. And so yeah, I mean, I you know,
29:33
I tried to what's word I'm looking for here. I tried to pace
29:36
myself a little bit, right, Yeah, because I didn't want to.
29:37
I didn't want to go too crazy, because I didn't want to need a
29:40
nap at the Seahawks game. You know, not granted I might as well
29:42
because the whole team did. But I got up and I made a plate
29:48
like I always do, and it was a big one because I'm like,
29:49
you know what, if I'm only going to really do one plate, I
29:51
might as well have a big one, right, So I had a big
29:53
old plate, stuffing mashed potatoes, even some green bean cast or all even
29:59
those not exactly my favorite, but I'll eat it. And actually, my
30:02
sister did a different recipe this year, and it was fabulous nice. But
30:06
there was also two things of fruit salad, and I was like, oh,
30:10
well, they looked different. One of them was kind of pink,
30:12
right, and I didn't that's so I didn't know what was going on,
30:15
and the other one looked a little dry, you know. But that being
30:18
said, both of them were fabulous. But the first one I had was
30:22
the pink one. Yeah, I don't know who made it, but come
30:26
to find out, instead of it, you know how, I always put
30:29
like, I mean, you put whipped cream in it, right to kind
30:33
of like bind it all together, what you call it. But and I
30:37
think my sister made that one, the pink one, because she had mentioned
30:42
that it was also made with like cheesecake. Oh your favorite, dude.
30:48
I sat down and I was like, I was like, I gotta try
30:52
this pink because I don't know what's going on here, Like it just seems
30:53
weird to me. Right. I took a bite of it and I was
30:56
like, wow, Wow, something about this isn't right, but it's fabulous.
31:02
And I took another bite and I couldn't I couldn't place it until I
31:03
was told cheesecake, and I was like, that's exactly what it is.
31:07
It's got cheesecake flavoring to it. That was unbelievable. But there wasn't enough
31:14
room on the table. So I always grabbed my plate and just go watch
31:15
football. Right, Yeah, there wasn't enough room on the table. So
31:21
my brother in law makes the mashed potatoes and he leaves them on the leaves
31:22
him on the oven, or leaves them on top of the stove, and
31:26
so I didn't even see him, but I didn't think about it. It
31:30
just didn't occur to me. Right, I got all this food. Oh
31:33
no, excuse me, I didn't have mashed potatoes on my plate. I
31:34
had the were the other ones sweet potatoes or whatever they are? Yeah,
31:37
yeah, with the the little marshmallows, you know, Yeah, yeah,
31:41
we had that too. That's one of Laura's specialties. Yeah, the candy
31:44
candy gams. Yes, so I had that, and I remember looking at
31:48
looking at my plate and being like, something's not right about this. But
31:49
it's it's a huge plate because I had a ton of stuffing on there,
31:52
and of course I just covered the whole thing in gravy. Right. I
31:56
sit down and my brother in law comes in and he sits down next to
31:59
me, and he goes, oh, you didn't get any mashed potatoes,
32:01
and I went, huh. I looked over at his plate and half of
32:04
his plate was mashed potatoes, and I went, well, wait a minute,
32:07
how did I miss those? And he goes, well, they're still
32:08
on the stove. And I went, oh, well, now I guess
32:12
I need another plate. Right, So I ate the whole plate, and
32:15
then I went in because mashed potatoes are pretty much my favorite thing. I
32:17
mean, I like potatoes of any form. Yeah, yeah, But so
32:22
I had to go back and get those, and then, of course,
32:23
like an idiot, I end up making a whole nother full plate. And
32:27
then I go and I sit down and I just loot to myself, why
32:30
did I do this? Why did I do that? I told myself one
32:32
plate. I told myself not to go too crazy. Next, you know,
32:37
I'm sitting there and I'm about to doze off, and I'm like,
32:39
this isn't good. I gotta get I gotta leave for the Seahawks game in
32:43
like twenty minutes, you know. So the whole way, the whole drive
32:45
down from Montlake Terrace down to the stadium, I'm sitting there thinking to myself,
32:49
like, this is gonna be bad. I get down the to the
32:51
parking spot and I'm sitting there and someb my buddy a text. He says,
32:53
yeah, I'll be there in about fifteen minutes. Next you know,
32:57
I wake up and he's honking sitting next to me in the car, and
32:59
I'm going, oh, hey, like man, I did doze off like
33:04
this, you know. And then of course the Seahawks they just yeah,
33:07
I mean, I hate to say, Geno Smith is just not not gonna
33:12
work. Gino Smith just isn't gonna I mean, granted, they got out
33:15
coached, got out completely out coached. Just I mean in every facet of
33:20
the game they got out coach. But yeah, I mean, I don't
33:22
know, it was fun. I had a good time, you know,
33:24
my nieces and nephews are always funny. And you know, my freaking brother
33:30
in law, he's a nutcase. Guys. He's so funny. Though.
33:32
They had a couple of their neighbors over, people that I had never met,
33:36
but you know, they're older couple that doesn't really have family, so
33:39
they invited him over. And yeah, the the Tyler, I'm telling you,
33:45
the the gentleman was I think I think he said he was seventy seventy
33:50
or seventy five and dude as sharp as attack man. Yeah, I mean,
33:55
he knows this stuff. And and we're talking about he's thrown out all
34:00
these old football player names and stuff. And he's like, oh yeah,
34:04
this guy, this guy. And I'm sitting there looking at him, going
34:06
it's like talking to Tyler like throwing out names, and I'm like, I'm
34:09
like, dude, I don't know anybody else that could throw that name at
34:12
me, you know what I mean, Like nobody, Like none of my
34:15
friends are throwing some of these names at me, you know. So it
34:17
was it was fun cool, you know. And the end of the day,
34:22
though, it was all ruined by Pete Carroll, So I blame him
34:27
for making the kids cry. On Thanksgiving, you know, and by kids
34:30
I mean me, Yeah, that's what it was. But yeah, I
34:34
mean, I don't know. I mean, it's it's weird because I'm excited
34:37
to go to the state championships on Friday and Saturday this upcoming week. But
34:40
also at the same time, I was hoping to have a little, you
34:44
know, little investment in a Wakham County team. And yeah, you know,
34:47
obviously i'd rather that the team that I help out with is being in
34:51
it. But yeah, I mean it's gonna be fun. I'm excited to,
34:54
you know, anytime you get to watch six high school football games in
34:57
two days, not wrong with that, I mean a good deal. And
35:00
congratulations to Anna Chordis. Yeah. Yeah, they took it to um Cloud
35:05
pretty good. Yeah, and that's such a cool story when you look at,
35:07
you know, not having a program to to getting where they have and
35:13
it's a i mean a couple of years ago they didn't even have varsity,
35:16
right, That's what I mean. I mean, Yeah, it's just it's
35:19
wild to think about. Yeah, no typically puts it out there that it
35:23
can happen, you just you know, Yeah, I mean when you look
35:27
at the commitment that that team that county or that community. Everybody's made over
35:32
there for that team. You know, they they made a commitment to hey,
35:36
we're going to go all in, and they did and it's worked out,
35:38
you know, and I think they're a prime example of what every team
35:43
needs to be doing, you know what I mean. Obviously there's some teams.
35:45
You know, they play tom Water this week. I think tom Water
35:50
doesn't need to have any more commitment than they already have. You know.
35:52
Yeah, they they got a pretty good thing going on over there, so
35:57
you know, it is what it is. But but yeah, let's see
36:01
what else we got anything. Yeah, I don't think so seniors. We're
36:07
gonna say goodbye to the seniors, you know, pretty soon. Yeah,
36:08
it'll be ready for Okay, let's talk about this Tyler. What's up next
36:13
for Walcome Preps? So? First off, right now, where are we
36:15
at with the volleyball countdown? We're a little bit more than halfway through.
36:21
I think as of right now we announced number twenty four tonight being Sunday nights.
36:28
So yeah, so we're a little bit more than halfway through it.
36:31
And now we're getting down to the big time players and that will that will
36:38
still go for about a week and a half somewhere around there, a little
36:45
bit over a week. Okay. So yeah, So then for those of
36:49
you listening, if you're listening on Monday, you might even be listening as
36:52
Tyler and I were recording. We're going to start recording the Saying Goodbye to
36:58
the Seniors podcast, And just to give people an idea of what we're doing
37:01
is we're breaking it up into four podcasts. So it'll be Lyndon Mount Baker,
37:07
then Lynden Christian Squala com then Bellingham, Blaine Meridian, followed by Ferndale,
37:13
Nuoksack, Valley, Seahome. So that's how it's gonna go. So
37:15
tho, it's gonna be those four podcasts with those ten teams, and they'll
37:20
be released. We're gonna try for like later this week for the first one,
37:24
and then probably three next week. It'll probably be like Monday, we'll
37:29
say boom boom. It'll be kind of on top of each other, so
37:31
so you'll get notifications if you're subscribed, and it'll be like sweet another one,
37:36
and so it'll it'll happen fast. And these are fun because you know,
37:39
it was kind of a spur of the moment thing that you did about
37:43
four or five years ago, and we've had fun with it ever since,
37:46
where we actually talk about every single senior. I'll talk about their career memorable
37:52
moments. Uh, there's all their career stats, awards, all those things,
37:57
and uh, you know, and you just never know because I have
38:02
a weird memory, and if you said something to me on a sideline once,
38:06
I'll remember it and I might bring it up. Uh. And this
38:08
is kind of that one chance, you know, where you know, it's
38:14
kind of a fun thing like if you go to a football banquet, you
38:15
know, if you're a parent, you get to hear the coach talk about
38:17
your kids. It's kind of that type of feel to it if you've never
38:22
heard these before. But we really, you know, try to dive in
38:24
and and and and and basically just a thank you to all the seniors,
38:30
and and we talk about each one of their careers and and a lot of
38:32
them were gonna, you know, make the top one hundred lists, so
38:36
we'll talk about them again and stuff like that. But first off, it's
38:38
just really fun to say goodbye to all the seniors. And I try not
38:43
to get too emotional about it because I get really invested, especially now that
38:46
these kids, you know, they were all much younger when we started doing
38:51
this. So I've seen all these kids for four years and it's it's a
38:55
lot of fun. Yeah. Then following that, Tyler will have well,
39:01
I mean, I guess pretty close to that time is when the Top one
39:05
hundred countdown will start. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it'll be right around
39:09
there. I will probably throw in a podcast talking about maybe the top fifty
39:15
for volleyball, just talking about and so kind of in between. I guess
39:21
that all the seniors and the top one hundred countdown. Yeah, so the
39:25
Top one hundred countdown will probably start counting down in early December because the volleyball
39:34
want'll wrap up. I want to say, like December second or third,
39:37
somewhere in there, and then all of a sudden, boom, it'll be
39:40
football and then we'll start counting down again. We had a lot of fun
39:45
one year, I think it was like three or four years ago where we
39:50
talked about everybody in the Top one hundred countdown one, you know, one
39:52
at a time, and I compared them to an X like an old seahawk
39:57
for that yeah, yeah, comparison. Yeah, yeah, And I've thought
40:00
about doing that again, or maybe even doing just an NFL comparison, because
40:06
I it's it's popped in my mind a few times with a couple of players.
40:09
So obviously if it's an NFL comparison, to be much harder for you
40:13
to guess it. You used to guess them and you would get them right
40:15
every once in a while. Yeah, yeah, And so obviously if you're
40:22
if you're going from the whole NFL, it's a little tougher. Yeah.
40:25
But you know, I'm thinking about maybe doing that again. And and but
40:30
that'll be fun to just to count those down. I have the hundred names,
40:35
I just don't know the order yet. So and this is this is
40:38
a really tough year there's been. This is my seventh year doing it,
40:45
I think, and I think that there's only been like two other years where
40:51
I haven't. I've like, I don't have a clear cut number one,
40:55
you know. I think most years I've had one, and this year as
41:00
long, along with a couple other years, I just I just don't.
41:07
It's hard, you know. I remember when Spencer Lloyd went it once.
41:10
I didn't know he was going to be my number one, but he was
41:14
my number one guy. You know, Gary Hatchett was number two. Yeah,
41:17
and and it was that was That's just the way that it went for
41:22
me. And this is one of those years where I don't have a clear
41:24
cut number one, So it'll be interesting how it all shakes out. And
41:28
now that all the football games are done, I can look at all the
41:30
notes I've taken over the years and little stars with the things I've written down.
41:35
And I'll even write down things and they'll say, Tyler, go back
41:37
and watch this play, you know, and it'll be like Week three,
41:40
play eighty seven. Watch watch this block, you know. And I'll go
41:45
back and I'll watch and I'm like, yeah, that's right, I remember
41:47
that. So there's lots of little things that I do to kind of figure
41:52
out where I'm going to place these kids. And like I always said,
41:54
how do you compare a you know, a Jesse Harvard with a Yorgan bigory
42:00
you know, uh, one's a right tackle and ones just kicks. It's
42:04
like, how do you how do you compare them? How do you compare
42:06
this guy with that? Well? A lot of it's just a you know,
42:09
just a gut feeling and and I just want everybody to have fun with
42:14
it and and uh hopefully not hopefully it doesn't get too negative, but it
42:19
kind of comes with the territory. But uh, you know, as long
42:22
as it's getting eyeballs, that's what makes it fun. The volleyball one has
42:25
been great, nothing but positivity. It's getting huge numbers, which is awesome,
42:32
and I just I love the the excitement that's going through the county with
42:39
it. It's it's people are really going crazy for I'll post something, I'll
42:44
look at it, you know, you know, an hour later and it's
42:47
got hundreds of you know, likes or clicks on the website, and it's
42:51
just like, man, this is this is so cool. I'm glad that
42:54
it's I'm able to shine this light onto another sport you know that really deserves
42:59
it, because it's it's amazing watching those those athletes play. Tyler, did
43:04
you see did you see Central Washington's in the quarterfinals of the D two?
43:10
I had, I had heard. I didn't I didn't see it, but
43:14
I had heard about it just thinking about it because I wanted to see,
43:16
are there anybody from Is there anybody from Wakam County? And I was going
43:21
through the list here and I only see one guy? Yeah, yeah,
43:24
boy, can you give me a hint, like what high school he played
43:29
at? Uh? Ferndale? And I'm not gonna lie. I don't recognize
43:35
this name at all. They had a few kickers. I think Patrick Haggerty
43:40
kicked there is it? I think he did? But it's a punter James
43:50
Hinson. No, who is it he went there? Didn't he? Yeah?
43:54
Yea. Let me just make sure there's nobody else on here. I
43:58
don't see. That's the only one I see. Is it? Is it
44:04
a Daniel Stewart? It is? He's still there? Yeah, it's that's
44:08
awesome. Uh where did he go here? I don't even see him now.
44:15
He disappeared in the time that I was. Yeah, it's the only
44:19
It's the only one I see. And obviously I'm just kind of scanning through
44:22
it pretty quickly, but I'm looking for you know, Ferndale, Blaine,
44:24
Linden, you know the city names. Basically, Dan Stewart is says he's
44:30
a red shirt sophomore. Wow. Yeah, yeah, And I guess with
44:35
COVID, like kids got an extra year and stuff like twenty nineteen graduate is
44:38
what it says. Yeah, that's crazy because you know what's I don't remember
44:45
him punting in high school at all. Really, it says here honorable mention
44:49
All Lone Star Conference in twenty twenty two, forty nine punts eighteen hundred and
44:54
thirteen yards for an average of forty one point two. That's a fridge.
44:59
Yeah, longest punt sixty seven yards against West Texas A and M. Thirteen
45:04
punts landed inside the opposing twenty yard line. Five punts over fifty yards and
45:08
one touchback. That's it. One touchback on forty nine punts. That's impressive.
45:14
Yeah, that is really impressive. That's hard to do. Uh.
45:17
Yeah, he did not punt in high school. He kicked, he was
45:22
he kicked extra points and field goals, and he was in that run of
45:24
left footed kickers again, just like Haggarty, and that's all they have in
45:29
Welcome County. Yeah. Yeah, and then James Worth was right after him.
45:31
He was left footed, of course, Biggory and then you know Pets
45:36
and Samukovic and everybody else but and Addison Shrock. Yes, but yeah,
45:44
that's crazy. Yeah, he did not punt in high school. And I
45:46
think the same thing happened with Haggarty. I went out and kicked with him
45:52
out at Seahome High School a few years ago. He was at Central at
45:55
the time, yep. And he was started by going to Simon Fraser or
46:02
did he end up at Simon Fraser. I don't I don't know. I
46:06
thought he started at Simon Fraser and then went to Central. Maybe he may
46:09
have, but but he, you know, he was kind of the reason
46:14
Daniel Stewart went there, and so he was kind of his in there and
46:17
I was hoping Dan was going to come out and kick with us, but
46:21
he couldn't make it. But yeah, that's pretty cool. Uh. And
46:27
I know I got to know Patrick pretty well. I don't know Dan that
46:29
well, but that's awesome that he's doing that and doing well. Between the
46:35
two of them, I would think that Haggerty would have been the punter because
46:37
he's about six' four and just you know, punters kind of have that
46:40
long, lean body, and the punters, for some reason, usually end
46:45
up being much taller, bigger in general than you know, placekickers almost look
46:51
like jockeys. Yeah, they're like they're they're built like more like soccer players,
46:54
and hunters like receivers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. The
47:00
grammaticas Tyler. Before we get out of here, let's do one last thing
47:02
here. Okay, I got five names for you. Okay, we're gonna
47:07
do the old You gotta put them in order, and you don't rank them.
47:12
You don't get to know who's next. Okay, all right now,
47:15
the categories here are Washington Sports, so it could be anything from Mariners to
47:28
Cougars to Sounders. Could be professional yeah, college, yes, but it's
47:35
it's it's all teams that that I feel like you have working knowledge of,
47:38
you know what I mean? And this is I'm ranking them supposedly by like
47:43
my favorites. Correct, Okay, Okay, We're gonna start off with Dan
47:47
Wilson. Oh the I thought it was teams, no no, no players.
47:52
Okay, Okay, I'm sorry. I was ready for for teams.
47:57
Okay. Oh boy, Dan Wilson, Well, my goodness, I'm gonna
48:01
go. I saw him hitt a home run in my first ever time ever
48:05
at Kingo Dead Centerfield. I am gonna go. I'm gonna go three just
48:12
as a good bass Steve Scheffler, Oh, love the chef, but I'm
48:19
gonna go four with him. Okay. John L. Williams, Oh,
48:24
my goodness. Two love John L. He was great, Drew bledsoe oh
48:35
man, Well back then, I didn't watch a ton of college football,
48:42
so I'm gonna go five. Oh yeah, and you know what, you're
48:45
gonna be really happy that you did. Okay, good Number one A guard
48:53
from the University of Washington, Pete callagas Ah. I love it. That's
49:02
good. That's good, that's good. I thought I might be this the
49:06
tricky there. I was thinking, you know, he, I knew you'd
49:10
go three with Wilson because it seems like you always go three to start,
49:13
which isn't a bad strategy really, I mean unless like you're unless you're clear,
49:16
like if I said cal Ripken, right, like boom number one over
49:21
with right. Yeah. So that's why I was like, Dan Wilson,
49:23
that's a solid one. Like he's gonna go in the middle. Scheffler is
49:25
gonna be tough. He's gonna have to go on either side of him,
49:29
you know. And then John L. Williams is gonna be another tough one
49:30
because if he goes four, he can't put John LL at five. There's
49:34
no way you can put John LL at five, right, No, totally,
49:36
you know what I was hoping was Drew Bledsoe. I was thinking,
49:39
maybe you'd be a little more into Drew Bledsoe. Yeah, I think I
49:43
think. I just I didn't watch a ton of college back then. I
49:46
remember I remember my mom going, my mom's saying, oh, he's from
49:53
Walla, Walla. I'm from Walla Walla. That's about all I remember back
49:58
back then. But and I really wanted the Hawks to take him when you
50:01
know, when they had the second pick. Obviously, the Patriots had the
50:04
first and they took Blitzo. So I was a Pltzo fan, and I'm
50:07
not necessarily a Husky's or Coup's guy, you know, but Pete calagis national
50:15
champion. My great grandpa played for the Cougars back in the thirties, and
50:21
when they made that Rose Bowl, and like when Ryan Leaf was there in
50:23
ninety eight, I think, yeah, seven, yeah, ninety seven maybe
50:30
yeah, because that's right, ninety eight was his rookie year. They always
50:34
talked about, oh, it's the first time they've been in the Rose Bowl
50:36
and so many years. Well, the last Rose Bowl team my great grandpa
50:38
played on, and he was a full back and middle linebacker, and I
50:44
think he even had a pick six earlier in the year, and I think
50:46
it was like nineteen thirty two or thirty three somewhere in there, and then
50:52
he had a tryout with a There was one year the Eagles and the Steelers
50:57
combined for a team in the and this is the early thirties, so it
51:01
was you know, it was very different back then, but neither team could
51:06
really was. They were both kind of fledgling a little bit. Yeah,
51:08
So they joined for one year and they were called it wasn't official, but
51:13
they were. They called themselves the Steagles, and yeah, it's crazy.
51:17
Well, Milt was Milt Steegel. Wasn't he a wide receiver in the Canadian
51:22
Football League. Milt Steegel, was he? That's a name. Yes,
51:29
Oh my goodness, I haven't heard that name. I think he played a
51:31
little bit for the Bengals too. St Yeah, Milt st g A L
51:37
L. Yeah, and he did. He played for the Bengals, look
51:39
at you. Yeah, four with the Bengals. Ninety five he was on
51:43
the practice squad or off season of the Packers and then he played for the
51:46
Winnipeg Blue Bombers from ninety five to eight. Yeah, so played CFL a
51:52
long time he was a he was a he was a return guy. That's
51:54
what I remember with the Yes, yeah he was. I think it wasn't
51:58
he kind of a small guy well for twenty four No, but I remember
52:00
that he was like he was one of those guys that just had a lot
52:05
of what's the guy who is the human joystick? Yeah, Dante Hall.
52:10
Dante Hall. He had like a lot of Dante Hall on him, you
52:12
know what I mean, Like he could change change directions and yeah, you
52:15
know, do all kinds of crazy stuff. Nine times CFL All Star Most
52:19
Outstanding Player. In two thousand and two, he won the Tom Paate Memorial
52:22
Award, which is for outstanding sportsmanship and someone who made a significant contribution to
52:29
the community. And then he's also in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Hall of Fame.
52:34
Right now, farhand Loggy's listening to this and going, yes, this
52:37
is awesome. Yeah, he's losing his mind. By the way. He
52:39
was at the Seahawks game on Thursday. I didn't get a chance to say
52:45
hi to him because I was I had a kind of had a jet out
52:47
of the game and he was working the game. The Monday night game Chiefs
52:52
Eagles he was, he was. He was on the sideline for that,
52:55
like like right after the Great Cup was I mean, he he's the the
52:59
hard working guy. Yeah. Well, hey, you know what, when
53:01
he needs someone to cover a big event, far Haunds the guy. He
53:05
is the guy. By the way, nineteen ninety seven, Tyler, you're
53:07
talking about that the last time Nebraska won a national championship. Yeah, And
53:12
I've never been a bigger Cougar fan than I was that year because they split
53:15
the national championship with Michigan. Who was played in the Rose Bowl, right
53:22
right? That was Charles Woodson, Yes, right, like he was like
53:27
that was his senior year and yeah, I won. Yeah, yeah,
53:30
he won the Heisman. He was probably the last defensive player to win the
53:34
Heisman. Yeah, I know. Aiden Hutchinson got second place and well yeah
53:42
he finished like fourth or something like just completely awful. Remember Hugh I remember
53:47
Hugh Green was an outside linebacker for Pittsburgh back in the seventies and was like
53:54
everyone was like he's the best player, but they're never gonna get it to
53:58
give it to a defensive guy. And I think he got second. Let's
54:00
see here just maybe quickly back, Uh, yeah, he was the last
54:07
defensive player. And I'm just going back even further really quickly. I don't
54:10
see any other defensive players. Yeah, they really tried Honey Badger, right,
54:15
Tyrane, Tyrone Matthews. They really trying to get him to do something,
54:21
do a lot of things so he could try to get the heisman.
54:23
Yeah, two thousand and nine should have been in Domakunk, Sue, let's
54:30
see here, it ended up going to mark Ingram Right. Well, why
54:37
wasn't that easy to look up? You could think would be easier than that.
54:42
But yeah, and then there was another guy I'm trying to remember it
54:49
was. I feel like, was it Patrick Peterson? Maybe they tried to
54:53
they tried to really try to push for him. I've always been a Patrick
54:55
Peterson fan. It was He's one of those guys that was like, why's
54:59
he got to be the stinking Cardinals? You know what I mean? Like
55:01
I hate it when guys that I really like, for some reason end up
55:04
on teams that I just don't like, you know, Like, there's nothing
55:08
to dislike about Rock Party other than the fact that he's on the stinking forty
55:13
nine ers, you know what I mean. Like, you know, his
55:15
brother is the starting quarterback at Nebraska. Oh that's cool. I didn't know
55:20
that Tuba Party. So here's here's the thing. I got just absolutely screwed
55:23
by the Party family two days in a row because he threw a pick with
55:28
like forty seconds left that ended up leading to the game tying or game winning
55:30
field goal for Iowa on Friday. Yeah. Oh, I just yeah,
55:35
me and that family don't get along right now. We were not. I
55:37
mean, they don't know it, but we don't that Spencer. Yeah,
55:44
yeah, they don't know anything about it. They really don't have an idea
55:46
that I even exist. Yeah. Uh, let's see anything else, Tyler,
55:52
We've done. I think we're done. We're done. All right,
55:55
